I am quite sick of that song I will dream of britney spears tonight, hopefully justin timberlake will appear along with her, they can have a fight (:
fun two days ahead KARAOKE MUAHAHAHA BABY WE'LL WIN THIS ONE MORE TIME!
had a very fun and exciting weekend.
TALENT VOGUE II on friday was great found out some things that I still do feel sorry for, had alot of fun in the spirit of halloween, and was basically quite an ideal end to the weekday part of the week!
Yesterday had dinner with qiaoyoke, maria, yingx, shawna, rachael at ion then we watcher CORALINE in 3D the glasses are so heavy and weird. but the art person behind coraline is such a genius, everything is put together so flawlessly and artistically it's amazing. Then we made our way back to my house for horror movie sleepover after eating free frozen yogurt the guy is too nice to customers!! so chael and yingx left but huimin and shiyin joined us, and 6 people huddled together in front of the tv under layers of blankets and screamed ad JU-ON (or so we thought it was). well it wasn't even that scary, and that's because I accidentally rented JU-ON (THE PREQUEL) instead of the real JU-ON. I can just imagine them laughing at me about it for ages to come, sigh.
We watched THE EYE too, but that was so unscary that we fell asleep watching it! in between all of that we had a really heavy supper that shawna somehow managed to resist, got pretty sick at night but i recovered by the next morning.
went to have prata for breakfast at casuarina curry and then came back and started on 314's karaoke rehearsal. so stephcai, me, maria, huimin, linnette and elaine spent the whole afternoon finishing up and practising the dance for HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME! in between that, funny videos, stupid things and a whole lot of fun, though I was so tired and sweaty after that.
well, the week is going to be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I will sleep early today and hopefully tomorrow I'll have a whole lot of energy.
SHAWNA UPLOAD PICTURES!

CHEERLEADER STEPH
It's been an awesome weekend, more details in the next post.
Have you ever felt like sleeping away 24 hours, I do now.
/edit
We had Sports Presenters Presented on Friday, it was actually pretty fun. Took many pictures with stephleong and her cool camera, went opposite to botakjones for dinner after. And when we went back the talent audition thing was still going on so somehow we ended up performing on stage last-minutely, just a mess of singing, prancing around, waving hands, unpreparedness and basically a whole lot of fun!!then all the other sports presenters came on stage and joined in and jump jump happy happy. wow.
Returned to RGS for Richard House Comm Camp after the event at about 9ish?but the bus stop gate was stupidly closed so I had to walk one big round back to the gymnasium, (which happens to be right beside the bus stop gate). think my feet were completely blister-filled by then and painful hahah, guess I've learnt my lesson (bought a new pair of FLATS the very next night at ion!but more about that later)
yes so house camp was great fun, discovered inner ballerina instincts :O:O natural talent muahahaha. played games and game shows and other fun activities. I marvel at how forgetful I can be though. Well, since I arrived only at 9+ so I had to go bathe alone, so I grabbed my stuff and walked to the toilets, before realising I'd forgotten to bring my shampoo soap and all that. So I trudged all the way back to the kschee, and then spent another half an hour hunting for toilets with shower cubicles!! I swear I looked into almost every rgs toilet possible before finding one. And the blisters hurt when I onned the shower in one full gush ):
After camp I would usually go homje and plonk on the bed into a deep deep slumber, but mom wanted to shop so then I went home, showered, and immediately got whisked off to ion. It was pretty eventful though I bought a pair of flats as I said just now, and I wore them today they're so comfortable compared to the heels on Friday. And two "outer wear" jacket like things for London. Cardigans? But one of them doesn't actually keep warm I can wear it in Singapore yesss it feels so good to shop after such a long period of deprivation.
today's training was pretty fun and crazy dancing prancing around making stupid faces. After training, went to funnan and BOUGHT MY LAPTOP (WHICH I AM USING NOW!!!!) AND EARPHONES. wow, finally got the two things I need so badly.
currently overflowing with happiness, would change the mood on this post from the lame 'predatory' to something like 'jubilant', but PREDATORY was how I felt when I originalyl posted this without the edits, so I'll leave it there,
well, but just so you know,
I FEEL MORE JUBILANT NOW THAN PREDATORY :)

Yesterday was a great day, and the start of many great days. Well, guess what, the period of time (this week) that I dreaded all of last week is over, almost. Did I ever explain why I dreaded it?right, this will be brief. I dreaded having more exams after everyone's ended, I dreaded the staying up to the prep studies for SAP, I dreaded the SAP theory test, which is basically 7 essays in 2 hours, I dreaded everything of this week that I really did think would be horrible. But you know, it didn't turn out that bad afterall.
Well, first of all when exams ended for everyone on Monday I spent an amazing day out with people that I'm so glad I'll be with for another year next year. As many others have said, our class is unbelievably, amazingly lovely. After spending quite awhile with them doing fun things, witnessing how bad stephsiow and huimin are at lying, singing stupid songs, I had dinner with family at this japanese restaurant in wheelock which has such great ambience and food, gosh I love that place with their dim lights fake winter trees and perfect location to look out through Wheelock's transparent walls. I always feel SO HAPPY whenever I'm at Wheelock the sharpest point of Orchard. and we went to Ion after just because, somehow, for some reason, my brother hasn't visited there yet. So that was more eating of icecream and frozenyoghurt, shopping, and I FELT SO FREE DESPITE THERE STILL BEING SO MUCH MORE.
well, after that I endured all the remaining exams I had and they fine. The last one ended yesterday and I'm glad that's the last I'll be seeing of RGS foolscap and string for quite a long time.After my last exam of this year, I watched 500 days of summer with yingx. heh I was 15 min late for the movie so that was the first time ever that I came out of train at orchard station and ran for my life all the way to lido, with the shoes clanking on the floor the whole way and people giving me weird looks.
had dinner with her at wisma and by some coincidence, jodyhong happened to be there as well! so we could conveniently go to SYOGOC together after, with stephleong too of course. had rehearsals and all that technical stuff at the same old place in that building. skip, skip, skip. The meeting actually ended quite late compared to all the rest, can't remember what time though. So jodyhong, myself, stephleong, dewei and kenneth went to macs to fulfill their hunger. I marvel at stephleong and her MEGAMAC, kenneth and his FRIES WITH EXTRA SALT(wth!) right so we talked and okay that was the end of a great day.
I have a feeling my boring narrating made it all sound pretty boring, but it was a great relief from all the work in the week.Met qiaoyoke the neighbor for breakfast at the market that was burnt down this morning. woke up at 8 that's so rare for me!had porridge and youtiao yes you're right the youtiao there is so good. went home and spent a relaxing 6 hours lolling about at home watching tv, reading everything interesting in the newspapers and then taking a nap of uh 3 hours. it's a slowmoving day but even though I still have extendedpaper due on tuesday, it does feel like I'm completely free. life is great when you don't need to care about later, and all you need to do is live in now!
right so now i've returned to a moment where for the last time, I'll care about the later to try and type something decent for my EP, I foresee a difficult 2 hours doing this considering there are probably no history books out there comparing marie antoinette's fashion with kate moss'. You can probably guess what's the topic of my EP now!
I have 2 more days to finish all this from scratch YES WISH ME LUCK I WILL DO THIS. enjoy the long weekend everyone, the days are just going to get better and better from now.
ANTICIPATION!!
p.s. I drew so much over the past few days I'm glad I kept the originals for myself and only stuck the photocopied drawings onto prep studies. Those form my first set of theme-based marker drawings and it's pretty significant cos it's the first time I use marker for my entire prep studies. will probably be staying with marker for a long time now I'm so accustomed to it I can't even remember how to do pencil. Should probably force myself to relearn that skill sometime soon. AFTER TUESDAY, ALL IS POSSIBLE :)

been almost completey caught up with all that there is to do, but i finally got myself to stop whining incessantly and start taking some action. it's ss tomorrow, by far my favorite subject second to history. so let's just hope the exam won't be that bad an experience tomorrow eh! found these, they're pretty retarded, but the original quote itself is useful for SS!The Original
ORIGINAL:
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”
IMPROVEMENTS:
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you will not have to listen to his incessant whining about how hungry he is.”—Author unknown“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you can sell him fishing equipment.”—Author unknown
“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.”—Author unknown

