The nausea's still annoying me at regular intervals, but I managed to eat more than 1 plate of rice at lunch WHEEEEEE. Couldn't even sleep properly last night, I was so hungry. Watching Incredible Tales before bed obviously didn't help either.

I shall so get well. But I still hate whoever didn't wash his/her hands properly after going to the toilet and then TOUCHED MY FOOD EWWWWWWWWWWW.

Sigh watching Kdramas again.

And everything just clicked into place, suddenly everything seems so right and I've been so wrong;

Meh National Camp '09 OT interview tomorrow, must must must get well by then.

This stomach flu thingy's going to kill me, I swear. I'm so hungry but whenever I try to eat or drink, I feel awfully nauseous. BOOHOO. Either starvation or dehydration's going to take my life. D:

Sigh I'm so bored and nothing's been happening lately. My dad's gone off to Macau for 9 days and my mum's sick and coughing.

Urgh now the Little Nyonya commercial on Channel 8's playing on TV. I can't stand that TV show. The soundtrack is depressing and the actual story's even worse. I hate TV shows that are all doom and gloom, because hello, where's the entertainment in that?

Sigh the doctor says I've got gastroenteritis, which is cheemglish for stomach flu. Apparently, it's a leading cause of death for young children and infants but it's pretty hard to die from it once you're my age.

After the post this morning I had an awful headache plus my muscles were hurting like crazy everywhere in my body. Thing is, I knew I had a fever but didn't dare take my temperature in case I actually had a life-threateningly high fever. So I just slept through the whole morning till my mum came back so she could drag me to the clinic.

It turns out my fever WAS pretty high, but thankfully not life-threatening yet. 38.7 deg C, eeks. No wonder I couldn't think straight. The last time I had a fever around that temperature, I could barely use my brain. D:

Okay, so I'm sick.

I don't know how it happened, sigh. One minute I was at my condo's Annual General Meeting eating 8 pieces of carrot cake and contemplating the unfairness of life, then I started feeling kind of bloated and heavy (I attributed it to the bad carpark air). Nevertheless, I finished asking my dumb questions in front of all my neighbours and improving their opinions of GEPers before heading back upstairs.

My mum didn't feel like cooking, so I made instant noodles for both of us. Then I went online and started laughing at people's blogs as usual while talking to my dad about the unfairness of life. The bloated feeling came back then. And all of a sudden I was telling my parents I might just have gotten food poisoning, then Merlioning my dinner and the undigested remains of my lunch into the washbasin.

Yay.

Just when I thought I was feeling better because the bloated feeling was gone, it came back again. So I puked again. And again.

I tried to sleep it off, but guess what happened just when I was about to fall asleep? Yup, pukefest number 4.

Worse still, I can so understand why bulimics find it so hard to stop retching their meals into the toiletbowl. Each time I puked I found it harder to stop.

Sigh. The last time I puked was at 2am in the morning when I decided that maybe it'd be good to drink some water because my throat felt like the Sahara at 3pm in the afternoon (hehe Twilight quotes FTW!) which was fully thanks to the fact that I couldn't keep any water down.

Then for the rest of the night I suspect I was running a fever, but I didn't dare to check. Plus all the body aches made it super hard to sleep, which is why I'm awake bright and early today for once.

My legs still feel like jelly, but at least the puking's gone. I hope. But I still need to see a doctor. I suppose it's all my fault for eating that carrot cake at the meeting, but it LOOKED SO GOOD. D:

Sigh Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang is so sweet :D

Finally finished watching the series! And I REALLY like one of the songs because...hehe. Yearmates should know la (: (I think.)

I love the part in the middle when the guy holds the girl's hand and says he's never letting her go :D And then promptly pushes her away when he sees their friends because he's so paiseh about them knowing about their relationship. So the girl gets pissed (duh) and the guy tosses and turns in bed later that night feeling all regretful about letting her go. :P

And of course, the part where he proposes! IT'S SO SWEEEEEEET.

Squee I love Korean dramas!

GO LAVA FOR RCY CHALLENGE '08! <3

Betcha y'all will have so much fun :D Have an awesome time k!

