WOOOOO
Woohoo!!!! Spain won the Euro 2008! A first-half goal by Fernando Torres gave Spain their first major trophy in 44 years after a 1-0 Euro 2008 final win over Germany!!! Wahoo!!!!!
TODAY is Ruud Van Nistelrooy's Bday!!!! One of the highest scoring ex-manchester united players ever!! Now playing for Real Madrid, Nistelrooy also plays for Holland!!! WOO
Anyways, the work is really piling on these days...Maths, English, Chinese. Until this very day, I still haven't done my 感想, lol.....Will post reviews on stuff either tmr or Thursday. Too tired now, only slept at 1:30 am last night......
I got so frustrated today. You know why? I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop outside my tuition teacher's house. And it took 53 MINUTES to come!!!! that's almost ONE HOUR!!! Well, I kept myself busy by playing with my PSP the whole time, and it kept me happy..... The government really should do something about bus number 28!!! This was not the first time it has happened, but not as bad as 53 MINUTES!!!!
Had a good laugh today, Our Geography teacher, was late to class. And you know the reason why? She was resting in the staff room....haiizzz. I think it was the second time this happened. The previous time, she totally forgot that she was supposed to be havin class with 206!! Ms. S......haiyo!!!

Euro finals!!!!
People who aren't really interested in soccer probably won't enjoy reading this...but I just put it up for fun :p
As most of us know, there are only 2 teams left in the Euro 2008.....Germany and Spain....Personally, I'm cheering for Spain, but just want to analyse the 2 sides......
GERMANY
Firstly, Germany have individual class in attack. We could expect a return from defensive midfielder Torsten Frings, who says he's recovered from his rib injury. There's also Michael Ballack in the midfield attack and Joachim Loew as their coach!
If it goes to a penalty shootout....well lets just say that Germany have not lost in a penalty shoot-out since 1976. And they have the best shoot-out record in the world, winning five and losing just one.
Now about their coach, Joachim Loew. Obviously, he prefers a 4-4-2 formation. Loew has built an excellent reputation for himself with Germany. He had a huge impact as Juergen Klinsmann's assistant during the World Cup semi-finals in 2006 and since taking over, he has emerged as a fine manager in his own right. With him, Germany enjoyed a straightforward qualification for Euro 2008, despite finishing second in their group to the Czech Republic.
I say that the man to watch would be Phillip Lahm. A good overlapping full-back, who can usually do more than his basic tasks as a defender. He has a habit of scoring from outside the box. He has proven himself to be versatile on both flanks. Also a good dribbler of the ball and has good pace to boot.
SPAIN
Compared to Germany, Spain exude style, all-round, from attack to defence. Woohoo!!! Spain's top-scoring striker - David Villa- is almost certain to sit out the game with a thigh muscle injury. So, Cesc Fabregas is likely to replace him in a five-man attacking midfield.
Now about SPAIN's coach.....The no-nonsense 69 year-old Aragones renowned for his blunt speaking and short temper, has certainly been around the block a few times, having begun his coaching career in 1974. Spain have never played dull football and they began the event with a convincing and compelling win over Russia. Aragones has not shirked the difficult decisions throughout, particularly in substituting star striker Fernando Torres. But Arragones has got the majority of his big calls right.
I would say the man to watch is Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas is becoming an indispensable member of the Spanish squad. After replacing David Villa, he made his true mark. He just wants to win it.
WAAA......why can't we get a day off from school?? I wanna watch the Euro Finals!!!!!!!! BOOHOO.....

One week down!
Well.....I got through one week of school, and it seemed like a month....Woo!!!
My muscles are still aching from training, part of the reason is because Lisa and I decided to test the limits of our strength. So, we started throwing the ball from the halfway line of the netball court and went backward after each successful throw. haha...
Today, we went on an art excursion, to KC's EMDD at the Arts House ( known previously as the Parliament House) . This was my first time going there, and my first impression of it was......it was beautiful! Unlike many other performances, there was a lot of movement involved. We had to move from room to room, with performances in different rooms going on concurrently. I heard from one of the Chinese Orchestra members that they had to play the same pieces for 18 times! Anyways, it was good for them, practise makes.....almost perfect! A spectacular thing was that the seats were right next to the performing stages, I could just reach out and touch one of the performers...
I guessed that since it was all free for sec 2s, that we wouldn't see the whole performance....and boy was I right! GRRR.....I was totally longing to see the piano recitals by 4 or 5 girls.....
It was really really obvious that the girls who performed really put in a lot of effort into their performances....especially the drama girls....
I just loved the art displays outside the Arts House, they were so cool!!!! After EMDD, Lisa, Eunice and I took a walk around the Singapore River, and we sure had fun! Especially when we took pics with Sir Stamford Raffles, trying to imitate his pose was.....entertaining. :p
TODAY is Drake Bell's Bday!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!! Drake Bell is 22!!! just gotta love Drake! :p
TODAY is also Tobey Maguire's Bday!!! SPIDERMAN!!!
Here are some of the pics we took today.....
Me and Lisa!! :p My hair is messy......
Me and Lisa in some doughnut thingy!
The Arts House....
A cool art thingy
Me and Lisa's reflection in the cool art thingy
My Sir Stamford Raffles pose
Not too sure whether this is an official piece of art
but nonetheless, I love it!!!
I know this sculpture!!!! It's so famous and cool!!!! I mean.....just look at it, the boy is literally hanging to his friend by his armpit!!!:p
okayy......WACKY!! who took that?!!? Grr.....
After that, we had took a walk around Clarke Quay, Singapore River....then we went on a fun train ride....
All in all, it was so fun hanging out with all of you guys.....EUNICE!!!! why dun wanna take photos?? see, now you're not in any pic:p
WOOHOO!!!! VAMOS SPAIN!!!! Beating Russia 3-0 in the semifinal.....it was superb! Fantastic!
Germany vs. Spain......monday early morning, GRRRR.... i can't watch!!!!
Weell, that's all for now.....Booyah!!!

