dunno lah. i think i'll stop at the end of the yr. when i more on to RJC for better things to come. hahaha. it's just that i think i'll be much more abosrbed with sch stuff and the new CCAs i want to take up so i shldn't waste my time anymore. yah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this weekend was quite fun. went down to Ngee Ann City for the Festival of the Deaf. it's ok lah. a bunch of 409ers were helping out there for their SL project. Cherylyang too!! haha. nth special happened. it's just that meeting cheryl at Orchard is cool cause we've been talking of going to Red Earth @ Orchard for the past week. hahaha. her mum's friend works there. after popping by the fest, i went with my aunt to Meritius Mandarin for a talk on Autism. some of the speakers were boring, but the mum of an autistic child was quite touching when she shared her experiences of raising one. then my aunt and i went to the mooncake fest at the basement of Taka and she followed me while i tasted all the mooncakes=) she isn't interested in food. haha. and dinner was at Pepper Lunch. it was an interesting experience because u get to cook your own food.  but actually most of it is already done for u, all u have to do is spread the seasoning and mix everything up. haha. but the food wasn't anything special and it's quite expensive so i wouldn't recommend it to my friends/family. yah. but there was a long queue when we came out. after dinner walked around Kinokuniya and then to Orchard Library. borrowed some Makeup books and a novel titled White Oleander. i borrowed it cause it sounded like a bestseller to me. hahaha. will start on it once i finish Memoirs of a Geisha which i borrowed from Alcina and the 5 copies of seventeen i borrowed from Alison. haha=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Birthday ShinJung! and Happy Birthday Yunlin whose birthday falls 2 days later. and Xinmiao whose birthday falls on the 21!!

YEAH. i'm going to make sure we have the strongest team possible in every single game to pull up our scores from term 1-3. we didn't do too well cause we had zero participation for things like Fan Fict=( shld have gotten Tianni to join.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheryl Tay, Hui Juen and i are starting a club. i don't know what's it's name. but it's the club where we go to the gym together, and play badminton and floorball together. membership is free. feel free to come down if you're interested. i shall get abby to join the club too. then the club's other activities will include Tennis and Running. whee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RI Boarding's 10th Anniversary dinner was last Saturday. i know i'm very late. hahaha. blogging about what happened last week. but didn't feel like blogging. actually i wanted to blog cause my days are always quite fun and eventful. but the thought of having to use my lousy com which hangs and shuts down every few minutes makes me want to SCREAM. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway the dinner was quite fun. the food was not good as usual. but i enjoyed the company. so that made up for it. wasn't expecting it to so fun, so i didn't bring my camera=( ahhh. but i still got some pictures cause i borrowed my friends' cameras. just waiting for them to send the picts. they're all to busy recently cause Sec 4s are having Prelims and the J2s are as busy as ever.&lt;br /&gt;but Peiting sent me the one i took with harrish already=) yay.

Peishan is capt, Gen n Xin Er are vice-capts=) Good Luck Guys! i really hope you guys can do lead the team to greater heights! double champs and beyond!=D it was a great experience being in the Exco and i glad i managed to do my bit for the team. but i wish i'd done more=( Like what Mrs.Loh says at SLN GMs, we shld try to leave a legacy, and to always do our best to prep our successors who have to take over us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i failed in this area because i didn't share my SLN experiences and learnings with the House Com and develop any of the potential Capts/Vice Capts so that they will be ready to step up when the time come. it's the time factor!! i think RGS girls are juggling so many committments, so much so that they can nvr take time off to reflect. haiz. this is one of my main learning points this year, that i shld reflect upon my actions and become a better person/ leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think the last paragraph was damn confusing. haha. maybe to some pple it will be. cause i was just typing down some of my thoughts as they came about n i didn't organise them at all=) haha. anyway back to CT. it was one of the most productive ever i must say. we came up with tons of suggestions, some of which i'm really enthusiastic about!!=) but whether they will work depends on next year's Exco and how they work with the team. i wish i could still be in the team next yr, it sounds like it'll be an exciting year ahead!! haha. but then again, nothing can make me want to repeat Sec 4 again. the workload is tremendous lah, it's crazy!!! i don't know how Jing Wei or Anna can cope when they have so many other responsiblities. Jing Wei is top in standard!! i think i shld drop French, then i'll have more time on other more meaningful stuff. it's not like my French is getting anywhere anyway. Madame Tse is a nice teacher, but she's just so slow!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AHH. why do i keep going off tangent?? haha. Centralised Trng!! don't sidetrack. anyway about the proposal i keep bringing up at CT yesterday.. i was proposing EXCO luncheons!=) such a wonderful idea. how come i only thought of it yesterday?? i got this idea from the SLN Student-Admin Luncheons=) it's good that i'm starting to be able to link SLN to the Swim Team. that was the reason why the school sent us for the DISC workshop and the other Leadership Trng Programmes, so we can apply it in our role as leaders of Houses, CCAs, Classes, etc. at the start of the year, i really couldn't see how to apply it and how i could get it to relate to the student population. but recently i've been able to see the connection!!=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the Sec 4 Swimmers and i are also thinking of going to Malaysia at the end of year!! Sunway Lagoon or Genting Highlands!!=) i hope it works out. pls pls let it work out. it's would be such an amazing experience to go travelling together with the Swimmers. plus we're planning it ourselves, so it's going to be all the more meaningful it it does work out=D the first team holiday ever!! we can be the pioneer batch=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this was quite a long entry! HAH. although i shoudn't be doing this since it's almost 1am and i have to go to school tmr morn for Speech Day rehersal. plus i'm having a fever=( i don't want to be sick when EOIs are in 2 weeks and SLN datelines are so close!! Haiz.

