Tried to write a letter; In ink
I've got a piece of paper; But it's Empty Tuesday, January 26, 2010
now, what did i do today? seriously, i can suffer from single-day amnesias sometimes. have you ever sat down and tried to recall what had happened in the day, and then realised that you cannot remember nothing? shocking, isn't it? but it happens. well, we kicked the day off with gp compre test. i apologise if i didn't warn you beforehand never to pace yourself according to my speed. famous (ok exaggeration intended) for spending 70% of the time on short-answer questions, 10% on summary, then the last 20% on whatever i can think of for aq. you're bound to get a cardiac arrest if you have a weak heart when i speed up suddenly towards the end. so yeah, beware. haha :p haven't done a comprehension paper in a long while. but i'd say the test was alright (: econs lecture. as chengyan coined it, the "w-heat" teacher managed to keep most of us awake until the point when she gave us 5min to do the lecture exercise. then she lost me. aww :x haha! whoops! chem lecture. the audi was like a freezer again. is this like some endurance test or something? or did the school administration overestimate our ability to withstand the cold? lol (: i don't remember when claudia started getting high. but she disfigured my chem notes with her alien talk. OH i promised to scan it, but i still don't know how to use the scanner. fail. :/ anyway, she wrote a huge chunk of nonsense until one of the exercise questions. russell saw and he was like "woah you wrote the answer already". then i showed him the paper and said "yea, and my answer says: hello! i'm claudia and i come from outer space..." LOL. wait, and what's the newly-found Law of Claudia again? "claudia>xinying" i can't remember the front part. someone refresh my memory. where's the "history" button? omg. :p math test. i'd have had a million blanks if not for phuong ha. fails, i need to get my maclaurin's right :x oh yea, that reminds me. phuong ha, i want the new fac shirts too (: if you ask me what i remember most for today, it'll invariably be commserve. tell you what, we've been notified way before time that there'll be 5 interactors heading down for commserve (we always say 1 too many, now it's 3 too many LOL :p). then yesterday, cherng yew asked who can stay till 6.30 because 1 of the 2 teachers will be absent today. we hadn't heard about any response from cherng yew (well, nothing much can be inferred from his "i think our i-group members are all very nice people" other than that everyone had agreed to stay back.) but reality spoke for itself. we had a total of 7 interactors + 1 senior (boon yang). it had the semblance of a mini i-group gathering LOL. but it's pretty fruitful cos we could really pay attention to 1 or 2 children for most of the 3 hours, instead of running around all the time. it's like, there was time to chat with the kid as well as follow him/her through all her assignments of the day. the flow of work is much smoother like that, because kids take time to get to know you and be comfortable with asking you questions (especially i was taking this new girl jiayee today.) she draws really well. like really really well for her age. and she was employing techniques that i don't even know (though my parents were artists D:) the bus journey home was epic. i still can't believe i took 2 whole hours to reach home. peak hour jams are really scary, there was one time when the bus barely moved 500m for 15 minutes near the school area. SCARY. haha! friendly match tomorrow! whoots (: xinying ploughed through her empty list at 11:17 pm

friday. a week has flown by. it's amazing how i didn't notice it until i saw my fb status "xinying chen wonders if she's crazy" dated last saturday. and as my good friend has coined it, it hasn't been a "very normal week". x) well, no one had expected it to, anyway. so i guess we should be glad we had gotten by on fairly mild terms. (: friday's bridge was epic. practice was normal. then we did really well for the first few boards of team match. there were hiccups here and there, like how i took a 4th suit force (which supposedly asks for 3-card support in partner's suit) as just game-forcing (which is ok.) then i anyhow seek slam and ended up putting yifei in a 5NT that's almost impossible to make. D: well, that's if not for daren's self-endplay and self-triple squeeze, it'll never have been made. after he'd done that, he threw down his cards and claim lose all lol. daren is so crazy! so that's a very good score :p suddenly from board 6 onwards, i got really tired and couldn't even differentiate 3S from 4S. so to cash or not to cash after we've taken 3 tricks? i dunno. lol. fail :/ solution: write the contract as big as possible for every board. like this: 4Sx can't go wrong like that, can it? :p dinner at curry wok. sick conversations resonating everywhere, eeks. haha! but the most shocking thing i heard over dinner should be that: kah hong actually volunteered to be 花童! LOLLL, isn't that the ultimate self-ko? funny how we like to self-niao sometimes (: but well, that's what makes the conversation fun :D then just as we were chatting and eating, we realised the curry was diminishing at an amazing rate (all slapped up by yifei. sneakaye!). haha, so fun, can imagine us reminiscing about these times next time. couldn't help laughing when yuanxi was talking about some of the past lame jokes we made last time already. (: like, (yifei finishes his pepper chicken and craves for more) yifei: woah i want another plate me: (points to his empty plate) finish this one first LOL xinying ploughed through her empty list at 8:43 pm

