okaeee. alright. stuff to blog (i can rmb what i wanted to blog already!)
1) Have fun with dick and jane
Basically its a movie. Watched a late night movie with my uncle and korean aunt on monday. Suprisingly its was sold out. I thought it was unknown. Basiclaly its ike any jm carrey movie, reminded me of bruce almighty..there;s some defining theme of jim carrey's movies (asides from the actor. duh) but i kinda liked the story of this one. They satired enron, worldcom, e.t.c., and to a veryvery small extent, george bush (they took the sceen from fareinheit 9/11 where bush was golfing or hunting, and he went: did i get tht? in the middle of the interview, onli this time they replaced goerge bush with the ex ceo of their satire of enron) Then in the rolling credits, they thanked arthur anderson, jack lay, e.t.c. money-absocnding-people-destroying-higher-uppers in mainly enron and world com. kinda funny =P
2) Btw, my korean aunt is pregnant. Talk about en elite gene pool. their baby is going to look soooo pretty. First of all my uncle/s family is so good looking, right from my grandfather to their dog. (oscarrrr.) Then throw in a cross cultural marriage. *whstles* anyway, congrats =)
3) geisha. *whistles* michelle yeoh is so elegant. She din look good at all usually, even in the crouching tiger show, but in this show..whew. the role suits her to the core. Zhang ziyi is ok, gong li actually din look too good, even though i always preferred her to zhang ziyi (who btw, was damn irritating in hero.) Anyway, if theres an award this film should win, it would be the most politically incorrect film. Hands down. Roght from the author, ti the storyline, to the movie adaptation, to the actresses...gosh/
4) Today. Heehee. Someone sent mrs yeo a msg by mistake: are you going to ytyt's house tomorrw? and she was trying to find out who. Anyway no one admitted, and she went to show that msg to her exstudent: Ni kan! Jiao wo ytyt sommore! (you see! call me ytyt sommore!)
mrs yeo to chinnie: *points to ganhup* look,. tht is a teacher, not one of my students, although everyone calls him ganhup
Alright, a quick chronological log.basically participation was as usual, dismal. at least it started off not-so-dismal. card gaming was fun..girls can't play cards. period.mrs yeo;s visit was not bad =)) 3 groups of ppl there, quite fun. dinner is girl-guy segregation. mrtan treated so much =SS, whew. (THANKS!!!) ohh!! but chinnie is back!! i still keep imaginiing how different my life would be with her as my classmate =(( Anyway, i did enjoy myself with those ppl anyhow. Its hanyou;'s first class outing!! =))
**********************************
Since its the end of the CNY holidays...
I just realised it's already 2006. Call me slow or whatever, but...wow. 6 years into the millenium. 6 years is a looong time. The past 6 years just seemed to flyyy by, and suddenly, the 1990s which seemed to be "modern" to me is now definitely history. It has reached the stage where photos from 2000 looks like how 1970s photos look liked to me =S
Doe feeling nostalgic mean that I'm growing old? Going to my grandmother's house on the 2nd day usually meant the most to me of CNY. In fact, CNY was usually synonymous with going to my grandmother's house on the 2nd day, cos I'll spend the whole day there and I never spend that long a time at anybody's house. And then I'll have a very good time with my mother's cousins (that's right, not mine. Their closer in age.) and "cousins" (we share the same great grandmother. HOw do you term that kind of relationship?) And grandmother's house at that time was in the HDB estate, there are FOUR playgrounds around. Then my grandfather will bring us dwn and we'll play like..freeze and melt? catching? make believe? When we come up my grandmother will lament at how sweaty i am =P
Alright. A whole para that is irreklavent. Thing is, i just realised the cost of growing. Or the cost of adolescence? Its just so awakward and takes so much energy to just to go up and start aconvosation (of course things do get easier after the start...) Basically its just much much more polite now...=/
Anyway these were musings from the car on my way to my grandmother's house this year.
---------------
After my paternal grandmother's death, death doesn't seem to be that faraway and unrealisitc an occurance anymore. I used to think that death is something that will never strike people near me, and I can't imagine any of those close to me dying. It just didn't seem possible.
