I'll be gone from Fri to Sun.
Pray for me.
Meanwhile, keep tagging. (:

Treetop Walk

I'm not crazy to wake up in the morning to go for the treetop walk at Macritchie.

AND DIE. I was late. My mommy forgot to wake me up. And my wonderful brother just had to wake me up. POKE.
Thank goodness Elvie's mom was nice enough to send us.

The walk was fun la. Except for the 'climb the steep hill' part.
To think I believed Edwin (lesson learnt: NEVER BELIEVE EDWIN) that we had to belay across the bridge. >.<

Edwin: Hansel NEVER LIES.
(8 hours later)
Nat: Edwin ALWAYS LIES.
Elvie: Then that means Hansel lies? Because a liar just said that Hansel NEVER LIES.

I hate to admit this, but sometimes guys are just better than girls. Don't ask why, it's going to be a long list.
Probably going to see me blog about this some time soon. Depends on my mood.


Super long bridge. I think I nearly got a headache due to altitude sickness. But it was fun while it lasted.


Edwin says you can never take the real depth of an object. True, but I tried anyway.


This is what happens when guys are slower than girls.


Just random.


According to Hansel, the steps are screwed, you have to step onto flat ground after taking three steps down.
BEATS HAVING TO CLIMB UP STAIRS ANY TIME.


WAH. Macritchie is DANGEROUS.


Elvie says that they look like they were holding hands in this picture... =P


Took around 2 hours, I think. My sense of time is really bad. Which kind of explains why I'm late half the time.

Went to some prata shop after that. Had Egg Prata (:

Not enough?? Elvie and I went to Ikea for meatballs later, and we bought Hotdogs, Icecream and we crashed Bernie's house. Ate dinner there, and came back home.

This is how NUT spent her Vesak Day.



WHY? Why does she always look away??

Humanities Conference

My school organised and held a Humanities Conference today.

Nine schools came over, and one school pissed me off quite badly.
SJI boys behaved the worst, they even made their teacher throw their plates away for them. A first I've seen in my entire life.
You're representing your school, stepping into foreign grounds, shouldn't you have at least shown a little respect to the teachers and students in SMSS?


To the rest! Thanks for playing your part! Couldn't have done it without you.

Youth.sg Bloggers' Gathering

Had real fun yesterday, until I had a little migraine. But oh well, fun nonetheless!
Bloggers with TOTALLY DIFFERENT personalities came together, and rocked the house down.

I'll let pictures do the talking! And you'll be able to see which dress I bought!


JOYCE!


MARILYN <3




JIAYI!


Zelia. Marilyn. Otaku.









Issac and Nut!


Omg. Free lessons from NUT.


Getting HIGH & SEXY.


Frozenmama, Joyce, Grace, Nut.

New Dress

Don't we all know it's Chinese Os tomorrow, and we should be all mugging away, squeezing endless vocabulary into that little brain of ours.

Decided to buy a dress! Since I've not been on a shopping trip in the longest time ever. I told my mommy that I wanted to get a hair cut, in th end, I used the money to get myself a new dress. I didn't lie, I simply changed my mind at the last minute.

AND NO, STOP WORRYING, MY HAIR IS STILL INTACT (:


You'd be surprised. This Fashion is actually one of my all time favourite shops. They have good and CHEAP clothing there. You just have to open your eyes, and spot the non-ahlian clothing.

I need to get rid of this look


Here's some of the dresses I tried on.

1) Nice Material Floral Dress


2) Brown Squared Dress


3) Red Striped Dress


4) Blue Striped Dress


5) Black Tube Dress

Whoops, looks like I forgot to remove my bra strap for this one. =P


Had a REALLY tough time deciding, I bought ONE DRESS EVENTUALLY.
You'll see which one tomorrow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIE!
You're the bestest bestie (:

Seriously la. I don't want to cut my hair. My mom reckons I should get a haircut.
HOW?? Have to listen lor.

This will be the first time ever you're going to hear me say this: I WANT TO KEEP MY HAIR LONG.

You're going to see me in ugly short hair tomorrow people ):

Okay, I know who's the winner for the Youth.sg Grand Finals already.

I'm was rooting for Uncle Sha or soupcanfairy to win ):

Now, my brother doesn't get a present. Neither can this damn family pay their debts.
It's time to sell that organ in my house.

