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

Thursday, May 13, 2004

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 is all 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.

for those of you who don't know, i share a blog with my sister so am not talking to self lah. but she drops by only on occasion. it's quite easy to tell the difference between her writing and mine, by the way.

to tor: no, didn't get it. you cow thing went very well though. it was my impromtu that was total crap. for the first 20 seconds i had no idea what i was saying. the topic was 'beauty pageants are a waste of time'. so expository, my downfall in English!

just realised haven't ranted on about 'the prince and me' here. it's an absurd movie that's total crap that made me feel like absolute shit when i came out of the theatre. it's the type of movie where if you don't have a boyfriend makes you want to grab any random hot guy off the street and snog him.

am so shallow. sigh.

i say, has anyone seen my copy of OotP? seem to have misplaced it/lent it to someone/both. hope tor didn't bring it to london..? also just realised that the book and the movie are coming out in about a month. cool. generally don't like gary oldman. Sirius Black CANNOT look like that. nor Lupin. but will see movie anyway, it is a Harry Potter movie after all.

random quiz time! hey, they're nice quizzes ok...

i'm in ravenclaw!

ok, done. he didn't ask who wrote your cow dream but i think he knows anyway (i mean, come on, it's daddy..!). then he gave me some pointers abt how one shouldn't memorise something but instead to simply try to tell a story. like how i can talk on the phone to someone for a bloody 2 hours and it's so difficult to write a 2 minute thing.

so like that lah. think am going to go with your cow thing, daddy said pple in school might not appreciate the gaiman one.
read daddy a bit of babycakes and he didn't even let me finish it! said something abt not reading word for word and interacting with the audience. then he did a demo and turned the whole thing inside out, took the idea instead of just reading the whole thing, 'teachers and friends, i'd like you, for a moment to just imagine, what if one day, all the animals disappeared?' or something along those lines. why couldn't i have inherited more funky useful stuff from daday? so in doing that, am not actually reading neil gaiman's work as such. but i supose i'll still write a letter to his agent abt it anyway.

ok, will get back to you in a while about reading yours.
I don’t know why I keep having this dream. Do I think of myself as a cow? Is this a cry for help, a fear of being trapped, or simply exams?(raise eyebrow here in ironic fashion) There is a slightly farcical quality to my dream. Farce is what you call funny things which are tragic, like charlie chaplin, or mr bean. Or clowns. My cows are not laughing, they are dying, but it is funny nonetheless. Like the laugh of a madman, the last man on earth.

This is tor. I am stressed. This is what I wrote:

It begins in a small room made of mud—the roof is dry grass of the sort you find in deserts. The air is dry. The heat, everywhere. Through the small square hole in the wall, very high up, is a pink sky. But we are not on Mars, though the landscape be as barren. It is bright in the room. The walls are thick. It is very bright outside.

I am sprawled on the floor, my Sec 4 Chemistry book in front of me, reading. But I can’t, suddenly. I cannot turn the page. Upon it thrashes a thick brown coil, a great earthworm, it seems, all blood and muscle, in agony, covering my words with slime, blood and soil. To one side stands a black crow, its head jerking from side to side, taking sneaky little bites. I can see blood, pumping, through the skin of the worm, the little vessel in its centre gasping madly, as if for air.

Fascinated as I am, I must go on. I turn the page, pressing the paper firmly downwards with my hand until the juices run and squelch between my fingers. The door is on my right. A big, barnyard affair, wood nailed together. I draw the old-fashioned bolt, and push the door open to reveal a pink sky rushing to meet the horizon. Of dying cows.

The land is covered by dying cows. Dying cows everywhere, reaching to the horizon. It is a scene of visceral decay. I am overwhelmed with sadness for all these cows. I see a horrribly mutilated young calf, eyes covered with a white rheum, dried blood mixed with the dead bodies of flies, bloated from its flesh. I do not know why these cows were injured. I do not know why they are dying. But I am determined to save them.

But. I can’t! They are too many! Too many for me to carry to the nearest town. I pick up the young calf, and start walking.

I don’t know why I keep having this dream. Is my self image a cow? There is a slightly farcical quality to this, considering cows are usually used in funny imagery. Farce is what you call funny things which are tragic, like charlie chaplin, or mr bean. Or clowns. I think it is exam anxiety. Yesterday I dreamt I was in a gothic castle a la Harry Potter, except the courtyards were filled with statues of famous philosophers. And they could talk, a la Necroscope. They were all grey, but the light was yellow, like evening sun. I could see dust motes in the streams of light but it did not seem dusty. I was in a grey room looking out into the courtyard. I spoke to the figures there. There were many statues.

See? My dreams are all of me being trapped inside a small place, with a big place outside. The small place is always grey, or brown, or dark. And the outside space is infinite, or I can’t see the end. There are always lots of things outside, and it is bright and pretty. I can see their form, but their content, or meaning, is mysterious. I don’t feel trapped in the dream, because I can always go outside. But when I do, I don’t fully appreciate the things outside. Why? maybe i am just stressed.

