1st wk of sch is over...haha...luckily there's only 3 days of sch per wk...tt means there's more than half a wk for me to slack at home...lol:)
anyway, e teachers haf been returning a lot of papers...chem was e first to complete marking, followed by maths, then phy. now it's only bio n gp left. it was useless trying to calculate my score from e posted ans online. the teachers only put up mcq ans, which din help at all cos i dun record down my ans unless i haf extra time-that is hardly the case. so in the end, i juz end up marking for the sake of being online alr.
chem was like a slope, the marks kept gng down as the papers were returned...argh!! maths was tragic!! really tragic!!! phy was like a mountain, rollercoaster, up n downs...gp was well, everyone did well. SP had to make a scene out of distributing papers...does she get a kick out of such stuff? maybe tt's y she chose to be a teacher, cos it's one of e few professions where she get to wield some power over others...she was e last teacher to arrive at e LT, then she juz sat down while e rest of e teachers were giving out papers. when e GP rep went up to her to ask for the papers, she chided him for poor manners...mountain out of molehill! so aft tt, no one dared to go up to her. finally, when all e teachers haf finished giving out papers, she stands up to distribute her stack. the rest of the teachers had to wait for her...why is she always so hard to please? no one owes her a living! well, she left halfway when the teachers were gng thru ans, so me n ck decided to run out...heh:) we were at e lib flipping thru mags when fel called to say tt SP had returned!! so we dashed back to the LT, one aft e other!! i evn went to the water cooler to wet my hands n face for her to see!! luckily, although she was staring at us when we came in, she din make any trouble for us in the end! whew:) our network is gd...
we had a very long break in between tdy, so e 4 of us decided to lunch out. but it was such a long walk out, and mister sunshine was having an adrenaline rush. so we decided to hitch a ride out to the bus-stop instead!! haha...lucky us, we met this kind lorry man who gave us a lift out!! we sat at the back, waving to everyone we passed by...haha...it's been ages since we had such thrills...we took a cab back to sch, and the uncle at e guard hse was so surprised to see us coming to sch in a cab...he tried to stop a cab, but come on, how is he gng to stop a moving vehicle? so we juz waved at him, while he stared blankly n pointed at us!! haha:)
went bowling n swimming yst at RTC w den...real suay...there was this particular frame when i thot i almost had a strike, then the last pin on e left shifted to the right, and became pin 10, the last pin on the right!! what dumb luck!! however, yst was also the first time i played bowling with e whole alley to myself...amazing feeling!! haha...aft tt, we went swimming. we tried getting our hands desperately on a towel cos my mum wasn't there, and e towel auntie refused to gimme a towel unless i brought my mum n her card to her!! so we tried getting this 'classly' lady at e washroom to help us. she agreed, but in e end, she told us tt we could give e towel lady my mum's details instead in exchange for e towel. ah, so helpful. if tt method worked, wouldn't we haf thot of it alr?!
tmr will be shopping day!! my mum's bringing me to a sale...haha...i'm looking forward to it!! it's been so long since i last shopped!!! i wonder wad i'll buy tmr...lol:)

been cooping myself in my room with my vampire series for e past 2 days...it's juz, too addictive...the effects are super cool, and e story line is, fascinating i guess:) haha...how many angmoh vampires can rival tt? only e count maybe...lol...i've only got 3 more episodes of e show left...so sad...but i juz bought parts 1 n 2, so...haha, i still got lots of vcds to watch!! part 3 seems e least exciting of e 3...but still, it's a gd show!! muz watch!!!
i'm getting so influenced by the show now...haha, it has rekindled my fear of ghosts!! i dun dare slp in the dark now!! haha...sometimes i really wonder if vampires do exist...it'd be really fascinating if they do...fangs, blood...i wonder if i'll choose to be 1 if i ever get the chance to...i might end up regretting for life!! haha...but doesn't matter...i doubt tt day will ever come:)
went out with grace, alicia n PEAR SOH yst for dinner!! haha:) so nice to meet up with them aft so long...me n grace met up earlier cos we wanted to do the laser dedication to surprise them...but somehow, e machine kept saboing us...we re-wrote e msg 3-4 times, but the dedications din get thru!! in e end, we had to handwrite our msg down for e guy!! we were so flustered when alicia n pear called!! haha...then we had to queue up for almost an hr to get a table at fish n co! and we were supposedly 2nd in line!! halfway, me n grace disappeared to e toilet to get them some cakes, cos they knew abt e dedication stuff!! oh man..haha, we had to tell them e truth when e laser dedication was gng to play n our food had juz arrived! haha...aft that, we juz sat there, eating n talking:) hope we'll get to meet up sometime soon again:)
i'm turning nocturnal now...haha, breakfast's at 4 in e afternoon, bedtime's at 5 am...lol...i wonder how i'm gng to cope when sch reopens...haha, i thk i'll juz end up sleeping during lects, or dismissing myself earlier to go back n slp!!

