would you like to take my hand?





Grumpy (and angsty like how valsoh says), frumpy and volatile. Especially during exam period.

Grades just have to mean so much to everyone don't they.
Sorry for the frumpiness. bwahaharz.

I haven't had a proper conversation (i.e. NOTHING about grades/exams/stress mentioned) with anyone for ages. Well except maybe with valsoh my wonderful gay counterpart moose because we were discussing *ahem* objects/PERSONS of attraction, our gay tendencies, other gay stuff that shouldn't be mentioned here because it would shock the daylights out of you, and POST-EYA ACTIVITIES. Zomg can I just fast-forward to thursday afternoon pleaseplease? Gourmet's going out to have a big partaye man............. (:






And while I'm at it let me unearth a couple of photos.............



Did we even realise that we'd be together doing the weirdest and most outrageous sort of rubbishy things we wouldn't dream of doing alone? Like uh, breaking into random songs or laughing until cannot squeeze anymore tears out? AND BETTING AND WATCHING FREE MOVIES AND SLEEPOVERS AND BECOMING REGULAR VISITORS TO GOURMET#2'S HOUSE? :)

willettewee you forever look the funniest in our photos leh. WE SO CUCKOO IN SEC TWO!

ATTEMPTING to be chefs? Eh but our sushi-twister gourmet hunt was quite cool. Reach dorcas house at almost 7.30pm after learning journey and eat eat play play until almost 10pm.

uh. celebrating the end of some big thing (like SPAs or exams or for no rhyme or reason) by staying really late at lido talking, watching movie and then talking some more after that.


or doing even more unconventional stuff? gourmet took this when everyone else was rushing off to bio lab lesson and we were still trying to get a good zi lian picture after dunno how many shots. Whee. But here we are. the coolz gourmet people. :)

back to studying chinese. (yes i AM studying for chinese)

feizao ftw for superband revivals! (:

edit: how come our photo-taking position never change after how long already! always kena sit/stand next to willette in the cinema, at lido, in the canteen, at random restaurants, in the bus etc. :D ONE PAPER LEFT!

big girl you are beautiful

english compre= weird. hope i pass properly.

i freaking dislike being told to eat, or asked every single time whether i'm hungry, or asked to eat, or implored to eat. Implored, yeah. nothing's wrong with your hearing.

I am NOT that 24/7 hungry disgusting glutton I was when I was in primary five.
I do NOT eat more than three solid meals per day.
I do NOT love eating.
I do NOT love food. (well, if it's foie gras or bar chor mee then it's a different story...)
I do NOT crave for food 24/7. because I am NOT expecting or anything so I won't have cravings eh?
I do NOT look skinny.
but i am NOT fat.
I do NOT need to put on more weight.
I do NOT exactly look very proportionate either.
I do NOT skip my meals. I eat. Sparingly.
I do NOT waste food.
I do NOT need to keep on eating to stay alive *puts on the beegees music*
I do NOT like being too thin.
I am NOT anorexic/bulimic/sick/crazy, in any way.

... therefore, I'd really appreciate it if you NOT keep asking me whether I've eaten (that's alright though, it's out of concern and I think it's nice of you to ask), what I ate, remark that whatever I ate isn't filling enough, and that I should eat more, and ask whether I need more food, whether I'm still hungry, etcetcetcetcetc.

PEOPLE. DO NOT ASSOCIATE THIS EIGHT-LEGGED MUGGER (currently) WITH FOOD, FOOD, FOOD AND MORE FOOD BECAUSE IT GETS ANNOYING SOMETIMES.

really!
*pounds fist on the wall*

-ASKED AGAIN. shoots. i need to manage my impulsivity :/ slow to anger slow to anger slow to anger slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww to anger. Breathe.

three and onetwelfth decades.

