Blogging? What's that again?
Oh my goodness. It's good to be back to blogging.
And a little less than a month before the O Levels, too.
So Prelims were eventful. Not. I guess I improved a little from Mid Years, but my points are nowhere near my O Level target (!).
And I suppose many, many things have changed since I last posted, so much so that I felt like deleting all the previous posts because they all felt so...obsolete somehow. But then I realised that I should probably keep them because then I'll have something to remember my secondary school life by, as I obviously cannot rely on my limited brain memory to do so. I seriously forget a lot of things. Like whenever Mith talks about something that happened maybe more than a month before, it takes me a while to recall. Sometimes I don't recall at all. Woah. Talk about premature aging.
Speaking of premature aging, the O Levels have certainly taken a toll on many of us. The lack of mass run is said to have made the Sec 4s 'fatter', but I only see gaunt, eyebagged and lifeless souls wandering from lecture to lecture. 'Fatter' has the implication of something prosperous, something well-fed and well-nourished, but I don't really see much of that.
The above may not apply to me, I guess, seeing as how I have expanded. And not mentally, either.
So--one more week till farewell assembly. One more tiring, arduous, sleepless, rushed and hectic week.
In other news, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BLASTED O LEVELS TO END.
I think that's all.
Goodbye.

The Beatles, Jackasses and Bread
Interesting Things I Found Out One Day While Surfing the Ever-informative Net:
1. Lennon and McCartney wrote The Rolling Stones' first hit, 'I Wanna Be Your Man', after the Stones whined they needed a hit single. Lennon said afterwards: "We weren't going to give them anything great, right?"
2. For a while 'Abbey Road''s working title was 'Everest' (after engineer Geoff Emerick's fave brand of fags), but when it was suggested the disgruntled band go to the Himalayas to shoot the cover they decided they couldn't be arsed and named it after the street the studio was on.
3. John Lennon wrote 'Strawberry Fields Forever' while on the set of 'How I Won The War', in which he had a cameo role.
4. On Coldplay: "Chris Martin looks like a geography teacher. What's all that with writing messages about Free Trade? If he wants to write things down I'll give him a pen and a pad of paper. Bunch of students." (NME, 2006) – Liam Gallagher
5. The definition of paneity: the state of being bread
6. There's such a word as unconspicuous. Always thought inconspicuous was the only right one.

Divided Loyalties
The Northern Ireland issue would be very interesting to me if we did not have to study it for Social Studies. I mean, c'mon, when you are required to memorize the causes of conflict for infuriating Yes/No essay questions, you would lose interest in any subject.
Bloody Sunday was such a sad, sad happening of history. Whenever I hear that U2 song, I feel deeply moved.

Lani Garver
I’ve been meaning to write about this cool book called What Happened to Lani Garver. I read it quite a while ago. It all started when Zoey all but raced into our classroom begging the nearest person to read it. And since I had nothing to read at the moment, I borrowed it from her. And that’s how Lani Garver became stuck fast in my mind for quite a while.
Lani (pronounced Lonny) is this supposed guy who looks too much like a girl to be straight. The protagonist is Claire, a member of the elite in their school. So they become friends. And only friends. How sad. But yeah, he does look like a girl. Anyway, he is prepositioned by this closet-gay but outwardly macho guy. So a lot of conflict later, there is a conclusion (oh no, I sound like an English teacher).
The ending is very sad, though. Some guys unintentionally drown him. He dies. I was devastated, but not so much, because at the beginning of the book, there’s this prologue type thing that tells you that Lani dies in the end. So I was expecting it. Dreading it, more like. He’s such a good character.
The thing is, (and this struck me as very funny) Lani fits the description of a floating angel in the book, according to another character. A floating angel is supposed to have no gender (like Lani). So there you have, Floating Angel Garver (F. A. G.). Saddest joke in history. But whatever. Here’s how readers find out about Lani’s non-existent sexuality. This is very paraphrased.
Claire: Lani’s going to try to wriggle out of every form of categorization, so good luck with that.
Some Unimportant Guy Whose Name I Can’t Remember: Do you like boys?
Lani: Yes, I love boys.
Unimportant Guy: Do you like girls?
Lani: I love girls.
Unimportant Guy: Are you bi?
Lani: Bi-sexual is a pretty sizable box.
So what is he, exactly? Nothing? Something? A floating angel? That’s the beauty of the ending, because you can imagine however you want the ending to be like. Like Zoey can argue that Lani actually didn’t drown, that he was, in actual fact, an excellent swimmer and escaped the island.
And just like that I have discovered another one of my favourite fictional characters of all time.

