"Procrastination is an excuse", a text from the school said.

Really? Then the sender has been making excuses too. Why won't people here just accept that procrastination is human nature? That it's inevitable? That it isn't all bad? That working wholly for results, without a speck of any form of distraction is neither possible, nor perfect?

Results, results, results. That's all the adults care about and preach about now. Because they know and have accepted that this world is nothing more than superficial. Saying that people look at your character, morals, whatever is just the most ironic thing they do in schools. Cos all they care about at the end of the day is just your results, that it makes the school look better--academically.
Of course, I stand to be corrected. I'm not the one running the school after all.

I read this article about Serendipity, and it isn't exactly procrastination, but it tends to be what people lump together with the latter. So if I read on the history of slavery (not coming out in any part of A's as of now), but in the process putting my SEA history essay aside, is it all bad? I still gain in knowledge don't I? Isn't that the purpose of education? So why so particular with that one-track mind that I should only let my life revolve around the subjects I'd be tested for?

Really, this society is driving me nuts. Maybe when I grow up I'd look back at this and laugh. Maybe. But for now, I'd stick close to this. Heck results, seriously. And teachers who preach that procrastination is an excuse. It hardly fits, even in terms of use of english.

I just had a random spark this afternoon.
I think I wanna take up Linguistics and Multilingual Studies if I get into a uni. But sadly, only NTU offers that as a major, I think.
And even more sadly, it's in the west of SG. I stay all the way at the other end.
Good for the stinkingly fortunate science kids. (And perhaps the poly kids too, but definitely not JC arts kids). They've got the 4th uni to go to. The other 3 are all like freaking far.

And I'm soo not looking forward to tomorrow. Always hated first weeks of school since upper sec cos of the barely-touched hw pile. -.-
See if I make it alive by friday or not.

Labels: ranternobanter, schooly mooly

Ahh, today, was rather eventful.

First, (not-so-eventful), was class phototaking. The two most 'outstanding' (not sarcasm, but outstanding in an.. unconventional way) guys in the class totally missed it. And the phototaking was so informal I didn't know it was even phototaking at all. I thought for fun one, before the real thing. -.-

Then the class went to Hougang mall for Subway, and I got scammed. Paid like a dollar fifty extra cos of some order screwup. But heck lah.

Okay now here's the more juicy part.
We were taking the bus back from school, and the bunch of us were just standing at the bus' standing area with my back facing the aisle. Suddenly this old man came up and stepped on my calf and sat back to his seat, laughing and talking hysterically. In english, yes, but half of it sounded like total gibberish. I could pick up "chicken leg", "so cute", a gazillion hysterical laughs that go literally like HOHOHO, and erm, idk. So freaky lah. And he was being that way the entire trip.

I felt traumatized at first, then when I suddenly remembered 'chicken leg' I started giggling uncontrollably. Idk why, sounds amusing lol. Bijal was laughing too. And my giggling made Rebekah laugh. I think he wanted to say nice calf muscles on your leg. HA. Kidding.

When we were alighting opposite the school, he said "Why so fast go back uh? (more gibberish) I massage your leg (gibbergibber)" Scary yet amusing, seriously. Reuben then went to tell him "Can you shut up?", which made the old man flare up with more gibberish.

Well, this incident occupied us the entire walk back to school and a bit in LT5 where we had the P's rally. KJ said he was a bomoh (HAHAHA) and i-forgot-who said he was talking to another man in front of him, wearing the same black specs, so maybe they were posessed by the specs (triple HAHAHAHA).

What the hell. I attract all kinds of unwanted personalities. From train/bus fare-asking people (LOTS) to weird old men. EEEEE.

Random: The Reuben Theory suggests that people with moles in their eyebrow will become famous. I have one in my right brow eh. LOL.


That's kind of it already. Last one is that I went to Tangs after the rally to buy MY FRED PERRY SHOESSSSSSS!!! :DDD
Finallyyyyy. I remember I first fell in love with the FP logo (I know, so weird right) when I was in sec school. Ahh, gratification. (:

Ugh.
I still can't study.
I wonder how people can sit there for hours and be so focused. I've only covered plate tec so far. Outta like what, how many books? 24?
Yes, MYE is in 2 days. And schools just like torturing arts students by lumping two papers in one day, with one paper being 3 hours long, and pushing all the papers in front cos apparently our scripts take bloddy damn long to mark. 3 hours of non-stop writing. I'd rather get a headache from a 1h15min physics paper. Why, why did I take arts? WHY.

I still still still can't stop procrastinating! Is it in my genetic makeup or something?

Early release from school again. And I hate the hassle of getting BOTH CT and year head to sign. You know how hard it is sometimes to find them? Don't get what's the big deal anyway. That's the thing with this school. Every damn thing is fussed upon. We're 17 and older. Trust our maturity please.

Anyway it was pretty funny when Mr Tian thought I was crying. LOL cos I couldn't find any HOD to sign the form and asked for his help to call any HOD he knows of that's free atm. So he did, and told the HOD I was crying, and when she came, she was like, Chey early release form only why must cry! I was like huh? I got flu! HAHA epic.

Flu bug, please go away. I hear coughs in almost every class and lecture. Ugh.

Spamming chocolates from my birthday. Yeap, haven't finished them. All the sweets and chocs and lollipops. Ahh, I scared I become diabetic uh.

Lotsa stuff have happened and I haven't got down to real blogging and the result is that I've forgotten everything already. Nothing much for the past week though, start of the routinist school term. Been going home late everyday chiong-ing my holiday hw and no, I haven't cleared them. That's how much there is. Kay, I'm very naggy.

6Jan, Marina Barrage
with Jessica, Vanessa, ChunWei, Junqiang, Wanru, Yuanlin and Ona!
The sun was crazily sadistic and gave us all really bad sunburns. HAHA but better than rain! And there's no ODACian scared of the sun right?! :D

Flew kites for the first time in my life, not much success but it's alright cos it was awesome fun. Picnic-ed for a quite a while, camwhored, then yuanlin and ona came with icecreams so the rest of us decided to go get them too.

