HEY there! SLC was SOOOO cool! It’s a lot to explain so just let me put pictures to show you the place and my group. This is the entrance up the school. On the left, the gray road? that’s the DRIVEWAY up.

This, while you’re walking up the driveway and turn your head to the right, you see the tracks and fields and everything. It’s really huge!

This is a closer look at the tracksAnd this is their clock tower where we had to take out temperature on the first day.

their ’statue’ haha

their walk way down

where we had REALLY good food

I haven’t been updating for a long time so obviously i have LOADS of news!
1) My cousin’s coming on the 22 JUNE!!!!!!!! Its so exciting this means that i get chocolate and stickers(what i requested) when they come down!!!!!! nah i’m just kidding,that’s just one small part. She’s going to be coming to My school too! AND we get to help Nathanael shop for furniture!!!(i think) :D or maybe not. But at least i’ll get to see a “renovation” in my house! HOW COOL IS THAT.

that’s her on the right. The lady on the left is her mum, my aunt.
Anyway, second piece of news:
2) I”M IN THE EXCO!!!:D
I know i am SO excited! but a bit scared too; cause i’m in the SECRETARY and the previous exco says it’s a pretty tough job. I can only turn to God cause He’s going to be the ONLY one that can help me. So I guess i can look to my BRIGHT FUTURE with confidence that God will help me!
it’s also been a pretty rough road already, cause there’s been people jealous or like disappointed that they’re not in, so yeah they’ve been throwing strange glances at us. oh well, never mind. I can’t wait! GOt to go now, bye!!
Amanda

EXAMS ARE HERE!!!!!
well, i’m already done with 2. English and chinese. Thank God Chinese is over. I totally couldn’t even understand the first compre passage! i told my friends that i thought it was cyber bullying then they laughed.i guess you could tell my situation then. and in the last 15 minutes i havent even started on my second compre, which is 6 questions. :S
English was manageable, but i was told not to put my hopes so high, cause the standard of English had increased by alot. So oh well. Not much to be said right? Since i probably won’t know the outcome.
And the papers i have left are SS, Chem, Physics, Geog, Math P1 and P2 and A math P2.
Okay i have to go now. Those who read this post please pray for me for wisdom and srength and enough time to study in time for exam. THANKS! bye.

Syf was so scary!!!!! i mean it. First, we got to be released from school at like, 9. then we got to put lots of MAKEUP!!! hahaha. They had difficulty putting eyeliner for me cause they said my eyes were BIG. then they smudge smudge smudge and i looked like a ghost.

 yeah, just look at my eyes. after putting make-up, we ate.

and then, we went off.

and thi was their holding room before the syf!!!

and we finally did it

the lady in yellow is my instructor. and that’s me with my blur head.

WE DID IT!!!!!

I haven’t been posting for a long while. For like one month.Guess you need self-discipline huh.Recently, there was the 10th year anniversary. i got to wear HEELS! i’ve never worn them before unless you count a heel that is shorter than your pinky nail. Anyway i managed to RUN in them!!!! i know, it was quite cool. *click click click haha we had to wear a thick thick blazer too, and stockings. imagine that. But there was food. So, it kind of balanced out the ‘deal’. haha.

And other than that, i’ve had lots of drama rehearsals for syf. It was actually, quite a fun thing to do.:) Surprisingly,it’s not a drag but on day i’ll be VERY VERY nervous.i can’t believe that i need to remember all the locations, the cues, the things i have to say!!! there’s only going to be ONE chance. oh well, haha.

ANd there’s also a couple of things i have been pressurised about like school, and tests have really been coming on! this coming week, there’s going to be like 5 tests! and with added cca rehearsals for syf, i don’t know how to cope. Only God i can count on. and only him i can trust. i guess that has been my week. Please pray for me, so that i can cope with my studies, council, syf and everything else, the smallest thing you can think of. Thanks!

I keep losing things! REALLY! I mean it! I’m just like Neville in Harry Potter Books. haha, i keep making relations to Harry Potter books and movies, but seriously. It’s really irritating. How do you not lose things? Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks.I would appreciate it. If only there was this GPRS thing on all my objects, then whenever i lose something i can trace back my steps.
just yesterday, i lost my wallet (with my council badge and ez link card in it) and in the last 3 weeks, i lost my waterbottle and braces elastics. (I found my waterbottle though yesterday), and i’ve lost my watch, my keys, like, 10 waterbottles, and……..i’m sure i can come up with more. But i can’t just think anymore. OH WELL.

