tired.

tell me why my post count's so low. all the blogs i go to have the owners proudly announce that they're reaching the 1000th post soon, or something along that line. but i just crossed the halfway mark, like, 500 plus.

okay now i'm talking like an auntie. damn.

megan
THAT wish. haha. your house always got funny organisms one luh.
sebas
who's the she? this blog's like, oestrogen overload. haha.
weien
yeah, three days of consecutive early leave's over.
tracy
not as scary as our math and bio. dang, i loved bio in secondary school.

today was ep (emergency preparedness) day at hong kah north cc. which is near bukit gombak mrt station.

this is J's and my second ep day teaching cpr, and i guess we've sort of had enough. after dismissal today we made some great plans.

there were so many chinese speaking residents that i was, in J's words, in hot demand. at most of the time i'll be at the mannikin (not mannequin) wiping the mouth with alcohol, tearing face shields, carressing the hard rubber like it was my boyfriend though it's supposed to be female, and teaching people the whole procedure starting from checking for surrounding danger.

but most people who try out cpr just jump straight to the chest compressions and the kissing part. well, our cavemen instincts huh.

but i still like teaching children cpr. at least they are responsive enough. male adults who volunteer to try out cpr are, based on my meagre amount of experience, single and desperate. and highly unattractive. because, i think, eligible ones won't even attend ep day.

and the higher-ranked civil defence officer says my compressions are good. regular enough.

this time they didn't provide us food. and my famiy was away at the saf open house so i returned to an empty home like a latch key kid, grabbed a prune, ate leftover cake and went to sleep like some pig. then i woke up three hours later to watch tv and cook instant noodles.

leave me at home somemore, i'm really going to turn fat. and stupid.

hui gu niang

so. teachers' day celebrations are over. which means, september school holidays begin. which means, it's seriously time to start mugging. though i need to go to school on tues, wed and fri. oh yeah, and tmr and sunday too. sort of.

Cinderella
Tata Young
I Believe

When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed and she read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no-one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am Don't need nobody taking care of me

I will be there for him just as strong as he, will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no-one else
I'd rather rescue myself

I can slay, my own dragon
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

Like Cinderella
Old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no-one else
I'd rather rescue myself

deutsch pruefung 2008

german prelims are over!

this exam period for me was damn interesting.

the first paper was on tuesday, written. that morning, i went to the general office to get early leave forms. yes, plural, because i took three at one go. filled them all up, and got miss heng to acknowledge during lesson time.

at noon, the time i was supposed to leave for all three days, i walked out of math tutorial after many "bye"s, and went back to the general office to get the admin manager (am) to acknowledge my forms. yeah, getting away in jj's harder than getting away in nh. she looked at my three forms and was quite astonished. but she signed them anyway.

so i walked towards the gate, and showed the security guard my form. he looked at the form, then looked at me, and repeated the steps at least another four times. then he nodded and returned me the form.

and off i went to bishan. had to take a bus over to moelc cuz it was raining and the new footpath's damn long. the paper was okay luh, or so i thought. until herr psindler came in after everything. we asked what "vorstellbar" meant. because it was in our essay questions and was definitely one of the keywords. and i chose that question. yes, without exactly knowing what it asked for. because i almost completely couldn't understand the other question. turned out, nearly everbody misunderstood the qn. i think my guess was somewhat near.

next day, oral. so i walked out of the gate again, but this time it was a different guard uncle and he didn't look like he was interrogating me like the previous one did. got onto the bus, then onto the train. armed with my potato and pickled chye sim, because they were props i was using for my presentation.

just when the train reached bishan, it began pouring. so i had to take a bus again. when i reached the canteen of moelc, there were already quite a number of students there, and my classmates who were earlier than me announced that we were only allowed to bring in one cue card.

i had six. pieces of notepad paper.

so the frantic me called up herr spindler to confirmed. because i was the first candidate for my group and by that time my exam was less than half an hour away. he came down after a while, and gave us tips on how to hide our extra pieces of paper.