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and he will sit in the boat and drink beer all day.”—OldFox
goodluck and i think it's always comforting to know that at the end of it all, we're not the only ones being puzzled over a pink piece of paper, or a diagram, or a paragraph of incomprehensible text. more often than not, there's probably some other soul out there staring blankly into space, being confused.
I am constantly comforted by the fact that in anything we do, we're not alone (:
I'm also constantly disgusted by the fact that I can be the most cheesy person in the world when I feel like it.

damn the thickness of history notes. two highlighters ran out of ink by the time i finished that 28-page long monster (:
had a great time out with jodyhong, stephleong, matt, julius and kenneth on friday night. we went bowling after dinner and it's been so so long since I've bowled normal games with a house ball, and I think I have forgotten how to do it. probably bowled worst than any single one of them ahhaha at that moment I actually missed my guard and darling fury. We were at city hall-ish so we could hear the F1 noises, wow they're so loud you can't even talk whenever the sound comes, wonder what its like to be at the stands! well, took alot of photos and blended into the horrible crowd at the mrt and watched kenneth freak out this middle-aged couple.funny.
yesterday was a boring unproductive day, think you guys would know what that means.'cept for dinner at night with cousins, that wasn't too bad, and project runway on tv last night was so coincidental for me cos it was the only episode I skipped when I watched online the other time and boom! there it is on tv right when I onned it (: and did I mention, my massage chair is my new best friend.
and so is today equally boring, but hopefully not unproductive.
I felt like such a kind soul yesterday HAHAHA.
have great fun everyone, the weather is hot today ):
my aunties have a thing about saying "the night is young", and I crack up whenever they do it heheheh.

a sketch I did during Physics Class on Thursday, of the classroom scene in my line of sight Try to identify the people!
guess that drawing basically sums up the whole week. It was filled with alot of art, alot of boring lessons, and one thing that isn't mentioned in the drawing, quite alot of fun as well!
So I spent much of Thursday and Friday drawings scenes of people in class, better on thurs than on fri because I was more on fire on thurs, and burnt out on fri. Quite a few conversations (not funny, but somehow I remember them) with people over this.
-I'm drawing elaine, laura and yingx, lidan walks into 314-
lidan: I want to be drawn too!
me: alright go stand beside elaine I'll add you in.
-I drew amelia and jolynn during history class-
me: amelia, do you want this? -shows her sketch-
mr ganesh: you were drawing (in my class) ??!?
me: heh yeah, just a little at the start :P
mr ganesh then launches into conversation about how I can quit physics and just take sap as a subject, thanks mr ganesh.
so then I felt pretty inspired by alot of things, and even paused a few days ago while doing work to draw something I randomly thought of. That's a first for me, just drawing something from memory. I thought of the days when I used to live at saraca with the huge garden. I still miss it my garden now is barely a garden it's a patch. so then I lived beside a "slope", so the house behind me was sort of "diagonally on top". since my garden was behind my house, so then from my garden there was a joining fence to thehouse behind, except the fence was pretty high up since that house's on higher ground. So I had neighbors called alex and his sister (forgot her name). and we always had great times talking in the garden, though up till today I've never seen them properly before, (their faces are always concealed by the thick fence so all i can see are stripes of their faces). so I drew a drawing of that scene, shall upload it when I have time.
on to the daily happenings! basically school every day. on friday we had history ces then I was supposed to have lunchafter that with poor maria who waited for me! then it was raining so we couldn't go, but since qiaoyoke and i are neighbors we went home together. sorry maria! then we went to thomson plaza pizza hut for a really late lunch! it's so amazing to finally find someone who eats more than me, among my friends i've always been the most glutton of all. think maria, yingxin and others. so we ate a regular pizza and 6 spicy drumlets and this awesome chocolatefudgecake+vanilla icecream dessert. it was really deserving after the torturous work we both had to do over the week. school can be tiring and food is always stress-relieving(:
had a rather unproductive weekend, had aimed to finish making notes for bio chem history and finishing some or art prep studies, but ended up doing only chem and barely a quarter of bio. but it wasn't too torturous cos I had supper with cousins on saturday, and drank the yinyang hongkong drink that I love so much, and that can keep me awake so well. came back at 1+ and couldn't sleep so i was productive for awhile. i work REALLY well at night I figured.
sent zhimin and jiehan off this morning to their unis. it's amazing how fast time flies, just a minute ago zhimin was a sec four in rgs while I was in sec one and now she's off to university?! that's crazy. and jiehan was just away on his first year at law school a minute ago and now he's almost finishing. wow.
was going to have a section of me saying alot of things i'm dying to say. but it's late and I'm tired, and there's stuff to do, so I'll just leave this as it is and say it all the next time round. Once more, I love you friends you guys make everyday a great day.
keep playing even as you mug alright, smile (:

was going to upload the other drawing I did, but this laptop is so slow I can't stand the wait.
This was quite out of an impulse just felt like painting it, tried to make it related to the sap prep studies that we have to do.
theme for painting exam: beyond the surface.
guess i like it that these themes are vague enough, unlike URBAN LIFE. that was so suffocating.
do you ever find that ordinary scenes in our daily lives are so cool, in that even though they are so common that we take them for granted, each person involved in each scene has a story to tell. and everyone's lives are sort of separated, but yet intertwined at some point in their lives. so the scenes really seem like everyday life, but beyond that, there's so much more.
today was a great day, really (:

the quarter done impressionist painting from more than a month ago. oops I realise I painted weird blue eyebrows for her, heh.
This is significant cos it's the first time I'm painting a human face. I always had a phobia of drawing/painting faces cos I'm lousy at them, and I still have this fear now, but this was the first one, and hopefully there'll be more to come (:
had my piano exam today, finally over with it. am so glad that I no longer need to come home every day and bang on my piano continuously for many hours straight. my neighbors are probably relieved that they no longer need to hear the same 3 songs again! the exam didn't go as well as I wanted it to be, or rather, simply below my expectations by a little cos I screwed the 2nd song and scales and one section of aural. I was quite pleased with my 3rd song though (:
anyhow, can't ask for much, let's just hope for the best and can't wait to get my results!! if only they could just give it to me straight away, that'd be so much cooler. or maybe they just want to prevent weird kids from breaking down crying there and then and begging the examiner for more marks heh.
I RESOLVE TO SLEEP EARLIER NOW, even though I've had eyebags since I was young so it's not entirely cos of my sleeping pattern, it probably makes it worst. so I'll try to sleep by midnight from now on. hmmm but loads of backlog that I need to clear but I guess I'm tired, even after a 2 hour nap awhile ago, hmmm, something wrong with my head?
HSSRP is officially over today!! we submitted the final report and I'm happy, though it's pretty lame and stupid, I do feel some sense of accomplishment. hahaha I'm so easily contented huh. ah well, shall go type the mentors' meeting update now.then finish this zuowen that is stupidly annoyingly about "finding out that school life has taken a turn for the worst"
and it's so hard to write cos it hasn't, I think sec 3 has been the funnest year of all, so its hard for me to fake like I'm crumbling under the pressure of school life or anything, guess I'll just throw in a few sad and heartwrenching words and make do with it.
well, school was rather fun today had lunch with steph and maria and that was rather enlightening! and I found out that the aglio olio at pastamania is too spicy for me! why can't they be like swensen's, their aglioolio is not spicy at all heh. but i still love aglioolio
YAY AGLIO OLIO. I'm starting to be incoherent, HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD EVERYONE.
eyas are here but smiles will solve everything no worries no stress and jump whee(:
I urgently need a easier topic for history extended essay, suggestions anyone?

