I officially HATE square roots and anything that is related to it D: I've been revising all night for the Math common test and suddenly - POOF! My ability to work out square/cube roots has vanished. Any memory of Mum/Maths teacher explaining the formula to me is completely gone.
Eurgh.
But I have to work it out myself. I WILL NOT ASK FOR HELP! It ain't about pride; it's just an independence thing.
On to a much happier note, I scored A2 for the chinese common test! At least, I think it's an A2. 37.5/50? 75%? Should be.
C. LS was like [just imagine it's in chinese.],"E1 has 4 students who failed: 3 boys 1 girl. Those who failed need to stay back during CL SSP after dismissal for remedial lessons. It's compulsory."
There were about a dozen different scenarios playing in my head; how I would act, how I would break it to my parents, etc. I had absolutely no idea that I'd pass. In fact, I was so sure that I'd fail that I was praying/thinking in my head, "Dear Lord, thank you for being there with me during the test in Holy Spirit-form. Although I didn't do well this time round, the good learning opportunity you have provided me with will push me to better next time."
So here's a shoutout to my Creator: Thank you for helping me do my best and for everything you've given me. I love you (:

I was walking to the bus stop and there was this pair of crows - big, black & feathery - standing in the middle of the road.
The traffic light turned green. One of the crows flew away into a tree. The other? It just stood there, as if it wasn't aware that 2 tonnes of bone crushing truck was headed towards it.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I was pretty sure that the bird would come out unharmed, probably lucky enough to have gotten in-between the tires instead of under them.
So I was gaping when I saw the poor bird, all crushed and roadkill.
But what really made me teary-eyed was the other bird had flown over to it, trying to drag it away from the middle of the road.
It didn't suceed but hey! It's the thought that counts, right?

Gonna post this entry in what I call my 'thinking' style. Sort of abstract, running from one idea to the next, depending on the activity I'm doing. The breaks indicate a different train of thought, occuring at random intervals.
You can stop reading any time (: I want to be isolated. I want a black hoodie, three sizes too big to cover me up till I'm nothing but a big black shadow, sprawled across on my bed. And I want the lights off. So no one sees me. Vice versa. Hot water cascading down my back feels like heaven. I wonder how long I can stay here. The bathroom smells like lavender. It's my body-wash. I drop down to the floor of my tiny shower stall.
There's a two inch rectangle of black and blue just above my knee. It's ugly. It's beautiful. It's me. But the blue-black isn't either blue or black. It's positively purple. An angry maroon, swirls of green jealousy.
I press the detachable shower head harder against it, fingers rubbing it in vertical motions.
It needs to disappear. I briefly wonder how long it'll take to be gone. Mum says 11 days. Scientifically proven. The purple is nearly a salmon-pink now. Time to stop. What causes the bruise? A stop in the blood flow? The rubbing hurts. Not in the skin-on-fire sense. More of an ache. Like nostalgia. HIPS. HS. SH. C. Z. G. The entire gang. R5. Were you real? Or just another figment of my imagination?

I hate it when guys call a girl 'zhar bor'. It sounds so frickin' derogatory. Oh sure, we're[girls] just inanimate objects who don't mind stupid names and being treated like an inferior make of Man. -coughsarcasmcough- Well, here's a news flash for anyone who believes in the whole 'men-are-better-than-women' crap: If you have this mindset and refuse to think that women are on par with men, you're just another chauvinistic pig. I think you deserve a bullet and a funeral.

Ran 25 laps of about 50m today for PE. It was supposed to be 30 but we didn't have enough time. Even after running over into recess time by 5 mins.
There were some pairs that stopped after they 'got tired'. Complete bulls*#t if you ask me. You didn't see us stopping at 15, didja?
Lit. teacher didn't come so we had 2 free periods in which we only had to complete a quick quiz on The Landlady by Roald Dahl. Uber easy.
Of course, since it was so easy, all of us completed it within 15 minutes. That left - what, 45 minutes? The noise in the classroom was unbearable. Monitors didn't help much either. I think I was unconsciously holding my breath for the DM or at least a teacher from next door to come in and start screaming his/her head off at us and giving the entire class detention.
It didn't happen.
CL tuition went pretty well. There was this girl - P6 & aiming for SCGS - that was there studying too. LaoShi was with her, telling her how much she'd most likely score if she kept up the mediocre work. If I heard correctly, about 210+ or so. Reminds me of well - me.
I kept wanting to go over to her, tell her that all the advice about working hard blahblahblah, yeah - it's all true. I just wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake her and say, "Study hard. Don't make the same stupid mistakes that I did." "Playing is fun. Hell yeah. But y'know what? You only take PSLE once. And you have to do all that you can to do well for it. Trust me on that."
Got home at round' 5.40-ish and went running. Not jogging. Running. My calves felt like they were fire after the first 700m. But running hot[artemis fowl reference] felt good. It was probably the endorphins.

