EXTREMELY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE TAGBOARD AND THAT I HAVE REDUCED THE SIZE. YAY.


Y 11:25 PM

today was depressing. its was one of the worst days of the year so far.
first, bio test was hell for me. bio has always been the easiest out of the three sciences for me so i dont know what i'm gonna do now that i know i flunked it. ok yes i havent gotten the results back but i can feel it in my bones that i'm so gonna fail. i spent so much time drawing the freakin graph and in the end it still looked damn screwed.
then, i forgot to bring my tie for assembly but that wasnt so bad cos i could borrow it from nadia.
the last straw was when the scholarship test results came back. i really really wanted it and i really need it. needless to say i got rejected. i know its no use moaning about it and that like only very few people got it but i really really want it. i feel so guilty every time the reminder to pay fees comes and my dad gets so stressed and i feel like i'm such a burden. i started tearing in class then it became outright sobbing when people started hugging me and comforting me and all. thanks all of you who made me feel so much better and who stayed back to dry my tears. i cant tell you guys how much i appreciate it. and to huiyi kristie and eenette who as usual, gave me encouragement and showed me love.
but i couldnt help feeling like a loser. didnt wanna go home cos i didnt know how to face my mum. she was really hoping i could get it. but the reaction was unexpected. she could tell immediately that something was wrong and asked whether i failed bio or something (which i did) and i told her it was hard, then i passed her the rejection letter and she just looked really sad. it would have hurt a lot less if she scolded me or something. i snapped at my sister cos she was being all nosy. maybe she was just concerned but she just always says the wrong things at the wrong time and it just makes me feel worse. i felt mean snapping at her but then i thought about how she sailed through her gep test and how i got rejected this stupid scholarship and i became real pissed again. i just went to lock myself in the toilet to cry. it feels good crying while you're bathing, probably cos you dont hear yourself and you dont feel your tears.

okay. have rewatched the news.
this is what happened + other facts
The terrorist is the head of JI in Singapore. Indonesian elite anti-terror police found out that he was using a fake IC. He got caught and deported to Singapore, where he was held, but he escaped at whitley road on Wednesday (today) and there was a massive operation going on to track him down. He is (thankfully) not known to be armed. HOWEVER he was one of the top most wanted men in Singapore and is now probably THE most wanted man. The scary thing is that he escaped in a rather crowded place and he HAS YET TO BE FOUND. ohmy.


Y 9:34 PM

ZOHOZOHOZOHOMG
AM CURRENTLY EXTREMELY FREAKED OUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I JUST REALISED THAT WE ALMOST DIED.

Today Huiyi gave me a lift to the bus stop near her house after NCC and on the highway, we saw all these gurkha army guys in the vegetation area by the highway, with tombstones. They were like looking around and signalling to each other, so we were rather curious. THEN we saw these special ops police cars and trucks driving out from the police academy place and we were like "WOW SPECIAL OPS EH, MAYBE SOME TERRORIST CAME OR SOMETHING HAHAHAHA!" AND THEN, we were joking around and coming up with like dying words to be smsed to all near and dear to us in case we died. Then we saw the cars turn into a different direction so we just kinda shrugged it off. THEN. just now i was talking to marge and she told me veron told her that she saw on CNN that there was this terrorist guy who escaped from
somewhere near SJI and everyone got evacuated!
FREAKY MAN. and RGS is like SUPER NEARBY LA. as a matter of fact, all the prominent schools are around there! like rg sji nanyang hci scgs and more. CAN YOU IMAGINE. we all almost got bombed to death. especially people like me who stayed back for cca. I immediately called huiyi and told her and we were freaking out over the phone. AND THEN now we are all so NOT in the mood to go to school tomorrow.
The ch 5 news just showed the guy's photo! UGHHHHH.ohmygoodness i am freaked out.

Am listening to music. FINALLY after my comp crashed on me and everything is in the old cpu. CREDITS GO TO
marge who sent me lotsa nice songs
huiyi who reminded me that we have a lot of songs in our shared folders

while talking to marge i realised that i have a strange tendency. the first time i listen to a song i won't really like it a lot, but the more i listen the more i will love it. am currently saturated with Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold. I can't believe i took SO LONG to get obsessed when, according to marge, everyone else got hooked immediately. I listened while reading the lyrics just now and i almost CRIED. its really sad, not exactly the lyrics, but the combination of the lyrics and the melody and the nuances.

