Y'know when you start zoning out on the bus and the most random things come to mind? I was like that on the bus.
I was wondering if it went against feminist principles to be called 'Mrs' cause' if you break that up, it becomes 'MR's' which basically means that the woman's a possession of the man. And that is totally unfair since in marriage, the couple's supposed to be ONE, not dog and owner. Why can't married men be called 'Msr' or something? Why do only women change their name?
Then, I started wondering why men in the past (and in some cases, present) treated women like second-class citizens. Is it because they thought that women were weaker than men, of less stamina? Or is it because the Bible says G*d created Man first, then a Woman from the Man's rib, thus they decide that Men are more important than women?

I am unbelievably sick of teachers breathing down my neck that our mid-years are in five weeks' time. It's bad enough my parents aren't cutting me any slack.
Funny thing just came in from Geoffrey. Two years ago, he was asked by his aunt to list out all the names of his classmates. Apparently, his aunt liked my name and he now (okay, wrong tense, I know. Stop bugging me about it -.-) has a baby cousin called Kimberly Florida Ng. XD
Sarah: I'd love to go out with you some time, Sarawr : D
These past two days have been busy. Had both council camp and that Autodesk workshop on the same days and rushed from one place to another with Sky. The nightwalk was mostly lame but only because JX was in the same group as me and she kept on shrieking at the littlest things like Xavier brushing against the back of her legs with a broom. I kinda understand the screaming if someone else was doing it in a spookier way but for goodness' sake - IT WAS XAVIER. THE GUY WHOM CANNOT LOOK SCARY, NOT EVEN IF HE RESEMBLED VOLDEMORT.
I can't believe how unfrightening the nightwalk is when you're with a banshee. Everything gets boring once you have to start screaming "JX, STOP SHOUTING. IT'S TEN IN THE NIGHT AND WE'RE NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL ESTATE." every five minutes. My Lord.
But anyway, met quite a few new people through the camp like Adele (who sounds exactly like her E2 seniors), Chen Min, Natalie, Jing Hui, Deon (smart ass, reminds me of someone I know), Sean, Elijah (whom I thought might be my HIPS junior till he told me he was from Kuo Chuan), LW (because her chinese name is hard to remember) and I don't know who else. Oh and I cannot believe KaiWai is a probation councillor.
Is it just me or does everyone's acne get worse after attending a camp? =.= It's probably just me.
I just got some belated pictures of 2E1's Home Visit thing. Thought I might share them.
My favourite ones were the 1st and the last two. The first, because it isn't the picture quality or lighting that counts but the memories the ladies at the home gave me. And the other two speak for themselves (:
http://www.zhonghuasec.moe.edu.sg/Class%20Timetable/Class%20Timetable/2E1.pdf For anyone curious as to how I'm gonna spend Term 2. I think I hate this new timetable. Friday used to be the most slackish day of the week and now, it's just awful. At least we only have to bring 3 textbooks and a change of clothes. But my gosh - it's all double periods. Yuck >.< For Thursday, we've got Lit, D&T and CE all in one day so it seems pretty cool. But who knows? I may come to hate that day the most.
I can't wait to find out who'll be in PA this year. I suppose we'll have a lot of changes within the first two weeks but whatever. It's exciting.

I went to the orthodontist and spent an hour and a half in the waiting room, only to have the dentist take 25 seconds to 'fix' my mouthpiece. What a waste of time =.=
So like, I was supposed to catch a movie with Gel and his mum but in the end, we didn't since Gel's back was hurting too much from playing basketball on Saturday. See, this is why I don't like playing strenuous sports.
And Zachus has a gay admirer! XD MAJOR ROFL-LMAO-LOLZXZ! Seriously. I was laughing my @ss off when he told me. Another reason why kids shouldn't attend single-sex schools. There's a higher probability of you getting propositioned by someone of your own gender.
Thinking about that made me wonder whether non-straight kids went to single-sex schools because of their orientation or they turned bi/homosexual after attending the school. -munch- Food for thought.
I'm PWS-ing. In case you didn't know, that means I'm suffering from Poetry Withdrawal Symptoms. I can't find proper good poetry and I don't get why e.e cummings is such an amazing poet. Is it the imagery? o.0 I dunno.

