I would have to rend my soul.

Rend-To rip/tear something apart violently.
Something so tragic happened today.
It wouldn't seem tragic unless you're in my shoes.
For being smarter than other people (not to sound proud or anything),I've had taken away from me what I wanted most.
Oh,why did it have to be English?!
I regret trying so hard for English last year.I don't know why.
I felt happy at that time knowing that I've reached a higher level of achievement but now I really don't know..I don't-
I don't know what to say.I know what I'm thinking of,but people would probably just laugh at me and call me an idiot for not wanting to do O'level English.I mean I know,who doesn't want to,right?
But really,it isn't very fun at all.
It's like having your favorite toy taken away from you.
Sigh.
I know that mom would want me to continue doing O'level English regardless of what I want just because she wants something to show off about.
She doesn't care about what I want.
Why on Earth do these people have to spoil it all? -Xiulin.

The only way to fly...

Is to fling yourself off the top of a tall building.You'll be flying for awhile.
Today wasn't very good.I mean all went well.Physics teacher went to USA for some Robotics competition so another Physics teacher took over.She's abit psychotic though.The class was really quiet but she made us stand because she said that we were very noisy -.-"
Anyway apart from the whole Physics thing,I pretty much enjoyed the 'lessons' part of my day,having art and all that.I did a masterpiece during art!
We were asked to do a self portrait using only one type of stroke.Man,I didn't know I could be so artistic!We have a new art teacher too,very weird.Abit like me,actually.
Anyway Choir wasn't so good today.Well it started off pretty well,we had to learn two new pieces.One's called "Dona Nobis Pacem",the other ,"Chinese Poems".Well the titles speak for themselves.
"Dona Nobis Pacem" is a nice decent piece,asking for peace.I don't really know what language it's in though.The other is in Chinese (duh!).
Both pieces that we've learnt today are for the tri-choir combined concert on Aug 30th.Oh man,its gonna sound sooo awesome!
I'm going to Malaysia,to my grandparents' house for Chinese New Year.That should give me plenty of time to learn and "polish" my new scores.At least I can't do anything else there,so I'm pretty much forced to look at my scores all day long.
Anyway,Ms Tham got angry with the choir today because the juniors were running around and screaming during breaktime.I was totally unaware of this until she started scolding us because I was in the toilet!She was like,"The sec 1s are so energetic,pity they can't have this much energy in their singing." Ouch.
Honestly,she's usually such a controlled person,it takes a lot for someone to make her angry,so what they have done must have been pretty bad.
There was a lot of talk/scolding after she left too.
Then,suddenly all the comm. members started crying.I mean come on,I don't find whats so saddening.I,for one,knew that I didn't do anything wrong.I paid full attention and everything!
Suddenly everyone became emotional and started crying and saying that they've let everybody down.Crazy.
That's just plain stupid.
So anyway after choir practice,I put my orange file back in my locker and chatted with the others while waiting for Lorna.She was at comm. meeting,obviously discussing what happened earlier.Man,the sec 1s really spoilt my day.It's not very nice to make other people upset,especially nice,respectable people like Ms Tham.
So anyway I came home and did my homework like a good girl,even art for the first time.I feel proud of myself,blah blah blah.
Having dinner now,blogging at the same time which of course,readers would know.Tired and irritated,but can't help it.
If those sec 1s continue being so childish,the choir is done for. -Xiulin

Come take my hand.

Take it.Maybe chop it off and preserve it or something.
Nah,I'm kidding.
Feeling worse than yesterday because obviously,yesterday was a better day.A miracle occured today.I did 3 Math worksheets all by myself and I didn't die!
I was probably hoping to.
I've still got a little bit of homework left to do.
I still stare openmouthed at Physics worksheets and stuff.
Biology is fine,Just Fine..It's only Physics.Sigh.
Other subjects are fine,even Math!No,actually Chinese is not very fine,although I handed in my Zuo Wen today!!!That's something that you don't often see.So the first week of school didn't go too badly.Could have been worse,but the teachers are always nice on the first week so there's no knowing what they'll be like.Stuff up their sleeve,like when my mom gives me money for no reason.Lol.
So today was like...I woke up early (as usual nowadays,but only on schooldays),I got to school on time even after having a filling breakfast!
Sang "Thank You,Lord" at Schoolsingers.Someone pushed-shoved me infront so I had the microphone in my face!!I think it was Jac Mok.It went well,I remembered everything although my voice sounded funny in the morning.
So after that I went back to the lockers and my class.First lesson was SS.We got some handout thingy that we're supposed to do as homework,I guess.I'll have to check that there's no SS tomorrow.Second period was...?Hold on,lemme think.
I really can't remember.I remember Mother Tongue after that though.Did essay writing "Zuo Wen".
I suffered a whole lot during that one...
Recess!EAT EAT EAT!
After eating-
English.Oh yeah I'm soooo unhappy about that today.We had to write an essay.
Personally,I thought that the Normal(A) question was even more difficult because it was more..I don't know.Something about making a mistake and having to apologise.It's difficult to write a good essay,from my point of view.
What the girls doing O'lev English got was more...complex?
Something about writing 2 times when you had fun as a young child.
It was easier to write nicely,but I had to think for some time.
We were only given 32 mins to write our composition,but the O'lev English girls started late but weren't given extra time.Unfair!!!
I didn't really have time to write much,and it was underwritten.I was supposed to write at least 300 words but only wrote around 250+.It was only about one time(they asked for 2) but I made it sound like 2.
Apart from all those "mistakes" I made,I thought it was a pretty decent essay.
Ah,good old days when we were still young children.
Look at all of us now -.-"
After English came CME.Had to discuss some stuff about group work with Ms Shanthi.It was hell,I tell you.See,we were all aching from PE the day before.I was aching pretty bad.I was in such an uncomfortable position and having to turn my body around,though I could only do it halfway and so my neck had to turn the rest.I almost died.My neck almost died,I should say.Now my neck is aching too.Oh,the pains of being an attentive student!
After CME was Physics,as you should know,is currently my most disliked subject.It was only one period though,and before the teacher came,I asked another teacher if I could go to the loo cos' I was really urgent.I ran.On the way I saw my Physics teacher -.-"
I didn't have time to stay and chat,not that I wanted to anyway.
I ran to the toilet and then back,and even though I ran and all that,it took up like 1/4 of the period already so I only had to sit through 3/4 of it.We were doing that worksheet,the one which I stared blankly at.Anyway I tried to follow and copy stuff off the board,and even that was too fast!When the bell rang I was soooo thankful.At least after-school hours weren't so bad because I met up with Joanne,Christine and some other girl (forgot whats her name but she's damn funny).We went to have chicken rice together,and when I told them I've never ordered chicken rice by myself before,they were shocked/amazed.Anyway,Joanne and Christine found strands of the guy's hair in their chicken rice,and made a complaint,after which getting a new plate of chicken rice without hairs.
We went to Popular bookshop after that,looking at files and stuff.I left early cos' it was time for me to go home anyway,so I did.I said my goodbyes and left.
I came home.I slept till 8pm.Man,I was so tired.It's been a long day. -Xiu =)

I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing...

Hi.
Yes,so I'm here,blogging again.
Yes,lets talk about my life.
Apart from the fact that I'm ALREADY lagging behind in my Physics class,I haven't finished my Physics homework that I really don't know how to do,my Math homework which I still haven't completed,my weakness in mapwork,being worried about having to do O'level English because I love my current English class so much,Dad being all crazy again,mom just lazing around,a small wound on my ankle(it looks kinda raw,I don't know how it got there),My life is pretty perfect at the moment.
I feel sad and all that,but somehow there's always something to keep us from springing off the top of a building.
What gets to me the most is my Physics.I feel so hopeless already!
Almost broke down during Physics the other day because I seriously couldn't get anything.It was like Sec 2 all over again,only now there's no more Ms Teow.
I can only sigh.
Something keeps me motivated enough to try.
Or..someone?
Anyway,I saw Mrs Tan in school today.She looked shorter because her skirt/trousers were pretty high.LOL.Oops =X Mrs Tan if you're reading,you just gotta know that there were a lot of comments on that!
Sigh,its getting late and I shall go finish my homework.It's not much,really.
So goodnight people! -Xiu =D

I'll be remembering you.

Yeah,whatever.
Life couldn't get any more worse than this,can it?
Two male teachers.Ick.
One used to live in Aus for a long time,has this slight accent.
The other is very...positive.I don't know but he's like,"if you don't know how to do a question,put there 'don't know YET'"
Everyone's like -.-"
But I guess its a change from grumpy female teachers yes?
We still have female teachers though.We have 2 new teachers.New,meaning they just came into the school.
At least I know I have the freedom to walk around in bookshops and eating ice-cream with friends.Sigh.Realise that the older you get,the more...boring you become.You start talking about more 'adult' topics.Damn,we grow up too fast.We get caught up with all sorts of things.Oh yeah.Met my new teacher today and she was like,"are you in ELDDS?Why aren't you in ELDDS?!"Hmm.I don't know,ELDDS seems boring because you can't really choose what to act out,you have to follow their boring story.It's not really dramatic like those professionals.Its so...I don't know.The props suck.The things they have to wear also kinda suck.Maybe I'm just not into that kinda thing.Ms Wong seems to have done EVERYTHING.She was asking about our CCAs and she was like "I used to play the trumpet in the band too" and "Oh I was a sop 1!".Sigh,its just...mixing with people of different age groups.Depends on what kind of a person you are.If you have this inner child thingy that always comes alive then maybe you should hang out with people younger than you.
If you're some boring person like me who likes deeper topics (omg ask Gervin,I think she almost died talking to me),then...Hmm.I'm not gonna hint or anything,don't want sis to come after me =X
Ah well,thats the first day of school.Homeroom system was so disorganised,even the teachers were messed up.What to do,Singaporeans all want to be modern,must copy other countries.Sigh.It makes us seem to..unoriginal,y'know.
Ah yes,choir again tomorrow.Ah,heaven! -Xiu =)

I'll watch as the cold winter melts into spring

Oh my god!
I have found a sure-cure for fever!
It may be difficult,but it works.
Here's it:
Get like...4-5 hours of sleep on one night,make sure the lack of sleep makes you feel really tired.The next day,go out or something.Make sure you use up your energy.Go home,don't fall asleep yet cos it won't work.
Stay up till night time around 10-10.30,then drop dead on your bed (after brushing whatsoever).SLEEP!
I slept at 10.30pm and only woke around 4pm the next day!
The night before (The day I lacked sleep),I took my temperature before going to bed,and it was like 38.2.
After I woke at 4pm,my temperature was 36.4!
Miraculous!
Tell everyone!
Now my teachers won't believe that I skipped that stupid packing thing because I was sick.Damn. -Xiu =)
