yayy nz rocked! (:
the lifestyle there's just so much more relaxing and slow-paced and stress-free I LOVE IT :D
the school there's pretty cool too. my friend enjoys going to school! haha but from what i heard it's not surprising that she does.
i ate lots of icecream in nz. almost everyday! i bet i've gained weight. while we were staying in auckland with my cousins a meal could comprise of beef, chicken, fish, pork and lamb. plus vegetables tofu rice soup and dessert. faints. i know i've gained weight. hahaha. the icecream there's really good though! ive got no regrets(: hehe
oh there was quite a big earthquake while we were at my friend's house in masterton! we felt the tremors but thankfully not the full effect of it. THANK GOD. cause we had toured the north island for 8 days before driving southward to masterton. and we reached masterton one day before the earthquake struck! 0.0 if we had arrived one day late (which we had planned to do so previously but changed our plans) we would have felt the major impacts of the earthquake!
that sounds awfully like something out of a movie but God's grace is for real(:
nz was awesome. it really opened my eyes to what david experienced when he wrote the psalms. we saw 2 lost sheep on the beach! yeah the beach. it was pretty amusing but i immediately thought of what Jesus said about Him wanting all His lost sheep found. the beach is beautiful, like this world is, but it's no place for sheep..just like how christians dont belong to this earth.
i've learnt quite a lot of other things in nz..the trip gave me a broader perspective on life and the bible. im grateful for that(:
my friend's mom invited me back to her house in nz next year after my a's. haha i want to go there to learn driving cause i wont be eligible for it in spore. they can drive there at 15 and a half! i was supposed to take lessons from my friend but due to time constraint i only got to drive the lawn mower. hahah there's lots more about nz but i shall stop my ranting here.
i hope you all had a very merry christmas! cant wait for cbg gathering on sunday!!!!

LOVE
cheryl

char.

hello everyone!

ohoh nu, piong can go with you! hahaha(: if none of the crapbags go that is..haha.

happy hols guy! christmas is coming tralalalallalalalaaaaa(:

any of you without any plans on christmas eve? cause my mom says i can invite friends over so here's an open invitation to anyone whos party-less on the 24th night!

deeeeeeeeee

i had a wonderful birthday!! thanks a whole lot guys!
i'm touched.
(`:
i know over the past year there's a lot more stuff i could have done to be a better friend to you all..like being more in touch with your lives, and i'm sorry for the times i've let any of you down or discouraged any of you with my insensitive words or actions ):
but you guys have been the greatest friends on earth and i'm reaaaallly blessed to have you all in my life(:

anyway, my piano exam wasnt too good:/ i had so many regrets after coming out of the exam room! hahaha

regret #1: playing without the score- STUPID MISTAKE. you dont need to play without the score but my teacher wanted me to..but i could have just opened the book and put it in front of me!!! so each time i got distracted i forgot bits of the music and ended up either making up notes or playing just the right hand.
(note i said each time. it happened more than once)

regret #2: telling the examiner i was 17 instead of 16. it was only after i came out of the exam room when i remembered that the very reason i wanted to take my exam before my bday was precisely so that i could say that i was 16! apparently the younger you are, the more impressed the examiner will be, and possibly be more lenient? sighh. stupid me.

regret #3: stalling when the examiner asks what i want to do in the future. denise take note: the politically correct answer is i would love to do music! actually i think anybody in the right state of mind would give that answer. but i didn't! i just went 'uhhhhh....i'm not really sure yet.' examiner: 'so is music going to play a part in your future?' me: 'uhh. i haven't really decided.'
ohhhh didn't i wish to slap myself after that!

sigh. but i wasnt really thinking then. i guess after my playing i was just rather shaken about my mistakes. ohwell. but God was such a comfort after my exam. i was so scared i wouldn't pass (and still am) but He reminded me through Jeremiah 17:7 to put my confidence in Him and not my playing(:
i hope i'll never forget this exam experience though..how i've never depended on Him so much before, and how He just provided every single thing i needed!
relearning 3 pieces 3 days before my exam was no doubt traumatic, but thank God i managed to get it done! and my programme notes- i'm really thankful for such a supportive mom and a photoshop-savvy bro!
Jehovah Jireh, my Provider(:
oh the exam room was super cold. SUPER COLD. at least i went there for studio practise twice so i was prepared. i wore four layers of clothes! haha. and i brought a heat pack to keep my fingers warm. hehe.
but yay i'm just relieved my exam's over((:
all the best dee!! i wont be in spore to wish you on the day of your exam, but ive confidence that you'll do well! really.
alrightt i shall end my post here. happy holidays to you all-enjoy it we all deserve a break!! :D

LOVE LOTS
cheryl

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHERYL!

we love you! :) :) :)

i'm so dead for my piano exam ):
you see my bach piece wasnt in syllabus so i had to write to the exam board in london to get my programme approved..then after it was approved about 6 months back, i just discovered 3 weeks ago that my programme was overtime!
and you get penalised for overtime which is about (dunno how many marks) but it still can distinguish between a pass and a fail!
so anyway, i assumed since the five movements of bach i submitted was all approved, i could take out 3 mvts and just play the other 2.
and THEN
shock shock horror horror i just called the piano guy TODAY three days before my exam, and realised that i can't anyhow change my programme!
he said it's approved as a whole thing and you can't take out anything you like! so i'm left with no choice but to play everything and get penalised for overtime (not to mention bad playing)
i've been desperately practising my other 3 mvts today which i've abandoned rather long ago. sighhh. and i'm really unprepared for the rest of my pieces too..
please pray for my exam k i really dont wanna waste my parents' money ):):):
its this thurs 5.20pm.
VERY SORRY CHAR i cant make it for arabian nights ): but all the best and i'll be praying for you!


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -Phil 4:13
please grant me the faith to believe!

missing you guys,
cheryl

INFECTIOUS MONONUCLEOSIS IS WHAT I'VE GOT!

good news is i know whats wrong, and its not THAT severe
bad news is THERE IS NO CURE so pray my body can fight it off.
worse news is BLOOD TEST AGAIN ON MONDAY): if my liver screws up more than double then yes i cannot run from the hospital anymore cause the specialist IS at the hospital. poo.

but its quite funny you know what its called? KISSING DISEASE HAHAHA. cause its passed through saliva. so i do hope none of you took my food at crys's house. through sharing food and drinks and if i cough and sneeze and my 'mucus/saliva gets suspended in the air and you inhale my infected saliva/mucus' then may Lord have mercy on you and grant you a speedy recovery.

but im fine i think!(: (: (: i dont even look sick really. my classmate lucy came that day and said 'you dont look sick la'. so please visit me im homebound for another week or so. if youre healthy and well and unafraid of my virus. hahahaha.

thanks for the prayers(:

love you guys byeee

read more about it on http://www.medicinenet.com/infectious_mononucleosis/article.htm (:

hello everyone!

