We were walking home from dinner just outside our house there. And as we were walking down the road, my brother's pants happened to be dropping, and his bright turquoise underwear kept getting exposed. It was kind of hilarious watching him keep pulling his pants up.

So, this was his response:

"It appears that this pair of pants is too large for my waist."

For those of you who know me very well, you can guess what I did next.

-cough cough cough-

I seriously can't imagine him in secondary school.

As compared with yesterday, today was really boring. Even though yesterday was like all checking of results and everything.

We started today with assembly in the hall, as usual. And then Mdm Heng announced that Mdm Chew would be leaving Nanyang this year end, and this was followed by a series of very touching talks and montages. Which made me cry D: And I kept on poking Sabrina (who was sitting in front of me) to tell her that I was crying, and then halfway through I heard Huiting (who was sitting behind me) sniffing, so I knew that okay, I'm not the only idiot who's actually crying over this.

I mean, it's like, I don't even know why I cried! I've only been in this school for 2 years, and yet why am I so sad (or something like that) because Mdm Chew is leaving? Maybe it's the fact that from next year onwards, I won't see Mdm Chew smiling at us when we walk past her again, like she does every morning during assembly at the quadrangle when we rush down the stairs to get in line.

Anyway, after that, we had this Indian dance lesson thingy, and at first I was like DDD: But it was quite fun lah, and very active. I got 95% of the dance, and amazingly, I actually enjoyed myself (: Then the lady asked for 10 people to go up on stage to dance. We were all like ... , then more people when up and finally we pulled half of 213 up on stage, myself included :D

Okay the rest of the day is pretty much as mundane as ever.

This is recent.

I really have so much to say yet I don't know where to begin. Let's start from the start!

Today, I auto-woke up at 5.30 am, without my alarm clock ringing, because I suddenly remembered (while I was sleeping, mind you) that I had forgotten to cut my nails the previous night. So I got up (at 5.30 am) to cut my nails over the toilet bowl. And crawled back to sleep at 5.50 am. I didn't sleep very deep, but "woke up" at 5.57 am without my alarm clock ringing :D

Went to school, blah blah blah, checked marks, which was the boringest part of the day. Science was okay-ish, got 91/100, and I totally flunked Math Paper 1 with 50/60 with a babillion careless mistakes. But Math Paper 2 pulled me up with 58/60 (some careless :/) so I got 90/100. Ah well I'm satisfied with my marks :D

Okay I'm being frank because it's 10.58 pm on my computer clock now, and I want to go back to sleep but I have so much to write and if I leave it tomorrow I will forget everything.

Straight after school, I lugged all the big and small bottles of liquid to the toilet to attempt to put in the contacts. It was quite 尴尬 cos there were more people than I expected crowding around me. Like Sabrina (who was very helpful) and Ting Ting (also very helpful) and Fiona Teo and Xuan Li... I have no idea how come they find so much interest in standing in the toilet watching me trying to unsuccessfully wear contacts. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I was in the toilet for 45 minutes and finally Hui Ting had to help me wear them :D

We practised a little more, changed, and then went for final rehearsal in audi. Which went pretty well, I guess.

Then we had dinner (Canadian pizza again) at 5 pm! Which is super early. I had 2 slices of pizza (which really isn't enough since I usually eat like 3 slices), and then 2 small cups of Pepsi. After "dinner" was make up time, so I decided to 飘 around, like watching the random TVs at the lift and going with the English-Nazi to the General Office to get safety pins. Anyway, I was attacked by Cheryl in the end.

I was getting pretty used to my contacts now. Had a final briefing in audi by Mr. Nick Ng, and then we dispersed to our holding areas.

DramaFest Showcase A officially started! When 206's play just started, we were made to go to the backstage, and Yi Xin started being all punk-ish (i.e. in character), even to Mdm Oehlers and Mr. Ng o.0

Our turn came. I'm 100% sure that everyone put in their best, and the staring-intently-at-random-stuff-such-as-the-floor-or-edge-of-my-chair came easier than usual, so... yeah :D

To say we were excited, or nervous, or whatever verbs that have escaped my mind, is a total understatement. After that 10 minutes up there on the stage, we were all jumping about and hugging each other. Since it was interval, we went out to the audi foyer there and were walking around very dazedly. Well, at least for me.

Interval over, we went back to LT1 and watched the rest of DramaFest until halfway through 211's play.The TCNers then brought us up to the circle seats to watch the montage and know the results!

Montage was... there was this super unglam picture of me. Yeah. And me with the rest of ensemble :D But it was during rehearsals, so I was wearing my glasses :D

RESULTS OMG.

The judge gave this super long speech. And she ended this speech by saying she wanted to congratulate (or something like that) some people personally.

