el diablo

After conveniently forgetting to blog for a day or two (throw up a hallelujah!), well, is there a second part to this sentence? Oh, I see, right. Tennis has been really fun. I'm still not really good at it, (definitely not a naturale!) but... it's fun! And I'm tanning... a bit. But it's a start. And I've got sunburn too - a horizontal smear across my nose and cheeks. My first case ever, and it hurts a bit, but I ... don't really care.


Tomorrow's the second last day of tennis camp, so, ah well. Maybe I'll continue taking lessons with coach. (:


PAULA, AMANDA, ROBYN, I DEMAND THAT YOU THREE TAKE TENNIS LESSONS AS WELL! i mean, so we can play tennis doubles. (:


I want to skip hockey trng this Friday. So I can have the whole Friday for tennis. Gah. Dammit.


I went cycling just now. 10pm. It's nice to cycle at night, when absolument no one is around and stuff.


Maybe I'll cycle to the tennis center tomorrow. (:

Ulcers hurt. A lot. Oh :D.


New blogskin? Oui? Non?


Si tu sais oui...
Tennis camp! It was really fun. I think I'm pretty good at volleys, but I can't do basic serfs (sp?) for nuts. The coach is really nice.


6 kids
3 girls - Me, Kathryn (sp?), Jun Ying
3 guys - Joel, Louis (twins!), Kenneth


Nah, Kenneth isn't the one living at Cardiff. (:


Everyone but me can serf. Isn't that sad? haha.


We did a bit of running/jogging and it wasn't that bad.


It's less strenuous than I thought, though.


But anyway. Fun! :)

05

So I really am in 2Faith! I found the class allocation list. 2Faith06. Au revoir 1Faith05. It seems just yesterday I was nervously shuffling into my new school, just yesterday I sat down in the hall on 23rd December with my new classmates, whom I then didn't know. 05 flew, didn't it?


I think I'll make early resolutions:

Diligently, uh, study. Even though I hate Chinese and all... -NOOOO! MUST THINK POSITIVE!-
Save money? Ahhh.
Improve in...
Studies (see above)
Hockey
Theory -winces-
Tennis!
Wait, physics! Must! Improve! In! Physics!
French!

By the end of 06, I must have made friends with everyone in the oval dais. (:
Must not spend my new year cash rashly.
Overall, become a slightly more confident person. Maybe I'll go with my dad the next time he goes to the Toastmaster's club.
Next year, I'm participating in the NaNo WriMo! Though I should be revising for my streaming at that time, yeah...
Get accepted into the mentorship program. -charges up to Roger Jenkins with army of poems and stories-
Never get below 90% for ting xie. Neva!!!111111
*cough*


Um...

Self discipline!
I resolve to... resolve to resolve to resolve to resolve all my resolutions by the end of 06.


Buh-bye, 05. I mean, one month later, yeah.


I'll give you cookies if you review my newest poem. (:
http://allpoetry.com/Poem/1658160
In preparing for the study of The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck in 2006, it is essential that you know your text well.
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Read the novel The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck.
2. Below is a list of questions about your book. Answer them with thought and careful reflection.
a. Identify at least 2 issues or themes the book deals with. In a short paragraph, show how each theme is evident in the novel.
b. Did you enjoy the novel? Why or why not? Explain your reasons.
c. Were there any parts of the novel that disturbed you or made you feel uncomfortable? Why did you feel this way? Can I say that No, I was not disturbed by any parts of the novel?
d. Could you identify with any of the characters and the situations in which they found themselves? Elaborate. Why don't I just answer No?
e. Have you learned anything from the book? (Eg. about yourself, other people or life in general?) Say no! No!
The mint chocolates I bought have proved to be... not so tasty. Tennis tomorrow! I'll have to wake up damn early, but yeah. Lots of homework not done yet, uh.


My dad actually went so far as to get a new grip for his tennis racket (which is now officially mine) and get me a pair of new tennis shoes. How extravagant, but I'll just count myself lucky. (:


I eavesdropped (and I don't deny it) on my dad's conversation with the coach and there're gonna be 6 children in all attending. Jesus, I hope I'm not the oldest one there. Hope I'm not the only girl there. Hope I'm not the only one there with no tennis experience whatsoever. Hope hope hope. Yeah and I had no idea there was a tennis center within cycling distance of my house - it's at Burghley drive! Fancy that! All this while I've been cycling around the neighbourhood, occasionally going to Burghley, and I had no idea there was a tennis center there.


I'm going to cycle there later. Just for fun. Maybe I'll drag Paula along. (:


This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
Even if I let you down
This lullaby plays on...

This Lullaby (a book by-) Sarah Dessen
Tennis camp
Monday-Friday
9am-5pm


Tennis!
Good things come in small packages, aye? Always small. Petit. Parfait. Never big.
