Reflections

Myself: Argh. I'm getting bloody irritating recently, I realised... I have no idea what's wrong... but I haven't just been _acting_ weirdly... I reflected, and found that my morals have been well... I don't really have a word for it. Just that, I compare myself now to who I was a year or two ago, and I'm greatly alarmed at the difference.

Most, of not all, of my good _old_ friends would know that I'm a true blue Gryffindor. And I know Slytherin too. And she would give me all the 'OMG, you're truly Gryffindor...' comments and she would say it as if it were a bad thing. Okay, those good friends will know exactly who I'm talking about, but the point is, I realise that I've become more, well, aloof. And I'm losing those 'Gryffindor' traits. I'm starting to get more self-centered and I hate it. Recently I tend to talk more about myself, and it's pissing. Really really REALLY pissing.

It's true you know -- how easy it is to listen to the 'devil', or rather, the bad side of you... It takes more effort to be good once you step into the 'bad' side... What I used to do without thinking, I hesitate too much to do now. And in the end, I just don't do it. Like... I can't think of an example now... but I know the change is there. My manners have worsened, and I can't even talk too politely now... The last only came about after entering JC, and seriously, I'm quite apalled by it. I know how it happened-- it happened in an extremely futile attempt to be less 'shy' when meeting new people. Now that I've succeeded, I feel like I've lost a lot more... and that... isn't good.

Harry Potter, and SNARRY!!: Okay, my old friends will know what I'm talking about, again. Heheh... Yes, yes, I've fallen again. Probably just as badly as before... I was watching the Harry Potter movies at home, and like OMG, I fell. If memory serves me right, I belive I gushed somewhere halfway through the show... particularly at the Snarry bits. Of course, the DracoHarry bits made me go crazy too... but *cough* that's not the point. ^^;; I doubt my new friends will understand half of this, but, ah well. Their opinion of me might change if they _do_ realise what I'm talking about... ^^;; Anyway, don't mind me if I start gushing about Snarry the next time I talk to you, whoever you are.

Work: Okay, so I just sent the email to Popular asking for a job... and I do hope it turns out well... The email didn't turn out exactly like I wanted it... (Like I said, I don't know where my politeness and manners went to. Probably on holiday or something...) But I do hope it didn't give too bad an impression. The standard of that email compared to the one I sent during the December holidays to a restaurant (which didn't succeed may I add) was miles apart, and not in the good way. Ah well. I guess all I can do now is wait.

Mannerism: Okay, I pissed my mum off, and my dad too, in the course of the last few hours. Argh. I don't know how my brother can control himself so well... I just can't do it. I screamed at my dad, and then argued with my mum. Not a good way to spend the evening. And after I screamed at my dad, he wanted to go back to his laptop, but I was sitting in the chair somewhere along the way to his destination. He blocked my only exit and said 'move'. I stared at him, and he repeated "move, I want to go through". How the freak do you expect me to move?? I wasn't exactly in a good mood so I stared at his feet pointedly and went "You move back. I can't make way with you blocking me!" And obviously, he complied. Bet you he wasn't happy. But thankfully everyone in my family is forgiving. Not long after I calmed down, everyone was happy again. ^-^

Follow the leader?: "Why are you following me?" "I am not." "Yes, you are." "What makes you think so?" A stare. "You are."

Yes, I know. I am. So I deny it, but hey, I never realised until you actually pointed it out to me. Sure, that incident had been in a literal sense. But I went home to think about it. Am I following you blindly? Am I? I don't know. It's been second nature, I guess. A role model, in a way. But when I think about it, I'm following him because I want to be able to do what he does, right? Because I want to learn. NOT because he's doing it. We just happen to have similar interests. Like how I developed an interest in Japanese, and then realised that he learnt it before too.

I guess it's in the blood. " There are so many seats in front, why must you stand behind me? I'm happy standing here." So I go and sit instead. I wasn't exactly doing it because he said it. It was because he pointed it out. I could have just stood there anyway, but that would have been stupid. I mean, there were seats right in front of the TV, why should I _not_ sit and stand at the back like a fool? Really, the silliness of it.

The similarities are uncanny, but I just can't help but notice some differences too. His will, I suppose, is so much stronger than mine. So is his mind. Me? I'm so easily influenced that even _I_ am getting furious abou it. Since young, my mum said that I was smarter than he was. I didn't believe that though. He has the potential, and is hardworking. Me? I'm neither. Potential? Perhaps I do have it, somewhere deep, hidden. Just waiting to be uncovered. I like to think it that way.

Argh. I think I've revealed too much. My mind just wandered I suppose... I know I'll get teased by Amanda for rambling again, but I guess that's just how I do stuff. ^^;; Ah well.

Apologies to all: Sorry for the extremely long-winded entry. I haven't updated in ages, and I kinda got carried away... ^^;;;

I dunno wat 'm doing...

The clock's ticking....
Two more days...
38 hours, 3 mins.
My head's spinning,
Everything's a blur...
What am I still doing here?
Wasting my time in front of the computer?
I should be writing
Writing the letters I promised
But my mind isn't working,
I can't think...
I need more time,
More time with my new friends
With my school...
I promised I'd work hard
I really thought I could...
But save for computing,
I haven't kept to my word...
I need more time...
Much more...
But... ... ...
.

The clock keeps ticking...

^^ Another success!!

OG bbq: Yesterday was my OG bbq, and it was really fun!! ^-^ Went to the dentist in the morning, ate lunch with my mum, and then rushed down to Pasir Ris. It was super early when I got there-- I still had half an hour. To my surprise, not long after I reached there, Darryl and Bei Jia arrived. We decided to go walk around White Sands since it was still super early, and lobstered along the way.

Shopping: After everyone came, we started our shopping. I think I ended up screaming and scolding some people cause they refused to listen (or was my voice too soft?) before we actually settled anything. Anyway, we finally finished our shopping and headed down to Pasir Ris park. I took out my camera and started taking photos of our fellow OG26 members, and many started dodging away from my camera. =^^= When we reached Pasir Ris park, we spent quite some time playing at the beach and at the playground before we actually started the fire.