The first people she congratulated: 213 ensemble! :D OMG I was like trying so hard not to cry! The tears were already welling up but ah well. Jiachun did, but anyway. Really, like all those hours spent with our faces to the floor, all those countless moments we had to bang the chairs (which is real difficult if you haven't tried before cos we have to go in rhythm, go from softer to louder and count at the same time), all those times we had to endure knee/chin/nose/foot pain when we knelt on the floor/bang the chair top against our chin or nose (which I once did, and was so scared I had broken my nose)/slammed the chair onto our feet, it was all worth it.

Because in exchange, the 7 of us really bonded better, laughed so much more when we tried to make serious faces (and I was always the one who ended up laughing first), and our cool ensemble way of sitting on our chairs when we are at the backstage and waiting for our turn!

ohmo I've digressed. RESULTS. We screamed till we couldn't scream any longer.

Just before the results were released, Yi Xin pointed out the digital clock in the auditorium, which said 21:13, and she said it was a sign, like cos it was close to 213. At that time, we were all like ._. , but we...

1. Got into Encore Night
2. Best Production
3. Best Ensemble :D -hearts-
4. Best Actress (Dorcas Tan!)
   

So many people are active on Facebook now even though it's like 11.24 pm, posting on how much we love 213. And really, 213's like the best class I've ever been in ever since I started my education in kindergarten.

Sidetracking a little, my hair smells like hair gel now o.0

Okay I truly don't know what to say now, it's like 非笔墨所能形容的感觉. This is the millionth time I've used that phrase.

Bad news for the day: Guzheng Grade 9 exam on last day of class chalet D: Which is right after we return from Japan, and you've no freaking idea how many CCAs I've lost. I'm seriously gonna die. Like really. Looks like last year is repeating itself all over again, and the exam will have to be postponed, so that a) I can go class chalet, and b) I can have more time to practice and perhaps resort to going to laoshi's house again.

This is a long post oh dear. And it's 11.29 pm now.

I can't believe our 2 years as a class passed so quickly. I do hope we can continue our sit-at-one-table tradition till next year, although it seems far-fetched and I doubt we can keep up with it for so long.

And, following Hui Ting's idea on Facebook...

I love you, 我爱你, Je t'aime, 사랑해요, 私は愛する, Ik houd van u (Dutch), Ich liebe dich (German), Σ' αγαπώ (Greek), Ti amo (Italian), Eu te amo (Portuguese), Я тебя люблю (Russian), Te amo (Spanish)

213! :D

I can't believe DramaFest is just tomorrow! :D We've prepared so hard and so long for this (and thus dubbed Most Hardworking Class by Mr. Nick Ng), and it's kinda unbelievable how it's all gonan end soon. Even if we do get into Encore Night.

Anyway, we went to the Pompeii exhibit in the National Museum of Singapore today, and one of the worksheet typo errors was epic funny. Tilt head please. And sorry for the blurry poor quality. I was on a moving bus, mind you.


:D We were like all loling. And all the way to the museum on the bus, we were highing and singing random songs. What's worse was that there were 5 Sec 4 seniors sitting at the back of the bus with our class. One of them was my guzheng senior, and another was a councillor who interviewed me for NYSC Senior Interviews -horrible flashback- who is coincidentally Fiona's senior.

Got back LA and Geog today. LA was depressing. Like Chinese. But it was kinda cool, because both my compre and summary got the same marks, while both my compo and unseen got the same marks :D The uncool part is that all these same marks are low ): Compre and Summary both got 17/25, while compo and unseen both got 22/30. Which is a borderline A2 if you add everything up.

Just like Chinese.

Geography, like History, proved to be a shocker. I was expecting that I'll get averagish kind of low, and end up being average in class... as usual. But I got A1, and so... :D I was so proud of my section B! :D But not my section A, unfortunately, it pulled me down. That stupid valley question grrrr.... Which reminds me of Math and Science which we are getting back tomorrow. I have this feeling I made a lot of careless mistakes. Like seriously.

But just some calculation... If my LA overall get A2, Math overall get A1, Chinese overall get A2, Science overall get A1 and Humanities overall get A1, then I'll have an MSG of 1.5 and I'll be able to get into MSTP! :D But I'll probably do very badly in Sec 3, anyway.

DramaFest tomorrow, eeek!!! :D

You know, after today, I have realised that we have so little time left together as a class, and in ___ days' time, we won't be called 213 any longer ): It seemed so long ago when I first stepped in 113 and was so confused and didn't know everyone (except Pork, Li Shuen and Chiang Yan Li). And then, I also recall the first day of Sec 2, where I was walking to our new comfy ulu classroom and everything felt so foreign, thinking happily to myself that we still had 12 months together.

Which means we must seriously put in all our best for DramaFest! :D 213 I will really miss all of you guys ♥ !

Anyway, Sabrina made me addicted to this song:



And turns out Han Wei also knows it!

For those of you who don't know, after all the DramaFest rehearsals, I am now officially trained to react to any form of "PSST!", so don't feel awkward/surprised when you accidentally go "PSST!" and I turn around to face you with a confused look.

