Hello..

I passed my swimming bronze test..haha.Xevier my coach said next yr test for silver.

I still can't get the freestyle right.But i'm doing well in breastroke.

This december no swimming lessons because he's away for holiday.Oh yes, some good news:

I'm testing the Grade 3 test next year(which means i will become grade 4) for cello.Comfirmed already.

Can't wait for the trip to hong kong with NASCO.It probably will be disappointing or whatever,but i don't care.

There are so many practices (CO) every week my fingertips are becoming harder and harder.I hope my fingertips don't grow into pulps.That'll be really ugly esp since my hands are not beautiful at all in the first place.

Nothing to type much these days.....oh yes;i haven't done my homework:XX

Stressed!

Chinese Orchestra rocks!Today just went for prac,8-12am.

Anyway i love my cousin Shannon.Her house is really beautiful.A lot of antiques,and almost 90% of her furniture is made of wood.Very homey and christmas-like..i was so touched.

You probably think i'm crazy,LOL fancy getting touched over a house.They are Christians and..let's just say their little decorations and quotes from the bible that was made into numerous plagues touched me..very assured,a very gentle and warm kind of feeling.

Every piece of furniture was decorated intricately and how the furniture was placed was superb.The ambience..the warmth..

And Shannon is so pure and sincere that.I was like,REALLY REALLY touched and on the way home in the car,i just kept staring at the sun.God's grace and all that.

Shannon,my baby cousin (4 yrs old+) gave me a stick-on heart from her refrigerator,a new year card(with a envelope with her child-like handwriting"From : Shannon",and a card that wrote(she wrote it herself):"(a heart shape)I love you ok (and another big heart shape that filled the rest of the paper.)

I WAS REALLY TOUCHED.STILL AM.

OH yes,i fell in love with a game called COMBAT ARMS.

Rocks like hell.More fun than Counterstrike.(according to my bro)

So i'm going to go play now,byebye!

Before swimming today i nearly throwed up.

I don't know why,but when i'm dreading something that is going to happen like NAPFA or swimming 13 laps continuously wihtout stopping at all,i will feel nauseated.Really really nauseated and want to throw up.

Its sort of what you'll call xin li zuo yong,but i can't help it :O!

In the end i huo chu qu,and i didn't stop once.WHEEW.

It was quite fun.Anyway the swimming test is next week.Hope i can pass it.

Today is the PSLE result release.My bro and sis did unexpectedly well for their standards,and i'm proud of them:DDDD

HEEHEE.Went to MBS with bro and sis,saw dion,jingjie,and a guy from 1I whose name i just can't remember.

BYE~!CIAO!

I can already see that i am going to use this skin for quite some time.

Anyway,i've got news for you guys:My father suscribed to Mio TV!YESSS!

So now i can watch Gossip Girls,other big-name-dramas and 2 new movies every month.Just for about nineteen dollars every month.Movie-on-demand.

And they even gave a free notebook,an apron,a stuffed pig,a piglet,a bag and a mouse pad(feat. CJ 7).Yes,totally random.But still good anyway.

Singtel,you should sign me up as your advertiser.Hahaha!

(But actually my phone line is starhub.heehee)

So,done with the boasting--ha.

Anyway,it IS really pathetic that i haven't done any of my homework*groan.

I promise i am going to complete my maths wksheet today.

Then do social studies tomorrow.

Then english the day after tomorrow.

Then read the chinese book.

I promise.Oh,please,come true.

My father just took a video of me sitting in front of the computer and shaking my body and head to New Soul by Yael Naim o.0

He said(fake one la):Can post on YouTube leh!

Lol i get like that when i listen to music,too bad,hehe.

My mother teased me saying that i had body itchiness--hohooho.

Anyway,this is a personality test i did via the link in Geng Hao's site.

My result:Introverted iNtuition Thinking Perceiving
INTP - The "Engineer"
Jungian Personality Types (Free Test)

INTPs are logical, individualistic, reserved, and very curious individuals. They focus on ideas, theories and the explanation of how things work. They are especially adept at discussions and debate. They have the ability to focus intently on a subject. They appreciate and respect intelligence in others.


