Darn just received my hp bill. 56 bucks. Sigh. Argh, this weekend will suck; got 10 essays to complete by this monday, as ee ling so kindly counted for me just now..sheesh. Let's see, 3 chinese essays, 1 lit essay, 1 beEg geog essay, 4 small geog ones..and ya and 1 gp essay. And let's see, think i can skive on one chinese essay and get away with it. So that makes it nine. Sigh... Did flag day just now, stood at the expo mrt for 2 hrs til my legs and back ached. And my cheek muscles too, didn't know plastic smiles could hurt so bad. And you know, the many methods ppl will take to avoid donating: take extra pains to walk at the extreme side of the pathway I was on, walk with a book and pretend to be so absorbed in it tt you don't know what or in this case, who's at your side asking you to donate, walk with their eyes fixedly on the floor, walk and pretend to be so absorbed in your conversation with your friend with your face turned completely away from mE, or simply just treat mE as an air molecue who just happened to be wearing blue and the size of a human being. Quite funny actually... Ah well. At least i didn't get a personal insult; ee ling got called 'skinny bamboo' by this FAaaT woman, muahhahahah, poor thing. Thinking of it now, I'm still laughing..hahah.. Anyway, I'm dead tired now, too tired to write, think later i'll just start typing out geog essay first. SO. Promos are in 5 weeks time; time to start studying, oops. Smarter ppl would have already started, but even now, I'm still struggling to finish all my work first! Urg. And ya, remember to treat all ppl asking you to donate as rEaL people with rEaL feelings. my feelings were bruised..

Sigh, damn tired now. I'm feeling so unhappy over so many stuff. Is it so necessary to get everything so perfect and drearily same? I try my best to put a plastic front, but sometimes it gets hard, and the irritation just lets out. Or maybe it's just me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm not such a compulsive perfertionist, just the kind that anything would do. Yesterday, took a cab to vj after school ended, and arrived just in time to see nic perform her duologue. Well done girlie, you did fine :) Such a marvelous portrayal that reminded me of gwyneth paltrow in Shakespeare in Love. Saw a few other pieces after that, thought they were pretty good too. Oh yeah, and saw my og mate who was from mj during the first three months too; stoopid guy, was just recently wondering where he had disappeared to, haha. After that, mole rat and i walked to the beach, and it was like rapidly getting darker and darker as we walked..haha. Plus all the mosquitoes, eww. But it was nice. Yep. Argh, no mood to write already. Nite.

Went to marine parade library just now to study. Feel so tired now, sigh. And I'm so proud to annouce what a true-blue s'porean I am. Arrived at mpl at 1255 (it opens at 1 every sunday) and there was this huge crowd already in front of me. So it was like, err, okayy.. So sneaky me moved discreetly forward every few seconds ever so slowly, ahah, till i was in the middle of the crowd. And when the doors opened, it was like practically a stampede; i had this vague impression of four or so librarians standing at the side politely greeting the ppl, but i don't think anyone bothered to even look at them, haha, including me. It was just a mad, mad rush all the way up the three floors to the study tables..and overtaking a few slowpokes along the way. Rushing like mad toads, all for the sake of getting a good table to study on, muhah. I was so so pissed at having to do all this embarrassing maddening thing all by myself to chope the seats; kinda unreasonable of me i know now, but still. Grr. So mole rat arrived a few minutes later, and it was like a minute cold war. Haha, i don't think the poor guy knew what that was all about. But in the end, it was still a fruitful three hours of studying i guess, except for the few, er, occassional distractions. Managed to make a mindmap of mkt failure for the econs test tomorrow. Oh, and it's stress! Tomorrow gotta study for geog test too, and there's rehearsal for Teacher's Day at 5; bet it won't end til like 7 plus, sigh. And wed too..grr. And there's the studying for promos to fit in too. So it'll be quite a gruelling week. Oh well.

Argh, you know what? What's the point of studying ao chinese if you know you're just gonna get C6 (and tt's if I'm lucky!) and a miserable point for uni admission? So sick. Might as well take syllabus B rite now.. The only good thing about ao chinese is the summary. Hehe. Irony of the ironies! I score best when i don't know what's the passage about. Went all the way to katong area just now to meet mole rat...and back home 20 minutes later. Err. A bit pointless, but oh well. Felt a bit bus-sick. Got lit test on fri, I really dunno how I'm gonna memorise lines from all of John Donne's poems; like how the heck. Urgh. Anyway, today was damn comical, after chinese, every single person dropped his/her stuff and just chionged to lt 4. You see, we heard that Mr Naresh was gonna zero in on the arts fac in particular today during econs lecture, and of course, no person in his right mind would want that to happen rite? The best seats to not get picked are the ones right in the middle, not at the last row, not the first two or three seats at the aisle..but right in the middle. So we were all jostling around outside the lt and making damn lot of noise while waiting, and then the chem teacher had to come out to shut us up. And then we rushed inside when the chem lect had finished..and had to shoo the chem ppl out of their seats in order to get the good ones. It was so damn kiasufied! Haha. And after all the excitement of getting the 'safe' seats...i fell asleep. Haah. Okay, gonna eat.

Just realised I haven't been blogging away for quite some time, heh. Had lit and chinese test today..lit was er, bad? I think my thesis statement had absolutely no relevance to what I was explaining later on. Sigh. That's why i love writing my essays on the computer, can always rewrite and rewrite what you want to say, and at a faster pace too. Oh well. I think I'm mole rat-deprieved; haven't seen him since sunday! Talking on the phone's not the same. And I don't think we can meet til like sat, so sad, got lit test on friday, gotta study. Poor thing, he's down with the flu (and whining away i might add!) Oh, and a note to myself: find a new sub-comm member! asap! I think I'm gonna die if I don't find one soon...sigh. Gotta do up amazing race proposal by end of this month; can you imagine, traipsing all over Singapore trying to find suitable locations and appropriate games. Maybe i should just focus the race on one area like the North or town area or something. Argh. Can't wait for saturday? It better not rain.

Wednesday, August 13, 2003 | Wednesday, August 13, 2003

Sigh..it had to rain today of all days! Like, seriously! So irritating! I hate the rain! It spoilt everything! Grr. Never did get to go to the beach anyway...wasted. So, guess it's the last outing huh, mole rat.

Monday, August 11, 2003 | Monday, August 11, 2003

Did I ever say that my lovely day was spoilt today? I take it all back, it was wonderful! Haha. After school today, rushed home to get my digital cam to take pics at my pw group's interview. After the interview it was so stupid, me, eunice, ana, mogi and jamie went to take pictures beside the fountain at the Gateway, and we even asked this ang moh lady to take for us! She must've been thinking, what a bunch of idiots; i should be the one asking them to take a pic for me. Anyway, we looked damn stupid, looked damn touristy, haha. Then it was off to meet mole rat, and we went to East Coast for a very short leetle while. Looked at the ships and hazy islands in the distance in the setting sun, and yeah, was quite a nice change from all the usual mundane places :) Blew ten bucks off for cab fare home, rushed through lit essay, and now here I am at 2330. Sigh. Okay, I'm dropping off, heck, haven't even studied for chinese test. Ahah. Ahh, maybe i'll take syllabus B in the end. Sigh. Nitey. eet was a beeyewtifool dayy..................

Sunday, August 10, 2003 | Sunday, August 10, 2003

Sigh. Supposed to do lit essay right now. But i think it's crap. I just can't seem to get the hang of twentieth century writing. Or maybe I'm just plain blockheaded. Somehow, although it's all written in simple english, just can't seem to grasp all the abstract ideas the language's supposed to represent. Oh well, better get started on it soon. Sigh. Have loads of homework to do: lit essay, pw editing, study for econs test tmr, study for chinese test tues etc etc etc. And according to my timetable, I'm supposed to finish my lit by 5, and it's already 1630. Well done! Bahh. Plus it's extra depressing, when you think you've got a lovely day planned out tomorrow, and suddenly it all has to change, all in just a poof, just like that. Sigh. It's so horrible! Okay, really really feel like screaming now, but i can't. Ahh, why don't you just go do your essay.

Saturday, August 09, 2003 | Saturday, August 09, 2003

It's a laaazyyy saturday afternoon...except that i can't feel lazy, and it's not an afternoon, ahah. It's still only..0840?! My gosh, I feel pathetic. Got the habit of waking up early already, woke up at 0550 today. !!! And of course, my nice family has gone to west coast to take a nice leetle romantic walk, leaving poor small me behind to rot at home. This is pathetic. It's National Day! Like, hello? Family time? Sighh. Even if I'd gone, can you imagine? My mum and my dad, my kor kor and Christine....and me. Trailing along behind them. Sheesh. This year my dad wasn't given tickets to the parade, so im not going later. Sigh. <--i think i still haven't gotten over the excitement i always get receiving the damn goodie bag, haha. And this year's bag looks so nice! Ok, im being a loser here. Oh yes, yesterday, I've sworn to get two things: first, to get a new swimming costume BEFORE i get into the pool the next time round! Omg omg omg, i still feel so tramatised thinking about thurs.....arghs. X-rated. And second, to..er...okay. I forgot. Nvm, ahah. Must be the trauma still. :) OH yar! yeah, and to get my peranakan outfit by next year! It's high time i get my own ethnic costume! Ehh, nonyas are exotic okay, we must be proud of our heritage. Hehe. Yesterday, almost all the people went in ethnic costumes, made me almost regret not borrowing one. Yaya, but i'd most probably have tripped over it or sth, and make an even bigger fool of myself than on thurs, eeee! After that, i went out with Nic, we met at Orchard mrt and window-shopped non-stop til about 1730, like, whoa. I was super dead by then, and i think i caught flu from hanging around Far East! We were just sitting around and my nose just started leaking. Hasn't stopped, bahh. Im officially flu-ated. sniff. Had lots of fun..took pics (where all my erm, blemishes cannot be seen, yippee), bought my op bag (nice dreary grey counter-balanced with hot pink lining, muahah), went Kinokuniya, which this moron of a Nic didn't even know where it was, and bought stationary..oogled at the wonderful inventions of the file the japs have come up with.. Okok, i sound incoherent. The basic thing is, i had fun..haha. After that, mole rat called, and we went esplanade library to do bible study. Very short one. Passed by Max Brenner Chocolate Bar on the way out...sigh. I want my Suckao! And don't worry, ignoramuses, it's not anything dirty. Yeesh. Anyway, i think the area around esplanade is da place. Esp at night, cuz you see all the couples walking around, super romantic place. So anyway, stood on the mrt and bus all the way back home, was so tired by then, nose all leaky and legs aching that i was in bed by 10. Sigh. So yep, that was yesterday. Pretty longwinded, heh. Oh yar, later gotta be in church by 2 for worship practice, wonder how im gonna bend over the keyboard with my leaky nose. Oh well, worse come to worse, i'll just stuff the tissue up my nose and play. Or simply not come; mole rat can replace me, haha.

Wednesday, August 06, 2003 | Wednesday, August 06, 2003

Skipped crappy workshop just now to go home star-dee...can you imagine, listening (or rather, falling asleep listening) to some crap workshop when i could be at home doing my increasingly piling up work! Oh man..just realised i still have so much to yet complete. Let's see, there's the lit essay, chinese words to learn for remedial tomorrow, completing the geog tutorial..and yep, that's what i hafta do for tomorrow. Sigh. May not sound like much, but they aren't exactly my favourite subjects. Waitaminit, i don't have any favourite subjects. Ahah. And some people just said that im slow!! Like, okay, fine! The mental part i know larh..but hey, not my fault rite? Hehe, all the brains went to my bro and sis. Nolar, i think they meant more in terms of me being too laidback, no sense of urgency and stuff. Quite true quite true. Good point to take note of. Anyway, tomorrow's gonna be a long long day...what with econs consultation and chinese remedial right after school...sigh. Oh, and not forgetting the bbq!! Hope it doesn't rain. Mr Chen's gonna bring his girlfriend, who, according to pris, kev, and jk, is very chio. And Mr Chua's gonna bring his family, with his super cute baby girl! Im not that crazy about small kids right now, but the fact that i find her cute says alot, ahah. And friday, gonna go out with nic, havent seen her for goodness knows how long! Can finally buy my op bag..hehehe. And after that..go out for a miserable hour with mole rat. Sigh. One. Miserable. Hour. Oh well, at least an hour! *smile*

Monday, August 04, 2003 | Monday, August 04, 2003

I think my hair sucks now, shouldn't have layered so much the other time..sigh. Now it looks like one shapeless blob, as mole rat said the other day. So anyway. Listening to fields of gold now, i think i'm obssessed with it ever since Dr Saradetch played it over lit lecture last friday..sigh. There's that wistful feeling whenever i hear it. Sorta like Collin Raye's Love, Me. Oh well. Supposed to edit the pw group's stoopid stoopid written report now, but realised that i can't find the stoopid dunno-wad-you-call-it to put the hard disk in since the disk can't be put into the laptop straight. Bahh. Today was generally okay, school was quite fun, except that i dozed off during econs lecture last period, ahah. Much, much better than moping around last monday anyway. Can't wait for friday, it's a half day rite? I so, so, so want to meet mole rat, but i can't til then. Sighh. ...it's unhealthy!! And in the meantime, it's just 5 min daily. What can one possibly talk about in 5 min? Miserable. Friday...friday. *maniacal look. Oh, and thursday's my class bbq too! Hehe, the first official class gathering.. I so want to prepare the chicken wings, cuz i love them with lots of honey; oei can't you two have a little more confidence in my cooking?! Not enough time to do the wingies anyway, thursday..oh well. Will just leave the food preparation to eunice's mum. Her mum's damn super; prepared the wedding dinner for 1ooo people before, single-handedly somemore. Okay, gotta go eat dinner. All the food talk's making me hungry, haha. Heehee, and tmr ee ling's bringing along cheesecake she's gonna bake today...muahahahha...make way!!

Gawd...have practice session in church tomorrow..only hymns!! Ahhh...i want to play songs, not just hymns! Not fair not fair.. Anyway, from now on, i'll have loads of free time, well not much anyway, but enough compared to previously, so should make full use of it to study for exams. And to wind up, let's quote Mr Chen: ppl, it's not safe to blog in public.. Oh yeah man. I so agree, haha. Ah yes, skipped chinese and gp just now (yay) to go dentist cuz my retainers conveniently fell off. Muahah, i love my retainers.
