ARGH DOING I N I HAS GOT TO BE THE SIANEST THING EVER BAH so much so that the endorphines from my chocolates aren't working.

Long time since I touched this blog heh. Brief update on the recent happenings:

Block tests were terrible. I'm hoping for a pass in all subjects. I can't even hope for a B in bio. I think there's too many topics to study for. And during bio lab ms sun kept looking at me when she said the class needs to study harder and that there are some people who really cannot make it wah is this a sign?? :/

JTS was on thursday and it was pretty good. We had dinner at Sakura restaurant at Dhoby Gaut. Ate til I was super full haha the cakes and puddings there are so nice!! >.< http://armorgames.com/play/6313/doodle-god haha I started playing this when I got too bored of INI to continue.

world cup starts today/yesterday!

2010-06-12T00:01:00.005+08:00

First time I'm blogging so late at night. This is all due to boredom and sianness. Nothing new here heh.

Went to school today to study math with ziyan and it was somewhat productive haha I "finished" functions and differentiation and we would have finished integration too if not for the fact the our brains were fried by both the math and the weather. "Finished" = attempted to do as many questions as possible lol

Finally get to sleep in tomorrow xD I've been waking up early for the most part of this week. Need to start practising flute for real starting tomorrow. The pieces are getting harder and harder and I need to get my fingers around them properly :/

Bio homework (cell signaling tutorial, 2 mcq papers, 2 planning questions) is still untouched - and will be untouched til bt2 is over- , Issues and Ideas is still at the first set of questions and LIT REVISION IS COMPLETELY UNINITIATED GRAH
ziyan: "let's totally abandon lit" LOL her thoughts echo mine. I wonder what will happen if I just go for lit without studying. I think not much difference haha except for emily dickinson and carol ann duffy part.

hurhur shall go to bed soon. seeya!

no goal in life bah

2010-06-07T21:49:00.002+08:00

Went for CO concert yesterday with rachel at singapore concert hall. It was fabulous!! haha The music was totally awesome. I love the harvest festival song.

There's math tuition tomorrow morning and then interview core module at 130 >.< SIAN DE YAO MING. bahhh I hope interview won't be too bad.. and that math tuition isnt too draining lol I haven't touched math since the last tuition. Wonder what we'll be doing this time round.

okay gotta get back to mugging chem :/ this blog may close down anytime heh

Not all who wander are lost

2010-05-29T18:49:00.003+08:00

School's been amazing dull recently - hence the lack of things to blog. But yesterday my family went out to celebrate my sis' birthday and it was certainly not dull haha We went to Breeks Cafe in Causeway point for dinner and had so much fun xD My sis and I started doing stupid things like posing weirdly for my dad's camera and playing with the dessert lol. My dad was very funny.. he wanted rice but Breeks is a western restaurant then he kept asking the waitress which dish got rice lol lol The bill was O.O sky high but we had $60 voucher so it was good xD. We plan to go Seoul Garden next! Woo! haha

Today I went for the career and scholarship core module with joanne, caleb, louisa, ziyan, shi ing, zijin and chris and it was quite interesting. My scope of possible careers hasn't narrowed down by much but I think I have a clearer idea of what I want to do now. And the workshop conducted some interview skills training and skits too. Wahh I hate interviews >.< I can't imagine how the actual Interviews workshop will be like come 8th june.

Got abit of cough since yesterday :/ what did I do/eat/who did I go near to deserve this? Hope it goes away soon. Coughs are a horrible hindrance to my flute playing.

SATS coming up on 5th june!! -feels unprepared- lol My revision schedule for the month is packed.

begging time to stand still

2010-05-12T19:19:00.003+08:00

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I've narrowed it down to: doctor, sth to do with life sciences or interior designing. lol yeah I know the last option is vastly different from the other two right? but hm.. I need something that will help me get a job that offers me lots of variety. If not I'll just get bored of the job after awhile and I'll start job hopping lol.
Aish.. it's almost time to make decisions and I can't decide :/ What if I end up making the wrong decision and regeret it for the rest of my life?

Btw, the "get a rich husband" was a joke that I anyhow came up with in class lol I do not want to be a taitai. I'd probably be bored to death being one. Plus I'd rather marry someone I like rather than someone rich :)

One tutorial a day makes the guilt go away

2010-05-06T17:18:00.004+08:00

[quote ziyan] I don't know how we managed to survive on thursdays the past few months with math tuition from 7-9pm on thursdays. We were both so tired after school today that we didn't talk as much as usual on the bus.

Loads of things to do this weekend:

TTOTS essay plan
TIMES essay plan
No Name essay - 2 paragraphs
Study for chem spa
Study for bio spa
(ohgod just rmbed) electrochem 2 tutorial

T-T so many things to do.. Look at the triple list of essays! I think I shall do electrochem 2 tutorial today. I've decided to adopt ziyan's "one tutorial a day" plan. It's pretty reasonable and at least I'll feel that I've accomplished something.

On tues/wed, we found our thankyoumswang board at the dustbin at the side of the wing T-T at first we all thought caiyi brought it home last fri but she said she couldn't find it so she didn't. I think some irresponsible person from our class left it on our class bench and when the wind blew, it flew. So some stranger picked it up and placed it by the dustbin. The best part is, the whole board got TRAMPLED AND STEPPED on. All the drawings have shoe prints on them and GRAH my drawing is smudged beyond saving. I'm more angry with the person who left the board lying around than the people that stepped on the board so when I find out who the former is, I'm gonna smack the person.

Went to the doctor in the morning and she diagnosed my knee as having chrondromalacia patellae - in other words, my right knee cartilage is wearing down. Which she says is very sad since I'm still young TT-TT hai.. So in case you didn't know, I fell down twice on the same knee around the end of last year and injured my knee but the pain eventually went away. Until it decided to make a come back when I started training for 2.4 :/

The 2.4 probably aggravated it because the pain's worsened since friday. So the doctor says to not do napfa [she gave me this half-horrified look when I asked if I should do 5 items on friday lol], no pe for one month, try not to climb stairs, run, jump and NOT TO PUT ON ANY WEIGHT. wahh how to lose weight if I can't exercise lols so I've decided that there will be: no fast food, no ice cream, no chao guo tiao, no oily food and chocolate intake is to be the utmost minimal.

On to other things:

Tutoring was cancelled yesterday and will only resume next saturday D: I don't know why I look forward to tutoring so much haha it just seems rather enjoyable teaching kids math. There was math tuition (for myself) at 11am yesterday too. It was alright but the beginning of tuition was like trying to start an rusty old car. My brain felt like it was stuck in superglue lols

After tuition ziyan, caleb and I went to plaza sing to watch "Date Night". Fantastic haha it was super funny. It's about this married couple who decide to make their weekly boring "date night" a special event and it turned into a huge mess because they pretended to be thieves and all the wrong sort of people came after them haha steve carrell and tina fey have good chemistry.

Reached home at 6, took a quick bath and went out at 630 for my ahgong's 81st birthday party. The food was great though I wish my relatives had ordered some rice to go along with the other dishes heh.

Alright that's all for now. Shall drag myself to go do math revision for 28th april

the velvet sky

2010-04-20T21:14:00.002+08:00

Today was pretty tiring heh probably because I reached home around 7 and then still went running after that. My nail got split on sunday when I was trying to pry something open and today when I was pulling my shoe tongue out, the nail somehow went "PIAK" and it 裂开 even more. It even started bleeding TT-TT my poor nail.

Chem lesson was normal as usual today. I think Mr Liew was nervous today because 2 teachers were sitting in to observe him and all haha He sounded so jittery for the first ten min.

There was DE quiz during math tutorial and mrs boo came to confront me about math remedial heh. Ahwells not gonna say anything here. The DE quiz was surprisingly easy. If lecture test was that simple then there shouldn't be any problem haha

Got back Paper 5 unseen drama today! 29/50 haha my highest score out of all four lit essays. I almost fell asleep today during lit lecture and chem lecture too. Dunno why I was tired. Maybe it's cos of all the late night korean dramas haha

okay that's all for now :D

PW results!

2010-04-16T21:46:00.002+08:00

A for Awesome!! hahaha so relieved to have done well for PW. I was nervous and scared before the results came out that I felt like I needed to strangle something to relieve the agony of waiting like that. I almost wanted to hit a.wong in my already impatient state la.. he purposely dragged the thing and made us wait and listen to his longwindedness before giving us the results.

PE today was tiring. My muscles very tired now.

Thinking of not doing homework tonight as a treat to myself since I did well for PW LOL

backache :/

2010-04-13T19:26:00.002+08:00

Went to watch water polo finals against RI today at ccab. The weather was super hot and ziyan was so smart, she brought along one of those campaign fans to cool herself lols. The match was quite exciting but sad to say, we lost 2-8 to RI D: And my impression of RI has dipped a few notches too heh

Got back GP essay and Lit paper 1 essays and one of the Lit paper 5 essays. GP essay, WSS essay and the paper 5 essay are near passes. The unseen poem comparison was an utter failure lols A. wong wrote "SO? SO?" all over the second page of my essay. Then he commented that the second half of my essay was severly limited in analysis. Well of course it was! I ran out of things to say by then because I didn't understand the two silly love poems lols

This is terrible loh so far all my subjects have been either just pass or fail. BIO IS MY LAST HOPE :X So I'm really praying hard to any god/goddess that is up there in the skies tonight to please please give me a good mark for bio tomorrow.

The weather still hates me lols Didn't manage to run yesterday or today because of the rain. Well, yesterday was also because I had to reschedule my flute lesson to yesterday 530 because of the water polo match. Dilema: pon bad rec and go running at home since I haven't run for 4 days in a row or go for bad rec which I haven't been to for a few weeks and attempt to exercise arm muscles? LOL

it's raining it's pouring

2010-04-05T17:22:00.005+08:00

I think I've been blacklisted by Lady Luck recently. I keep having instances of bad luck especially where the weather and slippery floors are concerned.

1. Slippery floors

Yesterday I was doing math tut in the living room when I realised I needed my scientific calculator. I walked over to my room, where my mom was mopping the floor, and BAM! the next thing I knew I was on the floor. The best part is that when I picked my sore self off the floor, my scientific calculator WASN'T in the room. Instead it was lying innocently inside my school bag which was hiding itself in a corner of the living room. The worst part is that the ball of my foot (that part near the big toe) starting hurting when I put even the slightest pressure on it. How awesome is that?!

Today I nearly slipped in the bathroom. -.- honestly, how many times can this happen?

2. The weather

Has been totally KISIAO. Yesterday it rained in the morning so I decided that I would go jogging in the evening. So of course because of my fall, my foot was hurting but I decided to try jogging anyway. The moment I walked out onto the road towards the park, I could feel water droplets on my head. Apparently it's been raining all the while, just that I couldn't see it because the droplets were quite small. Pff..