The Sungei Buloh CIP project was ((mostly)) really fun. Other than the fact that we got dirty and muddy and sweaty and bitten by mosquitoes, it was a pretty interesting trip. We salvaged about four to five plants per group on the mud flats, did some science experiments on the water of the reserve (pH, temperature, phosphate, nitrate, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, etc; & Rachael accidentally handed up our fieldbooks without us finishing it x.x) and took several pictures for art. I have yet to do the 200-word reflection.
We got back at around 1.30-ish and I felt pretty refreshed after my mini-nap on the bus. Went back to class and Mr Tham gave us a brief powerpoint presentation on our CA1 results and handed the report books out. Apparently, I am 4th in class (congrats to Edwin, Scott, Andrea and someone whose name I have forgotten) and 35th in level. As much as I know that this is kind of a really steep drop from last year's 24th place, I was uber elated since I had totally expected my cohort position to be like, 72nd or something. So: THANK YOU, GOD : D
After I got back, HuiSi called me up and we had this amazing 50-minute chat on the phone about everything under the sun, from my throwing away of the beyond-hope socks after the Sungei Buloh plant salvaging part to HuiSi's lack of enough black shorts for her Bintan camp, leading her to cry that I had stolen her FBTs in the middle of the night, dressed ala Ninja. It felt wonderful to talk to her again and I realized just how much I missed her.
Gosh.
The rents' are gone for this weekend till tuesday and I am currently deciding whether I should change in school or at J8. I am also debating whether or not I should drag anyone along to accompany me while there but I feel bad since all I wanna really do is just head to the library and catch up with my reading. I'm still looking for Neil Gaiman's Smoke & Mirrors. The school library only has Neverwhere and Fragile Things (I suppose American Gods depicted too much graphic scenes of copulation) and I want to see if Barry Lyga's got any new books out yet. Hero-Type's excerpt sounded pretty good but I'm not sure if I'll dig it or not.
KaiSeng was really weird today. We, - HuiYing and I - were walking home and talking to him and he didn't reach his destination by the normal route most would take, which is to say, cutting through the field from the CC to get to the interchange. Instead, he followed us all the way to the Amphitheatre-Square-thinggum where HY and I usually split. I kept on asking him if he knew where he was going (he usually just takes the bus from right outside the school). Anyway, we were talking about R&J and he was asking for how he should approach the balcony scene when his group's all guys and none of the guys look like a Juliet, even if you dress them up in a bra, a wig and a pair of three-inch stilettos. Mental images of SW smiling that goofy-half blur-dumb smile with bright red lipstick kept on appearing in my head and I was laughing non-stop.
He told me that he asked Ms G. on whether they'd allow a gay adaptation of the play and she was like, "NO. Period." and then his hopes for standing out were all dashed. I told him the gay thing was actually a pretty good idea but only if your actors were in character. If they weren't, it'd be all screwed up for sure. And we talked about Romeo asking Juliet if he could take away her virginity (it was some sequence in reference to the moon) and I was flabbergasted cause' I couldn't remember reading in any of the scenes about such an issue. Come on. Romeo's not that brazen, is he? I thought Shakespeare might be a bit more romantic than that.
Right, off to finish The Devil Wears Prada and then to bed. Seeya.
Second to last day of Term 1 and Mr Low's leaving us... -sigh- Although he is completely nuts (he made us sprint four rounds around the school field, all the way to the ISH in under four minutes! Hands down the stupidest thing we've ever done for P.E =.=), he is also the most hysterical teacher we will ever have. Period. So much better than Ms M from last year.
So, we're heading to Sungei Buloh tomorrow to repot mangrove trees, conduct scientific experiments on the water and take pictures as our reference images for art. We also have to write English reflections on our trip.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
I think our Lit group can totally thank Rachael for picking the easiest scene and the one I wanted to do ever since I heard that we had this project: Act 3, Scene 1 (a.k.a The fighting scene in which Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo kills Tybalt and the Prince exiles Romeo from Verona). I've already got some ideas of the execution of the video and am now at work drawing storyboards. We're thinking of using fake guns or daggers or something but personally, I'd rather fight with penknives since they're 1)easy to procure 2)more modern and realistic & 3)allow for actual fighting instead of guns which would make it a fire fight and unbelievable in SG.
The thing is, we can't possibly shoot the video in a public place with penknives without the police coming over to arrest us or something.
See the dilemma?
Anyway, I'm probably gonna be Tybalt and I need to find a female name which sounds similar. Ideas, people!

