Okay. I find this pretty lame. The title, I mean.
So let's see...yesterday's HCL was the best Chinese lesson I've ever had. Because Jiang Lao Shi explained everything in both Chinese AND English.
YAY!
I managed to get quite a number of questions correct.
History was totally DULL.
Don't wanna elaborate.
Today Art Club went to the Singapore History Museum to see some electric are exhibition. It was really cool. There was one exhibit where some sort of weird cap translates our brainwaves into white particles (dots, to be exact) on a screen.
Kimberley tried it and very amazing images came out. There were many types that I haven't seen before, and the person in charge said that it was the first time that that pattern occurred.
KAKUII!
So yeah. It was really fun. On the bus to the museum, one of the art teachers (forgot her name...) mentioned about the windmill competition. She said that sadly, 2 windmills that were submitted could not be accepted. Those that were accepted she returned the 'fee' of $2, those that weren't wasted $2.
I didn't pay for the windmill because at that time I didn't have exact change. So the teacher paid for me. I was so afraid that mine wouldn't be accepted (I'd lose face AND 2 bucks) but thankfully, it was, so I didn't have to give the teacher $2.
I think Grace's wasn't.
So this is my short summary of the past 2 days.
Thank you for reading this boring post.
I hope you have enjoyed it.
Thank you.

The Quiet Ones
*This post was supposed to be posted on the 26th of July, but I kinda forgot to press the 'publish post' button, but thankfully, they automatically saved it...*
I've been silent for a long time.
Keeping a low profile is my motto.
NOT!
I'll admit I was just too lazy to log in. Anyway. For the last 2 days I was so lucky. On Thursday, I stayed back for an hour. I was walking toward the gate near the Gym, then when I was about 50 meters away from the gate, 105 came, so I chiong. Because there was a lot of people, I got onto the bus just fine.
Just yesterday, I was about 30 meters away from gate when the bus came. The line was short so I had to rush like a madman. Even then, the door closed on me. Then it opened again. YAY!
Today is my brother's birthday. 2 days ago was my father's birthday. Today we went out to celebrate their birthdays. We originally intended to go to KFC for lunch, but my brother didn't want to, so we ended up negotiating in the car while in the middle of nowhere in a random carpark and congested the whole thing.
We decided to go to this restaurant called "Happy Joy Restaurant". The moment I saw its name, I was like, is this some lame restaurant? It's right in the middle of a HDB area.
The whole restaurant was deserted. We arrived at 14:20, and because of a wedding dinner that was going to be held later, the last order would have to be at 14:30. So we went to eat.
So cool, you know. We actually got to dine in a special room with only 4 or 5 tables.
We ordered so much my stomach was about to burst. It costed $70 plus...do you know how many meals I can eat at a hawker centre with that much money?!
So anyway, after that, we went to walk the Forest Trail, which ended at the Anderson Arch. Then we visited some weird flower thing. It was kinda cool, especially the play ground.
Oh. Did I just make you think that I thought flowers were cool? Oops. Sorry. I was talking about the displays.
After that we went home and had home made dinner consisting of pizza (fresh out of the freezer).

I CAN"T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO POST ON PI DAY!
I"M SO STUPID!!!
Anyway. Pi Day is 22nd July. The date would read 22/7, which, mathematically, would mean '3.14' rounded off to 2 decimal places.
=D
I went to the bookshop during lunch and there was only one Prince of Tennis 40 left...
Wow. They really ARE flying off the shelves. Originally there were about 5. I bought the first one. =D
I didn't know so many people (well, it's a lot compared to the figure I had in my head) in my school likes Prince of Tennis.
YAY!
But I'm still waiting for another tankouban to be released in my school bookshop...

BooK 41
YAYAYAYAYAY!
I NOW OWN BOOK 41 TOO!
Found it at the book shop during recess.
Today is RHD. Didn't know until yesterday...
-.-"
shippai...
Saa, anyway, RHD was kinda cool. Created 3 random people at the caligraphy section. =D
We were supposed to use the ink to write caligraphy, but i really couldn't, so I just started drawing. The first one was supposed to be a girl, but people comment that it looks like a guy...probably because of her bushy/thick eyebrow...
I wonder if Ash will look like that when she grows up...
So yea. RHD was kinda fun. No lesson. School ended at 11.30 (again, I didn't know this until yesterday). Bought book 41 from book shop during recess. All except 3 canteen stalls were closed when I came down for lunch. XP sucked. Ate only 2 slices of watermelons for lunch. Gave Han Jun some information for EL after school.
That's about it.
=D
My day in a nutshell.
Oh yeah. I saw a squirrel under the conjuncting roof joining H block and J block while taking the long detour to the gate outside the Gym cuz it was raining.
Thought it'd be kinda cool if I reported it here. =D

