Waiting for the year to end...

Terrible year. Won't it just end already???
I know Christmas is coming in a few days and I should be happy I kinda finished my work but...IT SUCKS. There is no Christmas spirit or rather I don't feel it. ):
AHHHHHHHHHHH!
Get well soon k? uoytraehi

Built to last

'cause you are the sun in my universe
considered the best when we've felt the worst
and most of all... it's built to last.

Yesterday was an interesting day (:
Mummy used g(x) as 'free labour'. And he happily obliged. This means things are getting better I guess. While washing the car, Mummy was using hand gestures, asking me to throw some water on him. Haha. Then she acted innocent. Funny woman. Ah good day, it was. (:
Went to do payroll at Periama's office today, had dinner with Mr Tan then got home.
I'm sorry for losing my temper. It's just all the shouting. I'm not angry at you so don't feel that I am.

Progress with homework's been good. I am determined to finish it by Christmas. Econs is the worst though. KILLA. shawty was a killa.
So far I've read 2 books. The Kite Runner and Notes on a Scandal. Reading Forget-me-not now.
Come on, Mad, you can do it!

Plans

The A levels are over and done with. Job well done (:
(I speak as though I was the one going through it :P )

The holidays are almost half gone or is it already half gone? All I have done is my GP work and it's still not complete. That leaves econs, chem and math revision?
I've been reading an interesting book recently...That's been taking up my homework time. I should stop reading, seriously.

Tomorrow's a special day!

I plan to make everyday a special day. We gotta make a to-do list. (I'm suddenly reminded of the graffiti on the table which read "You're on my to-do list". That's very sick.)

Peiyi flew to Beijing today. So sad. Happy for her though. She will have Tuna everyday. Haha. She will also get to soak up the presence of Michael Phelps- the 'sexy bone' guy. Apparently, he's known as the greatest Olympian of all time. Did you know that? Hmmm...
I read in some magazine that he is dating two girls at the same time because he wants to keep his options open. Yeah. That's interesting. I still stand firm when I say he is not that good looking and his body is not that hot. But the 'sexy bone', is sexy. Haha.

Oh. I must remember to make a date with Jiajuan when she is free. If you see this, please tell me when you are free, alright? Lunch or something.

Wu Zhong

Gor gor got discharged from NUH yesterday. So poor thing, my brother.
Went to see my function graph after gor gor (this is very unnatural) was discharged.We played Cooking Mama and g(x) is a pro. I need to brush up on my Chinese if not next time I will face some language barrier like the ladies in Joy Luck Club. EL vs CL. Ironically, my CL is my best subject (because I'm in ACJC). I'm sure my A level results will be C or worse ):
It started to rain cats and dogs, fish and frogs and I wondered how in the world they were going to barbeque in such weather. Decided to go in the end after py sort of shouted at me saying "Don't tell me you're not going?!"
Next dumb thing: I called py to ask her whether she could pick me up from the bus stop when I reached. She thought I was there already and she waited for me at the bus stop for many many minutes. SORRY - seems to be the hardest word. Good friend la. (:
Dumb thing #2: The rain had reduced to a drizzle by the time I reached. =D

The food lived up to my expectations. Hehe.
Chicken wasn't good. Fried rice was good. Water, always good.
Good company - priceless.
I think 4p2 seems really attached to BP. Teachers' Day we had the most people go back (I think) and last night the turn out was good too. I miss good company! Even after not seeing each other for a long time, we can still talk. That's great considering I hardly talk to my current classmates. But it's ok. Some people aren't worth my time. I'm starting to get pissed off. Haha. I shall stop it...
Took lots of pictures. I spent a lot of time trying to hide from Tiger. Mr Tom Chan still remembers my name. Principal Lee made py very happy. Again. Haha.
Another good day.

Today too. You make my day everyday LA. Haha.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

I was late meeting py today. Actually, I don't really have that sense of urgency since its for PW. And we all know how much I love PW...
Min decided he wasn't able to make it. Ok.
Jennifer said she couldn't either. Ok.
So it's just Jake, py and I.
At least the 3 of us made good use of our time. Was rather pissed though, but I believe I was able to conceal my emotions well.

Py and I decided to go to the gym. I just want to run. Run the frustration away. It feels good.
I remember looking at the number of calories burned. 33. Whoa well done Madelene. You just got rid of 3 french fries. Ran for 40 minutes. Achievement!
Slowly, the gym got crowded. I believe they were the badminton players. So py and I decided to move to the other side of the gym where we could work out in peace. Not even a minute later, they stalked us! Oh well, forget it then. Time to shower.
The water was nice and cold. But why is the water jet so strong?! It hurt. ):

Poh was late again. I state, AGAIN. So we made a detour to the canteen to get Milo. Walking back to the gate, he still wasn't there. Then in the distance, we saw someone with the red sweater. I thought, "Hmmm. Red sweater? But no green bag." But it turned out to be him. So py passed him the thingy and wished him luck. While that was in progress, all I wanted to do was laugh. And of course, I was wishing SOMEBODY good luck too.

Every night I say a prayer for you. I pray you are safe and happy. That's all I pray for.

Headed to Subway for lunch. Chicken breast again. It tastes good! Same as py, but without the tomatoes (: Then off to town... Tired. Town makes me tired. ):

Went back to BV. I know I was deep in thought. Now I feel sorry. It's been a long day yet...

My life is so full of drama. ):

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

I shall question no more. There are many things I don't understand but I trust things will work out the way it is meant to.

I'll stand by you

It's midnight and i'm tired from all the walking around today. Yet, the smile comes so naturally. Now, this is happiness.
Bliss.

Thank you.
Because you mean everything...

You, You, YOU!

Good luck! (:

You have my support, always.

So little things, so much time?

I seem to be very free these few days. Maybe I should be studying for Chinese A levels or practising or trying to improve my OP...
I studied Mr Teng Ye and Praise Bee today. But by the time I got to Praise Bee, I was already half asleep. All I remember now is the sentence "mi feng niang mi de fang fa"...
We did another OP run today. I feel more relaxed with it now. Maybe I was being too laid back. I didn't take the run seriously. However, the comments today are similar to those for OP prelims. Loud and clear. But...Little eye contact?! IMPOSSIBLE. I was looking and seeing the audience. And I looked at Madam many times. But she wasn't looking at me! Then I have to keep looking left to look at her but she only looked up once! Ok...As long as I know I have good eye contact. It will not be a problem on the 6th of November. Madam said I'm more prepared today. Yeah, I guess. Somehow, I am still able to regurgitate a lot of my script. Shall edit a bit of my slides. (: I will try to have more variation of tone. But I seriously doubt there can be much of a difference in 2 weeks?

HAPPY, HAPPY! I am promoted! Not advanced. Round of applause, please! (:
I don't see the moderation anywhere la. Haha. But never mind. I freaking got promoted. YAY.
Wa. Jiawei (a.k.a Handsome), so pro. Lowest is a C. And so many As. I don't even have 1 A. I promise myself, I must get an A before I leave JC. I hope...

Another great day though. Lots of laughter. Lots of smiles.
Honey is sweet (:

Sweet (:

I didn't go to school today. Woke up usual time, which is 5:05 (yes, 5:05!) and pondered on whether I should go to school or not. After a long time deliberating (like 10s), I decided...NAH. I want to go back to sleep. My bed is just way too comfy. But seriously...I don't 'pon' school for no reason. I'm not that bad a girl. Just not too well. Ok la, for personal reasons I shall not share the details. Haha.

Ok I got to spend the day as best as it could be despite a nagging pain that's yet to fade. I'm just glad everything is back to the normal happy way. Of course, being happier wouldn't hurt. (:

Was on Youtube most of the day. Zac Efron is very dramatic. HAHA. Haven't watched Savin' Me in a long time so decided to watch it in the afternoon. Just a few minutes ago reading py's blog, it reads "show me what it's like to be the last one standing". Whoa freaky. We must have some telepathy thing. It's FATE, py. FATE. And I bet you enjoyed school today huh. Iguana/Dragon/PIC. Who the hell would hyperventilate beside him la. LOL.
Let me attempt to make you slightly jealous. =D
Favourite guy. Tennis. =D
Jealous? Haha.
Sorry for abandoning you another day. I will bring chocolate and Zoo Tycoon for you tomorrow. Hopefully. Haha.

