Hey all! I intended to update my blog on the first day of school, but I guess I logged off my computer before I actually posted it. XD silly me!!! Guess I'll just post again.
One more thing, I'm blogging in school, during IT lesson. My teacher is busy uploading some songs for the music maraton, so we're left on our own for 2 whole periods!!! :))wheeee!!
Alright, down to blogging
The first day of school was prettty slacky, since all we did was practise for the music marathon! However, what a day it was!! We were rehersing but I felt that no one was paying any attention to me. I was really frustrated since I kept shouting to be heard over the noise, but it just seemed that whatever I did, nothing would come out of it. So in the end, in exasperation, I broke down and cried.... in front of my whole class >.< How embarrasing. I'm really at my wits end. Till now I seriously don't know how to get the attention of my group members. I want this music marathon to be a to be a success, but some are just unenthusiastic about this. Sighh..... why won't anyone liste to me? I'm beginning to think that I'm not that good a leader..... sighh.....
I really hope the next rehersal will be fruitful. I'm tired of shouting, crying and kicking up a big fuss over this project! I've done so much and I really don't wanna see it go to waste. Singing and performing in front of many in a public area has always been my dream. Sure, I do perform in public with Choir, but somehow, this music marathon is different.
Maybe my grp doesn't like me or something.... maybe they think I'm trying too hard... arh! i dunno!! darn...
Oh yeah, now for the details of my performace.
My class will be performing from 4pm -6pm on Friday. It's at Millenia walk!! hehez! Come down and support!! Oh yeah, I' also performing with the choir on Thurs from 7-7.30pm me thinks.:)
I feel like listening to a sad song... wahhhhh >>.<<
And now, Juan An is telling me about Goong Princess Hours.... I really don't understand at all. Just pretnding to understand so that she doesn't hit or scold me. She just pinched ZhenYi... She's complaining that it's very painful. Poor thing right? HAHAHAHA
Sometimes, my life is justr really topsy turby, but with frenz around, my life seems happier and more worth it.
Juan An says that I'm talking bad about her.. but I don't think I am, am I? Oh well, doesn't matter... she's just really funny. haha
That's all from me for now. I hope those wo knopw me will come support my school in this music making event!! Despite the stress, I'm still really excited about this. :)
this is Jojo, singing her way out.
Oh no! I can't find the button to change the colour of my post!!! Guess it's purple all the way.. lol

This is wayyyy boring!!!! It's a typical Monday afternoon. I'm blasting my computer's speakers, am online in MSN but no one is talking to me and just stoning.... having no desire whatsoever to do my homework. AHHHH!! I SERIOUSLY HAVE TO FINISH MY HOMEWORK ALREADY!!! 1 MORE WEEK TILL SCHOOL REOPENS!! BOOO!!!
I'm stressed up! When school reopens there will be the P.E. dance item thing...and I just remembered that I haven't filled up the form! Gahhhhh!!! Music Marathon is around the corner and I seriously have no time to get everyone together!! Guess I have to squeeze it in somewhere.
My powerpoint is only 1/3 done and it's really pressurizing since some say that it has to be handed up when school reopens, while others say that the due date was like, 3 weeks ago!! I really dunno anymore!! AHHHH!! >.<
Oh well, guess I shouldn't be so stressed up. I'll manage, eventually...
I went ice skating yesterday(Sunday). It was terrific!! We skated for 4 hours!! XDD FUN! I also managed "dance" on the ice!!!(though it's just lifting one leg and making it look graceful, hey I am still a rookie!!) I also learnt how to run on the ice!! HAHAHAHA! WITHOUT FALLING!! GO ME! XD
I've been waking up really late these few days... bad Jojo!!>>.<< I need to wake up earlier or else half my day is gone!! boo!!
Gosh it's almost 4 and all I've accomplished is my geog worksheet!! Shoooooootttt!!! Need to start on my english! Wish me luck cuz I'm gonna loose interest in homework really soon. sigh. I'm really at my wits ends.
Oh yeah! Maybe I'll let you guyz see a picture I took in the UK.
Guess who I am!!( for those who don't know me) XD
Well, Cheerio! Guess I'll update another time. This is such a boring post!! Thanks for bearing with me. Sayonara!

