Went West Mall just now with my brother and omg I just hate these people.

His friend in my house now and I feel like screaming at him to get out because every sentence that comes out of his mouth there's an a**hole here and an a**hole there just shut up will you? And every 2 minutes he walks up behind my back and shouts HELLO in a way that bursts my eardrums oh damn you. Stupid little irritating 7 year old freaks they don't get the meaning of 'can you be a bit more quiter' neither do they understand 'erm I need that piece of paper so don't ... tear that... into half oh heck you've already done it'. My head's going to go POOM soon if he doesn't stop throwing swear words around.

My head's in a mess right now:X

My last blog post that I wrote in Reb's hse got deleted by her comT.T So I have to start all over again):Btw, warning: I'm gonna be blogging about 5 days of activities in Gold Coast so it's going to be a very long post ahead(: 

Day 6
First day of challenge(: So there was the registration and blah and we went to our classrooms for lesson(: Vivian and yunan were in my class and another 3 from NAS. Shan Xuan (the one who had an identity-mix with me) was in zhao's grp, Edenuis in my grp and Pana in Vivian's grp. But anyway, in the morning, we didn't do anything related to the challenge, just some problem-solving qns based on photos, then the 6 of us from Sg were working together cos Dr Geiger wasn't aware of the groupings... Haha it was really quite fun working with them and me zhao and pana were just arguing with each other most of the time... In the end I think I whacked pana over the head:P MwahahaxD I mean... oops. Ok so there was morning tea and all and after lunch Dr Geiger told us to split into our groupings for the challenge cos I think he said he asked some other person during the break and found out about the groupings. So in my group there was Keely again(:, Edenuis from NAS, Marian from another school and Liam who disappeared on the second day. Haha so everyone was from diff schools. Basically we spent the entire afternoon touring the school, taking pictures of structures that could be used as questions and thinking up what to do for the challenge. Haha by the end of the day Yunan was freaking out cos her group didn't have a single question in mind. So after the day at Griffith University, we went back to BW to prep for the shopping session at Robina Shopping Centre. Hmm ok so we had dinner first with the 2 teachers from ABPC. Ate Hungry Jacks which is like Burger King in Sg except that everything came in triple upsized proportions. After that the female teacher brought us to the chocolate shop to look around and then we split up 3-3. WuYou Vivian and I went to shop for clothes and stuff while Zhao went with Amanda and JiaQi to look for presents(: Haha in the end we didn't buy much cos there wasn't anything niceD: Oh I bought this cube like thingum from this gift shop and there's the anatomy of the human body on it so you can fold and unfold the cube to show more pictures but oh dear I'm not describing it very well here am I? Haha I bet nobody understands what I'm saying here:P Anyway, after blah and blah we reached BW at night like super duper late >< Zhao was still freaking out btw cos she didn't have a qn yet. Hmm was it Day 6 that I got a fever?  Haha cos of the stupid ulcer bleah. Oh it was day 3-5 haha nvm. Did I mention the super huge ulcer I was having (actually there were 2)? Haha made me so irritated that my temp went up:X And it looked totally like rotten flesh x.x

Day 7
Friday! 2nd and last day of the challenge. So. Liam didn't turn up so there were only 4 of us in the group and our question was based on the aircon right above our table=] We spent the entire morning rushing out the poster and were quite on time so we had some free time spent doing nonsensical stuff and wrecking the classroom:P after lunch we presented to the class and then went to the LT to post all the posters up and then there was the Awards Ceremony! Haha we had this talk by Dr Phil Stocks first followed by the announcement of the winning teams. Zhao's group and Lydia's group won the challenge cos it was by class so there was no overall champion or anything. Haha my buddy's team won also:O Smartass. And they won a GC each which is like 200 bucks o.o After the challenge we went straight for the cruise:D Haha it was awesome though I nearly got pushed in-.- anyway it was a sunset cruise so the view was really good and we were singing songs like Dedication and At the Beginning over and over again(: Dinner was on cruise as well and the food was great though there was a bit too much cheese for it to be edible:X Haha then we got our certs and everthing(: After we got back to BW we spent quite some time playing cards before it got really late><