School these last few days are sian man. I keep forgetting to bring my ke ben so I can't really do my work. And when it's PW, it's just OP runs. And when you are not presenting, it's as boring as hell. But you are forced against your will to be "a good audience". And I'm stressed about OP. It's on the 6th of November. I have to find some way to make my voice sound more enthusiastic and have more variation of tone. Ok fine. My voice is monotonous. T.T

PW is crap.


All my life, I'll be with you forever, to get you through the day and make everything ok...

Think about it

Interesting.

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As she would have to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies. She sat down in an armchair in the VIP room of the airport to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down beside her. He opened his magazine and started reading.
When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: "What the nerve...If I were in the mood, I'd punch him for daring!"
For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to start a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: "What will he do now?"
Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half.
That was too much. She was much too angry now. In a huff, she took her book and her things and stormed to the boarding place.
When she sat down in the plane, she looked into her purse for her eyeglasses. To her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened.
She felt ashamed. She realised that she was wrong and had forgotten that her cookies were in her purse. The man had divided his cookies with her. He felt no anger or bitterness. Meanwhile, she had been very angry thinking she was dividing her cookies with him. And now, there was no chance to explain herself nor to apologise.

The moral of the story...
There are 4 things that you cannot recover.
1) The stone after the throw.
2) The word after it's said.
3) The occasion after the loss.
4) The time after it's gone.

Has anyone ever told you just how special you are?
The light you shine might even light a star.
Has anyone ever told you how important you make them feel?
Somebody out there is smiling about a love so true.


Sometimes, you feel so insignificant but truth is, you are everything to someone.



You're the perfect thing to say.
I'm sorry.

Smile (:

Don't be angry ): So scary.
Remember to smile.
SO CUTE (:

OGL interview today.
HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF IT COULD CHUCK WOOD?
SAY WHAT?!?!
All of them so stern. I hope it's just a facade. If not I'm pretty much screwed.

As i said, you give me crap, I shall reciprocate crap.
I wonder if I'll make it. If I make it... YAY. If I don't then never mind lor. Haha. Oh well.

Then it was more PW. Py and I ate at CWP first. We shared dessert. Such watery chendol.
PW is as sian as ever. I'm only glad that is going to be over really soon. I hope I get a B at least. A seems a bit farfetched.

Oh and did I mention I passed my promos. As Ed would put it, verbatim: "I #$*%*#%& passed!" Silly me, I thought 37.5/80 was a fail. No longer in secondary school, my dear. And I almost had YOU fooled. But I guess my stupid grin gave it away. AH I CANT HELP IT. Just really happy. You are a good influence. (:
Hmmm. But my CA really sucks. Can I be very sure it won't pull my marks down? I don't totally understand what Mr Ho said. Oh well, gotta see. But before then, I must remain optimistic. YES, I must!

Everyday is a great day!

With you I could walk miles and not tire, fall and know I will be caught, cry and know those tears will be wiped away, smile and mean it.
These words are my own. (:

P.O day

PW sucks. Need I say more? Those who enjoy PW, so sorry but you are SICK.

I don't see the need to complain. Just do your freaking parts. It's as simple as that. I can't be bothered if you hate my guts now. I just want to get PW out of the way, out of my life.
Py and I have done so much. I am so proud of us. At least when we see the results we can tell ourselves, "We deserve it." But of course if the results aren't that good then...PW is unfair. It is a useless thing that has no meaning for existence!
Ah! It only serves to piss me off. ):
And now there's PW every day. Chinese too. Wonderful...

But thank YOU for making me feel so much better. You know who you are! =D
It's amazing how it all just fades away...

I refuse to not do well for OP. I MUST. My last chance to save my own posterior.
I CAN DO IT!

Faith

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5,6

There are things I will never understand but I am reassured.
I trust.

Thank You because I have all that I will ever need.

I heart you =D

Hehe.
Chem sucks.
yay its over (:

Time is my enemy

Time is stealing what's most precious.
CURSE YOU, TIME.

Carlyn,
I think you're the only one interested in reading anything. Haha. But I will remain ambiguous with my words. So no direct updates. Just know that, my life is really eventful now. Hmmm. Yes, it is. (:

I have given up on the AQ. I never knew such an AQ could come up? Or is it just a way to waste our time. I really wonder.

My whole day of watching the Olympics has resulted in no work being done. Other than those 2 hours. But I took a break to watch Phelps win his 8th Gold. Congrats. But you're not as hot as py says you are. -.- Different taste.
And then there was Fencing. Men's Sabre team. I guess France won the USA. I think the gap was too big for the USA to catch up with. So I stopped watching and ate my dinner. Congrats to Italy. 45-44. And to think that the Russian Federation was leading all the way till 44-44. And I know how it feels to be in their shoes. Losing at the very,very, very last minute is a very, very, very SAD thing. Haha. Eh not bad I still remember how to preside. Most of my calls were accurate. Video replays are a smart new thing.

Ok I should sleep now. I gotta wake up at 5 so I won't be late. Haha. Someone's always early.
Goodnight beautiful world (:

Thursday, July 31, 2008

everything.

You are the strength that keeps me walking.
You are the hope that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose, you're everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me, how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in, take me deeper now.

Sunday, July 20, 2008

(:

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok



I'm hooked.

Friday, July 18, 2008

Oops! My bad.

I can't recall anything that happened before Wednesday. My memory doesn't go back that far... I think I'm way too tired and achy all over. ):

We had the leadership module this Wednesday. Py and I signed up for the Leadership Challenge, unaware that Cassie, Rebecca, Angela and Shiang Ming also signed up for it. At least we had good company. Ok la. It was alright. Mr Sim was boasting about losing 13kg. The power of will and determination. I really don't know how he managed to do that. But I do remember seeing him gyming on Youth Day. Cherene and I went to the gym to get the keys for the squash courts and we saw him. Not bad eh. At first he was like a machine. When we returned from opening the courts, he slowed down already. Haha. But still, not bad... Ok. We had to make a egg holder out of different materials. Budget: $4. We would be judged firstly on whether the egg broke if we released it from a height of 3m. Also by how economical and aesthetically pleasing it looked. We were given free tissue from the DM cos we were so pitiful sitting on the floor. You know what? I think some guys are really... *shakes head* They should sit on the floor and let the girls sit on the chairs right. Dumb. Oh well. It's not like I expected the guys to be so chivalrous. Every 15min or so, I would get pins and needles. And py would want to smack my leg and make me laugh/cry!
So this was how we constructed our egg holder. We wrapped the egg with the free tissue and used 3 Ziploc bags to surround it. Simple. But it was quite ugly. Cos the scotch tape they provided us with was the cheapo, crappy ones which hardly stick. It was far from aesthetically pleasing. But it worked. The egg didn't break! And our egg holder was named the most effective one. HAHA! With a group like ours, you can't go wrong. =P

Had squash after the leadership module. The DSA candidates were there. It's really nice to watch them play. I love that sound man. The sound of repressed anger! HAHA. Joking. But it's true. Squash is good for venting. Not so for fencing. Cos when fencing, and you're pissed, you tend to do things too rashly without analysing your moves. That's for me I mean. It's only really damn shuang when you score and then you can scream or shout or whatever.
We've noticed some holes in the walls. Wonder who did that...
Bad news from Cherene. ): But there seems to be a solution so let's just pray it works out. She was so angsty. And she kept running. I know it was my suggestion initially but I didn't wanna run so much. My leg is hurting like crap now. But I won't let you run alone!!! So I kept going...to keep you company. I hope you're feeling better now. (: I don't even think you know this blog exists but... Haha. I am talking to myself again.
Training didn't last long so Cherene and I continued playing. Samson joined us for awhile. He sure hits hard man... Scary. We played till 1930 or so. Water never tasted so good. All that running around kills.
Congrats to Faisal, Wenjing and Samson. School team eh. Haha. Not bad.
I think everyone joined the Recreational League. Should be fun.

