Right. It's been years since I last wrote here.

Hahaha. This is a weird birthday cuzz it's rare that I don't celebrate it with Melissa Chanz. I remember we had a cake once which had a chicken and a snake on it. HAHA. Anyway, thank you all for your wishes, you certainly made my day. Hehe.

On 18th April I met the 4C clique and they got me a cake and we camwhored the entire time on Angeline's mac while we were trying to study. We met at Bugis (I really really really really hate bugis by the way bugis stinks) Hahaha and yeah thank you all babezzz :) :) And to LeeYongEn and LeeSiMin Melsa Chan and Mild Red and Mummy and everyone out there muackzzz. Hahahaha

It just occured to me that I had a really large ego to think that whatever I use IS the best.
Take for example, I used to use a Motorola Razr phone and I thought that it was the best phone on earth and it's better than htc iphone blackberry combined together. HAHA. It died on me 2 months after I got it but I still thought it was the best. Omg what's wrong with me.

Speech Day was more painful and boring than I imagined it to be. But seeing the people was v v v awesome :)

We were supposed to at 730 (omg right earlier than actual school day) but I was a little little bit late but it didn't make any difference cause when I reached they were just starting the rehearsals. (Anyway,who rehearses a ceremony like 100000 times?) And we all had to wear our full attire- blazers in the blazing hot sun (Whoohoo sounds tricky)

The speech made by the guest of honour is the most boring thing I ever heard in my entire life I'd rather watch my fingernails grow, which I did lah. There was really nothing else to turn to. Hahaha received our awards, felt the pek-cek-ness coming all over again while I tried to push it away. It didn't feel as bad as day one. HAHA

Camwhored throughout the day and headed to pp to eat cuz Rachel the pig claims she is dying from hunger and the town area is tooooo far away. Hahaha

School is pretty much still the same same, still pretty interesting and funny here and there. Haha

And oh, Raffles track is really awesome no? They won both guys and girls champions! Whoohoo.
I have no mood to continue typing. So bye.

Tomorrow's speech day and just in time I got my blazer and skirt and tie. Court shoes? Nvm LAH Hahaha

Went to crash VJC on the April Fools day and almost joined them for PE but was just clever enough not to.  Stayed back to watch the match instead and though VJ won CJ 8 nil, I didn't get to see a single goal cuz everytime I turn away, they scored. Hahaha
But but but it was great to see Serene Aloe Rach Nasuha (eyeing her soccer bf) and many many many many more. Hahaha Didn't geta see Bryan ZiFeng Grace though :( :(

Had Good Friday service on erm, Good Friday haha and met YongEn to catch a movie. Haha

School is more or less the same, and finally had a hth talk with Serene today and half with Jiale hahaha its been a realllly long time since I could blabber out crap. Haha

First and foremost,

Congratzz to the Raffles X Country team they're really the most awesome and pro team evaa both guys and girl won champions for A DIV whoohoo Hahaha. Mok mok mok XinQi Berenice Zarah Nat Jo and da guyzz team you all are damn pro!!! Hahaha

I didn't do very well personally but thank God at least I ran the race and did not faint or die. In retrospect I shouldave ran faster and better like what Kun once said "Good run, lousy runner."

Hmmm haven't posted in a while. Hahaha schoool is preedy much still quite fun with fun classmates and noisy ones (unlike me) HAHA

Message to myself
Hihi though I'm stillll super duper pissed at the annoying systemof awarding students in the speech day, still I've come to realise that a 'silver' or a 'gold' or even 'gold with honours' is NOT a measure of how well you do or what you really deserve because no one except yourself will know how hard you worked your ass of to attain wtv results you want and though you might see a 'silver' on your speech day letter, don't let your heart sink to your feet and think 'wts is wrong w then' cause it doesn't matter what colour your o level plague is and alright I'm like making a big fuss out of nothing initially cause I really really really thought I deserved more than a silver award and I felt cheated that if I knew that no matter how hard I worked from the beginning and the best award i could possibly get is only a 'silver' I'd have no mood/motivation to attain the perfect score at all so at the end of the day, really ignorance is bliss. I dsa-ed into the school thinking that if I could even get a 10 for o levels I'll be the happiest girl ALIVE but yeah who would have thought right. haha oh and don't bother on how they think you should be rewarded, just know whut you deserve and that's pretty much all you ever need. Hey Juniors, psle doesn't matter anymore you all can do it yeah haha

Advert (To heal some heartburn thingy)
"Gaviscon: For quick relief you can actually feel"

It isn't called relief if you can't feel it.

