Everybody say A-A-A-A-A-R-E-S!!!

ARES WON POP 2012!!! XDD

I really screamed like mad when the emcees
announched that the RED HOT faculty
won POP! :DD
It's not only me actually
I think almost all Aresians
screamed or cheered at the top of their voices (Y)

All of us gave it our all
During our fac dance
our cheers were louder than they were during our usual practices
Aresians just 豁出去ed and screamed our loudest ^^
This is the hiongest I've danced
I really danced with all my might leh HAHAHA
Especially after the whole school cheered and applauded for us
I felt so overwhelmed and energised
I just exploded

My poor old bones are going to suffer tomorrow
but I really enjoyed myself a lot a lot ;D

Thank you so much Ares for everything!
Awesome fac comm
Awesome dance i/cs (Y)

Haven't seen how we looked like
dancing as a faculty before
Shall wait for someone to upload on youtube
then I'll share the video with all of you here! :DD

I will miss the awesome feeling of us dancing together as one faculty

RED HOT ARES I LOVE YOU ^^

Sorry I've not been updating for so long D:
Have been dismissed at around 6pm (or later) everyday
so by the time I reach home
I'm like super brainfried already...

one sentence to summarise how I'm feeling now!

I'm missing Nanyang 408 and OG20 a lot a lot
but am starting to love HwaChong Ares and 12S72 too :)

These past few weeks in HwaChong
have really been fun and fulfilling
Have made many new friends during OG Orientation!
Even though OG20 had only been together for 4 days
we forged strong friendships and are now missing our OG like mad T.T
OG20 had really brought me loads of tears

TEARS OF JOY LA HAHAHAHA ;DD
They made me laugh til I cry!
I never thought we would all become so bonded
All of us are meeting up for lunch every now and then
and we have upcoming outings together! :D
OG 20~ (Y)

ARES!!!!! So glad to have landed up in this faculty
RED HOT ARES! GOD OF WAR~
Learnt our Ares faculty dance today afternoon!
It's the coolest dance I've ever learnt
and I'm so proud of myself
for being able to dance it not-bad-ly
and memorise the complicated but coolio hand actions!! (Y)

GO ARES!!!!!!

God has been treating me very very well
giving me 6 classmates and 3 other SAP scholars
whom I already knew quite well :)
So integrating into 12S72 isn't as big a challenge for me
compared to other people who doesn't know a single person
in their CT groups

But can't stop missing 408 D;
I remember not long ago all of us were thinking of
what to incorporate into our script for CT skit
When we suggested singing songs
I was reminded that our singer Weihui isn't here
And when Sunny Sun suggested using
Chinese calligraphy in our CT flag
I remembered Zouyan our 书法家 isn't here too

I began to appreciate 408 as a class full of talents
We are so so so awesome...

Hahahaha yaaa I know we should look forward la
I won't be stuck in the past so don't worry
我会向前看的! :DD

It's just that sometimes when I walk past the terraces
and look at our Nanyang clock tower
I will start missing the days when I would wear my hongzi
jumping and laughing like some siao gila around
我最爱最爱的学校

LOOKING FORWARD TO 2 YEARS OF AWESOMENESS IN HC TOO!
The school culture here is oooh-ah-ah-ah-ishly (Y)

:)

All of us must have changed a lot ;)

2012-01-19T01:06:00.002+08:00

Today is a funny day! Just logged into Blogger and looked at my Stats, then apparently got some person google-searched "Mr Nigel Kaw" LOL! How come Mr NK got stalker one! So shocking. I clicked on the link and browsed through the search results, then I saw a blog commenting that Mr NK is very random and lame HAHAHA in 2006. He's still like that leh he hasn't changed! XD And apparently he did a thesis essay about Superheroes or something. Moumouren if you're reading this now, do consider google-searching him. Quite interesting. HAHAHA!!!

On the way back home on the bus with Kaixuan Weihui Shumin and Xiuyi, we overheard the conversation of some HwaChong boys. Emphasise overheard! We didn't eavesdrop kay these boys were talking super loudly xO Judging from their talking style and content, should be sec ones lah. Their conversation was quite entertaining. There's this boy who kept boasting that he's taking Jap (in front of his seniors including Jap pros Xiu and Shu!) then he tried to show off by reciting 1 to 10 in Japanese but failed terribly. "Ichi Ni San Yon Go ___ Nana Hachi Kyu... eh eh eh??" OMG I laughed like mad.

For IP week activities today we had a Chemistry quiz. We were supposed to get into groups of 3 to 5 and do questions from 10 stations. It's quite (Y). 800 over students travelling around doing chemistry questions together. It's so chim! Our chiongster group totally tikam-ed a lot of questions...and got most of them wrong :P In the end when the teachers announced the top 10 groups, very epic-ly, all 10 groups were from HCI. Not even one from NY leh :OO! But I heard they exchanged answers. Nevermind we have integrity!!

Hao lah shall start reflecting on my 2011 :)

Thinking about 2011, the first thought that came to my mind was, I spent too much time on Facebook!!! ROAR. NOT GOOD! XO Even though Facebooking quite excessively didn't have a significant impact on my studies, I could have used the time to do more meaningful and enriching stuffs like reading nice books, watching nice movies and listening to nice songs. So in 2012, I shall try to lessen my time spent on Facebook :D

2011 is a special year cos, I think I grew up a bit and matured a bit through being an assistant monitor. It's different from my previous leadership roles because, there's a lot more responsibilities and work to do, a lot more communication work and decisions to be made. Through this role, I realised how hard it is to make a decision that will make everyone happy, and in this process, communication is really very important. There's one thing that I really admire Gennie about. That she takes into consideration the opinions and voices of the 'minority' and tries her best to reach a compromise. Like the start of the year when all of us were deciding on the design and colour of our class tee. Many people would have just followed the decision of the 'majority' and the 'minority' has to accept. But she tried to talk to the people who were quite against the decision made by the majority and work out on how we can make everybody happy. And I like it that she seldom takes matters into her own hands and seeks the opinions of other classmates first, via class voting etc. In 2011, working alongside Gennie really made me gain a lot of new insights on how a leader should be like. Working with her for our awesome class is really a pleasure :) I remember within the first few days after school reopened, I screwed up our first class phone relay because I slept all the way from 8pm to the next morning xP! That was then that I realised, I really had to change that very bad habit of mine, which was like checking my phone once every few hours :X! From then on, I decided that I shall always have my phone beside me just like Woonyee the 大忙人. That's the first change in me after becoming an assistant monitor. The second change should be the ability to cope with stress. HAHAHAHA there were many instances when I was dropping hair over class matters especially the Youth Day Funfair period. Got a lot of 幕后工作 but I'm really glad helpful and lovely sanbas were always there to give us super woah! suggestions to improve and help out wherever they could ^^ I think that is my 最大的满足感. That all of us had a role to play and that all of us were working towards a common goal as a class, in the process forging stronger bonds. Even though it was quite sad that we didn't collect the most amount of money, what is more important is that I think all of us had fun and 那就已经足够了 :) I should have been a more assertive partner to Gennie, and not just wait til she asked me to help. There was this period of time when a lot of YFC streets-sales sign-up sheets and sales forms flooded our class and poor Gennie was left alone flooded by those forms. So a lesson learnt is, must be more proactive and 主动!

Academics wise, I'm satisfied with myself HAHAHA but could have done better got space for improvement. I think I've managed to put in my best in whatever I do, so don't really have regrets. Quite interestingly I learnt a lot from studying too! As in not facts lah, life skills. Here of course must mention my favourite teacher! It's amazing how studying a subject can teach you values like determination and not to give up easily. Math has made me a better and stronger person, and has taught me the importance of not being complacent. Anw my favourite teacher! Every time we saw Mr Khoo when we went back and visited Nanyang, he would flash us this super bright smile! ^^ I hope Mr Khoo doesn't miss us too much :(
Haoqing: Mr Khoo you got miss me right!
Mr Khoo: Yah, I miss you......r noise
hahaha 2011, I'm glad I had manymany great and wonderful teachers whom I owe my goodgood results to. Talking about teachers...HC teachers are a bit the scary...they are really like lecturers and teachers, quite impossible to laugh and joke around with. Haiz NY chers can be like friends one lor... Anw I am glad that for our first term we have Mrs Chua with us! If I face really serious problems (which I hope I won't) I would prefer to go look for her and talk. During her briefing with us a few days ago, she told us we cannot keep thinking NY is better than HC and get stuck in the past. Which shook me quite a bit because it's true, that no matter how much we miss how it's like in NY, we can never go back. Must look forward, and make full use of what HC has to offer. So in 2012, I shall stop comparing, and embrace and adapt to the changes and differences.

As for my CCA, I think I should just reflect on my whole 4 years. Being in a slack CCA which became not so slack just last year, I must admit I really didn't put in a lot of effort into my CCA as compared to average NY girls. It's not my CCA's problem, it's my problem, because unlike Yuyao who's very passionate about Scrabble and eager to improve her skills, I'm very bochup about CCA matters and am extremely passive. During the last 4 years, there's so much I could have done like memorising my Scrabble words-list well and play online Othello and be more enthusiastic about CCA matters etc, but I guess I didnt bother to and it's too late for regrets D: I am sad that I didn't contribute much, and make my CCA a bigbig and wonderful part of my NY experience, like how it is for a lot of Nanyang girls. During my NY days, whenever I hear classmates and friends talking about CCA practices and trainings and funfun stuffs enthusiastically, I would feel sad sometimes that I'm not that connected to my CCA and that other than a few close friends I didn't really get to know my other CCA mates. So, I shall not let history repeat itself in HC! I shall attempt to join a CCA which I really feel passionate for and am interested in, and be an enthusiastic member! :) JC seems to be the wrong time to be hiong, but I'll really try my best to manage my time well and maintain balance between my studies and CCA. 青春cannot留白!!

Lastly, relationships! 2011, I have been a bad girl :( I used to pray and talk to God every night before I sleep, but in 2011 I seldom do so D: Sometimes I prayed but was so tired I ended up sleeping before I finished talking to God. But God being magnanimous forgave me and continued to give me His blessings :) 2012, I shall read the Bible more often and talk to God more frequently and be grateful to Him for everything He has bestowed to me :D

Family! Hahaha I think being a Nanyang girl taught me how to express my love more LOLS 2011 I kept proclaiming my love for my family members to them and received mixed reactions. My mother began proclaiming her love for us also and say I very 孝顺; Popo and daddy will just smile happily; Elton and Amelia totally reject my love and tell me I'm 恶心 hmph :( but of course when their mood is good they will tell me they love me too (followed by "eee I take back my words" but I know it's true and they're too shy) which makes me awww ;D I think it's important that we show our love and appreciation towards our family members, especially towards our 长辈s who have sacrificed so much to raise us up. I think for them, just knowing that we love and care for them too is enough :) 2012, I shall strive to be a more patient and loving sister to my brother cos this year is an important year for him!!! O LEVELS. Poor Elton is stressed and tired. So I must do my part to helppppp~ Even though my teaching skills seriously... CMI :(

Friends! I feel reallyreally fortunate and grateful for having so many wonderful people in my life who are always willing to lend me a helping hand whenever I malu or fail; and so many bright-like-sun people who have brought so much joy and laughter into my life; and really great people who have inspired me to become a better person. I shan't mention names here, because manymany of you are important to me. Sekali I write then yall will start seeing whose names appear first then think they are more important or something LOLS. 你们都很好我很爱你们. Those closer to me yall know who you are la don't need me to mention names here hahaha ;D I don't know what kind of friend I am, but I hope I have been a not bad friend to yall too :) 2011, there were minor clashes here and there with friends, but I'm glad that we managed to resolve them, and in some cases knew more about each other and learnt to tolerate and accept ;D 2012, I shall strive to be a listening friend, the always there for yall type. Hope can :):)

I shall summarise 2011 with a sentence, something that I realised is really true:
比起结果，过程还是更重要

After working for the first time in our lives, Haoqing Weihui Kaixuan and I were sharing with each other our 辛酸 stories of how we learnt English when we were young. Cos my family members don't really know English, I had quite a hard time learning the language I'm typing in now. Hahaha I feel so accomplished all of a sudden ^^ I remember in K1, our teacher gave each of us a worksheet, and I didn't know what "NAME" is. There's a blank beside that word, so I just copied the classmate sitting beside me and wrote her name. After that she realised and complained to the teacher, then the teacher scolded me and I felt so sad D:

Then there's another time in P1, we were writing our first picture composition. My English was really CMI. I couldn't use the language to express myself at all and didn't know how to. So I resorted to copying one whole short story from an Enid Blyton storybook and handed it in to my teacher. One fine day my teacher summoned me up to the front of the class where the teacher's table was and told me that I had to redo it. She tried to help me but couldn't cos I was so clueless and didn't know what to do. She eventually got so desperate she said to me in a veryvery 无奈 and irritated tone, “告诉我你要写什么！讲华语！” I was so scared and helpless I burst out crying in front of the whole class.

Later that year cos end-of-years was coming, my popo decided to lock me up inside a room and made me read my textbooks manymany times. If I am not wrong, I remember reading my English textbook (Celebrate English!) 3 or 4 times. The whole thing kay! Hahaha I am very amazed at how ting hua I was then. If my popo do the same thing to me now I would most probably be rebellious and sleep. :P Anw popo's method worked and I got Band 1 for English :) Super duper grateful to popo cos if not for her strict discipline 我不可能会成为今天的我 ;D

With this 心酸 de story, hopefully I can inspire all of you and remind myself to not give up no matter how difficult a situation may be. If a 7 year-old girl could find the courage to persevere and push herself on, I don't see why we can't. As long as we're willing to work hard, 总有一天应该会成功的 :DD JIAYOUUU~!!! And 千万不要怕辛苦 :) 2012, 我们一起努力！

Shall end off this blog post with something quite funny when we crashed NY on 3 Jan!

Mr Tan Boon Hian: "If you don't take Physics, don't come and see me!"

HAHAHAHAHA XDD!

I am not taking Physics leh :O Shumin Kaixuan Hilary Xiuyi Limin Chiaying Woonyee Sinlie also :X

But don't worry Mr Tan we will still go and visit you!

2012-01-10T00:37:00.002+08:00

It has been an overwhelming day. It's been such a long time since I last felt so overwhelmed I need to take time out to reflect on the day. I shall shun bian reflect on 2011 too! :D Firstly I would like to share with all of you something which truly made my day!! My primary school friend Cheryl is coming to join us in Hwa Chong! ^^ Everybody please 关照 her thank you thank you! :DD The funny thing is, we were in the same bus and she saw me when I got on the bus with my beloved sanbas, but she wasn't sure whether it was me. And it was only until we were going to get off the bus that I saw her, and she told me she's coming to HC. Instantaneous burst of joy!!! XD And I really like how both of us were so happy and smiled so brightly to each other through the bus window thingy ;DD Super 有缘份 (Y)!

Met up with Shumin Xiuyi Hsiuyee Chiaying Weihui Baobao and Kaixuan (in order of appearance :P) early in the morning to do weird stuffs! Like examining the staff board which has always been our favourite hobby hahaha! :DD There are manymany new and unfamiliar faces. New teachers. New blood! :) While taking a leisurely stroll around the school, we realised the Science department has been relocated to the Science block :OO quite cool. And hahaha we wrote a note to Ms Chee in which all of us wrote one word each! We wrote something like "Hi Miss Chee! Guess who are we!" I wonder if Ms Chee can decipher our handwritings O.O I think it's a bit challenging :P But I hope she can!! Then later on we saw Mr Chong who's still so epic and funny. "How come you all not wearing your JC uniform? Nanyang's uniform is still the best right" LOL!! ^^ But really, I love our hongzi :) The most epic thing is, while strolling in the Science Block and peeking into the classrooms opposite us, I thought I saw Mr Khoo when we drifted past. My fangirling mode was switched on and I began exclaiming "Mr Khoo! Mr Khoo!". Weihui also thought that teacher was Mr Khoo so she began exclaiming with me too. After taking a closer look, we realised it's not Mr Khoo, but Mr Calvin Lee instead! Malu to the max x__x

It's really nice to be around 我最爱的三八s again! x3 All of us were so happy to see each other ^^ Even though Sinlie kept suanning my hair say I look more 师奶, I think she's happy to see me too cos she kept smiling very happily at me HAHAHAHA!!! xD I LOVE YOU TOO SINLIE!!! x3 Spent the afternoon playing bridge with Danielle, Sarah and Samantha. Samantha is an extreme 赌鬼 seriously I suspect she won't be able to live without bridge and poker cards! When I told her I brought poker cards, I practically saw the glow in her eyes @__@ We were partners and our cards were super lan :( but nehmind. Sammie is pro! (Y) We were so absorbed in our game that when Mr Tay walked past and wished us good luck, all of us just nodded and went back to our game HAHAHAHA!!! :X Sanbas should have said "thank you Mr Tay" as a class with that guaikia tone~ But I'm sure all of us appreciated Mr Tay's care and concern la :) Daebak cher! (Y)

Results! Was quite nervous because Yang Laoshi was smiling the "looks pleased, but like not very pleased" smile then Hilary and I began to worry if it's because we didn't do well :( And HAHAHA Hilary and I were totally cheering when one of the slides showed that there's 100% pass for Jap and French xD Quite pleased with my results la, even though I could have done better for Jap. Could have studied harder and put in more effort. I got the same grade as my Prelims! So I 原地踏步ed. Not bad la not bad. Just that it's quite paiseh cos I kept telling Weihui on FB chats, "we sure can get A2 one lah! don't worry! A1 will be a bonus!"

=.=ll

And during the results thingy, Mdm Heng was telling us about the various upcoming events in which we can come back and participate in. Like the CNY concert, prize-giving and High Tea. I burst out laughing with Hilary when we saw the "High Tea"! HAHAHA we were excited about the food. yum food ;) die also must crawl back. Other than being quite amused, I was feeling touched. Cos our 娘家 took so much effort to organise these activities for us, so that we can come back and visit. and maybe even rant. ;D even though we have graduated, they are still concerned about our well-being as well as the problems we are going to face across the bridge, and will do their best to help us. 娘家 is really an apt word to describe the relationship between us and Nanyang. 娘家随时欢迎我们回去 ^^ I know I said this manymany times before, I just want to say I'm so glad I came to Nanyang :D

After the results thingy was our class outing! :DD Woah I really stressed a lot over organising this outing, cos different people want to do different things, but I'm really glad sanbas are very 好商量的 people and they are willing to compromise so in the end we could all go watch a movie together!! Although yes, the movie really quite errr... x__x the boy is cute! and it's quite funny ;D I just hope all of us had a good time together with all of us and enjoyed the outing! One lesson I learnt from this outing is that, watching movies is not so good for bonding! I think we enjoyed the bus trips and our dinner together more LOL cos we had the chance to talk. and gossip. :X like what subject combis we are taking and what ccas we are intending to join etc. So! I am enlightened. For our next outing, unless the movie is very nice and sanbas reallyreally want to watch it, we shall not watch a movie again!

LET'S PICNIC INSTEAD!!!

Then we can slowly talk! From morning til dusk!

-Facepalms- xO

I shall reflect on my 2011 in the next blog post instead. Talk too much already scared yall and the future me cannot digest :OO And yes before I end! Just watched our batch's batch song and dance (http://hcunite.com/?p=5471 Thank you Hilary for sharing!) The song is nice the lyrics are meaningful and the dance is cool too! (Y) But personally I think the song choice for the dance is a bit...

hahahaha... inappropriate... :X

oh well! Maybe it's cos the rhythm and the beats in the song enhances the coolness of the dance :):)

I forgot to kope the Nanyang diary pages for 2012 from the General Office! NOOOOO~ Dx

2012-01-05T23:40:00.002+08:00

CGG outing started with 3 members being late! :X
Erntian was late for 10 minutes
Jermia was late for 20 minutes
and Woonyee was late for 30 minutes
Poor Yushan and Jiexi had to wait for us! :P

Had loads of fun teaching Woonyee how to cycle! ^^
Cos in the process we kept singing songs and doing gila stuffs
like singing and dancing to Wonder Girls' "Be My Baby" :):)
Laughed like mad when Jiexi did Yuri's part in The Boys!!
The "girls bring the boys out!" part
Can't stop laughing whenever the image of Auntie Jiexi
doing 早操 flashes through my mind ;D

Under CGG's guidance
(mainly Erntian Jiexi and me only
cos Yushan was a super fail shifu! xP
While all of us were explaining to Woon the techniques
Yushan kept saying, "it's instinct!"
which didn't really help lor!)
Woonyee has made great progress!
Haiz wanted to buy a birthday cake
to celebrate WoonJie's birthdays
but Woonyee the 大忙人 had to fly off to somewhere else
so we didn't buy in the end D:

So the four of us went to Pastamania to have lunch
where we talked about how
we came to be known as CGG! xDD
Apparently one fine day the 5 of us
were having lunch in the canteen and
having our usual aunties' talk
We were discussing the cliques in 204
then Yushan suggested giving a name to each of the clique
in which Jiexi replied something like
"Then we are what! Cool Girls' Gang ah!"

