i got up in a really good mood today.

i went to class and gave jia ying a BIG grin and went' GOOD MORNING!!!' hahaha, the poor girl looked shocked. XD and on my way to the toilet, i told the cleaner, 'have a nice day!!' haha. XD


the great after-effects of having a good qt the night before




i feel real proud of our rs, auntie background picture and all. XD

it's meaningful, at least more meaningful than our sec 2 topic on the effect of catnip on cats. haha.

today, when we went down to the hospice, we were colour pencil sharpeners and waitresses. haha, we sat there and helped them with colouring for bout... an hour? i was sharpening pencils the whole time before tea. haha. and there were 2 rjc girls there. they were really friendly to us. XD nice seniors.



jess got her blueberry waffles at last. i got a crepe and i asked for no mayo. the man put thousand island sauce as replacement. aiyo.

2.4 tmr!

help me think of some excuses to skip. XD




jess, jessie and i didnt go for french today.

we all fell asleep in 403 and we were so sound asleep tt we didnt wake up till jessie did. it was 4.

so we went down to see if the moelc bus was still there and we saw it leaving the sch gate.

then being so broke (we had about 6 dollars between the 3 of us), we had to take a bus. and we took the wrong bus but we didnt realise it till it reached the expressway. how smart is that.







rs presentation was quite ok. jess and i were laughing like nutters over the background of the presentation. it was this blue blackground with flowers and it really looked like some hawaiian theme. haha, which is really bad for a project like hospice care.






poor chelsia has a bad nose. must be the horrible aircon tt sends the 3 of us to the artic everyday.

our hands were so frozen by the last block that we couldnt write anything. and chelsia just fell asleep for the last 20 minutes.

today i had the first exam of my life in which i could EAT!!!!!
cheryl lynn and i were eating honey stars while writing our essays. XD

mr jeremy is the best. XD

the juniors blog interesting posts. esp this one tt florence copied from kelly who adapted it from char.

ok, char ain't a junior.



Things happening on the day of tramp comp

1. You wake up in the morning, (for me that's about 6.40 am), rub your eyes, and suddenly, everything comes crashing down on you - today is THE day.
2. You bathe, even in hot water you're shivering badly. Put on your "luckiest" clothes, saying a silent prayer that hopefully these clothes might give you extra luck.
3. You go to school, unable to concentrate AT ALL, only thinking about the comp and visualising your routine.
4. You leave class early, your classmates wish you good luck, and you walk out of the class thinking that you will need the luck.
5. When you reach CCAB, it's lots and lots of gel for you. Seniors use so much gel, and you feel that they might as well use UHU superglue. You change into your leotard, feeling so conscious of yourself.
6. You start looking around at the other gymmers. Especially those from Nanyang, SCGS and Whitley. You glare at them, giving them that "You-are-so-gonna-be-owned-by-me" look, hoping to frighten them a little.
7. You wait. Stone. Play. Cam-whore. Talk. Exchange souvenirs.
8. THEN. That very announcement is made. "Will RGS C DIVISION GIRLS PLEASE REPORT AT THE BENCH?? RGS C DIVISION GIRLS."
9. Your heart thumps. It throbs like crazy. Shakily, you and your teammates walk in a straight row with fake smiles plastered on your faces. The six of you walk over to that disgusting, hated table where the almost always biased judges sit, and they look up at you, smiling evilly, thinking to themselves: "Ooh. RGS huh? Well sorry but none of you are about to get an Indiv or a score about 7.20."
10. The reserve person goes back to her seat on the bench, while the first jumper goes up the tramp, sits in the centre, her whole body shaking with fear, as seen from the trampoline shaking so badly. The other four stand at the corners of the trampoline, each thinking and praying that everyone would do well.
11. The bell rings. You have been training and working hard just to hear this bell. That bell, non-gymnasts are always deceived by its appearance. A little silver thing that rings so chirpily and melodiously is actually this deadly thing waiting for you to die.
12. You stand up, your knees clicking so hard, your hairs are standing on its ends, all goosebumps coming out, and you force out a "happy" smile, posing daintily at the judges for about 2 seconds.
13. You turn the other way round and pose again, for another 2 seconds. By this time your brain has already frozen, and you are unable to think of anything else other than your immense fear.
14. You start jumping. You jump and jump and jump. This is what you have been training for, what you have shed tears and blood for. Just this measly 30 seconds. You have suffered and undergone so much just for this 30 seconds.
15. You finish your routine, an avalanche of thought come rushing down to you. Have you aced the routine? Or did you screw it? Did you remember to point toes? Did you forget to do any part of your routine?
16. You pose again, and your next teammate comes up, awaiting the same thing that you have just went through.
17. You stare at the scoreboard. You stare and stare, pray and pray, wishing so so badly that the first number would be a '7'. And hopefully the numbers after that would be BIGGG. The bigger the better.
18. The. Score. Comes. Out. You look. The reality of it just refuses to sink into your head, whether or not it is a good or lousy score. You start crying for joy or sobbing in sadness. Your gym friends and supporters cheer no matter what.
19. After the comp, this huge burden that has been weighing you down for so long finally leaves you, and you feel this sense of relief. Then it's more waiting for you.
20. While waiting, if you're in a good mood, you start cam-whoring with your friends, doing all sorts of stunts and taking photos of them. If you're feeling really depressed after that, you would just go back to where you left your bag, hug it, and just wish that you could turn back time. Everyone else would be trying to console you but it won't work.
21. The other gymnasts would be either glaring at you in jealousy or they would be smirking triumphantly.
22. It's time for the results and the prize presentation ceremony. You gather with everyone else, either smiling happily and in satisfaction OR just hanging about there, wanting to go home and cry cry cry.
23. The results are announced, you either get to go up and collect that stupid piece of metal, or you don't.
24. It's time for the "celebratory" or "victory" dinner whether or not you won anything.
25. If you and everyone else owned the comp, it would be jokes, jokes, more jokes, scandals etc etc. If not, then well, Paul, Jess and Claire would be trying to break the awkward silence and misery.
26. You go home, either proudly carrying this little trophy or just empty handed.

