feeding mosquitoes

I tell you, I've NEVER, EVER hated mosquitoes this much. I swear that I wouldn't mind living in Pulau Ubin at all - IF the mosquitoes aren't, like, everywhere. -_- It's really cooling in some places... like beside those prawn ponds... It's really such a pity that there aren't that many residents there anymore. 0nly like 60 remain and they're all senior citizens. They 1) don't make a living at all and just lurk around the house or 2) go to the mainland to work. Those that work at the shops usually come from Malaysia or the mainland. Some staying in the houses are only there for the weekend. Saaaad.

Anyway, we spent a really tiring three hours (or so) at PU, trying to do some PW research... I know, we're kiasu... I'm not too sure whether our project is feasible anymore. We went on foot throughout and had quite a few run-ins with NY PE teachers / councillors, but they didn't seem to recognise us at all...

We ended off eating seafood (yay!) and when we got back to the mainland, it was raining HORRIBLY... my shoes were soaked right through and I felt so disgusting that I just wanted to go home and bathe. Somehow I got dragged to Changi Airport, though... I'm not really sure that I regret following Shavy, YH, Cheryl, Mel and Joon Yee there, because it was quite fun... After all, I LOVE Changi Airport and planes in general!! (The last time I took a plane was eight years ago!!) Hee... I got pushed around in a trolley! WAHAHAHA!

Um... and we took the Skytrain like eight or so times for the fun of it... -_-" And we took photos with pilots and air stewardesses! Wahaha! I should upload the pics once I figure out how to with my phone...

Then something happened to us gals which made us feel very cheated... We were all heading home from Changi Airport. Joon Yee got off the train at Tanah Merah. We thought we were supposed to stay on - but the train stopped for a while and went back to EXPO. O_O We thought JY played a prank on us. So the pissed Shavy called him - and we realized that JY himself made a mistake and we were supposed to be in opposite locations. =P So we took the train BACK to Tanah Merah (wasting ten minutes or so) and when the train (to City Hall) finally came, we went in. A few seconds later, Mel rushed out and headed back to the train (heading for EXPO). We thought she'd left something behind in that train and we rushed out to! The train behind us headed for City Hall, and when we caught up with Mel, we realized that she HADN'T left something behind, she was just CATCHING UP WITH HER COUSIN. Shavy, YH, Cheryl and I totally peng-ed...

So yeah. We spent more than half an hour just reverting between Changi Airport and Tanah Merah. -_-"

On the way home Shavy, YH, Cheryl and I played big two... I didn't even win a single game (but I was never the big loser too... hahaha!) As the train was heading towards TPY everyone was staring at us... like we were gambling addicts... XDDD

Yesterday (SAT!) was fun... Only Cheeki, Vin, Labbit, Mag and Euni came over but we watched Naruto! Wahaha! I luff the Japanese voices *SASUKE=SEXY*! We have successfully made Euni and Mag hooked on Naruto... and hey! I DID manage to do work that afternoon... I finished my Chinese assignment. GO MEEEEE.

'Congratulations, you're responsible for it.'

LYE (Lai?) DRIVES ME NUTS. Lol. He's our camp OIC or something. I think he's quite a nice person in some ways, but he OVER-REACTS. -_- When I was going through Trust Fall and standing on some six/seven stacked-up chairs, there he was, screaming at everyone. -_- What a way to help me relax. At least I didn't find Trust Fall scary anyway. It was quite fun, in fact... I think it would be scarier if there I wasn't blindfolded because when you're blindfolded, you can see the things falling past you... if you know what I mean... hehe... Anyway... those things DO happen even if you laugh and say they don't... Accidents do happen, like what happened today for the Science faculty, I suppose. So the trust has to be there, right from the beginning. *now has no idea about what she's rambling about*

I think the second day of the camp was excellent. I think you could take something away from the camp, IF you give it the chance, that is. The second day really, really helped to bond 05A2 together. I was really touched at a lot of points... and I can safely say I feel much more at ease with my new class and I love my classmates a lot more now. Yay! *does the vinny clap* Haha... YH was like overflowing with tears after they played this bunch of friendship songs... Btw... I was really quite touched when she picked me for her buddy. Hee... Our facilitators rocked, too. They were quite patient with me, even though I seemed autistic through all those sharing sessions. Haha...