When she said this
Anne Hwarng happened to pass by and heard everything
then she spreaded the Cool Girls' Gang thingy to the whole class!
After that various gangs began to pop out too
Like Haoqing and Minghui's Cool Boys' Gang
and Anne Hwarng's Super Cool Boys' Gang
Hahahaha!! Those lamelame 204 days ;D

After that we went to Giant
where we walked around the toys section
and reminisced our childhood days
in which nearly all of us had a beyblade!
We'd compete and see whose beyblade would spin the longest (Y)
Then whenever we pulled our beyblades we would shout
"GO BEYBLADE!!!" XD

Some random stuffs before I continue
with my second round of lunwen chionging! :D

I'm super glad and delighted that
recently I've been keeping in touch
with primary school friends again! \(^^)/
Like Cherie Kawing Cheryl Andrew and Hwang Se Min
who's in Dubai! :D
The Kimchi told me a super duper cool thing (Y)

Got one day his father bought some eggs
but accidentally dropped one
Then the egg cracked and sizzled! :OO!
Cos that time the temperature in Dubai was around 50 d/c
I was wondering how they actually survive there
then Kimchi told me the people there don't walk on streets at all
They travel using cars
and that the Dubai government actually gives every citizen
a car or something O__O! FOR FREEEEE
An Emirati (?) family has an average of 3 cars and 3 houses!
xOO

So rich I don't think I'll ever have the chance to live there =/

And orh hor he still 死性不改
use facebook during lessons! tsktsk

Read one of Haohao's blog posts
and cried upon reading this sentence:
"这里是我的娘家，是充满着无数回忆的地方，是充满汗水、充满泪水的地方，是无可取代的地方。
是我最爱的地方。"

Miss going to school so much D;
Of course lah I'm Jermia the Schoolgirl mah -omg pukes-
The more I think about it
the more I feel my blog's url is super lameee! Dx
But I won't ever change it
even after I become a toothless 100 year old old lady :P
Don't laugh hor! I thought of this url name when I was in P6
so yall must understand~ :D
I remember when Uncle Samuel wanted to help me
create my first email address when I was 10
he asked me what username I wanted
then I wrote down for him something like

jermiacutepets1995

or something more ridiculous x__x
Luckily Uncle Samuel didn't let me have my way!
He helped me create a more normal-sounding email address
But at that time I was quite angry with him
cos my email address don't have cutepets in it xO!

Inspired by Hilary's most recent blog post
I shall do a reflection of 2011
and write about lame people crashing Nanyang
on the first day of school
in the next blog post!
;D

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! :D

2012 started on a happy note with a sudden
flood and spammage of new year greetings smses
I feel loved and touched
Thank you sweethearts! x3
Really hope 2012 will be an awesome and fruitful year
for all of us ^^

Even though it has only just started
I'm looking forward to the rest of the year already! :)
There are so many fun and exciting activities ahead like
crashing Nanyang on the first day of school
bridge lesson(s) with shifu and shiniang
working for the first time in my life :OO
408 class gathering ^^
as well as our much anticipated CGG outing
to celebrate Auntie Jiexi and Woody's birthdays! XD

I'm sure 2012 is filled with hope and excitement for you too!
Let's all jiayou together in the year ahead :):)

I think because of the Mayan "end of world" prediction
or however you call it
whenever I see 2012 I'll think of the following:

不能同年同月同日生
也要同年同月同日同时同分同秒死

:X

But diao who believes in that larh
We'll all survive 21 December
Online on Facebook :)

Shall really strive to live life to the fullest this year
cos 青春不可以留白!! ^^ -starts singing-
青春是本钱 so must 把握 (Y)
I want to create manymany beautiful and fun memories
and write all of them down in this blog
Then when I grow up and come back to read all these blog posts
I can smile and laugh thinking that
我的青春是精彩又充实的！:DD

突然觉得
这个世界
真的好美丽

2011-12-26T03:27:00.003+08:00

Happy birthday Lord Jesus! xoxo
Merry Christmas everybody! :DD
On this special day
have a fun time unwrapping your presents (if you have)
and may all your wishes come true! ^^

Had a very meaningful Christmas Eve
spent with Weihui Kaixuan Baobao XiaoXiu Cecilia Gennie Chiaying and HaoMing
doing flag day CIP for Special Olympics :D
Once again I'm touched by the generosity of Singaporeans :)
Most of them do donate!
Even though some of them didn't donate
they were really nice and smiley which made my day too! :DD

Not like those people who just dao-ed us with that bu shuang look
and used the 'stop' sign and even pointed their second fingers
with that "cool" looks on their faces
I think they attempted to "SHHHHH" us bleh! xP

Walked more than half of Chinatown with Baobao!
Took this opportunity to burn off fats accumulated during the hols
YAYYY (Y)!
Doing flag day with Baobao is fun!
Cos whenever we see interesting people and incidents
we would share with each other and laugh xD!!
There was once the both of us walked til we were dying already
then a guy who walked past us
suddenly blasted the "我问天" song which scared us so much
I think my heart and brain jumped up 1cm each for 1 second xO

We revived.

In the meanwhile
Kaixuan and Weihui were standing guard outside
Chinatown MRT station they looked like 守门神s HAHAHAHA xDD!

There was this guy who told me and Baobao
he couldn't donate cos he "didn't have coins"
The best part was he tapped his pocket
in an attempt to show that he wasn't lying
but the "chinkchink" coins sound totally gave him off lor! :P
I think he felt paiseh so he immediately walked off
Haiz cheat our feelings D:

Got another time we walked around a hawker centre
asking for donations
Then there was this uncle who stopped us
and started giving the both of us a 10 min long lecture! x__x
I don't know what's the purpose behind his lecture
he just kept criticising the government saying that
the government should donate the same amount of money
the people donated
Luckily the person he lectured wasn't Weihui LOL!! ;DD

Initially I was okay with him talking to us
until he started quoting 李敖 whom I reallyreally dislike
saying that Singaporeans are stupid!
He said that 李敖 being a clever writer who won many awards
must have his reasons for saying that
But isn't that super disrespectful? 狗眼看人低 totally
The main point is 别人可以看不起我们
可是我们不可以看不起自己!
I began 笑里藏刀ing until he said that
if he were more educated he would write and criticise
then I replied saying 我长大后会写的
which made him speechless... and smile? =/
And both of us left :P

After that Baobao and I walked and walked
from the hawker centre all the way to the Subordinate Courts! ^^
I'm so proud of us hahaha!
We walked past a cafe called Breakthrough Cafe
where a guy began to wave to us enthusiastically
asking us to go in
And once we went in all the employees in there began to donate!
Even the coffee-maker and the trolley-pusher!
I was super shocked by their generosity
The person who asked us to go in kept saying
“你们一个都不要放过！” hahaha! super cute seriously
but of course we 不好意思 to ask everybody lah

They are very warm and cheerful people ^^
When we were about to leave
the guy began telling us that the employees there
are actually former drug addicts
who are determined to turn over a new leaf and work hard
What touched me even more was that
I could feel their sincerity and enthusiasm
as well as their determination to lead a better life :):)

I thought it's reallyreally nice that we had stumbled
into this cafe knowing that the love and power of God
transformed the lives of these people
on Christmas Eve! :DD It's fate ^^
Through the love of God they found the courage
to not hide their pasts but face it bravely
And now they are able to give back to society in their own ways!
So happy for them :DDD Hallelujah!

Wanted to lunch there but it was raining heavily
and all of us were very tired already
Felt so guilty cos I called them many times to 找路!
I'm a sinner :(:( must go back there sometime soon!!!

Doing flag day with Haoqing is fun too! ^^
There were many times when she wanted to come tell us
her funny and epic donation stories
but once she started telling her stories
the stories' characters would somehow walk past us
and catch us 'badmouthing' them AHAHAHAHA!! XDD
Poor Haoqing! :P

After our flag day CIP we went to Orchard ION together
Cos we didn't know what to do next
all of us were gathering outside Cotton On
While all of us were discussing
I began to notice from the corner of my eye
a man standing outside Cotton On stoning
Then I was wondering how come this guy so weird
stand there block the entrance
Then on a closer look I realise it's Mr James Tan! :DDD
He said he was doing last minute shopping hahaha!
Aiyo should have shun bian asked him to treat us to ice-creams
as Christmas presents :OO

Kaixuan very smartly and considerately brought
a set of poker cards! ^^
I was dying but once I heard about her cards
I felt instantly high and rejuvenated xDD!
Then we decided to go to Scape to play cards
where we saw 2 groups of magicians :O
Frankly speaking their magic tricks weren't that impressive :X
Cos we being smart sanbas saw through quite a few of their tricks!
We still cheered and applauded for them nonetheless
but I think they could tell we weren't really impressed :P Psps!

On Christmas today I'm grateful for having 2 siblings
to entertain me and prevent me from decomposing
during this longlong December holidays! :D
There were days when the three of us would
wake up at/stay up til 7am and go down buy breakfast (:X)

Sometimes late at night when we feel hungry
we will cook stuffs to eat!
When we get discovered by popo while cooking
our clearing up speed is super duper amazing (Y)
Within 3 minutes we can run away and escape to our rooms
with packets of uncooked food plates of cooked food
pot of cooking-in-progress food cutlery knives
and everything else
We can escape undetected and there's no evidence popo can find!
Totally is 三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮 ^^

The good thing about having 2 other siblings is
cos there are 3 of us
whenever we argue it will always be 1 against 2
And based on past experiences the loner super poor thing
kena discriminated
So we will always try our best to maintain harmony
by caring and sharing and be loving siblings to each other :)

I shall make a Christmas confession! :OO
I used to be a compulsive liar when I was a kid :X
Cos when we were young the 3 of us would always
fight over chicken drumsticks
So being a scheming and evil girl
one fine day I decided to lie to them and tell them
actually chicken wings are more delicious!
Then the two of them really took the wings instead
Seeing the two of them eating the wings so happily
I took a chicken wing to eat also and realised
the wings are really nicer!!! xO xO
I was so sad! D;

I don't know what's that called
the three of us don't like to eat the
brown parts of a loaf of bread
Normally when we buy a loaf of bread
the top and the bottom slices will have the brown one mah
So got another day the three of us were eating bread with popo
Then I told Elton and Amelia
actually the brown breads are made up of chocolate
that's why they are brown!
The two of them believed me and started snatching
brown breads for a few times
until they began to realise that their dear jiejie cheated them again la :X

I think God decided to punish me
and took away my ability to lie :OO
I can't lie I will just give myself away somehow
Mostly through smiling and laughing uncontrollably
haiz :P

Wanted to post Weihui's army boy story today
but she forgot to type out on Facebook just now
nehnehnehpoopoo~! :P

Didn't receive any Christmas present this year
which is kinda sad but it's okay :)
Quoting 我可能不会爱你:

因为我本人就是上帝带给这个世界的礼物

HAHAHAHAHA so zilian yucks! xP
Merry Christmas everyone!
你们也是上帝带给这个世界的礼物！
至少对我来说，你是上帝带给我的礼物 :3

2011-12-18T00:24:00.003+08:00

Grad ceremony was cheerful
HAHAHA 谢谢你 for not closing your tab
immediately after reading the first sentence above! ^^
Phew I finally finished my lunwen draft :D
I'm super duper sorry for not blogging all these while
(1 month and 13 days :OO)
especially because Weihui and Shumin have been
haunting me for a new blog post
有些晚上我是带着愧疚的心情入眠的
-90 degrees bow-

Talking about sleeping!
a few nights ago I had a very funny dream
I dreamt that I was cabbing with Weihui Minghui and Haoqing
We were on our way to the airport
cos we were going somewhere for an immersion
Then suddenly I realised I only had my backpack with me
and forgot to pack my luggage somemore!
I called my father who screamed at me over the phone
then don't know how I suddenly teleported back home
and everybody boarded the plane without meh D;

After that Seow Jiexi called me
and asked me to help her break a code
cos if she succeeded
she could win the supermarket lucky draw HAHAHA!!! XDD
My dream ends here
and my conclusion is Jiexi's auntie image is too
深深地刻在我的脑袋里了 :P

Just visited our Nanyang school website!
Out of curiosity and ultimate boliao-ness
I went to click on the "Sec 1 Registration" link
Everything looked so familiar :D
Looking through all those Sec 1 Orientation stuffs and textbooks list
brought back a lot of very fond memories :):)
So 心酸 and jealous D:

Umm let's talk about our class chalet! ;DD
We are like a model class full of 赌鬼s
I realise a lot of us know how to play taiti bridge and mahjong
All three of them kay! And that includes me la of course
My greatest achievement from our class chalet is
I learnt how to play mahjong from my shifu Gennie! HAHAHA xD
I think whenever we weren't eating or sleeping
we played mahjong or pocker cards
Our class is too cool (Y)
We transformed the whole chalet into a gambling den

OHHH the coolest thing is
our chalet is just opposite Changi Hospital
not Changi General Hospital but the old and supposedly haunted one
Hilary and I researched on it on the first night
and apparently there's a guardman guarding it
so braveeee :OO

Another 收获 I got from the class chalet is
I learnt a lot about certain classmates' sleeping habits xDD
OMG laughed a lot on our first 浪漫的夜晚 together
That time Shumin suddenly woke up in the dark
and asked the person sleeping beside her (Weihui)
"who are you?"
Then she took her torchlight and shined it on Weihui's face
saying "you look like an Indian" with her sleepy-sounding voice
which made all of us laugh like mad
The funniest thing is a few seconds after all of us laughed
Shumin said "ha ha ha so funny"
HAHAHAHA XDD!!!

Brenda was super cute too!
She slept so much that got one time when she came down to eat
Xiuyi said "好久不见！I realise I very long never see you already" (Y)
On the first night 13 of us were squeezing in one room
so we were trying to create space for people to sleep
Then Hilary tried to wake Brenda up so that Brenda could move in
then Brenda said "can you move my pillow along with my head on it?"
And when Hilary moved her pillow
Brenda's head really sticked to that pillow throughout!
Omg 笑死我了 ;D!

Attempted not to sleep that night so that
we could catch the sunrise on the following day
Cos Weihui couldn't sleep also
the two of us decided to go out of the room and roam around
But once we were at the staircase
a cockroach blocked our way! xO
Talking about cockroaches that stupiak chalet
has loads of them! Dx
Luckily we have Chiaying who killed about 2 or 3 of them for us :DD!

And I realise everytime there's a cockroach
Jermia(14) Hilary(15) and Sinlie(16) would run the fastest and furthest
:X!

Back to the late at night cockroach story
Both of us are scared of cockroaches
so when Woonyee walked past she became our hero
(although Woon herself is also scared of cockroaches)
and killed the cockroach with her slipppers!
She continued throwing her slippers at the cockroach
even after it died long long ago
which was so comical Weihui and I laughed like mad
while Woon was struggling and being freaked out
Sorry Woon 我们对不起你! x__x

Second day! We had our class barbeque
It was then that I realised our classmates are scared of cats O.O
We named one of the cats there "Poopy"!
I still don't know why we named it Poopy
its colour is not like poop and I didn't see it poop .__.ll
Initially I'm not scared of cats de lor
but cos 408-ers were screaming whenever the cats were near
I began to be scared of them too :O
Especially when they straighten their tails
or stretch their bodies
I think both of them are from Chinese Dance o.o

Many teachers were overseas
so they missed the chance to eat the yummy food we cooked :P
The invitation process was epic cos firstly
Weihui sent an SMS to Mr Tan Boon Hian saying something like
"Hi Mr Tan 408 is having a class chalet now"
How to reply lah!
"oh okay have a fun time" :P

Haoqing also sent an SMS to Mr Khoo inviting him to our class bbq
and he replied saying something like
"...it's not 'we will like to'. It is 'we would like to'. Sorry just a teacher's habit"
Mr Khoo is still so cool even when he's travelling! ^^
In the end Mrs Lai came! :DD
She's so nice she came to join us before her doctor's appointment
and gave each of us a bigbig hug before she left ;)

Nearly forgot to blog about our class chalet charades!
It was super duper entertaining!
Cos we being very creative and evil sanbas
came out with phrases like
"Afghanistan Army" "Orang Utan in Bintan with Tony Tan"
and my favourite "Mr Khoo singing 'The Boys' with Haoqing" (Y)!
Weihui and Puilin's group was ultra evil!!
I remember "Nokia" "Qantas Airlines" "Chopin" "Beethoven"
and "mudskipper" which is so hard to act out
Minghui kept pointing to her butt I thought she meant "baboon" -.-ll

All in all thank you Haoqing for planning the games!
And thank you Shumin for organising this funfun class chalet!
你们太棒了 x3 x3

Weihui I know you must be anticipating your army boy story
but I can't really remember
so you type out then I copy and paste into my next blog post bah! xD
Your story should be no more than 500 words in length
and submitted in Microsoft Word format
preferably with 1 or 2 accompanying photographs with captions
Hahaha!! Just joking la :)

I want to read people's stories in
Nanyang 95th Anniversary - Sweet Memories :DD
Must be super interesting and touching

I finally know who is Aaron Tan! He's one of the most vulgar person I've ever seen. =/ MrBrown's parody of his video made my dayyy ^^

2011-11-05T12:20:00.013+08:00

Grad ceremony was cheerful
because 408 was high-ing over
classmates' achievements and the 408 model class award
and when teachers went up to speak!
(with the popping of the toilet roll looking like thingy xD)
I love it when our whole class stood up and applauded for Mrs Lai
and later the moment when the whole cohort
stood up and applauded for Mrs Wong too ;D

I was assured that even though I've graduated
Nanyang will still be my home
and I'm always welcomed back to visit the school and the chers
Coupled with the fact that most of us are SAP scholars
we might end up in the same class and may not be separated!
As a result when the whole world was crying
I assured people that we'll still be together

I actually cried at the weirdest of times
The screening of the school corporate video

But today morning as I read the statuses on facebook
I realised that graduation also meant that
we won't be able to hear Mdm Heng speak during assemblies
and see Mrs Phua give us her deathly glare to quieten us down
408 won't have the chance to sit together in our
ulu but cosy classroom anymore
having fun lessons whereby some of our classmates
would talk back to teachers in hilarious conversations
and when all of us would laugh like mad at Mr Khoo's jokes
Mrs Lai's funny stories and Mr Tay's wrong pronunciation of words
I will miss all of our teachers who love and care for us so much
Then I began crying like mad
I just depleted my sister's loony tunes tissue box

408 has been my source of love and strength
Yesterday when I was feeling nervous over the speech
all I had to do was to look at the smiles of 408-ers
and I felt so empowered and confident
I felt proud that I was representing an
awesome and wonderful class
and that even if I failed terribly
408-ers being super duper supportive and loving friends
would smile and hug me telling me that it's okay

And teachers too
Ms Chee's super bright smile
and Mr Khoo's look on his face which was full of pride
I think Mr Kaw attempted to make us feel less nervous
by telling Gennie
"This is the whitest pair of shoes I think I've ever seen!"

Nanyang teachers are the best I've ever known
in the 13 years of my schooling life
and I think they will still be after I finish
my next 2 years of education

They are like friends
always ready to go beyond their scope of duties and help us
always taking care of our emotional needs
and can somehow detect our sadness and emo-ness
without us telling them

Okie now that I'm feeling more sane
I shall start thanking teachers one by one
which Gennie and I intended to do during the ceremony
but couldn't due to time constraint
(排名is according to the EOY subjects exams de dates :P)

Yang Laoshi is a teacher whom I had mixed feelings for
but recently I've come to realise that contrary to popular beliefs
she gives us space to do what we want and listens
if we actually dare to tell her
Like for the grad speech initially she edited it until
we couldn't recognise it anymore
It was really nice but Gennie and I hoped that
the speech we would be saying could express
what we really wanted to say and was written from us and us only
we told her and she accepted it
and she wasn't unhappy about it too :)

And she really put in a lot of effort teaching us
spending countless sleepless nights marking our assignments
and emphasising relentlessly the 技巧s needed
Even though there were times when the things she did or said
we didn't really like
I must say that I have learnt a lot from her these 2 years
especially 待人处事的道理
I won't forget the smiles and encouragements she had given us
谢谢老师 :D

Even though Mr Kaw only taught us for a year
he's like a friend whom we had known for a long time
Towards the end of the year we could feel that
Mr Kaw likes our class a lot and I'm really proud of this fact
He may seem bo chup at times
but he actually helps and cares for us in his own ways
like when he made us go up to the whiteboard and write stuffs
we were like "nooooo dunwan"
but actually he was helping us to pull up our class participation marks
As a result all of us got at least an 8 I think :)
And he gave us chocolates before our EOYs exams!

One thing I'll never forget is that time when he helped us for YDF
He was the one who suggested us to look for Mdm Heng :D!
If not for his encouragement and guidance
I think we would not have the courage to go look for her
and in the end making our YDF event a successful and happy one
I'll never forget how bright his smile was in the GO
Last but not least I've never written this in my blog before I think
During IM2 EOYs I was stuck at 2 questions worth 10 marks
then Mr Kaw was walking past and I asked for a piece of paper
but he gave me a few pieces of paper which amazed me
Then a miracle happened!! Right after he left
I suddenly became ultra-enlightened
and knew how to do those questions!
I'm still very amazed
I have no idea why the “财神到~" song is playing in my head now
Thank you Mr Kaw!!

Mr Tay is one of the most dedicated teachers I've ever known
always willing to sacrifice his breaks to give us remedial and lessons
I remember last year he met us manymany times
to help us with our IH SIA and topical presentations
both of which were things he wasn't required to do
The other day I was reading through the requirements for
"The Caring Teacher Award" then I realised
he actually fulfills all of them:

-Shown care and concern for you and your class
(Remember the day when he asked us to stay back after school
asking us to be independent in JC and jiayou? :D)
-Asked you to submit your assignments so that he can give you feedback so you may improve
(he always gave us so many comments
our graded as well as ungraded work become 满江红)
-Stayed back after school with you to give you "tuition"
-Sacrificed his recess to listen to you/for remedial
-Sacrificed his weekend to mark your late assignments
-Gone beyond his call of duty
Other than the qualities mentioned above
he entertained and kept us awake with jokes too! xD
Thank you Mr Tay for being such a wonderful cher!

