OK for all those who have been/were cursing me I gave my ticket to Calvin Chiew Jing Ye. The $168, 3rd row tickets!!!! Why didn't I give them to you? Are you my good friend? Did you help me for my PW video? Heeee.
I met Wankai at around 2 plus, and she roamed around Bugis with me for about 2 hours plus before finally deserting me for her primary school friends. But I was very appreciative, cos it's quite tiring for her to rush from Boon Lay to meet me too!
Then I met up with Calvin at 6, and we spent some time in Kino. We tried looking for our new lit texts (William Blake, apparently), but to no avail, and we were talking about some lame books and all that. Then we met Huiyan, and the three of us left for Mos Burger for dinner, where Huiyan asked the two of us about who Kimberly Clark is (Guess who).
Then finally we made our way to the Indoor Stadium. I forgot to mention, my CT Ms. Li was there too! The ENTIRE day I had this STRONG feeling that she would meet me, and you know what, we really met!!! At bugis!!! So weird! But my sixth sense told me she'd see Calvin and I together and imagine things, but thank God no, she saw me alone. So ya apparently she's this 'ultimate fan' of his, which is cool, cos he's you know, amazing.
I never really liked David Tao, cos he can be quite an asshole when he's talking about other singers, especially those who can't really sing. While it's true most of the time, what he says, it's just annoying, you know. But when he appeared with his first song I just totally melted and forgot his asshole-ness. He has this wonderful, powerful voice that is SO amazing!!! He's a really blessed man, I must say! Calvin and I stood up and rocked to his music so many times (too bad to the people sitting next and behind us) I had so much fun!!!!
I'm not gonna write the full report here cos it's gonna be in Shinmin tomorrow. Please buy a copy!!!!But I did have fun with Huiyan and Cal!

Ice Skating!
OoO! We went for a 'council' outing today though the turnout was horribly low-only like 9 of us turned up! How terrible! But I think it's expected cos many of us are overseas and on attachment and some were lazy and whatever haha. But it was fun!
We went to JE shopping centre, a place I normally avoid because I don't particularly subscribe to the crowd there, and went to the ice skating rink. I was quite apprehensive cos I don't know how to skate AT ALL and have no past experience in doing so. But THANK GOD for Lisa dear sweet Lisa who held on to me and taught me step by step. By the end of the 2-3 hours I was able to skate on my own! What a miracle hahaha. There were other people who taught me like Pauline who went to damn fast and told me to let go when I was falling so that he wouldn't fall along with me that moron but he also skated backwards and taught me how to skate, and Michelle Chew who was really sweet, Calvin who kept his grip on my hand so that I didn't fall when I went 1-2 rounds with him (but I think he gave up after that)! Besides Lisa Pauline MC and Cal, XiaoXiao, gum, yeowch, xun were there too!
And oh course since he reads my blog I must mention this THANK YOU CHOONG XUN YU FOR RESCUING ME TWICE. Ya and you know how he rescued me? He pushed me forwards and when I almost fell he'd pull me back. Yes twice. And you know what, my dad used to do that too! But anyway that was a horrible thing to do, but yes he insists that he 'rescued' me, but whatever. And of course midway Pauline and Xun were pushing me to and fro between them, catching me and throwing me forwards again and I couldn't stop. I think they only stopped doing that when xun couldn't take it anymore cos I totally just fell on him which sucked. That was the sucky part of the outing, cos I was being bullied (you two will get it from me) but well the rest of it was fun.
Then later was a darn fun part calvin had piano lessons and the rest all had stuff on so yeowch xiaoxiao pauline xun and I went to IMM for dinner. Ya though I was surrounded by guys it didn't feel so cos thank God Pauline was there hahahaha and he was really great company. Not very male and all you know. But the whole trip was so funny cos first Yeowch stood in the tent labelled GIANT for the trolleys which is like SO FUNNY and I likened it to the Night Safari where animals are kept in like open enclosures (contradictory, but yea) so it's like Tourists, please look right, you'll see the GIANT HAHAHAHAHHA. And while Pauline and I were laughing the entire night through dinner xun xiaoxiao and yeowch just looked puzzled most of the time which was even more hilarious cos some of what we were laughing at weren't even inside jokes and they didn't get it. Both of us left the foodcourt teary eyed and all of us were suffering from cramps after our meal. Pauline is just full of shit like how he offered a suggestion of how we could go home, to take the 'free shuttle bus to clementi' when NONE OF US LIVE REMOTELY NEAR THERE. And there you go, that's what you get with Pauline.
So then I sent xun to the busstop where we spoke a bit while Pauline went shopping and to take his 'free shuttle bus to clementi' but none of us could take then that was about it hahahahhaa.A great day!

