HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONG LI!
although we fight so much, you're my friend after all (: thank you for the very wonderful year;
you made it a lot more..interesting. haha
anyway, went to escape on saturday. this time it wasnt closed, thankfully. and plus, we all got one free ticket each since 3 rides were closed. escape is quite a lousy theme park but still I had a lot and a lot of fun mainly because of go kart and the inverter.
I went on inverter once with geetika and tong li and another time with chang because she wanted to go as well. the first time, I closed my eyes a lot but the second time, even when I was suspended upside down, I waved to geetika :P heh, show off.
the go kart queues were very very very very long and I really didnt want to go in the start.
but then, it was so fun that we queued for a second time. overtook mayee and chang even though they started before me but in the end, I ran out of gas. I drive very well, though a little reckless but heck care. we were supposed to leave escape at 4.15 but it was so irresistable that we ended up leaving at 5.30.
and yesterday, went to lim rui's house :D hm, we played monopoly, life, uno, badminton, watched 15 minutes of dream girls and spent almost the whole day there. oh maaaan it was so fun! escpecially monopoly, I became bankrupt very quickly. Life was a lot better, though everyone had a baby excpet for me :(
I hate dream girls. oh yes oh yes, we all dressed up! hahaha
anyway,
guess who's birthday it is tomorrow? :Dmy parents asked me what I want and I told them not to buy anything;
instead I asked them to donate to charity. so noble right? haha
I think I'm finally growing up.

For the past 11 years of my school life, I have always always looked forward to the end of school and the holidays.
maybe not so much in primary 6 but frankly today I feel worse than how I felt when leaving primary school.
I really don't know why.
Maybe its just the classroom that gives me so much of comfort when I walk in
or the people. Whatever the reason, its a lovely end to the best academic year in my whole life
Most of us in 2m have been together for almost 2 years and really, thats a long long time. and the people who came from other classes like charlotte, jolene, joy, nicole teh and serqi have all made 2m complete. even though I dont know what class I'll be in next year or who'll be in my class, im quite convinced it wont ever be as good as 2m.
Starting from family night (:
it was a long time ago but I still remember practicing as a class till late in the evening one day before the actual performance.
and family night itself was such a joy, be it ushering, dressing up, practicing more or of course, winning
then there was class party in april. the amazing race, the lunch cum dinner at pizza hut, eating roti prata with sugar in the carpark, playing the little games and just being together as (almost) a whole class. everything was just too good. I remember how nice the dinner was at pizza hut for several reasons and the roti prata thing was just really really funny even though its just a small group of us who knows what actually happened. maybe we were just sugar high. haha
in may there was adventure camp even though it wasnt a very class thing. but hey, I really enjoyed myself a lot though I once almost slipped off the cliff and i could have died okay! eva saved my life which shows that 2m people care for each other :] if she hadnt stopped me from falling, I wouldnt be here today. fine, that was a teeny weeny insy winsy bit exaggerated but still!
august and september were mostly very exam-based months but we pulled together as a class. we're called nerd class for a reason right? :D
and of course, the exams! marks are secondary; whats most important is if we put in our best and we all definately did. 2m is such an all rounder class, yes? haha. the whole post exam period was so fun as well. playing uno, speed, listening to boring and pointless talks, minifair and well, becoming much much closer as a class. I mean, people like serqi, before the post-exam period, we hardly even EVER talked but during the minifair and stuff, we suddenly had some common topic. post exam period works miracles!
More than any of these things, what is 2m without the people?
