#57 - A Day at The Beach

It has been 10 tiring and horrible days since I've blogged. Okay, except for 1 day.

So the smart side of me got too smart and did something marvelous.

Okay, pun intended.

I finished my homework before the holidays started.

A smart idea out of stupidity I guess. I mean, that meant that I've nothing to do for the full holiday, except for counting the number of woolly balls to sleep and stare blankly at the clock, hoping that the minute hand spin faster. Okay, to stop beating about the bush, I'm just BORED!

I was super-duper-ultra-mega-uber-very bored till Thursday and Friday, when I finally get to communicate with my Cca mates. It was like Yay~ (Okay, for 5 seconds.)

Then, the dilemma came to a halt in my mind. Damn it, why mine? There's a class outing by 47 at Sentosa on Saturday. Then, a piece of news made its way into my ears. 27 organized a class outing. It was like, same place and date. Undeniably, I'm like wanting to go for this but can't put down that. Argh. So I made a decision. Wanna know?

(Scroll down to read.)

Once upon a time, there lived a family of 12? I think so.Too many to count!

They went to the fantastic beach to enjoy their time, in a sunny weather, even though it rained heavily twice. (Idiot, spoil my story!)

 The kids enjoyed their wonderful bus ride which took 70 minutes. (Hey, damn, the MRT is 22 minutes faster!)

 They went to purchase their tickets upon finishing their grabbing of snacks from the Vivomart shelves. Some were to egg-cited till they grab others' armpits. (Oops, I mean someone.)

 They had fun at the beach, but looked like the little kids in the background.

 Some had their first swimming lessons while they drank the salty seawater to quench their thirst. (Oops, I meant they accidentally gulped some down.)

 They felt short in the sea so they decided to take a photo near the shore to look taller. Look at their faces, happy mad.

 They teamed up for a game of captain's ball. And indeed, since the birth of the powerful kid in the house, the team that he played in always win. FYI, the powerkid was me. DUH! Okay, well the rest in the team was great too!  One getting punched in the face. AWESOME!!

 After the fun, they were lost in a wonderland. The smart people took a shot of The ATM hall to show people what an ATM machine is. FYI, it's not that wonderwoman in front, but the black machine behind. Yay, black, Rebecca Black, Friday..friday.. (Shh, off track.)

 She saved the minute mother Earth and felt heroic.. Taa-daa!

 But, he stole the limelight afterwards. WHEEEEE!

 They had a lesson on rubbish, and fantasized about the dustbin.

 One of them found his long lost best friend and decided to offer some tasty bread, not handmade, but bought from the supermarket!

 They got lost and were looking for mummy. Glad that they found a map and went to someone's home safely.

They went out of Sentosa after only an hour of walking in circles. Wellwell, they had a wonderful dinner and went home after celebrations, with mad female kids having same hairstyles, like quadruplets.

The End!

#56 - Natural Disaster

It struck again.

After the 1995 Earthquake in Kobe at 5:46 a.m.

The epicenter was not far away.

An Earthquake that gave rise to a tsunami was experienced by the Japanese yesterday. It was recorded on the Richter scale: 8.9 magnitude. Horrifying.

This left me dumbfounded because I was worried for my friends and tour guide in Japan. 

Was praying hard that they are all fine. 

Hours later, news arrived. I'm glad that my prayers have been answered.

They are safe. Even though they are safe, I'm sill going to pray hard for those who lost their family members in Japan. Condolences to them.

This signs show how badly Mother Earth is suffering. The devastation and misery, will continue. A little effort from everyone may help to slow down these processes, because who knows when is the next vagary? Alright, no cheers. Silence as a respect to those Japanese that left the Earth.

#55 - A Travel around My World

I'm finally back to update again. I wanted to blog earlier, but too bad. 

There ain't 29th February this year.

Yeah, just here to put up a note to those who just had their birthdays celebrated. 

Happy belated Birthday to Weikang  & Shiheng. 

Both my best mates from Chinese class since Sec 1. Been through all sorts of situations, worked hard and achieved together. Just here to say thanks for that and why am I not born on 3rd March? Haha! Then it'll be consecutive birthdays!

Oh well, guess I'm lucky since this means I'm younger. 

Well, I'm currently learning about the history of this wonderful place - Venice. A nice city that I've always wanted to visit, yet I don't have a chance yet. Any kind souls out there willing to sponsor me?

Even though I really like Venice, but I'm ironically sick and tired of it's history. It's complicated sand there's so much to know. 

Then there's this Bridge of Sigh. For the prisoners to take a look from the two windows. Kimd of sad for them huh.

(sighs...)

Alright, ending here. Cheers.

#54 - Letting Go

In life there's many up & downs. I guess I've experienced it more than once. 

But surely, if you can get ahead with your downs, I respect that. I'm halfway there. As far as I'm concerned, I think I'm still okay. 

Yeah, so the picture above is something that makes me feel that I should let go of the past and get ahead in life. That's actually an inflatable flower attached to a drain stopper. It's so cool. 

Read it's description: How clever! Who doesn't want flowers in their bath. This one won't even stick to you when you get out. It is pink out of the water or in cold water and it turns purple when introduced in hot water!

I'm sure you all will agree with me unanimously with regards to letting go and get ahead, after you're "motivated" by the picture. 

