Fun-O-Rama finally ended!
Wow, it was super tiring...
My class games stall is 'Shoot Shoot Boat"
What a stupid name..but for some weird reason, they say the stupider the name, the more interesting the game will seem. I used to think it was stupid but after yesterday, maybe it's not that stupid after all.Because when there were kids playing our game, I heard parents who were trying to encourage their kids to shoot faster saying 'SHOOT SHOOT!'. Hahas, now I think that it's a title that makes sense.
Wow, met up with a lot of problems during the preparation on friday. The tub for the boat was too small, the boats would self-distruct, we didn't have enough table cloth, the timing for the boat to move was in accurate etc. But still we managed to overcome it and made our stall quite a success yesterday!
I'm actually quite surprised that our stall did managed to get so much customers because in most cases, people would rather spend money on food than the games but yet I think we got more customers than our food stall (maybe the weather yesterday was too hot for people to eat curry bah). Maybe our prizes are quite good too.
Oh, and the pizza's 'hot' sticker turned 'hot' under the sun. The sticker would turn black under normal conditions and showed the 'hot' words when the tempreature's hot. And it really showed 'hot' when we placed it under the sun yesterday!
The pasta by the parent's support group was super nice! It was my lunch in the late afternoon.
Oh, and melissa was super upset? pissed?...(er i don't know what word to describe what she looked like then) when we just let the 'mystery person' get away without introducing our stall. Haix, what a pity...he came during the peak period and we didn't have the time to entertain him...hahas, don't know how mel know's he's the mystery person... Maybe he asked alot of questions bah.
Ah, and the last part I remembered most was when everyone was trying to win the I Pod Shuffle when we have to close the stall. Hahas, almost everyone was trying and it was so funny.
Oh, and a super cute teddy bear commited suicide...we hanged it on our banner so that the banner doesn't fly up..wonder how's the bear doing now...
But I did get to win quite some prizes when we played at the end of the day..hahas, the classes were trying to give away their prizes to close their stall so we even got some things for free.
It's finally over...Wahh, super tired.

My blog is like so dead...Ok, i'll update.
Er, went for CO camp from mon to wed, now i'm left with a moutain load of homework to complete.I can't belive i'm still blogging now...
For the camp, we had tons of sectional practice...
Oh, I finally learned how to change the beansprouts to numbers!Yea!( but I slept at 2.30 am...)
Watched National Treasure (although I watched it before, i's still quite nice to refresh the memory)...
Played 2 quite violent games.
Combine practice where I was struggling to play the C major (I never played a song in C major before!)...
These are not in chronological order...I'm just crapping what ever I can think of.
Food was relatively ok...bread for breakfast,two meals of chicken rice, fried rice that cannot be finished by a person with average appetite. But the buffet for the first night was very nice! Hahas, I guess thats's the best meal we had.
Thank goodness we don't have to wait in a long queue to bathe unlike the camps I've been to! We just went to the Sports complex where there are tons of cubicles..
Er, nothing I can think of to add.
Arh! I still have a moutainful of homework!!! I'll conqure them all!!!
Till I tag again...

I was doing my chinese homework and just so happen managed to recycled a little of what I did for chinese in secondary school. I revisit the story of The Thorn Birds which I once wrote about as a newspaper reflection about 2 to 3 years ago and the story touched me once again.
传说 荆棘鸟，是自然界一种奇特的动物，它一生只唱一次歌。从离开雀巢开始，便不停执着地寻找荆棘树。当它终于如愿以偿，就把自己娇小的身体扎进一株最长、最尖的荆棘上，和着血和泪放声歌唱——那凄美动人、婉转如霞的歌声使人间所有的声音刹那间黯然失色！一曲终了，荆棘鸟终于气竭命陨，以身殉歌——以一种惨烈的悲壮塑造了美丽的永恒，给人们留下一段悲怆的谜。
A Poem about the Thorn Bird.
传说中有一种荆棘鸟 一生只唱一次
那歌声比世界上所有一切生灵的歌声都更加优美动听
从离开巢窝的那一刻起 她就在寻找荆棘树 直到如愿以偿
然后 她把自己的身体扎进最长、最尖的刺上
在那荒蛮的枝条之间放开歌喉 在奄奄一息的时刻里 她超脱了自身的痛苦
那歌声使云雀和夜莺都黯然失色
这是一曲无比美好的歌 曲终而命竭
然而 整个世界都在静静地谛听 上帝也在苍穹中微笑
因为 最美好的东西只能用深痛巨创来换取
There's this legend about a Thorn Bird that sings only once.
Her voice is the most beautiful among any other living creature's voice on earth.
She searches for the thorn tree ever since she left her nest.
Till her wish is fulfilled,
She plunges her body towards the longest and sharpest thorn.
Between that wild branches she opens up her voice,
In her dying moments she transcends her pain.
This is an incomparably beautiful song, As a life exhaust.
However, as the whole world listen quietly, God gently smiled among the midst.
Because the best things can only be exchanged for with the most heartfelt pain.
(Adapted from baidu.com)
Okay,I changed the words a little for it to make more sense,but the meaning is still there. Gotta go do homework now~

