Went to do CIP at Tampines Regional Library from 5pm to 8pm. Thought that it might be fun, so went and signed up. My job was to collect used books that are in good condition from ppl who come to donate, giving them coupons for books in return. It was my first time doing CIP at a library, so yeah, I was a little bit shy and scared. It seemed natural to me later on as I became "more familiar with my job". There were lotta enquires about the whole movement, and my throat soon became dry. But still, there were ppl who came and donated some books. In very good condition too. Overall, it was very fun to be doing CIP at the library. Yay I even made a friend there! She was doing shift at the e-koisk, to teach ppl how to use it. She said that she came every friday, coz her school required them to do CIP. So yeah. I'll be doing this again in the same place, same time and same day next week(24/04). Minna-san, come and donate your used and still-in-good-condition books, no?!!!! PLUS, you get another used but still in good condition book in exchange!!! But pls go to the National Library Building on 25th April to exchange the coupons!!
After my shift had ended, I went to borrow books. I chose two ENGLISH books from the "Teenage Fiction Section" as I LOVE stories and not just those information books. They are "The Swan Maiden" by Heather Tomlinoon and "Your Eyes in Stars" by M.E. Kerr. Read finished "Your Eyes in Stars" today(a Sat). Sit in one sitting for like 6 hours. I could have never believed I could do that. The only other times I could do that with a book was when I was reading three "Artemis Fowl" stories(by Eoin Colfer). Interesting plots really. Well, to me that is. I guess maybe anxiety and curiosty made me do that "finish-a-book-in-one-sitting" feat. That what I love about books. Writers have this gift to entice readers. Because of this, I was even drawn to writing, and sometimes aspire to become a writer. Maybe someday, I'll will become one.

Umm.... It was Thurs. I'll be skipping straight to assembly. This week's assembly was well, more packed then the previous ones. We had outside ppl coming to our school too btw. Basically the entire assembly was focus on Sports Events. I was well, indifferent at first coz like, I not really "active" in the area of sports so yeah.... But in the end I was so hyped up with Miaw. The teachers and the outside ppl really really really made it look so interesting!!! So first, there was this YOG(Youth Olympic Games). It will be held in 2010. When? I think in August. I and SOOOOOOO hope our school sports girls will be representing S'pore!!! I mean like, then we can all get excited and be even more proud of our glorious school!!!! PLUS, our school won lotta competitions this year!!! Umm... for example, the hockey girls were the champions!!! The band ppl got GOLD WITH HONOURS. THAT IS SOOOOOO DARN COOL, NO???!!!! There are other ppl winning other competitions too. This is good, and bad. Why bad? There is like a HUGE amount of pressure for the other ppl who will be soon goiing to participate in the other competitions. What's more, I feel so hopeless. I can never win an award for Art club, seeing how un-artistic I am..... T^T Oh yeah, you know, our twinning country was the Philipines, so there was this boys' school that came for a exchange program some time ago. The 2D girls were their "host". If you really read the news(not the sports section, movie showtimes, etc), you may have seen an article about this whole thing. Apparently, the teacher said that bcoz we were the first schools to have an exchange program for the YOG, there was lotta press coverage for it. ANYWAYS, next up was the AYG(Asian Youth Games). It is fast approaching!!! Like what? TWO more months??!!! Oh and was bcoz of this thing the outside ppl came to our school to talk about it. Apparently, they told us a lotta facts about the upcoming AYG. There 45 countries participating!!! After their talk, it was the matter about this year's "Sports day". It is to be "linked" with National Day. I had never really experienced a St Nick's Sports Day once, so I'm really looking forward to it. She said that since it's gonna be the last Sports Day held in the current school(we're moving coz of PRIME, and we're coming back 2years ltr), it HAS to go off with a BIG BANG!!! So yeah, exciting, no? BUT, the problem is, I dont know my house yet. So do the rest of the Sec1s I think. But I'm sure we'll know soon. Afterall, our first official House meeting is coming up this month.
AFTER SCHOOL. There was this AYG booth near Ave 2, so Miaw, Faith and I went to check it out. They were giving out free 100plus drinks and there was this thing where you try to shoot a mark to win a freebie. We tried 3times; I won 2 wristbands, Miaw won 3, Faith DIDNT even try once!!! RAWR. So Miaw and I were "threatening" her. Then we went to sign on a board which is to send the players our well wishes. I wrote my copyrighted, famous in my circle of ppl, trademark well wish:"Gl Gl(Good Luck, but usually i say 'Go Les'), Gg Gg(Go Gay), Gambatte, ne?" After all that, I asked them to take a pic by the fir trees. It turned out sooooo NICE and AWESOME!!! But.... They warned me:"You'd better not put it in your blog hor...." So yeah.... What a pity. Later, we three went to get rackets and a shuttlecock from sch and played Badminton. At around 3plus, we stopped coz Faith and I had to go to our respective CCAs soon. We then returned to equipment and left. Below are some pics I took! ^.^

