SMILE- Showing Magic In Love Everywhere
That's what Mr Goh shared with us during GC yesterday (: It kind of made me smile more ever since that lesson, because a smile truly does wonders :D

Today was generally filled with joy and happiness brought by my wonderful friends :) With the boring lesssons, i think their company has made school much more bearable. It started with a free period and Suyi and I were rushing through our chinese work. She wrote a poem which was super hilarious that sent all of us laughing at it. I can vaguely remember it about the boy who thought he was filial cause he killed his father for his mother's sake. I know this sounds pretty crude but that was the context given to begin with. I slept during Maths tutorial today and din get caught ;) It's not something I am proud of either, but hey I wont usually put my head on the table and sleep so openly! But there'e always a first time to everything :D We didn't have CAAL today, so my class was at the canteen telling jokes. I laughed so much till i teared, especially when Suyi told us about the airplane joke. Laughing is contagious. Before she even completed her joke, I was already laughing away and the other girls like Felicia and Jamie began laughing too! Heeehee, but i still cannot picture how people hung below the plane inside of going on board. It's so ridiculous yet so funny too :D

Suyi, Felicia, Jamie and I made our way down in the rain to Beauty World Plaza to get our school uniforms. We walked in circles before we finally found the place, only to realise that they didn't carry our sizes! =X In a way it was a futile trip but we bought a skirt each anyway... It feels weird in the NJ skirt frankly.. Haha sat in Macs and pigged out. I ate McWings which was a lousy decision because I felt so sinful after which. Thinking about the fats and salt content makes we not wanna eat fast food soon again. It's funny how Felicia was using the tissue to remove the oil from the fries!!! But we both agreed that we're not so concerned about putting on weight but rather, about out health! Hah that's something we have in common FELICIA!! :P So u better stop bullying me! And Suyi don's conspire with her against me too! At least Jamie is sane enough to be on my side :) Haha.

Met up with hweeboon at JP earlier and we chatted for 3 hours! We could have stayed on if I wanted to but part of me felt the need to go home since i was having dinner home. Yet the other part of me wanted to stay on because I dont like the feeling of coming home seeing the black faces of my parents after a long day at work. Besides, talking to hweeboon never fails to make me happy! :D We managed to catch up with each other, exchanged information about lives in our respective schools. It's nice to note that we're still close although we're physically far from each other. I feel so updated about her school life that I seem to know what's been going on although im not in JJ. Our conversation got pretty amusing when she told me about her kor. HAHA still can't believe she actually told him about me!!! =/ Okay, I do feel honoured since she talks abt me to her friends but it's so FUNNY. She actually told him I'm his type. like wth?!? HAHA and she was telling me how one day we could all have lunch together at JP. hweeboon arh you, I dunno what to say :P I think we could go on chatting for hours if there wasn't any time constraints! But well, Thanks for your company once again hweeboon! Don't brood over your choice of Jc anymore cos it's already been decided. Just make the best out of it there! :D

anyway,
BEST OF LUCK to the J2s for your common tests tmr! =)

I'm finally discharged (:
That means I no longer need to visit SGH twice each year. No longer need to worry about my condition worsening. Yay (:

I woke up early in the morning at 6am yesterday just to go the gym workout as instructed by Mr Irwan. It's funny how i could bring myself to rise in the wee hours of the morning to train yet on normal school days, i wished i could sleep a little while longer. Anyway, I was shocked that there was other residents who were even earlier than me, working out in the gym. thankfully the equipments were not occupied so i just did whatever i had to do :) It was only about 50mins later when i was about to return home when i realised my mum was actually looking out for me from outside. She waited till i was done and walked back up with me and although i didn't say a word of thanks, deep down I was pretty much touched. She told me she was watching me from outside and the man in the gym kept looking at me. He spoke to me after the other man left th gym, and i thought it was just some get-to-know questions. I guessed my mum was worried for my safety cos she told me not to be too friendly to the residents.. Even though i think she was being paranoid, it only shows how much she cares for me and I certainly am grateful to that =D

