bobs and weebls rock! yay!

what do you thank God for?

i thank God that i am not blinded and my 5 senses are fully functional.

do i mean it literally or figuratively? that's up to you to guess (:

think i shall be getting a new backpack soon.

2009-05-18T18:26:00.003+09:00

we all have heard the saying that pride leads to a fall. i have experienced this many times for myself. unfortunately some people don't seem to have experienced this. well, it's a very valuable life lesson.

and you're going to learn it soon.

(how can you talk about others that way so explicitly?!)

2009-05-07T19:21:00.002+09:00

the concept of loss is something too profound for me. we win some, we lose some. at the end of the day, what matters most is what was important to us.

so hard to let go. nothing can capture a heart like a memory can.

do we really dance the dance of life alone?

2009-05-03T01:52:00.002+09:00

most importantly, thank you Lord (: SYF was an amazing experience. i say with all honesty that april was the happiest time in my rjc life and the memories are precious to me. warmup on wed morning was bad and i got quite discouraged but we managed to get our act together at the right time. the 10 mins outside the tuning room was the longest 10 mins ever! our stage performance was pretty good. not great, not bad. amazing that we could camwhore before results were released.

results this year were in stark contrast to that in 2007. people were surprised, shocked even. but with international judges, standards are definitely raised. im glad we got the gold with honours, i think it also had to do with some luck so really thank God. feel for some of the other schools though. but truthfully if it didn't happen this year, it would have happened some time in the future.

dinner at fish and co after (: thanks guys for making it a great day. thanks ms ku for your help whenever i asked (: thanks SL's for the effort. thanks j2's for being a great bunch. thanks j1's for being wacky, wonderful juniors!

whether or not the school thinks chamber is CO or band, or a hybrid of both, it doesn't matter to me anymore. it used to bother me that people think we are so slack yet we can get honours. not anymore. so what if we are considered slack? maybe the hours we put in for official practices are slack compared to the others, but we also put in a substantial amount of time and effort outside official pracs. what matters is that we know we did something good, and we have a collective shared memory of this day.

moving on...

this week was undeniably great. sleepover/baking last friday, deb's bday last sat, night prac this mon, slacking on tues, SYF on wed, CATS on thurs, marina barrage on fri.

sleepover was fun. margaret learnt how to play golf instead of coming up with a dance :/ i am absolutely clumsy in the kitchen but huiyan, peikhee and kristie are pretty good! brownies were tasty, shld make from scratch next time.

CATS was great! esp the set design!!!

barrage was fun (: the place is beautiful! pics are on facebook. batch chalet after A levels!

2009-04-28T23:53:00.002+09:00

tomorrow we play for the love of music, for the sweat we all have put in and for chamber itself.

we have come so far, let the music move us tmrw. let us play with the youthful exuberance of shostakovich and the sweet melancholy of nielsen. God be with us.

all the best!

2009-04-17T22:05:00.001+09:00

i wonder if you know the things you make me do

(like pushing on a door that says pull)

ha life can be beautiful (:

2009-04-03T22:18:00.002+09:00

things need to be said. things need to be done. will people understand?

tell the storm how big your God is.

it's getting harder to be optimistic as each day passes. the concepts of being warm and loving are slowly becoming foreign to me. maybe reading twilight could help reinforce those concepts? but i doubt it because that's pure escapism.

i should listen to more classical music instead of my head-banging, scream-inducing, full-of-drumbeats-and-guitar-riffs music for a month.

off to figure out the nervous world of our nervous system and the complexities of loci.

2009-03-30T01:40:00.002+09:00

it's not important.

it really isn't.

i wonder what these people live for. i hate superficiality.

on the other hand, there are quite a number of good rock bands around and i honestly enjoy rock music. haha LONG LIVE ROCK.

if i could laugh i'd love you

if i could smile at anything you said

we could be laughing lovers

i think you'd prefer to be miserable instead

if i could love i'd love you

this song is good (: and this weekend was great.

YO > chamber >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rgs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rjc.

that's really true, and some things won't change. it was never about not wanting to go to school, but more of some things that came with it.

last year was a forgettable year. friendships-wise, it was great. italy trip was a major highlight, and i enjoyed orientation so much. but everything else is just buried at the back of my mind, waiting to be dissolved within my brain juices. all my regrets built up over the years were flying in front of my face in full force by the end of the year. but one of the best things i did last year was to quit swimming and join chamber. i mean, swimming is just not for me at all, but i hope my friends are enjoying it there and im glad i talked to elmo yesterday (:

term 2 starts now :/ i need to curb my addiction to japanese files and spicy chicken :/ let it be a healthier term! i shall sleep at 10.30 every day next week yay.

yo im back (:

CT 1 is over. bio was really bad, sigh, im disappointed and gonna study much harder. but this weekend is reserved purely for fun things and slacking!

thanks sara and px for yesterday, though we all left empty-handed. more sushi shopping next time haha! madhu we missed you ^^ and KAT saw me haha next time shout hi to me!

today was chamber and i woke up late in the morning so i just let my hair reflect my mood. i think people really can do amazing things with hair (: but i don't LOL. lunch was fun, yuzhou told us a lot of funny stories about the rise carnegie trip. hahaha i can't imagine anyone stranded on an island!

and today i achieved one of my goals: sitting by the river with friends. thanks peikhee and eunice! :D love edward cullens!

today is really a good day. i talked to many people online :) SHANIN, HONGCHUAN, MARGARET, PEIKHEE, HUIYAN, ADRIEL, MICHELLE, KIMBERLYN, KHOONNIE and GERMYYYYY! :)

YO concert was last week. but im in a very high mood now and not in a serious mood to reflect about it. my bus passed by ccab today and i was like haizz. hope the rest are doing well, though i heard some unsavoury things. hmph wth.

chamber _______! CONFIRMED ON! :D

and...im going back to YO next sat! mainly to take a section photo which my cam doesn't have, and visit naijing/kimberlyn my 2 favourite nanyang girls aw haha (:

naijing i miss you!

2009-03-17T02:06:00.002+09:00

of course the most important things leave us.

how else are we supposed to know how important they are?

im letting go.

after seeing zhaokai's email, i rolled my eyes and couldn't stop laughing.

2009-03-08T00:51:00.002+09:00

thanking God for 18 years of living :)

thank you all who commemorated the occasion. it meant something to me :)

this is a very lousy post, but i'll definitely be back with some better posts after the common tests. now i wonder what 18 years of living means. i believe i am changing, and all of us are works in constant progress. hm, maybe degress (is this the right word?) haha.

18 is a weird age to be. but anyway, at least sectionals today were pretty good cos they're improving. i hope they can play somewhat like that on wednesday or better :/

my last SYO concert coming up in 10 days. 3 more rehearsals to go. i guess this is really the end. strange feeling, this is. as i said, it's weird to be 18. maybe im just weird :)

congrats chaochao!!! now you need to help me get in haha.

2009-02-20T19:51:00.001+09:00

zzz. some people look cute even when they eat :D

so many birthdays this week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA, NICKY, CRYSTAL, YLANG, CHAOYING!!!

2009-02-01T01:53:00.002+09:00

today was a good day! the ENTIRE chamber j2 batch came over for a practice session in the morning. first time i've seen everyone together in months :D

this is a good start to the lunar new year! too bad not everyone could stay for pizza. yiyang, fenwee and nick stayed till 5.30, it was really fun just talking, hope that people come for visits more often haha.

the simpsons theme song is really cute.

2009-01-25T00:58:00.002+09:00

happy chinese new year everyone! :D

i haven't been here for so long. school has been ongoing for 2 weeks already and it has been dandy enough so far. going to malaysia tmrw till tuesday and sch starts on wednesday, i wish wed were a holiday too. of course -.-

next week brings about new challenges, some of which are really a waste of time argh wth!!!!!

people are leaving YO and that makes me sad. i wonder what it will be like to step out of the studio for the last time. i guess i will know very soon! i feel that leaving YO is the hardest thing that i will have to go through this year. i don't know what will happen for the rest of the year though, there will probably be other major obstacles like the A-levels but that really is what it is: an exam. there are no feelings attached to it whatsoever, as it is just part and parcel of what jc life is about. but being in something like YO is totally different. it isn't just any cca that i joined in jc and immediately liked. i think i will continue this post when it is due, but i hope i will be able to control myself when i really leave (:

i never felt this way when i left rgs (but i do miss rgs a little haha). and obviously i did not feel even a teensy bit of what im feeling now when i left swimming. in fact, i was just overjoyed to throw it all away, to sound extreme but that's exactly what i felt.

i don't know exactly what i will be feeling right after i play in my last concert, but i am sure that passion will be overflowing (maybe i will attempt to hug everyone EW HAHA). for sure, i will miss YO a whole lot more than i will miss rj. im not even close to graduating but i am sure of that as it is a fact :D

btw the twilight theme song is really good, i love vampirish/snowmen-nish boys hahahah i hope SARA is reading this.

2009-01-11T17:29:00.001+09:00

homecoming means:

A coming to or returning home.
An annual event at schools, colleges, and universities for visiting graduates.

2009-01-03T17:47:00.002+09:00

happy new year to all :)

economists predict 2009 to be full of gloom for the economy which might last till 2010, but we should not lose hope :)

2008 might have looked absolutely forgettable on first thougt, but i did learn many things about the world, about others and about myself. the year ended especially well. trip to italy was also a major highlight :) thanks be to God!

ugh don't want to go to sch on monday, margie go to the library with me :D

2008-12-17T02:32:00.003+09:00

an oil spill supposedly ruins a painting.

but for me, the spills just made it more beautiful.

why why why? :(

anw, a lot of firsts happened last week.

first time...

playing in a band
having sunday dimsum bruch, which wasn't very leisurely haha but GUO TIE is great!!!
going to church on saturday (youth service) AND sunday (regular service)
cooking lunch for mom! :)
doing something proper about the future ha ha ha
getting pissed with you hahaha

hope YO chalet's been great for those who went :) choral fest was just a rush and we didn't take section photos but we'll have time to do that next jan/march, wish we could have another trip to europe again, to rome this time hehe. maybe spain! but i kinda lost interest in spain after finding out that prostitution was legal and other strange statistics lolzzz.

not gna be around for my niece's 1st birthday party this sunday! :( :( :( she's so cute.

gotta wake up early tmrw again -.-" bye.

2008-12-01T01:27:00.002+09:00

syo concert is over! which means i'll be around for only 2 more concerts. choral fest doesn't count haha. bahh i really don't want to leave :/

CIP this week was fun and a good experience. think i'll try to find smth like this to do again next time!

today was a lucky day :D though i spilt water on myself, who cares! haha i smile stupidly to myself and laugh. yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay.

and i wonder what goes on in the mind of terrorists! they must be really brainwashed inside and out. do they seriously think any religion would allow the destruction of innocent civilians? madness.

i think germie's coming back on saturday! margaret river chocolate factory :D bet she did loads of cool bio things. arrrrghh.

2008-11-17T21:24:00.002+09:00

hello, time for a normal post! probably the first one in months.

time passes really fast. this week the J2's finish their A's! :/ we finished PW hahaha i thought our prototype was realistic yay.

i keep going back to school. but besides that, i've watched hsm3 and tried out a hongkong cafe with germ! can't believe WE even had anything to do with the whole hsm franchise. haha! if you knew us, you wouldn't believe it either. i thought hsm2 was better. maybe cos i watched it for free on the flight to italy :D the black girl who went to yale totally rocks whee and zac efron looks worse now, sadly! also visited the biennale with my mom where i failed to "procure and appreciate these wonderful pieces of art", unlike the kid in my PW script! chamber bbq was really fun :) we took jumpshots! next time we must go swimming cos peikhee's condo has a beautiful swimming pool with boardwalks!

tmrw's peixian's belated birthday lunch. next week is YO concert omg pls hope it's good :/ :/ :/ and im helping out at a kiddies camp! hahah imagine that! i think i will fit in well since they're primary school kids :D

feel like going to the zoo (with eunice!!!) despite the recent incident :/ must be terrible for the man's family, hope the zoo management and government will support them in various ways.

btw eunice is damn funny :D unlike my nose which is peeling.

2008-11-08T19:31:00.001+09:00

marcus got voted off!!!!!!!!

CRYSTAL SUCKS @#*!@$(!#!@(^#!*(@#&*( HOPE SHE GETS VOTED OFF NEXT WEEK!!!

