POP 2006

2006-07-28T09:29:00.000-07:00

Now that my band life has come to a close, its time to make a little tribute.

Sec One 2003
I could still remember how I hated band so much and was so terribly disappointed when I got into band instead of my first choice. And the seniors didn't make my life in band any better, except for the sec 2s, our dear seniors.=D In fact, it was one of the worst time of my life.It was so agonizing because I couldn't read a single note and while most of the squad were happily playing some nursery rhymes, I was counting the lines in the score. I am sure most of us will still remember our dear drum major that year--the one who called us "idiots" and "retards" and made us so fearful of seniors. And being bullied and terrorised by some seniors into being their "slaves". :( But there was still the good times, such as drills and our dearest SCs--shumin and xintian. =D

Sec Two 2004
This must had been the craziest year of my life, going for self-pracs every friday with phyllinda, huishian, natsun, vanessa, shumin, jingwen, jiaying and yanzhu along with some other seniors, wrecking havoc in the band room. And the surprise birthday parties for some of our squadmates and section seniors, namely the blues. We literally turned the 2-day a week band prac into thrice a week! Thinking back now, I still can't believe that we were that crazy about band that year, even going back almost everyday during the june and december holidays to practise and hang around and troubling shueli to open the door for us,especially considering how I hated band in sec one.

Sec Three 2005
We still continued going for self pracs everyday, despite the heavy pile of homework. I suppose it was more out of a habit than anything. Moreover, it was our only SYF year and we just assured ourselves that we were not neglecting our studies for nothing, even though the number of self-practers dwindled. :/ Sec 3 life in band brought me through the most number of emotional turmoils, from stark depression to tears of pure joy, especially when we got the long-awaited gold in the SYF and all the band members went around saying, "We got gold!We got gold!" for the following weeks. :D

Sec Four 2006
Well, this year passed by rather quickly but there have been quite interesting events as well. Balloon hat, the 1st National Band Competition and jubilate. How I was wishing POP would arrive soon but when it actually arrived, I didn't want it to come.

I am quite glad that I didn't quit band in sec one.I remembered how we all sweared to be good and nicer to our juniors. And I can proudly say we did. :D Band has given me the truest friends I could have.

Anyway, POP was fun! Thanks to the section, especially the sec 3s for making our POP so memorable. :D Really felt like crying when I heard the concerto d'amore. And tequila was cute! :D I 'll miss the squad, the band pracs and especially the section: jingwen, jiaying, jacq, jessling, jessie, josie, ruijun and zhuer. Thanks for making life in band wonderful. Will come back to visit whenever I can.

Missing them already.

band competition--GOLD

2006-07-15T07:11:00.000-07:00

I have decided to reopen my blog for just this post. It was after all, our last competition and performance as SNSB. I am just glad that we managed to keep the gold. It was only borderline, but who cares? It is still a GOLD. The result this time was not as satisfying as SYF, probably because we didn't work as hard or feel as much for this. I am just glad that I am able to leave band happy and without letting ms sia down.

SNSB BRAVO!

closing blog

2006-05-13T07:51:00.000-07:00

I have decided that I have too little self-restrain, watching television and surfing the Net when I know I should jolly well complete my homework. So, I am officially closing my blog until - who knows when. Probably for quite a while. There's still the television to tempt me but now that I have made the internet off-limits (sort of, i still need to visit epebble and stuff) for myself, it's a start. There isn't much to write on anyway, mostly just reporting on school, band and school. I need to start concentrating now.

Wells. Ciao.

claws of depression

2006-05-11T06:34:00.000-07:00

Argh. I don't like basketball.

I sweat the most today. Firstly was the tiring game called basketball and then band prac. But band prac was fun though! I wouldn't mind marching around with our instrus for the rest of the band pracs. :D

I want to watch Pirates of the Caribbean II!

; darkness is closing in

election results + other stuff

2006-05-07T02:53:00.000-07:00

Just looking for an excuse to get away from work. :D

My aunt brought I Not Stupid 2.Finally. I can't believe I cried when I was only watching it at home. That means I should be glad I didn't watch it at the theatres. Otherwise the waterworks would be unstoppable. Hard to believe that the show really reflects life nowadays? Maybe my world is too sheltered and innocent. To think I would be meeting all sorts of people in future. O.o

Workers' Party! :D Stayed up watching the results of the election -thus my eyebags. It was quite exciting. And, we can jolly well expect a big change in the near future. For the better or worse? Depends.

HCJC concert. So many familiar songs. Merry Widow and El Camino Real. And Grease! Athough its quite different from what we played. Quite surprised to see so many snsb seniors there.

I love vanilla ice cream. :D

groans

2006-05-06T00:03:00.000-07:00

All I need is some inspiration..

election rally!!

2006-05-05T06:47:00.000-07:00

I went to the Workers' Party rally at Serangoon Stadium. Surprising, considering how apathetic I am. Becca,my mum and I reached there just a few minutes before the rally started and apparently the stadium is just not big enough to hold all their supporters and so, we stuck ourselves on the walkway behind the fence. Then people continued to pour in until the walkway is crammed. Obviously all the people thought that the 3 of us are invisible or something, 'cause they just plant themselves right in front of us. I couldn't hear much anyway, just a few sentences that found their way into my ears. And I can't even see the stage even though it's mounted. All their supporters start waving their little flags (which we coudn't get hold of somehow) for about every minute?

Anyway, that talk this morning was really hilarious. I haven't laugh so much in a while. I suppose what makes it so funny is that all the things Gary said was true! We just never think of these little things from another perspective.

Oh yar. I find it extremely irritating when people start clapping in the middle of a speech just because the speaker said something funny. Like *ahem*.

And I am officially broke. Anybody wants to donate some money for me?

the sorting hat!!

2006-05-01T00:31:00.000-07:00

I'm from Gryffindor!
Hogwart's Sorting Hat Quiz

Having fun taking all the Sorting Hat quizzes. :D My Harry Potter obssession is back! Yay. I am a true-blue Gryffindor.