I feel good, nahnahnahnahnah... I knew that I would...
Haha XD Been having moodswings lately. One minute I'm hyper, the next I want to just curl up underneath my shower with hot water pouring down on me while I cry. Of course, I didn't go through with the crying part. I wanted to, though.
Catechism was awesome. God finally answered my prayers: Z'S IN MY CLASS! Wow. I sound just like an actual lovesick teen XD
ONE ST. JOHN OH-EIGHT RAWKS MANNN :D The teachers are funny too. Cept', we're not supposed to call them 'teachers' ; it's supposed to be 'faith formatters'. But who really cares, right?

I think I've seriously forgotten how good pineapple tarts taste. Or maybe cause' the crummy types outnumber the awesomely yummy ones. Y'know, the kind that melts in your mouth and have a sweet-ish but not too sweet taste to the pineapple.
Now, on to another subject.
Debate auditions were today and although I originally signed up for it, Mum convinced me not to join it. I guess she's right; I wouldn't have enough time to study, go for tuition and rest without completely burning out.
Nothing else to post but I'll probably type one up after dinner tonight.
So, toodles darlings ;D
Mood: Adequately Happy Music: Love Song - Sara Bareilles
I've been procrastinating lately and as a result, homework's been piling up in humongous stacks. Worse still, they're all due sometime this/next week. Darn.
I fell asleep doing my Maths assessment yesterday. I don't know what came over me.
One minute, I was working out what was the HCF[highest common factor] of a pair of numbers and the next, I've got my nose tucked in under the fold of my arm. And it was only 9.15pm. I have no clue how I got so tired.
I just hate it when the urge to sleep just springs on to you, no warning whatsoever :/
Anyway, school was borderline horrible today.
I only realised at school that (a) I didn't bring my pencil case (b) I didn't bring my Home Ec. stuff[the teacher lashed out at me for not doing this or that or why hadn't I passed up my file yet, blah blah blah.] and was gonna get a scolding & (c) we were having an after-school lecture on our Hydroponics project[which turned out to be fabulously boring x.x] which coincided with my CL tuition that I desperately needed to attend.
I think now should be the time where everyone goes: WHAT CAN GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG. Hum. Better words never rang truer.
Well I, thought I knew you Thinking, that you were true guess I, I couldn't trust Called your bluff, time is up 'Cause I've had enough You were, there by my side Always, down for the ride But your, joy ride just came down in flames 'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating You probably think that I hold resentment for you But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know how just how capable I am to pull through So I wanna say thank you, cause it...
makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh
Never, saw it coming All of, your backstabbing Just so, you could cash in On a good thing before I realized your game I heard, you're going around Playing, the victim now But don't, even begin Feeling I'm the one to blame 'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanted to haunt me but that won't work anymore Uh, no more, oh no, it's over 'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down So I wanna say thank you
I'm sure no one wants to know of how I woke up at 6am for absolutely no reason, went to CL tuition at 9 and got to art class 15 minutes late. So I'll move right along to the part where I'm gonna start bitching.
We were at a certain shopping centre and found this stall selling bubble tea. Started to queue for it and suddenly realised - THIS WAS A SWEETALK RIP-OFF D<
If you notice, Sweetalk counters have some cups filled with different types of jelly, usually strawberry, coffee etc. This one was exactly the same; they even used the Sweetalk cups! And you know what they did? They put their brand's stickers on top of the Sweetalk logo!
THEIR BRAND!
I was just so f*cking angry. I mean - hello?! Who the hell said that you could use Sweetalk's stuff? Oh yeah. How much is a regular cup of milk tea at Sweetalk? $1.20? And y'know what they charged at that stall? $1.50.
It gets worse. The tea and bubbles weren't even nice -_-
I'm starting to like Geography quite a lot. I think it's the teacher. She's really enthusiastic and funny and elaborates a lot with good examples. Like when we were talking about the scarcity of land, she went on to say that nowadays, HDB blocks are so close together that when you walk in the corridors of our school, you can literally see the maid from the HDB apartment sweeping the floor. LOL XD
EL teacher's okay, I guess. She made us do a self-intro and gave us pointers on public speaking. The only fault I found with her is that she wanted us to blog on WORDPRESS D: Why not blogger? At least you get to use whatever blogskin you like.
Wordpress has boring skins =.=

