Since there is absoultely nothing to do and I am just bored out of my mind, I'm just gonna blog. (:

Had PRSP extra lessons yesterday from 9am to 11am, then I had lunch at mansa with LinXi, Val, Gerald, the three Mantous and Bell. We all wouldn't stop disturbing CS and bell, super fun. Hahaha... (:

Was broke 'cause of the stupid PRSP textbook so had to borrow some moola from Xiao Mantou. THANK YOU! (:

So now I owe him $3.50. Hahaha...

After that, we all went to the library and mooched for hours, just taking pics and generally having a ball of a time. Yup...

At about 2.30, when only Xiao Mantou, Val and me were left there, we departed. Val went to Tampines Interchange to meet Harris and Xiao Mantou and I went home. Made him walk to the bus stop with me, and he wouldn't stop "complaining", which was super entertaining. LoL (:

Two hours after reaching home, however, I realised I had a bloody fever! Like what the fudge man! So unexpected! So I was freezing, and swallowing hurt like mad 'cause of my sore throat. Fudge man... So yeah, slept at 9.30pm cause I couldn't stand the aches and the cold. Sleeping is just a waste of time man... ):

Woke up this morning and fever was gone, but the sore throat was WORSE! #$!#$@#%#@^!#^#^#%&@

Ah well...

Bored, dunno what to blog anymore...

Yawn...

Seemingly Perfect

She seems perfect
No matter how you look at her.
Perfect smile,
Perfect hair,
Perfect teeth.

She’s the apple of every boy’s eye,
The perfect daughter all parents want.
Good looks,
Good grades,
Good behavior.

She seems so pure and so innocent,
No cracks on the seemingly smooth glass.
No bad thoughts,
No lying,
No cheating.

But all this is an act of a girl who wishes that someone
Will see through the carefully crafted perfection.
Fake smiles,
Fake laughs,
Fake girl.

At night she sheds it all and behind closed doors
She unmasks her fake self to reveal the tortured soul.
She weeps,
She screams,
She pleads.

In the confines of her room, she removes the make-up
And reveals the eye bags formed over sleepless nights of studying.
The formulas,
The coffee,
The dull texts.

All the things she does,
The layers of make up and the nights of no sleep,
All to preserve the perfection she created.
Mornings applying mascara,
Afternoons perfecting,
Nights not sleeping.

If one pays attention
They can see that her eyes are hollow,
No emotion,
No light,
No life.

But how long will it take before one notices
That she’s not as perfect as she seems,
That she’s really just an empty shell
Walking with a porcelain mask of perfection on her face.

Will it be too late by then?
When people finally notice is when
She finally breaks under the pressure,
When the smooth china mask cracks
And the mascara runs onto the white surface…

Ok, first thing's first, a REALLY BIG HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY TO BENJAMIN NEO ZHI HUA!!!!! YEAH! (:

Been about a week since I typed a proper post, 'cause I was:
`ONE! Too lazy.
`TWO! Had boring average days.

So yeah... So let me try and recount the previous days... Hmmm...

Thursday was a normal average Thursday, if I remember correctly... Yeah, the only highlight was getting thrashed, once again, by Xiao Mantou in DJ Max 2. Grrrr... I WILL BEAT YOU ONE DAAAAAAAAAAY! YEAH! YOU CAN BET ON THAT MAN! (:

Friday was average too, except that I made... CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES! WOO HOO! (:

It took me like such a long time though, damn chocolates took like so long to harden till I realised I shouldn't have used so much Thickened Whipping Cream. Blah... Never mind, it was like my first time making it, so it was a really good try, ok? Hahaha... Anyways, lets the pictures and the captions do the talking for the entire process of making the Chocolate Truffles! (:

The Ingredients! CADBURY! (:


The big ol' bowl of cut up chocolates. xD


Scald the Thickened Whipping Cream!


It's now all melted! (:


END PRODUCT! :3


Alright, so I'm going to give it another few tries to perfect it, and I have the perfect guniea pig, Mr Donuts! A.K.A. SHAWN! Wahahaha! Ahem... Ok, moving on...

PMS3 was super fun! Rocked to the max man! YEAH! Took over 200 pictures, and yeah, that means a lot of uploading. Already uploaded half of it, the other half like maybe tomorrow night then upload. Muahahaha.... d:

Sunday basically sucked so won't talk about it.