Ms Chee is the cutest cher! :P
I'll never forget how hard she laughed at pre-ejaculation
and how amused she was at my
inability to spot camouflaging animals xD
I hope she will accept all of our friends requests soon
then I can play Maplestory Adventures with her!!! ^^
And she's one very awesome teacher
who makes it a point to make her lessons
interesting and engaging so that we would
make the best out of her lessons and love bio

We can see it from the small little jokes in her bio notes
to those funfun hands-on lessons whereby
we cut and pasted strips of paper
walked around the bio lab looking for and practising questions
rushed up to the whiteboard to chope and answer questions
and when all of us took questions cards
answering and asking questions like games show hosts ;D
While all of us were having loads of fun
Ms Chee was standing at the side taking photos of all of us
We didn't understand why she did that then
but we think she wanted to help us keep those happy memories
and at the same time keep those photos for herself
in case she misses us AHAHAHAHA xDD -zilians-
Thank you Ms Chee!! Thank you for your marshmallows too :):)

Mr Khoo is a teacher who inspires me the most
someone whom I really respect a lot
because frankly speaking I didn't like him at first :X
But as time passed and we got to know him better
I realised that everything he did was actually for our own good
Even though he kept deducting marks for our presentation
we find ourselves taking effort to make sure we
present our ideas clearly and in the end we really improved a lot
And even though his speed of teaching wasn't as fast
we realised that was because he wanted to make sure that
all of us understood clearly what was being taught

As a result when we solve math questions
we know what we are doing and why we are doing it that way
Quotes like "Math is not about memorising; it's about understanding"
"if you want to be good at something, you have to be passionate about it"
and "when you do things, you have to do it right"
will stay with me for life and push me on to put in my best
in whatever I do
I'll never forget the encouragement he gave me
when I did poorly for Block Test 2
spurring me to work harder for math
and teaching me the importance of not being complacent
Some people told me that Mr Khoo smiled brightly
when I went up to receive the Nanyang Star Award! :DD
Even though I didn't see it
thank you so much Mr Khoo :DD

Mrs Lai our most caring teacher! :DD
She always puts the needs of other people above her own
Like how she 无怨无悔地 checked our NYAA booklets carefully
and setting extra quizzes so as to pull up our chemistry marks
She had been a very supportive form teacher
always lending us her helping hand during school events
like the YDF and Chinese New Year decoration :)
She's like our mother
always ensuring that we are healthy and that
we study in a clean environment by
asking us to drink more water and clean up our classroom xD
And recently she gave each of us a bottle of chicken essence
for our HCL Os

She's a teacher who touched us with her 细心的照顾
I'll never forget the funny life stories she shared with us
while going through with us stuffs in our PCCG booklet
and her very encouraging smile
be it in bad or good times
When giving us the bottles of chicken essence
she told Gennie and me that when she woke up at 4am
to write the citations for model class
she cried towards the end because she felt that
408 is a class which she felt really bonded with ;D
Thank you Mrs Lai!! We will miss you a lot

Mr Tan Boon Hian my Physics teacher for 3 years! :O
Throughout these 3 years I've seen his
teaching skills improve tremendously
I can't remember whether it's in Sec 2 or Sec 3
he started his first lesson with the class
proclaiming his love for Physics
which made me look forward to what's being taught in Physics! :P

Mr Tan loves our class too! :DD
He had been walking past our 408 classroom after school randomly
throughout the year
sometimes he just came into the classroom without any purpose
and walked around just to walk out a few seconds later
We hypothesise that 408 is Mr Tan's source of strength
so when he felt tired he would just come into our classroom
and absorb a bit of our KI then he would feel rejuvenated!
Hahaha!! And Mr Tan is always happy to take photos with us :DD
Yesterday we offered to give him a packet of prawn crackers
but he rejected our love and said,
"cannot eat too much. later become a prawn!"
Thank you Mr Tan for brightening our lives with your lamelame jokes xD

Last but not least
we must thank our year heads Mrs Phua and Mrs Wong
both of whom I can feel love our batch a lot :):)
I think they have worked really hard for our batch
trying their best to make our lives in Nanyang interesting and fulfilling
and they succeeded! ^^
Mrs Phua and Mrs Wong, 辛苦你们了!

I'll miss 408 the siaozabor class and our 三八精神
I'm glad I'm part of this class in which
as long as we have each other
there's nothing we can't do
like doing funny poses and singing loudly during our TDC performance
We are each others' spiritual supports
always jiayou-ing each other in times of need
and never failing to
celebrate our classmates' achievements with loud cheers and applause
Most importantly
we take pride in being a 三八 and a 408-er :)

I don't think I'll ever be in such an awesome class again
408-ers are never stingy with their hugs whenever I need them
and they make me look forward to school everyday
408-ers' smiles are enough to calm me down when I feel nervous

Yesterday night when making the speech
there was a moment when I felt so nervous I felt my legs shaking
Just then Woonyee walked past
and flashed me her super wide smile while mouthing to me
"jiayou!"
I felt confident and my legs stopped shaking again :)

We are like a bigbig family
always there for each other when we need each other most

有时再累 the thought that the day would be a happy one with 408-ers
was enough to pull me out of bed
Thank you for the precious memories when
all of us played SHINee's Lucifer MV when Mr Tay walked in
cheered like mad when Mr Khoo and Mrs Lai won the TD awards
singing 朋友 loudly while holding each others' hands
thinking that the lyrics really describe what we feel
because in 408
“朋友一生一起走，那些日子不再有
一句话，一辈子
一生情，一杯酒
朋友不曾孤单过，一声朋友你会懂
还有伤，还有痛，还要走
还有我"

I will miss having class lunch with all of you
I will miss your smiles
and the countless afternoons after EOYs
when we stayed back after school
just so that we could stay with each other in our cosy classroom longer

In our first day of school as the nooby batch
we sat down as a cohort when the counsellor said
"please settle down"
It was the beginning of an epic journey in Nanyang

I didn't understand what Mrs Wong meant back then
when she said
"Once a Nanyang girl, forever a Nanyang girl"
But today as I hold on to manymany beautiful memories
I'm really proud to say that I'm a Nanyang girl
My decision to come into Nanyang is one that I'll never regret

It's sad that I had to edit this post time and time again
to ensure that everything is in past tense
But I have with me memories that last for a lifetime
I'm glad that I heed the advice of a senior a few years ago
and can now leave Nanyang without regrets
I decided to pass on this message to my unknown byebye pal
along with "thank you!" and "jiayou for everything!"
but I think she was rushing off cos she was too shy :)
So I just told her the message my senior gave me
when I was just a noobie Sec 2

"Cherish your days in Nanyang!!!"

Before I end I shall quote Shumin:

"Anything's fine as long as we are together"

2011-10-29T00:58:00.006+08:00

Amelia went for a camp
so I'm left all alone in my room
typing this blog post
with a tin of biscuits beside me HAHAHA :P!

I think this blog post is going to be quite looooong
so brace yourselves! :D

18 of us signed up to paint one room flats together
so we met up in our green class tees last Saturday
I think we looked quite intimidating and
attracted a lot of attention :P
We were like some green girl gang

But it became a class outing instead! xD
Cos there was a manpower overload
So in the end we went to Scape and played Indian Poker LOL (Y)

It was fun but awkward at the same time
because it was an open space where
many teenagers were dancing hiongly
then we were like a group of aunties playing cards noisily bleh! :P

Woon kept getting bullied D:
so she became super honest hahaha!! xDD
Luckily she was sitting beside me so
even if Weihui sabo me I also won't get tricked! :P

We saw Mr Patrick Ting there too!
It was super funny cos Haoqing saw him there before
and was wondering if we would see him
And we did (Y)
Gennie 起立行礼ed and all of us stood up and greeted him!
Like "Good afternoon Mr Ting~"
which shocked him but he's secretly honoured I think :DD

Paper checks were rather interesting and exciting ;D
It's interesting to observe the ways teachers tried to quieten us down
Some teachers threatened to not return us our papers
whereas others used the soft approach
and said things like
"girls, this will be the last time your ___(subject) teachers talk to you"
Ms Chee as usual was creative
"Young ladies~" (Y)
Mrs Van Dijk was the funniest!!
"Van Dijk won't start until all of you are quiet" xDD

Mr Ting totally sounded like he's reading out 4D numbers
and 念经ing when going through with us the answers x__x
Mr Kaw was so agitated
when going through with us certain mistakes
he seemed like he's going to vomit blood there and then :O
Ms Chia was half-amused half-agitated O.O
she has a nice voice! :)
I was paiseh-ing when reading all those grammar mistakes
made in my SRQ
so many circles! :OO

Today's math paper check was epic! xD
Some girl was sleeping I think
then Mrs Wong said something like
"I'm going to delete you from my facebook friends.
I just added her yesterday. But she's sleeping when I'm talking.
I'm going to delete her
from my facebook"
CUTE MAX (Y)

When Mr Khoo went up
408 (headed by Haoqing) was cheering for him like mad ^^
Then Mr Khoo was so cool!!!
He adjusted the mike and said in an uber cool
and charismatic and composed manner
"Thank you for your support"
-Jermia starts zi-highing in her empty room-

-while munching her cookies ^^-

After that 408 started being high
and cheered loudly for Mrs Lai also when she briefed us ;D
She's our presiding examiner for HCL Os yayyy!!

OHHH today I was trying to pass something to Mrs Lai
I was supposed to pass it to her by 12 and I was late
But she wasn't at her desk
so I began to peek through all the windows
outside the Science Department for Mrs Lai 的影子
Then when I finally saw her from outside a window
I was so happy I began cheering outside
and waved frantically trying to attract her attention
but obviously I failed terribly lah xO

After that Mr Eric Tan spotted this desperate siaozabor
jumping up and down outside
then then then
he closed the curtain leh!! Dx
Traumatised much
but Yilin and I didn't give up hope!
She helped me knock (actually it sounded more like a bang :X)
on the window but nvm
we were ignored :)

Luckily Mrs Phua helped us! YAYYY
so nice ;D
She has a calming and reassuring smile!

As a result I was late for Mr Tay's...speech? .__.
I thought he asked us to stay back
cos he wanted to give us presents
for meeting his expectation of MSG 1.5
(408 got 1.44 woohoo! :DD)
So I looked around the classroom for bigbig plastic bags
but don't have larh D:

But Mr Tay's words of advice
were actually a lot more meaningful
than him giving us presents :)
What is Mr Tay's purpose in making this speech?
I think he's trying to urge us to be more independent in JC
because like what he has said
the teachers over there may not pay as much
attention to us as Nanyang teachers do (this is the context!)

He's trying to highlight to us the fact that
it's going to be a tough jouney in JC
and that we really have to put in a lot more effort in the things we do
I think Mr Tay is jiayou-ing us in his own way too :)
It's touching how he took the time
to see us after school and tell us all these stuffs
It really does show that he cares for us from the bottom of his heart

Just did a mini-purpose answer hahaha! ;D
If it's graded I'll probably score 0 out of 5
I'm not going to take econs next year
so I guess I won't have the chance to do
POV inference reliability and utility questions anymore
but I'll really miss doing SBQs

As much as it was a pleasure teaching our class to Mr Tay
I think 408 is really happy to have him as our IH teacher too!
Awesome max :):)

Aiyo so emo I shall share with yall something quite funny! :DD
Read our testimonials today
and like what Mr Khoo has said
it's really quite exaggerated lor hahaha! xD
Xiuyi's was the most epic
somehow she turned from a Jap student to an MEP student
and even obtained 2nd position in Malay HAHAHA!! ^^

Then today we were queueing up for our favourite
鱼片米粉 in the canteen when we saw
our epic friend Mr Chong
who didn't have a spoon to eat his mixed veg de food with xDD!
So I told him he could consider using the spoon
from the noodles store (which was also out of stock :P)
Then he said, "I'm also thinking of that" (Y)!
In the end he ate his rice with chopsticks AHAHAHAHA
Reminds Shumin Xiuyi and I of the times
when all of us ate with him in Beijing ;D

Was having an interesting conversation with Kaikai just now
and we started wondering
when 408 started going gaga over Mr Khoo
According to this blog's archives
we started liking Mr Khoo in April 2010
because he postponed a math quiz
which made us very happy and Haoqing uber high xD
This was coupled with the fact that
around that time Mr Khoo was awarded
"The Most Caring Teacher Award"
Then under Haoqing's influence
all of us began to really appreciate and respect him :):)

Wow the wonders of archives! :D
It keeps memories :)
And through the difference in style of writing
I realised Jermia has really grown and matured! ^^

We were also saying
408 is going to go 拜年 at our teachers' houses
next year during Chinese New Year! ^^
(Credits to Woon for the awesome idea)
SO FUN AND EXCITINGGGGG!!
We are going to ask the whole class to join in
and hopefully the teachers will agree!
If all of us give 2 mandarin oranges each
to every teacher
then each of the teacher will receive
68 oranges each hahaha!! SPAM ORANGEEE

Eh this is not a joke kayyy ;D

I think it's going to be really fun xD
We can imagine Mr Tan giving us hongbao
with chocolate coins inside
Then Mr Tay will have soooo many oranges
that he will put them inside that blue colour bag
and push it to his students
like what he did to us during our War Memorial Trip xD

Yang Laoshi's house has manymany cacti
so we have to be careful in case we get pricked :P
We think she's the most probably will agree one :)
Then after visiting Mrs Lai all of us have to stay back
to help her clean up!

As for Mr Kaw we will visit him in the Boarding School
hahaha! All of us shall try to fit in
He most probably won't give us hongbao
so we won't mind him just treating us to new year goodies
His room surely got loads of snacks one!

I think Ms Chee's house will be super cool
with loads of soft toys and anime stuffs xD
When we visit Mr Khoo
we can seek his help in teaching us math
then we can have another Math lesson again
in his house heehee!! ^^

It's so fun I'm looking forward to it already :DD

Okay enough of my daydreaming
shall start collating jokes for our 408 joke book!!

408 is awesome x3

2011-10-20T16:13:00.008+08:00

JERMIA STRIKES BACK WITH A NEW POST
AFTER 11 DAYS OF MIA-ING
KONNICHIWA EVERYBODY! ^^

408 GOT THE 模特儿 CLASS AWARD YAYYY!! xD
It's really amusing how being the model class
made 408-ers more conscious of our image and behaviour
so as to uphold the name of our class :P

Like on that day when we were supposed
to carry our tables to the hall
our class shun bian-ed cleaned up the classroom
Then Mrs Lai and the cleanliness reps were like
Model class must do this! Model class must do that!
And very surprisingly many of our classmates
began to clean up the classroom with such
never-before-seen enthusiasm HAHAHA! XD

In the past
if the cleanliness reps asked the class to clean up
people sure kameh zao one lor :X
It's touching how 408-ers put in effort to uphold our name
and to prove to others that we're deserving of the award ;D

Got one time Mr Khoo commented on
us being the model class
MK: "I always wonder why you can get the award"
(Looked at the messiness of our sidetable)
MK:"Because you can walk like models issit!"
(Mr Khoo began to imitate a model doing catwalk)
Haoqing: "HAHAHA MR KHOO YOU LOOK LIKE A PENGUIN!!"
(Haoqing imitated Mr Khoo's Penguin-walk)
which made all of us laugh like mad
including Mr Khoo!! ;DD

Anw we figured out that Mr Khoo surely
was one of the teachers who voted for us lor!
We can sense that Mr Khoo likes our class
and he will miss us like how we will miss him D:
Mr Kaw surely one lah
He said we are deserving of the award! ^^

Talking about Mr Kaw
I must spread his fail-ness to the whole world :P
Yesterday morning Gennie and I went back to school
for our "secret mission"
then he was also in school for marking I think O.O

He told us that he didn't realise until the EOY exams that
Yongxin has a twin sister! xO
MKaw: "No wonder when I wave to this girl
I always got ignored. Now I know why"
HAHAHAHA!!! 失败 TTM~

Let's add this 失败ness to our 408 joke book! :P

Talking about 失败ness reminds me of Seow Jiexi
who got scared by me again on Monday muahahaha!! xDD
NOOBIE JIEXI~
Yala yala you succeeded sometimes
but your success rate is like 10% only
compared to Jermia Lai's 100%! xD
You still have to put in so much effort
to hide here hide there somemore!

But don't cry. Don't be sad Jiexi
Even though you're noob
I still love youuu ;D

There was this time before our Jap O-levels
Minghui Xiuyi Weihui Shumin Chiaying and I were sitting
outside the auditorium
The 6 of us were sitting in a semi-circle so there
was an empty space in front

Then a group of visitors walked past
and spotted the 6 of us
Seeing how chio we are (I think o.o)
a lady requested to take a photo with the 6 of us!
We agreed then many more people
decided to take photos with the 6 of us too LOL!! xD
We were super co-operative and posed for them somemore
We even took the effort to be glam
and curbed our inner desires to do funny faces :P

It was only when all of them were about to leave
that Minghui and Weihui asked them
which country they were from
Then when they said they were from Thailand
all 6 of us 很有默契地 clapped our hands
bow our heads and said "Sawadikap"
Then don't know who told us we salah already
cos we were supposed to say "Sawadikah" instead
Malu to the max xO

I shall not talk about the EOYs so boring
but I must comment on a funny thing I observed during the exams
Sometimes when I look at the teachers when taking a break
even though my vision was super blur
after staring at my exam papers for a long period of time
I thought I saw some teachers smiling to themselves! :OO
I hypothesise that teachers derive joy
in seeing the super hiong and chiong-ah! looks students have
when they do their exams
so 幸灾乐祸 leh!

And I think I'm going to have diabetes soon D;
I finished one whole pack of marshmallows
(thank you shumin and weihui for correcting my spelling mistake :P)
within a few days omytian xO
Especially after brain-draining papers like Math
I sent 3 marshmallows down my digestive system
at one go each time xP RAWR HOWWW

And Mrs Lai is so nice :DD
When she gave us our papers
she would wish us best of luck one :)
Then I observed that when Ms Chee gave out papers
she would bow or nod her head a bit
to every of her students hahaha!! Cute max ;D

I must write this paragraph down
so that I can remind myself 10 years later
how Weihui's taste buds are deteriorating rapidly
Weihui is currently fangirling over this Japanese RI guy
called atsu something something
whom she saw (saw only hor! like SEEEEE) during our Jap Os
I don't really like him because during Jap Oral
he disrupted my cool plan to zipai with Weihui's camera
and forced me to retreat to a secluded corner instead
As a result I had no time to set my photo
as Weihui's wallpaper! Hmph :(

Went to KBox with a group of siaozabors yesterday
and sang to our heart's content! :DD
High-ed when singing songs like
朋友恋爱ing 爱转角中国话新不了情梁山伯与朱丽叶
精武门 (which was really ironic
because it's a song about this guy who can dance really well
but it's so weird for 同手同脚 people like
Woonyee Kaixuan Weihui and me to sing the song
like so high-ly somemore xP)
And we sang Ten Little Indian Boys too!! :DD

When singing 背对背拥抱
Shumin was wondering how they could
hug with their backs facing each other
then the two of us tried 背对背拥抱ing
and it looked more like a children's game instead hahaha! xD

Returned Weihui her Facebook account on Tuesday
Before returning it to her
I decided to give her a warm welcome back to FB:

1. WEIHUIIIIIII is doing The Ugly Dance. Don't miss it!
(in courtesy of Hilary :DD)
"Watch me dance! Awesome(Y)"
2. "the first thing I want to say after EOY ended is... Hilary Lau Yee Kai Xuan and Jermia Bases Lai are the best people on Earth! ♥"
3. Changed her profile pic to a weird one
4. Weihui likes Hot Guys and COOL GUYS.
5. Weihui is now using Facebook in ქართული.

Yayyy so creative right! xDD
All of these were done in collaboration
with the two other best people on Earth :D

Just for Laughs From a Long Long Time Ago...

1.
Math after IH lesson:
MK: "Why are yall so excited?
Just because a handsome man just walked out issit!"
Haoqing: "And because a handsome man just walked in!" (Y)

MK: "Mr Tay is the kind of boyfriend you will look for right?
Good-looking......and BIGGGG"

2.
Ms Chee: "If I exercise everyday
I will become like Mr Benson Tay!"

3.
MK: "They don't write Certificate of Participation.
They write Certificate of Proficiency instead.
It means even though you didn't do as well
at least you are PROFICIENT in Math.
Which is better lah -nods-" :DDD

My sister and I fell in love with
Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up MV! ^^
We always do his Rock n Roll dance
So coolio~ (Y)

Get well soon Mr Lee!!

