Where I've Been

2009-12-04T14:20:00.032+08:00

DAY 1 – Fly little bug

Checked in our luggage and met our tour guide, Cassandra Oh. Then went to immigration counters where my relatively new passport allowed me to use the wicked awesome automated system. Then sat around and waited at various places till we finally boarded the plane.

Basically, the tour ‘cheated’ us of about two days due to the long travelling. This ‘first day’ was really just being on an airplane. Sleeping. Really, I don’t mind, it’s been the longest airplane ride I’ve ever been on and sleeping on an airplane seat gives really bad neck aches, but I like the travelling.

Stopped at Dubai for an hour, during which I woke up, and started to watch (500) Days of Summer, and a little bit of The Time Traveler’s wife. The latter show was rather… boring, but (500) Days of Summer was a definitely a most brilliant show with a very nice soundtrack and also the pretty Zooey Deschanel. There was also this beautiful rainbow coloured sunrise that was behind the plane. It’s stuff like these that make me love the travelling, not just the destination.

DAY 2 – Istanbul! Ancient walls, with ancient halls and sacred carpet on sacred floors all hidden behind heavy doors… (Yay rhyming!)

This happened immediately after we landed. We met with the local tour guide, Burhan Coskun, and our bus driver, Mr Izzet – I think these people have awesome names. Anyway, it was rather cold outside, but we got into the bus all toasty, and headed for our first destination, which was the Blue Mosque.

We had to take off our shoes and wear this plastic foot cover thing. I wish I had a chance to see it when it was less crowded.Walked over to the hippodrome, an ancient stadium of which only a few monuments remain

And then went to Tokopi Palace, which used to belong to the sultans, and it houses one of the world’s biggest diamond.

Walked along their quaint cobbled streets to reach the restaurant where we had a nice Mediterranean lunch. By now we have realized that Turkey is a cat country, where the stray cats aren’t afraid of people and occasionally get petted. I didn’t touch them due to my mom’s OCDness about stray animals. D=

Unfortunately, as we arrived on a Monday, Aya Sofya was closed, thus we swapped the plans. Instead of visiting the Grand Bazaar, a famous Turkish market, on the last day at Istanbul, we went today. It was filled with shops selling basically the same stuff, and very insistent shopkeepers. I’ve also learnt how extremely sweet Turkish dessert was. Everything appeared to be soaked in syrup, and was really sticky. Like their chocolate mosaic cake. At the other end of the spectrum is their coffee which was dreg filled and bitter as hell. Many of those shops sold these things called evil eyes, that were supposed to bring good luck. *shrugs*

Then we went to the bus and headed off for Cannakale, another town where we would spend the night. After a long bus ride, followed by a ferry ride to the Asian side of Turkey in the darkness of roughly 5pm, and another bus ride, we arrived at Iris Otel (Iris hotel), where we had a Mediterranean buffet dinner and then slept.

DAY 3 - Ancient Day. But it's Ancient Rome, anything goes. (xD)

Breakfast at the hotel, and by now I have learnt that Turkish food consisted of a lot of cheese. You want cheese? Not really, I kinda had enough, seriously, thanks. They had cheese that looked like butter, like tofu, and even like potato.

But the hotel had a wonderful view of the Marmaran sea (or at least that’s the sea I think it was… maybe it was the Bosphorous or Agean sea, I can’t recall).

Then a bus ride off to the ancient city of Troy

There are seven cities built upon each other. And yes, that's a replica of the Trojan Horse. I can only say wow. Because I lack better descriptions. And a thesaurus.

Travelled to lunch at another buffet with basically the same type of food, then off to Acropolis

That's me sitting about two to three floors up in the air. Woots!

Then went to a Turkish produce shop where we bought tea and Turkish delights. And off again to our hotel for the night where we had another hotel buffet dinner.

DAY 4 - Clothes Crazy And ~~Rusty~~ Dusty Ruins

Woke up to another cheese-filled hotel buffet breakfast. We then went off to a leather factory outlets store. It is at this point where I must warn you that there will be much expounding on clothes in the next paragraph or so. If you happen to be rather allergic to girlish squealing over clothes, please skip over to the paragraph (highlighted in red) after the following chunk.

Well there were a lot of pretty coats, and my inner EGA went totally insane. While fellow tour members were rather neutral about it, I was totally OMGOMGOMG! That coat looks so tastylicious! *kyaaaaa* Like that, yes. The leather was made of lamb skin from the black sea region, and it was so soft, like my mom kept touching it. And so, my mother bought me a jacket. Seriously. She was like: This looks good on you, let’s get this one. And before I tell you the breaking news about the jacket let me describe it. It is reversible, black leather on one side, blue suede on the other, and it is a hoodie. But why describe when I can show you a picture?

There were other colours but I picked the blue one because it kind of reminded me of this jacket. Okay now for the OMGWTF moment: The price came up to more than 800 SGD, and my mom didn’t even bat an eyelid, I’ve never had clothes so freaking costly before and I’m still kind of O.O over it.

Okay, yes, hello to all you who have skipped over here to avoid the torrent of girlish insanity! We next visited what is believe to be Virgin Mary’s house when she was alived, unoriginally named Maryemana Evi (Mary’s House). I didn’t take pictures but my parents did.

There was also three springs of holy water, so I washed my hands in one, drank one, washed my face in another. It was a little cold, but it felt really good and there was sunlight. There’s just something about sunshine in winter, gives an almost magical feeling. In fact it got so warm later that I didn’t have to wear any jacket. We also ate some local bread that is quite delicious.

Then went to the ruins of Ephesus which was just downhill

Nike, Goddess of Victory

Ancient communal toilets.

That's an ancient library, wonderful, isn’t it? Even the brothel right across from the library (you read that right), there was also an ancient advertisement for it. (The following two picture.)

I love the anachronistic nature of this scene, having a crane at an ancient site.

And while we are here, let me show you something quite… epic:

We went for another lunch buffet, which served the same limited selection as everywhere else. Also although most Turkish public bathrooms are rather clean (Very clean as compared to some others I’ve been to in China and Vietnam and Malaysia), this one had a sight that was just quite… disturbing, I’ll just spare the guys and not talk about it.

We went off to take a look at the temple of Artemis of which only a column remains

Long trip to Pamukkale (or Cotton Castle), formed when a natural spring deposited calcium carbonate. The water was warm despite the cold afternoon air temperature, and the teen in the tour group had a sort of bonding time in the water, which had lichens growing on the side.

We got our butts wet, but it was off to the bus and hotel we went.
The food was supposed to be the best at this hotel, but it was still the same stuff that we have most (all, actually) dinners. However, there was a nice atmosphere with some old guy playing some songs on a keyboard.

Post-dinner, my family went to the thermal pool in the hotel which was wonderfully warm. Although the shower caps we had to wear were oh-so-ugly. Slept in the nice hotel after watching a little bit of MTV (German version, although the programs still had their original English audio).

DAY 5 - We're Off To See The Wizard!

Honestly, we spent most of today on the bus, travelling to Cappadocia (Kappadokya). I mean doesn’t the name just sound beautiful? I think I could just repeat it over and over again. We stopped by Pamukkale again for photos on our way out, because we couldn’t take very good shots at night, but the morning was freezing cold.

So, bus. Inland. To Oz Cappadocia. Finished reading 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson along the way, which, fittingly, is about a girl who leaves America to travel Europe based on some instructions her dead aunt had left for her.

Our bus got stopped along the way for speeding, and I must mention that Turkey’s highway traffic system is rather scary, with cars going on to the roads meant for the opposite direction just to overtake the car in front of them. The road was also rather foggy in the morning. We passed by a spot with smoke streaming into the sky sometime before lunch.

Lunch was at this old inn meant for travelers, conserved into a restaurant. Lunch was, for once, not a Mediterranean buffet, and very delicious.

Went to Mevlana museum, where we had to wear plastic bags over our feet and the women had to keep their heads covered.

Then back on to our drive towards Cappadocia, where we had buffet dinner at our hotel again, and slept because we had a long day ahead.

DAY 6 - Cappadocia!

Those who opted for it started the day really early with a balloon ride:

We went up a whole kilometer into the air, but it was bloody cold. I also learnt that balloon landings are very bumpy things that cause bruises and a slightly chipped lens in my spectacles. We all received a certificate of riding a balloon afterward and drank some champagne later.

Went back to the hotel for breakfast where there was delicious chicken soup. We took a bus ride down to a jewelry shop, which specialized in onyx and also turquoise (Turkish Quartz, see?) The harem rings were really beautiful and I liked the meaning of one with sapphire and diamond. My mom bought herself a reversible (see the theme here?) ring with turquoise and sapphire.

Proceeded to a picturesque site for… well, pictures. Apparently this was where they filmed some parts of Star Wars I

Continued on to a carpet viewing, where the nice lady let me try putting a knot in one of the carpets. =DD.

We didn’t buy any though, because none of them flew.

Off to lunch at this cave restaurant called Uranos Sarikaya which was accompanied by live music from this gu zhen-like instrument. The restaurant was literaly built into the mountain.

It was an open air museum next, where Christian monks and nuns used to stay

Then off to an underground city with extremely cramped tunnels, which people used in times of danger to hide from their attackers.

After that, while my parents went off to the optional Turkish bath, my brother and I went back to the hotel to shower before dinner. After which, we went off to this folk-dance and belly dance show. Suffice to say, the folk dancers dragged the audience out to join them in the dance and it was very fun. Also, some of the belly dancers were very yummy-scrumptious-tastylicious-looking. There was this Brazilian belly dancer with Egyptian training whose control was so awesome, and her arms were so muscular, I swear, from her profile, she looked like a long-haired guy.

The sky was really clear when we got back to the hotel, and I just looked up and spotted Orion before the cold weather forced me to make a run for the room.