Kudos too everyone anyway! I made new friends this entire season.
Will post more pictures up about the Bloggers' gathering on Monday!
(Which will be after my Chinese Os.)
See you there JOYCE and JIAYI! If you babes are reading this la! haha.


祝我好运！
我至少一定要拿到一个B4！

Voting Is OVER

Finally, the time I've been waiting for is here.
VOTING PERIOD IS OVER.

Thanks everyone for helping me.
Especially Tabitha, Judith, Glen, Errol.
And all St. Margaret's girls! You guys really rock la!
Really appreciate it.

This time, rallying wasn't as crazy, spent most of the time studying for my Mid-years, which didn't turn out as well as I expected. I'll just have to put in that much more effort.

Thanks again to everyone for casting that vote!
I totally owe it to you if I make it to the top 10, and I get to see the MTV VJs from MTV Asia. Ultimate coolness.
Click here to read the post.

If I win, I"ll be shocked.

Cross Country

Cross Country today, wasn't too bad. Thank goodness it didn't rain. If not I'll just pretend to fall just right before the muddy area! (: And... Get carried back on a stretcher by the Red Cross-ers.

Attendance for 4e6 was 6/35 today.
Guess most of them had sore eyes, the virus has been going around this entire week, which caused our class to end up with less than 20 people attending lessons yesterday.

Think about 180 people ran for our level only. Which is why I'm not shocked that I got 47th position even though I walked more than 75% the entire distance.

On a very much lighter note, Sec 2s did Tolley proud today! (: They were crowned best house for the sec 2 level!
We'll get that challenge trophy one day!

Looks like only if a house captain wins a medal for cross-country, then they will "win the hearts" of the house members.
What dingy thinking.
No doubt I didn't win last year or this year, but as long as I managed to "win the heart" of at least ONE TOLLEY MEMBER. I've done my job.

Headed down to Upper Thomson Road for some prata to satisfy my sudden craving for something spicy.

Afterwhich, I approached Holy Spirit Church. I had a good time with God, just speaking to him. Just realised that he hasn't really been a part of my life for the past few months, and as YISS draws near, I hope to translate to my group members how GREAT our GOD is.
I need to start with myself.

Love My Fringe

HURRY.

Catch me for my illegal fringe.
Because it's covering my face, I am a poser.
I give love school a bad name.

Catch me for my coloured ear studs.
Because I like colour on my ears, I am a bimbo.

Catch me for blogging about rules.
Because I blog, I get everyone to think like me. I am influential.

Catch me for everything.
Might as well catch me for not wearing a bra to sleep.
Because I'll influence everyone to act like bimbos and posers, and not wear bras to sleep.

Ya right.

American Idol Grand Finals

I managed to catch the American Idol Finals, only because i didn't wake up in time for my facilitator's training. Was feeling a little woozy after consuming some flu medication. Good thing anyway, have not been sleeping too well these days.

Back to my point.... I caught the finals, and in my opinion, it wasn't the most fantastic finals I've seen. I thought that Jordin showed a little nerves. And Blake could have held in his 'jumpiness' for the last song.
Kudos to them for making it to the finals! You guys have made my Wednesdays so much better.

And American Idol is such an emotional show, don't you agree?
When someone you've been rooting for the entire leaves, you feel as though something is tugging at your heart. More American Idol "crazy" people would probably feel as though the world came crashing on them. But hey, they live half way across the world from us.

The disappointment soon disappeared after Daughtry came on.. With HOME. (:
-heart melts.

Tattoos Anyone?

Anyone thinking of getting a tattoo?

Well, here's your chance. My friend, Shiv, is a tattoo artist. Just started not too long ago.

If you would like to see some of his works, please visit his friendster account.

Or you could call him at 92952177.


Alternatively, you could get more details from me! Thanks (:

Please la. MODERATE MODERATE. I need to pass.

F-it. I got 16 points.

Considering that the level didn't do too well, I should be happy with myself.

几乎到路的终点了。

I'm going to blog in chinese luh!

我开始喜欢华文课了！
老师讲的笑话。。。我终于明白了！

但，下个星期一后，我们再也没有华文课了。。。 ）：
除非我们这次的中年‘O‘水准会考拿到个D7！

只有接近这条路的终点时，我们才开始珍惜我们所有的东西。
真奇怪。

Boys Suck!

Need to know why BOYS SUCK? Here's why.You didn't even need to ask why in the first place, it's all so common sensical!
Now now, if you're a man, don't feel offended. I'm talking about BOYS.

