did you know...

You can't boil milk in an electric kettle? WTF!

I didn't know that. Unbelievable.

I started boiling the milk and there was that chao da smell. It got damn bad but I never knew you could burn milk in a kettle.

After pouring the milk away I saw all the carbon collected on the bottom.

I am a failure in the kitchen.

transformers!

I want to watch it tomorrow. I might be. I hope so.

I love getting to know new people. Its so exciting.

I stayed up till 3am last night talking to someone new. But actually I was helping Mimi with Math.

Still, it was fun though I only got 3 hours of sleep before my math paper. Which I screwed up, along with the rest of the TPJC math-taking student population.

I didn't touch math for 3 weeks up till yesterday. I practiced and everything, but I guess it all kinda leaked out during the 3 weeks of nonsense. And when they say you should sleep early before a math paper, they weren't kidding. I was making the stupidest mistakes and thank god they gave us an extra 20 minutes. So I could backtrack and do those questions again.

3 hours 20 minutes sitting and writing answers that are mostly probably wrong. But hey at least I tried till the very last minute, though I wanted to give up halfway haha.

Ok on this blog that nobody reads I swear I will start mugging next week. It's not a choice. IT WAS NEVER A CHOICE! RAR!

Time for a nap.

the most dysfunctional test, and hanging your brother 101

Bio mid year exam test was today! Sad to say... it was easy BUT FUCK LA you know when its easy and you haven't studied enough? Don't you just hate the feeling?

Anyways. In my case it was more than just not studying enough.

First, I was late. Wasn't much of a problem though even though the first 5 minutes was spent organizing my thoughts before starting to do my MCQs. They were pretty do-able so it wasn't so bad.

Structured question on evolution. Totally skipped it. 10 marks worth. Heck, I didn't even TOUCH my evolution notes so whatever.

Second, i'm still running the flu. My throat starting itching like mad suddenly, and everytime I swallowed, the itch just got worse. I had to cough, like mad cough but I restrained myself like crazy cause I didn't wanna disrupt others doing the paper. Swallow, tahan, swallow, tahan and I started tearing. I couldn't take it. I started tearing up so bad Hafizah thought I was crying.

I bet people thought it was 'omg i didn't study i am going to dieeeee' but no it really wasn't that.

Ms Ong came to me and asked me if I had medication to take. I said no while desperately wiping my tears away while trying to keep myself from gagging. Left the class and everyone STARED at me cause my eyes were teary.

I ran to the toilet and hacked my brains out. Drank water from the TAP several times, gargled, coughed and spat, blew my nose, neatened my hair and walked back to class looking as normal as I could.

Wasted a good 10 minutes on that.

And finally. Had an hour to do two essay questions, 40 marks. I was getting frantic so I gabra read part (a) of the first essay qn. Right before I started writing, I ended up glancing at part (b) and furiously wrote an entire essay on DNA replication. That was part (b).

After I finished it, I looked back at qn (a), and I went 'oh FUUUCK man got my concepts totally mixed up' in my head and absent mindedly crushed my essay and put it one side.

Did part (a) finally, then stared at (b).

'Wait, wasn't that what I wrote just now?'

My exclamation "SHIT!" alarmed the crap out of Ms Devi. I uncrumpled the ball of paper that had (b)'s answer and flattened it out as nicely as I could, as much as it didn't make a difference.

I very politely wrote at the very top of the page:

'I am very very very very extremely sorry for the state of this paper :( '

Luckily I know the bio tutors personally, except the chinese lady. So I can explain what kinda nonsensical circumstances produced that.

I think the whole thing's effin' hilarious. Next month i'll read this again and have a bledy good laugh at myself.

I have to study math now if I don't wanna fail tomorrow BUT I shall blog first.

So this morning before I left for school, Ash 'Fleetfoot' Smellybro decided to hotfoot it to Changi Village for like the millionth time this month, after kicking the neighbour's car several times.

See what I have to put up with? Before a fucking exam too. Your life doesn't suck, honest.

Anyway, I didn't bother pursuing him, he just runs and runs and gets tired after awhile. Pa was JUST starting a class in the ship simulator when I called, so I told him to conduct the class and get him when he's free to do it. Cause it's kinda bad that he has to rush out of meetings/cancel classes just to come all the way back to the eastside to pick up my brother from his quest to reach Changi Village via the TPE.

After the bio paper, I got Pa's msg saying he got Ash and he's home. I reached home and he had his legs bound.

