Last Kiss - Pearl JAM! |

I must say I'm still having lots of fun with my class. VJ's been great to us. I'm sure Sammie will agree! Haha what with short skirts and teachers to laugh at, students to laugh at, students to laugh WITH, teachers to laugh WITH, seaweed chicken (and my leftovers). WHo could ask for more?!
But going back to SA for Life Concert made me realise I really don't wanna lose contact with my friends there and also with all my friends from SAC. Of course the latter being of highest priority! Lokeloke's birthday today, hope it turned out well! Dan's tomorrow hope it'll be good for you guys too. I don't think I'll ever get the same kind of laughter and jokes and stupid violent fights and bitching and that really happy feeling anywhere but with you guys!
Other than this, life's been pretty mundane. Minus all the above and it's just go to classes, try to catch up, come home try to do tutorials. Trying to keep awake is the most difficult part of it all.

My maid's gone back to Indonesia to get married. She's not coming back. I am the family washerwoman. What do you call those Indian men that used to wash people's clothes in the olden days? Did people hire them because they had crisp, white turbans? When my grandma describes them I always envision them washing white cloth by the river and hanging them up to dry on nylon string. And they'd be flapping in the wind above red, clayey soil. BUT. Where in Singapore can you find such a place?? And I'm sure in my grandma's time there was running water already... Oh and not all clothes are pieces of white cloth. Imagination is just weird this way.
ANYWAY. SO I am the washerwoman. For two days now, I've been hauling the laundry basket down to the basement and hanging up the clothes, and scooping soap powder. I'm always terrified I'd breathe in some powder. Then it'd go into your lungs and you'll get weird pneumonia. But washing clothes is kinda fun, like you get to hang them and see them turn from wet to dry. Quite therapeutic. I'm trying to find some good points here...
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW MAID TO ARRIVE.

Victoria is not bad. I'm a Victorian. Haha. I like my class.
Classes have started. I learnt more in my first Physics lecture here than all the Physics lectures in SA put together. Don't think it has much to do with the lecturer, I think it's more of the environment. It's really affecting me mentally. Like, I feel that everyone here is so smart, I gotta go the extra mile to keep up. So I pay more attention, take down more notes, use my brain more. It's good. Pressure is good!
Nothing much else to say. I like my class!!!

It's the last week of the 'first three months' and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest. This means crashing - like what I did today, skipping lectures and having fun!!
So in this spirit, Danielle, Sam, Car and I crashed MJ today. The day was filled with excitement. I never knew crashing a school could be so thrilling. The day started out like any other day. We followed the Meridians (that's what they call themselves) from the MRT station the their school. There, we met Eunice, who was late. She seems so popular there! So many friends.. Okay we shall skip the assembly and some other parts and go right to the exciting part!
Eunice, being Eunice, had to go for her Chem test. So she got her friend called May or Mae or something (see told you she was popular can get people to do these things) to show us around and entertain us. We had breakfast in the canteen, then went to check out the library. There's this cool room with chairs devoted to watching DVDs. It's very exclusive you have to book it like an hour before. This would be the place where all the excitement takes place later on. SO anyway, we went there to find that the room was taken. Danielle, being Danielle, stood at the glass window and started to read out the subtitles on the TV screen. Suddenly, pout of nowhere, this short indian man, probably a teacher approached us and waved his arms. He was quite fierce. He was like, "You, you, you, you and you" pointing to us, "GET OUT NOW!"
So scary right! Imagine you are a crasher and you get this kind of thing.. We weren't even making that much noise! This is not all, still got MORE. After this we went for Eunice's GP tuttorial then went back to the library. We managed to sneak pass the indian man. His name is Mr Nathan. Played a bit of this game called tontie and another called hatch. And Eunice helped us book the exclusive DVD viewing room for later.
( THE EXCITING PART STARTS )
After MJ, we went to Car's to change and met Agnes along the way. Changed and went to Downtown East to play pool and go to the arcade. PLayed this four player shooting game. The gun was damn HEAVY. We play until out arms hurt!
Yeah, this is all for my exciting day! THIS IS SO LONG I JUST REALISED!

Life so far has been okay. I thought it'd be more relaxed, but it actually isn't. I guess maybe the Os didn't bring much stress after all.
School's good. My CG's got some really nice people that I'll be damn sad to leave after this term. That is, IF I can leave. Haha. Not to mention the rest of them, people from my OG. They'll all be missed. Somehow, I can't bear to leave SA, but I'm also looking forward to the future. Change is always interesting.
Today Car came to crash! WhattaSURPRISE! Haha I totally didn't know about it until that morning when Yihui told me. Her crashing went pretty smoothly except when she was caught for dyed hair. Then she had to make up some cock and bull story. It was damn scary! My heart was beating super fast, almost had a heart attack man. Luckily we're smooth operators.
Hmm what else? After school, went to PP for lunch then stright home. Plonked myself in bed and woke up in time for dinner. I was damn tired! I guess the late nights during the short break and stuff killed me. KO.
Okay, now time to KO somemore. HAHAHA. BYEEEE.

