I can finally,finally take a breather.Exams are over (thank god). That's the good part.The bad part comes when the results come back,but that's a worry for another day.

So this weekend I've been doing nothing.Catching up on tv shows,reading,sleeping.I met up with Hanis and Moo yesterday.I've missed them like crazy and I forgot how much until I saw them.We got up to our usual - Moo and I nearly forgetting to get off at Simei, Moo with her attempt at doing the moonwalk (in public),making alot of noise,talking and giggling in the train.We went to eat at Eighteen Chefs,which Moo and Hanis dub the "gangster" place because it's run by ex-offenders,but we really like it.The atmosphere is really cool,the walls are colourfully decorated,the menus printed on the tables,the walls and doors filled with scribbles by patrons.And the food - tres bien!So when we were heading back,we passed the Starbucks outlet and there was a promotion going on - say a tongue twister in less than 10 seconds and you get a coupon for a free drink.So what the heck,I did it.I said it in 6 seconds and now I have a coupon for a free Caramel Jelly Frappe.

And if the day couldn't get better,I finally got Angus,Thongs and Perfect Snogging on DVD so I watched it in the night.It was brill.I love their accents!And okay,I get the obsession with Aaron Johnson.The buff body,the accent,the hair,the smile,the being-in-a-band angle - all fit causes for obsession.The obsession with Robert Pattinson?Yeah,I still don't get it.

Another thing I don't get? Why the rabbit sweets still aren't sold when the melamine scare has already died down.

"Of all the events which constitute a person's biography, there is scarcely one ... to which the world so easily reconciles itself as to his death."

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, The House of the Seven Gables

I've been fortunate so far in that no one close to me has died,so I don't know how it feels to lose someone you love.I have no idea what it'd be like when someone close to you has gone forever.The closest I've come thus,is when I found out about the death of Michael Jackson,a celebrity I've never met nor known personally but has made his presence in my life nevertheless.I'm not proclaiming to be a huge,utterly devoted fan because I'm not.But this is the guy whose songs,Thriller,Heal The World and his numerous other hits are the ones I grew up listening,whose videos I grew up watching.So it came as a complete shock when I learned of the news of his death.Disbelief,denial,shock - the different emotions I was gripped with.It took awhile for it to completely sink in and when it did,I was just overcome with sadness.This,coming from someone who appreciated his music but wasn't a huge fan.I cannot possibly imagine what his avid fans felt,are still feeling.Although I'm still overcome with a wave of sadness everytime I see tributes on the TV,I've come to terms with his death,because what else can you do?Now I have a greater appreciation for him,for the legend that he is.So here's to a great singer,the King of Pop.


RIP

This is really amusing,it's an explanation of hell by a Chemistry student.

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well : 

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. 

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. 

This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. 

So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God." 

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN 'A '

I nearly died twice today.(Maybe I'm just exaggerating but it's getting late and I'm tired so humour me)

I was getting ready for school in the morning and I'm not a morning person so I'm usually monosyllabic,if not quiet,because I'm still so sleepy.So I was standing in front of the mirror,combing my hair when suddenly something drops down beside me.Naturally I turn to look and lo and behold,it's a damn big-ass cockroach and my reaction was pretty slow seeing as my brain wasn't on full functional mode so early in the morning.I stare at it awhile then the fear kicks in and I run away,scared shitless.In the car,on the way to the train station,I'm still trying to get over the shock of it when suddenly this car appears on my side and hits us.Like I said,I wasn't even fully alert and awake,and so I was shaken to the core such that my hands were actually trembling.I got to school feeling so disoriented,still in a state of shock but it wore off eventually and I was perfectly fine again.

With the morning's events,I didn't think the last day of school was going to turn out great.But it became better.Our last period,Chemistry practical,was cancelled because our absolutely lovely teacher called in sick,meaning we finish extra early at 1135 instead at 1245.That immediately put us all in good spirits.So I started texting around,to see if anyone else finished early so we could catch a movie or just go out to eat.I wasn't in the mood to go home just yet and wanted to do something.But then one by one,texts came back in,everyone saying they finished late and I was disappointed.I was just about to resign myself to going home when Ain calls and says she's done with school and wanted to do something but had no one as well.I was immediately cheered and we made plans to catch Angels&Demons which is a superb movie in my opinion.I loved the book so I was dying to see how the movie version would turn out.It didn't disappoint.I won't spoilt it for anyone who hasn't watched it.Now I really want to go to Rome,the buildings are so beautiful.The part I absolutely didn't like was Tom Hanks in Speedos.Seriously,it should be banned.No guy should be allowed to wear Speedos,it's sick and wrong.If I were ruler of the world,getting rid of every piece of Speedo would be first on my priority list.

