Answer the phone, I know that you're home.

And the question really is, how much do you know those people you think you do?

I wanna live the life of a bimbo : be completely airheaded, problems-free, whinny, selfish, reading mindless books (e.g captain underpants), spending my day pondering which outfit I should wear the next day, being satisfied with 1 pg essay outlines, laugh as loud as I want really inconsiderately, worshiping pink, spending 7hrs matching my earrings with my shoes and reading similar bimbotic blogs of my friends'.

A pity I'm not pretty enough.

For a moment, life is cool

Please don't show these signs of weakness. I cant image not looking to you as my inspiration and drive to carry on. :(

Today was a bad day. But on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being a bad day and 10 being the worst day ever, I'll rate it only a 2. (:

Drooling really unglamly on someone else's notes has left a permanent scar in my mind. :((

Twisting weak ankles on the day before the big walk is a forewarning. :(

I think theres a certain charm about choir boys.

I guess its all we got left.

Tell me what forever is for.

You're telling me to forget it like its easy.

Vollies and headers and penalties and defending and passing, all of which I'm still not too good at. (I must be kind to me :))) I do miss soccer training and Adib's scolding- Guoxings much too kind.

Like Dar, I'm inspired to learn vollyball after seeing all those woah-spikes. Like Ci, I'm convinced that AJ Jiayou is the best cheer to cheer as we always win a point after cheering this cheer. Like everyother girl in school, I crown Junda as my hero of the week. (: Amaing how a vollyball match changes your perspective. But hey, I'm glad their efforts paid off. (I firmly believe that alll hard work should pay off. (: )

It didnt have to be this way. You know that I'm sure.

It's been awhile.

Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle. Now arent you tired of hearing 'inspirational' stuff like this? I think its highly overused and overrated. I'm sure we all know how failure is the mother of success. That wont stop us from feeling bad about failing anyway what. Its only natural, at least for awhile.

Hurh hurh, so how have you been? Everythings good for me.

Everythings awesome for me.

Eyes on the prize

I've finally completed the error list that Ms Daljit wants. Its odd I think. Looking at all my errors daily would eventually just drift into my subconcious mind I think.

I get this feeling like I'm irritating you.

Honestly, I dont really care whos the smartest/dumbest in class. At least not until I get decent grades. Whats the use of being smart if I'm not gonna get to University (Okay, hasty generalization, I just dont care)? If I think I'm smart and yet I'm the bottom of the class, I think that just shows how extra dumb I am for not being able to recognize the importance of working hard for the 6 months (yes, SIX).

I wonder how,
I wonder why -
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky,
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree.
I'm turning my head up and down,
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around -
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect makeup
But you're barely scraping by.

Here we go again, the usual Sunday mad rush in a bit to make a dent in that never ending list of must-do homework.

But I find it therapeutic to convince myself that I'll do work while watching jie da huan xi - jing zhuang ban. It puts me in a good mood for work for the rest of the night. A worthy investment I'll say.

I've never met any not-nice teachers before AJ. Not nice as in not mean but just not tactful/considerate/caring(or seemingly so)/hardworking/(most importantly) understanding. I guess I've just been lucky. My teachers in St Nicks never shot me down despite me being completely deserving (much more than now I'll say). I wont say its the fault of teachers now for not being nice, (hey, I probably deserve it to some extent) its just this something extra missing that I've been accustomed to all my life.

Liverpool won the FA cup, and the match was exciting. Gerrald deserves to be crowned hero for the next week at least.

I'm excited about the world cup. I'm not exactly big on soccer, but at least I'm dutifully hyped about it- must make my $10 cable fee well worth. (: I'm supporting England, Brazil, Korea and Christiano Ronaldo. Not die hard support like carry bags which spell their name, but I'll probably catch their matches. (Digression: How many people who carry the new series of world Cup bags actually support the country whose name are on the bags? And I think Nike's range is the best so far. (: Then addidas. And I think Fox is the worst.) Perfect timing as well, smack in the June hols. I think Daljit will flip if shes reading this. But er, I'm keeping up with the current affairs.

Next, (apt connective!) I shall plaster many many photos and attempt to act like Xia xue by thinking I'm very chio. (Okay, maybe not, but its an improvement from my sec4 time alright, Harry and Mark can vouch for that)

I like this tee, but I doubt the dates are gonna be 2006.

The Ah-lians and I went for a buffet at Sakura on recommendation last Wed in the occasion of Raine's birthday. The train ride was 45 min, out of which we spent 40 of that taking happy photos and the remaining 5 laughing at bengs who try to attract attention on the MRT. (But now that I think of it, they were probably laughing at us too.





At this point of time, I envisioned Harry's look of disgust.


Now how long has it been since you've seen one of these? I remember when I use to run all the way to the top, reach my hand under the net and dump the ball into the hole with the highest points. Following which, I'll run back down to my daddy's arms who'll proudly tell me how awesome I was.



The simulator ride was $4 worth of headache, and even if we look rather happy here, we do not recommend you to take it anytime soon.


If you can see, our jie-mei-hua identity is finally revealed - Golden hoops! ((:


Limin beats us completely at the dining table. She beats about the whole restaurant as well.


