im leaving for the land of bae yong jun, da changjin and kwon sang woo in about 8 hours time. but im not in a holiday mood actually, im more keen in celebrating xmas. hopefully there's sth nice on the plane (some nice turkey would be great). it was gathering with pri sch frens yest and the turn out was not too bad actually, about 10 ppl. hopefully we can have another one nxt yr with more ppl! we watched night at the museum and it's qt funny! ahhaha, i love the sakagewea part (sooo hilarious). ah, i still wanna wtach the holiday though and curse of the golden flower!

i was kindly reminded that it is the december solstice today, the shortest day of the year if you're living in the N. Hemisphere. man, i really really miss geog :(

it's pretty boring at home nowadays, waking up late, watching korean dramas over youtube, shuttling between bt batok and home for theory lessons,playing nintendo and watching tv. sigh. i need a life. i sometimes wished that my family celebrates xmas (but we're mostly overseas this time of the yr), there's just this really warm fuzzy feeling about it (chinese new yr or chinese festivals? cant beat this) and all the hype, celebrations etc. what was meant to be an xmas party of sorts ended up as just dinner cos there're just too little of us and we've no idea what to do. we had korean bbq (which i'd probably be eating everyday nxt wk) and went to check out the cannery. that is about the most interesting thing that happened in my life this wk. wow.

i was just reading some of my archives and it's funny how i used to write in a very different way ahha. and i read this post about how i felt during pre prelims period in 04 and how i'll miss the sch. this yr, i was really really numbed by the exams that it only dawned upon me during my last 3rd or 2nd papers that it's going to be the last __ time that i'll walk through those gates in my uniform, as a student of the school. it's really odd how time passes so quickly and things become a bit...surreal and intangible at times. when a classmate asked my what the rest of the class is up to, i really have no idea! except for the few of us who hang out, i don't like this feeling, that things don't last. and i've probably said before how i felt that some of my gd friends don't last. sad, really.

i watched girls out loud yest and i must say it's so funny!! the girls are very hilarious and the guests (hmm, just the 'street eyebrow stylist' actually) were soo....hmm...daring and lacking in self awareness. i mean, how can someone claim to be a model and the cutest person in us and singapore!
my days are now so similar that its hard to differentiate them. and i hate doing writeups to 'sell' myself saying how great i've been and im tired of reading the heaps of overdue friday wkly. well, one thing's for sure, im sorta hooked to sudoku (HAHA passe i know!). i must do the daily one in Today papers and more from this other paper called my paper, i guess it's keeping me from getting senile during this period before sch starts again.

i desperately need some routine in my life. desperately. there's quite a lot at hand, i realised, and i just want to get them over and done with so i can enjoy my break and finish my driving and get a job. (but there's soooo much more i want to do!). i am a routine freak and if i don't plan my time i usually end up very VERY unproductive. sigh. and i feel like i havent had enough fun. have i? well, shopping wise, more or less (next target, malaysia YES! - yr end sale) and hope to have a xmas celebration of some sort before i fly off!

yes i'm lazy

life can be THIS unfair! the current rg choir batch went for prague/vienna trip (IM SO JEALOUS!) . oh why oh why is life so unfair! i rmb when our comm was trying so hard to send a proposal to the school planning a trip to italy (and it was for choral competitions!) and it was turned down by the school. then there was the aust. trip that didnt materialise due to dull response. and so i've nv gone on a sch trip be :(

anyway, went 007-ing with chris yest and i LOVE THE BAHAMAS!! but i guess it's rich men's land. SO, one day i become rich i'm going there to get my seaside house, get a boat/ yatch, float arnd drinking bubbly and get myself a cute dude (HAHA KIDDING).

