There's an econs case study test tmr and i havent studied. I am getting out of hand...
Wells, Bible classes are getting more and more applicable to my daily life and i just know what to do. Only if others allow me to do what I think i should do. Ok...that sounded complicated. Anyways, I have made up my mind to do what i think i should. So, i should do it tmr.
That was rambling.
I am tired. tired of replying. I just want to shut down.
It's not school.
It's just myself.
It's just a feeling that i have now.
It must be fatigue.

Fri's pool session was good! Though I think my shi fu's face has been disfigured. I "dui" his face so many times. Hehe! sorry rui hong! Thanks to jwen, dh, ber and yc for teaching me more skills. And i managed to clear the table on my own a few times! It's an improvement! =)

Was watching this sport on TV this afternoon. I think it was the Winter Olympic Games that is going on in Torino, Italy. It looked like a very cool game but there is no way that I would get to play it in Singapore I guess.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling#Origins_and_history
http://www.worldcurling.org/
Curling is an extremely complex sport based around a very simple idea. Slide a stone down a sheet of ice and have it stop as near the centre of a set of rings (called house), the problem being that your opposition will do everything tactically to stop you from achieving this goal. So the game contains elements of great skill, strategy, finesse, exertion and endeavour and we promise you that the perception of a slow-paced game is just that, a perception.
The game itself is more than 500 years old and its' true origin is hidden in the mist of time, but it was in Scotland the game evolved during the centuries and also where the mother club of curling, The Royal Caledonian Curling Club was formed in 1838. The game has of course evolved through the years and the latest change on how the game is played was introduced in 1990 when the free guard zone rule was introduced.
Fairness is an important part of the game and you shall not be surprised if your opponent will point out to you that they have broken the rules so just to make sure that no advantage is given.

Had a great day in school today!! We played a very good game of Captain's Ball during PE!! I really enjoyed playing with my classmates! Azzimah makes a very good defender. LC makes a very good "goalie" just that I think she got very traumatized by Amanda, LiPing etc while they tried to prevent LC from getting the ball. Shaz and I were screaming non-stop for no rhyme or reason. Wells, I think everyone agrees with me that we had a great time on the field today!! =D
We had a wonderful lesson during Compass aka PCCG. We were sorted according to our personality profiles test result. (I am ESFJ). We got to know more about ourselves and the kind of career options suiting us. Quite useful i should say.
Shall get down to doing my econs homework...*bleah*

Don't ask me what I am doing online at this "unearthly hour"(11.45 pm. In case the timing is wrong as said by you han...). Everyone else are either in bed or studying for tmr's maths test, rushing through whatever questions they can do now and revise the formulae. However, I am online!! And I haven't got down to studying Vectors. I can't even remember the integration formulae. The only thing I can hope for is Complex No. 1 which is rather easy and I think it's going to only be worth 3 marks. 5 if they are kind. Wells...there goes my A for Maths test tmr. I am prepared to fail tmr's test anyway...I hate Vectors and Integration. Ok...not really hate, but rather dislike. We shall see how it turns out tmr...

I have many things on my mind that I can't get down to doing it. It's hindering my process of moving on. I want to let go but it just doesn't seem to be working. I don't know...
I am really thankful for Eliz jie... For being my confidante. For being my guide in following Christ. For "checking" me all these years. For giving me advice. I really appreciate your love, cares and concerns. I am so glad that Christ allowed me to know you!! Btw...I want to be your bridesmaid!! hehe!! =D
Her note to me today had this part: "Trust in God" ...Trust in Him in all you do; think and cast your cares upon Him. Upon daily so, you'll see the peace within yourself and how wonderful His way is for us (1 Peter 5:7, Philippians 4:7).
Today's bible class is very relevant in my daily life. All bible classes are relevant la. just that today's lesson triggered some thoughts. It's about forgiveness and tellling the person how you feel about that person. And about grievances that people have between each other. I have decided what to do. It's just whether I have the opportunity and the courage to or not. It's a difficult thing to do. I don't know if I can get down to doing it or not. I just hope it's the right thing to do.
Psa 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Psa 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

