A post of ephipanies.

The photo really contradicts what this blog post is about.

Okay, so hi.
I just had an epiphany.
I'm not intellectual.
I dont have the mental capacity to think of awesome thought up statuses that no one can fathom.
To think of it, if you wrote a book about me, I would just be a mundane protagonist.
Really.
Look at Nicole
.
Just read what she writes.
Its far more interesting than a story on drugs.
How typical is that?
Under that demure appearance is a really good writer.
I'm not even talking about composition type.
Groan, I dont even know whats the point of this post.
It sounded far better in my head.
Maybe I'm just a pusillanimous little girl who feels inferior to everyone.
-shrug-

My 101th post/JTC!

HELLO!
This is my 101th post!

HAHAHAHA.

Okay, anyway, time to blog about JTC.

Day 1 AKA Friday
I woke up at 7 and did last minute packing and then my dad sent me to school.

Had breakfast at Dover first.

We then had to fall in at the parade square

And align our bottles in squad formation.

I already had a pit feeling that the camp wasnt gonna be great.

After that, we had to pack our bunks in 10 minutes

Then we got scolding (as usual)

Then we had BAG INSPECTION!

Luckily i packed all i needed to pack. ;)

Then we had to surrender our phones/wallets.

We had to take a declaration oath thing that the people in the Army do!

It was so surreal.

"I, S9734595C, Private Gracia leong promise that i (...)"

A bit ridiculous.

The rest of the day passed in a blur.

It was tough crap though.

BUT! I passed my OA Bronze!
Its only theory but still! :DDDDD

I can proudly say now that I CAN PITCH A TENT!

The girls had to sleep on the first level of Indoor Sports Hall.

I shared a tent with Cheryl, Cherra, Ezra, Jamie and a few other Sec 2s.

It was really suffocating and HOT.
And we had a fire drill at 2AM.

And I was disorientated most of the time

We had to do it twice.

So frustrating.

Then we went back to sleep, couldnt really sleep after that.

Day 1 was almost hell.

Day 2

I woke up while it was still pitch dark and i groaned.

Went to the canteen to fall in and eat breakfast

Which was oh a piece of pancake.

Like those folded ones.

Just one.

Then we had to change into full uniform!

And we did 2 hours of consecutive drill.

It was fun!!! :D

We learnt some Silver drill too. :D

Then we had our Bronze Drill Theory.

You know, all of us FAILED!!

Then Ms Shamsiah scolded us pretty badly. ):

BUT then we passed!
HUZZAH!

We then had to change out of our Uniform.

While changing in the bathroom, we suddenly heard the TURNOUT whistle!!!

Which basically means you need to pack everything inside your haversack and RUN down

We ran down, but wasnt good enough.

We had to unpack our bag in 10secs, pack our bag in 10secs. etc.

Then the sir wasnt really happy, so we needed to run up and wear our FULL UNIFORM

in 5 mins!

Everyone ran down but none of us had the proper attire.

Got scolding again.

Poor Sec 3s.

):

After that we had Lunch!

I kinda forgot what happened after that

OH the drill retest.

Lastest till about 5.30p.m

Then we got to sleep in the dance studio for 15 mins!

Super nice.

:D

Then we played some games, quite hard but fun. :D

Had dinner.

Rest of the night passed quite quickly and we got some shut eye at 11p.m

Day 2 was worse than Day 1, i was expecting Day 3 to be miserable.

Day 3

Woke up at 5.30 and woke the rest of the girls up.

Was washing up when THE TURNOUT HAPPENED!

Freaked out and ran down with my haversack.

Hyperventilating? Oh yes.

Then he wasnt happy so we needed to run back and then run down again!

:O

But we made it in time to yeah. :D

Had breakfast, and in the end, we just needed to bring out ponchos! so shocking right.

Then we had the hike.

It was TOUGH but fun!

The mission was really eye-opening.

Then we had GAMES.

super fun!

We played really fun games and everyone bonded and had so much fun! HEHE.

Came back and then we had debrief at Learn@Fairfield

Everyone was SUPER high.

HAHA the sir was like, "We need to watch what we give you!"

Had debrief and it was mostly fun! :D

They gave out awards for Best Camper etc.

And surprised me got an award(Apples) for being very responsible in collecting forms, etc.

I didnt even know what was going on!

But i'm proud of myself. (:

overall Day 3 rocked. :D

So, JTC is over.

We all had crazy amounts of FUN.

AHHH, i love JTC!

And i learnt something from the Hike:

In Red Cross, unlike other UGs, we help others and in turn help ourselves. (:

Hello!

I just got home from Journalism Camp!

It was like, eh.

Not that fun.

A) We had to pay for ALL our meals

B) We got locked out of our own Computer Lab.

BUT we bonded through Bang and i now can say that i am GOOD at bang. (;

NCC(Land) also had their camp.

It was torture for the poor boys.

They had to like, uncountable amounts of push ups a DAY and A LOT of sit ups.

AND they even had training at 12am!

We could hear them.

Poor things.

Anyway, I am really apathetic about the Red Cross camp on Friday

I'm missing church, and thats the only part of which i am really angry about. D:

I dont wanna go, its gonna be hell-ish. ):

If i live to tell the tale, I will tell you alllll! :D

I know better

Hello!

I shall attempt to write.

"Alice clenched her fist, as the drugs began to peak. A smile of joy arrived on her face. But sedation changed to panic and nausea. Her breath started to shorten, her heartbeat pounding softer. She pounded her fist against her secluded room. "It was never supposed to turn out this way", she whispered to herself. Faint memories of a once serene life clouded her lifeless eyes.

She was a gratifying young girl. Daughter to a rich lawyer, or at least used to be. Named after the zany and peculiar Alice from Alice in Wonderland, Alice always knew she was destined for greater heights. However, it all came crashing down that one fateful day.

