Well, there's no such thing as 257MB or 257-bit color...maybe there's 2.57 GB...

Today God seems to be answering my doubts in a weird way.

I had just eaten 2 eggs already. I heard from someone that you can only eat 2 eggs a day or you'll get diarrhoea or whatever. But I really wanted to eat one more egg, so I asked my sis for her opinion. She said it was up to me, but I'd get high cholesterol. So while I was wondering whether to eat it or not, the egg slipped from my hands, fell onto the carpet and cracked.

Problem solved, my sister said. It's cracked, so eat it.

Later I cooked some noodles and put an egg in it. Then I realised I would be eating four eggs already. So I slurped up the noodles only and left the raw egg yolk in the soup. I decided to fry it later or perhaps offer it to my brother, who was cooking an egg himself. He said he didn't want it when I asked him. I was just about to whip the yolk further when the bowl slipped from my hands and fell onto the floor, spilling its contents.

Problem solved, I thought to myself, albeit in a different way than I wanted. Weird.

Went to Sweet Talk at the newly-opened Munch House at Sembawang MRT for bubble tea. Still a fave with me even after the bubble craze.

Mish changed her blogskin. I think I'll change mine too. I'm not happy with the way the font is presented. There's no spacing in between the paragraphs. I'm fussy about appearances, really.

Tomorrow is the launch of Learn@SDC! Wahoo yeah! 3G phones, coming right up!

If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Until I see you again
I'll be loving you . . .
Love, me

Heheh.

On Sunday I went on a road trip to IMM with my family. As usual, we dropped by Daiso. Then we ate at Bagus, I think it's another branch of Banquet. The good thing about Banquet is that all the food there is halal. So I can even eat char siew wanton noodles! I love the char siew!

Went back home around 8. Since my father's car still had about 40km left to go, we dropped off the groceries and decided to go somewhere. My father initially suggested going to Sembawang Park, but I heard that there was a Cik Pon there, so we quickly quashed the idea. Instead, he drove all the way to Punggol to this SBS terminal.

On the way there, we passed the famous Punggol Kampong House that's reputed to be haunted. My father decided to stop at the side of the road to spook us out. We started shrieking at the back of the van. Luckily, the side of the road we stopped on was the other side of the road, not the side with that house on.

At the Punggol SBS terminal, there was a marble/granite/whatever block with words inscribed on it about the historical value of that place. Turns out that the Japanese killed a lot of Chinese along the shoreline there (the terminal's near the sea). My little brother also recalled that there was a haunted tree near there, according to the SPI website.

Quite a number of people were there to fish, and there was a police booth there, with two policemen. One of them was pretty weird. When I went to throw some litter in the bin, he was peering out the window with his hands in a binocular-like position. We ate some icecream there by the vendor selling icecream (I suspect he is illiterate), then we went home. Passing that haunted house, on that side of the road.

My father stopped at the side and my sister threw the door open. I buried my head in the cushion, only daring to look after a few minutes. Nothing was there, luckily, but I said a prayer just in case.

On Monday I went iceskating for the very first time. I was shaky for a while, but after I got Talia to tie my skates tightly I felt more confident. I only fell once or twice, skidding on my knees once when Teesh attempted to tug me.

I handed in my PT earlier in the locker. I saw someone else's PT there too. I forgot to include the background of my organisation, so I'm hoping that I can put it in later when I go back to school on Thursday. Will she mind? OMFG I hope she won't.

My sister puked last night. The puke smelled somewhat like the vegetarian rice I like to eat, but it was more stronger. Heh. It was in a curry-reddish brown color too.

Can't wait for Learn@SDC.

Goddamned Lit PT.

I intended to do it last night, but I ended up falling asleep on the couch and waking up the next morning. With Lit PT undone. As well as my Lit filing.

Not to forget that I missed my usual train and forgot my nametag. At recess, I had the option of passing up my file or doing my PT. I chose passing up my file. Got back my History PT, and it definitely ain't looking good.

The later part of the day wasn't so bad. During aesthetics at the first part, some teacher split us up into two groups, or three. Beginners, Grade something-to-something and finally Grade 7 and above I think. The beginners were percussionists, Grade something-to-somethings were brass players and I dunno about the top group.

Percussion was OK. We practiced for a while, before we demonstrated our "prowess" to the teacher. Everyone else played the snare drums, I played the bass drum and Gracia, unsure of how to play the rhythm, was given the cymbals. I guess it sounded OK.

Later we were taught part of the basics of the cha-cha. That's the dance for my dance module. It's OK, but the foot steps they taught us were repetitive. I guess that's cos it's just the basics. The NCC Air people had to leave pretty soon after that.