I hate swimming D:

In order to secure my freedom this afternoon so I could go eat lunch and shop with Lingzhi at Compass Point, I had to sacrifice this morning in the pool. My mum has this weird craze with swimming because she thinks that the canoe in OBS will overturn and our life jackets will suddenly not work and I'll need to swim to safety. :/

So anyway I actually managed to move myself from one end of the pool to the other! So I got to go out, yay :D

I reached the place 10 mins early and waited like half an hour for that girl sheesh :/ And dear Lingzhi turned out to be just at the OTHER end of the MRT station and she came even earlier than me! Her theory was that I wouldn't be so dumb as to wait at the non-shoppingcentre end of the station. Whoops.

We went to Cold Storage first to buy her 1.5 litres of Coke lol. Then we went for lunch and that was when it REALLY got amusing :D

I bought char kway teow and Lingzhi bought chicken rice. Then she made me go get 2 cups of ice for her from the drinks stall because she wanted to drink her Coke and share some with me. But I felt bad just asking for the ice without buying anything, so I got iced tea and asked for an extra cup of ice. I asked like 3 times for it k, and all the auntie gave me was this COFFEE CUP. So I malu-ly went back to our table with the tea and coffee cup :/ I think Lingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw it, but actually Coke in a coffee cup really DOES look like black coffee so I suppose it was okay...?

Then she wanted to try my char kway teow, so I asked her if she wanted to try a cockle (I paid $1 more for extra cockles) from the kway teow and picked out a nice big one for her :D But she said she wanted to try a tiny one so I put it on her spoon and she popped it into her mouth...

...and her face changed. At first she had this shocked expression on her face, then she looked really nauseated and went pale. I was laughing uproariously at first, but she looked really sick and I thought she was going to go into convulsions or something. Then she started gagging and finally spat out the cockle. So she wasn't allergic after all :D But her reaction to it was way more drastic than when I first ate cockles, sigh. Looks like she'll never become a fan, unlike me.

Though I'm definitely never going to ask anyone to eat cockles again. You never know how many Lingzhis there are around. No wonder hawker stalls give people the option of leaving cockles out of their food. It's an acquired taste.

STUPID LINGZHI KEPT COMPLAINING MY BREATH SMELT OF COCKLES! (Actually, they smell a bit like blood. That's why they're called Blood Cockles. No, really. You can stop gagging now.) I took super long to finish my lunch because I kept going into fits of laughter everytime she mentioned the word 'cockle' from then on.

We went to Popular to get my Chinese and Social Studies books for next year, then back to my house for me to drop off my books and get more stuff and switch off the soup cooker, and then back to Compass Point again.

After that we just sat at the bus interchange and talked for a long, long time about stuff. Jiayou Xinglingzhi, everything passes :D Yours is only four days, so just survive and it'll all be over soon!

Then Lingzhi needed a comb so we went to like 4 places to find them: Watsons, Helen, Guardian and Cold Storage. In the end, she settled on the 1st place we went to >:( I didn't know combs nowadays are so ugly, ew. And they're really expensive too.

And finally we both went home :D

Jiayou LAVA! And Yingxin (Low!) Xinyuan Wesley for your performance thingy, since I can't watch on both days D: BUT I ALREADY KNOW THE PLOT HAHAHAHA.

265th post! Which happens to be my dream PSLE score, but I missed it by one mark D:

Actually, I do get quite annoyed whenever people in school ask me what I got for PSLE. Around 90+% of RGS girls have a higher score for PSLE than me. And for some weird reason people just LOVE comparing grades with me, so the conversation will normally go like this:

Random Person: Hey Crystal what did you get for PSLE?
Me *mumbles*: Um, 264.
Random Person: Oh. Mine wasn't very high la.
Me: So what did you get?
Random Person: 267/268/269 + DDDDDDD:
Me: *bangs head on table*

In some cases, people have also: 1. widened their eyes in surprise and blurted out "OMG I GOT A HIGHER PSLE SCORE THAN CRYSTAL!~" 2. brightened up immediately and sang "Hehe I got ten more marks!!!!!!"

