In view of looming Prelims and A Levels, Jia Yi will be on a hiatus after this last post, which means she promises not to log on until November 20th! Like, serious.

So till then, farewell you all! :D

I am addicted to reading horrible love poems. I love how people think it's so easy to write a good poem and then you read it and you realise there really isn't any message at all coming from the poem, maybe just how "love hurts" and all that kind of stuff. But still, very laugh worthy.

Finally figured out where I am supposed to get my medical check-up, but the screwed up thing is the place is closed and I can't get an appointment asap, so I'm really worried about how long the results will come out. Damn me for being last minute as usual, only 6 days left to the deadline! And LKF is so kind, he's letting me write my own letter of recommendation. HAHA!

As XR kindly reminded us on her blog, 105 days to A Levels! And according to the ever-so-trusty Mr Plasma, 35 days to prelims. Boo. How the hell am I supposed to finish studying in that short period of time? And I was supposed to start this week. Seems like I really, really must start already.

After satisfying my cheesecake craving yesterday, my new craving is Loackers. And crepes. Gah.

I think I am finally a bit more assured about where I want to go post-A Levels, but I'm aiming so high it's almost embarrassing for me to say it out, and honestly I'm getting a bit afraid from how everyone seems to think I will be able to do well, but my grades are proving otherwise. All I have to say is, "jiayou jiayi!" I better buck up and score well for Prelims.

Sickness got better today, coughed and sniffed much less than yesterday, but the stupid pink medicine is still making my hands tremble like I have Parkinson's. It's making it so difficult for me to copy notes/homework! :( I cannot imagine life with aforementioned disease. Hopefully I will not be plagued by such illnesses in the future.

Pageant nominees got me laughing out loud, terribly. The girls are all great, but the guys are just so...-_- Everyone should totally vote for Nick Lee, he is so totally VJC's Prom King. And it will be just perfect if the prom queen is some super tall girl. Hurhur.

My mum plans to bring the rabbits to ECP this weekend. HAHAHA! I can just imagine them running about on the beach. It's a hilarious image actually. Just hope they don't drown in the sea or choke on a shell or something like that.

Oh yes, go us, Jiayi no.1 and Jiayi no.2! Maybe we'll work some miracle and get through this like we did for VIP! ;)

Thelma Aoyama is pretty awesome. Maybe she will be able to keep me occupied while the rest are MIA.

So cute-x right? Say hello to my two fat rabbits! They are roughly the length of an average person's forearm.

Poor Xiaxue being threatened with Dawn Yang's letter. I am totally a Xiaxue worshipper, so damn you if you support Dawn Yang! She's so obviously plastic and annoying.

Like Xinrong said about an increasing number of breakups recently, it's been a season of heartbreaks. And not just between lovers, too, heartbreaks can happen between friends as well. Glad that the two of them made up, now I shall wait for the other two pairs of people to clear all their misunderstandings.

I realise I that resemble more and more the modern malcontent. I may be very good at pointing out the vulnerabilities and superficiality of our society, I am still highly unable at judging myself. Hopefully, unlike Bosola, I will not need to inflict too much pain upon others to realise that.

And a short open letter to the Duchess of the Malfi:
Dear DoM, kindly stop causing so much heartache among Lit students! It is tiring enough trying to understand all those stupid double entendres and decipher all the metaphors in the play, so quit being such a nuisance and let us get those As already!

Overall CT2 grade's a bitch. I absolutely cannot believe my performance in Lit, but yes, a jolt is required so I will get my ass off the chair and start doing some research instead of believing that I can miraculously score.

Daddy's 50th birthday tomorrow, and if you know me well, you will know that I do not have a very pleasant relationship with my father. Granted, he dotes on me the most, but the more he does that, the more I cannot stand the way he nags at me and preaches to me. Anyhow, I still wrote a poem entirely about him about a week ago, and I think it's the most emotional piece I have ever written in my life.

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays. July is really a huge month for celebration! Chengyi's just came and went. And along with that, Cookie came and went too :( Still can't believe he died just like that. To think I had half a mind to introduce him to my rabbits! But perhaps it was a good thing too, since CY doesn't really have experience with pets.

Lots of photos to upload, maybe I should turn to my snapfish. Hmm.

I feel like my temper's getting really really bad nowadays. I get upset over the teeniest weeniest things which I usually would not have in the past. And the biggest problem is still how I can't bring myself to actually tell the people I'm angry at that I'm angry with them. Vicious cycle.

Time to get out of the rut, jiayi! And be more independent, don't invest too much emotions.

Mr Koh came to VJ today to talk about SMU Business! It was really surprising, since I thought he was still at RI, but there he was this morning. Didn't care if people thought we were fangirling or anything, Jovena and I still cheered for him!

This totally reminds me of how wonderful all the IP teachers were! The only reminder I have of this is Maths tutorial by endearing old Mr Lam, and the rare occasions I see Mrs Koh around the school. :( This is probably one of the things I miss most about the IP days, since our JC tutors are all so very sucky. In terms of ranking, even LKF is like relatively high up already. So amazing lah!

My respect for CSW has since gone down to negative 100, and my tolerance for him to 0. People like him should not be allowed to teach.

UK seems to be beckoning me as well. Now I only have more things to consider. Should I apply for the Japan scholarship after all? It seems so much work now. And Kew Gardens is just so very, very attractive. =X

According to Facebook, my weakest point is kindness. Obviously Facebook can't be trusted, since the way they rank people is highly flawed, but I still feel a bit indignant about it. Bitchy, yes, but unkind? I'm like super kind to people I like lah!

