Yesterday was the BBQ Under-the-stars and Sleepover.



This is Part 1 of 2. (Prelude and Build-up)


After the Rehearsal for Graduation Ceremony, I, Fiona, Ariel and Etsuko had to go to the Music Room to do yet another rehearsal. After that, Ariel had to go to debate, but she forgot her water bottle and book. Etsuko had to go home. That left me and Fiona. After saying goodbye to our drumming teacher, (Miss) Emma, we went down with Ms. Mavis Tan. Fiona bought chicken rice; Ms. Mavis Tan bought chicken and duck rice and I bought an avocado milkshake.


(Forgive the rambling)

After eating(and drinking), Fiona and I went up to the classroom to entertain ourselves for the rest of the duration (until 17 30, that makes about three hours). We had three hours to kill. So, we played taiti (Instructions on how to play on another blog post) and Randy came in. Apparently he was staying until 17 30 and then staying overnight too. Oh what a surprise. Daniel Chin was too; we played taiti until Kenneth and Cleven came in and Cleven brought his basketball. Jaron then came in and brought Cleven, Kenneth, Xin Jie and Randy down to play soccer...( I think D.C. went too, but I cannot be too sure.)

That left me and Fiona alone again. We amused ourselves by playing with the basketball Cleven brought, and also "borrowed" Pei Fang's Monopoly(TM) set to play with. (I almost won.) Randy chose that moment to come in, and proceeded to tell me that I would lose because I had too much property and too little money, which i found completely illogical. (Fun Fact: I bought Vine Street for $1 because Fiona didn't want to auction). Cleven and Xin Jie and D.C. would come later.

After a few more rounds of moving the little counters clockwise around the green board, a member of the school staff came in and promptly proceeded to lock the door. A few questions later, we surmised that we were not supposed to sleep in our respective classrooms, but instead in the hall! Pei Fang was not back yet, so we had to bring her bag down ( she was also staying for the night). We had an informal assembly (meaning no one told us to sit there) at the courtyard, then we were told to proceed to the hall. We had the Teachers - Students match of Captain's Ball and soccer while waiting for the food to be readied. The captain's ball match was deeply disappointing, with the teachers winning 8- 3 or something. Xuan Li was really the star player (you can find her blog at http://catlover261.blogspot.com) because she was the goalee and she was really good at blocking Mrs. Chan at getting the ball. Overall, I thought the females played commendably, although even after repeated examples (not explictly depicted, of course) they still didn't learn to block the opponent when they throw the ball. The soccer match was much better, with the boys winning 1/2 - 0 (cannot remember). I was the commentator for the soccer match, and I sucked. ( I never watched soccer games), after which returning back to my floor-seat I was bombarded with extremely sarcastic comments and sniggers.

But enough of that. Anyway, after the two games, we were allowed to go back to the courtyard and start eating!

...... To be continued in Part II

MUSIC PRACTICE (and everything before it)


Introducing..... THE TRACK BUILDERS TEAM!

We pride ourselves on building racecar tracks with only UNO Cards! Our tracks range from easy (one loop, four turns) to fiendishly difficult (many loops, many turns!) tracks. Our members are:

Zheng Hong -- Artistic Director/ Aesthetics Manager
Pethuel Ho -- Chief Tester/ President
Chong You, Andrew Chia -- Builders
Gui An -- Fiendishly difficult track specialist/Builder

We are not recruiting, sorry! =)

Anyway, we build(t) lots of tracks and tested and played all of them out at the back of the class.

I learned a lot about placement and psychological pleasure, all of them trade secrets (shh).

Anyway, after the lesson, I went to play soccer (injured 3 of my toes, ouch) and then proceeded to the Music Room to practice the playing of the pieces Viva La Vida and Hold On. (I honestly think that Hold On is easier to play the bass) [ I'm in charge of the big base drum and another drum which i cannot remember the name). Wei Sheng needed to work on his tempo, I needed to work on the drumbeat and Ariel suffered from fatigue problems. Fiona was kinda.... sorta... soft, but she was good.

