Note: My new blog layout doesn’t exactly suit me, but I like the messiness of it and it’s also VERY IMPORTANTLY, less stressful on the eye.

Now as my inbox loads and I finally get to see what emails I have missed in one week, which isn’t much, I shall blog a lot on my group and eventually the Pre U Seminar, which is collectively known as the Amal FC after about five days of eating, sleeping during lectures/presentations and cheering Amal’s name in general. I had wanted us to be known as the Great8 but it never really caught on.
Our group is a rather interesting group of people with great distinct characters from all walks of life. Oh this sounds so weird.
Anyway, the beginning was rather chilly and such, we didn’t really bond together really, until the Pre-U seminar itself where we really laughed and played and slept together!
Ummm. That is, sleeping during lectures.
Our Student Liaison Officers (SLOs) are: Nazri, Jialing and Zhongri and they’re all from PJC. I’ll be doing the names in accordance to what they wrote on the conference file, which means that the people that I am close to are right at the back. Ah hahaha.

I just realized that whatever I am going to type here can be used for testimonials. Hmmm.

First, I’ll talk about my SLOs as Jialing wanted it this way.

Jialing [PJC] is cool-headed, the leader of the SLOs and decidedly the most responsible of them all (as she’s the oldest). She’s from Hockey and naturally loves her CCA and us as well. We have a lot of fun together and she’s the one who started the entire ‘Amal, Amal!’ thing as I think she felt that Amal sounded like a maid’s name. Jialing is a fervent camera taker and the teacher of the Bimbo cheer, be it the first one or the second one. She is usually classified as a ‘he’, and the classifier is usually hit with her big file. She’s a big softie but she doesn’t show it, only on the last day when she was quite saddened by the end of Pre-U Seminar. We all love her very much and would like to call her ‘Mummy’ but Huihui already won that spot by sheer physical maturity. She knows how to be fun and strict at the right time but takes her duties seriously. She knows how to play the guitar too! And do funny things with her camera.

Zhong Ri [PJC] started most of the rumours, methinks. He’s a very funny guy, with his nasally voice which sounds extremely bored at times. When he plays the ‘Give me Tempo Ready Go’ game, it completely destroys the game as he completely kills the mood. But he is a very fun-long person and teases practically everyone. He takes many pictures and gave out free hugs on the last day, saying that they’ll cost on the next day. He started the Amal cheers and thought up of the songs and stuff and he is a closet Bleach fan. On the last night, he stayed up with us only to watch Bleach. His handphone has ‘My Pace’ by Sunset Swish. He is a very amusing guy and it is hard to believe that I am a year older than most of the people here, including him. People have said that I don’t act my age but then again, who does? He teases most people as well, including Jialing and mostly, Amal. He loves to play games, especially the random games like ‘Tookitooki’ and usually initiates them.

Nazri [PJC] is a scandalous bugger and he knows it. We all discovered his dark and outrageous side on the last day when we played ‘I have…’ He and Kugan were the only ones left and in order to eliminate either one, both had to come up with things which he was sure the other party has done, so that they will not be the last person standing. The last person standing is the most scandalous person around. Nazri won. He had three fingers, Kugan had one. Apparently, he has weird tastes, especially on his secondary school’s Vietnam trip when he and his friends were approached by prostitutes, chased by transvestites and drunkards, and made a prank call to the principal to see if he wanted a prostitute. It’s quite easy to guess what school he’s from but I won’t mention it here for fear of tarnishing that school’s record. Nazri is a good guitar player and brought the source of George’s/James’ delight for the Pre-U Seminar, which was the guitar. He only knows how to play a select few songs and is very generous with lending his guitar around. Nazri is also quite responsible as a SLO though he vanishes at times – but he’s a very fun-loving guy.

Now here are the team mates! Much <3 to EVERYONE!

Yes, so the first person I met was Amal Naemah [TJC] who had to leave early for her cultural performance thing during the briefing. She’s this Singaporean who lives in Malaysia, only coming back to Singapore to study in junior college. Kind of like an ASEAN scholar. Anyway, somewhere in between the week we spent together, our SLO, Jialing got it into her head to call her ‘Amal, Amal, Amal!’ really quickly, sort of like a maid. And it stuck. It really stuck – in our cheers and songs and random events where we’d just cheer/blame/forfeit Amal with everything that we have. Technically, it’s bullying but it is affectionate. She’s like cheerleader fodder for us. We call her to clean up and sing random Barney songs about her. She usually gets terribly embarrassed by all the attention but on the last day she was soaking it all in – a born bimbo. She bathes everyday, twice, without fail and has never gone for a night without brushing her teeth. She didn’t have an education in Singapore so the weird random games that we play, like ‘Bangbangbang, who died?’ or ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy’ are completely new and foreign to her. We take great pleasure in teaching her the rules of the games.