The Airhead didn't follow us to the Amoy Quee camp, luckily. Nor did CLT Feline. So we could be chatty all we wanted.

The rifle thingy wasn't so bad. Some guy taught us how to disassemble and assemble a rifle as well as how to handle and shoot one. I loved doing the disassembling and assembling of the rifle. It was...nice.

Mrs Ng was left at that covered area while we fell in somewhere to hand in our rifles. Meanwhile, the instructor from before looked after us. He asked if we were under CLT Feline, and so we said yes. And he told us to tell her that he said hi, and that he was a very good friend of hers.

Not a good idea to say that when you're amidst a bunch of giggling Sec One girls, even though they're in NCC. Immediately after we were dismissed and were heading for the bus back to school, everyone started discussing about what he meant. Especially about he being a very good friend of CLT Feline.

I think we were reading a bit too in between the lines. Even to the extent of reading left, right, up, down and centre. Wait till we ask CLT Feline next training lesson.

"M'am, your *ahem* very good friend says hi."

Doing my Lit PT now. Gotta hand it in tomorrow with a formal letter of apology, she says. I can so imagine.

"Beg pardon a thousand apologies, oh most Exalted Leader of the English Literature.

I grovel at your sacred feet, however noxious the smell emanating from those holy toes..."

How's that for an apology letter eh?

Monday: A Hectic Photo-taking Day

Had phototaking of class 112 in the morning, at 0925. Then, after school, at 1505, I had my NCC Air phototaking. I mixed up the timings for the PERBAYU phototaking, so me and Maryam and Liyana came for it half-an-hour early.

Luckily, CLT Koh was understanding and let me off when I told her I mixed up the timings. So I spent the rest of the day just watching the rest do drills and running around madly, changing uniform and stuff like that.

It was Liyana's birthday today and Maryam wanted to surprise her by buying a birthday cake for her. So it was a tough plan going to Wisma Atria to buy a cake, and ask one of the tuckshops to store it til the evening, and to hide the secret from Liyana.

Nana had suspected already when Mar and I started talking in codelike language. So I tried to put her off our trail by saying that someone had entrusted us with an item to keep, but we weren't allowed to say what the item was. I think she bought it.

Then after NCC Air, then we brought out the cake. Liyana was quite pleased upon looking at the cake, and gave Rebekah, Maryam and I one big hug apiece. Lucky Becky wasn't there. But she didn't get to eat the cake, poor thing. At least she doesn't need to pay for it now. >< I owe Mar $4.50. That cake from BreadTalk cost 23 bucks.

Feh. Doing homework now. Determined to switch the comp off by latest 1.

253rd post...

"What's she looking for the key for? To make out with it?" she jeered loudly, in between fits of laughter. My eyes teared up, a frown creasing my face. I slowly removed my glasses and with my index finger, wiped the two lone tears slipping down my cheeks.

She stole it. The key. I was struggling to remove it from the hook, so she offered to help. I wanted the key. I liked it. It somehow appealed to me. But after she managed to extract it from the hook, she put it goodness-knows-where.

The key didn't work. It didn't open or close doors and gates. The lock it was intended for was broken. It seemed useless to waste such a perfectly good key.

I wanted that key. That specific key. That was the key I saw; that was the key I liked and I wanted it. I couldn't find the other similar keys. Probably God hid them for a reason. So I could have that key.

I didn't know as of yet what I would do with the key. There were many possible things - a charm for a necklace, a roleplaying object, an attachment for a keychain, a pretty thing to look at. Though the necklace charm appealed to me the most.

Hanging it on a string, tying it around your neck...the key feeling like a deep secret you hold close to you. The shining silver catching your eye as you peep into the mirror. The feeling of cold metal against your palm as you clench it in your fist.

The key that wasn't meant for anything. The key that never opened doors, nor locked them.

The key that wasn't a key.
----------
GE Open House today.

Ushering wasn't that bad, but I could find no conversational issues to talk about to the girls I shepherded to the KS Chee theatre.

The uniform I wore made me feel like a prefect due to its resemblance to the senior prefects' uniform, apart from the difference in the skirt and the culottes. I liked wearing it. Made me feel...authoritative.

Celeste overheard a parent say in Chinese "So short!" when she looked at her. I could've laughed. Wait till she sees the rest.

Saw some of the Rosyth girls like Crystal, Victoria, Gloria and Rachel. Naturally, since I haven't seen them in half a year. Only 11 attended the Open House. Hopefully, I get to see them next year and be an Angel to one of them. ~.- Poor Ruth. I'm such a bad, bad mortal. Didn't write to her after the March holidays.