Yesterday the gals from my class came over to have a movie marathon. It was quite sad, cause Cheryl's version of Howl's Moving Castle was pirated and horrible... We had to give up watching it halfway. T_T HOOOOWLL... *squee* Haha. We watched Phantom of the Opera. It was an... OKAY movie. I think the best part was the music, and that was it... I've heard the book is in many ways much better. Should borrow from my pal or something. Hm.

Oh, and we watched Mononoke Hime!! SQUEE! Like finally! It was a great movie, really. The plot was awesome, the graphics were beautiful, and the music was just... spellbinding? Hee... I must really watch it again...

Okie... today was a good and bad day. Good because I got to hang out with hardcorers again! Mwahahaha. In the morning I went to school to hand up the dumb Econs assignment. Little did I realize that I would be in store for (why am I sounding like Cheeki here?!) EXERCISE! Haha... I was forced to run up and down stairs and across school. First to locate the hardcorers, then to meet up with PW mates, then to find my dumb econs assignment which was supposedly lost but was actually with Yinghui all the while... -_-" Haha... Then... something happened to me (not just me, but, well) that... hasn't happened to me since PRIMARY SCHOOL. Repeat, PRIMARY SCHOOL. We all don't know what to do now. Haha. My blog is not a safe place. So I shall not elaborate on it here.

The hardcorers wanted to play pool (-_-") and so I had to go to Eunice's house to change. I wore one of her very schweet long-sleeved blouses and her skirt! And when Joshua saw me he was like, "Er, did you go home to change? Because I seriously can't see Eunice in that lah..." Hahaha... er... supposedly I look like a Japanese schoolgirl in that outfit! Yeah! A mid-centric Japanese schoolgirl tourist! Er yeah... because Vinny striding alongside us was carrying this HUGE backpack. So we looked like tourists. Hehe.

I KNOW HOW TO READ POOL! WHEEEE! GO ME! Haha! But it's a super-boring game to watch...

Labbit taught me how to pronounce 'lingerie' properly. Fwine lah! FWINE LAH! =P

Back hom my mom reprimanded me a little... blah... I don't wanna talk about it... -_- She should stop calling me an 'ah lian'... Ah lians aren't hated by people for supposedly going home to mug everyday and worrying about homework... (actually, I mug because 1) it's good for my future 2) it pays to be consistent since I am NOT a cheonger, 3) I HATE my mom picking on me 4) I will feel better having fun if I know I've done my homework. Go me, the model Singaporean student. HAHA. *sticks tongue out*

I have this funny feeling that I will change my blogskin (again) soon...

camp-day!

Haha... I realized that my class is really a very nice class... if only I could click better with some of the people there... the problem is, it's in my nature to be a little unable to relate to some of them. *shrugs* I'm not a high 'I', after all. It's not that I'm not willing to to talk to them or I'm antisocial (FOR GOODNESS'S SAKE) or anything. But I really am a lot more comfortable with the hardcore gangers. Was happy when I met up with them after the whole thing today. (Aileen pangseh-ed me! >:( )

...Let me digress... *cough*

(INUYASHA EP. #56!! OMG!! HE'S HOLDING HER HAND! AAAAAH! *SQUEE!* *MIROSAN* )

er... not that I've never watched that episode before or read about it in the manga, but... hee.

Hahaha. Anyway today we had the level camp. I can't say it didn't help me AT ALL. There was one segment where we had to stand on tables and give a speech for 1 min, and halfway through the audience is supposed to follow instructions and behave like retards or be a rowdy crowd, for example. Sway-edly, I got the rowdy crowd one. I really CAN'T handle a noisy audience. I think it's in my sensitive nature, because I'll start wondering - er, wondering stuff. (I don't know why I get so affected when people think negatively, I just am. Sometimes I hate myself.) Anyway, that segment was quite fun. I think all of you are going like 'WHOA' and O_O that I said that, but it WAS fun. For one, I like standing on tables (it's the childish me). I like high places. And I don't think it was at all that scary because like YH mentioned, you can look around at the spaces around you, while you're in a group, you see everyone's faces close up and they're staring at you, like they're closing in on you. *shrugs* Maybe I'm weird.

