I like singing myself silly, meaningful lyrics, red, baking, smileys, cakes, rum & raisins, taking long walks, observing people, reading, change of heart, baby blues, running, making new friends, lying down and watching clouds go by, chatting with friends, traveling around singapore, eating good food, glass jars, daisies, swings, daydreaming, going to places I've never been before, the smell of rain & anything pretty.

{Sunday, January 31, 2010}
I hate knowing its a bad day tmr before it even comes.
Wow, the end of January, what have I been doing for a month?
10:05 PM
I got a feeling
{Saturday, January 30, 2010}
That I'm going to blog only once a week.
Oh god, I don't even have time to rant about my days in school and by the time the weekends come, I just can't be bothered to rant anymore. Anyway, life in school has been rather mundane and I'm either spending my afternoons sleeping at home, training or having H3. It just means I've no time, no life.
H3 has been really fun though, no complaints. I love the subject, yes its tough, especially having to last for 2 hours without a blink or a yawn but I love how I get to learn so many things each time. It's been really enriching!
Yesterday's training left me aching today. Calfs, thighs, hamstrings, butt zomg but yes I like it cause I feel like I'm training something. I just need a full body massage to go with it that's all, hah.
Looking at baking blogs is tempting me to bake all those lovely goodies but no, I can't, cause I have no time and most of the time, I end up eating most of the stuff I baked, I become an unhealthy pig. :(
Looking at the J1s having fun at their orientation makes me miss my J1 life. God, it was so awesome I couldn't ask for anything better. Now I'm stuck nowhere half missing the past, half floating in reality.
Honestly, I don't want to look back and wonder what the heck I did at the start of this year.
Okay, I'm off to look at baking blogs, can't resist them. :)
10:13 PM
Mentally drained.
{Saturday, January 23, 2010}
Hello world.
So this week's been packed to the brim. SAT, trainings, Game On were the only things revolving in my world, I couldn't care less for anything else, it was just too much to think about. So for the past weeks I've been reaching home at 9pm/10pm and by that time all I could think about was my bed. Nevertheless they were right, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I finally survived the week.
Yesterday's training was fruitful, I'm aching from it now, hamstrings, calf, back, thighs etc. I had wanted to read SAT last night just to burn some midnight oil but I fell asleep before I could even light the candle. :O
So I woke up this morning at 530 to pack my bag and get ready to head to ACJC for sat. How funny, stalked this guy who was carrying a SAT book. I assumed he was going to AC as well but in the end he didn't and I alighted with him. -.- Managed to find my way in the end though!
SAT is an endurance test. The whole test took 5hours; including breaks, instructions, test and all that. Now that I think of it, I can't believe I managed to complete it. By the time it ended, I was too drained to feel the relief. Now all I hope for is a good enough score.
Headed for lesson before meeting up with Jo at BK to study. I guess it was okay, haha, quite proud of myself for completing some work because after SAT I wasn't expecting anything more. Honestly, I thought I deserved a good rest for the rest of the day after taking SAT.
I'm really wishing for a chicklit in my hand now; its been a long time since I relaxed on the sofa and read a book. Adding on, I haven't been baking for ages! :( Gosh, I'm turning into a nerd.
So now its 1012, I'll go blow dry my hair a little and read my favourite author's book. :D She hasn't been writing any new books, I'm sad. :(
10:00 PM
D:<
{Sunday, January 17, 2010}
I don't know what I did with my weekends. I was supposed to study SAT but wth, I haven't studied for the whole 2 days. Now its like sunday night and I've just found time to start. :( I'm damn screwed and I'm pissed off at myself for that.
Please god let next week be okay, I'm dreading it like crazy but I really need it to be okay. Ohmygod either I break down and end up in tears or laugh crazily cause we did it.
PLEASEEEE LET IT BE A SUCCESS. THANK YOU.
Anyone who needs a game on registration form just come and get it from me!
9:02 PM
hi qianwen this is huikin(:
HUIKIN HAHAH WTH I SAW IT! Lols, and you'll nvr believe what other things have been searched before.
12:28 PM
I've got to let it go
{Wednesday, January 13, 2010}
& just enjoy the show.
