Happy Tiring Day

This whole week has been tiring. I haven't had time to properly rest or MUG at all. Sunday was like the most stressful day of 2005, ever. I had to collate everyone's sections of the WR and edit the typos, grammar mistakes and change font size + font spacing and everything. OMG. It was horrible... though I think I have to get used to it because I'm sure there'll be even more stressful times ahead. WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO PROJECT WORK?!! -_-" It's sooo killing me. Not to mention that we had to change our project taske and everything and (almost) start all the way from square one. I'm really, really glad that I have such determined and responsible PW mates. *hugs* you all rock.

Didn't really mug much on Monday. On Tuesday we went to YH's house to bake cookies, make jelly and a pie for our class party today, so how did I have time to mug?! Anyway, the cookies were nice. Cheryl is Wonder Woman. I dunno how her right arm has that much stamina to replace what a mixer is supposed to do and go at it for like a few hours (?). Her cooking is really something la. Compared to her, I have negative infinity knowledge of cooking and being a good housewife + that sort of thing. Hahaha...

The jelly was okay... except that Shavy managed to screw up the instructions straightaway =P Hahaha... and she decided to create blood-red jelly. Just kept adding more and more red + brown food colouring. eeeew. No wonder no one touched them today. Hahaha...

And Tammi and Meifengggg's pie was very very nice!!! ^^ we decided to keep it for ourselves though. =p There was too little for the class anyway and it wouldn't taste nice if we kept it for the next day... maybe next time!

Today was Teacher's Day... the whole day felt like one major PE lesson to me, though. Let me show you why.

1) ACES day dances in the morning, uuder the hot sun.
2) Sitting in the parade square and sweating buckets due to the hot sun.
3) Walking to Zhonghua in the hot sun. (-_-")
4) Walking back and forth across ZH school canteen at least four or five times (no hot sun, thankfully).
5) Watching the (rather boring) concert and sweating buckets because there were THAT many people around us congregating into a smalllllll area, and the hall still doesn't have air-conditioning. bleh.
6) Walking to the kopitiam across the road in the hot sun.
7) Eating seafood noodles (note: HOT SOUP) and sweating buckets.
8) Walking to the interchange to take 53 to J8 in the hot sun.
9) Walking from AMK MRT station all the way to AMK lib, ALL THE WAY IN THE HOT SUN.

Sigh. Figures, huh..

Anyway... had mixed feelings about my visit back to ZH. haha. I didn't regret going back. It was nice seeing some teachers again and I was very happy to see and chat with some old 4e4 classmates! Hee. And it was interesting to see how much everyone had changed. But I did look upon some faces with some kind of sinking feeling. Haaaaah. If you want the truth, I really didn't miss ZH all that much at all. Not just because of the ZH camp thing, it's just... well... well. Guess I really moved on a lot.

Hahaha..

Did I mention the school's decor sucks?! AND THE TOILETS ARE PAINTED VIOLET. OMG. TALK ABOUT VIOLET LOOO. The VP now has the toilets named after her. Hm.

I wanna play poool! Didn't really have the opportunity to just now. I knew that if I started playing, not only would the game last forever (cause I'm kanasai) but I wouldn't be able to put the thing down anyway. Haha. Left at the intended time. hee. And the hardcorers have never bowled before!!!! can't emphasize this enough. LOL.

(I am soo good at pretending huh!!! XP =P)



8/28/2005

Friendster is really really lame la. Suddenly I have zero friends!! Suddenly a person called Adeline doesn't exist! =P Haha. What a scary thought though - to actually have zero friends in the world. So here's a shout out to everyone: I LOVE YOU ALL! haha.

I decided to give up trying to do my homework. (The emphasis is on the word 'trying'. Haha.) I can do functions, but unfortunately I don't know how to sketch those weird reciprocal graphs. Sigh. So wasted. I can't do AP & GP. -_- I think I'll skip that whole section during promos. I definitely can't afford to lose any marks, but AP GP is as bad as, say, relative velocity or permutations or something. (Actually, I think AP GP IS FAR WORSE.) Haha.

One thing to do when you're bored: visit thefanlistings.org and look at how free people can be in their spare time. Or laugh yourself silly over the weird things people can come up with. Or snigger because there is a fanlisting to George W. Bush!!!!!!... haha, I'm being mildy biased here. Lol. Maybe it's because of that documentary Ms Darrell showed us abour Al Jazeera. I actually think that documentary was very interesting. It's the only interesting documentary I've ever, ever watched. Haha.