We went for daaaamn long. HAHHAA cos we were looking for the shop, but started exploring the gallery instead and camwhored hundreds of pics. Wanru's camera damn spammed, go see Fb haha. Fiiinally was done, and got our icecreams. They got high singing paddlepop. LOL. Camwhored even more when we got back, flew kites again, then vanessa and I left. And I'm lazy to upload pics lah. :P

7-9Jan, OGL camp.
Was damn unwilling to go at first cos we had to reach there before 7am, and cos I had not much enthusiasm left as I mentioned before.

But it all turned out better than expected, although it rained on the first day and we were just playing orientation games which honestly suck quite a bit now that I'm no longer a freshman. Made a couple of friends from Pegasus and good news, by the end of the first day I regained lotsa new enthusiasm. HAHA ride on Pegasus!

Missed half of the second day so there wasn't much, then the last day was just showing our walk-in and learning the new college dance which is kinda cute. Lollipop by Mika's the song. I like. (: Learnt the college pioneer song too, and practised the college anthem for dno what. All went to macs to eat and make our Peggy identities then went out with toot.

Oh, thanks Joanna for the two nights, HAHA.

p/s I shall not blog about my own normal days out, haha might be too boring for you the otherpeople.

11Jan, Start of school.
Was a yucky first day cos I hadn't completed a single holiday assignment. Haha, serious. And the teachers were just grounding rules, expectations and that we're having a sucky first day cos we're already in J2, our A level year and stuff. Wasn't that draggy though, cos intros helped kill lesson time. Got new lockers, and mine's right at the bottomright of the column. Sucks, got to squat down everytime I open it.

Can't remember anything else, on 12th Jan too.

13Jan, Outdoor PE!
Was awesomeeeee. Mainly cos there're no lessons but besides that, it was kinda fun. I had to face my biggest fear on the first station already. Biking. And everyone expected me to be good at cycling cos I'm in ODAC and we did night cycling and all that, but nooo, I suck. Eh but I won in the end! :D So proud.

Second station was quite.. screwed up. A2 damn cunning. No actually I believe it was their CT, not them, who came up with such a devilish plan that we started screaming CHEAT at them. And we had to vs them for the third station too. Oh well, no grudges anyway.

Last station was kite-making! Could offer help cos of my experience at marina barrage hahaa. Failed anyway though. But who cares it was fun. Class lunch at KFC, then went home with toot.

15Jan, Art museum with ODAC.
Looked at really cool art pieces but didn't have much time to look at everything in detail. Made sculptures! My group one cutest can. Cos my idea. HAHAHA I'm big-skinned. Better than someone who made balls on his sculpture. -.- Somemore say cos 'ODAC is not for the faint-hearted'. HAHAHA damn toot.

Went to eat at BK, finally got my turkay bacon burger again. But their bacon downsize alot. ):
Had company all the way home. (:

I'm bored and in a severe bout of procrastination.

My I&R was due 6 hours ago and I haven't started on it. I think it's the post-major-exam syndrome. It's like you've studied like you never had before and when it's all over, you just wanna lie there and be a pig and not do anymore work.

And I was supposed to
a) Go rollerblading with Des and the class
b) Slack with J cos it's her last exam day
c) Play bball with thickness and jialat.

But noooo, I'm sitting here, stuck in front of a computer screen and forced to sit here till I do my bloddy darn I&R.

AHHH.
No one likes PW!


So, I shan't do it now, and post overlyoverdue pics from my mac!
Oh, I'm using my PC, not my mac and about me creating Tumblr and not updating this one anymore, I decided against it. I'm too lazy to be looking after two babies, cos even if I switch to Tumblr I won't be ditching this one anyway.

So yeah, BLOGSPOT IT SHALL BE!
I'll just grin and bear it and blog with only my PC till blogger upgrades after maybe a mac-users protest. But I doubt that would happen.

Kay, here goes!

Dewaine and I 'studying' at the airport's tcc.


J and I imitating the conjoined twins :D

Labels: schooly mooly

YEAH PROMOS OVER!!

But like I have written on my weekly schedule book,

NOTE: Your PW teacher won't let you celebrate. Do your I&R.

Spoilerrrr.

Oh well, there're other happy things!
Like Children's Day!!
Two people wished me and only me okay. (:

And when I went to TM with Joanna and Amanda, the TM people were giving out free popcorn to all children. This woman just popped out of nowhere and stuffed two in my arms. Wow, I look doubly much like a kid? Oh and the funny thing was that she didn't give J any, cos she was soooo tall.
:D
I love being a kid. Don't ever ask me to grow up.


Aight so, the past two weeks have been more than hellish, way waaay more, such that the dictionary holds no word obscene enough for it. Tampines library has been my second home, besides school. It reignited my passion for reading, which I happened to lose like since my primary school days or something.

Been eating at Tamps everyday too!
Like this,


HAHA okay, as part of my procrastination, I took some pics. And only these.

Stack of geog books. Impressive notxzxz?

Labels: schooly mooly

Two more essay papers to the END OF PROMOS!
Oh blimey!

Been mugging non-stop from last wednesday till this wednesday. I swear those days were the most tedious days of my life. History, Geog, Econs, Maths, they all are major energy-sappers man.
Sleepover at Joanna's on thursday after one day of slacking at TM, and sorry thickness, I totally forgot about our overnight studying session.. Tried studying geog again yesterday at hoong's but fell asleep. -.-

Okay maybe cos I crashed one subject in one day. Try term 1 to term 3's worth of maths crammed into one day.

Did really terribly obviously, so the only thing I can do right now is pray for a miracle.
I mean, I studied 10% of what I'm doing now during my O's, and I still managed to come to a JC.


Another miracle pleeeeaaasee?

Oh and I bit my tongue again. Bled again. I think my tongue too long, seriously.

Happy belated sweeter-than-sweet-sixteenth seventeenth birthday
Desiree!

HAHA finally got the time to blog. :D
Went to Secret Recipe yesterday cos the birthday girl decided to pon school on her birthday. Vanessa was the 'surprise', haha. I had to lie how many times yesterday uh, desiree? Keep asking if only us two. LOL.

