And I have no demerit points!
I'm gonna start on a clean slate and not get any demerit points anymore!

And hair falling all over the place.
And eating at the wrong areas.
I won't!

I'm hap-hap-happy!
'Cause for the whole holiday,
I thought that the first day of school would consist of a science and a literature test.
Until yesterday.
When I talked to Davinia.
But I still wasn't sure 'cause I had been certain that the teachers had said that there would be tests.
So today I went around MSN questioning everybody! And guess what - no tests!
But I'm still grateful that I did think there would be tests or else I'd have slacked more and probably be doing homework now.
I just can't work without the right motivation. (:
And I can't wait for Thursday!
Horseriding!
Cantering!
FUNFUNFUN!

I am so so so blessed.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU LORD!
I lost my phone again.
I thought someone took it.
Not stole it,
took it on accident.
'Cause my skirt was missing too.
(You know it's really embarrassing to walk around in nothing but a tee over your leotard.)
But.
Because I serve an awesome God, who is a God of miracles and wonders,
my phone has been found again!
By Louisa!
Who doesn't know my blog url but I'd like to thank her anyway.
And Charis too. For telling me that my phone was on top of Miss Sharon's piano.
So thank You and you and you!

Most people have a WEEK more to catch up and finish everything they've left to the last minute, but me?
Dance every day for the next week!
I'm really looking forward to it (:
So expect me to be covered in bruises and totally whacked out on school on monday.
Sadly, my tap, modern, and jazz exams are all on the Saturday of the week school starts, so no tests or school days skipped.

HELLO
Yesterday I was really really pissed with Blogger.
'Cause I spent about half an hour writing this really long post about GDOP, then the stupid thing blanked out on me and I gave up.
But anyway.
EVERYONE LIKE TOTALLY HAS TO READ THE WHITE DARKNESS BY GERALDINE McCAUGHREAN!
Unless the only books you like are TeenGirl Novels. Like, my heart's broken, my heart's healed, let's all go clubbing, yeah?
Anyway.
The White Darkness
by Geraldine McCaughrean
Captain Oates, hero of the Antarctic, has been dead for nearly a century. But not in Sym's head. In there, he is her constant companion, her soul mate, her adviser. It is as if he walked out of the Polar blizzard and into her mind. In fact, if it were not for him, life might be as bleak a place as the Antarctic wilderness.
Then a short family expedition (don't let it get you fooled, it's LONG) makes her ask the question she has long been avoiding: is it madness to stake your happiness on someone or something that isn't there?
So, the book is really really cool (hurr. get the pun?), yeah, 'cause Symone (Sym, i.e. the lead) - 14 - goes off to Antarctica with her lunatic uncle, in search of the legendary Symme's hole. Indeed, she finds out that she is named after that Symme.
While there, she and her uncle pair up with Mr Bruch and his son, Hot Sigurd - 16 - 'cause apparently Mr Bruch is this bigshot film producer and gave Sym's lunatic uncle all the proof he needs for Symme's hole.
So, as you should have noticed, Symone and Hot Sigurd are of, um, acceptable ages, and things get a bit hot and steamy (HAHAH. IN ANTARCTICA). Her lunatic uncle notices but because he:
1. is a raving lunatic
2. is desparate to find Symme's hole
3. wants everyone to get along
he actually encourages them. Really, you like literally cringe when he 'winks suggestively' at them.
However, things get out of hand when the lunatic uncle steals a van and supplies, then kidnaps Sym, Mr Burch, and drugs Hot Sigurd, and ventures off to find the HOLE.
Along the way, Mr Burch tries to persuade him to head back by informing him that all the information he had given him - picture, map scales and all - WERE FALSE. The lunatic uncle - Victor, his name is - seems not to care, but starts driving off with Mr Burch still outside.
Evil.
So poor Mr Burch is left to die, and Hot Sigurd and Sym don't have anymore steamy moments as:
1. its kind of depressing to know that Mr Burch died
2. they were too cold
Nah, I made number two up. ((:
But anyway, it's REALLY REALLY sad later on because Hot Sigurd goes off to pee, then yells that he found the hole. Sym's really surprised 'cause at that point neither of them believed in the hole, but, yeah, they didn't want to be thrown out of the van too.
While running towards the yell, Hot Sigurd LEAPS INTO THE VAN AND DRIVES OFF. Leaving Sym and the lunatic uncle behind.
I WAS SO PISSED WITH HIM!
I kept hoping that he'd come back for her, you know, like the TeenGirl novels I was talking about where everything turns out all nice and happy.
But no.
Somehow, with Titus Oates in her head - remember the blurb? - she manages to try and walk back along with the lunatic uncle.
At one point, they reach the 'Devil's Ballroom', under which is nothing. Her uncle is convinced it is where Symme's hole is located, and slides down a hole he made with the ice axe they had.
Like, I could picture it, it was so scary.
So he died too.
And there was no more warmth for her to share.
But GUESS WHO SHE FOUND?!
Hot Sigurd, who was no longer hot, as there was no more fuel in the tank. He was freezing cold.
But still, heat from two bodies is better than one, and there was a first aid box.
Sigurd actually suggested that they, well, lose it there and then, but Sym - SHE ROCKS MAN - says, "Not if you were the last shmuck in the universe."
Hahah, she so ROCKS. If it weren't for Elle Woods, and the fact that she has a century-year-old guy in her head, she would be my new idol.
BUT, thankfully, the people back at the camp obviously realised they were missing. So when the next plane came, they all loaded on - sick of Antarctica - and went in search for them.
Impossible, yeah?
BUT.
The van was the same obiang red as my mum's old Toyota Carolla. Do you spell it like that?
So they were found.
On the plane back, Cute Mike - the guy who had lead them to Antarctica (it is a holiday destination you know! - depending on your wealth ((: ) - asked her out on a date, not realising she was 14.
He's like twenty-plus.
"Oh Mike!" I call after him, so that he turns in the companionway and bangs his head on a lifeboat. "Keep in touch, won't you?" I say. "I'm planning on being older in a year or two."
And it ends.
Which is really sad.
So the moral of the story is:
If you want to get a date, talk to your own head, and go for the cute guys, not the hot ones.
Hahah.