THE END OF THAT FATEFUL DAY.









oh yes! 2.4 is postponed for us!! - dances around-

and after wed, almost everything stressful will be over.tho it's not tt i'm stressed over gym now.

well, definitely not as much as those competing

and the ri coach showed some ppl's routines to the ri trampers. gosh.



luv ya fiona!!! Let's make donuts together soon! XD

RI tramp was super bouncy. I'm glad to see the seniors again, and it's such a great pleasure to write 'seniors'. XD haha dun feel so [edit]old anymore.



i'm glad our RS is moving slightly again. but oh man, i don't really want to do van help again. i was trying to listen to the lady tell me stuff and to the hospice worker teaching me how to get the patients off the van. and to seem like an active listener, i had to turn my head for bout an hour? haha when jess and i reached back to the hospice, we both were giddy and headachish. and jess sed tt she was falling asleep in the van tt she was following. haha

i'm falling asleep already. goodnight!



and btw, i think huiwen has the best blog entries i've ever read. hahaha, i love her posts man. XD

tarbet tango!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt0ooYDknck


how on earth did we manage to get 1st for routine? we were so messy compared with waddle or buckle. haha no wonder limjie had to eat so many fruit tarts to destress when drilling us. HAHA!





and my fringe has been murdered by this new hairdresser. cos i decided tt my fringe was gettting too long but the usual hairdresser wasn't in and my mum was telling me that this lady was quite ok too.

when we got there, the lady just asked me how i wanted it and then she just very carelessly took scissors and chopped it off! i almost died there and then. she was asking if it was ok and i nodded like crazy all the time thinking,'oh man, NO!!!'

i half ran out of the place and the first thing i said was,' thank goodness i didn't let her lay hands on the rest of my hair.'

oh no... damage control now. tt's what you get for betraying your regular hairdresser.



hospice again tomorrow!!! XD

more cinnamon donuts!!! hooray!

Monday, April 09, 2007

i've eaten a record amount of honeystars and honeydews today.

i brought honeystars to sch and cheryl lynn bought me honeydew and honeystars and i went home and ate more honeydew. HAHA, this is obsession man! cos i'm officially tired of chocolate for now, though i suspect it wont last. haha.


jess and I carried a yoshinoya tray paper around looking for the hospice today cos jess so smartly wrote the directions there on that paper!!! HAHA, surely we looked absolutely sane.




anyway.


thank God for jess.
yea, really. XD




trials are on sat and i've totally not trained. I felt super stiff when i was stretching earlier. man, splits hurt!

oh no ><


it's finally sinking in that trials are really near. and so is the dreaded 2.4 run of the year.



i should learn from josh and wake up at 4.30 to pray. man, that would be awesome. and i wouldn't even get into a fight if someone told me hcl smells like strawberry. HAHA!!!! XD


u know it's quite interesting that people spell my name wrong all the time.

(and when i correct them, some will even stare at me incredulously and ask me if i'm sure. I mean, of course i'm sure, it's my name!!)

shermaine, shermin, sharmaine,sher-min,charmaine,charmine.

wah every variation also have.

and the thing is, unlike people with the uncommon sounding names like my sis, sheranne, people assume that it's spelt as one of the above and so no one will ask me how it is spelt. haha that's how i get it all warped.

that's still ok but it gets annoying when people mis-spell it repeatedly. for example, at forms ballet, for 7 long years, they spelled it as shermaine though i repeatedly tried to get them to change it until i gave up and just cancelled out all the 'a's on the forms by myself. tosh. and my aunt still believes that my name does not have an 'e' at the back. haha

random rantings triggered off by someone spelling my name wrong again. haha, oh wellz, it happens all the time. XD

I'M PEELING LIKE AN ONION!!!

unlike jess, who was fascinated by the peeling and even kept her skin a a plastic bag, i was horrified. haha, my sis and i devised such a great plan to get rid of the skin. we pasted sticky tape all over my shoulders and back and off came the dead skin! hooray for exfoliation.

hahaha, now i have white normal skin coloured patches in between the burnt skin. yucky yucky, that means no tanks till it's normally coloured again. haha.




I was eating honey stars and this very random thought came into my head.

Shin is funny.

and for no reason i started laughing at shin's nonsense.
Note: I was sitting by myself.

tt's crazy. haha


the baby discuses are super cute. not as cute as lim jie's baby bunnies but still cute. haha the 3rd kind of fish we managed to breed. guppies, siamese fighters and now discuses. XD

now my dad has no reason to go buy those fish and watch 30 dollars swim around in the tank.



Praise God, it's easter!!! XD

' are u sunburnt?' or 'how's your shoulder?' has become like a greeting amongst the tarbet cheerleaders. HAHA!!!

jess is undoubtedly the most burnt. poor thing. and we've all been comparing ugly tanlines. one thin line and 1 thick line each. haha

all the videos are up on youtube except tarbet's!!! how can!

my dad bought me a new prayer bible. yay!

A day without prayer is a day without blessing
A life without prayer is a life without power


shin, fiona and paul sang me a song in class! oh man, so embarassing but thanks! XD luv you all!!! <3

and thanks to everyone who remembered. XD

i want some honeydew, or apples. i'll even settle for a pear. but there ain't no fruits!
I do have 2 huge bars and 4 tubes of chocolates though. haha, i'm sad to say i managed to munch my way through 1 tube and half a bar so far. amazing aren't i?

hmmm... 265 days to christmas.

i feel so free because ss pt's been extended to sat. i'm supposed to be doing RS now, and all i did was edit my slides. oops.

jess and i were discussing her e-gig and my d n d during french today. hmm... i hope our comm can be as bonded as hers. which should be easier since we only have 5 ppl and e-gig has 20.






The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.

jess, shi hua, lynn, christine, lim jie and i had cheerleading sleepover last night, all the scandalous story telling by someone was quite fun except tt i was really sleepy. haha, and jess was studying maths!!!! crazy!

we woke up early in the morning, christine and i decided to bathe and wash our hair again. haha, wore costumes, did make up and hair stuff and went down to the stadium. the first thing we did was not to practise, not to cheer, not to touch up make up, but to tie shoe laces. yes,tie shoe laces. we sat there for bout half an hour changing our shoe laces to the red and black ones. and i've got a really horrible toga tanline and sun burn from... umm the sun? hmm, we did ok i think, considering the other houses were all so good. yepp.

i think sarah and i used up half of shi hua's conterpain cream to split. whoops.

and now, i can eat!!! no more worries about killing the skirt. like i did this morning when i sneezed. haha.

anyway, it was fun and i'll have something to look back on since it's likely that the other wont turn out well for me. yepp.

and i really think i'll miss the team.
lynn'd better send us the photos soon. XD




i'm trying to draw my ss pt now, and i'm trying to draw muscles. and it doesn't look one bit like muscles.

it looks like a straw with two uneven bumps. oh no






oh , yes cell picnic.

wah fun too. XD

at first, we were throwing water bombs
then we started throwing wet sponges
and then ppl starting using the entire bucket to dunk water

man, i just bathed in the morning and my hair got so wet again. haha, the girls didn't change out, so jess, yuhui, joong yan, abi and i were shivering away at service. oh man, keith's leaving so soon!!! HOW CAN????


i've got a great cell. XD
