Today has been a bad day. went back home, left my file and some papers with my phone as a paper on the ledge...and off they slipped into the garter filled with smelly water. There went all my notes and my phone or rather, my mum's phone went with it. Now i cant even turn on the thing to get my contacts....AGAIN. nvm the notes, they can be press dried, i thought. Then i went to make noodles for lunch. Leaving the pot to boil, i went back to my phone to fiddle with my phone and fell asleep. Who ever said to not leave your boiling pots unattended? I was rudely awakened by my brother who shouted, "oei, your mee burnt already!". I jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen only to see the dried up mess in the pot and the noxious fumes of burnt food. BLEAH!. and i had to throw everything away cos it was jus too unpalatable :( and the pot had so much carbon stuck to it that the sink turned into a pool of herbal jelly when i poured away the waste water...tch. as if being told that having no SAT scores was not bad enough, i had to have such misfortune. blah! now where am i going to get a new phone?!?!? T_T

Contrary to my PW findings, it's getting increasingly harder to get Singaporeans involved in the arts...i think wadever glimmer of hope that the arts had existed has been distilled somewhere. First it's the discrimination against arts students. jus becos "the arts has not been a pressing issue during the evolutionary history of Singapore", and that it is not considered a pillar of our economy? Then, look at the number of people that u can actually get to go for a performance...first NJ drama night. It was jus depressing looking at the sales performance of ONE night. absolutely abysmal. Wadever happened to support for the other CCAs and your own school? Is it jus NJ?.... Even when u ask the alumni members to go for a drama performances issues as trivial as price get brought up. Perhaps being part of the dependent population we do have financial limitations imposed on us but what is a few meals compared 4 years of education provided by the school, if not the efforts that the teachers have put in for the graduating year?? And wad nonsense is there that "I cant understand nothing." There's nothing to understand. There can be many many intepretations to a subject. There's really no need to tink hard and deep to achieve a sublime understanding of what is going on on stage. Jus go and and enjoy the sensual stimulus and not resist that multitude of emotions that overwhelm you. Art is not only for socialites and so-called classy people, is it? At the very least there's the effort put in by every member of the production to make the show possible to go on. The teamwork and immense effort is unimaginable. It's jus as though as training for any sport and competing in it. IF people can appreciate football, why is it so hard to accept orchestras and theatre?


TT Durai's scandal and GP. wad's new nowadays? Nothing really surprises me anymore. UKapps are closing soon. All those interested in UK Universities please do see ot the procedures for applications. Why is everything going at a breakneck speed? The world is making it SO tough to have an education. Even though there are not enough resources, i dont think that there's enough information for the school population . perhaps it's jus the release of information. I dont know but i do know that there are many people interested in overseas educations but are not doing anything about it jus becos they dont know where to start. Jus like me. boo hoo.

Dear blog,

It has been another fine day. Up till now that is. My dear brother went on to reformat the computer without checking with me if i have backed-up my files. So here i am, confiding in you that i only have 16-colour screen without any sound and without all my important documents, contacts(since secondary school) and photos. I can try and recover the first 2 items but wad about the photos? I may never get to see them again!

I suppose it's time i take my brother in hand. Shall start with taking away the 2 WC3 CDs before he starts installing them and the internet password as well. I wont bother to save the password whenever i log on to confide in you. He should use this time to really study for his prelims and O levels, instead of indulging in online gaming since the moment he returns home from school. It's for his own good, you know. Love hurts.
