29.9.06 c'est un fait accompli
YAYyYyYyY!!!! i'm back!! :):):):):) it's friday and it's TGIFO thank God it's finally over. yep i have a LOTTTTT to thank God for :) thank You for pulling me thru
actually i dont feel much like blogging now.. i just feel like blog hopping, looking for more funny websites and news from all over the world, those kinda mindless stuff. including running. but i can't do that now cos it's too late NVM I'M RUNNING WITH JAVA TMR! :):) andand reading books that are not compulsory lit texts! :):) i dint borrow any chick lit this time! :P ELISA!!! i've got CLOSING TIME! yossarian lives :) bishan library is rather disappointing. boo. quite a number of shelves are half empty and those "thinking pods" are so cliched. bleargh. but wtv, at least the books are still nice and new, for now. i think i'm like the first person to borrow their copy of The Great Gatsby haha!
ok my thots are jumping all over the place. i should just sign off now :) oh but just to prove that i'm still the PUNdit, this is how i remembered that "for composite function gf to exist, Rf must be a subset of Dg" -> for a girlfriend to exist, you must be rich first to because they all dig gold.
for the record, i used "pundits" to explain "gurus" for gp compre paper. ELISA, YOU ARE EVER ON MY MIND. :X yucks, that's as creepy as Strange and Beautiful.
[edit] i think i know what i want to be when i grow up: a copywriter. i can do a far better job than the psn who did the tagline for that nescafe ad u see at busstops, yknow the one that reads "One Less Reason to Diet"? took me a whole bus ride to figure it out, or should i say non-figure-it-out because by the end of the bus ride it was a relief to start considering worthier things like "should i dash across the road?". yah. and i got a headache from it too, totally undesirable considering the next day was econs and chinese lit. boo to you mr/ms nescafe ad copywriter.
anyways, when i become a copywriter, i will become a hot favourite among singaporean magazines because their taglines and captions are so darned lame i had to take my hat thinking cap off to the people who write them because it kills my brain cells just to read what they write. take for example, a caption under a celebrity couple's photo i read in nine-minus-one days magazine sometime back (DISCLAIMER: THE MAG WAS NOT MINE): FRIENDS NO MORE: Brad and Jennifer's marriage was the Pitts.
well, it certainly was the pitts. :{ and i dont know what inspired this rant. [/edit]
i've got a hunch and you can prove me right or wrong, in which case my paper heart will tear.

economics is a rather vulgar subject. first , we learn that price elasticity of demand is determined by SHIT, then we learn that when answering data response questions, you need to be RUDE: Recognise relevant economics Understand the relevant economics Discuss the relevant economics Evaluate the economic issues
on the other hand, it is with the help of all these vulgarities that we are able to remember economic concepts, so perhaps i should just shut up.
in conclusion, mugging economics has made me feel like sprouting vulgarities.
there you go, the hegelian dialectic. as understood by me, without all the funny hand actions.

went to study in school today, not bad, at least i managed to clear up some math probs with mrteoh and siauxi&siaurui's help. :) and i wanna employ jo as my private econs tutor!! pretty please?? :P
elisa and i left at about 6 and i decided to take a detour and walk her to macritchie double busstop (don't worry shawna, we dint see the wall at all haha). so of course we made sure to pass by the paddle lodge area. sat on the bench near the pontoon for a while. there was this guy rowing around on a k1 and i felt so envious. sort of stared at the water and imagined myself rowing for a bit.. but it doesn't even come close to the real thing, far far from it. oh and we suspect our happy squirrel pull-up club membership is going to be revoked. :S my chin doesn't go near enough to the bar already.. darn. yknow when i joined canoeing at the beginning of this yr i never imagined it would become such a big part of my life.. :( i really miss training, sweating it out with the team around me, joking, having fun, pushing each other on, and BURSTING in gideon/gideon jnr!! argh.. i hope i wont lose my strokes.. air paddling is just not enough.
anyways, elisa and i agree that this is the perfect song for a stalker:
I've been watching your world from afar, I've been trying to be where you are, And I've been secretly falling apart, I'll see. To me, you're strange and you're beautiful, You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see, You turn every head but you don't see me.
I'll put a spell on you, You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you. And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see, lyricstop And you'll realise that you love me.
Strange and Beautiful Aqualung
and i think my iPod is in love with Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars, cos even tho it's on shuffle mode, it keeps playing that song until i'm kinda sick of it. bleargh.
& i have a crazy idea. once i'm done with chinese lit paper 2 next friday, i'll dash home, dump my bag and change out, then jog all the way to orchard. then i'll hang around borders for a bit, buy some nice book and take the train back before dinner. sounds good? :) i've even got the route planned out. now if only i can be sure borders wont throw me out because i stink too much or something.
[edit] i just wanted to add, I LOVE MY MUM! i wouldn't have put up with me but somehow she does :P [/edit]

