`*~Blog'd~*`
*At the request of someone, I'm blogging this.*Anyway, here's a bit of news that I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to mention anywhere. But since hardly anyone visits, I should think it's safe. Miss Wee will be leaving us. Very soon. This time, last year, I wouldn't believe that I would like her. For all her faults, she really does care about us. I guess I understood that in 2006, but I didn't put her in my 'Book of Kindred Spirits' (Read Anne of Green Gables) until this year. And I was complaining about her half the time, too. It's this year that I started to like her. She's like a grand-aunt, I think. And I've never seen her un-smiling. Even when she's angry. She would (jokingly) scold us (Elliot), then go back to teaching again. Though she isn't as dear as Miss Koh (Who's also retiring, too. Argh), I wouldn't forget her.
Elliot's planning a gathering for her. Hopefully, there will be something, since half the time, our planning goes down the drain and nothing happens. Good luck to us all.
*Hols have started. I'm starting a folio of fanwork. On B5 paper. The thing is, I can't find white, blank B5s, so I resorted to used the B5 loose sheets with punched holes and lines to print out the stories. And it looks pretty good.*Recently, I watched Spirited Away. It's good, but HMC is better. But it certainly has got me hooked on it's fanfiction. Velf writes well. (Search for 'Velf' at Fanfiction.net) But most of the stories tend to follow the Chihiro abused, Haku finds her at 16 (17, 18, 19, 20), they live in the spirit world, have kids and live happily-ever-after(or not). But some are written really well. And I need something to read. My books are all out-read. I want my Maximum Ride. I want my Eclipse. I want HP 7. I want the Art of Howl's Moving Castle. Gar.*That's all, folks. And thank you, Wynne, and whoever else who faithfully tagged my board. Including '.' Hahas.

`*~Again, Back, Again.~*`
* Well, I decided to blog today because I felt that I had to. I'd asked a friend to read my blog the other time, Rachel, I think. And she was saying: 'December 4???', or something to that effect. So I decided that I'd better blog.
*As people do know, level camp'd just ended. The Year 2-Oh-Sevens went to Pulau Ubin. It was... let's just say that we were really enthusiastic. I was with group 18, and Kai was our instructor. I didn't sleep well/at all on those 3 nights. Here's why:
1st Night: Too warm, was pespiring piggishly. Woke at 4.50+- am and went to shower. Sat at a table near the lagoon with the other Elliotians.
2nd Night: Sleeping bag wet due to the rain. Had to sleep on newspapers. Couldn't drift off. Woke repeatedly throughout the... early morning. Finally gave up lying on the ground and went to shower at 5am. Sat with the other Elliotians. Tried to catch some Zzzzs. Couldn't as the 大风吹ed, made me have goosebumps.
3rd Night: Well. Surprise. The teachers had booked chalets for us. The first time of which I slept till 7.45am. Yay!
P.S. My Yeo had burned a disc full of Level Camp photos. Contact me if you want any.
*Currently, I've sick. Fever, runny nose, sore throat. That's why I came on. Slept till 7++am. Woke up, and read Bleach fanfics. I'm quite addicted to this manga/anime now. All hail Kubo Tite, Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia! Funny how most of the fanfics that I read make Rukia and Ichigo parents. But really, they're quite endearing.
*I'm still in love with Twilight, of course. Waiting and can't wait for Eclipse to be released here. However, knowing Singapore's book import system, I won't get the book till 2 to 4 weeks after August 7th. Shoot. I'm still debating whether or not to get Harry Potter 7. I think I ought to, since I've already read the series up till the last book. Oh well.
*I ought to make an iventory on the serieses that I'm currently watching. Here's it:
Bleach
Fruits Basket
Got Fangs?
Ingo(The Tide Knot, The Deep)
Inkheart(Inkspell, Inkdeath)
Pellinor(The Naming, The Riddle, The Crow, The Singing)
Twilight(New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn)
Vampire Knight
And a couple more. I do believe in the magic of series books! They're much nicer than standalone, I think.
*One more point before I end this; I'd read my backlogs, and from what I'd seen, I can infer that I was a rather emo, rant-ish, even
haughty person. If I weren't me, I would dislike myself then. In fact, I think the SteffiVersion2007 is a much nicer and cheerful person. And besides, I'm less people-shy now. That's actually
good.
I won't even be surprised that people hated the before-me. And I know that there were people who did that.
And I still believe that there are people who dislike me even today.
I mean, come on. there're always people out there that'll hate you, no matter how nice you are. And so, whatever I've said isn't something for me to be upset over. So smile.
Tschuess!

`*~ When Snow Falls ~*`
*Hello. I thought I ought to post a message here, seeing how I haven't posted for ages.
*These past few days, I've been busy playing Tootown Online (It's pretty addictive, adorable characters) and creating stuff for my Sims family, the Goldwoelfs. I'm planning to start some sory of legacy, but I'm not too sure how I ought to go about doing it. I'll figure it out later.
*Time flies past fast. There's 8 more days to go before I fly off to SoCal with my Cousin and my parents. This is my second time there, the first being when I was three. I don't remember much of the first trip, except that I has to sleep on the floor of the plane, and that my grandmother went along, also with the same cousin. I guess this is some sort of déjà vu ... Hey, the 12 'O clock bell just rang. As I've said, time flies past fast, it's already the 1st of December! Anyway, back to what I was saying... Déjà vu trip. The last time, we went to LA, LV, and SD only. Now we're also going to SF and AZ. It'll be lots of fun, I'm sure. My cousin and I are going to make a scrapbook.
*I'm getting back into the hang of blogging now, so forgive me if I type such short entries. I don't know what to write now, since I'm only been typing long-ish replies for forum threads, and not much of blogs.

~*And So, Here Arrive The Holidays*~
*Hello, all. I guess this is rather late. Okay, I'm sorry. This is VERY late. I should have been blogging a long time ago, but I didn't feel like it. Yeah. Sorry. My apologies. But I don't suppose people actually visit much, so it's somewhat a moot point. Anyway, I'm finally posting.
*First, I suppose I should say something about my results. They're okay. GPA 3.6. You know what? (I don't exepect a 'what?', of course) Now, I think this is some sort of a trend. I always seem to get good results in the end. Like in primary school, I always managed to get good grades and get to the best class etc. I'm not bragging. This is just what I think. Yups. And I'm going to 2E next year, surprise. Now, talking about results, I'm reminded of my holiday homework. I really have to start on them, if I'm to be away almost the whole of December. Oh well, I've already done a little Maths...
*Currently, I'm still infauted with Twilight and New Moon. And I've never said this, have I? New Moon's the best novel ever! And I'm crazy over Bella and Edward. I've never ever fallen so heavily for any other books, like for Twilight and its sequel. It's even probable that I may meet the author herself when I visit Arizona! Yay!
*I don't think I've much else to say, anyway. Oh yes, just a note to anyone who's interested: I'm not visiting anyone else's blog. So it's pointless to write anything about me. Yeah. And look, this is just a statement. I'm not implying that I care whether anyone writes whatever. 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words shall never hurt me'. A suitable phrase, indeed.
P.S. Wyn, you still owe me! Hahas.

`*~Croc Hunter, he was~*`
*Well, guys. I have some rather shocking news for you all. Just a few minutes ago, my Dad called and told me that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter of Australia, the host of Croc Hunter Diaries, the keeper of the Australian Zoo, has died. It's shocking, isn't it? All of a sudden... But most deaths are sudden. But I guess Steve's is sort-of expeacted. I mean, he handles wild beasts allt he time. It's surprising that he'd lived for so long. Still, it seems so... sudden. Out of the blue. I wasn't expecting it at all, really. That's why I'm blogging now. The minute I heard it, I quickly logged on to find out what happened. Here's it:
*World-renowned Australian "crocodile hunter" and television environmentalist Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray on the famed Great Barrier Reef, police said.The iconic Irwin, 44, known for his enthusiastic handling of even the deadliest of wildlife, was killed when a stingray barb punctured his chest during the filming of an underwater documentary off the coast of the northeastern Australian state of Queensland."It is believed that Mr Irwin collapsed after being stung by a stingray at Batt Reef off Port Douglas at about 11:00 am (0100 GMT). He had been filming a documentary," a statement from the Queensland Police Service said."After being stung by a stingray, his crew called for medical treatment and the Queensland medical helicopter responded, however Mr Irwin had died," the statement added.Stingrays have several sharp and highly toxic barbs on their tails that they use to defend themselves when they feel threatened."(They) are also like a bayonet, like a bayonet on a rifle," Australian wildlife filmmaker David Ireland said. "If it hits any vital organs it's as deadly as a bayonet."Ambulance service officials said Irwin had suffered a puncture wound to the left side of his chest and he was immediately pronounced dead.Police said the larger-than-life Irwin's family had been informed of his death. Irwin was married to US-born Terri Irwin and the couple had two children aged eight and three. Irwin's widow was informed of his death while hiking in Tasmania, police said.The garrulous animal-lover's rallying cry of "crikey" when faced with a crocodile, snake or ferocious-looking spider, made him an Australian icon across the world.His "Crocodile Hunter" show, in which the tousle-haired adventurer appeared in his trademark khaki shorts and shirt, was first broadcast in 1992 and has been shown around the world on the Discovery cable network ever since.His outspoken persona became so popular that he won a cameo role in a Hollywood movie, "Dr Dolittle 2," starring US comic actor Eddie Murphy.Irwin, who was born in the southern Australian city of Melbourne, was raised in Queensland by parents who owned small reptile park that he would eventually take over.The young Irwin became a crocodile trapper, ridding residential areas of their reptilian threats for a fee.Irwin's fearless approach to the animal kingdom however provoked international outrage when he involved his infant son in one of his death-defying antics.In early 2004, he fed a four-metre (13-foot) crocodile with one hand while clutching his baby son Bob in the other during a show at his Australia Zoo reptile park on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland state.But Irwin was unrepentant when confronted about the incident in an interview. "What I would do differently is I would make sure there were no cameras around," he said."I will continue to educate my children and the children of the world so they don't go into the water with crocs."Australia immediately mourned the loss of one of its best-known sons, with shocked radio listeners and television viewers calling in to express their grief and disbelief.Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, who used a photograph of his family at Irwin's zoo on his official Christmas card last year, praised Irwin, who has appeared in public service announcements and worldwide events aimed at promoting Australian tourism."The minister knew him, was fond of him and was very, very appreciative of all the work he'd done to promote Australia overseas," a spokesman said.And Queensland's Tourism Minister Margaret Keech summed up Australia's reaction to Irwin's sudden death."He's done so much for Australia and he'll be missed by the entire world," she told Sky television.
*Well. Just think of all the people he'd left behind: Terri, Bindi, Bob, his friends, the millions of viewers all over the world who sit at the TV every time Crocodile Hunter Diaries was shown and the list, surely, goes on. Now, we'll remember him as the man who shouted 'Crikey!', the man who'd helped with the conservation of animals, who'd brought a brighter future for animals a few steps closer.
*Last year, I had even been to the Australia Zoo, the 'Home of the Crocodile Hunter'. It was wonderful. The animals there, they had a good life. I still remember the kangaroos. The were let to run free a big field, and were friendly enough to allow one to pat them. The world has lost another good guy. It's the natural cycle of things, I suppose. There's a day when everyone has to die. Oh... this is just so sudden. And this is my tribute, one of the many that will spring up, over these few days. Well, Steve Irwin, where ever you are, thank you for all those wonderful afternoons spent watching you at your antics, trying to catch some reptile, showing it to your numerous fans. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

*I just visited Huiying's blog. She'd posted about today, too. Here's the link:
http://www.onezerotwo-.blogspot.com/. She won't allow me to post the post here(weird phrase), so I'll juut have to make do with giving you guys the link. Note: Huiying's post is an incredibly optimistic one. I think there must be something wrong with my '-mistic' meters today. Haiz. Nevermind.
*Note 2: I left Tao Nan quite early, so I didn't take part in the pranks.
Bunnisteffi
*I'm touching this issue again. 'Change'. The first and most obvious is the constant change of my blogskins. Most of you regular readers may have known that I don't keep skins for more than 2 months or so, hence my blog's address. I really like this current skin; It's based on Twilight, using the Lion and Lamb as figures representing Edward and Bella, from this book. I'm currently crazy(not literally, of course) over Twilight. RE: `*~The Crow~*`
*Today, I went back to my beloved Tao Nan. I realised that once you've left something, or someone, it won't be the same, as when you're absent, the things, or person change. For example, I hadn't expect to see so many changes(I'm going to repeat this word throughout this whole entry) done to the school compound. The Taonanites' PE uniforms are
very different now. The Prefects even have a (somewhat ugly) shirt with 'PREFECT" printed on it. It's rather eye-jarring. The canteen's painted pink. Several teachers aren't who they were before we left TNS. I don't recognise many of the kids there now. The most awful realisation today was knowing that when we'd left, the lives of the teachers in my old school didn't exactly end there and then, to be continued only when we returned. I know that I'm not talking sense here; I'm supposed to have understood that a long time ago. Yes, I do understand that, but it's after this visit that makes me finally
know. Makes me know that I don't belong to Tao Nan anymore, even though she still occupies a rather-large part of my heart. I can keep returning, but I won't ever be oneof the Taonanites, no matter what people say about Tao Nan being a home to us, forever. It's not possible for me, anymore. But I shall continue going back to visit Miss Koh, Chenzi and some others there, just not as often. I guess this is why most seniors don't return to their Primary schools after the 1st or 2nd year.
*Also, my ex-classmates aren't what they were. The greatest change is with the guys, I suppose. Some are much, much taller. Others have changed their hairstyles. The girls, too. Though change can't really be seen by their appearances, you can tell, from how they talk, how they react to the things you say, how they treat you. Wait... What's the point of saying all these? I can just conclude with one sentance: Everything changed. No?
*On a happier note(the above wasn't pleasant. 'pessimistic', Huiying would say), today's Teachers' Day celebration
was
wunderbar. The most interesting being the Freeze-dance game. The MCs invited a big bunch of teachers, which included the Principal, Mr Ng, our Mr Tan, Miss Wee and lots others. Mr Sng and Mr Ng were the funniest of the lot. They did some grappling thing, and when the music stopped, they had to freeze, both ended up in a rather wierd stance. Hahas. I didn't know that our Dunmanian teachers could be so funny. There were 3 dancing groups, too. The SCs have a done a good job this time, decking the hall so nicely, though the best was on Fusion Night, which was done by the Year Ones, I think. That was even nicer, with the campfire and all.
*Okies, I'm going off to do some more productive stuff now.
Tcheuss!