I'm a Gryffindor!

photobucket

2006-04-30T07:46:00.000-07:00

Whoops. Photobucket is so much more efficient than imagestation. It doesn't conk out after I upload 2 photographs. Shall move all my albums to photobucket then. :D

holiday tomms

2006-04-30T06:44:00.000-07:00

Today was pretty entertaining. I finished 4 books (all marykate and ashley's, so it was pretty thin) as I had nothing better to do and I haven't been to the library for a while. And I watched Nanny McPhee and Harry Potter and the Socerer's Stone. XD Once again, I chomped away all the tidbits in the house.

Daniel Radcliffe was so cute in the first movie. Such a big contrast. ~muses
And his voice is so kiddish. Lol.

Watching my sis studying for mid-years and there I was, testing her about the Industrial Revolution and World War II. It was such a long time ago when we had mid-years.

Uploading sports day photos now. :D

sports day 2006

2006-04-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

Sports day.Not much, just that it rained this year? And the family-teacher relay had to be called off. :( Last year playing as a band while standing in that hockey pitch, trying not to fidgit (but failed) and get the blood circulation back into my toes. 76 trombones and sousa are forever stuck in my head.

Well. It seems like yellow can only win on alternate years. Haven't upload the photos yet. Too lazy.

Oh, we forgot to take a photo during dinner.

bored

2006-04-27T19:31:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I am actually resorting to playing neopets again.

sports day

2006-04-27T18:00:00.000-07:00

Argh. So angry with myself. There's a chance to sleep late today and I can't make myself sleep. 2.4 is finally over. But can't say I am happy with the timing. Too bad. Its over. I am not going to care about the results as long as I get 1 more gold.

Shall update about sports day later.

sucks

2006-04-21T22:27:00.000-07:00

It has gone this far
No turning back
This is the result
Of people of the past
Or us?

The present looks grey
The future looks bleak
Never is it
As bright as before

Lies, deception, hypocrisy
All robbed us of our better judgement
And yet
There's nothing we can do

Helpless as we stand now
Only to watch
As our world collapse
And weep.

another sucky day

2006-04-19T04:27:00.000-07:00

~Takes a deep breath.

I shall plaster a smile on my face and pretend that nothing has happened.

crumbles.

sucky day

2006-04-17T02:19:00.000-07:00

Basically, today sucks. Or else I am being too sensitive. ~~But I don't think so~~

Never mind. I shall be optimistic . Tomorrow will be a great day.

I hope.

sian

2006-04-15T02:39:00.000-07:00

Ahhh. I am sick of doing homework.

jogging

2006-04-14T07:25:00.000-07:00

I am a good girl today! I sat at my table and did homework for the whole day (but I still didn't finish it). That about explains the amount of homework we have. Maths was extremely exasperating. I redid half the questions a gadzillion times and I still can't get the answer. ~~Integration sucks.~~

Went to run 2.4 with yizhen in the evening. The timing was horrible. Barely A. But I was just a few steps behind yizhen, that means I improved. Lols. Hopefully I can run faster next week. Running with the class should give you motivation right? Yes.

And about that. Its our last few months together, I think we shouldn't let these things affect our relationship. I know its none of my business but I don't want you to regret your actions later on. Its already over for almost a year. Let bygones be bygones. Jealousy doesn't help. It only makes you hate the person even more.

I sound darn nosey. I'm not even sure you will even read it.

Ok fine. Pretend I didn't just sprout all that nonsense.

dance concert

2006-04-08T07:22:00.000-07:00

Actually went for a dance concert when I should be studying Physics and Lit. Some performance by Dance Horizon Troupe. Almost nodded off to sleep. Sorry, but I guess I don't know how to appreciate dance? Call me uncultured. XD I think I prefer the kind of dances in Rainbow Connection.

Wells.

jealous

2006-04-02T00:50:00.000-08:00

Woah. I just read christina's blog on her trip to hawaii and I am super jealous. It makes me even more determined to give America a visit when I grow up, since I jolly well cannot afford it now. I must, and I will. :D

Eh, now these trips seem super far for me. But its indeed nice to dream about it.

Bliss.

slacking

2006-04-02T00:26:00.000-08:00

Guess what? I am slacking again. Whatever happened to my motivation? Resilience? Argh.

I studied amaths though. And I did SS summary, so it sort of counted as revising right? RIGHT??

Right. :D

Yay. Campus Superstar tonight. And my sis told me that all 4 of them were sick. Zhiyang even lost his voice. Wells. Hopefully they can all perform their best tonight.

mugg-er day

2006-04-01T04:17:00.000-08:00

I actually fell asleep while doing homework. Again. I can't believe it. I am acting like I am awfully deprived of sleep, which in a way, I am. But I am not that deprived.

I realised that studying can actually burn calories. My stomach was rumbling 2 hours after I ate lunch. Writing uses so much energy. ~snorts

Happy April's Fool everybody. :D

ahhh muscles

2006-03-31T05:20:00.000-08:00

I want a new umbrella. This super strong wind today upturned my useless and bent umbrella and almost dragged me away as well. Luckily, I wasn't so weighless to be dragged away by a mere wind.

I am currently suffering from the aftereffects of excess lactic acid everywhere in my body. Can't even laugh or climb down the stairs properly. And my leg muscles are sooo ugly!! Argh. Shall get rid of them after NAPFA. O.o

new skin!!

2006-03-26T01:21:00.000-08:00

Actually, I wanted to create a totally new blogskin (alright, ask someone else to help, since I don't know how) and not rip one off blogskins.com. But I was surfing for ideas and I came across this one. And the next moment, I was pasting the new html for my template. :D
Anyway, this looks nice and since I won't be updating so frequently, changing the skin seems like a good idea!
Wells.

dead beat

2006-03-26T00:05:00.000-08:00

1. If you are going to plan a surprise treat, make sure your plan don't backfires.
2. Otherwise, have a backup plan.
3. If you don't want anybody to find you, off your phone.
4. Some people just naturally gross-es me out.
5. I am getting slacker and slacker.
6. If you want to gossip, take a look at your surroundings before proceeding.
7. I have obviously nothing better to do besides updating my blog.
8. This is soo random.

pissed

2006-03-24T06:57:00.000-08:00

Why am I living in a world so full of hypocrites???

bugis trip

2006-03-20T04:02:00.000-08:00

I am sooo weak. I just ran 3 rounds and jumped up a flight of stairs and I am worn out like nobody's business. Had to succumb to a nap. Yizhen wasn't even panting! Super woman.

