Today some came over to my place to study till like 1 and then I headed to VS. Haha yes, I was there. Apparently I felt like an alien there you know.
While waiting for a friend, I saw several primary school classmates whom I found familiar but didn't bother to take a second look because I was engrossed in reading my magazine until they came.

'Hey, Grace Woo right?'
'Yeah!'
'Long time no see!'

Met up my friend, had lunch and borrowed prelim papers.
Yay, happy day!

I didn't go parkway today but I'll be going there tomorrow!
Anyway school was so taxing today partly because of the superrrrrr hot and humid weather.
I ditched this evening's night study for the sake of this girl.
After which, we went for supperrrrr! Hehe I can't wait for my study date with her this wednesday again. I bet it'd be crazehhhhhhh!

Yaaay I'm gonna get my long awaited threadless tees tomorrow. Finally arrived after these long awaited three and a half weeks.
I was practically studying the whole day. I studied till 4am this morning and I couldn't wake up on time for church.
Then straight away after I woke up at 11 I started doing my work again until Nat and Gladys came over to study with me. We studied. I don't know why, today wasn't really productive even though we had quite a conducive environment except for a couple hanky pankying there HAHA
Exams are nearing in less than a month's time and I'm still roaming here and there. Like say, I'll be meeting my friend at parkway tomorrow to collect something from him. But it's for a good cause because I'm gonna get more papers from him to do. Aha.
Until now I have no idea on how to write my chinese composition that has been due for days. Helppppppppppppppppppppppppp.



The path's a mystery. Lead me.
I went for a dip in the pool not long ago and I'm feeling so ever refreshed, like it did rejuvenated my senses and I feel very awake :)
I finally got into the pool after six months. Look I'm so busy I don't even have the luxury to take a dip in the pool even it's just downstairsssssssss. Now that swimming makes me happy, I'm gonna swim veryyyy often and perhaps I'll drag someone with me.

Anywayyyy earlier this morning I met Gladys for breakfast at the interchange and then we headed for school after that. I got a really rude shock while almost got me hyperventilating. Was kinda in a state of shock and then it took me some time to get to my usual self. I was so tired that I rushed home to sleep and was late for math tuition. Next came physics tuition.

45 days to freedom baby.

My calculator broke down.
Now what?

Thursday, September 25, 2008

It's Thursday again and school's coming to an end in two weeks :(
I'm graduating.
I'm gonna be in A division. Things are going way faster than I thought.
I hope to get a good weekend hideout because I so need a break. I've been skipping school every now and then, and take the time to study at home! Holla, this is so much more effective. Hehe.
I feel kinda motivated because I surprise myself with so-much-better grades for my math mock paper. Teacher said I improved a lot and that made me so happy. On the other hand during Chinese lessons today, my teacher told me that I'm a innocent girl living in my own world. I burst out laughing because I so beg to differ HAHA




It's Friday morning already and it's nearing 1am. Study session with Lay Ping my primary school teammate and current opponent was dead fun. We kept laughing while doing our papers till 10pm. Shitz and I'm still rushing through my 4 Social Studies SEQ because the freaking deadline is todaaaaay. I cannot agitate a pregnant woman so I shall be a good girl and get focused. I still have another Chinese essay to complete before I get to school later. I so feel like pulling my hair out. But wait, no. I'll be long-hairless for the next four years if I'm bald now. Considering the fact that I'm awake and I have school laterrrrr (hmmm should I skip?)...
I feel so empty and light-headed now.
Probably I should take a nap now and wake up at 4am to continue my SEQs.
Nightttttt everyone!

Monday, September 22, 2008

My weekend wasn't really productive except for meeting up with Nat and Gladys for out little study session at the airport on Sunday afternoon, anddddd, watching Ms Swan on youtube. You guys should watch her shows and take a breather like what I'm doing for the past few days you know! But I feel guilty for not dedicating my time into studies for the past few days. Ms Swan's shows are really funnnnnnnnnyyyyy go watchhhhhhh!

Anyway I realized that there're a couple of Caucasian families moving into my neighbourhood and just as I predicted, it's not gonna be as peaceful as before. The Caucasian kids are so unfriendly and insensitive. The worst has yet to come when UWC is open for international kids right opposite my place in two years' time. Darnnnnnn.

And yes, nobody's at home now. PEACE. Meanwhile I should make my revision productive since it's so quiet and it's been long since I enjoy silence at home!
So byeeeeeeee

Sigh I'm so tired, so tired, so tired. I want to sleep because it's 6pm now but I have to go back to school for night study.
Study study study. Wait till 11 Nov. I'll take my revenge of having to study because revenge is sweet.




Sometimes I wish I can go into hiding but I don't know where.

When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Dont ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you dont ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess we'll cry come first of may.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.

Hi, this is a little too much for me to bear.
I'm getting piles and piles of homework and it's like I-can-complete complete but I-can't-complete kinda thing. I'm bombarded with so many worksheets and I force myself to do them before I retire for the night but sometimes I can't help sighing when I look at the mountainous piles of never-ending worksheets.
I did 3 Amath papers yesterday and I felt so accomplished. Today sucks. There's chinese compo, chinese worksheets, chinese, chinese, chinese. And teacher says she won't mark or go through the worksheets. What logic is this, what do we gain then?
I mush credit my hard work in my lower secondary days for getting me into 4G. There's so stiff a competition that I can't find any way to please myself academically. The downfall came about when I turned into a rebellious and playful but yet conscious minded girl last year. Too late, I think it's a little too late already. It's like the myth of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Right now I'm navigating my way, I know where to head and I'm in the midst of the journey, but I'm too lazy and a little less motivated to complete this journey. I know I'll get something out of it, prolly not a pot of gold, but it takes so much just for that little bit of improvement. 4 months from now, I imagine myself jumping with joy when I see my results but sometimes it's really easy to lose my focus somewhere.
Even till now, I still delve into my lilliputian world of comfort thinking that there is roughly 40 days or so, not until when I saw Bao's diary which roughly says there is about 30 days left. 10 days make great differences.
Today after school was comfort finger food with Gladys but I got a shock of my life instead of having the time of our lives chatting away when we finished up the food. People tend to get so bold now. And perhaps disrespectful.
I'm so tired. I skipped night study.
I have chinese compo, one whole big pile of chinese worksheets (You gotta see this, it's disturbing), 3 POA papers, 1 Chemistry paper, 1 Physics paper, 1 Social Studies paper to finish before I get to school tomorrow.
Bless me.
I'm so tired.


Tuesday, September 16, 2008

I still detest my brother no matter how much my friends tell me how bad their siblings are.
Mine's like totally hopeless. He swears in front of my parents that he won't use it anymore because his EOY starts two weeks later but as soon as I open the door, I saw him gaming like some addict. Like he'll dieeeeee without the computer. He still sucks big time. He starts yelling and omg, I don't want to talk about it anymore. That 15 year old childish shit, really. I can't stand it anymore. This explains why I'm not at home most of the time.

I'm really busy for the past few days, with school, tuition and night studies. I have been having splitting headache for a few days already but I don't intend to see a doctor even though I get free visits to the doctor. And that's because I hate eating medicine.
School was alright today, but it was really taxing. I wanted to skip school today because I wasn't really feeling well.
Not until I heard that JULIANNE CHUA'S GONNA BE MY NEIGHBOUR AGAIN!! Omg I can't wait can't wait can't wait. I could hardly contain the excitement. It's been two years since she has been my neighbour. Means I'll get to knock at her door and the middle of the night, crawl into her bedroom by her little garden or small balcony. Sheesh. This is gonna be so fun. What's more, I can go to school with her, AGAIN :)

It's 6pm now. I'm gonna take a shower and then sleeeeeeeep throughout the whole evening, till the next morning. That'd make it twelve hours straight. Yaaay I finally get sleep.
Bye!

Hi, you know what.
F you, Ken Woo.
I don't care if his classmates or whoever see this. He's a computer addict and a faggot. He can even bully his older sister like me for the sake of his very beloved computer games. Sometimes I wonder where did I go wrong. I dare say that I'm a good sister. So good that I'm even willing to splurge US$50 on his birthday present and this is what I got.
You act like you're an angel in front of mom and dad and start opening your books the moment you hear the door creaking, opening.
Back at home, you rush home after school and play the games for 6 damn hours, picking up calls and sprout vulgar words really loud at home when I'm doing my full swing revision preparing for the super major examinations unlike yours, which is peanuts.
You can even tell dad and mom you studied for the 6 whole hours. Well done. I hope you fail your End of year examinations and stop being a such a big liar. I hope you learn things the hard way and this seems like the best way out for you huh.
So now you know why my place isn't a conducive place to study and I always hang out.
Thanks to you, asshole.
You treat me like shit. Your sister, mind you.
I'm fuming mad.
I don't have a brother like him.

Friday, September 12, 2008

I was talking to one of my friends and he told he he'll be training for cross country sometime soon. Why on earth would a cross country be held somewhere near a major examination? Only after some time later I got to know that he took Physical Education for O levels.
OMG that is so cool. I knew it existed and if given a chance, I'll definitely take the subject and count it into my L1R5 and it'd make a huge difference to my grades don't cha think so! Running 3km in 11 minutes is a little tough but by training a little harder, shaving a minute off my personal best would get me an A1. What's more that's for a guy's standard, so the girl's standard is so much lower. Plus my school's perimeter is 950 metres, not 800 metres, mind you, because I went to check out the freaking street directory quite some time ago so we're running almost 2.9 km which is almost equivalent to the somewhat torturous 3 km. So much for running an extra 400 metres huhhhhhhh.

Put aside that.

School was really tiring today. My vision is not as good as before and I've been getting headaches for the past few days which leaves me a little heavy-headed and light-headed most of the time.
Today I finally had a decent lunch. I have not been eating breakfast and lunch but to keep myself awake by popping mints in the midst of lessons. Come dinnertime, I'm too tired to eat so I went to snack on biscuits.

I thought I could have a good sleep tonight but I just got to know that there's extra lessons for weak students like me. Ugh this is so irritating. My eyes are dry but I still have tons of homework to complete. Physics, Chemistry, Math, Amath, SS, Chinese.
Omg.

Cya.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BABYYYYYYYY

I'm very very very very very blessed to have you as my classmate and it's been nice knowing you for the past two years. School's gonna end in five weeks and I will miss doing retarded stuff with you like singing and dancing in the midst of the lesson and everyone starts staring at us. I believe school without you is boring because we're retarded partners that do retarded things. I'll also miss having you to sit in front of me because that's when we talk and talk and talk like never before. So dear, run your last lap well and we'll work hard together :)



First and foremost, I'd like to give credits to chicken essence and caffeine for pulling me through these torturous first four days of school. School is no fun, no fun at all. I'm deprived of entertainment. I don't watch telly anymore. I don't have time to blog either. School makes me a plain jane. Despite all these make me sound very desperate for some fun, I'm still determine to change myself into a graceful geek.
I've been crashing into remedials of which during Chemistry remedial, the teacher told us to get lost if our names are not in the list. But by then I was a little too lazy to move so I didnt. Just again I went crashing into SS remedial and teacher went: Grace, you're not supposed to be here, right!
Lacking of entertainment is fine, not only I'm mentally drained but I don't even get enough sleep. You can count the number of hours I sleep in one hand I swear.

I've been pretty psychotic these few days, if you must know. One of the instances was that during recess I went up to one of my classmates and said: HI MY MIDDLE NAME IS BLONDE. MY NAME IS BIM-BLONDE-BO
If you get it, well done :)

I've got so many things to update you guys on but I can't wait to catch my GG's episode two before I get back to studies.
So long!

Monday, September 8, 2008

I can't wait for my GG's episode twoooooooooooo, why is time passing by so slowly!?
On the contrary I wished time froze. First day of school was tiring especially when we're stuffed with papers, papers and more papers. Math was comforting, we did SQS's math paper and it was freaking easy as compared to my school prelims, and was told that the O's math papers is going to be that standard. We were relieved but we weren't complacent. I marked my paper and to my surprise 68/80 wow I must say.

I had my last and very last physical education lesson today. Most of us were told that there was a new timetable for the sec 4s so we weren't sure if we had pe. Borrowed a set of attire from my classmate and there you go, I went to play volleyball despite my serious injury but then again I wore my brace after that. Classmates are love, they corrected me and constantly reminded me to take care of my injury. They look like they're nursing my injury and worrying more than I do :)

Block lessons will commence from tomorrow onwards.
I'm tired.
Someday I'll sit by the poolside here and reflecttttttttttttttttttttttttt...


Sunday, September 7, 2008

I have sacrificed my family gathering at Jurong today because firstly it'd be time consuming and secondly I'd prefer to study at home all alone. I hardly have the house all to myself so I shall savour every moment of this. Was supposed to have my fringe trimmed but I don't know why am I still at home! Maybe just for this weekend, I'll just have to tone down a little and enjoy the Grace's version of home alone VII.
So for the past few hours I've been doing math papers. I get freaked out when I am stucked at some freaking basic trigonometry questions. I was on the verge of tears, or should I say I have already burst into tears. I'm so stressed. If I were to get stuck at a questions last time, I'd go: Ugh who cares, what are the probability of having the same question coming out in the exam!
Dad just called up an hour or so ago to asked me how's revision getting along. Previously I was already sobbing and when he called up, I tried giving my best normal voice instead of the trembling voice: Yeah I'm doing well.

