Run baby run

PE: 

Something amazing happened during today's PE lesson. I actually managed to jog for 3 rounds on the track without stopping!! I know most of you can do that since forever, but I have really bad stamina so this is major to me! :D Achievement unlocked. 

Math test: 

Ok so the questions for the test were EASY. But I made a careless mistake at the last question and it cost me 9 marks. -.- IT BURNS. I am so angry at myself. However, I guess this will be a good reminder for me during the common tests. I AM NEVER GOING TO LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. I think my math tutor is going to kill me. :/ Not looking forward to getting the results back. :/

Anyways, I'm going to leave the house in half an hour's time for the Drama Fest! :) Can't wait to see the plays :D Go 12S20/07!

Back from Dramafest! WE WON BEST PLAY. :D Congrats to Mazi (Alice), Xiaotian (White rabbit), Steph (Snow White, and a very pretty one too), Chun Hao (heroic Lancelot) and Vanessa (lights crew). It all payed off! :) And grats to Xueyi and Rennes for their Best actress/runner up awards and Ngee Chia and Andrew for their best actor/runner up awards! Truly well deserved! :)

Well what do you know? It's almost March! I am happy to say that my arm is almost fully recovered (it still spasms/throbs sometimes so I am still on muscle relaxants). Muscle relaxants are the worst tasting pills I've ever had the misfortune of swallowing. One thing I learned from this experience is that the moment we feel that there is something wrong with our bodies, we must do something about it...before it escalates into something worse. I also realised how much it stinks to be handicapped. When my arm was badly swollen and aching, my mom had to help me get into clothes etc. Sigh.

Cyrena came over to my house today after a long time and we had a short Bible study. I am kind of guilty because I haven't been a good Christian these days. Not going for meetings and basically just not dedicating myself enough to doing God's work. :/ Shall try my best to go for the memorial this year.

Mom and I were both pmsing so bad today. Until my dad came home with a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for me. :)) YIPPPIEEEEEEE! Goodbye iphone 4S, it was good having you. Shall let my mom use my iphone from now on. She can play Candy Crush on it all day. (We are stuck at level 33)


Although I must question my dad's motive for getting me this. My iphone 4S is in perfectly good condition. He should have just saved the money for my educational expenses -.-

Anyways, I am looking forward to March. Firstly because I am going to go for the SMU, NTU and NUS open houses which I believe is going to be a really eye-opening experience. Secondly, because the Adam Lambert concert is on 8 March :)

Went to the library to study with Wang Ru yesterday. :) Gonna go for the SMU open house with her next week. It's so far man, BRAS BESAH.

The upcoming week is going to be hectic. Drama Fest on Thursday, MT results released on Friday and the guitar CIP concert on Friday night which I am quit eager to attend :) OH and there is a math test on Thursday. Grrrrr.

Tafn. Toodles :)

Reason for my 3 days absence from school

Last Friday, my arm had started to hurt. It's probably the kind of muscle pain you get if you pick up something too heavy or you sleep on one hand for the whole night. But it was uncomfortable and I wanted it to go away asap. The weekend went great, I did a lot of homework and was even looking forward to school resuming. Alas, on Monday night, after I came back home from studying with Keith, I think i was stretching my left arm around to get rid of the tension and accidentally pulled a muscle or something. Immediately it swelled. And I started to panic. I even cried a little. LOL. I went to put some ice on the swollen area but it just hurt more.

Next, I asked Wendy and Shamira for advice on whether I should use this Ketotop plaster. It's similar to salonpas but this can be used for swelling too. So after getting the thumbs up from Wendy and Shamira, I put it on. Only at one place at first.

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep at night for sure because every time I lie down facing the ceiling it hurts my arm. When I tried to sleep sideways on my right arm, i could still feel the pressure on my left arm. So I decided that I can't sleep the whole night and I went to watch movies on my computer to entertain myself. I also took some Panadol extra to help to reduce the pain. After some time I really began to feel very sleepy. So I went to my bed and sat down and tried to sleep sitting down. Pathetic eh? But after a while I dozed off and fell from my sitting position, curled up with my blanket and bolster pillow. 

The next morning when I woke up I was contemplating about whether I should go to the doctor or not. But I decided to try and heal myself. So I took up Wendy's suggestion and asked my dad to buy me Counterpain. My mom massaged it gently onto my aching parts. So I repeated this on Wednesday as well. But finally when Thursday came around and I wasn't fully healed yet, I decided to go see a doctor and get some medicine. I went to a private clinic. Pristine medical clinic.  I always go to that one. The doctor feels like a friend so I feel less scared xD Haha! His way of checking what happened scared the shit out of me. (he moved my arm around)

So yea, the doctor gave me an mc for today as well so I am going to stay at home and get well first. Damn it next week there is a physics test and I have to study for it. By the way, this post was typed with both my hands. In other words, my left arm is recovering. WOOHOO. If I had tried to type with my left arm two days ago I'd be swearing under my breath. Ok, my arm is beginning to hurt again :( Better go off. Toodles~

CNY holidays

Me not being a Chinese and all, my CNY holidays are undoubtedly not as exciting as my fellow schoolmates or friends. I am spending most of it catching up on movies I have missed out on in the theatres. Watched a movie called Friends with Kids, Gulliver's Travels, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Mean Girls 2. Which, by the way, were all freaking awesome. I think Friends with Kids is M18 though :X

Catched up on a few Bollywood movies too, namely Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) and Oh My God. These movies, especially the former, was AMAZING. I can't even put into words how great a love story JTHJ is. I am in love with the actor's character, and the actor himself. Too bad he is already married with kids, not to mention there is no way I can meet him.

By the way I watched all these movies in very good quality on Funshion. I love Funshion!! I think it's the best invention the Chinese came up with! Joking xD I just discovered that the movie Heroine is on Funshion too and my favourite actress is in it! I HAVE TO WATCH THIS.

I went to study with Keith and Wendy on Saturday afternoon, didn't have the mood to study at home. Hope to meet up with them again tomorrow or something. :) Shall go and watch the movie now. Happy Chinese New Year people! :)

Call Me Ally, Maybe

Hey dear readers! I'd like to make a personal request here! From now on, please call me Ally if possible. I know it's hard to suddenly stop calling me Jaslin or Jas but I'd really love you if you do. I have a personal reason for this sudden change and if you'd really like to know, just PM, text, call or ask me face to face. :) I'd be happy to explain my reasons.

On other news, school's going well. I can keep up with tutorials so far and my consultations with Mr Tan have been fruitful. However, I seem to be physically weak these days. My joints are aching all day :( Applied some medication, hope it works. There is PE tmr, hope I can run with this aching body of mine. NTU gave a talk at school today! Gonna go for both NTU and NUS open houses with my class lovelies. :)

OH AND GUESS WHAT? I WON A GRAMMY NOMINEES ALBUM WORTH $100 from 987FM. :D So it has the best songs of the year. I called the Muttons and they picked up my call within a few seconds. Am I lucky or what? They played snippets of songs that were going to be in the CD and all I had to do to win is identify the singers. First they played "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry, then "Set fire to the rain" by Adele and then "Where have you been" by Rihanna. Of course, identifying these amazing singers was no herculean task for me!

By the way, I miss the OGLs from my class who have been missing for the past few days due to orientation. Especially my dear Mazi. :( Been wanting to show her something from this month's Teenage magazine since last week! I am just worried that they might have missed important stuff! :O

Oh well, need to go and do my GP AQ now. Toodles!