Lim rui, geetika, charlotte, tong li and alethea.
all of you have been great great friends and sitting beside you all has been really wonderful.
lim rui, you torture me every day of your life but without you, I wouldnt have been able to enjoy lessons even half as much as I actually did. it was so funny to make fun of teachers and imitate them and I feel really blessed to have sat beside you for 1 and a half years. at the end of the day, even though we dont always get along, you're one of my best friends in the whole world. I'll do anything to sit beside you again next year because you just make me happy (:
geetika, you have just been there for me all the time and thats more than enough. Even when I was so dejected last friday because of my results, you gave me hope that this exam isnt the end. from last year until today, without you, my life wouldnt be complete. I still remember how on the first day of school, i had no chair and you shared yours with me and Im really very grateful that you helped me make my dosa for home ec exam. I would have failed if you hadnt rescued me! so yes, of course i want to be in the same class as you next year and about tomorrow, I think i can come! :D
hahaha
tong li tong li, ahahaha! trust me, you're the person I fight with the most in the whole world. we just never ever ever get along, do we? but hey, even if we fight, you're surely the person who has also made me laugh the most. your greentea, your cheeks, your disturbed look..everything just amazes me. will you be my prince for halloween? (:
and charlotte! I've known you for the shortest period of time as compared to the other 3 but you're a really nice person. hahaha its really sweet how you try and make me feel good about myself. and the cake today..thank you so so much! Its so nice to think that you went out of the way to bake just for the both of us. you're the best dancer and baker ever charlotte, honestly.
people like jia have also added a lot of colour to my life. my best blackmore friend! hahaha
and nicole mak too.
annabelle aiel geri cheryl faye liwen elena eva amelia gerou jacq jolene joy klarissa michelle wenxi yingyen limrui makmak merrilyn raywern alethea tongli juhi sam sonal serqi jia xiang sadhika nicoleteh sau geetika & charlotte,
thank you VERY VERY much for such a lovely academic year. even if we're not in the same class, at least we're all still in the same school and for people like amelia and serqi who're leaving mgs, at least we're in the same country right? I'm going to miss the 2m classroom so so much! as mrs chong said on the first day of school, jurassic park. its where I spent the best days of my life.
I have nothing to do during the holidays, at least until december. oh we got the 2m class tshirt today and even my mother thinks its pretty. haha and once again, thanks a lot charlotte for the birthday cake and lim rui, thank you very much for the very sweet letter and snowglobe thing. its beautiful you know? :]
I love each and every one of you.

As usual, we were ostracised yet again.
as elena said, mgs isnt a very "vegetarian-friendly" place. literally
well not that mgs can be blamed. there are only 4 of us in the whole sec 2 cohort who are vegetarians.
me, sonal, juhi and elena but then again sonal and juhi dont count because they choose when they want to be vegetarian.
when the non-veg food is nice, they immediately switch. tsk tsk
so its just me and elena and truly, I admire her.
the people with allergies and us, vegetarians were first of all assigned to a special table.
if thats not enough, they gave us labels. what the hell right?
haha the labels were really cute though-like this one:
i swear im not making fun of her allergy. its just funny how they treat us like a bunch of weirdos or lepers.
anyway, the food we got at marriot was hellish at least for us vegetarians. we had to ask for bread thrice; perhaps because they assumed bread is non-vegetarian and the main course was just disgusting. people have a very wrong idea of what vegetarianism is.
whats the point of giving us mock chicken? its not as though we're yearning for chicken so much that we need to turn to
mock chicken. sorry but i wasted 3/4 my food and ended up eating potatoes which the person beside me kindly donated. the soup was the only thing, normal.
since everything else was terrible, we were waiting so eagerly for the strawberry cheescake when suddenly someone appeared with a plate of
fruits for us. once again-what the hell right? hellooooo why is strawberry cheescake considered non-vegetarian! its not fair that they give us nothing but fruits when we deserve the strawberry cheescake just as much as everyone does.
