I aim to post a photo a day for at least three months.

Abandoned is this page.

Night.

The rest of the days === Vietnamese Exchange

2007-08-31T14:01:00.000+08:00

Welcome Dinner! Okay before that, check in to Hangout @ Mt Emily. COOL PLACE LAH! Budget hotel but still very nice. Chinatown and Little India were like.. totally shopping trip! Wow. Some of them spent more than 50 bucks on souvenirs!! Then again I have to say that the quality and variety of Singapore souvenirs are pretty amazing. Wow! Dinner was great but but but couldn't finish. Luckily we had Terence =). Oh. Before that, to amuse themselves, the students held a mock wedding. Note that the blue shirt guy is the FATHER of the girl, not the groom. =) And the boys are as.... close to each other as the IP boys.
Performances! The German teacher didn't look too enthusiastic... got a Vietnam flag!
BBQ at Mel's place. You see all of them being happy and Quan (oh no. is that his name??) dancing with Jo! (The dancing with Jamie was to practice for Jo's dance!)

Farewell dinner... not all of us could go see them off at the airport the next day due to lessons. Had dinner with The Important People (TIP!). Sat with Mrs Cheng. Pretty.. subdued--the mood at our table, contrasting the other two tables. Kim bought them marshmellows ('cause they don't seem to have tasted it in Vietnam!!!). Yay. At Hangout, met some... Italian (??) ladies. They requested that our Vietnamese friends sing for them and they did! Cross Cultural indeed. =)

Good bye!

Day 2

2007-08-20T00:14:00.000+08:00

The Vietnamese students have this habit of waking at 7AM DURING HOLIDAYS. Sad or not? The cable car ride to Sentosa cost $12.90 (I think) and two-way is just $1 more! Then Shihui, Peixin & their Buddies cabbed down to the zoo. $20. Nice nap. Then we saw the rest. =)

So glad to have been invited to Enqin's place (don't have to think of what to do at night). They cooked for us! The spring rolls thingy. Yay! And the guy (middle left) is Chandler (named after Chandler in Friends) is the cousin of one of the Vietnamese students. He's PR. He is really helpful in bringing them around!

Day 1 after my camera has been fixed

2007-08-20T00:04:00.000+08:00

It was meeting our Vietnamese friends time! Went to Queenstown to collect the camera but didn't bring my memory card! So only pictures of the night. It was Esplanade, then Clarke Quay/Boat Quay. Wow. Tourists get all these perks! Like free fortune telling and caricature! Had food at Glutton's Bay but didn't take any pictures. =)

No Update

2007-08-06T18:00:00.000+08:00

Lots of fun things happened recently including seeing many people drunkkk.

I can't update my blog nowadays see... as my camera is still spoilt and unfixed and so I can't face this alone without pictures.

I took all the pictures of Gha's surprise party (we got surprised instead when she just walked into the living room while we were watching Silent Hill). Okay, only those pictures after the bbq got slightly too much--when people started to just drink all the Absolut, wine and other stuff.

Here are some of my best works if I do say so. First up we have GENFirst, she reaches for the ABSOLUT. Looks pretty okay right?

Then...

To prove that she's not NOT NOT drunk at all... she walked in a straight line. Next, we have Biq.

See the Compare & Contrast picture taken:

Then, we have YB with her SUDDEN OUTBURST of DRUNKEDNESS!

And the three girls lolled around the mats Shihui's wonderful mom placed on the grasss.

While people watched....

Then again, we are nice people at 05IP01 and we helped them...

A drunk, albeit a more experienced one, helping another.

Tse Mei drank the water thinking it was the alcohol Gha said it was.

On the other hand, we have gimlim so unaffected by all... this shot is amazingly not-as-easy-as-it-seems-to-take. I had to almost lie down on the floor.

And... we have the four girls who more of overate than overdrink. Okay, Tse Mei was pretty drunk and jay was heading towards there.. but generally they overate.

Like Shi who couldn't straighten up. And she had ballet the next morning. I love love love this picture! Shows four different poses of four different people. Like.. concubines.

Above all, we are one big family.

Tata!

All pictures taken from lhz's album. =)

I HEART Exercise

2007-07-26T20:55:00.000+08:00

Had PT then PE.

My butt hurts.

A ball slammed it.

During PT it was.

And then the chair at CS21 has a poke-y thing that poked it.

Book List

2007-07-21T23:22:00.000+08:00

In my phone you'll find the closest thing I have to a wishlist.

A Booklist.

Here goes (in order of 'discovery', not merit):

1. Words that Work: it's not what you say but what people hear written by Frank Luntz
2. Adverbs: A Novel written by Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket)
3. Then We Came to the End: A Novel written by Joshua Ferris (He wrote JPod [which I've yet to read] too I think!) Opps no not him. JPod's Douglas Coupland. Just the same feel.
4. The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
5. The City of Dreaming Books written by Walter Moers
6. Power, Faith and Fantasy: America in the Middle East: 1776 to the Present written by Michael B. Oren

9. Never Let Me Go written by Kazuo Ishiguro
10. The Memory Keeper's Daughter written by Kim Edwards

Didn't realise that I have exactly 10 BOOKS! Great for a booklist! Now I just have to get them. I have to confess that most of the books, I don't know what they are about at all. Proves the power of a great title and attractive book covers.

Wanna get me a book?

Today, Ha, YB, Huizhen EACH won a $20 KINOKUNIYA BOOK (what else?) VOUCHER!!

Dim Sum.

2007-07-15T21:46:00.000+08:00

Decided to wear my yellow dress (which I bought for SMUN's Purple-themed night [which was... way below expectations]).
... Dim Sum! Though according to the Dim Sum Dollies, xiao long bao not dim sum which is true I guess... just can't find any pictures from Hong Kong trip in this comp. Went for .......

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got autographs too!!!! We were right at the start of the queue. Like the FIRST. Had Marsala (no typo!) Fish & Chips for dinner. Indian-English fusion food.

=)

Happy Friday.

My Spoilt Camera

2007-07-13T15:35:00.000+08:00

I see/had seen so many many many shots I want/have wanted to take/have taken for the past month and I just can't/couldn't due to my extremely spoilt camera. It's genuinely depressing and I don't believe I have felt as bad for the loss of an object (I have many experiences of losing handphones, even spectacles). I really like to capture images of moments so fleeting they can never be remembered accurately. And now, I can't complete my photo collection of Shooting Club/Shooters needed to fill up the taller-than-any-of-us boards in the range. I can't visit parks and whimsy places for then the loss of my camera will be at the fore. Worse, I need to take PW pictures (for this though I can easily borrow my sister's camera for a day). What I do NEED is to have a camera (not a camera phone) with me all the time. I saw the perfect image just now for a submission to some competition and I couldn't capture it.

I can try to get it repaired. I don't think that would work since there's damage external and internal.

I can get a new camera but I wouldn't feel good asking my parents for one (and whether or not they will agree/nag is another issue. I think they do believe that it's partly my fault that my camera is spoilt now as I had let someone else hold it [it dropped onto the floor and even bounced with the lens exposed])

So I have no camera now.

I was not being melodramatic when I implied that I need my camera. I do use it very very very frequently. Sorry!!! DID USE IT. HECK.

What I Did Today.

2007-07-03T20:23:00.000+08:00

And yesterday.

Attempting to just do anything that comes to mind.

Today, I went to K-Box on impulse! Alone. Since I don't know many songs, I just listened to many of them.

Then, I went lingerie-trying.

After, I just slacked around.

Yesterday, out of desperation (to just just buy something and spend money), I bought a top from Mango.

All these in hopes that I will snap out of this mood/dump/whatever I am in.

Just one of those 'blah-I-can't-describe-it-perfectly-too' mood.

On other news, watching Dim Sum Dollies next Friday with my sister and my aunts.

And oh. My cousin spent his birthday (yesterday) studying for O levels--probably. Makes me feel better to think that (I got to slack!!).

