Finally~! A post!

Ok before the UK trip, SPIDERMAN 3. Went to watch it with Fausty on Wednesday yay! The plot was ok, the characters were more rounded, not as flat as before, although Venom's character was literally 2D... >_< So Fausty came over to my house to change and such before heading to PS for the 4pm show. Spent like around 45mins or so 'dilly-dallying' inclusive of me trying to pick what outfit I should wear... And finally Fausty convinced me to put on a skirt. -_-||| I guess it was ok since she wore short shorts. ^^ Whahahaha! I was like clad in dark colours and she wore clothes the colours of summer... Right. Nice contrast. Worse, my skin is more tanned than hers hehe... Emo kid eh. I'd rather the word GOTH. ^^ Like my black black black nails now! ^^ Yay! So we went to DG MRT station and I was trying to trick Fausty into getting off at Somerset but sigh, it didn't work! And she had no idea PS had a GV cinema O_o... I wonder how was she going to get there today if we weren't watching movies there... Got the tickets and nice seats since the cinema was barely a quarter filled hehe... I WANNA WATCH PIRATES! T_T Fausty, Jia, Irene (Right? Yes, I think so) are watching it today! *sniff* Nevermind! I shall find someone else to go with :D! I still can't get used to Spiderman being such a nerd! I mean hello... The hair the clothes the style... >_< He pulled off the word 'nerd' quite well! Although I almost wanted to smash my head into the nachos and cheese both of us were sharing whenever he let fame get into his head and totally forgot about MJ's feelings... >_< Poor girl. The problems of dating a superhero. Sheesh. Worse, I couldn't believe HARRY DIED. T_____T! I was like OMG NO! HE CANNOT DIE! I mean out of all the characters in the film, me like Harry *sheepish*. Aside from him being the best looking in the film, he sacrificed himself for that stupid Peter Parker who DISFIGURED his face! T_____T! *xin tong* I didn't really like it when Spiderman turned 'dark' and all, he was just being such an as- I mean rearend... Argh. Him acting cool with all the lame moves? They just don't cut out... -_-||| He didn't even realised how the ladies whom he thought were falling head over heels for him, were like giving him the 'omg, stay hell away from me' look! Typical nerd... And him hurting MJ's feelings T_T. ARGH HARRY WHY MUST YOU DIE!!! LET THAT STUPID SPIDEY DIE! T_T
Ok, enough ranting... *harryyyyy T_T* The UK trip! I was just speaking to my penpal on Tuesday about my UK trip, since it's been like forever since I had last spoken to her. So I told her about the places I will be going along with my flight details since I was practically BEGGING her to meet me at the airport so I could hand her some goodies from Singapore hehe. And I couldn't believe it when she told me she would! She did not have school for that week so she bugged her mum to meet me at the airport omg! I can't believe it! I am finally meeting my penpal for like 6 years! Totally wicked! And it amazes me how long we had been friends! I could still remember when I did her first forum set for her lolz... Which looked like crap to me now... My graphics did improve a heck lot and so did hers, especially her drawings! I mean she IS taking arts and theatre in her school now lolz... I can't wait to see her! Photos for memories too! And the next step is to force her to come to Singapore so that I can bug her or something... ^^;; I will be her personal (cynical too) tour guide of 'sunny' Singapore! I am not too good with cold and hers is heat lolz so both of us need some getting used to when we reach each other's countries. Leaving soon for UK though, on 29th to the 8th yay! I can't wait! Wait... I can, I wanna stay in my current house longer... I mean I LOVE IT HERE! Ok I shan't complain about her inconvinient frikking Bukit Timah is. OMG. No MRT, I will die. And I can't walk to Orchard. This sucks. Ok, no more ranting about it before I get hell scolded by my parents again and me pulling a long face for the rest of the week. DAMN ECONOMY, or rather DAMN HOUSE PRICES, I CURSE THEM TO FALL TO GROUND 0 IN THE NEXT HALF A YEAR. I don't care, I won't make a loss that's for sure. -_-||| Ok great, I shan't be so evil and self-centred. Like I even care in the first place. Human nature = selfish. Period.
Shall talk more about the boring environmental sabbaticals another day... I have pictures to post too! A string of photos of my foot healing and a hell lot of Sungei Buloh! Some interesting too hehe. Until then~

More ouchies.
|| Time: 10:31 a.m. || Date: Thursday, May 10, 2007||
Say hello to my best buddies! And my foot is nicely bandaged is it not?
More images later whahaha! Memories of the first time moi sprained an ankle... Anyway, almost fell in the lift leading to the doc's clinic, since the crutches were too short for me, so I had to bend a heck lot to make sure it supported me properly. My mum was like what the hell happened?! -_-||| I told her I lost balance and got a scolding... Sigh. Hopped to the clinic and plopped down happily onto the large sofa there. Since it was a weekday and mine was like one of the first appointments of the day, no one else was there to snatch my seat! Waited for a while and the assistent, Janet was like how did you sprain it? So for the umpteenth time, I related my 'tragedy' to her. So she assisted me to the room closest to the waiting area where I waited for the doctor to come. After like 5 minutes of fidgeting since I couldn't lie down without my ankle feeling uncomfortable, the doctor entered. So once more I told him what happened and he undressed my bandage and accidentally pulled too hard since it was stuck so ouchies... I was like OMGWTFBBQ when I saw my ankle. It was just starting to swell when Zijia bandaged it for me yesterday, and now the ankle bone area had swell up to twice it's original size and the area just above and below the ankle joint had a huge bruise. It looked super painful, and it was super painful... He was like when did you say this happened? I was like yesterday... He looked at the sprain and was like, it's quite bad... For a one day old injury, there is a lot of internal bleeding. I was like O_O!!!!!! Internal bleeding?! He took this fork thingum which works on vibrations (can't remember the name for it) to scan my bone for any fractures. Thank god there was none or byebye UK trip. *phew* So after rubbing it to see the area of injury, he told me I tore my ligament... T_T. No wonder it hurt so badly. And the other side of my ankle was swollen as well argh, no wonder I couldn't place it on any position which felt comfortable! That made me wake up at least 5 times the night before... Not to mention I couldn't put on any socks since it hurt too much... So he told me he was going to give me this ice therapy thingum before he will come in again to rub my ankle... He warned me the latter would hurt like crap so I was like *gulps*. The ice therapy was nice, the machine gently massaged the sprain and a large ice pack was wrapped around my ankle, super comfortable! Sadly it lasted for only 15 minutes... Then the doctor came in with my mum (who just finished her neck massage treatment) and he explained to my mum what happened. So it was due to me running at full speed, along with the person who crashed into me who was also running at full speed, which caused the injury to be this bad. F=ma (Force = Mass x Acceleration) Since I am rather heavy as well hehe. So he started to rub my ankle and it was fine at first, with the pain slowly increasing. It was bearable for the first 2 minutes but he went on to rub the exact spot my ligament was torn at and I was like OUCH. So after every 5 minutes of rubbing that area or so I had to ask him to sopt for a while. He went on to chat with my mum and me to try get my mind off the pain which did help a little. By the time he was done rubbing, I realised the swelling had went down by at least 50% and I could put SLIGHT pressure on it without wincing in pain. So I realised he rubbed the main bulk of the blood accumulated at the spot of injury upwards so when I put pressure onto my foot, the blood could move upwards and not just expand at that area and push against all my nerves and cause a hell lot of pain. So I was told to put my foot into ICE twice a day and return to the clinic on Friday to see how it's healing up. I got the rest of the week off school and the other MCs as well haha. Then I thanked him and hopped back out to the lift and downstairs to the taxi stand, this time careful not to fall. A hell lot of people stared at me since I did not have any more bandages on and the huge bruises were like neon signs flashing against my skin... Mum went to the pharmacy to get an ice pack for me to wrap my foot in if I did not need the ice torture anymore. So took a cab, went home and yeap, end of story. It was a lot easier to bathe this time since I could actually stand (sort of but like 80% of my body's weight had to be place on my right foot still) and I took my usual 30 mins to finish bathing! Yay! But my right thigh and arms were killing me, mainly my upper thigh and biceps... Oh well, weight training, increased to 2.8 times the normal weights I do for my arms! *le gasps*
After taking off the bandages...
Ice therapy! Comfy!
After seeing the doc... Lesser swelling!
Ok now for today. Nothing much happened yet. Just that I went through my first round of ice torture since my dad didn't buy ice home the night before... Woke up today with a MASSIVE aching in my ankle... I probably twisted it the wrong way around when I was sleeping... No matter which position I placed it, the pain would not go away! So I had to bear with it while washing up and eating breakfast... After which my mum, who was in a bad mood, dumped ice into a pail and made me put my foot into it. At first I could only put my foot ON TOP of the ice since she put them in before my foot went in, so my dad was like no, you do it this way! And he made my mum take out all the ice (making her even more in a bad mood since they just had an argument) and made me place my foot in first before piling ice ON and beside my foot. I was terrified that the weight of the ice would kill me, but surprisingly that was the least of my worries. The cold was excruciating. I could feel the heat from my ankle 'diffusing' into the ice and coolness took it's place. The pain, the agony, the cold! It was much much worse than what I had in mind. Knowing that I am not too much of a fan of the cold, this was quite a feat for me. -_-||| So the first 5 minutes were PAINFUL, I felt like punching someone or something HARD when my foot started to ache badly. It was like tiny inflamed needles piercing into my flesh and bone, driving themselves deeper and deeper... Ouch. My dad was like stares at me for two minutes before leaving for the airport on another business trip again. He must have thought I was crazy by gripping the bar-counter thingum super tightly during those few minutes... After the first third of the torture, it felt much better. Must have been because my foot was starting to numb. Still whenever I shifted fallen ice back to cover my wound, it hurts like crazy. After fifteen minutes, I did rotational exercises for my ankle to try gain a bit of mobility back to it. Sadly since my left foot is my more flexible foot... Now it couldn't even do a full one eighty degrees turn! So I tried writing the alphabets using my foot (doctor's orders, I swear!) and my mum went to take the ice out and washed the pail while I hopped back to my room. It was nice when my foot was still numb since there was 0 pain, but now that it had started to 'thaw', the pain is back and it hurts more because of the exercise... Sigh. Did I mention the darn childhood rheumatism is killing me too? Ankle darling, please recover soon! Mummy is in great great pain and agony hobbling around the house! T_T *sayangs ankle* Surprisingly the bruised areas don't hurt at all. It's the ankle joint which is killing me and I can't walk still! T_T Now I treasure my ability to run, jump, walk, jog whatever with my left foot! Heal quickly please my darling! T_T
Today after the ice torture! A lot of difference eh.
Tomorrow back to the doctor's. Hope that I would REALLY be off crutches by tomorrow and in a brace. If not, my biceps are in for another day of training and my right thigh muscles would be twice the size of that of my left thigh muscles... How nice. And HOW AM I TO GO TO MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM WHEN I CAN'T WALK?! T_T Poor me... Anyway off to play games to get my mind of my aching foot. Ja.
p/s: I know I sound like the spoilt brat that I am, complaining about some sprained ankle when there are others out there with much more pressing problems going on in their lives. Hello, I am me, and this is causing a great inconvinience in my life, so I am ranting about it like I broke my neck or something. *touches wood* Afterall, you don't expect a pampered kid like me to shut up about every mini problem I encounter in my life right? So deal with it.

Sprained. Ouch.
|| Time: 05:38 p.m. || Date: Tuesday, May 8, 2007||
Today got up, I was still hell sleepy. Bad omens started to show. At least to me. Dad scolded me for always leaving the house later then 6.30am, so I was like don't worry, I WON'T sleep in. And immediately after that, I slept for another twenty minutes before waking up with a start and dashed to get ready in 5 minutes before my dad came in to check. Thank goodness I made it, barely. Went to school, couldn't fall asleep when I was outside of class. But once I went into class, I dozed off and almost again went down late for flag raising. Chinese was uneventful, just that I was praying for it to end (now I wish I hadn't) since it was super boring. Changed for PE, was elated to hear we only had to run 4 rounds so I slow jogged the first 3 rounds inclusive of lazy stopping and sprinted the last. I swear most people didn't even run 4 rounds! I was sure I wasn't one of the last in line for running damn! So stretching and started on assessment. I think I did pretty well for the first one, but I screwed the last two up. I can't control the darn thing today! Usually it's chicken feed, today the ball zoomed everywhere! Although I could finally command it to fly through the goal... So water break and I was like yay full-court today! Fun! Haha. How I wish it was really fun. Fine it was before I sprained my ankle ok! So I ended up in black team since I thought the white sticks looked horrible. So Ms Sabrina did some switching around of team members and all, and the game started. I was thrown to the attacking half that's why... I am more of a defender for team games... Really! Like in Sec 2 netball, I saved all the goals ok! *ego* Basketball I think I didn't do too badly either! And I think I was pretty ok with floorball defending too! As much as I like to play offensive, I lack in stamina and coordination ^^;;;. Anyway game started and the opponent was dominating the ball. Our defence was weak so their attackers had an easy time whacking us, literally too. They had more aggressive players too. Good I guess since it easily breached our defences. So my attacking half just waited for the ball to come over. And the ball was immediately striked back before it even reached my part of the court. -_-||| There was no way I was going to rush at the ball every time it came over ok! But still, when the opponent scored we were like argh. So decided to go more aggressive. Almost scored but haha, still a miss. Sigh. Then it happened. The ball was whacked to my end of the court so I when I hit it, the opponent's defenders AND attackers from my half rushed to me. After hitting it, I felt someone hit me from the right, hard, and I fell while tripping over the 4-5 floorball sticks beneath me. Argh. I'd rather soccer any day! That was the reason why I sprained my ankle, if not my fall would have been a little painful but still ok. And it hurts, big time. Even karate never gave me such problems during sparring! I was like on the floor clutching my aching foot. -_-||| How unglamourous. I never thought a sprain would hurt that much! So I had to drag myself to the side literally since I couldn't even stand. Zijia helped me by checking the degree of injury and all and got ice packs to reduce the swelling... Ouch. When she went to get guaze to wrap my ankle, I was like there trying not to numb my fingers while holding the ice packs against the aching portion with my leg propped up on a chair while sitting on the ground. More unglam moments. After it was dressed and all, I needed Jia Hui and Wu Hong to practically be my crutches as I hobbled to class. Mrs Seah was like *winces* and O_o when she saw me since I was fine during morning assembly when she passed me the schedule of the UK trip...
Back in class I was like ouch ouch ouch help X_X and did I mention I could only wear one shoe since the other foot could only have socks on? So Jia Yin was nice enough to help me bring my shoe back to class ^^;;. Wanted to go back home but since my dad could only pick me at lunch break... I had to ao guo Bio, Phy AND Chem. Hell, three science in a row! I just had them yesterday! So it was still fine during Phy and Bio, since all I had to do was sit and listen and snack on Koko crunch since I was starving... When Chem lesson came, we were told we had to go to lab. I almost literally diaoded. I could either hop up the stairs and be there in 5 minutes, or to hop to the lift, hop all the way to the lab. Which would take around 10 minutes since my right leg was already aching from the training yesterday not to mention all the pressure of my weight being placed on it... The agony! I chose the shorter route duh. TRIED to use the crutch to get me to the stairs, by then my right thigh was starting to have lactic acid accumulated within... Sat at the benches for like 10secons before doing my 'stunt'. So acting like some expert in track and field, I single leg hopped my way up the stairs. Duh I had to take another 10 seconds of rest before I could continue to lab. I was starting to get a hang of crutches... Chem was fine, since all I could do was sit there and observe or do a few experiments. I did both. ^^ Mr Ng was like what happened? So duh I told him I sprained my ankle in PE. He was like how are you supposed to do prac? I was like, eh, ask my bench mates to pass the chemicals? Or work in pairs with my prac partner? He was like fine, ok. He even forced me to wear googles. -_-||| Once lab was over, next wave of worry washed over me. So since I only brought a crutch down since I could put a little pressure on my left foot at first, it was hurting too much for me to do that now. Shu Hui being a nice monitress helped me carry my stuff and helped me to class. X_X That was because Wu Hong dashed off immediately to get the leave/excuse form from school from the GO for me. X_X I feel like a total burden man! So I packed my stuff up and waited like 30 minutes before I got the form then went home. By 12.40pm, I asked Shu hui (again) to help me down to the front of the auditorium where my dad was waiting for me. She was nice enough to help me carry my stuff again X_X. So took the lift and inched my way to the area and continued waiting for the approval. Being a lazy or rather being UNABLE to hop to the GO and back again, I asked if Shu Hui minded going to GO to help me check if the form is ready. So she went to find out and in ten minutes, she ran back and I had to sign the stuff and all... Argh, the third time this semester I had to take leave from school! Twice cause of fever, and now a sprained ankle. Thank god I didn't go GO, or the lady would have been like, you again?! So thanked her and my dad sent me home. In a horrible mood. -_-||| Not my fault I sprained my ankle ok! Found my chiropractor was away today so appointment to see him was changed to tomorrow at 8.30am. Oh boy, more time off school. I mind since I would miss out on the Shakespeare acting by the class damn it! CURSES AND DAMNATIONS! I can barely walk without my arms or right leg aching along with my sprained ankle! This sucks! My crutches are now my best buddies oh joy. I can't move without them! Even when I sit, it hurts like crap. There is not a single position which I can place it and not feel shots of pain! I have to keep changing positions and bear the pain since I needed the blood to circulate and to make sure I don't place too much pressure on just one side of my foot... Oh now I have showering to worry about... GOD HELP ME!
I shan't rant anymore, my foot is killing me anyway. I shall blog about last Friday another time I guess. Wish me luck.