I bought a tube (whatever you call it lah)...of toblerone chocolates. hehe!! The swiss milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat. Hoping that when i just eat this whole tube of chocs, i would be ok. But PA!! these chocs are making me feel worse. It has a bit of bitter taste in it. Its not nice to eat in big quantites. Or is it just my feelings that are mixing my tastebuds up. I don't know...
Thanks to Bernice for listening to me just now...
Thanks to Wei Wei for lending LC her phone for her to talk to me.
Thanks to LC for being such a great sister... I really really will die if she is not there...thanks for listening and comforting me. and cheering me up..your slowness has benefits! hehe! Love ya lots!
Please...to that someone. It's not that you are not special to me. All my friends are special and dear to me. It's just that i have not known you well enough to consider you on the same level as my dearest KXFZ. Some things are just not for you to know. And don't over think abt things. It's not good for your health. It is when paranoid(-ism, from my dictionary) comes in. I don't know how to connect with you. I am sorry that i shouted at you. You have to understand that there are many more things in this world than just to think of the minor details. Don't take every action to heart. I hope you understand.
(2Ch 15:7) Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
(Psa 6:2) Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak:O LORD, heal me; formy bones are vexed.
(Isaiah 35:3) Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Really sorry to everyone. I failed. It's the end of my life at MJC.
To my dearest A103:
These past 1 year has been really exciting. I really enjoyed the joy, fun, peace and laughter and all the lame and cold jokes that we have been entertaining ourselves with. I will miss the free time and all the craps that we share during lessons and during recess/lunches that we just sit down and talk abt what happens around us. I will miss the "hateful" PE lessons where we slog our guts out to get through the lesson. I am unable to help you and be with you along the study route anymore. You all aren't going to hear my voice anymore. I won't be there to irritate you all anymore. Please take care and treasure what you have. Jia you in your studies kk?? Love you guys lots!
---------
To my dearest MJChoir:
I am very sorry.
I am unable to participate anymore in the activities of the choir. You all have to plan and settle the concert details yourselves. I am unable to help out in there anymore. Besides that, I am unable to fulfil my duties as a treasurer and librarian. I really will miss the Tuesday nights and Wednesday afternoons where we spend our time in the AVA room singing our hearts out. And all the other extra practices before the competition and concerts. I will also miss the outings and meals we had together. Thanks lots to MJChoir for making my life in MJC an enriching one. I regret not being able to continue being with all of you. Take care and jia you in your studies and make LR2 a good one kk!!

To my dearest KXFZs:
I was unable to make it. Sorry for not being able to talk to you all yesterday abt the result. I didn't want to. But thanks lots for being with me. I really love you gals a lot! =D

Thanks lots for putting up with me and supporting me through the tough period. I am sorry for disappointing you all...

But no!! I didn't hahah!! I GOT B3!!!
Sorry to those that I have tricked yesterday, some people from MJChoir, Wei2, Azzimah, Dianne, Ai Fung, Shaz and KXFZs!! haha!!
Yupz!! I didn't fail!! I passed!! WHOO HOO!!!

It was a very happy day for me yesterday!! It was filled with surprises and lots of love showered onto me!! I am very grateful to all that was done for me!!
The best birthday gift that i received was from the Father in Heaven. He gave me a satisfactory result for my English paper and gave me many friends and family members to celebrate my birthday with me.
The day started with sms bombarding my hp at 12am, from Mel, LC and my kor Jian Hao. In school, I received presents from my friends and KXFZ. Thanks to LC for knowing me so well and understands what I need. I really appreciate the thought put into getting the presents for me. The day was alright and relaxing. Cheers and shouts were heard during recess when the J1s were released to go back to their sec school to receive their results. It was a year ago that decided my fate to be in MJC.
When school ended at 1pm, I went for lunch with my friends in the school canteen. A bit pathetic though. We had wanted to go out of school but it was pouring!! So, we just entertained oursleves for one and a half hours. After that, LC and I went to see Mrs Chua to get my result.
It was a long wait. But all worth it.
Mrs Chua was in all smiles when she handed me the result slip. I broke down. As usual. But was laughing my head off! I was relieved to see the desired result!!
Since i was crying like i had failed the exam, I decided to trick people. hehe!! With the help of LC, I went downstairs and tried to continue crying. But tears had already stopped flowing and I was already very elated! I couldn't portray the sadness in my facial expression. Bernice met me on the corridor and tried to comfort me. I walked to the study benches where the choir people were and i told them, "This year's concert, you all 'zi ji gao dim' (settle it yourself)." They all were stunned. Then i handed them the result slip and they saw the result. Bernice and Rui Hong "attacked" me. They were furious that I tricked them. hehe!! Well, it was fun!
Then, LC and I went on to trick my friends who were in the canteen. Dianne, Wei, Aifung and Azzimah were worried when LC went back first with a devastated face. I told them that I couldn't do tutorials with them anymore. They were confused. Anyways, i showed them my result slip and they were "wah lao!! so good!!" haha! By then, I had no more tears flowing out. I was smiling happily!
LC went on to trick Shaz. She told her that I didn't feel like talking abt the results. Shaz got worried and called me. I was "crying" (actually laughing) when i spoke to her. When LC and I finally decided to break the news to her, she got so agitated. That was like one hour after she called me. I think LC must have been badly abused by her! I am going to get it from her on mon manz...haha!
LC msg ZW and Mel abt me not wanting to talk abt the result. i told them (zw, mel and mich) that i didnt want to talk abt it and after which, i didnt talk to them anymore. So, yah galS! You do know now that I didnt fail! hehe! are you gals fuming?? hehe!
---------------
After I collected my results, i went home to pack some things. I went to TM after that to meet eugenia, ber, char, pa, jwen, yc, rh, you han, michelle. They refused to let me eat ice cream!! Haha! I realised why when an ice cream cake was carried out. I was very surprised!! It was great celebrating my bdae with my twin sis, Char. I really had a great time with them! Thanks lots for the surprise!!
---------------
I had a sumptuous dinner with my family!! And cutting cake with my cousins! It was really sweet of them to have been there for me and made my day! I love my family members though we had some tough time together! And thanks to Ah Kong (real) for fulfilling my wish of making me sweet mee sua!!
--------------
All in all, I had 3 bdae cakes to blow this year! =D It's amazing how many wishes i get to make! hehe!
--------------
I really thank all who took time off to be with me and to those who msg me from afar like Harris in Indonesia and Auntie Teresita in Philippines. And Kok Yong who sacrificed his break to call me. Thanks lots to everyone who made my day yesterday! i love all of ya! =D

