i remember the time i was in primary 5 (i think) and i got slapped by a classmate..
i dun even remember what we were talking about but we were in the toilet after p.e. lesson, and this classmate (i never liked her, plus she likes bullying me, "treating me like a toy of hers", i remember describing her back then) was being a bi*** and she threatened to slap me and i was like "slap lar! slap lar!!" and she really slapped me and i started crying after that, and throughout the next lesson..
hmm i wonder why i cried..
probably couldnt help it, but i didnt expect myself to cry when i told her to slap me..
kinda makes me laugh how weird the whole situation was..
that particular classmate was even trying to console me afterwards as well..
cuz i was still sobbing, she was like,"eh shalyn dun cry la"..
wth lol!

ahh the happy days of primary sch..

i'd go to the library with Ruth and Su hiang and i'd do my maths homework (guai kia heh) and the other two would get the folk/fairy tales book and read..
we'd gather a whole stack and see which ones we'd read before..

i remember a real long time ago when my (then) little cousin ern dian got my 2nd bro a cool jurassic park car for his bdae, and one day i accidentally rolled it off the table..
and korkor was sooo angry, and i was soo scared, and he was shouting at me to get out of the room and i was on my butt on the floor crawling out..
i actually think i can feel that fear when he was shouting at me..
he slammed the door real loud when i got out as well, and i was crying i think..
man i feel bad..

hey those were nnice days too..
when we were all young and innocent (pretty much) and, as odie would put it, all happy happy joy joy..

okay i kinda find it weird how im talking about the "nice days" but only using the bad events..
well i think cuz i cant remember the real nice days..
sad isn't it?

was fun tho..
i would go around while odie stayed near the sides lol..
but it was pretty tiring.
made my foot n leg hurt!

if only there was an easy way out.. but i know there never is..
i'm gonna need lots f self discipline for this..

ytd i woke up with a bad nose block and then it started running..
and before i knew it i had a cold!!
or at least, i think its a cold..
nose keeps running.. is that a cold?
then the cold made me wooooozy n stuff..

then today i didnt wana wake up n go to school but what the heck..
and during lunch the fire alarm rang and we were made to walk all the way out to the field in the rain >_<
it was kinda stupid cuz i stood in the field for about, what, 3mins? and they all started walking back..
in the rain..
with a cold.
then we were chased out of the E/F block and asked to go to the hall for lunch!!
like, what the heck..
i dont like lunching in the hall..
its super noisy cuz of the ang moh girls and the guys playing with balls..

and im reading this book (non-fiction) called risk - the science and politics of fear..
so cool.. its sorta my type of book. makes u think..
it was just published this year too..
the prologue was talking bout how, bcuz of the september 11 incident, most everyone switched to driving cars and this caused a lot more ppl to die cuz of car accidents..

was my uncle's bdae today!!
we got berry cheesecake from "divine - made on earth, tastes like heaven" which, i think is a major overstatement..
like seriously=.=
its not that the cakes r bad but they cant really say it tastes like heaven..
i ate it and i was like..
oo okay.
wow that tasted so much like heaven!!
errh
excuse my sarcasm.

lol moving along, the cake was pretty sour cuz of the cheese..
not bad but not that great..
the biscuit layer a bit too thick and not that great texture..
hey its good criticism (or what do u call it? constructive criticism? LOL i dunno)!!
altho i know they people making it will never get to hear it..
i think the mango cheesecake caleb n i made tasted better muahahahah~!
so proud of that one..
altho i din cut the mango as nicely as those in cake shops..
but at least we had the jelly on top!!
and it was so much nicer than i thought it would be!
xD

mm but my cousins din seem to do much for their father tho..
which makes me think about why some children appreciate their parents more than others.
i mean, i noe its all abt upbringing and stuff but.... .....?
well one of them was talking on the phone, while the other one was reading and my aunt smacked the reading one's head and said "ur pa cutting cake leh" and she got all pissed..
and the one on the phone came and he was like "sing la...." (my aunt said sing bdae song lol) and he walks back a bit..
no bdae song,
no smiles and cheers..
its kinda sad..
i wish they could have at least shown a bit of.. what to say..
i feel bad for my uncle =/
ah wells......
i just feel the parents should be appreciated more..
i mean , u never know,
someone close to you suddenly goes POOF.
and he/she's gone..
like..
yeah
POOF..

