Simone's Blog Does The Cha-Cha

Carolling tomorrow! Okay, I do admit I'm not the least excited about singing Christmas songs because I'm actually a boy in disguise and I'm undergoing voice breaking so I can't reach high pitches! GAKKKKK!!!!!!

Kidding, kidding! Goodness knows what got me so high :( But I still love Mr. Santa Clause and happy singing kids on the loose. It's the season to be jolly, FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!

Merry Early Christmas everyone! No matter how pissed or frustrated you are, smile for Christmas! Even if it means, on the verge of being an exploding saliva bubble, what's it worth having wrinkles and creases on your pretty preeeeeeeeeeety face?

You're smiling arn't you? That's more like it :D

Hello hello hello!

Sorry, I have been back for the past two week but haven't blogged anything. Actually, I was sick on the third day at Hong Kong and I still am sick. Yes, you can imagine how horrid it was touring wonderful Hong Kong having a slight fever, headache, whooping cough and flu.

I'm still a little giddy now and not liking this any bit. Anyway, watch "Happy Feet" if you can okay! It's really very nice :D

P.S. Don't bother checking my blog constantly because I doubt I'll blog in a very long while :( Wait till I recover first yep!

Job Attachment was definitely the highlight of the month! Now, I look forward to more Job Attachments at The Cocoa Trees at VivoCity instead of Hong Kong!

First Day was at the office which was very far away from my house so I wasn't too excited about it. Was grouped with two super great people, Peiqi and Veronica. I was under this person called Aunty Celeste and I swear, she's super funny and cute! The only disadvantage being under her is that she gives me all her paperwork to do. Haiyoh.

Second Day was also at the office but after lunch, we went to VivoCity for our attachment! My other friends from other groups who went to Vivo for their attachment said that we would be seeing a "cute guy at Giordano". HAHAHAH. I nearly choked on my chicken rice lunch. Apparently, almost all of them like him very much (HA HA!). When we got there, Peiqi was also very smitten by him so we labelled him- Peiqi's Cute Guy. But he's quite hardworking lah, I must admit, not like me and Veronica who just slacked away most of the time. No wait, Peiqi was more charismatic then!

Third Day was the last day :( Peiqi was sick and couldn't come to see her cute guy at Giordano so Daddy sent me and Veronica there. We ended up laughing a lot at stupid things like the guy in charge of The Cocoa Trees whom Veronica spotted, digging his nose away. He's called Dig-Nose now :D And we kept laughing at how he was stoning and slacking away by going over to Giordano to buy office wear and coming with nothing back! In the morning, we laughed at this Fu Ning or whatever-his-name-is guy who shouted: "Wo Shou Bu Liao Le!" meaning, "I cannot take it!" (in Chinese) then proceeding to walk out of the shop and never coming back.

Veronica saw the cute guy and said: "Why is he wearing the same shirt and why does he look uglier today?!" Then when I questioned her why his looks mattered a lot, she rebutted back saying: "I want him to look cuter because we're going to see him all day!" Seems like he's attracted quite a number hasn't he!

But of course, there are more jokes but jokes aside, I just want to thank the people at Cocoa Trees for the amazing experience and memories. Though it was like a few days there, I definitely had a superb time! I want to apply to work at Vivo again after O' Levels :D Especially with staff like Dig-Nose, the two Job Attachment girls who joked with us, the two guys who were always getting bullied and Aunty Yvonne who helped us a lot :) And thank you to Mrs. Esther Loo who gave me this chance! I'll be back, that's for sure! :D

Let there be LIGHT... not.

LIGHT stands for Living In God's Holy Truth and it's some activity organised by my church. I tell you, I was force to go for that. It's not that I don't want to take part in religious activities because I hate my religion (because I don't) but simply because there are people in there who piss me off like hell. You know, I do admit being an introvert. I only open up to people I can carry a conversation with but because of that trait, people in this LIGHT rubbish take advantage of me and only talk to me as a last resort.

Hypocritical people a.k.a Two-Faced freaks are tops in my Hate List. I'm not mean here but I'm just being down-to-earth and Miss Practical here. I don't talk much to people in my church because they don't talk to me but hey, I don't go around laughing at jokes that are between two people and not me; I don't try my earnest to make friends with everybody; I don't try to be someone I am not - Popular, Cool, whatever.

That person whom I'm blogging about definitely does not know who she is because she thinks she's so damn popular I suppose. I don't get angry with her all the time, honest. It's just that when someone has no one to talk to, it's only then where they come to you and act like you're their pal or something. Sorry, it doesn't work this way for me.

So much for Living In God's Holy Truth - The truth in knowing her true colours. Shit, every Sunday's going to be a big, fat TORTURE.

2006-11-16T06:55:00.000-08:00

What the freaks is wrong! Every time a holiday or something great is coming up, something BAD has to always happen and most of the time, I'm always down with a kind of sickness. This time, it's a COUGH. And it's not those phlegm-ish coughs you get where you can just spit your spit somewhere; It's a DRY cough. So that means you can cough like nobody's business and you know it'll take weeks to recover.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH. I hate dry coughs, phlegm-ish cough and whatever kinds of coughs there is in this world. It was only 2 months when I recovered from my cough- the cough which resulted me to lose my voice for 5 stupid days! You know how hard it is to communicate through paper and pen and by gesticulating with hand signs that don't seem to make sense to anybody (except yourself, of course)!

I need prayers! Pray, people, pray! Help the poor fella who blogged this because her holiday to Hong Kong will be ruined. Blasted cough :(

2006-11-14T23:46:00.000-08:00

I'm blogging because I'm extremely bored :( But knowing that Hong Kong's screaming for me in 2 weeks time, I'm a happier kid.

