Yumin and I were online thinking of various ideas to end off our RGS year with a big bang with 408. WE DEICDED TO HAVE OUR OWN SLEEPOVER IN SCHOOL ON THE LAST DAY! How cool is that! We'll have this cool party in our classroom with sleeping bags and food and music and everything! Someone should bring a disco ball and we'll party until dawn. We should totally play pranks on teachers too. (read: ganesh and thiock? LOL) You know Enid Blyton's boarding school books? Those girls always played pranks on their teachers, especially their mamzelle. (sp? but I only took 6 months of french after all.) Maybe I'll go read her books over again : D and think of ideas. I was just surfing face book and I came across this picture.  OMG HAVOC MUCH?! Even AJ, vice head, actually climbed over to the parapet. We'll be taking a leaf out of their book too : D There was even another picture, where another batch of students climbed onto the roof to camwhore. I'm serious, the ROOF. I would have included the picture, but just in case debbie tan blog surfs... `72 says: BUT LATER I GO DOWN, i get covered by the railings how __crystaaal* of messed up chances and missed glances says: HAHAH OMG. `72 says: later go down cannot come up i will laugh __crystaaal* of messed up chances and missed glances says: i think if u get covered __crystaaal* of messed up chances and missed glances says: den only can see my foreheard AHAHAHA `72 says: HAHAHAHA ROFL anyone else wants to join us? WELL DONE 408! Netball carn today was pretty fantastic! I think everyone had a whale of a time playing, singing and cheering : D Our cheer was so cute that I want to learn it too! The night before, Yanyee was freaking out to me and it seemed that everyone was under some kind of duress. The first game I played, my legs were trembling. It didn't even tremble last year. Must have been Peiting's nerves getting to me! As defending champs, winning this year's net carn would totally have 408 ending on a high note (even higher than yunting's soprano shrieks), but everyone's really happy with our overall 3rd place for netball carn and 1st for cheering! Come to think of it, I think 408 had quite a number of accomplishments, don't we! The only regret I have was that The Penguin went into hiding and refused to come out to play when 3 classes requested for him ): Talk about popular demand. Later on, the whole 28 of us (Jolene and someone else was missing?) trooped into Swensen's much to the amusement of the other patrons. Yumin wanted a balloon so badly I nearly wanted to steal one for her. Everyone was trying to take pictures (it was rather difficult to get everyone in the picture when we were all sitting along a long table!), the staff took pity on us and helped us instead. But too bad I had to leave early after lunch. I wish we had some more events together as a class! It's kind of sad now, come to think of it, that today was the last ever event together as a class. My tuition teacher exclaimed and asked me where I went when she saw me. Later, my mother didn't comment on my sudden tanness (is that even a word?), so I thought she didn't notice anything. Suddenly, she burst into the room, looked at me and started screaming about my face. I look like a red ball (class tee complemented my redness), complete with red cheeks and nose. The red cheeks I can live with, (since they just add to the cuteness factor) but the nose just makes me looks like rudolph (or jasmine).
four oh oh oh eight! four oh oh oh eight, eh eh eh eh! PS. I hate my hair! It looks like A FREAKING BUSH ): PPS. More photos coming up when the rest uploaded their pics too! Aw man, my dad is freaking sweet. What he said to me just now melted my heart totally LOL Since tomorrow is netball carn, I needed to get to school... but someone had to send me to school! Or else I would have to wake up at ungodly hours. me: daaaaaaaaaady. (sa jiao-ing doesn't really work with me) dad: (looks at me expectantly. Bet he already guessed what I wanted) Yes, sweetheart? me: Can you fetch me to school tomorrow pleeeease? dad: Sure. I will fetch you to school even if it's 3am. me: Awwww. REALLY??? dad: Yes, and you are always still so mean to me! I promise I will be very nice to my dad from now on! *** I went to my parents' room to watch ghost whisperer on channel 5, since my mum booked the cable tv outside. It was