fighting for what i want /5:32 PM
OMG can you believe it? Just 2 more days to the theatrical release of The Final Destination! :D :D
Anyway, I can't believe what I did. I actually sent e-mails to MDA to inquire about the fact that The Final Destination was rated R21 and even shamelessly asked if the rating could be lowered to M18 or even NC16. The MDA guy decided to call me since he figured that anything he typed in the e-mail might lead to confusion and I could ask him any questions on the spot too. Omg I can't tell you how nice he was! :) He was so patient and detailed in his explanation, as to why it's rated R21 at first because of the sex scene inside. However, the distributors realized that the main premise of this show wasn't about sex but about how Death comes back to claim the lives of those who cheated Death, hence decided upon a commercial decision. That is, the entire sex scene was removed and given an M18 rating instead for gore content.
THANK YOU! :D :D Okay, so my life is saved now. And my crisis doesn't seem all too bad now. But age wise... Hmm. I thank Alvin Lim beforehand first, for whatever reason I think if you are smart enough you should be able to guess. I won't say it explicitly, for whatever reasons or trouble I may land myself into.
Wish me luck kae in my venture on friday! Amin, I can't wait to watch the movie and I know you are dying to watch it too! It's the final instalment and in 3D! Let's enjoy the finale for our favourite hit series! :D
Meanwhile, some coolio pictures. Haha. :D

MY LIFE IS GONE /1:35 PM
I no longer have to do a countdown. The only countdown I'll be doing is to Prelims and 'A' Levels.
THE FINAL DESTINATION IS OFFICIALLY RATED A FREAKIN' R21 FOR SEXUAL SCENES AND GORE. FUCK.
Who the fuck wants to watch people have sex in this movie?! That's not the main point of this movie! I hate this world. Not even a simple wish like this?!
And to that bloody idiot, FUCK YOU. It's not funny.
My life is gone. I don't see any point in it anymore.

confucius and confuse us /3:57 PM
We sat down for a little story from the book of Dr. Seuss for assembly yesterday. Yes, we did indeed. Lol. Our deputy headmaster decided to read us something from it to start off his presentation, which was basically about preparing for the 'A' Levels. Agh. I've always feared these 2 words. I knew I would have to face it sooner or later (sooner I mean). Still, it was funny, for the fact that I felt like I was a primary school kid all over again listening to an adult reading me a story. HAHA.
Lol. This school is really making me laugh out whatever laughing sense I still have in me. A little brainless, but still makes for much fun. LOL.
Mr Ali: "What's the joke, Fiona? Tell me. I want to hear." Fiona:(laughing uncontrollably) "No, it's ok. Never mind." Mr Ali: "Why not? If you can tell a Malay the joke, why can't you tell an Indian?"
Mr Kamal:(while marking attendance) "Jian Ying, are you back yet?" Jian Ying: "Here." Mr Kamal: "You're back! So how was your waterpolo competition?" Jian Ying: "Ok lah, we didn't win. We screwed up." Mr Kamal: "Which countries were you against?" Jian Ying: "Japan, Kuwait, Qatar..." Mr Kamal: "Wah, you all lost to Kuwait ah? Those people from the desert can swim better?"
Mr Kamal: "Why do students go to New Zealand to study? What do they study there?" Fiona: "Farming?"
Sham: "Do you have 'apparition' notes?" Zhi Wei: "Yea. Oh my god, you sound like you're learning how to do apparition."
Sham: "My friend is a beautiful woman. I'm sure she could sneak the both of us in (to the ice-cream buffet without the coupon for an offer) by flirting or something. I mean, I could do that too but I just don't want to." -- me laughing hysterically -- Sham: "What? I could, you know."
Sham:(referring to Qing Yu's blue contact lenses) "Let me see." -- looks into Qing Yu's eyes -- Sham: "Wow. You're so beautiful I wanna look into your eyes."
And here are a few quotes (i.e. funny quotes) from Confucius. Totally made me laugh my heart out. HAHA.
1. "Man who cuts self while shaving, loses face." 2. "Man who leaps off cliff, jumps to conclusion." 3. "Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient." 4. "He who puts face in fruit drink, gets punch in the nose."
And yes, our GP tutor was pretty bored during the lesson when we were listening to the Chinese rap about Confucius. So this came about:
Gosh, my brain cells. Someone save them.