3 Days down.....2 more to go!
Well, it's Wednesday.....Haizz.
Had training today, and it ended early, because VJC sounded an alarm that was something like the lightning warning. Woohoo!!! After one month of training only my arms, my legs were starting to tire....The extremely scorching sun also played a huge role in making us even more tired, I think I'm a whole lot blacker now.....But for some unknown reason, it took me 1 and a 1/2 hours to get home today, instead of the usual 1hour. Grrr......
Here's a random pic I decided to ask Lisa to take of me after training.....not one of my better moments on camera.....shoulders hunched from lugging a heavy bag around all day....but I still managed to put on a tired smile =)
Check out my new shoes!!! Woo.....Can run like the wind when i'm using them!! :p Hey....I never noticed that recycling dustbin in the corner there before....and also a used bubble tea cup at the bottom right corner.....Oh no! The KC badge on my PE T-shirt is hidden....what a disgrace....Anyway, today our form teacher, gave us a choice for our seating arrangement!!! Woohoo!! I'm sitting with Lisa and Eunice now! Truly a winning combination.....you both better not bully me since I am sitting in the middle, and the youngest too.....haha. I found an effective way of slimming down for myself, wearing Eunice's belt!!! We three simply went almost retardedly crazy in the canteen, trying on each other's belts.....it might sound mindless, but we all have our own crazy moments!!! I think I almost fell over while laughing.... =p
Oh no.....we just received a letter from the school saying that canteen food prices will be increasing.....I sure can look forward to more bankrupt wallets and people borrowing money from me in the future (I'm not saying that I mind) Groan.....
I'm going to watch KC's EMDD on Friday afternoon. It's supposed to be an Art excursion for Sec 2s, all costs covered!!! Wonder how it'll turn out. Heard from some friends that it has been fantastic every year so far.....
Wah.....why did they change our Literature teacher??? Ms Hip Hop....please come back, wah!!! (only one person will understand when I say Ms Hip Hop....coz i dun wanna say her real name).
English lesson was so fun!!!! Had to think of animal names and sounds for our respective groups......Our group turned out as fishes!!!! The sound was so hilarious....especially Chloe's!!! The whole class was giggling! blub blub bluuub!!!! Dear Lisa said that if the group had chosen Chickens.....I could be the mascot....wonder why.....
Hey Lisa......lets go out and watch a movie someday....it's so boring at home.....although i'm in over my head with homework....
Love you guys!!! =p

Back to school :(
NOOO!!! School starts tomorrow and I constantly find myself asking : Why do these holidays have to end?? I can't wait till the December Holidays.....
School Books, Teacher's dirty looks.....the list of the horrors of school go on and on. But through all this, there is one thing I look forward to in school. FRIENDS!! Yeah, i might miss the daydreaming, the endless hours of gaming, spending joyful and hyper hours with my dear sister......but I truly can't wait to see my friends.
Thinking back on it, my closes friends from school.....Lisa, Eunice, Nicole and Sofiah......have cheered me up on many dull or saddening situations( even though they didn't realise it ).
Lisa, you music maestro, sharing your amazing talent and passion for music with me, has really persuaded me to take more interest in music, instead of just practising exam pieces day in, day out. Sofiah and Nicole, all those fun times we had on bus rides home together, and in primary school!!! Eunice, sitting next to me in class, laughing at me because of my funny chinese accent....you better me thankful to me that your English grades improved!! Haha....joking joking, but I also have to be thankful to you fo the fact that my Chinese grades have improved!!
My dream idea of school would be.....sports everyday, gaming machines everywhere, chatting with friends all the time, not much teaching, no exams. Hmm.....it just goes to show how much of a lazy bum I am. Tsk!
Oh no.....I won't be able to follow the Euro 2008 closely anymore......anyways, Jiayous Spain!!!
Woo......Spain has a winning combo of players. Sergio Ramos in the defence, Fernando Torres in the Striking, David Villa in the midfield. Wonderful :p

