It has finally hit me! I am going to JAPAN! I am going to Japan~! I mean i KNEW i was going to Japan, but right now all the EXCITEMENT has hit me!! My mum bought me a super giant suitcase for me to bring to japan. WHEEEEEEEEE!! oh my gosh, I AM GOING TO JAPAN!!! yay! i'm starting to pack. i have been wanting to pack my stuff! i LOVE packing for trips, fold and fold and just put in loads of extra clothes that i know i wouldn't need but just in case. xP

haha! oh my gosh! I. Am. So. Excited. I started jumping and bouncing around the house like wat i did when mediacorp was coming to film us. [read previous post] YAY! Huixin is coming too! whoopee. i mean, i knew that before lah, but so fun! get to go wth friends! yayyyyy!!!

wah, two days holiday all got taken up by chao ji bian bian bian and tmr having the Japan Exchange preparations. It's next MONDAY! CJBBB pre-show is on 23 may lor! we're gonna miss it, those going to Japan. We're leaving on Monday, 22 May! flight is at 11.25 pm. We're reaching Osaka at 6.25 am. haha :D man, i am SO excited. the only thing im not looking forward to is the other people who are going along as well. i really don't like my group, but i chose to do gifts, and apparently, really irritating people like to do gifts as well. so i got stuck with them. like WATEVER. i don't like them, or should i say, donch like them. well, i guess i just got to work with them, and make use of the time i have with my friends in Japan. I really hope the Home Stay programme will be one student to a family. Everyone else wants two or three lah! like, where got the host families want to spend so much!?!? on food and everything. they don't think one lah. having someone to accompany would definitely be great lah, but must be open to this experience and go and learn! which is the point of this trip in the first place lor, hor huixin?

whoopee..anyway, as i was saying, CJBBB took up the whole day, from 8.30am till 4.30pm. For lunch huixin, jocelyn and me went to Mad Jack's which was at the corner of the shophouses after turning out of the road leading out of school. We all had the set meal lah, and i thought the food was fine, but apparently the food didn't suit the tastes of Joce and Huixin. I kept trying to convince them the food wasn't so bad lah, i quite liked it, the lemon honey sauce especially, but the food not that great lah. even though it had many article reviews and stuff. i think they just printed them out themselves and paste there! haha! so after eating everything, we were all stuffed, with a huge scoop of mash potato, two fish fillets and a bowl of creme of mushroom. I was the only one that finished my soup though. Both of them said it was SUPER tasteless and just kept adding salt and pepper salt and pepper. Really! Those two arh! haha, mushroom soup was nice lor i tell you! dunno why they didn't like it. x)

so after lunch we went back, and no one was back from lunch yet! cuz we all went different places to eat. so we sort of slacked a while, then got some ppl come back! then we three raaaann around the Art room to the back or the dance studio, that whole area. then it was kinda of a dead end. so we asked the cleaner uncle then he told us to walk by the drain behind the bushes and the ledge was so tiny lah! so we grabbed onto the fence and walked back to the Design studio! hhahaha! wat an adventure man.

yup, so we ended at 4.30pm then i walked to the busstop with Huixin and our buses came together, so we both said bye and went up the bus. In the bus i was soo sleepy lah, then i fell asleep and almost hit the person sitting on my right, but good thing i caught myself in time. haha but during that time the bus seemed to take forever to move lah! maybe got jam or sumthing, i didn't see, was sleeping. haha and reached home at about 5.45pm

This week i got to watch TV in peace! you know all the must-see-tuesday shows? cuz past few weeks everytime i wanna watch then got this nagging thought that must study! must study!! at the back of my head. but it still wasn't that ahhhhhhhhhh..kinda feeling, although my exams are over. dunno why lah, maybe cuz i feel i shouldn't watch too much TV. i ALWAYS do lah, feel that way i mean, but i still watch. Not all the time, but sometimes, for drama serials those kinda shows. not disney shows. those shows i can't stand it, not doing somthing else but watching TV!!! the HORROR!! i think im confusing you. anyway haha i just don't like the thought of not doing something else useful. But exams are over! i should watch TV in peace! but i couldnt ahhaha. i really enjoyed Seoul Far Seoul Good. that is a GREAT show! everyone should watch it!! shows filming sets of different Korean dramas! so cool. and the hosts Michelle Chong and William something are so funny too lah! ahah. they were acting out the Winter Sonata scences in today's episode x)

Yup, so, i haven't packed even a set of clothes into my luggage, after sitting her so long trying to type out my blog post. BETTER GET TO IT SOON! before it's the DAY BEFORE the trip! ahhh!!!!! that would be disasterous. i hope Stella rememberes to bring her blazer and skirt and tie. i need it for the Japan trip, if not im dead. must remember. must remember.

wow. last night was SUPER fun lah i tell you.

mediacorp came to our school to shoot the chao ji bian bian bian behind-the-scenes thing and it was so cool lah! we finished our science paper at 10 am, then me, huixin and cora went to huixin house cuz we thought we had 3 hours to kill cuz the 'It's Showtime' [which is the singapore version of chao ji bian bian bian] group was meeting together at 1pm. but turns out when we were going for lunch, the lao shi didn't let the rest of the group go, and we already left the school. so we bought back our burgers and ate them in school. so, after eating, we went to the design studio, a room i didn't know of until yesterday, and started making the props, so like, we will have SOMETHING to show AND do during the filming. haha...so yarlah, then we did that from about 1pm till 5.30 and then we had pizza, which the lao shi treated us to! haha so fun lah.

Then of course all of us were like super super excited and I was super super excited, i kept bouncing around and grinning, huixin said that in the one year she's known me i was never this enthu. which is so not true cuz im enthu ALL THE TIME eh, huixin? But i was really really excited!! So everyone was in the toilet retieing [sp?] their hair and everything, washing their faces. i was the only sensible one to bring facial wash, dduh. haha no lah joking [abt. the sensible part]. yup, but instead of coming at 6 pm, the film crew was delayed or sumthing andonly came when it was gonna be 7pm i guess.

And since there was still light outside, they wanted to take the CHEER quickly, before the sun complete sets and becomes so dark, then they would have to set up the lights and stuff. so they were quite impatient and stuff, we could see it when we came out onto the parade ground already. The host was this Ben Yeo guy [Belinda told us after the whole thing] and i bet everyone could also see that he was very, you noe, star attitude i guess, and i think he was making fun of our cheer or sumthing. The cheer, btw, was super super creative, thought of by our group leader, PENNY!!! yay! Penny is super funny, and so were Stella and Victoria who came up with the MSN song, which was what our biao yan was about lah.

It was sumthing like,
Oh MSN,
wo fei chang xui yao ni,
somethingsomethingsomething
bu ke mei you ni.
Oh MSN,
ni shi wo de yi kao,
somethingsomethingsomething
bu ke bu ke mei you ni.

sung to the tune of the Jocie Kok song Bu pai bu pai! haha so funny i tell you, but we didnt get the do it in front of the cam cuz our "dance routine" could not be shot entirely with the camera.
so after wasting about 20 minutes we finally did it on the steps of the parade ground, four in a row. Our group name is dou de zhang men ren which means, Leaders of the beans but i think it was supposed to be dots cuz we're the dots! haha, penny came up with super funny actions which was supposed to be like in period dramas or sumthing where those eunuchs acted sissy and all, or probably the actions were kinda "seductive" in a funny way! haha oh my, really really funny when we saw it for the first time, especially when Penny did it! haha oh my gosh, it's like, how does she noe how to act like that! anyway, i think when we actually did it in front of the camera, it didn't turn out as good as Penny did it, probably cuz most of the people didn't bother to learn. Someone said that Ben guy was making fun of our cheer and imitating us lah, but watever!

After we finished the cheer outside, we all ran back into the dance studio where we were gonna shoot the thing. I haven't been into the dance studio before last night lah, and everyone could see that the school has invested A LOT of money. The converted the entire D & T room into the dance studio, and actually the newly-renovated dance studio hasn't been officially opened yet, but we were priviledged enough to use the place [wat the lao shi said.] But the thing about this dance studio is that, even though it had many many spotlights and a very good sound system and probably could be used to hold small performances where the audience sat on the floor, it didn't have MIRRORS!! like, WAT DANCE STUDIO DOES NOT HAVE MIRRORS!?! well. our school's apparently.

Actually before they came, we were in the dance studio looking around and jumping around (especially me) and everyone was doing spilts and stuff(???). i guess they were really excited about the dance studio too! haha so fun lah, and i knew all these people in the group. it was really fun, so we spent abt an hour in the dance studio before they came. then we went out then we came back in and we had to do some formation thing and say, " wo men shi..dou de zhang ren men!" so they put us in a pyramid formation, one row behind another, then Victoria told them we actually had planned some formation already, so we ended up taking more time, trying to do some cheerleader kinda of formation. and me and huixin we next to each other, kneeling there while they tried to do the formation, and us just kneeling there, waiting to shout "WO MEN SHI...DOU DE ZHANG MEN REN!!!!!" well, nowonder the crew was getting edgy. and im patient. if i had to arrange a group of girls who couldn't make up their mind about wat to do and being to hard, i would be irritated too.

