another one of those many days.i suddenly found chemistry a little difficult.
quite surprising in fact.
i find physics so much easier than chemistry now.
ahhh-
i cant be bothered.
anyway.
today i had an extra bit of tuition from my uncle.
and now i can FINALLY understand surds and log.
kudos to my brainy uncle!
hes a little wishy washy and tends to go out of point but i get what he says.
plus.
hes from RI!
as in Raffles Institution.
and he remembers LOADS of stuff.
like log 2 is 0.4771 ;
and log 3 is 0.3010 ;
he knows Newton's Laws of Motion by heart.
and he can prove all the laws of logarithm!
now i see how come the older generations find us lazy.
they used to have log books and all sorts of tables.
they even go into detail.
inspirational.
uh huh.
=D
anyway.
after tuition i went to pick up my CPU.
i sent it for repair because it gives off that irritating TOOOOOOOOOOO sound eveytime i turn it on and the screen doesnt start up.
but when the mechanist connected my CPU to HIS monitor,
NOTHING HAPPENED.
infuriating.
my arms ache so much from carrying it to and fro.
the lady boss of the shop actually said that perhaps the RAM was in a wrong position or something could be wrong with it.
i just ignored it anyway..
i'm not aspiring to become a computer genius or something.
...
as long as it works,
im fine with it.
like now!
=D
im using it.
but that lady boss meant well.
ahahahs.
my schedule tml is packed.
and my mum and aunt forbids me to step into school.
...
and i guess i wont be able to attend the rehearsal tml.
hmmmm.
i dont know.
=\

wooh.i wonder what kind of fashion statement art directors want to make these days.
like the upcoming movie Superman.
he's like so. out.
yet some director and sponsor actually took up the initiative to make a movie out of this marvel animated cartoon.
but this character is one of its kind.
you can't exactly modify its style and character and expect the audience to like it.
like for example, a superman without his undies outside wouldnt be called superman.
or a superman with a mohawk would look absolutely crazy.
unlike wolverine from X men.
he looks awful in that yellow and blue outfit in the animated series.
yet he turned out to be really awesome and good looking in the movie.
so the guy who actually drew superman is BRILLIANT.
even though you won't find any guy on the street with smooth silky hair to be eye catching these days ;
this man with his retro gelled down hair and his red underwear outside sure make heads turn.
i realised the producers are going all out to advertise the movie.
all bus stops from sengkang to hougang are lined up with HUGE posters of the man.
i admit, i spare this poster a few seconds of my life each time i pass it.
but hey.
no harm right.
that guy looks nice anyway.
=x
my sis went out to play gooseberry today.
=D
she went shopping with my bro and his gf.
she woke up really early today.
like 7.59 am.
and she woke me up at 11 just to make me serve her breakfast.
then my irritating brother called me just to ask me to give my sis something to eat.
and my mum calls soon after to remind me to get my sis to gobble down some breakfast.
...
MY PRECIOUS SLEEP.
but i guess my sis had fun.
she came back with 3 storybooks from the series Madison Finn.
ahahahs.
xD
and i was at home cleaning the windows.
pathetic.
all that dust has made my eyes red and sore.
ughhh-
i can't wait to go overseas this sat.
=D

hoho.my com is REPAIRED!
hooray`
anyway.
i've modified my desktop theme.
and it looks vintage.
probably because i didnt use the XP version.
i used the themes used in windows 98.
and now i cant be bothered to change it to something else.
now i understand how tiring it can be to personalise your own computer.
=)
ah. anything.
nowadays i feel very exhausted at night.
and my mood goes real low when the clock hits 2100 ;
i know somedays can be really horrid.
especially when i feel terrible and can't seem to pour it out.
even now.
i find my sister stupid.
shes screaming at the top of her voice for no effing reason.
and my mum just has to talk to me when i'm vacuuming the floor.
obviously i cant hear her on top of all the noise.
and she gladly repeats it at the top of her voice too.
i can't stand all this noise.
and i think all this seems to frustrate me even more.
and even when im busy venting on this entry,
my mum just has to nag me.
so i need to strangle someone or something.
i can't possibly go to some idiot on the street and say: ' OI, want to die?'
or something like that lahs.
ughhh-
im so sick of my family all of a sudden.
so tired of this life.
why can't adults just leave us alone.
=(

hoos.wonderful night.
=)
anyway.
i havent had much time to come online the past few days.
ytd i had intensive tuition for physics and a little a maths.
its something like a non stop thing.
all the way from 11 a.m to 6 in the evening without a break ;
cool huh.
my uncle managed to cover all 7 chapters ok.
and i understood everything;
i think i wont have any problems with my physics holiday assignment.
=)
i've to go over for a little bit more a maths tuition tml.
busy busy-
=D
then after this week,
IM GOING TO KL!
shopping sprees await me!'
delightful.
heheh.
and now,
im going to get ready to go for band.
=)
now i understand.
i didnt use to let some psychic control my future.
i plan my own.
;)

i've spent two days at home with my sis and my dog.nothing much to do actually.
so i went blog hopping.
=)
like honestly.
i've never felt so dumb in my life.
because after hopping around, i linked all the way back to my previous blog.
its still up! because i didnt take it down.
and i guess.
its still the same
.everything hasnt actually changed,
from past to present ; and perhaps from present to future.
and i suppose i've been brooding over little misfortunes too much.
joy from contentment.
i don't think i 've mastered this 3 word phrase.
but i'm learning.
and i think this world would become a better place if everyone masters it too.
and perhaps i would become a much more cheerful person than i am now.
ok ; honestly.
its VERY difficult to satisfy my cravings and desires.
xD
come to think of it.
maybe it is right of my mum to keep me at home this holiday.
maybe.
hahas.

well.guess what ;
whatever you're reading here is typed using notepad and copied and pasted onto a blank blog entry.
i've totally given up on typing straight into blogger.
just in case my computer suddenly decides to sleep and close all my windows; like 3 hours back
..
i typed an extremely long entry and all it had to do was for a popup to INFORM me that the computer was facing technical difficulties and had to shut down all its programmes running.
what a considerate computer.
i wonder what bill gates was thinking of.
...
anyway.
my previous attempt to type something into this blog was about the trip to malaysia.
perhaps i just got to do it all over again.
=)
that day was rather pleasant ;
apart from the waking up part and brushing my teeth thing, everything else went smoothly.
my mood was pretty wild early in the morning, considering the fact that i didnt eat my breakfast,
i wondered where all that energy came from,
oh wth.
i slept on two bus journeys afterwards.
our first stop was at a 'foodcourt'.
well.
honestly,
when you say FOODCOURT, you think of pretty dining tables, plastic chairs, air conditioned surroundings and a spacious canteen.
but what we experienced wasnt really much like it.
hahahs.
what was most disappointing was that we had to get up the bus before my bowl of malan noodles was served.
there went my very last hope of having a hot breakfast.
=(
i gave up and gobbled down the bun they distributed in the morning instead of keeping it for teabreak or something.
and then we went to the pineapple museum ; also known as muzium nanas.
i mean like . HELLO.
extreme heat.
dusty building.
strange tongue.
the heat was extreme and that guy just had to tell us ALL about those pineapples grown in pots and their origin.
whats funny was that our tour guide, who was also the translator, actually repeated EVERYTHING that man said.
he was trying to talk in our language.
WHATS THE USE.
she might as well let him use a loudspeaker and speak to us directly when we can already understand his VERY SHALLOW english.
duh.//
and then the dusty building.
the moment i stood inside the building for like 5 seconds, i started sneezing.
[my nose is extremely sensitive to dust.]
AND.
half of the museum's explanatory information was in malay.
woohoo- read what crap.
so after everyone managed to taste their pineapples, visit the toilet to let it out again, we moved on to kukup.
kukup is a fishing village.
and i suppose its the highlight of this trip.
i was a little delighted, considering the fact that i was one step closer to that seafood lunch we were told about.
we took a boat ride to one of those fish farms suspended on stilts in the middle of the sea.
the ride was rather cooling, the breeze seemed to cover up for that heat the sun was pouring on us.
whats weird was, the distance between the jetty and the farm was short and that uncle just had to make a big u turn before reaching it.
but oh, who cares.
its fun!
its a hard-to-come-by chance of being so near to the sea waters.
the sea creatures reared in the farm were all rather large, and expensive.so they introduced the animals.
and then there was this miniature shark that yuean held;
the guy said that it couldnt kill, but it can bite.
like UH HUH....
whats the diff?
it still threatens the safety of human life.
but yuean seem to have overlooked that little detail because she had loads of fun with it in her palms.
lol.
well.
at least the sea urchin was different.
its SUPPOSED to hurt but it did not.
so its safe.
=D
there was also this skinny dog that the farm kept.
it was a brilliant, sterillised mixed breed.
thing was, i couldnt figure out what sort of breed his papa and mama was.
then we made another u turn back to the jetty on the boat.
TA DA!
**************
SEAFOOD LUNCH.
**************
we had an 8 course meal.
and i particularly loved the steamed fish.
probably because they didnt steam it with heaps of ginger like my mum always does it.
and we found out an 'amazing' fact about mr foo.
HE WAS ALLERGIC TO CRABS.
lol.
the 2 big eaters on our table was non other than chengyi and yongli.
their plates were full of all sorts of shells.mussel shells, crab shells and prawn shells.
obviously,after eating all these seafood we had to wash our hands.
and guess what.
theresa made it straight into the guy's bathroom to use the basin.
hahahs.
fortunately ;
there wasnt any guy in the toilet.
hilarious.
after lunch, we wandered along the stalls back to our bus.they sold lots of things that singapore has banned.
we bought those pop seeds that contained gunpowder which 'blasts' under slight pressure.
then we popped all of it on the road.
some of us bought pirated vcds.
HEHEH.
there was this porn vcd that was titled shes the man or something similar to it.
that title is the title of the latest movie in cinemas right-
hahahs.
i think someone wanted to purchase it and that girl quickly kept it away.
lol.
hoho.
so we boarded the bus and made our way to our third destination ; tanjung piai.
the guide said that if we completed the 2km wooden walkway, we would reach the southern most point of mainland asia.
so we did.
the breeze was extremely strong, just the thing to cool us from the sweltering heat.
we hung around the area for quite a while before making our way back.i think that marked the end of the trip.
we then made our way back to the checkpoint.
but we stopped at the petrol station a few hundred metres away from the checkpoint for a toilet break.
i bought 2 cups of DELICIOUS CUPCORN!
wahahahas.
i remembered all the ingredients they used to season the corn!
HEHEH.
yuean ate icecream.
then we got passed both the checkpoints including the singapore one with the bubblegum and pirated vcds in our bag.
hahahs.
HOORAY.
after getting back to school, which was so stupid because the bus could have alighted everyone of us at compass point,we went to compass point.
STUPID.
we had our dinner at the foodcourt.
and then we hung around for a while before going home.
OK . not a while.
sam, yuean, pohyih and theresa were engaging in kiddo games at the bus interchange.
lol.
yuean missed ONE of her bus because she didnt bring her ezlink card and we didnt have time to lend her coins.
and we missed ONE bus because we decided to keep her company too.
hahahas.
so they kept playing.
every game they played revolved around scissors, paper and stone.
its interesting how humans manage to come up with so many kinds of games with slightly different rules with the same 3 hand signs.
anyway.
we got home in the end.
and instead of crossing the road and taking a bus 74 home, i walked.
i was stupid ok.
i spooked my own self all the way back by taking an 'ooo luu' road home.
and when i got home and showed my mum the vcds i bought, she smacked me aside and watched them.
LIKE HEY.
I JUST WANT TO VENT LAHS! @#$%^&*().
RAWR-
so yeah.
i just went to bed and sleep.
hahahs.
it was pretty memorable.
wonderful weather.
OK.
not so wonderful.
but at least it didnt rain.
=)
great companions.
MAGNIFICENT FOOD-
what more can you expect?
hahahs.
x))

i havent posted for a long time now, have i?=)
my sister is running a temperature and i skipped one bloody band practice for that.
oh my.
shes so weird ;
her temperature fluctuates according to the time.
it'll drop every 4 hours and rise again after two.
know why?
HEHEH.
because she takes her medicine every 4 hours.
alright.
thats pretty dumb.
and i realised that burnol cream works wonders.
;)
its antiseptic. nothing more.
if you get it.
anyway.
i think i'm going to avoid the theme park in singapore for a period of time.
partly because of the intolerable splitting headache i get after 3 mindblowing rides.
i guess im just not meant to be a person who loves thrills that much.
hahas.
and also because of their realy irritating background music.
the songs have too much rhythm that it gets on my nerve alot.
if you havent noticed,
every song seem to have the same beats that go thump thump thump.
and its like SO loud.
i cant stand it.
ok.
i can't understand how humans manage to invent such weird machines that make people throw up.
=/
back to real life.
i'm going for that kukup trip in malaysia tml.
i wonder if anything wrong would crop up to spoil my day.
weird huh.
thinking of mishaps before good tidings.
hahahas.
but its just a mere comment.
ignore it lahs.
=)
its been a while since i got in touch with what i really wanted from life.
and now its time to get back to that.
=D
happy holidays people!
