You used to talk to me like I was the only one around
You used to lean on me.. the only other choice was falling down
You used to walk with me like we had nowhere we needed to go
Nice and slow, to no place in particular

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear you were the first star I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought...we Used to know
At least there's you and at least there's me
Can we get this back, can we get this back...
To how it used to be

I used to reach for you when I got lost along the way
I used to listen, you always had just the right thing to say
I used to follow you, never really cared where we would go
Fast or slow to anywhere at all

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear you were the first star I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought...we Used to know
At least there's you and at least there's me
Can we get this back, can we get this back...
To how it used to be

I look around me and I want you to be there
Cause I miss the things that we shared
Look around you - it's empty and you're sad
Cause you miss the love that we had
You used to talk to me like I was the only one around...

We used to have this figured out
We used to breathe without a doubt
When nights were clear you were the first star I'd see
We used to have this under control
We never thought...we used to know
At least there's you and at least there's me
Can we get this back, can we get this back...
To how it used to be

Unbelievable but.. I like my A Math tuition.
Its the first day of MYE but it kind of feels like the last. Oh man.

Friday 20 April : Had our chinese oral, I have a feeling I completely flunked it lar can. Liu lao shi practically showed me th whole answer sheet after I spoke & told me what I was missing on, & yeah. Jasmine Teo, Cliffton, Nette & I went to Donna's hse after that. Attempted to study ( I did, but not that much) while Jasmine played soccer downstairs w/ Charles & Donna/Nette baked. Played mahjong after that, Amirul, Zhiyi, Nicholas, Kenneth & their sister came down frm their house & lol, quite funny lar, listening to Amirul crazily singing away w/ the guitar.

Saturday 21 April : My sister/brother's combined birthday party. Quite boring at the start, all the rooms were invaded so I was like floating from one room to another, not knowing where to go before settling at the dining table where it was quiet & all, until everyone came down to take their food & made a hell lot of noise. -.- Thank god for the invention of mp3s & ear pieces. Slacked around & didnt manage to sleep til about 1am? Ya, I was practically falling asleep at the sofa man.

Sunday 22 April : Woke up at 3pm (lol), & went to my cousin house to swim & was made to do sit ups in the pool, it's really really crazy lar. But yup, fun still. (: Stayed at home at night instead of going to my grandma's house ( which is the usual practice). TV all the way lar, haha.

Monday 23 April : Headed to Nette's house all the way at Loyang after Physics lecture. Fun & noisy ( w/ dogs & piano!),lol.

Tuesday 24 April (today) : Nothing after school today but still waited for 4E's Social Studies to be over to head to Long Johns w/ Selena, WF, Nick, & Chee Yang. & I hate Vectors, so damn confusing. -.-

I realise I get bruises for no reason whatsoever. How interesting.
Okay, I dont know what to say lar.

She can rob you blind with just one look from those eyes

Out of all the thieves that trained her, none of them can tame her

Tuition was a funny affair, as I predicted yesterday. Kept yawning towards the end though, haha.
E Maths lecture was quite.. normal? & I think telling us that we can go home is such motivation. The moment the teacher said that we could go home after showing him our finished last question, everyone practically scrambled to finish it, lol. It was very amusing.

KFC with Baoxian, Michelle, Selena, Bernard & Nicholas was ultra funny. Haha. I couldnt stop laughing, I swear. My ribs & cheekbones hurt a lot after that, but it was worth it! Lol.

The best damn thing.

Congratulations to Choir for their Gold w/ Honours! :D
Hope that it wld be good enough to warrant a day off, or at least half day ( which is not Friday!), lol.

I went to Donna's house yesterday! Sophia, Don & Cliffton wanted to study for their Pure Georg test today,lol. Studied for a little ( I learnt a teeny bit of Pure Georg frm them lol!), before playing the super addictive game - Mahjong. Lol! We kept going, one more game, one more game, & dragged on til about.. 10pm? Lol. Ya, rushed home in a cab & told my dad that the stupid cab driver was going in circles,lol. Oh well.
Super tired when I reached home cos I did my 5 items yesterday ( I cant believe I cld even run for Shuttle run!). Haha, fun though. Mahjong can never be boring, haha!

Today went to Grace's house instead. Lol! After Lit ( which is optional but I went, can you believe it! Ha. Had a sorta argument w/ th 'cher though. Small debate, haha!). I like Grace's house! Its cosy,lol. It was quite urm, productive? Lol. Nette left early for her tuition, which she was already late for but anyway she still went, so left Cliffton, Grace & I. Lol. Grace's mother didnt like me & Cliffton alone in Grace's room while she was downstairs eating dinner so we shifted to the playground,lol. Ate Ben & Jerrys, haha Nette. ^^ Finally decided on the design of the drama hoodie. Yup. Dad came & fetched me arnd 9 plus. Lol. Super fun. ((:

Tuition tmr! Lol, it's gonna be a noisy affair,haha!

