Heh heh the post title should sound extremely familiar to you animefans! Not telling where it came from. But joyce... you'd definitely know. =)
Waiting for Sharon to come home with my foldable fan from China. I hope she gets a nice cool-looking one for me. SHE SHOULD BE BACK BY NOW... 5 Days from Sunday... it's today what!!!! Sheesh. Sharon.... >.<
Had a 1 hour talk with Mdm Wong after consultation with her. Found out things I think I should not know. And things that were just unbelievable like she was the president of dance in JC. Omfg... Obviously I burst out laughing AT her. The things she do...it's rather unexpected of her. Like Yoga. O.o Found out her other lifestory as well such as her very impulsive, risk-taking job hunt for the perfect job. She ended up with being a teacher... HMMMMMMMMM....
My english comprehension sucks really bad. Mdm Wong and I figured it's because I tend to read it as a whole and not zoom in to sentence by sentence understanding. Whatever. Oh I found out that EVERYONE in my class got an A2 for O level English. Wow... The entire school expects us to do well especially in GP because of the subject combi we take. Lit, History and Econs. We're suppose to have much content and general knowledge, and also be extremely sensitive to words. But it seems like we're under-performing.
Went to NTUC again cause it was raining and I was pissed off. I know these doesn't link to why I should go to NTUC, sounds stupid yes. My body was close to auto-pilot. Whatever I felt like eating I just threw it into the basket... Hardly thinking. I can't say I was entirely on auto-pilot cause I did prevent myself from buying other things.... The cash card makes me feel powerful in NTUC. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I swear, the food in my room from NTUC is just gonna accumulate till my parents get angry and find a need to clear them off cause it's taking up too much space. When my friends come over to my house, they take a look at my shelve and then will all go, "Oh my God... What's with all the canned food and snacks?!" I just won't freaking eat it. OKAY?! Wait for June... It'll definitely clear by then.
I'm so darn brillant. Last night I plugged my phone to charge, but conveniently forgot to on the switch. It was so low on batt it switched off in the middle of the night. AMAZINGLY STUPID. It turned off at 5:26am cause when I finally got it back on, that's the time it showed. So I went to school with a 2 bars phone battery. Eh please ah... My phone has like 8+ bars to indicate the strength of the battery. SO 2 BARS IS PRACTICALLY NO BATT AT ALL. Damned genius you know.
Stupid Shar... No idea what diet she's on when she wants to eat Mac and Cheese. Like hullo? Maybe she's on some SEE-FOOD diet. mmm.
I just realized I have lots of scratches on my leg. My dogs nails are a killer. Like some freaking werewolf's. Don't know where they sharpen it. They can like etch a drawing on my knee with those claws. -shudders-
Talking to Mdm Wong is just tough. In real life face-to-face conversations, when she says something which catches me totally off guard, I'd just stare and stammer. On sms-es though. HAH! It's just a plain battle of wits.
Conversation: Me: Help me find out asap please, m'am! Mdm Wong: Okay auntie, I'll find out for you... Me: Omg, that just screams irony. Just help me find out ASAP! Mdm Wong: ok ok... you've just shown me how auntie you can be. Again! Lol. Me: -stares at sms for a very long while. Thinking of reply while buying subway- OH, of course you'd know best about aunties right? Heh. Mdm Wong: :-) You win
Apparently, I can get her quite worried. HAHAHAHAHA!!! -sms- Me: Consultation signed. Friday slot. Mdm Wong: Isn't friday out? Me: What? No? -Panically calls right after i sent the sms- Mdm Wong: I thought I cancelled?! Me: Huh no? I thought I wrote Friday. -conversation on this goes on for 5 mins-
10mins later sms: Mdm Wong: My dear. I just went back to see the schedule. It's thurs you've booked lah.. I've blocked out friday already. :-) Me: WHAT?! You went back to check?! Okay now I feel so guilty Mdm Wong:What have I done to get such 'wonderful' kids? Lol. Me: Past life duties equivalent to mother teresa.
