Guten tag!
Let’s see, we had a couple of pretty busy days now… for example, our Chinese Oral (HUGE scandal, very juicy) but I won’t say anything about it as I don’t know much, and today, our English and Chinese Paper 1s!!
That sounded funny.
Whatever man… I can throw my English to the wind and no bloody fool will damn well care. HAH. And our Examinations are coming!
Shut up all what-you-call-‘em… Through Train people! Yeah, whatever; still Myst has her Prelims which are now over…okay. Erm… Good Luck for your O shui2 zhun3!
.
Let me digress… a little okay…
22.9.04 WAS TOM FELTON’S BIRTHDAY. HAPPY…-counts- 17/18TH BIRTHDAY DRACO!!!!
Uhh… heh heh…

And my list of songs goes on!

Bowling for Soup- 1985Ashlee Simpson- Pieces of Me <-- my sis wants this. Anyone who has this song, please don’t send it to me.Ryan Carberra- On the Way DownPug Jelly- Come Home SoonAna Johnson- We AreHydell- Going Down in FlamesGoo Goo Dolls- IrisHansen- Penny and MeMcfly- ObviouslyFingers 11- One ThingAltergate- Open Your EyesSwitchfoot- Dare you to MoveLimp Bizkit- Behind Blue EyesJimmy Eats World- SweetnessOu De Yang- Hei Ban Ku DaiBlink 182- DownThe Corrs- AngelLos Lonely Boys- HeavenBusted- Thunderbirds Are Go/Air hostess/Sleeping With the Light On

Anyway, let me move on to Oral. Hahah was incredibly nervous, nearly had a nervous attack/breakdown right in front of the nicest Chinese teacher ever! She was asking me why I was like speaking so funnily in such a quavering voice and I told her I was nervous and she laughed. She commented that she was so short and etc and I was like taller than her and I was afraid of her…

Breaking News: GERARD IS SICK!! OH NOOOOOOOO!!! He’s down with the fever! Poor dear… stupid evil bug of dooooooooooooom DIIIEEE!!!

Hello, she grades me, like duh I’ll be nervous! Anyway I think I flunked the thing. She was testing us two parts larh, lang3 du2 and xing1wen2 gan2 xiang3. Then Humin was going to test our ri1 chang2 hua4 ti2.
We were supposed to walk over to 3a2’s classroom by taking one big round around the quadrangle so as to not get in contact with any of the 3a2 people. We then went to the passageway between Jireh and Ebenezer block and we called it the ping2 min2 ku3 and we stayed there for like more than an hour…

I just realized that I can blog really, really long.

Okay out of point! Please return! Hi, yes come back; don’t go through my archives… HELLO? Come back? LISTEN TO ME!!

Good.
So then we went back to 3a2 classroom larh. The second part of the oral had started liao, and Humin was testing Cheryl or something… Then the partition was open and some, no practically everyone was going into our own classroom (Our classrooms are side by side and separated by a partition which can be opened and closed) 3a1 people went in to get our stuff, I went in to take my bottle and nothing more, din’t talk to anyone, and 3a1 people were probably crowding over Samantha’s hamster, theta_ling2mong2zhu1, yes a physics symbol, a fruit and an animal rolled into one. Haha.
So then I came back and was looking at Supranee write out the National Anthem on the 3a2 board and her Menses song. Don’t ask.
Anyway I want that song. Haha.

So then humin saw some people going over, scolded the lot of us and cause we all told her we weren’t cheating at all (how to cheat? Madness man, teachers…) so we went on peacefully just that Humin said that the people in our own classroom, with the 3a2-ians were going to take the oral last. So we stayed.

And stayed.

And stayed.

Till… 5-plus.

Almost 5.30pm. was Saradevi’s turn, two more people then me. Hou lao shi then said she finished with 3a2 already and nearly screamed when she saw that 8 more people were still waiting to take oral. She then dragged 4 of us over and decided to do us. THEN wang lao shi came and screamed at us again, and decided to take us as well.
So I got Wang laoshi, the teacher who did me last year and said that I said complete tosh.

Well, this year wasn’t so bad. It was just Some General Mish Mash. My topic was on Idol Chasing, WHEN I DON’T HAVE AN IDOL she told me to get an idol after I finished stammering and cutting off my points.
I think me and idols have some sort of agenda. Last year, my ri chang hua ti WAS idol chasing! Still at least it was better than the Current affairs crap that everyone else got.