Ate Frolick yoghurt then Des and Vanessa went home, while Joanna and I went to study at Tampines library.

I spent almost half an hour choosing three books related to history then started reading them.
Yay for dorky me! :D

Ahha, so happy I'm finally studying after like two years plus. I'm working harder, waaay harder than I did for my O's. Unbelievable.

Ate at the T1 food court with J, chatted loads, then bubbletea then parted ways.

Labels: schooly mooly

Yay, pictures finally!
Cos it's a saturday and I'm quite pissed by something and shall protest by not doing homework which would only make me feel a gazillion times worse.
I don't care if that sounds childish.


Right so, pictures and their stories!

Dewaine came over on thursday!
HAHA we practically ran to each other and hugged like some in those cheesy movie scenes. Missed her super badly! She brought Bear along and we went to get bubble tea and caught up with each other then decided to eat at blk85 for dinner.

Talked more, then went home. We only took two pics uh. (:

I think it was wednesday, went to play soccer after school till the sky was this dark (gonna rain again!)
Pushups after missing the goal HAHA. I managed to shoot two in! Missed the rest though.

Ah Ben!


This is..random.
Ah Ben already digging in.The reason why I take so long eating pasta is cos I do this:

Labels: schooly mooly, SR ODAC

I totally forgot what I wanted to say. Again.


Random start then.

Been injuring my muscles pretty often lately. Quite stupidly also. Ahh, superficial or otherwise wounds are like an everyday thing anyway.


I miss dance!
Didn't appreciate it at all in sec1 and 2. Today, I was sitting there, watching the people dance, and me pouting away.
So I gave in after like 20mins, HAHA.
Made my muscle pull which was almost recovering already even worse. Meh. Tomorrow got Bukit Timah hike somemore.

That reminds me; I've been busy 24/6.
Saturdays are no longer my luxury man. Monday to Friday = kill brain cells in school (but alternate days also got PE and ODAC), then Saturday= muscle-making day.
Then Monday to Friday also = muscle-aching days.

Sunday is sleep-in day, of course. But that said, it's only sometimes.
Who was the bastard who invented homework?


Received my third letter of reminder of the year. I'm screwing up damn a lot. Ah well.


Oh, I think I'm moving in to stay with Joanna!
COOL NOTXZXZXZXX?
And when I say stay, I really mean stay. Like eat, sleep, do work, poopy, stone, talk, uh, eat, yeah everything there! Maybe come home for weekends or something. :D
Not like I spend much time at home anyway. Come home to bathe, do work then sleep only. Worse than hostel. Time spent in school is seriously more than what's spent at home.


Can't remember anything else I wanted to say.
I know I had a burning desire to blog some stuff. But, alas, my brain is failing me.


Oh right,
sorry Chris, for makig you stay up till 1am waiting for my email, HAHA.

Since today's Thanksgiving day for SR, I shall blog. :D



Right so, pictures first, since we haven't had them in eons.
But pardon the horrible quality cos of my unintentional, uncountable smashes on the ground my phone has endured. 8mp become dno vhad. Kay, here goes.



PW lessons are awesome cos:


there're lotsa jokes and fooood! (that the other groups always like to kope until MrsT can't stand it.) Oh yeah and that's pingsee, blatantly munching away.



We went to the Japanese cemetery for Chinese!! Seriously man, we all thought TXD was pulling our legs, until I found out other classes were going too. Damn cool, cos the cemetery is pretty near our school.


Wasn't spooky at all though. Maybe cos we were in a group and it was in broad daylight.
But look:
Smokeyyyy. Spoooookkkkyyyyy..And banana treeeee...Nah, just some guy spraying insecticide or vhadever. HAHA.


Meh. Blur. Would otherwise be a rather pwetty picture.

MJ is still dominating the channels.

I don't mind that, actually, after watching them. I realised I listened to a lot of his songs when I was a kid but I never knew they were sung by him. How atrocious was I, HAHA. And his MVs are hilarious, some of them. He totally does egyptian and indian dance, sweeeeeet.



Anyway, sorry guys, if I've been a bit too obvious in my emo-ness.
Stress uh.
Studies and (some of)you-know-what.


Linda's birthday was yesterday, so the whole class (except a few) celebrated it at Pizza Hut. Pris and Rebekah went to buy the cake while we were waiting to be served, then popped up with it! We sang the birthday song as a class, and guess what man,
Pizza Hut's staff decided to play the birthday song for us. HAHAHA classic moment.

But we're so sweet aren't we? (:
My birthday every year is depressing. Like I said, the glamorous date is a mere facade, The day itself is a sad one. Until the next, hopefully.
But I'm sick of empty promises; people say they'll celebrate it for me but it's never done. Then again, until the next. Hopeful kiddo here. (:

I have a brief emo moment everytime we go celebrate someone's birthday. Jealous, I admit.



Okay, enough of that. I sound pathetic.


Speaking of pathetic, I digress again.
That day, Desiree and I decided to take the train. NE line was fine, it was till we switched to the EW line.
Traumatic.

At first it was crowded, but breathable. Then, at I-forgot-what-station, people started flowing in like a tsunami and desiree and I were pushed away from each other like the fish in the tsunami.
Sardines, if you wanna know what fish.

Ohmygawshh. The train was soooo full, that it delayed at two or three stations for more than half an hour.
Bloddy hell cos I'm claustrophobic. And I was literally gasping for air behind this man with slight BO. And mind you, it ain't that easy cos I'm vertically challenged as well.

Damn SMRT.
Damn the peak hours.
Damn the gahmen for trying to bring in MORE people to SG.


Back to yesterday, the day was really short. Ended at 12nn there was no more chinese and fridays are the shortest days of the week. (:

History lessons are starting to get disturbing. Cos of what MW says. This time was about me and Chris' hotdog pen. omg, freaky. But freakiest was still him describing me that day. Eww? I was stunned man. Like, seriously, stunned. Class would know why.