All's different now.
Those were the good old carefree days. So much for being playful in the past.
Some day after the big one, I'll make sure I have a timetable called freedom which includes night cycling, clubbing with churchmates (HAHA I'M SERIOUS), Taiwan with teammates, Hong Kong with family omg and the list goes on.

I have to stop here. Back to Math.


Friday, September 5, 2008

I am so sad because the holidays are coming to an end. Well it isn't really a holiday for me but it signifies the intensity of the new term, knowing that we're one day nearer and a step closer to the big one.
I question myself, have I really, really done what am I supposed to do. I am only half satisfied to be honest.
I completed all my assignments, except English, by midweek and have been rather aimless ever since. I text my other school friends for Amath papers because I ran out of papers to do, and that's simply because I don't have a freaking Amath holiday assignment to do and that leaves me worried because it shows that I might not have manage my time well enough to spare an hour on so on Amath.
Freak.
School blues. Block periods. Leaving the teachers to stare at us while we stare at our paper on our desk. Especially when it comes to Math. Circle properties. I see circles. Like many circles.
Tell me how many circle properties question must I do to get me a Chanel. Even Chanel is made up of two three-quarter circles. Ugh.



I went to church this evening to help out in some preparations for tomorrow's fun fair. I hope I can make it but I doubt so :( Anyway other than washing grapes, cutting strawberries and stuffing marshmallows to satay sticks, I went to babysit one of my church mate's five months old daughter. I cannot stand the sight of baby crying and I lost my cool. I kept whining, covering my ears and gave the i-beg-you-please-don't-cry-anymore look but the baby won't stop I kinda gave up. I wonder how hard is it for a mother to bring up her children since they were born when I gave up after 15 minutes of desultory attempts of trying to shut the baby up. Someday I won't be a mother. When I see a nice clean volleyball, I'll stuff it up my shirt and act like I'm an expectant lady in front of my teammates and church mates, just like today. See how crazy I can get. It's way beyond imagination.

Dad just got three copies of Broader Perspective and I'm gonna soak my body and soul into the many latest controversial debates made very interesting for people of my age. Trust me, I'll neglect my studies for Broader Perspective.
I have decided to make a trip down to Supercut to have my fringe trimmed after church. I hope they won't screw up my previous fringe hairdo and make me look like I have bangs.
So bye, and TGIF. Enjoy your weekend :)

Thursday, September 4, 2008

I feel like puking ever since I was impatiently waiting for the doctor to tell me my scanning results. Hell no, I know what you are thinking. I'm not pregnant, don't worry!
I was so scared because the doctor kept shaking his head in dismay so I knew something was very wrong. I'm kinda banned from doing sports for the moment because I think I aggravated the injury ever since last Saturday.
Today was study session with classmates but I didn't do much. I feel guilty. But I had much fun munching gummybears with my classmates HAHA we went somewhere near the hospital's staff lounge and settled down which was an hour and a half before my appointment with the doctor yep.

On a lighter note, Dad and mom are going to subscribe Broader Perspective for me!! I am so proud to say I'm going to be a new owner of the whole collection of Broader Perspective. Ah finally something nice to indulge in during long bus rides :) Yaaaaaaay

Anywaaaaaaay Gossip Girl's Season Two Episode One is freaking scandalous. Omg the much awaited tv show is finally out and I was watching it last night in the wee hours of the morning. I was laughing so hard when Blair said something about Kleenex, used once and throw away :O
Can't wait for episode two yaaaaay!



Look, Teo's sucha sweetheart.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

I think I'm still fooling around and have not been getting really serious about studies. First official paper is in 47 more days and here I am letting go of a bit here and there, at every possible moment. You know, this sucks and sometimes procrastination creeps in without you even knowing, and worst of all I am not able to succumb temptations like the many sources of entertainment at home, playing volleyball with friends and eating chips when I hardly exercise now :(

It's only midweek and I'm feeling a little sucky. Perhaps I'm a little bit too broke. I blew up almost 300 bucks (which far exceeds my weekly allowance. Thank God I can still survive on savings.) on Threadless, outings and miscellaneous stuffs like expensive food. It's only the third day of the week, oh God.

Other factors that brought about my sucky mood was that having to wake up early and starting revision when I don't feel like doing it. I constantly remind myself, reap in tears and sow in joy. Thinking about my future puts me grinning like a happy lark but sometimes it's just hard to push on when there's little motivation. Maybe what pushes me is peer pressure because my classmates are the classic ones who cannot stop mugging.

Sigh I just came back from school.
Am leaving home again pretty soon and won't be back till 10.30. Freaking bus rides. Thunders :(
