Are we ever gonna learn to fly?

gym and lame names

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:05:01 GMT

THE MORE I USE LIVEJOURNAL, THE MORE I AM CONVINCED THAT I HAVE A VERY LAME LJ USERNAME. HAHA. But whatever. I like how my Livejournal looks (: I went to the gym today to run on the treadmill! I ran 2.4km. Or so said the treadmill. I think I prefer running the normal way on a track or something because running in an air conditioned room feels funny. I took quite a long time trying to figure out how to start the treadmill up. I don't feel any healthier but at least I know I did some sort of exercise... I feel accomplished cause I've been saying that I want to exercise since the holiday started and this is my first time. So I shall do that more often (: Then I wouldn't be like a couch potato. I really wanted to go for prayer today but I told my mum that I'll stay home and I had trouble waking up at 7am :( I wish I could wake up anytime I want and feel super energetic. It's not good that I'm sleepy almost 100% of the time and how I hate the sound of alarms.

By the way, I like this video:

And Puck. Haha.

Game over!

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:50:28 GMT

I feel like a little young kiddo blogging so excitedly right after camp. I think I do this every year since my first camp but I think that camp was reallyreally great this time(: I felt God like how I felt Him during Homerun camp four years ago. Though the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and feeling the presence of God it isn't really the key in our spiritual walks, it kinda wakes me up cause I can literally feel the realness of God. I thank God for speaking to me sooooooo clearly (I was kinda shocked) through Ps Ben as he prayed for me. I'll always remember what he said to me and it shall serve as a reminder if I fall down again. I'll feel very comforted just thinking about it again. This time, I proudly say that all my expectations for the camp have been met. I wrote them all down before camp and now I can strike them off :D Camp's now over. I strongly agree with Ps Ben about how it's so hard to stay focused after camp because all the distractions that we have in the world. I'm so gonna try limit my computer and TV time before they eat me up.

I've got 4 more random things to say:
1. My favourite question someone asked me during camp was Kenneth (the small one) asking me if I'm JC1 or JC2. HAHA And he was very shocked when I said I'm Sec 4! It's not that I want to look old but I've had too many people asking me if I'm Sec 1 or 2 and doubting my age when I tell them that I'm actually 16...
2. I saw a shooting star during camp when we were having discussion in the parade square! (: I don't know if it's called a shooting star but it was reallyyy pretty. Stars are my favourite part of nature.
3. I was really happy that my friends came down for Bulletproof (: It meant the world to me.
4. The P6 kids were really cute, funny, competitive at Pepsi Cola and very very encouraging. Glad that I got to talk to some of them. I always want to talk to P6s cause if no one talked to me when I was P6 I might not be blogging about this now. Hahaaaa

I think I want to sleep now. I'm strangely tired. Ok. Maybe because 5 hours of sleep is not enough for me.

prayer

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:56:36 GMT

It was really nice to pray once again with church people during prayer meeting just now (: God's been answering many of those prayers and it's really awesome to see His hand move as we ask boldly and expectantly. I'm excited to see what He has in store for us during camp and Bulletproof! Two more days to camp. Jo-Ann and I were just talking about how excited we used to be when we were in Sec One - counting down the hours to camp and calling each other to tell each other that camp's coming. It's funny how as the years go by, we all become less excited. BUT I'M STILL KINDA EXCITED! Just not THAT excited. Haha.

I was talking to Amelia yesterday and she told me she's going to watch Boys Over Flowers. When I proudly told her that my friends told me about that show being a Korean version of the meteor F4 show, SHE SAID,"YOU NEEDED SOMEONE TO TELL YOU THAT?! :|" Amelia Cheng! You hurt my feelings! HAHA Just when I was so confident of my great knowledge about a Korean show, she had to say that. And when I told her I watched an Asian movie, she asked if what I watched was Wendy Wu Homecoming Warrior WHICH IS A DISNEY SHOW ABOUT ASIAN STUFF. Haha I'm not that lousy ok! I watched A Korean movie (My Girlfriend Is An Agent) IN KOREAN (Ok, with English subtitles) and I thought it was nice (: I should totally go look for a Hong Kong drama to watch soon. It was one of my holiday plans but I haven't started yet. Glee's too interesting!