Sheesh. I should really have studied harder for PSLE two years ago. Then I wouldn't have to suffer under the distinction of getting exactly the cut-off score. At least if I got a 250+ mark people would respect me as a DSA student or something (I think). But no, I look like I just scraped in by chance because I happened to just hit the cut-off point. Mehhhh.

Sigh. There are only so many times one can use the "I qualify for EMB!" or "But I got DSA!" excuse, so maybe the next time someone asks me for my score, I'll pretend to have diarrhoea and dash for the bathroom.

...And never come out till the 'A' Levels come round. :D

The last person who SMSed me was Xinyuan (and besides, this is SPARTAAAAA revenge), so tada!


Dear Xinyuan,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'll join the monastery. I think I realised it last year outside of Chicago and I saw you sit on the crazy monk. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning the pictures from LA to you, but I'll keep the oil stocks as a memory. You should also know that I never openly mocked Oprah Winfrey imitations.

Go burn,
Crystal.


I tag nobody :D

Sigh. I can't join the monastery, I'm not a guy! And yeah I WISH I'd visited LA before, but the sad truth's that I've never even been out of Asia before.

MUAHAHA XINYUAN I'VE GOT YOUR OIL PORTFOLIO~~~

I AM SO SUNBURNT.

My dad and grandma are politely not saying anything about my lobsterfication, but the plumber was staring at me when I opened the door for him just now.

Why can't my skin cooperate and react to the sun in a sensible way, such as getting tan instead of red?!

What makes things worse is that my legs are not burnt at all, which means that when the skin finally peels off, I'll have a VERY uneven tan on most of my arms and face but my legs will remain pasty pale.

Can anyone say "ew"?

Why do people keep giving me weird looks when I read The Princess Diaries on the train? It's not like I'm reading the script of The Vagina Monologues or something, which WOULD raise eyebrows with titles such as The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could (which is about...never mind. That part ends with the line "If it was rape, it was good rape", so go Wiki it or something).

It's slightly feminist, but Vic agrees it's a good read. I mean, you have a blonde princess who is in the Gifted and Talented class but constantly fails geometry, a smart best friend who looks like a pug and a sensitive writer in love with the princess. What more could anyone expect?

Besides, it's a total no-brainer, which is good. Nobody needs to read cheem monologues on oil prices (which have dropped, yay) or How The Current Economic Crisis Is Going To Affect The World. (Because we already know. No jobs, sir, no jobs.) In times like these, all we need is a good chick lit book to destress.

Which brings me to the point of actcheem-ness. If there's one type of person I can't stand (besides people who can't and won't spell properly), it's people who can spell but like to act cheem by inserting all kinds of Big Words into their writing. I mean, if you honestly need to use a Big Word, it's fine. But using Big Words for the sake of sounding smart ("Hey, Mum! Look! A BIG WORD!...damn, now what's a panacea*?") Everytime I come across one of these writings I feel like crossing the whole thing out and writing "NOBODY GETS YOU" on it.


*Panacea = cure-all. No offense to people who have used the word in their writings, unless you happen to be one of those airheads who don't even know what it means AND still used it somewhere.
--

Oh and my dad just had to scold me for something that was absolutely NOT my fault. I was happily typing away here after helping him get some heavy bags down from the top shelf in the storeroom. I wasn't even expecting any thanks from him seeing as his leg hurt, but he had to go all "Didn't you see how my leg hurt when carrying these bags? And now you won't even help me carry them back up?" in this cutting tone, when I could barely hear him calling my name because he hadn't enough sense to call me from somewhere nearer than the STOREROOM.

He should be so glad I only said "How was I supposed to know?", instead of "I've had enough of your temper now, because YOU HAVE BEEN MEAN TO EVERYONE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS and we've have just been tolerating you because your leg hurts. But everyone has a limit, y'know, and mine is just about up, RIGHT NOW."

But I held it in because he's finally getting treatment for the leg. Still, he doesn't get the hints we've been dropping him about his bad temper. And I'm not even kidding about the limit-to-my-patience thing.

