I have been completely unproductive today, and I am this close to hopping on a plane to find John Sloman and murder him. He isn't helping me one tiny bit! As a result, I am unable to do any of the two essays, or complete my tutorial homework. Geezers. No one has been able to help me so far. Unni isn't replying me on MSN. That's the downside of her living in the dormies at NTU. Sigh. I tried asking fighting, who's supposed to be very good at Econs (according to WY), but he thinks there isn't any difference between a monopoly and a monopoly market. I think there is however. A monopoly market is just not the same as a monopoly right!!!
I was so stressed I dragged out my huge Cambridge dictionary and started flipping through it and learnt a coupla new words.
"The only way out is through"- Robert Frost
Battle on.
---edit
Okay, apparently a monopoly is the same thing as a monopoly market? At least that's what Unni said. Still kinda doubtful, but what the heck. I'll just get Ms. Jeeva to explain to me.
Reading Karen's blog just reminded me of our pact to go to Seoul together in 2007 or so! So I am going to study hard and then enjoy myself there! Aja aja hwaiting! Chingoo yah, press on! :) You can do it!

Hmm. Let me start from yesterday. :)
Went to school as usual, met Zhiying at the bus-stop. Had Math lecture, in which I felt disinclined to sleep at all! I was quite happy, since I always feel sleepy during Math lectures. The topic was differentiation. It looks pretty okay so far. Speaking of Math, I really ought to start doing my tutorials. Argh. After that, we had Literature. Got back our prose PC tests which we took sometime ago. I got an E- lah, 25/50. Was quite appalled. Haha. But it somehow spurred me on to work harder and pay attention to her lecture. I can't let go of my goal now. I'm good at this, and I'll work hard to be even better!
Did our GP project after that. Finished it in a remarkably short span of time. We're still going ahead with our plan to do a mini-skit. It'll be fun, I'll get to be the Hongkong customer and put on their accent. Teehee.
Zhiying and I had lunch at the canteen after that. We put our plates of food down, then went to the vending machine to get drinks. We were walking back when I saw two mynahs (the black birds with yellow beaks) standing next to our food!! And one of them was about to peck at Zhiying's food. So without a second thought, I ran towards our table screaming my head off. Okay, it wasn't that loud, but I'm sure the whole canteen heard and I've pretty much ruined my image. Sigh.
Wenyong came awhile later and the three of us studied together. Although our studying was frequently interrupted by our repeated corrections of WY's vocabulary. Wahaha. Played ball after that with a few people... Zhonglin, Fu Quan, WY, Kaiyuan and some J2s. We played full court for awhile! And Chest Hair is so mockable.
Went home with a pounding headache, certain that I had brain cancer. Dad cooked dinner since Mom's sick. The soup was pretty tasteless but I didn't say anything since I should show my appreciation right! Haha. My dad was surprised that no one complained about the food, since whenever he cooked, we'd pretend as if we had food poisoning. Lol. But my bro did complain that he didn't have any appetite. Ungrateful chit! I went to sleep with a bloated stomach at around 9pm. Woke up at 11pm, realising I hadn't brushed my teeth. I dreamt of Fighting again! This is the second consecutive night that I dreamt of him. The first night, I dreamt he was singing, and his voice was really beautiful. I don't think its true in real life lah. Haha. Then yesterday, I dreamt he sms-ed me. Okay, so technically I didn't dream of him, but close enough. Woke up this morning with an odd sense of... longing? Somehow my dreams always have a big impact on me.
Mom's still sick, so I'm staying home today to look after her and cook lunch. But even now, she's still running around doing the household chores. Tsk.
Oh, there was some nice old-fashioned Chinese music, the type with no singing drifting up to my house from the road downstairs, and I was appreciating it. Its the type of music that will bring back certain pleasant memories from your childhood, like staying at your grandma's house and watching funny Chinese movies and eating roasted chestnuts. Then my brother told me the music was coming from a funeral procession. I was like !!!!
Going to study now. Annyong!
P.S. Pics from the yellow ribbon walk are up. Just scroll down a lil and you'll see it. I didn't post everything up though. I'm no good at resizing, so the pics are a lil pixelated? Enjoy nevertheless. :)