Monday was worse so Rachel, just shut up. (:

Yesterday had dinner with the 3 Mantous and Xiao Long Bao. Went all the way to White Sands, bought that stupid bag of white washed potatoes and had dinner in the Kopitiam. Then bused 88 home with the Da Mantous. (:

This morning woke up at 5am to cook the stupid Hassel Potatoes which basically was a bloody waste of time since no one really ate it. Fudge, a bit pissed with that man... Wasted my time, sleep and money for nothing! Grrr....

After school, went to the Cyber Center to vote for IITC and TPSU.

VOTE FOR JOHN, GIDEON, CHRIS AND BRANDON!!!!!! =D

Ok, then after that dinnered with Phantos to celebrate Ben's birthday. (:


God, I thank you for bringing Phantos into my life 'cause it's people like them that really brighten up my life. (:

Ok, now with the really super negative. Kindly please ignore the blank spot if you don't want to read some profanities and serious rants. If you really want to know then you can highlight the blank spot to read it. (:

There's one really irritating asshole in my class that's seriously ticking me off with his freaky ways. I mean there's a certain extent to clinginess, but please, can you please stop fucking following me? IT'S SERIOUSLY TICKING ME OFF! Like back off, go away, SCRAM! BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY HATE BEING STARED AT AND FOLLOWED! Not only does it piss me off and make me feel uncomfortable, it also ACTUALLY AFFECTS me socializing with others! SO JUST FUCK OFF MAN!

When I wanna be alone, it's like you follow me, and when I pratically run away from you, you just don't take the bloody hint and just follow me. Like what the hell man, what the fuck is wrong with you?! When I want to hang with my two friends, just the three of us, you suddenly pull away from the people you were initially with and join us. So I had to once again join some other group of friends 'cause I just didn't want to deal with you. So many more examples, but typing them out will only piss me off.

Get the hint please, and GO AWAY! FAR FAR AWAY! WHERE I WILL NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!


Ok, rant over. (:

Any-hooooooo, time to get cracking on my Web Design and Computer Skills Tutorials, so I better get going.

Catch you guys on the flip side! (:

OK, TOODLES! (:

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Today it was both a good and a bad day with the day having a happy ending 'cause a certain Mr. Donuts cheered me up. Hahaha! (:

Hung out with the girls today, had loads of fun messing around with them. Yeah! (:

A little minor incident kinda saddened me in PRSP lab, but never mind, shan't relive that. Just have to remember that I should try not to talk to him much. Hmmm... Oh well, what's past shall remain in the past...

Was really bummed out that almost everyone had grouped themselves up for the CMSY project, but at least there's the two of them there. Yayness! (:

I really need to watch what I spend on, looks like I'll have to draw some money on Friday, YIKES! Ahhh!

Ok, blog post is over.

Today was a very blah, bland, boring day. Well not really. Hahaha...

After Com Systems lecture, instead of revising for my CMaths test, I battled Xiao Mantou in DJ Max2, and dammit, I kept LOSING!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

....

I think I'll pass my CMaths test anyways...

After that I walkedto the bus stop with Xiao Mantou, China Boy, G and D. We stopped by the bubble tea shop on the way and I got a strawberry ice blended. Super sweeeeet! (:

Came home, and played my DJ Max2.

And...

SHAWN! I BLAME YOU BECAUSE NOW I'M HIGH! RAAAAAAWR!!!!!! d:

Ok, nothing more to blog.

Bye bye! (:

First thing I wanna type is... I absolutely HATE my new keyboard! The keys are like all over the place, the end's like down there, the escape not where it was, so now it takes a longer time to type 'cause I have to take note of where the keys are. It's like a cramped laptop keyboard, but I suppose it's sorta good 'cause it'll let me practice for my new lappy! Hahaha... (:

Ok, anyways, I finished typing the script for Comm Skills and right now, at this very moment, Shawn's helping me proof-read it! So, yayness! (:

Hmmm, I finished doing the tutorials 1-4 so I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be for tomorrow's CMaths Test. Maybe I'll do the extra exercises tomorrow, IF I feel up to it.

I HATE THIS FUDGING KEYBOARD! GAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

Nothing much to blog anymore, so yeah....

Hmmm....

`Do up the stupid Draft for the CMSK Finland script
I'm supposed to writing the script for Comm Skills, or rather the first draft, but I feel so distracted by, well, nothing. Hahaha...

