Okay! So today was my Geog common test!! Managed to answer most of the questions. Don't think I'll fail. I studied for this!! Today was rather boring again. Hung out with Maurice and Don after school at the fitness area. MAURICE IS SO FIT!!
And had drama today. Played some games. Hehe... Can use them for cell group!! Not really fun because mistakes were made yeah. Watched the basketball team have their practice... I... Miss... BASKETBALL! But they'd never let a girl on the team... OH WELLS!
Tomorrow is Exercise Time. Running 2km! I CAN HANDLE IT! Just keep my pace, and I'll be fine! Still in the top 3!! WHOO! ^^ Bought my house T-shirt today too! Was hoping to get into green house but I got into blue... I'm in the same house as Crystal, Kristi, Eugene, Amirul, Xu Hao, Naufal and Jia Lin! We're the only house in the class with equal amounts of girls and boys! HAHA!
The shirt cost $6.50 and it's quite pretty-pretty... ^^

240208 - Passerby
Passerby is a guy who's been tagging on Yuan Qi and Shannon's blog as of late. He means no harm, I can see that. But why is it that his attitude reminds me of someone? He has already assured all of us that we do not know him. I am very, very sure I don't know him either. But it's so familiar, it's scary. It's a very old feeling. The way he talks. The way he shoots back comments at other people. How he strangely seems to be at peace but yet, sometime his comments might not seem that way. His comments make it seem like he's judging us. But also, because we deserve to be judged.
I think he's a christian? I'm not sure. Usually, when people judge me, I get angry. But when this passerby guy judges us, I can't help but agree with him. When I wrote that, Xu Hao used some vulgarities against me because of it. Because passerby, at first, seemed to be against all of us. Yuan Qi, Shannon, Joyce. And I was the first to say I agree with him. Xu Hao got a little pissed off. I suppose he thought I was 'betraying' him and the other girls?
What I relief I got when Shannon and Yuan Qi seemed to have gotten on better terms with him. But I really can't help but think I know his attitude from somewhere. It reminded me a bit of Fong's attitude. The way he had an answer for everything. Except, Passerby isn't insulting or as harsh as Fong. It's been driving me crazy! I've often said this but: It's like something from years ago have come back.
It's so... familiar... So scary. Just who is Passerby? I'll just get this through again. I don't know him. But I do wanna know his name. Gonna check with some friends of mine if they've heard that name before. Shannon says he might be linked to Min Jei. But he assured us he is not. And one can't help but wonder why we trust him...

230208 - Tired for No Reason. Sick Because...
So frickin' tired... Not now, I mean. When I was in church. As we got the seats and sat down, I was so tired. Not tired in the fact that I wanted to sleep. I mean physically tired. So sore and... URGH! I was draggy... sulking and not enthusiasted at all. I was so tired I wanted to cry, literally. At times, I found myself biting my lip to stop myself from crying. I was just so darn tired!! URGH! But that all changed when Rev. Dr. Ulf Ekam came to the stage.
He came to preach to us today. And all I can say is: Wow... It was incredible! REALLY! He preached about Fear. And it was the devil who gave out these fears. And it reminded me about my own fear of sleeping. Consecutively for... I don't how long, I've been having nightmares every night. Terrible nightmares. That's why I always get ready a cup of something liquid beside my bed so that when I wake up from my nightmare, I can drink it and go back to sleep. Only to face yet another nightmare.
And he made the session very humorous by telling us his own past experiences! I laughed till my stomach hurt! During the altar call, I had this urge to go down the steps and stand in the front again. And I was going to. Just so happen my brother wanted to go too and Lokies went with him.
I felt so refreshed, so happy. And then, the tiredness returned. I wanted to cry my eyes out! I was hurting everywhere! I had no energy to get up and go! And it showed!! Several people asked me why I LOOKED so tired. Man... did it really show that much?! I didn't even go for the overnight prayer meeting, I got a decent amount of sleep but I was almost as tired as the people who DID go for the overnight prayer meeting! But I wanted to stay for the prayer meeting after service. After half-an-hour through the prayer meeting, I finally knew why I was so tired.
I was (or still am) sick! My asthma! I don't even know what triggered it! I mean, I had all the "symptons" I know of asthma. Difficulty breathing, feeling of something stuck in your throat and feeling that each intake of oxygen did not fill the lungs. So, since there was no LOGICAL explaination, I BLAME IT ON THE DEVIL!! So, I'm sick because the devil cannot stand to see me healthy and happy!
I went home. Took a puff from the inhaler which I had carelessly left at home. Got to blogging. Will be 'puffing' again at 12. Every 4 hours again... *Sigh*