Hello! Today was an alright day. Had Math lecture early in the morning, then had a two hour break, in which the foodie gang, minus Eileen went to Serangoon Central to eat. Went back to school for History, where Mr. Mao made us take a postcard each as a form of attendance-taking. Quite smart eh.
Had a looong break till training, so Zhiying, Yati and I went to the canteen for food. Today was the first time since my coming to NY that I laughed so hard, with no inhibitions and with tears forming in my eyes. Something so common back in Dunman, but has become a rare, cherished occurence here. I hope there are more of such occurences. :)
Training today was okay, but my timing deproved for the three rounds! By THIRTY SEVEN SECONDS, WHICH IS MORE THAN HALF OF A MINUTE!!! This is ridiculous. I shall try to start running more on my own. Come to think of it, my shooting sucks too. Argh!
Man, girls, we've gotta get together one day and dance!! Maybe after our promos we can have a sleepover or something and have a mini disco thing. Lol.
My handphone is dying. It doesn't vibrate anymore and the light dies out after switching on for awhile.
Aiyah nothing much to say. I shall start on my work soon!

Hmmm. I spent my entire afternoon blogging, spending a longass time in the toilet conditioning my hair, then smacking on green goop onto my face, waiting for it to dry, then washing it off, then going on a plucking rampage, clearing away the embarrassing amount of hair that's grown under my shapely brows. Oh, and reading Persuasion and dozing off, then waking up and continuing reading it. Sometimes, Jane Austen is too draggy.
I found this on Yati's blog, and thought it was simply lovely.
"We laughed until we had to cry, we loved right down to our last goodbye, but over the years we'll smile and recall for just one moment we had it all."
When I was young, I wanted very much to get spectacles, because I thought they were a novelty and thus, I had to have them. When I got spectacles finally, I wished I had perfect eyesight, and didn't need to wear that cumbersome piece of metal.
When I was in primary school, I couldn't wait to grow up and be beautiful. I couldn't wait to be an actress, or lead a glamorous, thrilling life, like that of the celebrities I saw on television.
All my life, I've always knew where I wanted to be at. I didn't get into my desired secondary school, but that very school gave me more opportunities, love and life than any other place would have. It gave me the chance to choose where I wanted to go. And I landed up where I thought I always wanted to go- a JC.
My life now is almost like new imperialism, but instead of a mad rush to collect colonies, I'm caught up in the mad rush to collect accolades, certificates, top grades. It's not about competing to see who gets the highest grade for Math anymore. It stopped being about that a long time ago. Now, it's about being the best overachiever there ever was. It's about holistic education, it's about juggling CCA, academics, serving the school, leadership...
I pity the children of today. The primary one kids who have tuition for every damn subject, who have piano lessons, taekwondo, ballet, swimming classes... The primary one kids who probably face more stress than I did when I was studying for my PSLE.
At some point in time, things changed.
When I was primary one, I collected stickers and we would bring our sticker books and show off our shiny stickers and trade them. During recess, we would take out our lunchboxes and munch contentedly on our food. We would trap centipedes in bottles and play five stones.
I don't really like what I'm doing now. Despite all the information I'm being fed with, my brain is degenerating. It is not improving, like how it did when we went out to explore the insects. It has become a sponge, just absorbing, but not really processing. Has it ever been about us? Maybe all along, it was about them. We are the robots they are developing us to be. The "economic digits". We work so hard, and some of us even fling ourselves off buildings, when we buckle under the pressure of it all. But I wonder. Do they even care? Or do they just think, "Another useless idiot. If he/she can't even deal with such little pressure, how is he/she going to compete in the global market next time? We're better off without him/her."
I am lucky to have experienced a time when the education system was not hellbent on moulding us into computers. I am lucky to have had a childhood. But what about those kids now? Will all they remember of their childhood, be of books and tuition, piano lessons, computer games? Will they have had any memories of friends?
Once again... Yati's quote...
"We laughed until we had to cry, we loved right down to our last goodbye, but over the years we'll smile and recall for just one moment we had it all."
Don't ever forget this.

