moving

2006-11-12T20:03:00.000-08:00

I miss everybody!
That's why i both want and don't want FAM to come so soon.
Oh and the other day i was admiring this dress in the Daniel Yam display window and hoped someone was going to wear it. And it turns out someone at my table will be wearing it (: hurrah. It is pretty pretty pretty!

By the way, I'm moving to LJ.
But i'll still be keeping this space i think. Because it is pretty, haha.
(And actually because i have no idea how to store the links for non-LJ peeps on LJ ><)

the only thing that's permanent is change

2006-11-10T20:44:00.000-08:00

It's officially only the 5th day of the school holidays but it feels like it's been a very long time since last monday.
I think i kind of partied my brain empty already >< , with watching movies and shopping and reading.
I'm kind of ambivalent about the end of school.
And i realise that i'm an escapist and i like to run away from having to experience complicated or sad things. I suppose quite a lot of people are like that, and true to their nature they don't want to admit this either. So i guess it's a kind of vicious cycle isn't it.
Which is probably why i kind of haven't really thought about the last day of school properly.
Farewell Assembly was kind of nice. Good thing i didn't cry though. It would have been bad to watch it through bleary eyes. And i made extra effort to pay attention to the speeches and things because they were probably the last amphitheatre speeches i would get to attend.
I took tons of photos as well, so i can remember what everything and everyone looked like.
And i suppose this is for closure;
Goodbye rgs, i love you (:

much love

crazy/beautiful

2006-11-02T23:50:00.000-08:00

Sec 4s had inter-class soccer and floorball today.
Many <3s to 403!
We didn't do TOO badly, haha, considering the fact that we were kind of a motley crew and didn't have any practice at all. I think most of us probably hadn't touched a soccer ball since the soccer module ended in March. I think only vivien and i ended up staying till the end. 402 won, and they were amazing.

I went to talk to ms tan and she let me hold the school camera again.
I will miss photog :'(

Went to watch Little Red Flowers with vivien after that.
It is a rather strange movie with too many crazy little naked children running around for my liking, but the mise-en-scene is beautiful.

Tomorrow is the last day of school. Farewell Assembly.
I don't know how or what i feel about that.
I hope i don't cry too much.

I LOVE MY SCHOOL and all the darlings i've met these last 4 years.
I'm going to miss it so much.
help.

IT'S NOVEMBER!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY AND JUKIE! <3

By the way, we are free at last!
HCL Os were on monday and now it's just fun, random post-exam activies.
So far...
1) Was happy/crazy at 12.31pm on Monday

2) Went on an adventure to Holland V led by janelle and cel. haha

3) Watched ellen without feeling guilty about not studying for chinese (was the Best-in-show Show and Paris Hilton brought her chihuahuas. "That's Sexy." HAHA)

4) Pigged out with Mommy

5) Watched ANTM after a long time. Models are hilarious.

6) Went to Vivo City! (YAAY)

7) Drank Gloria Jean's coffee! (caramelatte <3. the only coffee i have ever loved)

8) Found lighting bolt earrings. I suddenly felt a compulsion to look for some yesterday. haha. But i didn't buy them.

9) Borrowed Fax from Sarajevo from the orchard library! It's another graphic novel! I've been hooked on them since watchmen. I wanted to find Safe Area Gorazde by Joe Sacco (the guy who wrote Palestine) but they didnt have it, so i got Fax from Sarajevo which is also about the war in Bosnia. It is rather sad. I need to find some pink fluffy chick lit! Maybe tomorrow. Because the alternative book i have is We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver which is just disturbing.

10) Celebrated Mommmy's birthday 1 day early! (i went to Vivo City again for dinner. haha. gran said lightning bolt earrings are ugly -_-)
Oh but i bought a pop badge that says "shutter" with a picture of a luminous bug.
("shutter" + picture of bug = shutterbug)

I wanna watch The Prestige, the french movie Days of Glory and surprisingly, the chinese movie Little Red Flowers! Picturehouse here i come.(:

Time to go flip the calendar page from Adam Brody to Jesse Metcalfe!

the sound of peace and love

2006-10-27T20:31:00.000-07:00

Bible verses sound particularly beautiful in the King James version.

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green [1] pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest [2] my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Have no fear, because God is near (:

RGS RULES! (pun intended)

2006-10-20T20:42:00.000-07:00

HURRAH! Narrative film-making option is done!!
All the films were screened today and it was rather fun watching what the other groups have been doing all this while.
And i liked ours! We did a documentary on RGS rules and how we break them. People laughed at the parts they were supposed to, and even at the parts which i had originally thought were quite boring and not funny enough. So i guess that's good (:

Oh yes, and today was the last official day of lessons. We had all our last blocks today, for chinese, philo and math.
(Mr Ow gave us chocolate! Anyone who gives me Toblerone is loved! haha)

Aaah and during recess i realised that it was our last official recess block, where it actually says "RECESS" on the timetable. I know that i shouldn't be sad though , if not i won't be able to enjoy these last few days in school.

What someone's msn nick says is actually rather philosophical and wise;
Every song ends, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the music.
That really makes sense doesn't it. It's quite an obvious thing, but sometimes I just need to be reminded to put things in perspective.

I'm trying to make the most of the time i have left.
I kind of wandered around school after film today, just to look at everything properly and remember it. I got an inexplicable feeling when I walked around the corridors alone, because I've seen them countless times before, but this time they were empty, peaceful, and very hard to leave behind...

Next week, i'm taking my camera.

and this has been in my head since yesterday...

labcoats and ice cream

2006-10-19T21:56:00.000-07:00

Fiona and Heidi were smart not to go for arab-israeli conflict yesterday.
Everyone was either insane, pms-y or fast asleep.
And it was really hard to concentrate when we started late and so many distractions kept getting in the way.
I think no one really cared since options, and school are ending soon.

While waiting for pharm chem to start today i had lunch at Anatolia with heidi. They have the best after-school food ever!
And i also realised that turkish music is rather conducive for doing chinese. Because it is beautiful and haunting and calming at the same time.
Poor heidi was suffering from the after-effects of her cousin dousing the entire contents of her pencil case with talcum powder. And worrying whether the neon signboard outside was going to explode.
haha heidi you are so funny. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
(hehehhehe. you're weird *wonka smile*)
stay wonderful and don't ever forget who you really are <3

Today was the last pharm chem prac. This means i have actually survived 18 hours of it. And mr segarra is actually really nice ok. Haha. Last week wenyi and i had to stay back 45 minutes later cos of the stupid Buchner funnel and he was really nice about it. And wonderful vivien stayed back to help too.
Anyway, today we made penicillin and got to go to the pretty bio lab!
With the air conditioning and the labcoats!
(but too bad we didnt' get to wear them. boooo)

Actually, the science lessons as they were portrayed in the prospectus at that time was what made me really want to come to this school. And the library. When i saw the pictures i knew that i had to come here. Haha
Oh yeah and it's going to be rather sad because after school ends i can't go to the library anymore :( not as an offical rgs student anyway. Or anywhere else for that matter.
Oh nooooo. I only have slightly over 2 weeks left to be an rgs student.
(Next year we will all get transplanted into baicai uniforms :/)

I was feeling kind of sad about school ending and everything so i went to get vanilla turkish ice cream; the ultimate comfort food and the only thing that could soothe my frazzled nerves.

...and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

already one year on

2006-10-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

It's been exactly a year since i bought my pretty swiss cheese notebook (:
Here it is with the K Mart receipt which i saved!
(yay mic ng! )
And it's hard to believe that it's already a year on since we went to sydney for cmps last year.
Oh and it's also a year since i had the gloria jean's caramelatte.
That's going on my list of things to do after HCL Os.
I can't go out till then. AAAAh

quoi?

2006-10-15T20:00:00.000-07:00

I went to watch Princes and Princesses at the French Film Festival with wenyi today. It was really hilarious (:
(But it was in the same theatre where i saw Kirikou in sec 1! The one with the psychotic, over-exposed sorceress Karaba!!! AAAAH)
The movie is about these 3 people acting in a shadow theatre thingie, and they always create stories about princes and princesses.
In one of the stories there's this peasant boy who brings a fig to the queen everyday. And she had like six different ways of exclaiming how much she loved the fig.
In another story there was a little singing creature called a Fabulo which is the most adorable thing ever.
And there was this story which gives the princess-kisses-prince-and-prince-turns-into-frog story are really funny twist. It became princess kisses prince and turns prince into frog/butterfly/rhino/elephant/pig/princess and the princess turns into a slug/praying mantis/whale/giraffe/prince (im sure i got the order wrong. haha) and then they decide to get married in that state. -_-
There were all these cutiepie french children all around, and some of them were speaking in french really fast in their high-pitched voices.
Watching the movie today reminded me of why i love french.

And today chialynn came back!!!!!
It was good to see you again (:
HUGG
And and we ate cornadoes!
whee

i love happy things (:
i don't understand why some people have no conscience.
i lose sleep when i can't stop thinking about you
people say i am the epitome of wonkaness. haha
love is patient, love is kind
when i like someone they are the luckiest person in the world. =D
somewhere someone's thinking of you
i will always LOVE GOD
'forever' is an overused word
i never want to "say goodbye, cos i never wanna see you cry. i swore to you my love will remain. and i swear it all over again and i. i'm never gonna treat you bad, cos i never wanna see you sad" (and on i go, singing to westlife! haha)
i think the current US president is the poor victim of one too many caricatures
i will never forget what you mean to me
my past is full of character-moulding trials and tribulations. haha this sounds so CLE
my greatest fear is to be unloved or to have no one to love
i get annoyed when people are mean for the sake of it
my dog (if i ever have one) doesnt eat homework. so i have to do all of it :(
kisses are the best when they're HERSHEY'S!
tomorrow is a chance to do what you need to do and havent done

CHEERS. tomorrow is friday.

class dinner!

2006-10-04T18:33:00.000-07:00

Whoops this is kinda late, but right after this i'm going to send the class dinner pics to gmail ok? Sorry lynette. I told you i'd send it last sat. heh X)

Anyway it was rather fun. But swensen's has expensive food.

To the mystery person, thank you for the present (:
I love ya!
Thank you for all the memories from these last 2 years, and may there be many more to come.

