haven quite got over the SI thing yet.. haha.... anyway, let's all just hope for fairer outcomes for the competition... *crosses fingers*
just visited some of ur blogs, and realised that they, too, like mine, have remained stagnant for quite a while.. hehe... bet the stress is getting to all of us. my whole family's dropping like flies because of the flu... well, not my whole family maybe, coz my father is the only one unaffected by it. wanted to stay at home today to rest, but i realised there are a few commitments to be carried out today, and i can't possibly go back on my word once i've given it, can i? =) cant not go to sch tml either, coz there's lit, so the next best day would be on wed. i am predicting tt wed will be asthma attack day, coz my flu takes place in diff stages:
1. sore throat and/or body aches
2. stupid blocked nose that doesn allow me to sleep
3. coughs and asthma attacks
so far, 1 and 2 have been accomplished. now i just have to await the arrival of the asthma attack. coughs have started. so i guess by wed, the flu will reach its peak. hahaha... =) however, flu's not as bad as it was when i was in pri sch. whenever i had the flu and asthma attacks started, i'd have to be sent to the doctor for the nebulizer. u know, the oxygen like tank thing with a mask? yep, i was a frequent patroniser of that tank thing... hmm... i quite miss it though. haha... the smell's quite nice. sweet... =) but for some reason, it makes my nose run continuously, so tt's the bad side of it i guesss, along with the cost. luckily the intensity of the attacks has died down over the years, so i just need to rely on the inhaler.
i've just been looking thru the scholarships programmes, and i realised that i cant apply for so many of them, partly coz i dun take S paper, and partly coz i am not in the sci stream. i'd love to try applying to be a speech therapist acty... but tt requires a Bachelor of Sci. SPH scholarship... well... i guess i could try to apply for it, but as i slowly wake up from my delusions of grandeur, i realise tt i cant write. not at all. just feel my style seems childish. not matured and sophisticated like grace's, nor as full of content as jieting's. my lang is not bad i guess, but when i have to pit myself against the others with a much better command of the lang than i have, well...... the rest can be left unsaid. thus, should i be thick-skinned and go ahead with the scholarships application?

OH. MY. GOD.
WAT THE BLOODY FREAKING HELL JUST HAPPENED ON SINGAPORE IDOL, CAN SOMEONE PLS ENLIGHTEN ME?
why wasn't Christopher Lee voted out? why was Jerry Ong in the safe group? why was David Yeo kicked out?
whywhywhy?
jerry ong managed to kick out the good singers. isn it high time he got out? if he had gotten out today, its only a matter of time that christopher lee got out, rite? so wat the heck happened?
could someone tell me WHY they still managed to stay on in the competition? david yeo got kicked out because of ONE performance. jerry ong and christopher lee remained in the running though they had made god knows how many lacklustre performances. wat the hell??????? are their fanbases so large?
if everything goes the way it has done since SI started, jerry ong will win the award. olinda will be the next to get kicked out, followed by.... hmm... i dunno... leandra perhaps? then taufik, then maia, then daphne... then.... dunno who.
do i sound totally childish? perhaps i do. haha... but its just so amazing that results can acty turn out this way. oh man! its so painful to watch it, seriously. i guess reality tv does evoke violent tendencies in ppl... hehe...

