OK! admit it! my chatterbox is boring! tt's y nobody toks in it!!!!!

hhaa... kidding... i admit, i've hardly done anything to make it more interesting... hehe....

anyway, tt's not wat i wanted to blog in here... well, it was, but tt's not e main point. frankly, now tt i'm here, i'm not sure wat my main point is...

oh well... mebbe jus to say tt i finally found this spurt of motivation to do my revisions... i wonder if this spurt will disappear together with the morrow. well... just came back from econ tuition, and i got to thinking tt if i dun have more organisation in my life anytime soon, my messed up notes and stuff will take on a symbol of my future a level results- messy. yep. u should take a look at my shelves. on the surface, everything looks fine and dandy. take out all the files, and u'll be hit by an avalanche of papers. yes, papers. loose papers, to be exact. hahahhahahahahahahahha.... oh man.... tt sux... i have to get my life back in order.... preferably sometime this year.... SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HELP!!! haha... kidding...
guess this kinda thing is only up to me...

oh well... haven manaaged to get hold of hilda mak for the past THREE DAYS!! WHY?!?!?!??! she's like so elusive! just like e quote in the poem today "She leaves just as i enter" haha... my CIP hours are not approved yet!! goodness!!!

i realised tt i'm v long-winded, and i dun keep to answering questions to the point (oh FINE... i didn JUST realise... i realised it long ago.... bleah) gotta try to be as concise as possible, and try not to use useless redundant words to crowd my essay. RITE. Let's just see me try tt....  i must try.... otherwise how the heck am i gonna get my A? i'm NOT gonna waste money on tuition just ending up getting a C. NONONONONO. No Sirreeee...

hahaa... its late now, gtg.... feels like i'm on adrenaline... well, let's hope the chicken soup i just drank will help me sleep.... nite....

"If only wishes could be dreams
And all my dreams could come true..."
----------let me get all my As rite now... without studying.....
 
"Mirror Mirror i wish u could lie to me...."
----------tell me it's sat tml...
 
"Mirror Mirror lie to me
Show me wat i wanna see....."
----------All As in my result slip.....

oh yah, and how come the chatterbox hasn been active for so long? am i tt boring? hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha
it's been a rather event early week, with mon first starting off with dinner out with my relatives, and me entertaining or babysitting my niece.... shant tell u i think she's a brat... oops! i just did ;) anyway, alvin, alan, laura, u all get my drift...  i shant oso tell u how hard it was just to have a normal conversation without her interrupting every few min trying to get my attention with some anecdote she thinks will brighten up my oh-so-dull life, such as, "AOR!!! Sun Ho is my teacher! really!" -_-" OH WOW! REEEEALLLY?! and here dumb old me was thinking she was a singer! *slaps head* ... anyway... i think i better shut up bout her.... though its like, i can't help it i tell u, she's so domineering and so attention seeking, and she's a liar.... do u know, she took my hp and REFUSED to return it to me!? she made phonecalls using my phone, and when questioned, she lied about it and DARED to laugh at me for accusing her!!!

ok, on to the next day, before u all start thinking i'm some nutcase who hates little children. i dun, u know, just for the record. i like children. i used to like her until she terrorised my sisters and me. yes.

ok, i guess u all have heard of xian liang's death by now. he died the day before. i wanted to blog here yesterday, but after coming back from his wake, i had to go finish off my hw... hee... paiseh... anyway, i still think it's a shock to know tt someone i know- or used to know has passed away. i know i didn really know him very well, but we've like, known each other since pri sch... guess there's some kind of familiarity, no matter how little? it was kinda surreal to go to his wake and look down at his coffin and think, "i knew this guy. he was smart and somewhat of an all-rounder. we were in the same class before. he? gone? " it was also kinda weird looking at his coffin, reading "Mr Goh Xian Liang. Departed: 26/7/04. Age: 18 years old" it all sounded so final. he looked peaceful, and i guess the makeup artist who made him up did a good job, though there was a certain waxiness about him... he looked like one of those wax figures.... it's sad, u know, like, i suddenly realised how fragile life is. i used to think tt with our mind, we could defeat anything. now, i think when one's life comes to an end, nobody can defeat it.

i wonder if mrs sim knows bout this... should i try to contact her? guess i should rite? but based on how fast news travels, i would think she knows bout it now..

hopefully xian liang's at peace now...

