i know that if i procrastinate, i will never actually come and post this, so i might as well do it now, right?
today was teacher's day! the school concert and aces day thing was fun, but this isnt what im here to post about. kind of ironic isnt it...its teacher's day, and what im here to post about isnt really related to teacher's day celebrations in school or something. hm. anyway.
after school was released and stuff, i went to take a bus to OLGC. alone. erica decided not to go...at the last minute -.- so i took 159, and bumped into praveena and aruna [sorry if i spelled your name wrong] and we all took 159 together :D much nicer than taking the bus alone hahah.
then i walked allllll the way into OLCG's campus [its literally EMBEDDED in landed housing estates...], and finally got to the school. all the students and the teachers were still having assembly and a concert and stuff, so me and geo [who i 'found' there XD] went up to the hall to see the teachers.
we some of the P4/5 students doing this skit, with the still-too-loud-mics that we used two or three years ago ahaha! some things never change :) then we said hi to almost all the teachers [or at least those we remember] and almost all of them remebered us! so amazing right? as a teacher, you're going to have so so so many batches of kids going in and out of the school, but our teachers [some who taught us in P2!! thats like SIX years ago!] still remembered us! that was really really nice :D
then we went to explore the school, and it turns out they have so many more nice facilities, like a prayer room, a MUCH nicer library, dance studio etc. then when we were walking around, we saw 杨老师 there! i have this feeling she's almost at her retirement age, but she's still looking strong and everything o.o still going around the school bringing the students to get their bag or something aha. still the same 杨老师 i guess :D we went to talk to her about school and stuff, and she told us that there was going to be a year end dinner thing in school! so we can come and have fun haha :DD
we went to look around the school some more, and we saw the garden of peace again. doesnt look half as nice as the old one though :/ this one looks awfully...concrete? ._<>
garden of peace, so its HAS to be nice right?! XD
then we went to look at the rest of the school, which unfortunatly, is also very...uh...white. like a mental institution, and nothing like our past OLGC. how sad.
then we went back to the garden of peace to wait for Sandra and xinfeng. by the time they came, it was already 1+ actually.... and sandra sprained her ankle while playing netball, so she was using crutches. and i have to say, that she is the FASTEST person on crutches i have ever seen in my life. seriously fast. me and xinfeng went to drink water while sandra and geo went to the swing, and while we were at the right of the court, sandra was already 3/4 there. scary XD
so we went to play on the swing, one of the only parts of the new school i like, its a blue garden swing, the sort that's made of metal. the only problem is that its placed in a place that has a whole lot of sun, so the metal is hot...and when you sit there its hot as well... but its a small price to pay for fun right? :)
geo and sandra!
xf and me XD
then at last, the security guards chased us out of the school grounds, cause according to them, all the teachers were leaving for lunch, and so we had to get out of there by 1.45pm. weird rules. but jien, connie and marie werent there yet, so we decided to meet them at J8 for lunch. due to Sandra's current physical condition, we decided to take a cab. we were going to give up hailing one, cause there were really really few cabs going past, and they were all busy. then just as sandra was saying that we should walk instead, a cab came! sandra has magical word powers ahaha :D
hahah 2-5! :D xf is in 2/5 too, just a different school. she takes drama too! :DD
then we finally got there and went to the food court where we found jien and connie! we went in, found a table large enough for seven, then went to eat. but marie didnt come yet. at last a lot of people ended up eating pepper lunch, one of my favourites hahah :D of course, at last, marie did come, then we acted like we didnt know her LOL.
my, jien, connie and xf's food!
marie and a very-interested-in-the-speed-of-ice-melting-on-a-hotplate-sandra haha
then everyone realised it was sandra's birthday and so xf and connie "went to the toilet" [aka, go buy her present XD] and me, jien, marie and geo BOMBARDED sandra with jokes. all jokes. racist ones, lame ones, half-forgotten ones haha. at one time, sandra laughed so hard, she fell sideways onto the chair beside her hahahahah! then marie left to "the toilet" too. and we continued to tell sandra jokes.
