Been copying down tabs obsessively for the whole week. Everything has taken a backseat but tabs tabs tabs. Somehow, I have this delusion that I would be able to memorize them in a day.

I refuse to give up learning how to play the guitar properly, but I'm falling prey to my laziness...which made me placid about weiqi.

On another note, jump on the table and do the ring ding dong dance (shinee) if you actually still bother checking up on my blog.

First week of school did not exist, because I only attended a grand total of 1 day, whooo!

I've caught a very nasty virus flu sorta bronchitis thing from my sister, and it's been scaring me this whole week. On and off fever that rises up to 38-degrees at night, then drops to 37 degrees in the afternoon. It's been going on for the whole week already, and I've been popping those pills.

I'm feeling chilly yet burning hot at the same time, and my nose is blocked+sore throat that keeps me awake
at night. My immunity system must be dead or something, because there's no sign of recovery.

Very worried that it's not some flu strain, and it turns out to be dengue or pneumonia or something!

GOOD GOD LOOK AT HER RUNNNNNZZZZZ

Belongs to me. Please don't molest it, she's still a minor.

2009-12-06T12:48:00.000-08:00

This is whale-pyon. She looks so much like Ponyo we shall christen her as whalyo-pyon.

If I am smart enough, whalyo-pyon would be able to run across the broadwalk by Tuesday in a run cycle. If I am too dumb, which I am- whalyo-chan will be an F for my 2-d animation.

It sucks when a P4 kid tells you that you're not worth his time halfway through a match.

Dear Valerie

Please go to sleep by 2am every night. Your body clock has been so badly tarnished that you find yourself sleeping at around 3am to 5am ( or not even sleeping at all, choosing to play Dissidia or YuGiOh! instead) and having to force yourself to wake up every morning at 7am.

Valerie, the results of such reckless action has resulted in you falling asleep as soon as a lecture or tutorial starts, falling asleep halfway through a weiqi game and falling asleep in the MRT and thus missing your stop.

You have missed 3 tutorials and lectures attendance simply because you slept at 5am, and your body simply refused to let you wake up in time to attend class. This will affect your chance to do well in poly.

Procrastinating on your prop making and homework has also left you in a lurch, leaving you to chiong at night. Those sleepless nights have left you with an irritable temper, a zit covered face and partial memory loss- you don't remember switching off the handphone alarm in the morning despite waking up with it in your hand.

They have also affected your ability to notice you lose things easily, since you almost lost your thumbdrive, house keys, jacket and umbrella all in one week. Your lethargy and panda eyes are an eye sore.

Now, even as you type this, your body is desperately pleading for you to jump into bed, but you don't give a shit and wish to Facebook somemore while snacking on cookies and gaining weight.

Your body will give out soon, so please- get some sleep.

Sincerely, Valerie.

PS. Blog is now open again. Too bloody lazy to log in each time, bah.

2009-10-19T10:25:00.000-07:00

School has started, oh golly awesome shit

2009-09-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

why so srs? xD

Because we are preparing to storm a safehouse filled with zombies.

My hair was so long then. Long enough to have a sexay ponytail!

Hols are ending soon. It's depressing.

Chalet!

Chalet with the mongs and a bbq!

And I ordered the wig today ._.

This could be the worst decision ever.

2009-09-13T13:32:00.000-07:00

Lazy at home now. I have plenty of chores to carry out, but I'm bone-lazy.

I'm so lazy and bored, I've taken to watching Sailormoon movies on Youtube.

It's cheesy but strangely addictive.

I remember watching some when I was younger, and they seemed ( to me at least) to be on the cutting edge of anime.

I'm also watching Soul Eater now.

I want to buy Pokemon Soul Silver.

I'm useless, but I'm loving it.

2009-08-29T09:42:00.000-07:00

I want to cosplay as Tai for Afa.

Can someone please be my Matt. Or whoever, I'm not picky.

DA's semester only ends on Friday, next week. 4th September.

I have only been sleeping at 4am or later for the week, the same as everyone in Animation now :/

Heck, my classmates don't even SLEEP.

I love my light-box.

I'm still forcing myself to stay optimistic.

I gained 2kg.

Fuck.

Mainly because I've been eating junk food and only 1 square meal a day.

I want to run.

Not sitting the air conditioned studio and become white and pasty.

I wish I could camp in the studio.

Since we all leave school at around 10pm doing the shitty studio project, why not just friggin let us stay overnight?

I have to skip weiqi this week.

And fall behind Jia Jun, Joel and the rest.

I haven't started on my portfolio yet.

Which is also due by Thursday.

I have 288 more frames to draw by Tuesday.

I have 300 and more to render.

I hate myself.

I didn't procrastinate this time.

but I regret it all the same.

I hate my concept

I hate my drawing

I want to jump off a cliff.

I should continue drawing

I am going off now.

2009-08-17T18:05:00.000-07:00

2009-08-13T09:53:00.000-07:00

... Roxanne's tag SCARED me into updating. It was so frank, so concise... and seemingly innocent. But it somehow sent a chill down my spine. THUS, AN UPDATE :)

'can you please update'

Yes madam, if that is an order *bows*

LOL THERE IS NOTHING TO UPDATE!

I'm thinking like shite now, but nothing interesting seems to happen to me!

Let's talk about someting recent!

I got trashed by a 8 year old P2 kid in a weiqi match! He's the 2nd strongest in Singapore in the junior category!

He was tiny, soft-spoken and very timid. He's so short, HIS LEGS CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE FLOOR FROM THE CHAIR.When I asked him if he needed to leave soon halfway into the match- since the weiqi lesson starts at 7.30pm and ends at 9.30pm, he just blinked at me and shook his head shyly.

He was like shit quiet throughout the whole thing. I was quiet too, but only because I was trying to decipher the Chinese. Yang Lao Shi explained everything in Chinese with profound cheem weiqi terms that everyone seems to understand but me.

Anyway. I was suspicious of him right from the start, he seemed so quiet the kid. The match started,

AND HE FRIGGIN PROCEEDED TO EAT UP ALL MY TERRITORY ON THE BOARD.

Its like he's tiny and timid in person, but a freaking GODZILLA on the weiqi board. Since I got white, I decided to go defensive and protect my own territory. But he just kept on INVADING my territory like no tomorrow, all the while maintaining the sweet, quiet exterior.

In the end, his territory was over half the board. And he was still quiet. But vicious in his attacks. It's so unnerving. He's only 8, and already so strong and almighty- I think he's aiming to be a professional weiqi player? Well, good for you, godzilla. You've earned my respect. He was really too darned cool in his playing.

Gosh, my ego was DESTROYED. Baoyi told me once that the seniors got ripped apart by an 8 year old girl in a weiqi match as well. Maybe being 8 stimulates your inner child viciousness.

Come to think of it, I was 8 and P2 when I made Mrs Morgan cry, thrust me to the discipline mistress and called up my mum. Yeah. Being 8 DOES make you GODZILLA on the inside :)

Ah, the young generation.

2009-07-26T13:11:00.001-07:00

HUZZAH ITS 4AM.

2009-07-02T22:07:00.000-07:00

Can't upload any pictures shit. What is wrong with the uploader!?

Getting my ass kicked every weiqi match is NOT good.

:/

And I missed a deadline for an assignment because I thought it was supposed to be handed up on Friday, not Thursday shit!

The only thing I'm happy about is MY UTOPIAN CITY A! MY FIRST A MY A MY A!!! XDD *dances*

2009-06-18T12:27:00.000-07:00

I was reading through my old posts from 2005-2008. It's funny in a mortifying sort of way.

I didn't realize that I used to type '...' after a few phrases. I once complained about Vanessa doing it, and it turns out I used to do it as well.

The irony. *gets shot*

Manwah- Takagi and Mashiro are calling you ._.

It's 3.29am now, and I feel dizzy. Maybe because I pigged out on Nicole's birthday present throughout the whole night... FAMOUS AMOS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, GAIZ.

I want to buy a pair of pants that isn't made of denim. Stripy pinstriped vertical checked dark lined whatever. Pants. I want them. I've been wearing the same pair of jeans almost every time I decide to wear long pants for the longest time. If it isn't the jeans, its the black shorts. Variety is the spice of life.

I want to just step out, buy my pants and go home and sleep.

I can't fit into my white creepers ;A; OH WHY, DAMN IT WHY.

My mum calls them 'platform clown shoes'. I think she is right BECAUSE THEY DON'T BLOODY FIT. They are so big they flop all over the place. My sis calls them 'platform ah mah shoes'.

3.50am

Got to force myself to sleep NOW.

2009-06-06T01:33:00.000-07:00

Funny accident happened last Sunday.

Was rushing for mass because I only left NYP at about 5.30pm. Had about half an hour to reach Toa Payoh from Yio Chu Kang.

Vanessa threatened to give up my seat and I hated to be late for mass.

Ran to TP like I was in the Amazing Race. When I reached Toa Pyoh, I cut pass the furniture shop part and crossed the road.

There was a small road separating a housing block and the CC, and a family and an old dude on a wheelchair was crossing the road. Family crossed the road and went towards housing block.

I crossed the road as well, and noticed the wheelchair dude-who was alone-was slowly, painfully pushing himself forward. Wanted to dart pass him because I was bloody late.

But I SUDDENLY thought "MUST BE LIKE ROXANNE LEH. And I'm freaking going to church, was I supposed to tell God later that I dumped an old dude on a wheelchair and left him to his own devices!?'

So I turned around, stared for a few seconds and stupidly went 'HEI THAR, YOU WANT A LIFT?'

Now I think about it, I sounded like those shotacon old lecherous men that drop past a school in a car, wind down a window and smile winningly at a little kid going 'Hey kiddo. You want a lift home, dear?'

Anyway, old wheelchair dude blinked at me. Then he said (maybe he thought I turned suddenly insane or something) 'Er...um... I'm heading towards the church...?'

And MAYBE IT WAS GOD'S WILL OR SOMETHING.

So I went "Oh, COOL! We're going to the same direction, high five!"

Yes, I really said that. I can't believe it- what the hell was wrong with me at that moment? Maybe I was so worried at being late that I freaking lost MY MIND.

And then I did something even more stupid- I grabbed the handlebars and freaking DASHED towards the church. Like Graham when he activates his FLAG, I kind of just zoomed past the hawker centre and the CC. The old dude was kinda light, thus me being able to go fast.

The old dude was like clutching the sides of his seat and he kept on going 'Now, now it's okay- THERE'S STILL TIME- eh, we're not late, don't worry!'

And then there was this short slope at the end of the pavement. In my rush I nearly lost control of the wheelchair and it kind of swerved towards the road. Eh, I think if I accidentally let go, he would have just landed in the middle of the road.