After school and after Linda's bday lunch, we went back to school to finish up geog before the 5pm deadline, then Des, ZL, Reuben, Niq and I went to Tampines1.
Ate at F.I.S.H. after much indecisiveness. Ambience was awesome but the food not so.. Overwhelming flavour fatigue. Maybe it was my throat infection that killed all my appetite but well, I suppose I'm not really looking forward to eating their fried mediterranean fish again.

Hanged around a bit, then Niq wanted to go to Toys R'Us and that's where the best part of the day took place.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA OHMYGAWSH, I HAFTA LAUGH WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT IT.
I shall wait for Des to send me the pic so I can better explain.
Funnyyyy ttm! All of us laughed so darn hard. Ahh, ZL is a joke man.



Okay, this post is wordy and so-not-entertaining.
I wanna blame it on the thing that's bugging my mind right now.
Sigh.
Back to emo-ness.
Bye.

Nawh, just being childish.

But I do have the symptoms. Runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever.
Then again, it could be throat infection. AGAIN. If it really is, then it's the fourth time since last year. Screw my tonsils.

So yeah, got sent home from school. Weird thermometer. Either that or weird me, to have such fluctuating temperatures. From 37.2 to 37.7 to 37.4 to 38.5 to 38.1degC.

Anyway, yesterday was school again, for LaoCai meeting.
Found out our groupings, but sorry YY and Jovan, I didn't manage to catch yours. I did manage to find out the people in Nic's though. COS HE'S IN MY GROUP, YAY. Someone I know, at least.

But the other people in my group are awesome too! 3 girls and 3 guys, including me. HAHA I got 2 girlfriends for the trip, yay. I don't know the other girl, though. She didn't come.


Aight, so, we played a couple of ice-breakers, and I spazzed a lot when it came to the Husband and Wife game. My reflexes too quick uh. Until I got mistaken for a touch rugger, LOL.

Then the bloddy concentration game. My brain has some kinda natural repulsion with numbers. So I lost like trice and had to do a forfeit. Had to ask a random guy in the school for his number, and make him write it on my hand.

Bloddy hell, I got my first rejection.
I had to go:
"Hi, I think you're cute, can I have your number?"
And he asked if I was serious. And he laughed. And his friends laughed. And THEN,
"Can I say no?"

I felt like swearing. Gawsshhh, first time ask people for number and get rejected! But anyway he scribbled a fake one in the end uh. And after asking, I realised he looked damn familiar. He was from soccer and I think he was the one who gave Nic and I the evilgrins in the bus that night.
Shit.
Soccer boy.
One soccer boy knows one thing, the whole team knows.
Oh my gawsshh, what thepoop did I get myself into?


Ahh but it was quite a funny experience. LOL.





Today was movie marathon at Jovan's house! Horror movies/ thrillers, to be exact. TEE HEE.
Pretty much a last-minute decision, so it was just YY, Jovan, VanT and I. Watched Cry Wolf, Halloween, and Dance of the Dead.

Cry Wolf got me a bit lost, but it was pretty cool. 3/5 stars. :D

Halloween was all gore, violence, a bit of sex (where YY and I hid under Jovan's tweety bird blanket cos we are innocent kiddos). Intriguing psychopath plot though. I remembered the ending man! Watched it when switching channels on cable tv. Probably was the censored version though.. idk.. hard to tell from the last 5 mins. 4/5 stars.
For the thrill.

Dance of the Dead was just shitass lame but with a couple of redeeming scenes. Horror comedy, what can I expect? Oh well, 2.5/ 5 stars.

Watched the first 5 mins of Dawn of the Dead too, but they wanted to change movie, so didn't continue.



Attempted to study but hell, I have absolutely no discipline. Ugh. Unproductive!!
I seriously think, how the eff am I gonna go through JC like this..

The guys went to play a bit of bball, ate macs, then they cabbed to AMK, then YY and I to hougang and I took the bus home.


I hate long bus rides alone.
There'll always be a point where I'll start feeling that funny thing with my heart again and start tearing and looking like I just broke up or something.

No idea what's wrong with me these days.
I don't even have a crush. Goodness. Screw those chemicals in my body.

YAY, my right hand is recovering so I shall blog half-proper. :D


Tuesday was EOM day.
I produced high quality and low quantity work, which is optimum for people like me.
Was damn slack, we were totally using MSN and playing games and listening to chris' live gig, HAHA.
Nothing much done that day actually. But I'm probably the only one not done with the EOM cos I'm still waiting for that darn reply from TST.



Wednesday= ODAC study group thingy.
Pretty much a flop cos only Huiying, Vanessa T, Jovan and YY came. LOL.
So slack lah, I didn't even study. But I think the rest did. YY and I were listening to Russell Peters, omg. Funny ttm. I can't forget his 'dickface', ahhh.

Us girls went to play pool after. :D
Speaking of tyco, how about 4 consecutive balls in?
HAHHAHAHA but I missed almst every other after that. No actually, after I almost hit a guy's down-there with the stick. I got so embarrassed I didn't even wanna play already.


Yesterday was scuba meeting.
I suggested eating tao huay before that but we ended up kinda late. Earned YY, JZ, Ivan and myself scolding. Meh. Me and my fahn-tahs-tic idea. I feel so bad now..

Next week is scuba week. 15th, 17th and 18th not free. ):
Bloddy hellhole of a holiday. Today is actually the first weekday of the so-called holiday that I don't hafta put on my uniform and take the hour-long ride to school okay. Basket.

On a lighter note, I went to meet Nic, Reub, Des, ZL and PS at ECP. They just finished rollerblading. Blehh. I didn't wanna make the trip a waste so I suggested cycling. Only PS and ZL came with me. AND my bike's gears were spoilt. HAHAHHAA bicycle jinx me. So ZL swopped with me.
PS rollerbladed on her abec7 wheels. I JEALOUS CAN. People just start rollerblading already abec7. I rollerblade since primary school still abec3.
WHY? COS KID SIZE DON'T HAVE FAST WHEELS.
Don't laugh at me.
I keeel you uh.


ZL saw his SA friend and we ate at macs. HAHA I'm broke please. Everyday dine out omg.



I shall post the pics when I'm back from des' house. TEE HEE.

"Procrastination is an excuse", a text from the school said.

