HIGHFIVE!

Today was fun. :)

It was a little, well, troubling towards the end of the day but in general it was awesome.

Everyone was like joking around and highfiving everyone else and dancing the Chicken Dance. Oh and singing the Spongebob Thermometer Song. Aaron Ng Aaron Ng Aaron Ng.

And I got sunburnt! How cool is that?

I mean, I didn't literally got burnt, my arms just look like they got burnt.

And I got to skip one whole day of class.

My mom isn't home yet, but when she is I bet you she'll shriek at the sight of my red arms. And she'll probably make me bring suntan lotion to school tomorrow.

Which I think I will, because I don't want to risk getting a REAL sunburn.

Oh oh, 90210's here.

Gotta flee! :)

Oh and Aaron, we love you! So don't sulk too much. :)

My post title is a song name bytheway, just for those who doesn't know. You can check it up online. It's a really old song, and I heard it yesterday when my dad put it on the radio for all of us to listen to it while on the way back from Melaka.

Ah yes, I went to Melaka yesterday, finished my Chemistry project there, played with some stray puppies (I wanted to bring them home so badly!), went to beach, failed to fly a bloody kite, got locked out of the house by accident went we reached home, broke the door open and went to bed.

The locked-out-of-the-house-by-accident incident was very funny actually. See, my mom locked the back door from the inside, forgetting that we didn't have the key to open the door from the outside. She boarded the front door from the inside out of habit, so we couldn't get it to it from the outside. So we couldn't get in from both doors, and all the windows were shut too. We tried picking the lock, calling the police, but in the end we pushed the door open with such force that it shook the whole house- slightly (really, we did!). And the back door still works. Haha!

Oh and I can't find the cable that connects the camera to the PC, so I'll upload my Melaka beach pictures later. Someday.

When I feel like it.

White Fluffy Clouds

Yes I'll be posting a lot on my blog for today, because as I've said, I haven't had the chance to come online.

So anyway, I went to the Race on Saturday, but on Friday I viewed Aaron cheating on his beloved Loria. Poor Loria.

Evidence as shown below:

Dancing with Sean

Dancing with Louise

Harassing Kai Boon.

Dot Your Dottiness

Oh wow I'm like the latest member in my Amazing Race team to post this post.

Well I'm really sorry but I haven't had the time to come online.

Yeah anyway, the Race was really tiring but it was fun.

Our team was named Polka Dots :), courtesy of Michelle Anne Leong, who had no choice but had to pull out at the last minute and dragged Ee Jay to be her replacement.

So poor Ee Jay was stuck in a team full of girls named the Polka Dots :) (yes, there's a smiley at the back of the team name). Haha.

We did what I thought we'd never do.

We drank garlic juice (eurrrgh), washed 2 cars, counted hundreds of Sugus-es and seperated the different flavours, took a cab all the way to Tien Hou Temple by ac

cident (yeah the stupid misleading clue), cheated on cracking a coconut and went back as the overall second last team feeling high and happy.

I will never drink or eat anything garlic for a very, VERY long time.

I know how to crack a coconut now, watching someone else help us to it.

And I don't regret counting the Sugus-es because the other choice of the Detour was to fetch ping pong balls out of a container filled with curry and garlic with your mouth. And I'm saying no to anything that has garlic after the garlic juice.

So, at the last station, right before heading back to school and waiting for Jing Hui's dad to fetch us back to school, we stopped by Starbucks and spent our own sweet time buying drinks and food. And by that time, we were all very sticky and sweaty and looked like we ran a hundred miles.

But as everyone said, it was worth the experience. :)

BAHDAHDAHDOOM

I hate my teacher. My Malay teacher to be accurate.

I despise him, loathe him I tell you.

I have no idea what his friggin' problem is, but I will not be intimidated by him.

Screw him.

But anyway, I will not dedicate this blog post cursing him, because it's not worth the space on my blog.

And oh wow, I just realized that I haven't been online for like, a long time (oh, 2 days actually, but it seemed like a very long time) and that I've been staying back in school for every single day for this whole week.

