Creating Memories

Scroll down and look at Lady Rouge. Isn't it a beautiful pair of earrings? <3 Sometimes I look at my pathetic set of wires and beads... and wish I could create such beauties. =(
I think dark red really is my thing. =) That, and black. Or dark colours in general.

You know, people who like dark colours may not really be dark in personality.
Or are they??

I have a theory that bright people should wear dark to balance the flow of energy within them. And dark people should wear bright colours, for the same reason. Is this logical?

This blog is supposed to be abandoned - but one more rant before I go.

SHUGO CHARA NEEDS MORE IKUTO.

'Nuff said. D:

I mean, how many shoujo animes have FLASHBACK EPISODES.???
And this is the second bloody flashback episode that SC! has. Of course, after the first flashback episode, they made up for it with an awesome! playground episode. Which was one of my favourite chapters in the manga.

BUT BUT. The next two episodes..... one is about some unintroduced character, and the next is about Rima.

Only the third is about Utau, which might guarantee some Ikuto screentime, but WTH.

Oh! And I got reassurance from Sandy that SchoolXFight WILL NOT be going the same way as most shoujo mangas. I.e. The girl hates the guy at first. Ends up liking the guy.

She will still like Akira! Yes! <3 I was truly afraid that she would end up liking the other guy, coz he obviously likes her.

sasayaki = murmur. Only realised when Dia kept talking about it. She was repeating something about the 'murmurs of the heart'. Which means she can read other people's heart. Pretty cool, huh? Next to Kusu Kusu! and Yoru, she's about my favourite Shugo Chara. =) I mean, Miki's cool, but the other scs are getting more screentime than Ran, Miki and Suu. Cute as they may be, the others are beginning to be cuter!

Which leads to a random thought.
Is it okay to say 'more cuter'? I mean, I suppose it's grammatically incorrect. But it sounds so nice! English is wonky sometimes. Like 'colour' and 'toward' instead of 'towards'? =/

Correction:

Have decided that f-locking is pretty safe.
So my new blog is http://disfigureddream.livejournal.com

That is, if anyone sees this. ^^

I'M MOVING TO LIVEJOURNAL.

This will officially be the last post on this blog.
I'll edit this post to put in the details as to why later.

As for my new url... Smart people will be able to find it. XD
And no, it's not simplicityinviolet.
No, it's not aria191.

edit:

In case you haven't noticed, the previous nine posts have been removed. Over the course of the rest of the year, I will slowly remove all the other posts - when I have the time. It's just not worth it if people can sever ties with me over a few bloody posts. If my friend's can't take my opinions, then I don't want anyone to read them except those who can read, accept, and understand.
That's the reason why I'm not disclosing my lj url.
Because I believe that only the friends who can understand will be able to find out what my url is. That way, no one gets hurt, and I get to blog what I wanna.

If you read them, good. =) If not, it's okay. I don't really blog about important stuff anyway.
I will probably be doing the same for eyewitness. It contains too much teacher-bashing. Admittedly, the teachers probably know about it already - it's the first result if you search 'ms gwee' on the search engine. Along with along miscellaneous teachers... so.
If you really want to read my posts, read them before I remove them all. Thanks.
See you in lj. =)

I'm going to blog in school today. So that once I go home, I won't have an excuse to touch the computer. I really have to start studying for my chemistry test tomorrow.

I was angry about something today, but have forgotten... Hm. Let me recall..

Ah yes. The National Day Celebrations.
Whatever possessed our principals to think that we would enjoy standing out on the road in the hot sun saying the national pledge while dying of heat stroke?
And not only that. They seem to find it... a... celebration???

Maybe it's just me... But sorry, hon. I don't find anything celebratory about getting sunburnt while professing my non-existent love for Singapore.

It's not like they -asked- us if we want to be out there in this 'once in a lifetime opportunity'. They just volunteered our services. Yess... I would SO MUCH RATHER BE DOING THIS. Please, I'd rather sit through ten sessions of math. And that's alot from me, mind you.

Not only that, the most ludicrous thing of all is..
We have to bloody wear our family t-shirts. WITHOUT PINAFORES ON TOP.
Gee, have you any bloody idea how terrible our family-tees look like? They resembles blotches of cloth with a elongated black rectangle pasted over the chest region.
Ugly, terrible style, and utterly humiliating.
Thank you so much, to the aspiring fashion designer who designed it. I wish I knew your name, coz I'd never ever buy any of the clothes you design in the future. Actually, I'd be surprised if anyone wanted to buy your products. So you can design your way to social and fashion perdition. JUST LEAVE US INNOCENT STUDENTS OUT OF IT.
If you want to design fashion disasters, it's perfectly fine. If you don't force innocent victims to wear it, that is.
And even worse? Forcing us to -buy- it. Hello, daylight robbery. Nice to be meeting you once again. We seem to have crossed paths very often nowadays! I think that I shall see more of you in the near future.

I really envy Ama. She gets to pon school freely. >.< All she has to do is go get an MC.
My parents, however, scream bloody murder if I ever -suggest- faking an illness to get out of a retarded social exercise to profess love for something that I do not love, and has no effect whatsoever on my mental growth, unless my brains get fried in the sun (Like my friend's uncle), and I end up as a mental lunatic.

Why is it that we aren't offered a choice? I would have loved it if they had simply said " Those who wish to come" before throwing their usual sales pitch.
Simply forcing us to go, THEN adding stuff about how wonderful it is (stuff and crap about saying the pledge the same time as President Nathan. Let me clue you in. I don't give a damn about the president or the prime minister. I don't go with politics, see? So sod off, and leave my life alone. Like who -really- feels honoured about the Youth Olympics being held in Singapore? Precious few. I'm not going to watch it. I'm not even interested in it. I couldn't bloody care less if the Youth Olympics were held in, say, Malaysia or China. It makes no bloody difference! Some people run around a track, or swim a few laps in Singapore, and I'm supposed to feel honoured? Sorry. I just don't feel the glory rubbing off on me as a Singapore citizen, so cut the crap and propaganda. )

I hate my school.

And let me continue complaining about the stupid Youth Olympics.

They bloody set it as a Chinese Oral examination question. And they expect me to converse fluently and agreeably about how I feel HONOURED and HAPPY about it?
Sorry, my level of chinese just isn't good enough for me to talk about what I don't truly feel.
But when I express my TRUE AND HONEST OPINION (namely, that I don't feel that the Youth Olympics has any effect on me as a person, and honestly, I couldn't care less, because it doesn't concern me.) they fail me.
Why do my marks depends on hypocrisy and propaganda?

Does it mean that if I feel honoured about the Youth Olympics, it means that I am more intelligent, and thus should get higher marks?
And conversely, if I don't feel honoured about the Youth Olympics, and don't give a damn about it, I am hence more stupid and retarded and should get lower marks?

Such obtuse blockheadness is surprising in a self-declared developed country and world.

--

And what next? YES, THE NAMETAG.
We have to freaking wear nametags on our shirts! (And if you had any idea how poor the quality of the material of the shirts we paid twelve bucks for was...)
Their rationale is : If we need to go to the toilets, we need to hand in our nametags.
Well, maybe I can see a little hint of reason in that.

But why does it justify the need to WEAR IT.

And don't worry folks, I -won't- be using the toilet from 9.30-12.30
I utterly deplore portable toilets. They stink to hell, and are pretty indecent. I feel dirty after coming out of one of them, because even though you wash your hands, you have a sneaking suspicion that the water you washed your hands with is not entirely clean.