Oh yeah I'm performing for my secondary school's guitar concert. Alumni. If you all want to come do tell me. 20th June, 730pm at Paya Lebar Methodist Girl's School Secondary. SJI and St.Gabs are performing too. Tickets are $10. Free seating. I tried my luck to ask Mdm Wong:
Me: -lists details to Mdm Wong- Mdm Wong: :-) you've stuck the right cord with this... Yes I'll be there Me: -dumbfounded- Yayness! So are you coming with someone? Oh I do expect a flower. Mdm Wong: Alone. Don't worry. Will bring a flower and wait besottedly at some corner. *winks* Me: Thank you very much. I'll keep a look out for you and my flower! I'll give you the tickets by thurs. Mdm Wong: :-)
Met Bry(guy in white) at SGCC today with his bro(guy in orange). So damn funny. They played bowling. Bry's a pro. 3 strikes consecutively... wtf. But he started to detoriate. He uses 10kg ball cause the lighter ones can't fit his thumb. So when he started losing, he decided to use the lightest ball. The orange ball weighing 7kg at SGCC is Bry's wildcard ball. And omfg... he made the ball spin from the right of the lane all the way to the left. His bro and I laughed our heads off. "Omg it spinned!"
Bry was like "Whoa... I'm sot liao. Managed to spin the ball. Don't care if I lose now. The most tyco shot ever. You can go to school and tell your friends you saw the most tyco shot."
Come for my concert! Currently 4 confirmed friends and counting....
Warning: Please watch with discretion. It's a horror game video clip. So expect ghosts and other whatnots.
The ritual is when one twin kills the other. I think that should already speak volumes. If I had a twin sister and played this game, I wouldn't know what to say to my twin anymore.
I didn't watch the whole thing, finding an appropriate video clip freaked me out already. If one day, while in school I look like I haven't been sleeping, it's because my CLOSEST friends have forced me to play the game. I know, screams irony.
Why don't people love pig liver? It's so awesome. Stupid sharmila... I'll trick you into eating it one day. I'd say it's squid then you pop it into your mouth and I'd jump for joy. Wait... why the hell did I just tell you my plan
I survived the last week of school. Was SO FREAKING CLOSE TO GETTING A MC CAUSE I WAS TOO LETHARGIC. I deserve a honours for this. Shall reward myself with a huge shopping spree during Great Singapore Sale.
So practically our whole day activity was getting scolded. During econs, the FIRST period we got scolded... then when we start to get over it, the LAST period: Lit, we get scolded again. Mmmm... =D
You sometimes have to really wonder how Mdm Wong gets all her sarcastic remarks and weird comments from... O.o Mdm Wong being "philosophical" : In HATING life, is when you learn to LOVE it.
Then... I couldn't help but shoot one back at her: Wong: Clara, where's your bag? Us: With the guys Me: We hope. -grins- Wong: -to clara- Is she your friend? With friends like these, who needs enemies?(HEH! THIS coming from HER?!! We have to wonder who she is REALLY referring to here.) Me: But... didn't you know? Your most dangerous enemies are your safest friends.
Hanged out with the guys again with Joyce and Sharon. Basically the guys who went were Bryan, Mark and Abel. We went shopping. The guys got some clothes, like jeans and shirts. HAHAHAHA! Got me in a rather splurging mood. But I resisted! So did Joyce. Well done. Sharon was the only one indifferent to the situation.
Me: Man I'm going to resist. Not buying. -Takes deep breath- Joyce: Hmm, I shall resist too. Me: Yes Joyce, if you buy anything, my resistance will crack and I'll buy too.
Anyhows...
CONVERSATION OF THE DAY:
Joyce: It cose $19... Sharon: You only have $15 Joyce: -pitifully- I have some coins...
I could have sworn I felt like a really sad Joyce about to cry. My heart went out to her. Mmhmm, *sniffles. Sharon: Joyce... are you okay? Me: Oh my god... Joyce... We can lend you money you know Sharon: Yeah you can borrow some Me: Don't have to sound so pitiful and pathetic.
Hmm... Come to think of it, Joyce wasn't normal AT ALL. She must have snapped somewhere. Usually Joyce is EMOTIONLESS no matter what. Only SLIGHT emotions shown at times when something big happens. So Sharon and I were perplexed when suddenly while walking to the MRT.... Joyce: Sharon has to go now? Me: Yeah. Joyce: -Grins very widely- Me: What was that for? Joyce: I'm a happy person. Sharon, Me: O.O
Joyce, if you are suffering or have any problems please do talk to us. We'll always be here for you. Don't stall, please call.
GOSH! I slept for like 15hrs. From 2am to 4pm. Like wtf. Horrible. I'm becoming like Meena. Not good. -Sorry dear-
Anyhow, my parents have gone for a holiday and I have officially taken over their room! Their room has everything my room has... computer, television (but theirs is smaller...-.-), telephone(but I have my own room number and they don't...) and a big bed. Yeah yeah I'm a spoilt kid. I just brought my xbox over and set it up in their room, along with my own pillows, boaster and blanket. THEN TAAADAAAAHHHH!!! I stood at the door, raised my hands and said, "I PROCLAIM THIS ROOM, MINE!!!"
