the happy stop

Overall results for 2009.

2009-10-29T19:35:00.000-07:00

Today,went to school with Mum for meet the parents session.
I have to say,i'm contented about my results ^^v
While we are waitng in the class,my heart were racing really really fast.
Not because of what Mr Faisal is going to tell my mum,
but its the overall result slip i'm gonna receive any minute later.

After Ching Yee and her mum left,
I knew it was my turn.
When me and my mum sat,
Mr Faisal pass me my report book,
he told me to flip to the first semestal result.
Yup,there it was,the result slip i received last semestal.
When i look at my class position in my first semestal result slip,
yup,i was 1st in class last semestal.
At that very moment,
i thought to myself :
Hey,Cassandra,i don't think you'll get 1st again.
Someone might probably out done me this time round.
Then Mr Faisal handed me my overall result slip.
I was shocked.
I don't know what to say.
Mr Faisal compliment me.
Last semestal,my total percentage was 71.7%
Now,my total percentage was 72.5%
I didn't expect myself to do better then semestal one.
Mr Faisal told my mum ,
" last semestal,Cassandra got 71.7% .In fact,she's able to do even better now."
This time round,i came in 1st in class again.
And for the level position,i came in 5th.
I was really really happy.
Mr Faisal told my mum he's happy to have me in his class (: (: (:
Aw..thanks Sir XD

Out of all 10 subjects,
i've got 4 A1s,
2 A2s,
2 B3s,
2 B4s.
This is my results:
Chinese : A1
History : A1
Literature : A1
Home economics : A1
Mathematics : A2
Design and Technology : A2
Geography : B3
Art : B3
English : B4
Science : B4
Total percentage : 725/1000
: 72.5 %
Class position: 1/40
Level position : 5/156
Promotion status : Promoted to S2 express
Comments : Cassandra is a cheerful sudent who is well-liked by the class.Cooperative and thrustworthy,she is committed to doing her best.She knows that she can produce good results and should share her study skills with her classmates.She should press on to achieve better results.She is consistently early for school.

Brenda told me that outside the general office,
they got put up the name of the top scorers for different subjects.
And she said she saw my name on alot of subjects. XD
I guess all my hardwork did pay off.
I should have check out outside the general office,
so that my mum could finally see how much i've change.
But on the second thought,
i think its best to not let her see.
Cause i'm afraid later when she saw it she'll go crazy.
Well,cause when we just reached home,
she's almost jump up the ceiling .
As this is the first time i did so well.
I promise,to continue to work even harder in the future.
And i make that promise to you,Mr Faisal (:
Its an honour to have you as our form teacher x)

So i'm also here to share my study skills not only to my class but in fact,everyone.
There are two main reason i did well.
1) Hardwork
2) For my dream and my family.
First of all,eveyone had been saying i did well is because i'm clever.
But i'm not.
Because i'm stupid,that's why i have to work even harder than anyone else.
As long as you are willing to work hard,goals will be achieved.
The next thing would be my dream and family.
I wanted to become a doctor.
I want to help the sick and needy people.
In order to become a doctor,i'll have to study hard.
Another thing is that,i want to work hard for my family.
It has always been my parents dream to travel around the world.
So i'm gonna work hard not only for myself but my parents.
I want to bring them around the world
and allow them to enjoy thier lives in their old age.
My dream and my family is the main reason that kept me going.
So,those who did not achieve their desire result please do not be disappointed (:
Cause i think you're doing great! and keep going! (:
I believe your ability isn't all up to here.
I believe you can do even better in the future (:
So everyone,let us all work hard together in the upcoming years! (:
Believe that every single one of us is unique and we can do it! ^^v
Cheers!

Last Day.

2009-10-29T03:49:00.000-07:00

Today,school had been super duper fun for me.
To be serious,i like westwood much much more than lakeside.
I never enjoyed school life so much before,
that is,until i'm in westwood.
Even in the gloomy days,my westwood friends always managed to make me laugh.
This was the first time,i ever laughed so hard in my life.
Westwoodians always make my day cheery.

