mathangi!! she's really on a permanent suger-high!! everywhere she goes, she cheers. EVEN BY HERSELF. haha.
::who say?::
::you say, i say::
::who say?::
::you say, i say::

then tai ming came up with a really lame one.
::who say?::
::you zap, i gallop:: -.-

really had lots of laughs during orientation.

but one thing. no offence but, i have to get this off my chest. i'll come straight to the point - THE BAND SUCKS! BRING BACK ETERNAL LOOP!! not that i would have the guts to go up and perform, but really? can't they choose someone better? (and note to the vocalist: your ear stud doesn't make you any cooler. not that you are cool in the first place.)

but all in all, everything was wonderful. jaguar was so hyper during the finale!! everyone was just screaming and cheering and shouting! especially toylyn, whose shriek almost went into ultrasound. and dancing in the rain, that was a first i suppose. it's quite fun la.. although potentially dangerous to those whose immune systems are weaker than others.

sigh. back to homework and mugging and lectures and tutorials. PRELIMS IN 8 MONTHS!! ahh.. *panics* have to start working hard now!!

right to left

2007-01-01T17:55:00.000+08:00

i have a few questions for you:

?left to right from read humans can't why

.that just do to effort of amount equal almost an takes it

.left the from starts cursor blinking the because just that's but ,left to right from type to trying hard it's

ok, moment of randomness over.

happy new year!

2007-01-01T17:52:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

may you have a fulfilling 365 days ahead!

thanks to those who have wished me (e.g. aggie & val)

yippee! let's brave the year 2007 together! (a levels. duh duh duh...)

i didn't bother to make any resolutions - never have and never will. i won't keep them anyways. =D

2006 really passed by with a mach 8-woosh. last year was really the fastest year ever. i still remember all the 1st 3 months subject talks in aj. and i still have to endure them during orientation 2007! =X maybe, i mean, DEFINITELY, this year will be even more rapid, what with a levels and all.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days of auld lang syne

And here's a hand, my trusty friend

And gie's a hand o' thine

We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne

xmas

2006-12-25T12:23:00.000+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

well, yesterday (christmas eve), there was a small party at my grandma's, complete with a lucky draw. my family won the most =) - 5 out of 19 prizes, including the 1st prize. (there were 10 families altogether.)

and i saw my fave cousins again for after goodness-knows-how-long. patricia then asked peiching and i to go orchard with her friends to catch a midnight movie. i wanted to go, and peiching was fine with it, but i didn't think i could convince my mum. but with the help of my uncles and aunties, my mum reluctantly granted me her permission (yay!). so off we went to orchard at 10pm.

OF COURSE it was crowded. christmas eve at orchard road wouldn't be christmas eve at orchard road if the streets weren't packed with people spraying all sorts of stuff from cans at passers-by. luckily, we weren't one of the victims. and after 20 min of squeezing and pushing and shoving and jostling, we finally reached shaw house. phew. it was so quiet up the escalator to lido; such a contrast to the scene outside the mall. anyway, we watched night at the museum. i didn't expect much, because it was given 3 stars i think. but it was damn FARNIE. if you have a sense of humour, i suggest you go catch it. really. do not pass up the opportunity. school starts next week!! also, i saw mark lee and his wife entering the same theatre as us. since no one was screaming his name and rushing up to him, of course we didn't ask him for an autograph or a pic. it would be so embarrasssing.

on another matter, i think our sl project on the 22nd is a success considering what we had to go through. although cute at first sight, the kids were a terror! ok, only a handful of them were really disagreeable. my group was the best, all of them listened to instructions and were willing to participate in the games. well, only one of them had an ego as big as the size of the pacific ocean? atlantic ocean? whatever. i think you get the picture (right?). he was an eleven-year-old boy. figures.

i really empathise with xinli and boon siong. you were really brave guys!! to endure all the pulling and scratching from the kids. especially xinli, with a plastic bag over her head. i think she almost suffocated.

well, congrats to 18/06 for pulling this sl project off! yay! cya guys next year!!

hp7

2006-12-21T22:45:00.000+08:00

and the title of the next and last hp book is...

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!

last week

2006-12-18T22:11:00.002+08:00

okok, so i know i haven't updated for quite a while. (quite a while meaning almost 2 weeks.)

and since i couldn't possibly recall EVERYTHING that happened in the past (approx.) 12 days, i shall try to just sum last week.

12/12: hmm.. i can't seem to remember anything on this day.

