WHOOOOOOOSH! Within the past week, o's have ended, i've graduated and prom's over! Wow everything has been happening at breakneck speed it's so scary!

1. Graduation! Goodness gracious me 10 whole years in sc it's amazing. I know i'm gonna miss sc so, so much more than half of my life in this school and it's given me so much. And the people i've met, i can safely say, friends for life(: But as they say, all good things come to an end. I'm so thankful though for having these 10years to make my memories and meet my friends and teachers. It's been GREAT.

I MADE IT PAST THE HALFWAY MARK! This calls for a celebration:D In the form of a two-hour break. Shall tackle the whales after dinner.

Today was the most...discomforting day yet? I wouldn't call it bad but it's not the feeling i had after the maths as well. Ah NINE MORE DAYS:D I think most of the scary papers are out of the way yipee (according to shan that's a gay word).

Last Choir Standing is addictive. As is X Factor. I have a thing for british reality tv but the standard's so much better than others (aka Singapore Idol ahem)! Amazing Duane's gonna be performing and he probably just finished the papers too wow.

Yesterday i decided i wanna get a tattoo! But i'm scared it'll hurt:/ and if i regret it next time i won't be able to fully remove it:/ and if i get old then i'll have saggy tattoo! Hahahah but i shall keep that in mind for things i want to accomplish before i die. I got the idea from stamping myself with the name stamp thing heheh it's really fun! Simple pleasures that i indulge in while cramming my already over-filled brain with even more information. Oh oh oh and i decided if i get a tattoo i'll get a "V" (inspired by lloyd daniels' "L" - we can be LV hahahahh) to which jien gave me the ultimate -.- Speaking of which, today we spotted the "antithesis to the characteristic"! Talk about talking in code.

Exams ain't that bad now that it's finally here (AND ENDING!!!). After that will be graduation prom blah blah usofa blah blah results! Heheh.

Haven't been updating for quite awhile. I'd like to say that it's because i was studying that i have no time to update, but that would just be deluding myself(: 14 days to the start, 32 till the end. Can't wait to get it over and done with. Pretty scared though. O's are so....definite:/

500 days of summer is a must-watch:D Good soundtrack; unconventional story-telling; interesting take on romance. And it has effectively gotten me hooked on the smiths. They should totally bring the x factor to singapore out of all the talent shows i've watched this is by far the best. Doesn't hurt that lloyd daniels is the cutest guy i've ever seen:D Singing's damn good.

As you can see, i've been studying very, very hard. Glee after o's. Gave myself a teaser the cast sounds goooood. CAN'T WAIT FOR NEW YORK GRRRR HURRY COME PWEASE PWEASE PWETTY PWEASE?

I'm actually quite insecure hmmm. Insecurity complex?

I went running today(: Then i came home and youtubed x factor. A million times better than american idol. Ethan Boroian!


I've been roaming around
Always looking down
And all I see
Painted faces
Fill the places
I can't reach

You know
That I could
Use somebody
You know
That I could
Use somebody

Someone like you
And all you know
And how you speak
Countless lovers
Under cover
Of the street

You know
That I could
Use somebody
You know
That I could
Use somebody
Someone like you...

Off in the night
While you live it up
I'm off to sleep
Wagin' war
To shake the poet
And the beat

I hope it's gonna
Make you notice
I hope it's gonna
Make you notice

Someone like me,
Someone like me,
Someone like me, somebody.

Go and let it out...

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roamin' around
Always lookin' down at all I see

I think teachers should be banned from venting their frustrations on students): Boo. I'm trying to start studying, but i have a huge pile of homework to clear eeks. Starting to really really dread school for now. School equates to:

1. An endless pile of homework the grows exponentially.
2. Wasting of time in certain lessons.
3. Hours equivalent to a working person.

School was quite fun till after prelims. It was actually still okay until we started getting back our results and teachers started to fight for us. One body, 24 hours, yet everyone wants a piece of us. I'm spending on average 11 hours in school? I want to read a good book, play the guitar, and have a nice chat(: Something's got to give: bye computer. Not going to see you everyday from now on.

My right hip hurts i think it's a sign of old age. And arthritis. How now brown cow little bow wow?