while trying to revise econs, this thot kept recurring in my mind (useless thots keep recurring just when i should be utilising my brain for more pract purposes -_-" anyway, i'm digressing): wat is madness? is it when a person totally loses all consciousness of his surroundings but just continues to exist in a seemingly semi-conscious state behaving in a way tt is not socially acceptable? or does madness exist when a person has subconsciously decided to lock its conscious self in a place deep in the recesses of the mind where it is unreachable? in other words, is madness a withdrawal of the mind from the real world?
i just finished watching san shi feng yu lu (dunno the eng title, but i think its "Trials of Time" or something), and Zinan had gone mad coz of her foiled attempt to be with the guy she has loved since childhood- Rui-an, her cousin. acty i'm not sure when she started going mad, but i think the foiled attempt was the last straw. anyway, back to the story. when zinan was first sent to prison and her mother went to visit her, zinan was like a doll being dragged by the policewoman to the visiting place. there, she just sat limply while her mother pleaded with her to say something, all the while having an impassive face, and dull, sightless eyes. i suspected that zinan had already gone round the bend, but i was forced to rethink this when i saw a tear rolling down her cheeks, which could only mean that zinan had heard her mother's words, just that she still remained the same- limp, impassive, with sightless eyes. it made me have a feeling that while she was seemingly untouchable, a part of her- the sane and logical conscious part of her- was touched, just that it was already buried too deep inside her mind. was her mind already rejecting wat is real, accepting emptiness or the memories of the past? subsequently, as there was a fast forward to 2004, a scene showed zinan in a mental hospital (i think), who had seriously gone beyond reach. was this the final act of the deadening of her consciousness? i dunno. wat was still with her, though, was her memories of her past with Rui-an, which, i suspect, were her most treasured memories.
i'm not sure if u understood my analysis. it all looks confusing to me. nonetheless, the bottom line is that does madness mean locking away our consciousness and leaving only the memories we want? if so, does that mean that madness is curable, coz if madness is wat i think it might be, isnt it the conscious effort of the subconscious to lock away all that is painful and logical, and just bury it? or issit incurable, coz, like "Goblin Market", "One can lead a horse to water, Twenty cannot make him drink"- a person's mind is stronger than anything else?
i mean, u see, even Poe suggests this. in "The System of Dr Tarr and Prof Fether", the patients in the mental hospital seemed to have gone mad coz of a rejection of the social conventions imposed on them from society. in order to buck these conventions, they withdraw from the real world, and retreat into an imaginary world (somewat like a world not unlike that in "Alice in Wonderland") of them being teapots, donkeys and chickens. however, a point of consideration is this: was their bucking of social conventions conscious or unconscious? could there have been someting that happened to them that caused this, or did they just suddenly wake up one morning and found that the world they lived in was too harsh, too cold, too.... real?
ok, i better stop here... i'm making myself confused... now i think both the possibilities of madness are interlinked, though i feel there is a difference. cant really figure out the difference now anyway. hmm.... mebbe u can air ur views on my tagboard?
my final stand, though, is this: madness does seem to be a conscious effort of the subconscious in locking away the sane and the real, and the subsequent withdrawal of the mind into a deeper, darker, 'safer' place, where one cannot be touched by the harshness of the real world. it is a form of escapism, into a world made up one's own fantasies. so, while that person is living, awake, he or she is acty living a fantasy world deep within himself or herself, just like zinan, who lives in her past, when she was 11, knitting a scarf for Rui-an. a fantasy, a memory, which remains unchanged regardless of anything, and hence, stable and safe.

i meant to update the entries on sat, but.. well.... was too sleepy to do so... haha.... finally met up with serene, ee hui, ying chao after almost 2 yrs of postponing my meeting them... wow. hahaha... =) well, i caught up with them on most things, and found out how much i'd missed out on their lives this past 1 1/2 yrs. oh man... lets just hope it isn too late to really catch up on everything... haha... i really miss them man, just meeting them like tt reminded me of the old times, when we used to go to ee hui's house. i miss the times when we just sat down to tok bout so many things just like tt day. haha... it's like, all my friends are different... in different groups, we tok bout different things, and it was just so nice to be able to tok bout... things with them... haha, dun ask me wat we tokked bout... we tokked bout so many things...
it was a really interesting day acty. instead of going out to have lunch, we cooked our own spaghetti in ee hui's house. first, however, we went shopping at parkway. haha. we met too early though, and had breakfast at ya kun's, where we chatted. i must admit i felt a little.... left out, but then, i guess tt's only to be expected since i haven seen them for SOOOOOOOOO long!! anyway, we spent quite a bit of time at ee hui's house tokking b4 we went to start cooking. MAN! the food was GOOD!!! haha... =) mebbe the company added to the entire cookign and eating experience. =)
hehe, the funny part came when we had dessert. we made our own fondue! or rather, ee hui did it for us. she melted chocolate on a saucepan, and cut apples, bananas, pears and strawberries. then she opened a bottle of red wine and 4 of us trooped down to the poolside to eat all these. haha... can u imagine, 4 ppl, one carrying a bottle of wine, one carrying fruits and a pot holder, one holding wine glasses, and another carrying the saucepan, and we went down to the poolside to eat and... yep, watch guys, coz ee hui said there were many caucasians on sat swimming tt day. hehe/.... =) the children were SOOO cute! well the guys... nth much to say, coz they were either too young or too old. hehe... ;) anyway, i felt rather self-conscious... after all, its not everyday one goes to the poolside to drink red wine and eat fondue! haha... to add to this, ee hui's wine glasses were huge! =) those who walked past us were staring at our glasses. someone finally said, "those are the largest wine glasses i've ever seen!"hehe... oh well.... =) a new experience after all. i can't say if i got drunk, coz i didn feel woozy, but i did feel REAL sleepy... haha... i was in danger of dozing off several times! i could walk in a straight line though... ;) yep... hmm... my chest did feel a little tight after drinking the wine, but there wasnt a full-blown asthma attack, as i had anticipated. i dunno y, though... perhaps those times when i drank wine and got asthma attacks were coincidences?lemme try somemore next time... hahaha... hypothesis testing... hehe... =)
yep, adn tt was one of the best gatherings i've had... hehe... i must make a note to catch up with all the others after the As.... =)