So in silent protest, I refused to touch any of the fruits and all of us demanded our cheesecake. in the end, they told us they'll make 3 more just for us but we'll have to share. the girl beside me didnt want cheesecake anymore so she gave me the whole thing but still, I shared with this, another girl with nut allergy :D haha so we got fruits AND the cheesecake-elena took all my fruits though.
bytheway, me and elena rock because we save the animals. albeit we dont get fair treatment, we're cooler than people who just love animals and still eat them. goodness, practice what you preach man.
go to meat.org please [:
anyway after marriot, we roamed around orchard. the halloween masks and hats are all so cute. oh patrick is sitting on my lap now :D hahaha and Im using the banana plush as a bolster together with my baby tigger.
well, i need to eat dinner now. finally some proper vegetarian food
goodbye

Minifair was awesome-way beyond that actually.
but before that,
thank you so much geri and jolene for the banana plush
and jia, sam, nicole mak and joy for the
PATRICK STARyou all made me so happy, really. this birthday is going to be the best birthday ever and only 8 days left :D
THANK YOU SO MUCH!♥♥
tralala i love 2m because post exam activities have all been so wonderful.
like playing uno and speed early in the morning. goodness, this has definately been my best school year.
anyway, back to about minifair.
be it eating candy floss, waiting for almost an hour for the haunted hotel as 1/3 the class, passing patrick around, doing sand art, singing along to the music or cheating during the games, I had so much of fun. especially haunted hotel which was so funny. and even though the queue was very very long, it was worth it. and we rock because we cheated for the games but shh im not going to write what happened here.
but in the end, I got a lot of super rings, a photo frame (which I donated to geetika) and sand art. I spent only 50 cents :P
oh oh and 5 strangers asked me where I got the patrick from. heh everyone loves you patrick. um what else what else. oh yeah tomorrow is the social etiquette thing and the 3rd last day of school.
why why why why? :( 2m is the best
la, seriously.

Shut up and stop crying already vandana, just work much much much harder next year.
whatever subject combo you get, do your best in that and seriously, STOP crying over spilt milk.
stop telling yourself that you studied very hard and your efforts have all gone a waste because you didnt study very hard.
stop putting yourself down that you're the lousiest in class because one exam doesnt determine your whole life.
stop thinking that next year you'll be all by yourself and cherish your last school week properly.
Its not worth crying vandana-you cried the whole of friday and the whole of saturday.
Its time to move on.

Haha, I know i said i won't talk about results but i really cannot help expressing my extreme joy about english oral.
19.5/20! :D the best best best part is, the picture had 3 prawns and i said ginger
and still still still I almost aced it. and it helped me get an almost A1 for L.A
ohmygoodness ms gloria chong, i love you! it was so funny when mrs chong was announcing our oral marks.
But I almost failed geog :( and I could have gotten so much better for history because
i got 37/50 for structured essay which is actually not bad but but i did terribly for the first part which is supposed to be the easiest to score! Still, im surprisingly very happy with history even though its such a horrible terrible mark.
and uh so many people are taking full geog next year while Im definately going to drop geog. full history and elect. lit :] which means I'll probably be in a class where I don't know anyone. At least in sec 1 and this year I have had people in class to talk to and eat recess with and I have really good friends.
next year..howhowhow?
ah well, we'll see how it goes. oh yes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOLENE!:D
october is the best month right? hahaha eh my birthday is coming in 13 days. yay!
anyway, there was subject briefing today and oh maaaaan, so many people bully me :(
lim rui takes great pleasure in trying to trip me and jia and gerou keep poking me.
hahahahha peer abuse. tsk tsk.
and tomorrow we'll know if we can take 9 or 8 subjects. I really dont want to take physics but I still want to be offered 9 subjects.
I don't want this school term to end. it has been a great year, results aside. And 2m is honestly a wonderful class.
Tuesday, October 16, 2007, 4:44 PM
I refuse to mention any of my marks here and seriously what is the point?
I really don't like the idea of everyone knowing my marks-good or bad is a different story altogether.
anyway, moving away from such a boring topic..
I went to east coast yesterday! :D hahaha escape was closed so with no choice at all, we had to go to east coast.
in the extremely heavy rain. thank goodness, about 15 minutes after we reached east coast the rain stopped.
we cycled (for a very very long time), played with sand, took photos and oh yes, climbed trees :D
I can't be bothered to write a long long post so I'll post the photos I have.
a picture speaks a thousand words
I have more photos but I can't be bothered. maybe another day? :] I was sad the whole morning but I never showed it at all but the afternoon made me happy, especially uno.
oh yes, did i mention that yesterday was really really really fun? maybe its a good thing escape was closed. the train ride back home with geetika and charlotte was awesome too.
