Now, every family should have a family history, no? So. Our family was formed earlier this year when our (soon to be) fps mentor ms may tan asked if any of us would like to try out fps! And so our family was formed. Audrye, Huimin, Chris-Tin and Shuting.
Since march we have battled through problems, underlying problems, solutions, criteria, ranking and action plans, at the same time braving global warming, freedom of speech and most recently, nutrition.
Our unofficial meeting venue was always Chris-tin's house, and in the process, all of us gained weight with all the many many many marks and spencers cookies and ruffles we had! So much for learning about all the transfat.
It was in this intellectual environment that chemical bonding took place! In the end, we officially became the fps family, which can withstand high temperatures without any change in state. XD
A note about the name! reverse electrolysis was one of our action plans! and fps stands for Future Problem Solving!
Did you know? Chris-Tin killed the blog the first time because she didnt know that half the html for the blog was cut off, and she saved the template changes! so she had to do it all over again. ):

im here to break chris-tin's chain ! i shall type a quick entry before going to watch my full house hohoho. i know it's reallyy late to be watching it now but still, i like it terribly muchy. pingping doesnt like it but im telling you only true romantics appreciate it okay! xD i like options, particularly my bio option it's absolutely fascinating to go back to studying the human anatomy after all that dna science. plus we have a lot of free time in school to talk, eat, play tennis, squash, pretend to do math, watch movies, it's a lot of fun :D
but because options are taking up so much time, these days im either in school or at home, even during the weekends. last saturday though, was the day when i found out that it was going to be an interesting weekend after all. we were in school after a tedious long session of financial literacy (i spent the 3h of the course talking to liping and yuhyiing), when suddenly jane bounced up to ask if we wanted to watch singapore idol finals on sunday. bib had tickets but she couldnt go so she had a pair of tickets to offer! (THANKYOU liping for letting me go thankyouthankyou and THANKYOU bib love for the tickets the seats are great) see how my entire weekend was immediately brightened up at the prospect of watching idols final live?
saturday afternoon was fun we had production rehearsals and bib choreographed 2 sets of the horror dance for us and what can i say. she's brilliant. we watched a lot of michael jackson, a lot of grease to get a feel of the different dances and they're all so fab. BUT CANNOT BEAT SUNDAY. guess who jane and i were supporting?
i was supposed to do my math in the afternoon but obviously i couldnt concentrate so i started making a big L for jonathan Leong (jane was making the J). haha we're kind of strange why didnt we make JON or something? anyway after lugging my L very loserly down to the stadium we didnt end up waving our letters around. i wont elaborate why haha. the show was good. there were a lot of memorable moments during the show, on and off camera, such as justin ang falling off the stage by accident, joaquim and gurmit singh playing catching through the rows of the vj choir. but oh the singing. i have no idea what they sounded like on tv (not very good, if it's anything like what i heard on monday evening), but the singing in the stadium and the atmosphere were so good. jane and i were like two crazy kids. at first we banged our clappers like crazy but after a while they started to leak and go all soft and we had to blow them every 30 seconds so we gave up and waved our lightsticks around (WHY did i buy myself a BLUE one. WHY BLUE. WHY DONT THEY COME IN WHITE). hady undoubtedly has good vocals. and his song choices ensured that he could liven up the atmosphere in the stadium with no difficulties. no offence to his fans but although hady's voice is good his singing didnt make my hair stand up or anything it didnt touch me i didnt see the personality. on the other hand i thought jon was sexy haha. hady did better as a performer though. he was good with the space on stage. our dear jon kept crooning to the camera despite jane and i urgently sending psywaves to him to come over to our side or even look at us (can you believe that for the entire evening, he didnt even so much as glance over?!) . but it's okay! we forgive you jon hahaha and we'll buy your album and go down to your autograph session so that we can shake hands with you proper :D yup and it's okay jon didnt win in the end. less competition with us for him: D
then yes on monday we had our regular tennis session! we're actually getting better i cant believe it but YAY. chris has described the evening so i shant bother xD but the thing about tennis is this. chris and i are both terribly lazy people. way too lazy. we dont like to run. so when chris serves the ball to the edge of the court, i would just stand there and watch it. and we keep waiting for double bounces. nvm we'll deal with that in time to come, once we've improved our strokes and i stop making the ball go out -.-
cant wait for this friday/saturday sln camp! then ora dinner on saturday, probably the last time i'll be wearing my formal u sigh. monday is a school holiday! fiel is recording our cd, followed by 4h of tennis with chris how fun :D next week is also the week we're getting back our ridiculous exam papers, the week when im determined to unscrew our nrp project, the week when i'll find a present for shaun, the week when i'll start putting a bit more thought into congress, the week when i'll start revising for chinese. yes next week.
family meeting at 7:10 PM