And I panicked, yelled out 'FUCK!' and used all my strength to swerve the wheelchair to the original direction. The old wheelchair dude gasped loudly and I think he thought he was going to die on the road in a car accident.

But we both got to church safely, and I delivered the old wheelchair dude to one of the wardens as they were more professional that me xD

Haha, it was a fun experience.

ANTIC CAFE~

Participated in the Weiqi Lanke Cup on Saturday and Sunday. Got thrashed on Saturday, Sunday was slightly better, even kinda fun. 5th match against one of my fellow first-year was wild.

Break is coming soon, but with all the hints the lecturers are dropping, I doubt it'll be much of a break :/ Excited for the MONG gathering though. Hope it turns out fab.

Went for a haircut today again, now my fringe looks kinda like AnCafe ex-guitarist Bou's fringe. My hair is really short now xD

Wow, it.s 3.30am. Good morning, everyone!

2009-05-25T10:41:00.000-07:00

Can you guess what time was this photo taken?

I miss the Mong tribal people. I miss IJ.

Poly is great and my classmates are really cool, but IJ is IJ.

But everyone is working hard now, so I must work hard too.

I need to keep that in mind.

Let's go to Prefere's or something soon, yo!

2009-05-20T09:15:00.000-07:00

Cakes from Canele! They taste delicious :) My one attempt at macro photography, and it failed terribly!

I lost my parka in one of the Maclabs. Its was gone before I even knew it. Goodbye brand new Uniqlo blue parka, you kept me snug in the freezing temperatures of the labs for a week. It was just a flighty relationship, but if I ever do find that ass that took you I will rescue you from that shithead's clutches, love.

The investigation will probably amount to nothing, seeing as so many people in the campus have the exact same parka as me. What can I do, confront them one by one and ask them HEY WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR UNIQLO PARKA FROM????

What I want to do now is collapse on the bed, close my eyes and go back a day before.

I WANT MY PARKA BACK. I WANT IT BACK. I HATE MYSELF FOR BEING SO CARELESS. MY PARKA WAS BOUGHT IN JAPAN AND GIVEN TO ME BY MY SIS FOR PETE'S SAKE. IT'S LIKE A CONNECTION TO JAPAN.

This week shall be called "Observation Week". Reasons are as such.

MONDAY

-While waiting for the 238 bus, I saw a girl WEARING AN AWESOME PAIR OF SHOES. They were black and white creepers, the ones I had been itching to buy since ever. I wanted to snatch them off her feet and run off with it. They cost $88 by the way.

-While leaving the MRT at Yio Chu Kang station, I saw a girl who looked like Wei Ting. The resemblence is uncanny.

-I saw my shitty Drawing Fundamentals artwork when it was returned, and I was told I had a D+ for it, 1 grade before a Fail.

TUESDAY

-I saw stars. Reason is that I slept at 5am- because I stayed up the whole fucking night to do my Design Fundamentals homework. Children, learn from this mad person that PROCRASTINATING is never a wise choice.

-I saw Yu Wei's sms when I woke up. It said: 'Hey, are you coming today?"

-I saw the time on my handphone. It said 1000am. I was supposed to be attending Drawing Fund. lecture at 8am, and Animation Fund. lecture at 9am. Instead, I was in bed.

-I saw Zhiying's sms. It said: 'Hey, are you sick? Coming today?"

-I didn't see, but I could imagine my attendance marks flying away.

WEDNESDAY

- I saw a girl who looked like Jody on the MRT. The resemblence is uncanny.

-I saw the Mac screen for half the day. Worked on my presentation video without eating anything from 7am all the way to 6pm, when I ate dinner with Nalini at Koufu.

-I saw an Aikido demonstration at Tanglin CC. It was very interesting, but I realized Aikido was not for me. I only have Weiqi as a CCA now.

-I saw Pierre Png a the CC. Apparently he is a master in Aikido complete with Black belt and Black hakama. Wow.

THURSDAY

-I saw the dark sky when I woke up at 5.30am to go to NYP early.

-I saw that I was the first person around the floor when I entered M block at 7.00am.

-I saw the door was locked. I could not go in because I was earlier than the security guard who unlocks the lab doors so we students can enter.

-I saw the Mac screen from 7.30am to 4pm while doing my video.

-I could feel my growling stomach because I did not eat from 7am to 7pm when I returned home.

-I saw stars again when I fell asleep at the 4pm Art and Animation lecture.

-I saw frustration and PISSED-OFFNESS when I realized that I messed up my presentation video and I had to redo everything.

-I saw tears and relief when the deadline for submission of the video was pushed to Tuesday.

-I saw determination in everyone's eyes as we plotted individually to be the first to reach the Maclab on Friday so we can chope a computer for ourselves.

-I saw stress when I remembered there were about 40 Macs in the lab only, and that there were over 50 who had not completed their video.

FRIDAY

-I saw the clock and it said 2.18am

-I remembered I had to get up at 5.30am to chope a Mac.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

KRAUSER FROM DMC SAYS: It's been a fucking shitass agonising week at poly, CAPITALISTS!!

Sick of writing about Orientation, so I'll leave the last day to your imagination. 1st week of poly over, just 16 more weeks to go before end of semester. *jumps off cliff*

Had a presentation on Friday, was shaking in my ass. Presentations aren't my thing. Hope I passed. Ms Grace Head coordinator of DMD Animation was like a machinegun, shooting out criticism, comments, advice and well bladed words like no one's business. If you were late for the presentation you fail automatically. Omfg.

Hope I did okay. Was blabbering a mile a minute like an idoit.

I'm watching snippets of Les Choirestes (sp?) now. It seems really interesting.

Need to work on the new asignments now. More drawing and more thinking. *weeps*

Antic Cafe Ryuusei Rocket Single album photo. Oh MIKU~

SECOND POLY POST 1 APRIL 2009

Haha, I feel completely unmotivated to blog nowadays... so I'll follow Van's ( my sister) way of blogging!

-2nd day of poly was Games day.

-We were to assemble at 8.15am, and it was so bloody early.

-I wanted to curl up somewhere and fall asleep.

-Met Nalini, Sheryl and Adrinna at the YCK MRT station.

-was late, I know everyone waiting at the MRT wanted to kill me.

-Rushed to NYP, Nalini led us through this MAZE shortcut to get the where we were supposed to assemble.

-Was too much in a sleepy daze to remember the shortcut; will die on Monday.

-After hanging around and chatting to my group members we entered DMD lecture hall.

-Had our first 'assignment'- To draw a 10 panel storyboard about a stick figure called Mr Man.

-Uh. I first saw how amazing my classmates are. They are talented. So talented, I feel worthless.

-Spied on the guy who was sitting at the bottom.

-Was freaking out over how he drew every bloody detail out, while mine was drawing style WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM chot shop super fast.

-Handed up our works, then we had lunch. Lunch was okay. Food was not very appealing, but fruit punch was good.

-Went back to the auditorium for group presentation discussion. On the last day, each group had to do a presentation to everyone.

-What horrors.

- Hui Mei was sitting next to me and was using her handphone. SUDDENLY I SAW SHE HAD A GUNDAM 00 BACKGROUND.

- Went 'Hey, I like Gundam 00, Tiera is my favourite!'

-And she laughed and said she liked Setsuna more. I was happy to find another anime fan.

-Can't remember what happened next. I think we had to choose a group name or something.

-Games time. First game was a wet game. The collecting water game with yuor shirts and clothes. Errr. I didn't play, all the guys did. They were very sporting. Ian, a guy in my group just THREW OFF his top like it was nothing. Then the guy in the opposing group also threw off his top.

-Woah. Welcome to poly, sister Valerie.

- We didn't win that game, but the girls were all happy because we didn't get wet.

-Girls in Group 3 (my group) panicked because we didn't bring extra clothes. Thank goodness we didn't have to participate.

-Second game was the pipe one where we had to fill up the pipe with water despite the holes.

-Suddenly volunteered to play. Was I insane or something?

-Got wet. Only one side of my shirt got kind of wet, like I was dipped into water horizontally. A guy in my group, who used his MOUTH to transport water and spit into the pipe.

-Nalini used Angie's shoes to transport water to the pipe, and everyone groaned when the guy, Alfred STILL used his mouth to transport water. Wow. That is mad, man.

- 3rd game was the look-for-a-sweet-in-flour game. Didn't participate. A guy in my class choked on the sweet and was coughing really badly. I think he recovered.

- I didn't participate in the last game, which was to line up our belongings to make a line longer than our opponents. Volunteered my stuff though.

-Singaporeans keep a mountain of shit in their bag. Our line covered one length of the track in the stadium. We even untied and used our shoe laces to make the line longer!

-After that, we played broken telephone. Haha, that was a blast :) The sentence was garbled like shit in the end. But it was fun.

-Games was over. Not as horrible as I thought. Debrief at stadium, we had to assemble at 8 AM THE NEXT DAY. Wow. Earlier and earlier.

-Wanted to weep somewhere because I knew I had to get up at 6 plus.

-Before we left for home, discussed about our group presentation tomorrow.

-We each had to draw a cartoon caricature of ourselves with a cartoon character's body. Wah lao. I knew I was dead. I don't know how to draw realism properly.

-Said goodbye to everyone and went back home.

-Day 2 was over. One more day to go. We received our Orientation goody bags. Had to wear our Orientation shirts on the 3rd day. D:

-END

I think day 2's account was less interesting than Day 1, but on the whole found it more insightful. Day 3 was okay, i guess. Blog about it another time.

Kanon is the bassist for An Cafe. Man, he's stylish. \0/

Orientation post, for the bored who have nothing else to do but read about my experience at NYP Orientation 2009. I'm blogging (and archiving) for posterity as well, you can say.

FIRST DAY (31ST MARCH)

Woke up at 7 plus with cold sweat (Really. I am not kidding.) and freaking my ass off. Never felt so nervous and shitass scared before, save for the O level results time. I was supposed to be at NYP by 8.30am sharp, so I rushed around the whole house preparing my stuff. Spent about half an hour choosing my clothes because I had no idea what to wear. I am anal about choosing clothes. They must look matchy to me, or I'll retry and retry and retry.

Didn't eat breakfast, DASHED to bustop and wished I could bitchslap the 238 bus driver for jerking so much. Was in a foul mood by the time I reached the interchange, mood got worse as the MRT arrived. I stepped in and began to panic as I reached the destination of doom and hellfire.

Probably looked like a geek as I walked to NYP. Followed this crowd of people to the atrium and nearly had a heart attack because there were people EVERYWHERE. They were all queing up in lines and chatting and laughing with each other. Felt so alone and panicky. Wanted to jump down the building and escape.

