Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

King Friday XIII's version as shown on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

Propel, propel, propel your craft,
Gently down liquid solution.
Ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically, ecstatically,
Existence is but an illusion.
Don Music from Sesame Street:

Drive, drive, drive your car,
Gently down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a treat.

Mr. Bean in Bean variated the lyrics while drunk:

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to scream.
Argh!

Lt. George in Blackadder Goes Forth

Row, row, row your punt
Gently down the stream.
Belts off, trousers down,
Isn't life a scream?
HEY!

an extended version:

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a waterfall
Don't forget to scream
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar bear
Don't forget to shiver
Row, row, row the boat
Gently to the shore
If you see a lion
Don't forget to roar
Row, row, row the boat
Gently in the bath
If you see a spider
Don't forget to laugh
Row, row, row the boat
Gently as can be
Cause if you're not careful
You'll fall into the sea!
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the lake
Don't stand up and rock the boat
That's a big mistake!
Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teachers overboard
And listen to them scream!
Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently to and fro
Watch out, give a shout,
Into the water you go!
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream. (or Underneath the stream.)
Ha! Ha! Fool'd ya all!
I'm a submarine.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the brook.
If you catch a little fish,
Let it off the hook.
Throw, throw, throw the corpse,
Gently in the grave.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Say goodbye and wave.

A schoolyard version

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Push your teacher overboard
And listen to her scream

:D Childhood.
What we're in now is called, "Youth-hood" right?

I'm glad, i'm sooooooo glad :)
because i have an awesome class :D
an awesome class with caring and nice people.
On the outside, they may seem like that type of idon'tcareaboutyoudude-type
of person, but yesterday during maths lesson, i saw the different side of 0810 :D

I was disappointed in myself. definitely. But my friends around me gave me the
power to hold back my tears and push on. Whether it is a pat on the back,
a simple encouragement like "you can do it", or putting in effort to teach a
slowpoke like me, i felt really lucky to have these people around :)
And Mr Wee's "Zhi Ting, okay or not?" phrase is really heartwarming.
okay this sounds a little wrong. but i can see that he really cares for his
students, for us, although we only became his students about 3 weeks ago.

And while doing maths corrections, i could not help but laugh like mad
at Goh Jun Kang's crap and lame jokes. Thanks :)

God treats me really nice.
Thankyou so much :)

Yesterday, was a terrible day due to school :x
Yesterday, was an awesome day due to the 27th Council :D
Yesterday, was an enjoyable day due to Dance Ushering at UCC :D
Yesterday, was a Happy day because i finally met Tee Wan Xin :)

I'm grateful for yesterday:)

Sometimes, i really do not understand you. Your words, your feelings,
your attitude, your smile. I believe they are real.
I believe they are from your heart. Because I will always treat you
as my friend, someone whom I cherish, someone whom I am willing sacrifice
for, someone whom I really wish would be happy and strong.

Oneday, if you tell me to do even the silliest thing in the world,
I will do it for you. I will.

Happy Birthday Bernice Mok :)
18th August 2010! :D

this is life.
and we'll never get use to it because everyday is a new day,
everyday is another day :)

I've got to admit it, life is a weird journey.
Sometimes you feel this, sometimes you feel that.
Sometimes you want this, sometimes you want that.

My mum tricked me today AGAIN.
she bought for me the white long sleeve formal shirt,
and when i looked at the price, i was like OHMANOHMAN CRAZIEEEE!
S$139 EH.
so i asked her, and she went, "YA.."
then i said: Why you buy?
Mum: It's okay mah. i walked the entire vivo and found it.
Me: but it's so expensive. was there a sale or something...
Mum: (giggles) hahahh yeah, 50% discount -.-
ok wow mamamama XD
hahhah! but thankyou for the shirt!!:D
it's niceeee :D

Tomorrow is THE day we've all been waiting for!:D
I really apologise for the mistakes i made :(
Sorry! :/

And jiayou SARA!:D
tomorrow's our LAST DAY to raise the national/school flag!!!
I PRAY THAT IT WILL NOT RAIN!;D
PLEASEEEE!