I probably would have sprinkled olive water, set up candles, put herbs around, chanted, danced and do my own little purifying ritual but I'm too lazy to.
Hahahahaa I had difficulty deciding where I'd like to sleep on their bed cause it was much bigger than mine. I had double of everything. Blankets, boasters and pillows.
Hah, such simple joys and pleasures in life.
I am supposed to do my homework today... but I have no idea what homework I've got besides GP. Lazy~
Err well... The chinese test was horrible. I obviously lost 4 marks cause the teacher said one answer that I never heard of.
WE SCARED MDM ROBYN WONG TODAY! Is there anyway to make that more eye-catching?
Anyhow, yeah she gave her a real big shock that she screamed. Yep she SCREAMED.
Weijie devised the plan. We turned off all the lights in the LT during GP. The people involved were: Weijie (Mastermind) Me (Decoy) Clara (Trickster) Leonard (Spectator) (Only the 4 of us knew of the plan and were there while this happened. The rest of the class where somewhere else...)
The plan was basically to give her a shock. But how we carried it out was totally impromptu.
Scene: WJ: Let's scare Robyn by giving her a shock.-turns off lights- Me: Cool, I wanna join. Clara: I'm going to the toilet. Leonard: -sits down and spectates- -Clara walks out of LT and passes Mdm Wong- Mdm Wong: Is anyone inside? Clara: Err...No I don't think so. Mdm Wong: You just came out of there, did you see anyone? Clara: No -Mdm Wong walks nearer to LT door- WJ: -chuckles- Me: -Giggles and peeps out of door- -Mdm Wong spots me and stares at me. I smile- WJ: RARGH!!! Mdm Wong: AAAHHHHHH!!! WJ, Leonard, Me: -Bursts out laughing uncontrollably- Mdm Wong: -At the LT door covering her mouth and laughing very hard-
THEN MDM WONG DOESN'T ADMIT THAT SHE SCREAMED.... Mdm Wong: Leonard, next time try not to scream so loudly okay? Leonard: Yeah yeah... WJ, Clara, Me: -Laughs-
That was totally funny and stress relieving. Haaaa....
Met up with Joyce today. She came over to my house then we went to eat at chomp chomp. While walking down to chompchomp, we ALMOST walked over this dead flattened bird. GAHAWEITGHAWGPJ!!!! The imaged is scarred in my brain. Thank god Joyce spotted it. She thought it was a leaf and wanted to step on it and hear a -crush- noise. I thought it was a leaf too. If it were me walking where Joyce were, I'd kick the bird and then wonder why the noise is -flip- and not -whoosh-.
Man I'm so touched. HAhahaha! I had GP comprehension test in the lecture theatre today. And as usual I was coughing away due to my horrible dry throat. Then Mdm Wong looked up from the desk in front and started a hand signal conversation with me.
Mdm Wong: Are you okay? Me: I need water... Mdm Wong: Where's your bottle? Me: No water inside. ( I obviously didn't signal properly... so...) Mdm Wong: Take your water bottle (Lifts her bottle and points) Me: EMPTY (Again, signal not clear enough) Mdm Wong: You threw it away? Me: No, I have no water in it! Mdm Wong: Hand me your bottle and I'll pour some of mine into yours. Me: No thanks it's okay.
Then we stop communicating and I go back to do my paper. Then suddenly Mdm Wong walks out of the Lecture hall. Then she returns with this water bottle which was bought from the cafe. I was like "WHAT?!" She walked in front of me and opened the bottle with outmost care...
(SPOKEN CONVERSATION) Me: Oh my god! Are you serious?! Mdm Wong: -Stares- Me: GOD! You didn't have to! Mdm Wong: Just drink it!
Yeah... sniff sniff. I'm touched. After the test I said, "Thanks Mdm Wong, I'll kowtow to you" -Bows- Mdm Wong: -Gives Strange stare-
Meena thinks I'm out of character when I'm sick. She thinks I'm much nicer and sweeter. So her theory is the sicker I am, the sweeter I become. That's not true... Is it? O.o On the bus home: Meena: Janice are you really okay? Me: Yeah why? Meena: Can you return to your bitchy self? I miss you being bitchy. Me: I'm not bitchy...
Wow... I sometimes love being sick cause I can just sleep my time away. Slept from 3pm -8pm then woke up and ate dinner. Macaroni in soup and vegetables. So freaking bland. Then continued my sleep from 11pm-11am. AHAHAHAHAHAH!
