And if the dad's abusing her, he'll never say yes.

Never is just reven spelled backwards.

I don't think I've ever seen my hamsters digging their noses.

Ahh, exam stress, exam stress!

Rawr. 

I like the hong kong accent. 

Ange: Todaye dark cloudseh, many many! 
Me: Don't touche mai ass, i slaph yaw face. 

HAHAHAHAH.

We are the weirdos,
who say hi by waving frantically with our hands way too near our faces
and poking each others cheeks with our tongues trying to touch each other fingers. 
If you ask, we will demo.
HAHAHAHA.
I kid. 

I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand - 



Thirty-seven

Are you alright?
All the sudden you went away.
Are you alright?
I hope you come back around someday.
Are you alright?
I haven't seen you in a real long time.
Are you alright?
Could you give me some kind of sign.
Are you alright?
I looked around me and you were gone.
Are you alright?
I feel like there must be something wrong.
Are you alright?
'Cause it seems like you disappeared.
Are you alright?
'Cause I been feeling a little scared.
Are you alright?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug and kiss you,
Hug and kiss you,Hug and kiss you?
Are you alright?

aiyo floo too the max. just keep sneezing and sneezing. now dont you forget to moisturise, ms lee. argh. okay. gonna study late today. slept a lot today. cos i signed out at 1030. just couldnt take sneezing and sniffing throughout lessons. weighed the pros and cons about leaving school. pros totally owned cons.

pros: math - alrd finished corelation tutorial, dont need much help, yet. hist - no lesson? and i get to go home and rest, till i get better for tmr.  cons: physics.

old picture.
I think we all look different except for me.
Is that a bad thing?
Hmm.
Something to think about.
We should really have another sleepover(:


We have all resolved to start saving money,
so that when we're rich
we'll go to paperchase and buy the whole store.
:DDD
So from tomorrow onwards,
We're bring our own food to school
in lunchboxes
be nerds,
and eat under a tree.
(Like what David Marshall did when he wasn't given an office)
Ahh history.
(:

Ps.
I Appeal to my fellow classmates. I would appreciate it if my hair wouldn't be messed up by you in between lessons,
no matter how easy it is for my hair to return to it's original state.
It is still very traumatizing
When all my hair is pinned on the top of my head,
or when you brilliantly part my hair in the center.
Thank you very much.

Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMIO & WEIFENG!



(Hahaha no armpit hair)

--------------------

Yesterday, I met Leonard and Bernard at ikea.
The end.

the world's fastest swimmer has just gotten his 8th gold.
my hero. 
:D

so tonight was 100% Praise and Worship. it was good. and along the way i realized a few things. like how i'd still been hiding from God. and how i wasn't really depressed. it was more of despair, ie lack of meaning vs lack of hope. and so yeah, life can be pretty awful when there's no hope of anything good ever happening in your life. explains the need for self-vindication through a highly active social life and having lots of "friends". explains the need for people who care, to show that they care. (well i mean, everyone needs people who care, just that we don't ask them to throw themselves into burning buildings every other day. okay lousy analogy.) so yeah, the diagnosis was despair and the cure was a good life-saving dose of God. amazing how quickly everything makes sense once you look at everything with God's light. (cynics might call it a strange myopic form of optimism, where no matter how bad things get it's still good, but they're obviously missing the point. it's not so much what happens, but how people respond to what happen.) and how everything can seem to get better all at the same time. anyway! last learning point for the day, couched in vague cryptic terms: i couldn't find her out there, because i'd already found her.

have a good night everybody! it's the start of another beautiful day.

What I love most about the Olympics isn't the action, its that moment of victory.
Of course, the action's all very exciting, but that moment of triumph is so much more than that.
It represents years of hard work and sacrifice, all accumulated in that single moment.
You can see the mixture of emotions that just plays across the guy's face.
The realisation that gives way into shock, the tears and the whole face just infused with joy.
Its so touching to watch and it just makes me want to celebrate along with him/her.

PS : Did anyone watch Phelps in his butterfly finals?
That had to be the most exciting race ever. Winning by the closest margin possible. 0.01 seconds.
Ownage.

