AR-TI-CU-LA-TION
I FINALLY received praise from a Chinse teacher!!! Hahaha...first time in say...5 years. What's MORE, it's for ORAL!!! (for those who don't know, I got a PASS for my Os last year. And that's BAD btw.) Hahahaha!! My chinese teacher says my reading passage is not bad!! One of the better ones in class. SO. I have come to the conclusion that either I'm really okay, or my class is lousy. =/
And I'm so touched that you know, joel thinks that I'm a happy laughy crazy person. HAHA! I don't wanna go around looking like some bulldog. But joel...I can't exactly bully the person who bullied me. To put it subtly, it's a person who if you are rude to, you stand a good chance of being sent to a very important person's office. So...yea.
Met Emily and Tallie today for breakfast!! Darn. I really miss them.

school BULLIES are NOT to be tolerated.
How NICE. People, I've been BULLIED!!!!! Where are my supporters?? I am darn PISSED. But sorta admonished at the same time. AND embarassed. PLUS indignant. Try ADDING MAD. Especially mad. Since it was not TOTALLY MY FAULT, and she didn't HAVE to do it. It's just too bad defaming about anyone without having to conceal their names has been BANNED. At the same time, the third party who scolded me had a good point. So, I'll, you know. Be reasonable. Our DEAR 2nd party on the other hand (make that somebody else's hand please. I'm not going to SOIL either of mine.), had to make a fool out of me, and I was just trying to do my JOB. Granted, we were ABIT non-discreet, but even so, we weren't even exactly screaming for attention. SHE spoiled my day.
The GREAT result of this particular incident, only serves to confirm my suspicions that I had made a disastrously WRONG decision at the beginning of the year. Please, I'm not saying that I'm not wrong. I've even admitted that we WERE a little rude, but....

Cafe CARTEL, oh-so-spacious SKIRTS.
CLASS OUTING!!! Hahaha...too bad so many people couldn't make it...sad-ded. But it was still fun!! Plus we got to see Si Rong and Zhi Tang again...1st three months classmates! It was so exciting can!! Hahaha...anyway. Cafe Cartel's combo servings are for people who have extremely big stomachs. I was nearly DYING by the time I got to my last chicken wing. While Wen Yang happily starved and kept his hopes up that we girls will pass him our extras. Yeah RIGHT. By the time we were done, our skirts were STRETCHED to the limit. For the first time in our JC lives. HA! Like so no space can.
Too bad Abby, Noriko, Shalynn and Xiuru left first... the rest of us happily took photos at the bus stop. Hahaah...laughed like hell cos we were all trying our best to STRETCH our arms so that everybody can be in the pic. Finally asked this army guy to help us take a photo, but what did he do? SHAKE. So one of the pictures turned out blur. But it was nice of him anyway. Thanks...
What the HELL?! I'm trying to upload the photos...and the stupid com is not co-operating. @#$%^&*!

Unglamness is my first, middle and last name
AIYEEEEEEE!!! HAHA! I'm FINALLY back to commiting acts of unglamness! Not that I love doing it mind, it just spices up my life. Which is kind of SAD, come to think of it. But no matter! I am baaaaccckkkk!! On deeper philosophical musing, this just might boil down to the fact that I was deprived of crappy friends. Hence, I conclude that I am suffering from a severe deficiency of crappiness, crapkoshiokar. (yours truly is the first to be suffering from this rare disease and would therefore have the honor of naming the ailment.)
ANYWAY. PE. Was nothing short of hilarious. I, the paladin, the superwoman, did unimaginably stupid things that caused some people to die laughing. Your honor, I am guilty. Fine. Spare the theatrics. We had to run our 2.4km thingy today. And guess what, ME, being hopelessly practical, saw on my last round around the maddeningly monotonous track that I had LOTS of time to spare. SO. The fact being so...I allowed myself to SAUNTER across the finishing line starting 20m away from it. This, of course, being such a STUPID action, caused one of the teachers to reproach me, albeit laughingly. "You think you go SHOPPING is it?!" Whee. I'm sorreee....
I wanna go watch J.J.!!! Aiyo (notice that the auntie side of me is invaribly surfacing?), Jin Yan, made me so excited la...tell me that he's performing on fri (JJ ok? NOT Jin Yan although I'm sure he's a very good flautist...)...then, WOW. I can't go, taking into consideration the fact that I'm NOT a SAJCian (some people just HAVE to rub in that fact =x). URGH.

confessions of a sarcastic dumbo
Which is yours truly by the way. Referring to me, for those who are truly members of the dumbo group. I of course, being a smart october baby, (all of us are like super smart, beautiful, sarcastic, lovable people) am just PRETENDING to be in the dumbo group. But what the hell.
I confess that I have been rather mean towards SOME people (who my readers don't know, but i'm mentioning anyway). In a rather sarcastic manner. Um. Ok la. Granted, I am sarcastic to EVERYBODY. Just in different dosages. SO. Imagine my usual dash of sarcasm, multiplied by about 10. Yep. That's how sarcastic I was about 2 certain pretty ladies. Not gonna identify them, in case they decide to decapitate me or something, but I think they're pretty incapable of doing that. Considering the fact that Singapore is very very stringent about murder. (too bad, girls =p) Anyway, it's not my fault that they positively BEG for my royal sarcasticness. (there has to be a moral somewhere, but for my life I can't figure out what it is.)
And I miss ALOT of my friends. I spent the whole day grinning like some spastic idiot just because I was reminicising about all the fun times we all had together. DRAT.

War of the Words
I just love my titles nowadays. Gone are the times when my titles imply nought. I am at home, all by my lonely self, thinking of what might have been if I had put in a little bit more effort. I won't be wallowing in self-pity and yada yada. Today's speech day for Temasek Sec, and, as mentioned in my previous post, I am not receiving anything, which does nothing to improve my mood. 10 marks or so. URGH. And THEN I'll get 9 points for my Os, and might even be in...well. Enough reminiscising. Darn. Just thinking of all those proud parents sitting there watching their children collect their rewards for all their hard work, and what are my parents doing? Sitting at home shaking their legs.
Today. Well, it's the day of many an important occasion, one of which is mentioned above. Another important occasion is occurring right now...the unofficial stepping down of the band leaders. Well! It's time for yet another stressed up junior to have the problems of the section thrown upon them. Good luck to all of you potential leaders out there!! You have alot to live up to...the current leaders are one of the best, I should think. I'm not sure. But I know Mish is doing a great job. Whether the section co-operated with her or not, it's another matter. MISH!! Read this ok. Hahaha...and MAYVES. Good luck for next year.
Gosh. I feel so old. It's like you've seen all these juniors grow up before your very eyes...you remember the times when they just joined the band, and were going "what's this note?? Could you hand me a pencil please? I need to write down the letter." And now, they spout things like "I think you're flat. And your rhythmn is wrong. Please do something about it." GOSH. I'm soooooo OLD.

livin' up to my rep!
YEAH!! Oh well...must live up to my happy-go-lucky reputation!! Abit contradictory to the philosophical post prior to this one, but please note that those kind of posts come only once in a blue moon...
By the way. Just a random comment. SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO SHUT UP. This sounds just a tinny itsy bit angry (I heartily assure you that I'm not), but visualize me saying this with my usual funny face. Please lor. How can I be angry?? :)
Econs. One of the things that make me go "zzzzZZZZZZZZZ.....HUH? OH. UM....Let me think...psst! What's her question??" LOL! It's such a terrible subject. I have NO idea why I took it up in the first place. People, I sincerly appeal out to all those whose understanding in economics is exellent, PLEASE help me. Or I'll just FAIL my tests all the way to A levels and DIE. Ugh. So melodramatic. Heh.
On the other end of the academic spectrum, GP ROCKS. Like TOTALLY!!! I mean it okay. I'm not being sarcastic. I love GP lessons 'cos I can just crap my way through and sound intelligent at the same time. Cool right. :)

Am I sane?! Am I human?!
The most pressing issue in my mind. I went for a home visit today, and got the chance to mingle with the old folks in the home. The old men we were interacting with are suffering from schizophrenia. A mild form I suppose. All of them were pretty friendly, in a roundabout, non-verbal way. They looked fragile, which most of them were, but some mangaged to have a mischeivious twinkle in their eye. I was at a loss as to how to approach them, are you supposed to talk to them as an adult, or as a child?? Their mental capabilities, I have no clue. I have no indication as to their frame of mind to work with, I cannot respond to unresponsiveness. All the others shamed me; they were kind, and caring to them, and I stood aside, helpless. Am I human? I don't seem to be able to muster any kind nature of any sort....
People, don't think too lowly of me. I must reflect on myself once in a while; I am not perfect, I have too many flaws. This post IS a little emotional, but it is necessary.

hmm...oh really??
| You Are Skiing |
Graceful, athletic, and gusty - you're willing to put it all on the line.
You're willing to take big risks for big rewards. |
| What Your Sleeping Position Says |
You are calm and rational.
You are also giving and kind - a great friend.
You are easy going and trusting.
However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games. |
Hmm...not bad! It's actually true to a CERTAIN EXTENT. A rather large extent really. HA!
| Your Personality Is |
Rational (NT)
You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.
You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!
Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.
In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.
You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.
Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.
In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.
At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.
With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.
As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.
On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things. |
NOW. This is a little whatchamaycallit? Dubious. Tell me if it's true.

pimples = stress
The title happens to apply to me by the way. So sad right?? Imagine if I were one of the many teenagers who kill themselves becaause of stress. I'll die PIMPLY. OMG.
DARN. I totally forgot what I was supposed to blog about. Oh well. Let's just talk nonsense while I ponder. Oh yes. I just completed this psychometric profiling thing. 270 questions.
270. Urgh. What's most irritating is that they basically ask the same questions in every section, albeit rephrased in another way. To maintain consistency I guess. But STILL.
OH YA. I've been doing alot of unglam stuff in TJ. Don't ask me why ok?? It's just ME. I have fairly thick skin. HA! Take for example...I was walking along the corridor with my friends...talking about standing broad jump (which alot of people seem to have problem with)...anyway, to illustrate, I did a SMALL little HOP. And landed with a loud "PIAT!" on the floor. The teacher in front jumped with shock (pardon the pun), turned around, and STARED. By then, of course I was looking all innocent and well, innocent. URGH.

building castles in the air....
Right. Since I'm abnormally feeling rubbishy today...I shall attempt to map out my future in the most ridiculous and impossible-that-it-would-ever-happen way.
Results for the A levels:
Chinese A1 (OMG!!! GASP!!! hahaha)
Econs A (I don't know if this is possible or not)
The rest I don't wanna think about. Anyway. AFTER my As...I'll go to CHINA. And get a MASTERS in CHINESE. (OMG. This is SO...NOT going to happen. No offence to the Chinese of course. It just so happens that I'm not exactly proficient in this particular subject) And after that, I'll come back to Singapore, and revolutionize the Chinese syllabus!! YAY!!! YEAH. RIGHT.
Seriously. If I were to go to a university locally (see whether got enough money go overseas first), I would go to SMU. Because...I live in BEDOK. NUS, and NTU, happen to be in CLEMENTI AND JURONG. Get it?

$ money matters $
I've wanted to do this since the beginning of the year. But since it'll look so much more impressive at this point of time (read, spent alot more money), i figured it'll make a bigger impact on people like joel, who'll be going to SAJC in 2 years time. Incidentally, SAJC's uniform costs more than TJ's (hint), but oh well. You have to pay for NICE things. Oh well. Hmph.
Expenses so far:
Pipette filler (the pump pump thing): $6.50
Test-tubes (15): $7.50
Scapel and Forceps (for bio ok? I'm not gonna be delivering any babies anytime soon. My dad was joking about this, so don't think I'm lame.): $5.30
Lecture Notes: $53.75
House Fund (I don't know what the hell this is for btw): $11.00
Calculator: $173
CNY Carnival tix: $5.00
Mardi Gras tix: $5.00
Uniform: $79.50 (I think)
Dragon Boating: $7.00
Total Expenses in 3 months (and counting): $353.55
The WHOPPING amount of money spent!! OMG OMG...My father is getting poorer and poorer, soon I'll be calling up the General Office to tell them I'll be quitting school and will be working as a cleaner to earn some money. It's almost $1 a day for a year!!! @#$%^&*! Why is JC so expensive. I am NOT a money tree.