And I still need to find time to do my PJK project (I found out that we have to handwrite it a few days ago- and I typed it out!!), handwrite my Chem project (as well) and finish reading my selected book for my book report.

School is so boring during schooling times but after dismissal, things get busy and fun! (:

Gotta go, probably won't be online for like, the next 5 days or something (no don't trust me on this. I might just pop online for 2 minutes every now and then).

Until my next post! ;)

Oh We're So Screwed

Today was probably one of my worst days ever. EVER.

I got my term paper back for Physics and Chinese - not good.

And then there was a tiny tiny problem with the EdBoard in the afternoon.

Will get it settled by tomorrow, hopefully. :/

Plus we need one more member as Michelle's replacement in the Race this coming Saturday, and there's no friggin' way we can get someone in 4 days time.

Unless a miracle presents itself, and I am not too blind to see that miracle.

LlamaPoodles

Ohgosh, I'm so tired.

This is exactly why one shouldn't stay up until early dawn where you can already hear one's kakak taking out the butter and bread for breakfast.

Add Math was simply horrible today. I couldn't finish like, 1o questions and I kept them hanging halfway with workings but no answers.

Okay maybe not 10, maybe like, 7 or something.

Or 5 I think. I don't remember.

I am so gonna fail this paper. And the only person who I know who finished this paper would be none other than Agnes. If she gets an A on this paper (which no doubt she will), she is a total genius I tell you. And I'm not even sure whether she goes for Add Math tuition or not.

Ohmycrap, I just remembered, I have tons to do:

1. PJK project (due April 14)

2. Chemistry portfolio (due end of this month I think)

3. Malay oral (due this week????)

4. English Book Report/Oral (due April 20, and I haven't even picked a book to read yet. I gave up on Sense and Sensibility, will read later on)

I need TIME, AAAAAAH!

Wow, I was up the whole day, not to mention the whole night, teaching a certain someone how to do Add Math.

So yeah, you certain someone, you had better thank me when you get like, good grade in Add Math or something.

I feel so proud of myself. Although I spent like an entire hour trying to figure out what I did wrong for that one question of Add Math. =______=

IwillbethankfulifIcanevenget50marksforAddMath.

IwillbethankfulifIcanevenget50marksforAddMath.

IwillbethankfulifIcanevenget50marksforAddMath.

Oh and on the other hand, I'm addicted to Twitter more than ever, and Miley Cyrus' The Climb has got to be the best song I've heard so far on her list of her songs. This tops 7 Things and I think it could be in competition with Taylor Swift's Love Song.

In my list, that is.

Chel's downloading it, and once she gets it, I am soooo downloading it into my phone.

Pronto.

Oh, and Demi Lovato's LaLaLand is actually pretty nice too, although I strongly disapprove of the name. =_______= Lalaland? Riight.

And I am so downloading that too. It's better than the CampRock songs. Grrrgh.

HOHMYGOSH

I've just been laughing my head off here reading the parody of Harry Potter.

Seriously, if I laugh any harder (and louder), I just might get asthma.

Really, I might.

Oh yes, and my sister just told me that the O.C actually stands for Orange County and not Ocean California. And Orange County actually means California. It's another name for California.

Personally, I think Ocean California sounds SO MUCH nicer. I mean, Orange County??? Orange? O___O

Oooh I found out I still have a packet of Chachos.

Love chips.

Ta.

Rachel Feels Like A Dandelion

These dandelions, to be precise.

Eight hours on the laptop, I think I'm going insane! @.@

Fumble Jumble

Barack Obama is following me on Twitter!

Well, actually, BO is following almost everybody who follows him on Twitter.

But how cool is that??

Huh huh huh? :D

Oh and I watched the Hannah Montana The Movie trailer, and it's actually pretty nice!

Now I want to watch it. Haha.

Okay, so I've got 8 hours left on the laptop to come up with designs before I run off the my guitar class and go to Melaka tomorrow.

Plus I have to memorise 23 moral values for Moral Exam, do a little bit of Add Math practice exercises, find time to go to everyone's blogs to see what they're up to, check my email, watch a movie, eat lunch, eat tea, eat dinner, sleep, chew more gum, go Facebooking, Twittering, play UNO...