Cool after probably an extremely long time, ebf (my church) turns thirty-one.
and I AM SIXTEEN and can therefore fully enjoy NC16 movies in the CINEMA instead of watching them on cableTV at home. =_+

yep so today was pretty fun, same usual thing we always do during church anniversary- more songs, youth people had to go up and sing ( O_O ), bilingual sermon which turned into a chinese-peppered-with-english-and-dialect one, photo-taking, buffet, hanging out. :)
I realised I have very manly hands.
because although my palms are no match for all the guys' ginormous sprawling palms (except abel HAH) my fingers are longer than most of theirs.
And there were so many people who came back to visit! which brings us back to memories of the HunnyGang and our weird fantasies like kukabalu town and the ai lim chwee mai thing!
Watching that special slideshow with all the church events over the past two years makes me slightly guilty that I haven't been attending alot of youth meetings and camps- okay, so I've never been to churchcamp all my life but my family's got certain reasons hmm. MUST. START. GETTING. MORE. INVOLVED. AFTER. FREAKING. ENDOFYEARS. :X
and because I think I am not a very good steward of my life although I am capable of entertaining myself alone in a quiet room.

OH FIVE MORE SUBJECTS TO GO AND THE FREAKING ENDOFYEARS I'LL EVER HAVE IN THIS SCHOOL WILL BE OVER.

life without CCA seems rather fun now. although I feel that the suona people are in dire need of someone to help with pitch. THAT WOULD BE ME WOULDN'T IT HEEHEE *STARTS SHINING THE BRIGHT EGO AURA AGAIN* Seriously speaking, shengsuo's standard totally needs a boost. A very great boost. I wasn't firm with letting shengsuo do jibengong religiously, and didn't stick by it as a weekly routine.
And that is probably the biggest cross I'll have to carry with me until the standard somehow manages to go up.

WORRY ABOUT EYAs FIRST. FREAKING EYAs.
I CAN DO IT.
I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT I CAN LIKE GET A GPA THAT'S REASONABLY OKAY MMHMM.

random thought while mugging #1
and i still hate RIGIDITY. so much to study for chem.

(edit)
random thought #2
Two out of my favourite bands have been eliminated from SuperBand. Wu Ge Ren and Fei Zao. :/ nevermind GO DAFENGCHUI and yishijie! (:

(edit again)
random thought #3
Among those living in the same floor as me, I found that my dog has a notoriety for being fierce towards noisy young children. And she gets pissed by them easily.
Now I have a feeling my dog's a manifestation of my ugly self.

birthday (for later).

THANKYOU everyone for your presents and wellwishes in the form of rather hasty msn + sms + facebook chats (because of the DARNED eyas)! :) will blog and post more pictures on my birthday LATER because although MY birthday is SPECIAL the eyas are unfortunately (forced to be) more special than my birthday. : O
but it was the most fun ever! Especially gourmet's spastic but thoughtful and LOVEly present and the chuiguan juniors' *cough* intended surprise party! LOVELOVE.
and........
WHEEEEEEEEEE. lit's over!
:)

sigh.
the only thing I'm afraid for will come tomorrow- mathmathmathmathmathmathmathematics.
Heck philo. Math comes first. Fail philo never mind, that doesn't mean you lack freaking mental cognition or something but failing math is a big no-go.
Will I make it?

fat and stupid
slim and smart
moderate
which one am I happiest at. which do I wish I had.

On To Victory (or possible failure if things don't work out)!

ready, set, go!

oh dangit even my title shows HOW INFLUENTIAL THAT VALSOH IS. How did valsoh make me kind of like tokio hotel, I have absolutely no idea.
VALSOH. >: D
mmhmm today was abit pek chek (i.e. i'm in a irritable sort of mood and in despair so don't disturb), but probably only during chem 'coz I didn't understand anything, was snivelling with my nose which chose this morning to get screwed, and a couple of othe pek chek things.
And then that had to spoil my mood for the entire morning. Or at least a whole subsequent 20 minutes. I HATE RIGIDITY.
but then again I'm sorry I got so pissed, I actually hurled my favourite ruler at the whiteboard and stormed off for recess. sorry gourmet had to see that. :/

I need to get smarts.

But the rest of the day was pretty nice because gourmet was being super silly the whole day as usual, and although the presentations during assembly were excellent, I fell asleep halfway, which was quite gross because Valsoh said she could see the whites of my eyes while I was in my mid-assembly slumber =_=
gourmet was feeling extremely nice (and free) so we bought our math relief teacher a farewell present from the BOOKSHOP. we were thinking of buying dumplings but ah that's a different story. Spent like half an hour trying to look for her, but she'd already left school so we were like DIE HOW ARH. but we managed to pass it to a teacher who'd pass it to her when they meet up sometime soon. :)
PHILO MAKEUP. no comment. except that our charades were really quirky. valsoh and I came up with teacher-version charades and wil and dorcas guessed them until they couldn't breathe.


then then mugged with dear old bao at the bench. I hope your snivelly nose recovers soon bao, or your house will soon run out of tissue. Tissue is a snivelly person's Best Friend. but thankyou so much for the wonderful notes and chem help. The best sort of help I've gotten in a long time.

ah I shall go eat my dinner/supper= sinner now. INSTANT NOODLES I LOVE :D

scratch that.

