this year has been one of the most significant years of my life. so many important things have happened, so I just thought that I'll list them down here, since I'm too lazy to actually write them down somewhere to remember. so in order of when they popped into my head: O'levels. Moving house, significant since I've lived there for 10 years. Getting 2 dogs. 1 dog dying. First time I stayed over at a chalet. First time my friends came over to stay at my house. Getting my own room. Getting a fireplace. (I know everyone's too nice to tell me I'm crazy for doing this,even if it was my mum's idea in the first place, I just encouraged her. But let's face it, who doesn't want their own fireplace????) Learning how to play mahjong. Getting braces. and.... yeah,I think that's about everything. I hope everyone had a fun time staying over, come and do it again soon!! oh and apparently O'level results are coming out on 10th January. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY...

so yeah, I just don't know what is it with people and picking at scabs. everytime we get a scab, we just have to pick and pick at it till it comes off, even if it's painful. you know you'll have thought that after years of that, I'll know enough not to do it again but nooooo, I don't, and now my foot is bleeding again. I mean it's not just me right? everyone does it too right? Right?
Merry Christmas everyone! and if I were you, I wouldn't visit my friend's house at 12+ in the morning and start playing guitar hero or something and singing. because their parents and grandparents might be sleeping, but their sister might still be up and complaining about you on her blog. I'm just saying. it's not like I would mind GOOD singing. actually I think they might be drunk.
so my new fireplace came today! gorgeous isn't it? and now that empty space in my room looks like this: yes,that's my fat ass armchair. now all I'm missing is a bedside table, which is going to be delivered soon,maybe a side table for the armchair,a lamp,a clock and stuff to decorate my fireplace with. and I still have yet to complete that stupid 1000 piece puzzle. it's not entirely my fault, there are missing pieces, I swear.
I finally watched The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader today. it was quite good, if a bit short, and I enjoyed the effects. since it's been at least five years since I last read the book, I only vaguely remember the story, but I'm sure some parts were definitely different. Skandar Keynes, who plays Edmund, is all grown up now, and, in my opinion, has gotten pretty cute. I don't know how he did it, but Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian, is all hot now. he looks so much better in this movie than in the Prince Caspian movie. I have no idea how he changed so much. a new hairstyle? well at least his new facial hair suits him. but then again, he still looks great without it. (look,sorry for the over size pictures but for some reason,I couldn't resize them) the only thing I have never liked about the Narnia series is that Aslan always gives them way too much help. but well, I guess they are just ordinary(sort of) kids.
went ice skating yesterday! couldn't go in as early as I wanted to, because there was a fire drill. but it was really fun! especially after the ice was resurfaced. however, I really think some ground rules need to be laid. some people are just so rude,oblivious and ignorant. I mean, if everyone around you is skating in one direction, obviously you don't go and skate in the OPPOSITE direction right? and stupid little kids using the metal helper, don't think that makes you invincible so you can go speeding around with no regard for other people around you. and if out of 4 people, only one of you can skate, then don't freaking all link hands and try to skate! what the heck. and can't people keep out of the centre of the rink? even I feel bad for the figure skaters who are just trying to practice. and I bought a winter jacket! I swear I'm totally going to wear it every single day I'm in Japan.
WOHOO!! my trip to japan has finally been confirmed!! my mum booked the tour today and we're mostly going to be in the Tohoku region, wherever that is, the good point: SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW SNOW the bad point:only getting to spend about one and a half days in Tokyo before the flight back to Singapore so there's little time to shop!!! I think I'm going on the 8th of January? somewhere around there, I'll be gone for a week, so hopefully O'level results aren't out before I come back. I wish O'level results would never come out.
Good morning! I'm up early today! surprised? you should be, because as you know, I hate waking up early, and feel that waking up before 12 voluntarily during the holidays is a crime. but I think I should come clean first. the reason I'm awake, is because I haven't slept yet. yes,that's right, I've been up the entire night. I really need to break this bad habit of mine. sleeping so late at night that it's early in the morning, then waking up the next day just in time for an early dinner. I want to sleep and wake up early, I do! but I get carried away when I'm watching dramas/manga/youtube videos etc. basically whenever I'm on the computer. then don't use the computer at night! yeah,but I don't like using the computer during the day, because I think it's a waste of time or daylight, whatever. which is weird I know. and no, I'm not going to give up on using the computer. ah well, hopefully I'll snap out of it before school starts next y...
