HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARINA CHECHI AND ELLA!

Today I brought flour for Ella's birthday bash. In the morning, before Ella came into the hall, Lekha and I were busy writing stuff on her present.

I bought for her a silver chain with a blue star pendant. And I put it inside a very small box which looked like a basket. Quite cute. Then inside the box, I laid small pieces of blue and black crepe paper. I hope she likes it. =))

So later Shoba,Zainab,Lekha and I were fighting over who should say happy birthday first. I was doing finishing touches to the present when suddenly Shoba and Zainab got up and started running.

Ella came and I started running like mad. But Shoba and Zainab hugged Ella first. After I hugged her, I gave her my present. =3

And when I turned back, Lekha was still seated and she was STILL writing. Haha. So Ella told us that she got really scared when we 'attacked' her.Hoho.

After that was normal school stuff. OHYA! In PW, I got really lucky because at the last period, I couldn't open my Flash again.So I got really happy la. Coz I really sucked at it. And for the first period, I had no clue on how to even put the picture up in the stage box. I was just playing with my mouse, clicking here and there.

Now...After school...BEST PART EVER!! We went to the playground. Lekha was the distractor and she brought Ella to one side to talk about some stuff.

Shoba and I took out the flour packet and grab a handful each of flour. We went up to Ella and we called out her name. She turned and we slapped flour on her face all. She started screaming and we ran around everywhere. ROFL.

She ran to our 'base' and took flour. She also put flour on us. We were mad sia. I was running around in circles and was thinking, 'OMG..Why we putting on everyone??'.

Then I ran after Ella and put on her hair. The Malay boys in the playground were looking at us like one kind. Lol. After that, we still had flour. We first looked at ourselves in the mirror. DAMN WHITE sia! there was flour everywhere! My hair was pure white!

With the remaining flour, Ella and Shoba did kolam while Lekha and I wiped the flour off us. After that, we went to Mac to eat. When we were ordering, the lady asked us why we all white. Haha. We didn't answer back. We ate and laughed like mad. After that, I went home. When I reached home, I saw my tuition teacher. THERE WAS TUITION SEYY! So I just washed my hair first. He didn't want me to waste time.

After tuition, Shereen and I had to get ready.Coz it was also my sister's birthday.

We went to Jurong Point to eat. We ate at Swensens. Then we went to the 24 hours NTUC and came home very late. It was a very fun day sey. There are more birthdays coming up. CAN'T WAIT!!

Today after school I went home. I didn't have time to idle around because I had to go to Outram Park as fast as possible. I was supposed to take out my braces today.

So I slacked at home for a while. And I tried ALOT of clothes. I didn't feel good in any. So I wore my grey with black stripes top and black skinnies. I left my house at 3.35. I was supposed to leave at 3.15. Aiyoooh. I slack all the time.

So I ran out of my house and forgot to take my earpiece to listen to music on the train. Haiz..I took the train and had to stand all the way.Mad sial.Everyone so uncivilised. All were running to empty seats and turning blind eyes to the ah mas and ah kongs.

So I reached Outram at 4.15. I had to walk all the way to NDC (National Dental Center) and I reached there at around 4.30.

I went to take the queue number and blah blah blah. I went into the clinic and she let me choose what colour i wanted. So I chose purple. Eh! I not die hard fan of JWSS okay!
So she also said that she won't be taking out my braces YET. Because it hasn't straighten out yet. So i will take out either on 31st March or 5th May. She said my teeth was getting better. YIPPEE!

She put for me new braces colour and I went to pay for it. 90 cents. Lols. So after that I went back to take the MRT to go to Boon Lay. I walked around Jurong Point and remembered that my older sister wanted MacDonalds. So I called her to ask her what she wanted. She wanted cheeseburger so I went to MacDonalds.

Guess who I saw there? Haran and friends. Haran,Sujan,Ashiq and Venga were there. I bought the food and walked around somemore. Waited for someone's message. Couldn't wait anymore, so I went to Gek Poh for a while.

When I came out, I lost my way. I turned to my right. I turned to the right again and suddenly saw him.I was so shocked sia. Then I looked at the surroundings. It seriously wasn't my neighbourhood sey. Haha. Paisey to the max. So I turned around and walked to the bus-stop, scolding myself. I went back home and using the computer now.

Haiz.My Maths test marks sucks to the core. Emo-ing in progress.

Promotion Day today.Mardhiyah Ma'am and Cin Lee Ma'am looked really nice in their Red Cross uniforms. It looked nice on them,to be honest. It was like gold buttons and their berets looked really cool. They looked so....professional. And the best part is, it was like a shirt and a skirt. Much comfortable than a dress with a belt that was suffocating me.

Mardhiyah Ma'am was really sweet and she told me to fall-in with my seniors. Shoba also fall-in at the row behind mine. We all were in the hall and Travis was beside me. We were so scared because we didn't know how to march up the stage. But actually only Zahidah Ma'am was supposed to march up.

The UGs present there were Red Cross, NCC, NCDCC and Boys' Brigade. I didn't know where NPCC were. So one of the BB cadet was the emcee for the day and he called out all the representatives of each UG to come up and take the ranks for all of us to get promoted.

We had the rehearsal before the actual ceremony. So we had to stand still for a very long time.After that we keluar baris-ed and had 5 minutes water-break.

We fall-in again and this time, it was the actual ceremony. We had to stand still until Mr Gan came and sit down. Another BB cadet was our commander and we sediya-ed and the ICs for each UG saluted at him and we senang diri-ed back .

This is the part where Zahidah Ma'am was really cute. Red Cross had to go up the stage first. She went up,got the ranks and she bowed. She turned to her left and bang her leg. Then she had to march down again. But when she wanted to march, she stop for a while to get her arm and leg co-ordinated. It was so cute la!

After Mr Gan's speech, we keluar baris-ed and Red Cross fall-in at the carpark. We got promoted there. We had to get our ranks from Sing Onn Sir. Iffah Ma'am called out our names,while Quraishah Ma'am gave the ranks to Sing Onn Sir. We all got promoted to Lance Corporal.

And GUESS WHAT!? Mr Wong Chin Seng punished the Sec 1s for cutting squads.Walao!They are all new to Red Cross. Obviously they didn't know that they weren't supposed to do that. Tears came out from my eyes sia. Coz last month I did what they had to do.

It's going to be really painful. They won't be able to climb up and down stairs,they won't be able to squat or sit on the floor, and when they walk, it's going to be excruciatingly painful. I'm serious. They had to do pumping and squats. SQUATS!! Can you believe it?! He's really mean sia. They did a lot of squats sia.Haiz..

Sooner or later, their parents are going to call up the school. Coz that's what my mother wanted to do when I told her what happened last time. After that, we had to run to the Parade Square for Master Parade.

After Master Parade, Aishah Ma'am and Preethi Ma'am called out names of people who were going to be NCOs.Shoba,Ella,Travis,Adeline,Hidayu and a few others were chosen. Nisa and I were about to change back into our Mufti when Aishah Ma'am told us to stay back. So Nisa and I were talking about stuffs..

After their meeting was over, Nisa and I went there and she told us when was the Speech Day rehearsal. Turns out it will be on Monday.Haiz...

After that we changed back into our Mufti and we went to interchange to take the bus. And we went home.

At home I was really mood out. I called my mother to ask her if I could go to MacDonalds for a while. She said yes. So I walked slowly to and back from MacDonalds. I bought food for lil sister and me. I slept really early too.At 9.20 I was already asleep.I didn't wait up for my mum to come home.

That was all la.Congratulations to everyone who got into becoming a NCO.

P.S. I miss my best friend a lot. Seriously. But I really don't know how to approach her.... =(

GUESS WHAT?! We didn't have rehearsal today! I didn't know why they last minute change. Aiiiyooohh! So that means tomorrow got rehearsal and then the actual thing la. Troublesome maan. And tomorrow is full-uniform.But thank God only Shoba need to go and march. I don't know how to march up the stage all. All the best to Shoba tomorrow. =))

So tomorrow will be boring as usual. Mr Francis Wong's lesson sucks to the core maan! Can die.

Today we also did our literature act. Nishan's and Noel's group were damn nice. Our's was not that bad too. Our group (Nasan,Nazurah,Ella and me) got 7/10. So did Nishan's and Noel's groups.

Haha..okaye..I need to rest sia. Been sleeping late these days. =))

Today nothing happened much. Was quite boring. After school, Shoba,Ella,Lekha and I went to the Red Cross room for meeting. But last minute don't have.

We went down to the canteen and we saw most of the Sec 1 and Sec 2 Indian girls there. I looked at Pirinthah and she was like 'Eh..you never wear eyeliner ah? Haha..you look so different.'

