SERIOUSLY! When we had common tests after common test, I had 1000 things to blog about. Now I have nothing important to worry about, I'm having a bloody WRITER'S BLOCK. It's when a writer gets NO inspiration whatsoever to write on. Work better under pressure? Maybe. But it's not a good thing. NOT A GOOD THING.
I can foresee a dreadful week ahead of me. Getting our tests back one by one, the sorrows, the joys, the agony, the laughter. WHATEVER. I'm only happy about Friday cause I scored well for my POA. PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! THE LESSON I NEVER PAY ATTENTION TO. But our teacher kept complimenting me so well... once in a blue moon, might as well enjoy the moment.
Today we had Kinder Surprise. Childish, I know. But it's a really good idea. It's usually on Mondays, but we couldn't get the eggs on time so we had it today. Carol, the tree-lover, officially has a club. The TREE-Club. Members consist of Denise, Drusilla and the President, Carol. This 3 people have been getting the toy TREES. While Cheryl and I got the toys from the Monster Hotel series.
CONFIRMATION: That Nicole person-pusher, IS FROM MY CCA. What luck. Talking about guitar, Syf is going to be so tedious. All the damned rehearsals, taking up so much of my time. Speaking of which, I had a conversation with Sharon Einstein Seng, about the school's Harp Ensemble. I told her they got gold for syf. This was Sharon's reaction:
Sharon: -gives weird stare- Janice: Yeah, the harp ensemble got gold. Sharon: But they SHOULD get gold! There aren't many Secondary School Harp Ensemble, if they didn't get gold, that'll be pathetic! Janice: Oh! Your right...
Honestly, having a conversation with that Einstein really boosts your intelligence. Even my sister's boyfriend told me," Wah, that Sharon is really a walking encyclopedia!"
Sharon and Carol were from CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel. I think the school implanted something strange into their students. Both Sharon and Carol enjoy walking. REALLY ENJOY. Very thrifty. Really smart I think there's some mystery going on here....
Anyway I wrote a poem for Cheryl and Drusilla(and her funnyface tree) Cheryl: Cheryl cannot sing She might kill the king All of us are scared That it'll be very very bad We should shut her lips And throw her in the keeps Don't let her sing Or all of us will hinge
Drusilla: Drusilla, I beseech you to pay attention Or you might turn into a salt solution Stop smiling at your funny tree It shouldn't be all you can see You better pay attention to the teacher Or you might be raped by a lecher.
Hahaha, I was bored during lessons okay? I know it's really "diao" but boredom kills.
Wu Yue Tian Album is super nice. I can't believe I'm saying this...
Okay before I start ranting, COMMON TESTS ARE OVER! OVER OVER OVER! Although I know I flunked my Maths and Chemistry. (those darn Mole concept Questions). If I fail POA, SS or Biology, I'll cry. I don't give two hoots about whether I fail Literature or not (Sadly yes...)
During the CT period school will end at 1pm, yes? About the same time as the Primary School. Which means FLOODED BUSES! Especially that blasted 53 bus. Let's not just talk about going home, coming to school also has the bloody same problem. A super constricted place during those times.
AND IF THAT IS NOT PROBLEM ENOUGH TO BE A HUMAN SANDWICH....
Let me first ask a question. *ahem* Am I small? I know I answer for everyone when I say NO! I'm a fully grown adult, yes, indeed, I passed my 16th birthday and I highly doubt I can grow anymore. I'm not skinny at all, I'm an average sized person in Singapore. Meaning, you CAN and WILL see me if I'm standing right in front of your FACE. Got that point? Good. Let me carry on.
As I was saying, I'm not small, BUT WHY THE HECK DO PEOPLE NOT SEE ME IN THE BUS?! 3 People...Let me repeat, 3 annoying people have PRETENDED that I was not there and literally pushed and squeeze me to the very corner so that they can stand where they want to.
In the morning, twice, on different days, 2 aunties did exactly that to me. I was standing at the corner of the empty passengers space, leaning on the bars at the window. Then that space was already getting quite packed. Normal people would not try and squeeze in anymore so they'll just stand along the isle. BUT NO... These 2 aunties just had to squeeze into the space right in front of my face. BOTH OF THEM! DID THE SAME THING! And they kept leaning over to me for who knows what reason. And what's more, THEY STINK. Those aunties prepared to go market. Ugh...why me...?