So OPEN HOUSE today, thought I'll be able to reach home at around 2pm but guess things never go as planned so its past 9pm now but I've yet to achieve half the things I plan to complete by today. GO QIANWEN GO! & funnily, I shouldn't be sleeping too late tonight cause training tmr is at night but there's biology test on friday! :(
Actually, I didn't really want to blog but after seeing hk's post, though short, I realised how stressful life is going to be/is. We're going to have 4 trainings each week from monday to thursday and I don't know how/ whether I'll survive, especially with my bad right ankle, shit ass, why can't it heal by itself. Like we had night training yesterday, so when I reached home it was around 10. Did a bit of work, and fell asleep on bed while reading genetics of viruses. Woke up at 140am and felt rather refreshed so I continued my work till 3am before hitting the bed again and wake up at 6am. Okay, so I'm not going to lie, it felt good doing work in the middle of the night, but I can't be tempted, if this happens continuously, my sleeping pattern will totally go haywire. I am going to consider sleeping after night training and waking up early in the morning to study. I think it will be better.
So I've got a lot of things to do and I promise myself not to procrastinate, I must not and shall not! I'll clear my list and be organised, I can do it even if it means sleeping lesser. Rawr, speaking of which, kah and nat commented that my eyebags are terrible. Are they really? :( Everything will go smoothly, work and netball.
So yes, 加油，陈芊文！加油！(Imagining Ji Cun Xi shouting for me, heh)
P/S: My chinese wen is not that wen but I'm too lazy to find the right one and replace it cause 1. It takes time 2. Long search, the word doesn't exist in dictionaries.
Byebye, don't expect my blog to be consistently updated, I'm really busy, aren't we all?
9:13 PM
1st day of school.
{Monday, January 11, 2010}
Okay, so first day of school was really slack, nothing much but chem tutorial, maths test and Mr Ang's farewell.
Chemistry tutorial was slightly boring, I think I was too sleepy, but still managable. Maths test was okay, just really sad over the fact that I didn't have even time to change my careless mistake. Mr Ang's farewell was really long with all those speeches! I guess the only fun part was standing outside SRC with my classmates, Mr Ng and Mr Ngoh waiting to wave Mr Ang goodbye. Funny things always happen when you put Mr Ng and Mr Ngoh together, guess I'll miss Mr Ngoh as my bio tcher! Shall not divulge details in order to protect Mr Ngoh's live. Hahahs.
Canteen was horrid, no food and I ended up eating prata rather unwillingly. :(
Just bought the SAT book, rawr, SAT test in less than 2 weeks and I haven't start on anything except to buy the book. -.- Qianwen you utter own.
Less than 45mins to complete my part for Econs ppt, shall go do that and then mug a bit of SAT later. Rawr, biology test on friday, I don't know how I'm going to manage. Someone please tell me its not counted?
& yes, here's a shoutout to those who are having their SAT test in May and haven't bought the book yet.
IF you don't mind getting a secondhand SAT book, please buy mine from me! I'll sell it to anyone at $20 (price negotiable!). & I promise to take care of the book (I'll only be using it for less than 2 weeks!) and I'll only use pencil to write in it. Trust me, you don't want to pay $34+ for the book when you've alrdy paid $120++ for the test. Leave a tag or sms me if you are interested! (:
Yeap, I really do want to sell it out after the test. It's a win-win situation, I gain some $ back and you pay much lesser for a book that you'll never need again after the test.
Till then! (:

Resolutions
{Sunday, January 10, 2010}
So yes, my resolutions came a little late but there's a good reason for that. I timed it well to make sure it starts when school starts.
So 2010 is going to be a BIG year for us and here are my resolutions:
1. Manage my time well, plan everything I want to do everyday. 2. Manage my finances and save $! 3. Work harder and harder for netball, there is no such thing as limits. 4. Do ALL my tutorials and not wait till my teacher goes through them, especially Econs! 5. Stay healthy! 6. Ace all subjects in As.
Well, I don't know whether I'll be able to achieve them but I'll sure go the extra mile to do so.! So I've completed most of my homework, now all I need to do now is to mug maths. I know starting now will most probably not get me an A but given my current mood, its a good thing I'm studying. Hee.
Well, at least my table is packed, I've got a new bottle, my uniform is ironed. Yes, I'm more or less ready for school! Hit me with the workload man!
:D
Oh yes, can't wait to see my classmates. I missed both class outings this holiday, I miss seeing my classmates! :(
8:20 PM
Tired but still lovin' every moment
{Friday, January 08, 2010}
So netball camp finally came to an end. One word, it was -imitates kah hsing in charade- GREAT. (: I'm not going to give much details now, will do so tmr if I have the time. It's been a really good experience and I think I definitely am closer to the juniors now. :)
So since the last time I blogged, my list has been reduced to this:
4 exercises in I&I :I Lesser Blanks in maths and S&S II Chemistry (I have no intention on doing this because as stated, only U,S,E graders need to complete it!) NOT DOING THIS. Econs project-1970s (I did my part and we're kind of done?) Econs article review (double dang! I don't even know what to review about. Still double dang.) Mug maths. :( Mug SAT. :( :(
Okay, so perhaps not much progress but I've been busy, going to school every day for the last 5 days for camp, centad and carnival preparations. Gosh, it's been a little hell to think that I only have 2 days to finish all my work. :/ I still need to book courts and get a new bottle by this week.