Aside from listening to chang and mayee hyperventilate about ugly taiwanese singers and the terrible rain, everything was perfect. and we were supposed to watch memoirs of a geisha today but I dont know what happened.
ah well, I must go now. goodbye (:
Thursday, October 11, 2007, 9:18 PM
Oh yay i got my tiara and purple adidas water bottle :]
my tiara is honestly beautiful with purple feathers all over.
its purple and and i love purple; right after pink of course.
today was really fun; apart from spilling caramel on my white shirt and having to decide between the alien mask and the tiara.
This has seriously been one of the best weeks ever and I'm very very excited about monday.
And actually thinking about it, this has also been one of the best years of my life;
for several reasons. and eh eh nicolegoh, reading your blog made me so happy :D you made my day, mad woman.
sigh, i dont know why but i really want to get back to school.
I don't know what im going to do tomorrow and saturday. Maybe I'll watch ms swan again and again.
why does this year have to end so soon? :(
Tuesday, October 09, 2007, 8:44 PM
EOYS ARE OVER! :D
(well not really, I have tamil tomorrow but thats so blaaaahhh)
Haha i failed literature. I didnt know it was a clock for god's sake, and i wrote all about how much I sympathised with the grandfather. ohmygoodnesss, fail already. I didnt even mention the word clock. but geetika, me and jolene rock because we have the great great ability to laugh at our mistakes. hahahaha! the journey to the bus stop was too funny.
Actually thinking about it now, its so obvious that its a clock. or else, how can a grandfather be 'striking' and why would people want to look at his hands!
now it all makes sense but ahh, no use.
I'm too happy to be sad about literature and geography and oh yes, math.
Its all over and for almost 4 months, i dont have to study at all. I dont know why but not studying makes me really bored. I watched material girls and nancy drew, the tyra banks show and um. oh yes oh yes, david copperfield today. I studied tamil for slightly more than 15 minutes. I swear its not over confidence, i just dont know what to study.
and uhhh im going to vivo on thursday. and escape on monday :] I want my tiara and adidas water bottle badly :( and one more thing, i dont want this year to ever end. 2m has been a great great class and I actually made new friends. Like charlotte :D All of us will definately not be in the same class next year so I have to make full use of these last few weeks.
Anyway, I think i have to study tamil now even though I badly want to just go to bed.
Goodnight!
Saturday, October 06, 2007, 11:19 AM
Good morning [:
i've been happy this whole entire week- so happy that i couldnt fall asleep yesterday night after the (the best phone call i've ever had in my life)
the papers so far have all been okay except for geography which im expecting a c5 for.
and i got my drawing for physics wrong and um. oh yes, the clock question in physics mcq wrong as well.
hahaha but its okay, everything else was good and im very satisfied already.
whatever mark i get, i know its the best i can get and thats what matters the most right? :) no regrets at all.
and of course,
Happy birthday shakti :D yesterday was wonderful, yes?
yay i cant wait for my birthday. and shruti, listening to your voice makes me very very very happy.
seriously, I kept hearing your voice in my sleep. haha! when i see you in person, i promise to talk more.
the phone just scares me.
and shakti, I know I've been a terrible friend and im really sorry but I promise to try harder.
the
three four of us HAVE to talk again. yesterday was too good.
I love you my dear mojojojojo, even though you try to make my life miserable :D
hahaha and once again, happy happy happy birthday shakti!
oh vandana, you can do it. only math, lit and tamil left. you cant study much for tamil so its only math and lit!
you can do it darling, only four days left.
after that you can "blog until your eyes pop out" like mrs chong said.
right now, you have to go study math and about evil antonio.
and your birthday is coming so if you want to enjoy to the fullest, right now you have to study.
Hahaha sorry i know that doesnt make sense but
lunch now so goodbye