And today, after school the 53 bus was packed like no one's business. Then this girl (I tell you I'm so pissed with her I mentally noted her name: Nicole ?an - don't know what alphabet goes there cause it was covered by her bag. And I think she's in my CCA. Sec 2.), that girl kept pushing and pushing me because she wanted to talk to her friends. LIKE HELLO?! I felt like telling her off so badly. She was really desperate to talk to her friends. She kept pushing and squeezing me so that she can have a nice spot to stand and talk. LIKE FREAK! IDIOT! AWIEGJARIP!!!! NOT ONLY ONCE! BUT TWICE! When she had to move in cause people went down the bus, she was quite pissed.(I saw the annoyed look on her face) But soon enough! She found another group of friends to talk to! Hence, she repeated her annoying pushing and squeezing regimes. I was so glad to get down the bus.
So annoyed. If it happens again, I'm so going to not give them the same chance. They're going to have to stand at where they can like everyone else. So annoyed...
-I think this was not a well written post. Had no inspiration after I took my nap-
Goes without saying, we Singaporeans speak a really flawed English. We mix whatever other languages we know into 1 sentence. For example: (ahem, I'm not good at this so excuse if it sounds weird) "ALAMAK! Wa lao eh, I do all wrong leh...Zhe me ban?!"
I mean seriously, I know we are a racially harmonious society. But must we prove it in such a way?! It makes us sound uneducated and barbaric. If you want to say something, stick to ONE language! Is it impossible to say what you wish with one language? Is your vocabulary so small?
Such illiteracy can be heard almost anywhere, anytime in Singapore. Till the point it gets so annoying. Being a country that depends much on tourism, is it not embarrassing that tourist hear our native people speak in such a way? I mean what's with, "Okay lor" or "do it that way lah". PEOPLE! DO YOU KNOW IT SOUNDS PERFECTLY FINE WITHOUT THE LOR OR LAH?! Save yourself the extra effort and oxygen. I understand oxygen is free of charge, everywhere and you don't have environmentalist going, "SAVE THE AIR! DON'T BREATHE!" But must we use it to the very max we can?!
Okay so maybe you can point a finger at the government saying they made you study 2 languages. So after awhile of it, you can't help but to mix it together. Perhaps I can agree. (Heh heh, I can finally insult chinese cause I'm really hopeless at it) Perhaps the government didn't foresee this language problem coming. And now, they are trying to solve the problem. Well it's QUITE LATE don't you think?! You should have thought of something to counter this problem much much earlier. I know that the more important world language is English and Chinese. But I'm pretty sure they meant English and Chinese by itself, not mixed Chinese and English. EXTRA INFO: Spanish is too an important language, or so I heard from Cheryl... [So that people won't go,"HAHA! Where got? She don't know one lah!" (see what I mean?) . I actually Googled whether Spanish is an important world language... It actually is!! It's more spoken than English in trades between America and Europe!]
Another thing that makes me laugh is about SMS. It's common knowledge that the space to type is limited. So people shorten their words to the max. It's still a wonder to me how a "please" became a "plox". But you know why people have to shorten?! It's because they add unnecessary words like, "leh, lor, lah, hor, arh". PLUS with the more "ah lian" alphabets like 'x' or 'z'. Then it becomes ,"lehx, lorz, larx, horz, arhx". IF YOU CAN'T COUNT, IT TAKES UP 4 SPACES OF YOUR SMS SPACE! That's why you have to shorten it so much, because you don't use such words only once.
You tell me that it's natural for us Singaporeans! I bet even you do it!
I admit, yes, I do add redundant words in my speech. Especially when speaking casually to my friends. But towards someone from overseas, like my cousins. Or people older or of a higher social status, not adding those 'lahs' or 'lors' is very natural to me. I'm sure it is to many others too. But why do we add it in our normal speech. I guess we should practice not saying it...
I haven't finish studying my sciences. I'm so screwed. So so screwed...
Drus, Beryl and I went to cut our hairs today at my cousin's hairdressers. The shop is called Shunji Matsuo(advertise!). Look for Kathlyn, I think. Drus and Cheryl got her name card. Anyways we all kinda got good haircuts from my cousin(advertise again). We got our before and after pictures. HERE WE GO!!
Drusilla: She doesn't look any different to me really.. But she's very very in love with her new haircut, and my cousin.
Cheryl: Cheryl's new haircut looks so nice. Who'd have thought her hair would finally be nice? Looks nice cause my cousin waxed Cheryl's hair. Who knows how it'll look on monday...
Janice: My hairstyle looks the most different. I don't have a proper BEFORE picture. Sorry. My hair was washed before it was cut.
Our unglam or glam moments:
Don't you just hate it when the hairdresser pins up your hair in the most unfashionable way?
Cheryl most unglamorous candid shot. Close that mouth!
My hair before and after my cousin cut off my fringe and waxed it.
Drus and me. My hair is like astroboy.