Happy Birthday Sha! I <3 you!

What I thought was going to be another waste of a weekend actually turned out to be pretty productive.I got some work done (note,emphasis on SOME).Today I went over to Gienne's house for our Project Work meeting.You know how meetings like this never turn out the way you want them to because no work actually gets done?It wasn't the case for us,we did do what was on the agenda for the day despite Annia's momentary bout of craziness when she saw Gienne's comic book/movie/book collections and when food was served or when a tennis match caught Jon and Gienne's attentions.I am so thankful for my group,I know some people have it really bad.I'm really content with mine because,as Annia puts it,we've got "good dynamics" and we work pretty well together,so thank god for that.

I think this week just isn't my week.I took a bus to get to Gienne's house,the very same service that I wrongly took to Kallang on Friday, and completely missed the stop to her house and ended up in Geylang.By that time,the route looked bloody familiar because I had already taken it on Friday.So in the end,I cabbed to Gienne's house because I was already late.Then in the evening,I went to the park to run and walking home,got covered in ash because there was some prayer burning going on.I'm allergic to dust and with all the ash and dust floating in the air,my nose got really itchy and I started sneezing uncontrollably.Now a fly's landed in my cup of water.oh lordy.

You know how it is when you're having one of those days - the one where everything seems to be working against you,the one where you feel like crawling under the covers and just staying there, the one that makes you want to cry/scream/kick up a fuss but you don't because you're too drained to do so?Today was one of those days.

It started out fine actually.Bio was pretty fun.Then we had Math and got a shelling from our CT which put most of us in a funk.We felt so stupid,worthless and unsure of ourselves and that's such a horrible thing to feel about yourself.And it just went downhill from there.It rained like a bitch in the later part of the afternoon,complete with thunder and lightning and I got pretty soaked.I was wet,cold,hungry and tired.I took the wrong bus and ended up in Kallang.Then my iPod died.I was so miserable and no one bloody replies to their messages anymore.

Bloody disaster of a day.

And I swear if one more person sings Wondergirls' Nobody, I am going to kill myself.

Jia Min and I have been singing the theme to Cow & Chicken non-stop lately.We were talking about shows we used to watch as kids and she reminded me of some that I have completely forgotten about.I liked TV when I was younger,now the shows are all full of garbage.Hannah Montana,seriously?!

School has been a whirlwind of activity.Long days,late nights,too long lectures.But it's been good so far.I am glad with where I am right now.

I put my iPod on shuffle earlier on and Chantal Kreviazuk's Feels Like Home came on.The first time I heard the song was on How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and I instantly loved it.Hearing it again today,I realized that if there was one song that I could pick to play at my wedding,it would be this one.

We got our new EZ-link cards today.Everyone started whining about how horrible they look in their pictures because the pictures on the cards are from primary school,which I find absolutely dumb.If something happens and your identity needs to be verified,how would it be confirmed when your picture shows you TEN YEARS AGO?This brings stupid to a whole new level.I like my card actually because I'm one of the lucky few to have my secondary school picture on the card,the reason being I've lost my EZ link card four times.So I suppose the picture of me in the database would be the most recent one.And the luck I have,I lost my old card again,a week before having to replace it,which means in the four years since I got my secondary EZ link card,I've lost it five times,I kid you not.Let's see how long it takes before I lose the one I have now.

I just finished reading Mark Haddon's A Spot of Bother and really liked it.It's a family drama - husband goes crazy,wife has an affair,son is gay,daughter is getting married.Yet the writer is able to brilliantly inject humour such that you just can't help but want to read more.I finished the book in three days,compared to Par's three months.I remember in A Math lessons last year,we'd sit at the back and she'd have the book under the table.I'll be staring aimlessly at the board or doodling in my notebook or on the off-chance,actually paying attention when Par would suddenly burst out laughing.I'd ask her if she'd completely lost it and she'll tell me it's the book that's funny.Having read the book,I understand why she laughed.It's not because she lost it.

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your blog and elaborate on the subjects given.

Zaff gave me these 5 things :  

1) Disco Mamas
Basically the disco mamas would be me,Zaff,Hanis and Moo.I can't remember who came up with this bloody silly name or when exactly it was born.Each one of us is a different mama - Zaff's Funky Mama, Moo's Foxy Mama, Hanis is Drama Mama and I'm Diva Mama.Again, I cannot remember who on earth came up with these names but it's been around so long that it's stuck and we now always refer to ourselves as disco mamas.

