this random but trying to mug is as difficult as deciding if simon baker is better than hugh laurie or vice versa. haha. it’s impossible to tell who’s better. i watched half an episode of the mentalist last night. it’s quite a nice show! shall add it to my list of shows to spam after ib
i’ve got nothing funny/interesting to post so here are some random parts of my waning days as an ib student:
while yuechin, ruthi, pam and i were walking out of school today after mathh:
me: ok i test you. who is the current prime minister of UK
pam: uhhh… barack obama
(which caused chin ruthi and i to go into a fit a laughter, and i accidentally spilt ribena on chin’s bag cause in the ensuing chaos we knocked into each other)
pam: wait wait let me guess again… uh BILL CLINTON. *silence* ok… john f kennedy??
me: NO!! it’s gordon brown
pam: ohh but i know marilyn monroe sang a happy birthday song to kennedy
/end (i think maybe i should get her an atlas and a subscription to the economist for her birthday, HAHA. i kid i kid.)
i was lying on the sofa watching tv after dinner
me: bj i feel so fat :( i’m oozing fats all over the sofa
bj: yeah you know what would happen if you go swimming in the sea?
me: don’t tell me… i don’t wanna hear -_-
bj: you’re cause an oil spill and kill all the marine wildlife, that’s what would happen :)
/end
lastly:
ferd: bullshit is the fertilizer for the brilliant
haha and with that inspiring quote from ferd, i shall be brilliant no mo’ and go back to studying ecornzzxx
p.s. can’t wait for ib to be over… prom! so excite. (need to lose weight if not i’ll really start causing oil spills lol) but then it’ll be 5 days of intensive, exhausting shopping right after the last paper ie math paper3. BUT I DON’T MIND. mind-numbingly exhaustive shopping>mind-numbingly exhaustive examinations anyday, all day, 24/7. and not to mention lnat straight after that in early december!! and i should probably get a job after that too! like as a secretary or something. i mean i have all the way till august/sept 2010 before uni starts
p.p.s. mom’s coming home from shanghai today!! :):) yay got crabs to eat :D
p.p.p.s. oh well house and patrick jane will have to wait. but i’ll get back to you two soon, i promise. haha
p.p.p.p.s. OH RIGHT there’s a meteor shower today!! that was like the whole purpose of my post before i got distracted with the whole hugh laurie/simon baker thing. it’s at 1-3am at night/early morning. dunno if i can see it though! but i really wanna make a wish. other than getting above 41 point of course! cos like, it’s a meteor shower so you can make more than one? but the other wish is secret, i donch tell you what it is :) heehee
yesterday i went to guang’s birthday party! special mention to the cheesecake cos everyone thought it was store bought, but it was all really due to pamelia ramsay’s expert direction (plus the extra help of the jean-phillipes aka ben chong, kwong and i). and had much fun singing at the karaoke with everyone. and i think i kinda lost my voice after yesterday though. and after that we had fun bowling/watching people bowl. then and spent time at the adjoining arcade. hmm oh yeah watching the guys play the street fighter game was really an eye opener, never knew how those things worked haha.
plus i didn’t do much all week, except for math and english. finally emailed asking for a referral letter and completed the personal statement thought, even though i had trouble with latter. cos when you watch too much antm, suddenly the way you promote yourself sounds awfully like the way the models on the show interview. not good, since it makes you sound less like the credible future undergrad that you’re supposed to be and more like…… ris low.
hmm plan for tomorrow’s that i’m gonna finish summarizing siddhartha, like key quotes and rundown and stuff. hope i can finish. plus i really need to plan the studying schedule; it’s scary to think the actual exams are coming so soon guys. i’m so not prepared. oh well, the inevitable will come whether we want it or not…
anw toodles guys time to sleep.
boom boom boomz!
bao
p.s. now that i’ve finished watching true blood s2 and band of brothers on max i have nothing to look forward to on weekends. :( i’m contemplating whether to start watching house haha. should i?

the part at 06:13 when they get out of the car at the middle of the road and start dancing is sooo funny haha. the construction worker walks past and he gives this face like, ‘what the’! after watching this i didn’t think paris hilton is so bad, she seems to actually be a nice person?
and as pam would say it, i baoed the physics paper today. haha. like paper 1 was so totally screweded up. i didn’t even have enough time to finish the whole thing so at the last possible moment i ended up shading option c for all of the last 10 questions that i didn’t have time to fill in. well, the only consolation was that i found out i got 3 out of those 10 questions correct. yippie.
hmm halfway through prelims and already i’m so tired. i can’t even study properly after dinner because i get so tired and can’t focus. :( after ib i’ll start doing stuff again, like painting! watercolours and acrylic :D but i think my art skillz are non-existent now after years of non-use. :/ hmm what else. i’ll go to the beach more often! AND I’LL FINALLY WATCH RESERVOIR DOGS and all the movies in my to-do after ib list. and maybe i’ll learn how to cycle (somehow), and exercise more. like learn some martial art! i wanna learn boxing. haha. then next time if you go to big cities overseas you can learn to defend yourself when you’re mugged or something.
oh well. guess i’m planning too far ahead again. gotta work harder for prelims or i really cannot get into a uni. :(
p.s. the weather is so nice and cool now :D it’s a perfect day to be on the beach playing volleyball or drinking martinis. or something.