19.9.06 Treasures in Jars of Clay
i was telling ray that i think it's weird i'm not feeling any stress at all. usually one week before any major exams i'd be so high-strung i would snap at my mum when she asks more questions than i wanted to answer (and feel horrigible, terrigible, like a vegetable afterwards SORRY MRSO_DEN!) and all the time, when i'm studying or whatever, there would be this "white noise" in the back of my mind like the static u hear on radio.. and it just made me grouchier than ever. heck, in the last month or so i was under so much pressure that i used to wake up and find my jaws clenched tightly.. but now i've got this clarity of mind that i've hardly ever experienced, and i actually feel happy and look forward to doing math sums, going thru the lit texts thoroughly, and finally sitting for promos. strange eh? :) so i was wondering, what happened? how did stress leave me overnight? then it hit me, because this is what i asked of God, to take my anxieties and burden away and replace it with His peace. so yup, it all began with a prayer :)
wait, actually it all began with me misplacing my handphone pouch last friday. i went to sch late because i dint feel up to friday morning GP lesson, being on medication for my cough and all.. so when i got to school, there was the whole PW WR submission episode which basically involved lotsa mad dashing and me banging my forehead against a doorframe in a rush to see mrsD and by the end of that i was so irritated i couldn't sit down to concentrate on math at all. then as if having a throbbing headache and engaging in a staring contest with math wasnt bad enough, i realised my pouch had pulled a disappearing act. i was freaking pissed by then obviously. if i lose my hp i would cry, because there were so many messages fr my friends tt i really treasure and still look thru from time to time for inspiration and motivation to press on not to mention PICTURES OF MY FRIENDS DOING WEIRD STUFF THAT I CAN SO TOTALLY USE FOR BLACKMAILING IN THE FUTURE haha like this one of elisa trying to find out if the pair of blue shorts she liked in royal sporting hse was her size by measuring it against her neck (as suggested by a very insistent jave).
ok digressed. anyways, i was so distraught i angsted for 1hr++ and i was already in chinese lit before it occurred to me that i could pray about it. O_O so i prayed.. and when class ended i dashed back to the sr we were in for math and asked bren, sru, etc if they saw it and they all said no. UNTIL this girl that i don't really know bent down and looked underneath the chair i was sitting on and FOUND MY POUCH DANGLING OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT!!! cos the blue sequined star got caught between the plastic seat and the metal leg.. wahlao. i almost died laughing in relief and amusement! could've sworn i looked all around me, and to think i was sitting on it, literally, all along!
so i know that was a really minor episode and u're wondering how on earth is it related to stress? yah well, that night before i went to sleep, i was thinking about it and it suddenly struck me, something i've conveniently forgot all along, ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. nothing is too big or small for God, so long as you ask for it, and God must have planned for what happened to happen to remind me just that. so that night i prayed and traded in everything that has been disturbing me and distracted me from Him for His joy and peace :))
i havent had much chance to talk to most of the canoobs since this break from trng started but i just want yawl to know that there's really no point worrying. God's laid out our lives for us and like always, JUST DO YOUR BEST AND GOD WILL DO THE REST. this time i'm really living it. :)
..and i was reading 2 Cor 4, which Delirious has got in a song:
I am pressed but not crushed persecuted, but not abandoned struck down, but not destroyed I am blessed beyond the curse, for His promise will endure and His joy will be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night His joy comes with the morning.
Trading my Sorrows (Excerpt)
:) HEARTS UP PEOPLE! we'll make it.