Rachel, your signature color is Pink Chiffon
There's nothing saccharine about you — your sweetness is one hundred percent natural! A gentle, thoughtful romantic like you must be paired with a color that's soft and warm — but still has a subtle sophisticated sheen. That's why Pink Chiffon is the perfect color for you! You're probably known for making the most of every situation and trying to see the best in people. But while you may be cheerful and innocent at times, you're nobody's fool. You may see the world through rose-colored glasses, but you can still see, after all.While you make wise insights time after time, it's probably your good nature and perpetual optimism that are what you're known for and what make you a joy to be around. Even those who sometimes make fun of your Pollyanna-like proclamations will turn to you when they need a friend and some cheering up. So keep pink, Chiffon. With you around, the world's a better place!
The results changed from the last time i took the test (30 Dec 2005)!! I was Yellow then.
--------------------
i feel myself slipping into sudden disillusions about the choices that i have made. there are many things that are stopping me from moving on. i feel that my engine has started. but there is the psychological fear in me that makes me just afraid of facing the future thus hindering my movement onward. i have no idea why i put myself through all these pain and mental torture. It's not about MJC. it's not about the present day lectures, tutorials and tests. these are ok. its the deciding factor of my future that i would only know on fri. it would be my deciding factor if i can carry on with my daily routine of going to school everyday, attending lectures and tutorials, crapping during breaks with my friends, meeting friends after school everyday, singing with mjchoir on tues and weds. i dont want to forgo all of these. but who knows the future? what will really happen if i don't make it? there is always the possibility right? don't tell me to relax. i know the 2 consequences of fri. that's just my personality. it can't be helped. i am like that.

Does your name begin with: R
You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal- the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body. However, physical attractiveness is not very important to you. You have to be proved to be worthy for a partner. You have a need to prove yourself the best. You want feedback on your performance. You are open, stimulating & romantic.

Yest was the Road Race at Bedok Reservior!!
It was an enjoyable afternoon spent under the scorching sun!
Triton came in overall 2nd! Greatest and biggest applause should go to our house captain aka my classmate from 05A103 aka Vega OHL aka etc...haha! ZEHOU RAWKS!! He really led the whole house in with lots of noise and enthusiasm. Not easy being a house captain manz. And thanks to him, all those who had to run in the afternoon were banned from eating the Kuih Bangkit that i brought to share in class.
Kenneth: Hey! Don't finish all ah! Save some for me! Rachel, bring the remainder back next week ah!!
We had great fun talking abt Dianne's best friend, suaning LC all the way from Pasir Ris to Bedok, telling lame jokes and crapping like what we always do.
We had some moments of unhappiness as we could not slow jog in front of the mascot. We had to walk behind the mascot, wait for the rest of the people and walk as a house. The pace was too slow for us!! but well, we had to wait for the crowd to move together. It was a road race where we didn't sweat much.
All in all, it was great!! TRITON Rawks!!

Darns...I am such a perfectionist. I just finished the Geography Project on New York. I was working on it since 5 pm. That means its 5 hours on just touching up and editing some parts. Most of the work was done by Azzimah over the CNY! Hehe!
i am not totally a perfectionist loh...If i was, this entry would already be flawless and the 'I's would be capitalised. But do you think i care?? No lohz!! And i don't do my best in homework and tests. But i do want things to be done right. Not to the extreme that it has to be perfect, but at least nicely done.
Ok..that was rambling.

Anyways, CNY was well spent. Meeting people that I havent met in a year! And seeing how the guy teenagers of my relatives grow to look more handsome or the other. *ahem*
The food was great too!! Ate lots and drank lots of orange F&N. It was fun lah! Going around collecting ang pows and hearing the auntie, uncles all chatting away about their children's lives and how their lives just revolve around taking care of the children. And abt how tall i have grown! Haha! (No loh...not that i grew...they just think that i have grown taller. What else could they have said right??)
Went church on sun morn which was chu yi also! really enjoyed myself! And woah! Wat a great way to start the new year with the spiritual feast!
3rd day went visiting with the choir people! 1st place was ber's house. Then off to Cass'. Then Gerald and then KY. Finally ended it at Gladys' place. It was a great outing with them, singing and chit chatting etc. Esp after not seeing some of them for so long!!

Road race tmr...
Walking!! haha!!

It can't be helped if i think too much and get really paranoid over somethings. Isn't it a woman's preragative to worry abt things?? It's not that i don't trust in the Lord and that i don't believe that my prayers won't be answered. However, there is still this tinge of doubt that lingers in the mind. You were suppose to comfort me. Why is it that it ended up being a reflective conversation and made me reflect on my life???