Come to think of it,
i actually compared the me now and the me in the past.
Well,here's the conclusion :
Cassandra ( in the lakeside days ) :
-fearful,afraid to reject others.
-lack of confidence
-do not have my own opinion
-poor in studies, due to not making an effort in doing it well.
Cassandra ( now )
-much more confident.
-Learn to put in effort in whatever i do
-had my opinions.
-not afraid of rejecting others in what i do not want to do
Serious speaking,i really like who i am now.
Today,we received our overall progress card.
Well,they just write about how much you demonstrated on the school core values,
your weight,height and stuffs like this.
I'm really happy to see the results.
This was what it was written on it :
School core values:
Care,Concern and Compassion : Demonstrates srtongly
Continual Learning : Demonstrates very strongly
Resilience and Adaptibility : Demonstrates strongly
Integrity : Demonstrates strongly
Creativity and innovations : Demonstrates strongly
I'm really really happy that this was what my teacher sees in me.
Thank you Mr Faisal,i won't fail you,as i promise,i'll continue to work even harder in the upcoming years(:
For the final year result slips,
our parents have to go for the meet the parents seesion in order to get the result slip.
Today,Mr Faisal got the class to thank us,the class committees for all our contributions to the class.
Sir said that it was us who kept class 1F to survive for this whole year.
But Sir,you was the one who made everyone in this class survived.
You was the one who gave frequent hair and attire check
so that everyone's hair and attire is up to standards.
Without you,1F wouldn't have get this far.
So thank you very much! (: (: (:

We had operation clean up today,
since its the last day x)
To be frank,i really enjoyed it.
I had so much fun with my friends during the clean up. xp
Finally,it was almost done and Mr Faisal told everyone to be sitted in the classrooms.
But then,we still have some touching up to be done and thus,syahmi got me to help him.
*sniffs..
Nah,just kidding XD
Its an honour.
After school,i went to Jurong Point with Nicole,Alexis and Ameline (:
And right after that,Ameline and Alexis came to my house to play wii (: (: (:
We had loads and loads of fun x)
And not to mention,Alexis sure is violent.
When she played boxing with Ameline,
she won over and over again.
Pro eh?
Here's the end of my short short post (:
Short and Sweet! XD

First Aid Exam x)

2009-10-27T06:42:00.000-07:00

Today had been a long day for me.
I got back home around 7.30 pm?
i never came home this late,
especially alone.
Alright! (: (: (:
i shall start from the top. XD

Today morning,we had our rev-up x)
And man,i really enjoyed myself.
For sec ones,we had pushball!!! (: (: (:
And,1F girls managed to win 1E girls!
1E girls were great too(: its was a tough battle.
1E girls please done't be discourage too,you can do better! (:
and great game. XD XD XD
Not to forget,3 cheers for 1F!!!
Hip hip hooray (: (: (:
while the other classes are playing,
my class is suppose to wait for our next turn.
And during this time,
i practised my transport of casualty ( TOC) for my first aid exam.
Ameline and Choi ying was a great practise partner xp
thanks girls ^^
Lessons were nomal,so i'm not gonna talk much about it.
Except for D&T lesson.
Mr Mushtaq let us watch movie.
He gave us 2 choices,
a romantic,action movie, Titanic.
or,
a horror movie,The Maid.
And i had a really bad feeling for that.
Cause obviously,my class would go for the horror movie.
And sure enough,they did.
Well,one thing that i realised during the movie is that,
i did not scream.
It was a surprise though.
Cause usually,i would scream at horror movies.
Well,during this movie,i did not sream.
But instead,i shut my eyes real tight,and covered my ears
when the scary part comes.

hmm..i shall skip all the way to the first aid exam.
Well,here's a good news.
I've pass all my test! (:
I passed my bandaging,transport of casualty (TOC), and my CPR!!! (:
hmm..i shall skip the first aid exam too x)
I'm sorry but i did mentioned that it has been a long day for me,
and i'm really tired.
And i think i really need a rest.
Well,the exam ended around 6.40pm
and the bus dropped us at Jurong Point.
By then,it was around 7pm i guess.
There was a long queue for bus 30.REAL long.
And i was way at the back.
Then bus 154 came.
Since bus 154 came first,i might as well get on it.
When getting onto the bus,
Guess who i saw?
He's a good old friend of mine,
and he's none other than Clifton! (:
We chatted a little on the bus and the bus reached the stop.
And off i went! (: (: ( :

Alright,that's all for now folks,
bye! x)

Busy,busy,busy.

2009-10-24T03:35:00.000-07:00

Okay,this 2 weeks things are really going to get busy for me.
Let's talk about what happen today first,alright?

okie,first,i woke up at 7.10 in the morning,
and i was dragging myself to the washroom.
I washed up and was getting ready to go to school (:
When i got to the living room,i saw dad playing the wii xp
Dad told me that he wanted to practise the table tennis in order to win my brother in the game.
Well,if dad really want to beat my brother,i think he had to work extra harder.
My brother is really gifted in playing those electronic games and stuffs like this.
So,if you want to beat him in this kinda of stuffs,
seriously,you really really have to work extra hard for it.

