Haven't blogged for a loooooong time. Went back to TCHS yesterday. Visited the library first thing. Hah. The juniors were doing stuff and we went to ka-jiao them. And the teachers too. And Ms Koo said I became thinner. Hmm...interesting. I didn't know I could get any thinner...........Then, after much crap-talking and doing nothing with juniors(their perfect opportunity to slack), Yi Han, Cheng Leng and I went to the staff room. Sadly, LeeKS wasn't there and Chua wasn't there too(she doesn't come on fridays, I forgot). Meow wasn't there too! Then we realised that we had achieved ultimate lameness-level infinity! Why? Coz...

I came up with the idea of writing a note for meow saying that CL and I came back, writing something like me and CL "dao4 ci3 yi4 you2". Haha..so Monkey King right. And so we did. Yi Han suggested adding 'Did you find your table wet? It's because we you2-ed here.' -----_____---- (read: you2=swim)

Then Mrs NgSH's table. We wasted a whole bunch of (her) post-its. Haha. You know how?

Post-it 1: Just a very small note for you...
Post-it 2: To say hi...
Post-it 3: Don't pressurize(F/A) yourself too much...
Post-it 4: Do you feel that...
Post-it 5: your post-its have been wasted?
Post-it 6: If not....
Post-it 7: here's another one!!
Post-it 8: Smile always! =)
Post-it 9: *Jian Ming (who popped in halfway)
Post-it 10: *Jeremy
Post-it 11: *Cheng Leng
Post-it 12: *Yi Han

And we pasted the whole bunch together and left it on her table. (p.s. the F/A thingy was because she taught physics)
How? Later she meet me at library camp when I return and scold me. Haha..

Next. We went to ChuaLC's table to take her infamous sweets. We didn't dare to take at first. Then I counted 1,2,3. Then I opened the can and Yi Han took. Haha..-_-' Anyway, we went to Leeks table. Then we came up wth the idea of writing another note to Leeks which ended up something like this:

(On a piece of [his] block paper)
We are here.
We were here.
We are gone.
We will be back.
May the force be with you--Yoda
(p.s. Too bad didn't get to see your new hairstyle)
Yi Han 4L04
Jeremy 4K04


(On another piece of [his] block paper)
We are here.
We were here.
We are gone.
We will be back.
May the force be with you--Yoda
(p.s. Too bad didn't get to see your new hairstyle)
Jeremy 4K04
Yi Han 4L04

Notice the difference? Haha...to wrap everything up...we left the two notes placed under a book, together with an empty Smarties pack. Haha...the Smarties pack was from ChuaLC's can and actually Yi Han wanted to leave the half-eaten pack there but I thought there might be ants...so we emptied the pack and left the empty wrapper there. Hahahahahahahaha.

I miss TCHS! And its *cough cough* wonderful *cough cough* teachers. =D

If you're a believer in horoscopes and you're a Gemini, here goes.

*disclaimer. I think the fun part in horoscopes is proving how un-true they are. Haha!

For the month of May: You're in a party mood this month, and everyone knows what that means: get ready, world! While you might be opting for that chic little black number (someone define this..), just remember to be yourself and let your personality shine, instead of hiding behind someone else's idea of cool. You'll have so much more fun this way. Your Gemini characteristics seem to come out in full force this month, so you can expect a double dose of playfulness, fun and yes...mind-changing! While it's alright to be undecided, it's another thing to promise one thing and do another. Be careful!
In school: Gossip alert! You seem to be on someone's tabloid hot list, and your name has been making its rounds among your classmates. Keep your cool, it'll blow over soon enough.

Obviously it's not true as I am not playful, fun, and being on tabloid lists is the last thing on earth that would happen.

Here's another one for bloodtype O: (from Jun teens mag. which actually had a poster of s..s..sly. OMG. *disgust* haha..)
People with Type O blood...

• are social butterflies. Because of their gregarious characters, they are often the life of the party and people are automatically drawn to them. Type O people are also very generous with their friends.
• are social leaders. When in a group of people, they tend to be the ones who make the decisions and set the pace.
• are easily influenced by the people or things around them. They are most likely to be taken in by celebrity endorsements or persuasive advertisements.
• have short attention spans. They have a tendency to get easily distracted, and often abandon projects or plans halfway.
• are flexible and open to new ideas and concepts. They are also very adaptable to new environments and surroundings.
• can be careless with details, and less trustworthy with important tasks. Mistakes are a common occurence with Type Os, but they get away with them cause of their cheery and friendly personalities.

As you can see, it's super untrue. I'm generous with my good friends (if circumstances allow it) but since when am I a social butterfly?!?! And much less social leaders. I'm not easily taken in by celebrity endorsements because I don't like s....s...sly. Maybe persuasive advertisements yes. Haha. Short attention span? Doubt so..I think. The only projects I abandon are my computer game save files. And I go back to continuing the games after sometime to complete them. And I don't adapt to new environments well. I take a long time to open up. I dislikes changes...I often wonder why we have to leave our friends. Leave my lower sec clique, 4K(which has been a very wonderful class), leave the club(I know that sounds dumb to most of you), and departures after first three months.

Today, watched the council investiture and had a lot of thoughts about it. I want to watch again next year!! Provided the exchanging gifts part was a tradition thing lah. I thought that part was extremely nice. You could see all the friendships forged and how genuine (I hope) they were. I liked the balloon that Yisheng gave too! Haha. Cause it has winnie-the-pooh. -_-' Watched a lot of it last time when I was young. Maybe if I had watched Sesame Street then my GP would not have so much trouble now. And Seb was cool as usual with his dance moves! Maybe next time we would see him during Singapore Arts Fest performing. Haha. I liked one of the visors..but forgot which one already. And. SOME people were drooling all over a few particular councilors. *ahem ahem* Alomst got drowned by sitting next to them.

Wee~I just realised from the talk today that I have a 'large bank of self-esteem' or something. Because, throughout the years I've been hurled insults many times. Saying stuff like childish, haven't grow up, and others. And of course the whole thing about cca. But never mind. I may be childish, but at least I'm not naive. It's better to be childish in some not-so-significant areas than have an immature mind in other areas. And in any case, what I'm doing is not against moral values or even illegal. -_-

Many people tend to form their opinions based on the majority. Why? It doesn't always make sense.

Oh well. Maybe it's just pure rambling from a person-belonging-to-the-minority's point of view.

Sometimes I really want to scream at my parents. They were scolding me for not doing what I was supposed to do today. Iron my uniform. I still do not see what is the difference between ironing in the morning and ironing at night. Then when I do that at night they say I do stuff last-minute. It's not like I iron my uniform tomorrow morning right?! Then of course they went on (as usual) to scold me for other things. Look, this is what I did this morning.

630am woke up to go and swim.
8am bought breakfast for them
9am reading/thinking about pw.
10am playing
12pm listening to long hu bang/vacuum the floor
2pm eat lunch
230pm got scolded by them

Hello? The house was quite messy and they blamed ME for it. And what were they doing? My mom was praying for 1hour when she woke up(at 830am) and went to the market then cooked. My father woke up at 830am too then ate breakfast then watched tv then went back to sleep. And he wakes up to find the room in a mess and blamed ME. Hello, hello. Then my mom said I should not have been doing my own things but help to do housework instead. Hello again, I swept the floor ok. And it's not like praying is not 'own things'. And my father was SLEEPING ok. And he just wakes up in a bad mood and scolds me. It's not my fault that we planned to meet online at 3pm to do pw. Which is just after they finish scolding and I'm supposed to iron my uniform, because I've lost as usual.

ARGH. Can't stand them. Grrr.

Quote of the day--

"Chinese Language Elective Scholarship

'We regret to inform you that you have not been selected for the above mentioned scholarship. However, we hope that your being in the Language Elective Programme (Chinese) will further deepen your love for Chinese Language and Literature. We wish you an enjoyable journey of discovery ahead.' "

Thanks a lot, Mole. Thanks for providing me with such a wonderful education system that has moulded me to become the sarcastic, satirical, cynical and critical person that I am today. Thanks. I deeply appreciate your continual effort and I am sure you can feel my utmost gratitude that surfaces from the downright bottom of my heart.

