adopt your own virtual pet!

*********************

i forgot to mention daddy's coming home tonight! :D

and my brother,
i havent seen him for days.
i think he went thailand ;x

i say, i dont like doing things i can't.
damned homework :(
but for the sake of my A-levels, i will endure!
(and lionel has to endure more! :D)

cant help thinking of the science/arts faculty thingy
like how some pple get into the science stream because its easier to earn marks
i mean, really,
compare a maths equation which will give you one mark to half a page of paragraphs which might not even give you half a mark.
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!

and to top it off, arts pple are generally looked down upon or considered not as smart as science students because why?
take Olevels. science stream need lower points damnit.

THIS IS HOW I THINK OF IT:
ARTS NEED HIGHER POINTS BECAUSE ITS MORE DIFFICULT TO DO, SO THERE.

and all this because i have geog/econs essays to write ;x

THREE MORE WEEKS.
THEN SAY GOODBYE TO THE EVERTIMECONSUMING BAND.

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

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
From the beginning...to the end.

He noted that first came her date of birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her,
Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house..the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,
That can still be rearranged.

If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel

And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile..
Remembering that this special dash
Might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say
About how you spent your dash?

- say, i never knew there was so much about a little dash.

went to sch today.
not school particularly, but singapore conference hall

OH GOSH, THE MEMORIES THAT COME FLOODING BACK.
and im not joking.
even the top line is a memory
i remember msging one of kael/billy
(see how theyve changed names?) that
"there's practice in sch then in SCH" or something like that :D

yjwinds abit the pro hor.
walk in then set up instruments liao
right at the door, lol.

glanced up, saw the vending machines,
wondered if they still sold the same things,
the orange juice, the m&m's,
the bestfriend? :D

saw the area outside,
the bench is still there,
where this -censored- was practising his solo two years back
lots of zharbors were checking him out, lol.
but that "i saw what you did" condescending tone,
like we were doing anything wrong D;

walked up the steps,
remembered how i used to walk around in the glaring red fire-engine blazer,
remembered on our syf day,
we were all outside,
watching the screen which was screening -censored (band name)- 's syf
(in other words, whats going on in the hall, but im sure you all knew that)
and meroy (heng) saying "look at how theyre sitting.. okay, everybody dont look and learn!"
and the next band (which was the one before ours), "first note also out of tune already!"

and then returning back one day after school to watch,
and leaving the place with bestfriend, another bestfriend, and xiaodi.

goodness.

ordered mac's for lunch
theyre so efficient its irritating, lol.
the order was huge (think 57 burgers, half of which are meals) ,
so they said they'd probably be done in an hour (by 1pm)
five minutes later they called and said the delivery guy was on his way (at 12nn!)
like, ZOMG!

the delivery guy called me: "heeellllllllllooooooooooooo?"
he said need at least ten pple to go carry all the food
'cos the security guard didnt allow them to drive in
there were only 6 of us,
all the welfare comm's percussionists who werent practising,
so we went.

there were three bikes (and three deliverymen, one bike was pink! :D)
they were in a rush, so we couldnt make two trips to the canteen and back,
and they didnt even let us bring their carriers!
that would have been so helpful la please.
instead of carrying all those paperbags
i swear, we must have killed half a forest already :(
but we managed to carry all of it! :D

the guy was damn lame
"you all how many days never eat already?"
"eh? seventh month not here yet what"
-__________-

this time food allocation was quite efficient
what with the meals and ala cartes and fries and cokes and different burgers,
what a hassle -.-

rushed out of school and went vegetarian-food hunting with nawei,
couldnt wait to throw myself into a freezer

came back to school and realized afternoon bandprac was cancelled.
section waited for me before they started eating,
thanks much.

stayed back and totally drained my energy,
even just watching them play games was so exhausting
laughed till i almost died.

lionel, jialiang, hengky, zhe liang, alvin, alvina, joanna, minzhen, lynn, betty,
play heartattack play until really heart attack.
was hilarious watching them swarm to the "smack" spot,
at times disturbing the teachers and guanyu, weisheng and co.,
playing indian poker,
goooooooooooodnesssssssssssss.
makes for some stress-relief.
i was thinking like "its good to let go of the studying for awhile"..