AHH. almost didn't go trng because i wanted to continue reading it. but i'm glad i was strong enough to say ENOUGH and gather enough strength to head down to the pool!! YAY. i'm proud of myself for making the right decision, if i'd skipped trng to read, i wld have finished it by now and then there'll be nth to read!!!=( i'm sort of dreading to finish it cause it would mean not being able to enjoy such heart wrenching suspense for until like, 2 yrs later?=( sob.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyway the book has been so far so good!! it rocks!! i love JK Rowling! i was at Popular at 7.06am to collect my precious and once i started reading up to the third chapter, my heart was beating non stop! (i'm at around page 410 now) i already sort of know how the story ends thanks to Lisa, Shawn and Justin. Lisa was asking me how the book ended, so i flipped to the last 2 pages and accidentally saw the words "Dumbledore's Death"!!! ARGH. why must Dumbledore die?? then Lisa was so funny. she quickly took the book away and read it n said "No, no where got? you're dreaming lah." or sth to that effect. haha. but at trng, Shawn Ng and Justin Tan started telling me about how Snape killed Dumbledore!! GRRR. Spoiler!! i'm a lot further than them in the book, but they read the last parts first and they described exactly how Snape killed Dumbledore to me!! ARGH. i was torn btw the desire to savour the book page by page and wanting to find out what happened!!!=(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;see, i got carried away while gushing about The half blood Prince. i didn't even talk about sch nats yet!! i enjoyed Sch Nats tremendously cause this year's team ROCKS! haha. we got Double Champs!! so did RJC. only RI spoiled the winning streak by losing the B div Boys title. =( why was their picture in the papers when they were the ones who "tarnished" the RAFFLES names? hrmph. but who cares, i love my team and that's all that matters!=) haha. quite a few pple brought Digital Cameras and took tons of nice pictures. i set up a RGS swimmers Shutterfly account so we can all share our pictures and next yr's swimmers can add on too=) YAY. i sense the start of a new tradition! it's going to have a lot of sentimental value for me next time. my final year in RGS and we're Double Champs. HAH. we rock! i'll add the link to the pictures once almost everyone has uploaded their pictures then u can all see how RGS Swimmers (actually all swimmers) are so cool and funky and join us next yr! whee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dinner was at Cafe Cartel and it was yummy=) i shared a Crispy Combo with Peishan and Xiner=) and after the meal, Serene and i bought ms.ong a slice of Tiramisu Cheesecake cause she treated us to Crystal Jade the day before. but she claimed she couldn't finish, so we helped her eat some to. hehe. it was yummy! really ex and fattening yeah, but it's a once a yr activity anyway. but i thought the company was even better than the food! sat with Gen, Tara, Lisa, Amer, Val and of course Peishan n Xiner and we were on a photo taking spree!! it was so much fun i even forgot about the food at times. haha. but of course i finished everything lah, n i took pictures of some of the dishes too=) typical me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/speedbel/P1010698.jpg" /&gt; Sec 4 batch of 2005=) except lisa who was showering=(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/speedbel/P1010745.jpg" /&gt; lisa, val and me!=D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/speedbel/P1010743.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kalya, isis, me, claire. my cute juniors! hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/speedbel/P1010739.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yiwen, serene, kat, pam, me,emily. see yiwen's and my funky socks? our farewell gifts=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/speedbel/DSC_0008.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i &lt;3 my team. enough said=D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-112157204189579066?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/112157204189579066/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=112157204189579066' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/112157204189579066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/112157204189579066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/07/sch-nats-n-harry-potter-6.html' title='Sch Nats n Harry Potter 6'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-112064901181418030</id><published>2005-07-06T19:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-07T20:28:09.496-07:00</updated><title type='text'>once in a blue moon</title><content type='html'>hey all. sorry to everyone who have been coming here. no, i haven't given up this blog. just that i won't update it much. i want to update. but i really have no freaking time!! argh. what's RGS problem? the teachers always give us impossibly difficult projects and expect us to do them. and they don't even want to explain any of our queries? what are they being paid for then huh? andrew chia refused to even explain his incomprehensable ppt. and joanna told him straight to his face that when she talks to him, she feels like vomitting blood. haha. i can understand why. all he did was speak vaguely about how other pple can do so we shld have no problems and how &lt;em&gt;his boss &lt;/em&gt;Tan Beng Chiak says cannot say this, cannot do that. GAH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIO pt is so sucky. when i asked my RJC friends, the swimmers and hostel mates, no one has even heard of a freaking rosette!! the huge thick RJC Bio tb dosen't even talk about rosette structures when it explains DNA packaging!! why are we learning this when RJ students don't even learn it?

