GOSH i'm so pissed. i probably dropped it somewhere or something. AAAAAAAARGH. sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks. why can't i be more careful. or observant. i'm so freaking sick of losing stuff. i'm starting to doubt if i even got the card back cos i really dont remember getting it back and putting it back in my wallet. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. die. die. die.

A LIST OF TEN DANGEROUS THINGS
please note that this list it FAR from comprehensive, because in our dangerous world, there exists many dangerous elements that threaten the general well-being of mankind. trust me, it sucks thinking about how much danger we are actually in.

1) sleep deprivation
in my mum's (unsuccessful) attempt at getting me to sleep early, she cut out this newspaper article about how 'Lack of sleep may be deadly'. People who sleep less than 5 hours are twice as likely to die of heart disease. Lack of sleep also appears to be linked to increased blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke. ohwell. i also presume it leads to lack of energy the following day, thus leading to inability to stay awake during classes.

2) handphone cameras
handphone cameras are VERY DANGEROUS. especially in public transport. and ESPECIALLY if you're sitting next to a potentially perverted guy. ugh. bad experience.

3) huiyi's 'treacherous journeys' back home
just ask her for details on the many incidents that happened while she was walking home by her 'treacherous route'.

4) vampires. and vampire babies
refer to the twilight series in general, and breaking dawn in particular (for the vampire babies).
It's unsafe to be around vampires if you're human unless the vamps are Cullens or other 'vegetarian' vampires (duh).Vampire babies are DANGEROUS. ugh just see the way Stephenie Meyer describes Bella giving birth. the whole process actually. ugh ugh. okay no more spoilers.

5) pregnancy, in general
Miss Tay was telling us during tuition today about pregnancy. IN PARTICULAR,

6) breastfeeding
shall not elaborate on details here. far too disturbing. and plus, this blog should be for general viewing. just note that it has the potential to be gory, especially if the baby has TEETH. ew ew ew ew.
eeiyn on breastfeeding : is it like peeing through your boobs?
hahahahahaha gosh that girl ah.

7) STIs
You just have to go through the trauma of hall assembly STI talks to understand this. HPB uses the scare tactic to get people to not have pre-marital sex. but it probably will work. the talk was SO disturbing. and they even showed us pictures. gosh.

8) addictions
okay this is a very DUH thing but yeah. i'm not talking only about cigarettes and drugs and alcohol. even addictions to dramas and books and certain kinds of food. (that's mainly the kinds of addiction i suffer from). the former two have sneaky ways of making you waste away precious time better spent on doing work (only you don't think you're wasting time at that point of time). then you REGRET wasting time later and kill yourself. plus, books and dramas make you addicted to the PEOPLE in them. very very dangerous indeed. you start living in an imaginary world with imaginary people (and you don't mind it!). In fact, you're pissed that some characters aren't real (where the hell is my Edward Cullen?) The latter makes you waste money and makes you suffer physically (think food cravings). I guess it'd be fine if you're addicted to things like celery or broccoli but most normal people (like me) are addicted to not-so-healthy things like chocolate. Don't even mention calories and fats.

9) procrastination
'procrastination is the thief of time'
'nuff said. i'm a true blue last-minute buddha foot hugger.

10) Math and Chem
they drive me MAD. i really don't get how we're gonna apply like, remainder & factor theorem in our lives in future. gosh.


Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Y 11:28 PM

I have one simple announcement to make.
I. DID. NOT. FAIL. MATH.
now if you'll please allow me to go mad for a while...
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
at least I know i did something right this time. even though i'm still throwing away marks with copying question wrongly and other stupid shits.

I'm happy.