DAY 7 - Long Way Home

It was a long bus ride to the capital of Turkey, Ankara, today, stopping by a valley for photographs before we headed off. It was so cold (about 3°C) there were frost over the tables and the shallow pool at the hotel had frozen over (above, taken right after breakfast), and all through that, I was only wearing two layer.

I wrote on the frost on the table. Sunshine =D

The road was so empty in the morning

We made another pit stop at Salt Lake for photos

Pretty, no? It’s like the entire horizon had disappeared. I’ve dirtied my boots too, rather unfortunately. Stopped at a restaurant for a lunch that is NOT BUFFET, and I swear, the whole buffet thing is kind of like SpagBol now. Totally bogus. When we finally reached the city of Ankara, we first visited the mausoleum of Atatürk.

Then a museum of ancient Turkish history, tracing the human life here starting from the Paleolithic age.

And it got dark and we went back to the hotel, which was very posh-looking. My brother and I watched Doctor Who (!!!) while waiting for the luggage to be brought up to the room, which took a long time. I think I'm starting to convert him into a fan, and I think I’m going to start chasing this show called Leverage, which I find rather smart. Also I seem to be running out of good connectors, because my thoughts tend to skip and without such connectors, the whole story seems rather… disjointed. Anyway, dinner was a nicer buffet, although it was still Mediterranean SpagBol.

DAY 8 - Go West~! (Okay, I won't throw old songs at you people)

Bus ride at the crack of dawn to Istanbul. Had a Chinese lunch there, and by god was I glad to see rice and soya sauce (wait what?) We then proceeded to walk over to Aya Sofya. Let the pictures say it all:

After that, while my father went off for a ferry cruise ride…

… my brother, my mother and I went to check in to the hotel.

Was it Disneyland? Was it Movie World? Heck no! This is Cartoon Hotel! For serious. It was decorated all over with cartoon characters, and though the rooms were pretty small, the furniture and interior design was fantabulous. Their corridors, though narrow, had lights that came on only when we entered the it. Kind of like our school toilets, but more sensitive.

The hotel was also situated close to Taksim Square, where my mom and I went out to shop and use up the money we had converted to Liras. We tried their roasted chestnuts (sold on the streets) which were much bigger, but also much… blander. The streets were really crowded with people.

Went back to hotel at about 5.45 pm, and on the way back, walked past these flowers shops with bouquets of daisies, and the most varied assortment of roses. Apart from the boring pink, white and red, they had them in green, purple, dark and pale blue. Well, we gathered at the hotel to head off to this Turkish Night dinner, with (again) folk dancers and belly dancers. I must say that the male folk dancers were really good, with obvious ballet training, as one of them was dancing en pointe and doing multiple pirouettes. I kept spiking my peach juice with copious amounts of my father’s red wine. My parents were fine with it though, they are okay with a ‘little bit’ of alcohol consumption.

Then back to the hotel again, where I watched a little bit of TV (and they were showing South Park on CNBC-E. No kidding) before I slept.

DAY 9+10 - Airfaring

Woke up for breakfast at 7, and then at 9 am, off to airport for return journey home. Maybe because I was mentally ready for a ten day journey, and this one was technically only about a week, so it doesn’t feel like I’m done travelling yet – although I do miss the food and people back home. What I liked most about being in Turkey was the long bus rides and the winter sunshine. Yes, I’m strange like that.

I hope I’ll get a chance to go back there someday, see Aya Sofya with all the restoration work completed. I’d also like to visit more of Europe, possibly during all the music fest period so I can backpack tag all these events and also famous historical/artistic places.

Amanda Palmer is a lyrical/musical genius

2009-06-16T21:45:00.002+08:00

Not an attempt to revive this blog, but I just really want to share a song because it is pure genius. This is a song from the album Who Killed Amanda Palmer, the solo album by Amanda Palmer, one half of the duo, the Dresden Dolls (who are also geniuses, check out coin-operated boy)

Oasis - Amanda Palmer

when I got to the party
they gave me a forty
and I must have been thirsty
'cause I drank it so quickly

when I got to the bedroom
there was somebody waiting
and it isn't my fault
that the barbarian raped me

when I went to get tested
I brought along my best friend
Melissa Mahoney
who had once been molested

and she knew how to get there
she knew all the nurses
they were all really friendly
but the test came back positive

oh, oh, I've seen better days but I don't care
oh I just sent a letter in the mail

when I got my abortion
I brought along my boyfriend
we got there an hour
before the appointment

and outside the building
there were all these annoying
fundamentalist christians
we tried to ignore them

oh, oh, I've seen better days but I don't care
Oasis got my letter in the mail

when vacation was over
the word was all over
that I was a crackwhore
Melissa had told them

and so now were not talking
except we have tickets
to see Blur in October
and I think were still going

oh, oh, I've seen better days but I don't care
oh I just got a letter in the mail

Oasis sent a photograph
its autographed and everything
Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear

new skin!

2008-08-29T23:11:00.001+08:00

Yay! changed skin.. looks abit horrible though... should do something about that...

teachers day 08

2008-08-29T16:18:00.002+08:00

Hello!

Yay! today was teacher's day, All wizard of Oz themed, and Dance Club put forth it's best to shine like a star during the performance.

OKay, not really, but we have really practiced hard and for long hours, kicking in extra practices, squeezing in free days and minutes, to make it work. And as far as I know: WE DID IT! Yeah! Even through the sweat (and some tears) we all gave our best, and the people to thank are the AMAZING SENIORS, especially Felicia, Mirabella, Altron, Marianne, and Angela, who have put in much effort to teach us the dance steps.

Hm... the other performers were great as well, the SC sang beautifully, a song called When Six Songs Collide originally by Norwegian Recycling... umm... as usual, I searched for a video on YouTube...

How Six Songs Collide - Norwegian Recycling

I swear that if we had to pay to embed a video from YouTube, they would have made a ton of money from me... Thanks guys at YouTube... whoever you are... bah.

The ending item was Over the Rainbow. Really nice stuff. Yup.

The dancers all got flowers from Gel. I'm not sure what flowers they are so yeah...

Anyway, making new blogskin, based on the song Love Love Love by Epik High.

What do I look like? The wizard of Oz? Need a brain? Need a heart? Go ahead. Take mine. Take everything I have.

2008-08-24T20:15:00.004+08:00

Bahhhh... I havn't posted in a week. psh... D=

Well, the past week has been peppered with commontests which i do not really wanna talk about.

Eh let's see...

Monday: nada
Tuesday: My chem titration results are SCREWED. VERY SCREWED.
Weds: Eh... oh yeah! AXIS! haha! stomp rockets! And then Su and I went to get YS's pencil case.
Thurs: Bah Bio lesson with Ms Lim... need I explain? Updated a Fanfic not DoTW. I'm still unsure where to go with that.
Fri: Dance. Love it. Love working my ass off. Love putting in as much as I can.
Sat: Extra Dance practice. Not the best, will be better. Lots of thanks to Altron and Felicia for coaching the steps. P.s I'll try to finish editing the song ASAP.

So... These days I've been getting writer's block. It's not so much writer's block as idea vomit. I swear, my brain is going in multiple directions at one, and I can't concentrate on a single thing, because when I want to focus on one, my brain runs off to churn another whole different idea. Really pisses me off. Reminds me of that ancient chinese excecution method. Bah.

I still havn't finished the door curtain I had already made one string of. I have two ideas for a blog skin. bah... Too-much-information alert.

Anyway, as always, there is a song I discovered. Yes, I realise this song is a year old, but I don't think this song is out in Singapore, and I think it totally deserves it.

Promise Ring - Tiffany Evans (ft. Ciara)

Found this on the Twilight Singapore site, utterly hilarious

Twilight trailer spoof:

I swear, these guys are good.

Anyways, nothing much to say, school's just busy busy busy, oh and i have sense of deja vu, because recently, something happened which just reminds me of the incident with the famous painting. You know what I'm talking about.

Put together the dance track ytd. quite crappy if you ask me.

bahh.. nothing else to add...

gotta go make bio notes. Commontest week. stress... >.<

BD and tv dramas

2008-08-11T18:47:00.002+08:00

I havn't posted in about more than a week have I?

But that's because I've been in a crazy fangirling state, and been quite busy with school work and stuff.

So first off... I got my copy of Breaking Dawn!!!! and although the plot was very unexpected in that it was extremely over expected, I still loved it!!!

So what have I been doing these past few days apart from fighting the homework monster?

Well, I've been watching episodes of Heroes S2 on channel 5, although I've already watched the entire volume 2 online, and volume 3 ain't out yet. I've also been trying to source for places to watch Pushing Daisies. I admit, I'm semi-hooked to that show. Just so cute and bright and grisly andmorbid and intriguing. Also, today, I've just started catching up on Charmed. I dunno what made me want to go and watch it. Well, no harm to it. Except it just eats up more portions of my pie of time.

Sigh, chinese spelling tomorrow, and also our math project is due tomorrow.

Anyway, want to share a song, I absolutely loved it ever since i heard it at the Breaking Dawn concert live streaming. This song will only be out March 2008/9, this is the first time it was ever played to the public. EVER. And if you were amongst the first to catch it CoughLikeMeCough then I'm pretty sure you fell in love with it when you heard it.

My Never - Justin Furstenfeld (Originally by Blue October)

Will you think of me, in time?
It's never my luck, so never mind
I wanna say your name, but the pain starts... again
It's never my luck, so never mind

I had a dream that you were with me. It wasn't my fault
You roll me over, flip me over, like a somersault
And that doesn't happen to me,I've never been here before
I saw forever in my never, and I stood outside her heaven

Will you wait for me, in time?
It's never my luck so I'll say never mind
And I've lost a lot of what I don't expect to ever return
I tend to push them until the pushing's gone from hurting to burn
I always take them to that place I thought they wanted to go
Then end up dancing around this clown commands applause out of show

I had a dream that you were with me, it wasn't my fault
You roll me over, flip me over, like a somersault
And that doesn't happen to me, I've never been here before
I saw forever in my never, and I stood outside her heaven (Her heaven)
Inside her heaven (Her heaven)

And I can only dream of you
And sleep and I'll never see sunlight again
I can try to be with you
But somehow I'll end up just losing a friend

And I can only reach for you, relate to you
I'm losing my friend
Where did she go? Where?