Luckily, I saw my saviour standing nearby. It was a older guy wearing this bright orange shirt with the words 'NYP ORIENTATION 2009' on it, and holding up a board with some NYP map on it or something. Rushed to him and asked him and asked where the DMD Aimation people should go. He directed me to a girl who was also a senior in orange. She led me and a few others to the DMD Animation queue. Freshmen had to queue up and confirm their names, IC etc etc before being directed to their Orientation group cum class.

Met my class, and played that crapy game called Whacko. I hate that game. It has no meaning in life, besides torturing the players with nonsense. We had to introduce ourselves before playing, and met our OGLS- Orientation Group Leaders Angie and Addy. They were very friendly and tried to loosen the tension on my class, but we were stonily silent. Realized half my classmates had Chinese names; I was one of the few that had a Christian name. Also realized that I would be arrowed in Whacko because 'Valerie' is like a shit common name. I'm in group 3.

Played Whacko, miraculously didn't get hit. I did chat a little to the girl sitting next to me Hui Mei, who was very friendly. Felt bad because I probably sounded like a gruff freak. After a few more moments of awkwardness and nervous nods and smiles among the group, we went to the auditorium to meet the lecturers and cource coordinators.

Are you bored yet? I'm bored of typing.

Course Coordinator Ms Grace Toh was a no nonsense, firm and respectable lady. Immediately told us that this course, DMD needed passion- lots of it. We needed to have the drive, or splash out in the 1st year. I was worried, because I know that deep inside, I didn't think I have the drive. I'm lazy, and I need to work on it. After dishing out some advice, she left us and us freshmen had a talk by the OGLs and in-charge of the Orientation. Fast forward to lunch.

Lunch was okay, because we had packed lunches in styrofoam boxes and we had to sit with our class. I was still a silent zombie then. Even as we walked to the canteen, I was still silent. Smiled a little, said a few words, but felt completely and utterly nerved out. Nalini, a really nice girl in my class even said to me 'You've been quiet the whole time.' I'M SORRY I'M SORRY.

Sat next to Adrinna, Nalini, Sheryl and Hui Ting. And SUDDENLY SOMETHING CAUGHT MY EYE.

Adrinna had A D.GRAY MAN BLACK ORDER BADGE PINNED ON HER BAG. My eyes zoomed in onto that and I immediately perked up. I asked her 'Do you read D.gray man?' And she said she watched the the anime. HOMG YES. Became more chatty after that and more open. Talked a little to the girls, felt better. Xiao Xiao, a very friendly classmate was kind enough to show me where the toilet was. Man, I'm grateful to her.

We went on a tour of the campus after that, and it was super huge. There were facilities everywhere. LIKE EVERYWHERE. While walking around, I overheard Hui Ting and Adrinna talking about EOY and I freaked out. Couldn't help but blurt out I went to EOY 08 ( It's an annual cosplay event in S'pore.) and it turned out that Hui Ting was an anime fan as well. I saw that she had a Ciel (from Kuroshitsuji) badge on her bag, and got excited again. Nothing cheers me up more than discussing about manga and anime, really. Tour was long, and agonizing. I'm fearful that I'd get lost when school starts. Which I think I will.

And the weather was scorching hot, so I was pooped. Just wanted to sit down in the air conditioned auditorium and sleep. My wish was granted when after the tour, we were sent back to the auditorium to have a few talks. Fell asleep completely in my seat which Nalini and Hui Mei found very amusing.

Felt embarassed that they saw me dozed off. OGLs were very enthusiastic, kept forcing us to cheer and do the BOMB game. Which was lame. They kept shouting 'GROUP 3, CHEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR' And my apathetic group would just stare, shrug and give a half hearted cheer. The bomb game was uh. Just uh. I thought I'd never see another BOMB game after leaving IJ, but I guess it's like a classic orientation thingy.

We were dismissed after a few talks by the OGLS, and told the next day (day 2 was games day) Whoopee-doo, hurray for us. We were warned that we'd get wet, dirty etc etc. Getting dirty is okay, ODAC cured that phobia for me, but playing games scared me. I kept imagining what games we'd play the next day. Walked back to the YCK interchange with Adrinna and Nalini. Since Nalini was headed to Bishan, we sat the MRT together and chatted a little.

Finally THE DAY 1 was freaking over, and I could go home and give Chewie a big hug to feel better. Overall, DAY1 was better than I thought. I hope my class doesn't think I'm a crazy, freaky bitch or something.

2nd day post another time. Sorry for the walls of text! xDD

Maya, vocalist of LM.C sticks out his tongue at you xD He wore this in the PV for '88'.

Had loads of fun with Roxanne, Wei Ting, Manwah and Vanessa today. Too lazy to write about the outing to Plaza Singapura, but I enjoyed myself. I was happy to meet Sydney, Abi and Sarah at church too. It's a good day!

Orientation coming in 2 days, so excuse me while I jump off a cliff for the nth time.

2009-03-16T18:52:00.000-07:00

An Cafe- Bou, Teruki, Miku, Kanon. I love their Sex Pot Revenge clothes, and I want to get some, but I'm too afraid to enter the shops selling their clothes... they'll stare at me like I have a third head because I'll seem too out of place? T3T Anyway, I'm bankrupt now...

Bou (with the blonde hair and pink shirt) is so cute xD He's a guy, by the way.

Something very shitty happened today as I was walking to work (alone, as my sister was on leave). I'm in the office now doing illegal blogging but anyway. Its too embarassing to say here. I can imagine a lot of people wetting their pants from laughing too hard if they heard my little tale. *covers face*

I'm so embarassed, my face is still burning red. WTFWTF.

2009-03-08T18:02:00.000-07:00

Abbey Road, An Cafe style. And Miku is hot.

Anyway.

I've been having shitass insominia lately. T.T Can't sleep at night, can't stay awake in the morning. Today was the worst insominia I had so far. Reminded me of the time I was chionging props and my Lero for AFA '08.

Slept at 2am after playing mad rounds of Tetris. I love that game. I thought, 'Okay, its 2am. I should be able to sleep properly la'.

HELL NO.

I tossed and turned the whole time while in bed, because I had suddenly contracted a sore throat from my younger sister. My throat burned and made me cough so much, I sounded like I had an acute case of pneumonia. Or sounded like an old grandfather. Thorat was so dry and horrible but I still managed to doze off, only to wake up at 5am.

Unable to stand it anymore, I stumbled into the kitchen and scared the shite out of my dad (who was washing cltohes as he did so every morning before going for work Thanks man).

I rasped at him 'Did you boil water?? DID YOU?' because my throat was hurting like hell and needed WATER NOW. My dad just blinked at me (probably becasue I suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sounded like HIS grandfather) and nodded.

Drank a gallon of water and only made my throat hurt more because the water had cooled, so it didn't help my throat at all. Stumbled back to my bed and whopee joy couldn't go back to sleep. Shit insominia. T.T

Decided to play Tetris on my NDS after 5 minutes of tossing and turning in bed. Played to 6.15am where I decided to try and sleep again. And woke up at 7.30am because I couldn't sleep no more. Went online to shout at the CPF people and now blogging before I meet Weiting at Yio Chu Kang.

Somwhow along the way of my night adventure, my sore thorat suddenly transformed into full-out flu. So I'm sniffing away and shivering like its -2 degrees celsius while my throat burns like inside a furnace.

This is one shitty start of the day.

2009-03-06T05:06:00.000-08:00

D. GRAY MAN IS FINALLY UPDATING AGAIN! *bursts in tears*

HURRAY, HURRAY!!!

I'll update when somethnig more interesting happens.

By the way. The enrolment process for poly is seriously getting on my nerves which in turn gets on my whole family nerves and Wei Ting's nerves.

Sheesh.

2009-02-20T06:07:00.000-08:00

A picture paints a thousand words.

Congrats, Vanessa. I can totally hear you sniggering away now. So, whaddya want? Jonas Brothers? Miley Cyrus?

And stay tuned for the next lame competition!

2009-02-19T02:12:00.000-08:00

Yo.

I am bored out of my ass, so here's a stupid/retarded/brainless/*insert negative comment here* game for all my Mong Tribal members. Inspired by Vanessa's inability yah.

If by some holy way you can match the names of the Mong to their respective place in the shitty drawing, you win a *drumdoll* rat tat tat tat Drawing by the grand sucker of drawing, Valerie Lim. Yeah. And the prize drawing doesn't necessarily have to be manga-related, so I'll draw Jonas Brothers in their full glorified portrait form if you want.

DISCLAIMER: But it'll be a crappy shit because I can't do portrait drawing to save a dead horse. I am bored of out of ass as I have already said, so please forgive the lameness of the situation.

So yeah. Match 'em up and you only have one attempt for each Mong. So if you guess Manwah is the Mong Tribe Book and you suddenly remembered she's not a book but a human and you want to change your mind, you can't.

So, if you're bored out of your ass too and want to waste time why not have a shot of guessing who is who? Enjoy the lameness of this game!

PS. Jebi, I'm sorry you're not inside because I haven't met you then ;A; But I'll fit you in in the next Mong group thingy I draw, for sure. Anyhoo, guess who's who!

Mong members (in case you suddenly got a bad case of ammesia. (sp?)

Jacq, me, Weiting, Manwah, Roxanne, Siying, Nicole, Mel Ho, Zhixin, Vanessa Ho. And no, that's not the arrangement of the people in the drawing.

T&C apply.

EDIT: I've gotta add rules. I realized it about 6 seconds after I switched off the computer. You can torture me to death if you want, I don't care. This is supposed to be a competition no one will answer to anyway.

Just don't ask or discuss each other who is who, okay? Or worse, everyone gets the answers from each other and ends up sending me the exact same copies of answers. That means I have to draw for 11 people, and I don't want to draw for 11 people. There can only be One Ring To Rule Them All, I quote. First come first served, so the first completely accurate one I see, congrats!

2009-02-17T08:46:00.000-08:00

This is Chewie (Chewbacca) Lim, the family puppy, all-round spoiled brat and supreme master at making people relent; and decided not to thrash him when he does stupid things.

Recently, my computer's internet connection is being a bitch. It keeps on getting cut off whenever I watch a video, use Blogger (it just cut off off even as I type this) or talk online using MSN. I'm not sure if some imbecile is tapping into my internet network and increasing its load or the connection is just having PMS, but it is getting very annoying.

Wei Ting has already seen how pissed off I got when the connection broke down. I was swearing away like a pirate. And the internet connection just flashed and my heart jumped as well, thinking it just down down. But it didn't.

The frequent breakdown in internet connection reminds me of the time I tried to log in to Maple Story with a record breaking 30 attempts. I didn't get in even after the nth attempt, and it pissed me off so badly that I swore never to touch Maple Story even though I had been itching to play it since it was first launched.

My eyes keep flicking towards the internet icon on the sidebar in case it suddenly dies.

I've been rather stagnant at home lately, since work ended at my aunt's office. I've been trying to swear off the computer and actually do something productive, but I'm just feeling so lazy D: I want to go out as well, but I need to save money!! Looking through all the JC entries on everyone's blogs make me wonder how poly will be when it starts. JC-goers seem to really dig their life now. Maybe I should have gone to there, it seems so interesting when I read about it.

This post is getting random xD and boring. So I'll end here. Probably post more if something interesting happens.

2009-01-31T09:55:00.000-08:00

Cherry Saku Yuuki performed by An Cafe.

Well... if you can stand listening to this song ( or even looking at the lyrics) even if you hate J-pop and oshare-kei... you'll find that it's particularly meaningful to the current situation of most people I know. The lyrics were especially poignant. Or at least, it was to me.

I always hate graduations. It's a sign of gigantic changes heading your way.

2009-01-29T19:43:00.000-08:00

I love Kuroshitsuji. The art is killing me! The details and elegance are fantastic; kodona Ciel makes me want to grab all his clothes and draw them on paper one by one~

My CNY was kind of uneventful, compared to everyone else. I spent only the first day visiting, and even then it only took up half a day. The rest of the day was sent at my uncle's house, sleeping on the sofa in my cousin's room xD. My family only visits the elderly relatives... and most of the other relatives just pop over to my uncle's house to say hello and cause a loud ruckus. Not to mention my cousins are kind of.. rowdy.

Reading zx's post made me feel kind of miffed (sorry zx T_T). I can't help but feel that a large part that drives me to enjoy CNY is the angpows. Those red packets containing cash actually chips in a large part of me feeling pepped for CNY, seeing as I don't exactly love my relatives so much that I want to see them everyday save for my uncle K and his family (whom I love).

And I don't like gathering with my father's side, because all they do is ridicule me about my absymal Cantonese and snipe at my lack of branded clothes (wtf?). I was actually ignored by a far-flung cousin when I greeted her. Which thoroughly pissed me off to no end. So yes, angpows are my main moltivation during CNY and not my relatives, for most of the part. I need relatives like zx's relatives!

So instead of hanging out with my relatives at my uncle's house, I preferred to slink into my cousin's room and play my DS with my sis and Natasha. *recluse music plays* Until my cousins on my father side suddenly slammed open the door and barged in. (wtf?) They all began shouting gleefully when they saw we had DSes and we had impromptu Mario DS Kart racing competitions.

So I got kind of excited and began to perk up and get excited xD because I love competing using DSes. Amd I got rowdy myself too, becuase my cousins were destroying me in Mario Kart! One of my cousins whose name I never caught kept on getting 1st while I was on his tail getting 2nd. And they were loud! Which is a big reason why I never liked to see them at CNY.

Well... that was a good rant!

The main cast from Higurashi no naku koro ni Kai.

I finally received my contact lenses yesterday, at the optici8an. Initially, I planned to first try on the contact lenses for about a hour. This was because I thought I would only need an hour to learn how to wear on the lenses, after which I would be able to go for mass at 6pm.

I didn't know that trying on the contact lenses was so agonizing.

One of the opticians was very patient, she gave me the lenses and taught me how to put it on. While I was struggling, she tried to give me tips on how to put it on properly. But I couldn't fit the bloody thing on my pupil because my eye was too damn small, and I had to use my fingers to really stretch the skin at my eyes to fit the stupid thing in. I hate my small teeny eyes.

My eyes were so aggravated by the constant pulling and tugging that they became SUPER red and started to tear up badly. So I had to use tissue paper which was kindly provided by the optician to blot away my tears. I looked like I was watching a sappy drama or something, sniffling away at the seat. Other customers were staring at me like I was an exhibit at the zoo. Why don't YOU try to put on lenses for the first time and see if you're a professional, kind sirs?!

The stupid contact lens just couldn't stick onto my pupil and both my eyes were streaming with tears and glowed red! My dad and sister were accompanying me, and they kept on telling me to calm down and stick it in my eye properly. It was a pitying sight to see myself struggling with a piece of plastic.

There was a group of teenage guys next to me that were buyinng contact lens as well. But they had experience in wearing the lenses, and I could hear them talking about my stupidity in Mandarin. But they were quite kind to give me some pointers on how to put it on and patiently translate it into English for me. I think it was because I was quite frustrated with trying the lens on and it showed on my face; they probably thought I'd turn deranged or something if they spoke to me in Mandarin and I couldn't understand their pointers.

I finally managed to put the lenses on at exactly 6pm. What the hell! I couldn't even reach the church in time for mass! But the lenses were quite marvellous. xD Everything looked crystal clear to me, although the lenses felt uncomfortable in my eyes. At least now, I won't have to squint and blink to look at faraway objects.; or wave back to people who waved at me, but not being able to identify who they are.

I'd like to thank God for listening to my prayers. Thank you for helping me for my 'O' level grades. Although I felt like I still had lots of room for more improvement, I'd still like to thank you for granting my wish. Today seemed kind of surreal. I was mostly in a daze until I had that folder in my hands.

Now, I need more help again. Which direction should I follow!?

2009-01-07T08:40:00.000-08:00

Miniature food that was displayed at AFA '08. 3 plates can fit into my palm; they were really adorable. And they're all edible! I'd probably need at least 20 plates to sate my appetite, though.

Work at CATALOG ended for me today, and I felt it was a truly learning experience. Mainly I learnt never to apply for a receptionist's job because it is agony, always look up to check if you're going to bash your head against the ceiling of the office archives, and best of all: make sure the you work in a place that has lovely cafeterias nearby. The food sold in the nearest coffeeshop from the office tasted... exotic.

I was shelving magazines in the archives-which was housed in this tiny room that I had to climb in and out like I'm climbing into a cupboard and venturing into Narnia- when I got too excited at carrying in magazines that I straightened too quickly. My head banged against the concrete part with a loud 'THUNK' and I screamed bloody murder while knocking into a pile of CATALOG. I think my screams scared the office which the archives was, becuase people dropped their pens and someone muttered 'OUCH'.

Okay that was a stupid part of work.

But truthfully, I really enjoyed my time there. It was enlightening and interesting. I learnt a little about the working world and how cubicle rats are slaves to the establishment and their clients. And exercised a little by carrying big stacks of magazines up and down the stairs.

Results day is on the 12th of August, I think I'd puke on that day. Scarily enough, I've been having extremely detailed and graphical dreams about me getting 19 points for my L1R5. It's been haunting me for days. It's a different scenario each time, but it always ends in 19points.

2008-12-23T03:30:00.000-08:00

Christmas Party 2008 photo, stolen from Vanessa's blog BECAUSE I AM EVIL and high on air now. My sister called me an ageing reindeer because my anthers were drooping. So is Abigail the youthful reindeer?

But truthfully, I can't find the USB pod for the camera, so I can't upload my own photos. Maybe the gremlims stole it, along with the Sec 2 video made in 2006. I searched all over the house for the video because I wanted to present it at the party, but it was MIA. Grah.

In the end, I had to drag my ass to the Bishan MRT without the video. And being 45 minutes late, I was greeted by stormy glares and a killer stare from Jacq. Er, I think I've been late for every single outing this 2008. We bought log cake, and Abigail suddenly materialized from no where and stood next to me.

We had the party at Mel Ho's house, camped out at her lovely book-corner again with our barang and pigged out on frozen grapes and assorted sweets and chocolates. I was lusting over Mel Ho's Outcast book, which she kindly lent it to me while everyone else lusted over the lovely tasting grapes.

After talking, we watched Camp Rock and compared it with HSM while awaiting Zhixin's arrival. I devoured the pizza bread which she brought with her, after which I snacked on the nioh hiang. All these food are doing nothing for my sucky complexion, and I'm making it worse by snacking on fried stuff. Compared Camp Rock and HSM for a while more, then we had the Christmas present exchange. Me and Siying were enjoyed the stack of 8-days that Mel had. Does she subscibe or something?

I find that this post has the air of a matter-of-fact- person, but anyways.

Exchanged Christmas presents, Roxanne got my blanket-under-the-disguise-of-a-towel with lovely Mickey prints on it. I received ZX's lovely bow and snowman skiing ornament, which is now sitting on my bookshelf. Weiting was oo-ahhing over Nicole's present, which was this bag that somehow became a contortionist and could squeeze into the tiny box it was presented in. Everyone was examining their presents while ZX, Vanessa and I took unglam photos with our cameras.

My eyes are bleeding from trying to remember everything now.

We had a photoshoot session with Mel's mum kindly being our photographer, while we wore on Christmas hats and Abi and I wore the anthers. It was fun taking photos. After that, I had a mini camwhore serssion with Abi, taking photos of ourselves. Weiting tinkled with ivory keys of the piano and I tried to accompany her for awhile before giving up, being a noob at music.

Jacq gave me this: -_- when I begged her to play the 'Musician' theme from D. Gray Man. Well, it was worth a try. GRAH YOU JACQ, EVIL THING!

We went to Junction 8 to eat at Yoshinoya, and it was found out that no one was hungry. So... the Yoshinoya plan was to be aborted until the idoit in me felt it would be too embaressing if we left suddenly. Thus I tortured everyone by queuing up to order. I'm sorry, mong gang. Eating at Yoshinoya was forced by me. Was fun talking to Abi, Jacq and Siying at our side of the long table.

Took the bus with Zhixin, who wanted to beat me up because I kept on scaring her about the scary outdoors of her flat. After which I returned home and got attacked by Chewie slobbering at my feet and acting high.

This post is long, and I'm surprised I typed it all out. I had a great time at the party, and I hope everyone did too. See you guys at Results Day (winces) or before that, if possible.

Now, dinner calls.

2008-12-13T08:06:00.000-08:00

Maya, LM.C vocalist and guitarist- plain amazing. Cool guy.

WARNING: Longest rant in an era. Beware of eyes bleeding from the small font.

I got a job! Hurrah! I will be the errand girl at the CATALOG magazine office up to results day. I was extremely happy at first to get a job becase job= salary= Pokemon Rangers: Shadows of Almia= Rune Factory 2= new clothes for the first time in 455676467 months.

However, three days INTO the job and I'm desperate to leave it. Cubicle rats all over the world, my heart feels for you. Having a job is the pits. Pits Pits Pits. I actually find myself missing Chemistry lessons and having recess, because working is just that. Working. Everyone I've complaint to have told me that this is working life, get used to it. GRAH THIS SUCKS.

The difference between working in an office and listening to Ms Koh talk about the Cold War is this: In Ms Koh's lesson, if you start to orbit by sleeping in class or poking Abigail with assorted markers, you won't get in any major trouble with the relevant authorities. However, in the office it isn't entirely appropiate to just plop your head down on the desk when you feel you need a few zzzzzzzs.