2011-10-09T22:12:00.001+08:00

Had my Jap oral on Friday! :)
It was a lot better than my prelim oral xO
That time during Prelim oral
the teacher asked me what I do in Maplestory Adventures
then I wanted to say I kill monsters (youka)
but I said "yoka" instead which made the sensei
look very confused

Then I don't know how to say kill mah
So I was like "kawaii yoka wo ....... -stucked-"
Then I began giving the sensei that fierce glare
with loads of hand gestures suggesting
that I was killing something
hoping that the sensei could prompt me
but she just continued staring at me
then I gave up after nearly 20 seconds
of crazy gesturing Dx

My O level Jap Oral teachers both taught me before :D
One of them was Fujimoto sensei
who taught me for a few lessons in Sec 1
in Ghim Moh before I transferred to Bishan
Then the second one was Elaine Ang sensei
who taught me in Sec 2 and
the sensei whom I dreamt gave me a
negative score for my Jap Prelim Listening :P
Heehee they were very nice and smiley :):)

Was revising with WeiMingHui
the pronunciation of some kanjis
and so luckily and fortunately some of them came out!
幸せです！^^
The questions asked were rather unexpected like
where and how often do I go to do shopping
how many times have I gone to Sentosa
and whether I know how to make Sushi O__O

I thought it was quite okay! :DD
Just that after I came out of the room
I realised my grammar was quite bleh xP
例えば：私は日本語を勉強しますです。-.-ll

Was so nervous during the oral that
once I came out of the room I felt the adrenaline rush
then I began running down the staircase
all the way from the 4th floor to the 1st floor
then ran while hopping and jumping through the corridor
all the way to the canteen
YAYYY!!! 終わりました! xD

Yeong Sensei! 私は悪い学生ではありません!! ^^

Saw Yeong Sensei in the MOELC canteen after that
Woah he broke my heart
he dao-ed my two outbursts of 热情 de waves leh D:
先生、お久しぶりです！

Went to buy KOI with Hilary Weihui and Callie after Oral
Apparently HCJC's J1 students just finished their promos
then a group of people was asking me to help them take photos
I think they regretted asking me lor AHAHAHAHA!! :X
The camera so chim
I took a long time to figure out how to take a photo :(
By that time their smiles were like jiang diao already
Then the owner of the propro camera
looked so worried that I would destroy his camera xO

I shall be boring and end this post
with a comment about our EOYs ;D

Nanyang teachers are awesome max ^^
对面的 setters are baaad :(

2011-10-05T12:18:00.010+08:00

Mr Kaw gave us a chocolate each today! ^^

Woah he 豁然开朗 and became so nice suddenly
I wonder if he's Mr Kaw AHAHAHAHA xD
He said we are allowed to eat it
in times of "emergency"
Decided to resist my temptation to eat it now
since I'll most likely need it tomorrow :)

I wanted to put Mr Kaw's chocolate
and Ms Chee's marshmellow together so that I'll have the "KI" to study
But after I happily went home
I realised my marshmellow was no longer on my table!
T______________T

Then I asked popo where my marshmellow was
I thought to myself then
if my siblings ate it I will SQUASH them
then BEHEAD them then CHOP them into pieces
but....

Popo: HUH 是你的啊！我吃了leh!

Jermia:

POPO HOW COULD YOU EAT MY MS CHEE MARSHMELLOWWW T_______T

...what can I do...
Other than giving my popo that I'm so sad look
and popo giving me that she's so guilty look D;
The marshmellow is already chewed into smaller pieces
to increase its surface area to volume ratio for chemical digestion
and converted into maltose from starch
by the salivary amylase then it travelled down
the oesophagus by peristalsis into the stomach where it was churned
then it went into the small intestine where
more of it was digested into maltose by pancreatic amylase
and the maltose was digested into glucose + glucose by maltase

Now it's happily living as glycogen
in the liver and muscle cells of my popo T.T

It's okay T.T
I'm going to buy a packet of marshmellows
THAT EXACT SAME EGO BRAND
and try to convince myself that it's Miss Chee Marshmellow
;(

It's the thoughts that count right
Miss Chee's thoughts
and my thoughts
Dx

2011-09-23T17:58:00.008+08:00

I have a looooot of things to say! :D

Was buying KOI with XiuShuWei
(this sounds pretty nice as a name! :D) just now
then we saw Elton! I don't know why
the three of them kept giggling at us
especially that Shumin who was looking uber amused!

When we went home Elton told Mama
"Mummy 我带一个女孩子回家"
Then I 配合ed by pinching my nose and saying
"Hello auntie!" which made my mother
super flustered and worried cos she was exclaiming
"HUH!!!" from the living room
then she seemed to have chionged to the door
with enlarged eyes just to see her daughter and her son
laughing at her AHAHAHAHA!!! xDD

Mr Kaw must have been in a good mood recently
Today he let us off 5 minutes earlier
so that we can chope seats for IH lecture! :DD
Apparently other classes' teachers did so too
When I reached the LT
it was already almost filled with people xO
But the 5 minutes helped cos at least we got seats :)
Many people had to sit on the floor (on the steps somemore)
and one person was standing beside the door O.O
You can imagine how full the LT was :P!

Talking about the IH lecture
Mrs Van Dijk was super cute! (Y)
Mrs Van Dijk: "I know studying makes some of you feel you're
In Hell (IH). But after taking the IH paper
you will be in another IH - IN HEAVEN!" xD
And she was saying the South African economy
is growing rapidly because of the President
because Zuma = ZOOM-AH! HAHAHAHA!!!
Laughed like maaad

Kay continue the story of Kawrrect being kind
He gave us notes yesterday like
sample answers for SRQ
Then he said he doesn't do this to us often
so that we will appreciate it more when he gives us notes :P
Quite true la but it's not necessarily true in all situations
(I LEARNT THIS FROM LA LESSONS -FEELS SMART-)

Especially in the case of our Most Dedicated Teacher in our hearts
Mr Tay who is unquestionably the teacher
who gives us the most amount of notes
Even though he visits our class almost everyday
to pass Chiaying our IH rep notes
and makes my already-going-to-burst file even... burstier (??)
we appreciate his hardwork and efforts a lot a lot
-BOWS-

Talking about bowing
Yesterday when walking towards my seat for assembly
I saw two 403 girls in front of me
who saw Mr Khoo and gave a more than 90 degrees bow to him
Then Mr Khoo said to them
"Yall Japanese issit!"
which totally amused me much
but I very nicely tried to control my laughter :):)

A few days ago our cleanliness rep Sinlie
tried to implement an
"if you never do duty your name shall be written on the board"
policy to make people do their duties
which failed terribly xD!!
Partly because our angel Wenli wrote
"Never Do Duty" as the heading
which got suanned by Mr Khoo

MK: "Never do duty? You mean they should not do duty?
Like... NEVER do duty! Or do you mean
they did not do duty? Then you should put Did Not Do Duty instead"
which made the class laugh like siao
Then Mr Khoo continued by saying
"No wonder they say NEVER SAY NEVER!" LOLOL!!!
I wonder if Mr Khoo listens to Justin Bieber xD

Wenli the angel is souper duper cute!! ^^
Haoqing was acting cute during LA lesson today
with Shumin's stuffed toy white tiger which totally cracked us up
I just laughed til my tears came out typing the previous 2 sentences
Reminds me of our Beijing trip when Haoqing told Mr Chong
"Do you want to see Baby Panda?"
Mr Chong nodded and Haoqing started to act cute and say
"Baby Panda!" which stunned him until he froze for a moment
When he recovered he said "I don't know how I should react" (Y)!

Continue my story
Wenli saw Haoqing who was acting cute with the toy tiger
then she said very innocently
"So scary!"
Laughed til I became giddy
-anaerobic respiration- :)

And today during Bio lesson Ms Chee was asking people
to answer questions on a first-come-first-serve basis
Wenli was super kanchiong
Her hands shot up and she shouted "ME!!!"
which made the whole class laugh ;D

Ms Chee has interesting ways to make lessons fun!
Like today when she called us up row by row
to the board to chope questions to answer
It was quite amusing to see 408-ers displaying our
"sanbajingshen" by running despo-ly to the board
One of the very rare times when we see our classmates
being so enthu to answer questions ^^
Xiuyi and I even had the chance to 发挥 our team spirit
by answering half of a question each heehee!

This makes us revise and exercise at the same time :D

Yesterday Mrs Phua briefed us on a Byebye Pal thingo
where we're supposed to invite a Sec1-3 junior
to give us our grad gifts and say byebye to us
on the last day of school
When she showed us the invitation card thingy
Ms Chee's eyes were like O.O and her mouth opened like :O!
Hahahaha!! Mr Chong was laughing and clapping like mad
Mr Khoo was calm and composed :)

Then a group of PSLs were persuading us
to go for the grad night
Ms Teo told us "Ms Sab goes there every year to play!" xD
Some of us felt guilty after listening to Mr Kaw's speech
(Mr Kaw has a Naruto chop!! :OO)
Then Weihui and I were saying if Ms Chee goes we will go!
Vanessa Lim and Gahyarn helped us to ask Ms Chee
who said she's 考えている D:
After that both of them pointed to us
then Weihui and I pointed to Kaixuan
who was sitting in front and sabo-ed unknowingly HAHAHA!
:X

Got one time Kaixuan went to the toilet
then Sinlie suggested all of us
(Sinlie Callie Hilary Jermia) to lock the door
switch off the lights and fans
and hide under the sidetable so that
Kaixuan will think we all go home liao
and locked the classroom LOL!!!
SUPER DUPER LAME SERIOUSLY

But all of us agreed .___.ll

The 4 of us began to hide under the sidetable giggling
In the end when our trick failed
and when we got up
our skirts was siewpur dirty! xO
Like even though we squatted we didn't even sit okay!
Our skirts had lumps of dust sticking on it
Shows how clean our classroom is :)

Really leh our class satisfies all the conditions
for model class
except for cleanliness -.-ll

Talking about toilet
Yesterday I was in the toilet
then suddenly I felt water droplets dripping
from above!
I thought the 天花板漏水 and started to get quite worried
In the end it's Xiuyi! Who sprinkled water from outside!
ROAR -STRANGLES- xO!

Yayyy we won the iPad from the BusinessChina photo-contest! ^^
Our photo had 69 likes!
Compared to the second which had 20+ likes I think :P
Now we're trying to sell it and donate the money to charity
We haven't decided on which organisation to donate the money to =/

So when we watched the IH Topical Presentation on
Malaria in Uganda and Kenya
We are thinking maybe we can donate the money
to help Africans buy bed nets! :DD
Then Woonyee suggested making the bed nets ourselves
so we can save costs HAHAHA!!! xD
WOON I CAN MAKE WITH YOUUU ^^

Epic conversation
YLS's son: Mummy 快点！全世界都在等你一个人！
YLS: 整个世界也太夸张了吧。

It's amazing how God, in his own ways, can comfort me when I'm feeling down. He decided to give me words of comfort via Facebook! They really made me feel better :)

On this day, God wants you to know
...that it's time you cleansed yourself with laughter and with tears. Let tears take out all the agony that is hidden inside you, and let laughter ignite your contagious joy. --via God Wants You to Know

When we fall.......HE PICKS US UP.
When we are low.......HE ELEVATES US.
When we cry.......HE GATHERS OUR TEARS.
When we are broken.......HE PUTS US BACK TOGETHER. Our Savior. ♥ --via Jesus Daily

And it's amazing how, although we aren't feeling good, we still have the ability to brighten up someone else's day. And by doing so, we feel better ourselves too :)

Due to unforeseen and rather unfortunate circumstances, our group became the first to do the Socratic Seminar during LA lesson today. Was feeling so frustrated that I began spouting bad words like s*** and s***** while searching through my bag for my notes :X I MUST CLARIFY THAT I didn't spout those words to scold anyone. I was being irritated at the situation itself.

Was uber shocked after I realised what I spouted were vulgarities and that I was polluting Sinlie's ears xO But Sinlie being a nice person, said she understands and won't tell anybody that I said those words. HAHAHA aww Sinlie :):) Was quite upset after LA lesson today, not because our group became the first to go up, but because I was disappointed with myself. Other than listening and agreeing to the points raised up by the others (Jiaxing's point was uber wow!!! (Y)), my mind was practically blank diao x__x Managed to crap out something though. So 不是因为我不要讲话，是因为我没有话讲。xP

Felt quite troubled for a period of time over my screwed up Socratic Seminar, but biting ice-cream and sleeping and being able to do math questions and mugging a few chapters of Physics and reading encouraging messages on FB made me feel better le la. Especially after reading Hilary's blog post, I began to feel rather proud of myself! :DD Even though I may have screwed it, at least I had the courage to stand up, bring my chair to the front and JUST DO IT. I'm proud of my group members too! We are all brave souls. Thank you Hilaryyyyy ;D

I understand the reason why they could not go. I do not blame them cos it's really quite unfair to them also. But I must admit that for a moment, or rather, ermmm for like 5 minutes? :X I was quite irritated at the cher, like... why must you do it today! Postpone to tomorrow cannot meh! However, come to think of it, he makes sense la. We should have been long prepared already, during the holidays. So he wasn't being unreasonable. Moreover, he gave us 10 minutes to prepare, so I really do not have any reason to feel unjust or whatnot.

This teaches me that... life will not always be like what or how you want it to be. It will not be smooth-sailing, and many such events will randomly pop out in our lives. Therefore, we should always be mentally prepared to tackle such problems, take it to our strides and face these challenges bravely and confidently, and not be cowards! STAND UP STAND UP :)

就算有再可怕的大风大浪,我也要不要脸地继续笑着.

I have always believed in the saying "一分耕耘，一分收获"; That is, the results we achieve depend on the amount of hard work we put in. At least that's the case for me. I'm not smart. In quizzes and tests, there are people who can still pass, sometimes with flying colours, even if they did not revise and study for it. However, or rather, unfortunately, as you may say, I'm not one of them; Failed quizzes and exams which were done badly had proven to me that, if I do not put in enough hard work, it is nearly impossible for me to do well. There are times when people ask me questions, and being the not-very-brainy me, I can't seem to be able to provide with them answers that are 'logical and rational'; But they are to me. Even if I answered them seriously, people tend to see them as jokes and start laughing like maaad. If I'm lucky enough, people may see my answers as being creative. I understand that this is not necessarily a bad thing; I'm trying to accept this characteristic of mine as a blessing, a gift from God. Special ma, special~ Can bring joy to people somemore :)

There were times when I lamented the fact that I'm not as intelligent as those many people around me, that I have to work harder to achieve something that another person can achieve easily. But I've come to accept this as a good thing. Compared to attaining something without putting in effort, achieving it after working hard gives me a sense of satisfaction. It makes me feel that my hard work has paid off and is worth it! Similarly, when I do badly for something, I will have to tell myself that I had not worked hard enough. But because we reap what we sow, I would have to learn from this mistake and work harder next time so that I can do better. Even if I am not smart, I can still rely on hard work! So there is still hope :D

Because there is still hope, I do not believe in being depressed over failures over a long period of time. It will become my motivation, to strive hard, FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE!!!!! If I still do not do well even if I put in hard work, it just means that the amount of effort put in was not enough. Need to add in more oil :) 就算做得不好，也千万不要气馁，更不要放弃。因为只要一放弃，在开跑的时候就已经输掉比赛了，连成功的机会，希望也没有。Even if I do not do well in the end, having put in effort will leave me with no regrets as I know that I had done my best, and that I did not let the people who care for me and erm... have certain expectations from me down. 无怨无悔!

Therefore, Jermia-san and friends, jiayou for the coming EOYs, O-levels and the many many challenges ahead in life! Do not be too upset over depressing results, and do not give up trying to succeed. While working veryvery hard, please take care of yourself, like what Mr Tay said (rather anti-climaxly) during IH today right after we sang him a birthday song, please do not give yourselves so much stress that you burn out! 要有蟑螂般打不死的精神，但是有杀虫剂的话，千万不要盲目地冲！先照顾好自己的安危才是最重要的。;D

Okay I realised that's a super bad analogy, but who cares AHAHAHAHA!!! xDD

Was nearly late for school (again -.-)
cos of a traffic jam which lasted for about 15 minutes?
I wasn't late in the end
because I prayed :):)
Miraculously like 5 minutes after I prayed
the traffic turned from a jam to a super smooth one! xD
Was super amazed at the powers of God
Hallelujah! :D

Smiled uncontrollably once I stepped into Nanyang
I missed school so muchhh D;
Weihui Minghui Sinlie Puilin and I were stalking
this Caucasian family living opposite our block
We were like stalkers!
We even managed to find out how many kids
there are in the family and that they have a dog
2 scooters a maid and a twin which quarrelled xP
We just kept standing near the window looking at them
until the kids went up a school bus -.-ll

Ms Chee said someone drew a prawn
which looked like Elvis Presley
AHAHAHAHAHA (Y)!!
And yayyy she didn't penalise me too much
to the disbelief of many people
for my weird mutated-looking prawn
which looks more like a chameleon xD

Mrs Lai voted Mr Khoo for most inspiring too! :DD
She shared with us Mr Khoo's touching story about
his passion for teaching and the sacrifices he made
for his students by becoming a full-time teacher
when he could have done something more... Money-fied?

Wang Laoshi shared with us stories of
Michelle Kwan an ice-skater during CME today
Teaches us that it's okay to make mistakes sometimes
but we have to pick ourselves up
and that passion is important :D

The most epic thing was
when I was walking towards the audi for CCT
We saw Ms Lydia Teo who saw us too
Then she flashed us a super duper
bright and wide smile!! :DDD
She's uber nice and friendly
but I do not know why her smile seemed so
hilariously amusing to me at that moment
that I just burst out laughing in front of her xD
Diaooo laughed til my saliva came out somemore :P

I was laughing so hard that I didn't notice erm...
Baobao and Kaixuan told me later on that
she was pointing at me saying "I KNOW YOU!!" or something
I hope she isn't feeling ummm...
disturbed that Gennie and I
pestered and irritated her like irritating pests for our dunking event x__x

Got back Jap Paper today!
Our class scored highest in the whole level according to sensei! yayyy!
It was とても悪い but it was a lot better than I had dreamt -.-ll
Erm clarifications the dreamt here doesn't mean
"expected" but it's just literally "dreamt"

I dreamt that I got 37/100 for Prelims
cos I didn't do a few pages worth of questions
Elaine Ang sensei was the marker and I scored 0 for Listening
Then she's so angry that she decided to give me
a negative score for Listening Dx

After that she told me
"Jermia-san, you need to come to my house
later in the evening for your Listening retest"
I asked her where her house is
Then she replied "I live in Jurong"
which totally shocked me so much in my dream
I think I woke up after screaming "WHATTTTT!!!!" =.=

The next Jap lesson will be the last we'll have D;
We will miss Yeong Sensei a lot :(:(
Although I am a 悪い学生
Yeong Sensei is a super duper いい先生

JIAYOUUUUUU!!!!!! ^^

Currently going crazy
trying to understand Mutual Induction xP!
Hopefully I'll go crazy enough
to proceed to the stage whereby
I'll find joy in studying
as mentioned by Weihui! hahaha :DD

Actually I do find joy in mugging sometimes
especially when I finally understand something
after thinking and wondering and pondering about it
for a looooong period of time :)
It gives you a sense of satisfaction~

I shall answer two questions
yall asked me via Formspring!

Both questions are uber weird btw blehhh! :P

Q: Why am I asking you a question? Would you rather be cool or cute!

A: I don't have to answer the first part of the question right hahaha! :X Depending on the situation I will act differently. Like when I'm in the bus I tend to act cool because everyone does that. Like... stone face~ :I Then I'll start being emooo cos got nobody talk to me marh :(:( So I guess I'm cool most of the time in buses. Talking about being cool in buses. Got one time I was happily sleeping on the bus then the bus suddenly jerked to a stop then I realised I was sleeping with my mouth bigbig. Embarrassing enough already lor then somemore the army person beside me was trying to control his laughter diaooo paiseh ttm x__x Err... As for cute ah. I'm always cute la ahahahaha!!!!!!! -pukes- I think I'm happier being cute cos it makes me feel young at heart ^^ So in conclusion... I'd rather be cute I guess :)

Q: DO YOU LOVE FOUR OH EIGHT MORE OR THREE OH EIGHT MORE?

A: I love 408 more! :) I love 308 too, but the love for the people in it (they are still the same right? :D) continues to build up in 408 so I love 408 more :D And cos after nearly 2 years of being together, we understand each other better and have learnt how to get along with different people in our class. We became more enthu this year too! :DD Even though we are not 308 anymore but 三八精神 is something unique to 308'10/408'11 only right!! :)

My daddy is my hero. He always saves the day by helping us catch cockroaches :DD! Which my bro dare not catch too -.-ll YAYYY DADDY!!!

2011-09-04T18:53:00.005+08:00

Happy Belated Teachers' Day!

To all teachers
Thank you for making the effort to make
lessons as interesting as possible
And for spending sleepless nights
to mark our assignments D:
And thank you very much for teaching us values in life
and equip us with skills to survive in the future~
Thank you teachers yall are great! (Y)

Was uber touched when Kawrrect said
"Hmm... where shall I hang this up?" when
we gave him our board full of messages :):)
Yayyy at least he bothered to hang it up
and not throw it away! :D

Woah Mr Tay was epic (Y)
We thought he would be able to identify the countries
despite our super bad cutting skills
but aiyooo! He thought my United Kingdom
was the African States! xO
Mr Tay needs to brush up on his errr... map-reading skills (?)
by playing GeoChallenge more :P

Really happy this year
because two of 408's teachers won the Teachers' Day Awards! :DD
Mr Khoo won the Most Inspiring Teacher award and
Mrs Lai the Most Caring Teacher award woohoo!! ^^
408 was screaming and cheering at the 3rd floor like maaad xD
Super 给面子 right! Hahaha we love our teachers a lot :):)
During GRACES we showed the level that 408 loves Mr Khoo
now we proved the same thing to the whole school HAHAHA :P

Congratulations teachers! :D
I mean yes the award is a form of recognition
but Nanyang has manymany other rocking teachers
who are great in their own ways too!

Seow Jiexi tried to scare me again
but failed terribly (again!) nehnehnehpoopoo~ :P
Aiyo Jiexi why you so fail
not like me can always scare you successfully
And yes I know I sang very beautifully xP!

Good job 408! :D:D
I feel so proud to be a part of this rockingly awesome class ^^
Mrs Ee said it was an outstanding performance!
-honoured- xD
And according to reliable sources which includes weihui (o.o)
some of the teachers were singing along to our song
the PSG was waving their board like mad
and Mdm Heng gave Weihui a thumbs-up leh wowww! :DD
After that Mrs Lai had so many praises for us that she didn't want to
let Haoqing off cos she hadn't finished saying the good points
hahaha!! okay shall stop ego-ing about 408 :P

Talking about PSG
I was super amazed by their performance :):)
They danced to SNSD's Gee! :O
And I like the fathers' long and short white pants (Y)

Like past years
the teachers' performance was the ultimate high
A lot of our teachers have a hidden talent for dancing
Woah dance so wowishly leh O.O!
But we missed quite a bit of it
cos we were at the backstage haish :(:(
Hope a kind soul will upload the video on Facebook soon!

