Ohhhhhhhhhh I tell you all, you DO NOT wanna get drenched in the rain! It was raining cats and dogs today!!! Gosh
Yeah, today I went to my friend's house for a project. We were suppose to film an "educational" video as a component in our website. So we did the video, had fun in the process as well. After that at around 3.30pm, we had to send HL to the bus stop. By then, the sky was already overcast with dark clouds. Thinking that we could take a video of the cars at the main road(since our main focus of the project is air pollution), the 5 of us went out, only JA stayed behind since she accidentally broke(but she would debate that it came off itself... haha) the strap of the slippers and had to fix it. So I shared an umbrella with my friend and we went out.
Lo and behold, IT STARTED TO RAIN SO HEAVILY!!! Plus we weren't even at the bus stop yet!! Oh gosh I was so WET!! The rain kept pouring and the wind blew the rain in!!! Good thing i got the umbrella from my friend when she reached the bus stop. However, we couldn't film. Hello, Thunder, lighting.... not a good time to film! Sigh, the thunder was scary and the lightning cracked. We all ran and screamed all the way and held to our umbrellas for dear life(though it didnt help much). In the end, we were still drenched from head to toe. Talk about a free shower -____________-
I'm so relieved that I could take a refreshing shower after I came home. Hopefully I won't fall sick. Hope my frenz don't too.... or else we'll have to take those awful medicine! Yuck!
Alright, I think I'll stop here. Have a pleasant day tomorrow and to all those with projects, good luck and may you finish it before the deadline. Bye for now! I'll catch ya all later!!

Hey guyz! I'm back to blog! It has been a while since I blogged. Pardon me, I was busy with school stuff. This week was the first week back to school. It passed really fast actually. How did I spend my holidays? Well, I was online most of the time, other than that, I had to face the terror of homework... -_____-The most memorable thing that I did in the hols was to attend Syanpse!!! It's a networking between prefects from other schools. Boy did I have fun fun fun!!! I really enjoyed playing games with the other prefects and just mingling with them! Our group(5) rox! WoOOooOOoo!! The prefects were really nice to me and I had a blast at Synapse. The synapse dance rox! I still cant get over the dance! Weeeeee... Even though it has been 2 weeks after synapse, the memories of that day will forever be etched into my heart. I have made good friends there and I intend to keep them ^_^I have the grp's contacts!!! *goes hyper*Oh golly, I should really start updating my fanfic! I haven't updated since.... last year december I think. 0_0 THAT LOOONG?!?! I did start writing the intro, but I guess I got distracted and... lost the inspiration to write. AHHH! My readers are so gonna kill me for not updating! No one has been reviewing too.... ... ... darn, gotta dind time to do it soon.I still got my chinese workbook to complete. Bah! Good thing I finished most of my school assignments... that reminds me ... I still have this major IDPW project to complete.... GAH!! I GOT LOTS TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME!!Ehh, I guess that's it from me now! Enjoy your life and good luck in whatever you do! God bless! TTFN, ta ta for now!Jojo

Hey peeps! I'm back with another update. I haven't informed you all yet, but I signed up for a Literature/English UK study trip. Guess what, I've been selected to go on this trip! Yay! It'll be so exhillarating! I've always wanted to go to the UK to experience the rich History of the country and to study about the exotic ancient poets and writers of the country like Shakespears and the Bronte sisters! My mom piled me with a list of books to read to prepare myself for the trip. Hmmm, I'm pretty excited about reading those books. Time to do it like a bookworm and dive into the books! Lol.
Although I'm pretty happy about this, I'm feeling a little upset as well. My good friend wasn't successful in the selection. She cried her eyes out when she heard that she didn't make it for the trip. I feel pretty sorry for her. She was so excited about the trip, yet she wasn't successful. I really don't understand why she couldn't go. Her Lit marks last year were pretty good and she is a well behaved girl, so why didn't she get through? Well, I guess that's for the teachers to know and us to find out. I hope she doesn't take this too hard.
Well, now I have to spread the news to my parents and ask if they are willing to let me go on this trip. After all, it's the UK we're talking about. You need to spend thousands of dollars just to get there. It is indeed an expensive trip, but a very fufilling one. Also, let's not forget TOP SHOP!! haha! :):):)
Alright, enugh of my blabberings! I have to go now. Thanks for viewing my blog! Take care and God bless! Bye!

Hey everyone! I'm glad you all could stop by to view my new entry.
I'm sure all of you are pretty bored with reading about people's results all the time, especially during this period when we rave about how we did not meet up to our expectations for certain subjects. Therefore I hope that you will not fall asleep upon reading this entry. I'll try to make it short and snappy.
I'm pretty depressed today, ever since I got to know my CA1 results. Sigh, I never thought my grades would drop so drastically from last year till now. Sure, advancing one year in education can be a challange and it is common that this would happen, but for me, I believe that I should have gotten way better results than the results I produced if only I have been more focused. I was too distracted, too complacent and thus did not put in my best. Why can't I just turn back time and take the tests for those subjects that I didn't score up to my standards.
Sigh, everyone has beaten me. I feel like such a loser. I used to be really good in my studies, but just recently, my grades just dropped. Even my english grades dropped dramatically and my good friend( my partner) even mentioned that I was losing confidence in my english. I was losing confidence in
MYSELF. I have dissapointed myself, my family and my teachers... Sure, I still managed to clinge 4 As(mind you that it's only 2 A1s and 2 A2s) out of the 9 subjects, but I still didn't meet my expectations... ...
I know I shouldn't dwell on the past anymore, that I should really focus on doing well for CA 2, 3 and the final year exams. I'm going to push myself till I see more As on my report card. Until then, I'll still continue to push myself to ensure that I secure my good marks.
People keep telling me that I shouldn't push myself too hard, but I really can't help it. Without any determination or perseverence, an athlete would fail to complete the race. It is the same for my studies. I really have to do well.... ... I really have to... ... sobs!
Look at the time, I better be going. Sorry if I dampened your mood today. I didn't type this entry to upset people. Please accept my sincere apologies.
With regards,
Jojo

Hi peeps. I'm back. Guess what, today's my birthday! the class sang me the birthday song two times today and everyone sang loudly for me. I feel so touched. To 2a2, thanks everyone! I really appreciated it! It really brightened up my mood. Love you guyz!! To my other friends who wished me well wishes for my birthday and for those who remembered, thanks everyone! that meant a lot to me! Love ya all! To all those who read my previous post, this would be a little different. The emotions are stirred in here and different feelings are beggining to overcome me. Recently, my parents have forbidden me to talk on the phone with a friend of mine... a special friend of mine, stating that I was wasting my time. Instead I should be studying everytime I have the chance to. Not talking to my friend is one thing, but I'm not even allowed to sms! So now I'm doing everything discretly, hoping that my parents would not find out. I.hate.this! I really hate being so secretive around my parents! It's not fair! I feel even more confined. Things have gone way too far and there's nothing I can do to reverse it. Sigh, why can't I just be released. I need some space to breathe. The big truth of all this? I'm really tired. I'm tired of trying to hide everything from my parents, I'm tired of their constant nagging, I'm tired of feeling trapped. At least they still let me sleep over at my best friend's place. Now, my form of escape is school. Strange but true. My friends understands me better. Sure, I know that my parents are trying to protect me and all, but can't they let me GET a LIFE. I will still obey them and listen to what they have to say, but I just want my freedom.Today's my birthday and I'm glad my parents still remember. Indeed they are loving parents, only they don't want to let me go. I don't require them to give me any birthday gift at all. All I want is for them to give me some freedom... ... That's what I hope I will get from my parents.It's late and I haven't finished my math homework. Plus, I have to stick to the "go to sleep by 10pm" curfew that my parents imposed on me. That's all I have to say for today. Believe me when I say that I'm not angry at my parents, just... annoyed of the constrain... When will I be able to be free? When will I learn to fly without being so dependent on my parents?I know God will guide me through my life and teach me valuable lessons, so I believe then that this will come to an end. Ciao for now, I hope you have a pleasant night ahead. If it's bright and sunny at your side of the globe, then I hope that you'll have a pleasant day ahead. This is Jojo signing off. God bless

(5th march, morning)Hey all you bloggers and visitors! Sorry I didn't update my blog for so long. I was a little caught up with my personal issues and school work. The usual... as usual. (Oh by the way, that blank entry there was an accident. I didnt post anything up yesterday. I just accidentally clicked the "Publish post" button. I don't feel like deleting it too. Haha.)
Anyway, I'm here to give you all some advice. Listen to your parents and even if they restrict you or confine you at home, not letting you mix with your friends, boys or girls, just accpet it. They're doing the best they can to help you get your future right.
I always thought that I had no freedom whatsoever, especially ever since some personal issues arose. I always thought of it as negatively and cried myself to sleep almost every week. I hated being locked up, not being able to even go out with my female friends. I was so sick of it. It just wasn't a small matter anymore.
I had a hearty talk with my dad yesterday. It suddenly dawned on me that my parents just want me to grow up properly, to enjoy my teenage life to the fullest. Of course, they want me to do well academically. Just think, if they were not so strict, do you think I can be who I am today? The answer is, no.
I thank God for my parents for they know what is best for me. However I do wish that they would let me go out more often. Maybe I'll get that opportunity when I'm older, preferbly 17. A little bird can't be caged up forever, we have to experience the real world and be more independant. Although I shed tears almost every night now, I hope that I'll get over this ordeal. My parents know what is best for me, therefore I have to do well in my studies to please them. We live our lives to succeed in what we do best. It doesn't have to be of excellent standards, but of what you can make out of it. I hope you understand what I'm talking about. May you succeed in life. God bless.