I LOVE RAINBOW SPRINKLIES MORE THAN YOU!



I'm proud to say we were the second group of customer to be seated in the restaurant and the last to leave. Thats 3 and a half hour of hardcore eating for you. Kudos to Limin. (:

So toilet shots arent exactly glam, but no matter. (:

Then we celebrated Vesak day with a day out (to Escape no less!). I felt like a typical Singaporean queuing for rides and escape, eating ice kachang at the foodcourt with man in swimming trunks prancing about, and completing my day with Mac's curly fries.

Warm up ride for us = the most trilling ride of Raine's life.





Happiness doesnt come by so easily. (:




We were dead scared at the start of the family rollar coaster ride. That explains our terrible facial expression.

The best use of $19 if you ask me (extra because Gary lost our locker key), right beside the $4 spent on the simulator ride. The haunted house was about the scariest thing there (I'm serious!) And Jeremy disappeared without a trace.

And then there was the Ikea outing. (I wanted to get this photoframe for mummy's day, somehow, that gave everyone the impression that Ikea was loaded with mother's day present and everyone decided to go as well! (: )





It's been awhile since I caught a movie in the movie room at Ikea. If I could, I would have gone to the ball room as well. (:



And that concludes my weekend. Not exactly, I still have 1 GP essay, 2 econs essay and 1 history test to study for. No kick. (:

When did your eyes begin to look fake?


This is the first time in my entire life elections have meant anything at all. At least 4 people told me that YCK was won by the PAP the second I heard that from my Teevee.

If you support the opposition, are you supporting them just because or do you truely belive in their ability to lead the nation?

"Great minds have purposes, little minds have wishes."
Washington Irving
Sorry Washington, I guess I'm just a little mind. (: At least I'm happy about that.

I dont know what all the signs mean. But I do hope they mean a little something sometimes.

Or maybe things are happy this way. :D

I think I think to much and proceed to mess up my life.

Being friends with Raine (and Limin) is about the worst 'investment' I have made. For them, I've been late for lessons, spending hours in the toilet, spent 1 hour a day waiting for them, lending them notes (which sometimes disappear), lending them tutorials to copy, telling them about the tests and homework, having completely unrealiable mates, exposed to completely wrong values, being labeled a chao ah lian, etc etc. In return, I get their love. and thats about it.
I feel that thats completely worth it. ((:


Happy eighteen Raine!! I love your ye ye!

k & l : What what?

Though its the hardest thing to say

I dont need to do alot to keep my Por, it seems as though we're still spending everyday with each other.

Without her, I'll be so incomplete you know.

We solomly promise to lay of fondues for a good few months.


Us and happy food!

So even if my kite-flying plans fell through and we ended up doing nothing much, it was still time well spent with my sorely missed bestie. :D

Is this the happiest milk tea or what?

Neoprints to make the day, everyday!

I couldnt resist the inspirational quotes of the neos machine.

And the world smiles with you. (:

I dont know why Harry thinks its a bad photo. Looks good to me. (:

I look spastically happy.


Look, my shirts all tucked in.
WE LOVE MR SANUSE!


My darlings amazing dont you think!

Come on, I'll stay right by your side

So many things are better left unsaid. Or so I think.

These "PAP people" came to my estate today and my mum was absolutely taken in and smiled oh so widely what giving enthusiatic replies of "Sure sure!" when asked to vote for them. She then proceeded to call my Aunty to tell her that the "PAP people are downstairs!". How typically Auntie.

So tomorrow is polling day.I love Lee Kuan Yew so Go PAP! (:

You showed me what love was supposed to be-
You saw the little things that made you beautiful to me


Last week we came in second for the inter-cca race, so three cheers for the whole of ODAC! Hey, it might seem like no big deal to you, but it is a pretty happy affair for us. And 3505 got second for 8 x 50m, so please stop telling us we're slow cause we're actually the second fastest J2 class in the level, beat that!

And then, my client is the AJ Idol of the year, so I think he deserves three tosses in the air!

I'm amazed at my body's immune system. I tried so hard to fall sick last night - think the ultimate torture of a cold bathe followed by air con at full blast. To my horror, not only did that not work, wei xian you and salompus, which previously gave me patches of rashes, failed as well. So I woke up healthily today. :/

Then just as I signed the early dismisal form, I had to have gastric and a curse of headache (Have you heard how much i detest headaches? Cause I really do).

My darling and I rushed down to catch our first hockey match and made it in time for the second half, thanks to the brilliant taxi uncle who gave us a pleasant tour of Redhill.

Firstly, I must exclaim, the pitch is HUGE! and I mean HUGE! Like three times the Dee, I bet you didnt know that too.

And I dont know much about hockey, but I thought Beatty played pretty decent? (: My OG mate okay, I felt proud for about 4 seconds.

And catching up with my darling was an amazingly fun affair. ((: Its been some time I must say. But all the scandals and gossips and randoms keeping us happy and we even managed a good deed for the day in between. Thanks baybeh for coming with me ((:

One emotion I cant deal with is anger.

Econs test tomorrow and Lit work due. I'll just weaken myself on panadol I guess.
