Ok, 3 more days to go. Today, marking day. NO SCHOOL!!! Wondering how everyone spent their days? I'll tell you about L's. At least the parts she allows me to tell. She woke up before 8 (not 7.59), enthusiatically read mail from Lena and Anne. If you don't know, Lena is her host. Daughter of Mayor of Rosenthal, Anne is her elder sister, she mailed to say hi, isn't that sweet of her? Well, did her mail, read some things, packed some (haven't finished YET), then excitedly dressed for a movie with B. She reached home about 5. Had to learn how to cook curry so that she can cook for the Wassmuths(the host family). I know this is really brief, but I was told to make it as vague as possible.

To be updated on L's time in Germany, click on one of the links. I won't tell you which. If you are that dumb, you don't deserve to read stuff written by L herself. You probably won't comprehend anyway.

@2:25 pm
Exams are almost over. Thanks to her laziness last night, L could do the Chinese paper. But thats an over statement. She just didn't know a few questions, she should still be able to pass. Today, she can spend a whole day slacking and relaxing again and study for music tomorrow morning. Awwww, poor H, she has to study for her geog. paper. And O too. And L's gloating. wee hee.
thats all for now

I've really no time to go into detail, so heres a litte treat to make up. A little something from L's journal :"bored. perhaps add a very in front. fine, i should be studying. the dreaded higher chinese mid year exam is tomorrow and i've only like studied 2 chapters out of 13! Study meaning learnt how to write the words minus the sentencing or paring with other words and as for the bloody idioms i sorta know them. i should, having looked through them at least 4 times in the past 2 years. really don't feel like studying, must have studied too much. shows that normal people can't study hard for too long (more than 7 days) at a go. been lazing around the whole day and studying on and off. at least it shows that i'm normal. ok, i know that i'm crapping real bad, but you do have to cut me some slack, it called exams craziness. you study so much and then one day you don't feel like studying any more. oh well, life's like that. and you've got to accept the people in it (like exam strung up me) i guess i'll stop crapping now and try studying. thanks for putting up with me.

HEY!!! Its been a long long time. Since Sunday. And if you're wondering, L's been slogging her life out along with some hundred others. Exams started on Thursday. Luckily, L started revision on Monday and managed to finished looking through what she had to look through before all exams. For next week's she has this weekend to study. Also, her mind is currently filled with Germany...Oh yes, if you want postcards, send her your address. If you don't know her e-mail, it's equivalent to you don't deserve a postcard. But L's being nice, you can also post your address on the tagboard if you dare.
All the best from L to all those out there in the same plight as her and sucks to those who have finished their exams.

Did I mention that L got 77 for her german exam? But ***damn bloody damn it it had to be pulled down by 7 freaking marks because of her previous tests. #$*(#@*(_^&#$^#$*)#. Oh well, at least she knew her half a days work paid off.
nothing much to tell you for the rest of the days.

@10:24 am
Woah, its been 5 whole long days. I'm sooo sorry, but I'm going to have to make this short. someones watching over my shoulder. L's gonna kill me for not updating you guys.
Saturday: Exam: English, L started letter writing, satisfied with her work, went on to compo. Chose arguementative. Wrote her points, very very very messy. Most sentence structures also incorrect. Started rewriting, times up. Handed in orginal. Nursing thoughts of failing compo.
Chinese: Did formal writing, spent half an hour. Went on to compo. News review. Spent the next 1 and a half hours lazily writing, finished on the dot. Very satisfied. Her longest compo ever. 800+++ words.
Went home, no one at home, computer, and study. Yea, can't neglect it now, exams have started. FM came home, pretended that she didn't go for briefing claiming tt L gave her wrong directions, heck, she just went there late and couldn't find the place. As L was going for piano, she dumped the booklet of notes out. L grabbed it and read it on the way. Damn her.
At piano, MM had pms. Lazy don't care i'm sick of this air about her. Gave a few forced smiles, continuosly fanned herself with a file. Somehow, she looked lusty. haha, thats what L thought anyway.
Came home, and started studying again.
At night went for SCD.
Today, she started studying once she got up. yupyupyup, she has alot to catch up on. She'll be studying for the rest of today at grandma's house.