I think i have a vague idea of who you are... i wasn't intentionally trying to find out who you were.. because there's probably a reason why you don't want us to know.. but after i read what you wrote, it hit me all of a sudden.

"with their trilbys and their glasses of white wine".

it couldn't have been anyone but you...
i want you to know it means a lot to me that i can squeal about stuff like that and other music to you and you actually know what i'm talking about (: HUGG.

"and all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
practicing their lines"

2006-09-17T15:45:00.000-07:00

Oh nooooooo.
I am now addicted to this irritating song!

I went to look for the lyrics too.
Because i have no idea what they're talking about.

No difference. It's still a bunch of nonsense. Gah

2006-09-16T22:00:00.000-07:00

finally uploaded rgsphotog fashion shoot pics to beloved flickr (:

this is what we do when the school hall is empty.

GILBERT

2006-09-13T21:50:00.000-07:00

I just watched What's Eating Gilbert Grape!
JOHNNY DEPP WAS IN IT.
It's one of my favourite movies now!
And not just because of johnny depp. It is, and i quote from the trailer, "an unusual story about life". It is intriguing how small town life can become so dramatic around small town issues.
Juliette Lewis who is really pretty, Leonardo DiCaprio with an Oscar nominated performance as Arnie Grape, Crispin Glover the "Creepy Thin Man" from Charlie's Angels and Mary Steenburgen who played Joan's mother in Joan of Arcadia are in it too.

Lots of great stories can come out of life in small towns. Dysfunctional, quirky, dramatic and sometimes horrific. Like the Wyoming stories in Close Range by Annie Proulx. I only read Brokeback Mountain and 55 Miles To The Gas Pump. Because it was getting too disturbing for comfort. Brokeback Mountain is incredibly sad.
Especially the heart-wrenching moment went Jack tells Ennis "I wish i knew how to quit you."

Gilmore girls is about life in a small town too; Stars Hollow. The entire town is like an outpatient mental health facility. With the exception of Lorelai and Rory of course but especially Kirk. A FILM BY KIRK. i still cant get over it. HAHA

And jessica just told me something really awesome! After seeing her pictures from the fashion shoot our group did last thursday, ms chan, who taught us for the fashion photog course wants to hire her as a model for a photoshoot!
I shall load the pics on flickr soon, when i get them from school hopefully tomorrow. There's gonna be an exhibition of the photos from all the groups' fashion shoots at the koi pond next tuesday too.

Options have been great so far. Narrative film making started on Tuesday!! We got to see some short films and wrote our love triangle story. Today was the first lesson on the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. We watched a video too, and "witnessed" the birth of Israel. Tomorrow i'll start pharmaceutical chemistry. Ooh i'm exciteddd (:

I went to the libary@orchard again today. I love that place!
I have 3 new books now!

1) Three Incestuous Sisters by Audrey Niffeger which took her 14 years to create. By create i mean write, illustrate, typeset, bind. And i read it in 5 minutes. Ah.

2) How I Became Stupid by Martin Page which is a about a poor little intelligent guy Antoine who wants to become stupid so that he no longer has to suffer the burden of his intelligence.

3) Palestine by Joe Sacco which is a comic book (i am now hooked on them after Watchmen!) which will hopefully help with "origins of the arab-israel conflict"

and i borrowed Sideways by Rex Pickett again because i didn't finish it the first time.

Many happy hours of reading ahead (:

WESTLIFE!!! <3

2006-09-08T23:30:00.000-07:00

Just got back from the westlife concert!!
Live concerts are the best!!

I think heidi and i were the most enthusiastic people in our entire seating block.

The whole stadium exploded when Westlife came out in all white for Flying Without Wings. Mark was wearing the trenchcoat like in the video. MARK! TRENCHCOAT!!

Then they wore coat tails to sing Uptown Girl!!

And then the really cool part was when they did the ending of Senorita by Justin Timberlake with the audience to sing along. And then Don Cha by PCD. But of course they sang it as "don cha wish your boyfriend was hot like me" and then they tried to do the whole PCD booty-shaking thing with hilarious results.

Had tons of fun today (:

I decided to go for sentimental reasons, just like for the BSB concert.
Because i've been listening to Westlife for almost 7 years now. Ever since they started out with Swear It Again. That is almost half my life.

There was this period of time when all we heard in the shopping centres and all we sang in school were Westlife songs, so their music becomes a part of your life and your memories, like it has in mine.

WESTLIFE is <3.

"we could be more than just amazing"

2006-09-07T23:21:00.000-07:00

i have no words.

maybe i have started not to care.

a scary thought.

but it is like a landslide

interlude

2006-09-05T23:20:00.000-07:00

"When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire."

I've been listening to Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars over and over again.
It is strangely calming.

Holidays have been pretty good so far. By tomorrow, i would have watched 5 movies.
So far i've seen Adam's Apples, Lovewrecked, The Devil Wears Prada and Singapore Dreaming.

Heidi and i watched 2 chickflicks on monday! We saw Lovewrecked (which would probably have been unsalvageable if not for Amanda Bynes and Jonathan Bennet. oh man Jonathan Bennet!!! the most gorgeous thing in chickflicks ever. hahahaha).
We had lunch at Vilage after that. Yummy food makes me high (:
And then we watched Devil Wears Prada. It was rather uneventful but the clothes were pretty. And seeing these barely there anorexic girls balancing on Jimmy Choos is rather entertaining.

Today Karen and i saw Singapore Dreaming. It's a really wonderful movie by Colin Goh and Woo Yen Yen. It warmed my Singaporean heart to the core, and it really makes you think about the state of life here.

When will we ever be happy?

What do we really want?

Do we know what we should want?

Tomorrow will be a farewell gathering for corinna. I'm sad she's leaving but i'm really happy that she's going to study overseas now, which is what she used to talk about in primary school.

And my cousin and i just discovered that we have the exact same taste in music!
Which is amazing because we live in different countries.
Which is why this is way cool (:

I think it's kind of tough that our family is spread out in so many different places.... singapore, perth, melbourne, malaysia, vancouver, toronto, san francisco, hong kong, shanghai...but i suppose we're almost doing the best we can to keep us all together.

Also, i have finished watching gilmore girls season 2! Plus special features on the dvd. "a film by kirk". HAHAHAHHAHHHAA. i had a laughing fit watching that.

yay for gilmore girls. I'm back to reading the library books i borrowed now.
Watchmen by Alan Moore is pretty good.

I realise there is a small similarity between that and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.

In Digital Fortress there is this quote "Who will guard the guards?"
Which is Ensei Tankado's rationale for trying to get the NSA in trouble.
And in Watchmen there is "Who watches the watchmen?"

Who keeps tabs on the people in charge here?

TEACHERS' DAY!!!

2006-08-31T23:42:00.000-07:00

Amazingly exciting things are happening faster than i can write about them. Which is good i suppose (:
It's teachers' day today!! (Well tomorrow, but with all the pomp and circumstance my mind has been tricked into believing it's today.)
I suddenly remembered this teachers' day song we used to sing in primary school.
I think the words are something like this:

"Today's a special day (x2) for you and me.
We'd like to say (X2)
Happy teacher's day.

CHORUS:
Whoa-oh-oh happy teachers' day (x3)
To our dear teachers.

Thank you teachers (x2) for your kindness
We love you teachers (X2) now and forever

CHORUS"

Amusing isn't it. But today in rgs we sang Happy Teachers' Day to the tune of the birthday song.

ACES early in the morning was rather crazy, much due to the presence of some rather goofy teachers hahaha. Something along the lines of ridiculous flailing limbs, a lack of space and hilarious laughter.

And then during the concert arie and i finally got the see the juniors peforming animaniacs & pinky and the brain!! YAY. It was highly amusing because they added in some party horns and party percussion things. It made me all high and giggly. hahaha. i can't believe i just said that. Pseudonym was really really good too. They sang Beatles' songs! And then Mr Toh sang too, which is always good.

I went around hunting for the teachers to give them prezzies after that.
There was this group of people who gave mrlau and cow matching philo pals t-shirts.
The sight of them posing for a picture was priceless.

I was kinda ambivalent about going back to rv.. because i didn't think many people i know would be going, and who knows how few teachers i know are left. But then i bumped into terrence tan (or rather he very unglamorously boo-ed me at the busstop causing me to yell and almost drop digital fortress) and convinced me to go back. Haha. So i did, and i'm kind of glad i did. I saw lots of people i haven't thought about in a while and was rather glad that i can remember most of them.

I feel kind of bad because i haven't really kept in touch with most people from rv.
But life goes on and things can never stay the way they were when you were 12.
Friendship is supposed to be able to live on though, if it's meant to be. My mum has shown me that. Recently she's had reunions with her secondary school friends and bandmates from more than thirty years ago.

She says that once the rapport is built, even if you don't see each other for years and years, you can kind of pick up where you left off. But she did keep in contact with one friend every since they graduated from rgs; Aunty Margaret, and our even our families have become friends.
A.M is actually a year younger than my mum. But they are really really great friends.

Anyway, back to the rv visit. I think the teachers were glad to see us. It was particularly exciting to see Mrs Singh, Mrs Kumar, Mrs Chung, Miss Lee and Mr Loh again. Ooh and the noodle uncle and auntie! All of them don't look a day older. Especially Mr. Loh. He's still as hot as ever. Hahaha

Afternoon was spent leisurely reading Digital Fortress which jieshi has kindly lent me (: And then watching gilmore girls season 2 episodes back-to-back.

Life is good.

FREEDOM

2006-08-30T20:32:00.000-07:00

Effectively we've been on holiday since 9.30am yesterday!
After math paper ended.
EXAMS.HAVE.ENDED i'm free, mother, freeee!!

I went to watch Adam's Apples with viven and michelle after that.
We got to cine at 11.01 and the movie was at 11.05 so we got the tix right away.
It was pretty good. I've been wanting to watch a thought-provoking movie for a while. I don't think i can sit through something like nacho libre or click. Unless i am high on some fizzy drink and sugared popcorn.

