Wheeeee.

Gentle Revelations

2011-06-14T01:37:00.006+08:00

Hai guys. :B I know it's been a while, and I apologize for my laziness. :S

Anyway. Yesterday, I went on a mug date with my dear Mare and Zhamin. I didn't get much work done in all honesty, but what I'll definitely remember about it, was how they helped me to see some things in perspective. They did it in a pretty effective way- A way in which I accepted what they said pretty easily, cuz I thought it made sense; in a way in which I didn't feel compelled to fight back, not even in my head (which has been pretty explosive thoughts-wise, lately.) Cuz I realised how worried some people were over me, to the extent that they'd talk about me among themselves. I was so surprised; definitely touched and very very thankful too.

To all my girls from TKGS (Sa, Fee, Zhamin, Mare, Si Jia), TPJC (Dory, Erika, Phyllis, Sarah) and from BOTH TK and TP (Fai and Nad), I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you have shown me especially during the last (especially) four years of my life. You should know that I love and reallllly appreciate you guys. Y'all make life so much more bearable, and I'm eternally grateful for your friendship. (Above-mentioned list not exhaustive, of course.)

Before me ends off tonight, I'd like to show you guys the original version of my latest status update.

"Sometimes (like now), me feels that being sentimental is only good for reducing people's hearts into gooey messes. Other than that, it's part of the reason why my room is so messeh and why I keep re-visiting the past in my head. WHICH GETS IN THE WAY OF A LOT OF THINGS. As I type this I'm thinking of counterarguments. But yeah whatever you get it."

G'night guys I love y'all.

HELLO!!! Errr. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :B

Sooo, this year is gonna be crazy-busy. (I think one word that features in close to all of my later posts is 'busy'. -.-) CM-ing, SYF, The As... What have you. :/ Don't expect this blog to be more alive than it was. Go check out my twitter (debzmemorymush) though! That I update almost everyday (98% of the time?), unless I'm out of town.

OH. And. Some lyrics. Mare's right, it describes me so well. Well perhaps not the whole song, but the third-eighth lines at least.

David Choi- Won't Even Start

What happened after last summer
When we broke up in September

I haven't seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
It's always there no matter where I've been

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

CHORUS:
Because if I look into your eyes
Then I'll have to say goodbye
And that'll break my heart
So I won't even start
No, I won't even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
That's the best
I can do for you

'Cause you'll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah, it's hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it'll cut me like a knife

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street
I'll pretend that I didn't see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

CHORUS:

So I won't even start
No, I won't even start

I'll be okay
I'll be okay- That's what I'll Say

BRIDGE:
So if I ever see you on the street

So I won't even start
No, I won't even start
No, I wont even start

I don't think I really chronicle my personal life here, cuz it's just too public. I mean, not like many people come here or anything, but yeah you get what I mean. My Mummy always warns me to be careful online, so I heed her words. Here, at least.

But if you're reading this, you probably already know about my (personal) life luh. :) Lately I've even begun to feel that I perhaps say too much, and that makes me feel, show-off. :/ Gee.

Okay luh I better go. I've a lot of (last minute; what's new) online homework and research to do!

Thank you for reading my boring blog; I hope to reward all ye faithful readers at the end of the year when I'll be freeeee for like 8 months.

I send my luv; have a great 2011 ahead babies! :)

Beezee Holidays!

2010-12-11T21:01:00.003+08:00

HELLO YES I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN THE LONGEST TIME!

The holidays have been crazy busy. 2 WHOLE weeks have just whizzed by me. What I've spent it on:
1. 27th November- A class ice-skating outing (which was kinda phail given that only our dear civics tutor Ms Yeo, Chesna, Dory, Grace, Isaac, Phyllis and I went.) But it was fun. :)
2. 30th November-2nd December- A Combined Regional Chalet thing for Church. It was AWESOMESXZ. :D Got to make some new friends- Jolene, Claire, Steph... And managed to catch up with old friends like Abby, Elizabeth and Gab so it was cool. ^^V
3. 10th December- Choir Movie Marathon WHOOOOO. Okay so, it wasn't really a marathon, cuz we only watched two shows: Failure to Launch, and Toy Story 3. The former was a good rom-com starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey. The latter, was laden with life lessons, not exactly a kids' show and was tear-jerking as it drew to a close, just as friends who've watched it said. To add on the tear-jerking bit, it's quite WHOE to me cuz we all know that crying is physically draining, and prior to this movie thing, I slept at 5+ in the morning. For someone who teared (rather than really cried) at her Graduation Ceremony thing last year (and at a school and with friends she LOVED), this is saying something. Thereafter we had a post-marathon hangout, where we played Chinaman to finish up the drinks, and the rest played assorted card games (I'm a card game dumdum), for which forfeits included finishing the drinks, and Truth or Dare. Played Shoot, Kiss or Marry (a PG version) as we left too. :D Had a htht with Nad when we bussed back. Boy was it good to get that Imagined List off my chest. :)
4. Choir Practice! Yeah, preparing for SYF next year lor. OH. I must say, that I love my Altos- Ain, Ariel (my prettaye co-SL), Em, Gillian, Gui Fang, Mindy, Nad and Xue Han. We DA MEAT (in the words of our conductor Ms Ong), and we take lots of pride in that. :DD United we're patty, divided we're... Minced. D: So yes, united we are. :) Can't say how much I love this buncha happy, high and lovely people.
5. Evangelistic-Gig (hereafter known as E-Gig) Choir practices! Yours truly has been heading to Redhill and Bukit Batok twice weekly for at least 3 weeks now to perfect the sole song we're doing, Joyful Joyful. It's from Sister Act 2, and we're performing for the second night of Rhema Conference 2010. (An annual youth conference my church, Grace Assembly of God holds!)
6. Chores. Especially when my Mum wasn't around, I was the unofficial Kitchen Guardian (though I didn't cook, just cleaned/maintained), and helped out with the laundry.
7. Going online for absurd amounts of time, and getting scolded/lectured/chided for my (sometimes resultantly) horrible sleep habits by the folks and Grandma. Oops.
8. Sleeping in. It's the holidays. Self-explanatory.

All that means, that the only homework I've completed so far is reading Birds of Passage, Disgrace and writing One Sentence of my Lit report on the Apartheid. Yes, win I know. Given that tomorrow, I'll be out the whole day with my lame COOLies (my cell kids lah), Rhema (a whole-day affair, mind you) from Monday to Wednesday (though I'm likely to skip the day portion of Wednesday), and Choir practice from Wednesday to Friday. Oh Friday's prac is a morning And afternoon affair.

Ohoh. Y'know this coming's week practices disrupted 3 events I planned?? THREE. My gosh. And I being good girl, being SL, will not pon. Choir I don't mind (though my complaints may suggest otherwise), but please please tell us earlier leh!! I signed up for Rhema cuz I thought my not having choir on those days was a Divine Sign to go for it. Then I was supposed to have a picnic with the Fabs (Fee, Mare and Sa), cuz I ASSUMED choir'd be in the morning on Thursday. I made tentative plans with Phyllis to mug on Friday. TOTALLY CANNOT NOW. Sigh.

Anyhow. I better get off. Thank you for reading my boring blog Iloveyou. :)

Ps: I'm busier during the holidays than post-PW! : /

Life, Post-PW

2010-11-17T23:41:00.004+08:00

Okay I'm gonna make the most of my last 19 legal minutes of leisure online time.

Yep, I've been promoted. :) It's thanks to God's grace and PAP scores (the official name for class participation scores) really.

What I'm not so happy about, is that it's taken 3 classmates of mine away. One's already left Singapore, one will do likewise in a matter of time, and the last will be repeating a year. And they're all guys so can you imagine, the lack of testosterone we'll have in class next year? :( Okay no seriously speaking, the girl:guy ratio was 3:1. Next year, it'll be 15:2. WHAT IS THIS??!? I do not like the promos for doing this to my friends, my classmates/fellow choristers/seniors. :'( To know that next year, you won't see some familiar faces in class, or even around school, is sad. I mean, this didn't happen in TKGS you know?? I can't really express my feelings in words lah, but this sucks.

Oh and my dear Maremare- PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!!! I hope your foot gets better pronto k. I'll pray for you.

Life now is ~~. Like I'm not busy with tutorials/homework or whatever now, but choir has re-started, and tomorrow Ariel (my prettaye co-SL) and I will be leading at least 2 hours of sectionals. Cuz we're supposed to finish all 11 carols by Friday when Ms Ong comes in. And as of yesterday, we only finished 4. :S And some of us Altos (including yours truly) are still blur at some parts. God help us please!

Y'know, I've been learning recently the importance of talking things out. It can really make a break a relationship, or make you feel 18209815 times better/worse. (If you're reading this, you probably know what I'm referring to, but also, there's more to it than you think luh haha.) I've found over the years, how someone I originally deemed annoying or not someone I'd really like to associate with, is actually quite nice and all, after I start talking to the person. Yesterday was good, for that reason. (No, not that I thought the person annoying lah.) :)

It's midnight. Night honeybunnies.

Ps: PW was outta my life forever and ever and ever amen last Friday. XD

THE RELEASE OF THE STATEMENT OF RESULTS IS IN ABOUT 7 HOURS.

2010-11-11T00:45:00.004+08:00

Okay, so OP was okay I guess.

THE STATEMENT OF RESULTS WILL BE RELEASED IN LESS THAN 8 HOURS AND I AM DEAD SCARED.

And I'm not making things better for myself with the fact that my Insights and Reflections (I&R) currently is composed of a measely 88 words, and words that are not EE at that. Did I mention that the first draft was due last Monday, and that even if I somehow finish it tonight, that my super-efficient supervising tutor may not have time to mark it today cause she's so busy with the written reports? Oh and that the final copy's due tomorrow?? Oh and I'm listening only to sad songs now.

Totally not making myself feel better huh.

Okay, I shall do my best to do my I&R now. And stop thinking about things that shouldn't matter.

I am the cause of like I dunno, at least 90% of my problems? Sigh why do I never learn.

Good night.

My OP Speech

2010-11-09T01:47:00.005+08:00

Heyhey.

I don't think anyone really cares, but here's my Oral Presentation speech. :D

"Thank you Ann Gie.

We will now move on to the first of our initiatives- The Changing Room (TCR).

TCR, as mentioned by our first speaker Isaac, serves as the initial stage of, and follow-up treatment in our plan. We feel that there is an urgent need for school-based help centres to be included in our project, because while a vast 73.8% of reported anorexia cases involved students, schools only referred 6.3% of these cases for treatment. As such, this highlights the need for schools to be more vigilant in the detection and prevention of anorexia. To prepare for the implementation of TCR, school counselors will undergo a full-day workshop conducted by the MOE, focusing on anorexia detection, treatment methodologies and support for sufferers.

The target audience of TCR will consist of both newly-diagnosed youth from both secondary schools and tertiary institutions, as well as recovering youths who have graduated from Camp Metamorphosis, which our next speaker Dawn will cover.

To identify anorexic students, there will be two rounds of diagnostic assessments that culminate in a face-to-face consultation. Based on students’ weights recorded in the school’s online database, those with a Body Mass Index that is lower than 18, an indicator of their being underweight, will be identified. However, as this method is blind to other factors of thinness such as genetics, a second round of diagnosis will be held for a more qualitative confirmation. This process will involve teacher feedback of students whose names have been surfaced. Those suspected by their tutors of being anorexic will then attend a face-to-face consultation, during which the trained school counselor will administer the Eating Attitudes Test, which scores a person’s body image perception and eating habits, followed by an interview.

After these youth have been identified, they will be given more information on their diagnosis, and strongly encouraged to be treated for their condition.

Parents of these youths will be invited to attend at least two sessions (out of ten) per term at TCR with their child. Through this measure, we hope to give them a better understanding of their child’s situation, improve familial understanding, and allow the recovering youths to have support from their family. This is important because continued support is the key to recovery from eating disorders. To accommodate parents who cannot attend these sessions, the counselor will either hold a video conference or video-record the session. Parents who view the session through the recording will be able to further communicate with the counselor through phone and/or electronic-mail.

With regard to public education, we propose the creation of a school-based magazine entitled Weight and See. Distributed in the school every term, it will give examples of other cultures’ notions of beauty. We intend for this to question the acceptance of anorexic models, and prove that one need not be slender to be beautiful. The latter of these will hopefully discourage youths from becoming anorexic just for vanity’s sake. We also wish to educate readers about the various causes of anorexia- to let them know, that vanity is but one of the minor reasons that people become ill. The empathetic feel of the magazine will hopefully help anorexics realize that being thin is not what they are really after- Because while they may feel that being skinny helps them feel better about themselves, their real problem is their inability to accept themselves. Finally, we hope for Weight and See to point anorexics to TCR for the support they need.

Our group feels this is an effective method of outreach because regular magazine-reading is a habit of more than half, or 54% of Singaporean youths. We also feel that this approach may be helpful to anorexics, who are likely in a state of denial about their condition as it can help them understand themselves better and be more open to the reality of their physical conditions.

To incentivize the reading of Weight and See, online quizzes relating to the magazine will be held fortnightly, with vouchers given as prizes.

To incorporate the lessons we have learnt from the National Smoking Control Programme, TCR functions as both term-time and follow-up treatment. This ensures that sustainability is achieved with our programme, as its various components work together to enable the recovery of the patient. The reach of our public education efforts is also expanded through the incorporation of a media popular with youths.

To further empower these youths in their journey to overcoming anorexia, our next speaker Dawn will now explain the second, and more intensive measure in our programme, Camp Metamorphosis."

My class's OP assessment will be held today, and ditto that of Mare and Gayathri. All the best to us, may we be graded as having Exceeded Expectations all the way! :)

G'night.

I'll Miss You

2010-10-30T19:50:00.004+08:00

Everyone has a story about how someone whom they care for very much left the country for some faraway place.

I guess this will be mine.

POST PROMOS!

2010-10-11T02:50:00.004+08:00

Yes, the CPR has worked.

My tweeting and laziness rendered this blog unconscious for a month and a third. :S

Anyhow. I find myself lacking the inspiration to blog these days, cause twitter is just a fantastic avenue to give status updates 24/7. Its 140 character-limit makes it all the better for people like me who are simply too lazy to type out chunks of words at a go.

I realise that may not exactly be a good thing though. I think writing recreationally helps develop one's skills as a scribe, even if you can't rant or rave about random rubbish in exams. Yes, I speak as an arts student who takes the bare requirement to -balance- out her combination.

Okay so, I have finished my Promos, and it was a disaster. And, when I say disaster, I don't mean 'wah die I'm not gonna get my As/Bs/Cs/Ds', I mean 'okay I'm just going to prepare for my 97% chance of getting... (fill in the dots)'. (I won't type it out cause people have sorta made me promise not to think/worry about it. Err, actually, I know I've kinda already broken the promise, but you must understand... Okay no there's no justifying this Deb.) If you're reading this, you'll probably already have heard me say/saw my text, but just for posterity's sake: I didn't answer the question for GP, mugged too little for Econs, didn't do half the Math paper and barely wrote the last out of 3 essays for Literature. CSE, well I should be able to pass, but that is certainly not enough to redeem me. My school's promotional criteria, is i. Pass 2 H2s and 1 H1, and ii. At least 30% for each subject. So there you go. Okok. I shall try and keep my promise and stop going on and on about this. The Statement of Results will be released in exactly a month, and that scares me no end, but it's not like I can turn back time so it's not really wise to emo and worry now.

I've realised for me, that certain experiences, when not relived for long enough, tend to be forgotten. I forget what I did, how I felt... Though I figure their effects on me are probably still there, even if they code for just one tiny aspect of the way I am. Stuff like my experience in the TKGS choir (the Italy competition-trip, in particular), and even some aspects of being and singing with my current TPJC choir have been forgotten. Or at least cannot be recalled. For instance, I was actually complaining about the intensive practices we were supposed to have this week (5 times!) and yesterday, and I suspect it's simply because I have forgotten (just saying 'slipped my mind' doesn't cut it because it's too mild) the awesomeness of being there. And yes, you'll know if you read the last post that I LOVE THE TPJC CHOIR. I find the TPJC choir more fun to be in, as compared to the TKGS one. Of course, that is not to say that I've forgotten the merits of the latter. I made some awesome friends there (the Fabs and Jia Min), was part of a Gold with Honours choir Twice, had a conductor whom I could talk about with my Mum (because she used to conduct my Mum's choir)... Yeah. One thing I realised after I left though, is an inferiority complex that bugged me during a substantial part of my time there. There were so many people who took MEP and had vocal lessons, or who were just naturally talented there, and some other personal rubbish (which was exceptionally bad during the trip). Nonetheless, warm memories never fail to flood my little heart whenever I step into Beethoven room, that sacred place in which we spent hours singing, talking (oops), getting scolded and (not long before SYF 2007) crying in. That smell, that atmosphere, it just makes me feel young and happy again, and this is by no means an exagerration.

Oh and I don't think they'll see this, but a big shout-out and thank you to all my friends and classmates (especially the CSE gang: Atiqah, Cla, Erika, Phyllis and Ying Xuan) who put up with all my rants about how I didn't think I was going to make it and the post-exam silent spells (when I'd just keep really quiet while everyone else discussed the paper, hoping someone'd notice my silence and ask if I was okay. Alas, this eyebrow-raising-what-on-earth-were-you-thinking tactic worked.) After the Lit paper, I cried within seconds of Cla approaching me. I told myself I wouldn't, yet I did. I mean who on earth will be as persistent and stupid about pursuing her you-finish-what-you start ideal, and spend 1.5 hours on the unseen poetry question which leaves you with a mind-numbing 15 minutes to do the last essay on?! To top things off, I picked the last question wrongly. -.- After the paper, I threw the string that was meant to tie up that uncompleted essay into my wallet as a reminder of the stupid things I do.