If you're feeling bored like me and you have nothing much to do on the Internet, go check out http://www.lifebeforedeath.org.sg/ whenever you've time to spare. I've been wanting to check out that site for a very long time but I was never free enough. Now I'm there :D Like finally.

Maybe it's just me being overly emotional but you should go watch the video blog of Mohammad Abdooh's life before death video. It's really sad to know you might just be the next victim of some sickness and that you only have a limited time before you go. It's even sadder because people like me never like to plan ahead and always take things for granted. I think I might just die without leaving behind a (HAHAH) legacy right!

I don't know why people are so sensitive of this subject on Death. I find it pretty irritating when people stare at you while you rant on about your point of dying and scold you because they think that Death is a taboo thing. We're all going to die anyway so why be so squirmish over it?

So if you're not the least afraid of hearing about what life before death's all about, go visit the website. It's not like it'll kill you or something, I promise.

2006-11-13T19:34:00.000-08:00

I can't wait for Job Attachment and holiday to Hong Kong this month! It's probably one of the best things that will happen this year... to me, that is.

But I have to warn you all, I won't blog at Hong Kong since I don't have a laptop. Also, there will definitely be a chunk full of pictures during my stay there but I won't be able to post them on a daily basis! When I come back, I'll definitely post them but not at one shot of course :)

Sorry if this blog bores you because I only had one intention, that is - To entertain myself.

But if you change your mind about my blog, then do come back, especially when I have pictures of my holiday at Hong Kong!

Lastly,
GOOD LUCK TO DIAN AND WEN LING AT THE MANILA GYMNASTICS COMPETITIONS!

2006-11-09T06:31:00.000-08:00

Sorry for not being able to blog for such a long time. I just happen to not be in the best of moods. Oh and in case you were thinking, "Must be that time of the month again", then you're wrong and I'll show you why NOW.

For starters, I'm missing tomorrow's lessons (Chemistry and Math) for what? SEA Games Trials. If you have been reading my previous blog post, you would have already known that I'm not the least keen in joining such a trial that would not lead me to a promising future nor help in any way in terms of academic success. My red marks are at stake and I can't possibly slog my guts out for gymnastics next year.

Ironically, my kaypoh ears found their way to Form Teacher and Teacher-In-Charge of Rhythmic Gymnastics Mrs. Julia Yeo's words of 'wisdom' - "You should have a sense of responsibility." I don't mean to be rude but training from 9am to 5.30pm is atrocious! And have some sympathy for me please for I have no interest whatsoever in whatever SEA Games competition. Sorry, the word 'DEDICATION' does not exist in my dictionary.

Proceeding on, I don't even know why my sister has the skill of getting on my nerves all the time. Let's just call her Momo (the famous catch-phrase from Korean drama Kim Samsoon). Momo loves to bathe only at night, approximately 8pm. Momo purposely puts her unwashed feet on the table in order to piss me off. Momo likes talking loudly when she knows I'm listening to music. But what Momo really loves is rubbing salt in my wound by saying I'm too lousy for gym. Job well done, Momo. You've hit the nerve spot-on.

Tommorow, SEA Games Trials and then after, I have a English Literature course from 6.30 plus to 8.45pm. Can you believe I'm actually missing my all-time favourite Korean Drama Goong (Princess Hours) to appreciate poetry?!

I figured I have released enough steam for now. On the brighter side, I'll be having Job Attachment at VivoCity! And I'll be going to Hong Kong to pig out! Hopefully, Momo doesn't fling her stinky feet around there :)

2006-10-30T20:40:00.000-08:00

Sorry all, I just had to get this off my chest. It's bothering me like mad.

SEA Games Rhythmic Gymnastics Trials are up soon and my coach (whom I always badmouth a lot) actually chose me to go. She asked Yongs too but she didn't want to go. I'm confused as to why she had to pick me! I mean, she knows very well that I HATE her and that I always sit at the corner, not making an effort to train! Why did she give me that chance?! Fine, I'll admit that I'm rather touched because I know someone else deserves this chance more than I do.

Initially, I sms-ed my gym mates Manda and Ros that I'll go for the SEA Games Trials with them but I changed my mind and sms-ed my junior that I didn't want to go after some sensible thinking but.. IT WAS TOO LATE! Argh!

So now I have to go for the Trials because I think too slowly. I really don't want to go. I mean, not that I'll get picked to represent Singapore or anything but if there is any trainings or what not, I won't have time to study! And, I'm near bottom in class. Beat that.

Hopefully, I won't get elected. I do love gymnastics but SEA Games? No thanks. I'll stick to other means of physical fitness.

2006-10-30T05:14:00.000-08:00

I went to Orchard Road today with Mom, looking high and low for what? A pair of white shoes. No sandals or slippers or sport shoes! So I thought maybe ballet pumps okay? I searched the WHOLE vicinity for those shoes till my mom brought me to Isetan and there, white shoes right smack in front of my face. First time and found it already?! But later I found out they didn't have my size (Yes, my footsies' too big) so I got this:-

I know what you are thinking! It doesn't look like it'll fit me right? I think it's OBIANG meaning old-fashioned besides the ballet-pump shape and the gold exterior :) Pretty satisfied overall!

Why does Korea have to be so ruddy AWESOME?!!!! (Sorry Des, just had to use that word!)

I mean, Korea is famous for almost everything! Korean dramas, Korean guys, Korean girls, Korean food like Kimchi and nuclear weapons?! Goong! Kim Samsoon! Kim Sun Ah! Ryeo Won! Hyun Bin! Joo Ji Hoon! Kim Jeong Hoon! And RAINNNNNNN! Why they so famous one :D

Bollywood Marriage Proposal

2006-10-28T21:15:00.000-07:00

CLICK TO SEE THE DAMN FUNNY VIDEO!