So dad drove me to school,
and i must say,i had alot of fun today!(:
Before the workshop,we had games with our group and some others.(:
First we had dodge ball(:
and my group was the first to throw the balls at other groups xp
well,i tried to shoot at Yao Hui
but man was he fast.
But then,its ok(:
Cause Syahmi managed to hit Yao Hui off guard (: (: (:
And,nice throw Syahmi XD
Next round,i was in the court.
The first that i noticed was someone,getting ready to fire the ball at me.
And he's none other than Yao Hui (:
But fortunately,he missed me xp
Unfortunately,another person got me,and i was out x)
After the dodge ball game,we played cling cling.
well,from the start of the game,
you had to find someone and both of you have to cling onto each person's arm.
And i partner with maisara (: (: (:
This game goes like this :
everyone will get a partner and cling on each other's arm except for 2 person.
then one of the person will have to tag the other person.
ok let's make it easier.
Person A will have to run and tag person B,
and person B will have to run and cling onto someone.
ok,let the someone be Person C.
When person B cling onto person C,
the partner of person C will have to run and find someone else to cling.
And the person A will try to catch him/her.
I really had alot of fun in this game (:
But i ran countless of time xp
Cause the my partner got cling for numerous times x)
Then we did the Billy Banjar thing.
Its really enjoyable (:
And trust me,once you try it,you would want more (:

Then we went to the workshop and the trainers were really funny x)
We had games and activities and there were alot of learning points behind it.
I think this workshop is great.absolutely great.
I've learned alot of stuffs from them.
Later on,we had a 10 mins break and elroy told me that esther ma'am wants to see us.
I was selected for next year's first aid competition.
I was in the home nursing team! x)
After that,we went back to the workshop and continue with the activities.
And after the workshop,i still have one hour left before St John ended.
So Elroy and I went back to the SJ room.
We practise on CPR again and corporal Krystal said that i'm good with my CPR
but just needed to project my voice louder.

Yup,so that the end for today's post! (:

Owen : sorry couz,i can't go,i have my first aid exam next tuesday.
Jeremy : sure (: but i'm not really sure if chester is going.He said he's busy this week.
perharps next week?

Singapore River

2009-10-22T02:07:00.000-07:00

Hi ya peoples! (:
I know,
its been a long time since i had really put my heart into updating my blog.
But,hey,its the exam period.
But okay,
i admit,even if its after the exam period,i still did not put alot of effort in it.
So now,i gonna whip up a good post.

Today,school has been real fun for me! (: (: (:
Its extremely fun.
We went to Singapore River for our Math and Humanities trial.
Unfortunately,we can't choose our own groups.
But then,my group wasn't so bad (:
I'm group with Yao Hui,Ryan and Reena.
The guys wasn't so naughty and such,
so i was kinda relieved when i knew i was grouped with them (: (: (:

When we reach Singapore River we were brief again on what to do.
Well,every group would receive a handphone for the colour code zapping.
But too bad for the guys,
cause the phone could only zap the code,
and nothing else.
I think its better this way.

The rule about the race is like this:
Each group is suppose to use the given phone to zap the code
and figure out where is their first location.
then go to the location and verify with the gamemaster if you're at the correct location.
If yes,use the phone to zap the station task.
Complete the task and zap the code for your next location and figure out where it is.
To be serious,the math questions are real hard.

Yao Hui had been running,but the problem is,
he's a fast runner.
The three of us were trying to keep up with him,
but,we're way back.
when we went up a slope,i ran and finally past Yao Hui.
haha,that's because i stopped for awhile to conserve my energy.
I made sure that my battery is charged to the fullest XD

Our first station was the victoria memorial hall.
The math question were really hard.
We learn to use a clinometer. 0_0
Over there,
we met a large group of japanese students with age around 16 to 18.
i guess.
And Nicole been's crazy about the japanese guys there.
i shall come to this later.
Second station,the boat ticket booth.
And the next station,Sir Stamfort Raffles statue.
Over there,we saw the ice-cream man.
And i was like, oh, yes! finally!
Miss Zariney had...
Oops.I can't say, its a secret between miss zariney and my group.
But Miss Zariney's really a nice teacher XD
I mean,all the other teachers are nice just that miss zariney's better.
Over at the statue,we were eating and solving the task questions together.
Ryan was eating but a small bit of the cone drop on the ground.
Then miss zariney said " I don't know him,let's go cassandra," (pretend to look away)
haha. xp
Our fourth station was at the Asian Civilisation Musuem.
Hmm..the questions here is easy but Rong Zhou kept trying to see my group's answer XD
The last station was at the Anderson Bridge.