the first cut is the deepest /3:37 PM
Okay, so this is not the first time I actually cut myself by accident, which makes it even dumber. -.-
So, the dumb story was about me when I was trying to cut something. Apparently I dropped my scissors and as I was picking it up, I wasn't looking where my hand was reaching for. And so, my scissors decided to swing out in full blade without my realization and as I grabbed the scissors closer, the blades made 2 deep slashes across my thigh. -.- Yes, I know. Stupid right? Gosh.
Moral of the story: Look before you do something. Or else something else drastic can happen. This time it won't just be a cut (or two).
Here is my aftermath:

10 is the magical number /2:31 PM
10 more days. Yes, just 10 more days to the release of The Final Destination in cinemas. I wonder if there's anyone else in the world eagerly waiting for the release of this movie too.
I'm SO SO SO excited! I've seen so much publicity for it around too! Movie posters at bus-stops, on websites etc! Yay they are promoting the movie. Guess it's a really popular franchise huh? Hahaha. Anyway, yes I've already arranged to watch the movie on 27 August with Amin. Yes the day of release itself. I can't wait already. I'm dying in anticipation, get it? Lol. I know it's near the Prelims, but if I don't watch it then, I would have to wait until after the Prelims, and by then the movie might not be screening already.
Many people define 'crisis' as technological breakdown, getting hit by natural disasters etc. I define 'crisis' as not being able to watch my favourite movie franchise. You should know by now that I'm OBSESSED with the Final Destination series. Yes, I confess. Please please please please pray for me that it is rated NC16 because I'm so tired of having to crash the gate for rated movies. I want to watch it with a piece of mind, and in 3D! OMG.
By the way, here's a little obsession... Check out the posters and the publicity! So cool right? XD

where got ghost? /2:24 PM
It seemed so weird, how the 7th month (i.e. Ghost month on the Chinese calendar) is about to come and our clique seemed to talk more and more about horror stories and horror films.
Today's conversation between me, Zhi Wei, Pei Khee and YuXin served as sufficient evidence. We were all talking about all the ghostly incidents we saw on TV as well as the horror films etc. hmm, not exactly advisable huh, since the 7th month is just so near.
Lol. You know I used to have this image that the ghosts would all camp at the gates of Hell every time this period and wait eagerly for the gates to be opened, following which they would all run out like small little kids excited to enter a playground. These ghosts would then float to their respective haunts and terrorize all the people there annually. Okay, yes I do have a vivid imagination, and sometimes this can get kind of irritating.
I guess this is also the reason why I have signed up for accounts on FanFiction as well as FictionPress. I like writing. Really. I love writing alot, in fact. I've always loved to just sit down and write down whatever stories or narratives that came to my head. In fact, at some point of my life, I will become a freelance writer. It's something that I think I will really enjoy doing. Yes. Writing is my life. I like writing under peaceful conditions, not under stressed conditions (read: exams). Ahh writing...
It's a pity I have to study for all my exams now. But I know I would definitely spend some quality time after the 'A' Levels to write. I know I will. :)

