top five things i have learnt today in descending order:
5) red bull really does give you wings… but then it’s just crash and burn
4) what the fuck has happened to muse guys??! they’re going into america with their new album and turning into a disco-synth-disaster-of-blondie-proportions (not hating blondie or anything, they’re awesome in their own right, but they’re hardly alt rock!) oh well the album is awesome still, once you get past the whole blondie thing. haha. the instrumentals at the end are mmm mmm mmm! fantastic :)
3) madonna used to be sooo pretty when she was young. or at least prettier… comparatively. that’s before she became Madgenator AKA Cyborg with iron biceps filled with mercury veins
LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE:
2) lady gaga is teh shizz. period. her epic mtv vma perf last night is just too epic for words. it was like madonna’s 1990 rococo vouge performance all over again, except new and improved!!
“WHAT? taylor swift won best female video?? unacceptable! “
“I’M NUMBER ONE!”
1) have you ever had the experience where something that seems not so significant from the past comes back and hits you like WOAH, in the present? in lit it’s called a chehkov’s gun haha. oh man i just had such a moment. three words: never underestimate the powers of public transport. really. it’s shocking! it’s shock value even tops the whole lady gaga perf, haha that why it’s at number 1 on the list.

I WANT TO SEE LADY GAGA!!!!!! but the tix are f expensive, like almost a hundred bucks. oh well, i’ve pretty much missed all the concerts that i’ve wanted to go to since forever due to a lack of cash/clash in time/lack of credit card etc. SIGH THE CONFINES OF STUDENT-HOOD.
anyway not much. haven’t posted in a week cos this week is really killer!! there’s like both world lits AND EE. dieeeeee. i’m relying heavily for my brain to work so i can be super efficient and not write crap for either essay. PLUS we’re getting back papers on tuesday. so far, it’s not looking too good. apparently someone failed the ibdp chinese a2 exam!!! the probability that it’s me is like slightly less than 10%, since there’re only eleven of us anyway. can you imagine!! if i fail a subject that i’ve put so much effort in i’ll prolly jump off a building. nahh i kid. sigh and chem too. studied so much and i’m prolly getting a 4. which sucks big time. why am i so stupid, study so hard still cannot get above 40 points. *grumbles*
hmm anyway today i went to kap on a study date with the babes. i am so shocked that ming is taking h3 math!!!!!!! and she’s prolly getting A for it, while i am here failing easy-peasy (as compared to h3 math) ib math hl. if she comes to ib she’ll probably own that gerald seah guy from intact. and kk too!! she’s a slacker but she still gets by great. and now on hindsight i realised that i am like the lousiest out of the three of us! oh no no no no no.
conclusion: gotta work harder. i shall focus until the prelims, at least.
anyway i came up with a stuff-i-would-like-to-purchase-but-have-no-money-(as is typical of me, and it’s barely past half of the month)-or-is-out-of-my-budget-range-but-would-be-nice-to-think-about-having-anyway list, which is as follows:
- kerastase anti-frizz hair serum (again, this one was recommended in cleo’s hall of fame 2009)
- the phillips ceramic 10-in-1 hair curling iron/straightening tongs/this and that (the heads are changeable for different styling needs)
- canmake liquid eye liner pen (recommended in cleo hall of fame too)
- some form of concealer to hide my unsightly pimples, humongously monstrous eyebags and overtly-ruddy complexion
- miracle potion that will keep me awake in the morning and sleep well at night (recently i keep having nightmares. the other day i dreamt that i failed the ib math exam =_=) that doesn’t taste yucky i.e. not chicken essence
- delicious yet unfattening foodstuff for me to occupy myself with while mugging/doing work so i don’t start biting my nails because i have nothing to eat
- yet more delicious and unfattening foods for me to consume when i am hungry (hooboy am i hungry as i type this)
- lady gaga concert tickets
bah i am becoming more and more incoherent. i do realise my list gets quite rubbish as you go down because you can’t ever get some of the stuff anyway… like world peace. why are there so many riots and bombings and plane crashes recently?? can’t the world be in equilibrium for a days. anyway that’s a topic for another day. the weight of my eyelids are starting to increase so maybe it’s a sign that i should go to bed. toodley poodles guys. seeya soon.
p.s. i am so tired it’s not even funny :( so much work to do tomorrow plus there’s tuition :(((((((
all’s well with the world.
haha, anyway, i realised that i have this innane mechanism to come up with quirky titles for my posts, that on hindsight, have no real meaning. or do they? well i do think with my heart a lot; i think it’s called instinct. that’s why i’m so prone to rash decisions or saying things without thinking. but as to feeling with your heart… how does that work out? :/
well, it’s the last day of 2008. i’ve been doing mindless things for the past few days; got my nails painted, got freaked out by the hairdresser (he looked like a vampire, but not the edward cullen kind of way, sadly), got the cable guy to fix the net… the first year of co-ed high school life has gone us by, just like that. was it close to what i thought it’d be? i guess, for the most part… yes. there’ve been so many ups and downs, that i can’t keep track anymore. and and before i forget.
(the customary) new year’s resolution:
1. stop getting distracted by mindless internet applications so much (i.e. YOUTUBE!)
2. stop being anti-social when i’m in a bad mood
3. think before i speak
4. complete work on time
5. treat my family better (i know what they say most of the time is for my own good, just that i can’t take it well)
6. revise for tests/exams
7. exercise more (but we all know that’s not gonna happen… i’m gonna fail 2.4 again :( )
8. listen to friends’ problems instead of always thinking about mine
9. cut down on compulsive spending (i.e. less shopping more saving)
10. be happier! and to accomplish that i need _______.
p.s. happy new year’s day in advance!

an update on my not-so-interesting life (since school is the only interesting thing in my life – oh wait, that wasn’t sarcastic! gasp!). well if you want some pointers on the things you can do to waste your life away in this period of emptiness (oh ib, come back!) here are some things you can try out, and hopefully it’ll reduce your waking hours enough to make you go back to sleep again:
1. Spend time with family
On Saturday i could’ve gone for the class gathering, but nooOoOoOo, my father decided that since i’ve been staying out late too much the past few days (read: oktoberfest), i’m grounded! yipeekiyay. don’t you love it when your parents give you this kind of “i’m-not-officially-grouding-you-but-then-again-you-can-tell-from-the-tone-of-my-voice-anyway” treatment. thankfully this meant that we could go out as a family.
um. it was a slight failure, but it was fun nonetheless. first of all the whole family was only awake at 1, so after lunch and a little bit to this and that we set off at 3 (sans grandma) and arrived at 4. so instead of frolicking on the beach as originally planned, the family split into two groups and headed off to do our own thing since we couldn’t decide (and to maximise net enjoyment).
mom and i went for this fish reflexology spa thingum beside underwater world. it wasn’t half bad! in fact it was quite a novelty.
left: my mom sitting at the fish pool
above: the fish nibbling at my leg
it doesn’t look as gross as that. in fact, the fish were pretty cute. basically you put your feet into a pool for 20 minutes and the fish swim up to you and nibble your dead skin. sort of like exfoliation. then after that you get a 20 minute foot massage. all that for about $38. after the thing my feet felt damn smoothhhh. haha, but since the lady told us not to wash out feet for an hour after the massage (cos they put this moisturising cream on your leg) we couldn’t go to the beach cos that’ll mean washing the sand off our feet after we’re done. :(
then after that we went to bugis junction to eat at the nanxiang xiaolongbao restaurant. it was the one in which there was a gigantic xiaolongbao that cost $10!! pam and i saw it the other day while shopping. the xiaolongbao is as big as my fist and they use a straw to puncture the top for you to suck the juice/gravy out. like lol?!?! even i have not seen such a strange bao before.
we should spend more time with out families since seldom do we get to enjoy each other’s company once school is in progress. and since people find my brother cute, here’s something to cheery you up.
i am envious that he is photogenic no matter in what angle. (BJ i hope you see this :D)
2. Play games
im now amusing myself greatly with the no$gba emulator and a whole array of nintendo ds games. too bad my computer is too slow, so i can’t play the 3D games (i know, i know), but still! being the total fail i am, however, i have to resort to walkthrough guides. um, i prefer mild games like animal crossing and taking care of a pet and all that, unlike pam chia who likes bioshock and CS and shooting/killing people. she says they are very ’shiok’. they are not very shiok for me since i spend more time dying in those games than playing anyway.
3. Do work
yes… i am actually putting in effort to try to do work (but very little effort haha)
- First TOK draft
- EE essay introduction
- SAT revision
- Read The Colour Purple
- Annotate The Colour Purple
- Buy Paddy Clarke, hahaha
- Read Paddy Clarke
- Rewrite Chinese IA 2
someone motivate me, sigh. :(