I was like 'Oh no..' and I went to the toilet to put eyeliner. =3 And when I came out, I went to Pirinthah to ask her if my eyes look better.Lol. And she said ya.

After that I talked to Vidya for a while and I had to go home. I had tuition at around 3p.m. So I said bye to Vidya and went to the interchange to take bus.

Reached home. But tuition suddenly became at 4p.m. It was Science tuition for me today and Maths for Shereen. HAHA. Poor soul. I had to learn about digestion and he told me about all the functions of everything.

Guess what I learned today? I learned that I haven't been paying attention during Miss Wang's lesson. Hehe.

I was also watching Ghajini (Hindi version) again. And I cried again. I don't know when I will get sick and tired of that movie. I don't think I will.

Oh yeah. Speaking of Hindi, Lekha and I are talking to each other in Hindi now. We were goofing around saying 'Tumhara problem kya?' and ' Tumhara naam kya yaar?'

Lol. So now I need to print out the Literature thing. Tomorrow we need to act out the script. Can die sia. I never even practiced once. I think I will be blogging tomorrow. I'm not sure. I have Promotion Day rehearsal. Haiz....

Today I had my Maths test. It was okay if I had more time. I gotta improve on my time management sia.

I was like panicking over the remaining time and I think i confirm get lesser than 18/25. Because when I counted the questions that I didn't do, it was like...5 marks.

Haizz....so yeah.Today after Tamil lesson was P.E. But we went for the photo-taking thing first. I was so happy sia. I thought don't have P.E today.

But after taking photos, he told us to change back into P.E attire AGAIN and go to the Music Terrace. We played soccer. So that's a good thing. I grouped up with Eva, Kar Qi and Christel.

We had recess after that and the rest of the day was boring. I was so tired during history lesson. I didn't listen to what Miss Anne was talking about but I was reading about why Singapore separated from Malaysia. Quite complicated.

After History, Ella,Eva and I went to the Red Cross Room for meeting. They told us that Promotion Day is on Friday and there is rehearsal on Thursday.

Haiz...kk...I got to catch up with Maths. I still can't get the 3.5 part. And I still need to do that Literature project. *sobs*

I went to Jurong Point today. At around 12.45p.m. I had to collect the clothes from dry-cleaning, buy file and pens, Yami Yoghurt and McFlurry for my older sister. So I wore black top with black jeans (as usual) and I first went to popular.

I messaged Ella and Kuganesh about how the yellow English file looked like. But they didn't message me back. So I just bought 3 pens and went around looking for the laundry shop.

I was looking everywhere but can't find sia. So I called my mum. She say that it was at the new wing at the 1st floor. I was like "AAAARGGH!!" So i went to the laundry shop at the other side of Jurong Point and got back the clothes.

That's when Ella messaged me. So no choice la. I need to buy tomorrow morning. So I walk walk somemore then went to buy the Yammi Yoghurt. My sister another one. I message her,she never reply. How to know what flavour she want?

So I called her and wasted alot of my prepaid. I bought Peach yoghurt with Granola ↓

Granola is the nutty stuffs on the yoghurt.

And after that I went to MacDonalds to buy her
McFlurry and a small fries for me to eat on the bus. When I came back home, I
watched Ghajini, Hindi version. Nice sia.

But I think Surya acts better than
Aamir Khan. And after that, my grandmother, Rafeeq, Rabikah thata and Azurah
came to our house.

We talked and talked. Then I use the computer and I am blogging
now. I also fed Azurah groundnuts and my grandmother scolded me coz she will
itch. My God! So over-protective!

And Rabikah thata made a really delicious meal. Fried Maggie Mee
with eggs and sausages.

♥ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! ♥

Okay people. Brace yourselves coz this is
a really long post. I came back from camp today. It was really fun. It was the FDC preparation camp so it was for 2 Days and 1 night.We had COC at 3.45 first.We all dressed up into our Red Cross uniform and we looked really nice. Because the whole Red Cross platoons were in uniform(except sec 1s).

The Red Cross cadets had to fall in waaay before the FDC squad fell in. So we had time and chat all the way until they made us fall in.

So we fell in at the carpark and we practiced for the COC parade. And guess what?All of a sudden, Sing Onn Sir shouted, "Oi! The parade is starting soon! Get ready! "Aishah Ma'am was like, "Serious?!? What the fffff- aaaahh!!"

