the dentist "mystery"...

i vaguely remember....
it was a saturday in 2001...
my mom and i left for a dental appointment with my school dentist.
i wasnt a tad bit afraid. :)
when we arrived, a broad-shouldered, huge-sized, middle-aged dentist asked if i were kimberly... "yes..."i timidly answered...i dont know why i was timid....maybe i was just threatened by her size... she was going to work on my teeth. she could do ANYTHING to them. ok. "hey, why dont you take a look at my 3-D picture. spot the animals in it... or you can test your patience by playing this game." she offered. we had to arrange the 5 metal balls, according to their size, in a line on this uneven ground in this box. i have to admit... i was kinda entertained. hehe:) then... it my turn had arrived. "kimberly! come here. let me check on your teeth,ok?" she asked. i so-wanted to say no. it was a question anyway! but, being an obedient, naive and innocent seven- year- old, i complied.

i settled down on the chair and looked at her tools. they looked like drills to me! she dotted my facial moles on her written record and began working on my teeth.

first, she filled my molars with some dental paste. she used the "drill" to do that. oh, and the "drill" not only looked like a drill, but also felt like a drill. ouch. i could feel it's vibrations enter my head...into my brain....eeeeeeeeeeee....... i shut my eyes in pain and tears, like beads, rolled out of my eyes... :'( then... she scaled my teeth. that was ok until she, hopefully, accidentally poked my gums. she handed me a mirror. gosh. what a thing to do to an innocent 7-year-old. i watched the blood flow around my teeth. i was terrified. i could taste the blood. it was disgusting.

that was my first dental appointment in my primary school.

just a few days ago, on the 25th of july, our class went for our dental appointment. the dentist was nice. she, too, showed us her 3-D picture. we could spot the animals. then we were allowed to play the mind- game.... it was getting kinda freaky similar to my primary school experience.

>.<

then my turn came. she asked me which primary school i was from and when i told her i was from rosyth, she immediately exclaimed that she was there in 2001. AHHHH! so it could be here! that explained all the games. 3D pictures, and everything...how she treated us and all! so... she MIGHT be the dentist who remained in my mind for the past 6 years as the dentist who poked my gums.

the WALK-a-jog and my birthday...:)yeah!

time flies when you're enjoying yourself...that phrase describes my june holidays. anyway...the first week of school has just ended.... for us in plmgs, we spent yesterday at east coast park. we had a WALK-A-JOG...but it kinda ended up more like a WALK-ONLY-UNLESS-YOU-WANNA-BE-THE-FIRST-FEW-TO-REACH-THE-END...yep, when the buzzer buzzed, signalling us to walk/jog/run/at least move, simply walked, much to my suprise. (i thought everyone would run...i dont know why but i just did>.<)

so in the end, fiona,izabella and i decided we just HAD to run... well... a tiny bit... so we could come in like first 50 to win points for our house....and fiona came in 13th, izabella, 15th and i came in 14th.. hehe ._.

oh.and yesterday was my birthday but wei qin gave me a 3cm black-metal bone on the first day of school...and fiona had the entire class write wishes on coloured cards ( including ms liang... i really had no idea she did... o.0 )

and gave it to me on thursday...that was interesting and nice.. :)

my mom gave me fun stuff too... there was this little green plastic egg that was a chop and a rollie-polly...no matter how hard you push it, it wouldn't fall... here it is:it's really cute...the rabbit i mean...

and my mom and dad also gave me other nice stuff too...

but the rollie-polly's my favourite...

oh...recently dogs have been visiting our school. they're from noah's ark. Noah's Ark brought some of their products like stationery, files, note books and T-shirts along with their dogs.

1-1 and 1-2 were in charge of selling the products while 1-3 was in charge of the dog photography. students or anybody in the school could take pictures with the dogs for $5....all the money raised was for Noah's Ark...

the dogs were really adorable but NOT as cute as MY Chloe:

Last day of May

it's the early hours of the last day of may... right now, it's 1.04am. june is coming and i'm afraid cca starts again! ;_; it's not that i don't enjoy my cca, it's just that for the june holidays, we'll be having drills....i don't really know much about them but the seniors told us that it's rather tiring. Full of pumpings, running, marching...tee-heee...you reallly wouldn't wanna know how we're supposed to march. all i'm gonna say is" left leg! point toes downwards! right leg! point toes downwards! hands tight by your side! chin up, stand tall! left! right! left! right! left! right!" sheesh>.< ...that was how we were/are supposed to march.

anyway, a few days ago we went to Malaysia! of course, we went straight for gum! yay! ha ha.... we all LOVE gum! yahahahaha! gum is the best! gum is the ultimate!