Saw NCC Land today doing their Annual Camp. I quaked in my shoes looking at them. Celeste and Liyana were both equally freaked out. Their seniors were so strict (JX wasn't wearing her beret, I noticed) and they kept barking out near-unintelligible orders.

I saw Whai Peng today. Well, not that I saw her, I heard her mother say "Why you never call her?" or something like that. I turned around and I saw her mother looking in my direction and smiling. I was taken aback, so I just looked uncertain and continued walking.

Wahey! 2.4km run is OVER! And surprise, surprise! I GOT AN A, BAYBEH! 14 minutes and 24 seconds!

Usually for PE lessons, when I run with Gracia, I get roughly 17 minutes or so. Maryam and I told each other that we'd run together, but if one of us goes faster than the other, don't turn back. Just keep running. And, uh, so I did.

o(><)o Sorry Mar!

I didn't see anyone in front of me, and not that I really bothered to check who was behind me. Jing Xuan was about half a minute faster than me, and Talia checked in 5 seconds after. Nancy, as usual, led the pack, so I came in third in the second batch.

After running 2.4km and stopping to walk only 3 times, I felt high like a druggie on crack. My feet were unstable and I was sort-of disoriented. My sis says it's because of the endorphins released. Took me nearly an hour to clear my head.

The conditions were optimal for running. Good cloud cover, a fairly strong breeze...

So yeah, this seals my Gold NAPFA award with 27 points. I think that's the highest number of points I've gotten so far...

Poor Jaz and Grace. They had to forsake several seconds off their timing because of some fluke. So they gave the earlier timings to Ling Xi and Cheng Ee. At least the change in their timings doesn't affect their grade.

Jaz, Pearlyn, Celeste and me went to Thomson Plaza after the run for dinner at KFC. After that, we went home. Stupid 980 that came first drove off. Idiotic driver.

Tomorrow is GE Open House and I'm an usher, yeah! I finally get to wear the semi-formal uniform as well as the school blazer. Yes!!!! Luckily, the bunch of people I'm working with at the walkway to the hall are all 1/12ers. And there's Celeste there too, so I'm OK. Liz is at the registration booths, so she'll pass the parents to us.

Hahaha...next week is already the last week of this semester, and thus begins the month-long June holidays! Time flies when you're...I don't call this having fun though...

251st post...

Today was a normal Thursday.

Mdm Rozanah is our T/IC for Learn@SingaporeDiscoveryCentre. Sze Min joined our group. This Learn@ is much better than last year's which I participated in. Cos we are using...3G phones! Wahoo yeah! The end product also is not a website, but instead we are moblogging man! MOBLOGGING! This one is LUFF <3333!

Jazzo, Grace and Sze Min are all pros at drawing and designing (can't say the same for my own abilites), so I think the design will be a cinch. For writing and stuff, I think I can sorta do it...><

Was surprised and excited when I heard it was Learn@. I thought Daphne said it was at the SSC. Still...woot yeah!

Lit PT group presentation is tomorrow and the whole group is discussing now. But there seems to be a rift between Debby and Mar. Meanwhile, I am suiciding myself by entering witty comments which could've gotten me in hot hot water. I find that, even in the most direst of situations, I try to find humour in anything. That's why I love that HOM. Squee! It should be my personal motto.

But don't try to take it too far though. I could end up being in hot water, as I said before.

I wrote down the articles I would write for our class SL project. I decided on "The Effects of Space Exploration on the Earth" and "Geothermal Energy". Doing geothermal energy is in honour of my old group in Rosyth, consisting of Mish, Weng Hong and Russell Lim. We did geothermal energy as our Science project, remember?

Good times then, good times.

Another so-so day. Would've been better if Computer Studies was today.

Had a class meeting today. Miin was being grilled by Mdm Rozanah about the class fund, which seemed to be handled improperly. Quite an amount from the fund was carelessly used. I feel like someone in NKF just finding out about the misuse of funds. Suddenly, the whole thing's dredged up and the truth is exposed.

But Sarah says the worst is not over yet. It's still not out. I hope the truth will be revealed soon.

I questioned myself, after school, how did I get to know about this? I'm not even in the class committee, I have never used the class funds before, and suddenly I get to hear about this. Whee. This doesn't sound good. I hope everyone won't get mad if they hear it.

For the GEP Open House, I was kinda mad when I heard that JX couldn't come so I had to be paired up with someone else to lead Nanyang. I always wanted to give the Rosythians a tour! Now because of her, I can't! I'm now an usher, to show the parents to the hall. At least Liz is also an usher. Good thing is, I finally get to wear the RGS blazer, even though Joni says the blazers are big-sized.