I'M PROBABLY GOING INTO THE HOSPITAL TMR OR FRIDAY SO PLEASE VISIT ME!
its not confirmed yet just pray really hard that my bloodtests (again) have better results..

i've had high fever that comes on and off every few hours for 7 whole days already!!! hits like 38 plus and sometimes goes beyond 39..

anyway did you know that doctors always lie? when they did the finger blood tests they said it wasnt gonna be painful and so i didnt expect it to be painful then suddenly the mechanism makes a sound and then it stings badly and then ahhhh finger blood ah thats my finger!

then the arm one is super scary but thankfully i have a doctor whos super good and experienced so he made it super not painful for me but it was so scary seeing so much blood and a needle up my arm my dad had to stand next to me and hold my hand sigh needle/blood phobia.

i dont have dengue at least. the blood test for dengue was negative but its not always 100% accurate of course. then my platelet count is 97 and the desired range is above 140! by right i should have been hospitalised on mon when they found out my platelet count was so low. but my doc's so nice he let me stay home since if i go hospital they cant do anything besides take my temp to monitor my fever and take blood tests which my doc can do.

if i go into hospital they'll take blood from me everyday=( (on the bright side i'll lose weight hahahah okay kidding). but my blood tests show my liver's a bit wonky like some SGPT reading was 77 and the desired range is 8-54 and the SGOT reading was so bad mine was 82 and desired is 16-40 (the 54 and 40 are for like those SUPER HUGE GIMONGOUS people!!)

so yes friends from the looks of it i have to go in! i would like nice food too(: i have no diet restrictions dont worry! haha.

just pray that i'll be okay yeah. and thanks for those who msg to check up on me sorry if i dont reply cause half the time im sleeping.. or too tired to reply and then it slips my mind. its my 6th hour awake right now today, imagine that.haha.

so yes, see you when i see you! sorry for a super long posts bout sickly dee.

HOCK SENG!

haha go see!
aiii luvvv ehmmm geee (:






- char.

hello! its 4:03 am

looks like our blog posts are just gonna be put up at awkward hours.. but im only up cause my temp just hit 39.5!

and i hope its not dengue or anything.. ive had fever for 4 days and it fluctuates so much. i nearly blacked out nearly puked and always got headache and dizzy spells:(

please pray for me! cause honestly my faith just i dunno. disappeared. dont pray for myself anymore. so you can pray bout that for me too if you could(:

anyway happy holidays guys..

dee

i havent posted anything since forever.:) i was jsut reading our first few posts and it brought back so many memories.. sigh!

i think our time in MG was really something, wasnt it? this seems so belated and all cos we left like almost a year ago.. but i was just thinking how much things have changed since then. We're all so.. i dont know. MATURE. now. haha.. it was like the age of innocence.. hmm.. those stupid teachers' day costumes we put on.. all that dolling up for expresso.. HAHA. sigh.

i cant believe ten years flew by so fast! and this year kinda went really quick too! like before you know it, we'd be haggedy haggs with stretch marks(!), eye bags, wrinkly skins, vericrose veins... EWWW and KIDS! (oh the horror..)

-nureen!

my piano exam is in less than a month
I AM SOOOOOOOO DEAD
seriously. i've never felt such a sense of urgency/desperation before than when i received my exam date in the mail just now.
i'm so unprepared!! programme notes undone, pieces not memorised, and what more my teacher seems so inconsistent in her teaching- one week she tells me one thing, the next week she tells me another, depending on her mood.
ARGH
and then there's other stuff to settle too..like PW and my class shirt which i'm still trying to do on photoshop. ive gotta get it done by next week before school closes.
sigh
i hate piano exams. or any performance exams. no matter how much you prepare, it all bogs down to THAT day, whether you do well or screw up.
i guess that's where trust comes in...........but i still hate piano exams:/

Lord, in Your grace, i trust that You'll cause all things to work out for my good..even though i haven't been the best daughter around lately.

hows exams for everyone? im not done but did i tell you about my retarded time table? in ib right everyone has 3HLs which are really alot to study and then 3 SLs. then most people's HLs are rather spaced out AND MIND WAS CRAMMED INTO 2 DAYS! i died! i couldnt do any of them properly. and im gonna fail english how sad is that okay not english but lit cause i wrote soooo super out of point. oh well.

its good i guess everyone's still mugging but im done and free and im going out later! think im watching balls of fury and shopping with my classmates.

and remember how i used to moan and groan bout being a loner in school. okay not really but being like the only girl and all. got used to it and actually am very thankful cause i hang out with like the same few guys and theyre all really nice people!

one's liza's church friend lucy who is really funny. one's nana's dance friend's boyfriend tee and he's really funny too. and one's char/kelly/grace/von's church friend ian and he's really funny too too. hahahaha. and he comes to this blog so HELLO IAN!

what a small world! its a small world after all lalalallaa. but. somehow i havent seen any of you in so long so its not so small a world anymore:(

OHOH! im planning a concert as part of a contra arrangement with singapore art museum, its a small concert on 17th dec at the SAM audi itself so if you guys are around please support! debbie's performing and michelle yeo too and im not sure if i am. but its half christmas half classical ---> christmas classics!

God bless everyone with their results and let's meet up soon! i didnt even see zai. ZAI I WANNA MEET UP WITH YOU WHY ARE YOU AND KELLY ON A PRIVATE DATE TODAY WITHOUT EVERYONE ELSE):

BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEe.

much love, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA

Guess who?? I'm back. And with yet another anecdote of yet another injury i have sustained to amuse you all in this time of stress! So go ahead, take pleasure in my pain. You officially have my permission to do so.

So tonight, after dinner, i was being nice and decided to bring my plate to the kitchen. However, the dear chair decided it hadn't caused me pain for a rather long time, (It usually does this every other day at least, so having refrained from doing so for about an entire half-week, is considered a quite an achievement) and felt it time to revert to its routine. I guess again, that you can guess what happened! But with encouragement from mu, i have decided to share my tragic experience with you. So, very predictably, i walked into the chair. Interestingly, i did not get any cut or bruise from this. But this, in turn, (i conclude) upset the chair, and so it became determined to cause me some misery. It toppled onto my poor toe! At first, it was kind of numb but after a while, the pain started to come and i started screaming and screaming! It was SOOO painful, i tell you. And this was the sharp edge of the chair, mind you. So much for being responsible and bringing my plate to the kitchen! Subsequent to my screaming, of course, as usual, nobody came to my rescue as they all think i'm crying wolf again! Huh! But they started to believe me when a pool of blood accumulated on my toe. I repeat, a POOL!! It was gigantic, almost the size of a five-cent coin! Yuck. And because so much blood was oozing out, it turned from light pink to light red to dark red to darker red, and eventually to an almost black! This was seriously gross. I would have fainted if i wasn't so experienced and used to the sight of my poor self bleeding (thanks to countless wounds, cuts, gashes, lacerations i have chalked up over the years).

After this, my mother, with good intentions of course, came and started dabbing it with a tissue. This sent me into immense agony. I shall kindly spare you the gory details. Next, i waited quite a long time and endured much pain, so that a clot would form or something, and after a while, i examined it, and deemed it time for me to start moving around again. BUT, as i started climbing the stairs, i hit the injured part of my toe on the edge of the stairs!! (The stairs again! Refer to previous traumatic post, regarding the ankle) What luck, you say! Yes i agree completely! Needless to say, the rather fragile clot, or whatever it's called, over the cut was broken and there was blood all over the stairs. Double gross. Okay, you get the picture. I shan't paint it all explicitly for you, or you'll all probably faint! (You're not as experienced as me, you see) And so i have obviously pulled through my hour of trauma with resilience and survived to finally hobble here to tell this little tale of my great misfortune tonight. See, i just provided you all with many reasons to be happy! 1) I'm not nicole. 2) I don't get injured like nicole. 3) Pieces of furniture and stairs don't hate me like they hate nicole. Oh, these are but three! Well, i guess you're all in luck, because i've got to go figure out a way to shower now, in order to suffer the least possible pain, and can't rant on and on and on and on and on...