Hello again!
I finally got round to start my mugging again and shall take a kitkat break haha

Funny Things that I remember:
Sarah: Lets go picnic Friday!
Me: HUHHHH I thought we were supposed to watch DEAR JOHN!!!
Sarah: Don't lah! Picnic can BOND
Me: Oh then let's watch a James Bond movie, also can bond!! Hahaha

Ahmed (Takes my Victoria Secret spray): You better shut up if not I'll spray this in your face
Me: Ooooh then I'll be the new face of Victoria secret!!!

YongEn: I hate you
YongEn: I'm gonna kick you
(and the list goes on)
Me: I'm writing down all your deeds and sending it to your mom. Watch out. Hahaha

Hello again!!!
There's something officially wrong with IE haha but yeah

People have asked: Why join X??
After all, the only thing they do is run. For over 100++ trainings that we have, what we do is run. I know, sounds boring right but most of the times, or say all the time, the runners high I feel after a successful workout is beyond words. Hahaha and the swinging beat of my chain around my neck when I run gives the extra push. Haha OK weird, I know.

Term One have officially ended and it honestly didn't feel like a full term at all. Maybe it's because of the weird class timings I have or how we started school late anyway haha.

I forgot what I wanted to say. Oh yah - I found someone who has smallereyes than Rachel hahaha.

It's been one month ++ since I started JC and hopefully I will be able to be what I am like in Cedar, though that's like almost... humanly impossible. Haha. Though I had a faaantastic time annoying people with the 'Clean and Green' Singapore song. That reminds me of O Level because when waiting to go into the hall before our papers started, I would deliver that cool song to my friends and they luv it. (RIGHT right). Haha yeah.

X COUNTRY nationals are like 3 weeks away and haha so exciting I can't wait for it to be over. But hey, I'm the kind who is scared and nervous like cow even before napha 2.4km tests begin so I honestly cannot imagine what colour I'll be on that day. Haha

I mizz the basketballers and come to think of it, it's been neeearly a year since I last played basketball. Right k, I played once in the holidays against the jrs but yeah. I mizz the team esp when we hang out after school at the dirty basketball court and look at the sun and repeat 1000000 times "Wp why is today so hot!" or trying to play directors and predict what we will do for training that day (which I must say, I am pretty good at hahaha)

I mizz the 4C clique which was formed in a super weird manner. (I forgot how it was formed cause its weird) haha but they issss awesome manz. I never thought I'd have more than 5 friends when i first entered 4C honestly. And like how we beach (my blog is PG) about our A1 and F9 (inside joke) buddies and how we laugh at how much Mdm Wong loves Jiamin or many weird things. HAHA. I miss annoying them cause they have real classic faces. I miss practising my cheena accent to Angeline she luvvvs it.

I mizz being in a girls' school where we can change freely in class (That day I change in Mana Cafe mean YongEn nag like ahma) and when having a stain on your skirt is a 'nevermind' and everyone is encouraged to embarrass themselves. (Which Sarah did very well in).

MOST OF ALL. I mizz sleeping 12 hours a day in the after o level break. Zzz. And going to Suntec with Serene almost everyday and in everything we could say "We have time". HAHA.

Nevertheless, I thank God for giving me change in my life or I'll be a boring old hag and be as dry as dust. I still luvv my class they rock like rocks. Haha

Be strong in the Lord

Went for the VJC BBQ on Friday and since school ended at 4++, I didn't want to reach there too early (must make grand entrance y know) so I went to SIMIN's house to slack slack and watch some last part of 'Shopaholics' and the guy is freaking handsome :)

Took a bus down to Mandarin Garden's and waited for mean ZiFeng (He didn't want to share his frenchfries) and JOY and SIMIN were stalking us from behind and obviously they failed cause they were so obvious. Haha reached and talked to many many many people (MIzz them manzx) like Jieshi who thinks that I'm so obvious w to my eye candy. Hahaha. Wtv manzx. Walked around to find other Cedarians and manhunt for cute guys. (Phail) and since therre were no food, me Emma JJ Bryan Grace ZiFeng and more went to Macs to eat. Yeah yeah. About all.