I slept at a sleepover while the rest were awake! And at 730am, I woke up while they slept and watched Perfume and Friends till they woke up at 12 plus. Dumbbbb.

I like mahjong.

I tell you. I lose I also like.

Primary School Sad Stories

2007-07-01T18:42:00.000+08:00

年少时，我们大家都经历过老师对我们惨不忍睹的对待，他们都伤害了我们幼小的心灵，这些心灵的创伤是我们无法诊治的。

Jayen:
1. In Primary School, Jayen's Chinese teacher did something absolutely despicable. She told this LAZY (the worst) boy that if he does his 习字properly, his handwriting will be better than Jayen's!!!!!

2. Primary ONE (Jayen is screaming in the room right now 充满着不值): One of her classmates wanted to touch something on the teacher's table and Jayen was responsible enough to tell her not to. THEN THE TEACHER SCOLDED JAYEN!!!! For talking to the girl. Must be why Jayen now always so dao don't want to talk to people. Traumatised.

3. Primary 3: Her 听写本子got thrown out of the class by her teacher 5 days in a row as she didn't get it signed. Then again hor, it was her own fault leh.

4. Her teacher said always: "Stop talking now or I will take off your... SHOES & SOCKS!!!!!"

Gimlim:
1. His teacher used to say "那些没有签听写本子的，我叫护士给你打针！" Traumatized, he forged his mom's signature.

2. His P1 buddy peeeeeed after pooping in his pants.

3. He was class monitor for three years. (sad for such a class with no other good people or rather better people.) His teacher used to have THE FORMS to be given out everytime someone does something WRONG.

4. He always got the SECOND PRIZE for 习字 last time. Never had he won the first who had Chinese handwriting that's 'bubbly'.

AI PEE, AI CHEE, AI TUA LIAP NEE

2007-06-29T22:51:00.000+08:00

AI PEE, AI CHEE, AI TUA LIAP NEE: Teochew saying which literally translates as ' Want cheap, want pretty, want big breasts!' It is used to describe someone who wants the earth, ie. someone with unrealistic or unreasonable desires or expectations.“Singaporeans all very hard to please, one. They all ai pee, ai chee, ai tua liap nee.” -- Koped definition.

Learn a new phrase a day and keep English tuition far far away.

On other news,

TESTS (I prefer to call them exams though) ARE OVER! So what next?

So what went on directly after my last paper (lit) was training till 9pm in Yishun with me reaching home at 10pm (my dearest parents drove me home!).

So tomorrow: Audible Hearts meeting/interviews at 9am. French at 2.30pm (got homework?). Training at 5.30pm-9.30pm (clashes with French).

Sunday: Training. MaHJong!!! I hope... Got sleepover? Hope so.

Apparently Monday is Youth Day = no training! But training on Sunday?!?

Nationals: Shooting next Friday at 8.35am. Lane 2. I think.....

I have decided to 'pon' Fencing for enrichment week despite having paid for it so that I will not risk injuring myself and so that I can watch other shoot and train.

What an utterly undesirable post. Simply an update on my life. Shall end off with a nice picture then.

Okay. I lied. TWO pictures, the first being an EXCLUSIVE because it's nowhere else but in the two computers at home. I have more where it comes from. Remember how 01 used to just owned (only ONLY time I will use this word being so shagged and all from proper presentation and good English in all CTs) other classes..... !!! Seriously, Gimlim must have been pretty good at LA Art of Persuation for him to have been inspired (okay assumption that he was inspired thus) to draw such flattering propaganda poster. Wait. They tell the TRUTH.

05IP01 is just GOOOD and GREAT and whatever.

byeeee.

edit. haha. John's face is so red in that picture. Along with his wide-opened eyes, he looks like he's going to POP!

Medical Mission International

2007-06-26T23:37:00.000+08:00

I recently received a letter from the above organisation. It came in a bulging red envelope. I had intended to throw it away right after opening it just to see what it is and what they are offering me in hope that I would read and respond favourably with aid.

Then, I saw in the letter: ANGOLA.

After SMUN, I will no longer ignore any mention of ANGOLA. It's a sad, poor, pitiable African Nation in need of help!!!!

'Dear Caring Friend,

"I wouldn't give 2 cents to save the sight of an African child."

That's what someone may say in response to this letter. "Why should I care about children who are losing their sight in Angola?" ' -- Letter (comes with a photograph 3R in size too)

Well!

So after SMUN, many compatriots (we ARE all from Singapore!) of the Food-Aligned Movement (we are all FAM-ish, being part of FAM) have already posted their pictures and all. Still, here goes mine :)

Some pictures taken after the SOVIET BLOC walked out. Think they communist then what lor. We could stay in the air-conditioned room while they couldn't. More importantly, while they discussed their subsequent moves, we took pictures.!! (The top-left was taken in Eusoff Hall while waiting to check-out)
Some pictures of FAMish citizens before Closing Ceremony. Victor's (bottom-right) image has not been edited! It's pretty cool! Can like try out coloured irises on him digitally.
As part of our 'we-are-all-part-of-FAM' activity, we all had to pose for a 'hurh' picture, as suggested by Bryan (extreme top-right corner) as he is just a pro at it. Well, some of us failed. See for yourselves.

Hope to see them soon!!!

Tata.

It was a sewing kit I found in the envelope.

Studies VS Shooting

2007-06-24T21:55:00.000+08:00

Common tests' starting tomorrow.

Nationals' next Friday.

I honestly do not know which I am more concerned or will be more affected by.

Like if I fail even one subject for CTs... or I shoot badly for Nationals... Hm. I don't know which would be worse off.

I would think studies.

I am expected to do well for studies. Not just by me but just... a... it's a 'me' thing. And of course it's more likely to affect me for a longer period of time (objectively, not emotional or what).

Shooting? Maybe there's just less external pressure. =)

Don't know lah!

Don't care.

Wait till it happens first.

Wait till I flunk CTs.

Oh yes.

It will happen.

Then everyone owes me a treat to make it all the better.

Wilfred Owen

2007-06-22T21:27:00.001+08:00

Today, I started reading my yellow Wilfred Owen booklet. After a few lit lessons with a certain teacher, I had begun to not enjoy Owen, now I find that he's pretty good! Shall post some of my favourite poems of his here. Generally, I like those I can understand easily, at first reading.

Soldier's Dream

I dreamed kind Jesus fouled the big-gun gears;
And caused a permanent stoppage in all bolts;
And buckled with a smile Mausers and Colts;
And rusted bayonet with His tears.

And there were no more bombs, of ours or Theirs,
Not even an old flint-lock, nor even a pikel.
But God was vexed, and gave all power to Michael;
And when I woke he'd seen to our repairs.

Dulce Et Decorum Est

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod.
All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, -
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

The not-bads Poems (some are just too long for this entry)
Insensibility
Apologia Pro Poemate Meo
The Next War
The Chances
Smile, Smile, Smile

Okay, I haven't finished the whole book of poetry (by that I mean with analyses however minimal).

Shall return to it on Wednesday--My One Day Break!

Tata.

People who have Changed my Life

2007-06-21T22:47:00.000+08:00

I have got this sudden urge to come up with such a list. If you are not on the list, it's alright because most people who have actually affected my life wouldn't be on it. =)

1. MY SISTER!
2. Another sister. (though I am less certain of the changes)
3. My parents (I think the changes made to my life are just so.... great that I can't pin-point them)
4. Melissa & co. (from P2): showed me just how mean girls can get (well.... I was part of that 'clique' too)
5. Zixin (probably... woah. alot of these people I am not that sure of their effects on my life... just that I think.... surely they have done something to me)
6. Zixin & co.
7. Sueanne, Florence... & co.
8. Xianghui
9. Xiaowen, Liu Xuan, Kaixin (see? I can remember their names. Okay at the very least my Chinese must have improved from exposure!)
10. Kenneth, Shen Quan & Shao Yi (I have not seen them for such a long time)
11. Audrey (Han) (surely. some change.)
12. Jayen (taught me Mahjong)
13. Gimlim (made me play in class. with Ha. Really, I think after sitting with these people you get like affected.. and I really loosened up during lesson time)
14. Almost all my classmates really. Observing them has been educational.
15. Linus (surely...)
16. Calvin (think so...)
17. Some dedicated shooters or people dedicated to whatever they do.
18. Well. I think if not for Handong I would not be in shooting.

