comeback

2008-07-03T22:13:00.000-07:00

LOL, i havent been here like in a million years or better, an eternity. i might cancel this blog....i started a new one at livejournal. i dont like the idea of a tagbox so.....yeah.

tired

2008-07-01T05:59:00.000-07:00

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH i am so freaked out. i simply still think that it is still the holidays and i dont even seem to care about my homework and what the teacher is talking at all which is a bad thing to me!!!!!!!!! never mind, i shall pay attention tomorrow....wonder how much does it cost? haha, its a cold joke. i feel so dumb today. my mouth was open the entire time so everyone thought i was sleeping. and for training we had to go to somewhere called telok blangah community centre. which is so far away and we had to take a public bus. so practically the bus was full of rackets and shuttles and we were like aunties bargaining at the wet market. and coach looked like he was super embarassed.
well enough about it!!!! this is the wimbledon season!!!!yippy!!!! federer and nadal are still running strong, but oh, djokovic is out!!!!!! that is so sad. so is ivanovic, sharapova and hewitt!!!!! argh!!!! this really is a unique grand slam- all the seeded players are getting out. leaving all the unexpected ones. well, hopefully federer will defend his title and beat bjorn borg's record and for asia, i hope jie zheng will win!!!! she has done a pretty good job so far. come on federer and jie!!!!! go for this grand slam title!!!!

i had a bad day

2008-06-19T05:53:00.000-07:00

of all the days, trust this to be the worst. the laundry was undone, i still have 11 more newspaper articles, a chinese brochure and 4 chinese book reviews for tennager's digest and literature. all these are driving me up the wall. my aunt resigned from her work to go on a vacation and is now back and giving me hell. my mom doesn't even prepare dinner anymore, my allowance had been cut, my grandad passed away, my younger brother is driving me crazy, the older one is overseas, and i still have a hell lot of holiday homework to do, and guess what, i have run out of foolscap paper to do my newspaper article on. isn't my life sad? i wanted my younger brother to accompany me to popular to get some foolscap, and he is also in a bad mood since my mom banned him from using the computer and now i am crying and asking myself why my life is so bad. maybe it's karma. maybe i did not do enough good in my last life to have a happy one this time. maybe my brother was someone who wanted to kill me in the past, but didn't succeed and is now back in my present life to turn me mental. gosh, gosh, gosh!!!!! COME ON PEOPLE, I NEED A BREAK! SINCE WHEN HAS THE DEFINITION OF THE TERM HOLIDAYS CHANGED TO HELL? OH PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK, THAT IS ALL I WANT! FOR THE LAST TIME, I NEED A BREAK!!!!!!!! WHY IS MY FAMILY TREATING ME LIKE THIS? I FEEL LIKE JUMPING OFF THE BUILDING. THIS IS NO BETTER THAN LIVING IF I HAVE A FAMILY LIKE THAT. WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIFE THEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FAMILY WHO CARES ABOUT YOU? EVEN IF SOMEONE FROM MY FAMILY READS THIS POST, THEY WILL KNOW WHAT THEIR ATTITUDES ARE LIKE. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! IT'S ALWAYS FAOURTISM TO BOYS. BE MORE PRACTICAL MOM, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY! NOT 1965! GET REAL MAN!
okay, deep breath. i have vented my anger on this blog. that's all for today. i am in no mood to write anymore.

aviva open finals

2008-06-15T07:02:00.000-07:00

chong wei can really stretch, won't his pants snap?

changing shuttles. lol

indonesia's player delivering a smash

slide! wow! don't fall!

today was the aviva open 2008 finals. matches were totally nice. denmark and indonesia are staying strong. but however, peter gade from denmark aka the tenth seed in order of the badminton world federation ranking (BWF) lost to world number 2 lee chong wei of malaysia. sad, sad, sad, but gade still rocks! i love his style. graceful, swift and light, like he was floating on air and I AM NOT EXAGGERATING but lee is also known for his speed, defense and attack strategies on the court. even world number 1 lin dan had suffered from his speed before. lee is able to fall down while getting a shuttle, but is also fast enough to recover in time for the next shuttle. that is one of his signature moves.

meanwhile, for women's singles, tine ramussen of denmark won, beating zhou mi of hong kong.( frankly, zhou mi looks a little like an elephant, but no offence.)

mixed doubles, nova widianto and liliyana natsir won, rounding up as defending champions world number 1, defeating england's donna kellogg and anthony clark.

women's doubles winners are du jing and yu yang, from china. they beat two candy striper-looking girls from taiwan. if i am not wrong, their names are chien yu chin and cheng wen hsing, world ranking number 5.

winner for mens doubles are malaysia. i don't really think it's considered a win, since it's malaysia vs malaysia. so, i really dunno hos to announce this. heheh

day at aviva open singapore

2008-06-12T06:07:00.001-07:00

singapore women's doubles lost 6-21, 8-21 to indonesia

singapore men's doubles lost 8-21, 14-21 to indonesia

korea vs thailand, the only doulbes match that was worth watching. but korea still won both sets. the scores were close

korea trying to deliver a backhand

at the entrance of indoor stadium, where the tournament was held

went to aviva open badminton championships today. singapore won not even one match. sad. here are some pictures! enjoy!

rest in peace, grandpa

2008-06-07T00:06:00.000-07:00

yesterday night at 10 pm, we received a call from the hospital saying that my grandpa was having breathing difficulties. shortly after, he had another heart attack, resulting in two out of three of this arteries being blocked, and doctors were trying to save him, but at 11.30, they told us that they had tried their best and that we were given another half an hour to say last words and take one last look at my grandpa. he was breathing with the help of medical machines and medicine. he passed away at 12.01 am on 7th may 2008. the doctors said that the heart attack was a very brief one, it involved no struggle, so my grandpa passed away peacefully.
during the last half hour, we said our prayers and told him to go peacefully. we were not allowed to cry at the bedside. it was very devastating for me, since i grew up with my grandfather. i really have nothing to say, as i am crying when i typed out this post. currently, we are busy with his funeral matters. as he is a buddhist, it will be held in the buddhist way, so christian family members like me have no say in it.
all i have to say is that, he is the greatest grabdfather anyone could have and i am really grateful for him to be in my life. although the time we spent together was not a very long one, we had lots of happy moments together and i will remember and treasure it always.