This morning rain again. Woke up feeling freezing cold. The sky was so black and dark so I brought my jacket to school. 谁知道the morning sky was a bright blue without a single cloud at all. Never mind, I take it that it was a blessing in disguise because math lecture felt like Antarctica today. On the way home, at bukit timah it rained. By the time I was halfway across the expressway, it stopped raining. When I reached home, the scorching sun reigned once more. When I reached home the interesting thing was when I looked out of the balcony windows, it was sunny. Then when I looked out of the kitchen windows at the opposite end of the house, it was dark and gloomy. Predictably, it rained within half an hour and all my plans to run have been thwarted by the rain.

Anyways today has been a fairly interesting day xD A US lecturer came over to teach us about US politics during GP and what I can say is that US politicians seem fairly selfish and childish. Just cos the republicans want to win the next elections, they criticise the health reform bill so that the public will have a bad impression of it and not support the democrats. -.- I mean, how self-centered is that? But otherwise, US politics seems really complicated :X Kinda thankful Singapore's one isn't so mangled.

Running in the park

2010-04-02T20:11:00.003+08:00

Exercise is good.. makes me feel less fat haha I went running in the park today and it felt better than the last time I ran, which was two days ago. There were alot of old people in the park running/jogging too. I think it's a good thing cos I'll tell myself "eh how can you run faster than that old man in front?! faster! don't stop!" haha psycho-ing myself.

Haven't blogged in awhile.. I got my math and chem papers back and sad to say I didn't pass either. Chem was more of a shock than math cos chem is usually one of my passing subjects. Hai.. Nevermind, at least I'm determined to do well the next time. I can't bear to fail chem again.

Gonna log off soon. Evenings are good times to just relax and read book while listening to the radio :D

(I just realised I used the word "good" like three times. Gotta expand my vocab lol)

time to partyyy

2010-03-26T18:05:00.004+08:00

It's finally over!! haha

I'm so glad that block tests are done and over with. Bio was quite good xD except for a few weirdo questions and the qian bian/qian da/qian zou essay question lols

After bio me, ziyan, zimin, louisa, zijin, sarah, joanne and caleb all went to cineleisure to have lunch at BBQ chicken. Their portion of food is quite big leh haha I couldn't finish my fish and chips. Joanne and caleb were so sad today cos everyone was in a teasing and bullying mood after bio lols When everyone finished eating shi ing appeared and joined us for awhile.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON XD XD go watch it you haven't. It's very very good haha The story plot flows quite smoothly and the dragons are very cute, especially the black one [toothless] haha

Bio lecture tomorrow. Stupid lecturers. How can they make us come back for lecture just one day after the paper? And I'll be missing the first peer tutoring session of the year D:

block test day 2

2010-03-23T17:41:00.001+08:00

Math sucked so bad the words "fish it fish it" went around in my head like ten times at the end of the paper.

Hope lit will be better heh

rabbit tuft

2010-03-17T20:44:00.004+08:00

Today was the only day I didn't have to go somewhere and instead of sleeping in, my mom decided to wake me up at 730am to go running T-T okay fine I admit that I wanted to go running in the morning [napfa and all] but grah.. running sucks..

Brief summary of the past few days:

Sunday:

Went for nus open house and attended the talks by the faculties of law, science and medicine. Medicine is damn hard to get in. I think I stand a better chance of getting into science faculty lol but no harm trying when the time comes. After that my family and I went to lot 1 since my sis had music lessons at 3.45. Met jereld in the library but only talked for like 1 min before he went off lol
In the evening, I went to my flute teacher's house for this pseudo performance session to prep our nerves for the upcoming practical exams. I was so nervous but it went surprisingly well xD

Monday:

There was lit tutorial in the morning from 1130-1pm. Rather fruitful though I feel that time could have been used more -quote- economically haha
After that I went home, fell asleep after lunch [again] and had a pathetic study-bio-day.

Tuesday:

There was math tuition in the morning from 8am-10am. My mind was still fuzzy even after I woke up so the whole math tuition went past without me absorbing like 40% of the lesson lol

Then there was flute lesson from 130-230pm. Needa work on my aural!! Or maybe I should just hun guo qu LOL I really can't stand aural. Hope my nerves dont kill me on the exam day.

Studied DNA and reactions of organic chem and I think [I hope] most of it went successfully into my head

Today:

As previously mentioned, I went running in the morning then I had a nice nasi lemak breakfast xD it's been a while since I've had nasi lemak for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent studying organization of eukaryotic genome as well as cells which I'm proud to say I finally finished! Which also means that I've finished reading thru all the bio notes haha

Ohyes, almost forgot.. I cut my hair today! haha this time instead of just a trim I asked the auntie to layer it abit too. But the person went and layered ALOT. So it doesn't look as nice as I imagined it would.

Gonna attempt maclaurin's expansion now.. I know I should be doing complex but ahwells.. that can be done tomorrow.. I'm sick of complex numbers liao

block test 1

2010-03-12T21:52:00.003+08:00

I realise it's been quite long since I last blogged heh. Goes to show how busy I am. And it's going to get even busier from here on in. March holidays are going to be full of studying for BT1 and preparing for -eeks- practical exam which is on next friday. I have grade 5 theory exam at 10am in the morning tomorrow T-T Gone are the days I could spend my time and days however I like. March holidays are now equals to march study week.

So today was the start of Block Test 1. The rest of the blocks are going to be after the march hols. I really dont know why they always put lit paper 1 after gp exam. My brain already half dead by then and lit is the paper with the greater need for better english lol

GP essay was okay.. I did "the minority should always give in to the wishes of the majority. do you agree?". I was quite surprised not many people did this question. Like quite easy what haha no need to have a lot of statistics -- which I was extremely lacking in today since I abandoned GP for Lit last night lols. Compre was sickening.. WTH IS PROFLIGACY LAH. I have a bad feeling about gp compre :/

Lit was wow.. DISASTROUS. CATASTROPHIC. I was panicking for the first ten minutes because I looked at both sets of poems and didn't know which to pick because both sucked and I couldn't understand much. In the end I picked the pair of poems about love. The other pair was about "wind" and this was what went thru my mind when I saw them:

"ehh dickinson's one about wind not so bad leh.. I can actually understand it.. okay okay promising.." -somewhat hopeful about not having to do the love poems-
-looks at the second wind poem-
"walao! wth is ted hughes talking about?? dont understand! omgomg die..."

haha so this time the poem comparison was really quite bad. Horribly bad. The worst I've seen heh because I wasn't sure what I was talking about haha WSS was.. I picked the "examine the use of time in wide sargasso sea" which apparently nobody else picked T-T I dunno how to do narrative la! the other question is obviously out.. Then also quite bad because I was wandering around in circles for the essay lols

ahwells.. hope all goes well for Block Tests.

singapore warming

2010-03-07T17:52:00.002+08:00

wah it's very hot.. I'm considering whether or not to eat an ice cream xD

Yesterday was fun haha I watched alice in wonderland in the afternoon with my sis and then there was the wo(men) play in the evening in nus. The play made me paranoid of being delusional lols I mean can you imagine 50 years down the road suddenly dementia or sth hits you and you don't remember what happened just 5 minutes ago, let alone what's happening right now?

resist temptations

2010-03-02T16:02:00.002+08:00

my birthday resolution:

TO NOT EAT UNLESS TRULY HUNGRY aka NO SNACKING

time to cut down on unhealthy food manzz!

being 18 doesnt feel any different from 17

2010-03-02T15:46:00.005+08:00

boohoo my right thumb hurts after playing badminton for 3 hours yesterday. I've got this huge white plaster over it now haha hope it recovers soon.

People keep asking me what I did on my birthday so I shall blog about it. It's nothing much though. I didn't go "partying" or whatever lols I just went to swensens with my family. I pigged out on fried food and ICE CREAM hahaha and had fun with my family. I love swensen's ice creams xD and that very day there was this article in the newspapers about heart diseases and the food that contributed to it T-T after reading it I was wondering if I would be suddenly be hit by a heart attack in the middle of my cookie summit ice cream LOL

Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday through sms or facebook xD and thanks to caleb, zimin and ziyan for their present too! haha

Needa do lit hbl now.. ohya speaking of hbl, the gp and math ones sucked to the max. "did the test motivate you to find out more about politics?" OF COURSE NOT. stupid question. How would a 100 question test make me even remotely interested in finding out more about politics?
At least gp could be finished within half hour. Math was this long long, tedious, mafan, annoying, murderous-intentions-inducing online SHIT.

Enough said about HBL. Makes me annoyed heh I didn't even have the time to do any revision.

last day of being 17

2010-02-26T20:52:00.002+08:00

This is going to be the last night I'm 17 and it feels quite

frightening.

How ever did time manage to pass so fast?

From tomorrow onwards I'll be 18, able to drink and smoke legally but more importantly, in my last year as a JC student. It seems to me that by the end of this year I'll have to decide what I want to study in university, what I want to be when I grow up and more so, what I want from life. So much to think about and make decisions about. Stressful. Throw in the A levels to complicate things. I'm not prepared to make decisions yet D: what if I make decisions just cos I have to and then end up regretting them?

I hope I'll be able to come to a better conclusion by the end of the year heh

Anyways, thank you 09S77 for wishing me happy birthday and keejia for buying that delicious mango mousse XD And also thanks to all my good friends who have stood beside me this past year :)

fatigued

2010-02-23T21:16:00.004+08:00

If by Taeyeon is really nice xD and I thought that snsd was full of people who can't really sing. Turns out I was wrong.

Today's aural during flute lesson wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. My teacher says they plan to revise the grade 5 aural. Hopefully so that it'll be easier and that less people will fail it haha My teacher said got primary school kids so stressed out by the fact that they can't sight-sing that they'll start crying then the whole aural die liao. Terrible la.. they should just take that segment out of the practical exams.

JCC was somewhat interesting today. Orientation for the J1s was carried out and we played some games with them but they kept saying let the J1s play so I didn't really do anything. Except the last game "BANG!" where everyone played. Quite exciting that one haha

School was alright today. For the first time in my life, I nearly fell asleep with my eyes open during chem lecture. Not that they were fully open.. more like my eyelids were struggling to stay up and I was drowsy throughout. Then suddenly got this rocking sensation like you're going to fall asleep but your conscious mind pulls you out of it.

I've been quite tired recently. Come home, immediately collaspe on the sofa. Then struggle to get up to do work or eat dinner. Horrible la.. like school is wearing me down or sth.

too much tech

2010-02-20T21:47:00.004+08:00

The week's been pretty good. I think I'm getting the hang of soccer. It's not as bad as I initially thought it was. Yesterday ziyan and I stayed back to look for two poems in the school library. Within two hours we found the two poems we needed and they're really really good! So look forward to an exciting ending to the poems presentation xD

Anyways, this goes to show that technology really makes us lazy and stupid :/ we both spent a few weeks looking for poems on the internet in vain, only to find what we really needed in the library in such a short time. Over reliance on technology! this was like my gp essay question on thurs.. which wasn't too bad. I was trying to say that it makes us lazy but not stupid.

I can't do sit ups!! >.< must practise more! I will go running tomorrow morning [if I can wake up haha]

Time to continue watching Dorian Gray. Hope the rest of it is not too horrific, if not I wont have the guts to continue haha

chinese new year!