CHERYL FINALLY LOOKS GOOD! Really must hand it to my cousin.
Who wants good haircuts? Let me introduce you to my cousin!!
PS. Cheryl is such a loser. She bought this...uh oh, I forgot what's it called... Some bouncy clay from Toys R Us. And she was showing me that is was bouncy, so she was bouncing it all over until it bounced into a ball of hair at my cousin's shop. Like omg... What's more, it's not her hair or drus hair or my hair, it was some stranger's hair. Seriously gross.
One of my more vague post. I'm probably going to cram all the major flaws of the World today. Including people too. Might be quite controversial... =|
First off, THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. Maybe I'm missing something here but how exactly do people pick the top billboard songs? Okay so you have people voting for the best song, but isn't that really opinionated? Not everyone likes that song or genre.... I mean I realized nowadays, the billboards are filled with very scandalous songs. And recently, Justin Timberlake's Future Sex album. But I don't like ANY of the billboard songs. So music charts and awards might be quite subjective.
I mean, if your rating by genre, it makes a hell lot more sense. But if you say that the best OVERALL song is soandso, I do wish to beg to differ. Nowadays Billboards seem to much prefer R&B, or scandalous songs, so for people who enjoy such genres, you'd think this is all rubbish.
You say it's popular because people like such stuff. But people CAN LIVE WITHOUT it if you didn't give them a chance to dwell on it.
Another thing is, the recent top songs are pretty bad influence. Then people go around asking why is the new generation of youngsters like that? We all know the media is exceptionally influential, and being youngsters, probably more of teenagers, we'd be trying to find who or what we really are. So things affect and effects us. Why do song artists or film producers show things that are bad? And yet, when they have children, they would want their children to be good? Here I'm talking about the more sane and less sadistic people. I remember reading a comment in youtube on the "Where is the Love" song MTV. The author said, "I hate this song. I love wars." It is disturbing to know that such people live among us. The new age Hitlers. -shudders-
Next, after learning about the education system in Singapore. Or maybe to be more specific, knowing more about independent schools, I feel that it's such a conspiracy. Let me explain...
We know Independent Schools can do practically anything they please with the School. That's what the conspiracy is.
Let me list down...
1. They can charge higher school fees. Wouldn't that make their school extremely rich? How can the non-independent schools catch up? Independent schools can charge $100++ while Autonomous only charge $20 odd. We don't even have to say how much the other schools charge to know that Independent schools are way above the rest. How do we catch up? It will be very difficult.
2. Independent schools can choose their own teachers. They most likely will produce better students than other schools. Hence, their school will keep ascending greatly leaving the rest behind. How do we catch up? How how?
3. Linked to the 2nd point. Better students = Better grades = Higher expectations which will circle back to the first thing which is EVEN BETTER STUDENTS. It's a big head start.
I feel like I'm missing out a point but I just had my maths and poa common test. I don't want to think.
Last thing, people... hypocrites are the pain. This is probably easier to connect to for most of us. You say others are mean, blunt and hurting to others. But you? You love to tease or mock others, sometimes not even considering how the person feels. But you loathe having people to do the same to you. Your probably nodding and thinking, "Yeah, soandso is always like that. So annoying". It's hard to see yourself. But you might actually be even worse than the person who you find fault with. All of us have more than wanted experiences of such cases. Like what I said in my other post, gossip about someone if you don't wish to be gossiped about. I believe in karma. If you don't want to be mocked, then please don't mock.
Another song to linked to the post: If Everyone Cared - Nickelback
Chorus: If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died
MATHS AND PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTS COMMON TEST! Can there be a worse combination?! My tuition teacher said it was so 'qiao'. QIAO MY ASS! It's on purpose!
Anyway because of the accrued stress, we went to the playground...
Cheryl trying to relive her childhood years
Don't fall!
Carol is enjoying herself. Don't swing yourself into the sky!
My sister gave me and Nikki a fortune cookie. Nik's fortune read that she will fall in love soon. Mine was complete senseless. Mine read,"If your boyfriend is jealous it means he cares for you".
Me: What is this suppose to mean?! Nikki: Uh oh! Janice has a boyfriend? Aiyoh lah! Me: I don't have a boyfriend! Nikki: The fortune cookie knows all...
It's nothing new to everyone including my Chinese teachers that my Chinese is atrocious. It's all because of my granny. I mean I was even reciting poems in my prayer when I was young.
Maybe this is familiar, maybe not:
This night when I lay down to sleep, I give to you my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray my LORD my soul thee take.
Cheem right?! I was saying that in my prayers when I was in Kindergarden! Ever since P4 I forgotten that prayer. But recently something jerked that memory hidden at the back of my mind. Now know why English is my domineering language? Geez!
