Advertisements are useless, boring and annoying.

What a boring topic. There is seriously no way I'm gonna be interested in writing this essay.


OhMyGoodness I passed my chem aptitude test but was asked by Ms Seah if I wanted to drop the subject. Obviously, I said no. Heard that Mrs Koh told someone that she had to drop biology. OhDearOhDear.

I am a very careless person. So careless that after spotting a careless mistake and changing my answer, I could still make a careless mistake a few steps down. And yes, it was basic differentiation.
Us math remedial students were told that we were going to have the trigo (aptitude?) test next friday. Then Mrs Heng realised that dismissal time was at 12.40pm sharp that day. That means that we'll have to have the test on thursday. Big. Frickin'. Liew.
Being exposed to Mrs Heng for long periods is rather unhealthy. Was chatting with KuanYee about nothing in particular when i suddenly pronounced 'blank' as 'bRank'. GreatGosh. Shall throw myself off a cliff if i start pronouncing words her way.


I. Hate. Playing. Xiao. Bai. Nian.
......
It must be the most annoying Chinese New year song ever. It's so silly repeating the song twice, and the tune is just horrid. But of course, that's my opinion.
Was one of the people who had to audition the sec1s. The first guy i auditioned was... odd. I know people who play the piano find it hard to get a proper grip on the erhu, but the guy really could not grasp the hu. Being the compulsive-obssessive self that I am, the fact that he wasn't holding the erhu properly between his thumb and index finger bugged me so much that I kept pointing it out to him. Most of the sec1s wanted to join percussion. OhMyGoodness the next generation of CO members might be a group of i-wanna-join-percussion-or-i-quit people. I swear i thought I only saw three people on the list who wanted to join strings. Jiamin managed to cajole this girl with funky spectacles to joined strings, Yay!
Anyhoo, didn't have enough time to decorate the noticeboard today so i just changed to background. It currently has a green and orange background. Retro-ness; I like. =))) it just lacks the polka dot element. heh.
Oh and thanks to JiaMin, we now have Chinese Orchestra written in a very nice font. Heck, there's even the oh-so-abstract mandarin version; Rui Shi Chun Hua Yue Tuan. I love abstract and retro stuff =DDD
*Cue in retarded grin.

The mere thought of the upcoming holiday is making everyone act even weirder than they usually do.

Anyone interested in buying tickets to our concert? Tickets anyone?

The CCa recruitment drive was boring. Boring, boring, boring. We didn't really have to bring so many erhus there cos we didn't even have to play anything. We were only required to drag the sec1s to our booth. The band was so grand, marching in and having people sing. But their songs got boring during the second half of the first day. The costume worn by the chinese dance was nice, but rather amusing it made them look like a row of asparagus. The only bearable part was the malay dance's modern dance which made use of missy elliot's 'lose control'.
While i was wandering around the hall watching members of the performing arts CCA pounce the poor, unsuspecting sec1s, this sec3 girl suddenly approached me and asked
"Do you want to take a look at choir?"
Of course, i was most amused by this, and started giggling madly, and Joyce asked her whether she would like to have a look at the CO's booth. One of them who was sharper suddenly noticed that this sec1 of hers had low socks and a shirt which was half untucked (not to mention fringe which most definitely did not belong on a sec1s head).
Okay, so I am short, but i most certainly do not think that I look like a sec1. Hmphh.


Ms Xu asked me to decorate the noticeboard for Chinese New Year. Just in case you have been blind for the past few months you haven't noticed, the noticeboard has been looking extremely pathetic due to the fact that both yiting and I are extremely uncreative. Went to Popular to buy the materials. I was most appalled when Clarrissa and Joyce suggested that we use red, orange and yellow. As if the CCA Chinese Orchestra doesn't make you think "Ooooo, cheena-dom!!" That colour scheme is so gonna resemble the logo of a certain bah kwa company in Singapore. Decided break away from tradition and use yellow and tan (both metallic). Couldn't find a tan-coloured vangard though, so I had to settle for this orange background and a metallic yellow (gold actually border). OhMyGoodness, that so does not match. Luckily i found some red packets at home which were almost the shade of tan. Haven't actually thought of how to decorate the board though.


Was caught by Mdm Tang today cos of my fringe, so i had to clip them up. After clipping them up, Vanessa suddenly exclaimed that I looked cute & girly.
...... OHMYGOODNESS.
I think the word cute really cannot be used to describe me, and most definitely not the word girly. And believe me, she wasn't the only one who gave that comment. Only Clarrissa said i looked stupid. Hell, she's just jealous that I'm more cute & girly than she is =DDDDDD Naw i'm just kidding.
But seriously, I looked quite alright. It was only after recess, during biology that the puny clips couldn't hold up my curtains-for-fringes and everything tumbled down. Then I looked like some disheveled punk. That carried on till CO when i got kinda annoyed by the strands of hair tickling me so i took them off.
Oh, and i absolutely DETEST the chapter on eyeballs. It is so boring. Though i would really love to do the practical and cut up the eye of a sheep/cow?? =)))) Yes, i am a morbid person.
Mrlee forgot to practice the NewYear songs with us. OhMyGoodness. So we're gonna practice it thia friday. OH GREAT. Now i've to stay back after CO to decorate the noticeboard. Bah.


