Entry for 16/4/12 to 22/4/12

Late entry again. Ha ha! Sorry Pn. Monica.:( Last week or rather last weekend was exceptionally busy for me. First of all, I went to FRIM last Saturday. This trip was organized by the school's Science and Maths society. To tell you the truth, that trip to FRIM was my first school trip and it was so much FUN...and tiring. We hiked for about 3 hours in the forest. Thankfully, we had a guide, Dino, to show us around FRIM. He told us amazing facts about FRIM and pointed out some of the plants there such as the Liana tree, 'Tembaga Suasa' or Crinum asiaticum, 'Jelutong' or Dyera costulata and Ficus or Ara tree. We also saw the giant fish or arapaima and apparently it comes when it hears clapping. While Dino was showing us all of this, I was busy taking pictures and writing(well, typing actually) notes as instructed by Pn. Lim, our teacher advisor because this trip is suppose to be educational and we have to hand in a report about it in two weeks time. The most exciting part of this trip was the canopy walk. I have this little fear of canopy walk because a long time ago, I went to Bukit Bendera with my cousins and when we were on the canopy walk, they jumped on it making it sway. Despite that, I went on it so I would spoil the trip for everyone. The person in charge told us to walk in groups of five. Our group was the last to go but I was the first one in the group to get on the canopy walk. At first it wasn't so bad, but when I reached the second part of it, the wind blew and it started to sway! I quickly walked to the next platform. Miraculously, I manage to brave through it all. We reached school about 1.50. I got off the bus and walked to the nearby park with my friends to do our project. We finished around 3.45 and I went back to the music school as I had choir practice. My legs started to hurt after that due to our long hike in FRIM. Ok, I finished talking about Saturday. Now, about yesterday. My legs were still hurting but it was not as bad as the day before. My mum and I got to the music school around 2.00 to make sandwiches before our last choir practice for our performance in Sunway Pyramid. We made sandwiches because there were small kids singing with us and we figured that they were going to get hungry sooner or later. Anyway, we had our practice then left for Sunway Pyramid around 6.30. My stepdad had to bring our electric piano there because the people organizing the event could not provide a piano.O.o We performed at 8. It was so nice and entertaining to see and hear the small kids sing. Their voices are so small and cute! Their parents took a lot of pictures and videos as this is the first time their kids performed with us. We had better microphones than the last performance so the audience could hear us sing. According to some, the sound was much better this time. I don't know, I couldn't really hear myself sing on stage. There were no speakers facing us. After the performance, we went to Aunty Anne's to eat pretzels! That's all for now.

Entry for 26/3/12 to 15/4/12

I haven't been posting my entries for two weeks now because of several reasons. Firstly, a week after the drain incident, I had wind in my stomach for a whole day and could not go to school on thursday. I was a bit worried that my class teacher might not accept my letter on a friday but she did so my name was not called during assembly on monday(*phew*). Then, just last week, I caught a cold right after school on tuesday. I skipped school the next day. I went to school on thursday thinking that I was well enough but I had to go home early as I was still coughing really badly that I could not breathe properly for a while. I think is because I was in the hall during the first period and it was quite stuffy in there. Anyway, one thing happened after another so that is why I was unable to post an entry for the past two weeks. In addition to not feeling well, I am also very stressed up due to our funds for our pages in Nostalgia. I am in charge of making friendship bracelets and I am also helping Susan with her beaded animals. The order forms for the bracelets were only distributed yesterday, about 2 weeks after I got the strings. So, I can't start making the bracelets because eventhough I have the strings, I do not have any orders yet and according to Yi Lin and Mun Yan, I do not have all of the colours to make the frinedship bracelets. Mun Yan went to buy the rest of the strings today. Hopefully, I will get all the colours by tomorrow. I am getting really worried whether or not I have enough time to finish making all of the friendship bracelets. Well, the good thing about this month is I get to look forward to my Science and Mathematics club's FRIM trip next Saturday followed by Perfect Pitch Choir's performance that very same night in Sunway Pyramid. I hope I  will be well enough then to attend the FRIM trip as well as sing for the choir. Wish me luck! It is going to be quite an eventful month!