We had our IT program today and I must say, I LOVEloveLOVE THE iMAC LAB! <3 The Macs are awesomely brand new and have a fish-eye lens which allows you to take photos of yourself. I think I'm gonna bring my thumbdrive next week to bring the photos home. I just hope that the pictures will be compatible with my old PC X:
Stayed back with the rest of the cohort for our 'Too Tuff To Puff' anti-smoking talk/workshop and had tons of fun learning a hip-hop dance routine. Even though none of us knew what we were doing half of the time XD Still, it was fun.
It stopped raining 5 [or was it 6?] stops before my house. But I still felt so - melancholy. I think I know why.
One of my old friends got on to the same bus as me and just brushed past me. No eye contact or even a quick smile. Nothing. Nadda. Zilch. Thing is, he used to be one of my favourite guy friends although he's 2 years my senior. And we live right next to each other.
It's just weird, I guess.
Z's sister smiled at me today. It wasn't one of those "Hi (:" smiles. It was one of those "I know something you don't" kind of smiles. But it wasn't a smirk. It was too pleasant to be one.
I wanted to ask her how he was doing. Was he settling into his Sec school? Which CCA had he chosen? Did she tell him that she saw me? But I'll wait. I'll probably see him on the 20th. Hopefully, we'll be in the same class. But I musn't get my hopes up. Maybe he's changed parish.
On to a much more serious subject now. We had our EL diagnostic tests today and yesterday. The comprehension was hard. Much, much harder than our P6 comprehensions. It ain't fair.
I don't understand a word of what our Math teacher talks about. Most of us agree that we're totally confused with the methods and he sounds like he's talking to himself. Bleh. Common tests are coming up and I know I'll do horribly.
Been feeling quite out of touch with myself lately.
I think it's the PMS kicking in x.x
Our Liteature teacher asked us to read up on some of the stories and one of them was Roald Dahl's 'The Landlady'. Y'know, I think this was one of the most disturbing but admirable stories I've ever read. The funny thing is, when I read the story for the first time, I didn't think it was that disturbing. I think the Lit.'s POV ruined it for me :X
Now you may be wondering why I like it and yet think it's kinda terrifying. No, it's not the stuffed parrot nor is it the fact that Mr Dahl seems to be implying that the Landlady embalms her guests. It's because I can't think of a possible and logical reason why the Landlady would want to embalm her guests.
Can you imagine?
Pure P-S-Y-C-H-O.
Mood: Disgusted but Curious Music: I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
You are strong, adaptable, and striving to be content. You're good at taking what life has to give - even if you don't like it. A passionate lover who can't be satisfied, you are quick tempered at times. You hate loneliness, want love and affection, and need to be needed. A bit of a live wire, you love to gain knowledge any cost... and you can be careless at times.
Your Psyche is Blue
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side. When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you. When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding.
What Kimberly Ang Means
You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