13/12: went to vivocity with some classmates to discuss about our sl project. haha. boon siong's gonna get KIDNAPPED! duh duh duh. then litian, xinli and i went to bugis to watch the holiday. it was ok, i guess. i warned litian it's gonna be a chick flick, but it didn't stop him from going out of the theatre halfway through the movie. hah. jack black is so amusing!! "accidental boob graze!" priceless! cameron diaz just looks old to me, not that she's that old, but her skin looks all shrivelled and wrinkled and tired.

14/12: lincoln and jun qin came over. and i was introduced to the "wonderful" (note the sarcasm) world of flyff. i have never been so addicted to a computer game since the craze over neopets. anyway, i'm currently at level 30 already, but i don't intend to play as intensely as i did the past few days. i'm starting to get sick of it.

15/12: went to the bird park. i'm lazy to post pics of the birds. to me, they all look kinda alike. haha. in the lory loft, vanessa went to feed the lories and one of them jumped onto her arm. she screamed and dropped the food. -.- haha. lincoln got his wish when one of the birds did the same to him. (he wanted to touch them.) the prettiest bird is of course the SNOWY OWL. (hedwig, anyone?)
valerie's off to EGYPT for 10 days!!! ack, so jealous. she gets to see the pyramids, the spinx and the nile!!

16/12: someone came to install the wireless modem. AND MY WIRELESS WAS REPAIRED! rejoice. and mostly played flyff the whole day. i have no life.

17/12: lincoln's bday today. i wanted to buy a container of haagen daz ice-cream for him, but didn't have enough time to do so. buying ice-cream as present is difficult! you have to make sure it doesn't melt when you give it to the person, otherwise it would be downright embarrassing. well, brought my laptop to his house for three-guesses-what.

today's my dad's birthday. went to cineleisure at 8.30 am cos there was a celebration of tengah airbase's 35th anniversary. the people did sing my dad a bday song. and then with the airbase people, we went to watch eragon. hah. ed speelers looked kinda weird in some angles. the movie's like
30% harry potter: eragon the 'chosen one' VS harry potter the 'chosen one', the fate of the world rests in a young boy's hands;
50% lotr: the battle scenes, saphira kinda reminded me of nazgul, the aerial shots of the actors riding across mountains;
20% eragon: the cast and plot are different
anyway. i haven't read the book yet, but i still understood the plot. can't say the same for some harry potter movies though, even though i have already read the books. i can totally empathise with those movie-goers who are non-harry potter readers. hope ootp will be fab. went to ikea too in hope of buying a light for the study, but ended up purchasing 3 swivel chairs instead.

zoo trip

2006-12-06T18:18:00.000+08:00

wow. almost 8 hours spent at the singapore zoo. (make the most of the money spent. typical singaporean.) it was like being a kid all over again.

"I WANNA SEE THE WHITE TIGERS AGAIN!"

"ahh.. KANGAROOS!!"

"awww.. those PENGUINS are so cute!"

ok. i shall not get carried away.

"EEK! COCKROACHES!"

anyway.

my sister (vanessa) was chosen as a volunteer to play frisbee with a sealion named stan in the 10.30 am wonders of the wild show. when the presenter asked her where she's from, she replied, "choa chu kang." damn funny! haha. at least the presenter rescued her by saying, "oh, singapore!"

here are some pictures from the zoo!

entrance

llama

camel

white rhino

zebras

giraffe

puma

(i've just realised that i didn't see any panthers.. although there's a jaguar but i couldn't get a good picture of it. and according to the sg zoo website, pumas are also known as cougars. interesting.)

komodo dragon

penguin!

pelican

well, the trip wasn't anything special.. just visited the same old places:
cameron highlands: strawberry farms, butterfly parks, bee farms and tea plantations
genting highlands: indoor and outdoor theme parks (my sister made me ride on the ferris wheel with her. TWICE. i almost fell asleep on the 2nd time.)

PICTURES!!

my mum and i at the entrance of one of the many strawberry farms.

vanessa among rows of strawberry runners.

this reminds me of harry potter. *tries to speak parseltongue*

a gecko in the butterfly farm.

(it beats me why a gecko is in a butterfly farm.)

pretty butterfly!

isn't the scenery just gorgeous?

group photo at the summit of a plot of plantation.

the phonebooth at the smokehouse hotel. apparently, i took a picture there when i was 7, and my mum wanted me to take this one just so she could have a comparison between 7 and 17.

nice birdie!

vanessa and i on the astro flyer. (not my request!!)

me waiting for my dad and sis to be done with their boat ride.