So I might as well leave the nametag off.
And to detract from the ugliness of my family t-shirt, I will wear a jacket.
No, I don't care if it's going to be bloody hot. It's their fault for making it at 12.30 in the afternoon instead of 8.30 in the morning, as it should be.
And when the camera comes, I'm going to either turn my face away or frown such that anyone watching will KNOW THAT I AM SUFFERING from the delusional whims of the high powers up there, with their butts on nice comfy cushioned seats.

---Since Renwei warned me off complaining about the government, this chunk of words has been deleted.----

Moving on...

-----------

Friends, we are living in an asinine time and age. And the only way to survive is to be asinine too. Where is the supposed justice in this? And yet the school pledge includes (more hypocrisy) stuff like 'strive to promote truth, justice, freedom, and love'
And the chinese version of the pledge is even worse. All that rubbish about being ladylike. NO GIRL, no matter how guniang can look glam and ladylike while sweating it out on her 2.4 km run. Yet they make us do it. Adults just don't make sense!

---

I'm going a little bit off the mark.

So anyway, I conclude that the National Day Celebrations is nothing more than a pretence. One intended to fool no more and no less than ourselves. Geniuses, we are.

---

I'm glad I didn't see my chinese teacher today. I really get sick of being picked on.
When other people don't know the bloody meanings of the words she says, she doesn't tell them to come out to the board.
If other people had not known how to write the words on the board (like duh, if you dont know the meaning, how do you know the word?) she would not have told them to take a seat at the teacher's table, with all the eyes of their classmates on her.
If someone else had been forced to sit at the teacher's table, she would not have publicly asked the class if anyone knew how to write, got three people who did know to write it on the board, and get her to copy the words out.

In short, my chinese teacher would not have done to someone else what she does just for me.
I don't feel flattered or honoured. Just annoyed and pissed.

When other people stumble over certain words while reading a chinese passage, she does not send them out of the class till they can pronounce them properly.
When other people write dumb topics for their compositions, she does not raise them as an example and mock it openly in front of the class, saying that it was ridiculous and unrealistic.
When she asks other people to answer her questions for Oral practice, she does not interrupt them halfway and contradict them till they can say no more. And after that, she does not get the two top scorers in chinese in the class to say their piece, and commend them happily.

Because she bloody knows my chinese is bad, is not a good reason to use the top scorers in chinese as a comparison against me.

---

I think my seating-partner was feeling bad about it. Because after she had another round of 'let's poke fun at the girl whose chinese sucks and hold up her poor command of the language for the whole class to see', she handed back the compositions, and she had the highest marks in class. Gwyneth, I don't know if you read my blog, but it really isn't your fault. Your chinese is good, and that's good for you, so you can use your chinese o level marks in your L1R5.

---

I'm tired. I don't want to continue learning chinese if I have to face this kind of ridicule every time my teacher steps into the class.
I'm just really really tired. How much humiliation can one stand?
Whenever it happens, I put my blank face on. But sometimes, it really takes alot of effort to maintain it. To pretend I really don't care and that I really don't notice or think that she's picking on me. But I have my pride too you know. I happen to possess a sense of self-esteem, and self-worth.
Sometimes I'm really afraid... that I'll just break out crying cos I can't take it anymore. Maybe if she only did it once... But I really hate public humiliation. Actually, who wouldn't?
I can't argue back, because she doesn't give me a chance to fully explain my theories. Added to that, the little chinese that I know doesn't exactly grant me good debating ability.
Hence, I really do think it sucks that she devotes her full energy to contradicting me and proving me wrong.
If we argued in english, she wouldn't stand ten seconds against me. But there's the rub.

She likes to tell the class about her past students who still call her to thank her once they get their results.
But what of those who don't get good results?
And she likes to tell stories about past students who have succeeded in their careers, and are still grateful to her for 'shaping their characters'.
But what of those who don't succeed, and attribute their failures to her, because she was the one who dampened their morale. Who convinced them that they wouldn't make it.
After all, she did tell other classes that we wouldn't make it to a good jc.
Sometimes that makes me want to get to a top five jc just so that I can come back to the school, and tell her : You said I wouldn't be where I am now, and now I am. And let me tell you, you made my secondary school life suck, and without you, I might have had better success. So let me give you a tip. Stop ruining the lives of other people, because their lives are worth more than a million of your worthless life.

That's pretty sore. Strange that everyone who leaves the school misses it and loves it.
But that's because we forget. It is in human nature to forget.
I, however, bear grudges for longer than most. Anyway, that's why I'm blogging. So I'll never forget how I (and others) suffered at the hands of duck and gwee.

Sometimes, I dream of becoming famous. And they would tell me to make a speech thanking everyone who has helped me.
In those dreams, I would have had just graduated from st nicks/still in st nicks, and I would thank my friends, family, and God. And then a voice would ask me : what about St Nicholas?
And I would answer : if St Nicholas has affected my abilities and confidence in any way, it was to destroy it. To quash me down, and tell me that I was crap. Because this is what I have learnt in my nine years at this school. It's every girl for herself, and you just gotta learn how to survive, or die.

I only have twelve minutes left to finish my post.
And I'm really tired. Okay, I keep repeating myself.

---

Anyway, on happier matters, I've decided to enter for the romance story-writing competition I couldn't last year, because I was ill, and did not submit my entry in time.
I already have a plot idea. But I can't write it, because my chemistry test is tomorrow. >.< Gah.

I really want to win something, but am well aware of the fact that my writing prowess is not sufficient.
Still... The stories who won weren't exactly the cream of the crop either. No offence to those who won.
Online stories are way better.
But since I have established that you don't need to be good to win something, I've decided to give it a shot. Pearl is co-writing a story with her friend. XD Her story was published last year, so she'll probably stand a chance of winning something this year!
Suddenly realised I don't have many happy things to blog about.
Hmm. Jf got the bracelet I made/gave by proxy XD And she noticed the colour of the beads I used (Burgundy, swarovski crystal bicones.)

Oh yeah! The cca teacher forgot whatshername wanted Vanessa to make bookmarks out of string as presents for other teachers (why she got her to do it, I have no idea. So I came to the conclusion that teachers are too lazy to make their own bloody presents, and make use of free student labour.)
Me: So you're going to make all the bookmarks by yourself?
V: No, you're going to do it with me.
Me: But I'm hopeless at handicrafts!
V: The bracelets/jewellery.....
Me: BUT THAT'S WIRE. Anything I touch gets into a knot, and the only reason I can make metal jewellery is because..
V: It can't get into a knot?
Me: Exactly!

---

I guess I'll probably help out anyway and try not to make myself a nuisance.

And my time is up. And I haven't eaten lunch. Still, I ate two plates of rice during recess, so I should be fine.

Today my blog had the highest amount of hits ever.

53. That's what I call a new record (I, who unlike you, do not usually get heavy traffic on this blog.)

However, something makes me doubt that the spike of 30 increased visitors was caused by my superior blogging ability. =/

Ah well. I guess it's a good thing... maybe. Just maybe.

Speaking of which! I forgot to complain.

Kenneth's sister who is in St Nicks said that Library people are weird!
Whyyyy?
We're not weird - right?

How can people discriminate by cca! We librarians are happy hard workers yet slackers (pardon the oxymoron.) yet we are NORMAL BUT INTERESTING.