Last thing. I realised that many people's blogs have very sad posts. Like venting all their frustrations and pinning down all the sadness on an online journal. Some cussing about how life's been a bitch and how they regret doing things they shouldn't have done. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against writing sad stuff. (I do that too!) It's just that there are TOO many sad blogs to read online. It's hard to find blogs with happy interesting writing. I guess life isn't always good. This is a very strange post. It's a long post with 3 paragraphs about 3 different things. Nevermind. I should go pack early for camp and look for small shampoo and soap bottles. HAHA.

traffic

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:06:33 GMT

I can listen to this song a thousand times and not get bored of it. Now I know why people tell me that I listen to lullabies. It's ok, I love it anyway (: Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison's voices are so awesome together. When I listen to them sing, I feel like I'm gonna melt or something. Haha. The power of broadway people.
Today's been a very confusing day. And I kinda want to talk to someone about the traffic in my head but I don't think anyone'll understand because I don't even know what happened. Bleah. Plus I felt very lonely today and I don't know why. I found myself staring into space a million times and using the usual phrase "i'm tired" as an excuse. Argh something's wrong with me today. Oh noo.

glee!

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:21:25 GMT

Bernice, Geraldine and I baked some chocolate chip cookies and a really nice mud cake today from scratch (: That was my first rather successful attempt of baking stuff without using cake mix or cookie mix. So yay us :D They made me bring home almond essence and jello powder so I shall make some almond jelly soon. With longans! Heh. I'm waiting for Glee to load now. I think it's my new favourite show! (Cause So You Think You Can Dance comes only twice a week and i'm so tired of waiting for it) Haha but I STILL LOVE SYTYCD (: Glee's good too. We should all go watch it. PLUS, I FOUND THE PERFECT WEBSITE TO WATCH IT ON!!!! But it loads reallyyy slowly.

I think I haven't written anything in such a long time that I find it really hard to type my thoughts or a simple recount of my day down onto this blog. It's tiring. Haha I posted so many more entries during my O level exams. Now I'm just really lazy. Haha yeah so i'm not going to continue anymore. BYE FRIENDS (:

Post Os

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:17:07 GMT

So... O Levels are over and life's been great. Except for the lack of sleep. Heh (: I just did my nails and my favourite colour is blue! Not baby blue or sky blue or navy blue but nice royal blue.

And i've got nothing to say. Except that
I FEEL LIKE EATING DUCK RICE :/
And I don't know why. Ok, off to watch my favourite show!

two steps away

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:23:35 GMT

Love love love Stacey Tookey!! She's done amazing choreography since Season 1 of SYTYCD Canada (: & I'm starting to like Legacy and Kathryn too. Whoo hooo! But I'll miss Mia Michaels though Travis Wall and Stacey Tookey's works are reallyyy good. Why did she resignnnnn? I feel like I'm talking to myself everytime I talk about So You Think You Can Dance. How sad is that?

Bleahhh anyway, I'm done with almost all my papers! Now I'm left with MCQs and Chinese. I CAN DO ITTTT!

And so it is, just like you said it would be

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:30:37 GMT

My mum sent us an email that has the title "Booking Confirmation" and I was delighted because I thought my parents FINALLY ended the loooong procrastination and have decided on a place to go during the holidays. However, I was disappointed because I found out that the flight confirmation is for the holiday that my parents are going on (again) on Friday. I really want to know where we're going at the end of the year! My parents love to book flights last minute. It's like their hobby or something. Currently, we've got many suggestions on places for a holiday but they comment "too expensive" or "no flights available" or "not worth it". Mannnnn.

