I LOVE YOU TRINA I LOVE YOU WEST SIDE
Saturday, September 30, 2006







i can't believe it, WEST SIDE STORY'S over!!!
after all the hardwork we put in,
after all the stress ms stearns gave me.
after everything,
it's OVER.
west side brought sadness,
sorrow,
stress,
happiness,
bad grades, and last but not least,
FRIENDSHIP that i will always treasure.
Thanks for all these people who have helped me:
Trina, thanks for all you've done,
And i say that from the very bottom of my heart.
Trina, what could i do without you?
I'm so worried about you,
Yet i don't want to confess
Afraid that you won't be yourself
In front of me.
Afraid that i know everything.
May God bless you.
Sarah thanks for everything,
for giving me rides,
for waiting,
for comforting,
for just being there.

You were great,
and i LOVE YOU.

Cerina,

and thanks for all the lovely times,
i wish now that i had a sister more than ever.

thanks for helping me through hard parts in songs,
thanks for praising me even though i wasn't that good.

if you don't let me do anything, don't say i wont' do anything
thanks for being mean
thanks for being "generous"
thanks fro treating me like dirt
thanks for laughing
thansk for "caring"
thanks for all the "lovely" things that you've done
thanks for trying your best
to make me feel bad,
to make me sad
and to make me mad
why?
what have i done?
what have i done wrong?
i treat you as my friend, you don't
i share my stuff with you, you don't
go on, treat me like dirt
see if i care
go on, i won't give
if you do so i will too
so here ends this talk
and here ends my misery
for i will no longer treat you as my friend
at heart
be as mean as you can be
see if i care
be as nasty as you can be
i won't care
in my heart
i will be sad to lose such a nice friend as you
but i have no choice but to let you go
maybe i just don't belong
maybe i'm just not your friend
maybe i've been too smart
and i've thought that it would work out
after all that,
after all the effort
i now know its impossible
and that we can never be together
i'm sorry.

ee leng's lovely poem for sarah is so very sweet, and how does she compose such lovely poems i don't know:
copyright ee leng:::
I am a dancer - because I dance.
The spotlight shines, the music beginsI twirl, I spin.
I jump, I leap furtherFrom one side to another.S
mooth steps and turns, my arms precise.
Exhilarating, all those eyes and brightly colored lights.
Rising up to Pointe, and down to plie.
Performing what I’m so familiar with, what I’ve practiced everyday.
I am a dancer, that’s what I am.
I'm proud of dancing, I’m proud that I can.
I feel pain and fearI experience applause and failure.
I feel happiness and disgrace,I feel beauty and grace.
Sometimes I fail, but I don't give up.
For I am a dancer, and I believe in myself.
I don't dance for fame, I dance for myself.
I believe in what I think, I believe in what I feel.
I'm poised and serene,
I'm the beauty of dancing.
Dancing is my dream, I can't let it die
For when I dance, I feel like I can fly
The world can just disappear, my troubles can ease
For just that one moment, I am truly at peace.
For saraH

sarah's confusing posts that i don't understand
valerie's sweet poem
copyright valerie:::
I look at you all and you guys look at me,
As we walk together in one motion.
I realised what lucky people we were,
To actually have each other.
I look at you all and you guys look at me,
As we talk happily and freely.
We open our minds and pour our thoughts,
Cry our hearts out or giggle alot.
I look at you all and you guys look at me,
People think we're of one family.
Friends bonded as one, together we stand,
We face problems together.
I look at you all and you guys look at me,
Nothing stands among us, nothing ever be.
Stand together, friends walking together,
Miss each other during the summer.
FER SARAH, EMILY, MICHELLE! :D
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! muah!!! <33

doesn't anyone think that west side story affects their school grades?
doesn't anyone think that having everything due on one day from the same subject is a bit too much?
doesn't anyone want to talk to dai4 lao3 shi1?
doesn't anyone who is in west side story want to get good grades in my chinese class?
how can you study when you have rehearsal 4 times a week each for 2 or 3 or even 4 hours?
does anyone care?
does anyone have the courage to ask the teachers?
does anyone think its important?
does everyone think they can manage?
argh this starting to be too much
i never thought joining this would be so time-consuming
i knew i would have to sacrifice my time,
but ms stearns should have asked our teachers to let us off homework (like they i think planned to do in cico buff)
how else should we be able to learn our lines properly and do our homework and revise and get enought sleep?
HELP!!!
~feeling the pressure~,
michelle
omg we have to rehearse (us) until 6 on thursday and friday is the chinese test, chinese dictation, chinese book report (due) and so on...