There are a few projects and assignments to be done, but I can't remember what they are... The only ones I CAN remember are for Comm Skills and the Web Design. Comm Skills project is like due next week and my group is like stuck at square ONE! Fudge sticks man, some group leader I turned out to be... God, I hate group work, thank goodness that this is the only project that requires group work, the others are individual. Yayness! (:

Web Design's final submission is like due 1-2 months away, but I better at least get started on the blog thingie so I have one less thing to do. Yup... Individual work is the love. :D

Which reminds me, I better buy that printer ink cartridge later, or else I'll have to ask others to help me print, which is something I don't really like to do 'cause it'll somehow make me feel indebted to them. Yup yup...

Let's see, yesterday was an alright Sunday, an average Sunday, yet somehow an awesome Sunday. (:

I'm kinda psyched 'cause I have a role in the upcoming large scale PC production. What am I, you ask? I'm gonna be acting as a Grandmama telling an old story to my grandchildren, and I'm also gonna be the narrator. Shan't reveal too much, if you wanna know more, just come to the play and see for ypurself! Hahaha... (:

Yesterday, Vinnie told me something which I really have to think about, so yeah... Hmmm...

I also read yesterday, so note to self, remember to keep hands folded at the abdomen area when walking up and down. (:

That's pretty much it, not going to blog about Saturday 'cause it was damn sucky. Yup...

Au revoir! (:

I deleted the post I just wrote 'cause I deem it too personal and because I'm not quite ready to expose those thoughts.

Peace (:

Saturday, May 17, 2008

I'm tired and sleepy. I can't wait to finish this post and drag myself to bed. I know, I know, if I'm tired, I should just go to bed, right? But I just have to blog, or else later I'll have accumulated even more days to blog about, so I might as well blog now.

Yesterday I had a regular average day, the only highlight was Visual Literacy. The thing about me is after I completed my piece, I just saw nothing but flaws, like the focal was all wrong, the shading sucked and the fudging hand was too small to me, but after a while, the piece started to grow on me. So yeah... C.C. and Kp said it looked all emo-goth-like. Hahaha... I'm a closet emo, just so you know. (:



Yup, the above picture is my Visual Lit piece. Quite happy with the outcome, considering it's the first time I used a marker to do a proper work of cross-hatch shading. I gave it a 68/100 for the personal score/rating question in the reflection journal. ANYONE WHO DARES TO RIP MY PICTURE WILL BE DISMEMBERED! (:

Today was CCN Day, don't ask me what CCN is 'cause I have no clue at all. Hahaha...

We sold like one can drink for 80 cents and 1 snack for 40 cents. The PS2 was so called "rented" out for $2.50 for 5 minutes of gameplay, including a can drink and a snack. Altogether we made quite a tidy sum of a profit, so go figure. (:

Bumped into ShuHan, Desmond and YaPing. From there I decided to skip CCA. I know, it's bad but I couldn't help it, heh... So instead of going for CCA, I went to have dinner with ShuHan, Desmond and Jay. After cam-whoring for a bit, we went to KFC for dinner. Took alot of really nice pics. Check'em out! (:

OH! I met Sophia! She's this girl that I've never seen for like 5 years? Yeah... I actually managed to recognize her, she however, didn't. But after I took off my glasses, she remembered me. Hahaha... Riiight...

By the time I departed from dinner, it was 10pm, so I went to the bus stop and bumped into more people. What's with me and bumping into so many people? Hahaha... Anways, I saw Dol, Chris and ChangYong there. Took the same bus as Chris and his friend. LoL...

Hmmm... Just now I did a "Get to Know Yourself Better" Quiz, and the following is the result, though there are one or two points that I SERIOUSLY don't agree with. I'll mark the ones I don't agree with with "X's". Hahaha... (:

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love: [X]
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
Yup... I feel like damn tired, so I'm gonna troop off to bed in a moment's time. So...

Pleasant Dreams! (:

I'm sleepy for some reason, feeling very tired, eyes drooping.

I'm dying in PRSP Lab. I'm sick of PRSP Lab at the moment. Sleep is what I need, I'm sleep deprived!!!! ):

Even though I slept pretty early. (12.30am)

I like DJMax 2 now, 'cause I finally, sorta got a hang of it. Yay me? (:

But I got trashed by Darren. Bleah...