2010-02-16T17:54:00.003+08:00

yeah I'm finally back on the com xD Here's what happened these past few days:

Saturday:

We didn't go out for 团圆饭 this year but my mom still made her delicious tempura prawns so dinner was awesome :D my sister and I stayed up to help our parents with the ang baos and to 守岁.

Sunday:

My family and I left the house at 9am to go to my maternal grandmother's house first to meet up with all our cousins and relatives. Then as one big family we went to my grandmother's brother's house then after that to my grandfather's brother's house haha I remember someone wished me happy chinese new year and not to double my body mass or sth.. I think that's going to be impossible because I ate two lunches that day: once in the first house and then steamboat in the second house. Went home around 3+ and everyone fell asleep almost instantly haha Then we left the house again around 430pm to go to my ahma's house to play and have dinner.

My uncle taught us how to play poker properly with all the correct names and betting procedures. Guess what? We used monopoly money to bet during poker LOL nobody was willing to part with their money. After 4 hours of playing poker, I'm convinced that younger people have better luck. Half of the time it's all the younger people winning T-T I lost so much money that night haha

That night channel 5 kept publicising percy jackson and no matter how much I said percy jackson sucked, my cousins were still so enthu about watching it! wahh seriously.. the show had so many plotholes that "you have to close your eyes every 2 seconds" [quote ziyan]

I somehow managed to stay up til 1130pm to watch 200 pounds beauty on channel u. It was the first time I watched the whole show and it was good.. xD

Monday:

My grandaunt has 彩旗 (is this what it's called?) at her house every year so we went there around 11am and it was so cool! haha I managed to touch the 舞狮 this year xD I hope this means I'll have (much needed) good luck for this year. Plus this year the angpao I got from my parents had the words 一帆风顺 on it. I hope this year really goes that way.. A levels and all heh

So we had lunch at my grandaunt's again and then we went on to my paternal grandmother's house to bai nian. Normally we will go to my grandmother's house or my da gu's condo to have dinner as one big family (my grandmother had ten children) but this year my da gu couldn't book the function room so there's no gathering on my father's side this year :/ Angpaos scattered everywhere haha Some of my gugus met up on sunday night and left the angpaos at my grandmother's house but I don't know about the rest.

Tuesday

My cousins and relatives on my mom's side came over to have lunch with us xD played blackjack and taitee. This time we used coins to bet lols I think our family is very kaisu. My cousin wanted to borrow my grace's dress for her graces this year; she's in ny too. After lunch my cousins stayed back til 4 to play with us but after awhile everyone was tired and there was this "exams coming up exams coming up" amongst alot of us :/ Isn't it sad that during cny we're still bothered by this kind of things?

Okay, that's all for now.. kinda tired.. maybe I'll take a nap..

popcorn chicken is yummy

2010-02-12T17:23:00.004+08:00

Last night's tuition was not bad. I think I'll be using BT 1 as a gauge of the effectiveness of the tuition. If I can't even pass it this round, then I'll just quit the tuition. Travelling at night is tiring and by the time I get home no need to do homework liao because I'll be comatose on the bed in an instant.

Chinese new year celebrations at school was great xD we sold cheese hot dogs and mash potatoes. Ziyan, caleb, joanne and louisa came up with this cheer: "hot hot! dog dog! CHEEEEESE HOT DOGS!" haha so cute right?

Apollo didn't manage to win fac dance this year D: The juniors all looked so dejected TT-TT

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

新年快乐，万事如意

tiring tuesday

2010-02-09T20:30:00.002+08:00

Recently I've been feeling as though time just flies past me without me noticing at all. Days and weeks just blur into each other and I don't feel the time going pass. It's as if I'm blindly following the days. It's quite a scary feeling. Then I'm also forgetting alot of things like homework, things-to-do, etc. It all disappears from my mind the minute I reach home. Home and school are becoming two different worlds. I just to sleep the moment I get home but there's always so many things to do. And yet if I don't think about it, there seems to be almost nothing to do! Dang it I'm going mad.

Okay, gotta check some stuff on isp and write angel and mortal letter xD seeya

sighs

2010-02-07T15:47:00.003+08:00

I haven't been on the computer for three days in a row and somehow nothing feels amiss haha let me update on what happened these past 3 days.

Friday

CAMPFIRE NIGHT!!! It was so good to be back with my OG again XD we were totally high and jumping around and screaming haha I think we almost forgot we were J2s. This year there were so many human chains it was crazy. I think the J1s were more high than we were last year.. or maybe that's cos I'm not one of them so it looks like that haha

For dinner 6 of us went to golden rooster to dabao and the auntie there must have some secret grudge against us or sth. She made us wait for almost one hour for our food while everyone else before us AND after us already collected their meals. So we played scramble on raymond's iphone until the food finally came.

Ares fac dance is seriously cool. I think apollo's one is... unbelievable.. heh Oh but congrats on winning best performance Apollo! XD

Saturday

Badminton as usual. I was dead tired when I came back and my legs were so tired. I think my right arm has gotten used to it already. It doesn't ache anymore after badminton.

Today

I woke up at 730am and went jogging with my sister at the nearby park. Halfway up the slope my legs almost died on me because of yesterday's badminton T-T Getting up from a chair and squatting down is quite painful now haha

In the afternoon my family and I went to Causeway Point to have lunch and do some shopping. There were so many people there doing last minute cny shopping like me haha I didn't manage to buy much, just one black skirt. Wrong colour somemore heh ahwells I hope I can find some time to go buy a nice shirt to go with it.

I love wednesdays

2010-02-03T19:49:00.005+08:00

Wednesdays are such lovely days haha the whole day is slack, theoretically lessons end at 1230 since after that is only ct session. And today during ct we got to meet our juniors! This year the guy-girl ratio is even more screwed: 6-19 LOL so sad right? haha they all looked rather nice xD hope can make good friends with them and I can't wait for the mortal-angel letter exchanging haha.

I need to start studying for blocks soon.. Just found out during lit tut today that gp block test is on the same day as lit paper 1 AGAIN walao la.. my hands will die lehh

reminder to self: go poem shopping. find non-cannonical poets heh

I wonder what would happen if we used potato pong's spoofs LOL ms heng would murder us

stomach roars HUNGRY

2010-01-30T19:45:00.003+08:00

Today we played badminton at Bukit Panjang CC from 12-2 instead of zhenghua as there were no courts left.
Met sok at 11.45 at pending lrt station and we waited awhile before I decided to call jereld. I found out they were still eating at fajar so sok and I went into the cc first. The office tricked me leh..they said that all courts were booked until 12pm that day but when we went into the hall, there was no one there! The fans, lights and aircon (yes I just found out from my mom there's suppose to be aircon) were all off.

Within 5 min, randy and gang showed up and we had a total of 8 people. Took turns playing but I feel as though I played almost every other match. Then jereld said he felt like he didn't play much at all. I think next time we need a caps of 6 people. If not there's not enough time and courts for everyone to play properly.

My legs are so tired now. I think by tomorrow the fatigue in my legs will have mutated into aches. Going to watch tv now, bye! xD

phages

2010-01-27T19:18:00.002+08:00

Just went to see the doctor and after examining me, he proclaimed "VIRUS INFECTION" damnit.. I want to get better! no wonder it's taking so long.. it's a freaking virus wreaking havoc on my body. If tomorrow wasn't so hiong I'd totally not go to school but I don't want to go for makeup bio lab heh

The doctor was very weird. After learning that I was in J2, he proclaimed yet again, "A LEVELS ARE EASY" then went on and on about how his children got As and blah blah blah. wah if my mom wasn't with me I wouldn't know how to stop his boasting.

The funniest poem i've ever read

2010-01-26T21:50:00.000+08:00

Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face by Jack Prelutsky

Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.
　
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.

Within your ear, your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze,
your brain would rattle from the breeze.

Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!

the tuesday blues

2010-01-25T19:41:00.004+08:00

I'm starting to dread the coming of tuesdays. Tuesdays have the shortest school day of the week with lessons ending at 1pm. But after that I have flute lessons from 1.30-2.30 and then I have to come back to school for jcc at 3.30. It's quite a horrid day. The fact that my bag weighs a ton that day due to all the music books further adds to my lovely anticipation of tuesdays.

School was alright today I guess. Mrs Boo wants to conduct math remedial lessons for those who got S & U, in other words, me. I'm not going to say anything about her lest someone from HC staff department reads this and comes after me with a parang but:

I seriously have no respect for teachers who can't teach. If you can't teach, then get the hell out of school or go to a school that teaches people how to teach -.- Not only are you wasting yours and the students' time, you're ruining their future as well.

Okay I'm done ranting. My blog is such a good place to blow off some steam and complain about people haha I'm going to try to cut down on ranting though.. it's not a good habit heh

2010-01-23T23:12:00.003+08:00

Another masterpiece spoofing by the ever impressive Potato Pong!

PONG!

I want to call you pong, the sound
of the shape of the start
of our match—like this, pong
and to say, after, I love,
pong, I love, pong I love, not
I love you.

Because I so do—
as we say now—I want to say
Ping, I hate, I hate ping,
And to know in my lips
The melody of love resides,
And to hear in thine pong.

Pong’s tone starts, stops, starts;
the right sound ponging and ponging in the heart.

This is the orignial poem by Carol Ann Duffy

Syntax

I want to call you thou, the sound
of the shape of the starto
f a kiss — like this, thou —
and to say, after, I love,
thou, I love, thou I love, not
I love you.

Because I so do —
as we say now — I want to say
thee, I adore, I adore thee,
and to know in my lips
the syntax of love resides,
and to gaze in thine eyes.

Love’s language starts, stops, starts;
the right words flowing or clotting in the heart

dead tired

2010-01-23T17:33:00.001+08:00

The title is self-explanatory.

Things to get done today:

theory homework

lit tutorial
book courts for next sat

that's all I think.. tomorrow I'll probably revise chem..

POEM 305

2010-01-20T19:58:00.003+08:00

This is a potato spoof of poem 503 [Emily Dickinson] by Potato Pong of her beloved potato.

PONG
Better- than Potatoes! For I- who ate it-
I was used - to the starch- before-
This- was different-'Twas Cooking
Of all the ingredients I knew- and more-

'Twasn't contained- like any other tupperware-
No one could concoct it- the second time-
But the Chef- perfectly French-
Perish with him- that tasteless Food!

So- Students- told how Duffy even
Boiled a better- Soup-
Quaintly indulge- Dickinson's great surrender-
Urging the lips- that would -not- lick

Students- satisfied- are fatter-mostly-
Duffy-a legend- dimly told-
Dickinson- and the Anguish- Grandmother's story-
But- I was cooking a food- I smelt

Not such a Smell- the Kitchen- blazes-
When the last Stain- goes up the Apron-
Not such a Knife splits the vegetables-
When the Chef strikes her Pots-

Let me not spill- its smallest gravy-
Heavy-for promise- when alone-
Heavy- until my faint Potato-
Drops onto plate- beside the chicken Bone-

This is the original poem:

Poem 503:
Better — than Music! For I — who heard it —
I was used — to the Birds — before —
This — was different — 'Twas Translation —
Of all tunes I knew — and more —

'Twasn't contained — like other stanza —
No one could play it — the second time —
But the Composer — perfect Mozart —
Perish with him — that Keyless Rhyme!