Today was return of results for Chinese and History. I did epic badly for Chinese. I think I'm like worst in class or something. 应用文 I got 13/20 which is okayish okay given my standards, 作文 got 50/70 which is not bad given my standards, and main paper got 76/110 which is normal given my standards. In fact I improved by 1.5 marks from BT2. I'm wondering how I got 84.5/110 for last year's EOY. Anyway, I think it was my 长文缩短 which pulled me down. For those of you who don't know (this is the second time I am using this phrase in this post), I epicly failed my 长文缩短 with a record breaker 6/20. Overall got 139/200, or 69.5/100, which according to Jamie can be rounded up to 70/100 and so is an A2! :D If it isn't, please don't tell me.

Ignorance is bliss.

As for History, I did 10 marks higher than expected :D Before History EOY, I was like walking around telling everyone I'd get a calculated 28/50 for History. But my essay questions, amazingly got 8/10 for both, when I scored 4/10 for both during practices. The first section was like pffftttt...

Tomorrow is LA and Geog! And the History trip to on Pompeii! :D I also want to go for that CSI Experience thingy in Science Centre leh :3

CSI ROCKS.

Ahhhhh my blog is getting boring -.-

I BLAME IT ON DRAMA FEST!

Haha :D I shall be a lazy pig and say all the pics from our Drama Fest rehearsals are uploaded on Facebook, so if you don't have Facebook, well... too bad. I'm evil :D

Anyway, I finished The Lost Symbol in 2 days! :D Now I'm on Deception Point. Which is old and written in 2001.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh tomorrow is return of results. Imma die. Like History and Chinese! What can be worse than that?!?!

And for today's rehearsal, it was kinda like full dress, and we had to wear our costumes and make up and everything.

And the mascara is like damn irritating can or not.

It makes your eyelashes stick together and it's so tough to open your eyes!! Then if you try to like blink blink blink, people might think you're:

a) spastic,
b) trying to get rid of a bug in your eye, or
c) exercising your eyelids.

Sigh. Tomorrow CCA clash with Drama Fest Rehearsal ): I'm gonna seriously die for Guzheng Exam this year. 林冲夜奔, please let me learn you successfully!

DFest in 3 days' time. jys, 213!

Okay today was very much like the previous two days.

Like even more tiring because I only slept like 4 hours and 40 minutes last night as I was waiting in the dark study room (okay, I turned on the lights -duh- but outside the house was all dark >0<) for like more than 2 hours for the printer to print the posters.

Anyway, we went to Golden Rooster for lunch today! And they were singing like this choir thing on the bus all the way to Coro there, and I was like hanging out at the back with Ying Tong and Nicole / Yan Li, dying of embarrassment. They were singing like Que Sera Sera then suddenly switched to Dare to Dream o.0

Sigh tomorrow still need to go back to school for like 2 hours :/

Finished The Da Vinci Code! Already started on The Lost Symbol harhar :D

Today's pics on facebook!

Okay I shall go drink water now. I am super thirsty and I think the pizza I had from Pizza Hut delivery for dinner has a part to play in it.

As compared to yesterday, today was quite slack. But I still spent a lot of time staring at three different kinds of floors (outside corridor floor, classroom floor and audi stage floor). I think I prefer the audi stage floor the best. It doesn't have the stinky feet smell. And it looks cleaner.

Today we were like seriously ridiculous. We were singing random bursts of Que Sera Sera, and Sabrina and I turned out to be very good lip-syncing partners! Check out the video on facebook! (because I'm lazy to upload here)

Had two slices of Canadian pizza for lunch, and went all the way to Coro by myself to buy bubble tea for me and strawberry milk tea for Huiting.

Pictures on facebook too!

Aw man I really wish we can have black hoodies for ensemble... :D

Okay it isn't a really a camp, but it feels like one. I mean, not complaining, but we are in school from 7.45 am to 4 pm / 5 pm. The time I spend staring at the script is longer than the time I spend staring at my computer! Which is quite a feat.

I took a few pictures, only at the end of the day, which I will upload on Facebook! Like all the photos taken from all our rehearsal days... All in one album! :D Memories, people, memories.

The first part of the day was quite boring. We basically did rehearsals, again and again, since I'm part of Ensemble and we were all about coordination. We'd better get Best Ensemble Award or really, all our efforts are like ...

Xuan Li ordered Mcdonalds for lunch! The Mcdonalds guy who came was quite nice, and brought everything up for us (like we didn't have to carry anything), and then he gave us some advice on living life happily or something like that. Go check Fiona's blog.

Lunch was AWESOME :D We totally hecked the no eating in class rule and ate happily in class, and Mr. Lim even popped by and I very nicely gave him a fry. Like he didn't even scold us larh ._. And we joined three tables together and sat around it and starting eating. We also played this Alcohol thingy, and this intervention thingy, and finally there were so many interventions there had to be an intervention to stop interventions.

