I'm really really happy today because I wore my lovely tinkerbell earrings for the first time after having lost them for months, when I finally found them yesterday at a certain dusty corner! I thought it was gone for good, so I was really glad to have them back.

And SUSHI makes me happyyyy. :D So does looking at nice photos of cute people. HAHAHA.

What a change from yesterday, which was the ultimate low of my post-prelims phase. Lit was such a disappointment, although I didn't expect much considering how I neglected revising it, but a D is really sad. Duchess of Malfi, I'm so gonna screw you upside down! GRRR XD

Anyway, it's really funny, because this morning I was still proclaiming how I wasn't scared of the newcomer to VJ, the poor injured white cat, in front of the s33-ers, but just now while walking to the bus stop, I was seriously freaked out when the white cat kept following us!

I swear it has a human face. Why doesn't anyone besides Yuhan and I see it?!?

I've decided that one day, I will have a pet cat. I kind of like them, and I like the idea that they are really hygienic animals. The only thing I can't stand about my rabbits is that they shit all over the place. Oh, and that they are so inconspicuous I always trip over them or step on their leg or something.

Anyway, Happy Children's Day to the young at heart! That includes me, of course :D

I can't believe I went home, took a nap, and woke up so late I couldn't make it for the sale! :( OMG.

Today was one of those days when I was extremely mood-swingy, very high one minute, and very PMS-y the next. So yep, I'm feeling rather bitchy now. But I guess I shouldn't say too much, just that I'm really amazed by how some people just totally have no clue at all.

So I was happy because I totally passed my chem prelim, and it wasn't even an E! I was super shocked by my MCQ, like 32/40? I kept laughing to myself, seriously. So yes, I'm super proud of myself! :D But of course there's no time to be overimpressed with my not-so-superb-after-all achievements, and try to jump enough grades for an A.

Time to return to my book now. At a very exciting part of story now!

HELLO WORLD!
Teo Heng twice in three days, I'm a happy girl! Haha. For the unknowing, Teo Heng is this cheap-to-the-max karaoke place in Katong. To prove my point, the first trip for 6 hours cost me $6 and the second for 3 hours cost me $1.70. Like, WTH?

Anyway today's session wasn't very high for me, since Pingyen was like 1000 times higher, the highest I've ever seen him at, so I think I was a bit shocked. Anyway, it was fun, and good food! Katong Laksa is yummy and so is the Coffee ___ place we went to for dinner.

Got back two papers today, and hounded Mr Lam for my math results (must get one mark for grade jump)! Managed to keep to my goal so far, but chem is really worrying. Oh well, shall stop thinking about it!

OMG, just remembered that it's Isetan sale tomorrow and I kind of promised myself to start studying tomorrow. Shiatz.

Recently I have been really hooked onto Haruki Murakami's "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle". I bought the book really long ago, but its length kind of turned me off. How I regret not reading it earlier! It's such awesomeness, and I'm not even halfway through it yet.

I think it's been quite a long time since a book has managed to make me feel nervy about lying on my bed at night, wondering if there are supernatural beings about. In fact, the last time I remember that was when I watched "The Ring" and I kept thinking Sadako will come catch me in my sleep or something. It's such an awful feeling, wanting to sleep, but fearing it. This time, I kept thinking about the novel's description of a character being skinned alive, and another being trapped in a well for three days.

And it got me started thinking about death, a topic I consider really taboo since the prospect of dying really scares me. But anyway, I'm not going to discuss that here, it's too dark for a blog! But really, it's just silly to pretend that death's not going to befall on every single one of us someday - it's just a matter of when.