I'm feeling quite...detached from everything at the moment.

Oral is over! It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be and i wasn't as scared as i thought i would be(: Thank goodness for breathing. World peace! Never ever prepared for that topic but no major mishaps. I'll miss oral it's probably the most fun paper i'll sit for out of all the papers): I'm supposed to start studying this weekend:/ Eeks.

Fidelity reminds me of raindrops keep falling on my head-.- Sounds the same! I have a reading list an arm's length long. Prelims weren't fantastic but i'm thankful(: English was disappointing though:/

Patiently awaiting November the 13th(:

I'm feeling strangely lost. Compass compass compass.

Today i found out:
1. I can survive on 4.5hours of sleep, except i start rambling nonsense and becoming incoherent, according to Smiles.
2. My ears have the potential to go amazingly red without anything remotely exciting happening (heh jien).
3. Person X's blog (shan you're forbidden from commenting on this post)
4. Reese is a good pick-me-up.
5. What is baybeats. Technically yesterday but 4's an odd number so i wanted to make it 5. Yup no laughing is allowed(: Listened to my first anberlin song yesterday as well and it's...aural torture tyvm. I take comfort in regina spektor, deathcab, finger eleven and adele. Evidence that good music (to me) still exists.

2nd keyword i learnt in lit today: Focus. As you can see, this post is the epitome of focus. Hehheh epicentre, focus. I'm going to crash now.

Ps. I just tried detecting my location using the Location detector on lj. They can detect i'm in Singapore, Singapore! EGGCITING.

SLEEPOVER LAST NIGHT WAS UBER FUN:D Loved pointing the most omg it was CLASSIC. We should totally video ourselves playing that dumb game bet we'll get even more hits than ryanhiga. Got impacted by Changeling. Ran in the morning(: Gained everything back by having Prata Cafe. Good stuff. Time flies. President's Scholar SC girl! Cool. My nose predicted the weather it always does. Which means it goes haywire everytime the weather's about to change-.- Ah i love my friends.

PRELIMS ARE OVER PRELIMS ARE OVER PRELIMS ARE OVER:D

So eggciting i swear last night, fb and twitter were both jammed up by all the sec4s that's why no one could get in-.- prelims were...okay i guess. Not very eventful except almost missing out one whole page for amath paper 2. Long story but i discovered at the last 15 minutes so chionged the last two questions. When i discovered it, i swear my heart dropped down this bottomless well for an instant. Went out with smiles kim cheryl after chem. SHAKER FRIES SHAKER FRIES SHAKER FRIES i know very, very sinful but i've been off fast food for more than a month:D Noy by choice but by lack of time. Longest i've ever studied, one month and almost one week:D Tiring yo.

Laughed like crap at macs. Most of the time, we weren't even laughing at things that were funny but more because of all the miscommunication-.- tartar in your mouth kim? Then went to ion it's damn big! Tried the most embarrassing things at topshop (not by choice) damn wish i hadn't forgot to bring my camera yesterday. If not i would have taken photos of katie (ahem smily) perry and ballerina (ahem kim) with black tutu. They made me do a michael phelps. Embarrassing i swear. So our original prom dress shopping date because try-strange-stuff date:D Fun though hehehh guilty pleasure at trying things i'll never dare to try. Plus those approximately 8 inches (i bet) heels that made my feet feel like they were going to do a forward roll anytime. But next friday's really really going to be a prom dress date:D sleepover ooooh can't wait(:

Belated racial harmony day(: More on fb.

Hooked on Adele and her chasing pavements. And make you feel my love. Good ear candy. Not overly commercial thank goodness for that(:

I'm burning up out burning up out for you exams baby!

HAhahha yes so the burning out time seems to have arrived! Knew i shouldn't have started so early gives me false confidence. What was that terms for it cow's heart? Goat's heart? Chicken's heart? Whatever it is, some heart la. Oh well i shall continue working tomorrow. Today i woke up at 730 with every intention to study. And i woke up at 730. Except i started attempting to braid my hair, playing the guitar, sitting down for 15 minutes only to get up again, and finally decided to have breakfast first. After which i tried to study again but nooooooo. Finally settled down sometime during evening(: But harry potter called and the movie was badddddd. Bad i tell you, bad. So yeah came home saw a lizard running around my sink, in circles, mind you, freaked out as usual. Came online, played the guitar again, and basically wasted my whole day away:D I was more scared for prelims last week than i am now for some strange reason? Come back fear i need you to push me on! I feel incoherency setting in already.