The afternoon was spent at my aunty's house playing cards. I was feeling so lethargic and the comfy sofa set at her bungalow made me want to sleep! But of course, i kept myself awake since it was rude to sleep at people's house =/ Frankly i don't mind staying over at her house some time since it's humongous and her sofa makes me feel like some princess! Haha it's relatively higher that normal sofa such that my legs can't touch the ground and it has gold stripes on it which makes it look extremely grand :) Won quite a bit of money during the games and i think it managed the recup my losses for the first few days of CNY. But i think it proved to me that money can't make me happy. I guess happiness comes from many other ways. I just cannot believe how my cousin and I have drifted so much and become so distant now. She's only a year younger than me and yet we no longer talk to each other like years before. This problem has been obvious to me for so long but on my part, i guess i never really did anything about it. So whenever anyone of my relatives ask me why me and her aren't talking as much, I'm stupefied. No doubt it saddens me that all has changed so quickly and both of us have grown up in different ways, I do want to bring back the past. We spent our childhood days playing together, dancing together, eating together. Look at my sister and my other cousin who are now graduates, they are still so close! And we are just of stark contrast to them although we all spent our younger days together. Hmmm, I really wonder what can be done to improve the situation..

So school's starting tomorrow and I am dreading it :( I really dislike going to school in some way or another right now. Maybe because everything is starting to get real and it's no longer honeymoon. The harsh reality hits straight in my face and i know i can't play like in orientation anymore. But somehow, im just unused to the lectures and tutorials mode still :( Falling asleep in lectures like maths and chemistry has become a norm for me, that i need to bring many sweets so that i can stay awake and be attentive. I can no longer sleep at ten cos by the time i reach home after trng it's already 8 plus and washing up and wasting dinner takes up another hour or so. I need to manage my time better as how i did in upper sec when my peers keep asking me how on earth i can even sleep at ten when i've track,council,acaedemics to juggle. It's only term 1 yet i feel as though i can't cope. What a joke! I guess it's partly cos of the fact i need to tune myself bck into the studying mode and not the playing mode. Term 1's ending really soon and come Term 2 I would be in the grey uniform. I wanted to say I would be mugging, but remembered that Ms Kaur told our class mugging is not the equivalent to studying, but rather it means robbing! HAHA. Okay, I think i need to search for joys to going to school. On the brighter note, I finally get to run for training tomorrow :)

I spent 2.5hours filling up the forms which made me so frustrated the entire night. Within such short notice, it's difficult for me to produce something of much standard frankly. Thankfully, it's over and done with now =) I realised thursdays are my moody days. It's always this day in the week that i somehow seem to close myself up from others and get all listness in school. It must be the timetable's fault because once training begins, i feel so much better. Unfortunately, im not allowed to train hard until monday which is many days later :( It'a certainly not a good feeling watching others train while you just sit around and do nothing. Oh well, at least the pain in my leg has already subsided...

If only happiness was everlasting.
This entire week has been depressing with the exception of wednesday and friday. Other than that, I was feeling upset for absolutely no reason at all and i just broke down on tuesday. But it's over and i ain't going to think about it. But a big thank you for those who comforted me, or just asked if i was alright (: Sometimes such situations just show who really cares for me... Heh my mom keeps suaning me about the moe scholarship thingy making me more sore:( Maybe now i do regret a little more because it's due to my laziness that i let such great opportunities slide past me. But since we can't turn back time, we'll just have to move on =) Next time, I had better speak to my parents about such issues lest i get scolded more than ever.