German man fools Chinese police with terracotta warrior disguise
A 26-year-old German art student foxed police on Saturday by disguising himself as a terracotta warrior and taking up position in the world-famous terracotta army.
Pablo Wendel was seen jumping into the five-meter deep pit at 2 p.m. on Saturday to join about 2,000 unearthed warriors and horses housed in the terracotta army museum in Xi'an, local police told Xinhua on Sunday.
The sudden movement of the shadowy figure startled the six police officers on duty, who rushed over and followed Wendel into the pit.
But Wendel had come prepared. He had carried out a reconnaissance mission a few days earlier and had selected a spot among the warriors that would give him the most cover.
Better still, he had designed himself a gown and hat, identical to those once worn by Emperor Qinshihuang's warriors, in Hangzhou in east China where he currently studies performance art, and even brought a rectangular plinth to stand on. After leaping into the pit, he quickly donned his costume and waited.
Police said it took them two minutes to find the "living terracotta warrior", clad in military garb and staring straight ahead with unblinking eyes.
The police officers tried to force him to leave but Wendel persisted with his pose.Finally, the police officers picked up the prostrate figure and carried him out as if he was a log, the police said.
Wendel, whose Chinese name is Ma Lin, said that he has been crazy about the terracotta warriors since childhood. "I have always dreamed of disguising myself as a terracotta warrior among the real ones," he explained.
Police considered that as Wendel's actions did not cause any damage to the cultural relics and he was clearly passionate about the warriors, it only warranted "serious criticism and education". His outfit was also confiscated and he was sent back to Hangzhou by local police on Saturday evening.

HAPPY SEVENTEENTH VANDEPOOT! <3
as usual, when i declare something on this blog, the outcome is the direct opposite. so FINE THAT WASN'T MY LAST POST, STUPID BRAIN, NOW CAN WE GET ON WITH IT AND ACTUALLY MAKE THIS THE LAST POST??? rahh.
whatever. anyways, the purpose of my being online again today is to make a log of PoP session #2. here's how it went:
ET: LOL i just though of the lamest thing after hearing thunder. i'm a cloud and you're a cloud and when we collide, there's electricity, baby! XD
ME: ARGH when we collide we go, "PoP"!! haha what cloudy visions we're having.
ET: Hahaha oh man! We are hydrogen gas, making lighted splints go out with a PoP! Yeah my eyes are clouded over.
ME: Right now my brain is filled with helium and my stomach, hydrogen. I dun think i wanna collide with u for fear of spontaneous combustion with a faint PoP.. :P
ET: Hahaha i think more likely when we collide, you'll expel copious amounts of methane! XD
ME: Then u'll have to be nitrogen, and wouldn't that make u DENSE? cant remember my chem already evidently
ET:Yarh, you can't remember your chem haha. I'm carbon and i bond with your four hydrogen atoms and we go around killing people with our smell*. XD
ME: Oh Shhit (Haha!) there's a reason why msGoh warned me against taking chem :P anyways, ximi is too much of an ex-psl to go around killing people.
ET: Aw! XD it's okay i'm sure we'll be able to force her into doing it! We can uh...threaten her with lame puns. :)
ME: Or take punitive measures ;)
ET: Lol like enveloping her with our PUNgent methane smell?
ME: yah and we'll have to be punctilious about it. Omggxx, cheemPUNzee! I wins! :D
ET: Hahahahahaha!Oh man we ARE cheemPUNzees! Cos we make such incredible puns! I bet the monkeys love us. Oh no now we can't laugh at boon.
--- at this point, i would like to clarify that i've never made fun of boon. yup. NEVER ok? i dunno what elisa's thinking, that founder of the BOON SUPREMACY Fan Club--- ME: Aww well there's a BOON and kane.. i mean BANE to everything! Can't have our cake and eat it too, cos the monkeys all want a slice of us
ET: O.o te monkeys will eat everyone except us and the BANE. Hahaha if BANE end up as partners next year we'll have quite an interesting slogan for them... XD
ME: Yeah like "here comes the koon and the bane, all part ways"? ARGH THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND! :D
ET: Hahaha oh man! Yarh it'll be hilarious larh! Oh man how did we get from a pickup line to this.** O.o
ME: Oh well we're puny greats, can't be helped. darn i'm going to blog this again! Haha!
ET: Lol yes! Hahaha we rocks larh! Pop unite! XD
*xinmiao is periodically referred to as smell or ximi **this is the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION.
Generating PoP Session Report #2..
Outcomes of discussion:
The fact that ET and Yangster are lunatics is now one that can be verified on Wikifailure.. OOOPS SORRY MrGO.. i meant WIKIPEDIA.
ET prolly has a sms template that starts with "Hahaha" that is reserved for replying messages from Yangster.
ET and Yangster both need extensive grammar lessons, in addition to seeing a shrink, opposing capital punishment for making bad puns, etc..
WE ARE BETTER OFF STUDYING FOR PROMOS.
but then again, this is a very good way to destress, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STAY REMOTELY SANE, so keep up the good work ET and Yangster! :)i salute you!
now, wouldn't that be a funny sight? me trying to salute myself. :} <- try and grin like this! it's quite funny actually
oh yah my tagboard is being a drama queen. rahh. u need to press on the 'eye' icon to see the msgs, that's why chers thot i cleared the entire thing.