So the Chinese Oral is this complete scandal of humungous proportions etc etc etc and so on and so forth for more details go to Adeline blah blah blah…

So. Today.
Was the composition things.
I wrote absolute tosh, General Mish Mash and everything else. Drew a sorta niffly dragon later.

Chinese was a nightmare. Spent a while doing si han, gave up, did the story with is VERY VERY melodramatic and then did gong han. Then spent the last few minutes feverishly flipping though my Godsend, the Dictionary.

So now everything is okay, etc.
I spent the afternoon reading the Salmon of Doubt. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I’M GOING TO GET THE BOOK EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!!
I’m like currently working on Those Damn Computers, Rose Garden and Gretchen.

Those Damn Computers is a joint project between the glacial_phoenix who is melting due to global warming, also a protestor of said front and Norbert the sniffling dragon who has a nose problem and can’t really breathe fire.

Rose Garden is a single compilation of Norbert the sniffling dragon’s crazy thoughts about incest and the Italian Mafia and everything Kurtish and Manga-ish. It was supposed to be a comic but as she can’t do comic things like the great people at Japan can, she has to settle for story writing. This ought to have the greatest potential to come out in a book.

Gretchen is Norbert the sniffling dragon’s newest parody about Sadako. She got the idea somewhere while writing out Those Damn Computers and is still trying to get the damn egg out of the chicken’s butt. As in the idea is still developing. Very slowly.
Also has some potential to be a story. A really short one.

I have other stories larh, like Hydra, part of the Whynder Chronicles, and ummm my Warcraft one, and haven’t got a clue what to call it and bleh.

Okay. Whatever. I give up. I don’t wanna blog anymore.
Oh yeah, YILIANG YOU ROCK!!! THANKS FOR GOO GOO DOLLS’ IRIS!! YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I COULD have gotten it from jingyan…but.. oh well. ^^ hahah

Okay umm… I was supposed to type out this pointless bit on Chemistry on the last post. I kinda forgot.
And what else... nothing much ‘cept for the Physics Practical and my handphone.

So. Shall we begin?

Okay had Physics Practical on what I think should have been a Friday. Was it was it was it?
Whatever. What bit me really really bad was that I did everything (I KNEW MR LOH WAS GOING TO GIVE US A calculation of acceleration of gravity or something like that etc etc and so on and so forth….I KNEW IT I KNEW IT THE EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL MAN!!!!)
Okay. There. Ranted. So I did everything and then there was this bit that said T square.
I had no idea what that meant. Was panicking a little cos was very very slow and made plenty of mistakes like once when the cork thingy slipped and my whole string nearly went ka-phoot. Screamed a little. My ruler went down and out plenty of times making Sonia look at me as if I was mad…
Calculation was a nightmare…
Stupid stinking graph!! Who’d know that T-square DOES mean T-square!!!
ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH
I HATE PRACTICALS…………AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I cried. Cause that was like at least 5 marks down the drain.

Okay anyway,
The pointless bit on Chemistry is coming up, so watch out for it. Or not. If you’d listen to me rambling off about how scary Chemistry is then…..that’s okay. ^^

You know the bit on moles? Yeeess I never understand that chapter. I know its like dozens but … its extremely difficult for me to grasp the concept of the chapter. (Man I’m sprouting good English.) So every time I’ll spend an eon on that chapter going ‘eh?’ and referring back to the dozens of formulae found all over the place.
And now we’re on Acids and Bases. And one of everyone’s worst nightmares is me asking everyone ‘Is nickel acidic or basic?’ or ‘How about carbon? Is it neutral?’
And stupid questions like that that drive people who have good bases in Chemistry nuts. One of my best ones is,
‘You know the paper used as the Universal Indicator? How’d they use the paper to do the really strong acids like H2SO4? Doesn’t the paper like kinda dissolve?’
Then you’ll probably reply: Got the liquid form hwhat.<-not a spelling error.
‘But what if you don’t HAVE the liquid form? Hmm hmm hmm?’
Then Adeline or any other poor soul that I’m asking will give me funny looks. I found out that I can do that very well.
Driving people nuts, that is.
You know I used to think moles were literally….you know… moles…… (Coughs)
……………….
Now I know better. I hope… though I still think that very very very very small moles are in the hydrogen based acids laughing at me.
Besides, what DEFINES an acid?
The bit where the hydrogen ions giggle madly while dancing around water and electrifying them?
Or!
Um.
I dunnoe.