Saying that all librarians are weird is a sweeping statement much like saying "All sports people are jerks" (no offence, I used that statement as an example.)

Next thing you know, we'll be saying that dance people enjoy the yes we can, can-can. And all Youth Mission people LOVE OLD PEOPLE.

*huffs*

St Nicks is more strange than I would have thought.
Seline tagged less than half an hour ago, so I would assume she is blogging right now. She'd better! I've been waiting really long for an update. XDD Her blog is just nice to read.

*sighs*
Why is it so few librarians have blogs?

To date I have 873 posts on this blog.
My scrabble competition post was 2373 words.
My rant on faith was 1152 words.
Random.

I didn't blog on the forum blog about AI BoT's death, so ezyl-chan did it instead. Maybe I'll edit it to contain my POV later. Quite tired.

Today at church.. Can I say? Food at the canteen was not breakfast material. Nicholas was fasting, and refused to eat meat. Melvin ate his spaghetti in an exagerrated way to rub it into him that he can't eat it.

I was irked during catechism. My teacher (as usual, the MISOGYNISTIC CHURCH. What less could be expected?) said that women's main priority should be to have children, and not careers. Why? Coz, apparently, God made females to have kids.

It's supposed to be chinese catechism, but I ended up debating in english (irritating Melvin and Joseph. But what do they know? They're MALES.) And I told my teacher he was making unfounded statement without proper proof and using far-fetched examples to prove an imaginary point.

And he ended up saying more irrelevant and unfounded statements to throw me off my track. Okay, whatever. Females don't have a stand. I get it.
When I'm twenty-one, I'm going to move out, so my parents can't make me go to church anymore. And they can't nag me about ANYTHING. And I get my own cupboard, without other people dumping stuff in them. And I get my own room. Scrap that, I get my own HOUSE. AND NO ONE, absolutely NO ONE will use my toothbrush except for me.
That is my definition of heaven on earth, thank you very much.

I must have run through zillions of toothbrushes because people (hintbrother,mother,andfather!?!?hint) who don't recognise their own toothbrush, must needs take mine and use it! And then I rant to disinterested parents (who don't think that sharing toothbrushes is a big deal. Hello, unhygienic?) and they tell me to stop whining and go buy another toothbrush.
When I do buy another toothbrush, someone else uses it within days/weeks.

It's a sad day when a girl can't call her toothbrush her own.

Oh wait, I digress.

Females do actually HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF GETTING MARRIED and (I quote verbatim) "helping her husband" with whatever he's interested in doing! Why aren't males expected to settle down, have families, and stay at home to aid his wife? Why??
And females can't be priests either.
Joseph said it's because if the priest is female, the audience will be too busy looking at her to focus on the mass.
And worse crap I have rarely heard in my life.
If guys can look at girls, won't girls look at guys? It's an unbelievably ridiculous stereotype.
Females can become nuns, but not priests. And guys get to become priests and bishops, and the pope. Why do females get stuck being sisters only? It's not like they're not just as religious and devoted and dedicated, and capable or making sermons you know!

I hate hate hate going to church. I hate catechism. I hate feeling that I'm expected to accept things for the way they are.
How can the church simply assume that everything they think is correct?
On what basis do they have to think and do so?
The bible?
It was written by humans, approved of by the pope - also human.
They say the pope represents the father, etcetera.

But the pope was chosen by (very much human) archbishops (I think. Read something about that before.)

And how would any human know which text was written by God?

How would any human know or be able to guess what way God really wanted things to be like?

And following on that, how could anyone know whether God opposes female priests?

They said it before! They said that females had poor standing in those times.

Times have changed. So what of the old, and redundant rules?

And also, how would -we- know whether those priests really are all that priestly? Women are more likely to be faithful to their marriages than men. So most likely, they would also be more faithful to God than men, if we can compare vocations to marriages.

Speaking of vocations. I loathe listening to sermons that are blatant advertisements for people to take up vocations to become priests.

How can I? With persuasions that range from 'a healthy family provides a healthy environment for more priests"???? to 'lack of faith causes lack of priests'

Let me just add in one thing. I deplore listening to such whining, because there is one simple, and completely plausible option to solve your self-caused problem.
Let females who wish to become priests become priests.

Who makes the rules in the church? Men. Figures.
Their sense of ego refuses to let them admit that maybe, just maybe, females can get the job done.
But no, they must say that it's not right. It's not traditional. It's wrong! God doesn't want this!

My foot. No one can truly know what God wants or doesn't want. So don't use him as a reason. He wasn't meant to be a reason to prove your selfish notions.

And whenever anyone opposes the views of the church, they slam them. They ban all opposing books/movies. They encourage people of good faith to avoid them

And to what cause? That no one will ever challenge your views? Because if they are strong, secure, good. Then you need never fear anything.

The church has slammed Phillip Pullman's dark materials trilogy. The Da Vinci Code.

And for what? Personally, I find them extremely well written. At least better than that Twilight crap. They are fictional. Just stories. Therefore, why the outburst? Someone questions your ideals, and you burst out in a protest of outrage?
How can you find other religions sensitive when you yourself - ?

And if you wanted to slam every single story that contained anything which went against your ideals, then every story about magic would be banned.
If every story containing magic was banned, CINDERELLA would be banned. And I'd like to see you guys fighting off the angry mob of parents. And Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? Sleeping Beauty? The Little Mermaid?
All magic. All popular with kids, just like Harry Potter (lousy as it may be, it's popular.)
So your outrage against HP for being about wizards/witches... is basically an outrage against every story involving magic.

I happen to like fairy godmothers, tyvm.

Hans Andersen wrote fairy tales. And good thing no one burnt him at the stake for witchcraft. >.<

So, you fools, who lack the ability to think rationally, and instead like to slop off all you dirt onto convenient and famous scapegoats. I have something to say to you.
You can interfere with your own life. Set in place your ideals and self-imposed bans on your own family/life. Just stay out of mine and other people's. It's none of our business if HP and the Da Vinci Code threatens your faith.

THERE WAS NO AMUTO AT ALL IN EPISODE 43.

WTH

Well. I guess this can only mean that they will MAKE UP FOR IT IN LATER EPISODES. They had better. But I think that there will be a Nagihiko arc coming on before their relationship can progress further. Okay, whatever. Everyone -knows- that even though Nagihiko is in love with Amu, she(whoops, he.) will help Amu to get together with Ikuto.
Just like Tomoyo in CCS.

I'm definitely not done ranting about scrabble. But maybe it's time to let go. ^^ As long as we know in our hearts that it's not cause we aren't as good as them, I guess it's okay.

I wonder if there will be scrabble in JC? Nat told me to take up individual scrabble, since she says she holds us back down (nonsense, btw, she plays very well. How else would she have thrashed Renwei by 200+ points? Even if she didn't know how to swap tiles. XDD) Still, I'm definitely taking either judo or karate, if they have it. My brother said I wouldn't last three months, so I'll show him that I can last - two years. Hmm.. I always wanted to try tennis, though. Or even take a shot at S.O. again. That is, if I'm able to scrape my grade eight.

I waited till eleven last night hoping that Shugo Chara would be uploaded, but it wasn't! DD: NEVERMIND. Now I get to see Amulet Diamond and Seraphic Charm. I still prefer the X egg version of Dia, though. Maybe it's because the aloof, intelligent people have this attractive charm that just doesn't show in those who are giddy, easily excited, happy, and cheerful.

