Arizona!

Sweet summer's gone all too soon,
and my heart's losing itself to sleep
Today he's gone to seed.

Losing touch with the hurricane streets,
our souls gone to slumber.
I try to move forward,
but he kisses me,
How brilliant it is when he kisses me.
and that's enough said,
It's enough a story told.

I ABHOR MRS SNG.
menopausal old hag. And with good reason too.

Today during linguistics, she took out all our assignments and started tossing about insults about how amateur we are and how we should just drop out of linguistics and go poly etc etc all the shite we are already used to hearing. Then suddenly she threw down KW's paper and hurled more insensitive things about him and how useless he is. I kid you not. She actually said the piece of work was rubbish and that he should get out of her linguistics class and showed the whole class the big fat 'E' she slashed across it.

Tell me, how do you enjoy a subject when you hate the one who's supposed to guide you to a distinction? I swear you could hear whispers of 'Bitch!' echoing throughout the class throughout the entire lesson. But obviously she was oblivious to it because all she ever hears is the sound of her own voice, telling us how intelligent she really is and how we are just mere footnotes at the corner of her bum. Had to hold Jullian down because he was about to give mrs sng a real ass-whipping.

Screw you, we're gonna ace linguistics, mrs sng.

I think i actually miss mr poh. Good heavens.

*****************end rant.

Was almost late for school today! Stupid git of a bus driver obviously saw me running after his 154 bus like a loony and couldnt wait five more seconds. Didn't help that all the working people/students were staring, all bug-eyed.

So for my first editorial assignment, i have to write a piece about the PRC scholars conference currently being held in CJC. In other words = TALKING AND INTERVIEWING AND TRANSLATING IN CHINESE. Cow's bum.

Today we also celebrated Oliver's birthday. YES. okay. Dayna was stupid enough to heap up whipped cream on the cake, which melted by the time Oliver got there. I was also stupid enough to put too much whipped cream in my mouth and then spit it all out on the floor + an unfortunate few. Hilariousity. Than oliver wanted to play us a song on the piano and we were like o_O, but since its his birthday, we oblidged and heard him play the 'Maple Leaf' song for about 84875628years before he stopped and we all ran to class.

Got drenched in the rain today. It was fun. I slipped a bit at the bustop, but i'm hoping nobody saw that.

Adam lambert is hot hot shizzle! Who has very good skin, i noticed. Tiara loves him too! YAY! go lambert fans!



Goodnight all :D




You lied for two whole years. How do you think we feel?

Her dress whispers 'reckless'

Sheets.
sheets of paper,
music and words,
oh these lovely words,
You know me more
than i know myself.

Lost.
Lost in this magic,
sparks and rhymes,
Today i read you
in my eyes.

_______________________________

Too many hilarious things are happening these days, but because there's simply no time to put it down in words, i simply forget it all! Tragedy tragedy. Must post more in future.

So anyway, since i end at five o clock nearly everyday, there's barely time for rest. At all! Every spare moment is spent rifling through the literature text, pain-stakingly looking out for signs of imagery and hidden meanings. Since everyone in my class has taken lit before, its a real struggle to catch up with those with prior experience. But Lit classes have been most enjoyable so far (also due to the the fact that my lit tutor looks a bit like a platypus provides all the more entertainment.) and i'll make sure to excell :D

Linguistics lessons would also be fun if we weren't thought by the single most anal woman in the history of the world. Who by the way has also vair hairy armpits and wears those impossibly baggy tent-like-blouses. Not a wise choice. Besides all the unnecessary armpit-flashing, she yells at us for half an hour and in the worst english. I swear i almost choked on my own tongue when she called Amethyst 'Artemis' and Amos 'Anus'. Sheesh man!

Oh and today KW had to prod me with a ruler when i fell asleep in the library. So about ten minutes later we were rushing upstairs and proclaimed late for GP once again. LOL! i'm so sorry, but i'm extremely hard to wake up. Thank goodness he was pretty nice about it, but i don't think he'll let me sleep no more.

5am tmr, so here's to an early night! see you guys soon.

Pictures from sam's farewell.





