IJ..........
So much to say......... where do i start ? it has shaped who i am today so much. A little bit of heaven and hell it was. But definetely had some of the best experiences of my life there and i made my BESTIES there!
Ok, start with the good bits. I entered IJ at the age 10, after leaving crappy RGPS ( stupid teachers ) Strangely i can still remember gayle's nerva saying " this class is wacky!" when i entered 5 daisy. " THe new girl" in the school. THat is when i meet Pei ying, the little girl with two long braids and vanessa or nessa. We became great friends. I'm so glad i met them.
Some of the best moments for me is during the masses, especially when the whole class wraps their arms around each others shoulders and sways to the music. I am telling you there is NO OTHER FEELING like that in the world. The whole feeling of unity and belonging, nothing can break us down! That for me is the epitome of IJ. The prayers, the masses and cat classes. I miss the whole catholic school feeling.
I've realised how secular the world is now that i've come out of such a christian environment. But at least it;s made me a lot stronger in my faith, ( thanks to bible study as well)
The teacher have been so wonderfully dedicated to us. Ms Lim, who tried to make physics interesting for us! ( probably not very successful in my case) Ms Annabelle chow who made history really enjoyable and fun. To the bio teacher, who made bio really interesting subject and worked us soooooo haaaard !!! thank you! ( i owe my b3 to her) AND to Mrs P who was soooo dedicated and determined to help us through the ordeal of Math O level . ( I PASSED WOO HOO) IJ teachers were so dedicated, helpful and i haven't meet any other teachers ( even here ) who have cared so geniunely for us. Lastly to Mrs low, for pushing us so hard in english and refusing to give up on us ( ok, though she did wallk out on us once or twice) IJ teachers are the best, the most caring, concerned and full of selflessness. God bless all of them. You will never be forgotten.
The bad stuff..........
Ok, so maybe it is really like this in almost all girls schools but.......... After i left IJ, i realised what a bitchy, cliquish society it was. After i left IJ, i missed it yes, but not the stupid arguments and confrontations , how fucking alienated and left out i always felt, like i was some kind of outsider looking in. How invisible i was made to feel, there were times when i really felt my lowest ever during those 5 yrs, it seems so long those five years, yet it is hard to imagine that it is over! for the longest time whenever i was asked which school i came from it was always " IJ toa payoh Secondary" now it's " I'm studying in canada now" wow ! But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right? I learned independence and though i had been a loner, i was ok with it. I didn't care if ppl hated/scorned me for reasons that i don't care to know now. The severed ties, the stupid wasted tears. It was defeinetly one of the hardest periods of my life, not cos just cos of O levels. Cos of the way ppl treated me and made me feel. How conflicted i felt. I never hated IJ, just some of the ppl and the way i was made to feel. I'm so happy that i;ve moved on since then, i'm glad i've moved to another society, where i am content with where i am now. ( although the workload is like ERGHHH AHHHHHHH JUST KILL ME NOW PLS) i'd rather it than ( ERGHHH AHHHHHHH KILL ME NOW PLS x10) A levels. 3 yrs to get to uni, when i can get there by next yr??
As for certain communities of ppl in certain places, i am glad that i don't go there often anymore. The way that place makes me feel like sooooo '" you can't touch this" " this is what you'll never get" and sooo much more of the alienation and left-outedness i was made to feel It fucking hurt ppl when you never asked me and continuedly exlcuded me from things. HEll i've felt leftout my entire life. But since i've come here. HELL NO BABY. I feel so welcomed, with a sense of complete belonging, a new beginning was what i needed and i thank god for that.

Ka-razy days
Friday was not a normal day
In math data Mr salmon made us laugh soooo freaking much!
There were some ppl who were late ( as usual) so he took about some sheets of paper and wrote messages on them like " I don't like you, go away" lol!! and then " go take a long walk off a short bridge" ahahahah , then finally " drop dead " ahahah, the latecomers actually replied " we are the living dead, let us in" one crazy lesson
Lunch was mad, i had like 300 hundred ppl trying to talk to me at the same time and ate lunch while sitting at a 90 degree angle not facing the table. See i was trying to talk to 300 ppl at once, hence.
Later, had challange and change class. I thought we were doing debates but we just watched girl interrupted which is one of my all-time fave movies! ahah fancy watching it for class. As a result, was late for english. Was like 10 mins late and thought Mr terry would make me get a late slip, but he ddin't. We watched Othello ! damn! 2 movies for 2 lessons! can it get any better than that?
After class did recycling and watering the plants with wahida. Got my lovely shoes all wet and dirty! so i had to wash them. Thankfully they are canvas.
After that went for dinner and out for a movie with jackie and peggy. We watched shrek, and low and behold met Peter there !! such a coincidence ! After watching shrek, went to watch pirates an hr later with peter ! ahahah what is that, like4 movies in a day? but i found pirates too long and a bit confusng considerding i havent really watched the second pirates movie. I still want to watch spiderman...........