1st gg (general gathering. lols.) in 2010! i had a good mind to pon but i went anyway. it's our first gg after all, how can i miss it? and i'd count myself lucky that i didn't! (: this is what happened. after a multitude of announcements, the president asked us to proceed towards the classrooms to meet the teachers (and we had the strictest teacher with us D: like omg, what will be the consequences if she found out that i ponned without a valid reason?!). but surprisingly, we had the most lively discussion i've seen, in the presence of a teacher. came up with quite sound suggestions for our most pressing problems. kudos to the club section (: joey was really keen on the ice cream cake (we celebrated for september to january babies today. LOLs!) and she literally gasped at the mention of it (even in the presence of our most feared teacher :D). well, she didn't suppress all her anticipation in vain. the cake was really good *smacks lips* :p bridge training wasn't very productive though, because i hardly played. and yen seow left in a huff in the middle of the second board with me. well, i guess we shouldn't be so critical sometimes. cutting comments don't reflect well on ourselves and they, of course, tend to hurt others. so yea, just hold your judgements back a bit. it ain't that difficult, really. well, i like to look at the whole picture before i make a conclusion (according to the fb birthdate app). i think it's good practice, maybe you should try that too (: OH but somehow, yifei and i bidded and made a few partials (when others would jolly well have gone to game and went -1 with those hands), both before and after interact meeting. for both boards, i had invitational hand, no better. but with distributional hand, i was considering raising to game level. then feel advised me against it (too much influence from KH, haha!). so 3H= and 3S= when it could have been 4H -1 and 4S -1 :p haha, partials pair of the day, i guess. hi fives (: ahh i miss ig6! i guess recent return to commserve and club meeting rekindled those feelings. it's been at least a month since we last gathered as a whole i-group (even now, not everyone was present! hopefully, we can have a real "family" reunion really soon). cherng yew, can you please bring another set of clothes next time? don't torture our noses Xp looking forward to sinming visit and orientation :D xinying ploughed through her empty list at 11:24 pm
7j goes bonkers
Monday, January 18, 2010
remember i was just casting doubts on my sanity yesterday? but today, it's like role reversal (or dummy reversal :)). i'm starting to have serious qualms about the class's. even sam lee HAHA. of course, craziness isn't an exclusive right of 7j. the bridge crazies actually marked out who's going to be the best men (with shaun lum as bridesmaid lols. sad life, shaun :p). and kept commenting on "flawless" defence. if only it's really flawless -.- the most epic of all is that one guy (whom i don't even know!) shouting "one fly" when i was walking across the empty left wing. seriously, i should say that the school's gone bonkers, instead. lol! OH OH! mrs lim didn't niao me at all today, which is amazing! :DD claudia became really agitated at the mention of her mr x. and she proclaimed today that the glimmer of hope between her and him has been extinguished. she seemed so adamant when she spelt "it's over". sadd. why did you upset her so much mr x? you downed a making game, you lousy! LOL! it's ok claudia, you still have us :D celebration of october to january babies! i almost forgot all about it. until i took a glimpse at my calendar this morning and realised i hadn't done my job as welfare rep D: sorry and thanks wan chu for buying the cake! it's so nice :D initially it was just for november to january babies but dewei insisted that we celebrate for him as well, though we've done so last year LOL! anyway, we found out that the whole of vanessa's pw group's bdays are grouped together. so cool :D may you guys stay bonded. happy bday sweeties! i'm kinda looking forward to h3 after today's intro. the lecturer seems very passionate about organic chemistry. (though most of us agree that he was rather lame :p) he didn't start lesson proper today, as he'd planned to though, cos everyone looked really drained after the intro. but i think he's going to be able to liven up the mood quite a bit in subsequent lectures :D organic synthesis ftw! i still love my crazy class <3 xinying ploughed through her empty list at 11:09 pm