Practised more, blah blah blah. Scraped my knees and skinned a bit of the skin off my finger so now there's a red blaster with a big hippo on it wrapped around my thumb and dancing around as I type this. It proved to be a real pain because I had to bathe with like nine fingers and I am right-handed. Cheryl Yau I know you're laughing. And I had to try to keep my finger from getting wet, and you have no idea how frustrating and painful that is.

And cos we ended kinda early, before scheduled, so a few of us stayed back and started watching Whose Line is it Anyway on Youtube. Trust me, it's freaking hilarious.

This is the best piece of news of my life.

Ah well. Tomorrow till Saturday gotta go back to school, rest on Sunday (thank goodness) and then Monday it's back to drama fest again. Tuesday getting back results DD:

I'm looking forward to Drama Fest and all the time with Ensemble!

Ensemble whoo~~!!!!! :D

And Que Sera Sera is stuck in my head.

OVER! :D

But still, somehow, I don't quite have this sense of mega relief I was expecting. In fact, I still feel like rather lost, as to like I still feel it's in the middle of eoys and I still have to mug. Or maybe it's because I already began slacking over the weekends :/

Anyway, being the person with poor-sense-of-time-coordination I am, I woke up early again today -.- Gosh was it so long ago since I last woke up a little too early for school?

Whatever. Today's was worse.

I woke up, thinking my alarm clock had rung. As usual, I brushed my teeth, washed up blah blah blah... Then all of a sudden, when I was still in the toilet (with the door closed duh)...

Ma: Why you haven't sleep yet? So late already!
Me: -confused- Huh? What time is it?
Ma: 12 am!
Me: ... Oh.

But I was kinda pleased that I had an "extra" 6 hours of sleep.

I shall not talk about Math Paper 1. I died horribly at it (understatement of the century). First, I left the first question sort of blank. I just wrote some crap, don't know whether the teacher will understand. Then when the paper ended nearly everyone had found the answer for at least the first part of the question, and I was feeling 自卑ish. Second, I died again at the first part of the factorisation question. And then I later found out it was not by difference of two squares or perfect squares, but by lo and behold!

Cross factorisation.

You can't imagine how murderous I felt when I realised what I had forsaken.

Went out with Shin Yee and Michelle and Sophia and Jamie and Rachel Ng and Jiachun! We went to Vivo City (as usual), and ended up doing a lot of walking around.

After changing, we went to Sushi Tei! Of course, like you can guess, it was Miss Chang who dragged us there -sense of deja vu-

I had niku udon! :D which came the last out of everyone. But it was yummy (: with loads and buckets of msg.

MSG. OMG.

7/8 eaten.

Sophia's _____ (insert unknown food here) udon!! :D You can see her behind trying to dodge the camera.

And for once, I actually drank the very steaming hot green tea O: but I had to use the udon spoon first :D

Walked around some more after that, and then Sophia and Shin Yee and Jamie and Rachel Ng and Jiachun went to the top level there that "wading pool" to walk around. But me and Michelle Michelle and I (Etsuko precautions!) were too lazy / didn't want to get our feet wet so we stayed on dry land and watched them walk around ._. But we went Daiso somewhere in between.

Then it started drizzling so we had to go back in.

Forever 21!!!!!!! :DDDD

Has the chioest (besides Diva duh) collection of necklaces!!! :D I was totally tempted to buy something, but haiz... I'm a practising thrifty person. Or at least trying to. And there was this bird necklace that I really fell in love -hearts- with, because it seriously looks like that little bird I always draw. But then ):

Speaking of Diva, they were having a buy 1 get 1 free sale like omg!!! but we didn't go -sad face- Which might be a blessing in disguise because I would have otherwise been tempted to steal the whole shop on my shoulders and run away.

Marking Day is Dramafestrehearsal Day. Yay.

I, Koh Han Yi, officially vow that today will not be the last day I set foot into Forever 21!

You know, it feels as if eoys are already over. And like how it seemed like a babillion years ago since I was fml-ing everyday.

But when I recall all those stupid mistakes I made in all my tests (e.g. today's science: forgot to multiply by 7 right at the last minute when Ms Ong was already collecting -.-), it just makes your heart drop you know, that kind of feeling.

Anyway, tomorrow with Jamie and Rachel Ng and Michelle and Sophia and Shin Yee and Jia Chun (and Dorcas)! :D But we haven't quite decided where to go yet, sigh.

And I shall set up a Tumblr account! :D for fun.

Tumblr is confusing. I guess that's how it feels whenever you start something new. I remember in December 2008 when I was a newcomer at Blogger, and I was like -blur blur- And now I'm like... WHOA.

But I've this feeling that Tumblr will add to my list of another one of those forgotten online societies. Current members: Twitter (occassionally go and see), Friendster, Plurk.

But the themes of Tumblr are nice :D And you get to share awesome pictures, so maybe not. And I'm still trying to figure my way out, so... :/

AND TUMBLR TAKES SO LONG TO LOAD D:

As of tomorrow, I am going on a full ambigramdesigning-bookreading-serialdramaepisodesandmoviewatching-petsocietyplaying-tumblrexploring mode.