I mean, people create fanlistings for, um, songs!! Not that I'm complaining because I think some songs are deserving of fanlisting-status but it's amazing the extent of obsession some people have. Lol. I wonder why there's no fanlisting to Pastamania? or Mos Burger? Haha.

(MACDONALDS HAS 1937 FANS! eep. =X)

Sylvia bought a yukuta!!! I am SO jealous!!! =(

Short-term goal: work hard for my mp3 player. Hahaha...

I also wanna give a shout out to my PW mateees!!! Mel, Mari, Rach, Yh... you all rock! We'll definitely make this project a success! So let's keep on going. =D



8/26/2005

think of me

I love the Phantom of the Opera!! the songs, anyway. Hope Cheryl really gets around to burning them for me. Was in a Moulin Rouge reminicising mood just now and downloaded MR songs... The film version of Come What May is soooo pretty!!! =D

This week has been quite eventful... *shrugs* On Tues I finally passed standing broadjump!! WAHAHAHA. On Wed I ran my 2.4 km out-of-conditionly and managed to pass okay-ly... First of all... I must thank my dear MELISSA TAY (skank!) for turning up so early to support my running on that day!! *sniff* Haha... Next... I will wish JOSHUA TAY a very happy (belated?) birthday on my blog! (coincidence? Two Tays in the same paragraph. Haha.)

Reached home at 9 plus (nearly ten?) on Wednesday because a few of the hardcorers went out to celebrate Josh's birthday at Turf City. Wheehee. Had a really great time (all guilt and conscience at not mugging aside). =) I actually think the food is nice. Seoul Garden is better (because of the ice-cream, most probably) but it's so much more expensive... besides, the view we had was really nice! It was a purple and pink sunset!! (my two favourite colours! haha.) I used my phone to take a pic, but it turned out blue-ish. Awww...

Wish the rest had come along... I'm really starting to miss the old times. Something's definitely missing somewhere.

Thursday (yesterday!) was an okay day... it had its highs and lows. Main 'low' came with recieving my Maths paper. To my HORROR... I realized that my 5 marks were the result of two very stupid careless mistakes at the beginning of question 2 and 4. Which means that I could have gotten a 19
. -_-" I have no idea why this always happens to me, seriously. This is probably the 100th time I've said it, but I canNOT stop making careless mistakes. I have tried. I've been trying since primary ONE. What makes it all really sad is how my exam results will be determined by how drastic my careless mistakes are.

Sometimes I get so sick of myself...

Today... was quite an eventful day. Wahaha. Before Geog lecture (test, actually) me and a few of my shpastic classmates snuck into the empty lecture hall through the backdoor. Then we (okay, only some of us) sat in the seats, quietly waiting. William Yeo (YEO YEO YEO! WILLIAM! WHAT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME... don't mind me) walked in and started to set up his things... Then Jok gave a 'boo'... he turned and jumped! Wahahaha! It sent my class into hysterics. HAHA...

And during Econs... JEEVA PICKED ON ME. >.< First it was something about the speed of my reading (yes, I read like the Shinkansen, SO WHAT) and then it was about my volume and then it went on to how I was not making any eye contact. I think she was pms-ing that day... And to think my gang and I wrote a shpastic happy teacher's day note for her too! 'HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY, FROM THE SPACE KIDS'. Lol. I'm sure she will DEFINITELY have something to say about that.

Blah. End of update. (I'm hungry again!!!!...) I have no motivation to mug. How?



8/20/2005

wahahaha

I feel very happy now. =)

haha!

Was so happy that I headed over to baidu.com and downloaded 'I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING'. Yesh. The LION KING song. =D The Lion King is my FAVOURITE movie in the world!!! *squee!* I love Disney. Old Disney, that is... I don't like the recent animated ones, with the exception of Lilo and Stitch. ahahaha.

do do do... da da da da da da do do do...

I think I am going to fail Literature though. Miss Victor Ann Marguerite's assignment is night-marish. 'In your view, what and how do the comic elements contribute to your understanding of Measure for Measure?' Er... HELLO?!! There is nothing funny about M4M at all. And this is coming from someone who has been following in Euni-corn's footsteps. Even PERSUASION by Jane Austen is funnier. o_o

Or maybe I just don't understand the play enough.