The sun was beating down on her father's watch, blinding his vision as he struggled to tell the time. Shoot, he mumbled, with a string of profanity following suit. He looked up and anger bubbled from within him. His rival, a lawyer from another company, was chatting up with his wealthy and important client. He sucked up his anger and a radiant and chirpy smile lit up his face as he dashed across the road, determined to give his rival a piece of his mind. But being precarious person, he did not notice the swerving cab coming his way. The pusillanimous driver turned sharply to the right, sending him flying to the side of the road. With blood gushing through his fancy business suit and a crowd forming around him, her father took his last breath.

As soon as the news hit home, Alice broke down into tears. "Daddy, daddy you promised, you promised that you would be at my wedding, my graduation. You, you can't be gone!" She screamed between outburst of tears. But as soon as the mourning was over, came the harsh reality. Apparently her family wasn't as rich as she thought. Her mother's spendthrift overseas trips and her father's horse betting proved to be too much. They were in deep in debt. It seemed like it was just salt to the big gaping wound.

Alas, all hope was not lost. Her mother bought a vacant stall at a famous hawker centre for an affordable price. Alice was devastated at the news. "What if my friends see me? I cannot be seen at such a place! I have already embarrassed myself with the whole debt crisis! Do you want to ruin my life?!", Alice screamed at her mother. It was the first time she was defiant, she was over her tipping point. Alice stormed to her room, gathering a few personal belongings and as much savings as she had. She put on her flats and ran out of the house, destined to escape the harsh reality that she was living in.

She turned to her 'friends', all of which snubbed her. Except one, she offered a job to her; selling drugs. Alice was both appalled and fearful, but she had no choice but to agree. It was her last resort, she had no other choice. The adrenaline rush of dealing drugs soon wore off. Alice needed something to pique her interest so she decided to try just one whiff of Heroine, a very popular drug. But as soon as she took a whiff, her mind wandered away and she felt her knees break under her. She was addicted, no different from another lost soul in the business.

Alice burst into uncontrollable laughter and her head fell backwards. She had a musty smell coming from her, her clothes were tattered and torn. She curled into a ball, giggling along to her hallucinations. She was helpless, she was trapped."

Take a sad song and make it better

I guess its over/

Why do i feel like a loser?

Sigh,

after seeing the pictures from Ya Min+Theodora+Tricia+Peace's 'outing' today,

i feel like such a loser.

Why don't i have anyone to go out with?

When the bell rings, everyone rushes out of school with their Cliques

and i'm the only loser who takes a secluded bus home.

Did i mention I was alone?

It was the same for Cross Country and CNY.

I mean, why does God do this to me?

Its like i'm surrounded by people, but none of them are my actual friends.

I want to cry, but I don't have the guts to do so.

Happy Holidays everyone.

What am I gonna do when the best of part of me was always you?

Heyhey.

Can you believe it?

School is out in 2 days!!

Tomorrow i have a journalism course from 8-6pm

SO, no need to go school!
MWAHAHA. :P

I really do NOT want to get back my report book.

I dont want to see those B3s. ):

And that ghastly C5 for geography.

Curse you Natural Vegetation test. )):

NEVER MIND, i will do better for history next semester!

Sigh, all i wanna do is EAT nowadays

Eat eat eat

One day i'll EXPLODE!

Don't leave me out here dancing alone!

HELLO!

Quick post, its late!

Thursday:

Nothing happened, just your average thursday.

Friday:

Got to pon PT for red cross because i had to go for journ!

AND WE PLAYED BANG!

Nicole supplied the cards.

We played the whole time and basically didnt do any work.

HEEEE.

Then i had to go for the red cross June Camp briefing.

OMG

its like TORTURE.

we hike, we camp outdoors,

we only have 5 minutes to bath and change and

we have to have 1.5 litres COKE BOTTLE

if not they'll SCOLD!

WHICH IS RIDICULOUS!!

*screams*

Today:

Had GAMES DAYYY

Alicia totally played just to get lollipops!

AND WE WON!!

wooo~

Birthday wishes.

Xin Yi:

HELLO! I know you stalk my blog so i hope you see this!

I REALLY LIKE YOUR GLASSES.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND I THINK ITS UBER COOL YOU COUNT THE NUMBER OF WISHES YOU GET!

HAHA! hope you see this. (:

Constance:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU SMILEY GIRL!

You've been an awesome SL and an awesome friend/councillor. (:

Your smile is really cute and radiant.

SO KEEP SMILING MS NEO! :D

(i would say more, but i really think i've said enough with the FB wall posting etc. ;) )

5 DAYS TO HOLIDAYS!! WOOO.

Maybe this time.

Hello!

Okay, i shall blog a FULL blog post now.

Monday:

It was world red cross day. ):

We had to fall in at the Sky Bridge, due to the unforeseen rain.

Devotion seemed EXTRA long that day, and the Dr Goh speech by Mr Owyong made me want to stomp over to the hall and cut off the mike!

We were at 'Sedia' position for half an hour!

Just standing there. ):

Pin Yao and this guy called Cun En both could not take it and left.

Then, after the Dr Goh speech, we FINALLY got keluar baris, and we could fall out!

Poor Andrew, just because he forgot his collar pin, he has to wear the FULL uniform on Friday!

Thats UG i guess. *shrug*

The rest of the day passed in a flash.

Fairsian Connect was really sad.

This old teacher was trying to talk to us on School Safety

But the sec 2s were so defiant, they would not keep quiet for even 5 minutes!
Finally, the old teacher gave up and ended Fairsian Connect at like, 2pm!

Poor man, he obviously skipped a lot of his slides.

I wonder what drives the Sec 2s to be so defiant. Hmm.

Tuesday:

I don't really remember much about tuesday,

nothing really exciting happened.

