Bored. =)

Today was boring. None of the teachers came to class. Puan Chan isn't counted. She gave us our diagnostic test. Oh, by the way, her pronunciation is REALLY funny. She pronounces "ions" weirdly (I'm sure everyone knows how to pronounce ions. Anyway, it's like, "eye-ons". Something like that.). She said it "yons". Or, well, "yawns". Everyone was like, trying to control their laughter. It was funny. =)

Anyway, after break there was this Chinese seminar in the hall, for, like, 2 hours. It was MAJORLY boring. But I had some fun drawing on my hand.. heheh..

Isn't it pretty? =)

And also on Ruth's, Yee Hooi's, Shereen's, Mon Wei's and Carmen's. Michelle was sitting too far away.. =( *sniff* hehe.


Ooh, I took my level K test for Kumon. And... and... and... I MISSED group 2 by HALF A MARK. A stinking half mark. So I have to take the test AGAIN. Hmph. Should have reviewed the papers before doing the test, like the instructor said to. X.X


By the way, my mum insisted that I take a picture of my first attempt at making brownies. (I burnt them. XD ) I'm fully convinced that she means to laugh at me over that in a few years time. I shall post the picture up anyway, so that all of you can laugh at me. =)

Looks pretty bad, doesn't it? Luckily the second, third and fourth batches turned out better...

How does it compare? XP

5 Science 6 Class Gathering

Fun, Fun, FUN !! The event? --> 5S6 class gathering. At Jia Ming's HUGE house. 6th October 2007. Saturday.


It was a potluck thing, so everyone brought some food. So we ended up with A LOT of food. The guys amused themselves with the barbecue set for a long time. Fanning the charcoal and all. Guys' job, apparently. =P I made brownies.



No, you didn't read wrongly.. I made them, I really did !! *self-congratulatory smile* I made like, four batches. Which was like, way too much. I brought only two batches, and they only finished one. Not because it wasn't good! (I think.) =P There weren't many people there. A bit less than 30. And one batch is like, 24 brownies or something. So. =) It's ok. I shall bring some to the rink for the skaters to eat. So I get to poison more people. XD And I shall bring some to school on Monday too. *evil laugh*
.

So anyway, Jia Ming sent me a map to his house online, which I printed out, and I'm proud to say that I actually managed to help my mum work out which way to go. =D Of course, it wasn't that difficult, it was very straight forward... but that's not the point ! I, I , Caitlin, managed to figure it out. And that's saying something. Considering the fact that I can even get lost in Mid Valley (can you believe it? I actually DID get lost a few times in there. I blame it on my parents. They don't bring me out often enough.) =)


Well, we didn't really do that much other than eating, eating and pigging out, in general. But there was a lot of laughing and I know I had fun. Long overdue fun. Almost made me think that SPM was over.


We played this game (Michael's idea), that each person gets a card, and the person who gets the ace of spades has to do a dare. Sort of. The first unlucky one was Wei Xiang. He had to kiss Louis Nga. Of course, everything was captured on video. =) And then Wei Xiang got unlucky AGAIN. So he had to *ahem* squeeze Khee Xiong's butt, or something. XD Then Louise Soh had to talk to the speaker (in the home theatre room) as if the speaker was her lover. After that Theng Fei had to dance to a Destiny Child song. And he got unlucky AGAIN. He and Bin Yun had to feed each other brownies.. blindfolded!! I took this video, so I'll attach it if I can.. *rolls on floor laughing* I was laughing so much that I couldn't really hold the camera very steady.. =P A lot of the pictures are in Louis' camera, so I shall upload them when I get them from him. =)

This was seriously fun. And my mum was SO extremely nice. I SMSed her halfway through to tell her to pick me up at 10. At 10.20 she still hadn't called me or anything, so I SMSed her.. "What time are you coming? ". It's not normal for you to be late. =P miss call me when you reach?" She called me a minute later, I thought she was going to tell me that she'd been waiting outside Jia Ming's house for 30 minutes already. But wonder of wonders, she said, "I just left the house 5 minutes ago, so I should be there in about 20 minutes. You sounded like you were having a lot of fun so I decided to let you stay later so you can concentrate fully on doing your Add Maths and Chemistry revision tomorrow." So cool, right? I mean, That's like, my mum speaking. She picked me up late. At, like, 11 p.m. I was, and am still totally stunned. =)




Anyway. Pictures............... XP

Jennie. Me.

Theng Fei. Me. -look at me, I'm TALL !! *gloats* Hey, I need to gloat whenever I can, okay?? The chance doesn't come very often. XD -

Me. Ruthie.

Me. Jia Ming's sister. Isn't she just ADORABLE?

Shiyi.. I know this is a few hours late.. but.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! =) XOXO !!

..regret..

There's one thing I really regret. Something I should have done. Something I didn't do. Something I'll never get the chance to do now. I should have joined Calyx. When I see the bond between all of them..

It makes me feel sad, because I could've been a part of that. They're all so close, like sisters.

And I really regret that I'm not a part of that. The thing that makes it worse is that I COULD have been part of that.

I DID join, in form 3, during the holidays. For almost 3 months. I even went for one of the camps. But I didn't continue after the holidays.. I didn't continue and I really regret it. Sigh.. Quite a few of them tried to persuade me to stay on.. Shereen, especially.. She even told me I could make the top 5 (AJK post) and squad for 2006.. But I still listened to my mum when she told me no. I could have tried harder to persuade her to let me join. But I didn't. I guess I was partly afraid of joining the squad as well.. Afraid I wasn't good enough. Plus, I can't dance for nuts. I think.

But still... I reconsidered it again.. after Cheer 2006. I could still make the squad for Cheer 2007. But what with some.. situations and all.. -he said to join, but I knew he didn't like it- .. I just gave the same excuse.. Mum didn't let me join.

And I regret it so much.

good luck..............

Ice. Figure Skating. Passion.

Practice makes perfect.


For those who don't know, this is Michelle Kwan, a living figure skating legend.


Nobody's perfect, so why practice?


And me. The figure skater wannabe.

The quote above, "Practice makes perfect. Nobody's perfect, so why practice?" is from Bryan Voo. Hope you don't mind me using it, Bryan. =P

Figure skating rocks. I wouldn't say I'm good at it. In fact I'd probably say it's the opposite of that. But when I'm out there on the ice.. Who cares what other people think of me? It feels so good to be on ice, to skate fast and feel the cool air..

No one else matters.

Training for a competition IS hard, and very tiring for the most part. All those practices at 5 a.m., all the shouting from my coach, all the falls, the frustration of being blocked while making futile attempts to jump.. But so worth it. When the time comes.. the judges in a corner, curious people watching, friends and family cheering.. I'm alone on the ice. And I love being there. I may not be good at it, but hey, I'm passionate about it, and I like performing. Being there, having gotten to that level, it makes me feel so happy. Passion for the ice. That is SO important. And people can sense it. Whether you're happy to be there, or whether you're nervous like hell.

But I don't care what people think. I don't care if I fall. Okay, fine, I do care if I fall. But I'm just going out there to do my best. To give my best. And I only have two and a half minutes to do it. So I'm going to make it worth all the hard work and effort and practice. And in the end, all that matters is that I had fun. Even if I get last placing, I still had fun practicing and being on the ice.

I love the ice. =)

Of three flying pigs and a dancing peacock. =) *just excuse me, i'm in a good mood*

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!

Trials are OVER !

Shucks.

It doesn’t sound as good as it should.

Because trials ended yesterday.

And I’m posting this today.

Mum’s fault. She was being a killjoy. She refused to let me use the computer. Instead, I got to go for a two and a half hour chemistry tuition.

And watch TV.

But maybe staying up till 2 a.m. to watch cartoons isn’t the best idea I’ve had recently, considering I had to wake up in four hours.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I had to do SOMETHING to mark the end of trial examinations. Anyway, it wasn’t all cartoons. I watched Parental Control (the guy chose his own girl in the end, but she’s pretty whinny and is REALLY rude to his parents), Lady and the Tramp (Scamp’s Return, actually.. Scamp and Angel are soooooooo adorable!!), wanna come in? (quote the guy who didn’t win – “I learnt how to spell ice-cold today, it’s R-E-G-I-N-A.” XD ), half of Pride and Prejudice (AGAIN. Just love that show), quarter of the Wild Thornberrys (pretty idiotic), Jake Long the American Dragon (he and Rose are so super sweet!!), bit of MTV music video awards (Beyonce’s dress was downright UGH.), Lizzie Mcguire and That’s So Raven.

Oh come on. Stop laughing at me! Watching cartoons all night isn’t THAT bad.

Or childish.

Dratz, who am I kidding.

There. Go on. Laugh.





p.s- I'm better off missing him than you.. but I guess I have to stick to just being grateful.. *tough luck huh. Some people are just so lucky and they just take it for granted.* I suppose everything happens for a reason.
