anything and everything

德明中学,矗立加东
亭亭松影,习习海风
集我英才,汇于一家
文艺科学, 同冶同攻
树模楷,教诚信
立风范,诲勇忠
吾学兮博通 吾德兮高崇
师生共陶镕 浩气干长空
爱护我德明 永志乎五中
广大我德明 永志乎五中


nostalgia is flowing through all over me. i really really missed nigus!
life without nigus is just so boring.


i miss strolling from 4K to the parade square with nigus. we would forever be strolling and annoying everyone behind us because we behave like we own the entire corridor.
i miss watering our bio plant!!!the poor plant!!! i realised we havent seen it for so long!and everytime after the weekend it would shrivel and wilt.but during weekdays our love, care and concern would make it bloom! (but it never grew up into a chilli plant..i doubt it ever will)
i miss the quarrelsome nigus and we would always be involved in bickers to arguements to scuffles to catfights.
i miss being late for lessons in other classrooms because christina is forever the LAST to get out of class.
i miss dunman's food larh.i mean, before the bell even rings for recess, we've decided what we want to eat already! oh believe me. we nigus NEVER believed in dieting.never.
we dont have the perseverance and determination to fight the tempting food glorious food.
(food in nanyang just sucks.look how much weight i've lost.teehee.)


i miss the cool vendors who're all simply fabulous!they can recognise you!!!
the drink-stall uncle...who's always so kind and friendly and he's always so innovative with his drinks! horlicks chocolate was out even before horlicks could come out with it!
the cai fan auntie who always gives you one whole pile of food.whereas the uncle is so stingy.
the western food which we NEVER EVER patronises because every time we do we would just moan and whine throughout recess in regret.
the xia mian uncle and aunty who'd always call me xiao mei or xiao mei mei.and the uncle even wanted to introduce his son to me! and he'll always give me more soup! and he knows i'm from co!
the chao guo tiao uncle and aunty! we always patronise on monday for chao guo tiao. YUM! i miss the fried chicken.and we'll NEVER miss it whenever the once in a blue moon chao xia mian appears!(esp me & claire the piggys)
i miss the yong tau hoo stall's fried wanton!!!and the nice yong tau hoo. and the nice porridge!
i miss the curry ji fan! every tues and thurs! oh my curry ji fan! my super yummy yu bing!(fishcake. u must be wonderin what's so nice about fishcakes.KEEP WONDERING TILL YOU TRY HERS.) and how we moan how slow the queue is and how everyone's cutting everyone's queue.
the snack stall uncle! i miss his strong and shi nian ru yi ri "THANK YOU!" this old man..he can be sleeping when u're patronising him, but he'd still say "THANK YOU!" energetically and robustly.
the malay stall!ooh.chicken drumstick. i miss the nice spicy nuggets! there was a period of time nigus was SO CRAZY about it we would always buy after PE and smuggle it into class during miss yee's boring english lesson.
the last stall, drink stall aunty..cheng tng!!!


i miss laughing at chloe doing the akimbo and her money dance and her "wahahaha" and her monkey-ness.
i miss claire's retardism and gullibility. (inventing words of my own.haha.)
i miss clarissa's small tiny ba zhang lian! always so tomato-red. and her idioticism and bimboticness!
i miss christina's man san pai.(erm.technically is not SAN PAI. is many many pais) and we would always be so exasperated we dont feel like talking to her.
i miss jia jia's lousy articulation and pronounciation. like C-ORH!(CO) eh-pril.(april) behloon.(balloon) yarlow.(yellow) nick(neck)
i miss my own craziness and randomness. (i'd be not listening to part of their conversation.and when i do, i'd give my comments thinking i know what they were talking about.. ah hahaha!& they would go "what you talking about larH?!")
i miss laughing to my heart's content.i've never felt like that for so long.


i miss complaining about fat pig low!
i miss laughing at miss yee, closing her eyes and teaching.
i miss Qiu Sheng. honestly.hahaha. Qiu Xin Hua! oh my tian. i miss chinese actually. i miss being cheeena. (jia xin, wo de hua wen hen hao!wo na A1 okay!)
i miss fat Lu.(although he abandoned us and gave us to mr Kiw) he helped me moderate my L1R5!
i miss Mrs Ho! her geography lessons are forever so enriching.
i miss Ms ling. i miss her scariness.teehee. and her droning SS lesson that would always hypnotize me to sleep.
i miss Ms Huda and her Lit lessons. and i would be one of the little handful people in class taking down notes and answering her. Kingshaw you poor thing!
i miss Ms Tan! the Edna Mode lookalike! i miss her quacky voice.and her hair!and copying down notes in her lessons. i miss her sarcasm SO SO SO SO MUCH!i miss the way she call "yi wen". so unique! hydrrrrogen mor-li-q.
i miss Mrs Wong! oh she poor little short skinny malnutrition-looking teacher! always carrying so many things. she brings out the empathy in us. always sho cute and funny with her "funny" little jokes.
i miss Ms C.Tan. haha. i'm sure she's such a great bio teacher. that's an overstatement.

i miss my bestest bestie on earth too. wong xiu yi.
i miss talking to you girl. i miss our randomness whenever we're at each other's house.
i just hope the geological distance would not distant our friendship and our hearts.
i miss dunman high co. (nyco is driving me crazy.)
I MISS DUNMAN LARH.
why am i always missing dunman?
sighs.
things will never be the way it was...


XINNN! how?
i miss nigus like you miss your hayeeeatoii
i miss xiuyi like you miss yan han
i miss dunman like you miss st nicks
i miss dhsco like...uh...you miss robotics?hahaha.i'm sure u missed robotics.


quote jia xin:
& so we'll go our separate ways, i'll never be half as brilliant as you.

no inspiration

i so desperately want to blog something.
but there's just no inspiration.no sparks.
basically school is just the same old boring routine i think i really need something to spice up my life.
but on the other hand, i think my life is just so busy i dont have much time for anything and everything.
i think i need to strike a balance.
and have BETTER time management.like desperately.
sighs.
i'm tired and i'm having a neck ache.
but i still have so much things to do i dont want to put them off and postpone it till tomorrow.
i dont want to be behind my schedule. (i AM already very far behind time.look at me.so far behind in academics!)
and somehow i just feel that i'm not doing my job well as a chairperson.
but as what everyone said, it's not my fault that the student population is just so apathetic towards CCA, now that CCA doesn't contribute much to University Admission.
sighs.
critical period. as what mr tan says.


ta.

today equals

now = post dinner activity: watch tv
later = bio practical report
GP homework
maths tutorial
(and the list goes on if i have the time)


CANNOT stand the communication break down in my class anymore.
i DID NOT receive the news that today there'll be NO econs tutorial.
i DID NOT receive the news that econs file need not to be handed in today.
(i assume) i WOULD NOT have been informed about econs make up tutorial next monday if not for xueting.
(i assume) i WOULD NOT have been informed about math tutorial being cancelled if not for xueting.
>.<
grrrr.


so today = no econ tutorial no math tutorial.
today also = meeting hosted by casper, attended by us the new excos, along with julian, sylvia, siu hon, xiujun.
sighs.
i think i have quite a lot of reflections to do?
and have quite a lot of things to consider and quite a lot of problems to tackle...
and three quite alots = ALOT to do.
problems problems problems.
sighs.
talked to wingyan after the meeting and the problems just keeps surfacing and surfacing.


after which...it was funny.
cuz in the library there were three groups of pple i wanted to join...
1. xue ting
2. tiara, anandhi, sharelle, chewling
3. jia xin & sarah
(i forgo-ed option 2 cuz there's already four of them. and i chose option 3 cuz i already spent my whole morning with xue ting.hahaha.)
but they left me so soon. boohoos.


bio practical = horribly stressed.
first brio (see?i'm so stressed just to think of it, i typed BRIO!)
first BIO practical after school reopens...
yayness.
YEAST again.
mrs ng said that next wk's practical is YEAST again.
and that bio practicals are SPA practices.
therefore, from the above evidences, i can infer that she is trying to imply yeast would most probably be out for SPA.
hehs.totally SS format.haha.
anyways, although it's alot of stress with mrs ng, (she's as strict as ms choong but not as fierce. at least she doesn't screams into our ears. at all. )
and we'll be used to the SPA atmosphere.
and speed up our work.
you know when our class ended our practical + detailed discussion for report and dismissed, miss ding's side just started washing up.
like WOW.
see the difference?
I LIKEEEEE mrs ng (:


OH!
and ms(or issit mrs?) eunice sim is SO CUTE!
hahaha.
she was explaining the Zero Order Reaction & First Order Reaction during chem lecture and asked if we know how to find the gradient of the graph.
and the whole LT (aka some random guys) randomly made those low moans of "no..."
and she went "you all dont know how to find the gradient ah?aiyo..your maths all cannot make it one arh? i pity your maths teachers..."
den she actually started teaching us how to find the gradient larh!
i.e. y=mx+c
rate= k[A]
gradient=rate/[A]
= k
(so cute right! )
hahahahaha.

what a ONEdrous feeling.

yesterday was the most pathetic co practice i've ever had in my entire life.
hahaha.
seven people in total turned up.
five are exco members..one student conductor..one member..


ONE suona
ONE dizi
ONE cello
ONE yangqin
ONE gao hu
ONE er hu
ONE zhong hu


ONE-derful


so instead of having practice, we had a one hour plus long meeting with ding lao shi and liu fang lao shi..
and at 220, we started our mini CO practice.. played da gui..
it wasn't that bad cuz ding lao shi was basically brushing up our basics..
(and minus the fact that my shao pian is spoilt and i'm totally flat..)
yup.practiced our rhythm and all the small little details that we usually overlook.
just hope that this kinda practice happens ONCE also. :(
after practice, liu lao shi had to have a private meeting with ding lao shi..
so while i wait for their meeting to end so i could lock up the music room, sun yu & wing yan accompanied me.
apologies to wing yan for wednesday!i really didn't know monk would come.
SO SORRY! haha.
and got interrogated by sun yu but i cleverly digressed away from all her questions because of the endless interrogations i've experienced.
muahahahaha.


after that i went home and bathed, dressed for the changkat changi cc concert..
monk came to pick me up and together we went to tanjong pagar mrt..
bought flowers for the performers and we had our dinner at BK's
when we reached SCH, we had a hard time dodging all the pple there...but after the concert, we just gave up dodging.. hahaha..
took the train to city hall..shopped around at raffles city and then walked to suntec..
(:(:(:(:(:
ONEdrous night :D

the scandals are obvious.

hohoho.
0631 is getting more and more scandalous!
hmm...
tsk tsk tsk.

-horrors-


first pair...and the longest pair...
Eric & Kah Ying!
second pair...
Gary & Kai Li!
third pair...
Abel & Cheryl!
last but not least...the latest new scandal...
Adeline & Shawn!


TADA.
sho scandalous.
and none of them admits it.
but it is sooooo obvious! (deng deng!)
good job carmen.
i really think i can go be a private investigator next time when i grow up (if i cant find a job, that is)
heh heh hehs.


anyways.
i was sooooo super duper ultra extremely annoyed by cheryl & abel during bio practical.
we were checking our papers.
and their behaviour was so revolting it was getting on my nerves.
at first i thought it was really really sweet and cute. (during math period)
but when these hanky panky actions continues and persists for too long, it gets kinda revolting.
it all started when abel planted his big fat butt opposite cheryl.
and i was seated beside cheryl...
it was all abel looks at cheryl, cheryl looks at abel..
and they would smile till their eyes are gone..
they would talk and giggle and laugh...
mouth little secrets to each other...
okayyys.
i sound like one big fat jealous idiot.hahaha.
but NOPE.i'm not jealous.
i know what it's like to be... you know
but can u two be a little more discretive?!?! grrrrr.


NEW ECONS TEACHER!
no more boring lessons with miss yap. *heheheh*
new teacher is Miss Seraphim Hazel Ho.
she's cool.
first lesson with her today.
and she firstly made us wear stick-on name tags.
secondly made us do some surveys which asked questions like...
name, sec school, L1R5, subject grades, email, emergency contact...
pick a partner and write positive things about him/her on a slip of paper...
and some survey on how we learn..
(tick or leave blank) eg:
-you learn best when the environment is quiet
-you learn best when charts and diagrams are used
blablabla.
open-ended qn:
-describe your ideal economics lesson. (eg students' & teachers' characters, environment, methods of teaching etc)
-problems you face when tackling case studies
-problems you face when answering essay questions
-what you wish to be improved about econs tutorials
oh.and she took photos of us so she can remember our names.
(-.-ll)


ohwells.miss melissa kwok says we are REALLY REALLY lucky to have her.
so!
i shall wait and see!hahaha.


and.yup.
good job carmen!
please buck up!