OH wait, i was at the school bus stop and these ITE boys(or should i say MEN?)

were smoking like they were oblivious to the other kids(Primary School) at the bus stop who were breathing their toxic air.

I mean, i personally cannot stand the smell of cigarette smoke.

It engulfs your lungs and you feel like your lungs are trapped in a cage and they sadistically hold the key.

You know what I mean?

Today:

HE was boring, but with Ya Min, nothing is boring! :P

The rest of the day passed pretty quickly(we get released at 1!)

After that, met Nicole to get my postcard! :P

THEN i went to IMM to buy Constance's present.

I realllyyy hope she likes it.

I'm officially broke by buying it! ):

7 days to the holidays! WOOO~

I remember those simple things, I remember till i cry.

Hey. (:
I'm currently writing the script for the UBD project, by myself!
Its so pissing!
But i finally finished it. (:
Hopefully we pass with flying colours for this stupid project.
grrr.

Anyway, monday is World Red Cross Day!
):
the WHOLE day, i need to wear my red cross uniform!
FULL UNIFORM!! ):
With the berret and everything!
):

You could say i still have deep resentment towards red cross. :)

Oh shut up.

Hello,

do you know what i cant stand?

TEEN LOVE.

"I love ue"

"I dun luv ue"

oh shut up!

That was Gracia. THIS is yamin. I'm making a guest appearance on the "blog".

Yes teenage love is horrible. Why don't you just get married already?

(Gracia) YES YA MIN THEY CAN GET MARRIED AND MOVE TO WISCONSON AND RAISE FARM ANIMALS THERE .

(Yamin) Yes, and have beautiful babies and call them "Jill" or "Jack".

(Gracia) arrggghh they should just get married and leave us non love sick folks alone. WE DONT NEED YOUR LOVE. TSK.

Imagine all the people, living life in peace

So true.

Helllo!
I'm super jealous of the Sec 3s who get to go for the Internationalization Trips.
While we, the insignificant sec 1s, have to stay in Singapore and go for boring Aesthetic Trips.
AHHH THE MADNESS!!!
The only good thing about W.H.E.E.L week is that I'm writing the article for the school magazine!Yay?

Anyway, i was reading Constance's blog archives(i dont stalk her, its just that no one else has interesting blog posts) just now.
She said that she learnt that not all Express students are angels.
its very true actually.
I know tons of express students who smoke and have piercings etc.
Freaky.

OH and i learnt today that i want my future hubby to have a cool name.
LIKE HUBERT! OR JOHNNY!
NO! Not john! Johnny! is that cool or WHAT?!
Maybe Luke, but then its like lukewarm and thats just icky.

Its the first kiss, its flawless, its really something, its FEARLESS!!

Agenda for tomorrow:
Write a brilliant and KICK ASS composition for English Test.
At least PASS chinese letter writing Test.
Don't frett over Science marks.
Study for BIG geog test which is BIG.

None can comprehend the surge of joy flowing in me at the moment BECAUSE..
NO RED CROSS ON FRIDAY!

I am a happy lady. :)

When we see you, we find strength to face the day!

My primary 4 art project-a dinosaur! awesome eh?;)

Hello! (:

Today was okay, kinda boring.

YELLOW! (:
Today was okay, better than last monday! :B
Recieved my math test results today. 23/25. ):
LOTS of people recieved 25/25 and BAM, im the only 23. ):
I got 15/20 for my chinese letter writing test.
Quite mediocre if you ask me.

anyway, apparently tricia and chuen wee are dating now or something.
very disturbing! we're barely 13 and you wanna date?
EH, i give them a month or two.
according to my handbook, its 32 days to the holidays!
weeeeeeee.

i wake up every evening with a big smile on my face

look! i found another photo!

HELLO!

since moving back to Jurong from Hougang, i've found A LOT of old baby photos of me!

I used to live in Jurong until i turned 3 then we moved to hougang but now im back in jurong!
hehehehe!

its actually MY birthday in the picture, but my sister was whining so much that my mom bought her a cake even though it was MY birthday.

how funny now that you think about it. (:

anyway, i had my RCY enrolment parade on friday.

it wasnt actually a parade, more of a we're-gonna-sit-in-the-auditorium-for-four-hours-while-you-freeze-your-butt-off.

they cancelled the parade due to lack of practice.

oh well, thats RCY!

it was kinda nice.

i look like a nurse in the uniform, and i have to wear a hairnet!

lunch lady much?

i had a similar parade on saturday, the HQ one.

i had to sit in a hall for four hours listening to an MC who couldnt pronounce a single word.

it came out as the epitome of bad pronounciation.

ouch, that poor girl.

i rushed to church after that, in my red cross uniform!

we packed the rest of the exam packs and i have 9 more to give out on monday!

hopefully the people i give to won't reject them and let me pray for them.

even if they rip up the card in front of me, at least i tried.

(:

OHOH, i fell down during 2.4 on friday.

I was actually running with Jieying to motivate her, since she failed the first time.

I was pushing her like crazy and then BAM, i fell down.

Now i have a big wound on my knee which really really hurts. ):

Oh, i achieved 40/60 for my english comprehension test!

Which in my opinion, is NOT good.

At all!

i also got 44/70 for chinese.

horrible huh.

I have an english formal letter writing test and a BIG geog test on friday.

EEEEEEEP!

Nothing can seperate us from his love!

hello.
sometimes i miss being in an all girls' school.
ya know, without all the vulgar/rowdy/obnoxious/repulsive boys in your class.
and, sometimes i DONT.
my best friend from Primary School told me today that shes in love with a girl from her class.
People who ask me why i came to Fairfield, now you know.



anyway, tomorrow i have a science test.
am i freaking out? quite possibly.