*and you leave the blog before Rachel goes overboard with her list*

;)

SnickerDoodle

Let's see...how did my one week holiday go?

Not bad I guess.

#1. My cousin and her daughter stayed over for about a week I think.

#2. I had to entertain them all the while I was at home.

#3. I play seesaws and slides and skipping and swings.

#4. I went to the MPH Warehouse Sale and bought some books.

#5. I met my old primary school teacher at the MPH Warehouse Sale.

#6. I ran and fell and bruised both my knees.

#7. My knees look SO horrible and yet I can still bear to wear shorts out into public.

#8. I bought a pair of black heels.

#9. I want another dress.

#10. I tasted red wine and it was AWFUL.

#11. I took some pictures!

#12. Am still missing Granny.

A Fun-eral

You know, the funny thing is, my grandma's funeral wasn't really a funeral. I mean, yeah sure, there was the crying and the emotional part where everyone was hugging each other and sobbing and sneezing; but there was also the part where everyone was talking and laughing and remembering the good ol' times. :)

So which is why I named my post a fun-eral, not a fu-neral.

And anyway, I took a lot of pictures, and well, you can guess why I posted this post. And there are a LOT of pictures, so you'll understand if I don't write the captions.

I went to the parlour on Tuesday after school, skipped school on Wed to attend the funeral, went for dinner with my relatives on Thursday before they went back to Singapore.

Tuesday afternoon- night

Wednesday- Skip School Day

And after the funeral, we went for lunch. ALL of us.

Thursday evening

I still miss my grandma.

The Tide's Gone

I couldn't believe myself when I stood there beside the hospital bed, looking down at the tiny lady sleeping on the bed, tucked in warmly by the blankets we bought her.

I felt so guilty leaving her alone at night, especially when she would wake up anytime and start playing with her blankets like a little child.

Yes, my grandma spirits had been reduced back to that of a little child, no more than 6 years old. Her memories faded, her sense of recognizing gone, and all that was left of her was her charming wrinkled face and beautiful, beautiful greyish-blue eyes.

I couldn't have asked for a better grandmother.

She was 97 and she looked frail and small, but she still had the strength of a normal person like you and me. She had a very, very happy life, and I knew that she enjoyed every ounce of it.

She was very protective of her children and her grandchildren, and definitely of her great-grandchildren.

I used to be stubborn, spoiled and rude towards her when I was a little girl, but as I grew up the protective sense that was with her all along began to pass down to me. I wouldn't let anyone, anyone hurt her in whatever way possible.

I expected her to live up to a century old, but she failed me in this category. She was good-spirited and delightful up to the very end of her time, and I thank God for not letting her suffer.

She was a wonderful woman, and she had a wonderful life that she deserved. Plus she died a very natural death.

And I won't stay sad and gloomy for who-knows-how-long, because I don't think my grandma would've wanted me to be upset. Sure I'm upset that she couldn't stay just a little bit longer on Earth, but I'm really happy for her to be resting in peace.

I love you, granny.

What's With Your Attitude?

Gosh. I'm bored out of studying.

I would love reading through the pages of my History reference book if only it were in English. And if only we were learning about World History. I mean, yeah, we sort of are, for the first few chapters only. And it's all about civilization.

Do you what would be civilized?

Yeah, allowing the students to study World History, and not the detailed happenings of our country. We know our country well enough (ohhhh, trust me on this), what we want to know is the world.

Ah well, at least I get to watch nigahiga. They upload the best, and the funniest videos of ALL time. They're like, THE Youtube Uploaders.

Right, and now back to studying. Nigahiga has just made my day. :)

A Smile, A Big Hug, and THUMBS UP.

In order not to drive everyone who comes into my blog into clicking the little X red button when they see my originally-super-long-post, I have decided to separate my blogging into two posts today.

