when we're reminiscing.

Looking back, it's been so many years.
Was talking to yiying all the way through our bus ride, our subway lunch, our old chang kee cum herbal jelly shopping spree, and while waiting for mum to fetch us. And it's true, the way we just sort of clicked was kind of like coincidence with a dash of hilarity.

I mean, which bunch of best buddies first started bonding through a single phone call to some random person?

We'd ended PSLE and were having an absolutely crazy time at class bbq, especially when we were singing in the KTV room, daring each other to take gulps of breath in the bodyodour-filled mahjong room and playing in the huge bedroom. Then we did something pretty weird and fangirl-ish- we called a celebrity on the phone because somehow we managed to find his/her number on the yellowpages. Or at least we thought it was the right person, but I have a feeling the person was just humouring us. :D "yellow pages where got put my number one?"


I think I reminisce too much. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's not. But just thinking about those little nitty gritty details, like how yunleng and I used to dislike each other until I lent leng a blue pen, how all four of us got (most of the time) unreasonably punished by our ____ form teacher quite often even though fang and I were prefects.

Ah banana gang, I love and miss you so much. Imagine if we'd been in the same secondary school. Total madness.
but then I wouldn't have gotten to know my dear gourmet then, which would've been a pretty sad thing too.

Ahwell. yiying you nehnehpok you have nothing for me to jiayou about because you have no mid-year exams at all. All the best leng and ah fang for your super-duper leadership roles+ exams + mugging + prelims + Olevels! <3

gotta love those aerobics.

Today= LOL.
because gourmet was so darned HAIRSPRAY-HIGH today, especially during english. Me and dorcas can sing duets pretty good :D WE'RE GOING TO MY HOUSE TO DO HAIRSPRAY SINGALONG ONE DAY.

And then before and after geog, our class watched zuiikinaerobics! It's a pretty cute way to learn english, but I don't think I'd really do those aerobics unless I didn't have to chant english phrases along with them. (: mrsyap and mrsh/a/u/g/e/n seemed very amused.




I spent nearly half an hour gazing out the huge living room window, mainly because I wanted to hear the nice band music from the polytechnic opposite my place.
Watching that plane fly up into space and disappearing behind the clouds until it was nothing but a small occasionally-blinking silhouette made me miss indonesia loads. Never expected holidaying here to be so enjoyable, but yeah that was the most interesting time of my life. That was the time I had one of the highest fevers in my life and yet enjoyed myself so much I didn't want to leave just yet. <: O
Life there was so carefree. I mean, you could just walk for miles and miles and you'd see nothing but villages, mountains and goats. Okay, not just goats, loads of flowery plantations. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind trading lives with the kids there for maybe just one or two days. Playing football, chasing after goats, horseriding, running down the hills......
NO SCHOOL. probably the best thing that's happened to them kids.
Gawsh bandung really rocked, the hotel was great, the cream of mushroom soup which I perpetually lived on when I was having high fever was great, the breakfast was great, the scenery was great, the cold was heaven. Most of the time when we were sitting at the back of the van, we'd slide open the windows to get the mountain air. And I enjoyed the scenery so much that when I clambered out of the van to see the volcano, I forgot to switch off my iPod and couldn't listen to it when I got sick that night. :)
COOLZ.
I need another getaway.
I really need another getaway.
I really, really need another getaway. Which will probably be in like um, when A levels are over.
:D

I feel so irritable, I could just crush my windpipe with my bare hands right now.


Oh well.
Someday I should be a travel journalist. Or a linguist. Then when I write my cover stories at iceland, I could meet hawthawthawwwt jonsi and speak to the people there, without a translator. That'd be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool.
Suddenly there are so many languages I'd really like to learn. I think learning languages and stuff's a whole lot easier than stuff like differentiation.

the true meaning of corny.

Today, I discovered the true meaning of being corny.