The concert was really good (Y)
But I agree with Kaixuan
the garbage bags blocked our view from upstairs haiz... D:

412's performance was after 408's
and we were supposed to clap/sing/wave along ma I thought
so when people were watching 412's
very amusing and entertaining video
I was waving like a toot to myself Dx
Hahaha! That video was really very (Y)!
Totally laughed at the "Hot Hot Hot"
with Mr Chong's sebeibei look hahaha!! xD
No wonder people were laughing so madly ;D

I think Mr Khoo was really happy that day!
The teachers were going up the stage
to receive their presents and cakes
Then Mr Khoo gave sibas that electrifying smile
which totally melted us xO!
Mr Khoo 希望您每天都能这样开心~ :)

In the meanwhile Xiuyi was going crazy
over how Ms Chee blows her bubbles hahaha! :DD

Went back for 6Agape's gathering
after my Jap Prelims
我们都长大了！We have all grown taller
and some of us look different now :)
But of course some things will still remain the same
like how Matthew is still as chatterbox as ever
like how we still love 6Agape :D

I think being a Sec4 has allowed us to begin
appreciating our teachers more
for all that they have done for us :)

2011-08-29T00:49:00.000+08:00

Stayed up til 5am to follow the PE results
Even though my eyelids were closing
listening to Yam Ah Mee announcing the results live
was a motivation that kept me awake! :D
Another motivation was the wish that
Dr Tan Cheng Bock would win at the end of the day

That wish didn't come true :(

I don't mind Dr Tony Tan actually
he's really well-suited for the job of President
cos of his diplomatic experiences and knowledge of the economy etc
(actually I don't mind everyone except TJS -.-)

But I prefer Dr Tan Cheng Bock
cos I think he is more people-orientated
has his own guiding principles and a mind of his own
He's a candidate whom I trust will really care about
and fight for the interests and good of Singaporeans
One who will speak up when things are wrong
One who will put Singaporeans first and will not be easily...
silenced and controlled? :X
He's like our 慈祥 de ah gong... a unifying figure!!
Uber touched when browsing through the photos of him
giving hugs to his supporters :)

I was and still am feeling sad
reading posts on Dr TCB's fan page
be it congratulatory messages or words of condolences
So proud of him he really put on a good fight :)

So we'll be seeing Dr Tony Tan's photo in our school hall soon!
Here's wishing him all the best
and may he perform the duties of the President well
Please be a good president!! :DD

Had a super epic journey to the Yuhua Dialogue today
The Yuhua Dialogue was organised by Ms Grace Fu to address
the concerns residents have on the PM's National Day Rally btw
Anw!! It took me 5 to 6 bus rides and a taxi ride to get there! xO
I'm supposed to transfer at a bus stop
but I wasn't familiar with the place so when I missed the bus stop
I thought it would be okay cos I could just get off at the next stop
and take any bus to go back to that bus stop

But apparently that wasn't the case lor!
I randomly took a bus at the opposite side
and that bus took me to an orlulu bus stop in an orlulu place
which doesn't have my bus D:
So I crossed the road again and took a random bus (again)
which took me to another orlulu place! T.T

But being a determined girl! -nods-
I decided to cross the road to return to the first orlulu place
then took the bus which hai-ed me back to the
overshot bus stop then took a bus back to the transfer place :D
It's like... finally~

But no! That wasn't the end!
Cos I had to transfer to an express bus
the frequency of the bus is like... can go siao one -.-
The first time I checked the service told me
the bus would take 20 min to reach the bus stop
But after 20 min I checked the service again
and it told me the bus would only come 17min later
Checking the service totally wasted my 20 cents T.T

I gave up......
and flagged for a taxi instead

The best is yet to be.

I mean the best part is the taxi part.

Jermia: Uncle 可以带我去 Yuhua CC 吗谢谢！
Taxi Uncle: Where is Yuhua CC?
Jermia: ...... I think it's in Boon Lay...
Taxi Uncle: Then it's okay Boon Lay is not very big I can help you find
Jermia: Thank you uncle!
Taxi Uncle: Do you have a street directory with you?
Jermia: Err no :X
Taxi Uncle: Do you have Google maps in your handphone?
Jermia: hahaha! My handphone no internet :X

-Taxi Uncle shakes his head-
He must be thinking how come this girl so hopeless -.-ll

Taxi Uncle: Why are you going to Yuhua CC?
Jermia: Orh cos got dialogue
Taxi Uncle: What dialogue?
Jermia: It's by Ms Grace Fu about the National Day Rally
Taxi Uncle: Don't go lah! The government is trying to brainwash you!
Jermia: Err... hahahahaha! -smiles awkwardly-

-Taxi Uncle gives hopeless little girl his Samsung phone-

Taxi Uncle: Go Google Map and search Y-U-E-H-W-A CC!
Jermia: ahh... uncle I think should be Y-U-H-U-A :D
-Jermia keys in Yuhua CC and Google Map tells her there's no connection-
Jermia: Er uncle they say no connection
Taxi Uncle: See I told you you spell wrong already! You type wrong la! Type Y-U-E-H-W-A!
Jermia: HAHAHA nvm uncle! I sms my friend and ask for the address :D
-smses Minghui for help-

Taxi Uncle: My son graduated with a PhD in Physics!
Jermia: Wow! Congratulations! :):) what is he working as now?
Taxi Uncle: He's working for the Iran President. He is an inventor of nuclear bombs
-Jermia widens her eyes in disbelief. What!!! Iran President?!! Nuclear bombs???-
Jermia: ... woah uncle that's very cool.
Taxi Uncle: Do you believe me?
Jermia: AHAHAHAHA! no... :X
Taxi Uncle: Really really. He's earning a lot of money from the oil.
-Jermia wonders what's the link between inventing nuclear bombs for the Iran President and earning money from oil...-

The Yuhua Dialogue was insightful and enlightening
Most of the questions raised in the dialogue
were about rising housing prices and yes of course
90% of the questions were about foreign talents
1.The role of FTs and PRCs in Singapore
like some of them using our country as a stepping board
and trying as hard as they can to avoid doing NS
2. Foreign talents making employment hard for Singaporeans
3. Foreign talents in Singaporean universities etc

I finally understand why Mrs Lai loves cleaning so much!
It gives you a sense of satisfaction
Just now I was tidying up my room and cleaning it
It was then that I realised how dirty and messy
my pig sty is .___.ll
After cleaning it's like...
wow! The air is so much fresher
and my room is a lot more pleasing to the eyes :DD
I am so proud of myself ^^

Yall should go clean your rooms someday also!

Just for Laughs:

Minghui: EVERYONE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING FUNNY!!! My sis just said she finds tan kin lian cute ahahahhahahha i nearly puked

Jermia: hahaha!! whattt tan kin lian really very cute what! :D

Minghui: errr... YOU KNOW! he is gonna set up a website called voiceofthepeople.org HAHAHAAHAHAH

Brenda: lol then tan jee say should set up checksandbalances.org ._.

Omg Brenda is siewpur funny! xD

2011-08-27T15:00:00.005+08:00

One fine morning I was walking to school
together with Elton Lai
when we saw an uber cute cat! :DD
So I was like "hello meowie! meowmeow!" to the cat
then the cat meowed back to me leh! ^^
Then the best part was
the cat began to stalk us O.O!

As in the cat began to follow us at the back la :):)
It would walk for a few steps
then roll on the ground for a while
which made both of us very "awww!" hahaha! ^^
Initially we thought the cat was following Elton
It was only when the two of us
walked on our separate ways
that we realised the cat was actually my stalker ;D
-honoured-

While feeling very happy and excited
I began to worry if the cat would follow me
all the way up on the bus O.O
Then I'll bring it to Nanyang
so that it can live together and befriend the NY cats haha! xD
But it stopped following me after a while la
just before I started crossing a road :)

I miss the cat D;
See you again meowie!

ヨン先生は私が一番好きな日本語の先生です！(Y)
Hahaha! During Jap on monday
he asked us what we did in the weekends
Some people answered 楽しいパーティーに行った I think :D
then sensei said something like
"Prelimという楽しいパーティーですね"
HAHAHA!!! FUNNY MAX xD!

When lesson ended sensei gave us a KitKat each! ^^
He asked us if we knew the reason why he gave us that
then we said "Take a break!!" xDD
which obviously is not the reason larh :O

原来 KitKat sounds like ”きっと勝つ" (kitto-katsu) in Jap
which means that we will definitely achieve success! :):)
So the KitKats are Sensei's well-wishes
and good luck presents for us!
先生の心から私達にずっと頑張るという意味があるプレゼントです
Touched ttm ;DD

Which reminds me of a short conversation
I had with Mr Khoo after school last Wednesday
which really... touched me a lot too ;)

I was walking pass the canteen on the way to the bus stop
Initially I just wanted to bow and greet Mr Khoo then ka meh zao
cos I was still feeling very bad about the math paper
so when I realised that Mr Khoo was walking towards me
I was like... "x___x ohmytian nooooo~!!!!!"

Mr Khoo started by asking me
"you know what I'm going to ask you right"
so I began to explain that I didn't spend enough time on math
then he asked me
"why? busy talking to your boyfriend issit"
which shocked me a lot even though I knew he was just joking
so I 连忙 explained to him that
I spent my time studying bio instead cos
bio was on the same day as math...

I really thought he was going to scold me
Especially now that I got back my math paper already
and looking at those irritating mistakes I made
I not only 该骂 also 该打 lor to the max D: D: D: D: D:

But no... Mr Khoo didn't scold me D;

Instead he told me with a super kind smile
"I will accept it as long as you know what you are doing"
Which shocked me a lot again
It was a shock different from the first one
cos it's not the eye bigbig mouth bigbig kind of shock
but the brain shock heart shock kind of shock

I am extremely grateful to Mr Khoo for his understanding
and his care and most importantly his trust
they mean a lot to me
Even though I really don't know whether I deserve these or not
what I can promise is that I will work really hard

After that he kind of jiayou-ed me I think
It was the first time after a longlong time
that I experienced a mixture of emotions
guilt gratitude sadness happiness apology motivation etcetc
altogether at one time

Mr Khoo is super inspiring! (Y)
It's like even though he's strict we know it's for our own good
he's really a teacher truly deserving of our respect :):)
Okay shall stop fangirling already :X

Broke two test tubes during bio prac! :OO
1 dollar goneeeee byebye 1 dollar~
I thought I could create a
"no breaking of test tube in 4 years of my NY life" record leh D:

I didn't bring my wallet to the lab
so I borrowed one dollar from Vanessa Lim
who used this opportunity to dump all of her 5cent coins (Y)
LOL!!! Ms Chee was like O.O!

Created a fanpage for Ms Chee under Xiuyi's request yesterday! :DD
Both of us thought of a super cool name for our fanclub
"MissChee-vous"!! WOOHOO so creative right! (Y)
We shared this idea with a few others
and all of us were laughing next to the staff board
so much so that teachers that walked past us
thought that we were laughing at the teachers hahaha!!! xDD

Actually we always do :P

Kena laughed at by the class and Ms Chee and Ms Foo
for my lack of ability to spot camouflaging animals xO!
Especially Ms Chee who was laughing happily
like that time when she laughed about pre-ejaculation hahaha! xD
Ms Chee: "If we were to dump Jermia in the wild
she probably will not be able to survive"
x___x ya I also think so haiz

I was feeling sad that
I lack the "find food" and "notice the presence of predators" gene D:
so I decided to spam jokes in the 408 joke book instead
Then Ms Chee said something like
"Are you okay Jermia? Don't be too stressed up.
No I mustn't laugh. This is not funn--- hahahahahahaha! xD"
哭笑不得 to the max :P!

Jiayou 408 for TDC next week!
We shall touch the hearts of many
by singing loudly and beautifully!

Just for laughs:

No.1

Mr Khoo was wondering
how come parents are willing to spend so much on a phone
which is more like a game machine (aka iPhone)
and why we like to play Angry Birds so much
"It's just finding the right angle and shoot the bird!" (Y)
He said he wanted to buy an iPhone but has no money
but according to Woonyee Mr Khoo drives an expensive car leh! :O

Then he ended off by saying
"You shouldn't play Angry Birds too much.
Or else you will have ANGRY PARENTS" (Y)
hahaha!! people should consider replacing
the birds with parents instead
:X

No.2

Okay actually this isn't very funny
but 408 is going to create a 408 joke book! :DD
This is a compilation of cold and hilarious jokes
by 408-ers and we're going to present a copy
to each of our teachers as a Teachers' Day gift from 408!
We guarantee our teachers a
freezingly cool time reading our joke book
it's better than eating ice-cream in the North Pole! (Y)

Byebye Hwang Se Min! Take care and good luck in Dubai! :D
6Agape's gatherings will never be complete without you D;

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BRO I LOVE YOU! x3

2011-08-15T16:55:00.004+08:00

Someone asked me a question on Formspring! :D

Question: Do you lick your icecream or bite it?

Hahaha what an interesting question~! :DD It really depends on 5 factors.

1. My mood

This can be further broken down into two scenarios:

(a) When Jermia Lai is feeling happy
(b) When Jermia Lai is feeling sad D:

(a) When I feel happy, I will tend to lick my icecream because licking my icecream will make me feel even happier :D Maybe it's because the icecream lasts longer, then I think it's very worth the money AHAHAHAHA!

(b) Feeling sad can mean two things - I am depressed OR I am angryyy~ In both cases, I will tend to bite my icecream. It is a platform for me to vent my frustrations lo O.O When I feel angry or sad, I will feel the urge to bite something... or someone :X

2. The meltability of the icecream in question

If the ice-cream is easily meltable then of course must bite larh!

3. The coldness of the icecream

This is an important factor. The coldness of the icecream will largely determine it's fate aka how I'm going to eat it. If it's okayokay (eg. Magnum, and those icecreams with cones) then I will most likely bite it. But if it's freeeeezinggg cold and hard like Potong icecream then I will prefer to lick it! I mean... don't tell me you bite freezing cold and hard Potong icecream O.O will kena brainfreeze oneee xP

4. Who I am eating the icecream with

If the person licks the icecream then I will lick with her; If the person bites the icecream then I will bite with her :D

5. The deliciousness of the icecream

If I like the icecream uber much or if it's super yumyum then I will prefer to lick it. Makes the icecream last longer heehee! ;D

Yupyup I think that's all! ^^ Why? You want to treat me to icecream issit! xDD

P/S: I thought it's spelt as ice cream/ice-cream? heehee oh well since you wrote 'icecream' in your question I decided that I will just follow suit :D

2011-08-13T20:15:00.003+08:00

(psps the first and third videos are fixed already! :P)

Did class CIP on Thursday! :DD
Initially I was super worried
because although my Hainanese is like super pro
compared to my generation of Hainaneses
my Hokkien, Cantonese and Teochew etc are CMI ttm! x__x

So I was worried that I couldn't communicate with the
ah mas and ah gongs
cos my dialect is... haiz D:

One of the popos Kaixuan and I partnered
is 88 years old this year! ^^
She's a perfectionist
Throughout the activity she kept telling me that she 画不美
and wanted me to help her draw her shirt
Initially I was hesitating if I should help her draw or not
you know my 招牌 flowers clouds sunshine butterflies
and everything nice! :DD
Until the person-in-charge came and stopped me

I like the person-in-charge's EQ (Y)

She encouraged the popo
by telling her not to be afraid and "just draw it!" :)
And teased her for being humble and showed us
a super pretty flower that popo drew not long ago
In the end the popo really became more confident
and pleased with herself
she finally agreed to draw on her own! ^^

HER FLOWERS ARE SO MUCH PRETTIER THAN MINE CAN ;D

So that's a learning point
Instead of offering help to people (unless they really need it)
we should always encourage them to take that first step
by telling them that they can do it! :D

Like that popo I mentioned just now
whenever other volunteers walked past and praised her flowers
for being "JIN SUI! (Y)"
she smiled super happily and looked very delighted :)
If I were to help her earlier
she wouldn't have gained that feeling of satisfaction
The really cool thing is the popo is called 陈惜花
cherish the flowers! ^^

Before we left
the person-in-charge gave us 2 paper cranes each
handmade by the popo ^^
I shall keep it properly because
it represents the popo's well-wishes for us! :):)

Finally kena "scolded" by Mr Khoo on Thursday
Phew...
I feel so much better after being "scolded"
At least he still bothered to scold me!
To me this means that 他对我还没有绝望
so I am now motivated to put in more effort for math
I must really admit that I was complacent
and spent my time on other subjects instead D:

Actually he didn't really scold us
but rather it was an expression of his disappointment
We really could have done a lot better
I don't know whether it's coincidental or on purpose
he scolded Kaixuan, Weihui, Jermia and Baobao only
a.k.a our Shanghai-Beijing gang O.O
Kaixuan and Jermia are expected la 该骂！
Weihui probably didn't meet his expectations for her
As for Baobao
we figured out that she's being dragged down
被拖下水 one :P

Watched RENT during LA lesson on Thursday
which made me start to think a lot about
homosexuality and AIDS
Mr Kaw asked us if we would feel uncomfortable
if we were in a room full of people with AIDS
Honestly I would
but uncomfortable is not the right word
I would be scared to be more precise
because to me
uncomfortable has that meaning of rejection

I don't reject them.

I thought for a while and figured out that
I wouldn't mind hanging out with people having AIDS
especially if they are people I love
I believe that love will triumph fear.
I remember there was once our gang discussed
what if a guy we love tells us he has AIDS?

While there are people who will not mind taking care of him
there are also those who will give up and leave
I'm not saying being practical is wrong la
or maybe they simply just cannot accept the fact that
the guy actually "did it"! :X
But if we really love a person from the bottom of our heart
to me lah to me as long as he's the happiness I'm searching for
I will not mind
I will not mind not having 3 kids too AHAHAHAHA xD

I know it's easier said than done
but I will try :)
The key lies in love I guess
真正的爱是尝试包容彼此的一切

But of course the 前提 is
he must not be frivolous la!
Woah diao if he's frivolous and 玩弄 my 感情
before the virus kills him
I will grip a parang and kill him first!!

I very the like the song "Seasons of Love"! ^^
It's on replay nowww

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life

How about Love~

NICE TO THE MAX ^^

OHOH! The 重点 is
we think we saw Mr Kaw tear!! :O
a few other people and I saw his red eyes and Rudolph's nose
during a scene when a group of people with AIDS gathered tgt
and sang "Will I" from Life Support

Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care~
Will I wake tomorrow
from this nightmare~

I think he thought he would escape unnoticed
but didn't expect our eyesights to be so good!
Awww 原来 he's so easily moved lehhh
so Jermia Lai the genius thought of an uber great idea!

On Teacher's Day we shall draw him a card
with our super pretty butterflies flowers sunshine and everything nice
then inside we shall write a bigbig
"WE CARE!" (at least most of us I hope :X)
Woah I bet when he sees
he will cry out an ocean (or at least a pond)
in the staff room! OMG I AM TOO CLEVER (Y)
but it's too lame nobody will do it with me oneee D;

408 was super awesome at Teacher's Day audtions yesterday!
I think our class can form a band already lor
and we sing so beautifully somemore :D
Especially me!
I was feeling so fortunate that we have HaoMing who are so enthu
and Weihui who didn't mind singing so many times
(she actually likes it larh) so all of us are familiar with the tunes alr!
Thank you everybody 408 rocks socks!! ^^

The class blog is seriously dead
but nvm our spirit is like more alive than ever (Y)

Trying hard to practise our Founder's Day songs now
sang it yesterday and found out how failed I am -.-ll
kept getting stuck at "zhan ji pi jing" or something O.O
Must sing it properly this year!
This is like my last Founder's Day in Nanyang already...

Gave Mrs Lai back my NYAA booklet yesterday
she was telling me that she thought I surely no problem one
and put my booklet at the last
in the end she got a shock when she saw my diary
Omg sorry Mrs Lai D:

If you are feeling sad and you know it

2011-08-09T20:38:00.005+08:00

woahhh I can't stand it anymore I must rant and I must complain!! xO

I have been visiting the Temasek Review website for a while now. I understand that the Straits Times is quite pro-government, so I thought Temasek Review might be a good medium to obtain reliable and unbiased information.

I puke blood totally. The way they talk about stuffs. Even though Blogger does not allow copy and pasting, I shall quote something from the TR and type it word for word to show how ____ (fill in your own word) they are. Okay, they are not TOTALLY ____, but they are ____ most of the time. By the way, ____ is not a compliment .__.

"......the regime continues to spend millions of dollars of taxpayers' monies each year on the extravagant National Day Parade reminiscent of North Korea's yearly Arirang Festival to glorify its despotic rule." Source: http://www.temasekreview.com/2011/08/09/singaporean-irritated-by-rc-members-hanging-of-flags-outside-her-unit/

Firstly, HELLO HAVE YOU WATCHED NK'S ARIRANG FESTIVAL BEFORE? I do not remember, at least in this year's National Day Parade, performers marching around carrying portraits of the leaders and proclaiming how great and noble they are. I do not sense that the National Day Parade is a PAP propaganda. It is a parade in celebration of our country, our people and the Singapore spirit - how we have come together in times of difficulties since the Kampong days, how we look out for each other and strive hard towards common goals. It highlights the continuation of the Singapore Spirit, not the PAP spirit. Towards the end of the musical, we saw the little boy running around the stage waving the Singapore flag, not the PAP flag. And how is Singapore's rule like that of North Korea? North Korea is communist; people do not have the right to vote for their government. Singapore is democratic, we DO have the right to vote the current regime out if we really buay song! But the thing is 60.1% of the population is not buay song, unlike you! SO FREE GO WATCH THE ARIRANG FESTIVAL LA CRAP SO MUCHHH!!