Boring meet to a fun-filled afternoon!
|| Time: 11:58 p.m. || Date: Monday, April 30, 2007||
Sat down, or rather attempted to since the stands were flithy with mud and water due the last night's rain. Borrowed tissue from Natalie and we tried to clean the seats up, at first trying to be mean to Fausty by not cleaning her side hehe... Afterall she was too busy with her chemistry practical to care! Thinking it was clean enough, we sat down. Guess what? Fausty's and my skirts were like... Muddy. The former of us having a nice long patch on hers... Natalie barely had any... Mine was like streaks all over the back of my skirt, rather invisible unless you are near me but I am NOT going out in a muddy skirt! So being the insistent me, forced even Natalie to accompany us to the toilets. We were stopped by this NPCC girl was who like, "Where are you going?" We stared at her in a very Singaporean manner, "To the toilet to wash the mud off our skirts?" She was taken aback, well slightly, and gave us a sheepish smile before saying, "Oh, ok." I was like O_o. Just when we were about to go into the toilet, met Edwin kor. O_O!!! It's been ages since I had seen him! And not to mention he looked slightly different too... Hmmm... So Fausty and Natalie went in first, while I stayed outside to chat with him for a while. But that meanie only gave me monosyllabic answers to my questions! T_T! Then I realised it was because he had two lady friends waiting for him. -_-||| I swear, no offence kor, but for someone of his height, he sure is popular with the girls... *faints* So had to sop our eh... One-sided conversation and then went into the toilet to get my skirt cleaned up. Used tissue to try get the mess off, which worked perfectly fine for mine, but not too well for Fausty... Natalie was just the tissue provider there haha, watching us attempting to clean our skirts in the sqeezy toilet. After barely half a minute, a group of our seniors in JC now from Aries came in and with 3+4 I think, people in the toilet, everyone was standing too close to me for my comfort. They were washing off some red paint thingum from their fingers, hands and faces, while the rest of us tried to squash ourselves against the cubicle doors and the walls to give them space. After they exited, it was back to cleaning our skirts. We were more or less done and started drying the giant wet splotch(es) on our skirts to make sure it didn't looked like we wet our skirts or something once we went out... Did I mention we used the hand dryer for that? Not that it helped much but since it wasn't too visible, we just went out back to the boring meet. Walked around for like 3-4 times aimlessly, although once was to see amah and succumbed to helping her by buying two buns... Fausty managed to give it away to Lu Theng, and I am just happy I kept mine since it would be my breakfast tomorrow! Oh didn't get any bubble tea T_T, they were sold out! Poor Fausty bumped into -inserts name here- sadly, although no *cougheyecandycough*! T_T! Natalie and I were dying to see how he looked like! I didn't see my cousin either, wonder if it was a blessing or a curse... Oh debated about whether RJC or HCJC was better too with Natalie... Both Fausty and I still want to go to the former hehe...
Behold the cliques!
Oh well, the meet ended around 11+am or so, and Fausty, Jia, Sars, Zeena and I were planning to get lunch. BUT, we didn't know where to go! So after like 5 minutes of hesistation, inclusive of considering how long it would take Sars to go to her third language, (Fausty ponned!) we decided to catch a bus to KAP. DUH, even though we knew it would be a miracle if we could find seats... True enough, it was packed to the brim by the HC family inclusive of NY, and smart smart Sars went to asked for the reserved section to be opened and we koped a really nice and cosy 5 seater or maybe even more spot. Fausty, being the responsible citizen NY had painstakingly tried to mould us into, took the orders from all of us. Both of us then went down to queue for like fifteen minutes since every cashier had a queue stretching to the stairs at least. Chatted while we were waiting and finally it was our turn. Gave the lady our order (she was confused due to us placing 5 orders at go...) and poor Sars' order didn't have a student meal so I had to run up and ask her what she wanted now, then run back down to tell the lady her order... I made sure she got my order right too, no more screw-ups or I am going to blow up, period. Our order took 5 trays! Which meant both of us had to take two! So while Fausty waited for the other trays, I took one up first and then back down to get another up. Sars came down with me and so each of us took a tray back up. We then realised there wasn't any sauce so yeap, I being the nice girl I am, decided to go down and get 6 packets of chili and 6 packets of curry sauces. I went to the side to request for them, only to get 4 of the counter people ignoring me. I was getting impatient and asked louder this time. The lady who heard me passed me 2 of each, I swear people NEVER learn to listen right, so I told her I need 4 more of each. She gave me this are-you-kidding-me look and was like, "Why do you need 6 of them??" I was like, "Cause we have 5 people and we are sure even 5 won't be enough?" She shook her head and handed them to me. I was super pissed by then, I mean in the service industry, never question the customer. Not to mention, show some respect to me, or this time, I will speak to the manager personally again. She is "well-acquainted" with my parents. I was fuming when I went back up, and the rest tried to calm me down. ARGH. Sheesh. Checked our orders and Fausty busy with her Math Challenge of calculating who gets how much as change. When we checked the order, we found and extra packet of fries and a wrong order for Fausty. Not to mention we realise we didn't have serviettes. I was like *throw hands up in exasperation* no way am I going down again! So Fausty and Zeena went down to change the order and get the napkins. When they came up, Zeena dumped a huge pile of serviettes on the table in front of me and was like, "Happy now?" I was like of course! Haha! I shall start putting some snapshots soon as well as I narrate on, all resized for your viewing pleasure!. We had this huge pile of fries from the five packets we had! And we seriously enjoyed ourselves with all the laughter and chatting too!
The mountain of fries! *le gasps* Oily T_T!
Being totally drowsy after our heavy meal, we decided to take a short nap. Sars and I slept for like fifteen minutes first, before Zeena being a meanie, woke us up. She was telling us how we should keep awake while the rest of them sleep! T_T Fausty didn't sleep at all O_O, and all of us were like sleep-deprived thanks a lot to NY! While a few of us slept, the rest of us chatted and stuff like that. When Fausty and I were the only ones awake, Fausty decided to play this word game with me, which was like a string of alphabets comprising of words which you are supposed to find the words which made it up. (eg: melesanitisedatives) I couldn't see 4 of them T_T. And then we started doodling on the paper haha...
Sleepy heads...
Only Sars slept on after I woke them up and this RI guy came to ask us to do this survey on co-ed and non co-ed schools. Being nice girls we are, we decided to help. Sars pretended to be sleeping just to skip doing the survey! Bad girl! When we were talking about Mrs Ng, we decided to give her a sms to ask if we could go over to MGS to visit her and perhaps chat for a while. It took her like an hour or even longer just to reply us. And that was by us calling her! Fausty was once more the one who called her :D. And apparently, to her Ng's 'hello' was... Sexy. O_o I guess since Ng has a very interesting way of speaking... So she told us she would be busy with her class movie outing thingum and asked how we were doing. So Zeena was like, "I'm dying." Trust our dear Fausty to twist the facts to "Zeena is dying to me you! The rest of us burst out laughing and Zeena started protesting whahahaha! Ng replied by saying how she could hear the senseless gigglings in the background, -inserts more laughter here-. We decided to bully Zeena too by asking her to tell Ng the next date of meeting up with her. ^^
To cure ourselves of sleepiness, we went down to get dessert, leaving poor Fausty alone with our bags. She didn't want any either >_<. So this time the queue was short and the four of us were like playing 'sleep on each other' by leaning on each other's backs in a line. We were joking about how if the person in front of Sars (who was the first in line) moved, all of us would tumble over. And if we didn't, Sars would be too groggy to place her order and when the lady looks behind her, three more sleeping girls will be in sight. Unfortunately it didn't happen and we got our sundaes, chocolate for Sars, strawberry for Zeena and me, and Jia got vanilla cone. O_o Went back up and back to chatting. We enjoyed the cool, soft, ice-cream trickling down our throats... Ahhh... Pure bliss! A tinge of strawberry to top it off... Mmmm! Jia decided to use her ice-cream as clay and moulded her ice-cream to weirdo shapes... One of which made the ice-cream top look like lips which she pretended to kiss! Haha! It was all good fun!
Jia looks fascinated with her ice-cream...
Jia and her ice-cream again!
Now on to Sars and Zeena!
Let's not forget mine! ^^
Fausty you sure you don't want some? ^^|||
*MWACKS*
Chatted some more until Sars had to leave for third language... Oh, we were also planning on launching the 'A Hug A Day' movement as well! So all of us would go around hugging each other a day to keep ourselves free of the blues! Decided to leave at 2.45pm or so since no one wanted to go to Kino with me T_T.All of us had to cross over to the other side of the road so we left together yeap. Zeena almost forced us to cross the junction for goodness-knows-what reason! We just continued with the normal road and all... Until we reached the lane/stone road thingm leading to the railway station, a super small one. Being 'adventurous' teens with nothing better to do after Sports Meet, we went in to explore.
On the trail, the shrubs nearer to KAP grew tall! There were weirdo flowers thingum there so we went forward to see. It was the stamen of the flowers. A few of us blew it to see if any pollen grains were scattered and indeed we saw micro grains floating in the air when we blew at it.
Now you know why we wanted to blow right?
Walked further down and there was this patch of rocks nearer to the railway line. Zeena our dear 1st runner up for shotput for upper secondary, took the rocks and started pelting them to the shrubs and plant at the other side of the trail. Jia was being naughty and taunted Zeena by saying how those throws were pathetic! X_X Fausty almost tripped when she threw due to her bag *hehe*! I threw one for the fun of it and it didn't hit the fence T_T.
The path not taken...
Stony X_X...
Look at the rails!
And civilisation so close by, sigh.
The station! Rather small eh...
Perfect breeding places for mozzies! T_T *runs* p/s: See how clear the water is?
Ahhh! The beautiful sky!
Closer in we saw the rails and the station like in the photos. Did I mention relatively big dragonflies hovering above the puddles? I was super freaked out T_T. I bet they were waiting for a chance to fly at me! Not to mention a lot of mosquitos enjoyed our blood... And Fausty had a nasty bite on her elbow which swell up. X_X Next time, bring insect repellent first! ^^ We wanted to go further in but time doesn't wait for anyone, so we went back out to the main road.
Zeena gave us two choices, which both added up to the same conclusion anyway, to walk on to the next overhead bridge and cross, or to cross now and walk one stop down. What a glaring fallacy. -_-||| Anyway, we decided to walk on first and Jia and Zeena in front of Fausty and me. Fausty was just telling me during the mini exploration how Zeena and Jia would make such an awesome couple if Zeena was the guy and Jia the girl! The just make a good couple together don't you think? Poor Jia doesn't understand why though lolz! Just before 'Sterling' condominium, Zeena was telling me how she liked a leafy tree on our right. Personally I preferred the one next to it but oh well, Zeena wasn't too pleased when I told her I couldn't see why she liked it. X_X
Tribute to the tree Zeena likes!
More stamens! Of a different plant this time!
While crossing the overhead bridge, Fausty started making weird shapes using the shadows on the ground. So I took snapshots of it. She showed Zeena and Jia and Zeena was like asking if she could take the picture haha. But as I was teaching her how to use my phone's camera, she would rather I took it haha! So Jia and Fausty made heart shapes on the ground, and we unknowingly held up two women and their kids (they were the assistants of my dentist O_O!!!!) while taking the picture haha!
10 points to those who can guess who made this!
*lub lub wub wub*
So we went down and to the bus stop. Turns out why Zeena was so insistent on us walking down one more stop was because she had to turn into the lane just before the bus stop to her house! So we stood at the pavement next to the lane, closer to the bus stop under the shade to do some last minute chatting. Jia and I kept a look out for bus 67, which all of us, except Zeena duh, could take together! When the bus came in sight, we had to run to the bus stop. Just before that, we had to give out hugs to one another first! So I hugged Fausty first and Jia hugged Zeena. Since there wasn't anymore time to give two more proper hugs, we just did a big GROUP HUG and rushed for the bus. We hugged each other just outside the take-away window of Macs too. The people inside who saw us were laughing and giving us the O_o looks. Haha! That one was a round robin so I guess it made up for the hasty last minute hugs haha! So on the bus nothing much, sat at the remaining three seats right at the back until I had to alight to go home. Chatting about the past, music, the present... Sigh. It's amazing how time flies by when one is with friends. Went home, had problems with my computer and after 4 start-ups before it worked. Plugged in my phone to allow the files to be downloaded into my computer and also to add songs to my phone haha. Since the latter takes forever, I decided to take a nap... Who knew I slept till 6pm! Then I woke up, still groggy and grouchy. Mum made me go for dinner even though I wasn't hungry and yeap. Showered late, came out at 9pm! O_O! So here I am typing my entry with breaks inbetween and time taken to resize and rotate the pictures. Such a memorable day!
My thoughts and all shall be kept for another post. I think this itself is lengthy enough. Why do I write such long grandmother stories? Well it's simple. I believe the only way to re-live my memories is to jot down every detail (This itself isn't even down to the micro bits which I record in my personal dairy!) and when I read it in the future, it just resurfaces from the recesses of my mind and I am once more back at that place and time. I am such a sucker for the good old days.