Macs is right beside Cafe Cartel and guess who we saw at Macs?!! Nicholas!! he was with a guy and 2 other girls. i was like "turn back, turn back!! i don't feel like seeing him now!!" haha. it was funny! so we went to Pastamania.

RGS band Conetto Ice-Cream, $1. RJC swim team hot dog bun, $2. parents for RGS fish and chips $2.

Nicholas Tan was there too. Michelle Tan was reporting his presence to Christel. hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sat around for most of the meet=) i was taking pictures of people swimming. esp Joscelin Yeo! haha. oh yah, i got Sixiu and Michelle Tan to go with me to take a picture with her after the meet. Joscelin is damn nice! she looks fierce and anti-social (like me!=) because she never talks to anyone and she was sitting along for quite some time. but when we went to talk to her, she was so friendly!! haha. she autographed the piece of paper i stole from the announcer's table. lol. and she took a nice pic with me! yay! i'm not crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today rocked! it was so funny! going to narrate 3 incidents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;first: before the meet, we were doing starts and Uncle Meng Seng was the starter. suddenly Parker said "Uncle Meng Seng!! a bee just went up your sleve!" Ums started panicking and we all turned around. then the bee flew out and stung his arm. and someone said that he should suck out the blood. then uncle meng seng stuck out his arm n went "quick! someone suck for me!" hhahaha. it was bloody funny! everyone turned away. and Meryl said that if you suck it your lips will become swollen. haha. rubbish. her source are the Hongkong serials she watches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;second: the event was 100m Fly. Dan Dan, Bernadette Lee and Zoe Ong were some of the girls who were swimming. berny was leading by Dandan by a bit. at the 50m mark, guess what happened? Dan dan turned and started swimming &lt;em&gt;backstroke!&lt;/em&gt; she thought it was 200IM -_- haha. it was so funny. all of us spectators were like "What is she doing?" after that Dan dan told Claire and i that she was actually very happy, because she thought everyone else was doing the wrong stroke!! lol. blur right? haha. but very cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there were also other funny incidents lah. had a very good laugh with Meryl and Huiling during kickboard. toilet jokes=) and i also told them about Joscelin=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and the food/ refreshments served after the meet were yummy! i loved the croissants. Delifrance standard=D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hi-pop was great. i'm glad the Singapore Swimming Association organised this "league". it rekindled my interest in competive swimming. haha. it may not last, but at least it made me think about all the funky things swimmers do and reflect on why i like swimming=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-111425815498047939?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/111425815498047939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=111425815498047939' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111425815498047939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111425815498047939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/04/hi-pop.html' title='Hi-Pop!'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-111408920686436661</id><published>2005-04-21T21:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-21T06:13:26.866-07:00</updated><title type='text'>stressed!</title><content type='html'>AHH!!