So — Children — told how Brooks in Eden —
Bubbled a better — Melody —
Quaintly infer — Eve's great surrender —
Urging the feet — that would — not — fly —

Children — matured — are wiser — mostly —
Eden — a legend — dimly told —
Eve — and the Anguish — Grandame's story —
But — I was telling a tune — I heard —

Not such a strain — the Church — baptizes —
When the last Saint — goes up the Aisles —
Not such a stanza splits the silence —
When the Redemption strikes her Bells —

Let me not spill — its smallest cadence —
Humming — for promise — when alone —
Humming — until my faint Rehearsal —
Drop into tune — around the Throne —

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas

Learnt this new poem today during lit tutorial. It's quite sad isn't it?

i want to resign

2010-01-19T21:00:00.004+08:00

Dang it! I just found out I have to do this entire sequence of things to collect the TIMES magazine as GP rep -.- So ma fan.. I swear if A.wong decides to re-elect reps tomorrow, I'm nominating bryan as gp rep! hoho -.- I'm so not good at this rep thing heh

Every tuesday after flute lesson I have to go back to school, wait at the class bench for one hour before going for JCC. At least weiqi was there today but from next week onwards he's only going to be there for the first half an hour of jcc before running off for H3 chem. I'm going to try to convince ong ziyan to join jcc haha

Today for jcc we learnt the japanese language! It was quite okayy.. partially due to the fact that the japanese words look similar to chinese ones. After that we watched ouran high school XD

my throat is wreaking havoc on me

2010-01-18T20:47:00.003+08:00

Sore throat went down after badminton on saturday but now the bacteria/virus thingy seems to have gone down into my lungs T-T my throat is phlegmy now.. how to do aural practise tomorrow?? I can't even sing.. let alone pitch.

Today was quite eventful. We had GP essay which I most probably flunk since I wrote utter crap. I always tend to choose singapore theme essays whenever I have no evidence for the other questions lols After school ziyan and I were supposed to discuss what questions to ask the tutor on thurs when louisa said she couldn't make it and caleb mysteriously disappeared after lunch. Very weird.. maybe it was our fault caleb ran away heh we were quite mean to him. So since there was nothing else to do, we started on homework and weiqi joined us around 4pm. The wind was on some sort of typhoon rampage today. So hard to do homework when you have to keep everything from flying at the same time haha

Around 5pm we left school, me and ziyan for home and weiqi for jap lessons. We took 156 and somehow managed to laugh most of the way to raffles townclub lols

Bored as it is with life now heh I want more badminton!! haha legs still aching from saturday though

ring ring?

2010-01-17T12:04:00.004+08:00

A few minutes ago sok called me to ask whether she could borrow my sec 1 math textbook for her cousin. At first I couldn't even recognise her voice because I wasn't used to hearing her voice through the phone. You know how people's voices sound slightly differently after passing through the underground cables and optic fibres haha

It was then that I realised that in the past 10 years, friends don't call each other very often anymore. In primary school my friends and I would call each other almost everday to talk or how to do homework. In sec 2 rina and I would call each other every now and then to chat. Chatting would take up almost 2 hours, by then which my ears would be feeling kinda numb haha but it felt good to hear her voice and talk so freely. After that, the calls died down and msn ruled the communication world.

There's nothing wrong with using msn to talk to your friends. I like using it too. It's just that hearing your friend's voice instead of just seeing words zoom past on a static computer screen is so much more comforting. There's a sense of connection and warmth listening to your friend on the phone. Msn allows people to hide things from each other doesn't it?

I miss talking to my friends through the phone heh

Hungry!

2010-01-16T15:35:00.003+08:00

Super hungry now. And to think that I only just finished eating around 12. I shall go down to get some snacks later hoho. Ohwait, no, I shouldn't.. should eat the apples in the fridge.

Badminton again today. And jereld said he saw my post about last week's badminton where I complained about he's almost collisions lols oops.. I apologise for that.. sometimes my ranting gets out of hand. Today's session was good. Legs aching now. I like it when my muscles ache because it means that they got stretched and I managed to get a good workout xD Daddy and meimei popped in for a surprise visit today. I was pleasantly surprised by how randy and jereld just took it in their stride and we all played together in the end :)

Lunch was yong tau foo at greenridge plaza. Finished up homework there too.

Good luck to all the physics people for their test! xD

ohnoohno

2010-01-15T17:09:00.002+08:00

damnit!! I've got something of a sore throat and I'm tackling the virus/bacteria with lots of water, strepsils and medicine now in hope that I'll be better by tomorrow morning for badminton.

Today's bio lecture test was terrible, not sure if I'll pass. Lit was okay-ish.. the usual crap.. haha

the first day of school

2010-01-11T21:52:00.003+08:00

I feel slightly overwhelmed by the fact that I've just agreed to going to for math tuition in bishan. All for the sake of getting A for math during A levels. Math tuition is on thursday night from 7-9pm. Hope I don't fall asleep by then. But that also means that I have to rush dinner and homework too. I bet by the end of the month, I will have lost at least 2 kg. Today's recess was very rushed. And the same thing is going to happen on tues and wed too. I'm bringing bread tomorrow liao. I'm not going to starve even if I am going to lose weight - which I don't want to by the way.

Trying in vain to study energetics now. Chem pop quiz on the second day of school already. The teachers are merciless.

201st post

2010-01-10T14:48:00.004+08:00

The timetables are finally out! To my horror, I discovered that on monday, tuesday and wednesday, my class would only have half an hour of break for the whole day T-T Lucky monday and tuesday end at 130 and 1 respectively. But still.. at least give 1 hour lah otherwise it'll be really rush..

Yesterday morning jereld, randy and I went to play badminton at zhenghua cc as usual. What was not usual, was that a certain randy overslept. Jereld called 6 times and I called once before we decided to call his house number and thus found out that at 15min past our meeting time, randy was still in dreamland. So jereld and I played first til randy came around 10am. Then half an hour later, a malay couple playing in the other court invited us to play doubles with them.

We got thrashed.

lol at first randy and I teamed up, then for the second round I played with jereld. We lost in both but not so badly in the second round. The bad thing was that I almost collided with jereld like 10 times, okay wait no I didn't do anything, it's jereld who almost collided with me -.- we got no partnership.. lols I've got muscle ache in my legs now..

By 11am we were dead beat and then we left to have lunch at downstairs coffee shop. We ended up eating and talking til 130pm haha Found out that randy loves scandalising people (beware!!)By then, I had to get back cos I needed to go out later.

Left the house around 430pm to meet rachel at bugis junction and have early dinner before we went out to watch the noh performance.

"Developed during the Muromachi period, this classical performing art has been kept alive through the centuries and refined as it is passed down to successive generations of Noh actors. A highly aesthetic and symbolic form of drama, Noh is performed in a solemn and dignified manner , exuding an atmosphere of quiet elegance and is visually dramatised by the use of elaborate costumes and delicately carved masks on an austere stage.."

After dinner, we left for the national library where the play was to be held in its drama centre. We were about an hour early so we went to the study lounge, found two seats and sat down to study.

When the show started, the japanese they spoke, or rather sang, in was so convoluted that even the teacher accompanying us couldn't understand it. Their voices wavered up and down in a sort of cantonese opera way (as rachel said) except that it was so slow moving I nearly died from impatience.

There were three plays: the first was about a butterfly spirit gaining enlightenment, the second was about a young man pretending to be a demon to steal his aunt's sake and the third was a celebratory dance between two lions. The first one was the excruciatingly slow one. The second and third weren't too bad because they were comical and upbeat. I have to say though, "delicately curved masks" doesn't describe it aptly enough. It was more scary than anything.. the first thought I had when I saw them wearing the masks were "omg omg that is damn scary and freaky.." Not that I have any disrespect for the drama and art, it's just that some of the masks and costumes were rather... shocking (not sure if this is the right word)haha

Reached home around 11pm and watched tv with my family til 1230.

School starts tomorrow! and I'm dreading it already. The upcoming math paper is adding to the dread too. I heard that lecture tests don't count in J2 though, I think we don't have CA marks.

Heh ahwells, here comes the new school year with all its good and bad.

Funeral of Morals

2010-01-09T00:31:00.003+08:00

Angela Aki - モラルの葬式 (Moraru no Soushiki) [Funeral of Morals]

this song is really beautiful :) the second half of the video has her band making a lot of shrieking noises using the electric guitars so skip that part if you can't take it.

School is opening in 2 days time and I haven't finished my bio revision yet, neither have I started on math revision :X Damn pathetic, only managed to finish bacteria notes today.

There's badminton tomorrow morning and then noh performance to attend in the evening. Hopefully I won't be too tired to squeeze in some revision in between.

I'm really sorry I wasn't able to attend class outing 09S77 ><>

wo de tian ah

2010-01-05T23:04:00.002+08:00

omg omg just found that my new ct teacher might be Mr Wong Yew Chong Augustine! freak.. this is very scary.. lit and gp will probably improve but ahhh I don't want all my essays to be bloodied all over T-T

Happy New Year!

2010-01-02T21:30:00.004+08:00

I sense imminent death in this blog's future. I'm probably going to abandon it when school starts heh.
I've been slacking around these past two days. There's about 9 days left til school reopens and I have one lit essay, math revision and bio revision left to do.

I can't believe it's already 2nd Jan 2010. It doesn't feel like one year has already passed and a new one has begun. Feels as though I'm still living in 2009 haha Next thing you know, A levels will be over and everyone will go their separate ways.

New Year's Eve

2009-12-31T19:16:00.001+08:00

The last day of 2009 was spent studying haha what a boring way to spend new year's eve.

On a happier note, there's another reason why today's a special day too:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!

Christmas Week

2009-12-26T22:20:00.005+08:00

This week I went out quite a lot, watched two movies [Bodyguards and Assassins was EXCELLENT; the best chinese movie I've seen in a long while], bought new clothes and started playing badminton again with my friends xD

Just read sok's blog and I quite agree with the last few things she said. Next year, there'll be no time for resting or slacking. We'll have to mug our butts off til A-levels. After the A levels, the guys will go to NS and the girls will go uni. I really don't know what I want in life. No clue at all where to go forth after J2. So far, it's just been, "take the subjects you like in school and study hard to do well in exams". Not any more.. we'll have to choose modules/courses that will help us to get the job we want in life.. which I don't know what it will be. Another sadder matter is that of leaving my friends behind. Who knows whether or not we'll be able to keep in contact or even see each other again :/ So we really need to treasure our friends now heh

ohyes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Movie time!