I found this super hilarious video on Yahoo Singapore featuring a 'Bollywood-Style Marriage Proposal'! You know what? I think it's featuring two SINGAPOREANS because the partner of the guy is a Chinese!

My first reaction when watching this show was - "CHEESERS! This guy is funny!" Then proceding to bursting out into fits of laughter. The first part of the song was pretty catchy but the middle part was killing me with the resounding EHHHHHHHHHHH voice of the video. (I was wearing ear plugs).

Still, though I found it rather cheesy and would very much prefer the classical, traditional way of proposing, don't you think he deserves the credit? Look at the different shirts he wears! The different venues! And how much effort it probably took him to do up the whole video! Commendable!

Something tells me he got the girl in the end :)

2006-10-26T22:46:00.000-07:00

I'm heading to Hong Kong for 5 days! Though seriously, I can't remember the exact days, I promise pictures okay!

I'm watching Korean Drama Sangdoo now! Shucks, I keep talking about Korean dramas. By the way, I do not plan to keep blogging about Korea-related matters so don't worry :D My parents promised to let me and my sister go to Korea next year, after Prelims and O' Levels (YAY YAY YAY!). Besides that, there's so much going on this whole month and next month.

I'll be having a Job Attatchment at some chocolate shop? AND, I have to be properly attired in simple office wear. What the?! Office wear?! What's that!

I have a retreat this Saturday (which I know I'm going to hate) and I definitely do not want to go but I'm forced to or else I can't get confirmed. Well, if you don't dig this part, it doesn't matter! I'll elaborate more on my next post perhaps!

Then in 1 week's time, I'll be having the actual confirmation where you will be shocked to see me draped in white. I'll be in this grossly looking WHITE blouse paired with a WHITE skirt and with WHITE shoes. Oh shoes! I haven't bought that yet! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH :(

Soon, all these events will result in having a more colourful blog (hopefully)! More pictures, less talk coming your way!

ahn nyong i kah seyo! :D

2006-10-24T08:12:00.000-07:00

Since I'm feeling some what of... itsy bitsy nicey nicey today, I'll blog on Mr. Joo Ji Hun a.k.a Shin Goon in Goong (Princess Hours).

Apparently, this fella with a pissed off face has made Tina go ga-ga over him! Wah, this guy is power man! Look! The pissed off face!

Then... TA-DA! The happy smiley face which I personally prefer :)

Oh and see that white fluffed-up bear on the chair? (Pun not intended) Alfread completes the picture! What a sweet-looking bear :D

Now, I only had 30 minutes to use the computer and I've used up the half-an-hour just to do up this 'Tina-Loves-Joo Ji Hoon' post! Maybe I'll put up more pics of him on my blog but it depends you know! Wink wink! ;)

And if Joo Ji Hoon comes to my blog (HAHAHAHAH, wishful thinking), Tina would most probably want me to tell YOU, Mr. Joooooooo, Saranghae! Typical Tina who even bothered to find out his chest size. Haiyoh. :D

2006-10-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

I'm going to play villian here on this post because I really need to voice out my very HONEST opinion on my sister, Vanessa Cheng.

Right know, I'm blogging with wrists and arms off the table because my sister didn't bathe till seven (like she always does) and left all her morning/afternoon stickiness all over the table, speakers, mouse and keyboard! If you were here, you would see me typing meagerly tip-tapping my fingers on the sticky what-do-you-call-this buttons on the keyboard with a tissue paper between the mouse and my palm. Oh shoot, even the chair she placed her gross butt on is irking me out. Can someone volunteer to teach my sister Anne Vanessa Cheng how to ruddy bathe?!

I was watching Goong and I discovered she was sitting behind me with her two STICKY feet beside me. Like what the hell?! Dude! There's a thing called being POLITE and not spread your legs like you're giving birth or something! Goodness.

End of the rubbish complaining. On a happier note, I'd like to add that I passed my Physics exams! Yeehawwwwww!

P.S: If there's anyone of you who are failing or have been failing this whole while, don't give up okay! I've been failing Physics tests for the entire year yet I passed my Physics exams! And not on the dot too (surprisingly)! Go! Go! Go!

Anyway, school's going to be human torture tomorrow. Imagine all those plastic people who dare not show their true identities. I don't know, I'm still dreading school.

Enough said, I really need a good wash. My hands and wrists are suffering, and not to mention my poor butt. My sister is... argh, no comments! I give up!

2006-10-14T22:35:00.000-07:00

I guess I should be happier. Well, thank you Des, that really cheered me up :)

I'm going out to get a hair-cut! But it's not some fashionista's style, just cut and go lah! I'm seriously friggin' scared for Prelims and O' levels. Though I'm just Sec. 3, Year 2006's ending soon! I'll be a Secondary 4 student next year! Haiyoh...

I've been hearing a lot of people getting really good points for their past O' Level results and Prelims like single digit?! Lucky toots. I swear, if I were ever that smart, I'd shave my head bald and parade about Singapore!

But for now, good luck to the Sec 4's this year! I don't want to imagine myself having to study A. Math. Oh goodness, A. Math. DIE DIE DIE :(

2006-10-14T07:41:00.000-07:00

(THIS IS AN 'EMO' POST)
Don't read it if you're a down-to-earth, pratical hillybilly!
Turn back NOW!

I don't know what's up with seeing happy people all day. It just results in me asking myself, "What so great about today huh?" and shruging it off as quickly as the question ends. I can't seem to see anything happy about my life for starters, school.