P.S. i got into editorial AND music ministry! praise the lord. And i also wish that annoying guy would quit calling me and asking me to come for saturday practices.

Shiver.

Petrified! (hint, look at josh.)

________________________________________________

Second week of COLLEGE and the studying has already begun. *chorus moaning.

Every math lesson, me and may are groaning away about partial fractions, and what on earth we were thinking when we took up h2 math. Has amath lessons not been a sufficient measure of how well i do in math?!?

Its ironic that my first year in a mixed school, and the valentine's day gifts haul has taken a downturn. Valentine's day was always a 'larger than life' event in SAC, and it was a common sight to see SACians carrying towers of drooping flowers, chocolate and assorted boxes on the 14th of febuary. Something else i miss about Vday in secondary school!

In a quick turn of events (and rather last minute decisions), I'm now running the competitive cross-country race with the nuttiest bunch in class! We were rooting for a good PE teacher that isn't a slave driver like that Issac dude/ODAC instructor and in the end we got this middle-aged woman who didn't seem all too bad :) HALLELUJAH. God works in mysterious ways, especially for the not-so-fit.

This monday we had the Parents-teachers Meeting which was in actual fact just a one-and-a-half-hour conference where parents slept to the sounds of Brother Paul droning away. Had a bit of a hilarious moment with Clare, Jacinta and Sheral and the mcdonalds meal! Dad & Mom eventually turned up at 7:50 and we rushed to the Performing Arts Centre for the conference in a hurry.

Five reasons why dad should not be allowed to conferences like this.

1) Kept standing up/sitting down/laughing like a horse at the wrong parts.

2) Because he exclaimed 'Eh, got snacks or not ah??' in the middle of the parent volunteer speech and made everyone look at us.

3) Kept making mom laugh with his inappropriate comments about brother paul the teaching faculty in general, while they should in actual fact be listening to the intriguing college report of 09, as it concerns my future. But no, playing childish games with each other is much, much important.

4) Kicked the parent in front of him (and in the HEAD, mind you), due to his abnormally long legs and constant fidgeting

5) Because he was insistent on going up to my principal to shake his hand and call him 'YO BRUDD-ER.'


Also, i think my linguistics teacher a.k.a Science Lab Aunty Lookalike saw me reading a borrowed seventeen magazine during the conference. Ah helll.



I HAVE THE SUCKIEST TIMETABLE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. srsly. Five everyday?! That's a twelve hour school day of torture.

There are all these good movies i'm missing because of the lack of time.


More work to do. See ya'll soon!

I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer.

He reads at the gardener's gate,
where everything grows,
but no one should go where I've gone.
Tonight i won't come back,
to save you from the lost.

He dreams at the doorway,
without ever going in,
but no one should see what I've seen,
Tonight if you rely on me,
you will fall.

He breaks the sky from the ground,
Its where he looks for me,
but i won't be found.
Tonight i will learn to love you much better,
Someday i will make you mine.

But not tonight,
not tonight.

ITS A FLAME, NOT A LEAF.
(for those rather misinformed about the CJC crest)


Well as everyone has been harping about orientation and how lame/awesome/crappy/boring it was, CJCIANS HAVE BEEN HAVING A HELL OF A TIME. And no i'm not just saying that to promote my school.

We sure do have the kinkiest games. How many schools actually have games where girls put their legs around guys in one long row and have almost-scandalous-kisses um nevermind. Shall not soil our school's oh-so-wonderful reputation.



Some unforgettable orientation moments (cause i'm lazy to write everything down, like that.)

1. Seeing our IG facil called Moses (i kid you not.) prance around in his birthday suit as the love angel, commonly known as Cupid. Red wings sprouting out of his back and the very unrealistic eight-pack made it even more of a hoot.

2. Watching stephanie sharing a spagetti stick with some other dude, MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. by the way, it doesn't hurt to mention that the stick was about 5cm long. Hmmm.

3. Antagonizing Sarah G by sitting next to Eagle boy TWICE in a single week. Tis is fate.

4. Clocking this ah lian with my paddle after she called all the girls in my boat 'BITCHES' just because we won the dragon boat race. Up yours!

5. Having dance partners who have zero flexibility and two left feet. One of them actually slapped my face when we were supposed to go in the opposite direction.

6. Plunging my whole face into a plate of pink paint while playing PAINT TWISTER with my IG. It just involves a massive white sheet and plates of dye (that does not come out even after hours of scrubbing) in place of the coloured circles. Amusing.

7. Watching that stupid video about flying geese going Honk Honk Honk, and seeing the teachers trying not to laugh since it was supposed to be an 'educational' video.

8. Getting scolded by the stuffy old hag of a librarian. It was ironic because she actually yelled 'Can you all stop talking?!', so amy and I started laughing like mad. So we got kicked out. Boohoo.

9. By the way, made some awesome new friends like Amethyst, Tiara and Mosquito, because bizarre names are supposedly 'IN' right now.

10. Three girls dragged me to go join modern dance so hell, i just signed up for it and agreed to go for the audition. Who knows, maybe I'll ace it and become an international ballet dancer. Another observation: MODERN DANCERS ALL LOOK THE SAME. so i will defy the odds :D watch me.



Unfortunately, our facils neglected to bring a camera around, so there were no snapshots of us covered in mud/paint/dead fish. Just some random photos, credits to clare, the resident camwhore.





Yesterday Samster left to go to The Land Of Hot Surfers to study for um, five years...? Haha you can tell i haven't been keeping up with her. Infact i thought she left a month ago, until she invited all of us for her farewell bbq.

Anyway before we got to the sob-sob part, it was really fun to see everyone in different uniforms and talking about our orientations, but still manage to get along so well! Cause we're cool and awesome :D


We had 'reunion dinner' and milled around for about an hour till Sam left. It was pretty sad, and people were tearing and all that jazz. Its for the best i suppose. Just have to make a little bit more of an effort to keep in touch, and everything will be fine!

Yeap that aside. I'm so glad the whole drama on class transfers and combinations and stupid bald teachers IS OVER. Want to thank god for helping me through the week and helping me make all the right decisions! And mom who was actually willing to come all the way down to CJC to fight with brother paul. THANKS MOM.

Also, I love saying that i am now in 'College' and going for 'lectures'. Yes, it is a bit childish and i'm sure the novelty will wear off soon but for now... have fun everyone!


See ya'll in a bit.

Dancing with the smokescreen.

He said that i was special,
They said that i was different.
But this time,
we're cutting ties with the lies,
perhaps it was all a dream.

But it seemed all too real.
And make-believe doesn't make the cut,
Drifting on silver linings,
dancing on the greener grass,
Oh, what a dream.

Well fate has finally revealed itself. In the most up-to-date, technologically advanced way as possible.

Obviously, the biggest news that hit the newsstand this week was the posting of schools. On friday, got the first message from clarebear at about 630 telling me the aussome news: That she got into CJ! Whoopie. But then of course got the jitters because i didn't get any message, and the incoming messages, calls and mother prancing around room in sheer excitement. Freaked out for an hour before i finally got mine.

So when it came, i just felt relieved. Happy for the most part, but also a bit... bleh. HA! how vague i am with my words.

Anyway we went shopping for Ainsley's present at parkway on Saturday and looked who we bumped into.

Jenny Jennifer! If you look very closely we are flaring our nostrils to imitate the one and only.

Did some visiting/collecting ang pao moneh after that before rushing all the way back to the east for 'reunion dinner' with the usual bums. It was fun stuff! We played the most childish games. Like ahhem, musical chairs. Can't believe we are already seventeen this year, cause i seems we're stuck in the childhood days.

Can't wait till we meet up again which is FEBUARY 13TH aka the day before valentine's day. In town. Cause CJCians are par-tay animals like that.

Today at church and the mountain hike was feeling all weird. Its the first day of school jitters! I am so nervous i doubt i can sleep tonight. Don't know whether i'm feeling excited, apprehensive or just plain scared.

I guess i'll find out tomorrow, right? :)

Hope to report back with good news. See you guys in a bit!