Finally,we've completed the the race and went back to the UOB plaza.
I'm not bragging but i have to admit that my group is really fast.
Everyone's is supposed to be back at the plaza by 11.45am sharp,
but my group reached there around 11.10am.
So that means we still got alot of time left to play around!!! (:
At first we wanted to go macdonald's
but Yao Hui said that it is going to be very crowded,
so we ended up sitting on some stone seats,
facing the Singapore River,looking at it and we chat about elevators. xp

When we are on our way home on the bus,
Nicole said that this trip is worth it as she saw alot of handsome japanese guys.-.-ll
Next monday,we're going to chinatown,little india and kampong glam.
till then,
bye!

Excited.

2009-10-18T20:49:00.000-07:00

Hi ya peoples!
i'm really excited about school tomorrow!
Cause tomorrow we have D&T lesson!
Mr Heng said that after the exams,
He would bring us to the D&T workshop to make some souvenirs!
Eeek!
so excited.
Mr Heng is such a nice teacher XD
I kinda like D&T now.
Its so much fun being in the workshop (: (: (:

Today,my brother's friends are coming to my house.
They are nicholas,jia hao and wei nian.
Wei nian is Wei kang's younger brother.
Yup,they've all came for the wii.
But too bad,the wii's out of stock so they have to wait until
they have the stock again and then we'll buy it.

Sorry but gotta go!
Bye! (:

wii

2009-10-16T17:08:00.000-07:00

Today,my parents are going to buy wii!!!
But the bad news is, it's out of stock.
My brother wanted to buy the wii at the place where my aunt bought it.
Apparently,my aunt check its website and said its out of stock.
so,later my parents might be calling up the shop and ask whether if
they still have it.
sighs..

He's been waiting for PSLE to end for such a long time.
Now it has ended but the wii's out of stock.
Hope he won't be disappointed.

exam's over! (:

2009-10-14T07:38:00.000-07:00

Finally,exams over.
Phew..
hmm, let's talk about the test papers.

English : very difficult.
Maths : very difficult.
Science : very difficult.
History : very difficult.
Chinese : very difficult.
Literature : very difficult.
Gosh! i'm doomed.
How am i going to do well knowing that the papers all difficult!
Ok.i really don't want to talk about this.
I'm really very worried about my results.
tata!
i'm outta here !

Student councillor

2009-10-02T04:49:00.000-07:00

Today,school's been fun.
Extremely fun.
We had the farewell assembly for our seniors.
the secondary fours and fives (:
The assembly was great.
It was really great and fun.
Too bad we didn't have this kind of farewell assembly when i was in lakeside.
Oh well,

School's been great for yesterday too (:
Yesterday's history quiz,
i scored 19/20 xp
I really like history.
It's really fun to know what the people in the oldern days do.
Miss Zariney said that more people choose geography than history
when they move on to sec 3.
But i wonder why.
To me, history is so much easier than geography.
for my geography, i got B3
and for history, i got A1.
See the difference.
that's why i'm so definitely gonna choose history than geography
when i move on to sec 3.

For term 4 math class test, i scored 24/30.
Hmm,next time must work harder. jia you!
For chinese term 4 class test, i got 84/100.
Hmm..deproved. i had to work harder!!!

During recess,a senior came to look for me.
He's a student councillor.
At first i was wondering why he was looking for me
and i was wondering if i had done something wrong.
It took a few seconds for me to actually realised that
i was nominated by my teacher to become a student councillor.
I was kinda shocked cause mr faisal never told me about this.
The councillor that came to look for me is my group leader,zhi xuan. (:
i'm told that we'll be having a meeting after the exams.

Alright,i shall stop here now.
till then,
tata!

Three test in a day.

2009-09-23T01:24:00.000-07:00

Last night's tuition was a torture.
I was getting really tired.
Guessed it was all due to the D&T make up lesson that lasted till 4pm yesterday.
During the tuition,
Miss penny's voice drone on and on.
And my eye lids are getting heavier and heavier.
I was trying to keep awake and told myself to endure.
I managed to keep my head off the table and keep myself awake
until miss penny left my house.
That's the problem having private tutor.
There's not even a slightest chance to lie your head on the table to rest,
not even a second.

