Woke up to the sounds of screaming in the living room today. My parents were fighting over food in the fridge.

... How lame can they get??

But then again, they headed to the market together like nothing ever happened. Weird.

Parents are funny creatures. Sometimes they give you so much warmth and happiness, and sometimes they just reverse their personalities and snarl at you like you're some cockroach. But most of the time, they're good. ;)

Bloody hell. Huang Na has been found dead in the Telok Blangah area. Poor girl!!!! !%$^!%$^!!! I hope the idiot who did it to her gets caught. Sigh. Poor girl...

Tomorrow is the start of the written examinations. It's the one subject that I feel most jittery about. HMT!!!!! Someone help me. I've been trying to memorize some proverbs, but so far only did San Zi Jing. Hee. It might not even help me tomorrow, but at least I have some pride in knowing such... things.

Sigh. Nowadays when I look at worksheets and try to revise, the words get jumbled up and I often drift away.

For example,

Divided Loyalties was one of the causes for the Catholic-Protestant conflict.

will morph into

There are 19 days left till the end of the friggin' O levels.

Shucks.

There's the O Level Chemistry Practical Exam going on tomorrow, and I am online.

On second thought, I don't think it's a big sin. I mean, when you take a break aren't you 'wasting' time too? I'm just using the Net. For awhile.

If you've been a faithful reader, I have the cow picture in my mind now.

Today's the third day of post-graduation. It's a nicer way to say that it's the third day of 'house arrest', actually. I've been staying at home mugging my head off (not really, I'm exaggerating) -- and it's making me a dull and boring person.

By the way, I think the Happy Fish theme song sounds terrible.

Back to the topic. So, I think I'm reversing my 'ground-breaking decision'.

That is, to take a breather and go down to the RJ open house after all.

Hee. Yes, I am that fickle.

BUT wait wait. I'm just going to the RJ compound, but I swear to my beautiful hamburger soft toy that I will not reverse my decision to go to NJ. I'm going there, and nothing's stopping me.

So.. just to take a breather lah. ;)

Like any other day, today was bo-oring. But I flipped through this Career Guide, and I sort of set my eyes upon this SPH scholarship for journalism. It seems like a foggy, faraway aim, but... who knows?

Anyway...

I think my sister reached some kind of an enlightenment stage.


She TIDIED HER CUPBOARD!!!

But then again, maybe not.



She screamed and begged for me to post a picture of her beloved dog -- Happy.

That means she's still herself. *shrug shoulders*

Ah~ Jiaqi is such a nice husband. Was, I mean. Poor Yaxi. (Happy Fish)

I'm getting a bit of the jitters for tomorrow. The Os start ToMoRrOw!!

Cya~

I've made a groud-breaking decision today.

I'm not going to the RJ open house anymore.

*ground shakes*

Why should I go to another open house when I'm so in love with NJ? I'm only making things difficult for myself.

And I just realised that bus 171 takes me to NJ in 20 minutes!!!!

CAN YOU FRIGGIN' BELIEVE HOW FAST THAT IS??? FOR FOUR YEARS I HAVE ENDURED CLOSE TO 40 min TRIPS TO CSS AND BACK!!!

*smiling stupidly to myself*

That said, I'm going to study my head off to secure a place in that dream jc.


ahhh....

I must get in and stay there.

I'm in love with the colours red and grey.

Why, you wonder.

'Cos NATIONAL JC's FLAG AND UNI"S THE SAME COLOUR!!!!

Call it being brainwashed, I don't really care, but hell I'm in love with the school after heading to their open house today.

When I stepped into the school, the atmosphere feels like css. The roofs are orange, like css. The people are quite familiar, they're from css. Turn left, turn right, everything feels.. homey, like css.

The principal looks like Mrs Lim Lai Cheng. ;)

Wait. Her name is Mrs Virginia Cheng.

*ahhhh*

Enter the school, you have this sort of stadium where everyone runs around playing rugby, volleyball and soccer.

Since today was the school's open day, they had tour guides who were supposed to stick with you and bring you all around the school. So the bunch of us had this guy with braces and stained pants and red hair. Dyed, of course.

All was well until we stepped out of the lecture theatre, where we listened to the principal's talk.

He was gone.