i stepped into the language lab, the familiar room of yesteryears. two years ago i was there for lessons and that was when i scored the worst in my whole life learning german. the teacher responsible, he's my oral examiner. herr neiser.

so i began my presentation about food in germany. first i was to talk about the importance of the potato in german cuisine, so i brought out my potato and asked, "do you know what this is?" in german, of course. he stared at the brown thing for a while, and exclaimed excitedly, "a kiwi!"

but after i told him no he took a second and harder glace and said correctly that it was a potato. i would think my oral's rather screwed because he didn't give me a chance to talk about food in the singapore context, and all the questions he was supposed to ask me, which apparently herr spindler briefed him on, he never asked. so the work done on the sg's part quite wasted. and thus was my pickled chye sim. general conversation was wonderful. he asked me for my age. and where i would like to go for uni. secondary one stuff man.

and today. my listening compre. frau anwar brought in the wrong cd. the instructions part was already quite weird, because what we heard wasn't exactly what's stated in our question booklet. and when the passage started plaing, it was about smoking, but our questions were about weather. so we raised our doubts and frau anwar was pretty taken aback by the mishap. because frau schraudolf, the setter of the paper, was on mc. she paused the track, fished out her phone and attempted calling another teacher for help. but there was something wrong with her phone, so she had to borrow becky's.

she asked the other teacher to fo relief herr spindler's invigilation (he was watching over the sec 4 written paper) so that he could bring the right cd down, since he's one of the teachers who set our paper.

he came down soon enough, and we carried on with our listening.

i was sms-ing beatrix before the exam, asking if she was coming, cuz i wanted to see her in uniform since i have never seen her in term time. yeah so our short exchange of messages before listening ended when i told her "see you!" we talked abit before she went to class, but didn't talk about the sms-es.

so after my listening ended and my classmates and i were done with preparing herr spindler's teachers' day gift, we headed over to his classroom where he'd usually be. even though he might be still invigilating. but we saw beartix talking to frau heng. yeah so we walked away to find him elsewhere. and i sms-ed beatrix to confirm if it was her talking to frau heng. after a while she replied and asked if i left alr. i said, no, still roaming around with classmates looking for our teacher. and she asked where i was, she'll come over and find me. he were at the staffroom then, so i told her just that. but we managed to get the gift onto herr spindler's table and so we left to the first storey. then we saw frau heng, which meant beatrix was dismissed. saw her walking up the stairs, towards the staffroom. i called out to her but she never responded, so i gave chase. then we started walking together but she was going it some weird direction so i asked where she was going.

she said, "staffroom. my classmate said she's there."

then i recalled seeing another stephanie on her class list, and told her i was the one who said i was at the staffroom. she got quite freaked out.

so yeah, a compliation of interesting things over the three-day period of my german h1 prelims. i hope it entertained you.

hidden.

so. tomorrow's the day that i have waited/worked throughout five years for.

the rehearsal for my ao levels german. aka prelims.

well herr spindler may be saying that it's just prelims and everything, but i guess this does put me into the promo mood.

i am sort of looking forward to promos. reminds me of exams in nh and how the gang would always go for lunch together after the paper.

yeah, and laugh at me when i had to sit for my chinese lit paper cuz they don't have to be in school that day. but i'd laugh at them when it's physics.

why could we manage so many subjects in secondary school, yet have to struggle with these measly few in jc? i'm always damn proud to say that i took ten subjects for o's. but for a's, i'm just any ordinary student with 3h2 and 1 h1. german doesn't even count in a's.

i shan't end this post on an emo note. even though i'm curently quite disturbed with the commotion going on at home.

wish me luck for tomorrow's paper! and wed's oral, and thurs' listening, and fri's content quiz.

one week later, we'll all be famished after the bbq at ms law's home.