Btw, just finished watching HEROES and it was so damn cool : D I wanna watch the next episode already!

Physics turned out pretty well. I ish happy at the grade (: Chinese was filled with careless mistakes. I can't believe I lost 5 marks just by writing the words wrongly! I could have, like, gotten an A D: English was one of those 'thank god' moments, despite the fact that I got one mark subtracted for writing the wrong question. I was totally prepared to fail.
Ms G. didn't come today and we were all so annoyed cause' everyone wanted to know their Literature score. Instead, we slacked in class, finishing our Chapter Five discussion worksheet for her.
Mr E. was funny. He came into our class at the wrong time and I practically fell on the floor laughing. After that, we spent the entire lesson talking about communism and he made these super hilarious actions that kept us in stitches. Definitely one of the more fun lessons so far (:
During the free period, I reread R&J and ended up cackling madly, so much so that JunHao was giving me this 'she's crazy' face. Audrey asked me what I was laughing at and I acted out the scene where Juliet finds the dead Romeo and Count Paris next to her and stabs herself after she gets all necrophilic on Romeo, kissing his lips and hallucinating that they're still 'warm'.
I think the weirdest part of this play is the fact that Juliet's only fourteen and we aren't told how old Romeo is. It's disturbing and feels a lot like Pedophelia for some reason.
I once read something in the Freedom Writers' Diary, about a teenage girl comparing herself to R&J. It made me think about what would have happened if Romeo & Juliet were found alive instead of dead. Would their families have made peace with each other? I think not.
What do you think?

Oh, and I want to go out with HuiSi & TanYing on thursday. I reallyreallyreally wanna go. It's been an age since I've seen the effervescent HuiSi O:
I do hope we can all meet up again during the Hols but there's no chance in hell that everyone'll be able to go out on the same day since it's SYF year this year which means... daily 12-hour practices and no life to speak of outside of school.
--
Forced myself to finish the entire R&J play even though I was practically gagging at some parts. Thank goodness I had the good sense to borrow the CliffNotes' R&J guide (: I still think the incident where Romeo & Benvolio go:
"It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?" "Not having that, which, having, makes them short." "In love?" "Out--" "Of love?" "Out of her favour, where I am in love."
I can so totally imagine Romeo being the melodramatic prat that he is, whining about how beautiful Rosaline is, yet not being able to hook up with her cause' she knows that he's only in it for the pawing.
I feel bad that I didn't study enough this time. Like, seriously.
Don't have much to talk about in real life, teachers have all decided to make us bite our nails through the weekend and we're gonna receive, what, every single subject's marked paper, cept' Literature (the only subject I have confidence in), on Monday. Dear Lord.
WATCHMEN came out yesterday and I was sulking all day at Life!'s poor review of it. It makes me doubtful.
On the plus side though, HEROES: Fugitives premiered last night and the only word which I could think of was 'orgasmic' XD Dirty, but kinda true. I liked Petey's new hair and thought HRG was a friggin' sociopath. He's like a junkie who can't get enough of taking down people. I kept on wondering, 'What made him do this? Isn't he a good guy?'
And of course, Sylar's as hot as ever but I think finding out a fraction of his past was a bit of a letdown to be honest. I guess I've been hoping too much that he'd have this super cool history but no, he HAS to have his dad walk out on him in his childhood. It's a tad cliched, actually.
Oh, and did I mention how GAY Hiro comes across? Not behaviour-wise but setting his password to his Oracle-system as 'ANDO'. Goodness.
In any case though, I can't wait till the next episode.
Dad's making me go with him and mum to Bangkok for the hols and I am - desperately - trying to wriggle my way out of going. It's bad enough that I don't have time for myself in Singapore, let alone in Thailand. All I really want to do is to switch on (because 'turning on' a PC sounds weird and disgusting) a computer, munch on some pretzel sticks and just zone out for a couple of hours, watching Project Runway reruns and movies on Youtube. I don't need to be 1423km away to relax, for heavens' sake.
Vanessa: Wowza dudette, you're making me more bigheaded than I already am XD If you really want, I'll send over the compo to you. Be warned though, the sentences I picked out and inserted into the previous post were the only ones I liked so... yeah.