`*~The Crow~*`
*Just dropped in for a short post. I'm gtting back into my Twilight mode. Which means that I obssess, daily, about Twilight, New Moon, Stephenie Meyer and the Lexicon Chatroom. It seems my school-life has come to a stand-still. Or perhaps on a 'slow' mode. Every day, I'm not exactly thinking about my studies. For instance, instead of concentrating on my Chinese during classes today, I was reading Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, becasue it's a book Twilight's 3rd book would be loosely based on. It's actually not boring, as some would have thought, after you get through the initial stages.
*I will be dropping by Kino at NAC tomorrow, to buy a book I've been waiting for, the Crow. It's finally out, goody! And that's about all. Bye!

~*`ROAR, Singapura~*`
*Greetings, my fellow Singaporeans. Today, it is the eve of Singapore's national day. Today, we shall count down for the next day. For the 41st birthday of our nation. Hurray!
*To, er, celebrate this, I've spent two days poem-ing, and here's the final product:
ROAR, Singapura!
Majulah Singapura;
Onwards, Singapore!
Once the Orang Luat’s Temasek,
A fishing village on pristine sand-shores.
Then Sir Raffles’ strategic port of trade,
Ships a-coming with cloth, spices and more…
And now, a bustling hub of much,
Home to four million, our dear Singapore!
From a humble past,
Down a long, winding path,
To the new-age present
Of a new millennium.
Looking down memory’s obstacle-d lane,
We’ve achieved much, my motherland.
Majulah Singapura;
Onwards, Singapore!
Like the brightly shining stars,
Like a swiftly rising crescent,
Youthful and bright and riding the tide,
Crimson as the blood of all mankind,
Yet pure and white and free;
Arising out of the stormy sea.
A clean-and-green garden city,
A glamorous multi-racial cosmopolis;
A sunny island set in the sea.
A fruit of our fore-fathers’ toil,
A nursery for our grandchildren and children,
A place where Singaporeans are proud to call ‘home’.
Majulah Singapura;
Onwards, Singapore!
For badges you have:
The voice-soaring National Anthem,
The daily-said Pledge,
The beaming beacon of a Merlion,
The mauve Miss Vanda Joaquim,
And last but not least,
The majestic rearing Lion.
For children you have:
Ever loyal citizens from
North, South, East and West
Multi-toned and multi-religious,
All united as one undivided populace.
Each bearing the blood of ancestors from far,
Each proud to say, “I’m Singaporean, hah!”
Majulah Singapura;
Onwards, Singapore!
Stars and crescents shine on me,
Together we’ve tried,
As we stood side by side,
Turning hopes into reality,
Together we make a difference,
We’ve built a nation with our hands.
Count on us Singapore,
You sunny island set in the sea.
属于自己, 属于我们的天地, 有爱有梦有情
Thanimaiyaalae payantha naadugal
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
One people, one nation, one Singapore.
Majulah Singapura;
Onwards, Singapore!
A Singaporean Singapore:
No matter how different,
No matter how alike,
Singapore’s unique,
We’re strong, we’re bright,
Come on close to feel our might!
So Lil’ Red Dotters,
Stand united now
Like never before,
Lift your manes up,
And 1…2…3
Give a Singapore ROAR~!
*Done. Is it okay? I hope that it is. The two stanzas, starting from 'Stars and crescents...' are actually the lyrics to the national day songs sng in the past few years. And part of it's in the 4 main languages of Singapore. Appreciate, people! And love Singapore! Have fun, Lil's Red Dotters!

`*~RS Project~*`
*My apologies forthe fact that I haven't been blogging for a..g.e.s.
*Today, since I'm still sick (for those who aren't Sandy Wang, Chuo Li or one of those who have been listening to me cough, whine about my drippy nose and so on, you wouldn't know anything about this) , I didn't attend Track training. Instead, I went to Chuo's house after school, together with Kimberly, to complete our Research Studies project. And now, I'm glad to be able to declare our project officially
completed! Hurray! After slogging through it for half a year, I'm really happy that we're done with all those power point slides and reports.
*Anyway, we had quite a fun time at Chuo Li's. Firstly, we had a lunch of pot-stickers(guo tie), bee hoon, a weird dish of mushrooms, beancurd and veggies (WDOMBAV), some rather dry chicken and last but not least, jelly. No one dared to touch the WDOMBAV, nor the chicken, except for me. The WDOMBAV was quite
interesting, and since my nose is blocked, I couldn't reallly taste it, so it was just salty to me. And the chikcne was bland. I tried a piece, and didn't take any more. Chuo Li kept cracking some joke about a guy who was so fat that when he died, his coffin couldn't fit into a incinerator(it's in the news). It's not funny,
darling Chuo Chuo. We started on the RS report after that. Kimberly and Chuo Li started saying that I'm quite good at crapping, considering the fact that I was typing lengthy sentences filled with rather profound words. Well. I suppose I
do crap quite a lot, but it doesn't matter.
*Around 4.50pm, Kimberly and I walked to my house. Kimberly saw Toppy and Eveie for the first time- Yay!- and I also showed her my 13 plush rabbits. Those who want evidence that I really do have 13 toy rabbits, look for Kimberly. She's seen it with her own eyes. That was when I found out that
mein Handy was missing. I searched through my bag for quite a while before I called Chuo to ask if it was in her mum's car. It turned out that it was. Haiz. I believe I shall collect it from her later.
*I suppose it takes a visitor to visit one's house before one can start to appreciate the place one has stayed in for 11 years. That holds true for me. After Kimberly left, I looked around my living room and felt that it suddenly seemed so wide and spacious, I'm glad that my house is big. I've never really felt that way before. That's a good feeling, I think.
*Oh yes, I just saw my tagboard. I have to apologise for saying this, but let me be crude for a moment: Whoever you are who called me a slut, do you think you're much better than one, to be able to say that? Because firstly, do you even know what a slut is? Fresh out from the dictionary, a slut is: 1) a slattern. If you don't know what one is, go look up
your own dictionary. 2) a women prostitute. On the existence of my Eveie, Toppy and my 13 rabbits, I can swear that I have never slept with anyone else except for my 13 rabbits, my pillow and other what-nots. So, based on what do you call me a slut? Next, I don't even KNOW you. Or perhaps I do, but I don't make it a point to look up every anon that calls me names. Since you are so cowardy that you don't even dare to write your real name here, I will be able to say this: What have I done to you for you to call me a slut? Little idiot, either reveal who you are through email or through whatever newfangled communication device you can use now or simply
get lost. Pest.
*Okay, now I shall apologise for my callow remarks. Sorry to those who deserve better than to have to read that.
*Going off now... 1..2..3..*poof*

`*~MP3 Song List~*`

Anasatsia(the movie)- At The Beginning
Hercules- Michael Bolton- Go The Distance
Beauty and the Beast- If I Can't Love Her
John Denver- Annie's Song
John Denver- Country Road

Radiohead- Creep
Nicole (German)- Ein Bisschen Freiden
Nena (German)- 99 Luftballoons
Michael Jackson- We Are the World

(Not everything)
*I guess I'm weird. Not many people have '16 Going On 17' in their MP3s, I can assure you that, nor do they have 'Candle In the Wind'. But I really do like them. Oh well.
*I didn't go for PE today as I am coughing, sniffling and headaching. Instead, while the other girls were playing Captian's Ball(I'm pretty much sick of it. We played it
everyday after PSLE last year) , Sandy Wang, Jamela and I started playing 20 Questions. And then I found a block of wood and started pounding grass, the 大长今 way. I'm not sure if the 'jin' word is right... And after that, we had recess. Nothing much to take note of, except that I went to find Zazebelle (my nickname for Isabella) to discuss something.
*Oh yeah, Chuo Li and I were arguing whether it is the leaf or the branch of the Casuarina that can be broken apart and fixed again. I insisted that it is the leaf, while Chuo-chuo says that it's the branch. So our convo went something like this:
(At the assembly area)
Me: It's the leaf!
Chuo Li: No, it's the branch!
Me: Leaf!
Chuo Li: Branch!
Me: LEAF!
Chuo Li: BRANCH! And I can assure you that I am correct.
Me: NO! It's the leaf. Come, let me show you.
(We walk to where a tree stands, presumably, it's a Casuarina)
Me: *looks around awkwardly at the many students thronging to the Assembly Area* Okay *points to pile of brown stick-like leaves at the base of the Casuarina* Those things are the leaves. They CAN be joint together.
Chuo Li: No. It's the BRANCH.
Me: It's the leaf! Everyone knows that.
(Walk back to the Assembly Area)
Chuo Li: It's the branch! And that's final!
Me: It's the leaf. I'm right. Fullstop comma comma bang bang. (Don't ask what possessed me to say that. It's childish.
Ich weiß. )*And it didn't just end there. We had it during recess and back on Chuo Li's mum's car. Well, I'm pretty sure it's the leaf.
*I just made a pancake and pored milk all over it. It tastes weird. Not the pancake, the milk. I guess that's what one'll get if one pours the milk into the pan first, let it simmer for 10 minutes before adding it onto the pancake. If I get stomachache tonight, I'll know why.
*Okay, I'm going off now...

`*~Dee-dah-dum~*`
*Hello folks! Firstly, I've messages for some people.
Shiying: You're welcome! I believe there would have been more names on the card, if we had gone round to get more. Jiayou!
Suqin: Okayokay, I shall come with you on Friday, porvided if I have time. I need to study for my Chinese, which is next Wednesday, so I'm not sure if I can come.
Joanne: John Denver sings quite a few songs. There's my favourite, Annine's Song and the more popular one, Country road. But now, my 2nd favourite is Lullaby, Goodnight My Angel, but Billy Joels. Um... I listen to oldies, I know. But sometimes, they do sound nicer...
Yuhding: I will NOT tag you. Tagging's for special occasions, only. So there. Please don't be offended. And this is normal Steffi behavior, apparantly.
*Okay. Anyway, I went to watch Pirates of the Carribean 2 yesterday, with Wynne, Nick, Koko and Jiru at Suntec's Eng Wah Cinemas. And I'm now officially broke, thanks to
some people who insisted on having popcorn. It emptied my wallet, literally. The show's quite good, but Chuo Li said that the 1st episode's nicer. I didn't watch the Black Pearl, so I can't say anything. After that, I went with my parents to fetch my Grandma and we went to eat at the NTU's canteen. I had economical rice (I believe it's called that). I don't know why I chose to have the fish. It's supposed to be freid, I believe, but they put gravy onto it, leaving a soggy rice-flour crust with
a very thin slice of fish. Eurgh. And after that, we sent my Grandma to my aunt's house.
*Today, I found out that Chuo Li actually sleeps for FIFTEEN hours. FIFTEEN!!! I mean, which Year 1 sleeps for 15 hours??? I haven't been sleeping early for ages. The earliest would be 11pm, every night. It's not that my mum's keeping me up to do work, but I have to, always, pick up a book and by starting to read it, I'm immediately leaving myself with only 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Haiz. It's an incurable habit, but nevermind... The point is that today, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. They were so irritatingly tired. After recess, we did a chinese composition; 一个身边熟悉的人. I wrote about my mum. The second sentance I wrote was: 过了十四年一个月(十三年四个月家我在她肚子里的那段时间),她没有离开过我。 I think I'm awfully weird. I mean, which silly will write things like that??? I believe there's only me. Hahas.
*By the way, Shan-di-wang has coined the phrase: ...and this is normal Steffi behaviour. PLEASE! I mean, is there an official guideline of which I follow? No?! If I embarrass you, just say so! You don't have to keep going on saying that! Okay, okay. If singing and being weird is normal Steffi behavior, then lots of people behave in the Steffi way, no? Where's the logic???
*OKies, going to do other stuff now. Auf Wiedersehen!
Beware of water. Fool with her, and you shall drown, and her memory of you would be like your remians, sinking deep into the water-bed. But treat her nice, and she'll keep you, safe. Both ways, there's no seeing the surface, ever again, without losing something precious of yours.