HIHI Hahahaha I haven't posted in a long time
But I guess it's OK since no one reads ANYWAY.

Ohhhh. CNY just passed and it's pretty much the same as the previous years I guess!!! Haha

School
Haven't switched on to the studying mood yet but soon I guess. It's OK I think it's still early. Hahahaha. Lectures have been pretty boring and tiring and everyone has the 'Its OK the teacher can't see me so I sleep'. But yeah it's true that the teacher can't see you. Lee YONGEN sleeps in all lectures. Tutorials are much more interesting and fun. And yeah.

For the physics project work, (Which is to build a rubberband shooter), Ahmed Teri Rachel was in the same group as me and thanks to them, our rubberband shooter was totalllleh aweeeesome. Hahaha. But eh, I thought of the group name when I was looking at the buildings opposite our school and the word 'Rubberband' came to my mind. Gooood right!!! Rubberband is totalley a fantastic name. hahaha. Unlike some dododustbin or something.

Today we hd council briefing and it's pretty yeah. Now I don't know how to get myself out of it.

Thank God now I have a going to school friend TYH. Hahaha yeah.

Friday
Yesterday our school went to Sentosa to celebrate CNY and V Day and Total Defence Day. Hahaha. No link.

Met up with my og and school paid for the entrance fee so we all just went in and filled up the monorail. Haha. After getting there, og was spilt so went to find my class for registration and Johnervan, Quintus and I formed our own 'Appeal OG' cause we were all appeal and joined our og later, so we kinda didn't like our ogs. Hahahaha. Hung around and ate alot of the ice pop thingy.

Took over Aisyah in the Bialthlon thingy with 2 canoeists and YeLin from Basketball!! Hahaha it was mad tiring and at least I had something to do in the day. Met up with Aisyah and we walked around and talked about people while stalking my econs teacher. Hahaha. I swear YongHwee was stalking me cause there were like 2500 people and Palawan beach was mega huge but I saw him like 1000000 times.

Went back to the large tent and was finding 6n when I saw YongEn and just sat down. Hahahaha. Yeah we rushed off back to Cedar!!! So good to see everyone again!!!! :) :)

Went out with Serene to City Hall again!!! Hahahahaha

I reaaaaallllly got a hip dislocation. Hahaha. NO LAH my tiny muscle at my hip was just over worked but I still don't get why an over worked muscle will cause funny bones to move. Hahaha

Yesterday I had RProject auditions,
And the Cedarians (Aisyah, Andeline, LiBing, Amanda and I) were auper chicken so we hid along the narrow corridoors to do our catwalk practising and when we went in, it was freeeeeaking scary. Hahaha Yeah but I'm glad at least I tried though I won't get in. Hahaha.

Had our first tutorial yesterday and the classrooms had cool table/chairs. The table were chairs and the chairs were tables. HAHAHA yeah you geddit. And we have handsome econs teacher. Hahahaha.

Today,
We had a relatively easy day and had assembly on 'Code of Conduct'. HAHA Lee Yong En totally slept through the entire thingy. Stayed back to wait for training to start and YongEn convinced me to eat solid food for wtv reason and I went to training. Yeah. Sucked.

HIHI

I'm still thinking of the VJ mass dance at Suntec and that makes me happy. Haha

Today we alllll got our timetables and it's honestly very very very terrible. Hahaha. But nehmind I've changed and I'm renewed. I can handle odd timings. God help me.

Yeah and I went for x training and I believe that I've dislocated my hip though no one believes. Hahahaha.

"Omg I think I've dislocated my hip!!!! Some bone there is moving when I walk!!!"
"Lame shit lah you, walking of course got bone move right!!!"

Haha so yeah. Today is the last day we can hang around in the free time slots (Which are plenty) as a class. OK I like my class they are funny and full of talents. Haha

P.S. Fwens if you see my eye candy please help me say hi!!! :) :)

Hellllllo. HIHI
Today is Saturday. Right.