So yesterday, I was all cheery the entire day and i think it's partly cos of the festive modd :D I didn't watch the concert since i was involved in the Make-a-Dish competition, but i had a whole lot of fun!! :) My classmates and I spent most of the time laughing hysetrically during the process of getting our dish done up. That's me, ngiam, aaron, zachery, marvin with our wonderful and most unique dish (:


A close up on our dish named "Pig wandering in sakura" I think. Hahahah it definitely stood out amongst the other dishes which looked appetising. Ours probably won the most creativity with that 2 sausagese sticking out of niangao :P Most people were intrigued by our dish since it really looks hmmmm extraordinary that many asked if they could take a picture of it!! Hahha but aaron did a fantabulous jog of describing the dish and i think the judges were pretty impressed! (: Haha even the principal and vp asked us about our dish which certainly amused them. Heh i really couldn't stop laughing at the sight of it :D

Part of 07S11 and kailing(who loves my class) with our lovely dish!! (: I love my class so much that i sincerly pray that we'll all get to stay together after these first 3 months (:

7/9 of the girls in my class during exchanging of oranges session :D Some of our oranges were really soft and disgusting! Ngiam attempted to make orange juice out of it =X Hee and Suyi and Jason were so evil when they exchanged oranges with me. They both said "Lynette, xi wang ni kuai dian zhang gao!!" [means hope you grow taller soon] Tsktsk, and as usual, ngiam poked at me by saying i look even younger with home clothes, more like sec 1!!! NGIAM u ain't any better than me!! :P your palm's the same size as mine :PP Hahah.

Met up with yining and yusheng after cny celebrations. I realised these are my 2 good friends in lower sec that i always kept in touch with. Even though we went to different classes in upper sec, we still continued going out together. Now that we're all in different jcs, ning in the west, me in central, sheng in the east, we're still keeping in contact! :D Yay, no wonder they say true friends may part in the distance but not in the heart! =)

Macritchie trng was a traumatising experience. Hahah the weather was threatening and i had to run a route i was unfamiliar with. It was pretty terrifying as there wasn't much light and as i was running, there were creepy sounds that freaked me out =/ Thank goodness i was running with Remen ;) maybe im just timid cos i was so worried somebody or something would just pop out of the bushes to scare me =/ So when something fell from the tree, i just screamed cos i thought it was a dead monkey!! Haha when i realised it was just a big leaf, i just laughed at my sillyness. Hahah You would have no idea how happy Remen and i were when we saw finally light, haha :)

CHINESE NEW YEAR tmr! There's something missing this year because i don't feel all that excited as previously =/ The festive mood hasn't exactly sunk into me yet and my house feels empty and not lively. And this year i'll be having relatives asking me about o's etc etc, life in jcs etc etc =X Now i realise i'm not really looking forward to it, other than the fact there's a long break this time round (: But nevermind, i foresee many hongbaos coming my way =D sp HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!! Hope we all receive lots of hongbaos and eat all the many cny tibits (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 15th YINGMIN!!! =D
Hope you'll have an awesome day today and chill yup!
Hope the presents are of your liking too! (:
This is the only picture we took together so haha!
Take care of yourself!! Loves <33

I'm terribly sunburnt =/ Terra outing yesterday was quite pathetic, considering the number of people who went. But I'm so glad 07s11-my class, went because we actually use the opportunity to bond together!! :) 11 of us went in all, and i was the only girl!! thank goodness there was rachel to accompany me! And yihui came around 4 for a hour or so. It's been almost a year since i last went to sentosa and i just love th beach :) The calm and refreshing waters just have a good effect on me! We were blessed with good weather, but the sun was scorching at us, leaving me like a lobster now. My shoulders are terribly burnt, so don't anyone whack them tmr cus i'll really scream!! =X yihui and i left earlier to shop at Vivocity!!! :D It kind of cheered me up since my headache was killing me sitting under the hot sun. Bought myself a simple tee from Zara and bought V day presents. Luckily i brought more money this time round, else i'll be a miserable kid roaming arnd vivo with no money to buy anything =/ OOHH and i chanced upon a REAL spongebob!!! i think im crazy over spongebob as for now, becos anything i see related to spongebob makes me high =) Heehee of course i took a picture with it! SOooo cuteee! Haha i shall hunt for a spongebob towel and bedsheet one of these days :P