Goodness, I read this girl's blog- she's from NY too, and the extent of her evilness is quite horrendous. Is there a need to be so crass? Tsk tsk.
Hmm, went back to school today for a Chinese test. Was feeling horribly sleepy during the second part of the paper. My bum was becoming numb (it rhymes!) from sitting there for about three hours straight! Went for lunch at J8 after that with Jamie(ah), Eileen and Zhiying. I think we're gonna form a foodie gang soon. Hahaha. After lunch, we went to the mooncake stalls on the ground level, and we began sampling the different mooncakes! Jamie was very funny. Wakaka. I love the green tea one from Bengawan Solo!! Then they went to Sasa to paint their nails a multitude of different colours. -_- That's their favourite past-time other than eating I suppose. Lol.

Phwoaar. It's finally raining. The accumulated heat these two days has been unbearable.
Yesterday's Yellow Ribbon Walk was horrifically ridiculous. Usually, I try to be positive about such CIP things, like picking up rubbish at the beach. But really, I can see no point in yesterday's Yellow Ribbon Walk. Making us go for that walk doesn't automatically change our mindsets about ex-prisoners, you know. Walking a few km from Changi to Pasir Ris doesn't mean we'll suddenly realise that we should give the criminals another chance. Sheesh. And at the end of it, there was a ceremony promoting Jack Neo's new movie. Very telling, no?
Shall not grumble anymore. One good thing came out from yesterday, and that was the pictures we took. Shall post them some other time; I'm still trying to resize the pictures.
During the walk, fighting walked past me and I was again, too gutless to say hi. Really, its quite ridiculous when he's my friend and everything. I ought to be friendly and calm. I am so stupid!
Went to Magic Wok at Whitesands after the walk with Dah, Eileen, Jamie(ah), Ling Hui and Zhiying. The food was alright, the company was better. :)
Zhiying came to my house to study after that. Didn't get much into my head though. Yaaargh. Went to TM for awhile after that.
Gotta continue with Animal Farm... I need to plan my time better.

Hmm, the season finale for Smallville just ended a little while ago. Kinda regret I didn't follow the season. Sigh. I stopped watching it in the later part of last year? Ah, Tom Welling is as hot as ever. His eyes are so piercing. Lana's eyes remind me of a cat's. The color of her pupils is very unique. Oh, to be exotic. My eyes are like boring dark brown/black.
School sucked. Didn't get to play ball cos it was raining, so I didn't get to see fighting at all. How absolutely depressing. Went to J8 instead, and ate tiramisu and a brownie. Mrs. Field's is overrated. It isn't good at all.
Went to CoffeeBean with Jamie & Eileen for some drinks and it was nice reminiscing about our childhood. Realised that I cannot really remember the exact events of my childhood, only vague recollections. I do remember emotions and thoughts clearly, but not the event itself...
Yellow Ribbon Walk tomorrow. Studying with Zhiying after that.
Sigh, I'm very bored and I just realised it will be a week before I see fighting, because I might not get to see him tomorrow during the walk.
Looking forward to AMTR on 56. :)
My heart palpitations are back and its scary when your heart beats wildly and violently all of a sudden even when you're sitting down watching TV. And its even scarier when it happens frequently. Oh well, we all must die someday. I think I'll die of a heart attack.
I don't really understand why people wanna die in their sleep. I mean, its like you happily go to bed, and then you die in your sleep. And you never get to say your last words and you don't even know you're going to die. If I should die, I want to be conscious and experience pain. I dunno, maybe I'm weird?
Something ain't right with me these days. I don't know what's wrong.
Gonna read some history now. I wish I had the guts to message fighting. Y____Y

