yesterday, the truth unfolded, many were made known their o level results, hybrid of emotions filled them within. it just fills me with inquisitiveness why two different people can react to the same kind of result with extreme difference. one may scream for joy and the other cry out of disappointment. the answer to my enquiry: different levels of expectation, from self, parents, teachers and society. it saddens me that reality is just so cruel. doing well shows your level of intelligence and brings along pride and honour. receive a result slip is below expectation and immediately you are banished out of the scene. no one is going to bother about you. you are deemed stupid, useless and forte-less. whether we like it or not, mugging and pressing on for better results are jobs allocated to students by society, at least in singapore. as for me, i must proclaim that 'i don't like it!'. but what can i do? i am a singaporean nonetheless. for those who have done well, i scream along with them. just like i am so glad for the two good looking ac barker rugger boys. they made it!!! on the other hand, i turn away and observe a moment of silence for those who didn't attain their targeted score. may the peace be with them.

prancing around the classroom while waiting impatiently for the clock to strike five isn't a great way to spend the afternoon. a chemistry test is only half an hour away, and nothing seems to get into my head. all these electrochemistry chapters are just killing me softly with every new topic. i stare at my classmates who are desperately trying their outmost to do some last minute memorising work at this very moment, then i turn back to face the computer screen again. my lackadaisical attitude is at work again! and it doesn't make me all enthusiastic that it is a science test. why the hell am i in the science faculty? that was a total mistake. i'd seriously rather squeeze some history facts into my head then 'the faraday constant is 96500 coulombs'. my integrity and responsible side of me are calling. i am going to try to bury my head in my yellow 'study guide for chemistry' book now. cheer me on! only another thirty minutes and counting. =)
oh, i am so happy to know that i am able to go for the waterpolo match on the 25th march!!! for once, i am glad that block tests do exist. haha. i am like a champagne bottle, filled with bubbles of joy, and ready to explode and spread the joy that contains inside me to everyone.

finally, the acjc fun o rama and hcjc dramafeste are over. how sad, actually. but anyway, yesterday was a great day! the weather was a little hot, but nonetheless, that didn't spoil the whole F.U.N atmosphere over at buona vista, acjc. my sister and natalie tagged along and we had plenty of eye candies to look. of course, i noticed him and many other saints. and him, being him, you should know what i mean. other saints include priyaa, junjie and her friend (with the camera), saleha and daljit. i wanna thank saleha, daljit and junjie's friend for helping me in my 'little quest' also, i met pamela!!! she's still as sweet as ever. haha. a little egoistic now, eh? well, as usual, i was at acjc not for the food and games, but for people watching. but hey, never thought it could be that fun.
the hcjc dramafeste was good. i thought the arts faculty put up the best play. it was humourous, yet thrilling and exciting at times. the 'austin powers' was so cute, as in funny and all. i didn't really like the s3 play. although the twist at the end was indeed commendable, but the story is a little too dull and draggy. it seemed to me like it would never end. although he was not there, but i didn't regret going. the arts people were very enthusiastic and fun! the plays were interesting. hmm, it all seems so cultured to watch plays. yea, i am on my way to being a cultured individual. 'on my way' is the key phrase. oh did i mention that i met petrina? well, one word to describe her - tall. no wait, very tall is more suitable.

school might be the most boring place on this lovely dovey planet earth, but external or after-school activities are just so otherwise. i was privileged to be able to immerse myself once again in the traditions and culture of the chinese people (the previous one being during chinese new year). this time, the opportunity comes in the form of a tea appreciation course. this after-school activity introduced us to a little tea chapter. and yeah, the art classes came along!! but of course, it was the small-in-number-but-powerful six 03s54 people that rocked the place, turning it upside down, leftside right. not to dampen the spirits, jincheng was a great entertainer who gave us a brief yet hilarious introduction to the whole process of brewing the tea. the rest noted that my enthusiasm was commendable! it must be my desire to be more cultured and influence of becoming more arty farty from kl that made me want to have a hands-on practice myself. haha.
the last cross country in my entire education life happened today. although i practically walked throughout the whole 3.2km journey, it was nonetheless fun and tire-less. joanna and i got to see 'xiao bao' and he got onto the same bus as we did. also, i saw my other eye candies too! that's the best thing about x-country. no books, no stress, lots of cheering and fun! after which, joanna, jasmine, gloria, guo yan, neptina and i went to cineleisure. we watched 'along came polly'. jennifer aniston was great! her figure was the dream of all gals, so voluptuous. the comedy was definitely entertaining, but a lil disgusting at times. hmm, i wonder how much risk i am exposed to while writing this. guess i got to ask ben stiller for some pointers.

