Life's been particularly hectic recently. SSP, Council, NAPFA, tuition, deadlines, all that jazz.
I haven't blogged in forever and I'm sorry to anyone who has visited my blog for a little tidbit of info of my life or whatever.
Anyway, just back from Council's AGM and we got introduced to our 7th EXCO. Made me realise that:
1) Life passes in a blink of an eye, so fast you don't even realise it. Just last year, Xavier was my quiet, cute [as in, funny and kinda shy] Sec 2 probational senior in PA and now he's with Margaret & Jetaime, all vying for President of the SC. It still makes me giggle at times cause' he's just too nice to be strict with anyone.
and
2) By the time I'm sec 3 and we have our EXCO, it'll be the 8th, my lucky number (:
So yeah.
Random, right? I know. Sorry.
I like this song. I think all poets are rappers but only some rappers are poets. Common and Tupac are two of the latter.
So. It's been - what, a week since I've last posted? Time flies like you wouldn't believe. So, good and bad news. Bad news first so I can get cheered up by the good news after that. Bad news: We got back some of our results and I'm really disappointed with my marks. First, I got only 22/25 for a DAMN easy EL compre and got beaten by EDMUND-WHO CAME IN LAST IN CLASS LAST YEAR-ONG! That being said, I shouldn't really look a gift horse in the mouth ((the phrase sounds so weird)) since lotsa people got 20-17/25.
And I got 13.5/15 for physics! Which really sucks, according to Mr T since he said that if you're not getting 14, you really need to study more. I blame my normal ray question! I actually drew it correctly the first time round' but recalled something we'd done before and changed my first attempt, thus getting the wrong answer. -sigh-
Right, on to the good news.
JianAnn and I were AICs of the ushering thingy and it went pretty well, all things considered. Ms O didn't scold us a lot (: Remind me to get yummy treats for those who were on duty! They were awesome.
My birthday's coming up soon. I should feel excited but really, I'm not. The only thing I'm really looking forward to is munching on strawberry cheesecake goodness that day and watching X-MEN: Origins ((right title?)) with my dad.
Yay.
Mood: Image says it all. Music: I Have Seen The Rain - P!nk
Been feeling kinda down lately. It's mostly all the work piling up and threatening to collapse on me like Jenga pieces but it's also the fact that I feel so invisible and ignored. I don't know.
It's probably everyone mugging like mad. Or maybe no one feels the need to show that they're alive and well enough to comment on my posts. I don't know.
Aly & AJ songs run through my head. Like, I said, I'm feeling down. Blue. Monochromatic, all shades of grey, depressed and just plain out of it. I don't know.
Am I being overdramatic? Maybe. I don't know.
I hope I feel better soon. ((Isn't it weird to say that? It's usually someone else going "Oh, I hope you feel better soon." but this time, it's me and I think it's absolutely pathetic but at least I'm honest with myself.))
Zachus made my day today. Shan't post how or why but he made me feel like a girl. Or at least a friend. And that's something.
I found God On the corner of First and Amistad Where the west Was all but won All alone Smoking his last cigarette I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything".
[Verse 2] Where were you When everything was falling apart? All my days Were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call It never came To the corner of First and Amistad
[Chorus 1] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me
[Verse 3] In the end Everyone ends up alone Losing her The only one who's ever known Who I am Who I'm not, who I wanna be No way to know How long she will be next to me
[Chorus 2] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me
[Bridge] Early morning The city breaks I've been callin' For years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages Ya never send me no letters You got some kinda nerve Taking all my world
[Chorus 3 and outro] Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' on the floor Where were you? Where were you? Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Why'd you have to wait? To find me, to find me
This has been echoing in my head these two days. I'm not gonna rattle off a long chain of what I've done for the past week that I've not been posting. I'm just too tired to list it all out. Just know that it involves lots of staying back, doing projects and attempting to complete a huge pile of too much homework.