Ok ok I know it sounds bad but fuck, I don't have to justify this to people who don't understand. Those who do, :)

He can walk around, just with small steps. Just now he was asking to be untied - I told him no, you're being punished, so just be a good boy.

But no. He tried to climb over the gate with his feet bound. He was almost successful in getting over if Maryjane (my maid LAH!) and I hadn't reached him first.

He was smart, he sat on the top of the gate and moved his feet over the edge. Before he could do it, I caught the bandage that bound his feet. At this point he almost got his legs over, so his bum was on the other side of the gate already. I was holding his feet on the other side, so can you IMAGINE? Hahaha. His knees were over on the side I was holding his feet so he didn't break any bones, unfortunately.

It was getting painful for him but if we had let him go, he'd just run off. Or at least try to. So I chopchop got the bandage and bound his hands. The idiot was struggling while hanging upside down. I had half the mind to tie his legs to the gate and leave him like that.

Finally, my maid let his legs go slowly though he still fell on his butt. Had to drag him into the house cause he's such a buffalo then he really started kicking up a fuss so we had to hog-tie him and tie him to the staircase railing.

I swear, he does this ALL THE TIME knowing my dad will rush back to his rescue. Stupid brat. And my dad, not only does he not come home at all now, he spoonfeeds and treats Ash like a baby. I was talking to Aresha about it this morning and she is FED UP.

She wants to rent a HDB flat and live with me. I want also. It won't give us peace of mind, but heck, time spent away from this nuthouse is respite.

Ahh. Dunno what's gonna happen already la. I think someone in my house has to die before my parents realise they have to do SOMETHING. Touchwood though.

Don't like this post?

my sister is in japan again

She's been there since Monday morning and meant to come back on Wednesday. No flights so she'll be back only tomorrow. One week in Japan, after 5 days there about 3 weeks ago.

She's mad.





















I dunno what the hell she's doing there now.

worst day evarrrr garr

Fucking flu.

Fucking period.

Fucking unfinished revision.

It's like... having to do A levels ruins every bloody thing for a good 6 months to a year. And maybe the rest of your life.

Yeah yeah another whiny exam-related post. Le sighe.

chacarron!

I want to bang my head on the table. Several times. But I can't because of all the organic chemistry I studied yesterday.

Studying is hard. It is. Especially when you're someone who's the in-between sort.

You know, you have your super hardworking HCI/RJC students who can mug for days without sleeping. They breathe the H3 science syllabus, and no, the fact that they take almost no time to spend having fun with their friends doesn't bug them at all.

Well yeah they'd do it after their A's and whatever, but.... I just can't work that way.

Then on the other extreme, people who just can't sit down and study. The thought of memorising chapters of chemistry or practicing math might clog their arteries and give them a heart attack. But these people tend to excel in many many other things so it works out for them.

And finally, you have me. The in-between. I can sit down for a few hours, yes, but I lose focus so fast its not funny. And my motivation? Last minute panic.

Last minute panic gave me 13 points for my O's. And I was bawling my ass off in the hall.

I only have about 3months plus before the A's. I'm waiting for the panic to kick in. But it seems to be taking its time.

Am I gonna be mediocre my whole life? :(

pictures pictures!

Surin beat me to it, but I don't care. I meant to post photos anyways.

So I kinda noticed that if my hands have nowhere to go when i'm taking a photo, they decide to make me look as spastic as possible. Honest.







I sent an email to the Royal Veterinary College in London about their admissions. From the looks of it, even before applying I don't think i'll get it. Cause of the fucking admission dates! Grr. I'm practically begging them for provisional entry. Chances are slim, but hey at least I tried.

I'm anxiously waiting for their reply, though I know what its gonna be. But I'm thankful they don't have one of those automatic response bots. God I hate those.

More pictures!




Now I know why we're sisters.

Fi's 17th. I know this is like 6 months old but.... I don't care haha. I just like these cam-whore shots we took while waiting for Nurul to bring Fi so we could surprise her.






Halloween with the class last year -

I have a tendency to look retarded in photos. On purpose.

Remember (or not) we visited some Malaysian flying club!

Ash the co-pilot!



Views from the Cessna!


I had no idea that was what it's called! Did you? Hahahoho.


This is Captain Gopal. He's my father and he can kick your father's ass any day. No la no la haha I just needed to give this a macho caption.


My room is totally orange and red. I don't know how I tahan. Ikea bedsheet colours!


"Why do you keep doing this to me?"
I swear it's frustrating having such a pretty dog that HATES to have her photo taken.



^_^


I walked out of the house one day... to find my dog having an emo moment in the corner of the driveway.


So I went to investigate.




What to do? I can't remember, but I probably ran around the house with her after that. :D

Photobucket is a cheeeeeebai and a half.



I have no idea what she's doing.


"Please, pretty please no more photos?"


I suppose this is her posing for the camera. I... don't know.

Road Run! It was in February... I think.

Not a very impressive sandcastle but a ginormous sandcastle nonetheless.


This is Samuel Soon. He is the coolest boy ever and weighs less than me (i think).
He has the most memorable quotes.
"Aku main mak kau semalam."
That's just one of the many.


I can run faster than you. But.... not longer.

Chingay came to Simpang Bedok ho mai gord! Here's a lousay ass photo from my lousay ass camera.



Cheeeeena New year at our tutor's houssseee.

Tossing Yu Sheng. I said some chinese words I didn't understand before pouring some sauce in. My inner chinese was so proud.


Me and Kenneth... Well before he stopped talking to me. :/


Yeah come on you saw a retarded photo coming didn't you.


MJ and I walking back after dinner at Miss You Cafe :D

May Babies barbequeeeee at some condo at Bedok Reservoir

The lights on the roof. Pretty, yes, but it made the place so stinkin' hot.


This is Ryan's talking-to-Sharon face. Well, everyone looks like that when they talk to Sharon.


Mark Channnnnn. Someone, after an entire year, I've come to respect.


Yes this is my msn dp. Not as nice blown up is it? Heh.

Lastlyyyyy... and most recently, the girlies in Sentosa! Yay! But these are only a few from the bunch of photos.

Trying to take a group shot. I look terrible, as always.

Oops missed out Yiling.


Dammit. Now my giant head is blocking Su.


AGAIN Yiling is missing.


Finally! Though Yiling's head is a bit chopped off haha.


We're the only two who ever wear bikinis. Hmph. Nevermind. Next year my birthday i'll make you all wear bikinis! Roar! Mwahaha.


About time, a photo with all 7 of us. Love them so much la.

Ya so your torture is finally over.

Wait. Not yet.

It's retarded? Well at least it made Mimi's day hahahaha. I dunno what i'd do to see a guy dance like that.

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

heh. i wonder why i worry so much.

Sorry for the mini-hiatus. Had to take down the blog for some.... reasons lah. I'll tell you if you ask me nicely.

Past few days have been spent studying, watching/waiting for the OC to download, a night or two at starbucks, heart-to-heart talks with my mom, getting snapped at by my sister and enjoying almost flawless bass from the lovely headphones.

Not bad, could've been worse. Mom came back from KL on Tuesday. She finally got that well-deserved holiday of hers. Came back quite a nice fake Fendi travel bag. She bought me a fake adidas jacket which might've been pretty nice if the logo wasn't completely off-centre. I'll still use it though. Ok we don't buy everything fake. It's just when you go to KL.... you tend to buy fake things hahaha.

Ok was ranting to Mimi for a moment.

I love her latest blog entry haha. Glad I inspired you, bitch! :D

Friday and Shaturday were fun too, spent with Yigang and Maya for the most part. Once the A's are over, i'll have all the time in the world to spend with you guys, finally. Heck, i'll go to your workplaces and accompany you home. HAHA.

Anyways, the time spent was lovely, despite Saturday's horrible Karaoke- I mean Music @ C-Park. The music wasn't bad, it's just the sound system. It was so fucked up and not built for music at all. I told Pa to take a few pointers for those things they throw for teenagers at Cineleisure or whatever, cause I swear after a certain point in time almost all the seats were.... empty.

Saw Ms Evelyn Chua off at the airport on Sunday. She left for Hungary cause her husband was posted there for two years. Wilbur/Yongquan was like... "So 'cher when you come back it'll be three people right?" Cause she has no kids... yet.

She paused for awhile. Then,

"Ya, a second husband."

I found it funny.

Ok anyway, we left her a bit early to spend some time with her family before leaving, so we wandered around the airport before going home. Felt damn emo man, even the way I was dressed.

So tomorrow i'll FINALLY be watching Shrek 3, after putting it off for about... almost a month.

I know I haven't been blogging much, so i'll just put up photos.

Ok so Photobucket was being a bitch, but now it's okay. I'm feeling lazy though. Soon soon.

no better cure

Just did some lovely online shopping earlier to rid me of my anger-induced nausea. I finally bought grey skinnies and a dress/top thing.

Heh. I just realised I can't shop properly anymore. I dunno why online shopping feels so much better. It's not a good habit, but I guess something's wrong with me.

Sunday, June 10, 2007

Wish I could make a punching bag out of your face. Cause that's how low you've gone, and how much you mean to me at this point.

Heck, if you were a punching bag, it'd be an improvement.

Thinking about the kinda person you are triggers my gag reflex.

I'd better stop blogging about this, lest I puke all over my lovely computer. You're not even worth a vomit-covered mess.

yeowch

Despite everything said and done, it's still the same fucking story over and over isn't it? Gah.

This feeling sucks balls man.

__________________________

The school week is finally over, and it's back to holiday mode again. YAY! Went on a very very unfruitful shopping session with Yigang yesterday. Normally I do like to shop, and with a monthly block allowance the prices go a lot easier on the eyes than before, but after looking at rows after rows of what looks like the 10 millionth mod/retro dress/top you kinda get thrown off shopping entirely.

Finding the perfect skirt was also a bitch and a half. I still haven't though. I think i'd rather shop on weekdays cause the Saturday crowd is madness.

Mom's off again to KL for 3 days. Only. Quite sad la. I will of course be going out tonight and tomorrow night, I hope. Tuesday's Sentosa day with the darlings! Man. I have to put up with so many wretched people save for them. Don't know what i'd do without them :D

Last night I couldn't meet Mon to drink but but but.... He came right to my gate and put a box on the pillar. I insisted he didn't and that he could pass it to me another day but it was a no-win situation cause all I could do was protest from my window.


But now I have these! Thankyouthankyouthankyou Mon! They're lovely and I will be paying you back. I will. Shut up.

This holiday's been pretty good to me, I guess. I'm rewatching The OC Season 3 on the iPod. Yay me!

back to school-izzle

Just for this week. A couple of hours here and there, for chapters we don't need to know for the upcoming Mid Years. Gah. I hate it when they call it mid-year exams. Makes it sound so important.

Well. It kinda is. But still.

Anyways, Last Wednesday evening I went for dinner with Maya and Yiggers. Maya and I had a bit of girly talk before that, which was really GOOD and gosh, I miss going out with them so much! Wtf was wrong with me all the while. I need to go knock my head.

We had good burgers and Billy Bombers which I finally got to try! Then it was a fun bus 12 ride back... Sigh. The perks of not having the momster around.

By the way, she's back. She's been back since last Thursday, and she's been acting like nothing more than a total dipshit it's been driving all of us crazy. Aresha especially.

Ash turned 20 yesterday. 20 but still a 7-year old. Best la, I wish I could be 7. He acted up in the morning and I dragged my ass out of bed at 8am to help tie him up till he calmed down, but we still went to Samy's Curry at Katong Village to eat dinner which was pretty good! Great actually. I need a good Indian food fix every once in awhile despite my failure as an Indian in every other aspect.

Corporal Paul decided to talk to me again today. Haha. I think this time we might actually GO OUT instead of talk cock under the stars, though that's what we do best. Ma will hopefully be off on another trip next week and this time around I shall make FULL USE of every minute she's gone.

Studying's been going pretty blah. Today I realised everyone has yet to start on their revision, which is a BAD THING. It may be comforting to know but 3 weeks is a very short period of time, and squeezing in revision for the rest of the chapters afterwards will be very very tricky considering the Math Dept hasn't even finished the FUCKING SYLLABUS.

Oh yes. Aresha and I now have a set plan. After my A's (for which i'll hopefully score As), I'll apply for a university in the UK. And. My sister will come with me! YAY! She actually wants to leave now, but decided to wait for me instead.

After all that, we'll decide whether to stay or come back. When I say stay, I mean permanently. It really kills me la but my sister says its for the better. According to her, in Singapore, you work twice as hard to earn half the moolah you could be earning in another country. I suppose the UK has more opportunities for both her and me so it almost sounds like a movie-worthy adventure.

If we screw up? Haha. Aresha non-chalantly said we have the house to fall back on. Risky, but my parents are all for her and me embarking on a new life.

If it really happens, I don't know what i'll do without the people I love so much. You know who you are.

:(
