::slow::
This page took forever to load. Sometimes I wonder why we pay so much but get only so little. Had quite an enjoyable day today. Might sound shallow, but when I received an SMS I would feel rather happy cos someone remembered me. When there is an overwhelming amount of SMS, I would rather people forget about me. [People are always like that. What we want is forever a mystery.] Something weird happened during GP today. The teacher did not ask my group to present! That's very very unusual of him. But I suppose it is because there would be a sit-in teacher for the next lesson so he could not afford to be late. Good for me [I was the presenter]. The beginning of PW was really boring. Could really fall asleep. Coupled with the fact that I slept at 3am this morning... you could imagine the agony I was subjected to. But the thing is that I did not feel very tired today. [Humans are weird. When they get enough sleep, they are tired the next day. But when they don't, they appear quite chirpy the next morning.] The Olympic Games have come to an end. Stayed up last night just to watch the closing ceremony. Many thoughts crossed my mind. Such glory and honour the winning athelete would bring to the country. But such pain and shame they would feel should they lose. I guess I will never be able to experience that heavenly sort of joy and excruciating pain. [I realised that my train of thoughts are very disorganised.] Back to project work. That childish group leader of ours really ... I am speechless. He is hyperactive for the wrong things! Rocked the chair and fell off. Boy, that WAS funny. He deserved it. The whole class was laughing at him. But he never learns. After he picked himself up, he still insisted on rocking the chair. Finally brought the Da Vinci Code today. I realised that it's quite a popular read. Saw quite a number of people reading it. But I can't start on it until I finish that bimbotic book that I am reading now. Brought teachers' day cards for my secondary school teachers. Had a hard time picking the cards. Just finished my math e-tests. Failed the one that I thought I knew how to do. Darn. Let's end with a quote that I found recently.

::listen to me::
I feel very lazy to blog today, but nevertheless, I still found myself typing here. Caught up with an onslaught of songs today. Sadly only a few sounded nice. Where have all the talented composers and singers gone? Even Jay Chou was quite a let down. His new album didn't sound as nice as I had expected it to be. Maybe listening to it for a few more times would help. [Did I offend anyone here?] Was trying to create a Sim today. But it was really difficult. No inspiration came and I sort of gave up. Now I am searching for inspiration. Watched diving and synchronised swimming just now. Finally caught it. Was figuring out when was the show for days. Went for service learning it the afternoon. Gave tuition to the kids. Now I finally know how hard it is to be a teacher. [I finally appreciate and understand why you get mad, even though I did not blow up in front of my students, which you did in front of me] My friends appeared rather fierce when teaching them. It's really kind of frustrating. Especially when they make something that was so trival sound so very hard. And I couldn't explain things properly to them either. I couldn't even do one particular question. My goodness. Maybe I should not even be studying Math C. But I think that the kids that I took were great. Not very problematic and their attention wasn't as short as it was expected to be. Realised that there really isn't any humour in my blog for a very very long time. It gets really boring. There's this fake pine tree in school to hang up teachers' day messages. It's still pretty bare.

::pictures for fun::
Don't really know what they are called, but they looked really cute. I would love to go to Athens to watch the Games.
Saw this while surfing awhile ago. Cute. But I am not advertising for anybody okay.
::11/15::
Yet again, I have not blogged for 2 days. I was really depressed, especially on Wednesday. Felt like a pile of shit. My physics spa was totally screwed. Not elaborating anything here, least some of you might find it too draggy. Yesterday was just as terrible. Still failed my NAPFA because I still couldn't pass my broadjump. I sort of resigned myself to fate though I know I shouldn't. Could really use some practise. Think I will most likely land myself in the SPECIAL class.
Tried quite a number of chocolates the past few days. Ate the Old Jamaica, Dream (with chocolate pieces) and the Speck-tacular M & Ms. Indulgence.
The physics paper went quite terribly today. It started off nicely but ended with a crash. OUCH! Wonder if there is Service Learning tomorrow. Would really want to go to MPH to get the Da Vinci Code. There are quite a lot of cool 'detective' stories on sale. Wanted to get Harry Potter but still have not gotten it. Boring, isn't it. There ain't much humour I can add to these blogs nowadays. Just loads of grumbling that put people off. Well, no one's forcing you to read anyway. Just let me piss myself off. ARGH.
And by the way, did the e-test on Waves just now. It's like the best thing that happened this week cos I got 11/15. I actually PASSED! WAHAHAHA!!!
{And I still have not took advantage of Swensen's Topless 5 offer. Darn.)