GET BETTER SOON, YANLING. Okay, so like, my class has many sick people now. Sick, as in, "Got -sneeze- any -cough- tissue -cough- paper? -sneeze-" kinda sick. Not the "oh my g*d, he's so perverted!" kinda sick. Though granted, we do have some childish guys who are complete idiots but that comes with the territory of being fourteen and studying in a coed school. So whatever. I'm still sniffing.
As of two days ago, I have suddenly realized that I am officially screwed because -insert dramatic music here-... I HAVE GONE AND LOST MY THUMBDRIVE =.= This is like, the dumbest thing I have ever lost (and believe me, I've lost too many things to count). All my projects and presentations and files were in there and I have a bad feeling I lost it while walking home from school.
This really sucks.
Oh and I really dislike doing simultaneous equations by the elimination method. It's so confusing and if you don't use the right form, you have to redo the whole thing. I am no stranger to that. Let's just say that in this chapter alone, I have killed approximately 20 trees. That should give you some idea of how time consuming the sums are.
On a much better note, I have - by some miracle of God - been notified that I have won 3 positions last year - Top in class, Best in English Language and Best in Visual Arts :D
The top in class I'm understanding but I still don't get the other two awards. I mean, I got a B3 in the first semester for VA, for chrissakes! And a 70 or something for the two terms after that. I hardly deem that awesomeness. Unless you're telling me everyone got awful results so I'm the best of the worst? Weirdos.
Another thing to note, Chloe got Best in History :D So that means our class was pretty well-represented (:
Back to the topic: I'm kinda really terrified that this was the best I could accomplish, that I'm not getting any higher any time soon. It's like, I'm already at the summit, all that's left to go is downhill.
The thought scares me. It reminds me of something I watched on Numb3rs, when Charlie worries about how all his best work was done when he was a teenager and now, thirty-years old, nothing mathematically amazing was connecting in his brain anymore.
We ran 3.4km today, 1km during the cohort run and then 2.4km during PE right after the run. I swear, Ms Tb should've given us a discount on the distance. I wish someone had brought a calculator; then, we could argue that she could take our timings, divide it by the number of rounds and then multiply it by 4 to get our 2.4km time.
-le sigh-
That major tiredness everyone felt after the run certainly seeped into the rest of our classes after that. Everyone was so lethargic, sweaty and distracted all day that Ms R said we weren't "charging her batteries" like we usually did.
I was annoyed, by the way, at how Joel rushed to answer every question she made. I don't get why he feels the need to voice out stuff like that and come across as a know-it-all. Really, I don't.
Xinyu is getting nicer. Or maybe less reserved. I don't know but we make Matrix jokes together and it's cool to have someone who watches and reads the same stuff I do. She even likes Artemis Fowl (:
Time is passing too fast now. In a month, our Advance Papers will be here and I am still not completely mugging like mad. I can't bring myself to study on the bus, no matter how bad I guilt-trip myself, saying I am not making full use of my time. But I can't help it, it's the only time I get to rewind, end of story.
Oh G*d. I just noticed how nerdy I sounded XD
But honestly, I'm thinking of taking refuge in the library during recess when I'm off-duty. I have given up going to the canteen, despite HuiYing tempting me with blueberry cheesecake. Gosh.
Next week is Good Friday and the mass we're going to is early in the morning. I don't know how I'm to survive. On the plus side, Easter is on Sunday and we're manning a booth! So cool : D I can't wait.
In the midst of all these things happening in my life, I still miss all the hipsters. I talked to HuiSi today for an hour and thirty minutes and it felt like we were making up for the past couple of weeks we hadn't been in contact. It felt wonderful to talk to her again. Just - wonderful.

Anyway, just back from Council's AGM and we got introduced to our 7th EXCO. Made me realise that:
1) Life passes in a blink of an eye, so fast you don't even realise it. Just last year, Xavier was my quiet, cute [as in, funny and kinda shy] Sec 2 probational senior in PA and now he's with Margaret & Jetaime, all vying for President of the SC. It still makes me giggle at times cause' he's just too nice to be strict with anyone.
and
2) By the time I'm sec 3 and we have our EXCO, it'll be the 8th, my lucky number (:
So yeah.