2008-10-31T16:25:00.003+09:00

PW. yay annabelle, su, chow song :)

praying that chao chao gets into imperial :D

bring on the rain
bring on the thunder

FOCUS!

edit: i finished the final draft of I&R! so goodbye PW :D

2008-10-16T00:59:00.002+09:00

how the human mind works can be rather interesting.

like how you used to think someone was one of the nicest people, really decent and everything all good till after awhile you've been shaken up cos you start to see what's inside and you suddenly realise,

"dude, you're actually... quite ugly"

hahaha :D

2008-10-12T14:14:00.002+09:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM ♥

i hope you liked my ben&jerry's treat! you have a brilliant mind and wonderful spirit. God bless you :)

2008-10-05T16:13:00.002+09:00

2008-10-03T01:08:00.002+09:00

harry potter and the half-blood prince movie trailer :)

i went crazy over the harry potter series after promos and re-read all the HP books i had, i esp love chamber of secrets :) i can't wait for HP 6 to come out which will be july next year. release date pushed back by about 8 months!!!

2008-10-01T19:32:00.008+09:00

You Scored as French/Spanish/Other Language

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in a foreign language, especially French or Spanish as they have a greater use in today's world. But other languages could be useful to you as well, such as Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian, or many others. With a major in a foreign language you could teach, or work for a company as a translator or foreign correspondent.

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didn’t think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. A minor in a foreign language is useful for ANY major.

French/Spanish/Other Language 81%
Psychology/Sociology 75%
English/Journalism/Comm 69%
History/Anthropology/Liberal Arts 69%
Education/Counseling 69%
HR/Business Management 63%
Visual &Performing Arts 56%
Political Science/Philosophy 56%
Religion/Theology 56%

Biology/Chemistry/Geology 50%
Nursing/Athletic Training/Health 44%
Accounting/Finance/Marketing 38%
Physics/Engineering/Computer 31%
Mathematics/Statistics 19%

------------------------------------------

cool :D this result must be due to the recent book i've been reading which is set against the backdrop of southern france! rennes de les baines, pyrenees mountains and domaine de la cade :D i don't actually know how to corrently pronounce all of those terms. and i must salute the power of google! har har i hope to discover more things and raise my IQ level. yeah right. you wouldn't believe what i found yesterday.

2008-10-01T00:56:00.003+09:00

ok hi im back. the promos are over like big whoopee, they were a joke. chem hates me :)

finally bought gummy bears and watched a movie today! mama mia was fantastic and of course the songs were the highlight. sal laughed at all the wrong parts. germs in seoul garden must be stopped ;D we met felicia too!

sepulchre has been sitting by my bedside for 2 days already, i think i should start reading it now. southern france ftw.

it's raining, i should sleep now! i bet marg is sleeping like a sloth.

super unfit now hehe and keep letting my mind wander off the far-off places, as far as southern france. urgh okay must sleep now. I BLOGGED! yay.

i love sonohra with all my heart :) mtv italia wins! luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca luca.

stupid madhu, i came online anyway. you lose! a series of unfortunate mishaps in the past week seem to be throwing themselves upon poor, hapless madhu. next time, look before you enter a toilet :)

at least im not a WELL-ROUNDED jellybean.

2008-08-14T00:25:00.003+09:00

i waited more than 1.5 years for THIS moment and i missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

im already being sucked of life, stop taking away all my hope and happiness in the world D:<

MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM ANGRY D:<

this is a wasted week which i had been anticipating since FOREVER and i missed my only chance!!!!!!!!!

other option is to pon syo rehearsal tmrw which i don't actually think is a very bad thing in this case because HOW OFTEN do you wait 1.5 years for something!!!!!!!! it was so worth it! i hate this!

i will retreat to my room and toss a coin.

anyway, GO RYO! YOU CAN DO IT! AI SHI TE RU!

2008-08-07T01:36:00.002+09:00

after 3 days of plodding through power series and binomial expansions tutorials... i am finished with them and i am back! plodding makes me sound like some prehistoric creature. however it does in NO way refer to a sloth, and margaret the jellybean is smirking now -.-"

haven't been here for a long time. nothing much worth mentioning, except scholarship day with germ/fel and mom's birthday dinner tonight :)

i've been letting my thoughts wander to all kinds of places recently :) randomly but may i say it amuses me how every morning i wake myself up by making funny faces in the mirror :)

on monday i woke myself up by playing boxing with my dad. we even have a boxing glove ha.

hope i remember to bring a camera to school tmrw for national day celebrations!

i discovered them on mtv italia! they sound quite different from most bands and l'amore sounds really matured I LOVE THEM (: aiya go find them on youtube, im gna call up hmv and ask if they stock their album.

im really weird, i like songs sung in foreign languages much more than english songs. too bad i was asjrijgoe@#*! LOUSY at jap.

there's actually nothing im really good at. nothing.

besides making others laugh, and everyone can do that so it's not very much!

2008-07-24T10:16:00.002+09:00

italy was amazing. i really miss the place, i want to go back and traipse around san gimignano and buy the huge 2-euors-per-slice pizza. pictures will be up another time.

----------

my throat feels inflamed and im coughing. i feel sickly. i dont think i'll need to go for kickboxing later. great. missing PE was never a bad thing. today there's some japanese fair in rj. i smell crepe :D

being sick is sometimes good. it makes you really think about things that you don't usually think about. life and all its grey areas. how to prove that people were damn wrong about you all the time.

----------

pw is a dumb subject. it just teaches you how to crap your way through very well. i think we're rather good at that.

----------

i don't understand why some people cannot seem to thank others whenever they receive help. are they just uneducated or uncultured?

2008-07-04T01:05:00.002+09:00

if only God would appear in front of my eyes and tell me what to do with my life. if only.

but i know i heard Him today. you know what He said? He told me, "stop lying to yourself".

stop lying to myself

that what i've done is enough
that i can do it
that i can continue complaining about this
that i think i am okay at chem just bcos i was in the past (in fact i am downright horrendous at it now that you might think im a sec 3 just beginning to learn bloody moles which are not going to have any relevance in my life whatsoever after i leave college)
that you cared, that you do care, or that you are going to care bcos you didn't, you don't, and you're not going to, i am SICK of you

dear God, i am a disturbed, troubled soul thrashing in a raging sea without even a plank to hold on to, but even if i am going to take this plunge to perhaps let myself sink even deeper, i pray that you will guide me through and let Your will be done! (my attempts at writing like an excellent lit student have failed)

also, i have been told that some of my jokes are getting old and stale so i am here to share a new joke that has been recommended to me.

" there was once a girl by the name of serene. one day she tripped and fell.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! "

-.-" i wonder how many people are laughing at that.

2008-07-02T00:01:00.002+09:00

back to school again. i suppose not many would actually bother what my take on CT was but anyway.

my state of preparation for CT: HORRENDOUS

my papers: DEPRESSING, though i did not feel depressed or remotely any trace of sadness about them hohoho!

the weekend was much fun, i met up with cheryl lim and had pahd thai and ben&jerry's brownie with berry yogurt then we trawled around esplanade library looking for random things for 2 hours. whee. island creamery on sat was full of YO people.

breaks in school are much fun as well, yong tau fu wins hands down! been having lit week stuff going on with 4 people which is clearly much better than lessons mainly because i can be myself around them (:

im starting to challenge many things that i'd believed in, perhaps they were never real at all. many things in life are intangible and there's always the saying that goes something along the lines of living for others then your life would be meaningful. well i think it's good to live for others but at the same time, considering all things, perhaps it's best to live for yourself.

all the things you said don't mean much anymore.

at least i've learnt to be a little more decisive now.

tmrw's a long day.

im only about half as fit as my dad.

i'd forgotten that swimming nationals were next week.

_____ is a big sacrifice. i mean BIG.

i can't fathom why i dread seeing them so much.

thanks for the strawberry yogurt chocolate bar, karen! really nice.

7. but no one would notice anyway, except you.

2008-06-19T01:34:00.002+09:00

it is ridiculous for me to be saying this at this point in time, when i will out of asia in 3 weeks but...

I WANT TO GO BACK TO JAPAN ): i love japan. i adore the atmosphere, the culture, the FOOD, the streets, the ryokans, the politeness of their citizens, the kawaii kiddos, the fresh seafood sold at the markets, conveyor belt sashimi, SUPERMARKETS, even their ice-cream tastes divinely different, the scenery, the mountains, the weather etc.

i was really not proficient in jap though, which explains why im not taking it now. i have to resort to thumbing through my jap tourist dictionary thing -.-"

20 more days. add oil! im clearly not counting down to CT's, they aren't worth the space on my msn personal message. whee IT's coming! everyone shld be excited by now.

btw SYO CAMP WAS SUPER FUN! i want to thank the tour comm for planning everything, for giving us such an awesome time, for making everything really fun and for ensuring that i was so WELL-FED during the camp by enthusiastically serving me rather large portions for lunch and dinner. (like im some special case who has to eat more) gg i put on 1kg -.-"

im sick now - runny nose. think im coming down with a flu. was sniffling throughout rehearsal yesterday but it's okay, my stand partner was sleeping practically the whole time LOL. imagine if i were terribly sick on the day of the chemistry CT...

:) :) :)

back to finishing econs! YEH! will be back next saturday. hiatus till then!

at least i blogged, and it was a normal post too ok MARGARET.

2008-06-12T01:01:00.002+09:00

this holiday has been so different. i hope our family trip this year will be to somewhere really interesting i.e. go on an african safari :)

syo camp is tmrw till saturday night (which i am sure will be MUCH MUCH FUN) and i wonder how strange i will be feeling next year, when we finally leave. it's almost certain that i'll say goodbye after the march concert next year so... im really trying to make the most of my time left here.

wanton mee yesterday AND today :) 95% fat-free dark choc gelato today lol, and i bought a gorgeous van gogh painting. hmm not exactly but you will see what i mean.

i ran 2km today! really unfit now. abs disappeared overnight after i quit swimming! truthfully, swimming was a waste of my life, i do not keep in touch with ANYONE from my old swimming club, how wonderful is that? anw my dear club was seriously NEVER bonded, EVER. when i think about swimming, i just feel pissed off -.-" mostly with myself for not quitting in sec 1 or smth.

----------

i tried so hard to be strong for You. thank You for Your spiritual presence and for giving me strength.

----------

some things are really a lot easier to do than others. the rewards are also so much better. i feel like talking to God.

----------

sometimes i feel like dropping everything and leaving it behind. i miss you, where are you?

2008-06-06T22:43:00.005+09:00

i look at you.

im looking at me.

good day sunlight
you don't know me
but i know you, see
you're my favourite star

you are actually freaking cool.

dance with me
well if you've got the poison
i've got the remedy

----------

after my haircut today, i look like pamela from syo cello section. hahaha.

5 realisations from break yesterday:

1) margaret gets scared as easily as me
2) deborah is oblivious to all joanne's super scary singing
3) remus does not take econs!
4) joanne + handstand = WARDROBE MALFUNCTION
5) i am probably the only one who actually laughs at joanne's singing, then realises it's damn scary after about 5 minutes

aww i love syo :D i hope camp is damn fun!

----------

personally, i thought we all were over this by now, i wonder why we're still bothering. most people think you aren't a loser if you've actually lost but you're a loser if you don't try again.

well in this case, i wouldn't care if i was classified as a loser - simply for not trying again. or perhaps simply for not being bothered.

because WHO are we? (especially after my sunlight was long gone, faded behind grey clouds)

sometimes i laugh, laugh and laugh - but inside i feel nothing but emptiness. lots of style, zero substance.

unfortunately it is this substance that i am seeking in life and if all else fails, i will venture forth to find the substance elsewhere.

----------

felicia, remind me that i owe you a love letter, seriously :) and we WILL go to island creamery after CTs, sorry that i have been MIA this whole time, i'll explain and make it up to you, i love you!

OMG JASON MRAZ IS COMING TO SINGAPORE FOR SINGFEST?!!!!!!!!! :D

SUNDAY:
+Jamie Scott
+Jason Mraz
+Rick Astley
+One Republic
+Panic at the Disco
+Stacie Orrico
+Alicia Keys

3 Aug 2008
Pre-Sale - S$200
Doorsales - S$250

usually i'd have nearly zero interest in these kind of things but this is different! i'd never ask my parents to give me money to go for it thought which means i have to fork out my own cash. actually if you seriously think about it, $200 is a really reasonable price for a very good line-up as aforementioned. plus the lineup is SO MUCH BETTER than last year's! so kudos to the organisers.

eeeee... if you want to go, and even though i will probably end up not going anyway, pls tell meeee :D

----------

off i go to be productive.

The Personality Test at 35,000 Feet

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time

Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.
You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.
For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests.
A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either! (yeah so i can borrow his books hah)

What Kind of Girl Are You?

You Would Be a Pet Rabbit

Playful and hyper, you enjoy being around other people... as long as everyone's having fun.
You are easily bored, and you almost always need some sort of entertainment.
If you're not keeping busy, then you're apt to get in some sort of trouble!