Really? Then the sender has been making excuses too. Why won't people here just accept that procrastination is human nature? That it's inevitable? That it isn't all bad? That working wholly for results, without a speck of any form of distraction is neither possible, nor perfect?

Results, results, results. That's all the adults care about and preach about now. Because they know and have accepted that this world is nothing more than superficial. Saying that people look at your character, morals, whatever is just the most ironic thing they do in schools. Cos all they care about at the end of the day is just your results, that it makes the school look better--academically.
Of course, I stand to be corrected. I'm not the one running the school after all.

I read this article about Serendipity, and it isn't exactly procrastination, but it tends to be what people lump together with the latter. So if I read on the history of slavery (not coming out in any part of A's as of now), but in the process putting my SEA history essay aside, is it all bad? I still gain in knowledge don't I? Isn't that the purpose of education? So why so particular with that one-track mind that I should only let my life revolve around the subjects I'd be tested for?

Really, this society is driving me nuts. Maybe when I grow up I'd look back at this and laugh. Maybe. But for now, I'd stick close to this. Heck results, seriously. And teachers who preach that procrastination is an excuse. It hardly fits, even in terms of use of english.

I just had a random spark this afternoon.
I think I wanna take up Linguistics and Multilingual Studies if I get into a uni. But sadly, only NTU offers that as a major, I think.
And even more sadly, it's in the west of SG. I stay all the way at the other end.
Good for the stinkingly fortunate science kids. (And perhaps the poly kids too, but definitely not JC arts kids). They've got the 4th uni to go to. The other 3 are all like freaking far.

And I'm soo not looking forward to tomorrow. Always hated first weeks of school since upper sec cos of the barely-touched hw pile. -.-
See if I make it alive by friday or not.

Labels: ranternobanter, schooly mooly

Ahh, today, was rather eventful.

First, (not-so-eventful), was class phototaking. The two most 'outstanding' (not sarcasm, but outstanding in an.. unconventional way) guys in the class totally missed it. And the phototaking was so informal I didn't know it was even phototaking at all. I thought for fun one, before the real thing. -.-

Then the class went to Hougang mall for Subway, and I got scammed. Paid like a dollar fifty extra cos of some order screwup. But heck lah.

Okay now here's the more juicy part.
We were taking the bus back from school, and the bunch of us were just standing at the bus' standing area with my back facing the aisle. Suddenly this old man came up and stepped on my calf and sat back to his seat, laughing and talking hysterically. In english, yes, but half of it sounded like total gibberish. I could pick up "chicken leg", "so cute", a gazillion hysterical laughs that go literally like HOHOHO, and erm, idk. So freaky lah. And he was being that way the entire trip.

I felt traumatized at first, then when I suddenly remembered 'chicken leg' I started giggling uncontrollably. Idk why, sounds amusing lol. Bijal was laughing too. And my giggling made Rebekah laugh. I think he wanted to say nice calf muscles on your leg. HA. Kidding.

When we were alighting opposite the school, he said "Why so fast go back uh? (more gibberish) I massage your leg (gibbergibber)" Scary yet amusing, seriously. Reuben then went to tell him "Can you shut up?", which made the old man flare up with more gibberish.

Well, this incident occupied us the entire walk back to school and a bit in LT5 where we had the P's rally. KJ said he was a bomoh (HAHAHA) and i-forgot-who said he was talking to another man in front of him, wearing the same black specs, so maybe they were posessed by the specs (triple HAHAHAHA).

What the hell. I attract all kinds of unwanted personalities. From train/bus fare-asking people (LOTS) to weird old men. EEEEE.

Random: The Reuben Theory suggests that people with moles in their eyebrow will become famous. I have one in my right brow eh. LOL.


That's kind of it already. Last one is that I went to Tangs after the rally to buy MY FRED PERRY SHOESSSSSSS!!! :DDD
Finallyyyyy. I remember I first fell in love with the FP logo (I know, so weird right) when I was in sec school. Ahh, gratification. (:

Ugh.
I still can't study.
I wonder how people can sit there for hours and be so focused. I've only covered plate tec so far. Outta like what, how many books? 24?
Yes, MYE is in 2 days. And schools just like torturing arts students by lumping two papers in one day, with one paper being 3 hours long, and pushing all the papers in front cos apparently our scripts take bloddy damn long to mark. 3 hours of non-stop writing. I'd rather get a headache from a 1h15min physics paper. Why, why did I take arts? WHY.

I still still still can't stop procrastinating! Is it in my genetic makeup or something?

Early release from school again. And I hate the hassle of getting BOTH CT and year head to sign. You know how hard it is sometimes to find them? Don't get what's the big deal anyway. That's the thing with this school. Every damn thing is fussed upon. We're 17 and older. Trust our maturity please.

Anyway it was pretty funny when Mr Tian thought I was crying. LOL cos I couldn't find any HOD to sign the form and asked for his help to call any HOD he knows of that's free atm. So he did, and told the HOD I was crying, and when she came, she was like, Chey early release form only why must cry! I was like huh? I got flu! HAHA epic.

Flu bug, please go away. I hear coughs in almost every class and lecture. Ugh.

Spamming chocolates from my birthday. Yeap, haven't finished them. All the sweets and chocs and lollipops. Ahh, I scared I become diabetic uh.

Lotsa stuff have happened and I haven't got down to real blogging and the result is that I've forgotten everything already. Nothing much for the past week though, start of the routinist school term. Been going home late everyday chiong-ing my holiday hw and no, I haven't cleared them. That's how much there is. Kay, I'm very naggy.

6Jan, Marina Barrage
with Jessica, Vanessa, ChunWei, Junqiang, Wanru, Yuanlin and Ona!
The sun was crazily sadistic and gave us all really bad sunburns. HAHA but better than rain! And there's no ODACian scared of the sun right?! :D

Flew kites for the first time in my life, not much success but it's alright cos it was awesome fun. Picnic-ed for a quite a while, camwhored, then yuanlin and ona came with icecreams so the rest of us decided to go get them too.