So long eoys. You won't be missed.

I am officially obsessed over ambigrams! :D

It was quite tough to do at first (I started wiht "Shika"), but after awhile it gets slightly easier (: Speaking of which, I have already finished Angels and Demons, even before eoys have ended =3=

My darn itchy hand.

I shall continue with The Da Vinci Code after eoys! -nods head- Although I have already read it before, finishing on 8 June 2009 in Macau, but still. I think I've forgotten the story line :/ But this time, it's French!

Anyway.

It says "Han Yi". This one's not very well done, because the "A" and "n" look too similar.

And Han Wei's! I think this one is nice eh! :D

Maybe I shall do ambigrams for the whole class after eoys :D

Apparently, I didn't quite stick through with my plan to mug during the weekends. I think I slacked a lot today. Sigh.

Tomorrow shall be intensive mugging! -determined look-

And I'm so proud of myself I successfully managed to design an ambigram! (go see Drama Fest blog)

Angels and Demons, you shall not tempt me!

But then again, sigh...

Three more days (:

It's such a huge, 非笔墨所能形容的 relief that History is, finally, history.

The definition questions were easy, and when I saw them I was like YEAH! But SBQ, you know, as usual, I had mindblock and couldn't come up with a logical answer and ended up crapping the unreliable part. Essay questions were okay, except I hope I answered correctly and detailed enough.

Today shall be my recuperating day, after stressing so much for one week. I shall not touch any revision today! -determined look- Which is, heh, for me, easier done than said. Then I shall mug Math and Science during the weekends!

Then, it's liberation, people! Korean dramas, various movies, Steph Meyer and Dan Brown, I'll be back!

Even when I'm on Facebook, PAP must come and haunt me.

Anyway, here's today's Natalie Dee comic.



LA Paper 1 was fine. I did the graffiti one and the poem. I kinda like the poem. It's like... sarcastic. Like me.

Then I screwed the valley question for Geog.

Today's Chinese was... I did the 公函 and the 报章读后感. Although I think I screwed up the 公函 too. Chinese Paper 2 was atrociously megaliciously superbly screwed. I crapped up x number of questions. And in the 综合填空, half of the 10 questions, my answer was option 3, while Nicole only had like one 3. Prepare to fail.

Tomorrow's LA Paper 2 and History. Double death.

Sometimes, I can totally understand what these little guys are feeling.

3 days to EOYs, and I'm barely prepared. Die luh.

Anyway. These are yesterday's (Saturday) pictures!! :D

We were walking to dinner, and I found that the sky was kinda cool :D


And look! A toy from a random shop which Han Wei pointed out to me. It's a cross between Thomas the train and Transformers ._.


Anyway, I have this sudden liking recently over Fahrenheit, Westlife and Backstreet Boys. Okay I used to really like love Westlife, but suddenly I'm like ___ (insert word here) over them again. And I listened to the random Fahrenheit and Westlife and BSB songs on Youtube, and I suddenly remember like my childhood!! Because I always heard all those songs when I was young, but I didn't know that it was ___ (insert boyband name here) who sang it, let alone what the song name is.

Chronogical order! (since last Friday)

So last Friday was 1 October, aka Children's Day!! :D And we had this "class party" thing, which wasn't really a party but more like a snacking time with nuggets + packet drinks from back of the class + random chips +... yeah you get what I mean.

We had marshmallows too! So 马桶 and Yau who were sitting near me decided to have this "squeeze-marshmallows-into-mouth" game. I can't remember who won though :/ Oh yes it was Cheryl! :D I have this memory of Ying Tong jumping up halfway, her mouth full of marshmallows and running to the dustbin to spit everything out :P


And on the same day, we got back our Bio BT results! I did okayish, 37/40 (same as Chem last term), but I was very indignant because: a) I lost 1 mark because I didn't circle the phenotype of the gametes in the genetic diagram, and b) I lost another 1 mark for 1 MCQ which I still feel extremely indignant about because I don't see why my answer is wrong and my teacher insists that it is wrong :/

Anyway, Ms Lim was nice and made up for making me indignant by giving all of us these cute little Japanese biscuit thingies. I just ate mine harhar. Like 1 week after she gave us. It was all lao4 hong1 (dialect) already ): Because I forgot to bring it home last week and stayed in class until Wednesday --"

Me and Yan Li Yan Li and I (corrects before Etsuko can come along) were making our biscuit dolls pose!! :D But in the end she ate hers and it became a ghost to come and haunt mine. And we took out our pens and started fighting :DD Shin Yee then came along and we did an encore of the ghost vs. living biscuit pen-fight scene, and she was like ._.


Yesterday during Math, I was freaking bored because Mdm Lee didn't go through like anything in particular. So for the last part of the lesson, my attention started to drift and I made this awesome emoticon on my calculator!! :D

Yan Li said it was my expression )'-'(


Okay yes today! First things first, go check Google now. Today's Google is freaking cool.