2006-11-23T11:45:00.000+08:00

something LOADS better than the hp5 teaser trailer:

http://www.hpana.com/news.19673.html

this makes me wonder.. if we're getting this kinda stuff 8 months before the movie, what will be circulated around the net say, a month before the movie hits cinemas? the whole movie itself?

happy feet

2006-11-23T11:22:00.000+08:00

you know, over in the uk and usa, people (specifically harry potter fans) are flocking to cinemas to watch happy feet. why? not because of the penguins, but because of the ootp teaser trailer shown before the happy feet movie starts. that's how fanatical these fans are.

speaking of the penguins in happy feet, imagine my amusement when i read 8 days yesterday and found out that mumble happy feet is voiced by elijah wood (frodo in lotr) and some chief penguin is voiced by hugo weaving (elrond in lotr). i couldn't stop giggling at the casting. it's like, i can imagine elijah wood saying, "yo elrond, how's it going?" haha. and then, i remembered back in sec 4, miss lai once played fotr in the ava room. and when elrond came on screen, the girls could hear some guffaws at the back from the guys. because they found it funny that agent smith is elrond. and i started giggling again.

ok, i think i'm just more easily amused than normal people.

banner painting!

2006-11-21T12:34:00.000+08:00

banner-painting yesterday! so fun!

yide, the art master in our class, drew santy claus and all the reindeers. he did such a good job! and then with only 3 colours (red, white and brown), we started painting. we tried to mix the colours to see what else we could come up with, and voila! pink antlers (NOT HORNS!) for the reindeers. haha so cute!

then, aga and xinli started a mini paint war. sighs. as usual. i dunno what happened, but suddenly xinli launched her paintbrush (with red paint) like a screwed up missile onto aga and the tip landed on her neck.

nellyn and i persuaded aga to pose for this picture. doesn't it look like an oversized hickey? =D

xinli being gay as usual. poor ying ting.

xinli and ying ting pigging out! so loving... haha.

being bored, i dipped my finger into red paint and started writing on the nearest piece of newspaper.

haha. looks kinda freaky.

val, aga, fitrah and i left at around 4 to go watch step up. (we feel so guilty! but not guilty enough to make us stay. =X) the movie's kinda plotless, well okay, the main idea was "to fight for what you want". but the sizzle of the show were the DANCE MOVES. omg. the lead actress' bod is so damn hot! SO ENVIOUS. haha.

and hence, this started my.. err.. interest in movies that involve dancing. so, i rented take the lead on my way home. (ps/ anyone who has save the last dance, PLEASE LEND IT TO ME!) haha. antonio banderas is so charming!

the princess who became a goose girl

2006-11-18T21:29:00.000+08:00

my favourite childhood story...

THE PRINCESS WHO BECAME A GOOSE GIRL

She journeyed to a distant land,

In wedlock there to give her hand,

But though a Royal princess she,

A humble serf was doomed to be.

At long last the day had come, and the old queen was very sad. Today she must part with her beloved daughter for ever. Years ago, before the old king died, the baby Princess Leda had been promised in marriage to Prince Jolion, youngest son of the king of a distant kingdom.

So today, Princess Leda must go join her betrothed, and the old queen knew that she was going to be very lonely. When the time came for the parting, she opened a silver casket, and took from it her most precious possession - an enchanted handkerchief - to give to Princess Leda.

"Take it, dearest Leda, and keep it with you always. As long as you have this handkerchief, it will protect you from all harm."

But as she spoke, the old queen wept bitterly, and her tears fell upon the handkerchief, and such was the power of this tiny square of white gossamer, that as they touched it, they turned into spots of blood.

The princess embraced her mother tenderly, and then bid her farewell. Mounted upon her favourite horse, Falada, she set out upon her long journey, with only a lady-in-waiting named Clora to attend her.

Clora was a tall, strong, red-headed girl, who could ride a horse and shoot with a bow almost as well as any man, and was very capable of looking after the little, golden-haired princess. But what neither the queen nor Princess Leda knew was that behind her smiling face, Clora was cunning and wicked.

For the first day of the journey, all went well, and Clora looked after her royal mistress in the proper manner. But on the second day, she began to change. When they came to a clear, sparkling stream, the princess said, "I would so like a drink of water. Would you get me one, please, Clora?" Clora just smiled sweetly, and said, very politely, "I think you can get it for yourself, Princess."

Princess Leda, who was a gentle soul, would not quarrel with anyone, quite happily jumped down from her horse, and stooped to drink at the waterside, and her horse, Falada, did so too.

She was rather startled when the enchanted handkerchief, which she had tucked into her bodice, spoke to her.

"If this moment she could see,
sad would the queen, your mother, be."

At this moment, Clora came up behind the princess, and heard the voice of the handkerchief. She reached out, snatched the square of white gossamer from Leda's bodice.