& rawr, saw someone carrying my bag today, sadness. I'm so going to personalise mine! Quite excited about open house! (:
Okay, shall blow dry my hair now.
11:28 PM
Invictus
{Thursday, January 07, 2010}
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
Invictus means unconquered in latin. (:
& the reason why the reporter says you have got 62 000 people supporting you is cause they were playing in Johannesburg, which has an estimated population of 62 000. (:
I find the movie rather inspiring. (:
10:04 PM
What a great way to start the year :(
{Sunday, January 03, 2010}
I'm starting to feel stress over the pile of homework. Currently I still have plenty left to be completed and seeing the SMB msg left by Mr Ng certainly did not help. How cruel, maths lecture test on the first day of school. I certainly have no doubt that this year will be entirely different from last year.
Now I'm wondering what I did for my whole holiday because currently I left only 3 days to finish my work, get new shoes and a new bottle. I am so not ready for school. In fact, I'm amazed by how I could forget to get shoes for school. -.-
Homework left:
8 exercises in I&I :(
Blanks in maths and S&S II
Chemistry (I have no intention on doing this because as stated, only U,S,E graders need to complete it!)
Econs project-1970s (dang!)
Econs article review (double dang! I don't even know what to review about)
Mug maths. :(
Mug SAT. :( :(
Netball camp starts tmr, I need to psych myself up for it and think about what I want to achieve from the camp before I sleep. I don't feel good about it because I highly suspect I kind of sprained my right ankle and I don't know how to survive for beep test tmr. Especially since I'm still havign flu. What a great thought, okay, must be positive!
So of course, till I finish my hw I will not be spending my time to make a new blogskin. Live with this people, I think its nice though a tad too plain.
Sharing this with you guys, I love her voice. (:
It's 1007 now, I'm deciding between criminal minds and letting my head ache over maths.
9:52 PM
2009: What it did to me
{Saturday, January 02, 2010}
A year has ended. I think this year has been more eventful and memorable than any other years and unlike usual, I treasure every single moment in 2009 and I think this year has got to be the year of changes and growing up.
365 days can do wonders. Just looking at our juniors now and us, I can feel the big difference a year in JC can do to you. We seem more mature, more worried but at the same time content and happy with what we had and have.
2009 started with me announcing my success in keeping my resolution and a promise to tell you what was this year's today. Well, it was not eating doughnuts and I think it is successful although I ate a mouth at qr's hse that day. I will not consider that though, cause its not a full doughnut, hahahs. Have decided on next year's and I'll tell you guys once again, 365 days later.
January: Confusion Why you may ask, its because I was still choosing between PCME and BCME but after a year, I know now that I have made the right choice. How could I not? 09S7G is one of the best thing that happened to me. (: & it was also the month where I worried about SMTP and looking back, this seems extremely stupid because I don't give a hoot about it and I'm so glad to be in 09S7G, I can't imagine being in a SMTP class! Netball training then was rather fun but I wasn't surviving well as well. I was still confused over what to do and there was this fear of the seniors, especially Mel. (Oh... whatcha do to me... oh...) But given a choice, I won't remove these experiences, because they are the nutrients that made me grow to who I am today.
February: Fun Definitely, because of orientation, eyecandy, apollo, fac dance, pop and everyone. Feb has got to be our most fab month and I certainly love every single day of it (only 28 of them!). It's the month that I decided on BCME, got to know OG22 (we were mad about it!) and 09S7G. It was the month that I felt glad about not being in ares and love apollo so much I screamed "Why are we so pro, we are Apollo!" as loud as possible. It was also the first time our class achieved something (class flag!) and thinking back now, I'm really very proud of us. I mean seriously, how many classes are there in HC and we WON the class flag?! :D
Wargames was madnessly crazy but fun at the same time. The field transformed into teritory and we girls built up defence by hooking each others' arms and standing close. Guys went out to fight and we did whatever we could to protect our shirts and bucket.
POP was the best moment. I can never forget how we stood there and danced together as a faculty and the moments before the winner was announced. I could see it in everyone's eyes. How much we wanted it, and then how we roared after we got it. Everyone was jumping, some in tears, some with wide grins, going around shouting yes yes, yahoo and hugging each other. It was epitome of the year.