This is my lucky day! LUCKY!
KYAAAA!!!!
PRINCE OF TENNIS 10!!!
Today after church, my mother wanted to buy Maths and Science assessment books for my sister. So we went to a hawker center near AMK hub. There is a building beside the hawker center that has Popular on its second level.
I had chicken chop for lunch today. It is usually called 'Western Food', which is normally not what we eat often, so I haven't had it in about half a year already. My sister just at one about one two months ago... -.-"
So after the very nice lunch washed down with a can of Pokka Ice Green Tea and a little Coke flavoured slurpee from 7/11, we trooped down (well, literally it's up) to Popular to find some assessment books for my sister.
The first thing I did when I stepped into the treshhold was head to the comics section. Stupidly, I went to the English one even though I know my father would never allow me to buy a manga in English. So I just searched the whole shelf for any books that I know of and like, mainly 'Prince of Tennis', 'D.Gray-Man', 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn', and quite recently, 'Black Cat'.
The English comic section was seriously lacking in diversity. Well, to me that is, because I'm not interested in most of the comics there. So anyway, the only manga I recognized was 'Fruits Basket', and I'm apparently not buying that. One, cuz' it's in English. Two, cuz' it's kinda lovey dovey and the drawings are a little...not realistic?
So I went to search for the Chinese comic section. I was strolling down the rows of shelves and finally found it. I skimmed and scanned the whole two shelves. And I found 'Prince of Tennis 1' (about 5-7 copies...), 'Prince of Tennis 10' (about 2, one of which I bought), and 'Prince of Tennis 40' (about 2 or 3 copies too).
I didn't have book 10, so I picked it up! YAY! I FOUND A NEW BOOK!
I really shouldn't indulge myself in worldly treasures too much...
Then there are also 'D.Gray-Man' 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13. They were all in Chinese (well duh, cuz' it's the Chinese section). P.S. Komui doesn't look like Komui at all on the cover of book 7, he looks cooler on the cover than in the book... And I found books 16, 17, and 18 of 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn' as well. I love book 18 of the series. It has my fave chapters in it!
So yeah, I can't find 'Black Cat' at all.
My father sponsered the book. =D My brother bought two books. One of them is a novel about Halo, and the other is some 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. That diary one has lots of pictures in it and it looks like it's aimed at little kids... and mind you, my brother is already 15 AND from NUS High... I'm so embarrassed...
*crouches in a corner and attempts to cover face with curtain of hair*
But yeah, the book about the wimpy kid had really cool drawings (well, they weren't actually very professional, but the humor's what counts, right?).
Today during church, Brother Kafai (remember? BK?) preached to us about God's call. About God calling us to share the gospel.
I REALLY WANNA BRING ZANN TO CHURCH!!! I've never actually brought up the topic of coming to church to her, I just pestered her about being a Christian... I'm such a bad person...
*emos*
Oh yeah, before that, we were shown a short clip about 06.07.08., which is an even held last week at the Summit at Trinity@Payah Lebar. Originally, when Ignyte first started, there were only 350 youths attending. Then the following year in 2007, there were 555, then this year, the count rose up to 665 (or somewhere near).
Then during 06.07.08. last week, 724 people came!!! There were 76 FTVs (First Time Visitors) and 21 salvations. So cool right?
I'm just regretting not inviting Zann over...
*sobs*
Back to BK's speech about preaching the gospel. When BK was 15, he received salvation. But before that, he was kind of a gangster. His friends tried to get him to know Jesus. Everytime someone comes to the door of his friends' house to preach about Jesus(BK goes to his friend's house a lot), his friend would drag him to the door.
Back then, BK really didn't want to listen and be a Christian at all. He said, "You want to preach about Jesus right?"
Then the person would reply, "Yes."
Then BK would let him preach. When the person was getting into the heart of the matter, when you could feel that depth of what he was preaching, BK would take small steps backwards, and SLAM the door into the person's face.
So evil right?
Everyone say it with me.
So evil.
So yeah. Last time, BK and his friends would go to some place and hang out. Then they would go up to just any random person and say, "I don't like your face. Your face not nice." and then slap them.
*shudder*
I wonder what kind of friends they were. Wanting BK to know God and at the same time slapping some random person's face on the streets. Maybe they were a different group, or they had a serious personality crisis.
Yeah, but someone persisted (I never knew who. BK never mentioned who at all) and he finally came to know Christ and became the person he is today.
And today was Brother Titus' birthday.
Brother Titus is in charge of worship and the...uh...what do you call the lighting, sound, video, blah blah blah crew? I doubt it's AVPA....
Pastor Derrick (I honestly don't know how to spell his name. All I know is that it is spelt very differently from what I've typed but sounds the same) purposely made a black-out and asked Brother Titus to go to the back and check what went wrong.
When Brother Titus went up, he was greeted with a cake and the lights came on. I, who had no clue what happend until pastor Derrick explained at the end, was, like, the black out was so fake. The projector was on...
Anyway, we sang happy birthday to him and then we were dismissed.
YAY! This was my day.
And did you realize that today is the 13th? My lucky number? And I found book 10 on this day?

Prince of Tennis 40...
I GOT PRINCE OF TENNIS 40!!!
I bought it from the school bookshop yesterday. I just walked in, not expecting much (since all the previous time I walked in after buying book 37 last week, there were no new books), but then I saw some blue spines sitting on the shelf with their cover facing up. So I just walked towards it, seeing some ray of hope but suppressing it in case I get disappointed.
When I saw the books' cover (all of them were book 40), I was...filled with ecstacy?
I grabbed the book off the shelf, inspected it, looked up and down the shelf to see if there were more (there were no more other than books 40, 38 and 37, which I all already have), and proceeded to the counter to pay up.
HAPPY HAPPY DAY!

Three days' update
Weird. After Ignyte service, some guy sitting two seats from me (the seat between us was empty) passed me a slip of folded up paper and told me something. I couldn't catch what he said, and asked, "What?" but he didn't hear me. He most probably told me to pass it to someone...
What was written inside was the verses in 'Psalms 100: 1-5'. I think it's notes taken from a sermon.
Anyway, today's Ignyte service was called '06.07.08', which is the date today. Ignyte Trinity @ Adam and @ Payar Lebar combined and had a service together at the Summit (L4) of Trinity @ Payar Lebar.
...And Darren was doing some weird narration thing on stage...he looked so weird in a suit and a tie...I think the tie was purple...
Then there was this person, who narrated too, who was singing about being in the army, the (some tank or something called 'something 45') very fine, when you chuck the key and ignite the engine, you have to push from behind.
Then there's another one about the food very fine, when you drop the chicken wing, your leg will break. (Because the chicken very hard...)
Anyway. There was this video comepetition. Go to 'http://www.trinity.net/IGNYTE/combined/060708/vidcomp.html' Check out V6 [Daniel Ho- PL]. Or you can just click on the links I created. It is SO hilarious.
The competition is one where Ignyters (youths who go to Ignyte service) can participate in, and their videos submitted must have the theme 'His Purpose. My Generation.' in it. That is this year's theme.
And so the V6 [Daniel Ho- PL] one won.
IT.
WAS.
SO.
FREAKING.
HILARIOUS.
XD
YAY!
Today I had lots of fun at church.
You know what? I just realized I am able to speak 5 languages!
Well, only a little of 3 of them, but in all, still 5.
English, Chinese, Japanese, Malay, French.
I'm so weird.
Anyway, on Friday, my Gym team came over to my house with me after school to work on our Gym sequence cuz' we barely got anything at all.
So we created some weird steps that were super gross (in the sick way) to us. Like dragging our hands slowly up our legs and thighs...
Ewww.....
Sad to say I created them.....
Ah well. Who cares. We finally got the sequence down!!!
Rachel, Gloria, Moira and I made a generalization:
In primary school, people like to act 'cool'. In secondary school, people like to act 'sexy'.
I think this is true. Considering what hip-hop looks like now in secondary school and what dances looked like last time in primary school.
Secondary school: Lots of hip movement, body waving, and so on.
Primary school: Wears sunglasses, copies Matrix..., do the weird Elvis Presley pointing finger thing.
Gekki dasa.
On Saturday, it was the norm. Ballet class, eat dinner. But there was one extra. I went to watch TV! It's been a long time since I watched TV after 20:30. I usually spend my time upstairs with my computer.
What was written inside was the verses in 'Psalms 100: 1-5'. I think it's notes taken from a sermon.