[:

if you were deciding against getting the canon eos 1000d because it does't come with an included manual, please don't. click on the ad above, and you will see why.

it really comes with a manual, just that you'd prolly don't need it cuz the cam's user-friendly enough. the website says the manual's only just in case you need to prop up uneven table legs.

closing ceremony now. i think my german's a gone case.

cd?

sebas
erm. it's the quality, not quantity(:
weijie
jj didn't get outstanding achievement award for character development for nothing okay. not that i'm sayng hc's got no character luh.

thursday's content quiz freaked me out. now i've got to take it on friday after teachers' day celebration. thanks ms heng for being willing to arrange this slot of me(:

okay i screamed during L's class. he couldn't bloody find the "differentiate three mre times" in the bloody question.

W fell again, therefore she needs a wheelchair. it seems pretty bad luh, but she's really committed to her duties.

megan, your wish came true. i hope your study session with shannon was nice.

promo timetable was out today, and for the first time since sec one, cuz i can't exactly remember anything before that, i'm not having any papers on my birthday. and that day i don't even have school. it's a friday btw, in case you think i'm trying to be lame with my bday on a weekend. it's friday okay!

dad says study hard. so i can enjoy celebrating. not that seventeen's really significant or anything luh.

iphone. 62.5%.

vier.

oh wait. tomorrow's friday. and tomorrow's the 22nd.

sometimes insensitive people really do get on my nerves.

and i guess how i treat L has annoyed quite a number of people. sorry.

i am bloody not looking forward to saturday.

rubbish bins.

update on the latecomers' thingo, somebody told me they'll be transferred to pj.

i think it's just not right for anyone to treat any jc as inferior to another. although of course, hwa chong does produce better results as compared to jj. but i guess we still win in the character development part.

Everybody's Here
Electrico

I had a dream the other night inside my head
One of me that it seems I've always had
In the middle of nowhere dark and cold
I find myself all alone.
And everytime it seems like it never ends
I gotta find my way back to get me out of there

I had a dream the other night inside my head
The same old dream, but then instead
Of being alone in the middle of who knows where
I saw another man standing there
So I went up to his face and I turned and said
How can I be the only one inside this place?

Cos you don't know that everybody's here
Same old story time and time again
You just never turn around to look behind (you)

So I turned round and what (did) I see?
A line of people waiting around like me
"you're not alone" is what I mean
"or why would the line stretch to the sea?"
All of us adrift in an endless space
I'm not the only one inside this place

He said, "You on your own is what you see here
And it's hard to see it any other way
Now it's time to open up your eyes
Cos, you don't know that everybody's here
Same old story time and time again
You just never turned to look behind."

I'm not alone, it's not just me here
It's not (that) hard to reach out to find your way
Now it's time to open up your eyes.

20% more than human race.

12 km on the cycling machine today. i sense a muscle ache coming my way.

but i like muscle aches. makes me feel accomplished.

promos' in jj are like o's in nan hua. why did i stoop so low.

latecomers today were given damn special treatment. they were forced to sign transfer out forms. reason to be written as wanting a change of environment.

the bookshop auntie was damn funny. i by default spoke abit of chinese while talking to her, then she said, "you speak chinese very weird leh!" C was there too, and he replied, "is it? i was going to say she's quite good."

auntie: "yes, her chinese is quite powerful but her face give me the impression of a potato mah."

in case you don't know, potato's used to describe a person that's rather/very english inclined.

crimson as the blood of all mankind, yet white and pure and free.

those people just don't understand that we're just motivators, not organisers. i guess this is what you get when you execute a large-scale project that fails. and blog about the failure.

watched table tennis at the expense of my math and chem tutorial.

everybody was hoping for a gold, no?

so was china.

well i thought it'll be pretty cool to have majulah singapura play at the victory ceremony, but we'll just have to settle with our flag placed beside china's.

that's good enough anyway, considering we're such a small country with limited talents and our last medal was 48 years ago.

a silver medal too. but that was before independence. now the medal's rightfully singapore's.

i would think it was sort of an emotional struggle when li jia wei had to compete with her friend. maybe that's why she under-performed. but that's the price we pay for getting foreign talent.

which means, we need to bring out more sports school people soon. it'll be more meaningful for singapore-blood singaporeans to win medals for singapore.