These definitions are courtesy of http://www.dictionary.com/.
Holiday
noun
A time to catch up on the work you haven't been doing well in.
This definition is courtesy of the teachers of Singapore's education system.
"Girls, I know that during the holiday you would all like to have fun. But what is more important is that you study hard so that you will be prepared for school when you come back." Anonymous
Let's read the first two definitions again shall we?
Go on, scroll up.
And then click my profile, and scroll down.
See the amount of homework?
A little bit of irony there, yes?
Devoted to rest or pleasure. Oh yes, such great rest I'm getting with spars every week, and the stress of getting everything done by the end of the holidays.
Indeed, it's really pleasurable.
Oh well, thank God for dance, church, friends, family and HORSERIDING.
Yes, I'm going to go HORSERIDING.
Finally, after all these years of riding horses on holiday, I'm going to have lessons.
HAH! YAHBOO, SUCKS TO YOU iGALLOP!

I'm stuck with White Sands, Orchard, Tampines Mall, Junction 8, Plaza Sing, Parkway...
NO GOOD SHOPPING!
Though today I discovered this dress in This Fashion which would be perfect for a retro/ vintage party. HINT.
Anyway, I shall save up $16 (somehow! Since I don't get an allowance during the holidays!) and buy the dress.
Then, when I've used it, I shall rip off the lace and take off the horrible, lacy, beady flower, which may turn out quite nice when worn properly, and TADAH! I'll have a brand new normal looking dress!
Perfect isn't it?
Ek. Despite all the distractions, I'm still not going anywhere this holidays. Perhaps I'll join Suzy in being a nerd and actually study.