What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

"You're very entertaining, even when you're not trying to be"

what the... this reminds me of someone. hmph.

leening and i got yong tau fu today, lanabel did not :) the score now stands as da de - 1, xiao de - 0. im winning! stall 7 is definitely the best.

i miss germ and karen.

2008-05-25T01:28:00.002+09:00

oh no... no no no no.

oh God, please. no no no ):

now i listen to S.H.E to make me happy. how awesome.

----------

guess i never understood you, though i tried to. maybe you don't want me to and that's fine, you know. maybe i don't want to either, and maybe i also don't want you to know me all that well.

didn't think it'd be like this but i suppose there's some divine intervention involved and no way am i messing around with that. so let's just sit around and pray, like i always do right?

----------

will be going on a week-long computer hiatus soon. need to discover more meaningful things to do in life rather than plonk my bum on the swivel chair, listen to k-pop/j-pop/jason mraz, watch rubbish on youtube (but watching indiana jones stuff again is mind-numbingly COOOOOOL i've loved it since i was 7!!!), read people's blogs etc. there are better things to do than keeping up with people's lives and out of all the many blogs i frequent (yes, SAD to say), there are only the few that i actually care about. this computer screen is making my eyes hurt and i really care for my health. i think a hiatus is due, especially at this time! actually i don't do it very often, in fact yday i didnt use the com YAY, but still...

ok im crapping again. sigh.

----------

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY GERMIE!!! :)

i sincerely hope that you had a good early birthday dinner with fel, sam and me last night! the food was yummy, esp the fish. you have been one of the BEST influences in my life and i think i'd still be a screwed up person if i hadn't met you! not that im not now, but of course you're much less screwed than me. thanks for letting me sit with you at your picnic table on wednesday and always encouraging me to do tutorials :) quite successful so far. thanks for always looking out for me and believing that im not actually screwed up and for having punching sessions with me and for letting me call you at 12am. you know how i don't blog like this at all anymore but i did it for you! pls let me buy you ice-cream one day :) now all i have to do is convince you of the absolute goodness of sushi and other jap food...

2008-05-20T01:26:00.002+09:00

it just hits me like a thunderbolt and jolts me awake.

those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength

now im almost sure. very, very sure (:

Lord you have been so kind to me, even though im a lousy servant and forget to speak to You and do my daily reading on some days...how should i ever repay you?

bio essay gogogo im done with all the bio tutorials for this semester hoho

we have rehearsals 3 times a week during the june holidays yay!!! -.-" definitely much better than double trng sessions during the hols though. i cant believe i stayed in swimming for so long urgh i should just have quit after p6 and gone to nygh like i was supposed to and i'd probably have become much more focused on better things lots earlier -.-"

nvm for im in rj now and rj is a great place to be, considering the nightmare i had last night. it was really awful. i dreamt that i got posted to ______ (a certain school which i really dislike) and the experience was just horrid yah okay im being really crappy but at least my post isn't that abstract today so margaret will be pleased.

2008-05-17T23:19:00.002+09:00

i just got reminded again why i seriously hate taking photos.

it's strange how the world is so small and how we're connected to people in different ways. so hello, we meet again, but i know you and you don't know me.

strange things happen everyday but i think im getting better at predicting them and reacting to them now. acceptance is a good thing, though i wouldn't have liked to believe it at first.

holiday schedule is rather awesome -.-" it will be a most interesting holiday. planning to walk to island creamery at night again and go in search of some yummy guo tie :)

i admit this to myself though i am most reluntant to. i know what's happening. i don't know why what's happening is happening. i feel the years being stripped away from me - now i sometimes feel old and weary and can't exactly put a finger on it. i accept these circumstances and why am i not trying to change it? obviously i should.

right? :(

2008-05-09T00:51:00.001+09:00

I SUPPORT TOKYO'S BID TO HOST THE OLYMPICS IN 2016 :D :D :D :D :D

(guess who might be swimming!!!)

GO GO GO!

2008-05-06T00:08:00.002+09:00

hi karen, i miss you very very very much, probably more than you miss me ):

every morning she shuffles past the same places, staring at her sneakers, and asks herself what the heck she is doing. she wonders if you care. then she realises that she doesn't actually deserve your concern, or anyone else's for that matter. hence she returns to her own world, a world where the path is clearly written out in black and white, with some smudges in random places. a world where she knows what she has to do, how exactly it must be done and what must be achieved. yes, the two biggest goals must be achieved. she treads carefully through the waters and struggles through the storms. but she always emerges from it somehow, in her own world, her own seemingly perfect world.

i have a date with felicia tmrw :) we're gonna find the best guo tie in singapore, gosh, aren't we such epicures?

and i had a short, random date with germie and margaret today after PW meeting :) :) :)

2008-04-25T21:31:00.002+09:00

preamble: this is a very normal post, unlike the previous ones which nobody understands. margaret should be happy (:

number of sandfly bites attained during class camp: 51

to think that i wore pants and a long-sleeved shirt to sleep. furthermore i am #1 FAILURE in killing mosquitoes/sandflies/flying insects. during OBS i had 100+ bites. must be something to do with my blood type.

those of you who were spared the bite attack, you'd better thank your lucky stars cos sandfly bites are extremely ugly, annoying and make your hands look bumpy.

im glad that syo is having a break cos i've got 12 bites on my hands and everyone would ask me if i had chicken pox.

however, i have found one thing to thank God for in this time of crappiness. at least there are no bites on my face!

okay that was really lame -.-"

as much as i love kayaking, camping, rafting etc, i still love my skin more, so no more outdoor camping trips for me! hooray.

this post sounds really stupid. i will be back with a better one.

2008-04-23T01:18:00.005+09:00

so trivial and meaningless. is there anything more? cos there can't be much less. i plod on and on, knowing that the distance increases day by day, wanting to do something about it yet knowing that it isn't really worth the struggle. this is my decision and i will stand by the consequences.

im just thankful for daily revelations, though sometimes the naivety sickens me.

i wish i could write better.

anyway, im quitting swimming for good, so finally the official closure has arrived. 12 years gone now - and i do not regret my decision at all. i do wish i had been wiser, i wish i had listened to my parents' advice, i wish i had prayed and talked to God but it's all over and the time spent can never be bought back.

as i said, the naivety sickens me.

but i have been reading daily bread and talking to God, and i know throughout my walk wherever i go, my God is with me! (: cheers.

jiemeizzz ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (7 hearts!)

2008-04-20T14:23:00.002+09:00

~~bio~~
~~chem~~
maths - must try not to lose the bet
econs - essay outline and read new notes
PI - coming along rather nicely now :)

so im up to date with everything except math

thank God for things great or small. i started reading daily bread again :) and there are so many strange thoughts going through my head now. btw SYO break yday was one of the funnest ever :) love joanne and margaret.

out there all alone. yeah, i'll be fine, and please take care of yourself.

2008-04-17T00:43:00.002+09:00

you don't know me but i know you, see
you're my favorite star

i have been sitting here thinking and re-assessing my life and have decided that i should pray to God to forgive me for my manifold sins. i cannot believe how naive and frivolous i have been all these years and i am going to do something about it tomorrow.

i'd sleep it all away but the sun wont let me
i'd miss those lovely days of summer

still watching, waiting and wondering.

i know it shouldn't be, but it still feels weird and it still feels wrong, as if there isn't any engine to drive me on anymore. i knew i wouldn't be able to keep it up myself but i suppose this is how karma bites you - hard. and it is all my doing, that is why i keep it hidden.

i love the peace and quiet around me at night. so calm and serene.

should have been serene long ago. it has served me well this year.

i wna evaporate sometimes, like POOF! this is hardly meant to be funny but somehow it is cos it's an inside joke.

i know my posts this year seem so self-centred but that doesnt mean that i dont care or have forgotten about all the lovely souls out there whom i care about (:

btw my octet rocks :) going to school at 6.40am for rehearsal was certainly an experience and you guys really make me smile everyday. so thank you to margaret, joanne and deborah for always laughing with me, talking to me, trying to understand though im so incoherent, trying to help me this year though im always stoning and for being my dbsk always (none of you call us that but i dont care hoho). thanks to xueqian for providing me with amusement. thanks to wangxiang for always being the really nice person he is. thanks matthew for being so cartoonish and your imitations of me faillll. thanks adriel, my fellow fatty, for photocopying the scores for us and for entertaining me.

the previous paragraph sounded exactly like something i would have written last year but not anymore.

good-day sunlight
i'd like to say how truly bright you are
you don't know me but i know you
you're my favorite

:) yeah yeah yeah, you're my favourite, ha ha ha

2008-04-10T02:09:00.004+09:00

it surprises and amazes me, how i am completely not bothered by something i used to care so much about once upon a time.

i miss my guo tie.

2008-04-05T02:58:00.001+09:00

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is the forthcoming album by Jason Mraz, scheduled for release on May 20, 2008.

:)

this is our fate, im yours

too bad my birthday's over so i've to get it myself, haha.

2008-04-02T02:41:00.003+09:00

i owe this blog a happy post... sometime.

how, in this enclosure, can i be the only alien? so it has become MY problem and im not even embarrassed to say it anymore, but trying is tiring so im not going to try.

how can it be?

please don't drive away from my car crash of a heart? i look ahead and only a feeling of apprehension fills me.

(i love jason mraz! emo lyrics are the best)

meeting the octet in school today was :) titanic!!! omgzzz im that stupid. but my heart will still go on for all of you :)

guo tie = HAPPY food. yumyum i love germ chaoying limin fel.

2008-03-29T02:37:00.003+09:00

Social Life at Hogwarts

Some people don't like you, but it's not because you're a bad person. You are often misunderstood. You are determined to get whatever your heart desires. You are devoted and strong-willed. You are very caring, but only to those you love. You get excellent grades and sometimes brag. You are only scared of one thing, and that is losing someone you love. And there aren't many that you do.

Harry: Hates you because you are Malfoy's girlfriend. He thinks you'll end up a deatheater because of it. He has no respect for you or your boyfriend. He is being judgemental, but the rivalry between him and Draco blocks out all sense of kindness and logic.

Ron: Doesn't like you because, again, you are Malfoy's girlfriend. Thinks you are an okay person, but stays away because of Malfoy.

Hermione: Hates and despises you. Thinks you are extremely stupid for going out with Malfoy. Hates you for getting outstanding marks in class. She glares at you whenever you pass.

Ginny: Doesn't really like or hate you. Doesn't know you very well. Gives you weird looks.

Neville: He is very intimidated by you and steers clear of you. Scared that you'll get Malfoy to hex him.

Fred and George: Same as Ginny.

Oliver Wood: Doesn't know you.

Cedric Diggory: Thought you were a good person deep down, before he died.

Cho Chang: Is nice to you and helps you in school work. Dislikes people who judge you without knowing you. Isn't your friend. Just an aquaintance.

Lavender Brown: Doesn't bother with you. Knows who you are and that's it.

Draco Malfoy: He loves you. Thinks you are the only one who knows the real him. Constantly with you, very protective of you as well. He wished he hadn't brought you in all this Voldemort mess, but hopes that somehow you and him can escape it together. He thanks God that he has you and will risk his life for you. You defend him when people bad mouth him, and he appreciates that you care. All he needs is you. You've saved him from depression.

Pansy: Hates you, but can't do anything otherwise Draco will hate her. Thinks about getting rid of you or getting Draco to cheat on you with her. All plans so far have been unsuccessful.

Crabbe and Goyle: Like you because you are sort of nice to them and always give them something to snack on.

Dumbledore: Thinks you are a good person deep down, but knows that Mister Malfoy has gotten in too deep with Voldemort. Which means that you'll be there with Malfoy til the end, even if it means being on the Dark Lord's side. He hopes you two can survive together.

McGonagall: Thinks you are an excellent and greatly skilled student, but doesn't approve of you and Malfoy. It's none of her business though.

Hagrid: Also thinks you a great student, but dislikes that you gave up his class because Malfoy did.

Snape: Adores you and awards you points as much as possible. Thinks you are as good as he is in potions. Hopes you and Draco the best. He advises you on all your problems and is a sort of fatherly figure.

Voldemort: Is suspicious about if you are a worthy deatheater and if you are loyal to him. He doesn't know for certain that you and Draco want to leave. He keeps a close eye on both of you.

Reputation: Draco's Girlfriend.

got this of fart's blog (thank you). i bolded the draco part since im "draco's girlfriend". ha.

girl of few words. this is succint enough for now.

not even asking for an explanation, just wondering blindly. hoping, praying and hoping some more.

God will answer the calls of the faithful. i hope, though i doubt, that i can qualify.

one day i will just stop caring and see how unbecoming that might be.

P.S. syo concert was FUN :) really fun. wish it weren't over. miss tchaikovsky 5th symphony. miss my crazy stand partners. miss dbsk!!! (deborah bug serene kohkohkrunch!)

2008-03-26T02:36:00.002+09:00

____ is good. i repeat that hopelessly in my mind to change my stubborn mentality.

suitability and adaptability are at an all-time low. the world can just spin around me and i probably wouldn't notice. just stuck in this rut. sometimes it feels like a splotch in a picture, an open wound. something that shouldn't be there.

people ask me the same question everyday. i give the same answer most of the time with the same smile on my face, yet i wonder if i know what i am even talking about. hahaha, i laugh, and can you hear the sarcasm dripping in my voice?

flipping, fluttering, jumping, 180 degree turns... that feeling is all too stranger to me. it comes at random moments which i have no control of and it leaves me feeling disgruntled. the helpless, hapless creature i am.

i look around for something to hang on to when the tide is coming in but i see nothing. no life buoy, no float, nothing. not even a message in a bottle.

i trudge along, hoping against hope.

then i ask God why?

it all feels so alien. you think you know but you have NO IDEA.

but that familiar tune, that familiar picture... give me hope. enough hope to last. hopefully the sustainability rate will be high.

smack - and my fingers start running. i wish my legs could carry me as fast. i could have walked all the way home from rehearsal today it i were feeling crazy enough, with a backpack and violin in hand, dragging my feet slowly.

yes, say hello to the mollusc in its shell. prod it - but it refuses to come out. you need to find the right person to coax it out of its comfort zone :)

SYO concert is this thursday :) and after that there's nothing much to look forward to. the thought of leaving next march really depresses me. alright, there's peixian and ada's band concert cum play on friday and bwinter oglympics and um... class camp.

it's nearly 2am. what am i doing here? math tutorial 4 is only two-thirds done. ta-ta.

all SYO pple, PLEASE SLEEP EARLY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT! jinjun has been appointed to chase all SYO pple offline at 12am on thursday. ah shoot, i need to pack the stupid black flats.

P.S. thanks samantha, for spending your lunch break with me today :)

2008-03-20T00:13:00.002+09:00

tskkkk. i am the equivalent a neutral, uncharged molecule of water.

carmen fantasy is verrry nice :)

og outing was fun cos we laughed and laughed, same goes for class outing which was slightly more fun, surprisingly.

it's 11pm and i want to go for a walk. to just walk in the night, without a destination but my legs just carrying me to wherever they feel like going. emo? i think not. just feeling the need to get out on my own and breathe some fresh air.

strawberry pocky is happy food, it makes life seem that much better and is the solution to some of life's problems. just some minor ones :)

2008-03-10T00:45:00.007+09:00

random interesting thing that happened in school this week was that on monday, about 7 of us girls from 09SO3A decided to camwhore in the toilet before GP lesson, albeit taking only one picture which probably cannot be classified under 'camwhoring' but it was rather amusing anyway. shall get arias to send the picture over.

so my birthday was on wednesday. i have joined the '17 club', as gabriel tong puts it :) thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday, including the random people who don't even know me!!!

thank you BW 08 for singing me a birthday song in the morning and for the donut! you all are really the BEST BEST BESTESTEST BEST OG that i could have asked for :D

thank you to all those who gaves me notes/presents! :D for those of you whose birthdays were before mine, i got you all presents too! yay. and i'll get presents for the rest of you when your birthdays come! btw, joanne gave me the snake stuffed toy from ikea even though she probably knows how much i fear all reptiles. hahaha.

thank you to my SYO friends for wishing me happy bday along the corridors after school :) haha this is the best cca ever.

thanks to germ fel vivien sam limin margaret chaoying ylang yuhan joanne and the others who shared the cake for me :D you all are great! and germ is so SLY. hahaha. and thanks to germ fel sam for having lunch with me! the mentaiko (cod roe) pasta at pastamania isn't that great... i wanted to puke after eating it but maybe that's cos i wolfed everything down in 5 minutes cos i was in a rush.

thanks to 09SO3A for staying back after school f0r about an hour to share the cake! haha i never expected such a good birthday. happy birthday to chew min as well! the class picture we took is gorgeous :) there are about 60+ pictures in my camera from that day alone, though some of them must be credited to people like ryan who camwhored using my camera. haha. i love all the pictures! really :D everyone looks really happy. (it might have had smth to do with the fact that my bday also happened to fall on the last day of school)

thanks leican for being my dinner date :D it's such a pity that we didn't manage to finish eating the ramen (my first time ever not finishing it!) but at least we finished the soft shell crab! haha.

i really thank God for all of you in my life and for the blessings that you all are :)

old friends whom i love very much <3

class photo! (16/26 of us) thanks to gabriel ng for helping us take this. sorry that i had to drag you away from your guitar (:

look at pernjie. haha.

presents that i bought for some people!

octet (thanks joanne for finally sending this to me) <3

the pictures are large but im too lazy to resize them.

was stuck in a huge dilemma on thurs but it looks like im back to square one. i suppose that we have to sacrifice what we really want for things that really matter. but i really did want... ):

karen thinks that ryo looks abnormal. im bloody INSULTED. grr. shall finish chem tutorial 2 now, bye!

lunch, syo stuff, og lunch (yay finally! xinying, you must go), zoo, bio lesson in sch... O.o

sky of love? please?

2008-03-01T23:57:00.002+09:00

missing you.

and you.

and you.

and you.

and you.

and fel/margaret who are in 3H.

margaret, when i saw you in the lab on friday it was as if some sparks just exploded in my heart. i was really SO happy and that's why i swallowed you up in a huge huge huge embrace. sorry if i jumped on you and made your bones crack. omgomg fel, can you save me? can i join you? ):

(need to get presents for gift exchange)

2008-02-27T01:20:00.002+09:00

this reliance...

it kills me.

and you can't even save yourself. much less me.

2008-02-24T01:55:00.002+09:00

im listening to 'always' by bon jovi on repeat so often now. anw it's a really great song!

this week was rather exciting. can't wait for gift exchange with crystal, leican and ylang! margaret, are you in? :D

just read arias' blog and pernjie's really such a joker. haha. after school on wednesday, went to s11 then the playground beside it with arias jonny nicholas zhengning. haven't been to a playground since last november with bug. stood around and emo-ed a little. i wonder why they all say i look so carefree. we should go back someday in the evening, it'll definitely be nicer, plus the weather will be more suitable for the emo mood haha.

thursday was O2 which i'd actually been anticipating since the end of the 1st orientation. the activities were quite boring, we went on a food hunt around holland village but ice-cream from cold rock (LOVE HONEYCOMB ICE-CREAM WITH GUMMY BEARS!!!) shared with see made up for it :D and BW 08 is DAMN AWESOME cos we won the food hunt though we hardly finished our stations. hahah when they announced that we won, there was a total change in atmosphere. from everyone pretending to sleep, we all just burst out laughing at the same time. my OG rocks, we won O1 and O2 yay :D

friday was dramafeste with BW 08. before that i went to the library to find xiangying/shunji/jiahong but ended up sitting with louis and did some cartoon drawings of random people, gossiped (he's like some gossip uncle hahaha) and played HANGMAN which I WAS SUPER PRO AT cos it was my area of EXPERTISE after all right? -.-" wlao i let him suan me everyday about the same thing since november.

is this silence going to be the only thing we can agree on?

my birthday's on the last day of term 1. haha louis will get a small cake which he can't share with the whole rj population (: of course my cake will be better than his, right? hahaha. don't kill me louie!

2008-02-06T01:19:00.000+09:00

haha today was fun and last week wasn't too bad either.

OG study session last thurs where there were only 5 of us but we mostly go home the same way so that's quite cool eh? haha random. friday was sarah chang's concert which was really good! margaret and i waited so long to get a picture taken with her (: then i went back to school at 10.30pm for swim camp and there was training on saturday morning! felt like sleeping throughout the day even during SYO. i love sitting with margaret and making her laugh (: anyway our swimming seniors wanted the girls in the J1 batch to join waterpolo but uh i opted out so hahaha.

the coffeeshops at 6th avenue serve yummy food and i like S11 at bishan too :D hahaha random again.

yday the class went for lunch at RI canteen and the food's rather good. mashed potatoes ftw! haha and the portions are big! went RI library after that with misuzu, joel and xiaowen cos the rest wanted to watch some M18 movie and we didn't wna go but i think they couldn't get in so they played soccer instead. haha jack -.-" found them at rj bball courts after that and during the 5 mins i was there, people were cartwheeling around or trying to get some lizard out of a seat?!!! wth haha.

then today was fun cos it was OG dinner and birthday celebration for 4 people born on 5th feb, and 2 of them were from our OG yay! tom and gabriel tong (: i brought a banana for them each on behalf of our OG in the morning cos there were excess bananas at home hahaha and accidentally poked into the banana for tom cos the marker ink wouldn't come out so i plunged the whole marker into the skin and it went into the banana! haha oops sorry. anyway BW likes to give out bananas right? haha. i suppose it's quite weird to get a banana as your birthday present from your OG. owell. then they had a celebration in the canteen with nice cakes at 7.30 and after a really long time we went for OG dinner :D i shall try not to let anyone record my LAUGH. haha. anw hope you both had a great day! :D

our OG has had 6 people who've celebrated birthdays already. 15 more to go! plus dunno how many more who are coming in for 2nd intake. whooo.

there's supposed to be class outing tmrw but im not going cos i've been out the whole day today and the only productive thing i did was to read econs lecture notes but i finished them so not bad O.o haha lol. maybe i'll drop by for lunch! but probably not. hope you all have fun :D

i am not a beard plantation owner mien -.-" hahaha. ok good night byeee.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR :D i'll be in malaysia from thurs to sat for our annual CNY trip there. malaysian yong tau fu/wanton mee/prawn mee ftw! totally.

したまま、さよなら! jap is damn cool! :D

2008-01-28T23:42:00.001+09:00

ooh now i have 2 more new books. my mom let me get 'a thousand splendid suns' as an extremely EARLY birthday present hahaha and i had a $20 borders gift card from my aunt for christmas so i got sepulchure by kate mosse, which i hope is as good as labyrinth, and paid the balance of $3.95 yay (: sepulchure is apparently a piece of piano music composed by debussy who was french. kate mosse lives in southern france and all her books have some french element to them... ck!!! you should read them since you love france/all things french. i have no idea when i am going to finish all these unread books, i have like 8 in total, including artemis fowl which was bought YEARS ago but i really dislike science-fiction. owell. and nick lent me a book too which i should finish first so i can return it to him asap >.< baaaahhh.

ok i decided to delete this part of my post that i posted yesterday bcos it was emo and i don't think it's good for my health to be emo -.-" lol.

i rather enjoy going for student development classes aka sex education with 09SO3A cos xiaowen makes funny comments, gregory always gets scolded and arias laughs as if a bomb has exploded inside her. hah. i might be quiet in class and some people have said that i should "MAKE NOISE" but i still find my classmates entertaining and most people are nice and i think class learning journey/class camp/class CIP will turn out to be enriching :) lalala.

OG dinner last sat was really fun (although only about 1/3 of the OG was present). walked to botanic gardens after SYO where the BW house outing was held and stayed there for nearly an hour before going to the food court at plaza sing for dinner. we talked about anything and crapped and i laughed till my head hit the table :D haha BW 08 rocks :D

this friday to saturday is swim camp (YES, I JOINED SWIMMING and the reactions i have got to that are mixed, LOL) and i hope i can pull through the swimming aspect. never thought there would be training. ARGH. i haven't swum since last july. help. anw im happy that i will get to see KAT and talk to her, just like how i did today and it was really enjoyable just like old times and we agree that someone is mean D:< and i will be going for the camp at like 10pm cos before that margaret and i will be watching the sarah chang concert. sibelius! :D joanne is a poo who does not like the sibelius violin concerto.

ok gotta go read econs now, i slept for 1 hour when i came home. yay -.- new dbsk songs are good, so are lifehouse songs and um... chopin ballades! they sound kind of sad and emo but that's why i like them. haha. i think i can only blog only once a week, hope you all don't neglect my blog or smth lol.