Lost hp: Unfortunately though, Jeff lost his handphone while we were playing at the spider web. I kept dialing his handphone number in hope that someone would pick it up but no one did. When we were climbing the spider web, there was only a malay boy behind Jeff and he disappeared not soon after Jeff lost his handphone. The fact that there was no one else was there meant that he was the only one who could have taken it right? Stupid kid. Don't they go to school?? Haven't their teachers, or their parents for that matter, taught them NOT TO STEAL???!!! Stupid idiotic blasted kids. I can't believe it. He's so darn freaking young and is already stealing. And it was Jeff's new phone too. Damn them.

Fun stuff: Okay, enough cursing. Away from that, our OG started the fire not long after we returned to the pit. Jeff had to leave and most of the rest of the OG left to go play, leaving Raymund, Rachel and I to do the cooking (coincedentally the same few from our OG who helped with the Pegasus figure). By night I was slacking and leaving the cooking to some of the other people. I lied down on the mat on the grass and looked at the stars, and like whoa, it was so cool!! Dean was talking about some stuff about the stars and I learnt that the three stars in a row shows where the north and south are. Thing is, Dean doesn't know how to tell which end is North and which end is South. Which was amusing. He spent some time racking his brain but in the end he only knew where was north because we were next to the beach which was facing the east. ^^;;; I didn't get to cycle though... And I was looking forward to it. =(

Games and apologies: Lots of stuff happened during the bbq, and we played games like zhong ji mi ma. Jing Lun came late, and I ended up screaming at him over the phone cause the OG was too noisy. Nobody seemed to listen when I asked someone to accompany me to look for Jing Lun, which got me slightly irritated. Sorry Jing Lun!! He thought I was angry with him, I think.... ^^;;; Also want to apologise to Bei Jia for getting so irritated with her... Looks like I'm not the only one with a goldfish memory... She kept asking me the same question over and over again. ^^;;;

Anyway, the bbq was extremely fun, and a success~ ^^ Not all who said will go turned up though, but I guess this is the best we could get-- ^^ It was really fun!!! ^-^ Love you all, OG26!!

Special thanks: Thanks to all those who came for the bbq and especially those who came early to help with the shopping-- Darryl, Bei Jia, Dean, Raymund, Han song, Rachel and Jeff. And also Uncle and Shuxian for helping us bring stuff like the chicken and satay. ^-^ You guys made the bbq a great success!! *whistles* =^^=

Sick: I could feel myself falling sick on the morning of the bbq, but I didn't want to skip it, so I found myself feeling horrible yesterday morning when I woke up. Spent the entire yesterday sleeping, and only went to see the doctor at about 8+ in the evening. The doctor was quite blur... I went in half-asleep, and when my mum asked whether I had a fever, I said 'I don't know'. The doctor looked at me, squeezed my hand and said "I don't think she has a fever'. But on the safe side, he took out the thermometer and took my temperature anyway. "Oh, she has a slight fever-- 38 degrees" he said, which got me quite bewildered. I looked at the thermometer and saw '38.0', and I wondered-- That wasn't considered slight, was it? But I was feeling grubby and sick so I just let it go. I collected my medicine and left the clinic feeling very blur. Still coughing and having a runny nose and everything... but oh well.

Hear something different?: Yep, I changed my background song!! ^-^ It's from Howl's moving castle (AKA Howl no ugoku shiro). Thought it was about time I changed the song, so I settled on this one. Especially with my recent photoshoot and all... ^^

Another haphazard entry... Too lazy to type a proper one...

DAI SEIKOU!! ^-^

Howl no ugoku shiro photoshoot: DAI SEIKOU!! =^^= Today we had the photoshoot for the small Howl's moving castle group... and it was a success~ Really nice photos, and really funny ones, and a few retarded ones too. ^^ I looked like a baby Howl in some of the pictures though, because of my somewhat chubby face-- But other than that, the pictures were great~ At least in my opinion. ^^ YeaH!!

CT outing: Kore mo DAI SEIKOU!! ^^ My class finally went for a class outing!! ^-^ We ate lunch, played pool, played arcade... ^^ Pretty fun!! Meiling and Pei Yu will know that someone pissed me off during the outing... but it was great seeing everyone enjoy themselves~ ^^ My CT people aint that bad... pretty nice in fact... Still love my OG just as much, or more, though... ^-^ Meiling and William came over to my house after the outing for a while... we played the dancing mat thing, throwing darts thing, and played with the PS2. ^^ All in all it was pretty fun. Only downside to the day was my aching back.

Whee!!! OG BBQ!!!

OG BBQ: ^-^ My mum just helped to book the BBQ pit, and it sounds like a very good spot~ ^-^ I can't wait to go... I just hope and pray like crazy that it doesn't rain... Else I have to go kick something... Yep yep. I was busy calling everyone the last 2 days, and just now, I called Camille. She took so long to pick up the phone that when she did I forgot who I was looking for. I stared at the list and asked for 'xue jing', then I suddenly remembered that I already called her house... I started saying 'shit' and looking at the list all over again before I remembered that I called Camille. I think she thought I was crazy or something... ^^;;;; Sadly, she can't go... most of the rest of the OG can though, which is good. ^^

I ponned: Today computing was cancelled, and I had a 3h break before GP. After considering for quite some time, I decided to pon GP and come home first. I had an agenda on what to do once I reached home, but I forgot 1 most important thing the moment I started on the agenda. I settled the BBQ pit thing, played my PS, showered, and then realised that I forgot to write the notes to my friends in NY!!! AHHHHHHhhhhh!!!! I'm so screwed!!! I'll have to do my OG one during the weekend and give it to them during the barbeque... And I have 15 more minutes before I have to leave for Petanque... Wah. I think I better go now before I run late... =(

Haphazard entry, I know... But I'm in a rush so.........

