Short post because I'm in a rush to pack my luggage for my trip on Sunday and I have 15mins before American Idol starts.
School was the same old stuff. We had a surprise Chemistry test though. No one expected to have a test. I was horrified. Only my 2nd lesson and I have a test already. Teacher gave us 10mins to read through stuff before the test start so I made the most out of it.
Exchanged papers with students after that to mark. My partner got like 4/18. Poor her. She was impressed with my score cause I got 17/18 and I was like NEW. Hahahahah. I could've gotten full marks if I weren't so blur to mistake Ag for Argon instead of Gold. Grrrrr.
Both training sessions today (morning and afternoon) were only 1hour long. Tmr we're training at Lloyd Esmore from 7.15am - 9am. Liz Tessa and I all haven't bought + packed our food + clothes yet and we were talking about how we should all go together to buy food. Hopefully we will (:
In the process of packing now. My room's in a whole lot of mess. When I get things organised by tmr I shall post pics. Ciao!
For morning training we just had 4 different sets of drills to work on: Fly, Back, Breast and Free. There were about 10 types of drills for each stroke, and we had to do 3 laps of each drill. Started with free, then back, followed by fly and finally, breast. Uhm I was 1/4 way through the breaststroke drills then I had to hop out because of school.
After tutor time I went to look for my Dean to tell her my options. She changed all my timetable according to my Year 11 subjects. Then I was informed that I had to start my new lessons TODAY. I was in horror, because I thought I'd only change class after I got back from Christchurch! D:
Anyway, THINGS DID NOT GO WELL TODAY. I'm learning Investigation: Human biology and beyong & Chemistry for this semester. Omfg I died for Human Bio lah! I was like totally lost in the class. What with all the Amino Acids + Glycerol + Maltose and all the other cheem science terms. Oh gosh I felt terrible! It was like I haven't studied in ages. Well actually I haven't BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
Then math. I was put into Advanced Math for Year 11 too, and that's really scary because my sister isn't even in Year 11 Advanced Math. I started out a bit lost in the class, because we were doing graphs & all the gradient thingos, but then I got back on track halfway, mainly because I've learnt the stuff in Singapore already. Just haven't used them in a long while, that's all. I made sure I understood everything that was taught in class by reading my math textbook during recess. It sure helped, to my surprise (:
Chemistry! Hahaha it wasn't so bad. Anyway I survived half a year of Chemistry with Mr Lau in RG so I obviously survived here too. We're learning Ionic and Covalent Bonding -.- (RG people, this definitely sounds familiar to you :D) so I could keep up. Only problem was I forgot all my elements on the Periodic Table so I had to keep referring to it when I did my homework at home (which was not long ago). Heh other than that it was okay.
English we were in the library reading books so nothing much :P
Geography! Uhm pretty interesting stuff. VERY different from Singapore. Cause we're learning stuff that's happening in NZ. We're supposed to have an assessment next week but I'll be away so I'm giving it a miss. Yay! We're learning about wind power now and there's a debate going on about whether they should build a wind power farm in Wellington.
Hmm that's all for today I think. Tmr I will be having all my subjects. Human Bio, Geog, English, Math, Chem & History. I'm not sure how History will be like, since I didn't have it today. I think I'll be able to cope with Year 11 if I work as hard as I did in Singapore. That won't be too bad, I guess. Skipping a year of school certainly is worth it.
Nevertheless, I'm so sad that I'm not with my Year 10 friends anymore. Oh well I still spend recesses + lunches with them so I'm okay (:
Friday's tmr, which means I'll be packing for Nationals! :D Shopping for snacks and whatnot on Saturday, and take off on Sunday!
I walked to school today. Yes, can you believe it. I WALKED. Dad couldn't fetch me to school because we had late start at 9.20am, and he had something on at 8.30am. Stupid late starts gyah! I swear, I have never walked further in my entire life. I think it was even further than walking from Plaza Sing to Suntec which I did a couple of years back (with my darling Aliciatan and Amandayim). Ohman I never want to walk to school again. It took me 40mins to walk. Imagine how far it was.
I finally made up my mind about my Year 11 options. I have to have 6 subjects. English and Math are compulsory, so that makes it 2. Then I'm taking Advancing Science which is made up of Biology, Chemistry, Investigating Human Biology and Beyond and Physics. That's 4 sciences, but I'm studying 2 sciences in each of the half year semesters so that's 2 subjects. So far I have 4. There were still 2 more subjects I have to choose.
My options were: Drama, Music, Photography, Visual Art, Writing for Publication, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Te Reo Maori, Te Reo Rangatira, Accounting, Economics, Geography, History, Computer Studies, Design Technology, Food Technology, Graphics, Information Management, Practical Hospitality, Textiles and Design, Learning Skills.
I could choose those in BOLD, since they didn't require any prerequisites.. My options came down to 5: Graphics, Design Tech, Food Tech, Geog, History.
I wanted very much to take Graphics again, but Year 10 Graphics was recommended, so it wouldn't be very good if I joined it in Year 11. That's out.
Graphics, Design Tech, Food Tech, Geog, History.
I wanted something that would help in my future career (Dentistry, Law, Medicine, Physiotherapy, Pilot, Veterinary Science etc.) and since neither of my goal careers had anything to do with design/food..
Graphics, Design Tech, Food Tech, Geog, History.
I ended up with Geography and History, to my horror. Now it's like there isn't a difference in coming here or being in Singapore. I'm still learning those 2 subjects. ROFL.
Just hope I don't regret it.
I got my club shirt and caps today! (: Training was okay. Could've been better especially for the kick set. Legs were dead after walking to school today -.- Finished my homework during lunch time in school today so I guess tonight I can watch tv again wheeee :D
Social studies today we went to the computer lab, then the teacher started explaining what to do for our reports. Then she told us that we could then start work. I was like "Wtf I did it over the weekends already!" So I went up to her and submitted my already-finished-during-the-weekends reports and she seemed amazed. She let me have free time during the whole of her lesson so I just continued reading Eclipse hahaha. One good thing about doing your homework on time before hand :D
Food tech was nice today! Ice cream testing! I had like 7 different types of vanilla ice cream during lesson. We had to rate each of them for how they tasted and looked. Who cares man! It was ice cream, definitely nice (: Except for the low-fat ones. They tasted horrible. Ugh ):
Graphics was cool I learnt how to make full use of my watercolour colour pencils (No not repetition by accident) and I used them for shading! Here's a pic to prove how proud I am at my painting (:
During Graphics my Dean sent a note to my class (That was like the 4th time in 2 weeks. Gosh.) then I went to see her. I'm so happy because she's moving me one grade up! Hahah! So yes, I will be finishing school by 16 and then I can go to uni muahahah (:< So now I'm no longer a year 10 student. I'll be a year 11 student. Which means I'm a senior in the school! That feels great (:
I have the stupid thick yellow booklet which my sister got when we first enrolled at the school. Now I realise I was mean to laugh at her. Gyah I have to read through it too and choose my options.. I'm taking 4 sciences. I don't think I would've chosen triple science in Singapore but I just decided to choose 4 sciences here since I didn't know what else to choose. Honestly that's the only reason why I choose 4 sciences. Oops.
Hmmm 8pm now I shall finish my graphics homework and math homework and then I'll read through the booklet of options and maybe go and see my Dean tmr so that I can move into my new class asap.
On the other hand, I'm uber sad because I was supposed to go to the ice cream factory on 11 March, Tuesday. But I'll be in my year 11 class by Monday so no ice cream factory outing anymore *pouts*
IF YOU CAN'T DO THE MATH, THEN GET OUT OF THE EQUATION

No morning training + watch tv before school + no homework from school + easy afternoon set for training = Happy Aly!
No morning training this morning so I woke up at 7am (You people in Singapore should be jealous, cause you guys are in school by 7am already) and then I watched tv and had breakfast until 8.15am (More reasons to be jealous!) and left for school after that.
No homework from school today! I am so happy. I really really really hope I can skip a grade. Then I can go to uni when I'm.. Uhm, 16! Yeah that's right! 16 >:D
Afternoon set was unbelievably easy. 4 sets of 3x (10x33) drill, kick, pull in IM order on 1min! It was the only thing written on the board, so I was thinking, "Is that all we're doing for training!? O_O" Curious, I counted how long it'd take us.
I counted: 10x3=30. 30x1min=30mins. 30minsx4=120mins. 120mins=2hours.
I was so shocked I thought I counted wrongly. So I tried a different method.
4x10x3=120. 120x1min=120mins!
Same result again! Still in shock, I asked Jess whether the set was gonna take us 2hours. And she said, "Yeah that's all we're doing for training."
You can't believe how happy I was. Training was also really fun today because alot of people talked to me (for some weird reason). David kept asking me to hi-five him -.- He and his weird hi-fives..
I'm rooming with Kate Tessa & Coach Maddie for nationals! Quite unfair, because I have 4 in a room while Liz only has 3 ): Maybe it's cause Tessa and I are first timers in Nationals. That's why we have to room with an adult. Pfftz it's gonna ruin the fun. But my parents say angmoh coaches are different from asian coaches and they'll let us have fun. I couldn't disagree so I'm still happy (:
No homework from school today I'm gonna watch tv now byebye people muackz.
A birthday dedication to you since I have nothing else to do, and also because you totally deserve it! :D
It's been amazing how we've been in the same school for the past 7 years (And it would have been a total of 12 years if I hadn't moved to NZ) and you don't know how sad I was to have left you ): We have been in the same class for 4 years (Or more, I can't remember) and we've been best friends since Primary 4! I know I used to love sitting in register order, because you me and amandayim would always been the first 3 in the class, and we'd always sit together and have so much fun although it was exam period! I miss those times a lot.
Secondary school and amandayim was in another class ):< I always thought you'd go to MGS SBC class for secondary school, but you changed your options and came to RGS for that! I am soooooo thankful for that because if not, I wouldn't have any close friends in my Sec 1 class. It must be fate that we were in the same class again for secondary school! <3 We made a lot of great friends together and we've stuck through thick and thin together, copying answers from people and chionging through homework during recess/lunch. We still had so much fun together when we both went out with amandayim, or hang around amandayim's house. Hahahah life was so much better when you were around (:
Now I'm in NZ and you're in Singapore, but I'm trying my best not to let this friendship between us fade away! It doesn't matter how far we are. True friendship isn't about being inseperable. It's about being seperated and nothing changes (: I'm glad that's how it is between us. Whenever both of us are online, there isn't a time when I never laughed my ass off at your silliness :D You make me laugh when I don't even want to SMILE. That's how special you are to me.
Today was a perfect example of how much of best friends we are. We were having a video conversation on msn, and we wanted to let each other hear a song that we thought was funny. I played "Bad Day" from Alvin and the Chipmunks and there was like echoing of that song coming from my com so I thought it must've been echoing in alicia's com. Turned out we were both playing each other the same song! Freaky but totally awesome! I'm so happy to have met you. It's one of the bestest things that's happened in my life.
I don't know how to express how much you mean to me but just know that I want this friendship to last forever (: Continue to pursue your dreams because I'll be here standing by you the whole way through and it makes me proud to say that you're my best friend.
Training this morning started out totally wet ): It was raining non-stop from yesterday so everyone was freezing. In the end, Gary said we'd be going to Llyod Esmore Park (Indoor pool) to train instead of Pakuranga college (Outdoor pool) since it'd be too cold for us to train properly anyway. But because Lloyd Esmore Park was a public pool, it only opened at 7am, so we stayed at the gym at Pakuranga college to warm up + play basketball until 7am. We then made our way to Lloyd Esmore.
I realised I left my netbag behind at the gym when I reached Lloyd Esmore, so I had to go back and it back. It wasn't there, so I figured someone must have taken it to Lloyd Esmore so I went back anyway. It was really there so I continued training as usual. Today we ended at 9am instead of 8.30am because Gary wanted us to finish today's set as it was really important according to him. Anyway after training he told us that those going for Nationals have Monday morning off + 1 session off, so I get to miss 2 sessions next week yay! ;D
Home, ate breakfast, finished my 2 social studies reportzzz then out for lunch at KFC, then shopping!
Shopping has never been more fun (because I actually BOUGHT something this time). I got 2 dresses - 1 blue + 1 orange. They're both nice and I think I'll bring both to Christchurch. I'm definitely bringing my camera (However lousy it is) along to Christchurch. Pics pics pics it's been awhile since I took any.
After that we went to another shopping mall to get my shoes/sandals/I-don't-know-what-this-type-of-shoes/sandals-are-called. It's really cute and it's meant to go with my dresses. Hahaha I'm bringing them to Christchurch too whee. Again, pics only when I'm back from Nationals.
Dinner at Dad's friend's house after that and I made friends with his daughter and her 2 friends. I can't believe Nerine and Nadia go to Rangitoto college I am so jealous! ):< That school's like huge lah. Gosh. Anyway we spent the whole time talking about random stuff until like 1.30am where I came home.
1.30am to now I've just been doing my Graphics homework, reading through all my NAG information, and finishing a part of my other Social studies homework. Of course there's always procrastination like talking to people on msn (which I am still doing) so there's no surprise it took me so long to finish my work.
^My Graphics homework. Had to draw a stapler freehand in 3D (:
^I wrote all of that out okay! Social studies. Click to see enlarged and you'll see my handwriting.
^NAG stuffz.
Now it's like 3.15am here and nobody's freaking online so I have to get my well-deserved sleep and make sure I make a 28secs and 1.01min for Nationals so that I can go Aust Age!!! Shocking how much motivation and drive I have here compared to Singapore. Maybe it's because I actually stand a chance to get somewhere, unlike Singapore.
And suddenly life has a totally different meaning to it. 8 MORE DAYS TO CHRISTCHURCH! <3 0 Comments
THAT'S MY GOAL
Friday, February 22, 2008
Okay now I have new goals.
It's to make the Australian Age Group on 9th April 2008. Since I'll still be 13 years old during that time, my qualifying time is 29.00 for 50 free, and 1.02 something for 100 free.
Second goal, to skip a grade. My Dean will have a look at my 2007 report and decide if I should jump to Year 11 instead. If I manage to do that, I'd be graduating the same time as Tingwen. Hahahahah.
That's all I have the energy to post about today. I'm dead beat and I need some sleep. Out shopping tmr after morning training and then dinner at dad's friend's house ):
Shizzz I hate social studies reports. At least I'm almost done. Yay.
Birthday wish for today: HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY TAN LIYING! <3 0 Comments

Thursday, February 21, 2008
Have to design a Human Rights poster, write 2 reports on 2 different cases of people who are not protected by Human Rights, and suggest 3 ways to help these people for each report.
I hate homework -.-
National Age Group meeting after training this afternoon. Now I know who is going and who isn't. Hahah (: I'm still excited about the whole thing. It's new to me, you see. And I'm the only one who hasn't travelled away with the HPK team so hopefully my first trip would be fun.
Relay today! It was really exciting cause it was only 15m relays hahahaha. Peter and I agreed that 15m relays were good because you'd never know when someone who's at the side without a wall cheats or not. Muahahahaha (:<
Okay uhm athletics day was okay today. I just listened to my ipod, read my book (and finished it!), and slept throughout it. Heh.
Last day of school week tmr whoots. One more day to the weekend! 10 days to Christchurch! <3

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO HOPE FOR."
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
School as usual. Completed all my homework. I suddenly want to transfer school for some reason. To St Kentigern College. It's a private school in Pakuranga and it's really near where I train (Pakuranga College). I figured it'd be a whole lot easier if I went to school there. Besides, St Kentigern looks like a castle I tell you. Okay maybe not but it looks awesome. The buildings are really nice and it looks beautiful from outside. If there was a scholarship to there I'd totally try for it.
Training! As usual but I've confirmed my legs are dead-er. Bloody hell I can't move them anymore! AT ALL! Argh!!! ):<
Athletics day finals tomorrow at school, so I only have 2 hours of lessons. Yay because that means no homework (: Then friday and then the weekend! :D
Can't wait can't wait 11 more days to Christchurch! <3 0 Comments
GENUINE SMILES (:
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Was today just awesome or awesome! (: It was athletics day today, and I didn't know that we didn't have classes. I was the only one who didn't sign up for any event for athletics day, so I had like the whole day to myself and I could do whatever I want! Wheeeeee.
So, instead of being out on the field like everyone else, I stayed in a classroom along with other people from the other year levels to do whatever I want. I finished up my math homework so now I have no homework to do yay! Then I decided to read as much of The Kite Runner as I could. Halfway I got kinda tired, so I took out my ipod and listened to music while reading. Eyes got tired, so I put down my book and watched a movie on my ipod. I thought it'd last me the rest of the school hours but my battery was running low already so I just switched back to listening to music and took a short nap (:
Then, TRAINING! Hahahahah today's training was retarded. Not that the set was easy or anything (But on second thoughts, we've begun tapering already), but we suddenly had so many stupid convos today.
Liz: You know today at school, my social studies teacher told me about this guy, who killed a baby by slitting him/her open and stuffing drugs in him/her to bring to America!?
Everyone: (Shocked)
Liz: That poor thing! ):
Peter: The baby's already dead, so get over it already!
Liz: Okay fine, but seriously, why would anyone want to stuff drugs in a baby!? ):
Andrei: To make it smell good.
Everyone: Hahahah!
--- Gary: Try to kill someone with your turns!
Me: Yeah sure, I'd kill myself.
Jess: Hahahahahah. Hahahahahah. (And she kept laughing to herself for a decently long time..)
--- Gary: We're going on the red top, people!
Jeff: (Pushes off the wall at the black top when we have 30secs more)
Me: (Stops him)
Stefan: Jeff what are you doing! We're on the red top!
Jeff: I know! I'm practicing my push-offs!
Everyone: ._________.
Jeff: (Goes back to the wall and pushes off it a couple of times more)
Omg so retarded.
--- Mallory: Gary keeps calling you A-lee-si-ah! I can't take it! It's A-lee-sa right?
Me: Yup it's A-lee-sa.
Valerie: Yah, and Sam calls you Alicia. Hahahahahah!
Me: My coach in Singapore used to call me that too -.-
Valerie: It's so annoying. I'm like, GET IT RIGHT GARY!!!!!
Me: ROFL.
--- Anyway, I'm really really happy because I've already gotten my excuse letter from my Dean in school for being away for one week to be in Christchurch! Whoohoo! This is the first time I am going to skip school for one week because of a swimming competition. Hahah! I'll be away for one full week: Sunday 2 March to Sunday 9 March. I really can't wait to have my first competition with the team.
My checklist thingo is out too. We're having some movie night on Monday in Christchurch according to the list and we have a dinner on Saturday! Like it is with Asean Cups. I will go out this weekend and look for a nice dress to wear for that dinner. I know I usually never wear dresses and I was the Anti-Dresses kind of person. But being here in a totally new environment, I've come to realise that dresses make people look really nice so I think I'll go dress-hunting this weekend (:
I got my coat from HPK and it makes me really really nice and cozy and warm in the mornings. It's like super thick and there's like wool inside. I shall take a picture of all my gear/clothes/whatever things when I've packed for Christchurch.
Okay, time for dinner now. I hope my trip to Christchurch will be exciting and fufilling! Of course, I'm not exactly looking forward to the "competition" part, but that's what it's all about, isn't it? :/
Wish me luck guys, because I have 11 more days to mentally and physically prepare myself for my first major meet which will involve the whole of NZ swimming communitee. 0 Comments
MONDAY BLUES
Monday, February 18, 2008
We had the same programme for both morning and afternoon training! During afternoon training, I was like thinking, "Eh how come the sets are like exactly the same so far?" And so I asked Kate and she was like, "Yeah we're doing this morning's programme." -.-
Oh God my legs are dying. I can't even find the strength to kick anymore! Proves that I've been training hard but I'm gonna need more than that. Gyah.
Science + Graphics + Math (If I feel like doing) homework. Aiming to finish by 8pm then Drake & Josh for half an hour then baking cream puffs with mom and then eating cream puffs with ice cream after that wheeeee.
Tired and I better start doing my work if I wanna finish them by 8pm.
I'm still in love with A Walk to Remember <3 0 Comments

I can't help but cry whenever I see Landon crying because of Jamie. Stupid Dana has got me hooked onto the movie argh! ): How long will it be before I get over it.
Stayed in the whole day today. Too tired to go out. Nationals coming up in less than 3 weeks. Will be missing school camp which sounded loads of fun, but I guess I'll be enjoying myself a lot more in Christchurch (:
Ice cream here is really nice. Yesterday I had triple scoop ice cream for $4.80! And it's New Zealand Natural, too (: It's really expensive in Singapore. I'm glad I can enjoy ice cream more often here :D
Uhm, let's see. I finished The Choice by Nicholas Sparks yesterday, and towards the end I really wanted to cry too. But it wasn't as touching as the true love between Landon and Jamie. However the way Travis Parker (The main guy in the book) missed and pined for Gabby while she was in a coma after an accident really touched me too. How the love between Travis and Gabby lasted for 11 years of marriage was really touching. Nicholas Sparks sure has a talent for turning cliche plots into wonderful stories.
Now I am currently reading The Kite Runner. It's out in cinemas for like forever and my sis desperately wants to catch it. I don't know whether we will. Oh well I'll think about it later. For now I'm just gonna finish up watching the last bit of A Walk to Remember and then go downstairs and get myself watching other shows on tv. Yes, I know I'm watching A Walk to Remember again.. What did I say about Dana getting me hooked onto it!? LOL.
Landon: (Asks Jamie for help in memorising his lines for the Spring Musical) Jamie: Okay, on one condition. You have to promise not to fall in love with me. Landon: That's not a problem. . . . Landon: I might kiss you. Jamie: I might be bad at it. Landon: That's not possible. (They kiss) Landon: Jamie, I love you. (Long pause) Landon: Now would be the time to say something. Jamie: I told you not to fall in love with me.
--- Somewhere in between all our laughs, long talks, stupid little fights and all our jokes,
I cried like hell today. I was super touched by the movie "A Walk to Remember". I'm telling you, although the plot was a teeny weeny bit cliche, I still love the movie even though I'm usually a I-dislike-cliche-plots-cause-they're-so-predictable person.
A little info about the story.
A Walk to Remember is a movie based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks. A guy called Landon Carter gets into trouble and therefore he was punished by the school principal to participate in after school activities, such as tutoring disadvantaged children and acting in the school's Spring Musical. Through these activities, he is forced to interact with a girl he has been in the same class for forever: Kindergarten to high school. This girl's name is Jamie Sullivan.
Jamie Sullivan, unlike Landon Carter, was just a typical girl-next-door. Her father was a pastor. She always wore very ugly clothes which the popular kids (Including Landon) make fun of. One day, Landon approaches Jamie for help with the school play because he had difficulty memorising the lines.
After that, many things happened (which I am obviously not going to state here because it'll just ruin the whole story!) and both of them fall in love.
I am not going to tell anything about the ending either cause that's where all the tears come. In case you guys were wondering, Mandy Moore takes the role of Jamie Sullivan while Shane West takes the role of Landon Carter. I was really touched by how much Landon actually loved Jamie (:
Trailer here.
Have a nice day while I finish up my homework, finish up The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, and patiently wait for people to come online (:
Landon: Are you scared? Jamie: To death... [Landon looks upset] Jamie: Lighten up. Landon: It's not funny. Jamie: I'm scared of not being with you. Landon: Oh baby, that will never happen... I'll be here.
Is it just me, or do people here have the habit of disrespecting and talking back to their elders? I just couldn't stand the way they were talking to Sam today at afternoon training. As a girl who sometimes disrespects my elders, if I can say that they were disrespectful, they really are. Trust me on that.
Gary was only at training for the first 10mins to give the programme. He then left for Juniors (The 12&under people had a competition) so he left Sam in charge of training.
It was Person B today. She was obviously in the wrong for shouting "GO" to Person A when Sam didn't even give the command to go. Sam obviously got mad and he punished Person B by making her get out of the pool and stand by the pool deck. It may seem stupid, but seriously you wouldn't want to be on the pool deck while you're wet because today was one hell of a windy day, so you would freeze on the pool deck. Person B was also unallowed to go into the pool unless Sam said she could.
Hence, Person B grudgingly stood by the pool deck. I mean, if I were her, I would do so without a complaint since I was in the wrong and I can't deny it. Oh, but Person B? Hahah, she just had to go against Sam's orders and hop into the pool when she couldn't take it anymore. She continued making noise and laughing and disregarding Sam's orders whatsoever.
Naturally Sam got angrier and he shouted at her to get out of the pool, and guess what Person B said.
"I'm not getting out. I DON'T WANT TO."
Bloody hell who is she to defy her coach's orders? So what if she doesn't want to get out. It doesn't mean she can choose not to. I mean, I don't want to do 2k timed kick all the time but I always follow orders without making any sound! Why can't she do the same?! I don't understand. The worst thing was her attitude towards Sam. Sam is her coach afterall and she doesn't have any right to talk back to him like that! I can't stand her attitude. Just thinking of it makes me sick. Ugh.
Okay. If you didn't find that a good enough reason, here's another one. When an adult scolds you, you will wait until he/she is done with the scolding before you point out where he/she may have misunderstood the whole situation. Kids like us aren't supposed to interupt while they are scolding us because it's rude, however unreasonable the scolding might seem.
Well, Person B got scolded for another reason (which I am too lazy to type about) so let's just say she wasn't in the wrong, but she was in the wrong for talking back to Sam. Again. She kept saying really loudly, "Can you please let me speak!?" in that furious tone of hers. Once again her attitude made me sick.
Honestly, I really really wanted to get out of the pool, tell Sam that I couldn't take the bad attitude/behaviour of the team anymore. And that it was pointless to continue swimming this session because it was obviously just a waste of time to swim with that kinda attitude.
Once again I had to put up with more nonsense today. At least I know my roomie for Nationals @ Christchurch is nice. I know who she is. Gary told me who I was put together with. Thank God I'm not with Persons A, B and C. I wonder if Gary knows I kinda dislike them. Apparently he put me permanently in their lane grrrrr.
I'm glad I know how important respect is to people now. I must constantly remind myself not to be like Person B and treat my elders with more respect. I'd hate it if people say I don't practice what I preach.
School's okay today just that Math Advanced is really boring because we're learning GST now and the teacher's just teaching everything that me (and my class) knows already. Plus she teaches really slowly and she keeps asking if she's going too fast. Oh god someone has to tell her that we don't respond to her questions not because we don't know the answers. It's because the answers are so obvious we feel there's no need to answer them. Sheesh.
Lighter note, no homework for english socialstudies science graphics foodtech heatlh & tech. There's only a bit of math because we're gonna be missing the next few lessons cause of althetics day.
I'm gonna finish up reading Ender's Game by tonight and then finish The Choice by this weekend so that I can start reading The Kite Runner and then Eclipse when my sis is done with it (:
Suddenly I'm in love with books. Better read while the interest lasts. I'll end off with a birthday wish (:
Valentines day spent all alone on Thursday. No friends let alone lovers lol. It's sad to spend a day that's meant for people to get together and have fun alone :/
I have some bad 2nd impressions on some people in HPK now.
Person A hates me (it's quite obvious) and I hate her too, but Gary made me swim in the same lane as her, and claimed that she is around the same as me for sprinting when I can win her without having to kick at all. Yet she still thinks she's all that. To hell with her.
Person B is nice to me when she feels like it. The other day, her lane was crowded and I was planning to join her lane, but she got angry and she started complaining about how crowded it was and she even shouted, "Can those who don't belong to this lane get out of it?!" Eventually I got pissed off at that comment and I could tell that I wasn't welcome there so I moved to the not-so-fast swimmers lane. She then stopped complaining. That shows that she was chasing me away. She will pay when I show her how much better I am than her.. For now I will be patient and put up with her nonsense.
Person C is generally nice and hasn't done anything to provoke me but she only talks to me when her friends (persons A and B) are not at training. If they are, then I'm practically invisible to her. Don't have to wait till someone tells me that I'm just a substitute friend to her. When she needs me, I'm there. When she doesn't need me, heck about where I am. Sometimes it also seems like she doesn't want me to swim in her lane.
Persons A, B and C swim in the same lane and I try not to go to that lane whenever I can. I don't care if I have to go to the slower swimmers lane to swim. They are definitely a lot nicer and friendlier and they make training alot less serious with all their laughter. And, I get to lead the lane without having to poke the person in front of me (Usually who is Person A) before she gets pissed and asks me to lead. That's why I like swimming in the slower swimmers lane. At least I get some Goddamn respect.
School has been okay so far. I spend my recesses and lunches with the same few people but I never engage in their conversations much. I just sit with them but I do my own homework and stuff cause lunch time is really really long. I also met this girl who is crazy about Edward Cullen too! :D She's in my Math Advanced to top that. Yay! Oh and she's chinese too, I think (:
Okay now I have to do my book reviews and I'm doing my book review on Flowers For Algernon cause it's such a lovely story. Gotta get the habit of reading books now cause I have to read a mininum amount of books each year -.- The teacher will check too, so dammit.
Back to spending time with me myself and I on Valentines day. I wonder when my first Valentines day will be special. Hmm.
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel And every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal For the life I lead
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see
They're trying to come back, all my senses push Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could
Steady feet, don't fail me now Gonna run till you can't walk But something pulls my focus out And I'm standing down
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, you don't need
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be Oh, do you see what I see -One Republic
Back to homework. Tired and can't focus!!!! )': 0 Comments
CUBES & SPHERES
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
3rd day of school only and I'm piled up with work.
Learning Human Rights in Social studies, it sounds pretty interesting and at least it isn't some kinda civilisation topic (unlike History last year) so I guess I won't die of boredom? (:
Science is not cool. I'll be re-learning all the topics I learnt in PSLE year. Electricity, plant reproduction, FAMILY TRAITS (WTH!?), forces and motion etc. Omgah I'm gonna die in class and I'll be listening to the same things I've heard 2 years ago. Now I have to complete my homework. Dang it cause I forgot all that I've learnt -.-
Advanced math! Not so cool either cause it's compulsory for all students in Advanced math to join 2 math competitions thing. Like math olympiad but only 2 of the competitions. I'm not sure what they're called but wth I'm so not interested in them. Eeeks.
Graphics! I learnt how to draw a cube sphere prism pyramid etc properly today and it is my homework to draw those 6 shapes and shade them (whee!) by Friday. I like graphics :D
Food tech! We'll be making smoothies and going to ice cream factory for excursion sometime soon and yay I like food especially ice cream muahahahah.
That's all now it's 10pm. Got no training tmr morning so I'll spend the rest of my night doing homework. What a way to waste my night. Sayonara! 0 Comments

School today wasn't that bad. I've talked to some people in my class and they seem pretty friendly to me. Jess is the nicest so far (:
Finished my English homework already. Yay! I'm gonna catch Drake and Josh in a couple of minutes so today's post is pretty short.
School camp from 5th-7th March and it sounds really interesting! It's to some place and it'll be like OBS just that it's not so fun (I think) but we have to cook with the gas thingum and sleep in tents etc. So sad I can't go because I'll be in Christchurch for Nationals, WHICH IS TOTALLY WAY MORE EXCITING :D
Nothing happened at training except that I survived (Which is a miracle) haha! Laterrr ;D
Oh yes I'm one of the few people in my class in Math Advanced so they all think I'm a nerd *()!@^&%#*&!! 0 Comments
JUMP IN
Sunday, February 10, 2008
Catching Jump In on Disney channel later cause I think it's a cool show. Not much today, and I was hoping some close friends would turn up online yesterday, but sadly on Rachelyu and Aliciafong were there ): Glad you two were there though (:
Knocked out at 12midnight yesterday cause I was too tired :/
Went out today but didn't do much. Grocery shopping and just browsing at the malls. Nothing much.
Not exactly looking forward to school tmr. I have PE but I don't know how the uniform thingo works for it and there wasn't any explanations on the booklets they gave us. It's all really unclear. I kinda regret signing up for the swim meet too. I don't know what to do cause they don't give briefings there. Idiotic. I should cancel my sign-ups.
I don't believe I'm saying this but I miss training. At least I have people to talk to over there.
Signing off. Gonna make use of the time when nobody's online to watch tv.
I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken.
And the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn't brighten her own. (:
There was much excitement in this morning's training (: I had relay for the first time at HPK and it turned out quite fun!
First we had 3 captains: Julia, Renee and I-don't-know-what-her-name-is-and-never-got-around-to-ask-her :P To decide who gets to pick first, they were each given a $1 coin by Gary/Horst to toss. The person who gets the odd face gets to choose first. For the first few times, they all tossed the same face so they kept tossing and tossing until finally the-girl-whose-name-I-don't-know was the only girl to get tails so she got to choose first.
Then Julia and Renee were arguing about who should go second so they came up with some stupid thing where whoever manages to toss the coin and end up with the face that they bet they will. Julia chose heads and Renee chose tails but again, it didn't really work out so they kept tossing and tossing. Julia then changed to tails and she tossed and got tails so yay her she got to choose second lol.
Came to choosing team members time! I was expecting to be picked last but I got picked quite early so that's a surprise to me. And guess what, I was picked by the-girl-whose-name-I-didn't-know so I felt damn paiseh cause she knew me! Plus she trains with Horst and not Gary so I don't know how the hell she knew my name and stuff.
Anyway I ended up in the same team as the captain (of course), Val, Brett (I think that's his name. Hope I didn't get it wrong), Michelle, Nicola, Andrei (Hah I finally know how to spell his name) and and and two more guys if I'm not wrong which I probably am. Gyah.
Relay started off with free. We were leading then somehow we lost and got 2nd ): Jule's team won. So Renee's team (who came in last) got to choose what to do next. She choose IM and my team got last for that! ): Jule's team won again for the IM. Horst said that if her team won again for the last relay, the other captains have to give her their $1s. She was so happy to hear that hahahah!
Cameron was like, "You'll have to share your $3 with your team!" Jules said, "$3 divide by...(realises there are around 10 people in her team) OH C'MON!"
Hahahah these people can be so funny sometimes. Anyway my team won the backstroke (: So Julia didn't get her $3.
That was all for morning training. Won't be posting anything about training until Monday since I have no training until then. Yay (:
Damn tired now. I wanna sleep. Now to decide to sleep or watch tv. Bye! 0 Comments
PUNK'D
Friday, February 8, 2008
Gary and Horst freaked me out at morning training today. When I was walking over to the pool deck to leave my netbag at lane 6, they called me, and then told me there was 4K TIMED KICK. I immediately dropped my netbag on the spot and my jaws dropped too. I was like thinking, "OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG!" Gary then said, "I know how much you're gonna enjoy doing it." Horst made it even worse and followed, "And I know you're gonna enjoy how long you're gonna take to do it even more."
I was totally freaking out as I walked back to my bag. My mind was filled with "OMG 4K TIMED KICK OMG 4K TIMED KICK".
I can't believe they were actually pulling a prank on me. When the programme was out, I was like searching desperately for when the 4k timed kick was, but after looking at the programme for the 2198436518129365th time, I STILL DIDN'T SEE IT. It was then I realised I got PUNK'D! ):<
GARY AND HORST, IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO NOT FUNNY.
Halfway during training, when we had 6x100 free on 1.25, I had a sudden difficulty in breathing. It was like, whenever I breathed, my lungs would hurt really badly! I stopped for awhile and then I started coughing and coughing. I was scared that I fell sick. Anyway I continued swimming, and then two laps after, David who was in front of me, stopped and started coughing too. I was like eh O_O? So coincidental.
When everyone finished the 6x100 free and were at the wall, there was LOADS of people coughing. It was hilarious man. Then everyone started complaining about how much their lungs hurt when they breathed. HAHAHAH IT WAS DAMN FUNNY! Simon commented, "Is everyone's lungs screwed or what!?" ROFL LMAO I don't know what caused everyone to cough but it was weird and funny at the same time heh.
School was a total disaster today. Guess what, I was the ONLY new student in my class (So much for the DEAN telling me that I won't be alone blah blah blah) and there were like cliques in the class already, so I spent the whole day at school alone. Until when school was over, two very nice and friendly girls from my class approached me and introduced themselves (: They were both really nice, offering help and all, but I was quite dao because I didn't know what to say to them :/ Hmm.
I got my timetable already and I'm very proud to say that I GOT INTO MATH ADVANCED CLASS! :D Yipee! And I've also signed up for my school's swim carn and heats are next wed. Finals are on fri. LOL I'm just gonna swim it through cause I know it isn't much of a big deal.
Afternoon training straight from school. I was like dying for 200 max kick even though I wasn't exactly going max. My legs felt so numb and they couldn't move anymore! ):< Gyah. Training wasn't that bad, maybe just kinda tired from school so that's why I didn't do well for HVOs. (HVOs here are different from HVOs in Singapore).
I'm damn hungry. Everytime I finish showering at home after training, I come straight here to blog. Lesson learnt. Gonna fill my stomach now. Seeya! 0 Comments
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR :D
Thursday, February 7, 2008
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Today was mediocre day.
Despite being Chinese New Year, I didn't receive any angpaos, and I probably won't because we don't really celebrate CNY here in NZ. Sad eh? Talking about angpaos, my grandfather (from my dad's side) has never given me an angpao in my whole life. Yeah that's how mean he is. That's why I don't really like him. Ohwell.
Training this morning was mediocre too. There was 2k timed kick AGAIN but this time I pulled it through. I tried my best to kick as hard as I possibly could throughout the whole 60 laps. Results? I got lapped 7 and a half times compared to the other day's 11 times, which is an improvement. That means I was 15 laps behind today but 22 laps behind the other day. Even though I was still 15 laps behind, I felt good about myself. At least I didn't let myself down.
School at 10.30am and it was bullshit. All the new students assembled in the hall and then we had the usual speeches blah blah blah. It wouldn't have been that bad if the people actually talked in ENGLISH but nooooo, they practically all talked in MAORI, which I didn't freaking understand. In the end I fell asleep but woke up when it all ended (:
We all went to get our school internet access thingos fixed and then we went home at 1pm. Tmr we'll be going to our tutor groups so I think it'll be less boring. Hopefully.
Oh yes, I think Gary is crazy. First of all, he tells me that I can go 27secs for my 50 free, and this morning he tells me that he's giving me less than 12 months to go below 1min for 100 free. In fact, he's expecting me to hit below 60secs by SEPTEMBER. I know there was a Spring Meet in Sept which was short course, so I thought 1min for short course wouldn't be too bad, but he clarified and made it clear that he wanted me to do below 1min for LONG COURSE #$%^*&)(! Dang it.
Andre (Uh not sure how to spell his name) has ohso kindheartedly told me that I should get below 1min for my 100free as quickly as possible because he suffered something terrible when he didn't hit Gary's target for him. *Shudders* He refused to tell me what it was but I guess I'd rather NOT find out for myself.
Okay I'm hungry gonna go down for dinner. Ciao~ 0 Comments
HAPPY WAITANGI DAY!
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Life has finally decided to change for the better for me today.
Today is WAITANGI DAY! What that is, I don't really know but a public holiday definitely makes me happy! To all in NZ, HAPPY WAITANGI DAY! :D
To start out, I had the morning off because I don't train on Wednesday mornings. Spent the entire morning just lazing around watching the telly. Yknow how much I like that (:
Afternoon training was a blast! I had my first ever heart rate set in New Zealand! Trust me, YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE. In comparison to the heart rate set that John gives us 2-3 times a week in Singapore, the heart rate set here is really easy. When someone like ME says it's easy, IT REALLY IS.
Singapore's heart rate set would be 30x100 free on 1.40. New Zealand's (or rather, my club's) heart rate set is 30x66 on 2mins.
Hahah! Right in your face. 34m less AND, we have extra 20seconds rest to top that! ROFL. I feel so good right now. I swam reasonably well for that set. Whee.
Also, I learnt ALOT of new stuff (about stroke rates and turns) from Gary! Hahah now I understand a whole lot more about how training works here in NZ.
Kick set was 8x100 on 1.50, and although I didn't make the cycles, I didn't stop kicking hard and I didn't give up! (: Like finally, right? I feel so proud of myself although I didn't make that freaking cycle which makes me feel kinda pissed off.
I also talked more during training today. The people are generally very nice. Except for a few people who are alot better than me. I guess I'm just beneath them and I don't deserve their breath to be wasted on me. Ohwell it's not like I haven't experienced this before in Singapore. Who cares about them anyway. I wouldn't wanna talk to those kinda people even if they did talk to me. Sheesh.
Okay now to wrap up the day, I'm gonna have steamboat dinner because today also happens to be CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE! (: Yay!
On the other hand, there's school tmr pfftz will post about it tmr :P Later! 0 Comments
BAD, BAD DAY.
Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Today was crappy. From the beginning, right to the very end.
Firstly, morning training. The warm up set was 800 free below 10mins. WHAT THE FUCK LAH. I can't even do below 5min for 400 free even when I'm chionging like siao and now we have 800 free below 10mins for WARM UP. Go and die man.
After that (&*^#$! 800 free, we had 2km timed kick. Great. My kick sucks like shit and now there was 2k timed kick. I got lapped for the first time after 6 laps (which is 200m). 2km was 60 laps and guess how many times I got lapped?
ELEVEN. Yes I got lapped eleven times, which also means, I was TWENTY-TWO laps behind everyone. So when everyone finished 60 laps, I had only done 48 so I had to keep kicking like an idiot (cause I wasn't allowed to cut laps) and then everyone swam like 800 free with fins and finally I ended the same time as them. WTF LAH I HATE HATE HATE HATE KICK SETS.
I thought that was the end of the bad things that would happen to me, but NOOOOOO.. Apparently Heaven made a fool out of me today.
When I got home at around 8.45am, my mom told me that I had to go to school to sit for my FUCKING ENGLISH TEST which was supposed to be at 8.30am this morning. ARGH. The teacher called when I didn't turn up at school and I was like thinking, "WTF I THOUGHT I DIDN'T HAVE TO SIT FOR THE TEST."
In the end I went and the test was pretty easy -.- The teacher marked it on the spot then she confirmed that I was in mainstream english. WHADDAHELL MAN waste my one hour in school.
Afternoon training sucked big time too. I'm telling you, I HATE KICK SETS LIKE SHIT. And my dad actually caught me giving up at the 8x100 kick on 1.45. Helloooo it isn't my fault. For a girl who can't even make 2mins for 100 kick, there isn't even any point to try making 1.45 cycles. It's just wasting her effort. So I slacked away and my dad gave me a long long long lecture on the way home. I cried in the car.
Gary also wants to see me (and probably my father, too) so that he can sit down and talk to the both of us about MY goals etc etc. My dad CLAIMS that Gary said that I can make 27secs in one year and when I heard it, I seriously laughed my head off. What kind of a stupid joke is that. Afterall I'm just a girl who can't even make 2mins for 100 kick. How is it possible to make 27secs for 50 free in one year. Pfftz.
I don't wanna go on anymore. I'm tired of trying. Especially when you STILL get lapped a fucking eleven times even though you do.
School starts on Thursday and that's gonna make training a hell lot worse. Okay I've had enough of this. Time to go downstairs and enjoy dinner while watching tv.
Gary was back at the pool today! First time I met him. Quite awkward actually. Anyway I'm not sure about his programmes but up till now I still prefer Horst ):
Math test today was a breeze (: Everything that I loved <3 came out :D
ALGEBRA <3
Geometry :D
A mix of other stuff that I've learnt before :P
I didn't sit for the English test cause it only applied to students whose 2nd language was English. Everyone say YAY! (:
Went home after that. At 2.30pm I went for my first ever dental appointment in NZ. The dental clinic was freaking nice I tell you! I wish I could take pics but it'll seem damn weird if I do. LMAO.
My stupid dental appointment lasted until 4pm (and that's when training starts!!!!) so I had to rush home and get my training stuff then rush all the way to training. Luckily I reached there at 4.30pm so I wasn't too late (:
And I didn't get scolded. Yipee. Both sessions were okay today.
SCHOOL STARTS ON THURSDAYYY ): PRISON BREAK ON TV TONIGHT <3 STEAMBOAT AT HOME ON WEDNESDAY! :D
I went to bed at 3.30am this morning and ended up waking up at 9am -.- My sis, who turned in for bed like 109738285041274 hours earlier than me woke up 197826430918273 hours later than me too -.- I should've just slept more, damn it.
Spent the whole morning + a bit of the afternoon re-organising my clothes + other stuff and it's much, much, much neater now. I've arranged all my swimming costumes and I got a huge shock when I realised how many swimming costumes I actually own.
^The left side
^The right side
^The whole view from my phone camera :D
I think I'm gonna have a headache from now on when I want to choose what to wear for training hahahahah. My mom says I can open a shop with them ROFL. Anyhow, I love all my swimming costumes <3 They're all so pretty.
People had better come online today or else I'll dao them when they come online next weekend (:< 0 Comments
HOLY SHEET D:
Saturday, February 2, 2008
OMFG, I just realised after double-checking my booklets (I JUST knew I left out something) and found out that I didn't buy my books for some compulsory subjects which I thought weren't compulsory.
I amazingly left out..
DRAMA/ART/MUSIC
HEALTH
SOCIAL STUDIES
That only means one thing: One more trip to the bookstore pfftz. Ohwell my sister has to get her was-unavailable-at-the-bookstore-just-now music stuff too, so hopefully, no harm done :P
Shit I'm damn tired it's 1.14am now and I've been up since 5am this morning.. Wah my eyes are killing me right now. I wanna sleep but I haven't managed to catch anyone online (Except amandayim <3)
Right now I feel like I don't fit in anywhere. Singapore doesn't want me anymore & NZ doesn't want to take me in either.
Feeling unwanted. Not the first time I've felt it, but it still sucks.
Now, tell me, which one can I call "home"? :/ 0 Comments
ELECTRIKKK SHOCKZZ
And omg, _______ blogs.
Anyway training this morning was okay, just that I felt like a total asshole because I nearly did the wrong set by going to the wrong lane. Omg omg omg I feel so stupid right now.
Bought almost all my school supplies: Exercise books, notepads, calculators & shoes. Put them all together + school uniform = retarded look. Oh yeah I also received a letter from the school and apparently I'm in Tutor Group 10TO and it's the last on the list of "tutor groups" so I hope that's not a bad thing. My teacher is Mr Kevin Tomlinson and I reckon it's gonna be preeeeety weird.
I am so not looking forward to the test on Monday. On a brigher note (or maybe not), Gary's back! (:
No one's online right now so I guess I'll just stone in front of the computer in until 3am in the morning before I find out no one will actually bother to come online and then I'll go to bed feeling sad.
Oh, you'll never know how much I miss you. I still can't believe you actually BLOG. Hahahahah. 0 Comments
THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY :D
Friday, February 1, 2008
It's finally Friday so that means
I only have one session left tmr! (:
The weekend starts tmr (:
I can finally talk to my friends online till past midnight
NO TRAINING UNTIL MONDAY when Gary gets back O_O
I only have 2 days left to prepare for my tests
School starts in 6 days
This afternoon's set was nice <3 It was quite tiring but damn fun! First time I ever got to swim something like that. Luckily I managed to do good times compared to this morning's nightmare. Ah-hah! Contrast! Get it? Morning & Nightmare? ROFL.
Looks like I can NEVER escape Literature -.- Not entirely, at least.