Till next (traumatic) time,
Cheerio!
nic

PS. DID I SAY IT WAS THE SAME SIDE OF ME AS MY ANKLE?!!

TRAUMA TRAUMA TRAUMA

Hello everyone!

Hasn't it just been eons since i last wrote something here! Anyway, the reason I'm doing this now at this weird hour is because i'm at home! No, crystal, i'm not skipping Chinese again. I have turned over a new leaf! Actually, I'm at home because yesterday i sprained my ankle in school!! Oh the trauma! Let me amuse you (and maybe evoke a little sympathy) by recounting my terrible experience. It was this stupid lit classmate's fault, who i will kindly decline to name, because he was saying something at the top of the steps at the North Lodge and i was looking at him, instead of where i was going! I concede that perhaps i am a tad uncoordinated, but still! He should know better than to talk to somebody when they're going down a rather steep filght of steps, no?! So i guess you can guess what happened? I missed a step and, quite unglamourously, might i add, twisted my ankle! We're talking seriously twisted here. As in, I had the absolute horror of hearing my ankle bone crack! Please bear in mind, I am not exaggerating, although some of you are probably quite skeptical at this point. I promise you, it went C-R-A-C-K! I can't tell you how freaked out i was! Can you imagine, considering how my poor ankles are all the way down there and my poor ears are all the way up here, how terribly distraught i must have been to hear such a loud crack?? It was louder than any other bone crack i have heard throughout my 17 years of existence. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

However, very unfortunately, nicole's misery did not end there! Oh no, it was not to be! Even after twisting my ankle, and hobbling very awkwardly for quite a distance, my dear good classmates still believed that i had sustained no injury whatsoever! Preposterous i say!! They called me the girl who cries wolf!! It was only after lit, and i said it really really hurt, that they started to have the slightest, remotest idea that maybe i AM injured! So one of my classmates, being ever so helpful, thought he was some exotic bone healer or whatever, and took it upon himself to fix my ankle. He took my foot and began pressing it at all places! This had, to his surprise (for he genuinely thought he was a professional), and my extreme unsurprise, aggravated it. So poor me was left to limp around school in agony for the rest of the day until my mum came to pick me up. Even then, i was not to be left alone to wallow in self-pity! My mother brushed it off like it was nothing at all and said it was a 'simple sprain'. Well, i don't know what's so simple about nicole (her only daughter, mind you) in pain! And the icing on my cake? My dad was laughing at my new way of walking and hopping around. Oh wait, there's a cherry on top! I was in the doctor's office for TWO short minutes, after which he concluded that it was nothing serious. I'll tell you about serious. Being stuck awake the whole night in bed, because you can't find a suitably comfortable position to fall asleep in! That's serious. Did i mention that i can't even move it now?

Okay i shall stop boring you with graphic details of my anguish. Moral of the story: nicole in the North Lodge is like a bull in a china shop. I just realised i wrote two huge chunks. It's like an essay. I bet i now hold the record for longest post! At least something good came out of it! Well, what do you expect me to do having noone to talk to all day except the maid, when i'm stuck at home? Actually, to be precise, i'm stuck in my chair since i can hardly go anywhere, thanks to my distressed ankle. If you've made it this far, you're either really concerned about me, or you take pleasure in my pain. Let's hope, for my sake and yours, it's the former. And if it is, heaven forbid, the latter, at least i've cheered you up! But then again, you all probably didn't make it till here. Anyway, i've got to go read Great Expectations now. See you guys!

Lots of love,
nic

i have smart friends!

eh sarah! howd you know, that i won't be the famous one when you grow up! there's time yet! hahahaha!
okay right, its more likely that i'll be famous for toppling over the campbells mushroom soup pyramid in cold storage than for anything credible like acting. however, i know MING MIGHT BE FAMOUS TOO! today she had her piano exam, oh, what a prodigy! haha. i don't know why though, but her examiners were trying to gouge each others eyes out with a blanko halfway through her piece hahaahha. okay anyway my point is, CONGRATS CHARRRRRRRRR! i'm so proud of you! which is more than i can say for myself, seeing that i topped math for the level, FROM THE BOTTOM! (probably)
moving on, LETS STUDY TOGETHERRRRRRRRR!:D:D:D somebody organize pls. and pick a day when nicole's not free, if not, nobody will get any studying done. hahaha, just kidding nic. you know we love you.
ITS ALWAYS BETTER WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER((O:
much love, mu
ps: YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT MING'S NEPHEW ONE DAY!! SOOOOOOO CUTE! be warned though. he tends to puke, when you least expect it.

WOW an A! CHARR!!! youre too prola
i always knew i'd grow old to know someone famous.. that would be YOU char! inventio was great by the way even though i was really sleepy and tired. good value for money. ten dollars to watch a STARRR perform!
hahahaha. hmm no one seems to update anymore. our blog went for a vacation. can we bring it back to life? actually the only reason im updating is to avoid reading my malay. eck.
and yes char, i suppose i kinda miss the exam period in mg. i think even if we do study together now that it wont be like before. sigh. that makes me sad. :(
my bio text book rocks too! its got nice nice messages and drawings of . ehem, stuff. ahah mostly by that eliza. i wonder where our quote book is. we should bring that back to life too.kinda hard to do since we're not in the same class anymore! GAH now im getting sad. :(

-sarah!

hey guys. wow no one has posted for so long.

anyway, i miss you guys. so much, you know. ): i just studied with debbie and jessie yesterday, and the fact that i was just hanging out with them made me so happy. when debbie was in the void deck and jessie eliza rachel wang ethel were all together for a while and i suddenly felt this surge of joy. cos.. its so rare for all of us, or even some of us, to be together. that makes me sad. thanks for coming for Inventio.. i hope you guys had a good time together. you guys must treasure these times okay.. exams are coming, and well i hope that we can use this to spend time together again. even if its just studying. i loved studying with ya'll last year. (: i remember how we'd stay in the canteen till late, or study in random places like Venezia or people's houses or something. and it was fun.. well i don't know about you, but whenever i think about the prelim/o level studying period, i remember it being fun. its like when i'm with you guys, i don't have to try, you know? i can be the most boring person in the world, i don't have to try and be interesting. and i can be quite boring hahaha ok but that's not the point. you know what. i think my favourite textbook from last year would be my bio book. haha. i spent so long on that book, trying to remember everything. wahlao. but anyway, its not cos i love bio, but cos in it there are so many scribbles from you guys. haha. they're all retarded. but i love them. (:

i know we all have new friends and stuff.. but we shouldn't forget each other and we should try. to me you guys still feel like home. i don't know if you guys want to try.. but i want to try. i hope some of you even come here, and read this.. and do something about it. but oh well. i give up our friendship to God. God does work. like for Inventio and my IS. (Individual Skill for DEP, we all need to have one for A levels.) my teacher, Mrs Creffield, told me i would do very well if i did straight (pure) acting. yup so i didn't have to be worried over whether i was good enough, or well i just didn't have to worry much about it, cos God gave me an answer before i needed to panic. and Inventio went well, i got an A! so that's almost like a guaranteed A for promos. so God will do His stuff.. and God will do something for us. like i said, i really miss you guys. i love you.