Reviews on various stuff for June
Here are some Movie, Book, Music and product reviews just for fun.
Movies
YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN
When?
19 June
What?
This rip-roaring comedy takes funny man Adam Sandler into familiar territory. Zohan is an Israeli commando who tires of his life as a killing machine. So he fakes his own death to pursue his one true dream - becoming a hair stylist. In his new found role, Zohan becomes a hit with his customers, who queue up outside his salon for his "special services". But when Zohan's true identity is exposed, he risks losing his new found life and career.
Why watch?
Like all of Adam Sandler's movies, this one promises to be quite a laugh. There are camos by fellow comedians, Rob Schneider and Kevin James, and even a spot by diva Mariah Carey as well.
THE INCREDIBLE HULK
When?
12 June
What?
After Ang Lee's dark and dreary Hulk in 2003, this film sets out to rewrite the origins to follow the comics more closely. After being exposed to radiation, Bruce Banner inadvertently transforms into the Hulk when angered or stressed. Meanwhile, the United States army tries to replicate his accident to give their shoulders incredible powers. Instead, they get the abomination - a larger, more powerful monster that cannot be stopped!
Why watch?
This version of the Hulk shows a more human side. The film also explores the love story between Bruce Banner and the hapless Betty Ross.
GET SMART
When?
19 June
What?
Maxwell Smart, agent 86 for CONTROL, is promoted to take down the forces of evil known as KOAS. The problem with Maxwell, is that he is a bumbling idiot! He may have the cool spy gadgets, but this guy's no James Bond. Thankfully, he has the competent yet enigmatic agent 99 at his side!
Why watch?
Get smart was a popular TV show back in the 60s, famed for his sharp wit and quirky humour. You can expect the same from this comedy that looks set to become one of 2008's biggest hits.
Books
HERE LIES ARTHUR
By Philip Reeve
Get swept off your feet with a little old-school chivalry and swashbuckling action. When village girl Gwyna is found hiding in the forest by the mysterious magician Myrddin, her life is irreversibly changed. Myrddin serves the young, powerful and magnetic Arthur, who is making
a bid for the throne, and with Gwyna's help, history will take a new and brave course. For lovers of Camelot lore, this refreshing take on the legend of Arthur is sheer pleasure.
SLAM
By Nick Hornby
Sam is just a normal North London lad. Well, except for the fact that he talks to a Tony Hawk's poster. And that his ex-girlfriend, Alicia, has suddenly declared that she's preagnant with his baby. Now 15 year old Sam has to face Alicia's snobby parents, work out how to be a dad and grow up fast. Written with Hornby's trademark lively wit and filled with unexpected twist in the plot, this read is warm, funny and smart all at once
Products
Eee PC 900
What?
A small, lightweight PC that's brimming with easy to use functions. I like: this amazingly light weight PC packs a whole range of hardware that includes an 8.9 inch windscreen, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and 12GB or 20GB storage capacitites for Windows or Linux platforms respectively - with a total weight that's less than 1kg! This tiny terror is ultra portable and connects to the internet seamlessly.
Extras....
If you're looking for a no frills PC that will fulfill your basic needs, the Eee PC 900 has it all. But the best part is that it's very affordable!
Music
FALL OUT BOY
LIVE IN PHOENIX
UNIVERSAL
Run out and grab yourself a copy of this if you're a super Fall Out Boy fan, coz it's about the closest thing to catching their live performance! Being their first ever concert CD, expect an adrenaline-charged album chock full of their biggest hits, including sugar, we're going down, thanks for the memories, and new single beat it. I guarantee you will be head-banging in the comfort of your living room starting from the very first track!
DUFFY
ROCKFERRY
UNIVERSAL
If you've already fallen under the spell of Duffy's radio-friendly hit 'Mercy', then you're going to love rockferry even more! After three years of incubation, Duffy's debut album has proven to be a polished work of art! The strong vocals of the 23-year old singer coupled with brilliant songwriting makes for addictive listening from the first track to the last. If you're into bluesy soulful music, make sure you go out ther and buy this.
Hope you find these interesting! I will be back with more reviews soon for July!!!

Fun-Filled Week!!
This week, I barely had the time to sit down in front of my computer, and I'm so relieved to take a break from all the activities, even though they were so fun!!!
The time spent with my family this week was indeed a fruitful one, and i got lots of new stuff! I think this could be the best week of my June Holidays....
I got a new Adidas school bag, Converse pencil case, New Balance sports shoes, another rubik's cube, a pair of Nike shorts, A new bike.....
We also went Go-Karting, and that was when a new talent was unleashed in me. I may have gone go-karting twice before, but I only realised now, that maybe maybe my parents were right, maybe I should develop this talent even further. The Adrenaline rush, reaching staggering speeds of up to 80 km/h, feeling the huge amount of G-Force on my body, hearing the screeching of rubber tires, playing around with combinations of breaking and accelerating.....this girl could just go on and on.....it just made me feel like I had to go back for more! There's just one problem......it is so expensive!! Will post pics later, maybe....
My cute little adorable sister has just found a new way to irritate me....hitting me with toys from minitoons! Waa...