"Now the handkerchief is mine - you no longer have its power to protect you!" she cried, waving it out of Leda's reach. "Give it back to me, Clora - please!" cried the princess, terrified at the change which had come over her lady-in-waiting. But Clora only laughed. "Indeed I will not, my fine puss - " but that was as far as she got, for she had reckoned without Falada. The faithful horse snatched the enchanted handkerchief with his teeth and galloped off.

By the time Clora had caught him, there was no sign of the handkerchief. As a matter of fact, Falada had swallowed it, though neither Clora nor the princess knew this.

"Now, my pretty!" sneered Clora, "neither you nor I has the magic handkerchief, which makes me better than you - for I am bigger and stronger. So I intend to marry your Prince Jolion, Princess. Since he has never seen you, and I, as a lady-in-waiting, am of noble birth, he will not know that I am not the Princess Leda!"

The poor princess was terrified, for suddenly Clora looked big, and ugly, and she was drawing a sharp hunting knife from her girdle.

"Now I will kill you - and the wolves can eat your body!" she snarled, "unless you give me your royal word to say nothing of this to a living soul - and to do just as I command you!"

Poor Leda was far from home, and with no one to help her. She did not want to die, and so she gave Clora her word, and the evil girl put her knife away.

"Very well. I will spare your life. And now you will be my handmaiden, and obey my orders. Give me your ermine mantle, and your jewels, and your royal diadem. You can keep your other things - they're too small for me anyway. Now, move yourself, my girl - I cannot wait to meet my bridegroom!"

And so, when they arrived at the court of Prince Jolion's father, Clora was treated as the Princess, and her little handmaiden was ignored.

"Prehaps your majesty would find some work for her," said Clora to the king, "She is an idle little thing - not really fit to be a handmaiden of a Princess."

And so Leda became a goose-girl. Her task was to aid the goose-boy, Conrad, in looking after the royal geese. It seemed to Leda that the only creature who treated her as herself, and was her friend, was her faithful horse, Falada.

And then Clora, whose evil spite knew no bounds, got wind of this, and had the poor horse killed. Even that did not satisfy her wicked desire to hurt poor Leda, so she had Falada's head cut off, and hung over the top of a gateway through which, every day, the true princess would have to drive her geese on the way to the pasture where they pecked.

When Leda saw the head of poor Falada nailed up over the gateway, she wept. "Oh Falada - my faithful Falada! Who has done this terrible thing?" To her astonishment, the head replied, for the power of the magic handkerchief was working in it.

"Your plight, Princess,
is past belief -
'Twould break your mother's
heart with grief.
Keep your word,
What e'er the cost,
Break your word,
and all is lost!"

Before Leda could ask the head the meaning of these strange words, Conrad came along driving the geese, and she had to go with him to the pasture.

As the day wore on, and Leda sat watching the geese, she unbraided her golden hair, and sat combing it, and singing a sweet and sad little song. Conrad watched her, and remembered the strange happening at the gateway. He was a simple, honest lad, and he didn't know what to make of it all, so that evening, when the geese were safely in their pen, he went to see the king, who was taking a stroll in his garden. The king was a kindly old gentleman, and he listened to his strange story of the goose-girl talking to the horse's head, and of her beauty. At once the wise old king saw that something very strange was going on, and so, the next morning, he summoned the goose-girl to him, and asked what it all meant.

Leda hung her head, and said, "Alas, your majesty, there is nothing I can say to answer your kind questions. I have promised to say nothing of what I know to a living soul, and I will not break my word."

"It is right that promises should be kept," declared the king, "but if you can say nothing to a living soul, perhaps you could tell your troubles to the wishing well in the royal garden. Who knows? Perhaps it might even help..."

The goose-girl princess wanted so much to tell the secret of her plight to someone. And so, she thanked the king for his kind concern, and went back to help Conrad mind his geese. But that evening, when her work was done, she went to the well, and told it all her troubles - how Clora had taken her place, and of the promise that had been forced from her. After she had poured out her woes in this way, she felt much better, even though no sound or sign came to her from the well. What she did not know that in the stone wall of the well, just out of sight, was the mouth of a big earthenware pipe, and that this pipe led under the ground to the king's summer-house.

The king had heard every word she said! That wishing well was his own idea, which enabled him to help a lot of people without them ever knowing how he got to know of their secret troubles.

So the next morning Princess Leda found herself taken into the care of the ladies of the court. They dressed her in royal robes, and when the time came for the king to announce the marriage of his youngest son, it was her hand that he took and pressed into his. The prince fell in love with her on the spot, and was overjoyed to be betrothed to so lovely and gentle a maiden.

