that's what friends are for

姚, 陈，胡，田，袁，孙，陆，车，王十姓同宗。
I didn't know what is the pronounciation of one more.

HOHO.
Anyone with the surname above have the same ancestors.
So interesting!
Not bad, my ancestors are very special one.
Like monkey god is 孙.
Haha, so i'll somehow be related to this great monkey friend. :P
But i think my surname 陈 is still the most common one. (:

Anyone wants to go FAR EAST PLAZA please ask me along. (:

{ 4:52 PM }

Ahhs. Have to retype!
The page just switched itself to some yahoo website.
Wasted my time. ><

I've changed my world!
As choices have consequences, i've made the choice to ask him to stay.
Which means it isn't the last lesson today!
Hohoho.
And i guess all my efforts in making the card was paid off. (:
But the naxt lesson may be awkward, cause of the things i wrote in the card. :P
Haha, cause i thought it'll be the last time i'll be seeing him today.
I really wonder, how did he develop that good sense of humour, and so open-minded.
I guess he also thought that he will be seeing me for the last time.
Dressed up so smartly and even put on perfume.
Haha, now my room is filled with the perfume smell.
Okay, at least for some time.

THANKS!
Haha, i wasn't disappointed, but in fact was SUPER TOUCHED.
Lols, every word became so significant.
You said waste money then why still send me.
Haha, it's just like a pleasant surprise, reading=opening up my birthday present in advance.
Hope you've enjoyed yourself.
DUI BU QI. I just feel so bao qian.
I'm fine i'm fine, really.
And i was obedient.
Was planning to stay up late at night, but went to bed after reading your message.
And really la, a da hao ren like me wouldn't be so petty de. :P

Monday.
Nobody knows who is going, and whether to go.
But i hoped to do something more.. um.
Don't know how to say.

And i'm sorry.
I just didn't feel like going out today.
Some other time can?
I will try my best to help you. (:

{ 12:46 PM }

Ahs!
I FORGOT!
It's my dad's birthday today....
So important yet i forgot. ><
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!
May you stay happy everyday and buy me more chocolates! (:(:(:
Which i'm sure you wouldn't mind at all!

Hohoho.
Celebrating later.
It rained today.
Why waihon sent me a message saying that it will not rain?
IT RAINED! LOLs.
Waihon, you predicted wrongly. :P

Weee.Tomorrow is the last day.
I hope i'll leave a good impression.
Yao ji de wo o!
And wo hui jiayou de!!! (:

Haha. this is added in one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KOK's BROTHER!
And kok! if u see this: do you have a blog? why waihon's link to your blog so odd one?

{ 3:44 PM }

So sorry so sorry so sorry!
Hope you will not be affected too badly.
Cause at that moment i forgot, do not let your emotions control you.

Is it really that obvious?
I tried my best to sound fine, but i guess i didn't succeed.
Perhaps you should put your mind into thinking what have you said.
But i know, you wouldn't realise.
Cause it shouldn't be the case.
I should continue to learn, how to lie flawlessly.
Don't get affected cause of me, that will spoil your mood, your day.
And i would rather you ask me yourself, than asking others to do it.
AND, the problem lies with me, not you.
I realised.

{ 8:23 AM }

I don't like ni men li yong wo to get what you want!
I may be nice but don't go over board!

{ 8:49 PM }

JIAO SHI JIE KUAI LE!
Actually it's not today, but we had our celebrations today!
We gave cards to Ms Faith, Mr Chua, Mr koh, Mrs Philip, Mrs Toh, Mrs Abdullah, and huilin gave her chinese teacher.

Hohoho.
The card was CREATIVE.
Yeayea. But i really couldn't find the one you wrote wrongly!
And you danced well.
Haha, so manly can still dance. so UNEXPECTED!

Wa. i just love MR CHUA!
He is really very funny. haha. so silly.
He thought the cake could be eaten!
Mi si ren de xiao rong...

Went bugis to shop today.
Yoshinoya. Okay, the aunty was really nice.
Hehe, i must be looking super friendly or like kind.
Two aunties approach ME to ask for directions! (:
Then i bought a bag.
White bag, and a bit silvery, but i think looks a bit like old old lehs. LOLs.
It's my own birthday present.
And leeling bought a shirt.
Right now i'ms till thinking whether i should have bought that pink shirt.
Ahhs. so nice la.
SEXY SEXY! haha :P

My MP3 got something wrong.
EH! what's wrong with you la!
Haha.
I'm crazy!

