Haha, I went through the new school photos on Facebook, and I must say that it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it looks pretty cool and nice! =D Too bad my batch will only be able to use the facilities in the new school for about 1 year. But heehee, I've got great plans ahead for next year so that I'll remember the school forever! ^^ I shall explore the school when we get to move in next month. Who wants to walk around the school with me yo? xD

Here are some pictures of the new school. Credit goes to one of the teachers of the Chinese department.

The interior of the hall. It looks really, really big you know. I mean, as compared to the hall in the present site. LOL! xD It doesn't look air-conditioned though, and even if air-cons DO exist, that stingy egg wouldn't allow them to be turned on, would she? Oh well... =(


I think I will spend more time in the library. Although it's still in the works, but the library does give me a very comfortable feeling. Woohoo! Library, you better not disappoint me! =D


The track! Not bad eh? =)


Synthetic field. Yes, it's really synthetic! I can't believe that RV would actually invest in a synthetic field like this. All I know is that only rich schools like ACS(I) have a synthetic field. Lol, I'd rather the money go into installing air-cons in the hall and the classrooms. ._.


Finally, one of the photos from the album which I really like! Haha, it's not time for me to become that RV-philic yet. -.-'''

Toodles~! I don't really feel like blogging nowadays, so I'll blog as and when I like it. Haha, I'm off to watch all the movies I can get my hands on. xD

HAHA! I am really very happy! PW is FINALLY OVER! The bane of my life is finally gone! Lol, my group was really the unlucky group. =( Do you know who we had? We totally had one row of assessors sitting behind and watching us. The Cambridge examiner, 2 external moderators, 1 internal moderator (Ms Chia), 2 assessors (Mr Seetoh and Mrs Ong) and 1 chief examiner (Mr Wee). Do you know how many people there are in the room? That's 7 freaking people! O.O''' No wonder Mr Wee told us not to start even though we were ready. By the way, those external moderators and the Cambridge examiner really came ON THE DOT, at exactly 8 am. ._. 4C looked really crowded. Ms Chitra said that 5 groups today got the whole panel of assessors, and 2 of which came from my class. o.O''' The atmosphere in the room was unbelievably tense, but I'm glad that the assessors actually made the effort to smile at us to make us feel more at ease, especially our school teachers. So thank you very much! ^^ I think our overall presentation was alright, though I felt that I've screwed up my Q&A. Ah whatever. =( The atmosphere in the classroom was noticeably lighter after the other 5 assessors left to see the other groups from other classes.

Haha, after my group finished our OP, we went around telling everybody that we were the first group from our school to get the whole panel of assessors. Haha, I guess that it something to be very proud of. It’s something note-worthy to tell my juniors and descendants (if I have any LOL!). xD I even told Nice One about it!! =D I saw Nice One outside the library then she asked me how my OP went. I “complained” to her that I had 7 assessors assessing my group and even the Cambridge examiner came down personally to assess us. She was like, “Haiyo! Cambridge examiner ah? Don’t need to be scared one lah!” *umchios* Haha, she’s damn nice! <3 It’s no wonder that my Nice One is really a nice person! =D

After Eileen and I left school, we went to Anchorpoint to eat our lunch. Haha, I ate the Chicken Primavera, which tasted really very yummy although there was really a lot of garlic in it. But still, I think it’s worth the $6! My mum will kill me if she finds out that I spent $6 just on lunch. Anyway, after eating the Chicken Primavera, I’m more determined to go to the European countries. Europe, I will visit you soon~! =)

Adieu, PW! =D

Oh, and I do have another reason to be happy! I will be going to the airport to see my sister off, who is flying to Japan tonight! Changi Airport, see you there! =)

I've finally changed my blogskin! Thanks to Mona for introducing this great website for me to download really good Wordpress themes. I felt sorely tempted to switch to Wordpress after seeing so many great blog themes they have in store. The themes that are available in Blogger seriously suck. -.-''' Haha, this is one of the few times I'm using a blogskin made by other people, since I've always made my own blogskins except for the first few months when I first started blogging.

The reason why I chose to change my blogskin is because I didn't like the small post area that my previous blogskin had. I had to scroll all the way down just to see the rest of my post and to be frank, this really irritated me quite a bit. I guess that's the disadvantage of having a navigation-based blogskin, which is why I opted for this blogskin instead!