But I am damn shy. >< Can't face parents I don't know. But that's why I signed up in the first place! You sad, strange contradicting little girl. Sigh.

Tuesday. Sigh.

Nothing much going on today. As usual, everyone was struggling with Literature. I sense that Mrs Loh knew about us and our unfinished Lit homework. I just felt that. Luckily, she didn't pursue it any further.

Chinese test today...was...so-so. I could get the hanyu pinyin, but not the tones. At least we'll get half-marks if we get the tone wrong but the spelling right. I got plenty of half-marks, I rechecked. Feh.

I forgot to take the cheque again, as usual. The most convenient time for me was during Chinese break, and by that time, the Accounts Department was already closed. So...looks like I'll have to collect it tomorrow, and I'd better! Mama's been waiting for that thing since last week.

Short day. ^^ End.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...

CHORUS
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

Your still in bed at 10, and work began at 8
Burned you breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees - and

CHORUS

No-one could ever know me
No-one could ever see me
Since your the only one who knows - what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even in my worst I'm best with you

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year

CHORUS

- I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts

My day started off on the wrong, shaky note. I tried printing my History PT out, but my father's printer ran out of one colour and the shared printer didn't work*. When it was finally printed out, the missing colour caused half my PT to turn a bluish colour.

Then I realised that I had forgotten to search for my beret for NCC Air. So I ran around frantically hoping to find it. My mother eventually retrieved it from an abandoned plastic bag. That caused me to leave the house very late, around 6.40 am.

The 190 bus came late, so I arrived at school only at 7.38 am. I finally took a blue slip for the first time in my secondary school life. And my reason for coming to school late is damn lousy. When I finally reached class, Mdm Rozanah and Mr Segarra was there already, taking votes for the rep for the Singa Award. The nominees were outside, and when they saw me, they immediately when "Ooooh...", the kind of sound you make when someone's in trouble. I told them to shut up or die.

Not to forget that almost everyone in class was staring at me, and obviously wondering if I had been booked. To add injury to further injury, I hadn't done my RS homework. I had been asking around the previous days what was the RS homework, and they never described to me what the worksheet was like. The worksheet in question was left in my Philo file.

During Philo, their presentations were pretty confusing so I felt sleepy. Then I spotted them looking at me. So in order to stay awake, I unknowingly inflicted self-pain by pinching and scratching myself with my right hand (long fingernails - forgot to clip them yesterday night).

At least I mellowed out during Comp Studs, and I was even more relaxed in Malay. I managed to find a total of seven vocabulary phrases and Cikgu was pleased with my Makmal ZNF composition. For that composition, I received the most ticks under the column for Excellent (4 marks) and the only tick I got for Satisfactory (2 marks) was for lack of vocabulary phrases usage. She even mentioned the ending for my story to the whole class, and she wrote a comment on my compo, saying that the ending was creative and exciting.

Yay! <333

NCC Air wasn't so bad. CLT Koh was exasperated at us for our lousy drills, especially our ke belakang pusing, but we eventually got better at it after several goes. She seemed very surprised upon hearing that we weren't taught a lot of things, and she said that we were very slow. Sigh...blame Airhead for that.

Nana pointed out to me that CLT Koh's nametag spelled S Y Koh, and if you said it all in one go it was pronounced as "psycho". Gulp. I don't think she's a psycho. Hopefully not. But it kinda makes you want to give her a nickname like we did Mr Chia.

Eeeps. Chinese SA tomorrow. Gonna study for it til 1.30 am or so. ^^

Mr Goh has gone away for further studies, so our teacher for two weeks is Mr Koh. Grace, Jaz and me should know him, he's our teacher for IT Club.

The whole class is now setting off to "seek inspiration from the internet", as someone put it. I have a spifferific idea for my front enter page, which is to put...nevermind. XP Let's leave it for later, shall we? Eheheheheh...

Another Rosyth "meeting" today.

I had to go to Maxwell Road for photos for my History PT.

It was pretty interesting, and I liked the photos I took of Red Dot Design Museum. Originally it was the headquarters for traffic police. I also took photos of the White House, CPF Building, Capital Tower, Airview Building, Maxwell Food Court, Fairfield Methodist Church and the Jinricksha Station, now to be converted into a...KTV Bar.

The Station is to be leased out for commercial purposes...but...a...KTV Bar?!?!

Ate some ice kachang at the Food Court; the durian is superb. Had to hurry to attend the "meeting", so I took NEL to Serangoon, then took 315. Thank goodness I still remember Elizabeth's words that the bus went to the interchange.

Serangoon Interchange is so quiet. When I first arrived, I thought it was eerie. It started raining heavily when I left the NEL station. So when I reached Rosyth, the place was drenched. Nice way to spend a holiday.