Will blog the important parts of the trip tonight, after I'm done running a million and one errands for my mum. Sigh.

Hehe I got a new watch today :D Well, one and a half watches, actually. My mum promised me anything I wanted (within a certain budget, of course) if I met her target for GPA, and I exceeded by quite a lot so I'm getting a digital watch.

So now I've got a brand-new Casio, yay. Plus half a Juicy Couture watch, which costs a bomb but I'm sharing it with my mum.

(Interruption: Oh shoot she seems to have just set a new record for the shortest time taken to spoil a watch. My mum, I mean. She tried on the Juicy watch and the buckle popped off, so she tried to fix it but ended up affixing the buckle on the wrong side of the catch. So now it doesn't work and I'll have to bring it to the Juicy shop down at Heeren for the people there to fix it. Yay.)

Anyway, the Casio's going to be the first digital watch I've ever owned, and -

Oh, it's dinnertime. I'll continue later.













Yay RGSRCY for FAC '08 :D Well done le la!

--

The wedding was pretty fun though :) I suppose that made up for the whole missing-FAC-and-Clueless thing, sigh. 敬茶 was quite amusing because I forgot that I was the first to go until my cousin piped up that "eh you're the oldest so you're the first to go leh! :D:D Then the rest of us will watch you and learn."

Uh-oh.

Holidaying in Cambodia from 16th-20th November, miss me k? (:

Okay I know I should be packing for Sunday or preparing for the wedding tomorrow or something more productive than talking to Lingzhi about people's dress sense (yesterday) or in the absence of Lingzhi, bitching on missmurder (today), but I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO PACK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE.

And I'm not in the mood to do anything sheesh. For once, I'm not even hungry.

[edit] Not sure if yearmates read this but JIAYOU FOR FAC MAKE BETTER DONUTS K? (then eat them all up! No, just kidding.)

Oh dear I just realised something:

I have an aunt (not distant in terms of bloodline but I only saw her once or twice) in 106 '08 and she knows me but I don't know her and I've never said hi to her before even though I promised myself I'd write to her this year to get to know her since, well, same school and she's my junior and all.

And she's probably going to be at my aunt's wedding and I'll be too paiseh to meet her.

Maybe I'll ask Rach to help me later. She's Rach's guitar junior.

Diedie.

Went back to Rosyth today for their graduation concert and had a warm fuzzy feeling inside all through our visit (:

I was late. Whoops. And made Vic and Azaac wait for me. Whoops. At least I hope they used their alone time together fruitfully. Whoops I didn't say that.

It was all really sweet, EK was making "P6s Before You Leave These Are The Core Values You Must Take Away" speeches and there were all those Habits of Mind on the screen and we got a seat near Mr Grosse who REMEMBERED ME AND ASKED ME IF I'M STILL WRITING. At first he called my name but I thought it was just because my shirt (was wearing the 212 class shirt) had my name on it but HE REMEMBERS ME EVEN THOUGH HE ONLY TAUGHT ME IN P4 WOOHOO.

And then this Kevin-lookalike guy from the graduating batch started singing their batch graduation song and his voice was awesomeeee and suddenly I remembered our batch's graduation and felt like crying, even though during OUR grad concert I never shed a single tear. The emcee (Wendelyn?) stood up and announced that the P6s were going to sing At The Beginning so we all joined in heh.

Then halfway through the song Mrs Koh asked us to give a speech! So we decided to impromptu and she handed us the mike and the three of us talked utter crap to all our darling P4-P6 juniors. We were supposed to be sharing our experiences in secondary school, but I couldn't resist adding "And don't get boyfriends and girlfriends and forget who your exclassmates are (:" at some random point of time, which earned us Disapproving Looks from the teachers present and titters from the rest of the auditorium. We I own. Azaac talked about how he was the only one from RosythGEP in Catholic High. Sad.

We then went to crash their classes and talked to Ms Khoo ("Ms Khoo be proud of us, we're taking TRIPLESCIENCE!") and Guolaoshi, who told us that the GEP classes now have classes with the mainstream people. Sigh. Not that it's such a bad thing, but I always loved the close-knit feeling of the GEP batches and the way the two classes always seemed to be one big class. Now with so many people mixed in to 'dilute' the batch, I wonder whether their bonds will be as strong as ours were. D:

Next stop was the staff room to visit Wulaoshi, but we saw Mr Grosse outside and talked to him a little more. He's a True Lit Lover, which is really really rare and his teaching style's the only one which I feel can rival Ms Leow's so far. And the reasons he gave for loving Lit made a lot of sense, because it's something I've been thinking about while choosing my subject combi, and I came to the same conclusions about Lit about a month ago.

WULAOSHI REMEMBERS ME TOO WHEEEEEEE. But she claims she's heartbroken because of all the things she told us I only remember her famous "敏宁不要坐在桌子上！" line. Well it wasn't my fault I was too tall for the chairs, right? She thought Azaac, Vic and I were in some sort of bizarre love triangle omg.

We saw Mrs Koh YY after that (which was around the time PM Glendon Goh finally made his appearance) but Vic and I had to go home. So Azaac went with us, and we all abandoned Glendon and went home :D



It seems our moods dictate our actions far too much.

Frustration comes in the form of pain pain pain and before that not being allowed to go for RCYC thanks to my prodigious lack of swimming and cycling ability. Which I do admit is my fault because I didn't practise, but to ban me from going because of that is quite unfair. Still, with no dad around at the moment to convince my mum I should go, I'm resigned to my fate. I don't want a replay of the Mrs A. Wee thing ("you're a special case! You're the only one who wants to go for OBS but has parental objections. :D")

Happiness is listening to good music and indulging in hedonism, generally speaking. I love the time-travel tune Xiaoyu and Jay play in Secret, even more than the title song which just about everyone else loves. I also want poetry because it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside (some poems, at least), but no chance of getting Touched With Fire till the week after next. I'm also too lazy to go to the library and pay off my NLB fines so I can borrow books, sigh.

Hehe I just realised something (:

Actually, I realised it a long time ago.

I'M SO PROUD OF Y'ALL!!! :DDD Thanks for trying because really, Yingxin and I thought we'd face many more obstacles but apparently everything's been going great hahahahaha I'm so happy you'd think I ate the canary.

If this keeps up we'll all do spectacularly well in April/May yeahmannnnnzzzzz.

omgxzxz mus finish wriiting faster worhx. leaviin sgp by 16th lo. yay.

why remember the firsts
the lasts
never the middles?

once, we sneaked out of school
past the guards and the metal fences
and gloated for
escaping truancy punishment.

it got mundane, so we the adventurers
went still further,
till we found ourselves lost forever
in concrete jungles
and missing childhood innocence.

The Phineas and Ferb opening theme was sung by Bowling for Soup.

Wao.

I'm quite annoyed because EVERYTHING IS THIS SATURDAY oh gosh why must we have priorities in life.

(Got inspired by Lingzhi's blogpost! Haha we're in the same sad boat D:)

1. FAC, which I've been wanting to support since forever because RGSRCY is pro and awesome and they've been working so hard and it's a good excuse to meet up with yearmates anyway. (Good excuses are defined as excuses which my mum cannot refute with a "not very important what!")

2. My aunt's wedding, which I've been wanting to go for since they announced it early this year and I've been counting down to it since I couldn't go for their ROM. I'm going for this one since family's, well, family and I'm supposed to go earlier to learn how to serve tea to the newlyweds and hopefully convince them to let me be their third emcee for the wedding dinner. Highly unlikely, but still worth a try.

3. Clueless. I really want to watch!!!!! But oh well.

Who wants to go watch Quantum of Solace on Thursday? xD I wonder how much free time we'll have next year, so we should enjoy the holidays while we still have them.

Deleted this post because I later felt it was too mean. Thanks Gloria though, I never knew others feel this way too. (:

It's the day before Tcamp, yearmates and juniors jiayou :D

The last lap, the last few hours.

There're so many things to do.

RALA FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111one111111111111111111eleven11111111

Hehe. My one dream since Sec 1, but I never thought I'd be able to achieve the overall GPA required or convince the school that I love Lit this much.

When I saw the J2 shared classrooms being used by the RA students, I remember pointing to the block and telling the person next to me that this is the place I want to study in in Sec 3 - but only for English and Lit.

When the nominations came out I debated internally whether or not to accept the Bio one, but decided against it because this is the only subject I really, really love.

RALA, here I come :D (Omgosh sounds wrong. Whoops.)

[edit] Thanks to everyone who's endured my whining about RALA thus far and encouraged me when I fully didn't deserve it: Anabelle Lingzhi Ruth Xinyuan Vic Rach "passer" and many many more. I love you all :D

(Felt bad about not thanking anyone after Vic announced her love for the whole world on HER blog.)

From Anabelle and subsequently Xinyuan:

1) Do you have secrets?
Of course. Big bad secrets that I hide from the world. OH I CUT MYSELF TO FEEL ALIVEEEEEEE - oh no, I just let the cat out of the bag. But I meant to anyway. If I wanted to hide it I'd have cut myself somewhere less obvious, like my stomach, instead of my WRIST.

2) How do you explain love?
Fluffy clouds and a bright sunny day.

3) Do you enjoy going to school?
No?

4) What would you do with a billion dollars?
Give most of it away and use the rest to buy an imba computer system with awesome games.

5) Would you fall in love with your best friend?
Yeah why not? Only that it'd be kind of hard to get a guy best friend in the first place since the friendship would be strained by relationship rumours. (Which, in this case, would end up coming true.)

6) Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved, duh. Oh the pain of unrequited love~~~ (lapses into emo mood and walks away sobbing)

7) List out your current 10 favourite songs.
Uh. Don't Stop The Music, Pump It (have no idea why), Love Song, Dancing Queen, Bleeding Love, Say Goodbye (the one Sara+Sandra sang for Arts Fest auditions) and I can't think of any more.

8) If the person you secretly like is attached, what would you do?
Slap him. I know it's not his fault but I'm a very vindictive person when it comes to these things. Some people who've known me for long enough would know. :D

9) Is there anything which has made you extremely happy?
Doing the yaydance and getting back results. I am so becoming a GPA-centred person oh no.

10) List the artists you listen to.
Anything that doesn't make me fall asleep.

11) How would you see yourself in 10 years time?
A successful, if somewhat plump (I hope not) food journalist. KF Seetoh FTW!

12) What is currently the most important thing to you?
I'm not telling you!

13) What is the kind of person you think who tagged you is?
Anabelle: Always very happy, and really optimistic!
Xinyuan: Opposite of Anabelle. Muahaha. Opposition politician.

14) Would you rather have a rich but ugly husband or poor but handsome husband?
Brilliant but not too good looking husband. I don't want husband stealers going after him. Also not too rich later got too much money to spend on mistresses.

15) What are your favourite colours?
Purple in all shades, pink, baby blue and grassy green.

16) Would you give an all in your relationship?
Not sure. Depends on whether the person's worth it.

17) If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
I WOULDN'T MUAHAHHAHAHA. The one who I love more lor. Or the one with better attributes. :D

18) Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing someone has done?
Forgive yes, forget no. I never forget these things but after some time I don't hate the person anymore.

19) Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
In a relationship. DUH.

20) 5 people to tag
I don't tag people.

Nope, they're still not up yet. According to Mr Jalleh, they "would try to print out the acceptance/rejection forms for us and send it over to our classes", or if the printer was too slow would "email our parents".

Nil. Nada. Zilch.

On the bright side, we got back our results today. I didn't exactly do well for RS but then again I hated the whole process, so. Am happy with GPA :D though apparently the whole cohort did pretty well this time. I'm not the kind who moans because my 3.87 dropped to a 3.83 or something O.o (maybe because I've never gotten a 3.8+ before?)

My English marks suffered 7 percentage points thanks to English PT. At least You-Know-Who didn't manage to dent my GP. But I barely scraped through.