Funny thing just came in from Geoffrey. Two years ago, he was asked by his aunt to list out all the names of his classmates. Apparently, his aunt liked my name and he now (okay, wrong tense, I know. Stop bugging me about it -.-) has a baby cousin called Kimberly Florida Ng. XD
Sarah: I'd love to go out with you some time, Sarawr : D
These past two days have been busy. Had both council camp and that Autodesk workshop on the same days and rushed from one place to another with Sky. The nightwalk was mostly lame but only because JX was in the same group as me and she kept on shrieking at the littlest things like Xavier brushing against the back of her legs with a broom. I kinda understand the screaming if someone else was doing it in a spookier way but for goodness' sake - IT WAS XAVIER. THE GUY WHOM CANNOT LOOK SCARY, NOT EVEN IF HE RESEMBLED VOLDEMORT.
I can't believe how unfrightening the nightwalk is when you're with a banshee. Everything gets boring once you have to start screaming "JX, STOP SHOUTING. IT'S TEN IN THE NIGHT AND WE'RE NEXT TO A RESIDENTIAL ESTATE." every five minutes. My Lord.
But anyway, met quite a few new people through the camp like Adele (who sounds exactly like her E2 seniors), Chen Min, Natalie, Jing Hui, Deon (smart ass, reminds me of someone I know), Sean, Elijah (whom I thought might be my HIPS junior till he told me he was from Kuo Chuan), LW (because her chinese name is hard to remember) and I don't know who else. Oh and I cannot believe KaiWai is a probation councillor.
Is it just me or does everyone's acne get worse after attending a camp? =.= It's probably just me.
I just got some belated pictures of 2E1's Home Visit thing. Thought I might share them.
My favourite ones were the 1st and the last two. The first, because it isn't the picture quality or lighting that counts but the memories the ladies at the home gave me. And the other two speak for themselves (:
http://www.zhonghuasec.moe.edu.sg/Class%20Timetable/Class%20Timetable/2E1.pdf For anyone curious as to how I'm gonna spend Term 2. I think I hate this new timetable. Friday used to be the most slackish day of the week and now, it's just awful. At least we only have to bring 3 textbooks and a change of clothes. But my gosh - it's all double periods. Yuck >.< For Thursday, we've got Lit, D&T and CE all in one day so it seems pretty cool. But who knows? I may come to hate that day the most.
I can't wait to find out who'll be in PA this year. I suppose we'll have a lot of changes within the first two weeks but whatever. It's exciting.
Homework List here because I need to finish it ASAP.
EL - Reflection
MM - 8.1-8.3 ; 10 Extra questions ; E-learning WS (65% done) ; Revision
Been catching up on my sleep lately. Napping like craaazzzy.

I went to the orthodontist and spent an hour and a half in the waiting room, only to have the dentist take 25 seconds to 'fix' my mouthpiece. What a waste of time =.=
So like, I was supposed to catch a movie with Gel and his mum but in the end, we didn't since Gel's back was hurting too much from playing basketball on Saturday. See, this is why I don't like playing strenuous sports.
And Zachus has a gay admirer! XD MAJOR ROFL-LMAO-LOLZXZ! Seriously. I was laughing my @ss off when he told me. Another reason why kids shouldn't attend single-sex schools. There's a higher probability of you getting propositioned by someone of your own gender.
Thinking about that made me wonder whether non-straight kids went to single-sex schools because of their orientation or they turned bi/homosexual after attending the school. -munch- Food for thought.
I'm PWS-ing. In case you didn't know, that means I'm suffering from Poetry Withdrawal Symptoms. I can't find proper good poetry and I don't get why e.e cummings is such an amazing poet. Is it the imagery? o.0 I dunno.

I wish more of my guy friends had blogs. -le sigh- It's beyond boring reading the same things over and over again.

I had an interesting dream last night. I can't remember what it was but all I know is that it was interesting. Go figure.

I like Don't Let Me Stop You by Kelly Clarkson. Myspace rocks for having a music track search. I love the tune and the chorus. Ditto for Cry, If I Can’t Have You, Long Shot, If No One Will Listen and - Oh screw it, I love the entire album. Ch'yeah.

