i felt so gloomy this morning. i mean i came home late and didnt have enough sleep and ALSO because that the japanese students were going home today.
arranged with blaise, kean thong and benjamin to meet earlier coz i was bored and wanted to kill time. so we went to benji's house again to play xbox. hahahha. it's pretty okay unless they play the ninja game which i totally hate coz of the way they kill off the characters. BLEAHS.
had dinner at some mongolian buffet style restaurant at park mall. pretty okay but i thought their service was pretty poor. the waiter was really rude, i felt so annoyed at him but i wasnt going to let him ruin my mood so just tried to ignore it.
the food wasnt too bad but some of it wasn't labelled and i was kinda apprehensive on trying them. thankfully takashi offered to share with me. hahaha. yays!! i ended up eating the pink-syrupy dessert coz i totally loved its sweet taste. hehehe. sorry takashi!!
we were all so sad to leave. coz they had to go for the night safari show so me, blaise, benji and kean thong went to x zone and played a little while before heading off to my house. that's when we made the mad rush to create a mini-photo album for takashi and chizuru. it would have been more successful if we had it developed properly. lols. it looks like crap but it was the effort that counted. not to mention the messages and emails and house addresses we left for them.
lols. we went totally ballistic at the airport, trying to fill it up while one of us kept a look-out to prevent the japanese students from seeing what we doing and coming over. hahaha. in the end, we presented the books to them.
we took loads of pictures and were practically moping around except kean thong, blaise and benji who were acting macho. i tried not to cry when chizuru hugged me as she cried. but when natsumi came up to me and started crying, i broke down too. the worst was when takashi shedded tears coz then i totally broke down then. we had formed a friendship but it was mutual so this really made me cry coz i was unable to express my feelings in words.
blaise's parents picked us up and sent us home after that. i was still crying even then. cried even more until i fell asleep. i really miss them. zutto issho-ni itai.
what we could have been, 2:54 pm.
okae. today was Outram's speech day cum centennial anniversary dinner. la la la. and i, unfortunately or fortunately, got involved in both.
this is of some of the japanese students plus me and mevalia. sadly i dont know the girl in the vest in the back row. i kinda just asked her to join the photo since it was awkward for her to sit down while we were all taking pictures. hehhee. but it's okae. she looks nice anyway.
pretty busy running up and down since i was put in charge of talking to the VIP tables when we were suppose to help promote the centennial souvenirs. kinda difficult since the people who sat there were also giving me a difficult time. well, some of them were, the rest where practically table-hopping which i was doing half the time as well. hahahaha.
i've got loads more pictures but i wont put them up on my blog all at once since i dont know how to. hahahhaa. where's my computer expert when i need her ??? lols.
i'm kinda sad coz tonight will be the last time i will spend with the japanese students aside from tomorrow's farewell dinner. i dont want them to leave. and i think they dont want to leave us either. i can see it in some of their faces. too bad their stay is so short. i wish we had more time.
what we could have been, 2:56 pm.
today woke up this lewd phonecall. some perverted @$$ called my number and pretended to be one of my best friends. it was so gross and coz i woke up when i heard the call, i was pretty blur and didnt really pay attention to the conversation until he got bolder. that's when he pissed me off. i hung up but later called allegedly claimed friend but it wasnt him. great, i got a freako-pervert who knows my number.
called blaise to confirm he was coming to my house. that was about 7-8 plus? yeahh. anyways, we played xbox games until the rest came and i let them take over since it was no point to continue playing against the pros. hahahhaa.
went to wild wild wet where me, takashi, robin and chizuru had a BLAST !!! i mean, we splashed around in the kiddie area. rode a stupid ride which got us sunburns. 2 rides that practically defied gravity and left my throat hurting from screaming and laughing. a dark water slide and a slow water slide. not to mention the river ride and the tsunami wave thingy. whooooos. it was totally fun. we held on to each others' tubes and road the waves out. or at least the others held on while i just lazed in my tube before robin pushed me off. I'LL GET MY REVENGE !!
sent the japanese buddies back to hotel where we promised to visit them later. which we actually did. i nearly died of deprivation of sleep. hahha. we were shooed out of takashi's room 10 minutes later coz they had some late-night practice for tomorrow's speech day performance. well, good luck to them. we all looked equally tired. especially the few who did a lot running and screaming earlier that day. hahhaa.