Oh gosh! It's been so long since I last blogged!
Okay I'm in ACJC now. Yah!
Hahas, I didn't regret my choice!
I'll try to summarise what happen for this two months.
Orientation was fun.
Vasillia Power! Vasillia Power!
We're gonna get you high! We're gonna get you high!
Cos we got superpower! Cos we got superpower!
We're gonna fly! We're gonna fly!
(In the tune of the chorus of Sugar by Flo Rida)
This is my fav clan cheer!
Okay, my clan's Vasillia, which represent the wind.
And my OG is Rhalutu!
We are Rhalutu! And we will own you!(x3)
Now in class 1SC4.
Same class as Pei Sin and Melissa....I'm so lucky!
I'm also in the same class with two of my OG friends!
Okaes, joining Chinese Orchestra again...I might be one of those whose skills cannot make it de. There's someone who is playing my instrument and is a J1 and is a diploma!And there's another guy whose grade 4! Oh gosh! I really have to practice very hard ler! I'm only a grade one! Nevermind...I have great ambition...so i'll try very hard :)
I wanted to join CLDDS again(which the school calls CCS), but I'm daunted there so i guess I'm currently thinking which second CCA to join. Nevermind, I'll find something somehow.
Hopefully I can try to get into the student council! Wonder when their selection gonna start...
I finally knew why AC's aesthetic is so good! Their PE is super 'great'! And it's only the beginning, it'll get even better... But in a good way it does train up on our stamina, not like Fuhua's slacking PE lessons.
Oh I took part in the competitive run for cross-country and I got a position of 177! This is scary!
177!!!As I was standing quite in front of the queue for the competitive run, ton's of people overtook me!And according to Jia ying, I'm the fist girl to start walking among the midst of female athletes! Oh gosh! I so gotta train up on my stamina...the AC girls are FAST!!!
I miss all my secondary school friends and teachers! I miss everyone! But I guess we still have to move on. Life's like that. Hopefully i'll have a fun time here.
Anyone wants to buy Fun-O-Rama tickets? ;p

Yes!I watched New Moon with beiling yesterday!Ahh, im head over heels over the series again.Although I guess I forgoten a lot of the story as it has been quite some time since I finished the series. The guy who acted as jacob is really well shaped! Okay, im trying to phrase it in something more morally correct. In other words, he's hot! Hahas, first time admiting it....im getting embarassed.
Nevermind, I guess the movie has refreshed my memory of the story a little. But the volturi is totally not like what I imagined and the jane in my imagination is much shorter like a kid.Oh and the edward in the movie blurred my imaginary edward too. Nevermind, I guess that is the director's interpretation ba.The movie was quite nice but I think one would be able to understand it better if they had read the book, or else they would be asking alot of questions about the whole movie just like what beiling did.
Maybe time really flies when you are having fun. I felt that the movie was really short, hahas perhaps couldn't get enough of the movie I guess.

Yea! I just came back from trip to thailand! This is probably my first time going to somewhere further than malaysia for an overseas trip, so i'll definately cherish it well. But I was quite sick throughout the whole trip having headache and cough so I didn't feel really good.
Well, we went shopping all four days and it was rather tiring but I really bought a lot of clothes! I went there with only half a bag but came back with one full bag. There are really a lot of shops selling female clothes! We even took a whole day to shop one shopping mall! But most of the clothes are free size so my mum and aunts could not buy much. But the clothes are quite cheap( as compared to singapore) and we still can bargain for a lower cost.
Oh we saw a lot of half gender people, and there are far more female than males there. This trip also proved that makeup can really change a person a lot too.
The breakfast buffet at the hotel was quite good. There is a large vairety of food to choose from and they do change some of their menu everyday. Anyways, for lunch and dinner we usually dine at restaurant because some of my relative said that they couldn't get use to the thai food. An irony that we are eating japanese food in thailand, I guess that is the result of globalisation.
Thats all.