About the INTP , Expert Quotes & Links

"INTPs are relatively easy-going and amenable to most anything until their principles are violated, about which they may become outspoken and inflexible. They prefer to return, however, to a reserved albeit benign ambiance, not wishing to make spectacles of themselves."
- INTP Profile (TypeLogic)

"The INTP is above all a thinker and his inner (private) world is a place governed by a strong sense of logical structure. Every experience is to be rigorously analysed, the task of the INTP's mind is to fit each encountered idea or experience into a larger structure defined by logic."
- An INTP Profile (intp.org)

"INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations. They seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge. They are the "absent-minded professors", who highly value intelligence and the ability to apply logic to theories to find solutions."
- Portrait of an INTP (The Personality Page)


"The Architects' distant goal is always to rearrange the environment somehow, to shape, to construct, to devise, whether it be buildings, institutions, enterprises, or theories. They look upon the world -- natural and civil -- as little more than raw material to be reshaped according to their design..."
- The Portrait of the Architect Rational (iNTp) (Keirsey)

"INTPs contribute a logical, system-building approach to their work. They like being the architect of a plan, because of the scheming and thinking involved, far more than being the implementer of that plan. Implementation tends to be drudgery. They are content to sit back and think about what might work, given their view of the situation. INTPs may ignore standard operating procedures. The hours that they spend are not what is important to them, but rather the completion of their thought process"
- INTP - The Wizard (Lifexplore)

"likes solitude, not revealing, unemotional, rule breaker, avoidant, familiar with the darkside, skeptical, acts without consulting others"
- Jung Type Descriptions (INTP) (similarminds.com)

so anyway.this quiz was for curiousness.told u i'm one curious person.bye!

Oh,ok.The swimming lesson was cancelled.

I'm searching for our Chinese Orchestra SYF songs,but i just can't find it.

The 2009 set piece Song Of Cicada 蝉歌 and the choice piece 狮城序曲 also cannot find.

Sad.Who got har?Contact me!I want!

Temasek's choice piece is 飞天,which sounded really nice.

Omgoshhhhhhhhhh.

1 hour later is my swimming lesson.I am so damn nervous.

Please,don't let me stop.Don't let me stop!Let me keep swimming.KEEP SWIMMING.

Swim swim swim.Swim well.

Seriously i don't think anyone has such difficulty swimming long distance like i do.But i'll get over it.I WILL.

I can do it.I am so nervous.

But i can.I can!!I can swim 12 laps without stopping at all.I can..i can...i will...wish me luck.Oh,gosh.

I am in love with 'Someday We'll Know' by Mandy Moore ft Jon Foreman.

Quando Quando Quando also rocks.

So does Fly Me To The Moon.

All sort of classic songs.

The chalet was kind of fun,actually.I sort of miss it now.

First day,3 November 2008,Monday:

I didn't know where to find them at the..what?DTE bus stop?So instead i waited at Cheers for them to pick me up since when i realised where they were it was already too late to go so awfully far to go find them.In the end Isaac picked me up.Good ol' Isaac.When we later finally congregated,we went to the NTUC at E!hub to buy all our food for the BBQ.Me and HY raised down the aisle,excited to buy the fishballs and crabmeat.Lame:D,i know.In the end we decided on Dodo fishballs because Hui Yen said it was nicer.But when we raced back to drop the fishballs in the basket we found out it was not the type of fishballs for BBQ,it was the kind used for soups.Nevermind!Race back and change lor!

Janet and her cousin Jessica dressed so alike,grey and pink shirt and matching pants,they looked like TWINS.And they look alike!!So cute!

Well so after we reached the chalet to drop our things we were so HUNGRY,so Janet,Jessica,Pearlyn and me went downstairs to buy food.We found KFC,and Jessica and me ordered Cheese Fries(Yeah!Say cheese!)only but changed our orders when the blue-contact-lensed waitress said we could change it to student meal at $4 instead of the original $3 for cheese fries.Then Janet already ordered a meal that was dunno $7 something,and the waitress failed to inform her there was such a meal before,so the conversation went like this:

Janet:Uh,so you mean there's a student meal?
Waitress:Uh,yeah.
Janet:Then why didnt you tell me before?
Waitress:Well.I forgot.*Shrugs and smiles*
Janet:So,can i refund,and change it to the same student meal?
Waitress:I'm sorry,but i think u cant.*Shrugs and smiles again*

We were sort of worked up,and there complaining when the waitress left the counter.HER SERVICE WAS SUCKY!How can you forget?

When the waitress returned,she returned with the food that the boys behind us ordered.Janet thought it was hers and when (Janet ordered first among us but she got it last) she reached out to take the food,the waitress said,"It's theirs,sorry."

We all turned our eyes to the ceiling.Jessica made *the eye (glared pointetly)at her and she stared back challengingly when Janet and Jessica was out of the shop.Blue contacts?No big deal ok.We just want you to remember something else like a student meal and move fast.

After that we stalked out.Then we went to buy Pearlyn's sushi and Geng Hao's Mars bar.

We ate happily and were there chatting.After eating our lunch we decided to go cycling.The weather was perfect;just after the rain;windy,cloudy and all.

A cycling trip at Pasir Ris park i would never forget.Isaac carried his camera all the way and only used one hand to ride his bicycle.There were puddles of water around the park and when we went through them we held our legs up and skidded through them,looking at the beautiful reflection in the puddle and singing,"I believe i can fly!I believe i can touch the sky!".Some puddles were like 10 metres long and i dont know how we survived it without cycling.

We stood on our bikes at some point of time and whooped.Then later we uncounsiously split into two groups,those riding tandem bikes in one group(tandem bikes:one bicycle,two people) and those riding single bikes in another.Hui Yen rode with Geng Hao and Jasper rode with Yi Ren.Apparently they had to ride this way because the chemistry was better:D

Damn funny,they at first.But they got the hang of it soon enough.

The Single Bike Troupe consisted of Jun Jie,Pearlyn,me,Janet,Jessica and Isaac(Serene hadn't reached at that time;she was coming only at 6pm).We raced around and when we found each other,or you could say crossed each other,Hui Yen and Geng Hao jokingly called us Bitches(i thought it was witches at first,then Jun Jie said when i asked him,"They call us witches for what?" Which had me imagining the single bike troupe wearing a witch hat and cycling around.Looking at Jun Jie made me burst out in laughter,i mean,imagine him in a witch hat!Imagine us in a witch hat!) and slowpokes or something like that.Grhh.So Isaac said,"After them!" and we raced them over.Yeah!

We all had mud on our backs.My tshirt was white(oops) and all the mud sprayed over it.Jasper's back was covered in total mud,while YR's back was covered with sweat,because Jasper blocked the mud for YR.So cool,hahaha!Jun Jie fell down at a small intersection.Lucky he didn't hurt himself,but his t-shirt had become an artpiece,which had all of us roaring in laughter.

I remember there was one point where i led them to a path where the road sloped up and down and turned left and right dangerously which i rode as a kid,coz i used to come here when i was a kid a lot.Then when they came down the slope all of them scramed at me.Hehe,paiseh.Pearlyn so cute,she said,"EE HUI JIE!WHY YOU BRING US HERE!!!!?!" But sort of like fake-mad lar,not really so mad.Hehehe,paiseh paiseh oh!

When we returned our bikes,our shirt was muddy.Yi Ren's back was sweat that ranged from his shirt to his buttocks there,shaped like a heart shape,and we couldn't help but laugh.JJ's as i said was an artpiece and so on:D

When we reached the chalet Jessica was using the toilet and we didn't know,so when me,Janet,Yi Ren and Hui Yen were like staring at the toilet door that was mysteriously closed and with the lights on,and the water running inside,we looked at each other for a second,looked back at the door,and screamed our heads out,everyone rushing to get out of the room.Well,自篇，自导，自演咯:D We scared ouselves for nothing when we realised it was just Jessica using the toilet.

Janet and me even asked Yi Ren and Hui Yen to take a picture of our backs so we could see how it was like.

The BBQ was quite fun;Jessica was a vegetarian so she didn't eat like most of the food.The plates and cups and the butter wasn't enough,so Geng Hao,Hui Yen and Pearlyn went to get more and buy some food for Jessica on the way.

After that we cut the cake and we forced Geng Hao to use only his mouth to get the "Happy Birthday Geng Hao" piece of chocolate and he had to remove his spectacles first,or we wouldn't eat the cake if his face touched it,as he said.Hahaha!The cake was made of ice cream and fairly delicious.Yummy!