Hidden within me is a creature of evil and darkness. Period.
|| Time: 04:48 p.m. || Date: Saturday, April 28, 2007||
Yesterday during PCCG lesson, my teacher screened like 18 minutes of the award-winning 'An Inconvinient Truth' to the class. Quite interesting if you ask me. Seriously, I still don't think the world will bother to take any bloody action to reduce global warming even if the polar icecaps melt and countries like mine will be submerged under the sea. Oh joy, maybe we will even mutate and get gills and fins to live underwater huh. How many people will actually bother to recycle unless it is no extra trouble to them? How many people will look past all the nitty problems in their lives and think globally? Most are probably too busy making money or trying to gain fame than to find solution to save our planets. Even world leaders aren't doing much. Think about it. If they are REALLY that concerned about the environment, do you think they will mind a slight economic dip globally just for all the leaders to cooperate in reducing the amount of natural resources being consumed at lightning pace? Or just to persuade multi-national coporations to have more environmentally friendly products made, rather than waste all the materials on unnessassary things like packaging? Even though UN is always talking crap about them trying to cut down on contributing to global warming, the amount of greenhouse gases in the air along with depletion of natural resources still soar sky high, and still increasing by the day. Unless the sea level raises to a point where some major countries are affected, no frikking proper action will be taken. People are more worried about the problems that can arise among humans, rather than the impending wrath of nature. All I can say, as a powerless and voiceless citizen of the world, is that the governments can go play around with their weapons for all I care, but one day, they will soon realise what imbeciles each one of them had been. Good luck to all of us. We will be lucky to even survive till 2100. Oh joy, and the Sun doesn't even burn out until the other half of it's life is gone. And the threat of asteroids colliding with us is peanuts as compared to the impacts of Man on the environment. Oh joy. Oh did I mention that it just doesn't bother us individuals since the governments are the ones in charge? And not to mention it's just dorky to bother so much about something like the environment which is so distant from our lives. Not to mention messages like these will be nothing more than a breeze beside one's ears for a day at most before everything is hunky-dory again? Afterall, you will never miss something until it's gone. Oh Lord save our souls, only a miracle can extend the life of humanity and the Earth even if the former deserves so badly to be perished to the depths of hell and roasting in it's merciless flames.
Speaking of the environment, my CCA is not much better. I miss those days where the seniors were with us. I have totally no idea how they had managed to control us or to make the events RATHER successful in comparison to my year. The Earth Week was a disaster. Us seniors were the ones who kept it going, even so not everyone turned up to help. The juniors, let's just say barely the amount of fingers I have on a hand of them helped us per day. Even if they did, it was more of sitting there and slacking. Sigh. The games? Let's see... What games? They were supposedly created before the Earth Week and when it was time to set them up, NOTHING WAS THERE. The prizes kept disappearing to god-know-who's hands, and we had to push it back nonstop since we can't hold games without prizes.I swear, I am exasperated whenever I talk to most of them or force them to get their jobs done. What is so hard about doing simple tasks assigned to them? I had to force them by using more or less a demanding tone to get them to do the reflections, and even gave them a deadline to prevent them from slacking. I mean come on! Is it really a must for me to go to such an extent just to get them to do simple tasks like this? I swear, I feel like slapping half of them across their faces. On the bright side, the secondary threes are good. They were hardworking most of the times and did their tasks and all. At the end of the day, the burden will be passed on to them. When that time comes, good luck man. The juniors will be a hell to monitor over. Not to mention the standard of our club is dropping. Good luck trying to continue attaining Lotus Award NYGC. You are so going to need it. Maybe I should scold them soon, perhaps it will cause my unpopularity level to shoot up even more, not that I care, but it ought to get those lazy arses of theirs off their seats and back on track. If the secondary ones are complaining about their lives now, good luck. They have like 14 more terms to go till they leave NY. Unlike us who sometimes are really pressured by the workload of secondary fours. Curses and damnations. Hopefully the upcoming events would be more up to scratch.
You know the Minister related Litter-Free Campiagn I mentioned I think quite a few posts back if I did mention it at all. Well oh joy, guess what? It was further postponed to 28th May. What a wonderful date. And you know what? That means Char, Fausty and I can't attend it. Worse, both of them are the scriptwriters. How can one have a play without the scriptwriters there? Not to mention they worked super super hard on it, and stressed themselves out to the verge of insanity in Char's case. She was crushed when she heard the news. Looks like BSP is causing her to lose out on all the events near and during the main holidays... Poor thing... Fausty is probably going on a family trip to Hong Kong, and she too put a heck lot of effort into it! Where's the justice in this world! For me, I am just nothing but a mini little portion of the play, one of the 'actress' in scene two. But I was disappointed, since I wanted to do a little more for the CCA since my slacking for the past two years. Sadly, that isn't going to happen. Oh well, for me I guess I win some, I lose some. In this case, looks like I will be losing out a little. I don't mind if I can;t make it for the play, my role can easily be taken by someone else. I just pray that the guest of honour can't come on that day and can only come on a day where both Char and Fausty can be present for it. That's the least they can get as a reward for all they had done... Fate sucks sometimes. Even amah was saying how upset the three of us looked when we lay with our chins on the table, almost not wanting to believe our ears. For me, it's not that bad, but I don't even want to start on how close Char was to crying... Hopefully Fausty's confirmed trip isn't on that day itself or before it...
I guess that's enough brooding so far. I am still feeling awful and I have gym coming up in twenty minutes... Oh joy. Jackie Chan will be at the club too. Wonder if I get to see him hmmm... I need tips on how to increase my stamina for karate... On a lighter note, my dad just got a new car. From the old 'e' class, we changed to the newer version, equipped with keyless features and of course finally, retractable mirrors. I miss the old car, but the black leather seats and the overall bigger space and comfort of the new one made up for it. At least I have a picture of the old car as a memory... So many things in my life are changing. Personally, I hate change. I want to stick within my comfort zone and just immerse myself in the sense of security it gives me. Whenever something changes, I will feel...Weird. It would take me ages to get used to it and usually I will be in a foul mood if the change is on a larger scale, like moving of houses. I want to keep my memories close to me, I want the house at least to be physically still intact. So when I go see it again next time, it is still there, with all the memories it holds for me. But my entire building is going to be demolished. All the other houses I had stayed in are still there, a sense of nostalgia will greet me whenever I return there. I can't bear to think about how long my memories will hold for my current house, the longest length of time I had ever stayed in one place. Finally no rental, a place which is truly our own, a place I can finally call home. Soon, I will be kicked out of it, forced to live on another's property, cherishing nothing more but the mere fragments which grace my mind before I let the day come to an end... How I loathe such changes.
Ok I better end off soon. I just got Pokemon Pearl version, FINALLY! I have been waiting for the english version for ages! Finally it's here! And not to mention sports meet is coming soon, hope it will lift my spirits a little... Did I mention I finally got Katsuya's Starter Deck as well?! I have been waiting for it for AGES! Now for Seto's... Ok I guess I am feeling way better now. So much for my mood swings. Sigh. Ja.

Musings and complaints.
|| Time: 09:53 p.m. || Date: Wednesday, April 25, 2007||
Ok here comes, 6 weird things about moi. Can’t think of much now since well, I am more or less an open book…
I have a thing for gothic stuff… Black, lacy, dark drapes and medieval decorations with intrinsic candlelight holders for lighting… Long silken or velvet sheets and high boots… Cool! Weird to most I guess. But no, I am NOT going to convert to Satanism. Witchcraft sounds nice though…
I can feel super strongly towards certain subjects to an extent of writing a full-blown expository essay on them. Yet, I lose that feel immediately when I sleep! >_<
I have a strong urge to just go up to people I loathe and slap them across their faces and give them such a big telling-off that they wished they were never born. Sadly, due to the shackles of rules and laws, thou is unable to fulfill thy wishes.
I wish I had superpowers! Really! I know this is back to the childhood days but hey, a little bit of fantasy helps keeps you young ok! Not to mention I enjoy going crazy and acting 10 years younger than I should be (equivalent to our dear Beck) and getting weird stares from others. Oh I wish to kill some people off with my imaginary powers too!
I get annoyed and very paranoid over the littlest things. Like someone leaning over my desk to past stuff to my partner, or people unintentionally kicked my chair, or accidentally hit me… Argh. It pisses me off. And worst, people who misinterpret what I say or do. Or when people don’t do things according to my wishes.
I am so obsessed with the secrets of the Earth/world! Come on! I mean like how can one not ponder all night through about where a black hole might bring us, or if there are really other life forms out there, or is there even an Atlantis? It fuels my imagination, gives me endless inspirations and helps keep the clockwork in my mind running.
-Ok now I am blogging at home- Isn't it amazing how the school spirit barely gets into me? I mean after today's dialogue session with the management, all I can say is that well... I just don't fit in to the environment sometimes in Nanyang. Hello look at my class. It is hard enough to fit in with every other clique thinking you are weird cause you are a mixture of them and some other groups. Hell, I think I am like capital nerd, and some people find me bimbo even. Oh god. Seriously, looks like I can't trust my interpretation of my personality anymore. When MOST of the level seemed to be sparked off by the dialogue session about school spirit along with a hell lot of stuff added in by the principal and the vices, even the deans! I was like sitting there thinking like, oh god, this just doesn't work that way! I barely feel a sense of attachment to the school, save for some nice memories it holds, other then those, it's just a place where I stress and get acne. It is also a good excuse to shut some people up, like that stupid cousin of mine. Tell her, hello, I am from *nanyang*, what makes you think I won't know this? She shuts up. That's the best part. And when people go like, oh, you didn't get into Raffles right? I will just retort in a haughty manner saying how I needed to be in touch with my chinese heritage since I am brought up in a Westernised way. They shut up too. Well, I just barely feel any sense of belonging in the school. If I could switch schools with my few measly friends, I don't mind. Heck, I know I will be happier too. I mix with neighbourhood schools kids better than in my school! Ironic isn't it. I don't know, maybe it MIGHT change when I move opposite and people continue to hate me. If not then yea, I will be 100% sure that I won't miss Nanyang.
Ok onto the juicy bits. Ok fine I will revert to my cynical self now. Fausty, carrot, Char and I were having a heck of a fun time yesterday during CCA being bitches and gossiping for like the entire CCa time save for the time carrot went to do the Green Audit while we slacked away hehe. But carrot DID gossip with us as well! It all started when Fausty brought up this rumour which was like an open secret in yong-hachi (Fausty tell me if it's right >_<) ban. Well we were like OMG, I can't believe it! Are you sure it's true and all that kinda stuff... Soon Char came and we started talking about well... Gossip. And about others bitching and bitching ourselves haha. We were then talking about bitching and bitching about people for the rest of the CCA. Come on, we are in a frikking so called elite girl's school. Duh sooner or later we would be moulded into the perfect bitches even if it was subconciously! Which of you had never bitched about someone else in your entire life? So we were talking about the gossips circulating about us and everyone else haha... Just say it's nice to know what others btich about you behind your back. Number one, it reflects what sort of an impression you give to others. Next, it shows how much people do not understand me. Also, it shows how people are so cowardly not to tell you about it in their faces. Trust me, I bitch in front of that person I am bitching about if I have the chance, or unless it revolts me to even look at you then I don't know how am I supposed to do it. Maybe that's why some people totally loathe me, like I care lolz. Seriously I don't really care about people bitching about me since it doesn't affect my life anyway. I thought I was like this obscure member of the Nanyang family, who knew that my reputation was that bad? I know that there are other people out there who get it worse than me and are cracking with the pressure of these bitching comments etc, but oh well, it's fun to hear them sometimes you know! So let's just end this topic off by saying this. I bitch about you, you bitch about me, we will still end up as a *fake* happy family so who cares?
If I am a *cjncp* (crack this, it's super easy) I pity half the school man! Haha! I always thought I was the opposite hehe.
I am falling in love with the Renaissance era! The beautiful artworks coupled with the elegant literature... Thinking about it makes me float into dreamland thinking how amazing it must be to be living in such a time and place! (As a member of the upper class society since they enjoy the fine arts the most) Meeting up with the famous authors and artists, experiencing first-hand history in the making! Not to mention the architecture and the fashion last time! (Ok the last one sounds totally bimbotic but it's true! It's so interesting!) This was fueled even more by watching snippets of the movies 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice'! My dad did allow me to go for the King Lear play coming to Singapore, but no one could come along thanks to the stupidly high ticket prices. I am still pondering over whether should I go for the Singaporean's recreation of the Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Personally, I am against the local flavour destroying the Old English feel it was suppose to give us. Call me angmoh if you must, I prefer to stick with the classics. Sigh. Since it's a CLASS thing... *dies*
Just went to see another new house today. This time it was in a relatively horrendous place, with no MRTs nearby YET and it's like in the middle of a group of factories and the traffic is just plain argh! The penthouse was RELATIVELY nice, with all the space and everything. There were 2 master bedrooms which would be just nice for my parents and me, my bro doesn't need that big a room yet. Seriously, most of the space was taken up by the rooftop open spaces which were are NOT FRIKKIN ALLOWED TO PLACE GLASS SHELTERS. It was raining when we went to see the showroom, and trust me, what a waste of perfectly good lacquer wood! The furniture was totally soaked and the open spaces were just inaccessible! It was horrible. To think that my possible future home would be like that, but the concept was slightly different from that since like the one my dad bought is duh NOT that one, but another one in Newton, of a smaller land area, which half of it consists of the rooftop open spaced garden... I mean it's fun to try stay at such a place with one able to play and utilise the space above in good weather. If not, our house gets smaller by 50%. Not cool. On the bright side, even though it cost like 50% more per square foot as compared to the showroom we saw (because the showroom of the house we are getting is not ready, or rather doesn't even have to be there since all the units were sold out before it was even built), it's at the current market price. Not higher, not lower. To me, I believe it's a good investment yea? I shan't let out my making money strategies whahahaha! (My dad stole half my idea and claimed it as his own! *sniffles*) I just hope that I will get used to staying in Bukit Timah till the house is done... What will happen to my gym training times and my piano classes?! The time taken to and fro will be doubled! The land area is smaller by a little more than 11% of my current house size, meaning the luxury of space in the living room is compromised, but still. It will be bigger than my new house which the land area is smaller than my current one by 27.8% (3 s.f)! That is for the covered area. The uncovered area is the same size as the covered area... Knowing the unpredictability of the weather, I doubt sunny Singapore will continue to have the Sun rays beating down on us. Even so, I bet it will rain at least once a day, and making us wait for everything to dry up before we can use the roof garden! Still, I guess it's a good enough an investment. Sigh. My room will be hell small and I can't chase my brother around anymore oh darn it.
I guess I better end this post off even though there is so much more I want to say. I mean it's late and I just got out of the shower thanks to my house visitng spree... The Annual NY, HCI, HCJC combined sports meet is coming! It will be a day before May Day/Labour Day, so yes! Sort of a two days holiday! I know it's a waste of time to go there and stone and stone and stone and read smses of my kor totally skipping out on it again with his group of friends haha. Typical! I guess I can do what I did last year... Go around with my friends and find people we know, hang out, chat and waste time until it was time to be dismissed! I will be meeting a certain Fausty at the bus stop at 6.45am or so this time so yeap! Finally, someone to go there early with moi! :D So after the meet, both of us, carrot and Char will be going for lunch at a yet-to-be-decided place haha! A long conversation awaits us! Especially meanie Fausty who totally ignored me when I poked her literally and not literally when I was going home. Hn! Knowing this is one of the few rare chances I have left to take bus with the people from NY side of the bus stop, that meanie didn't even turn around and so I went home first then she called. SHEESH. And persuade Char more about something... *evil laughter*
Ok then, that's about it. Time for Neopet freebies to fight with Jo for better prizes! Whahahaha! Ja~!

More problems. Period,
|| Time: 10:44 p.m. || Date: Monday, April 23, 2007||
Today, I swear is such a crappy day. Or to put it crudely as I had on the phone, 'Fuc*ed up'. First, went to school and I was totally wiped from the revision and late night the day before. So instead of doing last minute mugging, I slept till the warning bell, which I almost slept through if it wasn't for my classmate who sharply rapped the desk beside my ear... Physics first thing in the morning. With such a horrendous score. Spoilt my mood. Math was good. The teacher wasn't in school and he uploaded the wrong module for homework for us... So free lesson, used to add the last part of my current chapter of my fanfic and biology last minute mugging. Recess nothing much, just bullied by Beck and carrot again... Sigh. Typical. Went back to class at 10.06am and Ms Lye just started doing last minute revision of a worksheet with us. Chinese, nothing much just that I scored below average for my chinese practice paper too. Don't blame myself, I didn't really put effort into it. Biology test... Just say I am only 50% sure of the answers I had jotted down for the paper... Chemistry was... 'fun'. Nono, we did not listen to the teacher. We started on a new chapter and he was using diagrams drawn on the board for explaination. Just that his curves were RELATIVELY badly drawn so they were perfectly misleading to the poor clueless students. The axis (both) were slanted, and when he drew the curve, the constant portion was parallel to the length of the board, at an angle when compared to the axis though... We were like, why would it decrease? And he told us it was a STRAIGHT line, so constant... Oh boy. Being bored out of our wits, a few of us attempted at listening to our ipods. And suceeded might I add. I used to do it during zuo wen last year... So no big for me... Went home and tuition yadayada... Took a two hours naps after that to catch up on my much needed sleep and yeap. Dinner and spent 1 hour on this stupid addictive Neopets game... Washed up and here I am!
What seriously got me pissed today was the fight with my mum and well, some thing which happened in school. The former shall not be elaborated on. Afterall, jia li de chou shi bu neng wang wai lou. It has come to my attention that more and more people are cheating in tests! I mean come on, I know it is the frikking last year here and all of us wish to attain the 75% average to secure the place in Hwa Chong JC but still! Cheating? That is such an underhand, degrading thing to do! It upsets the mark range for those who actually bothered to slave our arses off for the tests yet might not do well! Like me. The names shan't be placed here since I do not wish to destroy my blog by placing such lowly people's names here. Apparently, there is a hell lot of leakage of questions for the tests around. For us, the class just on our right would share answers and questions with those in my class. SOME PEOPLE, not all mind you. I will not be yanked down to their levels just because of those imbeciles! If we take a test first, it would leak to that class. And vice versa. Maybe that's way some people whose grades aren't the best are scoring even better. That is just plain unfair to those people who are actually honest! Might I add even counsellors do it? The one in the Math and Science finals -... Oh opps, I shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag huh. And her bunch of friends who came to my class to beg for the notes on the essay question since they know the EXACT question. Opps, another slip of the tongue. Come on, whats with the decrease in level of integrity in the students. Wait, was there even any in us anyway? I know at least there is a drop of that left in me. That really sparked the temper out of some of us. To add on to that topic, my classmate saw another two in the same row in front of her cheating. They were sharing answers... Argh. I swear, if I weren't in a rush to finish up this entry, it would be yet another bitch post. I wonder if it was me who had seen them, would I have told on them? I am still fuming over it. Argh.
I better end of now, its 15 minutes past my bedtime. Thank my 2 hours nap. A number of you commented to me about my increase usage of 'vulgarities'... All I can say is, my life is a rollercoaster ride now. Expect horrendously unpredictable moodswings... I can't help it if school and life is killing me sometimes. So what better way than to rant in a non-diplomatic way with vulgarities? Come on admit it. Sometimes, it is only possible to convey your anger and frustration through such unpleasent words. Might I say it is becoming a bad habit too... Oh cheers, I am exempted from NAPFA again. ^^ And 2.4km run is tomorrow, see you all