On Thursday, we had damnnnn alot of lectures and it was actually subject intro but they started on the notes. Haha. In between lectures, we hung around at the canteen and went to play Frisbee at ri. I hate playing frisbeeeee cuz I chant "me me me me me me me me me me me me" and no one EVA passes to me. Sad right. And!!! No one believes I'm in the same team as them :(

On Friday,
We had noooo lectures at all (Only for this weeek) so we just slacked. I was super duper uper pissed at someone so that caused me to be moody for the entire day. Haha

Headed over to VJ after that in my VJ PE shirt and everyone had to bathe cause they stink from playing games at the beach HAHA and I went to meet Serene for a tiny little while before she had to rush and I was with JieShi and she walked me to the busstop to meet Bryan and ZiFeng. Haha went to Marina Carls Jr for free flow of drinks and to the fountain of wealth where all the mass dances were. I was amazed at how popular I was. Haha. Toooook loads of pictures (I don't know where they are) and Jasmine (og head) pulled us to join the 'Pyxis' human train but in the end I broke it (Under Bryan's influence) and there was the 'Cedar' one too but too corny for me. Later they start cheering Cedar Solid I DIE.

Didn't want to get caught up in the mass of humans so Grace, Bryan, ZiFeng and I hung around at the back haha and met many new and old people!!! :) :)

Don't know how to explain what happened but it was v v v fun and after that we went to Marina rooftop and home. I was dying.

TOday,
Had my first x training and I dieded.

I mizz Cedar's uniform I mizz VeeJayCee I mizz CB (Cedar Basketball) I mizz going to Suntec everyday.

Butz it's time to start my new phase of life. Hahahaha.

I shall not compliment my white teeth again since SIMIN is so jealous of it. Haha

HIHI!!!
Today was the first day of school.

All the JOnes assembled in the parade square today and even though it was pretty messy. It was pretty cool too!!! Hahaha.

Felt weird not wearing the blue Cedar uniform cuz can see bra colour hahaha and it was white!!!!!! Haha.

Uhyeah, hung around in our new class before going for PE then Econs and freeee periods. Haha. We went over to RI to eat at the canteen there cuz the RIJC canteen had too many people hahaha.
Came back for assembly and the boys convinced us to go to the Econs talk while they ran away. Hahaha. I almost fell asleep cuz I didn't understand anything at all. But yeah.

SereneYapz: HIHI ni hao ma!!! Hope you're having a great time haha meet up in j8 soonz. haha

Yesterday 1st February
Went to RI for my orientation, met all the other Cedarians and it was really awkward for me cuz the people there were already bonded on the first 2 days of orientation and I just tagged along with my group.
I was in Bayley Waddle09 and Aisyah was in Bayley Waddle11!!! So at least we could cheer and play games together and stuff :)
Had to go to a Math test for 2 freaking hours omg I almost died cause it was the most difficult math paper I eva eva eva did in my entire life.
And I haven't touched math since o levels ended. Hahaha

Went to buy uniform and went to Marina/Suntec to meet my VJ orientation group!!! :):)
Haha love those people they are damn funny. SO in the end we settled down at subway and talked until 10+ and we started to tell jokes and all. Hahaha.
Went home w Christine and Bryan and I was dead cat bird tired.

Today 2nd February
Went to school at 730 omg.
Had usual og stuff and got our classes. Hahaha. But Nat was just for UK today :(
Went to the hall for mass dance and a nice senior partnered a noob me but it was v v fun. Thankz Daniel.

Had war games and Bayley Waddle won!!! :)
School starts tomorrow. My life so interesting hor.

I feel like some small kid going to Primary One.

Haha. Tomorrow honestly feels like Sec 1 once again. New school, new people, new friends, new environment. Just like how it was when I was sec 1.
If I was OK then, it should be OK now right??

I mean, I didn't morph into some weirdo lunatic who repels people.
Maybe I'm like stainless steel, strong but friend-less. Hahahahaa. OKey!!! :)

Right. Now I can't (I can't complete this sentence cause I just forgot what to say and blame Mervin cause he just talked to me haha).
K lah, no Mervin is actually very nice though very crazy.

My VJ orientation group just invited me for og dinner tomorrow, and my reflex action was an 'awww'.
Hello world, I'm a Rafflesian.
Minus the 'n' and I'm the largest and smelliest flower in the world. But I'm not. :)

I'm as troubled as I look OK.

Ignore my hair. Look at my troubled eyes. (haha)

I know I'm somewhat boasting but it's not a nice feeling to be torn between 2 good colleges.

(But hey look, Thank God, at least I have white teeth :) )

Orientation VJC
For the 2nd day of orientation, Serene and I met again and we were late again.
We ran into the school and to the Econs subject briefing.

Went back to my orientation group and walked around the school before settling down in some random class and playing games and learning cheers.