2009-12-21T16:05:00.003+08:00

Went to Lot 1 on Saturday to watch "Avatar" with my sister, uncle and two cousins. The movie was great. Honestly, it was the only movie in the whole year that I liked entirely. The 3-D effects were cool too xD totally worth the extra 4 bucks that we shelled out.

I want to watch Bodyguards and Assassins next xD Hopefully I can convince my whole family to watch with me this time.

Homework left:
Unseen comparison
Essay for qn 14
Drawing for part 3 of wss

xD

2009-12-16T11:08:00.004+08:00

On Monday Sok, Ziyan, Caitong and I went to Settlers Cafe in SMU to play! My favourite game was Telepath. In this game, you have to pair up and see how many words you and your friend have in common after looking at a certain picture or word.
There was one time I requested that we play something violent/exciting and guess what? the person recommended the ugly dolls game again LOL nobody wanted to fight with sok for the cards though haha
It has been such a long time since I last saw them and had such fun with them haha we should do it again sometime soon.

Yesterday we went to takashimaya as a family to do some christmas shopping. Then we walked all the way from taka to ion cos my dad didn't like the food in taka. We looked around at some handphone shops cos my dad wanted a new phone. In the end, I got a new phone. A NEW NOKIA PHONE lols

Then we walked back to taka and bought.. GODIVA CHOCOLATES XD it was so superly expensive.. $30 for 100g of chocolates (equivalent to 6 small pieces of chocolate) and my parents bought some more chocolates for themselves and as christmas presents as well. Lucky we had this $50 voucher haha

I think I won't be sending out christmas cards this year.. too lazy haha ahwells see first.. if my mom has extra cards left over then maybe I'll send xP

风云2!

2009-12-11T21:06:00.003+08:00

woooo felt as though I haven't blogged in centuries.. haha

Watched The Storm Warriors today with my sister at Lot 1. It was pretty good xD especially the fighting scenes and the acting. The only thing I didn't like was the female characters in the movie. Most of the time, the only thing they said was: - imagine ultra sweet high pitched voice- "云哥哥!" or "风哥哥!" -.-

I'm doing this lit homework now where I have to pick the poem that left the deepest impression on me and state which poetic aspects of the poem I like in about 250 words. What I actually want to write is: "I picked emily dickinson's poem 670 because it was amongst the few poems that I actually understood what she was talking about. Most of the time, that is."

My Boring Life

2009-12-02T18:40:00.003+08:00

Today on my way back from flute lesson, I chanced upon two interesting things:

1. There was an old man sitting on a small portable chair that he'd brought along while waiting for the bus at the bus stop. I was amazed that there were people who were desperate enough for a seat that they'd bring a portable chair along with them wherever they went.

2. I was standing in the bus when this aunty came on board at the second hc bus stop and almost shoved me to the back of the bus because she couldn't squeeze past me -.- Turned out there were two empty seats there so I sat down on the seat that was more inside and the next thing that aunty did was to glare at me. What the hell did I do to deserve that glare huh?? Afterwards I realised it was because I took up a seat that she wanted to put her tiny and feather-light-looking bag on. Sheesh..

Okay, so the second thing was more of annoying rather than interesting haha

Last night I had this crazy mish mash of dreams. One part of the dream consisted of me having like having a gazillion ghastly pimples on my face. When I told my mom, she just said, "Silly girl, go wash your face with water lah!" and miraculously all the pimples disappeared after I did so. There were alot of other unrelated segments too, like where zimin suddenly appeared and wanted to bring me to my OG. Zimin was wearing what she wore to the apollo fac outing too o.o

This is what I do almost everyday:

wake up, breakfast, practise flute/slack around, homework, lunch, homework, computer, dinner, watch tv/computer, sleep, mad dreams.

and it is boring me to death. Which is why I am so looking forward to badminton on saturdays and gatherings with friends to break the monotony of my sad life haha

Badminton!

2009-11-28T17:02:00.003+08:00

Went to Zhenghua CC this morning to play badminton from 11am-1pm with randy, jereld, xinyu, matthew (?) and philemon [alamak I really don't know how to spell his name haha] It was tiring but still pretty good xD Afterwards all of us, except xinyu and philemon, went for lunch at the kopitiam on the first floor of the cc. Every single grain of rice in my chicken rice was practically coated (drowning) in oil -.- I am never patronising that stall again.

Around 2pm we went to randy's house to play mahjong and randy somehow, SOMEHOW won like 8 games?? Jereld won once, and so did I but randy won the rest.
Randy you better watch out.. you die next time we play mahjong..

Haha I'm suddenly reminded of how xinyu was warning jereld, "你过路的时候最好小心看车啊" lols jereld hit damn hard and the shuttlecock hit xinyu on the shoulder/face painfully.

There's going to be another badminton session next saturday from 9-11 but I don't know if I'm going because I'm probably meeting up with sok and the others for a long-awaited gathering XD

Almost there!

I'm almost done with I&I! XD except for articles 6 and 9 which I have no idea how to answer, I should be finishing with the book review soon.

I was just thinking about this article that mentions that Singapore Government being too paranoid about information release and such. If the governmnet was truly paranoid, I have a feeling we wouldn't even be reading article in school about the government being so strict haha

My new favourite song :D The original video is on youtube but they disabled the embedding code so just listen to this one.

last day of buddy tutoring

2009-11-21T13:24:00.003+08:00

Yep, just like the title says, today was the last tutoring session we had with the Primary 5 kids. Though only 7 kids came down and nobody knew that they had to bring their math paper, it was good to see them one last time xD. As for the tutors, only me, randy, jereld, xinyu and eunice came. According to randy, the others were too busy to come :/ The session was abit sian and we all sorta left randy in the clutches of the screaming, yelling, damn pai-si primary 5 kids lol

Hm.. but even though they were all so naughty and bad, when we asked them if they wanted to come back next year for more tutoring, almost all of them raised their hands. There's hope for them yet :) And I wouldn't mind coming back next year to teach them too, even though with A levels coming up.

Alrighty, I shall get back to doing I&I T_T I have no idea why almost all the issues in there are related to politics hai..

i want to vote for no I &I!

2009-11-20T14:15:00.002+08:00

Okay I'm here to rant again heh I'll make it short though.

Why on earth are there so many AQs on democracy and politics?? How much do these people actually expect a 17 year old girl to know about whether not Singapore is a truly democractic nation?? I'm utterly, totally clueless about politics..
Sheesh.. I feel like I'm writing crap for the politics aq qns and repeatedly too.

sian diao

2009-11-19T12:44:00.002+08:00

I'm feeling quite sian nowadays. There's almost nothing to do (except homwork of course) and I'm starting to get tired of playing facebook games. Maybe I'll revert back to plants v.s. zombies haha

The other day I was making my homework list and I realised that there was so much of it that I would never be able to finish it by the end of november T_T ahwells at least it'll be something to occupy my mind with.

I can't wait for rachel to come back XD then we can go out!! haha There's plans in the making about an outing with my old gang from 405 around 5th nov.

I think there's buddy tutoring this saturday too.. the last one of the year heh It'll be quite saddening to see them for the last time.

happy day

2009-11-13T17:34:00.009+08:00

PROJECT WORK IS OFFICIALLY OVER AND DONE WITH

I'm am going to delete the entire file "PW" from my computer hohoho I think OP went quite okay yesterday, aside from the fact that I gave an incoherent answer for the question the examiner asked heh. Hopefully the other parts will pull it up. It's OVER; out of sight, out of mind haha

Yesterday

After OP, we went to joanne's house to bake a cake for ms wang. Or rather, a trial for the actual baking that will take place some time later. We decided to bake peanut butter and chocolate cheese cake! Lucky it was a trial lol when the cake came out, it looked like fried tofu and by the time I brought it home, it was more of PEANUT BUTTER and chocolate cheese cake LOL the peanut butter taste was too overwhelming.

Our taukwa cake

When we were shopping for the ingredients at NTUC at thomson plaza, we ran away from joanne and caleb after they walked a certain distance away and left them alone LOL After that, we were ducking and hiding amongst shelves and generally making a fool of ourselves haha There was one part where after getting some campbell soup samples, ziyan laughed so hard that she breathed out really hard and soup flew (more like exploded) out of the small plastic cup and all over her head and splattered everywhere. I was walking directly behind her and what I saw was soup fireworks suddenly raining down on her LOL it was so freaking funny.. At the cashier's we were saying, "ohyes, I love NYJC" "NYJC rocks!!" lols trying to prevent further ruin of Hwachong's repuation hahaha

Joanne's brothers are quite cute haha especially the younger one, Jayson (?). But he had this really mischievous and naughty look in his eyes. When we first saw him, he had this "hehehe what I shall I do today" look on his face lols
Joanne's brother has the makings of a future rock star!! LOLS he was totally wriggling his hips and shaking his butt at us when we sat down to rest. It was so hilarious to see a K2 kid dance around like some crazed korean pop star. He even licked his toy golf thingy! omg.. I was half-horrified and half-amazed lols I can tell ziyan is going to be his first fan.. she was totally bobbing her head to his dancing and laughing damn hard at his dance moves hahaha

Joanne, Louisa, Sarah and Jayson

Yay! Holidays officially start XD but so does the need to finish the holiday homework D: No going overseas this year heh I think alot of people are going overseas for holiday this year.. so lucky!

boohoo

2009-11-08T16:48:00.004+08:00

The urge to blog has left me recently. I'm getting rather tired of blogging now heh.

Lots of holiday homework. I think I shall make a list of it here.

GP: Issues and Ideas

Math: Revision Booklet

Bio: Biology worksheet

Lit: Read carol ann duffy
write 250 word appreciation on one of her poems
Read emily dickinson
write 250 word appreciation on one of her poems
WSS essay
Poem comparison essay T_T

I think that's it. Oh wait, some subjects have tests when school reopens T_T this is horrible. Holidays are a total farce.. it's a cover up for "time to do more lovely homework!"

Good thing OP will be over in about 4 days. Except that we'll have to present at least 3 times before the actual thing. Just thinking about those extra 3 times I have to stand in front of the class and present makes me want to run away from school lol

bullet train

2009-11-04T12:38:00.002+08:00

Bullet train. I spoke as fast as a bullet train during OP rehearsals. GRAH how embarrassing.. I vow to speak slowly from now onwards during presentations. Even a snail will marvel at the speed (or lack of it) I speak at.

Last night I dreamt of s77 again lols I keep seeing my class in my dreams recently. In my dream, shi ing was part was this leadership group in the school but everyone kept ignoring her because she wasn't in the exco. Then I met ziyan at the class bench and she started complaining and moaning about how cold she was. I gave her my jacket and she threw it onto her lap and started messing the jacket around on her legs o.o. The funniest part was when two of my ex-cca mates came to our class bench and greeted everyone in this uber bright chirpy voice "GOOD MORNING" -add in big grin- The entire wing stared at them but they just laughed manically and went on their way, greeting every single class bench in the wing lols

OP in 8 days! Can't wait to get it over with heh

C for creepy

2009-11-01T12:53:00.003+08:00

Totally slacked my last two days away heh Went to watch Coraline with my sister at Cineleisure yesterday XD It was much, much creepier than what I expected of a cartoon. It was so scary that my sister had trouble sleeping last night haha

Gotta finish up on pw script and stuff.. meeting for pw again tomorrow.. siann..