I-Discover CAMP
i'm sure almost everyone of you has already had your s1 orientation camp in january, right? however, we just broke camp yesterday, the 19th of May. we camped from the 17th to the 19th of May. we stayed overnight and could only bathe twice. however we were allowed to wash-up in the mornings. haha. did you know that we were given buckets and scoops to bathe with? well, unfortunately, we did... some of us had to wait for our friends to finish bathing till we could bathe (remember Julia)? so some of my friends were washing their hair at the sinks, and rushing into the cubicles to change out of their shampoo-filled clothes... hahaha. anway, the camp was rather enjoyable, other than the sleepless nights we had. oh, the first night, i was getting into my sleeping bag, and i found lots of sand...probably from the p5 camp 2 years ago. the second night, i slept on my sleeping bag as it was really, really hot and if i slept on my sleeping bag, it wouldn't be hard. the next morning, i found myself ( ok... shi min woke me up... ) lying on the bare floor! ahh...haha. so i ended up with a stiff neck. well, our facillitators were nice! haha... they were sec 3s and they accompanied us where-ever we needed to go... oh! Campfire night was interesting, really really interesting. we had our campfire in the air-conditioned hall and our fire was a fan blowing some red and orange salophain paper...haha.kind of pathetic but there was air-con, so we were happy. :) we were all given light sticks and some of us even shaped their into a giant light-ball! campfire was fun, indeed. cya all tmr! >.<

We've WON! We've WON!

We've won the sec 1 level story telling-competition! Sha and i have won! yeah! hurray! this is the second time i've won a story-telling competition/ public speaking thing... :) yeah! Sha and i were exhilarated when they announced the results... wanna know what we won?

ok... we won a $10 popular voucher...well, it's not the voucher i care about. i was just happy that we won and that we won this particular girl who was also participating. i'm not gonna tellya who because its not very nice.. but dont worry...its not someone from our class. (phew) and its not janel( hehe ..hi my new-found friend/"neighbour" haha) neither is it the girl with the gypsy's name..( yep Esmeralda, the gypsy from the hunchback of notre dam) nope its not bindhu.. hiya bindhu:) i hope you dont remember who else was backstage with us... hehe ( p.s. but even if you do, its almost impossible that you could possibly find out who she is...hahaha)

anyway, it was fun! goodnight! hahaha!

It's back to school tomorrow

Time flies... the holidays passed by too soon! so it's back to school tomorrow, back to lugging those heavy bags ( i don't like stuffing books into my locker...especially on Mondays, when my flute fills the locker) , back to lessons, back to the morning jogs. ARGH! oh and we'll be having malay enrichment every Wednesday after school...aw man... and that will be for an entire hour!
BUT if i look on the bright side, it's gonna be back to new topics( tomorrow is the start of a new term and we'll be doing literature! yeah! bye-bye geography for the year! hurray!) , back to our spacious air-conditioned hall, back to our friends, back to our after-school-activities...and much more! OK...now i can't wait to get back to school! cya!

Happy days are finally here!

Finally...the holidays are here! Happy days await us... yup!

ANYWAY...
for our life lesson last week, we were briefed about community involvement programme, c.i.p. for short. yup, when everyone heard about it, we were picturing ourselves sorting books out in a library- the most common place where students clock in c.i.p. hours. HOWEVER, our school will going to do buddy reading with pupils of xinghua primary and even better- raise funds for an animal shelter called Noah's arc ( if I'm not wrong.) that means we could spend countless hours with animals! so last week, a lady from the shelter brought Princess, the shelter's ambassador, to our school! so we( students from classes1, 2 and 3) were all seated in the chilly AVA theatre, deciding what we all should do to raise funds for the animals. as we were doing that, Princess, was running around us. everyone enjoyed her company and we will be looking forward to meeting more animals! and we can't wait!