We went for daaaamn long. HAHHAA cos we were looking for the shop, but started exploring the gallery instead and camwhored hundreds of pics. Wanru's camera damn spammed, go see Fb haha. Fiiinally was done, and got our icecreams. They got high singing paddlepop. LOL. Camwhored even more when we got back, flew kites again, then vanessa and I left. And I'm lazy to upload pics lah. :P

7-9Jan, OGL camp.
Was damn unwilling to go at first cos we had to reach there before 7am, and cos I had not much enthusiasm left as I mentioned before.

But it all turned out better than expected, although it rained on the first day and we were just playing orientation games which honestly suck quite a bit now that I'm no longer a freshman. Made a couple of friends from Pegasus and good news, by the end of the first day I regained lotsa new enthusiasm. HAHA ride on Pegasus!

Missed half of the second day so there wasn't much, then the last day was just showing our walk-in and learning the new college dance which is kinda cute. Lollipop by Mika's the song. I like. (: Learnt the college pioneer song too, and practised the college anthem for dno what. All went to macs to eat and make our Peggy identities then went out with toot.

Oh, thanks Joanna for the two nights, HAHA.

p/s I shall not blog about my own normal days out, haha might be too boring for you the otherpeople.

11Jan, Start of school.
Was a yucky first day cos I hadn't completed a single holiday assignment. Haha, serious. And the teachers were just grounding rules, expectations and that we're having a sucky first day cos we're already in J2, our A level year and stuff. Wasn't that draggy though, cos intros helped kill lesson time. Got new lockers, and mine's right at the bottomright of the column. Sucks, got to squat down everytime I open it.

Can't remember anything else, on 12th Jan too.

13Jan, Outdoor PE!
Was awesomeeeee. Mainly cos there're no lessons but besides that, it was kinda fun. I had to face my biggest fear on the first station already. Biking. And everyone expected me to be good at cycling cos I'm in ODAC and we did night cycling and all that, but nooo, I suck. Eh but I won in the end! :D So proud.

Second station was quite.. screwed up. A2 damn cunning. No actually I believe it was their CT, not them, who came up with such a devilish plan that we started screaming CHEAT at them. And we had to vs them for the third station too. Oh well, no grudges anyway.

Last station was kite-making! Could offer help cos of my experience at marina barrage hahaa. Failed anyway though. But who cares it was fun. Class lunch at KFC, then went home with toot.

15Jan, Art museum with ODAC.
Looked at really cool art pieces but didn't have much time to look at everything in detail. Made sculptures! My group one cutest can. Cos my idea. HAHAHA I'm big-skinned. Better than someone who made balls on his sculpture. -.- Somemore say cos 'ODAC is not for the faint-hearted'. HAHAHA damn toot.

Went to eat at BK, finally got my turkay bacon burger again. But their bacon downsize alot. ):
Had company all the way home. (:

I'm bored and in a severe bout of procrastination.

My I&R was due 6 hours ago and I haven't started on it. I think it's the post-major-exam syndrome. It's like you've studied like you never had before and when it's all over, you just wanna lie there and be a pig and not do anymore work.

And I was supposed to
a) Go rollerblading with Des and the class
b) Slack with J cos it's her last exam day
c) Play bball with thickness and jialat.

But noooo, I'm sitting here, stuck in front of a computer screen and forced to sit here till I do my bloddy darn I&R.

AHHH.
No one likes PW!


So, I shan't do it now, and post overlyoverdue pics from my mac!
Oh, I'm using my PC, not my mac and about me creating Tumblr and not updating this one anymore, I decided against it. I'm too lazy to be looking after two babies, cos even if I switch to Tumblr I won't be ditching this one anyway.

So yeah, BLOGSPOT IT SHALL BE!
I'll just grin and bear it and blog with only my PC till blogger upgrades after maybe a mac-users protest. But I doubt that would happen.

Kay, here goes!

Dewaine and I 'studying' at the airport's tcc.


J and I imitating the conjoined twins :D

Labels: schooly mooly

YEAH PROMOS OVER!!

But like I have written on my weekly schedule book,

NOTE: Your PW teacher won't let you celebrate. Do your I&R.

Spoilerrrr.

Oh well, there're other happy things!
Like Children's Day!!
Two people wished me and only me okay. (:

And when I went to TM with Joanna and Amanda, the TM people were giving out free popcorn to all children. This woman just popped out of nowhere and stuffed two in my arms. Wow, I look doubly much like a kid? Oh and the funny thing was that she didn't give J any, cos she was soooo tall.
:D
I love being a kid. Don't ever ask me to grow up.


Aight so, the past two weeks have been more than hellish, way waaay more, such that the dictionary holds no word obscene enough for it. Tampines library has been my second home, besides school. It reignited my passion for reading, which I happened to lose like since my primary school days or something.

Been eating at Tamps everyday too!
Like this,


HAHA okay, as part of my procrastination, I took some pics. And only these.

Stack of geog books. Impressive notxzxz?

Labels: schooly mooly

Two more essay papers to the END OF PROMOS!
Oh blimey!

Been mugging non-stop from last wednesday till this wednesday. I swear those days were the most tedious days of my life. History, Geog, Econs, Maths, they all are major energy-sappers man.
Sleepover at Joanna's on thursday after one day of slacking at TM, and sorry thickness, I totally forgot about our overnight studying session.. Tried studying geog again yesterday at hoong's but fell asleep. -.-

Okay maybe cos I crashed one subject in one day. Try term 1 to term 3's worth of maths crammed into one day.

Did really terribly obviously, so the only thing I can do right now is pray for a miracle.
I mean, I studied 10% of what I'm doing now during my O's, and I still managed to come to a JC.


Another miracle pleeeeaaasee?

Oh and I bit my tongue again. Bled again. I think my tongue too long, seriously.

Happy belated sweeter-than-sweet-sixteenth seventeenth birthday
Desiree!

HAHA finally got the time to blog. :D
Went to Secret Recipe yesterday cos the birthday girl decided to pon school on her birthday. Vanessa was the 'surprise', haha. I had to lie how many times yesterday uh, desiree? Keep asking if only us two. LOL.

Ate Frolick yoghurt then Des and Vanessa went home, while Joanna and I went to study at Tampines library.

I spent almost half an hour choosing three books related to history then started reading them.
Yay for dorky me! :D

Ahha, so happy I'm finally studying after like two years plus. I'm working harder, waaay harder than I did for my O's. Unbelievable.

Ate at the T1 food court with J, chatted loads, then bubbletea then parted ways.

Labels: schooly mooly

Yay, pictures finally!
Cos it's a saturday and I'm quite pissed by something and shall protest by not doing homework which would only make me feel a gazillion times worse.
I don't care if that sounds childish.


Right so, pictures and their stories!

Dewaine came over on thursday!
HAHA we practically ran to each other and hugged like some in those cheesy movie scenes. Missed her super badly! She brought Bear along and we went to get bubble tea and caught up with each other then decided to eat at blk85 for dinner.

Talked more, then went home. We only took two pics uh. (:

I think it was wednesday, went to play soccer after school till the sky was this dark (gonna rain again!)
Pushups after missing the goal HAHA. I managed to shoot two in! Missed the rest though.

Ah Ben!


This is..random.
Ah Ben already digging in.The reason why I take so long eating pasta is cos I do this:

Labels: schooly mooly, SR ODAC

I totally forgot what I wanted to say. Again.


Random start then.

Been injuring my muscles pretty often lately. Quite stupidly also. Ahh, superficial or otherwise wounds are like an everyday thing anyway.


I miss dance!
Didn't appreciate it at all in sec1 and 2. Today, I was sitting there, watching the people dance, and me pouting away.
So I gave in after like 20mins, HAHA.
Made my muscle pull which was almost recovering already even worse. Meh. Tomorrow got Bukit Timah hike somemore.

That reminds me; I've been busy 24/6.
Saturdays are no longer my luxury man. Monday to Friday = kill brain cells in school (but alternate days also got PE and ODAC), then Saturday= muscle-making day.
Then Monday to Friday also = muscle-aching days.

Sunday is sleep-in day, of course. But that said, it's only sometimes.
Who was the bastard who invented homework?


Received my third letter of reminder of the year. I'm screwing up damn a lot. Ah well.


Oh, I think I'm moving in to stay with Joanna!
COOL NOTXZXZXZXX?
And when I say stay, I really mean stay. Like eat, sleep, do work, poopy, stone, talk, uh, eat, yeah everything there! Maybe come home for weekends or something. :D
Not like I spend much time at home anyway. Come home to bathe, do work then sleep only. Worse than hostel. Time spent in school is seriously more than what's spent at home.


Can't remember anything else I wanted to say.
I know I had a burning desire to blog some stuff. But, alas, my brain is failing me.


Oh right,
sorry Chris, for makig you stay up till 1am waiting for my email, HAHA.

Since today's Thanksgiving day for SR, I shall blog. :D



Right so, pictures first, since we haven't had them in eons.
But pardon the horrible quality cos of my unintentional, uncountable smashes on the ground my phone has endured. 8mp become dno vhad. Kay, here goes.



PW lessons are awesome cos:


there're lotsa jokes and fooood! (that the other groups always like to kope until MrsT can't stand it.) Oh yeah and that's pingsee, blatantly munching away.



We went to the Japanese cemetery for Chinese!! Seriously man, we all thought TXD was pulling our legs, until I found out other classes were going too. Damn cool, cos the cemetery is pretty near our school.


Wasn't spooky at all though. Maybe cos we were in a group and it was in broad daylight.
But look:
Smokeyyyy. Spoooookkkkyyyyy..And banana treeeee...Nah, just some guy spraying insecticide or vhadever. HAHA.


Meh. Blur. Would otherwise be a rather pwetty picture.

MJ is still dominating the channels.
(:
I don't mind that, actually, after watching them. I realised I listened to a lot of his songs when I was a kid but I never knew they were sung by him. How atrocious was I, HAHA. And his MVs are hilarious, some of them. He totally does egyptian and indian dance, sweeeeeet.



Anyway, sorry guys, if I've been a bit too obvious in my emo-ness.
Stress uh.
Studies and (some of)you-know-what.


Linda's birthday was yesterday, so the whole class (except a few) celebrated it at Pizza Hut. Pris and Rebekah went to buy the cake while we were waiting to be served, then popped up with it! We sang the birthday song as a class, and guess what man,
Pizza Hut's staff decided to play the birthday song for us. HAHAHA classic moment.

But we're so sweet aren't we? (:
My birthday every year is depressing. Like I said, the glamorous date is a mere facade, The day itself is a sad one. Until the next, hopefully.
But I'm sick of empty promises; people say they'll celebrate it for me but it's never done. Then again, until the next. Hopeful kiddo here. (:

I have a brief emo moment everytime we go celebrate someone's birthday. Jealous, I admit.



Okay, enough of that. I sound pathetic.


Speaking of pathetic, I digress again.
That day, Desiree and I decided to take the train. NE line was fine, it was till we switched to the EW line.
Traumatic.

At first it was crowded, but breathable. Then, at I-forgot-what-station, people started flowing in like a tsunami and desiree and I were pushed away from each other like the fish in the tsunami.
Sardines, if you wanna know what fish.

Ohmygawshh. The train was soooo full, that it delayed at two or three stations for more than half an hour.
Bloddy hell cos I'm claustrophobic. And I was literally gasping for air behind this man with slight BO. And mind you, it ain't that easy cos I'm vertically challenged as well.

Damn SMRT.
Damn the peak hours.
Damn the gahmen for trying to bring in MORE people to SG.


Back to yesterday, the day was really short. Ended at 12nn there was no more chinese and fridays are the shortest days of the week. (:

History lessons are starting to get disturbing. Cos of what MW says. This time was about me and Chris' hotdog pen. omg, freaky. But freakiest was still him describing me that day. Eww? I was stunned man. Like, seriously, stunned. Class would know why.


After school and after Linda's bday lunch, we went back to school to finish up geog before the 5pm deadline, then Des, ZL, Reuben, Niq and I went to Tampines1.
Ate at F.I.S.H. after much indecisiveness. Ambience was awesome but the food not so.. Overwhelming flavour fatigue. Maybe it was my throat infection that killed all my appetite but well, I suppose I'm not really looking forward to eating their fried mediterranean fish again.