2) Amazing Race
I'm a huge Amazing Race aficionado.I haven't watched all the episodes of the international edition but I've watched all the ones from the Asian edition.Deannie's also a huge fan and we've already planned to sign up as soon as we're eligible,I kid you not.We've got our strategies planned out,right down to who will do what kind of tasks.She'll handle anything food-related because I really don't have the stomach to eat crap like duck embryo and I'll handle anything water-related because she's afraid of water.The Asian season usually airs in the later half of the year,on Thursdays.So during the episode,Deannie and I will text each other,discussing it and the next day when we meet in school,we're all high and talk Amazing Race some more.

3) Running
When I was younger,I really didn't like running.My dad on the other hand runs alot.So when he goes for his usual run at the park near my house,I started following him and I realized running wasn't so bad after all.I've actually come to love it and now even if my dad doesn't go running at the park,I do.

4) Love Actually
It all started 5 years ago,on the plane back from Perth.My primary school organised a trip there for six days and Zaff and I had gone together.Love Actually was one of the movies being played on the plane (we flew Singapore Airlines) and so a bunch of us,Zaff included,watched it.It happened to be Christmas season and we fell in love with the movie.Ever since,we've watched it every year during Christmas because Channel 5 always,always shows it.We'd text each other throughout the movie,quoting lines,swooning and squealing at certain parts.We know most of the lines by heart now.

5) Grey's Anatomy
I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy when it first aired.In fact I didn't start watching it until last year.I watched the first season online and then I went to China last year and got the rest of the seasons on DVD and watched them during the holidays.I'm still on season 4 but I absolutely love the show.I love how intense it can get,how certain situations make you think about what you'd do if you were in that exact position,the emotions it can stir in you.One episode made me cry like a baby and there were a few others that brought me close to tears.And of course,I absolutely adore the characters.It's hard to rate them in order but my favourite has got to be Alex Karev.He's reason enough to make you a Grey's addict.

It all started two years ago when I decided to play a prank on April Fool's.When I got back from school day before April 1st,I told my classmates I had dengue and wasn't going to school the next day.I planned to show up in school on April Fool's and say it was all a prank.Then I really fell sick,not with dengue of course.So when I didn't turn up for school the next day,everyone thought I really had dengue.I remember Sharifah texted me to ask which hospital I was in because she wanted to go visit.I told them then that it was all a joke and I think I've been in for it ever since.A year later,April Fool's last year,I had food poisoning after eating a pineapple tart that had gone bad.I was down for 5 days.And now,I've recently recovered from another bout of food poisoning after eating nasi lemak which had also gone bad.All because of my stupid big mouth.God knows,I'll probably really get dengue next year.If I'm lucky,maybe SARS.

Friday, I was walking around Parkway,getting errands done.I had my iPod on shuffle and Ryan Cabrera's I Will Remember You comes on.I stop when I listen to it because the song so aptly desribes how I feel with Zaff moving away and I start tearing up,right there in the shopping centre.I was already feeling a little down after school and then listening to that song made me feel even worse,like suddenly everything in the world was just so wrong.I wanted to brood and be miserable so I put the song on replay and I kept tearing up the whole journey home.In the train I had to constantly swipe my eyes so my tears wouldn't spill over.I've never listened to a song till it made me cry.I know of people who cry when they listen to certain songs but I've always thought that silly.It's just a song,how can you cry over it?Now I know.Sometimes you find a song that somehow,miraculously fits perfectly with what you're feeling or going through and that makes you relate to it even better.I can't think of how else to explain how I could cry,listening to that song.Every time I listen to the song now, I feel sad.It's so apt,I couldn't have put the words better myself.



8 years later
Time goes by fast
Got my memories
And they will last
I try to keep it simple
Cause I hate goodbyes
And I try to keep it simple
By telling myself that
I will remember you

First week of school's done.Orientation was really fun.That comes as a shocker because I don't like orientation.The whole playing silly games with people you don't know and trying to remember their names when you know you'll forget them 5 minutes later to me is just stupid.I went in already set against orientation.But over the past few days,I changed my mind.The games we played,cheers and dances we learnt,the people in my group and that I met were awesome.I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually miss orientation,it sucks that it's over.It did end on a high note,with the mass dance at Suntec's Fountain of Wealth which was superbly fun.I came back home with a tan (from the sea carnival earlier on in the day) and with a voice so hoarse,it could rival a guy's.But it was all worth it and I dare say that if I had to do it again,I totally would.There's an orientation barbecue coming Friday,which I'm looking forward to.I absolutely adore my orientation group.You have to be in it to know what I mean.