Day 8
Movie world visit was AWESOME:D Haha we went on all of the major rides and watched stunt drivers do their thing and played games and most of us won something however small it is and we did some shopping and I think it was the most fun-filled day in the trip(: Haha maybe it was because the pressure of the challenge was off our backs(: I bought some chocolate too at the Willy Wonka chocolate shop and it turned out to be a bit too sweet for my liking but the mint one was good(: Of course, I ate my charcoal tablets and all my medicine(: At the gate after we came out Zhao suddenly realised that she hadn't overspent:O Haha cos she counted 3 notes in her wallet and thought she only had 150 bucks left and was so stingy that she didn't buy this necklace that she really really liked then after we came out she realised that they weren't $50 notes and were actually $100 notes so she actually had 300 bucks left and regretted it so much >< Dinner was great too(: We had it at this seafood restaurant which was within walking distance of BW, next to the ice-cream parlour. The food was fine, everything was fine until spaghetti came and apparently it had cheese in it cos I ate half of it and puked it up. Oops:X Even worse,  I think Yunan or somebody at our desk cracked a joke and we were all laughing when it came up so I basically choked on my own puke=.= Just like how I choke on my saliva when I'm not used to the pillow or smtg hahaxD We had prawns and scallops as well and the other food were all quite nice(: After dinner we went to the ice-cream parlour and since Zhao then had so much extra money she treated us to ice-cream:D Yaye I finished this one(:

Day 9
Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary:D Another one of those enjoyful days(: When we got there the first activity was to feed the birds! Yeah hahaxD They gave us a pan each and poured some milk-like liquid inside. We waited for a while for the birds to come and I didn't realise they were so heavy until they were hopping on my arms o.o Haha quite cute(:  But the koalas were cuter(: Haha they were surprisingly awake when we got there cos they're asleep most of the time :O  Anyway we got to take photos with them and they were so adorable:D Haha for the first few photos its eyes were still open then after that they were closed alr so it was basically staying at the same pose for all the pics cos it was asleep! HahaxD Awww(: After that we had some talk by this person from the sanctuary who introduced to us some animals and they were pretty awesome(: I love the snake!!! Omg it was so pretty(: we had to take a tram to the next station where we saw the tasmanian devils and the echidnas which looked somewhat like porcupines... haha but they were still quite cute(: So we went to this bird show and it was very warm by then so we had ice lollies:D  After the pictures and everything we went for lunch which was basically nuggets and fries and this time we had ketchup:DD Haha like finally(: Then we went to feed the kangaroos:D Lols they were so lazy! When we got there they were just lying around as though they were sleeping. There was this joey which was hiding in the mom's pouch and someone thought the mom was giving birth-.-" Oh I went to feed the emus there too and they were quite rough which pissed off some ppl but I like them(: After that we went back to the souvenir shop at the entrance and did some shopping(: I bought a glass crystal, 2 shirts and a waterbottle that I'm using now (: Haha and Amanda found the necklace that Yunan didn't buy at Movieworld when she thought she was bankrupt(: And it costs less at Currumbin so it was a happy ending:D Hehe so after we were done with our shopping at the shop we crossed the road to another shop called HoneyWorld and of course, they sold honey(: We had this honey tasting session, which I suspect emptied the shop of all its reserves but hey, we bought loads of stuff too! Haha yeah so everyone was happy by the end of the day(: Dinner was great too(;  Though it turned out to be more like a major scandal-exposing session o.o How the hell did I get involved in those stuff @.@ Anyway dinner was at this small Chinese restaurant by a cantonese couple I think. The food was really yummy and the NAS people came too but cos the restaurant was too small they couldn't accomodate more ppl so they had to go elsewhere...Desert was fried ice-cream served in honey which was really sweet but nice(: After dinner we went back to BW and bathed then followed by part 2 of the major scandal-exposing session where I basically found out that everyone knew everyone o.o which was quite shocking:X The 6 of us talked till really late at night and then Amanda went "Hey guys can you make a horizontal space for me like now I'm going to fall asleep in 3, 2, 1..." and plonked down on to the bed straight away. Haha so cutexD So we finally went back to our own rooms.