practically a sauna inside, so I decided to switch the aircon on. But she went ballistic when she found out that I switched it on and screamed something about a leaking aircon. so i said "DADDY SWITCHED IT ON. NOT ME!" I didn't think she would confront him about it, so I just made him the scapegoat. Later on, my dad came into the room and said "So I switched the aircon on eh!? SEE. I DIDN'T GIVE YOU AWAY. ONLY I WOULD CONSPIRE WITH YOU." I think he must have watched too much "totally spies" with me on disney channel. No wonder people say that when girls get boyfriends, it would be like their dads. my future boyfriend better treat me like that too! : D NETBALL CARN TOMORROW! : DDD our class banner and shirt are really pretty! can't wait! facebook is addictive. although i hardly see any point in it hahaha can't wait to see the money tree grow jiahui sent for our ahem, fund -.- we have another dustbin joke to add to our ever expanding collection. me: qiuping, can you put it into the bin? (passes her the dirty tissue paper. but jasmine took it since she was nearer to me) qiuping (to jasmine): oh. it's in the dustbin already (aka jasmine's house. you will know if you have been following the series religiously)! jasmine: (glowering) i will put the dustbin on your head and say "welcome to my house". HAHA okay i found this part super hilarious and i'm still giggling madly to myself as i blog this. before chem art, qiuping dragged me along to pick leaves with her for our chem art ink printing later. wait, actually, i was the one who did all the picking, so no thanks to qiuping okay! we went to the eco garden, which was close to the staffroom, and i saw this really pretty looking leaf with a very nice texture, so i was all like "omg i like this leaf! i am going to pluck it now!!" instead of helping me keep a lookout (yes, i was stealing school property oops), SHE STARTED LAUGHING HER ASS OFF WHEN THIS TEACHER WALKED PASSED ME RIGHT AFTER I SAID IT AND PLUCKED THE LEAF. and you all know how loud i speak. she just laughed and laughed and practically rolled on the floor. (ok lah, i rolled along with her too) but the point is, never pick flowers and leaves with qiuping ever again. i learnt my lesson. lucky it wasn't like s. tan who walked past. or worse, debbie, who already caught me using the word "SHIT" (jiahui and yumin conveniently ran away while i got confronted) i have come to realisation that all my friends abandon me when i have run ins with teacher. NO SUPPORT WHENEVER I NEED THEM. you guys rock! after all that melodrama, met up with the triple WINNERS. (yes triple losers, i changed our name cos jasmine spread to the whole world that we are called the triple losers and that just sounds sad. so i have hereby changed our name to triple WINNERS. sounds a winning formula huh.) for sushi buffet. half the time i just stared and the 2 bums while they laughed and laughed at the slightest thing. not going to step into sakae sushi for the next few months! went out with pt yt pf jas dharsh oli (i nearly typed oil hahahaha) sandra yy zy and i can't remember who else for lunch before entre. i don't know what dharsh was trying to do, but she was playing her straw while drinking the bubble tea. she decided to lift the fat straw out of the cup (for reasons unbeknownst to anyone), DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE WAS STILL TEA IN THE STRAW. and whooooooosh (ok, there was no sound, but i just needed to add that in! : D made things all the more realistic!) the bubble tea came flowing out in a parabolic shape (if that's how you use the word). jasmine shrieked like crazy, even though she wasn't at all splattered with anything, while pf just got the brunt of it. if only we recorded it. it was the perfect imitation of a merlion! oh and jasmine, you can hurry up blog about pingfang's brother : D (come to think of it, they kind of act alike hahahaha) warning: whiny and self pitying post ahead! woke up with a stomach ache, but then, being the guai kia that i am, i was determined to go to school after all, it wasn't that bad, and i had my first enriched deconstructing media which i didn't want to miss. so during the 2 hours of chinese lessons, i felt like i was having contractions and going to give birth (ok, granted i don't know how giving birth feels like but the expressions of actresses