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving

Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here?
And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing
It's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at them stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression i was somewhere in between
With only two, Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
There is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together

IT'S AUGUST ALREADY.
sighh time flies.
makes you think whether how you're living is really worthwhile sometimes.
many times i just dont feel that i'm living purposefully-im just living day by day with temporal goals in mind, hardly seeing the eternal.
i am a flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow.
if i were to die tomorrow i dont think i'll have much treasure stored up in heaven:/ yet it seems so logical to focus on temporal stuff since like WR and EOM and econs test and promos..and you're not even sure if you're gonna die tomorrow, so why focus on eternity? (if you dont hand up EOM, you also die. but its another type of death so its not counted)
we're like half living in this temporal world and half in eternity..but God says we're supposed to live for eternity right.
"Set your hearts on things above, not on earthly things." -Col 3:2
i guess that's where faith comes in to believe that if you 'seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well'. BUT its really not easy. especially in the competitive world we live in today. boohoo.
all these things:
1) God-given wisdom you need to study to do well
2) ability to get into a good university
3) ability to find a secure job
4) a stable income
5)
6)
i'm sure there's lots more but i cant think of anymore now..
anyway hope to see you all soon!!!
teachers day YAY(:
but hc's celebrations are on friday and thursday's a normal school day for us):
booo.

have a nice day everybody.


GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TODAY <3

love
cheryl

HI GUYS!
WHATS SUPP!!!:)
We're sleeping over at crystal's house! this boy who is next to me says hi. you dont know him! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. alright. JAMES CANNOT BE A CRAPBAG. his gender forbids it. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH, but i guess if dee wants him to its okay. AHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
alright. it is 1:23am and im going to do my history! today was such a hot day. and one acs rocks! YAY go ACSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


<3 SARAH, CRYSTALLLLL, SMELLY KELLY! & the boy next to me!

your guardian angel was stuck in my head too! my favourite line is "i'll be there for you through it all", not the others, cos when i thought about the lyrics "i will never let you fall, i'll stand up with you forever" i realised that well sometimes we have to fall. we gotta fall so that we can learn to stand up again. and we will inevitably fall time and time again, because life is never always peachy.

God never promised that He will never let us fall, cos He does. He lets us fall for a variety of reasons, which all aim to draw us closer to Him. He did promise, however, to never leave us nor forsake us, and that He will be our comfort, our strength, and our solid rock. He never promised we wouldn't fall, but He promised He'd pick us up! in our weakness, He is strong. it is at our most vulnerable moments that we can look up and marvel at how awesomely powerful our God is in comparision. we become strong by leaning on Him, not by standing up on our own.

ironic, isn't it. (:

i've fallen many times, especially this year. but i've learnt from each scrape or bruise, and i can say that i've become stronger. so although those times weren't the best, i'm not looking back with bitterness, but with the knowledge that He carried me through, and that all He did was for a purpose, which is slowly unravelling itself. its quite cool when you abide in Him and see His plan for you unfold before your eyes, and amazing to see His hand guide you in your every step. God will never give us more than we can bear. He is forever faithful. so take heart, all you guys who don't seem to see any light at the end of this dark long gloomy tunnel that you see yourself in. you Will be fine. God says so. (:

i'm so thankful for you guys. i thank God that us being friends was in His plan for my life. you guys are so special, i'm so proud of you, in your own special way. see you soon!

like a new born baby, don't be afraid to crawl. and remember when you walk, sometimes we fall. so fall on Jesus, and live.


- char.

even if saving you sends me to heaven

When I see your smile tears run down my face I can't replace and now that I'm stronger I've figured out how this world turns cold and breaks through my soul and I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all Even if saving you sends me to heaven it's ok. It's ok. It's ok. Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us days grow longer and nights grow shorter I can show you I'll be the one I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven cause you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart Please don't throw that away cause I'm here for you please don't walk away, please tell me you'll stay, stay..use me as you will pull my strings just for a thrill and I know I'll be ok though my skies are turning gray I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever I'll be there for you through it all, even if saving you sends me to heaven..

i love this song..

please kindly pray for 1. me to let God be present in my life again 2. strenght to get by everyday 3.for strength to take in all the hurt and still be happy

guess none of you really know what it's like being in a relationship (unless you evil meevils never told the crapbags bout your boyfriend). but here's dee with some advice! hoorah.

love isn't always a pleasant thing, you get up you get down you get hurt beyond hurt you get crushed you get so frustrated and you even feel like you should just quit on life.. but deep inside you know it's worth it all.. when you're happy it's probably one of the happiest times in your life so that keeps you going. just make sure you pick someone who wont give up on you no matter how much shit happens.

it's like God's love. he probably gets hurt when things with him suck. and really glad when our faith is strong and burning. yet he'll never leave us no matter how far we stray away or how much hurt we might cause him as his child.

so pray you can learn to love like God does. not just with some guy you're with but with each other. then maybe the crapbaggang can be a happy crapbaggang again.

you- be strong. it'll be okay. love you(:

the other you- change back to your old self please. dont let jc life ruin who you were. love you too.

CAN JAMES BE A CRAPBAG??????
















just kidding. just realised he knows most of you. haha. and talks to you all more than i do): he can be my substitute. wow. haha. love you guys.

-i will never let you fall
i'll stand up with you forever
i'll be there for you through it all
even if saving you sends me to heaven


happy seventeeth birthday kelly cowy kwan!

hi guys(:

















a couple more on my blog. CLICK!

so there, dee.

top one reason (i don't need more than one to justify my cause) why muriel is mean to james:

it was in self defence.

much love, mu

10 reasons muriel is mean to james

1. she splattered black sauce on him and told him he needs white sauce to get whiter.
2. she calls him a cockroach
3. she draws on him
4. she says james is obligated as the best friend's boyfriend to buy rabbit sweet for her
5. she calls me knowing i'm on the phone with james when she sees him in school to interrupt our call.
6. she makes james help her in gp after jacking him so much
7. she pokes james with her whole bunch of zig markers which hurt him=(
8. she laughs at james after he gets barbered and is very sad.
9. she accuses james of breaking her little green thinggy when the beads were already falling out and he was trying to help her fix it back. ingrate.
10. she not only is mean to james alone, but has reinforcements. e.g. getting liza to help draw on him

sigh.i guess she just is that way.
muriel ruth manning you better be nicer to him from now on.
but its okay i still love you(:

hello!!
why doesnt anyone update regularly anymore? :(
we should take turns. should i draw out a timetable someday for everybody to follow?
whoever doesnt will have to do a forfeit!! :D
let's see. you can..
1. plan the next crapbag outing
2. update twice the next round
3. down 20!
argh ok i think my brain's not working well enough to come up with better forfeits. any suggestions??
hehe.
block test results were BAD. getting back bio tmr i think. die die i just hope i dont get U! i've got a C A and E so far. i just need an S.
then i'll be GONE CASE.
hahahaha.
school's been ok so far..its just kinda hard sometimes. to live the Life that's truly life.
but anyway. cant wait for fday next week!! i have to rush back to school right after that though..to boil eggs for chem prac!! sighh. would have liked to stay longer:/

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRISON AND WORK:

IN PRISON...you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell.
AT WORK... you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle.