making my comeback

2008-06-06T03:56:00.000-07:00

whoo, come to think of it, it's been a really long time since i last posted. my apologies guys! i have been really busy lately. badminton trainings are twice a week, and more and more friendly matches are coming up, and recently, my grandfather was hospitalized. he encountered a cardiaz arrest while i was in school, and had to rush to tan tock seng hospital the minute i got home and that was when i found out he was in the ICU.
sigh, when i reached there, visiting hours were already over. me and my brother begged the nurse to let us in, and then we could only stay for 20 minutes the maximum. well, obviously we agreed. yeah, i know i am not supposed to say this, but the ICU was damn cool! each patient has a personalized nurse too, to take care of them for 24 hours! and not to mention, the room was fully air conditioned, with lots of machines and computers. aaaah, and the bed looks super comfortable too! okay, i shall stop here or i will get out of control...:]
there is going to be another friendly on tuesday with some japanese women....i dunno who, but coach said they were real pros and that sec 1s are allowed to participate but we have to drop our names into a box so basically, its like a lucky draw system; whoever's name get picked will be selected to play, so yeah, its pretty cool.
kenneth's birthday was yesterday, so....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNETH!
have a great year ahead! good luck for your studies too!

super early

2008-05-17T17:18:00.000-07:00

woke up super early today. dont ask me why. i always do that...to charge my ipod before i go out. and oh, congratulations to tha yang and crystal for achieving good results for exam. really in awe of you two.
as it is super early, no one is online so it is super boring and i am typing out this post. hmmm, jerm said my post on the china quake was boring.....hmmm....but i really want to make it known. i mean, you people must've had seen the sad pictures in the news of school children of our age and younger dying and being stuck underneath the rubble and debri of the remains of their school. this is just to create awareness, you know, because not all people read the newspspers. hehe. hope this has awakened your conscience. anyway, there's also another disaster in myanmar. yeah, its about the myanmar earthquake. despite the terrible earthquake, no aid from the myanmar government had been sent. NO AID. what are the dudes in the government doing? sleeping or what? sure, aids from across the world has been sent there, only to be intercepted by the dumb government. thus, all the food, water, clothes were not sent to the people in need. hello? military government of myanmar is inhuman, they locked up aung dan su kyi, the supposed prime minister of myanmar, whom the people voted and be the ministers themselves. gosh, do they even have a heart? guess what, reported in the news, a group of 45 survivors of the quake had no food water, blankets, no nothing. thus, they sent a representative to the city, to the government for aid, guess what the government gave him? a bag of rice and a blanket. WAKE UP MAN! how is it possible that 1 blanket and 1 bag of rice is possibly enough for 45 survivors of the earthquake? i mean, the government officials and the prime ministers are at home, enjoying themselves while the people is suffering? that is inhuman. that is monstrous. you should have at least sent a group of helpers with the representative and save the remaining 45 people there. you might as well go to hell for that. i really mean it, government dudes. people from all over the world sent aid to your people, yet you blocked them. simply brainless. the govenment should wake up since the death toll is more than 10000. and 40 percent of the deaths are yound children. you know what? under a military government like this, myanmar has no future at all.

jean-baptiste maunier

2008-05-17T03:24:00.000-07:00

2nd post today! anyway, i just went to one of my classmate's blogs and saw on her frontpage her new idol. his name is jean baptiste maunier. anyway, you gotta admit, his eyes are cute, face and voice of an angel, leading the perfect life of a child actor and singer. i wouldn't exactly classify him as a tenor, as his voice does not quite compare to that of a tenor, neither could i call him a soprano, as he is a guy. but the thing is, after watching les choristes in music class, everyone seems to fall head over heels with him. i mean, its so random. after watching one movie and hearing him sing, everyone falls in love with him. no offence really, but i think that its a little too rash. and to eople who thinks my blog posts are boring, i really have nothing to say, cos this is really the way i post. so sorry!:)
it may not be like many of your posts, but i cant really help it. i've had this blog for 2 years, and almost all my entries are like that. by the way, if you really want to see a really good blog, go to timothy in my links. his blog is real good. fun designs, good entries and meaningful stuff.
okay, i gotta go. see you next time i post!

pbl frustration

2008-05-17T01:47:00.000-07:00

i was super annoyed after thursday's pbl session. we were doing a skit based on the emmy nominated show called the arena. and 2 of my group's members insists or should i say, force me to change my name to sheryl, which i totally don't want to. well, i hope you two are really reading it now, since this is the only place i can make my frustration known. oh, and then there's some story that we will get originality points deducted? WAKE UP, PEOPLE! our story is like copying that of the arena, so wont we get a lot more originality points deducted as well? use your brains, people. its not in your head for display. oh, and if you are annoyed reading this post, i am sure you would know how i feel as well. its time to have a taste of your own medicine. i am in this group, being pushed around. and oh, chinmayi said i was not paying attention in ms shervon's lscep lessons. well, were you? at least i made an effort to, unlike some people who just uses that peried of time to check out tamil songs. you know who i am refering to very well, because it is definitely not in my nature to be scolded, and be silent. and you know what, if you are really reading this post, you might think that i am mean. but why dont u think about urself? i am always the one doing the work with jo ann and the work that we did are always not appreciated by the group. so reflect on your actions instead of telling me that i am unreasonable and is bullying you. i do everything for a reason. you should know that there is a cause and effect for everything.

earthquake in china

2008-05-14T04:13:00.000-07:00

FIELD IS TURNED INTO MAKESHIFT MORGUE WITH BODIES OF STUDENTS CARRIED INTO TENT EVERY FEW MINUTES.
numb with grief, parents and family members waited anxiously as rescue workers pulled one teenage corpse after another out of the shredded remains of juyuan secondary school. all it took was a single sign- bag, shoe, schoolbag or a shirt for hearts to shatter as the lifeless body of a son or daughter is recognised. the wailing would lead other parents to crowd around the body, making sure it was not their child.
"he is such an outstanding boy!" the mother of 15 year old liu dingxian wailed, throwing herself over her son's body. inconsolable as well, his grandfather said in between sobs that he had waited without food or sleep since monday for enws of dingxian.
juyuan secondary school is where 900 students were feared buried under rubble after the school collasped during monday's powerful earthquake. the school was due to send off a new raduating class later this month. yesterday, its grounds were a makeshift mortuary.

anyway, lots of stuff have happened since the exams. oh, ms shervon is playing apologize by one republic and timbaland on her own tablet as well....right now. i still dont have an idea on how to change the size of the font and i know why i am feeling so bored right now- i cant access youtube to watch the suite life of zack and cody.....waaaaaaaaaah!!!! i should've known the TA blocked it.....grrgh. i am feeling so pissed right now.....can feel blood rushing to my face.....argh. now i dunnno what song she is playing....some kinda girl singing.....grrrr, dont like it one bit. anyway, just finished watching the japanese anime by anime master hayao miyazki-princess mononoke! ashitaka is so cute!(you probably may not know who he is but go to youtube and watch it-it rocks!)i think this is going to be the longest entry since...since....my last longest entry which is ages ago.