したまま、さよなら!

finally, some jap words which are the title of a dbsk song by junsu! i think it is pronounced as "shi ta ma ma, sa yo na ra". haha am i correct? i still remember hiragana, though my jap still sucks which kinda explains why im not continuing with jap lessons anymore and i should use that brain space for chem or smth. yuhan takes H2 japanese in rj though, she is a cooolioozzz unlike me. i still like jap, it's really cool!!! ):

2008-01-21T23:32:00.000+09:00

my blog isn't dead! haha. i finished bio tutorial last weekend, that's why im here now. i could be finishing chem tutorial on stupid moles which makes me O.o but nvm, im quite sleepy.

last week our OG celebrated tue's and geri's birthdays! HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D went out for OG dinner last friday but only about a quarter of the OG went. hahaha it was really great seeing all of them again, i love BW 08 like crazy. study session in the library before that was more futile than productive. sheesh.

tutorials started last week! i think there's another bio tutorial coming soon and there's so much of chem which is really crappy.

orientation 2 is coming! (: haha so exciting, despite it being only one day! i complained to my dad that one day was too short and he said, "orientation again, every day there's orientation right? how many days do you want it to be? 4 days again? come back so late every day blah blah blah..." whatever, the prospect of running around and having fun with BW 08 is too tantalizing to resist :D really really really love BW 08!!!!!

jiahong, why do you call yourself fir? hahaha.

ok im gonna sleep! i dunno why i suddenly thought of baking and recipes for chocolate cookie bark and chocolate peanut butter truffles.

2008-01-12T01:18:00.000+09:00

im waiting for some food in the oven to cook right now so that's why im here! actually i could be reading labyrinth, which is a really cool book by kate mosse. haha. it's very long and seems draggy at first but then you realise that all the details fit the puzzle beautifully. then by around page 400+ you can understand everything that was going on. the book has 504 pages. i must say that the author portrayed the atrocities of the cathar crusade in the 13th century really well and southern france is so rich in history and sounds like a great place to visit. and her vision is really epic in scope but it's not just a historical thriller story like da vinci code cos there's also the element of romance thrown in. so glad that alais and guilhem ended up together in the end :) shweeet. labyrinth is excellent stuff and it won the best read at the british book awards last year, i think. everyone who doesn't mind books which are more than 500 pages long should read it! anyway why am i blabbing on about a book?

yay my food's ready!

anyway, had BWMR'kistan today, which was a BW and MR combined house party. lol, quite fun, though at the start half the OG was being bored in the canteen but we had winston and hua qun to entertain us. and hweeleong's kindergarten lesson was really hilarious too. we played captain's ball then had dinner and watched some performances. haha then our OG went to J8 to buy ice-cream but i didn't buy anything. owell.

im in 09S03A. it's fine there, most people are enthu except a few... like me -.-" i am successfully working towards my new year resolution to be quiet and serene, like my name suggests. my class takes BCME (bio chem maths econs). i don't want to take music anymore cos they're learning about asian/gamelan music which i have zero interest in. i think econs would be more relevant and interesting.

btw i think rj school food is better than in rgs. haha. some seniors said that you would lose weight in jc while others said you might gain a lot of weight -.-" argh. my class eats a lot, from what i have observed. like during every break they will eat something.

ok im going to finish compiling my list of expenses for the month. hahah rj is an expensive place to be in! bye :)

2008-01-08T23:40:00.000+09:00

first day of lessons today. i had chem, PE and econs with free blocks in between. had OG lunch after that. haha.

orientation ended yesterday. quite sad about it but all good things have to come to an end. i don't even know what to say... actually i have MANY things to say, just that nothing seems to be coming out.

but i do know that BW 08 WAS THE BEST OG :D ONITE CHAMPIONS!!! our item was damn good! feel the spirit of takboleh tahan! everyone turned up for the rehearsal on saturday to dance at esplanade for about 5 hours when they could have been at home doing other more fun things. whooooooo! thanks jon for choreographing such a great dance!

we were the most enthu OG, i should think. on the first night we definitely went home the latest! haha. all the games and activites and sentosa were so fun :D and we also had the best OGLs! siti syafiq hweeleong!

ok yay now BW 08 has our own table in the canteen and we met at our tavern this morning. hope everyone goes there tmrw too >.<

xinying, serene, bhuvan, sining, amelia, xiangying, geri, stephanie, claire taitai, kimberley, kevin, jonlim towkay, winston, tom our chiobu, shunji, wang jing, gabriel, jia hong the nicest dance partner, darren, hua qun, tue!

I LOVE BW 08! my enthu onite champions :D

and im sorry to all those people who TAKBOLEH TAHAN me now cos of my raving about my OG (:

2008-01-06T02:09:00.000+09:00

orientation is fun and my OG is the best :D haha today we met up to practice for the audition and it was excellent, everyone turned up! haha.

BW 08! t'akboleh tahan! only 1 more day of orientation left ): kinda sad. anyway will blog in more detail soon.

we met a small girl today and she was fun :)

2007-12-31T14:36:00.000+09:00

do i owe this blog the honour of writing an obligatory end-of-year post? haha well tmrw is the new year and on wednesday i'll be going to bishan, not anderson road anymore and it's gonna be my school for the next 2 years.

there are many thoughts swirling around in my mind. it feels like a whirlpool, so many things inside but yet i can't seem to get anything out. haha.

but as always, every year is memorable and this year is no different. i didn't do well in school, what's new? i cut back on swimming a whole lot more this year too and decided to become more enthu in SYO instead and i think it was one of the best decisions i made this year :D in fact, i think the best things this year are SYO-related. i love the pictures the rgs sec 4's take after every concert and we only started the trend this year. they are my favourite pictures. every time i look at them, i can feel the LOVE and WARMTH radiating :) haha i think the highlight of next year will be the SYO trip to italy where margaret can rap joanne a bday rap again and perhaps orientation too, as some of the seniors say that orientation will be some of the most enjoyable days in jc life.

thanks to 407 for being nice and for making it a rather conducive studying environment huh :) i will miss the fun we had together at netball carn 2007 and the class lunch after that. i'll miss the silly talking sessions that germ and i had at the back of class, laughing at things no one else would understand. i'll miss tickling chaoying's chin, making vivien scream, making fel/limin/jianghe/sam laugh at me doing smth stupid -.-"

and i want to thank JOANNE the most of all, for popping into class all the time to tell me really lame stuff or to wake me up and practically shout in my ear "WAKE UP SLOTH" when im sleeping in class as usual. hahaha you brightened up this whole year a lot :D it has been so much more fun with you around and we have damn good telepathy, rmb the countless times we would bump into each other when we were trying to find each other? hahah and the times we sat together in the hall even though we were supposed to be in classes. or how about crapping in the library while doing chinese with margaret? or throwing things at each other and doing "magic tricks" (mostly you!) and trying to smack the nonexistent fly of each other's faces. hahaha. anw we must celebrate our 10th year friendship anniversary next year with much aplomb :D and don't say smth to do with a bomb, sheesh. i love your rhymes, continue rhyming please. and I LOVE YOU x1000000000 YOU ARE PRICELESS, i hope that we will be laughing and rhyming till we're gray and old.

and MARGARET, DEBORAH, MIFIONA! the other rgs sec 4's. thanks for making each rehearsal and concert a whole lot of fun. margaret, you are so hilarious, please keep this spirit up in jc. i love you all!

GERM im so glad that we were in the same class for 4 years :) thanks for always being patient with me while teaching me math and for looking out for me ALWAYS, even when i don't ask you to. you're like my mom :) hahaha but that's why i love you!

VIVIEN! ha thanks for everything even though you always suan me. you are a really talented and nice person. i can't believe you couldn't get enough of suaning me, you even had to do it in my christmas card. but guess what! SOME OF YOUR PREDICTIONS CAME TRUE :D :D :D so thanks for always being so EXCITED for me. lol, even though i don't appreciate it some times.

CHAOYING! i know you can't tag my board for some strange reason but i hope you're reading this. thanks for being so super crappy and for starting the kiapping motion. you brought lots of laughs into my sec 3/4 life. sorry if i was always rolling my eyes at you when we first met each other. you turned out to be a fantastic friend, i only hope that you do not love the beef at my house more than you love me!

FEL you are really helpful. thanks for everything :) and thanks for being so "excited" for me, though i assure you there is not much reason to be so excited. hahahah i love you and seriously, i love making you laugh whether it's WITH me or AT me -.-" HAHA.

QUICK FICS! fangling izzy crystal. it's great that we're still keeping in touch cos i dunno how many people do that since primary school days... i always have no problem opening myself up and laughing like crazy around you all and i hope it always stays that way! i love you all.

i had the best holidays in a long time! not just because of our japan trip where i did NOT meet ryosuke or any lookalike. but it doesn't matter :) this hol was significantly different cos i didn't have to train at all so i was always waking up at around 8 smth. lol. anyway a lot of things this hol were to do with music and that was really great.

ok anyway i also would like to thank my octet members for providing me with such fun a week before school started. thanks for teaching me how to appreciate chamber music if not i'd still think it was damn boring :D thanks joanne for always making me laugh, margaret for her leadership and her hilariousness, deborah for her cool-headedness all the time, adriel for being enthu, wang xiang for always being the 100% nice guy, matthew for always being punctual and for saying random things that are sometimes really funny, xue qian for being nice. haha :)

thanks to other people like limin, sam, jianghe, lee jing my favourite syo junior (who WILL come to italy next year okay!!! don't care about HER)! no thanks to louis for always suaning me but thanks for providing me with so much interesting NEWS anyway. hahaha. and your cake will not be WOAHHHH, i hope my cake's bigger than yours. haha whatever :D hah we shall see on 5th march!

2008 is coming soon! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! whee and im really grateful that see's in my OG :) BW 08!!!

2007-12-30T00:42:00.000+09:00

WHOPPING WHEEZYBURGERS! OMGOMG MARGARET! MY SUNNY APPROBATION IS GOING TO SINK IN YOUR FACE RIGHT NOW!

and octet! joanne margaret deb wangxiang adriel xueqian matthew! thanks for all the fun this week :) you're all such fun to be with haha. hope we can continue this in jc!

2007-12-26T13:48:00.001+09:00

ryan: aiya, ___ IS AN IDIOT LAH

2007-12-25T02:01:00.000+09:00

im super sleepy... anyway!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

it's christmas eve today and it'll be christmas day tmrw!

haha. had octet rehearsal yesterday sans darling deborah (WE MISSED YOU!!!) and everyone managed to find my house! haha yay. then quick fics came for a sleepover after that. i bought waaaay too many snacks for everyone :/ but it was fun! especially when izzy shouted at crys, "HI AUNTY!" and the rubbish about don juan. hahaha.

okay im too sleepy to continue and furthermore, there's this syo assessment on wednesday, which is also the day RIGHT AFTER christmas. delightful timing, no? and i only started practicing yday URRRGGGH? jaslyn and i were freaking out together, haha. guess i have to spend christmas day with my violin! not that i mind very much :) but i hate mendelssohn. anw it's christmas. we should not hate!

and i have SIX new books to finish reading before school starts, which is next thursday! okay, see what i am doing? reading storybooks instead of any school texts. well done! at least im not taking economics! anyway, labyrinth by KATE MOSSE (not kate moss the supermodel! haha ck will be sad!) looks really fabulous :D

i need someone to teach me about vectors for math! okay maybe i'll just learn it properly next year >.<

bye! hope you all had a merry christmas!

2007-12-19T19:53:00.001+09:00

i met rachel at mandeville during some group class one day when we were trying to EAT ROSIN! :D HAHAHAHA!

anyway today i was super unlucky. i missed my bus stop cos i was dreaming and at the next one some bloody noob carbuncle parked his car there when he obviously wasn't supposed to so the bus couldn't get into the bus lane and just drove off to the next stop so i only could alight at 6th avenue and had to trudge back up the hill. suppurating gumball >:[ then it started raining and i almost slipped. i was feeling rather cross by then so i felt like kicking this rock on the ground, but luckily i realised that this peculiar "rock" had CONTOURS on it. turned out that it was a piece of dog shit. yucks. also, i didn't realise the hill was so high. my fitness has obviously taken a turn for the worse. i felt a bit like a raving lunatic so i started waving my umbrella at these crows but they just scrambled away and the water all flew into my nose instead and i started coughing. and when i got home, my mom said she had gone to visit my new niece, who was born yesterday. sadly, i did not get to go along!!! mien, i wanted to buy her a nice balloon!

sigh.

2007-12-15T01:24:00.000+09:00

yada just sent me a message on facebook and im so excited :D hahaha. argh, will we ever see the thai players again?

and WISHWIN! i always thought his name was willy O.o

haha our YO batch should go to bangkok and watch their year-end concert or smth in bangkok after a-levels (: joanne said that they were laughing at me when kan said that they initially invited some japanese musicians to come but they couldn't make it cos THEY WERE STILL HAVING SCHOOL ): urgh my face totally fell and margaret the mean turned to grin at me stupidly.

joanne came over today and it was super fun! (: we met a small german boy at the park and he was really funny. he sang happy birthday in a few warped versions, suaned me for not being able to rollerblade properly (WTH! YOU DIE! but i will not come after you cos you're a little kiddy) and kept throwing his soccer ball at us. tsk, we kept laughing at all the comments made by SOMEONE. btw joanne, you left your quartet scores here but i'll return it to you on the 23rd or whenever the next practice is. and rmb to invite margaret/deb/me to your house on 28th :D haha.

gonna zzzz now.