It was about this neo-Nazi guy called Adam and his apple tree. End of story.
Ok not really. It's more complicated than that.
He goes to this church to do community service or something and meets the monk/priest?? Ivan who vaguely looks like the common artists' impression of Jesus with his long thin nose. (which sadly gets broken by Adam at least twice)

Anyway, Adam is supposed to bake an apple cake with the apples from the tree in the churchyard. But the tree starts getting plagues by crows, then worms and so on so Adam has a big problem getting apples from the tree. So with that the film kind of makes you question what real faith in God is, when you face all kinds of trials and tribulations in life.

Oh and that was the first time i officially watched an NC16 movie in a cinema (:
Not a bad way to spend the first hours of freedom. haha

We went to the orchard library after that.I borrowed an Insight guide on Florida, Sideways, Watchmen by Alan Moore and Close Range by Annie E. Proulx, which is in other words Brokeback Mountain and other stories. hahaha.

After i got home i watched all the monty python on youtube that is humanly possible before your brain shrivels at the retardedness but absolute delight that is dotty british humour. John Cleese is <3

Top 3 Monty Python sketches in the world according to me:
3. Dirty Fork Sketch
2. Ministry of Silly Walks
1. Dead Parrot Sketch.

"If it hadn't been nailed there it would've been pushing up the daisies!"

guffaw.

Mum's friends from England are in town so we went to Village at Heeren for Dinner.
It's exactly like Marche, just that the food's cheaper. They even have the painted cows!!! (which you can lift single-handedly by the nostrils by the way. but you really didn't need to know that)

Today.. what did i do today???
OH. dang my memory is going in the euphoria of this free spell.
Urmms.Oh i went teachers day present shopping with cel and micng!
Got lots of pretty things. And micng and i had one round of Daytona for old time's sake. Hahaha. It was almost a year ago that obsession took over against our better judgement in a certain shopping mall in Sydney. *grins*

"wow, she must miss you a lot..."

2006-08-26T00:12:00.000-07:00

Whooo! English, SS, Chem, Bio, Physics and geog are done!
Only chinese and math now.
I am going to work really hard for math for ms tan (:
I am totally going shopping after exams. And im going to stuff my brain silly by watching all the movies and reading all the books that i've planned to.

I went for lunch at Cahaya at far east before the CMPS presentation and it was really good. Karen got me addicted on the sotong you tiao thing which i ate again today.

CMPS presentation was, i don't know, pretty horrible. I was like really terrified up there. I dont know if people could tell. dang. i thought open house was the last time i'd ever have to do it.

Ms Kong said it would be five minutes and there would be principlals and HODs from 4 schools. I didn't think that would add up to like almost a hundred people. (well it seemed like that much too me) *SCREAMS IN HORROR* I only realized how big a thing it was until i saw "FPSP SEMINAR AT CLC ON 4TH FLOOR" signs pasted on the pillars and saw some prefects in their formal ushering uniforms and saw a refreshment table and registration table and everything.

I've done fine presenting in front of tons of people before, like all those people at the CMPS spontaneous activity in colorado. But its because i had time for MENTAL PREPARATION. which is highly essential i must say. because like Gabriella from High School Musical, "I can't have people staring at me, i really can't".
But sometimes, public speaking is like the road block in The Amazing Race. You have to do it if you want to move on. So i have been surviving each harrowing public speaking experience by rehearsing them beforehand a gazillion times in my head so i don't clam up and keel over in front of the audience. if you never realised i was scared of public speaking, now you know. so kiss my toes. haha

I even forgot to imagine the people as watermelons. I wouldnt have tried to imagine them naked, which is what hannah said could be another alternative because it would
have just made me feel like throwing up more.

And i was like a total wreck after that even though it didnt get totally bad. Because now CMPS isn't just CMPS alone. It comes tied with memories; happy and sad, accomplishments and scars and host of other experiences that cannot be done justice to when translated into words. The presence of a certain unexpected and oddly recently inaccessible person also rendered my mind incapable of rational thought. Me, the yammering idiot, to some freakish stoning person. It's usually the other way round. hello, im the introvert here. this makes me sound like i have some kind of anti-social disease like asperger's or something. for the record, i do not.

i realise we're not like what we were before. and before isn't that long ago.
what happened? i don't know. but all i know is time and space have been warped in my memory.

this is a sign that i should get out more. shoe shopping maybe?
this is like being allergic to chocolate. feeling sick because you want something so much, and the only way to cure this is to get it, but once you get it, it makes you sick in the stomach.
it is like how i need people but in the words of shakespeare's romeo,
i am already "one too many by my weary self"

i got an ellejay by the way, for fun. add me. so far, i only know a grand total of four people in LJ land.

3 second appearance

2006-08-20T14:27:00.000-07:00

here is life these few days in a nutshell:

joan finally said goodbye to judith in joan of arcadia yesterday

chialynn made me another pretty avatar!! =D thankyou!

this morning P.I.M.P by 50 cent came on the radio and my dad said it was not bad, not like those other bangbangbang (i.e arctic monkeys) songs i like listening to

last lesson with azahar was today :( sobb.

exams start tomorrow!

my brain keeps looping comfortable by john mayer and walking with a ghost by tegan and sara and how to save a life by the fray.

i smell fumigation fumes. stupid mozzies

EXAMS

2006-08-12T17:23:00.000-07:00

Exams are looming ever closer.
9 DAYS! 9 DAYS!
Which means there are only 5 official lesson days left.

This is a real internal conflict because on one hand i can't wait for exams to be over but on the other hand i can't bear to graduate.
Yes, this is how the peter-pan syndrome manifests itself.
And its also because i love my school....

It is actually like a bubble. A safe environment for you to learn and grow. I will honestly say that i've had grouses and complaints and bouts of misery and laments about the PTful life we have, but in the end, when the time for me to leave draws nearer, i think i love it more than i've ever got mad at it. really. despite chemicar :( and SS PTs and the occasional evil senior in the past and finding bugs in the canteen food and physics teachers whose mission in life seems to be putting people to sleep *coughtppcough*

I think i should enjoy it while it lasts. I have no idea what RJ will be like, but that's in the future so i will let it worry about itself for now.
I expect this whole Leaving-School blues thing will get worse at the end of the year.
As trite as it sounds, you only know what you've got till it's gone, so why not do this instead: if you've been anti-establishment and hating school the last four years, give it a go and love the school for this last few weeks and options period. (:

Before going to great world for lunch today, the last time i had left the house was tuesday for school national day celebrations. It was a really strange feeling to walk around and see strangers after barricading yourself in your room for days.

Oh and i must say national day celebrations were quite eventful. Sec 1s and 2s were a bit appalling so i shan't go into detail. But i think they should be commended for the effort though. Heh.
Then sec 3s were pretty cool. Last year's ND dance doesn't feel so long ago.
Then finally it was the sec 4 fashion parade thing. And hurrah 403 won again (:
403 ROCKS
I didn't really expect our costume to be picked because there were many other beautiful ones... but i dont know it just happened. So, we've won last year's ND Dance, the Book Day thing (WONKA!!), the RHD song and the ND fashion parade.
If we train for netball carn, maybe we'll stand a chance??? hahaha

So as i was saying, i went to great world and at the bookshop i saw lots of lovely lovely books. Now i have a motivation to study real hard for exams. Because after the exams i can live it up with all the beautiful literature out there waiting for me.

1) Trainspotting!
Last year shan did a parody on the famous choose this choose that quote so i went to find out more about trainspotting and i discovered that the movie is a book adaptation. So i wanna read the book first! But then i need someone to teach me how to read a scottish accent because that is how the book is written in some parts

2)All the adrian mole books!

3)The Tenth Circle.
More Jodi Picoult!!

4)The Time Travellers Wife
I borrowed it last time but i couldn't finish it. Now i'm in desperate need of knowing the denouement. argh.

5)Anasi Boys by Neil Gaiman

6)The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
I was wondering whether to read it or not. Rory was reading it in one of the gilmore girls episodes. I'm convinced (:

7)Venetian Tales
I borrowed it last time but then my mum got hold of it so guess who hoarded it for the two weeks?? hahaha

8)Ditial Fortress, Deception Point,Angels and Demons. Dan Brown stuff! except da vinci code because i have given up on it.

9)marabou stork nightmares.
also by irvine welsh, like trainspotting.

and then there are tons of movies to watch too.. *HAPPY*

1)Trainspotting.
Same reason as above!

2)Breakfast at Tiffanny's

3)Pirates of the Caribbean
I JUST NEED TO WATCH IT AGAIN. JOHNNY DEPPPPPPP

4)Choir Boys

5)Dead poets society

6)V for Vendetta

7)What's eating gilbert grape (johnny depp!!)

8)Chocolat (JOHNNY DEPP!!)

ok i need to go do physics now.
thinking about books and movies fills me with happiness.
now i can float off like a helium ballooooooon

WHEE

it feels like crap to know you're out there
but i can't see you

and when i finally do see you
we always don't know what to say.

here we go from the ritz to the rubble
the rumours are true, i am losing my mind.

music=life

2006-08-10T11:30:00.000-07:00

music for mugging. (ooh alliteration)

because silence is defeaning.

tickle test

2006-08-09T22:49:00.000-07:00

I took a Tickle Test. I haven't done one in a long time.
Inane ticke tests; they're so lame and funny at the same time you gotta love 'em.

Michelle, your flavor is Groovy Grapefruit
(same as you chialynn!)

With a laidback style and anything-goes outlook, your groove is mellow yellow. People enjoy hanging out with you for your calming vibe and unique perspective on life. That's probably because you aren't one to let everyday stress get you down. In fact, your pals would say they've rarely seen your feathers ruffled. But as much as you enjoy the company of your compadres, you're just as happy to spend time solo. Why follow the crowd when you can chill down your own path?Chances are, traditional success has never been a huge priority for you. With your groovy outlook, we'd guess you're more interested in the journey than the destination. This type of thoughtfulness extends beyond your inner circle to the world at large. Whether lending a helping hand to others or getting the word out about social causes, your caring nature is punctuated with a zing that never fails to get people's attention.

just forget the world

2006-08-08T23:43:00.000-07:00

The first time i heard Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol,
i didn't think twice about it.
But it's quietly crept into my consciousness.

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

-Chasing Cars, by Snow Patrol.

because of you i'm stuck on the past.

HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS.

2006-08-01T21:01:00.000-07:00

Aaaaah i'm so happy.
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY
I just checked my email and i nearly fell of my chair when i saw that Mrs Hoffman replied!!
Ahahhaha. I thought she forgot about me.
She was just busy with summer. Haha. Sounds like she had a great summer.
And i'm so happy that i laughed like mad and cried at the same time.
I'm so happy i need to tell somebody but there isn't anyone who would know what i'm talking about to tell so i'm um talking to myself here.
hahaha.
but i'm really happy so i don't care . :D
and i used gmail chat for the first time today! talked to arie on it. i like gmail chat! haha.
the heart emoticon is real cute.
i need to talk about carillon. but i'll save that for another day.
i. need. to. go. study.
gah.
LALALALALLALLALA
but nothing can spoil my happiness now. i'm seriously high.

Yesterday was racial harmony day! Absolutely awesome (:
Had great fun again yesterday. Every racial harmony day, we get to wear costumes and everything, and the school organises a concert and games and lots of time for food tasting and there was even banghrarobics this year.

And, DRUMROLL...
403 won the song competition. HURRAH
We seem to have a knack for these random inter-class competition things.
And with this rhd thing, we've done a hat trick. First was the national day dance last year, then the book day door decorating event when we did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and then this year for the rhd competition when we sang our song sin no 90. hahaha.

SIN NO. 90

* In the book of 403 sins of the ancient sect 403, sin 90 is racial disharmony

Four hundred and three commandments
Sin number 90 is the worse
It is not nice
It is racial disharmony
Don’t be a racist

CHORUS 1
Grandma says
(ok maybe we wont disclose this part in case anyone miscontrues and thinks we're racist)
They’re (the diff. races) equally cool
So do not worry
United and one at heart

CHORUS 2

Racism and prejudice and bias
You should desist and deter or decompose
Respect and tolerance
And sing a song of love
So you deserve your holiday

look around
See the many faces smiling now (high: smiling now)
Today is racial harmony day
Stand as one
We will all go through together now (lower: together now)
One at heart
Singapore will overcome odds now.

CHORUS 1 & 2

Grandma says you have to respect
All the religions here
Or she will hit you on your head with her back scratcher
And you’ll cry and you’ll be sorry
(OWWWWWWWWWW)

So we will strive to be good kids
And listen to grandma and
Be racially harmonious
I swear I’ll learn to love my neighbors

So I love my country, people and all the races
We live in perfect harmony together now

Tthis is the order of the day
Unity in diversity

CHORUS 1 & 2
CHORUS 2

NICE?
yes i know its nice (:
hahaha. Apprently the judges said the song and the lyrics were really beautiful. (in spite of the sheep thing which we were all afraid might be misconstrued) Of course the song was written by the talented fiona and char. And viv and fiona and me wrote the lyrics. What the judges said was rather ironic but it made us happy nonetheless so GO 403. yay i love you guys.

Here comes the opposite pole.
I was reading a friend's blog today and i realised that she's going through a pretty tough patch.
I feel kind of bad for not noticing these things sometimes. I think i got so used to her being the funny one that i forgot that she could be sad too.
Those clowns you see in the circus, they could be the most depressed people in town.
Reading about what's happening to her makes me want to help, but sometimes its something people have to handle by themselves, and you're not a part of it, it's better not to get involved.
No matter how much you want to tell her that she's not alone.
This makes your own problems seem much less significant when your friend seems to be going through so much more.
But if you think about it both your problems seem so small when you compare yourselves to people who are dying of cancer, people who are family of those dying of cancer or anything else for that matter or people who have other problems larger than your own. I've been thinking about that because i've just finished "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult.

It's all a matter of perspective really.
Treasure life.
God's given you a life to live.

LIVE YOUR LIFE

but we really dont need them to tell us. maybe just remind us occasionally

captain jack is back!

2006-07-15T19:57:00.000-07:00

PoTC 2 opened on thursday!!!
Because that's what the movie is all about, i decided to take a leap of faith and went to GV at great world 15 minutes before the 9.55 pm show. We were almost going to take 2nd row from the screen seats when the box office guy suddenly spotted 2 seats in the last row that were just-released uncollected tickets. How cool is that??
So i got to watch pirates on the opening day (: WOOHOO
It was awesome. Even though its sadder and ickier than the first film. If you thought they coudn't get any ickier than undead rotting skeletons then pirates 2 will prove you wrong. Davy Jones and his ugly semi-seabeast crew and the kraken and its yellow-goo-spit are icky beyond degree.

(Beware: slight spoiler ahead)

The sad thing is that it seems as if Jack Sparrow dies at the end of the film. And it seems to signify the end of the hilarious drunken swagger as we know it. But then if there's a pirates 3 obviously he isn't really dead. Still, it is sad because it looked like Jack Sparrow got chewed up by the mean sea beastie at the end of the movie.

(Ok no more spoilers)

Stay till after the credits, because there's something there. Oh and it is good to have a clear memory of the first movie so you'll get all the running jokes and the storyline won't be too confusing. And even though there are lots of funny moments it really isnt as light-hearted as the first film. The pain and reality of death looms closer. And Will Turner gets quite a surprise when he lands himself on the Flying Dutchman. You'll see.

CAPTAIN JACK IS BACK (: watch pirates 2!

Oh when will Elizabeth and Will ever get married??

introverted people can talk too much

2006-07-12T22:06:00.000-07:00

chialynn reckons this is the weirdest thing i have ever said so far.
ahaha. i am the palindromic sequence/ red herring person by the way.

how to save a life

2006-07-05T21:19:00.000-07:00

I am addicted to this song.

How to Save a Life by The Fray

Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

First time i ever heard it was on Kiss FM when Ana turned it on in the car.
Second time was on Kiss FM too, but in our dorm room at CSU, while reading Dignity Overdue to prep for interviews.
It reminds me of superman too.
Reasons to love it all the more.

Back to english. SME entrepreneurs are here to save the day.

germgland <3

2006-07-02T02:11:00.000-07:00

I LOVE GERMGLAND!
Been supporting germany and england (germgland. haha). Just like in 2002. (yes i am biased)
So when germany won yesterday i was so happy i cried...
But i feel like crying again because england lost. ENGLAND LOST. :((((
murder! fire! god save the queen!
heidi said rooney did something loony and beckham cried. i can't remember what else because i am so sad. ah. it is worse when you know portugal was with the slightest bit more truth the better team.

Its sad not to be seeing anymore of england. At least germany's still in the running.
I need to go wear my world cup shirt. (:

Went for After Math with celeste today. It was really cool!
I never knew what i missed when i didnt go for all the elds performances the last 3 years. This time we decided to go to support hannah and olivia. They even managed to work in a harry potter joke during one of the emo scenes. Cute.

Today chialynn and i tried completing the Billy Bones adventure thing. Billy's recruiting a crew for Jack Sparrow's ship to go hunt for Davy Jones' chest, so add him at billybones@deadmanstale.com to give it a go. Had lots of fun firing at the enemy ships. The cannon ball flies, drops and BOOM the enemy ship goes byebye. We rock (: We have pirate blood probably. I wouldnt mind if it means being related to Will Turner and Jack Sparrow. haha.

I can't sleep. Maybe i'll go watch my X2 video or something.

on the brink of school

2006-06-24T21:03:00.000-07:00

Ah well its the end of another month of June hols again.
I guess i haven't been here in a long time. More than a month to be exact.
Honestly it really is sort of cos some people just take the fun out of things and i really didnt want to blog anymore but i will save that rant for another time because today i want to talk about happy things (: WHEE

This past month of holidays have passed really really fast, (like always), but still its a long time because lots of things have happend. I will try my best to condense everything so it doesn't run as long as my accumulated shopping receipts from this past month.

COLORADO (:

Colorado was an absolute blast. I had a fantastic time and i think everyone else did too.
CMPS is finally over. Well the competition is, but it's the start of something new now, where i'm going to continue fighting for the cause, and maybe i'll join TWC2.

We started with a homestay in Fort Collins with the Hoffmans. It was me and hannah staying with Mr and mrs hoffman and their 2 children Ana and Kate, and we had such a good time going around to the schools, the public pool, the mountains, the shopping malls and stuff. Was a real cool exprience to know what living in an American family is like. And i found out how cool Hannah is too hhahaha. One night we stayed up for a bit, me doing CMPS and hannah making our thank you cards for the host family, and we did silly stuff like laugh at our own jokes and hear hannah calling herself a bobohead. that was so cute i laugh everytime i think about it.

We moved to Ingersoll Hall at the Colorado State University for the FPS international conference after that. We got those scanner things for the doors and a meal card for our free food too. It was really cool. We got spaghetti, fries, hotdogs, burgers, corndogs, all the types of cereal and drinks you can imagine. It was all you can eat and more. Mostly unhealthy; processed american food though. Haha. The rooms were kind of spartan (we got non-fitted sheets!!! argh)
but still nice and cosy after we made the beds and tucked in.
There were tons of people there, from most of the states in the US. some people from other countries too. no uk and europe though... hmm.. We got to exchange gifts and stuff so we've got stuff from all over US and other countries too. How cool is that???? (:
I got to share a dorm room with hannah again. Turns out we have the same shoe size too so she could wear my sparkly flats for her choir thing. And she doesn't laugh at me when i tell her im scared and dont want to turn the lights out, but i walk over that long span of dusty carpet and turn them off anyway. So in conclusion she is a fab roommate (: haha

We went on tour after the comp, and it was a really pretty trip to Colorado Springs and Denver. I took tons of pics over the whole trip so now i have more than 900. Talk about insane out of control shutterbug. =P

I really really miss colorado, and the hoffmans and hannah and my team and sabby who will go to norway soon and the other nice nice seniors. But at least ive got tons of pictures to relive the trip. hehe.

(If you've read till here you must be really bored. But i'm going to ramble on like nobody's business anyway. haha)

CHIALYNN

Boo. After i got back a few days later was chialynn's sendoff at the airport. She packed her 24kg overweight bags (woops) , ready to go (ohno) and she left on a jetplane for vietnam.
Lots of people went to see her off. I'm gonna miss you chialynn (: You are one amazing person and i think you mean a lot to lots of people. Don't ever forget that. By the way, i took your quiz today and i have the lowest marks so far. How sad. haha.