As for the wicked Clora, she fainted with fright, when she knew that her evil schemes had been discovered, but she was saved from dire punishment when Princess Leda begged for mercy on her behalf. She was, however, banished from the land, and never heard of again, and Leda herself always hoped that she had learned her lesson, and would become a better and happier person.

THE END

i was like, shut up, gary!

then three of us ate lunch at kfc.

the guys went, "ahh, good food at last!" before tucking into their chickens.

most of the time, i kept quiet while they rambled on about obs - kayaking, campsites, trekking, tentmates, and god knows what else. then when lincoln started to eat the coleslaw, he said, "i feel weird using a spoon to eat." then he put down his spoon and pretended to eat it without using any utensils. next, he looked down at the coleslaw and sighed, "i feel weird eating food without some ants crawling in it. can find some ants and put them in?" gary was laughing and laughing. i managed a small, freaked-out kinda grin.

lincoln termed obs as outward barbarian in singapore. that, maybe i agree. for guys, that is.

gary was saying, "when i go home, i'll tell my mum that i wanna quit school and go live in pulau ubin."
lincoln: "you mother disown you ah. later she say 'get out of the house!' and then you have to wear your dirty laundry from the camp again. then you really become barbarian."
gary, as usual, laughed like crazy. i, as usual, managed a small, freaked-out kinda grin.

val wasn't kidding when she warned me that everyone from obs will become obs-sick ranging from a few days to FOREVER when they return to civilisation.

a sign of being absolutely bored stiff: trawling the net aimlessly and hitting upon a website containing some amusing (a.k.a. DUMB) quotes and stories.

from www.amusingfacts.com:

A Florida man, who robbed two men at gunpoint in their homes, dropped his wallet as he left and then called police to ask if they found the wallet. They said they did. They asked him to come down and claim it. He did.

In Ohio, an unidentified man in his late twenties walked into a police station with a 9-inch wire protruding from his forehead and calmly asked officers to give him an X-ray to help him find his brain, which he claimed had been stolen. Police were shocked to learn that the man had drilled a 6-inch deep hole in his skull with a Black & Decker power drill and had stuck the wire in to try and find the missing brain.

Drug Possession Defendant Christopher Jansen, on trial in March in Pontiac, Michigan, said he had been searched without a warrant. The prosecutor said the officer didn't need a warrant because a "bulge" in Christopher's jacket could have been a gun.
"Nonsense," said Christopher, who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day in court. He handed it over so the judge could see it. The judge discovered a packet of cocaine in the pocket and laughed so hard he required a five minute recess to compose himself.

A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor asked.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!"

Fire investigators on Maui have determined the cause of a blaze that destroyed a $127,000 home last month - a short in the homeowner's newly installed fire prevention alarm system. "This is even worse than last year, " said the distraught homeowner, "when someone broke in and stole my new security system..."

From Detroit: A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

"We are unable to announce the weather. We depend on weather reports from the airport, which is closed, due to weather. Whether we will be able to give you a weather report tomorrow will depend on the weather."
- Arab News report

"You guys line up alphabetically by height."
- Bill Peterson, Florida State football coach

"Please do not feed the animals. If you have any suitable food, give it to the guard on duty."
- Budapest Zoo sign

"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt."
- Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice.

"The doctors X-rayed my head and found nothing."
- Dizzy Dean explaining how he felt after being hit on the head by a ball in the 1934 World Series.

"I say no to drugs, but they don't listen."
- Marilyn Manson, singer

"Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life."
- Brooke Shields, during an interview to become spokesperson for a federal anti-smoking campaign.

Fiction writing is great, you can make up almost anything."
- Ivana Trump, on finishing her first novel

stupid meeting

2006-11-17T11:01:00.000+08:00

what the hell. kenneth choo didn't inform peishan and i that the synapse meeting is postponed to next monday until i've reached yio chu kang. and here i am, in the library, bored out of my wits. at least i brought one piece of homework to do. anyway, i've to wait at college for lincoln to come back from obs today. hoho.

ps/ all the quizzes are officially gone!

mint choc-chip

2006-11-16T21:32:00.000+08:00

i'm now craving for mint choc-chip ice cream, after discussing favourite ice cream flavours with jun qin. *drools*

on a side note, it seems that mint choc-chip is the favourite ice cream flavour of emma watson (actress who plays hermione granger). she gave a speech at oxford university a few days ago and someone asked her what's her favourite ice cream flavour. haha. we have something in common, then.

bio olympiad

2006-11-16T19:27:00.000+08:00

whew. what a day.

had to go to ntu for bio olympiad. i met the rest of the people at boon lay mrt control station at 12. of course, some of them were late and so we left at around 12.20. we had to take bus 199 to reach ntu and so we headed to the bus interchange to search for its berth. what we saw made us almost call a taxi. there was a queue for a bus and it was damn LOONGGGG!! it was like the hello kitty craze all over again. but dunno for what reason, we didn't go to the back of the line; we walked towards where the queue started. and walked. and walked. and i said i would prefer to take a taxi. stella, shu yi and zhi wen didn't mind. BUT THEN, we found out that the LOONGGGG queue didn't belong to bus 199, it was for 179. PHEWWWW. i asked luke to estimate the length of the queue. i thought it was between 1 to 2 km. kinda close: luke thinks it's about 1.7 km. THIS IS NOT EXAGGERATED. it turned out that 179 also went to ntu, but it's a more popular bus than 199. hmmm.

upon reaching our destination, we ooh-ed and ahh-ed at the many tennis courts and basketball courts and squash courts and table tennis courts. (if you believe that there're table tennis courts, then obviously, you're not awake yet.) and of course, the olympic-sized pool. and we found out that we were actually in nie, and not ntu. anyway, we didn't have a clue to where the examination place was, but benson seemed to know his stuff, and so the whole gang followed him. even some sajc people did. haha. but it appeared that we were just stalking this girl from hci who was in front of us. but it was not la. benson really did know the way.

we put our bags in this room called the baggage room. (sounds like an airplane, huh?) then we stood around waiting for the invigilators to call us into the hall. (actually, it was the gymnasium.) then someone unexpectedly tapped me on the shoulder. GUESS WHO IT WAS?? haha. TAN ZHI MING. my primary and secondary school classmate. i was like, stunned for a moment. and he said, "wah, you so pro ah?" i thought he was praising himself indirectly. he's that kind of crappy person. =D so i said, "you also ma!" he replied, "aiya, tyco one la," in that typical zhi ming way. he looks exactly the same - from the way he talks to his unique hairstyle. haha. brought back old memories.

the whole place was teeming with students from all the jcs - hci, rjc, njc, acjc, rjc, cjc.. seeing all the intimidating brainiacs (i.e. hci and rjc) made us feel inferior. then we spent some time differentiating the various jcs by their uniforms. it was no easy feat, you know. so many of them share the same uniform colour., albeit different shades. "is that hci?" "no! that's nyjc!" by the time we were through, i came to a very comforting conclusion. ajc's uniform is really unique, in the sense that anyone who sees it would not confuse it with another college. so, yeah.

so, this old guy came into the room and told us to enter the hall. "and if you have a jacket, best to bring it in too." what the heck. i totally forgot about a jacket. I WILL FREEZE INSIDE. and i wasn't wrong. IT WAS SO FREAKING COLD!! and it was 200 mcq in 4 hours. 4 hours in a place fit for the inhabitation of a polar bear.

if you're interested in knowing what kinda questions they asked, well... i specifically remembered one. (they didn't allow us to leave with the question paper.) it goes something like this:

you have a party and you need three pears, but the pears are not ripe yet. what do you do to make the ripening process speed up?
a) put them in the dark
b) put them in the refrigerator
c) put them on a windowsill
d) put them in a brown bag with some ripe apples

i chose 'd' because i couldn't bother to use my brain over something like this. here's another:

which of the follwing plant hormone and its function are incorrectly matched?
a) auxin - [i forgot what this is]
b) cytokinin - delay leaf senescence
c) gibberellin - plant growth through stem elongation
d) absicic acid - [i also forgot what this is]
e) ethylene - stimulate ripening of fruit

i picked 'c' as the hormone gibberellin sounded like gibberish to me, so i deduced it must be nonsense and therefore incorrectly paired. still not convinced? well, the option is also supported by the "when in doubt, choose 'c'" theorem.

the 4 hours were just a huge tikam-ing session. i'm sure some others agree with me here. then there was this invigilator dude who started to rub off the words "COVER YOUR ANSWERS" on the whiteboard but he couldn't as the ink was permanent. so, he began the tedious process of tracing the words with a non-permanent whiteboard marker for each stroke of each letter to erase the whole thing. i watched him in fascination for 10 minutes straight from 5.05 to 5.15. that should tell you how bad the paper was.

at the end of it all, i thought i had never shivered so much in my life. to the cjc guy behind me, it would seem as though i were on crack. i was still trembling when i stepped out of that ice-box. my contact lens were so dry that i had to keep blinking to wet them with tears. zzz.

