Hello, I haven't updated for like ages. Past two weeks have been busy, cousins came over and they just left yesterday, and other stuff that I can't be bothered to blog about.

But anyway, I've been thinking, and I thought it would be around time to write dedications for everyone in class. You call it shoutouts, but notice the irony in that you don't actually shout, you type. So I call it a dedication.

Ok lets start. Whoosh, I'm picking a name out of a black top hat and levitating it on my silver wand, only that there is not black hat and silver wand and I'm choosing random people mentally. Get it?

So first.... Liana!

Liana.

I LOVE YOU! I'll miss you a lot if we don't end up in the same class, because you like to squeal a lot and say random things especially if it's very silent. Like your twisted barney song! And I used to think at the start of the year that you were really noisy and boisterous, and guess what.. .

I WAS RIGHT!

But anyway study hard! And swim less or you'll get tanner than ahma!

Liz.

I'll miss you really much especially since you're going to nj and I might possibly never ever see you again. But I'll miss my books and clothes more, so return them please! Ok kidding. I really hope we don't lose touch or anything, and we must meet next year! With tricia and sze and the 4+4!

Sze.

I love you sze cause you're so funny and you say random memorable lines that crack me up even now, and all the private jokes and msn conversations about budget airlines (!!!) and everything. I'M MISSING YOU ALREADY COME ONLINE YOU FREAK. haha. One day I'll buy a bag big enough to fit you in, and ship you to India, I promise! (Ok that was really random, I don't know where it came from.)

ttm.

wubbly bubbly chubbly guppy tammie see I can rhyme ok! I love you my MEP partner! To bad we you won't be in MEP next year to slack during the listening times and find answers in Miss Tsien's harmony books or talk about taste. Quit on me you! :(((((((( I'm being doomed to eternam suffering by MEP aloneee! While you get to go to home econs. Blah you.

tricia.

Tricia! Teehee I'm uploading photos now, and SHOCKANDHORRORS you're in every single one of them! Haha I remember last year we used to write a load of letters. I still have them at home! I'll miss you, have fun at nj, don't smoke even though the uniform's supposingly fireproof! Not that I can imagine you smoking. Haha. See you at RMBR!

Sarah.

You take good photos, even with short hair! And you draw very well! Ok that's like what I think when I think of you. Good luck with your netballing, and I hope we can still stay in the same class next year! It's been really fun having you around especially when we're in a phototaking mood!

Melinda.

Class clown! Ok thanks for all the crazy jokes, I remember we used to be really sick in chem lab during practicals. Ahaha. See you next year!

Gabby.

GABBBYYYYY the prefect. Erm. You're like perfect in every way! Haha. You're going to nj too, so good luck in studies! And I like your bangs, so make sure you continue cutting them like that!

Grace.

I LOVE YOUR CHEESECAKE GRACE OMG bake more! I really think you should sell your stuff. Seriously. It tastes better than the secret recipe one I had for my birthday. Mmmmmmmm. Oh and YOU BEAT ME IN EVERY SCIENCE SUBJECT! Haha you robot! I want to whisk you off to nj (no competition, haha) but then I won't be able to eat your baking any more, so that's why I hope I'll be in the same class as you next year!

Oh, and who can forget you're famous line:

(staring at my blue oishi oheya chips) Can I try some of your strangely-flavoured cereal?

HAHHAHAHA.

Maisie.

My ex-english partner! Haha you're straight hair is straighter than mine rebonded. And it's gravity-defying! You robot you, study so hard that you're voice sounds tinny. Haha kidding. See you in school next year! Don't keep on booking me for eating in class!

Jaime.

Class sit-next-to-er and fellow communalist! We share everything! You're drawing and english rocks solid! And rapping, haha jaime your hidden talent. We knew all that memorising was going somewhere. Oh yes thanks for drawing the designs with eyeliner on my face for musical, it must have been gross staring at my pimples for a full ten minutes!

ahma.

Haha ensemble partner and fellow back-huncher! I wouldn't come for ensemble if not for you! Honoured? haha. You're like so musically inclined, and inclined to hunch too, I must add. Blah you just talked to me on msn! Only talk about class stuff. Boring lurh. (:

andrea.

I've known you since like a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago! In primary one we sat on the same bus! Haha and RMBR, and looking for a job and all that. I hope I get to see more of you (ok ew, that sounds gross) next year!