But but but, today was an extremely strange, guilty sort of day.
Was feeling kind of peckish and depressed in the morning despite getting tons of sleep (i slept at 10.30pm no kidding), was depressed all the way till bio when I decided I shouldn't keep getting swallowed by unfounded sadness all the time.

Gourmet, you always cheer me up no matter what happens. And I'm terribly sorry I sometimes tend to get frustrated/depressed around y'all and take it on y'all when I get angry to the max, but will try not to get so hot and bothered for reasons I shall keep to myself and only to myself. (but the reasons are pretty obvious, ahhhhhh....) Ily gourmet!


Anyway after that gourmet had a whale of a time PK-ing again, this time with our latest craze- PICTIONARY. To date, the pornsak and mumbai ones are the funniest ever (:
Math was ......................................... not very nice. not very spectacular at all.
i hope everything'll go fine on monday.



But anyway, today was still a FUNFUNFUN DAY overall because
I now know the true meaning of corny.
Went out for a smashing dinner with willette and dorcas before rushing back for in-convo, we were kind of late because we missed the bus (and didn't bother trying to catch it because our muscles were aching frm 2.4km run). Then we got stuck in the office trying to get an attendance list for in-convo, but were saved by mr s/e/g/a/r/r/a, who we discovered is actually very very very nice in a funny way because he let us take the lift and went O_o because we were so amused by the pictures of spongebob on the wall.

Since we had alot of time to kill while waiting for the guests to arrive, alexys jermaine penny willette dorcas and I (and occasionally xinqi too) amused ourselves with jokes. Lame jokes that still rock. We started from -ANT jokes to B jokes to very strange jokes.
for example, an -ANT joke:

"What ant is big and grey?"
an elephant.

"What B is always cute?"
benelope. OMGOSH I GUESSED IT RIGHT OKAY.

to even stranger ones, like the H/ECTAR JOKE which i shall never risk my neck posting it here for the world to see.

and the lamest strangest CORNIEST ones.
"what knee (it's supposed to be "NI") is black?"
and part 2:
"which spring (spring as in CHUN, 春) is very, very dark, particularly in this time of the year?"

the answers= m/s/ c/h/u/n.

and because msc/h/u/n was so dreadfully amused, she said “SO CORNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
i think we almost suffocated! : D

and then and then:
me: "teacher, what does corny mean?"
ms/c/h/u/n: "Oh, corny means got lots of corn in your knee lah!"



AHHHHHH. So that's what corny really means. :D we are very amusing people.

honest, truly, i do.

GAWSH what kind of day was today. Felt like I was completely shrouded in some kind of thick choking mist because I was semi-conscious the entire day (or at least until I got home and started running).

RS presentation- HARDYHAHAHA.
Our powerpoint presentation was super nice, kudos to yunxi justina and yingling for that, and the rest of us were so super impromptu, with people getting lost or not knowing that there was presentation today, and resulting in a search party for the people who got lost. : D
And how someone very accidentally swore in front of zhang lao shi, the teacher who was assessing us, the sec3 ymep group and us. It just comes so naturally, I guess.


The rest of the day was totally [using mrs h/a/u/g/en's funny phrases] semi-conscious curry-puff lalang mode.


Oh oh oh and the four gourmets came up with all sorts of zilian-ess and weird PKs. Dunno what's with the PK craze, but it's crazy (: We came up with so many lists of top3 most handsome (and random) guys all in the same piece of paper which had this argumentative essay question written on it. After school, cheryl valsoh and I went to buy CD covers at orchardMRT popular and guess what, we had a super discount. I think we helped them clear alot of stocks, considering that we bought ninety CD covers. for less than thirty precious bucks.