Then when my grandmother died, it kinda demonstrated to me exactly how death takes place. How sudden but at the same time not sudden enough to be unbelievable and make you feel so shellshocked. And suddenly, I can imagine well enough that its possible for those close to me to die. Not that I wasn't close to my grandmother. She was kinda a major player in my life. But then suddenly I realsied that those who are closer are getting old too.
Suddenly I realised with a start, that my dad is 50 this year. My maternal grandmother is 65? Somewhere around there, and my grandfather is already appraoching 75. Even Oscar is already 7. And if the next 6-8 years is going to pass as fast as the past 6-8 yeards did, my time spent with the people I love is actually veryv very limited. I think this veryvery effectively made me realise the value of time in a split second. I remember when Oscar was about a year ol, young and hyper. He'd run up and down up and down the garden just to entertain himself ( I mean, gez. XCCan you be entertained by running up and down a lawn by yourself??) Now his actually suffering from
rheumatism . Can you believe that? He ain't that old. And my grandparents are in relatively good health. BUt my other grandmother wasn't doing too badly until a fall, and then she only had 6 months. I never really can imainge the mechanism with which such things work. I think i can now. =S I can understand how they will happen when they happen =((
Alot of thigns can actually happen in a year. I mean, when we're schooling, a year is pretty routine, and you don't feel things happening. Its just 10 weeks, holiday, 10 weeks, holiday, 10 weeks, study, 5 weeks, and the rest of the year just flies by once exam is over. Then when you reflect on the last decade rather then the last year, you find that there are actuall alot of changes. Just that the changes are prob too gradual, or some changes are too trivial, for us to actually feel it. Like, my grandparents seemed always to be in their early 50s to me, just as they were when I was just borned, but suddenly, when I recalcualte, I realised so much time has passed. Once school ends, the routine ends, and things and changes will happen much much faster. Then we'll proibably find that a year is actually long enough for amny many things to happen.

WHEEEEEE. SATs is over!! Worked harder for the last one, this time I don't really feel like working, but who cares, prob won't do too well..critical reading is easier anyway, and I don't regret not studying vocab at all. With analogies taken out and sentence completion a muchmuch lower percentage i figured it doesnt really matter. Alright, so it'll cost me some marks, but its definitely worth not studying. This time its bloody long thoguh. not to mention st francis aint as organised as hwa chong last time.I was like: ALRIGHT ALREADY. GET ON WITH IT.
CNY eve!! CNY is sooo nonexistant this year. Anyway ow tht sats is out of the way, shall sit back, do some useless stuff like decorating my file while putting on a dvd on my com and reading websites b4 starting on serious stuff =)
List of websites to visit everytime I come online (blogs aside):
www.singaporeexpats.comwww.expatsingapore.comwww.theexpatfiles.comwww.friendscafe.org/forumfanfiction.net
and the new one I found:
www.snopes.comyou can see how shallow I am from the websites i go =P

Poem by mei!!:
heres a short poem to make your day
before we each go our merry way
hum a little tune now, set it free
and let it keep your company
for once the music's in the air
i'll hear it where i'm currently
for once the music's in the air
i'll think of you and you'll think of me
just a simple little song
and i'll remember you
and i'll hum along.
(albeit rather badly)
=)) Reading her poems brightens up my life after all the homework. its so cute with this distinct mei characteristic (before we each go our merry way??) and it makes the whole litrary scene much brighter too, aftre some awful poems i read.