2008-05-12T04:31:00.000-07:00

yeah, you can straight away guess from the title how i spent sunday aka mother's day. right, shopping for assessment books-maths. argh. now i have a whole set of them to "entertain" me during the june holidays, which, is quite a lot, since i have to go back to school for extra lessons, then i have badminton CCA twice a week, and for pete's sake, extra tuition, and the assessment books! why cant they just give me a break? its holidays! i dont want to go for tuition! gawd....i feel horrible right now.....=.=this holidays is so not going my way. as i am typing out my blog, my younger brother is yakking away at the phone, so loud that i cant hear the music playing in my earpiece. and guess what, my video-watching days were not for long. my mom di not want me to watch them...said it will spoil both my eyes and the computer screen. what crap. then why did she even cancel disney channel in the first place? i mean, thats my point, she wont let me watch on the telly and on my computer? thats overboard. and i mean, its not fair. and my mother's day was terrible. i missed 1 hour of my tv show on sunday which sucked since its only being aired on weekends. grrgh. and its only at the exciting part! argh. cant say i blame her, after all, she's a woman. which woman doesnt love to shop?

new tv show

2008-05-10T18:16:00.000-07:00

yeah, MYEs are over, and i am pretty sure i flunked all of them. then, after MYEs are over, nothing to do, and i found two shows on youtube which i found pretty lame on tv interesting. see, that is how bored i can get. anyway the two shows are still pretty funny. their names are um, hannah montana and the suite life of zack and cody. okay, you might think they are lame but my friends found them really hilarious. zack and cody, i dunno about you but i heard that the suite life of zack and cody and hannah montana series are quite popular in singapore, but before that, i have never even heard of them. which is why, i missed out on so many episodes, but lucky for me, there were some kind souls on youtube who posted them for me. thanks people! oh, and the series are so damn funny!

MYE- my funeral

2008-04-29T22:37:00.000-07:00

EEEEEE! MATH MYE! my ultimate fear is finally here....and well, over. but still, i am sure i flunked it. i mean, who woulldn't if they left 4 major questions blank? it will be a total miracle if i manage to pass, seriously, like duh... oh, and the exam was freaking hard. my hand was freaking shaky, my paper was freaking crumpled. my eyes were freaking closing, my legs were freaking shaking, my mind was freaking spinning and everything was in a blur until i noticed the teacher saying: you may start. paper 1 was fine. but i am sure i would fail paper 2. i did not know how to do almost all of the equation and simplification questions! yeah, i know, i suck at math horribly. can't seem to get all the questions right for like....even if i go to tuition for a zillion number of times for 10 consecutive lives in like an eternity.....well, okay, i am exaggerating. sigh....chinese was no better, i am feeling very emotional over letter writing. i wrote down the recipient's address instead of the sender's one! aaaah! my mom is going to kill me! instead, skin me alive, i may suffer a fate worse than death....okay, yeah, figuratively. but argh! i am totally depending on science now to pull my marks up! please, let me have an easy science paper!!!! yeah, like that will happen. crescent girls' school is not for show, it also has a reputation for setting extremely difficult papers. and no, when i say difficult, i mean its like raffles and nanyang. okay, and i mean it, like, seriously. no, i am not exaggerating this time.
and tuition.....argh, i can't bear to talk about it, since i seriously have no mood to go to tuition. sure, i am falling asleep like....basically every session! but i seriously have to keep awake in science its my only hope now.

second post today!!!

2008-04-27T02:37:00.000-07:00

okay, i asure you that this is going to be a long one. want to know why? that's because it is a biography of the greatest tennis player of all times and my favourite tennis superstar and idol: roger federer.
Roger Federer (pronounced /ˈrɒdʒər ˈfɛdərər/[1]; born August 8, 1981) is a Swiss tennis professional, ranked World No. 1 since February 2, 2004, for a record 221 consecutive weeks.[2] Many tennis critics, past legends of the game, and his own peers consider him as having the potential to be the greatest player in history.[3] In 2008, he was named Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for a record fourth consecutive time.[4]
Federer has won twelve Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Open, five Wimbledon, four US Open), four Tennis Masters Cup titles, and fourteen ATP Masters Series titles. In addition to this, he holds many records in the game, including having appeared in ten consecutive Grand Slam men's singles finals (2005 Wimbledon Championships through to 2007 U.S. Open).

[edit] Personal life
Roger Federer was born in Basel, Switzerland,[5] to Swiss-German Robert Federer and South African Lynette Federer. He grew up in suburban Münchenstein, ten minutes from Basel and close to the borders with France and Germany. As a boy, Federer was very emotional and was kicked off practice courts occasionally.[citation needed] Federer was also a talented football player[citation needed]. He had considered becoming a professional football player but instead decided to pursue tennis. He continues to support FC Basel, his hometown club and is a fan of Italian club AS Roma.[6][7] When he was younger, he liked to watch Marcelo Ríos in action.[8] Federer especially liked Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Marcelo Rios and has cited them as idols.[5]
Federer currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland and is dating former WTA player and Slovakia-born Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka), who retired from tennis in 2002 after a foot injury. The two met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Federer launched a fragrance called RF Cosmetics in October 2003.[9] He considers Swiss German his first language, but also speaks German, French, and English fluently[6] and conducts press conferences in all three. His favorite vacation spots are Dubai, the Maldives and the Swiss mountains.[6] [10] He is also a good friend of golf superstar Tiger Woods. Federer is Roman Catholic, and met Pope Benedict XVI while playing the Rome Masters in 2006.[11]
Roger Federer is highly involved in various charities. He established the Roger Federer Foundation in 2003 to help disadvantaged people and to promote sports to young people. He was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF from 2006. Since then, he has visited Tamil Nadu, one of the worst tsunami-affected areas in India, and South Africa. He has also appeared in UNICEF public messages to raise public awareness of AIDS.

i finally chaned my skin

2008-04-26T19:25:00.000-07:00

i finally changed my skin, thanks to hwee min, she taught me how....okay, she did it, news update on roger federer: beat david nalbandian at the recent monte carlos tournament. yay! federer's better than ever and moving on people! i love him! did you see how he defeated nalbandian? they were playing on clay...and they could slide on the surface too! how cool is that?! i know its MYE week and i should be studying, but still....who can resist tennis? i mean, its better to watch than soccer games, thats for sure, maybe not in a guy's point of view, sigh, what can i do? i dun think a dozen people running on a field chasing a ball is very gratiying. unlike, tennis, look at the poise, the game and everything! i just love it!
mom's being on my heels lately, since its mid year exams. yeah, i've also been studying very hard( i think so), so i can get good results, but i am a major flunker in maths, so getting 80 percent and over is like....mission impossible 4, yeah, maybe i could make a movie about it and ask tom cruise to play the title character....yeah, maybe, its totally wishful thinking....on my part. now the tv series in my life is gossip girl. i've read the books, and on tv its even better, to me(although some may not think that way)...ah hem, but as the saying goes....great minds think alike......(sorry, i just humiliated myself).
i am going to go off now, to try to get a cbox....yeah, wish me luck people, for my exams and getting a cbox successfully.;D

no title....dun really care

2008-04-25T18:05:00.000-07:00

i hate this, yeah i noticed i changed font, thank you very much. it's because i have simply nothing to do. you know why i dun want to put a cbox in my blog? that is because i dun want anyone to spam on it, thats what happened last time to my first blog. which is very irritating....to me. you know what, this font is pretty nice. its very spacious and large and easy to read! gosh, i got to go, its already time for tuition! tata for now!