Half watching Project Superstar, and half doing the Literature essay which has to be handed in tomorrow.
I don't understand why so many people think Weilian isn't a better singer than Junyang. I've heard Junyang sing... and frankly, he isn't good. Sure, he's cute and is bound to have scores of teenage girls fawning over him. But there isn't anything special about his voice. Weilian on the other hand, has a voice that is really rich. If you don't look at him, if you just listen to his voice, I believe he has a voice which can make you cry. I guess its because of his expression and the way he carries himself on stage that turns people off.
There's something special about WL's voice. Maybe its because he's blind. But there's just this effortlessness in it, this degree of strength that is so unique. He doesn't need to make those weird expressions or close his eyes and scrunch his face up like so many of the singers do... and I find that really refreshing.
As for Kelly... I think she's annoying. I just can't stand the way she thanks the judges in that stupid affected Taiwanese accent. "Shie shie, shie shie cai pan". Argh! And again, I really don't think there's anything WOW about her.
Then again, this is Project Superstar. It's not so much about the true meaning of music I guess.
But whatever it is, I definitely think Weilian deserves to stand where he is standing today.
And I realised that Lin Jun Jie has a wonderful voice. Hearing him sing Yi Qian Nian Yi Hou live... it simply sweeps one away.

I awoke and everything was a haze. I could barely force my eyes open, and they were mere slits. I stumbled groggily and located my handphone, then tried going back to sleep. It was then that the pain hit me. The weather seemed too hot, my legs were on fire and I wanted to die. I absolutely hate the severe leg cramps I get in both legs every once in awhile. The pain is enough to kill me.
My mom helped me massage my dying legs with wintergreen oil and I did some stretching exercises. Immediately felt better. Now the pain is just a dull ache.
Apart from waking up with the pain, I woke up in a state of extreme discontent and irritation.
Sometimes I really think I tolerate people's rubbish too much. So much so that I get really irritated when I dunno, the mood strikes me? Most of the time I try to ignore my annoyance and just go with the flow, but really, its impossible to when I'm feeling crabby. I seriously hate it when people refuse to focus on important stuff when the need for it arises and choose instead to focus on other frivolous stuff.
And I really don't know how people can be so oblivious to the situation and things, people around them, and just be so selfish and irritating.
And maybe because I've never been much of a follower, I dislike it when people who don't really hold any leadership positions to tell me what to do, without even a "please".
Roar. I must've woken up on the wrong side of bed just now. I don't like feeling this way; I'll snap at people and feel like murdering them.
I think I'm a very scary person. I could be very nice to you on the outside, but on the inside as I'm listening to your words I'm forming my judgments and looking at you with a critical eye.
I am so vile. Maybe I'm possessed.

Shucks, something's wrong with my computer. It keeps reconfiguring itself everytime I switch it on. So annoying, gah.
Today was Teachers' Day celebrations. Not bad lah. Pretty low-key and everything. The teachers came on the podium to sing, and they played the piano & guitar as well. There's this Chinese teacher who has a wonderful voice, and she's very sweet and pretty as well! Everyone's hearts simply melted when she started singing. Roy is so weird lah. I think he was given an overdose of hyperactivity when he was young. He isn't hot anymore. If only he could behave like how he behaved in my dream. Wahaha.
Went back to Dunman today. Oh, but it felt so natural walking through the main gate and it was so good seeing so many familiar faces again. It actually didn't feel that bad hearing b3 call me "BB Ho" again. Lol.
A couple of us went to Mac after that and chatted for a bit. Found out Shaun's "eye-candy" in school. I don't like that word! Haha.
Oh, I finally finished my love story. I only had four hours of sleep the night before, due to me having to finish the story. The result? I think it absolutely sucks. Somehow, the passion doesn't seem to be there anymore. And I thought everything moved too fast. Ah heck, its done. No more worrying about it.
Phwoaar, life is BORING! Everyday, I go to school, and become Zhiying's sounding-board whenever she starts talking about _ & __. Then I myself become very excited for her, and will want to read her mobile phone for SMSes from _ or __.
Oh by the way, I'm very happy with Royce, cos he said I grew prettier, and that someone in his school, and who used to be from Dunman said I'm very pretty. (VERY!!) Then after that he told me the guy was Kenny Chong. -____- Kenny Chong has to say I'm pretty cos I'm his sista. Lol.
Sian lah.

