Pearly shells,
By the Ocean,
Shining in the sunlight; covering the shore.
When I see you,
My heart tells me that I love you -
More than all these pretty pearly shells.

You said you were leaving,
Someone swept your heart away

The A levels are much too overrated. As are the end of the A levels. In fact, I'm rather sorry to see it go. But incase the A-level-God is reading this, my previous statement does not imply that I wish to see a repeat of it.


Anyhows, my books are all neatly packed in this nice box which is splitting apart at the sides. Save for my awesome Detective fiction file while I will still need to pray to until 11 hours later and my GP treasures which will now be enjoyed by my cousin. And all my Cold War notes which someone stole from locker 79C.


Everyday could be today really. Or tomorrow. (: Makes little difference actually.


Happy birthday Darling and Cleavon!

Todays been a perfect dream.
And waking up from it a perfect nightmare.

You gave me strength,
You gave me hope.

I thought the heavy downpour would clear the skies and allow some starlight onto Gerald Drive. How unfortunately not.


The answer to my James Bond question kindly provided by Edmund and Daryl (whom I choose not to believe) is that James Bond is one and the same - just acted by a different guy each time. Now you know. (:


Sometimes all we look for is a return to simplicity. But the truth is, once we start looking for it, we've lost it.

Its not the big things but the little things that can mean enough.

Today, I led the life on an average ordinary teenager. Or at least the life of what seems like that of an average ordinary teenager.

I went to school in the morning, had an average day in terms of my academic pursuit.
I had normal unhealthy junky food with my classmates followed by a movie.
On my way home, it was raining and I had to brave the rain for about 1 m and tread through ankle deep water to get to the cab.
I met an irritable cab uncle.
I came home to the empty house and cowered in fear of the rumbling of thunder.
I watched some TV and took a lovely afternoon nap.
I came online, talked to my friends, watched some videos, and trashed ci in solitaire, ticktacktoe and hexic.
I had dinner, watched the 9 oclock channel 8 serial and came back online to the jaws of youtube.

I must say I haven had to endure wet feet and an empty house in the longest while. Or ate happy junky food (it was Carl's Jr) before a movie. It is not my intention to portray myself as a pampered/weird being, but I honestly haven't had such a normal life in quite a while.

The best part of all 007 movies, is when the James Bond appears with the theme song and goes : Bond. James Bond. (: Corney, but lovable. And! Can anyone tell me if 007 is always called James Bond by default or is it just the same guy acted by different people in the various 007 movies.

Oh yes, and for the first time in a long while, I watched a slightly more intelligent movie! I think the bimbo shows are getting to me completely.

The oddest part of today was when I was in a cab and I considered if I should become a nun. Must feel good to rid oneself of all earthly desires. But what if I decide to become a nun and find out only then that I don't have a strong enough will? What will I do then, botak? I pondered over this issue in all seriousness in the cab.

I love it when its sunny, and I love it when is cool and raining, and I love the smell of rain. For someone who doesn't think much of herself, I sure have a huge capacity for love.

Pieces of the people we love

Who doesnt hate large chunks of lyrics on blogs. But I swear if you ignore the following, you're regret forever! Because its from THE LITTLE MERMAID ON BROADWAY and its AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!

If only you could know the things I long to say
If only I could tell you what I wish I could convey

Its in my every glance my hearts an open book
You'd see it all once if only you would look

If only you could glimpse the feeling that I feel
If only you would notice what im dying to reveal

The dreams I cant declare,
The needs I cant deny
You'd understand them all if only you would try

All my secret you would learn them
All my longings you'd return them
All my shackles they'd be broken
Not a word would need be spoken

If only it were it were,
If only for a while,
If only he would notice I ache behind my smile
I guess he never will
I guess it doesnt show
But if I never find a way to tell you so

Oh, what I give if only you could know

Someones thinking of you, and loving you tonight.

I refuse the position of your comfort zone.

I didnt manage to complete the last line of my Econs paper 2. It feels like such a bad ending to my two years course in Econs. Regardless if I get my A from this subject or not, I'm glad I took it. It was fun while the make believe world of certeris paribus existed.

You gave me faith cause you believed.

In all seriousness, I think my econs fell apart. It all hinges on tomorrow I would say.

Things are so confusing right now and I would gather its right about time to throw in the towel.

Or maybe I'm taking econs too hard.

Haha, anyhows, my darling and Clems are the absolute bestest!

Disney Princess Alert!!

Harry showed me this video on Youtube yesterday. (Type : Kiwi!) And at fist I didn't get what it was, how very extremely dumb. But on hindsight its really very very very good, and sad. ):

And I also found on You tube this Disney princess song! Ok yes yes, I know I hate you tube, but anyway, its such a sweet song that made my entire night! So if you're bored enough, you can guess who sings what part! (: But of course, none of you will know, except maybe Meryl, seeing that someone actually asked me who sits on the magic carpet! That's like asking whats the role of the government! And what causes market failure! And what is a monopoly!

There is a world where hope and dreams can last for all time
A wondrous place to go
You'll know it when your heart finds.


Hearing our song as old as rhyme
Hold my hand, we're gonna fly
What a magic ride.
And just a kiss away .