Hey hey, 'o' are finally over!!! I have been busy these few weeks shopping and proming and job finding.
Okay, i'll update from what I did after 'o's. On friday, saturday and monday about two weeks ago, went jp, orchard to shop for prom dress. Oh ya, and I got most of my birthday presents on friday which made 13th november more of my birthday than on 15th. Anyways, thanks for the presents and messages!
Next, on to prom, 23rd dec 09. I didn't have a camera so don't have any pictures, but everyone was super pretty! I mean the girls. No matter how guys dress up they still look the same. Oh, and many thanks to eng hoong's aunt who helped yan qing, weilin and I to make up! I didn't know making up is so complicated! Okay, maybe not that it is complicated, it is just that there are so many chemicals and powder to put on the face that I feel that it is very troublesome and costly. But makeup really make a person look totally different and beautiful. Makes me really wanna learn how to make up, maybe i'll attend a lesson from a professional if there is a chance.
Everyone was so pretty and I guess it was quite hard to choose the prom king and queen. But I still feel that alot of the pretty girls weren't chosen as the canidates. What a pity for these girls! So sad that I didn't have a camera with me....once in a lifetime chance missed to take down this memorable time!
The food was ordinary, quite okay but not worth $70. The chocolate cake was quite nice though. There are quite many variety but not many that are attractive. Oh man, talking about food makes me hungry...
Oh, I still remember the emcees asking the participants how much they spent on the dress, hair and everything. Well, I spent only $2.50 on a pair of stockings. Somehow I managed to borrow the dress and the rest I used what I already had. Not that I am stingy, it's just that i spent just thousand over dollars on my Pipa and would be quite heartbroken if I continue spending.
So, I bought my pipa and am now learning from zhou lao shi. Learning an instrument is a really expensive thing to do but I guess I really wanna learn so i'll put in my best to practice so that the money isn't put to waste. The Pipa is quite nice, it produces echo and reverberation unlike the school's pipa.
I went to the singapore Zoo on tues 24th dec with family. There are alot of animals that I can't quite remember them all. It seems to have been a long time since I went to the zoo. The animals are so cute and cool but yet are drove to extinction by humans, the saddening truth. Haix, I guess I could just do my part not to harm them, I really hope that everyone could feel that way.
What would a thriving economy and moutainful of money be of use when all biodiversity and lives are lost? In the past, humans created money for survival and justice, but now I guess it is the same money that is driving us to our deaths and bringing injustice to life.
Next, moving on to class outing. Less than half of the class arrived and we bbq and cycled. Mun teng made a 4E5 sign on one of the tables using the seashells we collected, but someone cleared it away! I made a sign for them not to touch but they still cleared it anyway! When we bbq crabstick, the crabstick came off into pieces and so we made crabstick noodle! Looks like noodles but taste like crabstick! Mun teng and Rui ting made delicious roasted marshmallows for us! Thanks! It is like soft and flowy inside but cripsy outside!
We cycled around east coast.I didn't know east coast was that big lor! I wanted to cycle on a one person bicycle but I ended up riding a doubles with hweehien. It was quite unsteady at first but I guessed we got the hang of it later. Then halfway on the trip, the chain on the bicycle came off and I had to put the chain back! The grease on the bike is still on my hand lor! So dirty!
Oh, and I took back all the leftover uncooked chicken wings and otah. Unbeliveablely, my family finished them all in just two days! My mom says defrost chicken cannot be put back into the freezer so we had to finish them all.
I was looking for jobs these few days, hopefully i'll be able to find one soon. Going on a shopping spree to thailand on 2 dec to 5 dec...yes! I am finally able to say that the furthest place I had went to is to Thailand! I had only been to malaysia before....That's why I wanna go on a backpacking trip when I grow up!
Oh, and the chocolate cake I bought from hweehien was super delicious!I'll end here for now! Gotta go practice on my instrument! Happy holidays! Oh and I just signed in on facebook,so add as friends if possible! Bye!