Unlucky day:(

I am posting my entry early this week because I have to talk about the unlucky things that happened to me yesterday or I would just scream. Anyway, I accidently fell in the drain after St. Johns yesterday. Someone shifted the drain cover to the side and the drain was exposed. As usual, I was not aware of my surroundings so I did not realise the drain cover was not there and my whole left leg went into it. I was shocked to find myself suddenly on the ground and my foot twisted and stuck. Luckily, my friend, Yvonne, was there and she helped me up. At first, I could not get my foot out so I had to take my foot out from my shoe and later wrench the shoe out from the drain. The whole time I did not feel any pain except numbness where my leg made impact with the drain. But, as I slowly walked to the gate, pain started to spread through my leg. I told my stepdad about the incident. When I got back to my mum's music school, the part of my leg which hit the drain was swollen. It was so swollen it almost looked like another knee. My mum had to rub counterpain onto the swollen area for me. Towards her last lesson, she put cold and hot cloths onto the swollen area. She alternate between the hot and cold cloths repeatedly. As if that wasn't enough, I went home to find my house and other houses within the area had a power outage so I had to walk around with only small candles to illuminate the house. The power only came back after midnight. The only good that came out of this was I did not need to do my fitness test today. The swelling has gone down but my leg still hurts and my foot hurts too when I lift it up so I can't run.

Entry for 12/3/12 to 18/3/12

Wow, it's sunday already. Time flies so fast. Holidays are coming to an end.:( *sigh* This holiday was not so bad. I went to watch lorax with Jia Yih, Susan, Pei Qian and Hannah at cineleisure on wednesday. We wanted to watch seefood at first but we decided with lorax in the end. I found the movie quite entertaining, cute and random. Random as in the trees look like a big ball of fur stuck on a trunk and the people in the movie randomly get up and start singing. Putting the randomness aside, the movie actually carries a message about the plight of the environment, how us humans being greedy can affect the environment greatly. And not in a good way. After the movie, we walked around curve and ikano power center for a while. I also got to see Susan's and her sister's GUINEA PIG! Their names are Oscar and Oreo. They are sooooo cute! We petted them then Pei Qian played with Susan's dad's cute and colourful frog. I'm not much of a frog person so I just watch her play with it. Well, I better go to sleep now seeing as tomorrow is the first day of school. AAAAHHHH!!!! EXAM RESULTS TOMORROW!!!!*sigh* Well, that's it for now. Till the next entry:)

Freeeeedom!

Exams are over! Yaaaaaay!:) Finally, I thought it would never end. Eventhough it was just a monthly test, everybody took it really seriously. I think I might flunk my physics.:( Well, it's all over. Don't need to worry about anything now except what to do during the holidays beside my essay and project. Hmmmmm........ maybe I should go through my music theory since I have forgotten almost everything that I have learned(my last exam was six years ago and I haven't done theory since). Don't want to teach my student the wrong thing. I should probably practice my violin more as well. I haven't been practising for a month now and i think my teacher is slightly frustrated that I can't play my song perfectly especially the parts where I have to shift position eventhough she doesn't show it. I have been playing violin for a year and i still suck.......yup I definitely have to practice more. Well, that's all I have to say.

WE WON!

For this week, I have nothing much to say except we won the drama competition! Yaaay! That was the only exciting thing that happen this week unfortunately. Exams start tomorrow. *sigh* So here I am studying last minute AGAIN when I should have started 2 weeks ago which was when I originally planned to study but due to my laziness and procrastination, I only started last wednesday. I have only studied biology, history and a bit of add maths so far. I don't know how I'm going to pull through this exam. Well, I better get back to studying. Till next time!

Drama

Finally, another busy week has passed and here I am sitting in front of my dad's computer typing in this week's entry instead of using my iPod touch which means I don't have to squint while typing my entry. So many things happened this week like the go green hunt and merentas desa but the most exciting thing was our drama competition. At first I thought I didn't need to do anything as Yi Lin said there were enough people helping to make the props. But then a few weeks before the drama competition, she informed Susan and I that we are going to be part of the play. Basically, we had to carry the props to and off the center of the stage. Our props consist of  a cardboard cross, "buildings","machines", trees, flowers, a bush, baju kurung skirts as the river, a cardboard tv and plants. I had to pester my mum for plants. I'm not much of a plant person but in the end I ended up like my mum. For the whole week before the competition, I just took care of my plants and I almost neglected my homework. Luckily, none of them died except for one but I manage to replace it before Thursday. Ok, I'm typing too much about my plants. Anyway, back on topic, I'm not the sort of person who is active in school but I'm glad that I had a chance to play a part in our class drama. I was so scared that I will forget which prop to put on stage before which scene on that day. In the end, I'd only forgot one part. I had to take back the plants before the scene where Bridget breaks the news to Vladimir but Susan had to take it back for me since I forgot(I'm sorry Susan!) I had a lot of fun working together with the actors especially the people who were involved in props and they are Yi Lin, Susan, Jia Hui, Hui Qing, Chai Lee, Vin Sze, Edalene, and Huey Xia. I really admire Carmen's leadership skills and her ability to bring all of us together to make this play a success. I also admire Yi Lin's art skills and the time she spent on the props. Lastly, I admire the actors who worked hard memorising their lines and my other classmates who were the audience supporting and cheering the actors on. I hope that we will win the competition because all of us really gave a hundred percent to make this play a success.