Anyway... GOD! People! Stop forcing water down my body. "Drink more water" "You need more liquids" "Get some water" "You want water?" "You must drink some water"
LIKE OKAY! I have been drinking like gallons of water. That I have to go to the toilet every half and hour, and it's not very fun! I woke up from my sleep like 5 times to use the effing toilet. Tsk. But my voice is back. Kinda. It doesn't feel like I'm sawing my throat when I talk. I guess that's an improvement. But I feel all groggy and drowsy cause of the medicine.
By the way, I totally forgot to blog about this yesterday. While I was taking the bus home from school, I was clearing my throat and coughing, but I didn't do it often though. Only when I couldn't help it... You know a REFLEX ACTION. Anyhow, this guy came who sat in front of me, wore a shirt that went "MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY". But when I saw his face... GOD!!! THE IRONY! That guy looks like a war veteran. The kind that carries a machete.
Yeah but that guy didn't look caucasian, he looked like those construction workers. And had more hair, less muscular. "MAKE SOMEONE SMILE TODAY" I doubt I can, can you? Whatever I need to eat and get back to sleep.
Early leave!!! Hahahahahah. My voice sounds so gross right now. I feel like putting a sharp object into my throat to scratch. Horrid. My nose won't clear. Doesn't help blowing out or sniffing in. HEHHEHEHEHEH.
HODs ah.... I'm already like 3/4 on my way to collapsing from coughing my brains out the entire day and he goes "Why no resilience?"
Like what? You want me to be sprawled on the floor coughing out blood and going unconscious before they go, "I think you should go home".
My medicine says 'May cause drowiness'. There's no difference for me. The panadol fast relief uses 'NON DROWSY FORMULA'. But I still get sleepy and zoned out after taking it. -.- Just spent like 2 minutes staring at the computer cause I completely zoned out about what I wanted to type.
People look at this:
Now Shar, if you want it to be removed, you gotta bow to the ground and kiss my feet. Then I'll consider removing this.
Uh... I can feel my brain shutting down. So just to prevent my mindless body from doing anything stupid, I'm off to bed. Byebye.
I'm gonna take a stab in the dark using econs terms and concepts to explain why the price for Wii will not be affected by the decreased prices of the PS3 and the XBOX 360
Here goes.
Recent decrease in the prices of 2 seventh generation consoles, the Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360, will not have a major effect on the price of Nintendo's Wii. If Nintendo does not bring the price of its Wii down, there would not be a huge drop in demand for it. Factors discussed are mainly taste and preferences and advertising.
Taste and preference plays a very important factor for the demand for Wii. The games that come bundled or complemented with Wii differ much from the ones which complements Ps3 and Xbox360. The gameplay and game types for Wii are more relaxing and easy-going. They are usually directed to families and parties, unlike its counterparts where its games are very action-packed and mainly focus on single-player options. Nintendo has already very much differentiated its product from its rivals in the market. Hence, the market demand for the Wii will not be affected by it's rivals from Sony and Microsoft. The cross elasticity for demand for the Wii will be price inelastic(XED<1). Therefore, a decrease in the price of PS3 or Xbox360 will lead to a less than proportionate change in the demand for Wii.
Advertisting plays the other major role of differentiating a product. It has aggressive advertising in the console market like it's other 2 rivals. But, Nintendo has successfully managed to make the Ps3 and Xbox360 seen has weak substitutes through advertising and carefully chosen complements. It is not rare to find games that are only playable on the Wii. Also, the Wii itself already has a different gameplay concept from its rivals. Partially virtual-reality, it is a feature that the other 2 products do not have. This already differentiates the product. Therefore, a drop in the price of Ps3 or Xbox360 will lead to a very small decrease or none at all for the demand for Wii.
Therefore, Nintendo's Wii price is not falling as quickly as PS3 or Xbox360 due to these reasons.
There's only one word to describe me from this blog post: GEEK.
I wish the econs essay test would be about this...
DAMN IT -I'm not gonna state what school I'm referring to. Just in case someone who absolutely LOVES my school and sees this, I'll be damned-
I don't see why I have to be strapped down to a cca I obviously don't like. I mean, going only twice since CCA officially started should speak for itself. Like why would I skip a cca that I enjoy? But teachers fail to see that. I mean, golly, it'll be too exhausting for teachers to just take your name from one cca list and put into another. Too time consuming. "I'd rather save myself some time to watch the English Premier League, and let the students suffer." I'm not demanding for it to be done in ONE day. By heaven's name, you can have the entire month.
