::drama queen::
Was watching this music video just now and ..... it was sooooooooooo Lord of the Rings!!!!! I seem to see bits and pieces of Rivendell, Gondor and even Arwen. Oh well, I guess it's always like that. And I think that Lindsay Lohan is going to be another Britney Spears. Which is actually pretty sad. In case you want to know, the music video that I was talking about is 心中的日月, by Lee Hom.

::fear::
Was late for school today!!!!!!! This is really something unprecedented. Never had such an event occured before!!! [Well except of course the time I was late for the road run.] That stupid bus came so late!!! Should have taken the cab with my sister. That way I wouldn't be late for sure. Anyway, I took 196 to the back gate today. And to the horror of all of us, the prospective late comers, the gate was locked!!!! So we had no choice but to walk a very long distance to the main gate. And by the time, we were already late because they had just started with the National Anthem. We were actually quite reluctant to go into the school because we would definately get caught, so we just stood outside the gate. And there was this man who appeared puzzled as to why so many of us were standing outside the gate. Anyways, the OM came and growled at us and forced us into the school. My friend and I were among the last in 'queue' so we didn't go in. But anyway, the stupid OM still came out and shouted at us and chased us in. And there were quite a number of people inside. And those idiots were all looking us. Why [for goodness's sake] are they so nosey??!!! I got that huge urge to gourge their bloody eyes out. We got in and was greeted by the DM. I was late for the first time in my whole life, so I stood at one side. He asked us to write our names down and when we were done, he examined them and said:" Are you sure you are late for the first time??" Why you idiot!!! Course we are!!!!! Oh my gosh!! Can't teachers just have some faith in us??? Can't they trust us albeit more??! And when one guy said it was because of the bus who came late, the DM was like doing the "Don't give me that" action. See? When it's the truth, they don't believe. And yet they always like to ask us our reasons for our mistakes. It's just dumb. Since they don't buy it, why ask in the first place? Anyway, PE was my first lesson, and I was late for that as well. So i just put my bag on the gallery nearest to the track and took of my skirt there. Those girls from my class started making those silly noises and I was so ... urgh. Shouldn't have done that. They were really disgusting today, making fun of the poor guy whose shorts were too lose or too small, it was slipping of his butt and you could actually see maybe 3/7 of his arse. Poor guy, he became the butt of our little joke. Okay okay. I sound kind of mean here. Oh, and I realised that my road run timing was off. The teachers reset the timers when the staff started running, so I actually ran 3.6km in 23:18. Damn. I feel kind of cheated. I am going to watch Constantine with my class tomorrow!!! YAY!!! Finally!!! And did I mention that I want to take SAT?? It sounds like fun!!!

::SPA::
So much for SPA today. I doubt I can get 8 points. Perhaps the maximum I can get it only 6. =( There was one reading with the wrong significant figure, the uncertainty was may be calculated wrongly and the teacher may not understand how I got this particular value to be substituted into the calculation. But at least the graph was ok, sources of error and areas to improve are not that bad either. So maybe if I am really lucky I can get 7? Couldn't get my yield for Chemistry today. Well, actually I got it but I did not submit because the stupid crystal was stuck on the filter paper [too wet and no time to dry] and so I just gave up. SMSed my tutor to ask her if I could redo the practical but so far no reply. Maybe she can't be bothered about me. Next week will be the mock test for NAPFA. They will be testing 3 items, broadjump, 2.4km run and inclined pull ups. Damn, I think I will fail my broadjump again. The teachers say you need to do 3 pull ups to pass, but I can only manage one so far. HAH!!! Off to special class again!

I MUST GET FULL MARKS FOR TOMORROW'S PHYSICS SPA!!! I MUST GET FULL MARKS FOR TOMORROW'S PHYSICS SPA! I MUST GET FULL MARKS FOR TOMORROW'S PHYSICS SPA!!!!!!!!! Okay, so I am trying to psycho myself into getting full marks, which I really must, I repeat, must get!!! Or else I shall die a terrible death [or whatever]. My sister says she is the small furry and I am the large furry and her blanket is furry furry. Oh whatever.

::water holes::
Why water holes? Because there's this blister lookalike on my knee that is threatening to burst the more I pinch it. Gross? Anyway, when I was on my way to tuition, I witnessed something quite interesting. There's this little boy on the bus who was adjusting his bag and pants. Apparantly his pants were really long so he pulled them really high up. So you can imagine what he looks like. A little boy with those bowl like hairstyle carrying a big bag with his shirt tucked in and pants high up. He looked kind of uncomfortable. And then there's this guy in his 20s or 30s sitting next to me with his girlfriend or whoever at the other sit. The guy was like looking at the little boy and then he spoke:"Hey little man, want a sit?" [The boy appeared stunned.] Then the man said "Your pants are very high." And the boy smiled a cute little boyish smile. But you could tell he felt kind of embarrassed. But the man didn't sound harsh though. Anyway, the boy then began to pull his pants down but it was kind of hard because he act as though he didn't want people to see what he was doing so he pulled it down bit by bit. And in all, the pants almost didn't move. During the whole thing, the boy was standing in front of me [I was seated] and so could see clearly what he was doing. And I realised that ever since the government had this Total Defence exhibition at Suntec City which also showcased the game they had on Neopets, the game popularity increased from 1000+ a day to 2000+!!! There's a new post down there by the way.
::Roadrun::
Today my school had it's annual road run. And I was almost late again!!!!! Well actually by the time I woke up I was already late, only that I wasn't late for the run. I couldn't hear the alarm ring at 0530 and ended up waking up stunned at 0730. The run was supposed to start at 0815!! This is the second time this year that this has happened. The last time was during the newspaper collection day on Sunday and I couldn't get myself to wake up as well. Thank goodness I made it in time for the run!!! I did okay, at least I improved in my timing. Ran 3.6km in 19:18. I usually ran 2.9/3.0 in 19:45 or 20:++. We wanted to sneak away from the prize presentation ceremony. Some were quite worried about getting spotted and felt bad about leaving half way. But we came, we ran and we ran back, so what more do they want? So we did leave and I reached home at around 1025, in time for Pokemon. Have been screwing up my tests since day one this year. Have not yet passed anything up till now. Yesterday's chemistry test was terrible. I couldn't do the whole second question, which means 10 marks gone. But most people were not able to do that question as well. Perhaps only Chinese is doing fine for me this year. I actually got 84 for the mock assessment!!!! It's excluding composition of course. But I got an A for the last composition I wrote as well. Seriously, I have not been getting this sort of grades for my mother tongue since primary school!! I only hope that my 'AO' levels for Chinese will get a B4. According to my calculations, it would be rather hard for me to attain that goal. But I really want to drop Chinese and move on!!! Physics SPA is on next Monday and PLEASE LET ME DO REALLY WELL!!! It's my final chance. My friend got her CO shirt today. Actually she asked me if I wanted her to take it for me. But when she called this morning, I was still sleeping!!!! So she couldn't collect it for me in the end. But it's okay. Since I brought it upon myself. Will just collect the shirt on Tuesday. Speaking about CO, I spent the whole Wednesday afternoon in the CO room doing nothing except studying for the Chemistry test on Friday and doing my Math homework. WOW!!! And my 2 girl friends did not turn up, leaving me with all the other guys and my SL. Urgh. How could they just leave me alone? But it did not end up too bad. Was quite entertained by my juniors and their childishness.

::migrains::
I lost my water bottle!!!! I can't remember where did I put it already. It's kind of sad. And I don't have any bottle to use any more. Gave the chocolates to almost all the girls in class today. Maybe I will give the other girl her's tomorrow. Hopefully she will appreciate it, though she look as though she's not the kind to be thankful to what I give. Bleah. On second thought, I better not. I believe the Math test today was a total screw up. I figured that there would be so much carelessness, or at least, enough to fail me. The essay that I wrote during GP was horrendus as well. I didn't know what the hell was I writing half the time. And my conclusion was really weak and lame and oh so cliche. Crap. And some sentences are terribly informal and poorly written. My vocabulary is so weak that I kept repeating the same words. And I don't even know if I am grammatically sound or not. Maybe I should get a copy of M's '1100 words that you should know'. I wonder if any of you out there think that kids [especially babies] are overly dressed up nowadays? They wear designer clothes, carry expensive toys and eat fine baby food. Somehow I feel that they seem to have become objects. Objects that people use to show off to others. To flaunt their wealth. I mean, they seem to have become ornaments, all pretty and dolled up. What the hell are their parents thinking anyway? I think the stupid excuse of giving the best to the kids are no longer valid. It's kind of lame. It's a natural instinct for parents to care for their children and that should not be used as some reason or anything. Of course some sicko people who abuse their kids do exist, and I seriously hope that they get banished to the depths of hell. Finally I have to say that the Mamil Grow advertisment is so exaggerated, it's kind of fake and dumb.

::Valentine's Day::
Which is today. Was quite terrible because when I was going to school, I saw everyone wearing jeans and I thought that boardshorts were not allowed. I was really very worried as usual, thinking too much about things. Luckily, it was not the case. Nobody cared much about what you wore. Received quite a lot of stuff from the girls and some nicer guys in the class, who gave everyone something. Actually I felt rather bad because I didn't bring my stuff for them. Ha. Did Chemistry practical. The teacher was informing us on how expensive the particular chemical [methyl benzoate] was, about $1000+ for a small little bottle. So no wastage she repeated again and again. And the people were like saying if you spilt something, you will need to lick it up. Anyway, that's not the point. Was sort of ostracized [os·tra·cize (ŏs'tra-sīz') tr.v., -cized, -ciz·ing, -ciz·es. To exclude from a group.] by the others [we had to work in a group because of the expensive nature of the chemical]. I wonder why people seem to fear me. Do I emit some sort of scary aura? [Yeah. Maybe I do. Maybe they imagine me as some sort of parang carrying mad woman who go around chopping people's heads off their necks.] Anyway, we tried really very very very hard to get some white precipitate to appear. This particular fellow in my group even broke the glass rod while trying to scratch the inner surfaces of the conical flask to induce crytallisation. So finally at the end of the period we suddenly got a lot [I really mean a lot] of white ppt. It just kept appearing and appearing. But the teacher told us to throw it away since there was no more time. We were the only group among the 3 to get something. So I thought that was a great deal already. PE was really a torture for me today. Although I have been running the same route for many times now, today abnormally terrible. After 100m, I had already developed an extremely painful stitch [not sure about the spelling]. It really dragged me down a lot because it was so painful. I kept running and when I reached the end, I felt really sick. Urgh. Must be the Snickers that I ate during Physics. I was wondering whether anyone realised that I have not blogged for an extremely long time already. Almost thought I was going to abandon my blog. Anyway, I am back at playing Neopets. I realised that there's this Total Defence game in it. And I was really shocked. I mean, the Singapore Total Defence thing? They really went really far to make us patriotic to the country. I have a screenshot of it.
And it's one of the better games because you can earn quite a bit. And I was very late for tuition on Saturday. Overslept and reached the centre 1h30min later. Anyway, I am going to end this now. Happy Valentine's! Google has made this really cool logo for today.

::sentosa!::
Finally went to Sentosa today!! Yay! We spent most of our time at the beaches. I must say that they have improved a lot over the past year. Now the beaches look cleaner and classier, if you get what I mean. Took lots of pictures as well. But there seems to be something wrong with Gmail now so I cannot send the pictures to M and kyl as yet. I realised that most people wear bikinis and boardshorts. And they will play volleyball.

::back up::
Today was fun yet not fun. Ok, I mean yesterday since is Saturday during the time of writing. We had the Chinese New Year carnival today. ... No more mood to type anymore. Feel more like talking instead. Anyway, it was really funny and stupid, the things I did. Finally the conductor said that the percussion section was okay after the performance. Phew. I cleared it! Saw my MJ friend today. Almost missed her if another friend had not told me about her being in my school for the carnival. I nearly couldn't recognise her already! I suppose is the hairband and specs. She's not wearing her spectacles and her hair band was lime green, which made me think that it could not be her. She had been a great friend when I was in MJ. Still remembered the time when we went to Clarke Quay with the then MMC people. Had a lot of fun chatting and we really enjoyed ourselves. Pity we are no longer in the same school. And to kyl. Sorry for my lack of vocabulary. I hope you would understand what I mean. Forget the dumb thing I did today ok?

::palm trees::
Today I repeated the Chemistry experiment on Monday about making esters. Today's practical would be so much more successful if the stupid filter paper did not have a hole at the final filtration. Apparantly the hole was so small we did not notice it until we saw a cloudy filtrate. So we lost most of the yield through repeated filtration and I did not dry the ester up properly. As least it glimmered a bit like a crystal. I was so obsessed about the white coloured stuff I kept fingering it throughout the whole of Chinese where we watched the movie, A World Without Theives. It was quite arty. Didn't expect it to be like that. But the theives have skills that are way to fake. Too CG. Went to CO for nothing today. After walking around for one hour, we were told to leave. Stupid isn't it? Such a waste of time. Went to Parkway with a friend to buy a red shirt for tomorrow. In the end she also got a shirt, a black one. And I really should get a black shirt as well since I don't have any. Tomorrow's the carnival. Hopefully I will perform well. And I still want to redo my ester experiment. I don't understand why Fiona keep saying that my ester is of inferior quality and hers is of high quality. We were arguing over that for quite some time actually.
