Whee. Somehow I feel that I must boast about this.
I'VE FINISHED ALL THE FIVE AQ!!
Okay, so I took two days. But its still a feat for me!
Feeling deliriously high now. So accomplished.
So far Im done with bio and GP. 3 more to go-Econs, Chem and maths in the order im gonna do it in. Chances are, by monday with luck and determination I would have finish all of my homework besides maths. Wheee.... For maths I'll just have to suffer the consequences...
Oh, and thats provided I don't continue falling sick. Last night was horrible. I wonder how I even lived through the night. For the first half of the night I was feeling so bloody cold. Shivering in fact. Then suddenly from about 3 am onwards I started feeling super warm. Felt like I was burning even. It was crazy.
My muscles are aching too...sore to the core... Bleagh. Shall relax a bit for now. Continue my homework quest tomorrow!

I just reread Twilight for the third time or so. Edward is just so perfect. I don't think anyone in this world can ever be so perfect. No wonder Bella feels that she is not good enough.
Speaking about being not good enough, why do I keep having that feeling that Im not good enough for some of you out there? My shortcomings definitely overwhelms whatever qualities I possess. Its just as well. You deserve better.
Shows how life is just so fragile. Any moment it can be taken away from you just like that. We really need to start appreciating the people around us and not take it for granted that they would be with us forever.
One more thing: I dunno who the hell Bhutto is.
Shows how limited my knowledge is. Another one of my shortcomings? Haha.
Oh, he's a former prime minister? Ah wells. A minute of silence for him.
Im still searching for my fifth article to do. Sighs. I've written 3 so far. A feat for me even though others can finish all five within less than a day. Am I slow or what?
Sheesh. Its dawning on me now! School's reopening! ARGHH
*screams and faints*
*wakes up again to do homework*
....
WHY ARSENAL DRAW??? HUH??? stupid portsmouth.

Im back from hong kong! Reached home at about 1 plus last night and we slept until 1 plus today. 12 whole hours of sleep to make up for all the loss of sleep we've had there in hong kong. Well, in order for me to remember this trip, i shall now proceed to do a day by day description of the things we did there.
Day 1:Arrived in hong kong airport at around 6 and waited for miscellaneous stuffs to be done for quite some time. During that time, we scrutinised our entire tour group...and got a little disappointed by them. The tour guide, Vincent, took us first to our hotel to drop off our luggages before bringing us to this super cold place whereby we took a boat to lama island for dinner. The journey to the island was an interesting one from my point of view. Firstly, i thought that climbing up steps of a shaky boat was rather exciting. And the higher floor of the boat provided us with a bird's eye view of the surroundings. But it was freaking cold up there. By the time we reached the dock my hands were so cold that i could hardly move it. Dinner was great! The sea food they served us were so fresh and yummy! We ate til we were so super full. On the journey back this time, we realised that all those who were on the upper deck the last time all shifted down to the lower deck(including us). I think its probably due to the cold. By the time we reached our hotel it was fairly late.
Day 2: Drats, too long ago already i cant remember
Day 3: Disneyland! that was super fun. I think my favourite was autopia. Hmmm, makes me wonder if I can become a good driver in future. The boat ride in adventureland was fun too! Plus loads of others too!
Day 4 & 5: Free and easy shopping.
Haha, there goes my detailed day-to-day description of hongkong. Initially I had fully intended to do so, but enthusiasm decreased after a while so anyone who wants to know, just refer to my sister's blog.
Oh no. School's reopening so bloody soon! I half wish we wouldnt have to return to school although I do want to see my classmates again. It cheers me up that soon I'd be able to hang out with them and goof about with them too.
Urgh. there're actually more stuff i'd want to say but it just doesnt feel right to type it all here. Some things are confusing me up more than im comfortable with.
Anyways, I just watch I am legend on monday with my sister. Will smith is a superb actor mann!! Seriously, the way he acts is so realistic that I almost feel as if Im this lonely spirit watching him surviving all alone in a world that is void of all humans, except him. I almost gave the show 5 stars, but after the intrusion of other survivors besides him, the show isnt really that nice. Somehow Will Smith seemed to be able to carry the show off all by himself.
The past few days I've been watching shows to midnight. Ella Enchanted was really funny! It made me wish that my sister was like Ella, who was granted the gift of obedience. If that is so....woah. YESSSSS I'd finally be able to have her at my beck and call!
Last night's one was Peter Pan. I finally understood why two or three years ago, so many of my classmates were swooning over him. Seriously, this peter pan was totally cute. Especially that lopsided smile of his.
Oh wells. I just attempted to do an AQ for one of my gp articles and I realised that my writing doesnt flow anymore!! There is no more fluidity to my writing and i even have the problem of stringing sentences together and getting my thoughts out in words. Oh gosh! This is scaring me. My science already cannot make it, if I still have to work on my languages im seriously dead.
Mental note to self: 1) Need to read more 2) Need to do homework 3) Need to stop procrastinating 4) Need to gain more knowledge! 5) Need to be nicer to everyone around me(Like Im not already very nice but never mind, there's still room for improvement) 6) Need to do more homework 7) Need to FINISH homework 8) Need to stop thinking about how to escape doing homework 9) Need to stop thinking about how to escape FINISHING homework. 10) Need to stop being lazy 11) Need to.....
zzzzzzz
I think the list will go on forever....

