the day santa got lost
Comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
laughter to kiss your lips,
sunsets to warm your heart,
hugs when spirits sag,
beauty for your eyes to see,
friendships to brighten your being,
faith so that you can believe,
confidence for when you doubt,
courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
Merry Christmas to all!

BRAVE UP
Learn to accept reality
Keep the pace going
For the sake of all beings
Throughout all your seventeen
it may be the hardest thing
it's like balancing on a plank;you have no choice because you are up there already(reluctantly)
Keep your heart beating
for we will keep you steady
we may not know your pain,your struggle, but we hope you know we are here to keep you going
you fight against a sea of troubles
Rolling in pain, bitterness, agony, and hate
It's pouring out there and we cannot stop the rain for you
but i hope you are not oblivious that the umbrella,raincoats, shelters are up for lending
and not to mention the 5pairs of ears and shoulders
别让一些伤人的欺骗让你忘记“信任”有多么可贵
you were a bubbly girl , don't let anything take away your smile and your laughter
it wasn't your fault, be strong.
because we loved you, and we will always be.

GREEN
RED
BLUE
BROWN
I am DESPERATELY in need of something colorful !
okay , couldn't care less.perhaps i should focus more on my present happiness instead of fussing over past/future trivial matters(convincing myself that THEY ARE TRIVIAL MATTERS)
PLANS for the week
Monday:
clean the ever-dirty kitchen
collect baking utensils from Tanya
Tuesday:
Meet Glynis and her BinBin mummy for a visit to the salon

acc mum to some recreational activities
Thursday:
Catch a movie with Tanya
Friday:
If no one asks me out, I'll have a date with my toilet bowl
I'm not here to dampen your mood or i should say , you are not here for your mood to be dampened .
But i think i have to inform/illustrate/elaborate/report/propose/i'm getting rather irrelevant the dream that i had yesterday
it was a fine afternoon and the scorching sun was scalding the cement ground.
i don't know where i was , really .
but somehow a piece of paper gets onto my hand and i realised that ..
"oh , I'm receiving the 'O' level results today!"
and what's stated on it was ...
"L1R4: 7
L1R5:17 "
Then , rain poured.
tears poured.
OOOKKKKKAYYYY ... L1R5 17 pts is really ... i can understand why i cried in the dream
if it happens in reality , i think i'll cry too :(
but , the funny thing is .. how can L1R4 be 7 pts and L1R5 17pts ?!?!?
I must have recieved some "IF10 (Immediate Failure)"
@.@ ?????

彷徨,无目标,不知该何去何从的感觉?
有一点点的不可思议。
当我把书本打包好,把作业笔记都扔掉时
我是否也扔掉了我一年来的心血?
很可笑吧?
但我舍不得的不是那些书本作业笔记,而是那些与同学一起上课的情景
那些搞笑的画面,还有那些明明很辛苦却坚持努力不懈的精神
是的, 我们完成了
不管成绩如何
不可否认的是 我们都赢了
我们赢在自我鼓励, 互相鼓励 , 相信着一切一切将得到回报
所以我们奔跑,后来跌倒,我们爬起来,
然后又跌倒,又再爬起来
跌跌撞撞 很辛苦 我们都知道
冲过终点线 我无愧于心
虽然我很不习惯这样的改变
以后的路 每个人都不同
四年的中学生涯 青葱岁月
一去不回 你会留恋吗?
同学们, 我们终于毕业了。

Within these words lie lots of things I never get to say.
It means I love you first of all, Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me, And that I'm proud of you.
But most of all, I guess it means That I am thinking of Your happiness on this,

With pleasure and with love.