I'm content with loneliness

YELLOW! If you're wondering, just say Yellow a few times VERY fast and you'll get it. ;) I have a math test tomorrow, a HE test on wednesday. and a SCIENCE test on thursday. ouch. I'm kind of excited for Math because i kind of understand Linear Equations, kinda? i HAVE to get more than 20/25, its a must! and oh, i cant stand mondays, they are so boring and dry. D:

i think its a bit awkward and creepy when someone you DONT know is reading your blog. i mean like, if i've never seen you before, why the freak are you stalking me? i wouldverymuch like to go back to before, when only THREE people knew my blog existed.

off to study for math! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS.
kinda.

who said you're allow to bring a cloud to rain on my parade?

i know somewhere deep in my soul that love doesn't last

smile and the world smiles with you! :D

Heeeellloo.
First time i'm adding a picture into my blog post! isnt he cute?
*points to smiling sun*
anyway, today was terrible.
really terrible. ):
A) I stained my skirt AND my PE shorts, hence me panicking panicking PANICKING!!!
B) Dropped all my food on the floor while taking out my umbrella after Red Cross
C) Stepped into a black puddle and now my shoes are all black with dirt.
i know, major yuck):
but the good thing was...
I got praised by my seniors for my good drill!
MWAHAHA.
due to staining my PE shorts, i was short-less during Red Cross.
and i didnt 'bang' properly because i was afraid
but apparently, it was still good!
HAHAHA. HEEE.
i can march very well apparently. ^^
(i rock! :P)

ugh, i'm so glad its the weekend.
time for church! :)
i'm so sick of this week already.

My mom, sis and me! i am the cute girl in red striped jacket.

duh. ;)

life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter!

hello.
there is a thunderstorm brewing outside my window at the moment.
23rd floor, excellent view of lightning!
its seriously cool.

anyway,
today was draggy since its thursday and only on monday and thursdays does school end at.. 2.15pm
:(
i shall not reveal my terrible test marks since they're so terrible and all.
Oh and today i got hit on the ear with a rubber ball while walking outside of school.
*sniff*
the first time that happened, it was with a basketball.
man do balls hate me. ):

anyway more saddening news.
my investiture article isnt going to be included into the Fairsian times.
:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( x 10000000000000000000
does Mr Owyong not realise i spent A LOT of time on it? :(
and not to mention how excited i was.
urgh, i dont even want to go for Journalism tomorrow.
its just so sad.

in short, today was a cruddy day. ):

:(

47kg as of now.
:(
i need to stop eating so much.
D:

your true colours are beautiful like a rainbow

hello.
Chapelthon was on friday.
it was kinda good! :)
Red Cross(*groans*) ended late, so i had to binge on a bowl of: beehoon/fishball/someweirdcheesething in about 2 mins.
topped off with some diluted orange juice! :)
i ran into the hall just in time! :D
sat next to this very nice girl named Annabelle and she kept whispering to me
"I LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE THIS SONG"
HAHA.
Shes very cute. ^^
oh and i sat next to Constance too.
and my new friend Xin Hui! :)
Chapelthon involved a lot of singing..
and 90% of the time, i knew NONE of the songs!
Embarrassing much? *gushes*
Chapelthon ended at 10pm and then my dad picked me up and i zoomed home cause i was SOOO tired. :(

anyway,
theres been something bugging me.
i mean, i've never been obsessed with my weight or anything.
45kg is okay right?
WRONG!
constance is the same height as me (its just a weird coincidence, trust me)
and shes 40kg! :(
its just so sad.
i'm so heavy compared to her! :(
okay i'm not becoming anorexic if you're wondering.
its just, i'm so heavy.
*sigh*

its time to get over yourself.

2nd post. heee.
i just felt like saying this:
i should be happy that people visit my blog and read my prose right?
be happy gracia, people think you could be a good author!

an eloquent person?

helllooo.
school today was bleak.
i cant wait for Chapelthon tomorrow. HEEEEE(:

anyway, i think i have an unhealthy obsession with watching clouds drift by.
seriously.
i cant help but watch the luxuriant clouds float by.
they are just so magical! :)

i think i'm an eloquent person.
maybe a little on the capricous side?
hmm.

swallow your pride

hi
I dont have much to say.
My life is bleak.
and my mind is a blank canvas for now.

anyway, today i ran 2.4km!
(the real test)
its an enigma how i managed to finish in 16:05 minutes!
i feel really proud of myself.
*beams with pride*
my gosh, while running, the resplendent sun was shining at me and urrrghhh it was horrible.
i just hate running in general. :)

Hello world.

Happy good friday!
It sounds awkward, dontya think?
ANYWAY
theres no school today, which is kind of sad. :(
i kinda enjoy school! :)
I feel so much pressure right now.
Its like, people are scrutinizing my blog right now.
According to Constance, i have 5 adjectives in every sentence. D:
and according to Theodora, she will patronize my blog and she loves reading it.
AND Kelda says i write very well.
PRESSURE MUCH?
Constance wants my brain. AHAHA.
Its such a joy to have her around. (really!)

Anyway.
Yesterday i had my dental appointment with my Orthodontist
Apparently, my lower jaw is growing outward and my upper jaw is not growing well with the lower jaw.
SO, even though my teeth are straight, my jaws are not growing together
Which in simple terms, I'm going to have to go for surgery when im 17 and theres nothing i can do about it. :(
My whole body was trembling and my lip was quivering when i heard the news.