Reasons why today was not a good day:
1. I happily bathed with this new lavendar bath foam I bought yesterday and sprayed on Oceanus, and was feeling all daisy-like and fresh and smelling like heaven, studiously taking down Lit notes when the damn bell rang and we had to evacuate to the FIELD. WHERE THE SUN WAS BLAZING AND I BEGAN SWEATING ALMOST INSTANTLY! SO MUCH FOR WANTING TO SMELL LIKE A FLOWER!
2. I skipped History lecture to write my love story, which is not proceeding very well. I am only at chapter three, and the guy hasn't even begun to die yet. Shit him.
3. The bane of my existence since I hit Sec 2: pimples. And to think I used to have skin that was smoother than tofu. Now? My porcelain-like complexion has been marred by ugly bumps, not unlike the rough terrain you get at the Grand Canyon in America.
4. Eileen very kindly informed me today that one of my nostrils was bigger than the other. Which sparked off a frenzied pinching of my nose in an attempt to get it to look equal. Now I can't seem to breathe properly.
5. I was supposed to be on a diet and only eat vegetables but Emmalyn told me I ate more than usual today. KILL ME!!
6. Bob gave me three M&Ms and didn't tell me I was supposed to be on a diet.
7. I didn't see Fighting today except after Econs lecture. And he was daydreaming. (When a goddess with flower-like scent walked past him, he was DAYDREAMING)
8. I have become like Chua Enlai's character in My Sassy Neighbor, sighing loudly, and TSK-ing and haiyoh-ing. I think Zhiying hates me now.
9. I fell asleep on the way home, and missed my stop.
10. Because I was feeling grouchy about missing my stop, I went to Subway and bought cookies.
11. I ate two of those cookies & gave my brother one. My parents were shocked and asked my brother why I was being so nice to him.
12. My parents think I'm selfish and mean and cheapskate. (See above)
I am a mutant, a freakazoid! Why hasn't Charles Xavier arrived in his wheelchair and whisked me off to Mutant Academy in America?
Oh, I'm too retarded and fat, that's why. And I don't have any special powers, except for writing tragic love stories and going TSK, HAIYOH and sighing every few seconds. And that isn't even a special power cos I copied Chua Enlai from My Sassy Neighbor.
I am an outcast in the human & mutant world. That makes me an ALIEN.
From tomorrow onwards, I am only going to eat wholemeal bread (thanks to Ellis who told me carbo is very hard to break down), granola bars and fruits. And drink green tea.
And I do not even feel quixotic, because my face definitely does not look like the icon's face. I just thought quixotic looked like a cool mood to have.
I'm going back to write my love story.
Take care folks.

Hmm, I'm quite surprised. My analysis of my female character in my Chinese compo was accurate to a T. I ought to be a psychologist.
I guess this event lets us learn more about people. Found out a few things today from BBGT (they know alot of gossip!) that well, really surprised me.
Well, the serious stuff is cleared!
Had Lit presentation today. Dunno where Karen went to eh, she was supposed to present with us. Mrs Gan said I chose the right topic to present (main theme of the qn was love). Haha, perhaps. Went for blood donation after that. Saw Kai Yuan there. Emmalyn and Emily wanted to donate too, but their iron levels were too low. Eat more bananas! The whole experience was quite alright. It wasn't as painful as I thought it'd be. Quite amazing to watch my skin swell up when the anaesthatic (sp?) was injected in. After that, they did not let me look when they poked the needle in to draw blood out from. Zhiyang was so funny, he kept trying to distract me from looking by asking me where Zhiying was, when my brain wasn't even registering his questions, until like a few seconds later. I was like, "I don't want to talk to you!!" Haha. But he's nice lah, thanks for trying to distract me.
Played ball today. Very fun! Played with TK & his friends. Played ABC at first, in which I lost, and I was not going to lose but these three morons came and distracted me. They did it on purpose!
"Wah, she donate blood then still play ball ah?"
"Later she faint how?!"
"Later she faint then die how?!"
I was so annoyed! But well, they were amusing. After that we played match. I was in TK's group, then everytime I tried to do a layup one of the guys from the opposing team would let out a burp, which is so gross lah! Good game though. Wish TK will join basketball, he's good! He and his friends are damn cute. Haha.
Went for reunion dinner after that. Then went to Yizhen's house, which is really nice! Feel very bad about messing up her place with our clay, but her mom's very nice. Thanks Zhen! ;) The girls are really very nice to talk to!! Hahaha. Zhiying we missed ya! Must make yourself available for the next reunion! :)
And btw, am very happy for you! Must have some development OKAY. Hahha I got something to tell you too, but not very important I think.