School
I was forced into being a student of St. Nicks. I don't blame my parents for it 'cause I think they made a better decision but I'm not even happy there most of the time. It's not any impending stress, whatsoever. I guess it's the friends who revolve around me, who start treating me like I'm some Plan B (the back-up plan); Who treat me like I'm non-existent and who stick to people who are either popular, famous etc. I don't understand why friends must fake humour in everyday conversations and try earnestly to make others laugh. Everything and everyone's so alien and plastic there.

Home
My sister and her ever-flowing stream of vulgarities, my mom being overly naggy, my dad not really caring about my studies and all. My maid just had to make things worse by being like some immature teen by telling me: "Aunty's going to Belgium! Not going to work here already! You want me to stay? Huh? Want or not?" Ha ha ha, funny I never hesitate to stare and say, "Aiyah, up to you lah."

Catechism Class
What's with the popularity bit? My friend thinks I'm popular because almost everyone knows my name. Actually, they remember my name because it sounds very un-Singaporean okay? How many 'Simone-s' do you get in Singapore?! AND! There's this guy who thinks he's ruddy popular and amusing so whenever his group presents, he goes up and starts acting like a numskull who ... argh, who am I to judge anyway!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's kinda a lot to complain about but I guess I've got my fair share of joy like my trusty piano and friends. Sadly, I just can't figure why Earth's beings have to be so artificial in character; It's just not cool, get it?

2006-10-13T02:44:00.000-07:00

Alrighty! So today is Friday and we had the school organising some 'Reflections' activity with Father Simon and some other Mission people. Lest you have no idea as to what the terms "Father" and "Mission" mean, it's just religion-related terms from Catholicism.

I haven't been on a spiritual high since the Confirmation Class Retreat a few months back and I'm really glad the feeling's returned. I even had Confession today! Now arn't I good :) Nawh, it's thanks to good ol' Desiree that I agreed to go for Confession in school :)

I learnt much about youths nowadays (and how most of us are turning society into havoc) and come to a self-realisation of not being appreciative towards my parents and yes, my sister. All I must say is that God has made me a better person despite all my academic flaws and fallacies. Though school's a complete knock-out physically and mentally, thank goodness for God and Church.

You may be thinking, "Aw, what the heck are you sounding all prophetical", but I never really noticed how much religion could be a vital factor in my life. Unbelievable but I can't wait for Catechism Class tomorrow!

Goong :)

2006-10-11T05:14:00.000-07:00

Goodbye Kim Samsoon and hello to Goong!

In case you're still oblivious to what I'm blogging about, I'm referring to the broadcast of Korean Drama "Goong" or better known as "Princess Hours" on Channel U.

I'll be honest here, I don't know their names but I can only say, it's really worth watching! I don't watch because of "eye-candies" but it's amusing and the sets are elaborate and amazing! Goong is not some sappy Korean drama that makes you want to switch channels! Plus, the chemistry between the two (the 2 people in the middle of the photo) is excellent!

What did I tell you! :) And wait! There's more! Take a look at these! Now arn't they a cute bunch :D

Utter cuteness :) Go watch it if you can! And by the way, I just did :D (Credits to MDC)

Ice Skating!

2006-10-10T02:01:00.000-07:00

I went Ice-Skating today! :D

Okay, fine - It's not too much of a big deal anyway but it's a first-time for me! I have never worn ice skates, or skated on ice ever! Beware, it's a relatively long post so you might choose to turn away if you don't have time to spare.

So entry fee was S$10.50 for 2 hours and S$2 for gloves. I thought, "Damn! It's so expensive! A movie would be better (sulks)" but why not? I mean, I have NEVER skated before what. Getting to walk on the floor with skates on was already a trouble for me so I knew I was in for a very, very hard time for the next 2 long hours.

I put my right foot on the ice and nearly slipped! So I started to get all panicky and gripped the arena perimeter really tight but I still fell anyway. Thank goodness for the people who helped support me - Manda, Dian, Peiqi and Jamie. I was so pessimistic about the whole idea of falling down and being surrounded by so many people who could skate bloody well but they actually fell down with me and encouraged me the whole way! Thank a lot guys :)

Later, my ankle started clicking away and it started to get super painful so I sat there for like 1 hour watching others skate around the ring. :( It was only when Manda looked closely till I found out I never tied my "skate-laces" properly! No wonder I kept losing my balance lah! So they encouraged me once again to try skating and it was better but still! I can't skate yet! I still need the arena perimeter! Went home with a bruise on my left knee and scar marks from the falls:-
Gross huh. Even though I ended up wasting 1.5 hours (and even more) by sitting down and still not being able to skate, I want to try it again! Even if it means knowing I might have to part with 10 bucks and more, I like the rush of adrenaline and I really want to skate WITHOUT SUPPORT! I must warn you first-timers out there though, you need to patient unless you're a really fast learner and learning how to roller-blade helps a lot (And no, I didn't pick up roller-blading). Maybe I'll ask my parents and cousins to celebrate my birthday next year by bringing me to the arena to try it out again! Hopefully, I can start skating on my own.

Oy! Try skating! Even if it means just falling down or losing your 'face' (like me), the experience is definitely worth it! And you learn to be less impatient! I swear, Ice-Skating has never looked this fun ever! :D

2006-10-05T18:06:00.000-07:00

Today is the wonderful English Lit exam! :D

Sadly, I haven't started reading any of the relevant notes and I'm NOT PREPARED! You know the Joy Luck Club book? It's one hell of a complicating novel. I can't remember names, I can't remember who gave birth to what daughter, who married who, what took place, whether they are Ang-Moh or Chinese. Damn :(

Hopefully, my creative juices (now don't get me wrong here) will flow and I'll be able to write an essay without experiencing any hand/wrist cramps during the exam! Hopefully I can OPEN my eyes like this --> O_O and be analytical (though I know that never happens).