But I really took a very long time to figure out the new Blogger layout which involves XML since I've always been using the classic template, which involves HTML. Up till now, I still don't really know how XML works. I guess I'm still more comfortable with HTML. But XML works fine for people who do not have prior knowledge of HTML and are happy with the blogskin itself. I find it so hard to make any modifications to the blogskin with XML. >.< Grah... But I guess this blogskin still looks very pretty even if I can't make any major changes to it, so I'm a happy girl! ^^

I will continue to make more changes every now and then, so do keep a lookout! =D Haha, I do feel accomplished!! =) Oh ya, this blogskin enables you to post comments after every post, so if you do not want to tag on my tag-board, you can opt to post your comments on the post itself instead. =D

Yay!! =D

Oh, and I have to say hello to OP rehearsal tomorrow. Hopefully I will survive next week and bid farewell to PW forever. T_T

Mrs Brenda Law's retirement ceremony was held today. She has been in this school for 27 years, 1 year more than the drinks stall aunties, who have been selling us drinks to so many generations of RVians. Haiz, I think I will miss all of them. They have been such familiar faces ever since I first stepped into RV. It's been nearly 6 years now, nearly. Mrs Law actually looked quite pretty in the past, so is her mother HAHAHA! xD OK, she still looks very pretty. =D And of course, smiley! I love smiley teachers! <3 At least she will still get to see our new school campus at Boon Lay, since she is only leaving in January. Farewell, Mrs Law! I do hope you will have a very happy retirement! =D Oh, and farewell to (most of) the canteen stall vendors too!! Your delicious foods and exceptional service attitude will be sorely missed!! ='(

I got to see all QADs today, I think! =) The Cute One totally smiled at me and Shi Xian (Liang) today!! xDDD It's so freaking cute! <3 That's why I love smiley people! =D I saw Nice One today and totally got super high! ^^ Yi Jun's 帅 Chemistry teacher was totally amused by me and kept wondering if I was really mad or just plain crazy. xD The female Maths teacher who laughed at me when I was going high over the fiercest teacher in RV was smiling at me. o.O''' Maybe I was amusing her again, I don't know... -.-''' And erhem, I saw La La Moo again at the same place with Cross-Breed! ._. I saw Nice One in the library, but she was busy talking on her handphone, so I didn't dare to say hello. I hope she saw me though! ^^

I asked the juniors if she really looked like somebody. Evan thinks that she looks a bit like her. Yi Jun thinks that I'm just crazy. But haha, it's really thanks to him that I managed to see and get what I want. *secret* OK whatever. That is my Christmas present from him since he wished me "Merry Christmas!" when I received it. I told him he will get many Christmas presents from other people since he really did a good deed. I wished him "Happy New Year!" haha. xD I managed to convince Jia Yi and Kai Zhen that at least the top half of her face looked like her. They have to get up-close and personal to her if they want to be fully convinced. >.< So I hope they will get the chance to do so next year!

It rained nearly the whole day, so the weather was quite cold. I was really shivering in the band room, and I am still shivering as I am typing this post out. My mouth was really tired today, but I really love playing Celebrate. Thank goodness Ms Chan didn't go through Clarinet Sandwich today. All our mouths would have dropped off if she did actually proceed to play it. Sebby bets that Ms Chan will sooner or later take this piece out since it's actually quite difficult and taxing on us to play it, although it's really a good piece of music. I do agree with him too, for once. =P

I said "Bye, Ms Tee!" to Ms Tee when I boarded 166. Wei Kai was asking me why I was so enthusiastic over her. He knows though. xD

This post should pretty much sum up the last day of term for the juniors. One more week before PW ends! I'm really hoping for this week to pass quickly! ^^

Here are the class photos! Sorry 5B for not being able to give these out today as I didn't bring the order form. Don't worry, I'll pass it to you all when I see you all around in school! ^^

Formal class photo 1.


Formal class photo 2.


Informal shot! Farah says that I look like a Korean in this photo! o.O'''


Special candid. Nobody could recognise me. They thought I was somebody else. -.-'''

I thought what I've heard from other people were just rumours. I never knew that those were actually the truth. I chose to trust because firstly, I don't really believe in rumours until I've seen or experienced it for myself, and secondly, I believe in giving people second chances. Hell, to think that I've even spoken up for you a few times. I really abhor myself for being so naive, so stupid. It took me so long to realise that. I've tolerated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate any much longer. What you did that day, you have just proven them right, and me, wrong. How cruel, how insulting, and how much it hurt me. You may not know that, but that goes to show how aware you are of other people's feelings. Thank you very much for allowing me to see the real you.