Frustration

Argh. To prevent myself from screaming, scolding and being sarcastic on my blog too much, i decided not to upload a few entries... so I didn't update for quite some time... sorry, yar?

Frustrations: Stuff stuff. Too much to even start... And even if I do I'll probably end up pissing myself off anyway. Oh well.

Poly: I'm pretty nervous about going to poly... I don't really know what to expect... and the only person I know going to SP is not in the same course and has a good friend going there too... so that means I can't hang around him too much... Argh... Freaky, really. But I made the decision and I gotta deal with it.

Separation: The hols are coming, and that means that everyone will be going to their different schools soon... I'll miss everyone... especially my OG... We're having a barbeque this coming monday, and might be our last time together as a whole... Let's all have fun on that day!! ^-^ As for my CT, I'm going to try to organise an outing. This friday maybe? Yep. Wish me luck. ;)

Stars galore

I know I had a lot more I wanted to say... I'll talk more about it when I remember... ^^;;

O level: Okay, for those who don't want to listen, please skip this section into the next. Yep. I received my O level results yesterday... and like I didn't really know what I was expecting. I kept my mind a blank, so that I wouldn't be too shocked if I got bad results, or below expectation. I took the paper, and the first number I saw was '8'. I stared at it for some time, then realised that that wasn't my score. I looked all over the paper, and then found out that my teacher wrote it at the top right hand corner. A '10'. I didn't know what to think. I wasn't sad, nor really happy. I was quite satisfied, actually. Until I saw my other classmates.

Quite a few of my friends got 8, and a friend who got 10 too started crying, and couldn't stop. And when she did, she stared blankly into space looking depressed. I was kind of comforting her, but I felt quite silly, considering that I got the same marks as her. As for the rest of 4PE, I know they all got really high. Congrats all you gals!! ^-^ Have fun in your JC k?

As for my OG, like whoa, so many people got so high... I mean low. Wateva. 7s and 8s and 9s... like WHOA. Inferior me.

My CT? Smart asses too. Quite a lot got 9... 11... so my mark is about the average there... Thankfully. Dunno what to think. Oh, guess what? My English got an A1!!! Like wow! And my chem got an A2. My Physics didn't get the A1 I wanted though... got an A2... My humaninities? As usual. B3 and C5. Like ouch. The C5 is like this thorn in my result slip. ... Oh well. And to think I used to score well in lit. Look at me now.

OG outing: I should think there should be another coming up... soon. 10 in January, 0 in feb. I hope those who thought that we were having too many outings are happy. I kinda miss them. ^-^ Can't wait for it to come. ^^

Where to go: Finally decided where to go. And what to do. Like this afternoon. ^^;;; My course? Information Technology (Information systems option) Singapore poly, here I come.

So tired... ...

I'm so sorry, whoever it is that's reading this... I haven't updated in ages... Haven't had the time... and am so extremely tired when I come back from school... I can't remember stuff that I wanted to blog about, so I shall just talk about things that are super recent -- like today.

Computing: Gosh, some certain people in my CT are irritating me... And I feel damn guilty during computing... A few people like to copy my programmes and just paste them as their own, without knowing how to do it!!! I mean, what's the point of doing computing then??? You might as well not come for the practical!! And if you don't know, there's always someone called the TEACHER that you can get help from!!! They keep bugging me to let them copy, but I feel that I'm not helping them at all. Friends? Hmf. I hardly feel like it. I feel like I'm only helping them to become worse in computing... I don't mind if they just look at how others do it and learn, but they're just copying wholesale!!! Fine, not all of the time, but still quite often. Some of the guys that _used_ to copy are doing everything on their own now. They even went to borrow books on computing. Like wow.

I know I'm ranting... sorry. Slightly pissed. You don't ask someone for help, piss her off at the same time, and then decide to copy her work. I'm not mentioning names. And the teacher had the idea that the guy was so smart to handle it on his own and thought that I had much difficulty handling mine. He even asked me "Can you cope? If you need any help you can ask me. " Like WHAT??? Argh. Thank you so much for your faith in me.

Fine. So I'm over-sensitive. But seriously, you shouldn't me telling me this when I'm trying my best to do everything on my own. And to think that usually my friends are sensible enough to try everything on their own. Obviously now it isn't the case... They don't realise I'm trying to help them grasp the subject better... Copying won't help. Trust me. I've been there.

O level results coming out: Whee. Another problem. Results are out in like, what? 3 days? And I am still unsure about where to go. Poly? JC? My friends will know how bloody lazy I am. Either route I will have to change myself and be more disciplined. Poly expects a lot from me, and I have a low self-esteem. How the heck can I handle myself in poly? Poly will probably demand more and train me more, while in JC there are opportunities for such training, though optional. Knowing myself, I'll probably need to go to poly.

Then come the next few problems... course and choice of poly. Merlin knows that I didn't get to go to ANY of the open houses. I. Am. So. Screwed. I'm thinking of either Singpapore Poly or Nanyang Poly, depending on the course I finally decide on. Animation I'm scared of entering, so on the safe side I better not... Interactive media design sounds like what I did in MMC in Secondary school, but I'm not sure. It sure sounds fun. And then there's Computer Science. Hmm. Follow my brother's footsteps? I don't know... Will I be able to handle it? If I go step by step I should be okay... right? Right? *sigh* I'm so damn dead.

I so badly need someone neutral to talk to me... Someone who won't keep pressurizing me to go to JC without even listening to me... 3 days... omg. I repeat -- I. Am. So. Screwed. Help.

V day... Howl's moving castle... 1 week more...

Howl's Moving Castle: Wah!!! I went to watch Howl's moving castle on Sunday with a friend... Was supposed to watch with some of my CT people... but so many people backed out so we had it cancelled... But it was nice!!!!!! Lots and lots of COTTON CANDY!!!!!! ^^ Heehee... Love the movie man!!

1 week more: Guess what happens in 1 week? I bet you already know... O level results! Many people start worrying about how their results will be like when they get their result slip... for me, I get stressed, and scared. 1 week... The day of the results means so many things to me...