When Wei Zheng passed to me the wretched letter, I saw a flash of the word 'regret'. Then I wondered whether it could write "We regret to inform you that you have been selected for the above mentioned scholarship".

It's not all about the 1000 bucks. (or bugs.) Now I definitely can't go for the Taiwan/China immersion trip at the end of the year unless I pick up a few thousand dollars worth of cold, hard cash on the road (FYI, it's about as much chance as I would be joining track and field.) or unless my father strikes the lottery. (FYI, it's about as much chance as I would grow to like the brown pod things called cockroaches.) The point is, with the scholarship, you get to go for the trip free. And without, you don't. Initially, I was freaked out because I thought the trip was compulsory and I knew I couldn't afford to go. After that, I found out that it wasn't compulsory. You could not go and stay to be attached to the press to be a reporter. So I felt better. Anyway, I can't stay sad for long one. I'm an optimist. Max of one day and I'll be ok. (OK doesn't mean forget but mean look on the brighter side of things)

And thanks to all those who comforted me. Ethel, Yayan, Zuohou, Ying Hong Wei Ying, Adeline, Naga and any other person whom I've missed out...in er...no order of merit.

And I began to think about why I didn't get the scholarship. I mean, I was prepared for this kind of thing to happen. That was why I didn't tell my parents about it. In case it happened and my parents will be disappointed and my mom will go 'See lar, I told you to read more chinese books and less comics.' Whatever. At least I attempt to watch the news everyday during dinner. But I want to know why I didn't make it. My shortcomings...I came up with a few reasons why the adorable Mole didn't give the 1000 bugs to me. (Assuming perfect competition i.e. everyone has no shortcomings.)

1. I didn't take C. Lit in secondary school. Instead, I went to study about little lumps of land called volcanoes. 3/4 of the scholarship holders from our class took C. Lit in sec school. So they weren't convinced that I had enough love for Chinese.
2. (To t hem)I didn't have enough potential to be a good enough Chinese teacher in the future. Because I am shy and introverted. That is quite absolute rubbish. Introvert make good teachers too. Maybe it's because I said that nowadays students are more and more difficult to handle. (refer to here)
3. My cca is library. If it is because of this and because I'm not from some other more glamorous cca, then I would rather die than take the scholarship and apologise for choosing such a lousy cca and promise to change cca.
4. I AM A FREAKING DARNED B---O---Y. why. People talk about gender equality. Haha, it's so funny. They don't want to take too many boys because last year, a lot of male scholarship holders had theirs terminated after one year so they didn't want to waste their 1000 bugs on the unfortunately wretched male species of homo sapiens (read Animorphs). And they just made a freaking huge and obvious fallacy. Overgeneralization. This information came from Wei Zheng. Talk about equality of the sexes. Heh.

Well, I have to thank Mole again. Do keep up your good work at changing your education policies more often than people change sex partners. (note: incessant rambling on my part) And please keep the string of new warped and highly-ineffective, -inefficient, unfeasible policies coming! They give me something to do in my free time: Ridiculing at the ridiculous policies and worrying for my juniors the young ones who will suffer under these absoloooootely wonderrrrrrrrrrfuLL policies. Oh, and using my vivid imagination to imagine what the world will be like in the future. Everyone would be carrying a half-bucketful water on each shoulder--one bucket from England, one bucket from China. Or even better, only half-bucketful of water from England on one shoulder and being unable to balance properly, trip and fall and die.

Muhahaahahahaha. Maybe it's better for me to stay in Singapore to be attached to the press to write articles. I like writing zuo wen(s) to laugh at the policies come up by Yours Truly.

Thanks Mole! I will definitely have an enjoyable journey of discovery ahead-discovering how bureaucratic Yours Truly is.

=) (please do not think I am a weak and fragile person who has nil EQ and AQ. It's normal to feel down when the impact hits you. As you can see [very] clearly from this entry, I'm ok now.)

yayay. The school wasnt TCHS. Anyway, I feel the same way as what the LEP teacher today. For certain stuff you really can't bear to allow others to speak bad about. Sometimes it's not about yourself but stuff like school, nation.(talk about national loyalty and sense of belonging...)

Other than the NYGH girls and TCHS boys fighting at story-telling competition and wolverine claws, sometimes I feel indignant when my father says I should try to go RJC instead of HCJC. Then I would be like, HELLO?!?!?! I will DIE there because my english sucks. Ok la, more so the english environment. And he's telling me to go there cause he hears RJ is better than HC. Dunno whether it's true, but he should not base his opinions on hearsay like that. Hmph. Especially when he doesn't mean it. Like he would just say-say only.

And...in the past...well, actually now also. I hate it when I hear people putting down my cca. Be it current cca or previous cca. *cough, cough* Nobody has any right to put down any cca just because it's not a sport. That's super unfair.

Extra! Extra!

News of a teacher teaching around Bukit Timah Area in a boys' school molesting student has been heard. Can it be the infamous TCHS? *gasps* Which other school can it be?

O-M-G. Pray its not TCHS. Pray. Though quite useless.

Coz it would mean that the teacher is gay. Omg. Because (unfortunately) usually only males do these kind of stuff. Unless it's a female this time. *double gasp* Do stay tuned.

Wee~ I finally tidied up my worksheets already. Normally I would take out all the unused worksheets from my file when clearing it (yes I actually clear it) and dump them in a section of my shelf. Then just now I classified them according to subjects. LEP, Chem, Maths, Econs, GP, Miscellaneous/Rubbish. Then when I sifted through the Miscellaneous/Rubbish, I found that 90% of them were PW stuff. -_- The other 10% were school notices about EEP and such. I felt inclined to say that the miscellaneous stuff consisted of school notices only. (and thus PW=rubbish) Haha. But it's not lah. Just that before the questions came out we thought it was a rubbishy period. Haven't done the group proposal yet. *declares proudly* I'm an efficient group leader ok!

Spastic (Chem) Spa.

Today, I was almost squashed to death.

Today, on bus 157, upon boarding the bus, I sat down innocently at those kind of horizontal 3-seater on the bus. Those which are on both sides and you face the person sitting opposite you. I was listening to my discman, song Aurora by Angela Zhang.

Everything was peaceful and serene.

Then came the....I mean a...(might be 'it')..

extremely obese woman with trotter-like hands and legs. Her fats were those saggy type which shook with every movement. And wobbled vigorously when she walked. She came to sit beside me. She came to sit down HEAVILY beside me. I bounced. As in, on those SBS buses, when another person sits down beside you, sometimes you will feel your seat inflate a little then deflate to normal again. But I BOUNCED.

Then, what's more, her equally fat friend came along and the fat pig beside me heaved herself up a bit to make space for her friend. (And a lot of space, too) She SQUEEZED in my direction and left me with very little space...I think I only took up 1/2 a seat out of 3 seats. So both pigs combined took up 2.5 seats. Each pig took up 1.25 seats. I suspect the figure was higher. Anyway, throughout the bus journey, I was half-squashed, half-squeezed and almost dropping out of the seat. You know those kind of seats have a small bar at the side that is empty at the bottom? My leg was being pushed under the bar already. Yihan suggested getting up to change seats but I think I couldn't get up even if I tried. I could feel the warmth emitting from her nice armpits. The warmth was condensing on my arm and forming a little pool of sweat soon. Luckily they got off the bus first, before my stop. I could feel myself gasping for breath when they left. I mean, if you are fat, never mind lah. But please try to be considerate can?!?!?!?!?

Doesn't mean I wear size 40 shirt and size 31 pants and weigh 45kg then you can squash me. Thin people are living beings leh, don't try to squash them to bits.

Your cooperation is deeply appreciated.

Today during maths lecture, a certain heartwarming scene was displayed in front of us, in front of the whole LT.

A certain person helped Yayan to claim her well-deserved Kit-kat from the maths lecturer for pointing out a mistake on the visualizer.

*one, two, three*

AWWWW SO SWEET!!!

Yucks. Haha. Anyway, PW lesson today waas sring. (sring=sian+boring) Sounds like sirui. Never mind that...the main objective of this post is to report about the AWWWW SO SWEET!!! part. People who didn't catch this absoloooootely fantastic tear-jerking scene should ask me about it. Actually you can ask Wei Zheng also. Hahahaha. Oops. =x

One day, a group of mice decided they were bored and wanted to travel out of their mousehole.
Mouse A: Let's go to Cornwall!
Mouse B: Ok! We go tomorrow! This is organised by me as I've only planned the date! Must go arh~
Mouse C: Ok, since it's organised by you, I shall inform all the mice of the trip!

-On the day of the event-

The mice reach Cornwall and started eating corn, duh~ Mouse B saw some cats eating cheese and went over out of curiosity.
Mouse B: Hi! Why are you eating cheese? I thought you were supposed to eat mice.
Cats: We're eating them so that you mice have nothing left to eat and thus will die! Then we can eat you all! Clever right? You want to join us?
Mouse B: Wah! So clever! (looks around for orchid) Ok!

-Mouse B and some other mice goes to eat cheese-

Mouse A+C:Where's B? I thought this was planned by her!! How come she's gone to eat cheese instead of corn...so corny!!!
The other mice eating corn: Whatever....you can't blame them lah. Mice like to eat cheese by nature mah.

~end of story~

Don't ask me what it means if you don't know. Then again, try asking me. I might tell you....

But anyway no one is blaming anyone lah. Just that I feel a bit yi2 han4. (raphael you don't have to comment.)


Haiz. Why some people like that? Say that those people who use 'raffia' to tie their blouses(the plural is not blice right? since mouse-mice...then again, house-houses. ok.) look like balloon. Don't like that lah...after all we are all part of the HC fAmily...we come here to take the A-level exAminations only...though some come here to take humAnities program lah. People late a bit only don't have to say them balloon right. we also never say you have about 100 grammar mistakes after talking for about 1 minute. oops! I just did right. =x

I LOVE PW~! Ethel too. But she loves it for a different reason from me. Hah.
Right. I so disagree that blogging is wrong, amidst all the rubbishy arguments against youngsters keeping an online diary.

Keeping a blog does not neccessarily means keeping an online diary. So you have no reason to go around complaining that teenagers nowadays would rather show their diary(something considered very private) to the rest of the Internet world than their parents. In any case, to most people, a blog is something like an online diary but the point is the stuff they write is not something like a diary. At least, it's not as private as a diary. So it's not that they would rather share they private thoughts with someone they know than their parents or something. Besides, we didn't lock our parents out from our blog right? It's not our fault if they are computer-illiterate ok. I'm not stopping my parents if they want (and know how) to read this rubbish I'm writing.

And the government is complaining that we teens are not speaking up right? Hello harebrains, a blog is DA purrrfect place to voice our dissatisfactions and complaints. So shut up about 'blogging is evil'.

And blogging can help in language ok. Although my english is still as rubbishy as ever. And although I admit that a lot of people do blog in teensy language. (I admit I was like that but obviously I've gotten over it)

Blogging has nothing, NOTHING(I think) to do with meeting new people, unlike IRC and stuff. I don't go on IRC now anyways. And it's not like keeping a blog will help you meet new people. What, you sign up with blogger, and poof! A stranger comes out and say hi? Rubbish. People can only read your blog if they KNOW the url ok. Unless they blog-hop,skip,jump to other places. And provided you are stupid enough to announce your contact details to the whole world so that they can come and harass you.

And I find it ironic that parents are warning us about the dangers of using the Internet too much. Especially those who are computer-illiterate. How can you warn someone about something's dangers when you know nuts about it? It means you're hearing from other people. I thought they taught us in primary school that to dao4 ting1 tu2 shuo1 is wrong.

Blogging has nothing wrong. Really.

And I was sitting at a neighbouring table to Michelle Chia and Shaun Chen!!! (and some of their non-celebrity friends, don't be scandalous.) he had her hair tied into a bun and she was very pretty in person. Shaun looked buffer but he wasn't clean-shaven(on purpose?) and I thought he looked quite awful.
