Blargh
Blargh. Some advertisements. They’re painfully annoying. Anyone know how to get rid of 'em? *stabstab*

Anway, HIGHLIGHT! Dingding! To think my life is interesting for once.

Last friday, the Swim Shady came to our school. Okay, that was lame. the Swim team for Singapore. Happy? Haha. Mark Chay (!), Gary Tan, Kenneth Goh (methinks) and a few ... other... people. Sorry. Don’t follow sports. Haha. They were playing music. Yes! Band. For charity! They even have a CD. Haha. They’re not bad. Gotta love amplifiers, guitars and drum sets no more than 3 metres away. BLAST! BLAST! sound. Yay. Bought abovementioned CD for $12 for fun. Have their signatures! Weee. I feel special. And so does half the school population. *huff*

Was having a physics mock that day too. Why oh why did they pick such a day to come? Couldn’t concentrate. Didn’t flunk, but just passed it. Heard that Dawn’s brother got to meet Ronald Susilo! Haha. Dawn’s brother is in ACS Primary badminton team. Lucky guy. Heh.

Prelims in two weeks! What I am doing? Supposed to be typing up a testimonial (for myself! What are the teachers thinking?!), but obviously not concentrating on my task. Haha. *innocent grin* Oh well.

Enough crap-spewing! Ciao.

It appears I have been attacked by some meaningless advertisements on my site. Oh well, just ignore them. I’m too lazy to delete the comments.

Anyway, I’m sick. BLAHAHAHA. Oh well. Have FOUR mock exams next week! I am in a major slackmode, you know. That’s quite bad.

Just to say, I’m alive! I think I should post up the stupid descriptive essay I wrote for English. I haven’t got it back yet so I don’t know how crappy it is, exactly. Haha.

"And I don’t know you anymore
I don’t recognise this place
The picture frame has changed
And so has your name."

Blah. Doing some crap English descriptive shit essay. Woohee. Trying to do a good job. Attempting and failing. Oh bloody well.

Got an A2 for chinese with a distinction in oral. Am retaking. I don’t know. I’ve thought a lot about it and I don’t think I have anything to lose. No harm trying for an A1.

My life is in a mess! So many deadlines to meet, so many tests to study for. I’m going crazy, and so is the whole of the sec 4, I think.

Had a wonderful Farewell last Saturday! Thanks to all the wonderful wonderful people who made it possible!!

National Day
I should blog something here. It’s National Day after all. I didn’t catch it on TV, no. Why? No reason. A rebel streak in me, I guess. I did catch the Prime Minister’s Speech though, his last. So you can’t say I’m not patriotic enough, can you? Ha.

All Parades are the same. Every year, it’s the same fireworks, the same march past, just some flicks of the switch with the mass displays, colours and designs. Something I could do without. Gosh, yes, the atmosphere is there, but not at home. I went to the National Day Parade... once or twice. Or thrice. I can’t really remember. It was awesome though, especially the fireworks. But then again, I watched it all in childish amazement and curiosity. Oh no, I’m not trying to act all worldy, but I must say, such things have ceased to amuse me.

It’s sad. I should try to find these little hidden pockets of happiness in my life, but all what I’m doing now is nowhere near it. Am I stressing myself too much? I feel this pressure pressing against me. I know it’s silly and stupid. I’m just worrying too much. Oddly enough, I’m not worried about my Prelims or O Levels quite yet. On the contrary, I’m worried about the tests we’re having this week, and the next. I’ve been trying desperately to keep to the schedule I make for myself each day, but it’s so hard. I keep wondering how people do it - or fail to, at all. I won’t mention names, but some people - so close in my vicinity - make me afraid for myself. It’s as if I’m not trying hard enough (isn’t me being online evident enough?). Well, maybe I am not. But when I’m studying, or trying to, I keep on feeling that I’ve done so much, yet another part of me wonders if it’s just a matter of perspective?

Ahh, I’ll stop rattling on. All this crap is just so affected. Hmm.

I’m going to the Ang Mo Kio Community Library tomorrow for the 1 hour CIP training course. Hope it’s... interesting. I daren’t say “fun”. It’s all subjective anyway. But I hoipe it’s... enjoyable. Yes. Might be back-breaking or brain-numbing, but it might be fun. Wee.

You know, I think I go to the library way too often. >< I should stop. Borrowing. Argh. I’ll just finish Arthur C. Clarke’s Odyssey series... (have 2061 and 3001 left!) and then... heh. I shan’t say any more. I hate breaking promises. Especially those I make to myself.

Again?
Well, I’m online again, but this time, I’m doing it legitimately! Yay! Haha. See, tomorrow is like a SLACK DAY because my school’s celebrating Racial Harmony Day, so we only have lessons half the day. And I’m supposed to be the “audience” for some book launch (??) thing and it appears we have to walk around the whole school doing god-knows-what. Then Friday is HALFDAY!!!!!!! Then we have Saturday and Sunday and Monday and Tuesday... OFFFFFFFF! YES! Haha. I love this year’s National Day, which is a Monday. Weeee.

Yes. Today we had English Paper II Mock. Urgh. I think I won’t do well in it. Yeah yeah, “but you’re good in English what”. But I almost couldn’t FINISH. And I didn’t understand the summary question. And some questions in the comprehension. And I couldn’t use my own words for some of the stupid workd! And my vocabulary is in shambles. *frets*

Physics was. Hmm. I couldn’t do it. I didn’t study yesterday. Went home with a bit of a headache because of the two and a half hour E Maths Paper II Mock, then decided to sleep till 10pm then wake up to study. I was convinced I couldn’t sleep all the way to 5.

But apparently I did.

*thonk* That was 9 hours of sleep. I did wake up refreshed, but I still had a bit of a headache, WHICH DEFEATS THE PURPOSE. Gahhh.

Dawn and I signed up to do library community suervice at Ang Mo Kio Library. URGH! How immensely irritating. The slots are for tomorrow, next Tuesday and next Thursday. Can’t go tomorrow because they said three days notice (and they only sent it today...), can’t make it on Thursday because we have our O Level English Oral *fear*. But we put our dates to do CIP as between this Saturday and next Saturday, but I just received word that our choir Sec 4 Farewell is next Saturday! I was supposed to go watch this horror show staged supported by some church or whatnot with my friends, but I can’t go because of my farewell - which I really want to turn up for. Argh, long sentences. I don’t care. But I also really want to go to that show. It seems really really interesting.

Ahh, I’ll stop rambling. The email I sent in reply to the assistant manager of the library is so stiff and formal I laughed at it. Heehee.

Ooyay
Blah. One big slacker, coming right up. I’m supposed to be studying! But noooo, I’m not.

Anyway to Alicia: Haha, I brought my digimon to school today, I felt so childish and embarassed I hid it in my pocket the whole time. Oh well. ^^ It’s not a pendulum... it’s a digimon 4, dating from the end of 1998. Yes, old old old. I feel old.

I’m trying to find websites about the Digimon I own... the cyberpet, yes? Not the goddamn TV series which is all google will ever turm up, and all those PS games. ARGH! GIVEMEWHATIWANTNOW before I throw my Physics textbook at you! BE CRUSHED BY 4.1 X 10^999 N!!!!

Okay. I’m going a little crazy. Yes. I should be off to study now, and I don’t want to fail my A Maths or Social Studies.

Talking about tests, Lit Mock today SUCKED to high hell. One, because I didn’t study. Two, because I didn’t intend to study and am imposing a self-drop on the subject. Three, I just hate literature. Weeeee.

Hiatus
Okay. I know I haven’t posted for a long time! Apologies. To give you guys a treat, I’ve remodeled. Haha. Yumyum.

Anyway, I’m in Sec 4 now, that’s the last year of secondary school, and I’m taking my GCE ‘O’ Levels at the end of the year and SO. *takes a deep breath* I don’t really have much time on my hands right now, or at least, as much time as I would like to have.

That’s right. That means I’m on a temporary (prolonged?) hiatus. Until the end of the year, perhaps, then I’ll remodel for all of j00 nice people. ^^

Basically what’s going on in my life right now is that it’s too hectic to think. We’ve just stepped down from our CCAs and stuff, so we’re rather “free” now, as in, we don’t have much commitments (sp?) anymore. However, that was done to facilitate our STUDYING, which I have been trying really hard to do.

I don’t know if I’m happy with myself, but I guess I’ve sort of am on the way to reaching my goal. However I am not completing my day-to-day targets, and the’re really stressing me out. Furthermore, this decision to come online today was rather spur of the moment. I’m actually supposed to be revising A Maths now. Argh. I have permutations and combinations.

On a lighter note (!), I revived my Digimon! Haha. I know, I know, it’s the Tamagotchi craze now, isn’t it? But I can’t be bothered to buy one (yeah right), so I’m reviving my old cyber pets instead. Ahhh, cheapskate. XD

Okay, until next time. I hope this entry satisfies j00000 all. Nice people. Don’t bite! *runs away from crazy people*