I don't know what to say about Sec 1 Orientation Camp. Seriously. [WARNING: LONG POST COMING UP AHEAD.]
It has to be one of the most straight up weirdest, fun, tiring and highhhhh!-inducing camps I've ever attended. Okay, that wasn't a good comparison since I've only been to, like, THREE camps =.=
Our class was really awesome for the first day till about 1 or 2pm when everyone started getting all lethargic and bored and according to some of the boys, TIRED. Therefore during the cheer segment, we didn't manage to get a single point.
How pathetic is that?!
I really felt like screaming at the guys.
Anyway, we had mass dances like the chicken dance [LOL!], the Ketchup dance and my fave, the Mary Moon Dance (:
Sorry for not putting up the imeem version of New Age Girl but I could only find the 30-second preview version and that's not enough to show you how fun it is to dance to the song.
The second day was much better since we had a personality profiling session in the morning which required just sitting in an air-conditioned room and listening to this ex-teacher-turned motivator talk about the various kinds of personalities following the DISC personality types. I'm a C-S-C person. That means that the image I present to the public is a C, the personality I am deep down is an S[ass XD] & the person people think I am is a C.
After the session, we had lunch and then, RUSHHOUR! I got totally highhh! during the game for some reason. I think it was the screaming and cheering and running about we had to do.
If you don't know [and you probably don't], RUSHHOUR is a sort of Amazing Race-style game where teams consist of about 11-13 players who have one hand tied to each other with the help of raffia string and elastic bands. At the start of the game, teams are given a clue each and are supposed to go to that place and complete a challenge. Upon completing the challenge, the team will be given another card which gives them a clue to their next destination. Sound fun?
I got loads of really horrid-looking blue-blacks on my sock lines cause' during one of the challenges, we were supposed to tie our legs into pairs with raffia strings that had a plastic bag full of air and water tied to it and to keep the bags from getting burst while one of the challenge's station masters tried to step on the bags.
The Campfire was awfully fun. We mass-danced, cheered, laughed, screamed[my friend remarked that I sounded like a cat XD] & jumped about all during the campfire. I think this was one of my favourite campfires. And that's saying something since I've been to at least 6 :O
Today was so-so. A lot of us were super tired from last night's camp so we couldn't really scream during the Prize Presentation where we were awarded the Most 'Enthu' Class Prize. CCA orientation was after that and a total BORE. Even worse, after the Orientation was over and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted, wherever I walked, I was totally ambushed by some sort of CCA asking me to check out the booth.
Ambushed:
3rd Floor Corridor facing the Parade Square - Gu Zheng
Staircase from Hall to the Amphitheatre - Gu Zheng, AGAIN XD
Main Block Staircase - Shooting Club
In front of General Office - Girl Guides! I wanna joinnnnn....
Post-Lunch Activities occured in this order: Changed into casual clothes ; Headed to NAFA for Art Class ; Went to Robinsons to shop ; dinner ; home.
So yeah, that about sums up what I want to say for now and I'll post more soon (:
P.S: Z's sister recognized me after lunch in the cafeteria on the 2nd day and asked me, "You know Z______, right? I'm his sister."
And then, when I was in the toilet during the campfire helping my friend wash off the fluorescence from her burst glow stick, Z's sister came into the toilet and said, "You're Kimberly, aren't you?" I was really shocked that she knew my name. I mean, I wasn't wearing a nametag or anything and yet she still knew who I was while I didn't know her name at all. Has Z. told her about me?
-sighs- Sorry, I was just dreaming. He's probably forgotten all about me already.

Wow. I've survived the first day of school and come out 100% alive. Totally unexpected.
We had our Sec 1 briefing today, starting with an overly long speech by the principal right up to a spot-check. Thank God I removed my clear nail polish yesterday and pulled my fringe back instead of leaving it dangling behind my ear.
I saw one of the other teachers asking one group of girls to go outside the hall to see the DM[Discipline Manager/Master/Mistress] just cause' they didn't pin up their fringes. Unfair, I say. What's more, their fringes were a really respectable length and decent looking, not the kind which obscure an eye or two.
So strict x.x
I see why after going to ZHSS for 3 months, my cousin chopped off her lovely long hair.
Okay, more about the class now.
According to the teacher, 1E1's the 'best' class of the entire Sec 1 cohort. Half of me thinks knows that the teacher's lying but the other half is thanking the person who did the allocation of students to classes for putting me in the class.
I don't know anyone in my class. Well, maybe Aren I suppose. I think I saw Joyce and Janet somewhere in the throng of students but I've been wrong before.
The students in my class were really quiet today. It seemed almost as if there was this unspoken 'No Talking' rule and everyone had the tact not to ask why it was there and to just follow it.
During recess, I felt so f*cking weird. Out of place. Especially since I didn't know anyone and had absolutely no reason to approach anyone. So I did the only thing I could.
I hid in the NE corner and read a book.
I think I'm becoming the thing I've always wanted to be but hated the most: An anti-social snob with no friends whatsoever who's too freaked out to do anything about it.
O:

C. LS was like [just imagine it's in chinese.],"E1 has 4 students who failed: 3 boys 1 girl. Those who failed need to stay back during CL SSP after dismissal for remedial lessons. It's compulsory."
There were about a dozen different scenarios playing in my head; how I would act, how I would break it to my parents, etc. I had absolutely no idea that I'd pass. In fact, I was so sure that I'd fail that I was praying/thinking in my head, "Dear Lord, thank you for being there with me during the test in Holy Spirit-form. Although I didn't do well this time round, the good learning opportunity you have provided me with will push me to better next time."
So here's a shoutout to my Creator: Thank you for helping me do my best and for everything you've given me. I love you (:

I was walking to the bus stop and there was this pair of crows - big, black & feathery - standing in the middle of the road.
The traffic light turned green. One of the crows flew away into a tree. The other? It just stood there, as if it wasn't aware that 2 tonnes of bone crushing truck was headed towards it.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I was pretty sure that the bird would come out unharmed, probably lucky enough to have gotten in-between the tires instead of under them.
So I was gaping when I saw the poor bird, all crushed and roadkill.
But what really made me teary-eyed was the other bird had flown over to it, trying to drag it away from the middle of the road.
It didn't suceed but hey! It's the thought that counts, right?

Gonna post this entry in what I call my 'thinking' style. Sort of abstract, running from one idea to the next, depending on the activity I'm doing. The breaks indicate a different train of thought, occuring at random intervals.
You can stop reading any time (: I want to be isolated. I want a black hoodie, three sizes too big to cover me up till I'm nothing but a big black shadow, sprawled across on my bed. And I want the lights off. So no one sees me. Vice versa. Hot water cascading down my back feels like heaven. I wonder how long I can stay here. The bathroom smells like lavender. It's my body-wash. I drop down to the floor of my tiny shower stall.
There's a two inch rectangle of black and blue just above my knee. It's ugly. It's beautiful. It's me. But the blue-black isn't either blue or black. It's positively purple. An angry maroon, swirls of green jealousy.
I press the detachable shower head harder against it, fingers rubbing it in vertical motions.
It needs to disappear. I briefly wonder how long it'll take to be gone. Mum says 11 days. Scientifically proven. The purple is nearly a salmon-pink now. Time to stop. What causes the bruise? A stop in the blood flow? The rubbing hurts. Not in the skin-on-fire sense. More of an ache. Like nostalgia. HIPS. HS. SH. C. Z. G. The entire gang. R5. Were you real? Or just another figment of my imagination?

I hate it when guys call a girl 'zhar bor'. It sounds so frickin' derogatory. Oh sure, we're[girls] just inanimate objects who don't mind stupid names and being treated like an inferior make of Man. -coughsarcasmcough- Well, here's a news flash for anyone who believes in the whole 'men-are-better-than-women' crap: If you have this mindset and refuse to think that women are on par with men, you're just another chauvinistic pig. I think you deserve a bullet and a funeral.

Ran 25 laps of about 50m today for PE. It was supposed to be 30 but we didn't have enough time. Even after running over into recess time by 5 mins.
There were some pairs that stopped after they 'got tired'. Complete bulls*#t if you ask me. You didn't see us stopping at 15, didja?
Lit. teacher didn't come so we had 2 free periods in which we only had to complete a quick quiz on The Landlady by Roald Dahl. Uber easy.
Of course, since it was so easy, all of us completed it within 15 minutes. That left - what, 45 minutes? The noise in the classroom was unbearable. Monitors didn't help much either. I think I was unconsciously holding my breath for the DM or at least a teacher from next door to come in and start screaming his/her head off at us and giving the entire class detention.
It didn't happen.
CL tuition went pretty well. There was this girl - P6 & aiming for SCGS - that was there studying too. LaoShi was with her, telling her how much she'd most likely score if she kept up the mediocre work. If I heard correctly, about 210+ or so. Reminds me of well - me.
I kept wanting to go over to her, tell her that all the advice about working hard blahblahblah, yeah - it's all true. I just wanted to grab her by the shoulders, shake her and say, "Study hard. Don't make the same stupid mistakes that I did." "Playing is fun. Hell yeah. But y'know what? You only take PSLE once. And you have to do all that you can to do well for it. Trust me on that."
Got home at round' 5.40-ish and went running. Not jogging. Running. My calves felt like they were fire after the first 700m. But running hot[artemis fowl reference] felt good. It was probably the endorphins.