Posting results were yesterday.We were told we'd know our results at 8 in the morning.Instead at 6.17AM,I am rudely awakened by the ring of my phone (I sleep with my phone under my pillow),with a text from MOE saying that I got into VJC,Science stream.Seconds later,more texts come pouring in with my friends asking where I'd gotten posted and my phone kept ringing non-stop.I replied them all and then switched my phone to silent mode and went back to sleep.If I was going to be jolted awake at 6 in the freaking morning,I'd appreciate some beforehand notice.I don't get why people can't stick to their words.8AM means 8AM,jeez.Anyhoo,it doesn't matter anymore because I did get into the school and stream I wanted so I'm glad.As of Monday,I'll officially be a student of Victoria Junior College!Deannie got in as well,but she's in the Arts stream.Come Monday,we'll take the bus to school together,like we used to in Sec 1 when we both took the school bus and would sit beside each other and yak all the way to school.More decisions have to be made,I still need to decide on my subject combination and the CCA I'd like to join.Deannie and I have already decided which ones we'd like to try out for.More of that next week.

As for right now,I'm going to watch the latest episode of Lost.

"Your wedding's gonna be huge, just like your ass at prom." - Emma (Anne Hathaway) to Liz (Kate Hudson), Bride Wars

I watched Bride Wars today and loved it.I love both the leading actresses,Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson,and of course I love weddings.The movie was so comical it had Par,Ain and I in constant bouts of laughter.I'm such a sucker for feel-good movies with happy endings.The movie also starred Bryan Greenburg (Jake from One Tree Hill) who plays Kate Hudson's brother.The three of us kept swooning and,I'm ashamed to admit,squealing,every time he came on screen.There's no better way for a chick-flick to be appreciated than to watch it  with a couple of girl friends,where you can squeal together,predict/discuss the movie,laugh together,squeeze each other's hands during the sweetest parts.It could actually be considered a girl bonding thing.We really need more chick-flicks in the theatres.

I'm officially 17 now.It still needs a little getting used to,sometimes I even have to remind myself I'm actually 17.Seventeen even has a nice ring to it.Seventeen seventeen seventeen!

I cut my hair,again.I have this thing where I almost always get my hair cut when I'm bored and have nothing to do.I'm a loser like that.This time,unlike the last,I'm happy with my cut.

I was supposed to go to Escape yesterday with Nani, Andik, Aashi and Sharifah but it was closed.It took all of us by surprise and we were pretty disappointed because we were actually looking forward to it.Instead we watched Changeling,which is a really good movie.It's the kind of movie that stays with you long after you've finished watching it.Some parts were so horrifying and sad,it can make you cry.I know Sharifah did!Angelina Jolie,as always,was amazing in the movie.I loved it,haven't watched a good movie as Changeling in a long time.Go watch it if you haven't already.

Class barbecue is tomorrow at Pasir Ris Park (oh so very convenient for me!).I think everyone's psyched about it as I am.I can't believe how terribly much I miss my class.Tomorrow will remedy that,thankfully.The barbecue was initially Fifah's idea.She asked if I wanted to celebrate my birthday with hers,since we're born a day apart,hers on the 24th and mine on the 25th.We decided to make it a class gathering and celebrate the birthdays of the other two January babies as well,Goh Shuyin and Xiao Qi.So yes,I can't wait for tomorrow.

Decisions decisions decisions.

These past few days,that's all I've been making.Results are out and I am happy with mine, a little shocked as well because I never expected to get an A-freaking-1 for Higher Malay.I would have been content to just PASS because Malay is not my forte and not my favourite subject.You can ask me personally what I got if you really want to know.

After much thinking,deliberation,weighing of options,I've finally made my school choices and submitted the application only just.Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope I do get into the school i picked.

I really do hate making decisions.I can't decide to watch Prisonbreak or Grey's Anatomy.

Two nights ago,I watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy's season 2.And I cried.I cried like a baby.In the episode,Denny Duquette,a heart transplant patient dies.Sure someone always dies in most TV shows but you just had to have been following the show and it was so so sad that I started sobbing.Then my tears wouldn't stop and I was still crying 10 minutes after the episode finished.I don't cry easily.I didn't cry on graduation day in primary school.I didn't cry on graduation day in secondary school even though nearly all my friends did.I cry over the silliest things.I read Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper and cried,the two times I read it.I watched an episode of Ghost Whisperer and cried.I cry over fictional things - movies,books yet I don't cry over the real things,things that happen in real life,not most of the time anyway.I think there must be something wrong with the wiring in my brain.