Yay, I'm gonna fail!!...

(I will save up enough money to get the Lion King Special Edition DVD...!!!)



8/19/2005

I remembered my old dream.

I wanted to be a professional musician. A pianist. Sigh. That dream is too far away now.

A few days ago I was thinking about something. What would be the body part I'd least want to lose? I thought of my hands. Without my hands, I wouldn't be able to write, play the piano, play my guzheng and play badminton...

Then I thought, what if I lost my ears? I'd never be able to listen to my favourite music again...and music is my everything!... Or, what if I lost my eyes? *shudder* I wouldn't be able to see where the shuttlecock is headed when I play badminton... I'd have to rely on people to give me directions, maybe??... like this:

"The shuttlecock is coming towards you on the line 2i + 3j +4k + m(3i + 6j + 7k)!!!!!!!"

Hahahahahahaha!!

-_-" Okay, so obviously maths is driving me mad... Actually, school overall is driving me mad. I have tons of incomplete homework, when long ago I always finished them way before the deadline... Maybe it's due to the recent very demoralizing bout of tests but... I really can't find the energy or motivation to study. Everytime I sit down in front of my desk, I stone for a full fifteen minutes before I actually reach for my paper file and my pen. I will use the weekend to PIA. Since there is no hardcore gathering (to my knowledge, anyway.) I study better alone, anyway. Especially with the radio in front of me blasting my favourite songs and there's no one around me to give a damn...! hoho.


Haix.

Today, I realized, not for the first time, that blogs can be dangerous things. And if anyone has taken the time to observe, he or she would have realized that while I'm honest in my entries, I don't actually reveal half of what I'm thinking or feeling. So, if you're really curious, ask me personally. I won't say much here. As much as I'd love to, I will NOT bitch on my blog. (At least, not on THIS blog, anyway. And there is no clear boundary between bitching and not-bitching, actually. It all depends on the individual.)

I'll blog about the mafia hardcorers another time. =)

glutton me

You're a Relaxed Eater!

You understand that food is more than just about sustenance. Overall, you treat yourself well. Even if you are not always successful at it, having sit-down meals three times a day is your ideal. You also try to be regular with your portions and the times that you eat on a day-to-day basis. At first, this may sound like you have a common pattern. Your pattern is, in fact, extremely sensible, but unfortunately, not that common these days. You may find that you are one of the few people in your work place or community that actually sits down for three square meals. But when it comes to food, your priorities seem to be in order. You avoid eating as if it's a competitive race to the finish; rather you savor your meals and allow yourself the lost art of enjoying the eating experience itself. Taking the time to sit down and share a meal and conversation with family and friends signals that you do understand that it is important to have balance in your life.

But even you can eat differently when certain emotions trigger your natural eating pattern.


Urgh! I can't help not eating, k'. I'll get so frustrated when I see my friends around me NOT eating and me going, "I'm hungry." I'm hungry like 50 % of the time!!... and it only takes me three hours to get hungry again after a full meal, when certain people don't even take breakfast and tell me they don't feel like eating. I'm a freak! AAAAAH!!

(but I love eating!! oh, no.)

Met up with PW groupies today... we basically had a serious discussion in the morning and simply slacked off in the afternoon. I feel so bad today! I barely did ANY work... and tomorrow I'll be occupied in the morning because of church and in the afternoon cause of, yes, PW again... I need that A for PW. Hopefully I won't be spending too much time on PW for nothing. I won't even mind if it's all at the expense of my THREE common tests next week. (note: common tests I didn't even know about until FRIDAY. I don't get it. How come I don't hear anything even when I'm not sleeping in class?! Unless stoning = sleeping? But I never heard ANYTHING about a Geog test. I mean ANYTHING. And I happen to take note of William Yeo more than other teachers too. Cause he cracks me up (let's just say I'm weird?). Maybe he speaks too fast and I can't catch him. Ha, ha, ha.)

I don't feel like doing any work! Yes, I'm still deeply in holiday mode. I don't get it. Where did my drive go to? Ha, ha. Right now the only thing I feel like doing it *horrors* Maths - but I don't have a TYS. I think I'll go get one on Monday (though my test is on Tues). I am SO going to ace it with flying colours. -_-"

Visited Catholic High on Friday to survey the students for PW... my first time in an all-boys school! AHAHA. From what I heard from Marilyn and Mel, RI guys appear to be SNOBS and a lot more stand-offish as compared to Cat High guys. (No offence there.) Sigh. At least the SCHOOL has to be very pretty, though... Wonder how my two RI cousins would react if a bunch of girls tackled them with a stack of survey forms...