what we could have been, 2:04 pm.
woke up pretty early today coz we needed to report to school by 8. went to the coffeeshop near my parents' office for breakfast before we, meaning me & chizuru(my homestay buddy), headed for school. we weren't late but we weren't the first ones there either. went to sit next to Blaise and Benji. apparently they came very early. mad people. i couldnt even wake up on time.
when we got to sentosa, we split into our groups. my group consisted of Kean Thong, Benji, Chizuru, Blaise, Takashi and myself. we were to do a mini amazing race, sentosa-style. had to find the clue which was hidden with one of the 'operations manager'. we were stuck on the first one when i nearly had a heart attack upon finding the guy who held the next clue. arghx!! scared me out of the next 5 years of my life!!
after we finished, we went to the historical musuem. Blaise tried to scare me when we went into the dark parts of the musuem but was very unsuccessful as he ended up scaring Chizuru because i was nearer the back of the group with Takashi and Benji while Robin and Kean Thong and Chizuru were in front. ahhaha. Blaise did scare Lester though. He suddenly grabbed his wrist while they were walking. hahahaha.
we went to a ride before heading to the Aquarium. pretty sweet i guess. i mean, i love sharks and some types of marine animals. i used to want to study marine biology but not sure about it now.
later went to climb this huge tower like thingy where it was super windy. all of us practically collasped and started relaxing, either just sitting around or talking. it was very comfortable. went to Blaise's house where we played O2 jam or his ps2 or psp. hahahha. later went out dinner with Blaise, Chizuru and Benji at Toa Payoh before going to Benji's house. we played xbox there, although his ninja game is totally gruesome and icky.
came home late but i was pretty happy coz i really enjoyed myself. wooots.
what we could have been, 2:15 pm.

today was the day that the japanese students would be coming to our school and i was super nervous then. i mean, i dont even know how they would react to us. not to mention that we didnt know japanese and they didnt know that much english or at least they didnt know how to phrase their sentences. yuppps.
me, chris, blaise and benji sat together for the greeting coz we didnt know that many people and we already knew each other from the japanese meetings, and not to mention benji is in student council with me and chris is in my art class while blaise was an ally in The Cause. haahha.
my buddy's name is Nakamura Chizuru. if i'm not wrong, Chizuru means 'a thousand cranes'. how kawaii is that ? anyways, we had a tour of school which is totally mad coz it's totally hot. could have practically died in the uncomfortable heat. -.-'''
we did scrapbook art and batik art later in the day. pretty fun i guess. was introduced to some of the other japanese students like Takashi, Kean Thong's buddy, and Natsumi and Kana. they're totally adorable!!! lols.
cant wait for tomorrow coz that's when we go to sentosa. =)

okae so maybe i dont really keep track of the matches coz debs had to excitedly inform me of this match between germany and sweden. and me, being a fanatical fanatic, i jumped at the chance to see germany play again. but naturally, i couldnt wake up to watch the first ten or so minutes in which Germany managed to score two goals.
BOROWSKI, I LOVE YOU !!!hahhaha. yupps. i've fallen head over heels for one particular blonde german player, number 18, Tim Borowski. lols. well, at least that meant that debbie has a friend who whole-heartedly supports germany. hahaha. watched the 3rd goal they scored. absolutely brilliant. Mirasove Klose, you are a sheer genius. wonderful player and one of my idols in soccer. woooooots !!
oh man, just as the match was getting boring. this freako got onto the pitch, stripped off his shirt and started waving it around as he approached the players. course, the referee blew the whistle to stop the match as security ran to apprehend the apparent pyscho. he's probably going to get loads of attention in the custody of the German police.
i was eating a packet of potato chips, the jac&jills one that offered a 'free' mini-keychain of jersey shirts which sported country names as well as their jersey design and all. i kept pushing the kaychain to the bottom of the packet coz i wanted to eat finish the crisps before seeing which country i got. i got loads of serbia-croatia and lots of other unheard or small countries. no offense to them. so i pull it out and what did i get ?