Everyone around me in the web designers' office was busy typing, clicking, calling etc etc etc. Just going to the toilet intimidated me because to get the the holy toliet, I had to cross through the intimidation zone. By this I mean the editors and writers' office where everyone is busy at their computers and stare at me when I walk past. Of course, the fact is that everyone in the office thinks I'm a freak. This is due to the first day, where struck with a bad case of nerves, I had a destructive stomachache that caused me to head to the toilet for a grand total of 7 times in 10 minutes.

I knew I should have listened to Man wah and Roxanne when they advised me NOT to take a job yet, becuase the break after O's are for FUN FUN FUN. But the lure of money overides all concerns. Receptionists out there, you have my admiration. Because no goddamed person can sit at the desk for 7 hours picking up calls and dialling numbers. My job is as deceptively simple as a secretary's: call people to check if their email on CATALOG's mailing list is still valid. It's deceptive because the mailing list for CATALOG runs to 1150+.

'This is all for the money' is my mantra at the office. And I'm currently at no. 756 including all the people that did not pick up their bloody phone so I have to call them back. After that, it's straight to Excel on the computer to redo the whole mailing list. I just fear what else I have to do. I feel even more pissed off with myself when I hear about the good jobs that my friends scored.

It feels good to get all this stuff off my ass, even if I sound like a spolit kid who was suddenly condemned to hard labour.

I had a great time today (13/12/2008) though. All I can say is, I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE LIFESIZED KANDA YUU. For whoever gets what I meant, +100 for you.

'O' level results day :15 January. There is jubilation because I can end my work, depression because of my shitty 'O' level performance.

2008-11-26T09:42:00.000-08:00

I'm bankrupt... again. No more going out and eating out. I'm sticking at home for now. My financial status has officially sunk to a new low.

Ms Koh was right. When we were slaving our ass off prepping for the 'O' level exams, we envisioned days ofslacking and enjoying life after mugging. But she warned us that 3 weeks later, we'll call her up and say we're bored to tears.

I'm not bored, but I miss the security of school life. Now, we are free! But we've been under the Singapore's education system for so long that we don't know what else to do, but study study study.

2008-11-12T23:27:00.000-08:00

LM.C Bell the Cat single, Maya is awesome of course.

4 weeks of sheer agony is over. I keep on telling myself that no matter how I fret over my answers, I still can't hop on a plane to Britain and beg the examiners to give me a second chance. But I still feel like I messed up Bio, even if I didn't actually. But no one will ever know.

I daren't think about how the rest of the papers were for me, because it always seems to give a negative effect on my results. I shall possess a neutral mind for results and only start freaking out on January 2009. That's only 2 months away. It's crazy how 2009 is fast approaching. Wow.

There's interesting events on the horizon: Grad night... Chalet, Afa'08... Grad Night is tomorrow. The Table 5 is in the back of beyond, but I'll probably have fun chasing everyone for photos. Or perhaps I'll just hide myself in the toilet.

2008-10-31T07:45:00.001-07:00

Ah... I'm online again. Two more weeks left and I'm counting the minutes. END, O LEVELS, END NOW! We are going to grow up soon. What is together cannot stay together forever. But I still can't buy my own lunch, because I don't want to grow up. I'm a party-pooper, and I'm childish. xD

I hate change, but I am changing once I said that. These sort of reflections are rather stupid, I realize. So I'll go on to more relevant things. Jigoku Shoujo is back with the 3rd season! There's a new straw doll in sight! I'm catching up with the lost time by watchnig all the anime I can get my hands on. Perhaps Nabari no Ou and Code Geass next.

Charge, Chester, Charge!

2008-10-11T09:35:00.000-07:00

1+ am now. I don't know why I'm still online.

The power of the internet is amazing. What it does is generate it's own gravitational forcefield and dimensional vortex- sucking in unsuspecting 'O' level candidates (with weak will) into going online. 'O' levels in a week's time. Countless students are studying their asses off even as I type these words. Commitment is key in this time.

Went for novena today, with Roxanne. First time going for Novena, forgot how intricate the structure of the church was. Was secretly staring at the walls and columns during the novena.

Ajisen's corn butter ramen is delectable. Slurped it up like it was water.

Overslept- due to need of much sleep. Sister switched off my alarm unknowingly... so I didn't get to go for Amaths supplementary... and retrieve my (5 year old G2 fully loaded with ink) pen. Shit. I hope it's still in the 4/4 classroom. I'm unreasonably attached to my stuff. Losing a pen is like losing a goldmine for me.

Wow. It's only a week until D-day. Doomsday. Apocalypse and Hellsong... time really passes quickly! What I'd do to get lost time back!

I hate Amath. My mind tries to create a barrier against it. But amath is nothing against the one evil: Chemistry. The first paper, the first major war, casualties are predicted. Mainly the Valerie side, of course.

Good luck, everyone.

2008-09-12T00:17:00.000-07:00

Found this on Dream Webmanga forum. xD

Haha. I can't really imagine Zac Fron waving a Death Note around and scribbling madly in it, muttering 'I am the God', though.

2008-08-22T21:25:00.000-07:00

Ginji, Ban. 'Platinum' musk-melon.

Been sleeping at 5pm, waking up at 11pm to study after which I sleep at 3am, then waking up at 6am. My day and night time line seems to have blurred into one. I find that sleeping during class breaks and in the morning before class

My night is the day, and my day is the night.

Manwah says I'm destroying my body's natural clock-time, and I think so too.

Prelims, do end soon for everyone's sake!

2008-08-08T10:57:00.000-07:00

LM.C: Maya and Aiji. Oshare-kei, I think.

Abigail is awesome for sending me 'OH MY JULIET'. You rekindled the LM.C craze in me with that song!

Connect Singapore was dysfunctional today. Standing under the broiling Sun for Singapore wasn't the probelm, it was more of the arrangement that was the probelm. Half my class did not realize we were supposed to say the pledge at that particular moment, so we had half of 4/4 reciting, and the other half cottoning on minutes later. And most of the time, we were breaking each other's arms with all the moving and stretching. Tempers flared. It was hard for the organizers to handle such a large event as well. They were running back and forth like crazy.

I'm blogging on school-related stuff again.

Prelims in two weeks, and I've been taking the slow approach to studying. English 'O' level Orals begin next week, and the release of the MT Results is on Monday. It's going to be a week of shit. And tension. Agony.

I'm working on the Personal Qualities testimonial now. It's hard to promote my non-existent good qualities.

Good luck for the Prelims!

2008-07-26T10:25:00.000-07:00

This photo is nice one! I think Vanessa has it as the background of her blog... I like the photo very much! Was supposed to go make jelly at Manwah's house today. In the end it got canceled? And to think we bought all those jelly powder boxes...

I realize that most of the time, the things I post on this blog are related to school. Here's another post on school with the title: PRELIMS ARE COMING IN A MONTH'S TIME.

I haven't cracked open a book at all- time just seems to slip by so quickly, it's insane. Manwah! If you're reading this, send me some brain-cells now! I need your superiority in A-Maths! And E-maths! Why does everyone around me cope so well with maths while I flounder? I'm chewing my fingernails right now in fear of the Prelims.

'Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration'. This line was from the book Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah. So I guess it means everyone must hit the books and study right now!

There is a cold war now. Shit.

2008-05-29T06:54:00.000-07:00

I proclaim: Life is a bitch.

But we all know that.

2008-05-09T17:51:00.000-07:00

Here is my update:

-A D- Gray Man poster featuring an ultra cool Kanda and Debitto... I think this was a frontispiece for a chapter...

-MidYears are over but I still have Bio SPA. After that, it's MT 'O' Levels. Joy.

-I love Nicole's PSP. And the game YS: Ark of Napishtim. If I could I'd buy one for myself.

- I enjoyed the MongNokiah party. Happy belated birthday Mel Ho. And thank you to your parents. They were really hospitable. Whoooo

Yup.

Hello.

2008-01-18T03:59:00.000-08:00

That's Kazuki from La Corda D' Oro- Primo Passo-. Anyone else finds that he sounds exactly like Lavi from D. Gray Man, despite his seiyuu being the same as the seiyuu for Kurosaki Ichigo?

Life as a Secondary Four student is horribly taxing. I find myself feeling sleepy at 11pm compared to 2007, where 2am was the normal sleeping time. The year is filled with tests, then homework, more tests, and homework again. Life has returned to it's usual mundane cycle!

I fear for my 'O' Levels... I think I need to adopt Manwah's work ethic as soon as possible.

'O' levels will be here in less than 10 months! God save the students.

2007-12-20T21:10:00.000-08:00

It's the end of the year 2007... already? Why the hell does time pass so quickly?! You turn around and an hour passes by, turn around again- and a year has gone past. What the hell? The 'O' levels are already pounding at the door! I've not completed my homework, let alone prepare for the war ahead.

Had a great time at the Mong christmas party- thanks for sending me home, Nicole and her father.

2007-11-25T18:53:00.000-08:00

CONFIRMATION ( 25/11/2007) was awesome, really.

We were all supposed to assemble at the auditorium by 5pm, so I was pretty slack in the morning. At 4.20, changed into my dress and stuff- was supposed to meet Beatrice at 4.45. On the way there, I called Roxanne who was already at church. She was panicking because she was alone, and kept telling me to get here as fast as possible. xD She kept asking 'Are you there yet?"

When I reached Risen Christ, felt like running into the toilet- and then I saw ROXANNE. Man, she was bloody cute! xD In this sort of white, frilly dress... really proper and such. And she let her hair down, literally. Looked so different I could hardly recognize her lah. I had to squint like mad before I made sure I said hello to the right person. I think she was shocked to see me, her eyes were 0.0

Waited for a while, and saw Crystal, Nicole and Melissa Chua. You guys looked great- never thought I'd see all of you in a skirt!! Took some pictures, screamed quite a lot, then waited for Beatrice. And Beatrice wore HEELS. It was a complete opposite of what she normally wears- you looked great you God of Comics!

We met Sarah, Sydney and Eunice as well. All very sexy and beautiful- in halter dress and tube dresses respectively. I think we took a lot of pictures, screaming like mad at the same time. Then Vanessa and Abigail came. I think everyone was staring at Vanessa- she was really too pretty for words. Thank you for the presents- Roxanne, Sydney, Eunice.

After a briefing at the auditorium, we all took class pictures and filed to the mass. Couldn't pay attention throughout mass, was feeling nervous. Vienna kept telling me to calm down xD. When the annointing of chrism began, felt so nervous. Thank you godma for trying to keep me calm. When it was my turn, I stood so far away from the Archbishop that he had to tell me to go closer xD And I forgot my words... felt pai seh. Felt a strange sense of peace after getting annointed... no idea why, actually. When we sang the song Power of Your Love before mass ended, Jeremy and Amos decided to act out the last parts of the song- everyone was laughing. They were funny!

