Today, yours truly, am so proud of herself!!! It was cross country- a gruelling 3.2km scenic tour by the canal. My original intention was not to even run, but...seeing all the slackers signing out, and the school heavily guarded, I changed my mind and decided to WALK. you see, the school was 'heavily' guarded in fear of little pioneers escaping= one JI man escaped from detention and he has the country looking for him. in the end, they let the guys go first, and before we even started, the fastest guy was almost done (he completed 4.8km in 16 mins). so jingwei, jiaxin and i RAN all the way to the bridge (which was half the route) to meet prabs, qiang and leonard- who were nice enough to be the last few guys, and wait for us. and thus, my walking began...it seemed NEVER-ENDING. just for one event, i broke 2 principles: the first cross country to run, and to run simply not to keep others waiting. I'm exhausted.

i chanced upon jingwei's blog (i don't think she knows i reads it) and found 2 really funny comments:



"Jamie made a comment on how vulgarities is made to be acceptable in literature. Haha. I find that very true too. In literature, vulgarities and curses are used very often for self expression, and those words fit in very well! Even our literature teachers aren't that clean mouthed themselves, much less the literature students! I mean, how can the content that streams from your mouth be very clean when Shakespeare is especially fond of using "bastard" and "mongerel bitch", and almost every Plath poem has phallic connotation? For the unmotivated, phallic connotations refer to imagery of penises. Well, literature is afterall a reflection of human life, and the lives we lead are pretty much vulgar. We aren't exposed to flowers and fluffy bunnies all the time you know? Poets and writers fuck alot, so there's bound to be alot of fucking in their written works too. Haha. "

most people think poetry is boring-simply because, unless you think hard enough, you would never understand what the poet was trying to put across. for those sex-orientated people, you might wanna consider poetry instead of slapstick porn. who would've thought poets were such sexual beings?

"This is my favourite Greek Goddess, Athena goddess of war. She's known for her wit, cunning and wisdom, as compared to Ares the God of war. Ares is more well known for brute force and manly manly war like qualities. See, even in ancient times, the people already recognize that men are complete dickheads."


the weekend, AT LAST. I'm not looking forward to march AT ALL.

no love...ok, maybe SOME love,

yipee! met karms [at LONG LAST] after school today. sigh, I'm so broke, i asked to advance my pocket money 2 months ahead! I'm suppose to be broke beyond the state of poverty as well as practise frugality as a result of that...but...I JUST SPENT LIKE 80 TODAY? I feel like killing myself. sighhhhhhh. I need...to just stay at home. but for 2 months?!?!?

anyways, met her after school so she could teach me maths and i really studied!! see!!


but i started getting bored, but strict ole' karms was being stringent in my head- or so i'd imagine
i started whining to her i was bored...after half an hour of attempting tedious looking sums. she told me 'go take a pic of your leg if you're that bored and put it as your wall paper'. yupp, you guessed it :)and so, we took to our favourite hobby- camwhoring behind those eyes. i think karms look real pretty in that dress. the dress was too big for me anyways.

of cos, no fashion show is without it's 'behind-the scenes' is it?
we changed too fast, and felt like taking things...the ah lian/ twit way. i swear this act cute thing is deliberate- we succeeded don't ya think?

we tried the infamous '1,2,3' thing. and only 3 looked the most...decent. you can just imagine the horrifying images of the others :S
In conclusion, how do you think my day went? a picture paints a thousand words doesn't it?
with love,

omg. my back hurts like a lolli taken outta a kids hand. me and my smart-ass self, acting smart once again and attempted high jump at 1.2 m...landed on the bar squashed between my back and hand. alas, a bruise has emerged, the size of an oval egg, with a bump of potential pregnancy too. nah, im kidding- but that bump is real ok. :(

oh, we took this at the museum, quite cute right. me and 'ma favourite 'boi's.

went out with wen and cla after church. sermon was about money. yes, money. and the first and only principle i remember from that hour long sermon is:



  • money will disappear eventually

  • money will dilute (to somewhere/something, GOd knows)

  • money will destroy you

yes, that's what happened to me...even without money, i managed to choke up about 100 bucks worth of clothing yesterday...my money disappeared from my wallet, diluted into the cash register and destroyed my principle/resolution of practising frugality. perfect.


nonetheless, i die a happy death :)



our attempt at being gossip girl imitators





i just realised i had THESE functions on my phone. coolness




with love,

had a happy valentine's day :) though half of it was filled with running about. sigh, exams are coming and I'm NOWHERE near to feeling studious...that stinks. instead, I've been spending my cny money so much...it's almost as good as I never got it at all. ok. my new resolution: I shall practise um...frugality...from monday onwards.

shopping is a fatal addictive.

but it's almost like my ecstasy.

I love shopping.

some pictures from CNY. I'm too lazy to think of anything close to brilliance to say. I'll just let the pictures do the talking.

granny


me and ken. but don't why the picture is like so dark. blame on horrible lighting.

speaking of which, the stupid bulb in my room fused, thus, I live in darkness



my favourite boy


oh, this is quite funny. I was like snapping pictures of jai while she was taking a test!

dance. dance. dance. for the first time in my life, my whole body was like beancurd before the performance.

today was exhausting. having slept so little just to go to school early to prepare for dance. I'm glad it's finally over [minus danceworks], had really cool hair- red streaks and gold glitter, totally me! hahaha. I had it on the whole day til after dinner. boy, was it hard to wash off- I shampooed my hair like 3 times! anyways...

Reunion
Full, empty.
Questions, unanswered.
Festive, ordinary.
Happy, stare.
Thoughtful, blank.
Colours, chrome.
New, ancient.
Excited, dreadful.
Thankful, Hopeful.
Greedy, shrivelled.
Selfish, dreams.
Social, lonely.
Lasting, temporary.
Idealistic, Realistic.
-Candy Thoughts-
HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS.
Sweet Thoughts
I wish, to be alone
From you, yet you, set my thoughts
Burning, with love and hatred
In my heart, my soul utterly torn
Apart, when you smile,
sending shivers up and down
My spine, mocking me.
How I wish I could have you
By my side, with your arms
Around me to hold me tight.
I dream about you
Day and night, hoping soon you'll
Rescue me from my plight.

sigh. the green jealous monster has crept into me. FOF- how could you!!! I bet it was thanks to me...sigh. but on the brighter note, I suppose it's universally accepted, you can't stop one from liking another. [but couldn't you pick another one!] I'm exasperated! annoying.

yipee, no work today and half day off tomorrow! does it spell FANTABULOUS or what! at last holidays after a whole month! hopefully I have a nice Valentine. anyways, this year truly stinks. on my birthday, there's common test- lovely. now, on Valentine's Day [not like I have a specific Valentine], I have a history SBQ and a make up lecture!!! GOSH. my plans are totally pushed back. absolutely LOVELY to the max. tell me how wonderful my life is. a BORE and complete unjust statement looking right into your face.

to awake at 5 and be in school by 6 is something that needs great effort and determination. and yes, that would be yours truly. once again, my oh-so-fabulous life is highlighted again. I want OUT! but I'm broke. plain annoying.

sigh [yes, again] why do some things have to happen. lately, I've been tolerating it (I'm amazed at that threshold), why can't everyone just be happy and not...not happy. it's these little things that sets eyes rolling. and what a dumb tradition. plus plus, I was looking forward to something and now I don't.

on a side note, during lecture- my heart stirred. hmmm...what could this mean? I'm baffled.
