8 papers over and 8 more papers to go! :O The air-conditioning had been particularly strong this week. It keeps me awake though.
I just suddenly remembered I never did post about the wedding dinner we attended last Sunday, on the 21st. So family from Malaysia came down on Friday night and I met someone new, who's my cousins' cousin! The dinner was held at the Fullerton Hotel (apparently the bride's family is $$$$$) and we also watched the solemnisation, where they signed this legal document alleging that they are married ha ha. Throughout the night the bride must have changed at least 3 dresses! Oh, and amongst the guests was Guang Liang's cousin. :O I wonder if he can sing too, heh.

17 more days
Yay for not having a paper today!
By the way, KIMI RAIKKONEN is FORMULA 1 2007 CHAMPION! :D :D :D :D It was a fantastic Brazillian grand prix that I'd stayed up to watch even though there was a paper 12 hours later. I know I'm being mean, but ha ha ha to the Ham, I've never liked him even though he's a driving prodigy and all that jazz.

graduation day
In my honest opinion I thought Graduation Day didn't feel like Graduation Day at all. It was boring, the emcees were dreadful and... it was boring.

organised chaos
For the past few days, my mom had been telling me to clean my desk/tidy up my room/stop leaving things on the floor/stop leaving unnecessary knick knacks on the table/pack the shelves and the list goes on. This rant of hers is actually quite unusual but she has been stepping it up lately because we're going to have people over on Friday to Monday. According to the parents, there are going to be probably 7 people staying here. (Anyway if you are wondering, all of us are attending a wedding dinner Sunday night at the Fullerton) So, I have to tidy up my room because it's only fit for me to live in currently.
I've never fully comprehended why my parents consider my room a mess. To me it's more of organised chaos. For one, I actually know where all my things are, even though to someone else it's impossible to find them. Leaving things strewn about on the floor doesn't hinder my movements either. I don't need an abundance of space to walk about, so why not make use of the floor?
However, the parents always win so now you can see that my floor is made of wooden tiles. You can also see the surfaces of my desk and table.
Unfortunately I wasn't the one who cleaned up - apparently she didn't have the patience to wait for me to do so - so my mother tidied up everything. I guess it's sort of good, that I don't have to clean up now.
Except for one slight misfortune.
I can't find anything now. :(

knock knock
So 2 days of break is over! Only 9 days left for now to the killers. D:<
Firstly, I couldn't go out to study because my parents informed me that they'd prefer me staying at home or going to school (which is stupid), so I've been asking people to drop by at my house instead when they ask me to go out to study.
Secondly, there's no secondly! :D
On Thursday, Mei Yan came by in the morning and we did Math until I wanted to die. Yong Sheng dropped by later in the afternoon with sustenance in the form of lunch, and the two proceeded to cook while I continued struggling with Math. Yes, in my house, the guest does more than the host.
Yesterday Faus(L) came with lots of lunch and brains, so I could actually complete my Math without asking other people other than the people in the house already. :P I'd definitely accomplished more than the day before. I'm telling all boys now to please date her because she'd be a wonderful wife, ha ha ha. :D

a person like you never existed to me
The day when the sun set,
my footsteps took me,
opening my eyes,
to a place I thought I had forgotten.
Whether or not do I still have
some hatred towards you,
I just want to be free now.
I believe time would solve everything
is it a foolish belief?
Now, I just want to go with the flow.
It doesn't matter to you anymore.
From the start,
a person like you
never existed to me,
the way I didn't to you.
Remember, one day you'll hurt
as much as I did
from someone other than myself.
You'll experience the same pain.
I'm sorry, this is all I can do.
Really, it's the only way I can be.
Waiting for that day to come,
when I can start over like you?
For me, who can't love you and
can't help but hate you?
Footsteps - 영웅재중
*
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
'Cause you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay woah, stay woah
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

open houses
On Friday I left school at 11.20AM because of Raffles JC's Open House! :) It was amazing, I got to miss Physics and simultaneously visit a fantastic institution with an equally excellent campus. We could only stay there for an hour or so because the bus had to leave, so we only managed to sit through the principal's address and roam the CCA stalls. Also, there are so many cute boys in RJ!
After that we left for Temasek JC's Open House and met a million people there. It was also swelteringly hot there. This really sweet girl brought us around and at the running track we met the swim team who got us to throw water balloons. It was pretty embarrassing because I can't throw for nuts.
Took the train to Meridian JC's Open House and spent probably less than half an hour there before leaving because it was horribly boring and it sucked. Took a cab home because I was lugging a million (okay, 4) bags and they were heavy. I woke up the next day with my body aching!
On Saturday we went to Victoria JC's Open House which was pretty interesting! The weather was still super hot though and it kind of affected me because all I wanted to do was to eat ice cream and stay in an air-conditioned place. Met Debby who brought us around! Inquired about Knowledge and Inquiry before leaving for Parkway Parade!
Oh! Sunday's Chinese grand prix was simply amazing. I was kept on tenterhooks throughout the whole race and I practically screamed my head off in delight when Hamilton DNF. :) What can I say, I'd rather Alonso or Kimi win, especially Kimi! :D He certainly deserves a championship. I admit, he'd won in 2005/2006 if not for his car breaking down during crucial races. I don't really even care that the O's are on the next day, I'll watch the Brazilian grand prix the night before (what's more after the wedding dinner) because it's the last grand prix of season 2007 and I will not miss it for anything.
Anyway, I'm going to make my parents eat their words and cough up two grand because they suck, so I shall go and study. D:<

balls of fury
Balls of Fury is an excellent comedy when you lose your brains while watching it! Personally I thought it was good because it cheered me up after the horrendous Prelims results. Actors like Terry Crews (who was hilarious in White Chicks too), Christopher Walken (I was puzzling over which movie he acted in before, and I finally found out that it's Hairspray) and James Hong are super funny with their antics. Didn't regret watching it with the boys! :)
Anyway, I'm going to Raffles Junior College and Victoria Junior College on Friday and Saturday respectively so maybe I'll see some familiar faces there. It's so hard to choose between Polytechnic and Junior College now, especially because of the factor of admission into University.
I can't wait for the O's to be over because I'd have serious fun doing everything except studying! :D That's probably the best motivation now for me to study, along with the freedom and capability to choose whichever tertiary institution I want to enrol in next year.
So everybody (especially me and people like me) please work hard! Even though it's hard and maybe a tad boring (at least for me), it'd all be worth it in the end.
