::trans fats::
Saw this quiz in kyl's blog and decided to try it. I didn't really expect the result to be like that. I can't possibly be that terrible.
Your element is Water. You have a calm aura around
you and are in tune with the world around. You
observe it but rarely interfere. Because of
your shy and timid nature you will not have so
many friends in your life. But then again,
large crowds aren't your thing anyway. You are
comfortable on your own and are reserved to
others who you don't know or know very little
of. You know everyone out there does not want
to be your friend, and knowing that is good.
However, people who don't know you that well
thinks that you are cold and distant since you
don't want to talk to them. Although you mean
no harm, you can't always be perfectly
understood in the world. No one can. Life in
general are you quite serene with even if there
are some things you don't like. Your love-life
is not so full of boys/girls, but if you
flirted more with the ones you were interested
in I'm sure something would happen. The hobbies
you choose are calmer ones, you are no party
girl that likes to drink and make-out with
three or more guys/girls in one night. Reading
a book or swimming is more your thing.
"You know everyone out there does not want to be your friend, and knowing that is good." What the??? I can be pessimistic sometimes, but surely I am not such a recluse as this
thing describes me to be!
Well anyway, I ate a lot of junk food today. I am such a pig. Let's make a list:
1. 1 medium fries
2. 1 ice cream
3. 1 McChicken EVM [which includes 1 medium fries, 1 regular coke and the burger]
That is a lot of food!! I can feel the fats in me. So disgusting. I am reminded of food chemistry and the stuff about lipids and fats. Yuck.

CO concert just started and ended a few hours ago. I like the feeling of being able to perform on stage. Sure, it's hard work and I grumble a lot about it, but in the end, it pays off. Percussion rules!!! We sure are the coolest and most charismatic among all the other sections!! But the end of the concert also marks the end of my time in CO. Like what I mentioned in my previous post, it's rather sad because I will be missing all my pals and juniors. This is my first and last concert. I will probably never join any performing arts groups anymore.
And sometimes I really think that I am rather hopeless. Why didn't I just grab that chance and do something worthwhile?

::carelessness::
Where in the world are my scores??? Where's my bottle? The concert is just tomorrow and all my scores are missing!!! What the????
Anyway, today I had my last CO practise. To be frank, I would miss the times spent in CO. And I would not be able to see my moronic juniors and those J2 friends. I would miss them a lot!! Really.
Really.

Watched the documentary, Exodus Earth today. COOL!! Totally!! I felt that my perception on space travel changed quite a bit. It's not about Physics only, it's also about Biology. It's not about the limits of Science, it's about whether humans are willing to do it.
Anyway, I also just realised that The Sims 2 is going to have another expansion pack! It's called Nightlife. Please do not disappoint me!

::bleah::
I was just hoping that today would be a good day.
It all started with an innocent wanting to find an air- conditioned classroom where we could study Physics as we would be having our test later. There was this class with the fans and lights on. We thought there were people inside, but we had to make sure, so we peeked a little. No one. So I walked to the front door, gripped the handle and opened the door. As I tried to remove my hand from the handle, I noticed the wad of chewing gum stuck on my fingers. EWWWWWWWW!! I pulled my hand away and being sticky the chewing gum extended to form a long thread like thing and ya, you can imagine it. I was screaming and jerking my hand up and down to get rid of it, but it didn't work. My friends started laughing hysterically and finally one of them gained enough sense to pass me a piece of tissue, which was greatly appreciated [thank you]. We were wondering if that sickening prankster stuck the gum on the wrong door. Shouldn't it be at the DM's door instead of that class? Anyway, my friend concluded that the person who did it must have left the lights and fans on on purpose so that someone [most likely the DM or OM] would go into the room to turn it off, at the same time getting the gum stuck on his fingers. CURSE them!!!!! What luck.
On our way from the toilet, we tried to open another door, which was next to the toilet. It was locked. Two periods later, we came back to the same toilet. When we left, my 2 other friends ran ahead of me, and I decided to try the door. To my great amusment, it wasn't locked anymore!!
Imagine my excitment!! So I shouted "Hey! The door is not locked leh!!" But then, my other friend who was beside me said "Er, there's people inside you know?" At that time, I suddenly heard people talking. Oops. So I quickly slammed the door and ran away. That was immensely dumb.
Some idiot [I still have not figured out who] hid my shoes when I was inside CO room practising. I couldn't find it after CO was over. Damn it. Turns out he/she put up it on the [whatdoucallthat] shutter like thing that you can find on some corridors. It's so high up, I can't reach it. And when I finally them down, the guys took one of them and placed it real high up again. So it starts again. The screaming and begging game of asking them to stop their childish actions and get it down for me. Finally one of them took it down for me [cos he didn't know what they were doing]. So ends it.
Then we tried to lock on of the guys in the toilet. But he was too strong for us [or were we too weak?]
AND one last thing. Who likes people to always tell them secrets? Would it be a sort of burden to them? I mean, ya, if people tell you some stuff that they don't want others to it, it's sort of like "oh, you are the priviledged one" but.. I don't know. Just thinking about it.

