=(
dear Mr. Not-A-Loser, sometimes you should just let other people walk away from an argument.
not to concede defeat, because i still feel strongly about this, but
you can argue it all you want and not have to walk away from the battle feeling dirty and hated
that's really nice for you.

SKINS.
SEASON FIVE EPISODE ONE.
OH HOW IN LOVE I AM.
on the minus side:
i have an awful cold.
and spent the afternoon crashing on my bed eating junk food and watching TV shows with a sore throat and plenty of painkillers.
okay, so i didn't think US Skins was going to be awful
because hey don't knock it till you've tried it
and more Skins can only be a good thing, right?
UNRIGHT.
WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.
it is lousy compared to UK Skins.
aaah i have to start looking up Pushing Daisies soon to keep up my end of the bargain.
cannot wait for glee to start!
cannot wait for the taiwan trip either.
IF ONLY THIS COLD WOULD END.
i feel so very very zombified.

UNFUN.
but you know what is fun?
doing well on your calculus test, that's what's fun.
also eating melted+solidified chocolate almonds. AWESOME shapes. like when they melt and take on the shape of the inside of the container and harden again.
today my sisters and i threw orange peel around.
then we picked it all up.
so responsible, i know.
i still type '309' instead of '409'. miss you guys.
there goes the last chocolate almond. FAREWELL, DEAR FRIENDS, YOU HAVE SERVED ME WELL.
you know when something really weird crops up but you can't talk about it with the person you usually would because there's like awkwardness involved?
something really weird has cropped up.
i shall ignore it.
the other night i dreamt about malicious Chinese vampires. they were like literally skin and bones with looooonnnng scary thin hair and jumped in huge bounds and even when you killed them and their skulls were dried and unmoving in a crypt they would still be sentient and just watching you. and if you ground them up then they would turn into Evil Powder like a curse. weird dream!canon!!
some dreams aren't nightmares until you wake up.

life was never ever ever going to throw us together.
and i'm never ever ever going to see you again.
some days i think about you
and how i cared so badly for the first random person to care.
all i really hope is that you're happy.
today i watched burlesque!
it had absolutely zero plot but was fairly good.
i heart christina aguilera's voice.
and katie showed up which was awesome.
actually we met at ri-chan's house
except SOME GENIUS got on the wrong bus and ended up at the freaking JOHOR BAHRU CHECKPOINT instead of christabella's house in BUKIT TIMAH ROAD. (yes, russell, i am looking at you.)
then ri-chan gave me post-its but i left them at her house.
they were star-shaped.
and we had lunch at subwayyyyyyyyyyyyy. aah i love subway.
calculus test tomorrow. utterly utterly utterly doomed. wish me muchnesses of luck.
taking the 171 to plaza sing was fun!
Katie: Russell. Get some.
hahaha random quote was random.

LONG TIME NO POST.
yesterday I went to Juliana's place for a sleepover. Katie and Chloe were there too. we watched Hetalia and the whole business was epically hilarious. then i did not get to sleep until a disgraceful hour so i am determined to right that by getting extra sleep tonight.
and then tomorrow i am to be at ri-chan's house at 10am for watching of Dreamgirls... although i hope we figure out how to play it on the television because if not that would be kind of tragic. also i hope katie realises that i emailed her with ri-chan's address because she hasn't replied to the email yet and i am worried she hasn't seen it.
aaaaagh.

i think my definitions are wonky.
gahh so tired, should probably go to bed now i suppose but i am helping naomi with her commonwealth essay or at any rate discussing it with her.
met yoru-senpai for lunch yesterday, which was really awesome. forgot how nice it was just hanging out actually.
today i crashed at ri-chan's place for a while. in total i must have walked almost half an hour in the rain. unfun.
now having done most of my homework i will GO TO SLEEP.
yay.
also, ri-chan, i need to beg for an exception on some things my sister pressed upon me. =(

i am happy because katie and russell are watching skins courtesy of my most annoying YOUMUSTWATCHSKINS announcements. -happy happy happy-
also happy because of very very brilliant PLAN test results.
also happy because I did all my homework for mo bio today and it's a friday and although i've been responsible-ish and done English work there's really not much that i need to be doing at this moment.
which is utterly lovely.
i heart friday afternoons.

alright, so in physics i thought there was going to be an online assignment...
...but there is no online assignment.
youtube is lagging like a very laggy thing and not letting me watch Skins at a rate fast enough to make out what's going on.
almost out of cookies.
today's health class video was the most intellectually patronising thing i've watched since Disney Channel over the holidays.
=(