Before I began I'd like to share a song I randomly Googled.
Song: Teacher I Need You Artist: Elton John
I was sitting in the classroom Trying to look intelligent In case the teacher looked at me She was long and she was lean She's a middle-aged dream And that lady means the whole world to me
It's a natural achievement Conquering my homework With her image pounding in my brain She's an inspiration For my graduation And she helps to keep the classroom sane
Oh teacher I need you like a little child You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild You give me education in the lovesick blues Help me get straight come out and say Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you
I BET HE NEVER HAD TEACHERS WE HAVE NOW. I MEAN ELTON JOHN, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!
*ahem* Oho, don't even let me get started with the thousand and one facts I dislike about teachers. But somethings deserve ermm...Let's keep it as recognition. Yeah, somethings deserve to be known to EVERYONE.
If memory serves me well, which I doubt so now, I didn't have a personal experience with a teacher being outright unreasonable. And I hope I never encounter something like that. Spare me please...
ANYWAY I'm not going to lay a finger(Hou laoshi struck me hard when I was typing this) on who I'm referring to as to not blemish their already horrid reputation. It's for me to know and you to find out. So GO FIGURE!
So anyways this is the period of Common Tests. But the way the school seems to react or set, the early releases, the no lessons besides the tests, the different teachers invigilating besides your respective teachers, so on and so forth... Everything just screams EXAMS. It's just a COMMON TEST. Sheesh! And it seems as if the teachers enjoy us to be in agony or stress-mode. And what's up with that damn contradiction of, "I DON'T WISH TO REMIND YOU, but your common tests....." Like no hard feelings there! We totally don't mind you repeating that blasted line 20 times over. That shows that teachers are mocking us. Rawr.
Moving on, so anyway we had Social Studies Test and our tables were arranged. Unfortunately for Denise, she got herself a very unstable table(Hah, Alliteration). Denise then switched her table with another one. I admit she kinda did it a little loudly which got the teacher's attention. I'd understand if the teacher scolded her for being noisy, but nope! She was scolded for switching tables. LIKE HELLO?! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE! There are more than 10 unused tables in class. And her table was shaking like no one's business. I mean pardon her for getting a less shaky and distracting table, I never knew the shakier the table, the higher marks you get! Which belief is that considered? Fengshui? Fortune-tellers? I wonder.
Fine, probably that was not SO BAD that I needed to get irate about, but read on and you'll understand why.
So our form teacher. Let's keep it as you-know-who. Which reminds me, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows the 7th book is coming out! -gets impatient- Okay so you-know-who, was telling her class that Maths CT will be on the 26th Of Feb, the following Monday. Apparently she had written it down on a piece of paper to remind herself no doubt... She even made sure everyone heard her clearly and jotted it down. So now everyone thinks that maths test is on Monday, despite the schedule saying that's on Friday. But if you want to go against you-know-who, you know what will happen to you.
So ANYWAY, everyone went around saying that you-know-who said the test is on Monday, and it reached the ears of Mrs Wong( I'm not insulting her so I might as well). So Mrs Wong went up to you-know-who and asked if it was true. DRAMA STORY ALERT!!-- Then you-know-who WAS FURIOUS! She scanned the class with eyes bigger and redder than the sun. Her anger crescendoed into maximum mode and her body swelled up. "When did I say maths test is on Monday?" She seethed. "You did! Last maths lesson!" The students beseech "No! I didn't! You were suppose to check your own schedule!" She fumed, her face quickly sweltering. "YOU DID! YOU TOLD US! SEE!" The poor student whimpers to show You-know-who her diary. "NO I DIDN'T! I don't even have the paper which says it!" --GASP! LETS STOP HERE AND CONSIDER FOR A MINUTE. Did we mention anything about paper? NOPE! Coincidence? I think not! Slip of the tongue more like it!!!!
Bottom line to the teachers, you think we are disrespectful, rebellious towards you. But you tell us, "Respect is 2 ways" or "It takes 2 hands to clap". We're obviously trying our best to respect or clap but people just don't take their own advice.
Well here's some tibits for YOUR SOUL: LISTEN TO YOUR OWN ADVICE. NO POINT ASKING PEOPLE TO DO THINGS YOU SAY WHEN YOU DON'T DO IT YOURSELF.
Thankfully school wasn't so heavy today. 3 Subjects, cell group without ms kok and no chinese enrichment! What more could I ask from this day? Then went to Bishan with Denden and Beryl had a good time eating at Sakae. Besides the fact that I saw smackist 1... My day would have been wonderful. BUT I THINK I'VE GOT TO GET OVER IT! Memory of my last year in PL is not going to filled with Bitches, pain-in-the-necks or childish annoyances.