this is the only way in which I know how to and am comfortable with drawing now, taking a marker and just making all sorts of random lines without thinking much into each stroke. almost instinctual. each drawing takes less than 15 minutes and it's a whole new feeling of speed. the old ways of pencil shading always did take me years, though I have to admit, the pencil sketches look better than these marker ones. the quote is from a poem featured in The Time Traveller's Wife:
"But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere." - A. S. Byatt, Posession
life's been great fun, so I guess the holidays were busy but I probably did get some rest before term 4, as much as I could anyway. Had the YOG briefing, and then went to Fish & Co and Ion with the YOG people. And on the way back had a really weird encounter with this strange old man, who somehow reminded me of Mr Thomas Jeremy Lee, except alot weirder and probably not that nice. On the next morning, found myself at Ion again, this time to celebrate yingx's fifteenth birthday along with Maria and Huimin. Way late, considering her actual birthday was at least 5 days before. well, happy birthday my friend, this makes for 4 channels that I've said it to you by!
We went for Swensen's ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT-ICECREAM-BUFFET.wow it's seriously worth it! $11+ for as much ice cream that you can swallow as possible, cos yingx and I had the one-for-one voucher, so the cost was about 11 instead the original price of about 19. We ate all sorts of random things with all the toppings you could think of.
After lunch yingx had to return to school, see busy kid. Maria and Huimin came to my house and we lazed around watching True Life on MTV, man I thought they were actually going to help those compulsive shoppers recover, but the show just ended with them as bad as they were from the start. Well, can't blame them that much, I would shop all day if I had all the money in the world! wellwell, much time was spent lolling about on my bed, which is ever so comfy and always my favorite part of the room (kind of obvious considering the other parts are rubbish like study table and floor. oh there's the massage chair which is my second favorite bit) Maria and Huimin tried to shut me up by bashing up my face (rather gently) while I was hiding under the blankets. Well, they thought they were mashing my face, but most of the time it was just my fingers covering my face. It probably sounds pretty boring, but I thought it was a fun kind of relaxing afternoon. thanks guys :)
some pictures from be yourself day!
am tired, and it's late. shall upload more some other day! till then, have a great time when school reopens.
man, i'm not looking forward to it at all! oh and my itunes is finally working, and I found a way to do cool photo effects without photoshop, i love these instant websites that are so user-friendly, unlike photoshop. yes, and they helped me with yearbook so much now it's done muahaha sense of accomplishment (:
oh well, see you around then!

'Speed wrong word. "Slowth" would be more apt." -The Charming Man, Marian Keyes
HAHAHHAH that cracked me up abit I have a strange feeling that it's not actually that funny but somehow it's amusing to me. I think this quote is too, too apt for so many times when we're trying to rush work but always failing.
So much to say, but I'm too tired to say anything much. But I suppose I'll try my best, iPod needs awhile more to charge anyway.
so SCHOOL'S OUT!! though my holidays are pretty busy what with History Extended Paper, Yearbook, HSSRP report, Swimathon souvenirs and the like.
I honestly think that I have a problem getting people to do work, or maybe I just hate nagging at people, especially when I know that what I'm asking them to do is rather tedious and unpleasant. So I guess I empathise with the reluctance to do anything, but it's still problematic. Then again, smiles solve all, as always.So here's more smileys for you :D:D:D
Met Huimin Maria StephSiow and Shawna for dinner today! We were supposed to celebrate Yingx's birthday but man, you're too busy. ah well, hope your PRGS dinner was exciting. We ate at Empire State, which is sort of an extension of New York New York.
(random: Suddenly, my left 4th finger is starting to participate actively in typing, it always used to only be the infex and third of both hands only.)
So Steph was an embarassing creature as usual, and Shawna looked so embarassed plus we were sitting at some table right at the side where people outside of the restaurant walk by and see us and stare. On the way back 169 took SO LONG to arrive at the interchange, I swear I waited there for at least 40 minutes.It took so long that the line of people waiting for it extended far far beyond the designated metal-bars-area, if you get what I mean. So I got home about 2 hours ago and I'm so so tired, since I didn't take a nap today. I feel like a baby, I must be the only 15 year old in the whole wide world who needs to take a 2hour nap every single school day to survive. So you know when I say I sleep at 2am, it's not as bad as it sounds because before that I already napped for 2 hours.
I still do believe it increases productivity, no matter what everyone else in the house says about the queer habit :D
secschoolleague tomorrow, ah I don't want to bowl been so off lately there's no way I'm going to bowl a decent game. But then again, we can never really predict what happens, maybe tomorrow I'll wake up feeling a brust of energy and woah. Let me try to amaze myself, either way, hope it'll be fun yes!
and after the competition I'm going to shop for a new piano! I think "shop" is a weird word to use on pianos. I WANT A WHITE PIANO. but it's probably really really expensive. Either way, I really hate my current piano it's so light now, no weight at all so it's so difficult to play softer songs. oh and piano exam is in 2 weeks I don't even have time to practice, okay on Sunday I will hardcore piano. yes let's try to ace this FOR ONCE :)
this is a very pointless and boring post, can't believe you've persevered till this line.
The exhaustion is killing me, I seriously think I have some disease that causes tiredness hmm, alright goodbye have a great week!
WEEK 10 WAS ACTUALLY AN OKAY WEEK, thank you all :D