The Sungei Buloh CIP project was ((mostly)) really fun. Other than the fact that we got dirty and muddy and sweaty and bitten by mosquitoes, it was a pretty interesting trip. We salvaged about four to five plants per group on the mud flats, did some science experiments on the water of the reserve (pH, temperature, phosphate, nitrate, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, etc; & Rachael accidentally handed up our fieldbooks without us finishing it x.x) and took several pictures for art. I have yet to do the 200-word reflection.
We got back at around 1.30-ish and I felt pretty refreshed after my mini-nap on the bus. Went back to class and Mr Tham gave us a brief powerpoint presentation on our CA1 results and handed the report books out. Apparently, I am 4th in class (congrats to Edwin, Scott, Andrea and someone whose name I have forgotten) and 35th in level. As much as I know that this is kind of a really steep drop from last year's 24th place, I was uber elated since I had totally expected my cohort position to be like, 72nd or something. So: THANK YOU, GOD : D
After I got back, HuiSi called me up and we had this amazing 50-minute chat on the phone about everything under the sun, from my throwing away of the beyond-hope socks after the Sungei Buloh plant salvaging part to HuiSi's lack of enough black shorts for her Bintan camp, leading her to cry that I had stolen her FBTs in the middle of the night, dressed ala Ninja. It felt wonderful to talk to her again and I realized just how much I missed her.
Gosh.
The rents' are gone for this weekend till tuesday and I am currently deciding whether I should change in school or at J8. I am also debating whether or not I should drag anyone along to accompany me while there but I feel bad since all I wanna really do is just head to the library and catch up with my reading. I'm still looking for Neil Gaiman's Smoke & Mirrors. The school library only has Neverwhere and Fragile Things (I suppose American Gods depicted too much graphic scenes of copulation) and I want to see if Barry Lyga's got any new books out yet. Hero-Type's excerpt sounded pretty good but I'm not sure if I'll dig it or not.
KaiSeng was really weird today. We, - HuiYing and I - were walking home and talking to him and he didn't reach his destination by the normal route most would take, which is to say, cutting through the field from the CC to get to the interchange. Instead, he followed us all the way to the Amphitheatre-Square-thinggum where HY and I usually split. I kept on asking him if he knew where he was going (he usually just takes the bus from right outside the school). Anyway, we were talking about R&J and he was asking for how he should approach the balcony scene when his group's all guys and none of the guys look like a Juliet, even if you dress them up in a bra, a wig and a pair of three-inch stilettos. Mental images of SW smiling that goofy-half blur-dumb smile with bright red lipstick kept on appearing in my head and I was laughing non-stop.
He told me that he asked Ms G. on whether they'd allow a gay adaptation of the play and she was like, "NO. Period." and then his hopes for standing out were all dashed. I told him the gay thing was actually a pretty good idea but only if your actors were in character. If they weren't, it'd be all screwed up for sure. And we talked about Romeo asking Juliet if he could take away her virginity (it was some sequence in reference to the moon) and I was flabbergasted cause' I couldn't remember reading in any of the scenes about such an issue. Come on. Romeo's not that brazen, is he? I thought Shakespeare might be a bit more romantic than that.
Right, off to finish The Devil Wears Prada and then to bed. Seeya.
Second to last day of Term 1 and Mr Low's leaving us... -sigh- Although he is completely nuts (he made us sprint four rounds around the school field, all the way to the ISH in under four minutes! Hands down the stupidest thing we've ever done for P.E =.=), he is also the most hysterical teacher we will ever have. Period. So much better than Ms M from last year.
So, we're heading to Sungei Buloh tomorrow to repot mangrove trees, conduct scientific experiments on the water and take pictures as our reference images for art. We also have to write English reflections on our trip.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
I think our Lit group can totally thank Rachael for picking the easiest scene and the one I wanted to do ever since I heard that we had this project: Act 3, Scene 1 (a.k.a The fighting scene in which Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo kills Tybalt and the Prince exiles Romeo from Verona). I've already got some ideas of the execution of the video and am now at work drawing storyboards. We're thinking of using fake guns or daggers or something but personally, I'd rather fight with penknives since they're 1)easy to procure 2)more modern and realistic & 3)allow for actual fighting instead of guns which would make it a fire fight and unbelievable in SG.
The thing is, we can't possibly shoot the video in a public place with penknives without the police coming over to arrest us or something.
See the dilemma?
Anyway, I'm probably gonna be Tybalt and I need to find a female name which sounds similar. Ideas, people!

Btw, just finished watching HEROES and it was so damn cool : D I wanna watch the next episode already!