The most fun part was probably the one where we had to go around and find people we didn't know to talk to. For one, the music was shpastic. =P For another, most of us were just fooling arouud and pairing off with people we knew. Hahaha... Rach and I did find someone unfamiliar to make friends with, though...

As for the rest, well... it was boring... I did feel like skipping tomorrow, but for the sake of my class I suppose I should turn up. Besides, everytime I come to school it's one more opportunity to see the hardcorers! Haha!

Saturday was fun... We went to hang out at Eunice's home again. (I think her house is kewl. It's a little more spacious than mine.) Just sitting and chatting with hardcorers is really all that I can ask for. We watched Naruto also. Haha. I luff Naruto! And Naruto's voice is kewl. Too bad I didn't get to see much of my Shika... haha... anyway, I like Naruto for its character development, character relationships and storyline. I no like the dumb fighting scenes. Most of them, anyway.

Um... I told my mom I got a D for Literature, and she was like, 'SEE, I KNEW YOU WERE NOT CUT OUT FOR JC EDUCATION.' Blah. Sometimes I understand how Aileen feels. Sometimes.

Now watching 100% Senorita... does anyone have the DVD or anything? It looks really interesting... I wish I had the time to actually catch it on a regular basis :(

I feel like my thoughts and memories and whatever I want to say are all jumbled up... hm.

oh, get that song out of my head.

I suddenly realized that even now, when I'm getting along great with my new clique, and made the great decision of giving up on maths, I still, still, STILL, miss the old 05A1 very badly. I really miss those days of ponning lessons and going out for roti prata... I miss sitting in peng's class and crapping and him not even giving a damn... I miss us heading over to awful-boring-old J8 every other day... I miss our kbox sessions... but I think most of all I miss the 'NY' us... the 'us' that lurked around in school, stoned during lessons and played bingo under Mrs Chua's eye... I'm reminded of us everytime I sit in lesson and tell myself that I must PAY ATTENTION now and everytime I turn to someone to crap with, only to find that everyone is already drained and sian-ed from the lesson.

T_T

Anyway, since I'm so bored, I shall compile a list of my favourite Jay Chou songs.

龙卷风
爸我回来了
忍者
双截棍
晴天
双刀
简单爱
乱舞春秋
搁浅
可爱女人


yay. =) See, this is how bored I get when I have to wait for hardcore- ganagers. (Why is it that whenever I end my classes late, my friends get to be dismissed early? And the other way round too? Bah. The world is not fair. )

My fingers are numbing...

and... I wanna watch the Initial D movie and squee at my idol and the cutest guy on planet earth with my clique... wahaha... we are such a *hua chi* bunch, that we are. ^_^

Met up with my hubby just now... am happy ^_^ Haven't talked with her for ages and ages... so good that there's no tension or hard feelings between us, really. The guzheng issue has really been making things not-so-fun for us anymore. Am extra-happy because I got back my long-lost necklace!!!

=)

Hey, peeps... thanks for cheering me up today ^^ And sorry for making you all put up with me... I really really appreciate it! I promise I'll hit 172cm by August and do you all proud! Haha... We'll show them, Melly! Make the dumb+evil+cruel PE teachers choke on our dust! YEAH!!

Hee... Cheryl... please remember to bring Brotherhood + HOWL on Friday. I'm practically pining away for them both. Haha!

Eunice, I'm so glad you're back and well! *huggles* It's just not the same without youuu!

Shannen, my dear... please don't feel that you're evil anymore... and I shall PINCH your cheeks the moment you come back tomorrow. Wahahahaha!

Sweez, glad to see that you're okay and smiling... David, please don't worry too much about your hair. Lol. =P

For the first time EVER, Maths tutorial was fun. Because I was crapping away with Aileen and Marilyn. And I was sitting right in the first row directly in front of Miss Tian. Go meee. I tell you, if Miss Tian is oxygen to Mervy, then actually Miss Tian is also a gas to Aileen. Laughing gas. Too bad it has no chemical formula. Sigh. And they say we are technologically advanced.