Scratch that last post. Anger has long subsided.
mmhmm.

mugging with bao was super productive today, we probably did almost half of the bio syllabus already (: THANKYOUBAO!
and i did maths too yay! (:

OKAY. I'm super scared for chem. What on earth's gonna happen to us, I wonder.
O_O


edit!
While I was innocently chanting organic chem terminologies from this chem powerpoint, I got this random weird call from this weird telecommunications service number which i didn't know.
"I was bath- ing just now. What'ssssssssss up?"
zomg boss you are the weirdest person around tonight. +_=

and it don't make sense

am I not supposed to blog when I am taking a break from mugging geography and biology?

happy national day. happy one-week-left-before-EYAs day. happy mugging.
I seriously hope it pays off, sometimes it's freaking annoying when you're fat, not very disciplined and not very smart. I can't seem to touch my pillow before midnight, it's really difficult to sleep early after staying up till about 2am to do biojournal and all the stoopid PTs. Come on valteo you HAVE to focus no matter what. Exercise, mug, don't eat more than five times a day. Then everything should be okay. I don't want a sedentary lifestyle of mugging to make me put on more weight.

and then again...

deep down you wished you had it all. you wished you were like them.


I know I'm not supposed to, but I miss you too much.

when the torch is passed.

Ah it just occurred to me that I should really blog before the end-of-years start and I can't allow myself to get distracted by the evils of blogging when you're supposed to be studying.
dang.


rgco chairperson elections yesterday was um not exactly smooth-sailing, but I shall not say more than that. Loved all the speeches. Would never have been able to deliver such a speech if I were to ever try out for the chair of some sort (which will never happen, end of story). But mmm whatever the outcome, nina koh amelia and wenyun are four equally competent and superb nominees. So I shall not have any bias whatsoever, because bias is one of the things I detest the most (besides fishcake and sweet sweet jelly).

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY JASSELYN the super retired xianyue SL! :) but I already wished you at 12.15am on the actual day you sillybillywillynillydonkey! Hope you like our donkey though. I saw a cute brown hairy bison at the toy shop and I think it resembles you more than the donkey though! AHAHA.

So while deciding stuff for handover, the whole comm and xianyue got a cake each for the lucky birthday girl! I love the cake. LOVE IT. note to self: buy ice cream cake for mum's + my birthday

then after the whole decision making stuff was finally over, yuyue and I couldn't find a proper place to mug so we went to mug at the amphitheatre steps (the part that remains dry even though it's raining). We were quite productive leh, managed to read some geog notes before nice wonderful daddy came to fetch us both home. Talking to fellow pervert yuyue makes car journeys seem extremely abnormally short (: but there was alot to talk about. so yeah. By the time we reached home it was SUPER dark.

rest of the day was abit ________.

:D

And now for today.
NDP celebrations!
was horrible (in the earlier stage), mostly due to my snivelling and nose-blowing almost every second. I used up so much tissue, mum thinks I should marry a man who works in a tissue paper factory. Stupid sinus. Goes on and off until I have to depend so much on vitaminC pills and this absolutely yummy wonder fruit drink that REALLY DOES HELP. good thing my aunt introduced it to my family. We sort of chionged our class fashion show outfit, cutting up all the used parking coupons, signs and whatnots and sticking aluminium foil all over the umbrella. And the script which took about 20 hellish minutes to write, but turned out great thanks to becca elaine wil and dorcas' help, and vic's wonderful impromptu narration which made the messy script sound so good. :) what happened to kim ah?

last NDP celebration in rg.
lesson learnt? Don't dance together with the cheerleaders in front. Unless you want to look like some weird moving speck amidst a bunch of stoners. +_= seriously, I DON'T DANCE. Community singing got a bit high with those bunch of crazy people, but I guess that's the way we are. (:

and after that was.........................
RGCO HANDOVER 2008! (to comm 2009). :D
Met up with bao and yingbao upstairs to go pack our bags, then we went down together and on the way i met hil! who i regrettably owe an almost-2-year-old letter. Ah. It will come. hooray. still the same nice skinny hil hor. heehee. :D
and terrible willette kept screaming at me to hurry up. TERRIBLE POK = TABLE PORK. (which is Conversational Gourmet According to Amooooooooooolia the BLUR.)