A GERMANY JERSEY KEYCHAIN !!! whoooooooooooooooooooo !!! i mean, i got a korea, a japan one and even a france one but Germany ? this is my first one. ahahahah. after such a long time. thank you thank you thank you for the odds being for me this once. ^^
Grrrrrrrrrrrr. that was another goal that Germany was disallowed AGAIN!! but i have to admit 5 goals would have been better than the three they have now. wheeeeeeeeeeee. what a good game. Germany 3 Sweden 2. yayayayayayayayayay !!!
I LOVE GERMANY !!!!
what we could have been, 7:41 pm.
today was so dull. i hate the monotonous life of school. except i have to admit this morning was kinda eventful and i DONT REGRET IT A SINGLE BIT. and i wont ever apologise. i mean, after all, what died, crawled up his ass and made him king? he has NO RIGHT to say anything as did she.
i totally ignored the two buggers the whole day. especially the one from my class. i was practically glowing from the compliments the others gave me though. =)) teehee. anyways. like i said, it was pretty much otherwise, boring. hais. whatever.
talked to mevalia during mt. i feel so bad i didnt come to school on monday and left her totally alone. i kinda pity xue er too. i mean me & mevalia have been in this class last year too and we really bonded so this year, she's alone coz despite our good intentions of trying to include her are pretty much useless.
wasnt feeling too well after school so i went home and took a nice long nap. after that i did homework which was totally blah except for the fact that i listened to some music which inspired me to write a short story. wooots. readers, go to our hq to read it!! ^^

i was so nervous this morning. after all, i dont really change my hairstyle so often and without any reason as well. anyways. when i get to school, the first person i talk to doesnt even notice my hairstyle. -.-'' so much for getting a haircut.
of course. the 2nd person noticed. and his comment was 'you look different!!' erm. DUH. i look different, isnt that kinda obvious? lols. naturally, there were some idiots who badmouthed my change of hairstyle but who cares about them ? i mean, it's totally immature. as if i'm interested in sitting and giggling/ogling at the latest guy the girls deem a hottie. uh~huh.
totally boring day. my pal was feeling too well so there was no smsing during class. hais. had to rush to complete our art project. to be honest, i wasnt too confident of completing it on time but thankfully we finished it around 3.40. -phew-
what we could have been, 1:17 pm.
oh man, this is possibly one of the worst days to be absent. i mean, i woke up around 4 with an urge rinse out my mouth coz it was just so dry. turns out that that the liquid that was drying in my mouth was blood. ugh, gross me out.
so anyways, that was enough evidence for me to stay home for the day. plus the fact that i'm running a fever. even in the coldest room, i still feel extremely hot. bleahs.
went to the doctor's. sadly, i only got one day mc. i was hoping for two days. hahah. but never mind, i cant afford to miss school. or at least my parents think so.
later went to parkway for lunch. finally broke my boycott of italian food and ate lasagne. ahhaha. i couldnt stand not eating one of my fave food. then went to get my hair cut. yeah, a haircut. after all this while of staying away from the hairdresser, i went to cut my hair. aaaaaaaahhhh !! it looks kinda weird. or nice. either way. hahaha. my brother says i look like the evil girl in sky high. well, i didnt know whether to take it as a compliment or not. went to buy hairclips coz i didnt want to tie my hair. not that i know how to tie layered hair either. lols.
well, i gotta wait till my parents come back to see their reactions (they didnt know i went to get my hair cut) and tomorrow for my school friends to see it. and sunday for debbie and kat to see it. haahhaa. week full of reactions.
oh yeah, by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY !!!
what we could have been, 7:24 am.
i was so stoned this morning. actually i thought we were late for church coz my mom said it was 8-45. but in the end, it wasn't even 8.20 so we managed to get ready by 9.30 after almost a month away from church. =X
lesson was really boring. i mean there were some interesting bits here and there but it's almost like my phsyics lessons in school. BORING. sorry to say that.
later went to novena square(?). went to eat fish and co. even though i didnt have much to eat there. wanted to eat the chinese place there. totally delish. kept talking with debs. i mean, it's been almost two weeks since we last seen each other. likewise with my sis and kat. hahha. they're of the same age until tomorrow when kathy turns 13.
we begged the parents to have ice-cream. so we bought 3 tubs of ben&jerry's ice-cream. woooots. we got fossil fuel, phish food and marsha marsha marshmallow. yummies. i can practically taste it again. ^^
stayed at the debbie's place until very late. we went to the playground, played upstairs in their room, went swimming, watched tv, had dinner, had more ice-cream and birthday cake. whooooo. now that's what i call a good 'birthday party'. raina, jon and rach came over for dinner too. we were ever so pleased coz we seldom get together as 'the gang' nowadays.
what we could have been, 1:08 pm.