DID I MENTION I FOUND THE ROCK CANDY
{ 7:13 pm }
so here I am at my very first day of school for this year.
health class was interesting, somewhat; also somewhat alarming-- 50% participation grade, really? I FORESEE AN INABILITY TO DOODLE IN HEALTH CLASS IN MY FUTURE.
then in calculus we went over the exam and ahahaha the grades of people with a B or above are listed on the door from highest to lowest and guess whose name is RIGHT AT THE TOP. clearly calculus class was good for my ego.
right now i have free. yay free.
then after that there's bio which will be meh-ish although i foresee a going over of the exam, which will be good again for the ego. =)
(did i mention that i liked my grades?)
all in all, it's nice to be back.

my school starts on monday; how exceedingly terrifying.
MO training starts again today. i rather liked having my saturday afternoons off, but whatever.
i can't believe i was bored with my holidays when i had them. I WANT MY HOLIDAYS BACK ALREADY. AND SCHOOL HASN'T EVEN ACTUALLY STARTED.
stressed.
so, life is fairly average. still need to pass Yoru-senpai his book if i haven't lost it already.
speaking of losing things,
a sincere apology to
Ri-chan
Russell
Isaac
Yoru-senpai
Naomi
Awa
Katie
and Cyrus.
i seem to have misplaced the rock candy i was going to give everyone as a christmas present.
i will alert you if it turns up, but after all these days i'm starting to give up hope.
who the hell loses christmas presents after purchasing?

celebratory mid-afternoon snack, monday.
I have rediscovered a type of butter cookie that we used to get way back when in Hong Kong in these round blue tins. The tins are not exactly identical but the cookies are, and at any rate they are all round and blue. Not the cookies; the tins.
pretzel-shaped mini butter cookies with sugar all over.
THE AWESOMENESS.
school
starts
soon.

failing.
fading.
falling.
still we're on top of the world.
(don't look down.)
do you ever want to take someone by the shoulders and shake them until they acknowledge someone else's intrinsic awesomeness?
personally, i need to have my idiocy amputated.
so today
i told someone something i'm pretty sure they already knew and they didn't disown me.
ground is broken.
so today the cards told me i'm still sitting here on earth.
so today time died on me as I waited.
no i don't know who you're talking about.

Happy January 4th!
Got woken up by my sister clearing out at 6am. THIS IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING FOR THE NEXT SIX DAYS. UNHAPPY FACE.
Haha Ri-chan is coming over today again. I don't know what I will do after everyone starts going to school regularly and I still have five days (okay, so not that much really) to hang around at home being boreded half to death.
This is a mostly pointless blog post, I'm afraid.
Today I think I will paint my nails orange.

today was awesome
=)
supposed to watch Tron with Ri-chan, Isaac and Russell
ended up watching Tangled with Ri-chan, Isaac, Russell and Cyrus.
=))
We discovered the epic-est shopping mall game ever: SCAVENGER HUNT.
And looked for:
Picture of a Dog
Batman and Superman
Cat
Katy Perry
Apple
Airplane
Purple + Glittery Objects
'I Don't Know'
Charcoal
Ricola
Aliens
Gay Sex
Apricot
among other things.
In which one could find either the word or the object, so don't raise your eyebrows too high.
The whole business was highly entertaining.
Good places for playing Scavenger Hunt:
Bookstore
Spotlight
Bad places for playing Scavenger Hunt:
Food Court
Then ended up hosting Ri-chan and Isaac for dinner and watching part of Tron, but Ri-chan had to go and then the online video failed and anyway the whole film seemed pretty rubbish so I'm relieved we didn't watch it.
Tangled was quite okay really.

Happy new year, everyone!
I don't think I've quite absorbed that it's 2011 yet.
I will now proceed to talk at length about 2010.
2010 was a long year.
It was an awful year.
It was a great year.
If, right now, I met the myself of exactly one year ago, I don't think I would really recognise myself.
It was a year in which everything changed.
A year in which the more things changed, the more things stayed the same.
I've come through so much, but I don't know if I've changed at all.
I'm petrified of mediocrity, and every time I look behind myself-- one year, two years, ten years-- I find it.
I should probably stop expecting to escape it. The moment I'm far enough away from today to see myself through a different pair of eyes, I'll find mediocrity all over again.
No resolutions.
Some hopes and expectations.
A pile of regrets like dead white embers.
(I owe you an apology, Vivian.)
A hole left somewhere, because of course I just had to clear out six months after finding the first place in that school where I felt at home.
As for changing schools, well.
I miss a lot of people.
I've met a lot of people.
I remember 309 and I want to cry;
I remember NUSH and I'm glad I got out.
In maybe five years I'll look back and figure out whether I regretted any of it.
In 2010, people have been more important than ever.
I'd like to thank:
Christabella
Russell
Yoru-senpai
Naomi
Isaac
Cyrus
Awa
KX
Katie
Sean
Deepti
for being there in bits and pieces, for being awesome in some way or other.
i love you guys.
also a side dedication to Yuhan: didn't really expect that i'd end up talking to you much, but you're pretty awesome too. =)
Here's hoping for a happy 2011 and continued friendships. Picnic club, anyone?