Had lunch, left for RI to get the form and came back.

Initially I was already officially a Rafflesian. But when I came back, Mr Tan, Miss Teo and Miss Ng (PE teachers) talked to me and asked me whether I wanted to stay.
I reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly wanted to join VJ cross country :(
And when my Raffles paper fewdwn the gym, they were all like "it's a sign!" haha

And I missed all the mass dances (I really wanted to dance!!!) and sat outside the hall. Then Melvin, who was another RI appeallee, came and talk talk.

And Mervin Tanz came out and asked me to go to some secluded area to pray and he said
"If it doesn't rain in 30 seconds, you better come to VJ"
.
.
.
OK. It didn't rain. Haha
Then I don't know is it something he said or something I thought about and I started to cry. Hahahaha.
And many people came.

That's how VJ is like. People there all have a big kind heart and are all friendly and v v v nice. Then one ogl (Whom I didn't know at all) came and talked to me and brought me around. It's like she didn't even know me but took time and bring me around. Haha.
And I went to the track and there was this girl who brought up 2 cups of juice to us and said "Mr Tan told me to get this for you."

Nice to the pepsi max right!!!! :)
Thankzxzxz Mervin, (OGL whose name I forgot sorry), SiMin, Serene, Mr Tan Miss Teo Miss Ng, Grace, Brian, JieShiiiii and many random VJ people who were there :)
Went to run to detox a little and went for og dinner at marina.

I love VJC. I love the people there.

I was just looking through stuffs and saw my testimonial. Hahaha

Character
Melinda is an earnest and good-natured pupil who gets along well with her classmates. She is also an amiable and sensible pupil with a pleasant disposition. She is gracious, courteous, and has developed a strong working rapport with her classmates. She has a gentle temperament coupled with a judicious and tactful working attitude. Melinda sets high personal goals for herself and strives hard to achieve them.

Hmmmmm, so true. Hahaha especially the 'gracious, courteous, gentle temperament' part.

Today, I went to VJC and woke up at like 5plus.

5 plus can! What kind of unearthly hour is that??! It's probably the time when like thieves steal things and terrorists attacks.
Met Serene in the bus and we were 5 mins late, but since the school was sooooo messy and crowded that I almost had an asthma attack, hahaha, queued up w Simin, Bella and JieShi to register and went to the threatre for some principal's address (Wow we could find out where the principal stayed haha) and the usual "sit in a circle and intro" kinda things.

Rushed over to RI to hand in appeal and back again! Hahaha I unexpectedly reallllllllyyyyy enjoyed VJ and their corny mass dance. Hahahahaha.

Right. I'm so indecisive. What if I get into R...

:)

I on my phone the whole night and put it on the 'loud' mode so I could wake up from the sms. Haha

Nathaniel's sms woke me up instead and until now, I haven't received the sms from the wtv service!!! Haha
but nehmind, cause I checked the webby on my bb. :)

I can only speak my mind, and what I feel is true.

Today, met up with the 4C clique and we watched 'New York, I love you'

And... I felt as if I wasted 2 hours of my life. Haha. The movies had absolutely no storyline at all, and you will feel empty after watching it.

The exact same feeling after you watch, 'The Happening'
OK 'The Happening' is the worst worst worst movie ever. Cause, I felt like life was meaningless, food was tasteless, what I saw was colourless. Yes... it does this kind of things to you.

I'm getting my posting results tomorrow! :)

Yesterday,

Serene and I went to the Resorts World (Sentosa) and she literally went crazy when she saw Victoria's Secret. She jumped up and down about 100 times, did 40 push-ups, sprinted from one end of the gallery to the other about 5 times and 10 standing broadjumps. Hahaha, bought some parfum and left.

We weren't even there for like an hour cause nothing was open and the Casino were obviously a no no.

Took the bus back to Vivo walked around, finding for chinese new year stuffs but there was none :(
Nehmind, forgive them.

Went to Somerset for primary school class gathering and watched 'The Spy next door'.
It...I...Honestly... don't like it.

1. My dislike is to entirely due to Jackie Chan's presence though it partly is. Like come on man, Jackie Chan never dies in a movie even though 19482853634587 bullets have been shot at him. And don't say he's wearing a bullet-proof vest even though sometimes he is, because you'll feel the impact of the bullet still. Whoa, didn't know Jackie Chan is iron man.
2. However, the kids were damn cute :)
3. Jackie Chan performs come kung-fu and whoohoo! He saves the day. (Like so original can, same kind one!)
4. But it's pretty funny lah.