2007-12-13T16:02:00.000+09:00

a mosquito just bit my left cheek! damn itchy. i hate mozzies.

saw cheryl last weekto watch the violin comp on sat :D went out with quah, fang and izzy after that for a psuedo-mg outing. haha. everything was fun, except that the ben&jerry's ice-cream prices have risen AGAIN but too bad, we had to buy it cos we needed somewhere to sit and talk. everyone should just get their ice-cream fix from island creamery, seriously.

the bite is swelling. bloody mosquito.

deborah why can't you avail yourself on the 23rd BOOOOO ):

and nobody thinks im a sloth except for you, joanne :D hahaha.

wait, im back. i just read some of my syo juniors' blogs (okay we don't really call them our juniors but in this case, i don't want to name the people one by one haha) and im really happy that they are so enthu about YO in general :) lol it's really nice to hear them say they had fun at camp and how the concert was really fun and all. i think it must be strauss that got to everyone. haha :D im not in the comm but in violin 2 section, jinghui margaret and i have been there the longest out of everyone, which is only 2+ years and not that long really. haha. and it's just very nice to see all the younger pple being so eager and enthu about everything. well my section's fine except for one person i completely dislike, everyone knows who that is huh.

wheee. can't wait to go back for YO next year. hope the pieces are nice. hope our octet will become more fun too and that cellist no 2 will join YO so 8 of us will all be inside hahaha :D im being so enthu about YO (learning from the juniors hahaha), i don't think i was ever this enthu about swimming. owell. this holiday has been majorly great and a huge reason is that there's no such thing as trg to contend with anymore :D so no more waking up at 6.30am. actually i feel as if i quit last year already, i went trg like 8 times in 2 months. owell. whatever. i don't think i'll join swimming in rj cos of italy :) mien! so exciting! we'll be celebrating joanne's birthday in italy with lots of pasta/pizza/desserts! haha hopefully :D omgomg and rmb our lousy plan to toss margaret into ___'s room? don't think it'll happen now.

i blogged such a long post, which is a rarity now isn't it? i bet margaret's grinning like a cheshire cat. are you in taiwan reading this?

2007-12-08T01:24:00.000+09:00

i have been asked to blog! so in a nutshell, we visited practically the whole of kyushu. (hakata, yufuin, beppu, ibusuki, saga, nagasaki) haha. the food everywhere was so yummy and i ate the no. 1 croquette in japan! :D haha the kaiten sushi was so fun. slept a lot on the trip too cos we kept taking the train and the movement of the train makes one sleepy. the best place was yufuin. the lonely planet guidebook does not do that beautiful place justice AT ALL. it's a quaint little town with the most fabulous little shops selling all sorts of things like cakes/hello kitty things/dog stuff/bread/homemade tofu!!! yum! ya and i went a bit mad and bought this hello kitty set with 7 hello kittys' inside and they all play musical instruments. hahaha. i put it on the piano.

last week was syo camp/rehearsals/concert, which saw 4 days of fun :) great friends, great music. death and transfiguration sounded good, all thanks to mr lim. i think d&t has made me see him in a completely new light. he worked really hard. pls clap for him! next concert we're playing some tchaikovsky and shosty, who also happens to be joanne's best friend next to frosty the snowman :)

the 4th finger of my left hand feels like it's gonna drop off so i shall go off now. wheee i got 3 books from borders today. yay. 'the other boleyn girl' has been made into a movie so when it comes to sg i will watch it :D the book's interesting!

JOANNE/MARGARET! I BLOGGED!

2007-12-01T18:17:00.000+09:00

photobucket sucks. it is not letting me finish uploading FAM photos (yes, way overdue), japan trip photos, random photos and syo camp/concert photos. as such, i am very displeased.

anyway syo concert was funnn, and so was this whole week :) i saw CHERYLLLL yesterday and omg i went super high! haha island creamery pleaseeee. and our octet's coming along rather nicely, margaret should be happy about that. bad thing is that we have to find about 8 minutes worth of random xmas/pop pieces but i think we can just sightread those on stage since everyone hates practicing them anyway. and wang xiang is super funny haha.

2007-11-27T00:45:00.000+09:00

japan was funnn :D blog abt it more in the next post!

first day of syo camp today. yay it's just nice to be back after a week's absence. my favourite moment today was the one when i took a picture with deborah who was hanging upside down from the monkey bars with her mouth wide open while i did a twist sign with my fingers! hahaha. and rehearsals are funny cos of someone who keeps making me snigger at someone else.

____ is gross. she should just stick to herself and stop hankering around. and i think that she thinks she is bloody smart. can you not be so noob? ha ok bye.

2007-11-16T00:13:00.000+09:00

FAM's over! and im glad i saved money not buying new shoes and a bag. haha yay :D anyway, the food was okay. i liked the prawns! jamie was our class representative for the pageant and her item was quite interesting hahaha. some robot cum basketball dance!

and everyone looked really pretty!

2007-10-31T20:41:00.000+09:00

higher chinese o's over = the end of my chinese education = end of secondary school life :)

next year MOE is combining the higher chinese and chinese syllabus -.-" then what's the point of taking HIGHER chinese anymore? won't the o-level paper be damn easy huh?! seriously lame. and to think that the standard of chinese in secondary schools isn't that great, now it's going to worsen! wow, what ever happened to our goal of being effectively bilingual?

yi4 lun4 wen2 FTW! the newspaper article reviews are getting WORSE with each year, seriously. haha PRAYS that we all do well. mieeeennn i hope the jiang classes helped :/ i hope i get B3! though knowing that after all the tuition and extra lessons and studying all the chinese stuff on inet (cheng yu, ming ren ming yan etc.), im not even capable of attaining an A is kinda... degrading and demoralising. haha. but we must set REALISTIC goals right.

i love joanneeee. we ate so much today (katsu sandwich LOVELOVELOVE, ice-cream, carrot cake/bacon bun from crystal jade) and i treated her to hokkaido ice-cream! yay i wanna sleep.

EDIT
i just came back from church! :) boooo i have piano lesson tmrw and i haven't practiced and now it's too late to prac. owell. i love dbsk. and everyone shld take my advice and listen to sibelius violin concerto :D don't listen to joanne who says it isn't nice! grrrr my saint-saens cd screwed up on me. DIEEEEE.

vivien! how do you play tyrannian golf? :D

2007-10-27T12:09:00.001+09:00

IMSLP has been shut down following some complaints from universal music ): this is really such a loss. stupid UE. luckily i printed out romancha already! boooo you know there were so many liszt scores that i wanted to print but sadly they're gone now. bring IMSLP back!!!

school has been surpprisingly fun. we had class party on monday and ylang took so many silly pictures :D haha will upload them after hcl o's! i love the pic of fel and me eating the gummies. yay someone brought starbursts for the party. whoever you are, THANK THANKS THANKS A WHOLE LOT :D i love starbursts! and class spring cleaning turned out to be really fun! haha and ylang, YUHAN SHOWED ME HER DANCE! nehneh you weren't there to see it. haha.

lunch on monday was super hilarious. joanne and i went to food republic and i saw 4 ____! omg i was so super excited and couldn't stop grinning like some cheshire cat and i suddenly collided with joanne. anyway when i went to buy food, they had already left :( SADDDD.

and hardcore chinese class everyday has ended. there was an RI guy who could laugh louder than me + joanne + margaret COMBINED! omg hahaha sheesh. thanks joanne for being such a great seating partner and for your wingardium leviosa rubbish and everything else :D eh, the mosquito flew over there, you know? we are very resourceful people and discovered some new things this week which i would never have thought possible! thanks to joanne's keen eye for new observations ;)

dbsk's songs from their 1st live concert album, summer album and shine/ride on are really good! so is 'no pain no gain' and 'million men'! haha chaoying, you'll be pleased to know that i watched their banjun drama unforgettable love before netball carn. i liked junsu's story, though it turned out to be a hoax in the end -.-"

school is ending next friday! yay we're graduating! we made it :D next week i only have to attend school on wednesday and friday. whoooo! not that i want to go to rjc -.-" but i hope it'll be better than rgs. haha.

i didn't know isetan sold snoopy calendars. too bad i bought a hello kitty one about a month ago. argh it would be really wasteful and useless to buy a new one, wouldn't it? must learn to control my impulsivity D:< the hello kitty one was really nice too though.

we're going to japan! :D but not osaka ): i wonder whether we went to hideoshiogaka! (SPELLING?) some city in osaka. boooooo, no ryo ):

oh hahah ryosuke isn't competing in the swimming world cup held in singapore this weekend. hence, i do not care about it! haha i thought he was coming! luckily we didn't subscribe to supersports. haha.

shall be back after hcl o's. margaret isn't coming for syo later. who am i gonna sit with!!! and i heard that mr lim is pissed with us! whoops!

all the best to those having O levels or A levels now. God blesssss :)

2007-10-19T00:30:00.000+09:00

the sec 2 gang came over for lunch on monday (: we had teppanyaki and couldn't finish the spread! owell. germ didn't eat beef and squid. i ate the most. whoops. thanks kat for baking the cookies! we also baked brownies after lunch and sal, germ and i didn't have to anything other than pour the condiments into the mixing bowl cos kat the STRONG mixed everything up wonderfully (: ha, it helps to have a swimmer friend! NOT one that is retired like me! hahaha. they also kindly cooked dinner for me! WHOOOO :D

assessments for china studies/BBE have been successfully completed (: thank God i survived china studies. now there's only chem journal/quiz!

today i asked ylang to accompany me to the toilet and she agreed ONLY on the condition that i let her take a pic of me star-jumping outside the toilet. wthhh!!! so i did it and she timed the shot perfectly. yet another unflattering picture of me!

HI MARGARET, I MISS YOU VERY MUCH TOO :D DON'T PON SYO NEXT THURSDAY HAHAHA.

germ printed romancha/romanza/romance for me! ok i can't remember the name. it's the 2nd movement of a chopin concerto. THANKS GERM!

ok im gonna sleep now. byeee.

and i can't find a good place for zhi char! hmph.

2007-10-13T01:08:00.000+09:00

math was okay. forgot some stuff like notations even though i had much time to check so the marks gone here are super wasted, completely screwed up 1 question bcos the idea of factor theorem did not occur to me at all, couldn't do something which i always had trouble with and should have clarified about but didn't so i only have myself to blame. other than that, fine. chem paper sucked to the maximum. so much worse than my mid-year grade!!! SPA was average though i expected higher, PT was good enough but eoy marks were disgusting. it was easily the worst paper that i've ever done in my entire life.

heard that the school advertised for a new chemistry head of department in the classfied ads.

well, it DOES say something about the current chem depeartment, doesn't it? i don't think the mole is leaving. finally someone is taking a stand.

my grades are less than mediocre, as usual. but im used to it. this year i had other things which i deemed to be... of more importance. (pls don't holler "OMG! WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN GRADES?" cos im not buying it) so im not regretting anything. okay, except freaking chem, which im still being sore about.

how can YOU wonder such a thing? isn't the answer blatantly dancing right in front of your eyes?

yeah, you failed. to what extent, i don't think im the best person to ask. but you failed, anyhow.

thanks loads. goodbye.

ended up eating dairy queen ice-cream like a sad person today with joanne. woe is me.

im gna listen to insa and sleep after that ): maybe it was a bad dream...

yeah. maybe that's what it was.

but my parents didn't say anything when i told them about marks. yay.

my dad said something in jap that meant "never mind" or smth along those lines (:

(ugh of course HE doesn't mind. it's not his paper!) but nvm. he seems super -.-" about everything to do with school, especially after he went for SPM and heard chicky. i am sure that his impression of the school diminished greatly. ha. whatever. we're leaving in about 3 weeks anyway. i think that's a good thing.

2007-10-08T17:13:00.000+09:00

i give up. the first page of the chopin ballade REFUSES to be printed properly but the other nine pages are highly co-operative. sheesh! anyway i realised that the netball carn photos i've uploaded are HUGE, in comparison to the size of the text box but owell! you can see all us (ESP SIHUI WHO HAS REQUESTED FOR HER INTERESTING PHOTOS TO BE MADE PUBLIC ON MY HUMBLE BLOG!) in full glory :D

29th september 2007! i reached school at 6.50am and look who greeted me! :D

HIHI FEL AND VIVIEN

i have no pictures of the games so we shall have to move on to after the games ended.