`*~Goodnight, my Angel~*`
*Yesterday was quite fun. In the morning, I went for tuition at Rocher, then I bought 6 light-sticks, a Wizard's pointed hat and black balloons. You see, we woudl be celebrating Jiru's be-lated 8th birthday( 7th July) and it's Harry Potter themed. After that, my parents and I went to Marine Terrace's Bengawan Solo to get a Black Forest cake. And for Jiru's gift, we got 2 Pokemon Adventures comics, number 4 and 5.
*That evening, we went to my Grandma's for dinner and the party. I drank sparkling grape juice! I guess it tastes a little like wine, but with next to no alcohol. All throughout the meal, my third uncle( Koko and Jiru's dad) kept gong on and on about rabbit meat. As if he doesn't know how I feel about that! So I joked around with him. He said that fishball was made of rabbit meat I contradicted him and tol him it was
fish. For heaven's sake! And at my house on Friday night, he kept asking if Toppy and Eveie are ready to be thrown into the stewpot. -_-
*Then the Harr Potter party started. I had Angie to bring the HP Sountrack, so we had 'Hedwig's Theme' played throughout. The party itself was like a quest. The main highlight was the study room. We stuck cellophane paper to the lights, so the lights were dimmed red. It really was dun! I have to go now. Dad's nagging. Bye!

`*~National Finals~*`
*Today, I got to get out of school(otherwise known as 'escape from Xiexie and Miss Wee') early, at 1pm. A group of us Trackers took a bus that brought us to Chua Chu Kang stadium. Upon reaching there, we dilly-dallied before finally entering the stadium. While waiting, I passed around a sheet of paper with the heading: Reasons why we're at CCk Stadium(besides supporting SHiying). And I'm going to summarise the answers.
*
What they wrote:To support Shiying(or anything along those lines): 8
Miss ACC Test/ ACC: 3
Miss Maths: 1
Miss Science: 2
Miss Geog: 1
Miss Art: 1
Miss RS: 5
Support PL: 1
Miss HCL: 1
Miss Just feel like it/ Time killer: 3
Look out for more pretty girls: 1
*Mr Siva and Cikgu Noorizan looked at it and shook their heads. I can imagine why. Then Siva bet us a hundred dollars that if we gave the same thing to the Pl-girls, the answeres would be different. Well, let's just say that same people may have to cough up some money tomorrow(that is, if Siva's serious about the bet). Anyway, here are the 3 answeres provided by PL: We're here to support our runners/ We love it/ We love PL Track Team. This is miserable. By comapring the both sheets of peper, you can see a black-white contrast. And guess who's black. And here's my message to Shiying: Cheer up! Bounce back up again!
*Anyway, my dear cousins, Koko and Jiro are coming back to Singapore tonight. Hurray! But I won't be going to welcome them, as it will most likely gonna be late.
*I'm going to cook dinner for my family today! It's going to be Mi2 Fen3 with tinned stewed pork, cabbage and mushrooms. I saw mmy aunt cooking it the other time and I'm quite sure I know how to do it. *nods*
*Well, going off now...

`*~The Twilighter-to-be~*`
*Dear everyone, today, I sigh when I see the number of viewers to my blog. The amount's pitpful. Seriously, I don't kknow why I continue typing and typing, when next to no one comes here. I sigh.
*I shall not waste this entry with all this lamenting, now. Just now, I went to look at what the astrologers have predicted. My sun sign looks good, I guess... OKies, I know there are some out there who do not believe in Sun signs whatsoever, but I'm telling you, no matter whether you believe in them, or not, the predictions happen. It is best to know what might and could happen, at least you have some precautions.
'It's better to be safe than sorry' I hope this helps.
*Soon, my cousins from Japan will return to Singapore. I'm hoping to turn Koko into a new Twilighter. We need more to add to our ranks, us Twilighters. (Defination: Twilighter, noun, One who has read the book Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer) There are too few here in Singapore. And it's also always good when my dear cousins return, Jiro and Koko. I've heard that Wynne and Angeline are planning a Sentosa outing. That's great. I do like going off the mainland.
*So far, I've written 8 poems this year. That's a record, if I've ever even made one... Hahas. Anyway, I seem to like writing poetry now. I suppose that's another good thing.
P.S. I've now added an Archive. If you would like to view old posts, feel free to do so. I'm glad that there are those who're interested in readung about past happenings.

`*~A Poem to Miss Koh~*`
*Greetings, people. Not that there are many who visit, anyway. I've written yet another poem ("AGAIN???" I hear some of you groan). THis is dedicated to Miss Koh, who has done so much for us. I'm giving those who come online a sneak preview of it. Not the whole thing, though.
Hier ist es:Of Grammar, Lemon Soup and Lollies
By Steffi Koh
The memory of a dear teacher’s still fresh,
Though more than a half-year has passed.
It seems like only yesterday
When she first stepped into my class.
As she snapped out words of grammar,
We all wondered who’d set on us such a terror.
Eyes wide, we listened attentively,
While deep inside we cringed fearfully.
But as time flew by at a cheetah’s pace,
We learnt by degrees
That the “monster”, in fact,
Was more “fairy-godmother” than “wicked-witch”.
Also things that redeemed her in our eyes,
Were the numerous ice-lollies,
Plus the other gifts and candies
And, too, the good times we’d had.
Moreover, I remember of
The quaint recipes we received
Such that lemon soup was eaten with rice
And scarlet red tomatoes had sour plums inside.
Forthwith I shall gladly reveal
Who our great teacher dear is,
And that is Miss Judy Koh, naturlich
Of whom I wax lyrical with so much relish.
* This is just a fragment of what I've written. Only six out of the total fourteen stanzas. Oh yes, I was told by Miss Wee today that my poems are wonderful. I suppose to me, that's her redeeming trait. She is able to praise one so well, that sometimes, the irritating part of her is diminished. For now, I am able to think of LA periods without cringing. In fact, I guess I'm, well, waiting
longingly for one. Hahas.
Cheerios, I'm off now!

`*~TLC-ers~*`
*I am currently chatting with the Twilight Lexicon-ers, again. For some reason, I love being with them!. They're great, truly. I'm not trying to imply that the people around me are wimps, but I do want a change from having to talk to people I see everyday.
*Anyway, we just finished the IDMI presentation today. I think we did okay. I think. Hahas.
*Since I've posted this blog message, I suppose I won't stop writing entirely. Hopefully. OKies. Going off now...

*Dear all, I apologise for not blogging for such a long time, but I haven't been in a mood to. Much has happened, of course, but I won't start typing everything out. If I don't continue within 2 weeks, you can, more or less, assume that I've dis-continued this blog.

*Scroll down until you see 'Budding Writers Project'. Read it. Wahahahaha. 'Steffi Koh Min Xuan'. Yups. I'm trying not to boast now. Anyway, I wrote 'The Bunniography'(surprise?) and got Top 18 Finalists.


*Above are photos from when we went to the Zoo. Denise, Heke and her sister, Wynne, Zi Ping and me. They aren't clear, I know.

`*~Twilight~*`
*I visited here today. I got a shock. I didn't know that so many people had access to my tagboard. Or did they visit the Twilighter's Homepage? I've no idea. And I don't want to know. I'm going to remove the password to this blog, so that everyone can visit. At least people can see my masterpiece. So taggers, beware of what you write...
*Just now, I'd visited the Twilight Lexicon Chatroom. And guess who I chatted with? Stephenie Meyer! I told her that I would probably get to USA in December, so she offered to meet up! Yay! I hope to get New Moon by then, so I can ask her to sign it. And I will have to make a Christmas gift, too. I'm planning on painting a 'Lion and lamb' scene. I wonder if I can do it...

`*~Rollerblading~*`
*Yesterday, I woke up and feeling rather bored, I took up Mapling again. It actually isn't that bad. I mean, I found a new friend to party up with. (The 'party' here isn't
that kind of party) I think I'll Maple after this.
*Chuoli called me around 10 something, so I went to her house to do Maths with her. I believe I need all the help I can get. My Maths is horrendous. I don't even know where to put the '-' and '+' for Algebric equations. Haiz. Anyway, I went home for lunch. Don't ask me what I ate. You just have to know that it isn't Maggi Mee nor sandwiches. Hahas.
*After that, I bladed all the way to ECP to meet my cousin and her friends. I thought I wouldn't be able to go, because of the fact that the clouds haven't been working for me for two days. In other words, it was
raining. But since the rain stopped(for a while) I went as fast as I could. The good news was that Wynne's frineds were Denise and Hwee Kee. I knew them, even though they're, what, 16? We had a lot of fun, I think. (Note: It's 'a lot of fun' , not 'very fun' according to my old English teacher, Miss Koh) Wynne's skate-straps broke while we were blading halfway, so she rented a bike like Hwee Kee and Denise. Yup, I was the only skater. But it was okay. We even went to one of the jetties and started playing around.
Then someone started making theories about why strands of our hair were sticking up. Denise's looked the most interesting. She looked like Medusa, only change the snakes to hair. Her hair was flying
upwards.... Hahas.
Okies, now for the bad news: It rained while we were making it back to the Macdonald's area. I mean, really rained. I was soaked through. But still, I had fun. Denise and Hwee Kee bought a 20 piece nugget box. Crazy them... hahas. Anyway, aftr everything ended, I went to my cousin's house.
*I have to add this: I borrowed a book titled 'Rosie Dunne' or 'When Rainbows End'. I was wonderful. I finished it in 1 night. I think I may review it later. Okies, bye!

`*~Grrrr~*`
*This is my last post for today. I've thought it over le. This holiday, I'm going to just go for trainings. Keep on going all those I can go for. The moment nationals are over, byebye. I want to get out. Perhaps Track is just a shelter. I'm just there to wait out until I can get into another CCA. At first, I thought I would just give Track a try. It turned out that it didn't work. Sorry(It's to aplogise for whatever I've made people think). I used to be enthu. Why? I don't even know myself. I don't even know why I didn't go for guides. Maybe it's more fun there, with more people. Track's like, all the same faces every training? I don't know. I really want to get out. It's not just the trainings, it's the people inside. The whole team's so cliquey. Perhaps people outside Track can't see it. Everytime, it's the boys+shiying, lefteoverboys, some sec2s, some sec3s, then us sec1s. And the sec1s are divided, sometimes. Grrrrr..... And Mr Lim's more concentrated on the other schools and the pro seniors. My cousin trained under him last time(she's fromPLprimary). I wonder how she could take it. She was in her team for 2 or 3 years, I think. Haiz.

*Well... If you've looked at my tagboard, you'll know why I'm not-so-happy now. Actually, I'm not just 'not-so-happy'. How can you be when someone's insulted you, albeit impersonally? Since they will be happier when they see us gone, I will be the first to go. In fact, someone just have to say 'The 4 by 100 team's over and off', and they'll see my back. I know at least 3 from that team who don't want to take part(either including or excluding me). Which means 3 or 4/5. Overruled. But that doesn't seem to make much of a difference here. Whatever.
* Please note that I'm not ranting here. You can take me seriously. Too bad there isn't a choice we can have or not have a CCA. Life would be less complicated, much more peaceful, without CCAs. (Don't tell me 'And you forgot 'fun'. I didn't forget. I left it out on purpose. It's only 'fun' when everyone tries to make others fit in')
*If you are angry after reading this, don't bother spamming my tagboard. I don't like to clear up after unhappy 'guests'.