tdy marks the end of the prelims, FINALLY!! ok, not really over yet, still got maths S to go, but it's not counted, lol:) anyway, i self-declared the end of the prelims yst alr, haha:) stopped all studying and revising when phy paper ended yst!! i've alr started my slacking programme!!
went down east coast for some cycling aft e paper yst...met a lot of funny ppl there..haha, there was this aqua dressed in spag, tummy in, chest out (w/ boobs!!), jogging towards me...haha, it wasn't until she was nearer tt i realised she was actually a he!! tried not to stare...lol...then there were these 2 guys, i thk they are gay...anw, went to meet up with my mum afterward, and got her to buy me my vampire show!! it's damn nice!! haha, 38 episodes long, and i've only managed to finish watching up till epi 13 so far!! oh man, so slow....but i dun wanna finish it too quickly either, otherwise i won't haf anything to look forward to aft tt...
been glued to the tv since i got my hands on the vcd till abt 1 tdy...and i practically had to drag myself out of the room and dress up to go to sch for bio mcq!! there was a jam on the way to sch!!! argh, thanks to fallen trees due to e downpour!! i only reached 5 mins b4 e stated time...luckily, the teachers got held up too...somehow...and we din start till much later...whew!! i was zonked out during the paper...lack of slp maybe...heh, i somehow predicted such a situation:) the words seemed to be jumbling itself up, cos everytime i read the sentence, it seems to haf a diff sequence...to put it simply, i juz couldn't make sense of the questions...was too tired to absorb evn 2 lines of words...drats:) amazingly, this was the 1st paper tt i act had extra time for!! the rest of the papers, i had to speed past every question, not evn giving my brain sufficient time to thk...juz wrote down instinctive ans...but this paper was an exception!! haha, i evn had time to go back and look thru some ans...maybe e teachers were lenient and set a simple paper, or the questions were too tricky tt we couldn't see thru their evil plot!! haha, anyway, that paper marked the end of the prelims!! hooray!! it's time to enjoy and RELAX!!!
i was prepared to leave the exam hall alr, when den suddenly informed me tt our chem paper 3 were marked alr and we had to go down to the staff room to collect our scripts!! since when were the chem teachers so efficient in their marking?? and i thot i could still forget the trama of the prelims till mon, b4 sch starts!! i din do too badly, considering tt i din get to complete the last ques...i juz hope the other parts of the paper won't do too badly:) a lot of the ans for the prelims are up on the web alr, but i haven't checked any of them so far. cowardice maybe, i dun dare find out how well/badly i did. i'd rather keep myself in the dark for a few more days, b4 letting any probable bad news strike me and dampen my mood:)
tmr's the final paper...argh, i'll juz go in n do wad i can...haha...
somehow i feel myself drifting away from u...there's this imaginary wall between us, i dunno how to explain. i wanted to pass u something tt day, but i din do so in the end. not cos i was scared, i couldn't find a reason to support my action. dunno wad's pissing me off.

finally it's e wkends...chem's finally over...1 down, 3 to go. the mcq ans for chem prelims is out on e web alr...oh man, i dun dare check!! it'll be so depressing if i realised i din do well!!
stubborness is a bad trait. bus drivers are such impatient ppl, they won't evn wait if u're a few secs late! went down cycling at east coast with den aft our paper...it was v relaxing...isolation, windy breeze...a v gd location for chilling out only during e wkdays. we waited abt half an hr for e free shuttle bus to ps, but e uncle din bother waiting for me, evn though i was 1 m away!! and he din evn bother to stop though he saw me running aft e bus!! so mean!! we ended up taking paid public transport instead...ah...doesn't matter...
woman, feeling better alr...heh...dun thk 2 much k!! thx for e deli bread...hee hee:) hope u could understand y i rejected e lift tdy...not tryin to make things hard for u...tc:)

first time i'm online this whole wk since prelims started...
i can feel myself balding alr from all e exam-stress...worse yet, e remaining strands are turning white!!
got e day off tmr...so far, half of e papers for all e subjs are over.
maths was terrible. my most confident subj...shan't expect too much from it...can't believe i left almost 30m blank!! guess it's a wake up call!!
chem was equally bad...din haf enuf time to complete e paper, and e last ques which i left blank was super easy!! argh...i have some serious time management probs!!
bio was as expected...rush rush rush...no time to evn think...but e bio dept had a major screwup...almost half of e papers had 1 pg missing...mrs che contemplated postponing e exam, but we alr saw e questions, so tt was out of the way. in e end, we got an extra 10 mins:)
phy...hmm...paper 1 wasn't too bad, better than CTs, but paper 2 was killer...nj's phy teachers do live up to their reputation...come up with e weirdest of questions to stumble their students...left some blanks again...guess bio is e only fully answered paper...heh:)
i hope e papers were juz tough in general...so at least i can use it as an excuse for my below par grades. i can almost predict my grades alr...sigh...juz a few papers and i'm demoralised alr...the fighting spirit's gone altogether!! and i've been studying so much these few days, i'm in a dazzle most of e time!! i can't evn recognise myself in e mirror sometimes!!
serene called a few days back...and now, i'm so tempted to go over to aus aft prelims!! can go there and take a breather from studying too!! though i doubt my mum will agree...but SIA's having promotion now...and serene will be visiting lisa in sydney!! so my accomodation will be taken care of!! i dun evn haf to worry abt my meals...hehe, they'll be there to cook for me...oh man!! plus e temp's at ard 19 deg C!! i feel like flying over there to join them!! it'll be damn fun!! but i doubt i'll be able to make it...judging from my prelims performance, i'll prob be grounded at home till end of nov...omg!!

feels like a v long time since i last blogged...heh...no choice, muz revise revise revise...i din realise how lagging i was until v recently, so i'm getting all freaked out now, n trying to finish going thru everything in e shortest time possible!
been having tuition almost everyday, n i really hope it's helpful...cos sometimes, i feel tt she's not tt gd too...we can confuse her v easily...but now's a bit late to change...so i'll juz stick with her for e time being...see how i do for prelims first b4 deciding e next move i guess...
my mum's been bringing me ard these days...for meals n jalan jalan...went with her for house viewings evn!! haha...all e potential tenants were v surprised to see an extra sub-agent at e house...haha, i also felt a bit out of place there, cos i'm blocking their way n not doing anything constructive in e hse viewing process...but nvm la, they dun complain abt me, i also dun bother them, we're all at peace with each other's presence!! haha...e houses' my mum brought me to were all v nice!! rental also not cheap, from $3000 plus all e way to $6000 over!! hefty pricetags!! and 1 thing abt all these new hse is tt they all haf a small pond outside their hse, near e balcony area?? is tt e latest fad? it seems more like a potential mosquito breeding ground to me!! waste money only...
watched it slip away tdy...it's sth i've tried to avoid my whole life...but tdy, i let it happen right b4 my eyes. and i juz sat there, not doing anything abt it. maybe it's called retribution. a taste of my own medicine...tt feeling juz sucked

was walking back tdy, climbing over e same overhead bridge which i cross almost on a daily basis when sth struck me: e bridge, e moss, e stairs, it looks e same day in n out; it doesn't change, but everything else ard it has. then i start wondering: if e roles were reversed and everything else remained stagnant while e bridge was changing, how diff would things be?

haven't really had e time to come online to type out sth over e past few days...the past few days were juz packed with tuition, lots of tuition and studying...
haven't been to sch since wed...teacher's day celebration...i went there in expectation of getting a blue slip from ducro...fate is 1 thing you can't run away from...when i wanted to be nice and wish him 'happy teacher's day', in part for giving me tt blue slip, he himself wasn't in sch tt day!! if only he made an earlier announcement, e sun would be shining into my room b4 i'd get out of bed on wed!! it was a wasted trip back to sch, simply put. anyway, den, ck and i were juz mins late of e side gate's closing time, so it was back to basics: gate climbin and crawling. ck went back to sji which den and i went to ang mo kio...haha...to collect my SUPERSTAR tix!! i couldn't believe my luck too!! this is e 1st time i've act won sth, tt's so coveted by so many ppl, including me!! haha...i was juz trying my luck tt day while flipping thru some mag, and since it only cost $0.20, i juz gave it a shot...then on tues, they msged me to say i was 1 of e 10 chosen recipients!! i'd haf flown down of tues to get e tix if i only knew e way there and tuition aft sch was cancelled!! haha, but wed's not too late too!! e place was really hard to find!! luckily my mum brought me there, otherwise, i'd juz haf gotten lost with some taxi driver whom i'll nv get to meet now, in tiny sg, trying to find e place in vain!! i act contemplated selling my tix online to some die-hard fans who's willing to part with e cash...apparently, it can cost up to $500 per pair!! whoa, tt's half a k!! but anyway, i decided tt e experience is more valuable than e money i can get in return, so...
thurs...another exciting day...got my braces removed!! finally, aft so long, juz 2 mths shy of it's 2 yr anniversary, i parted with my metal teeth!! haha!! my mouth felt real empty aft tt...like it's grown swollen over e yrs!! haha...but it was so disgusting when e doc put this mould-plasticine thing into my mouth in order to custom-make my retainers for me...and he had to repeat it twice!! as if once isn't enuf...then it was a visit to e hairdresser!! haha...it's been eons since i cut my hair, and it's grown so long now, i'm at a lost as to how to style it; it can't stand, neither can it stay on its own. i forgot my hairdresser's name, but fortunately, i met her on my way to e toilet!! told her to give me 5 mins and i'll pay her a visit!! haha, heng ah:) told her to put extra wax, and she voluntarily added some hair spray, so tt my hair could last till tonight...she cut my hair real short this time, not tt i haf any objections...my hair looks e same aft i wake up, and aft styling...maybe i shudn't bother adding any wax at all...haha, wad can i say? i'm getting more handsome now!! lol:)
it was time to head down to sg indoors stadium aft tt!! tt's right!! to watch my superstar concert!! how exciting!! e tix printed e starting time as 6.30, but e doors din open till 7 plus. so senseless...me n den managed to catch a glimpse of a few stars while waiting for sesame to open...celest chong, joanne peh, ix shen, and a few others...finally when e doors opened, everyone was rushing in...we waited for e crowd to disperse b4 making our way in...aft our tix were torn, there was a station for security check...i was asked to leave my water bottle outside cos of 'safety' reasons?! aft tt, we went to buy 2 packs of mineral water to bring inside, figuring it was juz another business gimmick to ban us from bringing water inside so tt we're forced to purchase their drinks at exorbitant prices...but no, their silliness din end there! you were allowed to purchase drinks, but you couldn't bring it inside e stadium!! you had to finish e drinks b4 entering e seating arena!!! so we juz chucked e drinks inside den's pouch and walked straight in!! haha...need i say more? we're a natural when it comes to this alr, lol:) e atmosphere is so diff onscreen n live...though e breaks for advertisements were unbearable! and all i could see were these small ppl, cockroach-sized, singing and moving ard stage...xin hui n jun yang's performance was amazing!! e concert would be much betta if they were e competing finalists instead...but sadly, e curse of e judges appeared again last night...whoever e judges favoured more and paid more compliments to, tt person will lose...sigh..me n den sat on divided loyalites next to each other...she supported kelvin, i, e gal. but sadly, she lost!! sigh, sigh, sigh!
going home was as diff as i imagined it would be; i thot e buses would be packed to e brim we'd haf to end up walking to suntec to take e train!! haha...but we managed to squeeze on e 1st bus tt came our way...
fri: woke up early to get my retainers from e dentist...it's this transparent plastic thing moulded in e shape of my teeth...it's impossible to tell whether i'm wearing them or not unless u look hard enuf...but it forms this barrier in my mouth, not sth v comfortable. anyway, i'm stuck w it for 6 mths, unless i wan to rewear my braces again!! i'm not risking it!! haha...was supposed to mug with sab at holland v, but she din turn up in e end...i also dunno if i shud get angry?!
anyway, tdy was juz a really short day...tmr's e wkend alr, start of 1st day of hols..no more tuition for 2 more days! whew! thank goodness! time for bed now...i can hear breakfast calling for me alr!!