so. prom is over. it's quite weird huh that its the last last last ever day as an rjc-ian (but once a rafflesian, always a rafflesian!)! i actually prefer the before and the after more than the during. the during, half the time i was trying to track down friends and i think i took very few pictures!! only 50 in all and rachel (shen), it wasnt very possible to take a phpps pic cos i cant even find them! ahha. but anyway, i think the programme was gd and mr vadi was qt entertaining lah ahha. and congrats to mandy on prom queen! the food was so-so, and the justin timberlake sexy back song just kept playing in the bkgrd and it got stuck in my head esp after rach kept singing it on the way back to our room haha. then we went to post prom party and i must say it was pretty entertaining to watch ppl (*cough* the podium dancers) but half the time i was watching ppl's belongings or squeezing through the ppl hahah. but i really like it when everyone just sings (or rather shouts) along with the songs, esp when the party's ending ahah. niwae it was qt fun and funny haha. we got back at 3+ and attempted to stay up playing games like truth or dare but we know one another and our lives are boring so it didnt last long haha.

our room was great! haha, nice view and really comfy to laze arnd in. and i, being the sleep-first-then-say kind of person, of cos, went to slp first while others waited for the shower hahha. it was so nice and comfy! and in the morn we lazed around in our rm watching tv and grace taking a pict frm the opp bldg of us waving our arms over the balcony till check out time. will post pictures later

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Element?

You Are a Dreaming Soul

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

You Belong in Spring

Optimistic, lively, and almost always happy with the world... You can truly appreciate the blooming nature of spring. Whether you're planting flowers or dyeing Easter eggs, spring is definitely your season!

What Season Are You?

You Should Drive a Saturn Sky

You're sleek and smooth, and you need a car to match your hot persona. Besides, sometimes you want your top up - and sometimes you want it down.

What 2007 Car Should You Drive?

Your Aura is Green

You're very driven, competitive, and even a bit jealous. However, you seek out balance in your life - and you usually achieve it! The purpose of your life: inspiring others to be better Famous greens include: Tony Robbins, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart Careers for you to try: Guru, CEO, Talk Show Host

What Color Is Your Aura?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

reading janice's blog has inspired me to write abt 401 days too!! it's really the best, most super 2 yrs i have had in sch. it's a crazy mix of ppl that made it helluva fun. i rmb the first day i saw steph i REALLY REALLY thot she looked like liv tyler/arwen (LOTR) hey its a compliment ok. but soon i found out that she was FAR from that gracious arwen AHAHA

and then there're others in my row like hanna and wy! ahhaha ( i love bullying her, she's very funny and she makes funny noises!! and she refuses to drink cooler water but we sneakily fill her bottle with it anyway, she cant tell the difference) and then there's felly whom we bully too with the tapping thing but i try to protect her from the claws of steph HAHAHA

and there was the evelyn-steph "cold war" that had dunno how many sets and dunno how many chapters. oh and i rmb janice's table having that fan with the hand keychains. and lots of other things! and then there was muthusamy family and nice mrs tan and mr chang's funny actions

speaking of which. i still dont have the original class vid leh! (which i and mama/liangpei made with the original music) so if someone has pls burn for me thanks!

my PC CONFIRM A ALRDY (read: i am SCREWED)

i didnt even talk about george being mad in "the madness of george"how now brown cow. paper 3 better be gd or i'm screwed (rhymes)

Ozymandias was apparently about tyranny..which i didnt really write about. i am so s-c-r-e-w-e-d

i think i need to detox decaf myself some time.

oh btw, rmb don't burn your notes. i know you want to create haze a la indon ahha, but go green! recycle! sell to garang guni and get some money at the same time ahha

(kinda accurate ahha)

was watching this really really nice show on nat geo. about polar bears mainly, and tracking the beautiful change in seasons in the North Pole and areas in the polar regions. its BEAUTIFUL. i'm inspired and if only money doesnt make the world go round, i'd 1) continue studying geog 2) go the Npole and do filming with nat geo. ( and see the Northern Lights aka auroras it's STUNNING)

IF money doesnt make the world go round

niwae, in the documentary, the polar cubs were SOOOOOO CUTE LAH they look like a teddy bear that i have, really really adorable. baby seals and belugas also super cute! belugas are white whales but they are smaller like dolphin size maybe? and they look like they're smiling! and the guy put a camera into the water to film and record their voices also. and they were so cute lah! they kept looking at the camera in cusriosity and even used their nose to probe it. SO CUTE.

rachel jus kindly enlightened me on how CHICKEN the SATs 2 chinese is lah!! examples


" ni hao, __"
a) ma?
b) ne?