Sophia.

You're going to nj too, all of you are leavinggggg wehhhh you make me sad with a quadruple chin :(((( Less people to talk to in MEP too! Sigh. But oh well, best of luck! I'll miss you loads cause I like talking to you! Yay!

Ok that's about it, and also in general to the whole of 2T, thanks for making my first two years in MG really really memorable (for good reasons and for not so good, haha). I mean this sounds so cliche-d, but really I bonded with all you strangers I would otherwise have never met, and I am miles greatful for having you guys in my life. I couldn't dream of a better class. Really.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU GUYS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If poetry screams, threaten to switch to painting.

Today was eventful, we had house elections (SARAH OUR NETBALL CAPTAIN!), then some poetry thing, then fooling around with those gym stuff in the primary school hall. Reliving childhood memories, releasing happy hormones whatever.

How mooncake festival came about.
I figured all you people might need a little cheena education.
Once upon a time in China in some random province before your great great great great great great great great-grandmother even had her feet bound, even before feet-binding started in the first place there was this fairly pretty lady called Chang Er (directly translated=long ear).
So Chang Er had porcelain complexion, with wispy hair and silky stuff fluttering about.
And as it always goes, pretty weak ladies end up marrying heroes. So she married Hou Yi, the guy who shot nine out of ten suns (which makes me wonder why he didn't just finish them all off).
Because of Hou Yi's chivalry, Queen Mother of the Western Skies (funny huh, China's in the east) gave him a immortality elixir.
But selfish Chang Er slapped her silky hair around and sulked. She must have that elixir! So what if Hou Yi could shoot down suns, she was so pretty could make all of them turn away in bashfulness!
So she ate/drank the elixir. But unfortunately she ate/drank too much of it just in case. It unknowingly contained helium, which caused the already-fairy-like Chang Er to float, and then she started to hiccup, and then develop a helium-induced donald duck quack, and floated out of her house, much to her husband's surprise (yes, he tried to grab her silky fairy stuff when he found out what was happening, but it was too late).
So she floated and floated, and managed to grab a fluffy rabbit from a nearby farm.
So now she's isolated permanently on the moon, with only a rabbit for company. Having nobody to talk to, she communicates frequently with her rabbit, who does not seem to mind her donald duck voice. Occasionally, however, she does have the ability to send high-pitch frequency messages which induce all mooncake-makers to automatically have her blown-up picture placed on the lid of every mooncake box.
Chang Er believes that through this propaganda, one day she might just be able to take over the earth, where she shall rule from afar and have a palace on the moon. After all, she's already suceeded in becoming the moon goddess.
Hou Yi, however, got so angry that his elixir had been eaten up by Chang Er that he gave up on shooting permanently. However in a lucky turn of events, he got endorsed by a cosmetic surgery brand that constantly renewed his good looks.
So over the years, he has morphed into...

Christopher Lee.
P.S. there's another version of this story where Hou Yi is the baddie and Chang Er takes the elixir to prevent him from becoming immortal. I prefer the former one.

HOLIDAY RE-CAP.
Speaking of which, does any one know what recap is the short form of? Is it recapitulation (recycles old mep term)?
Wednesday
Far East Plaza in a Indianish maxicab (the only other solution was to squeeze sze in the boot). Then everyone else went to watch John Tucker Must Die while I went home for tuition, which got cancelled.
Thursday
Went to IMM, then went bowling (which I officially suck at), then went to Island Cremery, then went to liz's house, then went home.
Friday
Went to VivoCity for the very first time, about 99.9% of the shops are not open yet but the Forever 21 there is BIGGGG.
Saturday
Bea just came and played cards and left.
Anyway my blog is getting boring so I'm going to do a quiz! from andrea's blog.

What is the 1st word that comes to your mind when you think of the word word?
play.

What are your vital statistics?
Er I'm not really sure but I've got ACTING CALIBRE and that's all that counts.

Name something interesting about your father.
A lot of things. Hmmm he was a DJ, had permed hair and earholes in the past, and now he has gross long fingernails to strum the guitar. Oh yeah, and when no one is looking, he takes off his shirt,
and becomes SUPERMAN!
Clark Kent married Lana Lang (I don't care, she's so much prettier than Lois Lane) and retired, and spent the rest of his days running around farmer fields and reliving childhood memories.

Name 3 interesting neighbors.
The German guy next door who likes to come over and borrow random stuff, though he's not interesting just weird.

