Interesting conversation between Sabrina and I, discussing our Geography project concerning traffic congestion and the decision matrix we're going to use.
Sub: Okay. Criteris for matrix.
By the way, in case you haven't realised. I am a huge fan of the Matrix trilogy. The Phoenyx soared at 09:21 p.m. As Cheryl so nicely put it, I feel all teacher instincts I may ever have possessed doused upon taking on the lot of Pasir Ris Primary School EM2 students. You will not believe the amount of noise they can make, or the pleasure they take in annoying us to no end. Yes. We had to go and tutor them for our ACE hours, and Asiyah kind of euphemised 'tutoring' into 'study skills and revision workshop'. To relieve stress, Cheryl and I made periodic trips down to the 'Resource Room' to viciously kick the tables and shriek out colourful words. And kind of wandered around the corridors squeezing our butts into one roll-around chair and ending up like Siamese twins joined together. Interestingly, the boys seemed very scared of the girls but refused to say so. *snickers* Wait till they get to Secondary School. I am highly certain of their impending complete turnaround of attitude towards us females.
So after the whole thing, which our sanity was amazingly retained, Cheryl Yinghan Sien Yinqi Sub and I trooped down to White Sands library where Yinghan (our resident romantic) used my card to borrow a Judith McNaught book. Did I spell it correctly? Anyway Cheryl also showed off her rather accurate Smeagol imitation skills, and attempted to read the front summary of the book in her Gollum voice.
Cheryl: *starts to read the first little paragraph*
Heh. Couldn't find Sien so we traipsed back down to McDonalds, where Yinghan treated us to fries and ice cream cones. And an apple pie for me. Thank you Yinghan =) So when we were done we started mixing up our assorted leftover liquids (and solids) and managed to come up with a sludgey looking like goop we named Stony Drink after a guy standing at attention and looking totally stoned. More accurately, a diarrhea looking like Stony Gunk. The process included sending various people down to the counter to get mayonnaise(me), curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce (Yinghan) and barbecue sauce(Cheryl). I do believe our snickers were getting progressively louder. In the end our dear Stony Drink ended up a mixture of:
Ice-cream
After which we poured the goop onto a cup cover. It looked decidedly excreta-looking. After which we hurriedly left the scene of the crime and went on the MRT home. *grins* The Phoenyx soared at 11:16 a.m. Okay, Alina. I have deleted your comments from the tagboard, as well as my own not-too-nice comments too. But please, don't make comments about Asians and their appearances and slanty eyes and whatnot, because I don't think it's that...nice (for lack of better words). Yes. And, I'm not Japanese but a Chinese Singaporean. The Phoenyx soared at 10:55 a.m. WARNING: HARRY POTTER SPOILERS AHEAD. WHEE.Yes I know I haven't been blogging in a long long time (hah). Considering I was stuck at my grandmother's house on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with no internet and bratty, bratty cousins. Ugh. They are barbaric, uncivilised, uncouth, irritating things. Disrespectful too. And what's worse is one of them, a P5 girl has just discovered the joys of pop music and I had to endure her belting out some obscure ulu song in her horrendous screechy voice. And she has a discman too! Not fair. I want one but the one I was supposed to have is spoilt. Hmph. To top it all off one of them's called Galina and that's way too close to my alias Kalina for comfort. Gah. Anyway, the Harry Potter book is out and I had a pretty interesting time reading the newspaper article. 'Interesting' as in amusing. The descriptions of the people queueing up were funny...something about holding the book up triumphantly and grinning from ear to ear. Heh. And some girl in some country who got a book before the release date and walked up trembling to the cashier. Yes! Just pounced on Yinghan on MSN just now with the sole purpose of finding out spoilers of the fifth book. Like who died. *looks shiftily around* It's Sirius Black. I cannot believe it is Sirius Black. Why Sirius? Sirius was a good dog. *nods solemnly* Why couldn't Hagrid die? Or, or (will incur extreme wrath of Yinghan) Ron. Yesh. Am willing to sacrifice Ron. Oh, Ron's a prefect! And Draco too! Whee. Yay Draco. Nice, slimy, insufferable git Draco. I shall shut up now and immerse myself into fanfiction.net. I imagine the ffnet will have a huge surge of hp fics in the coming week or so. *trundles off*
EDIT: Am very tickled by what Charmaine said yesterday to Joanne and Denise at MPH. The Phoenyx soared at 05:32 p.m. *glares venomously at Boomspeed before proceeding to stab it repeatedly* Boomspeed is treacherous. Do not ever, I repeat ever, sign up for a Boomspeed account. it deleted my accounts TWO TIMES, and I was hopping around trying to find a good replacement image host. Finally settled for Geocities, which I hear is quite treacherous too, but I shall take my chances. Well.