"jing tian wo he mei mei zuo huo che"

a) bus
b) train
c) car

SO CHICKEN. we can ALL get 800 if we took it. man, maybe i shud have taken it for the cheap thrill of getting full marks (ok lah not very cheap) and Arts students have very little options in tms of SAT 2 subs - there're only math, lit and world history(which i heard is very very broad and i havent taken history since sec 2. i know. its time i start reading up after As) so chinese would have been a gd option. sigh, in the end i took sats twice and didnt even have to use it (sorry for wasting ur money dad HAHA)

i finally remembered what i wanted to blog about. the new JAMES BOND. i saw the casino royale trailer and i cant believe they got that guy to be bond lah! i mean i think there's no lack of better looking actors around (ok after googling i found some nicer pics of him) but still, i think he lacks that bond factor. both rachel and i think that pierce brosnan is still the best bond. you know bond should be like suave, and very cool while doing all the stunts but i think the new bond lacks it leh...hahah

man..i jus realised that this chinese show i'm watching has some lesbian thingamajig...and up till where i watched i thought it's just sisterly love. check it out here gu lian hua

phew. i finally completed my ucas and it shud be on its way to ali. haha, i have procrastinated for damn long alrdy. everytime i do such serious matters i will always be very scared and want to double triple quadruple check. that's why i took so long ahha. man, i wonder what life has in store for me...everytime i see ppl doing US apps and packing their envelopes, looking very pro, i will be damn envious but aiyah, for the fuss-free me, ucas will do ahha. don't you wonder what you'll be doing next yr? i mean all these choices and decisions are gonna decide your future. and i just hope life has a surprise ( a nice one!) for me.

these days at the library have been boring but fun at times. like how rachel is high on seemingly nothing today and our paper aeroplanes with grace and her "bf's" face on it (they're pilots!) and our numerous teh peng breaks in the canteen. sigh...i want it over and done with!!! but it'd feel a little awkward to know that sth you've been preparing for so long is soon to be over. but who cares. im alrdy looking fwd to the post A's spree and frantic prom dress hunting!!! (onlyhave abt 8 days to do that!!!) it's like we've been talking abt it for so long and finally it's really really near.

yest, rachel (my bday matey!) celebrated our bday at my hse with some of the class. my dad and i even put up balloons like it was a 3 yr old's party ahha! it was quite a new feeling for me cos i had never really had a bday party before and i don't really enjoy crowds that well, because of awkward silences and moments. well, besides the fact that they were bored of my hse cos i have no games, no vcds, NOTHING to do at my hse, it went pretty well. i liked the fortune telling part (though its proven inaccurate!) and the hilight of the day must be project L (inside joke!) and rachel's expression was PRICELESS.
anyway, lots of pics!

grace likes her door gift

oh, don't you just love rachel when she's looking like a fool.

grace likes her second doorgift, a la bi xiao xing nailclipper

my mum's homemade smiley face bday cake adorned with m&ms and half a strawberry for a nose
grace likes my bday cake ahah.

the 2 gluttons of the day rachel and eunice (the pseudo a03b-ian)

HAAHAH eunice's expression is the BEST!





i like this photo ahahahha

flashing their million dollar sunkist smiles!


the cake's really cute! (though wax started dropping over...)


my pretty present. thank you!

rachel wearing her cancer patient hat. ahha, but she likes it alot cos it's some manga character's hat.

everyone

had a great time! and man, now im legal to drive, booze, buy booze, buy ciggies..hahahah! ok soon lah, 2 more days. you know rachel, we should sth dangerous or havoc on tuesday!

it was open hse today and man, i can still rmb every thing i did at the 04 open hse! man, times passes so quickly that i feel so old at times. today at the library had some silly moments when we were exchanging invitations and tmr is going to be swell i hope! expect pictures!

more pictures!


wah! grace's close to 180 degree taekwando kick! HAHA when will this 2 stop fighting!




view from the lockers

thsoe who went for the lantern festival celeb. man. wish i was there!