So much in so little a time.
|| Time: 01:05 a.m. || Date: Wednesday, April 18, 2007||
Quite a fair bit had happened during the week or so since I had last posted. I think I had failed to mention that last Tuesday, it was like drizzling and all even though it is April already, and lessons had finally ended. Bored out of my wits, I continued writing my fanfic (31 pages as my new total number of pages might I proudly add!) and I found myself stuck at a scene. So to get inspiration, I looked out of the window. At first nothing seemed out of place so I continued looking at the almost invisible lines pelting down from the heavens. Just then, a movement at the house directly in my line of vision caught my eye. I looked carefully and I almost fell off my chair in amazement. I rushed towards the window (just 2 steps mind you) and almost climbed onto the ledge outside to make sure I wasn't dreaming. It was a frikking full-grown hornbill. In Singapore. That was a frikking rare enough sight in the 'natural' environment around the island! Imagine what are the odds of having one directly in the garden of a house (which noone was in at that time) opposite your classroom? I just stared and stared and stared. It was huge. That poor bird was trying to hop over the high hedge to the next door's garden and failed miserably. Soon my classmates gathered and they were like OMG COOL. After looking for a while, they got bored and went back to their gossips and homework and whatever. Then Beck came in. I grabbed her and dragged her to the window, and she was just as surprised as I was to see such a rare sight. The hornbill was still jumping up and down, trying to use it's legs to grab the fence and the creepers on it to pull itself over. We chatted at the window about the bird for a while and I tried to snap a few shots of it with my phone. Sadly, even with the highest zoom it could go, the bird was pathetically pixelised and small. Such a sad thing not to capture the moment on film. Still, it was a stroke of pure luck! Beck became even more ego than her normal self (which might I add, is horrendously ego already), and was saying how other's lucks diffused into her and she was on a good luck spree. -_-||| I just whacked her and just then, the hornbill jumped down from the fence and took off. Both of us stared once more. We didn't realise how long it's wingspan was. It was like huge... We almost wanted to call the zoo or the birdpark before it flew too! Or even the police. But it was too dumb to call up the last option and go, "Hello, is this the police? I would like to report a huge hornbill residing in the garden of *coughhachilindendrivecough*, and it might be a possible illegal exotic animal trading taking place or the bird just got trapped there on it's migratory route..." What a sight to behold on the end of a horrendously long and boring school day!
On the recent Saturday, while on the way back from my piano lesson, my dad and I passed this accident just at the start of the Newton Circle (the side where one exits from Bukit Timah to Newton). A Comfort Cab totally drove into the metal bar/gate/whatchumacallit and it was completely off the road and halfway into the drain and of course, the metal railing thingum was totally twisted and all. My dad and I were amazed at how that driver had managed to get himself into such a situation. I mean if it was slightly onto the pavement, it might be due to skidding or loss of attention etc. But all the way into the drain? That was quite scary. I made me think twice whenever I get into a cab now. Afterall, my life was in the driver's hands. Thank god the driver and the passenger were free of injuries despite the entire front of the cab was crushed in... Being the normal kaypoh Singaporeans, my dad and I whipped out our phones and snapped a few shots of the accident before driving home when the traffic lights changed colors.
Speaking of piano lessons, my teacher is still pushing for me to take the Grade 5 exams... I mean hello, I stopped for like *counts* 5-6 years of piano before retaking it up at the end of Sec 1! Worse, I barely practice my pieces! I only touch the piano when I feel like it or when I have the time or and hour before my lesson... What made my teacher think I could actually pass my exams? Not to mention even though I did Grade 5 theory in Primary 4, I had since forgotting practically everything about theory! Relearning it for Grade 5 isn't that easy... To add on to all of those, I can't perform under pressure! I wanted to relearn piano just to have the joy of creating music once more with my hands and to learn how to play some beautiful pieces I hear others playing. Not to mention bring myself deeper into my obsession with whatever anime I am crazy about during that period of time by playing the theme songs and vocals from the anime over and over again! I have karate, school and other assessments to worry about, I don't need one more! It's more of a hobby and pastime, not a future career option! Yet it would be interesting to see how I can actually fare under such conditions and judge my abilities from there... Argh, decisions decisions. Jo told me if I were to take the exams, Abrasm (sp?) would be a better choice since Trinity is harder, according to her. And that I might want to choose Mozart pieces to play and not sonatas, which both of us are sick of haha!
With the Earth Week celebrations and Litter-Free event coming up, CCA is getting a lot busier, kind of. With Fausty and Char pushing the practice of the skit/play, CCA finally seemed less slack for the juniors who complained. -_-||| Now that the latter is postponed once more, all of us heaved a HUGE sigh of relief and now we can focus on the Earth Week celebrations, which we hoped would be a success... Mark the word HOPE. Also, we had finally found more time to work on the pending for like 3-4 years CCA t-shirt to jacket... It's now the choosing of the color schemes and me drafting out the design before it can be sent for printing after checking the price range with the members... Hopefully it will stand out from the crowd, in a GOOD way oh god, if not it's going to be so embarassing. Although I am still for the color scheme BLACK and SILVER. It STANDS OUT, its SLEEK, its ELEGANT. Green would only make people think we are literally green. Hello after that episode which a few of us Sec 4s tried to force PT to buy kangkongs from our hydroponics production, vegetation and anything green is related to me. -_-||| Not cool. Oh well, PRAY PRAY PRAY that it looks good! T_T
Speaking of CCA, the number of new members joining us is increasing... In a way, it is good since once the Sec 4s leave, that will take quite a fair bit of us from the club. At the same time, it also means that the new President needs to control more people who might not even be passionate for the work we are doing. And that can pose as quite a big problem for us. The newest addition being a Sec 1 member... Who might I add has a little bit of AP... And I thought I was bad... Sigh. She doesn't seem to do much or contribute as well. I mean the Sec 1s are indeed quiet but still... When I was asking them to do work today, only 2 of them really went down to retrieve the materials and stuff to do up the stuff for Earth Week. Once they had finally started working on it, that new member started a new topic and soon the work at hand was forgotten and it became coagulation time. I mean fine, Sec 4s slack a hell lot but we slaved the past 3 (more of 2 for me) years! I tried to get them back on track only to get weird stares back from them. Argh. I swear I really pei fu Yi Min and Beck for handling the entire club. My blood pressure would shoot sky high if it was me. Not to mention that member is pretty sacarstic towards the seniors whenever she speaks. As an IH student, I shall support my statement with evidence. "Wha, everyone also carry ipod ah! All so rich... I not like them so rich, can own ipod..." The tone was seriously insulting when she saw Fausty and I with Yi Min looking through Fausty's pictures and songs... "I am afraid you didn't answer my question, I asked..." She was DEMANDING us to give her an answer. Sounds ok? We are the seniors. She frikking joined the previous session and here she is demanding stuff from us with no hint of respect. And I thought I was bad when I shot my mouth off at Lily Chua... She was practically glaring and forcing the words out. Maybe I do that sometimes, but seriously, Yi Min was trying to answer it damn it! And does it hurt to answer "I had Nasi Lemak" when one asks "Did you have your lunch?" sometimes? Yi Min was busy with the overseeing of the sandwich boards before that! I mean in all, most of the members in CCA are fine or getting better, which is a good thing! I just don't wish for a black chicken to spoil the 'bond'! Or rather the growing bond. I felt like shooting my mouth back at her once more today... I shan't say what I overheard but yea, I am amazed how well I keep my temper recently. I shall treat myself sometime soon for the effort.
Ok last portion of the post. Today after school, my sitting partner and I went to find Mr Ng caused she needed to withdraw her report book from school to apply for PR. So there we went and she spoke to him for like 30 seconds after taking ages to get the phone to work and wait for him. When I saw her, her face was totally black and she was mouthing curses under her breath. So being the nice girl I was, I asked her what happened. Turns out he wanted her to write a letter and then go back up, call him, and wait for him, before she could get the report book. Hello, we came all the way up for nothing? And his tone was just... Argh! Not to mention, he didn't ask for any letter before that so we had to climb down again to get a letter. During the entire day, even during the 1.5 hours we had with him, he didn't say a single thing about that to my sitting partner. She was fuming since it was a wasted trip and trust me, our impression of him isn't the most impressive and positive one. So she painstakingly churned out a letter with a happy tone and we went back up. This time, he came out and once more wasn't satisfied. Reason? The letter wasn't formal enough! "It looked like something you would give your friend!" Yea. No one said anything about a formal letter. So yea. I could see my partner trying super super hard to control her temper as she meekly apologised and offered to go down and rewrite. Afterall, if we flared up at him, what the fk would happen to our testimonials?! He even scolded my friend when we went up the first time for not saying "Good Afternoon" to him on the phone. Come on, we are teens. How many people will remember that when they are rushing to have lunch before CCA?! He was like "This is not acceptable.." To save both our skins, I injected a few of my own comments. I was like "Oh sorry, we didn't know it must be formal... Why don't you pass the report book to her now and maybe we can go down and rewrite a proper one or type one out and put it in your pigeon hole... Or maybe you would prefer it if we handed it to your personally?" I was not going to climb up again. It was like almsot 3pm, I would not have time for my lunch! We went to find him at 2.37pm the first time and such a bloody simple thing dragged for so long?! Before that, what made us mad was not him asking my partner to rewrite the letter, but more of him saying that we disturbed him two, three times by calling him during his lunch time and making him walk out of the staff room just to see us. I mean wtf?! We had to climb all the way up to the science dept to call on the stupid phone outside which doesn't work most of the time and wait for him to come out before going down and up again after getting scolded and seeing HIS chou lian se! Hello, thats like eating into our time as well! And he could have told us nicely, not just changed his mood and tone completely! Sometimes I wonder how we all ended up with him as the new FT! I know he hates me, but who cares. I pray he better not cause me to score below a B3 for EOY chemistry paper this year.
That's about it for now. Its like 1am now... Thank god I am not going to school tomorrow. Anyway I realised how much of a bitch I am now as compared to lower secondary. Although this rivals how I was back in primary school. Sigh. Seems like I bitch a lot about people nowadays. Hey, it's part of being a typical teen right? Bitchy and snobbish with a little bimboism on top as finishing touches. Oh joy.

Shakespeare in Singlish! *le gasp!*
|| Time: 09:23 p.m. || Date: Saturday, April 7, 2007||
Yesterday hit the gym at around 3pm... It was supposed to be at 5pm, then due to shopping, I was forced to make it even earlier. I thought since it was leg intensive training yesterday, it would be rather not overly taxing. I was so wrong. It was STAMINA training... *dies* I was made to like go at a super high speed at a higher than normal resistance for the 'swinging' legs machine which caused my heart rate to shoot sky high... Then I thought the horror was over since it was weights next. Little did I know, after every set of weights, I had to do endurance training. T_T 4 sets and I swear, my legs were jelly. Time for ARMS now. I was made to do a harder version of sit-ups and then endurance with weights for arms... T_T 3 sets and my arms were screaming for mercy. T_T Oh well, all for my Mission NTLWF and stamina building. Oh the bright side, found out that I lost weight lolz! ^^
Well yes, I did go shopping yesterday. Yes, I broke my promise to myself and bought a pair of shorts, a pair of shoes and stuff from Comics Connection... T_T Oh come on! I NEEDED the pair of shorts! REALLY! For the shoes... Well... I mean it was on sale and they were comfy and a nice shocking pink..... ^^;; Enough a reason to grab it right? For the anime stuff... Umm... It wasn't in my promise! Yea! ^^ bought this Saiyuki related keychain and 10th squad keychain from Bleach whahahahah! *fangirlism* Oh I went to Plaza Singapura... Wanted to go into Esprit but I decided that I shan't buy any more clothes since I REALLY want a few bags and surfer shorts from Animal... >_< Darn my shopaholic genes. Did I mention I need new lip gloss too... I want a PURPLE shade this time! ^^ Grapeeee yum! Went for dinner at Crystal Jade restaurant there too. Sadly they ran out of the fish we always ordered, and I was feeling dizzy and nauseous too, so I barely ate anything... Oh did I mention, during the long queue for the table, there were two women in their twenties in front of my family. One of them wore this blouse which had a hole at the back. She decided to show off her bra strap (it was so unsightly might I add) and acted like a total... Ok shan't bitch about that here. Oh the reason why I brought up that subject was because she kept looking back at me, and I caught a whisper about her talking about my mum and me... -_-||| What's her problem. Hello, not like my mum or me even said anything or threw you any looks right? Sheesh. Enough said. Went for grocery shopping after that and finally grabbed my delicious fruity energy bars! Yay healthy food! Almost bought more nail polish but managed to control my spending spree...
Ok, wrote an introductory page for a website which I am a member of lolz... Took me around an hour with breaks duh, to conjure up the let's see... *pastes entire thing in word counter*, 2021 words O_o. That's like the length of a chapter for my fanfics... It was fun to write it though! Speaking of which I should get started on the chapter soon... OH, did I mention my internet can't seem to connect to Neopets?! Jo just created an account there so I wanted to help her. When I typed in the URL, first time, 'Page cannot be displayed' error. Fine. *refresh* *loading bar: 1 out of entire thing* *waits* *waits* *waits for 20 minutes* Finally! It loaded. WTF. 20 minutes for one page. I gave up and started on my LA Snglish homework. Sheesh.
Being super bored yesterday, I made this set based on kawaii bishie, Jounouchi Katsuya (Jyounouchi to some). *swoons* I tell you, that picture made him look soooo hot! ^^ No animation though, not THAT bored... Hehe.
Not my best but oh well, it was done in like 15 minutes! I usually take at least half an hour! >_< Yeap, this is the full version one of my MSN editted sized icon I am currently using! Speaking of graphics, I was looking through my entire collection of Maple related siggies I had made when my requst baord was still open then. Some were pretty good if I do say so myself, so maybe I should place them on my webbie sometimes lolz!
Ok that should be about all I have to say today. Tomorrow my parents are going to pray for my deceased grandparents so I get to sleep in lolz... So ja~!

More rants and raves
|| Time: 09:37 a.m. || Date: Friday, April 6, 2007||
Ok finally a holiday amidst all the homework and upcoming tests. Did I mention I am so doomed for the upcoming tests too? I don't get a crap about how to write good IH essays. Apparently I am not like some people who can have the EXTRA brain capacity to memorise every frikking minute detail of a case study. If I could, for once maybe I can ace IH. As for chinese... PRAY I GET MY 80+ PLEASE. I haven't gotten any 80+ for my chinese this year! That's like a new record... On second thought, if I get 75+ I am fine, just let me get 80+ for my mid-years. Oh did I mention I am gonna self-study for chem? My chem teacher really doesn't help me pull my grades up. He yanked them from an A to a C, which includes me losing interest in it hence the even greater dip in my results. Oh for phys, Mr Shone ROCKS. He beats my normal Phy teacher ANY DAY. Can't wait to get my first proper A in my phys test... Go figure. Ok below is some random crap thingy I found on Fausty's blog yea.