UNITE!

YLANG trying to take a photo of yuhan?

ms kum with her daughter. i took this pic then ran away cos the kid didn't look too happy to be caught on camera :/

CLASS BANNER :) it's so pretty thanks to ADI!

josselyn scolding someone :D haha btw JOSSELYN'S THE BEST GOAL SHOOTER! congratulate her.

yadayada then they announced the results for everything. here's beihan and sihui going up to collect our prize (:

CLASS PHOTO :D

being lame with yuhan -.-" i can't believe i posted this! hahaha.

oh yes, our prize was extremely wonderful.

random orange people in class (:

LOVE YOU MICROSCOPIC ORGANISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for always helping me with math and chem!

LOVE YOU MORE THAN CANDY (: ~~MORE THAN RYO!~~

SIHUI THE PRINCESS in her element. do not underestimate her just bcos of the ridiculously pretty picture :D

class lunch at pizza hut (i really wonder why their pizza crust is so damn oily and i could taste a trace of tempura batter in it! ok maybe i was imagining things)

shusi, yvonne, beihan, josselyn, rachel, jiang he & princess sihui! :D

and since sihui wants me to post more photos of her...

behaving just like a princess should, with the demure look and all. heeheehee. ngPT would be proud of you! (and the class would laugh if that happened)

rachel, jiang he and sihui who is sporting a double chin! GASP. WHAT HORROR. and you always thought she was skinny bananas! hah just kidding.

following which, beihan, sihui and i went to island creamery.

haha. chipmunk! :)

there. this post is gonna be extremely long. and im going off now.

schoolwork:

china studies groupwork for presentation on thurs :/
china studies individual essay!
start researching for BBE essay
update chem journal + chem homework :/
prep for philo oral exam? hello, what are we doing about this? haha.
study chinese?!!!

i think corn is a food that cannot be digested, from personal experience. is this true?

2007-10-06T00:00:00.001+09:00

I LOVE DBSK :D math eoy is over and the last exam we have now is higher chinese o-levels!

math was okay, just that i forgot factor theorem existed. but i managed to solve for k! ha my answer was different from everyone else's though. too bad. at least my method was correct, i think O.o hope i do well enough for my maths grade to get 3.6 ): PLS PLS PLS PLS!

went for rjc open house today with bug/margaret who was around only half the time. cca booths were interesting, save for swimming which sucked. sorry, not being biased cos i have retired but it looked so boring that luckily the waterpolo guys took up all the seating space so it could look as if at least someone was actually manning the booth -.-" and LOL everyone seemed to avoid the china studies booth like the plauge. haha sorry but seriously, who WANTS to take china studies?

some of the clubs and societies looked cool like JAPANESE CULTURAL CLUB! :DDDDD which i want to join cos all the activities are jap-oriented and fun! hahaha. the guy at the booth helped margaret and me write our names in jap and when he was like, "er im not sure how to write KRUNCH", i just laughed wildly and gestured towards margaret, who turned away and stared at the railing fixatedly, though when she looked at me, she was super embarrassed. hahaha SORRY, LOVE YOU!

~in the science room~
margaret: where's the chem booth?
me: yeah, im looking for it too
joanne: dunno, but physics is right there
margaret/me: PHYSICS?!!!!! DON'T CARE LAH.

hahah PHYSICS SUCKS! it's a general consensus... right? :D

we also discovered that shaggy is a genius as he's on the dean's list for chem, physics and econs! SHEESH! haha and my chopin etudes sound sucky to the maximum! nehneh, or NAY NAY? -stares at bug and sniggers. oh yeah, everyone should try the new shrimp cutlet burger from mos burger. it's really yummy and they give lots of shrimp :D

ok so this will be an EXTREMELY LATE upload of photos from netball carn but i was really excited cos it was the first time i brought a camera to school for a big event! :) the photos are taking damn long to upload on photobucket. sheesh, SNAIL'S PACE. but i did promise myself that i would save the photos after math and anyway tmrw is saturday so i can sleep in! (for the 1st time after a month!)

ok i can't take it. the upload is freaking slow so i will upload the pics in another post by themselves. haha. tmrw we're watching lust, caution! hahahaha. im going out on a saturday afternoon and it's not for syo :D

i have found the willpower and motivation to exercise (i.e. go running, do cardio!) bcos i have put on 2kg since july... which is also the time i retired from swimming. @#&!*)@#!()@*$_!@*($!!!!! I AM CURSED BY THE GOD OF FATNESS! GO HIEW! PWN THE GOD OF FATNESS! hope i can go swimming at the hwa chong pool. like, just pay 50 cents for entry or smth. haha yay (:

does anyone want to go for the hwa chong jc open house? it's NEXT FRIDAY! tell me if you're free to go!!!

2007-10-01T01:16:00.000+09:00

netball carn yesterday was the best in the course of 4 years!

we got 2nd (aiya, sad that we didn't win anything for the banner) and wreaked our revenge for last year against them :D they are damn arrogant.

the cheer was really cute. who dares to mess with us will be prata! we should cook prata. eh my only complaint is that during the games i was the only one who would jump and bounce and scream while cheering! wah. make me look like the only fool ):

class lunch at pizza hut after that with 2/3 of the class in attendance :D that's considered excellent for us already. haha. the pizza crust was really oily :/ and the cheezy pizza thingy had way too much cheese.

then beihan, sihui and i went to serene centre (MY HOME!) and i got macs fries for the first time in about a year (seriously!!! haha KOWA CHAO YING). so they kept making me eat more cos i'd been "deprived". actually i don't think i've been cos i've found better food :D haha. i have some funny photos of sihui, who has multiple personalities like ahpek, normal sihui, F6 sihui, sihui with double chin :D hahah.

i will post photos the next time!!! :D yay 407 rocks! and if you don't agree, you will become prata/chaota/whatever limin says in the cheer (:

2007-09-24T23:04:00.000+09:00

i want to but i don't think i can. boooooo ):

the hong kong food guide isn't doing me any good! but i ran 2-3 km today so i guess that's good. luckily my dad goes walking. the chances of me going running by myself are... anorexic. not even slim -.-" ahhhh i love pictures in food guides. darn. for lunch tmrw i'll go to food republic and i hope the mini hongkong restaurant still has shrimp wonton mee, and hopefully it's still $4 :/

oooooh big mouth -strangles him. but we can't really blame him. urgh. can't wait to go to japan! KANDAI, OSAKA :D (margaret, HE IS AS CUTE AS I SAY HE IS! HAH how dare you say he is not skinny and cute and hot)

now im free on thursday evening/saturday afternoon for about a month cos of syo exam break. haha. will probably spend that free time reading (okok shall read chinese books too) or sleeping or baking or practicing. yay.

ok im gna attempt to catch up on math... bye.

2007-09-21T23:28:00.000+09:00

thanks bug and margaret for a really lovely day out, though i didn't get to try the hong kong cafe! and bug, i think you will do well in your rapping career ;) now you and margaret and fellow aspiring rapper wannabe's! and our laughs are SYNCHRONISED, how awesome is that? :D

margaret is super cute! and sorry bug, for making you finish my bubble tea. i wasted my money!!!

and BUG ROCKS COS SHE SAVED ME FROM SOMEONE IN CHEM LAB 1! YES BUG, LUBBSSS YOOOO! how do you always know where to find me? haha. thanks for saving me from her ;D

integration sucks and studying for chinese has got to start NOW. school's fine, though i go home late from tues-fri. i can only go home super early on monday. chem art is really fun and it's not as heavy as pharm chem. haha. our lit teacher, mr sakhar, is extremely witty. chinese woman and pimple that could be viewed from google earth hahahah :D

so on the whole, my options would be very interesting if only i didn't fall asleep in all of them.

(germ and i are currently postulating a theory as to why i fall asleep during options, and not having enough sleep is not a reason bcos when i sleep at 10.30pm the day before i STILL doze off somehow. the teachers are good though and lesson material is definitely interesting. i am terribly sorry that i always sleep hahaha)

oh, the irony!

sheesh i want to go kayaking/dragon boating ): and i feel like a baby whale so i should go running too.

omg i love dbsk! i didn't know i didn't have so many of their songs previously but i have them now hahahaha yay. the summer album is really fantastic! summer dream/love in the ice are loveeeee. and ryo's vidoes are yay yay yay cos when i see him all red-faced after the race i just love it and go into swooning mode. and he can play piano, he says it's his other specialty (: i know i've said it before but i had to say it again hahaha i am going mad, OH NO! hahax i am getting chopin piano duets next week. (NOT BCOS OF HIM OKAY)

yay there are SO MANY MANY possibilities! (MARGARET! we shall build a city of possibilities! hahah) yay, love piano duets (: and i shall learn jap soon, my mom promised that i could haha. whee i realise that i haven't been using the korean phrasebook. sorry germz ): i learnt how to say 'nonsense' in korean though so i could respond to ___ in that way HAHAHA.

ok im gonna stop wasting so much time on the com till after higher chinese o's and after i finish learning a silly bach sonata (stupid rhythm). let's see if i can uphold that vow.

2007-09-20T23:46:00.000+09:00

ADVERTISEMENT!

FOR SALE: BEETHOVEN PIANO SONATAS, VOLUME 1 (sonatas no. 1-11), ABRSM PUBLICATIONS!

i promise that the book is in very good condition! and i'll give you a discount too! original price was $48 but im selling it at $40. or if you want to negotiate and work out a deal, im also open to that option!

any interested parties, pls contact me at serene_hiew23@hotmail.com or if you know me personally just ask me then! oh and tell your friends that im selling this book and ask them if they want it! cos i bought the henle verlag versions already. THANKS!

2007-09-16T16:24:00.000+09:00

hahaha more options next week ): but i really appreciate the effort the teachers put into planning it (wow, first time hiew is praising the teachers huh). chem art is really fun and hopefully i don't fall asleep in lit again.

im not gonna buy the snail anymore ;D hahaha.

and im trying to learn what "mo shinji ran na teh oh shi es" (?????) means, it's in jap and im gonna ask my dad to translate that heh. no wonder he couldn't translate what i was saying last time, it must have sounded like a load of gibberish/rubbish jap cos i said "mo shinji... nama wei oh she des" and my dad was like O.o HUH? eh but i was rather close hahah and i like watching the video over and over again (:

central rocks! i love the jap snack confectionery at the basement cos they sell SNOOPY CEREAL! yum yum! but they have chippy which is disgusting. and a hongkong dai pai dong (the streetside food thing) which looks good! and all the jap food upstairs is like super fantastic just that it really makes your wallet lighter by quite a lot. so if i go there, no matter how much im craving for curry udon/hokkaido ramen/tempura, i'll probably end up at pepper lunch anyway. haha.

sheesh, i bought 8 days for the hong kong food guide :/ however, there is no mention of dimsum at all. it's mostly all about roast meats and noodles. where are the dimsums!!!

and yay i have the piano version of la campenalla/la ronde des lutins (: haha cheap thrills. la campenalla is damn hard! my hand is so small and it can't stretch wide enough for some of the chords. -pulls at the webbing between fingers. and my piano teacher forced me to learn a schubert sonata, though i kept arguing that i wanted prokofiev -.-" hahax and IMSLP is awesomeee, someone posted havanaise the day after i searched for it and i downloaded it yesterday whoo! :D the habanera rhythm is super nice! but the last page of havanaise sucks cos you have to play continuous tenths and i can't do it properly ): sad.

and vivien, i was going to treat you to ice-cream but since you are being so ridiculous about the whole ahlian thing, i have changed my mind ;D toooo baaaaaaad! -crosses eyes and sticks out tongue.

lol my dad seems to hate ryo. he's mean, like bug who said ryo looked like a monkey ): womgtbbqqqzzzz (a new word i invented) NO LOR. tsk, don't treat my dad to ____ already! ha he will be upset that he cannot showcase his "hidden talent".

2007-09-13T01:57:00.000+09:00

arghhhhh i can't take it!