GEOG RM!!! ahahha, look at all the wonderful maps in the background(3D maps mind you! haha)!



entertaining ourselves with helium balloons....

which we plucked off the railing ahhaha



pepper lunch



(geog rm alert!)

geog rocks!

man i'll miss this place


err...70% of my class or 80%? haha (now you witness the severe lack of male presence!)

im SURE that there is a lit bk thief going around. or some locker spirit that steals books. grace lost her m4m and robert frost, rachel lost her robert frost and I the UNLUCKY SOUL. lost 2 BOOKS WITHIN A TERM. i really have no IDEA at all where they've gone! i have even pulled out my drawers to see if they've fell behind, and NO they are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. but on the other hand, i've no idea who could have broken into my locker, i mean the few of us who borroweach other's lockers sometimes would know one and another's combi but that can only limit the possible ppl down to 3 or 4 who could have taken them home wrongly. or maybe there's a THIEF GOING ARND STEALING LIT BKS COS THEY DUN HAVE THEIR OWN TO STUDY. if you're whoever i know and you're reading this and you see my name YAP ZHI XIN on the first page of the bks WOMAN WARRIOR AND HEART OF DARKNESS and you feel guilty, pls return it. if i really cant findthem and none of my frens have taken them by mistake, im going to the office estate management and request to look at the security videos or sth. it cant be so many lost bks from one row of lockers. I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN WHOEVER YOU ARE. there is a camera facing RIGHT at my locker. beware u thief

I'll Hear Your Voice

And now that we've reached the end,
I think of all that's passed
of how the time that went so fast
and of how I've come to depend
upon the faith I feel inside your guiding hands

Say you'll go with me forever, though I know that you can't
Well I ain't much with words
There's nothin' I could say that you ain't heard
But I promise you that each and every day

I'll hear your voice
In every thought that flows through my mind
I'll see your face
In every cloud that floats through my sky
And when the world is too much
and the hurt's got me down on my knees to pray
I'll hear your voice
and you won't be so far away

Do you remember a moonless night?
With only sound for a view,
funny what an ocean can do
It was then that we knew this was right,
and that the arms we shared we'd share so many nights

Say you'll go with me wherever, even though I know it's just a dream
Though I know it's unknown,
It's something that I gotta do alone
But I swear to you I could never do anything without your soul inside

I'll hear your voice
In every thought that flows through my mind
I'll see your face
In every cloud that floats through my sky
And when the world is too much
and the hurt's got me down on my knees to pray
I'll hear your voice
and you won't be so far away

Someday I'll hold you, and we will be sailin'
and I will never have to say goodbye again
Til then, til that day
I'll hear your voice, and you won't be so far away.

that's the song the squigs performed for our seniors during their prom and that seems jus like yest. thought the lyrics are pretty appropriate for this point in time, now that we've reached the end. it really hasnt sunk in yet but we have reached it. and i cant help but wonder where the days have gone - complaints, complaints but now that it's gone we learn to treasure it.

that day my dad was just explaining to me the story behind the 1812 overture, and that reminded me of my interest in music some yrs ago. and dropping piano will be that eternal regret at the back of my head. and that also reminded me that there's sth else i ought to do post A's, which is going for a concert/performance! i havent done that for REAL long. hmm, that last performance i went was dance night, which seemed really really long ago. and anyway, phantom of the opera is coming to sg!!!! for 07 march! if you wanna go please tell me! hahaha, i hope that i can make it for this singapore run. $50 for students