If you can dream
The wish we're making,
On a star
Is coming' true

The colours of the wind will lead my heart right back to you

'Cause if you can dream
Reflections in a diamond sky
Come shining' on through
Romance will always be so new
And love will save the day
If you can dream

Someday your prince will come,
It's certain as the sunrise
One day the slipper fits,

Then you feel the love in his eyes

It is a tale as old as time
There's no mountain we can't climb
When you're finally mine
And just a kiss away


If you can dream
The wish we're making,
On a star Is coming' true

So the story goes
Never die the rose

There's a whole new world
Waiting there for us .


Because of this song, I would think I had the best dream in my life in the longest time! :D I know dreams aren't exactly reality, but hey, a dream is a wish your heart makes, when its fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartache, whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come shining through. No matter how your heart is weeping, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish, will come true! :D

Sing a song of hope

All full of unwavering determination (Or so I thought), I lay myself to sleep yesterday. Apparently unwavering only lasts 1 night for me and today, its back to the same old everyday cycle.

This morning, I had this dream that Jay Chou was marking my Econs paper and gave me only a 9/25. I take that to be a very bad omen indeed. Although I really deserve to die because I'm about to go and watch Journey to the West II about now. :/

I truly truly truly truly truly hope Ms Ng's faith in us is not ungrounded!

Today, I learnt how to spell operating.

YOUR CRUEL INTENTIONS.

Good luck fellow lit students, may fortune "smile once more" :) And lets not panic or feel "all the bitterness of an error that was not simply futile" but disheartening should nothing you study come out. After all, "(h)aste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure;/ Like doth quit like, and Measure still for Measure".

Perfect love has a breath of poetry which can exalt the relations of the least-instructed human beings

Despite the fact that the above line is over used if you happen to be doing Silas Marner for lit in AJC, I think its a really pretty line. But of course, perfect love from our parents never sound anything like that.

Most of my friends have pretty much started their big As, but for me, the big day comes on Monday. (Sounds far doesn't it? Actually its just tomorrow) I don't feel the hype yet, but it'll come, it'll come.

I plan to write 3 essays on the multiplier (my weak 'macro' spot) before going to sleep today. But I KNOW its not going to come out. Yes you can quote me on this. (Its YOUR A level grades on the line anyway :))

A much needed confidence booster! Pity my GP/lit/history teacher doesn't have the same great taste as Alicia. (: But just for that nice, sincere line, I am all set to take on the world with my great writing abilities! (Wait till you see my work before spell check Alicia)

You know you're overly preoccupied with that blasted mobile phone when you try to flag down the MRT just like me yesterday. Or maybe you're just distracted trying to remember why US got their ass kicked in the third world. Or maybe you're simply tired. And to think my coffee astrology says I never fail to be in my pristine elegance at all times.

More time then ever before is wasted during this exam period. Think good food, good company, ah-lian activities, happy sleepovers, makeovers, shopping, movies, vivo-city, Gods of Honour, Journey to the West, Christmas party planning,... Well you get the drift. :D But now I fully appreciate the past 2 years of my life. I could almost term it a truly awesome time. :)) Now all I'm missing is a good ticket to the future, which sadly, in Singapore's kiasu terms, equals to 3 As and a B3. (I'm not that greedy la).

You'll be in my heart,
No matter what they say


A fine time to fall sick this is. :( I secretly think its Wong Ci's shirt.

If theres one this I know, its Disney Cartoons. (: So all hail me, oh Disney princess.

Stars don't bow down

I'm not relinquishing all blame, but the anal teacher who refused to let me write my name is really causing me much distress. I sincerely hope that the cover page - the one and only sacred piece of paper bearing my name, exam center and index number, will not detached itself from my answer under any circumstances. And that the particulars on the cover page are accurate. The consequences otherwise are too horrific to be considered. ):

There aint so much to say now between us. ):

And, this is what we look like in the midst of our As.

It's hard to believe after thousands of years
The world is still drowning in blood and tears

I'm not living in some fantasy- females can never become the equal of their male counterparts.

Its disgusting really the excuses guys can come up with. And how they are given leeway to live with it. I don't care if its the serotonin or the 6.5 times more gray matter in areas of their brain that relates to isolated takes and local processing. We make an effort to wait for you, and to listen to you - in a nutshell, to care. Even if it is not reciprocated, the minimum would be not to take it for granted.

And silly little girls take insensitivity to be cool, take rudeness to be toughness, take being overlooked to be in their nature. I can only shake my first and bare my teeth at such atrocities.

The male side of me has been gaining in might and magnitude. Somedays, like today, like now, I feel like I need to beat up the world ( I wouldn't even mind getting beaten up) , scream Fuck You!, drink myself silly not caring freak about the world and then throw the bottle into a million itsy bitsy pieces. My flight or flight meter has been going way up and so this is what it feels like to be a guy. When faced with a problem, either evade or use violence - and it feels good I must say.

But for now, I pathetically content myself with having a huge pillow fight with the wall, screaming into bunny's butt and slamming my keyboard. (If I hear that cursed message tone just one more time I might be inclined to break my phone).

And the most retarded part of this entry - my male counterparts may not even know they're the subject - and tomorrow, I'll just forget it and let them get away with it scot free for ruining my day. Oh Vanessa, "holy, offered up to them (my) great big heart".

This entry has nothing to do with the dismal General Paper today. It is in reflection of my day.