YAY! D&T RAWKS!
Randomness again.
But you know, D&T really was fun.
Just last week, my 'toy' looked very plain. All I did was poke two holes in a metal tube which I later painted brown, cut a gap for the switch and shape the acrylic for the cover (which had a hole in it for the melody changer. That was pretty much all I did.
So little right?
Then today, I finished painting the metal tube and even sprayed clear spray paint on it to make it shine like the morning sun pushing its way through a crack in the roof of a cave! Then I cut it to size cuz' I didn't need that big a piece of tube.
Right. You must be wondering what kind of toy I'm making.
I'm making this 'Garden Gramaphone'. The 'gramaphone' will be a flower with yellow petals. The tube was its stalk. I took my 'disk' from a disket. Well, more like my father ripped it out from the disket. Either way works.
I didn't need to make anything that spins except stick that 'disk' onto the rotating thing.
Today I added colour to my toy. Earlier, Moi Moi had asked me to severe a part of an egg shaped styrofoam from the thing itself. Since last week, I had a phobia of penknives, but I, being the kind person I am, agreed to help. (I still had the scar from the penknife incision on my left middle finger...)
After I chopped off the part (more like sawed off), I threw the unwanted piece into the bin beside the table. I was just sitting around and fooling, singing random christian songs and trying to get Zann to convert along with Rachel and Anabelle. Well, it didn't work. But it was only 2 hours or less! We couldn't do anything. Zann stood up for her own believes and didn't budge.
Oh yea, and Rachel had asked me to draw a paper boat and lily pad for her toy. I do so believe that I have never drawn either of them before, so my drawings probably looked a bit weird. The lily pad looked really, really, stupid because it was so empty thus I drew a water lily, but frankly, it was my first time drawing a water lily too... but Rachel still used them anyway. *Shrugs*
I decided to paint the stupid box of mine cuz' it looked so neglected and plain.
So I painted the whole thing brown (same brown as the tube). The wood looked really like a tree bark, or so that's what Rachel (1) said. I had already decided before that I'd paint some grass on, and Rachel had so happened to have used green paint before (to paint the lily pad), so I used that.
I didn't dilute the paint or anything, and so I drew/painted the grass at the bottom. The tips of the grass had a serious paint shortage and they looked fuzzy. But I don't care. Rachel (1) voiced her opinion: It looked like the foot of a tree.
So anyway, I decided to make a little lady bug to be my melody changer's disguise. I remembered the piece of styrofoam I threw away and dug it up from the bin. I can almost hear you say 'eww'.
Anyway, I hacked off some parts here and there and finally got a small shape (that looked nothing like a lady bug, even though I didn't take into consideration the fact that it was white). I painted it with some red paint that Anabelle had left in Rachel's (1) palette.
I decided to leave it on the piece of styrofoam I cut it out from which was originally part of Moira's certain part of her toy to dry (run on...). Then I got impatient and decided 'to the heck with all the wet paint' and picked up the paint brush and painted the black (the spots and the head).
And I left it there until the next time I picked it up.
So in the mean time, I decided to cut out petals for the flower and paint the styrofoam I used as the thing to stick all the petals on and chuck the speaker in. So I dumped my paintbrush (well, technically, it's Rachel's (1). If you ask to borrow anything from her, she'll consent...) in the brown paint I had used earlier and slathered a generous amount on the styrofoam.
As I left it to dry, I got some yellow felt from one of the teachers (the taller lady whom we consult for art stuff) and started cutting out the petals. Because super glue melts styrofoam, the teacher (same as just now) suggested using the hot glue gun.
I used them before in Art Club last Tuesday and this Tuesday, so I was pretty familiar with them, and also the pain that comes with dripping hot melted plastic on my fingers. One on the left middle finger (why is that finger always the victim?!) and my left thumb. Man. My left had is so unlucky.
So I stuck them all on the brown styrofoam thingy. It finally looked like a flower! REJOICE!
Oh yeah. And in the middle of nowhere, the teacher who we were to consult on technical stuff repremanded us for being too slack. Before that, she had come to my table and told me that I had the potential (every teacher tells me that. All kinds of them, English, Chinese, Art...blah blah blah. I think they're seriously lying) but I must unlock it.
I think she saw my terrible 1 minute drawing on a piece of paper I did with a paintbrush dripping with brown paint and was drawn towards killing me for slacking in class but resisted the urge. *;D
Oh, the picture was a guy. I painted his hair yellow...
But don't worry! The whole picture didn't waste any more than 1 1/2 minute of my time~!
And that teacher came over to my table (she was just skimming through the tables) and said that the lady bug was kinda cool, so she said that I should add two feelers (stable bullets) to it. So I did. But before that, I had to repaint the red part cuz' my hand accidentally pressed onto it and smudged the black dots.
So after I did that, I asked Moi Moi for staple bullets. Rachel (1) had but they were purple... (HAH! PURPLE!). I pressed them in and tadaa! Done. But I had to wait for it to dry.
After it dried, I spray painted it clear and shiny, then hot glue gunned it to the melody changer cuz', as I mentioned before, apparently, glue melts styrofoam.
Yeah. So basically this is my progress throughout today.
Next week I suppose I'll have an easy time...
And Rachel (1) mentioned I'm straying from the 'emo' path...that I'm less emo than I was last year...hmm...I wonder why...
Nevermind! See ya~!
But you know, D&T really was fun.
Just last week, my 'toy' looked very plain. All I did was poke two holes in a metal tube which I later painted brown, cut a gap for the switch and shape the acrylic for the cover (which had a hole in it for the melody changer. That was pretty much all I did.
So little right?
Then today, I finished painting the metal tube and even sprayed clear spray paint on it to make it shine like the morning sun pushing its way through a crack in the roof of a cave! Then I cut it to size cuz' I didn't need that big a piece of tube.
Right. You must be wondering what kind of toy I'm making.
I'm making this 'Garden Gramaphone'. The 'gramaphone' will be a flower with yellow petals. The tube was its stalk. I took my 'disk' from a disket. Well, more like my father ripped it out from the disket. Either way works.
I didn't need to make anything that spins except stick that 'disk' onto the rotating thing.
Today I added colour to my toy. Earlier, Moi Moi had asked me to severe a part of an egg shaped styrofoam from the thing itself. Since last week, I had a phobia of penknives, but I, being the kind person I am, agreed to help. (I still had the scar from the penknife incision on my left middle finger...)
After I chopped off the part (more like sawed off), I threw the unwanted piece into the bin beside the table. I was just sitting around and fooling, singing random christian songs and trying to get Zann to convert along with Rachel and Anabelle. Well, it didn't work. But it was only 2 hours or less! We couldn't do anything. Zann stood up for her own believes and didn't budge.
Oh yea, and Rachel had asked me to draw a paper boat and lily pad for her toy. I do so believe that I have never drawn either of them before, so my drawings probably looked a bit weird. The lily pad looked really, really, stupid because it was so empty thus I drew a water lily, but frankly, it was my first time drawing a water lily too... but Rachel still used them anyway. *Shrugs*
I decided to paint the stupid box of mine cuz' it looked so neglected and plain.

