yesterday - leona lewis
i know what i said abt not coming here so often, and abt not using songs as titles. i am v fickle-minded and contradicting i know but srsly i can't help it.
first thing first, blogger almost scared my wits out of me. it said smth like the internet cookie being disabled and i was like crap; end of my blogging days, null existence of my alter ego, true it has been short-lived, but it was rather a fruitful one i supposed. thankfully i was able to mitigate the problem by just re-opening the internet browser.
anyway anyway, back to the title issue. i wanted to blog yesterday but i was well occupied with things like reading my latest grab and napping while i was supposed to study for the maths mock paper today. i was busy mopping over GP paper too. did i mention how much GP suck? well, it SUCKED. LIKE TOTALLY. gosh. meiping and I are going to compare our sucky gps some time and see which jc tops the suckier gp prelim. anyway, went to Cafe Cartel with mom for late breakfast. bumped into mun jun zaki and tricia after alighting from the bus. from their blank faces i sensed no glimpse of acknowledgement in their eyes. like totally null, nada, zilch, zero kind. and a part of me and my ego was bruised. how cld that be? firstly i know i haven change much physically from sec sch. so what was the problem? didn't i make an impact? hello, i topped the class for prelims, by a stroke of chance that much i'll agree but hello. i topped amaths tests for like almost every time. i never thought myself as someone that easily forgettable nor having that common face among the crowd. (even though there's someone in school who sorts of look like me. ): ) i didn't bother saying hi. i hate it when people dun reciprocate my kindness. and another thing i hate is looking like a fool. i get pretty often these days i wonder why. hence i hesitate to initiate acknowledgement the other party on the streets. stupid trio!!! goodness. i know i haven been to much class gatherings. (not that there were many anyway!) i wasn't even close to them even then but TSK. 2years of being in the same class and after that, back to strangers that past you by without a second glance? ouch okay! imagine being a mere footnote of someone's memory. that's like a freaking minor. i want to be more. perhaps i was over-reacting bcos i think i heard mun jun calling my name when i was going up the bridge. i wasn't sure, but i didn't turn around. i'm an evil scorpio, i dun do magnanimous stuffs like forgive and forget, at least not the instantanously kind. i tend to bear grudges. anyway, that's that.
i'm heading back to my books. toodles.
the man who can't be moved - the script
(i shldn't be here!)

anyway nice music videos to check out (when you're bored):
fall for you - secondhand serenade
the man who can't be moved - the script
nice songs to listen to:
somebody's me, tired of being sorry - enrique iglesias
we cry - the script
your call - secondhand serenade
i'm yours - jason mraz
okay i can't rmbr much srsly.
caught the closing ceremony and wow London 2012 proves to be a spectacle. i'm so going to watch every single event 4years later. when i have time on my side. oh yes. more abt the closing ceremony. there's 2 very funny incidents during the part where the volunteers representatives came out. i wonder if it's just me and sis who caught it. bcos apparently, my bro and sis's bf didn't find it as tickling as we did. the first guy had 2 girls next to him and so he held the hand of the girl on his left, and waved with his right, but the girl on his right stuck out her hand anyway to make it seem as if he was holding it. freaking hilarious i tell you. me and sis broke into uncontrollable laughter at the same time. from the front, it looked as if the guy was holding both girls in addition to waving his hand. 3 hands? LOL. that was like classic. the next one was the last guy who came out. okay it wasn't so much abt the guy but rather the girl he held hands with. she looked as if her smile was plastered on her face! like srsly so funny. looked kinda spastic and robotic. we went into laughing fits again. just flipped through sep's Teenage and i think i see a familiar face. interesting...
ah, today's papers made some fascinating highlights and points on Olympics and the new govt baby policy/incentives. check out the ads done by Straits Times and some ad agencies, the Michael Phelps one was hahahahaha literally. on a sidenote; why does Eva Longeria's Magnum ad keep flashing? tsk
okay i really shldn't stay. bye.