Monday, May 10, 2004 @7:39 pm
Yoz people, its Monday and the sky is blue. But surprisingly, people under the sky aren't really blue today. L got off with a blue start, what with her freaking d. not wanting to wake up and blaming her when he gets woken up in less than pleasurable ways. Don't expect L to be nice to you when she's impatient unless you are some really weak soul. She naturally got to school on time and finished all her homework and studying. Namely chinese journal, chinese dictation which she retook for higher marks. Yepyepyep, she's about to do anything to get to take her 10 subjects next year. Yea, its nice to have YMM as your teacher too.
They had some free time (in fact one period) when ML was having one of her do some unimportant things and you can do your own stuff days. Of course, people in L's class hardworking and you couldn't find one slacking soul in the class then. All were either studying for the SS test darling MG decided to give then or improving the English.
During assembly, as expected, the moon talked about wonderful Lake Odyssey, only to hear him talk, you'd think it was some crap the school got up to again. He used his beloved ppt to instill some sense of creativeness and school loving mood. Thankfully, he finally, after so many years, realised that it was boring for students, listening to him all the time, and decided to kill time used to wait for the darling sec. 4s by dragging people up to 'give their views' on the production. There were the directors, school alumni, (presumebly from the ever present alumni choir),cast, and of course audience. He calls the only names he knows, and thats still one thing he has to realised. If he wants more respect, he'll have to start learning more people's names.
Finally, the sec 4s arrive, and to do what? To watch a ppt of Lake Odyssey. How crappy. Fine, L supposes its his way of stimulating 'zhong zheng jing shen', the togetherness thingie. What can you expect a moon to think up?
After the wonderful powerpoint, L trooped off to the LT where MG was already waiting. What bliss, to step into an air-conditioned room after being outdoors where the sun had decided that it had regenerated enough to come back full force.
L was one of those who finished the paper early (2 minutes left), so off she went, to grab her bag, pee, and to the m.rm.. There, she dumped her bag, and dragged O off to the canteen with her for their long awaited lunch. Apparently, T(m) had been complaining about the alumni guy whom moon dragged up to kill time, about how rude he was, and not the nice gentlemen he appeared.
Back at the m.rm., heat started increasing after person after person informed T(m) that the ridiculous word-setting he had set them was not done. (of course L's group finished theirs) After the usual nudging of shoulders between L and O, they returned to their own business.
Finally, comes the presentation. KY and KH were first. Of course, they had a free comedy. L really had to give it to them. T(m) also provided comedy. Not once, but many times through all the presentations as well as platforms. My my my, who would have thought that holding in laughter who produce such antagonized expressions! T(m) had a nice time criticising people's word-setting. Historians would, in the future, add another category to the wide range of music, the CCHMS pioneer music class style. With that, no one would ever break the rules of the long developed music ever again. "You must know the rules very well in order to break them" guess who said that? no prizes for guessing, just the satisfaction of being able to be smug that you guessed it right while being looked down upon if you even get such a thing wrong. Quite true, but heres something from L, "One doesn't qualify in the rule-breaking category when one doesn't know the rules at all."
Oh well, but the sad thing is that they all know the rules, and not at all that well, so the can't possibly break them.
During platform, A played grade 7 A1, quite passibly, until she finished and pasted that face that invited a slap onto her face.
Given she hesitated, was very nervous, played a number of wrong notes, had a fluctuating tempo, all in all didn't play very well, she still passed in L's score sheet. That was until she went back to her seat with water ALMOST pouring out of her eyes. So she failed. But L just told me she decided that she was feeling nice now, so she now feels sorry for her. Imagine freaky out so much that you play like that. Only someone inhuman would come back with safe eyes.
Then, came a demostration on, "How to kill a chicken" by KY. Wow, L could find plenty of faults simply in his style of playing. Given she's not the expert, but still...But you had to pass him, because he still played 60% of his capabilities, and thats a pass, isn't it? And it'd be the day when L's even able to do what he did, so ...
After m. L and O left a moody H to walk out with W and X while they walked by the lake. As characters of gossipgerl, they naturally had an engaging gossip on the way out, where l then hopped onto her bus which came just as she stepped onto the platform. How polite and respectful.
And now, L is going to start showing some people that she CAN take 10 subjects next year.