sigh. 3 more days to the official end of day. it's a mixed feeling i think. will miss geog lessons cos i love the small grp and the interaction with the teachers, and some teachers, friends...somehow this 2 yrs were very transient. i cant say i love my sch, because i think that only comes when you are very attached to ccas, hse or groups which im not obviously (check out my wondrously short cca form) but i will miss its environment as well...im really glad i got to stay and of cos i will miss my favouritest junior aminah! sigh...its hard to put into words, with everything going so fast

hahah my caffeine addiction hmm..kinda high lah! ahhaha, but definitely WAY better than earlier this yr k. control and restraint ahahha

i cant believe this is my last WEEK non-tertiary education. like the last week of uniforms, classes, student travel fares...it's scary! man, and this yr just FLEW past like that. and most of the time we've spent on books and somehow have become numb to the fact that we're leaving, farewell, sob sob kinda thing. really cant believe this! seems like yesterday when we first met our classes

sigh..how i've enjoyed the past few days of new found freedom...which will soon be taken from us AGAIN. YET AGAIN. and how am i spending this last holiday? lazing around at home, making jewelry, doing things i havent done for ages (like read that pile of time magazines since last yr). and i say this with utmost sincerity- I DONT WANNA GO BACK TO SCH!! :( :( i know its like the last few weeks of sch and i should be treasuring my time with my frens blah blah, but my class? i've probably said this before but somehow friends don't stay with me throughout the years..like how some close friends from secondary drifted even though we're in the same sch. im just glad the 401 girls are still ok and we meet once in a while (like when jasmine comes back). i jus hope that my current friends stay!

man, can you imagine that about less than 2 more months from now we'll ALL BE FREE!!!!!! that's when i must make sure EVERY SINGLE DAY is packed with activities. freedom is too precious to be wasted at home. i wanna travel so badly!! but its qt hard to organise an overseas trip, seeing how my class severely lacks male presence. and i want to leanr a new language, learn sewing, get a job...etc etc CANT WAIT alrdy.

my mum would be so proud of me!!! i just cleaned up my room!! i cleared my stuff, filed them away, stacked them nicely in my cupboard, reduced the clutter throwing away heaps of paper that i've used (im trying to see how large a pile of rough paper i can collect, ahha, my family sells the scrap paper to garang guni. might as well right, got money plus can recycle!). and boy....i still have one more paper. that sucks. and it also sucks that i end 11 days later than ms gan for the A's..it's not cos of s paper lor. even my main papers are later than hers. why oh why.

niwae, after the paper i wasnt jubilant or ecstatic or anything. just numb. ok lor, end alrdy lor. hahha, need time to transit to play mode man ahha. then we watched the movie Banquet. i must say it was pretty disappointing! shall try not to give spoilers (btw it's NC16 and woohoo! the first time i watched a rated movie legally!! the last time was...mystic river in sec 4? oh and that hmm, zombie show which was M18. felt good to be legal baby!)
1) Daniel wu's role was a wuss. whole day want to die want to die only
2) im pretty unsatisfied with the ending. i think zhang ziyi should have lived in guilt and it would end a "evil triumphs over good" kind of note....sounds like one of those lit bks....
3)it is INCESTUOUS. firstly, zhang ziyi was daniel wu's girlfriend before his father the emperor married her, and thus she becomes his stepmother. THEN, the emperor's bro usurped his throne and er...his woman as well, and so, zhang ziyi became her ex husband's brother's wife. THEN, zhou xun's bro seemed to express some...umm...beyond brotherly affections for her. damn incestuous k.

and whoever that reporter was who wrote that zhou xun stole the show was utterly biased agnst zhang ziyi or sth, cos obviously zhang ziyi did. she was evil to the core, as her role is supposed to be..partly. and zhou xun was just this innocent little girl. ahha, but anyway it was a little hmm annoying when the rolling credits showed zhang ziyi's name as "ziyi zhang" like what the....she's chinese still right, and the other names were in the normal arrgment. hmm, dun qt like this americanisation of her.

anyway, nxt moie im gonna catch? miami vice. gong li is hot hot hot. ok i sound les, but seriously man! she's not like...pretty as in sweet kinda pretty, but like..gorgeous kinda hot. like steaming hot. ahhah, her stare is so icy and sharp. haha gong li!

