All because of the need to hand in my LA file, i had to rewrite and improve my poem. So. Jiaxin, if you see this, feel free to make a comment. Now it's not straightfoward. Hope that it pleases you. Here goes nothing x2
Airy Tales

Pages of magic, fantasy and imagination

Of faraway lands, towering castles,

Vicious monsters and evil spirits,

Brave knights and enchanting fairies…

Filled with fascination

Yet in a sorry state.

Trapped in the forgotten closet,

Dark and foreboding.

Covered with cobwebs and dust,

Battered, torn and dog eared,

Melancholic

Light lined the closet door,

And excitement filled the air,

A promise of freedom.

How long had it been?

Eternity.

“Airy tales?”

Taking a careless peek

At the faded letterings.

With a swipe of a hand,

It was cast away.

Forsaken.

The wait begins anew.

Dawn will come,

Won’t it?

So we chanced upon this website: testyourbrain.com. it was really really interesting! But the thing is, they have an error in the system or sth, they wont give you the report. so you will have to calculate and remember how well (or bad) you did. Habibah did it on friday, i did it today :D

The first test is focus. there's this black screen, then a closed eye or a open eye will appear from time to time. You only press the spacebar when you see the open eye, if you press on the closed eye or when there's no eye there, you get a penalty.

Habibah tried that and got at least 3 penalties XD I did and i only got one. HAHAHA. but habibah's reaction was not bad, ranging from 220 - 320. mine was 220 - 360. -clears throat- AHEM.

Then the next test was visual base digit span. they will show you some digits, and you are supposed to remember them and type the digits in after that. it will start off easy, from 2 digits to whichever digit you can handle. if you answer one incorrectly, you will be downgraded to the previous level.
Habibah could do 8 i think. i can do 9! yay! So we are both considered high average :D

After that it gets tougher! Now you have to reverse the digits. you will see each digit appearing on its own, so that you wont cheat. For me, i got 9, which is considered SUPERIOR!YAY! As for Habibah, i'm not very sure, but i think 8. :P

Then, they now SAY the digits out for you! I got a lousy 7 :(, which is of average. i remember digits by saying in chinese, not english, so that may be what caused that bad bad score. I forgot how much Habibah got though.

Same as with the visionary one, now you have to reverse the digits! I did AMAZINGLY WELL for this one! I was totally surprised with myself...i can do it up til 10 DIGITS! TEN! And it is ranked as superior :D

so then, it shows that i'm more capable of reversing than just typing the digits out as it is. -.-
How weird. Maybe it's due to my thinking too much. Oh wells.

Day 1
HOORAY! the day we've been waiting for! FRIDAY! We had our first lesson of ice skating and it kicked off with a hilarious start. and ended crazily funny as well :D This ought to be one of the most memorable experiences i've ever had. i can say the same for Habibah!

The hilarious day starts not at the ice rink itself, but right from the start of the day, in the morning. Habibah proudly entered the school in camp tee and track pants, unaware that she is in the wrong attire. In the beginning it wasnt so bad, she came to school early, so there are little people. it was until she started to walk around the school that she noticed people staring at her, looking as though she doesnt belong there, in the wrong school.

Anyway. So we had to go to the general office to borrow a blouse for Habibah, for assembly. I wore camp tee too, but i'm much more prepared than Habibah :D i brought blouse just in case! MUHAHA.

Then we boarded the bus, which is the small small kind, can only seat 15 ppl de. We joked(Actually more of Habibah and me shooting lame stuff at each other lah) and ate chocolates and biscuits throughout the journey....to SNOW CITY!

When we saw that we are nearing the science centre and going into the car park there, we were stunned. Seeing the SNOW CITY there, epiphany hit us! Mr C actually thought that we are going snowboarding instead of ice skating -.- Then the excited few of us - Habibah, Lele and me, rushed out of the bus to Mr C's car and screamed at him that the Fuji Ice palace is at the Jurong MRT. We were laughing non stop and when we returned to the bus, we were speculating what Mr C would have thought it was. One of them was at the top of the Fuji mountain. We would love to be able to travel to a foreign country really.

Then we were at the ice skating rink after some hustle. We were separated out into different groups to attach to one of the coaches. Our coach was kristina (i think that's her name o.o). and Mr C came to join us in ice skating. it's really hilarious. he was walking unnaturally on the ice and looked as though he spent a lot of effort just to get into the circle we were forming. We learnt how to get up when we fall and also how to glide forward that day. Mr C was amusing. he just moved his 2 legs and not moving forward at all, moving on the spot XDDDD. The rest of us were pro alr ;) Habibah wasnt as bad as she'd thought.

Uh. maybe it didnt do her knee too good. icky bruises. countless slips. wells. it's only the first day.
Day 2
Okay maybe i carnt remember much abt it. i think we learnt forward swizzle (wait that doesnt sound right) and how to glide with 2 feet that day. not that that helps much for the 4 of us, excluding habibah. muhaha. we were quite fine moving forward, and i was excited to learn how to move backwards. habibah didnt complete the goal of falling less than 5 times today. yikes. but it was really fun :D oh i think we learnt how to turn as well. Habibah have to work on it, really. She usually turns one full round, or so stiff that she moves straight. but carn blame her for that! poor knees.
Oh and there's this interesting auntie who was learning to ice skate. She just scolds you if you enter the centre of the rink where the lessons occur, or when you go in the opp direction around the rink, or just whatever. but she's not bad. she advised us to bend our knees more. we know that, but wells, it was a good intention.
Day 3
I think the knees were worse today. and we learnt backwards swizzle and wiggle. love those words ;D so then it was worse. and finally i've got sth to work on. by the end of it i got a little more confident moving backwards. habibah wasnt bad considering that she had knee injury. XD sounds a little serious huh. and throughout we joked and stuff. ice skating is really really enjoyable! (oh and Mr C didnt come down to join us thereafter *guffaw*)
Day 4
then we learnt to do the one foot glide. only. it wasnt too bad! and habibah's knee got considerably better. and she skates much better alr. told you you're gonna be fine! i pratised backwards wiggle somemore and gotten some more speed. the feeling is absolutely exhilarating. except when you accidentally knock into someone. yikes. the auntie kinda nagged and told me off, saying that i shld look behind me every few steps and so on. i was quite in an awkward situaqtion. i wanted to continue skating, but i cant just turn my back on her when she's talking. wells. patience kicks in. and as i continued to practise moving backwards, whenever she sees me, she would remind me over and over again. habibah encountered her scolding much more than i did though. and she commented that her nails were sharp. she grabbed her from behind just to tell her (insert sth her. i forgot what.habibah come fill this in!). eccentric.

and we had an interesting chat with Mr C
Lele: you know what we call mrs L? lai lai.
Mr C: Oh so that's what you call her.interesting.
Habibah: Dora the explorer also!
Mr C: huh? why?
Ryl and Lele: Cos her hair looks like hers.
Mr C: Oh...that's a cute name. Do i have any of those nicknames?
all of us: no.
Habibah: Got also dont want to tell you.
Mr C: Oh, interesting name! Mr got-also-dont-want-to-tell you!
all of us: -.-llll
then i experimented. Mr got..?
Mr C: Oh you calling me?
we just burst out laughing.
this is just a rough overview of what we said. carn rmb that clearly alr.

he joined us again today as well. he wasnt good enough moving forwards, and he wanted to know how to go backwards. i showed him and asked him to wiggle his bottom. i glided quite fast away from him and when i see him doing it, he just shook his butt on the spot XD. june was there as well and we just laughed. so then all of us happily skated all over the rink adn mr c was still struggling to do backwards. we really liked to annoy him i realised.

