Have been feeling rather lazy for the past 2 days n even tho there's loads of stuff i wanna type, am generally feeling too lethargic to do so. HA! Anyhow. Recap of what's been happening--

1)Teacher's day celebrations in school. What a crappppy waste of time. For a blow by blow account abt this wonderful occasion, check out Miewlee's site.

2) Watched my 4th movie in 3 days... ie: Signs. Erm. Not as good as i expected. Def not value for $$$ cuz its a miserably short little show! haha.

3) Went to May's house for her bbq party... Saw Mrs. Tay's baby lizzie, she's v v sweet! I say this cuz this is one baby who doesn't cry. Amazing. All she does is gurgle happily n drool. Aww. Only had 2 shots of tequila pop (popped by Johann's large hands <==eeee dunno if they were clean- using Donald's spessh-ell glass haha) n sadly got nagged to death at by mum when she came to pick me up cuz she claimed i reeeked of alcohol. Riight.

4) Went for some UK universities showcase at Hotel Negara this morning... Was bleedin' crowded even at 11am in the morning and most of the reps from the various universities were too busy talking to all the kiasu-as-hell mums/dads so i just grabbed as many prospectus as i could n left within the hour. Did manage to get a speak to a UCAS rep n picked up a few application forms, tho me doubts me will be able to garner the courage to actually fill them up after seeing my prelim results. Plus i doubt my oh-so-lovely teachers'll be giving me any form of a decent projected grade (which is what the admissions ppl look out for) so perhaps taking those forms was pointless, after all!

5)Am off to Leonard/Lipids' (btw for those of u who are wondering... He ISN'T lipidy at all... its just a spastic nickname heheheh!) house to kill time... My life at home is UTTERLY BORING! *mutters*

k quizzes, quizzes n more quizzes:

Awesome party at Orange last night. Fantastic music n funky-ish sorta atmosphere, and since it was Ladies Night, Immy and I really did get the best deal. Heh. Had one too many daiquiris and so i staggered home barely semi-conscious at 3.30am with Ollie, Imogen n Aidan. Amazingly tho i managed to haul my fat arse outta bed by 9.30am this morn, and i left those 3 sleeping soundly on the floor while i went over to Alvin's house to see his baby bunnies!!!! ooOH they're shoooooo cute! Love 'em. The rabbits are teeeny tiiinny, about the size of one's palm. Gawd they're real sweeties!!! I want one of 'em... heh. Was carrying one n it curled up into a tiny litttle fuzzy fuzzball n promptly fell asleep in me hands! Awww... *glazed look*

Yaaay! Have finally watched Unfaithful, and i am ga-ga over olivier martinez. He is one gorgeous dude. Haha. Was generally unimpressed by the movie due to its really spastic plot (PLUS lovely olivier had to friggin' DIE damn *&@#^@!%#)*@# director) and also cuz Julian had to go tell me the ending yesterday. Hrrmph. Nonetheless it was enjoyable fer me (due to gorgeous mr. martinez's presence *drools*) haha, tho i don't think Alvin and Aaron were very entertained by the movie. Oops! Sorry, guys. *grin*

DAMN! Am i a web-jinx or summat?! Everrrry important site i've been trying to visit for the past few weeks is down whenever i need to use it. UGH. *shakes head in amazement* Reaaally can't believe this is happening, hahaha. What a LIFE!!! :P

N.B: me is not a miewlee groupie, in case anyone got the wrong idea from her site haha. Also, added the lovely lihling under clickety-clicks... Check her pretty blog out! =)

Sigh my commenting box's been moved to another site... No longer being hosted by millie on yaccs.com (cuz i feel bad for taking up her space/whatever) its now on enetation.com... and currently due to my pathetic html skills its a bit screwed up!!! Plus i've lost all my nice comments. *sob* haha. hopefully with miewlee's help it'll b up n running properly soon. Ooh dear i do mention her name quite a lot now, don't i. Hrm.







Ugggh. Tim just sent me the Rammstein song from xXx the movie and much as he thinks its tha bomb, i think its pretty awful haha (sorreee iitmiing). I don't understand german at all, and like what, half the lyrics involve the lead singers growling/screaming "BANG BANG"... Har? whats the point of the song? haha.