Whokay, will be getting our school posting results next Wednesday.
I'm not scared about which school I'll enter, I'm just scared that I don't receive the sms at all. Hahaha

Yesterday Simin called and we were talking about JCs.

Melinda: VJ orientation, we have to do lotszxzxz of mass dances right??
Simin: OH YES, on the first day, second day etc.
Melinda: OH NO HOW HOW HOW I HATE HATE HATE MASS DANCES AND CHEERS AND ALL THE CHEESY CORNY SCHOOL SPIRIT STUFFS.
.
.
.
.
Simin: Mass dance quite cool what!
Melinda: Uh... no?
Simin: It is LOR! You always like that one!! Cedar cheers also don't like!
Melinda: Oh my puhleese, Cedar Solid right? That's like the dumbest cheer on earth. Damn corny can!
Simin: Nooooooooo! It's nice!!!
.
.
.
.
Melinda: My friend said that last day, VJ will go to Suntec City and dance the mass dance. I'm gonna pon that day. Like pretend I have tummy ache.
Simin: Ehhhhhhh!
(This was the longest and screechest 'Eh' I have ever heard in my entire life)
.
.
.
.
Simin: If you get VJ, will you appeal out??
Melinda: Eh... no lah, won't. BUT, if during the mass dance on the first day, no guy approaches to dance with me, I'll appeal to RI straightway. Hahahahhaaha.

Don't read this. It's kinda boring.

Sound


Marion stood in front of the television and started to dance to the songs that were featured in her favorite musical- The Sound of Music. Having watched the movie dozens of times, she could imitate every dance step flawlessly. As she braved herself for the next song to begin, she thought gleefully to herself, “This is too good to be true!”

It was indeed too good to be true as Marion was jolted awake. Being snapped out of her reverie, the silence of her bedroom haunted her once again. As she gazed at the morning sun reflecting its glorious rays onto her mirror, a wave of self-pity flooded her. It had been three weeks since she was discharged from the hospital after experiencing a harrowing car accident. This also meant that Marion have waited three weeks for her sense of hearing to return. She dreamt about sound every night and was only disappointed to wake up to the quietness.

“Maybe my sense of hearing will come back tomorrow,.” Marion thought to herself, sanguinity filling her heart.

However, Marion also was well aware that her optimism was dwindling away and she started to believe that she will would remain deaf forever. The doctor had told her that it was mostly psychological- all Marion could do to heal herself was to remain hopeful and keep to a regular diet. Since then, Marion have been faithfully praying and sticking to her strict diet, but to no avail. The greatest pain was that she was unable to enjoy music like before.

As Marion prepared to go back to her music school the next day, fear crept into her mind. She feared having to see the pitying glances from her schoolmates. Marion also hated to think that she was going to cause inconvenience to her teacher. After Marion braced herself, she stepped into the classroom.

As she entered the classroom, she could feel 2 dozen pair of eyes fixed at her before gathering into groups and starting to whisper among themselves. Marion felt tears threatening to fall and she swallowed them back, refusing to let her classmates bring her down.

“She’s deaf! Why is she back here?” said her classmate smugly, unaware that Marion could lip-read.

Marion stared in disbelief at her previously supportive and encouraging classmates before turning around and fleeing from their self-satisfied faces.

“I will prove them wrong! I will become the most outstanding musician of the year!” Marion told herself, determination filling her deflated pride.

Over the next few weeks, Marion practiced on the piano although she could not hear.; Marion played when she was lonely or desolate and spent her time devoted to playing the piano. Even though she could not hear the melody, she could feel the rhythm pulsating in her heart as her fingers moved across the keyboard as smoothly and fluently like before.

On the day of the examination, Marion strode into the classroom, feeling more confident than ever. As she saw the curious but surprised glances from her classmates, her mother gave her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before pointing her towards the room.

Marion took a deep breath and started to play. As she played, she felt the music come alive as her fingers danced across the keyboard. Her mind was in tranquility, free from worries. She felt the melody ring in her ears as she finally ended her piece with the highest note.

“Congratulations, Marion, you are the first student to receive the distinction,.” hHer teacher said, voice brimming with satisfaction.