Hanged around a bit, then Niq wanted to go to Toys R'Us and that's where the best part of the day took place.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA OHMYGAWSH, I HAFTA LAUGH WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT IT.
I shall wait for Des to send me the pic so I can better explain.
Funnyyyy ttm! All of us laughed so darn hard. Ahh, ZL is a joke man.



Okay, this post is wordy and so-not-entertaining.
I wanna blame it on the thing that's bugging my mind right now.
Sigh.
Back to emo-ness.
Bye.

BEWARE! H1N1 KIDDO BLOGGING HERE!

Nawh, just being childish.

But I do have the symptoms. Runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever.
Then again, it could be throat infection. AGAIN. If it really is, then it's the fourth time since last year. Screw my tonsils.

So yeah, got sent home from school. Weird thermometer. Either that or weird me, to have such fluctuating temperatures. From 37.2 to 37.7 to 37.4 to 38.5 to 38.1degC.


Aight, BRB, gonna see the doc.

Anyway, yesterday was school again, for LaoCai meeting.
Found out our groupings, but sorry YY and Jovan, I didn't manage to catch yours. I did manage to find out the people in Nic's though. COS HE'S IN MY GROUP, YAY. Someone I know, at least.

But the other people in my group are awesome too! 3 girls and 3 guys, including me. HAHA I got 2 girlfriends for the trip, yay. I don't know the other girl, though. She didn't come.


Aight, so, we played a couple of ice-breakers, and I spazzed a lot when it came to the Husband and Wife game. My reflexes too quick uh. Until I got mistaken for a touch rugger, LOL.

Then the bloddy concentration game. My brain has some kinda natural repulsion with numbers. So I lost like trice and had to do a forfeit. Had to ask a random guy in the school for his number, and make him write it on my hand.

Bloddy hell, I got my first rejection.
I had to go:
"Hi, I think you're cute, can I have your number?"
And he asked if I was serious. And he laughed. And his friends laughed. And THEN,
"Can I say no?"

I felt like swearing. Gawsshhh, first time ask people for number and get rejected! But anyway he scribbled a fake one in the end uh. And after asking, I realised he looked damn familiar. He was from soccer and I think he was the one who gave Nic and I the evilgrins in the bus that night.
Shit.
Soccer boy.
One soccer boy knows one thing, the whole team knows.
Oh my gawsshh, what thepoop did I get myself into?


Ahh but it was quite a funny experience. LOL.





Today was movie marathon at Jovan's house! Horror movies/ thrillers, to be exact. TEE HEE.
Pretty much a last-minute decision, so it was just YY, Jovan, VanT and I. Watched Cry Wolf, Halloween, and Dance of the Dead.

Cry Wolf got me a bit lost, but it was pretty cool. 3/5 stars. :D

Halloween was all gore, violence, a bit of sex (where YY and I hid under Jovan's tweety bird blanket cos we are innocent kiddos). Intriguing psychopath plot though. I remembered the ending man! Watched it when switching channels on cable tv. Probably was the censored version though.. idk.. hard to tell from the last 5 mins. 4/5 stars.
For the thrill.

Dance of the Dead was just shitass lame but with a couple of redeeming scenes. Horror comedy, what can I expect? Oh well, 2.5/ 5 stars.

Watched the first 5 mins of Dawn of the Dead too, but they wanted to change movie, so didn't continue.



Attempted to study but hell, I have absolutely no discipline. Ugh. Unproductive!!
I seriously think, how the eff am I gonna go through JC like this..

The guys went to play a bit of bball, ate macs, then they cabbed to AMK, then YY and I to hougang and I took the bus home.


I hate long bus rides alone.
There'll always be a point where I'll start feeling that funny thing with my heart again and start tearing and looking like I just broke up or something.

No idea what's wrong with me these days.
I don't even have a crush. Goodness. Screw those chemicals in my body.

YAY, my right hand is recovering so I shall blog half-proper. :D


Tuesday was EOM day.
I produced high quality and low quantity work, which is optimum for people like me.
Was damn slack, we were totally using MSN and playing games and listening to chris' live gig, HAHA.
Nothing much done that day actually. But I'm probably the only one not done with the EOM cos I'm still waiting for that darn reply from TST.



Wednesday= ODAC study group thingy.
Pretty much a flop cos only Huiying, Vanessa T, Jovan and YY came. LOL.
So slack lah, I didn't even study. But I think the rest did. YY and I were listening to Russell Peters, omg. Funny ttm. I can't forget his 'dickface', ahhh.

Us girls went to play pool after. :D
Speaking of tyco, how about 4 consecutive balls in?
HAHHAHAHA but I missed almst every other after that. No actually, after I almost hit a guy's down-there with the stick. I got so embarrassed I didn't even wanna play already.


Yesterday was scuba meeting.
I suggested eating tao huay before that but we ended up kinda late. Earned YY, JZ, Ivan and myself scolding. Meh. Me and my fahn-tahs-tic idea. I feel so bad now..

Next week is scuba week. 15th, 17th and 18th not free. ):
Bloddy hellhole of a holiday. Today is actually the first weekday of the so-called holiday that I don't hafta put on my uniform and take the hour-long ride to school okay. Basket.

On a lighter note, I went to meet Nic, Reub, Des, ZL and PS at ECP. They just finished rollerblading. Blehh. I didn't wanna make the trip a waste so I suggested cycling. Only PS and ZL came with me. AND my bike's gears were spoilt. HAHAHHAA bicycle jinx me. So ZL swopped with me.
PS rollerbladed on her abec7 wheels. I JEALOUS CAN. People just start rollerblading already abec7. I rollerblade since primary school still abec3.
WHY? COS KID SIZE DON'T HAVE FAST WHEELS.
Don't laugh at me.
I keeel you uh.


ZL saw his SA friend and we ate at macs. HAHA I'm broke please. Everyday dine out omg.



I shall post the pics when I'm back from des' house. TEE HEE.