I had a dream that you were with me, it wasn't my fault
You roll me over, flip me over, like a somersault
And that doesn't happen to me, I've never been here before
I saw forever in my never, and I stood outside her heaven
Stood outside her heaven
Stood outside her heaven
Won't you let me into your heaven?

I love this song.

Beach run and Katy Perry

2008-08-01T19:51:00.003+08:00

Hello!

It's only a few more hours to BD!!! or about 2 days for us who don't live in North America. pshh

Anyways, had beach run today, came in like 56th. x.X

Hm... then went to ArtFriends to get some stuff and make the fanshirts! Oh, and the shirts look so freaking AWESOME.

Also, i'd like to introduce you to this artiste, her name is Katy Perry, and well i think she rocks. She had a single that was released in Singapore, but was subsequently banned by the MDA. Well, i'm going to share two of her songs here. I've already shared one previously. However, that was not the original video.

I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry

w00ts

Ur So Gay - Katy Perry

uh... cover your eyes little kids.

2008-07-28T21:13:00.003+08:00

Well, just an update on my life.

Saturday was the DSA camp, and it was quite fun, at my station at least. The pupils were to build the tallest stand-alone structure using 14 sheets of newspaper and a short length of masking tape only. Quite fun actually.

Then went shopping with SH and WR at Clementi and all the way to Orchard, Plaza Singapura, spotlight

Ytd, went to this very very very muy muy muy delicicous buffet at the Holiday Inn at Concord, you know, the old Concord hotel along at Kim Seng road. Very good fish, nice fresh food, and really good pasta and also cake. Ate till i was very very full. Lent Pendragon 9 to JR.

Today, mugged about in library, i've completed all homework that are to be due tomorrow (i hope) and yeah.

And on EW.com, there is an exclusive, Stephanie Meyer-approved spoiler, go read it if you dare.

Sigh, beach run this fri, and i still so horrible at running. pshhhh. But on the bright side... 5 more days! or 7 really, if you're talking about countries outside of North America.

22/7, hare hare yukai, and tomorrow

2008-07-23T21:57:00.004+08:00

I haven't posted in a while have I?

I guess it's because of my current fangirlish obsession with twilight, and also my ever increasing pile of homework. I don't even have enough time to develop the plot outline DD=

Oh, yesterday, our school celebrated pi-approximation day, because it was the 22nd of July. 22/7. So nerd.

Anyway, today there was a lesson swap, and so we were having physics prac today. Eh... dunno why, but i was really very angsty, and wanted to throw my correction fluid at the old ah pei. but couldn't so just held it in and close to went nuts.

Also, because dance had a lesson swap and W Lao Shi forgot, we didn't have lesson, instead, we practiced our teacher's day dance.

Annyways, supposed to make announcements tomorrow. I think.

And also there's PE tomorrow = NAPFA. Uh-oh. I nvr practice.

Oh I've already pre-ordered breaking dawn!!! And we're gonna go shirt shopping on Sat! wheee!

Okay, gotta go do homework.

2008-07-20T19:54:00.001+08:00

!!!!!!

Twilight is coming to Singapore Aug 4th!!!! (OMG! Founder's Day!)

It's a monday, and I wanna go queue up after school!

Found out from:

http://twilightsingapore.wordpress.com/

Yeah! Whee!!!!

Friday and BCP.

2008-07-19T15:39:00.004+08:00

It's a song from BCP so new that it isn't in the new album they just realeased.

Yes, in case you didn't know, they have already released their self-titled album.

It's Recreation, Not Suicide - Bella Cullen Project

And this is the MV for one of the songs on their album

Out of the blue - Bella Cullen Project

Uh yeah. Ohkay, so to the blog post.

Ytd, Timo just totally PWNed Ms Lim and proved her wrong. She knew she was wrong, she just didn't want to admit it and kept avoiding the topic. Oh and someone changed the "I ROCK! :]" someone wrote on the water feature to "I F*CK! :]". Oh, and the DSA camp shirt had medieval pron on it. o.O

Hm... dance was... let's just say it was interesting and had something to do with a rather well known dance from an anime.

Tadaa.. that's all for now.

pre-order Breaking Dawn/ Brisingr

2008-07-17T20:47:00.004+08:00

I will possess your heart

2008-07-17T15:48:00.004+08:00

Blogging from school, and I just want to share a song

I will possess your heart - Death Cab for Cutie

Tadaa... okay, i got to go. I have physics homework

2008-07-16T22:38:00.002+08:00

Sigh, I havn't updated in a while have I?

Nobody seems to be doing something for the report and it's due on Friday. sigh. Let's see, we were all playing Uno today, and we had the IDEAS thing, and I am still alive! We had this 're-enactment" of a pandemic virus spreading thing.

Hmm... and despite it's 2G RAM, the HPmini's processor is damned sslllooooowwww.... Sigh. And I was so lost in English class today, I basically didn't write anything. Guess I better get cracking.

no dance!

2008-07-11T22:59:00.003+08:00

Oh live's just great.

It's a mixed bag i guess, having no dance today. On one hand, no dance: D= ; on the other: more free time and no semi-scary teacher.

With the free time at hand, i went to the student lounge with SH to watch Juno on Tudou. It's definitely one of my favourite indie movie this year.

Hmm, am having an sms convo with J (ex-RC senior) today.

And blogging on the HP mini is quite okay.

chinese, cyber wellness, bridge and Taiti

2008-07-09T20:25:00.001+08:00

Today was a relatively normal day

In the morning there was the chinese oral presentation. Well, surprisingly we did quite well despite our last minute efforts. I found some other groups such as Joelle's very funny and interesting.

There was also a cyber wellness show - "The misadventures of Boon" quite funny if not a bit reatarded and exaggerated. It was followed by a cyber wellness talk on blogging. Which reminds me, i've got to go edit out some stuff later.

Well Axis was basically crap. The thing is, we havn't got a timeslot to carry out our project, and so we have to carry it out somewhere else, and there isn't much time left, so it is damned screwed. Especially how we are being pushed from an organisation to another. I'm not certain if we will get our work done at all.

So after axis, we went to the student lounge to play cards. I now know how to play taiti! *applause* However, i still have no idea how to play Hearts or Bridge. And there were funny jokes to make about it. Such as the Nazi Taiti (Adolf Hitler, Hitler's followers, and Jews); Singaporean taiti (LKY, GCT, LHL... ); Communist taiti (Everybody gets to see the cards xD)

Apart from playing the above mentioned card games, we also played cheat, and I have this to quote:

Somebody must have been cheating! - R, during a game of cheat.

It was really quite hilarious. And then was chatting at the canteen before going home.

2008-07-08T20:35:00.002+08:00

Wanna share two songs.

Been wanting to share these song for awhile, but i just haven't remembered, until one of them was just played on radio.

They are by Daphne Khoo, aka ex-s'pore idol runner-up.

Desperate - Daphne Khoo

Doll - Daphne

Oh, and kitchen chem is fun!

New blogskin! Mika - lollipop

2008-07-07T23:14:00.003+08:00

Oh yay! i changed my blogskin!

And considering i made this is the first one i made up from scratch, basecode and all, (not including original picture, duh) i think this is quite good!

Okay, and i just got a HPmini! yay!

2008-07-06T16:44:00.002+08:00

Okay, i just finished making a new blogskin and i'm thinking of using it for this blog. Wad'ya think?

blogskin tester

Hm.. i'm leading a fairly boring life as of now. and i still have the chinese project. *sigh*

Kaleb Nation, and Funfair

2008-07-05T21:47:00.003+08:00

Hello.

Okay, so I was reading the Twilight Guy site again, and then I found this vid that Kaleb Nation (aka Twilight Guy) posted. By the way, he's book is coming out soon, i think. And I just think it is freaking hilarious.

Okay, the Funfair at fairfield, like my view on most Funfairs ain't much fun. So met up with some old friends, such as Rachel, Esther and SweeTeng. Then saw KaiXin, Dione, Lionel, and Nicholas. Also met up with some old RC seniors such as Jeffrey and JunYi. Spent $20 buying things worth way less. I swear it is daylight mass robbery. Met some old teachers, met Ms Dorcas Kwok (aka ex-choir teacher), Mrs Hubeeb, Mrs Tan, Mrs Chong, and also saw Ms Fazillah dunked into the dunking pool.

okay gtg now.

YD'08 and SAMC

2008-07-05T11:27:00.003+08:00

Alright, so yesterday was Youth Day celebration, and also the SAMC

So, went to school at about 8.20, the school was rather empty, or so i felt, and there were lot's of movie decoration about. Ended up at the school hall folding paper hearts for the Earthquake victims of Sichuan, while listening to teachers and students being made to sing. Went to KFC for lunch, then took a bus to Science Centre. Anyways, Josephine bought this Hair Mascara thing, and we all ended up with some strands of blue hair. XD

SAMC: Met KaiXin, and sort of became friends with this girl whose group's project got them the award for "The Most Scientific Concepts" or something along the lines of that. Embarassingly (is there even such a word?!), NUSHS didn't even win a single award.

Ended up going about Science Centre after dismissal. I now think Marconi is hot, don't ask me why. It was really fun, wandering about, and playing with all the interactive exhibits, made really geeky jokes, and went home at about 5.