IN PRISON...you get three meals a day.
AT WORK...you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it.

IN PRISON...you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK...you get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON...the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.

IN PRISON...you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK...you get fired for watching TV and playing games.


IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK...you can't even speak to your family.

IN PRISON...all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required.
AT WORK...you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON...you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK...you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON...you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK...they are called managers.

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!!!

HELLO

hey guys!
guess what?
i bumped into nic at vivo today! haha how cool right. and i met liselle also , if you remember her

anyway, i feel so distant from you guys of late. i'm slow, i know, because i'm never around i should have realized this eons ago, but i guess it sunk in properly only recently.

thanks for all the kind emails and words of concern you guys left at my journal, i really genuinely appreciate them ; they surprisingly made me feel stronger and simply put, better, i guess.

i know i hardly put in conspicuous effort to keep in touch and do all that shimmy buddy stuff and sometimes when people take a stab at catching up i sound like a bucket of insoucience; stoic, spasmodic and detached. admittedly i sometimes am passive (sorry), but it is not because i disregard your efforts or our friendship or am pmsing because i am bleeding from my gina but merely because i more often than not am consumed with weariness and would prefer to mope around in my own world of doldrums and listless ennui.

either way, i will try my best to find a balance with everything, and cope with all the muddling issues of life from studies to love to rowing in a boat and be around, if you want me to be, and not be so detached from my friends.

in other news, nationals are coming up in a week so maybe this will take effect from after the 13th of july

sorry i am a sucky friend

much love friends

ps: WELCOME BACK ZAI!

I NEED HELP!!!

I have just eaten a silica gel ball thing by accident! You know those things that keep the food dry? I really hope i don't die! It was in my broccoli and i suddenly bit into something crispy! I know it's that because they were two other of the round things in my dish! HOW! I thought it was salt because my parents use the seawater salt so it kind of is crispy too! Oh My Gosh! Help me! I don't know how many i ate! Just know i love you all very much should something untoward happen to me. I am serious. Really, i'm not joking.

nic

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAR!!


we love you!

smile(:

stupid john littles.

oh heaven help me!

i've caught the shopping bug!!

yesterday alone i bought 3 tops and a pair of pants! coz they were on sale. so it was a waste to not get them you know?

and then today! IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR I TELL YOU! i found my wonderful accessorize bag had dropped from 83 to 58 BUCKS! HOW GOOD A DEAL IS THAT?! so i bought it! haahha. then i had to shove it into my bag (which, incidentally, is zai's crumpler) so that my mom wouldnt find out i just bought yet another bag. hahaha.

I NEED TO SAVE MONEY NOW. i only have 8 bucks to call my own.

i think nana is like a sponge. she only comes here to READ and drop RANDOM TAGS and then she disappears again. no update one! i am sad. NANA YOU SUCKSSSSS.

omg i must tell you how the stupid john little's cheated me!
ok i went there to stock up on nice underwear right.
and i found this WONDERFUL DEAL, in which you can buy 3 UNDERWEARS FOR 6 BUCKS!!! how cheap is that?! it's cheaper than the la mien i ate today lor.
anyway.
THEN THE STUPID CASHIER WENT TO ENTER IN 8 BUCKS OK! then i was like EHHH.
so i had to walk ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE UNDERWEAR SECTION, AND CHECK THAT REALLY IT WAS 6 BUCKS AND MY EYES WERENT DECEIVING ME, THEN I WENT BACK TO THE COUNTER TO ANNOUNCE THE TRUE BLUE PRICE.
ugh.
and then! another one was, they had this misleading tag on the underwear which said 9 dollars, and another sign above the shelf saying buy 2 get 1 free, then my sis was like WAH 9 DOLLARS FOR 3! then without thinking i also say WAH, BUY LAH! but in the end it was 9 DOLLARS EACH! ahahahhaha. but i don't regret buying them coz they're really very nice. hahaha.

ok i'm going to eat purple jelly now. later!

much love, mu!

Hello!

I haven't been here for a while! Gee, i can't believe it's holidays! I'm not feeling the holiday feeling! :( We all have so many things to do! I can't believe i used to complain about work before this year!

HOWEVER, despite all the work, i haven't done ANYTHING yet. I am so dead. What am i going to do? Boo hoo. I haven't studied! I think i may very well flunk this term exam! My first one! And very badly, at that. Especially Math, since i have totally NO clue whatsoever on any topic at all! And i am so not exaggerating. Oh bugger. Who wants to teach me Math? Mrs Tee will be so disappointed! Haha. I miss her.

Anyway, I have been watching this British comedy series called Absolutely Fabulous! and it's really funny! Haha you guys should check it out if you've got time, or if, like me, you will try just about anything to find justification for procrastinating (and eventually not doing at all) my studies.

Rightio guess what? I was just going to type something to Crys and i realised she won't read it because she's at council camp! Poor dear. I saw them working out in school today!

I wish it was holiday time all year round! Then i'll never have to go to school! I can't wait to finish school! I am so excited! Aren't you all? I wonder what i'll be when i grow up! What do you think? My (and Mu's) mbti thing says that we can be psychiatrists or counsellours, or editors, or writers or musicians or composers or teachers (yuck! the kids will drive me crazy)!

hello everybody(:

1 week's gone by so fast and i have to start studying today. was supposed to start yesterday but i was down with flu!

can we meet up soon please. wait for sarah to come back then we can celebrate char and sarae's birthday together.. and do it on a day when everyone can make it for sure..

i've been kinda down lately (yes again). i think my life this year is rather depressing.. was never like that last year. i just feel so weighed down all the time now.. wishing i could just run some place for away.. kept listening to 'always by your side' by sheryl crow and the line 'is there some place far away, some place where all is clear, easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear'.. i think i might need help! what if im falling into a state of depression. i can no longer think straight my mind's just a blur all the time with so many things going on i think its actually nothing cause i cant pinpoint a thing inside..

and hey ming, cheer up alright(: no idea what's wrong but just hope everything will be fine..

anyway, here's a nice song. casting crown's voice of truth..

Oh,what I would do
To have the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, " Do not be afraid"
The voice of truth says, " This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armour
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the stone was just the right size
to take the giant down
And the waves don't seem so high
when I'm standing on top of them looking down
And I'd soar with the wings of eagles
when i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me

i will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth



denise.

i'm kinda pissed with myself now. ugh.
but i shant let that spoil my mood cause i'm going for chuch camp tmr(:
i havent gone in a million years!
okay. just 3 actually. but it seems like a million years. good things pass so quickly and take so long to come. sighh. like our crapbag gatherings!
anyway, enjoy this week! all the best in mugging for exams (:
):
but after exams we must meet!
(:
so long!


<3 cheryl

HELLO HELLO!

holidays are here again!

sales are here again!

happy times are here again!

REJOICE!

well well..my parents are gone to bali for their 25th anniversary(how sweet) till friday!! FREEDOM! hah! freedom is sweet.but i have planned to study everyday too. manage my time! haha!anyway..we have one month...LETS GET TOGETHER..YAY YAY YAY.

and oh ya! thanks for the visit guys and the cake sarah and the photo frame dee.LOVELOVE you guys sooOOooo MUCH!