this is why you should never listen in on conversations on the bus /2:14 PM
OMG I swear I was merely spacing out like I normally do on the bus on friday, and these 3 girls decided to sit in front of me. Bad decision, 'cos whatever they talked about from that point of time totally made me laugh my ass off. Of course, I could burst out laughing all of a sudden, as I 'accidentally' listened in on their conversation while spacing out. I was almost dying trying to control my laughter inside. I was FOAMING I tell you. Gosh. It's a bit R-rated though.
Girl #1: "Why Jacqueline's eyes so small sia?" Girl #2: "Aiyah, dunno lei. Her eyes never open wan can. I opened my eyes when I was 6 months old already. She's 13 years and still hasn't opened her eyes." Girl #3: "Ehh, her boobs damn big also can." Girl #2: "Aiyah, whatever lah. I don't like big." Girl #3: "But big is good what." Girl #2: "Nah, I don't like." Girl #1: "Ehh, then how she do NAPFAahh? What if her boobs were the circumference of the field? Then she'll be dragging all the way." Girl #2: "Waseh, she not tired meh?" Girl #3: "Ya, then when she enter the door, she will get stuck also." Girl #1: "Ehh, like that then how she sleep?" Girl #2: "Easy. Every night before she sleeps, she just cuts her boobs. So she can fit on the bed." Girl #1: "Wahh, like that then how?" Girl #2: "Ya lor, then everyday she come to school don't have boobs wan. Just blood."
Is this the kind of conversation people have nowadays? GOSH. I seriously foamed and laughed at all the ridiculous stuff they said. And did they happen to realize that they were on the bus? I happened to look around, and sadly enough, everyone else was sleeping. And pardon the bad usage of the English language. I would prefer to put into my archive the true extent of that senseless but hilarious conversation.
Why is everything acting so funny these days? Lol.

what is wrong with this world /4:36 PM
I'm going to die of exhaustion. Try sleeping 3 hours and you'll see what I mean. Agh. I have no idea why, but I've had so much difficulty sleeping yesterday. I practically couldn't open my eyes this morning.
Anyway, in case you don't know, I hate that condescending look you gave to me just because I couldn't answer a question. That face of disgust you gave totally disgusted me. FUCK YOU.
And, people should learn some basic courtesy. You do not enter a room where someone has occupied and plant your filthy ass there as though you own the whole place without even asking if that person is still using the place. And shut your damn pie holes. You distract people who are doing serious work. Idiots. Learn some basic manners.
And hello, please refrain from complaining to me about how you missed the A grade for a subject I've never ever passed in my entire life (read: Economics). Screw you. Whatever happened to being more sensitive to your friends?!
Why is this world so screwed up? And gosh, it's the end of week 7. Dammit. So much more to study still... *sigh*