A time to be so small
I just thought i deserved a break.
I'm lost in these tenses Confusing my senses
Tomorrow is taking too long
Can we rise Can we get along all right Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched, but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone and everything starts today
Let's keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now and everything starts today
We're caught in a moment And I won't let it go
And the silence it belongs to you and I
Ultra confusion feigns clarity Scattered delusions excuses destiny It's never exactly how it appears to be Too much for any of us who even try to see
*
I'M HUNGRY
and these words aren't making sense anymore
they just seemed to echo my feelings
and as you can see
i'm in a pretty messed up state of mind.
I WISH I HAD THE POWER TO DECLARE A NATIONAL HOLIDAY
just one day
one day will do
for me to spend it with my loved ones
catch up,
laugh,
grin,
EAT,
have fun,
burn those books.
*
When we all had finally washed ashore It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone and everything starts today
&thank you:sugababes and guster it's time for 2 spoonfuls of my sleep-inducing cough mixture.

Ok this is IT. my last post before 30th sept (actually i cant even guarantee i'll be back immediately before promos because I AM GOING TO SLEEP MY BRAIN OUT AFTER MY LAST PAPER ZZZ or actually i might go macritchie to visit the monkeys and uh communicate with the lizards).
so i'll leave yawl with some entertainment courtesy of the newly founded PoP. and it all started with a sms (as do all great inventions):
me: Heyy i just thot of sth! We're the PoP! Pundits of Pun! :D ET: LOL i'm watching mr bean now. He's beang such a loser! PoP yay! me: Oh man! We're so sPUNky!! PoP can also be Pundits of Pump! X)!! ET: Hahaha oh man you punicious thing! me: Got such a word meh? ET: Hahaha pernicious larh. XD mr bean is hilarious! me: Oh oops my pun radar doesnt detect cheem puns (Shhit, cheemPUNzees! Haha) n woman why arent u mugging? ET: HAHAHA CHEEMPUNZEES! I AM studying...reading heart of darkness while watching mr bean. Super funny. me: Ok I'll leave u to ur puny attempts at mugging, while i tackle my own punishing mugging schedule (or non-schedule). Oh mann we should blog this sms convo!
-- PoP session over and out (ET: Whee! Roger that!) --
Generation PoP Session Report #1..
Outcomes of discussion
PoP Club founded. Not to be confused with Popular Bookstore's POP Club though.
New PoP Club term learnt: cheemPUNzees. -> used to refer to puns made on cheem words. like 'pernicious'.
The hypothesis that ET and Yangster are lunatics is now an established fact.

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

13.9.06 Persistently Funny Person
i feel kinda sad that only elisa seems to think my lizard joke is funny. maybe i should make it easier for people to get..
so, extract from last entry:
Lizards communicate by doing push-ups. ok cool. the next time we go to macR (which is like a trillion years from now :(..) we can all line up on the pontoon and start pumping. maybe the resident monitor lizard will enlighten us as to where is the best spot to sink the unused kayaks in the RJ shed.
oh shhit i just thot of something else. where do the lizards in macR go to have a conference? the macritchie reservoir pumping station. humour me.
actually i thot this is very obvious already but judging by the non-response from pple at the canoe table this morning (WITH THE HEARTENING EXCEPTION OF ELISA TAN SZE HUEI), i have some super lag friends.. HAHA KIDDING KIDDING! (and the 2 kiddings cancel each other out) anyways, i have modified the joke. so presenting..
MACRITCHIE LIZARD JOKE v2.1 Lizards communicate by doing push-ups (or as some would put it, pump). (proven here) So where do the lizards in Macritchie go to have a conference? (a 'conference' is defined as: A meeting/gathering of particular individuals invited to consult with, discuss and/or present information on a particular topic or set of topics in a related field or subject for the purpose of bettering relations and information exchange between the organizations/markets the individuals represent. OR if u're not silly enough to read that whole chunk of words: GOT A LOT OF COMMUNICATION GOING ON LAH!) com'on canoobs! make a guess.. are you not shrieking in hilariousness like ET was doing this morning? NOT YET? ok fine.. let me jog ur memory a little, since we havent been to macritchie in a looooong time.
i <3 ET , she's the only one who gets me.. sobsob.
X)
oh and i went running on the treadmill with a classmate, rachel, today. half an hour only but twas good. an ipod is a must when you want to subject yourself to such a mind-numbing activity :) ohoh and the cleaning aunties were using the gym facilities too! thumbs up! maximum utility, haha! ohohoh and speaking of iPod nanos.. i <3 the new iPod nanos! i like the pink one, and the blue one's not bad too. but WAHLAO CHEAT MY FEELINGS!!! the new nano 4gb is cheaper than my current 2gb! :[
anyone wants to buy a white 2gb iPod nano, still in pristine condition (i'm serious! not a scratch on the screen!)?
or maybe i should just trade it in. hmmm.
more reasons for me to hurl my ass off this chair and into the swivel one in front of my study table so i can commence mugging my ass off again for my 4Bs. ..then when my parents take me on that trip to wheelock place apple store to get my laptop, ;)!

12.9.06 it's been 2 months since...
i was rummaging thru my cupboard when i found a personal organiser from 'the learning lab'. it has like columns for you to fill in ur study goals and stuff for the day, etc, and on sundays, it treats u to random bits of wisdom..
A goldfish's attention span is three seconds. i have the attention span of 600 goldfishes.
Some breeds of pigs have outperformed humans on IQ tests. uhoh.
Lizards communicate by doing push-ups. ok cool. the next time we go to macR (which is like a trillion years from now :(..) we can all line up on the pontoon and start pumping. maybe the resident monitor lizard will enlighten us as to where is the best spot to sink the unused kayaks in the RJ shed.
oh shhit i just thot of something else. where do the lizards in macR go to have a conference? the macritchie reservoir pumping station. humour me.
i want to go for an over-distancing run very badly. if no one goes with me tomorrow, i'll go run on the treadmill again, even tho it has the potential to make me more stupid than i already am (highly undesirable in view of approaching promos).. i maintain that it is MINDNUMBING. and don't people run to get away from whatever they dislike? to try and outrun their troubles? so running on the treadmill kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it? you keep running and running and your displacement is nilch. you're where you've always been after an hour..
BUT I'M DESPERATE

All of my escapes have been exhausted I thought I had a way but then I lost it And my resistance was once much stronger And I know I can't go on like this much longer
When I got tired of running from you I stopped right there to catch my breath There your words they caught my ears You said, "I miss you son. Come home" And my sins, they watched me leave And in my heart I so believed The love you felt for me was mine The love I'd wished for all this time And when the doors were closed I heard no I told you so's I said the words I knew you knew Oh God, Oh God I needed you God all this time I needed you, I needed you

:(
And I so hate consequences And running from you is what my best defense is don't get me wrong, school's fine actually. i'm doing rather ok for econs and lit, not exceptionally well but at least i'm encouraged, and siaurui's helping me with math (THANKS SIAURUI!), and dad's helping me with chinese lit.. but yknow some things in life, you just can't shake them off no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you try to divert your attention from them and focus your energies elsewhere. i'm sort of tired i guess.. and i've forgotten how it is like to breathe easy. and it doesn't help that my nose was stuffed for the past week.
And I feel stuck Watching history repeating Yeah, who am I? Just a kid who knows he's needy
Let me know that You hear me Let me know Your touch Let me know that You love me And let that be enough
Let That be EnoughSwitchfoot

9.9.06 WARNING bad english
hello yes NERD PRIDE! alright!! yayyy! life is exciting in binomial-expressions land!!!! you see exclamation marks everywhere!!! makes u just wanna exclaim, "I FEEL DAMN STUPID!!!!!!!"
HAHA.
anyways I BE PROUD OF MYSELF. and nope i'm not sarcasm-ing. (wahlao my engris damn good). haha. i have been mugging my ass off the swivell chairr as promissed and now i amm goinng bonnkerss thankss to mathh. X)
yesterday i went from knowing nilch about summation and MissionImpossible to being able to complete tutorial ALL BY MYSELF!! OMGGXX. achievement thanks. and i wanted to give up so many times along the way! case in point: i actually did give up after going thru half the lect notes to take a 45 mins nap. but after i woke up i jammed my earphones into my ears and with Relient K yelling at me to just keep "Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressingon, pressing on)" i.. uh.. yes PRESSED ON. :)) i know most people have already completed tut 8 and have since moved on to more enlightened levels of tut 9 & (horrors!) 10 but wth this is MY ACHIEVEMENT from which i derive great joy so don't try to steal it from me! :D and i'm almost halfway thru cha guan notes too! woohoo!
i think the sky is gonna fall soon if studying can get me so high. or maybe it's just having a staring contest with binomial expressions lect notes. :) all those exclamation marks!!!!!
ohoh i'm gonna reorganise the songs in my nano into diff playlists for diff subjects. so for example: Math, Chinese Lit and Econs will contain Relient K songs and Nelly Furtado's Say it Right because "[stubborn math questions] don't mean nothing at all to me" :D E Lit will contain emo love songs like The Perishers' Trouble Sleeping, Michael Learns to Rock's 25 Minutes, Aqualung's Strange and Beautiful, Matchbox Twenty's Disease andand this is specially reserved for Antony and Cleopatra: Nelly Furtado's Maneater.
LOL i must be the first in all of iTunes history to have a subject specific playlist!
&oohlala ET!! to add on to our tirade on how no one digs us cos we're such pun-y greats so no one dares attempt to unearth our bodies (i hope u get this one! :D):
And I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

Dear god, surround me as I speak, The bridges that I walk across are weak Frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear Dear god, don't let me fall apart, You've held me close to you I have turned away and searched for answers I cant understand
They say that I can move the mountains And send them falling to the sea They say that I can walk on water If I would follow and believe With faith like a child
Faith like a ChildJars of Clay
I-I've gotta get outta here I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I-I've gotta get outta here And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape
I've fought You for so long I should've let You in oh how we regret those things we do And all I was trying to do was Save my own skin *oh* But so were You So were You...
Be my EscapeRelient K

sheesh yknow what? i'll lift the hiatus. i think it's some kind of reverse psychology, the more i tell myself i cant blog i shouldn't go online yadayada the more i want to.
where has my self restraint gone? into the dustbin with that piece of tissue i just blew my nose on.
i dunno what's changed. i couldn't be bothered to blog even if my mental health depended on it but since july this yr i've been blogging at like X times the previous frequency. hello? 50 posts in 2 months? when i took like 2 yrs to reach a hundred? 0.O
anyways.. i was just having some random thots:
u cant trust most people in rj. why? this is what i overheard, "OH I HAVENT ACTUALLY STARTED STUDYING.." YAH RIGHT. who're u trying to kid? with like nearly 2 weeks left to promos u really expect people to believe that? 9_9 some kinda genius u must be then.
IKEA catalogs are nice to read. their adverts have always been wordy but somehow they always make me smile. and i love looking at all the ikea children furniture, so nice and colourful. and omg MUDDY DO U KNOW THE SOFT TOYS ARE GOING AT 90CENTS PER PIECE?? and they're super uber cute too! time for an IKEA trip.. after promos. :\
coughing keeps ur abs toned.
ok i had more random thots but nah i cant be bothered to recall them.
wait. it's working!! i'm starting to find blogging troublesome again! YAYYY!! see i know myself best ;)
and all it took was one entry! lmao.
ah but we'll see what happens in 24 hours.
ohoh and i did something really stupid today. i took a nap in the afternoon and when i went to the toilet to washup, my heart was pounding like crazy. i was wondering what on earth was wrong with me when i realised it was because I FORGOT TO BREATHE. X) it's like i know i cant breathe thru my stuffed nose so i should be breathing thru my mouth but i forgot to open my mouth to breath. uhm.. did that make sense. nvm. elisa prolly understands. she's like the only one who understands my random ramblings. I MISS YOU ET! :):) and I MISS JAVA AND AMANDA AND VAN AND JO AND AIYA EVERYONE.
i hate being sick. i feel awfully faint and weak and it sucks awfully bad that i cant do anything about it like exercise and RUN. i wanna run! i wanna SWIM. omg i miss swimming.
oh crap i'm such a whiny piece of lard. bleargh.
forgive :)

5.9.06 hang on LITTLE TOMAYTO! :)
HAPPY 17th MY DARLING CHERYL SIM!! <3!
ok i realise i'm on a temporary hiatus butbut i cant resist posting this up as a way of encouraging everyone (ESPECIALLY MYSELF) to mug hard for promos! :)
The sun has left and forgotten me It's dark, I cannot see Why does this rain pour down I'm gonna drown In a sea Of deep confusion
Somebody told me, I don't know who Whenever you are sad and blue And you're feelin' all alone and left behind Just take a look inside and you will find
You gotta hold on, hold on through the night Hang on, things will be all right Even when it's dark And not a bit of sparkling Sing-song sunshine from above Spreading rays of sunny love
Just hang on, hang on to the vine Stay on, soon you'll be divine If you start to cry, look up to the sky Something's coming up ahead To turn your tears to dew instead
And so I hold on to his advice When change is hard and not so nice You listen to your heart the whole night through Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you
Hang on Little Tomato Pink Martini
:):)
on an sadder note, steve irwin the "crocodile hunter" died yesterday. i cant say i feel a great sense of loss or anything, since i dint grow up watching his shows.. but i gotta say i've got a great deal of respect for this "wildlife warrior" who's been highly passionate about educating the world on the earth's endangered animals his whole life.
"I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message. "
"Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building."
God bless him and his family :)
ok my hiatus is back on.