230208 - 6Fians, better get ready for a partay!
Hey y'all! Had a prayer meeting on Thursday. Missed out on a overnight prayer meeting last night... Mom said no... Well... Later, Ayron and I are gonna have lunch with Kelvin. I think he wants to talk to us?
Then we'll go on to church. And have service. Oh yeah, had a cool dream last night. Actually, I had 2 dreams. First one was a nightmare. And so, I woke up in the middle of the night. Went back to sleep. Had another dream. I was on a school excursion. And I saw all my friends!! I mean, PRIMARY school friends! Hidayat, Hakim, Wei Yin. And Ryan! Man, I miss that little cunning cockroach!
They were all in their school uniforms and we were in a basement?! Haha! We were all smiling and all! It just really reminded me how different they are from my class now. Man... What a difference! Miss them so much! Most probably will be wanting to hold a gathering during the March Holidays so we can all meet up again!! ^^

200208
I love chinese. I love chinese. I love chinese. I love chinese. It's awesome. It's amazing. I don't mind the not so ridiculous amounts of homework we are given. I love the teacher who NEVER, ABSOLUTELY NEVER yells or screams at us. I just simply LOVE the teacher yelling at me to read the words. I absolutely LOVE the so many chinese words which I can understand so well. Oh yeah... I LOVE chinese alright...

200208 -
I absolutely LOVE Exercise Time. Managed to keep my pace today and Mr Sashi suggested I join Floorball! Another teacher suggested I join Boys Brigade... He forgot it was for boys only... HELLO?! BOYS Brigade?! Anyways, might be considering to join either NCC or Floorball! ^^
We didn't do much today. Wrote a 596 word Compo... Too much... Way too much... We were only required to write 250... Really didn't do much today... BORED! And mom is FORCING me to change my bed (2 mattresses on the floor) but I don't want to!! My 2 mattresses are soooo comfy!!! I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE!! THIS IS UNFAIR!!

190208 - Random Random Random
Alright. Today, we started off the day with CHINESE! Where it was then my turn to go out in front of the class to introduce myself. As if my classmates don't know me already!!! Then Mdm Wang'd give me a question. My question was: What if you studied very hard, had tutors (as if), stayed back after school to study even more. But then, when the exams came, you did very badly. How would you feel?
Look, I can answer it. Just not in chinese! So in the end, I just said: "Hui hen shang xin lor..." which just simply means: "Will be very sad LOR..." I wanted to say a lot more but I just couldn't, in chinese. Darn it. Oh wells. Then Math... Very, very boring. Mr Hoon is away for... something. I don't know what. And this teacher Ms Wong is here to take over. Her teaching isn't very clear but fortunately, I can understand it...
Her teaching is that of a normal teacher. No gimmicks, nothing. Which just makes it a very "normal" aka "a bit boring" class. I dread Math class now. Can't wait for Mr Hoon to get back!!
Then had RECESS! Spent it in class again... Then Art. Didn't do art but Mr Zaini told us about this art activity called Save the Earth. It'd be done with some artistic students painting the school walls with teachers. Then science. Didn't do much. Just studied with a test and all.
Then Geography! YEEHA! Coloured some maps, learned about deserts and grasslands. Didn't play games today, unfortunately. But we watched a 9 min+ video. It was awesome! But the middle part showed us the effects of Global Warming. I didn't think it was that bad... It was terrible! It was frightening! First you see all the ice and then you see it melting away!! Terrifying! And then I felt a pang of guilt when I saw the polar bears struggling and all...
Then had drama. Not a very interesting but it is my CCA. Did some note writings and all about this Drama Festival. Might be wanting to go to NCC. But I think it clashes with church. Shall have to confirm with Mr Wong.