Umm... Hey ppl. I know that it's late, but still.... The main point for Tues was, well, the CIP trip to a Home. "Fun?" No. It is not "for fun". It is 100% serious and dont joke about it. Going to a home to do PROPER CIP isn't child's play or easy as ABC. You have to be careful to not hurt their feelings or talk about their children. So in short, pls be sensitive when talking with anyone in the Home. If you dont know what a Home is, it is a place where the elderly who were abandonned by their children or were homeless, wind up. They didn't ask for this, okay, so dont mock them or despise them or anything like that. Oh, in my point of view, DON'T show pity, show compassion or love instead. Coz, I will NEVER EVER wanna be pited. It's like, so demoralizing to me. But, that my opinion. Dont scold me or anything.... -.- Anyways, we stayed there for an hour plus. We were told to converse with the elderly there, and make them feel happier. I talked to this guy for the whole time. He was not grumpy or anything, so we talked alot. I THINK we made him a little happier.... When we were about to go back, we gathered back in a room. The man, who I THINK is in charge of the Home, told us some REAL, LIFE STORIES. It's not the bedtime stories who ends happily... It's very shocking stories. It was smth like this: There was this guy, who was in a very good school last time. He studied very hard, and thus got a very well-paid job. He wroked and worked very hard for his enire adult life, making lots of money. In the process, he neglected his family. When he became old, he had some "complications". He was then sent to the Home. When the man found out that he had two siblings, he tried to call them and asked them to take care of him. And, they gave the MOST SHOCKING reply:"Why? Last time when he made a lot of money, he didnt take care of us. Now, why should we take care of him? We shall leave him in your hands." Shocking? It was to me. Can you believe it? Moral of the story: Family is important. So what if you got a well-paid job? It cant be secured forever. Also: Look after your parents when they become old or very sick. They didnt send you to the orphanage, no? Remember that even YOUR children can do that to you. So pls set a good example.

Romanji Lyrics:
Naishote oshie de ageru kara
Dare ni mo zettai himishidda yo
Zen sen otome na kyara datte
Ano ko to aitsu wo suki datte

Rokotto sora mo tobe roshtte
Daishi na naka ma ga itsumo i te
Totsu sen kyara CHANGE shiko unkedo
Oki na kokoro de uketo nu de

Yuhi ki rigenman
Harisenon!

LUCKY! HAPPY! Makasete ne!
Uchiyuu no heiwa ho are ta kedo
Minna no kokoro homa motsu chau
Itsu sho ni warauyo!

LUCKY! HAPPY! Makasete ne!
Sekai no heiwa ho sore ho sore
Minna no yume rama motsu chau
Itsu sho ni V-SIGNU!

Translated Lyrics:
I'm gonna tell you a secret,
Don't tell anyone, okay?
Even though I'm not girly at all,
Two certain boys said they like me!

Jump up a bit into the sky,
My dearest friends are always there
Even if you suddenly Character Change,
I'll be there to stop you with my great big heart.

Pinky swear!
Cross my heart!

LUCKY! HAPPY! Leave it to me!
That'd be universal peace, but
I'll end up protecting everyone's hearts
Let's all smile together!

LUCKY! HAPPY! Leave it to me!
That's world peace! Yeah, that!
Everyone has dreams, so I'm gonna protect 'em!
Let's make a V-SIGN together!

I LOVE YOU CLUB!!!!!! This is a club which I, Faith, Ruyi and Miaw created during this Wednesday's Math lesson.... How did it start? When me and Miaw were talking about Shugo Chara fan clubs... I think she said that she was in the Chara Nari fan club(a lie, of course). then i said that I was in the I love you club(A lie at that time, of course). So yeah... after 10 mins, I turned back and said to Faith:"You! Are now the Vice-president of the I love you club!" Then Ruyi said that she wanted to join and be the Chairman. Then Maiw added that she wanted to be the Chairgirl. So yeah. A weird way to start an unofficial club. Later, we decided that our motto shall be "Minna Dai Suki"("I love everyone") and our purpose is to spread love through various sections. Not that "boy-girl/les/gay or whatever" kind of love. It is the friendship kind of love. ^.^ So yeah..... For the whole recess, we were trying to recruit people to join... Here's how the club works: Each member must have a role(nickname). She must also be in charge of a section. The person choses these two.
Umm..... We dont really have a full "Rules" list yet.... BUT! The first rule is: "Tell 10 ppl 'I love you' a day. And mean it too." So yeah.... 3 cheers for the I Love You Club!!!!! ^.^

Omg I so long never posted le. Busy mah. And lazy...DX So yeah.... YESTERDAY. Was Good Friday. Not a Chirstian or Catholic, so yeah I didnt go to a chruch to pray or anything. But I DID go to a chruch. Well, Coz my sis's dance group is in the finals for this "Evoke Your Dreams" competition. But before going there, we went to this prata stall and I order a paper prata ans a cup of milo dinosour(sp?). The paper prata was so freaking cool!!! And it was tasty too!!! But, it took me a long time to finish... I forgot to take a picture of it, so yeah.... T.T So, with my parents and bro, I went to this chruch in Hougang(sp?) to support her(and her team). There are 8 finalists in total, 5 bands and 3 dance groups. Their team was called "Groo-V". So for like umm... 3+ hours I was stuck in the cold cold cold cold cold cold auditorium. T.T It was cold cold cold cold cold cold!!!! PLUS, IT RAINED. That's why it was so cold. But luckily I didnt freeze to death. ^.^ The bands were like so COOOOOOL!!!! It made me feel talentless. T.T There was this girl drummer and she was totally AWESOME. You may think, "A girl playing the drums? Get real." BUT!!!! YOU HAVENT SEEN WHAT MAGIC SHE CAN DO ON THE DRUMS. I'm sooooo envious... *kira kira eyes* Oh, and there was this sec 1 guy... He was also AWESOME on the bass guitar.... He's even better than his much older band mate!!! AHHH I FEEL SO TALENTLESS(I am anyway). In the end, my sis's dance group got 2nd overall. The champion was umm this dance group called "Funky-3" which did some totally awesome breakdance moves. If I ever were to try to do break dance, I'll end up in the hospital with several broken bones. So yeah, I just realized the bitter truth: I am TALENTLESS. T.T After the competiton, there was this after party at the level-1 multi-purpose hall. People were selling mocktails, pizza, chips, and other snacks. I got a joy mocktail(the yellow colour one) and a slice of hawaiin pizza. It costs total $4 btw... After waiting for my sis, we went to this shop called "Tang tea house" at bedok for supper. Umm... I ate shrimp dumplings, mushroom soup, and a Iced Mocha. The ice mocha was sooooo cool. there was lotta whipped cream on top!!! WHEE!!! YAY!!! ^.^ At night.... I couldnt sleep... (but i managed to in the end)
This is so..... saddening that I forgot to take some pics........ T.T Oh yeah, I'm really adapting well to the braces. At first it was so pain!!! Even when eating!!!! Now I kinda got used to it and it doesnt hurt soooo much to eat any more!!! *smiles* ^.^

- ♥Pinny the Fangirl!~ ;

My teeth, gums, and mouth and ACHING. Because of braces. I had it done on Monday(Yesterday). At first it was like, ok... but now I have trouble eating. and sometimes speaking. But the dentist says that this is normal and will last for probably 3 to 7 days. Apparrently, he says that it quite a fad these days to put braces(Should this comfort me???). People with straight teeth will come and ask to do braces. Weird, no? Anyways... I got the metal kind... and for the band colour I chose red. The nurses were like "Oh!" and he said that red is a popular colour, but uncommon for "first-timers" as they will choose te less bright colours. I still chose red in the end. So yeah, when I got back to school everyone was like "Smile!" or "Let me see!". Smiling..... kinda hurts to accomplish now.... T.T
Today for Art we had to draw a red chilli using blending and cross-hatching!!! OMG TING XIE IS 2 MORE DAYS AWAY AND I STILL HAVE NOT STUDIED. HELP. Oh, and there's a EL Comprehension test tmrrw... T.T I miss my carefree Primary days... But the seniors say that Sec 1 life is heaven for them now... So I'd better enjoy it while I still can!*tries to smile* *Ouch it hurts* T.T

- ♥Pinny the Fangirl!~ ;

I'll make this real quick. Yesterday was "Qing Ming Jie". I think. So yeah, today me and my family went to go pray to our ancestors. My other relatives too. Didnt have a pic of the whole thing. I didnt want to offend the spirits(haha?). So yeah, NO PICS. Came back... went tuition... came back... Desperately tried to focus on learning "ting xie"(CL spelling) that will be on Thurs(it's GRADED btw). This time, it wont be as easy as the past two times. There will be fill in the blanks, and we have to create sentences using the "Cheng Yu" they will give us. We are so pitiful. PLUS, I had always been bad at Chinese..... T.T OMG I am SO gonna flunk.... T.T OH YEAH. I'M GONNA PUT ON BRACES TMRRW. AND I HAVE TO SKIP SCHOOL. IT'S IMPORTANT, NOT FOR "PERSONAL BEAUTY". MINE IS A SPECIAL CASE, YOU KNOW. Why it is a "special case"? It's CLASSIFIED. ALL SPECIAL CASES ARE.