And anyway, really la, it's the thought that counts. (:(:(:

{ 7:30 PM }

~baking process~

~before~

~Can't upload the remaining photos~

Hohoho.

I wanted to bake cakes in the morning.

BUT after weighing flour, sugar and took out the eggs, i realised there's NO butter at home!

So i can't bake cakes.

Haha, then i created cookies! of my own recipe.

So my house was filled with the chocolately smell~ yummy yummy~(:

Mum and dad said the cookies were nice. (:(:(:

Afternoon went to school for higher mother tongue.

Saw junjie accompany eunice.

Hahaha. soooo sweet!

Also missed the times with xinyu, theresa and leeling.

So its considered a reunion!

YEAH! it's interaction time tomorrow!

Haha, means i can play stress!!

And INTERACT~

And get my card. :P

By the way, how did they know i've got an ang moh name?

Haha but it's nice what.

{ 7:48 PM }

Back again!
Haha, actually went offline le, but i wasn't in the mood to revise, so i came back.
Don't know why suddenly thought of the letter.
Can i go back to two years ago?

xinyu xinyu if you see this.
Remember secondary two we were having the parent's teacher meeting day?
He came back with the heart lolli.

And in heartlands mall at IMM.
Where my special memories lies.

Lols. Cause of this dream that made me yearn to go back to those days.
Haha. "ku xiao"XD
Want to cry!
Lend me your nice and warm shoulder. ^^
Go out together someday kaes.

Haha, how many kit kat can u say in 20secs?
I got tongue-tied. lols.

{ 9:32 PM }

HOHO!
Emaths and GEOgie are over!
It rained today.
FEEL THE RAIN ON YOUR SKIN!
Haha.
But having an umbrella seems like didn't had one.
Cause we were still wet.
LOLS.

Having spent quite some time on deciding what to buy for the teachers.
In the end we managed to get presents for MS FAITH, MRS PHILIP, MR TAY, MR KOH AND MR CHUA.
Wa. Haha, it'll be nice if those were my birthday presents.
Ha, but i'm still looking forward to receiving TWO!!
But still must hope that i will be able to get it.

PUT DOWN PUT DOWN.
fang xia fang xia.
haha. dunno how to spell in other languages.
AT LEAST, you got that momento with you and the wonderful memories.
zhe jiu gou le. (:

AHHs. I misplaced my handphone pouch my brother gave me.
Guilt guilt guilt.
The day is coming, and relating it back to the dream.
It would be a pleasant and unforgettable suprise if it was to happen.
LOLS.
Suddenly thought of MR TAY's saying, impossible means i am possible.
Well... then i would be praying hard then.
At least i have some memories too, and the letter he wrote.
And people were jealous of me.
Haha, zhe jiu gou le.

Everyone can be so sweet.
Okay, shall continue to stay positive!

{ 8:16 PM }

WEEE.
My lovely big big computer is back again.
Miss you so much.
I just love your keyboard and mouse.

And it's great that CH and English is finally over!
Though i think i didn't do that well.
But nevermind, i'm just looking forward to wednesday!
HOHO! It's going to be a shopping spree!
Leeling say we are going bugis on friday.
Looking forward too!
And my seniors are coming back! (:

So sad.
I posted a comment for JASON TAN.
Haha, he said my eyes got stamp.
It's a true compliment kaes!
He should be saying thank you. :P

Tomorrow will be emaths and geography.
I don't know how can i study.
Cause i didn't realised some time ago that geography paper is just tomorrow!
Well well, we'll see.

Crap, i should have learn it.
Sorry dad!

{ 1:25 PM }

WEEE. It's a Sunday!
I woke up at like 7.30am. then went back to sleep again. until 8 plus.

LOLS.
I was still expecting.
Haha, it's just a feeling that you can't get away from it.

Was watching olympic just now.
Haha. I dunno what to call it, the competition where you throw the hula hoop here and there.
Their flexibility is really amazing.
IMPRESSED!

Most people aren't in the mood to study.
I just wished that it will be a schooling day everyday.
I just like to go to school, to eat, play and chat.
Not that much of to study.