hmm just finished math tuition. BL and i were reliving our memories by listening to certain songs. it’s interesting how memories can be evoked by just one scent, one picture, one video, or in this case, one song. like the song above! haha oh man it was funny how it was my fave song but i had no idea who it was by or where it was from. that and naive too. because they both played on the radio at that time… which was almost 3 years ago? we were like “wow” for a while, like stunned, thinking about the days associated with those songs. ahh miss the sec 2 and 3 days. i was such a carefree and happy girl then. haha. i would take long bus rides home from nanyang everyday on 852, and then there was this once when this song came on, and i was passing the stretch of yiochukang road right before katib mrt; the road was framed with these trees whose canopies spread over on both sides to form a sort-of tunnel over the road, and i remember watching the dappled sunlight, which formed lace-like patterns on the roads, as the bus whizzed past, and with the strains of guitar from the earphones and the nice cozy temperature inside the bus, i thought to myself: all is right and well in the world. :) lol, but that was so long ago. i haven’t felt like that in so long. :/
oh right. where was i before i went down memory lane… i wanted to send the songs to BL’s phone, but then i realised she didn’t bring it. and she told me there’s something wrong with her phone, yet again, so now she’s stuck with one circa 2001, with no camera and bluetooth, only infrared. HAHA don’t worry you’ll get an awesome new phone soon too!
and during lunch band of brothers was on max, so i was trying to explain the concept of paratroopers and radars to my gran. which wasn’t so difficult, except for the fact i was trying to explain in dialect. i was trying to tell her how the us invented this jet that can evade radars, but in the end i gave up. haha. didn’t know the word for radar in shanghainese. then mom joined us and gave us the whole rundown of what happened at normandy beach. ’twas a blast from the past guys. i’m glad we aren’t embroiled in some war now. i rather 10 times of ib torture than singapore getting involved in a war haha. that’s how grateful i am.
hmm yesterday i met kk and omy to study at kap. well the plan was to study at the new starbucks near coro but it was filled with hwach people so, to no avail. study study all the way (which reminds me, ong ming yi is crazy. she mugged until she got a giant blister on her pinkie from too much friction because she wrote too much), and then vernon joined us and then we had dinner at this peranakan place. hmm the food was nice, but i made the mistake of saying that it looked unappetizing in front of the owner. whooooops. got death glares from kk and my. haha oh man. hm ming look slightly down though… cheer up babe it’ll tide over! don’t think so much and just do it, haha
oh yeah i saw A LOT of ac people. well, singapore is too small and there are only a few places the people from elite schools can go to study – i.e. KAP. what else. hmm oh kk insulted my thighs. she said they were fat and wobbling all over the place, WHAT THE. i was sad for a while. :( oh yeah what else… oh right, i went home and i got an upset stomach. guess peranakan food ain’t for me, haha.

hmm guys i bought a new bag. it’s from jansport and it’s in this gorgeous shade of dark pink, with very winter-like diamond patterns. can’t explain well but i love it! when i was deliberating whether to buy it or not, i called pam and she was like “just buy la, if not you surely won’t be able to sleep at night” but i didn’t heed her advice and i ended up really thinking about the silly bag at night, so i went back to get it after visiting the shop for another time. viola! new backpack :) to motivate my studies. (haha as if)
anw check this out people:
it’s so kooky :D except for the screeching at the last part, it’s pretty much perfect. prolly my fav song by the cribs, it’s so sweet. hmm currently lacking the first album, which this song is on.
and franz ferdinand’s no you girls is such a catchy song. it’s stuck in my head now. haha. go check out the music video, it’s pretty funny. it’s like the band is playing their song and then there’s this whole bunch of women dressed like lady gaga (i.e. leotards, no pants, weirdly-shaped hats and asymmetrical hemlines) goofing around them then the guys are just ignoring them while playing the song. awesome stuff. maybe i’ll post it next time!
btw i know you won’t read this but thank you! for sending me all the cribs’ stuff i mean. i spent so long trying to find but to no avail. and it’s such a coincidence too! (uh transformers? haha) i’m such a happy girl now. :D thankyouthankyou hehe.
kay guys, back to mugging. i have to understand physics concepts and memorise all the definitions… all 50 pages of them… by today, cos tomorrow’s reserved for chem -____-
BLAH it’s ALWAYS right before the exams that i suddenly understand physics. it’s so strange. it’s like suddenly i can do the questions. well, maybe because tchiew only started to teach seriously this year. plus he teaches too fast!!!! he zooms by and all the guys in class are like ‘ohhh i understand’ after he explains it only one time and i’m there like “uhh can you please repeat” and everybody laughs at my slowness. :( if only he taught more that last year instead of kidding around all the time, then maybe i wouldn’t have been so confused in year 5.
grr stupid de broglie. stupid albedo. stupid kay queue queue over arrrh. stupid quantum/newtonian laws. sigh. physics. bane of my existence (after econs and english paper 2, in that order).
but at least i have nice music to keep me company :)