we took the train at the middle platform of jurong east station. zhi wen and i were practically plastered to the doors. IT WAS SO CROWDED. knock-off hours, i guess. then suddenly, the train arriving from boon lay rumbled into the station, and the doors of the train we were in weren't closed yet. then this man from the boon lay train rushed in, when no one dared to. everyone in the middle platform train stared at him incredulously. i could practically see what was running through their minds, because i was thinking exactly the same thing too. "what the hell, can't you see it's full?!" "siao ah! so many people already still squeeze! dunno how to wait for the next train ah?! idiot!" but of course we couldn't say that to his face, and so, like kind, considerate and gracious singaporeans, we squeezed and made some space for him. and he managed to avoid being sliced by the doors when they closed. the train was really packed like a can of sardines. (i've always wanted to use that simile.) luckily, that guy didn't have b.o.; that would have been truly unbearable.

kids say the darndest things

2006-11-15T21:44:00.000+08:00

from kids say the darndest things by art linkletter, funny quips from kiddies!

Ever notice the strange way a teenager borrows money from his mum? It goes something like this among the "sharpies".
"Mom, will you loan me fifty cents? But just give me half of it. Then you'll owe me a quarter. And since I owe you a quarter, we'll be even. Huh, Mom?"

"I once had a dog, but he got married and moved to Oakland."

My daddy brings home ice cream all the time. He works in an ice cream factory.
What's the best flavour?
My mother likes chocolate. Mine is vanilla. My brother's strawberry, and my sister's pistachio.
How about your dad?
He hates ice cream.

"This summer, I'm going to the bottom of the world to see what it would be like if you fell off."
Calmly accepting this preposterous statement as fact, I [Art Linkletter] gravely posed this question:
"And where, do you suppose, is the bottom of the world?"
"Oh, it's a long way off. Texas, I think."

I'd like to stay eleven forever, because the minute you're twelve you have to pay more for everything.

I'd like to be twenty-one so I could join the army.
Which branch do you like?
The Marines.
Who would you fight?
The Germans.
We're not fighting them this year.
Then, the Japs.
Why, that war's all over, too.
I don't worry. By the time I'm twenty-one, there'll be someone to fight.

What are you learning at school that you can tell us about?
They teach you not to fight with your friends.
How do they do that?
They read from the Bible, where Jesus says, "Thou shalt not kill."
I'm happy to learn that they've stopped the killing in the playgrounds this way. But tell me, have you been punished lately?
Yes.
What for?
Hitting a kid in the face with a cupcake.
Why did you do that?
It's not in the Bible.

Do you know anything about the Irish?
I know what a leprechaun is.
What is it?
It's a terrible disease where your skin falls off.

What do you think an inferiority complex is?
- It's interference on a radar screen.
- It's a sort of disease you can catch is you're not careful.

What's Abraham Lincoln famous for?
He was a good president.
What was so good that he did?
He grew a beard.

ahhh.. the beauty of child-like innocence.

j8

2006-11-15T17:18:00.000+08:00

just reached home. i'm beat!

i met up with val, li tian, yide and boon siong at the mph to discuss about the possible decor for the christmas party on 22/12. you should see the "rough" sketch yide did of the mph when it is decorated. it's awesome!! damn pro.. i shall take a picture of the sketch and post it here sometime. haha, so fun! there would be a christmas tree, christmas crackers and everything! EVEN SANTA! (boon siong has graciously conceded to play the role of the jolly ol' man.) can't wait!

val and i then headed to j8 for lunch at long john silver's. THE CHICKEN WAS SO DARN SMALLLLLLL!! such a blatant rip-off!! pffttt.

the library was next. we spent lots of time poring over non-fiction books as we needed to do a book review for gp. haha. found some interesting ones. like:

1. Lies By George W. Bush by David Corn
2. Turtle and Tortoises for Dummies (the baby sea turtles were so cutteee!!! think squirt from finding nemo.)
3. CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics by Eric W. Weisstein

i forgot most of them, but you can't blame me; i slept at four a.m. last night!

i FINALLY found the rape of nanking by iris chang. i've wanted to read that since forever. but upon flipping through the pages and seeing the gruesome pictures of the horrendous torture the civilians in nanking had to endure, i had second thoughts about reading it. (i'll get nightmares, you know.) but i decided i should. at least i'll have kids say the darndest things to make up for all the horror. some of the things they say are really... well, they just make you smile.

What's your name?
Rudigore Sitka.
With that kind of name, what kind of blood do you have in you?
Red.
I mean where did your mother and father come from?
Well, on my mother and father's side there's a little of Chicken-slovakian, some Jugoslavia, some French, a small hunk of Jewish and English and Scotch and I think there's one drop of Cherokee Indian.

you gotta love those kids.

the funny thing is...