words! /4:48 PM
Hahaok thanks Zhi Wei for the 5 words! This feels almost like a narrative, something I haven't done for a long time. I really miss it though.
1. Hip-hop
Wootz. I won't say it's my ultimate favourite genre of music, but definitely one of my favourites. I just love all the rapping and coolio beats, something people like Pei Khee would label 'noisy'. But not to me. And definitely my favourite genre for dance! Haha. :D
I never actually thought I'll make it into Street Dance, but ever since I went for auditions and I got through (OMG I don't know how I even got through since I totally sucked at catching dance steps then and I was struggling so much I had to get personalized attention), I've been hooked up to Street Dance. Hip-hop is not just a culture; it's an identity. It grows onto you, just like how it grew onto me and became an indispensable part of my life. It's not some stereotyped 'coolio' culture that only people who act cool want to adopt; it's for people who ARE cool. LOL.
And yes, I remember what Sherrie was saying about hip-hop videos. "The videos are all the same. Just watch one video and you'll know. It's always about the girls and the cars. See, these are the girls. And then the car comes out too." LOLOL. XD
2. Camwhore
Why did I guess that this word would come out?
Agh. Yes, it is something I would identify with myself. I think I've officially become the guy camwhore of the entire school, and maybe the Singapore community. LOL. Yes, this is considering the fact that I have the most number of tagged photos on Facebook standing at 2739 photos (OMG really?) currently, but me being me, that is subjected to futher increases some time soon. Haha.
I love pictures, on a more 'serious' note. I mean, what's not to love about photos? I think of photos as records of my beautiful memories with all my friends, which are memoirs that I'll look back at 10 years from now and be able to smile at these photos. :)
3. Resorts
Integrated Resorts is coming to Singapore! Haha I'm going to work there in a few years man! I'll be going for my degree in tourism / hospitality! WOOHOO! :D
OMG I so want to go overseas now and retreat in a resort, letting my hair down (figuratively, since I don't exactly have long hair lol) and relaxing. I love resorts. They look so romantic *hinthint* and it's like my dream getaway. After watching all the hype about resorts on Discovery Travel & Living channel, I've become even more obsessed with resorts. I WANNA OWN A RESORT! So that I can have a yacht and all and visit my resort like it's my summer home or something.
Tourism totally rocks my socks so naturally resorts come as a complement. Haha. I miss going overseas. So much to see and all. Oh man. Now I really wanna travel. Like, NOW.
4. Twilight
Lol. The sunset scenery or that series by Stephenie Meyers? XD
I can't believe I actually like the 'Twilight' movie and am looking forward to 'New Moon". Haiz. I know Zhi Wei will shake her head disapprovingly and foam at the mere mention of 'Twilight'. HAHA.
Gosh, I hate the stupid lines though, for one. What the hell is an 'incandescent chest'? Who in the world describes chest like this? Agh. This is sick. -.- And OMG I totally foamed at the scene when Edward walks into sunlight and Bella goes "You're beautiful". GOSH. Whatever happened to true romantic love lines?
Still, I will watch it, to enjoy the rom-com as well as to laugh at all the stupidest lines in the world.
Anyway, I love the scenery at twilight. So beautiful! :D
5. Orange
Lol this happens to be the name of our dance instructor who taught us her coolio item to perform at this year's Dance Night. So much better than *ahem* (name is censored).
Anyway, OMG MY FAVOURITE COLOUR! Haha I have an obsession with orange. I like the combination of orange and white in particular. My handphone is orange (and white). My pencil case is orange-based. I have 2 orange mechanical pencils, each of different shades LOL. I have an orange-inked pen (damn coolio can!). I have orange shoelaces. I have orange (and grey) shoes. I have orange shirts. My e-mail layout colour is orange. I think I'm just as obsessed with orange the way Pei Khee is obsessed with pink. HAHA. XD
I've had so much fun doing this though. Thanks to the person who created this idea. And thanks Zhi Wei haha! This definitely cheered me up. :) I'm surprised the words 'horror movie' or 'Final Destination' or 'Harper's Island' didn't come up though. LOL.
0streetboi zac|
laugh out loud /4:29 PM
My brain cells are dying from all the nonsensical and not-that-intellectual dialogues. Someone save me. LOL.
Ms Chuah: "So, Jun Ming, who are you going to copy the (Economics) notes from? Or rather, who are you going to photocopy from?" Jun Ming: "I think either Daniel or Zhi He." Ms Chuah: (in disbelief) "Haiz. I only have one word for you. The word begins with 'L'." Katrina:(immediately) "Loser." Ms Chuah: "No, not 'loser'." Katrina: "But it begins with 'L'." Joanne: "Lazy." Ms Chuah: "No, not 'lazy'. It's a 5-letter word beginning with 'L'." Joanne: "Lousy." Ms Chuah: "No. It's a word that is both a noun and a verb." Nabilah: "Lamer." Ms Chuah: "No lah, 'lamer' is not a verb." Fiona: "Laoya(which means lousy in dialect)." -- class erupts into laughter -- Ms Chuah: "No lah, the word is 'leech'." -- class sinks into anti-climax --
YuXin:(offers Pei Khee) "Do you want sandwich?" Xin Ran: "No lah, she doesn't eat inferior food." -- Pei Khee erupts into laughter thinking that Xin Ran said she herself doesn't eat inferior food -- -- YuXin is confused -- YuXin: "Pei Khee, why are you laughing? Xin Ran was referring to you." -- Pei Khee has nothing to say and YuXin and Xin Ran end up being the ones laughing --
Mr Kamal: "Who did not do their DRQ for homework? Please raise your hand and smile at me."
Mr Kamal: "How can breastfeeding reduce total fertility rates?" Felicia:(not answering the question at all) "Breastfeeding can burn calories! They help you to lose weight." Mr Kamal: "Ok. So how can breastfeeding reduce total fertility rates, not weight?"
Mr Kamal: "So what happens when a woman breastfeeds?" Felicia: "The man wants it too." -- class erupts into laughter --
Mr Kamal: "Who do you turn to when the man won't put it (condom as a contraceptive method) on?" Zhi He: "Ghostbusters!" -- class erupts into laughter again --
Mr Kamal: "So condom is a method of contraception. So what other methods of contraception are there?" Felicia: "The permanent one (she meant the permanent contraceptive methods like sterilization)." Mr Kamal: "Wahh, permanent one (referring to the condom)ahh? Like the 24-carat one made of gold?" -- class erupts into never-ending laughter --