After mass ended, we all filed down to the hall for refreshments- and Angie gave us our certificates. She was crying as she did so, and even when we had a group hug. I will miss my class. We are the best class, after all. What am I going to do now Saturday now, I have no idea. After that, me and Abigail went out to go to the toilet and there were so many people outside! Saw Yan Ling first, thank you for the rose!! After that, saw Jody, Marilyn and Kai Ying. Thank you for the roses, thank you! Hurried to the toilet- and when I came back, got the shock of my life.

Roxanne suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pulled my arm repeatedly. Turned around, and saw ZhiXin, Manwah, Vanessa and Jacq. I think I screamed like a mad person- everyone said I looked like i just got punk'd. I'm really touched you guys came- I thought you all wouldn't come. Or maybe you just wanted to see me, Roxanne, Abigail and Melissa Ho in a dress. xD

Went back in and saw Mel, Elaine, Val, Daphne and Marilyn talking to Sarah. I went near them, and they could not recognize me? It was only after a few seconds did they recognize me. Mel was screaming non-stop. Thank you for the roses, guys! And Steph also materialised out of nowhere and gave me a rose. Thank you, thank you!

Took pictures with the Archbishop, had to wear on my capelet to look proper. After that, Angie and Deidre gave us our presents. I was really touched, once again. I owe you guys a lot, thank you for guiding the class during cathecism. I had to leave then, did not get a chance to touch the food. Had claypot rice dinner at Geylang with my family, and the food was good. Ate it all up, because I was hungry. Thank you, my family and godma for celebrating with me this Confimration. I am grateful. Went home, finally changed out and looked through the presents. Angie's photo was really nice! The class looks unglam in the photo xD

As the Archbishop said: The journey of a Catholic does not end at Confirmation. Instead, it is the beginning of the journey.

Thank you everyone, for sharing in the special occasion of this day.

2007-11-10T19:01:00.000-08:00

My current love, Rune Factory (DS console). This picture features the two protagonists, Raguna and Mist. She's the one that I will make Raguna to marry!

Work attachment at Ren Ci (Part Two) Such a long post... xD

Friday was the last day of work at Ren Ci. It was quite sad to leave, even when I couldn't wait for the day to end. The reason was because I got kind of attached to the place... I guess? In the morning, went to meet Clarrisa and Roxanne at Novena... and we all came on time! Haha.. it's the first time none of us were late. Set off to Ren Ci, took Clarissa's much protected secret sky-bridge. Ha, she's still so protective of it! xD

At Ren Ci, we found out Simon the supervisor did not come as he was on MC. Sat down at the lounge area and chatted for awhile, then got up to help Mdm Tan wheel the residents to the function room. They started with a movie that looked suspiciously like Jumong. Later on, they changed it to mr.Bean, and one resident-can't remember her name- found it so funny she kept laughed loudly.

Time skip, as I forgot everything.

Had lunch at KFC, thank you Roxanne, Clarissa, Yan Ling and Sheena for eating with me. I think you all wanted Han's but I was on a budget. Thank you.

When we came back, Mdm Tan wanted us to make CNY decorations with the residents and I got paired up with this auntie who refused to look at me. She kept switching to Malay when I spoke Mandarin, to English when I tried to speak in Malay, back to Malay when I spoke to her in English. In the end, Shi Ming (our leader) wen to help her and I worked with the panda auntie. She is 97, but yet so spry... she kept smiling at me and liked stapling the paper. And she could cut very straight lines, for someone her age. When we finished the paper chain and hung it up, she looked quite happy.

Clarissa wanted us to help her water the plants around the Ren Ci building, so me, Roxanne and Sheena picked up watering cans. I think I fell in love with the pink watering can in the shape of an elephant. It was very entertaining to see water spout out of the trunk of the elephant! Clarissa kept wanting us to drown the plants.

When we were done, we went to see Sammy. This guy is 38, and lives in the Ren Ci home. He's very intelligent- he can remember lots of things and lyrics, despite his illness. Roxanne was fast friends with him, and he was very friendly- he wanted to know all our names and remembered them in less than 5 minutes.

Although he was reading when we found him, he put away the book when he saw us. When we told him it was our last day working here, he was very nice about it- he thanked us for coming here (wrote it on his notepad) and told us to come here another time. He even told us to enjoy our holidays. Sammy was very endearing- he was gracious to us, even when we were leaving. It was quite great meeting him.

I wanted to see goodbye to Mr. Lucid aka Mr TBT. But I could not find him at the wards, and it was quite a pity. I think Mr. Lucid should not be in a home- he's still quite able and strong, and he speaks fluent Mandarin. I don't know why he lives there, and I was afraid to ask him.

We went to say goodbye to the aunties at C2. They were all very nice, and told us to come back another time. The auntie who always called us 'hai zi' or 'child' was very nice as well. When I wheeled her back after the movie, she apologized for being so fat. And she told us to wash our hands when we do things.

I miss the handsoap, the one that smelled so nice and looked so delicious I could drink it up!

All in all, it was an enjoyable yet learning experience. Now all that's left is the written essay and dasy reflection. I understand why we must do it- to show we're actually learning something, but a more than 500 words essay? The teachers ask for so much, that is all I have to say.

Why don't they try writing it, damn it.

2007-11-05T04:47:00.000-08:00

My first long post in... a thousand years. Let's see if I can still write properly.

JOB ATTACHMENT AT REN CI (Part ONE)

The day started with me waking up and refusing to wake up... becuase there is job attachment. Walked around the house in a daze, then decided to heat up breadtalk bread for breakfast. Halfway through eating, I realized I was supposed to have breakfast with Roxanne... but decided not to waste bread. Haha

Was late as usual when meeting Roxanne and Novena Square... 238 bus decided to be smart and come 15 minutes late. Everyone in the bus was checking their watches and frowning. Some people stared at me in the MRT... probably thought I was pon-ing school as I was in my school uniform.

Reached Novena-Roxanne was there, duh. Then I admitted I ate breakfast ,and she admitted she ate breakfast. Then we laughed. xD Spent supposed breakfast time wandering around the shopping centre with Roxanne and Sheena. Met the CIP group at 8.30, headed to Ren Ci and got lost. We wandered around TTSH for a while, before the leader asked the receptionist for help.

Finally reached Ren Ci, got a briefing and then we got a tour. Walked around the 'estate' like hospice... and boom, SINGAPORE'S AGEING POPULATION materialises.

There were a lot of different wards- I think it was separated according to needs. And I realized there was a heck lot of old people in S'pore. It was quite surreal to see them- they looked really frail and such. There were a lot of nurses and caretakers and they were changing sheets and stuff. We were supposed to wheel some old people to the main 'room' to exercise. The helper mdm Tan (?) was really strong. She was like heave and lift the old people, help them sit on wheelchair, strap on belt and ready to move. Efficiency at it's best.

Then we wheeled them out... and it was hell trying to wheel them up the slopes. The helpers must have built up their arm and leg muscles trying to coordinate the wheelchair and the direction. Played some excercise games... there was this cool auntie who was very active, she could drop the ring in the stand no matter how high we lifted it. And this active auntie who was 97 and still so enthusiastic...

Had lunch at Square 2, ate hor fun. Got lost trying to find Delifrance, only to find out from Clarissa that it closed down a while ago. Roxanne made the best buy of her life, spending $29.90 to buy Hana Yori Dango 2. She wanted to buy season 1 as well, but me and Clarissa were 'NO'.

When we came back, sat down in this lounge area and fell asleep. The atmosphere was so conducive for sleeping, everyone was just dozing off. Roxanne was like... head on the headrest of the sofa, don't want to move anymore. I was suspended in time again- half asleep, half awake.
-_-

We had to wheel some residents to the main room again for karaoke. There was this auntie I had to wheel out, and I spoke to her in my crappy Cantonese. Surprisingly, she understood me- HAHAHA. I asked if she was full, and she told me she wanted to drink her kopi. lols

The karaoke was so funny, I never knew malay karaoke existed! That's quite cool! The old folks were all clapping their hands and nodding... then they all drank kopi. While they were having karaoke, we made cards to sell and raise funds for Ren Ci. I realized that one of the songs being karaoke-ed was my father's favorite song... he kept playing it in the car in primary school every day. And I sung along secretly! Roxanne was like 'dots...' when she saw me, lols.

Finally, it was over and we could leave. Me, Roxanne and Clarissa bought Mr Bean soya milk to drink while walking back. Said goodbye to Clarissa at MRT, and then went to comics connection. Roxanne was like debating whether to buy ouran 4 or 1... and she decided to buy 4... and I wasted money AGAIN, to buy D.Gray man. God save me.

Finally went home, immediately started reading my vol 8. Thus ends the first day.

3 MORE DAYS TO GO, PEOPLE.

2007-10-19T05:15:00.000-07:00

Well... I changed my skin.

After eons!

Don't feel up to a long post. Maybe later?

2007-09-27T00:58:00.000-07:00

I f*cked up my English paper. Missed out the apology, thank-you and 2nd painting in the internal memo, completely missed the point of the topic in the long essay and forgot what 'penchant' meant in the comprehension.

I need to do well for English to boost my math, but it looks like it's too late to redeem myself there.

God.

2007-09-15T21:05:00.000-07:00

When you've fallen into a chasm
God throws down a rope and tells you to hold on tightly
while he pulls you up

But you say that you're too scared to grab it

When you're struck by an incurable illness
God gives you the name of a hospital
which has medicine that can cure

But you say that you're too weak to leave the house

When you pray every night to him
and ask him to help you pass your exams
He provides help in the form of revision

But you say you're too lazy to do it

When the report books are returned
and you failed four subjects, you ask

"Why didn't you help me, God?"

God will only help those who help themselves. And I learnt it the bloody hard way.

Exams are near, and it's time to start studying.

2007-07-06T01:45:00.000-07:00

Found in the Ouran high host Club Winglica Fanlisting Gallery...

With that...

THIS BLOG IS OFFICIALLY DEAD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

WHOOOOOS! <3

2007-06-21T16:26:00.000-07:00

Shinku and Hinaichigo. So damn elegant and cute. Unyuu...

Rozen Maiden/ Rozen Maiden Traumend. I recommend this to everyone...If you can get past the bloody licensing. GAHHHHHHH, SO DAMN CUTE!!! HINAICHIGO ALL THE WAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

I'm thinking of closing down this blog. It is so dead... and I'm too lazy to update the links or change the blogskin. And my posts are getting shorter and shorter... I don't think I'll be updating anything soon after this post

Db competition tomorrow. Good luck, big boat and small boat divisions! I shall be sitting at the grass, cheering you guys on. Not rowing this year, because I'm rubbish at dragonboating. Don't have the strength to support the back pack.

School starting on Monday. GAH. Haven't even done all my homework, and I'm seriously regretting not doing my homework in the first two weeks. Why are the holidays ending so fast? Why can't they stretch it for another week or something...

Then again, I would probably procrastinate even more.

2007-06-06T05:57:00.000-07:00

Awwww!!! Haku.....

Van brought home this book called 'Art of Miyazaki's Spirited Away'. It had all the production notes, character and building sketches, commentary, colorings.... It revived my love for Spirited away.

Went to Abigail's house for a movie marathon today, with Weiting, ManWah, SiYing and Vanessa. Wasted so much time choosing one movie, we all wanted different things. In the end, watched Eragon while pigging out on Abigails' snacks. Thank you, Abigail and Abigail's mother!

Roxanne came halfway into the movie, and we were all agitated when Brom died in the movie. I still remember that phrase... 'one part brave, three parts fool' hahaha

After lunch, we had to pick a movie, and fought again. Abigail had so many movies, and we didn't know what to watch... Covenent or something or something... Made Weiting chose with her eyes closed, and then she chose Mr and Mrs Smith. It was damn funny, everytime WT picked up a case, everyone started screaming and asking her to choose again.

But no one but me wanted to watch it so we watched Mr. Deeds. It was quite funny, and nicer... more humor to cheer us up from Eragon. Went to Abi's room and SiYing got so interested in the jackpot machine, she kept playing it. And everyone kept going to the toilet. Drank too much Ice Lemon Tea.

Went to J8 and walked around... I don't know why we kept on walking into shops and not buy anything... I think I should have bought a voodoo doll to add to the family...

A good day, in all. This is for Zx, who missed it. And Mel, who wanted to go?

2007-05-28T20:50:00.000-07:00

Whoos! Allan is one cool dude. Though Kanda is ten times better.

D. Gray man.

Hm... haven't updated in ages. I think this blog is slow, but surely dying. I've been to lazy to update...

Bloody school holidays. Firstly, they're not even school holidays at all. Someone should rechristen it 'Stay at home and have school' days. What is the point of settling aside a couple of weeks of break, when we're all gonna use up the 'break' to study anyway?

What the hell is wrong with Singapore? In other countries, they have holidays as long as TWO MONTHS, with minimum homework. But here in workaholic Singapore, the teachers are all going ' Oh, this is already so little. We didn't want to tire you, so we gave you less.' or 'Make use of the holiday to study, okay?'

Erm... according to the Oxford Dictionary,

'Holiday' is defined as 'days of recreation'. You see any reference to 'work' anywhere?

Yes, I know I'm not eligible to say all this because my L1R5 scores are not good. So apparently, only clever students are allowed to take a holiday? No wait, everyone has to study. Because the country aims to get a few million mindless robots by the time graduation comes. 'O' levels is coming soon, and I get it, but honestly. Is there even a chance to giving us a holiday with no homework?

No, December holidays don't count because we have to do homework to be handed up NEXT YEAR. And they don't even mark it. Maybe I'm a fool for actually DOING the book report (in2006) that we were SUPPOSED to hand up this year.

I guess this is what you call, 'C'est la vie'. Or something like that.

That's life.

Yes... Rena-chan... you and that lovely machete of yours... yes. They are the same girl. Just something I have a fixation on... Higurashi no naku koro ni.

I'm not gonna write about Spiderman 3 because 1) it happened a week ago, many people have written about it. Check their blogs if you want. 2) If I keep on raving about Venom and the stupidity of Peter Parker when he thinks he's the bomb, the post will be an essay. 3) I just don't feel it anymore.

Got my marks back... and they are the pits.

I'm really disappointed in myself for making that f*cking mistake about short-chain polypeptides and the color pink. As for the rest of my subjects...

nothing much to say, I guess. I can't possibly say anything about 'C's, can I?

The holidays are coming... peppered with db training. I wonder if I can keep up with everyone who are experts...? Somehow, I slouch when I row and keep sliding out of the seat. And when it's time to charge... I can't go for long.

Pathetic is I...

...

That's it, I guess. A rather random post...

The face of evil... OROCHIMARU! He may be sick and psychotic, but he's one of the best antagonists in anime.

Haha, this blog has been dead for awhile, hasn't it? Been busy doing notes for mid-years. Exams start TOMORROW!!! And why am I still online? Hahaha... I know I'm going to fail for all the exams anyways...

I'll be burning midnight oil tonight, for SS. The BHS and The Medifund and Medisave and Sri Lanka and all that... and CL 1! The letter writing always makes me cry with exasperation. But back to SS...

SINGAPORE PROPAGANDA!

Yup. That's about all I have to say. This blog will be dead until after exams! Good luck, everyone!

I think this must be one of the best Hitsugaya CG-ed work Ive seen. The dragon from his bankai looks awesome. Funnnily enough, I never really likeed Hitsugaya that much, but this CG-ed work changed my opinion of him.

Haven't updated in ages. Zx said I lost my fight. Is that true?

The mid-years are coming soon and I'm starting to feel the pressure. I haven't been doing well for my CAs ( I think I failed Chem and History) so I have to buck up for the mid-years or the end-years will be doomed. And yet I can't summon the energy to start doing notes. I've been slacking too much and it has become a habit...

I think I'm going to end up in ITE, with my sort of attitude...

2007-03-22T01:26:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had a day where you felt like killing yourself? Today was such a day for me.

I hate my absolutely grosteque (sp?), fking tactless and unsensitive mouth. Shoot me down and kill me, please. I fking deserve it.

I am an amateur at public relations. I have no idea how to make it in life with my sort of attitude.

I know why people hate me.

I hate myself.

HEYHEYHEY! Happy Lunar New year, everyone!!!! GONG XI FA CAI!!!

You may be wondering how I find the time to post this on the actual day of CNY. It's 7.23am now; and just to go online, I woke up extra early at 6am. If not, I'll be snoring now.

Whatever, as least I can enjoy myself before going visiting. Everyone, be sure to collect lots of hongbaos!!

And to my sister, Victoria... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU'RE TEN AND IT'S TIME TO WASH YOUR OWN DISHES AND STOP ACTING LIKE A SPOILT LITTLE MISS!!!!

2007-02-16T23:18:00.000-08:00

EVERYONE, WATCH THE NEW SEASON OF NARUTO, NARUTO SHIPUUDEN!!!!!!!!!

It's so fking nice and matches the manga chapters exactly. Plus Sasuke appears in the FIRST EPISODE!!!! And the starting and ending themes are fantastic. My interest in Naruto anime has been resurrected after a two years.

Life sucks. I can't go to school today because I have the flu. The fcking flu. Because of it, I'll be missing A Maths, and when I go back, I'll probably not understand a single thing, going 'HUH??' every five seconds. And I can't do the homework because I'll be clueless about it. No teacher will be sympathetic, of course. They'll probably scold all the sick people getting sick. That's how twisted the scholastic system is. Also, I will be using this post to vent my anger.

A message to a certain idoit ( it's not you)

You're such an asshole. I ask you for one fking favour, and you tell me no. It's just one stupid thing that does little to inproverish your richass lifestyle, and you can't even do it? You don't even have to stay up so late to do it. All you have to do is leave the piece of shit on at night and it automatically does everything.

But NO YOU STILL REFUSE. And you give me such a fking paltry excuse, saying watching those type of shows will cause a decline in my academic studies. Hello, YOUR OFFSPRING IS A GAMEBOY ADDICT AND AN INTOLERABLE PERSON WHO LOVES TO CAUSE CONFLICT AND CAN'T DO CHINESE HOMEWORK AND ACTS JUST LIKE YOU AND YOU SAY I'M THE ONE WHO WILL BE GETTING A DECLINE IN ACADEMIC SCHOOLWORK BECAUSE OF A FEW SHOWS??????

Since when do you actually care about my schoolwork anyway? I had the unshakable feeling that you only cared about whether McRitchie Reservoir had enough slopes to slide down on. And now, you give me a snooty face and a majestic 'no' while turning up your nose at me. You're fking lucky I was in an amiable mood today, or I would have ripped out your oesophagus and flung it into the reservoir area you love so much. It's just a small favor and you say no. Erm, shouldn't the wealthy help the poor? Shouldn't the well off help the poverty? SHOULD'NT A RELATIVE HELP A RELATIVE?????

I'm so worked out now, my fingers are trembling. God am I pissed.

HERE IS MY EXCUSE FOR TYPING OUT THIS MESSAGE TO YOU

YOU ARE A DEPLORABLE PERSON, WHO CAN'T EVEN HELP A RELATIVE DO A SIMPLE THING. YOU GIVE THAT STUPID EXCUSE TO SHIELD YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU JUST CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO HELP ME.

YES, PERHAPS I AM A CHILDISH BITCH MYSELF. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO STAMP OUT MY INDIVIDUALITY AND SAY THAT ME LOVING ANIMATION WILL CAUSE AN DECLINE IN MY STUDIES.

IF YOU SEE THIS POST ( YOU MOST PROBABLY WILL SINCE YOU ACTUALLY HACKED INTO MY SISTER'S BLOG AND CRITISISED HER POSTS.) DON'T BOTHER TELLING MY PARENTS ABOUT IT. HOW ABOUT YOU REPRIMAND ME YOURSELF AND SHOW YOU HAVE A BACKBONE???????!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah. Gong Xi Fa Cai to you.

2007-02-10T06:12:00.000-08:00

I forgot. This skin is dedicated to Manwah, my sensei in the art of manga drawing. This picture of Kirara is for you. You're the King of the drawings, you talented person.

2007-01-26T00:31:00.000-08:00

Let's see... I'm second from the left, next to Val. This was taken... I forgot... last day of school? I miss 2/4 '06.

Gee. Haven't updated in ages. Sorry, Zhixin, for not updating. Whats HCF by the way? I'm guessing it's not Highest Common Factor.

I'm crammed with so much A Maths shit, I only have friday and saturday to go online... and it sucks. Haven't been doing well in school lately. A Maths is driving me down. Today was the first test and I lost 5 marks ALL BECAUSE OF A BLOODY FACTOR.

THE F*CKING QUESTION WAS SO EASY TO SOLVE... IF I KNEW WHAT THE F*CKING FACTOR WAS!!!!!!! INSTEAD, I WASTED 15 MINUTES TRYING -1 and 1 OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IN THE END, I LOST 8+++++MARKS.

OH, JOY.

( I don't know why i'm getting so agitated...)