Day 10
Nearing the end of the trip): I really don't want to go back to Sg but no choice D: Morning was spent shopping at  HarbourTown. Bought a few more pieces of clothings(: Lunch was sushi at this place called Zushi Sushi o.o The food was quite nice but I didn't like the smell of the beef:X After that was the 2-hour bus ride to Brisbane which was really long and tiring and most of us were sleeping, exceptions include ppl like me who was taking random pictures of people sleeping in the bus (esp the ppl at the back... convenient mah) but then I accidentally deleted all of them so no unglam photos for you lucky guys(: After we got there we had a stroll to the city cab place and the place was so nice! Haha enjoyed the walk, minus the being stared at part by the locals... The city cab ride was more or less another cruise again(: But we had to go back to the original place cos Wu You lost her phoneD: Dinner was at a Japanese restaurant called Wakamama if I'm not wrong, and we had ramen(: A bit too salty so I couldn't finish everything but nvm. Then we walked back to the bus and reached the airport super early-.- Bought more stuff! Omg hahaxD Chocolate and tissue cos I ran out of it:X Spent quite a lot of time at the bookstore too but couldn't find anything that was reasonably priced or was nice enough to read. Haha I'm such a picky person >< The trip was rather boring cos everyone was sleeping... and I think that's about it. End of the trip(:

I could have joined the shenzhen trip this year, or the taiwain trip, but instead I came for this Gold Coast trip. If time were to rewind and I were given another chance to choose between these 3, I would choose this once again. Because I learnt so much, gained so much, and saw so much. I wished that the journey will never end but time has to go on, so I did my best to enjoy the short period of time I have there. Thank you everyone for making it such a wonderful and unique experience(:

[92]

HI:D I'M FINALLY BACK FROM THE GOLD COAST TRIP. YOU ALL MUST MISS ME SO MUCH RIGHT:D
Haha i'm a bit high now. Plane reached Sg at 0820 this morning. Slept for abt 4 hours last night so my eyebags are huge now but I don't really care.
The challenge was so much fun:D Hope I can still go next year(: Yaye ok I'll start recounting the past 10 days based on the photos :P

Day 1
Plane ride:D I went to JP in the morning to pick up my jeans and sandals, in the process forgetting to bring the other 2 pairs of pants,, meaning I survived 10 days on 2 pairs of jeans. Stinking right now cos I just went down to play badminton with my bro and his friend(who doesn't have a single clue how to...) Sigh. Ok. Anyway I got to the wrong terminal cos I didn't read the bklet closely enough o.o Haha got there late >.< then was the checking in of luggages and everything. Mine was the smallest piece (again...), 9 kg only :O HahaxD feels good to be travelling light(:  Then Yunan and I went with the sec2s(AmandaChoo, WuYou, VivianChew, and JiaQi) to terminal 1 for lunch at this cafe place. I bought laksa and some toast ( i think i ordered the most) and they were all waiting for me in the end. Oops. After that we went to refill our bottles inside the waiting room and oh... my pen knive and scissors got confiscated D: can't believe i was so careless >< the plane ride was cool(: I watched G.I. Jones: Rise of the Cobra and half of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Finished the other half this morning:P Watched Prince Caspian last year(: The weather over there when we reached was more or less the same temperature as Singapore night time, but then they're 2 hours ahead so when we reached there, it was about 2300 Singapore time, 0100 Brisbane time. Australia itself is split into 3 diff time zones I think, and Gold Coast is in the same timezone as Brisbane so yeah. Slept on the way to our appartements.

Day 2
I think after that would be considered as the 2nd day alr. Arrived at the Blue Waters apartments at around 0300. ( From here onwards, everything's in Brisbane time.) Haha i'm like multi-tasking now. Typing my blogpost, formatting, uploading pics to fb, tagging them and putting captions, and talking with my new friend Marian from the challenge at the same time._. My brain cells are going to dieeeee >.< Oh well heck care. Of I don't use them now then when (: Ok so. got to Blue Waters (BW), unpacked a bit, brushed my teeth and did the usual stuff then went off to sleep. Morning ate at this cafe across the the back door of BW called Goldstein's. The quiche and carrot cakes are nice but the cheese was really getting to me :X After that went to Carrara Market Place to get stuff! Shopping is tiring I swear. The 6 of us together again(: Most of the time it's us together lah:D Quite a lot of stuff at the market, though I bought quite little stuff. There were the 3 glasses boxes that came as a set, and there was lunch. That's it. Then we realised that we weren't seeing any Ngee Ann people and in the end found out that they were playing cards in a corner-.- At the end of the trip we decided we need ingredients for dinner so we went to another supermart to get them and this time it's airconditioned:D We did nuggets, fruit salad, spaghetti and jelly! The nuggets were super retarded/ We spent like 20 minutes trying to heat up the pan and nothing happened because none of us realised that we were heating it at the wrong stove -.- All of them turned out to be awesome though:D Yaye(:

That's all for now. I think if I cont this my head will just go kaboomz. Seeya!