makes me wonder /4:18 PM
I got this information booklet yesterday with relevant details about possible scholarship opportunities. Heh. Scholarships. Even though I'm aiming to get the STB scholarship, I doubt my result will qualify me. I've got so tired talking about my grades. I'll just sum it up in 2 words -- they suck.
We had a talk by the principal during the assembly block yesterday too. Even the principal is telling us that the doom (read: 'A' Levels) is impending and that we should have already started preparing hardcore. I'm so terribly stressed out by everyone telling me about the approaching 'A' Levels. Yes. I do know that it is coming. I get tired of reminding myself too. In addition, there was a prize presentation ceremony for those who did well academically over this past one-and-a-half-year. Yay. So we basically save for ourselves the people who were smart (read: potential scholarship receivers i.e. competition!). Yes. It does suck sitting in the audience at these kinda events. I think the last time I was actually INVOLVED in a prize presentation ceremony was in secondary 2. For Japanese, which I happen to be screwing up now. Big time. Great. I love my life. -.-
On another note, our principal was telling us about how the students in our school often have good grades but do not really know what they want, which is evident through all the politically-correct answers provided during their interviews. Right. I'm the exact opposite. I know what I want, but stupid as I can be. Grr.

maybe i have some math blood /3:45 PM
By the way, I forgot to say... I THINK I TOTALLY ROCKED OUT TODAY'S MATHS CLASS QUIZ (functions, equations and inequalities)! :D So much for all my studying. I hope it pays off. --fingers crossed--
Do not judge me by this quiz. I totally suck in many other sub-topics (read: AP & GP, integration, differential equations etc...).
I need to master Maths. That'll save my 'A' Levels certificate.

L.O.V.E. is just another word i'll never learn to pronounce /2:47 PM
I fucking hate this world. I HATE HAVING TO FIGHT FOR EVERY SINGLE THING THAT I WANT.
I've done so much to try to achieve the best of everything. I give and give and give, from the bottom of my heart. I hate not having anything in return, sometimes not even the simple gratitude. I hate always being the replacement and having to play second fiddle to the things that I want. I hat being constantly maligned and accused for things I either didn't intended or even did.
I hate having to have such a pessimistic outlook on life at times. Trust me, I really hate it. I hate having nothing much to write about but rant about how my life sucks. I'm tired. But there's nothing that gives me a reason not to. Nothing has ever made me feel more confident of myself. Everything I do only serves a purpose in destroying me altogether. Everything seems so hard for me to achieve. I have received critiques for everything I do. Everything I do is always wrong. Nothing I do ends up right. AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?! When I try to explain myself, no one listens. When I shut up, people think I'm some dumbass fool.
I've learnt to control my temper since secondary 3. I thought it would be better for me. Yes, it proved to be better for me. On the outside, that is. But deep down inside, my anger just keeps building up and I never really released it. In fact, I don't remember the last time I really blew my top and erupted into a huge fury. This is coming from a person who has flipped a whole classroom table before. Yes. I FLIPPED A DAMN CLASSROOM TABLE BEFORE BECAUSE MY FRIEND TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF.
I've been dormant for almost 4 years now. I don't know when the doomsday will come, but at the rate all these things are annoying me, I WILL ERUPT SOON.
Can some bloody hell of a person understand all this shit I have to go through? I am a human being too, in case no one ever realized this fact. I have my emotional needs too, and I gave up a hell lot of it already. I'm not about to give up any much more of it. Call me selfish all you want. I think I need to start thinking about myself too.
And yes, I'm sick of the whole world telling me sorry for something that won't make me feel better or is unlikely to change the whole situation anyway. Sorry has been overused and overrated. I don't even believe the meaning of sorry now. Goodbye whatever sympathy and empathy I've had to this fucked up world.
It's always about other people. I never really get what I want at all. Why don't people start thinking about what I want? I'm tired of having to follow and wait for my turn, which probably never comes anyway.
For all those indifferent and apathetic idiots out there, it's not cool to keep breaking your promises. I thought you were my closer friends. Maybe we were never meant to be. For those who can never understand the shit teens these days have to go through, I swear I will be the next generation of parents (dad for that matter -- I'm emphasizing this for a reason) that will TRULY take into account the welfare of my skills. And stop bloody showing off how smart you are. For those hypocrites, fuck you. I have nothing else to say to you.
AND FUCK. It's prom and I don't get to sit with my girlfriend?!
This world is sick. I don't even know what my purpose in this life is anymore.

