Fish
Thursday, August 25, 2005
Ok, so i havent been online for so long but i still have so little to say. Well, firstly i think black licorice sticks taste like shit.
Just had english prelim yesterday. I didnt have enough time for the compo so my ending was like shit. and i think i misinterpreted the letter. Just now had social studies and i screwed up section B then for the 1st question in section A i forgot to state something. darn.
Ok, today shan hui brought up that he thought i looked like lluvy from antm. even though iven and sy said contrary, they still made jokes... especially iven. haiz. I so do not look like her. Then because of that pic where lluvy posed for pices, he kept sayin stuff like...theres something fishy around here. And i managed to spot a pic of sy's aunt on her wedding day that looks like iven...esp the mouth.
Anyway, last week was the last lesson of the filmmaking course so each group had to do a 5 min fim. Ours was abt this guy who teases this mental guy then is abducted by him. Ok, so it kinda sucks but there were a lot of restraints. So we filmed sy psycoticly scribbling a mag then tearing it up. It was real funny. Then went to mosquito land to film, but on the way there it rained. It was nice cause the three of us could gossip contentedly. I mean after we split classes we havent been that close. It was like goin back in time. Well anyway after filming lots of shots of me walking(tim the cameraman and sy the psycho) i was 'hit in the head with a thick branch'. Then in the tunnel there is a shot where sy walks slowly, dragging the branch along the ground, a bloodstain visible on it...tomato ketchup. Then a shot where i'm tied up and i have to use my swiss army knife to cut myself free...in the process accidentally slitting my thumb. Then the shot i regret where i make this scared face as i look at my surroundings. and one where i feel behind my head then there is 'blood' on my fingers. And crap, the stuff in the ketchup make the cut hurt so bad. Then we recorded the bats' squeaking. And another shot i regret where i plead with the psycho to let me go. We also had a shot of the ketchup bottle smashing against the wall, but since it was dark, it had a very sinister look.
Well, teacher's day next year so i guess i will be making a few teachers day cards...definitely not daphne. hahah. Probably cikgu, chem yeo, elaine and chua. Ok, wanna go eat.

Ok. Ive found out its nearly impossible for me to stop singin everywhere i go so i shall take back the words i said before. Unless someone paid me to stop singin. hahah.
Yesterday was the english oral. About 3 quarter of the class was takin on that day and divided into 3 groups...along with some sec 5s. I, unfortunately was the first of the group i was in so yeah...i was really nervous when i realised that if i screwed it up this time...i'm screwed. O'level. Haiz....might as well be Ominous levels. Well, was nervous when had to read the thingies for 10 mins 1st and i didnt waste a single second (Kenneth had time to chat with Ms Lee and wht not...)
But i wasnt so nervous in front of the 2 invigilators. One was this rather young, slightly cold-looking chinese lady and the other was a kinder looking, middle aged indian lady. Said good afternoon and after they checked my ic, i started reading. I was a little rushed at the 1st sentenced but slowed after that. Skipped one or two words but otherwise fairly good. Then Ms K asked to turn over. I opened my mouth to start describing but she straight away start askin questions...which i answered quite promptly. After like 2 mins, the two didnt know wat to ask me anymore so Ms K asked if i had anything else to add. Few sentences later, conversation.
Ms C asked the 1st question: What course in college do you wish to pursue. So i said that i didnt want to go jc...going poly to take visual communications cause i like art and crapped stuff like I love art because it is a way i can espress my feelings and share my views through design and colour and wateva la. At first i kept lookin at Ms C cause she asked...then i remembered and turned to Ms K as well. 2nd Q: how important do you think it is for students to be interested in their studies. I carapped a lot on this one. 3rd Q; how important do you think it is for someones character to fit a job...or somethin lyk that. So i said yeah... and explained...dissing math nerds in the process, sayin they have poor social skills and whatever. 4th Q : Do you know of anyone with weird jobs? I said not really but tried elaborating anyway. 5th Q: What factors make someone choose a certain job? I said...for me mainly is intent, must like your occupation but here is a very cut-throat environment so income is also important. Do what you want then eat grass only? They sorta laughed at that.
Yeah... so i did ok i guess, but very short...yiqiang was real long...along with jacob.
Ouh...today had malay o'level results. Got lower than expected...a c5 but did better than expected for malay oral...a merit. Retake la. But my aunt is sayin i didnt study enough...nothin really much to study lor. Anyways...gotta start studiyin from monday...hope i can keep to that.

