I blog as a form of catharsis, so I'm not usually that emo a person. I just rarely post happy events.

In reality, I sometimes wonder why we meet certain people and we dont meet others. had I been in another school, I would have met a different set of friends, a different set of teachers and classmates. I wouldnt have met Shermaine, Michele, Averil, Mavis and all my other good buddies I'd treasure all my life. So what puts us in that position we are in currently? Why are we the person I am? Why am I not Shermaine? Why is Shermaine not me? As I've once heard, I should delete the adjectives and I'd have to facts. So to bring it down to its basics, What does it equal to? Fate? God's will? Its all a confusing matter.

Its so weird. It appears that in every friendship, there are 4 stages, namely,
- the meeting stage
- the getting-to-know-you stage
- the on-great-talking-terms stage
- the forget-you stage
The meeting stage(Acquaintance) : Where a friend meets another. They are on polite talking terms, and speak only of general subjects.
The getting to know you stage : Where the friendship deepens and the friends get closer. They talk about things closer to their heart, ie. family, and their aspirations. This stage, the friends get to know most about each other.
The On great talking terms stage : The friends are able to communicate freely, and will say things without much thought. Their conversations are deep and reaches a point where the friends are able to talk about much more sensitive issues. This may go on for several months, or end in a heated argument which cannot be resolved.
The forget You stage : The saddest stage. Where a friend leaves behind another to go on to someone else. There is a lack of communication here and the friendship is now hanging by a thread. Only 1 party is interested in keeping touch while the other party is NIL. The NIL party may choose to move on to new friends and keep the current friend out of sight out of mind, or choose to move back to his/her old friends. New friends are silver. Old friends are gold.
This doesnt apply for all btw. Its just my perception.

Dear teacher...
I know you hate me. But you don't have to treat me the way you do. I feel sorry for my friends whom you've picked on. And for the trees you must have been cutting down the produce the large amount of homework you've loaded us with recently. Should I consider myself one 'victim' of yours, I couldnt be more wrong. Why do you perceive everyone sitting in the front row to be the worst? During CE class, you appear to be a very nice person. However when it comes to Emath, You have an entirely different personality altogether. i know that you are worried for our class. But I see that as no reason to flood our class with e math papers as if emath was the only subject that we take. As youo probably already guess, our class is staggering from the weight of the very stress itself, minus the extra load of the papers. I would like you to take into consideration others' thoughts and feelings.
Many a time, what you hear may not be what really happens. Misunderstanding. Then you blame the wrong person for something that person has never done. And here's the most painful part : You blame my Emath teacher who taught us last year, Mrs Wong, for things I may have forgotten. As much as i try to remember, it is certainly unfair to blame my teacher. She was the best teacher I knew.
I hope you understand our students complains and that students, too, have a right of way. In no circumstance are you given the permission to met out punishments which are against the students will.

1. It kills your self esteem if you do badly.
2. It kills trees.
3. It kills hope.
4. Everyone learns at a different pace. we, the students are spoon fed that amount of info whether or not they can swallow it or not. That's unfair.
5. Its a bad gauge. eg. The student can be sick on that day, or recently suffered a bad blow.
6. It creates sickness. eg. The students study so much to the extent that they neglect their own health. See, CCAs are put to a stop because of the exams. PROOF!
7. Students are put under a lot of pressure to the extent some may get a nervous breakdown.
8. Peer Pressure. Havent you realised that exam period is the time where friendship problems occur MOST often? Why? Because human nature states that we are GREEDY. So we push others down to gain a better head start for ourselves.
9. Teachers are stressed! From the marking after the exams AND the setting of the papers before.
10. Last but not least, Students are not learning for the sake of learning. They are learning for the sake of the exams. Which isnt a gd gauge. Please, Isnt there another way to test a student's ability and understanding?