ART CLUB RAWKS!
Today in Art Club, we had to paper mache our 'newspaper skeleton', which were supposed to be bloated up animals (but I did a guy and someone had planned to do a snowman...).
Kimberley and I sat next to each other. Well, more like at two sides of the table which are connected at a side (does this sound weird?).
Grace sat at opposite me at a table to my right. She was singing, "I am cow, hear me moo, I weigh twice as much as you etc."
So Kimberley and I were editting them (the song Grace sang) and creating weird stuff lah. We experimented singing with high voices and low voices.
Kimberley can go amazingly low...and I was like, wow.
Then we tried replacing the word 'cow' with another animal. There was the 'bear' version. (Kimberley made a bear, purple one, nontheless) It went:
"I am bear, hear me roar, I am lying on the floor, and lying there makes my stomach sore..."
Then I started singing 'Rudolph the Red Nose Raindeer' (don't ask why).
Kimberley decided to tweak the lyrics a little:
"Rudolph the red crust muffin
Had a very reddish crust
If you saw it with/on metal
You would even think it's rust
All of the other muffins
Used to like to call him names
Rudolph the red crust muffin
Pushed them into the flames"
So yeah, it was kinda fun lah. We kept singing and in the middle of nowhere started speaking in accents. Kimberley in some westernish cowboy voice and I did a British (or was it American) accent.
We were having a lot of fun. Then out of nowhere, I asked Kimberley if I could call her Kimberley-chan. (I was very bored...) Before that, we were randomly saying some Jap. words lah. Kimberley went, "Watashi wa Kimberley desu." (I am Kimberley)
Then we had, "Watashi wa cow desu" (I am cow) but we dunno how to say 'hear' in Jap. so we left it hanging there (hell, we didn't even know how to say 'cow'...)
Then we started calling my bag 'bag-sama', which carries the meaning of 'bag the great' or something like that. Kimberley kept calling it that and then she called me some weird thing that I couldn't help laughing like crap.
Now that I think back about it, it isn't so funny...
Anyway, Tessa Low (Mua ha's older sister by one year) was sitting 2 tables behind us and she said that she dunno why but when she see us laugh she also feel like laughing and then she laugh lor.
Then we kept up with that 'sama' and all and we called everything 'sama'. =D Technically it's an honorific so it's supposed to be used behind a noun (preferably a proper noun). Eg. Bag-sama (that refers to my bag).
Anyway, Kimberley dubbed me 'Rachelle-san-chan-kun-sensei-senpai-sama' or something like that. She name almost all the honorifics. The sequence of which I stated them is obviously wrong cuz' my memory is crap.
It goes like 'Rachelle-Miss-(something you call people close to or younger than you)-(something you call children, more commonly, boys)-teacher-senior-the great'. =D
The left out 'dono' because it meant 'lord'...and yet she called me 'sensei' and 'senpai' and 'sama'... well, I AM exactly 2 months her senior...
Kimberley and I sat next to each other. Well, more like at two sides of the table which are connected at a side (does this sound weird?).
Grace sat at opposite me at a table to my right. She was singing, "I am cow, hear me moo, I weigh twice as much as you etc."

Fan Girl Mode: KYAAA!!!! PRINCE OF TENNIS!!!!
ALYSSA YOU DEVIL!!!
There was Prince of Tennis tankouban at the 'chuangyi' booth! And it's in Chinese too! LIAR!
Let me start from the beginning of this story.
Yesterday, there was this supports school activity called "Toy Competition Prize Presentation '08" organized by the Singapore Polytechnic. It so happened that the prize presentation was held at the "Singapore Toy and Comic Convention" which is held in Suntec Hall 603.
I think today is the last day of the convention.
Anyway, I went for the support school activity to finally get my 3rd and final signature, a key to getting promoted (that is if I pass my exams...). I didn't actually know they sold comics over there until I walked past 'chuangyi' 's booth with Vivian and Fish (was Gloria and MinChih walking with us?).
'Chuang Yi' is this publishing company that publishes comics (mostly Manga). I recognize it as the publisher of Prince of Tennis (my all time favourite Manga) and went to check out the booth. There were 4 sides to the booth (actually, it's more like the pillar in the middle of the booth had four sides which were actually shelves).
The corners of the booths were connected with some weird quadrant which had pictures of characters from Mangas published by them on it. I SPOTTED PRINCE OF TENNIS' TEZUKA AND INUI!!!
I dunno what happened to me. I rushed to search for the Prince of Tennis (probably motivated by that little pic somewhere at the bottom right of one of the quadrants...) I was searching through one of the shelves, when I was informed that we would be late if we didn't move our butts. So I reluctantly went, not having caught a glimpse of a Prince of Tennis tankouban yet.
During the prinze presentation, Alyssa came up to me and asked if I recognize her. She was wearing those traditional Malay outfits for ladies (dunno what that's called). I said I did. I asked her if she had seen the 'chuangyi' booth, she said she had, and even bought some Mangas. She showed them to me, but the titles didn't really register in my head...
I asked her to help me check if there's any Prince of Tennis tankoubans in Chinese there. She said she would (I had to confirm she knew how Prince of Tennis' characters looked like first cuz she probably doesn't understand Chinese). So after a while, cheering and clapping for our school when we won a few prizes, she came back and told me there were none.
I was like so disheartened, thinking in my heart that the stupid picture on the quadrant gave me false hopes. I thanked her for her efforts anyway.
After the whole prize presentation ceremony was over (it ended about 25 minutes earlier than expected, and RGS won 3 consolation prizes and 1 top prize, gaining the title of 'the school with most achievements' or something), I left the rest and went over the the 'chuangyi' booth by myself. Don't ask me why. I just went. Call it intuition.
So when I went, I turned the whole booth topsy turvy in search of Prince of Tennis tankoubans. It wasn't until the last shelf I searched (I skipped one of the shelves, all it ever held was Pokemon and I'm not interested...) that I spotted something...
The fateful books with blue spines staring right back at me, almost yelling at me to pick them out of the rest of the tankoubans...
Fan Girl Mode: KYAAA!!!! PRINCE OF TENNIS!!!!
Normal Mode
I was like, OH MY GOSH, Prince of Tennis... and ...ALYSSA YOU LIAR!!!
I immediately sprinted over to it and ran my fingers down the blue spines, staring in disbelief at my luck. (This happened the previous day when I walked into the school bookshop and saw 'Prince of Tennis' books 37 and 38 [printed in Chinese], but just add in a few hysteric bounces, screams, and jumps while clutching the poor books to death) I was so mesmerized by them that I just stared at them for seconds.
Then I slowly picked the books up. There were books 1, 2, 3, 38 and 39. I'd have to go the the school book shop to pick up book 37, I noted. On Friday, I SMSed my father to ask if I could buy the tankoubans which are in Chinese from the bookshop, he replied 'yes', but when I asked if I'd have to pay with my pocket money, he didn't confirm it so I didn't buy them.
When I went home and asked him, he said he'd pay half if it's in Chinese. I was, like, over the moon. So when I saw the Prince of Tennis tankoubans, I was in heaven cuz the amount I have to pay is halved and that there were FIVE of the tankoubans here. Well, 5 isn't a lot out of 42 though...
So I dug them from where they were unjustly hidden and purchased them at 10% discount because there was a 10% discout booth wide. There were two of each tankouban at the booth.
After I purchased them, I couldn't believe my luck. All I could do was thank my D&T teacher for introducing this support school activity to me, because, if not, I wouldn't know there was this convention, and would not have been able to buy the books. And all this is because GOD arranged it. THANK YOU GOD!!!
As I was in line waiting to buy the book, two men walked past me, one of them said, "Sugoi su ne." and I was like, "Yes, it's so amazing," in my mind. Oh. 'sugoi su ne' is Japanese for 'it's amazing'. I really couldn't believe I could get my hands on these books! It was only recently that I started this mission to get the tankoubans after I saw a picture of one of the Prince of Tennis tankouban on the net.
I thought, "I must be so lucky to even get to see one first hand."
There was D.Gray-Man manga in Chinese too, from book 1-13 and Death Note 1-12 and its How to Read. But they were in Chinese too.
Hey, who said D&T sucked? It has its quirks too!
Oh yeah, that day was my youngest paternal aunt's wedding, and I missed their Church Wedding...so sad...
But then I attended her wedding dinner after rushing home to bathe and change after ballet. The dinner was scrumptious! Since my fater was 2nd son, my family go to sit at the VIP table with my grandparents and eldest uncle and his 19 year old daughter and third eldest uncle. They served us the food on idividual plates instead of one whole dish chucked in the middle of the spinning thing because we're at the VIP table. =D
Anyway, the spinning thing held a candel stick with quite a cool design and multiple candles placed in glass cones fill with some liquid (of course, the candle sat on the liquid). The dinner was held at the Holiday Inn's Crystal Ballroom. I think.
There was a special performance my my aunt's and uncle's friends (who were married). The lady sang some solo about love (I think it's 'Your Love' or something), and then the man joined her for a duet about love too. This would probably be the last wedding I'm going to attend for a long time.
Oh, just something, a flower bent too low and burnt up.