Sigh. Im sure whoever reads this will definitely know what Im about to blog about...
Its over. The camp is over and I'll have to say goodbye to all the kids and the camp leaders until fate plays a part to let us meet again. Thank goodness I still have Sheena in class to talk about the camp to next year. At least whenever I want to think of them, I can bring it up to Sheena.
The kids wrote us quite a lot of letters on friday and I was pretty touched by their gesture. There were quite a few letters written to me with the name of my partner written on it and even though it was quite obvious who these culprits were, the kids claimed incessantly that it was my partner who wrote them to me. On the letter was this poem:
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you
How sweet. Even though they penned it under a different name.
A few dirty minded little kids attempted to lift up my partner's shirt to see the colour of his underwear!! And they were, surprisingly, successful.
The concert was quite a success in my opinion and although we didnt win, the best camper came from our class! Ray. The little boy who stayed behind to help when we did a sloppy job in the packing. After the concert both my partner and I received a scolding from miss helda. I felt horribly uncomfortable under that accusing glare of her and was thankful that I was not the only one facing her wrath.
After the whole thing ended, 6 of us camp leaders went to Tampines Mall to watch the golden compass. The show was...hard to describe in one word. It made me want to sleep, it made me sit upright, it made me laugh and it made me bored. Felt like a rollercoaster ride of emotions, including those feelings not induced by the watching of the show itself.
At the end of the day, I felt really sad. No more kids to scold and laugh with, no more partner to bicker with, no more one hour bus rides, no more childish games.... Okay...it's time to start anew and rebuild my life!
Damn...this means....HOMEWORK. Which i havent even started. Even the very thought of homework just makes me weak.
Never mind, at least there is still a hongkong trip to look forward to. Speaking of which, the Service of Chan Brothers is simply horrid. HORRID. I don't think I will ever want to join Chan Brothers for any future tours again. We went there to pay the bills today and the staff there were so unfriendly and blackfaced. When my mom asked the girl a question, she didnt even reply!!! I was shocked at their attitude! And the way that girl spoke. Oh my, she sounded so impatient with us! AND to add to all the bad points, she hardly knew her stuffs! I hoped she sensed my sarcasm when I thanked her after her service. Perhap this is a case of internal diseconomies of scale whereby such a large company like Chan Brothers are unable to control the quality of their service by the workers, hereby resulting in the unhappiness of us customers and no consumer satisfaction. Bleaghhhh.
Okay, maybe I shall go find some homework to do. Have been feeling super guilty for not doing anything.

I went to watch Enchanted yesterday with Sam and Hui fang. Was pretty hyped up bout it at first, but the rain dimmed my mood.
We almost decided not to go, until Sam realised that her parents would fetch her there. By the time we got round to having dinner, all we could settle for is a pathetic meal from mos burger, standing at a table for survey forms to be filled since there are no more seats in Mos Burger.
Enchanted was hilarious at parts, sweet in just the right dose but yet unrealistic and too fairytale-like. But then again, its a disney show and all about "happily ever after" endings.
Today was a generally uninteresting day since whatever the kids do are so expected that Im no longer amused, or taken by surprise by what they say. I was just hoping that the little girl will turn out to be some stalker of my partner so that there is at least something interesting to see.
Oh, and the world is so full of coincidences. Turn out that cute little Samuel is actually the neighbour of my third aunt!! LOL. Know what this means?? I might still get to see him after the camp is over!! Yeayy...hahahaha
dang. Tomorrow is the real last day of my discovery camp! :( I remember two weeks ago I was still wondering whether I had made the right choice by deciding to go so far to Tao Nan to work. But now, Im really quite glad I chose to do so!
Sighs. All good things have to come to an end.

Today we went for an outing at seletar reservior again. I tell you, Im really getting sick and tired of that place, though it does bring back memories of the first batch of kids. In fact, I did everything the same as what I did last week. I sat at the same spot, ate at the same spot and stood at the same spot in the tower.
All for the hope of reliving memories.
We finished every experiment in record time today and there were quite a lot of time for the kids to slack around in class. And this extra they used to talk to us. About the usual stuffs...
Kid(to my partner): Do you have a girlfriend? partner shakes head. kid: Isnt it that person beside you? (damn, I have no name, just known as "that person beside you..yeah yeah thanks mann...) Partner shakes head vigorously. Kid:*Wags finger annoyingly at us* Are you two getting married?? Me, getting quite fed up: Yes we ARE getting married...(background, kid: SEE see? I told you..) BUT not to each other.
Another one of my smart answers. I wonder how many days is it that I can keep coming up with such "smart" answers. And I also wonder how many versions of the above would come out of their mouths in the days to come. Its really getting irritating. Those questions come so often, its not even awkward when they ask anymore. We're totally immune to it.
Today's game time was a total flop. We played Ice and Water as usual, but much unhappiness were present. The girls claimed that the boys were not playing fair, while the boys claimed that the girls were not playing fair. I got so bloody irritated by them that I yelled at them. Finally I understood how people could really cry with angry. I was on a verge of tears while telling them off. Hopefully, no one noticed that.
Later I gathered a small group of kids who didnt want to play catching anymore to play Murderer together with me and my partner. Sadly, although it was such a fun game, the kids didnt really get it. :(
I cant believe that during all the free time we had, I didnt get yan ming to tell me all the ghost stories which occurred in hwa chong! Dang, wasted all those time where I could have unearthed more interesting stories.
As usual, our class's cleaniness was among the lowest. We do need to get the kids to clean up more often.
Damn. There's only 3 days left to work. Why does time pass so fast???? Im already beginning to have a sinking feeling...the feeling of loss. Forget it. These things happen often, I just have to learn to deal with this.
Okay I'll brace myself for tomorrow...