I managed to pass my 2.4km regardless of th fact that I walked 3 rounds, had a bloody blister w/ a weak ankle, stopped to check if Michelle was alright ( she had asthma), & I still passed it, ha! Limped through the day & was super tired, despite the fact that we were supposed to be damn motivated & ready to listen & pay attention in class after Mr Tan's oh so motivating talk in the morning. Well, no, we were too tired. Too bad,lol. Just kidding.

Played netball w/ Nicole, Jasmine, Wanfong, Donna, Leon, Melson, & David after chemistry today! Lol. For once we were let off earlier than the ones in the auditorium, but anyway, yeah. Played w/ the cute Sec1s! HAHA. Ya, their damn cute, squeal-y, even, lol. God knows how I managed to play even w/ running th killer 2.4km in th morning,lol. But it was really really fun, haha.
We went to drink bubble tea after that & then headed home w/ Fong. I almost fell asleep on the bus, I was so tired.

5 items tmr, how to do, esp Shuttle run. Oh man.

I know that its the end of the story, but still, whats so bad about 4C. Gee.

Tuition this morning was a quiet affair, too quiet for Sele & my tastes even.

Anyway,
I know Drama SYF was over a couple of days ago, & I had blogged about it already, but it wouldn't hurt to talk more about it yeah? Afterall, how can one ever ever forget about it so easily?
The results would be out on Friday, & then we would know if we do get a Gold after all, or we're still at a Silver, high Silver at least.

I'm gonna miss the times we spent together. I think SYF and both 50th anniversary has bonded the drama people together, especially the sec 4s.
-Grace

rawrrrrrrrrr! it was like feeling a whole lot of different emotions all at once.
somehow, i didn't really feel nervous.
neither did syaza. haha. but anyway, crothers prayed with/for us and all of us huddled in a group praying.
set up was done in full view of the judges!
wow...and guess what :)
nothing screwed up! GO BERNARD! GO XX! GO SELE! GO PROPS PPL! :D
whooooooo. the play was over before we knew it.
walao, we all cannot stop crying during the play la!
LOL. then we were out of the door, rejoicing!
gosh, things happened so quickly :D
i will never forget a moment like this, ever.
-Michelle

It became a significant chapter in my life.
-Rina

See, SYF helps bond people together, despite the long hours we spend at school, moving props, tiring ourselves out, having no time to study for the many many tests we have, no time to go out to relax, enjoy yourselves, & spending all those time in the auditorium freezing our asses off (& the list goes on) just to do well for that 30 minutes of production. Its long, but its fun; missed even.
The video Mr Anwar filmed of us celebrating at ACS Barker after the play in the garden would be screened on the tv tmr. Along w/ the play itself ( god knows how he manage to sneak the camera into the theatre when he's not supposed to,lol!).
Friday, wld decide for us if all our work had paid off.

The SYF days are over ( no more skipping classes/tests!), & its back to reality (friday not counted lar,lol! Friday had the GamesCarnivlsorta-mood).
MYE's coming. The teachers would be out to kill us, making us panic & work harder for the major tests and all, Im sure.
2.4km tmr, possibly. I hate long distance. >.<

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

4C is damn good I swear.
{edited}Its still MY class afterall. Is it wrong to love one's class? I dont know, why dont you tell me.

Netball ( combined) - Gold.
Floorball - Gold.
Table Tennis - Gold.
Computer Quiz - Gold.
Badminton - Silver.

Whee. ^^ 4 out of 8 games (Netball, Floorball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Computer Quiz, Badminton, Soccer, Basketball.) Gold. Basketball & Relay on Monday though, cos it rained like shit today, Faizzah & I spent 1pm to 2 plus pm waiting for the rain to stop & doing really ridiculous things to make it stop,lol.
Floorball was by far the most stressing only. It was against 4J. They were leading by 4-1 in the first half, then in the second half, 4C caught up by 6 goals straight, & the final score was 7-4, 4C win. (: Gosh, we were shouting so much that we lost like, half of our voices after that,lol.

I shant talk now. Let the pictures do it for me. (:









I love the atmosphere, andrenaline were pumping high & we were all full of class spirit. Just lovely.