WATEVER. i dun want to care how important treachery is central in the theme within A&C. I dun want to care how labour market works in the factor market. Neither do i want to care about the probability of the number of red balls that can be taken out of a bag with blue, green and yellow balls... hell... there arent even ANY red balls... WATEVER. however, if i want to be a successful product in this graduate factory called Singapore, i HAVE to care. if i want to survive in this dog eat dog world, i HAVE to care. i have to care wat the angle of elevation is between where i'm standing and the Pan Pacific Hotel. WOW!!! *claps hands sarcastically* honestly, do u think i even have to know tt?!

=Þ this gets on my nerves sometimes... no, make tt most of the time. i dun mind lit, or maths, or econ. but i mind tt my whole life just has to revolve around them for the next god knows how many weeks. acty, i know how many weeks it is, i just dun feel like putting it down. all the teachers are telling us to revise. WOW! WAT A REVELATION!!! and how are we supposed to do revision when we are supposed to come to sch everyday, and complete their hw and do the assigned group works?! I KNOW!! WE HAVE LIKE, 48 HOURS EVERYDAY!! WHERE OUT OF THEM, 36 HOURS ARE SPENT STUDYING!!! oh wow, tt's like, fantastic!!! -_-" watever. i guess i'm sounding darn bitchy now... yah yah... can't help it. have to let it out or else tml u all will see a mad yi ling. oh well, kinda hard to believe rite? well, i do try to control my emotions when i'm in sch... *smiles sweetly*
 
ok, i better go lose myself in antony's world again. frankly, i dun see how he can be seen as a tragic hero. as far as i can see, he deserved wat he got. he was the one who was so mule-headed bout fighting by sea. he chose to listen to Cleopatra in the first place instead of his lieutenants. the only tragic thing i see is tt he botched up his own suicide, only to find out tt Cleopatra had acty bluffed him about her death.
 
Oh wait! i think i get it... he's tragic coz he did all he did coz of Cleopatra. he loves her. oh well... guess this is wat they mean by love blinds a person to all reason. his love for her led to his downfall. sad ah? well..... guess from this play, there isn such thing as being a middle ground for being both pragmatic and romantic. something has to be given up. for Antony, it was his life and his empire. well... at least he reconciled himself at the end of the play, though it was only at the end of his life tt he did tt.... hmm... i guess i gained something by complaining here..... well.... bye.......

OK... today is the end of the week. FINALLY!!! haha... we had the inter- fac volleyball finals today, and guess what? we got second! haha... at first we didn really have much confidence in winning candice's team in the semis, but we did it! hee.. they put up a good fight, u know.... =) then after tt, we met science B in the finals... man, they are good, and i must say, we nvr expected to win them. we lost to  them 2-1 by the way, hehe... we gave them a run for their money man!!! =) we beat them 15-4 in the first set, then they won us 15-11 (i think) 15-13... come to think of it, it was a close fight, eh? hehe... oh well... second is not bad oso lar, and the finals was the best game we have had for the whole of the inter-fac vball tournament... there was real teamwork... =)

oh yah, EXCITING NEWS!!! haha, i won Borrowed Heaven by The Corrs on wed night! i messaged Power 98, telling the dj, "could i please please please have the cd by The Corrs? i love them but i haven had time to buy their cd coz i've been busy studying". guess wat? the dj called me back!!!!!! haha... only jas heard me though... haha... and i think i sounded so weird on the radio... my voice was so low! but then again, i was doing lit when the dj called, and it was at, like, 11+ and i was SOOOOOOOOO sleepy!! haha, so i guess it's natural tt i sounded sian sian on the phone. nevertheless,  i WON!! haha, listening to the cd now... it's great!! got 2 new cds this week... one by FIR, a fantastic one- my sis bought it at bugis village for $7!! haha... the song "Tarot Cards" and the piano version of "Lydia" are fantastic! acty, FIR is a great band... they dun have the usual elements of mandarin pop. it's more unique in the sense tt it doesn conform to the mould mandarin songs usually follow, which is why i rather like them. needless to say, the other cd is by THE CORRS!!! hahah.... wow, i'm starting to build up my collection of original cds... hehe.... but of course, i have to save money lar.... -_-"

