Yknow when youve got a whole album of songs by a certain artiste, you tend to listen to the songs which are released as singles cos they sound familiar, then as you play and re-play the songs until you feel like, "OKAY sian, next song please", or you just leave your music player on and let the songs run and you do that the next day and the next.. And you tend to discover some other unreleased nice songs from an album? Yes that's my case. The title track off FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake has rubbed off on me. Haha. Though the lyrics are somewhat erm, suggestive, the beat is nice (:

Ah SLEEP is a luxury good right now. Be it naps or a night's rest. Every second of shut-eye costs time (in this case, personal study time minus tutorials and school). Been spending time on tutorials and extra lessons there's hardly personal study time left and they tend to eat into sleep time ): But rest time is very very important to me. Guess that explains that I will fall dead asleep wherever I am by like 4am especially during chalets. Kinda offended Reg and made her all peeved a few times already in all the chalets/stayovers we had together cos we'll all be having a late night chat and I'll be three-quarters asleep at like 3am or so and yet will be denying it and by 4 I would have turned into a human log. Haha.

Ponned Phy Geog extra lecture today cos I felt like a walking zombie. Went home and went to lalaland for 2 and a half hours of blissful rest (: At times I feel mentally awake but just physically tired but this time felt both mentally AND physically tired. Plus I havent finished Deathly Hallows yet! Haha. Been desperately reading the few chapters whenever I'm free, and most of the time is before bed time. So I guess that contributes to the fatigue as well -.-"

YAY! Popular had stocks for the worked solutions book for each Math topic (: (: (: Loved my A Math worked solutions book during O Levels. Haha. Dunno how to do question, refer to WORKED answer, do again without referring to the answer. Do whole book once before Prelims and another time before finals. During A's Math questions should look familiar and answering them will be less of a gale (okay breezy, but I dont have the confidence to say breezy cos I havent passed any Math major exam since J1 -.-").

Theyre all practically replicas of one another :S

:D Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds album is the bombbb! I'm a bit late on that, I know. But I'm still enjoying it nonetheless :D

I forgot what I wanted to blog about right after I turned on my Winamp to Fergie. Lol. Grr annoying :P No wonder when I have stuff to tell Reg the next day in the bus ride to school I have to mentally form an acronym to the titles of stuff which I'd wna tell her, like 'A' for me getting an A in Math. Okay that was a bad example because it's more like wishful thinking. Lol. But yeah something like that.

Celebrated Shuneng's birthday on Friday with the KCMSH gang at Suntec over dinner, minus Ryan. Took lotsa retarded photos, will post a few up when I get them. Haha. Went to NYDC, surprised Shu with a cake and sang (in different volume variations thanks to the guys even though theyre paiseh and wanted to sing softly). Lol. We shared a Calvin Klein underwear pressie for her. Quite an appropriate gift for an 18 year old huh! (x

Saturday had team lunch at Suki Sushi, CineLeisure. Stuffed ourselves man! Reg and I practically spammed the menu (took advantage cos twas a buffet) and when WeiKang sat himself down at our table he spammed the cream puffs. Omg haha I think at our table alone we spammed 12 plates of cream puffs with 4 cream puffs on EACH plate :X Luckily we had Trish and JunYi who helped us as well! Lol. Caught The Simpsons after that! Twas damn funny, though I felt quite tired during the movie. Couldnt conjure enough energy to laugh. Haha how loserish is that -.-" After which Glenn and I joined YewLiang and Joel at Paradiz McD's to study till dinnertime. I scooted off cos Joel was spoiling Deathly Hallows for everybody -.-" Haha poor YewLiang, who was reading at the seat diagonally across Joel. I'm only halfway through! Dont want it to end ):

Had tuition just now and had Thai Express for dinner at PS with mum :D Phat Thai Talay is my fav dish there omg :D But eating it by yourself is quite jelat. Yes, I understand the meaning of good things things coming in small packages. Haha.

I need to discipline myself, seriously. Managed to sort out all my notes of all 5 subjects including GP into rings according to topics :D Spent 2hours and a half doing that. Towards the end my eyes were damn blur but am glad I got everything more or less sorted out!

Still, ZEN, PLEASE DISCIPLINE YOURSELF.