Today in school, we had three tests.
History class test, Science practical test and Math class test.
Test,test,test.
Tsk..Tsk..Tsk..
We students are so pitiful.
(*sighs)

During history lesson,we had our history test of course,
Well,history wasn't hard though.
But i do have some doubts towards a few questions.
Hope i'll get correct.
(*cross fingers)

After history,it was music.
Music lesson is not fun at all.
We have to remember alot of composers.
Yup.Its ten composers alright.
We have to remember their names,
date of birth,date of death,place where he was born,famous works,outstanding characteristics
and the music era where he belongs to.
We have to go online to listen to their famous works as Miss Joy
is so definitely giving us a test about the composers.

After music it was recess.
I went to the library as usual.
Alexis and the others told me to joined them for breakfast.
They told me not to go to the library everyday and nicole said
that if i studied too ~~many~~ much,my brain will burst.
Well,i just headed to the library anyway.

Soon,its was Science lesson and we headed to the biology lab.
I doubt i'll score well for this pratical exam.
Cuase this was what happened.
We are required to do a starch test.
Well,things are going well for me until...
until when i'm supposed put the boiling tube filled with ethanol into the beaker.
This is what i did.
Step 1 : Filled half of the beaker with water.
Step 2 : Light up the bunsen burner.
Step 3 : Boil the water for 5 minutes and put the leaf in and wait for another 5 minutes.
Step 4 : take out the leaf and put it into a boiling tube.add in the ethanol.
Now this is where the tragedy almost started.
Because of me.
After the leaf was being put into the beaker for 5 minutes,
i turned off the gas tap.
Then i took the leaf out and put it into the boiling tube and added in the ethanol.
After which,i put the boiling tube containing the leaf and the ethanol into the beaker.
Then,i turned on the gas tap and started to light up the bunsen burner.
The bunsen burner was lighted up,
but soon after,Miss Soo came to me.
She didn't said anything,and she just turned off my gas tap.
And i soon realised why.
Its because ethanol are FLAMMABLE.
Fortunately,miss soo turned off the gas tap.
Beacause...
If i were to realise it any minute later or so,
I would destroy the whole of biology lab 1.
I could have killed everyone
I should have been more careful.

Literature is boring today.
So during literature lesson,
I draw stuffs.
I drew me,nicole,choi ying and alexis.
here are the pictures (:
( P.s. sorry i won't be posting nicole's pictures.cause i didn't drew very well.)

Choi ying

Alexis

Me

Hey,i took the pictures at home.
I don't bring handphones to school,
unless on certain occasions that the school allow us to.
Who bring their handphones to school?
Raise up your hand up high.
Cause i'm gonna report you to the teacher. xp
Just kidding.Don't take it to heart.

Maths test was super duper easy.
There's only one question i'm uncertain of.
well,i completed making my own target board.
The school didn't asked us to do it,
i made myself to do it.
I was hoping that before i go to sleep,
i'll take a look on the wall.
Hoping that seeing my targets would encourage me to improve and go further beyond.
I think my target board looks kinda 'empty'
Maybe you guys could give me some comments (:

Comment on it please (:(:(:

Letter rack making.

2009-09-22T04:12:00.000-07:00

Hi ya peoples! (:
Well i'm here to post something as
someone told me to do so.
(* Coughs.)

Well,we have road run today.
Well,that's strange.
Today's road run seems kinda relaxing to me.
And the distance seems short.
Oh well,who cares about it anyway? (:

Lessons seems extremely interesting to me today,
and i do not knew why.
D&T was super duper fun today though.
I finnish making my letter rack. (:
Thumbs up for me! xp
We stayed back in school today for
D&T make up lesson,
which lasted 2 hours.
I completed my cutting and stuffs during
D&T lesson and my shaping and nailing in the afternoon (:

Around 3 in the afternoon i completed my shaping stuffs
and started measuring things and drawing lines so that i knew
where should i nail the wood together.
When i was about to nail the panil pins,
i realised i needed help to hold down the wood for me.
And the first person who came to my mind was..
Alexis.
I asked for her help but her very first expression that she gave me was a
Terrified face.
I know that look.
She was afraid that i might hit her fingers with the hammer
when she's holding down the woods.
Oh goodie,there goes my idea of getting her to help me.
Then i crack a joke.
I said " Who wants to die? if yes,come and look for me and the hammer."
Then Ching yee volunteered to help me.
wow,i didn't know she wants to die that badly.
(*just kidding)
Other than ching yee,choi ying and nicole helped too.
aw..thanks girls (:
I appreciated that.
(*sniffs ).