Physics turned out pretty well. I ish happy at the grade (: Chinese was filled with careless mistakes. I can't believe I lost 5 marks just by writing the words wrongly! I could have, like, gotten an A D: English was one of those 'thank god' moments, despite the fact that I got one mark subtracted for writing the wrong question. I was totally prepared to fail.
Ms G. didn't come today and we were all so annoyed cause' everyone wanted to know their Literature score. Instead, we slacked in class, finishing our Chapter Five discussion worksheet for her.
Mr E. was funny. He came into our class at the wrong time and I practically fell on the floor laughing. After that, we spent the entire lesson talking about communism and he made these super hilarious actions that kept us in stitches. Definitely one of the more fun lessons so far (:
During the free period, I reread R&J and ended up cackling madly, so much so that JunHao was giving me this 'she's crazy' face. Audrey asked me what I was laughing at and I acted out the scene where Juliet finds the dead Romeo and Count Paris next to her and stabs herself after she gets all necrophilic on Romeo, kissing his lips and hallucinating that they're still 'warm'.
I think the weirdest part of this play is the fact that Juliet's only fourteen and we aren't told how old Romeo is. It's disturbing and feels a lot like Pedophelia for some reason.
I once read something in the Freedom Writers' Diary, about a teenage girl comparing herself to R&J. It made me think about what would have happened if Romeo & Juliet were found alive instead of dead. Would their families have made peace with each other? I think not.
What do you think?

This post is gonna be really broken up and I'll write it as it comes. Bear with me please. Today was the student's equivalent of D'Day. Nuff' said.
I don't quite want to blog but I keep feeling drawn to it.

Now understudy to some Art Club Exco member with Joshua which is kinda weird yet fantastic, all at the same time.

I want Kelly Clarkson's new album.

And... YanLing & HuiYing, being the awesomely lovely people that they are made me Batman things : D See, this is why I abso-f*cking-lutely love my friends.
Oh, and I want to go out with HuiSi & TanYing on thursday. I reallyreallyreally wanna go. It's been an age since I've seen the effervescent HuiSi O:
I do hope we can all meet up again during the Hols but there's no chance in hell that everyone'll be able to go out on the same day since it's SYF year this year which means... daily 12-hour practices and no life to speak of outside of school.

Forced myself to finish the entire R&J play even though I was practically gagging at some parts. Thank goodness I had the good sense to borrow the CliffNotes' R&J guide (: I still think the incident where Romeo & Benvolio go:
"It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?" "Not having that, which, having, makes them short." "In love?" "Out--" "Of love?" "Out of her favour, where I am in love."
I can so totally imagine Romeo being the melodramatic prat that he is, whining about how beautiful Rosaline is, yet not being able to hook up with her cause' she knows that he's only in it for the pawing.
I feel bad that I didn't study enough this time. Like, seriously.
Don't have much to talk about in real life, teachers have all decided to make us bite our nails through the weekend and we're gonna receive, what, every single subject's marked paper, cept' Literature (the only subject I have confidence in), on Monday. Dear Lord.
WATCHMEN came out yesterday and I was sulking all day at Life!'s poor review of it. It makes me doubtful.
On the plus side though, HEROES: Fugitives premiered last night and the only word which I could think of was 'orgasmic' XD Dirty, but kinda true. I liked Petey's new hair and thought HRG was a friggin' sociopath. He's like a junkie who can't get enough of taking down people. I kept on wondering, 'What made him do this? Isn't he a good guy?'
And of course, Sylar's as hot as ever but I think finding out a fraction of his past was a bit of a letdown to be honest. I guess I've been hoping too much that he'd have this super cool history but no, he HAS to have his dad walk out on him in his childhood. It's a tad cliched, actually.
Oh, and did I mention how GAY Hiro comes across? Not behaviour-wise but setting his password to his Oracle-system as 'ANDO'. Goodness.
In any case though, I can't wait till the next episode.
Dad's making me go with him and mum to Bangkok for the hols and I am - desperately - trying to wriggle my way out of going. It's bad enough that I don't have time for myself in Singapore, let alone in Thailand. All I really want to do is to switch on (because 'turning on' a PC sounds weird and disgusting) a computer, munch on some pretzel sticks and just zone out for a couple of hours, watching Project Runway reruns and movies on Youtube. I don't need to be 1423km away to relax, for heavens' sake.
Vanessa: Wowza dudette, you're making me more bigheaded than I already am XD If you really want, I'll send over the compo to you. Be warned though, the sentences I picked out and inserted into the previous post were the only ones I liked so... yeah.
