Stupid SBJ!

heh what a demoralizing day. And this is sooo going to be a demoralizing ranting post. Be prepared. Mass PE today was terrible >< especially the Standing Board Jump (SBJ) part. Out of so many people, practically all can pass it can?! And I am like so poor thing, the first person, the first to 现丑, how irritating. Not that I want to be the first. Jus so happened I am from the first year 5 class and the first person from the class in that SBJ group.

My SBJ is such a disaster these days. I don't know what's wrong with me. I get the jitters whenever I see the calibration on whthe SBJ mat. Just at's wrong man. It's just a few numbers and I am so freaked out by them. Extremely fed up and disappointed with myself lah.

Then we did skipping and some footwork exercises. Seriously I can't make it, other than the skipping part. Leg and eye coordination not good lor. What to do. Think I am getting rather phobic about jumping far. I have no problem jumping tall lah, or at least I think so.

I must really thank those people who gave me tips for SBJ. Thanks loads. Will try to bear them in mind. I need to overcome the phobia sooner or later. No no. Before my Nafa.

It's time like this when I feel really helpless. No motivation, no confidence.

Uh Oh March Hols have come to an end

Uh oh. Today's the last day of March holidays. And is also the day of misery since I have lotsa homework not done yet. And I have to prepare for tomorrow's assembly talk. I should be thankful for another opportunity to do public speaking, to channel my talkativeness into good use. Wahaha. Ok lah selectively-talkative.

Anyway I finally completed the China Studies Case Study with Yi Xian and Jue Hui. Almost completing. Then I shall get on to do my GP journal and the whole of tonight will be dedicated to Maths, and Maths ONLY >< but the sad thing is that I want to watch Ren Ci Charity Show too! How?

Solution : Multi-tasking (:

why not?

I am getting better at it as the days go by. I was listening to my favourite songs (Currently - Tank's 非你莫属), doing research for the China Studies Case Study on 陈良宇, and drinking coffee ;)

Anyway I actually got mixed up and remembered the corrupted official's name to be Liang Chen Yu. Then JH and YX were like !!!! Lol. I am sorry.

Oooo btw my favourite flowers currently are... guess?

DAFFODILS!

woohoo symbols of hope, merriness and glee ^^ Such pretty flowers... =D

It's time to carry on with my work instead of slacking here...

Presenting to you the lyrics of the song that touched my heart =p :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tank 的 <<非你莫属>>

<白>:你知道吗?
我很喜欢牵着你的手的感觉
发生什么样子
我好希望再来一次

懂得让我微笑的人
再没有谁比你有天份
轻易闯进我的心门
明天的美梦你完成
整个宇宙浩瀚无边的尽头
每颗渺小星球
全都绕着你走

爱我非你莫属
我只愿守护由你给我的幸福
爱我非你莫属
也许会笑着哭
但那人是你所以不怕苦

懂得让我流泪的人
给的感动一定是最深
在我心中留下伤痕
你同时点亮了星辰
整个宇宙浩瀚无边的尽头
每颗渺小星球
全都绕着你走

爱我非你莫属
我只愿守护由你给我的幸福
爱我非你莫属
也许会笑着哭
但那人是你所以不怕苦

看那麽多相遇
偏偏只和你
天造地设般产生奇迹
哦我心的缝隙
我想除了你
任谁也无法填补这空虚

爱我非你莫属
我只愿守护由你给我的幸福
爱我非你莫属
也许会笑着哭
但那人是你所以不怕苦

那个人是你所以不怕苦
0o0不怕苦
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
就算吃尽苦头, 只要让你吃尽苦头的人是你深爱着的人, 那你再苦也不怕吗? 笑着哭是最痛的(五月天的<<知足>>), 爱情是否真的那么伟大呢?

对于爱情是否真的那么伟大, 我仍有些怀疑. 世界上所发生的每一件事都有两面吧, 有好有坏, 有喜有悲... 若付出了那么多却没得到什么, 那不是很遗憾? 爱得那么深, 最后却遍体是伤, 下次再也不敢放胆爱 (五月天的<<我又初恋了>>) , 那值得吗?

我是很投入社区服务之类的东西啦, 也很明白做任何事时不该求回报的道理, 但是唉哟, 爱情和当义工分明是两码不同的事嘛 ><

Just for laughs!
天涯何处无芳草,要找别在学校找,本来数量就不多,何况质量也不好
Composed by my Sun-shy friend ^^, I personally find it very creative (:

Dreams (Poem)

Just decided on a blogskin which I would be changing to very soon, once I find the time to do so. I was searching online for a poem to analyse for my poetry assignment and found this one that's really short and sweet and of cos, meaningful ;)

Dreams
By Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

In just 8 short lines, Hughes managed to convey the importance of dreams. Yeah dare to dream! My sec2 class motto. Too bad I can't use this poem for my assignment, because it has to be at least 16 lines long. Bummer. But it's ok. I have posted it on my blog to share with you all, my beloved blog-readers (:

I still have not decided on the poem to work on for my assignment but once I have done so, I will post the poem here alright. Stay tune, cheers ^^

Thankful in Everything? (Stories from the Heart)

Have been reading this book titled ' Stories from the Heart' which I borrowed from my school's library. I am trying to finish reading it asap so that I can move on to reading other books. Selectively read the book and yeah some stories are really inspirational like this one:

Thankful in Everything? Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry is a well-known Bible commentator. One day he was robbed and that evening made the following entry in his diary:

Let me be thankful -
first, because I was never robbed before.
second, because although they took my wallet they did not take my life
third, because although they took my all, it was not much
and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.