WORLD CUP

Whoo it's here after the long and arduous wait. After the last one ended i had withdrawal symptoms and i probably cried.. haha. And again, i'm for england and germany through and through. An important reality check though, one musn't go overboard during world cup season to the extent that it takes over your life, because even if you love your soccer team, they probably cant love you back. So dont neglect the real people who will, even with a bout of soccer fever.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.

I <3. wheeee its coming soon.
JOHNNY DEPP RULES. oh yeah. oh yeah. oh yeah.

Okie enough for now. Back to work. Schools opening. Although if i had the power there'd be one more week of freedom all around.

... sometimes you have something you need to say but you can't, because the words won't come out or you get scared or you feel stupid. So, if you could write a song and sing it, then you could say what you need to say and it would be beautiful and people would listen and you wouldn't make a complete idiot out of yourself. But all of us can't be songwriters, so some of us will never be able to say what we're thinking or what we want other people to know we're thinking, so we'll never be able to get the chance to make things right again...

hollyday

2006-05-12T17:00:00.000-07:00

Yay. Today is a holiday (:
I haven't been here in a long time. Time flies when life is PTfull.
Chem, bio and math are over! Still ss to come but that is in week 10.
Week 10 also brings the departure to colorado.
Which means the period of now-may26 will be insane.
CMPS all the way now. I'm really excited but really scared at the same time.

To celebrate the three-quarter point of term 3 madness i went shopping at far east yesterday. It's ever so convenient that far east is on the way home. I finally got the plastic bead thing i wanted and i got funky bookmarks from paper people and some stuff for the host family i'm staying with during the homestay in colorado.
I saw this really cool Cd shop Inokii on the third floor next to Hans. Stuff that usually sells at about 20 in other cd shops sells at 12 there. Cool huh. They sell band shirts there too and i saw chialynn's thursday shirt there for $15!!! Ahh which reminds me that i need to buy chialynn's present!!! And i only have 2 sundays left to see her. Hopefully i'll be back from colorado in time to see her off at the airport. Aaaaah i'm going to miss her. I wonder if its a good idea to airmail gummies to vietnam? I could do that for her birthday. Hahahaha.

Lots of nice movies out now and coming soon. MI 3, Da Vinci Code are some. I wanna go watch something! I haven't not seen a movie in this long ( 6 months) ever. Then pirates of the caribbean 2 will be out in july (JOHNNY DEPP JOHNNY DEPP!) and there's definitely going to be a third movie too, so HURRAH.

i think you're crazy, just like me

champagne supernova in the sky

2006-04-28T23:45:00.000-07:00

Shan is airing his interview with noel gallagher now now now!
Ahhh. And he's playing all the great oasis music that now i don't feel like sleeping.

Someday you will find me caught beneath a landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky...

This is nice (:

Rock stars are really intersting. They have this air of i'm-a-rock-star-and-you-can't-ever-be-me that's rather intriguing. I want to meet a rock star with attitude one day.

I like listening to people with british, irish, scottish and welsh accents. Which is probably why i like watching Jamie Oliver's cooking shows, Girls in Love and Bus Life and one of the reasons why i love the Arctic Monkeys.

I was listening to the radio the other day and i think Juicy by Better Than Ezra is one of the most hilarious songs ever. I can't imagine anyone not being embarrassed if they were caught singing that in the shower.

Also, i have just discovered the wonder that is YouTube. I found some gilmore girls, joan of arcadia, mazzy star, rachael yamagata, arctic monkeys and russel peters on it the last few days.
Now i know what to do when i have gilmore girls withdrawal symptoms. Season 6 is ending in the US and it hasn't even started here yet. Boo.

I read in the papers today that Coldplay is coming on 31 July. Wicked (:
I think i'll go if PTs and tests allow.
That is why reading the papers is good. You get news like this as soon as possible.

fade into you

2006-04-27T20:39:00.000-07:00

Here's Fade Into You by Mazzy Star. Finally found it after hearing it on gilmore girls.
It was in season 1 episode 6, and rory and dean are dancing while a very jealous paris and chad michael murray as tristan watch them.

Paris is jealous because she had to ask her cousin to the dance and tristan is jealous because he's in love with rory.

But rory and dean are completely oblivious in their own little world as Fade Into You plays in the background...

Yay arctic's latest EP is coming out tomorrow. I wonder how MDA is going to censor it when it gets here. I bet they will. Or maybe they won't allow it to be imported here but that is a worst case scenario. I'm saving my pocket money for it.

Anyway it's been a rather interesting week. But i can only remember as far back as thursday because as a spontaneous reaction to trauma my brain permanantly erased the memory of chemistry PT.

yes i was joking. it is not that evil but still i'd rather talk about book day.

Thursday was book day and I think it's the most fun i'd had since term started. Our class did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I got to be Wonka which was immense fun. I got to act as crazy as i wanted. Hehe. My mum and i put my costume together. She made a top hat for me and i got out my black pants and black coat. Pictures later. Gotta go find the person who has them! The Oompa Loompas were absolutely hilarious. They did the augustus gloop dance. And our door is really pretty! Most of the class helped to do it under the artistic direction of van and bx i think. It's so lovely. I think this will be one of the best 403 memories.

Books Actually had a stall in the canteen and i bought 3 books. of matches. Haha. yeah.
They printed matchboxes to look like books. I got The Melancholy and Tragic Death of Oyster Boyby Tim Burton, The Cat in the Hat and another book i don't know the title of. But i liked it anyway.

Friday was InConvo on arts and culture and the speakers were Mr Lee from Substation and Ms Noorlina and Ms Joyce Teo from LaSalle. They're really cool people. They have a real and honest passion for arts that came through their speeches. The main issue now in discussions about arts and culture would be that most people go to mainstream productions (eg Disney on Ice/ PCK musical) and think that is the only form of art that is good. Hence the low attendance at really good arts performances like Robert Wilson (i have to look him up) and other local productions.

So as Ms Noorlina said she thinks that a quality arts education is important so that in the years to come there will be a discerning arts audience. Pretty intersting stuff. I hope all that happens and now i really feel like watching a local arts performace.

Friday was also Earth Day. Patrick was really nice and helped us judge inter-house photog even though i asked rather last minute. Patrick rocks (: The sec 3s' fighting fish are really nice too.

In the newspapers yesterday and today there were pretty big things.
Yesterday was the Arctic Monkeys. Ironically they are computer illiterate although the internet was what helped them make it big. But it also shows the importance of a strong fanbase. And today in the Sunday Times was about how RGS raised $130 000 for Shu Fang who has tongue cancer. Even though i've never known her, my heart goes out to her and i admire her honesty and fighting spirit. Lots of people also did really amazing things for her. Like Mrs Tan and some of the teachers & SLN people who visited her. The best thing i can do now is pray for her. If you haven't read the article yet go read, and help pray for her too (:

K its CMPS time again. Goal: Colorado in June!!

Till next time, love planet earth and BE GREEN. Here's how.

bleah

2006-04-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

Pretty down in the dumps today.
I'm buried and hardly visible under a whole ton of work so i better get started.
I have no life please?? haha
And i just found out that i can't go for Heart of Fighter on Friday night again.
Because of In Conversation for sec 4s this time. And its compulsory. Bummer.
And it's the last HoF lesson already.
There's supposed to be a concert at RJC with electrico and i wanted to go, but since its the last HoF lesson i'd go for HoF, but the In Coversation thing just has to be this Friday too. argh.

Wednesday is NAPFA test! Aaah. I haven't really prepared for it. But i havent got time to stress about that now. I am stressing about CHEM. die chem die. hahahaha.
Tomorrow is our testing day for our chemicars. More big smelly messes.
I reek of vinegar still. From trying out our car today.
I hope that tomorrow we will have a miracle.

Last night Hutch was doing siwm on 987 (: Just had to tune in cos he won't be going on air for a while. Sobs. But i called at the beginning and asked for arctic again. Don't know how many times i've asked him to play arctic already, but he still does because he is nice! Listening to hutch makes me really happy (:
Hurrah hutch totally rocks and should definitely be on air more, so if you want more hutch on 987 too, go sign this! WE WANT HUTCH <3

That petition to get hutch on more was started by a totally rocking rgs girl called arina i think. And she's in richard too. YAY. (richard <3) . she's so smart can, to go find the ipetitions thing. haha.

Well i'm off to conquer homework now. May the force be with me. help

big smelly mess

2006-04-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

Did chem PT yesterday and today.
Everytime we run our car it leaves behind a big smelly mess.
I hope the janitors aren't mad at us now. Haha.
I do wish PTs weren't so expensive though. Had to keep buying vinegar and baking powder.
I hope the physics one won't require us to buy stuff. But unless i can get some recycled motor thing (if that's what we're going to do), i have to start saving my pocket money now. PT me. heh.

Today i went down to the janitors's resting area next to the B1 carpark, and i realised what a cool place they have there. They even have gym equipment down there. No wonder all the janitors are so buff. hahaha. Elaine thought they were the fitness trainers at the gym.

Hollaback crew is today. Somewhere in Singapore people are screaming for the click five.

"Every princess has her knight" (: i know that is heidi's favourite line from catch your wave

click five! click five!

2006-04-13T19:33:00.000-07:00

HOLLABACK CREW FINALS ARE TOMORROW.
aaaaah
I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!
There'll be the finalists, the click five, ronin, don and drew and loads of other people who love 987 there too.
BUT. i haven't been able to get tickets. HOW???
Any nice person out there has extra?? hehe

Pretty please? XD

hold on if you feel like letting go

2006-04-12T20:33:00.000-07:00

I realise that it is a pretty tough time for a lot of people right now, be it problems with their family, friends, school, self esteem and so on. But, don't lose hope alright?
Here is a song that always helps, have faith and keep praying (:

God Will Make A Way
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me .
He will be my guide,
Hold me closely to His side.
With love and strength for each new day,
He will make a way,
He will make a way.

Last time, our FDW Ann and I would sing it together before we went to bed.
You can sing it in the morning when you wake up too, to give you encouragement and strength for the day. Remember, with God, nothing is impossible.

Also, if you like Good Charlotte, i think the song "Hold On" might sound familiar. It's quite encouraging and cathartic too.