So, the wonderful Friday chronicles.
Both L and dad woke up late. Ha, but of course L still made it on time to school. No FRC "due to threatening skies". Duh. So half the class was having a nice time talking and chatting (np prizes for guessing where the other half are) until freaking MS came in and and dumped them some dumb artlcles to read. Thank goodness YMM saved the day.
She came in, ordered them in groups and set them to role-playing. There would be a competition between CR, IT, GR, MD. With their best team of the 2 noisiest and 2 other good actors, L's class naturally bagged the most creative skit award.
After school, L went out with B.
Then, back home, she primped for the nights performance. Then out of the door with the grans in tow. She brought them to Marina Sq. only to find out that the foodcourts were closed. Then, they had to troop to suntec. They reached Esplanade punctually. (infer from "on time is not punctual)(in case you are that dumb, they were early) After meeting up with the really aunty aunties, they made their way in. Of course, L greeted many people on the way. Inside, both in front and behind her were people she knew. How nice. It was pretty fun talking to people, discussing about the people you know you'd be seeing. One thing about the system L thinks should be changed is the placing of the orchestra. They should be seen! Instead of a pit right below, it'd be cool if they had a loft right above. Yea, when L builds her own theatre, she'd have the orchestra 'pit' built as a loft right above. After listening to all the crap about how crappy the performance was, L totally expected to be bored. But it was waaaaay FANTASTIC! The humour was good warm humour. As said, the last scene wa the best. They should have gotten the lions to dance as well though. L really reallly really really regrets not giving herself a chance to be part of it. But at least she was part of the tight audience that belted out the school song! (in case you are wondering what tight means, i can't find any other word) Excuse the sentimentality, but you could practically feel the love students and alumni had for the school while the school song was sung. The oooh and aahhh came when the curtain was lifted to reveal the ___ strong choir singing instead of the recording most people would have thought. In the second story, the dance was very cool. Many danced coolly too. L only saw a handful who really danced with passion. But if you weren't looking out for those things, it was a beautiful dance. So much for doing things with passion. But I suppose when you have thousands of eyes on you, you tend to do things technically. God forbid this happens to L during her piano exam.
While credits were given, all the T's went up. T(m), T(f),and Tls. Seems like the school favours Ts. There are only Ts in the head of the commitee. Haha, L thought T(m) looked rather dumb up there. He was like a zombie. Ah, but I guess you must cut him some slack. And all the rest too. (do you see why T(f) and Tls can go up there and smile but not T(m)? actually L doesn't, tell her if you do)
Did I mention that the Minister of Environment was there too? yepyepyep, thats how large Yue makes it to be. But hey, guess what? L felt good, this is her school's performance the minister is watching. Wouldn't you too?
The aunties commented that it was very well done too! At the end, L rushed out to get her copy of the programme (if you haven't gotten yours, go get it)
and of course greeting many people on the way too.
And I repeat once again, what a fabulous performance.
Happy Birthday CCHMS

Lake Odyssey was waayyy COOL
L so totally wants to go again tomorrow. She so totally really regrets not going for the audition. With her unmistakable talent, she'd definately have acted. OMG!!! She really soooo regrets it. She could also have gone for backstage, but trust her to think lame of it and decide that piano was more important.

10 hours to Lake Odessey. If you still stubbornly haven't got your tickets, GO GET IT!
Wednesday: L spent the day slacking and studying at the same time. Thinking that no one can do that? You're not thinking of L. Heres a bit of advice from her: divide your time properly and you'll be able to slack and work all in one. As usual, Chinese was the most fun. Another interesting event was PCCG too. They went to the concourse for games. MT can be rather overbearing at times, but 'its for they're own good'. Yeah, if she doesn't exert her authority, the class would be really split. It'd take all of L's efforts to pull them together. So thank goodness for MT and her ideas. During FRC, T(f) went up to talk about esplanade. A babble of voices broke out once the school saw her face. You can imagine why. After that, L and H went to look for MP for PERMISSION to leave early for their german exam. Idiotic, they had to tell him that they needed travelling time, lunch time and studying grace before he dined to let them off at 1pm and not a minute earlier. Duh. At least they had fun on the bus. Saw long lost people then. Wonderful things exams are. At night, L finished reading another wonderful book and typed out the wonderful compo. she wrote that ML wants to give the class. yepyepyep....
Thurday: L is going to have to look at YMM for a retest on Monday. But don't get the wrong idea, she volunteered for it. See how hardworking she is. Today, is anothe carefree day. Yesterday was rehearsal, and people involved (including teachers) could be awhore (MT was). GH and F came at the usual time. Good role models. YC came at 4th period, even better role model. BK came after recess, D came at the last period, and J came after the bell rang for dismissal. Woa, what time do you think L would have gone? L got really pissed off taking to her tante on the phone after school. She seems to think that L is a naive little girl who wastes her time, doesn't study and is an amatuer at everything. *rolls eyes* that shows how much she knows L. Then, back home, a round of calls had to be made to remind her other darling tantes of tomorrow's wonderful Lake Odessey.
Tonight, she's still getting pissed off by her FM!!! who seems to have hormones raging like _____. *#*@#$(@##$(#, people around L really don't know how to interact with teenagers. Maybe it only happens to people taking 10 subjects. Being online means play. Wow, what a wonderful deduction. How L would like to give these people a long lecture on a good many subjects.
But lets get off these morbid subjects. For those who are curious, L is fishing tomorrow.

