As usual, thursdays were spent with Rachel, Jonnie, Junnie, Cuthbert, Kenneth, Gabriel, Smoker Chang...



Went to update my passport picture. Then rushed to Macs to meet them.



Basketball till like dunno what time again during which I did one chinese essay. Woots.



I feel accomplished. Heh.



The same people the guys played against last week came to play with us again. And again, the guys looked dm pro. Smoker Chang caught the rebounds and almost burst the basketballs again. HAHA.



And once, the basketball whacked me in the head. I didn't even see the ball coming cos I was bent over doing chinese. =(



Friday.



Soccer match. Against MJ.



0-0 in both the match and extra time. Then we lost in the penalty rounds. Dm sad.



D. Gussie had a yellow card the previous match so he couldn't play. I think if he played, our school sure win. OWNAGE.



The whole soccer team cried like mad after that. They trained dm hard for it. And I'm sure they expected a lot. Everyone was dm sad. The whole match was so close.



A while after the match, all the MJ people left CCAB. But all the SA spectators crowded around the soccer team, singing and cheering into the night. Very touching. VERY touching.



Lots of the SA supportors were also crying. Haha.



Then suddenly, one of the soccer guys shouted dm loud," Why are you all crying? Stop crying! We have to be strong..."



Then, I started to cry. Haha.



I'm proud of the team though. They made it so far. And apparently this has never happened before.



Poor D Gussie. I hope he has more than enough fighting spirit left to play VJ for the 3rd placing.



Saturday. Dance in the morning before leading worship in church afterward. Wasn't able to worhip properly. But it's a sacrifice I gotta make I guess. I thought I screwed up and made a fool of myself. I was pretty discouraged after leading yesterday. But then I remember one verse in the Bible that said that Gd would rather a man be a fool for Him.

I would rather be a fool for Christ and have childlike faith than keep doubting His faithfulness and love for us.

This whole week has been tiring.

PIs due, GPPs due.. Had to type my group's. Took me one whole night. But I did it. Woots.

So I took class time for nap time the next day. Heh.

Hey. Nap time is important ok. =)

Was dm stressed in chinese class on Monday. Laoshi said to do the last few pages in our workbooks as a test.

Everyone around me did it in like half an hour or so. I spent all 3 periods doing the 1st of 8 pages. I was like about to cry when I told laoshi I gave up on it, and she said then that she would allow us to bring it home. ARGH.

Spent another night finishing the assignment. Laoshi said she was proud of me, the next day. =)
I wasn't. I slept in all my lessons after that.

And I was rather pissed at my myself. I spent hours doing 8 pages and then spent 5 minutes marking. Duuude.

Dance on wednesday. Cheer on wednesday. Trip briefing on wednesday. Went for all. How, you wonder.

Trip briefing first, then dance. Danced for a while, totally lost since everyone knew the dance steps to miss wee's practice routine. Then when it ended, I went for cheer. Haha.

Thursday.

The only thing I remember is playing captain's ball for PE and going back to SR! =))

Studied at SR for quite a while, then went to Macs. Jinx and I sang the same song at the same time. And then we stared at each other for a while before going back to eating. Dm funny. Haha.

The guys then wanted to play bball. So then we walked across the street to the CC.

Jonnie.
Smoker Chang.
Saint Gabriel.
Kenneth.

PROS. Made the Ah Bengs playing there look like primary school kids.

Junnie didnt play. He sat and watched. With Rachel and me.

Junnie kept laughing at me. He said I made funny noises when watching people playing basketball. Haha.

Eh. Not funny noises can. Just that when someone scores nicely or ball possession is transfered, then I go," Ohh" or "Ahhh" or "Waah" or "Woots" or "Aiy" or "Aiyo" or "Ooooo" or "Duuuudde".

Haha. Junnie laughed until he was rolling on the floor.

And Rachel kept shushing me. Haha.

After watching the guys play and play and play and play..

I actually took out A and C and read quite a bit.

Yayness. Work done! Woots! =))

But I had to stop when part of it suggest I refer to the Bible. Haha.
Awesome. I'm glad. =) This is work I don't mind doing. =))

Oh yeah. Got a marriage proposal. HAHA.

Left the CC at about 9 plus. Haha. Dm funny. And my "ring" was the plastic cup cover of a big gulp.

Smoker Chang and Jonnie were jealous when I showed them the saints vinyl stickers. Their expressions were dm hilarious! HAHA. Seriously. Man. Should have recorded them down.

Accidentally tore the saints sticker for Jonnie's ipod while putting it on for him. HAHA. After all the," It won't tear!"(s)... =p

Shall buy more nicer and better stickers. More designs are coming out soon! Woots so exciting. =))

when people are mean to me or when their words are harsher than normal, i cry.

Mommy..

Johnny brought a gun to school.
He told his friends that it was cool.
And when he pulled the trigger back,
it shot with a great crack.

Mommy, I was a good girl,
I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's,
I even got the gold!

But Mommy, when I went to school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go,
But Mommy, please don't cry.

When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny,
Got the gun from his older brother.

Mommy, please tell Daddy;
That I love him very much,
And please tell Zack; my boyfriend;
That it wasn't just a crush.

And tell my little sister;
That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother;
I'll be waiting for her now,

And tell my wonderful friends;
That they always were the best;
Mommy, I'm not the first,
I'm no better than the rest.

Mommy, tell my teachers;
I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this,
And please don't let this pass.

Mommy, why'd it have to be me?
No one deserves this,
Mommy, warn the others,
Mommy I left without a kiss.

And Mommy tell the doctors;
I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor,
Trying not to cry.

Mommy, I'm slowly dying,
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy please remember,
I'm in heaven with the rest.

Mommy I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack,

Mommy, listen to me if you would,
I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new,

I guess I'm not going with Daddy,
On that trip to the new zoo.

I wanted to get married,
I wanted tohave a kid,
I wanted to be an actress,
Mommy, I wanted to live.


But Mommy I must go now,
The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my Zack,
I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date.

I love you Mommy, I always have,
I know; you know it's true,
And Mommy all I wanted to sayis,
"Mommy, I love you."

I cried when I read this.

Was already feeling darn sad. Angry. Jealous. Disappointed.

I don't want things to change.

But I can't be selfish.

SA's college play was very.. small. As compared to AC's plays.

Love, food and babies.

My gosh. I was so hungry throughout the play. It didn't help that everything said in the play was referenced to food.

Zidian came like at the last minute and sat with Sethie and Wynnie. HAHA.

After the play, my class walked around for like half an hour. Before deciding to eat a MOS.

By then I was already half dead. Haha.

Ahh. SA's dance concert had better be better.

Looking forward to it. Oh darn I have practice again tomorrow!