But i think that Ben guy was really mean, even though he looked quite cute, which was why he was chosen as an actor in the first place and his longish face. And wat's up with that pair of obiang pants!?!? Although later after the thing Penny told us it was in fashion in Taiwan. And he kept getting his lines wrong! he was trying to say that dou poem. The one Cao Cao's son came up with in 7 steps or sumthing? i THINK, well it was the dou one anyway. and he kept getting it wrong, oh well, and wat's worst is that the film managerer person was acting so nice when he kept getting it wrong, unlike when we couldn't shout loud enough, or shake enough or sumthing. But i guess they have to be like that if not they actors will probably have one of their tantrums or sumthing.

So, we did wat we had to do (stuffing newspapers into boxes over and over and over again cuz wwe had nothign else to do) while the Ben guy went around interviewing the girls who were doing something, like "painting" the mouse, or reading the nosensical words Stella wrote onto the MSN screen for fun, which made no sense at all. they were like, ni hao ma？wo ai wo．wo hen hao．stuff like that! haha i bet that Ben guy was irritated with interviewing students about boring stuff and has no interest in watsoever. it's his JOB. so when he finally came to the group of us who were stuffing newspaper, we all kept quiet when the Ben guy asked Victoria questions about our keyboard. giant sized one. ahah. cuz we were super shy lah i tell you. who would dare to?? so we just sat there while victoria said everything, like how we only had two letter printed: A,B cuz we hadn't printed the rest out yet. and that they could form a word: BA

well anyway, so after they did all that they interviewed lao shi and asked us to go away if not we make her nervous, oh yeah, about 10 teachers were sitting at the door watching the whole thing, most were chinese lao shis. so we went into the darker side of the dance studio and sat down, while Clarissa Sentosa told us about the ghost in the prefect's room. it was ultra spooky i tell you, and in the dance studio, there is this super dark coner in the darker side of the dance studio where there are NO lights at all, and i dunno why, huixin went to take her torch light and we ventured into the unknown. then someone whispered, "there's a bicycle there!" and we ran out from the corner, screaming. well, we would have been screaming if the filming wasn't going on and we weren't allowed to make any noise.

when filming wrapped up at about 8.15pm, we were thinking of asking Ben for autographs, well, I was thinking of asking, so i asked Penny and then she asked the lao shi and the lao shi was like, quick!! they are going already. so they asked Ben to wait until we got some paper. and i got an autograph! but it's not really very clear cuz the pen was the pen that cannot write one unless on a table, which was quite bleagh. and elena took her phone and took a picture with him!! that lucky thing. i would have done that too if my phone was on and i had it with me. but of course i wouldn't, im not DESPERATE or anything. but so cool! he IS an actor. even though i don't watch channel 8. i watch channel 55!! hongkong dramas and korean dramas! whoo! my favourite channel! all the aunties' favourite channel!

okay, so autographs were done, Ben had left for some other filming, and everything was packed up. we were all REALLY REALLY scared now, all spooked out about the ghost and i had to go to the toilet to change lah! i was SUPER scared, afraid that the ghost might suddenly appear in the cubicle. oh my goodness, im feeling scared now. good thing i didn't have to take the bus home. my dad came at 9:15pm after fetching my mum and then we went to tiong bahru market to get supper. i guess i was really tired, i think i almost fell off the chair. and i probably stank from being so sticky the entire day.

well, and actually i had wanted to post this last night, on the laptop cuz i was too scared and sleepy to come and use my com in the library, and my idiot brother would not let me use the laptop, cuz he was playing stupid MAPLE STORY. and just kept whining and whining, causing me to use my forehead muscles to FROWN, and everyone knows NOT TO FROWN if not will have wrinkles, and i bet the more i think about getting wrinkles, the more i WILL have wrinkles. so anyway, i thought, WHY am i over here getting wrinkles when i can just get back at him by locking the toilet door so he can't use it and go to sleep, instead of staying up later and geting more wrinkles? so i went through the toilet door and left it open [ not wide enough aparently] and SLAMMED my toilet door. and went to my mirror and look to see if i had any wrinkles.

bleagh, i have been talking about upsetting stuff the whole evening, about students in school that are so destestable, i'd rather not get wrinkles over. WHICH I AM NOW!! oh my gosh, must SMILE! (((((:

okay, i took 3 hours to type this post! i hope it doesnt get lost when i click, publish post! :\