I LOVE IT WHEN RYO PLAYS PIANO! AHHHHHH!

though his playing isn't anything close to mind-numbingly-awesome-everyone-should-give-him-a-standing-ovation-now, i just love it when he plays cos it's sooooo cute!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

im wasting time cos i keep replaying that section of the video over and over again. and i also keep replaying the part at the asian games before the race where he stands up cos he has skinny legs and skinny ankles which are hotness, so unlike me. hahah! and also the part where he gets interviewed. and the part where he cries omg it's damn cute ): er and also the part where he does chin-ups! sheesh i could do... 1 last time. haha i bet i can't do anymore but who cares? not me. and you shld see him in his schoolboy uniform. omg udon club leader boy TOTALLY PALES IN COMPARISON! hahahah yay. i haven't found a chopin piano duet yet! hmph. shall find tmrw! can someone pls post more videos of him? pls pls pls i will be eternally grateful. (ok i know i am super biased but whatever!!!)

hahah interview interview. i will learn jap and be as good as my dad then i can read jap stuff by myself (: i wish i'd learnt jap since i was a kiddo! cos languages are so much more interesting than math, which is pretty useless and the only reason i do it is so i can get 3.6 (btw today's test was kukoo cos i couldn't finish finding some things and didn't manage to finish the last question and i think i will only get 1 mark for 4c! sadness. and i forgot to include height for volume of sphere! arghhh. i hope the math and chem dept moderate the marks PLEASE!!!)

today i started practising piano again (er i only played for about half an hour) and i sound rusty and yucky! my wrists are so weak now. sigh i bet i won't be able to play what i wna learn. YO tmrw, i hope it's better than the previous rehearsals cos none of them have been much good since we've gone back and sexy achoo is gone ): haha at least the people liked our cookies! margaret and i wrote a letter to bug! hahaha hope you liked it bug, love you and margaret as much as i love ryo and that is A LOT!

had lit advanced option yday and today. was falling asleep half the time. so many readings we have. tsk. and i feel super loner hahaha who said i was really sociable huh?

yday was the funnest recess ever! ok maybe not funnest. but memorable (: shuyu alicia chenhoon and i went mad laughing over some things! hahaha. shuyu is super funny! then we did math together for 4 hours and shuyu was a pro as usual. chenhoon is mean! when she saw a pic of ryo, she pointed and squealed, "eee! WHY IS HIS MOUTH LIKE THAT? it curves upwards! so weird!" she's so mean, i am upset. and she said he wasn't cute and that he was... gay?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH 2 GUYS HUGGING EACH OTHER!!! hmphhhhhhh!

whatever chenhoon. you say toh-mah-toh, i say toh-may-toh, to each her own (: i will never hate you for not liking the shape of ryo's mouth. LOL. still luffya!

ok gonna watch the video one more time before i sleep. i promise not to waste time anymore and study math and chinese! philo is super f7. and margaret is my dear apprentice (:

2007-09-10T16:39:00.000+09:00

yes!!! SEE XIN YING! i got the tickets for cello suites - winds in the void! (thanks mom! i'll pay you back!) :D oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SEE THE ZEE!

yay so we can go after all! i thought there weren't any more tickets left but there were. God is good (: haha i don't watch movies anymore, save for harry potter. but never mind cos we'll be going for this concert and it looks really great!

tsk and SAL is the only one who has lessons on mondays. the 4 of us don't have. grrrr, seoul gardening! haha. ok byeeee.

2007-09-08T00:33:00.000+09:00

ok i have not been blogging. the holidays are ending. my piano dip exam is over :) thought it was okay-ish but not great. sight-reading was okay, THANK GOD! i just want to pass this so i can take lrsm. haha but i have to do other things first.

after piano exam on wednesday, went for dinner at ichiban with mom and i think it isn't very worth it. hmph. anyway we went to borders after that and i finally got harry potter and the deathly hallows! yesss :D i love the cover. mine's the hardcover version. ooh, also found this wonderful beethoven compilation set in which there were 6 cd's and cello music (5 cd's)!!! there's bach cello suites, dvorak/elgar/saint-saens cello concertos and lots more! super worth it! i am good at snuffing out bargains. hahaha.

spent thursday eating penang prawn mee (chilli soup base ftw!!!) and reading harry potter 7. cried like mad when dobby died ): i love dobby, why did he die? WE NEED DOBBY BACK! PLS BRING HIM BACK! I NEED THE RESURRECTION STONE!!! cry cry cry.

tribute to dobby:
dobby, you were so good and cute and BRAVE. you were the bravest elf i've ever known and love you for squeaking "you will not hurt harry potter" in that cute voice and for going against the malfoy family, for standing up to bellatrix lestrange. thank you for being there from book 2 to 7, for always saving harry potter and his friends, for always putting others before yourself. thank you for showing me how to be brave in the face of death, how to care, how to be free. thank you for giving the other house-elves hope to be freed from slavery. love you, i will always remember you for all the brave things that you did.

HERE LIES DOBBY, A FREE ELF.
R.I.P

ok shut up about me getting emotional over an elf. i like him! so what! grrrrr.

syo was f7. shall not talk about it.

math test is next wednesday! today is friday and i have done only a little bit. tsk. but i will do more math after this. and i also have not completed the 3 mini stacks of chinese worksheets where you have to fill in 250 idioms. haha. sheesh. and i have fun options! was very very lucky but thank God (:

my father is truly the most brilliant hiew (: he translated this entire interview with ryosuke in jap to english for me! omgomg he can read EVERYTHING with the correct pronunciation and his translation is all correct! I AM SUPREMELY IMPRESSED! YEAHHHH DAD YOU ARE EXTREMELY CLEVER :D

hahaha ryo said his other specialty is playing piano! omgggggggggg! -frantically searches for chopin piano duets. wheeeeeeeee, so happy (:

very happy that he was 1st at the world meet in japan too!!! though i think the americans didn't take part. but whatever, ryo is prooooooo (: and i am going crazy again.

argh i wna go to kindai high schoooooool ):

hahahaha. PRO (: i shall stop giving comments if not this post will never end and sadly, i need to go to math.

i wonder what the title would look like? O.o

hi, during the holidays i have to learn and memorise 250 cheng2 yu3 :D yay my chinese will improve! too bad my oral was lousy, still feeling a twinge of sulkiness about that.

exams ended on tuesday. chem was a booboo, much worse than the mid-year paper. haha it will be miraculous if i manage a score like my mid-year one. it was pouring after that. luckily i remembered to bring an umbrella in the morning. went for sakae buffet with bug and we met some old friends! :D hahaha. i like the gyozas and tofu at sakae. we ate about 20 plates between us, i think. plus 1 bowl of udon. hahah pigs. then i bought my snoopy water bottle from mini toons (WHICH LEAKS, THANKS A LOT! WASTED $5.95 but at least the bottle is so cute). then we went to esplanade to find quartet scores (HAHAHA) and bug photocopied some stuff. yay thanks for going out with me bug <3

omg she also kept dragging me into optical shops to try on glasses/sunglasses and she was really having a BALL of a time because... i was very amusing, to her -.-" F7 F7 F7! i will never go along with your evil plans again, bug!

hmm i want to learn japanese and spanish and latin but i know i wouldn't be able to learn all 3 so i'll just learn jap, which i find rather... essential ;D

grrr must persuade my dad to make a trip down to osaka when we visit japan! he doesn't want to go there and says it's my fault for not wanting to go to universal studios last time. and expectantly, he grunted when i said i wanted to visit snoopy land. f7 lah sheesh -.-" but OSAKA IS A VERY IMPORTANT PLACE! bcos there is... :D he seems to have sublimed or smth. disappeared! grrr. -does a moaning myrtle.

after physics, i bought 3 harry potter books. haha so now i have 4. borders was having a discount, 3 books for the price of 2 so my mom let me buy them. i didn't remember order of the phoenix to be SO interesting last time. it's really brilliant how rowling weaves the plot together so intricately. like some parts of the book seem disjointed and random but in the end they all come together beautifully :) one thing bad about the harry potter series is that it's addictive! ah i can re-read the same part a few times. owell, better reading than playing games on the com. that way my parents won't nag as much cos reading is good and will aid me in my quest to become someone who can spring witty comebacks with a wide range of vocabulary like chaoying and ylang :)

syo on thursday was just F7 -.-" i bet margaret sexy kohkoh krunch teng agrees wholeheartedly! and everytime i see *** i feel so F7! she is damn irritating and a suck-up!

chaoying left on friday! boo. bye ): hope you liked the gummies! love you too! haha sent chao off at the airport and had dinner with bug after that. and she had the most fabulous idea of going to city hall to find dinner instead of hanging around the airport moaning about how everything would bust our budget ;D

exams are over. and i see that my chem grade is potentially going to bomb, which leaves me sorely disappointed with myself but nvm now.

we had 2 free blocks today so plus recess, that was 2.5 hours free. haha good for the people who didn't finish their bio journals like me :D so we all finished it in the free time we had yay. i'd like to thank VIVIEN RACHELKINGKOW GERMIE LIMIN BEIHAN for providing your kind assistance. hahaha.

double maths today but at least there wasn't philo. i wonder what the purpose of the special block is.

chaoying is leaving on friday! no more fantastic forays of choochoo anymore ): i am sad. when you come back, we will write a sequel!

2007-08-20T15:29:00.001+09:00

no more physics in 3 days' time! physics is LOSER. i love beano :D

monday was choir concert and english orals. the flowers we bought were, ahem, rather lovely ;D went for dinner with germ, ylang, yuhan and sam before concert and did you know that there's a pepper lunch outlet at the raffles city food court? haha it's so much cheaper there. whooohoo. chaoying's solo was good :) i especially loved her costume, which she so painstakingly rented from costume house. hahaha. she's really brave. YOU DA WOMAN! i completely embarrassed her after the concert singing my rendition of "you are the flower of my life!" which was also composed by yours truly. bet she was secretly thrilled.

tuesday was my mom's birthday (HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!) and national day rehearsal. omg our class was hilarious. hahahah. couldn't stop laughing when vivian siah threw the flag back into the box ;D we kept buying snacks to eat. omg fatttyyzzz. mom's bday dinner was at fish market. hoho the mushroom soup is a rip-off!!! never order that when you go there! i like the free flow of bread though. soft shell crab pasta was too much for my stomach to handle so my dad finished the pasta for me (: yay.

wednesday was eventful! our nat day performance was kinda messy but it was fun :D rachel's hairdo was... BIG. and hilarious too. she really looked the part! i liked 413's performance. hahaha. TAU SAR PIAH! they were super funny. went for lunch at yoshi with yuhan and ylang. i think it's my favourite place to eat lunch cos it's under $4. i sound so cheapo hahah. ylang is super cute. we saw cool black jeans and went to try them on. hahah. bought takopachi and went home after that.

i thought that national day parade was much better than previous years' parades. the organising comm did a really good job! and the machines made by DSTA are SO SO SO COOOOL ahhh i would really like the dsta scholarship but at the current rate im going (i.e like a snail) i will never get it. boooo.

im gonna finish studying history and ss soon, i hope >.< then i can start on physics and bio. sheesh. and chem. i think im really bad at redox and electrochemistry. so i'll go now. bye.

i love dbsk :D

ben & jerry's has this new flavour called TURTLE SOUP! something along those lines. and even though their ice-cream is expensive, i feel that their innovativeness has branded them as a really funky ice-cream chain cos the names of their flavours really are catchy. they've really outdone themselves! :D

this week was normal. choir concert next monday. yay.

there are interesting food places at bishan (: like yummy meepok which costs only $2.50! limin, jianghe and i went to s11 for lunch today and i ate that.

i realise that i just do homework and practice piano. i think it's time to start studying and finishing programme notes. sigh. byeee.

joanne is a MONSTER! a wonderful monster who entertains me every day. i am not a grinch :D

2007-07-31T23:13:00.001+09:00

beethoven's symphony no 7 is playing on my windows media player now.

i miss the march concert.

lunch today was overpriced but vivien paid $3 more than me xD

2007-07-29T01:02:00.000+09:00

history pt and ss test over. haha. i hope my box doesn't fall apart :/ and i hope i score well enough for both. anyway yday i ate lunch at 6.20pm! hah i am a winner! i thought i would have time in between school and piano to eat but i left school late and had to takeaway my mos shrimp burger. so i ate it cold and soggy, not crispy ): boooooo. but nvm the mos chicken rocks haha. i sound like a pig. and after tuition i still ate dinner at home, but not before dad and i bought carrot cake from the market. i saw the channel U yummy recommendation thingy at the stall so i persuaded my dad to buy it. it was only $2 anyway (:

anyway i shall post this cos it's especially heartwarming and makes me go all fuzzy inside. (no, it's not ryosuke saying he loves me. ylang, STOP LAUGHING) awwwwwwwz.

tmrw we are going for CIP and I WILL BE SEEING S.H.E (: their new album is cute, and i especially like the 2nd song which they sing with fahrenheit. i do NOTNOTNOT like fahrenheit but the musical arrangement of that song is just nice. nevertheless, insa is still the best and my favourite song :D ~~i will have them play it at my wedding and not some boring wedding song hahaha bcos it is lovely and appropriate!~~
