what a business it has been this week.
one smashing of, one making up and two breakdowns of. that's partially why i haven't been blogging really, many things i am restricted from writing about (all of the above, actually).
did considerably well for this year's exams, as compared to last year. only failed sub lit, by just one mark no less. immensely pleased in the area of maths and accounts as well, heh heh! but ok lah, l1 r5 still something like 30 points...
ever since the exams ended, school's been an absolute bore. hanging out in mrs Ho's office most of the time. can't be bothered to go on most days but parents will make noise. anyway, if do skip then might become habit, so maybe they're right. good thing have large stock of books to keep me company.
despite the opinions of some people, have honestly switched down to chinese B syllabus, so not taking exam on monday. best of luck to ya'll who are, especially chan and rosie!
as am posting this in the morning, grandma's pottering around the house right now. it amuses me so much. she says to you tor, take care. slight dementia setting in there, just walked into the room but forgot what she's here for.
have been spending a bit of time with bernadette fah recently. just been included into the 'family' as her potted plant.. hrm..
finally watched van hellsing yesterday. er, it was ok lah. perhaps expected too much from all the hype. though the CGI was notable, rather enjoyed that. and dracula's babies are so cute, i want one!
ok, on to tags and messeges.
tor: barbecue?! you want to die arh?! how are you going to tell daddy if you really do fail? and the link seems to have a bit of problem... and this is william hung. just click on the download.
KC: shutupshutupshutup!!!
LadyDeLioncourt, terry, keiran: hallo! ya'll very bored arh? make your way down to atomfilms then, sure to find something interesting there.
dawndie: heh, thanks! and are you sure you want to use 'dawndie'?
min: hallo! thanks for dropping by. what're we going to do about peter?!
ok, going to have lunch now, and stuff. how strange to be posting at this time of day!

Hi glor,
Good for you that you did well in maths!! Maybe you should be more explicit and say to our parents: 'look, i've passed. be proud of me. or don't. either way, i'm going out now, bye!' Seemed to work for me... Who is william hung? Ur tagborad doesn't seem to be working so I'm writing here instead.
Anyway... Aargh! I just screwed up my past 3 exams! Really. I'm not just saying that, for once in my life.. I only answered 3 questions for tort out of 4, which can't be good. It's made me so bohchup about my last exam, knowing that it can't get worse. And the sun was shining and it was nice and warm outside... so I went to a friend's barbeque today! And my exam is on monday. haha.
Talk to you tomorrow

can't hold a decent conversation with my parents, am starting to get fed up. does this mean im becoming a normal teenager with the whole angsty 'my parents don't understand me' thing? but really, when my mother says that i sing like william hung, reminds me to take out my key when i lock the door and my father thinks im one of those sit around and do nothing mcdonalds kids... i'm starting to think, i am what my parents say i am. they're not even glad that i passed my maths (for the first time in 3 years), and just said 'only 56?'.
or i could just be pms-ing.
received letter from Mr Chan today, by post. my attendence for band is poor/irregular. missed 75% by about a 0.5, crap. looks like have to attend june/july practices. so much for 'goodbye band'.
now that the exams are over, am slacking on a professional level. went gallavanting around town with jenny and that lot, like the normal teenager i'm supposed to be. tmr having dinner with nick, dawn, case, ed and maybe g, all of which i haven't seen in the longest time. before that, if not getting together with sam and rosie then will probably go rent the hellsing or angel sanctuary manga, it's cool stuff man, trying to get my hands on the animae now.
just noticed the last bit of my previous post ment little sense to most pple. fma, or full metal alchemist, is an animae that am currently quite enthusiastic about. for more information, like storyline and character info, click here.
am not sure what this whole animae thing that's going on right now is all about actually. think it's just a phase, it's really cute stuff you know. but your resident goth girl is still here, don't worry. come on, i do refrain from using random japanese words on my blog (k'so!*damn!* nani?*what?* nandayou,*what the hell* urusai*shut up* baka!*idiot!* arigato*thanks* tora-sempai!*tora-senior!*)and also went out in full goth gear today, not some random cosplay thing. don't think will ever reach that stage and if i do, will cosplay Death anyway...
speaking of animation, my sis posted the url for a nice short thing on atomfilms and being the idiot that she is, can't post a proper link. anyway, it's really cool, called the peri-wig maker. will post other random interesting links in future, mostly taken from gaiman's blog larh, since he always has random interesting links, like unorthodox dictionaries in a great many languages, which comes in rather useful. it's even got cantonese.
if i didn't make sense am most sorry, a bit tired from exams and walking several lengths of orchard road. when my mum's complaining about being late in paying bills you can hear me mumbling in the background,'accrued expenses, current liability in balance sheet...' is that supposed to be a good thing?
tagboard has been having problems recently, not just mine but the site in general. think they're tinkering around the system or something.
linniee: erm, hello to you too..?! how's it going in sec one, by the way?
ed: why am i msging you, we see each other tmr don't we?!
KC: gilmore girls..? wha..?
cass: hey yourself. exams ok lah, except chinese. what about your own exams? and i er, can't remember your blog add... could you tag it? thanks!
i say, that III guy is really gone huh. didn't mean to scare him away. honest.
really am v. tired. think will go to sleep now. cool, haven't had to chance to sleep properly for ages as during exam period sometimes will wake up halfway to check textbook/notes...
good night.

