the art of stoning

stoning is an art. not everyone can stone. among many stoners, the professional ones are those who can choose nice places to stone at the right time.

i stoned at the bus stop opposite my hostel for a while to wait for 198 with quynh and peng peng today. i never realised that the scenery looked so nice from there, although i stopped at that bus stop almost everyday when i went back from school. everything was just so green and peaceful. okay maybe because i usually come back late, so everything is like black instead of green. anyway i think i should stone there more often.

another nice place to stone is acjc bleachers because from there you can see the field and the sports complex. so are the bleachers at the pool deck as you can see the swimming pool from there. i've fallen in love with that swimming pool since dont-know-when. maybe its because i go swimming too often. this week i swim like 6 times, both for lifeguards training and for swim meet! lifeguards trainings are getting crazier these days, but i just love going for trainings!

10 randoms things!

I have not posted anything here for super long! Hmph, I actually wanted to write something last week, but I could not log in to blogger. So here am I, trying recall 10 random things that I've done last week and this week to make up a post!

1. I adopted a new baby and my new baby is super cute!

2. I watched sunrise in school (at the bleachers) on 11 March.

3. It rained throughout the lifeguards camp, but we did not swim as much as expected.

4. I watched three movies at the cinemas and one series online, and all were nice!

5. I emo-ed a lot last week, and I even cried! I need to be stronger!

6. I checked the message log in my phone and found out that I sent 2468 messages this month!

7. I ate sooooooooo much for dinners on 15 and 16 March that my stomach wanted to burst!

8. I realised that walking in a dark park at night was seriously scary, especially when I forgot to bring "Mas Repellent".

9. I had cramps during training yesterday, and it was so badly hurt that I could not walk properly today.

10. I went fot arts night with my lifeguards friends [Haha Sylvia is crazy!]. I did not know that my classmates were going, so i pangseh-ed them. Sorry!

These are 10 random things that I've done. This week is a short week, because Friday is Good Friday! I am going for lunch with my classmates after school and for dinner with lifeguards after training tomorrow. LOVE AS BEFORE. And L FOR LIFEGUARDS. L FOR LOVE. Oh yeah, Funorama is coming really soon! And i am excited!

HELLO :) i haven't updated for like over a month!? lazyyy la. i've been really busy with school and stuff. so much work to do ):

so i have an actual CCA now. zomg! i'm becoming so involved in school this year it's amazing. i stay back for CCA, i do CAS projects (sort of like cip la) i stay in school 5 days a week most weeks and don't skip lessons and don't run out of school early. i even do PE!!! my entire life practically revolves around school. it's so strange but somehow i'm getting used to it, and it's not as bad as i thought i'd be la. ah but one thing never changes: i'm still perpetually behind on school work. diediedie.

we had founder's day today and award ceremony yesterday. of all the useless mondays and thursdays that we're forced to come to school for no reason i think yesterday and today ownedddd. haha and today was funny cos everyone was forced to sit outside on the astroturf while it RAINED and RAINED for once being in choir pays off! ah wells. sadly i have hourly reports again for tmr ): this hostel is INSANE i swear. i wished i could move outtttt. whines.

oooh and like quynh mentioned. we took sats last month or something i think, and we PHAILLL. must take again and actually attempt to study this time. SATs are damn boring though i swear. i wanted to die during the paper it was so long and tedious and every time i reached the english section i was just like, oh god. can't imagine sitting through another four hours of SATs again!!

i wanna watch a movieee! but i'm so broke its not funny. i've been living with like NO money at all since end of january. yah i also dunno how i manage but somehow i do. barely. ah but i REALLY wanna watch a movie. i've yet to catch PS I love you! the last show i watched was like juno omg it was really reallygood though like seriously one of my favorite shows of ALL time. everyone should go watch it!

i likeeeeeeeeeee :) :)

okok shall shut up now i'm gonna go watch greyssss :) BUAIZ

Quynh :)

Oh dear... The last time i sent an entry onto this blog is like... last year!!! Ya, i'm horrible, i know, that's why i'm updating y'all now of what has happened recently this year :)

Ya, just like Phuong, i'm a qualified Lifeguard now. Hurray!!!!!! For those who took the test: Good job!!! For those who didn't take the test: thank y'all for helping us and supporting us!!! And for those who are taking test: good luck, you guys would make it just like we did!!! Oh no, i'm getting high again... hahaha

J2 has been busy, like seriously. Ha and I were involved in Orientation 1 and 2... Oh ya oh ya, i almost forgot to say: Orientation was truly a blast!!!! Though it got us all burnt and worn out, but it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would surely bring up a spark in our eyes every time we look back.

And then there was the SAT that Trang and I took last month.. Though we're kinda prepared that we'd screw the test, for me, there was still quite a lot of stress upon taking the test. And ya, the result didn't turn out very well, but for someone who didn't study anything like us, bet we'd own it in May when we're more prepared :)
And then Chinese new year came, with a four-day holiday, and Ha's birthday fell exactly on the 1st day of Chinese new year. We went to Labrador Park to have a small party, and ya, happy birthday Ha, though it's already 17 days over, haha :)

And then Valentines came in peace, meaning, there was no scandal among the 4 of us, or at least that was all that I'd noticed :D

Now, term exam is like coming.... in 4 days' time, oh no!!!! Study hard, ok? I know we'd make it through, just like we did to all the major exams that we have had so far. This is already our last year, so press on girls!!!!

Ya, so this is like our A level year. Put in the best effort, girls, let's all complete our race with passion, tenacity and integrity, let's all run this race like we've never run before, let's run so that at the end of the race, you could just like fall down, like you're dying, knowing that you've put in the best you could and finished it...

.... Who knows, this might be the last year we stay together as one...

qualified lifeguards!

I AM A QUALIFIED LIFEGUARD FROM TODAY ONWARDS! yes that means that i passed my BM (Bronze Medalion) test!

theory test was okay (i applied what i studied from the lifesaving manual and mostly my own COMMON SENSE to answer all eight questions in the paper given!). i was super nervous before the 3:15 test (for your information, 3:15 test is the test that requires the candidates to swim 50m, rescue the casualty and tow the casualty back to safety within the time limit of 3 mins and 15 seconds). i'd never met the timing before during practices. but amazingly, despite the muscle pain ever since mass pe on thursday, today my timing was 3 MINS!!! i dont know whether the swimming cap really helped or whether i was so scared of failing BM that i stripped, swam and towed that fast! the rest of the items after 3:15 were easy, because there were no timings taken.

what made me even happier is that all the nine of us who took the test today passed! victor actually didnt make it at first, but the super nice examiner gave him a second chance and with zhi yong's assistance, his timing was 3:09! good job victor! haha we all screamed like mad when the examiner said we were all qualified! i like that examiner! he was super lenient!

after the test, all of us (including those who didnt take the test as well) went to dover market for lunch. haha i dont know why we always go to dover market after all e tests that we've taken so far. its not like e best place to eat or whatsoever, but its just super nice to stay there with my lifeguards friends talking, camwhoring, and creating scandals! haha lifeguards is super scandalous now! there're so many couples! haha and king raymond aka haohao is really popular!

oh i realise that i can talk so much about lifeguards! i really love acjc lifeguards very much! haha i've been saying this for many many times, but i still wanna say it again!

hmm after cheryl, tiffany, perlin, and huihui pass their BM, we'll go out to celebrate again! and this time, the celebrate will be much more grand/grander because we'll get our certs! go acjc lifeguards!

-quynh phuOng (:

happee phuongg!

im like super happy now, and i seriously have no idea why i am happy! sometimes i just cant understand myself. this week has been a busy and tiring one with a lot of things happening at the same time. i was like always tired and sleepy everyday. the only time when i was more active was during lifeguards training! when i joined lifeguards last year, i never imagined that there would be this day when i loved lifeguards so much!

hmm i was blog-hopping just now, and i visited blogs of my cca friends. hmm i noticed that they blogged a lot about lifeguards! reading their blogs made me realise how much they are proud of acjc lifeguards ad being a part of acjc lifeguards. so i just feel like blogging about lifeguards too, because i am, just like my cca friends, proud to be an acjc lifeguard!

although i hate myself being such a blackie becauce of swimming under the hot sun three times a week (especially during saturday trainings!), although im very worried for my skin allergy, although i never want to have arm muscles and huge thighs, i dont know why i just cannot not go for trainings. to be honest, there are times when im super lazy to swim, but i still go to the pool just to watch my lifeguards friends swim.

having trainings three times a week cannot be considered often. each training also lasts for only 2-3 hours. so in fact, we only spend about 10 hours with one another per week. hmm 10 hours? thats less then e time i spend with my classmates in a day! okay it is true that i love my class and most of my classmates, and i also love my friends-and-non-friends friends, but i have to admit that as a whole, i love lifeguards the most! [classmates, friends and non-friends, please dont be mad at me!]

bm test is next saturday. i hope i wont fail! i've never met the 3:15 timing before! omg im scared! from now until then, i have 3 trainings left! i promise i'll train as hard as i can, and do my best during the test. we can do this together! looking forward to march camp!

its been like a century since i posted something here! okay, maybe not a century, hmm, just one year! haha i cant believe that my last entry here was posted last year! so happy new year people! i know this is a very very late new year greeting, but yeah...

january is ending soon [actually today is the last day of january!]. i've gotten used to writing 2008 in my tutorials/ homework/ assignments instead of writing 2007. wow its been a month since i become a senior in school! being a j2 is not as bad as i expected YET! our class has been busy preparing for funOrama, although its still like 2 months away. we did 2 fund raisings, one of which was a success while the other was not so. other than that life in the first month has been quite relaxing without any stress. im very proud of myself for being emo for only 2 days through out this whole month! :D

okay im quite happy, as i just realised that my fringe is like, much longer now! so i guess i should go eat something before putting on the stupid rubber band to torture my poor teeth!