I wanna play badminton! XD who wants to play? haha

pw has been blacklisted

2009-10-29T20:55:00.005+08:00

We were supposed to watch sense and sensibilities from 1-3pm tomorrow but ms wang swooped in and grabbed that extra 1 hour from us :( -cries- I can't stand pw.. grrr.. Hope we won't have to present tomorrow.. I'm quite unprepared.

Recently a lot of people have been sacrificing sleep over pw. A few days ago I met sok on the bridge in the morning and when we walked into school, she tripped twice within 2 minutes lols She didn't sleep the entire night before!

Anyways, I just saw the neighbour's new baby XD XD so incredibly cute haha and the baby smelt of nice warm milk too. Writing this reminds of the conversation ziyan and I had about having babies or liking babies I can't remember which. She was saying she didn't like babies because if she dropped the baby, it would get brain damage lols but babies are so cute and innocent. I feel like cuddling or pinching its cheeks whenever I see one haha
AND NO, I'M NOT A PAEDOPHILE LOLS

okays.. I shall go back to pw now D:

pw sucks

2009-10-26T22:25:00.002+08:00

People keep telling me to take H3 Bio but I really dont know what to pick :/ I'm not very interested in the topics they're offering this year. Yet it would be a waste if I could use the H3 Bio to help me secure a scholarship.

heh.. indecisive

PASSION! BURN IT ALL

2009-10-22T22:05:00.003+08:00

hoho my group's pw proposal is on the pursuit of passion and this is what we would have done if we decided to be creative LOL weiqi filled in all the dramatic parts for me HAHA

*mosaic says:
lol
my group was thinking
of doing something related to fire
u know
passion!
then we suggested burning our wr infront of their eyes
FIRE!

*[hcband <3 wq] the notes are the music we are the soul says:
LOL

*mosaic says: HAHA

*[hcband <3 wq] the notes are the music we are the soul says:
"We all need passion in our lives...."

*mosaic says: yup
here it goes up in flames

*[hcband <3 wq] the notes are the music we are the soul says:

"and all we need...is to find .....the right spark."
charis suddenly looks crazed
and whips out a lighter

*mosaic says:
HAHAHAHA

*[hcband <3 wq] the notes are the music we are the soul says:

"HERE I COME MY PASSION~"

*mosaic says:

*[ [hcband <3 wq] the notes are the music we are the soul says:
LOL

false hope is lethal

2009-10-22T18:39:00.003+08:00

Good news or bad news first?

Good news first then (lol):
I got a nice B for chemistry and 28/50 for GP essay! woots! haha considering how badly my essay was written, I'd say the teacher is really nice XD

Bad news:
I failed math. Utterly, Undoubtedly, Unhappily, PHAILED Math. Hai.. Totally expected it coming, I just didn't know how bad it'd be :/

I'm just not cut out for math you know.. When I reached JC, I could feel the limits of my already pathetic math capacity being stretched to almost breaking point. When I get a career, I want one that needs minimum math. Something that only needs me to know that 1+1=2 LOL

Strangely enough, I didn't feel anything when I saw my marks. Not even the usual suppression of sadness. I think I'm numb to failure. :/ How sad is that?

So that was what happened yesterday; got back my papers and even more confirmation that I hate math and math hates me.

Today was much better XD Ziyan and I were damn high during PW and Math tutorial. Before PW started we burst into laughter over something and Weiqi saw us laughing maniacally LOL [I'm sorry you had to witness that embarrassing moment weiqi HAHA]

During math Ziyan stuck green stickers from Yixian's Ben 10 sticker collection onto her eyelids and pretended she was wearing eyeshadow haha so silly.. And then when I told her that the stickers came from two areas under this monster's armpits on the sticker collection, LOL utter hysterics..

I can't wait to go out again with my friends XD but right now PW is being a pain in the a** so gotta wait til OP is over.

sniffs

2009-10-20T18:37:00.004+08:00

Yeah, I know math paper is being given out on wed, not tues lol

We got back the mark scheme for bio paper today and I think my B just flew out of the window. POOF! Out of my reach; gone.

Sudden bout of flu hit me during lit lesson and I felt so sick that I called my dad to pick me up after school. Tried to take a nap and failed haha so I'm wide awake and on the computer surfing the net.

Terrible post today heh sorry.. Nothing nice to blog about today :x

-edit- oh ya I forgot to mention that recently my classmates from s77 have been appearing very frequently in my dreams lol and for some strange reason, all the guys are faceless or they are some ficticious character my mind made up lols ziyan and rina seem to pop up in my dreams quite often too haha there was this one dream where rina chopped off all her hair and she had this short bob and she told me she did this cos the weather was hot LOL dont think she'd ever do that in real life -edit-

Math Makes Me MAD

2009-10-17T18:17:00.001+08:00

OMG OMG MATH PAPER IS THE FIRST PAPER THEY'RE GIVING BACK ON TUES ><
-PANICS-

I really dont want to get it back :/ I already know I did badly

I love my new anklet

2009-10-16T19:09:00.005+08:00

Brief update on the past week :)

Tuesday: Archery sabbatical! It was really fun haha the chief instructor was this slight weird person who was able to tell jokes with an utterly straight face. It's really not that hard to pull the string taut and shoot the arrow. The difficulty lies in aiming it lols We had individual and group knockouts and guess what? for the individual competitions, there were 3 girls and only 1 guy amongst the four finalists. Of course a girl won lols

Wednesday: Clay Target Shooting sabbatical! This one was tiring. The gun wasn't much heavier than the air rifle but I cannot lean the weight of the gun on my hips or body so it was quite hard. My previous training in air rifle was more of an impediment than an advantage heh I only managed to hit the orange flying clay target 1 out of 4 times. The sound of it hitting the ground reminded me of plates crashing to the floor. Afterwards on the bus home, my shoulders were starting to ache and I felt really tired. Jomain and I agreed that if we had had this sabbatical before archery, we would have died during archery haha

Thursday: Dialogue session and sex-education lecture. Dialogue session covered areas like school uniform, gate opening timeslots, pe shirt material and other things. I think the entire thing was a farce/facade cooked up by the school to fool students into thinking that the school adminstration considers their point of view. There were at least two times where they had to pause to think of how to reply the person asking -.- I shall not elaborate lest I get sued or expelled from the school. Sex ed was useless yet again. Some video on people who got HIV.

Friday (a.k.a. TODAY): First part of the day was PW lesson which was quite fruitful. We managed to sort out most of the kinks in our WR and split the work nicely. I shall work on it tomorrow. After our 1h30min break we had PE where we just sat in the hall and listened to this lady from the National Youth Council. I'm not even sure I know what she was talking about haha
So PE ended early at 1130 and I ended up talking to randy and kaeyuan while waiting for rachel's pw lesson to end at 1230. The two of them are so full of crap lah seriously.
Rachel and I went to Island Creamery for some sugary pleasures and then on to Cineleisure to catch 500 Days of Summer. It was really good. The background music was so cute and it was able to capture the protagonist's emotions quite aptly. I think the ending's fine though many people said they didn't like it heh maybe it's because I already knew it wouldn't be a perfect happy ending. Aah it was so good to finally go out with rachel haha long overdue XD

This is our list of post-OP things to do (so far lol):

1. play badminton
2. go settlers' cafe with sok, caitong, jiamin
3. eat sushi (?)

Not so brief after all haha This weekend I have bio tut, bio prac, theory homework and PW to complete. Holidays are a lie in JC, it's just a cover up for more time to do schoolwork :/

settler's cafe

2009-10-12T21:12:00.003+08:00

After flute lesson today I went over to Settler's Cafe in SMU to join my classmates for class outing. It was super fun XD We played, Taboo, Ugly Ugly (Monster?), this animal game, a game involving fake guns and saboteur. Ugly Ugly was the most violent with people screaming and grabbing for cards with utterly UGLY monsters on them LOL
Taboo was exciting too, with ahem* sparks ahem* flying through the air between monsieur oiseau and mademoiselle oiseau hehehe I think we might have disturbed all the SMU students studying there.

We should do this again someday haha maybe after OP or we could organise an overnight chalet and everyone can play together :D

exam over!

2009-10-09T16:43:00.002+08:00

YEAHH FREEDOMMMM LOL It feels good to be able to go on the computer and play and read manga and do all sorts of things without feeling guilty or having to constantly look at the clock.

For once I came home after the last paper of promos without going out with my friends to catch a movie and all haha felt weird but I was tired too so it didn't really matter. Exams are the ultimate source of sleep deprivation. 1. sleeping time becomes studying time 2. my brain becomes so full of notes that I can't fall asleep after studying.

I am going to play and play and PLAY XD

exam blues

2009-10-04T17:48:00.004+08:00

Tomorrow's the first day of exams. I'm not particularly nervous about it. If I do get nervous, it'll be on the morning of the paper itself haha Hopefully GP won't be too bad. The other day I was telling Valerie that all those GP essay questions they give us are like the horrible ones everyone would avoid when we do LA essay in Nanyang. Except now, all the questions they give are horrible ._. so we have no choice.

I'm more worried about Lit. I have no idea how to comment on Proof using dramatic devices. I've been reading A.Wong's analysis of the book but I honestly think I won't be able to come up with such cheemness within one hour heh.

sister: "wah jiejie you memorise so much"
me: "yeah my brain might explode one day"
sister: "JC students' brain like thumbdrive like that leh.. amazing"

LOL yeah I need a thumbdrive.. a trillionbyte one if you please.

Just now I overheard the radio DJ commenting on how there's this new fad going on in Taiwan. People are going to this restaurant called "Modern Toilet". Everything there is like a normal restaurant, the food, the pricing are all standard. Except that they serve it in a very er, toilet style lols people like to go there to have a good laugh and apparently it makes eating the food better haha then the radio DJ was saying how she would go there only to have a good laugh and that this restaurant probably gives the phrase "a crappy experience" a new meaning LOLS

complaints

2009-09-30T19:36:00.005+08:00

Omgosh the entire flat was shaking just now. So scary to feel tremors in Singapore. My father is the best lah he thought it was cos he was drunk so the room was swaying around him LOL Afterwards I heard that Indonesia had a earthquake of 7.1 Richter and lots of people in other parts of Singapore felt the tremors too.

The rest of this post is mostly rants heh if you're not interested, don't read.

Today when I got home, I saw the front page of the straits times with this article about how SHENG SIONG was buying over 5 wet markets in Singapore. And one of them is in Bukit Panjang!!! WTS Can they please stop doing this kind of thing? Destroying the indigenous unique singaporean culture of wet markets. Somemore, people already stated in the article that they DONT NEED A STUPID NEW "AIR CONDITIONED" WET MARKET. Even the stallholders don't know where to go now. SHENG SIONG SUCKS. I am so damn digusted by shengsiong. I am never EVER shopping at sheng siong EVER again.