Seoul Garden w/ Pon, Ruiwen, Sihui, Jasmine, Vanhui, Terence Tay, Weirong, Zhiyi & Lenny after. It was mad, okay. Crazy food inventions yeah.





What can I say? (:

TK Drama was brilliant today. & brilliant, could possibly be the understatement of the century. ^^
I cant believe it, we managed to put the set together in less than like, 3 minutes? Its a record. Plus we got everything correct, the angle of the panels, the lights, whatever. :D
The actors gave 200% percent, & boy oh boy, did they wow the audience. The play moved TK's very own Principal and Vice Principal to tears, as did one of judge out of the few, & I heard quite a few of the parents in the audience shed tears. Wow. (:
It was darn good. & it feels good & bad at the same time to have SYF over. No more staying back and all yeah, no more stress,lol. But no more time to bond w/ the drama people, unless you count camp & all, yup. Oh well. But yeah, its.. over.
The drama room's really cosy btw. Must get a copy of the key so can ge in & out anytime we want, haha!

Nxt thing to look forward to: Games Carnival tmr! Yay. (: Go 4C. Hope we'll be able to smoothen out any troubles we had today like the Badminton finals & all, yup.

I swear, Marcus was positively hilarious & talkative during tuition today ( yes, we're back, Ms Choo!).
Ms Choo: 1 + 1 is..
Marcus: 8?
LOL. Hilarious, he was blur & sleepy. Ha.

So finally, SYF's tmr. Okay.. Good luck to us man. The angle better be right, the timing, the lights & most importantly, the energy on stage for the actors, yup. Crothers told us that if we did everything the way we did for the final run today, we could get a gold. 80 marks, no less. 5 marks more to Gold w/ Honours, lol. Aim high yeah, haha.

Esther Lai's introduction to Meridian JC today, take it w/ a pinch of salt I suppose. Tsk, propaganda. But the video's cool, Ruiwen & I were guessing what thing the teachers did by the pictures, haha.

Ack, I dont know what to say.

I saw my primary school friend on the bus.. & decided I hate being a Sec 4.
On one hand, I want time to quickly pass me by, so that I wldnt have the endure the boring lessons, so Veron can come back soon, and birthdays etc etc.
On another hand, I dont want time to pass. Exams, quizzes, tests. Too many. Plus the dreaded O levels. & cant time slow down for more time w/ my friends. Last year at TK yeah. Why cant we go back to Sec 3. So much more fun.
K la, whatever.

Skipped out on skating today, thus watched the dance people, & the fencing people. Lol. Real interesting yeah.
Georg test after school.. no supplementary lesson, yay! Headed to Pizza Hut ( again!) w/ Cheryl Tang, Heather & Selena. I swear, th nxt table was eavesdropping on us, lol!

[ '....' are parts of the conversation,lol]
Cheryl: .......
Selena: ...Rachel.
Other table: Rachel rachel! Hahahaha! .... ( they said something abt Rachel,lol. One of th girls at th table was called Rachel apparently.)
-
Heather: Okay, thou shall not laugh anymore.
Me: Okay!
Other table: HAHAHAHAHAHA! -they suddenly burst into laughter super loudly-
-
Me: Some people arh, dont have their own entertainment, have to look for entertainment at our table eh?
Other table: -some girls glanced over-

SEE! Eavesdropping, tsk. Lol.

2 more days to Drama SYF.
Band's SYF's tmr, good luck!

Do you dare defy the universe?

Keep moving forward. (:

Saturday
Went out w/ Kaylie & Michael.
Sorry to Soonhao!! I didnt know. >.<

Sunday
My mum brought me out to Queensway to get shoes. Lol. For school, no less. The Nike white Dunks are mens' sizes & therefore, no sizes for poor me! Ended up getting a pair of Adida sneakers, lol. Kid size, no less! HAHA.
There was A.I. at night on tv, so me & my cousin were glued th television, & ya, it wasn't that sad! Haha. Blue fairy. Though its interesting to see how th future might be,lol.

Monday; TODAY
Off to school to reach there at 7am to get ready for th perfomance to the Sec 3s for the first period of the day! Yup. The stupid bench chose to fall over now f all times, and one of the clamps for the panels fell out. -.- What th hell lar, so unlucky. The Sec 3s kept laughing, even though the play was supposed to be TOUCHING. Oh my. -.- Sheesh!
Lab lessons boring as usual! Got to give the Chemistry full paper today a miss due to Drama. Thank goodness. Selena & I tidied up the drama room today, as we had nothing much to do. Walked arnd & yeah, somehow, there was another watercooler 'fight' between Donna & yours truly, that resulted in both of us targetting Selena. Yes, again. LOL.