I look at the list and I don't know how many of these people have actually helped in my... development (not necessarily towards a better person).

The only people whom I can say for sure: My eldest sister (in terms of personality, intellect and interests, even in wardrobe). Kenneth, Shen Quan & Shao Yi (the 1 mth plus I really interacted with them showed me how... undesirable my character was. Even though most of this self-reflection took place way after that 1 mth). Linus & Calvin (and Deyao maybe?) were/are the people I feel compelled to take care of.

MY SISTER WINS LAH. (and I mention her at all sorts of interview scenarios)

No Offense!!!!

2007-06-15T21:45:00.001+08:00

Really I don't have any ill-feelings to those who remember my birthday as sometime else. It's quite amusing. :) Trying to explain that it's not sometime else after all.

What's Worse....

2007-06-15T21:16:00.000+08:00

My camera is still dzmaged long with my finger so no taking pictures of the cute pstries and food.

I hate this lack of control over my typing.

Yay!

2007-06-15T19:03:00.000+08:00

Read Shihui's blog! Her really old entry had this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anpanman

This makes my day!

My favourite quotes:
'Yanase became inspired by the idea of Anpanman while struggling to survive as a soldier in World War II. He many times became faced with the prospect of starvation which made him dream about eating a bean-jam filled pastry called Anpan.'

'His weakness is water or anything that makes his head dirty. ...He has two special attacks called: An-punch and An-kick. When Anpanman comes across a starving creature or person, he lets the unfortunate creature or person eat part of his head. '

'Baikinman (ばいきんまん, voiced by Ryusei Nakao): The villain in the story, coming from "Germ World" (ばいきん星), he is the leader of the Viruses. His name means "Germ Man". His ambition is to destroy Anpanman and turn the planet into another "Germ World", ...He has a weakness to soap, which shrinks him to the size of a fly.'

'Kabirunrun (かびるんるん): These are Baikinman's little henchmen. Their main purpose is to rot Anpanman's head with mildew/mold (Japanese: kabi). '

'Shokupanman (しょくぱんまん, voiced by Sumi Shimamoto): A friend of Anpanman. His head is made from sliced white bread (Japanese: shoku pan). He is level-headed and kind, but narcissistic. His job when not helping Anpanman is serving lunch to the schoolchildren. '

'Currypanman (カレーパンマン, voiced by Michiyo Yanagisawa): Another of Anpanman's friends. His head is made from curry filled bread. He is quick tempered and hot-headed on the surface, but gives way to a kind and sentimental interior. He can use the hot curry concealed in his head as a weapon. '

One of the Worst Birthdays Ever. Surely...

2007-06-15T18:30:00.000+08:00

Because it is my birthday, I give myself the authority to indulge in a pity entry.

I woke up at 6am. Training at 8-10am. Reached school at 7am and no one was around till 8 plus. Waited till 8.30am for training to start. There were only 3 of us and it was... silent. It was raining after training and couldn't get out of school. Then, I realised that I got my period. Period. Luckily I didn't sms Linus to suggest meeting before my meeting with my aunt at 1pm. The first person to wish me happy birthday was surprisingly BaoYuan. Gosh. A senior I have not seen for a year and was never EXTREMELY close to. I really appreciated that. First good thing about today. My aunt was late just slightly but that was expected. Went to Orchard Hotel for lunch and I couldn't enjoy my meal properly as my last finger on my left hand is still numb after many days. Even now, I can't type 'a' as I czn't put pressure on it. I shll wttempt to type properly (in terms of fingering) to illustrate my deficiency in typing. After that we just wlked round sANd round. My other unt cLled to wish my happy 16th birthdasy but she's a nice person and the mistke is not z mjor one.

How bad czn a birthdy get?

1. training in the morning
2. rain
3. numb finger and hurting elbow
4. just general melancholy over non-remembrance. (wuduo wished me happy birthday LAST WEEK and julie thought that my birthdy's tmr)
5. lethargy
6. spending half n hour at taka writing notes on gret ex.
7. training.

GOOD THINGS!
1. hanson's cab ride out to school.
2. the people who remember my birthdsy and let me know =) thanks.
3. getting a pair of bling bling PINK SHINY snewkers.
4. cake from Orchard Hotel in the fridge!
5. Chocolate milk now. =) =) =)

Long Time No Updates.

2007-06-10T12:42:00.001+08:00

Sorry was busy doing several things. Went for SMUN the past week. Will update soon! Met many nice people especially the people of FAM.

Now for the dream I just had!

I dreamt that I was part of a movie. An UNKNOWN movie. I am reared on an island. Orange Island or something but I totally forgot the name. There was a nice teacher who was going to give out an award for the best student in our kampong-like school. She took out all her trophies and.... Before that, there was a guest speaker (might be the teacher..) and I asked (after she talked on about topics we were not interested in) about the kites surrounding us! There was to be a kite-flying competition. And she condemned some kites especially one in the shape of a car as being too top-heavy and thus would be unable to be flown. For some reason, kites in my dream became balloons. And true enough, the car-shaped ballon (kite) couldn't stay afloat in the air!

Okay that part is hard to describe and I am lazy. Next.

I was part of a foster home. Lived in a room with two other girls and another room with an 18-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. The kitchen is amazing! We buy eggtarts by the 400s and cutesy buns (like bread-y not...) by the 100s. There were four springrolls on the table; just on the table not wrapped in anything at all. I ate one of those. One of the guys dragged me on the floor all the way to my room...

In a police headquarters. Someone broke into National Security (where weapons are kept)!!!! For some reason, I am part of the police force or whatever. Futuristic. When we activate it, by rubbing our clothes, a halographic number and codename is projected (from the shirt) proclaiming our identity. We were in pretty close proximity to the B&E people and use a slim machine to 'shoot' at them, causing halographic numbers to project from them too. We chased after them down the stairs though there were elevators. I suspected that one of them was hiding under Security garb, i.e. dark blue thingy covering the whole body, even the face and hair. We went all the way down to the ground floor and were HALTED! A company of men and women, well-dressed, was in the lobby and said that they were from the Secret Service wanting to tour the facility. We were PISSED OFF! The B&E people were EX-SS agents! In any case, there we were, useless, at the stairway...

Contemplating Puzzles.

First up, the obiang shirt I bought on Monday from Marina Square. It's obiang, but cool. I like.

My first purchase of the day! Two Penguin Bras from La Senza at $36/2! Cool right? Shihui has the same pink one. Apparently they have bigger cup sizes now but I insist on getting this. Hah!My Second Purchase! A dress from Zara at $49.90. Surely the least bargain-ful purchase of all. But it's cool! Going to wear it for SMUN Social Night thing with the theme of Purple. I LIKE! And it was pretty accidental; picked it up in the fitting rooms rack. Third, discovered a new shop Nichii Fashion City! Malaysian brand. Thus much variety and cheap! Bought that thing for $20. Last purchase of the day: a pair of ballet-shoe-like shoes for $19.90 from Tangs! To match dresses and all.All the nice shopping bags! Reaching home, my sister aided me in stuffing all into the Tangs bag so that it wouldn't seem as though I bought alot of stuff.

Surprises when we reached home!!!This black velvety jacket thing.
A pair of Skechers shoes for my sister.
A Gucci Bag.

BE JEALOUS.

Tata.

p.s. Shihui is my new best friend.

Crap Day

2007-05-21T19:48:00.000+08:00

1. Started off by waking up at 5.44am with no alarms or anything. I just woke up. Found myself on the floor (NOT on the tatami) with my head on the folded up tatami, beside my laptop (which was switched on). I see a message from Andrew sent at 1.27am. Gist was that he has sent me the essay on volcano due today. So I fell asleep and only managed to see it at 5.45am. Then. I had to make additions. All the way till 6.20am. Still, it is one of the crappiest piece of take-home essays I have done. However, considering the amount of effort that went into it... :)

[edit]1a. Once I woke up, I was made aware of the bruise I was so unfortunately gifted with at CDANS, i.e. HomeTeamNS, yesterday. Crashed my thigh into the rounded, metal-wrought, sofa frame.[/edit]

2. So we left the house at 6.40am. 20 minutes beyond the Usual Time. It was so bright I could even read a book without switching on the light. Reached school. Ran across the bridge, up to the letter trays, handed up the work, went to the wash room, ran across the bridge again. And in the process, my previously tucked-in shirt got tucked-out.

3. Reached ACS (I) for Theory of Knowledge (TOK is a subject I found out today like KI is one) Focus 2007. I valiantly stayed awake while we were waiting for the students to finish up their session at the chapel. So we waited at the Centre for Performing Arts... waited... waited... awake. Awake. Until. The talk started. It was not due to the boring nature of the talk. It was just fatigue.

4. The talk was on Descartes and al-Ghazali and oh have we done those topics in class. The Evil Demon and all. In an effort to keep awake, I wrote four pages worth of notes within an hour. And the system was faulty and every time the words managed to appear on the big screen in its entirety, it was Scribble Time! Typical Singaporean I am. The ACS (I) people were all sleeping at the back.

5. Then we watched a movie. I promptly fell asleep before I could even catch a whiff of the plot. Luckily, the movie is of a guy who keeps waking up on the same day so basically it consists of repeats of the same day with variations. I managed to catch portions from different days (cyclical state of wakefulness and delirium). I really don't see the link between faith and that movie.

6. I went off. Before debrief and post-movie discussion as did many other NJCians.

7. I found out that my internal shoot is tomorrow and not Wednesday as previously believed by me. Thus, lots of adjustments I have to make to my time table tomorrow such as not going for sexuality education tomorrow. Freak. That means that I have to go for Math at 10am (SUDDEN realisation here...)!

On a higher (but not-so-high) note:

1. I met my sister after going off from ACS (I) at Marina Square and I bought a blouse for SMUN social night. It is one of those cool things. Bought it from a shop which sells clothing very akin to cosplay stuff.

2. My mom had forgotten to bring her house keys. Called me to say that she was waiting at the poolside area. Decided not to rush home since I was so far away anyway. My dad arrived home only to find that HE didn't have his keys either. Luckily for both, there is always an extra set in the car. Proves that I am not the only one who forgets about keys sometimes!

3. I reached home at 7.32pm to pipping-hot dinner.

My Day. End. No. Work. Yes.

Good Food, Good Women

2007-05-17T00:13:00.000+08:00

Live in Singapore long enough and you will realise that good food comes with good women or... good women come with good food? Good women being a euphemism. I am not talking about virteous and morally-upright GOOD but the GOOD for company kind of women.

Think. Geylang. Think China Town (I can't remember the specific area where prostitution was once rife).

How did I notice this?

We were driving past that area in China Town and talking about how all the good food stuffs are there.

Which comes first? Which is more important?

Food or women?

Don't know lah.

HanD: ... Almost... Its the green alien in star wars.

Peixin: Bah okay. You shall have it soon. On account of you being so dear to my heart, i will teleport home at the almost-speed of light.

Controversial Issues

2007-05-03T22:33:00.000+08:00

Contrary to the title above, no controversial issues to be found here at all. I am merely contemplating if I should start posting controversial stuff or stop thinking of posting such as taboo.

I have always viewed blogs as non-private entities. If you don't want some stuff to be known, don't write it. And also, 'Do not write anything that might offend (seriously) anyone at all.'

And now I rethink the reasons.

I do not want to offend and perhaps I just don't see why I should want to incite anything unhappy, less-than-cordial over words. Ah. Am I now embarking on An Issue?

And perhaps, most importantly, though it has only just dawned upon it like right NOW, I do not like reading about 'rants etc.' on people's blogs and thus do not feel that it's morally right to subject anyone reading this blog to such. Do unto others.... you get my drift.

So what should I do when I do have something to say? I talk to myself mostly.

Bye.

Love,

Stardust!

2007-04-29T15:31:00.000+08:00

Stardust is soon-to-be released!

This is ab-so-lute-ly ex-cit-ing.

It's a Romantic Fantasy if you are not aware. Great great story. I am sure with the genius of Neil Gaiman's writing, it would translate well to film.

Okay just checked. Release in August in US. Bah. Bah. Bah. *Cries*

Really though, the trailer isn't that great. Makes it seem like an action film, fast-paced and all. No it's not like that at all (I should think). It's a mellow story. A touching story. A romantic story. A growing-up story. A Bildungsroman. Okay, not really the last.

Peixin reveals her ability for intelligent thoughts

2007-04-25T21:52:00.000+08:00

... or is it intelligent thinking? I think thoughts.

So this whole issue about CHINESE.

Chinese 'B' Syllabus.
I am of two minds over this 'B' Syllabus thing. Firstly, it's good that MOE is giving students a choice to take an easier course for Mother Tongue which is a compulsory subject.

BUT MT is just like any subject. Do we then see 'B' Math, 'B' English? Just as there are people who can't cope with the usual MT syllabus, there are definitely people who can't cope with the English & Math syllabuses. These are, too, compulsory subjects. Yet, they don't make any move to come up with an easier curriculum; in fact, Math for students seem to get harder and harder.... (I think.)

Does this then set MT apart? Does this then mean that it is not as paramount that students get a challenging curriculum for MT. Sure we can see it as 'these students who can't cope with MT would probably think that 'B' is challenging.' Then, again the question, why not 'B' Syllabus for other subjects?

This might have the adverse effect of making students feel that MT is not as important as other subjects. They might just be less motivated to work hard when first signs appear, hinting that perhaps they are just not too good at MT.

What do our teachers do when we can't cope with Math, even H1/'E' Math? What do we do? We work hard. We work harder. We go for tuition. We practise. And if all else fails, we fail lor. As easy (or hard) as that.

Further thinking has to be done on this issue of preferential treatment towards MT subjects.

Love for Culture = Cultural Activities
Is there a relation at all? Of course if one participates in cultural activities, it can be logically assume that one is interested in the culture. However, the love for one's own culture is not simply bound by official activities and school subjects. It should be nicely integrated into one's life, this love.

Why is it important to know one's Mother Tongue?
It's about building an identity. Yes, we are all Singaporeans in Singapore. Nonetheless, we have our own races too. 'I am a Chinese,' I say. And if I can't even speak my own MT, am I still qualified to label myself 'Chinese', stating that as my identity? Sure, I can be Chinese genetically, but what about spiritually, mentally, emotionally, whatever? It's identity we want. Not very convincing, isn't it, for one unable to communicate in his MT to identify himself as part of his race?

When I was in Secondary School, I had friends, acquaintances, eager to tell that they can't speak a word of Mandarin, can't converse well in Mandarin. I didn't think that was something to be proud of at all! It's something lacking in them, this inability. Perhaps, they were hinting at the apparent opposite which is that they can converse really well in English. Now, is that something special at all? Something to be proud of? Sadly, amongst all my friends, almost all can converse in English rather well, hence diminishing the worth of this 'talent'. Now, there are the rare few people I have come in contact with who can converse both in English and another language, mostly their Mother Tongues. Those people truly have something to be proud of, something special in them. Sadly, I am not part of that group of people; I am not that fluent in the expression of ideas in Mandarin at all.

And why all this rambling on about all of the above?
I have got an interview for an award for effective bilingualism on Friday. I don't think I will receive it really. Not because I am not a good student blah blah blah, but I don't think I am who they are looking for. I do not participate in much Chinese-related activities nor work hard at promoting our great culture. Really. I am just a student who once took 'O' Level Higher Chinese Paper and a person who thinks that being good at one's Mother Tongue is a good thing.

That's all.

Now for Literature VA. Wilfred, here I come!