ME!=) haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we took a Leadership Style test. it was really really accurate!! amazingly reflective of me as a House Captain. i think it was really accurate for most pple too. i am a very High "D" person. D stands for Dominance/ Direct. and the facilitator said that people who are high Ds hardly smile and they are sometimes insensitive. but when you see them not similing, it dosen't mean they're angry , just that they are in their thinking modes. which means they are focusing on sth. hahaha. everyone shld keep that in mind ok? lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we learnt more than just that during the 4hours workshop. the presentation was really effective. esp when u compare it to the MBTI workshop where we got an incompetant facilitator. Gah. the pple today &lt;em&gt;know &lt;/em&gt;their stuff and you can see that they are really smart pple. one of them is a lawyer btw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;won't update anymore. i need to sleep!! just take my word that DiSC was worth going. but i wish i didn't have to miss trng for it. Isis said trng was fun and they had relay!! her team won for both races. haha. but see? i have bad luck. April 16 is a bad date for me. btw, Thank you Isis for doing me the favour i asked from u!!=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-111367071178304704?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/111367071178304704/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=111367071178304704' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111367071178304704'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111367071178304704'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/04/sln-workshop.html' title='SLN Workshop'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-111358222092310685</id><published>2005-04-16T00:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-15T09:23:40.923-07:00</updated><title type='text'>crappy day again</title><content type='html'>my mum went back to Perth today=( i don't want to go back to the hostel to live. i love my house! my house is nice! i love my fridge and com most of all=) with my everlasting supply of chocolates and cheeses!! whee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; before my mum left, my aunts, grandmother, mum and i went to the airport for dinner. they are all from my mum's side. btw, one of the two aunts i had dinner with just now is the mother of you-know-who. =) haha. we had Sakae Sushi. which was NOT good. don't go to Sakae Sushi. the food is nothing special but the prices are outrageous. see? bad combi. as President of FAN, i should know what i'm talking about, so believe me, don't go. my dad cooks better food!=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; after dinner hanged around with my aunt for awhile at the airport. i brought her to see the chocolate shops! haha. she dosen't approve of it. according to both she and my mum, that's how i get my pimples. and according to them, my cousin has better complexion. hrmph. i refuse to give up my chocs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; hmm. my mum should be touching down in Perth about now. but she said she isn't going to call because she expects me to be asleep already. although i said i wouldn't be. oh wells.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-111358222092310685?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/111358222092310685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=111358222092310685' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111358222092310685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111358222092310685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/04/crappy-day-again.html' title='crappy day again'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-111348324935449743</id><published>2005-04-14T21:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-14T06:44:25.363-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Misconceptions about Marriage</title><content type='html'>today was a fairly interesting day. i was talking to everyone about cousins marrying cousins. and i realised that many people think that cousins shouldn't marry cousins!! Noo! there is no proof that the baby will be deformed ok. hrmph, what age are we living in now? how come everyone is still so conservative?=( my only supporters are Yunlin, Wulei(only a bit) and Meryl Wee!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today we had &lt;a href="http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=Sex" target="_blank"&gt;Sex&lt;/a&gt; Ed. and Yangyang. note it's yang2 not me=) asked Miss.Mariette Ong is cousins can marry cousins. and Ms.Ong said No!! gah. she went on to explain using the bible as sort of a guiding principle. but like Tianni said, i don't follow the Bible! so that means it's acceptable for me! haha. there isn't really proof that cousin and cousin will produce a deformed child, but everyone keeps saying that. and Juline said, "just because you like your cousin dosen't mean you have to marry him." haha. Juline always has very interesting comments. but i'm not thinking of marrying him! just because he's gd looking dosen't mean i want to marry him. it's only a thought lah. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;guess what Mr.Ong said today? he announced that &lt;a href="http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=Sex" target="_blank"&gt;Sex&lt;/a&gt; is Pleasurable! haha. &lt;a href="http://searchmiracle.com/text/search.php?qq=Sex" target="_blank"&gt;Sex&lt;/a&gt; is good! yunlin decided that this fact is very impt, so she went and spreaded it around. haha. and Cherylsim says that after i told her about what he said, she can no longer think clearly when she sees him. muahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today is Parker's birthday. i wished him Happy Birthday at 1158pm yesterday and he said thanks! hahaha. more interesting than Annalyn's. whee. how come there are so many guys who's bdaes are on april 14?&lt;br /&gt;conincidence=) i'm going to Annalyn's Birthday celebration this Sunday!!=) yay. i like celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh yah, i'm back on diet. because i am fat=( yunlin says she likes me to be pretty. hahaha. but shinjung says it's just cause she wants someone to diet with her! and Audrey says that Charlene Ooi is relatively shuai. haha. everyone says audrey's IMCB lab partner is damn shuai. saw the picture, but i know pple who are better looking=D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; i just got new evidence to proof that cousins can marry cousins! from chatting with Nicole Ang my Logistics manager, aka Tarbet House Mascot=) she's a Sec 2 Genius! muacks i love u! haha. for supporting me. nicole says that in medieval england, if the person was kin it'd be considered cousin. and i could follow the royalty. marry within the family to keep the bloodline pure. and unless my family has a long tradition of intra-family marriage. then whatever crud to do with recessive genes which result in deformity and what not will pop up. hahaha. she's only Sec 2 and she already knows about Recessive and Dominant Genes! and this shows that there's nth wrong with marrying a cousin. however abby is still against me and she says she will buy me an ice-cream in return. haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;au revoir=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-111348324935449743?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/111348324935449743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=111348324935449743' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111348324935449743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111348324935449743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/04/misconceptions-about-marriage.html' title='Misconceptions about Marriage'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-111331444683221664</id><published>2005-04-12T22:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-04-12T07:00:46.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>post Sports Fest</title><content type='html'>yesterday was fun. i loved every part of it. especially House Dinner. the food was delicious, the company was great. whee. would love to update in detail, but i'm up to my neck in hw. i slacked the past 4 days away doing absolutely nothing. gah. regret it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; anyway i love the Sec Ones! and i love the Tarbet House Com!=) yay.

he said his house Bayley won Sports Day for the first time in 16years yesterday! wow! he was so proud until i told him that Tarbet won swim carn for the first time in 22years!! haha. we were both wonderfully amazed. and it was on the same day! it should be reported in the Straits Times!! 2 records set in one day. i hope this means the rest of the year is going to totally rock for both our houses!=)&lt;br /&gt; there was so few of us at trng this morn. spent it talking to weishen about Bayley's and Tarbet's incredible wins=) and when we were done we asked man sheng about his love interest. hahaha. he asked me for all the pictures i took with her during swim carn. hmm.. i shld ask for sth in exchange. muahaha.&lt;br /&gt; thank you everyone who congratulated me or Tarbet on our win! it was a Team Effort!! i love Tarbet! esp the core grp of melanie, leeqi, wanting, kalya, pamela and me! hahaha. i still can't get over the fact that Tarbet won with only 6 team swimmers! it's the Tarbet population which helped us and i love them! to pple from other houses who are bitter and disbelieving about our win, please understand that it was not your right to win. just because every other house has more swimmers than us dosen't mean we aren't allowed to win. there are no politically correct answers in competitions. i'm sure all the other swim capts put in a lot of effort, but Melanie and Leeqi worked the hardest to get those outside the swim team to partcipate. Tarbet really deserved to win because we had to overcame so many barriers!! more so than the other houses. so stop complaining and start planning for next yr if u don't want to lose.&lt;br /&gt; the pictures are up already!!!=) spent almost 2 hours loading it one by one onto webshots! there must have been a faster way. or maybe it was my computer's fault=( everyone go take a look! i didn't take with as many pple i had wanted to.=( was too busy. anyway u must go see them!! haha.&lt;br /&gt; btw, who wants to watch Hitch??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-111070037505587935?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/111070037505587935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=111070037505587935' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111070037505587935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/111070037505587935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/03/aftermath-of-swim-carn.html' title='aftermath of swim carn'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-111054534783058054</id><published>2005-03-11T08:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-11T04:49:07.833-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Swim Carn 2005</title><content type='html'>we are the Champions!! we are the Champions!!!

Sec ones!! you guys did the house proud since Tarbet swept all the other houses away for the 25m events and Mass Swim!! you're the greatest batch ever!! and to the house com, Hanis, Tianni, Yunlin etc, you guys rock!! thank you so much for rara-ing the Tarbetians today when i was busy with the swimming events. although we had to go through tons and tons of problems and were really frustrated with one another at times, we still stuck together!! and now we've successfully leapt over the first hurdle!! hehe. we've gotta keep this great great spirit up!! i love Tarbet!!&lt;br /&gt; Swim Carn was great on the whole. although i wasn't that happy with how things were going at first. couldn't find souvenirs, it was raining heavily, and Ms.Ong was taking so long with the swimming formation thing. shall not elaborate further, the point is i was quite stressed. esp when Cheryl Tay told me were first from the heats. that was the first time i realised that we actually have a chance to win this thing!! i had nightmares from the pressure and anticipation when i was sleeping in the library during RS! lucky she didn't tell me yesterday night, if not i wouldn't have been able to sleep. haha.&lt;br /&gt; i screwed up my events today. i'm so slow!! argh. if Tarbet had lost by a few points i think i'd feel like killing myself because i wasted those points. my times are horrible. but who cares. Tarbet WON!! and that's more impt! hah. our novelty events were great!! Wanting, PamC, Kalya, Leeqi, Melanie and I rock!!=) haha, ego. because we took on all the other houses by ourselves! and there were so few of us against the hoards from Richard and Waddle esp. Ms.Goh Lee Kian, Ms.Sally Wong, Mr. Eric Lau, Mr.Lim, Mr.Tan Hock Heng, Mr.Ivan Soh swam for the teachers relay. whee!! they were all so nice today!! Hugged Ms.goh and Sally Wong after we won the TInker Tailor Sailor. haha. ms.goh was cheering so enthusiatically.&lt;br /&gt; the atmosphere was unbelievable when Mr.Joseph Toh was announcing the results! all of the Tarbetians were screaming like crazy i couldn't hardly hear what was being said! haha. just that Tarbet won!!!YAY! and we passed the cup around so everyone could touch it=) i loved how everyone was just cheering happily away and clicking away like mad on the cameras! hopefully we'll be in the yearbook!=) i got tons of pictures of everyone! took with the Sec ones! whee... yah, will upload it very very soon. i have tons to say. we did so many things!!

Valentine Day is more meaningful this year because i had so many people whom i wanted to write to thank them for being there for me! i wrote to Cheryl Tay, Abby, Grace Chan and my room mate Zhuang Jing really heartfelt messages! and there are so many others whom i wanted to write to.. see how much i've changed? last year i wouldn't have thought about all the pple who mean so much to me. yup. to all my friends and family and juniors, Happy Valentines' Day! i really love you all!=)&lt;br /&gt; thanks Ally for the lollipop and your note!

(just read yunlin's blog. she thinks it's weird!! cannot, i must clear her doubts) sorry to my fellow members who are waiting for the offical launch of FAN. it's not that i'm busy now, just that i don't know where to start!! and when i'm not very sure how to start, i simply just let the work pile up. argh. that's the problem with me. i'm always like that, esp with sch work. ok. my CNY resolution is to never procratinate, if not i'll keep missing deadlines and other opportunities.&lt;br /&gt; CNY is coming!! yes!! my first CNY without my family, but i think it's going to be great. maybe less hongbaos and stuff because i don't plan to visit too many relatives but i get so much more time to myself now! every year, CNY day 1 usually starts out with shouts and arguments in the house because my dad will start insulting all my clothes. then after that he'll take his time to get ready although we already made arrangements to meet people at specific times. he spoils all my plans and it's like my mum has to call everyone and tell them we won't be coming. stuff like that. so irritating. so now i can leave the house went i want to and dress the way i like and eat whatever i want w/o havings comments come my way=)&lt;br /&gt; and there's no trng until Saturday!! sounds great, except that i am going to get very very fat. the 2nd problem with me now is that i'm starting to get bored/sick of trng. it ruins my social life and i nvr get enough sleep! argh. my timings are now so slow i can't even see why i'm still trng! oh yah, to lose weight. sigh. i need to trng to sustain my ice-cream/chocolate/cookies/fried food/cakes/cheese/brownie diet. hrmph. i want to be like sophie lim!! how come she can be so skinny in spite of all the unhealthy food she eats?=( not fair.&lt;br /&gt; i can't wait for reunion dinner!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9670587-110767112705772703?l=speedbel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/feeds/110767112705772703/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9670587&amp;postID=110767112705772703' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/110767112705772703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9670587/posts/default/110767112705772703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://speedbel.blogspot.com/2005/02/fan-again.html' title='FAN again'/><author><name>belda=)</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066266188153610914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9670587.post-110752759024007277</id><published>2005-02-04T22:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-04T06:37:07.500-08:00</updated><title type='text'>FAN</title><content type='html'>the food appreciation club is now the food appreciation network. because it shouldn't give the impression that it's a CCA but rather it is more of a social network of like-minded and people who are passionate about the greatest things in life! i proposed my idea to Ms.Mariette Ong, Mrs.Chew Wai Lee, and Mr.Winston Hodge (RJC principal) today. they all think it's a really innovative idea and ms.ong and mrs.chew were dying to join! haha, so now they are official members too! but mr.hodge didn't ask to join. haha. anyway ms.ong asked me to hand in a former proposal with all the objectives and action plans in writing. i'm going to do it by monday=)&lt;br /&gt;the RJC options talk today was really fun! it exceeded the expected end time by like 45min but i loved it because there was food!! i love winston hodge mans! he's nice and funky, and best of all he knows the way to win a girl's heart!! hahaha. i ate 2 four leaves buns and one packet of Justea! yummy.. they were the really nice buns ok!=) the first part of the talk was quite boring but the 2nd part was fun. RJ teachers are nice to talk to and i've already decided on the courses i want to take in RJC. haha, but i may change my mind.&lt;br /&gt;house pract tmr!! whee.. hopefully there's time for combined house cheering. please let everything go well.&lt;br /&gt;oh, and Student's Leaders Network and House Captains investiture today was nice and smooth, although i almost missed it. i was supposed to reach sch before 7am to rehearse but i waited 25min for 156!!! i was ready to blow! i thought i was going to be late for sch lor. and the second the stupid bus driver stopped the stupid bus, i rushed down and ran all the way to sch from the main road. i was panting and panting, but at least i made it at 7.22am. everyone was amazed. but the good thing was that i missed the spot check=) if not i would have been booked for no name tag. yeah, so there was a silver lining. i love my badges! red is nice and striking. hongyi commented that she could see it shining from the other end of the corridor. muahaha. u can't get the same effect with green or blue! and when i told ms.ong about the food appreciators badge, she was like, "Wah, you'll have so many!

no school, no training, no french!! i hung around at my aunt's condo all day lazing around!! even though i still have tons of hw left, i felt really carefree=) haha. hari raya being on a Friday gave me so much more time to do what i wanted. siqian, annalyn, yunlin, tianni and i went out for dinner at Cafe Cartel on Thursday night and ate the tantalising seafood combo. it was defintely worth it mans. huge serving and free flow of french bread!! omg=) everyone should go try and you'll love it. on second thought, don't go try. i don't want you competing with me for table space. hehe. and speaking of food, Abby and i have founded The Food Appreciators Club! we're co-founders! muahaha. which means that anyone who joins can indulge in culinary delights because i know where the best food are!! my aunt says i'm way too like my father. we live to eat while other pple eat to live. get it? heh. hmm, we'll be planning more outings i suppose, and all members of this exclusive club will of course be be given opportunities to share their own dining/cooking experiences! it's going to be so fun!! guess what my mum said when she saw my nick on Msn? she was like "what's the food appreciators club? is it a new CCA?" hahaha. and when i told her about what we do she went "hahaha.

Australia did sth to me. i had too much cake, ice-cream, pies, cocktails, steaks etc last december. haha. i'm going to Cafe Cartel tmr night!!!=) for the food conoisseurs gathering with Abby, Annalyn, Yunlin, Tianni and Siqian!! actually abby, siqian and i are the main foodies.&lt;br /&gt;but who cares? food is the essence of life, they'll see what we mean one day=) anyone else interested in joining the club? membership is free as long as u have a love for an exquisite taste for food. we're going to eat the 5pple combo meal since the portions are so huge. and there's free flow of French Bread=) siqian's ex-coach is the one guy who set up Cafe Cartel in Bishan. must thank him for helping us to reserve a table.