Hair Castration...
Monday, August 08, 2005
Reality hit me like an 18 wheeler. Shit happened.
OK... so i get up this mornin, excited and all cause i was gonna sing in school. So woke up extra early to do my hair... not that good a job but nvm. Got to school and Tim did my hair for me. Walau... his flat iron damn power sia... my hair was so damn straight. Ok... so went upstairs... wait outside DA classroom... hopin she wouldnt notice my hair. But Erwyn told me to go LT. AH saved.
Ok so waited inside... feelin pretty anxious. I knew i won't be able to win this year la... I'd settle for 3rd place. Then I, SY and Jarrod went to toilet to change la. So i already put on my jeans and t-shirt, and HE came in. The Mofo who spoiled my day. This Mr tan(i think) came in with a scissors and some other student. THe only words that ran through my mind then was 'Holy Crap'. Then he asked me why hair was so long. Because not short la, stupid. Duh, i didnt really say that. Then he asked SY and Jarrod to go and asked me why i kept it so long. I felt like askin him...Why the stupid questions? So he proceeded to cut that other guy's hair because that guy was a bimbo as well.
After that he let that guy go, then proceeded to destroy me. Still asked me why i kept it long. Because i like it. I aksed if i could keep it just for the perfrmance...but no... the Scum Sucker wouldnt listen. There was no fuckin way he was gonna ruin my hair. So i took it cuttin cm by cm. Little bit at a time... each time askin if that was ok. But in the end, only half was left. Then he wanted to 'thin' my ends. "Dont give me split ends" i said, ruffled my hair and left. Fugly whore. Sat back down in the LT and cried. And cried. Almost 8 motnths it took to grow that. Its like ripping an infant from a mom's womb a month premature. Ok too much but its still bad. I had that as a part of me...as a way to be different. Its like i frikin lost my individuality. So SY and Jarrod sorta patted my shoulders and kinda thing. Then we were asked to wait outside and i still didnt stop. I didnt care if anyone saw me crying...for once. I went to the railing and sobbed sumore. The other two sayin things like... its just hair and it'll grow back but when you've kept something for so long, it hurts to lose it. Heard voiced behind me... askin me stuff. I was surprised Ryan was there and tried to comfort me as well. After a while Went toilet to look at whats left of the hair. My eyes were real red.
I calmed down after a while and after Jarrod, it was my turn. Erwyn and the other MC came in bath stuff. Erwyn was so thick skin...only wear a towel over shorts and shower cap. Yes...he was just bein his idiotic self i guess... and because i wrote in the form that i sang in the shower. Ok, so the crowd was real loud when i walked onstage. Aiyah...reputation from before. Yeah... so i sat on the stool and started. I knew right after i was done with the 1st chorus that i wasnt gonna win anythin. It somehow sounded funny. And i always had to strain for the high part but somehow it didnt come to that. i was screwed. Erwyn and the other MC wore a diff outfit to introduce every performer. Most quite silly la.
So yeah... on top of the blow of my hair being chopped off, i didnt even get third, but i seriously wasnt surprised. Then top 3 performed again, SY got second, but with regards to his encore, he should have gotten 1st. He was so supremely not nervous... danced ridiculously, flirted with Chua, DA, Gan and Goh. And he did the high note perfectly. So later walked to Mac... SY asked if i wanted to come along to watch C&tCF with SH and some ST guys. Went into macs, bought nuggets and sat down. Then he called me and said that the rest didnt wan me to come. So after eatin only 3 nuggets, i left.
I never knew so much of one's self-esteem could be lost in 2 hours. I guess i hit the gound pretty hard. Cant stay down too long... got eng oral on thursday. But i know nobody will ever hear me sing in school for the rest of the year...even if its in toilets or corridors.

Shit Happens
Monday, August 01, 2005
Well, las friday was my b'day even though there wasnt much fun. Some guys decided to dao me till after school but because it was also John's birthday so they kinda wish todether la. John got me a Nalgene water bottle and i got him some $6 pencilbox. Mrs low gave me n John a melted lollipop and Karim got me a praying mantis. Whopee! Named her Matilda. Fed her like 8 crickets since friday so her abdomen is kinda bloated now...see how long she lasts. Abt 8 guys didnt know what to get me so they shared and gave me $47 in a stapled packet of foolscap paper with all their signatures(including ms seah, although she didnt give anythin). They also gave their birth dates so i could return the favour. Tsk.
So after school, rushed off to bugis with sy for the film makin course. On the way there, he gave me a small box wrapped in newspaper and put in a sock. I didnt open it yet...build up anticipation. We got to the class at like 2.50 but nobody else was there. So we waited till like 3.10(class supposed to start at 3) So while waitin i open the present. It was this really cool, silver, sleek swiss army knife. It was real good. Looks like i hafta give him somethin real good for his b'day as well.
So the guy was kinda pissed and started teachin...with only the two of us there...settin up lighting and stuff. then when the rest came at like 3.30 he rush through again. Then we play with the lights, me being very narcissistic. Then when it was the other gruop's turn, we go to the upstairs room and fool around like crazy. Takin model shots, sy and tim dancin the ndp song. Luckily i come up with the idea for our 5 min film oredi...this guy is haunted by a drownin incident a year ago and has to face his fear when his friend is in danger. yeah.. the only problem is filming me drowning...since my aunt duzen let me swim at private pools.
So anyway.. after the class we supposed to go for dinner... my treat... but since maja cooked my favs go home la.
Then that night, kak farahnaz bought this cake from marriot and a bottle of that fake kinda wine. The grape sparklin juice. Nice la. Then nex day got tuition, and later went out with my mom.., for the buffet. Somehow i couldnt eat more than 3 oysters...although i ate a lot of other stuff though... baby lobster, tempura and cold pasta. Damn full la... then went over to the com there, put in one dollar for 15 mins. Wah, the got this damn chio ang moh girl with very short shorts sitting at one of the 3 pc's. then when she go and change her money, i and my sis saw that she was on msn with some guy on webcam. Her bf no doubt. Anyways, bought two plain long sleeve t-shirts to go with my sleeveless denim thing the next day.
Ok, so this morning got up with a perfectly normal mild stomach cramp. Went school, then durin mornin assembly had to go shit. So i walk real fast to the nearest toilet. No toilet paper. Go to another one, past sniggering people. still no toilet paper. Went to the floor above... still dun haf. So i use the end stall where got the hose. Had to do it old school. Durin elaine's period got headache and felt like puking. Then when KYM's class was ending, i shat in my underwear. I ran out like some lunatic to the toilet. Thank god i wasnt usin boxers. So i called my dad from the toilet and ask him to send new clothes la. But when he come, i decided to go home just in case it happened again. Retrieve my bag from the hall then ciao. At home take medicine then go sleep. Wake up, shit twice more and still got nausea and headache. So go sleep then go doctor after wake up. Got gastric flu...so got mc for tomoro as well. Ouh, and i just puked green stuff like 5 mins ago...even though i didnt eat anythin green. Just hope i get better before the rehearsals on friday.
