The Actual Photograph i sent in :

The one that appeared on papers:

It came as quite a surprised to me when we had our usual Newspaper Reading on English Lesson...and Shu Yin who was sitting beside me, flipped through Straits' Times' IN and was like "Jacinda, you take one ah!?" While she pointed at the picture on the paper. I was apparantly very stunned la. I couldn't believe what i was seeing, then i straight away flipped through my own copy. Then i just sit there staring for quite some time before everyone else starts asking me about it. It was just right after our rollerbladin enrichment, and i was evidently happy that we had skated, and i've learnt something new. So that mode of highness+happiness was still lingering around me. I felt so so... happy.. more than happy itself. Like a sense of warmth and achievement... =) I shall upload pics soon, blogger doesn't seem to be able to load the pics up right now =A new week has started again, more assignments coming to their datelines. Time to rush and do last min. work again!! Arh!!

Times when one is spending a whole day alone...one tends to drift back to the past and reminise a lot of past memories.It should be a good and a bad thing. But oh well, it's all in the mind. Shan't elaborate more, because i have no idea how else to continue either...

I've seen and heard, not a lot, but a considerable amount to allow me to feel very disappointed.Sometimes in a school, i don't understand why students always blame teachers when they met out certain punishments. I know students feel the anger in them, but who has they to blame? Themselves.When a problem arises, the students pushes the full blame of it to the teacher. Not once have they reflected on their mistakes. Why won't guys grow up and think? I really wonder what's up in their brains. Have they ever thought why the teacher is taking action BECAUSE the students were the ones who misbehaved. If there is no one to correct at a young age, who will then do the shit when you grow up? No one. I really do not get it... haiz.. At such an age, you should not be thinking in such a way anymore.. not anymore. It shames me to think we have the same last names but we seem to be living in 2 different worlds leading 2 different lifestyles with 2 very different ways of thinking. I don't want you to continue falling into that deep hole of yours that you created, but i don't know how... I really wanna wait for the day when you live a good upright life.

29/07/06 SNS

It's 3.30am and i've just had a shower that's so refreshing!I just serviced my super dirty skates. ANd i mean really DIRTY. With all the mud and grass and sand and water all combine to form "dog shit". Anyway, took about an hour to take out the frame and wheels and do a thorough cleaning through the whole thing. Fingers are hurting quite a bit because of the constant rubbing when i clean. Ah well, i love my skates too much!
I just came home from Skateline Saturday Night Skate(SNS). It's this night skate organized by Skateline at the last Saturday of every month. It's my first time going to a SNS. I can say i've actually gained some experience from really NICE terrains that caused my skates to be SUPER dirty.Picture this, the rain had stopped not long, with the ground still wet, and the soil and sand and everything on pavements and we skate through mud, water, sand. Incredible incredients to make your skates superman!~

Anyway, i rushed down to Woodlands MRT with Brian. Our route was from Woodlands MRT to Bishan Park. The total skate time we took was 4 hours to reach. It could have been much shorter, but because of the wet terrain that makes it really slippery and we had some minor casulties along the way so there were many times where we had to stop to allow the slower ones to catch up. We skated through forests, yes, i mean forest! lol. Well, you see, it just rained and the weather is really cooling. Plus the countless number of trees in the forest we went past. It was misty and very cooling. As if the whole place was air-conditioned. It's my first time seeing mist in Singapore. Yeah, it was very shoik to skate through such weather. We went up and down gentle slopes. Some of the slopes were really long which were nice. I think the urban skate would have been very successful IF the ground wasn't THAT wet. After the forest and all, we travelled on streets. It was deserted throughout the entire route. The highlight of the whole skate was where we went into Old Upp. Thomson Rd. It was REALLY deserted. And both sides were all trees and more trees. The road had 1 lane each only. We went through bends and slopes up and down. It was really "initial d" environment. Where the guys were racing through the roads. It was exactly the same. When i went through that whole stretch of road, it was unbelievably quiet in there. Lucky thing was that we were skating in a very large group. If i'm not wrong there should be about 50 people or more. but i still felt the creeps. GOsh... xD Some parts of that stretch had roads that were very STONY. Like they were made up of stones. SO super bumpy!! When i went through a really long part of it, it's as if i'm having a leg massage that's vibrating really hard. It vibrated my foot until they were really numb from the feeling. I kept chiong-ing through the whole part of the road. The feeling and atmostphere wasn't really exactly what you would call feeling comfortable in there. So i just kept urging myself to complete the whole thing as fast as i can and get outta that creepy place. In fact, the entire journey, i had this very funny feeling as if something kept looking and following me. Perhaps i think too much, and the place wasn't well lighted and that caused my thoughts to drift away.... Haha..