Next would be Huihui or Hwee Hwee [NYP] who is my school’s neighbour somewhat. She’s quite outspoken and driven to do what she wants and is the most mature (and the oldest) member in the group. She’s the fun sort – bringing her laptop and food for the entire team to eat and enjoy and letting us watch movies on her laptop. She’s rather close to Elizabeth and they spend a lot of their time together. She’s a regular sleeper during panel discussions. I think she’s rather cool – I find most poly students cool as they know what they want in life while I don’t. Huihui’s a very open person as well. I like her glasses the most as they really stand out and I have a soft spot for orange. I want to cut my hair like hers. Ah haha. She’s really cheerful most of the time and though she’s pissed she doesn’t really show it and is really, really, terribly diplomatic. I like her voice too! And she’s usually the ringleader for our bunch of girls, doing entertaining stuff every now and then. Huihui plays the guitar as well – Puddle of Mudd’s ‘She Hates Me’ and other tunes. Hui Hui worked with Jaryl and me for the Project Proposal.

Then there’s Beverley [CJC] who became my roommate and in the words of Fazlina, we are ‘complete slobs’ and are terribly messy. She has this amazing ability to bathe within ten minutes flat, where no change in bathroom, towel or time of the day can ever change. We are both terribly messy people and she is considered rather open and scandalous as well, with her multiple stories and funny events. She was our leader together with Lijie and they were both rather okay leaders who chivvied us and poked us whenever we weren’t really doing our jobs. Her handphone is permanently set to 5am in the morning and she sets 5 alarms before she can wake up, unlike my two alarms. Her alarm consists of the song ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ by My Chemical Romance. She’s quite a determined character and does what she says she’ll do and doesn’t stop until it’s done. She really loves her school as well, and when probed, can give many, many interesting facts about her life. Bev understands Chinese and has the popular Hanakimi songs inside her handphone.

Elizabeth [MJC] was the butt of the group’s jokes and the one most picked on during ice breaker games as her name was the easiest to remember. It’ll be like a game of Whacko and the word ‘Elizabeth’ will come out like at least three times. She has a very distinct voice, loud, clear and piercing and is a slight health freak. She is famous for eating her apples, especially during her school’s presentation where she was a student and she ate an apple in the classroom scenario. The mike was so close that it could catch the sounds of her biting and chewing her apple, even after her performance was over. Apparently she didn’t know that one had to keep apples chilled – she did that only recently because the apples tasted nicer when they were cool. Her court shoes were the best court shoes of all, soft, flappy and comfortably peeling at the soles. She is also known as a guy, for in the conference file, though her name is Elizabeth, she is put down as a male – and she’s in MJC’s soccer team.

Fazlina [JJC] has a cool blazer that’s black and a nice school logo. She and I tease James a lot because it is very easy to do so. She told me that she has worms in her stomach, which explains her thinness and she is an ardent fan of Planet Earth, the documentary series, making her a Very Good Friend of mine. We have both agreed that Sir David Attenborough’s voice is nice and sexy voice for a man so old. When we sit down for a conversation, we usually talk about many random things and she’s usually amazing one person with her knowledge of the earth gleaned from Planet Earth. She spent the last day of Pre-U seminar talking about constipation and had many, many of us in stitches half the time - firstly because she told of her ardent desire to de-constipate herself to a group of us, where I was the only female. She had just walked into the circle and declared self-righteously of the fact before I commented that this was not a very appropriate topic to talk in front of a group of guys, sending everyone laughing, which just led her on. This topic lasted a very long time, probably half of the closing ceremony. She sat behind me on the trip of the Istana on Thursday and stopped me from falling off the chair when the bus turned as I was sleeping. She is the second person to say that I am ‘very nice’ and is one of the three JC2 students in our group, including me.