Speaking of movies, class went to watch xXx today. Haha, what a waste of good money. That show is akin to watching cartoons on cartoon network... Such an impossibly improbable plot and cheesy, act-cool one liners like this one-- You're good... but not that goood. ERM! haha. But it seemed to appeal to the guys in my class (possibly the many 3/4 naked women in the show provided extra entertainment LOL), so, well. After which a few of us gurls proceeded to watch Goldmember, which was much, much more entertaining! hahaha nearly laughed to death at the mole, and Tom Cruise's insane getup as Austin. Man. Haha.

Miewmiew doesn't wanna eat the lolly i got for her!!! *sobz* Am hurt!!! haha. Kidding. Oops. sorry woman for charging at u like that in the middle o' the road... *grin* Its alright tho' i'm sure u enjoyed that brief encounter with me anyhow. hawhawhaw.

Oh ya! I'm gonna say this for saying's sake-- THE PRELIMS ARE OVER!!! OLE!!! Heh. To all the poor things out there who will embark on this long and treacherous journey into the unknown over the next few weeks (ie most of singapore), here's wishing you all the best, man. Try not to screw it up, like i know i did. heh. Am going out to Orange now to celebrate this new-found freedom! yaay. Seeya, folks.

Hrm. More things to think about. Was talking to a few of my overseas friends on icq this morning (lucky shits its still summer hols) and managed to do some catching up with 'em. To Marky, Tash, Lee, Garret, Izz, Sal, Gretchie, Matt its been lovely talking to you all! :) *muah, muah*

Speaking of good ole england, have heard that in addition to the one very pregnant friend i heard about 6 weeks ago, 2 other gurlies have gotten themselves preggie too and are planning to keep their babies. Lordy. They're all younger than me. And then there's another friend who's had to drop outta one of england's most prestigious schools (ie: CLC incidentally i studied there for a short while too~) cuz she's just given birth to twins. Sheesh, man. Haven't they heard of contraceptives?! Never go anywhere without them, folks! *grin* But seriously. Can u imagine being shackled down with a squalling infant at 16? Urrgh. I don't like babies at all, so i've no idea how my friends manage. Not just with a kid to look after, but the psychological trauma/stress of being a single mother so young, and the knowledge that they may have just "ruined" (NB: its just my personal opinion, no offence to anyone who begs to differ) their lives in a very, permanent sort of way. *sighs* Poor girls. :| Wonder what i'd have become if i'd stayed on there instead of coming to sinapore. *lol* Prbly be clubbing my life away with my lovely mates, getting so hung over etc n not be studying at all, haha. What a far cry from my life now! But p'raps its actually better for me here, much as i loathe to admit. Heh.

Speaking of my england days... Here are a few teeeny glimpses of my life at CLC... I miss those days. 1st pic: Rasha, n Bryony. Bry's gone back to Oz now, and btw, her dad's some pow-wow big shot at Nike. Lucky kid. Rash is doing drama at some fancy schmanzy school in London now. Another lucky kid. We (at least i do) all look prettty bad in the 2nd pic cuz it was taken just after our baths. *ooh* Wet stringy hair galore!!! The gurlie next to me (eep) in the purple tee is Rupert Everett's cousin, FYI.





Screw cheapo web hosting. The pics choose to appear at times, and disappear when they feel like it. Hrrrmph.

Ahhh... Lipids Wee has the funkiest house. Well, not really the funkiest house but the stuff in his room! His Apple powerbook or whatever is the epitome of coolness. *lol* I want one too! Plus his surround-sound speakers etc etc. Waaaaah. *incoherent mumbling* Was supposed to be studying but once again, tooo many gadgets proved to be fatal distractions... We (or at least me) ended up playing with his computer, blasting the sound system, eating packet mee goreng n cup noodles and many many medium boiled eggs and then attempting to play spastic online games like Arcane. Lol! Oooh well. Due to the massive amounts of time spent playing Arcane i didn't get the opportunity to play around with his suppper cooool recording studio!!! Dang. Well i'll definitely get my chance later on, when Althea, possibly Isabel n i record her prize-winning song (its called The Story of Her! haha what a title hurh.) sometime after the prelims. *grin*