I need to ponder more about that, though it's sorta fading. Hmmm... Think think think...

Ok, feeling more awake now. (:

Alot of things to do later during my break, need to print my research and photocopy my CMSK notes, not to mention have lunch! Yikers! x.x"

Hmmmm, I think lesson's gonna end reeaaaaaaal sooooooooooooooooooon....

Ok, leaving in a minute 'cause the teacher's gotta mark attendance first.

Yawn much...

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Mango Juice with Nata de Coco is my one sweet addiction. Hahaha... (:

Yesterday was one of the most fun days I had with my class friends. Instead of sticking to just one group of friends, I mixed with others and had an absolute blast! Looks like it's goodbye to being a sulky-isolated-emo and hello to a new beginning. (:

Kept messing around and stealing Harris' cap, singing with Val, chatting with C.C. and KP, basically being a kid and goofing off with all of them. I finally understand how it feels to truly bond with classmates and be accepted by them for who I am. (:

Yesterday the computer acted up again, so irritating... Gah! But mummy fixed it so, YAY! (:

I like punctuating my entries with lots of smiley emoticons 'cause it shows how happy I am. (:

Hahaha....

Today was an ok day too, mixed around even more, mix mix, chat chat, fun fun. (:

Darren uploaded DJMax 2 into my PSP during our break, really appreciate that a lot man. However, I'm like damn noob with it. Hand eye coordination sucks like hell please. (:

Had a Phantos dinner tonight, it wasn't as fun as the past ones, but it was still alright. Maybe because there were very few people there. Hmmm...

Note to self, kick Mr. Ladies Man the next time I see him. (:

Ok, I'm tired, so I'm gonna read the Newpaper, play DJMax then go to bed, so...

Oyasuminasai! (:

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Been 3 days since I blogged, so let's have a look-see at my past 4 days, shall we? Hmmm...

I failed the Squash trial, no surprise there... Failed it by 36 seconds! So irritating! Gaaaaah!!!!! There's supposed to be a re-trial on Tuesday, but I REALLY don't think that I stand a chance of passing it, so yeah... Hmmm...

On the other hand, I got the message that I got through the Dramatec auditions, so, yay me? Got it after I finished failing the test, and I was like damn surprised 'cause I really didn't think I'd get through. Hahaha... Yup... (:

I had a CMaths Make-up Lecture on Friday at 11am, which was sorta irritating because after that I had no more lessons, BUT I did have my first Drama session at 6 IN THE EVENING! So i went home, mooched a bit before going out again.

The first Drama session was interesting, fun and informative Drama games. Loved it! (:

Saturday was a drag with the only highlight being me organizing a Phantos Dinner on Tuesday.

PHANTOS! It's because of you that I love school and all it's odd aspects! Yeah! (:

I really need to brush up on my english, it's really going down the drain, yuckers...

Now, I'll blog about TODAY! (:

Sundays are always fun because of all the crazy friends there. HOWEVER! If someone were to ever ask me who was crazier, Phantos, or my lovely Church friends, I'd defintely have to say...

........

Ok, I have no clue 'cause both are JUST as crazy! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! xD

Alright, so I was supposed to help sell carnations outside Church with my fellow lectors at 11am mass, but then I had PC meeting, which to me is a higher priority since I didn't attend PC meeting in 2 weeks. Yup...

I LOVE PERSONA CHRISTI AND LECTORS! (:

So anyways, I played Dai-Di (Big Two) with Glen, Gabriel, Gail and Eugene after PC meeting. The wager? A hug from Eugene, Glen or Gabriel! LOL! But sadly, I only won one round in all ten (?) rounds. My gosh, I REALLY need to brush up on strategising for card games such as these, yeah...

And speaking of which, I also have to keep a tighter grip on my temper, it's sorta getting out of hand lately... Hmmm...

That's kinda about it for the past few days, sadly dull, but oh so true...

I'm putting off that countdown, not so sure I wanna do it anymore 'cause I need more time to think about it... Yeah...

Toodles. (:

Freedom
Like a piece of paper,
I'll tear my past into pieces
And blow them into the horizon
So that all the memories,
The good and the bad,
Will be forgotten.

I'll start afresh,
Dip my quill in bold black ink
And start a new story,
On a fresh clean slate,
Because it's my life,
And I'm going to live it the way I want to.