2006-11-15T09:40:00.000+08:00

i read a book by ellen degeneres yesterday. you know, the person who voiced dory in finding nemo. she's a stand-up comedian, if you didn't already know.

title of book: the funny thing is...

i recommend this book to anyone who's feeling really stressed out and can't find a way to de-stress. it's simple, but witty and funny all at the same time. here's an excerpt from her book, which is incidentally one of my favourites. (i do hope i'm not infringing any copyright laws.)

The key to life is balance. Think of a seesaw. On one side is Give, the other side Take. If you just give and give and give, you've got nothing left. You're empty. Which means you don't weigh anything because empty equals weightless; so Take is just sitting on the ground bored out of its mind saying, "I'm bored, I can't take anymore of this," which is a pretty strong statement since that's what Take's job is. It is to take. And if Take can't take it anymore, then well, I think you see my point.

And the same goes for taking too much. If you keep taking and taking and taking, you get loaded down. Taking equals heavy. So Give is stranded way up in the air saying, "Hey, I'm way up in the air." And then Take is like, "So?" And Give is like, "I hate you. All you do is take." And Take is like, "You're the stupid poopoohead for giving all the time." And Take gets off the seesaw to leave and Give goes crashing to the ground and then Take feels bad and rushes over to see if Give is okay and then they hug and start crying and both apologize for being so selfish. So you see, it needs to be balanced.

just a tip: if you're allergic to randomness, DON'T read this book, or you'll be sneezing your nose off and it'll fly all the way to timbuktu, and that's real sad, 'cause you're like voldemort who hasn't got a proper nose.

early morning..

2006-11-15T09:25:00.000+08:00

yesterday night, i finally dozed off at around four. i was so sure i was gonna sleep till like 12 the next day, but i didn't!! to my surprise, i managed to drag myself out of bed at 8.30. why?? because of... HIM (yeah, the little guy below.) he arrived this morning and made those cute gurgling noises that babies make, and i just knew i had to get up.

he's my littlest cousin, barely 9 months old. cute, ain't he? i call him winnie the pooh. but his real name is kith. ('kith' as in kith and kin. yeah, his older bro's name is kin.) it's like, EVERYONE in my family's cute. i just CAN'T stand it. haha =D

here's when he was trying to grab the camera away from me. he really is an agile pouncer.

another sian day

2006-11-14T21:03:00.000+08:00

well, lincoln's off to obs. ho ho. what fun.

went back to kranji sec this morning for alumni meeting. only 4 of the exco members were present. pathetic. but it's really ok anyway, as it speeds up the productivity as it is a small group. less heads, less conflicts. chengfeng thought of this idea of planting an alumni tree in kranji. we all laughed at the idea of course. who wouldn't? answer: MDM NORMALA - my sec sch bio teacher. she was just passing by our meeting place and estha brought up the skeptical idea to her. mdm normala was well, really enthusiastic about it. even more than us. she said she has a $5000 plant voucher and she couldn't figure out what to do with it. she furiously insisted that we proposed the idea to mrs ram and she'll let us have a maximum of $500 as the budget. sooo.. it seems that we have a staunch supporter of our proposed plant/tree. yippee.

jun qin's friend apparently took this picture of the disney princesses in their diapers in j8. (not LITERALLY 'diapers', 'diapers' as in they're BABIES. duhhh.)

so cuuttee!! but it's kinda freaky they dress and look the same young or old. i mean, grown-up. (disney characters are never OLD. except for VILLIANS of course.)

the afters - beautiful love

2006-11-12T21:39:00.000+08:00

ahhh.. i'm addicted to beautiful love by the afters!! valerie introduced this song to me a few months back, i believe. she's crazy over it. i've always thought it was a bit too rockish for my taste, but it's actually really good!! so as a tribute to val for making this wonderful song known to me, i'll colour the lyrics ORANGE. aha.

far away, i feel your beating heart
all alone, beneath the crystal stars

heaven's gate

2006-11-11T20:15:00.000+08:00

wow, some people from a cult called heaven's gate actually committed suicide when they sighted comet hale-bopp in the states in 1997.

according to wikipedia (yes, again),

"Applewhite [co-leader of the cult] convinced 38 followers to commit suicide so that their souls could take a ride on a spaceship that they believed was hiding behind the comet..."

"Group members gave up their material possessions and lived a highly ascetic lifestyle devoid of many indulgences. The group was tightly knit and everything was shared communally. Many male members of the cult voluntarily underwent castration as an extreme means of maintaining the ascetic lifestyle."

like, woah.