170208 - Call Me Fair-Weathered
I am no longer confused or unsure!! BUT I AM ONCE AGAIN CONFIDENT AND BRAVE! CONFIDENT AND SURE OF MYSELF! WHOOOOO!!! I shan't go into details what exactly changed my mind but... URGH!! I will no longer be confused. I will no longer be unsure. I'm a fair-weathered friend, you may say. I am. XD BUT! I don't care! Because as long as I'm confident and sure of myself, nothing you do will hurt me anymore! I am confident that I can take whatever you throw at me! BRING IT ON! XD

170208 - Confused and Unsure
Feeling lousy isn't helping me right now... I don't even know why I'm blogging. I just feel the need to. Went for service. And for cell group. Then had dinner. Then took a bus home. Debated with Ayron on the bus. Counselled to by Lokies. And... Just when I got my confidence up, it disappeared just as easily as it did tonight. It's not their fault, really, it's not.
You realise my MSN name is "Belle's Status: Confused and Unsure" and it has been like that for the past week. This morning, I felt so much more better. I changed it to "Belle's Status: Confident and Brave!". But when I got to talking again, that confidence, that boldness just disappeared again. So I figured that if I stop talking, the unsureness will go away. But the moment I start talking, I becomem confused and unsure again.
Back when I was a little girl. Quiet and shy... Always getting 'A's for her exams. That little girl is someone I vowed never to become again. Well, the 'A's for exams part, I can handle. But being quiet and shy... Being confused and unsure. Doing what I was told because I didn't know my wants yet. I hate that little girl. I changed. For the better or for worse, I'll never know. But I do know something. I'm slowly changing back into her. I'm confused and unsure yet again... And it's all my fault...

150208 - Civil Defence Day
Today is Civil Defence Day!! WHOO! We began the day with a member from the scouts, telling us about Social Defence. It was pretty cool. Seeing a representative from each Uniform Group on stage. Band, Boys Brigade, NPCC, NCC, St Johns, Scouts and Girl Guide.
It really made me want to rise up. And serve even more besides just studying and all... Anyways, then we had one period of english. Had a Vocab test. Then had exercise time. We were supposed to run 10 rounds today. But the teacher forgot and told us to sit down after 8 rounds. I told him and the other girls called me stupid... I mean, I was already on my knees (Literally. During the 20 seconds break we get for each round, after the 8th round, I dropped to my knees and started panting.) but I really wanted to do another 2 more rounds!! To keep on keeping on!
And today, I only heard the word 'asthma' being said only ONCE! YIPPEE!! But people still keep asking the darn question: "Are you ok/alright?" and this time instead of saying jsut 'yes', I got confident and added this line: "Always am."
You might say it sounds a bit silly. But to me, it means a lot. Because I am telling myself that I've always been alright. I never passed out or anything. It really makes me feel stronger and it gives me the urge to just get up and continue! YEAH!
Then had 1 period of science. Followed by recess and blah blah blah. But I do feel that I've become better friends with some guys today. Now, they don't make fun of me much anymore but actually talk to me as a friend would. ^^ But after school, Maurice accidently scraped my knee with his shoe!! And it stings...
Maurice!! I'm gonna kill you!

140208 - Valentine's Day, the Feeling
Happy Valentine's Day y'all! A thousand pardons for not updating! Even Ms Bay complained! Haha! ^^ Anyways, 3 lucky girls receieved presents from their "boyfriends". Riiiiight. Didn't really do much today during school time. But after school time, man, it was fun.
We went to visit these World War II sites. The first place, don't know exactly where, but we played games there. Pretty cool. My team, Exciting Eulers, didn't even get 3rd place. Saaadd... BUT NO MATTER! XD And then we went over to Labrador Park where immediately, memories from my P5 Camp came flooding back. I still have the camp shirt with me.
I remember the games. I remember how there were no fans in the girls' rooms so we spent the night fanning ourselves with paperplates... I remember how one girl got an injury, causing her entire foot to bleed. I remember climbing down the 3-story wall. I remember how Ryan forced me to write the script for the drama. I felt like vomitting on the 2nd night so I had to go home. I took too much heat, I think.
Yeah, it was fun. I remembered the trail we took. But we took a different road this time. Had an amazing view. We then all ran down this hill which was quite steep. I came in 2nd! Xu Hao first... But then when he, Martin and I raced again, I won!! YEEESSS!! When I overtook them, I could hear the girls saying: "Jia you Belle!" XD
And I can honestly say that today, I could feel... unity in the class. I mean, yeah, people still made fun of my name. But I really felt very 'connected' with my classmates today. Both guys AND girls. Maybe, just maybe, I can find the feeling of family amongst friends besides the cell group too. ^^