4.9.06 #150 it's time for a draught
surprisingly i feel loads better today :) must be all the TLC my parents have been showering on me
in fact my dad took a day off work to look after me! omggxx. haha i know i havent said this to you in a looong time, but LOVE YOU DAD! <3!! in the morning i interrupted his work to ask him for a crash course in modern chinese histroy (it's for a chinese lit text that i'm studying) and he obligingly sat down with me.:) it's far more productive than labouring through the notes myself! X) shhit i cant stop smiling. haha then for lunch he cooked me a damn delicious pot of porridge with pork ribs and century egg. :) :) it's so much simpler than the elaborate affairs my mum always cooks up for dinner (since it's the only meal we can all sit down to in a day) but it just tasted soooo good! yum. maybe i should fall sick more often ;)
anyways, i'm here to declare a TEMPORARY HIATUS. i really really need to buckle myself down to my messy study table and mug my way thru the thick stacks of files and notes.. and i shall be armed with my trusty nano which has decided to drop its drama queen act. :)
... because i've realise, in java's words, "oh crap,NOT ENOUGH TIME LIAO." "haha so crass."
yup. check back in a month! :)

shhhit i just thot this is so utterly funny that i need to interrupt your "pity-yang-cos-she's-sick session":
Perfect for The Beautiful People Disaffected college students who became that way by listening to too much Marilyn Manson in junior high A certain one-time peroxide blonde who completely led on the author of this particular Demotivator during his senior year of high school in 1989 The author of this Demotivator, for being so utterly shallow that he let an obnoxious hot chick totally play him for a fool 16 years ago, and would again, if she would JUST CALL ME.... KATIE, IF YOU READ THIS, PICK UP THE PHONE AND DIAL ME. FOR REAL. I CAN'T FORGIVE YOU IF DON'T MAKE THE FIRST STEP. xo, J.B.
Perfect for The loser who wrote Beauty Disaffected college students
ok you can go back to feeling sorry for me now. ohoh more reasons to angst for me: since i'm sick i'm relegated to eating steamed egg and other boring stuff. yayyy!

being sick is no joke
i am damn pissed right now. let me tell you why:
i cant breathe properly because of my stuffed nose
i have a splitting headache because of said stuffed nose
i am feeling feverish because of said splitting headache
my muscles are sore because of said feverish feeling
my throat is sore
i have resorted to grunting like an elisa cavewoman because of said sore throat
i cant eat chocolate stuff to cheer myself up thanks to said sore throat
MY iTunes IS BLOODY ACTING UP ON ME! #&$@!
i cant listen to nice soothing music that i just got because said iTunes is being a drama queen!
i've run out of readable articles in The Economist.
sorry. i know i shouldn't unload here. so excuse me while i go swivel around on my swivel chair and sulk and get a worse headache as a result.
rah!

hoho marvy! i am officially sick! stuffed nose - check sore throat - check check check check check CHECK!
i think it was that evil chilli padi i accidentally swallowed in the rice i bought fr the viriya carnival while we were doing cip.. (whew this is some looong sentence. if i tried saying it now i might suffocate since i cant breathe.) hohum. i even have trouble yawning cos it hurts so bad!
:S
anyways, yesterday's cip was rather lame but fun. haha. we basically rowed around this 20m by 10m boundary and tried to restore lost plastic lillies to their boxes. or when we're bored we turn capsized lillies over. singapore river is superuber dirty. we saw a DEAD AND BLOATED cat, a DEAD AND BLOATED mouse and DEAD AND BLOATED AND SLIPPERY fish! yucks. it stank real bad. ohoh and caveman capped! lol. this is how it happened:
caveman spots DEAD AND BLOATED rat
caveman scoops DEAD AND BLOATED rat up with his paddle (poor rat probably got fiberglassed badly)
caveman shows us DEAD AND BLOATED rat
caveman catapults DEAD AND BLOATED rat
our eyes follow the DEAD AND BLOATED rat on the first flight of its miserable smelly life across the singapore river.
we turn around to look at caveman intending to give him a shocked look...
... OOPS! where's caveman?
... OH he's capped.
lmao.
on a less smelly and dry note, some kids who were participating in the art competition drew us!!! :) :) :)
i think i shall declare a hiatus until promos are over. but i might wanna come here to vent.
we'll see

1.9.06 following through with the promise i made
argh. my respect for certain og-mate/teammate is zilch filch nilch yilch. i mean whatthefish??!! is he some chronic skirt-chaser?
my dear friend, i hope you know what you are doing because i dont. you do realise that you are treading on dangerous grounds? you said you'll be careful. well, that's what she said too. and look at what's happened since.
but it's your life. no one else lives it but you.
i just hope you still care enough about your teammate, about the team dynamics. i don't know what's really going on but it looks to me like the recipe for disaster.
i hope you know what you are doing because i dont.
___
anyways, looks like GE women 10k is no go.
i'm bitterly disappointed but $50 is quite a sum to fork out for a run, eye-opening as it's bound to be.
rahh.
OTOH, the last water trng before our study break was good :) i wish i could've bottle up that ~2hours on water and put it in a prominent place on my desk so that when i'm sick of mugging my brain juices out, i'll just reach for that bottle, pop open the lid and drink in the smell of the rain over macritchie, slap on some of that sweat, slurpee and rain to wake myself up..
i'm really in love with Gideon Jnr now. it's damn easy to control. i can do a quick and smooth turn around the 1k mark in it by just transferring minimal weight to my right hip.
but no worries, Gideon, you still have a special place in my heart. as the one who battled through numerous.. ok more like a couple of stormy trainings with me, various (time) trials and tribulations.. :)
sounds like i'm saying goodbye.
maybe i am. maybe i'll let Gideon up to some future junior. may he continue to have great adventures. :)
GOODBYE and GODSPEED.
You were there for summer dreamin', And you are a friend indeed. And I know you'll find your freedom, Eventually, for eternity, for eternity.
so it's time to take a break from training and delve into those notes
it's time to rein my heart in
it's time to be the responsible person i'm expected to be
but i'm making sure that my fitness stays in a condition that will allow me to pick up where i left off in one month's time without much hassle. have i mentioned? i've been keeping a training log.
i've even brought my paddle home so i can practice strokes.
so you(i'll give you a clue, i'm not talking about my mother here) can stop showing me so little faith. i can sense what you think of me and i am going to prove you damn wrong.
just watch.
damnit.
don't
try

bring
me
down.

Untitled: Made this myself, with help from lj.com/fd, which in my humble opinion, remains forever awesome (again, my economics lecturer withers right down to his vegetarian roots). Oh and brushes <3.
YAYyYyYyY!!!! i'm back!!
economics is a rather vulgar subject. first , we learn that price elasticity of demand is determined by SHIT, then we learn that when answering data response questions, you need to be RUDE:
went to study in school today, not bad, at least i managed to clear up some math probs with mrteoh and siauxi&siaurui's help. :) and i wanna employ jo as my private econs tutor!! pretty please?? :P
i was telling ray that i think it's weird i'm not feeling any stress at all. usually one week before any major exams i'd be so high-strung i would snap at my mum when she asks more questions than i wanted to answer (and feel horrigible, terrigible, like a vegetable afterwards SORRY MRSO_DEN!) and all the time, when i'm studying or whatever, there would be this "white noise" in the back of my mind like the static u hear on radio.. and it just made me grouchier than ever. heck, in the last month or so i was under so much pressure that i used to wake up and find my jaws clenched tightly..
not to mention PICTURES OF MY FRIENDS DOING WEIRD STUFF THAT I CAN SO TOTALLY USE FOR BLACKMAILING IN THE FUTURE haha like this one of elisa trying to find out if the pair of blue shorts she liked in royal sporting hse was her size by measuring it against her neck (as suggested by a very insistent jave).
OMGGXX. i never thot i'll say this ever again, but MATH IS FUNNNNN!!!
HAPPY SEVENTEENTH VANDEPOOT! <3
i was rummaging thru my cupboard when i found a personal organiser from 'the learning lab'. it has like columns for you to fill in ur study goals and stuff for the day, etc, and on sundays, it treats u to random bits of wisdom..
cheryl's letter is <3!
:( 
:)
hello yes NERD PRIDE! alright!! yayyy! life is exciting in binomial-expressions land!!!! you see exclamation marks everywhere!!! makes u just wanna exclaim, "I FEEL DAMN STUPID!!!!!!!"
sheesh yknow what? i'll lift the hiatus. i think it's some kind of reverse psychology, the more i tell myself i cant blog i shouldn't go online yadayada the more i want to.