Plus Geng Hao's brother was so damn cute la,so obedient!We stayed up into the night playing Truth or Dare, Harry and Mary and telling ghost stories to one another(it was me and jessica).Sorry,didn't intend to scare so many people.

Harry and Mary was DAMNED FUNNY.

Before that we played Cluedo and i won one time,Jessica won one time,and i think Janet won one time too.

Then when Jessica went to he toilet and came out the door locked itself and we were damned horrified.Janet suggested using a straw which obviously couldn't work,we twisted and turned with GH's 10 cents,20 cents and 50 cents coins but to no avail.In the end we used Janet's home keys and they worked like magic.Seriously,i think her keys can break in to any house.Multi-purpose man!Her keys saved the day.

After that we couldn't sleep,but the guys just slept like there was no tomorrow the moment their head touched their pillows.Amazing.Only Isaac was awake.YR was at first awake,but later he went back o the boys room to read his bible and then after that i think he slept le.Isaac came to our room to chat for a while,and his shadow in the dark looked an awful lot like Fido Dido,esoecially with his white glasses!

We couldn't sleep and so we talked and laughed.I don't know how but our topic drifted to bolsters.So i said how i loved my pink bolster,how i hug it like i'm strangling it everyday and smell it like there's no tomorrow,kiss it and 'bao bei' it.Halfway through my illustration the room suddenly became quiet,and suddenly HY and Serene who were both to my left burst out in laughter.Then a second later Jessica and Janet both to my right burst out in a roar of laughter too.Well,turns out i said bolster as booster,and too bad it sounded awfully like rooster.So what they heard was instead,"I love my rooster,i hug it everyday and i smell it everyday.So cute la,my rooster!!" -.- No wonder.Actually my mum got complain before,ask me why bolster 讲成 booster,but i just cant change one.

Jessica also said she got this problem,and for her is "Shark Fin SHUP".Mushroom soup Baby soup she can say properly,but Shark Fin's Soup she can't.Damn cute!

At one point of time everyone turned quiet.I thought everyone sleep liao,so i did not dare move.I had cramps in my stomach which made it a lot worse.I was like thinking,"OMG,the sleep liao!oh shit oh shit...i want to sleep!now!"

I even heard some snoring!I was panicking,to be truthful.I didn't want to end up with a panda eye tomorrow.I was trying to gather evidence that they hadn't sleep,like when they sometimes move or what or mutter something,but to no avail.Plus,Hui Yen said if she couldn't sleep she will sms Yi Ren but she didn't.

Then suddenly Hui Yen beside me made a talking sound and i geared up my courage to ask,"Hui Yen,you never sleep ar?" and she said "Yeah!"

Turns out everyone didn't sleep,and everyone thought everyone else was sleeping,and we laughed our heads off.Jessica slept though.She's like a pro,lie down on the bed then off to dreamland liao:D:D!

We slept at about 6.35 am.Yeah,very pathetic.Isaac says this has something to do with guys going to shopping and buying what they want ONLY while girls when they go shopping they window shop and stroll around.Plus,boys just think of sleeping when they are going to sleep,while girls think of other things before they sleep,that's why they keep up at night and can't sleep.

Actually his theory's right.But nevermind.Girls think of their crushes before they sleep,or what happened that day.For me,when i am scared i think of the person i like,because this gives me something to think about.Really,it works.

Oh yes,and we brushed our teeth together(the girls) in the toilet and i was laughing because it was hilarious.I loved Hui Yen's very minty and fresh toothpaste.Pearlyn didn't stay overnight but she came the next afternoon.

Second Day,4 November 2008,Tuesday:

It was a really humid and hot day,and we woke around 9 to 10 pm.We brushed our teeth and walked around,some people watching TV some calling their parents to check in and let their parents know they were all right(me included).

We walked to E!hub where Serene said goodbye to us because she wasnt feeling very well.Sad,she's our hero!She let me hold her hand so that i wouldn't be scared when i went to the toilet in the dark.Miss her!

We went to McDonald's to eat breakfast,and guess what?The blue-contact-lensed waitress was there with her friend,buying breakfast from McDonald's.And she was wearing her KFC uniform.Such a disgrace to the shop man,fancy going to your enemy's shop in your own uniform and buying their food!Aren't there any rules about that?

The food was delicious.I ordered a Fillet O Fish student meal(i think,i cant be sure) and we occupied three tables:D i sat with Hui Yen and Jessica.Soemhow whenever i look at Jessica and she looks at me we will laugh together.LOL

Then we went to bowl,and we fell in love with bowling.At first i was reluctant ot go,but i was glad i did.Jessica said she would go if i did,but Janet was too tired so she stayed at the chalet to catch a nap.

My bowling skills are like the stocks,sometimes good sometimes bad.First time it sort of sucked.My skills,i mean.It was REALLY FUN.Jessica taught me to aim for the middle while bowling.Actually my cousin also tell me before,but i forgot le.Lucky Jessica told me,and i started to catch the concept of bowling a little bit.Sad,i didn't get a strike.In the past i would get maybe two strikes or 3 strikes occasionally in one game.It was really funny watching JJ bowl,because he was really goofy,and the way he threw the ball and sometimes fell would sent us into peals of laughter.Hui Yen improved with practise,Isaac was like a pro,Jasper swung the ball stylishly and so did his ball drift beautifully,Geng Hao was quite funny,he just couldn't swing the ball,and his facial expressions damn funny.Yi Ren named himself PiSai and he really was a pro in the wrong way:D He put the ball on the lane,squatted down and pushed it.And i think it striked or was a nine.Super pisai!Jessica and me enjoyed saying 'Jia You Pi Sai!' at him.I don't know why he chose that name,but nevermind.

--Zzz i blog until i damn tired sia...wait ah,i go downstairs buy food----

Be yourself;everyone else is already taken.

This straightfoward quote from Oscar Wilde really inspired me a little.

Call me bored to death,call me lame,call me an idiot,but i went to WikiHow and searched 'How to be yourself' because i think that i am too shy around people in general.

My swimming teacher even asked me,"Are you scared of adults?Why do you seem like you don't dare to speak out and have no confidence in yourself?"

God,i thought i was just being polite.

Maybe because due to me constantly stopping midway in the pool even when my swimming instructor told us to swim 8 laps of breastroke without stopping in pajamas,which of course irritated him to no end because i just couldn't swim 8 laps without stopping once.

After the first two or three laps with about 5 stops,i managed to strengthen my willpower a bit.Just a bit.Because i had forgotten how many laps i've swum,and i was constantly looking at my brother in the pool,wondering when on earth he was going to stop.

I must have the worst willpower in the world.I have stamina,but its my mind thats doing the bad.It keeps telling me-whether i'm long-distance running or swimming-that i am gonna stop by the next bend/next lap/next second and i'll still be okay.

Although i know its not okay,i will start to think:Okay,whatever.And i stop.

And the thing about me is that when people ask me questions that i don't know how to answer,i smile.When people ask me catch 22 questions that i know will keep me at the losing end,i don't answer and smile like a fool.

So when my swimming instructor asks,"Why did you stop just now?"(Note:This IS a catch 22 question.Whatever reason i said,it could only be deemed as an excuse,because they really were excuses.)

Me:*Smiling tentatively and looking afraid/embarrassed/like i am at a loss of what to do/unconfident/shy

After the fourth probing,i say out my useless excuse,and my swimming instructor tells me it is just an excuse.(Which i am clearly aware of)

Why couldn't i have just said confidently:Sorry Coach,i will try my best to not do this again?

Yes,i defitnitely have a communication problem with people in some situations.

I hate being so shy.

I am so nervous about the streaming results.

Unpeaceful!

Everytime i open my computer,the first things i go to are :

Facebook
Youtube
Blog
Blogskins

I love Human by The Killers.Nope,i think we're dancers.It's nicer that way.Dancers,dancers,dancers.It's more beautiful that way.

Tomorrow getting back streaming results.I am so nervous now.Initially i wasn't very worried,just bo chap,but now i'm getting a little scared.

Getting a little fidgety.Maybe i should wait for 12 am to come,and then go see the results?NAH.I won't be able to sleep-.-

Argh.