Watched X-Men: The Last Stand
It's so COOL!
I was sitting next to Danne, and this was the conversation we had while Ice-Boy was fighting Fire-Boy (hey, sorry I don't know their names in the show).
Sasha: I like Fire-boy!
Danne: No, Ice-boy!
Sasha: But Fire-boy's so cool!
Danne: No! Ice-boy's cooler! (Gettit?)
Sasha: Huh, fine! Fire-boy's HOTTER!
Hee.
Hey, it's FUNNY OKAY!
Anyway, Fire-boy's real name is Aaron Stanford. And I WOULD have pictures but as I said, the computer's lagging.
And it was really sad, 'cause Ice-boy killed Fire-boy.
Now, we see that this shows that Ice-boy is a cold-hearted killer.

They took our son
It was His will
But why so sudden
We wonder still
This was a really touching poem that I saw on a gravestone at the Kranji War Cemetery.
There were so many young men that died - the youngest we saw was merely 19.
How could a human cause such pain on another? How could one hear the screams of pain and suffering, but persist?
How could they watch thousands dying before their eyes, from malnutrition, pain, and sheer fatigue?
When I saw the mural, 'Father, forgive them, they know not what they do,' it really impacted me.
If I was one of the POWs, would I have been able to forgive them?
Were the families able to forgive?
The world has not forgotten, grudges are still kept.
Will this pain ever be erased from human hearts?
Has this event been erased from God's book?

Dear Mr. President - Pink
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?

Tired.
I'm just really tired.
We lost the debate yesterday.
It seems to be hitting me harder now.
I still don't understand what happened.
Did anyone?
It was messy. Points and rebuttals were flying everywhere. In truth, before the results came out, I thought that both teams had done pretty badly.
The judges thought differently I guess.
They wouldn't answer if there was a wide margin.
"Oh, strong teams beat other strong teams all the time."
Yeah, but you're not answering the question.
To the team:
It was NO ONE'S fault.
We're a team.
We train as a team, we prep as a team, we win as a team, we should lose as a team too.
I love every one of you and you all did WELL.
Hey, I was watching, I should know. (:

Hee, I'm really really happy!
I was so lucky, I really expected lots and lots of POIs from Cedar, but during my whole speech I didn't get a single one!
When the bell rang for 6minutes, in my head I was saying 'YES YES YES! YAYYE!'
Hahah, I'm really hyper now.
Oh, and I got best speaker.
Can you see that? Best speaker!
I wasn't even thinking of best speaker! I was like, 'Shoot, I messed up the reply, please, please let us win!'
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU LORD!
I felt really bad though, when they were announcing those who broke.
'Cause you know what it's like to not break through. It sucks.
And hey, when we didn't break through, it wasn't even me speaking.
On a LIGHTER NOTE,

Anyway, it was really really YUMMY. I don't care if the bacon was really fatty, it feels more satisfying when you cook the meal yourself.
After church I went to a Japanese restaurant for lunch. Terriyaki chicken! YAY!
I love Jap food!
Then went shopping with Mum. SHOE SHOPPING!
Bought really pretty court shoes at Isetan, then went to Converse and bought really really pretty shoes there too.
And some sticky, chewy chocolate ice-cream too!
I still feel really proud of the bacon. Someone compliment me(:

And I've changed my blog skin again!
I love this one. It's so ORANGEY.
We went to ACSI for a spar today.
Did I spar? No.
Bah Jon. Not telling us that it would only be opp sparring.
I feel so unprepared.
I don't know how to deal with the POIs and the reply.
Leanne and I have NEVER debated in a competition.
And Eugenia just told me that Cedar's actually quite good.
Eck eck eck.
On a brighter note, the class party was FUNFUNFUN.
It didn't start out too good.
Miss Lee was told to come at 7.30pm when it really started at 6.30pm.
Then trying to drag her into the pool we got shouted at by a neighbour.
Ouch.
We worried for quite a long time on how to entertain Miss Lee.
And Karina lost her specs in the pool doing a cannonball.
AND GUESS WHO FOUND THEM!
hee(:
Yeah, but after the cake and the presents it was better.
Some people stayed to talk to Miss Lee, and the rest were in the pool.
Quietly.
Yeah so in the end the party was a success.
SO FUN.

