went for the NUS competition on Thurs. Lost TERRIBLY, we had 2 points and hwa chong high and hwa chong jc had what? 10-12 ponts!! Turns out we mugged the wrong thing. We (me Charlotte, Juhi and Geri) had to stay back til 9-nish cos Charlotte went MIA at first; so we switched places and did the second shift. Even tho we ALL mugged the wrong thing and didn't score so high,(our highest score is 6 points)we actually want to do it again next year (if we can). All of us and some more from class. We also want to do VJ's competition and we're all excited about more mugging! 3E rocks! And we, (me Charlotte,Geri and Juhi) now love the Tibetion Yak!!! It gave us our 2 ponts!!! And the competition was fun. We travelled to Jurong Regional Library to mug and came up with 2 crazy plans to win. Get (me) om a sugar high so I end up "cackling/giggling" (in Juhi's words, I say I'm just trying not to laugh out loud) and scare our opponents and also use the sugar high to get all the buzzer questions. Too bad it wore off just before we started the competition. (not enought nerds to eat)

Made chocolate fudge for luchbox day. Thank God it turned out ok and everyone liked it. I'm just sorry that: a. I didn't save one for Mrs Choo cause she bought us muchy donuts and strawberry cheesecake even though we didn't win the competition. and B. I didn't bring copies of the recipe to school cause some people were asking for it. But I posted it here some time in January/Febuary.

On another random note, my Malay is getting better. I can understand and create simple sentences. AND, Cikgu is also my relief Bio teacher. Too bad I have to miss Malay AGAIN, for the Compre exam. I'm cramming in Katakana and learning more Japanese vocab (its easier now I know hiragana).

While we were mugging for the competition (which we all did very seriously, I mean we (Juhi, me and Geri) memorised as much as possible if not all the capitals, presidents and prime ministers except Russia and Turkey coz we forgot that was Asia. And I learned all about the literature and let me tell you, ONE Chinese book can have as many as FIVE tittles. And Charlotte took to memorising statistics.... but I digress)

I remembered about the case of Linda Joy(while doing Malaysian Social Science). What I'm about to say may offend some people so this is a disclaimer: This is my personal opinions so don't arrest me or sue me. I think Linda Joy should have been allowed to apostatize. This is because of a few simple violations:
1. People should be allowed to choose their own religion, if they want to convert, let them or they'll still be unbelievers anyway.
2. It would show everyone that Malaysia allows religious freedom. All those cases lately (e.g banning the Bible in malay, argueing over the corpse, conversion of children who don't understand the implications without both parents consent, (I noticed this happens only with couples on bad terms/divorced/getting divorced. So its probably revenge)) is kinda bad for Malaysia. Now, I love Malaysia and the Language and I stay there every holiday so again, these opinions are personal and not meant to offend.

Talking about Malaysia reminds me that my Bro/Adik lelaki already misses Tanjong Puteri. It's really sweet and it gets him to behave. My logic on why he likes it better than Singapore and is willing to give up his beloved to "stay here forever" is because the house is a bungalow, not a small, tiny HDB. I know a maisonette is considered big I feel its small and the there's more kampung spirit in a bungalow estate. I mean we had and still have an open invitation to our neighbours house/pool any time we want. If Mely is reading this, "thanks and I really want to visit soon!" . Here, everyone is friendly but its still not like "old times". I just know didi tan would love 107E. -sigh- -feeling homesick, again-

By the way, the Bloody Mary Episode is haunting me at midnight. It gets annoying cause I rush out of the bathroom half asleep and end up waking up and not being able to sleep again (This goes back to my Insomia Incident in P6/Sec1 when I was ordered (by the doc) to take a nap every afternonn.... which means I didn't do much) Maybe if I study hard enough/read more books (like the Miyuke Miyabe I borrowed, couldn't get Louise Penny this time) I can forget it. Hmm, now thats an idea...

I think I've been random enough for a long time. My blogging muse may not wake up/get inspired like this for a long time. Anyway, Sayonara, Adios Amigos, Selamat Jalan, Bye!

ARGH!!!!! My head is bursting with all I'm trying to memorise for the NUS FASS Quiz on Thurs. I keep blurting our random information. At least its fun to know some stuff.... i think.

I'm over the moon, ecstatic, jumping for joy, grinning like that cat from Alice in wonderland cuz I don't need to go for OBS!!!!! YES!!!!!! It will bug me no longer or give me headaches!

I can't believe mozilla deleted all my searches. It was meant for future references. Before that, it deleted all my URL's. This better be a one time thing or I'll have to switch to the slower internet explorer.

