soccer doesn't go well with me.
i realise it's been pretty long since i've last blogged. but haha it's time to rejoice! it's the start of the one month hols! yay! although i'll probably have to spend most of it studying, which sucks! seriously i think the singapore education system sucks to the core (haha, maybe someone would like to shut me up before i go on and on because i really do have ALOT to complain about the stupid system. i swear i'll never let my kids study here.) cos all they do is pressure kids to study their asses off. it's all about grades. i mean, do you find anywhere else in the world where a ten year old kid works an average of six hours a day? well, i never had to go through that, but it irks me when parents can't stop comparing their children's grades as if they were goods in a mall. (like, if my kid scores higher than yours, i'll feel a sense of euphoria? excuuusee me?)
let's see...recap of the past week. a major event was the soccer finals between my school and vjc on wednesday at the national stadium. mmm although i think it's quite embarrassing to talk about it now cos we were thrashed. haha i left even before the match ended. i realise i can't sit through a soccer match without fidgeting or complaining non-stop. maybe it's just cos i'm watching sub-standard soccer cos it's not like i'm watching manchester united play liverpool or something cos that's far from it! i was bored to tears. i must have annoyed a whole bunch of people around me. and i still think the concept of watching 20 men running after a ball is utterly ludicrous. you wait SO long before a goal is scored. and when it is, you cheer ecstatically for about a minute and then it's back to watching the round object being kicked around again. urghhh.
but the company made up for the rotten day i guess. haha. went with vic, nel, ps, candice and cheryl to the match. had burger king before that...we were sharing funny stories about people in our previous schools and we laughed our heads off. :) went ktv-ing again today! it was fun! but i think my voice is hoarse now. it's been quite a fulfilling last week of school. as you can see, "fulfilling" in my dictionary constitutes of no work but all play. i'm desperately trying to enjoy myself before i've got to get down to studying. :(
i've got a pc exam for lit tomorrow! bleah. i dread it. one and a half hours is going to be wasted trying to analyse something with no relevance to my life. right now, i'm trying to enjoy my pint of ben and jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice-cream.
that, to me, is bliss.

harry's at esplanade.
i hate it when there's no one around to cook for me. that's cos i can't whip myself anything other than instant noodles, and honestly, the thought of that makes me not want to eat at all. even instant noodles doesn't taste as good when i cook it myself...in fact, it reeks. haha, oh well, it's good preparation for this 30 hour famine camp i'm going for next month! it's the latest losing weight strategy...plus cip hours too! what beats that? :)
went to harry's at esplanade yesterday. it was awesome...i must say the atmosphere there's really breathtaking, especially in the dark corners only lit by candle-lights near the stage, where this guy was crooning jazz tunes. i had a lime margarita! it was gooooooddd. marc had this thing called standing ovation or something (haha, he read it as standing ovulation at first, and we laughed like crazy) and it was filled with bailey's and some other stuff? it tasted a little like cookies and cream ice cream! mel had tequila sunrise, i loved that, i think it tastes just as good as sex on the beach, which is my current favourite. :) poor cheryl though, her drink didn't taste the slightest bit alcoholic at all, it was more like a mocktail, but it was yummy and we all agreed that if it had the alcoholic taste in it, it'll be the best. we ate like crazy before that at this indonesian restaurant..four of us had two baskets of rice! cos the rice was free flow, so we just kept eating rice. haha, the pains of being teenagers who are so into the concept of value for money. :)
but i realised something horrifying about myself. alcohol induces sleep in me. it doesn't get me drunk or high or anything, at least not in small amounts, but it gets me extremely sleepy. the last time i went clubbing, i was practically half asleep on the platform. i wonder why...it's like my body reacts to alcohol like it does to sleeping pills. my eyelids just get so heavy, and i have to force myself to stay awake. arghh.
ok, time to get bumming back to bed. i've to enjoy the last bit of my weekend. :)

basketball finals.
arghh. i'm pissed at the pile of homework we've been having for the past few days. it's sitting on my desk like mount everest, calling out for my touch. haha, too bad. i'm not in the mood.
yesterday was my school's basketball finals against hcjc. it was thrilling! actually, i'm pretty naive when it comes to basketball cos i've no clue about the rules and all that, and when you get free throws etc. but i managed to enjoy myself all the same...although i thought the cheering on our side was pretty lacklustre. mmm...we won the boys' game but the girls lost! so i guess it's a fair deal. however, it was nerve-wrecking when the boys played cos towards the end, it started to get very close and the hc people kept scoring basket after basket, and all we got were free throws. for once, i was pumped up about a school activity and i started screaming. haha. after that, i went to mos to eat wtih al...the ice milk tea there was so good! bumped into her friend, the one she insists looks like zaizai, but i so disagree! zaizai looks a gazillion times better. :)
i've got a pc lit essay and a gp comprehension to complete by tonight. and there's american idol, which i'm not going to give up! honestly, i don't like fantasia's voice. i don't see what the hype is about her and why the judges adore her. i think diana's so much better! and jasmine...she's good but she won't make it past tonight. that's what my bets are on anyway. oh, but i'm in love with this song fantasia sang last night. it's "the greatest love of all" by whitney houston. check it out...:)
Whitney Houston - The Greatest Love of All
I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I will live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Chorus:
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
what powerful lyrics.

nkf woes.
today was a pretty slack day in school. haha, practically no one came. all the teachers got too sick and tired of teaching us, and they decided to get a day off from strangling our thick necks. mmm, but lit was pretty good. for once, i wasn't sleepy! and john smith was entertaining. he's my lit teacher, cute, round and...balding. just imagine a farmer on a farm, or colonel sanders, and there you have it. a perfect picture of him. :)
i'm still worrying about the stupid nkf charity concert thing which i'm dying to go for, but not willing to pay 150 bucks! sighh. as you've already guessed...zaizai's coming! my number one prince charming. :) that's why i'm dying to go. trying to find a sponsor now! i ended up gathering the guts to call my granny, who called up this filthy rich relative who donates tons of money to nkf every month cos of my granduncle, who's under kidney dialysis. and guess what? about an hour later, my granduncle (the one under the dialysis) called me up! i felt really bad, cos i didn't mean to get HIM involved. but he was very sweet and all, and told me he'll help me find out if he could get complimentary tics for me. or vip tics! arghh that would be heavenly!
i think it's imperative to have connections. that's why i aspire to be an editor of a magazine of some sort, to get all these freebie benefits! and it's ironic that those people who get them usually don't want them. but i've been blessed so far. went for all my previous concerts all on vip or complimentary tickets. haha. :)
on the other hand, if i marry zaizai, i'll have him sing to me and smile at me whenever i want! so i think that's the dream i'd have to pursue for now. haha. yes, i'm nuts. a girl can dream, can't she? lalala...

pensive.
i'm feeling pensive today. i don't know why. i just keep drifting off into a land of my own. and i've got a damn bitch of an econs test tomorrow, of which i have no idea what's it about and what's going on. so i'm like staring at the same page for half an hour and nothing's going in, cos my brain isn't functioning.
i wish i could crawl into a deep, dark hole and stay there. without any cares and concerns about life, about studying, about everything happening in the world. somehow i feel that everything affects me. even if it's a minute and insignificant thing in my life, it still bugs me. maybe i'm just too oversensitive, but i can't help that, can i?

orlando bloom can be my prince.
haha. this is the queen's first decree! i can't believe i got a blog. i mean, if the computer illiterate me can get a blog, i believe anyone can! :) ok, it's not like i'm trying to promote blogger here, but this is like a milestone in my life. and of course, the wonderful, pretty blog of mine is none other than the creation of xiujuan. (haha, did you really think i did it myself?) thanks babe, love ya! she does amazing things to html. :)
mmm. watched troy today. it's so good! but of course, what's better are the hotties. orlando bloom is extremely drop-dead gorgeous! arghh. he's got such chiselled features and a swoon-worthy body. won't it be nice if he'll be my prince? but i must say brad pitt looked better in his younger days, although he does still look good, for a man of forty. my dad looked a million times worse when he was forty. haha. xiujuan watched it with marcus, cheryl and i for the second time. she's mad and horribly obsessed. four of us went to ktv yesterday too. sang until we became crazy, and refused to leave the place after that!
i'm such a bum. i refuse to touch my work. and lian choo told my dad i can only spend half an hour on the internet each day, and it's impossible for anyone in my class to get straight A's for the exams. bleah. and my dad loves to bitch about me to her. told her i'm spending too much time on the phone and stuff. what kind of father does that to his daughter's reputation?
i think i'll go back to orlando land. work can wait. :)