For the 3 people who read my blog,
you should know i have Cleft Lip/Cleft Palatte.
Hence I have to go for this jaw surgery.
Its saddening really.
*sigh*

We're all just victims of love

Hi!
I haven't updated in a long while!
I'm sorry, I haven't made an effort to make my prose interesting.
Hmm.
Anyway, things have been going okay.
Yesterday was not a fun day.
Art is so blargh.
TOMORROWWW, is cross country!
Awesome huh.
I'm meeting nicole early to scour Chinese Garden for good spots to take photos.
OHOH, I got an A2 for Science!
and an A1 for geog!
Isnt that great?
Haha, i dont really wanna say much
mainly because, i realise, most people dont say much in blog posts.
Its like, im the only one!
Holidays are coming up.
Icamp, class party and friends day!
I CANT WAIT! ;D

Perfect Thursday.

HI (:
I'm blogging now because tomorrow is Flag Day and I dont want to sleep yet. :)
Okay, lets see the overview of these 2 days.

Thursday
The SL(s) wrote a lot of stuff on the class white board and we all were shocked when we came to class!
Our(1f) SLs are really the best!
Anyway, the day was looking dry.
Then there was math.
Guess what?!
i got 23/25 for my math test!!!
Thats a 9 mark inprovement!!
2nd in class!!!
*screams*
THEN, during journalism, Mr Guo FINALLY let me into Friday's journ
But the sad thing is, it clashes with Red Cross.
So i can technically only attend for half an hour
BUT ALAS, i am still 'present'.
HEHE.
And guess what?
I'M TOTALLY COVERING THE STUDENT LEADER INVESTIGURE NEXT TUESDAY!!
ISNT THAT COOL??
Anddd, on Cross Country day...
I.DO.NOT.HAVE.TO.RUN!!
Woohoo
I'm on photo duty with Nicole.
She is really cool. :)
Anyway thursday was a PERFECT day.
Really really perfect. ((:

Today/Friday

Today..
We had MASS RUN!!
3 rounds!!
Oh my gosh, i swear i was having some sort of asthma attack.
It was dreadful.
Thankfully, no cross country for me. (((((((((((:
The rest of the day was bleak.
Journalism was fun. :DD
But only for half an hour.
Then i ran to the skybridge for Red Cross.
It was, bleak-er.
We wrapped a hamper.
It wasnt that exciting.
Then I got released at 5.30pm cause tomorrow is Flag Day.
But then, i decided to wait for Crystal.
1 hour, i spent 1 hour in the canteen doing homework/watching GB do drill.
Ahh, it was so mesmerising.
If only if only..
ANYWAY, then i saw the GB girls coming down.
So I frantically searched around for Crystal
but... NOTHING.
So i went home alone.
Today was a bleak day.
Tomorrow is Flag Day!
Yay..
5 hours on the street,
not so Yay.
I had a total rant planned out, but its getting late and tomorrow i have to wake up at 6.30.

EEK.

TESTS!

I typed out a long thing, and my internet browser closed by itself.
deleting everything. i am depressed now. hmph.

Home Econs!

Hihihihihhihi(:
Today was slightly better than yesterday!
Ya know, during Chapel,
NO ONE SINGS!!
At all!!
I swear!
Its, well, disappointing!
At least in CHIJ, people sang during mass!
well, maybe cause it was a primary school and all but still!
Its disappointing!
And the teacher is really pitiful.
She tries to make us all sing, but no one sings!!
I do, but no one else does!
andand, the songs that they sing arent that bad either!
they are actually songs i sing during Youth Service!
Yeah so i dont understand why PEOPLE DONT SING!

Had science, copied down notes on Antibiotics.
It was fun!
Then had recess, then uh, MATH TEST!
I know I already minised 2 marks, darn it.
But im confident about the rest.
the rest was easy. :D
Or at least I hope it was.
Then we had english, watched some clips on movies.
Interesting, but boring.
THEN we had Art.
Boy oh boy i hate art.
its just so BORING!!
After 5 dreadful periods of Art, we had EXCURSION!
It wasnt that great.
We just went to the place after an hour drive to Kranji,
then we watched a video, went around the place for half an hour, and then thats it!
We went home
ANOTHER 1 hour journey back!
it was so boring! *sigh*
Reached home at 6.10pm.
Took 198 home with Crystal and Shirley.
Crystal is too adorable!

Well, here i am.
Tomorrow, I have a Home Econs test
Yuck.
And tomorrow i have to submit my sandwich design.
I need to go find healthy recipes and stuff.
AHHH.
And on thursday, I have a science test!
Ms Chong said it was gonna be hard!!
Tomorrow i have to stay back and do the stupid science project.
which stinks.
And i have STILL haven't studied for the home econs test!!
3 chapters!
I'll probably have to memorise a lot of stuff.
*sigh*
Tomorrow i probably wont have time to study enough for science!
and i HAVE to get a good grade for science!
AHH so stressful!
But the upside is, tomorrow we are cooking curry chicken!
Yumyum.

Got the monday blues!