Mish told me that only a few people would come, and the only other girl there would be me. So I thought maybe I could ask Jane to come along, but...she decided not to come. Denise was invited, but had to complete a project at her friend's house.

I thought I wouldn't meet them there because I was very damn late (I arrived around 2.45). But luckily I saw three of them at the void deck talking: Mish, JK and Chev. So they talked about school, comparing old teachers to young teachers about underdeveloped bodies and boobs (so far as I heard it) and the main topic: height. Looks like JK grew taller over the few months, Mish was telling me that he was now taller than her.

JK had to leave after a while, so the three of us was left there. Mish suggested we go to Chev's house and hijack his PS2 to play Battle Assault 3. The game's OK. I only went for 3 rounds to get the hang of things (all the while being pwned by Mish), then watched Mish being pwned by Chev, then Mish playing a mission. She tried to get me to battle the CPU, but me being the wimp I am, refused.

It started raining heavily again when we left. I missed taking the 73 home. I still wonder whether I have it in me, the ability to identify the 73 when it comes round the corner. Back in the P4-6 days, I could easily tell.

It sometimes feels so nice to be back in your memories.

I feel like I'm always pissed off these few days.

Yesterday, I was pissed off because of the delay in the arrival of my spectacles. I was angry today when Comp Studs started late 'cos the teacher was deaf and had temporary amnesia on how to use a watch. Then, I had to rush to finish up my Malay compo, which only had a few lines left to write but the bell had rung.

At class, while I was attempting to finish my compo and catch the bus back home, I was hunched over my desk writing furiously with my bag on my back. And here comes along Mar and Rebekah, talking about who the heck knows, and out of the blue someone goes and kicks my bag. I turn around, and it's Rebekah. She says something like she thought it was someone else or something, so I turn back to my work without saying a word. And then she goes and kicks my bag again. That's it. I'm at the end of my tether. So I grab my papers and pen, shout something about having to finish my work and DIE (I said that loudest), and leave the room.

I don't know Rebekah personally, but what have I done to her to make her treat me this way? She whacks me hard on the head, kicked me once when it was actually Maryam's doing, and now kicks my bag twice. Lousy excuse of a squadmate I have. If she's the one I have to trust to get my ass off the battlefield, I'll take my chances with the enemy, thank you SO VERY GODDAMN much.

I fell asleep on the 980 as usual, standing up near the door. Was woken up by one of those bus inspectors. Nearby, two unknown RGS girls giggled. I felt embarrassed and angry. What right do they have to laugh at others! I contemplated getting off at the next stop and catching another bus. I never thought about it long - I fell asleep again soon after that.

I'm getting my new specs now. Thank God.

2.4km run tomorrow. DAMN IT, I HAVE TO GET AT LEAST A GODDAMN C ON THIS! OR I'LL LOSE MY HARDEARNED GOLD!

I am in Computer Studies. The teacher made us wait outside because he didn't hear the bell and thus had to wrap up with his class inside. Dude, they do not make watches only for show. Whaddya think the little numbers and hands were for?!

I didn't get my new specs yesterday night. Because of some little fluke, my specs weren't at the shop. GODDAMNIT I WAS WAITING FOR FOUR BLOODY DAYS FOR MY NEW SPECS, AND WHAT? IT'S NOT THERE?!

The shop owner contacted someone about the specs. Dunno what he said, but today he said he would contact my mom. And all the while, I was playing a scene out in my head.

Grab the phone from the guy. Yell loudly into the phone, "HEY YOU! WHERE THE F**K ARE MY SPECS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOUR DAYS FOR MY F**KING SPECS! BETTER GIVE ME THE F**KING SPECS NOW OR I'LL WRING YOUR F**KING NECK!"

Yes, I still do have a problem with anger management. Deal with it.

Oookay...better take down my Comp Studs project stuff first...

NCC Air today...was...SLACK!

Airhead taught us how to handle a rifle, which I must say is supercool. The problem with my handling of the rifle is that my arms are too short/small to grasp the rifle properly. Add that to the fact that the real rifle is way heavier than its wooden replica. My knees would probably buckle.

Nonetheless, I am still hyped up about our shooting trip, yeah? I think we're using real bullets. Hoohoo! You could just aim for anyone and shoot, blam! Down goes the person.

After we learnt how to handle a rifle, and roughly an hour of drills (felt like less), Airhead allowed us to play Captain's Ball. At that same moment, our CLT came. Her name's Feline Koh, but we're to call her Ma'm. She's got a unique name too, and she's from AJC.