Damn. Lipids downloaded the wrong movie fer me. Instead of Unfaithful the movie starring Richard Gere and more importantly, OLIVER MARTINEZ, we got some dodgy old film of the same name (or at least the creep he d/led it from named the file 'unfaithful' as well) starring a butt-uglee Bill Paxton. Aahh GAWD the horror, the horror. Am now desperately hoping that some kind soul who lives near a pirated VCD shack will be able to get the VCD for me instead. Or alternatively one of my nice friends who stays in JB could get it? *prays v hard*

Had another major quarrel with mum today (see i told you it's happening more n more frequently, but this is getting ridiculous), but heck! I'm just tooo fed-up with feeling angry/bitter that i'm just not going to bother about her anymore. For today, at least. So there! >=P

I LOVE MIEWLEEEE!!! The kind hearted, lovely, beautiful child will be getting the "Unfaithful" dvd (pirated, but HECK) for me next saturday when she goes to JB for her class partee. Oh bless the woman. Bless her indeed. *lol*

Ryan how on earth didja do the scrolling thingee? Very nice. Haha... *grin* Now. Who's this Anna n Marilyn whatever?!?! Stay away from them, ya hear mee! haha. Naah. i trust youu, dear. Plus u don't sound like u had much fun last nite so... well. *big HugZ* I won't be call collecting anytime soon, then, huh? haha.

Here's one of them quizzes.

Service today wasn't very enriching... Topic was Husbands and Wives. However i was pretty surprised that my normally liberal-ish pastor kept on going on and on about how wives should always submit to their husbands, husbands are the rightful head of the house, blah blah blah... Basically a loada sexist crap, to me. Of course i then bombarded my mum with a heck loada questions, but she just told me to keep an open mind and trust that the word of God is right. Just that His words can sometimes be twisted out of perspective by people. Hrm. That's food for thought.
Anyhow. Am majorly pissed off with my parents. Just had an argument with them... One in a series of many, many. They keeeeeep yelling at me to study... Like HELLO?! I actually AM! They of the 4 As and ox-bridge educations can't seem to understand why they've been cursed with such a stupid dumb-ass of a daughter like me... who can't even do 4 'a' level subjs! Or even pass her exams on a regular basis! Well, well, well. I'm not cut out for science, as i've told them millions of times, but Nooo... They couldn't see that even in my secondary school days i always excelled at my humans n struggled with science... And forcing me to take triple science, no less, in jc would be nothing short of TORTURE for me. And now, while i go through sleepless nights worrying about my work n my future, all they can do is tell me that i should be working harder n that if they could do it, so can i. What a loada CRAP. I hate parents who expect their offspring to achieve exactly the same things they did. C'mon, just cuz we share a heck loada genetic material doesn't mean i'm gonna be exactly the same as them, am i????!!! Geez. It doesn't help that our education system is so rigid n... bleugh. I've always maintained that i would definitely do much better overseas than here in singapore (as proven by my prrretty decent SAT scores n other tests i've had to take for entry to schools overseas) but once again they choose to remain oblivious. They're so blinded by their logic and reasoning they can NEVER see or at least consider my "pathetic" point of view. Was sleeping just now cuz i am tired and falling ill, when my dad just farking barged in and told me to get up n work. He said something like "its not the system, its YOU! if you sleep all the time and refuse to get up to work then how can u blame your poor results on the system?!" As usual, he doesn't bother to find out that i'd only been sleeping for abt 15mins. And that the flu i'm coming down with is due to both him and my mum being sick in the house... Much as i love them and they love me i often feel that i'm just a pathetic disappointment to them... Being the only child of two doctors (ahh.. now u know why they have the high expectations) i know they expect so so much more from me but i just can't seem to deliver. And when my mum says its ok that you had to drop physics and at the next moment she tells me in that wistful tone of hers about how she hears of all her colleague's/friend's kids doing what, 2-3 S papers n applying for a billion scholarships, i know deep down inside my parents aren't ok with me not doing 4 subjs. Its times like that when i feel totally useless and recently (with the impending a levels and all) that feeling's been growing day by day. I really, reallllly wish i could be that super child i know my parents were and want, but i'm sorry mum n dad, i just don't think i can, much as i've been trying. :( I know they're not very happy about my aspirations to become a lawyer...and i know they don't understand why i spend so much of my time on choir... perhaps i devote so much of my energy n effort on choir cuz at least i know its something i'm not too bad at... and sometimes when i see that my effort has paid off it gives me a boost of sorts... it keeps me going when i'm really down, esp about grades n stuff. *sigh*
what a depressing rant. I so rarely, rarely get into moods like this... it feels like awful. hopefully tmr's post'll be much, much happier :(

I love my bf! He's shooo, erm, sweet *lol*... He never fails to cheer me up whenever i'm down. Thank you for everything dear it means a lot to me... *big squishy hugz* =)

Thanx brudder nat for helping me fix the problem with my screwed up icq. its working fine n dandy now~ *bows low to the genius of all things PC-related*

Just came home with bertina from NUS open house. Met bert, grace, julia, iris, qianyi and sufei by chance! Was there with my mum but she left for home after being bored stiff by all the talks. Apparently the super scholars of 2SC6 (well, perhaps ONE super scholar n one NOT so super), ie:chintau n chunsong were there in the morning too but didn't bump into them, much to the disappointment of qianyi, methinks. Urm. Well all i can say is that it wasn't very informative and basically a waste of time, altho the law talk was pretty interesting. Was by the lady who hosts the SIA JC debates, eleanor something-or-the-other. However the medical talk was beyond depressing. Some stuffy old fart had to proclaim to the world that ALL the ppl who apply for medicine usually have 4 As. As in, 4 grade As, not 4 A level subjs. Erm. Yah.Well, sorta expected that already, but still! To make matters worse he said most of them had distinctions for all their s papers too... Since everyone's doing so well, now the med faculty'll have to look at *gasp* MOTHER TONGUE n GP grades to make their selection... Aiii. Then the bleedin' fella saw the rows of dejected faces so he attempted to throw some psychobabble bull$hit at us abt how NUS actually isn't *big gasp* looking for straight A students, they want all-rounders blah blah blah. What the?! Hate the Singapore education system cuz its so bleedin' hypocritical n pathetic. If they KEEEEP on insisting that super grades aren't the MOST important thing then WHY do all the people who get mediocre (ie:BBBB or BBBC or whatever) grades not qualify for these courses?!? What bull la. And the most ironic thing is, even with the govt stressing on the importance of encouraging local talent to stay in singapore, the education system simply doesn't make that possible. I know of a friend who had 4 As for his 'a's but failed chinese, and NUS didnt accept him for medicine, even after numerous appeals. He's now reading medicine at King's College, UK, and he plans on staying there after he graduates. Hello?! He IS local talent, but if the stupid education system can't see beyond lousy mother tongue grades, they're gonna be losing more n more ppl like him in the future. And actually they already are. So who's fault is it that our local talent are moving on to greener pastures overseas?!

So. Well. Thank goodness i've never harboured hopes of becoming a doctor, unlike some of me pooor friends. It's pretty scary, actually, having your future hanging in the balance... Not quite sure where my 'a' level grades'll take me. I'm hoping its gonna be law in the UK, but who knows? Thinking abt the future makes me just a little... well. Worried/depressed, for want of a better word. Ok nevermind, i shall immerse myself in haagen daz tiramisu ice cream n cheer up a little.

Ooh once again, thanx miewleee for setting up my commenting box! i lurrve u gurl. haha in a strictly non-lesbianic way, i assure you. =P

Hahahaha just got my daily dosage of laughter fr my brudder nat. hahahahahha OMG check what he's done to himself HERE!!!! I quote him: "can use it like some laugh-a-day thinggy." Indeed we can, man! *grin* Too bad he doesn't want me to link the other pic he showed me... LOL.

K here's the daily quiz, thingee. Haha. What a scareee result.

