I am so relieved. The endless mugging for the O's, finally paid off. From a 32 to an 18, all that panic for nearly nothing. The freaking out at Mrs. Ho's office, on the phone, in the hall itself... but freaking out is healthy (to an extent), I suppose.

Looks like giving 4 years to band wasn't such a bad idea after all, even if it did eat my life out. Don't think joining another time-consuming CCA at CJ is such a good idea though, even if the choir seems very tempting, looking at how accomplished it is.

Or perhaps I should go there and do what they have at RJ, that is, set up a gaming group...

It pays to have kender blood. After all the stress and running around, I think I'll still stay up til tmr. Mm, adrenaline.

Got a couple of things to do... burn all stuff out of com as it needs to be sent for reformatting, apply for CJ, mostly admin stuff. And have to stay up to watch Trainspotting so that I can return the disc.

Hallo Adam, thanks for the concern. You take care, I'll see you in church..?

Results are out!

English - A2 (this is ridiculous. Yes I am Upset at this mark.)
SS/Lit - B3
Geography - B3
E Math - B4 (damn this, I was expecting a 3, at least. Must have altered the grade requirement because the paper was quite easy.)
Phy/Bio - B3
PoA - B3

And I passed Chinese. 18 points in total, deduct 2 for CCA (that I got A2 for) and 2 for affiliation and I should get into CJ quite comfortably.

Am satisfied. Will write proper some other time.

THIS IS TOR:
Just came here to moan... I need KC's email to so that I can moan more privately to him too. Although we won the national championships I'm starting to think thet it may have been better if we hadn't won. Moan moan etc about amount of preparation to be done and forcibly abandoned ski trip. Darn! I can't go skiing in the Austrian alps because I have to represent the UK in the international rounds in Washington. Aargh arrgh. This is the same competition that NUS has won more times than any other team. And they have a coach who just so happens to specialise in the same topics the moot problem is on. Wah lau. It's not cos the rest of the world is just no competition but that NUS is really really really good. They have a special course that prepares them for this moot.

And now our coaches and my other team mates are hell bent on making it to the very top. Eurgh is the only thing I can say-- I do have a degree to study for. I wonder if I will be conflicted out of competing with NUS, if it comes to that...?

Victoria,

Mum's been bugging for me to drop you a couple of msges. Driving me crazy (as usual) so here goes...

-Why didn't we call you yesterday? Mum said she thought you were still in Scotland for that Jessups thing. By the way, congrats on winning it!

-Have sent off James' parcel diving equipment regulator whatever thing, to his place in Australia. Has he got it yet?

-Got the parcel you sent me. Thanks so much, you always know what to get me!

Hallo stranger, glad that you like what you see. Do you have a journal yourself, that I could visit too? And how did you find me anyway?

Came across a musical recently, one that Victoria brought back the other time. It occurs to me that I've never posted song lyrics here. Probably because I've not really found many song lyrics very meaningful.

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl

- Wicked, the musical: 'I'm not that girl'.

Settled the matter, couldn't have asked for better results. Another memory for the photo album of my life. I feel like a satisfied cat right now, complete with the head patting.

*stretches and smiles*

Amanda dear, we'll get that done when you finish work? Looking forward to it!

Thanks Toria, wish you were here for it!

Hallo MI people. Am not even going to try guessing who you are...

Tora~! *glomps* Thanks, miss you loads! Oh, and about the Naruto scanlations, I can't seem to send it to you, so have asked Schaz to send instead. If that fails then will get Wen to do it, since he's got everything till 37 or something.

You stay happy too, Gaby... thanks for dropping by.

Quid pro quo, King Kong. I'll tell you where I've been, if you tell me who you are? Why'd you want to know anyway?

Thanks for giving a damn, Orion. I've no idea when yours is either?

All done fine, Khayce. Oh, and have new friend for you to meet this Saturday. She's sitting in for VtR, Richard says it's fine. Bern (that's her name) loved Bodycount Thursday, so what will she think of actual role playing?

To you: Thanks, for everything.