[89]

My life is soooo boring D: Band prac today. I like the new pieces! So sad that I won't get a chance to play them ): Yest was class outing(: I didn't bring my cam so there weren't any pics. 13 ppl turned up only :O Cycled mostly. Lunch with Y.T. at Macs then walked all the way to Mountbatten Road, plus it was raining. My behind is still sore D: I'm going out to look for clothes on Thursday I don't care alr. There's nothing to wear to GC._.

What do I have to do to forget it. Someone teach me please.

[87]

HIYA I'm back from my long break:D Haven't been here for a whole week:X Been really busy with this and that >< Finally a holiday! Tomorrow's gonna be a fun day lazing around(: I'm such a lonerO:

Haha I shall start recounting the week:D Last week was mostly rehearsals for Arts Fest. Monday was karaoke competition but cos most of the class went for the SSC bodyworld exhibition, we withdrew from itO: Haha the exhibition was quite interesting. Plasticination and everything. They were real bodies, once full of life. It's quite intimidating to think they're in display cases now, bodily fluids replaced with plastic to solidify the body.Can't rmb whether there was rehearsal.
Tuesday was Mass rehearsal at UCC. The horn case was damn bloody heavy x.x Couldn't be bothered taking the bus and MRT so I ended up taking the taxi. Live quite near anyway, fare was around 5 bucks.
Wednesday had netball carn! Haha we barely won any games, mostly draw but it was quite fun lah. My first NetCarn since I ponned for the prev 2 yrs:P Then HMT roundup! My first too, missed the others for AF prac >.< Afternoon was mass rehearsal, ended super early cos we were the first to perform(: Followed by challenge briefing.
Thursday I was quite sick:P Woke up with a huge headache and my flu+cough came backD: Sniffsniffcoughcough. It still hasn't gone yet): But I still went for Rafflesian Spotlight in the end cos the the headache was gone(: Was coughing throughout though. Whoops. Heh concert was quite interesting. The racist jokes were super funny lah:D No racism here, pure humour, since they were presented by Indians(: Haha love the duo! I don't really like the winner for the open cat but who cares. Those whom I voted for got 3rd for both catsD: Saw quite a few ppl I know and some ppl whom I'm supposed to know but don't recognise at all o.o My memoryT.T Haha. Reached home super late>.< Thank you so much for pretending that you don't know me, I'm glad we both agreed on that.
Friday was farewell): Haha we sang a lot of songs this year. Then was class party followed by progress reports.
I'm pretty surprised at the comments by my chinese teacher since my attitude in chinese lesson has been, on a scale of one to ten and ten being the highest, closer to -100 :P My only 4.0 is M1 as usual. 3.6 is chinese. Haha no wonder she decided to be nice(: SS and Chem 69% what the freak. M2 and Hist 3.2 also. Then EL and Bio 2.8, both 64%. I hate myself T.T Physics and french don't need to mention alr. Freaking low. I'm so happy that I got E for Philo(:
Sat was Choir concert followed by RPWS concert. Both were quite nice, but the latter could have been better if it didn't take 20 mins for the bus to come. Yest was pure slacking.
Today went to TPY for movie! Haha the sch sent us there. My Sister's Keeper, based on novel by Jodi Picoult.  Isn't the best you can find but not the worst either. I would say quite average. Nice storyline though, too bad I can't credit the director or movie producer for that. Tmrw no school cos it's HMT O's. Good luck to the sec4s(:

Yaye I think my post is quite long today. Took me so long to type:P Plus I took quite a few breaks but nevertheless the post is done(: Countdown: 12 days to Australia Maths Challenge [AMC] ! Haha so many AMCs around. Oh and Ms Ko said the other school coming with us is Ngee Ann Sec(:
