Hies!! I'm back again!
Now I know why safety belts are such an issue recently. You know the school bus thingy? FYI, people are debating on whether school buses should install safety belts. Pro: The children's safety can be assured. Con: Parents might have to pay more, and petrol prices are soaring, so bus drivers have to increase the bus fares.
Anyway, when me and my dad were going home, there was a minor jam. The car in front of the queue suddenly braked (for reasons unknown) and my dad nearly rammed into the behind of the car in front of us. As I didn't put on my safety belt, my face nearly smacked against the headrest of the seat in front of me. If I was seating in the middle at the behind seat, I might have been thrown all the way against the radio. So I have to make it a point to put on my safety belt in future.
I was watching 'Super Mummy' just now. Just for fun, since I have nothing better to do. They were showing a video about one of the contestants. She had organised a gathering for her ex-classmates. At this, I realised that I should write down a list of my classmates for the year, in case anyone wants a class gathering in the future, I will know if it's a prank or not.
My brother's getting his PSLE results this Thursday. I think my mom is more worried than my brother, because my brother's still playing computer games like any normal day :/ Frankly I'm also kinda worried too. He is my brother after all. Ah well.
I want to watch the AIDS show later at 9! OK bye!
P.S. Do any of you watch TARA 3 (The Amazing Race Asia 3)? Because my monitoress is crazy about it. Is it really that nice? Too bad I can't watch it. It's on some funny channel that my family doesn't subscribe to. If you do watch it, remember to tell me on the tagboard! :D

I just tried to create a Friendster account. I did create one, but it kept saying an error and I couldn't retrieve any of my contacts from my address book, or something like that. So I deleted it. Anyway, according to my friend, Friendster just lets the users posts pictures, not blog entries.
Oh man, I feel so hungry now, hungry for cup noodles! Wahaha! :D OK, bye! :)

Even though I'm watching TV ('Duo Mao Mao'), I'm still rather bored. OK, I'll write something:
During the KL trip, Mrs RW went with us. When we were waiting for the coaches to come, Mrs RW shared with us this interesting thing. It tests something like your psychological well-being. It requires a lot of visualising. Here goes:

1) Imagine a road. Consider whether if it's narrow or wide, and if it's windy or straight.

2) You walked along the road and saw a house. Imagine that house's exterior.

3) You look into the house through the window. Imagine that house's interior.

4) You left the house and continued your walk along that road. You see a river. How do you cross it?

Ready?

OK, here goes!

1) The road signifies your journey in life.

2) The size of the house shows your external character, like how you relate to people. If it's a small cottage (like what I imagined it to be), it means you're a quiet person who shy away from people. If it's a huge pent-house, it means you're friendly and outgoing.

3) The inside of the house shows your internal character, like what you are inside. I imagined a simple living room, with a TV, a coffee table and a sofa. Some of my friends imagined the interior full of flowers.

4) How you cross the river shows how you overcome a problem. Some will swim across, some will use a rope and swing across, some will cross a bridge. For me, I'll find stepping stones. If the river is a raging one, how can you jump in and swim??

It was quite interesting, isn't it? Hahas! Hope you enjoyed it! Bye!

So damn sorry for not blogging for so long!! :((
Kays, I'm gonna blog like crazy now.
About the KL badminton trip, it was super fun!! We sec ones are like, super bonded!! Love them like crazy. Seriously :D Hope they love me back. (Gosh, being so super thick skinned!)
The training there is SUPER TOUGH (actually it's just simple drills, just that it's faster)! I had to keep eating gastric pills, because I really cannot take it anymore. I came back with blisters and slight muscle aches. The aches were so bad during my stay that I had to hobble. Everyone in the team suffered the same. I have a total of five blisters on my toes! But they're gradually healing. Hopefully they recover before the next training next week... Putting aside the negative side of the training, it was rather beneficial. I realized my strengths and weak points in my skills. And one of the coaches there is rather good-looking...his dimple on his right cheek is so nice!! But he always corrected me... :I And his English is like...erm...you know what I mean... Okay I'm being super sick right now!
Well, an embarassing thing happened to me. Can you imagine?? I got lost in the shopping mall on the third night! But it's no surprise, since I'm not very alert about my surroundings. Anyway, after dinner at Domino's, I was following the others to Carrefour. I was half walking and half smsing. When I looked up, everyone disappeared. I called Michelle twice and we agreed to meet at Domino's. When I was making my way there I met six of my seniors, three of them sec threes. They asked me why I was alone and I told them I was lost, so two of them brought me to Domino's.
The first thing the sec ones did when they saw me was shouting "Where did you go?" at me. My first thought was like, "Why the hell didn't you look out for me and now you all are bloody shouting at me??" but of course I didn't say that. I just ended up crying. Who wouldn't do that after being lost in a foreign place? But I found out they went to Carrefour because Kathy wanted to buy ice cream, and they tried calling me a few times.
We went back to the hotel, only to find out that Theresa (Captain) had found out. I was like, shit, how did she find out? Everyone's gonna be in deep trouble if she tells the t-i-c. Besides, we got into trouble for being late all the time, so he'll grill us alive if he knows about it. To make matters worse, we heard all the sec threes and some sec twos are super mad at us and thought the sec ones abandoned me on purpose! Then everyone started thinking wildly and crying in me and Michelle's room, so we called Jo-Ann, Pei Yan, Celine Yan Ting and Kellie to come over and they comforted us by cracking jokes and laughing so loudly, even though it was 1 plus in the morning. They're seriously the BEST!!!!!!
Initially, we thought Alena, one of the two seniors who brought me to the sec ones, ratted on us. But she claimed she didn't, and she feels really bad because she knows all of we sec ones are hating her. So we're getting her a card and present to apologise. Anyway, we don't want to point fingers anymore. I still get the jeebies though, when I think of it. Not because of the process of getting lost (frankly, I can't really remember much. Thank goodness for my short term memory!), but thinking of everyone crying (especially Jynn) makes me shiver. I don't understand why are they crying, when I should be the one crying when we went to explain to the sec threes in Theresa's room. Well, I did cry, but that was because Jynn started it first!
Today is tiring but fun as well. My parents went to buy Nippon's Odour-less paint yesterday and now we've completed the main entrance and the master bedroom! The main entrance is Lily White and the master bedroom is Dusk, a nice, light purple. The study room and the bedroom is going to be blue, Clear Water (sounds like the Clearwaters from Twilight!! My gosh). I wonder how the remaining two rooms are going to look like in blue (I was the one who wanted blue)! Now very hungry and covered in paint. Waiting for KFC to hurry up with the delivery (even though we just ordered about five minutes ago).
OK bye!