I'm being random again! (happens alot lately) and I'm bored with blogging (Already! nah, just for now) so I'm gonna stop right now.

There's a glowing tiny squid called hotaru iku /ika (sp? LOST IT!!) in Japan -random smile-

Happy Easter! It might not be Easter itself but I just want to wish this to everyone in advanced. I went to church yesterday and opened up my heart. I really hafta share these quotes/poem with you.

"But Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt."
from -Silence- by Shusaku Endo

"Plenty of good men and women have lived and loved and died. Only one has come back after death with a promise to conquer death forever, and to make all things new.

I, the fool

As you stand, struggling,

Upon the edge of time,

Trapped between fading life,

And overpowering death,

Think awhile about this.

---

In this life,

Someone has hated you,

Someone has loved you.

Someone has pitied you,

Someone has envied you.

Someone has hit you,

Someone has kissed you.

Someone has scowled at you,

Someone has smiled at you.

Someone has laughed at you,

And someone has laughed with you.

---

All may have rejected you,

Spat on you,

And called you a fool,

And you may call me a fool for dreaming,

But I believe,

That though mankind has rejected you,

And you have lost all hope,

When you slip into the dark tunnel,

Death’s void,

The dark whirlpool,

And when you think this is the end,

You will reappear on the other side,

And there’ll be someone at the end,

Waiting to greet you.

---

Yeah, you may say I’m a dreamer,

And I’m living in a fantasy world.

Bound by black words

Printed in a book,

My Holy Scripture,

And I spend my time waiting for death.

You say I’m blind to the truth,

And I’m mindless,

Can’t see what’s in front of me.

---

But how can I live in fantasy world,

When I live in reality?

How can I be bound,

When I’ve never been in chains?

How can I await death,

When I want to live forever?

I don’t know what truth is,

And I can see everything with my eyes,

And more.

---

I want to sit by a lake

And watch the sun set behind mountains.

I want to give my heart to another,

And give my soul to God.

Yeah, call me a fool.

I know that I love to dream,

But this is my reality.

If this is insanity,

Then insanity is all I have.

I’ll dance barefoot

On the surface of a lake,

Just to show He exists.

But I don’t need to prove anything to you,

Because I know,

He exists.

But you don’t have to believe that.

Think what you like,

Live how you like,

Just make sure you live life to the full.

It doesn’t matter who you are,

Where you are,

Why you are here,

Because,

The earth is the earth is the earth.

And I am me,

You are you,

And death does not present fear for me.

So bewho you want to be.

---

Yes.

I am a fool.

Blind,

Deaf,

Dumb.

Yes.

I am a fool.

A dreamer.

A foolish girl.

Yes.

I am a fool.

But a happy one.

By Bleeding Heartgreenade

We worship and risen Christ. We worship a crucified Christ. Anything less is not enough."
from - I was just wondering- by Philip Yancey.

I'll end with one last Quote, also from Philip Yancey " Listen Christians. Can you hear the sound of laughter from the other side of death? Breathe deeply of a fragrance like no other. let it fill your lungs, this Easter."

Fell sick again. =.= This time it's non-stop vomiting. Stupid immune system.This year I must have missed ten? days of school. -sigh- and I'm gonna miss my report card too!!!! I need to know my marks!!!!

We (me, Jan, Joey and Angie) were talking yesterday and somehow ended up talking 'bout our sweet sixteens. Angie wants to celebrate hers on the Singapore Eye!! I think she was changing ideas to a road trip to Genting!! Jan and Joey were scolding me 'bout encouraging her. LOL. I just want to know if I throw a party, will anyone come? My bday is so near exams. In P6, no one (save for like 10 ppl) came, so sad.

I feel random again. Spent the morning learning Jap (the two lettered hiragana combi) and watching Bleach. Crunchyroll had to remove so many Bleach ep. and youtube is sooo hard to watch.

Don wanna go OBS. REALLY DON WANNA GO!!! I think I'll get serious migraines again, like in Sec 2! Everyone says "mind over matter" but I tried that and see how sec 2 camp turned out. And this year the sec 2's get to stay in a nice hotel. lucky buggers.

Wow! I've been posting alot lately. Guess cause it's because I have more time.

Guess what! I actually cut my hair all the way to shoulder length! I was at the hairdresser's on Sunday and I decided to just cut my hair from the middle of my back to just below the shoulders. I'm enjoying my new hair length and it's great that people actually noticed that it's been cut and they think it's better than my new hair! I think I'll let it grow out till I get another urge to cut my hair

I was really excited about the holidays till I saw the amount of homework we have. The teachers are sadists, almost all of them are; in fact I think the whole school/society/world/meritocratic mindset is cruel. Please! Holidays are for me/us to have fun! Just because you're bored doesn't mean you should inflict punishment on us!!

Then, to make things worse, we have our progress reports (AKA CA1's). So far, I've been doing ok, mostly A's except for 2 subjects but honestly, why should we get our report for term 1 only in term 2. It's ridiculous! How am I suppose to use the one week to persuade my dad to buy a reward for me if there's nothing to show him how well I did. Oh well, no use complaining. But I got sooo annoyed today. Ms Tan didn't enter our English marks correctly. I think nearly the whole class got lower than they should. I got pulled down from a B3 to a B4!!!( because I 'lost' 3 marks) But since she says she'll add it (the marks) to us in term 3 progress report I guess it fair compensation. I've been mugging during recess lately, trying to get a head start on the holiday homework.

To top it all off (bad things do come in threes). We have our cross country tomorrow. Some people like Janelle and Euphemia are so sporty they're looking forward to it. But I really really really HATE running, it makes me feel all dizzy and nauseas. With all the bad things this week, no wonder I feel sick. But normally it's just migraines, now I feel dizzy and nauseas for no good reason. what joy (can you sense the sarcasm?)

With the hol's drawing near, (today's the last school, school day for us ) I really miss Tanjong Puteri. I miss sleeping till 11 in a dark room (it's so bright and noisy in a HDB, yesterday some siow person went to put some alarm thing at 2 in the morning). I miss staying in a bungalow and swimming everyday. I miss the food, especially the seafood.Even is this stay is really short (we're going only for 4D3N) My bro and I are really excited. My bro is so kawaii, he told me he want's to live in Tanjong Puteri; when I asked him about school (cuz he loves his school), he went "I can go to my new school" with this really cute angmoh/chinese tone (due to the television). If we ever have a out-of-Singapore class party, (and why not? We're 15 this year) we really should have it there.

Now i'm gonna be very guai and start the homework so i don't have to do it in Tanjong Puteri. And prepare myself mentally for cross-country. If you hear of someone fainting /stopping/ vomiting half way there's a good chance its me. Maybe I should just bring medicine. Ok, rambling again. I really gotta do some work, I have no wish to do any work during the hol's so I do everything before the hol's. Bye

Hello!! I can't wait for my sabbats. I've chosen my four options:
1. Japan
2.Taiwan
3.Chennai
4. Uk
+ I've finally started going to malay class. Cikgu Esther is really nice. On another random note, anyone owns "Japanese in mangaland" I'm looking for it.

I hope they let me go to Japan.

Lately, I've been reading 2 new manga: Crimson Hero and Wild ones.

Crimson Hero is basically a volleyball manga(i.e sports manga) The storyline is basic: Nobara Sumiyoshi (the heroine) wants to play volleyball. But her mom wants her to take over their stuffy traditional restaurant called Seiryuu. Since she disagreed with her mom, she ran out of the house and ended up being a dorm mother to 4 bishies on the volleyball team. Apart from all the things about trying to rebuild the volleyball team, there's this really interesting love triangle. Habuki (one of the boys) had a crush on her since young. But, she ended up liking Yuushin (another boy from volleyball) who is more interested in volleyball than her. The story is hilarious and the characters are realistic. You can read it here.

Wild ones is a Yakuza manga. If you didn't know, Yakuza are the Japanese form of mafia. one day, newly orphaned Sachie finds out that she is the grandaughter of a yakuza chief. She has to go and stay with him and meets Rakuto Igarashi, this cute boy who is in the yakuza. They (he) lied and claimed that Sachie was a princess because she was Igarashi's princess. It's a series of comical events and now that they added a new character (Azuma) who likes Sachie, things are getting even funnier. Read it here

If you don't like manga, try reading Miyuke Miyabe's books. They're really nice (mostly murder mysteries). I just finished "all she was worth" about how in mordern Japan, consumer goods are "literally to die for"

Okie, They (the kind people at onemanga.com) just added a new chappie of crimson hero and I'm dying to read it. Bye!

OMGosh!!! I'll write a longer post tomorrow but I just want people to know 2 things. I was looking through the previous posts when I saw the one about A Maths and Physics. Well...... I scored 18/25 for Physics, allowing me to get and A2 for PR1 BUT, I failed physics, turns out that I missed one whole page and lost 4 marks. I didn't even have time to check. Amazingly, I managed to pass physics.