Anyway, i can’t wait for my cousins to come this coming July! Or more like the whole family is coming down. Cause my cousin’s brother has to come down for NS, so the whole family will be coming down for a while, then they will leave Nathaniel to go to NS, and they will go to other countries for holidays. This is my Cousin, Theophila.

Her family (4 years ago)

I took this from her facebook page. This is what she looks like now. And this was what she used to look like.

There was actually one more photo that was better, but i kind of ruined it, so….never mind. Anyway, yeap, that’s what she used to look like. And there was once when she came down to Singapore after that. For her grandfather’s funeral that was in Singapore . Though we were supposed to be sad, we talked to each other quite happily. Anyway, she’s coming down again! Just can’t wait!
Oh P.S. I found my ez link card. at the khatib station. Thank God. I’ve been PRAYING and PRAYING! See? prayer works.

YAY! Finally the tests are over! it’s been a really long and draggy period, studying and studying. So tiring after like 2 months of slacking. Anyway, i really hate my principal. Not that she’s really new, wait, she is, she entered last year i think, if i remembered correctly. I don’t know if this is what she is incharge of, but i’m still mad at her.

1) 4 IMPORTANT TESTS IN TWO DAYS!

well, yeah, i suppose you could say this is her fault. She’d have probably discussed it with the HOD right? DID YOU KNOW THAT WE HAD A MATH AND GONG HAN ON MONDAY, and PHYSICS AND SS on the NEXT DAY?! It’s crazy. studied till 11, but that doesn’t matter. The RESULTS YOU GET makes you disappointed then you come down to the base of the whole problem and blame the person who decided the days of the tests. but really! i mean, you’ve got to practise ALOT for a math, and memorize PAGES of ss, and well, for physics we had 3 chapters of lens, and waves and all the spectrum nonsense. beat that. with the gong han format that i had to memorise too. then, i got lousy results. for a math and physics. i haven’t gotten back ss or gong han but I’m still pissed.

2) NO SPORTS CARNIVAL!

We had some stupid 3km running thing that wasn’t any fun at all. and very tiring. at some bishan park 2. stupid plan. last year was better!

3) HIP programme

This is probably exactly like TAF club, but just a change of name. what use do you think the ministry cancelled it for if she put it up again? STUPID FAT ASS.

He looks very nice here.:)

This one too!

They all look nice here.

and oh! EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!:

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE IS COMING OUT ON THE  16/JULY/2009!!!!!!!!!!

haha, VERY IMPORTANT.

They look very cute here.

today i had tuition in the afternoon.
then, i had youth worship.
then, i studied and practised a math and ate.
then, i went home to practise piano, clean scootie’s poop, and read Harry Potter.
then, i went out to eat together with my family.
then, i went home to play computer.

FINISH! haha. not very entertaining a saturday isn’t it? Seems like at every start of the week, i dread school. People, this is a normal thing for me and has started since primary school. haha. always like that one. Anyway, then i have fun looking forward to end of every different subject in class, look forward to recess, look forward to looking at hot guys, look forward to end of school. then on friday, i look forward to weekends. But i don’t get much in return. so sad.

Anyway, sundays are more fun though. We’re going to service together, pass notes (not advisable) and eat together. then, we’re going to play some sport thing! Can’t wait. seems like everyday it’s like that. oh well. can’t think of anymore that is worth posting. See ya.

Two things i learnt in debate:

1) it’s fun when you win

2) It’s definitely not when you lose

Okay, let me explain. The first time, i was in the debate team. yes, debate. hehe. I was the third speaker, with Arina being the first, and Charlotte second. The motion was intergrated resorts are important to attract tourists in singapore. We were the proposition, and was really good the first time, with teacher’s help and someone to do research for us, and lousy opponents (no, really i mean it, i bet they didn’t really care whether they won or not) anyway, we won.

the second time, the motion was that old folks homes have no place in our society. We were the opposition. I guess we thought it would be easy. anyway, this time, the motion was given one day before the actual thing, and our teacher was absent. The worst thing, cause we expected we would probably be against a better class. And this class got into the semi finals without going through the first round. This is because our level had 7 sec 3 classes, making it an odd number, so they were the odd one. Anyway, i guess if you were given more time to prepare you could have done better. and yeah they did. according the the judge, there was very little to separate us from winners and losers. ANd guess what, the most infuritating thing was that i realised just this evening, they had interpreted the motion wrongly! The motion was: old folks homes have NO PLACE to be in our society. The way the motion was put across was harsh, and means that old folks homes have no reason to exist in our society. Agree? well, the propostion interpreted it as old folks homes should not be built in our society which is TOTALLY WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh boy. i feel sad.