wanted to catch a movie with lionel
using the LAYS coupon thingy,
but theyre so smartassed,
purposely give the coupon when got no nice movie coming out ;/

i love lionelkohshuaige! :D
wonder how he can put up with my irritable/whiny moods
-ponders

anyway, introducing the cast of powepuffgirls (222's version 2007)!
starring...
XINYI (rodney house - bubbles),
NATALINE (admiralty - blossom),
VANESSA (seletar - buttercup)!
supporting cast:
JIALIANG as PROFESSOR UTONIUM (and an orange highlighter as a smokingpipe)
KRISTELLE as MISS KEANE
RITESH as MAYOR
BERYL as MISS BELLUM (the secretary whose face is never shown)
and CLAUDIA as THE TELEPHONE!
villians:
THE AMOEBA BOYS - adrian, jiahao & xiangjie,
and the archnemesis MOJO JOJO - izzy! (mr.lim sk pointed it out even before we told him!)

after all that senseless casting,
we realized we're quite similar to our characters
like how beryl sounds like (miss) bellum,
like how the telephone can go cordless :D

shall post up the pictures when i get it - damn hilarious.

had a skill A practise during chem prac segment.
mr.lim is so "can faint" kind of lame
he said "dont become teacher.. very boring" while he was walking around looking at us do our skill A.
then he stopped at jialiang: "why you use this pen?"
"huh.. cheap wht.. 90cents only, and the ink very good!"
mr.lim: "but see the ink so dark, the other side can see, not nice... okay la actually nothing, im just very bored"
LOL.

jialiang asked him about his purple photocopyingcard
usual ones are blue or green,
so mr.lim was like "my one special one.. unlimited usage. you dont know meh, i own the bookshop one, teaching is my part-time job"
claudia asked if he chould help photocopy bandscores,
he said "can! i contract out la! see, give kristelle, her writing so neat, exam dont have that much time one hor!"
-_______________-


ANYWAY.
- lazing around the couch watching fairly odd parents/spongebob/powerpuffgirls/fruitsbasket
- getting my tatt right the day after it ends :D
- riding license!
- chopping my hair off
- going out with lionel/ttttgirls/amy&nicole/222/EVERYBODY!
MY MOTIVATION FOR A LEVELS IS ITS VERY END!
and the motivation to work hard is the end of Alevels with the peace of mind that i did well enough.

whenever i think of the after-As,
i feel like studying.
yesyes.

cant wait for bandexchange!
its been so long since i seen jaz/billy!
hope ling will be there too!

and lastly,
CONGRATS KAEL DARL!
first time in a dance syf,
and you did good!
goldwithhonours!
awwwwwwwww <3>

ah.
going to sleep 12hours or more now i hope.
studying tomorrow.
lionel's the sweetest :)
we've run out of places to study,
so we've been camping at the void decks for quite some time now.
from yishun all the way here!
-melts

this is my life,
i make my decisions,
i make my choices,
my choices can be influenced by others to a small or large extent,
but ultimately i control my life.
how my life turns out depends on ME! :D

self-motivation pep talk?

its fucking more like my death anthem.
ultimately how im feeling what im doing is my fault.
and i say fault, not decision.
that means all you people out there dont have to worry about being part of a reason for my downhill antics :)
so okay, im a quitter. whatever.

reading jialiang's blog made me feel like he stole the words from my mouth.

- another one bites the dust

SAY HELLO TO MY NEW 17 " LCD SCREEN! ;DDDDD

my mummy asked: "dont i get a hug?"
aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I FOUND THE WHOLE SYNOPSIS OF FRUITS BASKET!
EH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!
;DDDDDDDDD

I DONT HAVE TO GRAB THE NEXT VOLUMES OFF THE SHELVES ANYMORE!
(although i still will ._.)
WAKAKAKAKKAA.
ONLY TWO BOOKS LEFT!

fruits basket is tha loveeee~~~~~

for instance, even if today is painful
and yesterday's wounds remain
i want to believe that i can free my heart and go on

i cannot be reborn
but i can change as i go on, so
let's stay together always

for instance, even if today is painful
someday it will become a warm memory
if you leave everything up to your heart

i understand the meaning our living here
it is to know the joy of having been born
let's stay together always

what a week.
it was a week like any other.




no, really.


started and ended my fruitsbasket fever ;D
you know, there are two ways a chapter can end
one as a cliffhanger, the other as a conclusion
when i read cliffhangers i just cant wait for the next part
thank goodness the latest volume is a concluding one.

i must drill this into myself: after As, i'll have all the time in the world to do what i want!

just today while 969-ing to tamp,
saw some foreign workers who were probably out enjoying their break,
playing cricket.
thats like so heartwarming la.

got the verification slip.
it ends on 16thNov! vikki's bdae!
oh whatabeautifuldaaaaaaaayyyyy.

but can somebody please explain to me why,
for our block tests we can cover all our subjects in six days max. with one paper a day
while our dearest As is spread over 2 weeks
and i have chem/geog and chem/econs on two days.
;/

anyway one morning i was in urgent need of the *ahem toilet,
it was around 7.15.
so i went to the jblock one,
there was no toilet paper,
so i went to the 2nd level one, still no paper.
went to the one opposite, both 2nd and 1st level,
went to the one opposite the gym,
the one behind the squash court,
COME ON MAN, GIVE ME SOME LOVE, WHY NO TOILET PAPER?!
was feelg increasingly peeved till i didn have to go after all ;x

formation of the chicky club!
and the power rangers
it tickles to see xiangjie so enthusiastic about becoming the pink ranger.

THE WORST IS OVER!
at least for now.
should have seen all our faces when we entered the lect. hall
and there standing there like some god worthy to be worshipped of,
was mr. syn.
WOOHOO!
;x
for the first time in weeks, we all trooped happily to the Last Row.
nat couldnt wipe the grin off her face

oh yes,
band exchange at meridian on the 5th!
i can see jaz billy again!
its been ages since we were in the same band! :DDDDDD

went for zzzp today,
spent close to three hours with a fan blasting on our skins,
so much so tht whn we left for home,
we all felt like we were in a huge oven.
warm, the air was ;/

humidity and cliche things i just dont dig ;/ ;/ ;/

they say negativity spreads quickly.
considering that,
i suppose i'll stay quiet then.

what else what else?
dum dum deedeedeedee dumdum didididi

:D

GOOD MORNING WORLD!

went for dental appt today
realized how much value skills have
like, although dr.ong just poked around in my mouth abit (think straight pple, think straight),
it still cost $25+.
for less than 30 seconds! :O!

pepperlunched at orchard,
then decided to stay there
(at the terraced Mc Cafe)
its a nice place with goooooooooooooooood hot chocolate!
lionel loves marshmellows :)
and julin drifted by twice! ;D

went to borders but i couldnt find the comics, or even humour section :(
miss my fruits basket
i think i could buy like 5 books at one go
and to think i used to await each chapter's arrival so eagerly :(

anyway,
got back PW results,
i got a C but that doesnt matter
it likes chinese, because its already over, so forget about that
ms.tan apologized?
she said i should have gotten a B.
o.O?

its stigma i suppose
like C is 60%+ but yet it still looks unpleasant,
but somehow its a kind of weird motivation (in kael's words) for me
not that "sayang you-can-do-it" motivation
but that aggressive kind
while doing chem spa, stoning at the weighing machine
(because jiahao cut in ;/)
thinking of how theyre permanent grades on my Alevels cert
chinese B and PW C.
its like receiving back the Alevel cert in parts,
and im thankful so that now i know i dont want my cert to have anything below C.
(otherwise i'd drown, like you know, below C-level. *cue "lame!" aura)
so yes,
had this really grim look on my face during chem spa
mr.lim was sitting opposite me and he moved away quickly ;x

thought about what mr.lim must be feeling during chem spa.
its rote learning,
we regurgitate out in ten minutes what we've memorized
and spend the next 40 minutes+ snoozing.
(while others were playing watergun ;x)
its like mr.lim is invigilating a class of sleeping students?
its like kindergarten naptime!

chemistry test in the morning was... zzzz.
handed up a blank script.
i'd rather hand up a blank script than one with stupid answers please.
i think i only got one thing 100% correct,
and that's the blank after Name:_______

had the oral presentation course on thursday
if not for the fact that it takes up 1hr of GP,
i'd hate it to the fuuureeeeking core.
maybe i just dont like pple telling me things i already know
(difficult, yes, i know, so dont tell me ;x)
i dislike pple who are so one-dimensional.
is that the term?
ah i dont know,
its just like they presume we dont know anything.
like she thinks for the past 17/18 years of our lives we never gave a shit about presenting ourselves,
like how dragon boat instructors think that pple who do dragonboatg are first-timers who dont even know how to swim,
like obs instructors who think we really cant survive five days without a friggin handphone?!

or maybe its just their job ;/

managed to dissolve in the lecture groups for all three econs lectures,
but she hardly asked the Last Row anything!
like hey, even though 222's not in the Last Row,
its still okay to ask the Last Row-ers questions!
and vann... no matter how much we try to save her...
LOL ;x

stupid sleeping & stoning programme,
weekly meetings on saturdays helmed by the current President with the most umbrellas ;x

daddy just left for the airport again.
he come back around 2 days ago.
brought three bottles of orangejuice!
next week he's coming back again!
for two weeeeeeeeks :)