Took time off in the midst of things to eat at Video World. Lol.

Time to end off w/ the usual. Here , Ali. ^^

Its super difficult to get tickets for Mr Bean's holiday. To those who want to watch, BOOK.
Selena & I tried getting tickets for it frm 3 something show to 5.00 show but to no avail, goodness. We walked to & fro Plaza Singapura & The Cathay for arnd.. 3 times? Ya. Saw Paulina & gang and they got tickets for 5pm show Mr Bean. They bought the tickets at around 1pm & their seats are like, 4th row frm the front? YA, thats how popular th Mr Bean show is, yesterday.
So what to do, Selena & I ended up watching Meet The Robinsons. Surprisingly, it was quite touching & for Selena, motivating,lol. She felt motivated to study after watching it, haha. But yeah, it was a pretty good show. (: The theatre was nice when we walked in. It was th first time th two of us watched in Cinema 1, so yeah, it was big & golden & glam, haha.

Instead of the paw prints, you get gold swirly designs, lol. What difference.
Bus-ed to Joo Chiat for dinner w/ family. Dinner was nice, I guess, haha.

There's drama today at 2 til 5. Now's so early 10.41am. I was awake at 8am thanks to my brother who made a hell lot of noise when he left the house for Scouts. & I only managed to sleep at 2am cos I couldnt sleep & ended up reading Always & Forever by Lurlene McDaniel ( the book which made Selena cry!). Lol.
Lack of sleep man, but Im not sleepy now. Just exceptionally bored to death.


Lol, Ali, if you see this, you knw what to do! Hahahaha.

Lastly, Ping! :D Haha.


Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by,
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Finally, after waiting for so long, we got our class jersey!

At first sight though, it doesn't look that nice. However, after th whole class went ahead & put it on, even though we didn't have pe that day, it looks nice. (: Just disregard th round logo ( TanjongKatong) at th front, & you get a nice class jersey! :D We're 4Coreans, haha.

Drama yesterday was til 9pm at night, can you believe it. -.- Just imagine, I was doing practically nothing for the whole time, walking arnd school, sitting in the audi bored etc etc. But ya, 5 days more to SYF, must work on th striking in & out etc. Yup. Good luck to us, I guess.

Oh, have I mentioned that th bunny's in my house? Its called Ping btw. HAHA. Dont ask. ^^

I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in , closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart

Well I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces dont fit here anymore

You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin
Well I'll hide all the bruises; I'll hide all the damage that's done
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone

Hmmmm Why I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore

Hmmmm, Oh, don't misunderstand how I feel
Coz I've tried, yes I've tried
But Still I don't know why
No I don't know why

Why I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Just leave me now
It's the better thing to do

It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit here anymore

The pieces dont fit here anymore.

You know the theme for Phantom of the Opera? I've been humming it throughout E Maths, which got Ruiwen hooked onto it, & Sihui shaking her head in exasperation at our hummings. Lol! :D

Bunny's cute. (:

Friday

Anyway.

April Fools' ( belated) today was fun while it lasted. Managed to jaq a certain teacher. Lol. Though I heard Mrs Neo's expression was priceless! Haha. What fun. ^^

No PE today!
So see.

This happens. Haha.

& this is what I face in class every single day:

Lol, what fun? Ha.

Drama today quite funny, Crothers asking th cast to speak in mother tongue ( Chinese), & you know, AG5 people ( aherm Cliffton, Syaza, Nette, lol.), so it was sooo funny, lol. Added a new scene for th ending too.

In transit indeed, haha.

I cant believe I bought a rabbit today. Joined venture w/ Pon. Hah. Super cute & sweet kays that rabbit. Lol!

Social Studies' Sustainable Development tmr but Im not in th mood to memorise any of Singapore's stupid history. Gee.

Drama yesterday at th Barker campus was normal, though our moving in/striking of props was more efficient, lol. Props peoples' number/word games in th changing room ( guys' one, no less!) was funny. Haha. Bonding yeahs? Ha.
After that went to parkway for dinner w/ Cliffton, Bernard, Michelle, Lynette & Donna! We were super hungry I swear. We went to Swensons ( again!) after a long time of deciding. Amirul joined us later. Lol, it was super hilarious there.
All th way to Toa Payoh afterwards for dad's friend's house party. I swear, my brother was sooo bullying th little kids. But no fear! There were older poeple, like Darren, Gerard & I to protect them, mwahaha. Lol. They was playing monkey, ha. Heaps of fun! :D

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' btw. (:

Oh did you know, one ticket for the Phantom of the Opera costs $132.50? HAHA.