AAAAH MYE!!!!

2008-04-25T04:17:00.000-07:00

god, i have this tendency that i would fail my MYE for english!!! especially for the letter writing part! god! how do i describe my first impression of the school? so instead of writing about my first impression, i explained the entire thing. which is, i know, very ridiculous. yeah, since i totally forgot about my first impression of the school. oh, and i think the composition was very well done! okay, i am not blowing my trumpet! but still, i wrote about a family outing i disliked. in which there are 1 minor problems and 2 major problems. which i know is idiotic. and i can't seem to concentrate today. and i drafted the summary 4 times! cos every single time there's like an extra word or two, but in the end, i handed up with one extra letter at the back. but then i wrote 100 words at the end of the letter anyway, a slight miscalculation. aaaah! now i have to get ready for math! my biggest fear, especially in equation!!! sigh, people, wish me luck
sorry that my entries are so short, i seriously have nothing to write.

you know, i hate exams, and that has to be the understatement of the year. this is so not going my way. i dun have the mood to study, to revise and....to train, nowadays i am simply too tired. yeah, and guess what, i hate this. MYE english is tomorrow and i haven't even started revising yet. sure, i mean, i did read up a few articles, but thats it. its not what you willl call proper revision, as none of my revisions are as shabby as this one. and the thing which is unacceptable is that even thought it is near the exams i am BORED!!!! i don't know what came over me, but i really don't have any interest in anything anymore. this is so unlike me, this year, mom didnt revise and recap with me, but i depended fully in school and during tuition sessions. but, as usual, my math sucks, especially on the darned topic called equation. i can't seem to get the signs right, and they are just simply so confusing. my mom said that she will get me a new pair of badminton shoes if i get a 80 percent for every subject, which is deemed impossible since i know my DNT sucks as my entire artifact is ruined by.....sad to say....myself. i guess i am just not good at this. and another weak subject is actually science. if i revise, i can do well, but only in direct questions. questions like convection and radiation i cannot do, as they are simply too indirect. meaning they are not straight from my notes, thus additional from this, i have to copy down some frequently asked science questions and that certainly sucls, since i copied down one whole chunk of notes on the topic of heat. and yeah, i created a new account on friendster, but sigh, i seriously dunno what i can do there. now, i am posting during curriculum time, as i dun really have time to post at home, as i spend half the time reading and copying notes, oh and on msn. and sometimes on facebook and friendster. but thats it. i dun play any online games, but occasionally i watch some videos on drama and sports, especially tennis. updates on roger federer: he recently beat 137th seed(dunno his name) in monte carlos open. and oh, roger rocks on forever!

ok, peeps, i am going to repeat everything i said in class today...."I WANT MY CLASS TEE TO BE POLO WITH COLLAR! sigh....but apparently polo was.....fighting a losing battle. yeah, i was disappointed, but we settled for crewneck. and yeah, the material chosen was cotton. and we are deciding on the design as i typed out this post. yeah, and the colour up for nominations are green and black and green and black and green and....gosh, what the hell am i typing? sorry, what i mean is colours who are running are green, black, and well.....others are not out yet. i am so bored and there's a science test later on! this period is suppose to be PE. well, the only consolation will be that i dun need to go for my 2.4 km run. yeah, it was the great(sweet escape). and yeah, apparently the class commitee decided on a design, they have decided to write some kinda stuff like.....we're bonded, are you? i mean, its ridiculous. can we just like....keep the design simple? we can just ask the company to draw up a jigsaw or desks and chairs and put the names of our classmates in. isn't it more nicer and simpler? and oh, less time consuming too. yeah, and i want a poem on the front! look, i 've even thought of it:
roses are red, violets are blue
c2is bonded,
what about you?
see, its like totally proffesional, isn'it? i mean, the class wanted the bonding thing, and its even included in the poem, so pro right? i am so going to copyright it, patent is and even trademark it. the idea is so fresh and original. and yeah, jigsaw puzzle we can put to the back, and the girl we will put beside the poem, and heey presto! it's done! finito! see? all those time we wasted wasnt even worth it. i mean, this design is simple yet sophisticated at the same time. and forget about nicknames! just put your real names! god, your parents chose these names not for you to change, but to keep, people!!!! where are your sense of filial piety? (okay, maybe not that extreme.) but still......the entire tee should be black!!!!!! gosh, i am so emo now. and i want to get back to sleep! woke up so early this morning and the class commitee wanted to use first period to discuss the class tee. i mean, we should get ms lin's approval first, cos green and clack is such a weirdo combination.
ok, i have to go. more later!

trash'em!

2008-04-10T03:41:00.000-07:00

i am so gonna puke, its raining like....every single day! no fair! i want sunny weather! and i am going for my 2.4km run tomorrow, and i haven't even had a single practice, i just got back from badminton training and i am tired, tired, tired, i mean, you would be, after you played with a professional player who has a coach as a father, you would feel like you died and went to crescent heaven. that was how i felt. my finger was bleeding like mad today and did not bother to stop. i had to get ice, water and plaster for it, and oh, there is still math homework! math! math! math! please, i am not enthusiastic about it, i am protesting against it, since i hate math i totally flunked the first to tests in math, and i had to go for retest and remedial. seriously, the thing s that i am just freaking weak in dumb algebra. if not for algebra, i would not need to stay back on monday for remedial. i would have gone home and played games for all i care. seriously, you would think like me. after all, the saying: great minds think alike. i totally agree. not that i have a big head to contain a big mind, but well, you get the idea. i am so freaked out! oh, yeah, and sticky. gotta hate her. push everything to me, i have badminton practice! not sleeping practice! she has no idea what it is to be like in badminton, cos she's in girl guides'. yeah, right, guides. i am so gonna puke. she says: you have no idea how tired i get in guides, its very, very, very tough. yeah, right, tough. i am so not gonna believe it's tough ever since i saw her an the guides stringing bead necklaces in the canteen, stringing bead necklaces! we badminton girls are upstairs in the hall, slugging it out for tournaments, people! not treading bead necklaces! its time for her to use her brains! and everytime i make a remark, she wil stare at me with those evil eyes of hers, obviously i look away and start fooling around, cos unlike some people, i dun hold a grude for long, cos i am not that petty.
okay, enough about the catfight. oh, yeah, i totally flunked DNT. ergonomics i spelled as economics, yeah, and i got into so much trouble, since i forgot to bring home the textbook before the day of the test, not that i really care, since i want to bring up my science, english and chinese. well, chinese, i've been falling asleep every single lesson, so its quite hard to raise the marks for chinese. but still, the lesson is still very boring, and often i would wish it is recess, even when chinese is the period right after recess!
okie, guys, i have to go now! lotsa homework....*ugh*