BOOMZ. Happy Halloween!

Rah... I can't log in to Facebook now since my account is now under maintenance, so I can't play Mafia Wars and do other stuff to waste time. I guess I shall start memorising my script for my OP rehearsal tomorrow, since that person is so fickle-minded and wants us to come back to rehearse in front of the teachers again when we have decided to use the weekends to rehearse our Oral Presentation (OP) properly. What difference can 1 day make, you tell me? Seriously, that person irritates me. =X One more week and I hope I can get that person off my back, forever. I doubt that person will see this, but I better get it off my chest. Pent-up anger is no good for that person and me. I don't know what I'll do if that person continues to piss me off. I can't guarantee that I can keep my temper in rein these few days. >.<

Anyway, I made a trip to school today and saw La La Moo and Cross-Breed. o.O''' Haha, when I saw La La Moo, I totally went, "AH~! LA LA MOO!" and quickly turned my head away. I felt like running away LOL! xD I think Cross-Breed heard me, because when La La Moo walked past, she turned her head. Haha, I wonder if Cross-Breed knows that she has similar looks to La La Moo. Even people have been telling me that the both of them are almost like twins, with similar looks and the same "type" of voice. *winks*

After the rest settled their Written Report (WR) with their tutors, Hai Wei, Jennie, Charlene and I went to Ikea to eat our lunch. Hai Wei's guy and Hai Wei's guy's friend joined us after that. They were stalking Hai Wei! -.-''' Lunch was really good! I regretted not eating the baked sambal dory with rice that Charlene bought! The fish was really good! =D Jennie's cheesecake was excellent! *smacks lips* I only drank the Soup of the Day because I wanted to save room for my ice-cream. The mushroom soup was really, well, mushroom-my. It's not the type of soup you get from Campbell's, but nevertheless, I like it. ^^ My stomach ended up as a dumping ground because I kope-ed food from everybody! xD

Haha, I've found people to backpack with me to travel the whole of Europe! Jennie, Hai Wei and Charlene, you have all agreed ah!! xD But firstly, we must have a lot of money. Secondly, we must be unemployed to be able to stay at some places for months. -.-''' Oh, speaking of midnight sun, I was telling them about the midnight sun. Jennie thought I loved reading the Twilight series and started talking about things that I didn't understand. Hai Wei went crazy because she thought I watched some Japanese drama titled Midnight Sun and have read the book/manga. She, too, started talking about things I didn't understand. ._. And haha, which midnight sun did I mean to talk about? Of course I meant THE midnight sun. O.O''' But haha, I will surely visit the Scandinavian countries because of the midnight sun and polar night!! =D Europe, I will visit you soon!!!! ^^

Midnight sun! I swear that there isn't any typo here. This is REALLY night-time.


Polar night! This is EARLY AFTERNOON in Norway!

P.S. I really don't like you!! Seriously, something is wrong with you when the rest of us also feel the same way... Stop bossing around, stop making yourself so unlikeable and most importantly, QUIT WHINING, will you?!?! I really hope you see this. Just get this straight. We DO NOT like you. Let me repeat, we DO NOT like you when you act in this way. Stop acting like a lotus root/flower. This is a sincere plea from us, past and present. -.-'''

Alright, I shall stop ranting here. Thanks to Charlene and Hai Wei for listening to me. I really needed people to talk to. I shall sleep now and wake up early for Mrs Brenda Law's retirement ceremony tomorrow. I think I will feel sad although she hasn't really taught me. She is going back to England for good! Haha, maybe I'll see her when I go to Europe. xD I think Nice One knows that I will miss her. =(

Oh yes, I'm now known as Nice Two. ^^

Haha! I haven't been blogging for such a long time because I didn't have the time to touch even my own blog. To be honest, I've been spending more time on Facebook instead. xD Anyway, the reason why I'm blogging now is because I want to blog about the McDonald's Monopoly Singapore! You can safely say that it's one of the few rare times that people have gone crazy over McDonald's, the other time being the Hello Kitty craze almost 10 yearsw ago. ._.

Hui En and I went to eat at McDonald's today mainly because I wanted to get more game pieces. Haha, we should have upsized our meals lor. An extra 50 cents would have entitled us to 4 more game pieces each, which means we could have 16 game pieces altogether! o.O''' A pity Jun Hao only told me that on MSN just now. -.-''' OK, many of the game pieces were repetitive, so I gave some pieces to an old man sitting behind Hui En. He really did have many pieces, oh gosh! Oh, I gave some to Hui En and the 5E boys who happened to be at HarbourFront's McDonald's too. Lol, I hope nobody noticed that I was going around tables to nick those game pieces that the rest of the diners left behind. I must have looked like some scavenger. >.< Those cleaners who helped to clear the tables were really nice though! One of them went through pile of rubbish that the diners left behind and actually gave me the game pieces! Thanks a lot, really!! =D

Haiz... I think this is really a good strategy to lure people to spend more at McDonald's. Haha, Jun Hao said that I have fallen into their trap, which I admit, is really true. Do you know why? Because I intend to drag my mother and sister to McDonald's for lunch again tomorrow, and I'll make sure they upsize their meals. Gosh, at the time that I'm eating McDonald's, I'm pretty sure I'll put on weight soon and probably end up like another Morgan Spurlock in Supersize Me. O.O''' Rah, why do they have to resort to this kind of marketing strategy?? =( I'm not strong enough to resist such temptations! Damn it!! >.<

My monopoly game set

Alright, let me now make a list of the game pieces I have and the game pieces I need.

To win $50 000, I have the Marina Bay game piece and NEED the SENTOSA COVE game piece.

To win the 7D Hawaii Flycruise for 4 persons on Pride of America, I have the Ardmore Park game piece and NEED the ORCHARD ROAD and HOLLAND ROAD game pieces.

To win either a Samsung 40" Full HD LCD TV or a HP HDX18 Premium Notebook, I have the Raffles Place and Robinson Road game pieces.I NEED the SHENTON WAY game piece.

To win a 2N Malacca/Kuala Lumpur cruise for 4 persons on Superstar Virgo, I have the Amber Road and Bayshore Road game pieces. I NEED the TANJONG RHU game piece.

To win a $400 travel voucher from Jetstar, I have the Farrer Road and Queenstown game pieces. I NEED the THOMSON ROAD game piece.

To win a $200 Toys 'R' Us gift voucher, I have the Ang Mo Kio game piece. I NEED the TOA PAYOH and BISHAN game piece.

To win a 32GB touchscreen mp3 player worth $420 (Looks like an iPod Touch to me leh!), I have the Geylang Road game piece. I NEED the JOO CHIAT ROAD game piece.

Phew, I guess that's about all. I do have a few extra pieces though. Is anybody interested to trade with me the game pieces? xD

Sorry QADs! Today's post shall be dedicated solely to a teacher who is probably not known among the juniors, but is a famous teacher who impacted the lives of many generations of RVians, me included.

I saw Ms Lee Choi Yeok in the morning, coming out from the MRT train which stopped at Choa Chu Kang. At first, I found that old lady who was the first to get out of the train familiar. After that, a sudden realisation hit me. The RV bag she was carrying confirmed my doubts. I realised she IS Ms Lee. Unfortunately, I didn't get to greet her as she walked very fast and I was running late. But hmm, nearly 3 years after her retirement, I wonder what's Ms Lee doing now? She used to keep coming back to RV to talk (YES TALK!) and tend to her dear plants, but she hasn't been coming back in recent times. =( Haha, I saw her getting off at Choa Chu Kang, so perhaps she's working in Lot 1 now? xD OK, that is such a waste, considering the fact that she had been a teacher for 40 years! I can't imagine anybody else who has such dedication to teaching. =X But Ms Lee, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, I just wish that you would come back and talk to your plants and yes, ROCK ON in whatever you do, because you really do! =D

Aww, seeing Ms Lee this morning really made me think of the times she really made me laugh like crazy, and made me love Biology. She, for one, is one teacher who stuck by RV through her years. 40 years in fact. That's more than half her life! She used to teach the 3 Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) purely in Chinese during her early years, and had to switch to teaching them in English when RV became a SAP school. It was really difficult, considering the fact that she didn't know any English at all and had to suddenly switch to using English to teach. It is really difficult mastering another language, what's more using that language to teach students. For this, I really admire and respect her, for her contributions to RV, and her sheer grit and steely determination.

Ms Lee is truly a classic of RV. Oh, and I miss her gardening CIP.
=( Will she ever come back to RV and take over as a relief teacher, like other retired teachers? I certainly hope so. I truly hope to see her at our new campus at Boon Lay! ^^