after a LONG time, they finally came back. xf covered sandra's eyes and they gave her her present and card. no wonder they took so long hahah. they were doing the card. but everything turned out nice, cause sandra liked the present and stuff XD [prince of tennis puzzle and a poopy key chain] then we asked this nice lady at the other table to take a photo of us! :D
top: me, xinfeng, constance, marie
bottom: georgia, sandra, jiennee
:)
then everyone went to popular according to sandra's request, and me and jien found that we have a similar interest:
TOUCH-AND-FEEL BOOKS! :D
the kiddy sort with big letters, thick pages, flaps, fabric handles, squeeky bits, buttons, basket-material and stuff like that. we sat on the floor and grabbed all those kiddy books hahahaha!
we have a deprived childhood LOL. or maybe thats what everyone else who saw us were thinking hahahahaha!
after that, we went to get bubble tea! i got chocolate, cause thats what i always get from opposite ANDESS, but this time, this chocolate bubble tea was DISGUSTING. so very very very very disgusting. everyone [after trying] agreed ._. oh well. i still finished it anyway XD
then at last, everyone had to go home [it was 4+ already] and so jien and xf went to take the MRT, geo went to take the bus, me, connie, sandra and marie went to the interchange to take a bus. halfway through the walk to the queue for buses 53/54/56/58, we saw a 53 go past [the bus that marie was going to take] then sandra was like, "MARIE! 53!!!!" then marie ran all the way to the edge of the other side of the interchange, when we saw the 53 turn into the rest area instead ahahahahah!
then at last everyone went home :)

im supposed to be finishing up the stupid assignment 19...but i rarely have the urge to blog, which i have now, so i shall take a break and blog :D
arts fest is coming soon! which means that ATC sessions are mostly dedicated to arts fest preperation, which isnt that bad really. we get to do more hands on stuff which is fun heh. we split into the different levels this time [sec1, 2, 3] to do the little play thing. the sec ones had fractured fairytale [or something like that], the sec threes had this cluedo-game scenario, and we, the sec twos, were left with nothing, cause miss lee had no more ideas. so we did the same thing we did in o level drama for our assessment, we were given some elements [characters, object, place] and we were to make a piece out of it. sounds quite okay right? not when the elements were Magician, Masked Man, Dancer, Toilet Cleaner, Crab [originally a character, but at last it was used as an object. its not like we had any choice xD], Spectacles and Prison.
we had one hour to prepare the whole thing, and yet we spent 40 minutes discussing the whole thing [which was pretty tough, considering the stuff we were given really...], about 10 minutes for rehearsel, and 5minutes for un-related events and talking :P but considering the circumstances, our play was pretty darn good! hehe x)
our story was about these criminals being interrogated [Magician, Masked Man, Dancer and Toilet Cleaner] for the crimes they committed, and each crime was a small flashback.
the Toilet cleaner poisoned a ambassador's chili crab accidentally, with bleach. hahahahaha :D then at the end he was like, oh my god. i didnt know bleach was POISONOUS. ahahahah. then he dragged the corpse off stage.
the dancer had "stabbed" a clubber when he was performing, and killed her. he was doing a knife/dagger dance [o.o] and his palm got sweaty and the dagger slipped, and stabbed this innocent clubber hahah. then the toilet cleaner came again and dragged that corpse out too.
then came the masked man. who had no mask [no props at that point in time], but instead used hair to cover the face haha. then she was playing catch with another girl at the MRT station, and pushed another lady down the tracks, and she got run over by the MRT. that was funny. not the she-died part, but the the-mrt-was-just-three-people-playing-choo-choo-train-and-they-just-stepped-over-her-part. hahahahahahahahah :D then the toilet cleaner came yet AGAIN to drag the corpse out. weird.
then it was the magician. the DRUNK magician. she killed a girl at one of the magic shows. DROWNED the girl. all because she had the wrong keys. pfft. blur :P then the cleaner came to drag her off again, and he said : now a days ah, dont know what young people do. WHOLE body wet. there's a hidden message in there aha XD
it was FUN! and at last the people got out of the prison anyway. pole dancing ahah. then we watched the sec one's piece, and the sec three's piece, which were both great too! :D the sec three's piece was pretty nice. at last it was the maid who killed mr. x haha. poisoned his tea.
after that it was already really late, so me and praveena went home. its nice to have someone to take 159 with me heh. she was nice enough to share her chocolaty biscuits too :D praveena's funny. she licks out the chocolate container part of the biscuit box. ahaha.
you're so...different.Labels: arts fest is coming :)

aah. tired. thank god all tests will end this week. YAY. but that means two/three tests tomorrow. darn.