music piece

2008-04-05T19:00:00.001-07:00

sigh, homework, homework, homework, what else is there?
i was so fed up with homework that i gave it up and went to play the piano. it was then i realised, after passing grade 8, i have already lost all my music pieces and scores. i then asked my mom where to find them, and she said in the attic. the attic was a creepy place. but sigh, i still went. i rummaged through the place and found lots of pieces. song from a secret garden, sona, sundial dreams, enchanted garden and my favourite, pachelbel's canon or widely known as canon in D. so, what do you think? i obviously played my favourite, duh! i haven't played it for quite a long time, with my busy schedules and stuff. i havent played it in more than 6 months, and i had so much trouble sight reading it. i finally managed to play it. i mean, it was 6 months, not 6 days, 6 hours, okay? sigh, how i enjoyed the piece. once i started playing, there was absolutely no way i could stop. i am listening to it as i typed out this blog post. yep, i am listening to the orchestral one. i am so damn mesmerixed by this song, and i have no mood to do my homework at all!

book review: nineteen minutes

2008-03-12T06:59:00.000-07:00

Plot summary
The story begins on March 6, 2007, tracking the lives of a number of characters, including Alex and Josie Cormier, Lacy and Peter Houghton, Patrick Ducharme, and several victims-to-be. Patrick, the only detective on the Sterling police force, hears on his radio of shots fired at Sterling High School. He changes route to the school and when he arrives, he searches the school to seek out the shooter. After passing dozens of dead and wounded victims, he traps the shooter in the locker room and he is taken away.
Throughout the book, the time switches back and forth between events before and after the shooting. In the past, we learn that Peter and Josie were once the best of friends, but slowly drifted apart as they progressed through school. Peter was the target of severe bullying, which he describes as his motivation for the shooting: "It had to stop."
After the shooting, Peter is sent to jail while the trial proceeds, and is only visited by his parents and Jordan McAfee, his attorney. He waives the probable cause hearing and admits that he did kill ten people (nine students and one teacher) and wound nineteen others, while Jordan’s objective is to convince the jury that Peter’s actions were justified since he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and was in a dissociative state at the time of the shooting.
Eventually, Josie is reluctantly hauled into the case to testify on Peter's behalf – despite earlier signing an affidavit saying she could not recall anything from the time of the shooting – after admitting to Jordan that she did, in fact, remember some of the details. However, upon being brought up to the witness stand, she confesses that although Peter did kill Matt Royston - Josie's abusive boyfriend at the time - she shot him in the stomach first.
Peter is sentenced to life imprisonment, and Josie is sentenced to five years at a women’s penitentiary. Exactly a month after being convicted, Peter suffocates himself in his cell using a sock.
favourite moments: i think i have to give credit to jodi picoult for writing out peter's character so well. this book is worth every single cent i paid.

List of biggest opening weekends
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
What is notable about this list is that not many films released before the mid-to-late 1990s are on it. This is mainly because movies used to have small (by today's standards) opening weekends yet would go on to become blockbusters, whereas today, filmgoers tend to want to see the film when it first comes out, and for the most part, begin to lose interest in it after about its second weekend.
Perhaps the most important issue with this list is that it does not consider inflation whatsoever. For example, on the latter list, Return of the Jedi grossed about $23M on its opening weekend at 1983 pricing. However, using the consumer price index to adjust for inflation, the film grossed about $43M (2005 dollars), which would place it roughly halfway up this list. Due to the inherent instability of a monetary rating system, it could prove more accurate to rate films according by ticket sales rather than gross figures, but it most definitely is more accurate to at least consider inflation.

2008-03-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

yeah, you will have obviously guessed that this entry is about my badminton cca in school. i dun mean i that i hate it, i actually love it, it's just that the physical or warm up, as you might call it, is extremely tiring and it lasts for an hour. yeah, so by the time i've already warmed up, i am too tired to even hit shuttles, and that really pisses me off. i joined it so that i can hit shuttles, not jumping and hopping up and down the stairs, push ups and sit ups and all those tiring activities. sure, it's fun, and kinda interesting, but seriosly, i feel like i am dead when i finish the whole thing. then i can barely move and hit the shuttles. and whats more, every single time i go home after every badminton training session, my aunt have to make my life hard for me. she said something like....stop using the tpc...you are wasting my electricity! and "my electricity bills have upped since you started staying with me" and hello, she spend like 15 minutes every night to wash and make her bloody face, and she was the one who broke my record for staying in the bath for so long! her record was like....20 min? and poor me have to stand outside waiting for such a long time. and the worse thing? she will be like....go mop the floor, sweep it, clean up the house etc. hello! what the bloody hell is she doing then? sleeping? why do i have to do all the dirty work for her? i sure would like her to tell me why. and during the times when she interrupts me during my break times at home(i hardly get any). and i feel like giving her one tight slap across her fucking face. i mean, she practices buddhism and forced me into it! i cant even have my own choice of religion! what kind of freaking rule is that? i simply dun understand. she even confiscated my ipod! how ridiculous is that? hah, feel like kicking her ass till she flies to some godforsaken place where no one can find her. and the reason she cant get married is because no one wants her and yet she is still so thick skinned and said" the reason i didnt want to get married is because i dun want my marriage to turn out like your parents'". is that an insult? ha! she doesnt show respect for anyone, not even her brother, who is my father.

the phantom of the opera

2008-03-08T22:54:00.000-08:00

ever watched the phantom of the opera? it's a really nice musical movie, i mean, with an all star cast like emmy rossum, gerard butler, patrick wilson, minnie driver and miranda richardson, it's a really must watch for all.
the movie starts out with christine(rossum) with a group of little ballet dancers preparing for the opera " la carlotta". the reigning queen of the opera house, carlotta giudicelli(driver), who was supposed to sing " think of me". however, mishaps happen and she stormed out of the opera house. monsieur andre and firmin, the new bosses of the opera house was at a loss on what to do. now that their one and only opera singer had gone, there was no way that they could host the opera, but then madame giry(richardson), the ballet teacher, told the bosses that christine has the talent of singing. the monsieurs were surprised and decided to hear her sing. after singing think of me, she was cast as la carlotta in carlotta's place. her childhood sweetheart vicomte de chagny or known to her as raoul became the chairman of the theatre, and went to watch the opera. on that night christine sang, he was amazed and old feelings came back to him. then, as the opera finished and as christine went back to her dressing room, her voice coach, the movie's protagonist, the phantom(butler) came into the room from a passageway hidden in her mirror and led her to his underground home. this is when the theme song: the phantom of the opera begins. then, as roaul went to her room and found her missing, he went to search for her. on the other hand, the phantom had sent discriminating letters to monsieur firmin and andre. both of them had the same content. they said that the theatre should overthrow carlotta and this is where carlotta came in. after a twist of events, in the opera "poor fool, he makes me laugh", carlotta was once again cast as the main soprano and christine as a silent boy servant. then, this is where the phantom hung the stagehand, buquet was hung by the phantom...and then came my favourite part...the balcony scene, where christine and raoul sang " all i ask of you". then, as they embraced, the phantom saw it and crushed the rose he gave to christine and swore to take revenge. then came the "past the point of no return" where the phantom murdered one of the characters, in order to put himself into the role. as they were about to finish the song, christine swiped off his mask and saw his true face. it was distorted with burns and scars, and most of all, with hatred. he loved christine more than anything and was jealous of raoul. this is where the famous chandelier scene takes place. the phantom took out a knife and cut off the ropes holding the chandelier, causing it to drop onto the audience. then the phantom dragged christine to his underground chamber and forced her to marry him. this is where the three of them, raoul, christine and the phantom collaborated for the song: down once more". then, the phantom sensed christine's undying love for raoul and let the two of them leave together. the movie ends when 40 years later, after christine's death, raoul went to her grave to give her a memento, the monkey which he had auctioned for at the start of the movie. over there, he saw the ring, tied to a rose....which the phsntom had used to propose to christine 40 years ago, in that underground chamber.
[edit] Casting the Film
The casting for the two leading roles was a rather lengthy process. Patrick Wilson, who later got the part of Raoul, had initially auditioned for the title role of The Phantom. The director later felt he was better to play Raoul because his voice matched the character better.[1] Several actors were considered to play the title role including John Travolta and Antonio Banderas. Originally offered the role, Travolta turned it down because he felt the film wouldn't work, while Banderas, a skilled singer, took several months off from acting to train for the part, before he was turned down. Hugh Jackman was up for the role, but he lost the role at the last minute after the director heard him singing. He felt that he looked right for the part, but something about his voice wasn't good enough.[2] Gerard Butler finally won the role after several intense screen tests. Casting for the role of Christine Daae took longer. Charlotte Church, Keira Knightley, and Katie Holmes were all in the running. Holmes had secured the part but the director refused to cast her because he felt that she was too old for the part; she reportedly impressed him with her voice.[3] Anne Hathaway was a soprano singer in New York, and she was praised for her voice; she auditioned several times and almost got the part, but just as the contract was sent to her, she was forced to decline because of the overlapping schedules with the Princess Diaries sequel, although she tried to make it work. Emmy Rossum won the part.

Leona Lewis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leona Louise Lewis (born 3 April 1985) is an English singer-songwriter and winner of the third series of the popular British television talent show The X Factor.
Her debut single, "A Moment like This", was released in December 2006, breaking a world record after it was downloaded fifty thousand times within thirty minutes.[1] Her second single "Bleeding Love" was the biggest selling single of 2007 in the United Kingdom. Her debut album, Spirit, was released in November 2007, and became the fastest selling debut album ever in both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.[2][3] It is claimed Lewis will be the first winner of a major television talent show in either the UK or U.S. to be given a major global launch with the release of their debut album.[4]
Biography

Early life
Lewis was born in the London district of Islington to parents Aural Josiah, a Guyanese Afro-Caribbean youth worker, and Marie Lewis, a social worker of Anglo-Welsh descent.[5][6] She is the middle child of three, with two brothers, Kyle, who is younger, and Bradley, who is older.[7] They grew up in Highbury and went to school at Ambler Primary School in Finsbury Park.[7] Lewis always wanted to get into music and at the age of five her parents sent her to the Sylvia Young Theatre School, despite fearing it would cripple them financially.[6] She also attended performing arts academy Italia Conti in Goswell Road, Islington[8] and then the BRIT School [9] where she was a classmate of Katie Melua.[10] She also had small parts in TV shows and commercials, including as an extra in EastEnders.[11]
Lewis wrote her first song at the age of twelve,[12] and at the age of thirteen she won the Lady D under-eighteen talent show at the Hackney Empire.[13] In 2004 she won the Yates's Wannabe Talent Contest, singing Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby".[14]
After leaving school, Lewis took a number of jobs to pay to get into a recording studio. She worked in Pizza Hut as a waitress[6] and as a receptionist for Metropolitan Mortgages in Median Road, Lower Clapton, Hackney.[8] She was also a receptionist for Head & Short Chiropodists in Stoke Newington High Street.[15]
She recorded a number of songs including a demo album of her own songs called Twilight, but the album was never released.[16] When she was fifteen years old she recorded a version of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You" with music producer Marley J. Wills, after which Lewis and Wills were invited to the US by Sony.[17] Wills went on to say that "She was young and innocent but very much able. Even then she had a very good voice. We started putting tracks together straight away [...] Leona could hit the notes and I think she did it better than the original."[18]
When her music career seemed to be going nowhere, she decided to give up, until her boyfriend persuaded her to enter The X Factor.[13]

The X Factor
See also: The X Factor (UK series 3)
In 2006, Lewis auditioned for the third series of The X Factor, singing "Over the Rainbow". She made it through to the final stages and was announced the winner on 16 December 2006, winning a £1 million recording contract.[19] She was mentored by Simon Cowell.
Lewis's voice was consistently highly praised by all three judges — Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne. On occasions she was compared with divas such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion.[6] All three judges also commented on how the British music industry needed a singer like her, and that her performances were world class.[6] Walsh remarked that her performance of "I Will Always Love You" was as good as Whitney Houston's version. On the 28 October show (Big Band week), Lewis sang "Summertime". Following her performance, Cowell said, "You are, absolutely, the best contestant I have ever had across any of these shows, and that was an amazing performance."
Lewis was criticised, by both the judges and in the press, in relation to her confidence. Vocal coach Mark Hudson also criticised her lack of star quality.[20] On the 9 December show, Cowell remarked that her rendition of Eva Cassidy's "Over the Rainbow" (originally sung by Judy Garland) was the best he had ever witnessed. Cowell also commented throughout the show that Lewis's lack of awareness as to how good she is, is what makes her special. On the final night of the show, Take That joined Lewis on stage for a duet of their song "A Million Love Songs". After the performance, singer Gary Barlow told Cowell, "This girl is probably fifty times better than any other contestant you have ever had, so you have a big responsibility to make the right record with her."[21] Before the final, on 11 December, Lewis performed at Hackney Empire for her friends, family and people from the local area.[8] She went on to win the competition, receiving 60% of the 8,000,000+ votes cast.[19] Cowell claims that he believed runner up Ray Quinn would win, until Lewis sung Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" and hit the final note, saying, "I think that final note may have just won you The X Factor".[6][22][23][24]

One million copies of the winner's single, a cover of Kelly Clarkson's first single "A Moment like This", were pre-ordered by stores,[25] although at the time, the winner of the show had not been announced and it was unknown who would be releasing the single.
"A Moment like This" was released on CD on 20 December 2006, and was available as a digital download from midnight on 17 December. It broke a world record after it was downloaded fifty thousand times in thirty minutes.[1] On 24 December, "A Moment like This" was crowned the 2006 UK Christmas number-one single,[26] having sold 571,253 copies,[27] beating Take That's single "Patience", and outselling the rest of the Top 40's sales combined.[27] It was reported that one chain was "shifting more than 100 of her CDs a minute".[28] The single became the biggest downloaded song in 2006, beating Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy". The single stayed at number one for four weeks, and also stayed at the top spot in the Irish Singles Chart for six weeks.[29] It went on to sell in the region of 1,000,000 copies.[30]
A four-track download EP, "It's All for You", that she recorded before entering The X Factor went on sale online on 18 December 2006,[31] however, the single did not chart.
In February 2007, Lewis signed a £5 million ($9.7 million) five album contract in the United States with Clive Davis's record label, J Records.[32] Lewis celebrated her record deal by showcasing for several American music executives at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California,[33] where she sang "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word", "Summertime" and "Over the Rainbow". One executive described her as "the lovechild of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey".[32]
On 16 January 2007, "A Moment like This" was shortlisted for the British Single award at the 2007 BRIT Awards. It made it to the second round but was eliminated and did not make it to the final selection. In May it was awarded the Ivor Novello Award for Best Selling British Single.[34] On 15 March 2007, Lewis performed "Over the Rainbow" in front of Charles, Prince of Wales at the UK finals of The Prince's Trust RBS Celebrate Success awards at the Barbican Centre in London, which were hosted by June Sarpong.[35] She also presented the award for "Young Achiever of the Year".
On 2 June 2007, Lewis performed at a special This Is Your Life for Simon Cowell,[36] singing "Somewhere", from West Side Story, with Il Divo.
Lewis appeared in the October 2007 issue Harper's Bazaar UK, modelling dresses from Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Emanuel Ungaro and Vivienne Westwood.[37] The photo shoot took place in Los Angeles and it was reported that severe disruption was caused when a crowd of fans blocked the streets trying to see her.[38][39][40]

2007–present: Spirit
On 25 April 2007, a press release was sent out revealing that Simon Cowell and Clive Davis would work together in a first-of-its-kind partnership on both the song and producer selection for Lewis's debut album, entitled Spirit.[4][41] On 24 September 2007, Lewis performed a special album launch party at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, where she performed four tracks from the album.[42][43][44][45] The album was released in the Republic of Ireland on 9 November 2007, where it entered the Irish Albums Chart at number one, being Ireland's fastest selling debut album of all time.[2] It was released on 12 November 2007 in the United Kingdom, where it entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, and was also the UK's fastest selling debut album, and the fourth fastest selling album of all time.[3] The album was released internationally in January 2008, and went to number one in New Zealand, Australia, Austria Germany and Switzerland.[46] Spirit will be released in the United States on 18 March 2008.[47][48]
Lewis wrote and recorded tracks for the album in London, Miami,[49] Los Angeles,[50] New York City and Atlanta, Georgia.[51] She worked with several songwriters and record producers including Dallas Austin,[51] Max Martin, Stargate,[52] Walter Afanasieff,[53] Salaam Remi, Kara DioGuardi and Novel.[54] She also recorded a track with Ne-Yo.[55][56]
Lewis's second single, "Bleeding Love", produced by Ryan Tedder and written by Tedder and Jesse McCartney, was released on 22 October 2007 in the UK.[57] Lewis performed the song on the first live show of the fourth series of The X Factor on 20 October.[58][59] The single sold 66,000 copies on its first day of release[60] and went on to sell 218,805 copies in its first week, giving it the biggest first-week sales of 2007 to date.[61][62] It entered both the UK and Irish Singles Charts at number one.[62][63][64] It stayed at the top of the UK chart for seven weeks and the Irish chart for eight.[65] It has also been number one in the singles charts of New Zealand, Australia, Bulgaria, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.[65] On 16 December 2007, "Bleeding Love" won The Record of the Year 2007 award.[66] On 21 February 2008, Lewis became the second UK reality show contestant to break the major American charts as "Bleeding Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 85.[67] The first was Joss Stone.
On 31 October 2007, Lewis appeared on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, with acoustic performances of "Bleeding Love" and a cover of Snow Patrol's 2003 single "Run".[68][69] Her version of "Run" was popular with listeners, and as a result, was added to Radio 1's A list (a list of songs receiving the most airplay).[70]
On 3 November 2007, Lewis appeared alongside Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez and other female vocalists, on an ITV singing special called Saturday Night Divas.[71] On 6 November she won 'Newcomer of the Year' at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Woman of the Year Awards[72][73] and on 7 November, she turned on the world famous Oxford Street Christmas lights.[74][75] On 16 November 2007, Lewis performed "Bleeding Love" live on Children in Need.[76]
It was reported on 31 October 2007 that management company UEG Music planned to release an album of ten songs recorded by Lewis before her time on The X Factor, shortly after the release of Spirit, called Best Kept Secret. This is because the management company claimed they wanted to recoup some of the costs incurred in their investment and training of Lewis, including £70,000 of studio costs that they claimed remained unpaid. They also claimed to have offered Sony and Lewis's father to buy the rights of the album but both refused. Cowell was reportedly angered by the release of the album, saying that the company did not have the rights to release the songs, and that he would attempt to block the album from being released. He also claimed that the songs are unfinished demos, that fans should boycott the album and that there is no agreement with Lewis to release it. A representative for Lewis said: "UEG approached Leona and her representatives earlier this year - but they do not have the rights to release these demos."[77][78][79][80][81][82] Despite Cowell's attempts, the album was briefly released two weeks after her debut album Spirit, on 26 November 2007, through online music store Juno Records, though all trace of the album was removed from Juno the same day.
In the 30 November 2007 edition of American magazine Entertainment Weekly, Lewis was included among "8 to Watch in '08" in their 2007 "Entertainer of the Year" issue. The list of entertainers expected to become household names in the coming year describes Lewis as "the next Mariah Carey".[83]
On 14 January 2008, Lewis was nominated for four BRIT Awards, in the categories British Female Solo Artist, British Breakthrough Act, British Album for Spirit, and British Single for "Bleeding Love".[84] She performed at the awards ceremony on 20 February 2008.[85] Despite being the favourite to win the most awards,[86] she received none.[87] Lewis's management team were reportedly furious, saying "Her record sales dragged the industry off its arse last year."[88] Simon Cowell was reported to have been pleased about the snub as it will make her stronger and stop her from developing an ego, although he added that it was a "mockery" that she received no awards.[89]
On 9 February 2008, Lewis performed at Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy party, as Davis's 'Special New Artist' guest.[90][91][92] It has been reported that Lewis has agreed to appear in the seventh series of American Idol in 2008 to help boost her career in the United States.[93]
Lewis's third single, a double A-side featuring "Better in Time" and "Footprints in the Sand", will be released in the United Kingdom in March 2008, in aid of Sport Relief,[94][95] and she will visit Africa for the charity.[96][97]
It has been reported that Lewis is planning a £15 million world tour in 2010.[98] A second album is planned for release in 2009.[99]