Thursday was another amusing day. We had listening comprehension after school. We headed over to the sports complex first so py could get her PE attire and so that we could get some peace, away from all the commotion. And that's when it happened. We went to the toilet. And that woman just stripped in the open. She walked into the toilet with her bikini. Next thing I knew, there goes her panties. I didn't need to see that. I ran out, rather disgusted.
LC was easy. It should be a perfect score. I can't believe Chinese is actually my best subject now. Along with econs. B.
The fun came after the paper while at the candeck. Those present should know what happened la. Haha. What a joke. While on the way back too. Something is up? That's my intuition. "Oops. My bad." And as py mentioned on the tagboard about the hairpin. Haha. It was just so darn funny. Kept laughing. Actually...I am sort of over it already la. It was only amusing for that one and a half days.

Played basketball for PE today. I haven't played for 6 months or more? At least I don't remember playing it this year. Oh man... Now I remember why I used to play it almost every day after school.
The guys said that I am a very aggressive player. I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult. Very unladylike is it? The guys always play rough with me too. I kicked De Ming accidentally yesterday during soccer and it's quite badly injured. Cos I still see the mark there. Ouch. Sorry. But I fell on one knee today. I only noticed the abrasions while taking a shower cos it hurt and burned very badly all of a sudden. I don't know which two guys, while attempting to steal the ball from me, pushed me and grabbed my arm along with the ball. I couldn't break free! Haha. But it was a good game. And we won. We high-fived to that. (:

I really wonder why some people would change just to fit in and be one of the "cool" ones. I'm never gonna do that just to be accepted to be one of them. There's nothing wrong with me in the first place. I am perfectly contented with what I see in myself. Py is right. So what if we are "different"? We're different in the all the right ways. What I see in them is the exact opposite of what I wanna be. No. I am not gonna be like them. I will not conform.

Jeremy says The Dark Knight is really good. Obviously...And it's Heath Ledger's final piece of work and aptly so, maybe one of his best. Will I be sad watching it? Maybe. He was just too young, taken away at his peak. Isn't it funny how life plays out? Sigh. I've seen pictures of his loved ones. Little baby Matilda oblivious to her father's death smiling while family mourns. I just feel a little pinch inside. It's just sad. SAD!!! Probably one of the worst things I've heard all year.

Some people are so persistent. Are they just blind? I suppose those words were meant to move me. They failed miserably. It only succeeded in making me that bit angrier about it all. I don't wanna hear anything anymore. Just leave...

Ya ya. Emo kid. I know. Let me have my moment. I'm pissed!

Interact installation tomorrow. Gotta usher. Goodnight.

Friday, July 11, 2008

Say it again, for me.

Today started out like crap. This morning, I had sinus again so I kept sneezing. I asked my maid to warm up some water for me but instead she boiled it. I almost drank the darn thing! Come to think of it, this isn't the first time my maid has almost scalded me. She's done it twice already. Both instances with the hot pan. -.-
So the sneezing continued while in the cab as well. Sicko. Ha. I wanna watch "Sicko".

I've decided to have a healthy day today. And I decided that I have to cleanse my system too.
Breakfast: Yoghurt, muesli bar, one sinful muffin and a waffle, mango milk shake!
Crap. I shouldn't have had that waffle. It made me feel even more sick. Now looking at it, I think I ate a lot. ): But I'm always hungry! Dammit! What if I get fat?!

The first 1h20min of the day was at the NL. And I don't know why it seems that wherever I sit gets the strongest blast from the aircon. To illustrate the magnitude of the blast: My specs on the table actually was moving cos the aircon was so strong. -.- I felt like I was going to die. I've almost never felt this cold before. AND...He doesn't smell too good. Ok. Who am I kidding? He doesn't smell good AT ALL. He smells like an old person. You know, that smell? I think he probably doesn't bathe in the morning. I could never understand how people can not shower before coming to school. Whether you know it or not, everyone perspires at night, there's millions and millions of dust mites on your bed, all the sebum and oil accumulates. At the very least make sure you smell good before you go anywhere away from home. And if you're dirty, please don't touch other people or their stuff! Maybe I'm a bit too particular about this kinda hygiene issues. I always have my baby wipes, tissue paper and Dettol hand sanitiser with me. And I don't have OCD!
By the time we started PE, we were already 20min late. Which is half of the lesson gone. How fun is PE man. I don't understand how people can hate it. Even if it means running for half the period. I really don't mind. So today, we played soccer again. Only girls can score. I scored once today just as Gabriel was coming and he gave me the "WTH" look. Xin Yue was damn funny. She kept passing me the ball though I'm not in her team. Worst thing was that she was the goalkeeper. Haha. Everything was going great till i got kicked in the leg by Cassie. Just like when you just sprain your ankle -you can't move cos it feels like your feet weighs a tonne- I was quite immobile. Slowly, I started limping around. Kicking was beyond my ability then. It hurts! But I shan't be a little girl about it. Fencing was worse. All those bruises on your thighs, arms and chest? I mean, the chest protector protects the sensitive areas but the most painful area is just above the chest protector. It hurts like crap! After every competition, you're bound to have at least one very bad bruise. I will always remember that one event... I got hit straight in the knee while lunging. (That girl's blade is totally off target!) And I couldn't move. So Yuan Zi who was presiding had to massage my knee for awhile. He's a nice guy. And a pro fencer. It's so exciting to watch him fence! Yeah so he massaged my knee for me. I won't forget that match. Cos that injury cost me my win. Final score: 15-14. If I'm not wrong, that win would've confirmed a shared bronze for me.
AH!!! How I miss fencing!

Another sleepy, dreary day rolls by...
Why does physics lesson have to be so freaking boring?!?!?! And I'm wondering why I don't understand. When I am wide awake even, the teacher really can't explain well. Like WTH. C'mon man. Nothing she says registers.

Mr Ho ended lab 40min early today! So was deciding whether I should go for the econs make-up on COP or go for Interact or don't go for both. Of course the latter choice is preferred. But yeah. I gotta be a responsible member of the Interact club. Later, I found out that the econs was gonna be taught by seniors. But I much rather have consultation with Ms Mai. So...INTERACT IT IS! I was still contemplating during physics lesson whether I should gym today. I'm gonna be an usher for the Installation on the 19th. Py and I will be standing at the carpark to usher the VIPs. Then I gotta smile at them. Argh...
Chen Yang commented today that it's the first time she's seen the "Cool Madelene" laugh that hard. I nodded cooly in response. Haha. Haiya. I'm sorry I'm not one of those smiley people. I rather keep to myself. But I do say hi occasionally. What do you want me to do? Smile and walk? It's just weird.

Ok la. But after Chinese I was in quite a good mood. Before lab, we sat at the bleachers and py and I listened to music. And I really felt like singing. And I sang all the way up to the lab. I hope no one heard me. Haha. At the bleachers, I sang "Drowning" and "Guilty". While going up to the lab I was singing "How do I breathe". I laughed a lot. Probably because I can't believe I'm so full of crap la. My behaviour was really mad just now. And it continued before Interact as well. Singing and discussing econs at the void deck. Then something stupid happened. -.- There was a group of people playing truth or dare. I'm quite sure of that. The first was this guy that came to our table and lay down on it. Second was two guys who came behind me... I don't know what the hell they were doing but their friends were video-ing it. The third time, the guy asked py if he could sit between us. And of course she said no. Seriously, some people have nothing better to do. -.- Get a life la. Don't disturb people.

I decided to go for a run today. Yup. Not bad. I was surprised I could still run without stopping. But of course it's slower than usual. 20s slower to be precise. So it's 13:41 today. Whoa great. And that was over 2 hours ago and I've yet to shower. Haha. Goodbye y'all!