Or maybe it's true, that's why mats like to pick on me. Following the middle finger incident a few years back (OK lah, very long ago I know), another group of them had to pick on me today :(

The more I think about it, the more pissed off I am lor. I should totally have been super nasty, but I was NICE and KIND and didn't want to kick up a fuss (partially also out of fear of being beaten up lah, haha). Looking back, I realise I should have scolded a slew of expletives in Chinese, Japanese, etc. and they will stare back at me, and I will say "Eat my dust, measly idiots who probably don't know what 1 + 1 is." Still dare to call me "bodoh" lah! GRR.

In reality, that didn't happen, and the only thing I managed to do was to push pass the mat's fat ass and hitting his face with my big black bag and then, feeling highly irritated, turning back and scolding the f-word, which is like, super mild lah! People like them are the cause of all racial stereotypes. (Really something coming from me, since I champion minority rights!)

In conclusion, I realise I need to be more assertive and actually show my displeasure, even and especially to strangers.

To prom or not to prom? That is the question.

Currently, still a lot more cons than pros, so being the good econs student I am, I decided to do a cost benefit test (or whatever you call it lah - I don't take econs!)!

Pros:
1) CAMWHORE OPPORTUNITY, full stop.
2) Can dress up very pretty
3) Act glam for one night

Cons:
1) Money money money
2) You probably won't ever wear your dress again!
3) Boring, boring...
4) Super troublesome making sure your hair/makeup/whatever stays on
5) No one's going!

Seems like the cons weight heavily over the pros huh. And OK lah, maybe some people are going, but as of now I know only very few people going! And then there's the problem of who to sit with. :(

Night Safari tomorrow, yay! :D

Who the hell do spammers think they can cheat with a totally obvious title like "SIGN MY CONTRACT NOW"? No-bloody-one orders me around, thank you very much.

Anyway, the week's passed and gone with a flurry of activities, so much so I can't really keep track with my own life now. Within a week, I have turned 18, becoming an adult overnight. While a birthday really makes no physical impacts on one, it sure makes a lot of mental impacts. I have caught myself seriously pondering about my future more than once already.

Seriously, I cannot foresee myself entering a local university and starting the whole mugging cycle all over again. I think I will become depressed and steal guns from the army and go to Orchard to attempt to kill someone - no, wait, I'm 18 now, I can go to jail for that! (horror)

Neither do I want to start working immediately with some shitty job my A-Levels cert can yield. So I'm kind of in limbo, not here, not there. Aiyah, what to do!

The only advice I have for myself is to close my eyes and plunge right in. I'm already in the middle of my completely useless JC education, might as well make the most of it and try to ace the exams.

Speaking of which, my CT2s have been quite the horror show - kns, fail my chem again! I'm becoming stupid, ever since my brain cells turned to fluff like the cotton in my rilakkuma stuffed toys. I improved by like, 1 mark for my bio? And I could have done so much better for math. Pfft.

Moving on...

Finished the entire gossip girls series, like finally! In a record 3 days, I flipped through the remaining 5 books I haven't read, relishing in the antics of bitchy Blair and cursing fickle-minded Nate. I despise Serena too much to even think about an appropriate adjective for her. Anyway, I HATE the ending! Wahlao, have to read the stupid new series about the Carlyle triplets just to find out what happens to S, B and N eventually!

Moving on again...

Thank you so much to all my wonderful friends for making my 18th birthday a good one!

The best IP classmates one can have: especially wuyue & jove, the floorball lovers, feisty fivers (can't believe we came up with that corny-ttm name), hongwen girls and leon, and all those waiting for me in the morning although I reached school too late! :(

Living Pigs for all the nice handmade gifts and kukubear paraphernalia (attempt to use sophisticated word), and fun time at Gelare! And of course the Heavenly Kings, slacker gang, "Untouchables" for the presents as well!

Avalon associated people like Shi Han the aunty, and Azrael, the most unlikely people to attempt to surprise me 3 times, and only one time succeeded merely partially.

24ths who wished me, but where's the present? ;) Special shoutout to Stephie for her love! [Dhil, your banana totally rotted before I got home to feed it to my rabbits, so guess where it ended up]

The only 4 squadmates in VJC (not counting kimfung, hianhuat...you get the idea) - Yuhan, Yanwen, Jian Nan and Chew Guan for the kukubear!

And everyone else who gave me a bit more love on 3rd July! :D

Who knows where I'll be a year from now? Nobody knows, but you can trust me to feed you with the awesomest gossips ever.

you know you love me,
jiayi

(Totally trying to pull off a Gossip Girls-esque ending. LOL)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WUYUE! (I was thinking what your surname was for a bit, until I realised that Wu was your surname! LOLzer) 生日快乐！Otanjoubi omedetou (:

19 is like, almost an adult lah! In Japan, 20 signifies adulthood, so you are very near it. It's a good thing I think, to be an adult.

Birthdays are like coming one after another.

Tomorrow it will be Dianne Renee Tan's turn. (and mine of course, but I'm trying to be humble here)

And the day after next, Cheryl's.

And then Cheng Yi's. And then Jovena's. And of course some others in between.

Conclusion is a deep hole in the pocket.

And yes, new skin! Super into ayaka's "POWER OF MUSIC", made me really rethink my passion for it. So yes, must love music more!