Till next time, keep your chins up dudes, you're not alone.

when the sun goes down

2006-04-09T19:36:00.000-07:00

I just looked out the window to see an absolutely gorgeous purple sunset. I love my room (:
It has a view of great world city with a big piece of sky above, and in the evening, the sunsets are really stunning somtimes. The sky is painted with liberal streaks of purple and pink and sometimes dark red, and you can just stand there in a trance, totally lost in the beauty of nature. I didn't get a picture of today's sunset, because they only last for about 10 minutes, but here is a picture of a pink sunset i saw the other day. I have a picture from about 2 to 3 years ago where the sky is completely pink, purple and violet. Must scan that in here soon!

But now, the sky is totally dark. That sunset left so fast.

thank you (:

2006-04-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

ah i wanna cry already...
we tried doing our chemicar experiment today, and it hasnt worked yet.
i really really want this to work out. not only for me but for the other guys too.
it's hard to see them stressed out.
i'm kinda sad and tired now.
there is still ss pt, geog pt, cmps and other homework to do.

sometimes you want something so much that you're so scared you're going to mess up that you do. and even after you've planned and given something a lot of thought, it can still go wrong. and sometimes the chance is so near you can see it and reach out and grab it, but then you don't because you can't believe its happening and you think i'm not this lucky. but then in the beauty of hindsight you realise that yes, you can have that. but you don't have it because you're not brave enough to get it.

Happy April fools' everybody!

And happy birthday Fred and George; the envy of amateur april fools' pranksters everywhere.

Don't they just make you smile?

"Hey, look - Harry's got a Weasley sweater, too!" Fred and George were wearing blue sweaters, one with a large yellow 'F' on it, the other a 'G'."

Harry's is better than ours, though," said Fred, holding up Harry's sweater. "She obviously makes more of an effort if you're not family."

"Why aren't you wearing yours, Ron?" George demanded. "Come on, get it on, they're lovely and warm."

"I hate maroon," Ron moaned half-heartedly as he pulled it over his head.

"You haven't got a letter on yours," George observed. "I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid - we know we're called Gred and Forge."

-from Harry Potter by JKR

FRED & GEORGE......

Did you buy their album as soon as you set eyes on it, or even better, order it beforehand?
Do you suddenly feel like listening to it at random moments during the day?
Is your favourite time of the day when the sun goes down?
Do you find it rather thrilling to be waving goodbye to the train or bus?
Do you want your tombstone to say "Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not?"

Then you have arctic (monkey) fever.
And there ain't no cure for that (:

insane ipod oracle

2006-03-22T20:49:00.000-08:00

***
I went to IMCB (Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology) today! Charlene and i signed up together and the workshop we chose was Apoptosis of Mammalian cells. Apoptosis sounds like a very horrifying and hard word. Turns out it actually means cell death.
We worked in one of the labs with people from other schools, and we all got to wear a lab coat and gloves and everything. How cool is that? I'm bringing my camera tomorrow!

i am 15!

2006-03-20T23:56:00.000-08:00

Hahaha this is the last day i can say this.
I AM 15 and I LOVE IT.
15 minutes left.
I can't watch movies rated nc16 and above, and i can't drive, but that makes me really happy somehow.
Maybe i have the peterpan syndrome. But heidi tells me she doesn't really feel different being 16 so it's not so scary anymore.

4 minutes left! Michelle and shermin are counting down with me in an msn window. hahaha.
I am going to explode with happiness.
Thanks for remembering! I LOVE YOU

thank you God that im still alive today (:

me and my dad

2006-03-20T18:42:00.000-08:00

my dad is hilarious sometimes.
this is how our conversation in the car on the way to church yesterday went...

mum: hey do you remember when we went on holiday last year we met this lady who kept on
bragging about herself?
dad: no i don't... which one?
me: i think i do. it's the one who looks a little like miss piggy.
dad: 0h i remember her now! but... miss piggy is more beautiful.

hutch rocks (:

2006-03-18T21:55:00.000-08:00

hutch loves arctic monkeys and he can do a welsh accent and a jamaican accent and he is really nice and a lot of other things so that is why hutch rocks. hahaha

listen to 987 and

go tag hutch (:

i just realised, i crossed the 100th post mark here.
this is 101. it took me a long time to get here.
hurrah (:

do you see the pieces

2006-03-18T21:40:00.000-08:00

do you know how it breaks my heart
when you tell me to do something im afraid of
and promise you'd help me
but you never do.

and so you're sixteen...

2006-03-17T16:40:00.000-08:00

*michelle commences to sing heidi a birthday song*

(I KNOW I CANNOT SING WHEN IM REALLY EXCITED BUT JUST PRETEND THAT I CAN OK? FOR EFFECT..)

Happy birthday heidi darling!

I love yoooo! (:

The picture was a bit blurry but i think that makes it kinda cool. like we're ghosts or something. Hahaha.

warble the heart of a fighter is the heart of a survivor...

2006-03-17T00:42:00.000-08:00

I got a haircut today!
And i'm glad i went today. It was $26 for a wash and cut, but by next tuesday it would have upped by $10 cos they charge you $36 when you turn sixteen. Being fifteen rocks when u wanna get a cheaper haircut.

But then i have haircut woes. Everytime i cut my hair everyone says my hair still looks exactly the same. I guess that happens when like me, you have two times the amount of hair on your head than the average person. I think melanie and corinna have hair like mine too. Haha. And middle-aged people are always jealous and beg you for a hair transplant.

Heart of a fighter in church today was really good. It was on heart seeing or looking beyond people's appearances.

Which reminds me of something from the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare.

"all that glitters is not gold". i liked that.

by the way, the guy from keane has a really nice voice. he's singing bedshaped.
but i don't know what that means.

how does your garden grow

2006-03-14T22:10:00.000-08:00

I've got a new template!
The archives dont work yet though.
I dont know what happened to my old alexis bledel one.
I really did love that one. Oh so much.
But i forgot to host the pic myself, so i think the whole thing just went wrong after the creator of the skin moved her link or something.

I decided to use this one, This Other Eden.
Which was the skin of the day yesterday on blogskins.com.
I think i'm a bit obsessed with nature now, after completing my nature photog. course today.
That was yesterday and today in school, 9-5 yesterday and 8-5 today.
Really long! But it was good.
Our coach was Mr John Arifin and he taught us a lot on both the theory and practical fronts.
Andd...for the first time i noticed all the nature we have in the school grounds. There are lots of beautiful things. Like ginger flowers, orchids and tiny frogs in the koi pond.
I think i'm starting to live out my goal to slow down and smell the roses this year.

I feel like i havent had time to breathe at all since the holidays started though.
After swim carn. on friday, went straight to Heart of a Fighter with Karen.

Then all of saturday was bells prac and then wheel get there.
By the way, wheel get there was really good!
It was like a sort of wheelchair amazing race, with 7 of us (me, michelle ng, joelle, sun peng, hanif, juan lu, bing ying), 2 facilitators (jonathan and bing wen) and mdm jaya, a real wheelchair-bound person.

I think i really know how to push a wheelchair properly now. I used to be afraid of banging into things.
And now i know what it's like to be on a wheelchair. Its almost a surreal feeling thinking back at it now, because you get a very different perspective and experience of travelling around Singapore.
This time, when i went on the mrt, i had to go up and down to and from the platform in the elevator, and then go through the wheelchair gantry thing. On the mrt, i had to brake the wheelchair or risk rolling away because of my best friend intertia. And the person pushing me told me that there were a lot of people staring, and even this guy who was staring at me with a sad face. Wheelchair-bound people really get stared at a lot. Its a bit uncomfortable.
I think once you've put yourself in someone else's shoes you understand them a lot better.

Sunday was church. In the evening samuel gave his first sermon. Its amazing what he can do at his age. He's younger than i am.. i think he's sec 3 in ri. Yeah. His message was really
good. It was about drifting away from God; the signs and how to avoid it.

Then monday and today was photography. I'm kinda happy with some of the photos.
Maybe i'll post them here soon. But i found that my camera can't really go beyond point and shoot. I can't go to sentosa with chialynn tomorrow :(

But, my mum's bringing me to the camera hospital to check out new cameras! Hurrah! I want a nikon D70! And my birthday is coming!
But still... i won't get that. It's too expensive at this level. I'll get something else that's good and has all the different camera modes, and macro plus supermacro. That'll be cool.
Then after that i think we can go to that nice shop with lots of clothes and bags and stuff.

I'm so exicted i have to go sleep now cos it's making me tired to be excited. haha.

But i'll listen to the radio a little while more. hustler's ambition is on now.

Just now Shan aired his Do Me A Favour segment, and it was on this girl cordelia who wanted to give him a wardrobe makeover cos she thinks he dresses like a poly student. Take that man.

Shan: We have entered the pink shirt zone.

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored,renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ...
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others."

"Today is International Women's Day.

I love it when Ms Sandy Leow gets hold of the PA system microphone.
Her morning announcements are the best.
That is exactly what she said this morning to announce the occasion for the day.
It's international women's day (:
Happy international women's day! (if applicable)

Did i already say how great the Arctic Monkeys are?

People who love the arctic monkeys have the most fun.
yay i am going crazy with happiness...
it's nice to be able to be contented with simple pleasures in life like my radio (:

Remember the Name

2006-03-01T20:18:00.000-08:00

Fort Minor are in Singapore now! Walking on our streets, breathing our air and the best thing, playing at the Indoor Stadium right now.

I really wish i could have gone...especially after hearing shan wax lyrical about them on his show yesterday. Man, life as a DJ is one great adventure. They got to go to Bangkok to see 50 cent, and Fort Minor was the surprise opening act. Can you imagine?? Fort Minor AND 50 cent in ONE NIGHT. What more could you ask for?

And the way Shan described Fort Minor's act was rather amusing...he said there were these really macho-looking black men playing violins to back up Fort Minor. AND Mike Shinoda is going to do his own version of some Linkin Park songs.

Oh yay Hutch is on 987 now! He's nice (: he read two of my emails. YAY. I think he's so cool because he seems to have his time management skills in check. He's at school and at 987 and on 9 lives. Go see! Besides, hutch + nice pink shirt= optical sugar overload. Be prepared. HAHA. If you didn't know already, yes i can be really laaame.
Wish i could do so much stuff at one go. Alrightie, hutch shall be my time management role model. Maybe then i can do all my homework, study for tests, stay awake in class, finish my photog assignments, read all my bell scores properly and do all my piano homework way before an hour preceding my lesson. Yeah. I know i havent got as much stuff to do as some other people... but i shall see how it goes...

And thus begins my favourite month of the year! March <3

march march march march march MARCH lalalalalalaaaaaaa

here comes a Ford Mondeo...

2006-02-24T23:20:00.000-08:00

When the Sun Goes Down...

Who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
It's all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listen
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down

He must be up to something
What are the chances sure it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?
And he don't have to say 'owt
She's in the stance ready to get picked up

Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be * freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
it doesn't stop in the winter, no

Around here
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river going out of town
What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all

At first i thought it was a song about sunsets. It makes you think that at first because its called "When then sun goes down" and the words are kind of muffled, so initially you don't really know what they're talking about. But after you listen to it over and over again... you start to get this uncanny feeling that it isn't sunsets they're talking about.

"And he told Roxanne to put on her red light"

without music, life would be a mistake_gramophone

2006-02-24T22:44:00.000-08:00

I looooove the arctic monkeys!

And I finally got my arctic monkeys CD from gramophone on thursday! After going on Monday to find that it was all SOLD OUT the day before, then reserving a copy and having the nice lady call me on wednesday to say that it had arrived.

"Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not."

GO GET YOURS TOO!

2006-02-13T20:50:00.000-08:00

i guess quite a lot of people have been left wondering if they annoyed him in some way
why is he like that?
discovered he's a prettygoodliar too
what a shame... ellipses dots...

WHERE?! hahahaha

2006-02-12T21:20:00.000-08:00

It's been almost 3 weeks since the BSB concert!
But it's still very clear in my mind. Oh yes.
I wanted to say something (or rather, scream something) about it sooner but i've just been either too lazy or too busy.

Anyway, BSB was fantastic ((:
It fills me with joy everytime i think about it.
I've been listening to their songs since i was 6 or 7, and it is definitely a wonderful wonderful absolutely exciting feeling to have finally heard them live and SEE them live. They were just THERE!! like THERE!!! Aaaaah

Can you imagine... the first time i ever heard a BSB song was when our fdw last time, auntie ann, kept singing "As Long As You Love Me" when she pottered around the house, when she cooked, when she cleaned, when she played with me and when she was trying to fall asleep. And finally, finally, i got to see BSB live.

It was definitely definitely worth it. I would have gotten the 160 ticket if i could, but i just being there was good enough for me. Oh im so happy.

The best parts! The perfectly synchronized dancing; especially when they did that funky robot dance for larger than life and the dance with the fedoras (is that what those hats are called??). And kevin on the piano, aj's absolutely hot solo and nick's GUITAR SOLO!!! He was there, right there!!! Jumping, rolling on the floor (yes, rolling). I think all the BSB fans loved it to bits.

I guessed that they would sing Everybody for the finale, and i was right! It's a really great finale song. Hit the nail on the head. "Backstreet's back, alright!" Yeah man.

***

My mind is all woozy, but i think a short time after that was chinese new year... yeah it was. My cousin from perth came to stay for a while, cos he was doing his internship at the ttsh a&e dept. Kinda cool i think.

Chinese new year passed really quickly this year... its like whoosh and the weekend plus the 2 days passed so quickly. I really enjoyed decorating the house though. The decorations are still up cos i think they're really pretty and they make me happy! And we have lots of new year cookies and oranges left. I can finish them slowly and reminisce the beauty of cny then....

***

On feb 4 was rock for good! I found out they needed a photographer the night before at like 10 plus... so i jumped at the chance. I have to make up my photog hours anyway, because im missing so much now that ringers is on tuesday too.

It was definitely one of the more exciting photog assignments i've done. I got to go in to the hall during the soundcheck to take pics, but it was REALLY LOUD. Like bam bam bam bam. Haha. You get the idea. Because they turn up the speakers as if there's the hundreds of people in there, but then during the soundcheck its only the band, the sound crew and the photographers.
Yeah, OW.

I got some really cool pics during the soundcheck and the concert though! And the music was great. There was skyjuice, crossbred, west grand boulevard, the suns, ronin and electrico. And i got some really cool stuff. I bought a ronin shirt, the suns cd and 2 electrico pop badge thingies. I would have got a ronin cd if there was an alternative cover picture....

Then i got to meet some really cool people too! I saw amanda and asked for her autograph. She's really pretty. And i took a picture with david the lead singer of electrico. He's really nice. And i helped xuefen and haiyiu and some other people take pics with the band members too. Was a real cool night.

***

Then yesterday i met chialynn at cine. Helped her take a photo with shan and jamie. yay!
I think chialynn is photogenic!
Jamie is so nice and bubbly. And emporio armani city glam smells so good...

After that chialynn wanted to use her isetan vouchers, so we walked to isetan. Or what we thought was isetan. We were talking about lots of random things so we actually walked into taka thinking it was isetan the whole time. It was only when she was trying to pay for the cool billabong cap with her isetan vouchers that we realised when the lady said "Zhe li bu shi isetan! Shi takashimaya!" It was kinda embarassing but really funny.... haha.
Chialynn bought a pair of nice smiley-faced striped socks though! Ask her to show you!

She came to my house for dinner after that. My gran cooked up something yummy like she always does.

Chialynn said "squishy" was one of her preferences.
It's really special (: Then we wondered about...

"Hi I'm Bond, James Bond. And you are?"
"Squishy."

And then we were on the com when i said "hey that's you" to her "Away" msn figure
When she went

WHERE?! *pluck* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Chialynn's green ipod rocks. Discovered how good deathcab by cutie are (:

***

I should go now. There is school tomorrow and i havent finished my homework. What a sad note to end on... i'll think of something happy to say.

There we go...

I LOVE YOU

(At the heart of a fighter bible class on friday, kelvin said we should tell people that if we mean it, cos we're all special and other people are too. I think you're special. Yay. )

BSB <3

2006-01-20T22:15:00.000-08:00

2006-01-17T21:00:00.000-08:00

Ode to 17, the number i love.

17.
My beloved register number
And distinguishing factor between michelle yeo and michelle yeo.
To keep ourselves and everyone from going insane.

17.
The magazine
The only one in the rgs library i ever read
From cover to cover. (Scientific american :/ too cheem )

17
The birthday
Of a very special DJ
Who turns your skies to blue from gray
So tune in to 987 today!
(And tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!)

2006-01-16T20:30:00.000-08:00

Happy birthday jan!
love ya lots (:
open the file soon ok? if not it'll be outdated. haha

Midnight exactly!

2006-01-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

HA! Cool. It's midnight exactly now.
The manu vs. mancity match today was sad...
Manu lost to man city 1-3. Aaaah.
And poor poor ronaldo. Something happened to him, but I don't know what, because i could only follow the progress of the match while listening to Sonja on 987fm. Wish i still had ESPN.
Some of the listeners are so cute. They message Sonja updates about the match, which is great for sad espn-less people like me. I think heidi fell asleep... haha.

And finally, finally. World cup is starting in June. I remember when it ended in 2002, i had withdrawal symptoms. But good thing there was PSLE so there was definitely something to concentrate on and divert my attentions from the world cup. All of us who really missed the world cup felt that 4 years was a really long time... and it really felt like it was taking forever for the world cup year to come round again. But now that the world cup is only 5 months away.. it wasn't really that long after all right? Ah i'm happy. Even better, it's being hosted by Germany this year! I'm going to support Germany and England again, like last time. And ronaldo. Because he's a wonderful cacaracha.

Did you also notice that the world cup comes in all the milestone examination years of the people born in 1990? First 2002: PSLE, then 2006: O Levels (Which is what i was sort of worried about, but now because of RP, it won't be O Levels but RP sec 4 exams. Don't be fooled by them not being called O Levels. They're equally important. If we flunk them we can't get to RJ. Aah!) 2010: Tertiary exams (Well for girls only i guess. Cos guys will have had NS.)

I've just had a big shock cos i heard my parents singing lao shu ai da mi. Which was really strange because... its just strange. I went to investigate in their room and it was because they were watching the new karaoke channel 1 on cable. Its the 3 day free trial period now! And i think i kind of like it. But its all in chinese. Wish there were english songs too. Like fifty-fifty. That would be a good mix. Maybe we'll subscribe. Its a good way to learn chinese! Especially to practice reading fan ti because of songs from taiwan. AND, this year we're taking higher chinese Os. Aaah. Haha. But i've got a really good teacher this year. I think if i really give it my best shot i've got a good chance. It's really about listening in class, doing all the work properly and reading... revising..speaking....listening... well everything you can possibly do, in your own time.

My parents are still going strong. I think they're loving the karaoke channel too.
Maybe we can guest-star on the fairly odd parents. Hey no sniggering i like that show!

403 taitais

2006-01-05T20:11:00.000-08:00

3 down, lots more to go.
Its the third day of school now and i'm still going strong!
There's only been one small problem.
Today was the first day of lessons and i wrote 4th january on all my worksheets!
Gah.
At least i've already got into the rhythm of writing 2006. I havent' written 2005 subconsciously yet. Not once! I'm so proud of myself (: It must mean i'm gaining at least minimal prescence of mind.

The first day of school was quite good. I think it rained. Have you noticed it always rains on the first day of school? I really don't think the skies are mourning for students across the country though. School is a good thing okay. (No offence to school haters. *wink*)

Oh no i can't remember what we did. Err...
Oh right. Lots of speeches. Yeah. That about sums it up.
Morning assembly with welcome back greetings, speech about bringing our thermometers today to check up on "the state of possesion of our thermometers"....(mine is good by the way)... speech about the cca leaps system... contact time with speech by form teacher and cle teacher (clet)... And i think that's what we did on the second day of school too. More contact time and CLE. We've got our sec 2 teachers again for form teacher, and our chinese teacher last year for clet. All our teachers are pretty good this year. I'm gonna miss patrick and mr toh though... they were really good!

We don't really know where the old book is, so with the spirit of the founders xuefen, sherie and mich 34, started a new notebook for the 303 taitai association. But of course, we're called the
403 taitais now.
To follow our tradition, we used one of the free diaries/planners that we got a school. This year we're using the "kNOw drugs"planner. I think its really cool (Use it well!)

We've even got taitai names. Arie's is hilairous. Mrs Butterknife. Charlene is Mrs Saltshaker, Xuefen is Mrs Teapot and by the time i say that i'm Mrs Chopstick you're probably going to think we're all off our rockers. Honestly you may be right. Haha

So now since we've got our names, our positions, our ground rules and our list of "101 convenient excuses for lateness"going, i think we've got off to a pretty good start. Right now we've got a beautiful future ahead. There are still more members to recruit, more teas to have, more charities to support and more shoes to buy! So until then, love your taitais and love yourself...

Toodles!

( Disclaimer: Do take it all with a pinch of salt. We really are women of ambition. ^-^)

31st December 2005

2005-12-31T20:50:00.000-08:00

That's the last date i am writing that ends with 2005.
And about 1 and a half hours ago was the last 2005 sunset.
This past year has been really eventful but still, its all flown by quite fast.
To end of this year with a bang, i decided to be a little bit more no holds barred today.

And this morning, the last morning of the year, my mum let me sleep to my hearts content.
So i woke up at 11.15. Normally i really dont like to wake up after 11 because i'll feel kind of terrible after that. But i felt kind of good today. Sort of enjoyed feeling like a lazy bum for a while. Haha. BUT i did sleep late last night.
Last night was the youth thanksgiving party. Had a really good time (: Must say that i was a good opportunity to reflect on how blessed we've been all our lives.

We went to centrepoint for lunch today and had fish & co. We've never done that before haha. I've only ever had dinner there. AHA even though it is the last day of 2005, there's still ample time for a lot more firsts. There's still 3 and a half hours left!

There was a mango and zara sale today. i dont think i've been to mango and zara on the same day before.. hmm so that can be a first too. Oh and i got the "6 pieces" tag when i went to zara today. First time i reached the limit for the number of pieces you can take into the fitting room! ((: Oh and first time i've ever brought 6 things into the fitting room. EVER

And i did something else unplanned today. I re-pierced my ears!
Our friend Joanne at the great world city goldheart did it for me. She's really good. She's done piercings more than a 100 times so go to her if you want to pierce your ears. You'll be in good hands. The goldheart chairs are really nice too so that's a bonus. Oh yeah you get nice grape candy and the goldheart water bottle too (:

I've been using this blogskin for more than a year now. I really didnt want to change it because i er, like it a lot. Yes. Even though its one of those default ones. I especially the dark green background. It's soothing on the eyes. BUT i decided that i shall change it today. Or sometime soon. Once i surgically detach my sentimentality from it. (Is there such a word???)

Listening to the 987 top 100 countdown. They're down to number 17 now. Linkin park with Numb. BEP were no. 19 and 18. yeah man. Really have no idea who no. 1 will be though. Let it be sunday morning by Maroon 5!

Ah.. numb has ended and mr lonely is next. The 987 top 100 is being hosted by the listeners this year, which is all good, but why do they let someone who says "aircon" instead of "Akon" go on air???

Later will be SHANsky and HUTCH from 10pm to usher in the new year. Hurrah.
Happy new year everybody!

2005-12-25T23:30:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I'm enjoying the last half an hour of Christmas Day.

Love ya

My inner child is sixteen years old!

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.

Love is a mystery
Love is meant to be true
Love is a part of me
Love is the heart of me
Love is the best thing we do

sisterhood of the sisterhood-phobics

2005-12-17T17:07:00.000-08:00

Heidi thinks sisterhoods are kind of creepy so she proposed that we form our own sisterhood:
The Sisterhood of the Sisterhood-phobics. Gah haha.

Hurrah! I finished reading the 2nd summer of the sisterhood on tuesday i think.. the day after i got it. Wonder why kinokuniya didnt have the 3rd one though. I think the first book was still better though. And the movie was really good. I hope they make one for the 2nd book.

Anyway... here's an appetiser...
(Something to do in the last 2 weeks of the hols: Watch the sisterhood of the travelling pants movie! )

A slice of life moment...
Bailey: Maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us you know, being happy isnt having everything in your life being perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things like wearing these pants, or getting to a new level of Dragon's Lair. Making those count more then the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it. And that's all we can ask for.

How to talk to an irritating little kid...
Tibby: How old are you, anyway? 10?
Bailey: I'm 12!
Tibby: Same thing.
Bailey: No, when I was 10 I didn't have an iPod

The answering machine has an attitude...
Tibby: Hey, it's Tibby. Here comes the beep. Hope you know what to do with it.

Carmen: I'm mad at my dad. Why is that so hard for me to see? I have no problem being mad at you.
Tibby:Cause you know I'll always love you no matter what.

That's what friends are for (:

Back from everything!

2005-12-12T21:42:00.000-08:00

Last update was 15 november. That is almost an entire month ago. Haha. Cool.

But i know it's not really cool because it is irritating to go to a blog that hasn't been updated in a long time. yes. bad michelle.

It feels like a long time since school ended. I think it's been 5 weeks. A lot of things have happened but it still feels like time has passed really fast. well, time flies when you're having fun!
Actually, i think that i subconsciously look forward to the year-end holidays ALL YEAR. Right from the first day of school. Even though i like going to school. It's just really exciting to be having school holidays because you can do almost anything you want! Provided you don't get over-ambitious right before the holidays and sign up for a whole bunch of lesson things that you might possibly regret when you realise you haven't left any time for bumming around the house.
But back to the subject of school . Sec 3 is over now. SEC 3 IS OVER NOW. It means that i will be in sec 4 next year. Man, i feel old. Is it just me or does anyone suddenly feel they're about to go over the hill??? I guess it does sound overly dramatic, but for someone like me who thought they would be forever 15 this is a big thing. But don't worry. I think i will grow out of it by year end.

I think it's time to reflect on the past 5 weeks of the holidays. Slightly more than half of the holidays have passed... so yes, this is a good time i think.
Week 1 and 2: Spent cleaning house, watching tv, reading and bumming around.
Week 3 and 4: Youth camp! and italian adventure (:
Week 5: Now (: To spend: Reading, cleaning, studying

I'm suddenly very happy now because i've been filled with all the happy memories i've had so far. This is nice. Reminds me of what Uncle Lee Hock taught us at youth camp; think of something happy right before you sit down for a lesson so that you'll be in a good mood to pay attention, and then you can study less at home because you've retained more. And i think it works! Cos right now, right before lessons or long speeches and things, we sit down dreading it and being unhappy. Which really doesn't help matters at all does it? So i guess being in the right frame of mind is important. This does seem very common-sensical. But most of the time we don't actually do these things unless someone tells us to. So i'm grateful.

I just got lots of books today when i went to taka. First i got the 2nd summer of the sisterhood and the food of love (which revolves around italian cooking. score!) with my kinokuniya book vouchers. Then i went to the library and saw that you can get a free pride and prejudice bookmark if you borrow 8 books. So i went in and borrowed 8 books. I have to admit it was largely because i wanted a Keira Knightley bookmark. But then i saw thay they had Shopaholic Ties the Knot and so i had a less guilty reason to go borrow books. In the end, they ran out of keira knightleys, but i got one of the male actor whose name i do not yet know but will soon because i wanna watch pride and prejudice. I considered going to the bookdrop round the back to return some of the random books i borrowed. But i figured that they might think all i wanted was the bookmark if i borrowed 8 books and returned 5 in the next 10 minutes.

Oh yeah i almost forgot. After 3 years, im finally done with my braces. It was kind of sad to take them off after 3 years because i've had them for so long, but kind of happy at the same time because there will be no more fuss and things. You can actually keep your braces but i decided not too because its a bit gross isn't it. But mostly, im not sure what i'll do with it. I can't possibly put it on display or keep it in a bottle by my bedside so i can kiss it goodnight right?

Time to go. I'm off to change my bedsheets (: More adventures await!

DANCE DANCE

2005-11-15T23:26:00.000-08:00

Fall out boy rocks. (:

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out, "A joke of a romantic," stuck to my tongue
Weighted down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "It can't get much worse" vs. "No one should ever feel like..."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

(We're going into D-Minor)

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance
This is the way they'd love if they knew how misery loved me

4 days to goffie!

2005-11-13T23:22:00.000-08:00

YESSS!!
Only 4 days left till i get to watch GoF! goffie goffie goffie. (i think if you say it enough it might turn into foggie)
oh im high (:
YAY. we're going to watch it on thursday!
But some people got to watch it today because they were famous and invited or they won tickets from 987 or something to go to the gala premiere. See my green eyes flashing. hmph
HAHA.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that all the media hype surrounding GoF is mostly about the 3 of them,katie leung, robert pattinson, clemence poesy and stanislav ianevski?
Well they are interesting of course but I wonder why they don't talk about the actress who plays parvati patil and actors like the ones who play filch, snape, mcgonagall, dean, seamus, neville and so on who've been in all the movies too. See i don't even know their names now!
Anyway, i've found some stuff to help create the mood before going to watch the movie.
Visiting the harry potter website and the MEGA pottertastic section on CBBC is great fun.

HURRAH! exams are over. Actually they've been over for a while now. Since last friday i think?
It's nice to have time to do what i want now.

Between last friday and now.. i've tried to clean my room, scared myself silly by watching csi, got a blue-black bottom from cycling (but it was still FUN), did flag day for the singapore lifesaving society (yes, a lot of people dont really know what it is either), watched transporter (another cool luc besson show!), watched sisterhood of the traveling pants (YAY), got exam papers back, laughed, cried and the list goes on.

I remember i used to go blog surfing a bit last time. And i stopped cos i thought going to a blog and seeing that it hasnt been updated in a long time is kind of depressing. I promised myself i wouldnt end up with a sad depressing blog. But i guess that's what it's been for the past one month.. ah well. Things got pretty crazy around the time of my last post.
Some PT things, CMPS preparation, CMPS competition, studying for eois, EOIs. ahahaha

I'm glad that's all done now. CMPS was pretty good. Can't wait till colorado next year! I think we've got about 8 months to prepare for the finals. And i hope SPLASH, the other group gets to go too! Had a great time with them when we went to sydney together... ahhh they MUST MUST go too. And factoring the time constraints and everything, im quite happy with my results. Well most of them anyway.

Short term goal: CLEAN ROOM. gah