I love the bait.
I love my seniors.
I love my teammates. (PLUS HAZEL TOO)
I love SRDS.
With my brown eyes and Rachel's purple glasses and Danne's greenery and Sarah's PINK LIPS.
Haiyah I love SCDS la!
Rachel should have been named something beginning with C. Then can have Sasha, Danne, Rachel, Sarah and Singapore Chinese Debate Society.
Hahahah so COOL.
Today was the workshop thingy for the Y14s.
I got kinda pissed with the group I was assigned to. I know you're all like, "Sasha? Pissed? No! She's too sweet!"
(:
Anyway, the motion was like:
THW hold companies financially responsible for the volume they pollute
And we were opposition la. It was GROSS.
Man, for debaters, my group was really quiet.
I asked them what speaker roles they wanted.
No one answered.
So I took reply.
(Hee(: Their fault they didn't choose the easiest one!)
Claris. No idea.
Base line. No idea.
So we had the usual detriments outweigh the benefits clari and the case was made up in the last minute.
1st: It won't work.
2nd: Alternatives.
I was so so thankful I decided to be reply.
So it wasn't bad, the guy said I just had to be more organised and speak louder.
But I'm sure I probably need to improve more than just that.
Erk.
Then the four of us walked to Junction 8 and McChickens at Macs.
Hahah, me and Sarah were dying 'cause we had jelly for lunch. Then Rachel don't know la. She didn't even eat lunch and she wasn't as hungry as us.
I think I was the hungriest.(: I complained the whole rainy journey to Junction 8 while Sarah tried to steal the umbrella from me.
So we chatted and watched Danne figure out where to get her dad to pick her up and ateateate.
Bliss.
Then just now I freaked 'cause Dav called to remind me of the science prac tomorrow.
Thank You Lord for my friends!
But now its all done so off to bed soon(:
If you're worrying about something, stop and take a step back.
You don't worry about where to get your food,
your next meal,
whether you'll still be alive tomorrow,
if your home will still be there,
if your family is safe.
Is it really the end of the world if you do badly for a test?
Mrs Chia made me think.

I think I'm scarred for life.
Rachel Lee sent me this Crush Calculator thing.
It makes you write your name and your crush, then click to see if you work out.
So anyway, I put false name 'cause I'm not that stupid.
Anyway without thinking I sent it to a whole lot of people too. Now I've learnt things I do NOT want to know.
FORGIVE ME, I KNEW NOT WHAT I DID.
Erk.
Oh help oh help. Anyway, I've vowed not to go back there and I've cancelled the thing. So, yes. I got like one and then decided not to look at anymore. So SCARY.
I think Amanda's the smartest. She faked it too.
Ahh, I think I need therapy.

You're looking at a STRAIGHT-A napfa student(:
Well, technically not yet. My 2.4's tomorrow. Oh well. My target's 13minutes. Though that's kind of crazy.
We started with sit-ups.
Killer.
I did 31. As soon as I got A, I was like whoo forget it la.
My stomach HURTS okay.
Then it was shuttle run. I did surprisingly well considering that all my efforts in PE gave me a mere C.
ELEVEN POINT TWO SEVEN SECONDS
Next was STANDING BROAD JUMP. I was going around with WeiTing and we were both freaking over it. I think I went through it in a daze. I can't remember how I swung, though I know I landed reeally heavily. BOOMBOOM goes the elephant. Anyway, it was ONESEVENSIX
Thenn.. uhm. Sit and Reach. I performed all the neccesary techniques.(: Sit up straight as possible when they push the backboard towards you, and push your shoulders waay back when they're measuring where to put the black thingy. Hee, I got FORTY FIVE.
And THEN. The last one. INCLINE PULL-UPS. I was really really freaking now 'cause that day in PE, I did TWO and then died. Possibly 'cause Weiting was making me laugh. Anyway, you need 10 to get C, and I only did 7 last year. BUT GUESS WHAT I GOT.
EIGHTEEN. So, HAH YiTing. You weren't the only one(:
So I'm really happy now.
Except for the fact that I've got mo xie tomorrow. So dead la.
Three sentences
Doesn't sound much right?
Well it IS.
Lord, take the wheel.
Give me strength.
In all ways let me honour You.