Looking forward to eight pm today!

{ 3:04 PM }

LOL.
I've also got nothing much to post about.
But the thing is that my CPU's power box spoiled, and now i have to use my brother's laptop.
Cause today he was opening up the CPU to clean.
Then in the end it became spoilt.

So few people are online in the afternoon
I was online thrice, before the CPU got problem.

Haha. okay.
Don't worry, i'm only like emoing once a week.
So i'm still fine. haha.
BY THE WAY, thanks huhs. (:

I realised history and social studies have quite a lot to study.
I took like 2hours plus to read the unimportant things for social studies.
Such a waste of time.
Oh and Leeling and i hav decided to buy the teacher's day present on wednesday.
Since we'll only be starting our paper in the afternoon on thursday.

Hohoho. miraculously, i received the message today.
Money really makes the world go round.
So i should be thankful that i still owes him money.
How? now i really must decide whether to make the marshmallow trix.
Then i would have to make for all other teachers too.
Few more days for me to think about it.

I saw the Prom night blog tagged by our classmates.
Haha.
Who knows it will evolve to become a fourthree tagging blog.

So much work not done...

{ 10:21 PM }

Yeah! It's a friday.
Ahhs. my arm just hurts when i'm typing.
The files are too heavy...
Now the whole arm is aching so much.
By the way, thanks Hardy!
Haha Huilin too. (:

Just had my dinner.
Haha, miraculously i didn't feel sleepy but happy.
Perhaps it's because econs is finally over.
Okay, though it's only paper 2.

Aunt is asking mum to go overseas with her.
Go go go.
But she's still worried about me.
Worry this and that then don't need to go already.
Haha, i'm forever the little girl in her heart.
Zhang bu da ma?

Again, i have to say, time flies.
It' going to be teacher's day celebration next friday.
Which also means the arrival of September.
Oh crap, i had wanted to make something for him.
But now i don't think i'll have the time.
And will he even be coming!?

No time to buy presents fot teachers..
Prelims are going on...
And the thing is that we don't even know what to buy.

Anyway some updates about school events.
NJC came to give us a JC talk last wednesday.
This encouraged so many people to aspire to go into NJC.
Mrs Teo was saying to hope see 50 over students in NJC next year.
Oh well, what a high target, but hopefully we can fufil her "dream".
But i should say, WE WILL be able to do it.
Albert was saying it's 5 points not 6 points to get to NJC.
And i hope i'll have time to go to the open house kaes. (:

Then we had PROM night briefing.
Yihua forgot me.
Okay, nvm, but doreen and pohhui were saying the same thing.
Haha, i agree!
The worst thing is that Hui Lin and Hui Ying mistaken wei leong as a girl!
Dots dots dots. LOLS.
And what is it? Street and style?
It's like the wrong theme when we are going to a hotel.
York hotel for prom night.

Haha, but i love going to hotels.
It feels grand and formal.
What about prom clothes?
Everyone is discussing about the prom dressing.
Hair, dressing, shoes, bags, accessories and make-up.
LOLs. PROM KING AND QUEEN voting,
It's those few we know will be in already.
So we don't need to choose.
Oh, and the seating plan. sitting with who??
"GET A DATE!" lols.

Haha, i'm going to win the lucky draw top prize!
Anyway, if the particpants don't becomes the Prom king or queen, they will still receive fabulous prizes... MONEY and vouchers.
Haha, not bad right.
But still there will be the best dressing award.
Haha, it will be ME! haha.

All the teachers are so nice to us today.
They allowed us to revise our economics.
Even Mr Ng. Haha, quite surprising though.

Thank you rubbish bin for donating the paper to recycling bin.
By the way, Ms faith was saying you and christopher has the most untidy handwriting.
Hahaha.
So improve handwriting uhs!
The paper has marks of untidy handwriting de..i wonder is whose? Lols.

It's an EMO day for today.
Mood swings which is like killing my health.
Dou shi ni hai de.
SIAN SIAN SIAN.
Where is my sunshine or startshine then?

{ 6:10 PM }

Will i be forgotten?
Perhaps.
But nevermind.
I shall see... (:

I realised it long ago...