POKEMON HEROES (:
I happened to pass by this new CD shop that suddenly popped out of nowhere at the bus interchange, and because all things pokemon just happen to naturally catch my eye, I suddenly had to shift to go-stun gear because I realised that I'd just walked past a whole rack of pokemon movie VCDs. The nice auntie gave me a discount!
My gosh it's really amazing how the pokemon movies are the only few tvshows that actually make me cry! Hmm let's see all of the movies made me cry except the third one, the one I like least because Entei's so O_o to me.
I LOVE LATIOS!
I wish I'd saved more money two years ago when this shop in wheelock was selling pokemon movie plushies, then I'd buy the latias and latios plushies! the lugia plushie and jirachi plushie, my 14th bday present from the 102 people still remains one of my best bedtime pals ever. :D
But omgawwwwwsh latias and latios were soooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeet in the movie and latios just had to die. die die die. After latios died i couldnt stop crying until after I switched off the tv.

I NEED MUNNY. LOTS AND LOTS OF MUNNY. to do the top five things i would do with munny:
1) go for slimming treatment and come out looking like valsoh or dorcas--> GOOD TO HAVE, NOT A MUST-HAVE.
2) Buy plushies :)
3) Buy a Wii. might as well wait till after august for it then. :)
4) Soundproof my entire piano room, add in a harp, a drumset, a guitar, a clarinet, a saxophone and a zhongsuo.
5) Buy earphones so that my parents won't go deaf from all the noise I'll make in that room although it's supposed to be soundproofed.





why the blazes are there people in this world who don't need to exercise vigorously on a regular basis, eat whatever they want and not grow fat? Gross lucky poks. why the blazes is there such a thing as LOW METABOLIC RATE? WHY? WHY, WHY, WHY?

a very weird week.

DULOC IS A PERRRRRRRFECT PLACE! (:

I have no idea why, but my latest craze= absolutely coolz shrek piano music (i.e. the duloc song!)

anyway.
This week has been such a mix of everything. Never have I experienced hell-deep lousiness and immense joy and high-ness all in a span of less than seven days.

monday to wednesday:
depression to the point of self mutiliation? nah, not that bad, I'd never mutiliate myself.
but yeah pretty much depressed.
And sometimes I really wonder if I'm in the right school, in the right world, and whether I'm worthy to be in the company of such amazingly academically inclined close friends.
And you three will know this because I shouted something really un-octeoish in a loud whisper in the library, after we'd gotten back geog and I was trying to squeeze myself in between the shelf and the fire extinguisher. Bit stupid, really.
Thing is, it isn't great at all to compare. there's absolutely no point in it. it was like having something wringing you by the neck, shaking you and screaming, you're the fattest, you're the dumbest, you're the most insensitive and you're probably the most lacking of all. so just throw away that ego man, and start wearing sunglasses because you'll be seeing so much of the bright side of life. I hate those spur-of-the-moment depressions, they drive me nuts enough to destroy any single clump of happy thoughts lingering inside my brain, and after a few days the depression just fades away as quickly as it came.
and remembering what we did in bs this morning, everyone does have God-given talents. so we should not compare. so I should not be comparing with anyone but myself at all.



Thursday-Saturday: nearly tipped the scales for high-ness.
Loads of weird funny things happening between those days. For instance.

- xinqi's right hand shoots all the way high up into the air when she asks ms ko a question. I was just about spastic enough to suddenly tickle her just as the hand shot up.

-imitated a particular accent that shouldn't have been heard when mr s/e/g/a/r/r/a was standing about less than two metres behind me.

-diy's future occupation= scarecrow. The birds come, diy blows puffs of air at the birds and the birds disappear (as demonstrated by yitong : D)

XIAOZU WAS THE MOST SATISFYING AND SMASHING ONE WE HAD SINCE LAST AUGUST. Shall not say why though, that's between wenting jiaqian yuyue chew esther claire and me!
Anyway the dynamic boss duo braved the wind and rain to come back and visit us collect hcl Olevel certificates! Bobo hadn't reached our prac classroom yet so boss sort of um gave us this wonderful delusion that bobo had joined streetdancing.
: O
and then after rounds of laughing until we almost collapsed, we realised that no, bobo was in weiqi club. darn.
after xiaozu all my poor twisties got eaten up, everyone went home, claire kept coming back to take her stuff, bobo went home, brenda's things were still lying on the table so we assumed that she'd be coming back in the near future, stayed back with boss to wait for our father and mother expresses and yada yada yada yada while catching balls, brenda came back and we sat there for another 15min yada yada, brenda left and then we left to go foyer to see if the father and mother expresses had arrived, yada yada yada some more at the foyer until mummy came.
and by that time I felt rather tipsy from all the yada-ing until I fell asleep in a very unglamorous fashion, according to mum.


friday was international friendship day! Concert was quite nice, huang qian sang solo so many times and then we were like hmm yuyun why didn't you go up to the stage and give physics lectures!? :)
gourmet was also being abit crazy for no apparent reason.
Before dazu koh jiaqian and I had a major crazy moment where they said I looked like a certain male person who I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT RESEMBLE IN ANY WAY.
dazu was nuts, wenting and I discovered we had anger management problems and because we were so bored when they were doing molou (we don't need to play until about 170 bars later), we made clanging sound effects with our suonas, did starwars in hokkien manymany times because the background music was so appropriate, wenting and jiaqian began comparing photos of their brothers, they ransacked my phone gallery and we digitally altered an unglam photo of boss, witnessed an innocent piece of paper getting crumpled repeatedly and did even more sound effects (to help tanbo. we WERE helping!).

the best thing was waffletown's nice nice waffles, thanks to mummy (:

AND SATURDAY ORA WAS UM. FUN? with ziyi xinwei vic eileen and beatrice. Didn't know watching prefects getting dunked could be so satisfying.

:D
and so ends my very weird week. goodnight.

juxtaposed.

a flurry of emotions raging inside, you can hear them screaming and flailing as they fight to break free.


not exhausted, but crushed.
Ineedtopray.





and when the tiger casts its stripes away
when nighttime never turns to day
when hearts are consumed in frozen flame,
I fell
on bended knee to pray;

There is no other possible way.

sportsfest 08

school= i-have-no-idea-why-i-am-in-school-today-but-i-just-am-because-i-have-no-choice sort of boring day.

XIAOZU= extremely entertaining.
People learn better when they're having fun right? So after everyone did some pretty intense work on mo4 lou2, the prefects came to tell us not to practice for about twenty minutes because they were doing some filming outside, which gave us a nice longer-than-usual break! :)
And then we created a new slightly-above-ground-level chuiguan crowdsurfing tradition when brenda gave us suona people the idea to crowdsurf our three sec ones, because they're all so light and skinny (goes absolutely green with envy). Our crowdsurfing was pretty good, so now we know what's in for next year's newcomers! :D


I dunno, life's been absolutely weird lately. Really weird. something inside me's been killed, something you can never put into words properly but somehow you feel it when it's gone.

blown away on all fool's day

APRIL FOOL'S!
Our class got fooled by nasty mr s/e/garra, so we decided to fool him back!
What with that crazy picture of him which shimin kindly provided, and amelia's super gay editing skills! :) p/ a ul's edited painty picture now resides in our class comp with the title P.S. I Love You.
-chokes-


And this is the life.
Memorizing bio, playing 潘玮柏's lovely songs and MVs on repeat (and making my mom wonder if I'll ever get a boyfriend if my criteria = must be christian, must look like panweibo, must be like pwb, must sing like pwb, must RAP like pwb, must not eat octopus meat, etc etc etc).
OKAZAKI FRAAAAAAAAAAAGMENTS.
I am currently being blown away by pwb because pwb is WAY BEYOND COOL, and the fact that I've been studying so intensively for bio.
Praying that bio will go well tomorrow. PASS PLEASE LET ME PASS PROPERLY.

NEEDAGONOW :) i love you much much too yiying btw!
