2 observations

1st observation: people who have the same birth date are starkly different.

same birth date = same year as well.
different in terms of character. BIG difference.

2nd observation: if there are 2 sisters in the family, perhaps with another brother/sister or whatever, the elder one would be more defiant.

i have cross-refered to many sources so this should be pretty accurate i feel.

last day of the month

August past very quickly and today's the last day of the month. frightening i must say.

tomorrow marks the start of september.

August has been a busy month. Start of prelims, start of truncated time table, and start of a whole new nightmare. But there are indeed some memorable days in august i must admit, including the 16 days of Olympics, gatherings, movie-ing. Other than that, every day is pretty much a struggle to endure through.

So I managed to catch 'The Banishment' which was an omigod abstract art firm. So abstract that I was much lost half way and i started to seek help to decipher the contents. It was real slow and abstract that I almost fall asleep. There's a reason why the movie was 2 and 1/2 hours long. It was real slow with minimal dialogues and super slow actions.

And I like the russian language though i can barely comprehend it actually. it was reading the subtitles but it's still nice listening to what the characters had to say. But the entire movie had a twist of plot and so it pretty much was a shock when the ending was shown. Available at picturehouse only.

omigod she has a degree in music. omigod she got her degree in london. omigod she knows both piano and violin. omigod i'm so much in shock that i wanna faint. omigod i also wanna go london. omigod i shall stop omigod-ing and continue chanting the mantra.

eat. sleep. mug econs.

goodnight.

judgemental

.

our self-perceived beauty.
it's so scary how some things that appears to be beautiful ain't really so.
but it's inherent in us to judge at first sight.
to form first impressions that may not at all hold true.
to judge base on what our senses perceive things to be.
we fail to comprehend the deeper meaning of people's actions.
we fail to look deeper within us.

we are so unfortunate to be blinded by what seemed to be the truth, but are instead mere lies.

Boey's eyes were totally fixated onto the TV screen and it's horrendously hard to get her attention when she enters the TV age. So horrifying. Haha. I can totally imagine her screaming at me from afar in school if she ever reads this post.

Like who can miss her significant 'FANGGGGGGGG' in school.

So scary. The rest don't even call me as loudly as she does.


Mum told me how we won't be going abroad with my cousins this year. Extreme sadness cos' I kinda enjoyed our trip together last year. It was just so omigod funny. So it's vietnam for them after A's and for me, we've yet to decide. But I'll be returning together with Ong number 2nd when she returns from her taiwan immersion programme and when I return from thailand. We can so omigod meet at the airport after her 18 days and after my 15 days. it's really a coincidence though.


Brain talks to heart. Heart is just a stubborn little thing which ignores brain. And now heart walks into the wall and gets hurt becos' of his stupidity. Time is the almighty that would attempt to heal Heart. Brain is now sniggering at the side, watching the fun.

my 10 minutes of ordeal

somehow or rather, my legs took me to the un-usual mayflower primary bus stop instead of the usual one that i usually go. ok. this sentence sounds grammatically weird but i don't really care. back to where i was saying.

it was around 1pm. the time was indeed significant cos' it meant that all the primary school students would have ended school and would have flooded the bus stop, as a matter of fact. so it started off with only 5-6 students. so i waited for what seemed to take forever to come and yes, only then did i realise that the zoo bus might have just left and i would be stuck there feeling so miserable for the next 10-15 minutes.

so back to the kids. more and more came. some played catching, some merely stoning, some flashing their omigod-even-more-zai-than-mine handphones. and they looked barely 10 years old for pete's sake. yes, N72. i saw this kid who's barely reaching my elbow holding this phone, standing so near me that he was on the verge of flanking it into my face.

p.s there's no such thing as flanking; i just coin it up on my own

ok. that was still tolerable. till there was this p school kid who was muttering vulgarities so softly that the whole world could hear it. yes, you ain't reading this wrongly; it's supposed to be a paradox. as least he was speaking in a volume loud enough for me to hear and be pissed off so yes, i was terribly irritated. so my 10 to 15 minutes ordeal was a pretty horrendous one. yes, it ain't an 'ordeal' for nothing and then the slow poke bus came, alleviating me of my misery in the least. Argh. How i wish it was 169 instead that i was waiting for. At least i won't have to look like an utter pathetic soul waiting for a bus that take eons to reach.

And yesterday was kinda funny cos' my dad wanted to watch usain bolt run the 200m. Waiting and waiting so was he and so I casually said that it might have been over and I would give him 100 bucks if it hasnt. (note:time was 10.15pm already ok.)

NO. as a matter of fact, the race was at 10.45pm like OMIGOD. So late can and it was like the last event and so yes, bolt ran, was 1st and broke the world record.

wow. thank you very much. it certainly just entertained me when he was 'performing' in front of the camera to celebrate his victory.

and back to my books.

tomorrow will be french and the day after korean. OMIGOD. fireworks! (: (:
in the case you don't read the papers, it's on the22nd and 23rd August. 9pm. City Hall/Marina Square.

oh my tians.

Was just studying the other day and this random thought popped up my mind.
Prelims will be my first 3 hours arts paper ever taken.
And A levels will be ironically, my last.
I've NEVER sat for a 3 hours straight arts paper in my life you know; econs don't even take up 3 hours for pete's sake.

3 Hours = 3 Essays = Potato, Spaghetti, Coleslaw.

It's just an internal joke that we made up during h1 lessons. It kinda died off but I still find it funny how the western stall auntie can just chant it every day to every student who didnt specifically tell her what side orders they want.

So weird.

My first 3 hours paper. Hope I survive.

those little little sweet things in life.

significant.

but why do we always take it for granted?

maybe it's just inherent in our nature.

unless you lose it, it won't even seem to be important at all.

.

Hope.
Faith.
It's these that keep us going.

Long tiring day it has been. I'm looking forward to the arrival of friday.

Dinner. Meet ups. But of course not looking forward to having to dash home from the bus stop. I can't really imagine how terrible it is.

So Olympics has been the hot topic around recently. The amazing thing about it is that you will never be able to tell who's gonna claim that gold medal somehow; one who was leading intially doesn't mean that he'll secure his medal eventually. It leads to the anxiety and excitment you may feel for the competitors out there. And today was a funny day cos' majority in the canteen had their eyes glued to the TV and we were all watching the Olympics. And yes, don't forget to include the cheers they had when Phelps won.

Gosh. He secured his 4th gold already.

And Mr Ang told us about the recent issue on how the fireworks are claimed to be fake. It was like you serious?! Argh. It would be so saddening if it is really photoshopped but I don't think it is so. Why in the world will they risk their reputation of holding the Olympics and spend so much just for others to call them a hoax? It's $40 billion for pete's sake.

Argh. Just back to how the Games came at the wrong time. Must control. control. control. Must study. study. study. Reality strikes in 2 weeks' time.

活在梦境比活在现实中好许多。

因为现实中太黑暗，太恐怖了。

相比之下，在有如天堂般的世界里

只充满着爱和关怀，充满着无比的快乐。

i love 31/07

ok. this's truly from my heart. yesterday's episode just so reveal what team/class spirit is all about. truly.

from all the start of peer tutoring till the end of the entire movie session, i got to see another side of the cranky crazy 31/07. different people with diverse characters but somehow or rather, we can just come together to form a bond so close to my heart. it will be great to be able to hold this spirit till JC life ends.

i think it will be kinda sad being the only one not attending d&d. but it could not be helped cos' some things just gotta give. i've learnt eons again that it is never possible to have the best of both worlds, so it's a pity that d&d is the one that i've got to give up. call it opportunity cost.

so it's back on how i hope the 31/07 spirit will hold, will stay and will last till after A's. it's only now that i know it is this class that constitute so much of my jc life that it completes it.

"you sound sad".

it caught my attention in her sms.

i didn't know what to make out of it, but it was really appreciated. close friends are still all that matter.

and i should just close this blog down. it seems meaningless. don't say it's lame even though that yes, i agree that i've just started this blog not too long ago. it's my prerogative.

-

the issue about man and their ambitions.

you fought, strived, worked so very hard.
one goal was all that stand in front of you.
your dreams, inspirations, hopes.
reaching out to you.

reached out or clashed in front of you.
stand still, behold the truth.
that's manipulation by fate
either working against or working towards

embrace lies, truth or are there even grey areas to begin with.
where do you stand, hold your faith, keep your grace.
clashed. don't waver, don't ponder.
look straight, don't falter don't hesitate.

just keep walking. we'll get there somehow.

superhero.
i ain't so.
limit.
there's a maximum to what i can handle.
don't push it. i may explode.

and it's been getting harder and harder for me to manage. i've no idea how to deal with it alone. no idea.

dilemma.

i'm trapped in this circle. stuck.

.

i've been trying to tally my brain with my heart

tally my words with my actions.

tally my soul with my body.

misplaced.

misplaced trust. misplaced lies. misplaced words. misplaced soul.