There are two sides to everything in our lives. Sometimes, if only we try to add that bit of optimism in our thinking, our lives would definitely be a whole lot better. Your thinking affect your living. Be thankful too, to the people around you. For every good deed, kind action done, it's worth being thankful. Being thankful and expressing our gratitude should become an essential in our lives (:

I am tired, better go and catch my sleep before my panda eyes darken!

Complexity of Humans

The complexity of human beings really freaks me out.
It's that terrible especially when it has something to do with the people around you.
Perhaps it's just me being too judgmental or prejudiced easiliy.
I don't know.
But sometimes there are people who share the same sentiments and I gain confidence in my prejudices.
Not that I don't know that prejudices are no-good.
It's a matter of helplessness within myself.
I struggled, I tried to place aside my prejudices.
I tried not to be too judgmental.
But it's not easy.
Nevertheless I am going to continue trying.

Sometimes I really wonder.
And this wonder doesn't keep the stars apart.
It makes my world crumble and ruin my meaning of life.

I believe my life will do much better without these wonders.

heee I am one complex human being lah.








20 over peers and myself went to volunteer our servies at the Food and Charity Fun Fair organized by the Lions Club at Singapore Foochow Assocation. It was a long and tiring day. But also one that's meaningful and fun. We did everything from carrying boxes of items, tending of game stalls, making and serving of tea and coffee, washing of pots and pans and helping to carry things down to the first storey when the carnival ends. Something like 包山包海 lah.

And we pigged out too. There were so much to eat! After the carnival, I went to PS with my parents and brother for dinner at Cafe Cartel. A continuation of pigging-out. Uh oh.

Anyway I was pretty sinful today :(

Sorry to everyone who had to wait at Lavender for the late-comer, that's me. I woke up late, have been having too few hours of sleep these days. I am sorry.

Sorry to Li Wen as well for pang-sehing you upstairs at the game stall. I am really very sorry.

;

I am thankful for a number of things today too (:

Thank you to everyone for waiting for me, so that I don't have to walk to Singapore Foochow Association building all alone.

Thank you for attending today's cip so as not to let my cip forms go to waste. heehee.

Thank you Jue Hui and Yi Ling for helping me navigate the way to Foochow Building, since my sense of direction and map reading skills are not exactly good.

Thank you Eileen for 'french-kissing' with the frog upon request. LOL ;)

Thank you, Li Wen for treating me to a cup of glass jelly drink.

Thank you, Yun Yin for washing the pots and pans with me.

Thank you Eileen for helping me remove my watch.

Thank you, Yun Yin for treating me to milk tea.

Thank you, Li Wen for tending the game stall when I was not around.

Thank you, Yuhan for helping us wash the rice container.

Thank you, Auntie Donna for sponsoring the lunch coupons.

Thank you, Auntie who helped us to pack the doughnuts.

Too much thankyous to say.
Too many people to thank.
I believe I would have missed out some people in the above list. But yeah a big thank you if you have made a difference in my life today.


Ohya. Thank you to my brother for giving me an ice cream treat today! WAHA!

Thank you to my parents for the treat at Cartel.

*Yawn.

The piggy-self has taken over me. I want to get my beauty sleep liao. Finally get to sleep slightly later tomorrow. Thank you! (:

Chemistry Test tomorrow

I have not done much intensive revision for the chemistry test tomorrow. Surprisingly I am kind of relaxed. But currently a bit pissed off.

Anyway I don't know why some guys like to use vulgarity so much. I don't have too high a tolerance level to hear those insulting words in my ears, though you may not be directing them at me but hello. I am hearing and taking in all the polluted words despite my hard efforts trying to stop my brain from assessing them.

Please lah.

It's not seh. It's disgusting.

Get a life, man.

I so hate vulgarity. I try not to scold them. And yeah I don't wish to hear people especially my friends to use them in daily dialogues. If you're my friend and reading these words, please refrain from using vulgarity unnecessarily. Thank you. I would really appreciate it alot.

I haven't been blogging for quite long. To think my first entry after such a long break is about the above. Thanks alot.

I hope Chemistry test tomorrow won't be too hard. Or at least hope that my brain is able to think cleanly and clearly.