you see on tv kind of tells me so hahaha) and i got convinced to go home after that, "aiyar it's only options! who cares! just go home!" was an extremely helpful input by arathi. but now i feel worse than ever. must be the medicine i ate this morning which made me sleep from 2 to 8. now i'm just wide awake with body aches, feels like i got run over by a truck. i wonder if the body aches are due to netball, or the stomach flu. if its netball, it just shows how out of shape i am. and the way i move, it seems like a slow motion cartoon. oh yes i just remembered what i wanted to blog about! AK outing to sakae on monday, discussing farewell. well, i assume that no juniors actually read my blog. so this is what lisa, mary sab and i came up with. (actually the idea was solely lisa's brain child actually haha) we were thinking of a way to make a grand entrance for farewell. and since we are the ponner batch, we decided to do something about it. scene: everyone in ak is waiting for the sec 4s to turn up for farewell, with fads being the only one present cos she's chair. alas, after waiting for @$%^ time, noone turned up. so, kakfaridah demands fads to call someone. (say, mary. and will probably have this convo on loudspeaker) mary picks up the phone "HEY FADS. WHERE ARE YOU NOW! why aren't you here at sec 4 farewell!" "huh, wad are you talking about?! sec 4 farewell is NOW, in school, DIDN'T YOU KNOW?!" "oh is it! but we're at shangrila having our own farewell! lisa's mum had free vouchers for overnight stays! ok BYEE we're going off to the jacuzzi now--" "NO KAK FARAIDAH DEMANDS YOU TO COME NOW!" "okok, we're coming!" 10 seconds laters, all the sec 4s troop in. OKAY I JUST REALISED ITS PRETTY LAME. hahahaha and will probably not work out, but its funny no? to some extent. : D 408 SPECIAL EDITION: YEAR BOOK CAPTIONS! A few of us were discussing what to write for each other for yearbook, and what we came up with was just super funny i cannot resist blogging about it! Thus... i present to you 408 CHANNEL 8 SNEAK PEEK! DHARSH: Reason for clinching "Favourite Newcomer": Best known for prancing around in an SIA costume and causing all her male passengers nose bleeds with her megawatt smile in her debut drama serial, this long legged beauty clinched the coveted award for her convincing role. Too bad she isn't really an air stewardess. SIA's loss. JASMINE: Champion for who's the fairest of them all, (self proclaimed) prince-a** has Prince Nivea, Prince SK2 and Prince Loreal head over heels in love with her. She would rather spend time reading long proses, answering questions regarding it, and summarising the proses than reading the text messages or answering their phone calls. Too bad guys. Prince Compre stole her heart. YUNTING: Known for her bimbotic mannerisms, this starlet bosomed, no, blossomed into a beauty and caught the media's attention for her role starring opposite Bryan the fireman in the critically acclaimed drama "West Grand Bonfire". This rising star will attract your attention wherever she goes with her signature high-pitched laughter and squeals, so look out before she screeeeeams! CHNG: Claimed to be one of the most promising stars, Chng tumbled to fame with her in-tune, rap rendition of bah-bah-black sheep. Known for her sleek, rapper-ish hand gestures and her classic movement- ‘the trip’, this blonde act-a-like never fails to amaze! CLAIRE: Reason for clinching "Best Actress" for 10 years: The only actress who never fails to deliver an inspiring and emotional speech at every ceremony. [thank you, you're welcome, thank you for the welcome, you're welcome for the thank you for the welcome….] ADELINE Reason for her rise to stardom: Recognised for her convincing acting skills as a glue-sniffer in the drama, "Paper rocks" Moving on... we have teacher's quotes! THIOCK: Thiock: Where will the compass point? Not at Sengkang ah! (just as we thought it was over) Thiock: Okay? So it's to the right, and to the right. But don't start singing ah! Thiock: I'm not very sure but I'm sure -nervous laughter- Qiuping: What is the data analysis (physics eya) about? Thiock: -in a matter-of-fact manner- We will give you a set of data, and youuuuuuuuuuuuuu –pauses- analyse lor! –laughter goes off tune- Thiock: If you don't do it properly, you will do it wrongly (WOW discovery of the century!) Thiock (on