Went to my Grandmother's new house for dinner for the first time. There wasn't actually enough chairs. Lol, then went to play with all (only 2) younger cousins. Didn't even have time to finish that 500 piece Chip and Dale puzzle.

Will be going to Fairfield later today for their Funfair. Strangely, i never really found funfairs really ever "Fun". Unless you're talking about theme parks, which i only emjoy because I'm sort of an adrenalin junkie.

KidsREAD!

2008-07-02T21:11:00.003+08:00

ZOMG! kidsREAD contacted us!!

Wheeeeee =))))

Anyways, still trying to load Part 5 of Sweeney Todd on Tudou. I was kind of laughing because the blood was damned fake, so sadistically i was laughing whenever someone was killed.

Anyways, signed up for NaNoWriMo, can't wait to get started, and also have Bio assignment due tomorrow, thank goodness i finished it alrd.

And I'm planning to change blogskin soon, i just can't decide on how the theme should be like. It'll probably be based on Lollipop by Mika.

Just to keep the blog alive

2008-06-29T12:15:00.002+08:00

I dropped physics

Oh and I also updated my fanfic. Finally, in a damned long time.

I've got so much homework on the first few weeks of school.

And there will be an update on the upcoming mission today.

I've got so many family dinners.

The kids read programme havn't replied

I feel quite stressed

This post is just to keep the blog alive

I'm gonna stop now.

thursday, week 1, sem 2, 2008

2008-06-26T21:41:00.003+08:00

Yay! this is my first post in three post that is not about twilight.

Let's see... today had the BFP module, i must say, it was really fun. Oh and one thing. Ms Chua, as in the geog teacher, seems to be more partial towards girls. Either that or she's jiust darn oblivious 'cause she only asks Jamos to spit out his bubblegum, but never told me to, even if i've been chewing it right in front of her. xD

Even though it's the first week of school, i already have a fair bit of homework. And my bio mmodule is just giving me a headache. xD. Some kind of bio rep.

ok gtg do my chinese now.

oh and btw, i'm deciding to go as Violet Baudelair of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Cause I don't think I can get my hands on cloaks, and red contact lenses, and i don't freaking even resemble what it takes to be a vampire.

Bella Cullen Project, first day of school

2008-06-23T20:15:00.004+08:00

I swear, this band is damned good. The acoustic guitar, cool lyrics, and angelic voices of these girls are so awesome. You need to listen to this stuff. It's totally Fawesome! I guess it's like Wizrock, but vampire style.

Listen to their stuff on their myspace. I pariticularly enjoy Vampwolf. Sexy Vampire is also packs a punch, especially for Jacob haters (the Volturi want your blood)

oh and speaking of twilight songs, i was listening to songs on the twilight playlist ytd, so i came across this vid, really fun.

I'm not okay (I promise) - My Chemical Romance

Hm... today's the first day of school again, and there was only Math and Chem. Then crapped at library, omg, so geek, i mean we spent the first day at the library. xDD. Went to IMM and MacD's after school, to thoughtshower(brainstorm) about what to go for for youthday.

Me and Su are thinking of going as a Volturi, in anticipation of the upcoming Twilight film

See how lah. =DD

TwiHard Anonnymous

2008-06-22T21:19:00.003+08:00

Hi! My name is Tricia, and I'm a TwiHard.

This is my first time admitting out loud that I'm a TwiHard. I have considered myself just a reader and fan when I first read the series. But ever since I bought that copy of The Host, I find myself constantly searching for Stephanie-Meyer type fluff on Fanfic.net, alot of WandaIan, scouring through the mountains of Twilight Fanfic archives in search for a story that can match the original.

Today, and yesterday as well, I find myself searching Stephanie Meyer's site for more twilight or the host stuff. And also going to all the other fansites. And also the movie's site on IMDB. I admit that this is getting into the way of my normal, not-so-fluff life. And giving me fairytale fantasies of perfect guys like Edward *sigh* *wakes up, and slaps self on face. Hard*

If you find that you're a TwiHard, please write about your Twi-Addiction and post it on your blog.

2008-06-22T19:09:00.003+08:00

I just need to scream

IT IS SO UNFAIR!!

*sigh* The Breaking Dawn Concert Tour is not coming to Singapore, in fact, it's not coming anywhere near Asia. T.T But there will be a live broadcast, and it will also be available for later viewings at iclip.net, go to Stephanie Meyer's Website to find out more. I'm talking alot about her these days aren't I?

OH and here's a link to an advance chapter of Breaking Dawn. Edward and Bella are getting married! So long, mutt-lovers! Edward rocks! w00ts

Fanfics, and Ms Chua

2008-06-21T20:37:00.003+08:00

xF (haha)

I'm having a freaking boring day. As in really freaking boring, spent the first half of the day reading fanfic stuff, the the second half writing a cross-over fic (i'm still writing it now) I shouldn't be, i should be updating my ther fic, but of course, i don't see why i shouldn't write this.

Oh and the really really really sad thing. Ms Chua will not be our Mentor anymore... T.T *sobsob* I hope our new mentor will be just as good.

206 hearts Ms Chua

Scene Diego, M:SG, and Urban Prankster

2008-06-20T10:38:00.005+08:00

Hobey! I have no idea why I'm using this greeting again.

I was just at the ~~Improv Everywhere Global~~Urban Prankster Network site, and checking out mission reports, and I found this really cool mission done by Scene Diego. I think it is a really cool idea to stage a mission that can raise funds for charity as well.

M: SG should stage a musical someday... But today, they are staging a musical without music. Yes, it is the air band, and yes it is today, but unfortunately, i won't be able to make it... TT.TT I want to goooo~

But here's my piece of Fangirlism. "I Love You Beyond Acoustics!!"

I heart Twilight and Stephanie Meyer!

2008-06-19T21:54:00.004+08:00

Uh-huh...

Like... I Love Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Series and The Host

If you live under a rock in a well in a hole in a cave on a planet in an alternate dimesion, and don't know who Stephanie Meyer is, get yourself out from under that rock, and come back to Earth now

Go read this review. And it was also written by Orson Scott Card. Doesn't that just so up her cred.

And if you're a guy, go to this website Maybe you'll finally have a reason to read Twilight. And if you already do... find some GUYS who share the interest too! Girls, go read it too. I was laughing so loud my brother was staring at me like i was nuts.

Hmmm... and i added a count down for breaking dawn. It's not the actual cover page, just another "craptastic cover" as Seth put's it.

I just finished The Host. Okay, not really, i kinda skiped the front-middle section when they first found Wanda/Mel in the dessert and decided what to do with her. I rejoined the part where Jeb takes her out for a tour. Something like what i did for Book two of Age of The Five Trilogy: Last of the Wilds. I skipped through most of the parts about the Pentadrians, so i only know the barest bits about the kidnapping of the Elai princess.

However, the host was and extremely good read, and I don't regret buying it.

And I can't wait for Breaking Dawn, the Twilight movie, and Midnight Sun to come out. arranged in chronological order of course. I feel so nuts and fangirlish.

Oh and speaking of the movie, here is a scene in Twilight. It feels damned unreal.

Can't wait for all the upcoming stuff with Twilight and Stephanie Meyer!

I heart Relient K

2008-06-18T20:26:00.003+08:00

Hm...

I was out today, went to Tiong Bahru to meet my mum and grandma for lunch, then went to Gracia's. Let's just say that I'm suffering from a bit of a short term memory loss.

Almost finished condensed notes for MA1105. So i can throw away my old notes = more space. Also titled some older blog post.

Oh I wanna share some songs from Relient K. By the way, I think the lead singer looks cute.

Who I am hates who I've been - Relient K

So cool!

Be my escape - Relient K

I must've done something right - Relient K

Um... haha... just in time for Euro cup. Not that i watch soccer.

Sadie Hawkins Dance - Relient K

Why don't WE have a Sadie Hawkins Dance? "Baby do you like my sweater?"

Summertime

2008-06-16T13:22:00.003+08:00

This song is just addictive

Summertime - The Click Five

So catchy right?

I am really bored

2008-06-16T11:10:00.003+08:00

Yo!

I AM UBER BORED

And I need a life *sigh*. I need to do something.

Anyways, finished the Age of the Five trilogy, good stuff that one. If abit too much RA stuff. Not too lemon-y though. Go read it.

I should start reading The Host. I bought it, but havn't started yet.

1 more week until school starts.

And NLB havn't replied yet.

I have No Life

2008-06-14T19:42:00.003+08:00

*SIGH*

The school hols has just proved one thing. I have ABSOLUTELY NO LIFE. And strangely, but unsuprisingly, I have found that I really want to go back to school. I feel like I'm losing touch with society. And I really really need something to do.

Although I really love staying in the house, I need to go out. With friends. Get something done. Go flash mobing. Basically speaking. I need to get a life.

And our FPS needs to be finished. Like soon.

I'll take lables

2008-06-12T20:39:00.003+08:00

Hello.

Was at Gracia's (again) today. My colouring skills have improved, but my french manicure absolutely sucks. D=

Anyway, I wanna share a song..

Lables or Love - Fergie

Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
Shopping for labels, shopping for love (1, 2)
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of (1, 2, 3 Turn the lights on. )

I already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels, I ain't looking for love
I shop for purses while love walks out the door
Don't cry, buy a bag and get over it
And, I'm not concerned with all the politics
It's a lot of men I know I could find another.

What I know is that I'm always happy when I walk out the store, store
I'm guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

[Chorus]
Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing them boys and shop some more.
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, Turn the lights on.)

I know I might come off as negative
I be looking for labels, I ain't looking for love
Relationships are often so hard to tame
A Prada dress has never broken my heart before
And, ballin's something that I'm fed up with
I'mma do the damn thing, watch me do the damn thing
Cause I know that my credit card will help me put out the flames
I'm guessing Supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

[Chorus]
Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing them boys and shop some more.
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, Turn the lights on. )

Gucci, Fendi, Prada purses, purchasing them finer things
Men they come a dime a dozen, just give me them diamond rings
I'm into a lot of bling, Cadillac, Chanel and Coach
Fellas boast but they can't really handle my female approach
Buying things is hard to say
Rocking Christian Audigier, Manolo, Polo, taking photos in my Cartier
So we can't go all the way, I know you might hate it but
I'm a shop for labels while them ladies lay and wait for love

[Chorus]
Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing them boys and shop some more.
(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, Turn the lights on. )

Shopping for labels, shopping for love
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
Shopping for labels, shopping for love (1, 2)
Manolo and Louis, it's all I'm thinking of
(1, 2, 3 Turn the lights on. )

Totally. A Prada dress ain't broken my heart before. (okay, it did 'cos i couldn't afford it. I ain't that flossy). But lables over love anytime. You go girl!

Official FGF vid.

2008-06-11T20:53:00.004+08:00

Oh yay!

Today, i was at Gracia's, learning manicure-y stuff. W/e. Still have three more lessons to go. Going for the next one tomorrow.

And FGF vid is out! The official one! yay!

OH and i forgot to add. I bought The Host already. I just havn't read it yet.

Mistake, WWE, and a Quiz

2008-06-10T22:10:00.003+08:00

Yo!

Okay, so i was supposed to go for the course at Gracia's, but apparently, my mum didn't confirm the date with the people, so it got postponed til tomorrow. Bummer. I left the house for no apparent reason.

Yeah, I was watching WWE(again, but hey! It's total fun!) and I just felt like using John Cena's entrance theme as my cellphone ringtone, or at least a message tone. Dunno. Sad that Shawn Michaels lost. Maybe it's karma. Eh.. stopped it half-way, gonna continue watching it later...

Q3: Who is the closest person(people) to you in your school? It's my pyscho people in the family tree. And all my psychos who aren't.

Q4: Do you hate your friends sometimes? Sometimes, I hate everything, but hey, best friends make up and go shopping right after a big fight. xD

Q5: Are you afraid of death? It will come eventually, i just prefer later that sooner.

Q6: What is your goal this year? Well... since i've already beaten both Ting AND YS for CAP... um... I'm not sure.

Q7: Do you believe in love at first sight? Darling, I've already given up.

Q8: Do you believe in eternal love? If it's like Edward and Bella... well...

Q9: Do you think boyfriends are a necessity? Just read the 2 questions above, then infer.

Q10: What do you enjoy doing the most? Um... i guess it's making things, i have no other way of putting it. It ranges from knitting to writing fanfics. xP

Q11: Have you ever done anything for your admirer? People who admire me? Don't think there are many. Um but... a huge "thank you" to them all!

Q12: What feeling do you hate most? Betrayal. HeartBreak Kid broke my heart... I can't believe that he feigned an injury... =(. I'll still support him though.

Q13: Do you cherish every single friendship of yours? I try to... but sometimes I'm a total bitch. (Like if you wake me up at 7.30 on a holiday morning, and i havn't had coffee.)

Q15: What happened to Q14? I dunno.

Q16: Do you find life meaningless? Not sure about that.

Q17: What do you live for? Things that have yet to come.

Q18: Who do you talk most to in school? All my psychos, you know who you are. Well, if it's just one person, then i guess it's Jo cause she's in the same class as me as well.

Q19: What book are you currently reading? Priestess of the White, by Trudi Canavan. I know, i'm not done with it yet, I went to read some other books first. Ack.

Q20:Imagine... that you are the driver of a train and you see 70 people on the railroad before you. If you just let the train go ahead, it would most certainly squish the 70 to death. You can turn onto another track, but the upshot of that is that you would kill 7. Do you switch tracks? Erm... since I'm the driver, can i just stop the train?

Indiana Jones, and rant on bad Sci-fi

2008-06-08T21:16:00.003+08:00

tadadada tadada....

lol, I went to watch a movie today!! Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

[mild spoilers *includes rant on bad sci-fi*]

Okay, basicaly I think that the movie is just an excuse to have elaborate action-chase sequence. Harrison Ford still looks hot in that old-kind-of-way. But the plot line is kind of.... um... non-exsistence. I mean.... Mind reading? Psychic warfare? Aliens that come from other dimensions?!It has all the makings of a bad sci-fi movie. Well, of course with George Lucas (you know, Star Wars and stuff) involved, you just can't lay off the aliens (personally, i think they needed to recycle the old Star Wars costume before throwing it away), and the incredibly cliche "Dude, i am your father". But, for heaven's sake, leave action movies alone! Leave Indy as an action movie! Say 'No' to bad sci-fi!

And speaking of badly done science fiction. I have a rant on DJ Machale, dark matter, and other authors who don't do their research. It just pisses me off so much, that they use theories they don't even understand in their fiction. Please, I absolutely love the Pendragon series, and I have nothing against DJ, it's just that when people use science in fiction where it does not make much sense at all, i get abit upset.

Dark matter does not emit enough or reflect enough EM radiation to be observed directly, thus 'dark' matter, its presence can only be inferred from its gravitational effect on other visible matter. But flumes are described as emitting bright light and sound, so it isn't possible for it to have been made of dark matter. I mean, does it matter whether the flumes are made of dark matter? It probably doesn't. So, if you have no idea what the hell it is. Don't use it. Simple. Leave things that you don't understand alone.

[End rant]

Seems like i'm ranting alot nowadays aren't I. I think the hols are driving me cranky.

I have an idea for a story. Just need to work on the plot abit. eh... heh. I think i'm anticipating NaNoWriMo abit too early.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Shopping trip to FEP

2008-05-31T21:02:00.003+08:00

Hobey-ho!

Today is the last day i shall be starting my post with 'hobey-ho'. And yes, I have finished reading Raven Rise, and there were times i cried, and there were times i wanted to fling the book across the room (but I couldn't 'cause i was 2am in the morning, and i didn't want to wake anyone up.)

Anyway, i slept at 3.15 last night, as i was watching WWE, and then trying to finish Pendragon. Finished it this morning.

Just wanna give a huge thank you and shout out to everyone who turned up today for the shopping trip.

Amanda (Haha, i know what to get for you alrd
Joanne (I really really love the keychain! Thank you! Dunno about the chopsticks though)
Josephine (yay! let's go HMV another time yo!)
Shree (The photo frame is really beautiful, I'm gonna put my drawings in it)
SuHang (Enjoying the CD alot, I'll give my thanks to TingTing too, and thanks for lending me Priestess of the White!)
WeiRen (Sad that you had to go before the shopping, good job with FGF btw)

Okay, shopped around Far East Plaza, Jo and Mandy keeps looking at accesories, Shree is getting old, and we were looking at underwear (don't ask me, i don't know how that happened.) Bought some chain and headpins. Planning to make charm braclet for all the family girls.

Anyways, went to FGF later, but it rained, so we had to change location and ended up staging FGF at City Hall. I had a part in a mini-scene and died pretty quickly. Although when i 'died' I was ‘死不瞑目’的，but i had to keep staring at the same spot, so I couldn't really see the expression of the people. However, there were a group of girls who were practicing a dance before we came, and SuHang heard that they were screaming their heads off. I could hear them screaming too.

When the special team came and announced mission accomplish, we all ran off laughing.

I had a really great time. Can't wait for the next mission.

I got Raven Rise!!!

2008-05-30T11:38:00.005+08:00

Hobey!

I just survived a most nerve-wracking bus ride, with the book in my bag, and me not daring to open it. Yes! I got Raven Rise in my hands right now... okay in my lap, i can't actually type with my hands on the book.

Also, i found the graphic novel of Merchant of Death...

I'm just so terribly excited! I havn't opened it because I'm so nervous about what i might read.. Like i might just fling the book across the room. And then i might spoil the book.. I'm so excited that I'm excited about being excited... haha..

Okay I'm gonna open the book now... my left hand is tearing open the plastic as i type... The book is now unrapped! Okay, so long, I shall now flume away from Second Earth!

Gonna get Raven Rise!!

2008-05-30T10:10:00.005+08:00

hobey ho!

Guess where i am? I'm typing from my a comp at my mum's workplace. But the reason I'm is because it's at Orchard... Yes! I'm gonna go get Raven Rise! Can't wait!!!

But of course, after i get the book, I won't be on Second Earth for quite awhile. I'll be with Bobby chasing a demon through Halla, jumping from dimesions to dimensions. So I'm blogging about my excitement first!! *Jumps up and down, and screams out cheers**grabs pompons and does a dance*

Okay, it's high time i stareted jumping through the flumes.

"This is the way it was meant to be..."

"We're on the wrong territory..."

"And so we go..."

p4 math camp

2008-05-29T21:25:00.003+08:00

Hobey.

Spent the entire day playing really really random songs at the P4 math carnival. In fact, the songs were so random, we have recieved a complain letter (it was more like some rant-scribbling on a piece of scrap paper) about our music choices.

I mean, the thing is, we can't really please everyone with our songs right? Everyone has different song preferences. There are some songs you may like and others don't, while there are some others like and you don't. I can't stand some of Sharne's choices, and he can't stand most of my song choices, but we live with it, and the stuff that we like can get played. And as for people complaining that we don't stop playing the music, seriously, that is our DUTY, why else would they assign a task called DJ-ing, if you can't stand the music get out of the hall. Tadaa... problem solved.

Okay, feeling upset for no apparent reason. I feel like i have fallen into the gap between extreme hate and obsession... And also I'm going out of my mind. I just can't stop.

Peeps: Parasite postive

2008-05-28T20:11:00.003+08:00

hobey ho!

Sianx. Nothing much happened today. My life is so sianx. Damned. I need to get a life.