j-horror /1:43 PM
Who's the real J-Horror now? I hate having to face the J-Horror (almost every week now) and having to sit right beside this terror of my life in fear. In fear because I didn't comprehend a single word that was uttered in Japanese. In fear because I didn't know what to reply (IN JAPANESE). In fear because I have a feeling this scene will repeat itself when I'm taking my 'A' Levels oral examinations.
I hate this feeling of being so helpless, useless and hopeless. I was practically stoning there half the time, because I simply have no idea what I'm supposed to give a reply about. This scene is just re-enacting in my head again and again, this time in the actual 'A' Levels examination centre. Fuck. It's gone. I don't think anything can ever save me from the demise of Japanese now. I felt like crying at that point of time. Just me and the J-Horror. All the attention was on me. The unwanted attention. And I can totally sense the exasperation from the J-Horror, together with that dirty look one gives someone who can no longer be helped.
If only I could turn back time, I would do so many things differently. I wouldn't have taken Japanese too. Obviously I underestimated the difficulty of it in JC level and overestimated my ability to handle it. To think that 2 years ago I actually thought that Japanese would probably be the subject that would save my grades. It's totally reversed. This is gonna be one of the things I'll regret in my whole life. One of my biggest regrets.
It's no use trying to salvage anything about it now. Serves me right for trying to master another language altogether. Fuck.

hyperbolic doubt /5:35 PM
Woohoo! Finally this seemingly 'huge' project has been completed. To think that just a few hours ago, I wasn't exactly looking forward to the presentation. This is considering the fact that I've only managed to properly read my script this morning and that I've been so tired from trying to finish up my Physical Geography DRQ and essay yesterday till around midnight.
Still, it didn't seem that hard, for the fact that I'm lucky to possess this innate ability to be able to read out my script and act like I had rehearsed really well for it even though I was merely reading the script (some parts for the first time). LOL.
And I was happy for the fact that I managed to weave in a clip from Final Destination to relate to the idea of hyperbolic doubt proposed by Descartes. Coolios. :D Damn I should have promoted my favourite movie series abit more though. HAHA. And anyway, Katrina and Joanne saw right through me the minute I screened the video. They knew it was Final Destination, being me anyway. LOL.
Oh well, back to more work. So much more to do and revise. I'm mugging with Kenneth tomorrow yay! :D