Yesterday was fun. School was great, I'm really starting to make friends with the people in my CG.
After school, went to meet JM and we went to Suntec. I never knew there was a Ben and Jerry's there! Anyway the ice cream was great. Yummy yum yum. There were the usual great flavours, Cherry Garcia, Choc Fudge Brownie. I can even feel myself drooling just thinking about it! I think because of this, Suntec will become my favourite hangout! Plus there's a direct bus from SAJC! HEEHEEHEE.
OH and I saw Irisucker there! What a blessing eh. It was like seeing a long lost relative. HAHA. I guess it's weird to switch from seeing you guys on a daily basis to not at all.
Ohter than that, I miss you guys so much! Sorry I couldn't go shopping today. I can't wait till we all meet up again!

Letters to You - Finch |

This year lacks the resolutions, look-backs of 2005. Although it would have actualy been very fitting seeing since I'm attending a completely new school, making completely new friends - a clean slate overall.
Anyway, a little update. JC life has been fun so far, the subjects sound scary though. We'll have to wait and see to find out. Hmm, I guess I'm happy being in SAJC. It's really welcoming. Sort of similar to SAC in some ways, different in others. I do miss SAC though. Amidst all the fun and hype, it's different without people like Iris, Car, Eunice, Sam, and the list goes on and on. All the jokes laugter. It's even different without people like... well the jokers that everybody seems to dislike and make fun of.
Next week, lectures start. It's a super laid back timetable, with like an average of two lectures a day. It's also very informal, so anyone who wants to crash is welcomed!

Hello Sunshine - Super Furry Animals |

I wanted to write yesterday, but I ended up too tired. Making up for it now.
Saw a couple of funny things yesterday, but I can only remember one, because it was so utterly funny. Anyway at about 5.30pm I made my way to the station. I was gonna take the west bound train to Orchard. It was a fairly new train and I remember distincly that I was listening to Thank You for the Venom by My Chemical Romance and it made me very happy. Was thinking it wasn't a bad song. ANYWAY. That isn't the point. I got onto the platform just as the train was pulling up.
Great luck right? So I rushed into the carriage right in front of the escalator. In the train I noticed these two girls were just staring at me. They were so creepy. Maybe they were admiring me or something. Then suddenly they started laughing. You know how it is, when people hear other people laughing they automatically think it's some joke about them. So I looked in their direction, stared the fatter one down. Was having much fun when I realised they weren't talking about me because there really was nothing funny about what I was doing at all. ANYWAY that still isn't the point. After that, I shifted my gaze. And it randomly fell on this old Chinese man. Not really old, middle-aged I guess. Shades of grey in his hair, moustache. He was wearing some sort of jacket and a shirt inside. He probably thought he was very charming and sexy because he had his shirt half unbuttoned. But I think that was a big mistake on his part, because he had REALLY LONG CHEST HAIR. They were thick and white and sort of whispy, swaying to the rhythm of the train. HAHAHA. You know how Italians and other normal men have curly chest hair which is usually okay? Well, this unfortunate old fellow had STRAIGHT, THICK ones, sticking right out of his chest, sort of like a vertical field of wheat if you know what I mean.
It was SUCH a funny sight. I couldn't resist laughing.
Anyway after that the train reached Kallang and I started thinking about the dead man and how the train tracks would be covered with bloodstains. I wonder if they cleaned it?
Went to meet Iris, Eunice, Car, Sam and Lulu at Ajisen. They were having their dinner. Chatted, then met my Mum for the Zara Sale. It's really messy and GUESS WHAT. I didn't get a thing! What a waste of time. At least I had a nice dinner =)

Writing about the Thailand holiday would seem mundane. No, would be mundane. Everyday was shopping and watching my brother swim his races. But it was fun. I like Bangkok. Even though it isn't as clean as Singapore or nice smelling (the smell of exhaust is always in the air), it was pleasant.
Oh, and the shopping there is good. You can get good looking t-shirts for like 180 baht which is about $8 and I got Levi's for $43 at a factory outlet. The sizing was a little weird though. I had to get a 26 instead of a 25 and my sister upgraded to a 25 from a 24. We'd all thought we'd grown fatter, but it was the 26 was actually smaller than my size 25 593s.
I also thought I'd try to get some sneakers there but I didn't succeed. I'm lousy at buying shoes, I can never find the right kind. You know when you really buy something you see it and you just 'know' it's something for you. It's hard to find that feeling with shoes. Although today out with JM I saw two pairs I sort of liked. A Le Coq one and an Adidas one. I think I'm gonna go for Adidas though. Cheap and good.
This is a shoutout to you all. I'm back so can we please go kayaking? Iris, Car, whoever. I ate so much in Thailand, eager for some exercise!!!
OH AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PAE RESULTS TO BE OUT!! In case all of you have been too busy partying, they come out on the 16th and 10am!

Bottle Marked: Caution - Tokyo Rose |

I'm using the lj portal. For some reason I get atotal kick out of it. It's like Friendster, Blogger and lj rolled into one! :D
The last four days have been bad/great/fun/boring. I was at the Sec Three Leadership Camp helping out. I know, I know, the adjectives are contradictory. When I started this entry, I felt like writing:
Day One: Sucks.
Day Two: Boring.
Day Three: Burnt, peeling skin.
Day Four: Concluded the camp REALLY SUCKED.
But you know what, that's really not true. Sure, the old girls treated us like scum, looked down on us, criticised us unreasonably, but once I let it all go, once I learned to ignore them, disregard their views, their opinions, it was actually quite fun! They might have thought we were disrespectful, irresponsible, bad leaders, all that jazz, but why should we care? Looking at them, I don't see how they are any better. They might have the upperhand because they are older and people tend to be more wary of older people, but other than that, I don't think they are that great.
Maybe other people might have treated the situation differently. Perhaps others might have humoured them, went with the flow, maybe even conformed to their attitude. But honestly, I don't see the point at all. What's so wrong about showing others your displeasure? To me it isn't rude. In fact, if everyone did that the world would be a much simpler place.
Anyway I am digressing terribly. Back to talking about the camp. Apart from the old girls, once I learned to ignore their feelings and focused more on what the camp was actually about - the sec threes, it was much more enjoyable. I realised that my schoolmates, even though they were a year younger and I never had much interaction, much less bothered about them, were a really fun bunch! The group I was assigned to was crazyyyyy. This was the first time I enjoyed the company of everyone in the group, unlike camp corri with the sec twos. I saw some really good leaders and despite what the old girls have said, I think, in their own way, this bunch of students have what it takes.
Camp was also about joking with the others. Singing in the showers, playing Hearts, gossipping, pigging out on coke and ice cream, bathing late at night. I think without them I would have died. Especially Car and Iris. Thanks so much for going even though you didn't have to you guys!! Love youuu.
After camp, Iris, Nae, Gladys and I, along with some sec threes went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Very full, very delicious. Talking about food, I suddenly feel like eating some Polar curry puffs. The light pastry, the spicy, aromatic filling (the best part: NO EGG). Yummmmmm.
Oh and I would like to say a big big thank you to my PC Council for the farewell. I have different thoughts on Mrs Koh now. I mean, she might have a LOT to say at meetings and her personality might be a bit... um, different from mine, but she's a nice person overall. I guess I might have misjudged her somewhat during the time I worked with her. Or maybe it's because I'm not under her anymore. Oh well.
OKAY let me finally end off. I planned to put stuf under a lj cut but I'm not sure where to cut. Hah. Okay okay ending off with a HAPPY TEN MONTHS TO JM. I can't believe it. Ten months with that joker/gay boy/whiny fellow and I AM STILL ALIVE. Haha just kidding POK. You know you love me.
Alright, byebye everyone. My plane leaves tomorrow for Thailand. I hope the thais don't think I have some weird skin desease (I have terrible peeling sunburn now) and not let me buy stuff at their shops, because I'm banking on lots of SHOPPING!!!!! I even brought less clothes so my shopping can have space. Let's hope my plane doesn't crash. See you all in five days. BYE!

So the ole Os are over and done with. They have been for the last four days already and so many finallys have taken place :) It's been great relaxing and suddenly thinking I've got work to do, but realising I don't on second thought.
These four days - I've been doing things I never thought I'd be doing again aka all the FINALLYS. Hanging out with friends, having them stay over, going out with JM, decorating the christmas tree at grandma's, having lunch with the family. It's all coming back man! Hurray for the end of secondary school.
Well speaking of the sleepover, here's an embarrassing photo. Lulu don't kill me! It's self-explanatory:
One thing I've accquired is an iPod Shuffle. My aunt gave it to me like, on the spur of the moment. I guess it's great because my own computer is spoilt, my sister's iBook doesn't read my Zen Micro and so I can finally listen to music on the go (sounds cheesy?). If only it was an iPod video eh? :D But it's seriously damn light and I'm so afraid to break it! That's the thing about apple products. The interface, the casing, everything looks so damn fragile - even the adapters! That's all part of the beauty of it I guess.
Today the rest finish their exams, so it's off to Sentosa tomorrow! Oh joy. One more finally, a nice tan!!!

This entry is to get that stupid retarded photo below out of the limelight. I would remove it but it's just too funny.
Anywayyyy. So far it's been school school school and lots of homework homework homework. Tiring. Much talk about where to go for first three months as well. Open houses. Tuition. Study Dates. Hectic eh? But I feel I'm not putting in enough effort. OK. Work harder.
Tomorrow is the officially last day of school. Last day of my secondary school life. Can't say I'm pleased, but not too sad either. It's just... normal. People move on all the time. I guess I'm not one for keeping in touch or holding on. I find it tiresome. Although there are some things about SAC I'd hate to lose. The wonderful people, nice teachers ( and making fun of the not-so-nice ones), being the earliest one in school and walking through total darkness, sleeping in the festival court. I won't miss the cannteen food and the vendors though. Definitely not.
Anyway I finially severe all ties with SAC, to use the expression incorrectly. What I mean to say is that I'm not in SAC, don't have family members there, that sort of thing.

( Proudly Presenting Grad Night 05 )
I know I am so slow, Graduation is so over already. But I didn't really feel like writing and entry or could be bothered to wait for the lag-like-hell uploading. Anyway we took lots of photos, still waiting for people to send them to me. Yihui! Jillian! Danielle! Whoever!
Of late, it's just been school school school, recieving exam scripts - disappointment, joy, the usual. We begged Mrs Boo to show us our L1R5 today. I got 10! Quite satisfied I guess. Couldn't have expected better, but I wish I'd went the extra mile, studied a little harder, stayed a little calmer. Oh well, what's done is done. I just hope I can get into VJ for PAE and stay there for JAE.
Oh and I sincerely, truly hope that all the others ( Including you, JM.) will be there with me! I won't want to face all the smart muggers with twice as much brain as me alone! *cross fingers*

I've just finished the Adrian Mole's sixth diary. It amazes me how he's so honest, he's reallly a guy that tells it as it is. If he was a real person and started a blog, I bet he'd be loads more popular than xiaxue or Mr Brown or whoever's hot now. I can't believe that from 13 to 35 he still thinks he's might be the most intelligent person in Leicester. And he's still in love with Pandora and still writes stupid letters to famous people. It's good to know some 'people' never change. I wonder if anyone could be as honest as him on the internet knowwing that anyone could be reading your shit...
I've basically spent the whole day reading Adrian Mole, doing Physics an trying to fall asleep. I have a headache, had better do more Physics by tonight, considering I more or less screwed up the Physics Practical. I think I'm getting Prelim jitters. Yesterday I dreamt that I couldn't do a single question in the Chem Paper. I've sort of been neglecting Chem and Geography.
Yep, have fun wih the hols, bye.

Cinderella Story - Plain White T's |

I miss the old days, when studying was the last thing on our minds. Even though the 'old days' are only about four months ago, it seems like years and years.
I've confirmed my Grad Night dress. It's gonna be tailored and it's costing my mum 220 buckaroos. I feel guilty making her spend all that money on something I'm only going to wear once to a function that isn't even that important and most probably boring. But she didn't seem to mind. So I guess I shouldn't too and look forward to my fitting on the 10th! Now I just need to find the accessories to go with it. Shouldn't be too bothersome.
I may not have time to update anymore before the prelims. I need to do well.

Finally a chance to blog!
Today we went to visit little Sammie at KK Hospital. She's in the children's ward with all the cute little baby boys and girls! I hope she gets well soon! She's missing out on all the torture in school and that's such a pity. She looked really silly too, with her nerd specs and cartoon-y hospital pyjamas.
So after that I rushed down to Novena to meet JM. Accompanied him to town. He pierced another hole in his ear! After he did it he couldn't stop saying "I feel damn punk, I feel damn punk" Until I told him it's nothing much. Had to rush home after that because we were going out for dinner to celebrate my aunt's mother's birthday. Something like that lah.
Heehee. Jing Ming, please don't experiment with boys at your sleepover. And do you know what guys do when they sleep over? PLAY DOTA. What a complete waste of time and energy and electricity and everything.
You know, I wonder why I can't write long entries anymore. I guess it's just too tiring and I'm a lazy girl. Also if I did I'd probably end up doing bitchy things like gossipping about people or revealing secrets or something.
HAI TOMORROW I HAVE GOT TO START MY REVISION AGAIN. AND THERE IS TUITION.

The sleepover is long over and it's old news now. The teachers are still busy loading up on homework and tests and lectures. Time's the only thing that can save us now, if you think about it. I just wish it wouldn't be so slow about it, so we can get the pain in the ass Os over and done with sooner and get to the partying and holidaying faster!
Last night I was trying to massage Scruffy according to "How to Massage Your Dog". It didn't work though, he kept trying to get me to scratch his armpits and then trying to chew on my hand. Definitely didn't achieve that sick look on the face of the dog in the book. Didn't get him to smile either.