Hmmm, Saturday's trng of late seems to be more and more tough and sometimes i wonder why i have to wake up early in the morning just to torture myself!! But yet, there's always a sweet sense of satisfaction on sat's run, because when it;s more difficult, you'll ultimately feel better upon completion (: we did 3km pace run followed by 200m 5 times yesterday under the HOT sun. Struggled thru my 3km run and i really wanted to give up half way thru. 7.5 rounds is no joke for me cus it just bores the hell of out me. That's why i would NEVER agree to run 3km for Nats for that matter. I lack the willpower =/ I still prefer sprints and shorter distances! thats why when Mr irwan told me agn abt me doing 400m hurdles, you have no idea how overjoyed i was :D I hope i wasn't dreaming then, as i wld really like to do hurdles again! The only worry is that 400m hurdles and 8oom are held on the same day, so my body would really be tired by then.. Oh well, it's still early to think about Nats. Let me worry about cross country first, i guess that should be my main focus as of now :)

I shall get started on my piling work which have been left untouched since thursday. There's maths test this tuesday and im almost prepared to flunk it cus i can't solve any trigo qns! :( i can barely rber those many formulas either =X Grrr, oh well at least we're baking brownies later! i shall rush down to help out since i need to bring the eggs. granny's house later! (:

Not just happy, I'm ECSTATIC :D
So today was the much dreaded day for me, but im so thankful for the results i've achieved (: I'm pretty lost for words now because im simply overwhlemed with happiness :D I went back to school feeling all nervous, but entering Crescent instilled a sense of pride for the school, and memories just returned to me! Spotted Sir and chatted to him. He told me how our cohort did exceptionally well this time round and Mrs Lee was really happy! But because of the way he talked to me, i thought i did worst compared to prelims as he went like "so as long as u get below ten can stay in Nj right?" Actually it's 20 larh, but duh i wont want that! I started crying after that only to find out he didn't even know how i've fared! =X But i guess that was purely the result of my fear in receiving my results.
Atmosphere in the Hall was certainly nerve-wrecking. My heart was racing so rapidly that i had to take deep breaths to calm myself down. So when Mrs Lee announced that our batch did even better than last year, many of us screamed for joy :D And when she said the no. of 6 pointers increased from 44 to 80 this yr, i was just hoping i would be one of them! Hearing the good news that Xuxin emerged as top student with 10 A1s and Soumya the best Tamil student in Singapore, i just started crying again as i was feeling so happy for them! :D Both are my classmates to add on! You girls rock! (: So when it finally came my turn to receive the result slip, Mrs Yip didn't even give me the chance to see it for myself!! She just said "Congrats Lynette, you've got 6pts!" haha, i was so elated that i dashed out of the hall to call my parents! =DD Sharing the wonderful news made me cry more than ever but those were tears of joy! (: I still recall my speech on farewell assembly, hoping that we would step out of the hall crying, but those will be tears of joy and not disappointment. I'm glad that part of my speech did come true to some extent! (: CLASS OF 2006, I'M REALLY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU! haha and seriously, i think Mrs Lee has put in a great deal of effort to bring Crescent to what it is today. The standard of our school has been improving year after year under her leadership since 1994! So class of 2007, ALL THE BEST TO YOU THIS YEAR!
It's true how hard work pays off :D Never did i expect what i got today, but i guess i managed to reap what i sowed. english was just surprising =X And seriously, ive never seen my parents as happy as today. They couldnt stop grinning the whole time i came back and they patiently listened to me rantle all about what happened at Crescent today! i was taken aback when my dad took out $100 bucks from his wallet and said "Take this and spend on whatever you want. This is what u get for scoring 100%" haha i was very touched that i cried during dinner as my brother began to feel the pressure for his O's next yr. Haha silly boy said it is going to be challenging to get 8A1s to win me. Haha but my point is that i think what relly matters is the amount of work u put it cos the results would prove likewise. Anyway, im surprised because this is the first time ever im receiving a monetary reward! Even my sis smsed me to say i can go reatail therapy and claim for anything less than 100bucks =/ but THANKS SO MUCH!! i'll spend the money wisely =) hah though i may just put it in the bank :)
Ohh im sad to say that many of my friends didnt recognise me with short hair!! and to make matters worst, some even mistook me for Sec 1!! TSKTSK, eshwaaree was one good example! I feel so insulted!!!! =X Haha they said i look alot younger with my new haircut and with my height, it explains why people think im only sec 1!!!! Arghh. Many of my friends were telling me how i shouldnt have DSA-ed into Nj and blah blah blah. But im seriously having no regrets about it because afterall, it is my dream school and at least i;m still going to stay put! But after hearing about the not-so-good things abt DSA students., maybe im looking back on my decision. Nevertheless, i'll still join track even without DSA so hahah I'm proud to be in the NJ XC TEAM =DD
Went out with ning and sam to town after results. Ate at pasta mania and i was so broke that i only ate garlic bread =/ So there wasnt sufficient money to feast for a celebration and neither could i buy anything! But i bought this little spongebob handphone pouch to reward myself! =D It's so ADORABLEEE =D haha ning paid for our neos which i havent taken for quite some time! heehee So CONGRATS ning on your 6 points too!! I really missed you alot and glad we went out tgt today! (: Whatever your decision is on poly or napfa or jc, i'll still support you. Meanwhile, take care alright! <33