So we quickly went to the ramp and we Sediya-ed ourselves. Guess who we saw before we fall in at the ramp? Mr Gan and Mrs Jalil!!! I was like "Oh My GOD!"

I also saw the Sec 2 RCY cadets standing at the side. They too were in Red Cross uniform coz COC means Change Of Command.

Boys' Brigade also having the ceremony with us because Mr Lim Pin Sheng stepping down and a female teacher is taking his position. I forgot her name.

It isn't Miss Cindy Wong.So Mr Wong step down and Miss Pa- err..i mean Mrs Tan is taking over his place.They stepping down because they both are going out of the school soon.

So we started marching when they gave the command. We march and because the principal and vice-principal were there, I did the best that I could. We stood in the blazing Sun for God-knows-how-long and we finally finished the whole parade.

We took group photos with the
Boys' Brigade and Mr Wong was making fun of Preethi Ma'am's height. Poor Ma'am.

After that, Mr Wong told Red Cross and BB that they really appreciate our help and said that there was food in the cybercafe.

So we went there to eat and after that, Aishah Ma'am said that after we change back into out FDC shirt,our FDC camp BEGINS!Weee!!

So we went to the Red Cross room to take our camp bags and we all went to the AVA room.Because THAT'S WHERE WE WILL BE SLEEPING! WEEE!!

After that, she told us what things to bring down later for the activities. She entrusted me with the AVA room keys to lock it up when everyone leaves.

So we brought down kiwi polish,our slippers, cloth, mug, and our uniform items excluding the beret.

I had difficulties locking all the doors, but with Shoba's help,we managed to do it. =)) We went down and put our things on the canteen table.

We then went to the parade square and started doing foot-drill.It was damn nice man! It was really windy and it was so dark.It seriously felt so nice.

After marching, we played this game: We all had to sit in a line. One's front facing each others' backs. Anuja was in front of me and Shoba was behind me.

We had to put our legs on top of the front person's thighs. Then we had to 'caterpillar' and reach the finishing line.

After that,we started polishing our boots until very very shiny. So usually at night I get really emotional.

I tried really hard not to cry. After we polish, we washed our hands and we laid down in the parade square and did star-gazing.It was so fun la!

And that's when I got really emotional and I cried. I was staring at a very bright star and named it after someone. Then I broke down.

I turned to my side and saw Ella in the same position. She too was crying. We went to the toilet because we wanted to wash our faces.

We talked a little about why we cried and suddenly the lights went out. I was honestly scared.

Then went Ella walked around a little, the lights came back. We laughed and we went back to the canteen side.It turned out that everyone was assembled at the cybercafe. So Ella and I ran to them. We played another game.

This time, we had to blindfold ourselves with the triangular bandages and they made us stand in one line.

Our hands were on each other's shoulders and it turned out that Ayu was in front of me and Vince was behind me. Ayu was like, "Shamira! Please don't let go okay!" Trust me. I seriously didn't want to let go. Because it was around 11 p.m. in the night.

So we were walking all around. They made us separate from each other at times and I was praying to God that I didn't fall down anywhere. And they sprayed ice water at us which was a really creepy feeling.

We went up to the third level and Aishah Ma'am told everyone secretly to take off their blindfolds and return to the AVA room. She didn't tell Boon Wei.

We all went to the AVA room and there was a cake on the table. It was Boon Hui's 15th birthday and we wanted to surprise him.

So Kaung switched off all the lights in the room and Quraishah Ma'am lit up all the candles. Aishah Ma'am led Boon Hui into the room and the moment he took off his blindfold, we all sang the birthday song to him. Haha.

It was hilarious,can? He wished for something and took really long. Then someone started the cake fight and the Ma'ams and the Sec 3s were rubbing cream at each other's faces.

We took sweets and Aishah Ma'am said that we all need to eat one apple each. So we ate and Mr Wong talked to us about the competition and we were really worried. He let us go bathe.It was already around 11.45p.m. Ella and I took our bathing stuff and went to bathe.

After bathing, Aishah Ma'am let us take our handphones so that we could listen to music. I was messaging my mother a Happy Valentine's Day. Ella and I listened to songs and we slept.

Wow. I didn't sleep very peacefully. It was shivering cold and when I looked around, Ili Ma'am and Aishah Ma'am came into the room.