makan sutra
Wen(my eldest brother) finally set himself on "training".
While my mum is away from Singapore
(she's coming back today .. aww :( i need to return her her bed ),
Wen decided " let's go sheng shiong and i'll cook lunch tmr(saturday)"
i was laughing mad inside and Long(another brother) was looking really dubious about it.
-
i was employed by Wen to TEACH him how to go about cooking..
Though i always had a flair for kitchen stuffs , i seriously had no idea about teaching,
especially .. teaching a virgin , a cooking virgin i mean ..
well , i had never ever in my 16years of life seen Wen cooked anything else except maggie noodles
In order to make me not feel too bad,
i told myself , " ... at least he knows how to use the gas stove "
For a start , at 11am we went to the supermarket and bought some fresh ingredients
And that's one of the main reason why i made this post
when it comes to identifying food,
Those 2 guys become idiots. REAL IDIOTS
Ever since Long mistook vegetables for beans,
sweet potatoes for potatoes
and Wen who bought one cabbage home and requested a salad from me ..
This trip to the supermarket again proves how ridiculous/hilarious they can be.
while we were busy searching for potatoes for the soup,
Wen took me to the fruit section and points to a mountain of a brown-looking fruit and flarantly told me " there!"
*faints*
i don't supposed potatoes appearing at the fruits section ?
and I know both are brown in colour but i swear i won't drink if you add chiku into my soup
We returned home to cook lunch and i wasn't allowed to do any of the cooking since the aim of it was to let Wen learn..
and i finally understand how was it like when my mum taught me how to cook for the very first time...
mum i love you *wipe sweat*
-
Everything was higgledy-piggledy and i had to teach him how to manage the uncooked ingredients,how to dice capsium,how to shred carrots... even how to hold a knife correctly .
up till here , i guessed you can guess how is it like when he STARTED.
However i understand that you shouldn't expect much from a beginner , but ..
i do have the right to complain as my supposed-ly lunch became dinner
because he was really-really-really-extremely-YOU-CANNOT-IMAGINE de .. slow
After like ..8 millon years he finally starts cooking ... ?
ABC lotus soup
and while Wen was struggling with knives and frying pans...
and me too struggling with the fellow meddling with the food...
look at what that another fellow was struggling with..

Ranting about what awaits us
I think about who and what I'm going to be when i grow up(not literally)
I think about who and what my friends are going to be when they grow up
I think about how is it like having to live in a country of 10% income tax/GST/and whatever crap they will invent to drain money out of my pocket
I think about what i have in life , and what i want out of life
perhaps that's a very sad truth : that we may set on different different paths after this year
yes we will meet up often(i hope) and lotsa get-tgt
but it still sounds pretty sad right ?
ADELYN.DOESNT.WANNA.GROW.UP
yes. I don't wanna grow up.
a life of a typical Singapore is as summarised:
- 0-2years old , who the hell rmbed that part of life?
- 3-6years old , yes parents are trying to groom you into a mathematics/scientific/artistics/music/gymnastic/sports genius when you are actually neither of them
- 7-2?years old study like there's no tomorrow and get a piece of paper that proves your capability
- 2?-6? work for a living , live for your work ... and if you live long enough , you might be lucky to get your CPF back
- 6?-?? prepare your own coffin, rmb Singapore do not have enough land to bury you so do cremate yourself to save space
no wonder Jy wants to imigrate
I was brought back to the reality after so many years of wonderland

we are shoppers, we are consumers, we are BJB !
it represents many things to different individuals i guess?
independence dependence greed freedom love power and sometimes , a blessing in disguise.
Because of all the emotions that surrounds money, people often find it hard to deal with it objectively and productively.
and this is absolutely true for BJB
OH WELL i must speak up for my fellow let's-spend-it-all BJB members
we may spent till there isn't a single penny in our wallets(JY KNOWS BEST) inexchange for bags,clothes,newhandphones .. or most probably a higher-class dinner
but i dare you to call us vain
'cos i tell you we are rich
up there and in there(and i'm not refering to wallets)
继续拜金吧!!!
and do thank us for boosting Singapore economy
we are very glad to do so anyway :D