Mirabella [NUS High], or Mira is a soft spoken but incredibly scandalous girl who once put bread crumbs on her friend’s shirt because she didn’t like her and hoped that ants would come to her friend’s clothes. She has done many, many scandalous things which we found out in a game of Truth and Dare/Question and Answer section on the last night of Pre-U Seminar. She has a very amusing Chemistry teacher from Nigeria. Mirabella is the quiet person in our group but she’s really affectionate and did a heart for our Seminar Group (SG) when everyone was worrying about the project. She doesn’t shirk from her duties and is willing to pull her weight when it comes to doing work. She enjoys teasing Amal as well and can speak wonderful Chinese for a non-Chinese student.

George [SAJC] is the coolest, cutest, most serious character in our group. He is a man of few words and fewer expressions. He grew quite close to Kenny, who enjoys laughing at me. He rarely laughs, only chuckling or just smiling whenever we burst out into laughter around him. When playing the Tookitooki game, he messed up and we laughed. Then he said ‘Sorry’ in such a serious manner that we laughed all the more. He is one of the few who do not tease Amal and hence is linked with her – he wanted to see her cry and was rewarded on the last day. We call him a Saint because he’s from SA and because he’s one of the best behaved students around. On the last day, he was one of the few who paid most attention to the live feed of the Minister of Education walking around and previewing our videos as he felt that it was a pity that the Minister came and we were not paying attention to him. George is mildly fascinated by the polished look of the Minister. He is a staunch Christian and plays the guitar exceptionally well. He usually provides background music when we are gathered together to do work or play. George also taught James the rudiments of guitar. When he was younger, he mistook this man as his father and hugged him. He realized his mistake only after he had walked away from the man. He is quite an artist as well and works with Flash occasionally. George also picked up hair-blowing from me and it works for him, unlike some people. George is also the sixth person to say that I am ‘very nice’ in my autograph book.

Gerard Andrew James [NJC] has an exceptionally hip name and is known as The One Hobbit for obvious reasons. He is cool and appreciates any music, able to come up with a beat for any piece of music that anyone plays. He has great aspirations in life – with much interest in the UN – and a very distinct laugh, usually sending everyone else into more laughter. He is a good actor, hosting his school’s presentation as Gerard James, coining the phrase ‘Always late but worth the wait!’ for his Late Show with Gerard James. Gerard wore the top hat made by Amal for our presentation. He started the entire Westlife craze in our group, where one person would play Westlife songs loudly on the handphone and everyone would join in singing with much gusto. His voice is rather pleasant and quite flexible, ranging a few octaves. His name is Gerard, not James and I occasionally confuse his name for Jaryl. His school’s blazer is as obvious as mine.

Li Jie [SRJC] is loud, very affectionate and confident of her abilities. She immediately formed good and close ties with Yuh Yiing and became her younger sister, partially because they were room mates. She is also a leader together with Beverley and both of them did well as leaders for the group. Eventually she took James as her older brother and has not stopped making fun of him since. She is unafraid to voice out when she does not understand something and does not give up until she has fully understood all that she does not understand. She is a Christian as well, like George and occasionally asks for songs from him. She likes my art and asked me to do her name nicely for her. She sleeps quite early and injured her arm during the Pre-U Seminar. When she dislikes something, she will immediately show her dislike for it and cite reasons for doing so. Her voice is quite distinct as well, just as Gerard’s laugh is. Li Jie takes her studies very seriously.

Jaryl George Solomon [PJC] is another student with two names and a same name as someone else in the group. He is from the English Drama club is an immensely helpful character, one of the few who helped out in the Project Proposal. I once commented that he looked lost but he replied that it was how he usually looked so I didn’t probe any further. His character is mild and he’d rather wait patently for you to invite him before he will include himself in the activities, making his politeness is one of his plus points. Jaryl is a forward-looking JC2 student who knows my cousin and is the fourth person to say that I’m ‘very nice’ in my autograph book.