It was the first time i sweated so much! I can say first time my entire back was really really wet. Maybe i didn't know i was perspiring that much because of the cooling weather. It was really a good stamina training. The total distance should be about 20km. After really long, we finally reached Bishan Park.Had supper with Brian at Junction 8. Though i didn't eat anything.. but yeah. It was a good night. A good tiring urban skate trip. :)

Last night was a first hand experience for me at pooling! I should be proud since i picked up the basics of pool relatively fast and am still underage. xD Anyway, since the legal age to pool is 16, so i sneaked in with all adults. It was pretty safe cos they didn't check, erm, should i say they weren't even bothered to. Watched the adults play first 2 games, and tried to play when they kept urging me to TRY. And surprisingly i tried and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Even i was impressed myself that i could play that well for a first timer.
Oh, before that, we went for a seafood dinner. It was really delicious especially the large chilli and black pepper crabs that we had. And of course, my long-waited-been-craving-for-so-long sharksfin soup!! I mean, it's like i've last eaten it during Chinese New Year! And have been craving again since then. We were actually bidding farewell to one of my mom's colleague who was leaving the company.
One of them, guided me through the game. He really taught me a lot. He said i learnt very fast and played well once i got the hang of it =D And surprisingly again, i actually won a game lor. The last black ball went in damn sui! *because its jaccy-chiobu playing ma... xD

Alright. So today i went out with Ruby, Tanya, Sylvia, Chu to Sakae Sushi again. Oh, remember the time when i said i was never going there again. But oh well! =P Obviously, we went there to eat. All of us kinda like really stuff ourselves with sushi and more sushi. And we have the very usual crazying and siao charbo-ing going on. Many people were actually looking at us, who cares la... Laugh also cannot. See see see, very pretty issit must see so much. sheesh!
HAHAHA... anyway, we had loads of fun and i really enjoyed my time with you guys. Love every of you a lot! ;)

I've just experienced some sort of terrifying and horrifying and interesting encounter. It's not as exaggerated as it sounds but yeah. I found out something very interesting about the way lizards crawl.
Let me show some pictures to elaborate what i mean..



In the meantime while its uploading...
You realise that the webbed feet of lizards, those suction pads seem to come out and stick onto my wall about 1cm away from its feet. It seems as though it dropped something. However, when it crawls away from the spot, you realised that "thing" that they drop isn't there anymore. This is so amazing. And i had a really close up encounter with it.
THe pics that i had taken were very blurred because it was the full zoomed in of my cam. I'm scared of lizards. so that explains why im afraid of getting close to them. It was them who got close to me. XD