I love the fact that this blogskin doesn't have an archives so people can't go back and read my past posts because they were so absolutely horrible and immature that even I cringed with horror while rereading them. but I guess it doesn't matter now,since I've just spent the last hour deleting more than half of my original posts. I scraped my leg against the rubber matting at the playground on sunday while on the swing trying to retrieve my slipper on the ground without getting off,or stopping the swing, something I'm sure we've all tried before. so I failed,and ended with some cuts,which I thought were pretty minor and would heal soon because the skin just came out. however,they got even worse and are now red,swollen,infected and still oozing pus. I can't even walk properly, and they seriously look disgusting. it's just as well that I don't have a job. I hope they recover soon!
went to the choir farewell party yesterday and got a free piece of paper!! I guess it's easier for me to feel happy about choir when the members aren't surrounding me and pissing me off. but honestly, I'm very grateful to choir( some teachers yes, our dear scary conductor, maybe some members),more like you know, as a whole, a cca? something like that anyway. after all, it was choir that allowed me to escape from the hellhole known as Deyi NPCC. I know that I've been quite vocal about my dislike of NPCC, and after four years, I think I'm mature enough to safely say that I STILL HATE THEIR GUTS. but who knows,maybe 20 years down the road I'll look back and laugh at the good old days in NPCC, remembering all the wonderful memories and lasting bonds of friendship forged there. to quote Simin, MY ASS. oh by the way, the time stated at the top of the posts are real, so I am actually typing this at 1am and the one before was really at 4+ in the morning. people who like...
so today I finally caved in and decided to watch Hana Yori Dango, but only because Matsuda Shota's in it,and I've nothing else to watch. well, I tried, really, I tried. but about halfway through the third episode, I honestly couldn't take it anymore it is just Too. Freaking.Predictable. and I know lots of dramas are too, and you can pretty much guess the endings, but, I JUST CAN'T STAND IT. usually, if the drama is good, I'll still watch it to the end, even though I already know the ending. but with this drama,even Shota couldn't make me continue (although if he's the main character, then that's another story) this is just like Nagareboshi. I only started watching it because of Shota. but since he's only a minor character, I didn't see any point in watching beyond the first episode. why? because I already knew exactly how the entire story would pan out, and it was going to be another one of those typical long whiny irritating romance dramas. you ...
my very own sunflower!!! it's big and bright and beautiful! or, it was..... but it's dead now.at least it lasted a week or two. the lotus flower! but it wilted after 1-2 days my adorable dogs rest in peace Happy, I hope you're happy now, wherever you are.... Rein! isn't he just the cutest, most handsome dog you've ever seen? my baby twin brothers! they're not identical, but they seriously look so alike in this picture ...
O'LEVELS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!!! I felt so relieved and happy when the answer paper was finally taken out of my hand, but now I just feel so aimless. it's always so much more fun slacking off when you're supposed to studying. but then, I guess it always will be not that I miss the days before O'levels or anything, I am positively ecstatic that it's over but enough of that, I am now going to address the very serious question of why i shut down my blog for several months. actually, I was dealing with some personal problems and serious issues in my life just then and I just felt too depressed to continue blogging anymore. as to the problems, I won't say much, but for those who know, I really thank you for all the support and encouragement that you've given me these past few months,it's been so hard for me and I couldn't have made it without you guys. just joking. no seriously, did you actually believe I had some "deep, dark, secret problem"? it...
went to the anime festival today. or rather,yesterday, seeing as it's already past twelve. the highlight of the day was the unexpected visit to Hershey's Chocolate world. freaking giant bars of chocolate and Hershey's kisses stacked everywhere, how could I resist???? the only problem is, WHY ARE THERE NO GIANT BARS OF THE COOKIES AND CREAM CHOCOLATE?????? the giant bars of chocolate only come in milk or dark chocolate,which,granted, is delicious as well, but still, WHITE CHOCOLATE(if you're about to write some stupid comment about how white chocolate isn't really chocolate, shut up) yes, the anime festival was a disappointment. oh, and you may have noticed that I no longer have a tagboard. HAH. too bad, I hate tagboards, just that I succumbed to peer pressure and got one the last time, but no longer, DOWN WITH TAGBOARDS AND VAPID SHALLOW TAGS, if you got something to say about my post, tell me personally or write a freaking comment, except that i just realized that ...
this is going to be my last post. i'm officially going to close down this blog on my birthday for an indefinite period of time. so i may re-open it after O'levels. that aside, you will never guess what i heard on the bus today. this girl was trying to seduce her sister's BOYFRIEND. she was chatting on her hand phone, and her side of the conversation was something like this: her: come on, go out with me! *pause* her: what if my sister is jealous? never mind one, my sister and i the relationship very good *pause* (i can't remember some parts, but the last part went like this): her: just go out lah, she( her friend, i'm assuming) won't tell one, this will be our three person secret remember?.......secret remember? so ok ar? i have no idea why she suddenly started spouting the " 3 person secret"thingy, i almost started laughing at that point because the way she speaks is really weird, her voice is shrill and harsh and her choice of words? Hilarious. one of...
funny how i never noticed that vincent is such a common name... i mean, i know a vincent, my eldest brother knows a vincent, my dad knows a vincent, when i was walking back from tuition today, i overheard this guy talking on his phone about a vincent! i absolutely can not and must not read any new books during week days. why? because i get so absorbed in the book that i can't do anything else until i've finished reading it. especially detective and romance novels. detective novels because i really want to find out who did it and how, and romance novels because even though i know the two main characters WILL be getting together at the end of the book, i just have to keep reading till the end to make sure that they DO get together. and i refuse to simply read the ending instead. because i like not knowing the ending till the end, even if it renders me completely useless because i can't stop reading. also, i find that i have this habit of simply ignoring grammatical and spelli...
my handphone is fine already! i can actually reply messages now.... amath test today was horrible, i didn't manage to finish the paper, i have to find a super hero/cartoon character for class theme........... no comment. AND THERE'S SOCIAL STUDIES TEST TOMORROW. are we really supposed to memorize 5 paragraphs of crap information???
*outraged scream* what's with the monoshitsuji??? i mean, what is even the point of making a second season of kuroshitsuji if Sebastian and Ciel are not in it? HOW COULD THEY DO THIS??? on a happier note, chinese new year is coming!!!! i can't for all the gorging, gambling and money!!! it's past 12am now but i don't feel sleepy because i slept 5 hours in the afternoon...
argh, i will RESIST. i WILL. I WILL. i will not start watching those 2 new dramas even though i can. I WILL NOT. i will......i will NOT. i will only watch them during the march holidays!!! but wait, i vaugely rememer promising myelf not to watch them till afer o'levels..... ........................ HMMM.....
what a fruitful day..... i finally got my braces done! the braces are light blue, and according to my dentist, my teeth are gonna hurt like hell tomorrow.... i did enough shopping to last me the year. actually, i only bought 4 new tops, but sneer/ roll your eyes all you want, that's all i actually need, since it's not like my social calendar is packed or anything. as for my tuition calendar, that's another story. Warning: Rant Ahead i want to know if i look like the kind of person who stalks people and mug them in dark alleys, since there have been quite a lot of times when all i'm doing is walking behind a person, minding my own business, when suddenly,they spin around and shoot me a suspicious look. yes, i admit i don't make a lot of noise when i walk, but so what? why the heck would anyone stalk people? and why do some people feel the need to glance behind them at random times to check out the people behind them? do they honestly believe that they are that attrac...
life's settled down, it's as if we never stopped going to school..... i still feel dumb during maths, physics, and chemistry class since i seem to be the only one incapable of looking at a question and immediately knowing exactly how to go about solving it. also, the amaths qualifying test is next wednesday, but aside from all that, no worries. i got a new handphone, but still have no idea how to send a simple sms with it. i'm going to the dentist tomorrow to extract 2 more teeth, and next week i'll be getting my braces. stupid flu bug. i feel really tired and irritated now, and i really want to punch someone. and my voice has gone almost one octave lower, so i sound just like my older brothers. but the worse part about the week is that i never got to make and gourge on my fat sticky super chocolately brownies!!!!
OMG SCHOOL
i have just spent what, 4 hours? writing 2 book reviews and 1 book talk. yes, i admit that it's my fault for procrastinating so much, but i still think forcing us to write book reviews is pointless. especially for non-fiction books. don't get me wrong, i actually liked the non-fiction book i read. but, come on, 400 words???? i could write it in 40 freaking words!!!! Title of book: The best i could by Subhas Anandan This book is partly an autobiography of Subhas Anandan, a well known criminal lawyer. It also contains information on infamous cases he has taken on. It is interesting and i recommend people interested in law to read it. there, 38 words, not including the title, count it yourself. see what i mean? the other 360 words were basically the same thing written again and again differently. i was literally sitting at my dining table at 2am flipping through the thesaurus looking for 5 other words with the same meaning as 'interesting' and 'good' since i'd...