105 Rendevous (I think this is French)
CREEPY GUY IN RED SHIRT ON BUS 105: MY HORROR STORY
Today was the usual day, blah blah blah, school, blah blah blah, go wait for hours for the bus.
Vivian, Fish and I take the same bus, 105, so we got onto the bus together. It was that new prototype with LED boards.
So anyway, we began chatting about anything under the sun, then Vivian got off a few stops later. Then Fish and I began chatting again.
After a while, at the stop where an MRT station was, I noticed that there was a man wearing a red shirt staring pervertedly at us.
We were standing near the back of the bus. The man sat at the 2nd last 2 seater seat. He was very chubby (I would use flabby), and his eye were like...horizontal slits.
His pupils were locked on us. He looked away for a moment, then continued staring at us.
The bus started to empty very quickly as many people got off at that stop. So the last 2 seater seat (it was right behind the creepy guy) was empty. We decided to take a seat.
[Irrelevant text]
On our way to the seat (which was, like, one or two steps away), Fish found one of our senior's name tags. It was black, so we assumed that the senior (Chen Yuqing) was in Sec 2).

As we sat, the guy turned to face the front. Then we began chatting again. The guy turned his head and took a (shy?) peek at us. That was enough to freak me out.
After a few more brief glances, I couldn't stand it anymore and whispered to Fish about that pervy guy. It turned out she noticed too.
A few more looks in our direction and Fish got off the bus. Some guy wearing sunglasses and a white long sleeved shirt whit blue checker patterns and long black pants (probably some businessman) sat beside me.
The freaky guy didn't stare at me for a while.
I was so relieved. But just 3 stops away from the stop that I'll be alighting at, he took a backward glance.
I was almost shocked out of my skin. At first I thought it was all coincidental, but then he peeked again, and again, and again.
I had always thought he was staring at Fish...she IS after all, more attractive than me by a million folds and the staring kinda stopped when she left, then when he started looking again, I was like, screaming, 'PERVERT!' and 'OH MY GOSH!' in my head.
It appears that the man sitting beside me was getting off at the same stop at me, so he pressed the bell. I think he works at New Tech Park (the building where the bus stop was located outside).
Anyway. When I got off and no one followed me, I was so relieved.
Then I walked on my way back home. 105 was going in the same direction as me, but would take a turn after about 30-40 meters, so I just looked at the bus pass by.
Then I saw that creepy guy staring at me and giving me that creepy trademark smile of his...
You could say a shiver ran down my spine. Now I knew what it was like to have a creepy stalker stalking you, or a creepy admirer, for short.
Could this guy be the creepy perv Jovyn???
I was flattered by the attention I was receiving due to the fact that my charm had attracted him (Ferrero says flatly: sense the sarcasm, the fact that this sentence states that I have a charm means it is ENTIRELY FALSE), but that was WAY too creepy for comfort.
Hell, it didn't make it better that the guy was, like, in his late thirties or early forties.
And the fact that no one, I repeat NO ONE, has ever stared at me like that before isn't helping either. I don't even think I've been liked by a boy, what with all the weirdness and ugliness in me...
*Shruggs shoulder* But I don't really care.
If he was intellectually disabled, I'll overlook the whole incident, but if he wasn't...GO DIE!
Today was the usual day, blah blah blah, school, blah blah blah, go wait for hours for the bus.
Vivian, Fish and I take the same bus, 105, so we got onto the bus together. It was that new prototype with LED boards.
So anyway, we began chatting about anything under the sun, then Vivian got off a few stops later. Then Fish and I began chatting again.
After a while, at the stop where an MRT station was, I noticed that there was a man wearing a red shirt staring pervertedly at us.
We were standing near the back of the bus. The man sat at the 2nd last 2 seater seat. He was very chubby (I would use flabby), and his eye were like...horizontal slits.
His pupils were locked on us. He looked away for a moment, then continued staring at us.
The bus started to empty very quickly as many people got off at that stop. So the last 2 seater seat (it was right behind the creepy guy) was empty. We decided to take a seat.
[Irrelevant text]
On our way to the seat (which was, like, one or two steps away), Fish found one of our senior's name tags. It was black, so we assumed that the senior (Chen Yuqing) was in Sec 2).

