Okay. It's official.
I absolutely HATE wordpress/LJ.

I have no clue how to edit and/or post my own HTML-CSS based layouts on it. So I suppose I'm sticking with blogger. What a waste of an hour D:

I think I'll cheer myself up with some fanfiction reading.

I can still hear the sounds of Michael Buble's 'Home' playing from the New Year's Dinner my estate's having. It kinda reminds me of my school's Graduation/Award Ceremony.

Here's another one of my recollections.


Part II
PSLE had ended about two weeks ago and I was just back from the US.
Every day was filled with either an assembly, a soccer tournament, a basketball game, a friendly match of Captain's Ball between classmates, a Chinese movie[Death Note, I Not Stupid Too, etc.], multiple rounds of UNO, Checkers, Card games, Monopoly, Cluedo or the long wait for one of our class' computer terminals to be freed. Needless to say, all of us were riotously happy at the total lack of schoolwork.
One of the days during recess, HS, C, SH & I were standing/sitting around our usual study table in the Holy Mary Garden and I was sitting opposite him. We were all talking and as luck would have it, got on to the subject of crushes.
I remember turning to him and saying, "Well, it's totally obvious. You're in love with _______, right?"
He looked at me and did this smirk-smile and if you weren't paying attention to his eyes, you would have thought that he was tickled that you thought so. But I looked at him, I mean - really looked.
His eyes seemed almost guilty. I think that was what told me that what I had said was pretty much completely true.

I don't blame him though. The girl in question is really pretty and smart and friendly and kind and one of my best friends so it's no wonder he's fallen[Fell?] for her.
And you know, I think I've got nothing more to add to this entry.
Nothing. Nadda. Zilch.

P.S I AM NOT JEALOUS D<

51 things girls didn't know about guys.
@ 23:04

51 Things Girls Didn't Know About Guys From A -cough-Boy's POV.

1. Guys hate sluts.

2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" - two phrases
guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.

3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep,
they always think about the girl they truly care about.

4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what
they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.

5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

7. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest. Unless they're goin for the let-her-complain-to-you-and-then-have-her-realize-how-wonderful-and-nice-you-are method.

8. A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.

9. Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.

10. Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.

11. Guys get jealous easily.

12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.

13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.."would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.

14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.

15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.

16. Girls are guys' weaknesses.

17. Guys are very open about themselves.

18. It's good to test a guy first before you trust him. But don't him wait too long.

19. Your best friend, whom your boyfriend seeks help from about his problems with you may end up being admired by your boyfriend.

20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

21. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

22. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

23. Guys will brag about anything.

24. Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. We rarely use beautiful. If a guy uses that, he likes you.

25. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

26. Guys seek for advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then we're all confused.

27. Any guy could write out a rulebook or advice book for flirting, but no guy can write out a book about relationships.

28. Try to be as straightforward as possible.

29. A guy has to experience rejection, because if he's too-good-never-been-busted, never been in love and hurt, he won't be mature and grown up.

30. If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.

31. No matter how much guys talk about asses and boobs, personality
is key.

32. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.

33. Guys worry about the thin line between being compassionate and being whipped.

34. If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and is spazzing inside.

35. When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is. Guys rarely say that.

36. When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."

37. Guys don't really have final decisions.

38. If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.

39. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.

40. When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.

41. Guys like femininity not feebleness.

42. Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.

43. A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.

44. Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.

45. Everything in moderation. Put on makeup, wear perfume. Just not too much.

46. Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.

47. Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.

48. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them. *

49. A guy would give his left nut to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.

50. No guy can handle all his problems on his own. He's just too stubborn to admit it.

51. Not all guys are assholes. Just because ONE is a jackass doesnt mean he represents ALL of us.

Got this in a forwarded email and I say it sounds pretty true.

@ 00:36

I don't think that anyone's reading this. I sincerely hope not. But then again, who would care for the reminiscing of a teenage girl?