Lord help me to surrender my life and being totally unto Your Hands; I can't manage on my own even if I'd like to. Because You Lord, gave me everything that I have.

Good night darlings, my eyes are not staying open for long.

The Brag Post

2010-09-01T04:26:00.003+08:00

Hello I apologise if you're getting fed up coming here and seeing the same post for like 3 weeks straight. Anyhow.

I REALLY WANT TO DO LINGUISTICS IN UNI. More more so than sociology at this point in time. I attribute this to a satisfying score in the GP Comprehension CA (not even 50% lah, but whatever) and my being able to suggest words/phrases in GP and Lit class fairly accurately recently. I don't mean to show off! It's just that because I don't seem to be good at a lot of stuff, this apparent little talent of mine just Demands my attention. When I write, I really try to be as accurate with my words- magnitude and meaning, as possible. It helps that I tweet so much rubbish most days too, haha. Most tweets are sent off with repeated checks. In addition, my having little faith in myself for the promos means that I've resorted recently to thinking that I won't mind retaining if TPJC were to offer English Language and Linguistics (ELL) next year. I really don't think that's gonna happen though, so really there's no escaping from mugging. (Was there ever anwyay??!?) GOD HELP ME PLEASE, REALLY. Oh did I tell you? If I do linguistics in university, I wanna join a dictionary-writing team after that. I mean like a proper, official dictionary lah. Not a random compilation of my pet phrases and words. (Although it'd be nice to do that too, haha.)

Oh I'm Alto SL! Such a dream come true. (: I'm really glad to have been given this chance to do more than just teach my Altos new songs (as I learnt quite scarily during the try-out period), though I really hope we won't get a set piece with some complicated note-timings like Sounds of Joy next year. That's because I'm really scared of rhythms now as it is. So yep, I've been spammed by Gillian and Eliz (the president and vice-president respectively) these past few weeks, and been forwarding these official texts to my alto 2s. CHOIR'S AWESOME. It's fun, (at the very least) most of us are pretty passionate about it, and there's just this really positive vibe about us. I hope it lasts till all of us step down, and that we will step down with joy next year, having done well in SYF.

Back to now, I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND MY RECIPES FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP AND PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES. :S Yes, those are meant to be Teachers' Day gifts, but out of the goodness of my massive heart I want to bake for my friends and families too, so MASSIVUS BAKING PROJECT AHEAD. I hope to be able to persuade one of the folks to drive me to Simei later so I can get some cellophane and construction paper, and baking supplies. Imagine lugging bags of floor and eggs up that flight of staircase. *faints* So yeah. I think this is gonna cost more than I think, but I hope I won't have to take too long to save and pay up for it. God help me please to have zeal later even as I make and put in the oven, small-batch-after-small-batch of cookies. Let the people I give these cookies to enjoy them too please. Thank You!

Okay I'm finally getting sleepy again. The newspaper man just delivered the papers my gosh. I better go find my recipes, send out that e-mail and sleep. Quickly.

Wish me luck today: I've a whole lot of baking to do, 14 or 16 cards/notes to make/write, and homework. God grant me strength please, to do all these quickly and well.

Oh one more thought- I really long for the day when all of us girls will no longer feel inferior to another girl for what's only on the outside. It really gets to me when my friends say they wish they were prettier, or want to go for plastic surgery next time, or just plain say they don't think they're pretty. :(

Hur one LAST thing- Friends, I love you. I'm sorry if I haven't been very sensitive or understanding towards you. I hope you'll forgive me if I've been any or even both of the above.

G'morning. I need my shut eye as soon as possible. XOXO

A Letter to a Special Friend

2010-08-10T02:25:00.004+08:00

HELLO SILLY GIRL.

I highly doubt you'll see this...?

You lah. Too lazy to meet on Friday! Okok I know I should've made plans with you earlier. :P

Anyhow. Thanks for being my friend/bestie(?), since like, January/February 2006. For that blue fish you added to the virtual aquarium/pond on your (now-dead) blog for my birthday. For the uhm, knowledge that when I click on your February archives, the first thing I see, is a bright red greeting for me. For being able to make it for most of the on-the-fly meetings I call for, even if if it's for something you don't really enjoy, like shopping for prom dresses. :B For April 2009. For being such a major part of my memories in TKGS.

I'm sorry I've been too lazy to text you these past 2+ months. Or that I still haven't replied to your last letter. (I gotta go find it first, to even reply.) >< I guess our friendship's always been a little complicated, though at the end of the day, I always know that we'll always love and remember each other. (RIGHT??!? Haha.)

It's been great knowing you, my dear girl. (:

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, MUG HARD, AND KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. (Even if I take 20 years to reply to your letters.)

Love always
Deb

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! X3

2010-08-09T03:24:00.005+08:00

Happy birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy birthday to Singapore,
Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuu. (:

Again, I'm too pooped to think of original stuff to write, so I'm just gonna leave you guys with the lyrics to this year's National Day theme song.

Corrinne May
Song For Singapore

It's a brand new day a brand new story
I remembered the way it used to be
We've come so far
You're my history you're my beginning
In all I've done I've been nurtured in your arms
And you carried me this far

Chorus:
I want to sing
Sing a song for Singapore
With every generation there's more to be grateful for

So come and sing
Sing a song for Singapore
You're my brother you're my sister
I'm thankful for my Singapore
My Singapore
Singapore

Come together everybody
Fly the flag and share our story
Live our wildest dreams
Celebrate the red and white
The moon and stars in harmony unite
Let every colour every heart

Chorus:
I want to sing
Sing a song for Singapore
With every generation there's more to be grateful for

So come and sing
Sing a song for Singapore
You're my brother you're my sister
I'm thankful for my Singapore
My Singapore
Singapore

Bridge:
We've had our ups and downs
Sometimes the best things are taken for granted
You're my family you're my home

Chorus:
I want to sing
Sing a song for Singapore
With every generation there's more to be grateful for

So come and sing
Sing a song for Singapore
You're my brother you're my sister
I'm thankful for my Singapore
My Singapore
Singapore

Credits to lyricsmode.com for the lyrics! (:

Oh and I might as well put up the video.

There you go! Good morning and Happy National Day to all you Singaporeans out there. Wear your national colours, recite the pledge and sing the anthem today! I thank God for letting me be born and grow up here. :)

200th Post/Sleepy

2010-07-31T00:39:00.003+08:00

MY 200th POST IN THE 45TH MONTH THIS BLOG HAS BEEN UP! Yes, that's very little. But what to do. Busy=blog less=tweet more. Yes, I tweet everyday, so it may be worthwhile for all you Deb-stalkers/lovers out there to check out my twitter.

Anyhow. I'm actually sleepy. Not doing anything really productive online, bearing in mind that I still have my overdue: 1. CSE timeline (I think I'm gonna get a 0 for the punctuality in submission of assignments component of my PAP score sigh), 2. FIRST draft of Evaluation of Materials (EoM) for PW (some super hardworking folk have already submitted their fourth drafts; the third's due this Monday) and 3. Lit assignments to do. (Y)

Sigh homework.

I survived one week of having to stay back to 6 plus for official reasons (Choir and STAR [Structured Academic R-something]) EVERYDAY. Though admittedly I haven't been the most attentive student.

Okay fine confessions aside, this week's been okay I guess.

OHMINE. S: D:

Okay I'm too sleepy to think of what to type here already. (Blame the GP essay I did earlier for using up my essay-writing brain juice lol.)

Good night, sweethearts.

A Rising Comm(:

2010-07-18T18:19:00.005+08:00

Hey!

I'm currently trying out for the postion of Alto Section Leader (SL). It's like, Ms Ong (our choir conductor) decided all those who're interested in being part of the EXCO and/or music committee should be interviewed, and try out the positions we will like to hold for two weeks (to see if we can do and manage it). We get interviewed again at the end of the two weeks, and vote ourselves in/out. Something like that. Of course Ms Ong, the teachers-in-charge and perhaps the seniors have a role in picking out the most suitable people too also luh.

Anyway. My main point is- last Friday, when all of us potential SLs were standing in front of the choir as they sang (of course we sang too), I had this special feeling. One of hope, joy of knowing that we all are all potentially rising to fill the places our seniors will leave and unity. Okay yes power too. (:B heeh) It was awesome.

(:

See ya'll. Love.

Cheating on Blogger :S

2010-07-12T02:25:00.003+08:00

I FEEL LIKE I AM CHEATING ON BLOGGER. Because as of now, I have blogger, xanga, twitter, tumblr and livejournal. S: My initial intent was to just stay connected with friends across the different blogging platforms, but I realised it's pretty likely that people're gonna ask me to blog where ever they blog, so it's a PHAIL. To add to my contradictory state of mind, I've already posted at least one post on each of them. -.-

So, you can now read all about my wonderful life at:
blogger- look at your URL field luh.
xanga- (those posts're only for my eyes)
twitter- debzmemorymush
tumblr- purplepencils
livejournal- singingvanilla

Yaye alright happy stalking.

Oh the Spain-Holland match's taking place now. :)

Good morning! (:

Post SA1, I am a Happy Girl

2010-07-03T05:36:00.005+08:00

THE EXAMS ARE OVERRRRR! :DDD I is happier than a bird. Feels somewhat like after the Os. Oh those happy days. (Okay, except when I was trying to look for a prom dress.)

A list of my post SA1 activities-
1. Read Skylight for Tuesday's test (The questions there'll bring in Amy's View as well, gongxifacai.)
2. Prepare the lesson for Sunday cell
3. Outing with Gayathri and Wendy on Saturday
4. The church food distribution thing on Sunday
5. Fi's with the Fabs (Mare, Fi and Sa) and possibly, Zha Min on Sunday. :D
6. Alto picnic on Monday!
7. Make cards for Alto seniors (Since I super-highly doubt they read this sacred space, I can say this here.)
8. Write Gina's really-overdue letter
9. Buy Chesna's gift
10. Buy something for Iffa's birthday!
11. Upload the HUNDREDS (no exaggeration here) of photos taken over the last uh, 8 months on Facebook. *gulp*
12. Make some accessory with the leather strings bought from Prague for my school bag

Thou is a busy woman alright. Also one that's suffering from the effects of massive, one-shot photo-uploading on Facebook.

I'll do a summary of what's happened in the last 4 weeks or so since I know there's at least one person out there whom I haven't communicated with in months (S:) and is many many miles away.
31st May-3rd June: ACADEMIC WEEK. Lectures.
2nd: Plaisir De Chanson 2010, aka the TPJC Choir concert, was AWESOME. The audience loved our Tres Cantos Nativos dos Indios Krao (aka the jungle song) and our self-written musical, My Aspects of Love, responding with much surprise and laughter. :D The preparation in the run-up to the concert may have been tiring and time-consuming (practice/sectional everyday for about two weeks straight, come Sunday or public holiday), but it was also FUN, and bonded us as a Choir. The fact that both the audience and us enjoyed the performance made it really really really worth it. (:
8th-16th: CHOIR COMPETITION TRIP TO KRAKOW, POLAND! Thank you to the Family, Fiona, Marianne, Roxanne and Wally for sending me off! (: It was a fab trip with much laughter, fun, singing (seriously we sang everywhere: churches, schools, a salt mine about a hundred metres below the ground and in the coach. Oh also where ever we happened to burst out into random bouts of song.), gossip (loved those almost-nightly trips to Faidah and Nadiah's room and that -discussion- session with my roomie Vivian :D), cam-whoring and Very Short Shopping Sprees. Special shout-outs to mah dinner gang- Faidah, Nadiah, Victoria, Xue Han and Yi Ting for making every meal (with the exception of lunch at the salt mine) so memorable, funny and full of lame jokes. I really looked forward to mealtime because of you guys. ((: OH AND WE WENT THERE TO SING RIGHT. Haha. I am proud to announce, that at the International Krakow Choir festival, the TPJC Choir came in first for the Youth Choir category and tied third for Sacral Music. XD We were cheering like crazy on stage luh (okay at least some of us were, yours truly included) when we heard the results, having adopted a somewhat prepared-for-the-worst mindset prior to this. THE TROPHY IS SUPER HEAVY!! Pictures both nice and not-so-nice, glam and unglam are up on Facebook. :) (Though it doesn't contain all the pictures I'd like to have up there because I've a couple in my phone and the rest were never taken because my camera/battery was wonky. ): )
17th-27th: Attempted to study, with varying degrees of success.
18th: PW group meeting with Ann Gie, Dawn and Isaac. Deadest discussion ever, but it was quite productive. Hopped over to Mare's in an attempt to mug later because the discussion ended early.
23rd: Mugging session at Natalie's with Fiona, Nat (duh), Si Jia and Tiffany. Nat's mum cooked a fablicious lunch. :D And it was definitely great fun catching up with my fellow 4E2ers. ((:
28th June-1st July: SA1! Okay I may be happy now that it's over, but that happiness isn't going to last until I get my results.

I better go sleep now. It's gonna be difficult to prepare cell kit if I'm sleepy.

Good morning sunshine. (:

Ps: I can't wait for Choir to resume. I really love and enjoy it. To be able to sing, is a great joy and privilege. I thank God for His gift of song. (:

Crazy in June

2010-06-24T03:21:00.002+08:00

HELLO. I am posting not because I have a lot to say, but because I don't want my archives to be missing a month. :B Heeh.

I should be going off soon.

My Math book has been abandoned for an hour plus already, and I'm taking WAY TOO LONG to revise Normal Distribution (i.e. more that 1 day), so yeah.

Post again, soon, hopefully! (My SAs end next Thursday.)

Love.

In CSE Class!

2010-05-27T10:34:00.004+08:00

HELLO I AM IN MY CHINA STUDIES IN ENGLISH (CSE) CLASS NOW AND OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT BEING A GOOD GIRL AND DOING MY WORK. My excuse is that it's an online thing (Spicynodes, some website which allows you to create mindmaps), and I don't have that crazy chunk of notes with me in school today. Okay you know actually I could simply access the lecture slides on the Learning Management System (LMS), but well I refuse to. :B

Anyhow. I've been busy. Daydreaming and worrying, that is. School's crazy hectic now, with deadlines for homework that will be counted in our clas participation scores (which WILL be counted for promotion) drawing near, and of course, CHOIRCHOIRCHOIR. The concert and trip to Poland!! Ahhh. Today's there's gonna be second-half (i.e. Musical) practice from 5-8. Prior to that, I've lessons till 5 (Thursday's timetable is nothing short of awesome), some academic/motivational (?) talk for my dismal term 1 grades at 5, and to top it off, I actually have a ticket to the MJC band concert today, and like most (like perhaps 99.9%) of concerts, it begins at 7.30. So I was planning to leave Choir earlier at 7 to make my way down. I'll be late for the concert yes, but I'll be late for a crucial practice too. S:

Anyhow. I GOT MY H1N1 JAB YESTERDAY! Didn't hurt too much, thankfully, seeing as to how I am terrified (okay maybe after yesterday's experience less so) of needles, having cried watching a blood-donation process and at my last vaccination in Primary 6. (Yes, I'm quite a cry-baby.) I was of course, told about the possible side effects of the jab, but I think the doctor missed one thing out- uncontrollable laughter. Seriously, after the jab, I was laughing for no reason with Fai dearest for like about two minutes! So funny harharhar. Yours truly was hoping to come down with a fever last night, conveniently forgetting to take her Panadol, and hence skipping school today. Fortunately/unfortunately, I'm so healthy, I feel perfectly fine. Hitting my left arm doesn't make me scream or anything. (But don't you try, I'll box you. You've been warned.) The doctor who gave administered the jab was really good haha. Nice guy. (: Told me he'd pinch me so it wouldn't matter if I tensed up or not. And it worked! Yaye.

Back to NAO, I just found out that I have to submit TWO CSE essays by the third! *Dances around madly* That's the day after the concert luh. S: Okay but you know honestly, Academic Week next week doesn't have too bad a timetable. I only have to come in for an hour at 12 on Monday, and I'm off for Friday! Well, except for Choir practice of course. That's. Expected.

Well well. I gotta go! Have a lot to do in the coming weeks. Actually, it's been that way ever since I started JC, no? BUT NOW, IT'S WORSE! Okay whatever shut up Deborah.

To the Meridian Band folk, especially Nat, Arra and Thahira- All the best for later! :D Don't get too stressd alright, I know you guys can do it! (Although you most probably won't see this in time.)

Andand. Thank you so so much to Fi, Mare, Sa, Nat, Tiff, Angie, Aaron, Emmy, and Si Jia for your supporting me at the concert in advance k! I'll do my best together with my fellow choristers to put up a good show for you guys alright!

Love/Ai.

Blog-Hopping in the Wee Hours

2010-05-20T01:53:00.004+08:00

My laziness (and lack of knowledge of what went on on Tuesay during PW) has led me to my abandoning GPP for tonight. :S

I've been reading the blogs of my TKGS friends these few days (we're talking 2 months worth of posts here), and a common sentiment expressed is how freaking tiring JC is. At least I know I'm know I'm not alone in the way I feel, but really, the way I'm dealing with it is scary. Waiting till 11+ every night to chiong homework, or thinking it's not too late to sleep at 2 plus in the morning is NOT GOOD AT ALL. I'm tired, at least unconciously. But I'm still up reading blogs. Despite the school day that's gonna unfold in six hours being about 12 hours long, with lessons till 5, Class PE (the more tiring of the 2 PE lessons in the week) and Choir till 7. Nonetheless, it's been great catching up with the lives of Sa, Mare, Fi, Sha, Pam, Thahira/Tyra and Si Jia, outdated as many posts may be.