Quite a few weird things happened in school today, actually.

During LA, Yan Li forgot to bring her poem (she's always forgetting to bring something AHEM.) and so I had to share mine with her. Mdm Oehlers wanted us to discuss and annotate SLIMS for First Lesson (my favourite!), and she went to change our CA marks DD: (at first the ICAS was indicated to be upon 50, but it's actually upon 60 so all our grades dropped e.g. me: 2 marks above A1 to 1 mark to A1). Ah well at least that gives me hope that I can somehow scrape A1 for LA, by some stroke of luck

DIGRESSED. Anyway, Yan Li and I also digressed while we were annotating and started talking about something which I have forgotten. And halfway through we looked behind us and I was pleased to find that Jamie and Hui Ting weren't annotating either. So we weren't the only ones who had digressed.

History made me feel like history. For the whole lesson I was fml-ing and groaning about how I would fail History and aim to get 28/50 for EOY, because Ms Ong gave us back the SEQs that she marked, and I got 4/10 for both ._.

Math was awesome ♥ It was our last Math lesson as a class with Mdm Lee, so it was kinda emotional. We didn't really do much, apart from watching the Examination episode of Mr. Bean (how apt.) and then Mdm Lee proceeded to give us tips on exams, and then we watched these cool videos on these Japanese contraption thingies which name has slipped my mind ._. Then Mdm Lee gave us these personal notes, with random Math formulae and everything (mine had a lightbulb, Yan Li's was y=mx+c)

During Lunch I didn't even move one muscle to go down to the canteen (wow! unusual :D) because I wasn't really hungry.

I started doing my work, and Yi Xin, being Yi Xin the YIrritating started kicking my chair from behind so I stole her pencil case :D Anyway, to cut a long story short, she stole her pencil case back from me. Then for some reason, I started laughing so hard (or whatever, I kinda forgot the reason), that I fell from my chair ...

And everyone in class at that point of time was like "Han Yi!"

-flashback of fainting experience in class-

Anyway. I DIDN'T FAINT. I JUST FELL OFF MY CHAIR.

Okay but it's kinda like deja vu cos I fell in the same direction :P

For the last part of lunch, I hand my hand in two games of Tap Tap (one middle -as insisted by Shin Yee- and easy with Dorcas). And thus, this was how I went down in history as the only person ever to get shoulder sores from playing two games of Tap Tap. They weren't even in a row -.- I think because I was too tensed that's why :D FYI, Shin Yee and Dorcas both thrashed me.

Science was Physics, and Mr Tan gave us a free period to study whatever we wanted.

School end! Mummy was already waiting downstairs for me -joy- Saw Janice and Clarie in front of the audi, and when I got into the car and Mummy was starting to drive away, I turned around and saw Janice running away with her phone raised in her hand. Hmm... -suspicious look-

Anyway, Mummy asked if I had eaten lunch yet (like I had guessed), and I said no (duh), so we decided to go to the food court near Han Wei's school to eat. But she made a wrong turn and we went to Junction 8 instead :D

But then once we were at Junction 8, we were faced with the same problem.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT.

So we were walking aimlessly at the basement of J8.

OMG SIDETRACK FOR AWHILE. I AM LISTENING TO OLDIES NOW OMG. (I want it that Way, Backstreet Boys ♥) And ahh!!!! Recently I've been having like overdose of 飞轮海, and it all began with me hearing 心疼你的心疼 in the car on the way to school ._.

ANYWAY.

-walks past Sakae Sushi-
Ma: Sushi?
Me: Huh, but very ex leh.
Ma: Aiya, pamper ourselves larh.
Me: ... then Han Wei leh?
Ma: Don't care larh -drags me over to look at menu-

So that was how we ended up having a mother-daughter lunch at Sakae Sushi o.0 And just nice they had some problems with the hot water supply, so the waiters were going around serving people hot water from a kettle whereby usually you can just lean over and press your cup against that thingy and poof! hot water comes out!

And Mummy's teabag looked quite artistic :D


After quite some time my terriyaki chicken ramen which was ordered by that cool computer thingy came in this 超级大的 bowl. Okay it doesn't really come out here, but let's just say I could stick my head inside the bowl.


And Mummy had this weird spicy bimimbab (whatever) donburi thing, and for once she actually said something from Sakae Sushi was nice.

LISTENING TO IT'S MY LIFE NOW. OMG WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME ANOTHER OLDIE O:

Ma: This is nicer than Korean eh.
Me: What Korean?
Ma: As in all the other Korean ones which I have eaten before.
Me: -disbelief- This is the first time you're saying something good about Sakae Sushi.

Anyway, I perked up many times during our lunch! When we came in, they started playing Insomnia, the Korean version by Wheesung, and I was like: "Hmm, this is an English song eh."

