fresh air

yay! i m slacking! haha...i m getting a headache from doing sooo many prelim papers. there are like this endless stream of papers; you finish one and another one comes along. i feel like throwing all of them into the air and seeing them flying down, it will look cooool. okay, enough ab0ut the "molehill" of homework.
i came up with a riddle today during the last lesson. hehe...it is about sophia!

what do you call sophia soh without an ass?
ophi oh!

i think it is very lame lah. haha...but we need to find some entertainment during lessons right? it is called finding the little amusements in life, especially when things get dull and boring. oh yah, speaking of amusement, i was very amused by myself today. during maths, i thought i lost a certain maths prelims paper in which i did 10 out of 13 questions. i couldn't find it in my file or anywhere under my table. sooo, i assumed someone stole it... haha people dont think straight in situations like this. who in the right mind will steal some stupid maths PRELIM paper? to do as extra exercise? anyway, i complained for about half an hour while searching frantically for it.
in the end, i found it in the BACK of my file at the end of the lesson. i only searched the front of my file. haha... so embarrassing... i must have caused so much inconvenience to the people sitting around me, especially sophia. i searched her file like three times cause i was convinced she accidentally took it. haha... so dumb. and i wasted half an hour. i swear i will be less blind next time.

time seems so precious now.

explosions in the air

i went to watch the fireworks display at marina bay yesterday. there were SO many people there, it is like half of sg is there. i never knew the CBD is so crowded at night (was it because of the fireworks?), and i must admit that the skyscrapers in sg look nice at night. of course, when there are so many people, you are bound to meet some familiar people, it is more coincidental than usual. anyway, everyone was packed like sardines everywhere along the coast. i realise that being tall has many advantages like fresh oxygen and a better view than others. but unfortunately, i was still shorter than most adults there so i almost suffocated.

anyway, the fireworks were pretty, and there was even music to accompany the display. haha. we tried to take photos but we realised that it is really really challenging. for example, you feel that the scene at that current second is spectacular so you press the button on your camera. after 2 seconds, your camera takes the picture. and when you go through your pictures, all you have is fading polka dots or worse still, a blank sky. it is really crazy. and btw, there is an unmistakable round white thing at the bottom of every photo.
haha... it is the MERLION head lah. it is so irritating.
but anyway, i think it was worth it to go and watch. but if i ever want to go again, i will go there like 2 hours earlier to get the best seats. wish i got better pictures though.

how much air pollution does 15 minutes of fireworks cause?

prophesies?

dear nic, vic and cailing,
i didn't know how to comfort you all just now...i just want to say that sometimes life may not turn out as what we want it to be. but i know all of you tried your best...so don't be too disappointed. save your energy for the final dash and work hard for the rest of the subjects to "bao chou". jia you everyone!

saw the many tears and smiles today...
i cannot imagine how we will be like.
(more like i don't want to imagine.)
it is sad to imagine your friends cry.
or yourself crying
because of the final verdict
that determines whether four years have paid off.
i know i will cry anyway.
but i hope it is not because of The Reason.

Farewell...

as i stepped through the threshold, the jasmine-scented breeze greeted me...
this sounds like tet... but it isn't. nic gave me a jasmine garland ytd during Farewell and it is currently hanging beside my front door. i just love the scent, not too overpowering to make you sneeze. but unfortunately, it reminds me of tet and susila.
anyway, i want to talk abt farewell. the new leaders did a GREAT job!!! haha... the slideshow was REALLY funny, i was laughing non-stop throughout the whole time. but seriously, it was pretty obvious that you all were taking pics for farewell in the past few weeks. i like the movie posters too!!! the photoshop thing was damn cool...i bet i wouldn't be able to do it since i am such a comp idiot. i wonder who thought of this creative idea.
andi would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone, especially the new leaders for making the farewell so memorable and fun. haha... and tiara wants me to say "i love tiara cause she is the best and coolest junior ever", so here it is! (btw, the longest letter i got ytd was from tiara). i don't think anyway cried ytd, much to the disappointment of the juniors... haha... i just felt happy because it was so funny and nostalgic cos it is our last guide meeting together.
having gone through 3 farewells, i never expected it to be my turn so soon. four years is like one-quarter of the 16 years i have lived. it just passed too quickly for comfort. it is not as if the sand in the hourglass sprinkled down faster because gravity decides to increase. (?) i suppose time does flies... as one gets older, the pace of life seems to get so hectic that time seems to pass by faster.
random: i just hope that everyone in guides know how to tie their own scarves.

SONGS for birthdays

a quick one here because i realise i have a lot of homework to do plus i need to do something for farewell, you-know-what (in case some juniors are reading this).

it was sophia's birthday ytd... ( i said happy birthday to her ytd and sang her a birthday song TWICE so i won't wish her happy birthday here :P) haha... her presents were the most UNIQUE presents i have ever seen though i seriously don't think i want to get those type of gifts for my birthday. "purple, obiang and bimbo" presents. sophia actually likes them...

we had a nd rehearsal today. it was really funny because we attempted to change the lyrics of a certain chinese song so that it doesn't makes us feel demoralised and we made it very postive and encouraging. i wonder what is the purpose of writing that song? if it is propaganda, then why does it sound a little negative? maybe the song is too old......

to study or not to study

nic told me that we shouldn't reach our "climax" too soon before Os because we will have no motivation to study if we do too well for our prelims. and i think she has a point... u will lack the drive to study anymore after getting wonderful results because u think that u have the concepts and facts in your grasp. however, i heard that if you memorise something today, 60 percent of it will be forgotten the next day and so forth. this really sucks. imagine having to keep refreshing your very forgetful memory every day... something which i don't and never will do.
oh well, i think i can't stay here for too long... it has been 45 min (which isn't long)

btw, this is the new layout... not the one i mentioned in my first post(that was the default one).