... sorry for being lame.

Signing off... because I don't know what else to crap about... hm.

It's been a horrible week.

Tests, tests and more tests... well, actually, I'm exagerrating quite a bit. I only had three tests this week - but all three were horrible. Especially the Mathematics 9233 one... because of it, I've gotten so demoralized. I am SERIOUSLY considering dropping Mathematics. Actually, I've been considering it for a long time. That's why I never got around to buying the ten-year series - because I wasn't sure if I could make it. I can't make any effort to pay attention in lectures, and I realize I DON'T understand anyway. Thanks a lot, Ms Teng. (And I don't particularly care just who's reading my blog. Am too tired to care, honestly.) I can't catch up very well with first-three-mths work, and I still make the same old dumb careless mistakes.

I am just SO not cut-out for Maths.

I wonder how I got that A2. (But seriously... the O level 2004 paper was easy. Not the prelim paper. Not any other Math exam paper.)

I'm not giving up yet... although I realy am too tired and demoralized to carry on. I can't even bothered to do my tutorials... and ... and... actually I've more or less confirmed about the fact that I'm dropping Maths. Just had a talk with my dad, and I think I really don't have THAT much interest for it.

To tell the truth, I took Maths mainly because 1) okay, I got A2 for both E/A maths during O Lvl, 2) I sorta enjoy doing Maths, when I'm not making careless mistakes, and because it's the only subject which I can study while listening to music to, and 3) I wanted to be studying the same things with the hardcore-gangers. Haha... what a lame reason, but...

anyway...

DIE, NY PE DEPARTMENT. Blaaaarrrrrrgh.

(Yes, I couldn't get that D for Standing Broadjump. Oh, joy.)

Only two things made me happy this week. I got an A for Economics. Yay. I finally inherited one part of my daddy's multi-talented genes. (I don't think this A grade can be sustained, though... I don't understand the latest topic at ALL. What on earth is happening to me? I can't keep up.) The second thing concerns Guzheng. I adore NY guzheng now. I luff my lil' guzheng family. I have a very cute husband (SHUYI!), a very lovable maid (Serene aka Maria aka Sophia), a very cute mom (Hsiang Ling), a very cute 'jie' (who had an *cough* incestuous affair with me) referred to as Huang Weiyu and two funny grandparents (Yi Heng and Yi Liang!!). Haha! And now I have a kid too! Huilin!! hee...

And I still have all this homework! Urgh! And my final PI draft! *pulls out hair* Bleh. 'SCOPE TOO NARROW'. GAD. =XP

A day of tragedy. AAAAAAH!!!!!!

THE RADIO ATE MY CD!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a way to spoil my awesome mood! I just came home from pit-stopping with the hardcore-gangers and from breaking my record at running 2.4km!!! (Not a very impressive record, but, hey, I improved!!)

I really want someone to piece apart that damned radio!! I suspect that there will be TWO, not just ONE CD in it. One of my most favourite CDs went missing a few months ago. I think that radio ate it too!! @_@ I'll never, EVER trust hi-fi systems again! Those that can you can store up to three CDs in!! Urgh!

...

*mourning death of CD*

Actually... I haven't given up hope yet.... BLAH! DIE, YOU MONSTER RADIO ~~~~~

On a side-note... I got traumatised today during GP lecture. That music video by Marilyn - er, Marilyn Manson is SCARY. And that's an understatement. It's haunting. HORRRRIBLE. -_- It's almost like watching a horror movie (but then again, I've never seen a horror movie.) Extremely disturbing, it is...

Oh... Saturday was fun! We went to Eunice's house for a change... Eunice's house is nice! Good studying environment, too... well, if you don't count Vinny coming in to distract us with his awful 3310 Nokia ringtones (at full blast) and telling us stories about Von and abusing Euny's stuffed toys. Haha... and I finally got to go Tenchi at AMK Central!! Super yay!! That place is really, really kewl. Wahahaha.