::what a fluke::
Many things happened today. But only a few were good things.
Went to the Hub to print my research material today but the sick computer hanged again and again. I think the diskette's kind of faulty or something. Maybe there's too much stuff inside. That was my 4th or 5th attempt to print it in school. Status: FAILED
The Econs teacher did not come for lesson today. She always seem to be missing, for some reason we don't know. Anyway, she gave us some work to do. But alas, I have not done it and it's beyond my capability. And it's due tomorrow!!! Status: FAILED
After lunch, we went to the Hub (again), this time to have fun. Was browsing my Friendster account with my friend. Came across this girl and she wanted me to show her the picture. I was quite undecided. I was worried that something that should not be seen was there. But I showed her anyway. When I saw the 'thing that should not be seen', I immediately covered it up and closed the window. But the harm was already done even though she did not see it clearly. It's quite a story difficult to explain, but it concerns my friend's privacy and I had indirectly exposed the secret that should have been kept a secret. SMSed the girl to delete the photo but there was no response. Shit. I feel kind of bad. STATUS: UNDECIDED
Anyway, NAPFA was an hour after that. I failed my broadjump again. I was really very very very upset. Almost cried but held back my tears cos I felt I did not deserve to cry. I think some people may think that my attitude towards that broadjump thing isn't very good. But it's just their perception problem. Who can understand how I felt? Have to go for a retest this Thursday. Please let me pass!!! STATUS: FAILED
But (as always) beyond the darkness there is light. I was extremely pleased with my 2.4km run result. 14:51, an all time best!! I broke my previous record!! WAHAHAHA!!! Got back a B after 3 years!!! STATUS: PASSED (and extremely happy)
Also, my friends gave me moral support during the NAPFA, and I was touched. Thank you all!

::domestic disturbance::
Sounds familiar? It's the title of the movie I watched 2,3 years ago. Felt that it is quite suitable as a title for the events that happened today. It was a rather lousy day to begin with. Forgot to bring my math Sigma assignment, got blamed for something I didn't do and got scolded by my Mother cos my Dad went crazy over some small thing. My bank account is shrinking each day. I am extremely upset about that. MUST SAVE MUST SAVE MUST SAVE!!! ARGH!!!!! My life is really killing me. Especially when I reach home and face the adults who get so childish and silly sometimes. Dang it. Don't really wish to elaborate about the stuff that happened today. It's quite long and I don't wish to wash dirty linen in public. But there's something good that happened as well. Watched Twins Effect 2 (rather entertaining movie) and my math teacher did not blame me for not bringing the assignment. There's NAPFA tomorrow! I must pass it. Don't want to got for retest. Please let me jump 154cm tomorrow!!!

::where is it?::
Yesterday evening was rather dreadful. My mom was quarreling with the taxi driver. Actually I didn't know who started it but it somehow started and I was pretty pissed. At that point I really hated all the adults. [I'm still a teen ok?] And the barbeque was kind of boring to me. There were a lot of people, but I don't know at least 3/4 of them. It was my cousin's 21th birthday so she invited us to the chalet. My mom had quite a fair bit of fun though, helping out here and there and mixing with the university kids. I sat in front of the dining table the whole time, eating away with my sister. At least I still got to eat. The chicken was really very well marinated because it was the nicest chicken wing I ever tasted at someone's barbeque [I don't think I know how to spell that word]. Went to bed really late last night cos I stayed up with my sister to watch the Olympics. I did not expect it to be so much fun, watching the Games. We were commenting on the swim suits and how long they will to swim and everything. There's the finals today, for the track and field [100m] I think. And I don't know who's stupid idea is it to show those silly ghost films. The advertisements are really disturbing and I have to turn off the television set everytime I see those sicko ads. ARGH!!! What's so nice about ghost films anyway? Just get frightened and end up having that disgusting kind of 'aftertaste'. But then again, I still have not watched the Village. There are many movies that I want to watch, but I do not have the time!!! The Sims 2 are releasing next month!! Ya!! I have been waiting forever for it to be released. Went to the Matrix portal with intentions to do the physics online quiz. But I somehow can't find it. Hmmm.