Half through the practice, two teachers came in to listen! One went away, but another stayed with us and even gave us tips for the playing of the pieces.

Yeah that's about it for today, good-bye

A typical Sunday

This shall be a post composed almost entirely of pictures.

If you don't like blog posts with pictures, just comment on my tagboard/Cbox.

This is an innovative new method of posting! I shall call it PICTORYPOST(TM)





It's a beautiful Sunday Morning, and the weather is fine.


Flowers and trees everywhere! What a beautiful morning.


And our dedicated crew of actors begins the day!


The most senior male member of the family is watching T.V. (Pheonix Channel).


And the two grandmothers and a domestic helper are assisting with brunch!

The mother has just woken up - seems hostile. Let us move on to somebody else!


The sister is doing her homework;

the brother is slacking off;

and the father is nowhere to be seen! (he's taking the photos)





Will post when I upload more pictures. Bye!

Today is November First!

Posted this to get a November Archive.

Got archive (thanks ariel) now!

Hi guys! I shall post about two things today: (yesterday's) Snow City Excursion and (long time ago) MediaCorp Filming Thingy =).


Remember I said I would post when i got the pictures? Well I have, so here they are!



The owner of the house we used to film (observe diff. between her tv and the tv we used for filming )


My sister looking at me and 3 other people filming


My sister and my friend Hayley filming together.


I will post more pictures later.

The film will air on 23rd November. Leave a comment on cbox if you want to know more =)


Right. Today, I got my first Nuffnang ad and a poll! I also added a Happy-O-Meter to my blog.

(Now to Snow City)

Yesterday was the day we went for Snow City Excursion. We made ice cream (liquid nitrogen and boiling water lol) and I brought my own clothes so i didn't have to borrow.


I WENT ON THE SLIDE 13 times! HAHAHAHA RECORD LOL

It was really cold there. The slide was super cool fun! Too bad we weren't allowed to take pictures, because there were "professional" photographers to take for us.


When I came out, I was so angry! You actually had to pay 15 dollars for the photo! Wa lau, money-grabbing freaks.

However, other than that, it was rather enjoyable. =)

P.S. I'm adding a camera onto my wishlist!

P.P.S: I've added many widgets!

Behh, I have to eat lunch now, BB kthanksbaiseeyouagainsoon



EDIT: ZE PICTURES ARE HERE!!!

(the others, anyway)


Antiquated T.V. (the one we used for the filming)

Nice view, hard to come by in Singapore.

Chicken (haha)





AND...... (drum roll)

BONUS NERD PICTURE!!!!



THE ULTIMATE NERD/GEEK of all time!!

(and the nerd smile and weird slippers)
(observe the super cool custom made watch that looks sci-fi because this film is made in 1960)

TA-DAH!

hey guys.

just came back from a movie (the HSM3 we missed on Friday). Came home with not just a hell of a headache, but a f****** migraine. I finally found out I'm allergic to caffeine, and I drank Pepsi just now......

The movie wasn't stellar, but what made today absolutely horrible was the other moviegoers. The audience was mainly children, and a disorderly lot they truly were! Walking along, obstructing my view, loud noises, bright flashes of light (actually that was the movie, and I suffer from epilepsy. Maybe that cause my headache too). And when the two main charact ers kissed, moaning (moaning!) and cheers and jeers filled the whole hall.

Oh, how my head hurts.

Blow-By-Blow Account; Friday

On Friday, we went to the Science Center. The Science Center has this amazing attraction called the Omni-Theatre (where the screen is not only big, it is concave, resulting in a paranomic/ more realistic view. Then, after school, I, Jaron and Randy and Yizhe and erm.... Cleven went to watch a movie. The tickets were sold out, so we went to Randy';s house instead. After that, I took the bus to go to Bukit Batok Swimming Complex, but I got lost, so I had to take a taxi ( got scolded by my mother) After the swimming lesson, my grandfather came to fetch me (surprise) so I stayed at his house for two days (till Sat). Sunday was occupied with activities; my grandfather visited us and today is Monday, and we are going to catch the movie! haha