Protecting Myself
Tuesday, September 12, 2006
i thought we could be friends,
good friends, or even best friends.
i thought that after all the chats,
we would be able to know each other better.
i thought we would forgive and forget
each others mistakes,
no matter big or small.
i thought that we could get along
without endless arguements and "getting mad"s.
was i too hopeful?
were my "i think"s all wrong?
was i too cheerful?
was i too excited?
was i
completely and utterly wrong?
Maybe.should i just shut up?
should i just go away?
should i just forget, all the good times we had together?
Maybe. But can I?will everything change?
will they change for the better?
Maybe, or Maybe Not.can everything change for the better
in just one single night?
with one single word?
with one single post?
Can it?what have i done wrong?
it was just an accident,
and accidents always happen,
everyone makes them.
everyone will just say:
"you were so mean to her"
"she was only protecting herself"
"but you really are annoying"
will you all ever know how much you can hurt me?and make me sad and angry at the same time?

""To have had to pair up with the person in class whom nobody likes for a school project,
Just because no one wanted to pair up with me?"
and to think that you were my friend.
and to think you always wanted to me my partner
you just wanted a good grade, thats all.
and to think of all the night chats
you just wanted to make sure i would be your friend, thats all.
and to think that you would always be there for me
you just wanted me to be there for you.
and to think you always picked me first in science
never letting me have a chance with anyone else, trying to get a good grade.
i won't say anything if i have to go with you
whether a teacher put us together, or everyone's taken.
you could have said something
and i could have tried.
i'm not going to say anything
i'm not going to do anything.
don't try saying sorry
it'll all be for nothing.
i'll never be the friend you always wanted
you'll never be the friend i thought
i'll still cooperate
for the sake of my grades."
this is what hurts.

&& didn't want to ask casper cuz he was a boy and maybe she's shy? haha
then we asked him for her and after a few times she finally got it

then dr lau said we were doing quite well
we were doing 7 parts instead of 4-5 la!
then towards the end dr lau asked me to join cme chinese music ensemble

Like ME for Who i AM
Saturday, September 02, 2006
You think i am hyper,
You think i am crazy,
You think i am selfish,
You think i don't care.
You think i don't try,
When i try my best to be friends.
Your words mean so much to me,
You could never imagine,
How one sentence of yours could hurt me so much.
I know how hard it is to have people misunderstanding you,
But at least you have your friends,
And in your circle of friends,
You will have loads of parties,
And loads of time hanging-out together.
In all my life, i've never had a friend that i could tell secrets to,
Trust, or Confide in.
Did you know how hard it was,
To have had to pair up with the person in class whom nobody likes for a school project,
Just because no one wanted to pair up with me?
Do you know how hard i try to fit in,
And all that i've done to try to be a good friend?
Yet everyone just hates me deep in their heart.
I'm Michelle Cheung, and You're Sarah.
When people call you with your last name,
They aren't close friends,
And everyone calls me with my last name,
Will you ever know how much it hurts?
Do you think that i laugh just because i am happy?
Do you think i can be happy everyday?
Do you think that i really can laugh when you're practically ignoring me,
When you say "i'm not going to talk to you, Michelle"?
Do you have ANY idea how much that hurts?
I know i'm annoying,
But do you really think that i like annoying you?
I don't.
Laughing is one way of covering up for my shyness,
And sometimes of pure happiness,
But to a ratio of 9:1
I'm sorry that i've practically ignored you guys on the first week of school,
It's just that i really want a best friend,
Whom i can really talk to,
And confess,
And that was my one chance.
(Valerie,
You were one great friend too,
Thanks for all you've done.
Now you can move on with Sarah and Ee Leng.)
In that one week,
Everythink changed.
You all grew close together,
Without me,
And hung out together.
Thanks for all the pretence,
And the wonderful past year.
YOU showed me the amount of difference having a best friend could make,
THANK YOU.
I once believed in you.
On your first day,
I was the one who first wanted to ask you over to our table,
But you never knew that, did you?
I admit that i'm not a great friend,
I admit i'm not perfect,
Not even close.
I really do try my best,
To be YOUR friend.
One to be appreciated,
To be accepted,
To be trusted,
To be thanked, and
To be remembered.
Maybe i thought we could be best friends,
Maybe i was overly excited about new friends,
Maybe i'm just born to be people's enemy,
To be the center of their HATE.
As i write this,
I realize what i pathetic child i am,
How desperate i am to have a happy school life,
And how much i believe that friendship can make a difference,
I fight to hold back my tears that come to my eyes.
I hope that one day you'll care,
One day you'll realize how imporant you are to me.
I hope that one day i'll find a best friend of "my type",
And life and school can be happy once again,
Without deception,
And without the wall that i'm setting up around myself.
I dream for that one day.
As i drift away from you,
From the life of happiness, smiles, and giggles.
Will you even remember me?
Will i still exist in your memory as a friend?
Bye forever,
Smiles, giggles, pokes, and laughter.
How hard will it be to say BYE to all those thinkgs that have made ME?
I'll find out soon enough.