Multicultural Madness
Andro says that "something is wrong with me" because I kept posting one-liners for the past few days. Well, I'm sorry, Andro, but I wasn't in the mood to write those big chunky paragraphs of mine. Rocky is, for your information, my pet rock. Mith owns it, too. You see, it is a rather long story. The upshot of it all is that he got kidnapped. I still cry myself to sleep.
Concerning the attack of the manga lovers, there's Andro, Mith, and recently, James. It seems to me that everybody I talk to nowadays is obsessed with something Japanese and/or Korean. I can't relate to that at all. Even Tavita watches Naruto!
And as for the "That's it. I'm done for," it is regarding my results. No, more like my parents' reaction when they see my report book.
Not everything is going downhill though. I learnt some Irish things today. Which was cool.

eff this, eff that
I was reading the Straits Times the other day when I saw this in the Sports section:
On Rafael Nadal and his rivals:
Maybe [the madness] starts leaking before the match itself, with the inhumane reading of his clay resume: "In 2005, he wins Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, Roland Garros. In 2006, he wins Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, Roland Garros. In 2007, he wins Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, Roland Garros. In 2008..." till a rival might understandingly plead "Stop, stop".
How effing amazing is that? Well, it is, to someone who barely knew the thunderous-that's the only word that can describe it-achievements of Rafael Nadal before reading this article.
I knew he was good, but DUDE, that is effing (I utter the eff word a lot these days) insane.
Today I looked out of my bedroom window and saw the sweetest rims on a Chevrolet parked in the carpark. And the spoiler was pretty cool as well. A hell of a pimped up car, that was.
Another thing, I guess this is kinda late to talk about it, but the choir got Silver for SYF. Which, of course, in many ways, was disappointing. However, I believe we should not blame this on anyone else except ourselves for not achieving our goal. You need to be pitch-perfect and expressive to get a Gold. And we just weren't. But I really do think we did our best under the circumstances. Mith was telling me about how the ones who put in the most for the choir are the ones who beat themselves up the most for not achieving our goal. That is screwed up. In short, it should not happen.
I think the person who directly pushed us the most was Juniper. She is great.
Scarily so.
I HATE MY PRINTER. AND MY DESKTOP. EFFING PIECES OF TECHNOLOGICAL GARBAGE!

oh, yes, i'm back
{See, I'm not dead!}
The past few days have really been quite enriching. I feel as though I have understood a bit more about life. I know it sounds cheesy, but really, I have.
It started with Princess Diaries 10, the book. Insane? But strangely, it gave me a little bit hope in the sense that Mia has really grown as a character since the last book. She’s more mature, she can set her priorities straight, she thinks rationally. She whines less, too. I really liked that factor in the book. It was so much more refreshing. Anyway, getting to that ‘little bit of hope’ part, I sincerely don’t like who I am as a person right now. I’m anything but grown up, and I am more irrational than a particularly square-rooted irrational number. It kind of scared me that this was how I would stay for the rest of my life; this irresponsible freak who can’t set her mind on what to do half the time. But that book kind of made me realise that I still have room to develop into a more mature being. Now I really sound corny. But anyway, it was certainly a good revelation. For me, at least.
Second, I learned stuff about people around me, too. This is a slightly touchy subject, because I obviously can’t go on about other people because that would then be filed under ‘Gossip’ or ‘Bitching’. Some people really, really don’t care about anything unless it concerns them. Those kind of people are sometimes very hard to deal and cooperate with cause they’re extremely troublesome. Oh, well. But that brings me to my next revelation:
I am a very forgiving person. This is the only quality I can find about myself that is remotely good. It can be bad, too. When you forgive a person easily, they may make the same mistake over again. It’s frustrating. Let me give you an example: Say, hypothetically, a person has been very rude to me or called me ‘stupid’ in a way that was very insulting. What do I do? Of course I get pissed off. I get pissed off and I rant to all my friends, wear a black face, talk less, etc. But then, when that person who had called me ‘stupid’ turns around and is nice to me or offers to help me with something, I immediately smile and forgive her/him. Just like that. And then the person might take advantage of this and bite me in the ass the next day.
Sigh.
I also discovered a hell lot of other things about my classmates, and I was quite bewildered by what I heard.
It hit me right in the face how different Sec 3 is. And not just regarding studies.
{Wise words from a wise one:
“...some people have green eyes cause they have chlorophyll in them.”}

literary devices and birds
Just had Lit class. Very amusing, thanks to the dramatic teachings of Mr M. Yesterday A-Maths was quite funny, too, because our class kept repeating "how?" to Mr Choy telling us to attempt a particularly meticulous sum.
Got E-Maths test results today. Predictably, Luisa got full marks. Ha-ha.
Have to start on Commonwealth essay soon! Finding it difficult to produce any quality phrases or paragraphs that might set me apart from the rest.
I am a failure.
Andro told really lame jokes yesterday. We laughed our stomachs to stitches, still.
Q: Ah Bao and his friend, Pao, went to the movies. The movie was very touching, but only Ah Bao cried, Pao didn't cry. Why?
A: Pao didn't have any fillings.
Now, how retarded is that? Ms V almost died in exasperation when Andro went on to tell many other lame/funny jokes.
Everything is going monotously OK. Can cope. But utterly boring. If you're a student, you should get my drift and then some.
(Andro has forgotten to draw on my arm today. Yes!)

it's been long
It seems like nowadays I don't have time to do anything at all. Anything that involves personal enjoyment, that is. I haven't written a thing since the first day of school. So that's probably why I've been MIA in the online world. And will be, for weeks to come.
Some things are new. I'm in 3C3, for people who don't know. And 3C3 means very, very busy schedule. It's been tough going through all that and still having to go for choir till evening all days of the week, but I guess I'm coping. I've also been elected English Rep, so the work load/responsibilities get even worse.
Nothing much else to say. There's Physics now!

Twilight Review
It's been a long time since I posted. Sigh.
So I've watched Twilight the movie. Probably later than I would have liked. And not in "a cinema hall near me". Because there is no cinema hall near me. And, yes, I had to resort to the Internet. So you must understand that the resolution wasn't very good and I may have a distorted version of the movie in my head.
But whatever.
First and foremost, be assured that just because I am, quoting Buan Hua, an "obsessed" Twilighter, it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing but praise will come spilling out of my mouth for the movie.
I have good things to say about it, and bad things.
The Good
1. Michael Welsh did a great job as Mike. Actually, all the humans were pretty awesome. I love Angela's glasses. Dork, I know. And Eric "La Push" Yorkie was portrayed well, too.
2. Now my favourite Cullen is so Carlisle. When he entered the hospital room and started checking Bella's eyes, I was like 'Woah, rewind." And I think I rewinded it. A slight advantage of cheating off the Net. (But I swear I'll buy the DVD.)
3. "As if you could outrun me!"
"As if you could fight me off!"
Woah, woah, woah. Easy, Edward Cullen. Keep your vampire angst to yourself, please. But really, that scene was so totally awesome.
4. The Cullens' house was damn cool. Esme rocks!
5. James and Victoria=love. You should know why.
6. I saved the best for the last. The baseball scene, I believe, was the only scene in the entire movie that actually did justice to the scene in the book. Maybe even better than the book. I say this because in the book, you couldn't hear Supermassive Black Hole playing in the background and neither could you have heard Rosalie say, "My monkey man," smugly.
And this is also the only time Jasper didn't look like a...well, total retard. He's gorgeous, of course, but the 'pained look' really doesn't suit his face. If you get my drift.
Alice? Identical to the one in the book.
Emmett? Amaaaazing.
.....
Why have I suddenly lost the will to write?
I guess I shall write the bad things about the movie next post, when I am feeling marginally better. I got sidetracked by Yi Bin's blog and the recording of the choir singing Dancing Queen. Once I heard that, whoosh! Writing skills exited my brain.
Why is that?
So I've watched Twilight the movie. Probably later than I would have liked. And not in "a cinema hall near me". Because there is no cinema hall near me. And, yes, I had to resort to the Internet. So you must understand that the resolution wasn't very good and I may have a distorted version of the movie in my head.
But whatever.
First and foremost, be assured that just because I am, quoting Buan Hua, an "obsessed" Twilighter, it doesn't necessarily mean that nothing but praise will come spilling out of my mouth for the movie.
I have good things to say about it, and bad things.
The Good
1. Michael Welsh did a great job as Mike. Actually, all the humans were pretty awesome. I love Angela's glasses. Dork, I know. And Eric "La Push" Yorkie was portrayed well, too.
2. Now my favourite Cullen is so Carlisle. When he entered the hospital room and started checking Bella's eyes, I was like 'Woah, rewind." And I think I rewinded it. A slight advantage of cheating off the Net. (But I swear I'll buy the DVD.)
3. "As if you could outrun me!"
"As if you could fight me off!"
Woah, woah, woah. Easy, Edward Cullen. Keep your vampire angst to yourself, please. But really, that scene was so totally awesome.