Novels like the Joy Luck Club were never meant to be a joy to read :(

2006-10-03T00:07:00.000-07:00

Hello all, I'm back again.

I haven't been blogging due to the exams but I decided not to leave my blog to decompose by typing a post. I still have exams but it's not me to hide my nose behind textbooks and assesments all the time!

Anyway, I absolutely HATE teachers who swing their chairs in class especially during an exam! I was sitting right in front because during exams, everyone has to sit according to their index. number. So I was 'lucky' enough to sit right beside the teacher. DAMN! The teacher was swinging the roller chair the whole exam! I don't know her name but it's still making me flustered. (SCREAMS)

Mr. Choo, a chemistry teacher from St. Nicks whispered to her to stop swinging her chair because it would distract students (LIKE ME) during exams. Guess what her reply was?

"I WANT TO ROCK THE CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (whines the teacher)

Stop whining already! Now I really want a teacher to come across my blog and read THIS post! It's distracting, it's irritating and it's just not very civilised to swing your chair while ignoring stares from distracted students. That woman should NOT be a teacher.

I just had to bring this up because exams to a student, is something very crucial. You need concentration, even if it is a minor sum but here you have it, a teacher whom you have never heard or seen before strides into the classroom and places her very itchy backside on the roller chair AND starts to swing it with a frequency of 1 swing per 4 seconds. Total exam time = 2 hours. You do the calculations.

That female teacher who has short hair and big paunchy lips should seriously learn how to BEHAVE in class. Talk about students who cause teachers a headache.

2006-09-22T08:01:00.000-07:00

I was just doing some day-dreaming and wondering about how my life would end up and all. You know, I must admit that I'm not very bright or intellectual. I would consider myself as a below-average student- For Maths and Sciences that is. Other than that, I'm pretty alright.

Being a very indecisive person, I thought about the many schools I wanted to go in Singapore after the O' Levels. Believe it or not, I have considered Singapore Poly (http://www.sp.edu.sg) and even Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (http://www.nafa.edu.sg). Incredulous? Maybe. I knew I couldn't depend on a diploma for dance and I wouldn't get far but I have to make something clear:-

JC students are not smarter that Poly students!!!!!!

SCENE AT COUSINS' HOUSE

Me: "Where do you want to go after your O' Levels?"

Cousin: "Hwa Chong JC. Why?"

Me: "But why Hwa Chong? Why not Poly?"

Cousin: "Being in a JC means you're smart lah."

Really?! I've heard of people getting really low points and they still choose to go to a Polytechnic simply because you get hands-on experience and that it's more beneficial in future. Why beneficial? You know, I thought JC was for smart asses too, not until Mom told me that when her company hires people, they look for Poly students as first option, simply because they have more experience.

And more and more people say that being in a Poly = Having really bad grades. No offence here, but so what if you're in RJC? Does that guarantee you a secure job position in future? Does that make you a smarter student as compared to a Poly student?

For now, I'm heading to the Poly way. And I'm glad Peiqi, Desiree and Nicolette want to take the same road. After all, there is no NAPFA in Poly :D

2006-09-16T02:29:00.000-07:00

Kim Samsoon has ended and I LOVED the ending :D Sadly, no more Kim Samsoon.

I haven't been blogging due to September's End-Of-Year exams! I admit I haven't studied much and my mind's gone hollow due to stress and extra lessons after school. You know, people are like "I want to go to the top JC" but for my case (sadly), I'm more of the "I want to go Sec Four and not get retained!"

Okay, no more time to blog. I still have to go to church in 15 minutes time! Plus, I was sick this whole week WITHOUT A VOICE. :(

I'll be back... when September ends. (No, I don't like that song dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Went to Centrepoint yesterday for dinner!

Sorry readers of this sad black & white blog, I didn't bring my camera! The porridge was really good! And the presentation of the whole porridge was beautiful! (Darn that never-bring-camera habit of mine.)

Though the porridge was great, Mommy didn't buy me Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi lah! Stupid, stupid, stupid :( She's biased! Cause' Mommy likes 183 Club's Yan Xing Shu and he's not in that drama so she didn't buy it for me! I can read your mind okay! I know things!

I'll be posting some pictures up later! Meanwhile, stay tuned if you want chocolate chip cookies! And yes, you can pre-order them from me. It's for CHARITY, not for me! :)

2006-08-31T22:43:00.000-07:00

Argh, I'm so annoyed. The Internet's lagging :(

Furthermore, I'm watching my current favourite Taiwanese drama- Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi. What the hell lah.

I want to buy the VCD but I have no money, so I have to watch it on Youtube but now the Internet's lagging- HOW NOW BROWN COW :[

I think I might have to save some money for the VCD :(

2006-08-30T22:26:00.000-07:00

Today's blog post shall be on Kim Samsoon!

Now why do so many people think the boss is chao shuai? Shuai is handsome in Mandarin/Chinese. Almost everyone whom I talk to about Kim Samsoon, is bonkers over that evil greenie boss. Doesn't anyone like the funny and cute Samsoon?!

I know my mom likes the Korean show too. After scolding my sister and I for not studying hard enough, she switched the telly off and left the remote on the table. When we switched it on ourselves soon after she did that, Mommy was on stand-by, engrossed in the show. :D

Full House (starring Rain and Hye Gyo) can't beat Kim Samsoon in my opinion.

Thanks to Kim Samsoon on Channel U, I suddenly love Korean shows a LOT.

No, I don't like the boss okay! His name is Hyun-Bin if you want to go type his 'lovely' name in the Google search box. I like the kawaixxxxxxxxxx nehzxxxxxxxxxxxx Samsoon!

Hurry come, 10 pm! I want to watch Kim Samsoon in action. :)

2006-08-29T05:37:00.000-07:00

Korean and Taiwanese films are thumbs-up! :)

That's not my point (sadly).