Okay so we move on to Saturday
I needed my handphone. Iassumed my parents had it. They confiscated it couple of months ago. They dint have it. They obviously lost it.
Okay lemme make myself clear here, I’m not mad that it’s lost (okay they are but…) I’m just mad about what my dad said.
He asked me to look for the handphone I was like
‘umm it’s been with you all for how long? How am I supposed to know where is it? YOU GUYS lost it!’
‘and why was it with us in the first place?’
‘Cos I sms too much.’
‘and why couldn’t you control yourself? Were you harassing pple?’
‘no! sheesh.’
It’s like wtf they lost it not me. When they confiscated it, it was placed in their trust. Any child’s supposed to trust their parent right? And then they lose it and round onto me and blame ME. What the heck!

We had to do this Napoleon Bonaparte thingy. And we planned to reach Woodlands Library at 10am. Went to Bishan, I think I saw some CHS people for that I need adel’s confirmation.
I never seem to get other schools uniform clear in my head.
‘It’s a sort of brown khaki shorts.’
‘What is?’
‘TCHS shorts larh… can recognise?’
‘What SORT of brown Khaki shorts?’
‘You know…’
‘No I don’t.’
‘Okay never mind I’ll show you a piccy of the shorts on MSN.’
‘Adeline do you know how despo that sounds.’ (Visualisation of shorts emerges. Wants to run away screaming)
‘Tsk… then what? Their whole body? Wait need to see if got any or not…’
-Frantic calculation-
‘Okay got.’
‘Then it’s good news to your juniors.’
‘What?’ ‘Someone new for them to ogle larh.’
‘Tsk!’
‘Well you could like just use Paint and then find the correct colour and just use it larh,…’
‘Oh yah hor... How come I dint think of that…’
So anyway went to Bishan, found ah liew… I think I’m really a sucker for the donations thingy. There was this bunch of whatever JC pple going around asking for donations to SPKC…no sorry SPCA. Yeah. I donated like 2 times to 2 different pple and bought some old lady’s tissues while waiting for ah liew. Then she and her sis and her mom came and we went to woodlands and her aunt and then… WE FOUND OUT THAT THE LIBRARY OPENS AT 12PM!!!!!!!
We had over an hour to waste away then.
We ate brunch.
Then we went back while terry her mum and aunt went some where else. Dunnoe larh… So went in there found 4 fat big books on Napoleon WE LOVE YOU WOODLANDS..!!! Borrowed them all. Wanted to see if got Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams but ah liew dragged me to popular to buy foolscap paper. So then we went and then went to Ang Mo Kio where everyone was waiting for us.
On the way there, we were ambushed again by what I think/know now as NYJC. This guy he ignored the woman in front of us and slot in nicely in front of us and went ‘please donate’ in that nice tone.
We donated. I have 4-5 stickers of the SPCA sticker in my wallet.
We got there first then saw XL and Vanessa … I love XL ¾ pants!! Hahahhaa. So then we went and sat down waiting for adel. XL said adel got her lost. Well well.
We sat and waited and attempted to read the books. I say attempted. I never said we actually READ them. Wink
Xl then saw adel.
Okay you see we were on the second floor in this tamil sort of section with all the tamil books and memorabilia yeah I know it means dead people stuff… We could see who came up the staircase which was like 315° from the pillar thing that heralded the opening of the tamil section.
Man my description of stuff is BAD!!!
Xl called adel larh to tell her that we were already there then her phone went dead. That was when adel came up. Xl was saying ‘go straight go straight go straight right in front of you..’ when adel did a 180 degree turn and all of us fainted.
Xl gave up and decided to usher adel in herself. So did everyone else.
So we found a place to do our work abeit it was right in front of masses of people and we were in full view of the walking audience outside the library……..
Xl commented that adel and ah liew were like terrorists describing their next plan when ah liew did this particularly violent description of waterloo. Vanessa’s the real terrorist. Adel and she have great plans together……….

So we did work until like… 3 plus. Or you could say we talked a lot and wrote down nothing. We were DISCUSSING. Yeeeesss…. Then we gave ourselves a break cos for some reason of the cosmos all libraries were closing that day at 4pm.
We went around to do some last minute borrowing of books we would want when I suddenly remembered that I wanted Douglas Adams’ restaurant at the end of the universe and AMK library HAD A COPY!!!!
Went to the ADA section in adult fiction.
Found nothing.
DAMN AMK!!!
Then espied a familiar figure sitting down at the same section.
‘Hi Sherilyn.’
‘Oh. Hi.’