Conversations with a Person

2007-04-24T20:07:00.000+08:00

These conversations are unsought for. Unwanted. Avoided.

Still they happen. Along corridors. With a certain distance between us.

To HIM I talk to.

HE thinks that I am in Drama.

HE knows my NAME.

HE shoves his face into people's.

HE is HIM.

HIM is in H1 Mathematics.

HIM is in Aerius.

HIM saying 'HI SHIHUI' to Shihui too doesn't make me feel any better.

HIM is... I don't know how his name is spelled.

In Danger!!!

IN DANGER!!!!! !!!!!

I REBEL! I PROTEST!

In other news, Mr. Alvin Leong has a scary, maniacal laugh which he bestowed upon us at the start of KI today. We were given AJC J1 Promotional Paper to do. He DID warn us and wished us fun and luck before leaving 6 of us in the library instruction room 1. Oh yes he did. He said 'okay. have fun.' Boy did we have fun. It was all about aesthetics and all.

Basically, it sucked huge enormously.

Oh my dear friends. Let us all join hands to do something. Just something.

Perhaps shopping. What think you of that?

Reply to Shihui's 4th April Post

2007-04-20T19:10:00.000+08:00

See lah. I don't read blogs one what.

So here are 6 things you probably already know about me.

1. I get anal about stuff real easy. SO YOU BETTER USE PROPER ENGLISH WHEN WITH ME AH.

2. I try to consciously use Singlish. It's like building a Singapore Identity. Important. Everyone, let's all use our colloquial language!

3. I get real excited over stuff. Like volcanoes. Like anything I am doing a project on. Like volcanoes, like supply-side policies, like physics. No wonder I am a good student.

4. I fancy myself a Scienc-y Humanities student. Science is a hobby; Humanities is my passion and life!

5. What else? Ohhhhhhhh. I love love love love love my glasses!!!! All of them. And I buy things to match my glasses. For people who have noticed that I have quite alot of lime green stuff, those are bought after I purchased my lime green & white glasses. I even bought shoes to match them. Before, I had my Pretty Perfect Plastic Purple Specs (PPPPS).

6. I often feel the urge to just shriek. It's a nice feeling. Ohhhh. So nice. So I shriek and move around.

OM amongst other things

2007-04-16T19:47:00.000+08:00

So we went off for the competition. We got nice Green Tee-Shirts. And then we won. Champions. We totally performed our best ever.

We got slightly high. Mr. Tan and Mr. Low treated us to Crystal Jade at J8.

We slept the whole of yesterday away. All of us.

Now we want to go to Michigan.

Today, I spent more than an hour just viewing campaign videos. I see that as a sign of how serious I am about this whole council campaign thing. A few words of encouragement and advice:

1. Our school is NOT in dire need of rescuing. As such, we do not need 5 people to change the batteries to a clock. No, some of you please, go fix the light bulb. Or... cure the walkway of the flood-y curse.

2. When things get too dark, not only do we get the shivers, we can't see your faces.

3. I am not sure if being like fish-balls are good.

4. Tele-tubbies have got television screens on their stomachs and do not wear drape-cloth.

5. Really really I wonder what these candidates' views are on lousy posters vs none at all.

6. What's with the emo songs? (really, this was sort of raised by Ms Jasmine Seah.)

7. Thanks to the seniors who thought up the brilliant idea of shifting a canteen bench in front of the big screen for our viewing pleasures.

8. I saw something which says "I bribe you, You vote for me." Actually, make that a few things.

I am NOT against anyone in particular here since I can't actually remember the people whom I guess I am referring to in the above statements. I DO however remember some names and they shall not be stated here for I really do not want to be so... vocal about what I really do think about some of them. =)

But really, these people have all put in their utmost; the least we can do for them is to go to school on Wednesday. See you then!!!!

We were great!

Gimlim & I sat out since it was a 'hands-on' problem and oh am I glad I did that! Wouldn't have contribute much really if I participated. The team was great!

Upon hearing there were points for 'team-work' ==

Xinyuan: "Come on team! We can do it! We have time." Something like that.
Gha: "Wu Duo, I can't split this thread! Can you please help me?" Something like that.
Peixin & Gimlim: Sat at one side, exclaiming and clapping at our teammates' genius (but really, they were amazing) and started the 'yah' cheer.

Good for US!

Shihui is bored. Shihui needs to DO something. Shihui recorded a video of herself singing The Banana Song (really, what's it called, anyone?). Shihui NEEDS Amusement.
Shihui found Amusement. Shihui is preparing.
Shihui kisses the unsuspecting Xuandao. This author postulates that Xuandao was lovin' it (& will be lovin' it so for some time to come, at least till the end of this term).

Klear Cuts at Far East. The Shampoo Guy was really sweet in calming all of Splendorous Shining's fears and jitters.

My Lovely Life Loved by Leaves Lived by Lies

2007-03-27T11:31:00.000+08:00

Hello People From Earth,

My life is utterly lovely at the moment. Not being sarcastic, caustic, acerbic, ironic, jaded, cynical, felicitous at all. =)

What a fulfilling life I lead. Let me advise all of you. Really. My subject combination is the bestest of all. Like oh-so-really.

Yay! No homework.

Mel says hi.

Shihui does not. No, she isn't making any comments at all.

No homework. All I have are wonderful essays. I love them. I adore them. I enjoy them. I get excited. I just am attracted to them.

Here I write a little poem:

The butterflies in the air are flying.
I walk towards a field. The birds are me.
Shihui is a cool cow.
Mel is a cooking cow.
Gha is a nice cow.
And I am mad cow.

That's all! *smiles*

Oh wait, and Gha writes REALLY interesting essays. cuz she's REALLy smart! :D :D :D

And Now I Pose This Question to Gha: Who's Marilyn Monroe's Husband?

See the Real Answer is only known to Gha who eats Smarties every day. The answer is really John F. Kennedy, not Darling Joe at all.

KI seems real technical. Yesterday, Mr. Alvin Leong taught us the differences between using compound sentences and complex sentences when writing thesis statements. Yippee Yippee Yay.

Xuandao thinks that our Geography Project should be entitled SHIT. At least that's what I surmised with him typing SHIT (font size 200) again and again on a Word Doc in CS22 when we were discussing it. It really will work I think. We are supposed to show how reimaging has changed the urban structure of an ELDC. We can focus on the cleaning up of rivers such that they are not shit-infested. That probably would work! Yay.

The significance of the sewage system on the image of a city is not to be discounted.

Do you want to be a cow? Angel Clare wants to be a cow, if he's already not one. Now, let me impart some knowledge, Angel Clare IS already a cow, he's not at all the young man whose father is a pastor who is attracted to Tess in the novel Tess of D'Urbervilles by the esteemed Thomas Hardy. That is if Mel is a credible source. I would need my Credibility notes for that evaluation.

Thomas Hardy is surely part of Hardy Boys? I never did read Hardy Boys. I read Secret Seven though. Like Secret Service you know? Who are the Hardy Boys? What a mystery. Maybe I can hire the (freak what's that three-persons group?) to find that out for me. For all I know, they are Soviet Spies who caused the Cold War to end and the Marshall Plan to be totally cool as to be included in history textbooks.

All I remember of that three-persons group is that the smartest guy in the group won the use of a limo by guessing correctly the number of beans in a jar.

I need a new school bag. Maybe I will get a boxy, silver one. One that looks like it came from a set of an old futuristic movie. That is a paradox. Not an oxymoron. I think... It makes sense after all. And then I can be a real Sciency Humanities student.

Edit: Sorry, I missed out the concluding paragraph. In this paragraph, I am supposed to rephrase my thesis statement, give some new recommendations and write of the FUTURE. Here goes:

Life in NJC is really fulfilling and fun, especially life as an IP3 Humanities student. One gets to make great friends who are so smart as to know the unconventional such as Hamlet being the Prince of Ham. Truly, if I were not here in this school, taking the subjects I am taking, meeting the people I am meeting, I would never have learnt that (along with other interesting things). My recommendation is thus join in the fun! Do not concentrate on the dreary aspects of school though there really is none, is there? The future looks great to me and my life is lovable.

Life is Loved and Looked and Liked and Licked and Loosened and LIVED. :)

I promise myself that soon, I will do a post on ABSOLUTE DOUBT.

2007-02-17T09:19:00.000+08:00

I think Terrence said that... So here goes...

I walked all the way up to TC31. Nearing there, I saw a whole bunch of bags and files and whatevers on the sill. I thought the students owning them had all disappeared into the recesses of the washroom probably, having to have one of those Shared-Washroom Experience. And then... I walked on to a scene... They looked forlorn, like a row of soon-to-be jailbirds or a row of construction workers so hoping that someone will hire them. And then... Colours were added into their lives. And us observers can see that they were all having fun really :) 'cept maybe for Shihui--her face all scrunched up.The Guys of our English Literature Class. We should name our class or something. John kept his Cool in front of the camera, as he is surely experienced in being the centre of all captivation, but Terrence looked like he had just drunk some bitter medicine. Of course, he might just be a believer that being in a picture equates having a part of his soul stolen.Then, the emo-ness of the seal's expression was noticed. Thus, the picture above. I wonder if there's some significance that that seal belongs to Shihui, courtesy of Gimlim, its looks being so dramatically emo and all.We are all happy students being in the ARTS STREAM. We love our fantastic subject combinations and especially our English Literature class. We can count and there are 6 people in the picture.
Lastly, my favourite picture of all! Somehow the whole black-n-white thing really works at bring attention to the Subjects of the Image--the people. And the Theme too--Plain Ol' Fun of the stars in the 40's.

Valentine's Day of Choice

Ernest was earnest in proving his love for all of us with a sprig of life. (Or rather a leaf of it, not to be taken as 'a leave of life'.)

Before our Annual Picture with Mrs Tan on CNY, we had our Sneak Preview on this Very Special Day. My Friend, Shihui. Need I say more? (No, no camera effects like... 'stretch the face')You know, one of my favourite album in this laptop of mine unnamed is the 'people of 05ip01' album. Now, it seems apropros to have a New Favourite: "people of IP (Re: Spastic but not Mental)".

A myraid of things featuring the academic side of ip students.

2007-02-12T20:07:00.000+08:00

So in the morning, all of us, as usual, met for the Daily Homework Session or rather Mass-Copying (MC), almost as though we took a MC during the weekends and just couldn't complete our work then. So who can name ALL the people at that table? Who's copying whose work in the top right picture?

During English Literature, Ghariza wisely informed me that Hamlet's the Prince of Ham. And Jamie was GRAVELY misunderstood by Mr. Whitby. No, Sir, she was not thinking 'boobies'* when we spoke of Shakespeare's Bust; nor was she thinking 'flasher' when she insightfully stated that the phrase 'riding all cities.' from the amazing poem with a didactic tone 'An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum' equates Shakespeare being well exposed.

*Boobies: The best damn things since peanut butter.

Now, the above looks like the average Geography Classroom. Only... Can you see that guy asleep out there far off from the door from which this picture was taken?

LET ME ZOOM IT... ...

That guy in the picture sleeping is WEILIANG. (let's call him W. from here on to minimise the embarrassment) There are about 18 of us taking Geography or so in IP3. And none of us, 'cept for him, is in the picture. Approximately 5 minutes before the end of lesson today, I was struck by the oddness of everyone's behaviour. I didn't know what was going on 'cept that we were all to creep out of the room real softly... ... even Ms Ting.

We left. Only to leave poor W. at the mercy of... ... our senior class--the 04ip-ers. I am struck now by a bout of consciousness. Were we wrong in doing so? I mean... was it our fault that W. couldn't be awaken even after some people made weird noises, calling out to him... after someone called him on the phone? After he was being ogled at with cameras aimed at him?

Anyway, he slept till we were about 5 minutes late for Civics and us all crowded outside the room got our dear seniors to wake him.

He walked out of the room to a warm reception. Applauses all round.

So, how's this for a school-ish post? =)

We love xuandao, truly.

4. Coolness lessons by Appropriate People, i.e. not Zhirong probably.
5. How to take care of one's hair with STYLE, free gift of hairgel of a reputable brand.

6. Maybe some tanning lotion. =)

What else?

Do contribute to this Great Endeavour!

2007-02-11T11:54:00.000+08:00

I love taking pictures of people. So I shall bring my camera to school every day now and capture the best images for this blog.

How's that?

Remember to pose for me:)

Oh yes! I attained a B+ for MATH TUTORIAL and I got a STICKER!!!!!

Okay I shall really really bring my camera to school every day.

All I need to do now is to get it charged AND make sure people other than SHIHUI & GEN pose for pictures, i.e. don't evade me.

Can you read my mind?

OH GOSH! SOMEONE FOUND A HUMAN FINGER IN HIS CHOCOLATE!!!!!

The demand for chocolate from that brand will surely fall now if only we know which brand. And then we can have a whole new Econs case study.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070208/od_nm/fingertip_chocolate_dc;_ylt=Auckyxjid5FMl93bz638Ku_tiBIF

And another person REQUESTS to be JAILED for EATING CHOCOLATE because by doing so, he was 'benefiting from child slavery on cocoa farms in Ivory Coast'.

'Van de Keuken said he has now brought one of these former child slaves to testify in court against him.'

Are you gay or not? It's in your hands!

2007-02-04T23:05:00.001+08:00

From NewScientist.

Measure your "second to fourth digit ratio" (2D:4D), using a photocopy of your palm, starting at the crease nearest your palm.

Your 2D:4D seems to be a measure of the levels of sex hormones you were exposed to when you were in your mother's womb. The more testosterone, the longer your ring finger will be; the more oestrogen, the longer the index finger.

Women tend to have a ratio close to 1, while men are usually lower at around 0.96.

Traditional 'male' qualities such as assertiveness and skill at certain mathematical tasks such as rotations are more likely to be found in both men and women with a low 2D:4D.

Low-ratio men have more sexual partners and more children.

Most fertile women are those with high 2D:4D.

High-ratio people of both sexes are more likely to be neurotic.

Gay men seem to have a relatively high 2D:4D; lesbians have a low ratio.

Women with higher ratios seem to be more susceptible to breast and cervical cancer; high-ratio men tend towards heart disease

Anyone with a low 2D:4D is likely to have higher than average aerobic efficiency.

This leads me to ask the question: Can THIS KNOWLEDGE BE TRUSTED? How do WE KNOW?

Meantime, let us all enjoy this little activity and despair over the contraction of breast cancer. =)

A Wedding Rhyme.

Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you will live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.

A green dress is thought to be unlucky unless the bride is Irish. The old expression that a woman has a 'green gown' was used to imply promiscuity, the green staining being due to rolling in grassy fields.

Aiyah. Marry in Yellow, get Pikachu the good fellow.

Student wants to 'rent' a girlfriend

"... Zhu was trying to show filial piety to his parents but was only cheating them."

Everything I post today shall be Sad.

Rooster with Duck's Feet

A Lady Forced to Wear a Dog's Collar

"He said he thought forcing the woman to wear a dog collar and call him master would build a more trusting relationship."

I would rather dead roses than the roses sold by Interact Club...

2007-01-30T22:09:00.000+08:00

... if only they are more special.

"Roses are red. Violets are blue. Our love died, now why don't you? With Valentine's Day approaching, love is the air -- and so is revenge, with jilted lovers sending bitter notes, funeral wreaths and even dead fish to former partners."

"...www.Poisonpen.com, which, for a small fee, will send an anonymous poison pen card or letter to a former lover... It's like therapy, only cheaper," said Harris, whose motto is: "When you care enough to send the very worst.""

"Since 1998, he has sent dozens of dead roses across the United States, Canada, and as far away as Sweden and Germany. He makes sure to include the thorns.

"They're carefully dried so they won't fall apart during shipping, unless of course you want them smashed. We don't charge extra for smashing," he said."

"Rather than chocolates you could also send melted chocolates, bittersweet as well as milk, to an old flame."

"If none of the above satisfies the desire to get even, www.ThePayback.com offers to send a smelly, dead fish to the one who did you wrong."

""Don't get mad, get even.""

I think it is KIND of me then not to get anyone any gifts for Valentine's Day. It's nicer, isn't it, comparatively?

For $5,700 Australian sells life on eBay site

"Nicael Holt sold his name, phone number and all his possessions, including clothes, CDs, a surfboard, a laptop, a wonky pushbike, childhood photos and a “nice lamp” given to him by an ex-girlfriend, on the Internet auction site. "

"The applicant bid US$5,790 last week to become Holt, right down to spending Christmas with his parents and inheriting “some tension with a former ex from a painful breakup.” "

"...the winner would be entitled to a four-week training course in how to be him—including lessons on how to surf, climb, skateboard, fire twirl and do handstands—as well as two months of on-call support afterward. "

"promised to introduce the winner to all his friends and potential lovers, including eight people he had been flirting with... “Lifestyle is very social. It includes a lot of going out,” "

Almost the whole article is up there. BUT NOTE THIS:

"Holt, a philosophy student from the southern coastal city of Wollongong.... Motivating factors were boredom and intrigue as to what constitutes a life and what made him who he was."

GOSH! How deep his thinking goes, as deep as the rabbit hole.

So people, tell me, how much would YOU pay to be me?

Or rather, how much do YOU want ME to pay you to be me?

GLASS DOES NOT FLOW. IT'S NOT LIQUID-Y AT ALL!

I was so traumatised reading that, that I didn't dare venture further into the article for fear of expiration!

WHO TOLD ME THAT GLASS FLOWS?

WHO MADE ME THINK THAT I KNEW SOMETHING THE REGULAR PEOPLE DON'T KNOW?

WHO? WHO? WHO?

MY TEACHERS!

ARE TEACHERS RELIABLE SOURCES OF KNOWLEGE? DO THEY LIE?

DUH UH.

or maybe... the prof writing that article is NOT a reliable authority. What's the probability? It's like (prof in glass studies, primary sch Science teacher educated at NIE) C 1.

This proves what students instinctively know: that teachers are just not reliable.

pfft.

Why I got my hair cut last Tuesday

2007-01-28T22:30:00.000+08:00

Neat hair shows someone likes you enough to do the bits around the back

'... with the exception of the musk ox, humans are the only mammals with almost continuously growing hair... leg hairs... last around two months, armpit hairs left to their own devices make it to six months, but head hairs grow nonstop for six years or more.'

'...precisely because our head hair needs so much care, it makes a perfect billboard upon which individuals can advertise their social standing. Good grooming is a social enterprise, and so shows you are part of the in-crowd, that you have friends and the social skills to keep them.'

'"You must not only be good enough and skilled enough literally to have time on your hands, but also dexterous enough not to make a hash of this delicate operation." So good grooming also requires reciprocity--to trust and to be trusted. This might explain why long, lank, unkempt locks are traditionally the mark of the outcast, the lunatic and the social pariah.'

Final Note: 'The unmistakable conclusion is that, along with warrior and prostitute, one of the oldest professions was probably hairdresser.'

Note: This is not MY view at all! I mean... I think GENEVIEVE, HUIZHEN, just about almost every girl in our class (yes, including me), I think: We are friends to each other and we have the ability to keep each other. Also, We are not lunatics, nor are we social pariahs. =)

Sex, Marriage & God

2007-01-27T22:43:00.000+08:00

The above is the exact heading copied out of an issue of NewScientist.

Marriage and Religion share the honours of being lousy for Sex Lives.

"Married women typically find it harder than single women to negotiate safer sex and condom use, leaving them more vulnerable to infections and unplanned pregnancies."

Of course we cannot forget the guys who can't even use to have IUDs or pills to protect themselves. However, there is hope for this gender!

"People who follow religions that frown on contraception still have more children than they can support..."

Pika, No Chu

2007-01-27T22:26:00.000+08:00

The American Pika can teach us about survival of rare species.

Too bad this NewScientist article is not for public reading too!

Main Points are as Follow:

This guy says "We don't have to worry about species that are rare everywhere they live, if they live in lots of places." What matters most for conservation is the probability of extinctions on a global and continental scale. The Pika has been around for almost a million years! In comparison, Pikachu has been around since 1997.

If you want to know the exact stuff mentioned in the article, ask me. Interesting stuff might be: so what is the impact of this article? How did they arrive at this conclusion?

2007-01-25T20:14:00.000+08:00

So you think you know what eggcorns are?

It's not scrambled eggs with corn.

I quote from NewScientist:

'Do you get "boggled down" trying to explain things in "lame man's terms"? When the "chickens come home to roast" do you find yourself "cutting off your nose despite your face"? Do these errors make you want to "kill over and die"?.... ....Though incorrect, eggcorns are often more satisfying or poetic than the correct word or expression.... A layman is certainly lame compared with an expert...

What distinguishes such a mistake from an ordinary malaprop--a word that is unintentionally misused through confusion with one that sounds similar--is the creativity and logic behind them. Eggcorns make sense at some level.'

Eh. Don't you people think that eggcorns are just like IP kids? We are creative and logical... only at some level.

Quote Again: '... eggcorns show how people connect what they have heard with what they know, and they demonstrate one way that standard spelling evolves... Will eggcorns like these continue to hatch? This is a moot point (or is that a mute point?)'

Too bad this article is not free for public online.

My Sticker Collection & She who stole my two best sticker albums

2007-01-23T20:55:00.000+08:00

Them who are smart knows that I cry when I play mahjong. And then I win.

Them who talk to Gimlim MIGHT know that I cry when I am really angry (yahh la! Spoil my rep lorz. Now people don't take it seriously when I seem to be angry).

Them who knows me know about my sad childhood. No Mars bar; No Game of Life; No tuition.

AND TWO STOLEN STICKER ALBUMS.

So at the age of 7, I was the proud owner of some FIVE sticker albums. They were my pride and joy; some stickers were even magical (my sister magicked them for me; this trick would be for another post so as to not detract attention). I was a student of this after-school centre, its name I shall not divulge in case of law suits, and I met a girl.

Was she pretty? Was she short? I suffer from a vicious attack of can't-remember-anything-but-her-viciousness.

She wanted to view my wonderful stickers. I let her. I let her bring my TWO BEST ALBUMS HOME.

I never saw them again.

Weeks later, she held by the mantra that her mom didn't allow her to bring sticker albums to school. Of course her mom was sloppy enough not to have added a her in front of sticker albums. So I lost all my magical stickers.

Now, sticker-collection holds bad memories. But, should I rise up to the challenge and mental pain and battle ahead? Should I... *gasps* buy new stickers?

Anyway, I left the after-school care centre with a not-yet-broken but punched and poked-with-holes heart. The cold lunches didn't help cement my love for that place.

So how?

What the heck lor! Those are MY STICKER ALBUMS!

I am really thankful for having such great friends. I wonder if it's a matter of coincidence that SHIHUI is part of both spastic pictures here and many more at http://sg.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/skinnyscarzcrow/slideshow?.dir=/935ascd&.src=ph.

Thanks Ha.

2007-01-11T21:30:00.000+08:00

Ha is a great friend. She asked after me even after I was just pure mean to her this morning.

Though she wouldn't read this I think.

Thanks too to everyone who has been tolerant of me these few days.

I think it's the lack of sleep and stress getting to me.

That's all.

Thank You.

Guardian Unlimited--my unexplored good friend

2007-01-07T19:44:00.000+08:00

For all you kids out there taking GP or KI, do visit http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/index.html. It's Guardian Unlimited's comments page. Great essays, humourous in style and persuasive--certainly a treasure trove of GP-style essays.

Of course the conventional GP essay is not as biased, not as... free in structure. However, if you achieve such a standard of writing for GP, with the right amount of humour and excellent construction of words, I don't see why you can't impress Cambridge.

Of course using black ink and writing nice and big are pre-requisites.

For a start: Terry Jones' articles on Bush who apparently is a 'despot' and an 'Armageddonist' and has spent a million US dollars on each Iraqi killed in the Iraq War.

p.s. I doubt the last statement. Given that many, do I dare say most, Iraqi deaths go unreported due to the inability of the US army to identify the cause.

Ten is the Number

2007-01-06T19:43:00.000+08:00

1. Today, I attended the first French lesson at Alliance Francais.

2. Ghariza told Shihui that YES INDEED I am the ONLY one taking that ultra special and cool subject combination for this year. I suspected this when I walked into H1 Math Intro. Lecture and saw only two other IP students who are not taking the same subjects as me.

3. The above-mentioned ABSOLUTELY cool and great combination goes: KI, Geography, Economics and English Literature at H2 and Mathematics at H1.

4. H1 Mathematics class: 8 students INCLUDING mainstream. 1 Lecture, 2 Tutorials/week.

5. I have a one-page reflection essay to write after watching Ping Pong (like the show, not the sport).

6. My new mission is to become a 'No-Brand' person. I started well with an ebase pencil case!

7. I bought something that says 'u tHink I cArE?'

8. My $62 frame finally came home. It has the green and forest-y jigsaw in it of course.

9. My 'I am just a kid' look goes: 05ip01 polo-tee with jeans, pink adidas bag and bright and clean nike shoes.

10. 10 is indeed the number. It was what a J1 shot yesterday at CCA Fair yesterday. One of the first few students who came in too! How exciting. And... astonishing.

Notice that Gen loves eating serviettes (I wonder if that signifies her... unusual appetite) and she does so so seriously too. Tse Mei was apologetic (not at all UnapologeticallyTseMei) eating focacia sandwich. Gen eats untidily (see her plate). Wu Duo eats dantily (I mean, balancing pizza on knife, with the aid of the fork slowly channeling it into her mouth?!) On my left were Jayen, Ha, Shiane and Wu Duo. On my right were Gen, Tse Mei (that one with Monster Smile), Shining and Biq, the two stone-y people. Lastly, I am in the middle of the nine people of 05ip01 enjoying our meal at New York New York! from 11.45 - 12.45pm, 3rd Jan 2007.

If you are old enough, your mind mature enough, to be able to know which square you would next land on without counting aloud as you move yourself/your counter, stop playing that game and let others who actually depend on counting aloud to move, thus mastering their 123's.

If you are old enough, your mind mature enough, to WANT to roll a certain number so as to advance your game, consider getting out of the playroom perhaps?

If you are old enough, your mind mature enough, to want the above AND be able to rig a roll, get the hell out of the playroom and don't even touch Monopoly...

The Hideous Creation that is the NJC Uniform (Girls)

2006-12-24T00:28:00.000+08:00

Now what's with the lousy cut of the skirt? That flared-A-lined thing. We are not all (note: not 'all not') in possession of tiny waists and wide, fleshy hips. After all, we are not Barbie dolls.

And it's not as though the design of the TOP gives any thought at all to huge boobs.

So what?

We are all normally-shaped at the top and have Barbie-bottoms?

Is that insulting or what?

On the other hand... this abominable design might be just so such that members of the male species are not Tempted--just like the pinafores of the CHIJ schools.

Our uniforms--Keepers of our Virtue & Always Sustaining our Virteous State.

Bless them.

The Good Service of Pizza Hut

2006-12-24T00:24:00.000+08:00

I was there. Was offered Iced Water even before I was properly seated. Ordered my food.

After quite a long while, this lady came to me with a loaf (or what do you call it? A bar?) of garlic bread. I thought I won some Christmas draw or something.

I was informed that my pasta would be 'quite a little bit late' so I had the bread.

Then, four minutes later, just as I had expected and mused, my pasta came.

I timed.

I 1/4-expected the lady, when first approaching me, to have expected me to pay for the garlic bread.

The Brand 'Guess'

2006-12-21T18:31:00.000+08:00

Now just imagine that 'Guess' might just be the result of an advertising campaign that worked too well...

... or screwed up big-time.

Perhaps the advertisers had wanted to whet the appetites of consumers, wanting them to watch out for the next commercial, hoping that they would be hopping to GUESS the brand name.

Alas, the name stuck.

... or should it have been...

'Fortunately, the name stuck?'

It was rainy today such that...

2006-12-19T20:53:00.000+08:00

... NJC side-gate had no guard.

Of course with the rain, we don't have to worry about bomb-scares.

So what if the terrorists are smart enough to get the bomb under shelter, away from the dampening rain?

NJC's buildings leak.

Hi, I'm Lin Peixin.
I had a nice night and half-a-day with my dear Genevieve Thong Minh-Lynn or it might be Thong Minh-Lynn Genevieve. Also, I had the company of some other people and we thoroughly enjoyed watching Friends, which doesn't at all mean that we all spent alot of time watching each other but rather watching the TV series on DVD.

I paid for Gimlim's Manicure. Or was it Shyen's?

But it is alright since he paid for lunch. A nice boy he is though we didn't have any of his mates--Taugay Child, Taugay Toddler, Taugay Girl, Taugay Mom and Dad.

So we're all happy people. A star for all of us.

-----------------------------

Let's play a game!

What's the first adjective that comes to mind when you think Lin Peixin?

Do say. Tag. Do not be influenced by others' answers!

Chronicles of Taugay Boy #5

2006-12-08T23:28:00.000+08:00

I have it on great authority that Taugay Boy is attempting to become a Tauguy soon.

I wonder why.

On other news, Seah Gimlim's birthday is coming up on the 10th of December 2006 sadly. Oh wait. That makes it sound as though he is about to be born on that unfortunate Sunday. Not at all.

Just that... That day marks the date he would be able to buy NC16 DVDs/VCDs from Poh Kim with no fear...

Even though I still think he would be checked.

A Taugay will always look like a Taugay and not old enough.

p.s. I am sure to forget about the above event on the day itself, thus making it neccessary for me to acknowledge it now before I get accused. Bye.

Let's Examine Shihui for the heck of it.

The Violence In me.

2006-12-03T20:15:00.000+08:00

Whenever I am about to be back to using the Blade, my heart rate spikes.

I imagine the blood and the sharpness of the Blade.

Do I have some hidden violent tendencies in me?

Maybe I will murder all of you in your sleep and you will all DIE.

Ha.

3-for-$10 things.

2006-12-03T13:48:00.000+08:00

Now, when the idea of 3-for-$10 bras came up in a conversation, I thought it a flippant comment. Never did I realise that this IS a common idea after all.

They are EVERYWHERE. Insidious.

I am turning into a cyber-recluse.

I amuse myself daily with mastering the Pen Knife as I tackle 298 A4-sized pieces of paper in preparation for the 05ip01 thing. Also, the 1000-piece puzzle.

Oh yeah. And I was mistaken for JAYEN when I went to frame my 500-piece puzzle! At first the lady thought I was JAYEN's friend I think... As in JAYEN's friend who's not Peixin. Then after that, I said I live in Seng Kang then she thought I was JAYEN. I was informed that JAYEN has sent TWO puzzles (good lah. I am a slowpoke. Luckily I am pretty sure GIMLIM's slower still) for framing and the 1000-piece one was waiting in the shop for collection. She chose a SILVER frame I think with REFLECTIVE GLASS. And it's mostly green... or blue. Green. I think.

So I think the class chalet thing is falling through. Shall plan a lunch thing then.

Till then.

See you.

Saturday is Yesterday

2006-11-26T17:18:00.000+08:00

I woke up at 8am 'cause I had OM meeting at 9.30am.

The day before I cancelled another volunteer work meeting from 10am-12noon so that I could go for the OM meeting.

When I reached school, I was the only one there.

And no, no one else was arriving.

After 10 minutes, I headed home.

My accomplishment of the day: I ran into school in less than 10 min from the bus-stop opposite the road, over the bridge, pass RGPS, into NJC.

:)
