Her Rants

i'm totally in love with norah jones. xinhui, go listen to her. (we have the same impeccable taste in music remember?) oh by the way, i liked the book so much, i'm actually reading this other book by the same author. =)
i've been really tired lately. weegin said my dark rings are really obvious..well at least the weekend is here! hmm, i've got an organic chem test on monday but argh.. i need my sleep! anyway, i ended school really early today and i read my book most of the afternoon while waiting for cheerleading to start. talked a bit to gab, fq and candice in between though. oh yea, i finally met mr whitby and i agreed to emcee for the concert. haha. only because it's rather slack - i don't have to write the script.
cheerleading wasn't too bad, in fact, i kinda miss it. =) well there're still alot of things to do though. it's gonna be a busy few weeks ahead. but i'm glad most of the year 1s are so cooperative! well i spoke to agnes, ui aik and alene after that.. had lots to tell them, especially about yesterday. and yes! peiying said she wanted to go for dinner..then shaun came in..then russell came in.. and wala! we ended up at russell's place eating food we bought from newton! woohoo! just like last time! i'd say i had a really good time! russell's a really good host man.. but there was this problem with the lift and in the end, me, peig and alene got kinda scared coz we thought there was a ghost or something. we actually shrieked and used the stairs in the end (the others gave up on the lift and used the stairs before us..we thought we'd give the lift a last try..).
i miss doing things like that. wish there could've been more people there though.

i had a really good talk with yuen sean and gabriel today. i don't think i've ever had such a serious conversation with either one of them before but i'd say it was really productive. i think yuen sean didn't know that some of us do know alot.. anyway, if you're reading this, you're most welcome ya? =) actually, it gave me a wake up call.. i agree with what gabriel said, and i know i'm guilty of it too. especially to the lignum 6th, i know i've been acting a bit weird of late, think eileen knows perfectly how i feel..she's already working on it, i think it's time i do too. sorry if i've been showing attitude sometimes..this year's been really stressful.. but like yuen sean said, we need to review our mentality. to end off, i just wanna let you guys know that even though we've been thru' so much, i'm still proud and i don't have any regrets abt joining house. yep.
oh btw, thanks kat for the recipe. i hope all of you who ate it didn't fall ill or something yea?

tictacs: what do i not know? i used to play for the school so don't assume i don't know the feeling of "being there." and for your information, i knew we were leading. i've got people messaging me to update me about the score thru' out the entire game. and why're u asking me abt the type of people the school sends down to cheer? why don't you do something more productive and feedback to the school instead? and it doesn't matter whether or not the school sends down sec2s of sec4s coz i'm pretty sure the girls would've played their best all the same.
xinhui: silly thing! i can't hear the first track at all..i wouldn't know right? haha. btw, i'll cut out the article on yesterday's game against scgs for you. got jiao lian's face. =) quite funny..
sabrina: aye..yes.. scgs is this year's national champion for b division girls. *sob sob*
i'm only online coz i had to amend a part of the pt comm proposal. went to school today to run with weegin in the morning..then i had meeting with a few of the other house reps. ohoh, we had cheerleading in the afternoon, conducted by mr michael tay and well, i'd say he was pretty efficient. it was pretty good for a day's work. =) i was quite impressed! waited at serene with the rest of the lignum 6th for eileen but in the end, she didn't turn up also.. but nope, we're not pissed or anything la, don't worry okay? i know i haven't talked to you for quite a while also.. i mean, i've been in a weird mood myself. wanna thank you for coming down today though i know you're real busy too.. if you need to cry again, come look for me ya? and agnes, pls go see a doctor soon!!! oh yes, kelly, it was quite nice talking to you on the bus. =)