Anyway, went bugis and bought xinru's present. It was......something. ;P
We went 3 rounds but gain back all the calories at lunch. All because of the milkshake.

At least now school is back!! I won't eat so much le. =D

finished speech!!

2006-03-19T05:37:00.000-08:00

I just realised, it is the end of holidays (okay, one more day) and I haven't touch my books at all. Its only one term and I broke my resolutions to study hard. O.o ARGH. At least I can be glad that I finished my homework, even though I aven't memorised my speech yet. I copied my speech 3 times and now my ring finger is aching.

Shall study till midnight today while I happily watch my sis go to bed early. Lols.

orchard trip

2006-03-18T05:50:00.000-08:00

Surprise, surprise. I skipped lunch again. But I ingested 1 milkshake, 1 coke float and 1 cup of durian ice cream. And that sort of made up my lunch. O.o Was too full to eat anything else. BUT my aunt bought bubble tea for dinner. AND my sis bought 1 huge tub of chocolates. I couldn't possibly say no, could I? And so, I ate. AND RIGHT NOW I AM EATING DORITOS!!! So much glucose. Omg. I will get diabetes if I carry on eating like this. HELP!! Give me restrain!!

Argh.

The good news is: I finished my Lit!!! All 8 questions!!!!
And the bad news is: I still have my speech and the unseen poems left.

nat's house

2006-03-17T05:13:00.000-08:00

My sunburnt skin is peeling. I supposed its good news. But its super disgusting and itchy. And there are little pimple-like globs that can't be squeezed out. And oh yes. I finally finished The Doomsday Conspiracy. The ending was not as good as I had expected. In fact, it was too abrupt, as though Sidney Sheldon just wanted to end the book as quickly as he could. It was all about UFOs and such. I couldn't believe I can get so hooked on a science fiction book. But I suppose this book is more than that. Lols.

Went Nat's house to slack. =___=
Watched New York Minute. Again. Just realised its pretty nonsensical. But its hilarious. Basically, we just hanged around the swimming pool. And Yeewen is sooo in love with herself. ~smirks.

Wells.

bandd

2006-03-16T05:50:00.000-08:00

I finally got my milkshake. It tastes so nice! But I think the one at mos burger is nicer.

Anyway, band prac was fun today! =D We never do these silly things for such a long time, it seems pretty amusing. And I didn't realise how my stamina really deproved.

I feel so accomplished. I finished a speech and social studies!! Love myself. ~muacks.
=_______=

haircut!!

2006-03-15T02:33:00.000-08:00

Becca and I had a wonderful time laughing at weird hairstyles. =___= Its amazing how many types of hairstyles there are on the Net. And some look soooo horrible! Becca finally decided on a female version of Saga but sadly, her hair was too short. Lols.

To Becca: aren't you glad that your mass of protein turned out well?
~smirks.

Happily ignoring my homework now. XD

tiredd

2006-03-14T05:49:00.000-08:00

Gosh. I haven't felt this tired for a long time. My cousin is so irritating. He told me to set friday aside coz he wanted to hang out. Then just a moment ago he said he can'tmake it on friday coz he has to work.

So, my friday is now free. Anybody wants to go out on that day please call me!!Lols. I sound darn desperate. Wells, at most, I can just go on a single date with my homework.

=________=

jurong island trip

2006-03-13T04:10:00.000-08:00

I was extremely paranoid today. Went slapping on sunblock a few times before the Jurong Island trip. XD Lessons today was a bit rushed. Almost fell asleep in that cram, squeezy and warm AVA room. I supposed I stayed up too late last night surfing the net. Lols.

Shall go back to my mountainous pile of homework.

sun burnt

2006-03-12T05:33:00.000-08:00

I hate my skin. It makes me so prone to sunburn. Just a few hours out in the sun and both my whole arms became red. I wonder if they will peel. O.o

In conclusion, today was a rather fruitful day. For the first time since don't know when, we actually went on a family outing! We went to the goat and vegetables farm. The baby goats were so cute. =D Felt like buying one home. But I pity the female goats. I think their udders were squeezed so regularly that they must be quite sore. I saw the goats being milked, and one of them had such a large, swollen udder but when the man squeezed the teste, only a thin trickle of milk came out. And I actually feel quite bad buying the goat milk. They especially squeeze out the milk just for us humans. The milk was healthy and all, but it has a strong lactose smell. For those who doesn't like milk, it will be better if you don't try it. It is so wasteful if you buy one whole bottle and throw it away after just taking one sip.

The vegetables farm was okay. Nothing interesting except rows and rows of (what else?) vegetables.

After lunch, we went to Expo. Books!!!! Lols. Sis and I bought 6 books. Those that Phy will call trashy books. But those books include Are you afraid of the dark? by Sidney Sheldon, so you can't call all of them trashy.Lols.

And then we went home. AND I didn't do any homework at all since I fell asleep and only woke up during dinner.

Wells.

fiesta 2006

2006-03-11T05:50:00.000-08:00

That's it. Fiesta 2006 is over. After so much planning and such..it was gone in just a few hours. Comparing the 2 fun fairs that I experienced, the last one was more fulfilling. Supposedly, we were much innocent then and everything was so simple. Maybe that's why I enjoyed myself so much last time. This fun fair wasn't bad in general. In fact, it was quite successful. Just say I wasn't in the mood. And the haunted house. I had seen so many pretend ghosts in the course of these 3 or more years that they weren't that scary anymore. But if my sis went today, she will definitely be screaming her head off. =D

This year is supposed to be quite an eventful year, at least for band even though there's no SYF. Stressful, but I wouldn't exchange the precious, pleasant memories of secondary school life like the funfairs, concerts for anything.

