I cannot end Poverty, I cannot end animal cruelty.
But everyone counts.
IT MAY TAKE WHILE FOR THE PAGES TO LOAD(ESP THE JOURNAL PART), BUT I'VE CHCKED, EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE (: Chicks are not nuggets please!
1 Million children each year do not pass their 5th birthday. 40.3 Million people in the world
are infected with Aids. Every 5 seconds of your life, a child dies. 1 Billion people do not
have access to safe water which causes death. There is only 6 Billion people in the world.
These are totally preventable. Do you want CHANGE?
WORLDVISION.ORG.SG more about me?
our hopes and expectations
black holes and revelations
I'm sure you know where the navi is. :D
i'll be your sunshine
if you'll be my silhouette
My name is Pearline.
My birthday is on 27/10/92.
I have many things on my wishlist, but i'm just too lazy to type it all.
I treasure friendship & familyship alot.
I have 2 dogs at home and i absolutely LOVE them.
To me, Lizards are more disgusting then Cockroaches.
I hate people who say to me, "What's the point of doing this? You alone won't change a thing."
Well, OBVIOUSLY it's because of people like them that all these are happening.
They shouldn't bring people down just because they are so negative.
Sigh. I really need a holiday. And i think about it alot nowadays. A holiday. A nice proper holiday far away from Singapore. Malaysia is not far. I've always been a sucker for European countries. I search up the pictures and it's always so damn beautiful there.
Not like here. When i look out, i only see bamboo poles and uncles with big belly staring out of the window. Once, a maid using a tweezer to pluck her armpit hair.
AT THE WINDOW. YES.
I need to go out of the country and i need it bad.
YAY, TODAY IS LABOUR DAY. Students totally deserve labour day break cause we're working so hard by studying.
And it's family day! :DDDDDD I love family day cause it's always so much fun. We are a small family of eleven. Including Ahyi, Naomi, JiuJiu, AhKim, Small JiuJiu, KimKim, Ahma, Mummy, Sis, Me and Lasi.
So it's easy to oraganise and plan things.
We went to East Coast today for picnic. Ahma did her usual good job on the curry. We sat at the beach, played Captain's Ball, Volleyball, Dog and Bone, Eagle catch chick (translate to chinese) and bladed. The slopes were so difficult to control!
I was with my dad when i saw this. We went for my niece's one month celebration. Near their house, there's a badminton court. So when i left the celebration, the badminton court had become a outdoor theatre!
The screens and everything wasn't there before. Everyone was there (esp, kids) to watch the movie. There's a ice cream truck giving out free ice cream!
Those cone and cup kind we see every time. And guess what????
THE QUEUE WAS SO BLOODY LONG.
And i thought the ice cream was for kids... The queue was mainly made up of aunties and uncles. Funny, i can imagine them saying "I'm taking for my daughter what!" And proceed to gulp it.
I think people leave their house just to get the ice cream and go home. Not bothering to watch the movie at all.
Beside me, the aunty was like "Ah Boy go queue. Got free ice cream!" The boy sulkily obeyed his mother. Lol.
But my main point is, I think it's really nice to have this turn-badminton-court-into-outdoor-theatre thing. You know, people can make more friends (esp, kids). And they seem really happy.
I know I know. I DON'T blog nowadays right. But you can't blame me! My heart was captured by Viwawa. Hahahaha.
And another point is, I dont have much to blog about. My life is BORING. I guess that's what O lvls do to people. It takes the life away. *sigh dramatically*
Everything is test test read study revise test test study revise test. What kind of life is that?!??! The life of a freaking Sec 4. Lucky me.
Talking about being Sec 4. Don't you feel like Sec 1 or 2 is still close to you? I don't feel like a Sec 4 at all. When i was Sec 1, I see people who are Sec 4 as OLD and MATURED. God, i certainly don't feel that way.
...
And something keeps popping up in my head lately. I makes me reflect my life. Like as if i'm going to die already. I'm reflecting on my entire life! I don't do that in the past.
So anyway, I feel like I'm lucky. I'm a girl with a good life. Not many people have good life. My life has been smooth. I was never depressed and I never did cut my wrists. (for some weird reason, people do) And i couldn't understand why they did it.
Because I have never even came close to thinking about it really. Sure, I had sad days. but i never really wanted to see blood coming out of myself by a wound i made for myself.
It makes me feel contented.
I know you must be thinking how is that possible. I was cursed by so many people when i was in Sec 1 because i liked a boy. Those people are crazy. What's wrong with having a damn crush on a boy? So anyway, whatever.