our red parade /2:12 PM
So we have been excluded from the National Day celebrations by the school "a measure to control and confine the outbreak of swine flu". -.- But anyway, we didn't miss much I'm sure. In fact, I stayed back last thursday to mug in school with Zhi Wei, and we were joined by Eng Wei shortly after that.
Anyway, Zhi Wei, Pei Khee and I went out last friday to do up our GP presentation about this philosopher called Descartes and his school and thought what not. Gosh. A total dejavu of what we had to go through for 4 years under the philosophy syllabus our school has decided to integrate into our academic curriculum. And they even imposed this 'rule' that we would not be promoted provided we pass the subject. Great. Now it's back to haunt me... It's not that I don't enjoy philosophy. Just not in the midst of all this stress and gaga over mugging and the 'A' Levels. I'll probably read up abit on philosophy during my free time, given that it can be pretty interesting. Not now though.
Under the idea proposed by Pei Khee, the three of us decided to coordinate outfits and endorsed our red shirts and black jeans when we met up with one another. By the way, the red shirt was suggested by Zhi Wei, since she felt kinda patriotic at that time. Anyway, I think it's quite a cool concept (Pei Khee read this!), having not done it for such a long time. I think it makes the three of us look kind cute walking beside one another. LOL. :D
As recommended by Pei Khee (once again), we decided to camp in at the MOF restaurant at Raffles City, which apparently had no GST surcharge and free Wi-Fi. This obviously meant convenience, since we had to do our work and get something to fill our stomachs as well. So bascially my breakfast and lunch were settled there. I can't believe I went out of my house without having breakfast. Yes, that is another story too. I woke up at 7.30am that morning, but decided that it was too early for my liking and went back to laze on the bed. Bad decision, since that resulted in me sleeping all the way until 9.30am before taking just 8 minutes (record time to get ready I think) to dash out of the house in order not to be late. And OMG WE SPENT OVER $60 IN TOTAL THERE! No wonder our wallets were so empty then.
Anyway, being the people that we are (Zhi Wei would disagree), we camwhored abit, together with all the food that we ordered. OMG I LOVE THE FOOD!! :D Definitely one of the most delicious and authentic Japanese cuisines I ever tasted!
We later shifted our 'workplace' to the Esplanade Library, where we camwhored using the camera on Pei Khee's laptop with all the funny frames and special effects. LOL. And yes, there was a huge hassle over getting the wireless Internet connection in the library, which we later realized the reason why we could not get it was because Pei Khee entered the wrong username and password. Oh well, we still got our Internet connection in the end anyway.
On a side note, Pei Khee, please check your belongings before you go next time man... That Marc Jacob specs wouldn't be cheap to replace I reckon.
Whoever said we couldn't have our own red parade? Haha.
This was how much we spent (OMG!):
The three of us:

red little things /3:02 PM
I forgot my red shirt today. The red shirt that the school has printed for us for free (WOW unbelievable) to wear today supposedly for National Day. Heh. All the boys look like national flags and the girls look like Christmas trees. So essentially we have like a thousand over national flags and Christmas trees walking around school today. o.O
I had a good mind to actually go back home to get my red shirt. I only realized it when I reached school. But thank god for me being rational and sensible enough not to spend that extra money just to wear a red shirt. I saw that many people (mostly J2s) have boycotted the red shirt and just turned up in their school uniform. Maybe this is like a revolution to protest against the fact that we J2s are not invited to the school's National Day celebrations.
Agh. I have so much more work to do. I'll probably update more another time. Can't wait for tomorrow! Meeting with Zhi Wei and Pei Khee to do up the GP presentation and possibly hang out and probably watch the movie Up too! :D

more trailers that look so cool! /2:21 PM
OMG pretty cool. Yes, even though I know some people may actually kill me for saying this, but I actually wanna watch it. :D
OMG this looks so awesome. Looks like a masterpiece. I can't wait to watch it, and I hope I'll able to get out of the army already by then. --fingers crossed--
Stunning. I've always wanted to read the book, and now that the movie is going to be out, I hope it won't disappoint me. Looks so intriguing! :D
OMG. My mouth is still ajar in awe. This looks so cool. Now I have alot of movies I really wanna watch. Murder on the icefloor. Hmm...