Where to go: Firstly, where on earth do I go after I get my results? Continue on in JC? Or go to poly? I wanted to go to poly... but now? I'm not sure... I have no confidence in doing animation... Interactive media design? I dun even know what they'll be doing! Or just plain computer science like what my bro did? I don't know. And after I go poly, I still have to go to the U no matter what. I don't want to go overseas, which means that I have to get into the local univrsity... which means I have to start working and stop slacking once i get into poly... but in JC it's also not a guaranteed place in the U. It just means that I'll have higher chances of getting in... Wah. And my brother said that when you go into the university from poly, it'll be easier for you to understand what they teach. @.@ 1 week... 1 week more to decide... *sigh*

End of...: With the release of our results, it also means that I won't be able to stay with my OG, or my CT anymore... These few weeks have gotten me quite attached to them, and I can't bear to part with them... =( I just want things to remain as they are... though that's not quite possible...

V day: Okay, before you get the wrong idea, no, I didn't get anything. I gave away quite a lot of chocos though... and today Pei Yu gave me one packet in return. ^-^ For the past few days, I have been coming back late cause I was searching for the soft toys and stuff for the OGLs... Finally I got everything last night and came back home at 9, exhausted, and with an aching back (thanks to the fact that I had to carry the 3 wooden boxes with me). Today I tried looking for all the OG people to get the letters, but not everyone was finished with their notes, and I lost Melody's note to Jeff, which got me super anxious... then to my horror, a teacher announced that the Year 2s weren't having their common lunch with us -- which meant that there was no common break where we could get the OG together to give the OGLs their presents!! I freaked, naturally, and almost went into a panic attack. During my break, though, I saw the 3 OGLs at the canteen, and Melody and Li Min told me to give the stuff to them. With no choice since there wouldn't be another chance to see them, I gave the stuff to the OGLs, uncompleted (without all the notes from the OG peeps).

OGLs' reaction: That was what got me really happy and relieved and hyper for the rest of the day. I didn't even *almost* fall asleep during Computing Mathematics lecutre!! They looked really surprised (in a pleasant way I should think) and Jeff's motuh even dropped! ^^ It was so cute- Heehee... I wish that I had a conventional camera with me at the time though... then I could take pictures of their reactions... Wah. I hate my goldfish memory... I'm just hoping that the images will stay imprinted in my mind... ^^ I love my OGLs!!! ^^

Cosplay: There's one coming up next month... OMG, so little time... I'm doing Howl from Howl's moving caslte (like wow, my first time doing a guy in 2 years and erm... 3 or 4 months? In my cosplaying history anyway) BUT! I can't find a full body picture of the version I want to do on the net... Dammit... No time...

HAPPY CNY!!

First and foremost, I'd like to wish everyone an early HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! Another 1 and a half hours more... Hope everyone who celebrates chinese new year get lots of angpows the next two days!! ^-^

Did you know? Do people realise that we're not supposed to visit people on the 3rd day of chinese new year? I bet you you didn't know that. Don't ask me why it's like that. It's just a tradition.

CNY celebration: The celebrations in school were quite okay... the lion dance was so cute!!!! The lion kept bouncing around and blinking its eyes. ^-^ Aww!! I was supposed to pass the oranges to my civics tutor, and I forgot to say all the 'gong xi fa cai' 'wan shi ru yi' thing... I just went there, shook his hand, said 'happy chinese new year', looked blur, passed him the oranges and walked off. Omg, how stupid can I get?

SC: After the school celebrations, I waited for Hui Shan and both of us took a bus for a few stops, before we decided to get off and take a cab instead. We rushed to SC only to find that most of the teachers had left, and so I decided to walk around for a bit before going to meet Momoko and Andrea. The two of them along with Yi Chun popped over to my house for a short while before I went out with Andrea.

P.S.: We went to PS to play arcade... and we saw this really cool yet cute girl... (At least in my opinion) We let her play her round first, and she was quite unlucky... she changed the options to something she didn't want, or she chose the wrong song... and she couldn't dance it... she cursed and then grabbed her bag and left. Heehee... She seemed quite down on her luck... But after that she came back and watched Andrea and I dance while waiting for her friends... Quite embarassing... I'm not good at freestyle... and there were so many people watching... Why did they have to take away the para machines on the highest floor?? Now E-zone's one is packed with people... Argh. But it was fun. ^-^

I give up... NOT

OG outing: Okay, so it didn't turn out as expected... Or rather... others already thought it was deemed to fail. I bet you it's because I was the one organising it... We went to eat, and then went to the arcade... but everyone didn't want to play para because the machine was right next to the glass window... I could see that everyone was dying of boredom... I wanted to just stop playing right there and then, but I put in the money already, so I couldn't possibly just leave right?? so I played the rest of the games as fast as possible, which obviously still wasn't fast enough... It seemed that some of them had more fun after we played the 3-puck game thing... but after that a few had to leave... including Sam.

After: The remaining people bought ice-cream, except for raymund, and then sat down underneath a tree to eat. Unluckily, a leaf landed in Chun Boon's ice-cream and he refused to eat it after that. ^^;; Kevin left then, and Raymund, Chun Boon, Peng Loong and I headed down to Orchard by squeezing into a packed MRT. Chun Boon left, leaving only 3 people. I needed to look for something, so Peng Loong and Raymund came along and helped. Then I went for class. End of outing. It was quite a failure, actually... Such a failure (it's the 2nd or 3rd time already, for me) that I don't think I ever want to organise another OG outing ever again...

Apologies: I apologise to everyone whom I kept bugging to go to the outing... As you see, it failed, so I guess you could say you didn't miss anything... Especially Jeff. I bugged him for like 2 hours... Argh. And I apologise to everyone for even suggesting the arcade.

CT: BUT!! I'm not giving up totally... I want my CT to go out together at least once... so as the CT rep, I'll have to try and get the class together... failed once already... don't want it to happen again.

Petanque: Next next thursday the J1s are going to Escape for 'experiential learning'. A small group of Petanque people are gonna go for dinner after CCA on the same day. I can't wait!! ^-^ Unfortunately, though, we haven't asked everyone whom we want to go yet... But right now, I'm loving it. Petanque people are nice. At least those J1s I know.

Fear: The OG is drifting apart, I can see... And no matter how hard I try to stay with them, I notice that less and less OG people stay together... O level results are coming out soon... and the time I'll get to spend with all of them will probably end soon... Scary... Should I try and spend more time with my CT instead? I really don't know... And Petanque... I don't want to leave it... Or the people...

But all things have to come to an end...

Imperfections

Irriitation: Argh. I'm so irritated with myself... I've been irritating people, I know it, and I'm not even sure why... I hate my cluelessness sometimes... It's like, I can't find out what people think is so irritating about me since I'm so blind... Someone please tell me what it is!!

Blindness: Some things can be glaring bright neon red right in front of my eyes and I won't even notice it. Okay, fine, I may notice it if it were really BRIGHT NEON RED in front of me... I mean, who wouldn't? But anything less obvious, and I'm lost. Seriously.

Story-telling time: I was walking home from the bus stop (it was about 9+ by the way) and was crossing this road leading out of a hotel, and this stupid car decided to turn in WITHOUT SIGNALLING while I was crossing the road. The road wasn't very narrow... It was quite big, so I had to run to get out of the way while it horned its way through. Geez, if I didn't know better I'd think the driver was trying to kill me. Or he was drunk. Or he just didn't know what SIGNALLING was for. If he even knew what it was...

Do I look unlikeable?: Okay, qn for the day. Was thinking about it... and then crossed another road, and halfway through, this bus which was passing by me (not across my path) suddenly horned. After crossing the road I turned back and realised that there wasn't a car in front of the bus, so that means that it was horning at me, right? But I wasn't doing anything! I wasn't even strolling across the road. I was walking at my normal speed, so there shouldn't have been a reason for the bus to horn at me, right? Right? Maybe I just look very 'qian bian', so the bus driver decided to horn at me to show his displeasure. Or maybe he/she was just PMS-ing... I was quite sleepy when I got off the bus, but after the two encounters, my eyes refused to close until I got to the safety of my house. Where I promtly got scolded. Whee. How fun.

Recollection

I had lots of things to say, but now... just can't remember them...

Overlapping emotions-
Anger, uphappiness, confusion, resignation...
Contentment, joy, disappointment.

Confusing mixture, isn't it?

OG: I feel that everyone isn't able to find time to go out together anymore... But never mind. I've had memories, saddening, and much more happy, memorable ones... Lobstering in macs, finding neoprint machines that can fit all of us... nightly mass conversations... Attempts in flying kites... And the arcade. Made lots of great friends too... Had lots more to say, but can't remember more than half of it, so I shan't bother...

Ex, and current SC pple: No, I haven't forgotten you... Haven't forgotten 6SY (surprise, surprise), 1/5, 2GY, 3PE and 4PE... anything before that is a blur... except for 4SY and 5SY... My memory only starts from there... when I 'officially' got into the anime world...

Memorable people => the usual recess anime gang. Will never forget you guys... my first step out of being anti-social... and the start of my memories... JS: For being really nice and sitting next to me in sec 1, and giving me lots and lots of great memories... Skye: How the heck can I forget you? It's purely impossible... Starting off bickering, then became good friends... cosplayed together... worked together... Won't ever forget you. HY: Slashing good times. Won't ever forget them. Thanx for sitting next to me in sec4. ^^ 'Manda Fay AKA Allamanda: Influenced you in a lot of things, like anime, cosplay... heh. But at least you got to know a new friend, and... *cough* Never mind... Cyberfair team: No, I haven't forgotten any of you!! Had the best time ever man! If only I had more pictures of us together... Jeff and Sam: Thank you so much for listening to me rattle sometimes and complain... and for giving advice and cheering me up (sometimes unconsciously) Wanxin, Limin, Melody: Thanks for hearing me crap on certain days... and not getting irritated. ^-^ Rachel: you do get irritated with me sometimes, I think... Thanks for the advice you give me some of the times... Meiling and Pei Yu: My first two friends I made in my CT. ^^ Great girls... Thanks for... well, being so patient with me even though I have this bad habit of running off everytime I see my OG and for blocking the teacher's view when I dont do my homework... heh.

No, no, I'm not doing anything stupid or running off or anything like that... just in a slightly odd mood right now... Sorry... really pointless update...

Something wicked this way comes!

Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!!

Eye of newt and toe of frog...
Wool of bat and tongue of dog...
Addler's fork and blind worms' sting,
Lizard legs and owlet's wings!!

Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron... bubble!
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!!!

~Harry Potter 3~
.
=========================================
... Heya. That was quite random. Not without reason, of course. I was thinking about my rather unlucky day, and this song (which I love, by the way) started playing, and kind of cheered me up. ^^ So I decided to put it in my blog. I would play it as my background music but it's really short, and it would probably irritate all of you... heh.


Suay: This morning I was sitting next to Uncle during Physics. I was on the furthermost right, and Peng Loong, followed by two other guys and then Kevin were sitting on Uncle's left. They decided to start playing tic-tac-toe and then invited me to play. I wanted to turn it down at first, but when I saw them draw crosses and triangles on the paper, my hand got itchy so I took my pencil and drew a star. They passed the paper down so that each person would draw something until it reached Kevin, but before Kevin got a chance to draw on the paper, this teacher came and caught us. Wah. Our names and classes were taken down and I freaked for the rest of the lecture.