Hey sweetie do you like it? Hehehe. Thought today's sunset was particularly beautiful, so I decided to take a pic for ya!
Eeeks, blood donation tomorrow! Although I am a wimp, I still wanna go, to show that I am brave and strong? Haha. Well, the woman did say we can save 4 lives. And I think my blood type is O, so I can save all types of people!
Prolly ought to shower soon. So sleepy! Aish. Gonna have an online meeting later for Lit.
Haha, believe it or not, I am beginning to get hooked on my Lit text- Jane Austen's Persuasion. I think its quite marvellous work. Especially the letter from Wentworth to Anne. Pity we wasted some parts of that latter on some loser. He ain't fit to have those words used on him!
Currently hooked on Mcfly. Especially the guy with the deep voice, with that tinge of sexy growl in it. Oh man. Think his name is Danny or something, according to Emma. But he doesn't look handsome leh. Hmmm.
Well, that's all for now. I must start buckling down and studying soon! Shall do vectors tonight. Hwaiting!

Instrumental music the library is playing |
] |
Aye, am in the school library. They recently decided to broadcast some soothing, instrumental music. Quite nice eh.
Zhiying's on my right and Rajah's pangsai friend is on my left. I don't think he has any idea how irritating I find him.
OMG THEY ARE PLAYING AN JING NOW! THE LIBRARY PEOPLE ARE COOL! HAHAHA.
Alright, so something bad happened today. I feel so bad/sad for my friend involved. Betrayal? Some might say you can't call it that. But I don't think so.
There are just some rights that cannot be practised, in the name of friendship. I sincerely believe in that. And I am so disappointed. Even though the thing didn't happen to me.
I guess we've yet to learn much about the people around us. Sometimes I wish people will put themselves in others' positions and view their actions from the general public's POV. Maybe then, they'd stop and consider the consequences of their actions.
There's a bar of Kitkat White Chunky and a tube of Peanut butter & chocolate Oreos sitting in my bag! Hehehhe.
Aish. Many stuff to do!
Really feel like going to the beach, languish upon the white sand, listen to the crashing of the waves, and wake up to find myself red as a lobster.
Chingoo yah! Remember our trip to Sentosa the other time? We cycled for two whole hours, and then sat in Sakae, stuffing our faces with sushi? That was one of my most enjoyable outings! :) Hope we can do something like that again someday.
I dearly wish to keep vindictive and selfish, uncaring, desperate people away from my friends. Stay away, we don't want you near us.