hey, thanks all you people who left messages on my guestbook..
my school didn't win the match against scgs but well.. national 2nd still isn't bad. and van aw got mvp! wow.. how cool is that man.. haha. congrats to them all the same..
we had like, 5 grueling hours of listening to electoral speeches. some of them were really entertaining. oh, pradip was entertaining too. haha. i was quite surprised that most people stayed till the end of it. turn out was pretty good. i did notice a few people missing after lunch though. oh well. saw mr dio when i was on the way home. a part of me wants to do dramafest this year but then again, there are so many other things i need to do..
xinhui, i'll tell you when i see you online or sthg yea? and lemme know when exactly you're coming back to SG okay? by the way, i finished the book. it's good. thank you. =)

i hate my freaking father. bloody hell. he won't let me go to korea for some stewpid excuse that i don't think is a reason. i'm not even asking him to pay dammit. he's so fucking unreasonable. all my life he's been making the decisions and even now when i'm 18 he's still calling the shots. basket. i wanna be emancipated.
i can't watch my junior's match on friday because of the election speeches. screw it. i end at like.. 12+pm usually on fridays? but because of the elections i've gotta stay back till like.. 3+? as much as i try to convince people to stay for the speeches, if i had a chance, i'd go watch the match myself.. i mean after all, it's the first time we're fighting for 1st and 2nd in the nationals.. i really wish i can be there.
fcuk it la. so irritating. i hope the world crashes and burns.

firstly, happy birthday to michelle chiang and handi!
Dance Night was yesterday and well, i had fun. i think most of us did. =) the ip students looked sooo cute! i met ui aik a few hours earlier to get flowers for the people we know and the florist was so funky.. haha. met a few of the house reps for dinner then kat, ui aik and i went to get seats at acs barker first. we got an entire row for ourselves! other memorable events at barker yesterday..how pradip and clara introduced the wrong item; 2 of the chinese dancers bumped into each other on stage; how gabriel ran to 7-11 just to get batteries for clara's failing mic.. so sweet! hmm..oh yea, eileen, don't worry abt it la..i've been in a rather foul mood the entire week, it's not your fault ya?
met jess and huili after that and we watched passion of the christ at 12 midnight! before that we were just talking and taking pictures. lynetteee! you shld've come! we were in town all the way till like.. 3 am+ and we were quite surprised to see the njc oac people.. haha. jiawen looked so cute with her big bag! met 2 of huili's friends and after that we shared a cab to jess's place.. huili was talking to her friend downstairs so jess and i went up first. that girl is so wacky, haha. we took a bit of her brother's baileys and we talked a lot. i think huili came up around 5am+. by then we were soo shagged i think we fell asleep soon after..
we left jess's place around 2pm+ and i reached home around 3.. and yes.. slept all the way till 7pm! i've got a whole pile of work to do.. sigh. don't feel like doing it though. anyway, huili and jess.. thank you girls! i had so much fun last night.. =) i'll see u all soon!

for the first time this week, i actually got home before 8pm. what a miracle. ui aik said he noticed i was a bit weird this week.. prob 'coz i'm so tired. i was hoping we'd get a break next week but noooo... we've got track and field, and cheerleading. great. the list of elects is out. good luck to all of them. oh. and i think singapore's the only place in the world where weather's considered a topic of conversation? it's absolutely crazy!
looking forward to dance night tomorrow. it's one of the few things i've been looking foward to this week. all the best to the people i know (i.e. western dancers, malay dancers and indian dancers). =) there was a soccer match yesterday, NJ vs AJ. wow. it was soo exciting. and before that jess, lyn and i finished one whole tub of venezia ice-cream! i love tiramisu. thank goodness for small things like that to help me get by the week.

this week's been crazy..
interviews.
early morning meetings.
late nights.
proposals.
rushing and desperately getting people to cooperate.
i don't understand why the school just has to let people organise and lead activities sometimes.. i mean..surely it's obvious why they're not already holding a leadership position right?
i think the only positive thing that's happened so far this week is the fact that i got to know someone whom i used to be afraid of a litte better. i'm pleasantly surprised. oh. and the fact that i counted more than 52 stars in the sky last night.
we're going to step down soon.. it's a sad thought, but i think most of us will be glad to. we're tired and drained from putting up with all that shit.