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING. Mutual meaning: Having the same relationship each to the other. For example, Smackist 1 and Denden, that mutual understanding is apparent. And for me and *Joan is VERY VERY LUCID.
Maybe what I'm about to say now isn't correctly categorized into MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING, but let me continue...
People's actions and behavior can be read easily. Unless you have an IQ of 68 (Hah, yes, Charlie Gordon in the story 'Flowers for Algernon'. I've been studying too much Literature). Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to point out here is that you can tell how a person is feeling or why she's behaving like that, that's called reading a person. What I'm very pissed of about *Joan is that she's very very attention-seeking. And her behavior and reactions to different situations so get the response from others makes her seem EXTREMELY CHILDISH.
I think you would be of the same mind if you have experienced some of her childish etiquettes. If you haven't, let me list them down for you so you get a better picture on why I'm venting my anger.
-If none of this listed down are not childish, then I must have gotten the meaning wrong.
1. Public Speaking. I understand everyone's afraid of speaking in front of 40 people or more. But for her, she was speaking in front of less than 25 people. And all she is familiar with, or to be more precise, her own classmates for 1 year. Was it necessary for her to keep laughing because she was scared? I'd forgive if she laughed, and then admit that she cannot do it. BUT NO, she instead just stood at the front, took up EVERYONE'S time and laughed. Laughed for a good 10mins. And that's not the only time she did it.
2. Her laughter, sounds SUPER forced. More forced than someone laughing at the WORSE joke in an awkward social situation. And she can go on about it for 15mins or so. Making all her friends think that she's just full of laughing gas. IMO, she's full of BULLSHIT.
3. I really detest her. Probably even more than Smackist 1. But I don't go SHOWING IT. I resist the best I can. I listen to her talk(for about 5mins or so) during cellgroup without any sign of spite, all though mentally I wished I could scotch tape her lips tight. But nooo, no mutual understanding there, when I spoke for A FEW SECONDS, she JUST HAD to give that Crapped up Qian Bian face. Today at cellgroup was the FINAL STRAW. She had annoyed me one time too many.
4. Seriously *Joan. Cut the infuriating acting. You can tell if someone is trying to act smart or high and holy. Probably this 4th point is debatable. Last week in cellgroup I just said, "Do you all want to go or continue?" I SWEAR I ONLY SAID SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES ONCE. I was not the ONLY one who said it. Everyone else wanted to leave as well but *Joan (Omg at this point I'm already fuming and I feel like saying who she is so we all can hate her together), anyway this *Joan was asking questions NOT RELATED to the topic for cellgroup that day. And we all REALLY needed to leave cause we had Chinese Enrichment and we have not eaten lunch and the enrichment starts in 10mins. So everyone was practically begging to leave. BUT THAT BITCH, GOT ANGRY WITH ME AND TALKED BEHIND MY BACK?! WHAT A F.... (control Jan, control). As I was saying, she got angry with me because I wanted to leave and I only complained ONCE. As if being a pain wasn't enough for her. She had to bitch about me.
-Still at the same point but my paragraph is getting a little long- So she started to talk about me to Vanessa saying that I was rude and wanted to leave blah blah. And Vanessa was like, "No?" HAHAHAHA IN YOUR FACE, SUCKER! And her bitchness just gets better. Today I said COMPLAINED NOTHING ABOUT WANTING TO LEAVE. Enci on the other hand kept saying she wanted to leave. AND *JOAN WASN'T LEAST IRRITATED WITH HER. Whatever you immature fool. Saying I have not talked behind her back is a lie. I mean this post is already considered "talking behind her back". But this are true incidences. But what she said about me was really uncalled-for. You can ask people who went for last week's and today's class cell for proof.
Heard this song? (Face down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wade around forever you will surely drown I see what's going down. I see the way you go and say you're right again, say you're right again, heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this worlds got to end as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt she said, this doesn't hurt she said I've finally had enough!
One day she will tell you that she has had enough its coming round again.
(The song isn't that short, I only cut out the appropriate versus for this post)
This does not apply only to her. But to everyone including myself. Telling blatant lies about someone or accusing someone with absolutely no truth just because you hate her, HURTS. It really hurts a person. People say, "Everyone hates me. So I hate everyone else". Ever stop to consider why? Why you have so little friends or none at all. Be conscious of your own social behavior and etiquette then maybe you'll see the flaws of your actions. No one is perfect you say, but people can strive to be better than they already are. I thought over why *Joan talked behind my back many times. I have not done anything to offend her. I remember the first time she talked about me was because I was attracting more attention from Renaa, Charlotte and Veronica. They thought I was very funny. I try my best not to pull friends apart. I let *Joan partner Charlotte, I'd stand alone during assembly. I'd sit alone. I didn't cling on to someone. And she hated me for that? Nonsense.