tor, you are a lucky sod, aren't you? will shut up about license. anyway, when you're back we'll have to get out more. Random hot guys aren't extinct, they're just rare. actually am glad did not get the thing, cannot do impromptu to save my life.
too right chan! Give us Johnny Depp any time!
i don't know, lester. haven't seen his other movies but the promotional stuff doesn't look too good? he's just not Sirius, i suppose. or maybe am reading too much fanfic, but you try reading cassandra claire and not have a changed opinion about harry potter?
did horribly for Chinese prelims. am going to drop, then do syllabus B. do you have any idea what the exam format is like? Paper 1 is either picture compo or letter writing, paper 2 isall multiple choice and oral has pronunciation for some of the more 'cheem' words. looking at that, there's no chance am not dropping, bloody hell.
English mid year was another matter though, it went fine. of course, if you've done the st nick's 2003 prelim paper you can do any damned compre, hah!
also, might have mentioned that choir?s done a recruitment drive recently.
oh god help me.
right. chan and i are planning a full metal alchemist (aka fma) marathon on the 13th and 15th of may, so open invitation for anyone, all episodes til 31 which will be the latest. venue at hers and my place.
alright, have to go now. and happy belated jamie! will get you you're present next week, we promise you'll like it...

This is tor.
And this is the kind of crap I have to write every day:
This argument is made by analogy to the situation where, when an imperfect gift is made, equity will not permit a donor to change his mind if it would be unconscionable for him to do so. It is submitted that, in this case, it would be unconscionable and contrary to the principles of equity to allow the donor’s executors to act against his intention to make a donatio to the appellant. Just as it would be unconscionable for the donor to resile his gift in his lifetime, it would be unconscionable for his executors to do so after his death.
Check out how many times I have to use the word 'unconscionable'. My brain is no longer in a functioning state. To people who are interested in doing law, you will enjoy it if you find the above paragraph endlessly fascinating. To people interested in doing law for the money, make sure you are capable of getting through physical truckloads of this stuff to get to the money. Even by using unwanted pages of cases as rough paper for printing, rough writing, etc, I still have 4 boxes full.
On a slightly lighter note, I cooked and thoroughly enjoyed eating sambal fish yesterday! I used the wrong type of fish, and the skin stuck to the pan, but hey, I cooked sambal fish! That's the extent of the highlights in my day. Other highlights: discovering a jar of jelly beans in cupboard, smelling my bolster, and disappearance of itchy leg rash.
Well, there was the arrival of my malta tickets as well... I'm going to malta! Right after my exams. I'm flying to the southernmost country in the mediterranean for a week of scuba, lolling around on beaches, and loads of nice italian food! Ok Glor, don't tell mummy, but I'm going to get my scuba license. This will be my first holiday doing whatever I like, whenever, however, etc. No bloody chan brothers tours or shopping-obsessed singaporean students.
5 days of scuba in one of the most remote and beautiful underwater locations on earth. Then another two days to recover from all that nitrogen by hanging out at the beaches, interesting small towns, etc. Makes this tedium almost worth it.
