"Now guess who's back, back again."
Monday, August 9, 2010
Alright, I'm back. Cuz I need some place to vent, and just, you know, talk to myself sometimes. :-)
I'm a rather deep person after all... Heh :-)
Life is ok. Pretty acceptable. What's with the prelim stress kicking in... Not to mention the fact that O levels is round the corner.
Sheez.
I hate the neon sign thingy in the school canteen.. It never fails to remind me of something I'm desperately short of, and sadly, desperately in need of: time.
We all lack time. 24 hours a day is all we get. In fact, less than that, considering the fact that we need time to eat, sleep, and shit. For those of us who are constipated, guess they need more than the average human.
By the way, I came across this while reading Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus:
"Women have, and burn, 20% more fat than men."
this is rather appalling, considering the fact that I know of some annoying girls, who eat a hell lot, but thanks to their annoyingly high metabolism rate, don't grow fat. And if that's only considered 20% more than average, I wonder what about people like me, whom, unfortunately, has a lower metabolism rate, and loves to indulge in sinful food from time to time..
I'm like, oh wudddever.
Even as I'm typing this, carefully, due to the sensitivity of my itouch, I can't get the loud clanging of warning bells out of my head, that time is slipping through my fingers. Precious, precious time. Honestly I would get up and head to my table if I could, in fact, I can. But what's the point, my brain is exhausted, if not dead, from all that biology i've been cramming into my head. Nothing of Venice is going to go in. So you see why I worry?
If you ask me, I think exams shoud be scraped. Entirely. And seriously, why not? Studies have shown that kids in Finland, who do not undergo the same education system as we do, are actually performing BETTER than us Singaporean kids. And mind you, they don't have extra homework or projects or assignments, or even exams and tests. It's just purely lessons conducted during school hours. And yes, the percentage of successful Finland kids are way way higher than us. Shame.
Every morning, especially during such a trying time, I wake up hoping that the world would come to an end that fateful day, or that I had died in my sleep. When I go to bed that very same night, I know "not gonna happen". But oh how I wish.
I've everything planned out. With my O level grades, I'll enter a slightly better than average junior college, where I'll take mathematics, chemistry, biology, literature, and H1 history. I'll strive for AT LEAST a B grade for my general paper, and of course, attempt my A level examinations to the best of my abilities. With that, I'll apply to get into law school at NUS, and pray that I would be shortlisted for an interview..
I have it all planned up to here. What happens next, I'll decide once I've taken my A level exams.
I wish and I hope and I pray with all my might, things will go okay, that I will be alright, that I can live my dream. The sad, sad truth is, not everyone gets what they want. For me, choosing this path to venture into is a risk itself. And after the 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, it may still amount to a big fat 0.
200 intakes per year. That's not a lot.
200 intakes only, both local and international.
Against all odds, I'll try my very best. :)

On a lighter note, I've caught The Last Airbender.
Coming from someone who DOESN'T catch the animated series, I would say it was good.
I don't think I would say the same if I'd caught the animated series on Okto, according to my boyfriend. He says they'd summarized a lot on the content, and some of the scenes didn't stick to original plot. And some of the characters didn't even look a teeny bit alike to the cartoon, like the firebender uncle, who was supposedly fat. Or the fire-benders in general, (not to be racist or anything), who were potrayed as an Indian tribe in the movie. Amusing.
But I felt it was a rather enriching and emotional movie. You know, that overwhelming feeling you get when you watch "Good VS Evil" themed movies like Chronicles of Narnia, and Lord of the Rings.
Even though it's claimed to be summarized, the main storyline was there, so it's understandable. It had to be summarized, for with all that was worth, it was already a 2 hours long show. Can you imagine sitting through a movie longer than that? I don't about you, but my butt would most certainly ache. It's good as it is - long and captivating where it should, short and right to the point where it should. Worth the money and time. :)
Desperate Housewives: "As children, we're taught that the power of good always triumphs over the power of evil. But as we get older, we realize that nothing is ever that simple. Traces of evil always remain."
My hamsters are barking away with their high pitch squeaks. So adorable.
Hell they sleep a lot, is that normal? Sometimes I wonder if they're mutated pigs, or simply evolution gone wrong. Oh but they are adorable, really, I'll give them that. :) I like it when the scrub the back of their fat necks. and when they sleep. Makes me wanna scoop them up and kiss them like they were little furry marshmallows. :) I've grown accustomed to their smell... it doesn't really stink, but neither would I call it an aroma. In short, it's just this peculiar, distinctive smell of theirs I've grown to recognize. :)
Something like my dear, dear boyfriend.....
Oppsie! Wrong picture! ;-p
p/s, his biceps or triceps or whatever octa-ceps? Fake. Proven and exposed. Shucks.
Now here's the real dear:
Charming much? =.-
I don't get why he must play with the poor octopus every time we dine at Sakura. Lika small retarded boy. Poor pink-version-ed Squidward.... :(
Ah well.
He's like this huge hamster-alike, just, even better one.
He has a distinctive smell, like my hamsters, only it's his cologne, which I've come to like and recognize. He sleeps a lot, like from a few hours ago till now, which I'm so pissed over cus he didn't tell me a single crap before dozing off and I had to infer, but i'll let it go cuz i'm so nice and cuz he's sick and on medication so it's probably causing him to be drowsy. He eats a lot too, like my hamsters, both thanks to me, cuz I give them a lot of food heeeehee. He's warm and cuddly, like my hamsters, just that he's of the right dimension for me to cuddle up to, unlike my hamsters, who wouldn't even keep still long enough for me to tickle. Oh and he's playful. Need I elaborate?
I guess the only difference is that he can talk, and my hamsters can't. Probably a reason why I choose to ignore him sometimes and play with my hamsters instead. But then again, he can say nice stuff which my hamsters can't. Sadly. And ooo, he doesn't gnaw on anything I give him.
Well they both contribute to the reason for my living. That's significant enough.
Alright, I'm getting tired.
Hip hip hooray for National Day! :)
Unfortunately, nope, still not a fan of the NDP theme song. It's getting more and more atrocious with each passing year. However, I DO love the YOG theme song, "Everyone". :)
Guess who I'mma big big big fan of???
Oh yeah, the European guy, Steve Appleton. Cute family name huh! ;) Look into his eyes....are you mesmerized??? (8
I'm probably gonna spend the whole day studying Venice, so I won't have time for the parade. I would probably catch a glimpse of the fireworks from my window. With all that commotion, I don't think I really have much of a choice. I'm interested to see what crappy firework display they have this time round... if my memory doesn't fail me, I wasn't very impressed with last year's: 8 minutes long, yet mundane and absolutely mediocre.
We'll see, we'll see. :)
Good night world. :)