::new layout!!::
It's amazing that I managed to stick to my previous layout for so long. But I finally decided that it's time for a change. Not too bad isn't it?

::disgusted::
There was this discipline talk about our attire and behaviour a few days ago. Here's what the school feels that we should not to:
1. No touching
2. No hugging
3. No piggy- backing
4. No leaning
5. No necking [Now what's that? My friend refused to tell me.]
6. No sitting on each other's laps.
There are still many others, but these are the few that I remembered. Some of them seriously look stupid.
And we won the basketball match against HCI!!! WAHAHAHAHA!! And the MVP [he's J1] was from our school!!! Wow! It's been 20 years since there were overall champion. I can't help but think of the actions that the players did during the game, how they fouled and all. There were moments when 2 to 3 guys were sprawled on the floor, snatching for the ball! I though only girls did that. And there's another one when this HC player sort of 'hugged' our player from the back to restrain him. Man, that's one desperate action. The match was really exciting because the scores were really close, only 1 to 5 scores apart each time. Sometimes we were leading, other times it was them. It kept switching. A close fight. There were some actions that those HC people did that really pissed me off. When we were having our free throw, they would be making a whole lot of noise to distract our player. We kept quiet at first for them but after what they did, we started cheeering and making a whole lot of noise as well. Not only that, there were 2 particular spastic HC kiddos that tried to distract our player when he was trying to concentrate for the free throw. They were standing in direct line of sight of the player and they were waving their hands to distract him. When the ball didn't get in, they did a high five. My gosh! Isn't HCI supposed to be a really good school where the poeple are all cultured and refined? Even their coach looked like the impatient sort. He appeared to be always frustrated at his players even when they were leading [marginally]. Our players did foul, but at least we don't resort to those cheapo means to try to win the game. Anyway their basketball girls won the overall champion. Other than that, I think I cheered too much. After the whole thing my head was throbbing, my throat was burning and my ears were almost deaf.
Well, maybe I was biased in the account up there, but I can voach that what I described really happened, except that the view wasn't exactly balanced. I can't help it.
After the match, we went to have dinner at Mac until 6.30pm, and CO was supposed to start at 5.30pm. We were extremely late; reached school only at 7.45pm. It was kind of like we were going to school when everyone else was leaving. I didn't dare to step into the CO room after a friend told me that there were only 2 persons in the percussion section. I was kind of shocked because my junior told me that they will be going for the practise. So when I heard that they were not there, I felt worried and cheated. Of course they came in the end, but since I was so late, I missed my entire part and it's been months since I practised it. Anyway, the stupid conductor tried to accuse us indirectly for something we didn't do.
He said:" I see so many of you sitting down doing nothing, and now you are telling me that there are not enough people there to play those parts?" "You can't say that the people playing aren't there for every part that nobody is playing now." So what do you think he's implying? There were only us sitting on the floor and he's trying to say that we are slacking instead of practising. Like HELLO!! My part was over long ago and my 2 friends aren't involved in this piece! Whatever. Anyway I came to a conclusion after the SYF that I hated him for all things he said and did.

::B E B R A V E::
Things are finally beginning to look good for me in CO after slacking for so long. I know it's too late now since I am "retiring" a few more practises later, but it's better than never. My percussion instructor commented that I have shown great improvement from last time and I am more hardworking now. That's great isn't it? I feel happy for myself because such compliments are hard to come by.
I seem to have reached a high level of 'spastic-ness'. This could offend people out there who know of others who really are spastic, but don't take it too seriously here okay? Anyway, I stayed back in school for awhile today to do my Math with some friends. They were discussing how retarded and slow I am and comparing me with another girl's friend, whom she calls Spas because she is, apparantly, super spastic. They seem to feel that my level has far surpassed Spas's, so they were thinking of new names to call me. There were Spasser, Spassy, Tic, Tickie, Tickest, Ticker, Tic-tac-toe, Toe-tac-tic, all being derivatives of the word 'Spastic'. This is really quite sad as I have never been called that until now. Nicknames are good for the fun of it, but they somehow make people forget what's your real name. Or at least that is how I feel about certain people.
And I still have not watch Kingdom of Heaven. Chances are that I will never get to watch it in the Cinemas anymore because I am so darn busy and I can't bare to part with my money. Why in the world did they want to raise the price of the movie tickets? Are they seriously not earning enough? Seriously, I think that those cineplexes are already earning super, supernormal profits. Darn them!! Can't they just spare a thought for the consumers?
Was reading "The Best Ghost Stories" by various authors yesterday night. That's the thing about English ghost stories. They never get too scary, are so full of bombastic vocabulary and confusing language. I tend to read too quickly and miss certain parts, some of which are quite crucial to the plot, as told by my friend as I was asking her about certain parts in the book that I couldn't understand because it did not seem to make sense as I had been skipping chucks of words. But I like the suspense and brainwork that goes into it. The authors put forward some difficult theory about things that makes you ponder. I didn't get to finish it as I returned it to my friend today.
Now my toilet bowl is choked because of the toilet paper that I threw inside. Damn it.

::B E S T R O N G::
Slept at around 2am this morning. Many things kept me awake. For example, Fiona was bugging me on MSN [thank goodness she'll never see this]. Wahahaha! Ok, maybe I should be more serious. I was thinking about quite a lot of stuff. About religion [yah, it took quite a bit of thought], certain people and when I am going to watch Star Wars and Kingdom of Heaven. The bloody flush was faulty and I had to manually wash the gross stuff down using a bucket of water.
I just saw the TA advertisment on TV Mobile yesterday night. I would say that it certainly looked more appealing than NJ's IP advert.
I still have 6 more CO practises before I am officially out of the orchestra. It's kind of sad that my time in CO is ending soon.
Didn't really do much work today. Spent the whole afternoon reading my National Geographic when I could have completed my Sampling tutorial.
And there are new zits on my nose. What goes around really comes around. Shouldn't have poked fun at my tutor's pimple.
Well, my CO ticket sales are finally finalised. Managed to sell everything. Hopefully I don't need to sell more, but I hope more friends could go. The tutor said that all my close friends are only at the stage of 'serious consideration'. WTH. At least M and kyl are going.
Now my Father is trying to fix the flush. He's been at it for almost the whole day.

::powder snow::
Suddenly I feel extremely bored. Did not want to go to sleep even though I have to wake up early tomorrow.
Mentoring yesterday was pretty fun. I am amazed at how the kids can play "Blow Wind Blow" for more than 30 minutes without feeling bored. I only started playing with them 15 minutes later when my friend urged me to. But apparantly I have not outgrown it because I was one of those that contributed to most of the noise in the classroom. It's just natural that I will scream when playing such games.
Thinking of CO makes me lose my appetite, so I ended up drinking a packet of milo and eating a cup of mashed potatoes for lunch. The mashed potatoes [as dispensed by the machine] tasted terrible. It was extremely salty and it gave me headaches. Ok, it was actually the sauce that couldn't make it. The potatoes were still okay. But I still can't help but feel disgusted whenever I am reminded that all these were made from powder and water.
And indeed, there was CO again today. We were having sectionals and the percussion instructor came. The warm-up part was quite ok, except that I couldn't grip the sticks tight enough and they kept threatening to fly out of my hands. The instructor said that he could tell that I had practised. Which is true! Certain unhappy things happened, but it's okay, I believe I will be able to get it right the next time. Anyway, when I was trying to stuff my score into my bag [which was on the floor=had to squat down], my friends started kicking me!!! My gosh! One of them used her foot and the other, being nicer, used her knee. I couldn't even stand up and I fell on my butt. That was the dumbest thing that ever happened to me in CO. But it's fine. I am in a good mood today.
Tuition started late despite the tutor asking us to come 1h30min earlier for the lesson. We ended on time today, but I stayed on with M to do some math problems with the tutor. Apparantly, I have a rather squarish brain that couldn't think really well, which is actually quite sad. I am a left hander, so my right brain should be more powerful. But apparantly, it is not. SIGH. But I was rather hyper today.
...
Thank you. You are just amazing.

Could be due to too much Food Chem or because I was just trying to be lame.
Anyway, CO finally resumed for me after 2 to 3 months of slacking. But my time in there now is also quite boring. I spend most of the time stoning and waiting for my part to come. When it's my part, my face will be contorted and I will start fidgeting. I will look distraught and extremely stressed. That's why those people in percussion always tend to laugh at me when it's my turn and I'll just start grumbling. Today wasn't too bad in all. At least I managed to get most of the parts right.
Finally I am free from all the homework and stuff. No more tests until next week and no more homework to be completed this week, except maybe for Chemistry, if I feel like doing it. Which is good because this means more time for me to do other stuff that I have not been able do complete for a very long time, for example, finish Harry Potter and The Order of The Pheonix.
And did I say that I am now disfigured? Thanks to someone, there's now a cut on my face. It looks as though it is bleeding. Been there since yesterday morning after trying to duck her flying rubber bands and in doing so, cut my face against the file in my bag. It sounds rather dumb but it hurt quite a bit.

Now there are 6 people who know. Hopefully the head count doesn't increase anymore. But then again, this is nothing that has happened before! Interesting.
Anyway, it's finally raining. Can't remember if it rained yesterday. I only remember hearing something about some thunderstorm all over the island. But I don't remember it happening.
Watched my school's Chinese Cultural Club performance yesterday. I must say that they put up a good show! There's this particular student that can act astonishingly and convincingly well.
It's a boring life that I am leading. After this, I will have to do my Math and Chemistry tutorials. And today's Mother's Day. But I am lazy to go to my grandmother's house that is so far away.
And just look at my paragraphing. It's not even a paragraph. The GP teacher says that we must begin each paragraph with a topic sentence (TS). And what is TS? TS= Topic sentence + new main point. Wow! I am amazed that I can actually remember. This reminds me of something that happened yesterday. Liar! But I am so proud of myself. I can actually guess rightly!
I didn't know that my school forum has so many members that are not even from TJC. I wonder how did they find out about the existence of the school forum. Members include prolific writer, appreciated lecturer, some mournful adults, weirdos and of course students. I guess the word weirdos refer to the 2 persons in my class. Saw one of them in the forum yesterday. I was so immensely disgusted that I immediately logged out. I didn't even want to move my mouse pointer over the username for fear of contamination.
And no one from CO announced what we got for SYF. I know it's nothing that calls for a celebration, but at least we shouldn't behave like sore losers. But I can't help being one. And I can't help feeling so upset whenever I am reminded of it. And there's no publicity for the CO concert as well.
Let me show off my new signature here:
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am so proud of it!! I just love Spiderman!!!
P.S: Don't worry too much about Cloud. There's a super cute new image that I found yesterday and I am going to make a new signature featuring him.

Let's review the mood that I have in the past few days:
Tuesday: Excited, happy then devastated and crushed.
Wednesday: Pretty much moody and upset. Emotional imbalance.
Today: Not that upset anymore, but whenever I am reminded of I, I feel terrible.
Some people may think that we should be satisfied with what we have already, but then, that wasn't what we wanted!! We deserve better.
And damn some irritating people. You know who you are.
But anyway, I just made a new signature!! Using it in the forums now. Guess guess guess who's the featured person!! WAHAHAHAHA!!