I say this is a teeny-tiny world.
First I went to Rachel's blog.
From there I went to this guy's blog that she linked.
In his links, guess what I found? A Charis.
So, I clicked it.
It wasn't my dear friend, but I found the skin familiar.
So I clicked on Maker.
And GUESS WHERE THAT TOOK ME?
Dan's blog. As in Danielle's blog. As in the senior Danielle's blog, not the Danielle from 2SY.
SO COOL.
I know this is getting to be an out of control post but its STILL A SMALL WORLD.
Oh oh! And guess who commented on her blog? The maker of MY blog.
Sorry, I just think this is vairvair funny. You may all kill me later(:
Today was so slack la. After recess we had maths, which sucked don't even ask about my marks, then it was history and CE.
Man, I love my class and all the smart people in it.
Because of all the smart people in my class that got into OM, we had a slack history, with Tingy telling us the storyline of Final Destination 3. Very very funny(:
This WeiTing so cartoon. With excessive hand movements and all.
Then in CE, Miss Lee explained some more about WHIT in Of Mice And Men (pronounced WIT, not HWIT). Then we SWITCHED OFF ALL THE LIGHTS, CLOSED THE DOORS AND THE FRENCH WINDOWS AND...
told GHOST STORIES!
It was so funny, then Miss Lee telling us scaryscary pastimes as a camp counsellor in Sentosa.
Bad dreams tonight!
You will hear a scream echoing around Singapore. Because of a monkey with Miss Lee's face and a ghostly boy sitting on a slide. So FREAKY.
Ohoh. Let me tell you a joke.
There was once this matchstick that kept scratching his head. So he caught fire. Anyway, he was taken to the matchstick hospital by his friend the toothpick and the doctor, Miss Satay Stick bandaged his head.
So what was he now?
A COTTON BUD!
This joke is not mine, though I wish it were. It's Roxanne's (:

Olivia Newton-John

Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But, baby, can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do?
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying, "Fool, forget him."
My heart is saying, "Don't let go.
Hold on till the end."
And that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you

CAROL CHEONG SHOULD NOT HAVE WON MISS SINGAPORE UNIVERSE!
Jadejadejadejade. No, I don't know her personally but she was the prettiest and even if she may look kind of bimbo (the words come from Danne's mouth, not mine) 'Once she opened her mouth it was like wah' Again Danne's words.
So she gave smart answers, she was prettier than Carol Cheong, why didn't she win? Because, Ladies and Gentlemen, I tell you that the judges were bias towards her after the swimsuit competition. I leave the rest to your own imagination.
Okay, I know she wasn't as bad as the girl who said having pornographic videos circulated around is fine, but STILL.
That girl was just.. ek. And then of course after her comes the lovely Jade who says smartly that the government should try and curb the amount of pornography on the internet. Not a very good point 'cause there are _____ many new websites each day, but at least its MORALLY correct.
Hahah, its UNJUST people!
We went to watch the squashers today after school. We lost.. I think(:
Hey, I'm sorry I'm really blur about sports. Though I figured that the serve has to be above the second red line, the ball can't go in the white part, it CAN hit the glass, aand, oh it can't go below the first red line. Oh oh! And the squash area thing's glass is REALLY strong!
Hah I love their cheer. It goes something like:
Here come the SC squashers walking down the street
Saying doodadumdeedeedumdeedeedooo.
Something like that anyway. I think its really cute(:
So anyway, it was SAD 'cause I really wanted to see and do the Sec1 orientation.. Like last year in the toilet counting tiles and I was like, 'So cruel' and they said we could go! Hahah that was SO FUNNAE.
But the tile-counting thing is getting OLD. Though it's veryvery amusing.
So.
Our lovely seniors came up with another weird weird game thing.
Here's the situation:
You are stuck on an island, 'Pulau Debate' (harhar so funny yes?), with flesh-eating slugs and cannibals. Defend yourself and get off the island with the following stuff:
Umbrellas
Water bottles
Plastic bags
Leaves
Different shoes
Signatures
So there were lots of crazy ideas like tying shoelaces across two tree trunks to trip the cannibals, spraying salt water out of Nike bottles at the slugs so that they dissolve, spraying salt water in the cannibals' eyes, pretending to be cannibals so that the slugs won't eat you, and showing the female cannibals David Beckham's signature so that they'd be content and not eat you. That part's a bit crazy but what can you say.
Debaters are mad la.