**************************

friendship can be difficult to keep afloat.
sometimes time apart is better,
sometimes conflicts arise out of love, not hate,
even though its not obvious.
i just want to spill all this bad acid on the floor, then clear it all,
(hey it rhymes! ;D)
then once its gone, it'll stay gone.
i refuse to speak about it at all
not one line,
not one thought,
not one opinion,
not one word except thanks,
because in the heat of the moment,
whats done is done, and the hurt it inflicts cannot go away.
and im worried im still in the heat of the moment.
and selfishly i dont feel any need to apologize or motivate.
i do not want to say something which in a split second can affect others' lives forever,
when with one line i may strangle a person's life passion or someting like that.
my mum said, and ive thought about it before,
that we humans exist in so many forms to give Life, life.
if everyone were to be so laidback and easygoing,
nobody would know it,
because we only appreciate the finer things in life when we know there are worse.
just today i think that the most painful suicide is to live.
i still love 222 <3>

and of course,
i still love lionel (:

and with my target for As being triple Bs and A for maths,
you'd think i'd spend my time more wisely than blogging,
or in fact,
blogging twice over since the last one got deleted ;/

GOODNIGHT WORLD!

---

the highlight of the day was my ride home with mum.

the thing about my mum is that she's no the kind to sayang you,
i like to think of her life as a rag-to-riches kind of story,
only she didnt really start out from pure "rags" and she's not exactly pure "rich"
but she always told us about her life growing up poor,
and how (as cliche as it may seem) she never want to be poor again.

my mum is very independent and she's one person whom i think engages in real life-long learning.

just like the ride home this evening.
for the first time i experienced this cant-be-taught-in-class kind of thing.

and even though it impacted me alot,
i cant quite remember wht she said ;x

my mum is remarkable :)

---

1) with higher expectations come greater disappointments
2) does everyone have a "right" to be tired?

---

well yes, i certainly do miss the ______ point.


perezhilton&neopets.

into five minutes of being online,
kaelyn popped up.

her msn nick;
Kaelyn. KRISSIE IS SEXY AND KRISSIE IS MINE.
WOOHOO!
hahahahahah ;x

went to meet the robinsons with xinyi and vann today.
i am so going to buy the dvd or whatever and watch it until my tv breaks down.

thinking about how fragile life is after the four water incidents on thursday.
four.
and they said they dont even do an average of one water incident per month,
much less four a day.

the last one was tragic.
15 eastviewseckids went pasir ris to celebrate a girl's bdae,
and seven went for the last dip of the day
2 got washed away by the currents.
till now, looking for the bodies.

my mummy said: school day how come they were at the park since 10am?

they skipped sports day.
so yes.
do not play truancy.
;x

anyway was thinking what the guys washed away were thinking.
if it was me,
knowing its the end,
i'll just let the sea take me.
concentrate on thinking about my life.

and im thinking like,
in reader's digest,
things happen at any age.
this woman lost her limbs after 28 years of normal living.

we're still young,
anything could happen
we're already lucky to be born normal, that is, physically too.

and this morning on the bus to school
i saw a lady reading the orbituary, for goodness sake.
i dont think its because she's a relative or what,
she was reading each one.
jeez ;/

went to study after chem
im sucha procrastinator ;/
if i studied instead of coming online,
life would be different.

online on weekends then.

its a typical date
dinner&movie :)

meet the robinsons was grrreeeaaaattttt
i dont mind watching it again and again and again!
everything falls into place ohsonicely :)
only at the last part got this weird chinese part.
but overall: keep moving forward! ;D

when watching the trailers before the actual movie starts,
i always see other movies that i want to watch.
(that's their point right?)
so yes - ratatouille!



the rat is soooo adorable!
and pirates of the caribbean 3 - at world's end
singapore pirate!
zomg, damn cool la suddenly ;x
given that i didn watch the first two movies ;D

dinner at swensen's :)
the guy who was at the "please wait to be seated" sign,
we were the next to go in already,
then he gestured to us and wanted to say something but i think he forgot?
and then he said "welcome to swensen's!"
oh, okay ;D

chem tomorrow.
study.
let's study.
we must study.
studystudystudy.
i want to experience jamais vu and make study a foreign word

if only we had someplace empty and air-conned and just convenient to study.
why dont libraries provide those little classrooms?
;/

ohyes,
happy birthdays to susanna and xiangjie ;D

ahwell.
ilovelionel(:

---

they say its a rat race
so only the rat can win right?
keep thinking of this line,
dontknow for what.

"lets say you live until 75. these few months are nothing compared to the rest of your life. just torture yourself these remaining months. the word holiday should not exist in your vocabulary. long weekends are meant for studying."

and i wish i had the drive to say that.

i always say i want i want i want
but i never do

she put him out, like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
she broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
we watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time
but he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
until the night..

he put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
and finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
than the strength he had to get up off his knees

we found him with his face down in the pillow
with a note that said "I'll love her till I die"
and when we buried him beneath the willow
the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

the rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
for years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
she finally drank her pain away a little at a time
but she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
until the night..

she put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
and finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
than the strength she had to get up off her knees

we found her with her face down in the pillow
clinging to his picture for dear life
we laid her next to him beneath the willow
while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la

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

last but not least,
FUCK YOU, ASSCLOWN.
kristelle hates ______ to the fucking core.
kristelle hates the way ______ laughs
kristelle hates the way ______ twitches like ______ has spasms
kristelle hates the way ______ talks
kristelle hates the way ______ doesnt do a shit
kristelle hates the way ______ is a freeloader.

and kristelle doesnt hate easily.

if ______ have been sacrificing so many things for this,
then why did ______ bother to join in the first place?
can ______ honestly say ______ has been doing as much as the rest?

"i always do everything, like 80% of the work you know!"
once bitten, twice shy?
if thats the case,
dont even bother getting involved, would you please.

and the thing which i dont get nowadays is,
when you mention a characteristic of a person you dont like, and then you add that he/she is of a particular r___,
auto become termed r_____.
so whn we dont like a person for who he is,
pple think we dont like a person for his colour.

get a life.
but then again
its better not to have that r___ word,
wait kena sued.

on a lighter note,
i passed geog :)
my grades now read either a 30+% or a 60+%,
failed GP,
ptd's comments were like: inconsistent in written work
lol.

i suddenly dont want to take the bastard A levels.

i love 222.
amounts to the same fastmoving distractedness as pig&billy's conversations do ;D

---

kristelle is not feeling well today.
i dont mean physically.

anyway,
riding lessons are a lot more tedious than i thought.
good thing they raised the limit of driving to 21 years.
cos age for riding is 18.
yay yay yay yay yay.

---

lionel still wasnt well today,
didnt see him for the whole weekend :((

been moping around
if the year was to continue like this,
i'd fail Alevels with triple Us.

ive totally checked out and exhausted all the new stuff on neopets,
SAVE ME!

managed to do some tidying up of my room too.
though now there's a whole pile of mess to throw away.

school.

third day was sightseeing.
we followed a tour group,
the tourguide was called xiaoluo.
she's quite a professional tourguide.
only problem is she shoot chinese like machine gun,
my sister and i got lost within a minute and fell straight asleep on the bus.

FIRST STOP: GREAT WALL OF CHINA!

from this angle it loks like theyre all bowing to me!
HAHAH!

look at the wall behind.













this looks clearer.
i dont suppose claudia or any other pple scared of heights will go climbing anytime soon




































bringing a touch of singapore to china.



















we climbed to the 880m peak! ;D
we went alot of places that day too,
but i cant tell you where cos its top secret
(and also because im illiterate to understand wht the tourguide was warbling on about)
i remember we went to a chinese traditional medicine hospital thingy,
and a place with alot of jade inside.
and the tombs of some emperors?
















i think my sister was aiming for this effect.
ah well, some things cant be forced.















the stone turtle!
its carrying a huge pillar on its back.

or something.




alot of fake, dusty flowers around.













my hands were numb :(














reminds me of the sentosa musical fountain.



























pretending to study the words on the plague.
although we are really just admiring the marble i think.





























so we all trooped back on the tourbus
and before we knew it,
the tourguide had us all stranded.

we settled for one on land.


























our last night in the hotel i think.
sicne the first day i always had the urge to take a picture at thie signboard.
because it looks like an arrow.










christmas spread!













santarinas ;D
matches our clothings too!












then we went downstairs to countdown to christmas.




























the church.













sopping in the middle of the crowd to take a picture.
-__-














suddenly the church switched off its lights!
christmas is nearing!

















and then, would you believe,
there was no countdown or anything even ten seconds before midnight
so we just went back to the hotel and slept ;D