Haha i think im too high to sleep tonight =/ Maybe it's like some unrealistic dream ive just encountered. Hahaha oh well, i seriously hope 07S11 will stay together as a class. We'll write a petition if we can't! House outing tmr at sentosa, please bless us with good weather! (:

4C1 class gathering at von's house was fruitful! =D Yvonne's house is HUGE! and her toilet is like those in 5 star hotels. So cosy (: Anyway everyone seems to be having plenty of fun in their JCs. But of course, we all agreeed Crescent's better to some extent! (: It's nice to spend time as a class after so long and i'm pretty amazed we even had a gathering cos our class isn't that united after all. Oh well, it's heart warming to see familiar faces once again. Sufan commented how some of us were more feminine now that we were no longer in a girls school! Hee we gossiped here and there, listening about life in different schools! Heard ACJC has swim pe which was pretty dreadful so i'm lucky Nj doesn't have them! ;) Time to photo blog!


Xuxin and I. She was really very sweet cos early this morning she smsed "Can't wait to see you later =D" I realised i was one of the few who received that sms! Hee hee =D thanks xuxin!
Yujing!!!! She looks like a barbie doll with her new hair cut! =) All the best in Rj!
Yvonne bestie!! =D Man, i really miss having her around in class!! :( But i'm glad she's having tons of fun in Hc. Hope u like the belated present i hid in your school bag! Really hope it fits too!<33
Yingliang, me, wanjing! :) Was gossiping to yl a little while at von's house! haha we have more common topics now! Haha i miss wanjing's tuition! :( who's going to help me in chem now!! :(
Groupp picture! :) Slyvia, Peili, Me, Etian, Yvonne. Finally succeeded in getting a picture of peili and etian. These 2 ple are camera-shy, rather they dont like posing for pictures! haha but well, now ive got hold of one =)

Well, i better get started on my homework now :( there's superstar and the football match to watch tonight too! i shall MULTI TASK =D

I crawled out of bed this morning with aches over my body :/ The pain was certainly excruciating that it took me almost ten minutes before i finally got up to wash up. Heh at that point of time, i entertained a silly thought that i was paralysed! Choy! Well it still hurts quite badly and i'm upset the pain has been hanging around since tuesday. My tailbone seems to be jutting out so the core exercises just worsen it. This reminds me i had better go for my backbone checkup soon, to assure myself the curve spine has not returned =X I think i'm going to be disobedient and not go for a swim as instructed by coach. 4C1 Class gathering this afternoon and i still have heaps of uncompleted homework.