Well... one good thing about school is my fitnes, I guess. During ODAC training, we ran 12 rounds and I didn't even lag behind once, or have breathing difficulties. As for the 30x2 storeys steps, I talked to Hilary (sec 2 junior) about anime and we went on and on, right up to the 30th storey.

Anime numbs the brain. And my fitness improved. Maybe 2.4 will be easily from now on...

Well. Won't be updating for awhile. I never wrote such a long post for a long time.

Later.

HOHOHOHO!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE!!!!! IT'S 9.54 IN THE MORNING, 2006/12/25!!!!!

Ahehehe.... I am into the christmas mood...sort of. Woke up early, just to go online before Christmas party starts. It starts at 12... and many people will be coming.

bleh.

But there's alot of good food, my mum's been cooking nonstop since 7 plus. And YEAH MAN. got my desired presents... a hongbao, Nitnendo DSlite and Pokemon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon. Been playing nonstop.

Once again, wishing you a merry christmas and a happy new year.

God bless your little squirming blood pumping heart.

Asakura Yoh from Shaman King. Haven't watched it for a long time.

Holidays are ending...

Nanao the hedgehog. Has a nice ring to it. Feel free to feed it a strawberry. You can say Nanao wants to eat Ichigo to save him from Rukia and Orihime. xD

Thanks to Man Wah. Found it on her blog and got curious.

2006-12-05T02:15:00.000-08:00

hahaha... really? Cool.

Thanks, Mel. Got the quiz from your blog.

Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo. It's a fantastic anime, with stories about revenge. And the drawings are nice too.

Finally got my one star for kayaking. yes, it's the most basic achievement, but the past two days were fun- especially the second day, when I could finally kayak straight. My sidedraw is still a failure though. Was the only one that could not complete the assessment.

Ahe... I finally got a certificate... and it's for a SPORT. Who could have guessed?

Watch this animation. The bloody thing made me tear up like crap because it was so sad. It's a fantastic show, and I recommend it to everybody. Saw it on Roxanne's blog, and I'm glad I watched it.

KIWI, YOU ROCK.

Picture done by Natsuki Takaya, colored by Ryuji from Winglica Forum

Sweet picture, right? It's Tohru and Kyou from Fruits Basket volume 21--- Just finished reading the whole book---- it was fantastic.

Went wallclimbing-- belaying (sp?) with ODAC on Wednesday, it was tiring but ultra fun. To climb to the top felt great, even if I did cheat by removing my shoes so I could climb better, ahehe... Got scared during the zipline... because the tower was three storeys tall and I have a bad fear of heights. Screamed all the way down.

Wall climbing is the best--- everyone, you gotta try it out! And Death Note is nice too, although the movie cannot beat the manga series.

And.. who reads posts from my blog nowadays? Everyone thinks it's dead...

2006-10-26T03:11:00.000-07:00

Hyuuga Negi from Naruto... done with black inking. What do you think of it? Listening to all the OP now.

SCHOOL'S OVER. AWESOME.

But even without school, ODAC's still on.... throughout the whole of November. Man... there are so many activities, it makes my head spin.

1) Kayaking- I want my one-star!!! This, I'm looking forward to. Only probelm, I'll have to do the course without Sarah and the rest. Meh...

2) Wall climbing and normal training- Wall climbing.. not so bad. Could be fun..? Normal training.... Urgh.........

3) Camp- Third camp in the year, this time, I hope I can be more outspoken to the rest of the odacians. So far, I've been shying away... I've been told numerous times I have low self -esteem.
I just don't know what to do, man....

This takes up almost 3/4 of November...

2006-10-17T04:08:00.000-07:00

I am listening to No Boy No Cry (Naruto 6th opening) now. Trying to drown out everything. Mp3 volume at 18. *_*

Exam marks.... got them back.

....... I'm only proud of my English ( scraped an A2...)

And I ripped up my Chinese composition, HAHA! It's in 10 pieces now and impossible to fix. Mel, Jody and Roxanne had to restrain me from lunging at it again and again. In the end, Mel had to hide it from me while Jody pushed me back. I got it back later though, but I had to promise not to rip it up again.

drama, lol.

And lao shi saw me hold a piece of the composition paper and had to sit down and tell me why I failed so badly. Her reason was that my plotline was out of point and that I could only gain sympathy marks. In conclusion, I only scored 10 out of 50 marks for the composition.

Never got so low before.

2006-10-12T02:15:00.000-07:00

MY HEAD!!

HURTS LIKE HELL. Someone is going to get the blame for that.

And school is starting tomorrow.

To irritated to write a proper post.

2006-10-04T22:03:00.000-07:00

.... Haven't posted anything in a long time.... just couldn't be bothered. But I got energized with the new skin, so...

... exams are almost over.... only two more to go.

HAPPY.

A lovely picture, in my opinion. It completely destroys the ambience of my blogskin.

Haven't updated for quite some time, but decided to just leave a short post. This past week has been crazy, only managed to come online today, out of the whole week. CAs are coming soon too, but I haven't really made the effort to revise yet... I'm been bowing to the God of sleep so often.

Sunday- Blacked out during homily at mass.
Monday- Fell asleep for an hour during studying
Tuesday-Dozed off before school started for half an hour. Dozed off again in the afternoon.
Wednesday- Fell asleep after running 15 rounds during 0dac. While the seniors played at the conditioning area, I was with the Sec Ones at the gallery steps. They gossiped, I fell asleep.
Thursday- Fell asleep for three hours despite forcing myself to stay awake. Managed to learn some History at around 1am.
Friday- Stayed awake for the whole day! The God of Sleep is GONE!!

I'd better put in some effort during these few days. It's just that History is boring.......... T_T

Changing my skin soon, to something darker....

First itime poster done using Photoshop... sucks alot, I know. Rukia's hair is abit smudgy.

Haven't updated in a really long time I see...

Oh well. I shall update now. And you know what...? Its aboyt 7.30 now, and where I'm staying at... the skies are like light pink with streaks of orange and lavender. it looks really great, but i can't take a picture of it....

Anyway.

I just found out this really... 0.0 thing during Literature lesson a few days back. We were doing Journey's end notes and was so bored and all. I had placed my file on the table to easily get my stuff. Then suddenly, Ms Chye walked by and saw the drawing of Rukia and Ichigo and said,

" Hey, you draw Bleach very well."

My Literature teacher likes Bleach??

Me and Elaine just stared at her, then Elaine started to laugh. I just blinked at Ms Chye, then she was like...

" What, you mean a teacher cannot like anime? You know, I watched Bleach up to episode 86."

She even keeps up to the latest episodes. It's so weird man... that my teacher actually likes anime....... still can't believe it.I was still gaping over it during today's Literature.

And she likes Fruits Basket... FullMetalAlchemist and some others as well.

Amazing.

Yes, this is the correct blog, you're not sent to another blog. But... this blog is a bit too bright for me. But somehow, I think it's really cute... and it relates to me. Besides, it's time I changed the skin. I was getting bored of the old one.

Amazing....

... School sucks. What's the use of calling it a holiday... when there is so much homework? But i guess I understand why they give us so much... doesn't mean I like it though. And I'm changing the blog skin soon. Even I'm sick of seeing Ichigo.

What the hell am I talking about?

+Death and the strawberry+

2006-05-19T22:50:00.000-07:00

Chii from the manga Chobits. The manga's great, but it's abit too mature for me....though Chii is really cute.

I shall say it now. I hate Singapore schools. One reason is because of CCAs. The second is becuase they idolise camps. Damn it. Anyway, this June holiday will not be a holiday mainly becuase of school and my CCA. I hate school, I only attend it for my academic development and education. So why must I join a CCA? Leadership and all that crap is of no importance to me. That's why the school sucks. Moving on.... I have dragonboating on alternate days, ODAC camp for three days, church camp for two days and if I get selected, more dragonboat training. And CIP.

Fcuk.

To all those who feel so passionately about CCA, good for you. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy CCA. It's a rock barrier for me. I join up because it's compulsory. And camp. I hate camp. Interacting with people who think I am a snobby ass is not high on my list. CIP is worse. I do not want to be involved in community programs. It is a waste of the goverment's time to spend so much on this shit. After analyzing all the stuff and the calender, it's just a normal school involved month.

What is the point of having a holiday when it's not even a holiday? For those that think I should just lock myself up in a shell, I'd love to do that. Thing is, I can't. So stop thinking that I'm an irritating person becauseI hate the things you love. I know I'm one of those annoying people.

Ah, whatever. Hopefully, I can get pneumonia and die.

Auel...is.. so...cool.... *blinks* Ahem. Yes, Auel is so cool, from Gundam Seed Destiny. Why must he die!!!!!????? Crap...

Anyway, went to watch MI:III with Zhi Xin, Vanessa, WeiTing, Roxanne, Man Wah and SiYing on Monday...thought it would be boring, seeing as I don't really enjoy action flicks, but it was... AWESOME. Especially the part at the Vatican, and the last part was heart stopping. When Ethan's brain was going to be ruptured and all... it was scary. I kept on grabbing Roxanne, who was beside me.

And Agent Zhen ( Maggie Q) was so cool and calm. When she stepped out of the car in that gown, everyone was like..'wah'.... lol. And her orange car was so cool. The Lamborgimi ( sp?) was amazing, but why did they blow it up!!!!!??? It was fantastic, and so slick... lol.

And the guns were fast and slick too. The machineguns and all... fantastic. I give this 4 stars man....

*Grins madly* Guess what. The exams are over. OVER. which means... it's time to enjoy! Time to read comics! Time to relax! Time to listen to my mp3 while eating snacks at 5pm instead of doing homework!! *grins madly again* I've been waiting for this day....

Changing my skin soon... but I don't know what skin to choose...

2006-04-11T08:11:00.000-07:00

Sigh...Gaara's cool. Cool. Right..haven't updated in a long time. So here's a recap on the going ons of my boring life.

1) PFT- Was okay.. I think I can scrape a Gold if I'm lucky... 2.4 walk/run took the shit out of me, but surprisingly, I survived, at 16.13 minutes. Big improvement from my old record of 17.45.. or something.

2) Dragonboating- Fun...in a way. But its tiring for a person like me... who hates exercise. I don't think I'll get selected for the competition. I don't really want to to chosen anyway.

3) Debate- Haha, this one was funny. We were the prop against Cheryl's group, and we were getting so hyped up that we started at 'wealth leads to happiness' and wnet over to ' undesirable jobs of a toilet cleaner'. Then Elaine suddenly jumped up and said something really funny.. but it's up to her to tell about it.

4) Exams- Exams for the mid-year coming, and I'm getting really nervous... i still don't understand Maths. I don't think I ever will. Sheesh.

Well... that's about it I guess... hmm... changing my skin soon...