And this post is a shout-out to my dear sister, who just turned thirteen yesterday:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEL. :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

She had a pretty normal birthday celebration, but I bet you she had an awesome time in school. I mean, more than half her class signed Happy Birthday on this piece of paper and gave it to her after school! That's like, so sweet! :)

I spent like, the whole afternoon running around performing errands with my mom. I had a haircut, bought my pen and file, fixed my mom's shoes, bought a patchwork-cake for my sister, fixed my spectacles, fixed my mom's spectacles, bought a packet of chewing gum, bought my sister a heart-shaped box filled with Ferrero Roche's and wrapped my sister's birthday present.

Oh yes I got her this book called False Impression by Jeffrey Archer and you really have to check it out. Just by reading the back of the book will drive you insane to rip the plastic-wrapping off and read it immediately!

Oh yes and we stayed at home and watched The Kite Runner, very very nice movie. I want to read the book so badly now (in fact I want to read a lot of books so badly) but my mom lost the book I think.

Oops gotta study now.

I will stop checking my email, it's not going to happen.

We Just Can't Keep Ourselves Out Of Trouble

A LOT of people didn't come to school today. I bet they're all staying at home studying for next week's exams like the nerds that school has forced us to become.

So yeah, had a really fun time in school today (as stated in PeiShe's blog) arguing about the photo shoot arrangements. And the surprising thing was, Pn Chan actually gave in to us. And she was surprisingly calm and amused (she looked amused) because I think Aaron kept apologizing to her.

So yeah, we've got the photo shoot arrangements settled and all. Oh and Michelle wasn't there because apparently, she FORGOT about the photo shoot meeting. Riiight.

And ohgosh!, time really IS the enemy I tell you, I barely have time to do my own stuff. And this is before the exam. I think the real busy part comes after the exam, plus I shan't have time to fool people on the 1st of April (because of the photo shoot) and I so want to prank people.

Ah yes, remember the disgusting thing that PeiShe drank? The one that I mentioned a few posts ago? Yep, I finally got the pictures from Aaron, and take a look at these:

CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE ACTUALLY LIKED IT?

It's Like, So Darn Pretty

Haha haha!

My dad won this silver Sony Cybershot camera that he originally wanted to sell/trade away (for a better camera) but in the end he decided to keep it.

But apparently the battery's dead and you need to charge it to get it to work, so I'll play with the camera once it's fully charged.

Hmph, my parents get this cool Cybershot DSC-T77 and all I got is my old Canon camera (which takes pretty clear photos but is still old and outdated).

Oh and I probably won't be online to update my blog until the exams are over.

So, good luck to everyone and erm, happy studying?

:)

Balderdash

Had a normal school day today. Although I didn't go for squash, because apparently they're having a study leave for next week's exam (should've known).

So I spent the afternoon in the Ed Board Room talking to Aaron and Pei, and in the midst of our many-topic conversation Aaron grabbed the green-pea plastic cookie jar and started shaking it (violently), and so causing all the cookies to crumble into tiny green pea-sized pieces. And then somehow Pei went out to the canteen to buy two small cartons of chocolate milk, one for Aaron to drink the other one they mixed it together with the pea-cookie-pieces in a cup.

Oh oh and then guess what: Pei She drank it.

And she said it was nice.

I mean, I wouldn't mind trying how it tastes like but I don't think drinking chocolate milk mixed with green-pea cookies would be nice.

Aaron took a picture and I'm getting it on Wednesday so once I get it I'll post it.

Haha!

Oh yes and today in tution I dropped my phone. I know, right?!

Me: *drops phone*

People around me: *gasps!*

Me: *stares at phone on the ground. Gasps. Picks phone up*

JesCee: Did you drop your phone on purpose?

Me: NO! That was an accident.

JesCee: Like how you dropped it in the swimming pool so you can get a new phone?

Me: That was an accident too.

But every button and application is still working, so, great (and I did not mean that sarcastically)!

Green Is Good For The Eyes

Okayokayokay. I shall not panic.

It's just a week to exam.

There's plenty of time to study.

Of course, I've only revised Physics and a little bit of History and Chemistry.

That doesn't mean that I will fail my exam.

Hell no.

Oh and I just had a very very very weird night.

*recalls last night*

Yeah, very weird. In fact, it almost felt like a dream. That kind of weirdness.

*shakes it off*

Okay anyway, back to studying.

I'm so doomed.