Anyway..in a much better mood to blog now, thnaks to norman anti virus =))
1) There are days when the route home just seems long and neverending. The missing word here is winding, but bukit timah road is straight. All the way. I can't complaing of it being winding (and tht depresses me. I want to complain)
2) Their doing wierd things to jln jurong kechil. Last time they had this guy sit at the side with a counter. Thats right. At the side of the road with a counter, prob counting the number of cars that pass. Today they have this wierd yellow machine on a tripod. And no, its not a camera. These happens when they're not doing road works and jamming the entire mouth of that road. Geez
3) I'm beginning to love the beethovan exam piece, some sonata no. 3. Hated it at first..i mean..geez. 2 years of playing the same mozart piece i thought i can get back to beethoven exciting pieces. BUt nooo..he has to dedicate this piece of haydn and it sounds nowhere like beethoven, even worst then mozrt. anyway, kind of getting use to it *hums*
4) I;m trying to figure out the lyrics of waltzing matilda. it just occured to me on that loooong route home. used to be able to rmb these kind of lyrics so well cos my dad had a handbook of songs and i'd love to go thru them. *change tune and hums*
5) CNY is nonexistant. There;ll be minimal visiting, alot of homework, and alot of test
6) I seriosly carn rmb what i wanted to blog. much of these thoughts occur on my way home anyway. so either i should blog on my way home, or i should record down what i want to blog about on my pda like i used to when i was on holiday.
7) oh, i rmb. poverty. but tht can come another day. my com is lagging.

BIO TEST'S OVER! WHEEEE
ok, so now there's sats, maths test on thurs, chem test next week. the whole world's gone mad.
Wanted to blog about what my daydreams, but too lazy too. Studyign bio is great for daydreaming. First your eyes will drift from the the liver-that-does-not-look-anything-like-a-liver picture. Then my eyes will somehow one way or another land on whatever's outside the windows. Then I'll start marvellin at the fact that, at the veryvery same time, someone is living a life so different miles away, on the other end of the country, on the other side of the earth, be it 2 km away, or 2000 km away. And e.t.c.e.t.c.e.t.c. I can;t be bothered to elaborate. It'll usually end in me falling asleep.
Can;t remember what else I wanted to blog about..*scrunches face in concentration* Nope, still can't remember. Mei's coming back in March again. WHEEEEEE =))

Its time to wax lyrical about 4C2 again... =))
Ok, so i know i should be studying bio..but heck..it can wait. I fink i came down with a severe case of attn deficit disorder or soemthing..carn seem to concentrate on some anatomy of a plant (please..what purpose does tht serve in my future. all i need to know about a plant is which part can be eaten)
so anyway huimin just came back from a wedding dinner and she coincidentally met a crescent teacher there..(tan siew huang..zhao fang's friend? tht high pitched voice chiense teacher who was 1c2/2c2 form teacher in2004)..and so she appraoches tan siew huang andthis is the gist of the beginning:
Ms TaN: which year were u?
Huimin: 2004
Ms Tan: Which class/
Huimin: 4c2
Ms Tan: oh! tht very cute class!! under mrs tan! the mr loh and ms malini act!
the rest of the convo..carn be bothered to type tht out. ask huimin urself. i'll just save tht chat log *clicks on save*
But thing here is..WOW. they still remember our class aftermore then a year. tan siew huang didn't even teach our class a single subject, neither did she teach any of us in sec 1 or 2 ( i think) So anyway...whew. we must really have left a legacy. i mean in sec3 our class was known to have only good results, but terrible class spirit, competitveness e.t.c.
in sec4, after that beautiful greased lightning skit suddenly our class had a burst of class spirit, co-operation and all the works. And seriously, i miss the environment and 4c2, despite saying long looongg ago that we should put 4c2 behind us, stop reminiscing so much cos it aint going to happen again, ill never be in such a great class again, and concentrate on the present.
So here, things I remmeber vivdly and fondly about 4c2:
The veryvery conducive environment. basically u actually feel like studying there. And people you;re studying with makes it very comfortbale. like, people who don't go recess. huimin, sometimes mei, wenqing, denise, regina e.t.c. the environemtn is just there.
there are well defined cliques, but then u can hang out with people from other cliques just as comfortbaly, at elast for me. i mean, now i can;t seem to expalin properly that i was not from cheryl and geri;'s clique.
recess.
Scenario 1: first, establish the fact that huimin always brings bread from home. next, establish the relationship between sam and mei, and huimin's bread. (i.e. theif and loot, mouse and cheese, cat and mouse, whatever u like) Then pick a time when huimin goes to change. cos we have pe days, mass run days, she goes to change quite alot. or when she actually goes for recess.
Once gone, one of us lift her table and rummage it for bread, the other will look in her bag.