-nureen

i have concluded that flies are blind.

one just flew straight into my forehead...lucky me.

wow, term 2 is ending in like two days. thats like really fast. things are dying down abit now ive had three consequtive no-homework days! but yes, i think jc life really got into full swing this term. i feel like im failing everything. eh wait. actually i am. almost la. but then again. i guess that kinda happens when you spend twenty minutes studying the night before. HA.

so since this week has been rather laid back and boring i have thus had lots of time to think. and think. about stuff.i guess now i feel quite disappointed over some things and mostly my feelings this term..especially towards my close friends and i guess im still a little disappointed now.

im trying to be discreet here cant you tell? well, as for the crapbags, can i just say that we really need to make more effort guys to get together. we're not in MG anymore so we really have to try to find time to meet up! we're all so busy these days.

SPEAKING OF..! my birthday is coming up! YAY! but ill be in KL! :( with my parents. only. this is not exciting. oh well

anyway, just remember what i said ok abt us meeting up, ill make sure i try my best too! i love you guys

-sarah

roaar.
its 10.25pm and i want to sleep.
but i have to wait for my pw grp member to send me his part to add into the gpp and edit it, then send it again to my grp leader to edit a 2nd time.
yaawn.
i should pity my grp leader more huh.
the computer screen is making me tired! anyway. can't wait to see most of you guys next mon(:
im gonna call my grp member now. its not polite for a gentleman to keep 2 ladies waiting for 2 hours by the computer for him.
byee!!

(:
cheryl

hello!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO NUREEN AND CRYSTAL (: crapbaggang will not be the same without you 2(:

well, so here we are, reaching nearly the end of term 2. time flies. but ive been happy!(: learning how to slack i have a very overdue theory of knowledge essay to do but i cant get down to it after like 3 weeks. and im going off to pre u sem on monday where i'll see kelly and right after i get out im off on a ferry to bintan for my level's overseas trip. ahhhh. then its mugging time for exams..

last night at cell (crystal see there's a cell update here for you) my cell did a chapter on 'your struggle with worship'. its from this book 'the 10 greatest struggles of your life' its a really good book..
anyway, we discussed stuff like what worship is. and everyone has different answers like worship is the way you live your life for God, about praising him.. to me worship its a life where we live for God and discover the many plans he has for us, and carry out all these plans.

yet in our life of worship we get really distracted. the book talked bout idolatry and we decided that even our thoughts can become idolatry. like anything distracting us. and it was so sad debbie cheryl eunice weilin and i all said that homework/school was the main distraction. sometimes we dont even seem to have much choice cause of deadlines..

so just a reminder to all. even when school gets busy and life seems to not go your way, worship God always(: he'll bring us through for he is a faithful and great God(: amen? yes amen. haha.

im in a jolly good mood(: i went over to ac yesterday and i saw sarae mu and char! haha. mu and james get along very well disturbing each other. hahahaha. then i went to the beach! and reminded me of how we went there last year.. lets go again, i missed mu's party there. but have no fear, we shall meet up soon dears! okay bad rhyme i know.

and glad youre feeling better ming and liza(: take care!

have a good week ahead! june hols are here! take breaks alternate days. dont be such a mugger.

dee loves you(:

hi guys.

yeah so being sick really sucked. how come i don't know what happened to ming? huh??
sorry to hear that rockac was boring. oh well. haha.

don't think i can make it this sun. my mum still wants me to stay home and rest i think. i've been bored out of my wits. just getting through each day waiting for the hours to pass is unbearable.

but i was better today, so i went to the botanical gardens for a walk. haha. it's really quite a nice place you know. they had tons and huge fish in the ponds! haha. and ducks and geese too. hehe. alright signing out!

yeah, i miss everyone too. its so sad, i hardly talk to anyone anymore, in comparison with last time. even if we see each other in school everyone's with their class or something. and my breaks suck. i'm really sad about it ):

anyway, i'd like to ask if you guys wanna come for theasthai. its my dep exma performance. this sat, 19th may, 7pm, $10! come if you want to/can make it, okay?

my piece is kind of in a mess now, i apologize. ): sigh.

ok have a nice day everybody!

love,
char.

hiho. the reason for my unusual sudden post, amidst all the homework
is that..
(after sitting on the train back home alone for quite some time, thus allowing me to think)..

you know what i just realised? i think that we blog the most when we are really stressed! isnt that like so true! remember during O's?our blog was like so lively and bright and updated! and like now when we're all so stressed out from JC work and cca and all that crap its like so happening suddenly.
wah, im a genius. isnt this so ironic. i hope we stay stressed. our blog rocks.
rock ac on friday was quite a let down. maybe its cos eliza wasnt performing. hmm. alright. i got to do all that homework crap la. so many tests next week and all the files are due next week too. HOWLEH.
i hope everyone stays healthy and happy. drink lots of water guys! ill see you soon! winkwink. :)

ming the great

my busy week.

because ranting makes me feel oh so much better, and because it's possible you'll feel free in comparison to me, here is the story of my life, from tuesday onwards.

tues 8 may- syf. report at 9. singsingsing. back to school. singsingsing. finished choir at 7.40. home. practice piano. read geog. fell asleep at table. woke up awhile later and went to sleep.
wed 9 may- choir. ended 6+pm. study math! iron uniform.

friday 18 may-passion ac!!!

unfixed: lit essay poem test. lit essay test on Great Expectations.
memorize entire concert repertoire by sat 6 may.
5 people's bday presents. owe 3 pple bday presents! (Die!)
PLUS, HEROES EPISODE 21 IS OUT!!! SO EXCITING! I WANT TO KNOW, WHY PETER PETRALLI HAS A SCAR ON HIS FACE IF HE CAN HEAL!
is it
a)an emotional scar
b)a deficiency
c)HE'S LOSING HIS POWERS?!
anyway i think it's so sad. his face was so nice as it was. I LIKE PETER!!! he's cool. so is isaac mendez. but i don't like nikki. i think she's quite scary.

anyway, actually i lied. ahhaha. i just needed a place to write this all down. ahhahaha. lest i forget.