Marion registered the words and found herself screaming in exhilaration. As she rushed towards her mother, prepared to convey the good news, she realized that something was different. The sound from the noisy chatter of her classmates, the soothing music playing in the background and the familiar tunes flowing from the piano room had filled the silence that once used to be deafening.

Honestly, we still look the same. That was like 3 years ago after some speech day.

Maybe except now, Crystal's a blondie and Serene's a brownie. Me and Lynn are still blackies.

Ignorance Is Bliss

Just like when there is a worm in your fig, and you find out that it is a worm, you'll get paranoid and for every other figs you eat, you'll check for worms. But if you never knew that worms could appear in figs, then you'll have a better time eating figs.

Have you seen the Garnier men advertisement??

"Is your men using soap to wash his face?"
"Worried about his first breakout?"

"Time to take care of him!"

Seriously, if he needs me to take care of him like this, he shouldn't be called a man.

In a world of suffering, why should I be so blessed?

This reminds me of some website I saw, where people write things that happen to them, ending with 'fmylife'. Their problems range from spilling coffee on their clothes, a blender breaking down, not being able to get the number of wtv girl etc. (you get the idea)

While people in Haiti experienced a earthquake and their problems are like life/death kinda thing.

While people here are complaining
"Wp!!! Food no taste, food so salty, food so sweet"

People in Haiti are fighting to get wtv kind of food they can.

OK I have a new resolution
I will neva eva complain about stuffs like this. :)

Goodness, I dying for a run now.

The whole world now has emo posts on their blogs, and this just shows another downside of the cyber world. It doesn't matter how much we all post and post on our blogs about any issue cause it will never be solved.

And when a problem is never solved, goodbye to the friendship. It's not even a 'see you'. It's a goodbye. OK, more like 'badbye'.

I don't know if the one you are referring to on your blog is me (See, another downside cuz you get to talk bad about a person without directing it at her), but I hope that it's not. I wouldn't mind going to a jc all on my own cause that was what I was ready for right from the beginning when everyone got grouped up nicely in their pairs, or triplets, or quads and sailed off to some JC. I'm used to it, seriously, cause from primary to sceondary school, I was on my own too, and I think I managed just fine.

So please stop saying (or thinking) that I coerced the whole world to enter the same school as me cause I jolly well didn't.

I'm not a manipulator, and certainly not a bitch.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I have certain tendencies to do stuff like this (Assuming I'm featured on people's blog).
I have inferiority complex.

I'd rather be stuck up in a tree,
Than be tied to it.

HiHi once again.
I feel like I betrayed my friends by putting RJ as my first choice.

OK I'm not good at emo posts.
Today we went to CCAB to support our juniors. I walked to school (From home whoohoo!) and met Serene in school. We followed the bus to CCAB and looking at my juniors getting butterflies in their tummies or getting high in the bus, and it reminded me of how we were like when we went to matches.

And seeing jiaolian scold and shout during matches felt like he was shouting at us. OK, weird I know.

Juniors, stay strong, I'm sure you all will pull through :)

Me, Jiamin, Serene and Audrey went to J8 to eat (again) and we walked around before going to Serene's house to watch TV. Haha.

Cedar Basketball

This is how I entered into Cedar. Via Cedar Basketball. The teacher in charge thought that my running skills were extraordinary and chose me into the school.

As I played and ran and played, I really enjoyed the game of running around the relatively tiny court with an orange ball in your hand, but obviously my skills were soooo terrible that the teacher always said

"Look at Melinda, she never played played basketball in primary school...."
And I would be thinking

"What!!! You mean I'm so lousy that you think I have no basketball background!!!"

So I kept on training and running harder than I ever thought I could. When I was sec 2, I improved drastically (Or at least I thought so) and could play in almost every single match.

Sec 3 came, I wasn't in the team and when people asked me why, I simply said
"Cause I'm not good enough?"

Seriously, I wasn't even that good to start from. However, I was happy to not get into the team because I was tired, really tired of trainings and basketball and I could have more time to focus on my studies (Which realle sucked, by the way).

I guess that by not entering into the team at sec 3, that improved everyone else's skills and deproved my own. I grew to dislike the game cause I was bad at it (So human, huh?), but what kept me to enjoy every single training or talks or matches was the bond of the team and my coach. They're one of a kind, fantastic to the pepsi max :)

I guess I was sort of using basketball trainings to train up my stamina. I finish every training feeling that I have achieved something, that is, by running.

