i am finally home yes yes i made it home alive!!!!

with a headache, nonetheless, i shall blog. wahahahahs.

now where's my file. *scrabbles*

this week has come and gone with many many many interesting events. let me start with tuesday.

tuesday, day one of actual lessons. had civics, smsed ian to meet up for physics but apparently he didn't read my message, and i ended up sitting with louis and yong teck somewhere at the back. yong teck was learning card tricks! haha i know how he does some of his tricks, but the rest just mystify me. after that we had two periods of fmaths. sat with chun hoe, who promptly fell asleep. he shared his mp3 player with me. i have to admit, ms yeah seems a great teacher, but she's a little strict, especially when it comes to punctuality and uniform. after that, mr chew took over the lecture for mathematical induction, but it seemed more of he was talking to himself.. but i guess i've got the hang of mathematical induction, it's pretty simple. after all it's a math c topic. after fmaths was pe. all we did was take height and weight. man, i really have to watch my weight.. ._. had break, then went for physics lab lesson where we basically did nothing except listen to ms chia talk. gp was a killer. i didn't know who was in my gp class except yong teck, so i went o the class with him. after that, while ms yap took attendance, it was discovered that one guy in my class, jian shun, was missing! it's kind of sad actually because not a single person in class likes him. he has a wierd personality but i guess he's just trying to fit in too.. aren't we all? got scolded by ms yap for leaving him behind, but honestly, no one knew that he was in the same gp class as us! after close to fifteen minutes jian shun walked into class, claiming that he:
1) got lost,
2) didn't know where to go,
3) got lost,
4) didn't know that we had left without him,
5) got lost, and
6) got lost.
we were feeling pretty peeved with this chap by now.. who insists that they got lost? it's just a school! into the gate, that's e block, canteen, d block and b block, j block near to the gate, admin block smack in the middle.. ._. haha glad to say i surived gp. although i think ms yap is making it a point to pick on yong teck! aww. after that was fmaths again, and we split ourselves into groups. vanessa, yong teck, crystal, and genevia are in my group. all the tpjc first three months s2niners. we came up with a new name for ourselves, the originals. sounds like kfc chicken! haha. after that, went home for a little r&r.

wednesday. second day of actual lessons in term two. the start of the day already promised to be a long and stressful day. had gp first period. after what happened on tuesday, everyone made sure jian shun was with us. gp wasn't too bad, but ms yap's picking on yong teck! oh well. at leasthe didn't give her reason to scold him. so after gp was chinese. sadly, everyone in my class was in either 3d or 3a! and i was in 3c. walked to my class with yong teck, who was going to be next door with the rest of them. anyway, walked into the classroom to see a couple of familiar faces - andrei and louis! sat next to louis. after a while, to my suprise, chun hoe walked into the class! another familiar face! haha. my chinese teacher's rather nice. she's really cool. she's really nice to us and all.. for once, i have a feeling like i can actually learn to like chinese haha. after chinese, had chem, then fmaths, chem, and physics, which were all rather uneventful. after physics i went straight to sign up for my locker with vanessa. haha qixian came to tpjc today!! i missed her so much. had a nice talk with her before the talks, then went for band. mag had told julian that we had the project work talk and the cca talk and would be late. when i arrived, i had reached earlier than mag, and the talks had ended early. julian asked me if mag was coming up with reasons not to come for band. i almost smacked his head in, and mag said she wouldn't talk to him the whole day. miniature cold war. but it turned out all right though, that's good. dr lee says we're improving! yay! haha i can feel that a lot of people are really putting a lot of effort into the band. we all want to achieve the gold with honors! haha it's a great feeling.. to know that we all have a common goal and that we're all working towards it. after band, went home with terrence. once i got home i spent about an hour trying to decide whether i should call sujin, or just sms him. in the end, i smsed him to apologise, and he told me he wasn't angry with me at all, and that he was sorry too. phew!

thursday, killer day. lessons were to finish at 4.10!! it was sick. first we had spe, during which we had the heats for 12x100 boys, 12x100 girls, and 4x100 boys. our class was short of people, so me and crystal had to run twice. i ran the 3rd and 12th runner, and crystal ran the 1st and 10th runner. first was the 12x100 boys, so we sat down to watch. it was the first time i saw yong teck run so fast!! he's a really good sprinter. i didn't know the guys in my class were so sporty. they came in second, and i psyched the girls up. it was either beat the guys and get first in the heats, or match them and get second. we ran, and i must admit that one of the 11th runners was really very powerful.. it was in the 11th that we lost our lead and our first position. my legs felt like lead as i took the baton and ran the 12th lap, and no matter how i tried i couldn't catch up. all i could hear was the people behind me catching up. luckily, we ended up second as well. we also secured the second position for the 4x100 boys. there was no pw lesson, so we slacked in the canteen before going for physics lecture. sat with zhi long at the back because there was no more space next to vanessa, aww. after physics s29 had chem lab lesson.. we did titrations using hcl and h2so4. the teacher mrs ling asked those who didn't know how to do titrations to gather at the back of the class. thankfully i knew how to do my titrations, it's the calculations part i have problems with. anyway they were just behind me and genevia. all the three periods(mrs ling moved our last chem period up from 4.10 to 1.30) we could hear her scolding those at the back; andrew yeo, kelvin, and jian shun. and this other guy from s31, i forgot his name. towards the end of the lesson, it became quite apparent that jian shun couldn't do his titrations properly, so mrs ling, rather exasperated, asked him to take a break before trying again. and while i wrote out my calculations for the concentration of h2so4, hbehind me, jian shun started to sob! all we could do was stare. andrew yeo even joked that it was a kodak moment. we were rather helpless and decided to let mrs ling handle it. after all, none of us were close to him at all! we silently handed in out titration results and left the lab for our gp lecture on history. yuck, how boring. after gp, i wanted to go for waffles with the originals, but they were just hanging around waiting for someone else, so i left first. went home for more r&r, haha. sujin asked me to see if i could borrow a flugel horn from tkgs, but i couldn't, phooey. talked to sujin from 3.30 all the way to 10+. i'm so glad that everything's back to normal now, and that he isn't mad at me.