Oh and you know I somewhat only discovered Thahira's and Si Jia's blog just now. -.- It was, I don't know, indescribable reading something familiar, written in their respective trademark styles. (: I MISSED YOU, SI JIA AND THAHIRA!

Okay I better go find the sounds for the (concert) musical soon. Since it's been due since Monday. :S

OH BY THE WAY.

TPJC CHOIR CONCERT
2nd June 2010, Wednesday
7.30pm at Victoria Concert Hall
$12; free-seating
We'll be performing songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Aspects of Love, but with our original script! :D In this concert, yours truly will definitely be singing a lot, dancing some, and acting a wee bit. :D Please tell me asap should you be interested alright!

Okie dopes I better go. Good morning world. (:

Free(d) For A Day

2010-05-19T01:47:00.005+08:00

I went back to TKGS yesterday, seeing as to how it was a free day for me, to collect my SGC and school magazine, as well as catch up and have lunch with Gina. Talked to Mrs Sew ("Study hard!") and Mrs Liew ("The only difference between H1 and H2 Chem is SPA!") too.

2010-03-20T17:39:00.004+08:00

HELLO I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN LIKE, A MONTH?!

Have been busy, as you can probably guess. Hence the lack of going online.

Glad for this week of the March hols. :) Camp Empower held from the 11th to 13th of March was awesome thanks to my very pro, sexy A06ies, CFs (Charles, Nicholas and Sheryl) and CT (Ms Yeo). :D Love you guys like, to the max. :) Had fun at the barbeque at Phyllis's last Saturday too. (To celebrate some guys' birthdays and Kylene's farewell.) This week, I met up with Gayathri, the Fab 4, Jia Min, some people from 4E2 2009 and cohortmates (Iffa's barbeque yesterday! (: ) and it was gooooood. :D Holding on to these people re-connects me to my past lah, and I really need that to help keep my memories of what life was like then, since I'm usually very, very caught up in the present. Love you all, it was great catching up. :)

On a more serious note, I've quite a fair bit of holiday homework to do (don't even talk about mugging), so I better take my leave.

You may find it worthwhile to follow me on Twitter, by the way- I'm debzmemorymush.

Ohoh and thanks for everything you guys did for me on my birthday! The gifts, celebrations, songs, surprise, email, letters, cards, dates, wishes and all. (Mrs Lee I remember you; thanks for the email!!) Love you all.

Okay lah I better go. My apologies for the crappy blog post. :P

Bye, xoxoxo.

HAPPY LNY & VALENTINE'S DAY!

2010-02-14T02:38:00.007+08:00

XIN NIAN KUAI LE, WAN SHU RU YI, SHEN TI JIAN KANG, XUE YE JIN BU, BU BU GAO SHENG! :D

Happy Valentine's Day! Hearts.

Wishing you all a wonderful lunar new year ahead, nevermind the fact that you have/do not have a valentine. :)

I've been online since... Perhaps about 3 or 4pm yesterday. GASP. I hope I'm not turning into a geek!! :S (But of course, I had dinner, went to the toilet and blahblahblah in between lah). I'm actually kinda bored online, but I stay on, for some weird reason.

Anyhow. I've been on a roller-coaster (with mild dips and rises) ride, feelings-wise these past few hours. It's the whole I'm-happy-in-school-now-but-I-wonder-what-life'd-be-like-if-I-could see-the-Fab 4/Zoo-around-in-school-everyday thing, I guess? (I went a bit ~~ typing all those hyphens -.-) I laughed so hard at the Epic Success of a Teachers' Day Video we made last year and remember why 4E2 was (and is) so awesome, read blogs of the AC/MJ/NY/SR people and feel a little tinge of sadness, yet am very excited and occupied checking out the profiles of my new schoolmates on Facebook.

Okay I just hope you understand what I mean, because that doesn't seem very coherent to me.

Friday's outing with the Fab 4 was awesome. :) So glad to have been able to catch up with Fi, Mare and Sa. Met at Marina Square, lunched at Just Acia, cam-whored for a bit at the Esplanade Rooftop, met Louise Lim and Amirah at the Esplanade, walked around, failed to watch Valentine's Day, went to Macs to talk. It was somewhat like the last day of the Os, when we were prom dress shopping. (Oh and sorry Fi- I felt bad when you left on your own. :S)

OPPORTUNITY COST of that- (gasp Econs!!) Missing out on an outing with Wendy and Gayathri + A visit to Mrs Sew's with the half of the Zoo not in the Fab 4 plus Tiff and Si Jia (heard the host was mighty sweet with a nice house to boot!). Okay I don't care if opportunity cost means the NEXT BEST OPTION THAT HAD TO BE GIVEN UP, because those two are tied. (Hmmm my brain's actually processing Econs!)

Oh and to make your life easier (cough) I'll put up my wishlist. Soon. :B

Good morning; Deb loves you.

Making Friends

2010-02-06T01:45:00.002+08:00

The cool air outside smells funny. A wee bit like it's gonna rain.

Oh I've no idea.

I've come to realise, that maybe, just maybe, more people know me than I know them. No I am NOT saying I'm popular or whatever, I'm simply alarmed at my apparent blurness, because yesterday in school while talking to some fellow-ex-TKGians, I'd to ask for their names. And if I don't remember wrongly, they all knew my name. Oops. Hahahahaha.

Lunch in school was spent with Audre (I don't know how to do that little sign on top of the 'e') and Faidah, gossiping away. Funny how I only get to know some people better after graduation eh. I mean. I've seen Faidah in class for the past 4 years!

I didn't get through the Rockclimbing try-outs (D:), so I guess it's another 2 years of Choir for me, and the seventh straight year at that. Unless I decide on ODAC. Oh and I met Tricia, my classmate in P1 from PLMGPS at the try-outs! I saw her there, thought she looked familiar, stared at her (I do that to anyone who looks familiar haha), heard her name was Tricia, asked which Primary School she was from... And when she found out who I was she was like "AHHH!" and hugged me. So funny lah. :D Being in TPJC has given me a chance to stare down (and talk to some) familiar-looking people from SHPS and TKGS too- people like Rachel, Emily... Yeah! It's cool. :)

In a new school with no close friends from TKGS, I've been forced to be more sociable, remember new names, make new friends. It's been quite pleasant, and I do feel I'm more sociable now so yaye. :) Oh and I met my CG yesterday for the first time!! They all seem like a nice bunch of people, and I'm really glad that's the case. 21 of us, but there're only 5 guys. The J1 camp sounds exciting; there may be an entire day of activities held at Sentosa! :D

Ahh it's awesome to be able to stay up late legally, seeing as to how I've no CM training later on in the morning. :)

That list about things I miss in TKGS will have to wait. I'm currently downstairs and am too lazy to go up to get the attribute list I prepared for what was meant to be Long Sappy Graduation Letters (LSGLs) which I never got down to writing due to sheer laziness. I'll put it up on Facebook too.

Oh and.

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO PUTRI, YIM QI AND MRS SEW! Y'all have a wonderful year ahead, and God bless! ^^

I'm sleepy. Pray I get the lesson on Fellowship prepared before I next come back online!

Sweet dreams, lovelies.

10A06 FTW!

2010-02-05T01:03:00.003+08:00

I needa go sleep soon... So the list I wanted to put up here on Things I'll Miss About TKGS here will have to wait.

Check back when you can, I know it must give you an immense sense of pride and joy to see your name listed here haha. :D

In other news, I'm now in 10A06, ftw. (Yes Si Jia, I KNOW what it means, and it's no longer headache-inducing:D Same to you, Farah Nabilah! HAHAHAHAHA.) Yepyep, it's time for code-like ~~class~~ Civic Group names because I'm in JC. My gosh.

These two years, I'm gonna make friends with 5 Literature texts, stacks of Economics and China Studies in English notes, (something like) A Math and my new $140 (and not $120 as previously mentioned), intimidating-looking graphing calculator, and oh, people too, of course. I'm gonna befriend the last on the list first, cause the order does NOT indicate the level of importance. :D HAHAHAHAHA. But of course, I'm determined not to mess up the A Levels/the third major exam in my life, because really, twice is more than enough. AND I WANT TO GO TO NUS TO READ SOCIOLOGY/PSYCHOLGY/WHATEVER. Yaye.

Rockclimbing try-outs later. :) Wish me luck!

To my new CG mates, HELLO!, and I hope we'll all have an awesome two years together. :D And to my OG2 mates, it's been a pleasure interacting with you guys this past week, hope we'll all continue this way yeah! :)

Night dear ones.

Ps- Show some appreciation, and check out the updated sidebar. <-- Thankyoudeblovesyou!

I'm a TPJCian

2010-02-03T21:24:00.004+08:00

Hi everyone, I'm in Tampines Junior College and will remain here for the next two years.

Wasn't accepted by Meridian and Nanyang, the first having been my dream/targeted school for about two years.

Well I'll accept this eventually. And know I'll learn to love my school sometime possibly pretty soon because I always end up liking whichever school I'm in. There's a J1 camp at the end of the term, and I know that once I get over my crappy mood, I'll be psyched up for it. First time in five years I'll be camping in school, and that's kinda part of our orientation programme (which ended last Friday), so yaye.

OG breakfast was okay!. Turnout at 20 (there're about 25 of us who have remained) is pretty impressive, don't you think. :) Zann and I hopped over to Sherene's table when we realized the 10 guys at our table were all watching soccer haha. The assorted (haha I make it sound like some box of biscuits) talks and tai chi session held during PE today were hilarious. Happily went to sign up to volunteer for YOG, and got an application form for NYAA too. Went for recess, and got a blueberry bliss ice-blended drink, which was a very pretty shade of lavender. I took a picture of it, but the colour didn't quite come out. S: Econs lecture thereafter. The lecturer went so fast! Oh and I've gotten my first piece of homework. :S Briefing, then lunch with Sin Hang and her friend Audrey. CCA fair! Put my name down for Choir, Rockclimbing and Canoeing. (I don't think I'll try out for canoeing; was persuaded into signing up somewhat haha) The later part of the CCA fair was face-achingly funny. :D Shall not go into details though.

You know what. God put me in TPJ for a reason. I'm quite sure it's His will, and I know it's up to me to make the best of my (hopefully just) two years here, so God help me please, to shine like I should for You, and be happy with where I am.

See y'all at CNY.

The 4th Day of JC

2010-02-02T23:51:00.003+08:00

Cheese my New Post page is a little out of alignment. : /

Anyhow, hi world.

I am still waiting for my appeal results. Kinda losing hope with one though. The other, I hope they'll get back to me as soon as possible! Don't like, really make me wait till Friday 5pm please. My poor heart can take the suspense no more. :(

I got two calls during the Theatre Studies and Drama (no I'm not doing that subject; just sat in cause I'd nothing to do and was curious about it) lecture today from a landline. Had to excuse myself, because like, what if it was XJC??? I called back a few times, but the number was busy. So I went back to the lecture. And called again when I was done. Guess who it was- the job agancy I was at during the hols. I felt kinda embarrassed can. Like, so excited for nothing. Haha.

Today, after school, I got home, daydreamt (haha is there such a word??), fell asleep. Duh. And when I woke up (but kept my eyes closed), the first thing that popped into my head and ALL I could think of was that appeal to X. That magical call. Seriously. You know if I could focus with such intensity on mugging last year, I wouldn't have to go through all this because I know more or less I'd have done well enough to get to X via DSA/JAE. Talk about bad timing man. -.- I eventually had to do MATH (yes seriously; it's a worksheet from last year by Ms S on Mensuration and Trigonometry) to get my mind off it. Geez.

A little more about thy school day- I had my first H1 Math lecture today. Just an introductory one, telling us about the stuff that's gonna be covered in the coming months. Found out that we have to buy a very expensive calculator too. You know, it's quite a shock to find out that it's gonna cost a HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS when initially I thought it'd be like, around 25 bucks?? The Math lecturer seems pretty nice. :) Kinda soft-spoken too. We were done with the lecture after about a mere half an hour.

YAYE OG (Orientation Group) BREAKFAST AT TAMPINES MART MACS TOMORROW! :D Since there'll be "lesser chance to meet up in the future when everyone splits into your respective cg" (I quote my OGLeader Marietta), and school starts at 0830 tomorrow.

Oh and I'm from OG2, by the way. Haha.

(You can guess where I currently am schooling now lah huh.)

A special shout-out to everyone I've been talking to these few days- Sam, Eunice, Joelynn, Felicia, Tze Jie, Sherene, Yun Zhen, Si Ying, Zann, Nasyitah, Sin Hang, Aik Teck, Rachel and Tulica. (sp!) :D

Okay I gotta go before my eye circles get darker, I miss the ride out tomorrow/have no energy for PE and CCA fair/Mum kills me.

Night!

Officially a J1!

2010-02-01T00:30:00.003+08:00

HEY! I gotta make this super quick.

Yes, school's started.

Won't state where I am until I know the results of my appeal though. I'll know by Wednesday 5pm. :)

I must say that I'm settling in okay as of the second day (29th January), and that I won't mind staying on if _JC doesn't want me. :)

And to those who tagged- Thanks again. That was a rather emo post cause I had to get it off my chest, but rest assured, I'm feeling better now. :)

Day 3 of JC life starts tomorrow; better go!

Love lots.

P/s: Ohmygosh it's already February. !

Yaye For Twitter!

2010-01-27T02:55:00.002+08:00

Oh and. I'm on twitter. Email/catch me on MSN if you'd like to follow me.

Twitter's like the little sister to this blog. :)

The Scribe Moving On (Perhaps a little unwillingly)

2010-01-27T02:50:00.001+08:00

Oh and. Check out the 'scribe' part on the left hand side. I made a bit of changes to it, haha.

Grades.

2010-01-27T02:05:00.002+08:00

Hey. I shall ATTEMPT not to post about what I've been up to, for once.

I'll try and do reflective, something I've wanted to do for quite a while already.

I'm currently waiting for that SMS. It's so stupid lah, having to tell people I know I'm not gonna get into my first 2 choices (the first being my dream school for 1 year plus at least, the second, where I thought I'd be going right after I got my results), but the furthest option I'll get is the fourth. So I tell them, I'm gonna appeal to the first choice. (Duh.) Why oh why do I always seem to set myself up for disappointment?? It's this stupid thing called lack of will. Cheesecakes and strawberries. If you ask me, no, I haven't gotten over my results, although I can definitely say I wasn't expecting a miracle to begin with. That your prelim score is twice that of your O level score isn't true. For me, at least.

Eek this is so emo.

Eek eek eek. :(

I'm trying to cheer myself up with Bon Jovi's It's My Life, as Aysehah suggested.

I remember how I originally wanted to go to AHS, but had to abandon the plan after I got my PSLE results. After 4 years in TKGS though, I'm really glad I got the T-score that I got. A few points more, and I'd have missed out on all the wonderful experiences I had at TKGS. (Of course, that's not to say TKGS isn't awesome academically or anything.)

I hope I'll have a good 2 years in JC, just like I did in TK. I've heard horror stories about JC in general, so perhaps it won't happen, but I guess I'll do best to simply leave it in God's hands; commit these two years to Him.

It'd be nice you know, if I could do TKGS proud by actually doing well for the Os. I honestly felt (and perhaps still do) that I was such a disgrace. I mean, TK's given me so much, that's just one of the things I should do to show some sincere gratitude. I complained about TK endlessly (and even now, after I've graduated), but it can be likened to how... Aiyah I don't know lah. Just know that with Deborah, something's not terrible if I complain endlessly about it. Really.

I want to continue, but I think I better go. Have an appeal audition at the first choice JC tomorrow with the main conductor, and definitely cannot afford to screw it up.

You know, I somehow had this feeling that perhaps by some miracle, I'll get into the first choice without appealing, but apparently, it ain't the case. (Don't ask me to explain.)

To everyone (and me!), I hope you wake up to some awesome news later. And that you'll have an awesome 2 or 3 years ahead of you in school. Even if it ain't what you really want at this point in time.

Good ~~night~~ morning.

Busy in January

2010-01-25T01:18:00.004+08:00

HIIIIIIIIII. I've had a most busy January so far, as you can (kinda) tell from the lack of updates. Have been going out an insane number of times. I've had a lot of fun during the many outings, the superawesome class chalet and yesterday's really funnnnn ice-skating thing with COOL, my new and fabulous cell. :)

JANUARY THUS FAR (what I can remember offhand)-
3rd: First Service and Cell meeting as a CM

10th: Visit to Uncle CK's/Auntie HD's/Russel's for farewell party. Went over to Min Jie's too. :)

12th: Visited the NYJC and NJC open houses with Mare and Fiona.
13th: Attended the MJC open house with Wendy, her Mum and Gayathri. Met a whole lot of TKGS and SHPS people there! Rushed off for waitressing at Mandarin Oriental, where I (willingly) worked till 0130 the next day and unfortunately, got the folks super worried in the process. :S I like putting on the chair covers there. Seriously.
14th: Choir appeal audition at Nanyang! I had to sing really high and really low. Went out with Jia Min and Brenda thereafter. Chinatown for lunch and bead shopping (for the two seniors), then Orchard to collect my pay for yesterday. Went on ALL the MRT lines that day.
15th: Off to Mandarin Oriental for waitressing again.
16th: Went back to school for CCA Promotion, attended CM training, met Iffa for the job application thing, collected pay, went home, went out again for (regional) CM cell.
17th: Cell breakfast at Long John Silver's in Tiong Bahru Plaza! Mare came over after Church to practice her song for the ACJC audition and talk. :)
18th-19th: Sleepover at Fi's with Mare, Sa and (duh) Fi! Went to Fi's, had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market in White Sands (saw someone there:D ), went crazy over coloured rubber bands and bought some for school, walked around, went to Mare's, had a very entertaining dinner, played truth or dare on Mare's phone, watched many movies, headed to ACJC for Mare's audition, went to Frolick at Tampines 1 to get a massive cup of yogurt with 3 toppings, walked around Tampines Mall, looked at TYS answers for last year's papers (Mare's idea), met Pei Hsin, talked to her, and went home. Had fun. :)
20th: Visited Gina, walked around, talked a lot, got treated to dinner at Macs. :)
21st: Outing with SHPS pals Germaine and Elizabeth. Walked around in the Tampines Malls, had lunch at Pasir Ris, bowled at E!hub, played at the Pasir Ris Park playground (they changed the spider web. The ropes are pretty colouful now), went to White Sands to get Germaine's dinner.
22nd: Did waitressing at Fullerton.
23rd: CM training. Went down to Orchard to collect my pay and buy a couple of things. Walked from Ion to Tanglin Mall because I couldn't find the bus stop. :S Infuriating, but I guess, stupid too. Met Janice and Gabby at the bus stop. :D Returned to Church, had lunch, planned cell for the 24th, copied Phyllis's notes and went for CM cell.
24th: Taught for the first time as a CM! With backing up from (co-CM) Aaron and input from Jeannie. Thanks a lot, you guys. :) Had an AWESOME outing lunching at Aston's and ice-skating at Kallang. Thank you to everyone (Aaron, Chloe, Charis, Eugene, Emmy, Gabriel, Ken and Kelvin) for your company and teaching (my first time ice-skating, see!) k! I love you all. (:

See you all sometime soon.

Love.

Combined Leaders' Retreat 2009

2010-01-02T16:37:00.002+08:00

Combined Leaders' Retreat (CLR) was good! (: Finally felt a sense of belonging in R-AGE.

After the engaging (seriously, it was) CM training and some pretty fun games on the 31st, dinner was with all the nice -seniors- and one Pastor even. Talked to (new friend) Jessica and (not-so-new friend) Su Hui Jie thorughout the entire 45-minute journey (we WALKED) to G2 thereafter for Watchnight Service. (Grace 2; it's a -branch- of Grace AOG) Really pleasant, the whole walk. :D Watchnight was Awesome, the first time I stayed for the entire service the six years I've been in Grace. Really fun, what with the cheer for Pastor Ronald, highing, wishing and all. (Although I couldn't remember practically the whole cheer despite being briefed twice about it.) Travelled back to the Salvation Army Campus in Bukit Timah where we were staying. Bathed, watched people play some card game (Gin) and played one round. I didn't fare too badly in that round, thanks to Adora. :) Went to bed at 3.

Next day, I was sleepy during worship and devotion (lack of sleep). Workplan was somewhat exciting. I'll not be going back to P.O.G as I originally hoped, but I'll be going to COOL. (I've no idea if the whole thing is supposed to be in caps) I'll be CM-ing with this dude called Aaron (who's CMing COOL for the second year running). I already know all 4 girls in my cell. :) The other 7 or so guys... Well I'll get to know them in due time. Lunch was a regional affair, with plans for tomorrow being made. Teambuilding and a session on worship-leading next. Technical, with time to practice and reinforce. Dinner was fun with Kristine, Agnes and Stella, all of whom were froom COOL. Worship and prayer followed. Then, supper! Hahaha. Went to Railway Mall with the 5 abovementioned COOL people; was a blast! Had fishball noodles, talked, laughed and bullied. :B Stella was like totally high walking back lah. Played Articulate! with quite a big bunch of people (Joong Yan, Leng Shan, Joel, Adora, Bryson, Samuel, Nicole, Iman and Tiffany) after that. Funnnnnnnnnn. :D Retired at 3+.

TODAY, I got up late despite being woken up 3 times by Gabby and Agnes, so I missed breakfast and went straight for worship and devotion by Michael. -Debrief- later by Pastor Cui Xian, quite uh, intersting. :D Packed up, made by longgggg way home. (21 train stops k!)

Random reflections:
1. I'm somehow am not that afraid of being a CM now. Yaye.
2. I thank God for the great time I had there, all the people who talked to me, invited me to play games with them, basically made me feel welcome.
3. I gotta have more faith.

Yaye.

Hee Hee

2009-12-31T02:20:00.003+08:00

HAHAHAHAHA I'M BACK.

Why, you ask? To complain that it's 2 plus in the morning. Okay I know that doesn't really make sense. 2 plus in the morning = most sane people are already sleeping = Can't expect to get (SMS) replies about the possible CM (CM = Cell Mentor, a new role I'll have to play next year which requires that yours truly teaches God's Word to a bunch of kids/upper secondary people) training tomorrow from Pastor Cui Xian, can't get Gina's blog address and visit before I leave for the Retreat, can't get the password to read Elsa's blog.

I know I know, how can I blame the time right. It is I after all, that has a tendency to come online in the wee hours of the morning. -.-

Gah. I just need a space to rant lah.

That's what this blog is for, right? :)

The likely last post of 2009

2009-12-31T00:09:00.004+08:00

HELLO!

To all who've been looking out for updates here, I apologise for the uh, agonising wait. Haha yeah. You won't believe how packed the holidays have been for me so far. This December, I've gone out a few times, worked thrice (as a waitress at 2 locations), visited 2 friends, attended the service of another Church (Open Hand Fellowship [OHF]), attended Rhema Conference (the annual youth conference my Church holds), slept over at 4 cousins' houses (although there were only two sleepovers), caroled twice with the TKGS choir (there're videos on Facebook if you're inerested) and once with OHF, had a family Christmas gathering, went for a P.O.G and Footsteps outing (P.O.G being my cell and Footsteps, our brother cell of sorts), hosted an appreciation dinner for 11 school friends (if you're reading this it's likely you were there but didn't know I really meant it as an appreciation dinner for being such awesome pals to me this year hahaha), as well as hosted a sleepover. So I apologise for the irregular tweets (I'm debzmemorymush; go follow me!), not dropping by your blogs, not replying to you on Facebook and not uploading the ten zillion photos I owe you all (last time I tried to upload the prom pictures on Facebook, my internet refused to co-operate). So... See how lah. I'm gonna be in a Combined Leaders' Retreat thing (Church event) later today, so I'm blogging before my blog ends up with another missing month in the archives.

To all who turned up at my wah-biang-must-walk-so-far-in place on Monday, I thank you for your presence and helping out (with desert preparation, dinner prep and cleaning up). I know I said in the SMS that I'd be cooking, but I tell you now, that my whole family helped out quite a lot prior to that too, so yah. I apologise to those who had to offer -free labour- (in the words of my Mum) prior to dinner, because y'all are the guests lah. :S I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP AND SACRIFICES K! (((((: Also, my apologies if I couldn't talk much to you on Monday cause I was running in and out doing stuff. I most certainly hope though, that you had a fantabulous time, because I certainly did. :D

Okay lah. In case I don't blog till 2010 rolls in, I'm gonna wish you a very very happy new year. God bless you all richly in 2010, and I love you all! Thanks for following me here all this year and tagging.

XOXOXO

2-Day Review + Quiz

2009-11-24T22:21:00.002+08:00

Helloooooooooo.

I've a got a sore throat creeping up on me. Nasty. :(

'Hope Dad will let me go sign up with that job agency Dorcas and friends are with. He's coming back tomorrow, and Mum says she'll talk to him about it. I'm hoping he'll change his perception and mind. Cause I'm really desperate for a job, seeing as to how difficult it is for me to find a temporary, part-time job. I guess I'm pretty picky in not wanting to be a tele-marketer or flyer distributor or whatever..? Initially I wanted to work at Ben & Jerry's. (And no, not for free ice cream.) Then I thought maybe Ikea'd be nice. So I checked out the Ikea website, and realised the positions I could apply for were for the Alexandra store. :( So, WHATEVER, I pray the folks will give the green light soon, so I can go do waitressing at some hotel and earn some moolah. I hope to earn $300, but in reality I'm gonna have to try and work for $450 so I've about a $100 to spend on myself. Ayeaye.

Went for Choir yesterday. But I didn't practice the carols with the juniors. -.- Ended up talking to Yu Han and Sheryl instead, cause they weren't there for carolling. Found out from Ms Tong that our -reward- for carolling with the choir was CHOIR HOODIES!! :D A bit late well yes, but better late than never! (As far as I remember, nobody's ever seen me with a jacket/sweater/hoodie over my pinafore; this year, I told myself I'd hold out against hail and rain while in school, until I got a Choir hoodie.) Mare, Fi and I later went to Gershwin to do a lil' bit of warm-ups, sing random choir songs, and cam-whore. Met Mrs Sew at the bus stop when I left! So I took the bus with her, chatting all the way till she got off. :) Met Dorcas and her friends later at Orchard Road. Spent the afternoon walking around the 2 (different) Far East buildings, Ion and Wisma Atria. Saw like 7 (!!) people from school and church during that process, most of whom didn't see me. Thank you Dorcas, Beverly, Hillary, Geraldine and Rachel for your company and food. (:

2009-11-20T00:59:00.001+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE I KNOW YOU MISSED ME LIKE TONZXS.

In other news, the evil Os are like, over. I'm more free, and happier than a bird. A summary of the past few days:

Friday- Chem paper 1 was okay. Didn't shoot through the roof from happiness though. (That was the last paper, see.) Proceeded to the hall for the briefing. Got a heart attack about 20 times there, becuase people were screaming here, there and everywhere. Even during the briefing itself, the teacher-in-charge made me jump outta my skin a few times. Canteen for post-exam muffins that my mummy bought for the gang thereafter. Went home, went out again. Met Fi, Sa, Mare and Nat at Citylink Mall for day 1 of prom dress shopping. Failed. Only prom-related thing I bought was powder. (Which, till now, hasn't been used. -.-) Walked around, hopped over to Suntec, met Sa's sis (Edna), went to Macs. Dinner at grandma's.

Saturday- Went to the ACS carnival with Jia Min, Mare and Sa. Quite fun lah catching up with Zha Min. :D (She loves us, I know.) The little boys walking around selling things were super cute!! Proceeded to Far East for day 2 of prom dress shopping. Mare found her dress there! I found a nice-white-satin-knee length-one strap dress which made me look like a pixie there too. But I couldn't bargain about the price, so mum didn't let me get it. ): Left Far East, walked Jia Min to Church, went to This Faishon at Singpost (I was emo-ing about not being able to get the white dress, see.) Got home at 7++ or 8. Dinner. Went to the Robinsons Expo Sale with mum. Got a dress for new year (A floral print tube! Haha.) and some other stuff.

Sunday- Attended cell and service for the first time in 3 weeks! Cell was breakfast at Tanglin Macs. Lunch at Tanjong Pagar. PEANUT ICE KACHANG! Yummy. Met Gina at Parkway later for day 3 of prom dress shopping. Tried on like 7 dresses at Isetan. :O (The sales assistant passed me 4 more when I'd already taken 3 to the dressing room, see.) Bussed over to Tampines. Continued the search at Tampines 1 and Tampines Mall. Left Tampines eventually with just a copy of Seventeen. -.-

Monday- Far East with Dorcas for day (freakin') 4 of prom dress shopping. Gave up looking for a dress at 2++ (finally) and went looking for accessories. Beverly, Dorcas's friend joined us soon after. Went to Far East Shopping Centre so they could collect their pay. Almost applied for a job. Walked around at Ion Orchard and Far East Plaza, and got my not-very-high-heeled-sandals (on discount at $19.90 from New Look; I tell you I was sooooo happy can), stack of bangles and dangly earrings. Headed to Dorcas's thereafter to get my nails done by her. :D (THANK YOU DORCAS!) Got home at 10++. Missed Auntie Mag's visit though. She left shortly before I came back.

Tuesday- PROM!! Was a little panicky in the morning cause the very awesome me only called my usual hairdresser at 10+ and found out she couldn't cut and do my hair cause she was about to leave town. So thank goodness for the salon at Roxy Square. My hair got the most major layering ever plus straightened there for a really affordable $12! ^^ Went to Wendy's place later to get my make-up done by her mum's friend; thank you anuntie Cynthia! (: Stoned at Wendy's for quite a bit before dad drove the both of us to Marina Mandarin, where the prom was held. (Oh by the way in case you're wondering what I wore there, it was a dark purple dress borrowed from my mum's colleague's daughter. Yes, and I tried on close to 20 dresses prior to that, only to end up wearing something that'd been hanging on my cupboard for a week already. -.-)
Prom was 99.999% awesome, from the way everyone looked (thank God all I needed to do was to stare a little harder at some people to realise who they were instead of their identities being shrouded in a cloud of mystery the entire night), the very funny MC, swift-moving programme, company of friends, energy, enthusiasm, variety of food, dancing (more like jumping on the stage and scream-singing the songs for me but whatever, I enjoyed myself)... Yeah you get it. It was certainly interesting noting how different most people looked. Pinafores and tied-up hair disguise a lot of things, I tell you. Pictures'll be up on Facebook soon, if it decides to co-operate. (Heh maybe it senses my apprehension cause I look weird in the vast majority of the pictures taken that night.) Oh and if you're wondering why prom was 0.001% not-so-nice, ask me, I'm not about to say it here haha. Shout-outs to everyone- teachers (Mrs D Ang and gang), friends, the folks and all those who helped me out in prom prep in one way or another: I LOVE YOU ALL. Enjoyed myself thoroughly, from the start to the end of the whole event, and that's really something, cause that hasn't happened, ever/in a long, long time. :)

Wednesday- Woke up with Prom Withdrawal Symptoms (PWS), because for the first time in 4 days, I didn't have to go out shopping or preparing for prom in some other way. Finally began planning my Long Sappy Graduation Letters (LSGL) with the Attribute List.

Thursday- Spent most of my time online and making amends for that later. (Mum came home and was really really pissed that the rice hadn't been cooked and the lettuce, plucked.) So the brothers and I prepared almost the entire dinner, I washed up (my duty today) and did some laundry later with Dan.
TODAY- I'll be going for Choir. Yes, Choir, cause I'm gonna be carolling with the (TKGS) choir come 12th and 20th December at Century Square. I came online again cause I forgot to print out the 2 scores Ms Tong sent us, but well obviously I've done more than that... Anyhow. I hope I can go to the library later! Part of my Post-Os-to-do list, see. Then I can pass Wendy the book she's been asking from me since last year, ahahaha.

K lah I end here.

XOXOXOXOXO and a chocolate (HAHA kidding) if you've survived this blog post!

Deb loves you. (:

For Septemberrrrr

2009-09-10T17:20:00.002+08:00

I don't know/can't remember if it's my doing, but the blogger interface colours are now dark blue with beige tabs. So weird.

Anyhow.

IT'S THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS! And I is not going to school at all this week, because I'm too lazy to, and I'm not sure what time the school closes this week, and I'm too scared to call the GO and check it out. Well, not that I have very many days left to go to school this week now anyway. HAHA.

I know I'm not talking sense.

Blame it on the prelims. Or if you want to look at it more sensibly, my lack of preparation for it. I've been studying everyday this week (yaye) but not enough (boo). Thank God there's no homework this hols, or I can just forget about studying altogether. I haven't touched History, read + copied + made notes for 4 acts in AMND and started reading Chem (though I've done about 65% of the TYS this term; still I want Mrs Liew's brownies.) *Inserts Clara's chant here* Best part is, the countdown on my wall (the one in my room that's right in front of the study table, HAS CEASED TO SCARE ME. I just change the post-it numbers every one or two days, but the whole significance of the thing has been lost on me. AHHHHHHHHHH. Neigh. It used to be, that at the start of the term, 100++ days'd be scary. Now at 45 days, nah. Like, why.

Okay I apologise for my incessant ranting about the Os.

In other news SI's exciting. Yesterday's results were kinda surprising (I thought Ben'd make it) but that's life for you. Not like I even voted lah actually. Lol.

The Likely Sole Post of August

2009-08-15T21:23:00.003+08:00

I'M BACK! And I'm sure you missed my lack of a online presence.

July was okay I guess. Had a most awesome outing with Mrs Lee on the 22nd. :D Ate, talked, -gossiped-, reminisced, laughed, got counselled, had a good time basically. Thank you much much Mrs Lee. <3

I am trying to stay offline as much as possible, seeing as to how I have an amazing tendency to stay online for 4-5 hours or perhaps even longer most times I get on. Absolutely detrimental, don't you think. Especially when your prelims start in 6 days and the big O's in... 86 days. That's scary, in my hardly-touched-Bio shoes.

National Day Celebrations in school were way better than I thought they would be, cam-whoring, getting high and all. We didn't have to be forced to have a party eventually. Well not surprising right.

And I heart heart heart the National Day Parade. I thought it was awesome. I was tearing when Kevin and Gayle sang; the song was just so sweet. And I'll answer the million dollar question- yes, I took part in the pledge moment thingy. Plus sang the national anthem too! I love Singapore, really, and I'm thankful I was born here. :)

Graduation Day's drawing near, and lately I've been thinking about it everday. I may complain a lottttt about school, but I know deep down I love TKGS. It's the people, the culture that make it what it is. No prizes for guessing who's gonna be a waterfall on 2 October.

Ooh and thankyouverymuch to everyone who's nagging/encouraging/helping/keeping track of me in mugging. Even Mr Law (my tuition teacher's husband) has started nagging at me now, HAHAHA. :)

Okay I'm done. This's a really sappy post I know, but you gotta be thankful for what you have, no?

Better get off now, I have tuition + school homework, Chinese thingamaroos I should have read and made notes for on Thursday and basically a whole lot of mugging I really should be doing.

Good night lovely people.

22 Points for 9 July 2009

2009-07-09T23:16:00.004+08:00

HEYYO.

I'm not being emo here, but I feel like I've been really annoying these few days, so if I'm annoying you, PLEASE TELL ME K. Thanks. :D

I shall refrain from complaining about homework here too.