all in a week
okay i've decided not to you know, put songs up as titles alr, unless i can't think of a title that is. okay doesn't make much sense but nvr mind. i just have time for a quick rant before i go back to my books again. so here goes.
my new heroine: Elena Isinbaeva of Russian Federation.
i am extremely lazy to surf for pictures not to mention uploading them requires some time and patience which i dun have. anyway she remained as the world record holder for the women's pole vault with a new record at 5.05m. it was an incredible feat as one who had watched the action on monday. her feat was as incredible as Michael Phelps's 0.01s feat. it was her third attempt after two failed ones. although sitting in front of the tv, miles and miles away from the real action, i was cheering for her like a crazy fan. well, that was monday.
wikipedia-ed Michael Phelps the other day. got some quirky interesting facts. in a nutshell, he's one of the zero-to-hero kind of guy. the transformation he undergone was wowww. oh ya oh ya, he's from Maryland, no that's not the funny part, (wait for it......), he's from Baltimore! the hairspray setting. gosh that's like so cool. i didn't even know that town really existed. okay ignorance on my part. but wow. caught some rhythmic gymnastics earlier. and wowww i went again. Russian Federation got Gold, China silver and Belarus (i think i didnt misspell it) got bronze. truly deserving, the Russians. a pity the Italy team got ousted because China upstaged the Belarus team.
anyway back to tuesday: went to subway for another chill-eat-&-study session with winnie and yenleng. while on the way out to the bus stop, some totally random salesperson called me on my cell advertising abt some cpfpolicy shit. okay i get that kind of calls pretty often, (i got one from a presumably Indian guy whom i placed from the accent, called and talked abt some finanical services last sat.) but the funny thing was, she called, and she knew my name and she said she got my number from a friend who did not want to be named. LOL! that's like a first time la. so hilarious. if it were real, abt the friend who didnt want to be named, i'm actually pretty curious to find out who.
the rest of the week flew past in a blur. had maths test on thursday, phys on fri and econs on sat. it was kind of sad as it's kinda like our last week of school as J2. time flies so, so fast. i know i keep lamenting on that, but i can't help myself. a few more weeks, prelims. a few more weeks after prelims, the big A's. and after A's, liberation. i'll miss plenty of things even mugging late at night.
anyway, on a brighter note. smth amusing happened on thursday; last period which happened to be maths. we were all looking down at the staff room at level3 from outside the IT Resource room, waiting for our usually prompt maths teacher. it seemed like the math department were having some sort of party with pizza and ms seah forgot abt the time. after mr ong strolled past and saw her, he conveniently told her that we were waiting for her. after that she stole a quick glance in our direction and ran 2 levels up through the staircase that linked the staff room right to the 5th level. afterwards she apologise profusely but even then she wasn't spared the humourous sarcasm. because we all blatantly observed the pizza hut's box on one of the tutor's tables, the guys teased her abt it. well, teachers are human too. haha anyway she ended lesson at 120 to give us a final speech that was rather touching.
even though the year hasnt end yet, and school hasnt either, i'm already missing and reminscing abt school life. sighs. reminscing allows us to remember who we are. sure, it has been a short 2 years, but even so, the experience gained, was comparable to 6 years in primary school and 4 years in secondary.
in conclusion (i always have problem concluding, hence the abrupt byes at every post), i'll like to end this post with some line that everyone knows. but somehow to me, its quite apt to end this post. the longest journey begins with a single step. the stage is set, and the time is now. goodbye (for some time, i hope, the more i stay away, the more time i'm spending on my books, ceteris paribus. if only things were that simple like a first order reaction. if.)
oh forgot to mention: my brother came back from obs with an injuried hand and got hospitalised for like 3days for a damaged nerve. i srsly duno which part is funnier. i think it's a tie. if you're reading this wj, HI! hahahah
Next movie to catch: Death Race
(the transporter guy is acting in it!)
angel - natasha bedingfield
tmr's friday again.
lil bro is coming back frm obs tmr. zzz
peace no more.
but, i bet he missed me. haha
caught glimpses of the opening ceremony of Olympics.
seriously, this is the first year ever that i've actually made an effort to watch.
totally regret missing all the action the last few years.
had two birthday celebrations during the mini national day holiday.
one on national day itself; my lil cuzzie shannon's in advance.
a pity i missed NDP this year, due to many reasons which started with Procrastination.
celebrated sx's bdae on mon w/ ky yl yl theresa and of cos the bdae girl.
went to seoul garden after like several years of not visiting it.
my last visit was like in sec2.
spent 15.3$ on it plus drinks.
but yaa, my point was, had lots of fun while doing silly things like piling the food,
then realising we had to pay 5$ for 100g of waste,
but still piling food on our plates all the same.
then pushing to one another to finish up.
after plan failed,
we tried impossible ways to try to make the food disappear like making the whole pieces into crumbs so the server won't suspect a thing,
or allowed the food to stay on the thingy so that it'll burn hopefully to you know get burnt.
in the midst, me and yl made up an excuse to go toilet.
okay it wasn't really an excuse since we really went to the toilet, but we did a detour after peeing.
went to get cake for the supposedly unsuspecting bdae girl.
but i think she knew that we going going to do smth like that.
after that was cam-whoring in the toilet and outside the Lego place at taka.
okay wasn't really cam-whoring since we only took a few.
anyway i left earlier for tuition while the others stayed for poker.
MICHAEL PHELPS IS MY NEW HERO!
HAHAHAHA
he's the reason why i'm so eager for male swimming action now.
i hope he wins like another Gold medal tmr.
finished Hotel Rwanda during GP today. omg so unbelievable that it's real history. war between the Tutsis and the Hutus. like another protestants vs catholics over again. but then of cos like mr chong said, media tends to play things up, exaggerate them, dramatize them, make them more climatic. so it's hard to determine what's real and what's not. it was heartwrenching at some parts and surprisingly some humorous scenes near the end. like when Paul went up to the rooftop scene and the bathtub scene. it really helped to lighten the mood. it's truly deserving of 3 nominations for global gold awards in 2005. which brings me to smth, it seemed that true heroes only exist in time of crisis. people like Paul, who really gave it his all to help others, sacrificing himself at times (as played by the actor in the film) and gets (thankfully!) rewarded in the end, his family being unharmed at all. i had thought at some point of time, that Paul would end up dead, like the lieutantant in another war film, Saving Private Ryan.
after maths remedial, i found out that yunting and I had the same amths teacher at mavis! god. 2 years and i srsly dun remember seeing her before. sure i knew there were quite some xinmin pple around, but omg like deja vu all over again. i knew jermaine had ms chee last year. so freaking coincident. okay now i really believe in the 6 degree of separation.
big sis went to catch love guru last night and said it wasnt even worth 6$.
darn it.
how come jessica alba always act in mediocre films.
next movie i'm aiming: Meet Dave.
that shld be alright.
i mean it's eddie murphy.
he's The Funny Guy.
if the movie stinks, i swear the next movie i'm watching is hsm3.
which is supposed to come to theatres on the 24 oct.
okay bye. am at a loss of words suddenly.
talk of the town: i'm seriously getting senile. and fat at the same time.
sighs.
Haha
3 doors down - not my time
everyone seems to make sense these days. (is it just me or ...?)
i'm considering to close this thing.
maybe open smth more private.
going back to diary writing may be a good idea.
nothing beats pen and paper, black and white.
it's a start.
tues: maths timed practice & econs timed practice + tuition
wed: chem timed practice
thurs: gp paper 1
friday: physics timed practice & chem timed practice + tuition
hallelujah!
tell me that's all there is to this week.
prelims in just 25days.
lastly, some quote i saw from a travel pamplet my sis brought back on one of her frequent high-flyer trips; "He pai rangi tahi". no idea what language it's in but it means the beauty of a single day. time is ticking every second and as every year past, it seems to go a little faster. maybe it's just me. but how often do you stop to smell the roses?