{ 3:15 PM }

NIGHT STUDY IS OVER.
For my case.
Haha, cause not staying in school anymore.
Why does it rains only when we are going home?
Haha, but i like raining.
Feel the rain on your face! XD

Congraulations to MR NG.
His wife gave brith to a baby girl on 17/08/2008.
Her name will be Jing Hui.
Haha, nice name, cause it has a hui in it!
Hoho, it's my name...

People around me are super depressed these few days.
Makes me feel like crying with them.
Haha, but superwoman shalll be strong to stay by your side.
Hey people out there, you still have me! hahaha.
If only i can change my sex, to become a guy...
SPLIT PERSONALITY. Quite scary though.

Well well.
I hope that it wouldn't happen.
The wound will be difficult to heal.
So painful. i know i know...
So my biggest wish is that people around me and INCLUDING me will be able to live everyday happily.

And i don't know why am i here posting when i should be revising my economics.
I want to remove this word from my dictionary.
Really shouldn't have it.
Anyway, something so random.
ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU IN EVERY WAY.
It's really like... thanks! haha. ^^

Our prelims are here.
SIAN SIAN SIAN!

{ 5:50 PM }

It's raining..
RAIN RAIN RAIN.
Wanted to change my blog song to 淋雨中 for like 1 hour?
Haha, or others.
But decided not to.
Cause i'm too lazy...
And it's too wu liao...

Maybe i really need to go out for some fresh air.
I just want to feel close to nature and the environment.
Give you the therapeutic effect.
But i think i got the spelling wrong.

Yummy yummy.
The small fishes mummy fried are nice.
Haha, i was asking dad what was he eating, he said it was FRIES.
But it was fish.
Maybe he was kidding.
I poked half of my kit kat into his rice bowl.
Looks nice.
Haha, maybe the combination of taste will be nice too (:
HOPEFULLY.

Oh, talking about eating.
Now i share my mum's concern.
At home i never had to decide what to eat, she was the one who made the decisions.
Which is like super tough.
So i've learnt to appreciate my mummy even more!
Hahaha. (:
Night study tomorrow.
What to eat uhs?

{ 5:45 PM }

Yeah! so proud of singapore!
Hohoho. They are in the finals finals!
Haha. Let's all pray for the table tennis girls!
Hope that can get GOLD.
Glory to the country.. (:

Didn't manage to complete much homework today.
Cause it just so sian.

Haha.
Why everyone asking me the same question?
It's quite surprising.
So which means my mei li zhi shu very high right. XD
But imagine someone ask you back the same question, would you ever say yes?

Haha.
Also learnt that: do not judge a book by its cover.
See them so mature but they have such "young children heart".
Expression error. but nevermind.

Wa. everyone is feeling bored...

{ 8:20 PM }

Which Disney Heroine Are You?

Created by BuddyTV

I took the test: Which Disney Heroine Are You?

Haha. i'm snow white!

Which Heroes Character Are You?

More on 24. Created by BuddyTV

Don't know who.

But heard that he is very li hai one.

So hohoho! that's me!

Some things maybe wrong, cause don't even know what is the question asking about.

Haha, so just think about the good side of me!

{ 8:30 PM }

It's a friday!
Time flies.
One week is over just like that.
Today oral was disastrous.
We got the worst topic i guess.
Most people are not happy with the oral.
Well, it's no use crying over split milk, so, pull up our socks and get ready for the upcoming examinations. (:

Night study is going to end soon.
Sighs.
It's just one more week.
Again, time flies.
This coming friday will be economics paper.

Homework homework.
Lots of homework.
Such that i don't think i will have any time for my revision.
I still prefer school days.
I want to go to school.
And i realised i am very adsent-minded.
I forgot to take the answers from MR KOH!
And yesterday actually know that have to bring geo tb, in the end still forgot...

Stayed back to clean the class today.
Jasong, rayson, zexun and i swept and helped clean the floor.
It's sparkling clean now!
Haha! We'll not be afraid of not having jobs in the future!
Cause it's the teamwork of the class.
I hope we don't get classrooms in bad state on monday.
And maybe we will receive compliments from teachers claiming the classroom is so clean. XD
Junjie too!
He helped to pack the class and got his whole shirt drenched.
EH! btw, i'm not rubbish bin or recycling bin. LOLS.

Haha.
Why did you emo.