Personal life
Lewis now lives in Hackney and has been with her boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, an electrician, since she was seventeen. Lewis and Al-Chamaa have known each other since Lewis was nine years old and they grew up on the same street.[6][100] They are reported to have exchanged commitment rings and rented a £120,000 flat together in North London.[8][100] Lewis has stated that she would like to to marry Al-Chamaa.[6]
Although her big passion is singing, Lewis is also a keen dancer and actress, and can play the piano and guitar.[13] She also has a pet Rottweiler named Rome.[13]
Lewis has been a vegetarian since she was 12, saying that she became ill when she stopped eating meat because she did not know what else to eat. She says in the future she would like to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable.[101]

actually,, it's boat quay. we visited the singapore river, then the sir stamford raffles statue(theres two, one at victoria theatre, another at singapore river), and then we sorta went to the asian civilisation museum. sort of, we walked past. but we saw the time capsule, but sad, it can only be dug out in another 7 years. i was like....diao....maybe i am not in singapore liao....ok, back to business. there's also the bridge. my friends had to push me across because i was scared it would break or fall anytime. seriously, you had no idea how horrible it is. anyway, my favourite moment was actually seeing the 2 raffleses, as one was white(bleached) and the other was black(barbecued). and then fiorina did a super pose and it was so funny!

bored, bored, bored

2008-03-03T03:20:00.000-08:00

any idea how bored one can get? oh, and any idea hoe mad you can be about your idol. i sure can, especially with the hot new drama thats airing now namely my girl. lee dong wook is so cute! lee da hae is funny too! i can't wait for the dvd! oh, and been dying to watch the new movies starring ananda everingham, the leap years.....looks so romantic. and based on fanous singapore author catherine lim's novella! yay, being one of the successful authours in singapore, her novels are very interesting and engaging. and i seriously hope i will get starsports soon....soon enough for the olympics games anyway, since i cant be in beijing, china in august...sure i will be slugging in school like hell, and the teachers will be using atomic bombs to explode our brains and i hope i dont die haha, lame joke. oh, and the escape from the detaining centre is freaking me out! i am scared to walk home everyday! thinking that something bad will happen. but what are the policemen doing? sleeping? more like it. they can even let a crippled man escape! now singapore security is threatened.

geog test

2008-03-03T03:05:00.000-08:00

what the hell is wrong with the people in my school? first, the teacher sets this geography test which is so like....difficult, and i don't even think i know what is bearings! then, i read the 6 grid refrence thing wrongly! yeah, i know its my fault, because i have been sleeping during geography for like...80 percent of the time while the teacher makes his stupid and lame jokes and all of us go har har. then there's the CME test and boy it sucks. the CME teacher has pronounciation trouble and i seriously don't know why since he is so fat and his tummy is bulging from under his belt and he looks like he is out of breath after talking for like 5minutes? bad stamina, i guess, can't blame him since i saw him eating 2 plates of mee goreng from the muslim stall. i can hardly finish half a plate since its so filling. plus, there's this dumb test which tests us on the motto, vision, and mission of cgs and i was like: this is a dumb thing and don't the people herer have nothing better to do?
oh yeah, and chinese. the teacher is so slutty and keeps flirting around the teacher from the next class. she has no shame and doesn't seem to care about the fact that she's in a school, not a bar or some public place. that, i can't say anything but at the end of every sentence, she goes horh,horh, horh. her lesson is also making me fall asleep by the minute. can't understand the fat load of crap she's teaching....what can i say? even when she's dreaming, she's thinking about the teacher from the next class. the worse of all: sticky
who does she think she is? calling me and my friends to F off? and even telling her mum to scold me! well, if she wants attitude, i'll give her attitude, for somoene so rashy like her, it's only right that i give her the right trashy attitude. she doesn't even give a damn that we are her team members and even scolded us dumbasses! like hell, so what if she's good in english? her mum also has the same attitude problem as her, can't blame sticy though, as the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, same trashy attitude. both are show offs, and both also treat us like we owe them something in ourpast lives, and i keep wondering what that is. did i kick her ass? did i knock their dumb heads on the wall?i seriously can't remember

yahoo i can go mad

2007-11-01T23:19:00.000-07:00

did anyone know how tiring tennis could be? i picked up the racket and was already exhausted, not to mention playing and swinging with it which after 5 games, i feel like i could die. i was like, at the end of the game, where's my coffin? i thought it was gonna be easy, but i am so wrong. i watched world no.1 roger federer played with such strength and ability and no wonder he can hold the world no. 1 title for 194 weeks so far and is still holding it. the amazing thing is he can play non stop for 2 hours while i felt like dying after a half hour. see the difference? but that doesn't mean i am going to give up. nossir, i am gonna play till i get the hand and skill of it. but for now, i'll stick to my ol' badminton since the singapore badminton hall is gonna close at the end of this year so i am squeezing it into my tight schedule
