So tell me darlin', do you wish we fall in love?

Slip your joy in
where the sun don't shine,
You are a thousand diamonds
around my feet,
Radiant steps don't cost a dime,
No, not in my world.

I'll bring you a slice of good life, honey,
If you'd dance
like you don't care.

Sidewalk tunes don't cost a dime,
not when we sing them.

Distracted diving and delving into pens and papers, nights at the wrong places and late-night novels. Life can be strangely satisfying and frustrating, at the same time. Studying is so not my forte.

JC life, as I can summarise, is like the O-level-cramming-jaunt, except 24/7.

Onto probably the most heavily commented photo album in facebook history! Kai, I abhor you.

The Bin's fascination of Simlin's shorts was nauseating, to say the least.




Newly coined maxim of: NKL (nicholas-kenneth-leon) the new LOL.

Check out, our bling, yo.
Yiwen try to be cool!

vomit face.


Mozzie proceeded to do the robo-dance with me after a while. That is why we are friends.




Best shot of the day, actually.

Moz: Let's act like coolies!


Holidays have been so-so. Sleepover stint is officially over. Went PRAWNING with Dayna and we didn't even catch one prawn. Tres pathetique. Haha sleepover=phaaail.

Crashed clauds, and had some major snooze fest. Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing with my life (doesn't mean its one heck of a ride though! Life is a highway.) Breakfast at Tiffany's and ice-cream for breakfast as always:)

I miss mother. Thank god she's coming back tomorrow, the house is an absolute mess.

Cobra starship and Shiny Toy Guns on the feel-good playlist this week. Also, I think that Ellen is probably the best thing that has happened to American Idol since... well, since ever. Who needs ya paula! Here's looking forward to next year.

PW, is the bane of my existence.

Cheerio everyone, have a good last day till the torture begins.

Love Song For No One.

And you know,
I've got no qualms
about walking on the street tonight,
I'm waiting for you.
Lover, i never met.

Crossing pavements,
I'm falling off the edge of the world here,
But you're nowhere to be found.
Don't take your time any longer,
Lover, I've never met.

Sunrise,
How you come too soon.
How you ebb away.

This is a love song
To someone I don't know.
I've enough of being alone,
Love.

School has been a blast. Minus the endless tests and piling homework. We manage!

Been rather busy, especially since there was Uncle Berwin's wake this week and a show we had to play this week.

It was real fun tho! (the gig, not the wake.) :D I miss all of that. We played a few original numbers, the final unmasking off 'The Dreamer'! It was epic. Brilliant arrangement from Cal, i am so glad we've got him to add spice to our lyrics. New place which was pretty wicked, Hall's Hideway, if i recall correctly. More detail on Jake's!

ANYWAY back to school life.
I crowned Kai the new ice-queen. We had this ridiculous debate session against the USSR & China state, and obviously we were totally unprepared and was nearly thrashed by the other group, even though we DID have the debating pro AMANDA. Ahhem. SURPRISINGLY, the whole class voted for us! Uh huh :D

We made an awesome poster too.


Suat Ning: Eh do you watch bananas in pyjamas?
Me: YES.
SN: Okay you be C1 and i be C2!! (for Cube 1 and cube 2)
Me: Huh?

So we (more like SHE) devised this little routine, inspired by the likes of Bananas in Pyjamas.

SN: C1, are YOU thinking what i'm thinking?
Me: I think i am C2!
*simultaneously do that head-bobbing action while SN makes 'booing' sound.

But you guys probably don't get it.

And a little something we were going during SD lesson that made lao shi so flipping mad when we actually thought it would made her laugh. It's lao shi's top ten favourite lines!!! Which i wrote out for chinese penmanship practise. BTW, suat ning is my mentor for chinese and she is absolutely USELESS. hahahaha.

I'm point number 4. Wow wee.
but i think point 5 is the most hilarious.

Will throw in other significant moments from the past few days.

Yi wen: Ms Yoong has a lot of eyelids.

Amos: *says some mushy stuff
Me: Amos, you're such an emotional and touchy person.
Amos: Well, i know how to touch a girl's soft spot.
*SILENCE.
Amos: In her heart!

Ms Yoong during math lecture: STACY CAN YOU PLEASE CALM DOWN.



Okay that aside.
Still can't get much studying done! So dead for math.

Rather glad that we're skipping PE tomorrow.


oh btw, american idol was phwoarrr.
WAIT. A tribute to awesome megan joy who got 'eliminated' last week.

Was so depressed that i didnt see much point watching AI anymore. But this week's one was mind-blowing.

MATT, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WAS WICKED.


DIG THE HAT, BABY! (and the vocals. all that jazz.)
Adam lambert has redeemed himself in my eyes from that awful Ring Of Fire performance. He looked a bit like David Tutera tonight. But still hot *winks.

Tomorrow' s the last day of the week. Weekend, here i come!
Night folks.

There goes my hero, He's ordinary.