And for the first time ever in 48 years, Singapore is finally guaranteed at least a silver medal.

sigh. using my sister's laptop to post, cos i turned off my laptop just now, to avoid being hooked, but oh well, sister's lappy was on. so here i am. ANYWAY.................................

tuition day today. econs and physics, yeah new tutor. kinda ex. like 90 a session. omg these people are friggin rich. only confirmed his lesson last night at 10 plus -.- daddy wanted me to start right away, given that i only have 2-3 months left to As. sigh. tired siol. but i guess he's pretty good lah.

I WANT TO SAY.... theres this very selfish girl! it was raining, so i had to run to the tuition centre from bugis junction right.. so when i crossed one side of the t-junction, i saw a tuition classmate there. we arent chummy or anything. andwe dont talk. but still you know what, she had to tilt her brolly one side to pretend to not see me. FINE. i mean like, i would have no qualms offerring to share my brolly with someone, including complete strangers who look nice (and safe?). lol. so then after class i was commenting to sarah how our tuition mate snubbed me, saying it was the girl sitting behind us, bla bla. then then then she shot me that "oh for goodness sake shut up" look. and i turned around, and saw another girl who sat behind us, who sat with selfish girl in class behind us during lesson today. omg. then i remember OH MY $%^&*U(*#$@ she was at the junction too! not that i directed my insults to her, but i kinda felt bad she had to hear what i said. i was lamenting QUITE loudly.

damnnnnnn. bad day. i have really have a knack in embarrassing myself,  do i?

i remember, on friday, me and lianz went to do big business, in the cubicled toilets. so then after shitting i was like holy *^&*((^%$# the flush is stuck." so after a lot of whining, i put the lid down on the toilet bowl, and went out. then while washing hands, a girl walked in, i stared at nglian through the mirror. gave her the "uhoh-she's entering the smelly loo. should we tell her?" look. then the door was locked. lian gave a uh-oh look. then xy, lian, me rannnnn all the way back to the canteen guffawing. tsk tsk tsk. bad girls.

omg for a minute i thought my mp3 died.
gave me a beeeeg scare. ):
anyway i'm actually thinking of getting the 80gb ipod.
aiyah see how everything goes.
my phone is spoilt and i'm using a spare now.
wanted to send it for repair ytd but the queue is so freaking long. 
argh life's been horrible for me. ):

okay on a random note: i'm eating some awesome seaweed now. hahaha! (:
and watching fated to love you. my ethan ruan! <33
btw sacrificed my precious sleep time to watch phelps win his 7th gold medal.
super eggciting swim man. (:

okay back to watching my shows.
later then.

This week's been unbelievably draining.
Majority of my papers were all squeezed into the first week and then for the next 2 weeks its quite spaced out with long breaks in between.
And why the school would want to put 2 heavy content papers on the same day is beyond me.
Kept getting this recurring headache that would only go away when I slept. It wasn't bad enough to cause too much distress, just a dull throbbing that I got used to after awhile.

So,  GP was hmm hard to tell because I think I wrote out of point but I hope I didn't. Then again, its likely that I did and I refuse to analyse this anymore so there. Compre was quite challenging I thought, POLITICS wth ! and stupid vocab mistakes but either than that was okay.

Econs was surprisingly do-able , though thanks to oversight I managed to lose quite a few marks already. Don't know why i tend to lose my rationality in the exam hall and miraculously regain it after. Ahhh, how did I managed to miss out tha point I'll never know.

Math was a killer paper ! I prepared the most for it and luckily I did because if I didn't I would have died. Made many careless mistakes which will prove to be quite costly ( discovered only after I finished the paper, ain't that always the case). Anyway I felt quite cheated because last year's prelim paper weren't nearly as difficult ,

Lit was fine. Horrible time management though. DOM and GE were fine but poetry was HORRIBLE. So even if I do well for DOM & GE, my good marks are gonna be offset by my failing marks from poetry. HALF AN HOUR, who can write a decent essay !

Bio was superbly difficult. Almost every question was an inference/application. Add on to the fact that I didn't study enough for it and you'll get someone who left 15 marks of questions completely blank and the majority of the rest of the questions playing guesswork. I have to admit, halfway through the paper I kind of gave up and just took my own sweet time answering questions.  Its the first time I left so many marks blank. Usually I'll try to fill in everything and maybe 3 or 4 marks will be left unfilled. But 15 marks?! Was pretty upset for awhile till I realised that I am not in a position to be upset since the effort wasn't put in, and I can't always expect last minute mugging to pay off. I swear this will not happen for As. That said, this paper is a confirm guarantee plus chop failure. If I am to pass Bio overall, I think I will need to score freaking high marks for app and mcq. Even then, it might be kind of hard if I fail this paper badly because it holds 65% weightage. Wonderful.

