You know what? I've decided to start my entry like I'm writing in a diary. Okay, that was a little ironic...

Dear Blogger,

Hi. I suppose this is the first time I'm addressing you like this. It's just weird. Well, I'll get used to it.

Goodness, I've been so busy with Art work this whole week. I'm super tired and I wish that I did not have to hand in my Art prep boards tomorrow. This is just what I get for not doing my work regularly.

Anyway, I went to Sarah's house to do my boards with Cassie and Sarah. All I did was re-arranging my sketches on my boards, I still have:

- Comments to write
- Sketches to touch-up
- More sketches to draw
- More painting studies to do
- And maybe a Colour Study, if possible.

Look at THAT! Blogger, don't you agree that there's just too much work to do? I still have a Biology and Chemistry Test tomorrow!

MOE is seriously stressing us out.

I know studies are important, but has any adult noticed the importance of life values?

Young adults, such as myself, have to learn about RESPECT. I've noticed that a number of teenagers are not respecting people older than them. I never learnt anything about respect 'till I met Cassie and Sarah. They showed me the meaning of respect. Gods, bless them.

By the way Blogger, I went to the NDP preview today! It was super fun. I suddenly felt that I am really attached to Singapore. Amazing, huh?

I'm very tired now. However, I have to wake up and do all my boards by tomorrow as Mr. J is sending it to Cambrigde. I have to do my boards to 'perfection'. I aim to get at least an A in my overall results; the A is coming from Art.... I hope.

Tired and Worried,
- Sakura

The Week is here! KC's traditional Book and Music Week is back!!! We had great performances and Wednesday's debate was the most informal debate I had ever came across! This was what I mean by informal:

*pen drops*
'Ah, Damnit.'

--- Later---

*something minor happens*
'Bullshit'

See what I mean? However, there's a even funnier part about this debate: The statement.

"This house believes that Phua Chu Kang should be our Prime Minister."

It was very, very entertaining.

There was a dance performance by Studio Wu (Great!). I love the dances they performed.

Well, I look forward for the debate tomorrow.

"This house believes in love at first sight"

Or something like that.

I haven't been updating my blogg from a short time... so, let's talk about Cassie's surprise Birthday Party! (I can finally say it out! Whoo hoo!)

Sat:
We (Cass, Deb, Nessa and I) went Orchard. I hardly set foot into Orchard, so Cass and Deb became my tour guides and showed me where Taka, Wisma, Pargon and Far East. It was an enjoyable 'outing'. Deb enjoyed the fact that she was pissing Cass off, and Cass was angry--no, wait-- furious with Charms as she was 2hrs late. So she ended up not turning up for the 'distraction', but she came for the party.
I stayed until 10+ for the party. That was the latest I've ever stayed outside without family members.

Mon:
Chem was very dramatic. We had practical on alcohols and esters. I did the 'ester' practical as it was 2-to-1-practical. I was doing alone as Sukhpreet didn't come.

Anyway, concentrated sulphric acid was needed in the 'ester' experiment. My expriment went well as the sweet smelling ester was formed. Then my Chem teach went 'What happened?!'
Apparently, Alisa accidentally dripped some drops of the concentrated acid onto her hand and my Chem teach gave her a BIG fuss. Looks like she's going to be a good mother.

I've noticed that our class is very noisy and untidy when it comes to Chem Practicals. If you ever step into a Chem lab with my class inside, you'll be hearing a number of test-tubes breaking, a frequent 'Ow!' or 'Ouch!' sound and, of course, constant noise.
The funny part is that our class is very quiet and neat when it comes to our Biology Practical. Weird?

Tues:
Today was irritating when it came to our Art period. Once again, my Art teach locked both the Art room doors, denying our entrance into the Art room, WHICH (might I add) contains nearly all the Art students' 'O' level coursework.

Now, isn't our Art teacher just BRILLIANT?

So Sarah and I went to the office to get the key (as usual), but our OM said we need a teacher's permission to get the key. Then we tried to look for our Art teach, who DIDN'T tell us that he was going on course today. We wasted a lot of time trying to convice the OM to give us the key. Then, we finally said,

"Our 'O' level coursework is in there and we have to hand it in by next week. Today is the only day we can finish up our Art as we have no more Art lessons due to BMW. Then, FINALLY the VP allows us to enter the Art to retrive our canvas to bring it back home. Wanna know the reason why we cannot stay in the Art room to paint? It is because....

We were left with only 10mins to the next period, which is Assembly.

It is just GREAT, isn't it? We wasted about 50mins trying to get the key to do our work, and the result?

We still didn't get the key.

However, we got to bring our 'gigantic' canvas back home! Now isn't that just stupendous?

(Yes, there is a HINT of sarcasm in the line above. Not.)

For the next 3 days, we will be wasting our time away with BMW. Not that it is not enjoyable or anything like that. Okay, I'll rephrase my sentence:

I will be enjoyingly wasting my time away with BMW.

I really like Book and Music Week, but I think I have a lot to study as my Prelims are right around the corner.

Crap, and I'm hungry. Going to bed hungry. Well, let's look on the bright side, no nightmares.

*growl* excuse my stomach,

Today was very... well... eventful, I guess. We had excersise in the morning, which I didn't enjoy very much. Math was after that. I'm so proud of myself; I finished the whole of AMKSS's paper 2!!! Although I don't think I passed for that paper, but I finished it!

Okay, I just re-read the sentence above. This is my conclusion:

I have very low standards.

Let's be realistic and change my standards from 'very low', to 'low'.

Anyway, back to my today.

Daphne got pissed when my Social Studies teacher got her to answer a question which she wasn't listening to. Then again, she doesn't listen to every S.S. lesson.

Okay, Chemistry was very comical, I guess. My Chem Teach brought a camera to take picture of all our faults. A few girls 'kana' captured by her camera.
Sukhpreet and I were on the same bench. I was doing my work when she accidentally dropped the beaker of hot water. And guess what?

Some hot water hit the girl in front of me, Ria.

She jumped out of her chair (literally) saying, "Ow!"

I feel so gulity
Thus, my first reaction was: Oh my gosh! Ria, are you okay?!

Like I said, she was in front of me, thus I moved forward to see her condition. And my chem Teach went something like:

Oh my gosh, what happen? Crystal...

Yikes, I never really liked that sort of tone. But I was too preoccupied which Ria injury, which she said was okay. Still, I felt so gulity although it wasn't my fault.

After school, I stayed back for Art. WenYing left before me, and I was left alone in the Art room, listening to radio from my phone.

Suddenly my mum called at 4.30pm, saying I have tuition at 5pm. My goodness, I totally forgot about that. Half way through the conversation, My English teacher walked into the art room! Oh my goodness... and I was on the phone with my mum in a presense of a teacher! I've otta kill myself...

So I just told my mum: Mummy, erm.. I'll call you back..

My English teacher closed one eye (phew!) and said something like this after my call:

I thought you were listening to music, not talking on the phone.

I just felt like diving into a hole in the art room and hide there till the teacher's gone. Not that I don't like her or anything, but:
I was caught be a teacher for using a handphone for conversation purposes in school.

A goody-two shoes like me got freaked out of course. But my English teacher closed an eye. God bless my English teacher.

so I rushed and packed up once she left. I reached my tuition teacher's house in my school uniform. returned home only at 6.30pm.

how tiring. I'm going out with Cassie in celebration of her birthday. Have to be at her house by 10.15am. And she hates people who are late. I'm a person who is always late; she must hate me...='(

I'm pretty worn out this week. Let's review it a little, shall we?

Monday:
Health Check Up. Totally forgot about it as I was working late the night before (on Art, which was due on Mon). Art teacher did not collect it. He was giving 'CHANCE'. I also fell asleep during tuition. One-on-one somemore.

Tuesday:
Since we were given a 'chance' to hand in our boards on tues, I worked late the night before (again). Asleep for 1hr in class. I wish to just die... panda eyes alredy. But you know what? He gave us ANOTHER chance. Hand in on Thurs. Oh yeah, and I was late for school again... darn it.

Wednesday:
Finally, I managed to 'regain' some sleep I've lost over the 2 nights. Stayed back for Bio remidal then went to PP with Sarah, Sukhpreet and Cassie. Dance class after that. It was very fun :)

Today (Thursday):
Walked to school carrying my canvas in my right hand, my boards and paints on my left. I was nearing school and I heard the National Anthem. I thought I was late; but they let me in as I came at 7.23am. Lucky...

and thus, I'm going to catch and 'refill' the Zs I've been losing. Going out with Cassie on Sat also. It's her sweet sixteen! Whee! I'm so excited for her, haha.

I've also got a 2.5mins speech to do on Tuesday. Eek! Did I mention I had a crowd phobia? I feel so stressed in crowds... I'm so gonna faint on Tuesday. But, just to remind myself, this is what I'm going to talk about.

Needs and Wants.

Knowing myself, the topic will most likely change by the end of this week. Haha...

Okay, I've gotta go cathc some Zs soon. Nightz

Nightly smiles,

Whee! Evening of Music, Dance and Drama [EMDD] was great! This year's EMDD is a Singapore version of Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew". It is something like the show, "My Fair Lady".

Anyway, Gisella got the main role. She acted as the 'shrew' called Kate. Nickname of Kate is:

Kate the Curse

Now isn't that just mean?

And the lunatic guy who 'marries' her is called Patrick.
Is it me or am I sensing something between certain schools?

Gisella looked really pretty in her wedding gown in the show. Sixteen and in a wedding gown, the lucky girl, haha...

The first night for EMDD ended fairly well. But we barely saw any KCians... Majority are the SJI guys. I felt so weird, like I'm a Girl, in a All-Boys School. Kinda weird, don't you agree?

I really wanted to watch the Gala Night instead, but all the arrangements were made. Darn it...

Well, at least there's the VCD for EMDD. I'm going to buy that CD.

Oh, art was terrible. HE returned. But the WORST part was when he asked us to finish our boards and 75% of our canvas. I have SO much to do ('cause I didn't touch my boards since mid-year).

Okay, I don't feel like blogging anymore... Nightz

*shows teeth*

It's only the third day of the second week of school and I am feeling so worn out! This is bad; how am I suppose to survive for the rest of my semester?

Actually, I had no intention to blog, but the events for today were just too, well, juicy (I guess) .

After school was just hectic today. I was suppose to go for Biology supplementary lesson at 3.15pm today. Then we heard that it was changed to 2.45pm. Thus, I had to rush my lunch into my stomach and hurry off to GS Lab with Sarah.

But, guess what?

There was only three girls in the lab with my Bio teacher. And the students were not even from our class! They were Sec2 students taking Science(And I must say, it is good that they were attending those lessons).

So, Sarah and I were the only Sec4 students in that lab. Weird, huh? Anyway, my Bio teacher got us to get the rest of the students who opted for the Wednesday sub class. When we found them, this was what they said:

I thought Bio's at 3.15?

Which, got Sarah and I confused. But since my Bio teacher got us to get them, I supposed it meant that the Bio sub class was gonna start.

I felt that I've learnt a lot about reproduction in plants after the class. I really felt much more intellectual. This is really surprising, considering that I used to fall asleep whenever my Bio teacher taught my class last year...

I went for Art with Alisa and Ness after Bio (which ended at 4.30pm). We entered a room and I thought it was Nan Xin lying on the floor crying badly. We just froze, literally. Taking a closer look, I thought that the girl looked a little like Charlotte (she's in Drama). Thus, I shifted my gaze back up to see if there was, like, some act or drama thingy going on. Only to see the faces of the 403 girls.

Then, it hit me. This was no act. That girl was crying and saying, 'pain... pain'. I really had no idea what to do. The girls in the Art room was saying, 'Just leave her alone...' And then, we put down our bags and decided to go to her. Firstly, we can't just leave her there crying and in pain. And secondly, we can't work with someone whimpering and crying, now can we?

We managed to calm her down a little, and she said her right knee hurt, bad. Then a teacher came in and he took over.

The drama part is when the paramedics came. Some men in uniforms entered and went to work. I just continued with my Art work; the paramedics can be trusted. This is to all the Gods above:

Gods, please bless the injuried girl with good health. Relieve her for the pain she is/was expriencing. Please watch over her and help her get through this ordeal.

Okay, back to the blogging. I left the Art room at about 6.15pm-ish? School closes at 6.45pm (I think). Late, right?

And I had Dance lessons at the CC after that. It was tiring and the helpers came as we were very short of guys (and I mean VERY). The ratio of males to females before the 3 helpers came:

2:6+

My Mum felt so wantd last week. Haha.
I was so distracted during dance tonight. My mind was just set on Biology, and might I add that it is one of my poorest subjects.

Today was just so wrecked up. 8 periods of Art ain't gonna help tomorrow. My Art teacher is back for his re-service (Why did not he get injuried for another 3 weeks?!).

The only thing to console me right now is that I managed to borrow 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. Another great story on Life.

I have to catch some Zs now. Been awake since 6.20am this morning. Yawn...

Sleepy Smilez,
- Sakura

Yesterday was great. I finally had a dinner+karaoke without regrets. The last 2 times my family and I had such dinners, I left the restuarant with a sense of regret. Why? 'Cause I didn't sing.

Laugh at me, I don't care. It's time for me to admit to myself that I LIKE to sing. Not that I sound wonderful when I sing... but yeah, I like to sing.

Wow, it really feels good to get something off your chest. Anyway, now that I got that confession done with, let's go on to my day today.

I had swimming at Steffi's house today. It felt so good to be back in the water. I really missed swimming. Maybe that's why I don't like seafood, haha.

Melissa, Steffi and I went. Steffi is really lucky to have a swimming pool in her estate, you can just go for a swim anytime you want.

After swimming we went to shower, clean ourselves up. Let me tell you, the bathroom there is so spacious; it is even bigger than my own bathroom. I really don't mind taking my shower there everyday.

We went back to Stef's house after that. We ate a little, than we watched a movie (Batok the Magnificent) with two tubs of Ben's and Jerry's icecream in front of us. Boy, that was good. I wouldn't be taking any icecream this week as we finished up the whole two tubs. Amazing, not?

I really enjoyed Youth Day this year, I really felt more like a teenager (for swimming), than a student. Just hang out and having fun with friends is really nice.

Sadly, there's school tomorrow. Well, all good things come to an end. Time to study for my 'O's... tomorrow. Right now, I need to sleep.

Smilez,
- Sakura