We finally got our hands on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! It's like, top priority in all of our To-Do lists to finish reading it before others do cos there are high chances of them letting slip who dies which is plain annoying to be very honest ): I'll mentally strangle those who do and theyll probably feel it through my eyes.

Violent? Excuse me. This is Harry Potter we're talking about.

My bro is like, three quarters through the book already!!!

Ooh today's English Calligraphy course during Learning Fest was really cool :D We got to keep the $3 calligraphy pen and learned the Italics and Uncial fonts, with the latter being the font for the Lord of the Rings movie title. Cool huh! I am in love with old English handwritings. Theyve got this romantic, elaborate, elegant and sophisticated feeling when your eyes glaze over the fonts. I like (: Wish the ball point pen wasnt invented yet, then we all can write with cool fountain pens. Style sia. Haha. Ah! Wish I signed up for sports courses cos everyone seemed like they had a lot of fun, sweated it out and DID SOME SPORTING ACTIVITIES IN THE MIDST OF EXAMS! Whoa I feel breathless after climbing up the overbridge of the PIE to cross over to SAV. Wanted to sign up for Contact Rugby and dance lessons! But nobody to go with me. Deb cant do sports and Krystal doesnt want. Shouldve joined Jade at rugby but Deb was nice enough to help me sign up for the courses when I was sick.

Okay I'd better get a headstart on Human Geog and prepare GP and read Deathly Hallows. And to bathe!

Cant wait for tmr and Sat! Gonna catch up with old friends and the team over dinner and lunch respectively (:

If I could take back that $400+ worth of A Levels papers I have to take at the end of this year, I'll seriously consider doing that. Cos I havent scored anything higher than a D for any of my H2s. Highest grade Ive ever gotten is a B in H1 Chinese during Common Test last year. Lolsxsxsx. My luck in Chinese has been good. Though I got an S for A Levels for Chinese, at least my ass is saved cos any lower, I'd have to take more Chinese courses in Uni (IF I ever do manage to enter one) in which I'd rather learn Afghanistan.

I'm simply not ready for A Levels larh 5FT.

Okay shant wallow in depression anymore cos like Deb said, life's not all about studies. Haha.

Our class has somehow redeemed herself - we're currently first in the NAPFA Challenge. LOLS. Evan the councillor was announcing the current results and though our class was told that we stand a good chance to win, we still didnt hold much hope. "Confirm some science class la", was what WeiLing said I think. And lo and behold, next thing we knew, "..and currently in first place is oh-six-aye-two". We all gasped (yes GASPED) and stared at each other in amazment. Haha. Miss Seow's face was literally RED from laughing cos she couldnt believe it either! Hahaha. I think the guys are gna try for Gold cos a few of them have Silvers instead to up our chances so that we'd be uh, unbeatable. Lol. I am utterly shocked still. $30 EACH PERSON leh! Woweee. Can buy Rapture dress. Hahaha. Of course, NAPFA Challenge would still be on and a dress doesnt cost just $30 so I guess that'll go into my savings for a holiday at the end of the year.

Watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tomorrow with Deb & Krystal at Lido after school! :D Deb helped us book tix on Monday. Lol. We're so very excited, see. Hahaha. Krystal's 'fault'. She kept whining that we had to watch with her so Deb didnt watch with Michelle they all on Wednesday to watch with us. Lol. Yes am very excited for the movie and the 7th book! Many deaths, I heard :S Still in a dilemma whether to pre-order it from Popular or with our uncle who works in NUS Co-Op. Mum says that he can probably get it cheaper for us but dunno by how much. Plus we'd probably wna read it on the day the book's released. If I could I'd wna stuff earplugs into my ears to protect it from hearing about who died in the book cos I'd wna read it for myself. See no evil, hear no evil. Lol.

Okay time to do some work. Building on my Econs essay library :D Cos we're doing lots of essay qstns during Econs tuts now, Ms Wong gives us the points so I'd write them down in essay-format. Kills two birds with one stone - I (hopefully) will be able to remember it better and will be able to refer to it when I'm revising that topic before Prelims and A's.

I cant face my Math tutor again this Sat. Ugh. I wldnt blame him if he decides to drop me cos I really think I'm the black sheep out of all the students he has. Like, it's okay I'm fine going back to mah ghetto. What if I got a U again the next time around? All the efforts will be wasted anyway. Gotta stop procrastinating and practise more.