Then we'll get the typical bread wrapped up in kitchen towel in a transparent plastic bag. the fillings are usually fish, alfafa sprouts, peanut butter. we'll steal a portion of it, and tell denise/rgina they saw nothing
Scenario 2: no one wants to go for recess. wenqing, mei, me, huimin, allnot going. So begins the discussion on who is a better person to ask to buy recess for u. i rmb common people are geri, ena and jingyang. then we'll ask thm to buy either tuna breador egg. which ocsts 60 cents. and then these people will sneak it up in their windbreakers, or pockets, or just guang ming zhen da bring it up if there are no teachers patrolling.
Scenario 3: we actually go for recess. then usually its the 7th store where they have the nice freid thingy and potatoe =) or the chikcne rice sotre (on tht issue, we have no chicken rice, as in proper chicken rice, in rj=( )
Then i still rmb the inflatable chair which i brought at the back of the class, and the 500or thousand piece jigsaw puzzle of britain tht denise brought. she actually wanted to contribute to charity, but i was so bored during ow swee lan's lesson i took it out to do a part of it, and pretty soon, everyone was doing (mostly during ow's lesson =P and it didn;t really matter. there was once she set us some work to do, and then halfway thru her lesson sioks and i just went to the back of the class to do the jigsaw rather then her work. she saw us and walked to the back and had a hearty conversation with us on britain (btw, did u know she grew up in europe?) )
Greased lightning. there was those practice sessions in the dance studio. and the lessonwe begged the teachers to let us practice e.t.c =)) and of course the final product. thnx to denise, suilinn, geri e.t.c. for planning the dance and all.
Then there was the lessons. chem prac was the bets man. after getting high on so2 and all those funnygases, everyone will end up breaking things, and mrs chia just laughs. like mei burned her eyebrows (seriously, who puts their face directly infront of conc hcl when u're heating it =P. and nope, i;m not eltting her forget tht), half the class burned their thumbs by putting them in direct contact with conc hcl (inc. me) , breaking mercury thermometers (me again), breaking testtubes, simultaneously no less (NOT ME). i actuall can still remember the feeling when chem prac (last lesson) ends and we dash off for lunch.
but one convo i rmb from phys supplmentary:
(its held in the pat, so all the chairs are stacked up and tantzeyong carn find remote to bring down the chairs)
Him: isit ok if you all just dothe lesson on the floor?
some girl:no! I PAY SCHOOL FEES ONE LEH
=P
and 4c2 were really acheivers, at least in crescent. the teachrs probaly saw us as people who were really hardworking(which is true, relatively), get good resutls (also true in the relative sense), and at the very end, had class spirit =)
this post actually doesnt do justcie to my actual feelings in sec4. thiking back, geez. 40 people, and i actyally felt more at home and more comfortable then in a class of 28 people. you would thinking it'd be harder to find commonality within a class of 40. and ironically, iactually felt easier to work, more motivated, and more assurnce tht i was working hard in sec4.
After sec4, i actualyl felt tht i worked hard thru the year, tht i really pushed myself and what;s better, i actually felt like i had fun and it wasnt such torture to work hard. and even though my Os werent tht fantastic compared to my classmates in rj now, i didn't mind in the least bit. last year i didn't feel like i worked very hard. it was just alot of last minute mugging, and idun think i deserved any better results then i had anyway, even though i knew i probably could have dne better. emvironment plays a damn big part alright.
Anyway, the point of this whole thing is, its As this year. And i so badly want a recreation ofthe conditions in sec4, and mirror the Os. alright, to be fair, my life is smooth. I made a couple of very good friends, which is more then i can ask for. ccas are killing me , but at least pearl;s is scrapped. but its not the same. and i carn really think why, class spirit aside. anyway , class spirit is rising, (i hope, at least)i;m actually dreading graduation prom this year.
argh. but who am i kidding. theres no way thihgs can be exactly the same. count your blessings!! its just not the optimal conditions, but then i suppose the optimal conitions in sec4 are probably rare and difficult to replicate =( the ironic fact here is there, people say you're supposed to have a better time in jc, and a good school is supposed to bring out the best in you...e.t.c.e.t.c. i know for a fact i had a better time in sec sch and i was tons mroe satisfied in sec sch, and from what it looks like, mostpeople had a bettre time in sec sch too.
but i dun regret coming to rj actually. considering i was dreading it right from the start ( imean, i didn;t leave my horrible life in primary school , have a good time in sec. sch, and choose to return to the exactly same environment as my primary school happily right??) therefore, its time to snap back to the presnet. i.e., the anatomy of a plant
(btw, huimin said we should do soemething everyone can take part in to forge class bonding, kinda like greased lightning. but seriously, can u picture adolescent boys with high c.g. dancing greased lightning? *thinks of tutors to impersonate* maybe mrlim, but it still won;t be as interesting as mrloh and msmalini (" you jokers!""carrrnarh" =pp))
alrighhhhhhttt. remeniscence over. back to anatomy of tht bloody green organism

Okaeee. New songs that got me hooked:
We could be in Love- Lea Salonga & Brad KaneLea:Be still my heart
Lately its mind is on it's own
It would go far and wideJust to be near you
Brad:Even the stars
Shine a bit bright I've noticed
When you're close to me
Lea: Still it remains a mystery
Chorus (Both):Anyone who seen us
Knows what's going on between us
It doesn't take a genius
To read between the lines
Brad: ohhAnd it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love
Lea:I ask myself why
I sleep like a baby through the night
Maybe it helps to knowyou'll be there tomorrow
Brad: Lea:Don't open my eyes
OhhhI'll wake from the spell I'm under
Makes me wonder how
Tell me howI could live without you now
Both:And what about the laughter
The happy ever after
Like voices of sweet angels
Calling out our names
And it's not just wishful thinking
Or only me who's dreaming
I know what these are symptoms of
We could be in love
Brad:All my lifeI have dreamed of this
But I could not see your face
Lea:Don't ask why two such distant stars
Can fall right into place (Repeat Chorus)
Both: Oh, it doesn't take a genius
To know what these are symptoms of
We could be
Lea: ohhWe could be, we could be in love
Brad:Could be in
Both:We could be in love
Niceee!!!
If I Never Knew you- James IngraIf I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.
In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd hve lived my whole life through
Lost foreve
If I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these wispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
Oh if I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If i never felt this love
Since the moment that we metI would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...I've lived at last...I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love wuold be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were rightwe were right
And if I never knew you
If I never knew youI'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Okaee..lyrics abit messed up here.
Blogger doesnt do indentation when i paste it over and since this song aint so famous, there int many websites having this lyrics.
Lent my pocahontas cd away and never got it bad >=( This is the love theme from pocahontas. Speaking of which, i think i should buy the cd again. Songs inside worth listening to. Savages...the gold mine song, river band song, and this song =)
(i hate colours of the wind. its way overrated)
Hmm..west side story is coming to sg.
HOpe i gt to watch it this year.
and hopefully its after common test *crosses fingers*
Haven't watched a musical since sec4. Watched mamma mia, twice then =) (the brooomstick aheaded guy. lol)
1 month later watched aladin, the sg pantomime (omg. robin goh was soo cute! too bad his gay =( )
And before that, there was the welly yang thing. Speaking of which, i still can't beleive i missed him last year. but then again, he came at such a wierd time, in the middle of august, and only held a show on wednesday..like in the middle of the week?!
i'll prob do anything to see him and tht conductor again =) I love the way he pounds tose broadway and jazz songs on the piaon. Watched him on zong yi da ge da once..my god. his fingers FLY. ( he was playing seasons of love btw)
Which brings me to seasons of love.

Random 1) All the staircase lights at home blew simultaneously suddenly yesterday. I.e. no more midnight snacks. =( Of course I can turn on the 2nd floor lights, rush down, and turn on dining room lights asap, but chances are I'll end up rolling down the steps.