got this in the email. yeah i know, some of you may think it's cliched and all, but i especially liked the parts i bold. i think no matter what religion you are it does apply in some sense. and i admit i'm indeed not a very religious person in this manner.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.
Satan went to visit Jesus in the Garden of Eden,
and Satan came all happy and boasting. (Lk 4: 1-12; Job 1: 6-12)

"Yes, Lord, now I have everybody captive,
(well nearly everybody down there).
I set traps, I used the baits of temptation,
I know well what each one of them can't resist.
I nearly caught them all!" (I Pet 5: 8-9; Eph 6: 10-17)

"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
and He was praying to God the Father.

Satan answered "Oh, I am going to have some fun with them!"
I'll make them divorce after they have married
so the foundation of humanity will never be able to be established
"the family" (Mt 19: 4-6; Mal 2: 16)

I will make them hate each other and abuse each other,
make them fall into alcohol and drugs without control. (Rom 13: 12-14)

I will teach them to make weapons and bombs,
so they kill each other


"I am really going to have fun!"


"And when you are tired of playing with them, what will you do?"
Jesus asked. And continued praying

"Oh, I will kill them all and their souls will be mine forever"
"Lord by all respect, it's their decision" (I Jn 3: 8-10)


"How much do you want for all of them?" Jesus asked.

"Oh, you can't want these people. They aren't anything good.
Why do you want them if they neither follow you nor love you?
Many hate you! I have seen many of them spitting on you, cursing you and
even denying you."
"What's more, they love me a lot" (Mt 24: 10-13)
"You don't want these people!!"


"How much?" Jesus asked again


Satan looked at him with a nasty face


"All your tears and all your blood,
all the pain of the entire world, all together" (Is 53: 4-10; I Pet 2: 24)

Jesus said..."DONE"


"and He paid the price" (II Cor 5: 21)


How terrible it is that people don't seek for God,
and then ask themselves why the world is going to hell!


How terrible that we seek the newspaper everyday to read tragedies
and we never seek the Bible

How insensible it is how everybody wants to go to heaven,
thinking they can get there without having to believe,
without loving God above all things,
or doing what the Bible says...the Laws of God.


It is terrible how some people can say "I believe in God"
but still follow Satan (Who as matter of fact, does fear God)
(II Tim 4: 3-4; II Jn 1: 7-11)


Don't you think it's pathetic how they send
each other thousands of jokes by email,
so they spread like plagues.


But when it's about the Lord's messages,
we think about it twice before we share them;
and we leave the mailboxes of our friends without this message


Don't you think it is outrageous that the obscene,
vulgar and crude is allowed freely to pass through the internet
that even many people would desire to get into the screen.


But it is forbidden to speak publicly about Jesus
in the schools, places of work
self-helping groups, etc... (Acts 4: 19-20)


Even after knowing what He did for us.
Because the Romans didn't kill Him. It was our sin.
that we may be forgiven
and know Him in His glory with the Father.

Doesn't it seem incredible to you how somebody can be alight
on Sabbath in the Church,
worshipping and thanking the Lord for His mercy,
for one more day to live etc.


But during the rest of the week he is an invisible Christian! (II Tim 3:
1-5; Rom 10: 9-13)


Does this seem just to you?

Don't let Satan stop you sending this Mail
to all your contacts on the Web,
It doesn't matter if he tells you that many don't believe this


May God bless you always (II Cor 13: 13)

by the end of this prelims, i'd have about written 31 essays (considering a drq as one)!!! oh my gosh. im so proud of myself. and janice is correct! geog paper was a bladder and arm endurance test HAHA. seriously ah, why must they torture to finish essays in such a short time?! 1st, the markers have to suffer from our gross and illegible handwriting (no wonder cambridge takes so long!) 2nd, we don't sound coherent near the back, like geog ah sometimes no time to change to nicely phrased sentences, and adding things here and there makes it really messy. i CANT WAIT for next wk to come oh please come.

i got this in an email, which said that a young girl from new york who has cancer wrote it. no matter whether it's spam or not, it makes so much sense and i find myself nodding to the questions.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short

The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?