The sky's the limit,
They've always said,
But I believe that our true limit
Is even beyond the clouds,
Past the stars and the galactic milky way.

There is no limit,
No boundary to hold me back no more,
The past will remain in the past,
I will forget that all.

So now,
Like a sutra I will chant to myself,
Run from the past,
Chase the present
And soar with the future...

Goodbye my past, I don't need you or your haunting shadows no more...

Wednesday, May 7, 2008

I'm pissed. Full stop.
Ouch... My legs are aching from yesterday's squash training. In the morning it felt alright, but then after sitting in 2 straight hours of lecture, when I stood up it was like, oh my fudge! Pain, ouch, GAH! So yeah... And tomorrow I have another squash trial/training. Oh woe is me... And tomorrow is when they'll start cutting people off, AND they're making their decisions based on PHYSICAL, and NOT strokes! Farewell Squash, it was nice while it lasted. But nevermind, I shall give it my all anyways. FIGHT! (:

Anyways, I forgot to mention, I'm currently in PRSP Lab, again. Hahaha... 3 hours with the same teacher. Sweet...

Ouchies, my legs...

Last night, before that er, emo blog post, I was playing Online Go Back Jump, super funny and so much easier than reality. But doing it in real life is so much more fun. WHACK AH! (:

Post the screen shots of it later...

I'm thinking of changing my blog skins 'cause at the moment, it looks so... Blah... Maybe I'll use my old blogskin code and create a new skin... Hmmm.... It's a thought. But it's not gonna be very well... Nevermind. Hahaha...

Ok... "Heart of Worship" suddenly flitted through my mind... Oddness much...

I'm getting bored of Alice, and I'm getting SICK of hearing the same bloody strums of the guitar from Alice! RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to change my spectacle lenses, I'm going blind... Ah... I WANT CONTACTS! Santa, please grant my wish. (:

Today's the day that we're supposed to find out if we made it through the Dramatec auditions. Hopefully I'll get in, despite me having had screwed up my audition.

Fudge sticks! Can they stop the bloody sound! It's getting seriously annoying! ):

Nothing much to blog about now, so I'm going to stone now, unless I'm somehow killed by the irritating strums of the "Beetles"...
Today I had an emo day, before going crazy-hyper, the usual stuff.

Sometimes, I really DO hate myself because I can be such a hypocrite.

Nothing much to blog, feeling sorta down in the dumps at the moment,feeling moodless. I feel like my bloody heart's like a frigging pendulum.

Just shoot me and get it over with, let my heart beat no more.

Gawd, don't you just love teenage angst? 'cause I sure as fuck don't.

Countdown(s):
`14 days and counting till I do that...

I hate this moodlessness of mine...

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

Ah, I forgot about one issue that I wanted to blog about yesterday!

I was watching this show on MTV called True Life: I'm on a Diet. It's about these 3 people (1 boy and 2 girls) who want to lose weight, but from what I gather, their still not happy about life despite it all because their obsession destroys their own happiness and affects the people around them, except for perhaps girl number one.

Girl number one wanted to lose weight for the sake of her health and at first, it was tough for her, but she persevered and ended up attaining her first goal, but not her second. But overall, she was a happier person.

Girl number two, on the other hand, was really obsessed about her goal, and that was to win at least one title in a beauty pageant and so she decided to take the easy way out, which was crash dieting. The only other thing she ate in those 2-3 months(?) was cottage cheese and nothing else. Throughout her diet, she actually tried to make her mother not to eat since she herself couldn't, which is really not a very nice thing to do because like hello? She is your mother, who are you to order her around? Her manager(?) could see, during the pageant, that she had lost lots of weight, but knew that it would have bad reactions to her health. Later, after she won a title, she went to pig out for that one night before she announced that she was going back to crash dieting the next day. How sad is that?

The guy was always obsessed about his weight and this actually broke down his family relationship. Even on his day off from dieting, he was still making sure that he was eating healthy, which meant only eating vegetables.

Overall, the boy and girl two never seemed to be truly happy, never seemed to enjoy life and it's moments because of their obsessed need to lose weight and control their eating. It is from this show that I deduce that no matter who we are, no matter how we look like, we should be happy with who we are or run the risk of never being truly happy. If this blog post doesn't make sense or contradicts with your own personal belief then I have nothing to say. (:

AND I believe that pageants should be banned/stopped because it's sexist and degrades women, it also lowers the self esteem of women.

Amen (:

Monday, May 5, 2008

I'm done uploading ALL the pictures from last Tuesday's outing after like 2 hours plus... GAH! But I guess it was worth it. (:

3 more outings worth of photos left... Bleah!

Anyways, I said that I would blog about yesterday's day, so I will!

I decided to go to Vivo City instead of PC meeting to get some stuff from Candy Empire for my mortal and the four immersion girls in Lectors, which kind of made me broke. Oh well... I got 4 Rittersport Chocolates (Nougat, Biscuit, Strawberry and White Choc Nut flavors) and 2 packets of Starburst gummys. None for me though! 'Cause no more money! Hahaha!

Then whooshed back to church to for Lectors, we played Werewolf. I ended up as Cupid so guess who I paired up? None other than Sebastian and Matthias! Hahaha, DAMN funny man! :D

After meeting, went to Auntie Dot's house. The usual gang was there, though Godpa, Shawn and Stephanie left after i was there for like 30 minutes. Anyways, we all watched this British show called "Mind Your Language", and it was like super uber funny! Loved the part where Danielle had a new rival called Ingrid. Battle of the babes much? Hahaha...

After Dinner, which was homemade Chicken Rice, we all mooched a bit before we all departed for home.

OK! That was Sunday! NOW, for MONDAY! Which is today. Haha...

Was lazy to go draw money for mum in the morning, so decided to go after school. Yeah... Lessons were pretty alright, must remember to get that APEL textbook though whilst it's still at half price. Yup... After lessons, I bumped into some Phantosians. (Namely Ben, Shawn, Rashid, Wan and ShuHan) and had dinner with them which turned out to be a good move 'cause that made the traffic on the way home lighter due to the time. So from now on, if ever I end at 6pm, I'll stick around till 7pm! Yeah! (:

Oh, right, I broke my "No Hugging for a Week" Resolution. HAHAHA! So, now that I know that it's too embedded in me, I'm just gonna hug in moderation. (:

Nothing else to update on, so...

Ja ne!

Countdown(s):
`15 days and counting. My courage is definitely wavering, so I'm 55% sure that I'll do it... Jiayou Rachel! (:
Right-o! I didn't blog about yesterday, but I don't think I'll have the time to do it right now considering the fact that I'm currently in Web Design Lab having lessons. So I'll do it tonight, IF i survive the stupid traffic jams that I'll experience. Bleah... ):

There's currently nothing to do since I've already finished with the exercise that she assigned us so here I am, shaking legs and blogging. Bah...

Speaking of blogs, I have to remember to start on the WDS Project Blog thingie. Urgh... Projects... At least it's individual, I absolutely abhor group work, or maybe it's because I never had a good experience with group work... Hmmm...

Peter Piper

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
A peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper,
Where's the peck of pickled pepper Peter Piper picked?



I still love and remember this tongue twister. Heh...

I'm starving...! My last meal was at 9am! I overestimated myself, I thought that my breakfast was enough to last me for the day. Grrr...

I MUST SAVE MONEY!!!!!

"Planning is very important." That's what my teacher said about CSS Web Designing. We just learnt how to do CSS Styles, External and Internal CSS and stuff... Looks like our teacher's not gonna be here for the next few weeks, sad... Lectures are important! That's what she just said! Haha... Right... Ok, lesson's over.

Toodles! (:

Squash training is tough at the moment since I've never been in a Sports CCA since Primary 6 so congratulation Rachel! 2-3 months of it! Can you survive? Hopefully, I can. Hahaha...

Let's see, we had 2.4km run first and I practically died out there in that blazing sun. Bah! Then we had "The Torture Chamber". It consisted of 15 star jumps, 15 sit ups, 15 push ups, 15 bend hops(?) and 20 laps of suicide run. After a 3 minute rest, we did them AGAIN! AAAAHHHhhhh...

Ok, so got home after that, bathed and rested. Took a one hour nap before getting ready for the Phantos Dinner in... HOUGANG! Meeting point was like 10 minutes away from home. Hahaha... Yay me!