Ups and downs,
we are in for a ride
and love is our coaster.
Where are we going here?
Cause i don't seem to know.

So don't force a smile dear,
You know that
there are better days to come,
Put on that hat and we'll go to places,
Yes we'll go to places.

Hey all :) Really hoped everyone enjoyed the festive season(and also the long holidays for those currently in school!)

CNY has always been one heck of a party in my family because well, of the tons of relatives. While i do try my best not to be money-minded(but hell, who isn't?) this does equal to more of the moolah, so there! So we bear with the uncomfortable clothes and the awkward silences and the even worse relatives in exchange for a little pocket money. Simple enough system, aye?

This year wasn't much different, except with the fact that Grandma has been different ever since being hospitalized. And that affected the festive spirit alot, and its been difficult for everyone to deal with it as well. But with God's grace, i believe that he can heal Gran and help us overcome this together :)




Today out of sheer desperation, decided to go for a jog with Princess Justin. Was quite hilarious. Well it wasn't really a jog. More like alot of brisk walking and the occasional run in short bursts plus talking all sorts of nonsense.

Also, he tripped on a log five seconds after i said 'Hey, watch out for that log.'

Well, he's going to be heading back to aussie this friday so wish you best of luck! We better hang out more next time! See ya in April/July :)

Oh and on the very exciting list of what's happening on friday, POSTING OF SCHOOLS. Gack. Ah well i guess its about time i got off my lazy arse and actually do something other than sit in front of this lousy screen. Hell, the computer chair has my ass groove on it. And handwriting has been reduced to nothing more than mere chicken scratch after the lack of writing.

Goodnight all, have a swell week! :)

for one night only.

Really,
this was nothing more
than i thought it was.

But you,
oh how you
manage to tread on autumn leaves,
and deliver the script
which such certainty.

____________________________________

I don't know how to feel. Listless, maybe.



This week had been a mish-mash of various activites, and it never seems to end. And i swear, the jetlag is becoming more annoying. I hate waking up at two in the afternoon feeling like an absolute hobo (yes, I believe I've hit rockbottom.), although i must admit i rather enjoy the 4am nights. Starworld shows the best half-hour hits in the dead of the night, and tell me, who does not love old reruns on seinfeld? and Friends, According to Jim etcetc.

Its a pity that this NLOFC or NLFOC or a conference of some sort had to happen this week when class chalet was on. Felt absolutely bummed out that i had to miss sleeping over as well as the 'big' second night at Aloha Loyang, and attended the conference at night instead. The first day was wicked tho. We totally rock at mahjong yo.

Also, played a small acoustic set at Jake's, and the crowd was good :) Wheeee. Although J totally tripped over the wires and his head almost got stuck in the ice bucket. If there's someone clumsier than me, its gotta be him. I really love playing at smaller gigs because of the aussome people, besides the fact that there are less indie snobs at mainstream haters to leap at your throat if we even PLAY a BLG hit.

Anyway, it was really good. I miss that.

Oh here's a shot of us celebrating gerry's surprise. Seventeen is such a useless age(i reckon we should just skip that one and go to fabulous eighteen!), but we all have to go through it. And totally rocking the karaoke place at Kallang. HILARIOUS.




And also found out results were coming out next monday. Thus, the listless-ness.

Today on the way to meeting some church folks, a bunch of dudes wearing ACJC tees came on the train. I guess i kinda realised how much i wanted to get into that school at that point of time.

But as the saying goes, this is all but a 'pipe dream'. Besides, the release of JAE's cut-off points pretty much shook me back to the real world. This feeling of anxiety is the worst. Sometimes i think if i had just thought DSAing when it was the right time and thinking ahead when i should have, things would be more different.

But i guess now there's no other choice but to open up to other options and just pray. Really really hard.



************major moping shite over.


Its time to hit the snooze button. The LAST meeting is held tomorrow at RELC, and i have to wake up at daybreak just to get there in time. Aww cow's bum. Goodnight all, have a good weekend :)

my thoughts, you can't decode.

Firstly.

HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY JEN!

i hope you enjoyed your 'surprise'[marred by the fact that i had to nearly stick my whole head into your bedroom with ten people hovering behind me waiting with bited(batted?!) till you noticed! and also because we were made to sit around the table and spew nice things about jennifer, but we kept digressing to a myraid of other topics like uki being an indonesian maid or testing the keen sharpness of a porcelain knife.

I guess we were all too shy to say stuff, and interrupted too many times by the very mad hyperactive and amiable Rusty and Lucy's piercing shrieks. Haaa. Just want to say you're a really cool friend with an aussome personality, whose cheerfulness and AWARD-WINNING SMILE[yelch!] never fails to cheer us all up. Man i sound like im writing a phoney testimonial. But anyway. You're a really really good friend i can count on. As i said, here's to years of nose-flaring and bra-snapping!

i wont say this to you in the face but you rock and love you lots. grow up faster!





Right so lotsa things have happened, besides jennifer's birthday thingy. Went over to claudia's with patrick so that we could study together and learn chemistry from the very maestro himself. Emilia's come over to sleepover and study[PRODUCTIVE. surprisingly.] and ACJC's open house[ssssh.]

Amanda wants to write a book called How to Crap 101. with pretty useful anecdotes from Clare Big Gob of course. CLARE YOU BETTER STOP BEING TO PESSIMISTIC and get your ass down to start studying. i should be one to talk. crud.

Lizzie's letter arrived in the mail together with all the frilly curly dark writing that, if not from having read stuff from here before, would have been illegable to anyone else. It made me smile like an idiot. Very nicely illustrations, and apt ones too! Say hello back to gregory ze flying unicorn to me liz! Ya da man. i upload pictures soon yo.

Awright 11 more days to O levels. It is a rather good thing that the drumset it coming later, or i would not be able to concentrate and bang away for hours on end.

Anyone who wants to preorder the twilight soundtrack?
No im not a twilight fanatic, just a paramore one. TWO SONGS. and some other crappy ones, i do hope the rob pattison singing on the track isn't the actor. Is his crappy acting not bad enough? ANd now he wants to inflict more damage to our eardrums, go figure. This is the complete tracklist, tell me if you're interested!

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

for you.

I miss the bubusal oil conversations, messy marshmallow fights and bald haircuts. I miss it when our dancing spazzes to here we again, and crying over the latest season of Grey's anatomy[I KNOW!]. I even miss the times when you guys put makeup on me when im at top snooze mood[but that tradition has been carried on my other people XP]. most of all, i just miss you guys.

So the past weekend has been a myraid of study groups at an assortment of places, some productive and some not, but always full of fun.

Friday went with Mary a.k.a vainpot, prettay patty and stacey to airport.




Got immediately sidetracked by this fabulous crayon woodblock thingy. Who can resist crayons, tell me?! Patty got plenty excited by the masses of paper and we almost shoved little kids aside to do our very own sketches. How uncivilised, but everyone gotsa have their fun.

Mary had her emo hat on and refused to use any colour other then black to do the sketches.

Popeyes to eat.

Had a lughing fit when chewy and maryilyn started recounting the volleyball story/H-chronicles with very added dramatic effect. Toilet escapades and what not.

Ended up scaring the this poor toilet attendent because of my mistimed jumping out to try and scare stacey and mary. Got kicked out of popeyes, i think we were lucky we didnt get banned from changi airport altogether, with the complete ruckus we were making.

Then stacey decided to run away and pretend to go home. She met shanna dyn and they went for their freaking skytrain adventures?! Oh cheap thrills by bored people.

We are hugging a model of an almond/walnut.

Kiasu much?!

Hhahha.

We stole paper. nah, not that much.

Stacey and mary went home, went back to foodcourt to study a little with shanna and patti.

Of course, not much studying done because i fell asleep again.

AND THEY DID THIS?!
i dont understand, really. ME?! a rapist.

Went to candy empire as we always do and almost got a heart atack when i saw this pile of heaven.

But shanna and pat didnt let me have any, on account that i get another tennis-ball eye episode.

Shanna you look like a dead fish. FISH?!

HAHAHAHAHA.

how insanitary.

Oh saturday morning my dad tried to unscrew a bottle of wine with the corkscrew from my army knife and look what he did.

Now it is ruined.

Then went to cut my hair.

when i turned around got a shock of my life, there was practically a wall of hair surrounding the chair, that shows you how much the lady chopped off. And so ends my official reign as The Fringe. It is a drastic change, no doubt.

Studied with emi and renee later at airport AGAIN.

the bus right was plenty amusing.

Was raining cows and llamas, and this woman fell on her face when she got on bus 24, and when i tried to help she got all huffy. Really.

Rainy days never bode well with sneakers.

And emilia.

Renee went home around nine plus and i broguth emi to the colouring place and we had muchos fun!

Church on sunday!
Polariod we took ages ago.
Then study with shanna at the expo later on.

when i was sleeping.
Monday everyone ponned school. Well eleven. To cram for SS i suppose, but it was also one of the funniest school days ever. SAL was driving me insane, And patricia got really pissed even though her actual body wasnt with us!! HAHAH.

'Please forgive me patricia!!'

Sat next to Sam, she is quite funneh.

Ms voon also made me sit next to sharon, and sharon let out a long sigh and said 'Omg i am so dead.' what the hell is that supposed to mean?! EEKS.

Had pretty much an embarrasing skirt incident, SAL drawing on my neck, and a struggle to push crabby's tank into the teachers table.

Went pats to study, and bought a hot dog bun as a peace offering, which she gladly accepted.

Also, she gave me a tiger with magnetic paws!

It acoompnied me through the whole day of studying SS.

SS was okay, but i didnt finish SBQ. Sheesh.

Lunch with sam renee sal and pat, we were being very immature. also it was a very long lunch that lasted two hours at least.

to pat's house![we are going jogging later! ]