Punishment: In the end, we were made to do the tutorial by Monday as punishment (even though they hadn't finished teaching the chapter), and poor Peng Loong was made to do an essay on Isac Newton because he 'talked back'. Stupid, really. The teacher asked stupid questions like 'why were you all playing?' All Peng Loong did was answer truthfully, (and, in my opinion, made the teacher look stupid in the process) and he was doubly punished. If they didn't expect an answer, don't ask it! Geez... But it was funny. The teacher looked quite confused... Heheheh... ^_~ Been guai all along, so I thought it was quite fun to see PL answer the teacher truthfully and fuel his/her anger... Very amusing indeed... Heh. The bad side of it though, is that we have to finish the tutorial... OMG, if even Kevin and PL can't do it, I'm gonna die...

Lessons and sweets: Very boring... Mr Chua shouldn't use the mike!! It just makes his voice sleep-inducing. It would be SOOOO much better if he didn't use it. It's not that he's boring, it's just that the tone is... ... I don't know how to describe it... just thinking about it makes me sleepy. I popped over 5 sweets into my mouth in an attempt to keep myself awake, but it wasn't much use. My classmate suggested pinching myself, so I spent the last half of the lesson pinching myself. Wah. The pains I go through to try not to fall asleep...

Petanque: It was quite okay... ^^ It seemed as though I improved during the drills but after that, as we practiced, my skills and judgement deproved. Oh well. But I made a new friend, and talked to this guy in my CT, who's also in petanque. ^^

CT: Tomorrow is Hui Xin's birthday... And the first time our CT will be going out together... Not everyone's able to go, though, as expected, but I'll get to para! ^-^ It's gonna be fun, I hope. (I feel somewhat OG-sick, if there's such a thing... I miss my OG...)

OG: Gonna get our OG T-shirt done soon. ^^ Can't wait to get it... Don't own any polo t-shirts so I'm looking forward to it... and we can go out together with it one day. ^^ And the next outing!!! MUST START DECIDING!!!

Brain-dead...

CT: We're currently planning for our fellow classmates' birthday thing... Cake... prezzy... And no time. We're planning to pon one lecture since not many people in our class take it and then finish early so that the CT can celebrate, eat lunch, and then go out to... shoots, I forgot what we're going to do after that... Never mind... we'll be doing _something_. Yeps.

Para: I found someone in the class who used to para too!! I'm gonna challenge him!! ^=^ Heehee... Can't wait... So fun!! And our next OG outing... Want to play like one group against another... Ooh.... Hopefully we'll get to do it!!! ^=^ *bounce bounce bounce*

Cross-country: The cross-country was in the afternoon today, and I hardly knew anyone... the only people I knew were the guys in my CT... and they're... well... ... I don't know what to say... they're different from the people in my OG... and kind of clique... I stuck to them until they told us to go toilet and come back in 10 mins... Since they are _male_ and I, female, we went different directions. When I returned, everyone was gone. Argh. Then I found this other group of lost route marshalls too, and we walked around, lost. Talked to them, but not a lot...

Official work: We found this spot near the finishing line (I stood alone) and just stood there blankly, cheering for those people I know and keeping an eye out to make sure that no one rolled down the slope or something like that... and when there was a car approaching I would just shout "GOT CAR!!!" Basically, yar, that was about it... Think I was half-blind... I didn't notice half of my OG people and my CT people... Hmm...

OG dinner: We stood at the bus stop, watching the buses pass us by, and after some time, we finally boarded a not-packed bus, (which became packed after the whole bunch of NYJCians boarded) and then headed for J8. We ate at Food Junction, and as usual, took neoprints. Bei Jia took so long to eat I almost fell asleep... We ended around 9 + and I took the MRT with Peng Loong. When I reached home, I got warned for coming back so late... Wah. I better watch myself before I get banned from going out...

Next OG outing: The following one will be NUMBER 10!!! Can't wait man!! Hopefully it'll be soon...

Random thought...

I was walking home tonight, and when I looked up I saw this really bright full moon in the sky. As I kept staring at it, I started thinking about some stuff...




Sunset. What comes to mind? A particular scene in a movie, perhaps? Don't you find it cliche to have happy endings in fairy tales where the princess finds her 'prince charming' and then "ride off into the sunset"?

Think about it. Sure, when you're stationary and looking at the couple through the camera on television, you think it looks spectacular, that it's romantic, but have you ever thought about if you were the 'prince' or 'princess' instead of just a spectator? How would it feel?

The sun is in front of you, but you know you'll never be able to reach it, and seriously, nor do you really wish to. You can keep riding and riding it forever, but sooner or later the sun will set, and you'll be engulfed in darkness.

Which led me to think... if darkness follows after sunset, why is it thought of as a 'happy ending'? Why not use... a sunrise or something? It sure seems more promising, to have your road in light, where you can look forward without fear. It seems more cheerful too, doesn't it?

Odd, really. The people who invented it were probably too lazy to wake up early in the morning... or by the time they finished writing the story it's evening... so they thought it would be more appropriate to have a sunset instead of a sunrise...

Laziness. Sounds like me.

Fly kite! ^^

Today's entry is about today's OG outing!!! ^^ Very fun~~

Fly kite: This afternoon we were supposed to meet at 1pm... As usual, only Kevin and I were on time... and Kevin came before me, again. I thought I was going to be late... but the rest only started pouring in like 10 to 15 min after I came... (I was just on time)... At about 1.35 everyone finally was present so we left to take a bus to the place where we were going to fly the kite. The bus came, and some of the guys were too lazy to run for it. But after an old woman ran past us for the bus, everyone started running. (dun ask me why) Anyway, we got on, and headed for the place. We bought 4 kites at 2.50 each and then went to fly kite. After over half an hour, I got my hands on one of the kites, only to find that I had no idea how to fly it. Then Li Min, Uncle and I went to ask this kind uncle for help. He helped us fly the kite, and it flew so high it was about the same height as the aeroplanes! It was so cool... then after that Peng Loong was very determined to fly his broken kite, but to no avail... At about 3.15 we let the kite go, and left the rest of the kites there, deciding to find a place to rest instead.

Arcade: I started bugging everyone to go to the arcade nearest to the field, but in the end they headed for the other arcade (which had much less games, and no para machine). Most of them started playing the car racing game, and Jeff and I played the drum game. After playing for some time and bugging them some more, I finally found someone who was interested to go over to the other arcade. So Kevin and I started walking over and the rest soon followed. As soon as we reached there, we tried finding a DDR machine cause Kevin wanted to play it, but there wasn't any... So, I set my eyes on the para machine instead.

Para: I tried my best to get everyone to play it, but qutie a few people only played it once (like Dean), and I didn't manage to get Bei Jia to play it... =( I kind of got Kevin and Sam addicted to it, unintentionally of course, and they started hogging the machine. ^^;;; Not that I was any better... I played quite a bit too... Sorry everyone!! Anyway, we played for quite a long while, and soon, the 1st to 8th (?) positions were filled with 'OG26'. We paused a while to play some other games, and then I had this urge to play freestyle, so the craze started agian... ^^;;; It was really fun and people like Kevin seem to have talent for this kind of thing. Chun Boon, Peng Loong, Darryl and Jeff were also good... Uncle failed the first game and then practically got A for everything else. Li Min also got an A... Like wow... I remember my first game was a C... ^^;;; Unfortunately, I didn't get any double S's today like I usually do... But it was great fun!!! ^^ Next time I must get them to play again... this time probably at the PS one... so can use two machines at once and everyone will get a chance to play... More than once. ^^ There also got DDR... Heheh... Am looking forward to it now...

PS: After playing para, we headed down to PS for dinner at Long John's and then took some neoprints... I looked ultra weird with my hair down, but my japanese skills finally came in use!! ^^ A little.. Like I told them where the eraser and the pen buttons were... ^^;;;;;; At least I was useful!!! After taking the neoprints we went to cut them, and this poor couple wanted to use the scissors but we were hogging it... Even after we finished the essential cutting Jeff and Dean continued to hog it and the couple walked away (to take some more neoprints?) Like, whoops. ^^ After that, we headed for the MRT to go back home!! ^^

Homework: Wah. I hate that word. Dean keeps pressurizing all of us during the mass conversations... I will start doing mine... soon. Maybe tomorrow.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT OUTING!!! ^^ OG26 RULES!!!!

Bad... and good.

Sorry, for this entry I'm just gonna rant, so you can ignore it if you want to.

Yesterday: I've cooled down now, but I was really damn pissed and upset and frustrated yesterday. Bei Jia suggested that we could go out for dinner together after seeing Sam's soccer match, and so I agreed. I got Jeff to help and we went round telling people about it. Kevin, Peng Loong, Uncle, Li Min, Shu Xian, Bei Jia, Jeff and I were supposed to go. Dean, Kelvin and someone else, I think, were unconfirmed. Sounds like a lot of people right? Yeah. I smsed my mum and told her that I was eating dinner out and there was no need to prepare my food. Seems like I was the only one who thought it was logical to do that.

Anyway, that aside, I reached the grandstand at about 4 and the game started not soon after. Quite some time later (with no goals), Kevin, Peng Loong, Uncle, Li Min and Jeff came. I had been extra tired the whole day, and was really looking forward to going out with the OG for dinner. After they heard that Sam was not going (I heard from WX that Sam was going out for dinner with his teammates) they started to want to leave. I tried to get them to stay, and even resorted to holding onto Uncle's bag, but Kevin and Peng Loong only took that chance to run off. After Uncle and Li Min explained that they had something on, I reluctantly let them go, only to return back to my seat to face Jeff who kept saying he wanted to go home too once every few minutes. By that time, I was sick of hearing that line. But Jeff was nice. Even though he said he wanted to go home, he still stayed in the end anyway.

After the four left, we sat and waited for Dean and Bei Jia for a few hours, with Shu Xian coming in somewhere in between. Then when everyone finally got together, Bei Jia called her mum, and then came to tell us that her mum cooked her dinner already. (At that time it was already almost 8.) The place we wanted to eat dinner at was too far for Dean, so Dean didn't go. Ironically, Sam saw us and decided to abandon his teammates to go out with us. So, all those who were supposed to go (save for Jeff and I) did not go, and the one person who 'supposedly' could not go, went.

In the end, there were only the three of us left. I know Sam and Jeff wanted to go home, and I only got sadder. Since I already told my mum not to prepare my dinner, I had to settle my dinner on my own anyway. After a while, my reaction to hearing the words 'Let's go home and eat instead' changed from agitated to passive. I think Sam and Jeff noticed, and decided to accompany me for dinner. Needless to say, when I returned home, I was really upset, especially with a few certain people. But at least I learned something: Our OGLs are the best!

Today: This morning I dreaded coming to school. On top of the long day (approximately 7am to 8pm of activities) I did not really want to face my OG after yesterday. I could feel the stress returning everytime I thought about the incident. I left the house early so that I could reach school before 7, but apparently, the bus I take every morning on a normal day is the first bus. I waited from 6am to approximately 6.25 and took my normal bus in the end. During duty, I felt like an idiot following the senior around, and only carried the announcement stand to and fro. Wasn't much of a good start. Then during tutorials and lectures, I had to use all my energy to keep my eyes open. Hence, nothing went in. Even if it did it probably went in one ear and out the other.

Got bullied: I got closer to my CT, and during the one hour break I had after 'Contact time' I went with them to the library with no one else to hang out with. William had just been elected as the 'welfare rep' and somehow or another he ended up with the CNY decorations competition paper. He wanted us to discuss it, but he and Weida ganged up against me and kept bullying me. This added to the bitter feeling that was already lingering from morning/yesterday (?) and I got quite irritated. William would go off topic or start talking to some guy sitting behind him (Anirudth) and when i try to get him back on track he would say 'As the Welfare rep, I have to remind you that this is a library and you have to lower your volume' or something along those lines. And when he is actually talking about the CNY deco thing, he would always end up saying 'As the Welfare rep, I have to tell you that you, as the CT rep, have to... (can't remember the exact words, but it was something about doing the proposal for the competition)' with strong empasis on the first 4 words. Not surprisingly, we hardly got anything done.

OG outing I knew nothing of: I felt much better by the time I saw my OG again in the afternoon, and I decided not to take it to heart. However, everything surfaced again when I OVERHEARD some people in my OG talking about the 'dinner' that they were supposed to have after the Pegasus meeting. I don't know whether I was supposed to be surprised, but no one told me anything about it. Then I think Jeff asked Sam something about the outing, and Sam turned to look at me and mentioned something (which I forgot, but it was something to do with him noticing that I was pissed) and I tried to look as if I didn't understand.

Sam: I think Sam was the only one who noticed that I was upset, and tried to cheer me up. Thanks a lot ah pa!! ^^ I really really appreciate it!! You guys (OGLs) rule man!! ^^

Petanque: Wasn't a good day, adding to the fact that I had just come out of lessons on the verge of sleeping, and so I wasn't looking forward to it. Halfway through GP, my only friend from Petanque I made the week before smsed me to tell me that she was going to Toa Payoh with another classmate, so I had to go alone. I freaked because I only remembered the number of the bus to take and not the bus stop. So I trusted my peabrain and just walked to the bus stop I thought was correct. Just to make sure, I confirmed with the bus driver (after tapping my EZ link card, which was plain stupid) and then took a seat. I noticed 2 J2s in the Petanque T-shirt, and scared myself half to death when they didn't get off at the bus stop I did. I reached the place almost half-an-hour early and found no one there at all. So I loitered around the place and smsed a Petanque senior to clarify whether or not I was in the right place. After some time, people started appearing and practice started. It was thankfully more fun than I thought it'd be. Made a few new friends, and my sleepiness dissipated after a short while. My throwing was _quite_ bad today, but there was improvement, so all in all it was okay. ^^


Okay... so I've been really rattling on... sorry, yar. You may ignore this entry if you wish, but I just needed some place to let it out. Yepz. If you've been reading, thanks.

How could I forget??

B'day: OMG!! I'm so sorry!! I forgot to mention about RAYMUND'S B'DAY yesterday!! ^^;; Heheh... Sorry. Yeah, anyway, it was Raymund's birthday yesterday... I was quite fun... but I think a few of us ended up eating a bit of wax... heheh... I cut the cake, and there was only JUST enough (actually Melody hardly got to eat anything...) for those poeple who were present, and Shu Xian didn't even eat! I thought it was going to be a four-sided cake, but when I opened it... SURPRISE! It was a round as anything. I knew it was going to be horrible trying to cut it. Wah.

Upcoming birthday: Guess what? Another birthday coming up this month! Just one day before the cross-country, too. Imelda!! Hmm... It's been ages since I really talked to her... All I've said to her recently was 'hi', 'bye' and '$2 please!'. ^^;;;; Oh dear...

Lessons: It was okay... but slightly boring... The most interesting one was physics practical (surprise, surprise) cause it was the only subject lesson today I didn't feel like sleeping in. Heh. And my CT was really funny... kept giving the teacher stupid answers and then Yoga decided to be nice and tell her the answer... I had an answer in mind, but decided not to spoil the fun, so I just sat there and amused myself. Heheh. ^^

CT: Really nice people... The first thing they said when I saw them was 'Hello monitress', which made me want to sink into the ground or bonk them on the head... more of the latter probably. Heh. Then talked a lot to this guy called William, who was really on about bonding the CT... And this group of people are thinking a lot of the CNY decoration thingy... William's quite bian4 tai4 (perverted)... kept thinking of going doing the CNY decorations in the female toilet. I asked him what's the diff and he was like 'ladies got girls go in mah, gents is guys.' I almost bonked him. Then he said 'Aiyoh, I from boy's school mah, cannot blame me...' I'm from a girl's school and I don't get the urge to barge into the boys' toilet!! =_=;;;;; Then we had a debate, and we concluded that boys were more immature than girls... which was already a common fact. But he's a nice guy. Everyone in my CT is nice. ^^

OG: Argh. Don't get to see them too often now... I see Dean, Kevin, Uncle, Li Min n Melody the most now... The rest I do see during breaks (most of them) but it's mostly these few that I sit through lectures with. During physics and F-math... MUST ORGANISE OG OUTING SOON!!!

Updated!

Bloggie: Yeah! Changed the layout!!! =) AND added a song. Wanted the original song but Chun Boon using it liao... so I had to search for the midi version... Not my ideal blog, but it'll do. ^^

Class rep: Guess what? Today my class elected the class reps (1 'lady' and 1 'gentleman') and I was elected the female rep. ^^ Hey, don't give me that look! Zettai gambaru kara! ^^ If you don't understand japanese, too bad. =P

After class: After GP I headed down with Meiling and Pei Yu, and as we passed by the library, I saw my OG inside! So, without much thought, I ran into the library and jumped (actually, more like tripped on my feet as I neared) Kevin and WX, who were nearest to me. Then I followed them to the computer area and started talking. After a few minutes, Pei Yu and Meiling appeared behind me, and I felt so guilty. This is like... the how manyth time already?!! Geez!! I felt so bad. I didn't expect them to wait for me... =( Sorry guys!!! Next time if I'm joining my OG I'll tell you guys first!!

OG: Anyway, then in the library, we sat down at the tables in the corner of the library and started lobstering. Talked a lot of crap, laughed a lot and made a lot of noise in the process. A girl came over to show her unhappiness, and then after that the librarian came to threaten us with her looks. After they left the volume got louder and louder and then I saw the librarian coming, so I quickly whispered to Rachel to lower her volume and I tried my best to look innocent, pretending I was thinking very hard in order to do my sums. Thankfully, she left after standing there looking angry for a few seconds. After some time, just before we could get kicked out of the library, we left. I bet you that everyone there were heaving a sigh of relief as we left.

New titles: Lame King and Queen: Dean and Bei Jia. Porn King and Queen: Kevin and Rachel. ^^ Wonder who's next...
