okay. updating. yay. hahas. its going to be long so you might not want to read it. hahas,yeah. but still,no pictures again. sorry.
i cant believe the only thing i missed about not having my phone was that i cant take pictures anymore. and now that i am going to get a replacement (i had to get one or i'd get penalised for the loss of my phone. i have to get the free replacement SIM card by August 2nd [Breaking Dawn release date! yay! too bad i dont live in north america,otherwise i'd be able to get it 2 days before its released worldwide on August 4th. oh,well,at least i can get it immediately on August 4th after school at popular when it comes..])
more quotes of the day from Breaking Dawn:
Charlie: "Bells, we're up to bat."
Edward: "You're awfully small to be so hugely irritating."
Bella: "Why am I covered in feathers?"
thursday
ziqin didnt come to school today due to his injured leg during yesterday's PE lesson.
we kept wondering if got EC today. but in the end is still have..
anyway,chem lesson was hilarious. gone through our chem paper,and Mr.Soh wanted a marker. ChuPing hurled --well,threw,really-- his whiteboard marker at Mr.Soh,and it hit him on his lip.
he was all "ouch",and touched his lip lightly.
afterward,he went on with his lesson.
he must have touched his lip again;it must sting abit. because he said, "i'm bleeding!"
the whole class was shocked and ChuPing's face was lined with guilt. he was blushing,as well,as he laid his head on his desk.
Mr.Soh spelled something wrong afterward,and he said,"cos i was bleeding"
stop bullying chuping lah! our class was..well,not exactly outraged,but taking a dig at our precious class chair was kinda over the top. but i suppose our class will stand up for anyone in class if anything happened to them and they are innocent.
(like that time when Mr Ong announced dorothy's name for "people who didnt attend the awards night rehearsal and never report to a teacher the next morning to explain themselves. half the class stayed at the hall after assembly to wait for her and testify for her if needed,because we knew she had gone for the rehearsal. what wonderful class spirit. i am reminded of the time kl told me how she envied how everyone in our class is able to chat with each other.. okay,back to the subject)
anyway,chuping was so guilt-ridden for the rest of the lesson -i'd bet for the rest of his life- that he seemed more quiet than usual. poor dear. we bugged Mr.Soh to give us help for SPA later and he conceeded.
VE was after,and we were taught about the uses and abuse of ICT.
i was enraged by the teens who did the "Fire in the Haul" video and posted in youtube the video of their pranks. many criticized,and the video was eventuall put down and the teens had gone to juvenile court,charged with 100hours of community service,and they posted an apology letter on youtube. who was to blame? youtube? the joke site who posted the prank online? the teens? i doubt anyone can do all of that. no,my point is,abuse of the ICT has really gone out of hand,and i feel that we should all put in some effort to do what is right rather than what is more popular. however,there were still good uses of the ICT. there was a video about this group of 3caucasian men who took a video of the old man who pulled their rickshaw for them,making fun of him huffing and puffing. they were obviously criticized,and angry singaporeans took a video interviewing the old rickshaw uncle of his experiences and feelings. he was angry and upset about the caucasians,but he was unable to do anything. what can an old man do against 3 men who were stronger than him? and who will earn money if he was injured?
i concluded that ICT was fine as long as it is not misused.
we got our paper,the one on which the rest of the class had to write the good qualities of others.
i got 3 "nice", 4 "responsible", 8 "loud,talkative or vocal", and 14 "helpful". (i dont understand 'too helpful' by one of my peers. it sounds like a bad thing,but i let that pass.)
at english EC we wrote our formal letter and handed that in. those who finished had to wait until 3.30pm to be released.
friday
shuyi is absent today,while ziqin got back to school. shuyi's having problems with her back again... get well soon,shuyi!
i had slept 3 hours only as i had to prepare my uniform and complete the gifts intended for my guides. i didnt,and had to do them in school.
i had to bring my uniform and many other items to school. it was irritating. and people were staring at the amount of things i was holding on the bus. it was unnerving.
anyway,i didnt go to class though i had arrived early. i went to the Heritage Gallery where my guides had to fall-in. i gave my uniform to MeiXin so she can help me out it in the guides room,then went to sit at the parade square with my class after checking on the guides.
i still had my bag of things and my school bag,so i was rather uncomfortable,but who cares?
anyway,we had an add. maths mock test to do during maths class (and at EC after school). i was sure i'd die for that paper,but i didnt care anymore. no amount of studying will help me at this last minute moment. i had told her i need a lot of time to finish even 1 question,as i gave up on trying to finish my paper and settled for handing it in. Ms Lee had said to me that i did fine for the first few questions in the A maths term 3 tests,but the ones at the back were poorly done. she said she could see i was rushing,that my work had become more rushed.
chemistry was disasterous. Mr.Soh went through with us the last time our skill 3 skills. kelvin had said it wasnt difficult,that we just had to choose the right method to use. MrSoh had said: "i heard you all have heard from 4/4 that the test is ve~ery difficult,huh." "yes." the class had choursed. i had studied -even if a little- for my chem SPA,but i think the method i had chosen was wrong,and i made the mistake of letting the student take 11 readings rather than just 3 or 5 of them. i had discovered my mistake with 2 minutes to the end of the exam,and i had scolded myself during the impossibly long 2 minutes.
i checked later,in the chem o levels notes i had. i did get the method off. i knew i was dead,but did not dwell on it. since laoda was not here,i had 2 periods to do my presents for the guides.
as expected,the roses i did earned some praise from my peers,though i had thought they (the roses) were not as pretty as i'd hoped they would be. XD had taken a ribbon from me to try and make a rose. hers looked great,not the tight ugly ones like mine. she just needed to work on the sides and it would look perfect. she said she is a failure,but i suppose we all feel that way (as in we will think we are failures) once in awhile..
in VE,a lot of them had to go for this NE survey,leaving the rest of us in class to do a 3-2-1 reflection on the use/abuse of ICT. after that was lunchtime and maths EC. me,jertaime,jieying and cheryl had talked during lunch break. yet again,i was reminded of kl's words about how our classmates are able to just join any conversation by just pulling our chair over and sitting at their table or just stand there and listen to them talk.
it was guides time after EC. i played balloons with them. Mrs Chung was teaching them balloon crafting/sculpting. i made this bee thing and went aroung stinging everyone with it afterward. being stupid,again.
we had our ROD (retirement of duty,for those who dont know) rehearsal and the real thing afterward. thanks,chuping,qinjie,yongbang and yilin,for coming to watch our ROD.
thanks again to chuping and thanks to koonling,for helping us to take photos during the ceremony. the guides had a group hug afterward,and it was warm and fun.
the NCOs had cried (except the perpetually happy sun,MeiXin.) and hugged almost everyone. a picture war ensued,and as the tears and sweat ran down our faces,we tried our best to smile for everyone. even yingxin and audrey hugged,though they were on poor terms 2 years back. come to think of it,i hadn't hugged audrey! TT_TT oh,well.. at least they've made up,and wished other good luck for the coming o levels. i'm glad things were able to end on a good note between them.
Mrs Chung and Mrs Kok had given us hugs too,along with words of encouragement.
my -our- guides have to be the absolute sweetest people i've known,and i'd hate to leave them and the school when the time comes. even my classmates. i cant believe how much -how little- more time i have with them... 1 of the reasons i dont want to graduate,that i want time to stop,is bacause i love all my friends at school so much. more so my class and our guides. i...i dont want to leave,but i will have to. and when i do,i will never forget each and every one of them. at least i hope my memory holds well enough for me to remember everyone for as long as i lived. kareen had asked me to go back as a YA and i had told her i will try. thing is,we might not get posted to the school we want to,the school that we come from,and that being a YA is not only a great responsibility,but also requires a lot of time management (which i know i lack). how can i keep my promise to her? this promise is most probably broken as soon as i'd made it. i'm such a hideous person.
we celebrated yuhang's birthday with an adorable cake. i had helped to cut it later on. i just randomly cut the cake w/o counting the number of guides. the sugar-people,at least that's what i call them- taste horrible. too sweet,even for someone with a sweet tooth like me.HAPPY BIRTHDAY,YUHANG!
i slept most of today (well,yesterday,really), and now i have to go finish my work or i wont have time to do so sunday when i have to go play with XinLi at Escape or Wild Wild Wet.
oh,well. hope you had fun reading this post,much as i had fun typing it.. i will post pictures of the ROD once i get my hands on them. this promise,i will be able to keep. i shall go do my work now,so if you'll excuse me......