at the end of the day, he concluded this: Habibah was the -point to the head, making a click sound with the tongue- one, and i'm the giggly one. how nice.
Day 5
oh oh. today we had the test on all the moves we learnt so far. i still fail at one foot glide. i always fall into the hole ie. lift the wrong leg. lalala. doesnt matter though, i can do it. and we all PASSED! yay! XD and we learnt how to spin! i fail at that x.x habibah was surprisingly good at it. then i realised that i can only spin from the right, not the left as what the others did. and i got considerably better. but i can only spin 1 and 1/2 rounds at most. i get dizzy too easily. ryl and lele were good eh! june a little hiong lah. XD actually me too eh. but wells. it was very every interesting and fun! I miss it, but with the prospect of sch holidays coming up, it's not that bad to have it ended i guess?

Conclusion: Never underestimate the power of LAMENESS
On impulse, i sent Habibah a Chinese SMS. Here goes...
Me: 嗨英葛莉豆(pronounce it and you know who)！呵呵，我好无聊啊。(stated the reason for doing so) 怎么样，耳目一新吧？(trying to use chim chinese here) 我挑战你也写次华文SMS(so fun to challenge habibah)！好期待明天的滑冰哦(hooray!)！加油！你要穿什么裤子啊？(cos she dont have sch track pants) 中午在那里买吧？(hopefully there's food there)

Habibah:挑战我？放马过来！(-sends horses trampling on habibah- you get what you want) 谁怕谁呢！(要打架啊？！My stamina better!) 肌肉酸痛！(not bad not bad :D)怕明天滑不了。你要穿什么裤子呢？我还没决定。。。(maybe any of your long pants?)

Me: 唉，没注意到我花了不少心思给你取的名字吗？呵呵，没看到你已经发回短信了。没有关系，可以的！天下无难事，只怕有心人！(trying to squeeze in another chim term) 我呢，只好穿学校长裤咯。

Habibah: 我找不到学校长裤。为什么不要穿牛仔裤？给我取名真的有用那么心思吗？
(真的那么用心 is better...)
Me: 呵呵呵，是啊！你有什么意见！？！牛仔裤？！？你要把它撕破才高兴啊？要比较松的啦，容易滑冰。

Habibah: 朋友都说穿牛仔裤比较好。你会不会带衣服去换？午餐要自己带，在巴士上吃。

Me: 什么？！从来没有听说过牛仔裤可以穿去滑冰的，还有，午餐要自己带，早上买啊？再做化学作业，不多说了。

Habibah: 那我成功地以华语SMS了吧。加油加油！我要睡觉了，晚安！(eh. never answer my question.)

Out of randomness, i'm gonna put my LA poem up here. kinda of nothing better to do, but wells..here goes nothing!

What is it like,
To be feeling and unfeeling at the same time?
To believe yet hopelessly skeptical,
To strive without the strength to go on?

The purity of words
Spoken from the heart
True feelings
Expressed without concealment
Can they shine through,
The apathetic gloom?
The need to deceive and manipulate
Grows stronger day by day

Childhood fairy tales
Had always left us in awe
Dreaming of distant lands,
Lurking monsters and evil spirits.
Remember the times where
You put your tooth under the pillow
Hoping for the tooth fairy
to descend?

Fantastical dreams and aspirations
which kept us alive
Appears as faraway stars.
No matter the distance,
it's always encouraging,
A guiding light.
The path forward had been clear,
But are we so sure of it now?


Heh. this is more for jiaxin to read though. since she's so interested.
My own evaluation for the poem is that it is kinda scattered. No central focus. And the interesting thing is, the first stanza have 4 lines, then the next 3 each 8 lines. i dont know how i did it, but i did :D

and as for teachers comments, it was that i need a metaphor/vehicle to drive this. then there's these scribbles which i cant decipher. 0_o My LA teacher must go for penmanship.

Hope that you enjoyed(? seems like an inappropriate word to me) the poem written inexpertly by me :D