anyway, i gtg if i plan to finish my hw anytime this weekend.... need to have time for revision somemore. seriously, i'm considering not going to sch like at least once a week after the whole syllabus has been finished, which is like, now..... but then, i dun exactly relish the thought of spending 3 hours in a polyclinic just for an mc... not really worth it. uh uh *shakes head* just imagine: in a day, we spend like 9 hours in sch. imagine if one day, we didn go to sch. we would prob wake up at 8am, which means there are 8 hours of sch left (assuming tt sch starts at 7..) then we have breakfast, until about maybe 9. then, probably procrastinate about the house, which takes mebbe  1/2hr? then get ready to see the doctor. the trip down prob takes another 1/2hr, which means tt by then we have 6 hours of sch left. we wait for the doctor, which, on a normal weekday, takes mebbe 3 hours? (ok, mebbe if we are lucky, an hour). tt leaves like 3 hours of sch left. ok, the 1/2 hour trip back home, further procrastination, oh yah, forgot lunch! altogether mebbe take up another 1 1/2 hours? ok, tt leaves another 1 1/2 hours to do wateva we took the mc for. now, tell me, is it worth it to forgo 9 hours of lectures and tuts to waste 7 1/2 hours preparing to do the thing as i have demonstrated?

of course, different ppl may have diff ways of doing things, and thus may criticise my breakdown of time. of course u are entitled to ur own breakdown of ur time! after all, ppl have different time managements... haha... but tt's how i perceive mcs... oh well.... looks like my plan to take mcs goes down the drain... now, if i could just convince the lazy part of me to believe tt.........

ah ha! i found my ring!! luckily williana left it with the clerk... i almost had a heart attack when i went to the lost and found section and saw the mess there. how the heck would i be able to find it?! anyway, i went thru the things, but surprise surprise! it wasn inside.. i was losing hope already, until tabbi reminded me tt major tham keeps the lost items that are valuable. so i asked him, but it wasnt with him. tt left only one more clerk. i was hoping and praying tt she had it with her. IT WAS!!! YAY!!! haha...

anyway, yesterday was the sea carnival. our class took part in the 'Make a Raft' competition. haha, it was fun! we ended up winning best design and third in the race. acty, the third prize was by luck, coz 2 of the rafts had either capsized or come apart before or during the race... hee... well, though we were slow, we were STABLE. no thanx to those who questioned the stability and function of our raft! =p haha... but thanx to all those who helped, which is like so many ppl... anyway, u know who u all are... those who attended e sea carnival to the end to support us... HURUL!! for ur fish burger, XUEFANG!! for ur raffia, JUN!! for helping us clear up after tt, WARDAH!! for also helping us clear up, and of course, THE REST for coming to support us. haha.. first time our class joined something as a class and we did it rite and well...=) oh yah, here's a trivia: the name of our raft was "Antony and Cleopatra's Love Boat", in memory of the poetic verses by Enobarbus... can't remember wat they were, but they were very luxurious and rich and full... haha... =) oh btw, tt was me lying on the fluorescent green float on the raft... hee... it was fun, come to think of it, but it's a pity that i didn have enough guts to take on the persona of Cleopatra... hahaha.... tt would have been a real treat, wouldn it? ;)

hello!!! haha... been away for a record of almost 10 days... oh well... been bz catching up with hw... and when i came back here, i realised blogger had acty made so many changes! now its more convenient and more fun to type in my entries! yay! i love technology. SOMETIMES.
 
there was one BLACK CLOUD in my sky today. i lost the ring i had been given jus 3 days ago! goodness! tt ring was worn by me when i was a baby ( i nvr realised tt), and it was returned to me last sat by my father, who said my grandmother had kept it for me, for fear tt i would put it in my mouth and swallow it. well, i guess the ring is not fated to be with me. today i wore it to sch, and guess wat WONDERFUL thing happened? the ring dropped from the string i put it thru. and u know wat the worst thing was?
 
  1. something had told me to take it off before pe. i refused to listen to tt voice
  2. after pe, i heard ppl asking who had lost a ring. i just checked to make sure the string was there. i didn even bother to pull the string out to check if the ring was still inside.

u know wat? i only found out after i had reached home and found the string lying on the floor. DAMN! i really almost cried. tt ring means so much to me. it's like a part of my past, and i just let it get lost so carelessly! wat the heck is wrong with me!?!?!?!?!

i found out tt a girl from S14 (Williana, from my spe class), had taken it. thanks to grace, xue fang, and lai yee, i was able to track who had taken the ring! thank u all of u! the ring was put in the lost and found counter in the general office. oh man... hopefully i find it still there tml... it has been there for a day... i do hope nobody noticed the ring and took it away... all my hopes are banked on the counter... if it isn there, i really dunno wat i'd do... the ring is v impt to me... dunno y oso, but i kinda feel something when i wear it... a kind of security i guess... dun ask me y... i dunno.... i dun usually wear jewellery to sch, and this was an exception, because of the feeling it gives me when i wear it... and now, look wat happened?! it does seem silly to wear gold to sch rite? esp for pe? i cant explain it myself... maybe u'll have to keep an open mind bout my reasons? its just something i cannot explain... mebbe i was tempting fate... *shrugs* 

ARGH!! now i just cant wait for tml when i can go to sch to really find out if it's still there... pray hard for me that i'll find it pls?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i need all the help i can get man....

let's hope tml will be a better day.... i promise not to be so stupid to wear the ring to school... if only i can find it.... will update u tml, just hopefully with good news. rite now, i have to go into battle with mcq for nov 2000. hope i win. today and tml........

haha... back again after 2 quiz results.. =p anyway, i just gotta tell u bout the buffet i went to yesterday.. oh omy GOSH! it's just sooooooo worth every cent of the 20 odd dollars we paid for it. it was an international buffet, at Sakura Restaurant at Downtown East. NTUC club members can get a 20% discount for one more person i think.. not v sure. anyway, back to the topic. its like the best buffet i've ever been to.

u know how other buffets are, there's only like how many kinds of beverages available, but not this. they have like 5-6 different kinds of drinks, the usual fast food drinks (u know, those in the dispensers in the fast food restaurants?), smoothies or frosties or slurpies (dunno wat u call em, but there were like 3 different flavours), and coffee (in a coffee maker) tea (green tea or english tea). there were so many kinds!!!

ok, on to food. there were so many kinds of japanese food- tempura, sashimi, sushi, and all of them were subdivided into SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many varieties. chi food had dim sum, fried rice, curry, fried noodles, veggie (the boring stuff, except the curry, which was duck and v nice). Dessert was FANTASTIC. so many cakes, and most were chocolate (my best friend!). there was jelly (but texture wasnt tt great), kuehs, bubor chacha. soups were shark's fin (dun like it, coz the thot of sharks being killed puts me off) and mushroom soup... am i making u drool? oh yah, and oysters, mussels and scallops and prawns and lobster and salads... the shellfish could be taken raw or baked... OH MY GOD!!! i'm just feeling sad now coz i didn get to eat all the food!!!!! ARGH!!!!!! everything was nice, though i think the oysters are... hmm... a little lacklustre as compared with the other shellfish. I WANT TO GO THERE AGAIN!!!! hahahaha.. had the best time last nite. we stayed there for 2 and a half hours, just eating and talking. oh yah, i forgot to add that there was teppanyaki!!!! there's an assortment of meat and veggie, then u can choose wat u want, and give to the chefs to fry!!! and one bonus is, IT'S HALAL!!! haha... saw a few muslims there, so i gatehred it is, and come to think of it, there werent any food with pork, so i guess it should be halal... was bz thinking of the food to see whether there was the halal sign... =)

hehe, guess i sound like a pig lah.. haha... but i dun mind going anywhere where there's nice food. as long as the food makes up for the surroundings, anywhere is fine. i once had laksa in penang at this roadside stall, and flies were flying around everywhere- on top of the noodles, ingredients, etc. however, the food made everything worthwhile... haha, and the fact that they soaked everything in boiling water made it a little better. hehe, overall, it was great. i wouldn mind going there again.... =)

if u have any good recommendations on food, pls tell me!!!!!!!!!! haha... guarantee u we will go the next weekend... hahaha... =)wat can i say? *shrugs* my family loves food... haha =)

ok... guess some ppl wanna kill me now, for talking so much bout food... hahah... better stop.. got alot of hw to do... so i guess i better go... byebye!
People like you becuase you're a sweetheart!