There's nothing much for the week recently, and prolly the same for the one coming. Except, the Jogathon. Yeah, I'm totally unsure if I'm gonna run throughout the race or stroll along the path to capture the scenery. From my memories, for my first year, I walked throughout, ending up a few positions to the last. The second year, I ran and stop halfway because my friends didn't want to run. I got like the 40th position? For the third year, I ran and stop halfway again because I feel like enjoying the breeze instead of sweating. I got 35th position. So for this year, should I run? Currently situated in this dilemma and it's only five days to my Jogathon. Well well, I guess I'm gonna determine my answer by a coin. Heh, that's all. Cheers.

#53 - Survive with Kids

Survivor Redemption Island is finally televised!

After some time, Survivor Redemption Island is out. 

Been eager to catch this season since the day the host talked about it. This season shall be the one in which most of my enthusiasm will be involved. I mean, this time round, the rules and the way the game is played has changed, so the game will definitely be AWESOME!

Yeah, forgive me for my caps. Currently in an euphoric state. 

For once. 

So, today my class headed to the kindergartens in the neighbourhood for some CIP ( Character Involvement Programme for those who are trying to figure out what CIP means .__.) The kids there are like five, six year old? 

Yet, they've got brains of a young adult. Their actions tell it all. Best of all, they can multi-task. The kid I'm reading the book to was like focusing on another storybook while I'm reading. So suddenly she shot me questions with regards to the book I'm reading to her. I was like what? Ain't she not paying attention? That took me aback, totally. 

Yeah, and she totally looked like someone from my class, who is none other than, Hui Li. They're like clones, just that they are of different height, and her name is Chloe. Sucha soft-spoken girl.  

We had fun and games session with the kids there and I guess what they really appreciate is the love from the older 'siblings' like us. They couldn't bear to leave us and were then elated when they heard that we are coming back the following week.

Then there was the class story book reading session. So who was the reader out of like 10 students?

 It's none other than,

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

me. (Gives a wide smile but don't mean it)

Yes, I love to read to young kids, but I'm not like those pre-eminent readers okay. 

I'm just like everyone.

 Just because I'm from UPonstage doesn't mean I'm the best. I'm not really angry about the fact that I was sabotaged to read, but the fact that people took UPonstage as something to use against me. For your information, UPonstage is totally a CCA not only for better English Language pronunciation and articulation, but it also teaches other skills like acting etc. So I really want to accentuate that UPonstage is not a CCA in which you get to perfect your English only and don't assume that I'm flaunting my skills in front of the kids with my whatsoever English. Okay people, I'm here to end my post. With the happy yet miserable, cheers.

#52 - A Day To Remember

This was supposed to be for yesterday's Valentine's day (: Since today is Total Defence Day, I can just use this picture for both days. 

Valentine's Day this year was absolutely, heh. 

Boring.

The atmosphere is not even there. Valentine's Day has become nothing significant but a normal school day. How I wish it is a public holiday so we get to understand how important it is for couples to spend their time together.

Not.

I meant, we would be able to rest for another day, at least for those who are still not attached. 

Okay, so today is rather an important day to remember. 

I being super sarcastic. (For those who are still waiting for the punchline, it's over.) 

 That's what I can recall from what most teachers said. Yes, today is total Defence Day. This year's kind of deadening since there's nothing much, just a performance put up by the uniform groups.

Well, I'm trying to be nice, for this year. As you know, Total Defence Day always make us go "Sigh". 

I appreciate the efforts by those who participated. 

Yeah, so Titanic was on Tv last night. The most touching movie I've ever watched since young. 

Still felt the sense of heat travelling down your throat even if I'm watching it for the 5th or 6th time. Totally, melts your heart.

So I thought I may tear and, 

I really,

didn't.

 It was out in 1997 and till now, 2011, it's still being shown. Surely a great movie, no wonder they play it on Tv numerous times. 

Even though it was so many years ago, the quality of the movie is still fantastic. This is one of the best movies I've ever watched and I think they spent a huge bomb to create all these effects. A pity that Rose, the survivor, have passed away in real life. Well all thanks to her, we get to know about the Titanic. So for those who haven't watched Titanic before, I urge you to watch it ASAP, and you'll find it very heart-warming. 

Alright, that's all. Cheers.

#51 - Weather Moodswings

The aberrant weather these days is getting on my nerves! One moment you feel the heat from the sun clinging onto your skin, the next, you are being soaked to the skin. 

Totally frustrated cause I ain't a person who likes to carry an umbrella out of the house. It's just so troublesome. 

If only someone invented an umbrella that will come to your aid. 

Yeah, if only. Easier said than done. Maybe I'm the first one to do that. According to Adam Khoo, you must believe! 

Haha, but actions still have to be taken and I'm lazy (: So let me accentuate that Global warming is still getting worse! 

And yeah, the screaming of the thunder is blasting on my ear drums and I kind of abhor that. Next time, I'll make sure that the windows in my house are sound-proof. I can't think properly when there's something blasting in my mind, distracting me from my thoughts. Grr.

Today is a Saturday by the way. Which means.... time to do homework .__.

 I'm yearning to hang out with my friends instead of being restricted within the four walls in my room, trying to tolerate this pathetic weather. Whatever now, I'm going to complete my homework and be like a no life freak, watching Tv programmes. Alright, cheers. Happy weekends, not.