What body moisturizer do you use?
I don't.

How tall are you?
1.65m on last count. Though I might have had a sudden growth spurt. I'm staying optimistic.

What toothpaste do you use?
Colgate the mass-commercialised brand (hell, I don't even know if I'm spelling it correctly). The Colgate conspiracy must be to get everybody to believe that Colgate is the only type of toothpaste cause when I was young Colgate was so common that I thought it was the actual name of toothpaste.
But Colgate's cool cause that's an alliteration. And in my sense everything that's an alliteration should be taken as a fact. Nice nat. See?
But then again Darlie rocks to cause of the cute guy on the toothpaste tube with, literally, a sparking smile. Dashing Darlie (I'm presuming that's his name) :)

What printer do you use?
hp something something I don't know cause it's with the other computer.
Do you know Newton's third law?
No, but have you ever heard of Natalie's third law? Everything that goes up must come down. Unless you're on a drug-induced high.

Have you ever had a manicure?
If painting horridly clashing colours on my toenails messily counts, then yes.

What perfume do you use?
I don't.

What sports do you play?
A wee bit of tennis.

Who is your favorite economics teacher?
Damn why is it that everything I do I get reminded that I'm in FRIGGING MEP INSTEAD OF HOME ECONS HUH. Is this a Singaporean quiz or what. Cause only in Singapore we give simple thinks like cooking and sewing cheem names like home economics. Or calling project work intergrated study options. Or calling art asthetics. And of course MUSIC-FRIGGING-ELECTIVE PROGRAMME.

Do you dare kill a cockroach?
I would eat one too if you paid me a quarter million dollars.

Your favorite fruits?
oranges green grapes AVOCADOES (I know it's not a fruit but I love it all the same)

Your favorite shoes?
No preference, really.

At least how many times do you exercise a week?
Let's see, there's PE once a week, and talking on the phone, and dashing up and down the stairs after recess, and channel-switching (which is a very struenous excercise cause you MUST get a bag of chips and a drink and go to the toilet before the commercial break ends), yakking away at my mum, so that adds up to... three days a week!

Stripes or polka-dots?
I don't know why, but I have this ugh feeling about polka dots unless they're very small.

Can you control your spending?
No. That's why we're not supposed to have credit cards right?
Do you eat a lot?
Yes.

What and how much is the most expensive item in your wardrobe?
THE WARDROBE ITSELF HAHAHA.

Artificial or au naturel?
english over french please.
Carl's Jr or McDonalds?
McDonald's cause Carl's Jr is oversized. I'm lovin' it!
More of tan or fair?
Tan.

Do you have a high metabolism rate?
Sadly, no. Which I consider to be one of the ten greatest tragedies of my life after Hilary Duff. having to play the violin and failing chinese.
Which of the 7 sins are you guilty of?
Reading in the dark, losing things, overeating, telling white lies, MURDERING SHHHH. Ok is that seven yet? Hah I'm too perfect. Either that or I can't count.
What is the hairstyle you normally sport?
A sporty hairstyle!

I feel like uploading pictures from Thursday but I haven't charged my camera yet.
I feel it essential to have at least an element of truth in my post, so here it is:
'I hate my life.'

LALALALALALALALA.

I promised to blog about tam mei, cause she blogged about me. And I was told to say something nice.

SOMETHING NICE, ttm!

Hah! I said it!

But blabbity blah. Yes we do look photogenic together. And retarded. And next year you wouldn't be in MEP any more (insert sad smiley face with a nose here) and we can no longer fall alseep while miss tsien's playing the MEP songs and try to find the answers in miss tsien's books (insert another sad smiley face with a nose here).

But at least you will satisfy your stomach in home ec and take weird pictures in the imac lab during IT!

My post was longer than yours ok! And don't give me that picture's-worth-a-thousand-words crap.

Toodle doo!

Just a thought.
Ok, so they build this very very very very VERY big shopping complex near Harbour Front, and then they get loads and loads of high end stores to rent space, and then they revolutionise the whole shopping experience by building large rooftop play pools, a waterfront promenade, the largest multiplex cinema in Singapore, and interactive water features,
and then they give it a corny name.
Like VivoCity.
What the hell is that? But of course, everything must be justified!
From their official website,
The name "VivoCity", which is derived from the word "vivacity", evokes a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality. It feels alive.
Wow, so such a weird habberbash hybrid of two totally unrelated words.
And what makes it even worse, is the stupid act-cool putting-two-words-together-with-the-first-letter-in-caps-just-two-show-that-it-is-a-mix-of-two-words-wow-isn't-that-exciting.
I swear, the Singapore town planners or name-conceptualizers must have loads of fun thinking of names that make Singaporeans look like losers.
Just when they started on the safe side with beautiful, flowery names like wisma atria (I love that name! Whatever it means. Doesn't it make you feel flowery and flimsy all over?) and Heeren (another nice name! Even though again I don't know what it means, maybe something to do with heron), they had to stray away into 'Uniquely Singapore' names!
Like Kunan Melody. No offense to whoever stays there, but I can't help but think that's the weirdest Singaporean condo name I've ever heard.

nat wong. says:
OMG

Happy birthday to our class ballet dancer, baker, chemist all at once! Try not to be so smart next year!!!!! (:

Oh yes and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF, I know I've already said that in my previous post but I'm still on the happy birthday high.

MEP today was crap I didn't even listen carefully and before I knew it it was on to the next piece and half way through tam mei's MacDonald's food came in and it was a MAJOR DISTRACTION.

And then the composition harmony part was so long and draggy that I started performing surgical pencil lead incisions on my eraser and see how long I take to dig the pencil lead out. It's good stress-relieving therapy.

TOMORROW IS LIT THEN I'LL BE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE FREE.

And then after that its holidays then the start of the new year 2007 and before I know it it will be the finals again. It's funny, the cycle we live in. It makes people go 'huh why do we always have to do this' and protest and then just live on with it because everybody's doing the same thing and EITHER YOU'RE IN, OR YOU'RE OUT'. bleh.

And can our class people VOTE SENTOSA PLEASE west coast is so crowded! SENTOSAAAAAA RHYMES WITH SAMOSA.

I'm supposed to be studying for frigging MEP now and not using the computer (by the way any one who's ever considering MEP should STOP and bang their heads 1000 times on the wall and think about 'selling your soul to the devil, in Miss Tsien's exact words), but whatever, I think I have the right to, cause

IT'S
MY
BIRTHDAY
TODAY
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY
TO
ME
I
AM
FOURTEEN
NOW
!!!!!
FOURTEEN!
I'm not going to pretend that rhymed.
I'M FOURTEEN FOURTEEN FOURTEEN not unlucky thirteen but FOURTEEN doesn't FOURFOURFOUR have a nice classy ring to it?
I just can't get enough of it, I'M FOURTEEN FOURRRRRRTEEN!
Ok off to studying MEP now. I still have practically the whole of the 600+ pages left, plus some dinky things about indian and chinese music.
Bah.

Happiness is being content with what you have getting the geog paper over and done with.

Liz: Wehhhh! I spelt the Semakau in Pulau Semakau wrongly!
Sze, ever the optimistic: Well maybe they'll give you marks for the Pulau!

One down, 8? more to go.

But it feels great when annoying primary-schoolers scream every time they hear the thunder, or walk past the classroom talking and you go SHUSH! in this very loud voice and you hear them suddenly hush up and scramble forward and you don't feel mean at all but you feel a sense of SELF-JUSTIFICATION because after all it's exams and everybody has special rights during the exams.

SPECIAL EXAM RIGHTS!

You get to, besides the above,

1. Crush up unused foolscap paper in front of your environment-activist geog teacher
2. Tap your pen LOUDLY in impatience
3. Move your chair forwards and backwards to create screechy sounds
4. Ask for more paper even though you don't need it
5. Ask for the time every 30 seconds
6. Hide cheat sheets in your calculator to 'test' the stringency of checking for cheating
7. Sigh very loudly every time the teacher announces how much time you have
8. Sigh even louder whenever the teacher says there's some mistake in the question that you have to correct (what, waste my time to answer the questions)
9. Clear your throat. A lot.
10. And a personal favourite of mine:
Wait until the teacher's on the opposite side of the room, and then ask for one sheet of paper. And when she walks over, say

'I'm sorry, but I think I need another sheet'

And make her walk all the way back to get another for you. And rinse and repeat every single time (which will probably be less than two times, unless your teacher's an idiot).

Now that's a true classic.

It's your right! It's your entitlement!

Don't you love the feeling of empowerment?