bad day /5:24 PM
Today is such a bad day for everything. There's no incentive to come to school at all, even though I know my parents would most probably kill me if I told them I wanted to skip school for a day.
Firstly, we had to do an essay for Human Geography. Right after that, I spent 1 hour waiting for my Japanese teacher to finish his consultation sessions with 2 other students before he attended to me to discuss about my Japanese coursework, which took another 1 hour. This essentially means that my whole 2-hour block of break was sacrificed. I'm glad that I was sensible enought to go down to grab a bite before going up for the consultation session. Then, we had a batch mock prelims Economics case study test after school, of which I wasn't exactly really prepared for, given the HUGE amount of workload that I had to complete over the past weeks. Especially Japanese. It's not like I had the luxury of time to really sit down and read mynotes or something, so I basically rushed through my revision yesterday night and this morning, which amounted to only about 5 hours. That's considering the fact that the whole syllabus from J1 AND J2 was tested. >.<
I guessed the only thing I was happy about was that I got 16 out of 20 for a probability-cum-hypothesis testing quiz I did about 2 weeks ago. The Economics case study paper today was actually pretty manageable, but that's if I had managed my time more wisely and had mugged up on more content which I could definitely put into my answers. At least this gives me some hope to Economics after all since this paper we did was the paper the previous batch did for 'A' Levels. Yes, for once in a blue moon, I see hope in my Economics. But this essentially means I have alot more to go to prepare for Economics.
I think I'm more productive when I have alot of work on my hands. I type faster, think faster and basically rush more. So I get more done too. Oh well. It's a trade-off.
AND SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT PROM NIGHT? The initial problem was deciding whether to go or not, since paying $88 for an upgraded dinner and an elegant sit-down interaction and photo-taking session isn't exactly something that excites me. Instead it is more like a huge deterrent for me. Now, it isn't exactly about that. I'll most probably persuade my parents to let me go by promising to save up and pay for the dinner myself. But now, I have no idea which table I am going to sit at -- Street or class. Well, to be honest, I would rather sit with my class since I interact with them on a daily basis and besides, SOMEONE ELSE SITTING THERE IS A HUGE HUGE INCENTIVE. Thing is, there are already sufficient people (pending and confirmed) to make up a table of 12. I feel bad if I have to 'ditch' the Street table too since they are also lacking people to form a table. But there is an alternative for them too, which is to merge tables with another class, of which they have already found.
So I don't know... Even if I decide to go for prom and am allowed to, I don't know if I'll be able to find a table. AND I NEED TO MAKE A DECISION BY TODAY OR TOMORROW. Agh. Why do I always have to make decisions? Today isn't exactly a good day to make decisions too.
Tell me what to do.

better in time /5:27 PM
You know how people say about how things will always get better in time? I think that only applies to any form of medical illnesses, because that's the only thing I got better from for this whole period. My confidence level is not really back, my fitness level seems to remain as stagnant as ever no matter how many extra sets of training I do (maybe it's the intensity -- I should increase it), everything is still going as wrong as they can possibly go and I'm running out of time. Time deficit, I would call it.
Thank god for the countless blobs of phlegm I've managed to force myself to cough out. It feels much better, but it's pretty disgusting having to see all the blobs of phlegm coming out of my mouth and thinking about the fact that they've been inside for such a LONG TIME. Agh. Okay, I shall stop about the phlegm now because I'm freaking out.
But shit. I think I passed my flu to my mum. She has been so tired and sneexing her way through the weekend. Damn. I had no intention of passing it to her at all, and I was so afraid that this would happen since she has been keeping close contact with me over the past few days. Taking care of me. Wow. I can't be more grateful than that. Now that she's sick, I will have to take care of her too. I WANT TO.
So much more to study too. I haven't seen the school in its evening glory of lights for a long time, ever since I stopped going for Street I think. I miss it, but I think I'm better off without it for now. It took some time for me to get used to not going for Street, but now I have much more time in my hands. And to blog too haha. But anyway, the point is I have to study. There's so much more of content I have to cover within this short period of time, which is ticking by me as fast as it can go. Agh. >.< I have so much of memorization, understanding and application to go.
I decided to do a countdown yesterday to the number of days I have left before the 'A' Levels. Freaky. The countdown is now into double digits. 97 or 98 more days, if I'm not wrong. Gosh. I really don't know if I can make it in the end. Yet. I don't know. But anyway, I'm still going to work towards good (or better, for that matter) grades. I'm not raising a white flag anytime soon. Not ever I think.
And by the way, assembly resumed this morning. I haven't sung the national anthem or taken the pledge in god-knows-how-long. Not that I want to do it anyway. It has become such a routine that whatever national message they try to drill into us just fades into nothing. Okay, stop. I'm exercising my discipline and self-control here. I need to get back.
97 (or 98) days. I CAN DO IT!