Was actually quite pissed a few times today. But I wasn't the only one.

gross day

2006-03-01T02:21:00.000-08:00

It's a slimy and nerve-wrecking day. Firstly, we saw a tiny jelly-like snail crawling around aimlessly during morning assembly and doutblessly, we try to avoid going anywhere near that creature. As usual (;P), I tried to kill it with a stone, even though evelyn was trying very hard to dissuade me by describing the gooey, disgusting slime-like substance that the snail would end up as when it is smashed. But I didn't kill it afterall. The stone merely blocked the snail's path and twisted its neck. O.o And after this, I have come to the conclusion that snails have no bones in their neck. Its neck wasn't even broken! It just turned its neck 90 degrees clockwise and crawled the other way. Smart snail. But it has no sense of direction whatsoever. It couldn't even find its way back into its hole by the end of the assembly.

Okay. I seemed pretty cruel and all, with my habit of killing innocent creatures like snails and mosquitoes and ants. But that's just too bad if you are any of those creatures. (;P) I mean, all these creatures are so pretty useless. And spare me the part of how I am interfering with the ecosystem by killing off these organisms. Mosquitoes ought to be killed. Their only function is to spread diseases and nothing else. And I ain't that devoid of human feelings. I am terrified of flying insects, especially flying cockroaches!!!

Anyway, enough of this.

I dissected a pig's heart today! Alright. I didn't dissect it. I saw it being dissected. I didn't dare to touch the heart at all. It looked so..real. And it gives off a funny smell. And becca and qiuyu had so much fun chopping off pieces of muscles. O.o The heart was horribly mutilated by the end of the day. Gross. Especially all that blood and blood clots stuck in the arteries. Yuck! But it wasn't as bad as I had thought. It wasn't as disgusting.

But I still can't figure out why anybody would want to be a forensic scientist.

slacking again

2006-02-27T01:27:00.000-08:00

Here I am, slacking again. That's what I seem to be doing nowadays. Supposed I strived too hard at the beginning of the year, now ran out of oil. Or rather, sputtering and coughing. About to break down. BUT must persevere.

Listening to singapore rhapsody and el camino real played during SYF last year. Reminisce. Sigh. I couldn't believe it was us on the recording. It sounded so..pro. Sorta miss the bond we shared at that time..all those tears and joy. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.

Hrrrump. Oops. I just burped. Gross.

relaxing

2006-02-25T06:33:00.000-08:00

Life do get pretty relaxing after a while, at least for now. It seems weird that there doesn't seem to be much homework this weekend, and I actually have time to read! It's a nice feeling, curling up with Sidney Sheldon's books. This guy is a darn good writer. His mind works miracles.

Giddy spells on and off. Must be the fever.
Better get back to my research.

Ciao.

lols

2006-02-20T05:21:00.000-08:00

O.o
I just made a teeny little comment that I am pissed and so many people told me to chill straight away. I find that somehow amusing. Anyway, that entry was just written in a moment of pique okays? I was really irritated. But it was over. Hopefully anyway.

~~I don't want to care anymore.~~

argh

2006-02-16T06:13:00.000-08:00

ARGH.

I am so irritated. By everything.

troubled thoughts

2006-02-12T04:08:00.000-08:00

There's a chingay parade downstairs. RIGHT downstairs. I can just hear everything the host is saying and every word the singers sing just sitting here in front of the computer. normally I would find those loudspeakers irritating. But today I needed something to distract me from some disturbing thoughts running about in my head. Gosh. They just set off a firecracker less than 100 metres away. Almost jumped out of my chair in fright...

OMG!!! I just looked out of the veranda and saw sparks on the stage! Then the next moment, my uncle started calling me to go out to the corridor to watch the procession. This particular song of Stephanie Sun was blasting out of a particular float. I just stood at my corridor and plainly stared at the dazzling floats in awe. And my stupid camera conked out on me. Plus my phone can't capture the images as they were too far away. Now I only have my memory to rely on. Hougang hasn't seen anything this exciting for a long time. Fancy the chingay parade going through the roads here! Just returned to my seat right here. I think the parade lasted for about 10 minutes? =D

Woah!

after release of results..

2006-02-11T06:28:00.000-08:00

All I can say is, it's indeed a weight off my shoulder. I can't say it's a very huge weight, as it is pretty insignificant compared to what the blue batch was facing. The atmosphere in the MPR and the hall was indescribable. Crying is unavoidable. You either cry because you are disappointed or overjoyed. And me? I cried because I saw someone else crying. That's expected I guess. But by the end of the day, I was feeling pretty appprehensive of what to expect next year. Or the end of this year for that matter. After friday, I realised that all of us here had really overreacted. It can be pardoned, but I think we really took things too seriously. The major exam at the end of this year is even more important. I guess I knew that deep down, but it was sort of a chain effect. I see everybody around me panicking and I start sweating. Now that one subject is over, it's time to put it behind us and concentrate on the more pressing matters.

Like band. And Os.
Forget it. Don't even want to think of it now.

Just finished watching this show featuring a true crime. And it's really disgusting and chilling. It was about this Malaysian woman who liked to visit pubs. She got hacked on the face several times by a pervertic man (who is supposed to be her boyfriend or something close) by a chopper, banged against the wall in her kitchen (and the wall became real bloody), scalded by boiling water. The worse thing is, she was conscious even when the hot water was poured all over her wounds. BUT she survived. It was really painful to see, but even more painful for her. To have her ears and part of her eyelids chopped off. And of course the sadistic man was arrested. In fact, he turned him himself in. Don't ask me why. I watched this particular story three times and I still don't know why the man tortured this poor lady like that. Something about money. But I don't know the exact motive. And the really puzzling thing was, why did the man turn himself in after mutilating her like that? I know there is a book on this story. "An uncommon beauty". I only read a few chapters and gave up. The details are so gross. But I would definitely finish the whole book if I ever find it in the library again. Provided that I have the time.

An end doesn't neccessarily is the end; it marked another beginning.

OMG?!?!

Ok. Calm down. Its nothing. Its nothing. ITS NOTHING!!!

Why can't I believe that? TANMIEOTENG!!!ITS NOTHING!!!ITS ONLY ONE SUBJECT!!!!!

Ok. I feel calmer now.

homework-free day

2006-02-02T05:10:00.000-08:00

Today is such an inspiring day. Its funny how things turn out--those that I didn't expect to happen happened, while those I wished to happen did not. I have come to realise something: Once you get something, you have to lose something else. I didn't realise how true this statement is. That is, until today. Ok. I didn't really lose that something yet, but I know it's sooner or later. Being the pessimistic person I am, I sensed something going on. And it is not a good feeling. But whatever. I am currently devoid of human feelings.

