sorry sister. for not posting so long. has been coming home real late and was too packed to even complete what i have to do, so couldn't post. so sorry!
today was the last day of NP chess showdown. and other than a girl who didn't come for 2 days out of 4, i was the last person on the list by ranks. i totally lost everything, didn't win any game. saddening. but there was improvements! *blinks in the eye* at least other the game with si jia, i got more than 100 points in my games. i got 91 in his. @.@
i was blogskin hunting during CIP tutorial class today and has yet to find a suitable skin. this is frustrating. i want a nice blogskin. how i wish i have time to make one myself. den it will be PERFECTO.
i am so happy that i am getting more and more interested in BSTATS. i actually didnt feel sleepy at all during the lecture today! maybe because it was by my 2nd favourite teacher in school yet, MR ONG POH LENG. hahahaas. i love him. my 1st favourite is still HANA. how i wish she can come back real soon. she's on maternity leave. *sigh*
oh and yahoo had this article. about overweight people. i'll highlight some stuff.
'Overweight children are stigmatized by their peers as early as age 3 and even face bias from their parents and teachers, giving them a quality of life comparable to people with cancer, a new analysis concludes.'
'When children were asked to rank photos of children as friends in a 1961 study, the overweight child was ranked last.'
'"It was constantly impressed upon me that I wasn't going to get anywhere in the world if I was fat," McAfee said. "You hear it so often, it becomes the truth."'
'Other children would try to run her down on bikes to see if she would bounce. She had a hard time getting on teams in the playground.
"Teachers did not stand up for me when I was teased," McAfee said.'
'She recalled one doctor who said she looked like a gorilla and another who gave her painkillers and diet pills for what turned out to be mononucleosis.'
it has all been taken from yahoo.com, from a single article. it's like it's so true! and why are those people being so mean to them?? to us??? we are just fatter, doesn't mean it's contagious! but phew, i am more of a cheerful person and i don't NORMALLY get too upset with people's comments on my FATS. so you. don't feel so guilty. hahahas.
am going to study for my BCOMM common test 2 which is held tml. great. there is like 4 report formats to memorise?! bye.
oh before that. a photo of the NP swimming pool. nice view from blk 18 4th floor. discovered it when i was there for chess. CIAO!