My point is that I'm very happy that there are still existing kind gym teachers-in-charge. I'm talking about Mrs. Gurong.

Whenever we 'gymnasts' wanted to feedback to Mrs. Julia Yeo, she simply disregarded us. But Mrs. Gurong actually took the initiative to sit down and talk to us about it! She actually cared to find out why we were sitting here, how we felt about everything, what we wanted to do etc. Mrs. Gurong's the best :)

Tomorrow's the getting back of PPR. Report book if you want simpler terms.

I'm very very very well and mentally prepared.

I will not cry when I see another fail mark.

Darn the school. If St. Nicks speed up the momentum, students will end their lives willingly- students like me lah! :D

On a lighter note, I will be watching Kim Samsoon later on Channel U. (And no, I don't like the boss, thanks.)

2006-08-28T04:04:00.000-07:00

I'll definitely miss training with my juniors.

I'll definitely miss the "OY! HURRY TRAIN! STOP PLAYING LAH!" sentence. The good ol' sentence I never fail to say everytime whenever they start to play funny hand games.

It's never going to come back because Laoshi will never let me train with them ever. She gets so uptight and pissed whenever I laugh with them or when we joke about, doing silly things.

When Beverly showed me Ronaldo and his retarded face which looked strangely constipated (no offence Ronaldo fans) and made me laugh, Laoshi looked like I had kidnapped her daughter or something. She's jealous lah! :(

When the bunch of us went down to eat Pang Ah Choy's Orange Bowl Noodles, she glared at us. No, correction- She glared at ME. I saw! Why so jealous? Go give birth to your own kids lah.

There's something in this world that pisses me off besides grossly toilets with pee on toilet seats; That is- people who try too hard to make friends.

Zhang Laoshi is the PERFECT example.

Bravo, Laoshi, you've earned a name in my blog. A hundred times or so (not including other mentions in other blogs). I congratulate you. No, REALLY.

2006-08-25T07:35:00.000-07:00

You know what I cannot stand?

I can't stand people who always say things like:- "I can't go, I'm not free" and people who push almost all the work to me. I'm not saying they don't do anything but I do a hell lot more.

It's GROUP project dears! What's a group project without a co-operative group?! I know you all have tuitions and whatsover nonsense but I have my own schedules too! And I'm the stupidest, the one with the lowest grades, the one who isn't competing and has not bloody leadership roles in this group so why can't you find time to help me out?

I collect the seed funding by MYSELF.
I collected 50 shirts and carried 4 bags by MYSELF.
I contacted the sponsors MYSELF.
I have to do the raising of capital MYSELF.
I have to put up with people like you all MYSELF.

I'm not unwilling but I'm sick of hearing all of your "I'm not free" cliche line. You all want to give this project up but I don't. You're all hoping to get over and done with this but I want to carry on. This is for charity you know?! Are you just going to leave this alone plainly because you don't give a damn?

I'm going to work this out myself.

I'm going to make sure the Charity benefits.

And you bet I'm going to do something about this. Even if it's alone, I'll gladly do it- MYSELF.

2006-08-24T08:25:00.000-07:00

My name is Simone and I know my blog looks boring, sounds boring and IS boring. :(

What to do? White is a basic colour and Black appears to be the worst colour choice for a blog (in my opinion) because your fonts in light colours will be glaring, resulting in the Cross-Eyed Disease.

I plan to put pictures in my blog- really! However, due to sheer laziness, I do not carry my camera around or bring it to school. I know, someday, I'll regret this action of not carrying my camera around because I might possibly bump into some famous people but not have any camera to take a photo with them. HA HA HA :)

My blog = ANCIENT
The only colours you'll ever see is BLACK and WHITE. Pathetic and Boring. You hate it and I hate it too. It looks like a black and white picture of the past. I want to change it too but so far, I don't think I have the patience to find the "Ultimate Blogskin".

Sorry to disappoint you, readers of this very sad blog, because my blog has 0% colour, 100% crap posts, but I assure you, I will get the pictures. I will, I can, I must!

Keep looking out! You may be lucky one day. Amen!

2006-08-23T06:32:00.000-07:00

10 random things :-

1. I like Chinese songs.

2. I want to cut my hair!

3. My level of knowledge is negative (insert no. here).

4. Doing Math homework is rather fun :D

5. To me, snails will always be creepy.

6. Gym will always be the best sport on Earth :)

7. I DO get emo. when people talk about height.

8. I really, really, REALLY hate Coaches - Teng and Zhang

9. My sister is WEE-ERR-DDDD

10. I want to go see Russian's training for gym!

This is what happens when someone bo liao like me turns out to be a little random.
I want to pass overall this term :( I'm putting in effort in completing my Math homework, Mrs. Yeo! I don't usually do them! But sadly, no one seems to see the effort I try to put in leh.

My good friends are still stuck in that Diary Farm Leadership Camp thing! I bet they're having a jolly good time there except for dear Veronica who's missing "My Lovely Samsoon" and her Kim something Joon. I don't know his name lah! It's something like that anyway :)

AND........... I failed Physics! Darn! I studied hard for that test you know! Mr. Imran's fault lah! He's always scaring people with his super loud voice. I swear, if he continues screaming, he's going to get fungus in his throat and cause the Physics students a heart attack.

I'll be blogging on Friday!

2006-08-20T07:20:00.000-07:00

I'm watching a video of some ming xin on YouTube! Oh my goodness, the hosts and the ming xin are super hilarious! I was practially covering my mouth to stiffle my laughter and my mom thought I was retarded! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I'm still watching it now! Watching funny things makes me high! And some of the people there laugh funny too :)

YouTube's the best thing on the Internet. Thank goodness for YouTube :D

2006-08-18T20:13:00.000-07:00

Monday: Chinese Spelling
Tuesday: Rubbish training AGAIN
Wednesday: Chemistry Titration Practical

Who likes Ma Ya Tang! My group is planning to sell! But I don't think St. Nicks people like Malt Candy do they? It's almost an every-year kind of affair what!