flemming's left hand rule): Please warm up you hands first so you don't twist them. JTEO Mr. Teo: I wer not go into this proof because we're talking about summation and everything. Quite a turnoff. Mr. Teo: So are you all satisfied [with this answer]? If you are not satisfied, I will satisfy you layer! -class gags and stones. wide-eyed- Mr. Teo: Oh ha ha ha ha ha no no no not that way –blushes- FUNELES First children are products of lust Second children are products of love Third children are products of habit and many more! AND OMG I JUST SAW GANESH'S PICTURE ON OUR CLASS GMAIL. HE LOOKS ALMOST HOT THERE. I AM AMAZED! hi mr ganesh, if you are ever reading this, give me full marks for my history essay and write me good comments okay? (ok, yunting just gave me a flabbergasted reply on msn when i told her i think ganesh looks not bad there. but jasmine agrees with me!) and according to yanyee whens he went to take pictures of the teachers, jteo took the picture 3 times, went "err my hair nt very nice", then he went to toilet to check and then he requested to look at the photos LOL. and in the email with the attached pictures were written: opps forgot to attach the photos for you guy to look at! THIOCK FUNELAS LEE TIEN GANESH JUSTIN TEO (lost for words) okay i started laughing my ass off when i saw the "lost for words", cos it's indeed very aptly phrased. if this is any indication of our yearbook, i can't wait to see the final product of it and our class video! : DDD am feeling extremely fond of 408 now. our class photos came today, and it triggered my memory of an incident. well, not quite an incident. anyway in one of the formal photoes, yumin, peiting and i were grinning widely until our eyes were like slits and our mouths covered half our faces. (ok, maybe my eyes only lah). i just remembered why we looked too happy in that picture. peiting (when the camerca man was going to snap the picture): EH HURRY UP. TELL ME A JOKE!!! yumin: you. then the 3 of us starting laughing like crazy, hence the overly bright megawatt grin. oh in the informal one? the one which i looked super unglam? yes, to defend myself, it wasn't my fault. some mean person poked me in the ribs, and knowing that i was super ticklish, i shrieked and my face convulated into some gross expression. thanks ah, to whoever you are, i owe you a bunch. whatever did i do to you?? NOW EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER ME AS SOME FREAK. oh and everyone i watching the teacher's day celebrations on youtube! jasmine and i watched it 2 days ago, yumin and huiwen are watching it today. i think i might just re watch it again too! i need a laugh. philo has added 100000 frown lines to my already wrinkled face, thank you very much. pingfang and i made a deal to look at each other right after math test and go "SHRUGS ABOURRIT" because it is really likely we'll just end up screwing it up. Both of us convinced each other online ysterday to stop studying math already and just go slack our butts off. come on, who cares? no one is going to care about a screwed up math test (among many others screwed up tests) in 10 years time! we should just enjoy life! and if justine teo didn't go through the cuve question before the test, i swear i might have failed. i am just so cool. these few days have been really tiring. when i get home, all i want to do is sleep. i hate my options schedule! it wasn't so bad at first, since i actually got thursdays and frdays off early. but no, they just had to change the entre option and now i am stuck in school monday and thursdays after 430pm. at least it's not a full day, but hello, what am i going to do during the 5half hours in between classes?! go out, that's one. and eat fast food. i am going to be broke and fat at the end of term 4! monday went out to LJS, tuesday ordered macs and mugged math ( i shouldn't have bothered), wednesday went to plaza sing and ate at food court. and its only the first 3 days! okay, whining shall stop here. i found this joke very funny, which happened during chem art option. jas: hey, put this in the dustbin! (snatches the dirty filter paper away from me and clutches it in her hands) qiuping: but it's already in one! another dustbin joke to add on to our dustbin joke collection! (yunting, what happened to our quotebook filled with dumb quotes?!) i remember another dusbin joke! i think it went something like that. (greenman pushes the huge green dustbin along the corridors. ok i'm not even what what that thing is called. it's just a huge dustbin pushcart!) qiuping (to jasmine and pointing at the green dustbin pushcart) : eh, why is he pushing your house away! something along to this extent. and i am disappointed that we won't get to paint during chem art ): i don't know how jasmine and qiuping pay attention to the colour spectrums. i totally just go into dreamland the moment ms goh opens her mouth. okay not really. it's just only when the lab is hot and the lights are switched off during the ppt slide show, but you get my point. instead of studying for philo, (i sleep in every lesson, i'm sorry mrow), i an now watching the teacher's day celebrations on youtube. they are super hilarious i am still experiencing teacher's day celebrations hang over. seriously the best teacher's day performance ever!! i realise that i am hyperventilating over an event which took place weeks ago. oh well, i need some laughter in my life. due to izzy's request for me to blog, i shall blog! but then again. there's nothing much to blog. the highlight of the week was the movie marathon of the triple Ls. (2 Ls and a loser. guess who's the loser! : DD) pigged out so much i think i ate 2 cows worth of icecream chicken sushi and chicken drumlets. it wasn't so much a movie marathon since we only watched 3 movies and half the time was spent buying food and pigging out. left wendy to her own devices while hwee and i went down to compass point (which was just next to her condo) to buy some more chicken from KFC and drumlets from Pizza Hut since the 3 of us finished 2 slices of pizza, 2 chicken drumlets and icecream soda in 20 minutes and were craving for more food. i was supposed to buy the drumlets, then look for hwee in KFC after that. after i got the drumlets. i popped over to KFC to find hwee. BUT SHE WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND! i walked 2 rounds in KFC, came out, walked 2 more rounds around compass point. panic took over me! i was without any means of communication. yeah, i left my handphone at wendy's place. so, i went to the information counter and paged for jiahui. "PAGING FOR TAN JIAHUI. CRYSTAL CHNG IS WAITING FOR YOU AT THE INFORMATION COUNTER!" did you honestly believe that? haha but i DID think of doing it, cept that i don't think i pass off as a lost kid. the woman at the counter will just stare at me for being ridiculous. so i searched for a payphone, and found one! how lucky. but too bad, i only had 50 cents with me so i had to waste my 50 cents. picked up the phone, prepared to dial hwees number. but. WHAT THE HELL IS HER NUMBER. wonderful. so i am stranded, handphoneless, looking stupid with a box of chicken drumlets. i nearly wanted to just walk back to wendy's condo. but i thought i should just try my luck with the payphone again. after numerous failed attempt, i made the connection! me: WHERE ARE YOU! !@$%^&*( shrieks and screams incoherently) hwee: i'm at the KFC counter what!!!!!!! me: DON'T LIE I COULDN'T FIND YOU! i walked like 2 COMPLETE ROUNDS around the mall and YOU. WEREN'T. THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (continues to shriek and scream incoherently) hwee: aiyar, I AM THERE OKAY! hold on. uh, can i have a 3 piece chicken set meal? 2 drumstick and a chicken thigh. oh and one mash potato and coleslaw. yeah and give me a coke.... upon hearing that, i was convined that she wasn't lying to me. i looked at the screen on the payphone and it said i still had 40 cents worth of talking time! i wasn't about to waste it. me: eh. continue talking to me! i don't want to waste my 40 cents! hwee: NO! come and find me now!!! and she hung up on me. AND WASTED MY 40 CENTS. so i went in KFC and i saw her. didn't understand why i couldn't see her the other time! so after taking the chicken, she said, XIEXIE AUNTIE! and walked away. so the auntie said, in chinese, "EH MISS. WHAT THANK YOU. you haven't paid yet!!!" and while walking back to wendy's condo... hwee: OBVIOUSLY I WOULD BE IN KFC RIGHT! what did you think, i went to explore the mall after buying the chicken is it?! me: but. i REALLY COULDN'T FIND YOU! ))): hwee: I KNOW WHY. you eye level too low for my face. and proceeds to laugh her ass off while i fumed. |