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to holdwhen hope begins to fade...
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around,when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

FRIQUE IS LOVE <3>

Yesterday, we celebrated Zann's and Jess' birthdays. FINALLY. after failing to do so the day before and after many many conflicting time schedules. It wasn't surprising anymore (esp since eenettewong told jess we were going to celebrate her birthday + jess saw huiyi and kristie carrying the cake) but i hope they were touched at least a bit (: okay they WERE touched i KNOW IT. they better be. Since huiyi and kristie cleverly cut the cake up, huiyi decided to just buy two small cakes for both of them. First, eenette and me went to search for them, and we found jess, hence we blindfolded her and made her sit down. THEN. CRISIS. cos i found out from khaingzin that zann wasnt coming down for recess. WELL, nat and i ran up, barged into her classroom and dragged her downstairs. hahaha. at the entrance of the canteen we blindfolded her and led her to the table. she was so SCARED haha sorry zann! then we allowed them to take off their blindfolds and we SANG BIRTHDAY SONG. hahaha FINALLY MAN. Jess was ACTING surprised and zann just looked red and happy hahahah. ohwell it was great reunion time :) we had a group hug then some of us (including me) were tearing. cos eenette was like "ohmygod i MISS ALL OF YOUUU!!!! MISS YOU MISS YOU MISS YOU!!!!" and we were all "YAHHHH!!!!". ohwell. i really do miss them.
Today, we met up after SLI for our frique outing. FABFABFAB cos we had pretty high attendance rate! hahahaha first kristie huiyi zann cheekopek nat ong and me went to food republic to eat brunch. We had a long good talk and lots and lots of laughter. For one moment there, it seemed that nothing had changed and we were all still in Sec Two. It was really good enough that we were together talking and laughing and eating cos thats how we bonded really, over meals and teasing and talking about practically everything under the sun. We were all pretty down at this particular point of time for no particular reason. And more so after we talked about some stuff. But frique being frique, we dont let things stay depressing for long. especially with people like nat around to ask questions that are out of point. Then zann left us at Lido for sharkwater and finally, eenette called and met us at far east. We talked about more stuff and cheekolook had to leave already. We were even sadder after talking more :( Then we went to LJS cos eenette wanted to eat fries. And cheekopek sent us a message which really cheered all of us up. THANKYOU dangerous cheekopek (: Then they all had to leave for training, dental etc, and eventually only eenette and i were left. somehow this always happens - we're always the ones left. We walked around wisma, then taka and we went to mos burger to eat strawberries and talk. EENETTE WONG I MISS YOU!
Some pics taken today.i contemplated posting some super unglam pics of cheekopek but I'M NICE :)




It was really great today, cos it really felt just the way it used to be. Well, for a large part of it anyway. As i have said and i will say again, i love 310 but Frique remains. For as long as possible, since i'm afraid forever's a little too ambitious. cos things never stay the same. rather, humans have a transitory nature.

yes, today's topic shall be about cavemen. and women.

HAHAHA. was inspired by my crazy 6J classmates. Alfred who wants to grow a caveman beard and Nathan who wants to grow a cave(wo)man hairstyle. And the rest of us who just want to watch what happens when two seemingly normal teenage boys start not cutting their hair. (head and facial and probably body too if they are modelling themselves after the above picture.)

just one word of advice guys, the primitive homosapien you are modelling yourself after does not really appeal to the fairer half of the human race. in other words you might find it really hard to get hitched. hahaha.

oh well i am really bored. hence i shall find facts about cavemen. and their hair.

i shall also quote sources as i do not wanna be accused of plagiarism. haha.

BBC website: Our own species, Homo sapiens, evolved in Africa around 150,000 years ago. Homo sapiens have a characteristic look: their faces are small and tucked under a high, domed braincase. They have small eyebrow ridges and their lower jaw ends in a prominent chin. On average, their bodies are less muscular than those of earlier hominids.

wiki: A caveman is a popular stock character based upon stereotyped concepts of the way in which early prehistoric humans or homininans may have looked and behaved. The term is sometimes used colloquially to refer to the Neanderthals or Cro-Magnon (i.e., Homo sapiens of the Paleolithic era). The term has been discouraged in serious use, due to its inaccuracy and dependence on certain misconceptions about early humans.

Caveman is traditionally portrayed as being hairy, clothed in animal skins, armed with bone or wood clubs, intelligent, and aggressive. Furthermore, cavemen are often shown as living in caves; but this stemmed from the ritual paintings found in caves: it is more probable that the caves were religious gathering places or temporary shelter, and not the actual dwellings of the supposed 'cavemen'. Thus, expressions such as "Balrog" or "living in a hole" have become cultural metaphors for a modern human who supposedly displays traits of brutishness or extreme ignorance.

and i am extremely lazy hence i will stop researching. haha.



Y 1:47 AM

today was rather uneventful.

went for chem class, then family gathering at uncle Robin's house. I felt rather stifled and bored there cos none of the cousins around my age were there and I was just really bored. The adults were gambling and some were playing mahjong but i really wasnt in the mood to join in. arh.

and then i smsed marge.

i was bored am bored feel bored will be feeling bored

Monday, February 11, 2008 Y 9:53 PM

i have been busy. cca on the first three days of the week. sigh. however, i will disallow my blog to die. hence i will blog about cny even though its long over.
Chinese new year has been... strangely un-cnyish. like something's missing from the whole festive atmosphere. anyway. brief summary plus pictures

chuxi
Performance was in the hall, somehow i preferred last year's. Then we had class party and 310 being, as usual, fab, mad the entire class party fabfabfab. we were the only sec3 class to lao yu sheng! and Mrs Shirley Tan came to our class to join us. Oh, the honour.

pictures!


MNM<3 two ponytailed three tenners!


its a HEART <3 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdX1mPNezII9f6pvNTKlSa8cINcj9hwngD8jawVjcnjK6aY0sdCsd2IBdLH7lxbOgXGzGermtFCZaQq59GSagCyuyvjh7vE29ubr5fNW-1jnNDLgZcSc2BKxcecKCdQdGtmRh_ujIo-s/s1600-h/IMG_2091.JPG"> THREE TEN OH EIGHT = <3>AND THEN it was time for 6J gathering. we met at mbs only to be chased out cos they were doing some pest control thingum. went to Bugis for lunch and movie. watched Kungfu Dunk. nice movie especially the basketball matches (:

PICTURES>


Pingting & me
i have no idea when this shot was taken


wenyun me pingting acting dao and failing :D

all of us girls!

i think. 6J has matured a lot. i know its still awkward between the girls and boys sometimes but we're much more comfortable around each other as compared to the past. i still remember the time when a simple hi between two people of different genders meant a lot more than hi. haha. i think we wasted a lot of much time in primary school. the memories are still priceless though.


AND NOW FOR CNY


in summary, cny was visiting, catching up with relatives and cousins, pigging out on cny goodies (and gaining pounds), monopoly games, gambling, mahjong, angpaos, oranges, nice new clothes and really good food. yes i know i am lazy.

photos> sis, grandma and me on chuxi




me and sis



yes you can see my moneyfaced cousin who is monopoly-crazy


the oh-so-cute one who is also oh-so-incredibly-naughty. as you can tell from the following picture



the OTHER incredibly naughty one. looks are deceiving i know he looks quite innocent here

cute 2 year old cousin who's sweet and un-naughty. at the moment.


cute two year old cousin number two (names shall not be revealed to protect their privacy as they are underaged) who is also currently still un-naughty




awwwwwww :)



and with that i shall end my extremely backdated post about cny.

I am currently trying to complete my History essay on Scientific Revolution. Unsuccessfully. Well, OSTENSIBLY (new word learnt from english compre) seeing as i am blogging right now. I need to concentrate but i just can't filter the information. ARGH. DIE NEWTON DIE TECHNOLOGY DIE RENAISSANCE DIE LEONARDO DA VINCI DIE MATHEMATICS (this one applies in every second of my daily life) DIE TELESCOPES DIE VACUUM PUMPS DIE THERMOMETERS DIE GALILEO DIE COPERNICUS DIEDIEDIE!
As you can see I'm rather mentally unsound right now and I am likely to embark on a killing spree. One possible contributing factor could be the fact that preparations for Tribune welcome dinner have gone unbelievably screwed. Adding onto this might be the consideration that I am the great planner of aforementioned dinner, and that I have sent the wrong document out to the club, and that I have been hopelessly trying to remedy the situation. My welfare duties with relation to the activities I organise have been hopelessly jinxed as something always crops up at the last minute. In conclusion, i am one unlucky and disorganised welfare head.
It is structured isn't it. haha practising in preparation for my essay see.
I hope and pray and cross my fingers that nothing else will go wrong tomorrow and that we will have one successful welcome dinner for the sec ones.


Sunday, February 3, 2008 Y 2:30 AM

I do realise that its 2.30 am.
I also realise that i should be sleeping.
In addition, i realise that i cannot sleep.

Went to Chinatown today. bought some cnyish stuff, ate some sarawak kolo mee thing that tasted nice, good family bonding time and all. but somehow i didnt leave chinatown with the satisfying i'm-looking-forward-to-new-year mood. I really was looking forward to cny but now. I don't know. Maybe i've been thinking about a lot of stuff.

I'm gonna sleep everything away.


Saturday, February 2, 2008 Y 12:16 AM
