my 93rd post...teh countdown begins~!

somehow my most productive conversations happen at the most unimaginable places, and with the most unimaginable people...like walking down a dark pathway carrying shopping bags and talking with my mother.

we talked about Malay Malaysians and their indignancy at us Singaporean Malays for being so stupid, letting Chinese trample over us and removing our so-called rightful privileges. the point is...WE DON'T CARE! we want and we have racial harmony here, we're happy the way we are, and fighting with our fellow Chinese counterparts isn't gonna do a thing.

anyway, with me being the only Malay girl in class, if the Malays didn't like the notion of mainly Chinese ministers, I'd have a right good thrashing. I wouldn't have my friends I have right now, I wouldn't fit in. No one would.

back to school...Gifford's put a Simple Plan song, Untitled, into our group's Enzymes PPT. WH isn't too happy about it; he's putting up a stand that the song would distract people from the main point of the PPT, which is to educate people on enzymes. duh.

JK and WH had a right good debate on it, and the prevailing ending is that the song stays. though I'm quite puzzled, the song doesn't fit in with the Enzymes theme, and we'd have to shout if the song gets louder than our voices.

finally, for once, I was fully awake throughout the whole HMT lesson. well, partly due to the fact that Aqillah was there, and that since an Indian class had taken our classroom, we had our lesson in the library! XD we had to do this cool compo where people get to be evacuated out of a building. i put the theme of an anthrax threat.

though my story doesn't necessarily focus on the anthrax threat, it focuses on our readiness for any emergency attacks in future. my story was that even though the warning was given to evacuate, no one paid any attention to it, and only when the Special Task Force was brought in finally did they start moving.

it somewhat reflects on Singaporeans' attitude towards these situations. the stereotype is that Singapore is so safe, who the heck'll want to attack it? that's the main problem. Singapore isn't safe; nowhere is. London's been bombed, who knows when Singapore's turn'll be?

we could be next.

this was a picture of Class P4-13 GE2003 which was modified by me. It may not be as good as Nicholas's, or Zhiling's, or Jazlyn's, but no matter. I still like it anyway.

Imagine 100 years. we'd be dead by then anyway.

i forgot to post about my orals...hehe

i had English first, and it was pretty easy. the pix had practically nothing to talk about! which made me finish it in like, 3 minutes instead of the usual 5 they give you.

MT SUCKED! I forgot what "movie" was in Malay (it's "filem") and I didn't explain some points! Luckily it's only prelims, so heck with it.

Waiting rooms F1 and F2 were the earliest to finish orals (MWEHEHE! *does champion jig*) and we arrived at the IBC first! But we had to wait for 1/2 hr just to be dismissed. The teachers-in-charge of F1 and F2 were a jolly bunch.

But funny how people get when they hear you're from GE. The elderly teacher (F1) was surprised when she found out half of us were GE and said something along the lines of "No wonder, they look so smart." She even smiled at me and asked which class I came from, and was obviously pleased with the answer. But she's nice, really. After each of our orals, she gave each of us a thumbs-up and a reassuring smile. ^^

Den, Jane, Sugi and me had a mini-picnic after that. We bought sweets, chocolates and a bubble blower. We played around with the bubbles and guzzled down the food. A weird incident happened when Den and me were playing bubbles.

I saw someone darting in between pillars, spying on Den and me. I suspected that it looked so familiarly like a particular someone, and went to find out. I bumped into Jane, and she found who it was. it was ------! not surprising, really, on why he was there.

my orals were okay, the teachers were funny and nice, and on overall, it rocked! except MT, cos it sucked,

this is my 90th post...cool eh? when I reach 100, MINI-PARTEEH!

todays my lil bro's bday. He's turning 10, still a wise-ass and still looks weirdish. ah well. I guess this change is supposed to take place over a few years. today's also my aunt's birthday, she's turning 39.

i'm pretty worried. I won't tell you why. I'm just worried if this doesn't happen. hopefully I can achieve it by tonight or the next day.

i don't have anything to write now, so it's a small post. My sisters and brother and mom is off to buy butter crabs for dinner later, so it's me and Dad alone. but my face is glued to the com, so he doesn't bother.

blog ya later. consarned ants are still crawling up my hand as I type. wonder how they got there.

tomorrow is my Prelim orals...darn...

I'M SUPPOSED TO WAKE UP AT 5.30 AM TO REACH SCHOOL BY 7 AM!!!

like I can wake up that early on a Saturday?! -_-;; sigh...