Keith [TPJC] is the person whose handphone is plagued with the most pictures of me, as ODAC traditions have made me a shameless camera whore and I have shamelessly inserted myself into many of his pictures as his camera phone is the one that is most often out His entire history of getting into TPJC is rather interesting but when I heard it at 2.30am in the morning, I didn’t pay much attention as my brain capacity had already dropped severely. He is, to put it bluntly, a slacker and can be considered rather devoted to his girlfriend whom we are all immensely familiar with, no matter what he says. He is the person who introduced the Barney theme song to us and inspired Zhong Ri to change it to suit the Amal theme we are currently going through. He likes annoying me, just as I like crashing his camera phone pictures. He is an amazing sleeper, able to sleep standing or sitting in the auditorium or lecture theatre effortlessly. He leads a very interesting life and has had gay phone calls to him before. He teases Amal as well, and was once considered gay with James who was quite offended. Keith played the gay character out quite well though. When we were doing our project feverishly as it was almost the deadline, he was in a corner calmly talking to his girlfriend and occasionally calling the members over to ask for their opinion on his girlfriend’s attire. He is the third person say that I’m ‘very nice’ and calls me a witch. He likes teasing me and my crushed toes in my shoes and reacts mildly to pokes. Oh yes, Keith doesn’t like NEWater.

Yiting [SP] didn’t go for the Pre-U Seminar as at the very last minute, something had cropped up for her project and she had to salvage the situation. She appears to be a very enthusiastic and fun-loving girl.

Kenny [Ngee Ann P – I have to spell it out, else it’ll be NAP] has a laugh which complements George’s quiet nature very well. He doesn’t like pictures or doing lame things and tends to find many things boring. We were put together to go for the Personal E-Motion workshop and both of us have never found any workshop so entirely un-stimulating to our ears that we just tuned out and watched pretty videos on Youtube. He has criticized much on my Crab and thus let me watch how the Mona Lisa was drawn on MS Paint, as well as this picture of a car. He’s an okay sort of guy la. Hahaha. He makes fun of me, especially when I was sleeping on the trip to Istana and is the first person to say that I’m ‘very nice’ after he realized that an autograph was not to merely sign your signature, but to also add something nice about the person. He’s quite a practical, down-to-earth person.

Kugan [YJC] is my ex-junior who is in choir and probably has an Italian chef. He studies Biology like me and left AJC because he couldn’t take the mugger mood in the school any longer. He’s quite a relaxed character and has burned down his grandfather’s house down before when he was four and playing with matches. He’s well-traveled because of his wealth and is quite an amusing character. Kugan is vaguely addicted to MSN and kept finding a reason to go online during the Seminar, citing reasons that he has to talk to his mother/grandmother/teacher/Thai girlfriend (note the feminine persuasion) which is true – sort of, when it comes to the Thai girl. He uses ridiculous reasons to find chances to talk to her and is a notorious hogger of the laptop. The entire issue about him and MSN started out when someone caught him talking to a girl who would count down the number of days until he returned from Pre-U Seminar. He’s very passionate about the choir and plays ‘You Raise Me Up’ by Josh Groban at least twice a day and choral songs every other time. He is usually stuck to a computer.

Then there’s my other dear girl, Yuh Yiing [RJC] who is from band and is a sort of surrogate mother/older sister to Lijie and James. They have a very complicated relationship. She is extremely, extremely lame by Raffles standard. She has been under that school banner for the past six years. She is completely and utterly bored but in love with her school. She has the amazing ability to sleep during lectures and yet come up with decently interesting questions for the speaker after the talk. She’s a very good manager of people as well and laughs most uproariously at most things. She is my dear on even days and Evelyn is my dear on odd days. We have a peaceful equal triangular relationship and we love each other. (James is very disgusted.) She’s a patient person and doesn’t lose her temper easily, able to dissipate any tense situation with a lame joke of hers. She is currently in love with the colour green and is usually worried about her skirt when it comes to wear blazers in windy places.

Fazrudin [MI] is a closet Japanese anime (Shaman King) fan, hates Hao (why!) and loves Do as Infinity. He’s the big and helpful person who goes around like a very large mother hen and helps to organize our group as our leaders are a tad vertically challenged. He’s quite fun-loving as well and gives good ideas at opportune moments during the project sessions on Tuesday. He tends to be mixed up with Fazlina as both of them have the same syllable for their name and we tend to call them by first syllable. He spikes his hair every morning as he claims that he looks rather ghastly in the morning when his hair isn’t spiked. He wasn’t here for the briefing but he endeared himself to the team pretty quickly with his comments and his enthusiasm. He is the overall nice guy and has nice songs on his handphone (all Japanese).