friday's kinda boring. i mean, it's like there's nothing to do. my subjects are what i like to call 'block' schedules. i have two periods of four different subjects. so there's nothing interesting to do. had chinese, math then english and finally social studies. and again, i have bio after school too. so it was proving to be a really really looooong and boring day.
was hoping he noticed my shoes but he wasnt around to show it off. XD i mean, after all the gushing i did, i couldnt find him to show off my new 'France' converse shoes. of course, i would have gotten germany but a fellow classmate has it and if i got it, oooh boy, would there be a lot of unhappiness and unnecessary gossip. so yeah.
after my bio and jimmy's chinese test, we went to ps to eat lunch. went to kfc again. -.-''' i think if we did this once a week, kfc is totally gonna profit from us. hahaha. after that went to the bookshop to see some magazines. lols. a caution to all guys, when a girl asks you to read part of a girl-ish mag, use another magazine to hide the cover or you'll get quite a few disgusted/dirty looks coming your way.
oh yeah, happy birthday valerie!! you're finally a teenager. how does it feel ? XD

woowies. yesterday's national day celebrations cum awards-giving ceremony was kinda sucky. it was actually kinda BLAAH. i mean, the show was about ... let's see ... thirty minutes or so? the parade probably took longer. hahah. poor poor guys and gals who were standing or sitting in the sun in the parade square.
had to come early coz prize-winners had to report at 7. first time i came to school so early. i mean, my gosh. the place is totally dark and deserted. ugh. thank goodness damien and jiantao were there so i waited with them while they did their english homework which was due that day. -rolls eyes- who gives homework due on the eve of national day??
of course, naturally, a total idiot had to ruin the soon-to-be enjoyable morning by dissing my shoes. i mean, like i know it's the wrong colour and i was actually trying to get help from my friends and you come over to DISS MY SHOES ?!?! of all the nerve of that guy. how your girlfriend stands you is beyond my knowing. either that or she's super stupid. at least everyone else thought it was better to help out by finding someone to temporarily exchange shoes so that i could go on-stage.
thank goodness my savior appeared on cue. hhahaha. thanks so much for lending me your shoes, dahh~ling. -mwahs- ahahah. you looked so sexy in my shoes. XD i mean it literally. hahah. although i have to admit your shoes are totally plain though. ALL-WHITE. lols. i owe you one for this. thanks so much. =))
laterr went out for lunch with lydia at city hall. we ate at some american version of chinese take-out. i felt it was more like japanese food. yeah-ha. i totally loved it though. i must buy it back for dinner one night. i mean, it's totally DE~LISH. korkor, we must go there to eat one day. =)
met up with jimmy and cheng long later that evening. we were going to watch the fireworks at the esplanade with weiqing and sihui as well. cheng long and i kept arguing and joking. hahaha. it's totally funny and duh, annoying. later me & cheng long got split up from the rest of them so we walked around and sat on the 'stages' where the butterflymen were previously dancing on before we were shooed off by security. lols. it was kinda nice but it only lasted for fifteen minutes for which we waited for more than an hour. hais. quite a waste.
me and cheng long ran off to marina square after that. went to inspect the tamiya .. er ... convention? lols. it was totally kewl. i mean all those little models of tanks and ships. we planned to go for a late-night snack when the others found us later. we wanted to go bowling but it was totally crowded so we went to ps to eat at kfc before leaving. i was kinda angry with jimmy but later i forgave him coz i knew i couldnt stay angry with him. i mean, it's so easy to forgive your close friends. yuupps. anyways, i had a pretty good time overall. wish it could have been better though.
maybe one day i would go with youu to watch the fireworks. but for now, i'll wait for the day till you tell me you love me.
what we could have been, 2:57 pm.