Hey all!! I just came back from the UK yesterday! Boy was it fun!! I neveer regretted going for the trip since it's so fulfilling. It enabled me to understand some of my friends better and I made some pretty good frenz as well! Overall, it fulfilled it's objective and I now see Literature as a whole new thing. ^_^Alright, now down to the process of my trip.The first day, we had to sit for 13 hours on board before we landed in Manchester. After getting on to the coach(you dont call a tourist bus...a bus in the UK, it's coach, bear that in mind) we went to the Bronte Parsonage. Over there was like, way creepy cuz you could see that graves filled the church yard from where the parsonage was. Though the flowers were in full bloom since it's spring going to summer, it still brought about a sense of dread and gloom. Pretty interesting to learn that your environment affects the way you write your stories or poems... hmmmmNext we went to William Worthsworth's house at Rydal Mount near the lake district. The scenery was breath-taking!! Wow! It was a totally different mood!! Th ehouse was so lively and the exterior was de best!! Lush green grass covered every floor in the gardens and bright flowers flourished. It was just so beatiful!! Hey guess what, Wordsworth landscaped the garden himself! Talk about multi talented.We retired at the youth Hostel at ampleside. Well, there was a common bathroom so everyone was qeueing to use it. So, being the impatient sort, I waited till everyone finished and were outside by the lake to shower. Oh by the way, you must must MUST go to the lake district!!! It's awesome!! Lots of inspiration can be drawn from there if you noe what I mean. Really awesome!! I got to share a room with my partner at the youth hostel and it was only the 2 of us, Whereas others had to share with like, 5 other ppl! Yup, sure was lucky!! hahaOn the 2nd day of the trip, we went to York! It's believed that it was the most haunted city in the UK. Well, I guess it is rather true, since during the medival times, many innocent lives were lost at that area. Creepy.... We went to York Minster first. The place was really grand and just so awesome!! Makes you feel puny cuz the church was HUUUUUUGEEE!! YEP ENORMOUS!! Anyways, after that we went for the Ghost trail. Some of the stories were scary, but the guide was just so funny it's hard to get scared!! AND before u pester me abt the ghost stories, I prefer to tell it to you when it's broad daylight, one on one. It's dark already! hmmm, oh the next day we went for a school visit at Mount's school, then to Cambridge. Both experiences were fun!! Errr, should I type this notion here? well..... it's a pretty biased statement regarding Oxford and Cambridge sooo.... one on one again! ^_^4th day now right? We went to Warwick castle!! Woooo!! It was soo fun! we went up the spiral staircase and watched the bird show... well half of it. HAHAHAH! We did something pretty.... naughty too.. HAHAHAH!!5th day!!Ok we went to stratford.... the birthplace of SHAKESPEARE!! gasp everyone!! then at night we watched Julius Cesear... ... well... ... due to tiredness, half of us slept a little for the second half including me... or was it cuz of the play...hmmmm -whistles-Oh the next day we went to Bath!! Jane Austen!! Roman baths!! you get the picture... last but not least... SHOPPING!!! I bought like, 2 pieces of cloths. 1 top and 1 mini skirt!! *squeals* eeerrrr, sorry.. haha! After that we made our way to LONDON!! and we watched a creepy, scary, nightmarish "Woman in black"!!!!! Though I ahve to admit that it was pretty good. Being the coward I was, I had to sit between 2 teachers... ... ... go figure me.The next day... It was what every girl dreamt of... SHOPPING THE WHOLD AFTERNOON!! YAY!! I bought 1 white top I think... haha and we went to practical all the cloths store ^_^;;;;; My fren and I are just shopping fanatics hahahahhaa. After a chinese dinner (finally!! after so many days of western food, not that I dont like it) we went to watch the Lion King!!!!!!!!! Fantastic musical really!! Brilliant act and very colourful!
7th day, we went tot he globe theatre and the workshop was really fun!! The guide was good too! then after that we went to the BBC!!!!! Really awesome! really cool! we saw the studios, green rooms etc etc. Then we saw the centre of the news station! Some of the girls from my grp played "the weakest link"! It was coool!
then the last day we went shoppping again!! Wee!! Went to a flea market and got a ring! Then went to a park for our presentation, got first prize!! Woohoo! Go shakesquard! Then went to Harrods but I didnt go in, just shopped around the area since Harrods is EX!! $$$$$$$ Went to Zara and bought myself a skirt again!! haha. After that we went to Tesco to do some last min shopping! Bought clothes and chocs before heading to the airport where we bid farewell to London. However, we all noe that this memory will forever be etched into our minds and we will never forget this wonderful experience.
0.0 I typed so much!!! Hope you all didn't fall asleep while reading this.. haha!
Here I am now, typing away. If yuou have any oppoturnity, please go to the UK, it's brillant!! bring enough cash for shopping cuz the things there are wayyyy pricey! Cheerio and will keep this blog updated as far as possible!!
God bless!!