Oh and Wednesday is the day where most of my nice nice peng you leave for Leadership Camp. :( The class's going to be quiet again. I'll break a burette again on Wednesday like I did on my first trial of Titration.

I think it's time to tune in to Cheena music :)

P.S (To Grace and Flora)
LAOSHI'S ACTING CUTE AND FUNNY AND COOL! I think she really likes you all and want to be bestest friends with the two of you :D

2006-08-16T02:13:00.000-07:00

Flora, you must compete okay! Don't grow as tall as me. I know you can compete next year! :D Jiayou! And yes, I'll ya your back if you train harder hor!

Gym is terrible. But I still do idolise Irina Tchachina! I just don't like this height nonsense in St. Nicks. Stupid school, stupid gym, stupid coach.

I think I just offended the school, the gym and definitely the irritating coach.

Wah piang, call me tall for what! I'm only 169! Fine, maybe that's tall but hey, she's short for someone her age hor! Still want to criticise me tomorrow's training? No can do- I'm going to rest at home after I hurt the sides :)

Fucking height issues

2006-08-15T04:21:00.000-07:00

Look, I didn't ask to be taller than average; I didn't want to be in B Division in 2005 because of my height; I can't help it if I'm just tall alright! So what the f-ck is Zhang Laoshi (so-called coach)'s problem?!

First she told me to warm up with the Sec Ones and Twos and then she bloody shouted at me for being with them because I was too tall (and I ended up being chased to the back). The damn annoying shit thought it was so ruddy funny that she laughed at her own lame 'joke' while I was cursing her under my breath. (This happened today during training)

I have absolutely NO damn it idea what's going on in her friggin retarded mind. She kept staring at me and the other Sec One non-competitors during gym training today. Like what the shit's your problem lah. I can't compete, I admit that okay? You don't have to glare with those pen knife slit eyes of yours at me. F-ck height issues.

This f-cking gym politics has been bothering me for ages. Does it make sense for someone to not compete because of your height? Once again, I emphasise that I F*CKING CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M TALL so why do you still have to constantly bring up that shit issue?!

So you think being tall is cool huh; You think it's bloody fun breathing fresher air than the shorties? Now you know how it is being overly tall. What the hell- Zhang Laoshi, Mrs. Yeo--> I DIDN'T ASK TO BE TALL.

2006-08-14T05:31:00.000-07:00

Same birthdates, same characteristics- what next?! Am I Alicia number 2?

Oh well Alicia, nothing to be sad of because you know I look old outside but I'm young at heart :D

Is it the Chinese part? Is it! English songs are losing it's rhythm and beat. People end up liking the same band- The Click Five; The same shows- High School Musical; The same love- Football etc. Oh great, ABC Dj's advertisement's playing Click Five's 'Good Day'. Very very funny.

I'm not sticking around listening to Click Five or High School Musical or songs with lyrics that don't make sense (for this year that is). I'm sticking to pop/rock Cheena songs.

Eh, it's Hua Yu Cool what :D

2006-08-12T20:06:00.000-07:00

Something's not right! I'm starting do not be myself!

- I'm starting to actually study Physics (infront of the computer)
- I THINK I'M STARTING TO LIKE CHINESE SONGS
- I don't drink Bubble Tea as often as last time :(
- I like Chinese dramas than English ones
- I did not touch the piano for 2 months already! :(

Why Chinese, why?!

No, I don't have a Taiwanese idol lah- I have a Russian one but I can't seem to like any Russian pop tunes. I still can't believe I like Chinese songs more. Why like that!

Oh well, must be the typical Singaporean characteristics :)

2006-08-08T01:14:00.000-07:00

Celebrated National Day in school! It was quite fun considering the fact that so many people sang in unison. Headed off to J8 to pass time :)

I LIKE CLICK THE MOVIE!

I swear (though I can't) that it's the best show you'll ever see this month! It's ruddy hilarious and very touching at the same time. Especially the part when Adam Sandler's character kept rewinding the scene when his dad said "I love you" to him. I almost cried but what the heck, I decided ta-han and ended up with silver-ish eyes :)

Go watch! Go watch! Go watch! But it's a little sick so don't say I didn't warn you! :) Happy Early National Day!

2006-08-05T17:43:00.000-07:00

I remembered a question my teacher asked me like quite recently?

"What exactly do you want to be when you grow up?"

I'll tell you truthfully, I've never given any thought to this question since Primary 3 and now that I'm in Secondary 3, I have NO idea. :(

Then she asked me what I wanted to accomplish this year. I told her I wanted to accomplish a LOT of things but they always ended up somewhere near failure.

Here are the things I wanted to accomplish this year:-
1- Grow shorter
2- Pass all my tests (hopefully)
3- To be able to hold the CIP thing successfully
4- For the YMCA project to be a success
5- To be able to improve on my Math
6- To be able to pass Chinese and be happy
7- Finish teaching my juniors all the routines and
8- Make sure they compete next year

I guess I don't want them to end up like me. Anyway, I'm off to Carrefour later to prepare for tomorrow's CIP. Hopefully, the old folks there won't suffer from food poisoning :) Zai Jian!

2006-07-27T06:03:00.000-07:00

English Literature test is over! Down with Physics S.P.A practical. Fish lah :( I suck at practicals. Screw Chemistry for it's Titration and screw Physics for a very discouraging teacher and for my incapability. I can't plot and draw a gradient for nuts. Plus, I panic like mad during experiments because I know something will go wrong. DARN SCIENCE.