lol..
i think the books i read influence the way i htink things for a while..
im reading this book called "looking for Alaska"
thats abt this guy who goes to boarding school to look for sth a dying poet called the "great perhaps"
and he met this girl who he liked and she dies and he tries to figure out why she left the room that night (she was drunk and his fren n him didnt stop her when she went hysterical and said she forgot and wanted to go [in her car]. yep she died in a car accident, drove straight into a police car without braking or swerving)
and whthr it was suicide or an accident..

he kept saying she was just gone..
like, POOF..
yep!
haha well im gonna read more..
tmr no sch cuz of sth they call a "teacher's only day"
poor teachers have to go to sch while we stay home..

today was kinda good cuz i didnt stop for quite a while (compared to other times).
must be the nightly routine of doing sit ups n stuffs in my room before sleep..
xD
but it wasn't much of a distance so oh wells ^^..

hmm i spoke to the international dept. admin person n
she told me i could get a refund (school fees) if i left end of this term..

been thinking sooooo much these few days..
about things..
and LOL sometimes i accidentally start thinking when teacher's teaching,
then i remember im supposed to b listening but i just missed out a chunk of info..
and i was like, damn i need to stop this..

today was like, a not-that-crazy crazy exercising day la..
second period was p.e. and we all were skipping.. to music.. which was cool heh..
but skipping is VERY tiring if u do it for long man...
first thing we had to do was warm up, then the first thing i could rmb us doing was doing a full four mins of skipping non stop,
then we had to do 2 mins non stop while counting the no. of times we trip..
i like, trip once then when i try to start again i just trip n trip n trip..
=.=|||
then we had to variate our ways of skipping, like one the jogging skip then skipping on one leg then going back to normal skipping..
after each activity we took our pulse to see who get into the "training lvl", above 140 beats per min.

sweated soo much..
then it was interval n i went out n it was sooper windy..
got cold within like, 5 mins f being out after being sooper hot..
i think it was the wind..
rainy today..

and in economics the teacher chose me for torture..
i was actually not so surprised cuz he has never chosen me b4..
basket gave me a new one for my first qn.
by the way torture is like, done evry start of lesson..
teacher RANDOMLY (i dont even think its random) chooses a student and he has to do three qns on econs of course..
on the com..
like, thers a com screen on evry bench tables in the classroom..
abt 6 or 8 benche tables..
each bench abt 3-4 ppl..
yep and u get points for them..
not sure what for... mm..
well not surprisingly, i got the first one wrong!!!
=.=
grrr..
the other two i did in 1min.

then had science test on metals n balancing eqns and erm those kinds of stuff..
its chemistry..
probably can get an excellence.. but will have to wait and see..
a lot of ppl can probbly get excellence..

then badminton!! (now u noe why its not-so-crazy crazy exercise day dont u??)
and i mean sch badminton..
played a bit with cousin n her fren for warm up then challenged a few ppl...
lost to all..
cuz i am not good in singles..
SIGH!
i am somewhere at the bottom of the table =/
i am sad..
while my fren, who just joined and hasnt played for a while,
got to the middle just by winning her other fren..
SIGH..
im sad..

and to top all of the sadness off,
i MISSS HOME!!!
i miss my life,
i miss my friends,
i actually miss the stresses of temasek secondary sch,
i miss ypm,
sunday services,
the bus rides evrywhere,
the occasional mrt rides,
the TEXTING! oh gosh i dont sms here at all!!
the jamming...
my home..
mcflurry (hahahahha~! yes i still love my mcflurry!!)

say, i wonder if i'll come back??
i do want to, but..
oh.. well....

and HEY that was the longest entry i've had in while!
if i sound different in any way (which i think i do)
its cuz im not feeling right!!