Kay Kiat [RP] is one scary poly student. He’s like a closet gay – I didn’t know HOW gay he was until I saw the pictures that Keith sent me – which were pretty gay with little victory signs and cutesy faces. He didn’t say much at the beginning of the Seminar and kept to himself but by the end of the Seminar he was all ready to do forfeits and dares in the middle of the Exhibition Hall and start the group cheering for Amal. He’s actually very enthusiastic and really a very cool person once you get to know him. He is PRO at Flash and other stuff as he has to learn them for his module in Poly. His English name is also Luke, which is quite a surprise. Kay Kiat enjoys teasing other people (who doesn’t?) especially Kugan… which makes things even more disturbing but anyway, he is a regular sleeper during lectures and discussions and we usually make fun of him when he is sleeping. It’s hard to believe that he’s one of the oldest people around. There’s this really cool picture of four of the guys with their back to the camera and their poses are quite nice – rather like a boyband. Kay Kiat can act rather emo if he wants to but usually it is fake and for fun.

Yay, Evelyn [HCI]! My other dear with Yuh Yiing. This poor dear lost her voice quite quickly into the Seminar so half the time she was silent or had an incredibly sexy husky low voice. She’s the quiet sort and has this wonderful way of walking which makes her look like she’s striding but flowing at the same time – a result of being in Chinese Dance. It’s such a wonderful style of walking that I feel terribly inferior when I can only hobble up next to her. I love dancers – they’re wonderfully graceful – so much so that you can just cry watching them. She’s the terribly, terribly nice type of person and had to be supplied with copious amounts of water during the Seminar. Eventually she got back her voice but it was the sexy husky low type, which really made it all the more better. Both of us tease James to no end, as he’s terribly easy to tease. Here I can vouch that there’s nothing between them at all. It’s just James being gentlemanly. (See how easy it is to pin anything on him?) Anyway, she’s such a dear wonderful character that you would love to glomp (hug) as she’s kind and sweet and pretty. She’s quite affectionate at times and we walk round hand in hand around places where my heels do not get in the way – actually even where they do. She likes the Paper Eater and Eggbert as much as I do and she’s the fifth person to say that I am ‘very nice’. I still can’t figure out if her name is Eve-lyn or Efv-lin but apparently she doesn’t mind both. Evelyn looks very sweet when she’s sleeping and she’s amazingly attached to the group though she doesn’t show it. She is one of the few people who don’t tease Amal and she rarely plays games as they mostly require speech. I have this mad inclination to speak in whispers around her.

Now for James [VJC]. In a nutshell, he’s a younger version of Vincent Koh from ODAC. I mean Vincent even haunts me HERE at Pre-U Seminar. He talks like Vincent and even sounds like him. (Henrietta vouches this while James says that he is being displayed like a pet) He also coined the sentence: ‘Investors all over the world trust Singapore – because we work!’ Evelyn and I are trying to get him a site called www.thatsmycrap.com, where James just said that crap meant: Creative Resolutions (for) All Problems. Anyway, James is outgoing and forms very close bonds with people very quickly. He is terribly, terribly nice, letting himself get bullied by practically everyone (me mostly and Lijie his younger sister) who talks to him. I do not marginalize him. I merely insult him. He picks up things quickly, loves using pencils (thatpencilwriterperson but I like pencils better than pens too) and actually takes notes down during the lectures and discussions. James is very proud of his name and doesn’t actually know the meaning of the word ‘narcissist’ and hence deems it as uncivilized (any word he doesn’t like is deemed in such a manner). He prides himself on his civility and does not swear or curse as he is a staunch Christian (I need to learn that). He says grace before every meal (I need to learn that too) and is an exceptionally nice person – sort of reminding me of myself when I was younger. He’s a tad slow so when Faz and I insult him, there’s this pause before he actually replies but that doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking. James also prides himself on his emo side, as he says that he’s emo at night and requires the guitar to be emo. His emo theme song is ‘More Than Words’ and the most amusing thing is that he doesn’t know the words to the song, and the song is rarely finished, hence I get it stuck in my head. James picked up the hair-blowing habit from me rather quickly and even though any hair movement is rarely seen, he makes a competition out of it regularly. He is sort of addicted to the guitar and feels lost without it. He has a rather tender ego that is easily bruised – he never got over the fact that he was voice-overed in his school’s presentation as he was deemed ‘too boring’ and I have insulted him too many times to remember anything else. He is considered ‘cute, in a nerdy sort of way’ by Fazlina. He has the ‘F.U.N’ song by Spongebob Squarepants in his phone and has said that I am ‘very nice [1, ∞)’ in my autograph book so that no one can beat him.