Well at first i don't really know how to screw.
So i asked Mr Heng.
At first, he helped me to do one so that i can learn it as an example.
When he was about to return me my letter rack,
he showed me a worried face.
Then he told me, " er..nevermind,i'll do the rest of the screwing for you."
He seems to have some doubts about something.
I wonder why.

Anyway,i've completed my letter rack
and i've brought it back home to draw and paint.
Well,when i'm completed i'll post the picture. (:

Well,as you can see,i'm in a rush.
Cause my tuition teacher is COMING.
OMG.Have i completed my tuition homeworks?
oh ya.yes yes yes.i've completed.
See,i so obediant. xp
(*just kidding)

the new beginning

2009-09-19T09:12:00.000-07:00

Hi ya guys(:
Okay i know some of my previous post is boring to you guys
but i was actually thinking of turning my blog into a place where
people come here, enjoy reading my post and leave with a value learned
instead of reading what are the happenings to me lately and stuffs like this.
I hope my blog would be a place where people could come here,
calm their minds,enjoy reading my post and leave with a value learned.
But i know some of you might be bored stiff,
so i'll also post some of the things that happened.

Well these few days school's been pretty normal though.
Nothing much happened lately.
I realised these few days i like challenges.
From the very start,i always thought i'm gonna flunk my D&T
because designing and making my very own letter rack
is something that i had never ever done before.
I've always been a scatterbrain,
messing up stuffs is what i do best.
Some of my friends think i'm definitely gonna flunk my SA2 D&T results
as the letter rack making is 100% of the SA2 results.
Even though it might seem hard for me to pass,
but i'm gonna make history.

Guess what? during the D&T lesson,
quite some number of people's ideas were rejected or needed some amendments.
But, when Mr Heng saw my idea, i explained it to him why i design it like this,
and how much quantity of wood i need without hesitating
And surprisingly,my work was approved,
without needing to make any amendments.
And i could start to work on my letter rack right away.
I guess i managed to make out my first step.

Gabriel lau yu sheng,
the name when i used to be afraid of,
afraid of seeing him by any chance,
afraid of having terrible memories being triggered
when his name is being spoken of.
My blood boils when his name is being spoken or heard.
When alseep,nightmares filled my mind,
i couldn't find peace in my heart.

But everything's different now.
Nightmare's gone,
dreams of families and friend returned to me.
Terrible memories started to fade,
leaving me with the memories of my happy childhood days.
Gabriel,this name,
seems just like so other ordinary name.
It doesn't matter to me now,
i find peace in my heart.

Cassandra Keh Xiao Ting,
realised something.
She's changing.
Changing for the better.

Everything shall start from scratch,
a new beginning.
I can't "delete" the things that have already been done,
i can't deny that the whole gabriel thing had never happened.
Because,this whole gabriel thing is a fact,a thing that had already happened.
The pain had been done.
As long as we're both on this world,we'll still meet one another some day.
And i'm gonna face it.
Instead of living in pain with the fact,
i decide to live up with the fact.
Cast the fact aside,
treat it as the past and a experience.

"God has not promised skies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow,peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labour,light for the way,
grace for the trials,help from above,
unfailing sympathy,undying love."
-Kristone

As you get better, the game gets bigger

2009-09-15T04:28:00.000-07:00

When we succeed at a little game,
we get to play in a bigger game...
and a bigger game.

When we start school,
We begin in nursery
Next we move up to K1,K2 and so on.
It's an effective system,
and the principle is,
"When you get BETTER,the game gets BIGGER."

Somewhere along the way,
people lose track of this concept.
Frank is struggling to make his car payments.
In 20 years of working,
he has saved exactly 87 cents.
He says : " If i had a million bucks, i'd know how to take care of it!"
Wrong!
Frank's current mission is to learn to save $10.
Hundreds come before thousands...
and you work your way up to the million.

Candy is a singer in a local bar
and she wants to be a star.
She says:
"If i had an audience of a thousand,i'd really give them a show.
But if you think i'm going to waste my talents on six losers, you're crazy!"
When Candy learns how to put on a show for six,she'll get twelve,
and then a hundred,
and one day she'll pack a thousand.

Life is a gradual progression.
The question is always : " WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH WHAT YOU HAVE?"
While the answer is "Not much",
nothing gets better.

The universe rewards effort,
not excuses.