2) Rain, stop. Rain, stop. Drizzle, stop, Rain, stop, Drizzle, POUR, stop. For god sakes people, take care of your environment! How hard is tht? This stupid elnino lanina thing is killing me. I swear I'm going to burn my umbrella in protest =((
3) That crescentian girl is called Maznah and not Mazda as me and huimin and cheryl thought. (We were like, eh? same name as the car!, until informed otherwise by ann today)

I;m depressed >=( For some reason or another. Like all aspects of my life has problems. Okaeee, so there are blessings I could count and be grateful for...but still >=( I like to wallow for the time being. I'm such a horrible person I need clensing >=( Or maybe confessions. Hmm.
Next up, message to the skies:STOP RAINING STOP RAINING STOP RAINING. bring ur water to somewhere that needs it more, like some drought-plauged nation in Africa. I hate carrying umbrellas, but when I do carry an umbrella on the first 3 days of school on account tht it had been raining the holidays away, it doesn;t rain. I take it out at the end of day 3 to bring it to NUS, and didn't put it back in bag. The next day, PROMPTLY and IMMEDIATELY it rains when I'm going home. On the 5th day of school, It rained on my way home. I asssumed it stoopped raining qhwn i went home and wouldnt rain again, and went out without an umbrella. Guess what. IT RAINED EVEN HARDER whil i was outside. conspiracy or not.
Today is one of those days on tht long tedious walk home I feel like shaking my fist at the cars whizzing by me and shouting: GIVE ME A LIFT PLEASE!
And phones are becoming more and more ridiculous. Get this conversation while I was trying to reaplace my house phones at Best Denki:
So we ask where do they keep the digital cordless phones, andthe lady explains them to us.
*pointing to a standerd phone and in one breath...* This phone has speaker phone, backlight, doubles up as an answering machine, the keypads light up in the dark, it can functin as a walkie talkie for a distance up to 300 m and it has intercom services with another handset anywhere in your house. For one handset we'llsell u for 140 dollars, but for 2, we'll sell the other at 120 dollars, making it a total of 260dollars.
Now why would I want a phone that can function as a walkie talkie for? To tell my sister that its raining and I need an umbrella? That;s what handphones are for. Who;'s going to bring thsese phones outOk..how about Caller ID? Does this phoen have?
Oh..that;s a given..all these phones have coller id
HmmSo we pointed to a higher class phone, and asks its function:"oh, this has colour screen and it can sms"
SMS?I don;t think you;re quite getting what we want here. We want a phone for the HOUSE.Ok..how about the very basic set. What are the functions:"Caller ID, walkie talkie, and mute function"
Come again?"mute function. The other person can;t hear what you're speaking" esplains the lady
Hang on now..I'm buying aphone aren't I. The point of it is for ther other person to hear me!There is such a thing as overtechnology. The next thing you know, they'll tell you the phones can act as remote controls, which really isnt a very far off possibility.
" this phone can switch on your aircon, television, stereo, open your cardoor. If u want our premium phones, it can switch on ur stove and microwave ovwn as well. The top end ones can even turn ur air freshener one!"-_-
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..

Ahhh..last Calvin and HObbes strip..boot leg version. I.e. someone else besides bill watterson wrote it. Nevertheless its very good. Very very very depressing and sad. I wanted to cry when i read it, and I can't read anothercalvin and hobbes strip without feeling sad again (the fact tht its not the legitimate one actually helps). I love calvin, his disregard for rules and good behaviour, his philosophies on life, his cynical stand on education which is so so sooo true. Adn i respect bill watterson (even if i;m unsure of the spelling...)..his stand on no syndication whatsoever, even if it earns him more money and popularizes the strip (i.e. any shirt or labels or any merchandise you have on C&H is definitely fake and illegal), fight agaisnt sunday strip formatting, and i'll always remember him saying he studied writing to allow himself to draw. (10th anniversary collection is a very very good buy btw. It has a section which bill watterson writes about his likings, designing of the characters, e.t.c.) Above all, calvin and hobbes are cute!! Their neighbourhood gives me an idea of where I want to live and start a family when i grow up, their scenery, their lifestyle, playing around temperate forests, river e.t.c.In the hot afternoons when i get all hot and bothered and wish i was someplace else, calvin and hobbes is the other book i'd read aside from national geog traveller to indulge myself and place myself somewhere else. all in all..*sob*
tis xmas, plz stay wit me..