i am fuming mad. the reason being the mtv asia awards!!! first of all, i must say that i actually could have gotten my hands on the red carpet passes, but my silly cousin rejected it!! duhz, that's my cousin brandon for you. sigh sigh, always so blur. nevermind that. i feel that mtv asia should go and re-check the votes, or rather, they should search their conscience again. how could it be possible that gareth gates won the 'favourite male artist' award over justin timberlake? even though i must comment that gareth sure looked so adorable last night, with his puppy eyes and all. but that's not the point. and, how do you explain christina aguilera's victory over beyonce in the 'favourite female artist' category? no way, i say. how can those two grammy award winners loose to two small fries? not possible! it is only true if the mtv asia committee did something...unfair. they simply gave the award to those present. why not rename the mtv asia awards as 'mtv asia attendance recognition awards'?
nevertheless, the performances were phenomenal. i love simple plan!!! the drummer chuck and lead vocalist pierre are just absolutely yummy!! 'i'm a dick, i'm addicted to youuuu...!' not to mention, the black eyed peas rock big time, bringing the house down, singing their number one singles 'where is the love', 'shut up' and 'hey momma'. 'shut up just shut up shut upppp...!' these two acts totally blew my mind away. even though it was already 1am when the show finally wrapped up, i was still filled with energy, singing and jumping along to their songs. i say, other than the performances, mtv asia was a failure. they are unfair. i want justin timberlake and beyonce to win. rather, i think they are the winners cos they are huge international acts!!! gareth doesn't get on my nerve so much bcos he's absolutely gorgeous and sweet. but as for christina aguilera, she'd better step aside and make way for the queen of r&b and pop - beyonce knowles!!!

'Love sees with the heart and not with mind.' - Sir William Shakespeare
happy valentine's day to everyone!! spread the love, and hope everyone enjoyed today. and yes, as stated in the quote, love is blind. so, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. not everyone shares your view of whether a person is good looking or not. that's the power of love. and 'the trouble with love is that it can tear you up inside, make your heart believe all lies and it's stronger than your pride'. (taken from kelly clarkson's 'the trouble with love') nonetheless, being loved is such a wonderful feeling. so, everyone, take this special day to reaffirm your love for that special someone. be sweet, be nice.
'A friend is one who knows who you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still gently allows you to grow.' - Sir William Shakespeare
although it was just a few hours spent at suntect with liang yi, but that's enough. she's so nice. i love her lots, but i am in no way a homosexual. i love boys, a lot, thank you. liang yi is definitely the friend sir william shakespeare described in the above quote. i would like to also take this friendship week to make a tribute to all the special people in my life:
1. God - His unconditional love and the big sacrifice He made truly touched me. I love Him lots!!
2. my mum/dad - they rock! need i say more?
3. my siblings - mornique, mandy and yi song are just about the best sibs you can ever ask for.
4. liang yi - definitely one friend that i would cherish forever.
5. karen - oooh! she'd better stay as she is, just as innocent and nice and lovable as always. great buddy of mine.
6. joanna ang/neptina/gloria/jasmine/guo yan - no doubt the group of people that make my life in sajc fun!
7. jennifer/cynthia/canice/felicia/dinah/joanna aw - accompanied me through my secondary school years. those days when we would go round the island searching for good food will always be stuck in my mind.
8. priyaa/pearline/siti - the foursome we make up. always perk me up whenever i am down. thanks mates!
9. 03s54 - this funky funky class owns a very special place in my heart, and a stable one too. 03s54 rocks!!!
10. brandon/gordon/kenneth/jun yi/kelvin/joanna ng/ning wee - my lovely cousins who make chinese new year one of the best holidays to look forward to.
11. sarah/elaine/lynette/nat wl/glenn/johnson - all these ats people make me feel a sense of nostalgia whenever i chat with them or meet them.
12. chole/clarissa/kyna/wen yi - the four out of the gang of five make me feel young and lively whenever they are around. they definitely bring the house down whenever they pop by my place. may the friendship of the gang of five live forever.
13. aunt dorcas/aunt kah ee - always giving me good advices and bringing my siblings and i out. they are the best buds of my mum, also the best family friends we've got. also, to add, they are the mummies of chloe and wen yi respectively.
14. 4 truth 2002 - it rocks doesn't it? i hope to see them again soon. a reunion i suppose? i really miss them, especially junie, serene, mery, nyuk khim, lisa, shimon, daryl and those i talk to online.
15. saints - especially jun jie, peter, kerjin and my other eye candies. haha. they make going to school not such a bad thing after all. -winks-
16. petrina - she's my sausy-kl-informant. a fun-loving, lively, smart gal who make me log-in to friendster frequently even though it lags, a lot. haha. i'll be seeing her next week at acjc fun-o-rama and hcjc dramafest. rock on gal! and i wanna thank her for everything!
17. kl - his influence is great! a dilemma i am in now because now i am not sure if i should go on and work for a science degree or an arts degree in the university. he's making me all arty farty. sigh. a great eye candy who's smart, handsome, sporty etc. -dreams on-
18. aunt karen/cassandra/calysta/caleb/uncle pat - although i don't get to see them often, but their frequent sms keeps us in contact. i truly miss them lots.
that's about all that i can think of, now, although i know it is a long list. haha. have a great valentine's day 2004. treasure all your love ones, because 'you never miss your water till the well runs dry'. (taken from craig david's 'never miss your water till the well runs dry')