Part I
It was somewhere in September, dangerously close to PSLE. Miss Ng had taken to giving us Problem Sum tests from our Maths textbook and I had forgotten all about it until just before the test. Thankfully, her lessons were after recess so I could spend the time studying.

I remember telling HS. & C. that I'd be in the Holy Mary Garden and they said they'd meet me there after eating. After that, everything comes off as so dream-like and fuzzy, I can't totally recall what happened.

It hadn't rained yet so the study tables were still dry. I remember walking towards the nearest one and plonking myself on the seat unceremoniously, completely not noticing that that guy was sitting at the table too.

He didn't say anything. And vice-versa.

It was sort of like a mutual and wordless understanding between two friends. Or enemies. Or frenemies[friend+enemy], whichever you want to call it.
Quite predictably, I was nervous as hell. Therefore, even more predictably, I didn't manage to memorise a thing about the problem sums and their formulas.[Thank God for coincidences: Ms Ng forgot about the test.] But it didn't really matter.

I got something out of the incident.

Out of the blue, he asked me which school I was applying for and whether it was my first choice. I told him that I wanted to get into St. Nick's.

He asked me why I didn't want to try for RGS.

I gave him a crappy excuse saying that it was so far from my house, blahblahblah.

And you know what he said?

"But you deserve it."
DESERVE.
I think that was one of my favourite moments with him. Ever.

I mean, it's one thing to be accepted by a guy as a friend.
It's a completely other thing to have his support for your ambitions.

I know that this may seem really trivial and not worth mentioning at all, but I really feel like telling someone about this, even if the 'someone' is a complete stranger.
Spread the love, yo ;D



So that's the end of my Part I.
I'll post my other memories soon.

To Camwhore or not to Camwhore, that is the question.

My adorable kitten who is in need of a home. One of a pair.
Ain't she C-Y-UUU-TE? :D

Her, again. Or he. I haven't figured out yet.

Again. A bit blurry but totally cute if I do say so myself.

Both of them (:

My cousins and I at our family's Christmas Party.
I'm the one in bright green, to the right ;]

I've been seriously obsessed with Robin/Raven from Teen Titans lately. This is the product of reading too many fluffy Rob/Rae fanfictions and browsing through DeviantArt.
The picture itself is kinda sucky but since I haven't got a scanner, this'll have to do.

Heh.

I'm too lazy to upload any more.

I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Getting You Off (Me and You) - Fall Out Boy
Last year’s wishes are this year’s apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
‘Cause I know how the words get to you (off)

We’re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
2x

Collect the bad habits that you couldn’t bear to keep
Out of the woods but i love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kiss, teeth stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds

We’re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you

TA-TA TO FRIVOLITY
@ 16:06

The Christmas hiiighhhhh I've been running on seems be quickly purging itself from my system. So, here's to my last day of freedom before starting tuition and studying for real.

I know I'm gonna miss it.

Which kid wouldn't? Or human, for that matter?

MERRY CHRISTMAS (:
Tuesday, 25 December 2007 @ 21:40

Sometimes I wonder what is it about Christmas that I really look forward to.

I mean, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the fact that we get presents but I do think I enjoy Christmas Mass quite a lot. Firstly, I think it's cause' I always fascinated by how many people actually attend the Mass. And of course, my mum lets me go shopping for new clothes to wear TO the Mass. Haha XD

Moving on, this year's present haul was great. The family party wasn't too bad either. In fact, it was seriously fun, especially during the gift exchange segment where my aunts and uncles went mad and I started laughing hysterically and had to ask Nigel to help me take pictures.
I can't wait for Angs' Day Bowling Night.

I got 6 Batman graphic novels, an Aly & AJ CD, a gray and black hoodie, a Batman Begins DVD, a Billabong pencil case & a dinky plaid visor. Good eh?
I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging.
Really.

Merry Christmas, y'all!