Okay, so i shall recommend a book called Peeps by Scott Westerfield, the guy who wrote the Uglies series, speaking of which, i have to get the latest book in the series, called Extras. Anyways, Peeps is about vampires. However, vampires in this case are not those usual types in legends, neither are they the Twilight-ish Stephanie Meyer-ish style of super beautiful people. In fact, vampires in this case are people who have been infected with a parasite which makes them cannibalistics, craving human blood. Thus they are also known to the legends as vampires. But they exist for a pupose - evolution would have left them behind if they have no reason to exist - they are our protector, our defenders against even bigger things lurking around. "The parasites of my parasite is my friend".

So go get the book now, it is a real good read.

Btw, anyone got Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan?

SMO, and birthday wishes

2008-05-27T21:50:00.004+08:00

Hobey ho!

Had SMO today... Let's just say that completed it, but by filling in the anwser of every question i didn't know how to do with "42". The thing was, the anwser of one of the question was 42, however, i forgot to multiply by anwser by 6, so i put "7" instead. Damned wasted lah.

Math camp briefing = damned Siannnx... nothing much to talk about.

Hm... went to JEL afterwards to return books, and borrow some new ones. Got this book by Scott Westerfield about vampires. Coolio! Then took mrt home with Su, and abandoned her at the Buona Vista stop. (bang!)

Speaking of vampires, just wanna shout out to everyone who wished me happy birthday and/or gave me gifts today (You don't really have to know what this has to do with vampires) :

Joelle
Darryl
WanQi
Natalie (Thank you! The key chain's so cute, but i don't know where to hang it =( )
Aisyah, Hilda and YuJia (Thank's so much for the giflt and the card. The earrings are real funky, and I absolutely adore the colour of the nail polish! Oh and yeah, it's chopsticks, not pencils. xD! )
Anyone whom I might have missed out.

Thank you people so much!! ILYAJ y'all! (Especially you. You know who i'm talking about)

Anyway, just wanted to share a song with you all before i go. It totally reflects on how i feel right now. *sighhs...*

Maybe - Jay Sean

BEEP BEEP

all joking aside let's say you and i come out and say what were trying to hide

maybe it's true im caught up on you

Hobey!

xDDDD

three songs and some insults

2008-05-24T11:05:00.004+08:00

Hobey-ho! Time to share a song!

Valerie - Amy Winehouse(covering)

And Amy covers this song beautifully, infusing a catchy beat to the original song by the Zutons.

Bye bye - Mariah Carey

A really sad and touching song. Hope this helps anyone who are feeling this way.

Be without you - Mary J Blige

Note: don't cry yourself to sleep if you don't have a tissue box beside you. Messy.

Okay, i have actually been feeling quite upset these past few ~~days~~nights (i don't really get upset in the day) and since someone started insulting me first, i feel like taking up a fight... Ranting...

So, this rant is against all the people who flame anonymously. I mean seriously, if you don't like me, tell me, leave your name, and I'll try to stay out of your life. Not daring to put down your name just goes to show that you have no guts.

And since you think I'm ugly, you must have probably seen me before, so I'm guessing 'laaaa' means Lame Aquaintance Announcing Afflictions Anonymously.

If you think I'm ugly, you so ugly, you make me look hot.

And you so ugly, when you threw a boomerang, it didn't come back.

You so fat, when i cut you, you bled ketchup.

You so fat, you can join the green earth movement. As an alternative fuel source.

You so fat, when you grey clothes, people called the zoo saying "There's an elephant on the loose!"

You're so dumb, when you couldn't buy movies for an NC 16 movie, you went and got 15 other friends.

So there

Far East, and pendragon hunting

2008-05-23T21:52:00.004+08:00

Hobey-ho!

Today was apparently 'Rest Day', so there was no school, but actually it is just an excuse to keep the year 1s - 3s out of the way during SIMC. So much time on my hands, and GSS just started, so my mum dragged me out shopping.

Upsettingly (is there even such a word?), there is no longer a Missha at Far East Plaza, meaning that i'll have to go Vivo next time. Finally go to eat the Yong Tau Fu at Lucky Plaza after a really long long long time. The Yong Tau Fu there us damned nice. Went to Takashimaya after that to buy a new swimsuit (pink! xD!). Also went to Kino to... (Now I'm gonna begin a rant session, get out if you want to)

[start rant]

Okay, so I went to Kino to hunt for Raven Rise. It was released on the 20th, but i hunted up and down the shelves but i still couldn't find it. I approached the counter and the lady said it'll be brought in next month. So i went to Border's to look for the book. Met YuJia who was hunting for the SAME book, and we still couldn't find it, I'm not even going to try popular. They don't even have the Pendragon series the last time i checked.

I mean, i know quite a few S'porean fans of the book. We have all been waiting anxiously for about a year for it to come out. Then they tell us to wait. Many of the people in the forums have already finished the book and are discussing new theories, "spoilers alert"s are on discussion threads everywhere. It totally sucks, and it is just so darn depressing. Please. for goodness sake, do your reasearch and find out about the fanbase in Singapore lah. I want the book so bad.

[End rant]

Alright, so went home after meeting back up with my mum (she went back to her office at Mt E to finish some work), went for dinner with my maternal family. Recieved birthday AngPaos from my uncle and my grandma.

Oh, and if you want something to do over the hols, join a flash mob. Mission: Singapore

Although I'm uncertain if you love me, loving you is enough. Under the circumstances, it is the best that I can hope for.

of campfires and freezes

2008-05-22T15:46:00.007+08:00

Hobey-ho all! I'm baackkk.... woohoo!! lol

Here's an update on the camp:

20th May

People waiting excitedly to board the bus.

So, we gathered in school, all set to go for camp. Boarded the bus, and was introduced our (206 &and 207) Camp instructors from Camp High Adventures: Abeely, aka Instructor Abel. (206) and Randall (sp?), aka Samantha.(207) Yeah, at night he turns into 'Samantha'

Arrived, and started on team building activities, named our group Coconut. And all your nut are belong to us! Had cheers, played games (The girls won! xD!), ate lunch, and moved into our chalets.

Went to play a game called "The Big Event" And, hell yeah, we cheated alot. xD. Discussed the campfire performance item. Had dinner, learnt some campfire songs, and played a game called Kidnapped, basically, HuiWen got "kidnapped" we have to find her, go to stations and complete tasks to get two keys to free her. Carried HuiWen with Michelle all the way back to the endpoint. As this game was at night, most of us had already bathed, and are wearing the clothes we would be sleeping in. So, in fact, we were JOGGING IN OUR JAMMIES (pyjamas). XD

Went back to the chalet, and layed out our sleeping mats. I slept on the ground floor in the living room, together with Jo, Su, Josie, and Mandy, there were of course other people there, but we were the ones talking together. Mona and Michelle joined us in the chats sometimes. We stayed up til 1.30 am(one of the latest groups to sleep), chatting, and playing Truth (which is basically truth or dare without the dare), and asking each other stupid questions like about our underwear preferences. Lawl. Complained about not being able to buy pendragon 9.

21st May

Woke up freezing my butt off. Turned out that the camp instructor set our airconditioning to 16 degrees C. OMG! COLD! XD. Had breakfast, then proceeded to play a game called Double or Nothing.

We were given $20, and about 3 hours. We had to go get items, and make it into a new item and sell it, collecting twice the cost price of the items. We bought drinks at Elias mall, and went to the HDB blocks opposite to sell it. Earned almost three times the amount that we bought in the end. Actually, every group managed to reach the target! yay! Haha, during the time we were playing this game, the year 1s were playing a game of captain's ball, except that... they were throwing a dead chicken. Yeah, as in a real, dead, featherless chicken. The guts were still inside. Gross.

Right... so afternoon activity was called Gladiator. Basically, we threw wet sponges at each other in an attempt to conquer other territories. And we won our semi-rounds, and went to the final against 204. What was epic was that we both conquered each other's territory at the exact same time, resulting in a sudden death round. In short, we lost. In long, we were utterly PWNED. After which, they played against the instructors and lost. blehh... we ended up throwing sponges at our instructors.

Went to practice our skit for the campfire again. Had dinner, and then was CAMPFIRE! Yeah! We sang and performed, and it was so darn cool! The moon was out, and it was really big bright and beautiful. Anyways, it was reall really fun. Especially when Samantha and Ah Hua fights.

When we went back to the chalet, we called in 987fm. We had to redial many many times, but Soo finally picked up, and we got 'Uncle Mutton' dedicated to all our teachers, camp instructors, and other NUSHSians out there. It was really AWESOME! Lol, slept at 2 after longlonglong discussions, xDD

22nd May

Woke up freezing again. The instructor set the temperature to 20 degrees this time, but we were still really really really cold. Anyways, breakfast, area cleaning, watch some performance by the instructors, then home sweet home.

On the bus, we were throwing unripe rambutans at each other. It was damned funny, i hit Spencer twice.

Overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable camp. Now... If only Ting was here.

Yay! The vid for the big freeze is outttt!!!!!:

haha, can't wait for FGF

And i missed you everyday and every night

I got bangs!

2008-05-19T16:22:00.004+08:00

hobey-ho!!! I got a new haircut!! xDDDD!!

I know! i've got bangs! haha. i think I it looks like Ultraviolet, yeah. Or Cleopatra.. xDD. My bro says i look nerdy.

I wanted chinadoll bangs cause I was inspired by... Chelsea from The Search For The Next Pussycat Doll, and also Yuuko from Xxxholic/ Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles, yeah, that one. Lol.

I was really upset last night, waterworks and all, but I'm alright now. I think.

Oh! And I'm leaving for camp tomorrow, so, won't be posting for about 2 or 3 days. Promise to come back with pics. I hope.

And also, Pendragon: Book 9. Raven Rise. Is out tomorrow!!!! Tomorrow!!! So coool!!! zomgzomg zomg! haha XD.

note: Ting, you can talk to me if you need anyone to talk to.