Buttercup Baby- McFly & Busted |
] |
Aigooooo! This song is absolutely LOVELY! It makes me feel all dance-y like and bouncy! Wheee!
Today's three rounds during training was my best yet. Didn't feel very tired and my legs didn't give me any problems. My timing was 14.30 minutes. Not bad, but there's definitely space for improvement. We played some strategy today. Quite fun, at least its something new!
Hahaha, Roy & Zhiying. Can't get over my dream the night before. It was so real! Teeheehee. Told Roy and his reaction was kinda cute. Lol. After that, he kept throwing furtive glances in our direction. Wanna make my dream a reality, Roy? ;)
Actually today was quite boring. That's about the summary of my day. Other than lessons, of course.
Hahaha, talking to Bob is fun. I've been talking to him about Kitkat Chunky and chocolate for two consecutive days now. Oooh I need my chocolate fix! Huiwen helped me buy Kitkat today, so yummy! But I ate it just before training, and while I was running, could feel the phlegm rising in my throat. Couldn't stand it and stopped to spit it out into the drain. Aiyoh, so unlady-like. Tsk.
Ahhh. Gonna do history now.:)

I'm having a tough time writing the love story. Shucks. I titled it "Memories". Hmm... Currently only at Chapter 2. No idea how many chapters I want to write. Seven perhaps? I'm afraid I'll rush things, yet I don't want to make it too long-winded.
Was very sleepy today, on account of sleeping late the night before, because I was busy rushing out my Chinese compo. 3D Trigo is quite fun, but very challenging. Zhiying has completely lost her head over a certain tall, dark and er, handsome (highly subjective) guy. I was rather annoyed with her constant mentioning of him, but I realised that I am probably like that too. Haha.
Oh, but I do miss my childhood so much. To be young again... Growing up can be an awfully scary process. But at the same time, it's only through growing up that you can create beautiful memories and then reminisce about them.
Something very embarrassing happened to me today. (What's new?) I took the same bus as this friend of mine. We aren't too close or anything, but we've played ball once or twice together. So we sat next to each other, then I dozed off, and the bus jerked and I nearly fell off my seat, and my bottle rolled off me lah! Wah, I was super embarrassed, but I pretended I wasn't and that I was still very sleepy. I think he saw but pretended not to see. Oh, he must think I am a freak! Which isn't far from the truth, but still, I'd have liked to maintain the last vestige of dignity and class that I was desperately clinging on to! (Being overly-dramatic again)
Nothing else to say. Ah I hope I can get on with my story quick. I don't like being restricted by a lack of ideas.

Wake me up when September ends- Greenday |
] |
Yawn, am terribly tired. Love this song by Greenday.
Went to the National Library with Zhiying today. Quite productive.
Managed to almost complete my Math tutorial and did some Econs. We had
bibimbap for lunch in the food court at Parco. Good stuff! Hey Karen,
you should go try it some day! :) Zhonglin and some of his dragonboat
friends were there too, as well as one of NY's PE teachers, Mr. Lee.
Haha. The way Zhonglin and his friends talk is hilarious. I nearly
wanted to spit my food out because I was laughing so hard.
Realised I'm quite a shy person. Don't laugh! When I have to
communicate with people I don't know, I tend to be rather withdrawn and
quiet, and dare I say it, polite and demure. Yes, I felt that way today
around the dragonboat people. (And no, it isn't because of their
overpowering charisma or hotness, because well, that wasn't really
apparent. Aha.) I find it quite impressive how some people can be so
sociable and friendly, and have that natural thing that makes people
want to talk to them. I'm not really a chatty person around strangers,
so if they initiate conversations, I usually won't really follow up,
unless I remember to.
Anyway, we met Emily and Zhiyang after that, in the late afternoon.
Went to McDonald's near Raffles Hotel to study. We also met Mr. Ng!
He's our Chinese teacher. Haha. Zhiyang and Emily make a very cute
couple. Wahaha.
Ohh, I've got tons of stuff to do. I wish the weekend could be three days instead of two.
+ Make card
+ 3 Econs essay questions on Oligopoly
+ Chinese composition
+ Measure for Measure essay
+ Math tutorial 14
+ Love story
+ Animal Farm script
Aaah! I'm going to start on my story tonight. I feel my muse
hovering around me! Today on the bus, I was observing this little boy,
maybe in primary one? Yep, and I got some ideas for my story. Hmm...
I like the Mickey Mouse tops in the shop at Parco! But they're not exactly unique right now. Oh well.
5 weeks and 1 day to Promos! Jiayou everyboday!!