You know, now I know two Michelle Lims. Darn. Hard to differentiate now, because one's nice, and one hates me like poison. Why on earth do people have the same name? Why can't parents be a little more original? Like my name! (And even my name has a double. That astrology professor named Renyue Cen. But I digress.)

AI BoT was not ended last night, so I get to finally see a forum thread till it's death. And with the death of a thread, an obituary seems most fitting.
Hmm.. What rhyme shall I make up?
Farewell to our trusty thread.
O'er which many words were said (typed)
And now before a new thread begins.
Let's write a stupid rhyme to sing.

Ok, definitely dumb. XD But hey, 5000 posts! We sure are formidable in flooding! And the forum is appraoching near 60000 posts in total. Hmm... Is this some sort of sign?

I'm going to watch Shugo Chara now! Chara Nari! Amulet Diamond! (And why do so many people hate Rima? She's kawaii!)

Sekai ni hitori yo Jibun no tame ni!!!

- You know what? I'll let you in on a secret. Let's keep your death between you and me. ;

Today - Youth National Scrabble Championships!

We won... third place.

It was so cute. Nisa yelled "Go Renyue!" when we went up to receive medals. =))) That's so sweet! (considering I didn't shout for her. D: Whoops. *guilty* )
My very first medal! Usually I get trophies. Hehe. And it's quite heavy too! Like, before we went up, we were feeling R.I's medals to see how they looked like. It's actually quite pretty! I like coppery stuff. (Three of the raffles members we had beaten left early, so they didn't receive their medals personally. Hmm..) SELINE. PREPARE TO MAKE YOUR SPEECH. Because I refuse to make it, either this year or the next! (Next year if we win anything, Puisan can say it instead. =D ) Besides, you may have stepped down - but at the time of winning, you haven't stepped down yet, so you must make a speech ok! Besides, it's in english, so, daijoubu da yo!

Okay. All things admitted, I feel very sore about it. It might have been okay if raffles was truly better than us. BUT THAT'S CRAP. Faced off against the legendary raffles, they weren't as amazing as rumoured. -.- The only reason why raffles won second and third place was because they got the easier opponent. Okay, am I being a sore loser? But I would have felt better if we had faced off against the two raffles teams and lost/won fair and square. This way, it's unfair. Most of the raffles teams except the one who played us had easy prey. You know why? Most of the raffles teams are in Cup category. Raffles cannot play against raffles (the rule is that no school can play against themselves.) THEREFORE, RAFFLES GETS EASY PICKINGS.

>.< Okay, it's not like st nicks didn't send in a whole bunch of people too... But our skills are not exactly equally balanced.

Shall talk in random, non-chronological order.

Said hi to Nisa and Keith! (Seniors like to poke me whenever Keith shakes my hand. The same people who were coughoglingatsomeoneinsteadofconcentratingontheirgamecough.)
Apparently, because I waved to Nisa, the second Marsiling team we played were like "You're Nisa's good friend!" Lols.

Hmm.. Shall talk about raffles.
Raffles was the last team we played. When we drew their team, Austin Tan had the 'grim & grave' face. Signifying he expected us to lose (Not that he EVER has high expectations of us... but well... We are strong, okay! It's just that we didn't know how strong till we played raffles, and thus could measure ourselves against them.)
Anyway... I was shaking like a leaf. Coz it's raffles and all, and my confidence was practically zero.
Our strategy was actually this : To pit the strong against the weak (to ensure that we have at least three wins to secure a place in the top three.) So basically, we looked at the guys to see who looked like the stronger player. (Completely inaccurate. But Seline said she played the guy in the middle before, and never wants to play against him again, coz he's damn strong. So Virya played him instead.)

Without knowing it, I had actually seated myself in front of the player with the least experience. Because I was nervous, I put on my act of bravado and made conversation to calm my nerves (and to gauge my opp's response. From the way they talk, you can sometimes tell if they're going to be good.)
SURPRISINGLY. After three sentences, he got up, and switched places with Natalie's would-be opponent.
My new opponent (Kenneth): He's scared of you.
Me : Huh? I don't believe! Why?
Kenneth : Because of the way you talk.
Me : ???? YOU LIAR.

And it turns out, he really was afraid of me. Omg! I was afraid of playing raffles, but didn't think one guy would be scared to play me. Lols! Apparently, last year at the prelims (gosh, it's so long ago!) I thrashed Thomas Chuah without apparent effort while suffering from a fever. The rumour got around, and the guy was hence, afraid to play against me. lols. Am I getting famous? XD
BUT. It made me alot more confident, and I was less afraid! Because *hehe* my team beat their team before (prevented them from moving on to finals.) so I felt like, hey, they're not super-pro players after all!

Actually, he turned out to be quite... pro? We closed up the board between us in seconds, and ended up playing a super-closed game. I won by a mere 9 points. And sighed in relief. He's actually a really nice person to talk to! Like, most guy opps start dao-ing me after a while.
Our game went like this.

Me: Makes random comments.
Kenneth: Makes random answers.
Guy who was scared of me : Tells Kenneth not to talk to me coz I'm having a psychological effect on him!

Funny. =) I was laughing like nuts. Unfortunately, it seems that my talking really disturbed Natalie and Virya. I'm so sorry!

And contrary to our expectations, Virya won! (That's right, she beat the guy whom Seline was afraid to play with! That's what I call pro....)

We finished our game pretty early, and spent the rest of the time chatting/observing Virya's game and making wisecracks/lamecracks. I got his contacts. And realised.. HIS BLOG IS THE ARROGANT BLOG ONE! You know. The raffles team who won the championship!

And like, if he won the championship and I beat him, I DON'T SEE WHY WE CAN BE RANKED LOWER THAN THEM.
I think their strategy to is to swamp the cup category with their own school, and thus AT LEAST TWO SCHOOLS will occupy the top two positions. Evil. But foolproof. A pity we can't do that either. Don't have that many talents and dedication to the game.

The raffles team was actually kind of nice. I thought they would be stuck up and egoistic people, but they turned out to be normal, and even friendly.

Well, I'm disillusioned, but I don't admit defeat. We are by no means weaker than raffles. This I found out today. (So we were shaking in fear... for nothing???? To think I thought they were that strong! EVEN AUSTIN TAN THOUGHT OUR CHANCES WERE BLEAK. HAHA.)
Hmm. Now we know that against raffles we're quite evenly matched. Either on a par, or better. I'll never quake in the sight of Raffles Institution again - never! Natalie said that 'Fear of a name creates fear itself' koped from Harry Potter (gah, can't believe I'm quoting from there.) and it's quite true! We were afraid of raffles simply because they were that - raffles.

But I realise that I was being quite biased and prejudiced towards them. Simply because I thought they were inhumanly expert at wordplay. I guess that they're quite human after all. Still, I find it unfair. Ah well. At least we ourselves know that we are evenly matched. But I'm curious. I really want to play the raffles teams that won. Just to prove that we are better/lousier than them. It's annoying to think we might be better, yet never find out.

Natalie beat her raffles opp by 200++
Halfway through the game, Natalie asks me how to change tiles.
Her opp: I can't believe I'm losing by 200 points to someone who doesn't even know how to change tiles!

Tis true, true tis, tis true!