Feeling helpless and abit lost. Dreaming about you.

2008-05-18T10:14:00.003+08:00

Hobey-ho! Just an update on what happened ytd..

Yesterdsay, got woken up insanely early to go to my grandmother's house. Well, at first i was stuck with the most boring job of it all, i was sticking newspaper onto a wall. (Yeah, i know, it rhymes! XD!) Then I got to painting. In the end my hand was like really really white. and i had paint on my leg and stuff, but it was fun. Ting smsed me to rescue her from boredom, i told her I was painting my grandma's house, so she asked me whether my hair turned white. I told her "No, it didn't take that long" haha.

Anyways... It was really really disappointing that I couldn't go for the freeze. It was at Takashimaya, and Su and WeiRen was there. I soooooo wanted to be there as well. sob. NOT FAAIRRR... *cries*~. They said it was damned EPIC, and I'm sooo envious, nvm, I'll go for the fingergun, maybe bring imaginary grenades or something.

Lol. Okay, um... my dad decided to bring us to Hortpark for the bridge walk thingy. Walked ~3km from there to Vivocity. Had dinner at Vivo (superdog! really yummy!) and then took a bus back to Hortpark. I mean, we really aren't going to walk back there, are we?

ZOMG, I hope my mum let's me go for the fingergun, i'm quite reluctant to part ways with a hundred bucks you know...

Tag replies
Hilda - exacto.. =(
Amanda - *Looks down at both of you.* Quite literally. I'm taller. XD
jayashri - Hobey-ho! back. wheee...

2008-05-16T21:05:00.001+08:00

Hobey-ho!

Lol, my Mum doesn't want to let me go for the big freeze tomorrow cos she's scared I'll get molested. xDD

Anyway, i have to go paint my grandma's house. Lol. Oh wells.

2008-05-16T17:09:00.002+08:00

The world is such a bright, sunny, gay, pretty, and wonderful place!

And that is all because of 4.32! Yay!! It totally brightened up my entire day! Yes, I got at C.A.P. of 4.32.

That's my highest record ever!! And that means I PWNed Ting and YS! Yay!! Lol. I never thought i'd see the day I'd PWN Ting, but the day has finally arrived!! XD (Sorry for taking joy in your misery..) But.. *prances about and sings*

Haha.. I thought i'd get something like 4.20

But 4.32!! yay!

2008-05-15T20:32:00.002+08:00

And so we go...

I find myself unexplainably gay and happy in school, in the morning, yet angsty and emo when I'm at home. *sigh*

Anyway... today was relatively boring, continued watching Harry Potter. We were all still commenting on the movie, cheering alot. Shouting stuff at the screen, standing up and applauding and stuff. It was real cool.

Then went to library and slacked like mad. Very boring, almost died of it. *yawns*

I don't know why, but everybody was very ganchiong spider about the whole module registering thing. I mean at two, everybody logged on, and caused the server to hang. Anyway, they ended up pushing the timing back. I myself waited until i got back home, and rgistered at about 8. No rush, and there wasn't a quota. so no problem. Lol. That's why, Relax(Take It Easy)

and wheee! 5 more days!! Hobey-ho! Let's go!

Oh... and Vivian showed me the trailer for the Twilight movie... Can't wait! Can't wait!:

The way it was meant to be? I don't actually care anymore.

2008-05-14T22:02:00.003+08:00

Zomg, so cool right!! haha..

Anyways, today was interhouse games, but i ended up watching movies in the audi, we watched Ratatouie (i think it's at least the third time i watched it), and also Harry Potter: OotP. Were commenting like mad critics (Ego!!) on the Harry Potter film, and how it totally ruined the book. Well, all of us were Harry Potter fanatics. Planned to go watch Half-blood prince when it comes our (Nov), tentatively. But the movie we will definitely go watch together... is Twilight. I mean... most of us would have waited at least a year when the movie comes out.

Ended up spending the rest of our time at the library after lunch. Found a book on knitting and cocheting in school today, still can't crochet for nuts though.

Oh, and no, I didn't play for my house. And also, I found that we have been pinching Russell's cheeks alot today. xDD

You stabbed me in the heart with a sword and decided to turn it round and round

sticking my foot into a shredder

2008-05-13T17:16:00.003+08:00

hobey-ho!

Yep!! I'm back.. lol. Okay, went to lucky plaza to shop, bought a new bag. Finite. Yeah, it was a really sucky shopping experience let me just explain WHY.

Firstly, my mum brought me for lunch, bought me the bag, and left me to shop by myself. And i absolutely HATE shopping alone. It is just so depressing to be shopping by yourself, unless, of course you are buying books or CDs, in which case i find it okay... so I went to Kinokuniya

But, it was still horrible. I swear I will never stick my foot into that pair of Everbest flats ever again. It was a really pretty shoe, but i tell you, it's as uncomfortable and painful as sticking your foot into a paper shredder, and then pouring acid on it. I just couldn't walk. I know, i don't mind sacrificing abit for a pretty shoe, but honestly, if the shoe gives you four blisters on each foot. I am not putting my feet into that thing again.

Okay... nevermind about the painful shoe. So, i was at Kino, then i saw this:

Then i was like ZOMG twilight box set. I soooo want this for my birthday. then I thought. hey no! I want pendragon 9 for my birthday. (7 more days!!! *squeals and fangirls*) Yeah.. so i thought i'd list my birthday wishlist.

That Twilgiht box set
Raven Rise. (duh, havn't i made enough a fuss about it, but my mum is getting me that. heh)
Giant plush toy. (my parents would probably kill me though)
The stuff that appears on my wishlist (look to the left)
WORLD PEACE yo!
Death Note 13.
whatever else you think i may like (hint: i love books, especially fantasy and sci-fi)

xD. BTW, no matter how much i love shoes, don't give me shoes, my mum will be unhappy. because according to superstition it is unlucky to give shoes. lol.

2008-05-13T10:57:00.002+08:00

hobey-ho!

Heh.. i feel damned noob. xD. I just joined mission SG. And um.... yeah. ohkay, i dl-ed cabal. then i have absolutely no idea what to do, so i ended up abandoning it and reading manga. lol.

Gonna be going to orchard to shop later. i should get ready to go now. would probably update on what i bought later

Hasta luego.

XD. I'm teaching myself Spanish.

2008-05-12T17:20:00.002+08:00

Hobey-ho! You won't believe what I'm doing right now.

Yes, I, Tricia, am downloading cabal. haha. never believed i would do something like that. XDXD

Okay, got Joanne's present to her today, if you havn't seen it yet, it is a GIGANTIC white coloured teddy bear she ended up naming "Cream". I want a plush toy too.... can I have a monkey? please please? heh.

Anyways, I have all my results for my paper already, so here it goes:

BL2101: 49.5/80 -- B-
BL2102: 44.5/65 -- B
CH2101: 84/160 -- C (yeah, amazing, i know.)
CM2101: 27/40 -- B
EL2103: 44.75/75 -- B- (I was expecting more)
HY2101: 35/50 -- B+
MA2108: 54/60 -- A+
PC2101: 38/50 -- A-
PC2102: 36.5/50 -- B+ (HOW THE HELL DID I ONLY GET A B+ FOR PHYSICS?!)

Okay... I didn't fail anything. =DDDD... Anyways, I'm supposed to be the DJ for the p4 math carnival on the 29th of may.. XD

singing oh-oh on a saturday night.

2008-05-10T21:31:00.002+08:00

hobey-ho!

Went out for almost the entire day went to Tiong Bahru Plaza today. Met up with my grandma and my uncle and cousins. My aunt was too ill to come. Let's see, mum bought me eyeshadow... yeah. Um, havn't gotten the bear yet. eh.. went to That CD shop, coveted all the High Society CDs. And also Patd's albums.

I watched Iron Man at Great World City today... It was quite good, but I must say that superheroes don't really have a tendency to obey the laws of nature. Honestly, you can't get thrown a few thousand feet into the air, and crash land in an iron suit without getting shards of metal piercing through you internal organs. But it was good, and quite funny sometimes. I want cheeseburgers! XD.

Currently listening to songs on youtube and reading deathnote fanfics. There is too much yaoi in there i think.

Oh and only 10 days till Raven Rise!! Yay!! hearts! heart! hearts! Can't wait!!

And only 16 days until i turn 14...

The number '14', ahhhh, it's everywhere! If you don't get it, here's why...

Haha, Ms Chua found some trobelone on the floor today, so she gave it out to the history people! Yay! Ms Chua ROCKS! Um... went around saying that i broke my laughbox today. I was really quite funny, and i ended up rofl. Literally. maybe ma did come o. lol. Oooh, found a book in school about shoes. haha, read the whole damn thing. those heels were soooo sexay!

2008-05-08T21:11:00.003+08:00

hobey-ho!

No, I'm not gonna talk about my marks, that will be released together with the rest of it. Once i get them all back.

Anyways... woke up at 7.21 today, an by a feat of miracles, reach school on time. Um... highlight, spent half-an-hour rearranging chairs after the freaking script checking, they should pay us for it. I mean like the rest of the year 2s who were there didn't do a damned about it lah. Nvm.

Went to Macs at WCP after. Remind me never to go there again, it is so fucking far from school. And i had no transportation back home from there, so i had to walk all the way back to school to take 196. Which is just really stupid.

But walking alone gave me time to think. Am I expecting too much of myself? I mean, i am getting marks that people tell me are high. I know that 90 marks is high. But I am just not satisfied. I want more. I think it is too low. I'm not at the top. I think: it's not 95. And I know that there are people who are doing much worse, but it doesn't help. I just don't think I'm doing well enough. And I want to climb. I want to go beyond the top. It isn't possible. But I crave it. I want it badly. I hope this doesn't get too out of hand.

Fairies, take my wish; Grant it, don't twist it. Because most of all, I covet you.

2008-05-07T16:52:00.004+08:00

Hobey-ho!

Having a perfectly boring day, went to Tiong Bahru today, shopped around the area and also went to help my grandma with her new house. Was supposed to be cleaning up and stuff, but the renovation was not done yet so it was pretty much pointless to be cleaning up. Ended up not doing anything.

Reading this new book called "Magic Street" Yes, it's an OSC book. No, it's not sci-fi, not really. And yes, it's good stuff. Yeah, so go find a copy and read it.

Thought that I'll share something with you guys, I got this from a chain e-mail from HuiWen:

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860..
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Lincoln' s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy' s Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names..
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe..

After reading the last line, the first thing that came to my sick mind was that at least the e-mail didn't say:

"A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe."

I dreamed about you last night, it was beautiful. But dreams aren't real, and dreams don't last. If only we were real.

2008-05-06T09:54:00.002+08:00

Hobey-ho! (I'm using this both as a form of gretting and exclamation)

Why am I so happy? Because I can do a full on split with my left leg foward now, haha!

I've finished reading the entire series of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles that has been uploaded onto onemanga, and am currently reading another CLAMP production called "xxxholic".

Gonna be going to JEL later to slack about with some friends, maybe catch a movie or something. heh.

Just took this quiz on Quizilla. I'm Bella Swan! Hey where's my Edward?

Which Twilight novel character are you?

You're Bella Swan - You are intelligent and kind but not quite sure what you want out of life yet. You have a feeling there's something more out there for you. You're attracted to those who are real and avoid the fake. Sometimes you're a bit accident prone, but your true friends will always be loyal to you and come to your aid when you need it.

It's an epidemic, I say.

And this epidemic has claimed many victims:

Joanne
TingTing
Josephine
Vivian
SuHang
WeiRen
YanSheng
Amanda
Myself

Basically everyone in the family is down. There are also many other people falling ill. Everyone is sick. It must be because of the exams.

If you're having any cough, fever, or dizzy spells, please, go see a doctor. These are the symptons of the mid-year epidemic.

To all those who are ill, get well really soon.

Exams are finally OVER!!! And my fever has gone down!! and so to share my joy, I shall share a song!!

Pocketfull of sunshine - Natasha Bedingfield

Lyrics:
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
Oh, oh.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh, oh.

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you want, you can't slow me down.
Oh, no.

Chorus:
Take me away (Take me away)
A secret place (A secret place)
A sweet escape (A sweet escape)
Take me away (Take me away)

Take me away (Take me away)
to better days (to better days)
Take me away (Take me away)
A hiding place (A hiding place).

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.
No.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine.
Oh.

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me.
Do anything you can to control me.
Oh, no.

[Chorus]

There's a place that I go,
But nobody knows.
Where the rivers flow,
And I call it home.

And there's no more lies.
In the darkness, there's light.
And nobody cries.
There's only butterflies.

[Chorus x 3]

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.

Hello. I'm sick, very very sick.

It's not just mentally, I have a fever, the cough, and the flu. I was just coughing the entire night, and at night, I was having high temperature. And this morning, I was feeling very woozy. Can't walk very properly.

How the hell am I supposed to sit for my Bio paper? The doctor didn't give me a MC.

Anyways, let's change the topic to something happier. Today is the first day of May, and May is gonna be such an exciting month!!

May 2nd:
- WeiRen's Birthday! YAY!
May 8th:
- Release of "The Host", by Stephanie Meyer
May 13th:
- Joanne's Birthday! YAY!
May 20th:
- Release of "Pendragon: Raven Rise", by DJ Machale
- Year 2 camp
May 26th:
- My Birthday! YAY!

2008-04-29T21:28:00.003+08:00

wheeeeeee..... 4 down 3 to go!

Finished math and history, minor screw-ups for both, but on the whole okay. Went to Vivo after that, to get free Ben's and Jerry's ice cream (brownie!) , and l...*classified information*...nt. Also went to montip and chameleon to look about. Bought Aisyah's Birthday present. Went to candy empire and wanted to buy a giant lollipop, but decided against it in the end.

I have Chem and English tomorrow, just hoping that i will understand what i have studied, and hoping for good ideas for the essay writing for english.

Songs that were in my head during the exam:

Barbie girl - Aqua (i know, very random)
Black and Gold - Sam Sparro
But it's better if you do - Patd (um, i think this is WeiRen's fault)

Hey look! they all start with 'B'! XD!

Oh and two more day's till May! =DDD! The month of countdowns!

Counting down to when you'll truly get out of my head

2008-04-28T20:09:00.003+08:00

Yay! Helloooooo all! 2 down, 5 to go!

Yes! I finished my chinese and physics paper, surprisingly, i made a careless mistake for Physics, and was still alive after paper 1 of Chinese. Not surprisingly, I died for paper 2. I sort of expected that.

Just a list of songs that ran through my head during the exam:

Damaged - Danity Kane (I think it was because i heard it in the morning)
Camisado - Panic at the Disco
The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage - Patd

Highlight of today, we sic-ed Wen Jun on some random seniors, including QC, and some guy who was wearing Uly's jacket. We originally wanted to sic him on Uly, but we mistook the unfortunate-guy-in-Uly's-jacket for him, and told WJ "See that gor gor over there, he very friendly one, can help us go over there and say hi?" Yupps. XDDD

Another highlight, right before physics paper, Su, Josie, Mandy and I were going kind of insane. yeah. And when Mandy left, we were trying to throw blu-tack on the ceiling and hoping it actually sticks there. XD

Oh, and guess my seat number that I was seating at during physics paper (hint: It's not 21, 42, and it is definitely smaller than 102, which cancels out most of the choices)

2008-04-27T18:57:00.002+08:00

OH yay! I've finished reading Death Note, as in the entire series! YAY!

Now, if only some one would get me Death Note 13.

Oh, and I was reading it while studying Chem, so all I was seeing was light XD.

2008-04-27T14:29:00.002+08:00

Just a completely random and useless fact: I can kick the top of my doorframe.

I know. I tried. I hurt my toe as well. XD

Oh wells, back to studying.

2008-04-27T12:56:00.002+08:00

The exams are tomorrow!!!

And I don't feel stressed at all, but now i'm worried because I don't feel stressed out. Like seriously, what the hell is wrong with me.

Tomorrow i have:

HMT: I'm gonna die for this one.

Physics: um... cake. Really, it's electricity and magnetism.

Everyone, JY! ILYA!

2008-04-25T22:20:00.004+08:00

Arghhh... the world is getting to me

I am losing my sanity

A voice in my head tells me to get up and move

Another voice in my head says to lie down and take a break

A little voice in my head warns me against cliff diving

Oddly the third one sounds like you, like soft velvet, but bubbly like champagne

2008-04-25T18:55:00.002+08:00

It's time again, to share-a-song, I think I'll make this a permanent segment on my blog.

Today, we have:

American boy - Estelle (ft. Kanye West)

Very funky and upbeat, hearts it!

Not gonna care about you

2008-04-24T15:13:00.002+08:00

At New York’s Kennedy Airport today, an individual was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule, and a calculator.

At a morning press conference, Attorney General John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. “Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,” Ashcroft said. “They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are three sides to every triangle,” Ashcroft declared.
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes. I am gratified that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from those who are willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard. Under the circumferences, we must differentiate their root, make our point, and draw the line.”
President Bush warned, “These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimal everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a higher power and begin to factor in random facts of vertex.” Attorney General Ashcroft said, “Read my ellipse. Their days are numbered as the hypotenuse tightens around their necks.”

hello, blogging from JEL, mid-mugfest 2008, gotta go back to my history notes now.

Ps. I love you

Wheee... today was speech day...

Basically, it was just speeches from two people, and a hell lot of award recipients, the performances were bare minimum. And even though i wasn't onstage, the dance was so Coolio! Unfortunately, they edited it abit, and cut out some of my favourite bits.

Well, someone from our class sitting near the middle aisle decided to fold a paper aeroplane with the handout, and throw it three rows in front, all the way to the people sitting near the side aisle. And everyone was cheering for zhi yang as he was collecting his three awards (Bio, Chem, Phys).

The exibition was more or less okay, if not a bit too loud, which means boring, as the noise tends to make me want to block out everything else along with it.

You were everywhere I look.

2008-04-22T21:30:00.002+08:00

Spent break today watching GHEY nigahiga vids. Damned funny, shall post some here. Later.

Anyways, speech day is tomorrow only have to go to school at 2, but i have this stupid zuo wen due that i really cannot be bothered to do at all. Exams are next week, and I realise that I seriously need to mug. But before that... I present you ghey videos:

2008-04-21T20:29:00.002+08:00

Hello, currently making Bio notes, which i was suppose to have completed YESTERDAY.

I just want to slack off and read manga

I think I have a thing for being onstage or something. I just WANT to perform for speech day. Feel so emo now.

I need to get a new hobby or something, like take up lindyhopping, or spanish lessons, both of which I have been wanting to do since forever. I can't write anything for my fanfics with so much thoughts crowding my brain. I need to be bubbly. I need icy. Hell, I need to go out to Bugis without my parents permission.

No, all I need is you (to be out of my head)

2008-04-20T18:53:00.002+08:00

Yay! It's time to share another song. I just felt like putting this in afte an hour of 987 strip.

Imagine - John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

I imagine you out of my head. I imagine I can't. I imagine me and you, together.

2008-04-19T18:48:00.002+08:00

Gonna go to my grandma's house in about 5 mins

Gonna face the onslaught of demands from my younger cousins screaming "Biao-jie! Can teach me to make star!" "Biao-jie! Come play with me!"

Gonna have to face my revisions again later.

Gonna face you again someday.

But it doesn't matter. Not even a seven-nation-army can hold me back.