Good mood really improves everything. Just look at band prac today. Lols.

You can't expect everything to be on your side. Sometimes, you have to compromise to make everyone happy. It usually takes a long time for anyone to be willing to make a sacrifice. And it doesn't help to be irritated. You just have to accept it. After all, we are all humans.

CNY 2006

2006-01-31T02:24:00.000-08:00

Its 3 days into the doggy year. *Grins. I have come to realise that dogs are adorable.

Anyway, school is reopening tomorrow. Know what this means?

TORTURE!!!!
Now I have absolutely nothing to look forward to, maybe except POP. But the arrival of POP marks the beginning of something else. But this CNY was a good rest + holiday. Better than previous years. However, not financial wise.

Gosh;
I am obssessed with this song.

an occasional update

2006-01-07T05:29:00.000-08:00

First week of school + cca fair over. Time really flies. Soon, CNY will be over too.

Anyway, school has barely started and I am already starting to feel the stress. Wonder how I am going to survive this whole year.

And I can't seem to finish my holiday homework. O.o

farewell

2005-12-30T04:07:00.000-08:00

I am supposedly biding a proper farewell to my blog before my time is all taken away for school, which is reopening in like, 3 days. And the great thing is, I haven't even finish a large part of my homework. So, actually, I am not supposed to be wasting time here blogging when I am supposed to catch up with my homework.

Returning to school made me realised how much I dread being a sec 4. By the time I left the school, I felt like crying. But hopefully, the year will pass quickly enough that I won't have any time to feel depressed. Not that I want to go to JC or poly or whatever so quickly. I still haven't have my life planned out and I haven't figure out what I want to carve a career out of. I am not even very sure of my interests.

Sigh.

I supposed I have to try and catch up with my homework first before thinking of anything else. To the rest of the upcoming sec 4s: Let's jiayou togother.

king henry the fourth

2005-12-26T04:41:00.000-08:00

Was reading the first few pages of king henry the fourth. And I almost fell asleep. Typical work of shakespeare. All about the crusades to Jerusalem, the Holy Land and (why am I not surprised) war. About how this person wanted to become king. And all that stuff. It seems like all the shakespeare stuff we studied or going to study revolve around the theme of greed.
~yawns.
Hope I finish the book soon.

end of my working days

2005-12-23T23:54:00.000-08:00

After 2 weeks of working at Patson's, I learnt that:

1. A machine is just a robot that is programmed to do what it is supposed to do. If you try to make it do anything that exceeds its abilities, it will protest by giving off this VERY LOUD whirring sound. (I am surprised that my eardrums are still intact.)
2. Working alongside a machine for 9 x 5 hours can influence you to become robotic.
3. Machines are made to be busy at every moment of the day. If you just leave it alone for 3 minutes without photocopying, scanning or faxing, it will return to the main page and you can't continue your work until you log in again.
4. Human fingers are too thick for our own good. The keyboard of the machine has such small keys that you can't possibly key in the correct password unless you use the tip of a pen.
5. Rubber bands can become really sticky and not-at-all-elastic when it is stretched too long. Was grossed out by all the few years-old rubber bands binding all those worksheets together when in the end, they stick to the papers like gum.
6. The stack of papers you insert into the document feeder had to be of almost the same thickness. Otherwise the papers will get jammed and the machine will scream until you scream for help.
7. Paper jams are your worst nightmare. To get the machine to stop screaming, you have to open the document feeder, turn the green wheel to remove the paper and start all over again. If you are lucky, the paper is "strong", you can continue the scanning without much interrupting. But if you are not and the paper is "lousy", the paper will tear and you have to cancel the scanning process and try to replace the torn worksheet by photocopying a new sheet before scnning again. That means you have to rummage for your correction tape at the already very messy desk to erase the serial number in order to record down the new serial number.
8. Machines can't do every possible thing on earth after all. You have to remove every staplet in sight before scanning if you want to avoid the LOUD WHIRRING and torturing yourself by turning around(which can cause all the papers on your lap to scatter) and changing the serial number-- otherwise known as PAPER JAM.
9. STAPLETS(as insisted by phyllinda) can be stronger than human beings. It took both of us ages to get the BIG staplet out of the worksheets only to staple the thick stack of worksheets together again after scanning.
10. Even worksheets which are only a few years old can prove inviting for woodlices. (SCREAM!!)

And that about concludes my two weeks at Patson's.

hmm. great philosophy

2005-12-18T02:38:00.000-08:00

ripped this off crystal's blog.

Goodbyes make you think, they make you realize what you've had, what you've lost and what meaning it is.
It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
Sometimes, when you're mad, you have the right to be mad, but you don't have the right to be cruel.
We are never given dreams without also being given the power to make them come true.
God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives us something better when he takes something away.
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way.
The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed -Sebastien Roch Nicolas Chamfort.
Remember, no man is a failure who has friends. -from "It's a Wonderful Life"
No matter how bad it seems it could always be worse
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
We could all take a lesson from crayons: Some are sharp, some are beautiful, some have weird names, all are different colors; but they all have to learn to live in the same box.
Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you want but you can only spend it once.
Remember, you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think- Christopher RobinIF
YOU WANT THE RAINBOW YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE RAIN
"I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches." Alice Roosevelt Longworth
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. " Ben Stein"
As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas.
Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible."Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider"
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. " Friedrich Nietzsche"
May you live every day of your life. "Jonathan Swift"
Once you have been confronted with a life-and-death situation, trivia no longer matter. Your perspective grows and you live at a deeper level. There's no time for pettiness. " Margaretta (Happy) Rockefeller"
All of the animals except man know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it. "Samuel Butler"
Men are born to succeed, not to fail. " Henry David Thoreau"
Hate is the consequence of fear; we fear something before we hate it; a child who fears noises becomes a man who hates noise. " Cyril Connolly"
Be willing to make decisions. That's the most important quality in a good leader. Don't fall victim to what I call the "ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome." You must be willing to fire. -- T. Boone Pickens

I feel so much better after reading this. Obviously these smart people who came up with all these philosophies came across thousands of people that face all sort of problems everyday. I feel much more comforted.

sigh

2005-12-18T02:28:00.000-08:00

The adrenaline that I produced yesterday seemed to have wore off. Otherwise I used the hormones too fast, 'cause from what I remembered, I have way extra adrenaline last night to have last me through this whole day. I was feeling pretty high this morning, but by the time I was on my way home, I was pretty down. For no reason whatsoever. Its like I am pms-ing, but I know I am not. I was just thinking, gosh, next year I am a sec four. Then wham! My spirits went dropping. And the events of these past few months just ran through my mind like a film being fast forward.