Ooops... think i told grace the wrong description of my blog.. hehe... its not a toddler puckering up... its... (hold on... i go check) a little girl looking proud of herself... hmm.... bad with images these days. i have a strong suspicion my brain cells are on the verge of dying. oh man... tt would make me like the youngest person in the world to suffer from Alzheimer's. oh man... seriously! i could remember different conversations with different ppl for a long time after i tokked to them, and i could attach names to faces easily. now, i'd be lucky if i can remember wat i said to my sis this morning. wow.
anyway, there are 2 more papers left to go. maths paper2 and the gothic paper. shikes. both are my weak areas. i cant decide which io'm weaker in. i've always been BAAAAD with stats. =p cant stand them. as for gothic, i'm nvr sure how to argue my case for the essay qns. and i have to do reasonably well for these papers, coz i bombed last wk's papers, just the way the Americans bombed hiroshima and nagasaki in...err... 1945 (did i get tt rite?)... bad bad bad feeling all round. bet ms lam's gonna look at my rossetti essay and go "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?" and my silas essay is gonna be so lacking in points... i only tokked bout setting as integral to the central themes of the novel. didn tok about the use and importance of imagery, the narrative voice. Double SHIKES. AAAARGHG!!!! and WAS there insecurity in the drama extract? i cant decide. oh shEEEEEEET (screeeches)
ok enough bout lit. its depressing. need i go on about the other subj? suffice it to say that they were equally disastrous. nvr felt so positive bout failing gp. ohmanohmanohman.........
ok i think i better shut up. hahaha....
on to lighter stuff, Schnoozee can go down the stairs!! haha, just trained him to when i came home just now. knwoing he has a fear of heights, i placed him at the top stair while i went to unearth the slippers he had snuck under the sofa. then, when i came, he had climbed up the stairs. i had to coax him down the stairs with treats. for every step he took, he got a treat. he's funny u know, he thinks tt by climbing upwards, it can acty ease his agony of climbing down. *shrugs*
and i think i've got a mad puppy. he's tearing round the house now as we speak, stealing slippers and socks and door wedges. yes, door wedges. and, to add on to all these, he just ran out of the house. to make things worse, he doesn recognise his name yet. can u imagine the panic we all feel when he runs out of the house and he doesn appear? we dun even know whether he's in the house or not. argh. my house is 15 storeys aboveground. this stupid daredevil dog has no fear of anything. can u imagine if he acty went thru the fence? he'd fall to his death and be as squashed as... well, as someone who just jumped from the 15th storey. other than that, he's cute and lovable. jsut tt i wish he wasn so hyper. argh.... no luck in the toilet training area too, coz he does his business anywher BUT the newspaper when we let him out. however, whenever he's back in his place, he pees at the same spot. i dun understand!!!

