Hello! I'm back from China! Hiaz! I received no call from ACJC about my appeal (as what my sister said)! Wahhahahah! I wanna cry, feel so disappointed!:( Now no choice but to go Innova JC for the first few weeks liao! Haiz! All alone again, starting from scratch all over again! Entering Barker alone and now Innova alone again. Wahhahahah...! Congrats to all those whose appeals worked. :) But of course how I envy you all! Duh! I have nothing to contribute to the school! But no matter what, deep down in my heart, ONCE AN ACSian, ALWAYS AN ACSian!

Ok! So sad that my trip to China has ended so quickly. I wouldn't mind spending a few more days there seeing the scenery, but not the Free and easy days! The scenery was very nice, the food was edible, some nice but practically everyday was the same, at least 3 veggie dishes, fish, fish that were boney, boney boney. The Free and Easy days were boring. . The temperature was 2*C and it was cold cold cold, smoke was like coming out of my mouth. And at around 5.30pm in the afternoon, it's already dark. Geography: Winter time, Long day, Short night!

Reached China at around 6am+ in the morning, took the Shanghai magnetic train. Then went to Chenghuangmiao street to look at the old streets and shopping. After that transferred to SuZhou, went to the central park there, then went to some Garden meant for the rich people, and at night, took a cruise around an ancient water town and since it was in the night, the lights were one and the scene was beautiful. The next day, went to a silk factory and then cruised in some lake.......Yawns tired. Continue tomorrow.

Yesterday morning, when back to school to photo copying some stuff from the report book....forgot that I had actually printed the prelim results already! Saw Mr Ng and was surprised that he is still in school. And still settling some stuff with primary 6 students parents. Asked me what was I doing in school and gave me a pat on my shoulder....And today, when I switched on the computer and logged into he PAE website, I saw: Chen Guanqi Matthew, posted to Innova Junior College arts! In my mind was oh never mind, it's my second choice. ACJC was my first choice. Muahahaha! My toes are laughing....then went to ACJC to do my so called ''self'' appeal. No letters no recommendations from teachers and principal. Just all by myself. I shan't say more Then there, I CAN'T SEE THE PRINCIPAL. I was prepared to see Mrs Chan, spent the past few days planning what to say. There was only that stupid Online application form. Haiz! Such a waste of time! If if had known it earlier, I wouldn't have even wake up so early to go (knew that I wouldn't get to ACJC alr) to ACJC and ''see'' people. But still at least I've tried to do something for myself and have nothing to lose, all to gain and so once again, I leave it to the Lord. I will get my reply on the 21st.
As for you all: Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me Luck! Wish me Luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck! Wish me luck Wish me luck! Wish me luck!

Haiz! I'm getting bored! Can't wait till the 14th. By the time I wake up, half the day is already gone. Spent the next few hours watching TV and eating and by then, the day has ended. Bored!Bored! Bored! Sunday evening, followed mum and Jie Jie to Orchard Road to see branded bags. Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vitton and a few others. Just to see the designs and workmanship. Guess they were looking out for nice ones so that their money could be spent on them again. Walk here, walk there, see here, see there, until my legs wanna break. But never mind, I don't mind shopping. And in the end, yet another bag was bought. Really wonder when will they have enough bags on their shelves. The number keeps growing. Every shopping trip means new stuff. But seriously, these handbags are nice, they give one a sense status...you don't expect her working in a bank to carry some cheap pasar malam polyester imitation bag right. Wooh! workmanship in these bags are extremely fine. Chanel is the most expensive and so it can't be afforded at the moment. muahahaha!
Learnt a tip or two. To tell whether the bag has genuine leather, smell it, you can't run away from the smell of leather. Bags that are more triangular are known as Amazons while squarish are known as bostons. Hahaha! I also want to laugh! We waiting along Orchard, there was this man sitting directly beside my mum and he was carrying a male type of Gucci bag. It's so obvious it was fake. 3 things: The ''leather'' looks rough and lighter. The colour of the bag was lighter and the rims around the sides and edges were dark, very dark.
Fours years have passed, which means many teachers have taught me through out the years. So how do I find them? They are always very friendly, always ready to help, the encouragers, concerned about my well being, always asking how am I progressing(NEC, John Chao) or making sure I go for make up lessons( Veronica Lam) Haiya! Always telling my mum when are her remedials so that I can't escape.Maybe I might know them better because of the presence if my mum (alot of them know us). People that had be a great help to me:
Mr Ng Eng Chin(seriously my Life Saviour),Mrs Siow Yim Kheng, Mrs Audrey Ee, Mr Damien Fong, Miss Ng Hwee Fern(Sec1), Mr David Wong, Mr John Chao, Miss Juliana Jaffar(Sec2), Mr Chia Choon Khai, Mr Ernest Chia, Mr Eric Loh, Mrs Veronica Lam, Mr Samuel Eio, Mrs Lynette Loh. A very Big Thank You!

5 more days to the release of the PAE results, 6 to going Shanghai, 17 days to Christmas, 21 to ventures night, 23 to the new year. Time really flies by quickly, a month ago the Os ended and everyone gets exicited, relief that something major was over. Now's already early December and it's not before long that the Os will be release. Oh boy! I dread this day. But who cares, I already done my best and nothing more can be done and so, I leave it to the lord. But still, I have thoughts and little flashbacks about the Os which I just can't stop recalling. It haunts me every time when I try to sleep, but for the rest of the day, it's fine. How I wish I can just have a peace of mind. Tried reading through the book '' the basics..economics'' ( Economics is a H2 I have to take, or else I have nothing left.....not any science pls) and I must say that I don't quite understand it. I need a physical explanation as usually for it to sink into my head...Please don't say that I'm kiasu,kiasi as I'm just preparing myself for classes next year if I ever go JC so that I would not be blurr and lost when it's being taught by the teacher. Furthermore, it's a new subject and with no experience along with my terrible maths situation, I going to fail unlike smart pants people who may just play around and get good grades. Bitch!

Okay! I really wonder what JC I would be sent to? Most proberbly Innova JC. I applied ACJC as my first choice and Innova as my second. And so with my extremely high JC entry L1R5 of 20 pts, Innova would be the more ideal place I would be sent to. Oh well what should be the next move I should take to wriggle my way into the desired JC of mine! Haiz!

Baked my very first batch of the so called christmas cookies. Butter Orange Fingers would be the name I decided to call it. The problem was that the dough I made as followed from the recipe was not those firm kind where cookie cutters could be used. They were instead very soft, exactly as stated in the book and a pipe bag was needed. However, it's difficult to use the bag and so the shapes of the cookies came out ''disfigured''. A bit too sweet still even though I had already reduced the amount of sugar by 20 grams.

Went for David and Shannen's Birthday BBQ party today. OMG! can't believe I took the wrong train again(my third time). Supposely from Yio Chu Kang change @ City Hall to Bourna Vista, but when I changed to the other side, the train was heading towards Changi Airport. It was only like around Paya labar mrt when I say the route map on the wall where I then relised I was heading in the wrong direction. Changed back @ Eunos and after that, every thing when fine. I hate MRTs!!! Taxi yes! Met Yee Ann at Sunset way and then we went together to the party. Practically 3/4 of the class were present except a few. Played Monopoly, watched people play majong. Pasta, Sausages, Lamb shanks, Chicken wings, pork ribs,corn, salad was on the menu. :) Supposely to stay over but decided not to in the end. Got dropped off at holland village and waited for my Sis to come and be Gabriel and I up.

I coloured my hair light brown! Went for my Cousin's wedding on the 29th of November, Thursday. Woke up at around nine am to get ready to go for the tea ceremony. After that had lunch and left for home at around 1pm. The chinese ten course dinner and registration which started at 6.30pm of the marriage was at Swissotel the Stamford. Left around 5.45pm. Before that, had to drop my sis off to work/meeting. short jam along the way. The worst thing was that there was no parking lots at all. We waited a good 25 minutes but there was still no lots available so we had no choice but to just park at the side. In the end, we missed the registration.