Total: 4
30/33. Wow high percentage. 30 x 3 = 90%. WHOA. Typical teenage girl. Thats comforting. I think.
Ok great. I just got into a so-called fetish, as one might put it, for writing. Everyday in class since the start of this week, I would whip out my beautiful notebook which I am ashamed to say, had abandoned for almost a year, and start writing. I started the first few pages of it last year as a practice for the upcoming LA assignment which was forcefully shoved into our faces, hoping to gain inspirations from it. Back then, my sitting partners would steal peeks at the story I was conjuring, despite my futile attempts to wrestle the book back. I was not really motivated then, I just wanted to gain inspiration, which now thinking back to those days, was such a pathetic excuse of starting a story. It did not do the story which I had weaved out of thin air any justice since I stopped writing after 2+ chapters inclusive of a mini poem at the end of each. Sigh. I was so tempted to continue writing, yet I knew forcing myself onto a task which I did not feel passionately for would only cause it to be a torture to me. So painfully, I flipped to the next page after writing a mini note to myself, hoping it would take away the feeling of regret in me. Then, I started on my new story. Or fanfic rather.
So there I sat in my 'cosy' seat next to the window, pondering on what to write. I was greatly inspired by a fanfic author from FanFiction.net (A lot of good writers there but mind you, some fics deal with shouen-ai or even shoujo-ai which some of you might find disturbing; personally I am ok with them since I read for the PLOT.) whose stories just caused my heart to twist into knots whevener the 2 protagonists of the story had their fates twisted by the evil author(ess). Her first sad fic hit a soft spot in my heart too, just like how it made a lot of other readers weep at the heart-wrenching ending. Sigh. Her language was not overly simplified, yet it was not filled with buckets of alien vocabulary which forces the readers to go to dictionary.com at every other sentence. Still, she had managed to capture the heart and soul of the entire story and successfully convey it to us. For that, I envy her. Thus my sudden inspiration to continue writing and writing, hoping to master my literary skills to such a level (which is rather impossible but who cares). Thank goodness, I enjoy writing even before I read her fics or any other fics in that case.
Before school, during lesson time, recess and lunch breaks... I would just sit at my desk, letting the blue-black and maroon-brown ink flow from my pens. (Don't ask why I alternate colors between my paragraphs, and don't ask why did I chose such weird colors.) Surprisingly, I did not lose my inspiration even after jotting down 19 pages cramped with the messy and almost illegible handwriting of mine. It helps to flip through the once blank pages now splashed with colored ink illustrating the story I had created. I could almost see the characters acting the scenes out in my head, as I struggled to find the suitable words in my pathetically limited vocabulary to correctly paint the scene for my audience. That fic's final destination was not to sit in the notebook until time took its toll on its pages, but rather to be placed on a fansite on the net to be read. And before you can ask, NO, I will not reveal where it would be. I have a thing about people I know reading any other works but my school assignments. Yes, I still have low self-esteem. Oh did I mention that this not only frees me from the horrible reality I am in, but it helps improve my language for LA too! (I scored disappointingly low for my SRQ... And I am STILL SORE over it. Reason? GRAMMAR OH GOD.)
Just to answer a question from some of my friends, yes, I do have LJ. But unless I conjure up a presentable layout for it, it will remain locked and annoymous to all of you out there. Furthermore, with test weeks coming up, I don't really have the time to devote myself to making a presentable layout as well as CODE it. The latter being the one which takes up most of my time. So sorry, until then, this will be my main blog.
More rants and raves in the next few paras, (long post I know) so be prepared. I almost pulled my beautiful hair out thinking of whether I should cosplay this year. Two problems. My figure, and the cosplay outfit. Of course the latter can be easily solved by getting someone to tailor it for me, but I want the money to spend on my own clothes, bags, shoes, accessories (you get the point) etc... The more pressing matter is my figure. -_-||| Fine, I sound like a total 'bimbo' in this paragraph but remember I am a two-faced bitch so shush it. How am I to cosplay unless I have a frikking wasit circumference of 24?! Oh god. And its not too flattering with my overly muscular and fat thighs as well! So that sparked off Mission NTLWF (Need-to-lose-weight,-FAST-). Yea. since my sitting partner is also on a diet after seeing me on mine, it does help me keep my food intake in check. Sayonara to all those fried and delicious fatty foods and hello plain and dry cereal, though I am pampered with different fruits every day. Hello to intensive cardiovascular workouts at the gym and weight training, bye bye sitting behind the computer and snacking. T_T. All these must be done and sacrificed in order for me to go on my weight loss spree. Hallelujah. IF I am lucky, I MIGHT cosplay during the July cosfest, provided my diet is that effective. Finally my relatives would stop insulting me and my mum would get off my back about my figure... Go figure.
Argh. The arguments my parents get into are getting under my skin. I mean with the en bloc thingum taking effect after like August, or rather DURING August, my family has to SCRAM out of the comfort of my current home ASAP. My dad was planning to do so during the June holidays, which might be a problem since I am going on the UK trip for the first 10 days of the holidays starting from the Thursday of the first week of holidays *breathes, what a mouthful; sentence seems weird but heck it*. Argh, I don't want to stay somewhere inconvinient even though the bloody market prices of houses rose drastically during the past few months. If I had known, I would have forced my dad to get a place at orchard and come back now with like what, 4-5 million in my pocket! From the usual 1+ to 2 million for a house of an average of 1.5-1.9k square feet house in Newton, the prices jumped another 1 million for a 1.6k square feet house. OMG that could have gotten us a house at Orchard of 2k+ square feet before the price increase! *smashes head into the wall* I am so praying that the market would crash again. Or the fuc- I mean frikking foriegners who are yanking up the market prices would just disappear via an inter-galatic vortex of some sort.
They are the main reason for the market's drastic increase in housing prices of districts 9-11, and those are the nice areas of Singapore! A small condo at Bukit Timah of around 1.5k square feet house would cost like at least half a million more than before. Landed property isn't much better either. A 2k+ square feet landed house at the Sixth Avenue in Bukit Timah costs like 2+ - 3+ million easily. Worse, money is needed to completely renovate the place. Thats like a few hundred more thousands down the drain. Oh god, since when did the price of living in Singapore rival that of the other even more developed countries in the world?! If I had been brought up in a more Chinese way, I would have agreed to move to China and live like royalty there although I don't know about the education there... Argh! So currently we have decided to rent a house until number 1, the market frikking crashes, or number 2, we find a nice and REASONALBLY priced house. I don't really want to stay in Bukit Timah with no MRT there... The main reason why I like Newton is.... MRT walking distance from my house. 2 to be exact. *dies* My gym is walking distance too! Once I restart my karate lessons after I am fully healed, it's walking distance from my house too. Moving to Bukit Timah would ruin ALL of that. *dies* Fk the BLOODY FRIKKING MARKET PRICES! CURSE IT TO FALL BY JUNE! AND FALL HORRENDOUSLY LIKE THE CAR PRICES NOW! *shaking with anger and rage* Damn, the government for the IR, they would hold the frikking market up even if it kills them (hopefully it does). Darn it.
Oh well, not much I can do about the market unless I do some sabotage actions to crash the market of the entire world, wait, that would means a possible RETRENCHMENT. NO. Or maybe I can blackmail the owner of a nice house in an area convinient for me to sell it at a price I want! Sigh. Fat hopes. Ok fine, I am too much of a spoilt brat who can't adapt to changes easily so shut up. Well, there are so many things I feel like doing yet I can't seem to get my lazy arse off my nice relaxing chair in front of the computer and do it. I wrote, yesterday a hell lot, around like 4-5 pages in school, chalking up to current 19 pages. Wanted to continue but its better to arrange the thoughts and plot in my head before jotting more down. I want to draw, yet I can't seem to get the proportion of the eye further from the audience of a 3/4 face view. I want to play the piano but my part-time maid is hustling around the house. I want to shop yet I know its not worth splurging since I am on a diet. I am SUPPOSE to do my homework but the heat is cooking my brain. I want to exercise but my training is at 5pm and I seem to be glued to my chair. I read through an entire magazine yesterday and I don't have any more books or magazines unread. I want to daydream but its too warm for me to do so without breaking my chain of thoughts. I want to go shopping but whats the use if I need to be back by 4+pm to get ready for gym? I want to switch the aircon on but it would be too cold then. I want to stop the nauseousness and dizziness I am feeling now but the prescribed medicines don't work. I want to do something but I am not in a mood to game. ARGH. I am just too lazy I guess. I should just read up on the paranormal on the net to keep myself awake with all the spine-shivering facts/fiction online. OH I am going shopping whoopee! Wait. I can't buy anything and I have like over 10 pairs of shoes... OH CRAP. -_-||| Ok that should be enough randomness for today. Ja~!

Fk the world, make it a better place.
|| Time: 12:26 p.m. || Date: Sunday, March 25, 2007||
Don't you just love to wake up and have someone shouting at you to get that fking fat arse of yours out of the bed and face the useless world with a smile? Give me a break. Knowing that I am a natural bitch, did you seriously think that I would just let you scold me and spoil my entire fking day? So what if I love sleeping late and waking up at noon, I pay for it with lethargy and horrendously huge and dark eye luggage. Isn't that enough to spoil any 'energetic, full-of-life and cheerful' teen's life? Yes, I love dolling up once in a while to immerse myself in the illusion of being one of the accepted in the useless society. Just don't bloody get in my way when I am in a bad mood. I have insomnia, I am constantly plagued with illnesses, I am bloody fking FAT and STUPID. I am condemned with all of those and you still want to make my life even worse? Come on. I have my life you have yours. You all know how insensitive I can be if I had wanted to. You all know how I can backstab you. (A beautiful skill picked up from my school) You all know how I can walk up to you and show you the middle finger and a punch in your face. I was an ex-bully. Don't make me revert to those times. Luckily from my endless self-torturing sessions, I have learnt to MORE OR LESS keep my temper in control, even though deep inside my soul is gripping a cold sharp dagger just waiting for the right time to thrust into that black-dyed heart of yours. Every day I look like I am sleepy and dumb (maybe I am) and some weirdo freakshow out of the local/foriegn circus. Barely a handful of you truly know what I am plotting against you. (If you are on my blacklist) I try to let things slide after a while, instead of going all out to ruin your lives like I had used to do. It helps to fade into the walls of the prison of a classroom with that frikking white pillow case of ours. Just let people walk ALL over you, just let people mock you behind your back, just let people walk past you like you are nothing more than thin air. All of us have our limits. Sometimes I just take a knife and fight the urge to just stab myself or run out to kill those bitches. Luckily or unluckily I lack the guts to do it half the time. Blame it on the frikking soft spot residing somewhere in the depths of my blackened soul.
Just when you thought hell was over after catching a cab ride home, your family throws crap at you. Knowing my bloody bond to my family, I know I won't stay mad at them for long. I usually just take it out on myself. Thats what my penknife is for right? Hopefully I will never have to use it. If my sanity holds. I can't shout, I can't cry, I can't slap or punch anyone. All I can do is bottle up all the crap inside and force it to dissipate within me. Time and time again I do that. One day, I will just explode. Nice mental picture. No matter how glamerous our lives are now, we will all die one day. At least God finally made one thing fair. My fking relatives are just useless beyond salvage. I shan't even start ranting about them, most of them are just not worth my time. I gave up trying to think of a reason for not cursing them ages ago. Fking extended family. Its bad enough to have them insult my intelligence, moreover, they insult my physical features. Oh come on. You are not fking perfect either. Come look for me when you have an IQ of 150, are a world-reknown model for top brands and have a husband who is a billionaire. If not, get the fk out of my pathetic life. Yea I am FAT. So? Proves I have more to eat than you all. At least I am priviledged enough to enjoy fine dining in life. Got a problem with that? Fk, I just wasted one minute of my fking life ranting on them. Crap.
I wonder why do I even pray to Gods sometimes. I mean I do appreciate stuff I am 'blessed' with. Yet at the same time, all the fking curses rain on me too. In a way its fair. I am such a bloody perfectionist after all. To get myself out of this craphole, I should just be a millionaire, get a bungalow and an entire floor of a 5/6-star hotel in Orchard, a Ferrari and 5 million at least in my bloody pocket. That should be about enough to get rid of all the people fking up my life, make sure I indulge myself in materialistic pleasures to rid my anger within, and the power to make life hell for those bitches out there. I am spiteful, don't like it, fk off.
Even when you try to rid your minds off the bloody world by gaming, those fking bastards of the world never leave you alone. Even on the fking internet, they torment and jeer at you from behind their monitor screens. Bloody useless spineless cowards. If you really want to find trouble, come meet me. I will be more than happy to lash out at you full force after keeping all the crap inside of me for so long. Why else do I take karate. The joy of bashing people up and getting bashed up just releases all the anger and hatred fuelled by frustration. Bloody noobs in MapleStory SEA and Gunbound WC, if you have the guts, meet me then. If not, don't get in my way, I might just be the one to ruin your lives when I become a millionaire. I hold grudges. Remember that. Call me ITE? Fk yourselves. Come find me once you are the top student of the Ivy League schools, if not get lost. Low IQ? Come on, who the fk of a reasonable IQ goes picking a fight on the INTERNET. Speak for yourselves. Unless you are the reknown bastard of high IQ of the top instituitions, get lost too. Poor? Come on. Unless you have a contract with 6-stars hotels across the world for home stay, or even just living in the 3k-6k square feet houses in Orchard, don't fk with me. An orphan? Insult me, fine, I have a good enough control of the English AND Singlish languages to retort. Insult my family? If you can't take ME on, don't talk about my family. If you are from a broken fked up dump of an excuse of a family, too bad. Boohoo. I am weeping for your misfortune. Don't insult other people without even looking at your own families. What are the chances of you having a PERFECT family? If not, fk off dude, you are not worth my punches or insults. Hopeless? Come on. Unless you have the ability to win me in EVERY aspect of my life, don't come and 'kpkb' with me. (I told you I can use Singlish as well) If you are one of the parasites feeding off taxpayers of the society, when I trace your IP addresses after bypassing the frikking firewalls and servers, watch out. Don't start insulting people without looking back at your own status. Don't know third language? I DON'T NEED to know them. If I had wanted to, I would have learnt Spanish, Jap and French at PRIVATE schools ages ago. You? You don't even know Chinese. Come on, if you are Malay fine. Don't pretend that's your third language then. If you really want to take me on fine. Physically and mentally? Fine. If you have the guts to meet me that is. I waited at the MRT station for you all, no one turned up. Sad right? So much for staying at City Hall, those places have the run-down buildings of the city, what are you, a beggar? Yes I know I have just degraded myself to their level by insulting them back. Do I look like I care? I am in a fking bad mood now. So NO. Next time, I shall invent a machine which allows me to reach into the monitor screen and punch the other person at the other end. End of your insults, end of your irritating whines. Go to hell bastards.
Won't it be nice just to shout to the world how much you hate it? If I could, I bet I would revert to my normal mood soon. Time to put that fking mask on again. Life sucks.

Fever + GRACES Day 3
|| Time: 06:35 p.m. || Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2007||
Yesterday I went to school as usual. My dad didn't even asked if I was ok enough. In fact he slammed the door at my frikking face when I didn't get up. WTF. And it was like I felt horrible and dragged my carcass to school. I was suffering from lack of sleep too since I woke up like 3 times the night before. Before school started all I did was sleep. When the music sounded I dragged myself to the quadrangle and almost fell asleep during flag rising. Dragged myself back up later. Chinese lesson, I didn't even hear a word the teacher said. Not that I care. I don't know why but I felt so irritated with certain people. Must be my short temper. I felt like strangling and hitting some people oh man. I was so frustrated. Math next and it wasn't much better. Not a proper lesson and we were told to go up to comp lab 3. I couldn't take it anymore. I asked to get permission to take sick leave from school. Wasted another 30-45 minutes going through the process of going GO and getting the form, climbing back to the comp lab to give the form to Mr Goh. He even called my mum up to verify before signing it. Then I had to trudge back down to get my stuff and back to GO. Had to locate a DEAN to get his/her permission and that new DEAN asked a million questions before signing oh man. Then I had to return the form and go outside to book a cab. After 15 minutes of flagging, I gave up and booked one. got home, I had to call back GO to make sure I was home. -_-||| Slept extra 5 hours that day and missed tuition haha... Went to the doctor and got 2 day MC inclusive of that day and rested yeap.
I felt fine today ok. I mean I thought my fever was over since it went down yesterday. Woke at 9am and watched some Hong Kong show starring Daniel Wu being a song writer and in a rock band that kind of crap. Continued with the TV spree (inclusive of hourly breaks or my giddy spells would return) of watching Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan. I watched it like a million times but it was still fun watching it. I am such a teen girl. After the show, I started feeling a little weird. The symptoms of the day before returned. Took my temperature and hallelujah, fever was back. -_-||| Tried playing the piano to cool off but with my fingers and hands trembling so much, I hit more wrong notes than right notes. I was too frustrated to continue. Tried Gunbounding which did me a bit of good for and hour since I trashed my opponents no big except for one close shave (1 v 1) with Mammoth, Boomer and Electric mobiles. I rock. Made mum cook some maggie mee for me to settle lunch. Chatting with her for like 2 hours before getting a nap. A phone call woke me up and here I am moody and pissed with a super heavy head and short-tempered along with a sore throat and trembling hands. Fever fking sucks.
Back to the last day of camp. I shall keep it short since my hands are trembling a heck lot. Well it was class dance day so yea. We had breakfast than some last minute practice at the tent next to D'Marquee and class photoes. We did some Nan Zhong Quan thingum which I had forgotten more or less too. Wonder how those in mini skirts did the kicking parts. My class dance was short and it was split into two sections, the Waltz and the Agogo (whatever that is). I was in the latter with Du Jing as my partner. Gek Khim was like the MC and she sounded a little monotonous but oh well. The Waltz people danced to 'Save the last dance for me' while mine was some cheesy chinese song which I have no idea what it is. The latter had to wear class skirt, indian bangles and tie our hair to one side. Super cheesy oh my god. No fking person told me to bring class skirt so I brought my own skirt. Guess what, no one even told me when I wore it to breakfast. Thank god Wu Hong helped me borrow one from her PRC friend and since there were like 10 classes in between our dances so yea. When I wore the school skirt, they were like, oh you got one? I mean come on, no one fking told me even when I wore it to breakfast. Maybe someone smsed me I don't know. But come on I lost my handphone. Thank god I managed to fit into Wu Hong's friend's skirt which was size S. -_-||| Oh man thank god ok, it was short but it still worked. The dance was quite fun. Easy to learn thank goodness since I couldn't make it to most practices or my partner wasn't there. Oh whatever, changed to shorts once the dance was over and the skirt back to the owner while I kept my skirt. Watched the odd classes performances before watching the even ones yea. Some were real good and duh the GEPers ones were out of the box too. Duh my class didn't win. No way man.
We then had some morning tea which I didn't get a chance to take. I dropped one of my earrings I have no idea how. Sad since it was one of my favourites. Oh well, get a new one then. Mrs Wong told us to change to APPROPRIATE attire to go back. I was wondering if shorts were allowed since I didn't want to rush into the toilets again. She told me no. Fine, into NY shorts then. After I came out, we were told NY shorts were too short (wtf, it was SHORTS god darn it) so we had to change again. When I went to take my jeans, she announced jeans were not allowed. I was fuming then. What the fk do you want me to wear then? Shorts not allowed, jeans not allowed. My NY track pants were filthy and it was burning outside so am I supposed to wear my long and rather thick track pants? After I changed to my own track pants, she announced jeans were allowed. I almost went ballistic with rage. I dug my entire nicely packed bags to find my track pants and now you tell me this. Fk it man. We are BREAKING CAMP. Why bother about our attires? Not like we would march in two by two orderly fashion into the bus with poker faces and be considerate and respected members of the society? I mean at least allow us to wear NY shorts, they are part of the uniform right? Why aren't they allowed? I had to pull my track pants over them ok. Fking irritating to run back to the toilet for the 4th time to change.
Mr Kuo showed us some random pictures he took during the camp, mostly of the even classes. The odd classes felt so left out. Yea right. The rest would be screened during the Assembly when school reopened. There was prize presentation and yadayada and debreif and all that crap. We did some survey and yeap time to go home. Finally. I need a long warm bubble bath. My class was like 2nd or 3rd to go so yeap. Sat with Fransisca back to school and we talked about lolita designing and this year's cosfest plans too. Hopefully we can go together haha. Went back to school, had a debrief with Mr Ng and yeap back home. Thank goodness we were early. The parents were all there but the Sec 1s, 2s and 4s weren't completely out yet so yeap. I got a cab easily and went home with aching soles.
Looks like thats all for now. Back to nursing my thorbbing head. *relieved that my fingers won't need to type anymore* Ja na.

GRACES Day 2
|| Time: 03:07 p.m. || Date: Saturday, March 17, 2007||
Oh my frikking goodness gracious me! The darn holidays are almost over already! Curses swears and damnations. I can't believe how quickly time flies. I barely rested and enjoyed myself ok. Barely any homework but thats not the point. Ok back to the camp. Woke at 6.30am. As usual, the last one out of the bed. My roommated had to call me like 3 times before I really got up. Went to breakfast in D'Marquee (sp?) and more briefing especially on the Gala Night later in the day. We had hosting skills by the same instructors as the deportment class the previous day while the other group had games. -_-||| This time, there were male and female instructors there. Each group were supposed to 'win' over the instructors in any way possible. My class being eh... I shall not elaborate. Some people decided to go for the cutest and youngest guy instructor there and when he introduced himself, the class excluding me, started cheering like nuts. O_O. I was at a loss at first wondering what the heck was going on. Well at first he said the main instructor would place him in different groups but then he came to our class instead. -_-||| Duh my class was elated. His name is Gerald by the way. Some girls from the floor had to 'strike a conversation' with the instructors so yea, a lot wanted to go to Gerald too but didn't have the guts. Finally a girl did it and well, cheers for her haha! Since there weren't enough female instructors to go around, my class was stuck with Gerald only. -_-||| We had like this group work thing, in which 3 people were suppose to act a scene, famous person being interviewed. So yea, Wu Hong, Li Feng and I were stuck in a group yea. So rotation and all... And finally done. Some groups were choosen to perform on the stage as well. One group from my class but eheh... nevermind. After that, we were each supposed to write a name of a celeb on a piece of sticky paper and paste it on a friend's forehead. Then a yes or no sticker on our palms. Each of us could ask 3 questions to guess the identity of that person. Fransisca and I exchanged slips and barely anyone knew what hers was! Being an anime fan, thank goodness I guess it! It was Tetsuya Nomura, one of the directors of Final Fantasy Advent Children. Mine was Gwen Stefani yea. I spelt it wrongly since I was thinking about Stephanie Tsui (Primary school friend). I only realised I spelt it wrongly when I pasted it on her forehead *smacks myself*.
So onto lunch and yada yada. Apparently Mrs Wong told the PRCs that they were not allowed to wear home blouses. So many of them rushed back to the rooms (like 5 mins away if its a stroll) to change. Half changed into class tee but the other people told them it was only to be worn the day after for the dance. So poor them had to rush back and change into their dirty Sec 4 Lifeskills Camp shirt which they wore the day before. -_-||| More briefing... Then time for games. It was held in the tent beside D'Marquee. First we had some game in which 20 people were supposed to go onto a mat and flip the mat with everyone still on it. Well my class was 2nd to complete it haha. Not bad. The next was to squeeze as many people as possible into 1/4 of the mat. Since 4/11 had like super little people, they had to squeeze into 1/8 the mat. O_O My class didn't do very well. Oh well. *coughpeoplejustwon'tlistentosuggestionscough* Fking irritating. Oh well, slave through one more year and I am in JC hopefully with nicer people. We then did the airplane toss. My class folded the glider design and well another noob design which barely flew straight. So we scored horrendously. As barely any hit the mark where the catcher were supposed to make the airplane fly through the hoop. For the bonus round, we were supposed to choose an airplane and fly it as far as possible. So well. Eh. We were the worst I think. Lastly, we did the water carry thingy. 10 people spreaded over and supposed to stand on a foot and using one hand, holding a tray and transport the water from the two ends to the midpoint. So my class did the 5 people on each end thing (so did everyone) and we spilt the water once... Before this event, the placings were announced and hallelujah, we were last. No surprise. Surprisingly, we started off slow but finished first in that game. -_-||| Which dragged us to eh either 2nd or 3rd placing. Out of 4/1, 4/5, 4/7, 4/9, 4/11 and 4/13. Not bad eh. We had to cheer during that time so yea. Here is how it goes.
'H E L L O', this is how we say Hello. 4/3 4/3 go go go, 4/3 4/3 says Hello. 'H O T T O G O' 4/3 4/3's hot to go, ssssss... There were actions to it too. The last one was a gun and shooting sound was the sss cause of the fire. Oh well.
Being sweaty and all, we went to practice the class parade and all. Then headed to our rooms to bathe. This time I bathed 2nd since I wanted my hair to naturally dry yet I couldn't bathe first since I had already did that the day before. Took 20 mins to bathe even though those behind me took longer sheesh. I was out by like 4.30pm or so and the dinner was at 7pm. So I had a lot of time for my hair to dry. To kill time, I put my heels on first to get used to them. Apparently it worked since I felt ok in them within the hour. My feet did not ache (yet) as well. After everyone was done, we saw a lot of people changed into their gowns/dresses so we did so as well. First, I had to lightly blow my hair to give it some volume not its like... Flat. After which I put on my dress. It was like 5.45pm then. So all of us but Kai Hui who went visiting and doing makeup in another room, started putting makeup. Since Jiu Ling puts makeup like everytime she goes out, we had help from her. I did purple eyeshadow at first, but the blend was horrid so I had to redo it all. I went to the bathroom to wash it off and found that it spreaded to my entire socket. I had to put a heavy layer of foundation to cover it up. -_-||| I went for blue next and yea it was way easier to use and looked way better. I put on a heavy touch to make it visible in the darkness... Then followed by curling of eyelashes (helped by Li Feng) and mascara, which I surprisingly had little difficulty evening it out. Blusher next though I was afraid I looked like a baboon so I kept putting LITTLE at a time. Took me ages. Finally, a little dab of raspberry lip gloss to finish it up! Grabbing my camera, shawl and handphone, I was ready to go! Did I mention Cherry visited my room and she looked like wow. I was like WTF and I am walking beside you for the parade?! *dies*
Finally the Gala Night. All of us strutted to D'Marquee acting like celebs only to get weird stares from the people we past. Heck. Found my table which I was sitting with Jia Yin, Wu Hong and Kai Hui and 3 other 4/4 people one of which was Hui Xian from my Ningbo 06 EOY trip. The guest at my table was Lynette Seow's mum. *faints* So much for stranger. I knew her since Primary school when I attended Lynette's party. So had no problems conversing with her although I bet Lynette couldn't recognise me since Secondary school since her mum couldn't either. -_-||| The dinner started! Cold appetizers first, pasta. >_< (few strands so it was fine) 4/6 was the first class to go! O_O! Beck and Natan were the leading pair too HAHAHA *snaps picture*. Did I mention Rebecca was behind my table sitting just behind me! -_-||| So the parade started! Classes went up and showcased how glamarous each of them could be. It was fun to watch. The GEPers' parades were interesting (duh), makes me wonder how life would be in those classes hmmm... The mushroom soup came next (tasted like mushroom to me) and my class was fretting since we weren't called yet and it was main course after that! There was an interval between the soup and the main course in which the MC (Mr Paul Tan wow) announced there would be games. We had to look for the Biggest something (Smile), Straightest something (Posture) and Sexiest something (Hello. OMG. -_-|||) (Hope I didn't miss any out) Bao won the last one with her sexy deep voiced Hello which she practices so often in class and during CCA. She even added a body wave to spice it up. Jaqueline lost to her even. Miss Confidence, Personality and Graceful were voted for as well. We had finalists in all three (Estelle, Ying Ting and Cherry respectively) but only Estelle took the title back. It was time for the next round of class parade. My class was up next. So we just stood there and made our way to the stage and all. Thank god I didn't trip. X_X I almost did when I came down the stairs since the stairs were horrendously slippery. Did I mention Beck slipped? X_X But she made quite a nice coverup so people didn't even realize she tripped. O_O. Cool. I ought to ask her to teach me that. Oh my parade was in the middle of the Main course. Most of us didn't touch it until after the parade for fear of the extra inches around our waists haha! After which all of us plopped down happily and gobbled it up. (Heck to dining ettique, most forgot about it anyway although I carried on painfully with it until the end of the dinner *poor me*) After dessert of some cake was served, we 'excused ourselves' and took pictures with our friends! I missed the 4/3 picture though since I was taking 2/3 05 pictures -_-|||. After that we took CCA pictures (Sera popped into one thinking it was a 2/3 05 picutre LOLZ) and pictures with Mr Greog Goh (Beck wanted me to accompany her T_T), Mr James Tan (Beck again) and Mr Paul Tan (My LA teacher so I didn't mind) OH OH he took my dare and went to paint his nails OMG! I challenged him to put on at least a bit of makeup and he did, nails. Not too striking but still he took it. He was the MC too. He made remarks about the girls he knew who went on stage haha. Thank god not me whahahaha! I should upload the pictures soon. ^^ A band from the GEPer classes (inclusive of Lynette) went to perform on stage too. We were still taking pictures. Then the teachers spoilt it all by like telling us to shoo back to our rooms since we must be 'respectable and considerate members of society' *pukes and sniggers*
Being nice girls (GERS), we went back. Outside, we took class pictures and yeap. I took some more with Rou Hui, Yi Ting (Z) and Cheryl. Beck and I wanted to find Mr Khong but only found him OUTSIDE after we were shooed out, we almost strangled him since we couldn't find Mrs T Wong too! Outside our rooms, toko some pictures with Fransisca and her roommates too. For me and Frannie, we took one of us hugging the pillar LOLZ. And she made me take one of Mr Kuo who WON'T smile. I have it for all who want it, just msn or sms me. Wanted to go visiting but my feet were killing me so yeap. Went back to the room, took the shoes off and rubbed our aching soles before washing off the makeup and changing up. I was in the toilet when Mr Ng came to our romo checking if everyone was here. He found out that Hui Yi exchanged rooms with Li Feng but surprisingly he didn't blow up. O_o He just told us to inform him next time. We did before the camp only to have him spend 50% of our Chem lesson lecturing us. O_O! He almost didn't believe I was in the bathroom till I came out. SHEESH. All of us hit the sack by like almost midnight lolz!
Ok that was even more typing. >_< Continued ANOTHER TIME. HOPEFULLY. So that was all for Day 2. ^^ Ja na~! *hands, fingers, throat, head, eyes, thighs aching, hallelujah*

GRACES Day 1
|| Time: 03:14 p.m. || Date: Thursday, March 15, 2007||
Followed by eh what was that... Ah, the MAKEUP session. We went back for lunch first though and I was like O_O to all those even classes people lolz! Some look real different in makeup haha! Not hinting onto anything either. It seems like a mixing with PRC camp to me lolz. For some reason at different days or events, I would float to different people settle there and warm my bum and move away. -_-||| Thanks a lot personality change. So we set at some weirdo place with like mirrors for everyone and makeup in front of us. A lady in front from ZA cosmetics company introduced the basics of makeup to us all. (We were allowed to us their makeup provided, maybe thats why I got new pimples oh crap).
First came the basics, foundation. The instructor went around choosing colors for all of us. I ended up with 22, which almost everyone else had. So we had fun putting a lot of foundation on too. -_-||| Using our hands. Did I mention we were supposed to test the color of the foundation on our NECKS and not our hands since the color is different? Then came the eye. Eyeshadow that is. We each choose a base color and were taught how to spread it across our eyelids for the daytime simple look. (If I had wanted that, I would just dab some gloss and sunblock and went out.) Being the 'inquisitive' girl I am, I went to play with a base and a highlight color. Of course, blue as base, light blue as highlight. Then I decided it wasn't visible enough, and took white to add on to it. Oh did I mention we could only use our 3rd and 4th 'cosmetic fingers' since they were not as harsh as the index finger? -_-||| I would use a BRUSH sheesh. Then came the curling of eyelashes (surprisingly my eyelashes are more curled than before even now -_-) and mascara. Once more, I went for a PURPLE mascara instead of the BLACK one. Hoho. -_- I looked fine don't worry. I put makeup before (with help from my mum). Mr PT came to our table and watched us 'experiment' on our eyelashes. Apparently, during one year, HE PUT MAKEUP ON HIMSELF. I was like WTH I MISSED IT. -_-||| It would have been hilarious! Oh and what else hmmmm.... He was like commenting on our 'skills' of makeup as well. Thou shalt not go into details. -_-||| Second lastly. we placed on blusher, again with our hands. -_-||| My fingers were starting to looks like an amateur artist's. Thank god I didn't look like a baboon's bottom (no insult Jo ^^;;). Finalllllllyyyyyy. It was time for lip gloss. We once more used our fingers for it -_-|||. Oh well, overall it wasn't too bad a look. ^^
Whoa what a long post. -_-||| I shall continue about the next day tomorrow. We went to check in and bathe yadayada. I was in the room 1316 with Kai Hui, Jiu Ling and Li Feng yea... And I was the first to bathe since my hair would take ages to dry. Did I mention I brought my lovely pink hairdryer along? We were connected to 1317 with Jamie, Jia Hui, Chu Yi and Eleanor yeap. ^^ Lucky us eh. We had no trouble visiting! My class's theme was like. BLACK blouse with jeans and like indian bangles. (Fashion disaster if you ask me). But hey, we looked normal. Not hinting onto anything again. ^^ We watched performances by talented drummers and dancers too. Some of us had outside guests at our table. My table had Mr Lim Kok Boon though haha. He was the one who helped us finish the Malay Extravaganza quiz too though we didn't win awww. We ate Malay food from the buffet with our hands, which I dare say I am not too bad at only that the food went into my nails T_T and I didn't have my nail set with me! Took pictures with Grandpa who was one of the models for the Malay outfits haha. She was one of the MCs too I think. We washed our hands via a cute teapot and a basin thingum below. (Plastic, not too classy eh.) Since our teapot lid wasn't properly closed, we tried to push and push it in. Though we failed miserably. Only Mr Lim managed to use his strength gained from NS training and forced it in. My friend wasn't too happy so she painfully took it out, and tried to place it back in again. She couldn't do it. Figures.
We went to have Malay mass dance where we learnt the 5 basic dance patterns of the dance. There were 3 male and 1 female instructor. The lady was so graceful! I felt like an elephant in ballet shoes. -_-||| Oh well, had fun learning, I can't help boasting I managed to learn the steps easily whahahaha! Great improvement from my usual lagness LOLZ! I saw this 4/15 girl was was crossing her arms and looked around in disgust. -_-||| Figures. We had class picture taken with our form teacher (who was surprisingly in a good mood during the camp) and a debrief. We finished the latter like early thus we could take pictures. ^^ Went to take pictures with friends after that. Natan, Beck, Grandpa, Bao and Fausty. I DIDN'T GET TO TAKE WITH YI MIN! T_T Her pirate costume was t3h int3r3sting! (OMG what a pain to type that way) Went back to the room to change and cleanup, then Jamie, Frannie and I hit the Cheers store for some snacks. Poor Frannie was alone in her room so she decided to come over! ^^ Sleepover LOLZ. Walked around for a while then back into the room. The people next door came over too and watched some drama series which I have 0 interest in. So I ended up falling asleep halfway through and slept till the next day. ^^ Did I mention I was sleeping closest to the aircon and backdoor? X_X On the mattress thingum. Ew. Dusty much.
Ok that was a lot of typing. >_< Continued tomorrow? HOPEFULLY. So that was all for Day 1. ^^ Ja na~!