happy birthday wen yi! she's one of the gals in the gang of five. the party was totally fun and loud! we enjoyed the time together to the fullest, unfortunately without clarissa due to her tuition class. we also took some neo-prints, but they are under the restricted section of my photo gallery. haha. terrible! nevertheless it was fun. a crescentian, named weiling, replaced clarissa temporarily. none of the gang of five can be replaced eh? she's so funny, and can really describe her weird teachers at school so well. now i know, i've come to conclude that the teachers in crescent girls are so weird, in one way or another.
of course, not to forget, it's the last day of friendship week. i received presents from the s.h.e (white deer, siew wen, peishan) of my class, guoyan, gloria, jasmine, neptina, karen, pearline and so on. really thank them for the wonderful additons to my valentine's day memories. oh, even ms carol wong baked brownies for my class. haha. that's how lovable my class is. in short, 03s54 rocks big time. haha. i love them lots. yes, i do.

a couple of things have been coming to my mind these few days:
1. the only resource the singapore govt has is the human resource. so, they are mining our brains like gold mines. exploiting us. what horrible creatures!!! and, being small in population, singapore still lacks the human resource. to make up for that, they import more - the foreign talents. just like importing water from malaysia, we pay a huge sum of money to these foreign expats. tsk tsk. is it worthwhile? and with birth rate dropping, the govt is becoming more desperate! more changes to the education system to come and anticipate.
2. a guy hits a screaming girl and yanks her hair, pushing her to the ground. the gal responds with a 'bastard'. so, is he mentally unstable or is he mentally unstable? *ponders*
3. the talented sexy beyonce won 5 grammy awards. since she isn't coming to the mtv asia awards, chances of her winning aren't high since awards were given to those present last year. so, if she doesn't win the mtv asia awards, does it reflect that the voters (we, the asians) do not share similar taste with music as the westerners or do we just not appreciate good music??
4. one experience extreme labour pain on april fools and is about to give birth, she rushes to the doctor immediately. will the doctor's response be 'are you kidding me? is this an april fools joke?'
5. how about the daddy? will he say, 'a son? come on, darling, try harder next time! this joke isn't working on me.'?
what crap! apparently, i think it must have been the scorching sun that burnt a hole in my head. my brain seems to be secreting 'lame juice', a lot of them. that explains why i have been failing my tests. it's not my fault. -grins-

i want the mtv asia awards tix!! i want it! i want it! anywho, to pacify myself, linkin park won't be there, so talented mike shinoda will be absent. that means i won't miss out much. *yeah, like real.*
i'm definitely looking forward to it. it's such a special day. it will be valentine's day-cum-mtv asia awards day-cum-weekend! what a day to celebrate. and yes, i will be meeting liang yi *winks*. alas! she's such a busy woman. and being in interact club doesn't help much does it?
so, what's sajc doing for friendship week you wonder? the student council set a colour for each day. yesterday was black, and today's blue. there are stores around selling items great for gifts. and, my favourite will be the dj booth. it's fun to sit in the cafe with loud banging music at the background during breaks. that makes the time pass faster, not that i am complaining about breaks. that over lessons anytime. -grins-
-This transmission has been hijacked by jincheng.. :D-
yes, jincheng. thanks for that. ooh, that reminds me of a quote: 'i'm the best i'm the champion'. i doubt anyone will get it. if you do, you get a pat on the back from me. lalalala...

my interest in the english language, whether induced or not, has increased exponentially since...last year. my level of participation in gp class, liking towards ms jillian lee and attitude towards the homework set have become so different. today, for the first time in my life, i actually checked the dictionary for the meaning of words, in the comprehension passage, i've never heard of. if it were to be last year, my attitude would have been that of lackadaisical.
yesterday, i was a bad girl, very bad girl. how could i actually rebut my dad? i was so disrespectful. the number of words i can use to describe my attitude then is prolific. what an outrageous behaviour i portrayed. to make it all comprehensible, my dad wanted me to study in the local universities. but, anyone who's anybody will know how much i hate to study here. the animosity i have towards the singapore's stressful education system is horrendous. and to take the sats exam again is just such a terrible thought. i can see white hairs appearing. i'd better go get a hair dye now. ciao.

