Holding It

Been so busy these few days, leaving school only after 6... Sometimes 6.30... All in the name of trying to fulfill the requirements of passing my Theatre Arts IB course. Mum won't understand... Never will coz she doesn't want to understand. And she says that by joining this play, I have ruined my studies. And frankly I say, WHAT THE FUCK.

you don't know something, just SHUT UP. Or you could try to ASK nicely about it. Okay? SEEK UNDERSTANDING. That's something else that we lack in society nowadays too.

This is not the only thing that made me pissed today. I would type everything down if I had time and if I had the patience with my iPod's keyboard... But I have neither. So yea... Gonna leave it here today and not bore you with the shit that's in my mind. Cheers



"It's days like these where I try to be considerate to others and bottle everything inside... Holding back those tears you know so well..."

I'm In

So today was the selection/audition for the Italian-based comedy play. And...

The Marco Lully guy, (you can google him) did some exercises with us, and then selected us from there.

So then, when they were calling out the names, I was not chosen :( SIGH

So I went up to Mrs Arrol and asked whether it was too late to volunteer for backstage roles for the other school plays. And she told me to wait... and then she wrote my name down on the list of the chosen ones for the Commedia play (the one I just auditioned for). I WAS IN!!! WOOOOOO!!

1st session, it was tiring man... But fun nonetheless. Omg, Indiana was FRIGGIN funny when we did the still frame improvisation exercise. LOL!!!! Long story, will tell you another time. HAHAHAHA

So anyhow... OH YEA, Free Period in the library was FRIGIGN HILARIOUS TODAY. OMG... LOL. Okay, I went in, turned on the comp, and sat down, then I heard someone singing "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith, turned around and saw Anders and he was like,"FINALLY!" lol... Ya lah I deaf lah. So then I realized I forgot my student number... which is this 4-numbered code. LOL. I was like, crap. So I asked Supriya to log into the comp for me. Lol...

So it was Min, Anders, and me sitting with the comps. And Supriya, Jivika, and Ish sitting round the table behind us. We were making SO much noise and laughing SO bloody much, we were shush-ed by the librarians like, 3 times I think. HAHAHAHHAA. Half the time, we were commenting on Min's british accent HAHAHAHAHA... Min Tse Chong you funny girl... Oh, and Anders and I tried to speak in Hokkien to Min... But Anders only mostly knew the vulgarities so I was like,"That's only vulgarities!!! HAHAHAHAHA"

Before tutor group, Min saw me and he started dancing one part from my Taiwanese dance from UN Night. Broke out laughing and I was like,"it's getting old man.." Then he said,"but it's funny!" Then some silence as the rest of us waited to enter the room (sm students were still using it). Then he said,"you should join Lion Dance!" I was like,"@_@ noooooo" *shakes head vigorously* and he was like,"Since you're addicted to it" I was like,"no I'm not. hahaha"

Well... that's Monday. Oh, and they noticed my braces were off. Lol... Only a handful of people commented on that. Hahahaha... Sigh... Major rehearsals tmrw, Wed, thurs, Fri, Sat, Mon and Tues... 3/3.30-6.30pm for weekdays and 10am-1pm for the Saturday. And next Wednesday and Thursday is already the performance for the play. LOL. DIE LAH.

Scared Shitless

My mum is askin me to do something that will scare me shitless. And I don't wanna appear like the person who is digging up the past. But it is a past that my mum will keep noticing unless he changes...

Man I regret what I said last January =.= DAMN IT. It was the start of ALL THIS. URGH.

And I don't wanna seem like the bitch who has an attitude problem. By showin him that attitude, I'm inda BEING like him.

But mum says that as a girl, I should be strong. I should not let people play me around like this. And she has more experience than me o.o Humph... And that guy... No one knows him like I do. And he DOES NOT have the right to look at me like that (or so mum says), and he also DOES NOT have the right to treat my mum like that (or so mum says)... and he DOES NOT have the right to IGNORE my mum. Mum is still much older than he is, and as manners, he SHOULD acknowledge him...