My life has been turned upside down, within a week. This is ridiculous.

I am a teenager, even if I'd like to think that I don't act like one (not all the time, anyway). Something has been brought to my attention recently and believe that I should deal with it the way it should be handled, with care and awareness of all consequences. But I want to be the child that I am and just do what I want to do, to satisfy my own needs, or my own lust in this case.

God help me, I thought it was a done deal by Sunday... have I made a mistake with my recent actions? I had hoped not, despite warnings from one whom I trust. She has spoken of it for ages long... and only now do I learn the hard way.

Many things hinge on the events of tomorrow, the best results being that we come to a peaceful understanding. Worst case scenario, me being scarred for life perhaps. I don't really want to think about it. Playing it by ear seems like the best course of action now.

I don't have time for this.

To whom it may concern: it's not about barriers, it's about- what is it all about anyway? I'm so sorry to have started it all.

THIS IS TOR

Top questions I hate people asking me in making conversation:

5. What kind of law?

When I tell them. they go blank anyway. I know they're hoping I'll say something fun like criminal or family... since that's what girls do, right?

4. So, whereabouts in Singapore are you from?

I had a lecturer who said, hey, I was brought up in Singapore. Where in Sg are you from? And I'm thinking, if I say Bishan, that would just embarrass you cos you have not the slightest idea where that is. So I said, Bishan. And he said, oh... That's nice. I'm from Terlok Blarng-Arh.

3. So, what language do you speak in Singapore?

Ugh. This is Britain, our former colonial masters.

2. Do you speak English?

Ugh. This from a customs official. I just blinked and waited for a long time to see what he would do. Then he flipped my passpart and discovered what exactly I was doing in his country. [Planning to steal his pathetic job along with all the bloody illegal immigrants here, of course.]

1. So, what's your real name?

Aargh. What was I to do but laugh and down my Foster's? No prizes for guessing where this knob was from.

Am to be 17 soon, next week actually. Which means... birthday wishlist.

1. Earphones with a decent bass (my current ones are crap, they came with the player)
2. Black, collared short-sleeved shirt (to wear over my indecent... pieces of cloth)
3. Wallet that cannot pass off as a brick, prefably one of those slim leather ones (it's possible to stun a burglar with my current one)
4. Multi-purpose plain stud earrings
5. Black, liquid eyeliner
6. Black, plain sports sandals (sport shoes can get tiring)
7. Black, reversible belt from Giordano
8. Spirited Away DVD, Japanese dub with English subs (my favourite movie)
9. Return of the King official soundtrack
10. Someone to come over to my house to teach me how to convert songs to mp3 format to plug into my player, dammit
11. Coffee with RK
12. Kino voucher
13. A hug

So like that larh. Or you can get me anything you think I'd like, which should be quite easy.

Had Justin and Alex meet Ed and Gee today. Needless to say, they get along just fine. Now they know why I always wax lyrical about my other friends. Generally find that having my friends meet my friends is usually a very good thing, for some reason.

Am too damned tired to do a full entry today, might blog next week?

Tora~! *glomp* nice of you to drop by. Well, bury yourself in a good book and carry your player around with you, should be rather effective. I should know.

Yes, coffee Rosie. Shall we arrange it on Valentine's day? You working?

I am in Singapore, Althea. That was my sister posting, you should know that by now! Ok, are you free after the new year week? I'll give you a call larh.

Jenny, yeah. Ouch! Oh the wax, it's dripping. I like it between my-

Khayce, is it me or does all this reservist business sound quite ridiculous? Erm, you don't have to do anything for my birthday, really.

Tor,

what you could get me? Erm, books again I guess. Can't go wrong with that right? I'll think about it lah.

Eh, remember the coduroy pants Auntie G got for us from Giordano? Do you have my pair? I can't find them larh. And several pairs of your jeans mysteriously appeared in my closet?

Now I can't wait for June lah! Won't tell them anything, and will go read up on that bit of the world. Paris, Venice, Italy, Spain. Will need to meet up with Ed and Paul as well.

Ok. First milk, then sleep. G'night.