How do I breathe without you here by my side?
How will I see when your love brought me to the light?
Where do I go when your heart's where I lay my head?
When you're not with me, how do I breathe, how do I breathe?

broken wings

We are in this life together, even when one moves without the other.
Different pages from the same story.
This aching is familiar. It's something I remember.
We can't touch without feeling. Can't heal without healing.
Only the young could fall so hard, could be so careless and ignore the scars.
So we will move out of the way this time, making room for each other, one without the other.
We are broken, but we are moving still.

Downpour

I, I wanna feel the rain again
I, I wanna feel the water on my skin
And let it all just wash away in a downpour
I wanna feel the rain...

But not on my shoes please. (:
I see no link between "bimbo" and bringing 2 pairs of shoes to school. -.- WTH.

Yesterday, squash was such a killer. AH! I can do it man! I wish I could play as well as some of the guys. ):
Which reminds me... Before the S Cube seminar, Yun Zhang and Jen wanted to play squash, but the courts were locked. So they went to the next level to jump into the court. Seriously. Yun Zhang jumped into the court! It's freaking insane la. He should go do Le Parkour. Bet he'll be good at it. And Jen was damn funny. She was afraid she'd fall and break her leg or something. So while hanging onto the railing she kept asking Yun Zhang to catch her. Oh man! I should've recorded it. Then py and I can post it on Youtube. LOL. Was wondering whether she'd be able to climb out or not. But I'm pretty sure those who have climbed the back gate before will be able to climb back up. HAHA. I remember during PAE, I taught py how to climb the back gate, like some professional. But we recorded Jen climbing out. It wasn't as amusing as her jumping in though.

The S Cube Seminar was ok la. I was constantly distracted by the immature people behind me. Every of their sentences is punctuated by the F word. And I don't mean 'fish'. What asses. I don't understand how some guys can be so immature. And the worst thing is they think they're so cool cursing. It's so crude. Any girl who thinks that it's cool for guys to swear like that has to be mentally challenged. I can understand, in certain circumstances, that you are extremely angry with something and you say it once, but this was like some vicious tirade of Fs everywhere. It's just so sickening. As young adults, we must show the due respect to the speakers, which most weren't. Is it so difficult to just sit down and shut up for 2 hours?! No one said you cannot talk for the entire 2 hours, but you don't talk non stop and so loudly! Not when some people actually want to hear what's going on. Can you imagine being the speaker and how awful you would feel when no one's bothering to listen to what you have to say? Maybe awful isn't the word. I think I'd feel sorry for those individuals who don't even know what basic courtesy is. What a disappointment. You would think people our age could behave with maturity? SIGH!

I think Bevis is quite scared of me. Whenever he talks to me online, he'll always ask me whether I'm in a good mood first. Must be in fear that he'll get hell from me again. Haha.
I find it weird really. Raphael(my primary school pal) and I never saw each other for over 4 years until the 5/9 outing this year. It's only after that that we keep running into each other. I've seen him 3 days in a row now. At Woodlands MRT in the morning, at Causeway Point after school, EVERYWHERE! And I just met him an hour ago to do his PW survey. I don't understand why we didn't see each other for all those years. Maybe it's making up for lost time?

School was great today despite the piece of crap, 3 hours back to back lectures we have every Thursday. PE was fun. We're learning how to play soccer. Haha. Soccer seriously rocks. Too bad the ground was so wet, which got my shoes wet. Heart pain! FYI: This is the exact reason why I brought an older pair of shoes. I anticipated it. Hmmm. I shall not comment on my UNBELIEVABLE skills. Haha. What a joke. Mr Eugene Chua said "Girls play more soccer than boys" or something like that. But I heard it as "More girls play soccer than they play boys." So I kept laughing. Then I sang stupid songs like HOT STUFF and the "one way or another, I'm gonna getcha, I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha..." song. Ah crap. I'm really FON today.

That guy is damn funny today. Watcha looking at? Haha.

My bag was twice as heavy as py's.

I can whip up one mean ham sandwich! (:

Py. I don't wanna do your quiz. I have my reasons. Lol. But I will say what I think about you here.
I think you're a good friend(duh). Hardworking, always have been. Helpful, since you help me with my math and stuff. You seem to have more self-control than me. Nice to talk to since we have many common topics. Haha. Yes, you are a die hard Beckham fan- Federer too. You hate C. Ronaldo, just as I do. You like MOMO a lot, I don't. So don't worry, there's no competition from me. Lol. Quite tolerant, since you put up with all my nonsense. You understand me pretty well. I'm sure you can tell when I'm upset la. But then again, you're quite cold sometimes. You're very hard to read. And a lot more la. If anyone wants me to tell them what I think about them, just tell me. I'll give my honest opinion, if any.

Fate, faith, and other F words.

Fate: That guy. And that other guy too. Today, more of the other guy. "waiting" (inside joke). =D
Faith: Keep the faith. My faith is strong. Then there's her. That Faith. You guys, don't be so bad. She's a good tutor.

Other F words:
1) Food: I'm eating too much.
2) Fruits: My fruits seemed squishy and gross so I had to throw them away! NO!!! My cherries and blueberries! T.T
3) F***: They stink. Fish.
4) Flowers: Some make me sneeze. I like fake ones cos they don't die. My love is a red red rose. But roses die. So somehow, it feels like love dies too. Since roses and flowers are synonymous with love. LOL.
5) F***: No comments.
6) Friends: A close few. I'm sort of an outcast really. Just py and I then. LOL. Couple. Together forever! Though she'd dump me without a second thought, without batting an eye - for MOMO. Nah. I have some. In AC a few, especially my OG mates. So fun buying underwear for other people's birthday. Ha!
7) Frenemy: I don't think so.
8) Federer: So sorry. I support you always. Not Nadal.
9) French fries: I don't eat them anymore. 11 calories each?
.
.
.

Late already la. No mood. Haha. But before I bid farewell, I shall remember what Mrs Jai Singh said. "Sex slave". LOL.
Good luck (: and good night.

Finally found

For over 50 years, ASICS has produced high quality, technically innovative sports and fitness products. The name, ASICS, is an acronym from the Latin phrase, "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano", which translates simply to "a sound mind in a sound body."

Cool. I trust their products. They're the most comfortable sports shoes I've ever tried on. But they cost a bomb. I bought mine at $243. But I see the prices going down quite a bit for some models. Mine has yet to. If it goes down, I'll probably get the same one again. Lol. That's how much I love the shoe. It's as light as air, has good support etc. It may not look very good, but who cares! Sometimes you gotta sacrifice looks for comfort and performance. (:

I've discovered that when you're looking for something, you never find it. The converse is true. I was looking for a bag today, but instead I found a shoe which I gave up looking for. And couldn't find the bag. Why does life have to be so...complicated? Tsk.

Went back to school to play squash with Cherene. I was feeling really lethargic. No energy whatsoever. Ate my Quaker S'mores, still no effect. Went to the gym after that for about 45 min? My legs are so flabby. HAHA. Not very la, but still, not as nice as they used to be when I was still fencing. I used to be able to do lunges so effortlessly. Now I struggle after a few. Man, oh man. Since we've gotta pay $10 a month for sports complex fees, we should really utilise it. I don't understand those people who pay and don't use it. I mean if you're on FA then of course, who cares! It's such a waste if you don't use it.
Anyway, saw Mr Sim Eng Chee gyming. I nodded at him and he nodded back. I tend to greet teachers. It's a habit already. The point is to be courteous. But then again, most of the time the teachers don't reciprocate. Oh well...

I saw the DM at Starbucks just now too. He looks so stern. He wore NF skinnies. Haha. So hip! LOL. Andrea said he looked like he was carrying a Prada bag which had a ribbon on it. Imagine that...

Some girl shoplifted just now. Saw security checking her bag while her guy friends stood at the corner looking on. Tsk. What's happening to the youths of today?! Lol. How dumb.

Crumpler backpack costs $265. -.- WHY?! Holy crap! How long must I save for that? Forget it. I will never starve myself for anything.

I live to eat. (:

Shawty

Shawty is a girl. She may not be short, then again she might be.
When you say the word "shawty", you gotta say it like you ain't a Singaporean. Or it'll sound like "shorty". Right, py?
Shawty got them apple bottom jeans. NOT Shorty got them apple bottom jeans.
I tried to "spoof" the song. PCK version of "Low". Imagine that. I did it quite loudly also. I hope no one heard it!

I don't know what happened. But I said "Where have you been all my life?" randomly when I was with py. I'm not talking about py obviously. I don't know what hit me. But I said it. And I told her that she say that to MOMO ren. I didn't know it was a song from Westlife. So that means I've got the chops to be a songwriter too! So py asked me to write a song. But it has to include the following:
1) Where have you been all my life?
2) We were meant to be.
.
.
.
.
Shawty?!
It cannot be. Cos shawty is a girl. Means I'm not straight?! LOL. Then again, "Shawty is a killa. But I really want him."
IT'S SO WRONG!

Yes. I will write that song. But it will sound ridiculous. But before that...

Gotta do my EoM. Damn PW!

Eyes wide shut

I hate it. I can hardly keep my eyes open now. It was on for more than 12 hours!!!
Ya la. I'm lame, I am a retard. It doesn't mean that I have a lot of money to spare.

Woo! Today is the day that I will remember I scored 2 fantastic goals. Soccer rocks. And the teacher was so shocked. Peiyi told me that he asked the guys how come they let a girl score the first goal. LOL. I AM NOT A MAN.
But I have never kicked like a girl before.
Keep the ball waist down. But he freaking kicked it straight into my face. *^%*$)(# Damn pissed off. If I had the temper of a certain soccer star then I would have been sent off already.

I did my tutorials! But I didn't bring my foolscap pad to school. -.- How dumb.

Ponning CIP tomorrow. Anyway, Yi Shi not going and I'd be alone again. So I shall go search town for it.

Randomly went to town with Jennifer today. They don't have the colour I want. Wasted! Considering buying online. Didn't find anything I wanted today. Walking around in town is so damn tiring. I don't like it. Especially with my bag which is at least 4 kg, all balanced on one shoulder. Gonna break already.

HAHA. I passed my chinese! 101/160. So shocking. I thought I screwed up that paper too. Guess not. I guess my luck was pretty good. My random answers were correct. (:

PY! I never said life sucks. I said "Life kinda sucks now. At the moment." What is one moment in time? It is nothing!

FAIL is a 4 letter word

I am back to failing the same subjects I did in lower secondary. Possibly cos I am as slack as before. -.- DIE. What the hell am I doing?! Wake up!
I MUST NOT RETAIN. I MUST GET PROMOTED - NOT ADVANCED.
If I'm gonna retain, I was thinking of going overseas. Really. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be doing this. I hope to prove myself wrong. Gotta keep the faith!

Ah yes. Spain. (:
I smiled my way to dreamland that morning. I was grinning like mad(haha) so I took a really long time to fall asleep. Excited, you see.
To put it simply... Germany got owned! They only played well for 10min? How disappointing. Out of all days, why during the finals? Or was it just that Spain's much better? I believe so.
I still don't know what happened that Torres got a yellow card. I saw NOTHING.
Ballack's damn funny. Those who watched the game carefully should have seen what he did. I was laughing hysterically by then.
How I wished Raul could've played. He is the reason why I even liked the Spanish team in the first place. He is a good player. (:
I think Kuranyi looks like some Italian mafia or something. He is also really tall. Haha. What observations huh. The Germans and BIG compared to the Spanish. Size doesn't matter. Yeah, you see! Size doesn't matter. Look at me! LOL.
Bastian is NOT HOT. He just has nice hair. He didn't play particularly well either. SIGH.
Man of the match to me is... Fernando Torres. DUH. Did you not see him? It's definitely not gonna be Lahm. HAHA. Oooh but I think Lehmann did quite a good job. Although not good enough. Casillas didn't have many opportunities to prove himself, if you know what I mean. Oh man, what a match! Gonna rewatch it this Saturday at Uncle Kola's house(his Nigerian, how cool!). Then I can rub it in that my team won, and theirs didn't. Hehe. Too bad. German fans, no offence. I do like them. Just that I prefer Spain. I even like their country! It's been my wish since I was a child to visit Spain one day. It's a really nice place.

Which reminds me... Of my oral. Walau. I thought I was gonna die of an anxiety attack. It was so scary! But still, I was falling asleep waiting for my turn. Since my surname starts with a P, I had to wait quite a long while. By the time it was Jonathan's turn, I was wide awake. I said it was like "walking straight to my death". THE PASSAGE WAS SO SCREWED UP. First sentence already got words I have never seen before in my 17 years of living. Of course, after that, I found out that I read them wrongly la. HAHA. Hilarious. The female examiner kept going "mmm" after every sentence that I read. She did that to everyone. I found it pretty sarcastic. Like "mmm" means "tsk!". The conversation topic was pretty easy. It was about tourism and whether I would rather go overseas during the holidays or stay in Singapore. I said overseas, explained why, said I'd like to go to India - which made them laugh(-.-). I gotta embrace my roots man! I can shake my head like those Indians cos it's in my blood! Haha. It's so funny to see people try to do it and fail.
Yay! So glad it's over!

Today, Coach said I can hit very hard. Whoa. Then he made me show my swing to everyone. Until I was damn tired already. I hate it. Coach always makes me run. He even said "Wah. This one must give faster." Walau. You think I'm some man is it?! ARGH. Make me run from one side of the court to the other! I even have to apply my fencing lunges now or I will never be able to reach the balls in time!

I have learned that I cannot revert back to wearing metal frame specs. The woman said I look like a mugger when I do. And I agree. I like my specs. I don't care if it's nerdy or whether it's purple! Purple is my colour! Ask Peiyi. Everything purple looks good on me. I have tried not to get so involved with it but I unintentionally wind up with it anyway. IT IS FATE. I've been trying eliminate it from my life. It's overkill already.
I really wonder why I have so few red things. It is my favourite colour after all.

Collegiate sizes are DUMB! They should have XS. If not people like me how?! -.- I'm sure even if they have an XS it'll still be a little too big for me. At the moment it's much too big.
Why can't I be 5cm taller? 2 cm to my legs and 3cm to my body please. I know, my legs aren't in proportion to my body length. Thanks for pointing that out Cherene! Ah really. If only my body was a tat longer, I would be satisfied.

It's getting late. And there are 3 hours straight of lectures. I am gonna die! Goodnight my friends! Sweetest dreams~

Get me outta here!

I finally had my first experience bailing someone out of jail. LOL. Ok ok, not me. Rather, it was my mummy. But what the heck. I was there.

PSA:
Don't drink and drive.

Nice one, Dr Obvious.
I don't see how people can be so dumb. I know alcohol makes you behave like a lunatic but who actually drives to a bar and makes the decision "Oh. I shall have a drink!" -.-

In this case, the guy was supposed to go to work but decided at the last minute not to and takes a U-turn to some pub for beer. When his colleagues start calling, he drives to work(night shift) and finds himself involved in a fender-bender, gets caught by the traffic police with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit.
That man is really something huh.
And what's the first thing he does after he gets bailed out?
He takes a smoke.
What stupidity.

I was supposed to look for my new frame but instead... That happens.
I shall go frame-shopping. Not photo frame, just in case you were wondering. Specs. (:
I will try my best to not get a purple one. But if you ask me, purple is a very nice colour for frames. It's not bright, it's not dark. Tanned people shouldn't wear too dark a shade or risk looking even darker. And since my skin isn't exactly snow white, well... Purple fits me. But then again, everything is purple! During the exams, I realised the stripes on my Adidas jacket is purple, my pencil case is hot pink(almost like purple!), my bottle is purple and of course my specs(it's the bloody same colour as my bottle). No wonder people think I'm some purple freak. Ah! It's ok. Not many people can carry off the colour. HAHA.

I went to my aunty's house to play squash just now. I've never played like that before. I don't remember running around that much with the other girls. Guess my aunty is better. Until my uncle came saying, "Let's give Madelene some competition." Crap. If I thought I ran a lot before, this was like running 100m sprints over and over again. It was hell. My uncle was like "no mercy!" After more than an hour of non-stop squash-ing, I wanted to jump straight into the pool to swim and cool myself down. The water sure looked nice and cold. I couldn't of course. Busy woman. Ha. My mummy gave me $60 worth of vouchers for Minitoons stuff. So I had to go buy completely unnecessary things. I realised after paying that I must like Winnie the Pooh a lot. I used to collect the Winnie the Pooh toys from Mac. They are all chucked into my big drawer now. Open the drawer and you can imagine a cloud of dust exploding in your face. I haven't opened it in a long time now. I don't really care anymore. You can just throw them away. So many things have just lost their value over the years.
But of course there are things which remain priceless. "Touch them and you're dead" kinda precious. I think everyone has their own little things that they never wanna throw away for some reason, whatever the reason may be. It may be stupid. Sometimes I think I'm holding on to nothing. I wonder whether sweet memories will always be just that.
I really do wish I could turn back time. So many things I would've done so differently. But then again, I wouldn't be who I am today if not for those times I made the wrong choices.
And that's enough for me.

Ah! House is on. Gotta get my dose of Hugh Laurie now.
Shall comment on my Spain's marvellous victory soon!
Espanyol forever (:

Saturday, June 28, 2008

Go on... Make my day.

The thought of SSP is really wonderful. Oh yes. HAHA.
I'm sure I'll have to go. I mean, the closest to a pass I can get is for econs.
Oh well. I told myself I will have no regrets. So I won't. No use crying over spilled milk. I WILL DO BETTER. This is the way I psycho myself to achieve. It's worked before, and it will work again. My faith is strong! :D Until then, it's out with the old and in with the new. Nerdyworld, here I come! As Kenny said, I am the master geek after all. :) May the force be with you. HA! Star Wars. Love it.

Let me chronicle the exam week. I left my house at 615 everyday when traffic is, you may say, non-existent. And mummy keeps turning into KAP's Mac. Seriously, fast food will clog up my arteries and add another thick layer of blubber on my already expanding thighs! LOL. I exaggerated that but... Everyone, please stop eating too much deep-fried goodness. It kills. Watch Supersize Me and you will understand.
When I reach school, I am quite literally the first few in the hall. So I catch up on last minute memorising, which I suck at. Looking back at the O levels, I really don't understand how I managed to memorise those History essays on Pacific War and USSR stuff. Memorising gets you no where! I memorised the wrong SS topic. Wasted my precious time! But still, A1 baby! That's the sheer genius of me. LOL. Full of nonsense, able to deduce or make up my own factors. YEAH. Actually, I think I can write a lot of nonsense. Forever writing nonsense. Sometimes no link also but still I write. To the point of hua she tian zu also. LOL. I don't know if I used that properly but whatever. Give me props for trying. AH! Chinese oral on Tuesday. MUMMY! I'm gonna make a fool out of myself. CRAP.
The badminton hall is freaking cold. And because the papers are so FON, I keep drinking water. Otherwise, I'll just be staring blankly at the paper or spinning my pen. Drink water= need for the ladies'. I hate the air con. We shouldn't be using it anyway. Killing the planet. Poor planet Earth. Tsk.
First day GP and MT. I can't believe I finished my AQ. So surprising. But my summary is screwed up. I think I used too much of my own words until it looks nothing like what the passage was talking about already. HA! And Chinese. That's the most horrible 3 hours of my life. Let's see, I spend hell of a lot of time reading just one passage and yet I understand less than 50% of what is said? Then the compo was what is considered a "xing fu mei man and sheng huo". Money, friends, family, health, good job? That was the easiest question. I finished in 45 minutes cos my train of thoughts was disrupted by the freezing environment and the immense urge to relieve myself. LOL.
Day 2: What a killer day. Math and chemistry. Enough said.
Day3: Econs. Haha. I hardly studied for it. How do you study for econs?! Enlighten me. Thankfully I have been reading the newspaper everyday so I know what are the factors that affect the prices of food and oil. There's the supply factor. Like the competitive supply blah blah blah. Natural disasters in rice producing countries. Biofuel etc. HAHA. All those hours reading the newspaper finally reaps its benefits!
Day 4: NO PAPER. I set my alarm for 10am. It went off but of course I switched it off and slept another 30min. I spent awhile the night before studying for physics. PHYSICS! Really, I should have taken lit. I'm sure I would do much better at lit. I don't mean to boast, but I really do have somewhat of the flair for it. HAHA. What a joke... At about 9pm, I just started reading the final chapter which is Work, energy, power. Then I realised... It's really nothing like O levels syllabus. HA! Room 5.12 said we studied before. No offence, but I don't think so ma'am.
Day 5: I was walking to my death. I didn't give up. More like, I know I can't pass physics for nuts. At least not this time. And considering the teacher. SIGH! It's disappointing. Yet, I didn't give up. At least I studied and learned more than what the teacher taught me. I studied all the way to "hell's" gate. LOL. I finally remembered what Newton's law states. But it didn't come out. This paper I finished in 40min cos there are blanks everywhere! NEVER MIND! Let's not talk about it anymore.

After the paper, I waited alone at the station for Nat for half an hour or something? Listening to my new songs. I really like "Us Against the World". It's damn nice. Haha. Can't I like boyband songs? They have all the cheesy love songs. But still... Two thumbs up. Oh then Arthas (I dunno how to spell his name) joined me for a minute. I think he's quite nice lor (what do you have to say about that, Kenny?). But I prefer to call him Ho Shiun. Anyway, I think he's quite blind. I look better in primary school? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! And sorry... But I forgot that you were in 5/9 also. I thought you were in 5/10. Haha. He seemed quite shocked that I forgot. I just remember that he was like the fastest sprinter in school or something like that. Smart and athletic. Wah. Singing his praises. I better stop it.
We went to Marina Square to look for Alicia's present. We lied to her, saying that we're going home to change. She called me while I was there and I said I was at home! HAHA. This is called, karma. What goes around comes around. Anyway, Nat. You are a lousy liar. But thankfully, Alicia didn't spot all the loopholes. And I loved the double berry ice cream. AH! I need to exercise. We ate at Shokudo or something like that. Ha. Then we watched Driving Lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting beside Marcus! HAHA. Do I sound like some perv? I don't care. He just smells so good. Man, you smell good. All guys should smell like that. The world would be a better place cos all B.O will be gone. Ok, I am a bit crazy. Or rather, mad, now. Only now. LOL.
The movie is filled with the F bomb. But it's freaking genius. A smart show. I couldn't understand some parts though. Too smart for Singapore audience I think. And there was an exciting part as Kenny pointed out afterwards. Ha! Marcus went to sing at some open mic thing at the Esplanade? I hope it went well! I think his voice can melt the hearts of all girls. Heh...

Then it was farewell. Rushed home cos I needed the toilet again-.- There's really something wrong with me. I know it.

I was damn happy when I heard Spain won Russia. It was in the car just at the traffic light beside school. I hit the dashboard in excitement. HAHA. Insanely happy for them. MUACKS! Spain! I really can't be bothered who wins. I'm torn! Maybe I should just go flip a coin. Spain and Germany have been my favourites since I started watching soccer. I always liked Spain. But they always don't win. Germany always in top 4 at least or what. Spain's the favourite to win. Yeah. I shall support them. Although I'll be asleep. Or maybe I'll be thinking of them then can't sleep. Or like the other day. I woke up at 2 plus. Just when one of their matches was supposed to start. Haiya. David Villa not playing. -.- OH WELL. Go SPAIN! I LOVE SPAIN. *Cheers*

Today something dumb happened. Woke up bright and early for LIFE. Travelled about an hour to Queenstown. CLOSED! What the... So I went back all the way to Woodlands. It was still early so I went to the library alone to read books. Ah. Noisy people. Cannot shut up is it? Really feel like using masking tape to shut their traps. Such a nice book but I couldn't concentrate any longer so I left in an hour. My brother has been bugging me forever to buy KFC for him. So being a very nice, caring, loving sister, I bought it for him. XD
I can't stand it when they look at me. I really do not know them. To think they were just classmates or just a class away in primary school and they are involved in such activities now. Seriously. What's happening with the youths of today?!

Smoking kills.
Don't.
But then again, it's not any of my business. If you wanna kill yourself then whatever.

Here's something I found really motivating and inspirational when Adidas first came up with it. It was brought up again during devotions.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare.
Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing."


Don't give up on what you believe in.
I'm not...

Saturday, June 21, 2008

I told ya so =P

WOO!!! Germany! Sorry Justin, but I just gotta rub it in. =P
Next, Spain :)
Come to think of it, a long while back when I was obsessing about Torres, nobody knew who he was. I have the gift of foresight, really. LOL. He rocks~!

I am trying to put the chinese chapters' mp3 file into my mp3 so that I can listen to them at night as I attempt to sleep. This way, it saves me the reading. I have yet to touch chinese and physics. Ah physics. Once again, I WILL FAIL MATH. Once again, my mummy has said it's ok. She knows I'm trying! I've spent 5 hours today on math. I've realised that my differentiation of trigo is "a bit" rusty. Oh well... Never giving up!

In less than a week, it'll all be over.
The countdown begins~

Thursday, June 19, 2008

YES!

I'm seriously very satisfied with what I've done the past few days. 6 hours a day studying sure ain't shabby. (:
Everyday, I read the newspaper first and eat my oats. I read too much really. Even the sports section, thanks to Euro 2008. I LOVE MY SPAIN!!! I'd really like them to completely and utterly annihilate Italy. LOL. Can't stand them as a team but I like some players. Hmmm. I'd like to see the Netherlands win. But before that, how I wish Germany would beat Portugal. Ah...

Ok. Enough soccer. I'm just reminding myself how I have no sports channels. -.-

Back to studying math. Although I know it is near impossible to pass(for me), I'm still giving it my all. AH! Math and physics. T.T Why can't they be as interesting as chemistry?!


Persevering...

Tuesday, June 17, 2008

Study more, sleep less.

This is the end of my sleep-fest. No more 10hour a night slumbers. Anyway, a study said people who sleep between 6-7.5hours a night live the longest. And since I have no plans to die any time soon, I shall sleep less (:

Johnny found a scorpion in his house. WTH.

I finally worked out yesterday. I took a 6km hike yesterday. LOL. Did lunges cos I miss fencing. Earlier yesterday, I went back to BP with Jiajuan, Derek, Meijin, Yiyao and James Kong. James' legs still as sexy as ever HAHA. James Wong's leg still hairy-er than ever =X
We were wondering why some of the juniors' thighs are so flabby. Everytime they step back it's like *wobble*. Some of their hamstring so puny, like wth. Please tell me why mine is so big for a small lady like me.
We are not allowed to wear slippers into BP. Yiyao complained that AJC also doesn't allow. He said "I'm wearing slippers means I'm going to bomb the school ar?". So true (:
And isn't alumni the same as ex-students? Please enlighten me.
Yiyao wanted to go to New York New York to eat and ended up treating all 6 of us voluntarily. Goodness. Where did you get all that cash from? I've been using my angbao money to survive this holiday. How the hell am I supposed to buy my asics now?!?!?!

Today went to Mee Mee. LOL. My degree only went up by 25 for my left eye, right remains constant, though my astig got worse for both eyes. Ate at Wishbone. The place is freaking old already. It is so reminiscent of the 80s. Ha. Like I know how the 80s were.

Reading my previous post, I really feel like laughing at myself. I really don't know why I upset myself over no reason all the time. It's really a waste of my time. I can be happy any day or any moment that I fancy. The fact is life has been great. It's just that we never appreciate it. We only notice things when they turn sour. It's safe to say, I've never been better. It's better to be contented. I've chosen. I'm going to be ok no matter what cos I have things that will always be with me, the things that really matter. (:

Yeah! Time to study man. Keeping the visits online to the minimum. Jiayou everyone! Do your best. (: And if you need it, here's a prayer. This very prayer helped me through the O levels. From my mini prayerbook that I carry around with me. I hope you find it useful too.

Prayer of a student

Lord Jesus, you are the Way, the Truth and the Life. May I find your truth in the books and sciences that I study every day. Many times I hear confusing voices in my studies. Send your Spirit to guide me and to make clear your ideas, your doctrines and your truth, that I may firmly believe in them. Lord Jesus, you are the way that I must follow. Help me be honest and sincere in my search for the right path and when I find it, enable me to walk along it courageously. Lord Jesus, let me grow in your divine life. Help me share my God-given talents with others so that they may live in your joy and peace. Jesus my friend, you know there is so much fierce competition in schools, colleges and universities. Help me cope with the pressure and tension, but above all, Lord, make me remember that my studies are not for money, power or position. My education must lead me to contribute to a better society where people have opportunities for work, for family life, for peace and justice. Only in this aim of living for others will my education be worthwhile. I ask this Lord, in your name. Amen.


Goodnight (:

When I'm ready to take all that you want me to give, it will be worth the wait.

Time flies by...

One and a half weeks to go and it's the term exams. I'm freaking stressed.
But what the hell am I doing?

NOTHING.

You know those moments when you feel like ripping your hair out due to frustration? Well, I'm having many of those.
And it doesn't help when I can't go to sleep every night. In the dark, all alone, I just think of all the crap in my life. How things are not going the right way or rather, my way. I guess recently I've just been listening to a lot of music. Can't sleep? Just listen to music until you start to doze off. I've kinda stopped listening to most rock songs cos they really have no meaning to them. Seems like I'm searching for meaning now. Meanings of different things, reasons why. Finding a song you can relate to is really...great. That's exactly what I've been doing. And I've been writing a lot too. How poetic...
I'm extremely distracted nowadays. Even when I'm in front of the TV, my mind is somewhere else. I don't even know why I like to think of such horrible, depressing things. Am I bracing myself for something?



I had a good dream last night, it seemed so real. Well. Like they say, all good things come to an end. I just got a horrible jolt back to reality. Reality being not all your dreams can come true. Two possible reasons are: Firstly, it's fate. Or secondly, you're simply not trying hard enough to make your dreams come true. I prefer to believe in the latter.
But of course, there are some dreams you just let go of. Maybe for the time being or maybe for good.


Yesterday was the Science Center outing for the kids from LIFE. It was really difficult chasing the boy around. I've never seen anyone of his age run so quick in my life. I learned something. Kids will do anything for candy. Luckily I bought some because I had anticipated it.
I had fun though. At least it got my mind off stuff for that brief 3 hours or so.

Been walking a lot recently. Walked about 4km yesterday with my brother. He can't run since he's injured. My mum's not letting me go on runs on my own since that thingy happened. GREAT. I'm definitely not going to run in the morning or the afternoon. I hate the weather. Well at least I get more time to spend with my brother.
There's a PW meeting tomorrow morning and I'm still quite uncertain what I'm supposed to be doing.

So much to do, so little time. And there's no one else to blame but myself.

I'm looking back and wondering why, it took so long to realise.
That nothing's changed, and never will, all these years of standing still.
And still we stay in all this pain, and nothing's gonna make it go away.

I really hope not...

Prince Caspian

Wednesday-Friday
My cousin, Izabel, stayed over at my place. Now I finally know how it is to share your bed with someone? Sounds wrong. Never mind. Anyways, it was fun having her around for those 2 short days. We re-watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was the perfect opportunity to get my mummy to bring us to watch Prince Caspian (:
Before that as usual -typical mummy- brought us to eat at Crystal Jade again. -.- I'm getting so sick of it. Once again, over-ordered. Once again, I'm to be the slob who eats everything. I found it ridiculously ironic how I said "I'm so full." and continued eating the leftover guilinggao, scraping the bottom of the tiny bowl for anything I might've missed. T.T I can't resist good food.
We went to Courts to get an external harddrive for my brother and I jokingly asked my mummy for a camera and she said...YES. Hohoho! So I got a Sony Cyber Shot 10.1 mega pixel camera. (: This is my first camera. FIRST.
Ah. Ben Barnes a.k.a Prince Caspian. So dreamy. LOL. I don't think any girl would complain watching the movie when there are 3 very...gorgeous characters (: But of course I'm also a fan of the books. The most enjoyable books to read. Captivating. Something really magical about them. I know Prince Caspian is the most "boring" one of the whole series but it's still good. Better than Indiana Jones. I think the best movie I've watched this year is Juno.

On a completely different and random note...I think some ACSi guys are really nice. Ok. 2 of them. They actually asked me via sms how am I cos it's been some time since we've talked. And I think it's really sweet and very thoughtful. Maybe chivalry isn't dead after all.

Last night was the 4p2 BBQ at Hong Wei's house. What a coincidence it was that my aunt's friend's daughter was having a birthday party at the function room merely 30m or less away. May I add a HSM themed party. Kids.
I had fun just sitting around talking to my friends. Haven't seen them in ages. Some of them asked me the same annoying question. Let's just say they are surprised about the answer. I sent Lendl around to take candid shots of people. And Lendl is not a good photographer. HAHA. He is a good friend (: The chicken wings were so damn nice and spicy. The moment they came off the grill I was the first to grab them. And yx commented that I have a big appetite. Yes, I do. (:
AH it was just a nice night. I finally get to distract myself from all the shit.
I'll send you guys the pics soon. (:
Thanks for making my day.



My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic.
Pace of the world, I just wish I could stop it.

It's just emotions taking me over...

Somehow I feel like something bad is gonna happen. Something inevitable. I'll try to stop it.

But I know I just can't...

I'm upset ):



Maybe tomorrow everything will be alright. I don't wanna feel this way. Not now, not ever. AH! It's ok. Life's more than that...



- I watch the walls around me crumble. But it's not like I won't build them up again.

They know Rock n Roll!

The Click Five could not have picked a better time to hold their sell-out concert last night (June 1) at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. School holidays meant that teenyboppers contributed 80% of the crowd, bristling with excited (girlish) chatter. The free-standing area looked like a huge sea of well, kids. I pretty much expected that, but still, it did nothing to improve my impression of The Click Five as a teenybopper pop band.

Until Kyle Patrick opened the show with his deep, powerful vocals, that is. (THE WRITER IS A BIT SLOW!) With steady, strong tones, the show kicked off with "Flipside," one of many catchy ditties in The Click Five's repertoire. Although, what showed off Kyle's impressive vocals were the slower tempo songs. With a slight vibrato to his rich vocals that would make any choir teacher proud, "Empty" sounded like a pitch-perfect studio rendition, except live.

Most pleasantly unexpected was the band's capacity for handling different genres of music. With the change in lead singer (from Eric Dill to Kyle Patrick), the musical direction twisted a little as well. Kyle's vocals possesses an edgier, rock-ish quality which gives the music a different touch, carrying it above the previous pop-punk sounds of The Click Five. As such, there was a delightful fare of genre-blending tracks which included "Addicted to Me," a synth-techno sensation, or "Headlight Disco," a '70s blues-rock dream.

Exuding playful, irrepressible energy, Kyle pretty much had all the screaming girls eating out of his hand (it helps that he's such a gorgeous pretty boy as well). Hysteria was pretty much the order of the day, as two girls were even carried out on stretchers. Quite a rare sight for tame Singapore.



I told ya they ROCK!
I need a healthy dosage of TC5. Especially Kyle (:
FYI: He's much better than Eric.

Till we meet again...

You're making me smile.
I could get used to this. (:

I love TC5!!!

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting more depressed by the minute. I thought I'd be ok with it, but I'm not ok with it, NOT ANYMORE!!!
And Selena got to meet them. Really MEET them. Hug them, take pictures with them, get their autograph, chat them up!!!
Do you sense the jealousy?! Or do you need me to spell it out for you? JEALOUS!
Py!!! Help me get pictures! (: Pretty please?
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
I don't care. The next time, I will be there. KYLE, wait for me! LOL.
Oh man...

I need to distract myself from the thought of TC5. Let's see...
Ah yesterday, py, zach, dion and I went to watch Indiana Jones. I vaguely remember the prequels being much better. But whatever, it was free! So I feel no pinch. Heh... Tried to escape and remain out of Tiger's view...to no avail. Haha. After the show we plucked up the courage to take a picture with Principal Lee. Wah I think he is really charismatic and really, really...much taller than me! LOL. We took the "RESERVED" tags from the seats and took "mug shots" with them at a secluded area so we wouldn't embarrass ourselves. Dion tried to imitate the Kung Fu Panda stance. Another futile attempt. Haha.
We walked around town. Wheelock, Wisma, Ngee Ann City etc. Actually I was really tired but I didn't wanna say anything =X Cos Zach seemed to be enjoying "shopping" around. And I was hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that my mummy wouldn't call me. Haha.
While waiting for the train, we saw this guy with a shirt that reads "iPot" across his chest. Look slightly lower and you will see the reason. His tummy is really like a pot. POT belly! And he got off at the same stop as py. LOL.

I slept quite early last night cos I was really shag and also because Mao, py and I had a beach date today. Wow. I have to say my sinus really knows how to pick days to come on. I was sneezing every few seconds and couldn't go back to sleep. And you know how sneezing drains your energy. AHHH!!! I walked all the way to the MRT station in the cool, morning sun and then...OH TURD! I forgot my wallet -.- I can't live without my wallet! No wallet means no money, which means no food which means end of the world. I must have my food! So I walked all the way back home to get it under the no longer cool, morning sun. My brother was supposed to meet me halfway but he sent my grandma instead (tsk!) and she only made it to under my block. So I really went all the way back just to retrieve it. Great.

It started raining while on the train. And I was wondering whether Sentosa would be too. I prayed for good weather last night and yes! Good weather was what we got. Maybe too good? It was really blazing. But I have my moisturizing and water resistant SPF30 Nivea sunblock so I wouldn't get a sunburn instead of a suntan. Smart, I am. Wore my Mini Cooper shades. Haha! I think I look damn good in it. I know my face is small but big shades flatter my face shape ok (:
As Mao and I went to get a cold drink when it got a bit too hot to handle(double meaning haha), the clouds slowly started inching its way towards our spot and by the time we got back it started to drizzle. We made our way via tram to the shower. Mao was very entertaining. She reacts vigorously with cold water? Haha. Seems like I'm the only one who bathes in cold water all the time. Cos I see no point of warm/hot water. You shower and you sweat after you get out of the shower? Or maybe it's just me and my active sweat glands again?
We realised something. I'm much tanner than Mao and py. Haha. When we compare our legs the difference is so distinct. It's like a reverse oreo! OMG my leg is so black! Ok not black, tanned.

All 3 of us dropped at Woodlands and wow! What a coincidence. We bumped into Carlyn, Rui Yan and Huilin and later on Dion and his girl. Looked around for a nice backpack. I still think the Nike is nice. Second's the Eastpak. Oh yes. And I need another bottle. ANY CLUE WHY?
ANGRY!



I feel awfully hungry now. I ate at Subway(yummy!) today, ate some cookies, one chocolate sundae from Mac. Is that all?! Crap. No wonder...

I need new songs with good lyrics. Any recommendations?

~ Baby,if you knew I cared...