Step by step

2009-09-13T03:23:00.000-07:00

Life is a bit like a ladder.
To move up,we have to fix the step we're on-
whether its work,relationships,money,whatever.
Once the step is fix,
we move to the next step.
People handle their steps in different ways:
"I hate this step-i want to be on a different one." That's when we stay stuck.
"i want someone else's ladder." That's called jealousy.
"To hell with this ladder-i'm jumping off." That is called suicide.
Whenever we are stuck,we might ask ourselves:
"What haven't i fixed?"

Does life get simpler?
It doesn't! But we can learn to handle it better.
When you sign up for planet earth,you get the whole "life class"
which means as long as you are breathing,school is in session.

We keep thinking that once we get past kindergarden,
primary school..college...once we go to work,
life will get easier.
It doesn't.
No one will ever warned us! No wonder we get frustrated.

We look at other people who,from a distance,
seem to be on easy street,
But they're dealing with their own problems..
Bills appears to be cruising.
He retires on a healthier pension- the house is paid off,
he drives a nice car,eats in fine restaurants,takes overseas vacation,
plays some golf.
What we don't know is that
he's suing his insurance company,
the roof is leaking,
his son is on cocaine
and some burglar will have his video recorder by this time tomorrow.
All of us are constantly challenged.

Another reason why life doesn't get simpler.
When things get too easy,we look for more problems.
We say to ourselves:" I can do this with my eyes shut! I need a challenge."
When life gets too simple,we start a family!
When the house is paid off,we buy a bigger one!
It's not the world that complicates our lives,we do.

Living and learning

2009-09-09T23:13:00.000-07:00

Thanks to my friends who helped in cheering me up(:
I'm fine now though.
I've stumbled across a book in my school library
and i think it's quite a ~~good~~ great book.
At least i learned something from it.

I've learned that life doesn't have to be painful
but pain is still the main reason we change.
Until we're in pain,we can pretend.
Our ego says" i'm fine."
When things hurt enough,for example,
when we are lonely enough,or scared enough,
we became vulnerable.
Our ego has no more answers,and we open up.
Pain encourages us to get serious.

It's always easier to be philosophical about other's people's pain!
We look at Jim and say: " Going broke was a huge learning experience for him."
We look at Mary and say : " That divorce helped her to stand on her own feet."
We all agree: " Challenge make you stronger."

But when our own challenges come along,
we're not so enthusiastic.
We say : " Lord,why this? Give me a convenient challenge!"
Unfortunately,real challenges aren't convenient.

It's only by going down into the abyss
that we recover the treasures of life.
Where you stumble
there lies your treasure.
The very cave you are afraid to enter
turns out to be the source
you were looking for.

Since this is a challenge,
I'll face it.

Beating in me

2009-09-06T07:55:00.000-07:00

Hey peoples...
Isn't in a ~~really~~ good mood now..
I've just read one of my good friend's blog,
who is also my harmonica junior when i was in Lakside Primary.
Probably because of her post, reminded me of the past.

Well,about her post,she wrote what she felt deeply in her heart.
About her falling in love with this guy,and apparently,
this guy doesn't like her and is avoiding her.

It just reminded me about...
him.
Well,the Cassandra you see now,
is a different person whom you know before,well,for the ex lakesiders.
The "Cass" you guys seems to know and call her,
sorry to say this but she's dead.
The Cassandra standing right in front of you now,
is a total different from the one you know.
You guys,could say that i'm an incarnation of "cass"
But i repeat, i may look like the "cass" you know,
but i'm a total different from her.
The "cass" that you people use to know,
want to know how she die?

I'll tell you how she died.
Her heart aches so much and yet no one came to help.
She tried to help herself, trying to overcome this pain.
She believe that the unhappy times will soon past,
and happiness on its way.
But, unfortunately for her,
happiness seems so far away.
Happiness never came to her.

Even though,i'm an incarnation of her,
her heart seems to beat in me.
Her desire of having him,is overwhelming me.
And to ease that feeling,
i've really thought of having him vanishing into thin air.

"Cass" is history,and i'm the living.
Why does her heart still beats in me?
Her desire of having him back,
Her laughter,
I controlled myself from laughing so much,
I tried to restrain myself from talking so much to people.
But her heart,seems to be controlling my entire body.

Just what's wrong with this girl?
When she help others,and seeing them happy and blissful,
her heart warms.
I just don't get it,
He failed to keep the promise he made to her.
He made her suffer so much,
yet, her heart desires to have him back.
Just why does her heart still beat in me?

Okay,woke up at 7.10AM today for my cca (:
Dad drove me to school,with me at the back seat yawning XD
CCA has been real fun for me today,
and we had 2 hours on our foot drill.

We learned a new foot drill today,so feel contented too XP

After foot drill,we had games.

They are so fun! thanks esther ma'am!

The game is about someone will have to act out a symtom or sign

about what illness it has.

Examples like asthma,hyperventilation,abrasion wound and such.

Its a fun game though (:

After,we had foot drill again but not for very long.

We were dismissed at 1 pm and esther ma'am ask me
if i wanted to join her and some other corporals for lunch at JP
but my dad's picking me up so i couldn't go.
Sorry ma'am.

When i reach home,i rushed head first to the bathroom

for a ~~cold~~ shower.

Cause i stink right after my cca.
After that,dad and mum said they are bringing us out.
And i do not have the slightest idea of where we're going.
when we reach,i realised we're actually going to a park,
since the entrance it says : hortpark
Well, i must say,the scenery there is really nice, ~~very~~ nice.

We took photo and stuffs.
You guys should the know the story of " Wizard Of Oz" right?
Guess what? i saw the characters at the park. (:
I took photos with the cowardly lion,the scarecrow and the tinman.
but i didn't took it with Dorothy and toto.
Cause the two of them looks even scarier then the others.
Alright,enough talking and enjoy the photos! (:

Keane, ( brother )

Me and Tinman! aren't he cute?

Cowardly lion (: seriously i don't know what am i doing XP

That's scarecrow if you really couldn't see who he is

HELP!!! Our head's gonna be chop off by a dragon? XD

Konichiwa? welcome? ha.

1 room HDB flat.

2009-08-15T08:14:00.000-07:00

First of all, i'm sorry peoples for not posting for such a long long time.Its been very long since i lasted posted sorry(: i need to tell you guys that i won't be posting often fromnow on.As you know,i want to concentrate on my studies. Kay, er...yup.i got my laptop.MY VERY OWN LAPTOP.
I'm so happy!
so happy!
so happy!
so happy!
Okay.Stop that its irritating.And now,let me just share with you what happen to me today and hope you'll learn something from it.Today, i meet up with Nicole,her cousin,Shan jie and her aunt at the jurong point library.We meet there at 8.45 in the Morning.I was almost late but lucky me,i didn't exceed the time.i was there,8.45 sharp.Just nice(: Kay,first,why do i meet them? Its because Nicole's aunt works in Agilent Technologies,and the company is doing charitable stuffs.And the thing we're gonnna do is,go to the 1 room HDB flat and help to give food to those old folks,whose children abandon them or has no relatives.When Nicole ask me if i wanna go,i said without thinking." Yes! i want!" .All the workers participating this activity will have to meet at Bukit Merah...blk 123.When we assemble there,guess who i saw? Sherilyn! our lakesider friend! Sherilyn! We just wave hi to each other.and also,surprisingly, she's in the same group as us! okay,i skip the middle part.After we're settled in our groups,we moved off to our destination.A 1 room HDB flat located somewhere in Redhill.Okay,then we moved the boxes of the truck and started moving off in our groups.Well,Sherilyn did not help to bring the boxes for the old folks unit by unit but she did help by staying down at the void deck to keep watch of the boxes.When i step into their house,I feel pity for the old folks.most of them were living on their own..their children abandon them..their house..i really don't know what to say..i could only say that my room was bigger then their flat.When they sees us, Uncle Mike,me,Nicole and Shan jie put on a very happy and friendly smile.Because Nicole's aunt told us that even if we feel sorry or pity for them,we still have to smile.Cause we're here to help them! Make them Happy (: the one that the house is very unforgetful to me is a old couple.their house,was filled alot of stuffs which i think the uncle is a "garung guni" man.their house was pile up of stuffs(probably the stuffs of what the uncle collected) and you can't even walk.There's only one narrow way down to the kitchen.because the space are occupied,they have to put their clothes outside.Worst come to worst,they didn't have any bed...Me and Nicole feel very sad for them but we still puted on our most friendly smile and gave the uncle a very nice greeting (: After the whole activity ended,we headed for lunch and straight back home.I enjoyed doing this because,despite their circumstances,some of them stilled smiled at us,and i sudden feeling came to my heart.Love.I also learn alot in this activity.When i grow up,i not just wanted to achieve my dream of doing something for mankind but also improve the lives of these old folks.So people,the most important thing that i've learn in this activity is that,the poor and lonely old folks need more than just money and food.They need accompany and also care and concern from the people around them.So people, learn from this that never take things for granted.And,BE FILIAL to your parents and grandparents (:
