1. I procrasinate drawing (this was due on 14/01)
2. I can't draw a decent fairy
3. My most fairy-like fairies are those blue and pink things.
4. R says they look like butterflies with stunted human bodies (!)
5. There are no male fairies but I still draw them.
6. Can you even tell that the central thing is a female fairy?
7. The wings are placed too low on her body
8. THE HANDS SUCK I KNOW I KNOW ):
9. Her legs are sticking out at the wrong places
10. The rose she is holding looks like poop on a satay stick to the general unemotional population.

DISMAL DISMAL I shall go and die now.

I feel optimistic, and happy even though my listed weekend homework spills out of the daily column in the organizer. Because hollyhoque released a super chio new collection; I didn't get caught for not doing my tutorials because i didn't have math lessons AT ALL THIS WEEK :D; I met Felicia Chin at cold storage with weilin & bravo annies who ran after her while I cowered at the fruit juices compartments; melted cheese binges with wooytie and my classmates at LJS; because laulau is back at school and I get to witness a certain bio teacher's extreme affection for my male classmate. What reason is there not to be happy?

OH YES THERE IS: Interval training. I haven't been flushed like this for a whole year already and even when I run thinking that I'm going to trip and fall on my face and every step continually whacks at my pathetic lung capacity, I still make under 2 minutes on the clock but my bloody heart rate is ONLY 136 wtfwtf. I got my head pounding and muscle aches to look forward to and I still miss the 142 training rate?!?!

Maybe my heart is like naturally calm or something. smiles smugly at everyone with palpitating hearts and sweaty palms

I can feel one of those metal brackets on my upper right molar going loose, but I LIKE GUAVAS SO VERY MUCHLY! and weikai is already on his retainers!

Slept at 2AM the past two days primarily because I was headed for the flower patch everyday after school, pushed pebbles into the soil, wrote in the back of the organizer (now you know where to raid) for as long as the sun took to set, for reasons that elude myself, maybe for somebody or some things. Then headed home via the back way, put dinner into my tum, walked around the house with the phone to my ear and only started writing my CWE at 11PM. Which turned out to be a horrible piece of work because I ended it "abruptly", as tuyan comments, in an effort to go to sleep early. Early being 2.15AM, after going on MSN and finding nobody but a few owls.

Dickson went said he was going offline and disconnected me! Okay he didn't, it's just my computer. Now he's asking me school related q



Stopped writing cos I had to go out to dinner. Had pepper lunch for the first time with squaddies at taka after cny celebrations yesterday and unleashed my inner noob onto yueting's food by cooking it for her and leaving the middles of the chicken raw. Yeah, thats me, the next martha stewart. Then I dragged the poor things to go shopping for a wallet with me and saw some pretty ones at rafflescity that i might go back to get.

Met laulau at the library today and looked through her photos of the HC Science camp thingy on her new phone. So prettay! I also want a new phone gee (: But I can't seem to find any pretty ones by nokia and SE so I might be veering toward LG gags at memory of first phone.

Life in a half mess now, rapidly growing backlog of work and still CNY to go, people to keep in touch with, with things like enunciation and speed of thought to improve on, and thank goodness, jokes to laugh at (:

Holiday friends
retreat back into the photo albums they came from
the december sun
could only hold so much in its embrace,
and has shied away
behind looming school buildings
and its charges.

Sand pulled like a rug from under your feet
then returned to the shore, and
children, not unlike us, frolicking in the sea
mouths engulfed by
slow, large, foamy waves bringing
the salt
that gatecrashed your words,
framed the corners of your smile;
but the aftertaste left
_______________your
tastebuds; expectations; perspectives
never the same.

We all want to get kissed in the rain,
lie in the grass
and catch planes with our fingertips
_______onto
___jump____lilypads
and walk to the end of a rainbow

time and again
only to find the pot of gold
is on the other side
and the rainbow,

vanished.

Hi you people who read but never comment (unless someone is playing with the counter), I fell asleep in bio lab last week, woke late and missed the anniversary celebrations altogether, called my history teacher the wrong name and I've only been to two days of formal school this week.

Not to mention the stack of notes that I am told that I have to lug around everyday, and I am not very excited about lab because i suck at drawing every kind of table other than the real one. sighs loudly why did I not take humanities?

All this note-reading and hour forty lab sessions better land me somewhere earning big bucks tsk.

I'm sorry you guys (sqdmates and leong who organised the movie outing) cos I left my phone home and went to my aunt's house to eat like every kind of cny cookie that left me feeling a whole lot better, never mind that I'm prolly flabby all over already :)

I would like to thank: Hester Geraldine Eileen Jun Yi Jhosy Winata Lydia Rachael Kaylene Tu Yan Dong Qi Tie Hong, especially ANGHUISHAN & MS. LOO ; everybody who helped or attempted to help with my atrociously bad chinese these whole four years because

I HAVE PASSED MY O LEVELS HCL WITH SUPER HAPPY YELLOW BANANA COLOURS! In the omg-now-i-really-have-to-jump-over-the-moon way.

Be it offering your chinese spelling answers within my eyespan, patiently explaining to me the meaning of the commonest four word phrase ever, reading out the compre questions to me, constantly telling me what every blardy term in zonghetiankong meant (tiehong!) or just forwarding your completed duhougan to me, my chinese intellect has apparently grown under all ye gracious tutelage and I haven't forgotten (:

ANGHUISHAN Thanks for trying to and successfully communicating to me in chinese, you have been a great help I never expected to have, and reading the shaonianwenzhai magazine so enthusiastically (haha now everybody knows!) so that I have the motivation to look at the captions below the pictures for every issue. Thanks a mil for giving me the-chinese-mood before the papers cos the relief teacher couldn't do shit to help me :D

MS. LOO Everybody says you've been slacky and you probably burnt all our zuowens that you never returned to us but I think you are fantastic. Thanks for simply looking at my essays from another perspective and letting me know my chinese was not a lost cause (: You have no idea how much it helped compared to the feedback i had from my other chinese teachers narrows eyes. I am glad I went for the last year of chinese remedials (yes darlings i've been on the list for chinese remedial since the first week of sec 1, i think i've got the gold membership already) cos I learnt so much more there than during class.

Well people, this has marked the end of my academic chinese life and no, I am not making forays into this area of study any time soon.

I think I did it.

I found the dress that will "take me through a date, a work meeting, a girls' night out and a tea session with the Queen of England" :D It's imported from London because my mom thinks Londoners dress very sophisticatedly and sensibly. It's black with a pleated bottom and two cute faux straps at the waist with big white cloth buttons. And it matches the beautiful necklace laulau gifted me! The only thing I dont quite like about it is that it's sleeveless. Otherwise it would be perfect. (:

Anyways I went to Raffles Town Club: The Dunearn Ballroom sometime back for my gorgeous model cousin's wedding and I loved the place + service! They had cute guys handing out drinks and serving the food ehhe. Nat and I took pictures with the Edward Room and Victoria Room HAHAH. We attended the cocktail reception, but before that my sisters followed the wedding entourage around for the photo shoot and two huge lunch buffets while I was earning moolah -.- Chelsea is the flower girl for this wedding, along with another cute little boy in a tux and they got to throw rose petals!

Their whole wedding theme was amazing. The organizers did up a wedding poster that resembled the "Coming Soon" billboards in theatres right outside the door, which was really impressive. Typical nine-course dinner and souvenirs aside, I loved every single one of her gowns and I would like one with a corset! The toilet at the Club is so grand, the sinks area is bigger than the size of my bedroom with marble tiling, huge ceiling-to-floor mirrors and gold autotaps with autosoap. Good for camwhoring i say ;)

Squad chalet was like well, all the squad chalets in previous years. Just a whole lot cosier and uh picked up loads of card games this time round thanks to leong who kept jumping in clarine's face to ask her to play bridge. Tried my hand at barbequeing chicken wings and lets just say they didn't turn out very nice so I decided to stick to buttering everything and leave the food cooking to the pro people (: We all watched the finale of The Little Nonya together! Horrible ending though. Squaddies still have the bad habit of renting horror movies so I sat through The Strangers with a pillow and zimin's chinese doggy book. I felt the plot was very absurd and outlandish but being the gutless person that I am I was still freaked out. Weikai Edward beside me let out a huge shaky gasp when he thought the masked men were going to appear and I totally screamed. Glad next door didnt kick us out!

K I still owe brytan 6 reflection essays sigh.

Keeping late nights are a bad habit. scowls at monitor

Hmmm lets see. I went back to school the second time this hols for debates training with Joshua. I remember feeling frustrated, hurried, frazzled in the morning because I could not find some linkages I needed. After which I had my first lunch at the sky garden in Vivocity with the el peeps, fairly pleasant and was thoroughly amused by an sms with horrigible spelling! Yijin weilin jeremiah joshua spent the rest of db8s playing bridge while I stoned and picked up a few things. I sincerely apologize to Yijin for folding paper flowers out of his stats sheet and eating all the important numbers! ):

I spent New Year's Eve sleeping in and went for a family lunch at Jack's Place. I only liked their seafood chowder soup! Actually I like seafood chowder soup everywhere, period. The fish and chicken were very average (for the price we were paying!!) and they replaced broccoli for sweet corn that I am very unhappy about because I like having greens on my plate. Yeah to all you veggie-haters, eat dust! I came home, slept some more and had Teochew cuisine for dinner, threw some stuff out and watched Maid In Manhattan after the new year craze was over.

I'm beat because I bulldozed through the twilight saga this week and no doubt I have complains, esp. her theory about vamp killing and the fact that I simply cannot comprehend why Edward Cullen has legions of fans. The age issue should turn one off already!

I like Alice the best and well I admire Charlie the most. Thrown unsuspecting into the heat (or rather, the cold) of the whole vamp wreck, he is unperturbed by Bella's hatred for Forks, submitting to her crazy demands, accepting her ancient boyfriend, sudden marriage and pregnancy; not asking ANY questions the whole time and being sane. I could not have done that.

Hmm while on the topic of self-control, here are

My new year resolutions:

1. To manage my finances and control my expenses.
A rough gauge of how much I've spent this holiday would be close to four hundred dollars. Funny how money disappears so quickly when I go out *rolls eyes* And I didn't even go on a shopping spree!

2. Exercise regularly, vigorously.
I've been feeling very unhealthy, and I must have been through about a gallon of coke, fries and what not, with all that fast-food. The occasional run does not seem to do any good.

3. Read more non-fiction.
I can't tell you how much I abhor non fiction and how quickly I'd embrace even the lousiest story when placed between both. SO PICK UP THEWORLDISFLAT AND FINISH IT CHARMAINE! It'll prolly be my last book because I'm going to face a lifetime ban from the library when school reopens :/