So we had Physics paper 2 and Geog today. It's a really scary day because I've never ever done well in Physics and my Geog grades fluctuate. It can be really good or reallyyyyyyyyy bad when I don't study properly. Let's hope this time's the good one because I studied! Except for Geog of Food which I studied for my first and last time today. Haha yes I know what you're thinking. But I didn't attempt the food question because I thought it was quite challenging :/ And I don't know what to expect for Physics!!!! It's the scariest subject ever. But I KNOW I DID MY BEST THIS TIME. I'm sure. So if I do horribly, I'm just really terrible and Physics and I know I'm never gonna do it again. At least I finished my Physics journey off trying my best and not giving it up. I still have Paper 1 to study for sooo... I hope I do ok!

I keep talking about exams. That's cause I'm not done with the O levels. I've come to realise that during this period of time, I can talk to no one at all and not feel lonely. I like to close the door and be alone with my books as my companions. HAHA or or TALK TO MYSELF. Maybe I've been driven mad by the exams. But of course, I've chosen not to talk to no one soooo I go on MSN. HAHA. SO DON'T SCOLD ME IF YOU SEE ME ONLINE. I've got Lit and Bio up next! Those are my better subjects so I've gotta study now. BYE (:

P.S: I'm very hungry :/ But laoshi (dance) said that I grew rounder. And OMG yes I think so too. I might get heart disease or something soon. I haven't been exercising at all. Unless you count walking to school and back as exercise :P I will stop eating junk food and be healthy.

take home chef

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:05:06 GMT

I love Curtis Stone and his show - Take Home Chef. Made me smile after a long and tiring day of papers. Haha yay.

ss and chem

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:10:57 GMT

My eyes are closing and I'm falling asleep :/ SS and Chem don't go well together. There's too much info that I've gotta stuff into my 4GB brain! :( I can't wait for the exams to end. 13 more days! Celeste Teo you can do it! 13 more days and it's time for piano lessons, SYTYCD, Glee, outings and movies! Yayyy. And oh yes I can't wait to continue reading again. My post it note has been stuck at the same page of the novel for ages awaiting the day I finally flip the page to give it a new spot.

Then again, I think I'm too ambitious. I've got only slightly more than a month to do the 1001 things that I've planned. Haha.

funny physics file

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:14:44 GMT

I was looking through my Sec 3 Physics file and it's such a horrifying thing to look at. I failed every Physics test (except for one) and they're as bad as 6/25. HAHAHA. And I think I kinda guessed and tried my luck for all the MCQ questions cause the answers that I picked are all rather off.

I'm so glad that I'm an improving student :)

If I could turn back time, I'd stay awake during all my Physics and Amath lessons and be a very hardworking student. Thinking about it, I seriously slept Sec 3 away thinking that Sec 4'll be better. So very idealistic. Too bad I've got no time machine that could transport me back to 2008 to relive my youthful Sec 3 days so I'll just make do with my pea-sized brain and work with my mighty God to conquer my O levels which start next week. Thanks Sec 4s who aren't taking Os for the reallyyyy sweet note you all sent through mail(: Love you all foreverrrrr!

P.S I HAVEN'T WATCHED SYTYCD THIS WEEK! :O

Chem is not EZ

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:48:54 GMT

I think I watched Nathan Trasoras' audition a few thousand times today. And other videos too. I can't wait for him to get into the Top 20(: Haha. That aside, I've been doing Chem and I realised that I'm extremely bad at it :( I need help. I have no time!! O Levels are in 5 days time. Exciting. I can't wait for this whole thing to end cause I want to watch Glee!

Today is Bernice's birthday. So we went to Swenson's to celebrate + gave her our power packed present :D We met Lisa! Then, Geraldine and I made her buy us grape gummies >:)

Happy Birthday Bernice! :D

don't

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:52:04 GMT

Dear friends,

Please don't tell me that I wouldn't be able to get into a JC or that my Prelim results suck. Even though it's the truth, I'll get very demoralised and I wouldn't want to study anymore. Please tell me encouraging things even if it's a lie.