Wish my good luck for tomorrow's practical; I'm seriously need all the luck I can get.

Stupid LYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-07-26T05:08:00.000-07:00

HELLO FLORA!!!!!!!!!
Flora tagged my board?! How did you know my blog anyway! :) I can stand all of your craziness? Aiyoh, so cute :)

Anyway, I'm studying for a English Literature test now. Stupid stupid stupid Physics S.P.A is on Friday and I can't draw a graph properly. I HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME FREAK HERE>

Somebody was irritating today. Like REALLY annoying. She got damn angry with me and she refused to tell me what reason. When I apologized, she STILL refused to tell me. I walked up to her and with a swipe of her hand, she chased me away. WAH LAO AH. Does she think I'm her boyfriend or what! Am I supposed to like promise to take care of her everything and to respect whatever bloody decision she makes even though they're wrong?! If she ever gets a boyfriend (not like I can lah okay), I'll slap myself willingly 100000000 times! What stupid attitude and temper huh? And you say the three of us arn't doing anything. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? What's this "do the proposal"? A few LINES?! You call that DO a proposal?! What the FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF okay. I don't care if you're going to dao me or what because you're the one in the wrong and you seriously need to do some soul-searching FREAK.

Damn- I miss the teeny juniors I train :( Very noisy but never failing to make me laugh :D I NEED TRAININGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Pissed-off-day

2006-07-25T03:11:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not updating for i-don't-know-how-long years!

I was busy with loading music in my Zen Neeon and watching local tv shows and troubling myself unnecessarily and not doing my homework instead. I bet if Mrs. Yeo read this post, she would knock me left, right, up, down and centre with a pole of some sort.

Nothing much besides the fact that I have an English Literature on Thursday and Science S.P.A practical on Friday which is counted in the stupid O' Levels. I ALWAYS fail at practical. Why must they do all this HUH HUH HUH?! But on a lighter note, I passed Chinese! I got a 7/10 for my Chinese newspaper article! I'm not showing off (cause there's nothing to show off about) but I actually passed! Guess what Chen Yong Meng wrote on my paper:-

(TRANSLATION)
You have the ability to score higher for exams! Work harder!

I can score higher! And for EXAMS some more! If that happens, I swear, elephants would fly without wings. Damn, that will NEVER happen.

Mr. Imran (Physics teacher) was pissed today. Like REALLY pissed. He scolded us for not greeting him, for not bringing worksheets, for not doing graphs, for my small-scaled gradient, how unattentive I am and how I should be more dilligent being a Science rep. HAH.

Ms. Khor (sp?) was pissed because my class kept being overly relient on her too. And she never EVER mentions this! EVER!

Chen laoshi (the uncle mentioned above- HAHAH) said we're stupid. STUPID?!

Teachers put me down, parents put me down, tuition teachers put me down, friends put me down, I put myself down- I think I'm going to turn to ecstacy from severe depression- :D

2006-07-17T19:09:00.003-07:00

heya...i am ros....simone is feeling lame so i am helping her write somethg....

after ros's long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long post, simone asks PEIQI to write something.. simone was like " Peiqi help me post something on my OLD blog."

Now, Simone's blogging while Roslyn just punched me. I'm feeling revengeful so I'm going to punch her back!

and peiqi comes back after roslyn calls her to watch some SOCCER rubbish about.......
ROS:"IT IS SO NOT RUBBISH!"

peiqi is just feeling crazy now. roslyn just said,"peiqi i use your com ah."
peiqi says," ok."
ros says, "peiqi stop being lame."
then simone joins in and says, " peiqi i think you should have a blog, you're going to be singapore's no. 1 blogger!"

conversation ends.

now peiqi has something to say to the owner of this blog.

HELLO SIMONE! I FORGOT WHAT I WANT TO SAY. BYEBYE SIMONE! I WILL BE BACK PRETTY SOON!

Changed to a new template because the other one seemed overly pinky :) This one's no better but I like simpler layouts.

There's someone in confirmation class who's acting popular, desperately trying to make new friends and thinks that some guy likes her. Plus, she's a crowd-follower. I think that's very unnatural, don't you think? Why can't people just keep themselves real?!

P.S > If you're reading this post and you think I'm blogging about you, that proves you're guilty so it's got to be you :) I'm not divulging who the person is lest she whines about life's unfairness.

2006-07-15T21:58:00.000-07:00

Congartulations to SNRG :) You all did a great job!

Finals Day was a HECTIC day. I had to run all around the school just to look for the Sec Ones and Twos and ended up eating only one prata with Lee Yingchen! Headed down to Yishun Stadium and bitched like mad with Charmain and Matilda. Stupid gym politics made us pissed lah :( Anw, although the three of us weren't competing, I'm sure we had a super fun time like Matilda:-

Matilda: ZOOM
Me: What lah!
Matilda: Cherrie's music! The end got- ZOOM.
Me: -laughs- while Matilda ZOOMs away during Cherrie's tao

Charm: SO CUTEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Me: Huh? Who? Jolene ah?
Charm: No!! The small small girl with the big big head!

Anw, after the whole thing ended, I saw Lingyi!!!!!!!!!!! :D Her tao was like super hard lah. Esp. the throw-ribbon part because she almost missed but caught it in the end :) She was going on and on about her chenggong and shibais on the two mats like an agitated thing! I saw some other seniors like Ele and Michelle and Jasmin :)

Matilda, Charm and I are going to seriously get down to serious nonsense, esp. with Matilda and her clubs smash! Will blog again another time! And..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANGSAI AND NEEK!!!
I know it's kind of late but still, happy birthday!