Why do fingers wrinkle in water
we were resting and chatting when i realised this : Jessie22 kept "protruding" her palms in the air (you can imagine that action)
Then , she asked a question which puzzled everyone(or is it only me?)
AND NOW ... THE TRUTH IS REVEALED !!!
The outer layer of the skin(epidermis), is made up of a protein called keratin.
These cells divide rapidly at the bottom of epidermis, pushing the higher cells upward.
Stratum corneum is just the upper layer of the epidermis.
so when you go swimming, the keratin absorbs the water and swells.
(so i think it means the partially permeable membrane is indeed present)
The inside of the fingers, however, does not swell. As a result, there is relatively too much stratum corneum and it wrinkles, just like a 百褶裙 . (good description?)
and regarding to Jessie22 's question : why doesn't the other parts of the body skin wrinkle ?
This bunching up/wrinkling occurs on fingers/toes simply because the epidermis is much thicker on the hands and feet than elsewhere on the body. (The hair and nails, which contain different types of keratin, also absorb some water. This is why the nails get softer after bathing or doing the dishes.)
and yes it's directly opposite of what JY had suggested , that is "because the skin on our hands are thinner"
it is in fact , thicker .
lesson learnt:
Soaking in water does hydrate the skin, but only temporary.
water quickly evaporates, leaving the skin dryer than before(oh my god)
But if oil is added before the skin dries, much of the absorbed water is retained.
Thus, applying a bath oil or heavy lotion directly after a bath or swimming is a good method of hydrating the skin.

P.S. Next time we go swimming , remind me to bring moisturiser :)

i lost trust in 4e2
especially that you-know-who-you-are
i dunwana emphasize about why it is you
you should tell me and prove it to me why it is not you !
or perhaps you should consider surrendering yourself and all your shameful gains
I'm sorry if I've magligned you,
but you just showed so so so much to me that it's you
can't blame me
there's this Chinese saying : The God is watching while you are at it
Live ; and let live
if i'm right on,
you are such a disappointment

the news made me cry (too) :(
Especially the children over there ... *shakes head*
I bought the newspaper yesterday and after reading it and seeing all the tragic photos , i was unable to quell the sense of discomfort and the pang of sadness that suddenly overwhelmed me
WHAT HAPPENED ?!?
ONCE AGAIN ,it just implies to me how vulnerable we , mankind, are to natural disasters.
there's no prevention that could be done AT ALL ..
you probably can reduce the number of casualties by acting beforehand
but you can't stop it from happening after all
perhaps this is just another way the Earth is expressing her unhappiness for our constant exploitation and abusing.
The signs were so much so ..... absolute .
SO CONCLUSION :
LET'S DONATE WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD TO (no link leh)
World , Save the kids :)

Photos uploaded !
i did xD
yes you did .
Joker performing her stunt of the day [ pls don't act cute infront of the camera .. you make me wanna ... uhhuh uhhuh .. you know la hor ;) ]

oh well .. i have no idea why I'm losing grip of my determination for studies right after exams *sigh*
and i can't seem to recall what I've prepared myself for before the exam
by right , i should be happy with my 4 A1s
although it may seem pretty easy to achieve for those with SUPERBrain
but never once in my life i got 4 A1s , really .
but by left , I'm not satisfied with my results at all :((
not only because of the 51/100 with leaves my result slip with an ugly C6
also because of the darn chemistry which i ended up with a B4 .
NO EFFORT = NO A1
no wonder I nearly failed my combined humanities
*GUILTY*
-
But truthfully enough , this MYE tells me where exactly I'm weak in..
Basically , it's EVERYTHING that requires lots of writing .
so everyone , get yourself some expensive brain supplements and cod liver oil like i do and
START PREPARING FOR YOUR PRELIMS !
(but can we slack for a week more.. won't hurt right ?)
xD
Look at my favourite Singers on stage tgt !

Chinese Ppr 1 - DOWN
Chemistry Ppr 1 - KNOCKED OUT
-
Sadness,doesnt seem an appropriate word
whilst Disapppointment, is not strong enough to express how i feel
after all the midnight oil and all sorts of rubbish
i completely failed myself
yeah right you might say
it's only MYE what
it's not included in Prelims
i have no idea where to begin with
it's just like being smack right in the face
and you are forbided to make a noise about it
or even give a mournful look
why does studying such an arduous task in Singapore
Everything sucks
it's not me who choose to emo over these vindictively indisputable truth
now it seems like it's human who shapes education
and not the other way round
and back to the Chemistry Ppr and all the bloody freak mistakes i've made
can you believe it
i can't
despite that
i manage to sort out my thinking and what actually went wrong
我气
我气我自己犯那种不该犯的错误
人 犯错在所难免
屁
若我不懂 就算了
答案摆在眼前我却瞎了眼
我好胜心强
但我要胜的是我自己
竞争就是竞争
良性恶性都一样
至少我不会在人背后捅人一刀
你们不理解
总认为我比这比那
要求 是从我所付出的来期盼 来衡量
就算是我是当中考的不错的
但分数达不到我的要求 我就永远不能满足
你们不理解
你有你期盼的将来
我有我想雕朔的未来
每个人要的东西都不一样
有的人 相信知足常乐
而我 相信压力带来进步
达不到要求 就是退步
就算不是chemistry Ppr
就算只是一份普通的assignment
我也无法接受因为大意而犯错
你懂那种感觉吗
你熟息吗
那种付出一切
然后失败的原因不在于你读的
在于你
i don't wanna work under peer pressure anymore
you claimed that i'm stressing you
but actually
you all just don't understand
nobody understands
i'll do what i think it's right
成功 , 我应得
失败 , 我承担

I've seen the physical leader(PL) 破天荒 blew on his top , and also the first time I've seen Ms.Xw , the strong, never-say-die , and (to me) vertically challenged(this got no link at all , just another piece of information about her) , shed her precious tears in class .
-
This was what happened ,
There was a clamour of voices in the room as there was no teacher . Me , too , was happily chattering away with Glynis and JY when a sudden thunderous voice nearly threw me off balance . I began insearching for the source and i realised it came from a corner of the room . I shifted my sight and set it on the PL . For that moment i thought that he really looked like 包公 except that he doesn't have a moon-shaped mark on his forehead .

Mr PL and Ms Xw started wrangling in flame with one another though i can't really figure out they were squabbling about . but Seriously speaking , i was stunned , flabbergasted and speechless lor ! Walao siao siao Physical Leader fuming in rage is such such such a rare scene can ?!?! I test before Ms.Xw 's 吵架的功力 , 连我都甘愿做他的手下败将好不好 ?
一个是吵架界里的佼佼者 , 一个是不鸣则以, 一鸣惊人 的Physical leader ...
very eager to know who won right ?!? *Laugh out loud*
-
Actually i also dunno who won ... but i managed to get some idea about what the hell had happened .
Apparently , the upshot of a heated row was sparked off by Ms.Xw throwing waterbottle at the PL during a conversation,and i really believe that she meant no harm and just “出于玩笑 ” , simply because "dangerous jokes" were simply rampant in our class ..
and adding from what Mr Loh had reflected ....
"at first is me and wang f playing paper balls ,
shooting at each other
then wang f throw accidnt hit xiwei head,tat time still in playing mood so xi wei was like
'i wan to throw things at the guy's head'
then jiayang take jm's things out say ' nah nah take this take tat
out came jm's pencil case, files paper and the water bottle
xiwei take still dunno who throw her so anyhow throw
kana jy head
could tell jy was feeling painful
then qiang yi say ' wa today finally u hit someone's head accurately'
xiwei then laugh laugh
suddenly jy stood up take water bottle and threw on xiwei head,
damn hard den jy say ' eh u throw at innocent ppl head still laugh laugh laugh' loudly
xiwei started crying
asked for tissue frm qiang yi
then went off to toilet instead"
*Jy here refers to the Physical leader and not Jieying =)
and i dunno how , and why PL got really infuriated with that action (perhaps it really hurts..just my guess) . PL roared at Ms.Xw,if i'm not wrong , with some vulgarities and eventually threw the poor little innocent waterbottle at her . According to Illya (who was enjoying music with her ear-piece stucked in her ears) , the sound of the bottle hitting on Ms.Xw was "very very loud"
-
well eventually , PL did the gentlemanly way of apologising
i think he actually waited outside the girls' toilet and said sorry to Ms.Xw regarding his sudden and weird change of attitude or in KC's way of saying , not keeping a cool head .
Happy ending -Ms.Xw accepted the sincere apology ofcos !