Fine... I know it's Sat, but... here's what I did yesterday!!! Hmm... Went to school, had a Lit mass lecture. And I recieved my passage-based test 3. It was HORRENDOUS!!! I did... well... kinda badly... HEY. I NEVER EXPECTED DAWAN TO BE THE QUESTION. So yeah, boo hoo. T.T After that was PE. It was a total horrific lesson. I learnt that I run the slowest in the class.... so I was like lagging WAAAAAAAY at the back.... T.T I hate 'Physically demanding activities okay? I said it in my profile... Afterthat was EL.... then our once-in-a-week 1-hr reccess!!!*Cheers* Umm... After a little bit of snacking, Me and Miaw played badminton. We arent pro at it btw... We borrowed the rackets from school and I brought along my feather shuttlecock from home!!! We played for like, 20min until Maan and Ner(2 of our PSLs) came to join us!!! And... I was late for Drama... again. We learnt about low, middle and high positions and still pictures this week. Mr Adrim will give us a situation(eg. a beach, a forest,...), and we have to make use of guestures, low/middle/high positions to portray an object according to the situation.(eg. a coconut tree for the beach, a rabbit for the forest,...). So yeah, we had to "stand still" until Mr Adrim gives us the green light to go back. Next was Math... Went to com lab and used Excel to try to create a chart. Whee!!! Had fun(Kinda). Then... MASS PE. After 30mins or so of physical torture for the unfit population, I was drenched in sweat. And I knocked my head into a low "ceiling"(the area under the staircase )... Ow... T.T After that, En Le(MIKI!!!) and I went to visit KHS(our primary school). Our main purpose was for Choir! Miaw cant go coz she had Hockey... So yeah... We met our other ex-choir mates before going in. We were happily sharing our experiences in our current school. Saw Choir. Was overjoyed!!! After their lesson, some of our closer mates from choir stayed back a little while to "hang" with us. One of them was STEVIE!!!!(That's the name me and Erika gave him) Umm... Here are some pics that we took????

---Steve ---US!!! ---MORE US!!! ---En Le, Me, Erika

Oh, and on the way home(with Erika) we saw a vandalized bus stop roof. This pic is taken when I was on the bridge btw, so I DIDNT FLY TO TAKE IT. Apperently, it was smeared cement or dried mud. Then ppl used liquid correction tape to write stuff. Here:

---Vadalized bus stop roof

So yeah... After a PE filled Friday, my muscles are aching now... T.T

1st of April!!! The day of pranks. My definition of April Fools??? It is a day to do pranks, be all crazy and get scolded purposely. It's the only one day in a year to do that!!! Our class,(DEAR 1 EFFFF!!!), did pranks that actually worked on our teachers!!! YAY WE ARE SO SMART AND DRAMA-PRO. We attempted to prank.... four teachers. They are our Chinese teacher, 1 Wisdom's(the neighbouring class) History teacher, our EL/Lit/form teacher and our co-form teacher!!! Here is the process!
CL and 1W's Hist Teacher:
*5 min before break ends* Students from both 1F and 1W were running between classrooms(We were switching classrooms). Was rushing here and there, trying to find a seat. Poor Becky had no seat and was walking up and down the classroom. Vera told her to just "hover around" until the teacher comes. I found that funny. Soon, he came!!! We greeted him. *no signs of realization* We were all trying hard to supress our laughter. He was like:"Okay class! I have a test for you today. Why are you all smiling? Cant wait for the Spring test?" He started to count the paper. We, relunctant to do the Hist test for the Wisdomers, shouted "HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!" and started running out of the class. Then he said:"Where are you all going?" OMG HAHA. PLAN SUCCEEDED!!! For our CL teacher... she claimed that she long knew.... T.T
Our EL/Lit/form teacher:
Before Miss Chan came in to the class, we all took out our Science stuff. Marilyn went to correction tape the time table and wrote "Science", in case she went to look at it. When she came in, we were all:"Miss Chan, now is Science!" Then she said:"Really? Goodness! Okay bye bye." and she walked out of the room.*no sign of realization* We exposed the trick and stopped her from going any further. Apparently, she was embarassed about it... ANOTHER SUCCESS!!
Our co-form teacher:
About 1.30(halfway through CME period), we started to pack up. She was confused, and Miss Chan told her that we were going for CIP(It's a lie, of course).*no sign of realization* When some of us already carried our bags, Miss Chan revealed it!!! She looked flustered and started "whacking" Miss Chan. SUCCESS!!!!!
So yeah, if it isnt funny to you, too bad. The real life experience was WAAAAAAAAY better. I was litterally laughing while typing these incidents. To Faithains, HADN'T IT BEEN A WONDERFUL APRIL FOOLS'????!!!!! XD The best 1st of April in my life ever. So far.....