I feel good, nahnahnahnahnah... I knew that I would...
Haha XD Been having moodswings lately. One minute I'm hyper, the next I want to just curl up underneath my shower with hot water pouring down on me while I cry. Of course, I didn't go through with the crying part. I wanted to, though.
Catechism was awesome. God finally answered my prayers: Z'S IN MY CLASS! Wow. I sound just like an actual lovesick teen XD
ONE ST. JOHN OH-EIGHT RAWKS MANNN :D The teachers are funny too. Cept', we're not supposed to call them 'teachers' ; it's supposed to be 'faith formatters'. But who really cares, right?

I think I've seriously forgotten how good pineapple tarts taste. Or maybe cause' the crummy types outnumber the awesomely yummy ones. Y'know, the kind that melts in your mouth and have a sweet-ish but not too sweet taste to the pineapple.
Now, on to another subject.
Debate auditions were today and although I originally signed up for it, Mum convinced me not to join it. I guess she's right; I wouldn't have enough time to study, go for tuition and rest without completely burning out.
Nothing else to post but I'll probably type one up after dinner tonight.
So, toodles darlings ;D
Mood: Adequately Happy Music: Love Song - Sara Bareilles
I've been procrastinating lately and as a result, homework's been piling up in humongous stacks. Worse still, they're all due sometime this/next week. Darn.
I fell asleep doing my Maths assessment yesterday. I don't know what came over me.
One minute, I was working out what was the HCF[highest common factor] of a pair of numbers and the next, I've got my nose tucked in under the fold of my arm. And it was only 9.15pm. I have no clue how I got so tired.
I just hate it when the urge to sleep just springs on to you, no warning whatsoever :/
Anyway, school was borderline horrible today.
I only realised at school that (a) I didn't bring my pencil case (b) I didn't bring my Home Ec. stuff[the teacher lashed out at me for not doing this or that or why hadn't I passed up my file yet, blah blah blah.] and was gonna get a scolding & (c) we were having an after-school lecture on our Hydroponics project[which turned out to be fabulously boring x.x] which coincided with my CL tuition that I desperately needed to attend.
I think now should be the time where everyone goes: WHAT CAN GO WRONG, WILL GO WRONG. Hum. Better words never rang truer.
Well I, thought I knew you Thinking, that you were true guess I, I couldn't trust Called your bluff, time is up 'Cause I've had enough You were, there by my side Always, down for the ride But your, joy ride just came down in flames 'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm
After all of the stealing and cheating You probably think that I hold resentment for you But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong 'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know how just how capable I am to pull through So I wanna say thank you, cause it...
makes me that much stronger Makes me work a little bit harder It makes me that much wiser So thanks for making me a fighter Made me learn a little bit faster Made my skin a little bit thicker Makes me that much smarter So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, ohh
Never, saw it coming All of, your backstabbing Just so, you could cash in On a good thing before I realized your game I heard, you're going around Playing, the victim now But don't, even begin Feeling I'm the one to blame 'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanted to haunt me but that won't work anymore Uh, no more, oh no, it's over 'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down So I wanna say thank you
I'm sure no one wants to know of how I woke up at 6am for absolutely no reason, went to CL tuition at 9 and got to art class 15 minutes late. So I'll move right along to the part where I'm gonna start bitching.
We were at a certain shopping centre and found this stall selling bubble tea. Started to queue for it and suddenly realised - THIS WAS A SWEETALK RIP-OFF D<
If you notice, Sweetalk counters have some cups filled with different types of jelly, usually strawberry, coffee etc. This one was exactly the same; they even used the Sweetalk cups! And you know what they did? They put their brand's stickers on top of the Sweetalk logo!
THEIR BRAND!
I was just so f*cking angry. I mean - hello?! Who the hell said that you could use Sweetalk's stuff? Oh yeah. How much is a regular cup of milk tea at Sweetalk? $1.20? And y'know what they charged at that stall? $1.50.
It gets worse. The tea and bubbles weren't even nice -_-
I'm starting to like Geography quite a lot. I think it's the teacher. She's really enthusiastic and funny and elaborates a lot with good examples. Like when we were talking about the scarcity of land, she went on to say that nowadays, HDB blocks are so close together that when you walk in the corridors of our school, you can literally see the maid from the HDB apartment sweeping the floor. LOL XD
EL teacher's okay, I guess. She made us do a self-intro and gave us pointers on public speaking. The only fault I found with her is that she wanted us to blog on WORDPRESS D: Why not blogger? At least you get to use whatever blogskin you like.
Wordpress has boring skins =.=