Hi! (:
Today was okay, not so good, not so bad.
Tomorrow I have a math test.
YAY I love math.
Prime numbers.. Hmm.
i've understood everything the teacher said SO FAR, so i think i am good.
Actually, today's lessons were DRY.
Very dry.
After school, i went to look for Crystal, found her at the canteen.
Decided to stay back with her to do our science project.
OH, before that, we had a very odd Fairsian Connect.
Very odd..
Oh and while queueing up to buy rice, i saw Angela, my sort of class counsilor.
She walks up and down the aisle with Constance every morning.
She is nice, strange and pimple conscious, but nice. :)
I saw her again while queueing up for drinks.
SHE CUT MY QUEUE!
And she calls herself a counsilor.
*mumbles under breath*
Angela : *taps me on the shoulder and smiles innocently* Hi Gracia!
Me : Hi.. Why are you standing here?
Angela: Can I stand behind you?
Me: Uh, okay.
Angela: Don't tell Constance okay? I am going to pass my investiger and become a councilor, THEN I WILL BOOK YOU FOR TOUCHING MY FACE.
But for now, i am going to break the rules, until i get my tie. :D
Me : *blinks in disbelief* Okay..
She is one strange kid.
Anyway, had lunch then we went to the library.
H1N1 projects are extremely stressful!
We spent about 2 hours doing 3 questions, super tiring!!
Oh and the Secondary 2 boys were playing around, cursing vulgar words and going on (wait for it..)
LOVECALCULATOR!
How lame is that?!
I stopped using that in like, P2!!
Who actually still uses that?!
*shrieks*
And they search the stupidest people.
It makes me ashamed to say that they are older than me!
Gosh.
And they curse very loud like sailors, its disgusting.
Repulsing.
Eek.
Do they NOT have ANY sense of class or social courtesy at ALL?!
Anyway, then Crystal and I met up with her sister, Jessica.
We then took 198 home.
I talked to Jessica about being a Counsilor(she is currently on Probation!)
Since no one actually reads my blog, i am proud to say,
I want to be a counsilor!
But, you need 5 friends to like 'vote' for you.
I don't consider myself popular or anything, so I have no idea.
I mean, i have no idea who would VOTE for me.
Really, I dont consider myself popular or anything.
Never was, probably never will be.
*shrugs shoulders*
I never was a prefect, I never got enough votes from my Primary School friends.
See what I mean?
Sigh.

COOL RANDOM FACT!
I just counted 9 months back from my birthday(1st October)
And.. I AM PROUD TO SAY I WAS CONCIEVED ON NEW YEAR!
Interesting huh?
Kind of gross, but interesting!

OHOH and i finally got a new decent book that doesnt contain the f word or R rated scenes or anything.
Its called "Born on a blue day"
Its a true story about this guy, he has a rare condition, only less than 1% of the world's population has it.
He can do fantastically complicated math problems in seconds, and its AMAZING!
Its so cool.
And its true story!
Way better than The Time Traveller's Wife *coughcough*
:)

If today was a fairytale

WEE!
This weekend was FUN.
Saturday
Had CHURCH!
I met Alicia and Sharonrose(yes that is how her name is spelled) at NTUC and Alicia bought some sweets. Ticktacks I believe..
Then we had Cell!
For once, we didn't have a claustrophobic cell room!
The cell room was HUGE!!
Anyway, had fun at cell!
I love my cell people. Hehe!
Then we went for kinda dinner.
We had 10 mins to eat, so we didnt exactly eat.
Then we had SERVICE!
Before SERVICE, my church friends came up to me and hugged me because i told them before that i was depressed over GB and red cross, and they hugged me tightly.
*cute awws*
Anyway, then service started.
It was so funny!
This African American guy from San Fransisco(is that how you spell it?) came to preach.
His sermon was so funny!
I was laughing till I was almost in tears.
The altar call was great too.
THEN, I had dinner with Alicia and Eva.
While i was kindly buying chicken chop for them(grilled, not fried),
they were looking through my phone and apparently, it is not appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your phone's wallpaper.
So they KINDLY decided to take a photo(Alicia, Eva and Jacquelyn) and put it as their wallpaper.
I dont think I am allowed to change the wallpaper.
But the picture is cute! :D
I love my cell.
Sunday AKA Today!
I woke up at 8.30am for who knows why reasons.
I fell asleep, woke up, fell asleep again until about 9.30.
Then i watched Golf with my dad(yeah thats right!) and then i changed and got ready to meet Rebecca at Clementi.
My dad sent us to Vivocity(THANK YOU DAD)!
Then Ya Min came, then we bought the tickets.
We had lunch at SUPERDOG!
And Ya Min kept telling me that cows cry before they get slaugtered and become beef.
Cause apparently, chilli cheese fries contain beef!
We shared sad animal stories then went up to GV to buy snacks for the movie.
We bought this monster truckload of popcorn and this other monster sized drink.
We were early for the movie, so we then proceeded to start throwing popcorn at each other?
Like first it was trying to enter each other's mouths, then we just went on to throwing at each other.
Ahhh, fun times.
Then the movie started.
Valentine's Day was weird.
There WAS a Gay Couple Alicia!
And there were complicated stories and it was just strange.
Taylor Swift was really really good though!
A 5,6,7,8!
Hahahaha.
I like the ending though.
It was bittersweet.
Ohohohoh i especially liked it when Jennifer Garner hit the pinata like crazy, and the indian couple were afraid and the husband put his arms round the head of his bride! Hilarious.
It was a TWO hour movie!
After that, we came out of the theatre feeling abit disorientated.
We went to Starbucks to get some stuff for Ya Min's sister.
It smelled like, Coffeeeee.
Yuck.
Then we took bus 166 from Vivo to Clementi MRT station.
It amazingly goes to Fairfield.
Hmmm.
Anyway, i took an MRT back to Jurong and here I am.

Test week is next week.
We have math test on tuesday, home econs and chinese on wednesday and a science test on Thurday.
A lot right?
*stress stress stress*
I am mostly worried for Home Econs and Science.
I'm afraid.
Very..
I have to do my geography homework.
Some worksheet, just that I dont know HOW TO.
Its so confusing!
People usually say that Sec 1 is the most relaxed time, can play the most.
I dont really think so.
I guess I am just not used to Secondary School yet I guess.
shrug.
I need to go do Geography worksheet now.
Learning on the different forests is weird.
I don't know what is going on 60% of the time!
And I got a 9/10 for the geog test
I may have spelled Antarctica wrongly, so i lost that 1 mark.
Yikes.
I'm excited for math though.
I love prime numbers.
*grins*

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

Hiheyhello!
Reader of my blog which I doubt anyone actually does but yeah.
Today was, alright.
School was fine, the english test was EASY!
I'm so excited to get back my ORCA book reports, and my English Compo test
Which by the way, we wrote who knows how many weeks ago. *shifty eyes*
Anyway, we had MASS RUN today!
Mr ng, oh mr ng, why do you torture us with THREE rounds?
By the first round, Ya Min and I were already dead and she said in between pants
"YOU CAN SO WRITE A COMPO ABOUT THIS!!"
I shall Ya Min, I shall.