AND TODAY, WHILE WALKING TO CHOIR WITH CRYSTAL AND CHEN ZHONG (choir friend), I WALKED STRAIGHT INTO A PUDDLE OF WATER AND THEN TRIPPED OVER MY OWN FOOT.

such a sad case, really.

however, i am pleased to say that i'm still feeling quite happy and i manage to find time to do qt everyday!(O: also, i'm not falling sick because i eat lots of vitamin c and i run away from everybody who is sneezing. speaking of vitamin c, nicole keeps eating up all the choir vitamin c! she eats 3 times more than anyone else ok! hahaha. talk about vitamin c overdose. but the real overdose comes in the form of this irritating twat who i shall cease to complain about because i have resolved to exercise patience and love. ha! SO THERE, CRYSTAL AND NICOLE. i am trying to be nice.

much love, YOU KNOW WHO!(O:

dear Father, please lay Your healing hands on eliza and ming, and let them get well soon. they are feeling so unwell, and so bogged down by their illnesses. in Your word it says that by Your stripes we are healed, and that You will restore health to us and heal us of our wounds. and we claim those promises for eliza and ming! Father don't allow the devil to gain a foothold and let this sickness cause them to waver emotionally. please protect them, and shower them with Your love, so that they might always know You are there for them and are capable of all things. we pray that they may also come to You individually and trust in You, and find their rest in You alone. please be their shelter, comfort and refuge. let them find healing in Your presence, and seek You and Your word daily. although they may worry about different things, like rockac or their homework, we know that You are Jehovah Jireh, God our provider, and You will see them through. You will make things alright, You will finish what You have started, because You are the author and perfector of our faith. we trust in You and lift them up into Your hands. in Jesus' lovely name, amen!


char, on behalf of the crapbags
(:

[YAY i got into blogger!!] *victory dance*
hello crapbags!!!
i havent posted here for the longest time. how's everyone doing so far??
im fine in hc..but i miss you guys LOTS:/ i cant find anyone i can really connect to in class..i guess it takes time..but i cant really imagine sharing my problems and stuff with any of them. oh well.
but i really thank God i still have you guys(:
i think not having close friends in a non-christian school makes you feel lonely sometimes ): even when you appear to be chatting happily in a group about how bio test is finally over or how nice the weather is that day, you still feel isolated inside.
):
i miss mg.
but then again, i shouldnt complain cause my class IS a nice class! and i thank God so much for putting me in my class(: i always took it for granted until i was talking to an mg senior that day who's in hc and she said that her class was quite separated..and that i'm fortunate to have such a united class cause not many classes are like that, especially after 2nd intake. there was only one newcomer in my class but she was in hc for 1st 3 months so she fit in quite well.
my class won the inter-ct track and field championship cause we got the most number of points! not because we can run or anything but because we all participated in like at least 2 events each. all the girls signed up for 100m sprint! and there was one race where all 8 lanes were occupied by my class people. hahaa.
i cant wait for june hols(:
its so fast half a year has gone by already..argh. do we grow up at an exponential rate?
anyway, all the best for rockac eliza!! and how were the ac council election results?
okay i gtg now..study for bio spa and try to understand monopolies:/
take care guys!!!!
love
cheryl

boo!

hello all, haha, let me appear again after so long. Haven't updated in the longest time... sch is justTIRING, and i'm sure u all understand what i mean by that. Plus, SYF is coming, on tue, for the past weeks, every morning's been singing and singing for me... wah... sometimes i'm like half asleep and half singing =p council elections is tmr.. and i just can't wait for it to be over.

dee... haha, i like your school's auditoriium! it's so nice. and i only watched the last part of the concert =( good singing though! u were the only one that i felt was worth the watch =) hahaha, and yes i'm glad u didn't get into council after finding out about the reuslts, this is all part of God's plan. and to Tessa, CONGRATULATIONS! i'm sure u'll thrive there, continue shining for God yes?

anyway, ahahah, did i tell u, my class formed a band and auditioned for rock ac, but we were so bad we didn't get in, but it was really fun lah! congrats to eliza for getting in! are u all gonna support her? my class is going, so dunno if i'll be sitting with them, so see how!

hahA, dee rmbr last year when i flipped through your diary and saw jame's birthday was on my birthday too.. i didn't know him yet, but u were telling me about how u guys might get together, and woah, look at u guys now! =) hahaha.

alright, i better go do qt now. tmr gotta be in sch by 625, so better not slp too late. may u all have a blessed week ahead! =)

love crys

my goodness! i tried getting into blogger the entire week trying and trying and trying.. THE USERNAME HAS CHANGED FOR THOSE WHO'D LIKE TO BLOG! its now crapbaggang not crapbag- how come i didnt know that. password remains the same. haha.

well anyway!

first and foremost, THANKS EVERYONE WHO CAME DOWN TO SUPPORT ME AT THE CONCERT(: was great seeing all of you again. and for some strange reason cheryl was wearing mg school u aahahahahahhahaha. so cute. haha. fun times..

anyway guess what! im so glad the concert's over. so hectic planning it and performing in it. may's a crazy month for me got pre u sem breifing next sat all day where i'll see kelly(: then mothers day on sunday. following week fri and sat i have some nonsense science projects in school for the whole level..

DID YOU KNOW: james and crys have the same birthday. hahaha. such a busy month! so many dearclosefriends birthdays in that week. mark bala nureen crystal james. i will make myself free to do stuff for each one so dont worry crys and nu! haha.

any ideas on what to get james? put your thinking caps on! im sure crapbags never fail to come up with the sweetest whackiest ideas.

ohoh guess what again! I DIDNT GET TO COUNCIL. and i think im really really happy. and just like to say that dont forget God answers prayers cause i prayed so hard i will have more time and so im actually really glad i didnt get in cause everything's driving me mad. but its quite duh that ib's get into council by votes system's quite messed up cause alot of unknown people and errrrrrrr_____ (fill in your own adjective) people get in. oh well..
but tessa got in! congrats dear(: make sure council's good k haha.

i miss you guys! catch up soon yep(:

deeeeeeeeeeeeeener.

hello friends!

haha, right now i'm taking muriel's place by not going to school!
haha. no la, i just really needed a break from school. actually just a break from everything, and i've been getting really bad headaches, and there's PE today, and i wouldn't be able to skip it if i went to school, so i wanted to stay home

some well needed rest i'm about to get. i still awoke at 6 am though, had to msg pple about school and stuff, so sigh. i'm still really tired.
i know surely some of you are more tired than me considering i always sleep so early anyway, but seriously, you probably do not have a friggin mother who comes and bug you NON-STOP about not pushing a stupid rack into the room, and then messaging you to tell you AGAIN, and then start screaming AGAIN, and telling you why you can't be like your friggin twin sister. why she has to always yell at you and not the sister. and how your attitudes so bad, and how you'd never survive in the working world, and how her "very good attitude" has got her where she is today. yeah sure. her very good attitude also got her retrenched during the recession. whatever man.
i tell you i was so angry yesterday, i slammed my plastic spectacle case on the floor and smashed it into a million pieces. hahah. well not so drastic la. but many small pieces.

haha. ok anyway, enough of all my angst. seriously. no matter how hard i try, she just comes and pushed me right off the edge. so whatever man.

why, hello everyone!
okay im like supposed to be studying cos there's econs test tmr but whatever. i have a feeling that next week is going to be one really stressful week for me. want to know why?
#1: COUNCIL CAMPAIGNS START TMR! vote for me. yes yes VOTE VOTE.
#2: I have TWO tests next week on subjects i have very little clue about.. i.e SEA hist and econs
#3: MAY begins in two days time. AH.

i seriously cant believe its may. like the whole of april would have passed by without me hearing anything at all. this shucks. sigh. grr. whatver.
well, on the PLUS SIDE! i miss single period PE this week!!!!! WHOOHOO ahhahaha YAY

and can i please say, with much much innocence, MING. i did not know i wasnt supposed to tell her that she was a gangster in primary school. ahhaa but she already knew it cos everyone calls her that now. and they didnt hear it from me. so.. im SORRY. truly sorry.

which brings me to another point. do you get really bad days sometimes when you just get really really pissed off at some people? yes. i've had close to ten bad days this month. isnt that interesting.

yes well life is interesting. we all live in a yellow submarine.
honey stars any one?

SARAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Hello people!