And then after that OMGOMGOMGOMG THEY STARTED PLAYING HARU HARU!!!!!!! When I heard the first few parts, I was like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG and went on to sing the chorus and mumble the rest. The person sitting "beside" us on the other side of the travelling thingy must be like o.0 this nanyang girl arh.

Then OMGOMGOMGOMG THEY STARTED PLAYING LOVE LIKE THIS BY SS501 AFTER THAT. By now I was hopping on my seat like some insane lunatic.

Then OMGOMGOMG THEY STARTED PLAYING STAND BY ME BY SHINEE. And cos I was eating then my head suddenly perked up, and Mummy went: "Okay, shhh..." LOL.

Then OMGOMGOMG THEY STARTED PLAYING YEARNING OF HEART BY A'ST1.

We had to leave pretty soon anyway cos we had to pick Han Wei up, and when we were paying THEY STARTED PLAYING NOBODY BY WONDER GIRLS.

And then just now I had a diarrhoea. Like I was sitting at my table, typing Geog and then suddenly felt like stomachache, so I ran to the toilet. Anyway, poop during diarrhoea/stomachaches is kinda gross. It's like wet and slimy and gloppy (okay all poops are, but this one even more) and like, floating about about in the toilet bowl. And then once you clean your butt and drop the epicly-dirtified toilet paper into the toilet bowl, it drops into all the gross poop and becomes even more epicly-dirtified. And it's really sad watching how your even more epicly-dirtified usde toilet paper is floating-about-to-sink in like what poop land, and soaking up all the... okay I shan't go into details.


For those of you who haven't know, I found my ruler last night after blogging.

It was under my laptop all the while :D

I lost my ruler today ):

Again.

And I felt so lost in school for the entire day. Because I lost my ruler. So I had to resort to borrowing Yan Li's ruler for the whole day.

At first, I thought I forgot to bring my ruler to school and I'd left it at home on my desk. But now that I'm at home and back at my desk, I can't find my ruler at all ):

In other words, my ruler is lost ):

My dear ruler, you have helped me rule my life into straight lines.

You were the one who helped me through essay after essay, the one who helped me cancel out the things I wrote wrongly neatly.

You were the one who helped me bring the right out of the wrong in everything that I wrote with your perfectly straight ways.

You were the one who helped me in a billion linear and quadratic graph questions, the one who helped me redraw the foolscap lines when I corrected taped them off, the one who was the perfect 20 centimetres long.

You were the one who guided my eyes when I couldn't see in a straight line when we had to check our results in school.

You were the one who went through notes after notes with me, the one who was there to help me highlight the key words and phrases of my notes.

You were the one who endured quiz after quiz, test after test, examination after examination with me, the one who was there with me through my most tense, most nervous, darkest hour.

My dear ruler, although other people may view you with such little importance, just another something in their pencil cases, you simply have no idea how much difference you make in my life. True, you have many more cousins sitting in the pencil holders on my desk, but my dear ruler, you are the only ruler who bears my name on you. Do you see now how important you are to me? How much you are missed?

My dear ruler, please, where are you? Without you, I cannot function. Without you, my life won't be straight. Without you, my life will be all wobbly and distorted.

My dear ruler, please come back to me, come back and make my life straight once again.

Wow sounds exciting :D

As of today, I have found my new love for Natalie Dee comics, and I shall post those that I like. Btw it's a daily thing :D

Anyway, I guess my life is pretty much like that now. Okay fine, it has been all the while. And, not to such an extent, but I do get irritated when my cupboard refuses to close, usually because a) I anyhow jammed the stuff in, b) there's too many things inside, or c) there's something jutting out.

Ok fine, so maybe I had a nervous breakdown the other day, and ended up emoing on my blog, so now I'm trying really hard to really like stop emoing, but I have mood swings. Live with it.

And thank you to Yi Xin, who specially called me up to ask how I was feeling (and our failed 1 minute of mourning for Mrs Lee Kuan Yew over the phone), while I was watching Personal Taste. And also Li Shuen, who sent me that inspirational email from your father over email, and our arguing over which font should be better over Yahoo Messenger really helped me destress by quite a bit. And Cheryl Yau and Yan Li and Fiona arguing over who tags blogs regularly, that was rather entertaining (:

So to put it in this way, for around fifteen more days (i.e. 2 weeks), I might constantly / occassionally (depends on the direction my mood swings) have nervous breakdowns on why the cabinets are always open, but in around fifteen more days (i.e. 2 weeks), let's just hope the cabinets will finally be closed (:

Have I mentioned that I like Natalie Dee? :D

Took this from yt's blog, which we saw in class before :D

Dear Mom,

I know I haven’t written for three months, but I have been very busy and I’ve been having a very exciting time.

Actually, I’m just back from the hospital, where I had spent a fortnight about two months ago. It was nothing, really – just a concussion on the back of my head, a broken leg and a hairline fracture, that I got while jumping out of the second floor of my hostel when it caught fire.

