WL: Lol! Hello to you too! Were you introduced to UGGSS?? Haha, you are very cool too. :)

Kaiwen: HAHAHAH good for you. :D Too bad you didn't get into Choir or Ms. Lim would enjoy gaping at your relation with SN choir's red badge SC. :D Still can't believe you're her sister mann...I tell you, everyone is connected in some way in UGGSS. It's so amazing. :D


Hahahahaha that's all for your taggie replies. :D I'm so happy for those who got into Choir! Just a reminder though, please please do not make flamboyant gestures and scream at me if you discover that I'm SN Girl (1). Haha! Or else I'll be thrashed by the rest of my fellow choristers. I'm trying to stay anonymous here! But I'll still be there for ya if you need any help!! :D Any questions on choir (or art club if there're any people in it) FEEL FREE to hurl it onto the tagboard. We promise you a reply in 24 hours. Lol! :D (And for those who know who I am, *sshh.* ;) Never ever refer to me as SN Girl 1 in front of other people or you'll get whacked on the head. And NEVER EVER tell the other Choir seniors who I am, or you'll get slaughtered. :D)


Oh yes! For the rest of the UGGSS readers (you guys didn't tag! :( Humph!) please tell us which CCA you got into alright? Heehee!! :D

May the wind rise under your wings,

St. Nicks Girl (1) and (2)

PS: Another additional reminder!! SN girl 2 and I gently tell our CCA juniors that any discussion of UGGSS during CCA is strictly prohibited unless nobody is around. :D We will be to you as who we are in real life and not as the Guide Writers until CCA is over. :D Thank you!

Replies to LOTS of people's tags!!

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!! I SEE LOADS OF NEW TAGS ON THE TAG BOARD AND THAT MAKES ME HYPER EVEN THOUGH IT'S 10.36 AT NIGHT AND I NEED TO SLEEP. O_____O

Sarah: Greetings. :) I suppose I didn't tag you personally, I think someone (THANK YOU) introduced UGGSS to you. :D But welcome to UGGSS anyway! :D Another new reader and someone to help! Haha. :) Yes, I am in Choir, and no, I was not at the auditions (sadly) I WAS AT THE CCA FAIR THO. :) Oh well, it's ok! Don't worry about the choir stuff. I bet you'll get into some CCA you simply ADORE. :D

I read your blog (thank you so much for linking yourself! How'd you know we want people to link themselves automatically?? haha!) and you're the security monitor. (Which is cool, because three of the current Guide Readers have become monitors and still pending! :D) Security monitors' jobs are pretty easy, I suppose. No, it's not just about keys and all that. You still get to lead the class and be happy. Being a security monitor means going back to class at least five minutes earlier before the bell rings so you won't have your whole class standing by the locked door and tapping their feet. A late security monitor generally makes people grumpy, so don't be late for anything that requires you to unlock the door for (eg. after music lessons, drama lessons, if the class needs to do Friday Duty, remember to stay back and lock the door after they're done.) Never ever lose the key, because if you do, you'll have to bother the auntie or uncle and maybe pay for the key yourself.

And as for being a monitor generally, the best virtue is never be bossy, because nobody likes bossy people. Be fun, be original, be leader-like, but never, ever become bossy or too full of yourself. Treat your job seriously (and like I said, it's not all about keys) don't slack, and fulfill your task magnificently. :) If you can accomplish that, you will remain as a monitor in everyone's consciousness even when you step down after Semester One.

Tricia: And hello to you too, junior! :D Putting too many CNY deco will be too....? Too what? No, we don't know. Lol! If you mean too enthu, no way. One can never be too enthu for deco competitions. C'mon man, everyone knows that the more enthu a class is, the more likely they're gonna win. :) Too red? Haha, again, no. But if you ask SN Girl 2, her advice would be to check out the colour of your classroom first, and make sure the red matches with the colour. Good luck for the CNY deco competition! :D

Angie: Hello again Angie! :) We personally cannot offer you any tips on how to memorize your Third Language, but here's a pretty simple website on how to memorize a foreign language. :D Oyasumi nasai! :D

Once again, welcome to all new readers of the guide, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD IT ON TO OTHERS WHO NEED THIS. :D We LOVE having new readers! And thank you for saying our tips rock, yes we know they rock, haha! (I mean, it's not like we're boasting or anything, but c'mon, which lovely senior in St. Nicks thought of setting up a blog to help juniors to survive in SN in the middle of the December holidays??) :D

May the wind rise under your wings,

St. Nicks Girl (1)

PS: CCA results are supposedly out tomorrow, please tell us which CCA you got into!! :D :D :D

Its about time

Well, its been ages, and I MEAN AGES since i posted.. [audience wails]
Nyaha, sorry people, its just the CNY deco took up lots of time :( :) bittersweet.
Here's some tips to spunk up your deco [though i won't tell you ALL of my secrets ;D]

1]
If you need to paint a banner, ect. but you want it EXACTLY THE SAME from ur computer screen, heres what ta do.

Ask this super nice teacher to lend you a com: search the web/time drive: visualiser on!
And Walah! You got it on screen! All you have to do now, is turn the visualiser to the wall and nyaha! put ur canvas up paper ect. and start painting!

2]
Ang baos rock the nation. Angbao your notice boards, as borders, cut it into shapes, paste paste paste ect. And there ya have it

3]
Grills. The grills above the windows of the class are FANTASTIC. Weave ribbons ect. and tada.

4] This is really getting bad and impractical :( its a competition! And you guys are from many many many many many different classes. Make the deco unique! Try to put it up latest as possible, for some very evil people may copy ideas and turns out, some classes may have similar decos! [gasp! dies..] Don't worry, if it turns out similar. Don't start pointing fingers, and get into fights! [cat fight!!!!] It may just be a misunderstanding or you lovely lovely sec ones are so fantastically artistic that your artistic brains had some phyco connection! [SMILES WIDELY]

Oh gosh. What am i saying. Digress...

Well, deco's gonna be terrific! Team spirit sisterly love and all that wonderful stuff.

About class blogs and class t-shirts..

Best to put up the blog and email now - try asking teachers to send stuff to the email. Subject reps, post up notices man, discussions up too! AND YES. TAKE CANDIDS. MANY MANY MANY MANY WONDROUSLY HILARIOUS CANDIDS :D time to post up good memories onto a class blog!!!

Class tshirts. Keep designs simple and sweet - don't make it too complicated, for it will be EX.
Look for a cheap bargain, and start making phone calls, visits to the stores!

Weehee
Thats all for now!
WORK HARD! JIA YOU! CNY CNY CNY!!!!!!!!

SNGS GIRL TWO
-wow. how long have i not posted? O.O sorry One!

Replies to Angie :D

Hello Angie! I'm so glad you replied to my tags and didn't think this was a scam or anything. :)

As we always explain to bewildered new Guide Readers, we found your blogs mainly through Google searches. (Yes Google is wonderful) For your blog I typed in the key words "CHIJ St. Nicks, first day of school, fun, orientation camp" Haha, I wanted to look for new guide readers, thus the impromptu Guide Reader finding. :D PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING STALKED, because you're not. :) We just want to help.

CCA Options

I reckon there's not much use trying to persuade you to join any CCA now because you've probably submitted your choices already and gone for all your auditions, besides, I don't know what previous experience you had in primary school! So I guess I can't really answer your question, but you can try unique Secondary school CCAs like Girl Guides, NPCC, St. Johns, LD or Art Club. Choir is cool too, but that won't be a new experience for you if you've already done singing in primary school. =/

Haha! :)

Thank you for visiting and welcome to St. Nicks and UGGSS!! :D PLEASE KEEP VISITING AND ASK ANYTHING YOU WANT, as for the CCA question, you can ask about any CCA you're interested in! :D

May the stars watch over you,

St. Nicks Girl (1)

PS: OH YEAH please pass this blog on to your classmates if you can! :D Thank you!!

Just a quick note on photo-taking :D

Photo taking for you is going to take place very soon. I don't know when, but still, very soon.

Those photos are going to last for your whole life in St. Nicks, I don't think there will be a re-photo update session. :D

1) Remember to wear your blouse. If you forget, you have to borrow from someone else in your class, and her blouse might not fit you as nicely as your own blouse, and when the pictures come out weird, it's gonna be with you for the next four years. :D

2) Wipe your face if your photoshoot is in the afternoon and you're sweaty.

3) Put on the right expression. Don't look too awkward or startled, a small smile will do. Looking amused is great. :D

4) Make sure your hair is neat or everyone will be thinking you had that kind of hairstyle in Sec One.

The photos are going to be pasted in your PPRs, and lots of other documents, so SMILE and be happy!! :D

Cheers,

St Nicks Girl (1)

Valentine's Day and other stuff

Greetings. :D

V day's approaching, so here's a little guide to Valentine's Day in St. Nicks. Usually a noisy and flamboyant affair (if I may say so. It may be an exaggeration) generous girls bring huge bags of sweets and candies or little cards and distribute them to their whole class, seniors, juniors, or CCA mates. :D Coming to school empty handed is fine too, it's definitely not compulsory to spend your money on buying candies for your class.

Hm. Yeah. I guess that's all. Store the chocolates carefully in your bag or eat them before it melts, say thank you to whoever gives you the choccies, enjoy the sweets, and blast through Valentine's Day. :)

HOW TO IRON YOUR PINAFORE.

The ironing pro (aka ME) says "Make sure the pleats can be seen." I love ironing my school uniform btw. I find it calming and nice. :D If you want your pleats to be seen, just er. Hold them and press the edges of the pleats down, then iron it over, instead of just ironing it out straight, which will lead to cone shaped pleats. I don't know if you know what I mean. =/ Lol! :D

COMMON TESTS.

Friday is a Common Test day. Since this is a rather common-sense piece of wisdom, I shall just say it anyway. Manage your time well in the days before Common tests. Studying during the weekends help, because you'll be so loaded down with tests and projects during the weekdays. Your classrooms will be open till 5.30 (I think) after school, so that's a great place to study too. Doing last minute revision is bad. So listen out for test dates announcements clearly, and mark them with the TEST! stickers in our student diaries.

CCA: The Right Attitude

It's a strange new world to you, so look out for your own errors and participate actively in bonding sessions! Try not to get misleaded by first impressions, but at the same time use those instincts to help you be aware of the right/wrong company. It's definitely ok to ask a senior for help in anything, they're your seniors, after all. But don't take things for granted, either. Learn how to do things by yourself quickly, be attentive during CCA sessions, and don't grumble about your CCA in front of your CCA members. It's quicker to make enemies that way. I'd say it's ok to be shy during the first few practices/sessions, but make sure you open up soon!! Never ever pon your CCA unless you reall can't make it, it'll bring you to the attention of teachers and leave a bad impression on fellow CCA members. Be happy and ENJOY your CCA, and then things will be just fine for you. :D

Seriously, I guess that's all I have to say for this week. It's getting harder and harder to write these days as you guys make new friends and get to know your way around the school. Bleh. NEW IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW CHAPTERS OF THE GUIDE GRATEFULLY WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGGG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASK MORE QUESTIONS YOU FREAKIN' JUNIORS OR THIS GUIDE IS GOING TO BE DEAD!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHAAAAHHHHAAAAHHHHHAAAAHHHH. Seniors reading the guide are welcome to suggest new stuff too!!!!!!!!! JUST. DON'T LET IT DIE. :D

Keep well,

St. Nicks Girl (1)

PS: For all those that managed to get into Choir or Art club, please don't start pinpointing random people and asking if they're us!! Lol! We don't want our anonymity to be endangered. But being the extremely good Guide Writers we are, we'll still help you during CCA albeit under the name of our true names. :) LOOK OUT FOR KINDNESS. :D

PPS: OH YEAH. If you got into the Choir, PLEASE TAG ON THE BOARD TO LET ME KNOW!! :)

Let's keep it neutral, OK?

Alright.

Let's keep it neutral.

As in, you don't try to find out who we are, and we keep posting. We hope you understand the importance of our anonymity, and how we cannot possibly function with the whole school knowing who we are.

We don't want suspicions to be raised, serious. We don't want finger pointing in St. Nicks, like how "Ooh I think she's SN girl 1!", and accusing each other of creating the blog. We just want to remain like how we are now.

In the earlier days when the blog was still rising from its ashes, we planned to reveal our identities sooner or later when the blog is well established, and enjoy the shock on all your faces. (This is directed to the Sec Two cohort, not you, dear juniors) But looking at how things have gone so far, we don't think it's such a good idea anymore.

We will neither confess nor deny our identities. It would please us very much if you guys can keep it down and read the blog with respect, tagging regularly and contributing to UGGSS by spreading the blog to more Sec One juniors, and try not to probe any further into the matter of our identities. It makes us feel stifled and uneasy, like we're being blamed for something, and we know that this is not right: we should never be blamed for creating a blog to help juniors.

If you know who we are, so be it. Know it in yourselves, acknowledge that, and say no more of the matter. When things blow over, you can come gently approaching and, perhaps then, we will reveal our identities to you. :) Try not to make a big hoo ha out of everything. I know, I would've been as curious as any of you if somebody in my CCA did something so incredible like UGGSS, but I trust that once I have a vague idea of who that person is, I'll keep to myself and admire her from afar. :) (If you guys really admire us, that is.)

We don't want you to treat us any differently just because you feel that we're the Guide Writers, we're just normal people you eat and play and work with, just keep it that way, our alias in cyberspace is really a separate thing.

If you're familiar with the Angel Mortal game, in which different people pick random people for their mortals and send them letters and small gifts everyday, and the mortals write back to their angels, but the rule of the game is that you must never let your mortal know you are her angel, you would understand the rule of UGGSS. It is very much like this game, in which we help the juniors in anonymity, and all we want in return are opinions and replies and responses from the readers.

You're still our friends, still our partners, still our fellow CCA members. And we're still the same old people.

We trust that you will respect us and let us be, if you really want to know who we are, try asking through our UGGSS Goes Live! account (stnicksgirl1@hotmail.com and stnicksgirl2@hotmail.com) when everything is done. Never, ever ask us in real life, because we'll freak out and you'll get the same response you always got. :)

Thanks to everyone who spreaded the blog on their own, albeit only to Sec Twos, please pass the blog on to other Sec One juniors!! :)

UGGSS is now back in operation.

:D

Love,

St Nicks Girl (1) and (2)