Seriously.. why do things like this keep happening? Like, the town council replaced the nice, tall and shady sea apple trees at my house downstairs with tiny, spastic, stunted christmas-tree-look-alikes. The ugliest plants I've ever since in my whole life. Not because they look gross but that they look so out of place in a HDB carpark. Although I guess they're doing this so that the crows and mynaes will no longer be able to roost there, there's no need to UPROOT all the trees right? All I can say is: DISGUSTING. One day I will write a letter to all these people and complain my head off. I feel like such a typical complaining singaporean now haha

Sabbaticals..

2009-09-28T22:12:00.001+08:00

I think I'm the only one in my class going for archery on day 1 and clay target shooting on day 2. T_T WHYY WHYY Sec 4 sabbats also kenna taking sabbats all by myself in a room of strangers..
IF ANYONE IS TAKING SAME SABBATS ON THE SAME DAY AS ME, PLEASE COME AND RELIEVE ME OF MY DEPRESSION LOL

RANDOM

2009-09-28T15:13:00.002+08:00

Yixian is sitting beside me now LOL and she is such a primary school kid -not I say one- and zimin is sitting beside yixian and ten times smarter than yixian LOL I am merely recording their interesting conversation haha

It's after PW and school now XD This week only got 3 days haha thursday and friday are study days for us.. I dont know what to blog LOLS
Shall sign off now.. seeya

Hiatus

2009-09-21T23:09:00.003+08:00

From now on, I will not stay more than 10 minutes on the computer. I will switch on the computer only to check my email, smb or work-related stuff.

Abandons: restaurant city, blog, manga reading and msn chatting :X

中秋节

2009-09-20T13:01:00.005+08:00

MAF (mid autumn festival) was great XD Ziyan and I ended up sitting right in front of the VIP seats on the floor. We were barely one metre away from the red carpet where all the performances were carried out. The only scary part was during the wushu performance when they swung gleaming blades and huge flags at us LOL I felt as though I would get decapitated any moment. First time sitting so close to the action haha superb experience.. I highly recommend it to anyone who isn't afraid of the risk of getting beheaded HAHA

Went home early around 830 and I think no one saw or heard my "BYEEE" yell when I went off cos shi ing called me around 9 to ask where ziyan and I were haha I gathered from there ziyan went home too.

Watched my beloved "Boys over Flowers" after that XD such hot guys with incredibly messed up and sad lives. LOL

Okay, I need to do work now :/ yet again.. I will never be rid of work..

flippa ball

2009-09-18T17:45:00.003+08:00

Yes, I actually went for flippa ball today. Just being able to be in the water made up for all the embarrassment of not being able to swim and looking like an idiot in the water lol. It was quite fun though there were only three girls swimming, myself included, and we were surrounded by a battalion of boys [quotes joanne] haha

okay I shall put all embarrassing scenes behind me.. and get ready to study!

MAF tomorrow XD I'm looking forward to it. I hope there's an OG gathering during MAF haha it's been so long since I've have fun with my OG. Keep pangseh-ing them for the last few og gatherings :/

Only two weeks left to promos and so much left to do:

Bio: from control of eukar genome onwards
Chem: Still at chem bonding
Math: Left sequences
Lit: EVERYTHING LEFT - there's never ending things to do for lit D:

a little piece of wisdom

2009-09-14T19:29:00.000+08:00

From Sok's blog:

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. Those who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, and are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, or live. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves, they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free.

Yawns

2009-09-14T19:14:00.003+08:00

Today was a sleepy day. Came to school with my eyes barely open and then I was so tired during bio lesson, caleb suddenly went: "aiya! don't wanna talk to you already lah!" lols because I was sounded very uninterested in what he was saying. Which was partially true but I was tired mah.. no energy to rebutt or suan him LOL

After school, ziyan and I attempted to do vectors. By 4pm, the both of us were slumped down on the table, half asleep already. Okay, no, ziyan was totally asleep while I was half asleep lol. I don't know how that girl can sleep anywhere anytime so easily.

Yeahh that's all for today. I realise my posts are getting more boring and tend to be rather full of complaints lol. Never mind, I shall work to improve on the quality of my posts after promos.

this is madness

2009-09-10T20:00:00.006+08:00

Today Ziyan and I meant to spend half the day finishing up on WSS and then the other half doing some other subjects. In the end we used the entire morning to finish typing our Lit notes and then spent 3 hours after lunch analysing pages 11-15. FOUR MISERABLE PAGES. At this rate we will never be able to finish doing close reading for every book. There's three books by the way D:

Ziyan: Jean Rhys writes so cheemly. She should go take a break. Go to the beach, take a sun tan after spending 30 years writing a book.
Me: She's dead, you know
Ziyan: Oh.

LOL we concluded that Jean Rhys is a mad person who writes about people going mad and then the lit students who attempt to analyse her book go mad too haha

Gave up on Lit around 3pm and decided to do bio. Ziyan fell asleep on the table after awhile and so did I. Initially I told myself: I just need to rest for a while, then I realised I was falling asleep too lols Too tired liao lah Lit totally zaps your brain power and bio was lulling my brain to sleep heh.

We were cursing kaeyuan this afternoon for making us buy lunch for him. Then he commented that I shouldn't blog about it.

Ziyan: why would she want to blog about it?
Me: Yaaa.. too insignificant and irrelevant [I'm sure I used more adjectives but I can't remember haha]
Ziyan: Unless you do some amazing feats you know, like making the toilet bowl overflow and making her fall for you twice [she's referring to herself btw lols - remember how she made me fall down twice and how the water gushed out of the kap toilet bowl?]

LOL yeahhh ziyan.. amazing feats indeed lols

siann

2009-09-09T22:17:00.003+08:00

As expected, I didn't manage to accomplish anything today except chem bonding 2 T_T After flute lesson I was glued to my book until dinner time haha and the computer too..

Dunno how to do I and R lehh I can't seem to remember our thought processes and all in the beginning of the project. I might just end up crapping again just like EoM lol

This is such a random post heh

Blossoming tembusu trees

2009-09-08T09:47:00.002+08:00

Yesterday I went to school as usual with ziyan to study and guess what? the security guards barred me from entering because I was wearing slippers. WTS lah. Just because I wear slipper doesn't mean that my capacity to study is reduced or sth.

After that, we went to KAP to study. It was damn noisy in there and we almost considered going to my house to study heh It wasn't a very conducive place to study bio or to keep a healthy diet either haha

Finally managed to catch up to my schedule XD quite happy with yesterday's progress. Waiting for ziyan to come now :X Suppose to meet to do Lit today but she overslept haha

Have you seen the tembusu trees lately? So pretty in pink :D

satisfaction

2009-09-06T19:17:00.004+08:00

Finally had time today to go to the library to borrow some books :) I have been so deprived of books for the past few months.. although I have three books for lit, I really wanted to read something that didn't involve the person being insane/sexually exploited/hallucinating haha I'm quite satisfied with my find today but I couldn't find any little black dress collection books. So sad.. ahwells I will find them another time XD

This has been building up for some time heh

Warning: The following contains some extremely unrestrained rants and bawling

I DON'T WANNA STUDY ANYMORE
I WANT TO SLACK, SLEEP, BE A PIG
JC LIFE IS KILLING ME!!
EVERYDAY STUDY STUDY STUDY THEN GROW UP STILL WORK WORK WORK
ARGHHHH

Okay, I'm done -feels very much better- XD
Please don't be shocked or think your friend here is going into a seizure or going mad lols I just felt like letting it out on the blog heh

sleepy

2009-09-04T20:07:00.002+08:00

Knee was tingling today after running up and down the court while playing basketball D: afterwards when I poked it, it was quite painful too.

Today was tiring, yet again heh CT session was good though. There was this Brazilian dance group that performed the Capoeira for us. It was really exciting and interesting XD

Litertature!

Mad Girl's Love Song

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

-Sylvia Plath

Is this poet mad or what?? lols we analysed her poem for Lit test and all I can say is that I dont really understand it.. probably cos it was written by a mad person lols. Apparently she stuck her head inside her oven and gased herself to death after baking cookies for her sons. Her huband's a crazy poet too and he's the one who drove her mad. One of their sons went mad and committed suicide too D: Looks like insanity is a inheritable trait.

Metaphors

I'm a riddle in nine syllables.
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

-Sylvia Plath

Here's another one. This time it's a riddle. The poem is a metaphor for something. Guess what it is XD My Lit classmates will know but everyone else can guess haha

I was a Lit major in primary school - quote caleb -

PAUL TAN HAS GROWN A MOUSTACHE AND NOW HE TWIRLS HIS MOUSTACHE INSTEAD OF HIS HAIR LOL LOL

Yesterday's study session was quite productive XD although integration took up so much time I didn't have any left for chem. Met my parents at bukit panjang plaza (bpp) for dinner then after I got my NEW BACKPACK XD XD hahaha so happy that I finally managed to get a nice bag. After walking around abit more, suddenly all the main lights in the central atrium, the first floor shops and random shops on the second floor and basement level all went out. It was really quite dark and scary. The air conditioning system shut down too and all the escalators refused to move. What was weird was that other than the first floor, only random shops on the other floors were affected by the black out. I wonder how the switches on the power grid are connected..

Terribly siannn.. I was reading bio just now but I kept falling asleep haha I shall (try to) do integration now heh

PE was ACES and I ended up dancing with yixian because two people -ahem ahem- wanted to dance together XD So sorry for dragging you into dancing yixian! I owe you one heh It wasn't too bad but my knee ended up hurting after it.

Lit lecture was so-so.. quite boring this time round. Math was another round of sit there and tahan for one hour before Lit.

Today Caleb was complaining about how he just bumps around during our lit tutorial from 2-3pm cos he has nothing to do and no one to talk to, so we invited him to crash our lit lesson XD He came in looking so out of place and then everyone pushed him towards joanne to sit haha Ms Ho was so nice about it haha She asked caleb what style is and although he couldn't answer the first time she gave him another chance:

Ms Ho: So caleb, what is style? I'm giving you another chance to redeem yourself
Caleb: Ah? what's the question?
-class bursts out laughing-

Afterwards he told us that he before lesson started he asked Ms Ho if he could join then she said, : "why didn't you join us earlier?" and at the end of the lesson he went to thank her and told her the lesson was an enriching experience and Ms Ho went, "of course! -grins away-" LOL Ms Ho is so cute.

A woman from MINDS came to talk to us about how our contributions during Apollo fac cip helped them. She told us the story of a family with so many problems that I simply cannot imagine what one day must be like for them. The two adult children was intellectually disabled, the father has diabetes, hypertension and just got retrenched and the mother has chronic back problems :x And HDB keeps trying to take back their house. Makes me feel as though we should have worked harder that day so that we could have helped more.