Love,
Celeste

(Bleah I sound so lame and insecure. Don't worry i'm ok :D)

500 days of summer

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:50:39 GMT

I just watched 500 Days of Summer and I really liked it because it's. Real. So different but so true. One of my favourites this year(:

I'm tired and I can't believe I went to watch a movie when O levels are in 11 days. Heh. It was a last minute thing. I checked the movie timings at 7.00pm and realised that there was a show at 7.05pm. So I went to watch it with my sisters. Ended up sitting in the second row and when I came out, I had neck aches. HAHA.

Oh and I also can't believe I'm going back to school everyday. 2 people said that I'm hardworking today :D

crescent is my favourite school

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:56:09 GMT

The day when we must part,
May Crescent remain in our hearts

I can so vividly remember the first few days as a Crescentian, when we were first taught to sing our school song. We laughed at it because it had the word "gay" in it. We said, "It's the first day of school and they are already making us sing about the day when we part!" while nodding our heads in agreement, giggling heartily at the awkward new song we were made to learn. Today was the day we had been singing about all along. I sang the same song the last time as a Crescentian. As much as I've complained and whined about the work that we get as students and the really long list of rules we had to follow (which includes some in which we thought were unreasonable and lame), I love Crescent!!! I think that this post sounds so unbelievably unoriginal and cliched but I'M GONNA MISS CRESCENT :( All our stupid lame adventures and jokes, laughing at teachers and making their lives miserable. All those memories will be deeply etched in my brain and will not everrrrrr go away. Unless I get senile.

While we were sitting in class, those memories just started flooding my mind and I started to cryyyy like crazy. Memories of: Crescent Dance. Sec 1 days when all we did was laugh at people, eat fast food and take neoprints. Sec 2 days (my favourite year in the whole wide world!!) in which we tried to study harder for our streaming exams, did SYF, how we went to Holland V and Jenna's house every other day. Sec 3 days when we complain about school everyday and sleep during every lesson. Sec 4 life - how we try to do our best, how we feel tired 99% of the time, AYG, cry over results, support one another, study with one another, how we had to step down from CCA and going to Ion all the time. My English isn't exactly at it's best state now. I've got too much to say chunk into this space!!

But there's one important thing I want to say!!!! And that is...
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW I HATED MATH IN SEC 1 AND FAILED AND HAD TO GO FOR EVERY POSSIBLE REMEDIAL. TODAY I GOT THE BEST IMPROVEMENT AWARD FOR EMATH (IN MY CLASS) WHOO HOOO. AND MR TAN, MY SEC 1 MATH TEACHER WHOM I USED TO THINK WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I THOUGHT MATH WAS BORING IS NOW MY FAVOURITE ENGLISH TEACHER (: HOHO.

Yay! I love Crescent forever & ever. To all juniors out there:

TREASURE YOUR TIME IN CRESCENT!! TIME FLIES TOO QUICKLY!!!!!

I love to sleep

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:11:56 GMT

OMG IT'S FRIDAY!

Ten random things in point form :
1. I've learnt to treasure sleep. It is extremely precious
2. Mr Tan YH's very nice cause he wrote us encouraging notes(:
3. Mr Tan TY's nice too cause he gave us lollies for children's day :D
4. My teachers are nice people and I'm a very horrible student
5. I used approximately 129372791492 foolscap pads this year (poor trees)
6. As much as I hate going to school and doing all the stacks of homework that are taller and heavier than me, I'm gonna miss Crescent like crazy when we leave next Friday :(
7. I am growing fat (i'm serious)
8. I can't count. I need a calculator to calculate 48/4.8
9. I have many mock papers calling out my name at this moment
10. I should go do my work now

you make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:30:49 GMT

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY :D
To all my awesome friends and myself:
Jia you with all the schoolwork/mugging! (: hang in there I know we all are going mad but it's gonna end soon! VERY SOOOOON! One and a half more months and we can go and dance like fools, watch many Hong Kong dramas or SYTYCD episodes and go to the movies like Tom Wingfield everyday. You can also play the victrola/glass figurines if you decide to be antisocial like Laura. Whoo hoooooooo

Linda Chung and Lam Fung

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:48:33 GMT

I think I've been pretty happy these few weeks (: I haven't really felt particularly sad/angry/super annoyed over anything. Although I spaced out quite a lot cause I felt tired. The only times I cried were not cause of exam stress/sad or moody thoughts but because I WATCH SAD SHOWS ON TV. I tell you, I sound like some TV addict these days but I'm only watching one show. And I found out that I actually think the show is quite drama mama. I'm watching it only because I like Linda Chung and Lam Fung. HAHAHA THEY ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER! Just like Chelsie and Mark! REALLY. Which couple (besides Chelsie and Mark) can be cuter than them? HAHA oh man I sound like a psycho. Jo-Ann says I have bad taste and that I'm not born in Asia (cause I don't watch any Asian shows) SOOO I'm here to prove to everyone that Celeste Teo is no angmoh sai! :D

Career day today was quite fun. I looked like an office lady. (You can check out pictures on FB haha) Nice people told me that I looked like a lawyer and the evil ones told me that I looked like an OFFICE CLERK ): Charmaine's best cause she told me I looked like Chang Zai Xin. HAHAHAHAHAHA THANKS CHARMAINE. We did the DISC quiz and had etiquette classes and I think the person giving the speech almost fainted at our lack of good manners and etiquette. Haha too bad. Tomorrow's results day. Let's hope my mood doesn't change tomorrow and I will remain calm and happy even though I feel very sleepy. OK I have to do SS now BYE(:

so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:32:30 GMT

I'm listening to Lifehouse. Cause I watched the trailer (and the movie) for the Time Traveler's Wife today and I totally loved it. The trailer had the song Broken by Lifehouse. I think that's the first Lifehouse song that I got hooked to. Haha. I think Who We Are's my favourite Lifehouse album :D Actually I'm kinda sleepy now I don't know why I bother blogging.

Life after Prelims has been great. I went shopping yesterday (for the first time in a long time, I actually enjoyed shopping and bought stuff) and caught Time Traveler's Wife with Jo-Ann this morning. I also watched SYTYCD Season 6 Phoenix auditions yesterday and Tang Xin Feng Bao. (I FOUND OUT THE NAME OF THE HK SHOW!) After YF, I went for dinner with the Sec4s and we spent 1.5 hours sitting outside the Kiddy Palace at Toa Payoh talking about our favourite childhood shows and whatnots. It was really interesting but it also means that I did not do any work at all. I should start soon. I feel like I'm a big fat slacker and I'm committing a huge crime by going out all the time and not studying. GUILTY! Ok I'll try my best tomorrow to really start on TYS exercises. For Math. I'm extremely weak at Math so doing Math TYS will help me improve right? Yes. Celeste is a hardworking kid. OH do you know that everyone's aiming for 6 points and when I tell them that I'll be extremely happy with 10 (or below), they look at me as if I just told them that I keep a pet cat at home. That look of terror and tremendous shock just sends shivers down my spine. Haha. Why? I thought that goal's already rather unrealistic...

I've been extremely forgetful. My brain reserves space only for things that are useless and that I do not need. It retains information like bad memories, embarrassing incidents, moments when I felt extremely down or the funniest things that people say or do. And I can never seem to remember to do important things like Melanie's birthday cake, exam info and handing in my Chinese homework. I think my brain's memory space is smaller than my 4 GB iPod Nano. Save meeee. I'm just spamming random things here. Now I'm out of things to say so I should go sleep (: I'm really sleeeeepy. I feel my heavy eyelids weighing down and blurring my vision. Goodnight friends.