Thanks Isabelle, for the pretty image.

Oh, and by the way, visit this blog ---> Rate Your Students (Click Luh!)
It's really cool. Gives you a little insight on what to do and what not to do if you want to suck up to that ass which happens to belong to your teacher.

TRUTH & RUMOUR = ???

Read this on the youth.sg blog, and decided to take a look for myself.

TRUTH & RUMOR = ???????

Apropos to the equation above, I give you the answer: TRUEMORS.


Sounds exciting eh?? Wait till you go see it.........


I quote Alvin from the post found on youth.sg blog.

A guy named Guy Kawasaki launched a new website call TRUEMORS.

Truemors is a RUMOR reporting site. Users text, email or call in a rumor and other users vote on it. Popular rumors make it to the home page.

I would think that the concept has a lot of potential, but the way it is being run now - it seems more like a chatroom for people to post all sort of nonsensical remarks.

What do you think of it?? I think it's basically nonsense.

If people were to use it wisely, I think it would be a great form of media, and a great site for TRUE RUMOURS to be made known to the world.

The best truemor I've read the entire day would have to be "Did you know that Nathalie is a math genius?"

Anyway, do go take a look, the most popular truemors make it to the front page! But don't vote, a complete waste of time in my opinion. Besides, what you see there is all nonsense.

I'm officially hooked onto The Sims2.

Anyway...

CONGRATS TO DOMINIC AND DAPHNE ON THIS SPECIAL DAY.
You guys are finally married! (:
And sorry I couldn't make it.


ENJOY (:

Vote For Nathalie B12!

DID YOU KNOW THAT ST PATRICK'S SCHOOL IS SO FAR FROM MY HOUSE?

It's a one hour plus plus bus ride.
Someone, please accompany me?

Anyway, just as I promised, here's the solution to the Math problem I posted yesterday. If you've not visited my site yesterday and wish to attempt the question before looking at the solution, here's the question again.

In the diagram above, ABCD is a square. The points A, B and G are collinear. The line segments AC and DG intersect at E, and the line segments DG and BC intersect at F. Suppose that DE = 15cm, EF = 9cm, and FG = xcm. Find the value of x.


Solution: (I edited it a bit. I didn't understand the solution given by the book. By the way, if you're wondering how long I took to solve this. I took a whole 10 minutes to do it.)

OMG! BLOGGER IS FINALLY OKAY (:

Just a little update on how much I've been sleeping lately.

Sunday 4.45pm - Monday 6.30am.
Monday 6pm - Tuesday 6.30am.
Tuesday 3.45pm - Wed 2.35am.
Wed 5.30am - Wed 11.40am (yeah, not too long ago)

So you want to be in my shoes?? Having all the sleep in the world.
I've clocked a total of 42 hours and 45 minutes of sleep for the past 3 and a half days (84 hours)
IF my mathematical intelligence proves me right, I have slept around 53.3% (correct to 3 significant figures) of my time away.

Welcome to the life of a sick person.


Oh, by the way. I've collected my Mathematical Olympiad Ten Year Series, it's like the most amazing thing EVER. Here's a sample question. Okay, if you don't like math, pretend you never read this.

In the diagram below, ABCD is a square. The points A, B and G are collinear. The line segments AC and DG intersect at E, and the line segments DG and BC intersect at F. Suppose that DE = 15cm, EF = 9cm, and FG = xcm. Find the value of x. (Not drawn to scale. Nothing in math is ever drawn to scale. Other than geometrical transformations or constructions of course.) Tag the answer on my board if you know! I'll give you the solution tomorrow.
If you can see the answer, you've seen something many people can't see.

Anyway, here's a little treat for you. Don't think you've heard this on the radio for a REALLY LONG time.
Here's Live Like You Were Dying with Tim McGraw.

It's 5.41am in the morning.

I don't feel like going to school.
I've been sick this entire week.
The headache's not going away.
I constantly feel nauseous.

CRAPPP LA.

I just want to sit down & cry.

Don't tell anyone I got a C6 for chinese... SHHH.
50.3/100.

Chinese Intensive Is Killing Me

Blogger's a little screwed.
And I'm a little sick.