`*~Tortured~*`
*I'm either crazy, not right in the head, sucidal, sadistic or obsessed. And none of the five options sounds nice. I think I'll pick 'sadistic'. Don't ask 'why'. If you're reading this entry, do not finish with typing 'Why?' 'WHY' 'why?' 'W.h.y?' or any other variations in my tagboard. This is strictly a
ranting-session.
*I keep telling myself over and over again: Drop them. Stop talking/looking/finding any of them. It doesn't help. Oh yes, I thought I was cured. I haven't visited their pages for ages. But old feelings die hard. They die terribly hard. I've only succeeded with one. I stop talking and looking at the person. That's called 'ignoring', I believe. Then I changed my blog a few times. And the passwords. I keep a wide berth from the person's territory. Anyone from there, I keep away. Far, far away. I keep off her/his blog. It works. I'm guessing that the person hates me, probably not knowing the reason, now. Great. But the other one... Well, either I'm weak or too obsessed. I've restrained myself from looking for the other one. I even try to stop talking. It's impossible. Once he/she talks to me, I immediately answer. I think 'If you don't reply, you'll regret it.' Wrong. I will regret it. I'm keeping off , avoiding eye contact. It still doesn't work. I'm beginning to see myself forever tagging after the person, watching own, getting my heart shattered everytime he/she finds someone else, killing myself in the end. Haiz. *I went with Wan-li and Chuo-li and their maid to ECP this morning, at 6.50am. We didn't catch the actual sunrise, but we did catch the sun. Yups. Blazing ball of gold. It wasn't as pretty as when it was cloud-covered and still rising. Nevermind. I'm going to work on my parents allowing me to go at 6am.

`*~Glorious Sunrise~*`
*Like what I told Suqin and some others on Friday, if my legs didn't hurt, I would go skating at 6am all the way to East Coast park. Don't sTaRe at me, I haven't gone mad or anything. Yups, I know that 6am is early, but what better time to go, if I want to see the sunrise?
*But there was a catch: I had to go with my dad, for safety resons. Well, it was quite fun with him. I woke up at 5.15am that morning, changed up, put on my skates and waited for him to get ready. Then I skated wihile he brisk-walked all the way to ECP. I think we arrived around 6.10am. The sun wasn't even up yet, so we went all the way to the Macdonald's side. We stopped at a breakwater, but didn't get onto it because of my skates. Before long, we could see that the clouds in the South(Or rather, the North, depending on how you see it) were rose-tinged. It was a pretty sight, but not the real thing. While we waited, Papa started taking photos and I helped, too. Time passed again and soon, part of the sun was up, only that it was cloud-covered('tis pity 'tis true). However, the sight was glorious by itself. The golden rays were shooting up from beneath the clouds, and you can actually see the rays as
rays-they were broad strips of yellow.
And the
azure blue sky(I've heard this phrase common enough in P4 compositions) was drenched in rose-pink, clear-orange and yellow. I think it's worth it to wake so early just to see
this. I think I'll do it again this Saturday.
*Last night, I read until 2am(Shhh... Don't tell my parents) . Once again, don't sTaRe, gAPe or make any reactions linked to 'looking in surprise'. I'd got a new book from Kinokuniya with 20% off. It's 'The Forestwife' trilogy. I read the first two parts within 4 hours(10pm to 2am) . Three cheers to me. This is another of those Robin Hood linked books. The protagonist is Marian. Nope, if you're thinking that this Marian is the noble lady Robert(Robin's called this in the book) fell in love with, you're partially wrong. Yes, he loves her, but Marian was called Mary de Holt only at the beginning. Parties interested in reading The Forestwife, please feel free to ask me.
If you don't look forward to today, think of the next day. It helps. Just keep your body and wits with you, your mind can be off in 'tomorrow' already.

*My changing my blogskin definitely proves one thing: Promises are made to be broken. I've promised not to change it, but I simply couldn't resist it. I did this skin from scratch. Without any templete help. Please don't tell me it looks weird. And the song's 咸鱼, by Mayday.
*The password now is 'into the watery haven'. This is for those clueless ones, who come on year but forget the password.

`*~Remain strong...Don't be persuaded again~*`
*It's funny how easily I can talk to someone whom I was never close to.
After our chat, it has strengthened my resolve. I've made up my mind. About what, you ask? I'm sorry, but I won't divulge anything yet. Just that by the end of this year, or hopefully, by August, a certain group of people will not have me among them, anymore. I'm getting sick of waiting. I think I'll look for Isabella tomorrow to remind her of her promise. Oh yes, and I'd better assure you that I'm not babbling. *It's training tomorrow. And a team talk. Good luck to us. DHS Track Team is dead. Long life the track team!(To some, this won't make sense. But look at the caps, you may get it then)

`*~Warum?~*`
*'Why?' 'Warum?' '为什么?' I think this is the best word created in all languages. People start asking why when they are young, to learn about the things around them. They continue asking the question, to understand others around them. I ask it too. Why? Why am I so easily persuadable? Not that I have any say in that matter, but I could have said no, for saying-no's sake.
*Oh yes, advertising for my cousin. Visit
http://puss-inboots.blogspot.com/ if you need any jewellery. It's nice, except for the price. But I'm willing to buy. I like those earrings. The colours are fascinating. Hopefully I won't get an infection if I do get them. Hahas. My ears can take pure-gold/silver only. Anything less, well... I don't think I can wear them.
*Wynne, the
other cousin is now vetting my LA essay. Thank goodness she's online. Whew. Hope it's okay. I don't want to re-do it. Auf Wiedersehen!

`*~Happy 50th Post to ME~*`
*Finally, the time has come for the FIFTIETH POST. And it doesn't help that I'm not sure whether 50th is spelled right. Hahas. Though I've promised to give an account of my blog's history( I started it this year, with the help of Lizard) , I've decided that I'm too tired to do it. Disapp
ointment. Perhaps some of you are feeling it right now. But promises are made to be broken. Just as friendships are made to waver, and secrets are made to be told. And the list goes on: Food made to be eaten, outfits worn to be soiled, hearts made to be broken, lives made to be shattered, dreams made to create dissatisfaction...
*I did not go for training today, as my legs, after Friday's training, hurts like goodness knows what. I can't run on my leg-tips, like we're supposed to. And I walk weird. Sincerely, truthfully, really, I do walk weird. It's like I'm 蹒跚ing around. Haiz.
*Tomorrow's German classes. For some reason or other, I like going for 3rd Lang more than anything now. I have to so the people there only twice a week, and I do well in German, so I'm quite happy. Frau Hwang's nice, unlike
someone who irritates. If you give me a choice, put me at the strip of road at Bishan and ask me to turn either left(stadium) or right(MOELC), I'll definately pick right. Track isn't working out for me the way I want it. Haiz. Byebye for now...

`*~The 49th Post~*`
*Woah... So fast... It's now the 49th post, one more to the Golden Anniversary... Hahas. For the 50th post, I'll do a special coverage of what 'The History of the Ever-changing Steffi's Blogs'. I hope that I'll remember.*Anyway, about the dream, there are only two-or to be more precise, one-people who have tagged me on it. Come on, doesn't anyone wants to hear it? It concerns some others in the dream... Don't you want to know if you appear in my dreams? If you are, won't you feel very honoured? Hahas. Kidding. 4 more people to go before anyone hears a single word about it(except for Xiaoyaya, who, of course, deserves to hear it). So there. Thank dooness I wrote the whole thing into my diary. If not I wouldn't have remembered it clearly.*I've decided that the current defination of 'boy' to me is now:A (n)a clueless person of the darker sex(I mean, girls are called the 'fairer sex', so boys are the opposite, no?)B (n)a non-female who doesn't care about anythingC (n)a male in in a fantasy novel(or any other book, for the matter) who is exquisitely, much better, in ALL ways, than normal guys, in terms of character, looks, attitude, skills, abilities, manners, appearance so on and so forth. Eg. Edward Cullen, Nawat Crow, Faro...D (n) Someone who doesn't fit in the above categories, who is human, not clueless and cares.Okies. I know I'm unfair. Most of the people I know fit into A and B. The ones I really like(as in character, not in that way) are in C. Too bad they aren't real. Or maybe they are, who knows? As of the last, D, I haven't met any living boy who satisfies all 3 requirements to be labelled that. Maybe I have too high expectations. They more I expect, they less I get. Perhaps I ought to stop reading all those books. They're like heroin, and me an addict. I read and read and read them, then I go so high that my mind's in that book. Before, of course, plummeting down, back to the ever non-changing Earth. That's when I realise that no one's like whoever I've read, and that I can stop dreaming. Because there aren't any vampires living around here, not the Mer, nor crow-men. Even if there are, they won't bother with me. And I'm too young, anyway. *Oh dear, I've been typing crap. Haiz...

*I don't know whether I should just write this in. This blog isn't the best place to confide anything. I don't know. Let me re-consider first. I have the whole thing jotted done in my dairy, anyway. If you really want me to post about the dream I had this morning, tag me with this request. And then I'll re-consider.

`*~Camp.OVER~*`
*I just came back from Campaderie@DHS. Although some seniors said that it would be boring, I guess that was because Year One Camp Oh-Five wasn't an overnight one. Okies, here's my account of what took place:*First day morning, Year Ones went to school, as per normal. After flag-raising, we assembled at the hall before starting off for CHASE! Station one. Elliot's first station was Gamelan music and Wayang Kulit puppets. After lunch at Kampong Arang, we set off for Beijing Opera. However, we had to wait outside for quite awhile as the Opera instructors were out for lunch. Before long, we were doing those hand gestures you can see professional preformers doing. Not saying that we were pro or anything, of course. (I'm not that 不要脸) The last station was at ECP. We played a team-bonding game and built a sandcastle. If I can get pictures of those, I will try to post them up. Promise. 2nd day was about the same. I won't write the whole thing here. Visit other Year Ones' blogs for more. 3rd night was the main higlight, I think. All the classes showcased what they has learnt on the first and second day. Elliot did quite okay, I suppose. I want to make comments about the other classes, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so I'll keep it to this: Everyone was great!*This morning, we woke up, had our breakfast of bread and milo, packed up, went to the hall, received our prizes and sang 知足 twice. Then Chuo Li, Wan Li and I took a taxi back to Lorong J and walked back home. (They stay at Lorong H, I stay at L.) The end.* I know I sound extremely impersonal here. I can't help it. When I wrote my Camp reflections this morning, I kept using 'we', not 'I'. Everything was 'we this...', 'we that...'. Haiz. But i have my own reasons for that, so nevermind.*I said I wasn't going to enjoy level camp in my previous entry. Well, I tried my best to. I did enjoy it, but not entirely, for resaons I'll never say.

`*~Junk~*`
*Well...I suppose if I keep on subscribing to stuff, my mailbox will be failed with junk. I had 35 new messages. THIRTY-FIVE. And not a single one of them was not-junk. Haiz. And I had to press the delete button 35 times over.*I've changed my blogskin, yet again. I did it all by myslef. Please tell me that it looks nice... I've spent a whole afternoon doing it. Actually, only 3 hours. Hahas. Anyway, I'm finally blogging, thanks to SadYaYa aka Suqin. *Training today was, at best, can be described as 'okay'. That is, if future training sessions are going to be tougher. If not, I'll describe it as one of the few toughest I've ever been through. But I don't really mind endurance training. I prefer running long to fast. Haiz. My maximum distance is 6km, at ECP. If not, It's 4km for Cross-countries. Yay... runrunrun... Keep on running, Trackers, don't let setbacks get you down. Jiayou!

`*~Library~*`
*I'm at the library now. With Suqin and Cassy*. we're going for training at Bishan later. I haven't been for training for goodness knows know how long... Haiz. Nevermind. Will try my best to train harder than last time. *Today's lessons were quite boring. No LA, so I didn't have to endure Miss Wee calling my name after veery 5 minutes. Hahas. Haiz. Still have 8 months to go. Don't know how long I can stand this. But if some people can endure having her around for more than a year, I suppose I can, too. Haiz. *Now that my blog is password-protected, I can start 'flaming' now. Hahas. Just kidding. I won't go to that extent. Just occasional complains, I suppose. Okies. Going off now.

`*~Rainbow~*`
*Yet another day of study, study and yet more studying. We were informed today that we can actually complain if a teacher only uses powerpoint slides to teach and doesn't ask questions but just get us to do homework and hand in. Well, I have some teachers in my mind already. Who? I shall not say. What if they call this 'flaming'? It's better to be safe than sorry.*I think the most abused name in LA lessons is 'Steffi'. I believe that many Elliotions will agree with me on this. The LA teacher seems to leave calling my name so much, that if I were calculative(I'm not), she would have said it more than 10 times per day. I'm seriosly considering whether I ought to chnage my name. Hmmm... Maybe I should. I mean, I was just looking at something else while she was talking, and then she suddenly called my name. I was playing attention, just not looking at her. And there were more people noy paying attention whose names she did not call. It isn't fair. Hmph. I wonder how long I will have to endure this. Perhaps until the end of Year 1. Haiz. 8 more months to go...*I'm doing my LA The Good Earth 2-day Diary now. I chose to write O-lan's, because she appears in the book quite a bit, and I can 'hear' more of her talking-writing tone than the other characters. The first day of the diary, I chose 8th September 1925. Why 1925? Because we were not supposed to choose any dates after 1931, the year The Good Earth was published, and as O-lan died long before that, I chose that year. 8th September? Well, I don't know why. It simply just came into my mind at that point in time. The second say's 12 September, 6 days after the first entry, the day O-lan's eldest son is to be married. I've only finished the first day, doing the second day later. Now I'm going to play Maplestory for a while. I just re-downladed it, so I can play now. Can you believe me if I said that I have been playing for close to 3 years, and I'm still level16? No? I understand.

*I finally was able to change my blog's song to Chen Wei Lian's 触摸. Feeling quite high, now.*Today, I went to Parkway to cut my hair. Yups. I finally agreed to let my mum drag me to cut it. Actually, to those who aren't observant, you won't see a difference, because I just trimmed it, so the end is now straight. I still can't believe I agreed to part with my dear, beloved hair. I really mean to leave it long. Haiz. But nevermind, hair grows fast. So I won't be sad for long.
*Today, I finally finished helping Sean with his Geog proposal. Haiz. He took like 3 days to do it. Chuo Li and I took 2. Then again, he did it by himself. So I guess it's just as well. Anyway, I think I'm going to make another page for my profile, and link it to this blog. Then I can put more photos there. Yup, that's a good idea. Update 24/04/06: I haven't time to do the profile page yet. I'm at the computer lab now. We're STILL doing the moon star thing. Haiz.

*Hello... I've decided to change my blog's colour scheme. It's now Twilight themed. SO everything's in hues of red. Yups. No more green or purple or blue. I thing I've finally gone crazy. Oh yes, and I changed the picture, all by MYSELF. Three cheers for me! Hurray!*I suppose my blog's going to look all Christmassy now, red and white-ish. Hahas. Yesterday, Huiying, Chuo LI, Wan Li and I went to Cathay Cineleisure to watch Eight Below. Yups. Again, for me, that is. Later on, we went to Yoshinoya for dinner. And that's when Chuo Li realised she'd left her wallet back at the cinema hall. I accompanied her up, waited for 15 minutes, before one of the staff told us that Chuo's wallet has been found, and we were to go to Level 5 to claim it. Haiz. Then we went back, ate up our dinner. I managed to cajole Huiying into taking neoprints for us. Hahas. She didn't want to, at first, but in the end, she did. It cost us $9. I'll post the pictures into either here or Flickr later on. And after that, of course, we went home. I think I reched home at around 10.20pm. I think this is the first time I've gone out so late with frineds. Hahas. It was really fun. But I think I'd better not go on too many of these outings. If not, I will be broke before I am sixteen. Evidence: I spent around $30 yesterday, just on tickets, food and Neoprints. Horrible? Yes.

*Hello! I was out doing a project at Chuo Li's just now. we'll be going out to Cathay Cineleisure later on, to watch Firewall. Then we'll be going out for dinner. and it WILL NOT BE KFC. I'm quite sure if I have to enter that place for the 4th time this month, I will get a MAJOR sore throat. I heard that there is training today. Haiz. I thought there wasn't. But I really cannot cancel this movie-outing. Haiz. Nevermind. I'll make up for it during future trainings.
*I've just noticed that I am living with, talking to, eating with, breathing the same air as many pessimists. And it's a great wonder that I'm smiling and laughing, still quite optimistic. How do I do it? I'm clueless myself. Hahas. Whatever it is, I'm telling myself to remain happy, not to succumb to pessimism. Hopefully I can hold my fort. Yups, hopefully. Smile smile smile...

*This time, the quotes are from Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. It's a vampire-human romance. I think it's about the most entrancing book I've ever read. I was so hooked on it that I finished it 2 days from the date I got it. Talk about addicted. Hahas. Some of the quotes are from outtakes, by the way.
*"I thought what happened next was my judgment. I'd had a little too much fun in my twenty human years, so I wasn't surprised by the fires of hell." He laughed again, though I shivered; Edward's arm tightened around me unconsciously. "What surprised me was that the angel didn't leave. I couldn't understand how something so beautiful would be allowed to stay in hell with me—but I was grateful. Every time God came by to check on me, I was afraid he would take her away, but he never did. I started to think maybe those preachers who talked about a merciful God might have been right after all. And then the pain went away?and they explained things to me.
"They were surprised at how little disturbed I was over the vampire issue. But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?" I nodded, concurring completely, as he continued. "I had a bit more trouble with the rules?" He chuckled. "You had your hands full with me at first, didn't you?" Emmett's playful nudge to Edward's shoulder set us both rocking. Edward snorted without looking away from the TV.
"So you see, Hell's not so bad if you get to keep an angel with you," he assured at me mischievously. "When he ever gets around to accepting the inevitable, you'll do fine." Edward's fist moved so swiftly that I didn't see what knocked Emmett sprawling over the back of the couch. Edward's eyes never left the screen.
"Edward!" I scolded, horrified.
"Don't worry about it, Bella." Emmett was unruffled, back in his seat. "I know where to find him."
He looked over me towards Edward's profile. "You'll have to put her down sometime," he threatened. Edward merely snarled in response without looking up.
"Boys!" Esme's reproving voice called sharply down the stairs.

*"Aren't you going to feed Charlie, too? He's bound to come home eventually."
"Charlie couldn't eat another bite—who do you think was my taster? I had to be sure this all was edible." He put a plate down in front of me, full of things that looked very edible. I sighed.
"Are you still mad?" He pulled the other chair around the table so he could sit next to me.
"No. Well, yes, but not at this very moment. I was just thinking-there it goes, the one thing I could do better than you. This looks great." I sighed again.
He chuckled. "You haven't tried it yet—be optimistic, maybe it's awful."
I took a bite, paused, and then made a face.
"Is it awful?" he asked, shocked.
"No, it's fabulous, naturally."
"That's a relief," he smiled, so beautiful. "Don't be concerned, there's still lots of things you're better at."
"Name even one."
He didn't answer at first, he just lightly ran his cool finger along the line of my collarbone, holding my gaze with smoldering eyes until I felt my skin burn and redden.
"There's that," he murmured, touching the crimson in my cheek. "I've never seen anyone blush as well as you do."
"Wonderful," I scowled. "Involuntary reactions—something I can be proud of."

*I found good quotes in Das Anne Frank Tagebuch. "Wenn du allein und unglücklich bist, dann versuche mal, bei schönem Wetter vom Oberboden aus in den Himmel zu schauen, Solange du furchtlos den Himmel anschauen kannst, so lange weißt du, dass du innerlich rein bist und dass du weider glücklich werden wirst." "Whenever you're feeling lonely or sad, try going to the loft on a beautiful day and look outside, Not at the houses and rooftops, but at the sky. As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you'll know that you're pure within and will find happiness once more.""Reichtum, Ansehn, alles kann man verlieren, aber das Glück im eidenen Herzen kann nur verschleiert werden und wird dich, solange du lebst, immer wieder glücklich machen.""Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there, as long as you live, to make you happy again."Lass das Ende kommen, auch wenn es hart ist, dann wissen wir wenigstens, ob wir letztlich siegen werden oder untergehen.""Let the end come, however cruel; at least we'll know whether we are to be the victors or the vanquished."*That's all for now. I borrowed the German version of Anne Frank, so I'm reading it with my English version now. Yups. No Track today, by the way. Heard that there won't be on this Friday, too. Hopefully, my stamina won't go too low. Perhaps I will run tonight.

`*~Day Of Tao Nan Visitations~*`
*I know people are thinking why I am blogging so early, shouldn't I be having Track? Simple. There isn't training today. Surprise! I mean, there isn't training for the Juniors and some others only, I think. Which is kind of a rest day for me. So Huiying and I went back to Tao Nan to visit Chenzi. Actually, our primary purpose there was to see Miss Koh, but we were told that she had to attend a course, and would only be out at 5pm. Haiz. I really miss seeing Miss Koh. The lessons she taught were so interesting, and the stories... Wow. She still hasn't told us about the Mirror story yet. Apparantly, it's too scary for us, she doesn't want our parents to complain about us getting nightmares, so she refused. Oh yes, before I forget, one of Miss Koh's ambitions was to be a ballerina, another was to be a Grand Prix racer. Hahas. All of us were laughing when she told us. Haiz. I still sort of miss Tao Nan. Nothing will replace it. Tao Nan is like a Sun, slowly, slowly, being eclisped by the Moon, Dunman High. Very soon, the whole Sun will be covered, but in the end, the Moon will still have to move on. The life at Tao Nan is dead. Long live memories of TNS!*The other day, we had a 6I class gathering at Chuo Li's. I twas quite fun. I brought my Maths and Science to do, and later on started using Chuo-chuo's computer. Then we went to the park, which is just right next to her house(she stays in a bungalow, or something like that). At first, we played with the swings, then with the twister-thingy that made everyone feel so dizzy. We spotted two dogs named Max and Phoebe, so we went over to pat them. The rest(some girls and guys) were playing either soccer or captain's ball. I sort of completely ignored everyone and just kept following Max around. Sometimes, I wonder whether animals are better than humans. I mean, they don't communicate verbally, much. Humans do that, which can be quite annoying sometimes. No offence, people, continue talking to me, okies? Anyway, we had KFC for dinner(2nd time in 2 days. 1st time on Thursday night, with the Trackers) and later on, Chuo, Wan, Sharon and I sat on Chuo's swing( the old kind) and started talking. The end.*Yesterday afternoon, my cousins, Nick and Wynne, went out with my Grandma and I to watch Eight Below. It's quite a nice show. My favourite Malamute is Maya. She's wise, and shows great leadership skills. And her endurance limit is very, very great. She collapsed only at the last part, but got rescued in the end. After that, my cousin and I went to Kino for her to look for a book. I say the German version of Anne Frank. I think I ought to get it. Anyway, after that, we took a MRT back. On the way, Wynne asked me why I like to follow the seniors around so much, which is kind of true. I like hanging around with people older than me, like Wynne herself(She's 16), her older sister, the Sec. twos and threes(Lizard, Hannah). I've no idea why. The only people around my age whom I can be seen walking around with are Chuoli, Huiying, Suqin and Isabella from third lang. I mean, really walk around and talking. Haiz. Maybe because the people older than me seem...older? Hahas. Not that Lizard behaves like a 13year old(She isn't 14, yet). She claims to be 2 years old. Hahas.

*Hello! If you see this unfamilar blogskin, don't feel alarmed or anything. It is still me, Bunnisteffi, writing. I just changed the layout. I think it looks kind of nice, though some say it is too dark. Well, they are kind of right. My former skin was so pastel. Now it's so dark. Hahas. I'm still writing in purple and grren, so that, at least, hasn't changed.*Yesterday was 4-schools. And I must say that the Dunmanian team did very, very well. Especially the C-girls relay teams. For those who did not win anything, don't get upset. There's still next year, and the year after that to try again. Yay! Three cheers for Dunman! And to add to all that, we're the overall Champion! Hurray! I can't wait to get to school on Monday. I'm sure they will announce to the school then. Yay!*Oh yes, for the 20by100M, my team(red) came in 3rd. So all 20 of us have medals. This, so far, is my third trophy/medal. My first ever was for Primary5 Captain's Ball, 4th. And the second was for getting Top 20 Finalists for Marshall Cavendish's Budding Writers. I'm still quite happy. Hahas. Actually, we could have got 2nd, but someone didn't run very fast in the niddle, so it's only third. But it's better than nothing, right? Hahas. When we went to get the medals, someone wanted all of us to try to squeeze onto the prizewinners stage, like the other relay teams had done(Note that they have at most 4 people per team whereas we have TWENTY). It was crazy. Thank goodness the adults asked us to clear the area.*After everything ended, we made Jianfeng and Yuhding wear skirts. Hahahas. I'm not kidding. There were so many camara-phones snapping away, I'm sure there's enough evidence. It really was funny. Many Dunmanians were still around, so I think quite a lot saw them, and they were standing in the middle of the field. Hahahas. BUT a teacher saw and she came over. Guess what happened next? The whole team who were in the field at that time were scolded. And Jianfeng was smiling(sort of) the whole time. Haiz. But all ended okay, I think. A group of us went to eat at KFC after that.*I'm going for 6I's class gathering at 2.30pm later. Finally, we are going to have one. I hope it turns out well. Okies. Going to romp around the World Wide Web. Bye!

Believe in yourselves. *I don't think I can run well today. And my event is only 20by100m, thank goodness. my ankles hurt from yesterday and before. I haven't been able to run without them hurting since last week, I think. Haiz. Maybe when I reach 50, I won't be able to walk. Hahas. I'm getting more and more pessimistic. *Yesterday, Alyson, Cassandra, Elizabeth, me, Sheryl, Jianfeng, Kuanliang, Sean and Yuhding went to Turf City for the Army Shield X-country. At least, I think it's called that. I don't think I did very, very badly. I overtook quite a few people at the end. Maybe I shouldn't have pushed so hard. Haiz. But I've been informed that this will be the last X-country this year. Haiz. Goodluck to me, myself and I. I think I need it.

She smelt all nice and looked quite pretty(defintition of a 'pretty rabbit': beautiful fur, slender, adorable etc.) after her grooming session. Then I saw that she looked so bored in her carrier, so I put her in the playpen with some other rabbits for adoption. Bad idea. Many people came up to pat Eveie. I think some even had the intention to adopt her. One of the HRSS adoption volunteers asked me to take her out. All in good time, too. So back went Eveie, into her carrier. Then Juliana(T&E's Granny's sister, aka Their Grand-aunt) said I could put Eveie in the other playpen, with the non-adoptable bunnies. So I did. However, it seems that she wasn't too welcomed there; one bunny went to bite her eye-lid. Haiz. My poor Evieie-bun. Thank goodness it isn't anything serious. Hope she won't get a scar. *After that, I just left her on the colouring booth's table, with two other little rabbits(Eveie isn't what you can call 'little'). And now comes the praiseworthy part about Eveie. Many kids came to pat her, a guy around Primary 5, I think, even carried her. And all through that, she lay down patiently on the table. Isn't she good? Yes, I think so. I didn't know she had in her to be so enduring. Or maybe she was just too lazy to move. But I'd rather think of her as calm and composed rather than slothful. Hahas.*I'm not going to leave out Toppy, of course not. He stayed at home because I was quite sure that he wouldn't like going out, being patted and hugged. But I think I'm bringing him the next time if there are grooming services. His tail area looks so eurgh. Hahas. *This coming Thursday is 4 schools. I'll be in 20 by 100m. And I'm kind of nervous, too. I really want to get a medal. I hope that the people in my team can run fast, and can pass the baton okay. But the toher relays are more impotant, of course. Goodluck to Suqin, Melissa, Ophilia, Shiying, Yuhding, Sean, Kuanliang, Jianfeng, Wenxin and anyone else who is participating on that day! Jiayou!

`*~German Test...Check!~*`
*Haven't blogged for days. Now feeling very rusty. Haiz. Anyway, I had my German test today. I don't think I'll get below 45. Hopefully. Now I haven't much to say. Haiz. Boring poster I am, right?

`*~Essay Finally DONE~*`
*Yay! I feel so much better now. I've finally finished my history essay. Hurray! It's been pressing at the back of my mind for ages upon ages. It's 1 and 1 third pages long. And much of it is repetition, I think.*Today's training was quite gloomy, though the weather was nice and cooling(not that many will agree). We had to run laps in the car park. And, since it was raining, the floors were slippery. If you don't watch how you run, you may slip and fall(and break your legs/arms/head at the same). Alyson, Su Qin and I had taken a cab there, since our talk on archaeology was finished at around 4pm, and we had to make it to Bishan stadium by 4.30pm. We got there in less than 20 minutes, thanks to the driver. We paid $6.60 from Dunman High to Bishan. It isn't that expensive, is it?*My parents cooked tonight. Porridge. There was bittergourd with pork loin meant in some sort of spicy sauce and green curry with cabbage. By the time I had finished half the bowl of porridge(I added curry and the sauce to it), my nose was all runny and I was almost crying. Moral of this story? Don't take too much hot stuff. Which isn't, on second thoughts, really a moral. Good thing we also made steamed eggs with japanese mushrooms. They took so long to steam that we ate it long after dinnertime. *There is a German test on 6th April. Good luck to me, I haven't revised yet. Haiz. Jiayou to me...

`*~History.Essay.Boring.Tiring.Haiz.~*`
*What am I doing here? I'm supposed to be doing my history essay, but after typing half of it, I couldn''t stand it anymore. It's so boring, doing essays about 'the study of history is impotant only because it helps to prepare students for the world of work'. Don't get the wrong idea. i don't hate history. Hate's too strong a word. But I can't exactly say I like it either. I have to hand in this essay on Tuesday, thank goodness. If it's tomorrow, I'll be feeling so down now. *Okies. I'm not going to rant about history now. Yesterday, we went to MacRitchie for the cross country. You can't exactly say that there was a lot of people, so we were expected to do quite okay, I suppose. Anyway, what I want to say is that Trackers, don't feel so depressed if you aren't anywhere near the front, okay? We can train harder for the Nationals...*What's the use of saying all these? I've said it before, and I'm quite sure no one cares for words anymore. There was a time when I thought words were everything, but now I guess not. 'The pen is mightier than I sword'. I guess it's true for those who can wield the pen well, but not for me anymore. I can't seem to be original and say some new, more encouraging stuff. Haiz.

`*~Yours For Life 2006~*`
*There will be a House Rabbit Society Of Singapore(HRSS) event next Saturday, namely Yours For Life. Please visit the HRSS website for more information. Date: 8th March 2006, SaturdayVenue: National Youth Park (Somerset area)Time:10am to 6pmIf you're thinking of adopting a rabbit, go. If you want to buy some bunny merchandise, go.If you want to know more about rabbits, go.If you just want to see some rabbits, go.If you want to pat a rabbit, go.If you want to see how rabbit-people look like, go.If you're in love with rabbits, go.If you want to support HRSS, go.If you just happen to be at Ochard/Somerset on that day, go.If you want to go there to see me and Eveie, go. (Kidding)In a nutshell, just go.*Whatever I've written is similar to T&E's Granny's. Instead, hers is:People who have rabbits, come.People who want to have rabbits, come.People who want to know more about rabbits, come.People who want to see rabbits, come.People who want to see what rabbit-people look like, come.People who are fanatic about rabbits, come.People who are not, come also.People who have never seen a binky, come.People who have never seen rabbits, come.People who wants to support rabbits, come.Aiyah! Bottomline: Just come! *Anyway, I will be going on that day. Bringing Eveie along, too, because she needs a grooming session with Adeline. I'm not letting Toppy go because he isn't that much of a social bunny. He'll just sit in a corner and do nothing if he goes.*Today is the Swift cross-country. There are so many cross-countrys that I have mixed some of them up. First, there was SAAA, then Wings, I think. The Nationals are coming, but I'm not sure when. It's going to be held at MacRitchie, and if it drizzles in the early morning, all the better for me. The other day, at the Turf City, it was so terribly hot. MacRitchie ought to be better, as there is more foilage. Jiayou, Trackers-who-are-running-today! By the way, I'm buying bananas, thanks to Sean, who reminded me. I've learnt from the previous time that I'm to buy only 1 bunch, otherwise, I'll have to make jugfuls of banana milkshake in order to finish the lot before it rots. Goodluck!*Yesterday, on the way to Bishan Stadium for Tracking, the rain suddenly come down on us whiel we were at a bus-stop waiting for 53. It went something like this:Alighted from 158.Waited for 53. 53 not here yet.Sees lots of grey clouds.Drizzle.Looks around for 53. Not here yet.Drizzle becomes rain.Talk, talk, talk.Looks for 53 again. Still not here yet.Rain becomes storm.Talk, talk.Ligthning flash. Thunder. People cover ears.(Actually, only me and another Tracker. It's instinct, you see...)Rainwater flows into the bus-stop.People scramble up from their seats and start complaining about their wet shoes.Wind blows rain in.53 not here yet.Someone opens an umbrella to try and block rain out, to no avail.53, of course, isn't here.We wait again.Finally, 53 arrives. Everyone squeezes in.Then, when we looked back, on the bus, we saw that it was another 53 tailing this 53. Haiz. *I just realised that I'm very 'list-y' today. That's about all, I should think. Auf Wiedersehen!

`*~Dim Sum Day~*`
*For some reason or other, it seems as if my family has decided to make today 'Dim Sum Day'. Why do I say this? Because today's recess, I ate a small bun(other wise known as 小包). For lunch, I had a 大包. And for dinner? No, I didn't have a Giant包. Hahas. I had Luomaigai, or Glutinous rice. And my mom informed me that she had Luomaigai for her three meals. Yuck. I wouldn't like that.*Oh yes. And now my mum has placed four IKEA striped taable mats on the dining table. It's all nice and neat. BUT. But it looks kind of out-of-place. I mean, who places place-mats on the table all the time? No offence to her though. Oh great. She's asking me to turn off the computer now. Hauz. But she has cut some mangoes. Might as well go and eat them.*Last note: I saw this quote from Toppy and Eveie's Granny's blog: Honestly, I think girlfights in Rabbitland are more atrocious than catfights in Girlyland. It's on T and E's sisters and Maomao. Haha. Have to go. Bye.

`*~...Haiz...~*`
*Is there something wrong with me? Or is it the people around me? Today after Track, while I was walking to Bishn MRT station with one big group of Trackers, one of them had to clip her shoe-bag onto my bag. As if I'm not tired enough le. Then someone else had to pull my bag from my back. I wasn't very happy then. To add to all these, someone had to lean on me. I know that you are tired, but we all are, okay? Just because I smile half the time doesn't mean I can' get irritated. *I'm not done yet. I went onto the MRT train with Sean, Suqin and Yuhding. At first, they were joking about some stuff. I kept laughing while they were talking. Laughing fit, okay? Me laughing does not mean I'm happy or anything. I laugh randomly. But you people don't know that, so that's an excuse. THEN came the last straw. They started teasing me. About what, I'm not telling. I felt so paisei so I walked to the other side of the MRT carriage. The thing I'm angry about is not that they were teasing me, but that I can't even defend myself. I just stood there and covered my ears. Helpless? Definately. Then I ran out of the MRT, all the way until the control tower. Haiz. Haiz. HAIZ. Why can't I take teasing from others? I don't know. Maybe my joke tolerance limit is low. But that doesn't mean you have to stop talking to me, okay? Goodness. I wish I can hide in my room forever. But that's impossible. Haiz...

`*~SPH Relay~*`
*Yesterday was the first day of the SPH relays. I'll just get to the point, okay? DHS got disqualified. The end. And some poeple said it wasn't fair. But I'm not even sure what happened. Go to one of the other Tracker's blog to find out, okay? And today, I didn't go because my mum didn't want me too. So, once again, go look for someone else. I'm useless here. I've been SMS-ing everyone the whole afternoon. I won't be surprised if someone finds me 烦. But only got a few replies from Wenxing and Suqin. Well, I suppose since everyone is so busy, I might as well expect nothing from them. Haiz...*Again yesterday, when I was on the MRT with Suqin, Sean and Jianfeng, we were talking about what Mr Lim said to me earlier. Whatever he said, they were frightening. 1st Frightening subject: He told me that next year, ShiYing they all would move up to B girls and Suqin and I would be in the C team. And there would be only two of us, unless we can find some more to join us. Scary. I don't run well. I know I don't run well. Mr Lim also said that when we train, we need lots of patience and discipline. And we need to plan our time well. I've never told you all about my ambition, yes? I want to be a veterinarian, an animal doctor. What if I can't manage my time well enough? I won't be able to fulfil my one and only ambition. Hiaz. 2nd Frightening subject: He told me to take my 'O' levels. Apparantly, with a good 'O' Level result, I can do anything I want. BUT I'm in DHP, and it would be difficult to opt out, because DUNMAN HIgh is a full IP school. How? How? *My parents are going off now. I have to go. Haiz...

`*~ My Rabbit-toys Names~*`
*Erm...I'm sure many of you don't know this. Ihave14rabbitsofttoysinmybed. Whew. Don't laugh. Hanying was talking about rabbit soft-toys on MSN, so I offered to tell her the names of my 14. Here they are:Twitchy, Mr Pinky, Rosemary, Bluebelle, Lilic Damselfly, Long Legs, Tiffy-bun, Yellow-bun, Blue-bun, Hareston(aka Cream Honeybunny), Lil' Pink Tiffy-bun, Bunni-pillow, Bunni-bolster, Rainbowcloud. *Oh great. This IS embarrassing. But the only way to remember their names is to do this. And there's also Toppy and Eveie. An dI have a whole bunch of other bunny ornaments. 16 of them. Wow...30 in total. What an avid bunny-stuff-collector I am.

*Hello people! Surprised that I'm posting so early? Reason is that I don't have to go for Track today, yay!(It's not that I don't like Track, but it is nice to get a rest day) I think my being tired/ranting-y the whole week is coming to an end. Hurray! I'm going to try my best to keep being happy the entire year. *During Science today, Mr Tan was teaching us about molecules and thermometers. Then he was asking us about a word starting with a 'V'. Someone said Velocity and another said Verify. Then someone said 'Volume'. Correct. Okay, this is the sort-of-funny part: Everyone started cheering, for a long, long time. You won't find it funny, unless you were there, of course. And during Maths, Nien-An and I were poking each other with our pens. Then after a while, she poked me near the...I don't know what you call it...hip? (huh?). You know? The part which makes you really squeemish? For the whole period after that, I was looking at Nien-An, making sure she isn't going to poke me again. I'm very poke-prone and tickle-prone. Wait. Why did I say that? Silly, silly me. Warning to everyone out there: Tickle/Poke me AT YOUR OWN RISK.*Oh dear... I realised I'm not writing very well today. Must go and charge up my 'writing battery'. NAd I'd better put this on the main blog: I've noticed that in every MRT carriage, there are at least 2 people listening to i-pods/ MP3s. I'm not kidding. I've observed for a very long time.*P.S. Thank you YuhdingGorGor for mentioning me in his blog. =) P.P.S. If any Trackers read this, please go to http://dhstrack.blogspot.com/ . Mabel did a blog for us. Everyone MUST remember to blog, okay?

`*~When The Rain Comes Down~*`
*It rained today. Again. This time, the rain was okay, because I did not have to run in it. *There was Track, and the sprinters were supposed to go to Bishan, but it turned out that all stadiums were closed. So, we trained in DHS. For most of the time, I was standing at the side-lines. I'd only ran twice. Wonderful, isn't it? But I can't blame anyone. I ought to have told them I wanted to run. I know, I know, but just let me rant, okay? It is now becoming my third favourite past time, next to reading and blogging. And then it drizzeled. ShiyingJieJie wasn't there, and so was either Melissa or Ophi(Still can't remember which one's which). Su Qin and I picked up the shoes and trotted back to the canteen. It was around 4pm, I think. It seemed quite slack to me. Maybe that was because I hadn't run much. I'm feeling so extra now, but I know I can't run fast, so what's the point of complaining? We stayed around for a while. Then I asked Shiying whether we could go. She said okay, so Su Qin and I took bus 14. And now, here I am. Hurray! Dots...*I'm always talking about Track. Why not about myself? Simple: Too many are reading my blog. There are Trackers, classmates, people here and there who come on. But YuhdingGorGor said that I didn't need a password to restrict access to my blog, as I 'had nothing to hide'. I'm thinking of starting another blog. I've tried, but I can't remember the password. What excellent memory you have, Grandma Steffi!*I sound very 自悲, don't I? Remember, Steffi, that pity doesn't get you anywhere. It doesn't make people like you, only pity you. They'll all tire of you soon, won't they? So buck up, jiayou, be happier, okay?(I must be crazy now, talking to myself)

`*~...Haiz...~*`
*I think I'm the most depressed creature ever. Just kidding. Usually I like rain, but today, it doesn't seem so comforting. It was like, so cold... maybe it's like that only for me, but that was because I'd drunk one Banana Choc Milkshake during lunch. And THEN I had to splatter some on my blouse. Those we're interested to see the stains, come find me. *It's third lang after this. Yay! We haven't been going for ages, so it will be nice to return and see Frau Hwang. Pity it is at 4.30pm, so I'll reach home late. Pity pity. I don't think I'll come online unless I do my poem reflection today. *Another thing: Yesterday, if you'd read the tagboard, you'll know that I had tried to blog, but soemthing happened. I'm not going to type it once more, what's past has passed.

`*~Back Again~*`
*Today, there was Tracking. Surprise surprise. Before that, I realised that I hadn't brought my PE shirt, so I was SMS-ing all morning, hopng that someone had an extra. It was all for nothing, or so I'd thought. So, I went to look for Mr Siva to ask if I could go for Track without a PE Shirt. And then he lent me a jersey, but he kept asking me if I was okay about going for Track as he said I looked sad. Of course, I said I wasn't sad. But I was lying. Why sad? No idea. Maybe I was dying to get home to blog and MSN. Who knows? Anyway, blogging isn't that addictive, but it's the only place where I can rant and jot down everything. Anyway, when I got to Bishan with the rest, I found out that Shu Qin had, on reading my SMS, brought hers for me(she was at home for piano lessons). Thank you! *Before going, Mabel gave us a Morale Talk. Quite good, I think, only that people kept coming to the stairs(we were sitting on it) and Lizard and Melissa were eating at the same time as Mabel was talking. Quite a lot was about the attitude of our team. They said that The Year 2s and 3s were more bonded than the Year 1s. Who says? I mean, sure, the girls and boys don't have much of the 'together spirit', but we're quite okay with our Seniors. I mean, I talk to them, Lizard, Melissa, Shiying and the rest. I like them, I mean, I don't often get so close to people older than me, except perhaps my Sec 4 cousin, but you can't count her. Oh well... *Oh yes, on to the training. We were there for 4x100m relay practice. Some of us, I mean. Pity pity... There was a rain brewing even when we were taking a bus there. There, we warmed-up, ran a little, and, before long, 'pitter patter' came the rain. Mr Lim told us to continue, as it was just a slight drizzle. But not for long. Soon, the rain came down, heavier. We could only head for shelter. Not that I was running. I feel quite extra, since i can't run very fast. Anyway, I'd predicted that the rain wouldn't stop so soon, as the clouds(big, grey ones) were moving in a certain direction, and there was more coming from the other side. Well, I'm a good cloud-reader(Flattering myself), and the rain didn't stop. We moved to the carpark, and did the relay there. Strangely, I felt better running with my good old shoes, rather than spikes. *Then I went home with Su Qin. We took a MRT all the way from Bishan to Cityhall to Kembangan/Bedok. We're quite good, aren't we? Considering that I've never done that in P6, and more than 90% of my class mates definitely don't do that at least once every week, we're quite good, aren't we? I mean, Year 1s don't usually do this, yes? *I want to go off now. Haven't much to say, except that tomorrow will be ANOTHER busy day. WOW.

`*~The 'Great Depression' ~*`
*Hurray! Yea! Great! School holidays have come to an end! Yea! We're all so happy. As if. It's not that I don't like school. I do. But just by thinking of having to wake up early, staying till 6 something for Track, having to do homework after that, it makes me want to groan out loud. Haiz...I suppose I'll just make the best out of it.*After reading Avalon High(birthday present from myself, money from my dad), I'm quite hooked onto Tennyson's poem, The Lady of Shalott. It's drastically romantic(if there's ever such a phrase). Here it is:PART I
On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road runs by
To many-tower'd Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Thro' the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four gray walls, and four gray towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.
By the margin, willow veil'd,
Slide the heavy barges trail'd
By slow horses; and unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?
Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly,
Down to tower'd Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers " 'Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."
PART II
There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.
And moving thro' a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot:
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village-churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.
Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad,
Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad,
Goes by to tower'd Camelot;
And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed:
"I am half sick of shadows," said The Lady of Shalott.
PART III
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley-sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.
The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon'd baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armour rung,
Beside remote Shalott.
All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn'd like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often thro' the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me,"
cried The Lady of Shalott.
PART IV
In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
'The Lady of Shalott'.
And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance--
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.
Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right--
The leaves upon her falling light--
Thro' the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.
Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darken'd wholly,
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot.
For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.
Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.
Who is this? and what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they cross'd themselves for fear,
All the knights at Camelot:
But Lancelot mused a little space;
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."
*::Stares:: Wow... That's pretty long. If you managed it, good for you! If not, well, nevermind. It's kind of sad, her watching the mirror day and night, then it cracks, she lies on the bower(kind of like a boat) then she dies.
*My dad just went out to fetch my Mum. She promised to buy chicken pie. Yay! Don't mistake me for a glutton, though. I just like chicken pie. Toppy and Eveie are resting. Oh...they're back. Okies have to go. Happy holidays everyone!(It's my chinese birthday today)

`*~They're Back!~*`
*Hello! My Toppy and Eveie bun-buns are back! Hurray! We picked them up yesterday. Bad news: They peed in their carrier and then the pee went onto my dad's car chair. From no on, he says if we have to transport them, they'll be at the back. Hmph. It isn't fair, not really. They've been sitting in the carrier for so long... no wonder they HAVE to urinate. It isn't fair. Uh-unh, it isn't. Perhaps I should start a petition or something... ... on second thoughts, maybe not. I mean, they don't go out much. So it's okay, I suppose.
*It's the Wings cross-country today. 3.7km. It should be okay, considering that the Macritchie one was 4.1km. Haiz...

`*~'Flee 'Fly 'Flight!~*`
*Guten Tag! I'm back from Bangkok. Okay... before I lauch myself into telling what I did/ate/hours I slept(!)/saw, I'm quite sure you will want to know what I bought. Yupsies. I bought somehting for some of you. Happy? Here's the list:
*Special requests
Huiying> 1 BLACK pencil case & 1 BROWNISH-GREEN bag(dunno whether it's duffel or not)
Melissa>A BLACKISH-WHITE sling bag with some stuff printed on it
Manman-tha> A PINK pencil case
*Group
Elliot> Chewing gum(3 packets) & Ice Lemon Tea sweets
SOME Trackers> Multi-coloured Rubberband Thingies(can be used as whatever you want, tie heair, bracelet, to shoot at people(!))
*That's about all. I got some keychains too. Cheap. Serious. 12 for 140baht(S$6~7) and quite cute. And a sling bag that I hope can be used for school. Oh yes, and handphone covers for my 7260, to keep it from looking too ordinary. I can 发誓 that I've seen more than 10 people with the same phone as me. There's already 3 others in Elliot.
*Oh yes, and I'm now declaring that MANGO WITH STICKY RICE is now, officially, my favourite dessert. I ate some in Thailand. It tastes so great! Hurray! Now I'm sort of addicted to thinking about it. Haha.
*On my birthday, my parents brought me to MBK's Black Canyon Coffee Cafe. I had a chicken salad and 'Special Rice'. And we met a ang mo guy called Jon. He talked to us and we found at that he adopted his kids. Three. From China. Have you heard of such a guy like him? Hardly. Also, he piad our meal for us. Seriously. And 'twas my birthday, too. Three cheers to Jon! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip hurray! Hip hip HURRAY!
* I told my dad that for my birthday, I want $50 to go to Borders and Kino. But I'm quite sure I'll only use half of it because the book I want, The Crow by Alison Croggon, isn't out yet. And so's Tammy's The Provost Dog's series. So I'll just have to wait, wait and WAIT for it to come out... Haiz... I think I'll go on Thursday, if there isn't any gatherings/ family outings.
*Tonight, we're going to my Grandma's to fetch Toppy and Eveie back. I think they'll be FAT. Everyone who stays at my Grandma's usually exit the house gaining a few grammes. I'm not kidding. Dinnertime, you HAVE to eat. Or else... And the food's great too, so you'll always be hungry for more. I try my best not to stay there, anymore. I don't want to become...er...plump.
*I'm going to fanfiction.net now. Then I'm going to do my homewrok. See you later, alligators!

`*~March Holidays Are Here~*`
*Hallo Volks! I'm at the Airport now, taking off for Bangkok soon. I've promoised some people some stuff. Melissa, a sling bag(black without anything) and Huiying, a duffel bag(blue, white or purple). And I'll try my best to get 70 bookmarks, 36 for Elliotians and teachers, 30 over for the trackers.
*When I get back, I will be very busy. Why? Becuse, when I'm back next tuesday, Wednesday will be for Tracking, Thursday for whtever gathering people wants me to go to, Friday for the Wings X-country. Haiz... very busy again. Tell me again, why did I join Track ?
*With this very not-free week, I hope I'll be able to finish my holiday homework. Tere's Chinese, LA, History and Maths. I'm bring 3 of them to Thailand to complete, whether on the plane or at the hotel.
*It's my birthday tomorrow. Yeah! I've alredy recieved several presents. From Chuo Li, two EXTREMELY FRAGILE ceramic rabbits, from Monica, a head cushion thingy and a little brown soft toy bunny. And a box thingy from Jade. Thank you!

`*~Computer Class Now~*`
*I'm in the school lab, again. We're slugging around doing excel now. Hiaz...( I seem to sigh a lot nowadays)
*I realised that after posting yesterday, I felt better. So this proves that writing our thoughts down somwhere, be it a dairy, blog or voice recorder, helps. At least for me, it does.
*Yesterday night, at 9pm, I was watching a documentary on two chimpanzees, called Chimps:A Whisper Away From Us. They were amazing. The chimps, I mean. They think quite like us, and they really understand. I don't mean that other animals don't, but that the way chimps think is very close to how we think. For example, in the show... Oh dear. bell rang. Will continue another time. Sorry.

`*~On...Again~*`
*Hello, hello. Just decided to post another post.
*I've come up with another resolution:
1)Don't turn on my HP except at (i)7am-7.120am (ii)lunchtime (iii)either after Track or 3rLang. Reasons: It's a distraction. Why must SMSs be invented? Why can't we just use messenger pigeons like in the past? OK, I know I'm souding weird right now...
*I'm only talking on MSN from now on. That's that. And twice a week of it is enogh. But of course not blogging.
*Today, we let Toppy and Eveie out. Quite naughty again. But they've been like that all the while, so no difference. Just now, while walking along the canal with my Mum, I saw to JRT dogs. One was smaller than the other. Both of them had leashes on, and the owner let both walk without holding on to the leashes. The funny thing was that the smaller JRT held the bigger one's leash in its teeth! Can you believe it? The JRT must have picked up the skill from its owner, no? It was amusing seeing a small dog trying to lead a big dog. Haha.

Nothing that makes me sad.

`*~Back Again~*`
*I was online just now because I suddenly came up with a poem and wanted to jot it down. haiz... can't get the spacings to work. So the rabbit is out of shape. Pity...
*Yesterday, while I was editing the template, accidentally deleted everything. This morning just went to blogskins to get the same skin back. Whew... Then I realised I lost everyone's links. All those who wants me to add them, please tag me, ok?
*Just now, I went to Shi Ying's blog. Another Tracker, by the way. Then I realised another thing: Almost all Trackers talk a lot about Tracking on their blogs. Why-oh-why-oh-why? No idea. Oh well. I'm getting a little tired of everything now. I can't seem to do anything right. (look here: I'm just ranting, so things that make sense to me won't make sense to you at the moment) Why? I had to talk and talk to people who No.1 Don't like me, No.2 Finds me childish, No.3 Like me but finds me weird. So now I think everyone finds me weird. Maybe I should just start a vow of silence. Well, I think I'm really going to. Come Monday, I will :
1) Not talk to any Elliotians, except for Chuo-chuo
2) Not talk to any Trackers, except for Cassandra, Su Qin, Alyson and Sheryl
3) Talk only to my parents Toppy and Eveie
*Pretty depressing, don't you think? Well, I'm quite depressed now. No idea why. Mayhaps it's just ranting...

`*~The 'Mals Around Me~*`
*Guten Abend! I'm now back home from Tracking. We were training for short distance. I wish I didn't have to take part in stadium events. I really prefer Cross-country(within 5km, of course) , but I suppose I'll just have to run and see.
*Oh yes, I had a mint ice-cream after traning, as we were at Ngee Ann Poly's blue track. Next, I went for dinner with my Papa-weng. While I was there, I saw a pretty, pretty mouse-coloured tabby with gold-ish eyes. The aunty at the coffee stall told me she would feed the cat once the ssatll was closed. I hope it will have enough to live a comfortable life!
*Talking about animals, I'm now going to say a few things about the animal frinds I know. Firstly, of course, there's Toppy-rah(Topaz Bronzelazer Bitbit Bunnikoh) and Eveie-bun(Valentine Eve Quicksilver Bitbit Bunnikoh). I love, mag, 爱, sayang, Eveie-bun. Not that I don't like Toppy, but as always, girls prefer girls, while mothers prefer little boys(this is true for my mother, she prefers Toppy to Eveie). I'm not bias or anything, but Eveie, to me, seems quickerand more reactive(is there such a word?) than Toppy-rah. Next, there's Momo, also known as Moro, Mona-狗, Mo-shi, Momo Peach. He is my cousin's um... doggy companion?(I don't like to use the word 'pet') He's the first ever canine I've known properly. I'll try to get his photo to show you. Next, there's Bitbit, Maomao, Socks and Dash. They're Toppy's and Eveie's family, so they're quite close, I suppose. Again, I'll try to get the photos. Then there's Lucky, my other cousin's neighbour's dog. He's a Goldy, or Golden Retriever. I've known him since he was four months old. I used to know him well, but the 'connection' between us seems to have wavered. Pity... Hta's about all, I think. A startlingly short list, nein?
*The March holidays are coming, and so is my birthday. It's on the 12th, so I can't have a party or anything to celebrate, as I'll be in Bangkok from 11-14 March. Since I'm quite sure that everyone, except for me, my family(extended included), Toppy and eveie, Chuo-chuo and a few others, does not know about this extra-significant date, I think I won't get many Bunni-day(what I call a birthday) wishes or gifts. Oh well. 13th birthdays aren't that lucky, apparently.
*Have to go now! My mother has to use the computer.

`*~Back In the Lab~*`
*I promised I would be back, didn't I? I'm now in thelab and yes, I was right, the teacher IS ranting about the excel, again. I'm working on the ecxel and, at the same time, blogging.
*There's German later at 4.30pm. I plan to use the time from 1.30pm to 3pm(we have take a bus at 3pm) to rest. I haven't much homewrok today(Hurray!) so I'm going to try to climb the tree next to the school field. It isn't very hard, once you know how to get up. I've been trying for 2 weeks(not continuously, though) and just succeeded yesterday, thanks to Lizard. :)
*I'm going to eat rice today, I think. I don't want a repeat of yesterday's nose bleed. Ewww.... Really don't like blood(I won't faint or anything, it's just that I don't like it) .
*I realised I haven't been talking much about Toppy and Eveie. Here's their story in a nutshell:
On 13th February 2002(They're 3years old now) Toppy, Eveie, together with their sisters, Socks and Dash and two other little kits were born to Maomao and Bitbit. Sadly, only T, E, S and D survived. Toppy and Eveie lived with their parents at their Granny's until they were 8months, then I adopted them. Socks and Dash are still living with bitbit and Maomao, together with a cat called Yang and their Granny, Bitbitster(real name cannot be disclosed).
Toppy's and his sisters' birthdays just passed. Toppy and Eveie had a bunniday salad. I'm not sure what the toher two had.
*The bell's going to ring now. Guten Tag!

`*~Tracking, German, Tracking, Tracking, German, Tracking~*`
*大家好!I'm pretty busy these days. I'm having to reach home after 6pm everyday, 5days a week, 2odays a month, around 200 days a year! Goodness. And I'm still a Year 1! Guess what time will I have to reach home next year? Hmmm?
*Tomorrow's computer day. I'll most likely be blogging from the Lab. Hopefully, that is, if the teacher continues her Excel lessons, then she'll leave us alone. It's about the only day I can blog without feeling rushed.
*Today, during Tracking, I had a nose bleed. Wonderful, isn't it? I suppose it's because I didn't drink enough water or soemthing. Everyone was quite concerened. Thank you all those who helped me to procure some tissue and walked with me for that short streatch of time! Three cheers to the Trackers! The blood was all over my hands. Can you imagine that? It stopped after a while, thank goodness.
*I have to go off now. TTFN!

`*~I Not Stupid Too~*`
*Hello one and all! I just came back from watching I Not Stupid Too. Why am I online? To give a review about the movie...I think...
*I found the movie touching... Terribly touching. The protagonists are Tom, Jerry and Cheng Cai. The antagonists are their parents' attitudes in bringing them up. I think most of this story is about getting oneself to appreciate others, and to find good points in everyone. Because, regardless of how bad one is, there is sure to be a something good about him or her. Tom's good pint is that he is good at writing blogs, but his mother finds blogging a waste of time, and wants him to study harder academically. In doing so, she misses out the one thing Tom is good at. Thus, he feels that his parents are an ungrateful lot. I's quite sad, really. And Jerry's good at acting, or reading, or whatever you call it. But his parents only see him as one who wastes his moneyin Pokemon cards, not knowing much about the acting talent of Jerry's. And Cheng Cai... I suppose you're positive, you'll call him a Martial Arts expert. If you aren't... well, a gangster. Extreme contrast, nein? Actually, if their parents are able to find more time to understand their children, this wouldn't have happened. Oh well. If you haven't watched it, go on, buy a ticket and go watch it.
* My movie review isn't the best. But that's my pennypworth of thoughts. If you want more, go search up the other blogs. Logging off now...

`*~Was there, Now here~*`
*Haiz... I'm back from the airport. I suppose you can say we sent Jiaying off... If you count waving at ther retreating back 'sending off', that is.
*I'm tired, very tired. Note to all Trackers: I can only do cross-countries, if yuo get me to run short and fast, well, you're looking at the wrong person. Why do I say so? Well, considering the fact that I'm always near the end and that my ankles hurt while running 100m, you can tell that I'm not cut out to run fast. The exact opposite can be seen when I'm cross-countrying: I breathe normally, My legs don't hurt, I'm okay after the run.
*I'm going back to eating my Pork Chop Noodles. It's nice. Bye...

*Hello! Good Afternoon! I'm using the School's Libby's(Bunni talk for 'Library') computer. Lizard's sitting next to me now, viewing some photos. I will be going for Tracking later, at around 3pm, I think(according to Melissa).
*Yesterday, there wasn't any school. So, I went with Jade from Jarvix(Rhymes, doesn't it?) to Tao Nan. We didn't get to see Miss Koh... =( She was teaching the 4J-ers. Sometimes, I wish I were back in Tao Nan. Oh well...pity pity...
*After that, I took a MRT to Orchard to Borders bookstore because it was too early to go for 3rd Lang. I browsed through a bookcalled 'The Year of My German Soldier'(I'm quite close to the real title, but I can't remember it). It's about a 12 year old girl living in America. Story was set in the 1940s, I think. It's quite nice.
*Next, I went back to the Red Line and took a MRT to Bishan. There, I ate at Macdonald's with Shi En and Jia Min. It was quite fun. And we ''walked into'' Cheryl twice. Wow... O_O Also, we got a keychain for Nien An. It's her birthday on this Sunday. The gift, with 3 beads(A-N-N) and a tag(with a 何 on it) cost us a princely sum of $7++. Have you ever paid so much for a keychain? Nicht, I'm sure.
*Then,we went to the MOELC. Nothing much interesting happened then.
*Today, during PE, we ran 6 rounds. I did it in 11mins++. Next, we hurried through the monkey bars and then the Window, ending with rope-swinging.
*By the way, Jiaying is leaving for New Zealand tonight... Some of the Elliotians are going to the Airport to send her off. I may or may not, depending on what time Tracking ends. Elliot will miss our beloved Jiaying...
*We are going to Bedok Stadium to train today. Lizard says we will most likely take a MRT there. Hopefully, we won't be feeling too tired after...
*I'm logging off now. Going to browse other Blogs. TTFN!

`*~The Greatest BBQ Ever, Elliotian Style~*`
* Hello! I just came back from an Elliotian Gathering today. It was all in honour of Jiaying, who is leaving us for New Zealand this Friday...
*We had lots of food, cooked by the wonderful outdoor-BBQ-ers team. Credits go to CasMeiMei, Mr Tan and some other girls. Thank you very much for the delicious food! By the way, Miss Wee did a good job on the Tiramisu. 'Twas wonderful, heavenly, truly!
*Although many of us paid a lot for this party, it was wonderfully worth it. I mean: REALLY, really worth it.
*Oh yes, and thanks to the Elliotian Cheer Team, who cheered for the Dunmanian Trackers. It was...nice, and well...nice, I suppose. Also, thanky you Chuoli for tom-pang-ing me back to my house. :)
*I will try my best to post some photos when I get some from our class's Photographer, Janson 'da Great' .
*Cheerios now... I have to get a glass of milk, quite thirsty now. Guten Nacht!

`*~Greetings from the School Lab~*`
*Hello, hello! I'm at the DHS Computer Lab now. I'm not supposed to be typing this now...hehe... The teacher's going on and on about some Excel thing.
*I just updated my Links. I added Mabel, who's my Track and Field Senior. Oh yes, Joanne and Lizard are Trackers, too.
*This Thursday, we will not be having classes, but I still have to go for my German 3rd Language at the MOELC...*sigh* But I think my 6 years ex-classmate and present schoolmate, Huiying, and I will be going back to tao Nan to visit Miss Koh and Chenzi.
*Miss Koh is a teacher whom I highly regard. I still do. She taught me English, Maths and several other minor subjects in P5 and P6. Chenzi taught me Chinese and was also my form teacher last year.
*I have to go now... Auf Weidersehen!

*Welcome to the place where I do my 'Bunni Say'-ing! Very glad to start on a new blog...
*I'm Bunnisteffi, from 1elliot, Dunman High School.
*I absolutely LOVE rabbits, especially Toppy and Eveie, my bunny brother and sister. I do not have any siblings.
*As this is my first post, I'm sure not many know me yet, unless you read the Bunniography of Lady Daiselion-rah, which is written by mich, yours truly, or you are a certain cousin/relative/classmate/friend/aquaintance.
*I graduated from Tao Nan School, which is, to me, the Best School Ever.
*That's about all for now. Yeah, that's right. Auf Weidersehen!