Shall give comm'09 a clap and a pat on the back! (:

Announcing the results was super odd for me, I have no idea why. It's kind of sad that I'm handing over the job to koh and jiaqian, but I'm sure those two will make a pretty good team. I think we chose the right people for comm- koh for SL, jiaqian for ASL, chewlin for treasurer, and yixin and claire as comm members. We trust y'all ah.
This totally reminds me of last year's handover- seeing yuyue's shock of being in maintenance, and being scared about SL-ship and the initial part of working with koh. Time flies so fast these days, it's just scary. Gonna miss being SL, it was fun while it lasted, including those pretty stressful and frustrating situations. Life's gonna be alot less colourful now. I suddenly miss playing david the wonderful shiny top-grade gaosuo which has served me so well this whole year, and morpeng the old zhongsuo! If only I could get hold of a free soundproofed room. Then it'd be so much easier to play. guess all I can do now is stick to flute, though it's not the same as playing suona. :/ I MISS THE OLD TIMES. But it's time to move on. Enough.

so comm'09. do your thing, baybeh.

After handover a bunch of us chuiguan people went to dhoby for section lunch, initially wanted pizza hut but went to BK instead. I feel so incredibly sinful and fat after eating those french fries. It was alot of fun talking to stace esther chewlin jiaqian and bao, who are highly amusing people. I am still very, very, very, very tickled by the fact that stacey kicked her koala bear (or supposed SQUIRREL) out of the sleeping bag at camp, at that we caught it ALL ON CANDID CAMERA. >:D
chewlin jiaqian esther and I went shopping for awhile at the basement, we spent a good solid one hour plus window shopping, though chew and I did buy stuff- M&M CHOCOLATE DISPENSERS! I lovelovelovelove my nice new incredibly orange m&m mini dispenser, so i can eat chocolate without feeling too guilty. Chew got the blue one. :) and in addition to that I got nan quan mama's album at a really (unbelievably) cheap price. RETAIL THERAPY- WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME.

So here I am entertaining yubo on msn, half asleep, exhausted from watching olympics and talking for a solid hour and a half with dear bao on the phone, banging on the piano, giving jiaqian nice nice pointers and mugging geog. Shall go sleep now.

HAVE YOURSELVES A HAPPY RUBBER DAY.
(and national day!)

do you feel it too?

mmmhmm today is a very amusing day.
Went to rj with gourmet and xinqi to check out their Scholarship Day. Which was quite fun because we got to feel extremely young >:) Seriously all those promoter people kept assuming we were gonna take Alevels and we'd go "ehh.... still got alot of time." then they'll be like "oh you're in J1 then!". Then we'd collapse in fits of laughter. =_= pretty surprised by how much charisma some of the promoter guys had, like the guy who gave us uh free nokia iphones and the guy who talked to me alot alot alot about journalism. Sounds cool though. Although dorcas and I were still left to ponder what we really wanted to do as a career. Eeeyer. As if we're so old.

Uh. 5 reasons why RJ scholarship day was great:

1) The promoter people wore orange shirts.

2) The promoter people gave us each a very cool and very orange bag to put our barang barang.

3) (okay enough orange, here's a politically correct answer) It OPENED my very small eyes and now I know loads about different scholarships and career paths.

4) The promoter people gave us orange plastic bags!

5) I MET UNCLE CX! right. So that doesn't count as much of a reason but I was pretty shocked to see that certain uncle promoting something there huh! :D

moral of the story: the best place to get orange stuff for FREE. valsoh was amusing herself with the free frisbee, calculator, notepads and other whatnots while the other four of us civilized people were flipping through all the catalogs.


:) back to bio. and SSFA. grah.

WELLDONE WILLETTEWEE! :D am proud of you! because you did it! AND WE ARE AWESOMELY NICE!


AHA. start the countdown, it's SEVENTEEN days so anybody feeling rich and generous wanna buy a harp/ZHONGSUO/sax/guitarhero3/swatch watch/ pretty orange things for ME? ! (:
