It's called scale. :)

Can't waittttttt

OMG I cannot wait until Saturday!!
Spa @ Marriot!!!!!!
That's gonna be super duper awesommeeeee
and since I could bring friends, I asked my cheerleading buddies , Phoebe, Mel, Christina, :)

I have NEVER been to a spa before !!
(you can tell how excited I am by all the exclamation marks.)
That phone call really made my day!

All my worries just fled away all of a sudden when i heard I'm going to a spa!!!! (including how I can't run now cuz of injuries)
What is better to relieve stress than spa???
Everything will be allllrighttt now.
I filled out this ballot lucky draw thing ,I dont even know what it was for, but I guess its just my luck!
I rmbr I won a lucky draw before, but they were Dishwashing stuff!
But hey, it saved my mom tons of money cuz they were All Natural.

I'll post allllllll about it after :)))))))

quote from xinyi

Sunday Monday Tuesday [Wednesday Thursday Friday] Saturday

...Everybody has a lil [ W T F ] in their week

but i wonder why i have mine every single day-.-

I have mine everyday too. ~sigh~

Little things about me

• I just got a call saying that I won a SPA at Marriot hotel.
• I got bitten by the running bug. It's recovery period now but I'm itching to run!
• I'm learning gymnastics now.Yes, at 16. It's never too old to learn :)
• I eat 3 bananas a day, at least one if theres not enough
• I formed my school cheerleading team(yay me!)
• I was eavesdropping on the phone , and I heard something that I'm not supposed to hear.Now it has waken me up and I'm determined to crush that person's words. It only takes time.
• I'm a gym junkie. I can never not workout.
• I want those lovely volleyball player's shoulders. That's one of the things I'm working towards now.
• I want to break a 20 min 5k.
• I swear inside my head
• I don't know how to communicate and deal with people.
• My marks depends on the teacher I have. If it's a good teacher, I get good marks, and vice versa.
• I need to go study Chem now.

i'm afraid to fly

I remembered that when I was in Form 1, I was never afraid of going up in double base.

But now it seems soo scary, I don't even wanna go up, and prefer being a third/support.

But isn't that what cheerleading is all about? Taking the risk as a flyer and feel the thrill of being thrown up into the air and trusting them that they will be there to catch you. It's really amazing once you learn how to do it and perfect it. There's no other feeling like it. Well, maybe qualifying for Ofsaa.They would feel the same.

Well, to fly or not to fly, that is the question.
But Track season is so near... I don't want to take the risk.
And there's anough flyers already, anyways.
So help me decide...

:O

Oh my goodness.

Thanks to feed jit.

I saw someone coming to my blog by searching "Christine ho Bethune" on Google.

Oh my goodness.

Please don't stalk me.

vball,anyone?

I'm trying out for the Senior girls Volleyball team.

Wish me luck!

My biology mark is the same as my math mark. How pathetic.

Would you rather study in an Asian kiasu school like mine and get 70% in Math or study in a White school and get 90%?
It's almost like I'm studying in CHS . but different environment.Everything is too hard :(

I wish I could walk out of Bethune and never go back. The teachers are insane.

6 marks

Something awful happened to me today. (I know ,eh? Why do bad things keep happening to me?)
So This was what happened.
We have a folder that we keep records of the stuff we do in Gym class, like how many push ups and sits ups and burpees we did. And there's something called the 1 RM test. No, it's not 1 Malaysian ringgit test. It's 1 max repetition test. We lift a certain amount of weight for the stated machines so that the max we can do is 6-8 reps (it should be 1 rep(1 RM), but my gym teacher said 6-8. Clearly she can't follow instructions as well.) So we did the test around 2-3 weeks ago, and we have to divide the 1 RM by our weight to see how much % of our own weight we've lifted.
Since we haven't done the beep test(20 meter acceleration run) yet, I assume she won't mark our folders until we've completed everything.
Little did I know that I was soo wrong.
She suddenly told us that she marked our folders and we lost marks for anything not completed.

I did not do the calculations for 1RM at all. I wrote down the number but did not divide it by my weight. Uh-oh.

I mean, please, who brings calculators into the gym??
I plan to do it when we get a chance to bring it home or something. But noooo, she has to mark it all of a sudden. And it wasn't just me. There were a few others who didn't do it too.
So I lost 6 friggin' marks for not doing the calculations.
6 whole marks.
I was depending on gym class to raise my average. Now I have to turn to Math, my worst subject.
Gosh. So ironic.


One more thing. Cheer try outs were great !

E-x-c-i-t-e-d

I am sooooooooo excited for tomorrow!!!!
Whoooohooo cheer leading try outs! :)
For once in my life, a try out that I don't actually have to try :D Because I'm already in.

Awesssooommmeeeee xD

btw It happened again today. Sometimes I really wish I have the power to read minds. Not just when I'm seeing the person, but read minds whenever we're communicating. Emails, phone calls, anything like that. People can say one thing and mean the other. And I feel like they act like they don't hate me in front of me, but when they're talking to me without seeing me, it's like they are a completely different person. I can actually sense that in the way they write their e-mails, or the way they talk. Like when they reply your emails with only the answer to one topic, while other topics are ignored, either they forgot(which is highly unlikely) or they just hate it when you talk about that particular issue and they can choose to ignore it because it's email, or phone, when they pretend not to hear or cut off the line "accidently". When you see them in person, they have no choice but to answer. Really, I'm not trying to annoy anyone, piss anyone off or stalk anyone. If they don't like me, or if they don't wish to see me anymore, just tell me for god's sake. Or if they hate it when I talk about some particular stuff, just tell me something like " You don't have to worry about that", or "You're being paranoid", not ignoring it. I keep wanting to know more if you ignore me. I wish I had mind reading powers too, you know. Don't go and expect me to read your mood or thoughts. The people I'm referring to in this post are not going to read my blog, so really, this might be pointless but at least I know that someone out there knows how I'm feeling right now. You don't even have to read my mind. Everything in my mind now is out here.

always a reminder

Everyday, something will happen that reminds me about the truth.
I try to hide it, but it keeps popping up. I put up a happy face, try to fit in with anyone around that might talk to me.I just stand around them, pretending that I have friends, that I'm not a loner. No one sits with me in the bus unless there's no seats left.
They used to be so innocent and we used to be friends, but , hey, this is high school.
It's senior year now, everyone seemed to have changed. The innocent little freshmen that they used to be had become mature, make-up wearing, hand bag-carrying "adults", or shall I say, "b****".
But I didn't want to change. I stuck to being myself, I stuck to my old self, the me who never swears, the me who never joins the popular crowd, the me who's always quiet, etc.
And so I couldn't fit in because I didn't change along with them. My only friends are ,well, new friends whom I didn't know of until this year so I don't really know if they've changed, but at least they're not bitches. Still, they're just fair weather friends.
In Bio class today ,Ms. Langton asked me "Are anyone in this class your friends?"
I quickly think of someone's name, and just said "oh ,yeah, umm, Audrey."

My wishlist

I wish I had a team for Crosscountry so I can qualify for Ofsaa easier.
I wish I had the runner's genes
I wish I started gymnastics and running when I was younger
I wish I'm fast enough to qualify for Ofsaa
I wish I'm 14 now so I'd still be in midget category
I wish I'm taller
I wish I didn't need glasses
I wish I'm good at Math
I wish I'm belonged somewhere
I wish I didn't have a sister
I wish I could run faster
I wish I had a boyfriend( kidding!)
I wish I didn't do what I did that day
I wish I'll have an awesome sixteenth birthday
I wish they know how I feel
I wish I feel belonged when I go there.
I wish all my wishes come true. Well, at least the ones that can come true.

I love my new babies

I realized I need to update my blog with real posts. Not short, skanky and sad posts. It's the school dance today and I'm home blogging. I know,I know,what a geek.

Before anything, I just want to let you know that my birthday is coming up soon. :D
Mark your calendars! November 13th is the day.
Remember to wish me happy sweet sixteen or I'll be really miserable cuz my mom's gonna be in Malaysia and no one will be celebrating it with me. And it will end up like last year where I wrote a whole post about my miserable birthday. And trust me, you don't want it to happen.

Yesterday was my last Crosscountry competition with my school team. Because, sadly, I was not qualified for Ofsaa. I swear I'm gonna ace Metros Championships next year. I have no choice.
But all in all ,it was an awesome day. I got my new and fabulous spikes on Monday so that I could use it for the race. And it was the best race ever in those shoes. I usually hate hills, but I love them now. :) Even I was shocked when I said that.

my babies :D They're Adidas .

the jersey says "Bethune", my school name. I do not like to say this name. Whenever people ask me what school I'm from, and I tell them "Bethune"and they will usually ask, "What?"
and I will tell them again, "Bethune", and they will say, "Oh, never heard of that before"
Try pronouncing it yourself. Doesn't it sound like bafoon?
This picture is not photoshopped.

Anyways, I'm really excited for cheerleading :DDD My newly formed and fabulous cheer team.
Whoohooo cheer captain!

this will be my self portrait for my art assignment :D

Regionals

I forgive myself.
After the fall, the painful fall.
sudden blur in thought,
seeing the people rush by,
literally like a stampede,
but I didn't want to turn back.
I'd never forgive myself
if I did.
I jumped back up,
thrust with anger,
furiously mad,
so I sprinted hard to catch up.
but I landed in 12th place.
I qualified for Metros Championship
but I'm hurt.
I forgive myself.
It's ok.It's no biggie.
I'll try again next year.
I'll just try again next year.

belated Thanksgiving post

This was how I spent Thanksgiving :)

And if you ate Turkey, BOOoo I hate you. I ,on the other hand, I had Tofurkey( tofu-turkey)
It's much better, and much tastier, and most of all, I'm not eating a piece of dead body.

yum.

organic pumpkin pie :)