Secondary 4, somehow my motivation kinda vanished magically, but I still stuck through it with much passion (But for the wring things I guess).

So now, I say goodbye :) to basketball. When I get onto the court, I feel fear. Fear that the ball will come into my face in all directions (Stupid right) or that I'll break some part of my body or the inability to attack or defend properly.

HiHi Again!!

This morning, I was trying to tire myself out so that I wouldn't be able to have any energy to think about getting my results.

I ran, I suntanned, I walked. But of course, it was no use.
If there was any use, no one would die of a cardiac arrest. :)

I wasted time walking around in compass before I was asked my Mich to hurry hurry hurry go to school and I did. Hahaha

OK thank you God for giving me brains to study and sometimes, no matter how I complain and whine about Singapore's education system and the teachers, I truly treasure what we all have. Without you, I am nothing :)

Thank you to alllll people around me and to the sec 4s, whoohoo you can do it :) :)
If my this kind also can make it, you all sure no problem onezx!! :)

I saw the rain fall down today, watched lightning crashed through skies of gray.
Why can't life just be light and rain?

I know, tomorrow, at about 2pm, all the once sec 4 students will be getting back their o level results.
And the feeling is the same as when before I am gonna start running a race or a v v v important basketball match.

I pray that God will help me to accept whatever results I get, but I will make sure that I will cry.

Good? Happy tears.
Bad? Sad tears lor, hahaha

What I wish I could do now

1. Go to the top of a carpark and dance ballet.
2. Run 10k.
3. By myself 99 roses.
4. Go for retail therapy (Shopping)
5. Eat lasagne.
6. Kick somebody :)

I hope that there will be more blood in my body tomorrow so that my heart will not pump so hard.

HIHI

For this entire week, I spent it either meeting Jiajian or Serene or trying to be healthy and running around. Haha It's really a pleasure to annoy Serene cause she'll want to hit you in an ah-ma kinda way.

I'm great at annoying people. Please e-mail me if you need help. I think that Daniel Yap should learn from me first. Hahaha.

Serene: Come, Melinda, I show you my Victoria Secret parfums!!!
Melinda: Oh, OK!
Serene: See this one is pure seduction, this is berry wtv, this is pear wtv, this is cotton candy wtv......
.
.
.
.
Serene: EH??? WHERE IS MY PURPLE ONE????
(Rummages entire cupboard and flips the room upside down in search for the purple parfum. She checks underneath every carebear and behind every photoframe)
Melinda: Maybe your bro took it. Maybe he brought it to school and "Eh! Buddy! Check out my parfum man!!!!"
Serene: Cannnot be LAH.
.
.
.
.
Serene: Annaline! (Her domestic helper's name) Did you see my parfum???
Annaline: Ohhhhhh! Daniel take!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahhahaah. Damn funny.
.
.

Serene: (On the phone) Hello DANIEL AH! YOU TAKE MY VICTORIA SECRET FOR WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!! IF YOU SPRAY ON OTHER GIRL, I BEEEEAAAAT YOU AH!

Hahaha hilarious to the pepsi max.

Today I watched Avatar.

I know that I'm a bit (Or say, very) slow, but Avatar is a very very very very nice movie!!!!! :)
Initially, I was v v v v irritated with it cause it appears in MacDonald's adverts (Which are pretty often), and whuts the big deal about blue people manzx!!!

Not only do they look pretty hideous (Wow my use of oxymoron so powerful!!), they look like star signs. I think it's sagitarius or something close to that.

It's like- you want to look like humans also cannot make it lor

But, after spending 2 hours+ sitting in the theatre and watching Avatar, I've changed my mine.

I think that I want to be a blue person now because

1. Come to think of it, they look pretty nice :)
2. They are alllll eco friendly.
3. They can fly in the sky on their dragon-bird animals which is damnnnnnn cool.
4. They make humans look selfish and dumb (I'm human too, but I'm saying the humans in the movie)
5. They are called 'the people' and the humans are called 'the aliens'.

Come to think of it, how do we know that we are not aliens to some other 'people' how there??
They might all be thinking, why is this group of animals named 'homo sapiens' so weird? They are so colourful!!! 1 hour of sun and they become 1 shade darker (Happened to me) while look! We are all blue!!!

Anyway, if I was part of 'the people' (or what we'll call the aliens)

I know, cool right