Well, he's at church right now with his family... And I am at home typing this post... Darn it. I wonder how I'm gonna do what she's askin me to do... She said, "If you guys end up arguing, FINE! He's not even worth to be your friend then."

Yeah. But he's not gonna read this post. So I don't think he cares. Oh well... When the time comes, I WILL dig up the past... I WILL make him listen to me. I WILL make him care. And then I'll leave him.



I don't think this post makes any sense to any of you...

Fun Day

So today was Jeff's b'day. Happy 18th Birthday... AGAIN. Lol.

So, went to his house after SAT class... me, Christly, Elisa, and WeiWei. Reached his place, Clement, Daniel and Stephen were already there! o.o SO THEN, we waited some more. Christy and I were teaching each other guitar. I was teaching her I'm Yours and Lucky. And she was teaching me the intro of More Than Words. Haha... Dang... so hard

Then, we headed downstairs for the barbecue! Soon, Ko Jetan, Ko Sandy, Ko Andi, Chris, Stephen T, Rahmat, and Philip came :) WOOOO!! And AWESOME MEAT! I ate 2 slices of beef and 2 chunks of awesome chicken XD I was full already o.o Ate 2 sausages, 4 satays, and 1 prawn on a stick. Oh, and one slice of beef too... yeah...

Sang some JM songs with Christy... lalala... Took some pics...

Keren and Feb and Steven A. came later.

Then ate some more...

Then went to play pool at the clubhouse! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! It was friggin funny XD SO many people queuing up to hit the white ball. It was my first time playing pool so I don't know all the names and terms sorry. So then, I managed to get 3 chances to hit the ball with the stick (dunno what to call it). It went into the whole twice (WOOOO!!!) The 3rd time, I accidentally SCOOPED the ball up. And it FLEEEEEW across to the other side where all the guys were. And they were shouting. Omg, DAMN FUNNY!!!! Happened to Christy and Ko Jetan. Lol. But Ko Jetan's was an exception coz his ball got in. Lol...

Fun... :P

I Dreamt

I dreamt I was in someone's arms

And he held me tight

And he held me close

He brought his lips on mine

It felt wonderful

It felt like home

But sadly

I don't remember who it was

I feel vain

BRACES OFF!!!

<3? or no <3?

Went out with my mum on Thurs... Watched Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs! FUNNY! Basically slapstick comedy. Haha :D

Also, she told me something about what love is. She said that when you really love someone, you put a lid on ALL the negative things about that person (that's why it's dangerous). You are totally blinded. And I asked her, "so you're saying that if I still notice any negative things about someone, it's not love?" and she said yes.......... Okay I think it's partially true. At the same time, I think that was crap. Firstly, she never felt that kind of love with my dad ANYWAY. It was more of the I-wanna-get-married-so-do-you-so-let's that kind of thing... And besides, what about noticing the negatives of that person for the good? Like, helping him stop smoking? Help him control his anger management problem? That kind of thing......

oh and guess what. In the same day, I saw this phrase 2 times, in the same mall, in different stores, on different products... I think it was followin me... tryin to tell me something... Oh well, I welcome it :D haha, so here's the phrase:

Not only do I love you, but you are my best friend.



ain't that sweet :D

Holidays...

So apparently I lost 2 kg in the last month... NOT ON PURPOSE. omg. So weird... Even though I'm eating pasta like, 4 times a week =.= wth man...

I've got to work on my next Lit presentation!! Urgh. No idea how I'm gonna start :( At least I've finished reading the next play we're gonna analyze in class... sigh

And I've gotta contact Khushnaaz to work on the narration for our scene in Theatre Arts. BLAH!

And I gotta back to STC one of these days to get my NYAA booklets back so I can submit them in UWC.