Secondly, the fact that you do not care about having a National Day Parade, or rather, you feel NOTHING about National Day does not mean that it does not mean a thing to many other Singaporeans too. What is the significance of National Day? It is a day set aside for Singaporeans, as well as people who love Singapore, to celebrate its independence, to celebrate Singapore.

Which brings me to my next point. Singapore does not equate to its government. You can be unhappy about the current regime, but how, how can you not love our country? D: And how, can a person who does not love where he/she belongs maintain and run a website which can truly, bring to its readers truthful and objective information for the good of Singapore? If you are just feeling unhappy with the country, you will probably just publish bad (and probably biased) stuffs most of the time. Which, in my opinion, is what Temasek Review is doing. I don't see pleasant stuffs there; All I see are complains, 80% of which are so irrational they are blood-puking-inducing.

Btw, even though that quote is taken from "Opinions", I assume that the editors of Temasek Review wrote it since the above quote is not in bold.

I understand that the Temasek Review exposes the discontentment Singaporeans have, like inflation, certain policies, and the influx of foreigners (be it foreign workers or foreign talents) especially. It is good to know what problems fellow Singaporeans are facing. However, I think they (both the editors and the readers) are a little overboard in the things they say, and are emotional most of the time they sound like naggy and whiny Juliet's nurses. People can even blame foreign talents for technical glitches in DBS ATM machines. (http://www.temasekreview.com/2011/08/06/dbs-atm-upgrade-glitch-causes-cash-to-be-dispensed-only-after-10-seconds/) They are so awesome in twisting stuffs they should consider being scriptwriters for Korean dramas.

Really, Temasek Review, what's your purpose? Uniting Singaporeans? Haha. Laugh til my teeth drop guang guang to the max -.-ll

For more ~~information~~ crappy posts, please feel free to visit the website.

Just gulped down about half a litre of water ranting about the Temasek Review. Roar.

I'm sorry if you really like the Temasek Review, but I do hope that despite having differing opinions of that website, we can still be friends! :DDD

Happy 46th Birthday Singapore! I love you a lot a lot :)

2011-08-07T20:30:00.001+08:00

This week wasn't a good week for Aquarius :(

Read Kaixuan's wowishly reflective blog post just now
and realised that her week
was just as... emotionally draining as mine
Hers is because of block tests (and maybe K too)
Mine is because of block tests...
and a dream

I'm not talking about "dreams" as in aspirations and goals
like our LA block test paper question 5
"We should not give up our dreams easily" :P

Let's side-track abit and talk about the LA block test paper :D
Mr Kaw, or rather his paper, is kind and nice :)
I didn't write question 5 I wrote question 1
I wrote about poverty and put my IH knowledge into good use! :P

I assume you know what kind of dream I am talking about now
It's the sleeping kind of dream larh
Don't laugh at me for being emotionally affected
because of a dream
It was disturbing D:
I felt threatened
and I am scared :(

I think I am too stressed
I hope that I had that dream because I was too stressed
because that way
I won't have that scary dream
when I don't feel stressed anymore D:

I need strength from my Lord :O

At this period of emotional turmoil
I feel blessed to have manymany friends
who are willing to lend me their listening ears
Thank you so much Gennie ^^
I am so glad that she didn't say stuffs like
"oh Jermia it's so crappy! So scared for what.
It was only just a dream~~ (sings)"
She listens and she cares
I LOVE YOU GENNIE x3

I shall listen to FM92.4 to go to sleep later
Classical music calms your mind and soothes your soul
Good music, good life! (Y)

OH HAHAHA sometimes I'll get confused between
FM92.4 and FM94.2
like today evening on the bus ride back home
I was like... wow! FM92.4 plays hip and upbeat music too!
(I couldn't hear the lyrics)
It was only until I got off the bus
and listened to a language that I didn't understand
that I realised I tuned in to the wrong channel .__.ll

The block test period has allowed me to
better understand our form and co-form teachers to a certain extent
Got one time Yang Laoshi told us
“每人拿三张纸。拿多过三张你就不是美人哦！”(Y)

Mrs Lai is an awesomely caring and hardworking teacher :)
Hilary and I stayed back in school to mug Chem on Thursday
We stayed back until quite late
then we decided to find Mrs Lai cos
there were stuffs we didn't understand

And Mrs Lai was still in school! Like especially for us leh :):)
'Us' as in not Hilary and Jermia, but all her students
in case you misunderstand HAHAHA!! ;D
Hilary and I were being fascinated by her explanations
to our questions :O
For more information refer to Kaixuan's latest blog post!

Math lesson was a lot better than I thought
as in initially I thought I'm just going to
keep staring at my desk for the whole lesson
without having the courage to look up at Mr Khoo x__x
Mr Khoo was indeed angry when he stepped into our class
but I think he felt happier when he saw the announcement
reminding the class to vote in Teacher's Day Awards
and vote Mr Khoo for Most Inspiring Teacher heehee! :DD
Then he said "am I inspiring? I'm just about to scold you!"
He postponed his scoldings to the time
when he returns us our math papers xP

Watched HP and the Deathly Hallows Part II on Friday
I don't know why but I kept having the illusion that
Voldemort's nose was getting bigger and bigger
as the movie progresses :O

Chatted with Kaixuan who is feeling unhappy :(
All I can say is... get well soon and jiayou!!
Block tests 2 wasn't very good for both of us
and a lot of other people too
but it's probably time to get on with life

I think one of the quotes that influenced me a lot is
“伤心也是一天，快乐也是一天。
还不如快快乐乐地过着每一天"
Indeed, sometimes it's difficult for us to cheer up
but really, what's the point of feeling depressed?
It doesn't solve the problem
it doesn't make you feel any better
it doesn't make the people around you feel good too

We shouldn't waste our time away feeling sad
when many other people are struggling against time to live
For every 5 seconds we spend sighing and crying
9 people die around the world
I am not saying that feeling sad is a bad thing
afterall it is natural; it is part of being human
short periods of sadness make us normal
prolonged periods of sadness make us depressed D:
We should treat ourselves and the people around us better
find the crux of the issue and look for ways to solve it! :)

Yes we should 认真对待我们所做的每一件事
但是错了，伤心了，知错了，学习了
就该放下了
Compared to the many challenges and setbacks
we are going to face for the next...manymany years of our lives
block test 2 is really 小事一桩

祝大家幸福快乐!

2011-08-03T13:03:00.006+08:00

Jermia hasn't been feeling happy these 2 days
because she flunked her math paper D;
Although she still is (and will always be)
Mr Khoo's no.2 fangirl
she thinks that with this guilty state of mind she has presently
she will go berserk if she were to see Mr Khoo now
我现在最不愿意看到的
是 Mr Khoo's disappointed look
Sorry Mr Khoo... 是我辜负了你 :(

I already flunked math
so I can't afford to flunk anything else already!!
In a bid to make myself 振作起来
and 化悲愤为食量力量
to mug IH and Physics yesterday
so that I won't 对不起 Mr Tay and Mr Tan also
I discovered a really effective method to calm myself down
Listening to classical music on FM92.4 helps a lot :DD

过去的就让它过去吧
The most important thing is I must learn from my mistakes
and work extra hard to make sure that
I won't repeat them again
以后一定要加倍努力 (Y)!

Talking about the math paper...
There was this period of time when I felt panicky
while revisiting those questions that I didn't know how to do
I was asking Mrs Lai for a few pieces of paper
then after passing me those pieces of foolscap papers
she gave me a pat on my shoulder :)
which shocked me a bit...
but it gave me a feeling of reassurance
and I felt peaceful and motivated again ;D
At that moment
I was touched ^^ (double meanings heehee! :P)

Shall start my recount with Minghui's epic joke:

有一个医生要测试一个精神病人的智商有没有受影响
所以他问那个精神病人：
“如果我剁掉你的一只耳朵，你会怎么样？”
那个精神病人回答：
"我会听不见”
那个医生便很开心地继续问：
“那如果我把你的两只耳朵都剁掉呢？”
精神病人说：
"我会看不见”
医生想：“惨了惨了，他的智商有问题”
他问精神病人为什么？
精神病人回答：

“因为我的眼镜会掉下来”

Mr Tay was hilarious during IH remedial last week :DD!
He was trying to explain the difference
between context and content I think :O
So he said, "I see people eating. (:X)
Therefore I am eager to find something to eat after I get out.
The context is
I am hungry." (Y)!
After that he said he was being sarcastic O.O

Before remedial ended
he said that we must read between the lines
and think beyond the obvious .__.ll
Students: HUHHH~
Mr Tay: You are Nanyang girls!
Sinlie: We are Nanyang girls, not wondergirls!
Mr Tay: I am training all of you to be wondergirls. Or WONDERING GIRLS
BEST (Y)

Oh yesterday...
Brenda was telling me about Teacher xxxxx
who wishes that students have block tests everyday
so that the school will remain peaceful and quiet .__. !
I was complaining that Teacher xxxxx "is super saddist leh!"
then Mr Tay suddenly popped out from nowhere
and spoke loudly with his boomzie voice!
Omg he scared me out of my wits
even though I don't have much wits for him to scare out -_-
cos for a moment I thought it was Teacher xxxxx
x___x 做贼心虚 to the max
My blood circulation was super good for a few minutes -.-ll

Speaking about blood circulation reminds me of bio! ^^
Ms Chee must be laughing her hearts out
while marking the bio papers now :):)
I heard of many epic answers which are hall-of-fame worthy
One of which is something that many sanbas wrote
"The eyeballs will not pop out even if we sneeze with our eyes opened
as the RECTAL muscles will hold on to it" AHAHAHAHA!!!
Rectal muscles vs Rectus muscles funny to the max
And the most epic thing is rectal muscles do exist
if you don't know what it is you can try googling it!

I totally died-ed for part 2 of the last essay question
about recommending heart surgeries for Mr Tan x__x
I didn't mug that part so I relied entirely on my crapping skills :(
I was trying very hard to recall the name of the heart surgery
It is "coronary bypass" but I forgot
and the OST of the korean drama 赤子之心 kept playing in my head
which led to the creation on my newly created word
"the doctor may recommend Mr Tan to go for BICASPY" xO!

Somemore I wrote that the surgery will involve
the doctor using sunction to suck the saturated fats out
omydiao I was laughing at my own answer .__.ll
I was telling Samantha I shall consider becoming a heart surgeon
when I grow up so that I can invent Bicaspy someday :DD

Just for laughs (Quizzes):

No.1

Mr Khoo before the math quiz on quizzes:
MK: If you don't write your name
There is a price. (aka minus one mark)
It is PRICCCCCCCCCEEEE
not PRIZZZZZZEEEE
xD!

No.2

Mr Tan BH before physics quiz:
"Ya the quiz is open book, can refer to notes.
Get zero only mah."
Epic win (Y)!

I hope Kawrrect will 大发慈悲
and not kill us for LA expository essay tomorrow :O

Jiayou for LA and Chemistry block tests everybody! :D

2011-07-26T19:44:00.002+08:00

Questions from Formspring! :D

Q: haha jermia since when you had formspring! so fail la you! im the first person who asked you a question! can you guess who am i?

A: Eh I very free hor guess who you are!! :P You're definitely not Erntian cos she's very particular about English grammar so she won't put I as 'i'. Hmm~ You are lame and you are mean so I guess you are Jiexi or Samantha or Agnes! :XX

Q: How do people come up with English words! D;

A: I also don't know leh... D: D: Want to try googling it? Heehee

Q: why did you create this formspring?

A: It's mainly for fun ^^ People ask me very interesting and thought-provoking questions :) It's also to provide a platform for people to ask me questions that they normally do not dare to ask? HAHAHA

Q: Do you believe there's intelligent life on other planets?

A: Maybe? ^^

Q: If you had the opportunity to live one year of your life over again, which year would you choose?

A: "You leave me speechless~" I... hmm... hahaha. There is a particular year that popped up in my head when I saw your question, but I'm not sure if I would want to live it over again... I don't know what I can do, or rather what difference I can make if I were to go back to that year. 有一些事情，即使知道是遗憾，就算有机会回到过去，也不能改变什么。我还会是那么的胆怯，没有勇气 umm yupyup :) HAHAHA so interesting what makes you want to ask me this question!

Q: Would you rather date a lot of different people, or be in a committed relationship?

A: Committed relationship :) Of course la!! ORH HOR you never read your bio textbook! :O

2011-07-21T03:16:00.005+08:00

Psps! It is 'Jane Eyre' not "Jane Eeyre" xO
Must be influenced by Woonyee
who told me that she used to pronounce
'Jane Eyre' as Jane Eeeeyer~ :P

Last minute addition:
Ms Chee is so brave!
Xiuyi and I are super duper proud of her :)
Proud to be her fangirls jiayou Ms Chee! ^^

I am sorry blog D:
I am sorry readers for not posting
and mia-ing for so long D: D:
It pains my heart to see some of you reading my archives
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :X So cute leh~ :DD
It's not because school is boring
it has been very enjoyable and fun :):)
The problem lies with this lazy pig here -@-
To show my sincerest apology
I shall show all of you a super special and nice video! :)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZZivl5iKCo&feature=related

You are wonderful just the way you are :D!

We only have a few more lessons left with Yeong sensei :(
Last week we were talking about our 悩みs (troubles)
so sensei asked us to guess what are his 悩みs
Surprisingly all of us super got 默契
and replied "結婚！" in unison HAHAHA!! ;DD
Yeong sensei super cute!
He agreed while nodding his head and pouting his lips :P

MR KHOO IS SUPER EPIAC (Y)
Last week there was this talk about Pi by this pro professor
which made Mr Khoo super pleased and delighted
When he walked past our class after the talk ended
he was grinning from ear to ear! ^^
Then during a lesson he told us
"At my time, I only knew that 50000 decimal places were calculated.
Now billions of numbers are calculated.
Madness" HAHAHA!!
Then he shared with us yet another Mr Khoo 名言
which is posted on the wall of Mr Khoo fanclub (Y)

If you want to be good at something, you have to be passionate about it

Then got another time
Haoqing was high-ing during math lesson
She always highs during Math larh
Math only -winks- ;D
Then Mr Khoo suggested that Haoqing switch seats with Chiaying
so that Chiaying can neutralise our area
Neutralise our gila-ness cos our area got Minghui also :P!
MK,"luckily I am not the one sitting there.
Chiaying is the neutraliser, I am the TERMINATOR"
OMG AHAHAHAHA our class laughed like mad
and kept clapping like seals xDD!

Mr Benson Tay told us he got OCD leh!! :O
I think it's not the cleanliness kind of OCD
he told us it's the marking/writing kind of OCD
MT, "I cannot stand me marking without drawing the curves below"
Ya no wonder he always draws the ribbon-like thingy
after each and every comment o.o
It's quite pretty la beautify our boring looking scripts :P

Oh yes there was this particular IH lesson
whereby we got into groups and discussed solutions
for the tomato farmers in Ghana
Then somehow our group thought of
asking Mr Chong to advertise for Ghana de tomatoes
It will go something like this:

-Mr Chong picks up a tomato-
MC: Just eat it
-Mr Chong takes a bite of the tomato-
MC: It sucks!

omy our group laughed super hard for super long
cos it reminded us of the times in Beijing
when he told us he's a fan of NIKE
and another time when we went to an orlulu food court
where he ate like he had not eaten for a few days
and it was only when he finished eating everything that he told us
"the food here sucks!" (Y)

Today we had LA lit pull-out
which was ultra uber super extra funnn! ^^
Mr James Tan cut his hair and
I couldn't stop laughing whenever I look at his hair
cos he looks like Chicken Little HAHAHAHA!!! xD
He showed us the movie "Jane Eyre"
then towards the back there was this scene
where the couple muacked larh x__x
It was super paiseh and there was an awkward silence
then Mr Tan suddenly said "AWWW SO SWEET!"
which made all of us laugh
I MISS MR TAAARRRRNNNNN :(

After showing us the movie he told us
that when we cross over and look for boyfriends
we must understand them thoroughly first
and make sure they are not blind HAHAHAHA!!
"Even if they are blind
they will recover miraculously" (Y)!

After Lit pull-out
Minghui the boliao girl kept imitating Mr Rochester
in the scene where he was blind
OMG SHE LOOKED SUPER SPASTIC xDD!
I think my lung capacity increased ever since I sit beside her
she's super hilarious but super lame can!
If Jermia Lai is the diao queen then she's the king of diao-ness!
Got one time I told her
我受不了你了我要跟你离婚！
then she told me 其实你可以肥起来的
AHHAHHHAHHHHH~

I think our school is very particular about our
corporate video this year
Hire hair stylist somemore leh! :O
Minghui told me her sister's class was involved in the filming
then the hair stylist wanted to cut her sister's hair! O.O
Apparently Mr Lee protected her hair by saying that
the hair is very precious AHAHAHAHA!! :DD
Then her classmates donated loads of hairclips to her :)

And today someone was complaining to me that
she had to stand for half an hour under the sun
to wait for the 'right' amount of sunlight
to shine on them so that
the shadows will be nice or something O.O!

I think the school wishes to portray us as being
very elegant very 端正 very pretty
cos Nanyang girls are really chio :)
But what about the 朴 part hmmm... .__.
Anyway Nanyang is a really great school
worthy of a super great corporate video :DD

If I don't want to cross the bridge
Can I just burn the bridge down? D:

2011-07-10T03:03:00.005+08:00

*Correction to previous blog post*
Mr Tan introduced Mrs Tan to Jermia
not the other way round psps! xP xO Dx

I think I am in the blogging mood now :DD
I rarely chiong 2 posts in one day leh! -claps-

Shall start by sharing with you Hilary's epic-ness xD!
That time Haoqing and Minghui told us
Chem quiz was postponed to another day
which made Hilary ultra happy then she did
a super 搞笑 pose while screaming "YES!!"
Aiya I feel like posting a video or emoticon
showing her super funny pose :P
Interested parties can come to me I will demo for yall to see ^^

I was super amused at her funny pose
so I kept imitating her xDD!
Then she told me "Eh stop imitating me leh look like 盲人!"
I thought it was weird like
in what way does it look like a 盲人? O.O
So I asked her "You mean 流氓 issit!" :P
OMG HILARY SUPER EPIC
盲人 vs 流氓 HAHAHAHA!! ;DD
Even though they sound a bit the same
but to link them together a bit hard ah? :P :P
We kept imagining a 盲人 doing Hilary's pose
and ended up laughing like crazy women
while climbing up the stairs
AHHH Hilary you are super win (Y)!

Talking about Chem quiz reminds me of Mr Khoo ^^
There was this time he told us
he would be swopping a lesson with Mrs Lai
so we would be seeing him for 2 hours in a day :):)
Then when he left we cheered super loudly (^ ^)/
which made him look inside out of curiosity
I think Mr Khoo thought we were cheering
cos we could see him for 2 periods
but actually we were cheering because
we were supposed to have the chem quiz
during that chem lesson :X :X
But we were also happy to see Mr Khoo for 2 hours la! :DD

We were saying that Mr Khoo became more epic
after he came back from the Beijing trip with us ^^
Must be influenced by Haoqing's insanity la hahaha!
Mr Khoo was teaching then he suddenly asked us about
'Shampoo' in Hokkien which is 'Sabun'
After that he spent 5-10 minutes sharing with us
his interest in tracing the origins of dialects (Y)!
He's super amazed because 'Shampoo' in malay
is 'Sabun' also :DD We became super amazed too LOL!!

After that he asked us if he's boring
cos the Taiwan students kept sleeping during his class -frowns-
No Mr Khoo~ not boring~ D: D:
Then he started describing this only Taiwan student
who didn't sleep during his class
and took notes diligently although he didn't understand :D
Mr Khoo imitated his facial expressions
which made me laugh like mad at the back alone xP
Pangseh-ed to laugh alone again .__.ll

LA lessons were super fun and entertaining
cos we were presenting to the class
or rather Ms Lossa Mani and panelists
our concepts and ideas for our "ideal school" :):)
Gahyarn suggested letting the students cook their own lunch
which made the class laugh non-stop :D!
Then I think Gahyarn couldn't take it anymore
that nobody was listening to what she was saying
so she said "Can you all just shut up?"
which made the class laugh even harder HAHAHA! xDD
And we heard Mr Kaw's laughter for the first time
His laughter is very... interesting :P

Then there was this other person
who suggested that teachers carry out their teaching
in both Chinese and English
so that students can be truly effectively bilingual :O
Kawrrect was protesting violently at the side
I think his Chinese really CMI x__x
And he tried to buy us over by using Mr Khoo and Mrs Lai! :P
Mr Kaw: "Imagine Mr Khoo teaching math in both chinese and english" :D
Then someone used Ms Chee's bio extra credit as an example (Y)!
Like even though it's quite fun and interesting
learning sciences in both languages can mati one xO

During our group's presentation
I learnt from Kawrrect that the word "staff"
is always singular and has no plural form
-realization and enlightenment- :O

Before I end
I must write this down so that I can laugh at it
10 years later when I read this blog post again :DD!

Last week during SIL
our classmates didn't dare to sit on their seats
cos there was a cockroach lurking around their area D:
Then when Mr Chong walked past
Minghui asked him "Mr Chong can you help us kill a cockroach?"
Mr Chong: Cannot la I cannot sit with yall
I have to go and sit with my class
Minghui: Erm no Mr Chong we need you to kill a cockroach
Mr Chong: No no I really cannot I need to go and sit with my class
-Mr Chong walked away leaving all of us 傻眼ed-

Mr Chong is ultra epic (Y)
he totally thought we requested him to sit with us during SIL
HAHAHAHAHA!! xDD
Laughed til my teeth drop guang guang
when Minghui shared this with me

Yes Mr Chong we know we always
fought to chope you for lunch in Beijing
and we do love you a lot as a teacher
but definitely not to the extent of
asking you to sit with us despo-ly during SILs xP!