::100::
Wow, have not blogged for 2 days already and my hits counter have not seen any movements. Maybe after today it will jump albeit. Too early to blog but if I don't do it now, my sister will monopolise the computer for the whole day. On Thursday I ran my 2.4km. I was quite disappointed with my performance (even though I did not see my own timing. When I started with my last round, it was 12:30minutes and I thought I could make it to below 15minutes. I guess I did not cos when I was one quarter done, my timing was already 13:30!! So I couldn't break my own previous record of 15:01!! ARGH!! And when I was running, there was this person who kept walking and then overtaking me. Damn, that was so irritating!! Can't she just run without stopping? [Ok, I'm just grumbling as usual] Wanted to watch Singapore Idol on Thursday but because I had to study for my Econs, I had to record it instead. Should I just drop that bloody subject??? I mean, it's interesting, but it's so darn difficult to apply!! And I failed my Econs test again. [12/25] By half a mark!! And my new disgusting nickname has sort of evolved over the past 2 days to become Rosy and mei2 gui4. [Apparently blogger can't show chinese words] Yuck!!!! And they seem to derive pleasure from calling me that name in such a gross voice! But it was quite amusing as well. Was kind of funny [for them]. During lunch, my friends and I went to the toilet. While we were passing by, we caught sight of this new artwork. It was really very very well drawn. I think it was a highly commended piece of work or something. Why is it that some people can draw so well while I just can't? [I should just stop grumbling] And I still have not done anything to the html code that my friend asked me to help. Went to this monopoly competition yesterday. It was a crazy game [actually the game wasn't crazy, it was the players who made it crazy]. The competition wasn't very well received. Only 2 tables were left and one table for those who were actually in the whole competition [quite sad looking]. You could say our class dominated the whole room. People were like screaming away when they had to pay thousands for stopping by at the hotels and whatever. And they were cursing and jinxing each other. [Amusing to see people behaving like that] I didn't eat for almost the whole day cos I did not have any money. It was surprising. I didn't feel like I was starving or anything. I hate my brother. He is so irritating!!! Just listening to his bloody voice makes me sick!!! ARGH!! Misery!!! Watched Singapore Idol just now. Some contestants are really very shitty and irritating. They should just stop being so egoistic [he said he didn't have a big ego but YES! he is so damn over confident about himself]. Hopefully he gets voted out next week. But the judges are kind of weird. Some people can really sing [their personality don't suck to me] but they don't get a chance. And I don't quite trust that show anymore. My friend told me the news reported that the banana man segment was fake. It was arranged!! Cos before meeting the actual panel of judges, contestants had to go through another panel first and the banana man didn't make it pass the 1st panel. They put him on TV so as to gain more viewership!!! [The last sentence was a comment made my me, in case you get confused] But then again, I am not sure about the credibility of this information. Maybe my friend bluffed me again [I always get tricked by them easily]. Will go check it out. Decided to show the blogger navbar. Hopefully having that thing there will make my hit counter jump. [My sister's blog currently have 1000+ hits already and I am still crawling behind]

::shi mien mai fu::
School was quite fun today. Had the most interesting GP lesson in this school. The lecturer was surprisingly witty and funny, full of sharp comments about things. She could go and be a comedian. No wonder she said she was a popular teacher in the good old days. Albeit too dramatic though. My friends said they wanted to give me a christian name. Although I strongly disapproved of them doing so, they still went ahead with it (as they always do). And they gave me the most disgusting name, Rose. (DISCLAIMER: To all those Roses out there, I don't mean to be rude, but this just ain't the kind of name I want. I don't exactly feel like a flower you know?) Oh my goodness! Of all names!! And they started to talk about Titanic and everything. They did give me a chance to change that name, but in the end, they still insisted on Rose. YUCK! After recess as we were proceeding to the library, me and another 2 girls were standing in front of this notice board, looking at the pictures. The others had gone up the stairs. I thought they won't come back for us, but I was kind of wrong. They started yelling "Rose! Rose!" at the top of their voices (but somehow I didn't hear it, my friend did) and my friend was asking me who was this Rose person. I was like "Oh please stop it!!" (-_-||| and they were like "hahahaha!". Ok, whatever. Well, as I was sorting my scores, my friend took the file away because she saw the class photo at the back and she started writing the nicknames of everybody at above their names. I quite disapproved of it again (but they went ahead with it, as usual). But it was rather funny and we made quite some noise and were ssshed at by some muggers in the library. I kind of jumbled up my physics SPA today. I didn't convert the cm to m!! (Hint hint) ARGH!! I was so demoralised and disappointed. But CO went well. Did not get scolded but was fumbling away because I had to keep changing instruments. Please let me run well for 2.4km tomorrow!! Homework, here I come! (Darn, ain't this is so cliche??)

::bloated::
Finally I got back my Spiderman 2 poster, framed!! It is so pretty! WAHAHAHA! Now I am wondering where in the house am I going to hang it. There ain't enough hooks in the house and my father is too lazy to drill one for me. I told my mom that when we move into our new house in the future, she must make an area for me where I can hang my posters and show them off! Haha! I want spotlights shining on them too! (Am I too excited?) Have not posted anything for the past 2 days. Nothing much really happened (even if something really did happened, I would have forgotten it by now.) Today I skipped lunch just to get my project work minutes printed. But the 2 computers that were linked to the printers were all occupied and I had no choice but to wait. Finally one of the users left. I was really happy (at last!) but before I was even near the computer, another guy had already placed his arse on the chair! I was rather pissed and kind of embarassed. So I simply went on to do other stuff, which was collating of the survey results. I saved it in my diskett already, so all I had to do was to open the file. But (bloody hell!) my many attempts to open it was unsuccessful! I even tried different computers! My time there was wasted and I was quite grouchy when I left the place. Had CO today. It was quite an interesting practice. Am beginning to like going to CO again! HAHA! Things have finally taken a good turn (for all you know, everything will change tomorrow). We practiced behind the girls toilet and it stank! Phew! Anyway, I am supposed to be studying now because there's physics SPA tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow's CO practice will be ok as well. My insect bites are getting better and better day by day (though not any better)! Now my blog looks ugly because of that half appearing, half not appearing blogspot ad. This is so stupid! Why must they create all these??? Now I am pissed again. HAHA! Not any more! I just fixed it a few seconds ago! Now it looks nice again. (Smart eh?)

::what a day!::
I'm so tired today. Woke up at 6am this morning because there was this Econs Seminar at NYP. I was quite surprised by the turnout. There were so many people! My friends and I were nearly the last few to go into the auditorium. (Majority of the girls were late.) When we opened the door leading to the auditorium, we were rather surprised by the amount of people inside and had no choice but to sit at the 2nd row in front. Not exactly the best spot cos I had to tilt my head up so high to look at the screen and speaker. Wanted to go to the toilet during the break.It was after much discussion that I decided to go, together with a friend. We were heading towards the toilet when we saw people carrying boxes and boxes of FOOD!!! My goodness! It was an opportunity not to be missed!! We went into the reception room to queue and then the other girls poped out of nowhere and claimed that going to the toilet was an excuse. (I am not that greedy you know.) Anyways, it was quite an interesting seminar (not forgetting the food as well). Went to Orchard after that. It was a tough choice between Orchard, J8 and Suntec. We used the OTAS and the 'put-the-ball-into-the-jar approach to decide on our destination. Went to Far East Shopping Centre. They were looking for some bikini shop or something. Saw one and we tried to get one of the girls to try one for us to see. She asked us when can she wear it if she bought it. The topic on class outing come out again. HAHA! Talked about the Wild Wild Wet, Sentosa, kayaking and dragon boating thing again. Non of us bought it anyway. It was bloody expensive for a tiny piece of cloth. Had an interview after that. One of the guys was late for 20 minutes! Had to walk so darn fasting to the place. We even lost our way even though we had the map. But it was not a wasted trip. The lady we thought was a sports therapist and psychologist turned out to be gay and the interviewer had no choice but to change the questions last minute. We (the copiers) were caught off guard and didn't know what to copy. (Stupid.) It wan't easy interviewing her. But she gave us quite a lot of materials, like flyers of some gay plays and showed us Manazine. But we couldn't bring the Manazine home (underaged). There were quite some lot of disgusting postcards in the office. Oh well, just pretend I didn't see anything. We were telling her that we had a hard time contacting the People Like Us and then she said she was the President of PLU! Imagine our surprise!!! WOW! Not a wasted trip indeed. She said she would introduce some gays to us so we can interview them. HAHAHA! My legs are aching away now.

:: friday the 13th::
Ok, so today was supposed to be one unlucky day since it's friday the 13th. But for me, everyday seems to be unlucky. Ever since this Wednesday, nothing very good has befallen me. I screwed up all my tests today, forgot to bring my Math tutorial, Physics notes and almost got scolded for not studying exceptionally diligently for my Econs. But this is really not as bad as what happened to me on Wednesday and Thursday. My insect bites are taking a turn for the better. The redness is fading already. Only the bite marks are still there, plus some redness. Must say that the medicine I used was really effective. Cos my friend said for her (she also got inflicted by those bites before) it took a long time to recover and there was pus at the wound. That didn't happen to me. Looks like the medicine was really worth it (though I do not know how much it costs, but it seems to be rather expensive). Today the class (ok, not exactly the class) was discussing where to go for the class outing. It was really funny.
Here are some examples of suggested outing venues:
-Wild Wild Wet (Ogle at cute guys cos our school don't have any and [for a very small minority] to look at pretty lifeguards. What to wear? "Aiya, wear your bikini LAH!")
-Pulau Ubin for picnic (To fully utilise all human resources)
-Esplanade to watch a play
-24hr Outing (Play all day till we collapse from fatique- yeah, a BRILLIANT idea, isn't it?)
-Sit the cable car back and forth (Maybe we can hide in the carraige or somewhere so we can hitch a free ride.)
-Sentosa for a swim (Look at 1st reason)
-Genting Highlands and visit their casinos (Just being able to play the jackpot is good enough)
-Escape
-Kayaking at Kallang River (What to wear? Some ask AGAIN.)
-Dragon Boating (Me to be the one hitting the drum to rally others along)
-Go to A***'s house (But he claims that he needs the whole house for himself and his girlfriend so we can't go)
-Go to Johor or KL (Take TigerAir [ROOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!] to save money)
-Go for SPA (Aren't we sick of them??)
-Go for a cruise that leads to nowhere on one of the weekdays (and leave Mr. Mugger Mugger in class).
-Go to Athens to watch the Olyampics (To be fully sponsered by ?)
-Ice Skating
-Movie (the presumably most boring suggestion)
And many many more that I have forgotten. Those words in brackets are not my intellectual property, majority of the suggestions aren't either. I really hate to go to the interview tomorrow. I am so sick of them already!!! ARGH!! Next Friday there's going to be another interview. Yuck. Why should we have so many?? It's so boring!! And I feel so bloated now.

::triple decker::
Today was also another terrible day. Why does it seem that my life is getting worse and worse? Those insect bites seem to be getting worse and more itchy. Lost my spectacles in the morning. How I lost it I don't know. And it's the 2nd time I lost my new pair of spectacles. Now I will have to spend another $150 to make a new pair. The insect bites are so unnatural. It's warm to touch even though the entire body is cold. And it's terribly red now. Hopefully there will be no PE next Tuesday. Why must those insects bite me of all people? There are 2 test tomorrow. Chemistry and Economics and I have studied non. What kind of life am I leading now? Let me think of some good things that have happened. I ate a really nice bar of chocolate today. The Cadbury triple decker! And the movie I wanted to watch is now open! And there's no PE today! Well, at least I still have my family and a home and I am not living in fear of not having enough food to eat or water to drink. Must learn to count my own blessings!! Tomorrow will be a better day!!! Wow! I am amazed how smart blogspot is! It actually did not delete this post when there was some glitch just now! Almost went mad after the screen flashed the words Message Not Sent. Haha! Count my blessings!!

::free n easy::
Really liked this picture of Ayumi. The words illustrate what I want to be right now. Free & Easy. This is quite an old single of hers in case you want to know.
::argh!!::
Today was really a very bad day. The worst ever since I started blogging. Firstly, because I reached the bus interchange early today, I sat down on one of the benches. I was messaging my friends and then, I felt a prickly, itchy sensation at the part of my skin that was in contact with the bench. I thought it was nothing so I simply dismissed it. But the feeling just kept coming and soon it got to another leg. I really wanted to stand up but I thought I would look stupid if I did, so I continued sitting down there. My friends eventually came. When I stood up and brushed my hand on my skirt, I felt there were bumps under the skirt!! YUCK!! It was so damn disgusting, I lost my appetite. I think I was bitten by some insect. I am never going to sit down on that bench again. The next worst thing was during physics class. I got back my physics paper and I failed, AGAIN! This time by 2 marks. I could have passed it I had been more careful!!!! And then there CO to talk about. Today's practise was the most screwed one for me. The piece that I was playing turned out like a load of crap. The conductor was not happy at all. But I'm just stupid and slow ok? At least the people there didn't treat me like dirt. Called home to ask my brother to record Singapore Idol for me but in the end had to listen to his rude and unwilling voice. Home is the best place to be. I got back, bathe and applied medication on the insect bites. Told my father about it but he didn't care one bit. At least my printer's ok now. And there's no PE tomorrow!!!

::Post national day::
Tomorrow is going to be another boring day. So what really happened today? Redid my blog this morning. Does this new skin look better than the previous one? I think I liked the previous one better. But I spent much more time on this one. Nah, can't decide. Spent about the whole day doing my homework. My brother said he wanted to go down and jog at 2pm in the afternoon. Gave my friend the response she needed for the survey questions. Am going to post it to her tomorrow. The most important thing that happened today was that I finally got my Spiderman 2 poster framed!! My mom brought it to the shop to get it framed up for me. It costs $80!! Told my mom that I will return her the money. She said I only need to return her half of it because it's too expensive and she did not want me to spend too much. AWW!! I am so grateful!! Another thing off my wishlist! Spent so much nowadays. I don't really like to go for CO recently. It's not that I hate it (in fact, I think I like my CCA quite a lot), I just don't really enjoy going into the CO room. Don't want to spell out things too clearly here. Too many eyes looking. (Ok, maybe not, but just in case). You could use some guessing once in a while. But how does that bother YOU anyway? (Was I rude or something?) My sister asked me to write a letter explaining why she didn't go to school last Friday. Oh well.
::poem::
We will just have to be patient,
To live our journeys out.
Till in heaven;
we reunite,
For eternity, never to part.
Saw this in someone's blog and thought it was quite a nice poem. (I edited it a little.) Decided to put it here for more to see.

::National Day!::
::National Day!::
Finally today is National Day! Singapore is 39 years old already! Spent the whole morning working on my written report for the project work but it turns out that I don't actually need to write so much! Bleah! Wasted so much time and effort on it. Now they give part of the whole section back to me and ask me to edit it. What about the others? Did so much for project work today. I feel so tired and sleepy. Went to interview this guy with my group today. He was quite difficult in a sense. But he's really rich. Took all 5 of us to the Westin Stamford for the interview. It was at the cafe at the lobby. He made us order drinks because he said that the people there won't let us sit there unless we get something. It wasn't cheap! We flipped through the menu and decided on coke, the cheapest of all. And it's $8 for a glass of coke, mind you! We had a rather hard time interviewing him. At the beginning, it was still quite interesting. He asked us questions while we (sort of) rebuked him. But it started to get really boring. The whole thing dragged on for 2 hours!! We were all very tired after that. When he asked for the bill, I was still wondering how are we going to settle it. While, the guys said they wanted to pay for it but in the end it was still him who paid for the whole thing. Just for a few cup of drinks, $50 was wasted! He could have just bought us to Starbucks instead. But it was quite the experience. If not for today's interview, I would have never stepped in the Westin Stamford. Not trying to sound like some poor, wretched girl. It's just that I see no point in going into the hotel. Missed 30minutes of the National Day Parade (NDP). I was rather upset. Luckily I reached home in time to catch the fly pass and Mr Lee and his cabinet entering the Stadium. I like to watch the parade segment most. I like the kind of patriotic feeling. (Especially when the President waves at the audience). This is the last year PM Goh is attending the parade as Prime Minister. To be frank, I was kind of sad. When they had the tribute thing, I was extremely moved. Our dear PM Goh has really done a lot for us. He was also moved to tears when he saw the tribute. I guess a lot of people felt a little sad. Singapore Idol was kind of funny. Watched the people doing all sorts of funny stuff to impress the judges. There's the lemon tree guy and the whispering man. Don't these people ever learn? Ok, I am not as brave as them, so I really should just shut up. But there are those that really can sing! Boy, I hope that someone really good with all the X factor will win. Hopefully it's not yet another crappy singer. Until now, I think Singapore Idol is still rather successful. It's a Singaporean production after all. (Must be patriotic you see, it's National Day!! Happy Birthday Singapore!!)

::WE ARE SINGAPORE::
::WE ARE SINGAPORE::
What a title!! Was thinking what to write in the title box. Then I told my sister that I shall write the name of the song that will play next. Since National Day is coming (tomorrow in case you have forgotten), I was listening to some NDP songs (ok, my sister said I should write I am listening to my entire collection of National Day songs) to show off my patriotism. Aren't I patriotic? There's something wrong with the blogspot again. Darn. It's always having some problem. I just changed my layout added that version thing yesterday if you remember. My sister decided to follow suit. She was copying me! But that girl denied doing so (even though I have solid evidence) and said I don't understand the meaning of sharing! Oh well. Who really cares? No one will look here anyway. I still have not done my written report. Damn. Now I must wake up early tomorrow to get it done. My sister was really lame today. I wonder what's wrong with her. I was just saying she was blind and she rebutted me by saying she's not blind (Wo3 bu4 shi4 xia1 de4), she is a shrimp (wo3 shi4 xia1 zi1). OH MY GOODNESS!!! How lame can she get?? Was telling her just now that I want to design another layout. I want it to be really red. But is yellow better? She said the viewers will go blind if I make my blog yellow. Too bright. Perhaps she is right. Spent the whole morning and afternoon on project work. It's killing my brain cells. Tomorrow will be a rather terrible day because I have to do an interview and go to my project work meeting and finish my part of the written report. But it's good also because it's National Day!! I'm patriotic remember?? And my music player is currently playing 'One People, One Nation, One Singapore'! Want to say something that I'm really proud here. I broke my own record when I ran 2.4km on thursday!! My record time is 15:01minutes!! Wow!! (Okay, those who got better than me please don't say I'm bragging or whatever. You are not the best EITHER!!) Let me say something to give all who read this some inspiration: look at the sky, you can fly, it's all in the MIND!!!! (But my sister feels that this statement is not solid. Perhaps she like actions speak louder than words better. Who knows?) My sister helped me with cutting my toe nails just now. Promised her a cup of milo as payment. (But I still have not made it for her.) Met a lady with a short term memory just now. I'm not exaggerating. It's true. She forgets everything once you say something to cut off her train of thoughts. Ate some green coloured Tutu kueh just now. It was quite nice. Was sometime since the last time I ate it. Ah.. Memories.. Ok, now I'm going to make my sister her milo.

::different versions::
Decided to have different versions for my blog. The current one is v1.5.0.
NOTE: The original template was designed by lonelyger, future versions will be designed by me. I will keep the original layout but change the colour schemes and pictures. It's important to note this because it is only
right give others credit for what they have done.
::new pictures::
Changed the pictures on the blog today. Wanted to change it long ago but finally decided to budge only today. Spent quite some time on it. (Actually I felt that it was quite a good job!) I think I might change the whole skin after I get sick of this. My sister went to watch The Village yesterday. She said it wasn't scary!! Does that mean that the reviews were inaccurate? My sister even said that the Creature was rather cute looking. My goodness!! CUTE?? I had a hard time telling her to not tell me the details of the show. She wanted to tell me the whole plot. I can't let her spoil the show for me right? She even said that she did not want to watch the movie with me after watching the tralier. In the end she went ahead with it. If a scardy cat like her wasn't afraid, why should I be? (I suppose I'm more brave???) Saw this MV, Yu Huan (sung by Chen Si Han) today. The song was about fat people like Lady Yang. (Well, sort of.) Yu Huan was her name by the way. So there's this fat lady in the MV, bouncing away. Ok, I don't want to sound like I discriminate against them, but it's just that I felt the video looked kind of weird with her bouncing away, acting cute. (Ok, let me repeat myself: I have nothing against plump people.) Maybe some of you out there will think the same as me after watching the video. But I somehow admire the fat lady in the video. I mean, I think she must have had a lot of courage to act that out. At least they don't wallow in self-pity just because they are fat. That is (ok, I have a limited vocabulary), admirable. And I discovered from a friend yesterday that Siemens phones are good! I didn't know that. My friend said that they are very user friendly. So maybe when I change my phone a few years later, I will get a Siemens model. Quite surprised that there was no service learning today. I thought there was. Ate a lot today. I am still bloated now. Maybe I could go and watch The Village myself!!! (On second thought, I better not..) Jay Chou's new album is out now. Heard his new song Qi Li Xiang just now. My sister said she have not heard such a nice song from Chou for a very long time. She also mentioned that her friend has the album. Wonder what that means? I wonder how many people actually read my blog. Should I add a counter? But what if I get disappointed by the numbers? My daily audience is probably only 1 or 2 persons. And my sister refuses to link me to her blog. And I have no friends to link to. Damn miserable isn't it? Oh well, I guess it's best to keep this page to myself and a tiny circle of audience.

::national day celebrations::
Finally National Day is about to come soon! And with that, we get a 4 day long holiday! I was involved in the National Day celebrations in school today. It was quite boring. Was only involved in carrying the instruments. Got pissed of quite a few times as well. I am sure that others are pissed by me as well. I wonder how people judge you as their friend. They appear to be close to you and everything, but in the end it all seems to be only a pretence. They use you as a shield or something. I am quite saddened by that fact today. Brought my intergration to school to do while waiting for our turn to perform. I am quite glad that there are also nice people in CO that will help me in my studies. I didn't know how to do most sums and they guided me. Was pretty touched. But there's this girl whose laughter was most annoying. No wonder why so many people don't really like her. She always makes a funny sound after laughing, and that sound is terribly annoying. Makes you feel like slapping her. Seriously. And she was seated so close to me, making me unable to concentrate. I almost wanted to strangle her. By the way, I wonder how many people watched the exorcist. Heard it's the scariest movie of all time. I am interested to know how scary it is. There's always a limit to things. But being a coward like me, I don't really dare to watch it. Collated the survey results today. Was quite productive at first, but after the collation, we slackened quite a lot. My friend said she say our form teacher with a not-so-nice looking guy today. Wonder what's they relationship like. Ok, I know I sound like some gossip monger here, but, oh well. My friend's leaving for Hong Kong today!!! Hope she have fun there!! PS: Don't smile to yourself too often lah... Muahaha!

::ayu's new single!!::
Ok, I don't want to sound like I get paid promoting her single ( I have not even heard the songs in it). But I really like her new image so I decided to post it here.

::tests n more tests!!::
So I am actually supposed to be studying for my Physics and Econs test tomorrow. What am I doing here then? Usually nothing very interesting happens on Wednesday. Had the most miserable lunch today. Not that the food was miserable. The place that we sat was rather pathetic. (Ok, so it wasn't that bad after all.) Ate quite a lot today. In all, I ate 2 slices of bread, 1 slice of honeydew (which wasn't sweet at all), one plate of prawn noodle, one packet of milo, on piece of (very sweet) cookie, (almost) one packet of Poi Full and one cup of instant noodles. Wow! I thought I was supposed to save money. How very successful! I still want to buy Ayumi's new single. I like her new image!! So cool!! Maybe I could attach a picture of it here! Tomorrow I will be going out (again). Oh well, money to be spent again. Maybe I will buy a red shirt to wear on Friday for the National Day celebrations in school. I have never actually wore a red shirt to school for National Day. Wasted my time at CO today. Only helped to carry the instrument during the beginning and the ending of the rehearsals. We seem to pop out of nowhere to help out, according to my SL. My brother's making a hell lot of noise in his room. His complaining away that his chair is too high. Still not yet started on my Econs. Maybe I shall not study for it. I think I really will have to drop it at the end of the year because I have already signed the letter of declaration (quite complicated to explain). I guess I have nothing more to add. Hopefully tomorrow's PE won't be too tough! (Please don't let it be!!)

::one week's stuff::
Ok, so I didn't blog for one week already. I almost wanted to discard this blog. It's so troublesome to update this everyday. Let's start from last, last saturday.
::Saturday::
I went to Qiao Nan Primary for the service learning programme. I was kind of sick that day, didn't really want to go in the first place. Was walking really slowly towards the school, then suddenly (well, not really suddenly), these 2 primary school boys walked out of the school. One of them held a tennis bat (or what's the proper term?) in front of his face. I was wondering who that was. Most probably is someone who knows me. Anyway, I was too sick to bother, so I just walked past him. When he was just beside me, he exclaimed: "WAH! She don't remember me already ah?!" Well, of course I know who he was (even though I didn't look at him directly). He was like the new friend I made during the mentoring programme during the June holidays. Ha! Actually I didn't expect him to remember me. Quite a nice feeling to know that some kid remembered you even though you met them only once. That day was also the meet the parents day. My dad was quite pissed with the teacher cos she didn't tell the woman who cut the queue off. I had to restrain him so that he will not embarrass himself in public. Thankfully the teacher quickly apologised when it was my father's turn. Or else.. Well, what could possibly happen? Actually I prefer my mom to come with me for such meetings. But she wasn't free that day. Ok. Let's move on to Sunday now.
::Sunday::
I finally managed to get my dad to buy a new phone for me. I had quite a hard time deciding which phone to get actually. For the whole morning, I was thinking whether to buy the Samsung or Nokia model. Finally I decided to get the Nokia one cos my Sis said the Samsung model looked awful. I didn't regret getting the phone. Well, except that it wasn't really user friendly. I didn't manage to trade in my 8310 cos the vibrating alert wasn't working. It was really weird cos it was working fine in the morning when I was testing it. Ok. I got a confession to make. While I was waiting for my turn to get the phone, I swung the bag which contained the phone around and it landed with a thud on the floor. That must have spoilt it. Damn. The worst thing is that when my father tested the vibration alert on the last Sunday, it was working fine!!! So there's one thing off my wishlist!! Hahaha!! We shall skip monday and go on to tuesday.
::Tuesday::
Had the toughest PE that day. The teacher forced us to run one round around the track in 2 minutes. If one member of the class was unable to do so, we would have to run again. So we ran a total of 3 rounds. Fun, isn't it? Of course not!! It was a pure torture!! I hate PE now. Skip wednesday, going on to thursday.
::Thursday::
Got my NEWSWEEK magazine that day. Was quite shocked that they featured the NEW (catch that? it's NEW!!) IPOD. I was quite disgusted. Why is it that when I got the one this year, it wasn't the new one?? DAMN!! I was really quite pissed. SO, I brought my IPod, without the skin and asked my friends which one was nicer. I feel so stupid doing that actually. There was PE again today. This one wasn't as bad, but it was still bad. I worry for NAPFA. Although it's still quite some time away. I don't want to fail it.
::Friday::
Went to watch the House of Flying Daggers with my sister on friday. It was a much better movie as compared to Hero, which was also directed by Zhang Yimou. The plot was quite normal, but the colours were very vibrant and scenery beautiful! Nice score too. But may be too arty for some people. The ending was kind of lame. The female protagonist seemed to resist death even though the dagger stabbed her heart already. I was ready to step out of the cinema but I resisted that. The finale was interesting. Well, not very very amusing, but interesting enough to make me like that movie. Finally saturday.
::Next Saturday::
There's this IP (Integrated Programme) open house today at the school. Being part of CO, I had to turn up. Actually I don't see much sense in the whole thing. So few secondary school kids came. And when we performed our pieces, nobody was listening and we had to clap for ourselves. Pathetic. Anyway, we were supposed to rope in those hopefuls into the orchestra, so we went around asking. It was quite a failure I would say. I even mistook a primary school kid for a secondary school student. Argh. How embarrassing. Now about what happened yesterday.
::This Monday::
I was kind of sick yesterday. My brain was aching like hell from the time I woke up. It sort of got worst when I reached school and I was thinking if I should go home. But in the end, I still stayed cos I had an interview. Seriously, I think we don't need so many people to interview one person, but, oh well. I think that the interview was quite successful. It was much better than the 1st one. The lady was quite kind and she tried to answer our questions with substancial (i think I spelt that word wrongly) answers. She even agreed to help us find more interviewees and gave us suggestions on what we could do (which I thought was quite interesting).
::Today::
Today I discovered something about some people. I was really disgusted. Why people like to deceive me so? (Do I sound kind of dramatic here?) Yeah, so what exactly happened? It's quite a long story, and I am kind of lazy to spell everything out here. So let me write something else first. This morning, I sent an email to the dentist to confirm my appointment tomorrow. About 1 minute later, my father came to tell me that my mom's not free to bring me there tomorrow so I had better cancle the appointment. Boy, was I pissed. (I realised that my vocabulary's kind of limited.) There's CO sectionals today. I was such an idoit to wait in the CO room for my SL to come. There were already practising when I was waiting like a dumbo. Actually I wasn't really pleased because they didn't tell me earlier where they were practising. But nevermind. It's my fault. Ok, back to the story part. I finally discovered who was the real asshole in the school today. That fellow is such a .... I don't know how to describe him. I don't know how to phrase the sentences properly here. All I can say is that he treats me (or believes that) I am/as a brainless person, lying to me about some simple little things that need not be covered up. I bet he must have thought himself as very smart or whatever to be able to trick me. Thinking about that incident makes me feel like a fool. Why was I so gullible? And it's not the 1st time people tried to bluff me and make believe that something was for real. It's not exactly very enjoyable for the poor victim. And I am extremely disgusted to find out that he was exactly such a person. BLEAH!!!!