You pant heavily.
Your lungs are burning.
Every part of your body is burning.
Just screaming inside of you to stop.
You ignore the burning sensation on your legs.
You can feel the pain inside, growing, kicking you, just dying to be stopped.
You want to scream, let out all the pain.
Oh my gosh, you mouth to yourself.
Mass Run, oh Mass Run, the bane of my existence.

That wasn't good. :/
Wait, it wasn't good at all.
Eeek.

Speaking of Ya Min, I am going to watch Valentine's Day with her and Rebecca on Sunday!
Our first outing !
-gasp-
And we are going Vivo!
Just so Ya Min can try Superdog.
Mmmm, superdog.
*mouth waters*

Anyway, i had Red Cross today.
Safe to say, it sucked.
Bad.
We did our Health Law today.
I had to learn the 12 Health Laws.
Wanna hear it?
1. Bathe everyday and wash your hands before and after meals and after visiting the toilet.
2. Brush your teeth every morning and night and rinse your mouth after each meal.
3. Regulary visit the Lavatory(the bathroom)
4. Have an upright posture when sitting or standing.
5. Our body needs fresh air and sunlight(SHOCKER!)
6. Exercise regulary for health and mantainence of an ideal weight.
7. Use hankerchief or tissue paper to cover nose or mouth when coughing or sneezing.
8. Do not spit(Wow..)
9. Have a balanced and varied diet for healthy growth.
10. Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day.
11. Have at least 8-10 hours of sleep and rest everyday.
12. Wear clean clothes and use clean personal articles.

YEAPP.
And accompanying that, we had to DESIGN a poster on one of the Health Laws.
Then we get our Health Law badge
Strange huh?!
And they made us run 2 rounds around the school, up and down the staircases.
YEAHH.
Andandand, TWENTY PUSH UPS!
It sucked.
A lot.
And GB got released at 5.30.
And us?! 6.30!
I reached home at 7.15 and safe to say, I collapsed on my bed and slept till 9.45.
Hehe!

Anyway, I realise, you know in Secondary School.
You are like 'required'(sort of) to wear low socks and to wear All Star school shoes?
I think its a bit, retarded?
I don't even understand WHY people want to wear low socks.
Like, they fold their socks, the front part.
They fold it till the socks are lower than their ankle.
Wayyyy lower.
Then they put on their All Star shoes.
:/
I find ankle socks VERYVERY uncomfortable!
And its very awkward.
Your ankles feel so -EXPOSED-
And I don't understand why other girls wear their skirts so SHORT!
Do they WANT to look cheap? (I know this is literal, but still)
Seriously.
Top it off with the ankle socks and everything, its just a bit, eeek.
When I walk on the fourth floor or the third floor after Home Econs, or Art, or Music,
You always see these types of people.
Usually I walk extra fast.
They scare me. :/
And their HAIR.
Their hair is like, flying everywhere?
With like fillers, like cockroaches!
Is it so hard to just COMB IT ALL THE WAY UP?
Like I do?
Its neater, and you don't have flying ninja hair all the time.
I don't even see whats so appealing about long fringes.
Its so, odd!
It just leaves your forehead oily and gives you ZITS.
-dundundunnnn-
I just don't get it.
Can someone kindly enlighten me?
*puzzled*

No one reads my blog.

BUT its okay(:
Today was horrible, due to unforseen circumstances.
Anyway, tomorrow I have Red Cross.
Goshh.
Ya min, do you know how lucky you are?
Ya min keeps complaining about GB!
Sigh.
Anyway, I really detest Journalism right now.
Its such a waste of time.
I want to get out of Red Cross next year(DUH) and maybe join a CCA that isnt on Friday?
So I can go for Friday's Journalism. (Which is the actual WRITING)
But its like, impossible.
Sigh, I might quit Journalism.
Its just so, BARREN!
I really will quit if I can't write.
Apparently, the only writing we do is for podcasting!?
Which is like a script, only worse.
Anyway my writing isn't THAT great, its so mediocre.
so conventional.
Nothing great.
*shrugs*
Anyway, i promise myself that tomorrow will be a better day.
And I WILL enjoy Red Cross with Samantha, Keziah and Andrew.
How can I be bored with THEM?!
Keziah can sing her Ashley Tisdale songs while Samantha can do her weird stuff and Andrew can be, Andrew. :P
Oooo, its going to be fun. :)
Must be positive! :D
But i'm seriously considering quiting Journalism.
Its just so useless, so FUTILE!!
I have to cool down.
*breathes*
Anyway, since no one reads my blog, it can be like, the place where I talk to myself.
Awesome.

I hate journalism.

OH MY GOSH.
i'm in journalism now.
its boring! AHHH.
We don't write like they promised.
WE, we do VIDEOS and MEDIA and all that non writing related things!
I WANT TO WRITE!!!
Friday's journalism is doing The Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition
And thursdays'?
VIDEO.
Why oh why am i in Red Cross?!!
If i wasnt in red cross, i could be in Journ on friday,
ACTUALLY WRITING.
My CCA(s) are all boring.
I've been sitting here for the past hour and a half, 'surfing the net'.
one gets bored of doing that after half an hour.
I dont ACTUALLY do anything!!
at all!!
Constance said that she was happy God put me in Journalism.
BUT I AM NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING.
Its so so so so so boring!!
All ANYONE does here is play the computer!
Its super super boring!
I hate my CCA(s)
I repeat, I HATE MY CCA(s)!!
Sighh.

Welcome to my life.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you

Happy day!