Hello again
To whoever reads my dear bloggy
Ok that was random
I have a challange and change test tmr, but i'm tired of studying for it having studied for it allll weekend. Oh! there is a japanese boy in school, new student, young, just 14. Jackie, being 1/2 jap is being his mentor! i;m sooo proud of her seeing her really come out of her shell. Oh and a new japanese student is a good chance to see who in school speaks japanese. They all crowded round during lunchtime......
Anything else interesting? well not really, same old same old. Ok maybe not " old" but usual. What did i do today? woke up, could hardly drag myself out of bed, soooo tired. After breakfast was math class, nothing out of the blue but as usual had to wait for ages outside the door. I'm ALWAYS early for math data. It is also FREAKING cold outside, so if you are wearing just the polo tee and a mini skirt ( like i did once) you would be freezing and my legs broke out again. Hate it when that happens ( reminder to self- MOISTURIZE MORE) and it;s still freaking cold inside as well. No wait, it is always cold in the mornings.
Was free second period and ran some laundry ( sticks!) and studied for the test. Had lunch and then went for sociey and change where we watched "An inconvenient truth" watched it b4, Mr cristello didn;t think much of it, he felt it global warming was a debatable issue.......... kinda surprised me! i think it;s more pertinant then debatable. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. He thought the movie was too one-sided, kinda true...... but that is the purpose right? Was falling asleep though.
Last was english, we had to do this stupid timeline for shakespheare. The last 2 lessons have been rather a waste of time. We start on shakespheare tmr - othello.

We went to wonderland on sunday, it was AMAZINGLY FUUUNNNNN
At first i was freaking out at the size of the roller coasters there were. i was lik, noooo i'm sooo not going on those rides. Little did i know............... i ended going on the roller coasters i wouldn;t go on even in my wildest dreams ( well that was then ) Thanks to gayithri...
She dragged me on ALL the scary rides! i don't know what came over me, i guess it was one of those days when i just let go. Just go " oh heck lah!" it was first this one which tossed around upside down. At first i was like, " no waayyy" but then i just relented and went on it. It turned out to be SUPER fun! so after that i joined them to go on a ROLLER COASTER. I managed to take it! the best thing to do is close your eyes and just ride! i learned to like it! never thought i ever would. Jackie was to afraid to go on any of the rides! no matter how much we tried to convince her she wouldn't! i'm so surprised i managed to change.
Oh the way back was sooo tired, rodrigo was sooo funy he was like " i go on the rides, know i feel sick " it has to said in his accent to perfect! like " i go on all the rides now i feeeel seeek" ahhahah and the noisy girls at the back just wouldn;t shut up! felt like asking them to shut the hell up, and the bus almost fell over the side of a cliff.
The end

All right..... Yeah............
I have been in school for barely a month and already mid-term marks come out!!
Pretty fast eh?
Well they do say it;s a short semester and all....
My current state? a mixture of joy and annoyance.
Firstly joy cos i scored pretty good in my mid-term marks!! well in english and Challange and change in society. Scored 84 for Challange and Change and 87 in english. Good huh? but i;ve always known humanities were my strong points. Not too sure about math date, probably pretty low...... i know, i'm stupid when it comes to numbers. My brain just doesn't function normally and the " understand" reflex just doesn't kick in. I need private tuition which i will get ASAP.........
Irritated as it is soooo complex and complicated to get my damned printer to work, firstly it;s ot compatible to the system! and i can't work from my room because my lovely room has no internet connection! another screw up. I get internet everywhere BUT my room. Well at least i know that it CAN work. that at least i can get it to work ( i thought i was mixing a component but really wasn't )
Horsewise, still null...... but !! i did find a bus route to take to the tack shop where i can buy a new helmet!! ( ahahah ) and i;ll just need to make a few calls to some nearby stables and try to arrnage transport, ie ask ron.