ok, end of olympics=start of mugging
YAH RITE. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID I HAVE TO STUDY? dun even bother counting. u're just gonna lose count.
first time i stayed up to watch the women's vball finals... it was exciting, but SOOOO irritating and LONG. can u believe the first set was 30-28? i was lying on the sofa, half awake, thinking, "enough alreadY! can't someone jkust win this set?" well, russia won the set. and the next. but china took the next 3 sets. YIPPEEE!!! hahah... china finished 5th 4 yrs ago. they are good, and they really pia their hearts out... oh btw, the match was at 1... and tt one set took about an hour... ended up giving up watching it halfway and gg off to slp at 3 soemthing. the game was only into its third set. -_-" i was there drifting in and out of sleep. hahaha... dunno hwo my sis can find the energy to finish watching the game... even the men's one the next day, which was at 12.... goodness.... i guess coz its brazil playing... she loves brazil, says they play like kampong kias... hahaha... sorta liek the way they play soccer... born naturals... =)
watching the olympics makes me wish i was born with some spectacular sports talent.... like superhuman stamina or somehting.... but then, there's a downside to this, coz sports is a cruel side of life. yep, winning is cool, but losing... well, its damn painful. i watched the handball finals on sunday, denmark vs korea. well, i dun really understand handball, but i can sure understand the feelings of the players... the game was tied at 34-34, and to solve the prob, there was the penalty shootout. korea lost when the danish goalkeeper managed to save 2 goals. i nvr expected such a rush of emotion as i watched the players explode at the end of the game. the koreans were huddled together crying, while the danish were piled on top of one another in a group hug (kinda weird if u ask me...) and were kissing each other. they were doing funny things, like rolling around on the floor... hmm... but well, there rose in me rather conflicting emotions: overwhelming happiness for the winners, a sense of pain and loss for the losers. its like, they've come so far, played so hard, and they lost. its sorta like bringing up a person to the heavens then bringing them crashing down to earth just when they believed they could reach their destinations.
well, tts a side of sports i guess, showing the realities of life, like giving us an awareness that life is not always smooth-sailing. even a world no1 like lin dan could lose to susilo. but still, though tts the truth bout sports, and it still attracts ppl, its still painful and cruel. so wat if a team had trained hard? everything falls apart when the team is off-form, or when luck is not on their side. at tt time, who cares how much effort they had put in before?
haha... sounds rather negative eh? well.... *shrugs* this entry might spark off some aruments i guess, but it'll do my chatterbox some good to have some lively arguments there... haha... guess my argument is pretty one-sided... i'd love to hear the other side of this argument, if anyone has it.... haha... it might come out for gp u know, like mebbe ' "entertaining but absolutely of zero content". discuss this view of sports. ' hahah... then we can pull out this argumen.... hahaha.... all thanks to me!!!
haha... i tend to get carried away... dun mind me.... well, it just occurred to me this has been the longest entry since.... dunno when... hahaha.... k, my eyes are drifting shut. gtg. CIAO! hahah...

i need to get my life back and find my balance once again... hehe, feel like i'm like "a man sliding into dark waters seeks to find a momentary footing on the slippery stones", just struggling to find my balance before i fall. tt balance has been lost since the common test. guess i was getting too complacent...
oh well, i think i have to remain a recluse in order to find my balance again. school is taking up too much time... haha... bet commando was plotting to make me come to school everyday.... plan the timetable until there is no day i can skip. haha...

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHITES!!!!! li jiawei lost!!! *sob sob* it was such a painful match to watch!
when i turned on the tv, the score was 3-3, and both sides had drawn, with 3games to 3 games. the seventh game was the rubber set, meant to decide who would advance to the next round.... it was like, 3-3, then 4-3, then 4-4... all the way to 9-8 in favour of jiawei, then kim hyang mi caught up. -_-" it was SOOO sad to watch i tell u... even as a tv spectator dunno how many thousand miles away from athens, i was rather overcome by emotion, and could acty feel the tension li jiawei mus have been feeling at that time... i bet its hell to be brought up so high, and led to believe she was capable of doing so much, then suddenly losing it by such a small margin. tt's y its so painful... i imagines it being me, and i almost cried... hee... call me a sentimental emotional fool, but.... well, there u are.... =)
anyway, li jiawei did put up a good fight. she tried her best... guess we just have to wait for the next olympics, where mebbe s'pore will have better luck... this is just like 4 yrs ago, when most of s'pore tuned in to watch jing junhong play in the semis... we still lost, but by a larger margin. this time, we were so near, yet so far.... *sighs heavily*
nvm, we still have robotics competitions and math olympiads to look forward to for our gold medals...... =)

hey.... just heard yesterday morning tt li jiawei won the quarter-finals and is on her way to the semis, playing against tt korean girl zhang xueling lost to... hehe... to be honest, i nvr really believed she would beat wang nan- after all, wang nan had beaten jing junhong 4 yrs ago in the semis, and jing is a more experienced player... *shrugs* oh well, its great news after all! =) it was an upset all rite... 4-1... oh man.... cool! =)
haha... hopefully Singapore will earn a place on the medal tally board... even a bronze is good... =)

CRAP. got a bleedin' headache now, which is SOOOO at the wrong time, just when i need my brainpower to do the Silas Marner essay. its fun acty, but NOT fun when i have to do it with a headache and a non-working paracetamol. argh.... the damn thing is pounding away merrily now, while i figure out how to phrase my sentences to form a coherent argument so as to pose a challenge for the rip-the-essay event tml... haha.... well... let's just hope the essay is relevant, and the arguments made are strong and not too unfocused, as is always my problem in essays. so far, i have managed to reach the second page, but i'm not halfway through. the min requirement for an essay? 4 sides. GREAT.
so wat the hell am i doing here, u might ask? haha, i have no idea myself, perhaps to take a li'l break? hehe, i have like until 12 midnight to complete this essay... cos at 12, cuba is gonna play against china in the vball event... haha, this should be an interesting match... =) if the headache persists, mebbe it wuld be time to take stronger action... hai... ponstan.... though i have to wait 3 hours for the thing to take the capsule, coz i just took paracetamol... haha.... perhaps i should try to find something enjoyable bout the pain? sort of like, if i can't beat the pain, i gotta join them kinda thing? hahah... sounds sadistic? well.. i've found it works sometimes... hahaha... just like eating chilli, i found tt a way to not let the chilli get to u is to just sit still, and just concentrate on the sensation of the chilli on ur lips and tongue. haha... must concentrate fully, otherwise it gets a mite unbearable... hehe... when u really concentrate, the feeling becomes kinda interesting... ahaha..... somewhat better than drinking water i feel... water makes it worse somehow... =)
so sad bout susilo's match rite? the last 2 matches brought him to the heavens, then this brought him crashing back down to earth. the last set was a real disappointment. he nvr seemed to be able to hold on to his service... hai.... feel badminton is a cruel game. tough on the body and the mind... like beach vb acty... hmm..... he was so close to the semis, but now.....
oh well... though singapore has had no gold medals in sports, at least we have plenty of gold medals in the areas of robotics and maths olympiads... haha.... guess we know where our comparative advantage lies now, eh? =)

"Where Is The Love"
If ever a boy stood on the moon
All the heavens would call them angels 'round
Stop the tears from troubled sky's....from
Falling...falling...falling.
If ever the river could whisper your name,
Would the choices you made still be the same?
Like a flower that dies from angry rain,
Why do we hurt ourselves?
Where is the love that lets the sunlight in to start again?
The love that sees no color lines?
Life begins with love,
So spread your wings & fly,
Guide your spirit safe & sheltered,
A thousand dreams that we can still believe.
If ever a boy stood on the moon,
Carrying all of his treasures from the stars
To a rainbow which leads to where we are.
Together we'd chase the sun.
Where is the love that lifts my brother's voice to the skies?
The love that answers a mother's cry?
Life begins with love,
So spread your wings & fly,
Guide your spirit safe & sheltered.
A thousand dreams that we can still believe.
A boy stood on the moon
The ancient souls can still discover
A thousand dreams that we can still believe
That we can still believe
We can still believe
We can still believe
-------- Celine Dion
it's a beautiful song... jsut realised i had this song in one of her albums... just fell in love with the song... haha... then again, all of celine dion's songs are nice *shrugs* her voice is GREAT.... i wonder if they still sell her greatest hits album, though there should be more songs added to her list by now since she came into the music world again.... =) go dl it or something!!!
anyone know where i can get the html codes for this song?