So, I've finally gotten off my lazy ass to post something substantial. But it's basically a quick summary of what's happened during the days after my last post so this probably doesn't count as something 'substantial'.

My parents, He-who-shall-not-be-mentioned[my horrible cousin who's EVIL personified] & I caught National Treasure 2 on 20th Dec at PS and BOY! It was just frickin' awesome. No wait, 'awesome' doesn't even begin to describe it.

ZHSS' briefing and school supply/uniform buying has come and gone and I'm now looking forward to the Sec 1 Orientation camp on 3rd Jan 08. It sounds exciting. But I may just be biased since I ♥ camps ;3

Confession was on Friday. I do believe it was the longest Confession I've ever attended. And the most meaningful one for me too. "Why?" You may ask.

Well, it was the first time I ever told anyone other than my mother that at one point during this year, I didn't believe in G*d.
But that doesn't mean I still don't believe in G*d. In fact, I think I've become closer to G*d after that episode because I've experienced not believing in Him and I feel much, much better knowing that my belief in Him is totally something I TRULY believe in instead of the loving-Him-cause'-someone-said-so I did before the non-belief part.

Does that make any sense at all? I don't think so.

Anyway, my family's Christmas BBQ turned out really fun. Especially when my older cousins started acting drunk by singing Christmas carols and Disney Songs while playing Gin Rummy. LOL, man XD It was hilarious.

Live the dream. Scream for ice-cream.
Wednesday, 19 December 2007 @ 15:22

I feel good!
Nahnahnahnah.
I knew that I woulddddd....
Haha XD If you don't realise which song that's from, it's the Channel Five advertisement theme song for Live The Dream.
Why I'm singing this? Well, as the song states explicitly, I feel good. Awesome even ;D

ZhongHua called and - I'MMA GOING TA ZHSS!
And National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is coming out tomorrow (: I feel on top of the world.
Seriously. -starts giggling uncontrollably-
Sorry. I just had a tub of Ben & Jerry's and I'm hyper with all the sugar. I suppose this is what it feels like to be a plant...
Cause' plants photosynthesize and create gluclose. -blinks-
But no one really cares right? And I'm just rambling.

Ironic - Alanis Morissette
@ 10:28


Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Wishes do come true. Just not the right ones.
Tuesday, 18 December 2007 @ 21:37

Oh my.
In less than 24 hours time, I'll finally know which school I'm going to O:
I can't wait.
It feels like the release of the PSLE results all over again. Except more anti-climatic.
Don'tcha think so?

-starts praying-
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.

Gosh, I'm being so melodramatic.

Hairstyles for the [not so] rich & [in]famous
@ 13:36

Y'know, sometimes I realise just how superficial the entire world is. If not entirely superficial, just pro-superficial. And no, I'm not being a hypocrite when I say that those superficial people, yeah, that includes me.

I mean, how hard should it be to decide on a short punky-emo hairstyle that won't get me a lecture by either my teachers or adults with too much time and too little toleration for young and utterly rebellious teenagers?

I've been searching the web for ages and I still can't decide on a suitable hairstyle to show the hairstylist. Yes, I am THAT concerned about my appearance. Because if I don't give a damn about myself, who will? And self-esteem figures somewhere in it too.

For a pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic
Monday, 17 December 2007 @ 15:39

I've been feeling somewhat dire lately.
And the fact that yesterday's dental surgery hurt like hell doesn't help. AT ALL.
I shan't elaborate about the wait time or the fact that I was so frickin' scared when the dentist was injecting me with anaesthesia in a big, scary, pointy syringe. All that I'll say is that when I got home after the surgery, I cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.

On to a much cheerier subject, the ZHSS Art Test went really well. I got shortlisted and during the interview, the Head of Dep. told me that I had first priority out of the other candidates if they still had vacancies. Heh (:
But I musn't get my hopes up. As the saying goes, "When anything can go wrong, it will go wrong."
I'm being rather optimistic, don't you think?
XD

drumroll, please (:
Sunday, 16 December 2007 @ 21:49

I'm the king queen of the twentieth century. I'm the bogeyman. The villain. The black sheep of the family. I can be whoever you want me to be. Why? Because all the worlds' a stage and everything else is vaudeville.

