finally incepted into Muggerdom
i'll remember this night as The Most Hardworking Night in my life.
darlinks
oh ya, was honing my photography skills hahah with today's sunset. quite nice but needs photoshop tweaking. will do that when free.
wasted my weekends away, 4 days for lit and geog seemed to be quite alot. until today when i realised how little i have actually done. albee only! man and trying to spot for p.geog topics is like trying to buy 4D. darn.
oh ya, if you are reading this and you are panicking too, why not kill 2 birds with 1 weathered granite stone by going to some wonderful geog websites? here and here
The one with the photographs
chanced upon this shot, taken from the scenery outside my house. i see some potential...
TADA! it turned out to be a dramatic piece of photoshopped watercolour. very nice!
is this exciting or what?!?? i can't can't can't wait!
oh and here are some fishies outside my house. had no idea how it turned out to be so wonderfully warm and vibrant. looks good eh? serendipity! :D
haha maybe i have the makings of a photographer. hmm.
ques 2 and 4
on the other hand-
4 more days!
the more i think of of lit8 the more depressed i get :( since its my blog i get to rant about how i screwed up my answers. the compare and contrast poems were alright- cept that i din noe what the hell was happening with the first poem, which ended in a - like, what the. and its all about wind so i could talk about its how the 2nd poem has a more violent wind. all i can give to that ques is a big fat HURH?! blow wind blow, for all i care! (quite coincidentally a real storm was brewing outside when i was doing that ques. talk about a sympathetic or ominous bg.)
O, save me from this agony.
prose was even more disastrous. i've done a grand total of 1 prose passage for a PC exam in all my 2 yrs and that was in lit s where u just compare and contrast. in this case all i get was one miserable line asking you to write a critical commentary on some warped narration of an autustic kid. oh my gawd. i have no idea how to structure it properly so all my points are just scrambled and tossed together. if only i was making a salad.
not good, definitely not good at all. i'm pissed with the mess i made. DAMN.
human geog was so-so. nothing spectacular, but nothing that disastrous. barber was quite spot on, just hope that our case studies suffice and all that butler shit can cover for our p.geog.
this examination process is as painful as pulling out a ingrown-toenail. a grand total of 5 exam days stretched over 20 days for pple taking lit geog maths gp. it has its benefits but sometimes i wish for the regularity of the Os. it gives us the rhythm.
lemme tell you something. come closer- yes, that's it.
Don't ever give birth to your kid here.
that is, if you plan to give birth. otherwise just save the future kid by NOT bringing it into this world at all.
contextual essay
hence the retardedness. oh man i'm so thankful i dropped econs. woah imagine if there was econs essay tmr. i think i'll just become so stressed my brains will overheat and explode and swim around in a pool of my tears. i'm so glad today is over. 1/3 of my jc education is over, and so is 1/3 of lit! man i really can't wait. urghs.
these days i seem to have the habit of making strange growling or groaning noises. haha bestial qualities emerging. must be the stress. sigh i really hate this system where you slack and slack for 2 years with minor anxieties then suddenly you find yourself hurtling towards the biggest exams ever of your education. after which there is an immediate relaxation. it just seem too extreme for me. we are not made to take such sudden overload of pressure!
incoherent. waiting for The Champion finale to be shown. 2 days to cram human geog. seem to live on a day-by-day basis. was flipping frantically through my lit texts just now and an incredulous thought flitted thru. Its my As and i'm still not prepared?!? everytime i'm studying for like prelims or CTs i'll tell myself, nvm, work harder for As. but just what did i do?
oh god just let this whole fiasco be over.
making a fool out of all of us.
repulsion
oh my gawd. funny how time flies.. very soon we'll be shouting and screaming in some tc classroom haha cos it'll be the last paper. but before that- where did the bloody week go? felt as if its only ytd that i had maths p1 and tmr its gonna be p2 and lit! shit of all shits man and ugh. the weather is so blah, not sunny nor rainy. and my right eye is giving my prob again, its painful! oowww.