Last night after prayer and praise I went home with my dear Charis cause my parents were out. So anyway, after we dropped Sam off we went to buy FOOD.
So I bought carrot cake.
While waiting Charis came back from buying her nasi lemak and chicken wings (typical) and asked
Charis: Eh, what did you buy ah?
Me: Carrot cake.
Charis: Oh. Did you buy it fried?
Me: Urhm. Ya.
Then there was this HUGE pause.
Me: Isn't fried the only way you can buy it?
So our dear smart friend says
Charis: Aiyah! How was I supposed to know, over there one picture says FRIED carrot cake and the other one says carrot cake.
Ahh I love my dear smart friend.
So anyway we went to her house after that to find Evan sitting upside down talking on the phone to his friend. Hm.
Its very amusing, their conversation. So bad they were, tsktsk. Gossiping about this poor guy in their class. Then Evan suddenly said, 'Eh I'm very bored. Say something to make me laugh.'
Then me, Charis and Aunty Cynthia who were all obviously eavesdropping on his conversation started laughing. Hahah it was quite crazy. Then after that Caleb was so cute. Cause I was describing Legally Blonde 2 to both of them and then he was laughing so hard. I don't even know he knew what was going on he looked so blur. Caleb I mean. Hahah. I want a small little brother.
No actually I don't. I think I'd die. I want CARYN.
The poor girl is sick. Must pray for her then she can have a fun birthday party. (: She was sick on her second birthday too. Poor thing.
Hm. Debate orientation for sec1s tomorrow. So fun. I remember last year we played charades and they told me to act out debate. Hahah I had NO IDEA HOW. But luckily Danne heard them say debate and guessed it without me doing anything.
I LOVE YOU DANNE.
You're the name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

I just visited KhongB's blog. I am speechless.
Wait, no.
I am killing myself with laughter.
Her first post is about how she shook hands with the prime minister. And her interests are:
Peranakan shoe beading
Cross-stitch
Spider solitaire
Neopets.
Neopets. Yes neopets. Sheesh. She is how old?
Neopets player = Grumpy old maths teacher who hates me for never passing up my work.
Though she seems like the type who would enjoy crossstiching cos she's always on at us about setting up a knitting workshop. She wants us to knit SCARVES and give them to out mothers for mothers' day. Hahah - SCARVES. I wonder where she'd wear a scarve.
I'm very VERY worried about Y14s. So scary. Aah. Rachel keeps telling me to work on my rebuttals. Ah I don't know HOW.
My brain works SLOWLY. Tell that to my Chinese teacher.
Eugh I hate POIs. Its like Leanne was telling me to POI whoever was speaking, and I was like, huh? What POI? It sounds correct what. Of course by the time I figure out that it was wrong it's too late cause she's probably moved on to her next point or gone past the 5minutes. The other scenario is that I'd not know how to POI her throughout the WHOLE first 5minutes, and then in the stupid last minute, I know how to POI.
And because I'm usually the first speaker, I can't use it in rebuttals later on. ACK.
Was talking to Rachy and Dav yesterday during break. We talking about going to Heaven. Then Rachel was like, can you imagine being alive for forever and ever?
Hahah, I was so surprised cause I thought about that before but I didn't really bother. So we were wondering, since you know in Heaven you don't need to sleep.. Right? Anyway, do you just keep going on and on? Like we always feel so mentally if not physically tired. Is there no rest for us?
Of course, I would rather spend forever in Heaven than in hell. I have a feeling it would be much more peaceful and happy.
Hahah. Ah, the great Sasha has mastered the power of the understatement.