huh.

shannon
yeah maybe you'll get divorced, with a bit of effort, that is. copying totally on purpose. you're supposed to separate the fouth fingers while making sure the postitions of the rest stay anyway. maybe that'll help abit. so you don't have to find a lawyer that soon.

today. is the sixteenth of august. damn. eleven days to german prelim oral. ten days to german prelim paper one. twelve days to german prelim paper two. fourteen days to chem o selection test.

one month and two days to promos.

even though bio's like, one of my best subjects for the 60%, i think that's the one i have to work alot on, after math of course. and econs actually. chem...must remember to do tutorials.

idk. jj has been quite nice to use written assignments and active participation and small small tests for our 60%s, but that leaves us with a hell load of stuff to study for promos, because it's just one test, clear cut and no way anyone can help us in anyway.

war at sebas' blog like it was at mine a few months back. only this time his includes circa 30000 people.

ring finger for a reason.

bowen forwarded an email that was rather interesting.

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold
them together - back to back

Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).

You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

somehow this weekend doesn't seem very appealing.

but on the bright side. after i clear promos, i have so much waiting for me. germany, chingay'09...(:

getai issues.

kengyang
okay. somebody got girlfriend without telling me.
botswana
what meh mean in african? sounds like goats bleating. singapore has goat farm. at lim chu kang. there got goats' milk, can feed hungry and malnourished african children too.

i think. we need to be more responsible for our actions. make a mistake, correct it ourselves. not just find a simple excuse (or not even bother to find any) and leave the scene of crime. to leave fellow team mates to clean up the mess we've created.

fion's phone's zero button's malfunctioning. and it's nokia, meaning the space button cannot be use. so her sms goes like this: "cdc.relay.tomorrow.have.cca.at.room.106.2pm.reply.when.received."
yeah you get the idea. the actual sms was longer.

promos begin on 18 sept. now why does that date sound so familiar?

extracts from content.

steph's been studying for her aq test okay. here're extracts from my content textbook.

"in a survey conducted with singles aged between 25 and 49, 6 in 10 men in sg have had multiple parters compared to 4 in 10 women. 3 in 10 men have one-night stands, while 1 in 10 women have done the same. 3 in 10 men paid for sex."

"men find cohabitation appealing with advantages like not changing legal status and going through troublesome traditional ceremonies, and yet having someone to share the expenses, do the laundry and enjoy sexual relations."

"unhappy couples in china can visit their local community centres and if both parties agree, a divorce will be issued in only 10 minutes, for as little as 10 yuan (S$2). "

"the afternoon hours are the peak time for juvenile crime."

i've been receiving multiple memorandums from botswana nowadays, adressed to uniquely singapore. chicken rice feeds hungry children, huh.

i'm glad that i passed all my 60%s. though i know not the exact figures for econs.

jj140 interview.

tracy
maybe i'll be. for three years or more. i actually thought of being an econs teacher in jj okay. not that my econs is top notch luh. haha.
anonymous
MEGAN!!!!!
kengyang
referral from your blog=people who come to my blog after clicking on my link on your blog. haha.
wei en
npnp! yeah okay. but that don't be stressed was for connect sg right. now i'm stresed over....prelims and promos. haha.
XD
fleas is that you? what's with the evil laughter.
jiabin
yeah, the whole of ite balestier was next to my 30 jj students for connect singapore. their councillors are quite good.

so finally i did jj140's interview with sebas. rather fun.

am ill. again.

i think there's hope for prelims/promos. just keep the computer away from my sight. especially before i look through/do my tutorials.

national day hols are over. work begins.

connect singapore

well yesterday we did manage to connect singapore. 30, 000 students from 53 schools held hands over a 20km route.

but the loody dj didn't say the pledge after she counted down.

the plan was to hold hands AND say the pledge, but after her counting down from ten, 91.3 began PLAYING COMMERCIALS.

okay so, no 30,000 people saying pledge together. so i made our people, cira twenty, say the pledge at some random i-decided time.