WAH! Today's Chinese Oral was BELY GOOT AH!!
To this date then i realised that i can't speak a proper sentence in mandarin. It was so damn comical! i really can't imagine if all the students taking the oral were to be recorded and filmed down and then replay to review their performance. I will laugh and die of laughter. I really don't have the face to call myself a higher mother tongue student. LOL. GOSH!! The scenes of me mixing up all the words just trying to phrase a sentence out. What can i say? FLUNK the thing already la. Chinese standard of Jacinda sucks. [well at least not as bad as the person who gets eaten up by pandas and bears in beijing because he doesn't even understand chinese.GAYMAGNET! WAHAHA. Cheer up la! :)]
Ok. So that was one thing enough to keep me laughing for the rest of my life for what i've said during the oral. ANyway! SHu yin the noob is really much pro-ded than me lor. I can't imagine she said something about the worm becoming a cocoon, then turning into a butterfly. Well what she was trying to say "turning a new leaf". OMG. Her imagination is really very good. I really really have no idea how she came out with that! >.<


It's been 2 weeks since i last skated. People, please be prepared to see me skate around Singapore soon enough! =D OR not only me but SGSkaters! The Roving Jam! Check us out : www.skate.sg/forum
=D

I'm back! Sense the excitement!? wahahaha!
Yes the chio chio one.. the cute cute one... is finally back! ^^ Feeling so much better too =D
Today was a fun day. We had a carnival day...the highlight of the event is of course me whacking the little K1 kids' heads from Tung Ling Kindergarden. WAHAHAH... that sounded very mean. Was jus using a very harmless balloon and hitting very lightly and "HOOOOOOo!!" -ing around the class like some maniac. Of course, ended up scaring the little kiddies. xD But they also joined in and wanted to play with me okay!! One particular guy was so cute! He has his ear PIERCED! And he has this super trendy hairstyle that looks like half toot half cute. =\ Guess what, he's only 5! And his parents brought him to pierce his ears. SO cool! Anyway, he was quite anti-social, and if you guys don't know by now, i love bullying little kids. I like to see their fustrated-angry-but-helpless-face! LOL! So i was trying to warm up with him and get him to join in the fun. Started playing with the puppets and i said stupid things to him with the puppet which i shall not reveal here because it's kind of censored for an innocent little mind. He was smiling throughout when i played with him lah, let's hope it was a memorable day for him and of course the rest of the kiddies. Oh! i took a photo with him, shall upload it soon! =D He has a cool name! -JAY!- Jay chou? lol. The next jay chou ah xD Or jay lim? hahaha.

So with all the events that took place, my arenaline shot high today. (that sentence doens't really make sense)
Went out with ruby,chu,sylvia,jia xin...
we went parkway, walked past this group of guys who said hi to us =\ and ya, crazy ruby go say "BYE!" good lor.. then not long when we were having our lunch furhter down at Macs, this guy who looked like in his 20s came and ask for Chu's number because one of the guys over there wants. LAME LOR!! Guess what chu said? "999."
LOL. damn funny lah. then the guy was "oh ok thanks alot" PENG CAN!! so lame. Sheesh.
Headed to ruby's house and had some little crazy stuffs going on in there...shall be a little private =P

Finally we RUSHED back to school for the subj. combi. briefing for sec 3...quite an exciting day eh... But the talk was very boring. I realised that many parents were stoning through the talk. Personally, my mom fell asleep! And ruby's mom fell asleep too. So lousy la..can make until parents also slp, what more us students? So i should say this time round the teachers didn't really manage to do a good job. No offense, but they should improve and make the talk a livelier one than reading from ppt slides and all...

Lastly, i'm thinking of proposing to the school about a skating club. Still K-I-V-ing the plan though. WAiting for the netball selections to be out before i make further plans. But i have something in mind already. Let's hope everything sails smoothly for what i've been planning. =)