And Sec 3, I was sad. But i eventually got over it. And I'm lucky because some people don't get over it. And they feel sad alot. Throughout my 4 years in school, not everyone liked me, of course that would have been impossible. Nobody is ever liked by everyone.
And my results are okay. I'm not failing (let's exclude chinese can). And although my parents are not together (since i was so young), but i was not greatly affected by it. Although at times i was.
But both of them loved me. ALOT. And i'm being protected for all the negative things by my parents. Some kids get abandoned by their parents. That's really why i'm lucky.
I also have a great family. I love them alot. Family as in grandmother and uncles and aunties all together. They are goofy and fun to be with. We take holidays together and we're always laughing. And you won't believe the jokes they make, sometimes, i had to close my ears because i'm underaged. (;
We'll laugh till we cry.
I won't know how to say how much i love them really. Or if i were to lose one of them, I won't know how to describe how i feel also. Omg, I can cry just by typing this.
And when everyone was trying to fit in and make friends when they got to Junyuan as Sec 1s, I was busy goofing with Amanda. I didnt have to worry about fitting in at all. Who is that lucky to have your best friend go to the same class as you?
And I'm really contented. And I really feel that I've been given enough.
I HATE PEOPLE WHO CUT ANIMALS UP AND KILL THEM FOR FOOD. I HATE PEOPLE WHO TUG AND PULL THEM WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. I HATE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM BLEED AND BURN.
AND I HATE PEOPLE WHO SKIN THEM. I HATE EVEN MORE THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY BUY THEIR SKIN. TO SUPPORT SUCH CRUELTY. TO MAKE THEM SKIN MORE.
THEY FEEL PAIN JUST LIKE US. THEY CAN THINK. CAN BE SCARED. DO YOU WANT TO BE SKINNED? DO YOU WANT TO BE BURNT? DO YOU WANT TO BE HELD UPSIDE DOWN? DO YOU WANT TO BE HOOKED THROUGH YOUR NOSE?
EVEN FISHES FEELS PAIN WHEN THEIR BEING HOOKED, DRAGGED UP AND DIE. OR SUFFOCATE AND STRUGGLE.
HOW CAN YOU STILL EAT THE MEAT WHILE YOU SEE THEM BLEED?
Today is a interesting day. First, school is normal. But during PE, the eight of us seem to be covered by ghosts. LOL. It was funny, although weird.
Then lessons time, nothing special happened. After school, I'm quite hyper. Lol. (:
I went to attend Brenda's Chemistry extra lesson with her again. The teacher don't mind. And i like that teacher la. Teaches quite well. Then we went to English Enrichment tgt. I like my marks for my Situational Writing siaaaaaa! :D
Then after that, we went to 34 bus stop. The one opposite the CC? Beside there is a narrow path which can only hold 2 people? Yeah, the highlight of my day happens then.
We were walking and chatting happily. Then this woman suddenly pop up behind us. She was jogging. Then she said, "Can you all please walk on one side? You think you own the road? " Then we let her go.
AND GUESS WHAT SHE DID?! She pointed her middle finger to us. Like WTH. What did we do to her? She's super rude and ridiculous lor.
Then i got irritated. Obviously.
Then i said, " Then you think your mother own the road? " . She was quite far away. Running ma. But I got another middle finger. ROFL.
Then Brenda said something. And she got ANOTHER middle finger.
-.-
I conclude that she is crazy. Point anyhow point. What did we do to her in the very first place? Nothing right! LOL. She only knows how to point her finger. I bet she goes around to everyone and point them.
SIAO.
But it's okay la. We're not that angry. Just really really irritated with such rude people.
ANYWAY, why make that crazy woman the highlight of my post? .. So, I will say something happy and joyful and worth celebrating about. Like?
THE MARCH HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!!*entire face lights up*
I know some poeple have to go back quite many days? But i only have to go back for 2 days! It's not the entire day anyway. Omg. I'm so so so so so looking forward to it.
Brenda is flying off tmr. Meaning we will not see her tmr. Gosh. I'll msg her in the morning. I'll really really miss her!!!!!
Should really warn her NOT to get a boyfriend there. Get married. And not come home...
I don't like being bored. Because it is uncool. Lol. Seriously, where are all my friends man?!! Shall call them up..
Called Friend #1. She didn't pick up. I'm so lazy to call, should just mass msg them all. Know what did i just type to them?