The only thing destroying my exuberance at the moment is CHEM TOMORROW. DIE CHEM DIE. why do I suck at mole concept. WHY.

well, generally happy.
and stupid mistakes make you stronger. thanks eenette wong ♥

tag replies
lololol & herman: MAYBE I WILL. when i'm unlazy and free and feeling a bit eviller
amanda: now, darling, you REALLY shouldn't get on the bad side of Miranda The Marvellous and talk nonsense. and i dont need spies la. i'm all-knowing and omniscient.
chewlin: I PASSED MATH PHEW (: talk to me sometime I'll tell you more about the stupid note


Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Y 9:51 PM

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED PRISCILLA YONG'S LONG OVERDUE LETTER(S)
INSTANT MOOD UPLIFTING. very timely, pris. i don't know if you mean to cheer me up and make me laugh but you sure did. thank you so much <3


Y 8:30 PM

i really shouldn't have done that.
it was stupid, it was childish, and i'll probably get kicked out of exco or something.
then again, running here and there and all about requesting for a key and being denied it is very unpleasant. its frustrating.
okay enough stop giving myself excuses.
stupid stupid me.


Y 12:13 AM

okay i'm pretty irritated. i wanted to post at 12.12 cos the time's nice haha. yes i know i'm being crazy but its fun okay. then i had to type my email wrongly and re-log in. nevermind la 12.13 not bad la.

gosh amanda chan is a dangerous person. unglam pictures are very unsafe with her. AMANDAAAAAAA if you're reading this you should know how dead you are. I won't bother posting your unglam pic la. anyway it isn't like a lot of people are going to see it AS COMPARED to the thousands who have seen MINE. but yours more unglam okay. haha.

okay there was something i really wanted to blog about. but i forgot. damn i need to get rid of this habit.

argh. anyway i had a headache today after coming back from school. on the way, went to taka with huiyi & jas to grab some snacks. huiyi is hopelessly terribly irrevocably huiyi.

huiyi: where's the toilet? i need the toilet.
mir: AIYAH (uncaringly and irritably) there there there [points in random direction at the lift, cos we were on a bench right in front of the lift. just fyi, there were no toilets anywhere near the lift or whatsoever]
huiyi: eh. it's not what i thought that's the lift?

jas and i came up with the perfect rhyming couplet for her.
mir: gosh huiyi i don't understand.
your body is so long and tall, but your brain is so...
jas: SMALL!
mir&jas: HAHAHAHAH
jas: omg it totally rhymes la!

and that's how you determine something that's "so huiyi".

as i was saying, i had a headache, so i bathed upon getting home and slept. all the freaking way till 7 plus and my mum came back from a funeral. ): funerals scare me. i seriously don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight. then again, judging from the amount of sleep i devour if given the opportunity, i probably would be able to sleep perfectly well.

ooh i just saw this interview with tao li. it's so cute they gave her a surprise. She's a fan of stafanie sun ysee, so they were like "tao li, we have a little surprise for you" and stefenie sun just WALKS OUT of the curtains. Tao li was totally shocked hahaha.

a little excerpt that i kind of remember (not quite accurate)
host: why do you like stefanie
taoli: i don't know i just like her songs and i listen to them before i race
host: oh. so stefanie can claim a bit of credit for beating the asian record too!

host: so, stefanie do you swim
stefanie: um, i paddle. slowly...
host: anywhere near taoli standards?
stefanie:um, close, close
host: so taoli, do you sing? stefanie standard?
tao li: um no no. my singing is quite... not ... nice

haha okay now i shall try to get myself to sleep. emphasis on the try.

tag replies
chewlin: love you! (: and thanks <3
pingting: i'm LUCKY! haha that's why i HAD to buy it. couldn't believe my eyes.
na: haha in miranda world there is
lolololol: lol!
anabelle: wow! i MIGHT change this blogskin soon actually. but we're telepathic haha!
alch: hi amanda (:
marge: PHELPS FTW eh wait no need he ALREADY won! park tae hwan <3
pingting: REALLY! hahaha so THAT'S his secret!


Sunday, August 17, 2008 Y 11:49 PM

quite a few things on my mind right now


1) Breaking Dawn

Hm. How shall I put it? It's not my favourite book but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Somehow I'm pretty satisfied with the end. Call me idealistic or unrealistic but a happy ending works with me. Anyhow, it isn't unbelievable or over-the-top fairytale. In fact, if you ask me, the characters have gone through enough turmoil and torture in the book. One thing I have misgivings about - Renesmee's speech. I know she's supposed to be progressing rapidly but I can't picture a little girl talking that way. It's pretty strange. In this book there are some really good parts where really couldn't put the book down. Strangely, I like Jacob better in this book, probably cos you see things from his perspective in the middle portion. I like Bella slightly more too cos you can't help but sympathise with someone who's in pain (though she asked for it) and who loves all the wrong things.

I think Breaking Dawn would make a pretty good movie actually. I foresee a lot of CG though. Let's see if they turn the Twilight saga into the next big movie series.
I'm now reading The Host. Its really pretty interesting. Stephenie Meyer takes on a new tone of voice.


2) Phelps and his eighth gold

The guy is phenomenal, I must admit. And damn lucky. He did work very hard to get to where he is and let's hope he continues keeping up that standard.


3) Singapore vs China Table Tennis Gold match

okay we lost. dang. Singapore probably stood no chance against China anyway. We had like world no.6 & 7 against world no.1 & 2. talk about competition. Still, it was a pretty hair-raising match. At least we get a medal. Should be satisfied. Wonder if Singapore's ever getting a gold medal at the olympics.


4) Scotland penguin receives knighthood


Nils Olav, the mascot for the elite Norwegian King's Guard, waddled into the history books Friday as the penguin was knighted at the Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland.
Its so unbelievable isn't it? and so adorable :D See this article for details
5) something I can't remember anymore
shit. I hate it when I suffer from NTM (no term memory for the less informed) I probably got this condition from hanging out too much with long-term sufferers like huiyi and amanda.
off to sleep and i cannot believe that
6) CHEM SPA IS FIRST BLOCK TOMORROW dammit


Monday, August 11, 2008 Y 10:38 PM

i cannot fail math
i will not let myself fail math
i cannot disappoint people
i will go through every single damn thing in my file
i will be a slightly happier person after tomorrow


Y 4:24 PM

okay miranda
you will not freak out for math
you will not freak out over your terrible time management
you will not hate shakespeare for not writing an end to the bloody induction scene
you will not get all worked up and unable to think properly

you will continue finishing 6 pages worth of lit pt and attempt to translate it to old english despite it being impossible
you will complete lit pt by 6pm
you will revise math thoroughly, meaning every damn worksheet you've ever done related to the topics has to be read through and if possible, redone
you will sleep before 12 tonight
you will make notes for math
you will remember to bring everything you need to bring tomorrow

lastly and most importantly, you will do your very very very best to make sure that everything above happens.


Sunday, August 10, 2008 Y 11:20 PM

this is very bad.

pingting got me addicted to watermelon chupa-chups



today when i was in NTUC with my mum, i saw a shelf of fruit chupa-chups. i randomly picked up a packet and noticed that the population density of said packet was 80% watermelon. too good to be true.



i decided to give cherry another chance. maybe, just maybe, julian was right and cherry tastes nice. i took a lick and threw the rest away. seriously, it tastes like, cockroach or something. julian needs a new tongue.

HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE

okay as a tribute to Singapore and as an attempt to be slightly more patriotic, i will type in red today. no white cos it probably can't be seen.

We had our inter-rgs national day parade yesterday. heh. thank goodness it didn't rain like yesterday. otherwise i would have killed someone. practised so hard for nothing. speaking of rain, me and jas are weird. haha. we had a whole sms conversation spanning 2 hours plus about rain. sample of conversation is as follows.

m: i bet its gonna rain
j: no it isn't! i hope it isn't
m: HA, it rained
j: ya fine. but it stopped very fast not counted
(about half hour later)
m: omg its like POURING so heavily now i cant even see the scenery when i look out of my window! (its true okay)
j: no. my side no rain.
(5 mins later)
j: k fine. it started already.

haha. and then we talked about what a weird conversation we had. and we concluded that we're weird. btw, we both live in Pasir Ris.

anyway. after the parade there was the performance. when the guest of honour was giving out the prizes to the sec fours, Nandi made the quote of the day. btw, he was wearing his army no.3 uniform i think. He's some really high ranking officer.

host: let us invite our guest of honour, _______ to give out prizes!
nan joins our class after her performance
nan: hey why is the security guard giving out prizes?

haha. after the concert i went out with eenette & nat kim. we gossiped a little :0 nah its harmless and we're girls. and then we watched journey to the centre of the earth. It was surprisingly better and more exciting than i expected. Eenette & I practically screamed when the dinosaur came out. And that is the reason i can't stand Jurassic Park. heh. We saw tianyi michelle and janine at kfc and gave them a shock. haha tian totally screamed her head off. they had their revenge >: we were walking in this place where there were no people then we heard my name. softly and then eenette's name and we were like, omgomg what is that. investigating led to a lot of screaming and yelling.

then went to meet pingting nathan & julian at plaza sing. they were all there already ): and i thought i was early. there were no more tickets for dark knight ):):): i AM going to watch it some day. anyway we watched money no enough II. Again, better than I expected. movie critics are so not trustable. pingting and me totally cried our eyes out. and nathan as usual, was having fun watching us cry. well we kinda saw someone familiar in the cinema. and later on in the toilet,while washing hands i saw that it really was madel. haven't seen her for ages!
i hope things are better and i'm so sorry we made things worse

anyway we ended up at bugis again, and had dinner there. We talked lots and went home rather late :O (i love that face hehe) pingting and I waited at macs for her dad to send us home. we practically fell asleep at macs :O i did. haha i fell asleep the minute i reached home.

thats how my national day eve went and today, my national day's gna be a lot more boring. lit pt, here i come.


Thursday, August 7, 2008 Y 12:02 AM

gosh i get so irritated with him sometimes. quit breathing down my neck already. seriously, i don't think he even trusts me. i've survived fifteen years of it. wonder how i did it. nagnagnag. the way he does it really gets on my nerves. i realise thats the whole point but its just so irksome. and he won. ugh.


Wednesday, August 6, 2008 Y 9:25 PM

new blogskin (:
i like it. not too plain and not too overdressed. heh.


Tuesday, August 5, 2008 Y 11:11 PM

hm. very strange. my blog can be seen again. ohwell. i was planning on changing the blogskin soon anyway.

The electrical appliances in my house seem to all be breaking down this year. First it was the fan, suddenly smoke billowed out from it and there was this huge power trip. Okay so we got a nice new BIG fan. no complaints there. Anyway it's as old as I am haha. Next its the air-con. making wheezing sounds and all. Rather irritating. And then we have our fridge. It started smelling really weird. I was really freaked out actually cos I didn't know it was from the fridge and the kitchen smelt like, i dunno rotten? And it was like first day of the seventh month. brrr. well turns out its cos some blood (ew) dripped into the system or something. Well we got a nice new shiny fridge that's SO much bigger and more spacious. No complaints at all. My mum went on a grocery shopping spree :D btw it's ALSO as old as me. heh.

Today was the sec fours' last session with us. I was feeling really sad during today's session. I can't believe time flies so fast. We're gonna be sec four soon. and I'm really gonna miss the sec fours so much. It's really gonna feel strange being the senior seniors of Tribune and somehow there's more weight in the role. I'm really thankful that we have such wonderful seniors. They really are a very big part of why I love Tribune. They created the really warm family ambience that I hope will continue to live on. I miss the '07 sec fours too. Sigh. I said in that 'speech' today that Tribune is like a little family to me. I really really mean it. It has been such a big part of my secondary school life and I'm glad I got to grow together with the cca. A lot of what we do is very behind-the-scenes and we do really take pride in what we do. I'll admit we need a lot of improvement in a lot of areas. I promise I'll make sec four farewell memorable and as unforgettable as possible.




Saturday, August 2, 2008 Y 9:47 PM

history pt is KILLING ME and i dont know why the hell my blog can't be seen ARGH pissed off