went to school in a daze today... seriously, my brain was barely functioning at all. it was as if the thing was just stuffed full of cotton wool and air... hehe... sounds like i'm exaggerating? believe me, i'm not. been feeling like tt often... esp this yr, particularly for lit... it's like, i feel i have no more to give to lit anymore. zilch [u hear tt squashing sound when u say "zilch"? cool eh? =)]. i just feel drained of any sensible emotion anymore. hehe... yep, its true... melodramatic? perhaps. but i just cant seem to find the emotion nor the words to express wat i feel for the texts anymore. i think i just need rest, though tt sounds rather moronic, since we all just came back from 4 days of national day. hahaha.... big joke, i did not do any work... hehe... was bz playing and tokking to laura (oh, i had a great time btw, so Laura, DUN U DARE TO SAY SORRY. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN) and tricking alvin and alan... hee.... =) ironic ain't it? tt i didn do anything productive, and yet feel drained? sickening if u ask me...
i wanna pon school!!!!! i need time at home to study!!!! seriously, i'm desperate for ponning sch, just tt the thot tt i'm gonna have to go get mc and wait so long and then next day borrow notes from another poor soul who oso needs it for her work, and then bring home to copy....... it's so tedious, i might as well drag up my lazy and getting fatter body out of my nice, comfy warm bed and begin the preparation for sch. on lucky days, i get to board 21 and wun have to walk so much. on unlucky days... well.... have to take 18... argh... i dun like to walk... ehehe.... then again, i'm lazy... =p
anyway, on to more lighthearted things.... did u know tt the lemon tree guy was from dhs?!!??!? i didn know either... hehe, until i read XY's blog.. will have to find out his name soon though... hehe... =)
oh yah, more lighthearted stuff!! FRIDAY is COMING!!!!! hahaha.... FINALLY...
oh well... its getting late... let's hope tml wun be such a dazy day for me.... i'm crossing my fingers.... pray hard for me k? =)