Went out with Yinghan today, conveniently leaving the History Drama discussion halfway because we had to 'get the bagpipes'. Oh by the way, i think the history drama has quite a lot of potential. Cannot wait to see the people actually acting it out, most of all Chloe. *smirks* You'll see why, if she doesn't back out of her role. Don't think she will.
Anyway we went to watch Matrix Reloaded at Plaza Sing and suffered from severe hypothermia after that. Yinghan cleverly decided to get a large drink and I was poking around in the dark cinema trying to find the straw and Yinghan realised it dropped out. Fortunately we had another straw. *grins wryly* And the cinema was cold. We happily sneaked in McDonald sausage mcmuffins with eggs and chomped on them. They didn't even last the trailers. *shudders at the Ju-On trailer* We were closing our eyes and whimpering during that trailer! *says proudly*
I have become a huge fan of Matrix. *drools* I think that the storyline and plot is absolutely mind-blowing and very, very ingenious. Only thing was that there's a whole lot of philosophy in there and your brain starts to hurt after a while and turns off whenever figures like the Oracle and Architect appear. Really. The Oracle came into camera view and I was like, 'oh, no'. Anyway, I think Neo and Trinity make a Very Good Couple. Neo has nice dreamy eyes and he looks so nicely blur. And They Kick Serious Ass. I was practically whimpering when that bullet went into Trinity and blood kind of imploded and she looked stricken. And I think the whimpering noise coming from her when she was dying wasn’t only from her. And Neo looked so anguished. I loved the way she went ‘well, guess this makes us even.’ *mops up the drool on the floor* One of the funny parts was when Persephone got Neo to kiss her and Trinity was looking kinda murderous. Heh. I love Matrix to bits. Whee! *grins* I think I shall make myself a Matrix layout after this...or something. The Phoenyx soared at 09:27 p.m. New layout! So much for the Finding Nemo and Storm layout >< Anyway I love this background, it's so peaceful and dreamy and countryside-rustic. Yep. And I finally got the hang of table background opacity. I realised that the pictures looks kind of Lord of the Ring-ish...or it may just be me. Heh. The Phoenyx soared at 05:27 p.m. Yesterday was interesting. Went out for lunch after gb with Grace and Melissa and Jasmine, and waited with Esther and Sabrina for goodness knows how long and watched exasperated as four or five buses zoomed past in rapid succession without stopping for the horde of RGS girls waiting at the bus stop because they were too full or something. Then we decided we didn't want to wait anymore, walked off and about one minute later three buses came and the third one was very empty. Talk about losers.Ah well. Went to Far East to eat roti john which was very good and cheap and filling. All the while Jasmine was trying to persuade Grace, who was in gb uniform because she didn't bring a change of clothes, to wear her cap and she did, but after lunch Jasmine decided she didn't want to take neoprints with Grace, me and Melissa. She stepped into the lift, waved byebye, the lift door closed and Grace whipped off her cap and never put it back on. Heh.
Anyway the Neoprint-taking was VERY INTERESTING. We were (at least, I was) hopping around squawking very loudly inside the booth trying to choose which shot to print and what to write and periodically I would yell "AHH! NO TIME LEFT!" and everyone would start shrieking again. It was mayhem. Grace wanted choice 3, I wanted choice 2 and Melissa wanted choice 1. I don't know which one we did in the end but I know it wasn't 2. So I was trying to whack Grace and ended up whacking poor Melissa who was in between us instead. Hah.