Yesterday was fun stayed back after school to study with kim and smiles, did a little ss but then we talked about deep stuff which made us feel wise and mature(: Played ball after that with them and i'm terribly unfit:/ Got a headache last night. I attribute it to the deep-thinking:D I wish school taught us more than what are in the textbooks. Which is why i love english lessons(:

Eyelids shutting, goodbye world, till prelims do us part. By the way, i had no idea if that made sense and i tried to think if it did but then i got tired of thinking so, pardon me.

Today is a good day(: And it's been a long time since i've said/thought that. School was surprisingly less brain-draining today probably because we spent our extra 50minutes just filing:D After school went to eat with elle where i watched her struggle with the chicken in the porridge because it required chewing. Went back to class, and it was a very productive 1 hour plus or so, until....the quoting started. Then yup spent about half an hour laughing till my cheeks ached and my stomach started complaining from the workout.


In other news, prelims are in two weeks three days. Freak out, turn 10 circles on the spot, hyperventilate. There, all better(:

Discovered Uncle Kracker accidentally just now when Mad Jack's had 91.3 on which i never ever listen to and thank goodness they did(: Smile makes me smile and this was probably one of the best things that happened to me this week(: Go go go listen to it smile by uncle kracker. Follow me is really good too:D I'm so happy now i haven't been discovering good music recently but whoooo uncle kracker! Okay i'm gushing. When i gush, you know i'm gushing about something worth gushing about.

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile


Good music makes me smile(: (Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2psIiVw9Zog & http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.artistalbums&artistid=1808671&ap=0&albumid=12604431 <-- Good ear candy)

They're so inspiring(: Makes me wanna be a kid 10 times over.


He's awesome! He makes me melt at 0:55 and 1:50 and 3:48. My favourite is 3:48 please please please go watch vera never recommends bad stuff(: So yup i've been hooked on ps22 they're the coolest choir i've ever met even cooler than uc men's and that's saying something. And justin's da bomb (nope i don't usually say that but JUST(in) for him:D) Pardon my pun i can't resist. Studying makes vera talk strangely. It makes her talk in third person cause she thinks it's cool.
(check out my PEEL)

I realise i spent about half my holidays slacking and half studying but it feels like i spent so much time studying cause time passes so slowly while i'm studying): Left with two chem papers, physics data-based, bio last-few-chapters questions, and a few scraps here and there. School's starting soon omg 3 more days then it's gonna be almost non-stop mugging till 13nov>:( Bleah. Yay at least there's no assembly:D This is like my soliloquy. Which is really, really sad. Ps22 makes me wanna go carolling and so does kinna grannis go listen to her she's nice to listen to i'm so over miley cyrus. Kinna grannis actually reminds me a little of joni mitchell(: Plus she's half japanese exotic much. I feel like spending a day at some alfresco place people-watching. I'm reduced (by H, C and CO) to people-watching at the library which basically means watching people mug. No fun. Stupid woman next to me kept laughing/snorting for like 2 hours straight and was so damn distracting i felt like turning to her and saying, "Can you please stop snorting?" I'll be memorising, A spit is a long, (snort) narrow ridge of sand with (giggle) one end attached (snort) to the mainland and the other end extended (laugh) seawards. My dad said i should have laughed really loudly, HAHAHAHHAHA, at her. Comfort food for the moment: Haagen daaz in the fridge - Macadamia nut brittle. I eat it every night to reward myself for a day of studying. And to accompany my 9 o'clock show which is really exciting:D

My major update doesn't have any major happenings. My life is so monotonous, i'm reduced so finding adventures in my dreams: Last night's dream, my parents found me a date for prom!?!? The night before, i was skiing in korea. Strange dreams these few nights i swear it's my mind's way to make up for the lack of adventure. Not that i'm complaining it's quite exciting to wake up and remember my dreams-.-


but that was when i ruled the world