Oh and guess what, I HAVE GOTTEN IN CONTACT WITH MY KINDERGARTEN + GRADE 1 TEACHER FORM INDONESIA!! He's this American guy, bald head, lots of rings and bracelets, and 2 tattoos that I know of. Haha. And now he's teaching in Singapore!! SO AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!! TOTALLY gonna find him with Melita!! Melita was also from my old school :D And we both moved away within the same year. HEEHEE

A lil sth from Charlie Brown:
If I start writing now
When I'm not really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is no good at all.
I'll get a fresh start tomorrow
And it's not due till Wednesday
So I'll have all of Tuesday
Unless something should happen.
Why does this always happen,
I should be outside playing
Getting fresh air and sunshine,
I work best under pressure,
And there'll be lots of pressure
If I wait till tomorrow
I should start writing now.
But I if I start writing now
When I'm nbot really rested
It could upset my thinking
Which is
No good at all.

Sweatfest

Today, I went for the first day of the SAT Prep Course. and we had the diagnostic test. Me and Feb were practically freezing and dying during the 4.5 hours were had to spend there. Lol But the teacher Jeremy was really funny XD haha

So then, I came home and went for my swimming lesson. Teacher was perfecting my backstroke. Coz I learnt it off the tv (cough cough) hahaha then she led me step by step through the basics of backstroke. Omg... my legs were getting tired @_@

So then came home, showered, and ate. Then went to Ulu Pandan Road's Pine Grove Condo to play bball!! Hahaha. When I reached, I was the only girl there. Lol. There were these 2 guys who live there. The chinese guy was FRIGGIN PRO. OMG. DAMN AWESOME AGILITY. The other was an Indian guy. He commented on my name (coz Pak Romy told him) and my accent. Haha. He thought I must have studied in Canada or the US before. lol *flattered* XD

Then some guys from rmj came! WOOOO!! And then more from Pemuda. Wheeee!! I played 3/4 matches. And when I scored the first time, everyone cheered!!! LOL. You know why? Coz I missed like, 3/4 times before that. Hahaha. And Ko Wilson was like,"Lovely!! come on!" Even Pak Romy came up to my dad and said,"I think you gave your daughter too much milk. She has too much strength so the ball keeps going over the hoop. hahahha" Lol... I can't shoot properly under pressure. YEAH I KNOW I SUCK AT BBALL. Come on, they removed the damn hoops from STC =.= STUPID.

So then, last match I played was with some Pemuda guys. I was the only girl in that game. I was on the Rmj side. It was super fun! lol. I had reached around 8pm. I left at like, 9.45pm. Late night bballing :D hahaha. People from my church were practically dominating the bball court XD HEEHEEHEE I was sweating so much. lol.

So the last match, after my team scored 7 pts, we changed teams. So the spare team for my side came up and we sat down. Haha. Rafael was like,"so, how are you preparing for choir tmrw? hahaha" lol... And Ko Wilson helped us all to take pics :D WOO!! Gonna bug him to put them up on fb ASAP! lol

Post UN Night/Last Day of School

Fellow people at my lunch table! If you didn't know, UN Night is like Racial Harmony. So we could wear something related to our nationality or country. Or wear the flag's colours :)

Constance!!! Such loyalty to Singapore. haha *salutes* She was the organiser for the Singapore foodstall XD

Nicholas. The half Japanese half British dude. A fellow friend in Math and Origami!! hahaha He wanted me to pay him $2 for taking this pic of him. Lol

The Singaporean foodstall! The guy in white you see on the right is Yu Jie. He's the Singaporean who studied in GuangZhou, China. So you can imagine the accent he has when he speaks Chinese. It's AWESOME. And he was managing the bean soup thingy for the whole night! Haha. Such dedication XD I asked him today, he said he sold about 17 bowls. Not bad! lol And he's right, Singapore has no culture. So he wore his school uniform shirt with jeans, and a red shirt underneath. Haha, such simplicity :)

ALRIGHT. Some stuff about UN Night. I was gonna strangle Sharley coz she didn't take enough photos. But oh well, I can ask for some from Christina's mum who sat in the front row for the 2nd show. Hahaha.