STRIKE BACK!
Today I got to witness a strike back!
I mean witness as in EYE-witness.
Well, not really. I couldn't see the flame at all.
Min Chih was working with someone else (sorry, I forgot who) with the bunsen burner during Chem. lesson. I think she opened the air hole completely.
I was facing my own desk, which is directly in front of Min Chih's. Then suddenly I heard this 'boom' from behind and I heard someone (probably Min Chih) shout/scream (I can't find the right word...shout is too masculine and scream is too feminine...), "Strike back!" (or something like that)
Then so I whipped around to try to see it. I did see it. Well, that is if it were visible in the first place. So far, what my brain registered was a bunsen burner with no flame.
Then someone (I think it's Min Chih's partner) quickly turned off the gas just as a small crowd begin to gather. The flame disappeared (not like it ever 'appeared', that is) with some kind of a sizzling sound.
That's all.
Wow. I just realized my narration of it was quite long with reference to my recent posts.

kek saya berwarna coklat!
I think it says 'My cake is brown', or at least, that's what I meant. My Malay grammar is very suckish.
Anyway.
Zann gave me this cake made of felt today.
Everytime I stare at it, I start to get hungry.
And everytime I start to analyze why it looks so tempting.
Reason 1: It's a cake.
Reason 2: The colour combination is perfect.
Reason 3: The cake has cream.
These are the main reasons.
I SO LOVE THAT CAKE!!!!!
THANK YOU, ZANN!!!!!
It's a chocolate cake with vanilla cream filling, and a cherry with two green leaves sitting under it on a tuft of fluffy white cream!
YUM!
The cream filling had this red pattern on it, and it looks so cool!!!!
CAKE!

100th POST!
Today I went to Mount Faber.
I walked the Henderson Wave, the Forest Walk, and saw the Alexandra Arch up close!!!
The Henderson Wave was kinda cool. It went up to 77.something meters above sea-level and the floor that you walk on was made of wood panels (although I do believe there is some metal foundation or skeleton there).
Actually, I think the Forest Walk was to let us enjoy the view of the secondary forest, but the architecture of the metal bridge-like walkway was so much more fascinating I decided to focus on it instead. =P
Ah, the Alexandra Arch! It wasn't much fun, but we took pictures of us (my father, my brother, my sister, and me) pushing or pulling a tree when actually we were standing a meter or so behind it! Well, we shifted the camera to make it LOOK like we were doing that.
We walked for 3 hours, but had short (or not so short) breaks in between. Wow, it was the most I had exercised for...half a year, I think, and I had been away from the computer a very long time but thankfully did not show any withdrawal symptoms like Ryuuk did when Raito refused to give him his apples. =D

LAST 2 DIGIT NUMBER POST!!! TODAY IS FRIDAY THE 13th!!!
This is currently post 99 of my blog.
And today is Friday the 13th, my lucky day! <3
Today I shall be reporting on my trip to the Singapore Eye Centre yesterday.
It has been 7 months since I last went to the Eye Centre for check-up. So yesterday, I left the house at 0830 to go the the Eye Centre.
My number was 1281...if I didn't remember wrongly.
So then, I waited for more than half an hour (which seemed like years to me). Last year when I went for check-up, my degrees increased by about 50 for my right eye and 75 for my left, so I was seriously dreading this check-up.
There was only one thought running laps in my mind: Dang, my degrees must have shot up the ladder (or something), and my parents will kill me and ban me from using the computer for it.
So I was really dreading it, like it was my doom or something. I probably dreaded it as much as Allen (D.Gray-Man) dreads having his Anti-Akuma weapon repaired by Komui (that maniac who keeps inventing machines called 'Komurin')...
So yeah, after waiting for very long, my name was called and I trudged into room 31 to have my degrees checked. I sat in front of that weird machine (which smelt heavily of antiseptic) and rested my chin on that ominous looking surface. Then I saw a house in the middle of a field which had a red roof (that was when the lady checked my eyesight, for those who have NEVER done these kind of check-ups before [screams: LUCKY YOU!]).
When I was done seeing that house, the lady asked me for my spectacles to check the degrees of it. Then she ushered me into room 19 opposite room 31.
Then I wore my glasses and the lady passed me those weird black mask-like stuff and asked me to put it over my glasses. The mask-like thing only had one hole so only one eye could be tested at a time.
So she tested my eyes. Dread and doom fell over me as I strained my eyes to read what was projected onto the screen (well, I do know for one that they were either numbers or alphabets). I hated this test the most.
Then the torture ended. The lady announced her verdict.
Reality sunk in...
ONLY MY LEFT EYE HAS INCREASED IN DEGREE!!!!! YESS!!!!! Well, it increased by about 25 degrees, which is not much. I was so freaking happy I had to smile. Scratch that. Grin is the right word for this.
But I still had to put eye drops to dilate my pupils so that another doctor could see what was going inside my eye with these bright lights and lenses that further intensity the light and makes the light sorta larger.
The whole consultation costs about $38, and my eyes hurt for millenniums after that.

Pointe Shoes
POINTE is the French word for 'point'.
I think.
But anyway. I just got my pointe shoes for my new ballet grade that I started in March...or was it April?
Saa, who cares. I'm starting Intermediate Foundation and the exam requires pointe shoes. The pointe shoes are weird.
I went with my other ballet classmates (about 4 of them [including me]) and my ballet teacher. She helped us check if the shoes fit or not.
The shoes had flat toes. My father actually thought pointe shoes had pointed toes! [chuckles]
It looked hard to go on points in that shoe, but when I actually tried (just to see if they fit) it was relatively easy (but of course, I had my teacher as support. You can't expect me to go on points for the first time without a support).
The problem was that my feet are...weird. When I point my foot normally for...say...5 seconds, my foot will get...stuck in that position. It's like you want to get out of it, but you can't. It felt like if I moved my foot from my position, the bones will break.
But of course they didn't. I'd shudder to think what'd happen if it actually did. Anyway. Going on points require extreme pointing of my foot, and I found it quite hard to release my foot from that pointed position when I got down from the points.
Okay. This must sound really weird. All the 'point' and 'points' and 'pointe' everywhere. What's more, it's coming from me, Ferrero, the great tomboy of the century (and perhaps millennium or time...). I understand how you feel.
I think.
When I walked back from the shop with my fellow ballet classmate, Louise, she commented that if she didn't know me at all and didn't actually see me dance, she would never in hell believe that I danced ballet...and let alone passed grade 5 with dinstinction. =D
My reputation is good...I like the tomboy reputation!
*Wide grin*
And I didn't manage to get lost on my way from Orchard MRT Station to Tangling Shopping Center! (or was it Centre?)
The inside of the shopping centre was so cool! Like some posh hotel or something, if only it weren't so creepy.
Reasons for creepiness:
#1: Lack of people.
#2: Many shops selling those Buddha related statues which really freak me out. There's at least two on each floor, and every corner I turn, I see at least one such shop...
#3: THE FREAKING SHOP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT THE POINTE SHOES FROM (O.K.H. Ballet Centre) WAS COMPLETELY...ARGH! I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE IT! (A.K.A. It was all pink and girly...and it made me nauseated.)
I DON"T KNOW WHY I EVEN TOOK UP BALLET 7 YEARS AGO!
This is my 8th year doing ballet...and somehow, I don't feel like quitting...I wonder why...