Sunday, April 11, 2004

first up, happy easter everyone! today's easter mass went alright i think. hope your lentern sacrifices paid off, that is, if you're the type who does that sort of thing.

next, happy hide (pronounced HEE-dei) memorial day! *prances with chan (who's hollering 'rocket dive' lyrics) around shopping cart with lemons in*

ok, enough with the jap stuff.

computer man came on friday. that's it, my printer has gone totally kaput, from lack of use. it's barely a year old dammit! looks like attempts to print various school assignments were pretty pointless. ack. now have to get new one, *anguished cry* oh will this search for a good printer never stop!?

yes, have also been sick for about a week now. lungs half full of phlegm, sometimes have to stop what i'm doing half way, stare off into the distance and then start trying to hack up my respiratory system. once done being amused by dancing stars, have to do a bit of blinking before repeating process. good thing fever went down.

have chinese prelims tmr. wishing me luck is not going to do any good. going to blindfold self and jump off cliff while desperately trying to miss hitting the ground.

among a few other churches, went to Mary queen of the angels on thursday. aargh! i swear, want to move to that church even though it's in bukit batok, my future house will look like the columbarium there!

to les: wussup with you man? looking at your e-journal (of which i don't understand at least half of because of people/incidents am not familiar with and just plain cheem-ness), feel you surrounded by bad karma, regardless of even if you feel 'all right now'. want to meet up one day for coffee?

to liz: miss you too! especially our slacking at starbucks. might drop by lah, who knows? should catch up one day, take care dear.

to lll: (for full effect, imagine me saying this with all the stresses)*reclines in chair and raises an eyebrow disdainfully* which part of 'all that has been written' do you not understand?

have to go drink milk now. will try to remember not to throw away special offer/free milk/whatever sales gimmick thing.

Tuesday, April 06, 2004

changed layout. haven't time enough to fiddle with a fancy one but simple and plain works too. fixed tag board so now you can pretty much see the whole thing.

by the way, scrapped the links and random stuff 'cos honestly can't be bothered with blog etiquette. don't see why i should add rubbish links just because i'm supposed to. but if you ever need a link that used to be here then just ask, via tag.

comments please? thanks.

Monday, April 05, 2004

yarh larh, ok les, i'll write! *acknowledging nod to the smallness of the tag board, as well as all that has been written*

have been v. busy, during the march hols banders had to go back to school 5 days a week, 'cos of the concert larh. but had a bit of fun during the practices, at least. i'm definitely going to miss those (and the odd things we have to do like try to get the chime to shut up when we're in the bus by having 4 of us grab different sections of it) once us sec 4s are properly out of the band. not the ungodly hours though. but it's not over yet, we still have honours day to play for, ack.

please don't ask how the concert went. i can't exactly answer that question. or anything related to band, for that matter.

now that we've stopped for the exams, i don't feel so crushed anymore, am v. relieved to have more time. but sometimes i think even if there were 36 hours in a day it wouldn't be enough... i would spend alot of it messing around this blog you know. and reading others, of course. i'm sorry to those whose blogs i'm supposed to read, i hardly find time to come online and check my mail larh, wah lau.

am absolutely sick of doing them chinese tests. gave up on friday (also 'cos i was late) and only filled in multiple choice sections, what's the point? we'd have to do another one on monday anyway. but have been studying for prelims larh, getting through the chinese shou che book is like wading through a swamp, without any pants on.

we made a suggestion to mrs nix the other day, that we'd just do our english homework on our blogs ('cos it's some kind of reflection thing) and hey, that's generally what people do on their blogs most of the time anyway... right..? but it got turned down, of course. interesting concept though, i rather thought it would make me write in my blog more.

i want to change my skin, bleah, the computer guy said he'd save my folder for me the last time we reformatted the com but i don't know what happened, crap. had this really nice background, stained parchment looking, with inked designs at the side. ah crap.

i bought the budak pantai album! they are so cool, a local a capella band. if you want, i could lend you the album. they did 'my heart wil go on' (that's right, the celine dion one) with this funky country feel thing combined with... Star Wars..? yeah, it's cool. highly recommended. speaking of albums, am planning to buy the jason mraz (i don't know how to spell his surname, no. but it sounds something like that) one. he drinks, smokes and still sounds like honey, beautiful! and he writes his own songs too.

can't wait for maundy thursday, do so like the visiting churches thing. was just going to mention the churches i'll be visiting but suddenly have mrs Chu's voice in my head,' and they also tell them where they're going!'. hrm. so let's play 'i'm not a stupid teenager' then. in any case, *waves* that was for any teacher who just so happens to be here.

mum screaming at me for throwing the milk carton away. had to cut out portion of it to redeem free extra carton see, you know the type. so now she's banging things around 'cos she's angry. i do wish she'd stop.

alright, i'm off. will blog when something excititng happens i suppose.

This is me, tor.

Planner
The Planner

Since work and success are your top priorities, you
can pretty much hold any job you want if you
have the drive for it. You would really like
jobs where you can plan things, like business
executive, teacher, journalist, or lawyer. You
may stay away from jobs that focus on seeing
success in other people (Counselor,
psychologist) because you want a job where YOU
decide the success, not someone else.
You generally do well with authority, which is why
you would like someone who would dominate you.
You dont mind taking orders to please other
people, as long as your soulmate doesnt get in
the way of your goals you will be fine. You
can be very stubborn, and you dont want to deal
with putting time or effort into relationships
you know wont last, so you usually have long
term relationships with possessive and
loyal people. Your dream men would be Ares from
Xena, Indiana Jones, Maximus from Gladiator,
and Jeff Corwin. You dream ladies would be
Faith from Buffy, Buffy, and Xena. You most
likely are an Ares, Capricorn, or Virgo. You
most likely
eat really bland food and like things to be plain
and simple and practical. You would love to
get something like a new computer or
organization file for Christmas. You are
probably considered greedy or miserly and you
can relate to Ebeneezer Scrooge in more ways
then one. You probably are in college or plan
to attend college, have very good grades, and
have received some sort of award of excellency
over the years.
Your best friends would be Dreamers and Creators.
You would do well dating a Villian, Leader, or
King. You would have trouble making
conversation with other Planners, and Social
Butterflies would annoy you!

to the 2 classes in charge of the thanksgiving mass on monday:

it may not have been so great today but the effort put in for this is unmatched. rock on! (i don't know why i sound american..?)

to the people who were laughing and rolling their eyes during practice:

you are fleas that nest in the scrotum of a diseased gay camel and it's not worth farting in your general direction. and rememeber, i don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.

cannot for the life of me figure out how to enlarge the text box for my posts. all the conventional things aren't working... oh well. will settle with this for now.

anyway, been busy. can anyone suggest what kind of explainations (why does tha look wrong? am sure it's spelled that right... help lah tor.) i can come up for things chosen for offertory: a box of chocolates (to quote forest gump, 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get' so savour every moment), a ring (i dunno yet, but that's pretty symbolic ain't it?!), a picture of a girl with her friends (something about not forgeting the times you had in secondary school) and something else... a book (quite lame, because learning never ends), i think. so just post suggestions on the tag board or tell me straight.

this whole mass thing is crazy. things were flying around, something about not wanting to pair up 4/3 and 4/4... shd have been 4/3 and 4/9 instead or something ridiculous like that. we got paired up in the end though (we fought for it, generally, the 2 classes like each other, methinks) but didn't have a pianist until we begged angie to play. jamie was nice enough to be the back up pianist though, 4/6 has heaps of pianists, can count 3 off the top of my head.

many things going on, concerning the mass thing, tempers flaring mostly. am just praying that we don't screw it up.

Jac yip's furious at 4/3 for several reasons, not too sure of the whole story (generally don't want to know it) but am getting a bit worried for their self-awareness camp because of it. can't predict what'll happen, hope they solve it.

just started the secret pal thing in class today. had a false start (everyone knew who everyone else's secret pals were...) so had to start again. won't say who mine is, in case she reads this. highly doubt that'll happen though, don't think she knows my blog add, we're not close.

got 5.5 upon 25 for my january accounts test, dunno how am going to tell my father, help!

ok, not really organising this blog entry today so random things just coming out yarh? just finished maths tuition, brain a bit scrambled. but do rather enjoy maths and, for that matter, chinese tuition. tuitors are very patient and everything, 'cos it's one on one.

printer got problem! stupid thing, random red button flashing, which is supposed to mean either the thing is jammed (it's not) or the ink's run out (it hasn't). first it was the monitor, then this. the monitor's problem was that it was randomly switching itself off. kinda sounds like the problem my tv had the other time (that was ages ago) but banging didn't help at all. generally speaking, rather like banging electrical appliances (only during malfunctions lah) 'cos get great satisfaction when the thing starts working again, after all that noise.

praticing hard for band concert. by the way, if anyone wants to purchase tickets, they're $10 each, concert itself to be held at VCH, free seating. buy from me lah. been dueting with priscilla after practically every practise, and am obviously the better singer (and am obviously writing that to make self feel better, entertain me). it'll be so strange when we leave band, meaning the sec 4s. have no great love for it or anything but don't get me wrong, don't hate it either. but it's been such a regular part of life here in secondary school, twice a week, every week then all of a sudden it stops...

just realised that i'm going to rather miss band. never thought i'd ever have to say that.

watched moon child the other day, the movie with hyde, gackt and lee hom in it. chan and vanessa have effectively turned me into a gackt fangirl. damn i don't need this, you hear me?! gackt's like this too-strange jap version of lestat (which i think is what's attracting me). so, just for the sake of it:



Which Gackt are you most like?

i have to go have dinner now. also have to study for accounts test. many (it's MANY, sub-conscious, NOT MANA, damn it. only malice mizer fans will get this, so nevermind.) things have not been written, but that can't be helped.

and oh yes. thanks so much for the Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials set, tor! i love it!