"Hey! Please tell me you're at home!" (so that they can come online)
Wowwwwza. Brenda's reply is super fast. YAY! Here comes another one! It'ssssss Joel! I wonder where's Amanda.
And Joel called me for 5 minutes. Don't want disturb him and Eileen! Hahahahaha. Back to boredness.
I'm trying hard to focus on my SS work. Been staring at it for about an hour. Nothing's coming out. My writing paper only shows my name and the date. Okay okay, must focus.
I will continue typing after i finish the first question.
*30 mins passed..*
Finally the first qn is done. The second one is even longer! T.T I don't like SS la. There's still Maths homework! And D&T! AHHHHHH!!~
Overwhelming huh.
Oh yeah. I'm like so so so so so so so happy about cross country today! :D Y'know, for the past 3 years, never did i run once. But this time, i ran la! Figured that it's the last year alr.
Lol. This time we all ran alone. Cos different speed. But, I GOT A CARD! I GOT A CARD! I SWEAR I REALLY GOT A CARD!
Although it's a blank one. But then, it's my first ever one. For a girl that fails 2.4, i'm really happy. It proves to me i can pass my 2.4! :D :D :D
FREAKIN' HAPPY OKAY! I even msged my mum after i got the card. Hahahaha. She said, "good job!" ^.^
It's good to Jian Fei too. (: Although I don't seem to see a diff.. Who cares?
Well well, I'm going to do question number 2 now. Goodnight! :D
When you talk to me, I swear the whole world stops.
*Yayyyyy yayyyy! My Love Loaf is in the mail now! :D
I HAD CHOIR TODAY.
But it wasn't nice. Usually it was bad, but today, it was terrible. Make me moodless. :/
I used to like Choir. I don't mind going. Now, i dread Tuesdays and Fridays. It was better when we had Wanny & Kelly as SLs. And Mr Ong as instructor. I will listen to him.
But then now, It's so different. Everyone scream and show each other no respect. When noisy, they just scream. But they scream like way too often till it already has no meaning.
When we do wrong things, they just punish. Everything they talk about is punishment. And worst of all, it has no fix time. Happy happy that time, not happy, release later.
Sigh.
Today, I was called out to have a 'talk' with the instructor after she saw me using a highlighter to draw on my paper. She said i was DISRESPECTING AND DEFECTING the paper. See?
This was what i did to it. All using highlighter. Because i was super bored. And everyone was noisy & screaming so me & Brenda drew and had fun lor.
She wrote "Brenda, my lover." & I wrote "She loves Pearline & Amanda because they are Chio Bu!". ROFL. Obviously, we dont mean it in a bhb way la. Just for fun. [:
But she said this to us: YOU ALL ARE VERY VAIN.
Like, WTH??? I was only kidding and why must she say that lor. ):
Then when she called me out, she said these things. Caps is her, and smaller font is me. WHY MUST YOU DISRESPECT AND DEFECT THE PAPER? huh? what do you mean? WHY DID YOU USE BRIGHT BLUE TO WRITE ON IT? it's a highlighter. i didnt know i cant do that. why can't i use bright blue?
I really didnt know can. I draw on ALL on papers.
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE YOUR NOTES? it's a highlighter what. i'll just write over it.
YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE A FAVOURITE CHILD IN CHOIR? YOU THINK THAT PEOPLE RESPECT YOU? YOU HAVE TO EARN YOUR RESPECT YOU KNOW. PEOPLE ARE QUEUING FOR ME TO TEACH THEM. MY RATES ARE NOT CHEAP YOU KNOW. THEY ARE EXPENSIVE. -
This makes me mad. Why is she talking to me like this la. :/ It's very offensive and proud of her to say these things lor. I also never say I think i'm the favourite kid sia.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~

This is a picture of Angelina Jolie in IRAQ. She is heavily pregnant with twins inside her. Here, she is seem wearing a bulletproof vest over her tummy. She visited the military base and everything. During the time that she was there, there were many bombings. She went there for publicity.
WHY IS SHE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Can't she think that she's pregnant. Weird la, this type of people. She looks ridiculous. So pregnant and yet running around Iraq. She want to go, can go herself. Don't need to bring 2 extra lives there ma.

Anyway, nowadays Amanda is very keen on supporting the cause for Anti Animal Abuse around the world. One organisation is the WWF. You can support them by buying their things.