right. and i shouldn't be online. yucks.
ouch
haha sounds familiar? 50 hits on my blog. keep on checkin' back up on tis blog ya u nv noe when i'm posting. anyway its a lame post cos i'm braindead. try being holed up at a noisy cafe from 2-8 trying to cram M4M. at least the service was nice so i won't complain much, and i did finish m4m. wuahaha sense of accomplishment. throat is going back to being sore though, not good.
ouch my throat hurts.
and i just realised how bad public hols are for pple trying to study. there'll be kids down at the playground running amok and playing with noisy rocket sparklers, so you can't study at home. sch's closed, no sanctuary to be found there. you go out, and everywhere is crowded. ugh. however, haha i simply can't wait for Christmas! i love having xmas in singapore.. orchard road is like a glittering tinseltown. and shops are already playing Jingle Bells! oooh quick quick As please zoom away..i want to say bye bye As and hello prom!
wind on my face
i believe they will soar to even greater heights. juz hope that like our seniors, they will pass down this fun-loving, cheerful atmosphere to the next batch so that the cca can become a refuge for all bandmems. to de-stress and enjoy. how i wish i can turn back the clock and remain in njcsb forever. currently they r all excited bout bandfest. ahh bandfest. what a wonderful idea. *sigh* super nostalgic.
maths paper gets worst and worst after i handed up the script. funny huh, but yeah careless mistakes and idiotic spasms were dug out and mourned in ascending agony. but then i've decided that since there's nothing i can do about them, i might as well forget about it.
mugging at esplanade today was quite alright, did a paper2. realised my stats r quite screwed, i jumbled all the formulas togetha! wth! i used to be a-ok at stats! what happened! haha ya and tis mountain star-backed turtle dragged a cookie-laden zq up to the esplanade roof terrace to see-see. heh. the breeze was refreshing cos it was all cloudy- which is not gd for picture taking.
oh ya and there was this guy at the cafe that had skin so thick a bullet would have rebounded. it was hilarious how he tried to get a bowl of noodles priced at 4.15 for 3.60 cos he had no cash on him, only nets, which they dun accept. he prob din realise how loud he was talking. it was kinda pathetic, actually. finally some stupid, good soul offered to lend him the 90cents. we laughed our heads off silently. haha a welcome break from the hypothesis testing, nevertheless.
gah
$15,000 in donations, over 50 hello kitty dolls, all sorts of toys and stuff for her funeral. isn't it kinda ironic how she is getting all these when she can't play with them anymore. what's the point in showering so much gifts over someone after that person had died?
i don't see children in war-torn countries receiving the same amount of media coverage. all the sobbing pple are like "oh i have children too and i can understand the pain." so the children of iraq, afganistan etc are not someone you can view as your own kid? what kind of logic is this?
gaah and i'm sticking another huang na article in front of you but i'm sick of the media being so obsessed. its morbid. however, that's probably cos the media has nothing to report about. i mean.. look at this:
"SINGAPORE has slipped down the latest world press freedom ranking, according to international association Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF).
The Republic is now ranked 147th out of 167 countries, three rungs lower than last year, making it the lowest ranked developed country when it comes to press freedom."
right. i shouldn't be spending time blogging. back to maths! wish me luck for tmr's paper 1. hope the 03 trend continues. i'll be counting my blessings...
