Say bye to 2008:(

Helo everybody.
I'm so sad right now.
2008 is comin to an end in just hours. And this year is the best year ever.
In 2008, I discovered TWILIGHT. I'd found something else to love other than HSM becoz I needed something to distract me while I was waiting for HSM3. I'd taken obsession to the next level by talking to the book and holding it in my arms where ever I went.
In 2008, I was in 6 PURITY. The best class ever, in my opinion. Each student was special in her own way and made 6P what it is- a fun and funny class. We were each given an animal to be and we stuck with it through the year(I'm a giraffe). But there were "wars" goin on. 2, in fact. I dun wanna mention anything but at that time, no matter which side you were on, you had frens who trust and love you, and you can tell, becoz they're still with you even if you're in different schs.
In 2008, I found a great group of frens-Angeline, Denise, Gloria, Ning Zhen, Shannon and Shuning. They stuck with me even when I was difficult and tolerated all my nonsense. My frenship also grew with Rachel, Jolene, Drama Queen and a lot more ppl. I knew how to tell whether sb was a true fren or not.
In 2008, our teachers were... PSLE was a nickname for doom. But in the midst of not handing up hw and talking in class, we actually learned something and we survived PSLE. Hooray! The teachers was fantastic, especially Mrs Hum and Su Lao Shi,Mrs Lye and Ms Lim, in fact, I think I might miss them. A lot.
In 2008, my mum was more of a B that she ever was. I learned how to block her out and not cry when she slapped me. I learned to keep my face neutral(though she thinks that's my bad temper look) and not seek revenge. She complained more than ever this year and her unreasonableness was excruciatin. But I survived it though.
In 2008, I discovered Club Penguin and bloggin(thx Denise 4 gettin me addicted). Fads come and go but true frenship is always there.
In 2008, I got more involved with fanfiction. I left over 200 reviews this year(yay me). I've also started publishin again(more yays)
In 2008, many disasters occured around the world. Myanmar, Sichuan... a lot of sadness this year but everybody around the world pitched in to help and made it all better. And of course, the China milk incident. We're doubtin China's products...(I still remember Shuning raiding through everybody's pencilcase for China stuff to throw away). We're gonna check the fine prints b4 buyin stuff now.
In 2008, learned to accept reality and rejection. Sometimes when u work hard and dun get the results u wanted, it's v.sad. But I managed to pull through. I also taught myself how to work hard, endure and try my best, (even if that was at the end of the year) and I'm so proud of myself. I actually tried b4 I asked for help and that was reali satisfyin.
In 2008, two of my BFs moved away and left me all alone:( That was sad.
In 2008, I got to go out with my frens for the first time. That was cool. I'll remember goin out with my BFFs always.
In 2008, the class bonded over laughs and tears. Even if were're not all at the same place next year, we're still 6 PURITY and once a 6P girl, always a 6P girl. I'll hv to get used to not havin u all there with me in class next year.(tearin up as I'm typin)
This entry is dedicated to everyone whos made my year the best one ever. Call me crazy, but I'll b celebratin the comin of 2009. The future is scary but it's not written in stone. Everyone has a hand in makin their future a better one and hope 2009 will be filled with joy and laughter for all my readers.
But to my BFFs and classmates, dun 4get me, ok? Dun forget the crazy giraffe orange squashed work and drama queen 2 in 6P'08.
I might be growing older but I'm never growin up.
Peace out ppl! And have a great New Year(Chinese New Year comes earlier this year. Yay! Money!)

P.S I also got to stay overnite in Tokyo Disneyland at the Tokyo Disneyland hotel and I felt like a princess! I loved it. Best hotel ever!

Well that's all folks!

Old school;(almost)New ppl

Now that reality has hit me like a ton of bricks,I reali miss my frens!It's reali sad...(be sad with me ppl)So 4 e orientation...well,the Pricipal delived her signature loooooooong speech and we went to the classrooms(I still dunno my classmates,so pray 4 me!).So here's the St Nicks status(yes,I've been payin attention)-149 pure St Nicks,252 other pri sch,9 scholars(frm Malaysia,I think)which adds up 2 about...410,rite?Sry,bad math.Tsk,tsk,tsk!Such a disappointment!4 ppl who hv blogs,update them about ur orientation day!Like now(after readin my blog,of course)!So,we didn't reali do anything...just fill up forms and stuff...but 4 some reason,I was reali high...I mean I should b depressed,but bein hyper today was just...a bad move.Didn't reali meet anybody new...But I did see Natalia(6F),Natalie(6H),and big shocker-Min Ting(6J)!And of course,many PURITY GIRLS!Like Jobo(gave me a gigantic pen frm Paris),Fats,Nuts,Drama Queen(we hugged each other in the midst of movin ppl and weird stares),Nicole...If I missed out anybody,I'm sry,becoz of my bad memo!And I saw...ANGELINE!!!We clung onto each other after the whole orientation!I was seriously happy!
But,to tell u the truth,I'd rather give up my love 4 HSM and TWILIGHT and return 2 boring,lifeless me b4 I found it 4 my frens 2 b in the same sch as me and same class!I'd be jumpin 4 joy!
Oh,and today,when I entered the hall,I remembered when we prepared 4 graduation...I can still recall how all the teachers tried to get us 2 sing the two songs...and hearin our teachers sing(ok,well not all),but not seein 1 familiar face amongst the teachers I saw 2day...I was so overwhelmed by those bittersweet memories...and I reali want 2 relive the P6 graduation again,hard work and all.
...
I can b emo...
(back to my old happy self)SO!Type type type,about how ur day went at THE SEC 1 ORIENTATION.Was it as uneventful as mine?Hope not!
And to my BFFs in other schs,u must always remember what the last 'F' in BFF stands 4,alright!Miss you but love u all more,
Sim
P.S Oops,just realised that I was supposed 2 write(type)about my day with my fren Charlene in P5...oh well I'll try 2 update 2moro.
P.P.S I finished THE MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY already!YAY!I love it!Go and read that book now,shoo!

*sigh*...Reality is harsh

(Very dejectedly)Hi ppl...*sigh*Well,I got back my sec sch results...4 those of u who dun noe(I doubt so)I've been posted 2 St Nicks...Y so sad,u ask.Becoz everyone is goin seperate ways...Poh Poh is goin 2 Duman(High,not Sec),Denise and Shu're goin 2 Nanyang,NZ is goin 2 Nan Chiao(sp?) and Shannon is goin 2 NJC...only Angie(yay!)is stayin with me in St Nicks.Not to mention Drama Queen,Fats,Nutsy,Jobo and Carolyn.But most probably we won't be in the same class...and sum ppl I'm...not OK with might be in the same class as me(no,not u!).SAD.I noe it,I just noe it!We'll reassure each other that we'll be best frens 4ever and by the end of next year,they'll b like "WHO r U?"And by mid-2010,it'll be like best frens never!
...
...
But next year,I'm probably gonna re-invent my personality.I mean,if I can sit quietly at the back of my art class 4 more than half a year,than I can b someone else.(OK,by now,u would've realised that my blog looks different...well it is!The blog skin anyways,the rest of the blog is still 100% ME!A GREAT BIG THANKS TO DENISE WHO HELPED ME WITH MY TECH DIFFICULTIES.AND TO GLORIA 2 FOR...BEIN THERE,yea,that's it,bein there.But me bein me,I'll probably return 2 my old blog skin becoz I have no idea how to do anything on this except to post new entries,no offence to Denise who is probably screamin with frustration and angrily dialin the phone to call me,but I feel completly immobilized(sp?).SRY!)So when I get my blog back to they same ol' not boooring and plain as b4,I'm gonna put up a poll on which character should I b.Here's a preview:

1.EMO(I'll b reali negative and quiet,and when my Math teacher asks me a quest. I dun noe how 2 answer,I'll say(in a Brit accent;no offence to my English frens!):"O,but what am I to judge a rose,with all it's beauty,for it has thorns-"(And continue with a American hard-rockstar accent;no offence to American hard-rockstars):"-that pierce through your heart and into your soul and mashes it into mush!"(And back to mellow English accent quieter than ever):"Cookies.")

2.B a nerd(U:Hey Sim,wanna hang out?
Me:Wait first I have to do Math.
U:Nerd.)no offence to nerd and Math doers

3.B weird...er than I already am(I'll reply to ppl's quest. reali loudly in a reali annoyin way and clap my hands 4 5mins every 3 mins and yell random stuff like:"Happy Oobla Day!"and "Crocodiligator"and "FLABS!")

4.Love myself too much("I'm so pretty!I'm so smart!I'm so nice!I'm so kind!I'm so friendly!I'm sooo popular that everybody loooves ME!But nobody loves me more than ME!"need I say more?)

5.B a more of a tom-boy than I already am(U:Hey Sim,wanna hang out?
Me:U mean like do stuff that involves mud,spit, blood and bugs?And Mud?
U:No)

6.B reali mysterious(Maths teacher:What's 2+2
Me:4...or is it...

...

Random fren no.#3507:Do u like the cookies I baked u?

Me:I do...or do I...

...

Cashier:That'll b $4.65.

Me:It is...or is it...)

7.B reali sensitive(U:Hey Sim,wanna ha-

Me:You're so mean!

U:But,I-"

Me:*slap u then run of cryin*)

8.B reali aggresive(The math teacher asks me a complex Math sum:"What's 2+2?"And I ans:"3789."Math teacher who clearly doesn't hv a brain:"That's not correct."I pound my fist into my palm:"U gotta problem wit that,bub?")

9.B...I dunno...not me?(...I got nothin.)

10.B 100% ME!(By readin my blog,u can tell that I'm a crazy,HSM AND TWILIGHT fanatic,has a weird sense of humour who loves ppl type of girl)

So if u wanna vote now,just it is important...coz I'm reali troubled by this,I mean,if I dunno who I'm gonna b then...I won't noe me,even if I am me...WOW.That's a new level of confused...so vote vote vote!Every vote counts!

Actually,there's a lot more I wanna write..but ya noe,my memory isn't as gd as a 108 year old vampire(wink wink),so...

Ciao!

P.S TWILIGHT!

UGH!

I just cannot stand some ppl!
"It's very likely you will be watching Twilight in the theatres together with screaming female fans."Blah blah blah blah blah blah!As if S'poreans "female fans"will be screamin coz they're too concerned with how other ppl will think of them!As if they reali like TWILIGHT!To them it's just a fad.They'll b on with their lives when this whole thing blows over!In the U.S it's different.Some ppl are willing to line up 4 7hrs to get red carpet and movie passes and they're so into it,I mean like they have tatoos and everything!(I'm planning to draw on my arm like what I did 4 HSM3)And the "female fans" here r here becoz "it's v.popular"!Not that I'm not happy that Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT is so popular,but they're likin it 4 the wrong reasons!I bet 90% of those "female fans"didn't noe that the author's name is spelt 'Stephenie' and not 'Stephanie'.DUH!!!It's such an insult!I hope I become a vampire so I can kill those losers.
And the fact that TWILIGHT's recieved more attention than HSM3 in S'pore just pisses me off,OK?I mean I love them both equally but helo,International No.1 Movie we're talkin about!But I'm happy(in a way)becoz I'm a strugglin patron of HSM,tryin so hard to show the world the beauty of HSM.But that's not the case 4 TWILIGHT.Most ppl dun noe what they're screamin about.That just sucks!I'd prefer Team Jacob(werewolves're cool 2!)ppl rather than "female fans" any day,becoz unlike the clueless S'porean "female fans",they noe what they're screamin about!
I'm BIO so dun be offended.It's just one girl's opinion.
And,like I've said to Fats,I'M NOT CREEPY!I'M JUST OBSESSIVE.
And(again)I've hit my no.200 email!(refer to my last entry 4 recap)I'm goin 4 no.300!Wish me luck!
Toodles,
Sim

Goin craaazzy!

OK,so yesterday was like the worst day ever!And today,I saw,in this chinese newpaper,a contest where they ppl will choose 10 ppl who enter(u just need name,add,tel and NRIC)and give them a TWILIGHT mug,4 notebks and a poster(I've been looking everywhere 4 it)!I thought it would b such a miracle if I got a set becoz just yesterday(worst day ever),at Bugis Junction,u had to spend $120 then u can go 4 a sure win lucky draw 4 either 1 of those movie stuff and I bought a bag 4 $145(it took me a hard time to convince my mum dat I wanted the bag and not the free stuff)and it turned out dat the stuff ran out of stock!!!That's so suckish,becoz I wanted to buy HSM3 collector's cards(u noe)and I couldn't find it and now the TWILIGHT stuff were out of stock.So u're sayin like:why not got to ebay and buy?And I snap:BECOZ MY MUM WON'T LET ME!!!And u noe in S'pore,they dun sell stuff like that so I felt like cryin on the spot.My eyes got red and the tears were spillin over(I didn't cry).Angry,frustrated...feel my pain.So I'm sumittin my particulars 4 the contest thing and so far,frm 08:18-08:43(time),I've sent out 108 emails to the ppl at the papers.
I just cannot stand those posers that "love" TWILIGHT becoz of the movie and they hv dun even read the books!So I'm venting my anger by sending out as many emails as possible,so my chances of winnin r higher.And to those posers who started likin TWILIGHT just becoz of BREAKING DAWN and/or the movie,u suck!*starts cursin at those ppl*"!@#$%^&*"I HATE U! (Breathes heavily)They dun deserve anything!(except 4 those who r my frens,then that's ok)Hope they die a Happy Tree Friends death!!!Muahahaha!!!
I'm gonna start email s'more soon,so tata!
~Sim
To those fake TWILIGHT lovers in S'PORE:LOSERS!LOSER-FACE!(chuckles evilly)I bet I noe more about TWILIGHT than u losers!(no offence)
P.S I reali need to find a way to channel my anger!But right now I'm BIO(bloggin it out)
P.P.S Help me pray that I'll get the TWILIGHT stuff!

SURVIVOR:GABON

Did anyone watch the finale for SUVIVOR:GABON?It was...kinda surprising...No one voted for Sugar...so sad.I loved her!I can't believe Matty lost to a fire-making competition!But I would've voted for Sugar.Corrine is so mean!I hate her!But Bob deserved it...HI-larious when he couldn't build a house of cards...Hello?Physics teacher?Sugar was doin pretty well too,I can see how she approaches it-making taller but thus makin it less stable.Matty was goin for the reali stable approach and Susie...I dunno how she did it but she won the last Immunity challenge.When Sugar had to vote between her 'Dad'(Bob)and her 'Bro'(Matty),it brought tears to my eyes...so sad!And Matty was furious coz she promised him that she'll never rite his name down...but it ended out in a tie which led to the fire-makin tie-breaker,which Bob won...*sigh*.But Randy was the one who can't forgive and forget,I mean,it was a COOKIE!Ugh!
Here's the list for the top 5:
1st BOB
2nd SUSIE
3rd SUGAR
4th MATTY
5th KEN(loser!)
But I thought THE AMAZING RACE was less dramatic becoz there were no blindsides and no one had to endure Corrine,Randy,Crystal and Ken.But I was a hard-core Nick and Starr fan for TAR...They are unbelievable!I love them!
So I'm goin shopping later,if u watched either TAR or SURVIVOR,tag me.It is of utmost importance...And I welcome my cousin,Celine back to the INTERNET...After...a sad incident...
TO CELINE:u better break up with him!
TO 6P GIRLS:Drama Queen's party is on Dec 23 @ her house...I'm not goin...dun bother to buy pressies for me...and tell me which sch u all get into,ok?(this public announcement is brought to u by me and Yong Yi,u still owe me 6million dollars(remember?)and plus the fees for this announcement,it sums up to about 7million and 500 US$.US$.)

Disclaimer:I dun own the fine piece of liturature below.It soley belongs to Mr.Trenton Lee Stewart.

"ARE YOU A GIFTED CHILD LOOKING FOR SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES?"
When this perculiar ad appears in the newpaper,dozens of children enroll to take a series of mysterious mind-bending tests.But in the end just four very special children will suceed.Their challenge:to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and resourceful children could complete.With their newfound friendship at stake,will they be able to pass the most important test of all?

~*~

The third question was,thankfully,less emotional.It read:"What is wrong with this statement?"How funny,Reynie thought,and marking down his answer he felt somewhat cheered."It isn't a statement at all,"he wrote."It's a question."

P.S I've been postin the 'gd phrases'(6P girls u'll understand).So here's the wisdom 4 two days ago,yesterday and today.

"A journey of a thousand miles

must begin with a single step."

Lao-tzu

"To show your true ability is always,

in a sense,to surpass the limits of your ability,

to go a little beyond them:

to dare,to seek,to invent;

it is at such a moment that new talents

are reavealed,discovered and

realized."

Simone de Beauvior

"Happiness is not in

the mere possession

of money;

it lies in the joy of achievement,

in the thrill of creative effort."

Franklin Roosevelt

YO PPL!
So my cousin didn't cum yesterday.:(But wateves...I spent the nite readin fanfics and listening to songs...And I watched ET(entertainment 2nite)and found out that Miley Cyrus is no.100 in the list of ___(I forgot,OK?)women so I decided to listen to some of her songs and now I'm hooked.I'm such an idiot...but I never said she could ACT well.But she can sing...kinda...well,fine she can sing.
And big,big,BIG news...I went 4 a haircut today...so u all can feel my pain...It's reali short...but not like a bowlcut...it's more of a bob-ish type of hairstyle.It's still short(like it was ever long).But I forgave the hairdresser,she was nice and told me my hair was pretty(as in like the quality of hair and wateva...).*attempts to flip hair*She said I had a natural curl...ya hear that?Ol' natur-al.Well it's more of a wave...
I just realised a wrote a whole chapter about my hair...*gasp*
Wat else,wat else...Um,I bought 8days 2day...AHHH!KRISTEN STEWART AND ROBERT PATTINSON MADE THE FRONT COVER!!!!!That's why I bought it...And ppl say he's U.G.L.Y.He's sooo tall!1.85!!!*SCREAM!!!!*And I'm a total Kristen Stewart fan now...But I think she has to smile more...(just an opnion...)I LOVE TWILIGHT...AND HSM!
And I think u all noticed I didn't actually go look 4 blogskinz...
Hehehe...yea