She was reading a Piers Anthony book Good author. Cos her school Anderson near AMK libray what… so we ignored her and she us and left the library together at 4pm. Went to KFC. Spent an enriching hour there discussing MORE of Napoleon and Wellington while Sheri borrowed Adel’s ear…thingies one uses to hear the walkman/discman/handphone privately to block us all out.
Adel brought food. Everyone stole some. Including my sister. She just said that she was sitting with us only becos KFC would chase her out if she wasn’t eating.
So then we continued and my sis disappeared mysteriously in the toilet. She had a stomach ache. So we left at 5.30pm after gorging ourselves out a bit more and attempting to identify what sort of mad song the loudspeakers were playing we only identified ONE song. Linkin Park’s Numb. hahahaha
Jie went home the MRT way while we went home the bus way. I dint go with her cos I was going to church for youth service.
Yes the time changed. So we walked to the bus station and we thus separated there. I decided to take the 24 instead of the initial 22. Then behind me came a 25 which they were supposed to take. I thought I saw XL as the bus passed and decided to look out for them. Their bus was turning to the left in a junction while mine went straight. Of course I saw them, all waving… to me I waved back… ALL OF THEM LOOK SO CUUUUUUUUUTTEEEEEEE!!!!!
I really wished I had my camera then. All looked like little kids waving bye-bye… SO SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTT!!!!
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHAH

So went to church. Found Rebecca. She was eating a kit-kat white chocolate bar… mmmmmm
Was her first food of the day. Hahah. Then we talked till 6.30 then went for dinner at 7pm. Ate nasi lemak. Regretted that decision.
Sang a lot during the praising session but uncle James kept blocking me!! Naughty!! I had to sing a lot to overcome the oily voice problem. Had lots of phlegm. Evilness.
The sermon was nice and good.
After that went to Pasar Malam. Successfully drove Rebecca nuts with my British Accent and madness. She doesn’t want to acknowledge the fact that I’m mad. The world does.
WHY DOESN’T SHEEE!!!!
IT RELIEVES HER OF SUCH A BURDEN!!!!

‘You know, its better to travel with me. I’m worse than any robber/burglar that you’ll ever meet!’
‘Oh no.’

and I associate myself with waffles. I like waffles and they sound ‘fluffy’ cos of the ‘f’s like woffles. :D
Raffles doesn’t sound half as nice. It’s probably that rigid R that’s hanging over all the ‘offlesness’

Raffles raffles raffles.
Doesn’t sound half as nice as waffles waffles waffles. Or
Woffles woffles woffles.

Then I went home and watched Summer Scent <-Korean Drama…… well a tiny bit of it and Police Story. Some nice cool Jackie Chan story. YAY! He hit his head on glass in that movie, nearly electrocuted himself and jumped down on to an escalator and had hideous problems with his movie girlfriend Maggie Cheung and etc… hahaha okay gotta go bye bye!! :P

Yes. A time for me to PMS on my blog. Wonderful.
Now, any self-respecting male will not read the next few sentences. But no one listens to me anyway, so whatever.

I hate my period. the rest have been blanko'ed off for decency. Actually, to me it's quite okay. but... i don't know... and you know what to do if you want to read it.
It comes at the weirdest times, which I can successfully (pronounced sex-cessfully by Ah Liew in a very amusing chapel session) recount. For example, twice when I was swimming, once when I was doing something stupid (Like squelching along with everyone else in the mud in March/April), during my Mid-Year Examination when I was doing Geography and now at NIGHT. Damn messy. Blood all over the place. You feel like you're sqeulching in a bathtime all the time and want to kill everyone off, especially those that don't get cramps.
I think my period likes me. A lot.

So anyway,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIA JIN!!!!
Okay you can’t see this. Never mind. I have fulfilled my desire to wish you A Happy Birthday. There. Perhaps I can dedicate you Arrogant Worm’s The Happy Birthday Song.
And Jian Jin, your birthday is exactly ONE WEEK before TOM FELTON’S BIRTHDAY!!!
Which is the day my sister has to return the Terry Pratchett book, Maskerade. This reminds me, Joscelyn pronounces his name as ‘Parry Hatchett’ or ‘Perry Tratchett’. I don’t know how she pronounces it the second time but I must rectify (sp?) this mistake immediately.
Until recently she called Malfoy as Molfay or something.
I think she needs better glasses.

And I have watched Anacondas: Hunt of the Blood Orchid.
Damn lame story.
Actually I would have called it, Reticulated Python: The Overrated Story.
I would like to point out the numerous errors the dear director has made on the Anaconda, Spencer’s species of origin. PS- Spencer is a stuffed snake on my bed. I LOVE him. ^_^
The ones we get at Ikea. The bigger ones. Not the garter snakes we get there now.
Anyway, I am digressing.
You know all the anaconda pictures I’ve seen, none of them look like the movie’s anacondas. I think they fashioned the ‘anacondas’ more after vipers and pythons and bits of other poooisonnooooous snakes as well.
One, anacondas are nice docile animals, who will usually retreat rather than get on top of a boat that’s happily chugging its way across the river and murder the innocent boat man.
Two, they are not what you call, flashy, fast and they don’t attack first unless you poke them in the eye or something. They are SLOW. They don’t jump out of bushes and eat the poor jumping –mad- man up.
Three, they are DAMNED cute. Not scary and evil looking. Spencer… Ayame!! :D
Four, they are semi-aquatic. They don’t hang around in trees and chew people. They hang around trees to hide from other big scary anacondas and some great predator of the wood.
Five, on land they can become tick-infested and they cannot move as quickly as they do in water. That means they can’t slither through an empty trunk, some sort of cave hole and still be able to hiss angrily at the critter instead of its ticks.
Six, biggest mistake, ever: Hello, Mr. Director Sir, your movie was set in Borneo! Anacondas live in the Amazonian River! ... Places…stuff. Ekcetra.
Okay… can’t copy from that site… but they say anacondas don’t eat people. They sense people, they glide away. ‘NEVER attacks humans, even from the water,’ I quote.
Right. Cured of my silliness mood. Haha. I actually SEARCHED for anacondas online. Man am I stupid/free/time-wasting/stupid.

Today was one of the worst Cramp days ever. Aargh argh argh argh and etc.

Currently, I can’t remember what I’m supposed to blog about.
Ah yes… advertising. We’re supposed to advertise on some mundane everyday item. Potato/ cucumber anyone?
I think my group’s doing the scissors. But secretly I want the humble water bottle.

And I have started on Douglas Adams! He is Lovely. Simply, lovely. He is like Terry Pratchett’s favourite uncle. I saw critics using the same word on them twice Satiric or something…what does it mean? Anybody know?
I feel quite sorry for Arthur Dent y’know. Poor kid/guy/loser. He doesn’t even ACT 30-plus. Haha~!
And what happened to Trillian! She died from that Beast from Traal of sorts or something right?
I like Marvin the Paranoid Android. And E the C!!!
Eddy the Computer. Hahaha he is nice!!!
And I want to go to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Heh heh.
Myst! Lend me!

Okay. END!!!

Suddenly I don’t feel like blogging anymore.
Bugger Life.

I did so badly. So, so, so, SO badly. And now all I have to worry about is my CA grade sheet in my file and the damned ‘so-called holiday’ extra lessons. I wanna cry. I know I nearly did. But there’s no point doing so. Eva told me so. And I’m glad I took her advice.
Else I would have been… I don’t know what I would have been. What I would have done.

Anyway, XL calculated my L1R5 from my grades.
I got 21.
There was an error at first and she got 19 and Adeline just stared at me like that. Then she took the CA grade sheet and calculated again, getting the 21.
Should I still have that aspiration…? To go to RJC? Can I make it? So what, even if I did, can I stay there? Manage good grades?
Anyone with GEP Brains who DARES to interrupt me at this point will die within the hour. I’ll get Myst-jie to send all of you unlabelled tapes about this psychic woman combing her hair with this mad grin on her face.

To slog just to get the grades that you guys get without lifting a finger. To see all of you get better grades than me when you really try hard to study. To see me being ridiculed left out alone, for being that smart-alek kid who thinks she can get into RJC and stay there.
Oh, how I laugh.




I’m scared, damn it, scared!








I don’t even know why I’m online at this time.
Now to leave before my dad pokes at me for being sentimental or before I delete this entire thing when I change my mind.