was supposed to run yesterday but well..haha..someone turned up late. had a combined GM at 11 am and i think my committee's pretty cool..got lots of nice people inside. the rest of the day went by so fast.. oh. and i decided to go for the combined house dinner thingy in the evening. it wasn't exactly fun but hey, at least my entire house turned up. i couldn't go home early and alene was so nice - she volunteered to stay with me till late. =) it was nice talking to you girl!
i finally received the package that xinhui sent. thanks! =) the cd's cool, just that the first track's blank..haha. i couldn't identify a couple of the songs in it but yea, i really like it! the next week's kinda packed so i don't know when i'll get a chance to read the book, but i'm sure i'll enjoy it la. anyway..it should be the 10th of april there right now.. so..happy 20th birthday to you!!

i only reached home like half an hour ago coz i went out with my lignum 6th! haha..idiots! tried to fool me again..okay but fine.. this time i really didn't know what they were up to..i mean..i actually believed daryl was going off early and all that? bahh! even agnes! the most honest of the lot! haha.. aye. they spent a lot of effort on the present i'd say..and yes, i love it! and then ui aik said dinner was hot cross buns (it was the first time i actually ate them). well i obviously didn't believe that! we walked along the same stretch of clarke quay like.. 3 times? each time ui aik held on to the huge board and together with his bag and shoes..he looked like a primary school kid holding onto his project! he got alot of attention though.. the girls from one of the bars got quite irritated i think..coz we kept walking up and down but we refused to go in and she said sthg to ui aik..hahaha. =)
we finally settled down at this chinese restaurant (daryl booked a table), the kinda place i would go with my family. it's really well...fresh..going with them. i mean, usually people would go to places like nydc or swenson's or sthg right? it was a really nice dinner..food was good and we crapped alot. erm. okay except dessert. haha. sorry guys. oh oh! then we took a ride on the river taxi. it was so amazing! erm.. i forgot to ask if alene enjoyed it..i mean..after all, she sat on it during yltc.. haha. but eileen and i sure did! we were standing and waving and screaming to anyone and everyone.. the people dining at the fullerton were so enthusiastic! the feel of the wind against your face and being out in the open..it was great. we stopped at the esplanade and this band was playing.. we stayed there to watch for a while before going on an all out photo taking session. ui aik brought his new camera (oh, the poor guy got cheated..he paid 100+ bucks more..hahaha.) and we took quite alot of pictures! =)
sat down and and talked at mrs fields until like.. 11pm? what a day.. i just read the messages on the board and i think they expected me to cry but err.. haha. =) i'm really touched though.. really.. all the stuff that you all wrote.. it's just unbelievable how far we've come together.. i can't thank you all enough. :)

oh shucks. it's quite disappointing really..the international friendship day thing and the interviewees..bah. i hope those from my house are capable people.. *sigh* but i'm really looking forward to interviews next week! *evil laughter* haha.
i had a blast today! met up with the girls and had one hell of a dinner at ps! yesterday was chocolate..today was ice-cream..loads of it! but it was sooo goooooddd! and the stuff that they got me.. so cute! not forgetting pinkish and purplish.. haha. i haven't seen them all since err..weixin's birthday, with the exception of jiawen and huiling, and there was really so much to laugh about.. it brought back a lot of good memories too. i miss them a lot.. and as promised, here's a shout-out to everyone of them.

jw: hey babe! i know i can always count on you to make me feel better when i'm studying.. or anything to do with studies for that matter. hahaha. seriously though..i'm glad to know there's someone going thru' all this with me too.. =)
xl: i was quite surprised you didn't know about the picture in my wallet. so slowww!!! haha. but i really had a good time catching up with you. send me the pics soon! =)
xn: how come you left so earlyyyyyyy! *sob* see see..i didn't get to talk to you much! but hey..it was really nice seeing you! be faithful to me ya? =P

i just wanna say a big thank you to everyone who wished me today.. everyone from fellow house reps and njcians, to old friends, to ancient friends.. =) especially people like lynette, jialing, jess, ronald, weegin, hasan, xinhui, my lignum 6th, peig, huili, michelle chiang and alroy.. i can't thank you all enough. birthdays are really just like any ordinary day for me but it's people like you all who make it special.. i know you're all really busy (not forgetting tired and drained) with school work, dance, council+house, trainings etc etc.. i really really appreciate the thought and effort. i don't think i can stress this enough. =) to all who have in their own way, made this day such a special one for me.. thank you sooo much.