And a few days ago
I was looking for teachers
to give them their Thank You Cards with Kaixuan :):)
Then we saw Mr Chong who said
"You are in charge of delivering the funeral notices ah!"
I nearly puked blood xO

Mr Chong is like a friend
a super epic and hilarious friend :)

2011-07-10T01:11:00.005+08:00

'1000' left me emotionally drained
Even the sandwich machine didn't appeal to me anymore D:
It took me a KOI Milk Tea (Large) for me to regain my vitality xP

Before the play started
Mr Robertson the art teacher came out and said stuffs like
we were in a bomb shelter and
had to stay in there for an hour
We were not supposed to leave the 'bomb shelter'
"even for a toilet break" (Y)!
The coolest part was how they tried to make
the audience switch off/not use their mobile phones
by saying that the enemies will hear their beeps
He also said that photography and videography were not allowed
Anyone caught taking photos or videos would be treated as "spies"
and would be "executed the British way" HAHAHA
super cool and super creative! ^^

What I find amazing about this play were the
parades/catwalks/however you call it
The poses were cute and entertaining
but that's not the point la :P
At the beginning when they paraded
the audiences were cheering loudly and enthusiastically for them
Subsequently in the middle of the play
they did the same thing again
but this time round the audience remained silent
I didn't even see a smile on anyone's face

I thought the contrast was super cool
The first time they did it we thought the girls were super cute
but the second time they did it
I think most of us were "what??!!"ing
It sets you thinking :)
Mr Nick Ng described it as the "distortion of human beings"
Ya... Really siao liao =/

It reminds me of the panel discussion we had in Beijing
A group was discussing if nuclear energy is worth developing I think
I remember a few people substantiated their points by saying that
we shouldn't give up this source of clean and sustainable energy
because of the safety issues involved
Some even said that although nuclear leaks occurred
"major nuclear disasters were rare"
Did they consider how many people died and suffered
because of their so-called "rare major nuclear disasters"?
It's hundreds of thousands of them in a single incident
It was super scary and worrying
The way they put it D:

Just a food for thought :)
Other personal thoughts and reflections
shall be kept to me and myself only muahahaha! :P

Oh yes! Super epic just now xD
Throughout the whole play
I was sitting beside this family of 4
Because it was dark so I didn't bother to look at their faces
I just thought that the kids were super adorable
especially the smaller boy
his daddy was struggling to keep him still
while he was struggling to "escape from his daddy's clutches" LOL!
It was only until the end after we stood up and prepared to leave
that I realised it was Mr Tan Boon Hian's family!! :O :O

Shocked to the max when I realised
so I gave a super shocked face (OoO!) while
exclaiming "Mr Tan!!"
Then he introduced me to his wife whom I greeted "Mrs Tan"
HAHAHA! I was super flustered
I think I was doing the kowtowing action when greeting her -.-ll

Awesome job TCN! So proud of yall ^^

2011-07-03T19:56:00.003+08:00

Before I start
I shall share with you something quite epic
which I did when I was in Sec 2 :P

It was my Grade 5 Piano Exam
During the aural component
the examiner played a piece and asked me
which period I think it was from

Being a Piano student who did not take Piano Theory
of course I won't know which period it was from la xO
So I just replied "Romantic Period"
Then when he asked me for the reason why I thought so
I told him "because I have the romantic feeling"
with that qian4 bian3 I-look-so-immersed-in-that-song look :P
And he looked like he was going to laugh :P
but I think he suppressed his laughter to be nice :DD
I got quite high for that aural leh surprisingly!!
16 out of 18 ^^ Yayyy that examiner so nice HAHAHA!

Secondly I realise my blog is a very good platform
for fangirls to stalk teachers O.O
Someone who stumbled to my blog today
searched "benson tay nanyang girls high" :O
woah Mr Tay got fan(s) leh! Not bad not bad! :DD

Okay let's get started!
Friday was an extremely epic and hilarious day :):)
Started it with the SAF Rededication Day
whereby male teachers went up the stage in their NS uniforms
wow it stirred up a lot of excitement LOL! xD

I like Mr Calvin Lee's speech on his reservice days (Y)!
Like he wasn't happy about being called back for 2 weeks
during the March holidays and that
he was called Croissant by his team mates because he
"couldn't stand it and corrected their pronunciation" AHAHAHA!! xDD
I thought that part about sacrifice was meaningful :):)
To protect "all of you and all of me" LOL!!
Epicly hilariously entertaining sharing :D

There was a time when Mdm Heng couldn't pop the party poppers
then Mr Tay, Mr Teo and Mr Ng I think (O.O)
went up to save the day! :DD
Wow I felt super assured and relieved when they popped it
like... I can entrust the defence of our country to thy hands! (Y)
If they couldn't even pop the party poppers
I would be super worried and would consider joining the SAF
but nvm they popped it! yayyy! :):)

Another high-ness came when
Mdm Heng helped our class to advertise
during the morning assembly :DD!
We were phew!-ing wow no need to advertise hiongly already!
And we were super glad that she requested
that no photos/videos be taken during the process
so our 'security' weren't as tight as planned initially :P

Nobody posted her photos/videos on Facebook yayyy!

We are veryvery glad that all the teachers
whom we invited and confirmed with
came to our stall on Friday! :D :D
They are all very nice people who are willing to
do their part for charity by erm... trying something different! ^^

I was looking through the photos taken by
Zouyan and Danielle on the teachers being dunked
for the Thank You cards and decided that
although funny photos appeal to us more
pictures that depict them looking happy/cute will be
better gifts and souvenirs to them :)
Especially if they chance upon the card manymany years later
they will be able to look at the card happily
thinking "wow! I have done something cool and meaningful!" ^^

For many of us the 408-ers
it was a beautiful and fun memory shared with the teachers
which we will never forget for a longlong time :D
I hope this is so for the teachers too!
Hope they had fun!! ^^
I had a very fun time laughing til I cried to myself
while looking through the photo albums HAHAHAHA!!
omy this is so evil =/

Just For Laughs YDF'11 Preparation/Event

No.1: I was begging Mr Tan Boon Hian to come to our stall before Physics lesson. Then he told me, "I will go when I am free, but usually not free one la." (Y)!

No.2: Ms Chee got dunked 3 times in a row!! Before that she was "nehnehnehpoopoo"ing which was super cute ^^ I think she got traumatised after being dunked 3 times consecutively, she said that she "won't do this anymore!" We 心痛ed to the max whenever she was dunked xO

No.3: Was it on Tuesday or Wednesday? Mr Michael Chang was introduced as our school's resident artist. Seeing how popular he is with Nanyang girls, we decided to invite him to our dunking event too! However, Mr Chang is a free-spirited soul and therefore it was super hard to find him. Got one time we were going off for lunch when we saw him far far away. We were so excited we were screaming "Michael Chang! Michael Chang!!" and I think he heard us cos we saw him smile a bit xP! He came for our event with a rubber duckie hand-made hat around his head! HAHAHA (Y) He had an ice-cream stick inside his mouth throughout too!

No.4: Mr Benson Tay was epic to the max. I think he thought other teachers were going to be dunked for half an hour, so he told us he would "only be available for 10 minutes". And after an hour of watching the documentary mentioned before, he told us that he would lengthen his dunking time to 15 minutes to thank us for "being so patient". Yup! That's why Mr Tay had 15 minutes! Hahaha after the dunk he said he felt "cool~" ;DD

No.5: With Yang Laoshi's recommendation, we decided to invite 张荣华老师. The invitation process was super epic, especially when Yang Laoshi was around. I think Zhang Laoshi was asking us if he must wear swimming trunks, then Yang Laoshi said, “张老师要穿游泳裤轰动南洋女中咯！”which made all of us laugh like mad xDD

No.6: In a bid to save himself from being dunked, Mr Chong said, "You don't want to get A1 for block test issit!" xDD Wow it worked. He's the luckiest teacher that day. He was only dunked twice despite many attempts from students to hit the target! :O

Yup that's all for Just For Laughs! :)

Before I end I shall share with all of you
Minghui's epic 歪ness during Bio lesson on Thursday
Ms Chee was teaching us about contraceptives
And in a video about femidoms
it was stated that "After use, it should be put away in
rubbish bins or a safe and secure place"
Then Minghui said "put it in the 保险箱! (the safe)"
because the safe is the safest and most secure place
OMG all of us nearly fainted from laughter ;D!

2011-06-30T01:44:00.005+08:00

Mdm Heng agreed to participate in our activity!! :DD

Hahaha wow Gennie and I were so
nervous and scared prior to meeting Mdm Heng :O
We know she's friendly and approachable
but that feeling was still there
That feeling we get before it's our turn to make a solo speech

Why do I get the feeling that I'm writing a poem ah O.O

I think she sensed our nervousness hahaha! xDD
So before we started
she talked to us about the meeting room
being Mdm Chew's office previously
then the ex-meeting room became a sick bay :)
Amazingly enough
we felt less nervous and more relaxed :):)

OH YES the epic thing was
she initially thought we were interviewing her
for our CME project! ;DD
After that we started talking to her about
inviting her to participate in our dunking machine thing
Initially she looked quite shocked
Every teacher we asked looked shocked and scared
when we mentioned the dunking machine la
AHAHAHAHA xDD!

But after that she agreed (Y)
Super 爽快 and super cool :DD
Mdm Heng is super supportive seriously!!!
I mean not many principals can be as 亲民 as her
Aiya I don't know how to describe la
but she's super cool and super nice!

Please go join the Mdm Heng fanclub on FB if you haven't ^^

Then we came out of the meeting room and saw Mr Kaw!
It's like when Mdm Heng agreed
all of us were cheering loudly inside our hearts
I could feel that all of us were suppressing our veryvery
agitated emotions (because we are in the General Office :X)
but when we saw Mr Kaw all of us just
jumped around and high-ed quietly inside HAHAHA!!!
At that moment I thought to myself

MR KAW ROCKS OUR SOCKS TO THE MAX LARH!!!!!

Reason 1: Mr Kaw was the one who suggested Gennie and me to go find Mdm Heng. So he was the errr... mastermind? HAHAHA The motivation! (Y)

Reason 2: 1 hour before we met Mdm Heng, Gennie and I were super scared. Then we consulted Mr Kaw who went through with us the various possible scenarios, teaching us what to say in various situations. The confidence-booster! (Y) (Y)

Reason 3: When we came out of the meeting room and told him (or rather signalled to him :P) that Mdm Heng agreed, he smiled leh! SMILED LIKE A BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN. All of us were telling each other later on that we were all very touched ;D Cos we could feel that he felt happy for us, and he's the first person who shared our joy with us, from the bottom of his heart.

First time I think Mr Kaw rocks so much leh!

Okay Jiayou 408 for Friday!
We have all worked hard
For 408, For Nanyang, For Charity ^^

Sounds so propaganda-ish :O

We must persuade Ms Lydia Teo to come! :):)
Then Mr Paul Tan will come also!
Okay must Jiayou~

Aiyo actually I have a lot of interesting stories
to share with you
but it's late and La Jermia has to go sleep :D
Good night everybody
and may you have a nice and happy day ahead!
:)

2011-06-27T22:18:00.004+08:00

Term 3 started on a happy note! :DD

Today's lessons were relatively epic
Especially Bio when all of us including Ms Chee
were laughing like mad half of the time! xDD
AHHH MS CHEE IS SO CUTE! x3
We were going through the anatomy and functions of the
male reproductive system today
which made a lot of us giggle due to paiseh-ness I think .__.
Shumin is always high during Bio :O
I could hear her laughing loudly all the way
from the other end of the classroom leh! :P

Oh I think it all started when Ms Chee asked us
if it's possible for a guy to pee when ejaculating :O
She said something which made all of us burst out laughing
something like "Are you sure you want to pee? Now?!!"
Then Minghui added by saying "free flow!!" LOLOL!! xDD
Laughed until we teared with Sonia, Minghui and Haoqing! ;D

After that Shumin asked Ms Chee about pre-ejaculation :O
It's supposedly a medical condition whereby a guy
ejaculates before ahems O.O
Anyway Ms Chee was reallyreally super tickled by pre-ejaculation! xDD
This was the first time we saw her laugh so uncontrollably
she looked like she was laughing til she cried ;DD
Seeing how amused she was
all of us laughed with her too HAHAHA!!!
Ms Chee's laughter is very contagious :P

Anyway the funny thing is
while she was laughing about the "pre-ejaculation" thingo
she kept telling herself
"No! We shouldn't laugh about this! This is a serious medical condition!"
but the more she tried to suppress her laughter
the more she couldn't stop laughing
which made all of us laugh even more xD

She's super cute la! (Y)
There was a time when she replied ”そうです"
which made Xiuyi and I scream inside our hearts for her
Fangirls FTW! HAHAHA :P

I am very sorry if I disturbed all of you
with all those ejaculation stuffs :(
I know some of you may feel uncomfortable cos
aiya my blog is always rated PG de
now it suddenly became so M18 and R21 D:
sorry sorry but like what Mr Tay said earlier today
"these are birds and bees!" or something O.O

His facial expressions when he saw
all those male reproductive organs related biology terms
were totally priceless (Y)

Mr Tay is a very nice and kind teacher
he tried to let us relax a bit by not starting with lessons today
He showed us a video (documentary?) instead :P
Classic example of 先甜后苦
we are going to be drowned by IH essays/SBQs soon enough -winks-

CME! Wang Dandan laoshi promised to not give us homework
saying that CME is supposed to be a time for us to
relax and party! HAHAHA
I totally agree with her (Y)
Even though tons of CME homework suddenly crashed upon us
cos we didn't hand them in last term
Wang Laoshi is still nice heehee! :D

JAP TODAY WAS SUPER FUN TOO
I LOVE YEONG SENSEI =D!
Today we finally saw his true colours :O
He's so scheming he made us read this sentence for practice
”私は日本語が大好きだから、日本語の勉強をやめるつもりはありません。”
We indirectly promised him that we will never quit Jap :P

And sensei taught us French during Jap today leh
how cool is that ^^
He told us that every noun in French is either
masculine or feminine
For example the sun is Le Soleil and the moon is La Lune
so Jermia in French is La Jermia yayyy! :DD so smart :)
The most coolio thing is our sensei is multi-lingual :O
He not only knows how to speak Eng, Chi, Jap, French
quoted from him
he knows “いろいろな言葉" lehh woah~ (Y)

We volunteered/nominated teachers to be dunked
during class contact time today! :D :D
Spammed the whiteboard with a whole list of teachers' names
until it's like half-filled O.O
Mr Nigel Kaw is currently our most 'wanted' teacher
the number of stars beside his name
are more than that on our national flag ;)
The most epic thing was we were nominating enthu-ly
when Ms Chia HuiPing walked past our classroom
then our eyes widened HAHAHA you-know-what
-evil laughters- xDD

I really think Nanyang teachers are more approachable
they are like our friends~ ^^
A few teachers agreed to be dunked already yayyy!
Like Mr Lim Chow Hoon (the first to agree! :D) Mr RA Mr Tay Mr Chong Mr Tan BH, Mrs Wong and Mr Mac who hasn't confirmed yet but nvm! :):)

We are definitely going to pull more teachers to join in the fun yo~!

2011-06-24T16:34:00.003+08:00

New post New post! :DD
I did streets sales at Orchard on Tuesday
with Kaixuan, Weihui and Liyang :DD
It's fun pairing with Liyang cos she becomes really lame
when she's tired so she could play with me! ^^
At first she would remind me to 注意形象
but after that she began to do funny stuffs tgt with me hehe!!

Trends the 2 of us discovered when doing streets sales:
When people are not interested in donating, they wil
(a) Do the 'stop!' sign like a traffic policeman
(b) Walk fast fast
(c) Pretend not to hear you
(d) Nice people will stop and smile to you then say 'sorry' :)
(e) Say they will come back to you later

5 people said they would come back to us
but none of them did D:
I took time to rmb the people's faces leh :O
so that I could recognise them if they came back
Cheat my feelings!! D;

Ohhh yes
We saw a Mr Khoo-look-alike and
a Mr Tan BH-sound-alike! :):)
Both of them are very nice people (Y)
Mr Khoo-look-alike donated $10
and Mr Tan BH-sound-alike was super friendly :D
He has a daughter who was a Nanyang girl too! :)

I realise the two of us are very scheming people -winks- ;D
At first we noticed Caucasians didn't really donate
If I don't remember wrongly
only about 1 or 2 out of 10 Caucasians donated :O
Then! -EVIL LAUGHTER- xDD
We decided to target the children!
Initially we would ask them if they would like to donate
then if they walked away
we would immediately say
"or you can buy badges at __ dollars each!"

You have no idea how effective this sentence was (Y)

8-9 out of 10 people would stop and buy badges from us leh
We were so amazed :DD!
We were so amazing -nods-
Cos children like badges a lot :):)
When I was young I used to be like them too
But my popo threw away my badges collection -sobs- T.T

So yayyy!
I'm glad the two of us collected a lot of donations for Renci ^^

Streets sales is fun not only because
we can interact with people from all walks of life
It's like... when people donate
you can feel that although a lot of people say that 社会是黑暗的
love and warmth still exists :D
For example there was this guy
I think he's a security guard :)
When we asked him for donations
he was telling us that he's very poor
but in the end he still donated $2 ;D
It's people like him who make me feel that
这世界还是美丽的

I like that feeling :D :D :D

Yup that was our streets sales!

OHHH YESTERDAY WAS SUAY TO THE MAX xP
(Ranting alert! You're advised not to read this part of the blog post :D)
But I think you'll still read
Oh well~ :P

We were supposed to meet Mr Tay for
our IH Topical Presentation rehearsal at 8am
So I set my alarm clock to 6.15am
But I didn't hear it ringing until I woke up at 7.57am :X

After sending an sms of apologies to Kaixuan and Weihui
I was hesitating if I should go back to school
or go back to sleep
because it's supposed to end at 8.30am when Mr Tay's meeting starts
But I felt too guilty to sleep
I think I would have dreamt of Mr Tay
haunting me with a red colour pen in his Argentina shirt Dx

After that Weihui sent me an SMS asking me to go back to school
I went back to school
and went back to the school bus stop 5 minutes later -_-
白跑一趟 to the max D: D:
But yayyy! According to Shumin
Mr Tay seemed to not realise that Kaixuan and I were late ^^

OHHH SUAY INCIDENT NO.2
After that Weihui and I went to McDonald's for breakfast
We decided to buy the extra value breakfast or something
after auntie-ing over the cheap price
It's only when we ordered that we realised
the meal doesn't include a drink!
my milo (small) costs $2.45 leh omy心痛 T.T

(okay end of ranting :D)

After that we went to NTUC Fairprice extra
where we erm... -ahems-
fangirled over baby products :X
They are so cute I feel like enlarging them for myself ^^

Talking about babies reminds me of Mr Kaw!
He's married yayyy! ^^ 恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀~
I hope he's feeling blissful and happy in his marriage life
then he will give us highhigh marks for LA wheee!
Omydiao that's so lame .__.ll

I love my CCA mates just like how I love CGG x3
I like "What Are Words" by Chris Medina :):)

2011-06-13T04:16:00.004+08:00

After hours and hours of research
for IH assertion-based essay
and nearly getting blind (T.T) after reading
reports after reports
I would like to thank one person :)

Thank you, Emily Hannum

I love your research papers
on education in Gansu
and I will definitely acknowledge you in my bibliography :DD

Good night, everyone
I'm going to sleep nowww~
sweet dreams! ;D

2011-06-06T02:40:00.007+08:00

I must have been a goodgood girl recently :DD
There are so many happy things happening recently!
幸福，幸福! ^^
After 6 years of scrabbling
our team won the first-runner up in the plate category
in the Inter-School National Scrabble Championships! xD
And Kaixuan just told me
our Fudan buddy Shengting is coming to Singapore
for the SAP Seminar held in July at our school ;DDD!
YAY I AM SO HAPPY!!

Heehee okay let's get started
I shall talk about Weihui's love interest in Beijing first!
The first time Kaixuan and I saw him
was when we were on our way to the 商店 to buy mineral water
Then we saw this guy stroking a cat
even though I couldn't see how he looked like cos it was dark
I thought he's a really nice and gentle guy :)

Then when we came back
Weihui was jumping and hopping excitedly and enthusiastically
She held our hands and pointed at a room
which was a door away from Baoyi and her room
She exclaimed with a huge and wide grin
that the guy inside is super shuai
then I don't know how but we somehow figured out that
the guy Weihui was(is) crazy over was the guy we saw outside

Because the guy looked a lot like a Fudan guy called 内山翔太
whom Weihui liked last year during our Shanghai trip
she decided to call him 太帅 xDD!
I like this name because it has double meanings
AHAHAHA you can figure out the meanings yourself! :D

So from then on
a series of hilarious events happened ;D
Haoqing saw him and went gaga over him too ;D
The night before we came back to Singapore
Haoqing and Weihui wanted to knock on his door
to ask him to help us complete 调查问卷s *4 surveys leh!*
but of course that's an excuse la
the real purpose was really to take a last good look at him! :P

Kaixuan and I were 看好戏ing farfar away
I was tickled by both of them and was super amused
like they want to knock the door but don't dare to knock the door =/
so in the end I go help them knock the door lor!
I was farfar away so I couldn't see what happened
but according to reliable sources
when Taishuai saw Haoqing he looked bewildered
but when he saw Weihui he totally smiled! (Y)
Then he just 伸手ed knowing that they were there to give him surveys

About 20-30 minutes later he knocked on Weihui's door
to return them the completed surveys
After that they asked him to take a photo with all of us
he gave that bewildered and quizzical look again
the best part was (Y)
he asked, "是为了调查研究吗?" LOLOL!! xDD
His question too 有震撼力 I felt like I could fall off from my chair~

Weihui wants to produce a drama
depicting her love story with Taishuai (Y)
She decided that the drama will be named
坦克车之恋 a.k.a TS, I Love You
In the drama
Taishuai will be a soldier in the 解放军 LOLS! xD
It's fun to be Weihui's dorm mate
cos she's funny and hilarious HAHAHAHA! ^^
It's really amazing how she can make small little things
so amusing and interesting :D

Oh yes for your information
we do not know Taishuai's real name :O
that is like... Weihui and Kaixuan's biggest regret
and my 2nd biggest regret .__.
My biggest regret is that we didn't go to 欢乐谷!! T.T
HUANLEGUUUUUUU~ D; my roller coaster rideee~ D: D:

Yah so now let's proceed to
my great ambitions made at 长城下的公社! ^^

After visiting and 参观ing the reallyreally expensive
houses/resorts/architectures at the 长城下的公社
many resolve to become rich by becoming taitais
I mean wouldn't it be nice to marry a guy who's really rich
then you won't have to work
you just have to 翘脚 and spend your husband's money
drink bird's nest soup and go SPA everyday~
happyhappy then go 长城下的公社 for half a year's holiday
Life will be so 悠闲自在~
Wouldn't I want so much to become a rich taitai too~

No I wouldn't.

I don't want to become a taitai
much less a housewife :P
I want to 靠自己的实力 and earn my own keep
I don't want my husband to provide for me :P
My great ambition is to stay in one of the pretty houses
in 长城下的公社 (for 1 day 1 night only :X) using my own money :D
Then I will invite CGG for a high tea session HAHAHA! xD
Another dream/goal I have is
I'm going to hold my wedding at 长城 when I'm 25!
I know it sounds ridiculous but
nothing is impossible marh they always say~ :P

Heehee let's summarise
the main point is I won't want to become a taitai/housewife
I need to have a career
one that allows me to... interact with people and the society ^^

Oh yes! Talking about this reminds me of
Taishuai's definition of a successful life
which is something like to 结婚生子，成立一个幸福美满的家庭
super sweet :)

And before I end I have to share with all of you
this realisation I had just now
I am a womaniser :O

Yesterday I went to buy popcorn chicken from a bubbletea shop
then the auntie smiled non-stop at me
and gave me a lot more pop-corn chicken :DD
Then just now I cooked instant noodles for supper
normally my popo will scold/beat my siblings if they do that
but my popo not only did not do that to me
she ate the noodles I cooked happily
and praised me for my good instant noodles cooking skills :O
Woahhh~ o.o

Jermia: Hello Mr Tan! -smiles and waves enthusiastically-
Mr Tan: What are you doing here!
Jermia: O.O
Mr Tan: What are you doing here!
Jermia: ... flag-raising ma .__.
Mr Tan: What are you doing here! (x2)
Jermia: .......
Mr Tan: All of you gone for a few months ah!
Jermia: Err Mr Tan we only went for 1 month HAHAHA

As seen from the conversation above
Mr Tan Boon Hian gave me a super warm welcome back! xP
He must have missed us a lot during our absence
such that a month felt like a few months to him
awww D: D:

*zi zuo duo qing arh jermia of cos cos of weihui luh one of the few people who ans his question mah!!!!!~~~ with courtesy fr weihuiiiii*

Went back with Shumin and Xiuyi to MOELC
to visit Yeong sensei last Tuesday :):)
Yayyy he wasn't angry and didn't scold me 悪い学生 :P
He looked rather happy and surprised while exclaiming
"Jermia-san! Chotomatte Chotomatte"
After that he came back
and dumped a huge stack of holiday homework on me xO

Which reminds me
I have to do my e-learning soon :P

Doing CIP is nice and fun :DD
It allows us to play a part in helping the less fortunate
and at the same time
provides opportunities for us to...hmmm
gain a better understanding of our society? heehee :)
After doing streets-sales for the past 2 days
I realise Singaporeans are actually generally generous
Before this I thought Singaporeans donate coins very good liao
but after this I realised they donate $2 in average!
SGD$2 kayyy~

But of course there are some people who aren't
as willing to care and share but cannot blame them
cos erm... they might not have the financial abilities to do so
No the thing is some people were so cute and hilarious! xD
Like when they realised we were approaching them
we could totally feel the
"no! no! please don't come! don't come here please!" look in their eyes
Some people saw us and de-toured immediately...
But no we weren't unfriendly and gangstress-like
we smiled throughout kay :D

Just for Laughs xD :

No. 1
Weihui: Would you like to donate to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund?
Stranger 1: What?
Weihui: Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund :)
Stranger 1: Oh! Straits Times! Sure, I LOVEEEEE Straits Times! Don't you?

No. 2
Liyang, Chiaying, Jermia: Good afternoon sir! Would you like to donate?
Stranger 2: -donates- Is Nanyang still a girls' school?
Us: Yup! :D
Stranger 2: Oh I see. In my time, the guys, we used to chase after girls from Nanyang!
He said that in front of his daughter! Hahaha we felt super paiseh :P

No.3
Chiaying, Liyang and I approached a guy who was eating ice-cream
He rejected us.
A few minutes later
Shumin and Gennie approached him
but this time
he took out his wallet and donated! 爽快ly! x__x
We hypothesised that he's biased towards tan girls
Chiaying, Liyang and I are as fair as 白斩鸡s .__.
QB leh that guy xP

No.4
We learnt that 靠关系 is a sure win method -winks-
I saw my primary school classmate
He donated $1
We saw a bunch of Nanyang juniors decorating a cake in Breadtalk
They donated $2
-we waved the donation envelope behind the glass panel HAHA! xD-
After that we saw our 同志s from HC
They donated $5 each
Actually someone wanted to donate $2
but another guy snatched the note away from him
Hmmm~ :O

No.5
Jermia: Good afternoon sir! Would you like to donate?
Stranger 3: No, no, not today.
O.O?? Not today?

I still owe all of you a blogpost!
About Weihui's new love interest aka 太帅
as well as my great ambitions made at 长城下的公社! :DD

2011-04-16T17:40:00.008+08:00

6 more days to our Beijing trip! :DD
We have loads of stuffs to do before we leave
for example our BSP 论文 proposal, NYAA and for me
I need to hand in a 新闻稿 to Cao Laoshi like... ASAP :P
Does someone know anyone from Tennis? O.O
Can tell me please? Heehee :)
And we're going to be quite busy mugging next week
cos we have manymany quizzes too :O Esp on Wed
we have physics, biology and math quizzes all on that day

Oh yes since I'll be going to China soon...
for my stalkers' information (eg. Hilary and Brenda ^^)
I'll be using my hi.baidu.com account again in China!
Here's the URL:
www.hi.baidu.com/dontmissjermia
Yup don't miss me kay! -winks-

It has been a week since we changed our seating positions!
I hope everyone has gotten used to it
and is not facing any problem communicating with deskies etc :DD
Sitting beside Sinlie is muchmuchmuch better than I thought!
Eh don't be mistaken okay it's not as if I don't like her horh!
On the contrary I love her a lot :):)
I'm just a bit scared of the Judo Queen only .__.
Anw I realised Sinlie has a caring and motherly and nice side! ^^

Example 1
Recently our area de people kept kena-ing mosquito bites :(
Yesterday I was scratching scratching
then Sinlie asked Wenlili for a mosquito patch thingy
and placed it under my desk ;DD
Example 2
Whenever I don't understand stuffs taught in lessons
Sinlie won't mind me kachiawing her
and will explain them to me patiently and clearly
and make sure she explain until I understand =DD
SO NICE LEH SINLIE I LOVE SINLIE x3!

Minghui was not as noisy and talkative as I thought
HAHAHAHAHA! :X
She's very quiet during lessons leh! :DD
When she's quiet during lessons
it can only mean 2 things
number 1: She's paying 100% attention and is taking notes diligently
number 2: She's on the verge of sleeping

But Minghui won't be Minghui if she's not noisy!
Omg Minghui will start singing songs out-of-tunely and zi-high
once the teacher leaves the classroom xO!
Like yesterday
Haoqing and Minghui kept singing Rebecca Black's Friday
and then after school they started singing "Grenade"! x__x
It went something like this...

"I'll catch a grenade for Woonyee
Woonyee will catch a grenade for me
Woonyee will catch a grenade for Woonyee
The grenade explodes in front of Woonyee"
Omg laughed til I nearly rolled on the floor xD

But time to time I will miss Laokai's chocolates
when my stomach growls during lessons T.T

Yesterday Mr Khoo was so cool during the Cyber-wellness talk!
Even the speaker thinks so leh (Y)
The speaker asked Mr Khoo the reason why
he doesn't have a Facebook account
then Mr Khoo cool-y answered "many reasons" -claps- xDD!
aww I always hoped Mr Khoo has a hidden account or smt
then I tried to search and found "Khoo Kok Chee"
for a moment I suspected
it is Mr Khoo and Ms Chee's joint facebook account
but apparently it isn't D: D:

Anyway just now during nurture programme
HAHAHA those older kids were so funny! xDD
Cos the teacher was teaching them new words
then when she taught them the word "amputees"
she started talking about amputating the legs and hands etc
then the children shouted, "amputate the head!"
LOLS!!! ;DD

My brother just told me about this schoolmate of his
He was given a compo topic "Courage"
then this super sut student
submitted a blank piece of paper and wrote
"This is courage"
You may be thinking "woah he confirm mati
confirm go see principal kena demerit point"
But on the contrary
he scored very high marks for this compo :)

I don't know what you think about this
but I applaud the teacher for what he/she did
The teacher doesn't 死板死板 think that
in order for a person to score well
you must write longlong essays 3-4 pages long
This teacher encourages creative answers :DD

Some people may not be able to
explain and convey the meaning of courage
even if they write super long essays with loads of pages
but this guy here
with just a few words
left with his readers the "woah" impact and told us clearly in his own way what courage means to him
Aiya this is just what I think la
and I must admit that this is something I'll never dare to do x__x

Just a question to ponder about:
If you were the teacher, would you choose to fail him, or not?

On Saturday during CIP
I was late for 30 minutes cos I overslept :X
Popo went to China for a holiday
so my mummy was supposed to wake me up
But when I woke up
my mummy was still sleeping! xO
And somehow Samantha and I were made
to take care of the 5-7 year olds instead :):)
OMG we were totally tortured by them
like physically and mentally T.T

5-7 years old is the time...
when children will fight over stickers
cling onto you like you're some playground pole
pinch you when you're not paying attention to them (T.T)
like colouring more than doing ws on nouns and verbs
fight to sit on your lap (which made me laugh like mad xD)
somehow... little children seem to like 姐姐s a lot :DD

Anw the past whole week was really a busy and mugger one D:
All the "MUST STUDY!" subjects were on the past week
like Physics, Bio, Math and IH :O
I rmb seeing Mr James Tan after coming out of the library someday
then he was like... "JERMIA~ ARE YOU OKAYYY?" O.O
That question shocked me for a while
but being a quick-to-respond-to-unprecedented-situation girl
I told him I was okay! (Y)
After that when I walked away I thought to myself
like errr... do I look like I just escaped from woodbridge or smt? =/

ANW RIGHT THE POINT IS MR TAN WAS RIGHT
I wasn't okay at all you know!
Cos I forgot to take back my ez-link card from the library staff!
Then I took a free bus ride without me (and the bus uncle perhaps)
knowing it :X :X
Luckily no saman uncle/auntie check me
or else I dieee~ :P
SO 准 LEH MR TAN SO SCARY O.O

On April Fools' Day
408 tried to trick Mr Khoo but failed terribly cos Mr Khoo is too smart! ^^
We tried to trick him by saying that
the math lesson was swoped with chem
Then Mr Khoo said something like
"I have experienced many April Fools' Days in my life
If you can trick me
you're good (Y)!" MK somemore do the (Y) sigh lehhh :DD SO COOL!

Bio lessons were very fun and
less-stressed up compared to other lessons
cos Ms Chee showed us cute and cool videos! xDD
After the Happy Tree Friends thingo which was quite disturbing
she showed us this gorilla video which was ultra cool! (Y)
I was uber fascinated by the gorillaaa~ :DD
The gorilla 明明在那里 but we all didn't see it O.O
So the life lesson the video taught us is
we must not get so caught up with our busy-ness that
we overlook ~~gorillas~~ the beautiful things in our lives ^^
SO CHIM RIGHT ME -NODS-
After showing the video Ms Chee wished us a happy april fools'!
HAHAHA ;DD

On Friday (again)
while bus-ing with Ms Agnes See the bird
we were talking talking then suddenly the bus stopped O.O
Then I nearly rolled off the seat! Like really... roll (???)
Luckily Queen Agnes pulled me back or else
I would have knocked into some stranger guy
After that Agnes the bird and I laughed like mad! xDD

CONGRATS TO NYMD AND THEATRE CLUB FOR CLINCHING OUR FIRST 2 GOLD WITH HONOURS! (Y) JIAYOU TO OTHER PERFORMING ARTS PEOPLE! :DD GWH 是我们的!

2011-04-01T16:22:00.000+08:00

I realised Blogger doesn't allow copy and pasting O.O Anw Hilary asked me a question on Formspring! YAYYY ^^ So dear Hilary I'm here to answer your question on my first impression of you :):)

My first impression of you is this really amiable and friendly girl who always wear turtlenecks (during the Suzhou trip) A turtleneck girl who always smile a bright and pretty smile! =DD I remember it was very nice talking to you although I can't remember exactly what we talked about :P On many occasions I wanted to talk more with you then somehow we would kena separated D: Yup I think that's all... Sorry if you don't think my answer is... satisfying! Cos I don't really remember first impressions D:D: (And you know my memory isn't very good...)

To me, the present is more important than... first impressions :):) So aiya I shall shun4 bian4 tell you my present impression of you la! ;DD

Dear Hilary, I don't remember remembering you as a person who eats sooosoooo much during the Suzhou trip! :O I highly suspect that you were one of the few people who kept koping the deliciously yumyum chicken wings. Admit it hilary! HAHAHA :DD You eat until your bowl so clean then sometimes I feel guilty looking at my comparatively and relatively "fuller" bowl :O But yesyes eating a lot means you're healthy :) So 多吃多吃！

And you are really a very nice person to talk to! ^^ During morning assemblies and level assemblies, it's always very fun chatting with you about random stuffs and laughing with you when the speakers make mistakes and when ahemsahems falls asleep HEEHEE :DD And I like the fact that you seldom, if not never, gossip (Y) I don't know why I like non-gossipers when I myself am a gossiper -.-ll so ironic. So I must 多多向你学习! I feel honoured when you tell me... stuffs ;) And somehow I trust you in keeping secrets more than a lot of my seemingly closer friends =) Therefore, you're an important and trustworthy friend to me Hilary~ :):)

All in all, thanks for being such a nice-to-talk-to and great friend Laohil! x3 (and thanks for helping me salvage my cannot-leave-line-spacing problem ;DD Miraculously~)

2011-03-25T21:27:00.000+08:00

I shall do a quick summary of this week
before I resume mugging for block tests x__x

During one of the LA lessons this week
Mr Kaw revealed that he's about 2 decades older than us
Then somehow he started talking about white hair and
said that he won't dye it black and will let it remain white
like Mr Khoo!! :D :D
Mr Kaw: "Don't you think white hair is cool? Like Mr Khoo.
He's like a Zen Master" HAHAHA! XD
According to reliable sources
apparently many female teachers like Mr Khoo too! :P
OHOH KHOO QING Mr Khoo is too charming liao~

Today during Lit Pull-Out
Mr James Tan was sharing with us the story of King Oedipus
which storyline I'm unable to elaborate here cos it's too disturbing
Especially the part where some person described
how King Oedipus gorged out his eyeballs -ouchhh-
he must be veryvery guilty and heartbroken :(
But instead of gorging out his eyeballs
maybe he can like put on eye masks instead?
HAHAHA LAMEEE SUGGESTION~ :X
Anw while he was talking about Electra Complex or smt
Minghui was laughing like mad -.-ll
Poor Mr James Tan thought she's laughing at what he said
but she was actually laughing at my ez-link card photo .__.ll

I 当场爆笑 when I read the comments Yang Laoshi
gave me in the online progress report
She described me as 温文尔雅 leh HAHAHA xDD!
Actually I really was a 温文尔雅 student until I was in P5
when I learnt that the trashcan cover is a good defence weapon :X
It was necessary to protect myself in those tough times
when I had to take down names of playful students okay D;
Cos when I take down their names right
omg the boys will run after me and try to snatch my notebook
then I'll run to the nearest dustbin and take up the trashcan cover
then nobody dares to come near me liao HEEHEE! :DD
It feels nice to be called 温文尔雅 again :):)

Eyeball dissection was better than expected
I think it's cos I shared the eyeball with Callie Kwong
who gigggled and laughed with me as we attempted
(quite violently) to cut a hole in the pupil
The eyeball was so hard to cut and chop! xO
We were so violent we broke the lens
but we couldn't get the choroid out D:
After that Hilary and I ate hor fun for lunch
which was so delicious and filling
it's like one of the nicest food in the canteen! (Y)

Today's morning assembly was epic
cos the AV people couldn't play the national anthem
and the school song :O
So there was like silence for a minute or so? O.O
After that we decided to sing without the music
but nobody dared to start until Mr Chia sang loudly :DD
I think it's quite nice to sing together without the music
cos we can listen to our melodious voices more clearly

HAHAHA omg talking about melodious voices
while singing the school song
Mdm Heng's pitch was a bit high so we had to 调整 to match hers
then I heard somebody singing REALLYREALLY out of tune! xDD
I was wondering who that person was
until Wendi told me it's Kawrrect
cos his pitch was too low and he couldn't hit the high note
AHAHAHAHA!!! ;DD

A very thought-provoking and touching post
I read on renren.com recently

日本政府真是人性化的解释不能啊……地震避难，在街上渴了，三得利自动贩卖机免费；饿了，便利店免费；累了，大超市开放给你避难；寂寞了，公众电话免费；听不懂日语，电视台中文喊话教你怎么避难。

十年前第一次拿到SONY的随身听跟人显摆的时候，你不爱国，吃神户牛肉日本料理的，你没爱国，看着电脑里几个G的毛片撸管的时候，你也没爱国。现在人家地震了，你爱国了，你想起了侵华战争了，你惦记起靖国神社了，你说震的好——麻烦你别爱祖国，祖国为你感到丢人。

汶川地震，日本政府捐了5亿三千万日元，是除沙特外最多的。日本红十字会网上募捐超8000万日元，全国所有（是所有！）便利店都设置了捐款箱。索尼1亿日元，松下1000万人民币的捐款和物资，超出了对2005年美国南部飓风灾害的援助额。佳能1亿5000万円。日本派出的救援队也已抵达了四川。我们摸摸良心吧。

汶川地震时，许多日本年轻人自发在街头拿着标语为中国人民祈福，如今他们家乡地震了，民众是无辜的，中日政治上有分歧不代表我们可以冷眼相对。他们都懂这个道理，为什么我们不懂？爱心无关政治，为日本祈福。

一位同事本来也是对日本地震幸灾乐祸，但是看了我发的灾难视频后，总算没有把嘲弄的笑容挂在脸上了，有点坐立不安的说去查查日本红十字会的地址，看能否给人家捐款，当她百度搜索“日本红十字会”看到结果后，当场失声痛苦——全部都是日本红十字对中国的各种援助历史，都是她在国内媒体上不曾听闻的。

当莎朗斯通说汶川地震是“报应”的时候，中国人愤怒了，说她冷血，禽兽不如；当中国脑残祝贺日本大地震的时候，你们有没有考虑过受害者的感受呢？将心比心，别让人瞧不起好么？

别在这个时候幸灾乐祸，你有你表达情感的权利，我也有！但请别在这个时候表达；你有你痛恨日本的权利，我也恨！但请别在这个时刻痛恨；如果有一天中日开战，你拿起刀枪上战场我佩服你！如果有一天日本地震，你抬起担架去救人我同样佩服你！

为日本人民祈福
Humanitarian has no boundary.

God bless Japan.

Happy 71st birthday in advance popo! x3
Tomorrow is my popo's birthday
but I have no idea why my family decided
to celebrate it today in some Suatu/Suato restaurant .__.
Amelia told me it's not nice
hope that's not true :P
I still trust my aunts' and uncles' tastes

Anw just now Amelia and I went to get popo birthday presents!
Amelia bought her some oyster mee siam
The auntie gave us 2 oysters only leh! :( :(
Should have begged her to give us more~
Then I bought popo Panaflex! :DD
Cos she has been complaining of backaches and knee joint aches D:
Hahaha I felt so happy when I saw
popo smile when looking at the Panaflex thingo hehe ;DD

AHHH I still have some homework undone! D:
I just finished chionging my IH essay last night
It was so... brainpower-needing I could feel my hair dropping! T.T
Anw Elton saw my 满江红 IH GF essay
and was jealous that I have such a hardworking IH teacher HEHEHE
Even though Mr Tay's handwriting is a bit illegible sometimes
Although reading his comments is like... cracking some Da Vinci code
His comments are very useful in helping us to improve (Y)

Elton laughed at me cos I wrote in the essay
"When these water sources and crops are consumed by people,
chemical enter their bodies via their corneas and respiratory tubes..."
then Mr Tay's comment was
"They eat with their eyes + 2 lungs?"
.__.ll The feeling of being laughed at by my younger brother...
wasn't very nice =/
And if Ms Chee saw this I think she would faint too :O
I'm suddenly reminded of her "Hall of Fame" HAHAHA epic much! xDD

People who love/idolise/admire/respect/like Mr Khoo like Khoo Qing go join the "Mr Khoo fanclub :D" on Facebook kay! :):)