friday: went to school early to meet sujin and the other band members before school. i guess i could get into that habit.. haha. michelle, clement, kenneth, kiong wee and julian came too. i was quite happily doing my theory of equation homework. haha. then sujin made the mistake of letting julian get his hands on his handphone.. moments of hilarity and embarrassment ensue. michelle, you know what i'm talking about, right? haha, felt like smacking julian. i had four periods of fmaths, two tutorials and two lectures. mr chew wasn't in school so ms yeah took over the lecture. not that i minded. we have now established our jiemei group, which includes me, vanessa, crystal, genevia, yong teck, and chun hoe! haha. chun hoe suggested that we get pink polo tees from giordano, and one of those pink wristbands to go along with it, so that when the jiemei group goes out, we'll all be in pink polo tees with a pink wristband! what a sight it would be. after fmaths, we had chinese. wandered around with chun hoe because the chinese teacher didn't tell us where the lesson would be at! when we finally found the class, we found ourselves with another problem: we didn't have the writing paper for chinese compo, and we didn't have our dictionaries. how comvenient. so we used our handphones to look up the chinese words and took the writing paper from our chinese teacher. like i said, she's nice. i wrote about this taxi driver who, uh, nevermind. the more i think about it, the more stupid it sounds. haha. after that, julian told me that they were already at kfc, so i asked him to buy lunch back for me. i kept bugging grace about how hungry i was. but i really was hungry! after that, julian came back with my food, and mag and i left for the waffle shop. band was great. there's all this talk about subsidising out wasbe concert tickets, and it's just wondeful. the tickets cost $140 for all 14 concerts, including tokyo-kosei band. it's so expensive! so i'm glad that we can get subsidies. dr lee said he's going to subsidise everyone $10 off their concert tickets! and then there's the talk about the top three jcs performing for the wasbe concert! it's so exciting. i think everyone's decided that we're going to be one of the three bands performing! =) we're working so superhard for the syf.. 20+ more days! we can do it! gold with honours, here we come!! dr lee called us sars: stupid and retarded students. i must say tpjc has an acute case of sars.. 84 cases in total.. hahah.. we all know he doesn't mean it when he calls us retarded and stupid. haha. the gold is within our reach~! after band, went to get my tee and towel from the locker i share with chun hoe, then went to play soccer, oweing to the fact that the basketball was nowhere to be found. there were twelve of us, me, kiong wee, vickie, mark, christopher and yu ngai on one team, kenneth, jason, cheong hui, sujin, terrence, and one other flautist whose name i forgot, on another team. we played for one hour plus, until 8.30pm, then we waited in the canteen for jason. apparently he had gone off to meet michelle, who was supposedly still in school. kenneth, alan and the flautist had leftover co food, and the rest went off for dinner after jason came. we arranged to lan after band on saturday, and when i said i could lan too, mark asked whether i was a guy or a girl. haha! i went home with terrence, took a bath, and promptly fell asleep.

today! i met up with mag this morning for breakfast. sujin mentioned yesterday that he was going to have breakfast too, but didn't say where, and i asked terrence to come with me and mag, but he didn't want to. we went to macs at tmart. around 8.15, suvenna came, followed by sujin, clement and mazlina. mag and i left around 8.30 because i needed to get stuff from my locker - my file which i had left there the previous night. went to the band room after that. terrence was a little late, as usual. haha. julian seemed a little stoned. overall, band was okay. i can actually feel everyone's effort, and it feels great. after band, i returned julian the money i owed him, then went home to get more cash from my cupboard. met up with kiong wee, julian, kwang liang, hwaee, vickie, christopher, sujin, clement, zhimei, michelle, jason, mark, yixuan, and a few other band members for lunch. julian went to tell me they were at tampines mall when actually they were at centuary square. grr. haha. there was a rather interesting lunchtime topic, regarding what happened on friday morning. i was smsing mag and i said something in a totally sarcastic manner, but mag's going to show julian! =x oh no.. me and my big mouth! after lunch, went for lan with vickie, sujin, kiong wee, julian, clement and christopher. warcraft three: dota is no joke! within the first few minutes i was brutally murdered, limb from limb. and it takes a longer time too, because i chose the arachnid, so that's eight legs to pull. and while the others climbed to level 13 and 14, i was struggling with my level 6 arachnid. oh dear. after that, we pulled out of that game, and went to play cs. the last time i played cs was with loo kit in december? so i got killed quite quickly, and i'm not good on open maps. i prefer small, enclosed spaces where you kill who you see or get killed by who you don't see. killed christopher quite a few times.. someone set their nickname as 'gloriosa', so, in turn, i had mine set to 'singapore rhapsody'. haha. 20+ frags per round, i was at my 'top performance' today haha. the game left me with a headache though. after that, took the bus home by myself.

and now, here i am blogging.

hahah. shall post something meaningful later on, maybe.

tata.