It seems that the requirements to teach PE in JC is : -Having a degree that requires you to be able to exercise and memorize stuff. -Been in the army or Singapore Sports Team -Any other achievements is a plus point
I would suppose that good command of English is a very debateable requisite. Hold on for awhile, I'm not saying EVERY PE teacher is like that. I've met knowlegeable ones that can speak proper English. But one just totally stepped all over my nerves.
I tried explaining why I would very much prefer a change in cca, and all he could reply me was, "Just try". This is a HOD by the way. Please note. -Neon lighted arrows------>>>>HOD.
Me: I don't enjoy the cca Him: Just try.(Dude, I have tried, hence I've concluded that I don't enjoy it)
Me: I can't cope with this cca. Him: Just try.(Err...Yeah. I did.)
Me: I prefer another cca. Him: Just try.(*Ahem)
Me: It'll be too strainuous next year. Him: Just try. (Hello?)
Apparently, Nike's logo of JUST DO IT, is too drilled into him. Dear me, it's either he's being too modest about his knowledge of the English vocab or he has no knowledge at all. Like hello? How about words like YOU, ME? Aww come on, I bet you know them. Don't have to be so shy about it! If this was the depth of English that I'm suppose to converse with, I'll be better off talking to dogs and goldfishes. At least I wouldn't hear the same thing repeated 10 times. I would have mouth with him "Just Try" if I felt like it. I'm so fucking pissed off not because he doesn't let me change, it's because he practically didn't say anything else.
Why the fuck can't I change cca? Who would it benefit if I stayed? I doubt I will. Don't give me the rubbish "how would you know?". Like duh, I'd know myself a thousand times better than you do. If I enjoy doing something, I'd give my 200% for that cca. If I hate it, don't even expect a 0.1% effort. It's taste and preferences. But whoops, I guess economic terms are so out of their league. It's not THE EASIER ROUTE, it's the MORE BENEFICIAL ROUTE.
Please, just please. Give me a success story about a person who DIDN'T DO WELL in A levels, HATED his cca, but STAYED ON, and now is a famous and rich man. Wait, I only want normal, sane people here. Inject sulphuric acid into my brain then I'd be in the perfect state of mind to stay in my current hated cca. If you find such a person, then I'll sit down and seriously contemplate. Why don't we hear about such people? Well... maybe because they're either retards/stupid/insane or non-existant. You decide.
Now, people who loved their cca and became famous aren't rare. Doesn't our school have an alumni like that? Let's make it clear that SHE LOVED HER CCA.
Don't blame us for not showing up for cca. We would happily, sing-song mood, go for our cca if we enjoyed it.
BOTTOM LINE: Sorli if euu no noe wad i sae in miie story. I dun wan 2 go 4 cca miie dun lyke. Plox let miie change. Den i b veri happie.
Wow, it's difficult to translate proper english to that. But for the sake of the lesser, there.
GOD! It's already sunday. Just when I started to enjoy the 4 days weekend. I still remember how I looked forward to the 4 days of school-freedom last week like it was yesterday. Literally. Haven't even finished my rice crackers and peanuts. Ugh Next holiday would be on the 19th of May: Vesak Day. Then, YES!!! JUNE HOLIDAYS. But oh-wonderful JC has to kill the mood with Mid-year exams right after the holidays. If it was socially acceptable, I'd be chanting the word fuck while walking around my house. Every holiday counts! So long as there's a holiday, I'd rejoice. Even if it was for ONE DAY
The musical yesterday...how shall I put it... umm, Thank God it was only $5? That should say it all. Only the dance was redeeming. No wonder they got a gold with honours. -applauds Went to watch Nim's island with Shar yesterday. It was hilarious. Jodie Foster was so darn funny. Left Plaza Singapura at like 11:30pm. I was so scared I'd miss the last bus. Pictured myself standing alone at the bus stop at night with this huge dustball rolling past
Just staring at the clock every once in awhile to count down to my inevitable week of doom once again. I hate sundays. Can't enjoy it fully cause you have stupid school at the back of your head for the next day.
I was about to end off but something happened. My room is situated at the right side of my house, where there's this long garden with a long drain. My friends always walk to that garden and poke their heads into my room to get me to open the door for them. So now, my mum decides to walk to that garden with a long drain to summon me for dinner. Then she tripped and almost fell into the drain. She got all pissed off at me because of that. Like what? What did I do? I was just innocently sitting at my desk blogging.
Less than 12 hrs to school. Hurray.....................................................................................................
Stupid blogger is screwing up my paragraphings with some bullshit HTML code. As if having life throw you a lemon was not enough, they had to throw acorn nuts. What am I suppose to do with that huh?!