woohoo! i hit my targeted 2.4km timing! under 12 mins! =) i'm quite pleased..makes up for the drop in the other items. had a merger/elections meeting during lunch and the next couple of days will be packed.. but i think i might miss a few meetings here and there, got stuff planned through out most of the week. met jialing after school today! i haven't seen her for sooo long! :) i miss talking crap and catching up with her man.. we had dinner at pizza hut coz i wanted to try the double crust thingy? my gosh! we were so full after that! but it was a good meal.. the waitress was soo funny! she brought us one big round around the place just to get our tables.. haha. what a joke. :) i had a really wonderful evening jialing..thank you so much, for the evening, for dinner, for the present, for everything. hope you'll get to see her at big-O soon man. hee hee.

i'm really disappointed in my napha test. my fitness dropped so much. but i can't complain that much also, i mean, i'll probably still get a gold overall.. so fine. i'll shuttup. went to town after that but it wasn't really productive for me but i'm glad lynette got something though! :) i'm downloading a random episode of csi. it had better not be something that i've watched before or i would've wasted 4 and a half hours of downloading time. meanwhile, i'll go take a nap..

my lignum girls are so clumsy! hahah. eileen's perpetually tripping over sthg and falling down..and poor agnes! fell while training up for napha..and because of that, i don't know if she'll be able to take the napha test tomorrow. and alene! joker! she just sprained her leg - at home! hahahahhahaha. sorry girl.. but when i read your message i laughed out
loud! i guess our shopping trip will have to be put on hold eh? nvm la..wait till you recover first ya?
it's the weekend, finally. okay no. i still gotta go to school tmr for the napha test. but i'm going out with lynette after that.. :) it was raining a lot today.. but that's good.. i like rain. shall sleep early for the first time this year.

it's a start. i stayed away from the computer for a couple of days. :) well let's see..yes..got back most of my grades. i'm not surprised at them but i was rather upset over chemistry. dammit. shall not elaborate here. i think i've complained enough in school already. ronald's so funny, he does a lot of silly stuff and it never fails to make me feel better.. talked to jiawen on tuesday and i'm pretty glad she decided to keep all 4 subjects..i mean, we used to be of the same standard last time. haha. had common lunch with the girls on wednesday and huiling! as usual, so smart! met esther after school on wednesday and it was pretty good seeing her..i guess i kinda missed her. i'll probably see them some time next week. i'm dying to meet wenjie! she actually pierced her ears again!
my class had the dialogue session with the principal today and it's exactly like what francine said.. and she digressed so much and talked about things that most of us weren't exactly interested in until a few people around me fell asleep. the class rep of the other class was super funny though. hahah. we had a good laugh at how persistent he was in getting a rack where people could leave their pe shirts out to dry. :)
it's weird in a nice way, how 2 people whom i haven't seen in years (yes, years, really) contacted me today.. i hope jinghui's doing fine..i might take the chance to meet up with her when xinhui comes back. *shrugz* and jeremy from the 3rd place! he's back from PNG and he wants to meet up with jonathan and i for coffee next week. probably coz good friday's next week.. but i did think about asking jonathan out anyway. i haven't spoken to him in eons! was thinking about catching Passion with him (muahahaz, i'll be 18 by then..) but then again, i told alene i might watch it with them instead. will see how..
my lignum girls: it's only one common test, let this be a wake up call for all of us ya? no point crying over spilt milk.. we just gotta work for it.
qin: hey, it's okay la. i think i was irritated the entire day, not just coz of you. haha.