---

Our fourth match was against Marsiling!
My opp and the girl next to her : YOU'RE NISA'S GOOD FRIEND!
=) I think I'm being recognised by more and more people. If nothing, because I talk too much. (Seriously, am I the only scrabbler who talks during a match? I can't believe it!)
I was feeling pretty un-confident, but in the end, I had an easy match. No offence. But my second marsiling opp played weak moves basically all of the time, and I won with a spread of over 300. Hm. Natalie had a tougher time though, and her opp almost beat her. OMG it was so funny! There was a discrepancy over the points. So at first, the girl was like " I WON!"
Then afterwards : "I lost!"
Then after calculating again, she gestured excitedly saying "I WON BY ONE POINT!"
But in the end : "I lost... by five points..."
Seline and I were pretty much laughing at the free entertainment. MARSILING PEOPLE ARE SO CUTEEE! XD Speaking of cute, Natalie caught sight of a baby, and was like : I want to squeeze it! Lols. Coz it's so pudgy and fat and nice.
Fat is cute! And Natalie agrees. She says that I'll probably grow out of my gangly appearance soon.

Third match! It was... one of the worst matches ever. Sure, I won. But it felt like.. so weird! My opp played very irrational moves. You can't anticipate where she's going to put, because sometimes she can put at really good places, and sometimes at really lousy areas. So you can't try any strategy on them, because they simply don't have a rational way of playing! It was frustrating knowing that they were easy opponents, yet you can't finish them off with an incredible spread beacuse of their erratic moves. My opponent had next to no knowledge about scrabble (like couting points, totalling the score, challenging, pressing the clock, and etcetera.) And there was this one girl who was pretty... I don't know. Her attitude seemed bossy. Yet confident. (I think she lost though.) But she was friendly... to a certain extent.

Second match. My opponent was a Satanist. Like, her religion. They turned out to be... weak? I chatted for a while with my opp. She seems really normal. From what I heard of Satanists from Ama, I thought they would be on the weird side. Strangely, they're not! She's quite normal and nice. =) I discussed religion and the supernatural with her while waiting for our teammates' games to end (my games usually end before anyone else's.)

(Most of my matches, I don't remember my opponent's names, because they were very long...)

First match.

IN THE MORNING. SELINE AND NATALIE WERE STRANDED. And thus were extremely late (fears that we might have to have two walkovers surfaced in my mind and refused to go away. D:)
Luckily, they came, and we got seated. (we tried not to sit down first, but our opponents seem to always be later than us! D:)
Once seated, and Seline suddenly wanted me to go say hi to Jiafeng, who had come with two other friends to support her.
Me: Huh? What? Now?
Seline: Yeah, just go say hi!
Me: But everyone's sitting down already!
Seline: Nevermind! Just go!
Me: After the match lah.
Seline: Go now!

In the end, said hi after the first match. =) I got a bar of crunchie! Lols. Arigatou, jf-san!

First match was ok.
Hmm. Won by quite alot. That's all I have to say. =)))

And then, went back home! Took bus with Seline, Natalie, Virya, Huimin, Ruth, and Gar Wai. (Virya said she'll probably be going for champs league, so not every member has abandoned me! ^^ Austin Tan was actually quite surprised that Natalie, Seline, Virya and Jacqueline still turned up because he was expecting them to be studying for their O's. I conveniently forgot to mention that I had hunted down each and every one of them and begged them to participate. Hah... But face it! You guys couldn't BEAR to leave your nice junior alone, right! n_n )

We made a beeline to the 7-eleven (parched of thirst!) and bought drinks (the auntie spirit in me protested at the idea of Yiling and I buying two bottles yet paying four dollars in total when three bottles would cost three dollars in total - makes no sense! You buy less yet pay more. So I bought two bottles while Yiling bought one, so we only paid three dollars between us.) Huimin, Natalie, and Seline got coffee (evidently, it didn't work, because Seline was still sleepy, and ready to drop off at any minute...)
Virya stopped at Causeway Point to buy a present for her mother, and the rest of us took the MRT. Nat got off at Yio Chu Kang, and the rest of us got off at Ang Mo Kio, where Seline and I have a direct bus home (from AMK Hub.) She took 169 while I took 135. But I stopped to buy subway (I promised myself subway if we won one of the three places/proved that we were not inferior to raffles.)

Ended up getting home.. around 7.30?
Huimin reads Seline's blog! And finds my blog less entertaining to read, mainly because my posts tend to be long, and if you don't read every day, you're going to have a whole chunk of stuff to read. =/ I wonder... if that is a bad thing? Maybe my posts should be shorter...

And today, Yiling gave me a test to see if you are an anime/manga fan

A person can only call herself/himself a fan of manga/anime IF:
He/she has watched/read more than five mangas/animes.
He/she must have watched the entire series.
Mangas and animes such as One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, and Dgreyman do not count, because they're the most popular ones. A PERSON WHO ONLY READS NARUTO/OTHER POPULAR MANGAS AND NOTHING ELSE CANNOT TRULY APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY OF MANGA, because they have not read and appreciated the beauty, genius, and attractiveness of the lesser mangas.
True indeed. =)

And now ends my long long day....

Quote Kenneth : How did you know I have a blog?

Hmm.. seems like the concept of google blog search is unknown to many. Hehe.

edit: FORGOT TO INCLUDE.

We were slotted to play at table 11.
And then we all looked at the clock just as it was 11:11

Coincidence? Or not? Creepy...

edit: This morning, didn't heed my mum's advice, and skipped breakfast.
Nearly collapsed from lack of energy by the third match, and was feeling very much unwell. That'll teach me to skip food. *gasp* After lunch, I was bright and perky again. =))) Ahh, the magic of food...

I think I can pretty muched confirm that I'm getting picked on.

K. Shall not bother about duck. Let's talk about my life.

I hated joint morning jog with the sec fours today.
Why?

LACK OF OXYGEN.

Figures. A whole bunch of carbon dioxide-emitting people running on the same track? Dudes, that just isn't going to work out! WE NEED TO PERFORM AEROBIC RESPIRATION. Geez. That shows you P.E. teachers don't really remember biology. >.<

I ran about two rounds before walking the last round with Jiayu. I was still walking when Yee Yin whacked me on the back - whereupon I stopped walking to sprint after her and whack her back. =)

SHUGO CHARA 42 IS SUBBED! But I don't really feel like watching it now. LET'S GET DOWN TO AMUTO BUSINESS! That's all that really matters. XD

--

Scrabble competition is tomorrow. Seems like my teammates are all contemplating with the idea of quitting. >.<

I see a bleak year ahead of me. Whatever's left of it anyway. I guess... sec fours really do need to study. D: Or in Seline's case - play with jf's wii.
It feels strange that people -do- have lives outside of scrabble and study. =D At least, it seems so to me now. Once, I wondered if it would have been better if I applied for S.O. or any other cca for that matter. But I've found my little corner in the library.

Hmm. Speaking of which, I wonder how Vanessa and the other 6 sec twos are doing at the library? I couldn't join them in decorating because a: MUM RANTS. and b: violin lesson.

Violin makes me really depressed nowadays. I just can't play it right. Every note seems wrong. And my violin goes out of tune pretty easily. Sometimes I don't even know if it's beacuse I suck at learning, or I didn't practice enough... or the finger positions on my violin KEEP BLOODY CHANGING. I suspect it's the latter. Because I've been working my heart out for two weeks, and my playing has DETERIORATED. I never played so poorly before, k.

--

I found Natalie's card two weeks back. Now guess what?
I've lost the whole pack again. Not just hers. EVERYONE ELSE'S. I'm going to turn my house inside out tonight. But then again, best to sleep earlier, for tomorrow.

A note to self: Do not, repeat, do not, eat lunch. =/

Maybe I'll see Nisa, Elaine, Keith, YY, Zachary, and all the other scrabble-happy people I've met along the way. =)

Weird white insects were growing on my morning glory. I doused it with water. I'm not sure if one of them crawled onto me though....

And now? I'm very tired.

---

edit: OMG! I think Dia is like, the coolest of all Amu's shugo charas! It's like she can read other people's hearts! =)) Poor Utau though. Hmm..

edit2: Today after school, there was the word 'Hello' written over the door of one of the toilet cubicles - in blood. I could tell that it was blood coz it stank to hell.

Unfortunately, the more scream-happy girls liked to take guesses at who wrote it.
I do -not- want to hear any rumours concerning anyone from my class. >.<

Hmm. Shall not blog so much about today than yesterday, because I didn't have much time to blog about yesterday.

The guy from heartware network came and told us what is possibly the most hypocritical lie ever uttered by mankind.

" Out of all the schools I've been to, and I've been to a good many, yours was the most efficient"

Which cliched phrase he has obviously used to sweet talk some naive and unsuspecting school. We, however, geniuses that we are, know BETTER.

---

Went to JRL, and Han Wen, Vivian, and Weilin got caught by the security guard for bringing food in. Kaydence couldn't help coz it was the scary security guard. Lols! Anyway, made streamers! and got a total of eight paper cuts. Too many to put plasters. D: They were bleeding quite a bit though...

Realised my juniors love poking into other people's business... won't elaborate.

AND．．．　AND ANDAND!!! HANWEN WATCHES MGLN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!
More proof that I should get to know my juniors more. XD

went back home and my mum ranted at me for doing CIP. All the stuff about I'm going to fail my O levels, and not make it to university. I've heard it all before. But she insists that its the first time she's ranting. MY FOOT.
Whatever. Old people have bad memory, and I must accept that she doesn't remember that she has ranted zillions of times before.

----

today was the impromptu speech competition. Screamed till I have a fairly sore throat for Min Yee and Cathleen (who represented our class.)
I'm getting sick of the same people winning these competitions though. This time, Min Yee was our champion of truth, honesty, and NO DOUBLE FACED-NESS.

No matter. We'll get back at the fake ones one day.

I severely dislike Peking Duck.

Not only does she have to mock my poor chinese in front of everyone, she must needs rant on about how certain unnamed people had POOR character. Listing the number ofthigns which signalled poor character and upbringing (Incidentally, seemingly targeted at the stuff Gwyneth and I did.)

After 45 minutes of continued ranting, I got bored, and crossed my eyes at her to see if she would notice.

She did.
And told me no guy would want to marry me in the future.
Duck her.

I found it amusing at first, but it nagged on at my energy levels, leaving me extremely disgruntled. She doesn't have to keep picking on me.
And another horrible thing she did :

SHE TOLD THREE DILIGENCE THIS:
You will all confirm go to good jc, but three loyalty (my class, btw.) will confirm not go to good jc.

Why? Coz we don't have good character.

What the duck.

Stupid Peking Duck.
Or firetruck. Whichever you prefer.

I want to blog about more stuff, but now no time. They want 'lights off'. >.<

I guess I should sleep - leaving homework undone - alas!

In actuality, I do sit-ups until I'm so tired, I can sleep. If not, cannot sleep.

Hmm.. if that very wise? I ate quite alot.

Last Note: Han Wen watches MGLN too! Gosh, I really should get to know my juniors better. ^^

I had a pooh-filled day today.

First encounter with pooh :

Waiting for Ms Lim to come before we started our class, I put my hand on the rail.

Me: 'shit!' -----> one of the few times that when I say 'shit', I really mean, 'shit'.
Coz there was bird shit on the railing, and it was in one lump on my fingers. EWWW! Ran off to wash it faster than I ever ran during basketball/any other sport.

During P.E. offended people by looking the other way while I pitched (to distract them.)/pitching hard. But I don't think pitching hard would be a problem if it's at the correct height. She missed, that's all there is to it. The reason why I pitched hard was to reduce the distance she could hit it at.
Then, offended people by hitting far to the right. And then they claimed that I hit out of boundaries (????!?) and it might not be allowed.
As usual, whenever there was discrepancy about the rules, I ended up being unable to resist correcting them. Which made them think I was all riled up. And naturally, get pissed, saying 'it's only a game!' and looks which said "Why is she always like that?"
I guess I annoy very easily. Hmm. It's a pity because I'm usually serious about P.E. and don't like letting things slip by.

My second encounter with shit:

SECONDS AFTER I WENT BACK TO CLASS FROM P.E. THE FIRE ALARM WENT. So we all got back out of class and walked back to the field?!?!?! And like, if it was a fire drill, then why didn't they inform us earlier? The only reason why we got out of class was because everyone else did too.
Anyway, Weiping didn't need to walk much at all, coz she walked so slowly, she didn't go back to class. UNFAIR.
And when we were all walking over the field, the strong smell of DOG POOH hit us. I have absolutely no idea why a dog was wandering around the school, and decided to conveniently make it it's potty. Whatever it was, the class stank when we got back, coz so many people stepped on pooh!

----

Now I feel very irritated. And I feel like my judgement betrayed me.

Since last year, almost everyone's been telling me they don't like the library auntie (a.k.a. Elsie Lai.) I paid them no heed, and continued to trust that she would not be as mean as they had described.

I FEEL SO CHEATED NOW.

>.<

Scene 1:

*Renyue walks happily into the office*
me: "Auntie! 我要做 library duty!"
Auntie (now wishing to be known as 'Miss Lai' *snaps angrily* "你不要再叫我auntie 了！叫我　Miss Lai!"
Me: startled, and now scared.

Plus, she used to trust me to pay my fines honestly before. BUT TODAY. She glared at me while I took the money from my wallet, snatched the cash from me, and counted it herself before saying "Thank you." in a surly way. Abit! Why the sudden suspicion?

Scene 2:

*Renyue saunters happily into the office, having forgotten the events of a few hours ago*
me: opens mouth to call her 'auntie', suddenly remembers, feels scared, and ends up lamely saying "Library duty..."
Auntie: "我不是说不要叫我 auntie 了吗！？！？！"
Me: Bloody frightened. I cautiously say : "I never say! I only said library duty!"
Auntie : waves me off to do my library duty with bad grace.

THIS IS ALL THE BLOODY SEC ONES FAULT. >.< Scheming little boot-licking toilet paper. From the moment I heard them calling her "Miss Elsie!" I knew there was going to be trouble. Bloody bloody hell.
And auntie also! She's not young anymore can! Still can tell Jacqueline that 'Don't call me auntie, it makes me sound so old' Hello, she IS old. I detest people who can't face up to their age. If you're old, just admit it, and move on with your bloody life!

It's not like, LAST YEAR the moment she saw us she told us to call her Miss Lai. Now I'm in the habit of calling her auntie, she suddenly wants to change? Whats her problem? Now I don't even want to go and do my library duty anymore, cause I just don't want to call her miss lai. It's like talking to a different person.
She's not the same auntie I knew 1 1/2 years back!

DDD:

Now she can go and die for all I care. >:(

Bawled my eyes and heart out.

I feel depressed after watching the ending.

They died.. while praying. And they still didn't know what hit them. And I'm damn sad! They're just the sweetest old couple, and they died coz some idiots decided to drop a nuclear bomb. What is their freaking problem?

While they were dying, they were like : It must be the tinned food, it never agreed with me.

And : I must get some ointment tomorrow, or some lozenges.

They don't even know they're dying of radiation poisoning.

And I don't know if I might burst into tears tomorrow in school for no apparent reason and people will look at me weirdly.

I.. don't want to feel or do anything right now.
I don't want to practice my violin, or do my usual routine stuffs.

It seems so inhumane and unfeeling.

=(

Remember that beautiful lullaby, featured in almost every music box?

Rock-a-bye, baby,
In the tree top.
When the wind blows,
The cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
The cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.

Well, I was just watching When the Wind Blows.
And omigosh!!! T.T It was just... when they were dying of radiation sickness, and still cracking jokes. And then before they die, they were praying. It's really tear-jerking. Plus the female seemed to know her fate way before then. Even though they technically don't know that nuclear attacks can kill people even if they survive after the attack. Gah. This sucks.

Blogging from the library, so once I go home I can focus my energies on doing my first piece of maths homework, and my movie review properly.
The Kraken Wakes was disappointing. They don't give anything from the aftermath. I suppose that's the problem with stories written in the first POV. And John Wyndham always does that anyway - keep people hanging. Gah. But have to admit, his sci-fi is original, and pretty cool.

Today.. um. Assembly. They didn't let us watch Hotel Rwanda. Because we need to do National Day decorations.

Because I was doing the chinese new year deco, Ms Ng mistakenly thought I was in charge of aesthetics. *ahem ahem*
Anyway.. I'm still supposed to work HAND IN HAND with the aesthetics committee. -.-" I really don't like facing the reluctance and animosity from the class. Plus I feel very abandoned and awkward when people run away from me before I can chase them to help with deco, so I'm washing my hands of the decorations from now on.
Hazel Tan agreed. IT'S TIME FOR THE AESTHETICS COMMITTEE TO FEEL OUR PAIN.
And I still haven't been reimbursed the thirty dollars I spent on the stuff to sell at fiesta. I'm so not telling my parents about it. They would kill me if they knew I spent that much.

Later, Ms Ng asked me why I didn't want to help. So I gave a lame, but politically acceptable answer : that I was already helping out with the decorations at the JRL, hence, no time. XD Then she asked me to put the ideas that we used for JRL for our classroom. ^^" But it's not the same - hai... Maybe I'll end up helping after all. But I don't like ordering people around - they never listen, and they wind up thinking I like to preen myself on borrowed plumes. Then again, last year, we wound up doing nothing at all for the first two days, because no one asked anyone to do anything. So everyone did nothing and no one did anything. I think that drink should be called 'Anything' and 'Nothing' rather than 'Whatever'.

ate ice cream.

and now.... my day is over. =)

I'm trying to collect my recent inspiration into a story named Mutilated Heart. But if I start writing, all work WILL be tossed away, and my violin practice is toast. So... better just abandon it.
The problem with inspiration is that it NEVER waits for you. D: *mourns*

And Seline's farewell box will look damn empty once I takeout the windchime. I could leave it there, but Vanessa already gave her a windchime! La. Doesn't matter that much I guess. I will look strange, however, lugging a bag of farewell stuffs to scrabble comp this saturday. Hmm..
Hope I get to see Nisa! Even if she thrashes me again like last time. Lols.

Okay, time is up. So much for good quality blogging... D:

The daily spam mail reading!

Today my spam mail says that I have a job offer from a textile company in Shanghai! Whoa!

Spam mail really brightens up my life. ^^"

- You know what? I'll let you in on a secret. Let's keep your death between you and me. ;

"You're almost a senior in high school, don't you have a person you like?"
"I do... You."

Amu-chan!!!! Why didn't you believe him? DD: You believed Kairi. And granted that he teases alot, that might be coz he LIKES YOU. Gahh. Stupid, dense, naive.

- You know what? I'll let you in on a secret. Let's keep your death between you and me. ;

I hate going to any church.

Which includes St Anne's Church.

Coz we went there for feast day.

Wasn;t allowed to buy anything that was non food. So I didn't buy food.

Spent one dollar on green tea.

And the rest of my morning ~~sulking~~ watching the fish go by.

---

My parent's don't seem to realise, a girl's life doesn't revolve around food. >.<
Granted, I do enjoy eating.
But when someone has gifted me ten dollars worth of coupons, I think I should be allowed to buy something that lasts me longer than ten minutes.

Went home unhappy, sulky, and unsatisified. Plus nauseuous, because my brother rocked the entire car by fighting.

I feel cheated.

So I watched Shugo Chara to make me feel happier. My brother shut down the computer yesterday, effectively closing all my youtube windows - and I wouldn't have the time to load and watch them.

Utau is pretty. And I guess she's pretty nice after all. =( But she's one seriously messed up person.

Ahh well. Anime is like that.

And I want to eat the tom yam noodles I paid $1.65 for yesterday.
But currently playing scrabble with Natalie. Hmm.

Wonder if my parents will allow me to cook noodles instead of eating rice.
But after the church, I think I DESERVE to eat something I like. No garlicky chicken wings. Ack.

BEST PHRASE OF THE CENTURY.

'hanasuyo, obaa-san!'

HAHA! omg.. Way to go, Iru! X) Yukari totally deserved it. Dunno why Nikaidou actually dated a woman like her before. =)

---

I'm not going to finish watching SC! today. Or even this week coz I probably won't have the time. *mourns*

But I have to say Utau and Tadase and pretty cute when they were kids.

"BOKU!"
"ATASHI!"

Here's the catch - why... are they calling Ikuto 'mine'?

Is this some sort of INCEST AND YAOI PAIRING?

And something interesting. =)

Tadase says 'boku no kokoro' while Kairi says 'Ore no kokoro'. Hmmm, is this difference intended? XDDD After all, Rima says 'Atashi no kokoro' just like Amu! And Yaya strangely likes to refer to herself in the third person, by saying 'Yaya no kokoro!"

I wonder if it's because Tadase wants to be a king and conquer the world. Is 'boku' supposed to be royal or something? hmmm... *ponders*
THEY ALL MASS CHARA-NARI! =D What can be cuter??? <3

- You know what? I'll let you in on a secret. Let's keep your death between you and me. ;

I love my library.

Maybe at the next forfeit I can say that phrase with Teck Chuan, since I do mean it. =)

---

SHUGO CHARA'S NOT UP ON YOUTUBE YET. DDD: SO I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT MY LIFE.

Went to Jurong East Library!!! I had the impression we were going to decorate the V.A.T. room.
It was only when I got there that I was corrected.
We're going to decorate the entire floor

Misinterpretation goes a long way. *grumbles*

But anyway, started by making streamers. Loads and loads of streamers. And we're definitely going to need more paper. =/ I think I'll get some crepe paper next time, just in case we run out. Anyway, red crepe paper can ALWAYS be recycled for christmas and new year.
*tinkle of breaking glass sounds*

Okay, I do not want to know who broke a cup. I also don't want to go downstairs and see whether the cup broken was my cup. (It's my cup because it's the only one which can fit into my coffee making machine.
Why don't I use a pot for my coffee making machine? Well, the story is...
One day, my mum decides to be ultra nice before she grills me on my mathematics. So, she helps me make coffee.
So, she breaks the pot.
-end story-

---

Moving on. We started making.. decorations. Vanessa did the letters. No. To be precise... numbers And wrote and erased the number 4 about... oh, I don't know... 43 times? That's the number she was going to write. I totally knew that Singapore was 43 years old this year. Uh huh. I was just PRETENDING that I didn't know. Yup. XDDD

Then, went off to buy.. lunch! I wanted to pay, but Kaydence insisted on paying, first coz she got a twenty percent discount. Then after she paid, she refused to accept my money. D: I always feel so guilty when people say 'It's my treat' for things over two dollars.
THE CAFE GALILEE PEOPLE FORGOT ALL ABOUT US. As we waited half an hour for our food, they served like, five other people in succession before we reminded them, and THEN they started making our food.

OH! And we were inside the library OFFICE. Ok. I found that really cool. I love being in places that are, like.. for AUTHORISED PERSONNEL only. It feels damn cool, okay! And the librarians are very quirky! Now and then there will be a squeal. Or a really odd buzzing noise made by a guy. And then one or two librarians bursting into laughter. They're so funny! I think librarians are really happy people. If I don't get to be a psychiatrist, I'm totally becoming a librarian! I mean - look at Kaydence! She's so funny and happy-go-lucky.

Found something out. Kaydence told me that... you know the people at the service counter? They aren't librarians. They're service staff hired to.. umm.. do servicing? But they aren't librarians. Just sort of.. officers. Plus those who shelve books, scan books, all that stuff? THEY AREN'T LIBRARIANS.
Omg. I totally never knew. They just always looked so grumpy and unhappy. =(

Anyway, we couldn't finish the chicken drumlets. So Kaydence told us to give them to the two people sitting at the corner of the office. And after we gave it to them, and walked about five metres, we heard one of them say 'YAY!'

I LOVE THE LIBRARY.
I LOVE LIBRARIANS. =)))

OH! SPEAKING OF 'I LOVE'. While I was looking at the ribbon and deciding how to use it to decorate... I was feeling it, and then I randomly said.
'I love ribbon, it's so ribbony'

Then we started saying we loved everything around us coz it's so 'insert name'-y

When Kaydence approached, we startled her by saying.

'Kaydence! I love you, because you're so Kaydencey!"

Her : "You guys have limited vocabulary"

And she joined us too in doingy the y-ey thingy. Apparently, she does that to describe stuff that just can't be described any other way.
Like meaty, cakey.
Vanessa : Ricey?
Kaydence : No, I've never used it on rice before.
-all of us giggle-
X)))

OH OH! I LOVE THE LIBRARY. IT'S SO LIBRARY!
lols.

Vanessa tried. And failed to make streamers. :O But then I haven't tried to make letters yet. So I haven't failed to make letters. Yay!

REVELATIONS AT THE SUPERMARKET.

Scene 1:
While purchasing 1 flag, I did not bargain for the really long wait.
ONE PERSON. How long could it take?

That was because I only saw the trolley filled with goods.
I did not see the three baskets filled with goods.

In total, she brought away 21 bags filled with stuffs.
With at least 7 items per bag.
Which is over 140 items.
Don't know how she carried them. But she paid for them with vouchers *speaking of which, we got a five dollar voucher for popular! But with a minimum purchase of 20 bucks.*

After she left, I lamely handed my one flag to the lady.

"Do you want a plastic bag?"
*faintly* "No, thank you."
Then I grabbed my flag and left.

2.
I discovered that the biscuits aren't called TOACKER. It's LOACKER. Except I didn't read clearly. All these years....
=/

3.
On my favourite tom yam NTUC noodles?
The big fat price tag of $1.65 cents. Plus a note informing me that since it is a housebrand, it has a five percent discount!

Five percent discount my foot. Three weeks ago it was $1.25, fools.

--end--

At kidsRead, Noel picked our brains to do his math homework. As usual.
Sok Wei ignored me when I asked her to read. =/
And Noel gifted me some used maplestory cards - kawaii!
Ended by drawing with white crayons on black paper. Well.. scribbling might be a better word. =(
Went to the pasar malam, which is damn small. The only thing I fancied was this acrylic nails set. =( I wanted to buy it. But hell hath no fury for a mum with a disobedient daughter. Of course, she doesn't allow me to wear nail polish. And acrylic nails would be basically under the same category.

'Ang moh kia'

Now I'm back at home, tapping happily away at the computer. =)

Dad : Do you have homework?
Me : Yep.
Dad: Have you done your homework?
Me : Nope.
Dad: Are you doing your homework?
Me : Nope.

The ever classic answer. Oh well. Blame the computer for being so enticing.

SEVEN DAYS TO SCRABBLE COMPETITION.

Oh boy...

And to end off with... koped this from awin's blog. Bad spelling and all. This is a classic and common malaprop :

Your Hidden Talent

Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people.

You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together.

Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.

People crave your praise and complements.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

Get it? COMPLEMENT. XD You take the test by choosing a picture. I chose this picture coz it's right in front of me.

-I still feel like torturing my mum. She lost my scales books, and bought another one for me. Today she found it. And keeps whining about sacrificing her ten dollars. >.< I really really don't want to hear about that business anymore.
Really. -

I watched episode 41, part 1 coz I had trouble viewing it last saturday.

Amu was looking at the bracelet Kairi gave her!! Awww. Bet she felt real hurt. After he betrayed them and all. But it's kind of sweet. =)

---

Utau is spending all her time with Dia, and abandoning Iru. Serve Iru right. X) Then, she meets Ikuto and asks him if he's agreed to play the violin for her during her concerts (I think! Cannot be sure.)
Ikuto says he had. (Something about cannot not obey Easter's command. I know the word 'command' was used, because he said the said thing that Ritsuka said in Loveless. X))
And then Utau spazzes for a moment. Ikuto asks her what happened. And then Utau asks if she can kiss him.

NOOO! GET YOUR PAWS OFF IKUTO. Coz he was meant to be with Amu. =) I've nothing against incest. But Utau isn't my cup of tea. WAIT. No one can be my cup of tea unless Ikuto likes her. And Ikuto loves Amu, so with Amu he must be. MUST!

And then Iru misses Eru. And thinks about the times when she could kick Eru around. Then she says something about Eru was easier to kick around than the batsu-tamas (X Eggs.) Well.. its a sign of repentance, at least!

Today I feel sad.
Because there's homophobia in my class.

And they aren't afraid to show.. that they hate gays.

Considering homosexuality as a negative influence. No, even more, regarded them as something to be detested.

That's one of the loathsome qualities of the human race. We hate things without knowing what they truly are. It is because we fear what we do not know.

It sucks.

--

Because of what happened, I broke my resolution. =/
I'd resolved not to buy ice cream after school in order to save money.

But I felt so sad, I had to have ice cream. Because ice cream freezes the heart. When you eat it, you won't feel sad anymore, because your heart can't feel. =)

I WAS LOOKING FOR A CERTAIN COPY PASTE THING, but the original atuhor removed it from her profile.

I gave up sifting thru the profiles of mary sue authors. So.. I am such a genius. XDDD

I googled the phrase 'copy and paste this into your profile'

YESSSS!

OMG I FEEL SO HAPPY!

Okay, first, get to the normal facts.

Ate ice cream again with Sandy and JY. I think the uncle is starting to recognise us. Since we always buy icecream in threes. And Sandy always gets durian while I always get peppermint.

Meant to do library duty... but nvm. I'll make up next week. Gosh, so procrastinating! To think I used to do all my library duty is sec one and two. PLUS I DID MAKE UP SOMEMORE. Because the auntie never sign for my