1. I love having recess in class. (Well who doesn't, right.) It's the bomb of a picnic right here in 4E2 with people bringing and sharing food from home everyday. And I'm gonna make sure I buy more stuff to share with you guys next week. I feel guilty pinching food from so many people and not really sharing my bread-breakfast.
2. We are a class of petitioners, nevermind if that word doesn't exist. Yesterday it was about recess, tomorrow it might be about X-Country and Zany Green Parade. No kidding.
3. Looks like 4E2 '09 is gonna be remembered by teachers. Mrs Liew for example, knows us to be the "happy class".
4. Rachel, get well soon k! Thanks for that really sweet message. :)
5. I know it's pretty late to say this, but congratulations to the Band for being among the Top 3 Secondary School Bands in Singapore! You guys are awesome.
6. Congratulations to the Choir too. :)))
7. Jia you Fiona for the MJC audition tomorrow! You can one!
8. Thank you Pam and Fiona for putting up with my incessant turning-around-and-talking to you guys in class.
9. Ayeshah I like your hair, seriously.
10. Thank you Nat for putting up with my pokes. More pokes ahead! :B
11. I feel like a basket of secrets. I'm honoured. And bursting. But I resolve not to burst.
12. Elsa I love you. :)
13. Mare I hope your hand and knee get better soon! :S
14. Thank you Su and Pam for sanitising my hands so cheerfully everyday.
15. I'm not a big fan of Michael, but rest in peace.
16. Jia Min we'll see you again soon, yes? Tuesday was really fun. :)
17. Someone please pray I'll write bigger, less spaced-out and neater. And think much much faster! So my exam scripts won't look and be blah content-wise.
18. Gina I'm really happy things now are a far cry from what they were 2 years ago. :)
19. My mummy rocks. She's a big rock, in her own words. And I agree.
20. Daddy rocks when he isn't nagging. Haha. But seriously.
21. Dan rocks cause he helped me wash my share of plates today.
22. And Joe rocks because he lent me his calculator when mine died yesterday.

I gotta bathe. 'Night honies! :)

First Half of 2009 Picture Essay

2009-06-28T14:44:00.029+08:00

I've done 78.9% of my holiday homework! A lot of Chinese left though. I owe Mdm Liu like 10+ bao zhang du hou gans from the past 3 or so months. And I'm supposed to do at least one before the holiday ends, but I'm really not up to doing Chinese. Sigh. Anyhow, seeing as to how I'm not gonna be online anytime soon (or so I think), I'll do a picture essay of January-June this year. Since I haven't posted pictures here in quite a while.

Hi Gina! HAHAHA.

Heehee I burnt my paper during the gas tests for Chemistry. See the brown part?

I cheated to get this lah, cause I had to delete a couple of SMSes in between. But this is cool right! (: (All the zooples are in that row by the way.)

I wrote this on the back of my Chemistry TYS during Chem remedial last year. Let's all bear this (it reads "We will ace Chem. Somehow. :D" by the way,) in mind as the new term starts, k?

All the best for semester 2 ladies. Love you all.

June's a Whiz

2009-06-27T01:24:00.002+08:00

Wait let me finish singing along to Kekatu first.

HAHAHA okay I'm done. I'm... feeling a little blah about how I can't even remember how to sing some parts of the SYF songs I sang just 2 months ago. :( 2 MONTHS ago. Okay anyway.

As you can see, I'm back online! Had to chiong the testimonial thing by yesterday, so I had to come on. Did the whole thing in about an hour, and submitted it about five minutes past midnight. (Please don't call my name at assembly for that?? Actually I know they won't lah.) Pretty pleased with myself, cause I didn't think I'd get it done in perhaps even two hours prior to starting, so yaye me. :D

I've completed about 71.1% of my homework, and I'm quite happy about it. Maybe cause it's like, if this were a subject, I'd get an A2. :DDD But nooooo I shouldn't be so happy lah, cause it seems like quite a number of people finished EVERYTHING already. Like Tiff finished it last Monday or something?? o_O

Anyhow. This holiday has been pretty okay I guess. Had 4 study sessions with the Zoo at Nat's, Shah's, Pam's and my place. Laughed a lot a lot. Unfortunately I didn't study/mug as much?? But expected lah. I just wish we could get flat tummies from laughing. I mean, who wouldn't want that right.

Gah mood just got spoilt.

I just wanted to be as un-late as possible lah please.

SigheventuallyIknowit'dstillbemyfaultlahsoifyoueverseethispleasedon'tkillme. Good night.

Last post for 8 June

2009-06-08T22:56:00.002+08:00

Yes and oh no I'm still here. : /

Gina I assume you've read that post!

Okay I better go for real. I'm done with all the online stuff I needa do today, and I'm pretty sure I stink.

Hold your noses yo!

Night ladies.

It don't feel like the holidays

2009-06-08T20:19:00.003+08:00

NO ONE'S TAGGING! ): -coughcough-

Gosh I dreamt weird dreams yesterday. I dreamt I was late for school. Then I sprang up from the floor (that's where I was napping, see) and scurried over to the phone. Gradually dawned upon me that it was Sunday afternoon, still. -.- If that's what a DC does to you, then I must admit cleaning classrooms as a penalty works in mysterious ways. Or perhaps it's just the goody-two-shoes in me.

The opening notes of Katy Perry's Thinking of You (for lack of a better word) whacked me the first time I listened to it on Youtube just now. Neigh I hope it's not some weird subconscious reaction or something. I thought... Ahh nevermindwhatever.

So it's the holidays now, and I've been going for supplementary lessons the past 4 days (inclusive of today). It DOES NOT feel like a school holiday if you go in at the normal time and leave at 5+/6+, I tell you. I mean yah lah I'm staying back with Pam And Shah (who're very entertaining) VOLUNTARILY, but you see, if in the first place we didn't have to go back during the holidays, it'd feel More like a holiday. Err you get what I mean right?

Messed up TJ audition big time last Tuesday. Going for MJ audition on Friday. Just trying my luck, kinda. But I DO want to get into MJ.

You know how kinda )(*&^%$£"! it feels to be happy over the simple fact that you upsized your meal at Macs and got a free purple glass because it feels like that's the easiest thing you've achieved in recent times? (cause you don't work for a free glass, you simply pay 50 cents to upsize a meal. Just goes to show how accomplished I feel school work-wise these days.) That said, good job all my fellow workers on Project Purple Cup (as christened by Elsa)- Pam, Sa and Shah. We talked, laughed, squashed fries to de-oil them, walked back to school (yes, from Parkway!) because we felt guilty and/or fat and stank together after the walk. :D

ByTheWay congrats to Sa Chan for topping the level in English and Tiff, in (English) Literature. Also to Fiona, Pam, Shah, Si Jia and (I think) Farah for the improvement by 1 MSG thing. You guys totally deserve it. (:

Today was pretty pleasant. I just wish I didn't sleep at 3am this morning, fall asleep in class and stone so much with Pam, Shah and Si Jia after school. NE survey (it's actually a game) was mighty fun. Just wish I could complete it.

Random note- Deborah, focusfocusfocus, on the right things please. You almost made a half-step forward.

K lah better end here. Going online has a weird way of sapping your energy without your realising it.

Good evening/night darlings.

MYE 2009 Comments

2009-05-27T21:53:00.003+08:00

HAHAHAHAHA MYEs AH. I did as well as I usually do. Which is, not good.

I gotta get the engine going for Prelims pronto.

Good job Elsa and Fiona on the new records set. Keep up the good work!
Mare don't be too disappointed; this term just happens to be particularly bad one. I know you're capable of much better stuff.

Yaye 4e2, I think we did quite well for Combined Humanities right? Plus improvements for E Math. :) We'll jia you for ChemisTRY together okay!

If anyone out there's fed up/upset with any part of their grades, just keep in mind that the O's will matter most eventually. So don't fret too much over the MYEs k.

Eek PLEASE get off my case already lah.

Visiting the Choir looks likely to become a habit for me. It's become such a great part of my routine in my 3 years and (almost) 5 months here, so now that I'm out, I just have to go back.

I love you honeybunnies.

Of Chocolate and Song

2009-05-13T21:55:00.005+08:00

I HAVE NO MORE SMARTIES, DOVES OR FUDGIE BON BON IN MY FRIDGE. Someone please replenish my chocolate supply. I promise it won't be wasted on me. Some Merci will be nice- I wanna try them. Thanks!

Okay that's my ode to chocolate. I think I'm going nuts, no pun intended.

I spent most of today watching television and doing an E Math worksheet I didn't complete before the exams. Why, you ask? Because (here I go again) I know how screwed my Mid-Years are. I was thinking of asking the folks to spare me the lectures when I get my results, because what's done is done, and really there's not gonna be anything new to hear in those lectures. I'm not trying to be rude, just practical. I mean it's happened so many times already right. So anyway in return, (for lack of a better word/phrase) I'll start mugging again. Or at least start doing all the missing homework; the latter I started yesterday.

Before I got down to the Math though, I was playing some Choir songs on the piano, and it brought back memories. Like, remember Amigos Para Siempre and the President's charity concert thingy at the Esplanade? That was fun. Always With Me? (whatever the title is in Japanese) I remember Brenda accompanying us on the piano in the foyer. The White Horses? I can still hear the Sop 1s’ part. I just wish I could actually play AND sing along decently. Another thing to add to the "To Do After O Levels" list there huh.

Ohh baby sing sing sing sing sing sing...

Now, I'm looking forward to the visit to Fiona's with Marianne tomorrow. Movie marathon, online stalking and gossiping. :D

Bio seemed appealing to study after dinner. Let's hope it'll still be the case when I go up later.

ILOVEYOUFORREADINGTHISBYE.

Almost Bye

2009-05-09T18:29:00.003+08:00

MID YEARS ARE ALMOST OVER, and I'm mighty screwed. The way I'm going, I'm gonna do just 5 subjects for O levels. Okay not possible, but you know what I mean right? Neigh.

So now I'm left with History. I hope that'll let me pass my Combined Humanities. Pleasepleaseplease. Someone remind me to do my exam reflections soon.

Oh and I've made new friends this week. So happy. :D Thursday's hilarious -study- date with Ayeshah and Khaleedah, as well as Archie-reading and failed-attempt-to-study date with Thahira, Sally, Arra, Asyiqin and Rury. Really glad to have been able to talk to and catch up with this bunch. :D

Okay I'm not supposed to be blogging. I'm supposed to do up the song sheets for tomorrow's Cell Worship.

In view of that, I'll keep this short.

Announcements

1. If you're already done with all your papers, well then lucky people I'm so jealous but you deserve it so go all out and celebrate. Mare please take it easy this week okay.

2. If you don't fall into that category, then, jiayou! It's just ONE more paper. That's nothing compared to this week, init.

3. BATTTTTTTTTT! See you on ~~Monday~~ Tuesday. :) I'll be really happy to see you back in class. Give me your blog address so I can visit and link okay.

4. I love you best friend. A lot and always. Let's get out of this daze together k.

Bye ladieees.

2009-04-26T01:04:00.003+08:00

Edited 10 May 2009! (But I know you won't be able to tell, hahahahaha.)

I love the word count function on Microsoft Word. Sometimes it frustrates you, but sometimes it doesn't. It's the latter for me now though. (I'm currently doing a zuo wen for tuition that's one month overdue, heh heh)

I screwed up the English papers on Wednesday. Megasigh. Now I know I CANNOT SLEEP AT 2 PLUS THE DAY BEFORE A PAPER. Common sense it should be, but common sense is not very common to me I guess.

This week overall though, has been pretty rockin'. ;D Surprises, suspense and superrrrr things abound.

Random- Ms Tong's comments on Monday's performance were so nice, I melted.

At stake for the mid-years:
1. Ice cream (Fiona)
2. A "big hug" (Ms Tong)

HAHAHA. :D

Oh and.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY THAHIRA! (24th) Thanks for being such a fab gossip partner from the time we were watch and tent mates in OBS till now. You'll get your present on Monday k! (:

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN APARNA! It was fab sitting next to you. (:

Good night ladies.

230409(:

200409 is Joy!

2009-04-20T23:58:00.002+08:00

20TH APRIL 2009:
1. HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN GINA! I love you many many. (:
2. GOLD WITH HONOURSSSSSSSSSS!!! :D:D We're bringing assembly to the courtyard tomorrow, and you can be certain we're gonna scream the school down when they make the announcement. Whoa I tell you ah, we emoted the song like never before. ("My hair was standing when you all sang Itsuki"- Mrs Foo and "Whoa this Ruth ah, moved so much, gave me a lot of pressure"- Vivien) And we were definitely not as sharp as during the practice. Although we still eventually were, but... Yah lah. So basically this is what happened. Mrs Foo (who is supposed to give us the results) is upstairs with a few girls, while the rest of the choir is assembled at the foyer. Suddenly, we hear people screaming. And some (like me) go "huh huh gold with honours??" and eventually you have a foyer full of screaming, jumping, hugging and escatic girls. AHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOSH! I tell you, it was madness. I think I even jumped on my precious white bag please. And I didn't even bother to finish removing my make-up properly. (I unknowingly went home with smudged eyeliner oh joy) This is really incredible. I left the stage almost in tears (I have no idea why), was hysterical while gripping Dian's hand down the steps at VCH and couldn't stop wondering if we were really okay on stage. Though I figured that we more or less were, because Ms Lim didn't seem pissed at us.

I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYY.

Kudos and bouqets and hugs and love to everyone who made this possible- Ms Lim, Ms Chai, Ms Yin, Ms Tong, Mrs Foo, Mrs Chua, US (duh goes without saying right), Mrs Lim, Mrs Chia, Mrs Tan, Ms Terry (thank you for coming down!), Dian's dad, the Choir seniors (classes of '06, '07 and '08) and all the current TKGians who supported, believed in us, wished us well, bought us stuff and will share in our joy, supportive folks and siblings and God. (:

I now have a better idea of what to write in the notes I meant to (but didn't give) give you guys today. I just wish I could help to inspire you a little with a note BEFORE SYF. But nevermind. I'm happy, you're happy, TKGS is happy. (Ahem ahem holiday for fab CCA achievements this year please)

Monday, 20th April 2009 is a massive massive joy for more reasons than one. I hope you can share in my joy. (:

Night!

P/s: Happy sweet sixteen Avryl! Me still remembers. :D God bless!

I Love You Grandaunt

2009-04-07T20:40:00.002+08:00

This wouldn't have been possible without you.

Thank you so very very very much grandaunt, for everything you gave us. I love you lots. R.I.P..

On 17th March 2009

2009-03-18T01:11:00.002+08:00

HELLO. I HEART SHERLYN'S BLOG. It never fails to make me laugh out loud, even at times like these. *Owl hoots in distance* MJ seems like a nice place to be, except my current L1R5 is not gonna let me anywhere near it. Let's see if I abandon my plans for XXJC now. (Don't ask.)

Yesterday was an okay day I guess. Met Wendy, Xin Yi and Ju Ih late, had lunch (courtesy of Wendy's mum; thank you aunty!), walked around at the mall right next to Chinatown MRT station, went for tuition, met Wendy, went to Wendy's and came back. Had dinner, talked to mummy dearest, went looking for my SD card, found Chin's letter (finally!), got told the SD card was on the table (left by yours truly no less)... And got online. I happily forgot to fold the whole basket of clothes in my room. And that my original intent of coming online was to send the email for the "Serve the Church" thingy although the project has already started and I was supposed to send it in by Sunday. -.- Neigh WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

Oh my pumps (well actually only the right side) kinda fell apart. Thankfully I was almost at Mdm Liu's, so I didn't have to walk too far with it. And Mdm Liu lent me a pair of shoes! Yaye thank you so so much. :) (Actually doing homework on time has its priveleges)

OHH. I didn't mention it here, did I. I'm currently in the SYF group, though if they do remember to audition the people deemed as not knowing the songs well enough, I'll probably have to go for that audition. Well I've learnt much from all the auditions, and that (I can't remember which) week honestly. I just hope I remember the lessons learnt, that it'll somehow be ingrained in me forever. Cause it takes a LOT for me to remember something.

There's choir later! At Chung Cheng High (Main) no less. I'm glad I'll be seeing my friends again. It feels like I haven't seen them for ages. Anyhow, this is the week where we'll be going to various schools for practice/workshops, so I really hope we don't screw up. Better go look through the scores later. I hope I remember man.

Randommmm note, but I dig Farah's blog too. It's hilarious; you should go check it out for yourself. :D

I love James Morrison and Nelly Furtado's Broken Strings.

You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
It's so true. Not just in the touchy-feely sense, but everything else as well. Or is it? Aiyah I don't know lah. Too lazy to think now. I just really like the lyrics of the song. Go google it yo.

Yet another random note- Ayeshah I hope your lips are much better now! And that everything's fine and dandy in NP camp right now; that the worst-case scenarios or whatever worries you may have had about the camp haven't and will not come true. Lub you my dear Ant. (: Looking forward to catching up with you when school reopens.

You know whattttt. I need to learn to stop getting so excited about finishing one piece of homework when I have 10 pieces more to go. People talk about rewarding yourself for little accomplishments along the way, but I think I've really taken it overboard. Sigh. Why am I so weird huh.

Anyhows I better go. Hope you haven't been too bored by the whole long post. I just felt like writing.

XOXO

Brief

2009-03-10T01:09:00.002+08:00

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WISHES, SMSES, GIFTS, CARDS, PLANS and whatnot. I love you all baby bamboozles many. (: I'd have listed everything and everyone individually, but I'm much too lazy for that so yeah.

Oh and HAPPY BELATED 17TH JIA MIN! You get this because you're the most rockin' senior ever. Thanks for being there for us in so many ways; for being not just an SL or senior, but a friend too. I LOVE YOU & WO AI NI! :D

You know, I never really realise my hair when it is long. I only realise it when I decide to cut it, because suddenly I realise "Eh?? My hair is short now!" I say this because I was looking at Hannah's old blog. The pictures from OBS, to be exact. I saw myself in it, and realised my hair was pretty long then. (Oh by the way I HEART OBS, and won't mind going back anytime(: ) Back to the point; I intend to grow out my bangs, but can't decide what to do with the rest of my hair. Grow it, or cut it to what I had at around this time last year?

Give me your opinions please.

Oh, and it's really nice to be remembered milessssssssss away. ;)

I'm sorry for the crappy post. Time constraint lah. I've overstayed online.

IT'S FEBRUARY!

2009-02-21T20:20:00.005+08:00

AHEM.

Wishlist.
1. Dates. I'll be free from 2+ onwards on Saturday. Or maybe earlier. Check with me again. I'm currently dateless.
2. 10 000 000 hugs the day before and itself.
3. A non screwed-up, decent performance for the choir gathering at Hwa Chong.
4. Beach outing at the jetty/breakwater to watch the sunset. (Since there's no way I can watch the sunrise in my sleep.)
5. Midnight SMSes.
6. Not too much homework that weekend, please.
7. PURPLE things yo. Earrings perhaps?
8. Nice, induces-heart-to-melt-into-a-gooey-mess letters or notes.
9. A pocket-size comb? HAHAHA. Cause four teeth have fallen off my current purple one. :(
10. A thin black hairband. Thy bangs annoy occasionally.
11. Literature guidebook for To Kill A Mockingbird or A Midsummer's Night Dream.

I feel so ego doing this. (But I'm making you life easier okay!) But do note I appreciate anything heartfelt. So don't go banging your head if you've already gotten something, haha. Okay okay I better stop. I really really feel ego.

Updates.
1. I retained Higher Chinese and am stunned at the tsunami of homework that has resulted.
2. I dropped A Math. So now I go for extra E Math lessons during A Math periods with Ms Ong and a bunch of really funny 4E5 people, as well as -new- friends Iffa and Jesslyn of course.
3. I failed the first audition for SYF.
4. I screwed up the second audition today.
5. And I'll only know the results of today's audition on Friday.
6. Be careful, my heart may just plop out of me before that. It won't be a pretty sight then.
7. Choir's stressful.
8. I should have taken note of that "The wind whips the spray..." entrance. NEIGH.
9. I PASSED E MATH AND BIO OVERALL! Yaye me.
10. The ~~revenge~~ return of the seniors! Last frieday it was Jinli and Ruby. Yesterday it was Victoria and Jinli. Today it was Jia Min. I lunched with the grand-grand seniors yesterday. And hugged Jia Min twice today. It doesn't feel like she's no longer in TKGS, honestly. Oh and Jia Min has a nice, new, thick and fun calculator. :) Cool bananas. Was really happy to see you all!
11. Oh and thank you for all the Valentine's Day gifts yo! Especially to those who left your gifts anonymously.
12. COMMONWEALTH ESSAY. Sigh. I still haven't done it. D: And Mrs Loe returned the essays to the class last week!
13. Oh. The affirmation notes. AHH. I've at least... 10 more to write? AHHHH.
14. I can't decide if I should watch Slumdog Millionaire. Cause of the apparent measely amounts they paid the actors. I brought this up to my mum, and she was like "you should boycott it!" I said "oh yah hor!".
15. Oh and random. But thank you Yu Han and Dian for today. (though I don't think you'll see this, haha.)
16. I'm almost 16! This equals no more feeling sad and helpless when I see a movie's been rated NC16. Like when I wanted to watch Juno last year.

I better go. Look out for the next post... In March.

<3

I finally blogged!

2009-01-25T01:08:00.002+08:00

HEYYO! First post of 2009. O: Anyhow.

TEN THINGS. (My mum wants me to get off ASAP, see)
1. My parents have almost successfully persuaded me to drop Higher Chinese. Goodbye 2 bonus points (if I actually work hard) and Mdm Chee (I love her she's so funny and is some sort of a role model to me), should Express Chinese become a reality for me. For me, it (Higher Chinese) started with a band 1, continued with a Merit, and ended with a C5 (and a rather er, useless Dictinction for Oral/Aural). Those were the -passports- to my 5 years of doing Higher Chinese. But I thank all the Chinese Teachers and tuition teachers who've taught me.
2. Oh and thank you to everyone who has put up with my PMSiness and what-subject-to-drop dilemma this week. Heh sorry ah.
3. Went for tuition yesterday, and Mrs Law gave me an ang bao. Totally unexpected, but thanks! Haha.
4. Oh and my correction tape's at Mrs Law's. I think she forgot to return it to me at the end of the lesson. (She took it from me because she noticed I use tons of that thing, and wanted me to "get it right the first time round!")
5. I'M GONNA GET MAIL!! Hahaha. :D I can hardlyyyyy wait.
6. I talked to Abigail on the phone for 1+ hour yesterday while discussing today's worship! Enjoyed it thoroughly. :D

Gah fine. Just 6 points. (At least I blogged okay!) In case I don't go online before Chinese New Year, ZHU DA JIA XIN NIAN KUAI LE, BU BU GAO SHENG, SHEN TI JIAN KANG! (that's wishing everyone happy new year, improvement and good health) :):):) Special shout-outs to those who ain't in Singapore: Dorothy and Mabel Gugu and Mrs Lee.

A thousand moles of love to one and all! (I think I love Chem, seeing as to how it has infiltrated even daily conversation occasionally.)

P/s- Ayeshah get well soon.

In between the 2nd and 31st

2008-12-31T21:58:00.004+08:00

It's been like, 29 days since I last blogged?? :O

In between then and now, I
1. Went to Hong Kong. Victoria Peak, Disneyland, Ocean Park, Macau, Airport.
2. Attended Rhema Conference 2008. Was an usher with 3 other Deborahs. See below!

Deborah Lock, Tay, Liu, Goh. Ooh we rock. :D
3. Went out a couple times. Once with Dorcas, once with most of P.O.G, and once with Ayeshah, Fiona and Nat.
4. Homework lor. Though I'm only 15/28 way through.

Sigh.

Deborah Lock's 14 Points

2008-12-02T23:34:00.007+08:00

Some random things.

1. Pam and Fiona came over today. Did homework, had lunch, prank-called (unsuccessfully, kinda), called Elsa, looked at pictures, had ice cream, talked, laughed. Fiona and Pam had a lot of fun with Octopsy. Nat you better come ah next time. If not I'll... Batnap you. :)
2. Had tuition with a new teacher today. She said I can do it (E Math), I just need to practice more. Surprised. Really. And I'm likely to have to go over to her place next time round. (Instead of her coming over) But count your blessings Deb, it's a blessing she even came to teach you. REMEMBER THAT.
3. Goo Goo Dolls' Iris is playing on loop. I have no idea why. Must be that whole movie-playlist thing on 987 last night.
4. I happily volunteered to do ushering for Rhema Conference for the first and last night services. So now I must stop complaining about it. Or making seemingly cynical-although-they're-not-actually-that-way comments about it.
5. I MUST FINISH MY HOLIDAY HOMEWORK, SO I CAN ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO DO MY MUGGING CATCHING UP. Also so I can go for that regional outing.
6. ElsaC stop daoing me for not being able to see you off on Thursday cause IT IS NOT MY FAULT. I would if I could, but I can't. So there. But I still want a sheep/postcard/letter from New Zealand okay.
7. The Choir thing on Saturday didn't go too well for us. But we will kickass next March. I want to.
8. I seem to be pre-occupied with Q*bert, V-Rally 2 (both are games) and the SMS counter on my phone. :O
9. I'm going to Hong Kong next Monday.
10. I find it amazing that the two cousins who are going with me are still unaware of the trip. (Their folks are keeping them in the dark cause they don't want them to get too excited and/or be unable to focus on the CO competition she's participating in)
11. I should, SHOULD be getting off the comp soon. Once again, I leave without sending or uploading a single one of the ten zillion photos I owe people.
12. I thought I'd have a problem coming up with 10 points in this post. Now I have 12. -.-
Oh.
13. Thanks Dorcas and family for hosting last week's sleepover. It was great. (:
14. Jiayou Qi for tomorrow's competition! (Although I know you won't see this in time, or perhaps even ever, but...) And bon voyage to all those going somewhere this holidays- Ayeshah who's already in KL, Elsa to New Zealand, Marianne to Vietnam/Korea, and Jia Min (I think) to Korea.

Cool. I have 14 points. Just like Woodrow Wilson! I is the bomb. (:

P/s- If you don't know who Woodrow Wilson is, grab a History textbook from the nearest history student (it could be you) and check out chapter 2: Establishing Peace.

Pp/s- No, I haven't been mugging History.

Okay I know you're sick of me now.

Bye.

I WANT TO CAMP IN TKGS

2008-12-02T23:05:00.004+08:00

Let me tell you something.

I LOVE HEART LOVE HEART LOVE SLEEP-IN CAMPS.

And I am absolutely bamboozled that I will never once be able to spend a night in TKGS. Was looking at the pictures of Thahira's PB camp, and I got jealous, because well, I'll never spend a night in TK. )': It's saddening, and I don't care if you don't understand my pain. Perhaps I should get locked in school one day eh? But no lah. Not fun if I don't have any friends with me. I can just imagine Elsa's, Fiona's and Marianne's reactions if I asked them to stay in with me for a night.

"YOU CRAZY AH."

Or.

"You go do it by yourself lah."

Or. (worst case scenario, so not likely, but still there's a possibility) "Come, let's ignore Deborah."

D':

In case I never told you before- Before I came to TKGS, I thought my CCA would either be choir or Guides. I picked Choir, and though I have no regrets joining this crazynoisymusical CCA, I wish it'd have some sort of camp in school. I won't mind having a sleepover farewell party in school next year.

Hinthinthint. (Although I know no one will pick it up, I'm makig myself heard)

I'm proud to have been among the first batch of people to have camped at the newly-rennovated St Hilda's Primary in 2003 for the combined UG (Boys' Brigade, Girls' Brigade and Girl Guides) Apple Camp.

A chance to camp at TK before it actually undergoes PRIME would be nice too.

Okay lah I think you've had enough of my I-WANT-TO-CAMP-IN-TKGS emo-ness.

(Thank God for OBS and the Choir Chalet in 2006.)

15 years and 9 months

2008-11-28T23:32:00.002+08:00

I just corrected a number of typos from the previous post. D: This (typos) is what happens when you're in a hurry to get offline because someone is nagging, and almost yelling at you at midnight. Though to be fair of course I shouldn't have been online then. (Although I don't honestly feel that way but...)

Okay enough about that already.

I HAVE A NASTY RASH ON MY HANDS AND FEET. It's very itchy, and annoying. Woke up at 5+ today scratching away. Took a while to realise what was happening, i.e. I was actually scratching myself in my sleep. Couldn't sleep for a while after that. The cream and oral medicine given by the doctor so far are not working. Hmph. D: It's like, someone dotted me with this pinkish-red marker can. And the ink of that marker is causing some sort of weird reaction. Blah bananas. Fiona, I know you're in the same state, so- LET'S OVERCOME THIS STUPID RASH TOGETHER; JIA YOU! :D

Sososo. Tomorrow's the Chor Exchange/Friendly Competition at Hwa Chong. :S Need to go check out the meaning of Itsuki online, since well, it's Japanese.

OHMYGOSH IT'S 12 ALREADY??!? Eeyer. Okay lah better go. Before I wake up late again tomorrow.

Send us your blessings people; today's practice didn't go too well!

Okay goodnightloveandbye.

Just 201108

2008-11-20T23:28:00.004+08:00

Heyya.

Let me tell you a story of how I came to the comp with just about one single purpose in mind (check out make-up application techniques cause I hated feeling so helpless not knowing how to use blusher and the likes on Wednesday during the Anniversary Concert full dress rehearsal) but have now checked my 2 email accounts, blog-hopped and tagged, gone on youtube, checked out something on Cbox, and talked to Marianne on MSN, all WITHOUT checking out the make-up stuff. Someone tell me I'm wonderful already.

Okay you know what. Maybe it's simply because I haven't been online for more than a week; consequently, there's a million and one things to go do and check out.

Anyway. Been having rehearsals for the 55th Anniversary Concert all this week. I don't really mind though. I've always wanted to perform in a major school concert. (Since I know I don't have a chance to perform in the NDP combined choirs thing anymore, this is the next best) I love this sorta thing, for some reason. Must be the whole Face To Face thing in 2002. That was the bomb man. (:

Homework update:
~~Complete reading To Kill A Mockingbird~~
~~9 Questions on Coordinate Geometry (A Math)~~
I know that's horrible, given that
1. Some very hard and fast-working people like Ayeshah and Nat have completed most of the stuff and are left with only the 2 Maths (Ayeshah having Chem as well) -> implication- IT CAN BE DONE DEBORAH, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
2. I don't work fast. D:

Lately I realise I want to blog in pictures. BUT I DON'T TAKE ENOUGH PICTURES. -.- Like, I've hardly any pics of all the rehearsals thus far can.

But tomorrow we shall cam-whore! :D

Okay. I shall take my leave. Sick of blogging for now.

JIA YOU, GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST FOR THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT TOMORROW PEOPLE! Give it all you've got. (:

On Primary School Chums...

2008-11-12T12:13:00.003+08:00

On the topic of friends now. Those from primary school to be exact.

I realise how much all of you have changed whenever I look at your stuff online- Facebook profiles, blogs, whatever. How our lives only seem to share one common thread now- that of being in the same primary school. (well obvioiusly) It's like, you go check out someone's profile online, and you're surprised to see how the person has changed, looks and attitude wise. Then when you go to the blogs, you see unfamiliar names, unfamiliar situations mentioned. Unless of course, that post is about the twice-yealy meetings during Chinese New Year and Teachers' Day. And even during these meetings, when was the last time we actually met up as an Entire group? I can't remember. It's the whole thing about not frequently keeping in touch, being in sync with what's happening in each other's lives. Which is kinda sad. I mean yeah people move on, but... Okay nevermind. Now even we don't talk on the phone anymore. I saw you twice this year on CNY and Teachers' Day, but we only exchanged a few words. Occasional SMS convos have turned semi-formal too. I don't think I'm likely to try calling you again, cause, what will we talk about? "How's school?" Aiyah I don't know lah. Feel so mean typing all this. Like, I'm not even trying to keep in close contact, so who am I to say all this??

But I thank you guys for being a part of my life. Some things which happened the first time in my life, you guys knew about it almost first-hand. So to Avryl, Amanda Cheu, Elizabeth, Germaine, Grace, Li Shan, Priscilla, and (dareIsayit) Eugene, thanks for the memories. I love you guys, and I hope you are happy in whatever schools you are in now, with friends, classes, CCAs, subject combinations and what not. Once again, I thank you for being a part of my life, and I wish you all the best in everything you do. Contact me anytime okay. (:

Holidays!

2008-11-12T11:39:00.004+08:00

Hey there(:

Ahh. It's off to choir practice/second gown-fitting session later. :D I want to go to school. You know I woke up yesterday and thought "I want to go to school and see my friends." I mean, they are the best part of school right? All the poking, nonsense-talking and what not. All this makes for fab memories when I graduate in less than a year. D: And apparently, you make the best friends in secondary school. I simply can't imagine where I'd be now if not for all the wonderful people I've gotten to know in these 3 years in TKGS. Like, this year may have been the worst at least academic-wise for me, but I found the best friends ever. So, thank you guys. I think my mum is sick of me telling her what good friends I have in school, HAHAHA.

So yeah. Holidays have started, and as usual, there are a gazillion and one things to do. Online, I know I owe you people 987654321 photos. Homework-wise- AHH LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HAVE YET TO START. Choir, well I'm gonna spend a couple hours in the afternoon and evening going for the 55th Anniversary Concert Rehearsals for all the weekdays next week. Thereafter, we have the workshop at Hwa Chong to deal with. I'm still undecided about Rhema. (So far away can!) And I'm supposed to be mugging my butt off this holiday, (8 hours daily, remember??) but so far all I've done is read until about chapter 15 of Mockingbird and finish the Extended Studies homework on Matrices. The latter does not, I repeat DOES NOT even count as holiday homework. I just did it because it's easy to do. Haiya SIGH.

Okay you know what. I shall now attempt to think about how to send you guys the gazillion photos I owe you. Facebook, email (Yahoo or Hotmail, and send as file or photo?) or... Okay you know what. I'm very tempted to just pass around my thumbdrive. Like you know, just upload all of this year's pictures there and get you people to upload as you wish?

Hmph.

Oh and old news I know, but if you're free now go watch Connie Talbot on youtube. She's amazing, period. I cried watching her singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow in the audition.

May your holidays be as happy as these rock cakes!

See you later babes.

A bit the emo.

2008-11-05T22:39:00.003+08:00

HELLO.

So today, was O LEVEL CHINESE. Which I screwed up. My zuo wen and gong han seem so much shorter than everyone else's. Gong han, only gave 2 suggestions. TWO! Didn't finish the compre in paper 2 either, which is wasted because I actually understood the passage.

Lunch with Nat, Farah and her friend later was a blast. We were talking nonsense, laughing and EEE-ing each other the whole way through.

Went back to school for the Parent Teacher Conference. Said hi to many people and their accompanying folks. First one okay, second one okay, third one... I'm sorry but I left utterly disappointed. I mean. I almost carried thorugh with this semi-resolution I made, but no when I left the classroom I just had to bust it. And yes, people stared. Honestly, sometimes I can't help but wonder what they are really thinking. Okay I better shut up lest I get into further trouble. Ask if you want, but be prepared for a whole tirade of... Deb nonsense. Seriously.