How I missed those days.

VJC concert

2005-12-17T06:53:00.000-08:00

first day at work

2005-12-12T04:59:00.000-08:00

It was my first day at work. Just working on some paperwork with the scanning machine. Sort of a robotic movement, but not really that robotic. If you know what I mean. It gets really boring after a while. But I don't mind doing mindless work if I can earn money.
9 more days to go.

perfect sunday--not

2005-12-11T04:01:00.000-08:00

did i mention that i am totally stuck at hong lou meng??? it is supposed to be a beautiful piece of work which the readers can throw themselves into the world of ancient china and appreciate the wittiness of daiyu, baoyu, bao chai(???) and whoever it is.

but i feel totally tortured reading the book.

sectn outing

2005-12-09T20:30:00.000-08:00

sectn outing was cool. i learnt to cycle!!! (well, almost there. But i can balance with both legs off the ground!!!) chris and em wong were trying to rollerblade. hahs. den they fell down at the same spot!!! Lunch was great. typical stuff. chips and muffins. yum. then we tried volleyball with xuan's beach ball. hahs. we ended up chasing after the ball instead. and the seawater is really dirty. yucks. den xuan and i tried sun-tanning by lying facedown on the sand. the sea was revolving(wrong word???) into high tide den and the curents almost swept us out. but it was refreshing. and the showers. there was only one in the whole stretch of the beach and its right at the other end!!we walked like a hundred miles before we reached there. den we sort of lost our way trying to find the bus stop.
darn tired. and muscles ache.

yay

2005-12-07T05:13:00.000-08:00

i finished 3 pieces of homework!!
feel so accomplished, considering the fact that i din do anything for the past few weeks. hahs.
but there's still like a ton of homework left.
sigh.

my new-old phone

2005-12-06T03:00:00.000-08:00

i got a new phone to replace my lost phone. well, i cant upgrade until march, so have to settle with a lousy one that has buttons so small that my thumb hurts after pressing for a while. sucky day. and i lost all my contacts.. bothering all those whose phone numbers i memorized to send me all the numbers. haiz. i cant wait for march. den i can get rid of this lao-ya pok phone.

harry potter the third time

2005-12-05T05:18:00.000-08:00

i watched harry potter and the goblet of fire the third time!! this time is was free though. went to the shaw house at bugis. the box office was isolated from the shopping mall, and sis and i thought the theatres were above the box office. but we went all the way up and ended up on the rooftop!! den we followed this bunch of girls and got to the theatres--which were inside the shopping mall!! den the theatre was so dark we couldnt find pur seats, so ended up sitting at the corner. den we went for neoprints and thats the last place i saw my phone in my hand. and stupid me only realised i lost my phone when we reached kovan, happily on our way to shop. sigh. and now mum is barking my head off. sigh again.

a very typical sunday noon

2005-12-03T23:51:00.000-08:00

its sunday, and i am bored to death. sis is still at camp, so have nobody to gossip with. and all my cousins present are are entertaining themselves with their barbie dolls. sigh. wanna watch new york minute now, but sis is not back yet. sigh again. there's soo much homework left, and i cant get anything done coz i have already forgotten all the sec three stuff. dead end any other way. the only thing i am looking forward to is the star awards tonight. this year is like the most challenging and unpredictable one after so many years. with the readmission of the artistes and all. the only thing that may be keeping me busy is the job at patson's. if i get to work at all. sigh.
fantasizing about harry potter. wondering how it is like to live as a witch, attending hogwarts and all. wiccan is just a far-fetched fantasy, but it cant hurt to daydream a little, especially since i have nothing better to do.
this holiday is even worse than all the other ones.

yoz

2005-12-01T05:29:00.000-08:00

I watched harry potter--again!!
Its nicer the first time, probably coz u dun noe wad will be happening..but the second time is quite nice too!!
haha.
=))

harry potter

2005-11-28T18:25:00.000-08:00

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire simply rocks man. It was better than the last one. I watched only two anyway. Quite high now. But I supposed my mood has started going downhill.Trying to get this stupid thing in order. It is ruining my holiday for goodness sake.

moving house

2005-11-27T18:30:00.000-08:00

gosh.
i haven did so much housework since dun noe when. and my muscles are aching like hell. it was torturous to wake up so darn early every morning just to go to our new house and wash the floor. thankfully its over. now i can finally rest.
bliss.

cruise trip!!!

2005-11-24T19:36:00.000-08:00

This has been the greatest trip so far, despite the few minor setbacks that put all of us in a pretty bad mood.

On the first day, we embarked on the gigantic ship with a joyous mood, and after all those necessary procedures and so on, we unpacked and went for a second lunch--where else but the popular Mediterranean Buffet!!Then we went on to our favourite pasttime and exchanged $50 worth of tokens. -____-
Dinner was great, first at The Pavillion and then the Mediterranean Buffet for desserts. I realised the most I did there was eat and eat. But seriously, its hard to resist when all these food are practically calling for you to eat them. You can put on 5 kg just on that trip man. Tropicalia was awesome!! But i sort of enjoyed the salsa more than the performance by the chinese acrobats. The dance moves are really captivating, even more so on this trip, which I had no idea why. We whislt time away at the arcade and i found out something--my finger coordination really sucked, even though i have been playing the sax for like how long?? I have to go around in a paper bag if anyone ever caught me playing the electric guitar. hmm. All of us were too enthusiastic to sleep early, so we went to eat--again!! This time for supper at the buffet. Simply heavenly, even though my stomach was pretty bloated by the end of it.

Second day--Penang
I couldn't quite remember what we did before we disembarked but Penang was ok. But I think I would have more fun if we didn't choose that tour..any other tour that involved more shopping would be better. But too bad. We went to the batik factory first. It was really cool!! All those handmade designs that required such a large amount of patience and skill. And the fabrics are really pretty..and the price is really pretty too. Sigh. I wouldn't mind having one of those shirts. Then we journeyed a looong way to the butterfly farm, with the tour guide's incessant chattering. He seemed to be more interested in telling us about his own life than about Penang for that matter. And he is really sarcastic. I wonder if he is even licenced. The butterfly farm was a horror movie made into reality. Or at least, for scaredy-cats like me, who is afraid of everything on earth. The farm was NOT caged!!And the butterflies were just flying around all those plants. Some even got into those air-conditioned rooms!! I was scared out of my wits just walking along the trail, with all kinds of butterflies flying everywhere, and some even brushed by my hands. And there were these huge moths hanging on a plant with big, lobey leaves. So still that initially I thought they were fakes until the irritating tour guide went and poke one of the moths and it flew. And I was even more terrified because the moths were all bigger than my palm plus my fingers!!!By the time we left that creepy place, I was sweating buckets. Next was a spice route along one of the forestry mountains far away from the town area--I couldn't remember which one. And..mosquitoes!!It was like another heritage trail, except that this one is about the spices that are grown in the plantations on Penang. Or whatever lah. Then there was this foodstore that sell snacks. I don't see how delicious they are, but all the adults were practically snatching the boxes off the shelves. On the ship, we had dinner at the same places, and coincidentally enough, on the same tables at the two restaurants too!! After that was a musical put up by the crew staff: Beyond Broadway. It features all those famous musicals from Broadway to London. The crew was really hilarious. There was a part when the males dressed up as bimbos and tried to put in some sexy moves. I couldn't stop laughing man. That really took guts, to stand up there in front of how many hundreds of people and wear those little pieces of fabric and dancing like that. In order to get to Phuket in time the next day, the ship moved faster than usual. And I almost got seasick.
Ew.

Third day--Phuket
We had to wake up really early and grab breakfast before disembarking. And I saw my first sunrise in 15 years! It wasn't as beautiful as i expected it to be..but maybe i was at the wrong side of the earth??Luckily, the tour guide this time was better and nicer. In a way. We went to the handicraft store first. It was a huge departmental-like store stuck out of nowhere but the service is really efficient. The first level sold jewellery. And they even showed us how they carved and polished a simple piece of metal until they became jewellery. Second level was more interesting. There were candles of all shapes and sizes..And there were even some which are transparent!!But due to financial constraints, we couldn't possibly buy everything we wanted. After that was the most exciting place of all--the monkey training school/the elephant camp/the home for cobra. I fed the monkeys!! Haha. So fun. I watched the monkey show before,and I wanted to watch the cobra show. But the rest decided on the the monkey show. Sigh. Pity. But there was an act when the trainer released the leash and the monkey climbed onto the bleachers!!!Right beside me!!!I was trying to crawl my way out lah. I don't even dare to shake hands with the monkey for photographs!! And the monkey actually climbed up beside me!!AHHH. But he didn't hurt me or anything lah. He is tamed. But I was in that irrational state of mind in a moment of panic and who bothers to think so much??Then we went for an elephant ride! It was so fun.The elephants are soo cute. Big and bulky and all, they are such gentle creatures. Guess what my favourite animal is now??=___=
After that we had lunch at a shopping centre called Big C. We had KFC. And it was so much cheaper there!!!It was only S$4 for one huge bucket of chicken!!!Its so unfair. Why must everything be cheaper there??I think they are having this EOY clearance sale also, coz EVERYTHING was soooo cheap!! We bought 2 huge bags of clothes, shoes and chewing gum, which in the end, could not be squeezed into our luggage. For tea, I had a triple chocolate ice cream!! that perked me up!!That night we had gala dinner, and we were supposed to dress up and attend the dinner. But since when do asians ever take dressing up seriously?? The only people in gowns and tuxedoes are those caucasians. Then we went to watch the Kingdom of Kungfu put up by some monks from shaolin and the cast of Tropicalia. I enjoyed the dance by the Europeans and Brazilians more though. After two days out on land and getting tortured by the sun,I was worn out. So,went to bed early, which was a good thing coz the ship was practically speeding, as fast as such a big ship can go.

Last day
The day started off with a late breakfast. Then we went to watch Hitch. Quite funny lah. Just like any typical american movie. But I missed The Aviator and The Day After Tomorrow. Sigh. Went to the arcade to finish off all the tokens. Then we packed and ate during tea time. Read in our cabin until about 5.30, then we went to gather in the Galaxy of the Stars and await disembarkation. Went around snapping photographs of the scenery to kill time. And then we were off the ship at almost 8, which was further delayed by the immgration rules and the fact that all the people were eager to get home and were squeezing in the already crowded escalator. Darn tired after the trip,especially with band the next day. But it was worth it!! Yay!!!

I did the best I could to record every single detail of this fantastic trip so that i can remember it forever. I look forward to another trip!! Hopefully soon enough.

*she tried to put M&M's in alphabetical order.

*she tried to drown a fish.
*she thought a quarterback was a refund.

Did you hear about the blonde that...
Couldn't learn to water ski because she couldn't find a lake with a slope.Got excited because she finished a jigsaw puzzle in 6 months and the box said "2 to 4 years"Couldn't call 911 because there was no 11 on any phone button.When asked what the capital of California was; answered "C".Baked a turkey for 3 days because the instructions said 1 hour per pound and she weighed 125.After losing in a breaststroke swimming competition, complained that the other swimmers were using their arms.

3)
A blonde hurries into the emergency room late one night with the tip of her index finger shot off. "How did this happen?" the emergency room doctor asked her. "Well, I was trying to commit suicide", the blonde replied. "What?" sputtered the doctor. "You tried to commit suicide by shooting your finger off?""No, Silly!" the blonde said. "First I put the gun to my chest, and I thought: I just paid $6,000.00 for these breast implants, I'm not shooting myself in the chest." "And then?" asked the doctor. "Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid $3000.00 to get my teeth straightened, I'm not shooting myself in the mouth." "And then?" "Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going to make a loud noise. So I put my finger in the other ear before I pulled the trigger."

If blondes and bimbos were the same thing, the prefix 'bim' could be used to create new words that describe them:
Bimbabble - noises coming from a group of blondes
Bimbaffled - constant mental state of blondes
Bimbait - short skirts, sheer blouses, string bikinis or other clothing worn by blondes in an attempt to attract the attention of males
Bimbar - a bar where blondes hang out wearing bimbait
Bimbag - a blonde's purse
Bimbrushes - essential equipment in a bimbag
Bimbastic surgeon - specialist in breast enhancements for blondes
Bimbeeper - special instrument used as a homing device for lost blondes
Bimbellow - sound emanating from a blonde after she finally got the most recent blonde joke she heard
Bimbillion? - a blonde giving an estimate of anything
Bimblaze - the result of a blonde trying to cook
Bimblues - a blonde's state of mind after her latest boyfriend ditched her
Bimboette - a young blonde
Bimbonese - language spoken by blondes, largely unintelligible to anyone else
Bimbonique behavior - airhead behavior, unique to blondes
Bimboozle - to fool a blonde
Bimbore - a blonde who uses "like" more than 10 times in a sentence
Bimbozo - another name for a blonde
Bimboron - a blonde even less intelligent than most other blondes
Bimbrownie - a well-tanned blonde
Bimbrunette - a blonde who dyes her hair brunette, usually to appear smarter than she actually is
Bimburden - blonde carrying too many bags at the mall

its sort of sexist and mean, the way a lot of ppl seem to think of female blondes as bimbos.but u have to admit, these jokes are darn funny!!!

dengue

2005-10-25T16:20:00.000-07:00

freedom finally!

after soo many sleepless and toturous nights, i am finally discharged.it was really horrible..having to stay all alone in that dinghy room in the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Sengand having thousands of needles poke through every available part of your body.the worst were the blood tests. the first thing when i woke up was having a needle poke through my arm until its bruised and cannot be poked anymore.then the nurses have to find some new vein the next day to draw one bottle of blood out and the whole cycle repeats.the drip was ok, just very troublesome as u have to wait for the nurses to respond to your call before doing anything.like going toilet.and it doesnt hurt at all, except when the doctor first poke it in.and the food was pretty tasteless.bleargh.

thank goodness i made a din about being discharged today.now there's like millions of red spots all over the body.and they ITCH.luckily they are all inside the skin or else all these tiny spots will be broken by me.shall concentrate on getting enough rest and preparing for Os which is like in 5 days time!!

i am soo sooper happy!

post exam

2005-10-17T21:00:00.000-07:00

exam papers were..indescribable.how to say?just that it wasnt my best?
its funny how humans can get so affected by emotions.or tt there's place for the human heart to harbour so much despise.and hatred.

wadeva.
i'm sprouting nonsense.

2005-10-16T03:20:00.000-07:00

i will try. =)

hols but not hols

2005-09-05T21:51:00.000-07:00

something's wrong with blogger.can only get in at the third try.but anyway.today is not really an eventful day,just updating my blog for the sake of updating.so, bye. =)

summary

2005-09-03T23:26:00.000-07:00

basically, juz summing up these few days.
i noe i am really slow, but i finally finished harry potter.and i feel like yanking snape from the book and wrenching his neck.voldemort too.i hope all the horcuxes rot with all his souls inside dem.hahs.i sound real agitated over a storybook.emotions at high tide recently.with so many things happening at the same time.and the superstar.i sound very mean, but thats wad they say, singing as a career is cruel.u either accept the criticisms or dun be a singer at all.and all i can say is, its really pathetic for weilian to win based on sympathy votes, although not entirely.and to be a superstar who can only sing old songs and whose fan club's president is his own sister.and he is such a sore loser, giving that black face when all the judges chose kelly.is it even so hard to pretend to be happy?will a smile kill?ok.enough abt that.all i noe is tt kelly got a universal contract,which she deserves. =)
open house was pathetic.the seats were not even half full for every session.and the majority of the audience are our own pupils.and nobody went to see out board at all,when we spent so much time doing.

hols but not hols.sigh.

a bit outdated..but here goes.

after two days of rockclimbing, i got:
1. a sunburn which leaves my face sooper hot even today
2. a muscle ache(but luckily not too bad)
3. a few minutes of helmet hair
4. to conquer my fear of heights
5. to learn to trust my friends
6. to get on the flying fox, abseiling, the challenge rope course and the rock wall!
7. to learn belaying, anchoring, supporting and managing the rope! (hahhahas)
8. to learn that encouragement from your friends is really impt, especially when u are facing your fears
9. to learn that my face burns really easily
10. to learn that the harness is really impt unless u wanna experience the full force of free fall

in conclusion
this outdoor activity is really enjoyable!

2005-08-10T14:33:00.000-07:00

i bet my blog has never been this active.
just shows the extent of my boredom
hmm.
finally got to the last book of the shopaholic series.
and its getting a bit boring.
i think sophie kinsella's humour sort of ran out?
but i think its better reading "trashy" stuff (as phyllinda calls it) than doing homework.

angel:
stop it u slacker.
its time to stop procrastinating and work hard for once.
exams are just less than 2 months away.

devil:
this is the hols. u should be given the chance to relax and enjoy yourself. who cares abt homework?

wells.

national day!

2005-08-09T22:30:00.000-07:00

hols!!
hahas.
just recovered from my backache from the parade this morning.
getting really old..having backaches so soon.
lousy me.

i realised something from the 2 parades today:
uniform groups are cool!
if the contingent is neat and everything is coordinated properly.

alrites.
happy birthday Singapore!

rehearsal

2005-08-07T18:41:00.000-07:00

hahas.
quite an interesting day.

just found out how competitive humans can be.
and how competitiveness can lead to the destruction of peace and the creation of hatred.
i mean i am not tt dense to realise this only now.
but i suppose i am naive enough to only realise the extent of it now.

wells.
hope that all's well will end well.

sucky day

2005-08-02T21:02:00.000-07:00

in conclusion
luck is not with me today.
