i haven't updated in a long time.
well school's really fun with sheeyin and joseph! they're our very first class scandal. i guess waiyen and mark don't count haha. waiyen and i had an agreement not to tease each other about scandals so i guess i HAVE to say that right? ;)
so anyway we bought a flower for sheeyin - no actually stephie did - and i wrote her a really mushy love letter. supposedly from joseph. even though they didn't sit together during physics - yep mr beetsma was part of the plan and he loved helping! - we still put the flower in sheeyin's bag! she said she had a good time laughing. sheesh that's like a 0 on the romance scale. but well. she said she used my mushy letter as rough paper for mathematics. i bet shakespeare didn't have to put up with that! >:( haha oh never mind. practise makes perfect.
zhixue loves this whole scandal thing. he's really pro at making you feel embarrassed. like in kfc! argh he made jeremy c and i feel so so bad! well zhixue you die on monday! i know u're dying for your very own scandal partner so you'll get your wish soon! hrmph.
genevieve gave zx a watermelon but he didn't want it so i took it home. it's still in my kitchen. tsk tsk. he was so eager to unload it onto me too. i hope it's nice. :)
stephie brought her camera on friday so we had fun taking a few silly photographs around school and in lt5! haha so fun. :) can't wait to see the photos yeah. we had some really silly poses too. especially the one where all of us were pretending to be mesmerised by claire's handphone.
but basically i'm really getting into this whole jc system of lectures and tutorials and 35-min breaks. getting quite used to it. yay! it's likeable, really. except our new math tutor treats us like infants. she actually checks our tutorials every single lesson. so primary school! but other than that school's great.
oh yeah and i discovered my angel's identity! jeffrey from band. :) turns out that i'm supposed to have another angel, patrick, but he's too busy with his 3 s papers and retaining his 4 As and science research project and whatnot so jeffrey adopted me. :) phew. ha people like patrick intimidate me. imagine what he would write in his letter. -_- it'd would probably be beyond comprehension anyway. i'd have to refer to the dictionary for every other word. ouch.
strings is great. we're sounding better. lyndsey was the only conscientious one who cut out the scores. -_- oops. oh well. i wonder if vjse has a shot at the gold for syf? the technical difficulty of our pieces isn't too impressive though. :S well i hope we make history anyway.
ursa banner painting next thursday! sheesh so many banners to paint in victoria. it's practically their school culture or something. i'd die if string ensemble has a banner to paint as well.
this entry's getting kinda long. and i still have stuff to write. that'll teach me not to update for a week!
hm something happened today. i'm not sure if i'm happy about it but i know it's for the best. argh but i guess i finally understand what george orwell meant when he wrote "everything changes yet everything stays the same" in animal farm. yeah i guess i'm sad but i know i'll get over it. and i really hope for the best for everyone.
well better sign off here. music theory class tomorrow! eeks.
"no matter how hard i try, you're gonna make me cry. c'mon baby it's over let's face it. all that's happening here is the long goodbye. are you ever coming back again? guess i'm never coming back again." -the long goodbye, ronan keating

yay class dinner today. actually we wanted it to be a class lunch but we ended up painting the chinese new year banner the whole afternoon. haha it was pretty. mark had this great idea. so we painted one rooster and loads of chicks. and the message was, have a productive new year. ha sheesh! but it was adorable. thanks mark! and good job 05s16!
then we went to mcdonalds for dinner. well clara and sheeyin and dennis and waiyen were making such a lot of noise! thought that lady would come over and tell us off. but apparently she didn't. hope she wouldn't complain to the school though! she looked so annoyed. well if she does we'll just fake ignorance and innocence. :) but dinner was fun. zhixue and steph and claire and i came up with so many class scandals. woo! so fun. haha.
but the bus ride home on bus 31 was so super long! hm. and to think edwin keeps recommending that route to me. -_- ha but i had ashwin for company. :) and he helped me with my ct council particulars form. yay! i have quite a few politically correct answers stuck in my head now. which reminds me. i have ct council interview on monday. why do we even need an interview? so scary! i signed up for monday 4.30 pm. it's the only time i'm available. i hope i don't just walk off happily after pe. must remember. must. remember. hope they wouldn't ask anything too challenging. :S
i met ashwin's friend sammy, who's also a ct rep. yay. at least i know someone from ct council now! besides yvonne and julian, of course. :) i was getting quite nervous about it too.
tomorrow's hari raya! which reminds me of something jasper told me. he said when he was in acjc he had a triple block of chinese on friday, which explains why he's always conveniently absent. then one day his chinese teacher asked him why he was never in school on fridays and he said he had to go to the mosque to pray. and his teacher was like oh ok. -_- like hello?! how dumb can a teacher get huh. sheesh.
i'm sooo tired. gotta play the piano then go to bed. good night! happy hari raya. happy birthday sel + weisheng. :)

pe wasn't that bad. it was mainly a whole load of rubbish. but not that much running so yay!
our gp project is a whole load of giggles and not much content i think! argh better get our act together. :) mr lee tried his best to help us but kept contradicting himself! so we were terribly and hopelessly confused. first he said something about a law to prevent parents with young children from divorcing, so the child wouldn't be psychologically damaged. then he said something about it not being beneficial to prolong unhappy marriages. eer rrright. so we're still unsure about our stand. -_-
class outing on thursday! wanna go to east coast park. :) then we can sit by the beach and talk and play cards or something. woo. plus it's inexpensive so we don't have to worry about costs. i hope the rest of the class agrees. :)
lyndsey's uniform was so tight-fitting! haha she's so skinny. oh well. :) never mind it was fun swapping! lyndsey was my desk partner for half of strings. she's really good! we hardly got lost. :) then later this j2 guy named joshua came in so we all had to move. lyndsey shared the stand with the nanyang girl next to her and i shared with him. he's quite nice and very talkative. and i'm not exactly very quiet myself. so now i think i know more about acsi and vjc than the concerto grosso we were playing. and he was eating prawn crackers all through rehearsal too. yummy. :) at one point we switched violins then the conductor was talking about how we should switch phone numbers too or something. hrmphx. so embarrassing! i almost died. we weren't even talking THAT much.
the string ensemble pieces sounded really good though! woah. and one piece sounded like it was straight out of a lord of the rings movie or something. woo. totally cool. i wasn't too hot for the concerto grosso though. it was quite nice but boring. the pieces weren't difficult either, which is super ideal. :) esp since this year is violin exam year. argh i hate scales.
it's getting late. i better go offline now. :)

argh clara's uniform doesn't fit me nicely! and yuewen is so skinny. oh well so much for being a dunmanian. hoying doesn't wanna switch and samantha's uniform doesn't fit me either. so much for being a paya lebar methodist girl too. maybe i'll switch uniforms with yvonne! woo. haha.
i'm switching uniforms with lyndsey tomorrow for strings! so exciting! ok so here's the plan: i'll change after pe into my rg uniform, go to the strings room, then we both go to the toilet and swap! so i'll leave an rg girl and return as an anglican girl! haha. lyndsey sounds quite excited about it too! yay!
argh every time i say a girl is chio everyone thinks i'm lesbian. every time i say a guy's cute everyone thinks i like him! hrmph. stop making something out of nothing! *as quoted by yuewen. :)*
pe was terrible today. i wasn't even tired but i had a stitch on my first round! *must be dennis's chocs hee hee* so i couldn't run properly. so frustrating!
alvin didn't write back. argh. and watching dennis get angel-mortal letters 24/7 is really hard for us girls. :( and each time he gets a letter he smiles radiantly. -_- haha all the girls love to write and all the guys hate letters. well they like getting letters but hate writing. so unfair.
yay jasper's helping me later with frustrating chemistry redox equations. and my gp project. argh he's precisely what a jc student needs! thanks da ge. :)
better go now. gotta do tutorials. hm. i hope pe tomorrow won't be too terrible! or we'll all die. at least zhongyi's my running partner. i can always count on her to encourage me! :)

my angel's letter consists of half a page. hrmphx it took him four days to write half a page. that's like two lines a day haha. and he signed off as fiR3f1ght3r. well. but he sounds pretty nice so i'm ok with it. :)
haha zhiyong and i are like the only victorians online now. all the rest are at the bbq. argh suddenly i wished i've gone! and i was still so sure i wouldn't go when daryl asked. :( but i was so tired after painting the silly china dolls for chinese new year. and i didn't want my dad to make noise. so i went home and slept for quite long. and woke up with this urge to go to the bbq.
argh so sad now! :(
oh about the silly china dolls. all the ct and assistant ct reps had to stay back after school and paint chinese new year decorations. and it was so amusing! i was painting with jinglin and siling (from tao nan yeah :D). the china dolls looked quite adorable, really. but all the male dolls were wearing pink and yellow clothes!? they looked androgynous. and this group added two red circles to a doll's cheeks so it looked like some chinese vampire from hell. :) but overall i didn't really mind painting. it was just the silly chinese teacher who walked around screaming at us. and saying how we should have used newspaper to prevent us from getting paint on the floor. and if there's colour on the floor we'll have to mop it up. and how we weren't allowed to use our creativity when painting the dolls. and how the colours were wrong. and how we couldn't give the dolls belts. hello there's actually quality control?! in the first place the dolls weren't exactly what anyone would call stunning. and she didn't even thank us for helping her. never mind the ct council was pretty nice about it. and jinglin added ruffles to the ribbons on the doll's hair so if we walked past our masterpiece on chinese new year we'd know it. sheesh. :)
my dog looks better today. he's actually smiling a little. yay. and when he looked at me after dinner he laughed so i'm alright with it i guess. his limp is still pretty bad but i think he'll be alright. :)
lyndsey and i started writing letters because our strings angels appear to have gone into hiding. i don't understand why people don't like writing letters! i love writing letters. and receiving letters. so anyway now that we started writing letters so we actually have a reason to check the strings board. :) whee ben just said he'll adopt me.
yay well after school today sheeyin screamed yay friday is over it's the weekend! in front of the teacher. argh she's so cute. :)
thanks to the wonderful class of 05s16 i'm actually looking forward to school on monday?! but so not looking forward to pe. :( i'll be swapping uniforms with clara so i'll be a dunmanian for lectures. i was a tkgs girl for biology lecture today. thanks to stephanie. everyone said i didn't look like one. :( hope i'll be a convincing dunmanian yeah. ;)

argh it's such a sad day for me.
my darling dog got knocked down by a car so he's limping around. and he looks drugged and sad. :( aaw. and he's still barking at strangers at the gate. he's so endearing hm. hope he'll heal fast.
argh school was pretty monotonous i guess. getting into the routine. 05s16, remember to give ur angels their letters in morning assembly! if u guys keep giving me letters in class i have to waste smses arranging to meet 04s16! then u guys have to pay my sms bill! so yes. :)
yay shawn said that my angel gave him my letter! finally i have an angel letter! whee! so excited. and alvin wrote back to me! whee. this is such pure bliss.
sheeyin had this brilliant idea actually. she thought we should guilt our angels into writing to us! like this:
dear weiting's and waiyen's and stephanie's and claire's and whoever-didn't-get-letters' angels,
hi. i'm really glad you're my angel. i think you'd be really lovely to write to! anyway just to thank you i'm giving u these chocolates. *attaches ferrero rocher* i really hope u like them. do u? if u don't i can always buy u another!
love, 05s16
our angels will feel so guilty about neglecting us that they're bound to write. or so sheeyin claims. then we decided it was so desperate and sad. so we didn't. hm. but sheeyin still maintains that it's an ingenius idea. really. she even announced her brilliant plan to her angel really proudly. hm.but since my angel has written to me i am satisfied. even though he is soo late.
and something really annoying happened! i went for lunch with edwin today since he lives so near me and nobody else in my class lives at tanah merah. and then we bumped into two of his silly ingole friends and they thought i was his girlfriend! then they said he's so pro can get a girlfriend so fast yada yada yada. like hello please grow up. not every boy you talk to is your boyfriend. grr that was so primary school. i just hope they keep their mouths shut during the og bbq tomorrow! samuel sounds like he's all for fanning the flames! haha hope he's joking. he probably is haha. :) thank you for helping me clarify matters, sam. <-- reverse psychology.
anyway i'm going to sleep soon hm. hope everyone has a good friday tomorrow. hang in there guys, only one more day to the weekend!

haha so much for being the model student. i fell asleep while ms ng was going throught the lab safety rules. and ate a sweet after signing some agreement that i wouldn't consume anything in the science lab.
and i put the letter meant for my strings mortal into the pile of letters addressed to the senior class. so everyone will be wondering about the new addition to 04s16. argh so blur.
my angel hasn't written to me yet. please write to me.
other than that school was fine. but it's so difficult to stay awake during mr beetsma's lessons! his voice is so calm and soothing. zzzz. oh yesterday i fell asleep in his lesson at 1200. he was going through random errors. i woke at 1215 and guess what? he was still on random errors. and the section on random errors is like pfft. u get what i mean.
and ben was surprisingly right. the strings auditions weren't that bad. and the conductor is so cute and friendly too. :) i only played a major and d major. instead of the diminished sevenths i was expecting. i messed up a bit of sight reading because i was nervous, but other than that it was fine i guess. so now i'm officially in string ensemble. wow. they're playing angel-mortal too. so now i have to write to 4 people. guess i'll put ct sessions to good use. :D
and i'm officially in ct council too.
i've finished all my tutorials. :) oh alright then, all the tutorials that i know how to do. jasper's been helping me with my work so much. thanks da ge!
my legs and shoulders are aching so much. thanks to pe. circuit training or something. ouch. i hope they'll be better tomorrow. climbing up and down stairs has been excrutiating.
i'll go to sleep soon. so i can stay awake during mr beetsma's lesson tomorrow and be a good girl. :) good night!

so far it's been a pretty good first day.
tutorials = zzzz
lectures = ZZZZ
but still i shall try to stay awake and be a good girl. :) i am 05s16's model student. yeah right.
jc kinda reminds of rgs because we don't have fixed classrooms. like in sec one and two. and we have to wander all over the school lugging our bags with us. well. i'm getting quite nostalgic.
i miss the rgs koi pond and those colourful lockers and the trips to the toilet with stef. and the pavilion and staffroom phones and bugging miss christina. i miss climbing up five flights of stairs every morning and taking bus 190 to orchard road and sleeping in the school bus. i guess i just miss rgs.
filiae melioris aevi.
ooh pe was so horrible! no exercise for like the whole dec hol, and suddenly we have to run ten thousand rounds around the hall?! and cross country begins soon. argh. i'm so dead. if physical education was the education we received i'd be less educated than my dog.
and tomorrow is the wretched strings auditions. so frustrating! i've been practising my ridiculous scales for ages already. but it's quite impossible to pack two years worth of scales in one night. i've never bothered about scales, not even during abrsm examinations, and suddenly the strings audition is based on scales. well. i'm presently begging ben to go easy on me for the scales bit haha. oh he just told me it's only one scale. -_- wasted my whole night! argh. but well yay i'm happy now. i'm not going to bother about that one scale because i'll probably mess it up anyway. so my violin goes back into the case.
well gotta go pack my bag. i hope i don't forget to bring anything. i forgot to bring the purple notebook jasper gave me for christmas today, and i was feeling so lost without it. well good night everyone.

so ends a great week at victoria.
the campus rocks the people rule. yay. i'm quite glad i decided to come here.but i didn't on the first day because i didn't know anyone from my flick. neither did i know any rgs girl who came to vj well, with the exception of sam soh and ka hei and yawen. and i was close to tears like half the time. it was so bad gr. then later i realised the people in my flick are pretty nice and so are my classmates and civics tutors so it got much better.
i have an rgs girl in my class. sheeyin. she used to be in 409 so at least she is a familiar face. the campus is cool all the time because of the sea breeze. i do so hope that i'll remain in vjc.
but i don't really like the culture. maybe it's not just vjc culture, just a s16 and corsair thing. it seems like everything's boy-girl. i'm fresh outta a girl's school and already i had to lick someone's earlobe/kiss a guy/let a guy hug me. and all supposedly in the name of fun. i thought it was pretty mean to force these kinda things. ggrr. and daryl said that 75% of the vjc population are attached. well after looking at what kinda forfeits they give you it's not really a surprise is it. but something tells me daryl's exaggerating. a lot. :)
but other than that everything's cool. even the seawater. whee we went to the beach on friday. argh all that sea breeze and salt water must be bad for you. but it was so fun.orientation really rocked. all i need is for the rest of my jc life to be a quarter as good and i'll be alright.
victoria, thy sons are we and we will not forget. corsair -- aye aye captain!

yahoo today is new years day.
it doesn't feel any different, really. maybe it's because i was stuck at home doing stupid theory homework yesterday while everyone else was somewhere happening counting down. -_- but well. i've never been to a countdown before! ouch.
i'll be going to the country club later for dinner. :) yay that'll be the only nice thing happening today. it's been so cold and dreary and miserable. and raining on and off. and violin lesson did nothing to cheer me up! if anything it's made my day worse. i hate svensen too. i might like him better if the exam piece was in nothing but first position. :) i wish.
my nail polish is not setting either. we ran out of canned fruits so we had to put yucky sea coconut into the konnyaku jelly. today's just all wrong. hm. it's days like this that make me wish school'll reopen. anything's better than this! hrmphx.
i'm in such a lousy mood.
i wonder what monday will bring? hopefully nothing too exciting. maybe we'll just sign up for our desired subject combinations and go home. :) but well. then where does the pe kit that we were instructed to bring come in? at least corsair is a nice group to be in. it's such a pretty name. haha.
happy 2005.