Only one full day left before the return to school, and the dreaded feedback for the exam scripts! :( Not really hoping for much, just to pass everything without any E's. So anyway, I hope everyone's been unwinding themselves this long weekend and not burying themselves in the books immediately! You don't want to burn yourselves up :)

(Referring to Donovan's tag) Is it really the female hamster which eats up the babies? So strange! I thought they should have like, maternal instincts or something and the boorish male will eat up the babies. Anyway our conclusion is that, since we didn't touch the babies, they probably suffocated to death and were subsequently devoured. *shudder*

Anyway, is it me, or is facebook rigged or something? Why is it that I keep getting weird messages from weird people from super no link places like Turkey or India? It's the same for a lot of other applications too! Like strangers petting my fluff pet or "poking" me. I'm getting quite worried, because something similar happened for Friendster too. Somehow it went and added in my stead lots of people I don't know and they started asking me who I am and all. I hope Facebook's not doing that for me too! I don't want to be labelled a freak. >_>

Only bio MCQ left, which I really don't know how to study for, which explains why I'm currently slacking online. I think the exams strip people of whatever lives they had before, I think I haven't been out for something other than lunch, school, a paper, for 2 weeks already. And I feel like I haven't even talked to so many of my classmates during these 2 weeks! It's so sad, I feel my already narrowing social circle gradually degrading. It has totally reaffirmed my belief that I am becoming more and more antisocial.

Actually, I'm kind of getting bored of cyberspace too. There doesn't seem to be much to entertain me besides pirating lots of stuff, visiting blogs which are starting to lose their allure, and watching lame videos. I'm starting to think the virtual world is getting overrated! Maybe I should get myself addicted to like, viwawa or something. Or play second life and enact my ideal life. Hmmm. Food for thought.

My sister's hamsters gave birth again! But the problem is, the first time we counted, there were four. This morning, there was only one. Wonder where the other three went?

Studying for bio paper 3 is astonishingly boring! Can't bear to bring myself to read about RFLP and genome mapping and all that shit again :( Four more horrid papers to go...

The school library computers are really slow. It's taking forever to load all the pages. Must be one of their secret measures to make sure the waiting time deters people from surfing porn and stuff like that. Haha.

OK, OK, back to studying now.

I'm so glad that Math and Lit are down, only killer chem and bio papers left now. I think it's the first time in my life I am so bloody stressed, and hopefully the last too since I am feeling so much more optimistic about the A Levels now. That's really not saying I thought the prelims was good, but that I think the A Levels can't be anything worse than this. :)

I was super preoccupied just now with listening to the widest vocal ranges in the world (on youtube of course!), while trying to determine how many octaves I can sing. (Probably spurred by my constantly singing while studying) Oh my, Georgia Brown is so amazing! Her "whistle" note is soooo wth. It took me quite a while to realise that it was in fact her voice and not a note played from the flute or something.

And my conclusion was that I still don't know how many octaves I can sing, because I can't figure out all those technical terms. I have grandly returned all music knowledge to my teachers.

Actually, is it very normal for someone to sing aloud in public? I mean, sure, lots of people like to play their music on their phones on the bus, but singing is something else altogether. According to Jian Nan he sings all the time, but actually I think he's the first person I've ever found who sings on the bus apart from myself. And I do it super discreetly.

Anyway, Mid-autumn's tomorrow or something right? Kind of missing the times when I used to join the celebrations at my estate and go around carrying my lantern. Ah, the good old days of innocence!

♥ 21:43

OMG, I'm a bloody slow learner. :(

It took me 3 hours to read finish studying Electrochemistry PART ONE! How the hell am I going to finish studying Bio and Lit in the remaining two days?

Luckily, I have come to terms with myself that Prelims are not thaaaaat important. HAHAHA. I swear I'm getting into the whole studying thing now. Good warm up for the actual thing.

I miss studying in Starbucks! It's been school, libraries, home, school...and so on. And I realise I hardly studied with Lynn this time round.

Anyway, I'm bored by myself talking about studies all the time. Lately I've been spurning some really interesting stories in my head.

I wonder if I've ever told anyone before my ambition as a child (besides being a singer of course) was to be an author? And I would come up with all these great (to me, at least) plot lines. I remember once I collaborated with my penpal from Canada (I think) to write this fantasy-esque story, which we just left hanging after a while.

Come to think of it, I've always been like that. Quitting violin after Grade 5, stopping my art lessons after a few months, you get my drift.

Reading the shopaholic series has led me to realise I really have a lot in common with Bex. Not really the shopping, but rather the obsessive-compulsion, inability to stop myself from doing something, and coming up with all sorts of excuses for myself kind of trait. I really am the champion of deluding myself, I think.

And so I conclude, mid life crisis. Argh. "Woman divided against herself". Hur hur.