Poeple who don't understand the point of us doing the Child poverty & Animal Abuse thing. You should go to YouTube and search up videos about it. You will cry. It's torture. I don't watch the videos because i know that it will affect my entire day. It's very disturbing.
This post is getting way too long. Lol. That's all for today! (:
Received a e-mail from Huili. It's like a test thing, so here are the results.
I like yellow. ( It means I'm fun)
Hang out place is shopping mall. (It means crazy & fun)
Long flowy dress, but i actually only like knee length. But then don't have the choice. (It means graceful & elegant)
Read a book during my free time. (It means shy & hardworking)
Only 3 choices for hobbies. I dont do photography nor dancing, so i chose studying. (It means clever & mature)
Genre of music is rock. (It means loud & crazy)
Important in life is family. (It means lovable & sweet)
Mother gives $50, I will give to charity. If only it's she give for extra la, not for getting stationary or anything. Cause if that's the case, i will need the cash. (It means helpful)
Tell him to study first. (It means mature)
Favourite time of the day is night time. (It means dark & emotional) Hello?!?! I like it because it's cooling okay. Siao. I'm not dark. Lol.
That's all. I think my results are quite positive. ^^
In my previous post, I mentioned about Poverty, Famine & Aids. I hope people bothered to read.
So yesterday, I was on the bus. This girl didn't move to the back of the bus. It was super crowded, people are squeezing to get up. Some people were still outside.
Everyone wants to get home after a long day.
Then I thought, there are people who don't even bother to move to the back of the bus, how can they care about something global like the things I mentioned?! It makes me angry.
People are waiting to get up. People are trying to create more space. People are even staring at her. Even me. Still, she didn't move. People continue to stare. Then she makes a face and reluctantly moves.
It's such a small simple thing. Yet she doesn't think about other people. Wth.

I decided to get a Love Loaf! :D
Wait till maybe afew months more, when I'm richer, then i sponsor a child. I don't want to quit halfway and force the child back to poverty again.
I'm actually recearching on the net now. About organisations like WFP (World Food Programme), UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund), World Vision.. etc. Because they deal with ld Hunger, Child Abuse and Aids Victims
Do you know that, 1. Every 5 seconds of your life, a child dies of hunger?
2. 10.9 million children die from starvation each year. And 9.7 million of the deaths could be prevented. These deaths are caused by malnutrition, starvation and lack of clean water.
3. 30 cents from you can feed a child for the entire day.
4. 2.3 million children are currently living with HIV. They did not choose it. They are born with it.
5. There are 1.6 million child prostitutes.
6. There are such things like Child Soldiers in war countries. That shouldnt be the case at all.
-
Dont you all feel something when you read this? Like, for example, one lollipop chicken in the school is our snack. But it can feed a child for two days. To me, i feel that my money has gone to waste because i have to eat that. Yet, we can't help it.
Celebrities with huge amounts of money can spent millions or billions for a house that they dont go home to often. So, why can't they use this money to help people? Can you imagine how much they can do?
I just saw the Yahoo news. The richest man in Indie bought a house for himself for 1 billion. And India has high rates of people living in poverty. AND HE IS LIVING IN THAT DAMN HOUSE WORTH 1 BILLION. If it's me, i can't sleep at night.
Currently, I dont know why, UNICEF is not allowed to do fundraising here. But they are allowed to sell cards. If you happen to see one, please consider buying it. I'm sure it's not expensive.
As for WFP, you can donate by Bank Transfers or Cheque or Online. It's about troublesome, but too bad Singapore cannot do anything one.
However, for WorldVision, it is SUPER easy! I'm deciding on which programme to take. Please Please Please, wisit the website and click " ways to help ". There are so many different ways!
Taken from the WorldVision Website,
If you wanted to learn, but there was no school if there was school, you couldn't go because you had to go to work or there weren't enough teachers because they have HIV/AIDS or your school was detroyed in a war..
Today is the end of the Young Achiever course thingy. To be honest, I didnt learn as much as i would like to learn. It's a little dull, a little boring and a little too long.
But yeah, I did learn something okay. Just not much.
But Alice was very patient. In my opinion, she is extremely patient. She didnt yell at all. Hmm.. I might actually miss her a little. Plus, she has two very good looking sons. ^^
Tmr we're going to have HIV/STI/AIDS talk. And CHEM TA. How boring also. And i have no $$$ to buy clorets. Damn. Might dig up my Ang Pao money. Which is really sad...
CLORETS IS LIKE COFFEE PILLS. IT KEEPS ME SUPER AWAKE.