100208 - 100th Post!
Hey guys! This is my 100th Blog Post already! Whoo! Time flies man! Anyways, went for service today! Was awesome man! Though it really didn't relate to the single youths right now. But in the future, it shall! ^^
Today's Message title was: Marriage.
Now, you can see why it doesn't relate to the single youths. But it was pretty cool. Although I did find it to be a little sexist... They said the role of the husband was to be the LEADER. And the role of the wife was to be the "HELPER".
... But man! We have SIN in the world right now because of one man = one male = one HUSBAND = Adam. I didn't notice this before. I thought Adam was away when Eve was talking to the snake and when she ate the forbidden fruit. But he wasn't! He was there! Right next to her! God had warned him about the forbidden fruit but he ignored it! He knew better but Eve didn't! So even when the snake was persuading her to eat the forbidden fruit, ADAM DIDN'T STOP THE SNAKE! Adam didn't stop Eve from eating the fruit either!
And as for the husbands out there... Your wives are not expecting you to be perfect! They are just expecting you to be RESPONSIBLE! To be a leader! To lead her and your (if there is any) children! Look! A nice lady in the Bible turned bad because of 3 men! 3 very, very bad men! But the good thing is, one of those men repented! ^^
And also, at first, I didn't think it was "alright" to post this, but after reading her blog, I think it should be fine! ELYN IS GETTING MARRIED! WHOOOO!! She's engaged!! Ooh yeah! And it's such a strange feeling, you know? I mean, all the weddings I've attended are my relatives or my parents' friends and am required to attend. But now, Elyn herself, getting married. I'm not "required" to attend. I WANT to attend! I mean, this is my own friend! My friend is getting married! It's such an awkward feeling to actually have A FRIEND get married!! WHOO! CONRATULATIONS TO ELYN!!
Kelvin and Cynthia will be next to go down the aisle! Two more years okay!! XD Kidding, kidding. After service, some of them went to Dorothy's house for visitation. Ayron and I had to go home. And so did Joshua and Pepsi. So we had lunch/dinner together at Best. ^^ Then we went home. Had dinner with my family. PIZZA! ^^
And I am now here, blogging. ^^ Well, tomorrow is school. And Drama Enrichment. Who's in my group for that? I'm confused!!

090208 - Leviathan
Had a mini "prayer meeting" last night at my house. Lokies was also an obnoxious "new" friend. Ayron and I became "cell group leaders". It was quite fun. We gave our "testimonies".
Read the entire book of Job last night. And I realised that it mentioned Leviathan. I thought it was supposedly a giant shark. Leviathan is actually a legend and there is no proof that it exists. But the entire chapter 41 of Job is "dedicated" to this Leviathan. Isn't everything in the Bible true?? So doesn't that mean that Leviathan is real?
Problem with me is that I'm very intellectual and I'm always thinking of something. I'm a very curious person and I can't leave something undiscovered. Especially if I know there is a chance that it might be real. Man... Why am I like this?
Anyways, blogging this from Joel's laptop. Came over for lunch. Went to Jurong Point with mum before this. Had a late breakfast at Coffee Bean. Got a deck of Prince of Tennis playing cards too! ^^
Ah, back to Leviathan. I went to all sorts of websites. "Aiya! Leviathan is a serpent! Serpent is the devil!" was what Lokies kept saying. I mean, it is a serpent. But what if it isn't the devil? There was a picture of Leviathan at en.wikipedia.org. Freaked me out man. I realised that Leviathan is mentioned at least 6 times in the Bible. Kelvin said anything mentioned in the Bible more than once is important. Is Leviathan really real??
Okay, not gonna blog much about what I learned about it right now. With Lokies looking over my shoulder? No way! I can't believe today is already SATURDAY!!! School will be starting soon! With homework and all!! URGH!!
Later, going to Uncle Ben's house. Just visitation. Bringing Kino!! ^^

080208 - My Life is Dull...
Alright alright! I have internet connection for this brief moment! On Wednesday, went for reunion with my father's side of the family! Was good to see all my relatives again! Then yesterday, went to collect hong paos from both sides of the family. Now I'm here blogging, waiting for the cell group to arrive, with some of my relatives, screaming and yelling as they play card games.
And reading my past blogs, I have noticed that my life has become very DULL! Urgh... Nothing much to do and all... Alright, gonna read some others' blogs! ^^

060208 - Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year! Went to school for half-day today. Had lessons, fortunately, mothertongue is the last two periods so didn't see Mdm Wang today! YAY! NO CHINESE!
Also, all the teachers said Happy Chinese New Year to us, but no hong paos! WAH! Haha! Anyways, I got the entire week packed! Today, reunion dinner. Tomorrow, collecting hong paos, (yay!) Friday, cell group coming over to celebrate with us! Saturday, heading over to Joel's for breakfast/lunch. And Sunday, going to church! Got something on for each day! ^^
Anyways, I realised for the past 2 weeks, although Geography is my favourite subject, I become very moody once it starts. But I still love learning about it, just not very enthusiastic. But today! The fire has been ignited again! YEEHA!
Had exercise time today! Whoo! I beat my record of 44 seconds for 200 metres! Got 42 now! ^^ Learned about respiration and breathing and all.
And geography!! Mr Chia actually divided us into 4 groups the first lesson. And he'd play games with us, raking in points for our group. My group is 'Infernal' and we're in the lead! Today, he just announced that the team with the highest points, he'd send us to a friendly competition with other classes! At the end of the game we played today, we had 165 points! 2nd place was "Inferno Frenzy" and they got 146! WHOO! Way ahead! Gonna be a geography test coming up! I'm gonna ace it! ^^

030208 - Happy Birthday Kelvin!!
Today, after cell group meeting, we celebrate Kelvin's birthday. I met up with Sara earlier today to buy the cake and it cost $20!! Man! Was it ever expensive!! Yeah, then I also made the card. And Cynthia made a special appearance! Well, not exactly special, to Kelvin, it was. To us, it wasn't. We had it planned! ^^ Anyways, just a short blog to say happy birthday to Kelvin! Happy 23rd Birthday!!

030208 - (No Title)
Sorry for not blogging for the past 2 days. Internet down again. Anyways, went for service yesterday. First Saturday service. Not all seats were filled up, but soon, by God's power, it shall be packed man! PACKED! Until we gotta start another service! ^^
Fortitude. Wow. Endurance, tolerance. But what I really enjoyed most about the service was that Pastor Tan told us about a marathon runner. And the point was, we are here not to just be in the race but to finish the race. It was just simply amazing.
After service, there was this sports outreach program. Carol, Yi Ting, Hui Mei, Christina Ong and I rode with Bertram and his brother, Benjamin to NTU. Benjamin drove of course! Thanks much guys! ^^
When we got there, the entire place was WET! Played Captain's ball. And it came to a tie in the finals. We were against W279, Cynthia's cell group. Haha! And the score was 0-0. So we split the $100 Vouchers. It was really fun. My eldest brother, Ayrton participated as well! He played basketball!
And after my first round of captain's ball, I was running to go watch Jouis, Bertram, Joel and Warrick play soccer, I slipped and fell right onto a small patch of MUDDY water!! The entire left side of my jeans were covered in mud and I bruised my thigh! Oww... It still hurts!!
Then we went to the canteen to have a late dinner at 8:30? Yeah... Then we all took a bus to Jurong Point where we all parted ways. -Sigh- Going for Cell Group later. ^^
