9:50 PM
hahah i finally have some time to type a post!! Well firstly, here's what kept me so busy:
alll 70 of them... invites for our prefects' investiture.
First we had gone on with the plan my comm had come up with and the product was great, but it took too much time and by the time paul decided to change the plans we had already finished 32 of it. However, we still killed all of them but i managed to convince him to keep at least the perfect ones, about 8 of them... Yep so here they are. Okay!! So on valentine's day, i went to CHIJ toa payoh, made some friends there, they are very nice people i must say, i guess it's because it's a Christian school. Justin wanted to do a barter trade for the badges, but then we realised we had to wear ours for total defence day the next day, so well.. (and the head girl isn't as stone as paul. :P)
yesterday i went to plmgs to deliver the invite, but only managed to see the clerk =.+ matthias met his friend there, some debate person... then i went to maris stella to see miss ang and my teachers. Was treated to the 'purple passion' joke by mr marcus koe. Took us on a ride for like 20 min... After that i went down to orchard to have lunch and walk about with my friends. Told jeremy the purple passion 'joke', yea it's a joke to the person who tells it. And i realised how long i have never held a balloon before... Went home at 5pm++ because of the hell lot of work i have left to do.
Now i have finished compiling my ultimate history notes worth 6 pages, so i have finished revising history for the test in wk 9, jus need to look through again. I finished my si1 han2, did the ERP assignment, chemistry worksheet. HAHAHAA :D
Left with revision for maths and going through all the formulas that miss peh um... *taught yea. Have to memorise them; the blog for english still isn't done, i have to read up on enzymes before mrs lau shoots us again when school reopens. Arghhh this sux!! 6 tests in week 9 ZOMG. Siannn arr.

2:54 PM
The recess bell had already gone for 10 minutes and my teacher was still holding us back, recapping with us what had been learnt in the day’s lesson. There was a storm raging in our hearts, though on the outside we had seemed most angelic. My partner grumbled, “Walao… when is she going to finish lor? You think we want to answer your questions so much ah? Basket. We just want to eat our recess lar.”
I gave an approving nod and continued staring down at my notebook, in which all my assignments and tasks for the days ahead were recorded down so that I could plan ahead; in particular I was looking at the page for week number 9. I was contemplating how I would study for the 5 tests scheduled in week 9, figuring how to complete my entire load of assignments in 2 days just before the Lunar New Year, how long it would take to assemble the last of the 70 invitations for the Prefects’ Investiture just around the bend and lastly, probably the most importantly, wondering when the teacher was going to release us for our recess.
Soon the discussion, which apparently seemed not to be making any progress, ended. The teacher delivered the final blow as she unsheathed the last sword from her bag: the Extensive Reading Programme (ERP) assignment. Unable to hold his emotions any longer, my classmate cried out, “Walao! What is this ma’am! We have like 5 tests in week 9, then we don’t have the time to go study this, study that, and now you still come and torture us like that? Like what the…”
This was followed by a synchronized exclamation of the word, ‘walao’. She did not attempt to reason, but gave out the papers with an exaggerated smile on the face, ‘Take this as your New Year present then.’
We were finally released and my classmates all sped frantically down the length of the corridor, in fear that no more food would be left for them...…
“Eh guys, if you don’t want to listen to me ar, then you don’t learn anything in the end, end up you cannot do your test in week 9, don’t come and blame me okay?”
This was followed by silence almost immediately. Somehow, I felt closer to him as compared to our English teacher, and the class probably felt so too.
“Kay. Now we can start our lesson. Quick, quick, everyone take out your worksheet or not no time to finish.”
Our chemistry teacher continued with his lesson, teaching with his army-cum-singaporean styled speech, which we had no trouble understanding. He was only 22 years old this year and was waiting for his university term to start.
At the end of the lesson, he distributed a piece of worksheet and instructed the class to complete it by tomorrow. As usual, we complained. This time round, the response was largely different. “Your test is like, week 9, I give you some practice you still don’t want to do? So little some more, go home like 10 minutes can gao dim₁.”
Satisfied with the response, I filed up the worksheet neatly, while I saw, in the corner of my eye, a crumpled piece of the ERP assignment lying in a corner of the room.
Hhaa that was my ERP assignment... dunno whether i should edit it, cos it's kinda informal. but again, the topic is: How does your language and that of your peers differ from that of a different generation of speakers, or indeed, of another culture? Write a personal narrative essay reflecting on this issue. Yeaaa i am rushing out all my work today and tomorrow so that i can have a peaceful Lunar New Year... haii, will type more later. Dinner!

Argghhh have been sleeping at 12.30am++ this week from Monday till now, not used to it. See lar, should not have cultivated the habit of sleeping late. Not that i wanted it, but we have to get the invites for prefects' invest done by this week (and we are continuing to make it tomorrow: the entire day sian.) That's the reason why i have been sleepy in class this entire week, but not to the extent of sleeping in class like zong yi haha. Affected my training today... swam really really slowly in the 10X2 sprints.
As for the invites, i need like 100 backings and 140 gears... but on thursday we only cut out 25 backings and 28++ gears. The thing is that jiahao has already cut more since. and yea thx jiahao!! (if you ever visit that is.) Tomorrow's board soccer!! didn't really prepare for it, but guess i can be the keeper or mid fielder again... yea i will run all over the field like a mad dog till i am tired.
I went for house day today, so i got to see all the sec 1 moorians. It feels really good to see people in the same shoes as you were like 2 years back and suddenly i realise that i only have less than 2 years left in RI. Was watching the video Stanley made, with the ex captains in it, and all our seniors. arghhh okay dun get emo now. Shall play winning eleven. And i haven't set up another blog to do my current affairs 'blog'. diao who on earth will actually do a blog on current affairs!! haii. perhaps i will try livejournal this time round for a change.
10:21 PM
i've just removed the sun from my msn nick, and i think i am one of the last few to do so, well at least on my contact list at least... Felt quite sad when i did it, was wondering how easily people can be forgotten, just like that. That person died some time back, about a few weeks i guess and everyone put a sun in their nicknames to remember this person, but soon, we all are removing it. haii... I don't want to be forgotten just like that in the future too. should i leave the sun on?