Been sleeping since god knows when, and just woke up (not too long ago) to have a couple of slices of pizza for lunch, dinner and supper all combined together. =D


Anyway, while most of the secondary school students in Singapore are rejoicing because "THE EXAMS ARE OVER!!", we the graduating students of St. Margaret's Secondary School are working our asses off. It's marking day today, yet we still have to return to school for 6 hours of Chinese lessons.
5 and a half hours of chinese a day. 5 days a week. For two weeks.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DRIVEN UP THE WALL I TELL YOU!

My Chinese teacher was trying to be funny today. Failed attempt imo.
＂我允许你们讲华语.但是要用华文来讲.＂
＂这几天要一直不停的看，读，写，讲华文．如果要讲废话，也要用华文来讲．＂

我的天啊！

今天的功课还蛮多啊！　）：

Anyway, I think:
其实，以前的学生，功课量多了一点，他们也不敢发牢骚。难道我们变了这么多吗？难道今天的学生对老师的尊严都失去了吗？我们要知道老师们不是雇佣。他们不是当我们不满意的时候才投诉抱怨。

All right, shan't kill you with anymore Chinese.

P.S. I don't feel like going to school tomorrow, because I've yet to complete any of my homework. It's alot leh!
On the other hand, I want to go, because our Mid-year exam scripts are going to be returned to us, only for our viewing pleasure.

For the sudden out break yesterday, I apologise.
Not to the judge. But to my readers.

I could say that "I wish I didn't say that" or "I take those words back". But I won't.
What's done's done. I'm going to smile because it happened.

And to all the recent spammers. Thank you for your emotion-led comments. If you hadn't thought that I was actually A COMPETITOR (i.e. I actually am compeition), you wouldn't have tried to flame me.
And for that... Thank You.



On a very much lighter note, the mid-year examinations are over. However, I still met Daryl to study for a little.
If you're thinking I'm mad. No, I'm not.

Excellence is in proportion to the amount of effort you put in.
I'm going to get my 6 points. And I'm going to CJC.


Lessons learnt this week.
1. No one EVER believes a triple-science student when they say they screwed up a particular paper (e.g. Amath).
2. If your heart tells you something, but your mind says another. Follow your heart.
3. Simple blogskins apparently turn DJs off.
4. I hate Shan Wee. I love Dan and Young (Perfect 10).
5. I'm never going to join an online BLOGGING competition ever again. And even if I do, I swear I'll never make it top few. I have no reason to put my blog up for JUDGEMENT.

By the way. Studying rocks.
P.S. I PROBABLY am a mugger. If you think it's uncool to be smart. I think you should really check the dictionary for the definition of 'uncool'.
Oh yes, and if you don't know how to use the dictionary, I'll tell you the definition.
UNCOOL = STUPID = NOT SMART = OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT I AM.

Tell me, who on this fucking earth likes to be judged. Definitely not me.

Maybe I should just give up on the idea of winning this damn thing.
Because my post was fucking screwed. And it was fucking boring.

And sorry if you think the blogskin is boring.
I kind of like it. That's why it's there.
You know, one day, I swear I'll be much greater than who you are now.

I'm back again! Vote For ME! B12

Perfect 10

Haven't you realised there's a conspiracy going on with all the catholic schools in Singapore?
I tuned in to Perfect 10 for Muttons in the evening, Say It With Music, and there were many dedications to and from SJI, IJTP, KC, SJC.

WAHH. I wonder why.

Anyway, here's to everyone taking the exams!
All the best!
And don't worry. Not aceing a paper won't kill you.


WHOO. I have the secret desire to be on 'Control' on Perfect 10.
Don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

Haha, but it sucks to sms with that phone.

Enjoy your new phone Keith!
Now you know who got the new phone.

Damn, and my Nokia 5300 is still with the Nokia Care Centre, because the LCD screen ran out of stock.
I'm stuck with some rubbish phone.

It's 13 more days. I can taste it.


AND SPIDERMAN THREE IS OUT TOO! (:
(The soundtrack ROCKS. Song is found in the next post.)

P.S. Forgive me. All this excitement buildup has caused an over secretion of adrenaline. I think I need to breathe.

SWIMFAN

SHIT MAN. This has got to be the nicest movie with Swimming involved.

And know what? Madison Bell (Erika Christensen) in the movie deserves to DIE.
She seduced Ben (Jesse Bradford), and what's worse... She nearly killed his girlfriend!

Oh man, I'm so affected.
And by the way, I think guys with the name Jesse are cute.


Suddenly, I want to feel the water just flowing through my body again.