Hiya! Its been another two days. I hope everyone's been nice and busy. I'm sure with all your full schedules, you only just have enough time in your 24 hours to fit everything in. Being so wanted all the time, it must be very nice to suddenly have a whole afternoon to yourself. As what happened yesterday to 23 people; L inclusive.
What happened? Yesterday was according to Monday's timetable, T(m) was very tired and decided that it was time for a break. Nice excuse huh, "its Friday's timetable. No, there won't be any lesson on Friday, its the esplanade performance."
For those of you who are reading this and are still ignorant about the performance at the esplanade this Friday and Saturday called Lake Odessey, you ought to be made to buy all the rest of the tickets. As it is, L is being nice and only wants those people to go to www.sistic.com, search for Lake Odessey and buy 1 of the most expensive tickets available.
So, T(m) wants a break, ha, the wonderful thing about being head of things, (as of course, he has always emphasized) you get to call the figures. One day, you'll see L there.
So, she spent a wonderful afternoon surfing the web, perfecting her pieces, and all in all, being the perfect girl she is. Look out for her perfect sweet16 party which she also started planning Monday afternoon. See what a girl is able to do with 3 extra hours?
Then today, L sat for a physics test, which she managed perfectly, got back a biology test, which she scored perfectly well too, and found out that she had a perfect class in E maths. Infer.
This afternoon was filled with extra activities. After being dismissed, meticulous L zoomed to the locker, back and down to levels to the com.lab. going through the door the same time as H. There, they spent a leisurely hour talking about darling intellectual Elyse while the Rudy guy tried to work on some rusty school computers. Then, they had to zoom off for Deutsch. Were they late? Theres no telling, doesn't matter anyway. FA gave out last minute notes. Wonderful, L has a whole night to squeeze everything in. With her intellectual abilities, she'll definately be able to do it. On the way, L discovered from H some ugly things that had been happening right behind her nose. Oh well, its behind her nose, so she couldn't smell it totally. That thing got her boiled up. Wouldn't she like to give A and N a good counselling session!
But that can wait till after tomorrow's german exam. Talking about that, L got the class's chinese test postponed because of that. So wish her goodluck.

Hey! Miss me? You must have, its been a long time since Thursday. Well, it'll get boring if I update you everyday. So I keep you waiting and waiting for the next note...(watch music of the hearts and you'll know what I'm talking about)
So Friday: T(m) agreed to open the m.rm. But L had to discover that H and O were both busy! Oh well, she has to do it by herself then, and make the best of it. She had to use X's phone to sms T(m) and X sniggered beside her for the first half of her typing, after finding out that she was smsing T(m) and seeing that she had trouble with her phone, offered to help her type. What a goon, who did she think she was sending it to? L's just out of practice with the use of dictionary and with the ridiculus arrangement of her keypad. As usual, the most entertaining lesson was YMM's, every lesson, she'll give people something to laugh about. (which is usually herself) This time, it was about IQ.
L had a nice long relaxing day on Saturday. Labour day, no rehearsal, no piano, no san cheen do, no nothing. Simply waking up whatever time she wants, watch some TV, get dragged out to lunch at Eunos with her parents, acting cool, getting ordered to buy food back for her mother (apparently for dinner), going back home, lazing around rereading harry potter, fantasizing and thinking. L never had so much time to herself before. Oh, now you must be thinking: Didn't she spend any time studying? Well, she had the intention to, but a girl must make the most of such an opportunity. Its only so rare a chance that she gets a whole day to herself. The best part was, she had the whole house to herself at night! Bliss!
Sunday: A usual morning, waking up, reading in bed, down for a little TV and a bite of food, getting ordered to practice, bathing, and off to Grandma's house. There, she has to submit to being critisised, teased, irritated, commented at, laughed at without being able to retort. If she did, she'd just get a earful of peptalk. Those people just have to win, they don't see modern sense!
Tonight, yea, L will study. She has YMM's homework anyway. Thats the good girl she is.