By the way, have been encountering jerky buses today.
Carrying files that are so heavy still cause me to fly here and there.
Very busy leh!
Haha, then kept dropping my wallet. ~embarrasing~
Today went home that time the uncle never see me or something then the door just closed when i wasn't even standing properly.
And the bus got mosquitoes.
I got two mosquito bites. ><
Haha, shall just fly home or walk home.
Then i will have hand pain and legs pain tonight.

Anyway, i just realised something.
So everything is not real and true at all.
Lols. but i didn't expect anything.
I don't know why it's so different this time.
Have i changed? maybe..

{ 7:09 PM }

Have been staying back for night study these few days.
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tuesday was a whole lot of people.
Jason, richard, jing hong, zexun, lois and I.
Wanted to go IMM but it was drizzling, so changed to JEC.

An Jing.. ying wei..
BU GAO XING.
Something irritated me.
Something that you all wouldn't notice.

Haha, zexun was so funny anbd strange.
Cause he drank the whole bowl of soup down.
Be cautious of your health!

Da hao ren JasONG did a good deed again!
Haha. He saw someone dropped an umbrella and ran to return to the person.
So kind and alert uhs.
It's always him among us that encounter such things, haha.

Wednesday.
Went IMM to eat.
I didn't make the decision this time.
But we went macdonalds.
It was still so bright and early when we got back home.
I like the double deckered bus.
Sitting on top feels great.
Haha.

O level oral tomorrow.
Hopefully everything will go well.
JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU!
haha, btw, you've got an admirer!

{ 8:06 PM }

It's a SUNDAY!
I'm really glad my niece didn't come today.
Haha, cause i really got lots of work to do.

I have completed all my maths homework!
And started packing my thick stacks of worksheet.
Mixed up with all subjects.
I packed for like 3 hours!!
And some not done yet.
Now my back hurts.. having a backache but don't know why.

SBQ, the difference question didn't know how to answer.
Okay, but i must finish the SBQ today.
And i didn't realise we got so many SBQ to do!

WEI! cheer up cheer up!
Things will get better, and let time heal the pain.
Don't let this affect your studies..

YEAH! watching movie tomorrow!
A break for us..
Ok, but also meanwhile we shall study smart and work hard..
ECONS test on tuesday..

Brother showed me the video clip he took.
It was yesterday's national's day firework.
He was on the 37th floor's balcony which had strong wind and it was drizzling.
But i am sure that was a memorable experience.
ESP when you're together with someone you like.
Haha. so cool!

I really didn't know a lot of things.
But i will always be willing to learn!
You're never too old to learn things.. (:

{ 3:58 PM }

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOREEN.

Yesterday was watching the news.
A baby was born on 08/08/2008 and at 12.08am.
So adorable! Haha. all babies in the world are the most adorable one.

No NDP tickets this year.
Sighs. But my bro can watch the parade and fireworks later.
With his girlfriend in the hotel room the girl's family booked.
Rich.
I also want! haha.

Ate durian today again.
Cause went to pay respects to my ancestors, then mum say grandma and grandpa likes durian, so she bought for them.
But one thing bad is that it's not the natural durians like we picked last time.
Maybe will cause headache, but nevermind.
It's has been quite some time since we had durians already.

Lots of homework given during this short "holiday".
But i'm looking forward to tuesday.
Though have econs test but we've got night study.
And i realised i really liked school days.
And sometimes it'll be more productive than at home.

The weather is so hot today!
Feel like going out too... hmm.

{ 2:12 PM }

We had national day celebration today!

At the JE cultural hall.

Haha, all the secondary fours were really enuthusiastic today.

We sang with all our might and held hands.

Got that patriotic feel.

I think Ms Faith enjoyed herself too.

We live to sing. haha. cause i'm a choir member.

The seniors were asking why choir are singing these kinds of songs.

Haha, i wonder too.

But anyway it's just great that we got gold.

Albert took 3 awards.

The trophy or dunno call what looks really heavy.

So sorry, can't help you carry.

Anyway you all will be going to botanic garden.

Haha, i can't follow too.

Siew rong was very pretty today.

Couldn't recognise her.

And lizanne too.

I always thought she went SA. In the end it was Catholic.

Then we took pictures at the reception area.

Wen song was still that funny.