Before the show: Preparations in the Small Hall with the Lion Dancers. Nearly got deaf again. Pity Min sprained his knee on Wednesday, so he couldn't be the lion head. AWW. Then went to the Main Hall for a quick meeting with the teachers and the crew. Blah blah blah. And then we went to do our other stuff. Calculations of the timings... We had 50 minutes from the start of every show to do our own stuff before we had to actually get our costume on. Isn't our Taiwanese dance just perfectly placed? Hahaha. Before the show, we wore all the stuff that we rented and took a group shot. Anushka forgot her socks =.= NVM THOUGH. hahaha. But we didn't wear everything for the show. Heehee



4.15pm Show: Came on stage... the lights didn't come on for like, the first 5-6 seconds. We were already dancing. I was like,"dammit, the lights aren't on!!" I'm a very verbal person. I talk all the time. Sometimes, I talk without thinking first. What a sucker. lol. So yea, lights came on, blah blah blah, moved to the front of the stage, and OMG. MR LUMB (my math teacher) WAS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT WITH HIS DAUGHTER. And I screwed up the squats in my panic. LOL.

6.15pm Show: Lights still came on late. Christina's mum took photos for us! She was sitting RIGHT IN FRONT. RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE. LOL.

8.15pm Show: We planned to do something crazy since it was the last show. Like maybe rip open our shirts or the wrap-over skirt (we had clothes underneath). Then someone reminded us that Jess didn't have a shirt on underneath. LOL. Then we thought about doing some other crazy stuff. Hahaha... Or like untying the rope and throwing it at the audience. Or... jumping off the stage and shout OOOHGAAAHH OOOHGAAAHHH!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA But we didn't. OH WELL. Andrea kinda screwed up the last part of the dance. When we went backstage, the guys from the Korean dance (the finale) gave us high fives. And I walked right into a drum. LOL. So embarrassing. Hahaha. Lucky it was dark, so they don't know which one I am. HAHA XD

Sharley came back with me after the last show. OH OH. I helped with the Indo food stall if you didn't know. We ran out of satay. Which was insane. Hahaha. And then we ran out of cups for the drinks, and we still had 2 buckets worth of drinks left XD But in the end one girl managed to get more from the HomeEc room :D Saved the day! Lol


TODAY. Last day of school before the 2-week holiday starts. Min left halfway during the day!!!! So I missed him during B&M class :( Aww. Couldn't tlak to him about UN Night. Dang. Oh, went to Math class, and my seat is right in front of Mr Lumb, so when I sat down, he was grinning at me.
Me: I saw you at the front row during the first show!
MrL: yes. You were in the dance. I saw you
Me: Taiwanese!!

Hahaha. And then Maithreyi and Anders tried to tell Mr Lumb that they were in the US hip-hop and breakdance part. And Mr Lumb didn't notice them. Lol. And they were using so much effort to try to fish some memory out of him. Hahaha. Too bad Mr Lumb only spotted Anders at the last part when he took off the mask and cap. XD And this Indian guy told Mr Lumb about Maithreyi, "she was the shortest one!" Whole class was going, "OOOOOOHH!!!!" And Maithreyi gave this shocked look and said, "WHATEVER! I OWN YOU FOR THE ASSESSMENT!!! HAH!" lol

Insane school :P HOLIDAYS!! YEA!! AND I'LL GET MY BRACES OFF ON THE 21ST!! WOOOOOOOOOOO

Busy Busy Busy

Omg, this week has been CRAZY. Firstly, I was panicking on Monday because I had miscalculated my time during the weekend, and I had not even started on my Theatre Arts portfolio or my english poster. Came back from UN Night Tech Rehearsal at like... 6.45. Had tuition, then rushed my Theatre Arts portfolio... 2 hours... went to sleep. Tuesday, came home at like... near 7, cancelled tuition and piano lesson so I can continue my portfolio for another hour. Then I started on my english poster... Eventually I only went to sleep at like, 12am today. Urgh. Luckily, I could wake up at 8 today :D heehee