Quite predictably, I was nervous as hell. Therefore, even more predictably, I didn't manage to memorise a thing about the problem sums and their formulas.[Thank God for coincidences: Ms Ng forgot about the test.] But it didn't really matter.

I got something out of the incident.

Out of the blue, he asked me which school I was applying for and whether it was my first choice. I told him that I wanted to get into St. Nick's.

He asked me why I didn't want to try for RGS.

I gave him a crappy excuse saying that it was so far from my house, blahblahblah.

And you know what he said?

"But you deserve it."
DESERVE.
I think that was one of my favourite moments with him. Ever.

I mean, it's one thing to be accepted by a guy as a friend.
It's a completely other thing to have his support for your ambitions.

I know that this may seem really trivial and not worth mentioning at all, but I really feel like telling someone about this, even if the 'someone' is a complete stranger.
Spread the love, yo ;D



So that's the end of my Part I.
I'll post my other memories soon.

To Camwhore or not to Camwhore, that is the question.

My adorable kitten who is in need of a home. One of a pair.
Ain't she C-Y-UUU-TE? :D

Her, again. Or he. I haven't figured out yet.

Again. A bit blurry but totally cute if I do say so myself.

Both of them (:

My cousins and I at our family's Christmas Party.
I'm the one in bright green, to the right ;]

I've been seriously obsessed with Robin/Raven from Teen Titans lately. This is the product of reading too many fluffy Rob/Rae fanfictions and browsing through DeviantArt.
The picture itself is kinda sucky but since I haven't got a scanner, this'll have to do.

Heh.

I'm too lazy to upload any more.

I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Getting You Off (Me and You) - Fall Out Boy
Last year’s wishes are this year’s apologies
Every last time I come home
I take my last chance
To burn a bridge or two
I only keep myself this sick in the head
‘Cause I know how the words get to you (off)

We’re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you
2x

Collect the bad habits that you couldn’t bear to keep
Out of the woods but i love
A tree I used to lay beneath
Kiss, teeth stained red
From a sour bottle baby girl
With eyes the size of baby worlds

We’re the new face of failure
Prettier and younger, but not any better off
Bulletproof loneliness
At best, at best

Me and you
Setting in a honeymoon
If I woke up next to you
If I woke up next to you

TA-TA TO FRIVOLITY
@ 16:06

The Christmas hiiighhhhh I've been running on seems be quickly purging itself from my system. So, here's to my last day of freedom before starting tuition and studying for real.

I know I'm gonna miss it.

Which kid wouldn't? Or human, for that matter?

MERRY CHRISTMAS (:
Tuesday, 25 December 2007 @ 21:40

Sometimes I wonder what is it about Christmas that I really look forward to.

I mean, I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the fact that we get presents but I do think I enjoy Christmas Mass quite a lot. Firstly, I think it's cause' I always fascinated by how many people actually attend the Mass. And of course, my mum lets me go shopping for new clothes to wear TO the Mass. Haha XD

Moving on, this year's present haul was great. The family party wasn't too bad either. In fact, it was seriously fun, especially during the gift exchange segment where my aunts and uncles went mad and I started laughing hysterically and had to ask Nigel to help me take pictures.
I can't wait for Angs' Day Bowling Night.

I got 6 Batman graphic novels, an Aly & AJ CD, a gray and black hoodie, a Batman Begins DVD, a Billabong pencil case & a dinky plaid visor. Good eh?
I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging.
Really.

Merry Christmas, y'all!

So, I've finally gotten off my lazy ass to post something substantial. But it's basically a quick summary of what's happened during the days after my last post so this probably doesn't count as something 'substantial'.

My parents, He-who-shall-not-be-mentioned[my horrible cousin who's EVIL personified] & I caught National Treasure 2 on 20th Dec at PS and BOY! It was just frickin' awesome. No wait, 'awesome' doesn't even begin to describe it.

ZHSS' briefing and school supply/uniform buying has come and gone and I'm now looking forward to the Sec 1 Orientation camp on 3rd Jan 08. It sounds exciting. But I may just be biased since I ♥ camps ;3

Confession was on Friday. I do believe it was the longest Confession I've ever attended. And the most meaningful one for me too. "Why?" You may ask.

Well, it was the first time I ever told anyone other than my mother that at one point during this year, I didn't believe in G*d.
But that doesn't mean I still don't believe in G*d. In fact, I think I've become closer to G*d after that episode because I've experienced not believing in Him and I feel much, much better knowing that my belief in Him is totally something I TRULY believe in instead of the loving-Him-cause'-someone-said-so I did before the non-belief part.

Does that make any sense at all? I don't think so.

Anyway, my family's Christmas BBQ turned out really fun. Especially when my older cousins started acting drunk by singing Christmas carols and Disney Songs while playing Gin Rummy. LOL, man XD It was hilarious.

Live the dream. Scream for ice-cream.
Wednesday, 19 December 2007 @ 15:22

I feel good!
Nahnahnahnah.
I knew that I woulddddd....
Haha XD If you don't realise which song that's from, it's the Channel Five advertisement theme song for Live The Dream.
Why I'm singing this? Well, as the song states explicitly, I feel good. Awesome even ;D

ZhongHua called and - I'MMA GOING TA ZHSS!
And National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets is coming out tomorrow (: I feel on top of the world.
Seriously. -starts giggling uncontrollably-
Sorry. I just had a tub of Ben & Jerry's and I'm hyper with all the sugar. I suppose this is what it feels like to be a plant...
Cause' plants photosynthesize and create gluclose. -blinks-
But no one really cares right? And I'm just rambling.

Ironic - Alanis Morissette
@ 10:28


Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Wishes do come true. Just not the right ones.

Oh my.
In less than 24 hours time, I'll finally know which school I'm going to O:
I can't wait.
It feels like the release of the PSLE results all over again. Except more anti-climatic.
Don'tcha think so?

-starts praying-
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.
PLS LET THERE BE VACANCIES IN ZHONGHUA.

Gosh, I'm being so melodramatic.

Hairstyles for the [not so] rich & [in]famous
@ 13:36

Y'know, sometimes I realise just how superficial the entire world is. If not entirely superficial, just pro-superficial. And no, I'm not being a hypocrite when I say that those superficial people, yeah, that includes me.

I mean, how hard should it be to decide on a short punky-emo hairstyle that won't get me a lecture by either my teachers or adults with too much time and too little toleration for young and utterly rebellious teenagers?

I've been searching the web for ages and I still can't decide on a suitable hairstyle to show the hairstylist. Yes, I am THAT concerned about my appearance. Because if I don't give a damn about myself, who will? And self-esteem figures somewhere in it too.

For a pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic

I've been feeling somewhat dire lately.
And the fact that yesterday's dental surgery hurt like hell doesn't help. AT ALL.
I shan't elaborate about the wait time or the fact that I was so frickin' scared when the dentist was injecting me with anaesthesia in a big, scary, pointy syringe. All that I'll say is that when I got home after the surgery, I cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.

On to a much cheerier subject, the ZHSS Art Test went really well. I got shortlisted and during the interview, the Head of Dep. told me that I had first priority out of the other candidates if they still had vacancies. Heh (:
But I musn't get my hopes up. As the saying goes, "When anything can go wrong, it will go wrong."
I'm being rather optimistic, don't you think?
XD

drumroll, please (:

I'm the king queen of the twentieth century. I'm the bogeyman. The villain. The black sheep of the family. I can be whoever you want me to be. Why? Because all the worlds' a stage and everything else is vaudeville.