PS: and i bet the huge turnout for her funeral is cos pple wanna catch some more winning 4D numbers. *sob sob* - *peeks around, maybe overhear the price of the coffin?* gah.
jazz
am bored. even fudge refuses to play with me cos i kajiao it all the time. it only expects food out of that beige-coloured scary moving object that hovers above it so it gives it a testing bite when it descends. boohoo.
developed a horrible cough. my throat feels irritated. its that kinda deep painful cough that makes my stomach muscles contract. yucks. i wanna get well soon and not irritate the hell out of other pple during the maths paper with my cough! so embarrassing.
oh btw, check out the revamped hammieeater site. spent quite a while doing but its nice :)
hunk in town!
he's so cute! hahaha. my fav guy in that show.. not even toro or that taiwan basketballer can beat him.. ahhh he got the dumb dumb puppydog devotion thingy. haha plus a great bod to boot! lifesaver... ^_^
raindrops keep falling on my head, dammit!
so its the GP examinations today, equivalent to waving a red flag in front of your face screamin' THE A'S ARE HERE! finally, i might add. as usual was tossing and turning last night thinking bout all those gp stuff and the As and after As and.. anyway, being the usual me, i forgot to bring my entry proof. haha sorry for the alarm mr. dio but yeah mr. bek was patiently waiting in the General Office with the "yes, what class?" look. happens every year.
a great start to a wonderful time, of course. anywae i did the ques, "Discuss the appeal and need for fantasy stories and films." haha i have no idea why i decided to opt for something so out of the blue for my final gp exam instead of sticking with the usual stuff but what the heck was feeling adventurous. compre was quite horrible for me. >< ah well. 1 file for cremation.
after that went for lunch at j8's thai express despite protesting nose and weakness experienced by pple with flu. had some beefy soupy thingy. can't taste anything, actually. haha but the tom yam is spicy. reached home and was just debating whether or not to still go for tuition despite being so flu-y. the angel won, in the end. but alas, the moment i stepped out of the house it started pouring. i bet 10 mins of our rainfall is equivalent to sahara's 10 yrs worth. so i was there under the kind shelter of the bus stop, where i still get soaked on my left side anyway cos of the wind. it was flooding everywhere, i even saw pple standing on the seats of the bus shelter cos of high levels of muddy water! quite funny. they looked pathetically hilarious.
we should never gloat about other's misfortunes. at least they are in sandals and slippers. met rux in the train and chugged to admiralty, only to step off into the peak of the thunderstorm. luckily we have umbrellas. but are they of any use admist the buffeting winds and flyaway drizzle? it was gross. our shoes are soaked through and through by the time we 2 little girls braved through the storm to reach the HDB void deck. *squish squish*
i have to say it was quite a rare experience for me. i never did seem to have been out in such dreadful weather since sec2. we looked a sight by the time we journeyed to my tuition teacher's house, what with draggly limp hair, soaking sleeves and damp skirts and we still have to sit there and pretend we've not been out on one of mother nature's rages and do maths! of all things!
*sniffles* right so i'm sick and i can't breathe through my nose properly. haha but i think its quite interesting how only one nostril gets to be blocked each time. so i need to exert twice the effort to draw breath into 1 channel. tiring you know. ok i'm so tired from breathing i shall stop blogging and go sleep. you should too, even if its at 12 pm. sleeping is gooood :)
jedi mudster or grannys nuts?

hey. its about 21 days left to the end of the hardest exams you'll ever be taking in your life. its not that bad, eh?
sunday times
spirited away
so you might wonder what i was doing for the past week. basically, try to get up and reach school at "ten" to stare at lines and lines of words, of course. its hilarious how the whole bunch of us (at least 4 peepz) all arrive at different times after deciding that "ten" is a good time. its a good time la, right, if you reach 2 hours later.
ha and sometimes, we need to stay in focus.
and how else to encourage ourselves by spending a day at one of the most popular offshore islands of Singapore?
ok close your mouth. hahah you must be thinking, siao ah! exam time still go sentosa play play? but guess what?
we can't take it anymore, we need it. so there!
check out the rest here. heh. sadly there was hardly any sun but it didn't stop us from having fun! haha and got a nice tan, actually. if only my face stops looking like i'm permanently blushing the next day, that's all.
right that was supposed to pop out and scare you. scared not? sigh. right now in the state of "come what may". more mugging in sch on mon! hurrah!