Spit it out, you dumb radio. *cries*

Today is a day full of tragedy.

betrayed

Today we did more of the personality tests thingies at school today. I can safely say I like doing stupid personality tests. But I don't really like the results because some of them don't necessarily fit me. I was trying to be honest while answering the questions, you know. I don't know how many people can actually admit to that. =P

Anyway! I'm mostly a S. Yay! Most Umoja people are mostly S too. Wahaha. BUT almost everyone I know is an Advisor. Why am I (and Marilyn) the only Advocate? -_- I must be weird or something. Advocate = S C I. Von asked me if I have a split personality. Know what? I think I do. o_o

BTW, I have recieved many many bad news over the past few days. My previous Guzheng instructor from ZH has resigned. Not only did she resign from our school, she resigned from the rest of her four secondary schools as well. She was really upset over the Guzheng SYF results. The more I think about it, the more I want to hurt the judges. Know something? EVERYONE said ZH Guzheng should have gotten a Gold for sure. Seriously, I want to go up to the judges and chuck something in their ears. I'll help them perform ear surgery. They need to wash out some stuff inside. I get so pissed just thinking about it. And because of this, my ol instructor called it quits. Sh*T.

OMG.

AND something else. Miss GZ Instructor of NYJC (I really should give her a shorter nickname) is quitting, too. She says the distance from goodness-knows-where to NY is TOO FAR. OMG. What kind of excuse is that?! And just when we were actually starting to like her a little, little bit too. We visited her house on Monday and we had an okay chat with her while listening to the recordings of the gz performances at the SYF competitions. Yes, I'm sad. And I feel betrayed.

Blahhhh.

I can't pass my standard broad jump. HELLLLLP. How can I be declared physically unfit just because I can't pass this section?!?!?! I really wanna skip those dumb afternoon PE sessions...

And those tests. I'm starting to feel the pressure of taking four As. Lord, please help me pass my Maths test on Tues. @_@

05A2 is a nice class. Really. And I like it. Especially my clique. XD

But you hardcore gangers still make my daaayyy. I ish so happy whenever I see you all. ^_^ ^_^ Lalala.

...signing off...

I thought I should update.

Haha, I think I'll have to update before Eunice or Von posts that my blog is rotting. Again.

Anyway. I didn't have a great week. Actually, I have two highlights everyday. The first highlight is sitting in the car and listening to the radio. The second is getting to see 05A1 peeps. Hee hee. But the highlight of this week was going for the prize-giving ceremony in my secondary school. At first I dreaded it because it was gonna be boring and the hall is NOT air-conditioned. But after that I realized I would have regretted it. Because we got to see our ol' Guzheng family members again. Kinda like a reunion. (You know, for the Colours Award, only a few members from each CCA are selected to take the award, right? But for Guzheng, somehow EVERY member got the award. Damn paiseh. Hee.)

Yep, and we went to listen to the current ZH guzheng members play in the canteen... They played their SYF songs. They were better than NYJC and ZH 2003 guzheng. They were GOLD standard. I think the judge must have a screw loose. Or a ear loose. Or just a freakingly horrible and biased attitude. Just because they didn't use any percussion, they couldn't get a gold? HELLO? What kind of a world is this?

Anyway. *pause* I luff my GZ juniors. They're so cute and spunky. XD They're not as quiet and dull as us seniors, for some reason. Wahahaha. Then they let three of us seniors (including poor me) 'throw face' by taking their places and playing OUR old SYF song. o.o And they cheered and clapped so loudly that the whole canteen grew silent. OMG. So embarassing. XD But our juniors are really so cute. ANd supportive.

Haha.

I really wanna get a tote bag too. I'm pissed, Mel. Hahahahaha.

Had study group again yesterday. This time, the numbers were reduced by half... it was still fun, though. We switched on the comp specially to watch Happy Tree Friends and Stick Death. Yinghui was traumatised. Hoho. I think the most shocking one is the 'Snip Snip Hooray' one. OMG.... and it actually IS something that could happen. Help meeee.

Then after that we switched to playing with poker cards.. I tell you, Hearts is the most thrilling card game EVER. Hee. It was so fun.

I hate studying, people. I wasted last night. All I did was write down the definitions of some economics terms. Baaaad.