Yaay. Today is the day of my 2nd last paper!!! After chem paper 2 this afternoon, i'm more or less free from the horrors of the prelims cuz there's only chem paper 1 next weds, and its an MCQ paper so the stress factor isn't quite as high. Alas for my poor friends who take physics, there's still the option paper on monday... Take heart! I am with you in *spirit*. Hrm. lol

Peiyi's just arrived at my house... going to *study* for chem before setting off for school together later. Will be going out with may after the paper to her mum's beauty salon thingy to get my eyebrows erm, well, reshaped/plucked/whatever. She, of the perfect skin, is complaining abt her *awful* complexion of late so she's getting a facial. Pah! What a load o' tosh, her skin's really good~ :( *envy* k gotta get back to my work..... *mutter*

Ole! Am full, and happy. Just did my eyebrows, had a great dinner with my parents at tanglin club, and am feeling pretty great since #1: my 2nd last paper's OVER!!! #2: It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. *grin* If i'm really lucky i should be able to pass.

aaron very kindly walked me from lucky plaza to tanglin club today... If you're reading this, Thanx, dude! :) Pity u didn't stay for dinner, the burger was fantastic. An egg, bacon, grilled onions, mushrooms all piled onto a big beef patty with spicy fries! *drool*

Anyhow. Perhaps i'll sound like an old prude/prune/whatever when i say this (really i'm not hahaha), but i'm really horrified at what some women wear on the streets today. Saw this buncha women wearing micro, micro, micro mini skirts and teensy-tiiiny tops... Like c'mon what's the bleedin' point of wearing anything if you're gonna wear stuff (or lack thereof) liike that! And a mere 250m after seeing them, we saw this other girl wearing a blouse split right up the front from the bottom up... if the wind blew any harder (ie: like a gentle breeze or summat) her boobs'd be in full view.(haha good for the pervy men n women out there tho) Ugh. Surely, if anyone wanted to flaunt their figures they could find a more tasteful way to do so? Dunno... Thought they looked really, well, prostitute-ish, with their garish makeup and all. Haha perhaps they were, on 2nd thoughts. Or maybe its just a desperate cry for attention... I dunnno. Heh.

It is Nat's birthday today! Happy burrfday brudder. Hope you have a wuuunderful one in spite of the prelims... At least u didn't have no papers today man! Yeah. Happy, happy 18th~

just woke up from a nap... forgot to set my alarm, and thus, have overslept by 1.5 hrs. Have to go pick up aaron in about 30 mins for chem tuition... lol he'll be the only guy in class today, methinks, with at least 6-8 other gurls from my class. How fortunate is he?! :)

bio prac was, erm well. interesting, to put it mildly. Have never been asked to paint itty bitty squares of nail varnish on leaves or on my finger for a practical exam before, but hey! There's always a 1st time for everything innit? Completely forgot abt lung anatomy, so i'm prbly gonna fail a question but well i hope the other 2'll make up for that one *hopes* Speaking of prac, chicken never fails to amaze me with his erm, antics. Today he attempted to use my microscope to do his experiment lol. Of course the genius failed to see he actuallly had one too!!! hahaha~

lol i cant believe the results for this quiz~!


back from tuition. class of 9 ppl! lol it was pretty fun tho. lots of laughter mostly at elena's expense n of course some random rubbish such as changing chintau's name to chinsau (sow?!?) instead... hopes chem'll go well tmr, its an afternoon paper, good thing, cuz then i'll have the morning to mug a little bit more. *sigh* Am v prepared to fail the prelims, judging by how the papers've been going, i'll prbly only pass biology! Ah well, i can sorta forsee my future as a cleaning auntie in acjc or summat. Or mebbe some assembly line factory worker! woohoo...!

millie's gonna entertain me with her new song chicken fat soon haha dunno y i'm so tickled by that song title. Hrm. Maybe cuz i know a few ppl who i've nicknamed chicken (ie: ref to abv incident abt microscope)? lol. anyways do drop by her site to check out her version of male, erm, beauty??

Should be studying for next paper ie:biology practical but somehow the thought of staring at notes again doesn't really appeal to me at present. Ah well! Shall continue studying at 10pm... sighs~ But before i do that, here's a test for ya'll to take--