So while Airhead talked to our CLT, we played Captain's Ball. Then when we got bored of it, some people played netball, shooting goals and tossing the ball to each other. Some played Murderer, and others just fooled around.

At 5.15 we were released. Thank goodness! But it was fun. The CLT told us to bring our No.3 uniform next week. Wahey! I LUFF <3 MY NO.3 UNIFORM!

242nd post...palidromic...

I went to make my new specs yesterday. As Maryam said, I'd look better in rectangular spectacles. So I tried on this pair of blue ones, and it looked OK. The optometrist recommended this bright orange (looked red to me) pair, and it was quite outstanding against my face, but I decided on blue because it matched my school uniform, wasn't so outstanding and...my mom says she didn't like the pivot-type on the other pair.

It's gonna be finished by Tuesday night, so on Wednesday people will see me wearing my new blue. On that note, I also just cut my hair shorter yesterday. I prefer short hair to long hair or even shoulder-length hair.

Meh. Visited Mr Grosse's blog today, after a very long time not visiting. I didn't know that the old Rosythians still visited. Heh. Good for them. I don't see the new P6ers though...

I still have damn homework and PTs to do. Oh f-

241st post...

Election Day today.

My parents already went. I got to keep their election cards as souvenirs.

A PAP rally was being held yesterday at the hardcourt near my house. I thought I'd have a look, since I'd never seen a rally before. It was...I dunno...unexpected. I didn't know that a lot of people came to such rallies, because I thought that not many people think about politics.

People were waving decorated banners, and I saw a balloon with the words "Dr. Lim" on it and plastic pockets containing the letters "PAP" attached to the balloon. My sister told me she saw this sign proclaiming "Minister Khaw, we stand with you!" or something like that. They appeared to be supporting a rock concert, not a rally.

Went to Sun Plaza after a while, cos I definitely wasn't intending to stay at the rally til 10. Ate some ice kachang, then went home.

240th post...

Well, I managed not to crack a smile at all for one hour during the journey back home. Left my throat dry though, keeping my mouth shut.

Lightning was spectacular today. Wasn't raining, and barely any thunder though, but the lightning was something you'd rarely see. Too bad I only got one proper glimpse though, but boy was it...cool. One bright white jagged line downwards with a purple glow.

Meh. Changing my blogskin again. Some people complained that they couldn't read the font properly, unless they wanted to blind themselves by putting Brightness and Contrast full blast. There's a nice blogskin about Viola from Kiddy Grade, testing that maybe until I find one really nice one.

Getting confused over something...hmm...sigh, God help me please...

I am now in IT Club, surfing the Net while waiting for it to start as usual.

Someone in our group has changed the whole script. I am very sure Jaz doesn't like it. Thank goodness I am just the cameraperson. I don't even know what the script is all about. =.= A very blur cameraperson, yeah?

I wonder...

In my class, 112, there seem to be...I don't know how to describe it in one word...

People tell others, or write down, what they felt about this person. It's hateful, spiteful, angry. But yet, they seem to act very friendly with that person. Then I wonder, "Eh? Are they just hiding their feelings or...?". I suppose maybe they wrote or said such things out of anger, and usually, they don't hate that person that much. It's weird, to me, that is.

Posers. What a funny word. There's something just so funny about the spelling. P-O-S-E-R-S. As if they're halfway spelling "posies" and decided to spell something with "-ers" at the end, making it "pos-ers". I guess that's why I think it's funny. Posies, posers, posies, posers. A posy of posers.

Health checkup was today. A very simple checkup, consisting of an eye test and a backbone check. I'm all right though, with the exception that I have to change my specs. As usual. The last time I changed it was two years back. The worst time my eyesight worsened was P5 to P6, when my left eye turned from 6/12 to 6/60.

I have gotten sick of Gaia, especially after that Questing incident. No one donated, damn it...only Jaz donated 150g, part of the money she got for a commission drawing that costed OMG 10k g. I GIVE UP! I'm better off on my own.

5.03 pm.

The chat with Chet is over. It was pretty boring, and I ended up nearly falling asleep. At least not like someone who did actually fall asleep behind me. Now the second part of the lesson: iMovie, which I have already learnt in P5. It's damn easy, I guess,but in IT Club you have to do the tougher stuff. Meh...

Tomorrow is NAPFA test. Damn it. I'm OK for my sit-ups and my shuttle run and my sit-and-reach and my standing broad jump, but my pull-ups are worse than last year. Last year I could do 14, now I can do only 8. Gotta get at least 10 to get a gold! Must improve on my 2.4km too.

Post later.

238th post...

I am now in Computer Studies as usual on a Wednesday.