When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?


When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores
Running through your head? (yes)


You’d better slow down

Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told your child

We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,”Hi” (yes)

You’d better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.

The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

exam times are very unpleasant. i forgo my hobby sleep leisure exercise (feels wobbles) times, my table is like a war zone (even after cleaning up), my nose is itching like mad, im falling sick soon, and my mind is blank. i really dunno whether that's a gd sign. like ct2, my mind is now rather blank and numb. so i really REALLY have no idea if im absorbing all these that im revising. how now brown cow. thank you gregory for that quote from george bernard shaw .
"Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not." i won'y forget but for now it's just postponed. now its earning the moolah first and when i've gained financial power I call the shots and do what i want muahahaha

ooh. my horoscope says: stop pretending that this is enough.the stars want you to follolw your passion. what genuinely moves you? what would you do for free? set your sights in that direction.

haha it's a SIGN. what i would do for free? hmm, sth like andrea sachs job (in devil wears prada). just let me go to paris fw (and hobnob with karl lagarfeld and friends. ahha)

my mum showed me this article in the wanpao today abt this little pri sch girl whose mum encouraged her to join some cdc fashion design competition and apparently won sth, and my mum was like saying, so this is what you wanna do is it? and i said yes. and i thought, if only she could be more understanding of my likings and if only my family was one that is more encouraging of being different or being beyond conventional and not one that would have expectations of just settling for the conventional. i mean, sometimes, success or satisfaction doesnt just come from being conventional, following suit, earning a proper living and more or less comfortable. sometimes, there is much more beyond that. like i read on today, where they asked the 77th st founder (elim chew?) about whether passion for one's job is overrated. i agree with her lah, about the pt that if you dont have the passion for sth, gonig to work would just be a chore cos you're merely there to earn a living lor, get by each day like that lor. then what, waste your youth away? but, i also think that words like "follow your dreams" "dream like noone can say no" that kinda things, are bullshit in this world. go tell a 18yr old singapore jc student, who has a beyond conventional dream (ie not doctor, scientist yada yada) that and see if they tell you it;s possible.

i can personally tell you, no it's not possible. partly cos of my family as well. but seriously, when you're at this stage, there's so much at stake and obviously no sane person would give up all that. a less that encouraging family isnt gonna help much too. but somehow i'm over that phase already. i think the stubborness and drive is a sec sch thing that i've kinda gotten over.

there's another phase that i've gotten over but my mum is bringing it up again. braces!!there was a time in sec 3 when i REALLY REALLY wanted to get braces but my mum said no, it's very painful its very troublesome blah blah, and now she sees her fren's daughter having nice teeth she starts talking about it again. and now that im over it, she says its gd and nice and blah blah. and i told her, when i really wanted it you say no! but now she's given me the approval to go ahead if i really want to. so i shall conduct some opinion polls and decide if i want to have them. haha. sigh. sometimes, one should really just consider and ponder over sth less. when in doubt jus buy/get/do it. sometimes acting on an impulse (for harmless things i mean) makes one happier than regretting later on!

having mini fridges in class rocks. first of all, we had whipped cream and strawberries, then we turn on the heating function and have warm melted cheese subways, next, we have khong guan biscuits with carnation milk (which everyone loves now cos i recommended it) and we also have nice cold m&ms which are, by the way, the in-est thing in the cosmetics world. m&ms colouring for lipsticks, how's that!!

the playground near my hse is almost done with renovati0n, but sadly, it'll be one of those rubber mat ones. i miss sand playgrounds!!!!! i guess this one is probably one the last ones around having sand :( yeah, i know its for kid's safety and all that, but kids need to grow up, they need to know what's pain and learn from that right? what's a scratch or two man? so now i cant take the swing and feel the warm sand between my toes, or scribble words with sticks on sand anymore. sigh.

there's so much at hand it gets a bit messy at times and at this point, its not sacrificing this for that because EVERYTHING is freaking impt and you cant afford to not do something. gosh.that's what i totally hate about being a j2 cos you make such crucial decisions amidst the preparation for the big A's.

this 2 weeks are gonna be a whirlwind. i have about a 100 slop retrt and transportatin theories to remember and a thousand other evidence for climotology and also a few million economic theories and their limitations to study PLUS a few gazillion math qns to do. maths is consuming me. i feel like im doing math every single moment. save me.

if i give this 2 yrs an overview, it would seem that they've passed very quickly, but if i look at individual events, it's actually been pretty damn long. like how i thought jasmine came back last yr when it was only new yr! and how i thought i last saw iris last yr when it was only during chingay. and it's really weird to think how our jc journey is ending soon (abt 3 wks left before the sept hols and not much time left after that) and how it's not gonna end in a nice, warm, sob-sob manner like pri sch or sec sch, cos this time we will be seriously mugging our asses off and there's not much time to sob and mope. but i must say that i probably will not feel the nostalgia cos my class is qt fragmented and all, and i won't miss THE class, but just individuals.

well, one thing i'll definitely rmb frm jc is the GEOG CLASSES!! i love geog classes!! they're most of the time fun and funny - with mr lee's samba dance and various entertaining gestures, and not to forget miss law's silly and blur moments ( like how she describes ridges as swiss rolls and how we always manage to irritate her somehow). the science ppl are very fun also lah, so we always have a great time and great laughs during geog. speaking of geog. i jus dreamt of rg miss pang the other day!

finally watched pirates last friday and zhiyi grace and i were having this little debate on whether orlando bloom looks nicer dirty a la will turner or spick and span a la legolas. ahhaha. and i LOVE jack sparrow!! he's really the one worth watching for in the movie. i must say i prefer pirates 1, i think the characters were stronger in their personalities. but anyway, i cant wait for pirates 3 to be out already. ahha! jack sparrow!!!

yay to NO MORE PE! such a significant moment. NO MORE PE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. hahaha. i mean, pe has nv been truly enjoyable to me, so gd riddance! though i must say our pe teachers have been very nice and compromising. haha.

in case you havent realised,i've changed my pic --->> . i <3 the tango, and it's music too. and i've come to realise that i like monochrome photos, besides the fact that it matches my blog layout well. haha. but anyway, i really enjoy avant garde photog. it's sth i wouldn't mind trying out one day, and it'd be nice to do it for a living, though its one of those careers that you can nv be sure if you can even feed yourself

yest was racial harmony day!! and our class dressed up again. it was pretty fun! ahha ( and sch passed relatively quickly, maybe cos we were deceived that we were not actually in sch since we weren't wearing sch u) .



the blues!

me and lulu the snake charmer. you gotta love her turban!





so sad! its our last RHD! like janice said, last time rg damn fun! 1) no sch 2) everybody dresses up and if u don't u're the minority 3) fun stuff, like carnivals, food, and henna painting, etc. i loved 04 RHD! our class honoured our "roots" and all wore saris ahhaha, the muthusamy-s!! and i have many idiotic pics too ahahha.

i rmb the first time i wore a baju kurong was in pri sch!! for this national day skit that our class put up in p5!! it was sth abt the jap invasion, so i was like one of the villagers. ahah, i know we had a cannon prop! haha, using those long paper rolls and boxes, then u noe how the story goes. the guns were pointing in the wrong direction cos the japs came from m'sia unexpectedly. hahha, i rmb ben and sam were like the jap soldiers and eddy was "lky" hahahah!! and minjie and chengyen were the photographers or sth. hahaha!! (i've gd memory!!) and then there were "Merdeka" signs arnd hahaha. pri sch kids qt smart also huh. ahha

then, it was meeting with the girls in town, since jasmine is back from Beijing

bryna and jas (bryna's skin is so flawless it glows!!!)

gaia, francesca, sherilyn, sharm
kahei and eve
