How old are you today?
I think my alarm went off.
My calender says i'm 14,
But my jumping feet are screaming "You're 5!"

What are you doing today?
Are you playing in the sandbox again.
Or swinging from store to store,
MUMMY WHERE'S MY HAIRBRUSH?!

What are you wearing today?
Did you braid your hair.
Painting on the lipstick and blush aren't you,
I can't wait for the Barbie tea party!

Do you have to leave at 6 o clock?
I know Barneys going to be on.
My brothers coming home and i need the computer,
I don't want to go i don't want to go i don't want to go!

Have you grown this year?
Use the chalk to mark where you are.
Do you see the difference?
Oh no i didn't grow!

How old are you today?
I turned my alarm back on.
My calender says i'm 14,
But my feet are sleeping so i don't know.

Michelle went "Hey macadamia" :)

EDIT:

On 31st January 2006,

MICHELLE WONG and LORRAINE CHOO, were proclaimed to be 5 years old.

May we wish them well, and that they may never grow up :)

BARBIES, PONIES, KIDDIE RIDES, AND LOVE XD

Michelle went "Hey macadamia"

Hello, hello. Okay! So you see, during OBS, after every little thing that happened, i said that i would blog about it.

And the thing is you see, i would, really! If i could feel my fingers haha.

So instead, i shall just write this short little sentence, and hope to combine/summarise/clump/another-word-that-means-the-same-thing as all of these in to one sentence.

MICHELLE WONG SURVIVED OBS.


AND SHE'S SUPER DUPER PROUD OF IT :)XD!

Okay, thats 2 sentences, but does it really matter? Haha! Gosh, i'm so glad to be home.

But at the same time, i feel like going out to my garden right now. Taking a blanket and some chopsticks,

And pitching a tent.




Top 10 random things that i think of when you say the word "OBS" (if that is a word)

1. How i ran like a mad woman when a hornet attacked my butt. Outrage!
2. The Adventures of Michelle and Yahya, PART 1: SCREAMING, CAPSIZING, AND LAUGHING OUR HEADS OFF.
3. Falling off the cable like America's Next Top Model would. Ahahha.
4. Toilet trips. All of my toilet trips.
5. Saggy tents on an ant trail and karaoke from JB.
6. Welcome to our tent Zahida.
7. The Adventures of Michelle and Yahya, PART 2: KAYA, KAYAKING?! But well obviously, ahem, whatever we did. We did with style. Not because we have style, which we do *cough* of course, just that we are style, so its style. Yes, okay. Michelle continue!
8. Jelly legs and The Dogs That Could've Attacked Us.
9. BATHING IN THE BOYS TOILET! OHMYGOODNESS. There was this thick tape with the name "Eng Hian" stuck on to the walls. Ooh very nice, not like thats haunting me somehow.
10. Megellan; Laughter, tears, & love :)

And like Syikin and Yahya go,

"Underline underline" and something else that i forgot, i apologise. Heh heh Michelle, switch on the lights, mood spoiler!

You don't understand what i'm talking about right? Don't worry! Its all cool cool. Cool beans, you know, like peanuts just softer. Yeah. And cold because they're cool.

Okay Michelle you need to go to sleep now.

Goodnight Megellan!

THE NIGHT IS GOOD! :):):)

Michelle went "Hey macadamia" and "I can't feel my fingers"

A DEDICATION

Make a step, take another.
Lift your feet, try to go further.
One page is done, another chapter.
Rewrite the numbers, if only i could stay forever!

Dreams fulfilled, dreams envisioned.
Passion burns, strong and driven.
Lessons learnt, open minded.
Growing tall, no longer blinded!

Past remembered, left behind.
Future roles, i'm left to find.
What a journey, it was only mine.
Tears and laughter, so sublime!

A greatful heart, a gesture not shy.
If only my words could personify.
Unknowing insecurity, became such a lie.
How some small things have made me ever so high!

One step back, i wish to take.
Although this move, i cannot make.
Not sleep walking, but running awake!
My last day. My most amazing break :)

Thank you all soooooooo much! I really loved working with all of you. What you guys have unknowingly thought me is now filed somewhere in my head, haha. Thanks for the all scoldings and the "never give up" 's. Thanks for walking with me one level up. Oh shoot i'm goind to start rhyming again. Lol. And even though i know none of you will ever read this, seeing as how none of you know my blog, i still want to say thank you so much. For the care and concern. And accepting me when i had much to learn. I am no where as good as you guys are, but i will strive to be. And one day maybe we'll meet again, at you-know-where XD, thats where we'll be.

I've got a bruise form where i hit my head,
The bruise which i have to sleep on when i go to bed,
The bruise which will remind me of yesterdays and today,
The bruise that will heal and make everything okay.

What an experience!

What a fabulously amazing experience :).

TOP 10 WAYS TO GET KICKED OUT OF OBS

Accumilated by Michelle Wong :)

1. Break your eye glasses!

2. Join Badminton.

3. Be inappropriately dressed. Wear a cheongsam to school on Monday. (Hahahaha Syikinnnnnnnn XD)

4. Never fake sick. Have lots of fun and then trip and fall and break something. Its SO much less obvious. (I'd like to thank Mrs Kong for the inspiration)

5. Mysteriously row back to Singapore when you're kayaking because "You got lost".

6. Attach your tent to your back, and ride the flying fox back to Singapore!

7. Change into your primary school uniform in the morning, and go "TKGS?! I thought i was in St. Hildas!"

8. Be late for school. And when they ask you why, just say "I lost my watch :)"

9. Only wear slippers. You might not get sent home, but you wouldn't be allowed to move around.

10.



I can't think of anything else!

I think its a sign.

I guess 10 is that i just have to go through it.

Bye bye Singapore! Hello Pulau pulau UBIN. *cries*

Michelle went "Hey macadamia" :)

Hello, hello! I want to write a play XD.

And this play shall be called "The romance of the girl and that bowl of Katong Laksa. No, not that one, the one across the street which claims to be authentic although no one will really ever know but they have a whole wall full of pictures with celebrities so heck just choose that one".

And picture this, we all have HONGKONG accents.

I'm ready for the Michelle's XD. Well because the Oscars are named Oscar i'm just assuming that it was founded by a dude called Oscar if not the whole point of calling it the "Oscars" would be kind of silly don't you think? So even though i'm pretty sure theres already an award for Plays, i still want to call it the Michelles. I can't help it! I'm biased that way. Ahahahahahahahaha! Okay okay. This play is an adaptation of er, *coughs* an incident. But not all of it is true. This is all to make the play a little more interesting, you see! Aha, my drama teacher should be proud :)).

Anyway! The stage is set, the orchestra is ready, and its time for the big red velvet curtains, TO OPEN.

Michelle went "Hey macadamia" :)

Do you know that when i was younger, i thought that i could fly?

I would run down the garden with my arms stretched out, and jump and try to fly. And somehow, i always felt that i was, even though i never left the ground.

I am such, a weird girl.

I would sing on at the table in the garden. I would sing songs from The Hunchback of Notre Dame! XD. And i would sing it at the top of my voice, and pretend that i was in the movie. I was worse than those people who sing karaoke! Because for me, the song would never end.

Until of course, my neighbour shouts at me from the window to shut up. But lets not talk about that :).

I used to hide under the table in my brothers room, and pretend that it was a cave from the Flinstones. I'd take a blanket and throw it over the table to cover the holes, and rest heavy books on top so that it wouldn't fall down. Then i'd hide inside with a few toys and pretend that i was cooking dinner, and sometimes Clara would play with me :). And we'd both hide there and laugh and laugh and laugh.

I remember eating porridge in Kindergarten. I always love the porridge there. It was the best! It had little peanuts in it also. And i would keep begging my mother to make it at home, but we never did. Still, it was amazing. I remember we would have recess in class. We would have to queue up, girls before boys, and collect our food. Then we go back to our seats and enjoy.

You know those things you do, that you regretregretregret? When i was in P2, my classmate Wynne was eating a packet of orange biscuits. There was only one left, and she said "No one can take this one, its mine." But i stuck my hand there and took it. She was very upset, i remember her saying that she would tell Mrs Wee and get her to tell my mother to scold me. I was so scared! I felt guilty all the way till P6.

In P3 i was a prefect of this class 3/5. One day i was sick so i brought barley to school. But what i didn't know was, that this boy Nicholas drank half of it. I was really upset and shocked! I couldn't believe that anyone would just take you bottle and drink it. Plus, i loved barley. I remember crying and crying, and he never apologised.

When i was in p4 i sat next to Yongkee, and behind Desiree and Keng Chuan. I don't know if they still remember me heh. We wouldn't listen in class, and play games with our fingers, a really fun game! YOu know how your second and third finger can "walk"? Thats what we did! And we all had special powers. Like flying, and touching someone so they couldn't retaliate. And the main objective of the game was to retrieve the golden disc, which was just a simple 5 cent coin XD.

In P5, we went to to China! And i have NO IDEA, how we all got lumped in the same group :). It was so awesome! We'd ALWAYS be the last and get into trouble. Snack on maggi noodles at night, and make noises when we were walking through the fort things on The Great Wall.

And in p6, things didn't go as well. There was SARS, and other things happened. I remember crying through recess and music lesson. And then again, i remember everything being better, and how it was like it never happened in the first place :). I remember how it is one year of my life, that i would never forget.

When i reached Sec 1, i was such a paranoid little twit! Haha, i remember thefolded sleeves incident. How i freaked out so much over it for weeks. I remember meeting new amazing friends, and not leaving the old ones behind.

Sec 2 was like so same, yet so different. We were all good friends, but we had problems. Pulling and tugging, loving and hurting, but somehow i always thought it was okay. I mean, i knew there were problems, and i did think that things were wrong sometimes, but then everything just became okay, to me. Somehow. Maybe, i don't know.

I'm myopic, remember XD?

When i got to Sec 3, i didn't know how the year was going to be. And i still don't know.

Is this too late for reflection? Haha, it may not be as meaningful as doing it on New Years Day, but its a reflection XD. Oh lol, of how i used to be. And how things are so unpredictable. And how no matter how many times you run and jump, that you'll still be right on the ground.

Excpet for those two seconds. Those two precious seconds when you're soaring through the air :).

And guess what?

I think i'm going to cry again :).

I am such, a weird girl.