Shoba and Ayu went to the toilet. I saw Aishah Ma'am sleeping at Shoba's place and Ili slept at where my foot was. After that, I knocked out again.

We woke up at 5.15 in the morning and Ella and I went to bathe. Again. Shoba was having a fever. My stomach was churning like a washing machine.

After we bathed, we brought down all of our stuff and put it on the canteen table. Aishah Ma'am briefed us on what to do after we had our breakfast.

We changed into our boots and uniform and went to the parade square with our bags. We fell in and practiced a while more and soon, we had to leave for the competition.

I'm not going to tell what happened in the competition. Come and ask us personally. It will be thrilling to hear it instead of reading it. =))

P.S. Sorry for the suspense!!

Today nothing happened except that I had tuition in the morning and we are going out for dinner at Jurong Point.

My tuition teacher introduced a stupid card game to us when we were doing our Maths work.

It's his university project and he and his group had to create a game that is uhh..fun. So he used us as his try-outs.Shereen and me each had the same number of cards.

It's a little like snap. So first,we both open up one card each. If the numbers add up to 7, we put our hands down and say "SEVEN!".

If the animals add up to 7, we must make the animal sound. And if both the numbers and the animals add up to 7, we were supposed to shout "SEVEN HEAVEN".

Aiiiyooh. Just imagine. He told us that if a chicken comes up,we die die must say 'Pock pock KAY!'.

Me and my sister cracked up.Damn embarrassing la!! So we played while he observed. And I was the unlucky one who had to make the chicken sound.

My sister stopped coz she didn't want to make the damn sound. So I used my chance.He said that whoever lost the game, had to do 10 questions as punishment.

Haha. I won in the end. But he forgot to give Shereen the 10 questions. Damn him.

It was like so fun at the same time. He's always joking. That's why I love Maths. Lol. After tuition,which was from 10a.m to 12p.m, we all slacked while I studied again for my Maths test.

Chapter 2 test next Wednesday. I hope I can get a distinction. That's my main goal now. And my right arm is hurting so much. Yesterday I swinged my hand so much. Aiiiyooh.

Will be blogging tomorrow. =DD

P.S. Next week is Competition!! *sweats profusely*

Today in red cross, we did paras so many times. We also rehearsed for COC in the Hall just in case it rains on the actual day.

Mr Wong praised us saying that our Berhenti was beautiful. It was beautiful! We all banged at the same time.

After practise was over, we went out of the Hall and guess what? IT WAS RAINING!! It was raining so much. And Shoba realised that our water bottles were in the rain.

We ran out into the rain and took the whole squad's waterbottles.

When we went out of school,we played and got wet in the rain. Then we went playground for a while. We played for a while,just Ella,Shoba,Vidya and me.

When we were going out of the playground, we saw Sagu and Priyanka. We talked to them and went to interchange.Shoba and I took 243,Ella and Vidya took 242. Haha. And so,we went home.

Waarrghh! Today I had my science test. I totally flipped maan. Seriously. And I got so mood out after that. Maybe because those 2E4 people were outside our classroom and MAKING A LOT OF NOISE. So NOISY!!!! I could barely take it.

My hands were shaking and I couldn't hold my pen properly. We only had 4 minutes left. School finishes at 1.55pm and our test finished at like 2.00p.m.

I almost cried during the test laa! Can you believe it? I studied so hard for it and I totally blew it.

I flipped laaaaa.ARGGGHH!!! If it weren't for the 2E4 people waiting outside, I could have concentrated better. And the worst thing is, I'm sitting near the God-dammed windows. And I could see everyone clearly.

Just imagine when you are doing your test paper, and the teacher keeps on staring at you. Won't you feel uncomfortable? I seriously did and I really pity Ella.

She was right beside the window and they were all screaming. COME ON!! It wasn't the end of the world right? They wanna get so excited for nothing. Idiots. Pure idiots.

I got so pissed. I was completely emo when I went down to the canteen. I was starving and went to the Western food stall to buy a cookie.

Just one damned cookie and I had to wait for so long. The queue was unbelievable. I got more angrier and just sat down in front of the Music Terrace with the others.

And only over there did I attain 'enlightenment'. I finally figured out the answers to the test. I was thinking deeply and then it seriously hit me. I can't believe I was so stupid. I still can't get over the fact that my brain is useless when I really need it.

GAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!