Oh and since Vic left out some parts about yesterday's Drama Nite, I shall fill them in here:

1. Yaydancing.
During dinner, I suggested a yaydancing competition. So Vic and I yaydanced all the way from the middle of the canteen to the stairs woohoo. Sadly, Vic won D: Everyone in the canteen apparently gave us weird looks.

2. Pizza.
Well, not so much the pizza as the effect it apparently had on everyone else. They all got diarrhea. Except me. I suspect it might be partially due to the fact that I ate slightly less pizza, but more because half the food I eat isn't fresh, but usually has been left out for a few hours, thus the heightened immunity to germs in spoilt food.

Heh I remember when FPS Scenario Writing Middle Division results were being announced by Ms Ong SJ during one of our last RS sessions I was so nervous I exclaimed:

"THOU TORTUREST ME, MS ONG!"

So yes. Lead me to my fate, good RA people, for as I am I live upon the rack.

(Especially when the schedule said 5pm and as of 10.22.30pm after a thorough F5-punching marathon, there is still nothing on My Portal.)

What could we be doing
in the vanished years
of our lives? No longer

might we sit on the balcony
with liver spots on our hands,
wrinkles printing our faces,

a languor in our smiles.

I love that book. It's a doomed relationship, but there is so much hope at the end for the two men and for the Indian gods. The two men have Aids, but they eventually get over it and look forward to the remaining years of their lives. How often have we missed the beautiful things in life? I really like the title because of its significance to the entire story, but didn't quite get it at first.

Oh yeah I was supposed to be posting about MPP.


We saw a LOT of people we knew. Shiyuan Wesley Joshng Joshyeo (though I don't know him as in KNOW him) Shaocloud from HCI, Enting from Nanyang and Jeremy from ACS(I) MR. Shaun Ou was supposedly there but no matter how hard we tried to see him we couldn't.

Thamsy GREW HAIR :O I think he looks a lot better now but Vic begs to differ.

First part was just a general briefing about MPP. Looks like we're set to apply, it sounds pretty fun. But since Denise might be joining SMP, we're down to 4 people in the group. Xinyuan Vic Lidan me (: Even though we have less people, I think we'll still be able to handle it, so our group shall just stay small.

Tea was...okay. The food was amazingly good for GE Branch standards; past experiences with GE Branch food have led me to discover the existence of Mystery Meat and the possibility of eating chicken cooked in various forms for 5 days straight. This time we had dainty little sandwiches with the crusts cut off (: I couldn't resist niaoing Shiyuan about his hair. His friend thought he suddenly gained popularity with girls because there was like a whole crowd of RG girls walking behind him lolol.

Concurrent Session A was good. We were originally planning to go for B but we stumbled upon A and everyone refused to leave, so.

HOTA, Virtual Games and Death Penalty (Official Table of Drops!) FTW :D

Hehe going home was amusing. Ms Lim and Mr TJ Lee brought the whole crowd of us out to the main road. Mr TJ Lee led the Westie group while Ms Lim led the Eastie group. I decided to break away from the main group once we reached Bukit Timah Road and walked to the bus stop instead where Gloria and her debate friends and Wesley with his Hwachong friends were already waiting for a bus.

Ten minutes later, Ms Lim's group hurried over to the same bus stop. :D

Ms Lim's super funny la, Lidan and some other people were supposed to take 67 to Tampines or something and they were all set to board when Ms Lim insisted that they stay so that she could "help them check the route". By the time she ascertained that they could indeed take 67, the bus had already driven off. -.- Then she made me call Denise to check if she was safely in her mum's car, but Xiaoqi borrowed my phone so I borrowed Wesley's.

Ms Lim: "Aiyo why borrow from that Hwachong guy? He doesn't even know you or Denise!"
Me: "Actually, he has Denise's number. :D"
Wesley: *nods* "Yeah."
Me: "See?"

Ms Lim looked faintly horrified. I might have accidentally given her the idea that Denise gives her number to random Hwachong guys she meets. Whoops.