A LOT OF STUFF TO SAY!
All right it's been quite some time since I last wrote an entry, and A LOT of stuff has happened! Well namely my internship has lasted one week since I began, and our concert which went marvellously well!
After weeks of struggling and wondering if I got my internship, YES I finally got it! For those who don't know I'm working at SPH now, for a period of 5 weeks, and I was posted to ShinMin, the Entertainment section. And I must say I'm having lots of fun there! The people there are great! The girl looking after me is Joyce, she's also an intern, but she's been there for a year and she knows how everything goes. She's sort of blur and cute, but she's really really nice and sweet. And we have Xue Mei- jie the supervisor who's really patient and nice and understanding. And we have Yun Hong, one of the senior reporters, who helped me and taught me and was really nice too. And one more Gui Er who has been on leave and I haven't spoken to her. They all call me Xiaomei hahaha!
I've been out to interview some people, including local stars like Kym Ng and Jacelyn Tay and QiYuWu and this old singer (can't quite remember her name), attended press conferences and saw like Nai-ge and all the Project Superhost people. I guess the best thing about being an Entertainment reporter is that your interviewees will always be nice and polite, whether they are sincere or not, because it's part of their job, and whatever we write will influence them in one way or another. So people like Kym Ng and all were really really polite and nice, and I'd say most of them were sincere in their replies.
Ok now about the concert. I think all those who attended our 05A12 If There Ain't Got Love concert would realise it was a smashing success on the whole, since there were no major screw-ups! We were SO worried during the rehearsals cos none of us really showed any real standard, but guess what, we did well. I think my item was quite bad but never mind, I had fun with Huiyan my darling hahaha!! lesbian friend yea!!! And my friends haha the MG batch and the council batch gosh you guys were the GREATEST thank you SO MUCH for every one of your screams and flowers!!!! I'm so grateful for whatever support you showed, and I'm truly truly touched! If we had the chance I'm sure we'll be willing to hold the concert again cos I believe we all had SO MUCH fun! And for once I think my costumes were all right, as in I didn't look very fat or at least I didn't look enormous! Good thing. But darn should have chosen an easier song hahahaha cos my solo was quite horrendous. But well done A12 it was GREAT to have done the concert with all of you, and as a program i/c!

Tribute to B3
It's been a year since I left B3, and it's really true how you can never ever really appreciate what you have until you lose it. I was looking back at all our photos, and it's no wonder how I keep talking and thinking about you guys that it's driving my friends and me insane!
I don't think I can ever experience being so comfortable with any group of people like this anymore. We were all so retarded, absolutely, absolutely terribly retarded, even Wanjin whose goal was to be a farmer in Mongolia and I'm not
sure whether she was kidding and Sam who has and had a whole farm of chinchillas and that was probably why we mixed so well. I remember the days we switched roles during one of our free periods, and I was the pai kia while Diane, Juang Penguin and Elaine were the nerds and good students, oh gosh that was the best free period ever, in penguin's words. The days when we took part in the Racial Harmony day thing and sang the HARMONY song with the huge green caterpillar and won first prize!! That was priceless I remember everything that happened. And our SAVE THE WATER dance!!! And our numerous Class Parties and outings!! B3 was the best, there was no doubt about it.
And it's doubly precious how we can love each other and be so close when I hear so many stories of how other people could not fit into their classes when they were in secondary school. It's just great that we were all so retarded and lame together.
Although there definitely were cliques, the Juang Clique, my F5, the Megan clique and whatever, we were totally interlinked, and when the class came together, we were ONE. Which is priceless, I feel. With experience I realise this doesn't come easily. It felt effortless to us, like it was natural, but it isn't. It was precious.
Well even though we have split to different JCs and polys and overseas after the dreaded O Levels, it's still touching that we all still make an effort to keep in contact, to remain great friends if not best friends throughout the rest of our years. I was especially touched when Thia and Dell agreed immediately to come watch my class concert, though they know only me there. It's really no wonder I love you all so much.
It's been one year, and I still miss each and every one of you, even Megan whom we only saw a few times a month HAHAHA.
Love you all, miss you all. Class party underway.

Sex Education
Had sex education on wednesday. For the nth time.
This time it was all about not having pre-marital sex, about keeping your virginity for your future spouse and all that jazz. And it was the usual scare, STDs, unwanted pregnancies and all that. It was actually quite an interesting (though not quite enlightening cos this is the thousandth time everyone has heard these things) cos the presenters wer fluent and engaging.
But there were some parts I couldn't agree with. The whole Anita Mui thing was totally NOT true I mean you can't just accuse someone of having HPVs and dying of cervical cancer JUST because she's had many boyfriends and 99.1% of women who get cervical cancer get it cos of HPV(some STD). For goodness' sake Mui-gu's sister and grandmother died of cervical cancer it was HEREDITARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop ruining people's reputations like that I hope they haven't told the whole world or whatever!!!
And there was the part about respect. FOR GOODNESS' sake being obedient to your parents and teachers does not mean you are being respectful!!! And OMG not talking back to teachers and parents also DOES NOT MAKE YOU respectful it just makes you stupid!!! Stop listening to them wholesale you HAVE to make your own decisions! What kind of values are you promoting!!!!
Some thing has just cropped up continue with this another time.