thursday. commserve ftw (: first commserve after more than 2 months (means i missed it for the whole of hols :x)! the cohort in room 1 looked like it exploded, as the many primary ones moved up from last year to join the p2-p6s this year! ahh so fast! :D so room 1 was super noisy, but at the same time, so lively (: fun as it is, but it's not conducive for all p2s to p6s to study together anymore. so we shifted the bookshelves out of the mini library, to make space for the p2s. it's a cosy little area, but very spacious for the little kids, i guess. so nice (: so looks like the p2s have one more year to go before they can join everyone (: love feiyue bb xinying ploughed through her empty list at 10:51 pm
destination hwa chong
i love the theme! the huge balloon plane and the ship (filled with water? o.O). next time you can come by mrt when it's done! hahaha ok lame :p still, i can't help but feel that open house was quite messed up. or maybe it's just because visitors were too sparse that day. and the students who came forth to the interact booth seem to have come prepared. a few of them actually just requested for the application forms and refused to be fed any more information about the club. and guess what? we actually received 1 application form (full with a passport photo!!) within the first hour! the most shocking thing is that, he said he couldn't find the application box that we promised will be outside the interact room. O-M-G. now we know what dr. hon means by knowing exactly where you want to be LOL! (: anyway, other than that, the cca booths were empty and tour guides could safely idle around without getting caught. so why did we need so many people in school? the supply of guides totally exceeded the demand. such a waste of resources (whoops :x i was just doing econs, sorry! :p). but in a way, it was nice too, having so many people playing away in school at one go. it's like a carnival (: we bridged for the most part. victor and "the who" (coined by zhengyang, lol. since we don't know her name. and victor said it's cooler to call her that way after that, cos it's more mysterious. lol!! haha a lot of people are lamer than me recently!) anyway, they came to visit when it was near 6pm. open house had long ended, so the school was almost a ghost town by now. i wonder if he knew it was open house today. and just psychic-ed that we would stay back after that to bridge. or maybe all bridgers do that. so yea, he counted his cards right :D then came the most appalling question of the day: "what's bridge?" like !!??! you don't know what bridge is after one year in hwa chong?! and worse still if you ask me "what? you mean there's a bridge club??" LOL. keep your eyes peeled, cherng yew. hwa chong has everything, even swimming is compulsory :/ oh shaun lum told me he forgot he was sitting at the bridge booth. so when a nanyang girl asked him his cca timing, he gave her his. -.- you gave a potential girl bridger vastly misleading information! go die slum. haha (: yea so that was open house, from the bridge club's perspective. if hwa chong's your destination, welcome aboard (: xinying ploughed through her empty list at 10:51 am

first day of school! it was matthew's bday. what luck to have your bday land on school re-opening day, lol. :x anyway, happy bday (: and i heard that our new gp teacher asked you to stay behind after gp lesson on tue to give you some pressie. coolios, she barely knew us. our first impression for mrs sarah ong is good (: first day was quite a waste of time, cos we didn't do much. the class took more than half a lesson to get thermometers for temperature-taking (or rather, wait for them to be sold out. haha! so naughty! tsktsk) and farewell of mr ang was kind of boring :x but we had to line up along the road for a drive-past after that. that was pretty meaningful. mr ang was waving at us, and he had that surprised expression on his face. so funny (: then bridge the whole day away. played for a record 6 hours under freezing conditions. i got a headache halfway (though it's probably cos i haven't woken up so early in a long while. my eye bags are getting really bad from late nights :/) i p-ed li lan for one of the team matches. she was quite funny, cannot hide what she's thinking. so whatever i played, whether wrong or right, received instant affirmations. well it's not about right and wrong since she isn't able to picture what exactly is in my hand sometimes. but it's fun to watch her expressions. there's one time we defending, then when i decided to take out on the dummy's last trump, she suddenly put up her thumb and said "yes! play like that. very good very good" and went on to down the contract. lols! sometimes, i just feel like putting down a random card to watch her reaction (sounds like some teacher they were talking about yesterday :p quite sadistic x)). xinying ploughed through her empty list at 9:43 pm

[continued] chalet time! error #6: band hero was fun, though my voice was really crappy (it still is :/) (: they kept replaying love story and you belong to me, cos those are the only songs we really know how to sing. (: hannah and company kept laughing from upstairs at yifei's playing for no reason. lol, the girl gang is so cute sometimes. oh then, when joleen tried to sing, she grabbed the attention of evry single soul in the chalet unit. it's not unpleasant but it was damn low, we mistook it for a guy's at the beginning haha (: they also sang y.m.c.a. i still think the "young men" part is hilarious. it's so cheesy (: dewei and ryan tried to challenge themselves to high-pitched songs. that one was hair-raising, so we asked them to stop and they started singing the song at normal pitch, but filling it with "yifei". lol epic funniness, the pair (: error #7: shaun's wii fell twice. D: first by me, sorry! error #8: hail mahjong. linying kept showing her tiles to everyone. it wasn't intentional but everyone (even the player opposite her) can see what tiles she was picking up LOL :D beehoon was so agitated during play that she kept saying she "hate" yit khai for discarding tiles that she wanted. then at one point, she and yit khai were waiting for the same tile. then when yifei discarded it, both of them lunged forward and tussled for that one tile. hahaha. damn funny :D it's really entertainment watching them play. go people (: my beginner's luck was good (though i'm not a beginner, technically. just lost touch of it after i kissed goodbye to it more than a few years ago. still rmb i started learning using some software and played against the computer every day in p3 :p) error #9: went out to the barbaque pits bare-footed and stepped on some sharp rock on the way. my feet throbbed for 2 days after that ouchhh :/ bbq was fun (: yifei, matthew and i spent most of the time inhaling the smoke until my eyes got teary HAHA. but it's nice to bbq. always loved to stand in front of the pit more than eating, because the after-effects of eating is DDD: heaty constitution sucks (and it's especially straining, after my tummy has just gone on strike a few days ago. lol). beehoon and linying kept holding satay sticks with their mouths, pretending that they are rose stalks and trying to dance tango. the way they try to shake their head forcefully was so funny :D then the class girls kept teasing me and my bridge p, lol. 7j is so crazy :D xinying ploughed through her empty list at 10:42 pm

Tuesday, January 12, 2010
can't remember when i'd blogged the last time, but i believe it was more than a week ago :p alright updates! 7th jan day of living errata error #1: early morning bridge (: open house briefing had to land on that fateful day, so i left halfway during tm. wait was that the last board? i think it was, so no loss. but heard that i left you with a very diffcult 3nt to tackle. sorry p! but i wasn't declaring :p open house briefing. blimey, it couldn't have been more quirky. it begun 15 min late, that's ok (considering i was 10 minutes late :PPP). preston and co roleplayed different tour guides. xinyan was quite funny when she stuttered all the way (on purpose, of course). "students" ask, "so what are these (left and right wing)?" "left... and right lor, yea left and right" and then when introducing the places, she only read the first line on her script. the "students" she was leading around ended up reading the whole synopsis for each place for her. lol :D then the other girl (what's her name? stm! :X) was especially hilarious when she played an over-enthusiastic tour guide, who rattles on and on and ignores queries posed by the students. rofl! XD but well, the take-home message was clear, be passionate but don't overdo it. (: error #2: then the teacher tried to group us by birthdays. like o.O?? it caused quite an uproar amongst the students. without doubt, many tried to fake birthdays (though the teacher explicitly warned us not to, but i still heard many many shouting "so all of us february la. ok? ok!"). even we tried, yit khai wanted all of us to transform into feb babies too. then beehoon suggested joining random groups in 2s (less obvious and defiant like that. good idea, bee) (: but in the end, most of us remain rooted to our original positions. so the grouping failed. error #3: then we stoned and crapped for damn long, before realising that we were supposed to powwow ideas on possible questions. haha, so discussion failed. error #4: then before we realised it, the meeting ended. 45 minutes before designated time. epic fail :/ whatever. error #5: after lunch with bridge mates, yifei and i were supposed to hop on 66 at coro and pick phuong ha up from high school busstop. ha said she'll be at the busstop in 10 minutes. but my estimation was so bad that insisted on boarding the bus and missed phuong ha, cos she couldn't make it in time. sorry, my bad! :/ haha i need to learn time estimation, always too early or too late. not good :x but after that she was able to make her way to jurong east super fast, i suspected she Apparated there. haha! now, to chevrons! the entrance was really nice! it looks so grand, like some five-star hotel, it's hard to believe :D and our chalet unit was chenggai? all the chalet units had funny names, so nvm that. but problem is, how to find it? yit khai told us to walk straight into the pool, which made 3 of us go -.- but after wandering around the poolside, we found room chenggai directly across the pool from the entrance and could understand what he meant by walking into the pool. LOL tired. [to be continued] :P xinying ploughed through her empty list at 10:57 pm

haha operation to publish 100th post failed :/ so what now? no goal = no hope = sad life D: time for new targets (: 1. get well. i'm on a regular diet, eating small meals every 4 hours now. just had "dinner"... 2 hour ago? LOL. ok i don't know which meal is which. just hopeful that my tummy will get used to food and not throw everything out like it did yesterday. be good, tummy. i give you 糖糖 later. oh wait, you don't want food :/ - regular diet - no more junk food than a small pack of biscuits - drink lots of water 2. it's the A levels! um ok, no big goals. but revise or, at least, know what is going on for every test? no more "75% made up by xinying" for bio (= - work out how to improve each subject later? - but keep the switch for workaholic mode within reach! 3. spend more time with mum and dad. don't pay lip service. it's not enough to know, do it. raise them in real priority :D - eh, how? plan your schedule with them in mind as well. don't just leave whatever free day you have left for them (: that's really bad! tsktsk! :p - learn to switch "on" and "off" workaholic mode at will. so i can listen when they try to talk to me though i may be very engrossed in my work (: 4. cap spending. you don't have unlimited resources! :D 5. most importantly, keep the optimism burning till i think of any more~ xinying ploughed through her empty list at 6:17 pm