It was a REALLY long ride to Pasir Ris from TPY. When we finally arrived at CARE centre, which was holding the sale, we realised that we were just one of the many volunteers who came, I wasnt expecting THAT much. Shortly after, we found our groupings. I was in LIMA, together with Michele, Rui Sing, Caroline, Estelle and Qarissa. I hope that's how you all spell your names :/ Anyhow, they were all guiders so I would have felt really REALLY out of place (that explains why I decided against going for lunch later on) if it wasnt for Michele, who, fortunately, minus-ed one of the reallys'. We broke up into 2 teams of 3 people each, So I went with Michele and Qarissa. I know Estelle badly wanted to go with Qarissa but they were nice and sacrificed that desire till later on in the bus. :) Thanks guys.
Ok. Lets say I've met most of Singaporean culture. The gd and bad. The worse and the better. The worst and the best.
The gd: I met someone who opened the door and gave us 2 dollars after i've said something.
The bad: I met someone who said, " No not interested. "
The worse: The person said, "Dunwant dunwant "before I finished saying stuff.
The better: "Sure! w8 a moment pls! "
The worst: someone actually said, "Nobody home! "I felt like shouting back" OMG! GHOST GHOST!! "
The best : the post-its were $2 each. " Here you go! * Gives me $5* " no its ok I dont have change! ":D
It was a minimum requirement of $16 which each volunteer had to collect. We all managed it well eh:)

How did I manage to get into almost every teacher's bad books?1 Its not like iam overly rebellious of sth. In fact, Iam not. I do their hmk religiously. I listen as hard as I can in class. I sound like a Guai Kia. But after all I do, I dont get anything except scolding and more scolding from teacher, directly and Indirect. 1st Its my emath teacher. Then its my english teacher. Then my SS teacher. How I wonder. Sigh...
Oh. Did I tell you I nearly fainted in class yesterday during physics? It was so weird. The feeling. Ah.. the clammy feeling of your skin curling up and your face breaking out in cold sweat, the sensation that your eyes are wide open yet you cant see anything except black spots. Iam used to it though. Happens at least once in a year. In sec 1 it was chinese class, in which it was SERIOUS. in sec 2 it was in the D and T room, which is even scarier because I was sawing something at that time. Imagine. I dont think its serious. I said, I dont THINK so. Well Iam better now,thank you for asking. Hopefully doesnt occur again.

Earlier on in the day, we had to do this english Compo , titled Power Corrupts. There was a lack of tables, so I was sitting between Tabitha and Michele. Shermaine and Michele initially saved me a seat, but it was taken by Tab. IDK why i let her D; Then we started the compo, but apparently Tab thought that quiet was too annoying, so she looked and me and said, " Your VJJ's like this" And till now I have no idea. Well only a vague one. What is it?
L8r, our Chem teacher was going throuhg our worksheet and it had the element Silicon ( Si) Then she went on to speak about transplantations... but I think it was only till the ne dwhich we realised she meant implantations :/
Ok nvr mind. YOu dont get if. If you want to ask me direct.

07 hates
I cant say I have had a wonderful year 07. I hated moving from Primary School to Sec sch.. and sometimes I'd dream about going back to the primary school. I really regret not visiting my P6 form teacher... She was really nice ok. I cant even catch my breath when i think about sec 1.. As far back as my memory goes, I try to forget all the unhappiness and friendship problems that occurred then.. and I try to patch up what i've lost. Sure, every year will have its unhappiness, but really, reflecting how I was so often bullied by Tessa and kelly, Iam surprised how now I can still treat her as a good friend and a friend I have seen through the times. I think what really affected me most is how some in the class require/crave a clique, and that's really bad. What's worse is how come, and why they exclude others from their so called 'clique' and leave them to die, psychologically, and then LAUGH at them? And then, their clique makes the major desicions in the class. Even talking to them is weird. I cant imagine why they enjoy putting others down for the fun of it. Their victims? Those who seem isolated. And guess who? Iam one of them.
Then came Sec 2. After a year of being together, we've bonded- slightly I guess. There will be others who agree sec 1 was a HORRIBLE year. and I cant express it more. Iam so glad I met Averil and Mavis, the true down-to-earth good friends and friends will will actually stand by your side and who can sing the song of your heart back when you've forgotten the words. I cant imagine better friends. I miss them ok.I really do.
I cant say more. I HATE sec 1. Really I do.
Ps. Iam sorry i cant tell you the answer Michele D; If not I will have to pay either Shermaine or Tabitha:(