Wanted to blog about Project Runway, but it's late and I have to sleep cos i have to wake up early tomorrow to copy homework and like they say, the early bird catches the worm. Pah, since when was I into such mumbo-jumbo. Bleagh.

Just finished my powerpoint presentation for the ninth time. The holiday destination i chose was on Italy, and omg, i so wanna go there after seeing all the pictures of italy. It looks like it belongs to some mystical world of faeries. Totally picturesque. To save myself from the embarrassment (of sounding like a bimbotic poodle), i shall shut up now.


Anyhoo, my im supposed to be doing the emcee script for concert (the english version of course). I must either be using the wrong keywords, because it is almost impossible to find the synopsis for almost all the songs in fact, my current count is zilch. The synopsis is the least of my concerns, since i can translate it from the chinese script. It's the name of the songs I'm more concerned about. Found out that Fei Tian is called 'Flying Apsaras'. I mean, wth does apsaras mean? I can't even find it in dictionary.com.
OhMyGoodnessThisIsEvenHarderThanIImaginedItWouldBe.
Oh and i just found out that Shuqing and I would be demonstrating for the Sec1 CCA recruitment thingie. Now I wasn't really perturbed because I thought we would only be required to stand around and propagate the greatness of the erhu. Obviously it's not as simple or i wouldn't be complaining in this post. Was told by Joyce that we've to play a short tune. I don't think Shuqing is aware of that yet.
OhMyGoodness.


I hate rainy days. My mom has this annoying habit of shutting all the windows when it rains. Therefore, we are enclosed in a house without fresh air, breathing in each others body gases. Mighty spiffy isn't it? *Gasp*Choke*Die
Speaking about breathing in toxic fumes produced by fellow homo sapiens, i must get this off my chest:


I HATE THE AIR-CONDITIONED CLASSROOMS.

The air is always so stale, and the sound of whispering is magnified tenfold, hence allowing teachers to be able to hear what we say (with the exception of Mrs Heng).


Anyhoo, shall go do my other assignments now.

My laptop is fried. It's cooling fan-thingie malfunctioned. Am using my Dad's laptop right now and I can't read a single freaking system message. My Dad has this annoying software that converts English to Mandarin. So here I am, sitting in front of his laptop trying very very hard to figure out the damn chinese words. I swear my father is not sending my laptop for repair for the sole purpose of forcing me to read Mandarin.
Oh and i found out that Yongmei's back. Which is great. (((=



My Mother Tongue teacher is hilarious. She has incredibly poor taste. Her choice of dresses, skirts and blouses beat Pat Lau's flat, and her hair resembles that of a bird's nest. What's more, she acts (and looks) a lot like Hsu-Chun-Mei. But i kinda like her, even though her Mandarin is oh-so cheemnologised. She's kinda cool too, revealing her age and admitting that she's more than half a century old, terming herself as "half-an-antique". Oh, her English is rather good too. She managed to get the attention of the 4e4/4e6 class. Kudos to her. Heck, i even remembered one of her cheem phrases. But i don't think she'll allow me bring my composition home to finish =((( Oh wells, she's cool anyway.


After my first Math lesson with Mrs Heng, I have realised that my face is waaay too expressive.
The first lesson was on Differentiation. She gave us notes and wasted 5minutes talking about Isaac Newton and some other guy with the name Leibniz and about the petty dispute that their supporters had with each other due to some inane calculus theory. Then she went on to talk about tangents, emphasising repeatedly that the phrase had to be 'Tangent to the curve', and our tenses had to be correct. After babbling some more stuff, she was only left with ten minutes to teach Differentiation. Efficient, no? Oh and she has a knack of making things so much more complex than they actually are. She was doing the whole limits thing and all, and i had no idea whatsoever as to what she was babbling about. Went back to read the textbook and understood everything perfectly. No wonder i didn't understand in class. You tell me, right hand side of the equation how can suddenly divide by (dx) without showing the same on the left hand side of the equation? No wonder in I so blur lah.
Yes, Math makes me speak Singlish.
Anyhoo, back to my over-zealous facial muscles.
Was spotted by Mrs Heng as being 'uncomfortable' with Differentiation. Jasmine told me after that, that my the expression on my face when i didn't understand the lesson was incredibly obvious. OhMyGawd, first lesson leh. You tell me how I'll survive the rest of the year. YOU TELL ME HOW??!!
But seriously, Mrs Heng is quite a good teacher...During remedials anyway. In class, she's like a machine gun, words spitting out so quickly that my brain doesn't even have time to absorb the information.
]Note to self: Arrange myself a botoxing session before every Math lesson.



Was reading the book which Swiss Cottage publishes annually to showcase students essays and artwork. As expected, i only read the English essays. There is a reason why Biology students are in Bio class -for the simple fact that they cannot write great essays. Reading their essays (well not all, but most of them) are akin to reading reports. Repetitive and monotonous. The use of connective phrases hardly vary, and they don't have that certain feel which makes you think 'Great gosh! This essay is beautiful!'. Well, i guess that's why Bio students are in Bio class.
*Suddenly thinks: OMG. Aren't I from a Bio class?!



Oh i think weizhe shall one day have a fit while trying to make us play zhanma. We had to practice it today, and it was so not-together that he asked a few of us up to the front to listen to how we sounded. And truthfully, it was rather messy.
OhMyGawd, there're just 3months to the concert.