What's wears white and blue, carries yellow pieces of paper, and has this crazy want to BOOK people?
Gosh I don't know, you say.
Honestly, I say, how blurpokk of you.
Its a MEANIEPREFECT!
Hahah. I got booked today. I'm glad I'm not a prefect. If I were I'd probably be stripped off the prefectship title cause I'd be too lenient.(:
I think the only fun part of being a prefect is saying to Danne, Excuse me, please fix your belt. Hahahahahh
Hee so funny.
Oh oh. I found out what my name is. It's NOT a guy's name. Oh well it can be but for ME it's not. Anyway, it's of Russian origin and it means: the protector and helper of mankind. So cool right?! Well it is anyway.
Today science was very funnae. Me and Huiyu were going crazy with the hydrochloric acid and the splinters and the iron fillings and the magnesium and the FIYAH. Then we were making sparklers and twigs out of the splinters and FIYAH. Don't ask. I think that science turns people loony. Just look at Einstein's hair.

Claypot Chicken Rice.
It really really sucks to be sec2 when the sec1s are having home ec. Cooking CLAYPOT CHICKEN RICE.
Today before recess the smell was wafting up towards us. It brought back memories, yes. But most important was that it was the period before recess.
Period before recess + smell of claypot chicken rice = DIEE
heehee.
Man, last week was hamburgers. Then now claypot chicken rice for the WHOLE WEEK. And then soon spaghetti. And then small cakes, and then gingerbread and all the other stuff. Ack. Let's hope my juniors are as nice to their seniors in giving them food as we were last year(: I still remember my gingerbread being eaten up by a certain cookie loving senior.

Today was fun.
We had sports day. And I had to run. So crazy. Who in the right mind would make ME run? Ah but anyway, I also wanted to la. Cause we only had a limited amount of people in debate to run. Not like some other CCAs. Hee. And we came in FOURTH. Hey for a small group of people who are supposed to just talk all day it was GOOD. Whee debators ROCK(:
Then after that me, Dav and Yiting went out cause its Yiting's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YITING!
Hee.
Ya so we went to Wisma, then met Kellie, Tammie and Jean at Isetan. Hahah. Then we were all trying on clothes and Yiting tried on a skirt! Wow! Hee(:
Then lahdeedah went to Heeren and admired Adidas stuff that we couldn't have and WalletShop stuff that I wanted for my birthday. Hee
FIFTEENTH MAY. Remember that date. Most important. Hahah.
Then we took NEOPRINTS. So purty. Then came home with Dav and did ting xie. Ee.
It was raining so hard that we thought there might not be school tomorrow if it didn't stop. THE DRAINS WERE FLOODING SHEESH.
Then someone must have sung that stupid rainraingoaway song and the RAIN WENT AWAY while I was showering. BAH. School tomorrow. And ting xie. Die.
Oh oh! And we ate a BIG lunch at PIZZAHUT. Yes indeedy. So yummy and filling. And I saw Carol. She was like, "Sasha" in this really deep voice (at least to me anyway) so I was like huh? and turned around and was amazed! CAROL. Wow. Then Dav was hurt 'cause Carol didn't recognise her. Hee. Don't worry dear.
Me think PizzaHut is overrated. Yes the food and all is nice but I like Pastamania more. Better memories, nicer atmosphere.. Ladeeda.