Talk about good tour guides. But it wasn't that bad. We had De Xian to lead us around!! ;) He's an IP student, a really nice guy.

Then we climbed millions of stairs until we were panting like pigs to see the squash court, the linkway where they had these cool hip-hop dance performances... etc etc. Someone in our group kept whining about not having goodie bags, so we took a big roundabout to end up in the stadium, again.

Can you believe they even have goodie bags on their Open Day?? Pretty good stuff in there too. There's this showerhead-lookalike radio and cute notebooks and notepads and brochures... the works.

We had another tour guide (De Xian had to leave), who led us to climb another half a million stairs to see the rifle room, the canteen, and later the library.

I'm not finished ---- like HOW BIG THE SCHOOL IS!!! ----- the library was pretty packed; students asked about subject combinations and subjects on the whole. I think we spent about an hour ++ there asking every subject teacher what their respective subjects were all about. Kiasu la I know.

I lurved Eng Lit booth. You wouldn't believe it, but both the teachers' eyes were so alive and happy and jovial, I was drawn to them. I want to take Lit!!!!!! Not because of the teachers today, though.

But I'm worried 'cos the last time I touched the subject was in sec two. Well, nothing is impossible.

By the time we left the library, it was 1++ pm (we arrived at 1030!) , but we haven't seen it all.

Oh my, I love that bloody school.

We wrote our names, big and clear on the CCA booths --- I entered mine in the choir and the band --- then our stomachs were growling and we grabbed lunch.

In Burger King where the four of us sat -- Angela, Joanna, Enci and myself -- I said,

"Maybe next year four of us will be sitting here in grey uniforms."

I think we almost drooled at the thought.

But who knows? Perhaps next week I'll be blogging here saying the same thing for RJ.

For now...

NATIONALNATIONALNATIONAL!!

Graduation

It's over. I'm officially A GRADUATE OF CSS!!

When I typed that, I was between this finally!!----so fast?? feeling. Ya it felt good to step out of the school, but then again... it didn't feel good.

Haiyo what am I typing ah? I also dunno la... HaIz.

Alisha's speech in the ceremony was fabulous. What she said was so true --- work hard for a month, and we can enjoy, like, forever.

Okay la maybe not that long, but you know what I mean.

So...

If there's one thing I most treasure in CSS, it's...


... these people.

You gals have no idea how much I luuurrvvee y'all!! You have stood by me, protected me (hehe) and gave me so much joy and happiness I can't thank you enough.

I'm feeling darned nostalgic now.

=(

Yesterday I went to Beach Road for dinner with my family. Halfway to the restaurant we stopped by at this over-stocked shop filled with gazillion packets of Hershey's, m&ms, and some other preservative crap.

Like some food-deprived kid, my sister went mad and chiong-ed inside. Her eyes opened to the size of golfballs.

I stepped in. And stopped.

This old uncle by the counter seemed to think that the world just ended and he was the only one left. Because he started coughing and clearing his throat and spewing out greenish-yellow phlegm again and again and again and again, as if we weren't there at all.

"Ji dian guan men?" my mum asked. (what time you close?)

"*cough* *spew* *cough* *cough* qiii dian ban. *cough* *spit*" (7.30pm)

Urgh. I can just imagine the sound of his phlegm.

Oh man.

Anyway there's this pretty good search engine i came about, clutsy.com. If u have nothing better to do go check it out and search for that thing you desire.

As for me, it's studying time.

Drats.

Oops. Looks like I can't keep my promise to stay off line.

Just 15 mins!! 15 only mah..

The TV is on, and my Dad is watching this show where all the kids jump around singing darned childish songs and dancing around like some deprived kids who have not moved around in years.
Anyway.

Received my hist. paper yesterday (part of comb. humans) and it bruised my ego a great deal. Looks like I didn't reap what I sowed. Hai. Heng I still have Geography.

Oh, well.

So now the question is... Where do I go? It's quite scary to imagine that I'll be heading off to a totally new environment next year. No more Commonwealth... ? Feels weird.

Okay so I think I'd be heading to the Arts stream in JC. The problem is, which one?

I have this feeling I'd be going to NJ.

Maybe RJ la.

Nonono. Maybe --- argh i dunno.

I guess I'd have to go to the open days to decide.

- graduation 15th oct - that fast??!!!
