I went for the Singapore Experiential Tour, 1 of the 3 things I have to complete in order to become a Singapore citizen. I took Bus 16 from TJC to SMU, saw daddy waiting there.

We walked to National Museum of Singapore. We were given lanyards to put on so we could be identified easily. We went through this Singapore Historical Gallery. It was boring. I was also a little annoyed by the tour guide Irene's lisp and because I knew most of the things alrdy.

We took a coach to Urban Redevlopment Authority. Daddy was given 2 free admission tickets to the museum. Students have free admission so I was given any. We were guided by an older facilitator Marcia Ho. The tour there was also not very interesting. We had our tea break. I think that Singapore treats new citizens well, but is this where the tax goes?

We took the coach to Parliament House. It was damn cool. The facil was damn funny too. Quotes from her include "If you walk from here to there, you can see that LKY grows younger, has more hair and less wrinkles." when we were looking at the corridor with the pictures of the Parliament,"If an MP comes early, he can't put tissue paper on the seat beside Lee Hsien Loong, he has to follow the seating arrangement." and "There's no 933, there's only one channel which is the Parliament House." I also learned of the existence of the Speaker. The 1st and 2nd Speaker were Caucasians, 3rd and 4th were Indians, 5th and 6th were Chinese and now he's a Malay, but all males :( The facil also said,"The Speaker has to be a Singapore citizen. Now that you have become a Singapore citizen, you are one step closer to becoming Speaker. And if you do become a Speaker, do not forget me." Haha. The old Speaker's chair brought from the old Parliament House was made in 1955(?) was made by Robinsons and it's still in good shape. THE SPEAKER IS SO COOL. :D If we go for sittings, we need to bow to the Speaker before we sit down and before we go for toilet breaks.

我做了一件很对不起妈妈的事

 妈妈,对不起。 我真的不想这么做的。 但是当时我真的没有办法,我也解释不了。 我以为可以几天后就可以解决,然后就跟你说。但是没想到拖了那么久,还没解决。所以我到现在都没说,然后被你发现了。 我其实这一个月每天心脏都跳得很快,砰砰地跳。虽然平时心跳就很快,但是好像比平时更快。有些天还会有一股闷气在胸口堵住。每天都在想这个事,非常的不安。太煎熬了。这种事我再也不做了。我从现在起一定先学了才轻微的尝试。 我只能慢慢地还你了。 今天看《余生,请多指教》第26集看到顾肖,唉,怎么会跟我一样呢。太失败了

心灵鸡汤~!! Drink/read it - to de-stress.

Today was Science and English Paper 2. I thought the Science paper was the easiest paper so far. But apparently it did not seem so to the rest. English was okay... But the terrible thing was the summary shld be 150 words, but i got only 129. Sianz. Today I didn't bring my wallet again... Leading to slight gastric pain -.- These few days been addicted to some stuff... E.g playing with the tennis ball, kajiao-ing almost all my friends. Like in the Archie comics, Dilton had stuff to do for people while Reggie had stuff to do TO people. So probably I'm the Reggie kind. HAH And I've decided that a digital clock is much nicer against the background than an orange clock that drips citric acid. So there. De...
Ytd night, I was reading New Moon until 12.30am. So actually I was reading until today morning. I cried reading the part Edward left Bella. Am I amazing, insane or a crybaby? Haha. I like Twilight! At least it's easier to imagine than Harry Potter. HP has a lot of plot and is too magical and complicated for me to imagine. And that kills the fun of reading. So I've never finished reading a HP book and remembered what I read. I need to try again. There's this Team Edward/ Jacob thing. I like both of them so I can't choose. I'm Team Bella for now. But Jadine said that she hated Bella from the end of New Moon to the end of the series. So I may change team very soon. I'm currently halfway through New Moon.