Hies!! Me back!
We went to Queensway to buy my badminton bag. Finally I got one!! And it's Ashaway! Luckily, the shop where we went to was offering some discount. Buy a racket and they'll give a free bag, stringing and grip! Yay! :DD
I somewhat finished packing already. I can't really say it was a fun thing to do.
Tomorrow I cannot blog anymore, because I need to make sure I packed everything and try to finish my chinese homework.
Alright, got to go. Byes!

Heys! Sorry sorry sorry!! This blog has been so...dormant. (I prefer using the word 'dormant' to 'dead'. Sounds so scary.) I can't really use the computer because I have to start thinking of the things to pack for next monday's trip!!! Goshgoshgosh!!! At first it was weeks before I set off, but now it's only left 3 days!!
Ya la ya lah, I know I was mad and kept complaining about that making me miss the 6R class chalet. But now I'm so EXCITED!! Now I'm having some problems choosing which clothes to bring there. I got my own ideas but my mum keep insisting on hers. When I want to say mine, she gives me that impatient sigh, like as if I have to use hers. I don't like to wear yoga pants out of the hotel room! So sian. I also have to get a badminton bag, but I dunno where to get one. I bought a t-shirt, but it's not FBT, like what the others bought. But it's close to the design. So I guess that'll do.
I also wanted to buy a shoe bag, but since I'll be getting a badminton bag, I don't think I'll need a shoe bag. Plus, it's expensive. So I'll skip it.
I'm also waiting for Jynn to get me that piglet! It's same as Michelle's. I dunno if I should name it a male or female.
Kays, not to bore you with this trivial stuff. Byes!!
P.S. I may be blogging again this weekend. MAY only.

Hi! I'm back! I know this blog has been 'dormant' for 5 days. That's because I went to Malaysia to visit my grandparents. There's no Internet connection there, so I can't do any blogging.
I'll talk about my trip to Malaysia. My grandparents own a small shop selling basic amenities such as rice and beverages. We always take alot of snacks and beverages for free back home...hehe.
There's nothing much to do in the house, so we watched TV sometimes. And this morning I watched Doraemon! Very cute! Come to think of it, it has been a long time since I watched Doraemon. Today showed two episodes. One was Da Xiong whining about being bullied. So Doraemon gave him this thing that forms a loop which lets him grow older when he pushes a red button and younger when he presses a blue button. Liquid (according to the colour of the button pressed) appears on the ground and fills the loop. Da Xiong drinks the red liquid and immediately grew very tall, even his own mother could not recognise him! Everyone on the streets mistook him for a grown-up. However, as Da Xiong went out without a word, his mother was very angry and Da Xiong and Doraemon overheard her telling someone that her son was a huge disappointment, and that wrinkles and white hair were appearing as a result of her worry. To appease her (and to avoid punishment), Doraemon gave her a glass of the blue liquid to make her younger. But Da Xiong's mother wanted much more! The second one was about a marathon. The rest of the gang was practising very hard for it but Doraemon found Da Xiong watching TV at home! Da Xiong said that he was always last in marathons, so he did not bother to train. Doraemon gave Da Xiong this train-like thing that emits smoke, which enables him to run very fast, like a train. However, Da Xiong abuses his 'power' and uses it to finish his homework very quickly, and the smoke coming out from the train dirtied the neighbours' clothings. As a result, the neighbours came to complain to Da Xiong's mother. She was very angry and wanted to scold Da Xiong when they said they realized their mistake. Doraemon took back the train to Da Xiong's dismay. OK! I'm done. Phew! That was long.
Drats. I'm now down with a cold, because the air-con was blowing directly on my face last night! Luckily there's no training tomorrow, if not I'll go there with a big red nose!