Marilyn is super cute la. Girl, you worry too much... (but you would make a great saleswoman, haha!!)



8/11/2005

yoghurt, curd, cream, cheese and butter

Hello all! I finally decided to blog!... I think I am really a fan of that song now. 'I Am Cow'. It ish too funny. Hahaha. Especially when the girls of Hardcore decide to learn the lyrics and annoy everyone by singing it in squeeeeeeaky high voices. Hohoho. We even have a recording of our version in my handphone now. Along with 'COW', we also sang the famous NY school song and one of the famous-est and most *patriotic* National Day songs. Wahaha! Too bad the file type is .amr or something. Which means I can't open it on my comp, or convert it to other formats and let you all hear it or anything. Sad, because Euni's 'painful evil laughter' thingy is uberly funny too... Noise pollution at its highest extent. I have no idea why we didn't get chased out by the poor residents of Bishan 8 Condominium...

Haha... 9/8/05... this year's National Day celebration has to be one of my most fun ones ever... I'm so glad we had the barbecue after all. ^^ Too bad some of the hardcorers couldn't make it. -_-" *glares specifically at Maggggg =P*

Shockingly, big-eater me didn't eat much that night! Let's make a list!! (why do I love lists?)
- two sotong balls
- 1/5 of a sausage
- 2 (small) helpings of my ma's meeeee
- two marshmallows

That's it. o.o No wonder I went home hungry. I regret not trying any chicken wings, but I think that if I did, I would be suffering from stomach upsets now.

Playing badminton with Von is tiring (cause we make each other run all over the court).. and we are both equally kns. Wahaha. Singing with Ade and Shannen is demoralizing!! ... haha.

I ponned afternoon PE again today!1! -_-" This means that, out of four sessions, I only turned up for one. Ms Ong is SO going to killlll me. I wonder when the retests are. Think I am going to fail the dumb broadjump shit again. BUT I DON'T WANT TOOOO!!!! -_-" Worst of all, I have to run 2.4km again. Something is seriously wrong with NY's system. In fact, there's something wrong with ALL of NY's systems. Sometimes I really, really ask myself why I'm even here. Blah, I have to live with it for another year and a half, though. Might as well accept you can never get both sides of the deal - though it seems NY is even less perfect than almost all the other JCs. Whatever.

And I ACTUALLY KNEW TO DO THE OPEN BOOK TEST ON VECTORS TODAY. (When some didn't.) I am SO pro! Am proud of myself. Wahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



8/08/2005

ugh.

I'm pissed! So pissed! ANd I have this feeling that a lot of people now are pissed, too, or are on the way to becoming pissed. Yay, everyone's pissed. So NOT what I expected. Things are just so NOT turning out the way we all wanted them to be.

Just came back from watching Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. Should be all *high* now but my good mood had to go and be spoilt. -_-" I won't say what. It's no one's fault, actually. Just me.

And I'm so sick of lying and of making things up to save myself. I am SO sick.



8/07/2005

still bored!!

A few hardcorers came over for study group yesterday.

The first thing I said when I opened the door was, "Hello, I'm bored."

The first thing that Vinny said was, "You still have a lot of hair."

-_-"

Afterwards, we were sitting at the table, TRYING to do homework, and then...

VINNY: Silence is golden.
(...pause...)
EUNI & ME: *eyes meet* *radiation* *in unison* XIAO JIIIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!
EVERYONE: *peng*

Then we went to play badminton... which was quite a traumatising experience, too, because Vinny tried to be very dramatic in everything he did...

On Friday Von dragged me to play pool and I trashed her!!! 3/3!!! hohoho!!! (because she hit in the black ball on all 3 tries!! It takes skill not to ever hit it in, kay? AHAHAHAHAHA...)

I'm still very bored... But I'm proud to say that I have sort of finished Maths 9233 tutorial 13!! Sigh. I have no idea why I'm still carrying on. At least I made a promise to myself to work harder this time. Cause come to think of it, I never really gave myself a chance ever since that dumb common test a few months ago.