That’s like everyone in my group! That’s really it! Hahah oh man we are a crazy bunch of people. I have summarized it mostly to this description of everyone. The Pre-U Seminar is a wonderful Seminar as we get to eat 6 meals a day (Breakfast, tea, lunch, tea, dinner, supper) and we get to sleep and have fun during the lectures and discussions. My toes have been permanently scarred and I will never feel the same way about court shoes again but! We all got water Wallies from PUB during 1 talk! Keith fondling (James’) water Wally will forever be engraved in my head and Kenny’s reverse osmosis method of getting his water Wally is priceless. Keith’s putting together of two water Wallies and calling it hydrogen bonding is priceless and wonderfully lame as well. I have learnt many things about Singapore and the world and also how terribly funny people can get when they are bored for at least 2 hours in an air-conditioned, comfortable seat that just is asking you to sleep in it. Mostly for me, the Pre-U Seminar has mostly been a slacky period, where we just sat around and listened to people talk. I have recorded down whatever they’ve said in my pretty notebook and foolscap paper that they have provided.

The Pre-U Seminar wouldn’t have been what it was without every single person in the group! I love everyone to bits and thank everyone for being there and not ponning the entire Pre-U Seminar unlike –someone- I know (not Yiting). We’ve had some stupid moments and many priceless and wonderful moments. Don’t let the SG8 Amal Fan Club die out!

I love you guys! Muaks! Incidently, Jialing has created a blog for SG8. It’s on my links somewhere.

Ah I was randomly surfing around looking for songs on rotation sites then I came across this blog which commented on anime. Well it wasn’t my first experience with this kind of blogs; they’re all over the place and stuff but then the blogger was commenting about Bleach, about episode 121. She didn’t give many spoilers, most of it was her opinion, I still have no idea what’s going on really, but then it sort of made me wish that I was still watching Bleach and could understand what she was commenting on.
She put up quite a bit of screencaps so I know that Hitsugaya’s on earth and Rukia is there too though she was supposed to have left in the first place but then I’m still kind of clueless over everything so whatever.
Huh. It almost made me want to watch Bleach again. At least catch up to where most people are now. I’m still not done with the Bount Arc. T-T
Most people are at the what, Arrancar, Vizard etc episodes.
That’s like what, twice as fast as me. Ah hahahaha.
I think I stopped at aroundish 60 plus. I remember going over to my cousin’s house in New Year, and he was like piahing Bleach episodes in his com. It was rather amusing to see him watch Bleach over and over again on crunchyroll.com.
But I guess there can be such a thing as Bleach Saturation. I think it got to me pretty early. Oh dear, oh dear. I better get attracted back to the very good animation and art again. Kubo Tite~! And the very good character developments and twisty storylines too. Oh dear, oh dear.
And Monday’s my Pre U Sem thing! Oh dear.

OMG I HAVEN’T SIGNED IN TO BLOGGER FOR SO LONG SUCH THAT I FORGOT MY ACCOUNT NAME AND EVERYTHING. LIKE ZOMG.

Ah listening to The Fray’s How to Save a Life which is a rather sad angsty song but very cool at the same time. I think Gohpeizhi would like it. Ah I realized that I’ve let my blog’s penguins like incubate too long and they’re like dying of global warming. I shall turn up the air-conditioning and wonder about the electricity bill and twiddle my thumbs.
I will feeling very random as today I didn’t do much and was very sleepy generally as two hours of chemistry tutorial can do wonky things to you – ah that was random – but still I’ll try to stay in tangent with what I want to say today:
Which is:
WHAT I WANT TO DO AFTER MY A LEVELS
It’s never too early to plan to play.
Firstly, I want to catch up with most of the anime I have been missing, including the j-dramas that everyone has introduced to me!

Then I want to do other random stuff as well:
Swim every other day.
Get my Kayaking 3-Star
Take a random class – Xinli says Japanese
Get a random job – maybe I’ll go back to AJ and terrorise the kids for GP
Watch movies. I deserve them.
DO UP ON MY FANFICTION. Don’t worry, mummy misses you!
Meet up with everyone and do random stuff
ODAC has an end-of-year project thing.
Movies to watch include:
PotC: At World’s End (I’m petitioning this movie as a birthday present or something. Anyone wants to sponsor me?)
Harry Potter and the OotP
And some other movies that I cannot remember their names.
Smee and I ought to begin doing the HM randomness!