I haven't watched ANY new anime in AGES. Its amazing I know. Although I did manage to get my bum down to drawing and writing in my scarce idle time... Speaking of which I have yet to code the new layout I made hmm.... Should I post it up on net as a paid layout or should it be free? If its paid, I can earn extra bucks. If not, I just do it for fun and enjoy seeing people use it. Hmmm. Decisions decisions.
Had a conversation with a friend whom I haven't chatted with for months yesterday night. We talked till like 1.20am or so. And yes, it was a school night. But we just rattled on and on and on and apparently for my friend, he had never spoken on the phone for more than 1 hour at a go. Poor dude. Oh well, 1.5-2hours is not really that long... You should see how eaily I do that with a mass conversation anyway. Chatted about hows school, debate on perspective of life as well as optimisism... Argued about social issues... Yeap. It was fun. If I had to go to school today, I would so totally had missed out on all the fun!
OH OH OH! I LOVE the vampire (romance, thriller, action too hehe) series written by the aithor Stephenie Meyer! Prequel -- Twilight (mine is the UK cover version) and Sequel -- New Moon. Its SO COOL. The storyline totally captivated me as well as the characters! Especially the few main characters. The twists and turns helped too! The description just left me hungry for more. I craved for a thrid book since the sequel left me feeling rather unsatisfied. >_< Pray that there will be one! PLEASE!
Oh damn it. I so got to go to school again soon. I need to pass some dman CD to the teacher. I did up the website and everything and they had to make me redit all the crap. WTH. Its my style. Its my description. Hello. Barely anyone helped me and 3 people were supposed to. Thanks a lot.
Off that bloody topic. That does it. I am going on a diet. -_-||| Don't ask why.

Anyway I probably have more to update on tomorrow, since for now all I have to do is to start on the menancing pile of homework threatening to devour me anytime. How pleasent. Anyhow, chanaged the blog layout. I just had a brainwave for an idea for the layout so yea, I decided to do something like this. But the problem was what theme to base it on. Then it struck me. MY HITSUGAYA-KUN!!!! I wanted to base it off Tao Ren first but Toshirou-kun waited too long so here is a layout dedicated to him and him only (not forgetting me too). This layout too me less than half a day to make. Very surprising. Yet the effects are quite up to scratch if I do say so myself. And I have to say, I've had too much pink recently so yea. This layout should be here for a while, until I managed to get my butt down to reviving the blog AND redoing another layout again. Afterall, damn school work is hitting me repeatedly on my head.
Good news people. For me at least. I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN MY BRACES OFF! OMG!!! Its been 2 and a half years and finally they are off! W00t! I mean I do miss them (especially smiling at Mrs Ng with my mouth full of hot pink bands) but I am just glad my teech are straight and they would be A HELL LOT easier to take care of now. YAY ME!
Ok to end off this short post, I just wanted to say...THIS LAYOUT IS NOT TO BE REPRODUCED ANYWHERE AND IT IS NOT TO BE EDITTED OR ALTERED IN ANY WAY WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
Ja~

Well so had a group Ningbo meeting this Thursday outside the Chinese Dept. Yea yea I was late thanks to the last minute problems I encountered with the cd with selected photos yea. Oh well thanks to a cab ride, left house at 10am, (supposed to be there by 10am), reached at around 10.08am or so. Woohoo. Even lao shi was surprised. After all she called 5 minutes before 10am and was like what are you still doing at home. Opps. Not. Oh well. Had briefing on what to do for the website for the trip and information of collaboration with the ppt group. After which lazed around for a while yada yada and duh, collected both my IC (I went to collect in September but it wasn't ready and my birthday is like, JUNE?!) and my report book. Thank God my average is finally an A. After finally getting my butt down to studying this year, I finally hit an A. Woohoo. Looks like my grades are finally improving. Better be straight As next year! Yea!
Decided to have lunch together before going home so a few of us went out. Sadly Yi Min had to go home to have lunch and Hsui Fan was being a goody gal so she went home too. Darn it she had a 73% as an average with like almost straight As. *KILLS her T_T* I guess Yi Min wanted to start on the Hunter X CDs I lent her (Ooppss, apparently I missed out one box, giving it to her like on CCA meeting day. Gomen!) too. She was like squealing and totally estatic! Angela managed to trick her coach by saying the meeting did not end until 12nn when her training time is up and went out with us.
So we went to the bus stop and we were still debating on where to go. Finally decided to hit off to Orchard, Scotts food court. So almost got on the wrong bus (we needed to hitch a ride on 174, not 154) and waited quite a while. Met the Jiao Da Beijing group too. Argh, I shan't bitch now. Fianlly got onto a double decker 174 and went a long way to Orchard. We sat at the back of the upper story of the bus and had a lot of fun chatting and making noise and seeing others stare at us. -_-||| I totally hate going out in uniform oh well.
Went to the food court and wow-whee, couldn't make up our minds. A few of us decided to have some hotplate (I chose tofu and mushies after copying Angela), others ban mian etc. Had dessert after that too! I wanted almond jelly with mixed fruits, and they gave my ice jelly wtheck. Another 4 of them went to have ice kachang and I helped eat the corn (they all hate the corn T_T). So we shared the desserts and finally someone decided that we should all go to my house. -_-||| To me its ok but oh well, I didn't prepare any food for them. Sadly Sai had to go back to school for GuZheng practice so yea. So me didn't want to walk home but they insisted so yea. We were all hot and sticky after the fifteen to twenty minutes walk.
Finally home sweet home. Played Uno Attack and Bridge for like the entire time there before some chatting and volleyball using my poor doggy T_T. Not much but oh well, had fun chatting and just chilling out. That was about it yeap. Having 7 people come visit on a short notice is rather interesting though. Oh well, I was down with a fever for the two days before the Thrusday. So I had to miss the Clean and Green Week and stay home and had a torturous facial. -_-||| I still shudder when I think about how painful it was in like ages T_T! Ok that should be about it for now.

What can I say, the worst time of the year is coming. Approaching like a foreboding storm, clouding the once happy and carefree (note the sarcasm here) atmosphere. The menacing growl from afar, signaling to us the end of those wonderful days. Sigh. How I dread exams. They just make me want to jump off a cliff or something. I mean look at it this way. Who the heck wants to slave away 1/3 of their PRECIOUS LIFE (oh the irony) studying and missing out on all the other meaningful and enriching things one can indulge in? Sigh. Be gone you wicked devil, thou shalt abolish exams one day... Unfortunately, that day is just not today.
I should be, mark the word SHOULD, mugging till the wee hours of the morning for exams. With my current horrible grades, it seems like the right thing to do. The techers are pestering us to do so after all, but I mean if THEY wouldn't drown us in homework and SIAs, we would be mugging now. Thanks a lot. Oh boy, SIAs, just go to hell. Rot and burn in the hungry flames leaping up in wicked joy to engulf your entire soul. GIVE ME A BREAK ALREADY. I NEED A VACATION. PLEASE. Just like maybe one day to totally be disconnected from those hounds which we all acknowledge as teachers. Just one day to have the word "homework" disappear from my vocabulary. Just one day to be able to sleep in late and wake up without any worries. Just one day for me to do whatever I want to do. In my dreams. Maybe I really should dream about it tonight...
I should just go onto a lighter note now. -_- Before I drown myself in self-pity and sarcasm. Yesterday my CCA went to the Labrador Park for coastal clean-up CIP. Overall it was pretty fun and everything. HCI, RI and NYGH were involved in this CIP and the ratio was well... 5:7:17 if I am not wrong. *coughsadlywith2guyschoolgirlsstilloutnumbertheguyscough* Yeap. Beck and I decided to wear ehhh shorts instead of berms (since I totally didn't want to dirty my darling berms) and oh well, turns out her shorts = short berms and my shorts = well, shorts. Oh well. Mr Kong didn't say a thing even though I was a nice girl and did bring an extra pair of berms in case he went balistic and started raving and ranting on the image of NY girls (not GERS since his pronunciation is rather up to standard). Beck and I brought our cameras too to capture nice images and perhaps ideas for the photography competition. Oh and we took a picture before setting off too! ^^ If you want it you can tell me yea.
Set off to the park after like 10pm or something since Lotte-lee (LERT-LEE) was rather, you can say, early. Over there, we were made to ehhh...Have an icebreaker or something along those lines. And using Mr Kong's idea of girls in a circle surrounding the guy circle in the middle...It seems more intimidating rather than of a casual and friendly atmosphere I would rather have. Didn't shake hands like Mr Kong wanted us to but that was enough. I doubt anyone actually managed to remember all the names but we did TRY. Oh did I forget to mention Beck was already on a high?
Everyone had like a pair of gloves and 2 to one trashbag as we went around collecting garbage. Surprisingly, the beach was RELATIVELY clean. Wanted to pick shells since I didn't know that it was prohibited but oh well, got pwned by Beck and Mr Kong oh well... Did the cleanup with Yi Min and we immediately saw a huge pile of plastic and more plastic under the first section of the bridge. "Waded" in and extracted them from the sand and leaf litter and proceeded to find more. The next section however, was LITTERED WITH SPIDER WEBS. *inserts ZOMG, GROSS and DISGUSTING here* Yi Min of course rushed up to get a closer look at them and well, I stayed FAR, FAR, FAR (and I do mean FAR) away from them. Though I allowed Yi Min to use my camera to take snapshots of them, I shuddered when I had to look through them before I could look at the other pictures. The pictures were TOO clear, too REAL. *shivers* Oh well, I delete the 3 photoes of spiders from my camera AND computer so if you want to view them, just ask Yi Min... >_< We managed to pick up plastic plastic and more plastic. On the way, we saw a lot of nice looking and pretty shells and overall since the beach was rather clean, it allowed me to take some rather beautiful snapshots. The corals washed up were of a rather intricate design as well, each one captivating me with its own beauty. Beck and I also decided to pick up glass bits (pretty ones) to recycle and use them. Oh well, Beck picked most of them, Mini-Me too so yea. I had VERY little. -_- I took snapshots of those different shells and had to RESIST and RESIST and RESIST the temptation of picking them up. At least the pictures did capture PART of their beauty...
Juniors found like some weird fishing hook thingy with a dummy fish attached and showed it to Yi Min and me. At first we sort of screamed as it looked like a real dead fish and all but once we found out it was a dummy, I calmed down, but Yi Min didn't. Instead she shooed them away and started to get freaked out in case she sees or find a fish anywhere. Nice place for us I guess, me hating insects and she hating fishes... = sandwiched in the middle of the beach not close to the sealine or to the trees... >_<. Found some strings stuck in the sand and I tried to pull them out but oh well, only managed to do so for one out of 3 of them. Found even more near the edge of the beach leading to the other side with rocks and all. The strings or rather raffia were tied around the branches of the tree thus we had to yank them out... Plastic which was seriously ummm wet and soggy and easily teared too. Turns out the guys umm, managed to find a sanitary pad and yea. It was pretty gross for them I guess since they are umm, guys and everything... Unlucky I guess though thankfully I didn't see it.
Gathered back at the front of the beach to see our collection and well, it was rather little as compared to other really DIRTY beaches *coughyiochukangbeachcough*. But it was overall, rather fun and I am KINDA looking forward to some more beach cleanups. Hopefully we can pick up more interesting items. Took another overall photo again (since the first one was at NYGH and some of the guys met us at the beach itself) and yeap went back to the base. While Fausty and Beck went off to take the photo for the competition... -_-|||. HCI guy-in-charge shared with us their future projects and while RI's teacher did the same. Mr Kong helped us elaborate on ours and express interest in some of the activities which did not clash or come too close with our exams. A little more like time spent slacking and to go washroom etc and back to outram MRT.
Bao, Fausty, Beck, Karrot and I decided to go downtown to well let loose and have lunch. Headed over to Far East Plaza to do window shopping and let Karrot get her book. Bao and I went to do window shopping while the remaining 3 went to the bookshop which was small and all I have to admit... Bought 3 hairbands which I really need urgently and ended up almost broke since I didn't know we would be shopping so I didn't bring more cash, and found a nice store selling cool japanese style clothes from Japan! A little on the expensive side like the prices of Esprit and Mango so I thought it wasn't worth it since the latter 2 shops did have cooler designs which suited my personality more. Had lunch at Burger King where everyone but me took the discount coupon (since what I wanted wasn't there) and oh well. I was bloated enough to last me throughout the day. ^^;; After brunch, I decided to walk home since number 1, I was broke, number 2, far east was so close to my house and it saves the trouble of boarding the MRT, and number 3, I had a piano lesson to catch. The rest went over to Kinokuniya (sp?!) and yea. Went home, fell asleep till 2.40pm and woke up for piano. Thats about it for yesterday. Spent the rest of the day doing the Maple Siggy for the Forum Siggy Maple Contest. Mine is in the animated catergory even though I wouldn't mind static haha. Hope I can win it! ^^
Not too bad right? Anyway thats all for my super long post and finally updating after forever. Ciao.

|| Time: 08:21 p.m. || Date: Monday, July 17, 2006||
Generally, today wasn't that bad a day. Though I keep wondering why can't I have one night of peaceful sleep without waking up at least a million times before my dad wakes me up. Its totally irritating. Also, I need to fix up my website now that I have a reliable enough website host with me. I still need to fix some stuff up as well. Speaking of websites, I am up to my neck with homework and projects. One thing I can say. DIE DAMMIT YOU BLASTED HOMEWORK. Excuse me. Discussed with my tuition teacher the "Zen" idea. To me, its just a nice thought. There is almost no way in which I could attain that level yet. In such a busy society, no way uh-uh. I need to continue my hectic life and continue my quest to the extreme top. And make myself have a luxurious lifestlye. Thats me. Oh did I mention we had to opt for sabbaticals today? I chose the Flash + Photoshop one naturally. And I didn't have to rush for the computers thanks to my dad who helped me. ^^
Anyway, can't think of anything else to say now. So.... Ja ne~

Oh snap, I am feeling sleepy already. Maths test the day after tomorrow and I have 0 confidence in it since I tried the stupid pretest. I am so damn worried about bearings and the way to draw graphs all that crap. I'll revise after this before I pull all my beautiful hair out on the day of the test. Hope I don't flunk it, must get like 4x/50 this time. If not I won't hit A1 damn it. Hope I can pull my bloody grades up. If not I am worse than a roasted chicken in the middle of a pack of hungry rabied wolves. Hallelujah to the world.
On the bright side, I got a ton of new shoes. No blouses or skirts or pants but oh well. Now I have like 10 pairs of shoes so yeap. -_- I can never have too many of them. I totally love shopping. Probably watching Pirates of the Carribean tomorrow (heck the spelling). Hope we can get tickets ok. -_- Its so damn popular that even I am stumped when I saw how fast the tickets were sold. And maybe I am getting new earholes tomorrow as well. I am sick of 2, I want 5 now. 2 is so darn boring. I need something to spice up my life once in a while. I guess I am being totally unreasonable but do I look/sound like I care? I never did. I have a serious attitude problem after all. Sheesh. I need to shop more often...I am bored out of the little wits I have left just stoning at home and doing mundane tasks like homework.
I LOVE BLEACH!!!!! Totally!!! Its like my favourite current anime now. Sanzo-sama can take a break after like so many years of me fangirling to him. Its time for Hitsugaya Toushirou Taicho!!! >_< Jyu ban kai taicho...Sugoi ne... >_< BISHIE ALERT!!!! X______X Ok, I am so fangirling. Its not something I do often while blogging so be honoured. He is so coooooooooooool. Pun intended. I mean look at him. He is quite young and all, and he has a totally awesome shinkai and bankai. If I could have them...Mwhahahaaha... And he is like the youngest and most homourest taicho there...Even his co-taicho is kinda afraid of him ok!!! That silly Matsumoto Rangiku...LOLZ. Also that Ichigo....>_< HOTTIE TOO!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! He is like main of the main character yet I can't find a reason not to be hooked onto him!!! Outcast (kinda) + rebel + cool + "wsie" etc...HE DARN REMINDS ME OF SANZO IN HIS LOOKS SOMETIMES TOO. Same with Byakuya taicho...ARGH. Bleach is full of bishies. >_< Ok I shall stop fangirling before I get Kon thrown at me. *inserts insults by Kon here*