Guess what? There are only like 54 $17 seats left for the choir concert. SO if you guys want to come, HURRY UP! I need to get the total number so that i can submit it all together so that you guys can sit together! ASAP :)

Anyway, mu, i haven't seen you forever! Come back already! Wow. So many of the crapbags are running for council! I can't wait to vote! I'm so excited. Oh yeah. I HATE my form teacher. She's so annoying. She is like the ac version of Mrs Chen Seok Hwa, for those of you who know. Ugh. Talks and looks like her. I think she's shorter though. Oh man. I just realised i have her weekend assignment to do. Sigh. I miss being so free with nothing to do. Alright, on to something else.

Who wants to watch a movie? I SOOOO can't remember the last time i watched one. I think it might have been last year! The Devil Wears Prada i think. Ok maybe not that long ago. But still. Oh, Meryl Streep rocks by the way. I don't mind watching Hog Wild. it looks quite funny. Or anything else light and funny. Don't really feel like watching a drama, unless, of course, Meryl Streep is in it! haha But actually i'm a sucker for tearjerkers. Not all though. Some are really cheesy. Ok shut up already nicole. Oh my goodness, i'm so weird i talk to myself. Yeah, whatever.

Till next time,
Toodle-oo!
nic

another sad post-of-sorts

hello friends!

haha. i find it quite entertaining to say that. just imagine me. heehee. wahahahha.
anyway, so how's school? it's been getting better for me. i'm pleased to say all the people in my class are quite nice, even though i don't speak to them much. the noisy ones already think i'm quiet i think. let's just keep it that way. haha. alot of interesting things always happen in my class. (: so it's quite fun la. but it could always be more fun!

i've just finished doing up my GPP for PW. I HATE STUPID PW! HATE IT!
and i don't understand the theory of plate tectonics either muriel! i didn't go for make up lectures cos nobody was going with me, so i have 4 lectures to catch up on before the test in 2 weeks, when i also have an econs test, and ROCK AC to do! sigh. and just before this week i thought my workload was actually quite slack. I WANT TO SLEEP. zzzz. and i so have not been studying like the nerd/mugger i have supposedly misled the world to think i am. haha. i'm so deceptive eh? (:

alrighty. have fun in school! have a break. have a kitkat!(: chomp!

hello friends(O:

hello!
i am the only crapbag, i believe, to not complain about school BECAUSE

i havent been in school!

hahah i rock. last week i went on monday then i didnt go on tuesday wednesday thursday friday and saturday (choir). because i had fever and a cold.

this week, i thought i recovered, so i went to school on monday. then on tuesday, i awoke, and my temperature was an amazing 38.5 degrees! AHAHHA. apparently i have an infection and something is wrong with my tonsil. PLUS A FLU! and on tues right, i got out of bed, and walked to the living room, then my living room started revolving around me, and then it turned white, and the next thing i knew i was leaning against the wall and i felt like puking. hahaha. so i didnt go to school. GRINS.

actually i feel quite worried. everyone is so hardworking and i don't even know the theory of plate tectonics properly. unlike eliza. liza is such a nerd, everytime i see her in the void deck she's studying. so is char!! horrors. i hope i dun get retained.

anyway, i have words of comfort for all the stressed people.
JC WONT LAST VERY LONG. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, A'S WILL BE OVER, AND WE CAN GO ON A HOLIDAY TOGETHER!!(O: yay.
for now, i pray that God will sustain you guys and you'll find joy serving him by being good students. i love you all!

lastly, here is the trivia for the day:
JESSICA SIMPSON SANG PART OF YOUR WORLD (from little mermaid) AND IT IS ACTUALLY NICE. i am in shock!

much love, mu(O:

hello peoplez
i finally figured out how to log in using the stupid gmail thing

i agree with you dee.. jc life is really depressing .. things are better this week but last week was really bad. i think i cried consecutively for 5 days. WHAT A FEAT. i've never done that before. i was so sick of everything - i was emotionally, physically and mentally spent. I'd never felt so exhausted in my life and i felt like killing myself but clearly my state of mind was not that bad yet. I'm still exhausted and will probably be stuck in this predicament for a very, very long time.

ok i know that was depressing to read
and i can't tell if i'm really making sense because i am too lazy and tired to figure that out

on a brighter note, let me tell you what sarah did
i told her this girl in her class used to be my classmate in primary school and i heard she stole stuff and guess what sarah did? she so conveniently conveyed the message to her! WHO THE HELL DOES THAT. and sarah was like huh? what's wrong? why can't i tell her? well sarah it is common sense to keep such stuff to yourself to avoid corroding relationships between people. seriously, that was just a really stupid thing to do.

that's not quite bright but at least it demonstrates sarah's lack of common sense which is a happier thing to read about

but it's alright sarah i still love you

guess what i can't still tell if im making sense or not! my sense of punctuation and grammar and every other linguistic skill i have learnt in the past 17 years have gone down the drain. this unfortunately comes with lack of sleep. ok, bye guys!


ming. she's great, still

hey everyone.

i'm sorry this is gonna be a depressing not so happyyayimblogginginthecrapbagblog post. i'm just. dying out from everything):

i'm just in a horrid mood now and i had nowhere else to go to or noone else to turn to and i just cant take it anymore):

ever felt like that? it's the worst feeling you can ever get. you hurt you cry you feel like youre the most useless piece of shit in the whole world who cant please anybody. i've completely lost my goal in life. i just wish i could run away.

i'm sorry i cant be a child of God, my walk is practically non existent now.
i'm sorry i cant be the daughter my parents dream of having when i cant even be nice to my parents and just get annoyed at everything they say. never have time to spend wtih the family and can never make time to spend with the family.
i'm sorry i cant be the sister a brother would want when all i do is argue.
i'm sorry i cant be the perfect girlfriend, forever too busy to find time to spend together. i'm sorry you had to meet me and pick me when there are a million other girls to pick from who have the time. i'm sorry i cant even be happy like i used to be.

i'm sorry i cant be the friend you want me to be. i'm sorry my life is just a total mess and i have no time for anyone. when was the last time i had a good talk with either of you. i'd say. last year.

i'm sorry for everything.

i think i need help):

i need a break. but i cant take a break. thats the best part of it all...

are you guys burnt out. i miss the company. everything just sucks now. maybe its just im in a bad mood now but i havent felt so horrid in a long long time):

ah i'll just be quiet.

please delete this post soon for me, someone.

dee.

haha, you know what i just realised, after reading nic's entry about GRACE KELLY..
THAT our names are lined up in alphabetical order! actually ah, i was just wondering why my name was not FIRST. tsk. i should have been called ASARAH
haha life would be cool. anyway, dont you think we're so diplomatic. we should be like diplomats or sth or like presidents

okay so im actually just updating cos i dont want to write my essay. school has really been stressing me out recently. alot of things to do and people to avoid etc.. and the results are supposed to come out like within these few weeks and nothing has been said yet so yes, im stressing.
its like an electric shock whenever someone calls me on my phone. AH. oh btw, ha. they announced that the AC hockey team beat CJ yesterday. poor nureen. they should have let you play la! dont worry, im sure you will win next year. or sth.

haha okay i should write my hist thing now. im groaning.. if you want to know. just imagine it.. imagine me. :) hhaaaaa. okay now im sighing.