True Christian Stories
I went to Jurong Central Library today.
It was kinda cool. 5 floors in total including the basement.
I finally found a book (or three, so to speak) that I could use for the Lit. project or whatever.
My mother made me borrow two Chinese books. One of them was Furuba (Fruits Basket) which had been translated into Chinese, and the other was this comic called 梦里人 which I have no idea what it's about nor do I have any intention of reading it, but if my mother says I have to read it, I suppose I should.
Today in church, Brother Kafai (I'm not exactly sure how his name is spelt) shared with us a few true stories.
#1: Brother Kafai (let's just call him BK for the time being) had this female friend whose best friend was the Holy Spirit. She was about 16 in the story he told us, and she was checking out guys. BK said it was okay to look at them but not lust. But anyway, back to the story. She was checking out this guy who went to the gym often. Then she told the Holy Spirit, "Holy Spirit, check out that hot guy."
The Holy Spirit replied, "You think that's hot? Remember Jesus' occupation." Jesus was a carpentar, and carpenters then didn't have refined tools. To get wood, they had to chop it themselves from trees, and there were no propper hammars. I'd imagin Jesus was really muscular... COOL! I've got a macho God!
BK told us that that girl even dated the God. On Valentine's Day, she would pack a picnic basket and bring it to the Botanical Gardens, spread the sheets and food out, and talk to God, literally. So cool!!!
#2: Somewhere in America, there was some kind of a concert (I think). It was held inside a stadium. And inside the stadium, in the middle of it, a cloud started forming. Not just any cloud. A RAIN cloud. And it circled the inside of the stadium above the audiences' seats. Then it started raining. Raining gold dust.
One of the boys in the room consisting of teens of both genders aging from 13-14 where BK was preaching suggested that it rained gold bars (that was before BK revealed that it rained gold dust), and BK said God wouldn't be so stupid as that. He mentioned that not once in history did a durian fall on anyone, because God wouldn't allow it.
#3: Bk friend whose mother died. God told BK to pray, but he didn't know what to pray about, so he flipped through his bible. He prayed to God to show him what to say. He opened the bible and read "21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the LORD, "O LORD my God, let this boy's life return to him!" 22 The LORD heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him, and he lived." He closed the bible, thinking, "Her mother just died and you're telling me about revival?" (or something along those lines). Then he flipped through the bible again and read "43When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face." Then BK thought, "Oh God..., you really want me to pray that for her mother?"
But BK did that anyway. The mother didn't revive (BK said he'd freak out if she actually did. He was walking around the body and praying about revival. Imagin if the corpse actually came back to life)), but the friend went to church for the first time, saying that she "had always wanted someone to show concern for" her.
#4: Once during alter call, one of BK's friend was praying for the people who came to the alter to be prayed for. She stood in front of another girl and reached out a hand to pray for her. She asked God what to say. God showed her a vision of a cheese burger. She was very confused. Like, cheese burger?! She told the person she was praying for exactly what God showed her, "Cheese burger." The girl started to have tears roll down her face. BK's friend was very confused.
After service, she pulled the girl aside and asked why she was crying. The girl told her that once, when she was young, she had almost nothing to eat, then someone came along and gave her a cheese burger, and she started crying again.
#5: There was once this very poor girl from BK's cell group when he was a cell leader a few years ago. She works very hard to put herself and her younger siblings through school. Her younger brother was wasting away with drugs and joined gangs. One night, she went to bed very hungry and told God, "I'd be very happy to just have a pack of milo to drink."
For one whole week, nothing happened. No one gave her any milo. When she went to church on Sunday, one pastor walked up to her and handed her those large tin milo thingy or whatever that you can buy from NTUC. He told her, "I don't know why God asked me to buy milo for you, but I bought it anyway." The girl started crying.

For one whole week, nothing happened. No one gave her any milo. When she went to church on Sunday, one pastor walked up to her and handed her those large tin milo thingy or whatever that you can buy from NTUC. He told her, "I don't know why God asked me to buy milo for you, but I bought it anyway." The girl started crying.

First Aid Lessons on the 29th of May
First Aid lessons are SO not me.
I only got 18/20 for the Theory. In my group of 7, 3 people got full marks. Sze Ning, Zann, and...er...Claire, I think.
The bandaging practical I forgot to reassure Zann (my partner) and say that I'm not going to call 995 for ambulance.
For the Choking and CPR practical, I needed so many hints. Luckily the invigilator (I don't know what the heck they are called) was my teacher, the one who taught me the First Aid stuff.
She let me do only 3 cycles of the CPR and then let me off. LUCKY!

105 ROCKZ!
Today I took the new prototype of Bus 105.
It was the same height as a normal SBS bus, but there wasn't any steps, that's why the roof seems higher. The bars are PINK plastic, and the walkways were wide.
I think this bus was made for the physically disabled. There were two places allocated for those bound by wheelchairs.
The whole front half of the bus was specially reserved for the old and/or disabled, though the standing area was there too.
Green seats (that look more of murky yellow than green, but that was what was stated in the sign) were meant specially for pregnant ladies and the elderly.
The bus number on the back, side, and the front was in orange LED, the front and side ones had the bus' destinations included in them.
The exterior of the bus looked way groovier than an average one, although the colours were still white, red, and purple, the colours of SBS.
If I could sit this bus everyday, I won't mind waiting for it. =D

If you type 'Condo Heroes' in Google search engine, the CH blog is the 3rd result!
If you type my first and last name, you'll get a bunch of results that has nothing to do with me at all.
Maybe you can try typing yours?

HISTORY exam is HISTORY!!!
Woot! My three most hated subjects' exams are over!
Chinese, Geog, and History.
You know, the teacher wrote:
Start: 7: 51
End: 9:06
When I looked at it, I only saw the '51'. I thought that the exam ended at 0851, so I went to chiong it.
I figured I should take 10 minutes for each of the questions in Section A. Due to my lousy calculation skills, I deduced that I should finish Section A by 0811.
So I chionged.
I finished the exam at 0845. When I sat back and stretched a little, I looked at the white board again, and saw that the exam ended at 0906.
I mentally killed myself.
Just then, I got bored so my mind started wandering. I went to stare at my watch.
Then I started calculating about the amount of time I had left, and once again, tried figuring when I should complete Section A.
Then I realized that I had more than 15 minutes left, and I should have finished my Section A not by 0811 but by 0821.
I'm a moron, right?

Okay. You don't have to know this.
I'm just fooling around like I did with my vacuum cleaner yesterday.
Fooled ya!
Why would I be fooling around with my vacuum cleaner anyway?

5 Tips to Survive in RGS Class 110 '08
1) LEARN FRENCH!!!
French is essential to survive among registers 17, 19, and 20.
Scenario: You are 110's Class Chairperson, who is being accused of liking 2 boys who go by the names of GSG (Vert Lunettes Garçon) and er...someone whose name I shall not reveal. No. 17, 19, and 20 enjoy teasing you about this by speaking in French. A language which you do not understand.
Result: You are DEAD.
2) BE A NERD
Being a nerd is the first step to keeping up with the class.
Scenario: The nerds, namely registers 5, 6, 20, and 28, use uber advanced words that even most people don't understand. Lessons fly past us like cheetahs racing for the last piece of meat. Basically they were the only ones who could actually keep up with the lessons and get good grades at the same time. You're lost if you're not on the same page as they are when doing homework.
Result: You FAIL at your exams AND social life.
3) LIKE CONFLICTING SCHEDULES
Actually this applies to the whole school.
Scenario: For example you are no. 20. You have Squash on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. You have 3rd lang. on Tuesday and Thurday. Your schedule on Thursday is cramped.
Result: You are TORN between the choices.
4) BE GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE SLS
They might actually let you off or go easy on you if you break the rules.
Scenario: It is after PE and you don't feel like changing immediately. I wonder what happens if a super strict prefect walks past...would you get booked? You take off your belt for less than 15 minutes. Would you get booked? Your handphone is out but switched off. Would you get booked?
Result: You get BOOKED if the prefect doesn't read the rules properly.
5) HAVE THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND HEAT AND HARSH MOVEMENTS
You'll pretty much kill yourself if you don't have the stamina.
Scenario: One of the air-cons don't seem to work. The projector is tempremental. The temperature in the classroom is warm, almost hot. The excess travelling due to a non-existant working projector.
Result: You sweat like CRAP.

110 AEEEEEEEEEEE!
Yay.
We just merged with 1I (stands for 1...Inspiration?) from RI so now we're officially under the legion of 110I.
Yay.
I'm being spastic and retarded. Ignore me.
We have a blog called 100% Inspiration.
I shall link the blog from this one.
Yay.
Begins to feel really retarded due to failing of Chinese and English revision.

Let's go Raffles lets go!
Today I went for my first Support School Activity (SSA) ever!
B Division Table Tennis Women Finals.
WE WON!!!
And we happened to meet RJC playing their A Division Table Tennis Men and Women Finals against Hwa Chong Junior College there at the Toa Payoh stadium.
They won the finals for both men and women (I think) and they ran over the temporary barriers and hugged each other...sheesh.
I only saw the guys hug though (eww, how disturbing), I didn't see the girls.
But anyway.
RGSS B Division Table Tennis Women Finals won Cedar Girls 3 games to 2.
Game 1: Singles 3
Lost
Game 2: Doubles 2
WON!!!
Game 3: Singles 2
Lost 2 sets to 3
Game 4: Doubles 1
WON!!!
Game 5: Singles 1
WON!!! In fact, a winning streak. Won 3 sets all in a row.
YAY!!! Singles 1 ended, the Table Tennis team of RGSS ran over the blue temporary barrier and glomped the Singles 1 player, and all that I saw was a huge bunch of girls clad in black huddling together. I think the Singles 1 player got buried alive.
On a whole, our Singles is really bad, and our Doubles is fairly good.
Actually, I had though we would lose sadly after being beaten at Singles 2...

MAXIMUM RIDE: THE FINAL WARNING
YES!
Wow. These few days I've found a lot to rejoice about.
So.
MAX RIDE 4 IS OUT IN POPULAR ALREADY!
I just realized that yesterday when I went to Popular the 3rd time in the span of 31 days just to see if Max Ride has reached Popular or not.
I went to search the whole Popular, conviniently missing the section of 'Best Sellers' and 'New Arrivals'. Only when I depressingly went to the counter and admitted defeat did I spot the book.
*Eyes start shimmering and shining in anime style*
So just before my mother paid for the stuff we bought (some assessment books for my sister and a drawing book for me), I quickly and dramatically whisked a Max Ride 4 book from the 'New Arrivals' section and plonked it in front of my mother.
*Floats in bliss and euphoria amidst dark and depressing black background*
So I bought it! And here I am, finished reading the book.
Basically, it's a cool book that brings up the topic of Global Warming, waking us up from the 'all year round I can tan myself in the sun even in Antartica' reverie.
It makes us aware that the world is in fact heating up and humans are killing themselves through Global Warming. Even though the book is about Global Warming, it is still cool!!!
Like all the other Max Ride books, they bet abducted somewhere and somehow, this time, they actually were whisked into a hurricane...
Cool.
Well, as cool as being beaten like egg whites in a Category 5 hurricane with winds moving at more than 155 miles an hour can get, that is.
So...
READ THIS BOOK AND BE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING TODAY! You can borrow it from me.*
*Terms and Conditions apply.
1) You must not be my sister.
2) You must promise not to hurt the book in anyway possible, even making it feel bad is out of the question.
3) You must be someone I know.

GOOOOOOOOOOOld!
I GOT GOLD FOR NAPHA 4 YEARS IN A ROW!!!
YES!!!
This year, I'm 13.
Incline Pull Ups
B: 16 (I did 17 but Mr. Chia (NCC Air's Lieutenant or something) decided not to count the last...like last year...so I got a B for this 2 times in a row...sad...)
Shuttle Run
C: 11.4 seconds (I could have gotten an A if I hadn't slipped that much...)
Sit Ups
A: 35 (1 less than last year...)
Standing Board Jump
A: 179cm (Woots! I usually suck at this...this is the furthest I've ever jumped...)
Sit and Reach
A: 45cm (That's the highest I've EVER gotten...)
2.4 Kilometers Run
B: 15:28 minutes:seconds (OMG!!! Just 2 seconds slower and I got a C!)
Total
26 pts
Award
Gold
YES!!!
I am SO happy. I nearly scored only 25!
YES!!!
Anyway.
I barely perspired during the 2.4km run even though it was blasting hot even at 1700-1730.
But when I walked home after cooling down in bus 105 (which came the moment I stepped into the bus stop [so fortunate!]) and after all my perspiration had evaporated, I was sweating more than I had in the 2.4 run in total.
Wow.
Sugoi desu. (It is amazing)
So...
Today D&T was FUN! We did lots of hands on, soldering the alloys onto our integrated cricuit chip (IC chip) and Sora and I had lots of fun experimenting on the songs in our 16 Melody Player; the perfect instrument to send someone to sleep...cuz' it's so boring.
But anyway, the purpose of mine was SUPPOSED to send someone to sleep like it was a lullaby, so it's not a problem.
D&T ROX.
Seriously.