can u all see the lyrics? is there ANY WAY at all i can post up chinese words?!
当你
By : Cyndi Wang Xin Ling

如果有一天 我回到从前
回到最原始的我 你是否会觉得我不错

如果有一天 我离你遥远
不能再和你相约 你是否会发觉我已经说再见

当你的眼睛眯着笑 当你喝可乐当你找
我想对你好 你从来不知道 想你想你 也能成为嗜好

当你说今天的烦恼 当你说夜深你睡不着
我想对你说 却害怕都说错 还喜欢你 知不知道

如果有一天 梦想都实现
回忆都成了永远 你是否还会记得今天

如果有一天 我们都发觉
原来什么都可以 无论是否还会停留在这里

当你的眼睛眯着笑 当你喝可乐当你找
我想对你好 你从来不知道 想你想你 也能成为嗜好

当你说今天的烦恼 当你说夜深你睡不着
我想对你说 却害怕都说错 还喜欢你 知不知道

也许可是让我想得太多 也许该回到没我
梦里和相遇 就毫不犹豫 大声的说我要说

当你的眼睛眯着笑 当你喝可乐当你找
我想对你好 你从来不知道 想你想你 也能成为嗜好

啦 啦 啦
我想对你说 却害怕都说错 还喜欢你 知不知道
啦 啦 啦

7
LOVING ONE. You need safety in your relationship.
You want to be sure in his/her arms, knowing
that he will protect you and you can be totally
devoted to your other. At this point you are
very vulnerable. You open yourself and dont
even think that he/she could cheat you. You
totally trust your partner in every single way.
SO if you find out that she/he lied to you or
played a game this trust is broken. You may try
to forgive your other but this will be very
difficult.He/She has to be friendly and
trustworthy.
PLEASE VOTE, I want to know what you think about my
quiz, I worked hard on it.
You can always message me or tell me how I can
improve that quiz. Ill sure write back.


~THE big LOVE TEST!! What do you need? With PICS! For girls and boys!~
brought to you by Quizilla
hahaa.... exams are finally over, and bet u're wondering y i didn immediately leave an entry here the moment my papers ended... well...... I WAS BUSY SLACKING!!! hahaha... was acty reading harry potter and the order of the phoenix after all the papers, and got rather hooked onto it, so there was not much motivation going anywhere but my bed and the chairs to read it. do u know, though this is the second time i have read the book, i'm still in denial that sirius black died? oh man...somehow i dun think he died u know... he was still alive when the stunning spell got him (well... it was red light and not a green light...) mebbe like wat evon says, he's among the land of the dead, where he's still alive. anyway, i feel there are loopholes bout tt, so mebbe jk rowling might come up with something bout sirius black's death in the next book, which, as evon told me, the title is harry potter and the half-blood prince... =) wonder when it's gonna come out though...

ok... after the paper last thurs, in the evening, i went out with grace, xuefang and jasmine to watch Windstruck- a korean movie which is quite touching acty... hgahaha...the beginning made all of us laugh like anything, but the end... well... the end made us cry... u should wathc the show acty... it's quite lengthy to acty say it here, so i shall not spoil it for u... =) even at the sad moments, there were times when it was just funny as well. a good movie, i would say. but then again, i'm a sucker for romance. =) i would encourage u to watch it though... =)hehe...

after the movie we went to take neoprints, and just when we reached the shop, the shutters were just coming down. grace and xf went to plead with the shopkeepers, telling them we only wanted to take one shot, so they let us in. but that one shot was FUN! hahaha... we were the only customers inside the shop, so we were laughing and talking loudly. well acty, tt was the most fun i've had in taking neoprints... =)

anyway, tt's all the updating, and well, i've had fun slacking the past few days... how does one get used to slacking? hahahaha.... it's been very absent in my life these days, so i guess i better savour it... hehehe...
bye!
=)