yesterday was our napfa five items! technically it was four items, cause we couldnt run the shuttle run because it was raining. we almost had to run infront of the bathrooms-between the cca-rooms there. less friction. bad ): anyway we didnt run at last, and we ran today xD i missed A by 0.1 seconds ._. ah well. 11.6secs isnt THAT bad i guess... standing broad jump missed A by 4cm. rawr.
all the tests are already over [WOOHOO!] except for english, literature, chinese and maybe Home Ec. which i doubt, but still. oh and there's drama assessment next week. but its improv, so i guess no actual preperation is really needed. better safe than sorry though. oh and Agamenmon is this saturday. all O level drama people this time round. i hope the show is nice :)
its already near the end of term 3...which means its time for year ends. which means the year is coming to a close SUPER soon...which means december holidays are coming! but it also means streaming ._. as in, put-you-in-very-different-classes-according-to-your-standardised-test's-grades-which-arent-always-accurate streaming. which also means choosing subject combinations...hm. at least i pretty much decided on what i want already. i just hope i can get the combination i want =x
chinese history test tomorrow. english too. and lit. i better sleep early...
once bitten, twice shy.
im tired of fighting.

today after o level drama, me, carmina and jerald went to opposite's playground to play marco polo. then after three + rounds of it, when i was getting ready to find them, then this pretty old Indian guy came up to me and started to say something which was incomprehensable at that point of time. so i looked at carmina and jerald blankly, and they came over. then that old guy moved towards [at a pretty slow pace really...] the metal sign board at the front of the playground. the one that had "playground rules" on them. he pointed towards the first line, which happened to be:
This playground was designed for the enjoyment of children of 4 to 12 years old
THE GUY WAS TRYING TO REINFORCE A STUPID AGE LIMIT. he was trying to imply that we were too old to be playing on this playground. pfft.
i heard the words "you're not 12", "not obeying the rules" and something along the lines of "please get off the playground equipment".
HE WAS TRYING TO CHASE US OUT OF THE PLAYGROUND. it wasnt HIS anyway -_-" but to keep the school name [which we probably already damaged LOL], we left. of course, we left with jerald and me saying a lot of what-the-hell-s.
facinating. the first time i ever saw someone actually telling someone else, to get off the playground. granted, the guy had a "valid reason", but HELLO, there are zillions and zillions of other people, some which are andersonians, who come to this playground everyday to sit and chat or play! you cant chase us all out. call the HDB, see what they do. pfft.

okay....
there's this girl you see,and her daddy went to America for some school thing for two months, and he's coming back this monday, and she's really happy.
then a while ago, this girl went into her mom's room, and she saw her mom sending her dad an sms, and the girl, out of pure curiosity, asked her mom why she was sending her dad an sms, right when her daddy was going to board the plane and stuff. the girl's mom said that she had just watched the news, and it said something about NewYork having some kind of terrorist alert.
then the girl got really worried. then she remembered this thing about the 911. then she got even more worried. then her mom said not to worry, cause its just an alert, and the police did all the checks and said that its pretty safe.
but then again, adults arent always right. no one is.
so the girl goes back into her room, sits in her old computer chair and goes to her laptop. then she tries not to think about the things that could be happening, and more on present situations which she could affect. so she went to print out her maths, check her school's website for drama and art homework, and discussed with her two friends about an art project. then suddenly, they go very very quiet....which leads her to think about things which arent supposed to be thought about.
then she decides that her friends wouldnt mind if she went quiet for a while too, and went to blog. the girl decides to sleep on it. she really hopes for the best. i know.Labels: this girl...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! :D
42 years old already...not bad for a little red dot aha.
the national day parade was just as nice as every other year :D this time its at marina bay...so there were boats and stuff. so cool how they can do all those different stunts in the water... and i can see fireworks from my house! only the really tall and big ones though. i like the yellowy-golden ones aha.
besides being more TIRED these days, i realised that so many more people are either:
a. depressed
b. emo
c. all of the above.
why? what is it in sec2 that makes people so...different [no, to those taking sec2 o level drama, i DIDNT copy that intentionally, it just came into my head]. and yet the same. hm.
thats something to consider...
for someone/something to be different...yet still the same. somewhere. hm.Labels: national day