More tales...
|| Time: 08:28 a.m. || Date: Friday, June 16, 2006||
On the second day, we decided to set the start of our visit later due to the fact that all of us were horrible at waking up in the morning. However, we were slightly above 30 minutes late still. ZZZ. Went to visit the Great Wall. It LOOKED easy to climb but however, it was terror when you attempted it. The steps were uneven and steep and tourists kept pushing each other around (on the steps) so it wasn't the most enjoyable. Climbed like 3 stories then decided to stop. (bro complaining, dad's knees were feeling the strain and my cough is getting worse) so yea. Had to stop. Took 30 minutes to climb up to there though. Not too bad. There were people selling fake certificates to those who climbed the Wall at the 2nd story zzz. We were only supposed to get the GENUINE one when we climb all 13 stories up and over the rocky paths of the mountains. Some people specially went on a training spree before climbing the wall so as to conquer it. Wow. A bit of a waste of time and energy butI guess the reward is always sweet. Went for lunch at this duck restaurant after that. We had their Peking/Beijing Duck which was quite delightful (ate quite a bit of that) and their Thai-styled fish head (finally something spicy) wasn't too bad too. It was a great meal and we decided to set off once more. This time, we went to the Summer Palace. It was ok and all, covered quite a big area which is 70%+ covered by this huge lake (which we took a dragon boat on it to the other side after waiting for close to 45 minutes for it to take off). Went to take some pictures and everything (the architecture was more or less the same) yeap. Nothing much, just the different architectures and all. And after that we decided to call it a day. The next day was reserved for half day worth of shopping. The first part of the day we went to this famous temple in which the king used to visit and stay last time. There were a lot of different gods in the different buildings lined in a horizontal manner. The last building consisted of a 3 stories high wood carving of the Buddha done by one single tree trunk. Wonder how they managed to get it in. Later part of the day, had lunch then decided to go shopping. We were brought to this super expensive mall with all the branded stuff but thank goodness we still managed to find good offers. (bought a pair of knee length pants which my mum copied as well from this shop which sells stuff like Samuel and Kelvin's style). Later part of the day, we sent Grandad back to the hotel for some rest while we went to see this acrobatic show and as usual mum got into trouble/arguement with some of the people in the audience (what can I say about China people?). The performers consisted of teenagers around my age performing acrobatic stunts like tightrope tricks, balancing acts, flexibility stunts etc. Overall it was quite enjoyable yeap. And with a meal at the Cantonese restaurant again, that was our last full day at Beijing. The next day, we checked out of our hotel at 10am and went to the airport only to find that our 1pm flight was delayed like 5 hours. And after that 5 long gruelling hours of stoning in the louge with nothing to do and some stupid China guy who keeps hogging the computer and made some stupid moves on the Weiqi board, we could finally board. At least at the airport around 1.5 hours before we boarded the plane, we went to this official Beijing Olympic shop and bought the stuff toys of the Beijing 2008 Mascots >_<. Kawaiiiii ne? XD. On the plane, waited another freakin' 1 hour before the plane took off. Worse thing was that we boarded and everything was in place. Just that we weren't taking of and not told why and how long more. Sheesh. Thats why I always fly SIA. -_-||| Horrible the awareness of the staff om China Southern. Finally reached Da Lian at 7.30pm. Was in a super cranky mood. Had dad's good friend to pick us up from the airport all the way to our hotel. Da Lian indeed had changed drastically from the past. The old dusty no-proper roads at some places and dark place has become like Singapore 30 years or so ago which is considered quite ok. Stayed at the Shangri-la there. Architecture and all was interesting, live music haha. Had dinner with dad's old collegue who was tranfered to Da Lian for work yea. We were late thanks to the flight delay but oh well. Chatted a little after dinner in the coffee house there and called it a night in the end.
I will tell the Da Lian one another time zzz. I need a break. Freakin' hell. My darn mum keeps scolding the f***ing hell out of me for no damn reason. Does she have a freakin' problem? Fine, I will just move out of the house and jump down the building and hopefully won't survive and that will be her worst regret. Every f***ing small thing she must make a fuss over. For goodness sake, stop making a mountain out of a molehole. Damn. I am frikkin' pissed off now. From yesterday till now thanks to her HORRENDOUS memory and had to blame it all on me. Its not my f***ing problem that you can't remember and that I have to study or I will lose to all my freakin' cousins and you will freakin' nag and scold and shout again. WTF? You are freakin' ruining my freakin' hard-earned holiday. I can never get a damn peace of mind with you around. F***.

Testing again

Not too bad if I do say so myself. Haha. Ok I shall continue with my trip.
Beijing
Took a domestic flight there. Not bad. Got upgraded to the best class. Slept most of the way (the aircraft looked horrendously old by the way) before I woke up just in time to arrive in the dirty, dusty and old Beijing. I guess in some ways it is better than Shanghai but not in most. I am an urban city gal so yea. As much as I love to appreciate architecture.... I still need shopping and etc. Yea. Managed to get on a cab in the hectic airport and only to find out the cab took us to a 3-4 star hotel with almost the same chinese name as the hotel we were supposed to go to. Had to take another cab to the correct hotel. And it was called... The Pennisular Palace. Nice name, expensive... A coffee there cost like... How much?! A tea break costs $60, a breakfast over $100 (US), dinner, over $200 (US). And yet my dad didnt tell us any of these and just brought us to all the buffets there etc! I was so shocked when I "stole" the reciept from his pocket. I mean that kinda money can get me how many pairs of mng or levi's jeans!!! ARGH! And its such a waste to spend it all at a go on just food which isn't the best (sometimes I prefer simple coffee shop food). ARGH! Though the buffet there is very high class and all and there is quite a wide selection of dishes... But the price is horrendous. A laundry there (my mum and bro needed new clothes but I didn't since I brought 8 sets...) costs close to another $150 US. I almost fainted. All that money down the drain in 4-5 days?! WTH?! And the buffet dinner was on the first night...We ate at a Cantonese restaurant which is reasonably priced just 2 blocks away (and for 3 nights in a row so we became "regular" customers so everyone there knew who we were XD) Anyway, had a private tour guide to bring us to all the different places in Beijing. And a SUV to bring us around too. But sadly since I love to sleep...We keep making the tour guide wait for like 30mins to 1hr since we got to have breakfast and take our medication. XD First day, we went to the Forbidden City. Saw all the structures in there but not much "treasures" left since most are in the other Forbidden city or museums in other countries. The designs were PAINTED on!!! X_X I never knew that! I always thought they were CARVED. -_-||| I felt so cheated. The marble cravings on the stairs were amazing. So pretty! If anyone wants to see some shots, you can msn, sms, email me XD. And there is always a big door for the king to walk through (which we all walked through) XD. Better to be a civilian now then king then! XD We live a much better and free life as compared to those poor dudes. Bought ice water there. And I mean ICE. It was frozen. Great for a long hot day. There were a lot of people there and well some parts of the palace was under construction thanks to Beijing 2008 Olympics. Went for lunch at a reasonably price restaurant. Food wasn't bad too! The tour guide and driver joined us for a meal too. After that was the Temple of Heaven. Where the kings goes there to pray for good harvest etc every year. It was quite big. And sadly the pagoda was under renovation works thanks to the Olympics again. Sheesh. And it was closed (past visiting hours) so yea. Had to squuuuuuuuuuueeeeeezzzzzeeeeeee my way to the front for all the attractions to snap nice and good shots. ZZZ. And that was all for that day.
ZZZ, I'll continue tomorrow. My hand is aching thanks to the post I made on another blog about Si Auntie. You can view it here. Yeap. Till my next post. Sayonara!

Yeap. I am back from the trip. I am feeling ok. Believe it or not, I have yet to recover COMPLETELY from my horrible fever/cold/flu/illness/sickness/flu bug whatever. I am still coughing occasionally and sniffing my head off. What can I say. I am totally snapped from 10 days dragging my almost half dead body in China (well for the first 5 days at least). And not to mention no maple!!! T_T For somoe absoulutely atrociously painstakingly don't-know-what reason... MAPLE CAN'T WORK ON THE LAPTOP!!! Curses and swears. -_-|||. My bro was angry as well. Sigh. We are kinda computer/internet/MMORPGs/Maple/WoW etc etc addicts. What can I say. I brought along a CHINESE storybook! T_T Big mistake. Looking and hearing Mandarin every single day for the past 10 days as well as speaking it to everyone but your family members...Makes you seriously sick of the language (since Chinese was never my strong subject/language anyway). I guess I did manage to get more comfortable using Chinese in speech though. After all, every cloud has its silver lining yea? ^^;;
Ok, what did t3h m3l do on her trip? Let's see...Went to bustling and sandy and chaotic Shanghai for the first 3 days, followed by the dirty and dusty and polluted Beijing for the next 4 days and finally the relatively better as compared to the first two countries and cool (weather) and seafood filled Da Lian for the remaining 3 days. Yeap. Not much but it was long enough. Last year's close to 18 days of hopping around in the States kinda wore me down permenantly (since I was hopping around in the cool San Fransico morning in nothing much shorts and a racerback...)... Good enough this trip I say. Might hop on over to Genting if I have the time (Damn all homework, throw fire and burn them!!!) to let go before the stuuuuuupid school reopens. I dread school nowadays. Wonder why. Not too fond of my class aterall and whether you believe it or not, I am losing sleep because I worry about my stupid SIAs and projects (even during the trip). Damn homework. Why can't there be NO homework? Sheesh. Irritating me to the bone. I have yet to start on any. And I am FORCING myself to not I will never get a good night's rest until I do. And usually that is at the end of the holidays when I am rushing all my homework to the bone. It's so irritating ok! T_T I seriously hate such a life. All of you who know me well should know that I am a born slacker and will continue to be unless there is something really HUGE at stake. Onto happier things.
Shanghai
What on earth did I do there? First day...(read the pervious post) The next day went out for dinner at this mall or something with my aunt and uncle (appetite was slightly better), Before that, we visited all the popular sights in Shanghai. And not to mention, the taxi drivers there are HORRENDOUS. I was so shocked when I first known that the vehicles ALWAYS have the right of way, and the people do not. -_-||| Its a crazy road out there. And the air was horrid. Sand in my face. Sand on my skin. Sand on my clothes. Thanks a lot Gobi Desert. -_-||| Saw the famous towers and the entire stretch of river? XD. Took like around...2x shots there. At night we went to see the high life of the Shanghai people (youngsters). It was like a little bar like place...No no no...How do I put it...Like this little place, with nice malls, way better street conditions, a lot of young people...Like our Clark Quey (sp?)yeap. And I have yet to see anyone with white hair on the streets there. It was full of life once the sun sets and till the sun rises. Music, expensive bars, expensive shops, midnight shows...I have to admit it, I like it there. If I were to life in Shanghai, it would be city area and hanging out at that little place at night. X_X Or shopping. Next day went shopping. Bought some little earrings and necklaces and 2 pairs of cheap but relatively nice shoes. Didn't get to go to the huge malls though. We just went to the small shops like those we can find in Lucky Plaza and bargained our way through. And I realised. Always state the price BELOW half the original price. Not it is immediately sold to you when you can bargain down like 70 rmb out of 90 of the original price. Crazy. Interesting though. Boat ride next. Went round and round and I fell asleep (the medicine did it -_-|||) and woke up just before it landed at the pier. Fun though. Rock and rock and rock like a GIANT cradle. XD. Thats about all we did in Shangahi. Sightseeing 85% of the time, shopping 5% of the time, dining with dad's friends or own relatives 10% of the time. Yeap.
Ok, the Beijing and the Da Lian one in the next post. I am tired now. Suddenly don't feel too good. -_-||| So like how they say in Chinese, zai jian!

Fixed part of the layout. *doesn't like this image host but has not much of a choice right now* Sometimes it doesn't show my layout sheesh. On the bright side I didn't exceed 30 hours on the layout. Not even 10 hours like my previous layout. I love that one. -_-||| Tuition today. Chinese tuition. It was so darn fun. Had these little pictures made from chinese characters horrribly distorted yet recognisable and you are suppose to guess chinese phrases from it. It's not always you get fun tuition teachers. What can I say. Its CHINESE after all. I am SURPRISINGLY starting to like chinese. Wow. I rule. Totally.
Anyway school today. Nothing much. Fell asleep as usual before school except the m0n1tre$$ didn't get the key the usual time for some reason and I ended up with a super stiff back. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. At least I had my beauty sleep. Chinese compo writing today. I wrote 3 compos today go me. -_-. My hand is surprisingly not aching, only from yesterday's karate. Other than that...Its ok. Cooperated with Jamie to do the yi lun wen. I woundn't mind doing alone for it won't really make much of a difference anyway. Since there were an even number of people for once, might as well pair up to save myself the trouble. Well it was nice. 3 pages long as usual. Hope I didn't screw that up to. Followed by maths. Boring but oh well. I SORT OF learnt something so I don't really care. After all I more or less got it. Recess. My class's service stall was choosen to do a trail run for 2 days so yea. La'mour -- Hairspray, henna, body art services all in one. Nice. Didn't get to do much. I mean not like there were a lot of people anyway. They sprayed my hair without much of my permission and that coated my hands a delightful stain of pinkish red. Took me till bath time with shampoo to wash it off. Not to mention my hair was totally STIFF AND DRY. EWWW. GROSS. No way I am spraying anytime again. I need my hairdresser!!! X_X! Then came the fantastically wonderful physics paper. @#$%^*&(! (random so don't bother finding out what I said) Skip that portion. Followed by LA. PT = bad mood. Me = didn't know I didn't take the summary test = have to take it maybe tomorrow? (once I am PREPARED) Embarrassing. Whatever. My skin is thick enough. Stained almost even I touch red/pink when I touch it. Lunch time. Eat. Assembly. Guest speaker came to talk about STD. Quite interesting, I didn't fall asleep so I guess it was ok. Got one of the cards which they handed out. I got XX (not telling) and yea. Skip. They showed this movie about STDs duh and how this teenage girl (Jolene) was debating on whether she should engage in intimate activities with her current bf who had it with his ex who supposedly had STD. Sounds like a drama serial? I thought so too. Not that bad though. Then came the ppt slide on the different information of various kinds of STDs. Well it was ok. Most of the stuff we had already learnt in Biology last year. At least I learnt something. Hepatitis B can be contracted from intimate activites (you know what I mean). Never knew that. Chinese tuition in the afternoon (fell asleep before it and woke up with 3 mins to spare, thank goodness its home tuition). And here I am typing this. Nice life.
Managed to finish the Saiyuki Reload series yesterday. It so totally rocked. Started on Gunlock too. Well the plot is like that in the RELOAD manga so yea. But watching everything in motion is a lot better. Stopped at "Against the Stream 1". I am so looking forward to that one. SANZO EYE CANDY AGAIN. Haha. What can I say. I am a total fan of Sanzo. Haha. And not to mention I can't stop listening to some Saiyuki vocals and theme songs. They rock. For exmaple Preperation -- Seki Toshihiko (Genjo Sanzo) and Tightrope (requiem) -- Tetsu 69 and There Is -- Souichirou Hoshi, Hiroaki Hirata (Goku and Gojyo). Total Saiyuki madness. Can't wait to continue watching Gunlock ohhhh yeaaaa.
Guess that's all for today. Drop Dead Tired. Time to sleep. Tomorrow trip to wan qing yuan so better get rest. Ciao.

New Layout
|| Time: 05:48 p.m. || Date: Sunday, April 30, 2006||
At least most of my tests which need like a seriously CRAZY amount of time to mug are like SO over. Thank goodness for that. After all, BIO, CHEM and CHI. those which need like totally insanely large amount of time to study and as well as memorise all the information which I am such AT LEAST 60% of them I would not apply in my daily life yea? Yes. SHEESH. I am NOT, I repeat, NOT going to rush all my homework tomorrow. Just start on them. Afterall, I need time to do other things instead of spending my entire life rushing ok. I am a more laid-back-let-nature-take-its-flow girl. No way am I gonna turn the hand of the clock forward all the time in hope that life would fly by ok!! X_X! Those people have a seriously sad life.
Anyway theme of my newest layout: PINK. Swirls. Yeap. Nice isn't it? Hehe. I just got a ton of new swirl brushes so I decided to thrown them all into a layout and waaaa laaaa!!! This is what you get. Messy and a lil well...You know... Yea but I am pretty much happy about it hehe. Took an idea here, another there, throw them together to form a pink rojak which surprisingly turned out quite ok. My masterpiece!!! XD Since I totally suck at art, this isn't half bad ok!!! Give me some credit once in a while instead of bursting my ego bubble all the time. T_T XD Anyway, the links section SHOULD be up SOON. *innocent look* XD See yaz peeps!!!