We had our IT program today and I must say, I LOVEloveLOVE THE iMAC LAB! <3 The Macs are awesomely brand new and have a fish-eye lens which allows you to take photos of yourself. I think I'm gonna bring my thumbdrive next week to bring the photos home. I just hope that the pictures will be compatible with my old PC X:
Stayed back with the rest of the cohort for our 'Too Tuff To Puff' anti-smoking talk/workshop and had tons of fun learning a hip-hop dance routine. Even though none of us knew what we were doing half of the time XD Still, it was fun.
It stopped raining 5 [or was it 6?] stops before my house. But I still felt so - melancholy. I think I know why.
One of my old friends got on to the same bus as me and just brushed past me. No eye contact or even a quick smile. Nothing. Nadda. Zilch. Thing is, he used to be one of my favourite guy friends although he's 2 years my senior. And we live right next to each other.
It's just weird, I guess.
Z's sister smiled at me today. It wasn't one of those "Hi (:" smiles. It was one of those "I know something you don't" kind of smiles. But it wasn't a smirk. It was too pleasant to be one.
I wanted to ask her how he was doing. Was he settling into his Sec school? Which CCA had he chosen? Did she tell him that she saw me? But I'll wait. I'll probably see him on the 20th. Hopefully, we'll be in the same class. But I musn't get my hopes up. Maybe he's changed parish.
On to a much more serious subject now. We had our EL diagnostic tests today and yesterday. The comprehension was hard. Much, much harder than our P6 comprehensions. It ain't fair.
I don't understand a word of what our Math teacher talks about. Most of us agree that we're totally confused with the methods and he sounds like he's talking to himself. Bleh. Common tests are coming up and I know I'll do horribly.
Been feeling quite out of touch with myself lately.
I think it's the PMS kicking in x.x
Our Liteature teacher asked us to read up on some of the stories and one of them was Roald Dahl's 'The Landlady'. Y'know, I think this was one of the most disturbing but admirable stories I've ever read. The funny thing is, when I read the story for the first time, I didn't think it was that disturbing. I think the Lit.'s POV ruined it for me :X
Now you may be wondering why I like it and yet think it's kinda terrifying. No, it's not the stuffed parrot nor is it the fact that Mr Dahl seems to be implying that the Landlady embalms her guests. It's because I can't think of a possible and logical reason why the Landlady would want to embalm her guests.
Can you imagine?
Pure P-S-Y-C-H-O.
Mood: Disgusted but Curious Music: I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
You are strong, adaptable, and striving to be content. You're good at taking what life has to give - even if you don't like it. A passionate lover who can't be satisfied, you are quick tempered at times. You hate loneliness, want love and affection, and need to be needed. A bit of a live wire, you love to gain knowledge any cost... and you can be careless at times.
Your Psyche is Blue
You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side. When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you. When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding.
What Kimberly Ang Means
You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.
The Recipe For Kimberly Ang

I don't know what to say about Sec 1 Orientation Camp. Seriously. [WARNING: LONG POST COMING UP AHEAD.]
It has to be one of the most straight up weirdest, fun, tiring and highhhhh!-inducing camps I've ever attended. Okay, that wasn't a good comparison since I've only been to, like, THREE camps =.=
Our class was really awesome for the first day till about 1 or 2pm when everyone started getting all lethargic and bored and according to some of the boys, TIRED. Therefore during the cheer segment, we didn't manage to get a single point.
How pathetic is that?!
I really felt like screaming at the guys.
Anyway, we had mass dances like the chicken dance [LOL!], the Ketchup dance and my fave, the Mary Moon Dance (:
Sorry for not putting up the imeem version of New Age Girl but I could only find the 30-second preview version and that's not enough to show you how fun it is to dance to the song.
The second day was much better since we had a personality profiling session in the morning which required just sitting in an air-conditioned room and listening to this ex-teacher-turned motivator talk about the various kinds of personalities following the DISC personality types. I'm a C-S-C person. That means that the image I present to the public is a C, the personality I am deep down is an S[ass XD] & the person people think I am is a C.
After the session, we had lunch and then, RUSHHOUR! I got totally highhh! during the game for some reason. I think it was the screaming and cheering and running about we had to do.
If you don't know [and you probably don't], RUSHHOUR is a sort of Amazing Race-style game where teams consist of about 11-13 players who have one hand tied to each other with the help of raffia string and elastic bands. At the start of the game, teams are given a clue each and are supposed to go to that place and complete a challenge. Upon completing the challenge, the team will be given another card which gives them a clue to their next destination. Sound fun?
I got loads of really horrid-looking blue-blacks on my sock lines cause' during one of the challenges, we were supposed to tie our legs into pairs with raffia strings that had a plastic bag full of air and water tied to it and to keep the bags from getting burst while one of the challenge's station masters tried to step on the bags.
The Campfire was awfully fun. We mass-danced, cheered, laughed, screamed[my friend remarked that I sounded like a cat XD] & jumped about all during the campfire. I think this was one of my favourite campfires. And that's saying something since I've been to at least 6 :O
Today was so-so. A lot of us were super tired from last night's camp so we couldn't really scream during the Prize Presentation where we were awarded the Most 'Enthu' Class Prize. CCA orientation was after that and a total BORE. Even worse, after the Orientation was over and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted, wherever I walked, I was totally ambushed by some sort of CCA asking me to check out the booth.
Ambushed:
3rd Floor Corridor facing the Parade Square - Gu Zheng
Staircase from Hall to the Amphitheatre - Gu Zheng, AGAIN XD
Main Block Staircase - Shooting Club
In front of General Office - Girl Guides! I wanna joinnnnn....
Post-Lunch Activities occured in this order: Changed into casual clothes ; Headed to NAFA for Art Class ; Went to Robinsons to shop ; dinner ; home.
So yeah, that about sums up what I want to say for now and I'll post more soon (:
P.S: Z's sister recognized me after lunch in the cafeteria on the 2nd day and asked me, "You know Z______, right? I'm his sister."
And then, when I was in the toilet during the campfire helping my friend wash off the fluorescence from her burst glow stick, Z's sister came into the toilet and said, "You're Kimberly, aren't you?" I was really shocked that she knew my name. I mean, I wasn't wearing a nametag or anything and yet she still knew who I was while I didn't know her name at all. Has Z. told her about me?
-sighs- Sorry, I was just dreaming. He's probably forgotten all about me already.

@ 16:29
Wow. I've survived the first day of school and come out 100% alive. Totally unexpected.
We had our Sec 1 briefing today, starting with an overly long speech by the principal right up to a spot-check. Thank God I removed my clear nail polish yesterday and pulled my fringe back instead of leaving it dangling behind my ear.
I saw one of the other teachers asking one group of girls to go outside the hall to see the DM[Discipline Manager/Master/Mistress] just cause' they didn't pin up their fringes. Unfair, I say. What's more, their fringes were a really respectable length and decent looking, not the kind which obscure an eye or two.
So strict x.x
I see why after going to ZHSS for 3 months, my cousin chopped off her lovely long hair.
Okay, more about the class now.
According to the teacher, 1E1's the 'best' class of the entire Sec 1 cohort. Half of me thinks knows that the teacher's lying but the other half is thanking the person who did the allocation of students to classes for putting me in the class.
I don't know anyone in my class. Well, maybe Aren I suppose. I think I saw Joyce and Janet somewhere in the throng of students but I've been wrong before.
The students in my class were really quiet today. It seemed almost as if there was this unspoken 'No Talking' rule and everyone had the tact not to ask why it was there and to just follow it.
During recess, I felt so f*cking weird. Out of place. Especially since I didn't know anyone and had absolutely no reason to approach anyone. So I did the only thing I could.
I hid in the NE corner and read a book.
I think I'm becoming the thing I've always wanted to be but hated the most: An anti-social snob with no friends whatsoever who's too freaked out to do anything about it.
O:
Moving on.
I really like LJ's current mood/music feature so from 2008 onwards, I'll be putting it at the end of my posts. Fun, eh?