Came to school, and realised that I left my TOK file at home (which included my essay that was due about 2 weeks ago). I ran to the library and printed out a copy =.= And then I realized I forgot to do my TOK homework from last week (like wtf). But I had no time to do it coz I had a dodgeball match during lunch. Ehem... I kinda pulled a muscle in my arm from yesterday's UWC Day... I carried a stack of 3 chairs and walked like... 150 metres with it... Or maybe less, but it felt far. I totally suck at throwin the ball =.= Dang... Min and this other Indian guy, and Benjamin were being the awesome ones. Lol. Then us 3 girls just dodged the balls thrown at us... HAHA

Okay. Back to the point. Today, I came home slightly past 7. SO FRIGGIN TIRED. It's so friggin HOT today. OMG. THEY ARE INSANE!!! We performed for the middle school kids and the foodstall people jsut now. Then I helped paint the banner for the Indonesian foodstall tomorrow. GAH. Oh well, gonna see Sharley tmrw :D Yay! One STC person XD

Hmm... Oh yea. I got some Assessment results back. omg... FAILED ENGLISH. KNN... I've never written commentaries before. And I failed both =.= Well, the teacher said she would give me a Grade 5, because I am like, somewhere on the borderline, but she can't give me a split grade. So it's either a 4, or a 5. She explained that if she gives me a 5, i have to face the risk that I might get a 4 next half term, and it would like I deproved. Which is worse. So I told her to give me a 4, so that at least I can work hard, and it would look better if I got a 5 next time. I wasn't the only one given this decision... 4 other people did. Sigh... I totally suck man :(

I got a grade 5 for Math. Because even though I got 7 (highest grade) for both homework, I got a 5 for my test. And Mr Lumb took 25% from homework and 80% from the test... so yea... pulled down. urgh. (psst, I think Anders FAILED). Lol

And... I got a high 6 for Chinese! WOOOOO!!! Hahaha. :P Of course, Yu Jie (THAT GENIUS!! I CAN CALL HIM THAT HERE COZ HE'S NOT READING MY BLOG ANYWAY. LOL) got a 7 for math, and probably a 7 for Chinese too... THAT GENIUS. He'll tell me to shut up if he hears me. HEHEHE. I shall annoy him in Chinese class tmrw.. MUAHAHAHA

Oh and Keren, I TOLD ALLEN ABOUT THE GIRL IN THE BUS!!! He was nice about it. Just smiled and nodded. Lol. He didn't look embarrassed or anything!

Wow... this post is long... TOMORROW IS UN NIGHT!! FINALLY!!! Omg... 3 shows. Urgh. I'm gonna wear a batik top and black pants tmrw to sch. INDO YEA!!!

Oh shit. I might get my assessment grades tmrw for Theatre Arts and Bio. OMG. Darn it @_@ I'll probably get a 4 for Bio =.= Coz it SUCKS. Might now about business and Management on Friday... Pretty confident about that one... definitely a pass :)

Well... will take pictures tmrw for UN Night yea? :D Will post em up on Friday probably heehee

Where Will You Be?

When the sky turns dark
where will you be?
When the stars have stopped shining
where will you be?
When the moon has stopped glowing
where will you be?
When the sun has stopped burning
where will you be?

Will you be beside me
or with your family?
Will you join up with us
or with your friends?
I'll be here waiting
for you to come

When the seas have risen
where will you be?
When the mountains have awoken
where will you be?
When fire rains from the sky
where will you be?
When the lands have parted
where will you be?

Then end is coming
don't you see?
The worlds are rising
don't you hear?
I'll be here waiting
for you to come





A lil spontaneous poem I just wrote from the top of my head... haha :P Do you know what I'm sayin?

My Little Andrew B.

So today, on the way home, Andrew wanted to sit next to me :D Yay! I love that lil kid, SO CUTE!! Yeah... they're cute when they haven't reached puberty. Ain't so cute after that. lol

So we were kinda bored. And he said he wanted to prank people with my phone. So... after scrolling down my name list, I chose Justine as the FIRST candidate for his lil joke. Turned out more fun than I thought. Hahaha

"hello, yea.. I found this phone on the floor.... Who is the owner of this phone?... I found this phone on the floor, do you know the owner of this phone?.......... oh, ok. thanks" *looks at me, gives back my phone and laughs hysterically... and SO FRIGGIN LOUD* "omg, your friend is so stupid!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Next candidate... KEREN!!
A: "hello, I found this phone on the floor... Who is the owner of this phone? I found it on the floor, can you tell me the name of the owner?...... No I don't study at UWC. I'm from Chua Chu Kang.... Umm, can you hold on for a sec? *asks me whether he should stop. and I tell him to go on* Yea... oh... okay..." *asks if he can stop coz Keren's getting all serious or something, so I take the phone from him*
Me: Keren... KEREN. Lovely here
K: oh. my. God. walaooooooo... Lovely... why meeeeee!!!! why meeeeeeeee!!! eeeeee...... *and so on... yea. lol*

Umm, near some bus station place near Buona Vista.... My dad and I were walking down the street and we found it on the floor....... he's buyin an ice cream right now... He's buying an ice cream and I'm going home... oh... UWC? I think there's one in my country..." *tells me he wants to stop*
Me: Jos *breaks into laughter*
J: hello?
Me: JOS!!! *breaks into more laughter* Omg... did you know you jsut got tricked by a 10-yr-old? HAHA. Man
J: *a moment of silence* omg!!! hahahaha
Me: HAHA XD Remember Andrew that lil boy?
J: Umm, you mean the one you talked about?
Me: yea, the one on my bus. hahaha
*and the convo continuted for a lil longer. haha*

So then I smsed Justine: Did you know you just got tricked by a 10-year-old?

And a moment later, she calls me,"what, are you serious? omg... I was like wth, Lovely lost her phone? *convo continutes* Omg Lovely. But at least you made me laugh. Which is a good thing since I have O levels.. the stress you know... But the next time you're gonna do that, it better be reall okay Lovely? It better be real. Hahaha"

Some Monty Python (to relieve the O lvl stress)

Michael: Ahh.. very passable, this, very passable

Obediah: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier, eh Josiah?

Josiah: You're right there Obediah

Eric: Who'd a thought 30 years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking chateau de Chassilier?

Michael: Aye. In them days, we'd a'been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.

Obediah: A cup o' COLD tea.

Eric: Without milk or sugar.

Josiah: OR tea!

Michael: In a cracked cup, and all

Eric: We never had a cup. We used to have to drink it out of a rolled up nespaper.

Obediah: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

Josiah: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.

Michael: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me,"Money doesn't buy you happiness."

Eric: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHING'. We used to live in this tiny old house, with greaaaaaaaaaaaat bit holes in the roof.

Obediah: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in on room, all 26 of us, no furniture. Half the floor was missing and we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of FALLING!

Josiah: You were lucky to have a ROOM! WE used to have to live in a corridor!

Michael: Ooohhhh! We used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House?! Hmmph.

Eric: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, it was a house to US.

Obediah: We were evicted from OUR hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!

Josiah: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a 150 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road.

Michael: Cardboard box?!

Josiah: Aye

Michael: You were lucky. We lived for 3 months in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at 6 in the morning, clean the nespaper, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down the mill for 14 hours a day week in week out, for sixpence a week. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!

Obediah: Luxury! We used to have to get out of the lake at 6 in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, work 20 hours a day at the mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!

Josiah: Well of course, we had it tough. We used to have to get up our of the shoebox at 12 o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues. We had to eat half 2 bits of cold gravel, worked 24 hours a day at the mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in 2 with a bread knife.

Eric: Right. I had to get up in the morning at 10 o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of cold poson, work 29 hours a day down mill, and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."

Michael: And you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'

All: They won't...

Adapting...

So I'm in school right now... Killing time till 4.30pm so that I can ride the activity bus home. Yay... =.=

A lil update about my in the new school. I'm performing in the Taiwanese Aboriginal dance... and Christina put my in the front row, apparently right smack in the middle. HAHAHAHAHAHA. And I'll be selling Indo Satay at the Indonesian foodstall!! WHEEEEEE

Hmm, I just submitted my drawing to the school newspaper: The Other Side Newspaper. Hehe... I'll take a picture of it when it's published :)

Oh, ate at Chili's on Monday night. I had the New York Strip this time :P MAN I LOVE THE STEAK. And my bro was like,"start acting like a girl... my gawd..." HAHAHAHA.

OH OH, TOK lesson today was really fun! We came into the classroom, and Mr Meredith told us to go out of the classroom and just walk around school for 15 minutes. Omg. LOL. So Nic, Ainsley and I did. And we returned to class JUST on the 15th minute. It was his idea as an introduction to the chapter of Paradigms. Huahahahaha...

Oh well, the bell jsut rung. 3 more minutes to kill. I think I can leave in a bit :P See ya round.

Theme For A1 Higher English

Kate Levy said,

"Go home and write
a pastiche tonight.
And let that poem come out of you--
Then, it will be true."

Other students might find this simple,
But to others like me, imagination is not so ample.
Teachers take it that we understand
And at times I feel they just command.
Do they really want us to practice our writing skills?
Or are they just targeting us for their kills?
But still, my teacher gave this to me
So I shall sit here and dive into my mind’s poetic alley

So is it too much to hope
Or is it in the dark I grope?
A world free of prejudice
And eventually spare us the malice
My parents often say, “don’t mingle with
Those white friends and keep a width”.
It’s “freedom, equality and brotherhood” that we promote
But it’s just Johnson Bunche that I quote.
I am the product of my heritage
But I never consider it as bondage.
Nothing can hide the truth about my roots
‘Cause it’s as obvious as my yellow rain boots.
A yellow that matches my skin.

With high education and costly dressings,
Fellow yellows make opulent surroundings.
I watch those crystal diamonds shimmer
And snigger when they don’t have their glamour.
What we are we cannot hide.
It is only to themselves that they have lied.

If we look at this wider picture,
Aren’t we all one another’s brother?
You and I live in a multi racial country, Levy,
Yet I feel that attitudes thrown at me are empty.
How is it that people still feel that way in this new age?
And before I fill this page,
This I say as my final wish:
This country should stop pretending to be Amish.

This is my page for A1 Higher English.

So anyhoooooo... my mum managed to get my piano tuned yesterday. AWESOME. Although, I've not tried it out yet :S I hope the pedal was oiled... coz the squeeky sound it was giving out was SERIOUSLY annoying... disrupted my concentration when I was playin the piano...

And the tuner said that the piano was already built in a way where the sound is kinda sharp... not the # kind of sharp... if you know what I mean. And he can't change it :( Oh well... stupid Samick piano =.=

Dang it. Today is gonna be a BUSY BUSY day... I have the UN Night dance item thingy that we gotta show the teachers... And, gotta rush to rmj after that coz I'm the MC for today @_@ And... gotta reach home by 6pm... coz Fenessa is comin over at 6.30pm, so that we can watch the Charlie Brown Broadway Musical at LASALLE at 8pm. But it's free seating, so we gotta go there at 7pm. AAAAHHHHH!!!!! RUSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Workload Coming

So it's another one of those nights typing away on my iPod again... sigh.

More work has been piling up. What do you expect? This is the 5th week already. In an hour and it will be Friday. I had my math test, didn't score too well. 20/32 :( I can totally do better than that!!!!! urgh. I should have gotten a Grade 7 (like that smartass boy sitting next to me). I got friggin careless mistakes. So annoying. And I had my Bio test today. I think I'm so totally gonna flunk that. I mistook Glycosidic Bonds for Ester Bonds. And Hydrogen Bonds for Glycosidic Bonds. wth man...

Theatre Arts made my day though. We experimented with face paint! haha. So I based my clown face on a lemur's face, combined with the designs of a White Face clown and a Harlequin Clown :D mine kinda turned out scary. I took some self-portraits (which you guys will see another day) haha... I guess I'm gonna get some shut eye now... gah... stupid acne genes =.=
