Hiies people!
this is my compilation of all the things I did this past few days...

- Got new sandels & shoes!
- Washed my bags, pencil case, anything related to school..
- X'mas celebrations at my cousins'..played a game know as pin the star on top of the tree, or get slaughtered and DIE
- X'mas musical at mich's church: Re-met Melody and Caleb..and had tons and tons of fun..

Anyway..
School's starting again!

Here's my last minute notes to all out there:

1) Have you done ALL your homework?
2) Have you got new school stuff?
3) Have you got acquainted with all your old buddies?
4) Have you remembered how to add 1+1?
5) Have you started changing sleeping patterns to suit 5am?
6) Have you started to chiong?
7) Have you saved enough money to last you through the 1st week?
8) Have you got your new timetables?
9) Have you got your new class?
10) Have you cleared your room?

If the answers to the above are yes...clap yourself on the back and say ' ALL READY!!!' :D:D

Poem time: School's IN
It's that time of the year again
Seeing people rushing in flurry
Seeing teachers become banes
Seeing children transform to bunnies

First came Holidays
Next came Christmas
Then came New Year...
Last came the horrible
Terrible School

You see teachers and you forget to bow
You see friends and forget to brawl
You see the principal and forget to say "xcuse"
That's what everyone expects on the first day of school!

Whoots...I love Japan!
Ok, in brief, I left Singapore on the 17th Dec afternoon, and returned at 2 am on the 22nd! The winter in Japan had just started and therefore the average temperature per day was 0°C - 10°C...brr...cold...

I visited:
-Big Guan Yin temple in Japan
-Tokyo Disneyland
-Hot springs
-Mount Fuji
-Crystal Palace Factory
etc. etc.

1st day(coz 17th dun count):18th Dec
1st stop: Narita Excel Tokyu, our hotel
Today we took the bus all the way to the Mount Fuji, but first sitting on a ferry and passing the hot springs nearby for some black eggs... you can literally see the smoke popping out!

Hahhas..can see me? i look nerd in my winter coat lar..

OK..then we go up to Mount Fuji and play snow...

Yepps..the day ended with us going up to a japanese hotel with a in-built public hot spring..it was nice.. and hot, of course :D

2nd Day:19th Dec: took the bullet train..went shopping and see Guan Yin temple

Day 3: 20th Dec: Tokyo Disneyland

I had a blast of a time there :D

terrific rides..etc..etc

this one is my favourite shot-->

Ok..Next: Day 4, oso counted as my last day..

-Went back to Narita Tokyo..took bus all the way to Aeon Shopping Mall

-Went there for further shopping..

erm.. here's the catch.

-We oso went there to play the arcade..

Got some rather big prizes too..

-Although we could have played it here in singapore lar.. :D

Ok..so we checked out of the hotel at 3 pm, then made our way to the Narita Airport.

the queue there was super duply long. Immigration took the better part of 2 hours.

So we finally made it through at 5 pm.

the boarding time was 5.30 pm, so we walked and walked.

and I found an internet access, logged to edulearn, and realised that results would be out the following day. I nearly screamed YiPPeE! hahas..ok.

the flight was kindof fun lor..i saw nice night view of both tokyo and singapore..turbulance like siao.. whole aircraft jiggled all through, even during dinner..(by jiggled, it means enough for seat belt to cut your skin hor)

Then i fell asleep and woke up at 1 pm, got ready for the "nose dive" down..(nose dive coz it was really really strong wind and only way down was nose down)
Took a Maxi-Taxi home, 8 seater! :D
Fell asleep and blah blah..ended up blogging..

That's all for my Japan trip.. really hope to go again!

It's been nearly a week since i last blogged and i just want to say this: I have successfully completed my holiday homework (save the summary of my composition, but that is another story.) and scheduled my dental appointment. it's tmr dudes :D

yippee..but not so fast wor..
Me, hester and xiu han still have a digital media project to complete and it's giving me a headache. I am supposed to do a project on something I don't understand. I hope I don't have to continue with the project next year!

About the project:
Hardly anything done

Due in January

Xiu Han is uncontactable, so can't do much...
I going off nxt wk...
Hester going to Malaysia in the last week

Which means: we are so dead and that this week is pia-ing time
AHHH

okok..cool it.
On a better note, I got the perfect books at the library yesterday!
Lurlene McDaniel's books...2 of them!!! :D
->Garden of Angels
->Telling Christina Goodbye
Lurlene is a great author..you must look out for her books.

I took the night yesterday to read both books...and ended up hugging my pillow and crying.
You people know me...I don't cry for no reason...
But this book is like so so so darn touching...
And very very very engaging...

I was obliged to read it till the end. non-stop. that's what i call a GREAT book.
It made me realise how much I love this world and how would it change w/o me and w/o the people who care and love me...

If there was one thing i want to do again, it is to read Telling Christina Goodbye again and live the life of that world, of that girl. As tragic an ending she had, she was the best girl, the thoughtful one..the greatest one..

Indeed, life is precious..we must treasure it to the fullest..you never know when the end is coming.. :'(

Today's special will be one on the effects of Build-a-bear program that's at ViVo City. which my sis (in plural) went to and made bears which they brought home.

Build-a-bear
bears for sale
bears for sale
great big bears
teeny-weeny bears

bears with voices
bears without
bears with hearts
bears without

Heartfelt bears are what we have..
A bear to bring home
A bear with pair
A bear with clothes and frilly dress

That's what my sis brought home.

As I walked home from school.
this is the sight that greeted.
dozens of children
carrying bears

bears which talk
bears which said
" let's play, let's play
All around the bushes"
"let's go Let's GO!!
go home go home!"

So let's build a bear!

stuff the fluff
pull the string
squash the sound
squash the heart
zip the back
turn around

choose your shirt
choose your shorts
choose your socks
choose your shoes
choose your hat
choose your glasses
Put them on!

yippee yippee doodle
teedeetadeedum
twirl the princess
twirl the prince
twirl them off
or let them fall!