I think I may be up for another triple U for BT2. Econs was a major screw-up despite it being the subject I studied the hardest for. At this point in time I am really at a loss for words with my academics. They werent kidding when they said that O Levels is a walk in the park compared to a 10k run of A Levels.

What to do, we already paid for our A Level exams.

5FT!

I gotta prepare myself for a bad Geog grade. A fail perhaps. I'd be psychologically contented with an S. So please, gimme an S or.. I dunno la. I feel so utterly hopeless in my studies right now. After receiving Econs we went to the caf for lunch and I got a cup of Milo - took a plastic cup, dispensed the Milo in it, stuck a red straw into the Milo, and walked back to the table where my class was. Yes, without paying. Or at least that's what I think. Haha. I feel like I had short-term memory loss there. I must be a nut. I didnt realise until after I drank a quarter of the Milo (or I was just plain forgetful if I did actually paid for it but I simply just cant remember). Oh God save me.

Wow. So many things happened in a short space of time. And I have not told Regina anything yet! We didnt go to school tgt for just 2 days and it feels like an eternity. Haha. I sound like some obsessive girlbestfriend. Lol. I tell her almost everything so it feels quite odd to not have filled her in and this weight on my chest and shoulders need to fall on her ears already! Haha. 'Cept that her ears wont droop from the weight of course. Girl please try to be in the bus tmr! (:

I think Ive done quite a lot of shopping. Yesterday Cali told me about her new online biz selling really cheap and pretty accessories (GIRLS PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT - http://community.livejournal.com/theshopaddict) and I ordered 3 pairs of earstuds immediately. Hoho. But they were for a steal - at $5 :D How cheap is that? I just need to pay 50cents more for postage fee. And today, went Bugis Village with mum for dinner, durians and shopping :D Had a really nice time out with mum (: I was telling her when we passed by this shop playing those songs with the raggaeton beat (think 'Gasolina') in them that those songs are what Phuture and Smoove usually plays.

Mum was like, "Eh! This kind of songs I like! Next time must follow you. Are you going next week (meaning Wednesday)?"

Hahahaha. I almost died.

"Ma, Ive got school next Thursday!" was my shocked reply.

Lols. Then told her that we may go after Rapture and she said that she'd most likely come along. WHOA. My mum rocks socks. Haha. We shopped somemore and she bought me a pair of those one strap sort of Birks. But theyre the Scott brand but heck it. Birks are way too ex. Then we shopped somemore cos she wanted to find "mini-skirts" (quoted directly from mum) but we didnt in the end. We went into this shop and saw this pair of shorts in black and white. I tried the white while I persuaded her to try the black one cos she didnt know if she will look okay in shorts. In the end I succeeded and she looked good in it but she didnt want to buy it in the end ): She asked if I wanted the white one and I was halfhearted cos it's not cheap for a pair of Bugis Village shorts at $32.90. But she bought for me anyway (:

Gosh I love my mum (:

I went to cut my hair this afternoon cos my fringe was starting to irritate my eyes and it was way too long. Haha. Cut a slightly different style in the end with slightly shorter hair in front and long at the back. I think I look quite gong with the shorter fringe. Haha. Yknow when your fringe is really short and you feel like a coconut head? Yeah I kinda have that feeling right now. Haha. Oh well! I guess it'll grow out soon.

Wow I'm starting to actually find lessons more tolerable and I dont actually mind them that much anymore. Haha. See what A Levels have done to J2s? I dont mind being labelled a nerd. It's a compliment actually :D

Aight time to catch up with good ol' sleep (:

PICCHAS!

Waiting for the train to take us to Clarke Quay; in light of Live Earth, TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT! Heh. Saves money and lessens pollution!

At The Arena; Nicole & I (: (Before feeling woozy)

Still at The Arena; with Reg (the drink that started the wooziness!)

Outside MOS! Queueing up.

Camwhoring at the MOS toilet. Haha.
The toilet's got nice lighting.
We three!
In da lift on the way to Gotham!

Shopping at River Island before going for College Day with Deb and Krystal. Oops I snapped too fast.

Trying out the longsleeved top at home before the day itself - I look so nerdy la. Haha.

The day itself! Me, Clara & Reg with our SAJC Colours Awards plaque & cert! :D

I AM ADDICTED TO HOLLER BY SPICE GIRLS.
Hahaha.
AND I FOUND A NEW IDOL IN VICTORIA BECKHAM.
Hahahahahaha.

After hearing about their reunion, my bro went to download all 3 of their albums. So they were downloaded and I played them and the nostalgic moments of listening to Spice Girls just overcame me. Hahaha. Love em and miss em! Wish they came to Singapore. *sniffs*

Wednesday was indeed a blast with the girls, Nicole and Reg (: We didnt go to Zouk, we went to club-hop in Clarke Quay instead and we went to 5 clubs in total. Lol. It's indeed a privilege to be a lady. We didnt pay a single cent to go into all 5 clubs heh :D The best club we went to that night which I reckon was MOS cos the Smoove room was playing R&B :D Love da music mannn. Haha. We stayed there the longest. The cage concept was quite cool. Heh. Twas really fun when the whole club just sang to the chorus of songs like "I Wanna F*** You". Haha. It's the singing in unison and finding the song funny that's fun (okay my vocab sucks). Smoove something like Phuture in Zouk, but I still think Andrew Chow, dubbed the best DJ in Singapore, is still better. His song transitions are much better and so are his song selections. We went to Atticus Too as well, which played nice random songs from Deja Vu (Beyonce) to some Jamaican song haha. Guess it catered to the Caucasian hippie (and maybe not so hippie) crowd. The funniest DJs have got to be those from Atticus Too. Lol. When they played "Umbrella" by Rihanna, the 2 DJs were swaying to the music with an open umbrella over their heads! Haha! Oh we saw a Harry Potter lookalike in Atticus Too! An older version of course. Lol. He looked like a damn hot Harry Potter who went to work in some office. Hahaha. The best toilet is gna be at MOS as well. Lol. Huge and the lighting is NICE. Ahaha. Will post up some photos to prove that point. Best crowd is at Atticus Too! The people are are diverse man. Youd think youre celebrating Racial Harmony Day with the world. Theyre all really friendly. Not those lecher types. Haha. Yeah seriously.
I seriously need to work on my alcohol tolerance! Haha as if I can work on it. Lol. I dunno can you? I drank one and a half cups of vodka and I'm sagh already! Reg and Nicole were fine and I was like shit man. Hahaha. Warren says we've got healthy livers. Lol I hope.

Yesterday was College Day :D Reg, Anuaar, Leonard, Clara, HoYun, YewLiang, Edwin and I got the Colours Awards for Bowling :D Got a plaque and a cert. Wheee. My mum and bro came :D We went to watch Die Hard 4.0 after that. Haha. Not too bad. But Maggie Q was so.. plastic leh. She didnt really move about that much. And I dunno why, as long as youre a little bit Asian, you gotta do some kungfu once youre casted. And she just acted pretty. Haha. She is la.
Okay gtg get ready for YOGA with Reg, her mum, her sis and her sis' friend. Haha. It's a trial lesson, so gna see how it is. Haha.

Will upload picchas soon! UPLOADED! (:

If you havent heard Holler by Spice Girls for a long time, GO! Heh.

Hello Miss MIA is back again. Haha. I got the 'Blog Sting'. Y'know those kinds when you are urged to blog after reading other people's & discovered what a lazy ass you are. Haha.

BT2 is OVER! CHEERIOS! :D Hopefully I wouldnt get too bad a set of results a la BT1. Oh gawd it was mega sucky considering I was last in class & after a quick survey across the bowling team I was last as well at 10 Rank Points with a triple U! No more! Hopefully so.. Today's Stats paper was the paper which made me feel slightly more confident of a pass. Not the whole of the Math subject though, but only Stats. Haha. My tuition group was practically DRILLED in the Binomial, Poisson (rightfully pronounced pua-zonc courtesy of Warren who checked it out) and Normal Distributions after yesterday's 5hour-long tuition! Other than the Stats paper hopefully I'll be able to get at least two other Es at least from Econs and Geog. Then I'll be quiteee safe. I hope! (Hope is so overused haha aiyo that's the only thing I can feel now for BT2.) Certainly gotta work even harder for Prelims and A's.

Hmm quite a few bowlers are 'retiring' from bowling which I find quite wasted & also sad-Yew Liang, Glenn and Nicholas Tong. Havent spoken to all the girls yet so not so sure about that camp. Even now I miss bowling so much. Reg is still bowling for Interclub and bowling well (: I think I'm absorbing (OH) molecules as each day passes. Haha. I'm rusting. After A Levels may prolly be all rusted that I may crumble. Haha. I certainly hope not leh. I still wna try out for COE next year and bowl somemore. I cant bear to leave my 4 bowling balls at one corner collecting dust. Hahaha. Nor can I bear to sell them away. But it may be a good thing to come back to bowling a little rusty, losing all the bad habits I used to have and starting anew. But I hate that feeling when your thumb doesnt fit nicely into the thumbhole like it used to and the ball feels like a thousand pounds in your hand after a hiatus. I've loved & been bowling since Sec 1 & I think it wont go away anytime soon. Will probably go crash the juniors' training at Safra Mt Faber this weekend hehe. I hope I wont be that rusty after one month of zero bowling!

Okay let's see what happened the past week. Hmm I sprained my ankle. Haha. It's much better now. Luckily it wasnt a bad sprain. I was careless enough to miss one step at Kallang MRT -.-" Luckily Trish was there! Held on to her hand for like a full minute after my ankle landed on it's side after I missed that dreadful last step cos was in total shock trying to figure out if my ankle was really sprained/fractured/okay. Haha. There was this searing pain around the ankle area for awhile only so it wasnt so bad. We were going to the National Stadium for its closing ceremony so not so bad cos we sat almost all the way. Skipped the LightsOut party cos of my ankle & cos Brandon and Trish were going back as well, so followed them. Had a nice long chat with them while walking to Kallang McD's for dinner & back home. Haha. Realised that I will definitely miss my juniors omggggggg. Sigh. I hope the new captains will lead the team to another victory next year & organise those bonding camps which are up to standard (ahem! haha) (: Had many great reviews about our KL teambonding camp last March :D I'm really really happy that they found it really fun :D A lot of effort leh! Haha okay shant be boastful heh.

Whoa I think I digressed to China haha okay back to what happened last week.

Hmm honestly nothing much happened. Haha. I stopped after the last paragraph for a minute & was like, eh! Nothing leh! Haha.

Okay I finally found my pair of court shoes from Mindy's bandmate Dorothy (though I'm not sure who she is! But I gotta thank her for lending me her shoes!) for the SAJC Colours Award rehearsal tmr. She got me a size 7 from someone else but I couldnt fit -.-" My feet are damn big la. Haha aiyo. Paris Hilton size sia. So got a size 10 from Dorothy. I think can fit la, from a 7 to a 10. Haha. Else I can stuff tissue in front. Then borrowed a longsleeved blouse from Mindy. It's the band's one also. Hahaha. Budden not to insult the band in any way, me and Reg agreed that we look retarded with the blouse and super high and long school skirt :S The blouse has a pocket at the left side so it looked a little odd. Haha. No offense at all to band again! It's the blouse and the event that it's worn for, not band. Guess we shant complain too much since we didnt bother to go spend money to buy one which we prefer. Aiyo. Somemore no blazer leh. It's not prestigious enough I guess. Oh wells. Haha. Yay mummy is coming! :D She said that since it's my last year in school she'll come. I really really appreciate her support for me in bowling this year, seeing me through my ups and downs (:

Oooh event-packed day tmr! :D In the morning will be going to Krystal's mum's shop to beautify ourselves. Hahaha. Aiyo so vain right. Haha. But really, there wasnt much grooming time prior to BT2 and during BT2. Heh. I'm gna go pluck my eyebrows while Deb's gna wax while Boon's gna do facial I think. Then we'll be heading to Vivo to SHOP & LUNCH! WOOHOO! Omg :D Haha. Gna get a top for later tmr night's chionging. Heh. This time we'll head straight to Phuture! Andrew Chow's spinning :D Love the R&B tunes (: Aiyo I sound hiaolok, as Reg would describe us. Haha. Aiya. Just wna chill for a night after BT.

Okay that was a long post! Haha. I think I did this entry justice! Hehe. Time to O2Jam!