haha.... yesterday was a greeeat day! it started out fine... then we went to hougang sports hall to watch the match tt mel told me was made up of 'Iron Ladies'. unfortunately, we went too late. we weren't even in time to watch the players shake hands *shakes head*. haha... anyway, we were in time to watch the Police Academy vs the Singapore Combined Schools. the Police Academy guys were good! the Combined Schools.... well..... they didn really live up to our expectations... after all, they are supposed to be the best from their schools, and probably the future national team players... hmm... but there was an age difference between the two teams though... and fitness i guess. hehe... =) i guess the oldest in the COmbined Schools was our age? the POlice Academy, however, have been released from NS (hmm.. am i rite?). isnt the age difference a factor in this? the match got better as the players got in to the second and third sets. i think the combined schools team sent in their second six for the first set... they were thrashed k.... 25-5... the other 2 sets were better, though they lost as well... 25-25, 25-21 i think... i must say though, the combined schools did their best... =) it was an exciting match altogether... =)
after that was FUN!!!!! we all (Laura, evon, yi lun and me) went to meet alvin at marina bay to buy present for bernice jiejie... her 21st bday is coming, and her bf wanted to do something sweet for her by contacting laura and asking her to collect the presents from the other cousins, which he would mail to her in NZ... Awwwwwwww.... haha.. .we decided to get her a kite, thanx to TC's idea of a kite representing freedom, and we ended up spending $25... for a kite!! hahaha.. we nvr expected a kite to cost tt much! too bad alan was having the flu, otherwise all the cousins (well, almost all) would have had a great time together! the kite we bought came with a packet of 10 mini-kites, which we tried to fly altogether in the field... hahaha... in the end, we ended up flying only two, on separate strings, coz we werent able to make them fly... -_-" it was fun though, everyone running like mad just trying to get the kites to get up. goodness! we couldn even match up to a little boy flying a kite! argh... hahaha... guess our kites were just too small... nevertheless, we all had the time of our lives!!!!
we wanted to take a photo altogether, but unfortunately there was no one we could ask. since alvin had already taken a photo with alan, he took a pic for the 4 of us... hahaha... we went mad though in one of the photos, posing like mao zedong. hehe... will try to post it up... if i can... =) we should take a whole group photo!!!
i seriously can't wait for Nov to come... yah yah... i know... there's the dreaded A levels, but then, ALL the cousins are coming! well... mebbe not all, coz penny, linda and george are not coming, but well, the rest are!!! we MUST take photos together!!!! Nan2 de2 yi1 ci4 we get to get together... come to think of it, we have NEVER got together like tt... i have only just talked to kenette last year, can u believe it, when i've known bout his existence for all my life... *shakes head* we only got reacquainted last yr. pathetic aint it? blame it on the geographicval distance... can't wait to see lynette jie jie!!!!! hahaha... she's a v fun person to be around!! mad mad one... hehe... wish kenette could bring his gf though.. i wanna see her!!!
can u imagine the fun we'll have?!?!?!?!? hopefully they'll stay until after my As, then we can all go tour Singapore together... then after tt we go back malaysia together... hehe... book the budget airlines and all of us get in.. it'll be like our private airline!!! hahahahahahah.... COOL!!! now, if only As didn end so late...........
anyway, if i wanna enjoy myself freely when they come, i better go continue my work. otherwise, there will be a dampener on my mood when i go out with them and keep thinking of how i did for my paper or if i've finished my revision....
ah xiang korkor's wedding is on 20th nov mah..... right smack in the middle of my exams.... hopefully by then i'll be surer of my work to be able to go out like once or twice with my cousins and attend the wedding!! let's hope all the cousins can sit together, without my niece trying to squeeze in.... *shudders*

Do parents mean to say tt only now do they realise their children are being robbed of their childhood?!?!?!?! tsk tsk.... how slow they are... dun tell me they nvr knew their children were not allowed to play wildly during recess, before and after sch?!?! and had to do silent reading (not tt i minded tt v much.. i quite enjoyed silent reading, by the way ^_^) oh man..... and yes, for parents' info, the children are growing up much too fast for their own good. i mean, a LIFE SCIENCES CLUB in pri sch where students learn to EXTRACT DNA?!?!?! in my time, we didn even know wat the hell DNA was. if u had told me there was such a thing as RNA, i would have been reminded of Ribena. yes, i am speaking seriously. sounds dumb, i know... but at least i knew tt i led a more normal childhood than children now. at least i got to go downstairs and play all sorts of games with my neighbours and learnt how to ride a bike or something... haha.. at least tt let me learn something more bout the world.
frankly, i think if children are allowed to play more, they discover more bout the world. there is joy in learning, and i feel schools would do well to remember tt. i remember my mother used to bring us down for walks and while talking to us, she would tell us stuff, like wat mimosas were, their special characteristics, wat the names of other plants and flowers were.... u know, those just made us more eager to learn more? yah yah... i'm in arts now, but so wat? at least i enjoyed learning wateva it was tt i learnt... didn regret it btw... =) ah well... those were the good old days.
u know, if i could get my way, i'd let children learn chinese in a more fun way. i'd let them watch chinese shows- NO, not those Chinese shows by MOE (they're BORING!!!), by MEdiaCorp or MediaWorks. then, we'd discuss them and learn words. and then, we'd oso watch CHINESE MOVIES. hmm... mebbe meteor garden all those as well... hahaha.... u'd be surprised at how much pri sch children know bout these shows man... by niece and nephew are proof of tt... in this, at least there's incentive in learning chinese! at least it's better than gg to class and learning (translate this to chi on ur own... i cant type it here) "My sister has a red bag. My brother has a blue bag. My parents go to work everyday" u know, all those kind of things? well, who the heck cares wat colour bags ur bro and sis carry?!?!?!?! i carry ablack one and u dun see me gg around telling everyone, do u? and i dun have a bro, thank u v much. oh well... i'm just being lame here...