Siok managed to take a photo with Arthas, the PROM KING.

I'll remember him for that.

Haha, i took two photos with yew jian too.

Cause he was hanging around us with his camera.

Albert top in almost everything again in NJC.

But he got third of fifth for his physics.

It's very good already.

He told me, study smart but not study hard.

Wow.. Heard that? haha

And he got a different coloured tie cause he's a councillor.

Got name tag somemore.

I want to continue be a coucillor too!

I'm always so proud of my seniors.

The five of them. Albert, Chong Keng, Lizanne, Wen song, and siew rong.

They say said the same thing, we all must JIAYOU too.

Haha. hopefully we wouldn't disappoint them.

Yew jian cheer up kaes.

Ta shi lian le. ><

Surprising right!

Ok, but i hope things will get better for you. (:

JO! Thank you!

Haha, so sweet so sweet.

Kind-hearted, thoughtful and so sweet, haha.

So it is her loss to not be with you. (:

REALLY lots of thanks uh.

{ 4:30 PM }

Weee. i can finally post.
Cause i was having trouble with loading the blogger some time ago.

Okay, monday really made me really angry.
You know.
So depressed and fustrated.
Made me have the guilt feeling and making the wrong choices yourself.
Choices have consequences.

We stayed back for physics night study.
But not very productive, cause we kept talking for that day.
Haha. Scary lizards!

Tomorrow is maths night study.
No english lesson tomorrow!
But i enjoyed today's lesson.
Cause i love Ms jane's stories.
How i wished she would introduce the doctor to us. Haha.

Always be my baby.
It was dedicated on 987FM.
COOL and super nice.
Touching topuching.. (:

{ 9:55 PM }

The veggies that the TAN family grows.
Haha. looking at them is not only good for eyes but helpes you to forget your troubles!

Haha. like advertisement selling my veggies away.
But the seeds are imported.
And we couldn't bear to eat them up.
It's organic food, healthy too! :)

{ 8:28 PM }

I'm all right. Don't worry. (:

Arghs. but sometimes you just can't stand it right.
Like what you say, ya, it's super fake.
I think i must be blind at first or something, such that i couldn't see this.
Not very happy about it.
All the bad things leaving for me to say to others, while you remain as the innocent one.
You knew i would just clear up your mess unknowingly, and get myself into trouble.
I don't like it...

Ha, sometimes i think we should learn the bad things.
Or rather to not let others exploit your weakness.

Yesterday i did something that i feel that i was wrong.
I should have agreed.
I was waiting for the reply, until midnight.
But there was still no reply.
You wasn't there for me when i need you, but now coming back when i don't really need you.
I told mum.
She said: Ya...

A saturday.
I was thinking about the past when i claimed all staurdays will be a happy one.
I missed your gummies, your sweets.
Lols. Maybe i am just like a small children to you.

Oh yea. NIGHT STUDY on monday.
Don't need to say, i will bring the textbook. lols. (:

{ 3:37 PM }

It's has been quite some time since i posted.
Feeling super upset today.
And BORED!

Ok. in fact has been upset since a few days ago.
Haha, but today tested our telepathy.
Xinyu knew what i was thinking about.
Shh. don't say uhs.. (:

I can't believe it.
Haha, perhaps you too.
What so good? what so nice? is is cause of the "naive" susbstance in there?
DETEST. maybe it's still not a strong word enough to describe.
Turned my world upside down.
Though i know don't ever let your emotions control you.
That's why until now, until today i haven ever said those words.

UPSET.
That's why i did badly for oral today.
I really COULDN'T THINK, and SPEAK properly.
But some things you just couldn't feign ignorance.
IT's better to know lesser things and not know what is it at all.

But i'm really happy today on my way home.
Haha, we so called "walked home" together.
I knew more about you and i was glad you said hi to me again.
Actually you are really very nice!
Haha, kind of sweet too.
How i wish the road was longer or even never ending, so that i would be able to forget all my troubles for the day.
Hey, you really must JIAYOU kaes.

Oh well, my heart did cheer up a little now. (;
Thanks.

Arghs, the bubbletea shop wasted my time.
Have waited for very long.
SORRY JJ, accompany you on monday kaes!
Don't be upset or angry uhs!

{ 3:39 PM }