MRS LEEEE WHERE ON EARTH ARE YOU?? I really want you to teach me next year. D: I mean I know it sounds kinda selfish lah. But seriously. !!

Oh I have Chem SPA tomorrow. Have to get off the comp asap, because I can't afford to screw up yet another O LEVEL PAPER. Bio was bad enough. Ditto Chinese. (And it determines if 3 years of doing Higher Chinese has gone to waste, cause if I don't do well enough for this paper, I'll be made to drop HCL, with no room for negotiation whatsoever. Which will make me jump up and down in rage, cause honestly HCL HASN'T BEEN THE LEAST BIT EASY IN MY THREE YEARS OF LEARNING IT.) Bio... Just have to mug harder lah. Sigh.

Oh I may lock this blog soon. Tell me okay if I inadvertedly leave you out of those invitations. I just find the fact that this blog comes out first when you google deborah lock highly scary. And I know I'm a bit paranoid given that we generally hold high levels of respect for each other's privacy here at home, but I don't want the folks here. So yeah.

I'm going.

Dedications?

2008-10-30T21:57:00.005+08:00

I MISS BLOGGING, AND THEREFORE I WILL BLOG NOW.

I just went to Thahira's blog. I love her rainbow blogskin. Made me inspired to think about changing my skin to a nice new rainbow-ish one as well can. Hai. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to do that now. Maybe I will later. Oh and her quiz. THAT question. HAHAHAHAHAHA. :D Thahira I love your funny posts and nonsense. Must talk and gossip a lot one of these days yah! Sooooo much to catch up on. Heehee.

Chinese IR is usually massively funny. Thanks to Clara and her "WHOA THAT'S IT AH END OF FRIENDSHIP!!" and all her other statements. Oh and today she wrote this on the back of my foolscap.

Do note that while I found this utterly hilarious, it is not true because I certainly do not laugh with humility nor eat with integrity.

But Clara I got it!

CLARA AH. Hai. Thank you for making my life so much funnier. Even when it's at MY expense. (As illustrated above.)

Eh. I just realised I blogged about my 2 OBS tentmates, aka the CICADA SISTERS. They both are wonderfully funny and crazy. (I'm sure fellow Cheng Ho-ians and Battutians agree.) Love you girls and your nonsense. (:

Oh you know I spoke to Mrs Pang yesterday. And because of my glorious L1R5, I've been told it'd be necessary to "study 8 hours a day (during the November-December holidays". I know what Mrs Pang means, but honestly I think it'd be quite an achievement if I can even spend 4 days weekly studying for an hour. Because from past expereince I enter the holidays with virtuous ideals of studying a lot but yet still enojoying thyself, but when the holidays end, I'll be like "HUH OH NO OH NO I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK LEFT AND I NEVER REALLY MUGGED." It's a real state of panic, which most unfortunately fades away by the time the next holiday rolls in, i.e. I never really learnt my lesson. It's the same old story every time I get my report book. All the same feelings, emotions, reactions from people around me. I don't know why I just don't have that motivation, that magic thing which will kick me into mugging everytime I should be mugging.

That said, I owe a million thank you's to the people listed below.
Ayeshah- For being ever-so encouraging, cause I really feel your sincerity in the whole thing. And for always being there in those after A/E Math paper checking sessions in the hall. (Haha you know what happens then right.) Oh and for teaching me trigo and Bio at your place the other time.
Elsa- For that letter. It was unexpected, but really sweet. I know I've yet to escape that evil habit of Ostrichism, but yeah. Also for coming up with the League Of Tutors (LOT) thing.
Fiona- For all the "DLSW (My initials; won't type it out in full) you better go and studay ah if not..." and for telling me I can do it. Though I've yet to do it. Haha. And for that chemical calculations formulae sheet and that little leson on Binomial Theorem (BT) at the foyer yesterday. AND. For being part of the LOT.
Gina- For pangseh-ing us that time for the mugging session. Okay kidding lah. For all the "jiayou!" SMSes.
Marianne- For being part of the LOT. And that walking-down-to-recess lesson on BT.
Natalie- For recommending your Chemistry tuition and making me feel guilty about not studying for O Level Chinese. (HAHAHA.)
Pamela- For always being there during the after A/E Math paper checking in the hall. You and your quick-laugh-inducing jokes.
Mrs Taufiq- For this.

Before I read it I thought "whoa my matrices really so horrible ah". Because it looked so long. But I really appreciate it.

So yes, thank you very very much to the abovementioned people for all your love, care and concern.

I know it's kinda anticlime to say this but
1. I screwed up Bio SPA today.
2. AHHHHH O LEVEL CHINESE!

Okay lah that's it.

Bye.

Oh wait no. You know what. I love watching Clara and Vivien do PT after Choir. No I'm not sadistic. It's just wildly entertaining.

Okay bye for real now.

FOR THE 21ST OCTOBER BABIES(:

2008-10-22T01:58:00.002+08:00

OHBYTHEWAY. For the OCTOBER 21ST BABIES.

HAPPY BELATED 15TH DORCAS! (I know it's still the 21st over where you are but this is according to the local timing.) I love you my craziest most favouritest cousin. Come back to Singapore soon alright! :D and <3.

HAPPY BELATED 15TH TESHURA! I hope you like your present. :D

HAPPY BELATED 17TH JOLYNN! Hehehe I hope you enjoyed the little celebration on Sunday. (:

Okay I'm going off for real.

Sorry..

2008-10-22T01:49:00.005+08:00

Slug update- The thing's dying. I put salt on it. R.I.P, I'm sorry.

I totally documented a murder and the motivation behind it on my blog, didn't I.

Sigh.

Dorcas actually gave me an alternative solution.

DEB! Stalking is says:
HOW DO YOU GET RID OF A SLUG WITHOUT KILLINH IT??
DEB! Stalking is says:
*KILLING
d-l-y-q.blogspot.com says:
salt
DEB! Stalking is says:
IT'S LIKE CRAWLING UNDERNEATH MY DINING TABLE NOW.
DEB! Stalking is says:
BUT THAT'S CRUEL!
DEB! Stalking is says:
AHH K I'LL TRY.
d-l-y-q.blogspot.com says:
get the frying pan and mAKe escargot

Thanks dear, but I took up the salt solution. I have no idea how to coax a slug into a frying man, and am equally clueless on cooking escargot, so yeah.

I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING, BUT MOST UNFORTUNATELY I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT IS.

Maybe that's an indication that I need to get of the comp.

Oh the folly of going back to sleep after breakfast.

Nights people.

EWWWWWW!

2008-10-22T00:51:00.003+08:00

SOS SOS SOS.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Creepy crawlie invasion.

I went to the toilet just now, and felt something on my hand, and shook it off. Later I realised it was/could be a lizard, since I saw one massive papa lizard on the door and two baby lizards on the wall. D:

Then I was walking out of the kitchen and saw of all things, a SLUG. Yes an icky slug that was half on the rug half on the floor. HOW DO I KILL IT??!? AND HOW ON EARTH DID IT GET HERE??? I know just outside my kitchen is the backyard, but seriously, this is RIDICULOUS. Best thing is, it's headed out for the dining room now, where the computer is, and where I am. No not exactly in my general direction, but still, EWWWWW. I've seen roaches, beetles (some brown and small, one massive and bright metallic green) and moths, but oh the list has just expanded. Pray tell, how do I get rid of it??? My first thought I think was to squash it with a piece of tissue paper (maybe like 10, 20 sheets) but now it's not a hard beetle that can actually be squashed. Second was to go grab some salt and sprinkle it around that thing, but after remembering how Mrs Tan once gave us a live demo and explanation of how it kills those snails and slugs (some osmosis thing), I decided it was too mean. I mean. The thing probably didn't know it was headed into the house for a slug-phobic inhabitant right. BUT IT'S SERIOUSLY FREAKING ME OUT MAN. Now to see it, I simply turn my head to the right and there that living, breathing, MOVING brown strip is. THAT'S BAD. I've contemplated leaving it be, but the thought of it climbing up the dining table (which we do not eat at, actually) and onto some random mail scares me somehow. And no I can't coax that little guy out of the house, because frankly, I DON'T WANT/DARE TO. AHHHHHHH. Save me. OH NO BANANAS IT'S CRAWLING TO THE DINING TABLE. AHHHHHHHHHH.

I think I 'll go ask Dorcas for a solution. It's ten times more likely that there in England her entire family is awake now. Compared to mine. They're all in lalaland now.

DEAR GOD PLEASE HELP ME.

Amen.

Stalking online is FUN

2008-10-22T00:22:00.003+08:00

Teeheehee. I've been reduced to a giggly heap after stalking Mrs Sew on Facebook. (Shh don't tell her that.) It's one thing to stalk an ex-role model, but it's a totally different thing stalking a teacher ONLINE. Which brings to mind that teacher-stalking session we had at Dian's last year after sectionals. Oh mine. I love stalking. (:

Oh yah. THANK YOU GINA FOR BLOGGING! :D <3

I needa bathe. You better pray I go off soon, or you'd be able to smell me from where ever you are.

Okay I'm kidding about that. But you get the point.

Okay bye.

Cry, Benihime!

2008-10-18T17:44:00.015+08:00

HELLO:D

Whee I'm blogging, not on my own blog, but on Deborah's.
Haha. Is this the 2nd or 3rd time? Can't remember, but I know that it isn't the first.

Okay okay I'm Gina by the way.

Ahh it's so hard to blog here. Stressing. Cause I can't speak/ write/ TYPE english well. So most likely it's all broken english.
Oops. Am I spoiling all the perfect posts down here? :O

So, I was feeling really bored just now, and I kind of asked Deborah to provide some entertainment~ But unfortunately, she had to go offline, so she asked me to blog for her.

Guess what did she ask me to blog about???
-Drumrolls-
About how nice she is.
AHEM, your egoness ah Deborah. Haha.

Right, so everyone has gotten back all their exam papers right! I mean for TKGians lah. Whether the results meet your expectations a not, it's all already over isn't it! So for the current Sec 3s, LET'S AWAIT THE IR. Yeah, it feels like 'O' Levels is just next month or something right. Haha.
Then, for those taking HMT, good luck for the papers on November 5th (I'm not wrong right?).
Woohoo, everyone must jiayou kay.

OH does anyone watch BLEACH? Be it the Manga or Anime! Cause both is exactly good. But one week per episode / chapter is kind of slow:( Hee, I enjoy discussing about Bleach with Ain!
-BANKAI!!-
Urahara is so cute right!! ^^
Zz.

Even though whatever I've said down here are just nonsense, I've kind of enjoyed it.
I'm like laughing-out-loud down here, after re-reading what I've just typed.
Meh, at least I spent some time doing this.

Thanks Deborah!<3>

Farah Nabilah is WANTED

2008-10-18T17:07:00.002+08:00

I'D LIKE TO KILL FARAH NABILAH FOR CAM-WHORING ON MY CAMERA SO MUCH ON THURSDAY, IT TOOK AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF TIME FOR ME TO UPLOAD MY PICTURES ONTO THE COMPUTER JUST NOW.

Okay I'm joking.

Better go now. Needa make my way to Fiona's.

Bye and have a rockin' weekend!

Quick one for 18 October

2008-10-18T02:02:00.001+08:00

ARGH I GOT SO ANNOYED SOME PART OF THIS POST JUST DISAPPEARED INTO OBLIVION WHEN I CUT AND PASTED IT ONTO AN MSN CONVO FOR TEMPORARY SAFE-KEEPING, I'M GONNA DO A ONE-LINER.

Thanks zoo, for coming over after E Math checking. I was laughing through the tears, if you didn't notice then. <3 and I really look forward to seeing you people at Fiona's later.

And you- don't worry too much yeah. But don't pretend it's alright and just try to cover everything up either. Learn from this, don't care what others might say, and we'll work our butts off to prove them wrong next year. Okay? (:

Okay lah sigh I have to go. See you people at Fiona's or at school!

Much love.

On October the Tenth

2008-10-10T15:09:00.002+08:00

HELLO! My first post-exam post. :D

I think I finally get the massive appeal of Facebook and its ginormous number of applications. You actually have to be willing to spend time trying out the apps in order to get the most out of it. Slow I know, but better late than nevr eh. And currently, I'm annoyed by the fact that my brother has been trying to ask me off the computer since he got home at about 12+. VERY ANNOYED. I mean like, hello your exams are NOT, i repeat, NOT over. I said I'd go off at 3:30, but I'm certainly not looking forward to it. I want to continue Facebook-ing and blogging and doing online quizzes, but no I can't. ARGH. And each of the bros brought back a friend. They're currently all on the Xbox.
I AM MIGHTY UNHAPPY, MIGHTY ANNOYED.

E-Learning just now was ~~. Woke up after 9, which meant I had a late start on the Chemistry module. Thankfully enough though, it's all over and done with now.

Hai. You know I was planning to blog -lightly-, but circumstances are currently not allowing for it.

But I will try.

Gown fitting's next Wednesday. FINALLY. You know I gave up doing my sit-ups like three weeks ago due to the exams ( I wanted a flat tummy but I guess forget it for now) and I have yet to restart my regime. O: Sigh. People remember the court shoes and the APPROPRIATE inner wear okay.

Oh. I passed Chinese. 55. Wee bit disappointed, but nevermind lah. It's over anyway. I hope I'll do better for the O levels in November.

Shan and Ros of 987fm came to TKGS yesterday! Jack and Rai (JAR), and some band with the word 'avenue' in their name came too. Initially overjoyed I brought my camera, but sigh I only managed to take blur shots and an incomplete video of JAR's cover of I'm Yours. I think both bands were quite good lah. Like you know showmanship and all. (Actually I don't watch bands play live so I can't really tell the difference between good and bad showmanship, HAHAHA) Preferred JAR though, cause I'm more familiar with them. Had a total scream fest with Marianne and the rest of the cohort man. Didn't care too much that we had a rehearsal for the Anniversay Concert later. (In fact, I sang betterlater on, HAHAHA. Or at least I could reach the high notes in Nightingale) Went up the Nokia bus (the whole thing was some Nokia School Invasion Programme thingamaroo) after the Chinese IR. Elsa was... Crazy. She talked to the guys on the bus. It went SOMETHING like this.

INCIDENT 1-
Elsa: I think you're hot.
Tall guy in black from the second band that played (TGIBFTSBTP): (I don't know what he said)
Elsa: And I think your hair looks like bee hoon goreng. But that's a good thing!!
TGIBFTSBTP: ?! (Again, I'm not sure what he said)

Incident 2-
Elsa: You look like my friend.
Another guy from the second band that played (AGFTSBTP): Is your friend handsome?
Elsa: No my friend is a girl.
AGFTSBTP: ?! (Once again, I don't know what he said)

The things you say, Elsa. Hai.

Oh. Belated birthday wishes.

Shereen- HAPPY BELATED SWEET SIXTEEN!! So sorry I forgot to wish you earlier. :P But anyway. Jia you for the O's, and stay happy and funny always. :D

TWINS FIONA AND MARIANNE (Not really but...)- HAPPY BELATED FIFTEENTH! May we stay in contact forever, be it for beach-ing, weddings, cafe openings, baby showers and mahjong sessions. I have nothing else to say, seeing as to how I've written birthday messages in so many places for you people. Love you guys! :D

Okay I'm going now. It's 3:42, and I certainly do not wish to get nagged at by the brothers. UGH. Bye.

Hello! ~~Quick~~ update.

It's the last day of the holidays, and as usual, most of my holiday homework will be left undone. I'm almost done with the things that need to be submitted, but don't get me started on the homework that's likely to be checked.

Every alternate month, I do the attendance for P.O.G. And during the alternate months with 5 Sundays in 'em, I have to go watch the demo on how to unhide columns M and N on Microsoft Excel because I keep forgetting how to do it. -.-

HOLIDAY UPDATES:
Tuesday: Mug/homework session with Ayeshah at Marine Parade Library! Unfortunately, there were many noisy people there. I mean yes we were on the kids' floor, but surely the majority of the people there (who are around our age) can just learn to like, KEEP QUIET?? It's a library, mind you. And silent your phones please! Yes I know you like your ring tone a lot, but don't continue to let your phone ring just because you want to hear your song. That aside, the session was fun and funny. Did work, talked, asked, laughed. Oh and I must say Ayeshah and I get annoyed by the same things, haha. Met Angie, who happened to be mugging there too.

Thursday: Mug/homework session with Fiona and Nat at Nat's. I WAS 10 MINUTES EARLY, HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF CAN. :D Lunch there was yummy. (Thank you aunty!) Did 2 worksheets on titration, and it took like hours can. Not even like I could do everything some more. Hai. Then Pam wanted to come join us, but her piano teacher didn't release her early enough for that to happen so she didn't go over eventually. But the entire SMS convo about how Pam was plotting ways and means to get back at her teacher was super funny can. I consolidated Nat's, Fiona's and my replies into the SMSes I sent Pam, and Nat's replies were so pseudo-philosopher, they made Pam so high on the bus, people were staring at her. :OD Went back with Fiona cause her mum came to pick her up.

Friday: I WAS LATE! Choir prac was mostly the first rehearsal of what I imagine to be 10 000 more for the 55th annivesary concert. Quite okay I guess. I think like one third of the time we were just sitting in the hall yammering away. Went for A Math tuition later. Amanda Liu came, so I had company. (: Took 31 to Tampines later for Grandpa's advance birthday celebration at a Japanese Restaurant. Proceeded to the Grandparents' place thereafter to cut cake. Oh and you know the journey there was like so full of lame jokes and riddles. Cause I went there with Qi and Ning. Was totally high man.

Saturday: Woke up ON TIME for Wall.E with Elsa, Elsa's cousin TJ, Marianne and Pam at Vivo. Walked around with Marianne before the show, and tried to take jump shots of her but failed 90%of the time. Pam joined us soon. When we met Elsa later, we had to pretend to be the daughters of Elsa's aunt (TJ's mum) because it was her company's family day. O: Wall.E was cute. (: I'm glad the captain had some good sense in him. (: Walked around with Pam and Marianne later, high-ed at Candy Empire before leaving Vivo. Went for Chem tuition sleepy, but yaye I kinda understand Redox!

Oh, and the names I underlined are the names of my ZOOMATES. I'm just so happy I met them at some point during the holiday even though we didn't manage to mug as a zoo. :D

Before I go,

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN KOH HUI JUN! You rocksxz! :D

(That's all I'm gonna put for your birthday dedication here cause you're gonna get a card with the whole message later.)

Bye people!

A Happy Teachers' Day Celebration

2008-08-30T22:46:00.003+08:00

I kinda just realised. How I wish I could blog anytime, anywhere. I wish I could blog on my phone without racking up a huge bill that'd make me go to school with packed lunches everyday for a month. Because, really it's quite stupid to blog only twice a month right?? I mean, hello, blogs are supposed to be online diaries.

Okay I'll try to stop emoing over something as trivial as that.

I'm not in a very good mood now. Why, it's quite stupid lah so I won't put it up. But really, WHAT'S WRONG WITH SLEEPING IN ON SATURDAY MORNINGS?? Okay, I just realised why. It's being late for Chem tuition, isn't it?? Yeah I don't miss out on the lesson because sometimes/usually it starts late, but you want me to be on time for it anyway. But seriously, don't remain angry for (what I percieve to be this reason) every Saturday lah please. Saturday is like, I-don't-talk-to-you-and-you-don't-talk-to-me day. No point talking if you're gonna reply to any of my queries with "if you're not going to listen to me, I'm not going to talk to you". I get scared, annoyed and occasionaly guilty. I seriously dislike that. Mum I love you, but sometimes I don't get you.

Hmph how's that for a bit of emoness and (what my brain tells me is) pseudo maturity/trying to be nice?? Especially for the last sentence of that para.

Okay whatever. On to happier things.

Yesterday was a happy day. ACES was alright. Be Yourself Day for me was ~~ cause I didn't manage to do the whole runaway bride thing, but thanks Ayeshah for the dress anyway. (: And the sunglasses I brought for the supposed-to-be imitation of Modern Pocahontas kept slipping off my too nice and smooth (HAHAHA) hair. CONGRATS AYESHAH FOR COMING IN SECOND! Pam, Elsa, one or two other twoe-rs and I stood up when you did your first ~~cat~~PIRATE walk on stage if you were wondering, hahaha. You totally deserve what you got man, for all that planning, borrowing and putting together. :D Teachers' Day concert was good, as usual. Though I and every other TKGian certainly wished it didn't end so late. Chionged back to Tampines with Amanda Lim, Wendy and Cheryl Ng (she isn't from St Hilda's, but said she was "bored" so she came along with us). Met Kar Mei at TM to pass her her belated gift. Went back to St Hilda's. Met AVRYLLEESILING, whose voice I haven't heard in months. I was so happy can. Passed her her belated gift too. I REALLY MISSED YOU AVRYL DEAR. Went in to the hall, and Elizabeth (hereafter known as Liz) and Amanda Cheu burst out laughing. Finally FINALLY got my book back. This book in question is a compo-compilation book I lent to Liz in P6. Yes, P6. Met Mr Soong (who doesn't remember my name and age), passed him his stuff. Talked to Dan's Chen lao shi, Mr Song and Mr Zanizam. (The last 2 know/remembered my name, :D) Had noodles from the second stall. (95% of the stall vendors at St Hilda's seem like they've been there for forever) Went up to vandalise the whiteboards in some P6 classrooms with both Amandas, Liz, Cheryl, Sharon and Jasmine. So fun and funny man. And the part when Mrs Simon walked in- hahaha. Went to TM with Liz and and Amanda C. Walked around a lot, met ex St Hildans, sat at Macs, walked aroundsomemore, settled at food court, and finally parted ways at 6. Met Nat and her mum at Tampines MRT, and I chatted with her until I got off the train. Went to Grandma's later.

The highlight of the day, was meeting Avryl. Somehow. Even if it was for just 2 minutes. And seeing people I haven't seen in months. Sure we may not be as close now, but it's still great being able to be crazy with the same people you were crazy with 3 years ago.

St Hilda's was a good 4 and 3 quarter years of my life, and I'd like to say thank you to all the wonderful friends and teachers who made it that way. (:

Before I go,

HAPPY FIFTEENTH GAYATHRI! I hope you enjoyed yourself at the flyer today. (:

Bye!

Hi my dear aunties. (Well it's pretty safe to say no UNCLES read this blog so yeah.)

Yesterday- Got back Chem paper; was surprised AND happy to get a double-digit mark (although it's still a fail). But I feel bad lah. Like, how much attention have I been paying during Chem lessons?? The MCQs were blessed. Thank You God. (I know I've been bad and I owe you 10 000 QTs.) Went to Jurong Island. Some Chem Gallery thing. Quite interesting, but I'm too lazy to read lah. I tried reading about how soap cleans, but I gave up 2/3 way. Too cheem lah. Ohoh. And we the ZOO had a picnic on the bus en-route to Jurong! Everyone (except a certain BAT) brought food, but hey I'm a nice person, and still gave her like 3 slices of bread. So we ate and we were stuffed. Thank you all you Zoo and Non-Zoo people for the munchies man. :) Choir was pretty brief. Went to grandma's for dinner. Cut overgrown fringe, bought kaya. (YES BE NICE TO ME I'M GONNA MAKE KAYA MUFFINS SOON.) Watched that Jack Neo movie on Ah Longs. Quite nice.

Tuesday, 13th- 16:12, and it's the FOURTH time. I give up. Thank you though for all those who ever ran with me and cheered me on- Special mentions to Elsa and Fiona.

Friday, 8th- I'M REALLY SORRY FOR FORGETTING TO BRING THE PLASTIC GLOVES FOR CARNIVAL DAY, AND FOR ANY RESULTING INCONVENEINCE. TM outing with Wendy later was pretty fun. Celebrated Qi's birthday in advance at Grandma's. No photos with the birthday girl in it because my photo policy online is friends/myself/scenery in photos only.

Okay gotta go. Good night.

Manymany things to say.

CAs ARE OVERRRRRRRRRR! Hiphiphooray. (Actually we have English Comprehension tomorrow but no one really cares so yah.)

Thus, now is the short celebratory period, because between now and anytime the teachers are done marking our scripts, is the period I can not care about CAs for a while. When the scripts come back, reality's gonna whack me hard.

Oh. I feel. Popular tonight. Because, Ayeshah, Dian, Thahira, Wendy, Elsa and Dorcas STARTED the conversation on MSN. I don't know why, but I prefer it when people talk to me first either on MSN or SMS. Probably because, it's like yaye they remember me outside school?? Lol I know it sounds weird; smacks of insecurity even, but that's just the way I am.

And, I'm surprised Elsa asked me about my confession today. :O

You know, I just realised how some of the things I believe about myself and others are influenced by the things that happened in sec 1?? It's surprising, but yeah that's the impact you had and have on me.

Highly impressionable, but stubborn all the same.

I think I'm a living, breathing contradiction.

2nd-22nd July

2008-07-22T19:07:00.003+08:00

HELLO. FOR YOUR PATIENCE, YOU WILL BE REWARDED WITH A BLOG POST.

It's been like, 18 days since I last blogged?? That's a longggggg time. What's happened lately??

2 July, Wednesday- O Level CL Oral. Screwed the reading. Went too fast, didn't know how to read too many words. Conversation was on rising costs of living. I could say things, as in like I knew what to say, but couldn't translate them to Chinese. So the examiners would complete my sentences. Pass, yeah. Distinction, the day pigs fly.

10 July, Thursday- Got back the A Math CA. I ALMOST PASSED OKAY. Just 1 more mark. Super disappointing. Although really, how much can I expect if the only revision I do is homework?? Floodgates opened again; I don't know what's wrong with me. But whatever; I've gotten over it now. (And failed both Modulus quizzes given since then. So much for improving. -.-)

11 July, Friday- Ayeshah busted her knee. Poor thing can. She's still on crutches. Get well soon okay superwoman. I hope the physio is double-triple-quadruple effective for you. (:

14-18 July, Monday-Friday: THE WEEK OF THE CAs. 5 of those evil little things can. Although to be fair, you can't prepare for the O Level Chinese Listening Comprehension. I think I major screwed everything up.

17 July, Thursday- Tried out a new A Math tuition class. I was sitting at the seat nearest to the door. Then, someone walks in, and something interesting happens.

"OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??!?"- Thahira Thasnim.

I seriously mean the abovementioned caps and exclamation. Super funny can. The tuition class is, crazy. As in like the guys there are forever talking nonsense, but everyone's able to do the work can. All the trigo things.

19 July, Saturday- Picked mummy up from the airport at night. Thank you for the nice, purple souvenirs mummy! I really like them. And your stories of Hong Kong- super interesting can. Too bad I can't tell the people at school about it.

21 July, yesterday- Cross Country and Zany Green Parade at East Coast Park. Got a flurry of calls and messages before that. Dad sent Wendy and I to the busstop. Walked with Wendy and Si Jia to East Coast. Got there late, but not late enough to be booked. Zany~~ Too lazy to describe lah. But 3E2 got third for Cross Country overall, and I think Agnes snagged one of the top ten so CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD JOB! Cam-whored more than anything else there. Went to Parkway for a KFC lunch with Elsa, Fiona, Si Jia, Farah and Tiffany. Talked a lot. Went back to school for additional Additional Math lessons. (Additional additional. LOL.) Was like falling asleep can. But after the extension part of the lesson I more or less got it lah, so yaye. Thank you Thahira for waiting for forever for me. And for the very sweet post-it! Haha. Bussed back with Ms TT after that.

TODAY ah. Nothing much lah. Just a lot of snowballed homework. Best part is, next week is the CA week. AND I HAVEN'T STARTED MUGGING, SERIOUSLY. The only revision I've done so far is my homework, and sometimes even that is late so yes gongxifacai. I don't know why I'm online.

And a little note. Who knew life would turn out so complicated?? When I was in P6, I wondered what else to Math there was. Never in my life did I think people would come up with ways to manipulate huge, exponential numbers, change curves to lines or solve cubic algebraic identities. Now in secondary school, I've learnt all these (with varying degrees of success), and been given opportunities to experience things I never even dreamt of experiencing. And no, it's not just Math. From the mundane- falling asleep in class, to the exciting- performing for the president and OBS, to the major- people, relationships. I mean, I never expected to be thrown into all this you know?

Pink sang this song, Who Knew. I can't agree more.

3rd-4th July ; Zoo Pictures

2008-07-04T17:53:00.014+08:00

PHOTO UPDATE. (LOL again.) Photos for Kylene's birthday celebration are up! As usual, they're in the May archives.

Andddd. Yesterday's Bio and Chem spa- quite fun actually. Bio was the Effects of Temperature on Photosynthesis. Louise's and my plant was like, LOL kinda loser. It hardly bubbled from the cut end can?? Or maybe, it gave out invisible bubbles?? I don't know lah. Chem was some thing on Acids and Bases?? The colours we came up with were coooooooooool man. What with the gelatinous-looking textures and stinkystinky ammonia. I just wish we'd get some pretty shade of like, PURPLE or pink. Cause the only colours (or PRECIPITATE) we got were white, dirty green, brick red, a really cool blue and yeah. I don't know why the SPA practices stood out so much yesterday. Fun I guess? LOL.

Today's lessons were pretty boring. So. I won't bother elaborating.

OHHHH. And Fiona. Thank you for that super sweet letter yesterday. I reallyreallyreally do not mind you nagging at me lah k. In fact, I feel loved, rather than annoyed when friends do that to me. It's for my own good and future anyway. Thanks for being a great friend all this while okay! I love you many. (:

Ooh. Pictures of the zoo. We don't have a picture with all of us in it, but we do have everyone in at least a couple photos each.

The long and short of it-

WO AI WO BAN DE DONG WU YUAN.

[EDITED 28th June 1733h] ALL FIRST QUARTER PHOTOS HAVE BEEN UPLOADED! New ones are those from the mug session at the bubbletea shop. Just go to the May archives. (LOL I feel like I'm running some online clothes store or something. -.-

Why hello(:

Oh grief I forgot what I wanted to blog about already. -.- Am I old or what.

Went to SingPost with Elsa, Fiona and Marianne yesterday for lunch. (Choir started at 2.30 what.) Ohoh and prior to that, was LEGACY. Found out we have to do a CME project. Like, thanks ah we all love projects. I hope I won't have to burn my Youth Day holiday doing it.

Oooh. And you know the video in the post below?? It makes my blog come to live~~. Like cause there's movement and all you kow? Cause if not usually it's just words. Plain ol' words.

Oh yeah. And thank you Jia Min for the oral notes! Really. So nice of you. Thank you for temporarily admitting I'm a LIVE enzyme. :D

OHHHHHH. We got sample class photos yesterday. Grief. In the formal one, I look tooty. Then in the informal one, half my face is blocked by Nat's arm. Cause that bat was stretching her arms for the bat pose what. Then she shouted from the back of the class "SORRY DEBORAH!" like. LOL. A bit late to say sorry right. But nonetheless, I ordered the 8R for the informal. Cause I think the whole Zoo is seated together for that one. (: (Can't remember if Angie's with us though :O)

Okay lah. I really don't know what else to blog about leh. Think I'll go put up more pictures.

BYE!

Don't Google Me

2008-06-27T00:23:00.003+08:00

It's 0023h now, and I'm typing this on my mum's work laptop. I'm kinda done with the Chinese powerpoint, and need a break online. (The regular desktop can't be used when you want to type in Chinese.) Darn, if you google my name + surname, MY BLOG APPEARS FIRST ON THE SEARCH RESULTS. Noooooooo. Don't do this to me google. I know there are other DL's out there, go put them first on the results page please?? :S I really hope my folks have never (and will never) attempt to look for this blog. I've a feeling they'll read everything. And then, WHAM questioning. I'M NOT PREPARED TO SAY ANYTHING, I learnt my lesson in sec 1. (Not that it was something so horrific or terrible or whatever. But it's still significant.) Subtle nuances have to be the way to go man. Although of course, I've been pretty darn shocked when A CERTAIN then-stranger now classmate told me she read my blog in like sec 1 or 2 and said "EVERYTHING IS SO OBVIOUS LAH." LOL. Okay I know, I'm totally contradicting myself in the next sentence I type. Sorry lah. My brain's kinda short-circuting. I mean, I ran for most part of the 3 rounds we did yesterday, so that sapped an incredible amount of energy. Anyhow. I'm finishing this post, NOW. LOL. Good night to all the people on this side of the earth.

Rascal Flatts- Bless the Broken Road

2008-06-24T18:14:00.004+08:00

Hello. I love Rascal Flatts's Bless the Broken Road. I think it'd make a good wedding song. (Although of course I'm not thinking of that now. There's stoichiometry, guard cells, linear law and a whole lota stuff I have to understand first.)

Oh. And. Did I say? O LEVEL CL ORAL IS ON NEXT WEDNESDAY. That's a mighty lot of time to prepare huh.

Gongxifacai.

Homework with the ZOO at Nat's

2008-06-17T21:20:00.004+08:00

Okay blogthingssssssss. :D

Your Slogan Should Be

What Happens in Deborah, Stays in Deborah

The Slogan Generator

Yeah true. Until I decide to spill everything. -.- Totally contradictory I know.

So, highlight of today was going to NatBat's house. Was late in meeting AyeshahAnt, FionaPiranha and Nat again. -.- There, found out that E Math is due only in week 3, but continued doing it anyway. I don't like doing one subject halfway then moving on to another before completing the first. (Although as of now I've done a miserable 2 questions for A Math.) And if I'm not wrong, it's the first lesson we have next Monday. -.- What nonsense. So anyway for E Math, I was staring at this trigo question for like 1 hour, and when I finally finished it, I checked the answers, and realised I was doing the same (dumb) question a second time. !!?! How intelligent. But anyway. At the dining table we did our work at, everything was good. I think Nat and Ayeshah said they managed to do quite a bit of work right? And. Nat was her usual self- singing, conducting and smiling to herself. (LOL Ayeshah the last thing when watching what she video-ed of Nat later, HAHAHA) Lunch was yum. The pizza was like, a perfectly-formed circle please. (Thank you Nat's mum!) So unlike what we did last Thursday. (Although I'm still thankful for the help okay!) So yeah basically we were a happy bunch. Checking out Nat's room and throwing her baby pillow and bloster around, singing along with iPod and handphone playlists, talking, gosiping, laughing and of course, doing homework. FIONA WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GO BACK SO EARLY. :( We decided to slack off at about 5++. So the Ant, Bat and Bull (yours truly) went down to the basement gym and had a lot of fun exercising (and eating cookeis, HAHAHA) there. Seriously. Like Ayeshah was teaching Nat the various push-up methods, and it was super funny. NAT'S HOUSE IS SERIOUSLY COOL MANZXS. (And you thought bats lived in trees:O) Left at about 6.30 with Ayeshah. Thanks for walking with me to Avryl's k! (: Hand-delivered Avryl's letter, made my way home. Have been online almost ever since.

Nat! Thanks for hosting us today. It was really fun. :D

Okay I'm going. Stupid pile of holiday homework. Pfft.