I seriously need a stress-reliever!
I don't even know i worked that hard until i stop working and the after effects are so overwhelming. The compressed feeling that i have in my head makes me so fustrated and i feel like just whacking something or someone and even myself. My forehead is burning hot and gonna explode anytime but there's no fever. ARGH! How long will this damn thing last.. i feel so pissed so fustrated of not being well.
I feel very out of breath easily. Today when i came out of the shower after a long sleep, i felt so breathless, like i've just ran finished a 100m sprint. Then my head was kinda spinning. Symptoms of low blood? Perhaps...That explains why half the time of my life, my face is almost like ghost..
I'm so scared of netball... I'm afraid of going for thur's training. It's like my sickness is on and off. Then i scared when i'm alright, i go ahead with training, and then after that, everything comes in again. And i'm so afraid to skip trainings. Afraid of the people, afraid of my fitness, afraid of the consequences. Why do i keep stressing myself so hard... I really need a break. Can anyone tell me how to stop your mind from thinking? I can't help it. I take deep breaths and relax myself then i start thinking of everything again. Then my head starts to hurt so much.
It's a good sign that i'm not coughing as much now. Flu's better too. The thing that bothers me is my headache..i can't do anything properly. =\ I even tripped over my own legs when i walk up and down stairs...not to mention even on flat ground. i feel so clumsy and drowsy, like no energy to walk no energy to do anything.
Please hurry let this month pass, let me not get into B'div, let me relax myself from all the deadlines of assignments. Just let me have back my old life k?

Oh yeah...here comes this little 小鬼! It means cheeky girl la for people who can get eaten by bears and pandas in beijing because that particular one doesn't understand chinese even though that particular one is a chinese. SHeesh!
Thanks to every one who cared for me so much.
Let's start the long story for some puzzled few.
Last monday had dry cough, i thought it was just ok ok normal cough... maybe heatiness caused it. Oh yea. before that, i had this wierd wierd symptom where i had the tendency to keeep swallowing my saliva and feel nauseous. Tan was experiencing the same thing too.
After that it developed into a dry cough. And i lost my appetite. 2 days later. Here comes Mr and Mrs. Flu. FLooded my nose with water. =Friday was the part where i started having slightly serious migrane. Went home straight after school and realised had a fever. Not all lor! My cough developed into one with plegm le.
Saturday whole day cough like siao with fever running too. Sunday much better. And i was studying so hardly on Sunday.
Let's see.. i think i drew about 10 quadratic graphs consecutively. Please applaud for me! Do until so pek chek.
Then had to study for science. And i had no idea why. Started having migrane again. Then stopped studying.
Monday woke up at 5a.m and started studying for science.
Today sch was alright. That's when i it was after recess, first period. Wa seh!! Coughed like SIAO LIKE THAT. Cough until like gonna cough blood out. This is one of the worst coughs i ever experienced man. I coughed until i teared. And worse part was, the feeling was so bad that when i cough its like all my food are being forced out from the stomach.
I interuppted the lesson halfway, ran to toilet. Coughed until buay tahan liao. Want puke can feel puke but just never come out!!! Then i thought it was ok after spending abt 5 mins in the toilet. Went back class. WAH! same pattern again. Rushed into toilet with my hand signalling to teacher lol. This time really like want cough my lungs out. The experience is so so bad. Then dunno why... suddenly tanya rushed into toilet like so jing zhang like that. I see her face i also want laugh. Then the teacher also rushed into toilet. She musta seen how red and teary my face was from "geking" so much when i cough. Then she ask farah pack my bag. I dunno why lor.. but i was practically coughing and shivering with voice trembling and feeling damn cold on the outside and sweating at same time. =Went general office with tanya.. she SO CUTE LA... she felt my hands sooo cold then she was like rubbing rubbing rubbing like what ah.. molesting me like that. lol. xD Funny sia. then i see her face so worried i also want laugh.. gosh. Makes me realise that she SO caring horrrrr =P Thanks alot.
Thanks everyone for all your care and concern. i really appreciate it a lot. You guys know who you are :)
Oh i forgot to add that i have a very sexy voice with all the plegm, cough, and flu now. It sounds like zZzZZzZZz.

There's some fabulous sunset pics that i've taken but tooo lazy to upload. Maybe some other time. I gonna go rest and study early again! Take good care of yourselves people! =D

The week is coming to an end already. Wooo, thats fast!
I'm feeling as though Monday just started or this week just started only.
*cough cough* My head hurts a lot. I'm getting used to the pain already. *cough cough*
Argh! How come will pain ah..? Either i think too much of because i worry too much about a lot of things. But at times when i'm just relaxing and doing nothing. E.g before going to bed. My head still hurts. Wierd.
*cough cough* And my throat hurts so much! Been coughing since the start of this week. Now i know the feeling of having a dry cough. It sucks so much. At least a cough with phlegm isn't that bad because your throat doesn't have much friction against each other when you cough. But a dry cough is practically using a sand paper to rub on it and worsen the condition of the throat.
I've been practising Jay Chou - Qing Tian on the guitar every day! until my fingers are hurting now. The bones are kinda wierd. Like my 3rd finger is all the way straight at the end =\ I mean there's a joint there which makes your finger bend a little. I pressed the guitar strings too much until its all straight now. So pain! lol... Thats for all the determination i had in trying to get the right strumming for the song.
This week had maths and eng C.A. I put in a lot of effort for maths, i studied for english. Well, let's just hope the starting of these exams don't disappoint and discourage me.
We had our chinese compo too. One of the topics was on <珍惜拥有的--〉 direct translation - Treasuring what we have.
It was very similar to what i had blogged about in my previous post. THE THING IS> i typed that post in english, my thoughts were in english. And when i tried IN CHINESE, it just didn't work out the way i wanted. So the meaning and "feel" of the compo isn't really there and deep enough. =
Today we had friendly netball matches with UK and Australia's schools. It was cool. The experience was, well, i could say, once in a lifetime.
Obviously as we all know, eurasians are generally bigger phyisically and all. Furthermore, most of them are older than us, 15,16,17s year olds. Imagine that, we look like 9,10 year olds beside them!!! It was really comical. I couldn't help by noticing that majority were almost a head taller than most of our teamates. Gosh. But it was really fun! They were really friendly, as compared to Singaporeans, who are DAO like dunno what when we play friendlies with other schools. I like their accent too. Really strong englishy kind. One of the brunette reminds me of my American Born Chinese cousin who's living in the US now. She resembles her a lot. Thinking back, i miss my cousins in the US. It's been 4 years since i've last seen them. I miss my uncle and aunt too! Well, perhaps more of my uncle who's the eurasian. Cause, in his maternal side, meaning his Singaporean's niece and nephews, im the his only niece. So he loves me a lot =D Haha~!
Wondering when's the next time we will meet again :)

I checked my statistics on 9th July and realised some joker digged out all my old posts to read. Surprised surprised... so much time to read all my posts... haha.. the joker read from 23:45:54 until 00:26:15
Ok, for those slower people, it means 11.45pm to 12.26am.
*scratches head* Hmmm... who could be so free? I'm curious to find out... =)


Ya, that's all the pages viewed and even more... Haha!

My CPU sucks big time. I was blogging quite a long entry you should say... with much thoughts in it. And poof, it hanged on me! All gone. Yay! -.-Sheeeeesh! =(