JIAYOU:)
you are weird 'cause love is weird

Whenever i am feeling low
I look around me and i know
There's a place that would stay within me
Where ever i may choose to go

National Day is over, so fast :(
SHENG RI KUAI LE, XIN JIA PO! :D

but now, i'm getting kind of nervous about promos.
in the coming 50 days, it's probably gonna be filled with
PW PW PW PW PW PW PW PW and PW, and PROMOS PROMOS PROMOS PROMOS and PROMOS.
aww manzx! really dunno whether to feel excited or not.
It really SCARY! :S

This week is really hectic, again. many things going on. and i cannot
seem to do just either one of them right. What's wrong, PZT?????

What has gone a little not correct?

No matter how many excuses i try to cover for my mistakes,
it still boils down to one main reason. Lack of Time Management.
Ya i know, blogging now is probably proving my point.
But i just got to say all these out, because i dunno who i can talk
to now, at this point of time, 2237h. Everyone's so busy,
so tired, so restless.

OKAY! Now, i want to thank God for putting JASON LIM and me in the same school.
Despite his lameness and -.-ness, i think i'm really lucky to have
such an awesome cousin in the same school. Especially when you tell me
that "Life is like that. It will be over soon" in your Weird-weird accent.
Seriously, i SOMEHOW always feel like bursting into tears when you say
something like that. Like just now. hhahhaha :)
It's like my heart is dugged out or something. hahha
okay i dunno how to describe the feeling.

but, i'm super thankful. really :)

JIAYOU HAO-COUSIN!:D

JIAYOU EVERYONE!
we'll all pull through this. We Will.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY! :D



♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
We share the Singapore heartbeat, together you and i :D

Gotta Get Over You - Aslyn :)

If I wanted to believe you, I guess I could
And if I wanted to understand you, I guess I would
But my days would go blank and I'd be freezing naked
Cuz stripped of you, well, that's modestly all that I know
So I'm not ready to get over you cuz

If I gotta get over you, I gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me
If I gotta get over you, I gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and seeing
If I gotta get over you, I gotta get over Earth, Wind, and Fire
Change the soap in the shower
If I gotta get over you, I gotta get over singing this song for hundreds of hours

So boy while you chip in some understanding, I'll make a deal with my mess
And cleaning up what I WANNA BE SAYING is my first big step
When I close my eyes and everything I run into
Is stubbing me with bruises of memories of you
I'm not ready to get over you cause

Waffle house jokes and romantic comedies
Avon cologne and credit card entries
Butter on popcorn and that mercury sable
The whole darn state of north carolina
My pink leather jacket and cherry hi-c
When I'm finally without you
Can't figure out what'll be left of me

If I gotta get over you, I gotta STOP singing this song for hundreds of hours

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN :)
HAPPY 1-MONTH OLD BRYANNE LIN JIA YI! :)
pretty name right! :D
Her eyes are REALLY VERY beautiful. very very charming :)

At the birthday celebration today, i had OBVIOUSLY ate tooo much.
My stomach was hurting and it felt really ultra HARD man.
I was wishing that i could vomit everything out to ease the
uneasiness. HAHA!! :/ sorry for being so er-xin :D

This long weekend is soo scary.
so many things to do. i think it's kind of contradicting to have
more work to do during a HOLIDAY. seriously. what da bian is this man.
However, as Mr Wee ALWAYS say, No one forced me to come to jc. I chose
this path myself.
Yeah so true :)
Whenever you're feeling really *SIANZ* or restless, just remind yourself
of your ULTIMATE GOAL! :D
It can be long term, or short term. Like what you want to achieve after Promos,
or after Alevels. Sounds easy huh, but it's really challenging to be a
Master of THIS Skill! :/ hahhhhahhah:D

one more thing which i think is really important. Motivation.
Find your motivation to work hard, to want to do well, to push on
despite setbacks.
IT REALLY WORKS!!! :D This motivation can be SOMETHING (like FOOD!:p),
or SOMEONE (Qing Ren XDXD), etc.
heeez! :D

jiayou everyone :D AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


although i know deep down in my heart, i still fear you would turn away oneday,
but i will not stop, i will move on

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN! :D
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BOY!:D

HAPPY ONE-MONTH OLD TO BRYANNE!!:D
:):):):)

Long time no blog. YM YM YM :)

This blog reminds me of sooo many things. hahh :) looking back at my previous
post and the ORIGIN of Yellowmonkeyy really makes me SMILE :D:D:D:D:D:D

Yesterday was kind of an emo day :/ but thanks to KT!! :D
Thanks for lending me your ipod when i was really about to pull out all my hair!:D

Today's (070810) an awesomeeeeee day! :D
FIRST EXCO Meeting, followed by CHEER SUPPORT for the YOG TORCH RELAY! :D
hahahah! really really fun!:)
I really enjoyed and savoured every bit of fun and joy while
cheering and screaming our heads off with JAGUAR!:D

Thanks to our fantastic house captain, TAN KAIYUAN, we ended up screaming
cheering like mad when every RED car, RED bus, RED van, RED lorry, RED VEHICLE, woman in RED, man in RED, dog in RED, vehicles with the SINGAPORE FLAG
passes by! :P
it was really crazy :D

hhahhahha :D
i feel sooo blessed and grateful to be able to experience all these :)
thankyou soo much heeez!:D

We sent Jennifer, Chanel, Kwun Hin, MR LIM off at the airport today tooo :D

會呼吸的痛
作詞：姚若龍　作曲：宇恆

在東京鐵塔　第一次眺望
看燈火模仿　墜落的星光
我終於到達　但卻更悲傷
一個人完成　我們的夢想

你總說　時間還很多　你可以等我
以前我不懂得　未必明天　就有以後

想念是會呼吸的痛　它活在我身上所有角落
哼你愛的歌會痛　看你的信會痛　連沈默也痛

遺憾是會呼吸的痛　它流在血液中來回滾動
後悔不貼心會痛　恨不懂你會痛　想見不能見最痛

沒看你臉上　張揚過哀傷
那是種多麼　寂寞的倔強
你拆了城牆　讓我去流浪
在原地等我　把自己捆綁

你沒說　你也會軟弱　需要倚賴我
我就裝不曉得　自由移動　自我地過

我發誓不再說謊了　多愛你就會抱你多緊的
我的微笑都假了　靈魂像飄浮著　你在就好了

我發誓不讓你等候　陪你做想做的無論什麼
我越來越像貝殼　怕心被人觸碰　你回來那就好了

能重來那就好了

Band concert was awesome :D Seriously, it was really really really
cute, funny, memorable, enjoyable, symphonic, JUST GREAT :D
BRAVOOOOOO TO AJ SYMPHONIC BAND :D
BRAVOOOOOO TO YANGCHIN :D

and in another 5 another minutes time,
HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY CHANEL NEO! :D:D

world peace twist! :D

It's coming to a point whereby i start to fear if i can really handle everything
i have on my hands. It's normal right?

Having faith in yourself is really important.

Having faith is myself is really important. 

I shouldn't really be blogging now. but, i thought i should because i finally completed my PI 2nd draft :D 
YM has been untouched for super long! :/ as the week passes, it is like seeing time fly pass across you. Seriously, FLY. every week passes sooo fast! Except during boring parts of the day XD

And Ms Tee just handed out the booklet on the prices and rules&regulations of ALEVEL EXAMINATIONS. totally reminded me of Olevels man. It feels as if olevels were just yesterday, and tomorrow is going to be something more challenging.

We have to face all these right? I do admit my fear. My fear of being unable to cope with my studies and cca, my fear of being unable keep my results consistent, my fear of being unable to do well for alevels, my fear of disappointing my parents.
well, when i have such thoughts popping out, i would tell myself, Zhi ting you can do it you can do it. jiayou jiayou.
but somehow, it doesn't work well all the time.
Overflow of worries huh. seriously, it is not a nice feeling :/

But thinking from another perspective, no one is good in everything. And this fear of mine proves that i'm not good in having enough faith and confidence in myself.
So this shall be the chance to learn to overcome my fears.
it's like stepping into another world now :D
I'm advancing on a new journey of no-return!:D

at this point of time, i realise the importance of courage and bravery.
and i am going to be a brave girl :)

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO DA JIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

9th April 2010
my most most beloved cousin!
 


HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO KEVIN!!!!!!! :D

9th April 2010
An awesome friend who taught me how to run, how to persist, how to stay strong when I feel like giving up :)

I've not touch yellowmonkeyy for a REALLY long time! :D

Today, is already April 10th. TIME IS REALLY FLYING!!!

jiayou, it's only when you fail many many times that your chance of succeeding is higher the next time :D GO! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY! :D
happy birthday to you! happy birthday to youuu!
happy birthhhdayyy toooooooo youuuu, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! :)

A POWER song, by TIARA! A soundtrack from Cinderella Man :)

---
I feel really embarrassed, and afraid sometimes. Natural huh?
---

Anyway, today is an awesome day! I met up with Dessie!! :D
and had my FIRST year-2010-chemistry-tuition with Kenny! :D

DESIREEEE :D
nice right? fantastic. HAHAAH :D

D and i met for BRUNCH! ate KOREAN FOOD! wooo! it was really really delicious!
That meal reminded us of our secondary school days! :D
Hee this sounds as if i have graduated from bbss for at least 10 years.
Seriously, jc life is SUPER different compared to sec school life.
this makes me miss being 13, 14, 15 years old.
STILL, JIAYOU EVERYONE! LIFE GOES ON! :D
AND WE MUST DO OUR BEST! *ding ding ding!*


It will never be too late to say "I will persist"

Today, mega slack day! guess what???? I HAD NO LECTURES AT ALL!
Went for school for PE Talk, "PDG Session", council interview, co practice.
:D Well, today is definitely the ONLY school-day with NO LECTURES at all, in AJC.

Everyone has to make choices in life. Your choice determines the path which you would finally take. I have made wrong choices, and some do give me the opportunity to u-turn again. I do not know where the path i have decided to advance on
would take me to, but i will do my best in what i have set my foot on.

Today i learned something new! :D Once i've decided on something, maintaining
a positive mindset towards it is very important. People around me may say
or do things which would intentionally or unintentionally waver my thoughts.
This is when I have to remind myself about my objective and purpose to why i came to that final decision.
What others say may be right for them, but not neccessarily right for myself.

okay, till now, this is kind of like a self-entertaining and self-encouraging
post. HEE :D
here's a great song :) a soundtrack from East Of Eden :D




there are some things which are just not within our reach. how do we get there?
gooodnight :)

I WISH I AM A SUPER WOMAN.
I WISH THAT I AM MADE UP OF 100% ROCK, METAL, IRON AND STEEL.

SERIO~
hahahahhaha! :D I LOVE AJC :D
seriously, i have a strong feeling that i would enjoy my school life alotttt in this
school. There's soooo much to talk about manzxxz!! :D
ORIENTATION! CIP AT ECP! FIRST DAY OF LECTURE IN AJC! :D

1. Orientation! :D
It was SUPERB. Everyone was soooooooooooo high! :D Our OGLs were super crazy and superrrr nice!!:D And they are HAE NA! DI XIAN! JUN YANG! :D
woooooh!:D They are mega nice people, PATIENT, outgoing, caring, friendly, HIGHHHH!
My alliance was named METALLO! :D Cool right, i know! Thanks! :P
And my OG was named SERIO! :D heehee!
Everyone in SERIO are really awesome people!
It's an honour to be in SERIO manzxxzx! HAHAHAHA! :D
In METALLO, we had the greatest leader of all, WEE KEAT :D
He was sooo inspiring, and had that SUPER POWER to bring everyone together!:P
All the cheers, AJC song, Orientation song, etc, they were really nice, and
touching :D hee :D
HA! HA! HA! AJ SO ROCK :)

2. CIP! :D hahahah :D the bestttttt! The entire AJC student body headed to
East Coast Park on thursday for CIP! BEACH CLEANING!
I laughed so hard when Amos and SUENG told me that they had to pick lots of
cigeratte butts. Their facial expressions were PRICELESS :P
Anyway, I took part in another activity instead of beach cleaning.
We had to create a new cheer for our house, CHEETAH, and a mascot.
Got to many new people toooo! :D heehee! :D
Coincidentally, while AJ students were doing CIP at ECP, VJ students were
carrying out their orientation at the same venue.
So yeah. If you know what i mean :D:D

Upon dismissal after the event, SERIO gave our OGLs a present each.
At that point of time, i really felt like bursting into tears man. SOMEHOW.
There was just some kind of *mystical* attachment already. Hence, the end of orientation felt quite saddening :/

WELL, i'm still really excited about all the upcoming events and things
we are about to experience, do and learn! :D:D

3. FIRST LECTURE! :D
It was CHEMISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D hahahahah!! One thing which i thought was
super cool and interesting -- We had to buy lecture notes ourselves from the
bookshop! :D It's probably going to be the same in every JC, but
i just find it COOL la okay. Independant learning, and we really have to take
great responsibility for our own duties, tasks and academic.
JIAYOU EVERYONE! :D:D
hee!! :D

I love METALLO, I love SERIO! :D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :D

ps/ i can officially start wearing AJC's UNIFORM NEXT MONDAYYYYYYY! :D:D:D:D
