I rediscover an ancient artefact.

Me, an explorer in a post-apocalyptic universe, stumbling upon an ancient artefact buried under ash and dirt; this blog, a relic of my childhood.

This is so strange - what shall I about write now? I managed to read some of these posts before I felt too burdened to carry on... it's been such a long time, and I can't help feeling annoyed and weirded out by my past self. I certainly don't remember being such a pessimistic child?

Oh look, the Pusheens are having a party!

- This alien font is giving me a headache - should I change it? 

- No, no, I must preserve the artefact as much as possible.

I'm not gonna write any more stuff here, but I just felt like I had to leave some sort of mark. Like an old astronaut revisiting her home planet and hoisting up a dusty red flag, before drifting back into the gaping emptiness.

So, God bless and goodbye for now!

Hydrogen Dioxide?

That's actually what our chemistry teacher was talking about just now (I'm referring to the title, if you don't realise).
I like chem but I'm sort of more interested in atomic theory than the properties of elements, mixtures, compounds, molecules and atoms.
Anyways, to test my memory, here goes...

Compounds: Made up of 2 or more elements chemically combined. Can only be separated by chemical reactions. The ratio/proportion of elements is fixed. Compounds have different properties compared to the elements they contain.
Mixtures: 2 or more substances physically combined. Can be separated by physical means. Retains properties of its elements.
Elements: They cannot be broken up into simpler substances by any (dahhhh I forgot -_-) chemical processes or electricity (right).
Molecules: (I forgot again. >sigh<) They are basically chemical combinations of two or more atoms.
Atoms: They're made up of a nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons as well as electrons, which orbit around the nucleus. I won't go into atomic structure yet, though.

Oh well. Physics lessons were more fun but I think it's too early to come to conclusions regarding chem class. I'll look forward to the time when we start moving ahead :D

I've not been blogging for... a very long time. Our class (109) is nice but I still prefer SHPS to this school. It feels more like an organisation/workplace here than a school sometimes...

Oops there's no time, I'll continue to write later!

I'm back - at last......

Yay......PSLE's over!!!!!!

Well, sorry for my long absence - I guess I've been too busy with the preparations for this exam. Okay, now that it's over, I should be able to blog more often......

Lots have happened during the period when I was away. We went for a few excursions during the first few months this year to the Little Red Dot Traffic Exhibition (??I've forgotten what it's called) and Pasir Ris beach and mangrove (that excursion was awesome!). Then I studied, studied and studied and hooray, today's the last day of PSLE!!:)

I actually fell sick on the day of the Math paper. That was on Friday. I felt terrible and had a high fever by the time it was evening (the exam was early in the morning). I was really worried and prayed hard - fortunately, I recovered from the fever after one day! Thank God!

I'm hoping and trusting that four miracles will happen - 1) A* in Math, 2) A* in Chinese, 3) A* in Science and 4) A* in English. I know the odds are somehow stacked against me 'cause of the fact that i wasn't feeling well but I believe I'll be able to do well. My aim: 280/300.

Anyway, I was just looking at some hamster pics at Flickr just now....awesome! I'll post a pic here......



Bye!

Bored.

Ah.

I'm having a hard time trying to think of something to write.

Oh well. I guess I'll just start of by telling you what I did today.

Yup. Today is Sunday, so I went to church. We sort of had a "Games Day" and we played captain's ball against P6's. Quite reluctantly, though, for some of us. Of course, they won. What surprised me was that our scores were sort of near: 18:20, or was it 18:23? Never mind.

Our teacher from MKC treated us to pizza. And bubble tea, for some, and ice cream. Unfortunately, the pizza slipped through my fingers and I dirtied my shirt. :)

Then we headed home and my parents went out to visit our friend from church who was in hospital, I think, and I settled down to watch a video after sweeping the floor. It was a bit sad, though. Then, I got bored and here I am, sitting in front of the computer and blogging.

Hmmm. This sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? Well, as I said before, I don't really have much to write about. I'm bored. Well, maybe I'll find something else to do.

Adios, people!

:P

OK. The first thing you've probably noticed is that my blog background has changed.

The second is that I've written a new post. The one that you're reading now.

Ah. So you're expecting me to give some kind of comment or explanation for this.

The thing is, I have nothing to say about this. Absolutely nothing, so I hope you won't be shocked or horrified or anything of that sort. :)

Today we went to the Botanical Gardens. It was fun! Well, for the first time in my life I actually walked the whole area...... that is, not including the EcoGarden (with the lake) or the Evolution Garden.

I opened my sleepy eyes at about 7.30a.m. I officially woke up at 7.45a.m (I sort of didn't want to wake up :) ). It was cloudy. When we got there, it poured. Yeah, poured.

I was thinking that we were probably going to be seen as crazy people walking in stormy weather (forgive me for exaggerating a bit) when we turned into the visitor's centre. There we saw a whole bunch of people putting on their raincoats and getting ready to walk in the rain. I was surprised.

The walk turned out to be quite fun. We went to the National Orchid Garden. We saw so many beautiful orchids and I got excited and snapped many pictures. There was a Tan Hoon Siang mist house, sadly with no mist, but it exhibited many award-winning orchids that were amazing. There was also a cool house (quite cold but refreshing) where there were different types of pitcher plants. The signs told us to look out for the Venus Flytrap but I couldn't find it. Believe me, the pitcher plants were so camouflaged that it was a bit difficult to spot all of them. We also saw the Vanda Miss Joaquim.

Then we went to the Ginger Garden. There were gingers, all right, but it apparently wasn't the season for its flowers to bloom. :( I realized that bananas were a kind of ginger, and so were bird of paradise flowers.

The last place we went to was the Swan Lake, and the swans looked magnificent as usual. We also saw the Titan Arum, which was supposed to mature in November (the Titum Arum is the world's largest unbranched inflorescence). However, we had a hard time trying to figure out whether they had made a mistake and the flower hadn't bloomed yet or it had already bloomed and had closed up already. Oh well.

We were sad to find out that the food court was close and had to walk all the way back to the other side of the garden. >Sigh<.

I would like to post some pictures, but maybe next time. I feel like taking a nap right now.

Bye!

Hello again!

Another computer break! Whew! I've been studying for my piano theory test......it's my first time and I'm scared. The fees cost a bomb, that is, compared to those in other countries. Well well, I've got to buck up. Theory isn't my favourite part of piano studies......


Have you noticed my sudden interest in horses? Hehe.
Here's one of my favourite horse pictures:















I'm looking forward to this Saturday's trip to Botanical Gardens....it's been a long time since we've been there. It'll be a good chance to exercise. Sometimes I think that it's very unfortunate to have cars in Singapore when its so small. We don't have the habit of walking anymore. That's bad.

Anyway, we're starting to pack for our trip to Taiwan. Our other relatives - including my fun but sometimes very irritating cousins (no offense!) - will be following us.

I'm having a hard time choosing a book for my ERP (Extensive Reading Programme) project. Here's the list of books I've singled out - any suggestions?

1. Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George
2. Bridge to Terabithia by Kate Paterson
3. The Giver by Lois Lowry
4. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
5. I am David by Anne Holm

Hmmm. There's still one more book left that I haven't read though. I hope I'll be able to decide by the end of this week.

Happy days are here again! :)

Yay! It's holidays again!

I'm feeling a bit bored, though. I still have to prepare for next year. The thought of PSLE sends shudders down my spine.

Oh well. Lots of revision to do. Feeling tired. I wish holidays could be extended to a year....

Never mind. I've still got a trip to Taiwan to look forward to, though it means that I'll have less time to study.

GTG. Bye!