Hi there!
Today is a HAPPY DAY!
Actually, not really.
Well, lets see the good points and bad points of today.
Good:
School ended at 1!
I didn't get killed by Ms Chong for not filing.
I managed to file my file properly!
Today theres no homework!
Bad:
Today there was 5 periods of Home Econs THEORY!
It was sooooooooo boring.
Theres a home econs test. :(
Well, there are more good points than bad points so i guess today IS a happy day! :D

Ya know, thanks to Allinda, my Orientation shirt is SERIOUSLY OVERSIZED!!
I am wearing it now, and it covers my pants!
THATS HOW BIG IT IS!!
Crazy huh?!
but its comfy! :DD

I have to finish my ORCA Assignment today.
It is part of my OMA.
In case you dont know what OMA means, it stands for OTHER MODES OF ASSESMENT!
Ooops, does assesment have 2 's's?
Who knows..
Anyway, thanks to Constance for lending me Perfect Match.
I think i am annoying her.
She seemed super annoyed when i approached her just now.
Oh no..
BUT! An encouraging saying from Ya Min
"Even if the whole world hates you, I'll still be YOUR friend."
*cue major AWW*
Ya min really is a good friend! *sniffsniff*
OHOH and on Sunday we(Rebecca, Ya Min and I) are gonna watch Valentine's Day!
YAY! Can't wait.
Even though its TEST week next week!
EEP!
I have an english test tomorrow..
A zuo wen test/home econs test on wednesday.
and a science test on thursday!!
I'm not sure about Math though.
but so far, i am getting Math.
Prime Numbers are easy! (so far)

Yawn yawn, i want to sleep now.
I barely got any sleep last night.
couldnt sleep at ALL!
This morning was so hard, trying to keep my eyes open. :(
I'm going to briefly read through Perfect Match now, go do my ORCA assignment!
Sorry Constance, if i annoyed you or anything.

Lord I'm amazed by you, how you love me

My first attire check

Sweat trickles down everyone's faces as the scrawny, and tall Discipline teacher says the magic words
"Form teachers, please conduct the attire check"
The Councilors stand up almost immediately.
They walk with cautious eyes.
Down the line they go, doing a check on everyone's uniforms.
Unsuspecting people are chatting away, turning their backs to whisper to their friends.
You hear the disapproving grunts of the Fairsians as they stand up, rolling their eyes as they get checked by their teachers.
The once lovely councilors are now looking at your attire with strictness, with swiftness.
You dont dare to catch their gaze, you can't help but look down while they assess you.
Then, as soon as they started, they end their assessment.
They slowly but surely walk down the aisle again.
Checking the next student, and this goes on.
You can't help but give out a relieved sigh, you survived your first attire check.
You look around, looking at the girls with short skirts, long fringes being booked.
Their faces tell it all.
Shivers of fear run down your spine.
And soon, you hear the Discipline Master's sweet words.
"Attire check is over"
You shoot your friend behind you an-over-relieved look.
And as fast as it started, its time to go back to classes.
to resume lessons, as if it never happened.
As you walk cautiously back to class,
you cant help but stare at the boys being reprimanded for their long pants.
"Is it so hard not to alter them?"
You wonder, puzzled.
As lessons start, you take out your books, Math.
Prime Numbers.
And soon, the memories of that spine chilling attire check leave you
An insignificant recluse.

CHANGED EVERYTHING BOUT BLOG!

HEY!
I finalllyyy changed everything about my blog!
*pokes new link*
I DO LOVE CUPCAKES!
Anyway, quick update on school.

CCA: Yeah, I'm not in GB.
I'm in Journalism though.
Tomorrow, i'm gonna interview all the Sec 4 classes on CNY.

I'm in Red Cross now.
I tried appealing into GB, but it was unsuccessful. :(
Anyway, just have to accept the fact and move on I guess.
Special thanks to Crystal, Ya min and Constance.
For cheering me up when I was super down.
You all are getting chocolate cupcakes from me tomorrow!
:D
Yeapp! I'm baking tonight, first time I'm baking CHOCOLATE cupcakes!
YIPEE.
The sunset outside my window, its very awestruck-ish.
The colours are so beautiful.
One day, someone has to sleep over at my house.

The sunset is really majestic !
:)
Okay, i'm talking too much.
Tomorrow is CNY!
Going to malaysia tomorrow to visit my 6 baby cousins(im not exaggerating!!)

I feel so OLDDD.
Tomorrow, I hope 1F wins.

Sadly, I have to interview people tomorrow, so i cant stay to watch the judging. :(
Its okay! I know our class will fight and trash, CAUSE WE'LL ALWAYS BE THE BEST! :D
I'm talking wayyy too much.
To summarise it, Fairfield is so far, okay. Fun.
My studies are like, =/
My CCA is like half hearted.
My life now is alright. very average
:)
Loveeee,
Gracia.

PS: i dont know why, but i have to sign off with love gracia, maybe its the effect of posting on my class blog too often. HMM. :D

hey everyone!

woah i havent blogged for 23 days! OMG! :O
Anyway! im in fairfield now.
its okay i guess.
i mostly hang out with Rebecca and Ya Min(around them, i feel like the only singaporean! if you know them, you would know why!)
my class is alright.
1F! YAYY FOR 1F!
my class people are cool(well the girls are!)
i have to get used to boys though.

HEH, ego woman lah she.
but its alright! i've never been a leader before, its alright. heee. :D
i wanna be counselor one day!
it seems so fun!
but i doubt that will happen, i've never been a prefect before either!
so i doubt so.
hmm.
but i love school for now, just not the studying part!
geography bores me to DEATH
and math is making me all confused!
I HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION AGAIN
i think im going to change seats, so that i can be in the front, be more attentive!
im really not understanding math!
I HAVE TO BUCK UP NO MATTER WHAT!!