The study session ended early today cos we were all collasping on the table with no will to continue mugging. Reached home around 4 and I just knocked off on the couch for like 1 hour then I forced myself to get up and bathe. There's math vectors test again tomorrow :( I don't want.. we never seem to be rid of vectors. I was so convinced Mrs Boo was going to call me to join the remedial class cos I failed math test. AGAIN. I swear math is the only subject where mugging away doesn't help. I keep failing!! Grahh We had better have a new math teacher next year or else I will go for external math tuition.

My sis just showed me a picture of a skull she drew. So creepy... 7th month lehh haha

I shall do a study schedule now. Ziyan is supposed to do it with me so we can study subjects together but I think she has either knocked off too or she's gaming haha

Suddenly feel the need and want to talk with all of my old friends again. I miss them.

-edit- Just remembered something interesting and amusing about the cute couple. Today their band mates gave them this pair of badges to put onto their bags. One said, "gay is the new black", the other "I love black" haha -edit-

slack day

2009-08-25T17:10:00.005+08:00

Yesterday Ziyan and I stayed back in the computer lab to study math. A lot of other people stayed back too and we all took turns to ask Mrs Boo questions. When I finally got my chance to ask her my question, there was a knock on the door and I went to open it. The guy who was knocking on the door immediately made a beeline for Mrs Boo and asked how to do a question. I was totally "WALAO I open the door for you and you 抢我的位子" Then never mind, cos I thought it was possible that since I went to open the door for him, he might not have realised I was asking a question too. How ironic. Then after Mrs Boo finsished with him, she started explaining my question again and halfway through, he interrupted again!

I suddenly thought of GP: is ranting on blogs unethical? yes? probably. Do I care? NO.

Then Mrs Boo's other class came streaming into the computer lab awhile later. Initially it was very noisy and all but after awhile it just died down so I guess it was okay.

Ziyan and I went to KAP around 545 to have dinner and do the rest of our mugging there. Around 7+, we decided to go to the toilet and it was then that we found out that KAP toilets really got problem. After I came out of the toilet cubicle, I was telling ziyan something then suddenly she yelled, "omg omg help there's water coming out!" [along those lines] and rushed out of the cubicle and there was water came flowing out under her toilet cubicle door. What happened was that when Ziyan tried to flush the toilet, the water totally overflowed from the toilet bowl and out of the toilet. It was so freaking hilarious, especially with ziyan's trademark expressions haha And the toilet bowl was so overflowing that it looked like a water fountain.

Afterwards when weiqi and val joined us we were telling val about the toilet hahaha oh btw, that cubicle is the one on the rightmost yupp you have been warned.

I think I probably failed math test. Secured about 6 marks. 6/25. Sighs.. Oh and I failed my Lit test too. 12/25. But I deserved it heh cos I didn't read the poem very carefully and wrote utter rubbish for the essay.

Today there were a lot of amusing happenings between the cute couple and the bickering couple lols

just felt like blogging

2009-08-22T12:48:00.005+08:00

Went to watch "UP" with my sister yesterday at Lot 1. The dog is so cute XD haha he's my favourite character.

This morning I went for buddy tutoring as usual and wahh the chinese boys are seriously damn pai si and pai kia. They will point things at you and pretend to stab you. Then they will insult the girls, especially the malay girls. Goodness.. as in it's playful insult lah it's not like racial discrimination or anything but they are still very naughty. I found out that today is the start of Ramadan already. So fast.. that means in one month's time it will be Hari Raya Puasa.

So sleepy.. I can't wait for my flute lessons to be transferred back to wednesdays. My saturdays are all taken up by buddy tutoring and flute lessons then half the day is gone and I'll end up spending the rest of the day sleeping.

Recently I've lost the will and ability to concentrate during math lectures. For the first half of the year, I would still listen to what the lecturer was saying even though I hate math and then I'd understand the concepts. But now, the words just glance off my head and I have to depend on jelly beans to survive.
Grahhh I so need to pay attention. I listened to about ten minutes of today's lecture and I actually understood what he say lecturing until I fell into stoning mode again.

Ever since JC the motivation to do homework has left me too :( Especially for math -yet again- I still do all my tutorials as soon as I get them but not immediately and the moment I get on the computer, I will slack until I feel too guilty to continue playing then I'll do work. OKAY, whatever, that is all behind me now. I will be more hardworking from now on.

Note to self (1): Make an effort to listen and pay attention to every lecture and lesson
Note to self(2): BE SELF MOTIVATED AGAIN

I was talking to sok on msn when suddenly my mom attacked my knee with iodine:

marshmellow says:
my mom applying iodine for me and im wriggling my toes to relieve the pain lol
sok says:
HAHA damn stupid but
aiyo
marshmellow says:
ohmy
sok says:
dont thinkabout it
haha
YES wts la
marshmellow says:
lols
-yells out in pain-
wts my mom just pressed the iodine to my skinless part
mother: "i enjoy doing this; I like to see my daughter in pain"
wts lah
my mom being so sadistic
hahahaha
sok says:
HAHAHAHAAH

Today I fell down A SECOND TIME. WTS LAH Just how suay can I get?! Plus, it was while I was walking next to ZIYAN AGAIN LOL My friend says ziyan is cursed and I shouldn't walk next to her HAHA. Ahwells, not her fault lah.. is I didn't look at where I was going. So my orh ceh got worse, and I ended up scraping my knee this time. Went to the GO with ziyan to get iodine and the guy was so indifferent to my skinless, disgusting, bloody knee. When I dabbed on some iodine, it was like someone electric-shocked - I mean electrocuted haha - my knee. I bet it must be because the iodine in the GO is so concentrated. Just now my mom put the iodine also like ten times less pain. Cannot bend my knee even more now haii

I shall go do my part for WR now.. siann

Pigs are SOOO dangerous

2009-08-13T19:20:00.003+08:00

Today I did a stupid thing while listening to someone say something stupid.

You know those Yam Yam biscuit dips that have this hint of what an animal is on the biscuit stick? Well, I was telling ziyan to guess what animal had the lucky number 8 (answer is octopus). Then she kept guessing weird things like: woman, snake, sea snake, giraffe. Then I gave her the clue that it was dangerous -some octopus are poisonous mah..-
Ziyan's guess: PIG. Then I laughed so hard at her answer that I didn't see that small, teenie, misleading step near the class benches and I tripped on it and fell down on my knees. My poor knees lah.. So painful.. After awhile my left knee stopped hurting but my right knee was still throbbing. I realised it was because the impact was on the joint between the knee and the shin bone unlike the left knee where the impact was on the knee cap :/

Going down the steps was abit painful but after I got home and iced it, it got numb and when I could feel my knee again, all I felt was PAIN. Alamak.. and somehow now can hardly bend. I think cannot do PE liao.. Maybe can play basketball but I bet I cannot do any of the knee bending warm-ups haha. Ah wells, shall see how it goes.. At the most if Michael Wong don't believe me then I show him my humoungous orh ceh loh

Dilemma

2009-08-12T18:14:00.003+08:00

Any difficult or perplexing situation or problem.

Oh dear me dear me... This is bad.. so bad..Now I understand why kaeyuan told me to go look at it.
I don't know what to do and BAH this is so frustrating.. Why did it happen in the first place?

Long long post

2009-08-11T21:18:00.005+08:00

Ahh so much to blog today XD

We had sex education today -for the third and thankfully last time- on marriage and cohabitation. Val had the inclination to go to the toilet again hahaha Quite ridiculous really. After that was literature test and guess what, the topic of the two poems was MARRIAGE. How coincidental... Speaking of which, I'm am 200% sure I failed my lit test and gp test. Both essays don't make sense at all and I really just anyhow whacked and mashed two things together to compare for lit T_T I'm so confident of failing that I told ziyan I would buy her a drink if I passed Lit test haha

Bio lecture was up next. Our current topic is Genetics of Viruses and it's really interesting. Angel Yang is quite a good lecturer. Don't know why everyone whines and moans about copying down what she wrote. Seriously.. she made the effort to write it down for us so just copy lah! Besides, it was a simplified version of what was written earlier on in the notes so it was easier to understand as well. Everyone should just go for Ah wong's lectures, then they'd understand what overcopying really means. His notes are in huge chunks of paragraphs. We watched this video of how HIV virus affects a normal human cell and it was freaking scary. There were hundreds, thousands of viruses everywhere and they are so crafty and sly in the way they target the cells.

The teachers should just screen this video to everyone for sex edu. I think watching how the virus proliferates and kills the host will be quite effective in ensuring abstinence than all those sex edu lessons lol And taking Lit lessons don't really help cos Lit can be so porn sometimes haha
Ended up playing Plants vs Zombies from 5-7 today.. Very fun and I'm getting addicted to it ohno. I was memorising bio prac stuff after dinner but nothing seemed to be staying inside my head.
Please do not read the following unless you are feeling very wuliao lols I just felt like doing it.

Colour change was assessed using the naked eye and visual comparison; visual assessment of colour change is hence subjective; resulting in inconsistent determination of colour change.
[use colourimeter to measure colour change and to standarize in assessing colour change]
Benedict's solution is only partially quantitative as it only allows for an estimation of the amount of reducing sugar present. [use a datalogger to measure exact amount of reducing sugar present]
Reaction temperature is not controlled throughout the experiment; fluctuating environmental temperatures affect the rate of __________, hence affecting the colour change observed.
[use thermostatically controlled water bath to ensure uniform rate of ____________]
Reaction pH is not controlled throughout experiment, fluctuations in pH may have affected the rate of _____ and hence the observed colour change
[add pH buffer to ensure consistent rate of _______ during experiment]

Ahah! I have found another use for a blog: to test myself on whether I memorised successfully lols please ignore the above regurgitation of limitations of benedict's test as it is of no importance to anyone except the blogger herself XD hee

GP INVASION

2009-08-10T23:39:00.002+08:00

Yes, hello this is my third time blogging today. I am unusually active in blogging today lols

I really hate reading about environmental issues. They make me feel so sick and despairing of humankind. The way some people treat the earth as if it was just some rubbish bin is disgusting. Human greed seems to know no bounds. I'm wondering if the rapid advancement in technology has anything to do with all the environmental problems that have popped up over the decade. The earth probably didn't have any pollution to begin with before the past 100-200 years. Although I must say, the same technology could have been used to clean up the earth. It all boils down to humans yet again.

Technology creates so many problems seriously.. hai.. religion losing its significance, environmental woes, over reliance, blah blah aiya but even so, it's because of technology that I'm able to sit here and blab my head off right now. Pffft I really don't want to think about it T_T

Procrastination yet again

2009-08-10T19:52:00.003+08:00

My productivity wore off after lunch T_T. Ended up reading mangas and playing games whilst doing research. I don't think I even managed to get anything useful out of it except "technology relieves us of our work, not our responsibility" lol I only remembered it cos it's such an apt description of what people are doing nowadays. Over reliance on technology. Woots. How fun..

I dont know what other topics to do research on. I don't like environment or media but Ms Wang recently gave us some info so I guess those two topics aren't too bad. I shall try to do more research on technology and globalisation, again lol. Maybe some research on animal rights too? They always seem to like to give questions on that instead of human rights issues like abortion and euthanesia which I prefer to do on.