So went over, met moody Shawn and sorta stoned Ben, but they got lively after several Oom Oom Chucky and Go Back Jumps. Shawn was our Shi Fu for Sa! Haha... Then Yanti came, followed by Anthony, the organizer of the outing/dinner, and Clarence, then we were off to Hougang Mall! We got a Munchy Donut each there too, which reminds me! I have to pay back Anthony! Oops... Remember, $1.30! (:

Then we sat infront of Hougang Post(?) Branch and ate our donuts and hey ho! Before long, Denise, Joana and Reuben made their appearance! So we went to LJS for dinner since Pepper Lunch was too crowded and wasn't Halal. When we were there, the others started teasing Yanti about "Hia"? LoL... We occupied like 3 tables since there were eleven of us. I table hopped later, for reasons not gonna be stated here, to sit with Ben and Yanti. Heh... Dolly, Ryan and Lester joined us later in LJS too. Definitely a case of the more the merrier. (:


We messed around in the arcade after that and I absolutely CANNOT play Table/Air Hockey. GAH! Not even one goal. Bleah... Cindy joined us in the arcade later too! Yay! After spending one hour in the arcade, we went out and some bought dessert at McDonalds and then I took a tonne of photos outside. Hee...

I took like about 100 pictures from the outing, so later I'm kinda uploading them all in http://Phantos-Peek.blogspot.com/ since I cannot upload in PhotoBucket. Why my computer?! Why has thou forsaken me???? Boo hoo...

So yeah, that's it for yesterday's funnerific Saturday!

Now it's Sunday, which means I have Persona Christi and Lectors meeting later. It's the last week of Immersion and I know I messed up with the Angel Mortal thing. Oh my dear fudge, Trudy's gonna kill me... After all that, I have to rush over to Auntie Dot's house for another fun(?) family gathering.

Note to Self:Must remember to bring my cards. (:

So yeah, that's it about yesterday and my agendas for today. AND I must remember, cannot hug anyone for a week! I may not survive though. Hahaha...

Au Revoir for now! (:

Countdowns:
`6 days before I can hug again. ):
`16 days and counting. Still not sure if I'll have the guts to do it by then. ):

Friday, May 2, 2008

Friday's can be dull when you have nothing to do, and your only companion is the computer. Ah well, there's nothing I can do about it so I'll just make the best of it. (:

I have Dramatec auditions later and tomorrow morning, I have Squash Trial/Training.

I'm not quite sure if I'll make it through the auditions, but I'll try my best anyways, fingers crossed!

Went to Plaza Sing with mum yesterday evening to get my thumb drive and watch Iron Man. The show is really good, graphics are good, plot's ok, and the acting was almost convincing. A definite 8/10 from me! :D

Most people may think it odd, but I guess you can say that I have two diaries? One blog, which is of course this one, and a real journal. Casual thoughts and events are typed here and the more personal stuff is written in the journal. Wrote my first entry yesterday, which is long overdue considering the fact that I bought the book in late March? Hahaha...

Was surfing the web earlier, and I suddenly remembered a cute song by Mandy Moore. It's called Stupid Cupid and I REALLY like it. Haha... (:

Stupid Cupid
By Mandy Moore

Stupid Cupid
You're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings
So you can't fly
I am in love and it's a crying shame
And I know that you're the one to blame

Hey hey
Set me free
Stupid Cupid
Stop picking on me

I can't do my homework
And I can't think straight
I meet him every morning
At 'bout half-past eight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carrying his books to school

Hey hey
Set me free
Stupid Cupid
Stop picking on me

You messed me up for good
Right from the very start
Hey, go play Robin Hood
With somebody else's heart

You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what your puttin' down
Well since I kissed his loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is
That I like it fine

Hey hey
Set me free
Stupid Cupid
Stop picking on me

You got me jumping like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what your puttin' down
Well since I kissed his loving lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is
That I like it fine

Hey hey
Set me free
Stupid Cupid
Stop picking on me

Hey hey
Set me free
Stupid Cupid
Stop picking on me

Stupid Cupid


Hmmm... If what I signed up for is REALLY a talent showcase, I'm going to be singing Love Me, originally sung by Collin Raye. Audition's supposed to be in 2-3 weeks so let's hope I'm good enough to get through, eh? Got my fingers and toes crossed! (:

That's it for now, so maybe later I'll post about how the auditions went. Toodles! :D

Note to Self: Countdown starts NOW! 18 days and counting. Let's see if I do have the guts to do it. (:
