bought a lollipop from ntuc today, the giant type about the size of my palm. went around licking it in an attemp to finish it in one day. cannot lah, it's damn big. got up to the point where my tongue started to bleed. when my cousin saw it she thought it was the dye from the lolly itself because my whole touge was red. ouch. it's a good thing i rather like the taste of blood. so had a hard time trying to eat dinner, especially the curry.
lesson learned today: never eat curry when your tongue is bleeding. or put curry on any open wound for that matter.

am blogging on my sister's lap top. yes, my home computer's down, (again!) but at least i'm not one of those who're dependent on the com, sure i can live without it. gets a bit piss-offing at some times but is ok.
as you have gathered, my sister's home, yay! she only comes back about once a year, think my parents so rich is it? can send her back and forth? she hasn't changed very much, of which i am happy to say. she does weird things sometimes though, like sticking her hand out the window before going out, to check the temperature because she's so used to having to do things like that in london. there sure is odd weather over there.
yay! have just watched return of the king! actually was supposed to see it with eldred but he went for the freaking GALA PREMIER so i brought my sister instead. damn, the movie is good! the trilogy is something everyone should watch at least once. am going to borrow eldred's FotR and TT when he gets them back. anyone up for a marathon? have to say though, i am very sad it's all over. an epic adventure to end all adventures has been made by the genius who goes by the name of peter jackson. somebody, give this guy an oscar!
i've had so many things to blog down, especially since with the crazy computer that's gone down (again!). but i can't seem to remember it all now. oh yes, nearly forgot to mention. steph came up with the brilliant idea of doing CIP hours this month for next year, so that we don't have to squeze them in during our practicals. so now i'm rushing through 36 hours of kettling down at orchard mrt. if you don't know what that is, it's the salvation army ringing bell thing. can get damn boring after 2, maybe 3 hours or so but it's rather fun people watching lah, it's a good spot for it after all. there're also the random few people one of us know who stop by (well duh, it's orchard mrt after all...) who want to ring the bell and just talk to us for a few minutes. i reckon we see someone we know or an ij girl and average of every hour or so.
oh yes. was supposed to say something about clay aiken's album? got it when mum got her david tao cd. he (aiken, not tao) can sing fantastically well. but he has really odd songwriters. i don't know why they don't want to write something that can show the extent of his talent, i mean how far can ballads go? by the way, he's working with the same people who work with westlife...
am having a very bad sore throat. couldn't sing for carolling today, sometimes had to switch down to the alto part (the bits that i know lah, in any case) because got a lot of notes i cannot reach. so it's a good thing i'm standing at the extreme side of my section, right next to an alto. for the past couple of days people can only hear 3 words out of a sentence that i say, it's that bad. on the phone it's worse. and erm, i seem to have passed it on to my sister. opps.
on a more serious note, everyone please pray for amelia's mother, who passed away recently. let us hope that she may find peace. you know, i once read somewhere that there's this legend about death. death is a person so heartbreakingly beautiful that once you see death, you fall in love so hard that your soul is pulled out through your eyes. that's an interesting way to go, to say the least.

Travelling in London is like a game of russian roulette. You never know what you're in for when you step out the door. You might die on the subway, get your pocket picked, or meet a famous person. Drunk and homeless people assault you with their fragrant personality, very tall black models puff on suspicious smelling sticks, rats run up your leg.
Maybe I am speaking as a Sanitized Singaporean, but sometimes, I just wanna be home.
One encounter of note:
'Happy Belated birthday!'
*nods dumbly*
'Could you make this out to Victoria?'
'How do you spell that?'
' I wasn't aware there was an alternative way to spell Victoria'
'You'd be surprised, the Jennifers spelt J-E-N-I-F-F-E-R, the Daves spelt D-A-E-V, the Amys with an E..'
'I suppose it takes all sorts...'
'Yes... where are you from?'
'Singapore, you were meant to be there but didn't go?'
'Yes, Dave McKean and I had an important meeting for MirrorMask.. but I really want to go there... I hear the food is amazing'
'Yes! My sister was so disappointed'
'I'll be sure to go when I have a chance'
*hands my endless nights back*
'Thank you!'
Now that kinda makes it all worth it.

couldn't go for band today. was too painful, as woke up with period cramps. yarh, the cramps actually woke me up a couple of times during the night/morning. got up to get warm drink and that funky herbal pillow that you microwave and can stay hot for hours but couldn't find it. gave up and wet a towel with warm water and put it in a plastic bag then went to sleep again, hugging that.
when i got up, i realised that the stupid forfeit i had to do yesterday at choir camp (write 'christus laudatur voce' with my arse) really took a toll on my thigh muscles, now they ache. it feels like i ran 2.4km without warming up. when i walk or climb the stairs i've got to re-distribute my weight between both feet so now am looking as if i'm a bit drunk 'cos it results in a rather unsteady gait.
the camp itself was fun though. had good company, nice house (except for the mosquitoes) and great food. kudos to stephanie's mum, auntie maria, who cooked food for us. her spiced ribs brought the house down!
wish i could stay for the whole thing, but either way couldn't have because of cramps and band. really wanted to go for band today too but that's a bit difficult since i couldn't come down the stairs properly in the morning.
ok, have to go now. yay! my sister's coming back next week :)

darn it. just called my choir mistress, trying to get out of this week's choir camp. she didn't let me, saying that gerard might be able to fetch me home on sunday. ack, hate it when pple do stuff for me, feel like i'm inconveniencing them. which is why i'm not asking denise to give me a lift, her dad is really nice.
truth be told, i don't like going for things just half-way. if i go for the camp i want to go for the whole thing, not leave on the night of the first day and come back at dusk on the second. what's the point, if im going to be missing half the thing anyway. there're obviously going to be things done on the day that i missed and, how do it put it... i'll be out of sync with everyone else. i'll start feeling like i'm part of an interactive audience or something. get my drift?
don't get me wrong, am really wanting to go for this camp. there's going to be praise and worship and everything. but i'd rather not travel back and forth from sembawang and thompson/bishan or worse, have someone do it for me.
urgh. how did i get myself into this... and so sorry for sounding american, was watching tv before this.

hah. ok, shd have a few good hours on the com. and tor, eldred said he never got anything from you.
so. camp was really funky. everyday we'd end at abt, roughly 12 in the morning and by the time we were finished with supper , washing up and whatnot it would be abt 1 something so everyone would get an average of 9 hours of sleep for both nights togther. but that's for the pple who actually slept at all lah... heard abt alot of strange things going on in the other dorms... spin the bottle and all. which dorm? if you're familiar with the pple in my church then you shd know.
was hanging out with either my group members or kat and ara (both pple who were in the same dorm as i was in) at any given time. they're all pretty decnt pple, except for ara and kat who stole my towel while i was bathing. screamed at the same time a facil was nearby so they had to give it back. when asked why i screamed they responded by saying that the water was cold. sheesh.
if i ate like how i did during the camp, i'd be hell a lot fatter than i am now. 3 square meals a day, plus supper. boxes of oreos were present all the time, unlimited supply of milo and the occasional bag of chips. oh yes, and nutella that saved me because i badly needed a sugar high. i mean, the meals were so healthy.
had mass on the last day. was surprised that my parents turned up. thought only my godma would 'cos my parents are so blur, i had to call my dad the previous day to tell him that there was mass at all. it was pretty cool, especially since it was on a sunday. was sorry i had to have lunch them though, there was funky stuff happening at my group table...
ok, aside from all that, i really learnt a lot. about myself, my faith and my parents. it may sound cliche (but hey, look on the bright side, they sorta become cliches because they're true...) but somehow after the camp i was feeling maybe a little closer to God.
and that was last week. the most recent weekend was my confirmation itself. the rehersal was on saturday so had to miss half of band because of it. but i think mebe it was mainly because of the recruitment drive. sang in a small group to promote choir. and screwed it up. oh well. and not forgetting elizabeth who baked brownies for everyone as christmas presents. she's unbalanced larh.
bought a dress, shawl and did a manicure for my confirmation itself. manicure being a colour french (black). i really like it but is now odd to eat with fingers. anyway, was sitting at the back of the church and everytime i turned around, it seemed as if there was another ij girl strolling in. i say, we don't need a chapel, we'll just use risen christ.
been preparing for sunday for all my cathecism life. now it's all over and i feel just weird. it's like i've become the church equivelent of an adult. im going to miss class and of course my cathecists, especially lester and lai probably 'cos they've been the closest to my own age compared to all the other cathecists. easier to connect and all that.
honestly, i've never given much thought to cat classes. but now am feeling grateful, for all those lessons concerning my faith, the classes on saturday afternoons that became such a chore to attend but now when i look back, rather enjoyable really. they were an integral part of my life.
enough reminiscing. am going to change skin, am tired of this one.

wheeeeee!!! my com has been fixed!! the thing kind of died while i was away for con camp. my parents told me that my mum had overloaded the washing machine so there was a blackout. next thing they knew, the cpu couldn't be switched on.
have a lot of stuff to say.
already mentioned, confirmation camp. met some really nice pple there, the type you don't want to lose contact with. adrian, amelia, angelina (two of 'em), daphne, elizabeth, ester, gabriel, kenneth, matthew, sean and vanessa. typically known as the st paulians as our group was (duh?!) st paul. we had the best time there, and i want to go back!! learnt many things abt myself, did a lot of reflecting and bonding. though one thing i hated was that there was no starbucks nearby. nearest one was at compassvale mall, 10 min drive away. our facillitators were (and still are, actually) really nice. they got stuff for us from 7-11. man i had the best time.
ah crap. need to make long entry abt week but need to wake up for band tmr. at this rate, i'll get mebe abt 5 hrs of sleep. will have to make post tmr as don't need to get up on tues.

am freaking out right now. haven't the foggiest idea what i want to do in the future. at least steph has her whole lawyer thing and all that, even knows what jc and stuff she wants to take, so i rather envy her on that bit.
people always say do what you think you'll be happy doing, what you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life. the problem is, i don't think i'm good at anything. i did used to think perhaps geography, but i was wrong. i suck at that, even. i can't draw, write, act, debate or even play an instrument properly. oh shut up, the sax doesn't count, i suck at that too. i did though, once really enjoy this class we had in sec 1 and 2, design and technology. was rather good at it too. pity my school doesn't offer it o level. perhaps i should have gone out of school to persue it instead, is it too late for my aspiration as a carpenter(ress)?
hang on, i'm cheering up now. i'm going to go into spa therapy which is something i like and am remotely good at. my cousin makes me massage her everytime i see her and apparently says that it's as good as the funky thai massage she went for the other time.
ok. am quite cheered up now. typing to myself on a blog can be very theraputic you know. and oi tor, when are you going to next call? mum's been bothering me with her paranoia.
and another thing. in response to denise's post, i might be taking off the links to the other blogs. i don't see a point, practically everyone who comes here already has those addresses or aren't interested in them. it's the whole blog network thing, if you get what i mean.
have to go have dinner now, am having claypot rice. and speaking of clay, i need to make an entry about that clay aiken album that's just come out. another time then.

rosie and chan came over today to make good use of the 6 disc set from studio ghibli that i've got on loan. saw mononoke, some racoon thing i don't know the title of and totoro! aargh, that was one hell of a cute movie! i recommend that everyone watch it. why can't disney produce stuff like this?
am getting results tmr. so scared, im numb. am confused as to why they always moderate english but not chinese... and have done much better for end year as compared to mid year. so obviously that's going to pull me down, ack! also have to go to school earlier 'cos gail siow (i can't for the life of me remember how to spell her surname) wants to go through the answers for social studies with us, which is nuts 'cos no one's gonna want to come early.
tor, stop with the friendster thing, i think it hates me. i can't get in, said something about cookies. oh well.
ok. have to go draw up giant planner to stick on wall because of my horrible holidays plans. need to have parents know what time i come home and all that, ack.

had the best time yesterday. went to watch underworld with eldred (shut up about the whole premier thing you had, rachael) and, i don't know what to think of that movie. i'd say that it was a good movie but they ripped off so many things from other places, you wouldn't believe. got the whole retractable blade thing from spawn, the blade itself had some blade II thing going on, blue vampire eyes from interview, moves from the matrix and one character even resembled x-men's nightcrawler (shut up chan, i can hear you from here). but hey, i still say watch it anyway and go form your own opinions.
after that went to this nice comics shop behind kino (the one at bugis).
boy am i suckered. now i know how you felt when you saw that sandman globe the other time tor. saw so much great stuff, that were, needless to say, horribly expensive. $350 for a pewter set of the Endless, $79.90 for a small arabian nights thing (not sure what it was made of, some kind of metal..?) of Morpheus doing the whole putting the ball of monsters thing into his robe, $30 for Nightmare before Christmas playing cards, $25 for the Sandman 2004 calender...
oh boy am i suckered.
also feeling very weird 'cos i haven't got anymore studying to do. spending my days on the com and reading (am starting on terry goodkind and trying to get into anne mccafrey. i like dragons, but rather enjoyed her whole arcona thing). so now am very relaxed.
by the way, if anyone hears me curse and it doesn't sound english, it's most likely a triple decker russian insult.
good night.