The only cherry on top of my rotting cake this week was A FOR CHINESE FTW (for the win) !
To set the situation in context, when I didn't get my A for chinese I remember being pretty upset. Was considering whether or not it was worth the time and effort but in the end I told myself if I didn't try I'll never know.
Plus I also did tell myself that even if I still got a B I wouldn't see it as time wasted, because at least I did try.
The way I found out my results was quite anti climax I must say. Everyone was gathered  around their teachers checking the lists and I walked up from behind and heard Dil say , hey look, kerri got A ! And then yihui was oh really , where ?
And then I popped up and said, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME !
haha , yeah so that was that.

I'm really glad hell week's over and I can finally take a breather.
I've kind of finished half my papers ( since I've only done parts of my H2s) and now that things seem salvagable ( EXCEPT FOR BIO), I'm going to try and make full use of the next few days. Here's a random picture from the choir concert which seemed like eons ago.



Funfact of the day : Last night while mugging for DOM, my nose started bleeding all of a sudden. ( ooh, how coincidental, ha. )  Luckily the blood didn't drip onto my notes because if it did , I'm sure my exam would have been gone case. HAHA.
Okay, I think this joke can only be understood by Lit students doing DOM/ people who have read the text.

Development Goals and Basic Accounts

Last week we updated our development goals for 2008. Generally we noted a number of cool enhancements and investments to LiveJournal that we are working on, including improved search, usability, and site development.

We also wanted to let you know how we hope to accomplish all these things, and how we plan on paying for them. In order to accomplish our stated goals for this year and beyond, we need to increase the revenue gained from both groups of LiveJournal accounts: paid subscription accounts and ad-supported accounts.

As of August 28th, all users will be able to choose to downgrade their account to Basic through their Manage Account page. Additionally, we will start showing advertising to visitors who are not logged in to LiveJournal when they are looking at Basic Account journals and communities.

Basic Account users themselves will not see ads on any Basic journal or community while they are logged in to their account. If you want more information about this, take a look at our new post on lj_2008 where we outline our reasoning.

Indian Flash Fiction Contest

In other news, we are excited to tell you we've launched "Quick Tales" LiveJournal's first initiative for users in India, in celebration of India Independence day, August 15th. "Quick Tales" is a flash fiction writing contest in which we're partnering with Caferati.com, one of India's largest online literary communites. The contest's winners will receive some great prizes and it is open to anyone with a mailing address in India. We hope that users with an interest in Indian writing or just India will watch LiveJournal's india_writing community. That's where the finalists and winners will be announced, so keep an eye on it towards the end of September! If you're in India then enter the contest - if your story is slick and quick (under 500 words) then you could be the lucky winner!

Meanwhile, back at LiveJournal Inc.

We have updated and redesigned our corporate site. The goal of the redesign was twofold: first, to update the look and feel (Dystopia users will appreciate it!); second, we want to provide a destination for prospective employees, partners, and members of the press where they can access important information about the company. Kudos to our design team.

I FOUND AN OLD BLOG! HOHOHOHOHO. I GOOD ANOT NGLIAN? THERE GOT MANY MANY PHOTOS! EVEN THOUGH ITS RATHER STALE ALRD.

Omfg lj isnt letting me post pictures.

Rules to be a good comrade.

"Punishment is always deserved"
Me and laura: -.- NOT.

"Your leader is always right" 
Me and Laura: Hell yeah. Miss Lee and Coach ftw.

It's twelve o' clock and I need your attention
It's like the alcohol making my head spin
Your scent is the rum. the room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless 'til I wake tomorrow

And if tonight ever makes a difference
The way that I feel the way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down until the glass remains
Swallow the words that I was meant to say

It's a long drive back to Vegas skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight, so

Say goodnight our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together
And know that the timing was right

All of these guards they stand tall and defensive
Putting up walls around what was once innocent
It won't let me in, but I'm stronger than that
'Cause you stole my eyes and I've never looked back