yangping was asking me not to be sad that the thing wasn't successful, but i seriously wasn't sad. it's already successful, since we really got people holding hands, and i tell you, walking a 2km route and seeing everybody holding hands is really a wonderful sight.

i got rather fed-up with the dj for a moment, because after she counted down and a commercial played, the radio went:

person one: WE, THE CITIZENS OF SINGAPORE... (and i thought it was the real pledge)
person two: hey why are you saying the pledge?
person one: oh! i'm rehearsing for connect singapore!

yeah.

but it was really nice seeing everybody in ri cheering and being high. and having jj lead two cheers. and us cheering like mad even though we had only thirty students. i think we were louder than the whole sec one cohort of ri.

and mr ho was super cute, he screamed like some very excited kid for us to take a picture at a wall of ri that had the pledge. and he was very excited at the route and kept snapping pictures. mr wee was very excited too.he carried the first aid kit like some professional. mr chan looked like che guevera.

i was pretty impressed with the ite councillors. how they carried themselves and seemed really professional. i don't think many councillors would be able to involve three schools to do the toa payoh wave with such enthusiasm. and the three schools are, mind you, 30 jj students, whole of ite balestier and whole of marymount primary.

and i thank mr ho for being so understanding. he actually told the students to forgive us for the screwup and sought their understanding that this is a major project and mistakes are a dime a dozen. but there were still students who forgot mr raymond's third rule, "don't let anyone spoil your day". i shared the rules with them before we departed from school.

mom called pizza delivery for lunch.

happy national day.

tomorrow's the day. NOT BEIJING OLYMPICS.

slightly more than 12 hours to connect sg. CAN YOU FEEL THE HEAT ALREADY.

okay i figured out nobody from jj connect sg will read my blog, so i'm going to let you in on something.

i couldn't find my route when i went to recee today.

yeah. i read the map sideways and upside down (and the right way of course) and i couldn't locate the stratch of road sector 12d's supposed to stand on.

go ahead, laugh. i thought i was pretty stupid too.

stephanie can't read maps anymore. four years of geog returned to three teachers.

mr raymond sent all leaders and motivators of connect sg an sms today. it says:

dear leaders and motivators. this is the defining moment. the largest
project all done by young people. it couldn't have happened without you. thank
you for being part of the team, we wish you all the best tomorrow as you lead
the 30, 000 youths and unite them as one people for singapore. let's win all the
teachers over with your professionalism, enthusiasm and can-do spirit. you have
done us proud.

i know we'll definitely make the news tomorrow, but darn, beijing's going to get all the limelight.

germany.

i was doing random thinking while walking home when i felt like i didn't want to go to germany. i mean like, all the money spent on the trip, it could bring the family much more benefits. like, our doors need changing cuz they're falling apart (it's cardboard inside, cheapo hdb-hired workers) and the curtains need replacing cuz the sun has worn them out.

but then of course, this is my last chance to do anything like that. and it'll be like a treat at the end of the year IF i get promoted. which i seriously hope i do. i don't want to spend three years in jj.

nuffnang results surprised me. i get the most referrals from lihuan's blog. like, 40 since the last month. 39 from liling's blog. 29 from kengyang's. and weird searches lead people to my blog. "08s22 jjc", "shorts under nan hua skirt", "ndp heartware ushers".

i thought i spotted a mistake in mr lawrence's ppt slides today, so i went to clarify with him after math lecture. he said i was right. then after that i went to the canteen to stare harder at that question, and realised he was right in the first place.

oh yeah. i should start on tutorials. don't leave any debts. i don't have the time to.

connect sg in two days. 44 hours in fact. rahhhhhh.

3000SGD okay!

annoymous
well you're just out to annoy us huh. with reference to the name you put, lol. i don't mind having a contact with the name annoymous in my phone you know. =D
shannon
yeah, makes me wonder if i'm indonesian or singaporean. you know, the same colours.

i lost track of time while doing owens national day deco. only when i saw my mum's sms beckoning me to be home did i realise it was near seven already.

tied alot alot of stars to the walkway shelter. five to each segment of the walkway, i shall count exactly how many altogether tomorrow. not to forget the five at the singa half of singapore at the gate.

thank you fellow owens house com ppl for appreciating my work. agnes was like, "you sit. rest. you deserve it." and zhiqiang treated me to ice peach tea.

and shawn saved a bird from the jaws of the evil jj feline. i saw the cat attacking the bird, but i decided to let it be because i thought like hidayah, "it's just life." but shawn thought otherwise. he noticed me staring at the cat (and the bird) then came down from the ladder and shooed the cat away (with much difficulty cuz i think the cat was pretty hungry) and finally removed the poor feathered friend from danger by gently putting it in suhyee's washed zapple cup. and brought it home i think.

while other fellow jj leaders attend rehearsal for investiture on wed, leaders' camp on thurs and fri, and finally investiture on friday's national day celebration, i'll be following my default plans. wed, cca. thurs, german. friday, CONNECT SG. jasper threatened to strike me off the leaders' list since i have to be absent for all three days. but you see, there's no point to go for wed and thurs if i can't make it on fri.

this morning mr koh announced that a china student left his wallet in the toilet outside the school hall. there was 3000 sgd in the wallet, transferred over by his parents as allowance for the boy and his two brothers for the next three months. when the boy realised his wallet was missing, he returned to the toilet to find his wallet with the money all gone. mr koh asked for whoever that has taken the money to return it, even if some has been spent. he said that if the person was really that hard up, he'll give a reward of $500. whether that's true or not, i don't know, but this has definitely changed my opinion of the prinicipal.

damn, $3000. that's prolly more than 15000rmb. i've never even seen that much money in cash before.

idk, why would anybody want to steal? by using that money, won't he feel guilty or anything? where did the conscience go? well yes i do admit i have stolen stuff, like stationery, from classmates when i was young and unlearned, but it does make me feel guilty, and therefore i stop doing it. and when my mum finds out that my brother brings home anything that doesn't belong to him, she'll make him throw it away.

stealing's the easy part. getting away with it, and getting over it, is the hard part.

grace said i changed ever since the june hols. she says i'm more understanding now.

i told her it must be cssp.

preview.

yang ping
hi SL!

preview was...okay luh. i think the spirit at kallang stadium was better. photos at my photo blog here.

yeah, the rsaf dark black knights heart formation too. i think there's more than five shots of how they formed it up.

because it was preview, the real big shots, i.e. president, senior minister etc., weren't present. however, the emcee person still had to continue reading his script, so after every announcement of the arrival of a big person, he would say, "simulated."

"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the arrival of our senior minister goh chok tong. simulated."

and some japalang white person steps out of the car.

by the third or fourth time that happened, everybody began to laugh once he said "simulated". and when the real goh arrived, some mp, everybody thought it was fake and hardly anybody stood up when he announced, "please rise for the arrival of our guest-of-honour, minister of parliament, ....."

heartware ushers weren't trained properly. when i enthu-ly went to ask one of them if she knew christina, she answered blatantly, "there are 400+ of us here." like i don't know. at least say, "sorry, i'm not sure who that is." and when we met christina upon being directed to our seats, the only thing she said was, "this way please, sir." being professional on the ground huh, lol.but of course there were a few who were super hyped up.

rmb the rules of mr raymond, people. smile. don't act like a pillar. don't let anyone spoil your day.

jasmine asked if i need another cm for sector 12d for connect sg. cuz she got two extra people. so a asked if guy or girl, then she replied, "1 guy 1 girl. you choose." lol. i took the guy. connect sg blog counts down, four days plus to connect sg. stress stress stress.

there was a time when people said that singpore won't make it
but we did.
there was a time when trouble seemed too much for us to take
but we did

we built a nation
strong and free
reaching out together
for peace and harmony

this is my country
this is my flag
this is my future
this is my life
this is my family
these are my friends
we are singapore, singaporeans

singapore our homeland
it's here that we belong