It was so below 100 words. And I have been doing yoga for one year already! (shoulder stand triangle half moon and also good at breathing exercises) Can't stand on my head or suck my toes yet (actually i can but not very elegantly).
Ghibli.
Thanks for Bday card! Am going for swing dance lesson in hours time so just blogging for no particular reason. Should be researching law firms to apply to but they all actually do the same boring thing. Did you get my email? Was on wales and other places visited. Here is extract in case you didn't get it:
Waterfalls and beaches. Wales is like Lord of the Rings country, and I don't mean the movie... it's laden with celtic history, and the fields really are of gold. I even saw an Underhill cottage! (Underhill being one of the surnames of characters in LOTR).
Sardinia was a mediterranean dream, the scrubby, rugged landscape is deceptively even, but drops to sheer high cliffs as you round turns on narrow mountain roads. (We were in a Ford Fiesta, thank god for 4 wheel drive.) The views were amazing, and the beaches... pristine and isolated. We ate loads of seafood, lobster, clam and scallops. And I scuba dived for the first time! Was a bit scarey especially when you look up and see lots of blue water on top of you.
Ok good luck for exams and drink lots of water!!

(We were in a Ford Fiesta, thank god for 4 wheel drive.) The views were amazing, and the beaches... pristine and isolated. We ate loads of seafood, lobster, clam and scallops. And I scuba dived for the first time! Was a bit scarey especially when you look up and see lots of blue water on top of you.
Ok good luck for exams and drink lots of water!!

to tor: what's having a sister got to do with describing yourself? and if you can't draw patterns like death then you probably wouldn't like cosplay. and since when did you like yoga? and i think that was more than 100.
ok. have not blogged for close to a month already. in middle of exams now and have just finished maths and lit paper on friday. only way to describe maths is screwed. on a lighter note, my lit was better than i expected it to be. it was good, in fact. also had a very good physics paper though i can't say the same for eveything else.
was talking to eldred last night. he was nice enough to lend me Gaiman's endless nights and am feeling v. happy now. would have read yours tor, if you hadn't sounded so reluctant at the thought of bringing it over. so now you don't have to. he's also lending me his studio gibli (i dunno how to spell it but it certainly sounds something like that) collection and so am going to watch mononoke in english (finally!!) and am getting around to watching totoro as well, hah!
for some very strange reason i cannot fanthom, as i stepped out of the shower yesterday, i suddenly recalled the name of the main character from Tim Burton's nightmare before christmas: Jack. and i realise i don't know anyone of the name jack, even if it's a rather common name, come to think of it.
sorry, that was just random stuff.
you know one of those warm, lazy afternoons when you don't really feel like doing anything at all, but you know you must because there's an exam 2 days away? well, i feel like that now.

I have no instincts. In fact, I am a large placid creature who likes to sit in a pool of warm water and coagulate. My rock-like physical reactions to proximate balls and people in a sporting context means painful injuries. My happiness is a warm bolster. My bolster is a footrest, a pillow, an eyeshade, a weapon and a placemat, all at once. It is not everything. It is everything important. I like to write and think. I like yoga and scrabble. My toes smell like boiled peanuts. I wear brown eyeliner but lack the courage to draw patterns round my eyes like death. And I have a sister.
About Me-- In 100 words or less. This is Tor.

got a few things to say. first, may we please have a moment of silence for those who perished in the september 11th attacks.
ok. on a lighter note, my sister's blog has screwed itself up. not sure what happened but she can't post and i can't even get in. so she came up with the hair-brained (is that how you spell it?) idea of sharing mine. i barely post once a week and she doesn't post all that regularly either (when she had hers, that is) so i was thinking, why not? let's put this blog to good use man. might change the address though, to something more relevent to both of us.

am writing this in bed with fountain pen (why fountain pen? because i can.) in full scap. can't seem to find time time to go online anymore and when i do, my mind's a blank and i can't seem to remember what i wanted to say in the first place.
anyway, lost my handphone on saturday, last week (for douglas adam's 'hitchhiker' fans, 'i think you ought to know, i'm feeling very depressed.'-marvin). so now everything's gone. contacts, radio stations, everything in my archives, my profiles (including the froody harry potter ring tone) and even the cute finding nemo thing i recorded with steph. all the things i've been putting into my phone for nearly a year now.
being irresponsible me, i left it on the taxi when i was getting out, going from just outside my house to the bishan mrt 'cos the damned bus wasn't coming and i was running late.
the worst part - my mum got me a new handphone yesterday.

hello again. have not blogged for how long? nearly a month, i think. been very busy with syf, school and all.
speaking of syf, for those of you who don't know- band got silver. don't know the score yet but feeling quite like crap already, why? everyone else got gold or won the championships, choir, eldds, netball (of course!) and debate. don't know the outcome of dance yet but hey, we are talking abt ple like donn and kristy in it... for them not to get gold would be a scandal. on the bright side, we did get a treat of pizza from mr chan, which is very hard to come by.
so as you can see, life isn't going awfully well for me. especially when i saw my least favourite person during choir yesterday. seems that he's graduating soon, or has already but i hear that he's staying in the highlands for good. then he says he's coming back in september for a short while. by the gods, he does turn up when i least expect. actually, i'm seriously considering leaving choir. not because of him you nuts, don't really care much abt him. more abt the politics flying around, i suppose. i'm not being affected by any, which is a good thing, but why can't we all just, get along? after all, we only see each other about once a week most of the time. also considering joining cyf but... i think uprooting myself and transfering to another parish would be a better thing to do. over here it's very stagnant, every week i go for cat class then for choir. the only time i have fun is during christmas, if that can be classified as fun. i get so busy with the regular practises during nov-dec that i hardly have time for anything else. which sucks because then i can't go on holiday or for gaming and things like that.
should talk about more cheerful things, more thereputic (is that how you spell it?). my dad got a dvd player from my grandmother for his birthday. my godfather didn't know it was suppose to be a suprise and called up to ask him what model his current vcd player is. ho ho! got quite a laugh on that one, my father obviously states that he doesn't need a dvd player but my grandma gets it anyway. not only can it play dvds and vcds, it can also has a function for radio, which my father doesn't use. in fact, he hasn't touched the thing at all. well, no matter. when dvds take over, he'll be thankful. am going to ask eldred to loan me a few of his dvds he's recommending ie, princess mononoke and such like.
cheerful things. was talking to adrian after mass yesterday and he mentioned that he didn't notice i have braces and asked me if they were new. they have, in fact, been here for over a year. oh well, he says mebe it's because he doesn't see me smile much. i say that's because there hasn't been much to smile about these days. there was ipw (i must have lost 3 years of my life on that near disaster) and the carnival (there went another 3 years) and also the fact that i've lost half the blog addresses i've collected (if you think you're one of then, which you most likely are, then do me a fav and post it on my tagboard, thanks). there're a host of other things as well (do you know that they're not including the scourging of the shire in the RotK?) but there are some things i'd rather remain not published.
went down to games workshop yesterday. a big game was going on, not sure what but it was a three table affair. which means there were many pple gaming so i couldn't see what the hell was going on. am not planning to go into tabletop, think i can shit gold is it? and it seems rather violent. the other time i went, one of the first things i heard was, 'take his head off! take his head off!' which i admit, sounds fun but if the whole game is like that then i don't think it's my cup of tea. jenny and steph are quite into it and have been using the shop's pieces. i say good for them, everyone needs something to get into.
have had lots of other things to say but can't remember it all now. will be swamped with CAs next week but might post if find time. jen's going off to obs, lucky her! ok, will go now, haven't been blog reading for weeks.

*shrugs*. like i said. am clearing out.
ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Star Wars Character : THE EMPEROR
The Emperor has demonstrated his liking to inflict pain on people just
people born under the sign of Aries often do. He feels he is at the centre
of the universe and he must be in control. He enjoys being a leader and his
aggression and quick-tempered attitude also helps him with this.
TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)
Star Wars Character : CHEWBACCA
Chewbacca is a dependable creature but he can tend to be stubborn. He likes
material possessions and loves to win at games. He tends to hate being
bossed around or losing and he may succumb to using his physical strength
when upset.
GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 20)
Star Wars Character : EWOK
Ewoks are playful little creatures as are Geminis. They tend to be
extremely curious, craving knowledge but sometimes having short attention
spans. For the most part, they are charming and lovable beings, but they
can seem scatter-brained and highly strung at times.
CANCER (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
Star Wars Character : LUKE SKYWALKER
Luke seems to be somewhat whiney at times, but he eventually develops the
thick, hard shell of a cancer ! He is strong-willed and persistent enough
to get what he wants. He never shies away from a fight or at the first sign
of danger. Not to mention that he has begun to master the element of mind
manipulation.
LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
Star Wars Character : Princess Leia
Leia adds a whole new meaning to self-assurance, which is evident in Leos.
She is a nurtursing person with great physical strength. Like many Leos,
she will see that her mission for good is completed and she is very
optimistic about the outcome.
VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Star Wars Character : C3PO
C3PO shows his efficiency when working for a good cause, but he tends to be
a bit fussy when it comes to doing something out of the ordinary. Like many
Virgos, he wants to stay out of the spotlight, and he does well at picking
up minute details.
LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Star Wars Character : Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi

balance between himself and his surroundings.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
Star Wars Character : Han Solo
Han is a pwerful character. He also tends to be possessive and lusty, which
would explain Han's greedy nature. He feels threatened by Leia's attempt to
order him around which displays the disliking Scorpios have for people who
try to control them. He is often prone to suspicion and jealousy as seen in
The Empire Strikes Back. However, his resiliance and passion lead him to
get what he wants.
SAGGITARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
Star Wars Character : YODA
Yoda is superbly wise and he has been known to spread his wisdom widely. He
seems to be impatient and pushy when people take his teachings too lightly.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
Star Wars Character : DARTH VADER
Vader can be cruel and torment people who disagree with him, but deep down,
there is a peace-loving, friendly side to him. He has a knack for
inflicting pain on people and uses his intellect during battle.
PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
Star Wars Character : LANDO CALRISSIAN
Lando is a typical character with his head in the clouds. He is
self-sacrificing but may be too passive to stand up to Vader. He becomes
fairly pessisimistic when put under pressure. He also possesses a chameleon
ability to change according to the scenery around him.

for all the lotr fans out there, courtesy of BBC news
Rings musical set for stage
A musical version of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, costing more than £8m, is planned for London's West End.
The show, planned to open in 2005, will cost more than any other theatre production ever staged in London.
"This will be like nothing the West End has ever seen before," said producer Kevin Wallace.
"We are setting out to re-create Tolkien's fantasy world on the stage and it will have a real sense of wonder and awe for the audience."
The show's £8m budget is £1.5m more than Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, currently the most expensive show on the West End.
"To do justice to the Lord of the Rings you have to pull out all the stops," Mr Wallace said.
The producers hope to take the show around the world.
The launch of the stage show will come 50 years after Tolkien's trilogy was first published as one volume.
The book's popularity has soared in the past two years, since New Zealand director Peter jackson released the first two Rings films, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.
The two films are already in the top 10 most successful films of all time.
The third film, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is due to be released around the world on 17 December.
Matthew Warchus, the man behind Tell Me On A Sunday and Our House, will direct.
The project has been in development for 18 months and casting begins next spring.
Wallace said there would be a nationwide search for an actor to play young hobbit Frodo Baggins, played in the films by Elijah Wood.
He said: "There are so many great roles in the Lord Of The Rings but I think Frodo will be the most important.
"We will search far and wide to find our Frodo."

The book's popularity has soared in the past two years, since New Zealand director Peter jackson released the first two Rings films, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.
The two films are already in the top 10 most successful films of all time.
The third film, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is due to be released around the world on 17 December.
Matthew Warchus, the man behind Tell Me On A Sunday and Our House, will direct.
The project has been in development for 18 months and casting begins next spring.
Wallace said there would be a nationwide search for an actor to play young hobbit Frodo Baggins, played in the films by Elijah Wood.
He said: "There are so many great roles in the Lord Of The Rings but I think Frodo will be the most important.
"We will search far and wide to find our Frodo."

am feeling v. hot now. damn the southeast monsoon. am melting, no sod that, im evaporating.
linked kathleen, whom i've been friends with for years. known each other since primary god-knows-what. also, she's a zoolander fan! we were sprouting quotes like nobody's business during cat class:
"i have bulimia"
"you mean you can read minds??"
"the essence of wetness is water, and the essence of water, is beauty."
"so, why male models?"
"there's more to being a model than being really, really ridiculously good looking."
"3% fat, 1% brain."
okok, will stop now. for those who have not seen it yet, (it was banned in singapore 'cos zoolander tried to assasinate the malaysian prime minister, so malaysia banned it therefore singapore must follow suit) it is highly recommended!
got rid of columns at the side of the blog, so nothing's wrong with your com or anything. dunno what i'll do next, i like tinkering ard with the html. so if one day you see the thing really really screwed up, im probably working on it.

You are Flint Fireforge! Very old, and very
wise, you carry a great knowledge with you, and
also a bit of a temper! You can be moody, and
possibly pessimistic. As a dwarf fighter, you
have a vast knowledge of fighting abilities.
You are Tanis' oldest friend; you care about
all of the heroes of the lance, perhaps
Tasslehoff the most- despite the fact that he
bugs you so much! ^_^ You're just a big sweetie
underneath it all.

You are Tasslehoff Burrfoot. You are positive,
optimistic and curious as hell. You have a
tendency to forget that you made promises to
people, or if you do remember you convince
yourself they were unaware of a major point in
it. You also tend to "acquire" things
that don't belong to you. According to you,
however, you are not a theif. Unlike many other
Kenders you are loyal to your friends and also
tend to think things through before reacting to
your instinct. You are very gullible and if
someone you know personally tells you something
you believe it. You are very brave and have
only been frightened once, at Shoikan Grove,
hell we don't blame you. We'd piss our pants if

HAH! feeling very satisied with meself. for those of you who haven't noticed, my tag board has been screwed up for quite long now, couldn't see half the thing. oddly, it seems that it had looked fine clarissa's com, steph's com as well as the ones in school. everyone else was saying,'what the hell's wrong with it?' i admit, i still have no idea but i tinkered ard with the html, changed a few numbers and voila! the only bad thing is that i seem to be having problems with the cell padding. oh well, better than having unreadable messeges. splendid piece of work, if i may say so myself...

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..
i find that i have to do that alot now. let me tell you this, i have a high tolerance level for annoying people. i have lived with 3 of the most annoying people in the world for 14 years.
you may not know it, but i have had up to there *indicates somewhere above head* with you. stop it. just fucking stop it. not one day passes do i not have to endure an annoying self absorbed inane comment from you, you speak like it's a crime that i don't fit into YOUR world. i have to tailor my life around YOURS, i have to do things that suit YOU, i have to listen to how YOUR day went, you don't give a damn about the things I do or the things I'M passionate about. you insult the people i love and care about, you never miss a chance to put me down, rub my face in the ground and always create an opportunity for yourself to annoy me. when you do, you gloat about it.
sometimes i think that if i died tomorrow, you'd complain how difficult it is to get to the funeral and how out of that way it is for YOU. and if you do get there, you’ll look all remorse and sad, just because it's good for YOUR image and 'cos that's one less person for YOU to annoy.
why i don't react? because im not supposed to. as much as i would like to retaliate, i'd get into trouble. i'd probably get grounded and have no pocket money till im 20.
i hate the way you give me that smug look when you prove that YOU'RE right. you singapore bred princess, you think that YOUR views are the only right ones, everyone else is wrong, everyone else has been brought up the wrong way. anyone who tries to argue with you gets a tongue lashing because you're so bloody-minded. you damn well know that some of the things you do irritate the hell outta ME yet do still do it 'cos it's fun for YOU.
do you realise i don’t gave a damn about you or our relationship anymore? im sick of doing what YOU want, sick of being lectured about the so-called ‘immoral’ things i do.
back off. i’ll be afraid if you don’t. im afraid of the things i’d do, for i do not know what they are.
to whoever’s reading this: remember- i don’t have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.

went to united square today with jenny and steph. they wanted to get haircuts and we ended up at... jean yip. hmm, always thought only old aunties went there but hey, they did a pretty decent job. got my hair washed, for fun, for $3. jenny's hair looks absolutely fantastic now and steph looks alot neater. well, there's always tmr.
went to the food court after that to get something to eat. think the place is called oscar's. whatever it is, take my advice and NEVER go there.
a rat fell on stephanie. filthy thing, left all this white residue on her clothes. landed in her food and eventually escaped but she managed to get a new plate of it. the food, i mean. actually feel quite sad for the little bugger, minding it's own business and suddenly it loses it's balance and gets a nasty scare landing on someone. if you've been there, you'll realise that the place doesn't have a proper ceiling, just air vents. oh well, it's probably dead by now.
when we got outta the place, i raised my cup of vanilla-coke to the tiled ceiling, 'all hail coke!' (i live and breathe coke-all types) and said that if a rat fell in through the tiles, i'd sue the place. i mean, what the hell, mutant rats that can phase through ceilings?! jenny jokingly quipped, 'yeah, then we'll have x-rats!'
heh heh. i've got corny friends eh?
oh yes. i am fully aware that my tag board is screwed big time. am going to ask mebe amanda or someone to help me with the thing. well, at least you can, sorta, see the messeges now.

You're the smirk,a frown-smile hybrid that's a
little bit cocky and usually associated with
evil or arrogant,but attractive people.You
probably just don't give a damn,but it's
everyone else's fault if you don't because
you're too awesome to have any real faults.

A nun asked her class to write notes to God. Here are some of the notes the children handed in:
Dear God: I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset You made on Tuesday. That was cool.
Dear God: Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have?
Dear God: Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other so much if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother
Dear God: If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
Dear God: I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all of them.
Dear God: Are You really invisible or is it just a trick?
Dear God: Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?
Dear God: Did You mean for the Giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
Dear God: Who draws the lines around the countries?
Dear God: Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"? Because if You did, then I'm going to get my brother good.
Dear God: Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up.
Dear God: You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.
Dear God: Of all the people who work for You I like Noah and David the best.
Dear God: I would like to live 900 years just like the guy in the Bible.
Dear God: We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said You did it. So, I bet he stole Your idea.

A COPPER Dragon Lies Beneath!
I took the Inner Dragon online quiz and found out I am a Copper Dragon on the inside. My Inner Dragon is the mighty warrior of dragon-kind. It's just that simple. Coppers show up when someone's about to die. Coppers don't mess around, and they don't play evil games like Red Dragons. They don't bother with magic, like Gold Dragons. They exist for a purpose, and they serve it well.
But what sort of a dragon would I be if that really was the whole story? I also like to stomp my enemies, start the occasional war, and spend lazy hours preening my battle aura. My favorable attributes are strength, physical abilities, thriftiness, warmth, and longevity in battle. Just in case some puny human (or conniving Red Dragon) thinks they can get the drop on me, I've got a concealed breath weapon - gigantic masses of Fire. Hey, it's the tried and true way to cook a cow in 0.75 seconds.

mum suggested that i go out for a morning walk ard the blk. so, walked in the opposite direction i usually do (the bus-stop). have just realised that i've never been there before. how odd, i've been living here for 13 years, it's a relatively small neighbourhood and i don't notice the pple diagonally across the road grow nothing but ferns?
the people i saw were mostly maids, grandmas, joggers... now i know why they come out in the morning. the air's... different. cleaner, cooler and much less humid. really quite pleasent. never noticed this before as have always been holed up in class/band/bed room during these hours.
oh yes, just a note. the time on my blog entries are correct. i really did post at 3 in the morning and it's abt 9 right now. heh heh.

Bad: He's wearing camos and has an AK-47.
Good: You go to see a strip show.
Bad: Your daughter's the headliner.

If someone has a mid-life crisis while playing hide & seek, does he automatically lose because he can't find himself?
If, instead of talking to your plants, you yelled at them, would they still grow, only to be troubled and insecure?
When sign makers go on strike, is anything written on their picket signs?
Why do they report power outages on TV?
Why do they call it a TV set when you only get one?
Why is it called a "building" when it is already built?
In the bookstore the other day, I saw a book entitled "Sex for Dummies"... Why would someone want to teach dumb people how to reproduce? Aren't there enough of them alive already?
You know how most packages say "Open here". What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else"?
If you have your finger touching the rear-view mirror that says -- "objects in mirror are closer than they appear", how can that be possible?
Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a "near miss"? Shouldn't it be called a "near hit"?

trying to clear out my folder, so in the days to come there'll be alot of amusing crap here, such as...
oh my dearest friend,
When you are sad, ...I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the sorry bastard/bitch who made you sad.
When you are blue, ...I'll try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
When you smile, ...I'll know you finally got laid.
When you are scared, ...I will rag you about it every chance I get.
When you are worried, ...I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.
When you are confused, ...I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass.
When you are sick, ...stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.
When you fall, ...I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.
This is my oath, ...I pledge 'til the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend!
Send this poem to ten of your closest friends and get depressed because you realize you only have 2 friends, and one of them is not speaking to you right now anyway.
Postscript:
A friend will help you move.
A really good friend will help you move a body

in light of the current SARS outbreak, the MoE has given the order for all students to stay at home until the 6th of april.
how nice. when we get back to school, the ciriculum (ok, i don't know how to spell it!) is going to be shit. we'll probably have extra math and god knows what practically every day. not only that, this means that us pple at ij have 3 weeks of march hols and only 2 weeks of june. this is absolute shit.
what exactly am i complaining abt? i should be happy right? no, im not. i do not wish to go back to school and get piles of crap loaded unto us students. i really pity the choir girls as well, i believe that their SYF has been postponed. if that happends to us, they'll be dealing with over a hundred bands of very pissed pple.
the SYF date for band has been fixed. we are the 111th band to play on the 11th of april at 11.30am (i think, give or take a few minutes). notice the ones? hoping that it is a good omen. hah! do not have lessons on that day.

right. have not updated for nearly 2 (for dragonlance readers: only 2, not more than 2...) weeks already. jamie, stop bugging me to update, jeez you think i got so much time?
have been very busy esp with band. got prac 3 times a week. in a way it's fun but at this rate, think i'll crumble under the pressure by the time SYF rolls around. but hey, stress is a good thing, in a way. a certain amt of stress is needed in daily life, like when you have to pass a test or even when you cross a road (don't have to worry abt getting banged down is it?).
yay! watched the FotR extended version last week! got a few cut scenes, at the beginning bilbo narrates and also the whole gift giving scene. i can't believe how much they cut outta lothlorien! i know, it drags the film and all but it's really relevent to what happens later, esp for pple who haven't read the book. was watching it at nick's place, it doesn't help that he's read the Very Secret Diaries by cassandra claire.
haldir (looking at frodo): you bring great evil into these woods.
nick: yes.(pregnant pause) it's called homosexuality.
heh heh... will blog when i can. am off to watch smallville now. think Lex is very hot. ok, rambling. not good. oh yes, and i put up a link to josie and linette's blog. they're sisters, by the way. ok, will go now.

bumber stickers we'd love to see...
I brake for insects.
He who laughs last thinks slowest.
Work is for people who don't know how to fish.
We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse.
Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
All generalisations are false.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Forget about World Peace...visualise using your turn signal.
We have enough Youth, how about a fountain of Smart?
It IS as bad as you think, and they ARE out to get you.
Change is inevitable...except from a vending machine.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
I get enough exercise just pushing my luck.
Sorry, I don't date outside my species.
No radio - Already stolen.
Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
Who stopped payment on my reality check?
Few women admit their age; Fewer men act it.
Some people are only alive because it is illegal to kill.
Pride is what we have. Vanity is what others have.
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.
I don't suffer from insanity -- I enjoy every minute of it.
Your kid may be an honours student, but you're still an idiot.
I love cats...they taste just like chicken.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
There are 3 kinds of people: those who can count & those who can't
heh heh.

heck. why don't i just have an entry for quotes by authors?
I may write disturbing stuff, but really I have the heart of a small boy... I keep it in a jar on my desk.
- Stephen King
The Mariott hotel group is under the impression that you can make a drinkable cup of tea using the hotel room's coffee perculator, a complimentary tea-bag, a thing of creamer, and a sort of a small cut off plastic straw. The Marriott hotel group is wrong.
- Neil Gaiman
will update... eventually. trying to get a tag board/flooble as well.

Wow, you're a Squall. I don't think ive ever met a
Squall before. You may seem quiet and boring
but really have a tortured soul. You'd be a
grear character in those heartbreaking romance
novels. too bad you'd probably die in the end.
Which of the Final Fantasy 8 charatcers are you most like?
brought to you by Quizilla
i've just realized, he's quite hot eh?
you are "the villain". you delight in
squashing small rodents under your sick little
palm. yum yum.
What fairy tale cliche are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are a Fairy of Dreams. You can see this life
and lives past with great clarity. These
visions can be tuned into with great
concentration and time, however, don't expect
to see good things all the time. We are more
prone to negative visions as sayers of the
sooth.
What is your essence Fairy?
brought to you by Quizilla
and yes, i like fairies. right, that was a sign of a total bimbo but im tired ok? and when im tired i do quizzes and make stupid comments. imagine if i were tired all the time *shudder*. in a way i am, but not to that extent. just esp on mondays, since i've got band and PE as well. ok, got bio test tmr. hafta go.

- steph, on my language
i want to fry myself!

now i know how girls from those classes are like.
- one of my bandmates, during ipw class. it was a combined class thing.
i don't want to get scurvy.
- steph, when she bought orange juice.
my sister's not 8 anymore. she's 15!
- my sister, on her blog. (she's nuts)
you don't have to send anything over. you've already sent bol bol.
- my sister, when we offered to send stuff. (she's nuts)
my friend: im afraid of the dark

it's really good to be writing in my blog after so long... been having an awfully long week, like as if it's all merged into one massively crappy day.
the new band room's small, but cosy. it's ok, at least we have a band room. having sectionals in the canteen and under the trees (not at the same time lah!) is pretty fun as well. the air-cons just started working, sorry for that. will miss nice scenery of trees directly outside 'cos will have to close windows. we'd hear the awful drilling though, during practice but it was really funny when mr sim (our conductor) started trying to guess what pitch the drilling was in (F#).
snuck off with isis during sectionals on friday to see our classrooms. they're abt 10 paces wide and two walls are covered with soft board (that stuff that's used for notice boards). there's only one wall with windows and two ceiling fans so it'll be pretty stuffy. will try to find way ard that, mebe bring portable fan? stepping out of class, im greeted with the sight of a football field. the school has two of them, i look forward to pet day, perhaps the school will bring horses in.
can already forsee the complaints from self righteous pompous brats, 'it's so hot here!', 'what's the school trying to do, kill us?', 'the place is so gross...' it's old lah, and of course, my fav, 'why is there no air con?'
for god's sake, you have a place to study, a teacher to teach you, chairs, tables and books to use and you don't need to worry abt if you'll have food on the table tonight.
so learn.

i am damned tired right now. have had 8 tests or so, last and this week. feeling the burn. obviously right now my writing's not very good, been doing argumentative essays for english... crap, have to write one on friday. but no matter, the march hols are starting in a couple of weeks. very geared up for it, got many things planned. including trying to get my hair dyed blue. of course there will be band and im painting the class over in thomson(is that how you spell it?) as well. also spending some time at choir. feels like some kind of shortened december hols. am writing in fragmented sentences and have no paragraphs, not a good sign.
i think i've been doing too many summaries for english. have to go now, got to get to church for ash wednesday. will blog again soon, hopefully when im in a better state.

read an unmentionable blog recently. you know those random e-journals you stumble on when you're randomly surfing and it's all a random accident you're there at all? yeah, one of those.
after reading the latest entry, i realised that i knew this person. as i went down the entries, one jumped up at me. it went something like "WHO THE HELL GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO LINK MY BLOG? IT'S NOT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD!" or along those lines. quite obviously, i got my arse outta there straight away and there's no way im finding that site again.
so if your blog is not for all eyes, then why post on the internet? that's practically publishing it to the world, ain't it? everyone has problems. it's just how you choose to deal with it. write it down? draw it? talk to friends? talk to yourself even. putting it down, in an online diary, is a different matter. i understand the thinking, oh it's some kind of private thing with my inner circle...
with the internet, that's bullshit. it's internet for god's sake. it's where you do research, check your mail, chat with your friends, meet new people, check out blogs and mebe even have the occasional porn jump out at you.
for god's sake, i can even find the lyrics for 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts'.
things get around, ya know? the only way of having no one read what you post is, simply, not telling anyone where you've posted it.
ok. so what's a blog for? i've got mine cos i like writing and it's here that i do my occasional rambles and have opinions. you know everyone has different views and tastes, i like publishing mine on the net and finding out if anyone share them. don't bloody care if anyone's laughing at me, endorphins are good for you. come to think of it, i'd probably laugh at you too, if i read your blog.
right, going off to visit my daily blogs now. the best and longest blog i know, gotta be neil gaiman's. he's got an faq on it as well. and you find out things you ever knew, like he's coming to singapore!

aargh...!!! you've no idea how, how... crappy i am feeling now. no, not even fucked up is a strong enough word. fuck life, it's a bitch. bah, fuck everything!!! just want to throw my hands up in the air and give up.
suprisingly, it seems that school's the only thing i've got going for me. not being fucked up there. yet.
just got off the phone with my sister. she's having such a great time in london. hell, every phone call we have usually has her saying, come over here lah!? she also says that having a boyfriend is overrated and i shd heck choir, leave 'em and go join a better one else where. mebe i will do that, move church. you have no idea how nice that sounds.
you know what i think? i think i need a role model. my dad was a beng at this age, my mum was still biting boys, my sister's too wierd and nick's just plain nuts. and so is everyone else i know, or too young. as far as i can remember, no one i know wasn't a juvenile delinquent at this age, or neurotic.
you know what? maybe im too normal.
shit, i hate this. no, that's not it. i need a break. stop band, choir, school, church, tuition, band, choir and band. need to go away to a nice, preferbly quiet place and read a nice quiet book. like the wake(rachael's letting me borrow hers, in fact) or something like that.
or maybe i need a game.

damn. band today was horrible. hate mr chan. i give up, whatever. but, still love my saxophone.
did i mention? it was my birthday on saturday. horrible day, mr chan was crappy. my long-time friends(of 9 years) were crappy. all 3 of them forgot it was my birthday. i know theirs, of course, 30th sept for val, christmas for jean and charmaine's somewhere in august.
feeling rather depressed now. did not have b'day cake, however, received 60 dollars of b'day hong bao. go me! and blew it on lotr collector's cards. feeling guilty for it, but rather well spent. can sell on e bay eventually.
the only nice thing that happened for my b'day was that nick, g and wei wen came over in the middle of the night to give me muffins, with candles stuck in them. it was nearly 1 in the morning and nick happily called me on my phone,'open the door!' . was stunned for a while, can't believe they did that. so nice! mebe i'll do it for jenny on her b'day, she seemed to be very fascinated by the idea that they bothered to come over. it would have been really nice if raymond were there, actually. but he had a hard day and was tired. oh well. still can't believe they did that!
saxophone section also gave me a slice of cake after lunch. stuck a candle in it. very cute! also attempted to play 'happy b'day' on the sax, valiant effort. i know, im sounding rather bimbotic today. i'm tired, did 2.4 and circuit training for PE, followed by pickle ball, ow arms aching. not very good at ball games, or sport for that matter.
went out on sunday. met kenny, jamie's new stead. rather nice chap, easy going, think of him like an older brother. he's 16, taking... double science i think? they make a good match, in any case.
that's all i can write for now. did everything off the top of my head, just feel like writing, you know the feeling?
got 9 periods with 8 subjects tmr. aargh.

really was not looking forward to band today. but, sometimes i forget how much i love playing the saxhophone(not that im any good at it). also learned that the whole band has to run a few rounds tmr, 30% of the girls who are in TAF club are in band. bloody hell, i don't need this, im underweight! why not jut ask the TAF girls to run? or is Mr Chan(band teacher-in-charge) trying to intergret a sense of unity and commradreship(is that how you spell it?) in the band? whatever it is, i think he's acting for the good of the band, should have some trust in him yes? eventhough i wish i could damn him to the deepest pits of hell? emotion against logic, hate that.
checked out priscilla's blog. she's so expressive, more than she is usually when you talk to her. she's got a great voice, i always sing with her during band, very ironic. she used to be in her primary school choir for, 5? years and got sick of if. like me, she needed a break and decided to join band. doesn't mean she hate singing, we actually sing evey band prac. but if Mr Chan ever catches us... it'll be "off with their heads!"
eldred called yesterday. he's an old friend of my sister's and our neighbour as well, wanted to know how he could contact my sis in London 'cos siu bunn(another friend) will be making a trip there. ended up talking to him for the next 2 hours or so, we talked about everything! from the sucky education system in singapore to CYF (church group) to neil gaiman. haven't had a conversation like that in a long time. actually it was more of me listening to what he had to say, his views are bloody fascinating.
apparently, he's going to canada to study for the next 3 years or so, leaving in august, i think. toria, if you're reading this, he asks if you could send pictures of london to him(doing sandman sketch/story, dunno which)as well as how to contact you? thanks.
aargh, had accounts test today. hope i don't fail, both my parents are bankers, does that help?

Silver Dragon
Who is your dragon spirit guide?
brought to you by Quizilla
got this from rachael's blog. most fascinating.
Wednesday, February 05, 2003
I actually enjoy shocking most people, it's fun and usually entertaining.
- Rachael Law, on her blog
I managed to download the font for Elvish and Dwarven. haha Damn cool!!!!! now i know how to write elvish, just have to learn how to speak it... I'm not that die hard lah, just thought it would be cool.
- Marcus, on his blog
yes i know, i have yet to put up my links and whatnot. will do it, eventually. trying to change the format of my blog, it's bloody difficult, i think i'll just ask clarissa to do it for me, dammit.
rachael's a cool person, she's one of the only people able to freak me out. other then my sister, she's the only person i know who's actually read the sandman. damn it, she's got the whole series, parents got it for her b'dae, last year i think. how lucky can you get?
marcus is crazy, he's got NO bloody idea what he's talking about. even with the elvish/dwarven font it doesn't mean you can write elvish/dwarvish. language is not something you speak frivolously about, especially languages that are, well, not real? and elvish is the language, the script is called tengwar (created by this elf named feanor, who's dead actually). god, how i dislike these people who have no idea what they're talking about(no offense marcus!) it's not as if im an expert at elvish, i haven't the faintest idea how to write it, but i can at least differentiate quenya and sindarin.
if only i were this interested in chinese.
ok, i'll stop ranting now. which reminds me, there's this really good elvish site, http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ . will put it in links when i have time.
aargh, accounts test on friday!

whew.
i haven't forgotten abt this blog, yet. it's been a damned long time since i wrote. been busy, esp since school's reopened. im in one of the worst classes in the school, just 'cos i failed math last year. this combination ain't so bad actually, at least there's pure geography in it.
so many things have happened these few weeks. my sister broke up with her boyfriend back here in singapore, i dunno how to react to that. im still pretty good friends with him though, he's not like the others. all her past boyfriends(and their friends) were never this nice to me, just treated me like something extra, to tolerate. i suppose i am, but they don't know the first thing about me. i call nick up, once in a while. he's really easy to talk to, like as if he were my age(which i guess, in a way he still is). it's interesting, his views on certain subjects, i wouldn't get comments like that from anyone else i know.
Nick - im going to cryogenically freeze myself
me - what if you wake up and find the world a barren wasteland?
nick - we gamers and pessimistic by nature, so others would probably have hidden in caves and such. i'll source out other gamers, sit down and have a game.
(note: i can't remember exactly what he said, but it goes along those lines)
c'mon. how many pple do you know will give you an answer like that?
what else has happened? yarh, got into the class comm. position of secretary, i mostly just take minutes during meetings and try help the treasurer. we meet up with our form teacher, mrs kunna, every friday. she's our math teacher as well, sometimes when she sees a girl being distracted, she'll stop the lesson and go 'focus girls, you must focus!' it's bloody annoying. there was once she gave us a break, so i took out my literature work and started writing, which she bloody confiscated! when i asked for it back after the lesson, she spat out something about being in the class comm and 'being focused' during math. what the hell, what was the point of that so called 'break' then?? whatever, i'll just leave it.
that's pretty much all i can write for now, will try to write again soon.
aargh, gotta go to me grandma's house tmr. have i ever mentioned that my relatives(from my mother' side) think my sister and i have been brought up heathen? well, there're the uncivilliazed ones, so there!!
physics test on tuesday. aargh.