i so wanna watch a movie

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:09:32 GMT

Today I read my blog and I realised that it's truly one of the most boring blogs in the world. I almost fainted while reading this. Like. What do I blog about? I'll tell you what I blog about. I BLOG ABOUT HEADACHES, HOMEWORK, EXAMS AND DIARRHOEA. HAHA. HOW EXTREMELY DUMBBBB! No wonder no one reads this thing. Hahahahaha. It's ok. I like to talk about exams so I'm gonna do so now: Prelims are almost over. Except for Chinese tomorrow. Which I am retaking. Means Prelims are over for most of my friends already. Except for those people taking Higher Mother Tongue and those retaking their Chinese Os (like me D: ) Scold me. I'm not doing any revision. I'm lying front down on my bed with my hands stretched out typing this post. I can hardly breathe because the pillow's in my face. Haha OH NO I CAN'T BLOG ANYMORE I HAVE TO GO TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE NOW!!! Means I can't study again. It's ok I get to see my POPO and I can watch the HK SHOW WITH HER HAHAHAHAHAHA. BYE FRIENDS I KINDA SOUND LIKE I'M CRAZY. BUT I WANNA WATCH A MOVIEEE I WANNA WATCH A MOVIE. HAHA AND I'M THIRSTY.

wasted day

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:28:20 GMT

I kinda wasted my day away today. I spent my time sleeping and watching a Hong Kong show. At least, I THINK it was a HK show. Cause the voices were dubbed on Channel 8. I haven't watched Chinese shows for too long. My TV has been on Discovery Travel and Living mode for too long. I believe that watching Chinese shows would help improve your Chinese. So it's not THAT bad that I decided to spend time watching the show. Ok I have to study hard tomorrow!!! I have no more time to lose. My Google Chrome now has a cool pink HORIZONTAL STRIPES theme I'm so happy. THANKS CHYAN (: Oh I forgot to mention that I wasted time watching the VMAs video too. The one in which Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift. I spent a lot of time laughing at something furry in the background. OH NOOOO I STILL HAVE PHYSICS, CHEM AND CHINESE. CELESTE TEO YOUR PRELIMS ARE NOT OVER!! D:

I'M TALKING TO MYSELF AGAINNNN. I'm secretly going crazy inside. Hahaaa I'm so glad I've got one day to study tomorrow (: I know many people have 3 days free this week and I've got only 1. I feel sad for myself. BUT IT'S OK. You'll do fine Celeste, you'll do fine...

boo to a weak stomach

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:33:10 GMT

I have a weak stomach :( I hate diarrhoea and the puke-ish feeling. Sorry for spoiling your appetite.

It's time to go read my "favourite" Lit book, The Glass Menagerie. I'm so thankful that it's nice and thin with only 7 scenes (: Let's hope and pray that I'll be well enough to take my papers tomorrow...

sad

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:28:28 GMT

:(
I am depressed and I don't know why. Maybe it's the lack of good sleep...

i actually think physics is quite cool

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:09:54 GMT

Yes I mean it. HAHA after one whole year of hating Physics, I now think that Physics is rather smart (the opposite of stupid heh) That doesn't mean that I've mastered it though. I'm still kinda bad at it. This is just my declaration of a change in my opinion of that subject. I've been doing some pressure questions today and oh boy I think I'm REALLY bad at Physics. Geraldine had to teach me almost every question. Right Geraldine? But thank God for Geraldine because she was able to answer almost everyone of them. Hahahaha.

AMath would always remain the dark, evil and most horrible subject. I can never seem to get it. I just had AMath paper 1 today. I think I didn't do well. IT'S SO HARD:( While all my smart friends go,"I think that paper was quite easy... ... ...", I nod my head and pretend to agree with everything they say. Yes it was so easy, I think I might get full marks :P Ha. Ha. What a joke.

I was out with Bernice today at Ion while waiting for Geraldine and Jenna to finish their History paper. Then we went to eat and did some work. We went to Shaw but NONE OF THEM WANTED TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH ME :( I sooo wanna watch a movieee. But everyone's too busy studying :( Come on... it's the holidays? :/

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:28:09 GMT

It's been almost two weeks since the day I bawled my eyes out over my Chinese results. And today, as I thought about it, I felt like the stupidest person in the world for allowing myself to get upset over something so extremely trivial. As I put into comparison the pain and sorrow another has to go through, the O levels becomes seemingly insignificant. As if microscopic.

I should learn to be contented with the things I'm blessed with.