Due to the fact that Monday was a public holiday, NCC Air is now postponed to today. Of all days. DAMN!

Mrs Ng is away on MC, so...that leaves the Airhead Mr Chia to train us. Shit...I wish that he had some urgent meeting or had EOI, like Jaz's GB teacher. You must be wondering why I'm so disrespectful towards Mr Chia by calling him an Airhead?

It is correct after all. He is the Head of Air, thus he is the Air Head. Celeste came up with that. =3 Hahahahaha....AIRHEAD!

I slept late last night due to Teesh's incessant pleading. She still had her Chinese book review to do, and seeing as I was the only one awake, she pleaded with me to stay up longer so she wouldn't feel lonely.

So the result is...half-Crack Mode and half-CONK. That usually sometimes happens. But mostly it's Crack Mode because I read fanfics late last night. ;-) Got addicted to a new pairing. =3

Some kind of instrumental music is coming out of someone's computer. I HATE THAT! It's repetitive, over and over again...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...no offence, though.

Free time. Gonna stuff myself with blogging and fanfics throughout the whole lesson.

Philo was kinda slack, because Mrs Ng wasn't there, so I just researched for a while and read fanfics as usual.

237th post...

I haven't been posting properly in...days, I think. Maybe a week.

Well, yesterday I had just clocked in 2 hrs 45 mins of sleep after doing my homework and reading fanfics in between.

Note to self: Reading fanfics before bed will make you hyper the next day.

So there I was today, acting like I was on crack. For some reason, my mouth refused to frown like it usually did. Instead, little giggles attempted to escape my mouth. Like now. *ahahahahaha-smorft*

I find that if I get less sleep, I go two ways: Crack Mode or CONK. Usually it's Crack Mode.

Today, Mrs M told us about her trip to the ISD. They actually told her about a form of communication the KGB (Russian spies) use. They'd paste this sticker on lamp posts. A different position means a different thing. Sometimes, there would even be a dot on the sticker, which in fact is a micromessage: a message so small that it fit in that dot.

She also said that during the tour, she was told that only a few metres away were where the JI detainees were kept! Gosh, that's pretty scary to know! She also told us of this one person who would always wait at the old Cathay every Sunday at 2.30pm for 2 months to wait for a contact. Finally, the contact came and told him the next meeting place, of which he would have to wait another 3 months.

Even before you go for the interview to apply for a job there, the ISD officers will have been observing you way before. They can tell you what time you were at what place, with whom you were with, what you were wearing, where you stood, what you ate or drank...so on and so forth. Damn observant man. Any more observant and they can tell you what underwear you're wearing and what brand it is.

My class has set up a class forum at . It's pretty blank at the moment, since not many has signed up yet. Yeah well.

End of proper post.

236th post...May Day aka Labour Day

I thought this looked interesting, so I snagged it off Mish's blog. ^^ I used Winamp and my Japanese Songs folder. Listening to 20 songs...

Put your iTunes/Winamp/WMP on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

1. How does the world see you?
Hikari No Umi - Lumiere's Theme Song
(According to some online dictionary, Hikari is Light and Umi is Sea, so it's Sea of Light. I don't think of myself as some bright optimistic *git* person.)

2. Will I have a happy life?
You Gonna Feel (TV) - HAV
(Pretty vague. I guess that means I'll have to wait and see to feel how my life's gonna be like.)

3. What do my friends think of me?
Cloud Age Symphony - Shuntaro Okino
(The song is pretty upbeat, so I guess that means they think I'm...er...hyper. Which is untrue. But at the end, it's repetitive, so I guess that means I'm long-winded and tend to repeat myself.)

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
Precious Memories - Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
(*sweatdrops* People hold precious memories of me? Hopefully not to the extent of lust, thankfully.)

5. How can I make myself happy?
Reason - Nami Tamaki
(Huh? *looks blur* Reason with myself to be happy? Reason with other people to be happy? What's that supposed to mean?)

6. What should I do with my life?
Akatsuki No Kuruma - FictionJunction YUUKA
(Akatsuki is Dawn and Kuruma is car/wheel and some say carriage. So I should, what, go off in the dawn on a carriage/in a car? Sounds good to me. ^^)

7. Will I ever have children?
Over The Sky - Hitomi Kuroishi
(Over the sky...uh...hmmm...I don't get it.)

8. What is some good advice for me?
Anna Ni Issho Datta No Ni - See-saw
(According to Anime Lyrics, this means "We were so close together". So the advice to me is what, don't allow friends to drift away? Don't let the people you love drift away from you?)

9. How will I be remembered?
Shiki No Uta - MINMI
(Means "Song of Four Seasons". So I will be remembered for four seasons? Or forever, seeing as there are four seasons in a year anyway.)

10. What's my signature dancing song?
Lalala~Kuchibiru Ni Negai Wo Komete~ - Mahou No Stage Fancy Lala (Reiko Oomori)
(ANN says this means "Lalala~When You Wish Upon Your Lips~". This song is very upbeat, the singer has a child-like voice. Or is a child. =.=)

11. What's my current themesong?
It's Only The Fairy Tale - Miyamuro Yuuko
(I think everything is only a fairy tale?)

12. What do others think is my current themesong?
Lilium - Kumiko Noma
(Means "Lily" in some kind of language. I'm thinking Latin.)

13. What shall they play at my funeral?
Watashi To Warutsu Wo - Chihiro Onitsuka
(Means "Waltz With Me". They want the mourners to waltz with my dead body?!?! ... So who's first?)

14. What type of men do I like?
Northern Lights - Megumi Hayashibara
(The Northern Lights are Aurora Borealis. Can only be seen at night, colourful, and I assume mostly seen in the North. So, is that supposed to be the characteristics of men I like? ... )

15. How's my love life?
Little Wing - JAM Project feat. Masami Okui
(My love life, I suppose this means, is only starting? Cos it's little and I guess the wing means that...it'll, what, fly away? Or fly to greater heights?

I might do this again later to see how this differs. Just like Mish getting a reliable result by doing it twice. ^^ OK, I'll do it another time and see which one befits me better.

Trial 2

1. How does the world see you?
Unlimited - Nanase Aikawa
(Er...an unlimited source of *insertitemhere*? A person with no limits? Man, some songs are really vague.)

2. Will I have a happy life?
Precious Rose - Shindou Naomi
(Hmmm. Seeing as this is my favourite song, I think so. ^^)

3. What do my friends think of me?
Little Wing - JAM Project feat. Masami Okui
(Damn am I getting sick of this song. =.= Er, they think of me as a little (WHY, GOD, WHY? WHY AM I SHORT?!) fledgeling?)

4. Do people secretly lust after me?
Anna Ni Issho Datta No Ni - See-saw
(Not this again =.=" Uh...seeing as the title is "We were so close together" then they WERE secretly lusting after me and now they aren't. YAY! WOOHOO! DIE SELFISH FANTASIES!)

5. How can I make myself happy?
Akatsuki No Kuruma - FictionJunction YUUKA
(ARRRGH! WHY THE REPEATS! So I can make myself happy by running off at dawn in a car/carriage. Similar to the previous trial.)

6. What should I do with my life?
Rakuen no Tobira - Matantei Loki Ragnarok (YAMOTO)
(Door to Paradise. So I should achieve to open the Door to Paradise? But, doesn't Paradise come after you're dead? That is, after you go to Hell and repent for all your sins (mine must amount to a mountain)?)

7. Will I ever have children?
Over The Sky - Hitomi Kuroishi
(Ironically, this one doesn't change. So, I still don't get it.)

8. What is some good advice for me?
Future - Little Viking
(Er. This one is vague too. Either it means I have to strive for the future, or look forward to my future, prepare for my future, so on and so forth. Good advice? My foot. I was already following that advice long before this.)

9. How will I be remembered?
Itsumo Nando Demo - Sen to Chihiro No Kamikakushi (Yumi Kimura)
(At Animelyrics, means "Always, Numerous Times". I will be remembered always? Oh whee! <3 I wonder why though?)

10. What's my signature dancing song?
Fields Of Hope - Rie Tanaka
(Hmm. This song is a slow piece. Sigh, I'll bet that there's a lotta people who watch GSD and heard this, so you know what it's like.)

11. What's my current themesong?
Shiki No Uta - MINMI
(Song of Four Seasons. Uh. I don't get it.)

12. What do others think is my current themesong?
Mirai No Kioku - YUKA
(Animelyrics says this means Memories of the Future. How can you have memories of the future when you're not there yet? Maybe this means I'm confused.)

13. What shall they play at my funeral?
Find The Way - Nakashima Mika
(Haiii? Well, I gotta thank whoever played that. They're telling me to find the way to where? Heaven? Hell? So I don't get lost?

14. What type of men do I like?
Omokage - Megumi Hayashibara
(Referring to an online dictionary, it says that "Omokage" means "Face/Looks/Vestiges/Trace". Doesn't mean a thing, unless I take the first two meanings, which mean I like the type of men with looks and a good face. Hmm.)

15. How's my love life?
Northern Lights - Megumi Hayashibara
(Ai-ai-ai...why?? I don't get this one either.)

So which one befits me better? I don't know. You decide. *horror music*