So, i was saying...Why do parents wanna give birth? One thing aside, perhaps pressure from the older generation that there must be boys carrying on the surname. But i see that isn't the case for the year 2006.That's where the root of the problem. Parents giving birth to us.The first few months of our lives are the most peaceful cos we lived like a king. We cry and our demands are our parents' wishes.
However, things start to change once we hit the very cute and young age of 2,3,4.Parents start to drill us with work. The kiasu ones send their kids to endless workshops and classes to have a early head start for their child.Drawing class, Maths classes, English classes, Dance classes, Piano lessons and whatnots. Isn't it a bit too taxing for their cute little ones?
Though young as they may be, they have feelings too.Yeah, i know. "I want my child to study; do well in their lives and have a bright future; earn much more than me, lead a better life."Sometimes, i think it's a little overboard. Parents FORCE their kids to have piano lessons/ballet classes at a very young age. They think their kids would appreciate and ENJOY that they spent that few thousands on them just for the lessons. That's just the early start of the terrible lives they would have.Next, when they start Nursery; here comes the endless languages classes, art classes, maths classes. Primary school, wow, parents start planning for their secondary school life already.Every single little thing are their parents' wishes. Have they even have the teeny weeny bit of a chance to make their own decisions? No.
So what if your kid is the next Einstein? Are they enjoying what they are doing? Is that what they want?Parents are too selfish to spare a thought for what their child might wanna do. They make decisions before they can even open their mouths.
They say that "We were too weak financially to afford for piano lessons, violin lessons, and now, since we can afford it, we want you to fulfil our wishes and what we couldn't and didnt have the chance to do so."
I really beg to differ and these parents should in turn think why their kids are rebelling.
BECAUSE the problem lies with parents themselves.Many good examples around me that i can name that they are forced into learning something they do not wish to do so. But because it's their parents' wishes.To put it in a harsher manner, we kids, are the slaves that listen to our masters to fulfil their demands and requests regardless we like it or not.

I'm really glad that my mom isn't the sort stated above. She is more of a friend than a mom. I can speak to her what i feel.My mom once mentioned that she wanted to send me to ballet classes, piano classes. But everytime i would reject her because i have no interest. She said she didn't have the chance to do so when she was young so she thought i might fulfil her wish to do so too. The good thing is that, she listens. She understands that nothing is gonna work by the hard way. Perhaps that is also how i was brought up that i learn a lot from her too. i learnt to give way and always try my best with a win-win situation. One thing since young my mom always say. She never once has to remind me to study, whether i have done my homework and sorts like that. Because she trusts that i know and i have to do my part. She has already let go the many reins that held onto me as a young child. The trust that she had in me made me want to prove so much to her that i won't disappoint her.So, what has it gotta do with parents forcing us and letting us think on ourselves? That's the difference. That's where the world is different. That's where people's point of views are different.

Yes, i admit i love skating. My mom acknowledges that fact. I love playing the guitar. My mom knows that too. I love listening and singing to my favourite tunes and songs, my mom knows all. She has never forced me to do something i don't like. She lets me choose my path. During the time when we were done with PSLE, and next was choosing our sec schs. I have to say that all the schools were choosen by me. My mom never picked any for me at all. I really have an extraordinary mom who understands what kids need nowadays. I do sympathise a lot for those whose parents have such selfish thinkings that they want their kids to fulfil what they want. It is just so not justified!

People Envy Your Confidence

You have the attitude and self esteem to take on anything. Failure is beyond not an option for you - it doesn't even cross your mind. People envy your ability to take on any challenge ... and they're secretly afraid you think you're better than them. You don't. You're just sure of yourself.

What Do People Envy About You?

I think so too! =D

Just came back from class party BBQ!
Still quite high from the after effects =hahaha!
I'm actually not sunburnt!! While the rest are really like CHAO TA!!
Reached there after tuition with Tan, first thing was skate!! WIth Sylvia and Ruby the slow poke!
We skated from lagoon to Safra!
It isn't actually very long distance one lor~ But the hot midday sun made it seemed like we were hiking through the desert. Wait, hike;desert? HAHA... no link =Anyway, we were half dying through the fiery sun burning down at us. I felt like dying of thirst!!

After what seemed like eternity we finally reached Safra and went all the way back to Lagoon! Got a drink and had a rest.
Not long, we started the fire and bbq le!
Syafiqah started the fire while i was in charge of bbq-ing the food!
Then tanya the pro blackie took over after that. I must say she's not bad at doing the fire job!! She can go be a satay seller already! wahahahha!
And yes, i know everyone admits that the chicken wings were damn delicious! Only 2-3 weren't well cooked at some parts though.
Ms Della condemned me that i'm not a good cook! WTF FTW! Prove her wrong sia!
WAHAHA! so everyone MUST vote for me be chef for IAP children's party hor!!!!