Yes! A Holiday...MY ASS! Freaking shit, have to study for the common tests. And I have no idea what test there are on Thursday. SO SCREWED. Candice said Lit... I pray maths is on next monday cause my tutor is not coming till Saturday and I CANNOT do vectors properly.
Oh crap I forgot about POA... Someone fail with me please?
I so did not expect Sharon Seng to read my previous previous post. It was suppose to be a secret that Sharon cannot know about! That's what the psst is for! Speaking of Sharon, she is VERY amused about the "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" Bloopers.
I'm seriously bored but I wouldn't be if there wasn't any school tomorrow. And even less if there was no common tests. The mental restrictions caused by school... SUCKS MAN!
I've been like cooped up in my room the entire day listening to the radio stations in Itunes. And god! Is there like SO little nice songs?! I alternate between 4 stations out of the 1000 cause those are the only decent ones IMO. But the problem is, THEY PLAY THE SAME SONGS OVER AND OVER. Especially the song, "If Everyone Cared - Nickelback" or "Lips of an Angel" By I have no idea who. WHICH REMINDS ME, yesterday we played a game called, "Knowing me, knowing you". It's a question-answer game about your friends. I got this question: Suppose Janice can sing, what band would she most want to sing backup for? Everyone's answer was LINKIN PARK. My answer was Switchfoot.
1. I CAN SING (*ego) Shoot yourself if you shake your head. >:(
2. I don't REALLY like Linkin park. Too much screaming from Chester Bennington. But some of their songs are decent. 3. I much prefer bands with clean music. Clean lyrics and acoustics. Not too much overdriven electrics. (But I do like to learn the tricks of a professional electric guitar playing)
4. I have no idea why I chose Switchfoot. I bet you are like,"Huh? But soandso band is better and more of your type!" WELL MY APOLOGIES FOR NOT BEING A FAN OF BANDS. I PREFER SOLO ARTIST. LIKE CRAIG DAVID. I realized I probably should have chosen some old boyband... Lol I sound dumb.
Anyhow, my granny is grateful towards Cheryl and Drusilla for bringing over something. She kept pestering me to return them something. She was like grabbing random rubbish from the kitchen counter. (I rejected for their sake. Who knows how long have those items been there?)
Lunar New Year visitation days are over so quickly. I still can remember so clearly last Tuesday Denden and I planning for yesterday night's event. Which then lead to a game of charades within my guitar section.
LEADING ON TO MY GUITAR SECTION. My section(aka Guitar 3, aka Prime 3, aka Rhythm Section) is undoubtedly the BEST. Best people and best song parts. When I say best people, it only refers to the people who have been Guitar 3 for the past 2 years. Cause recently for this coming SYF we have these new-comers which I still am unable to accept that their in Guitar 3. They're like intruders to me. Blunt/mean/Rigid whatever. They were from Guitar 4 aka Bass section. And I did not like Guitar 4. Now they are in my section. I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. I still refer to them as Guitar 4 people. I think Denden agrees.
I feel like ranting. Excuse me.
THE SECTION 4 PEOPLE DON'T EVEN PRACTICE THE PART. Then the whole guitar 3 gets pulled down. And then I'll be affected cause I'm section leader. I still can remember when Mr Gaspar was testing every Guitar 3 member individually in front of the WHOLE guitar club. And the Guitar 4s ACTUALLY HAVE THE CHEEK TO ASK ME HOW TO PLAY THE PART?! I feel like slapping myself for actually teaching them at the last minute. Should just have let them get scolded. Not my fault. I went through the songs umpteen times with all of Guitar 3 and even made sure everyone got the chords right. Assholes.
URARGH!!! This can lead on to so many things I detest in Guitar Club. But I'm not going to jot them down and make it a memoir. NEVER. Oh yeah this is a must to remember: Denise Chia talked back to Smackist 1! Go Denden! Go Go Denden!
Okay I'm done blogging. Going to continue watching this lame channel 8, 9pm drama. The one trait of Drama which I hate: Coincidences. SUPER ANNOYING. Period.
2nd day of Chinese New Year!! This has got to be the best CNY in my 16 years.
Oh yeah, before I move on, I have DISTANT relatives that looks like Gold Fishes. Anyhow yeah, one of that side auntie, sounds like a DUCK. So annoyed with her voice...
Denden, Drus, Beryl and Carol came over today. Sharmila couldn't make it cause her father didn't allow her at the LAST MINUTE. Anyhow we had LOADS of fun!!
Pictures speak a thousand words....
Had Dinner at a really romantic restaurant: Friends. Dim lights, candle and music...
Wild Mushroom Soup.
My Order: Loin Beef, Medium-Rare
Cheryl & Denden's Order: Some Spaghetti...
Cheryl is clearly enjoying herself.
Bill totaled to $99.45. Look at the amount of cash.
Drus with sparkler.
Denden with Sparkler.
My star sparkler.
We were trying to do some heart shape with the sparklers but obviously it failed...
THE SPARKLING GANG! Sheesh...
Cheryl didn't dare to hold a sparkler. So she was standing at a corner or helping us take photos.
OKAY HERE IS THE RETARDED PART. Drus came up with an idea asking me to act scary and say, "Are you Afraid of the DARK?!" So it evolved into this little video...
THE SCRIPT: Janice: Are you afraid of the dark? -turns off lighter- Denden, Drus: No?! Janice: -turns on lighter- BOO! Denden, Drus: -Screams-
Here's the video!
During makings of something "GREAT". There sure will be some mistakes....
Blooper 1: Err...Drus? Wrong line!!
Blooper 2: Damn Lighter...
Blooper 3: HELLO DENISE?! NOT PAYING ATTENTION HUH?!
Lol this is an EXTRA video. One of those special videos you have in DVDs.
Had fun people? I got to wear my oh-so-marvelous outfit today.
I think this year was fun. Better than last at least, where I stoned at the corner of the living room.
The first house I visited was my Dua Gu(mother's oldest brother). My family was the 1st to arrive so I sat in the living room and watched CHINESE SHOWS. There was this show with a Caucasian speaking Chinese and he sounded gayer than mickey mouse. Then we had steamboat for lunch. My sister, Joy, was being a total ass. When the meal started, she repeatedly kept asking for De Gua (Pig's Liver). Scenario:
Everyone: Chi fan chi fan! (eat, eat) Joy: Wo yao de gua! (I want pig's liver) Cousins: Bang ni zhu le (Helped you cook it already) Joy: -starts digging up the liver and eating it- Wo hai yao! Fang duo yi dian! (I still want, put more) Cousins: Wo fang quan bu le (I put all of it in) Me: Jie, would you stop? Joy: -laughs and starts scooping up all the liver- Hai you mei you de gua?! (anymore liver?!) Me: JIE?! Joy: -chanting unconsciously- De gua, de gua, de gua, de gua...
Sigh... I really apologise that it is all in Chinese, cause my mom's side only speaks chinese.
Oh yeah I found out that my sister's favourite uncle is my Sa Gu (Mother's 3rd oldest brother). My Sa Gu is super SUA GU(idiot). He's the so called clown of my mother's side relatives and the most active. Can't say the same for his 2 daughters. Super anti-social.
Anyhows, I think I really need to make myself a family tree. I'm a Auntie of so many people and I didn't even know. HAHA! My cousin Jaime is younger than his nephew. So odd. This is the problem, my dad's side all had to come visit at my home as my granny stays with me. Then my cousin brought this girl that I've never met before in my entire life. When Nikki and I met her, we were about to say, "Wah! You have a girlfriend!" Then my cousin told us that that GIRL was our cousin. O_O" Help?
Oh we also had a mini talent show. My cousin Darren, learnt to play the electric guitar by himself. My family is so musically inclined. If you want to know him, go find him yourself, he is in Victoria Sec. 16 this year. Good luck! Anyhow, he performed the electric guitar, Nikki danced and I played Romance D'Amour on the classical guitar. Brendan(Darren's older brother), was to play the BAGPIPE. SUPER UNIQUE! LIKE LESS THAN 2% of the world can play the bagpipe. -Psst- Nikki and I plan on getting Brendan and Sharon together!! AHAHAHHA! They make such a good match! Both geniuses. It's like Isaac Newton and Einstein. Match made in heaven. Even their names sound the same!!!
Next case, we went to visit my granny's eldest sister's home. Then I saw this guy who looked SO FREAKING MUCH OLDER THAN ME. That I thought he was someone's husband, but then he was like, "I'm 14 years old". LIKE WHAT THE HECK?! You're kidding right? The irony of it all, he is my nephew.
Okay need to sleep and prepare for 2nd day of visitations. I've collected $XXX so far! AHA!
Man I would have enjoyed Steamboat better. But we had a normal dinner with rice and dishes. Anyway I helped my mom prepare the food! HOW NICE! I'm such a filial daughter. We had abalone, Shark's Fin soup, Fish, Mixed Veggies and Chicken. I didn't like the chicken. It looked and tasted weird.
Anyway after dinner my sister (Joy), Nikki and I sat in the living room and watched "Something's Gotta Give". AWKWARD SHOW PLOX! Like old people making out, having sex and whatsoever! Then you have scenes with Keanu Reeves being so intimate with an OLD lady. Like my granny's age. Disturbing. Not being able to continue watching, my sister asked if we wanted to go out, so yeah okay we prepared to go out. My dad fetched us to Sengkang so my sister could change. But while we were at Sengkang waiting for my sister, she told us that her Boyfriend Kevin, called. Saying that he was coming and was already on his way. When my sister heard it she was...err...shocked? Angry? Disappointed? HAPPY?! I have no idea. So we couldn't go out.
I have a FREAKING scandalous family. So we were watching "Somethings gotta give" with the elderly making out. Then my family starts this disconcerting conversation.. Note: My granny keeps telling us to marry a rich old man with a weak heart. So after the marriage, you give him a big scare, kill him and inherit all his assets....
Conversation 1: Granny: Kevin(Joy's bf) put on weight huh? Joy: No lah. Why you ask? Nikki: Ahmah's checking him out.
Conversation 2: Granny: See! -points at TV- You should marry a rich old man with a weak heart. Nikki, Joy, Me: -stares distastefully- Nikki: So scandalous lah, Ahmah! Joy: How about your New Zealand boyfriend? Does he still come visit you? Me: He wouldn't need to VISIT if Ahmah married him instead of a Singaporean. Ahmah: Ya lah. Stupid. Now your papa so disobedient. Me: Because you chose the Asian! Nikki: Still dating after your married ah? Ahmah, Aiyoh lah! Joy: When is he coming? I'll take him out to lunch. Alone. Ahmah: Okay. Joy: Alone! Meaning without you. Nikki: Joy's going to find out why you didn't marry him.
Conversation 3: Granny: Are you sure about Kevin? So many boyfriends... Nikki: Scandalous lah! Joy: Because Ahmah is scandalous. I got her genes. If she wasn't I might not be like this. Me: -Hoping I didn't get that particular gene-
I'm actually excited to wear my outfit tomorrow. That damn Sharmila messaged me and told me she still couldn't believe that I'm wearing a skirt. Idiot.
Okay monday event people, Drus, Shar, Den, Beryl, Carol better not back out. I'm warning you. My sis brought this game called "knowing you knowing me". The game where the fun is finding out about your friends! In the game, a person would be asked a question. For example: What would be ____'s dream job? You basically put the person's name in the blank. Like for example Cheryl. So the question would be: What would be Cheryl's dream job? I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE. So all the game players would write their answers on a piece of paper. And if the answer matches Cheryl's answer, you win a point. Hmmm... My answer would be TAITAI.
So the plan for monday would be games and more games! Of course dinner and supper. NOT FORGETTING SPARKLERS! Drus is getting the drink sparkling juice or something cause we're playing sparklers. Wth?
I'm blogging while eating Bak Gua. My parents got this minced one. So my sister was commenting that the maker is very smart. Cause if you eat minced bak gua, you wouldn't know that you might actually be eating more than 1 huge piece. Also the flavouring and barbecuing really hides the actual taste of the pig so the eater would not know what part of the pig is it. Sigh... So demoralizing...
First post on my new blog. I'm sorry I switched but it felt odd writing all my personal experiences and stuff on the Quadrops blog cause it's shared by 4 people.
Yes I know my URL is hard to remember. "Whoaa Cheemology" But it's the best word that will fit my blog. Ha... -just trying to sound intelligent- -.-"
I'll blog more often and about more things in this blog. I'll still be at Quadrops everyonce in awhile to blog about games or Quadrops experiences but here it's more of MY experience. Never thought I would create a blog for myself but since I heard that people enjoy reading my posts then I shall....
ANYWAY PEOPLE OF ALL SIZE AND AGES! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! TODAY IS TUAN YUAN FAN! HAPPY EATING! Especially to Cheryl -hint hint-. Actually it's okay to eat and enjoy yourself during the New Year. Always telling yourself that your fat and whatsoever really spoils the mood. Eat drink and be merry! My granny always told me that. Enjoy the new year, don't kill the joy because you put "loose weight" as your first priority.
Okay I'm starved, I haven't eaten anything and I talk about CNY food. Just trying to tempt myself, and it's OBVIOUSLY WORKING! Okay so forgive me as I really want to go savage my kitchen in search of something to eat.
Ps. I love shopping with Drusilla even if she is a total "face-thrower".