happy birthday karen!! she's my confident, my friend, my source of comfort, the sunshine that brightens up my day. i hope she enjoys this special day she turns eighteen. fruits such as alcoholic drinks, 4d have dropped off the forbidden tree. yeah!
i guess i broke the record. add me to the guinness book of records please! i never stopped coughing for a minute, not a minute at all. my lungs should have been a little hurt by now. well, actually, i did feel an acute pain near the left lung during gp lesson. my lovely classmates were very concerned, and kept demanding that i go home. so, after much persuasion, i took a green slip and left for the doctor. i've got an mc for tomorrow bcos doctor esther forbids me to attend school. she reckons that i'll spread my virus to the whole lecture hall. as i'm typing this, i am still coughing away. sigh! so tiring!

so should i blog about my first pe lesson with relief teacher-cum-ex councillor-cum-ex school team rugger-cum-ex saint mr wang liang fu? well, probably a small one eh? basically, he's generally nice. he allowed me to walk cos i wasn't feeling that well. the rest of the class had endurance run (running non-stop, no matter how slow, for 25 minutes). but because i felt it was so embarrassing and dumb to walk around the track, i suggested walking near the gallery. being very nice, he requested that i sit down as it does no use to walk. haha. after that, we played base-ball. yeah! very fun. i actually hit the ball the first time and ran back to the final base!! so proud of myself!! however, SOME people told me liang fu is going to make us run two rounds then play games. apparantly, THIS source of information isn't that reliable eh? hahahahaha!
after school, karen and i went to lovely holland village - my favourite place to hang out. we had lunch at delifrance, then proceeded to coffee bean. i bought 'chocolate by a thousand leaves' for karen, with a candle and sang the 'birthday song' for her. i hoped this little mini celebration touched her. love her lots! *muacks!*
(sings on) happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to karen, happy birthday to you...

hurray! let's cheer because it's a holiday! i definitely don't see the signs of monday blues. not in me, at least. it's the month of february once again. valentine's day is coming. and i hope i can get to go out with my best bud on that special day. she's always so busy all the time. sigh! and boy am i glad that mseals music is back and working really well. my favourite song of the moment - sugababes' too lost in you. it's just so soothing, with lovely background music, well-written lyrics and three girls with great vocals to boot. although i am not a sugababes fan, this song definitely draws my attention. plus, it can be found on the soundtrack of 'love actually' - one of the most romantic movies of all time.
my throat is getting better now, all thanks to constant reminders from my mum to 'take my medicine!!'. cough mixtures are so sweet, and i like it. haha. i know i am weird. however, my voice doesn't seem to be improving. my voice is now very 'sexy and more manly than any guy' - according to jincheng. and of course, i wonder how i got the virus since joey didn't even touch my water bottle. sigh, nevermind. i shall have to rest and not talk so much. but i am just so tired now. and thinking about going back to school tomorrow just makes it all worse.

junior college or polytechnic?
selamat hari raya haji! even though i am not a mud (that's what irwan iskandar taught me) or malay or a muslim for the matter, that doesn't stop me from getting all geared up and ready for this long weekend. but, constantly being reminded that i am no longer living the carefree j1 life, i became a slave for books once again this morning, doing my ionic equilibrium tutorial. although much of my brain juice was used, still, i was unable to complete it. ok mdm lee, charge me! kill me! nag at me! i'm guilty.
i was very glad to receive my monthly lime magazine. being a proud subscriber, i quickly browsed this favourite magazine of mine which is send to my door step every month, before it hits the news stands. haha. there's this little booklet that came with the magazine which reads 'i love poly life'. why is it that the jc people are always neglected? there is a tv drama 'lightyears' which is dedicated to depict poly life and now a booklet all about the pros of being a poly student. and someone even commented that poly students are more mature. what? we, the jc students, are immature? not necessarily okay. how can she just label us as so because she's a poly graduate?
jc buys us two more years to decide what kind of career we want in the future, and also, is a more direct path to the local universities. being smaller in size, the unity is there. as sajc's school hymn goes 'one family unbroken', the jc people are more closely knitted. this is especially displayed during sport matches where we cheer for our team, with strength and unity. although sometimes i do wonder how different life would be if i chose to study in a polytechnic, but i definitely do not regret choosing a jc life. no doubts about that! plus, i personally find my fellow jc counterparts more appealing in terms of looks. maybe poly guys just aren't my cup of tea.
