My fingers are not feeling well. Okay what the hell. My fingers are really not feeling well. They are in bad, bad shape. I am taking twice as long to type instead of my normal speed but thank God the fingers I've injure are from my right hand. My non-writing hand.
Because during the alumni game, I was caught by surprise and the vb was at it's maximum velocity. Venus was in front of me. She squat down and the ball came flying to me. At my fingers then a 'POP' sound was heard. Ouchhhhhh. Bet it'd take at least 3 weeks for it to recover fully :( how about my trials next wed!! And talking about the vb trials next wed, I'm totally freaked out. There's gonna be a Japanese vb player from my batch, and another Msian vballer who represents Msia. And girls from Hua Yi, and Jurong. It's so so so darn competitive but I'm gonna give it a shot. At most I'll stick to rugby!

Anyway school was boring. Business Accounting was crap. We learnt the same stuff as what I've learnt in secondary 3 so I was falling asleep. Thank God for classmates who kept offering me sweets to stay awake in lectures. If I continue eating sweets to stay awake in class, I am most positive that I'd get diabetes after my 3 years in TP. Computer System Application (CSA) is full of crap. But my tutor was really nice to let us use facebook in her lab!! So 3 hours of Microsoft excel could kill us. Then came another lecture on CSA.

Really enjoyed talking to Ms Teo and guess what! Ms Teo says that SHSS will be having another O level subject, which is, Physical Education!! Darn, why don't they offer PE as an O level subject when I was still in SHSS?! I've heard of VS people struggling with their PE subject but then again... it keeps me fit and I love running everywhere. Hmmm but there's a combintion of Physics, Chem and Bio. Saw the new textbook and some of the SHSS vballers are in the PE textbook!!

Anyway, pardon me! Am too lazy to upload my pictures simply because I'm not in the mood to do so. Blame my stubby wubby fingers. They're in pain :(

Today I got to meet Venus for breakfast! What a rare opportunity cos although we're in the same school, we hardly see each other. Tell me, why is it so hard to bump into people I'm really close with?

Stomach was growling shortly so I took a bite during my 10 mins break and didn't felt like eating during lunchtime. Then I was so hungry that, without much thinking, my hands reached into my bag's side pocket and I realized that I took out Skittles! Instead of saving them for my next lecture (so that I won't fall asleep), I ate them all up because I was really hungry. So there goes my Skittles! But I shared my Skittles joy with Fiona because I met her at the library, and so, eating less Skittles won't make my teeth drop! Waiting for time to pass by so I talked to Fiona's classmates. Think they're quite fun to be with too!

At 7, all of us gathered at Jurong Cafe to have dinner. Although I was exhausted, I really enjoyed myself because I love the company.

Kkk it's past 1 already and I have to wake up at 7 tomorrow! Then the next thing I know, I won't be back till 10pm :(
Hope my pain will be alleviated for tomorrow's games!!

Laselle students must be rejoicing over their term break now while I'm still trying to adapt to my supposingly new school ( because I've been to the sports complex and canteens countless of times since I was a Sec 1 kiddo) but finding classes was a challenge! K I think I know how to find my classrooms already but it takes me quite some time.

Anyway school was rather boring today because I had three hours break in between my lectures and tutorials. While trying to kill time during the three hours break, my classmates were rushing through tutorial 1's assignment while I beam with delight because I have already completed it. Burnt the midnight oil till 1 last night and only to wake up at 7 is a challenge. A real challenge. So like I was saying I did my work and I was beaming with pride... My beaming-with-pride-and-happiness smile turned into a frown when I couldn't find the assignments I've completed the night before and I REALIZED THAT I LEFT IT AT HOME. AT HOME!! I think I was too tired to notice that I did my work on a brand new stack of foolscap and I've forgotten to tear it out after doing my homework. Yes I cleverly left it at home. So were my brains.
Weather was such a turn off because I hate rainy days. Contrary to the fact that I hate the really sunny days with unbearable humid temperatures nowadays, I hate rainy days too because it dampens my mood. Especially so when I forgot to bring my already done assignment and I couldn't stop grumbling.
I don't get it... What's with the fluctuating temperature?!
But I still like the cloudy but yet sunny day. I hope that the dry months will soon be over!

Today during tutorial, my classmate called my name and I turned around.
'Eh Grace! To calculate the mole, we have to use Mass over MR right?'
'HUH? PARDON?!'
'How do you calculate moles? Mass over MR?'
'Uhhh yes use the triangle method to determine the three factors. Wait? Are we doing chemistry?!'
'No, I miss chemistry'

We talked about how our secondary school teachers taught us Elementary Math. Like the equation: x = -b+or- square root of, b square - 4ac, always over 2a
Told them my teacher taught us this equation using the 'Mary had a little lamb' tune. They then asked me to sing and I obliged because none of their teacher taught them the song to the equation! They laughed at me :(

Oh well. And after school Hui Wen, Cecilia and I went out and I bumped into Huixin!! Omg I really miss everyoneeeeee :(












I miss my old chums

It's past 1 in the morning and guess what am I doing!

I'm rushing through my tutorials. Because I keep forgetting I have homework :(
But school ended early today so I went home to take a nap. Had lunch at a nearby coffeeshop with my classmates cos the canteens were too crowded. Talking over lunch makes me know them better. But it was awkward. K me shall not go into details. Ask me but I'm not obliged to tell!
Blasted the air conditioner and the fan in my room because it was so so so so so humid. Then took a nice catnap and met Jas and Jolene after that. Jolene and I got out tanks already we're so happy!
Jo, how about another one? I don't mind!!

I'm praying hard. For just one thing. One thing.
I'm crossing my toes fingers and eyes and hope that my back would be better before the trials on this coming Wednesday.
Wouldn't care if my pinky or any other fingers get hurt because I have strappals to bind my clumsy stubby fingers but my back... sigh I can't be wearing my back brace for the trials on Wednesday! My flexibility and agility will be greatly affected. What if the coach doubts my ability? :(

GG Grace.
I left home without bringing my camera out with me so nooooo pictures. As usual I struggled to get myself out of bed. But this time, it was ten times harder. This time, I felt like a vegetable because I haven't been play vb for quite some time so I'm having really bad muscle aches everywhereeeeee. I didn't dare to move for half and hour. Was so ever reluctant to get out of bed. Guessed God gave me the strength to crawl out of bed. Washed up, met Venus and went to church. Yay to us because we were early birdies this time :)

Met Jolene. Am supposed to accompany her to get her stuff but I got them also. Can't resist not buying anything omg this is such. a bad habit.

Sorry to sidetrack a little but my classmates just told me that I have homework to do so I gotta rush through em later :(

After meeting Jolene, waited for quite some time for Jinlian went to CHIJMES to do a photoshoot. SO darn embarrassing lor. Felt so awkward because there were quite a number of passer-bys and they gave the 'what's-with-your-outfit,-make up, and hair' look. I gotta admit I looked really fierce!

Kkkk I gotta rush through my assignments already. Tsk tsk bad grace. It's only the first week of school and I forgot to do my homework! :(

(chukles)
hehehehe

I did not regret waking up early this morning at 8. Haven't played volleyball for the longest time ever. But thank God for today, if not I might just screw up my trials and hopes will be dashed just in just a matter of minutes. Wonder how the trials will be like, especially the never-ending names on the vb list scares me so there might be quite a number of experienced volleyballers. Then come wednesday evening, the coach will walk up and down the court, accessing our skills. Omg in such tense (?) situations I don't think I can perform well.
So today's games were kinda helping us get used to the balls again. A bit of training because we did a bit of spiking and stuff, guessed it took me some time to get back on my feet and play normally because like I've said I haven't played vb for the longest time. It's been 3 weeks already. 3 weeks. I think I still suck at everything. My trials. 90% CMI.

Felt pretty restless. But I fell asleep after I had my lunch. So today was all about vb, eat and sleep.
Tomorrow will be great!

I jolly well know I can't be having late nights. Especially when school has already started. I wake up the next morning heavy-headed. Changed to another set of clothes. Get ready for school. And leave home feeling lethargic. Thennnnnn, I get bored during lectures. But comm skills was fun todaaaay! I didn't know my male classmates are such bimbos! They were given a topic to discuss and we had to have a mini presentation. Their topic was about young people being slaves to fashion. Then they talked about branded goods and giving examples of branded names... (eg. Prada, Gucci, Chanel, LV, Giodarno)
The class burst into fits of laughter after 'Giodarno' was mentioned.

Am really happy to bump into old friends in school :)
Anyway I had three hours break in between so my classmates and I were like roaming around TP, then we decided to head to the library to watch a movie. Bought books which were darn heavy.
The minute I went home, I collapsed on the sofa. School is tiring :(

Now I know the true meaning to TGIF. Because for the past 5 to 6 months, my fridays were like any other weekends so this whole week was such a long week. I am so, very, tired.

Yup okay go have a good laugh at these pictures. AMAZINGLY I looked so tall!!

Like what one of the commercials on television which aims to promote family ties among members living in the same household, I am trying to cool down from what has happened just half an hour ago. Just then the most touching part of the commercial flashed in my mind. 'It's the little imperfections that make him/her perfect for you.'

Nooooo it's not just another sibling squabble.
It's about deciding what laptop I should get for school. Generally I've heard from many people that acer is undoubtedly 'godly' and powerful BUT it doesn't last! Yup I went to do my 'notebook' homework and came back home with my ideal notebook in mind already. Mom agreed, but told me to consult Dad so I did. Dad wanted me to get the acer. It's a lil cheaper, but it's chunky monkey and it's bloody heavy (Mind you, half a kg makes much difference!). And it crashed easily so why not a more durable one, right? After much discussion that almost led into a heated argument (I was too lazy to fend for myself and speak already so I kept quiet), and because it was already 11.30pm and I had to do my reseach for essays which is due tomorrow, (!!) Dad came to a verdict- acer, and only acer. No more.
Then for no ryhme or reason, I just teared. Maybe it was tears of anger, or whatever that is. Mom relented. She got me the Fujitsu, the one I wanted. Because I find it durable, light, slim and useful. Frankly speaking people in my course don't need such a powerful notebook simply because we don't deal with graphics. Nor designs.
Then Dad was so peeved. He kept disapproving of my choice. For a moment he kept scolding me for not choosing the notebook he chose for me and the next minute he can link them all up to my hair?!About not mantaining my hair?! Do you see the link?
Anywayz I feel so bad. I intend to save back some $$$ and return to my mom.

Let's not talk about this shall we. Unhappy things shortens my life.
On a lighter note, the girls in my class skipped lecture with me. It all started off as a joke because I told one of them that I'm too lazy to come back to school after the 4 hours break just to attend an one hour's introductory lecture on computer application systems. So they decided to skip lecture with me!! Can't believe it! Met Jas. She skipped school because she was very late for school. Bought rubber bands from Diva. While waiting for Jo, my classmate Ivan texted me saying that attendance was taken during lecture!! Which means I'm so dead so dead so very dead. Then Fiona called me to say that lecture was a waste of time because there was a fire drill. Thank God for Ivan, he took my attendance for me! Dinner at Eighteen Chefs was great! Time flies when I'm with them too and soon dinner was over, we took more pictures, and went on separate ways :(

Sigh, my hectic poly life is about to begin. Lectures. Tutorials. Homework. Projects. Volleyball. Rugby. Hmm what else.