Catching up on Grey's,it's now become my favourite TV show.I love the medical bits,the emotional bits,the relationships between the characters.The issues brought up in the show sometimes get you thinking,what would you do if you were in that position?And then it makes me re-look certain things in my life.Like Mega says,you can connect with the show.The competition among the interns and surgeons reminds you of school and life in general.And watching the show makes me really want to be a doctor so I can help people,do something useful with my life.And of course,one of the reasons I love Grey's alot - Alex Karev.All the characters are so likeable but Karev is my favourite.



Yes I love Grey's Anatomy.

This would be my last post of the year.

Here we are again,at the brink of a new year yet I don't feel it.I think it's because I'm not going back to school this Friday so I don't have the I-don't-want-to-go-back-to-school she-bang going on.Starting school again after a 2 month break is a good way to remind you the previous year is over.

2008 wasn't as smooth-sailing as 2007,a year which I really loved.Nevertheless,this year does have its share of good memories.I found the most amazing friends all of whom played a part in making every day of this year,no matter how hard at times,worth living and all of whom I know I will always be friends with.There were the dark days too,sometimes I didn't even know if I'd see the light again but the people I love - family and friends, were always there.I know I'm getting sappy but I can't help it,the end of the year always makes me feel this way,makes me think about all the things I loved about the year and the things I didn't.Things I wished I'd done,things I wished I hadn't done.But it doesn't matter because the year's ending.All I can do now is try my best to make the coming year not a good one,but one better than the last,try not to make the same mistakes,grab the opportunities I previously missed,make every day worth living.

This new year will be different for me,because for once,I have no idea what's in store.I don't know which school I'm going to end up in,who I'll be with but what I do know is no matter what the future holds for us,we'll have each other and we'll face whatever life throws our way together,just like we've always done,just like we'll always do.

So here's to a year better than this,to making it memorable and to making every day count.

Happy New Year,muchachos.

I got back 3 days ago and have been happily soaking up the sun.The trip was good and the post is still in the works because I've yet to upload the photos.I have yet to do the graduation post as well.All in good time,no worries.

Lately there have been so many movies I want to catch - Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Angus,Thongs & Perfect Snogging, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Australia, Twilight.I watched Twilight 2 weeks ago,which I must say is very disappointing.I honestly think it was not worth all the hype it got.I don't get what the fascination millions of girls have with lead character Robert Pattinson who plays Edward,he didn't even play Edward well.(Don't worry,no spoilers) I still think Gaspard Ulliel would have made a better Edward.Edward's supposed to be this really good looking vampire and although Robert Pattinson was good looking as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter,he was not cut out for Edward's role because he's not that good looking.Rosalie and Jasper,played by Nikki Reed and Jackson Rathbone respectively, were poor portrayals of the characters in the books.Rosalie's supposed to be absolutely gorgeous but in the movie,Kristen Stewart as Bella was alot more good looking the whole time.Jasper's role was weird and unfathomable.The saving graces were Kristen Stewart and Cam Gigandet (as bad guy,James) .I've read all the books in this vampire series and this movie did not live up to the first one.It merely skimmed through the story.A newspaper review said there weren't enough scenes in the movie to show the love between Bella and Edward grow.I couldn't agree more.One minute,he tells her to stay away from him and the next,they're kissing.There weren't enough scenes to show the chemistry developing between them.Of course no movie can ever live up to the book it was adapted from but this is one of those movies where you have to read the book to fully understand what is going on in the movie.I never read the Harry Potter series but could understand the movies.Twilight isn't the case because the movie just basically skimmed through the book.It is just not possible to squeeze a 400-over page book into a less than 2-hour movie.I was just waiting for the movie to finish.To sum it up,I didn't really like the movie.Hopefully the second one would be better since the director's different.

I caught The Day The Earth Stood Still today.My reason for catching the movie had nothing to do with my ongoing love affair with Keanu Reeves.Oh who am I kidding,it had everything to do with him.The movie wasn't awesome like Speed was,it was pretty okay though I hated the ending because it was so abrupt.You really have to hand it to Keanu Reeves for his acting.He plays an alien and aliens are supposed to be unemotional aren't they and he was just totally devoid of emotion the entire duration of the film.I could never do that,but then again,I'm no actor.

I'm watching Yes Man with Sha and Nadia tomorrow.I want to watch Australia because I really really really hate (read : ABSOLUTELY HATE) stupid Jim Carrey but I'm outvoted.Angus,Thongs & Perfect Snogging I'll watch with Hanis.How come there are suddenly so many good movies all of a sudden?Not forgetting the million DVDs I got from China with the Prisonbreak, Heroes, One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy series among them.I'm gonna be pretty occupied for the one month I have left.You can never get sick of TV.