March: Content It is difficult for any months to be better than Feb but March was good, being my birthday month and what not. I was still in the midst of bliss, perhaps not up at cloud 9 but still pretty high. & why not, I had a good reason to go to school everyday and I got to see what I want everyday. I had good funny teachers who brought joy to the class. Snrs who were lovely and angel mortal was fun. I had classmates to sulk with me over the pile of homework we were unused to. More important, I had netball camp and bday celebration at jq's hse. Netball camp is the love. It was the one camp that made me feel that camp can do wonders. Over the three days, I became closer to my team mates and my senior, especially mel. I sincerely thank the camp for that. & how could I forget, it was the month I got dunked into the pool.
April: Hiding to survive April marks the start of seasons and more homework. It was the month of fatigue, from juggling hw and seasons. More importantly, it was the month of struggle. It's the month I was thankful for having hk with me. That at the end of the day, we had each other to talk to, we had each other's shoulders to cry on or rest upon. Simply put, it was being there for each other because we knew how it felt. This was the month of hiding feelings. The month of pretending everything is okay so that they'll be okay. I'm just glad I survived.
May: Fight to the end May was the month of fight. It was the most important month of most of the sports CCA. It marks the end of the seasons, the end of the fight and the welcoming of the results. For us, it was the month of goodbye and tears. Post Season Party was memorable, I doubt I'll have anything like it again. As we sat in the circle for the whole night talking about our feelings, I felt even closer to the team than ever before. It was the month we treasured what we have been through so far, being proud of the team and thanking god that we had each other. Like sharon said, it doesn't matter that we didn't win the championships, all that matters was that we won each other over. & I'm so proud that we did.
This team happens once.
June: Break A break at last although I believe I spent half of it in the reading room studying for blocks. I spent my June with friends and it was eventful. Sleepover at wq's hse. Studying together at the reading room while trying not to get distracted. It's the month we did our lovely hcnb board and trained really hard cause we were pumped up.
JULY: H1N1 Yes, I think nobody will forget that our sabbaticals were postponed because of H1N1 and this was the month where the attendance in class was damn low because people were falling sick one by one. I rmb myself falling sick so terribly I lost weight (which I gained back alrdy and even more. :/) and missed school. It was terrible, especially since I got it from Idk who. This is also the month when I realised someone commented that we were gl and I, momentarily, decided to stop ecing. & of course, racial harmony day! Our class' enthusiasm in celebrating it won us the prize. Love my class for doing random things.
AUGUST: Funny fun. Around this month, PW was starting to become intensive but I rmb having a lot of fun during our Kbox outing. We sang like crazy, jumped on the couch, went really wild and just had a lot of fun. :D It had got to be the best kbox moment. :) We also had our GEMS and went out to watch UP together. :) It was also the month I funnily 'lost' my wallet and was upset that I lost mel's note at the same time. I'm so glad it was just a mistake and mel's note is now safe and sound. Hahahs.
SEPTEMBER: Waiting for hectic We had beep test in september! I rmb how badly I had done for it, hahas. I also had fun studying sessions like the one with hk and nat and our debate over erasers, that was funny. The most important event had to be MAF. Spent it selling ice pops and with team. Lights up was brilliant and I had a lot of fun, especially seeing the ex hwachies coming back to sing, dance and cheer with us. It was great. :D
OCTOBER: Minutes to freedom Start of october was terror, promos! I rmb studying till 2am for biology and writing crap for gp and econs. Results proved them to be really crap, hahahs. We also had slpover at kx's hse and SCREAM'09! I rmb scream was damn fun. I like watching horror movies in school with fellow schoolmates although most of the time I was covering my eyes, hahas. The trail was interesting and it was fun to do it with my team mates. :D & of course, those rehearsals for OP. :/
NOVEMBER: Finally The end of OP! & the start of breaks, rests, slack and stone. Spent it mostly on trainings, outings and at home. We went to sentosa and had fun playing frisbee with strangers and just enjoying ourselves.
DECEMBER: The end Went to Msia for 5 days, training, shopping and what not. Made a lot of $ for SL at JP and simply had a good holiday. It was good life. Not forgetting, our farewell.
2009 has been a good year. I have tried new things, been disappointed, cried, smiled, understood the joy of pain and success, gotten my heart broken and repaired, changed my perspectives, made new friends, treasured old ones more, screwed things, made things better and definitely lived it to the fullest.
So here's to 2010, may it be a fruitful year for you and me.