Today we met with the new batch of kids. Somehow, I don't feel as attached to this group as compared to the first group, although they are quieter and definitely moreobedient.
The new batch has more boys than girls. Maybe it plays a part in me feeling less attached to them?
We played the same old game for ice breakers again. The masking tape game with everyone squeezing to remain in the square. I quote from the kids: How does squeezing together like that help us get to know each other? Its so dumb.
I TOTALLY AGREE.
Later on the kids were given a chance to ask as many questions as they want to us, the camp leaders. As predicted, the boyfriend girlfriend question came up quite a few times.Other questions include: Where do you stay? What are your hobbies? Do you own a car? What is your favourite colour?(To which I answered BLUE and my partner said BLACK...and it adds up to be BLUE-BLACK!
A little girl zhen ying seems to be quite attached to me, considering the fact that she constantly wants to partner me even on the first day and loves to hold my hand. Thank goodness her choice of attack(poking in the ribs) is diverted to yan ming instead, since she thinks im too nice to be poked. Haha.
Except for the one time... ZY: I wanna poke some one.... me: Who do you wanna poke? *glances at partner meaningfully* ZY: Guess who? me: Aiya, I no need to guess also know liao...its him la! *nods pointedly at partner* ZY: *giggles and poke me hard in the rib* me: *screams* Yan ming: *sniggers*
Surprisingly this class is super efficient in carrying out experiments and we've completed everything in today's module before even 4 o clock! Which only signifies one thing...more time to play!!!
As expected, the kids wanted to play Ice and Water. Dang. And our teacher came up with a stupid rule including safe zones! And you can be sure that many cheating cases appeared...yan ming got himself surrounded by 3 or 4 little girls throughout the game, all wanting to either poke him or catch him. But according to him, they were "attracted to him like magnets"...
Ah wells, I shant say much bout that daring statement of his...
Today when i came home i received a letter from Kay. She actually wrote me a letter! And not only that, she enclosed a soft toy dog in addition to the one she already gave me that day!! Im so touched by her gesture! And she has made it certain that I would have no excuses not to reply to her as she added several stamps in the letter too. Plus a pending invitation to her bbq as well as her email address, home number and handphone number. She's really such a sweet and dear girl.
I saw Beverly and YuYing today in Sheena's class! Hope they were enjoying themselves...im really missing them after they left...especially Janelle and Wei Tze and all the rest...Damn. Why didnt I take more photos of them????
Alright, since its pretty late now, I shall go to sleep. Dream of the kids. Wake up tomorrow morning to take a bus. Reach Tao Nan and see the new batch of kids again. Hope that I will start to like them more.
zzzzzzz
its really tiring

Ah, I just remembered that day when we went to catch insects, Yang dingg told me that a certain type of ants which they caught were called "trap-jaw ant". And that kind of got my jaw trapped. A young girl like her knew and I didnt! Im in awe..
Oh yes, and after the crocodile farm visit, each of got got a lovely crocodile teeth necklace!
The Croc farm visit was rather interesting since its the first time I went there and we learnt quite a lot about crocodiles! Their eggs, when incubated at different temperatures, will be male or female crocs respectively! At 31 to 33 degrees or something it'll be females, then higher temps will be males if I remember correctly. Wow. That means that we have the power to decide the gender of the crocs!
Im kind of regretting that I didnt try to carry that baby crocodile in my hands now. Im sure that would be an interesting experience. But never mind though, I could always try again next week since we'd be going there again. This time, it wont be as interesting as the first though:(
Yesterday was one of the latest days ever. We left the place at around 7 plus when the school was all dark and gloomy and menacing. No wonder schools are so scary at night. you'd never know what is lurking behind those shadows and whether there are people or things hidden in those dark classrooms.
Haha, I realised that my blog is totally focused on the kids now.
Random: I wanna watch Enchanted!!!! Damn. Everyone has watched it already and I've nobody to watch with....haiz, how sad. Anyway, i went to cash in my cheque today! Feel slightly richer now although, yeah, im still considered rather broke if you look into my piggy bank. A cheque may be money, but its not cold hard cash. When I looked into my piggy bank, it certainly doesnt look any richer. BUT it makes me feel better when I start spending money...
First I must find some time to shop.
Haha. Okay, im off to my cousin's party soon. She just gave birth to a baby!