In fact, I can now stand all by myself without crutches, and can almost see everything perfectly, except for a slight blur.

But don’t worry. The doctor says there is a good chance of me walking on my own again.

Actually, it could have been worse, if not for that nice chai-walla who saw me lying there in a dead faint and rushed me to hospital. He was very helpful, really, and came to see me everyday in the hospital.

Now that I am out of hospital, I had nowhere to go, as the hostel is still under construction. So when he suggested that I move in with him in his hut, I thought it was very kind of him, and agreed. We are very much in love now, and I am sure that you and Dad will surely like him and accept him in the family.

I am sure the minor matter that he is fourteen years older than me and that he is of a different caste and religion, will not matter at all to broad-minded parents like you…

He may be illiterate and poor, but he has a heart of gold – really, Mom, you should see how he cares for both of us – me and his wife, that is. She is quite sweet too, and so are her three children; so there is absolutely no problem.

You must be wondering how you and Dad got informed so late. Don’t get angry, Mom. We just didn’t have the time. You see, we decided to get married only recently since we thought it would be unfair to let our baby into the world without a proper surname..

Yes, Mom, you are going to be a grandmother! Congratulations! I am sure you and Dad are delighted, and will come to visit us in his village in Mizoram after we shift there next week.

OK Mom.

All this did not really happen. There was no fire, no fracture, no bigamous chai-walla and no illegitimate pregnancy. But I did flunk in my Mathematics exam, and I wanted you to view this problem in the right perspective.

Your Darling Daughter

Yay. It's the weekends again.

Somehow, weekends just don't feel like weekends especially when they're right before EOYs. They feel like long hot boring days with absolutely nothing to do besides studying studying and studying. Actually, not really studying. I force, or at least try to force myself to revise History, but the more I read, the more the I don't absorb, and the sleepier I get, so I end up sleeping on my notes.

Or, in other words: no life.

But then again, I have to, or at least want to get into MSTP, but I must have a freaky MSG of 1.5, which in other words: impossible. I've been flunking ever since I stepped into secondary school. So looks like you won't see me at all next year because I've flunked EOYs so badly they've decided to kick me out of Nanyang. All the better.

Really, I don't see the point of exams. I mean, it's like you revise and try to memorise everything for every single subject, and then right after the exams you proceed to cleanly forget it. And, when I grow up and become like oh (if I can), a doctor, how will what I learned about why the Japanese came to Singapore when I was fourteen help me?

My current agenda (not of the things I want to do, but of the things I'm forced to do) consists of 1) making History notes, 2) revising Physics, 3) revising Chemistry, 4) Geography Rivers worksheet, 5) Geography EOY 2009, 6) Geography EOY 2008, 7) Science EOY 2009, 8) Science EOY 2008, 9) Science EOY 2007, 10) reading through the entire thick stack of collated Chinese newspaper articles, 11) doing the chang wen suo duan book, 12) looking through the entire year's worth of newspapers. You know what, just strike that last one out, because I just can't be bothered anymore.

So why am I still blogging?

Because I want to have a life outside studying. Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. In whatever way you interpret it.

When is a life considered a life when all you do, from your birth to your death is keep studying and studying and studying?

I mean, look at it this way.

When you're a child, barely ten years old, you're made to go to school in the wee hours of the morning, nevermind. You get all your carefreeness and playtime and innocence robbed away from you, nevermind. You're made to study hour after hour of English, Math, Chinese and Science, nevermind. You're made to work your guts out for the end of years, every single year until you're 12, and then it's PSLE, nevermind.

When you're a teenager, barely eighteen years old, you're made to go to school again, even earlier in the morning, nevermind. You get all your health and sleep and golden years of your life robbed away from you, nevermind. In school, you go through LA then Math then Chinese then Science then History then Geography, one gruelling, frustrating, mind-boggling, nerve-wrecking lesson after the other, nevermind. After school, you go through your 3rd language, your CCA, your remedial lessons, all the way until six in the evening, nevermind. At home after school, it's already 9pm, yet you've seemed to have barely started on your homework, nevermind. You revise and revise and revise again, the teachers keep pushing you with homework and assignments and projects and SIAs and quizzes and block tests and finally, EOYs, nevermind.

When you're an adult, from what I've gathered, you just keep working and working and working and working. You go to work early, you come home late.

And then you die.

Now can you see just how boring, how cyclical, how repetitive life is?

The saddest part is that you only realise this somewhere when you're twelve, and not when you're like three years old, because back then, you didn't even realise how lucky you were.

I hope this is the last time I can emo this year, because I've promised myself at the beginning of this year that I wouldn't emo as much as I did last year. And if you're about to criticise me or anything, let me tell you this: I need to get the emo out of me, because people are really like balloons. If you pump too much air into them, they'll end up bursting all the same. Either that, or the balloons become so full yet they haven't burst, and so they wish terribly and fervently that one day, they will burst, that they can just reach out and hug that pin over there close to them, so that everything will be okay again.