I am soooo nervous! Not that nervous anyway, cos I'm playing comp games! ^^ Don't seem to worried about the oral, except that I'm most likely gonna forget some Malay phrases or words. which could lose me points.

today i found out that Mardhiah and Aqillah are going to join the HMT class, but not upgrading to EM1 or taking the HMT exam. the teacher said that they had the potential to heighten their skills, and where better than to join the HMT students?

nothing else happened today, or yesterday, or the day before that or something. so nothing to write. such short posts...

ah well.

Driving along the road
In a sea-green convertible
Eating Whopper from Burger King
Laughing all the way

HAHAHA!

Honk-honk-honk! Honk-honk-honk!
Honk-honk-honk-honk-honk!
Traffic jam while on the way to
Laugh and sing and play

HEY!

*sung to the tune of Jingle Bells

don't worry about my sanity, it was just a random song made up at night while waiting for anime to start. also when trying to interrupt and alter my sister's dreams.

0_o;;;

on second thoughts, DO worry about my sanity.

i just read this book on space today, and I was imagining...

...imagine yourself, standing in your room. imagine a bird's eye view of the room. zoom out, until you can see your neighbourhood, with its clusters of HDB flats or terraces or bungalows. zoom out, until you can see Singapore, the tiny little island you call home.

zoom out until you can see the whole Earth. zoom out, until you can see the Solar System, all nine planets of it. zoom out, until you can see the Milky Way. zoom out, until you can see all the stars in the universe, the gaping blank in the sky.

and then imagine yourself, standing in the midst of all those stars.

where are you? where are you? in those billions of stars, where is your exact position?

in that infinite place, where are you? that lowly being the size of an atom, compared to supergiants and galaxies and nebulas?

and then you realise how small you are.

update: me ish NO LONGER SICKO! YAYSIES!

halfway through madrasah, I thought I had a fever but later my fever, sneezing and watery eyes had subsided. so I am no longer sick. Isn't that sad? ^^;;

7/16/2005 08:11:00 PM

update: I AM STILL FRIGGIN' SICK!

and I missed anime again last night...same as last time, I fell asleep in that armchair....but I managed to catch the last 10 minutes of Shaman King at least.

i have to go to madrasah later today, and knowing me (duh I know myself), I'll start sneezing like heck halfway through the lesson again. -_-;;

looks like I've developed a half-immunity against Panadols. usually it'll take at the most 20 minutes for the paracetamol to set in, but this one DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!

my eyes are watering, my nose is twitching, my brain's gone nutsos...

being sick really sucks.

don't we all know that.

I am sick with teh flu, or cold, or just runny nose. and i hate that kind.

you get lethargic easily, you feel weak and stupid, and your brain refuses to do anything.

i knew something was wrong with me when I couldn't stop sniffing in the morning. i was right after all. now I've got a damn runny nose.

i wanted to skip HMT because I knew halfway through the lesson I'd start sneezing like heck again. and I did. it caused Sufyan and Hakim to create foolscap masks to protects themselves from me. stupid assholes.

to make things worse, it was raining heavily and as usual, I had no umbrella. So I walked out in the rain, drenching my uniform really really wet. and causing my runny nose to be worse. had a nice hot shower after that. ^^

today for assembly, a guy from Walt Disney company came and drew cartoons for us, and also taught us some tricks in drawing. we laughed all the while, especially when he drew Spongebob, and Johnny Bravo, and Tweety, and Pikachu, and *kawaii :3* Hamtaro!! Everyone also clapped loudly when the guy drew Spiderman!

ok, now I feel better. my mind's stopped being stupid and weak, I'm not that lethargic and my nose doesn't explode that much now.

after taking 2 Panadols, a pack of Yupi Gummy Worms and a bottle of Coke. ^^

and a dose of anime music and comp games.

argh...my RGS DSA interview was today leh...

luckily it didn't go too bad. the interviewers were okay, I could answer the questions and I strangely felt calm.

my mum thinks I can stand a chance entering RGS because she thinks that since RGS has so few Malay students, any Malay student that is capable of being responsible, who can cope with stress and heavy workloads, who has leadership ability...well, she thinks that RGS will accept them. And she's thinking they'll accept me, if her rationale follows as such.

I had an stressful day today. Darren was being such a pain in the neck, ass and anywhere you can think of. Singing his damned song, spitting all over my desk...I was stretched out by the end of the day.

NSW was okay...managed to answer all the questions, and to heck if I don't get a High Distinction or Distinction even. Next week's NSW english, yeah!

Interview continued:
The interviewers found out my niche area was in Languages, judging from the feedback forms they looked at. So I guess then there'd be no problemo in RGS, since they've got Philosophy and English Lit. classes. Cool...

TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS not THE QUESTION!

mwehehehehe...XDXD

me ish feeling lamerz now...psychotic...MURDERER! MWAHAHAHA!

ok nots...

today was the first time that I have never felt sleepy in a P6 HMT class before. well, mainly because Cikgu wasn't talking a lot, just marking worksheets. and the class was slightly noisy. HMTs should always be like that. I'm more attentive than ever. :P

photo-taking was yesterday. Denise held me in a stranglehold during the Candid piccy. Man, those P6 photos are the last ones we're gonna have in our primary school years, so...it better be good!

today was pretty boring...except for the new live Korean drama on TV. a lot of my classmates enjoyed watching it. but it was pretty irritating after a while, because a racket was raised while the show was going on.

*P6GE pupils, decode the message above. you-know-who-you-ares, at least it's not that OBVIOUS, is it?!*

not like LAST TIME...

I slept like crazy today. Five hours straight...why was I so sleepy? Dunno. Anyway, I missed a lot of internet time today!

However, tomorrow there's no Science Sup cos the Chinese have a competition to attend. But Ms Ho wants to take IDEA on Friday to make up for the lost session.

Science and English was funny today. During Science, we had a game about natural selection, and it included black, grey and white moths. Gifford termed the black moth a nigger, the white moth an ang moh and the grey moth a Chinese. The boys kept trying to kill off all the ang mohs, but they ended up killing all the Chinese instead. XD

Ms Ho asked us to restart again cos according to natural selection, the black moths are supposed to mampus first. Also, while rolling the die, the probability of killing a black moth is higher than killing either a grey moth or a white moth.

English was funny too. Darren's one was probably the worst ever. His story had a lot of illogical conflicts. For example, the bus driver was driving along the Sheares Bridge in Singapore, and suddenly in the next paragraph, the bus ended up in a remote forest in MALAYSIA?! How the heck did it get there?!

Ask Darren.

Also, when Mr Grosse was showing my compo on screen, everyone kept staring at me as he explained my mistakes. but they didn't stare at other people when Mr Grosse was explaining their mistakes.

So what's wrong with me, huh? Were there antennae on my head? If there wasn't any, stop staring at me.

and I was like, "F**k you all... stare at me for what...f**k you..."

hah.

blog ya later. got Maths homework to do, which I think should be relatively easy, I guess.

I went swimming today. I must say, I can swim better than before now. I can even open my eyes in water, except that the pool would look like what you'd see in a kaleidoscope.

Irritating brother found a friend at the pool, and both tried to drown me. Luckily, their swimming sucks. Flailing around like a fish out of water.

Still haven't finished homework. Currently trying to get a start on science, but I'm kinda befuddled. Still have malay to do too.

Eldest sis is going to Endau Rompin tomorrow, for 3 days or so. My sis rejoices on an irritating brother-free trip, and my bro is rejoicing on irritating sister-free days. 0_o;;;

There's still a raging war amongst the anime characters in the tagboards. JK has somehow gone delusional in thinking that I am faking being Sephiroth. Excuse me, but the messages on your tagboard is defintely CLEAR enough. duh. I only take up characters which I know well, and Sephiroth is NOT one of them, JK.

RGS has called again, to confirm the time and date of the interview. My slot's on the 12th of July, 4.20 pm. Gosh, am I so nervous. Not. Anyway, I don't really know what to expect. sigh...

sigh...

sigh...

I'M RICH! RICH I SAY! MUEHEHEHE! XDXDXD

in MapleStory, that is. I reaped over 7ok mesos in ore sales. I sold my 3 gold ores for 10k mesos each and sold fame. The person agreed on 5k, but then gave me an extra 1k for being nice to her. Free 1k...can't pass it up, can I? ;P

whip out a crossbow and someone thinks you're out of crossbow arrows. weird. I took out my crossbow to have a change of weapons and what do you get? over 1000 crossbow arrows. @.@ weird definitely.

nothing much's happened in the past few days. the only news I got was from RGS, saying that my DSA interview is on the 12th of July...still not prepared...

anime nuts are still on the rampage and JK's cleaned out his taggie for the umpteenth time already. he should just ignore them, like I do. I haven't cleaned out my tagboard since I got it.

i forgot my tagboard password, anyway. 0_o;;;