Yvonne called me at nine this morning, minutes after i woke up. Maybe now im convinced that i do miss her company so im really glad we'll be meeting up in a matter of hours! :D There's lots to catch up with her and life in hc. She's going to fill me in with gossips! Haha and when she told me "i heard there's a cheer in Nj suaning Hc!" It struck me that it was most probably referring to my Og with that cheena cheer during orientation! How fast news spread! =/ Well well, it was purely out of fun on our part but definitely, we ain't cheering that anymore and no insults were meant (:

Talentime 2007: Step Up was a blast! :D At least it made $5 worthwhile and im sure we all enjoyed ourselves! The vocals were all fantastic and pleasant to hear! :) Bands were cool and dances were awesome! Althought Zac didn't win, he's a winner in our hearts already! Man, he really sang so beautifully and it was certainly very very touching. That made me think he had a shot at winning one of the top 3 prizes, but heh it doesnt matter, cos i think he was touched by the support he had from his pri sch frens, SJI and us, his classmates :) And it's no wonder a girl cried after listening to him sing because girls are emotional and when u listen to such heart-throbbing songs, u'll just be in a frenzy of emotions. Heh. But friday was quite an amazing day for me and i was feeling plain happy throughout. it began with lunch and the 2 free periods which followed. Suyi, Felicia, Jamie, Kailing, Vanessa and Yihui had our fair share of laughter in the canteen and it got us high! It began as a gossip session and later when on to terms which yihui and i never came across or knew the meanings of them. We were being mocked at how innocent we both were! =/ Well, at least now we know, better late than never :D After Pe, i received this ubber cute balloon with spongebob drawn on it by justin. It was relly super adorable and my classmates were taking turns to admire his artwork(: haha wernchia asked me to get him to draw one for her too. It looked like it was printed on from afar, but on closer look, u can see the marker ink imprinted on the balloon. So a few of us sat at the grandstand chatting about nonsensical stuff with the guys acting like Thais! it was a hilarious experience cos some of them sounded truly gay. Furthermore, with kailing around, we just couldnt stop laughing :P Proceeded to KAP for dinner before Talentime. I realised i havent been there since i had my 8th birthday party there!! It didnt change much at all but it amazing how i still recall the games played in that little birthday room and the cake which was too hard for consumption ;) Hee ngiam and daniel succeeded in fooling a gullible girl like me to feel the exothermic reaction of chilli and curry sauce! Wahh they are certainly good at tricking girls for that matter cos yihui believed them too! But me being the unfortunate one, had the privilege of getting my hand smacked in the 'pool' of sauces! =/ It stank really badly even after i washed it!! wanted them to smell my mselly hand and whacked it on their faces, but of course i couldnt bring myself to do it. Haha yupp i'm not those sort who get angry easily and hence i get bullied easily. Tsktsk. But ngiam smsed me yest to apologise and not be angry, which i wasn't to begin with. Haha he told me that im sucha a happy go lucky person that will never get angry. Truth in that statement? Perhaps so.

Anyway, i realised that the girls in the xc team are also entertaining the same thoughts that i was a few weeks ago. I think it was the friday before the race when i spoke to justin and thomas abt the fear of not making the cut for Nats this year. Because we have like 10 of us in the xc team, there is a slight pressure on my part to train hard for a place. And now, ive also discovered others who are feeling just that way i am. Of course, i've already placed this unnecessary worry at the back of my mind because i see no point in worrying either. All it requires on my part is just the commitment i believe. Besides, now that i see trainings as a source of enjoyment to me, so i don't really see why i should make myself unhappy. Heh this is being optimistic. Maybe deep down in my heart, there's no doubt of the fear i'm experiencing, but i'm letting it go as i don't want it to affect my performance.
