8.02am: woke up
8.10am: had breakfast
8.12am: watched tv
8.52am: received a call from cat
cat says:
are you coming?
rachel says:
huh? of course la. later i suppose, not too early.
cat says:
do you know you're in the second shift? supposed to report at nine.
rachel says:
what???
9.00am: left the house
9.05am: hailed a cab and wow i love traffic jams and paying cab fares
9.25am: reached CLC
9.30am: sat down with classmates

anyway i wasn't the only one who was late, val + anita came in later than me, but they were only one room away in 412's homeroom. heh notice all the late goons are from 410. if this wasn't prelims, i wouldn't have bothered going, like how i took public transport to chemistry mocks despite being quite late.

btw it's such a torture being me right now, sick and not being able to have chocolates. eating them will aggravate my condition, so in a bid to get well faster..
忍!

i am traumatised for LIFE. i was sitting down on the living room floor, doing my work on the coffee table while watching the olympics when i felt something tickling my leg. thought it was my dog and so i peeked under. to my utmost horror, it was the biggest cockroach i've ever seen in my 16 years! i screamed feebly (courtesy of sore throat) and scrambled away. but it decided to traumatise me further by coming straight at me! screamed endlessly while i jumped onto the sofa, followed by my dad bursting from his bedroom wondering what on earth happened to me. YUCK. that abhorrent creep met with its end soon after. i'm still scarred for life.

haha slap me i'm reduced to watching some show with middle schoolers on nickelodeon. and next up is spongebob squarepants! ogay i think i'm changing the channel.

sundays are so.. lumpy. once i reach home from church, it's just reading, eating and watching tv. today i had an endless supply of peel fresh juices (any fresher, you'll have to peel it yourself!), ham sandwiches, fried kway teow and peanut butter on biscuits.

rahhh.

even though i don't dispense the best of advice or seem the least sympathetic or empathetic, i'm always game to be a listening ear. unless i'm bloody tired and in a semi-conscious state. don't usually blab secrets out either, except my own. just so you know..

have been thinking.. wishing some things turned out different. if only i could turn back time.. anyhow, i would take time out and write some random things i would like to change or could have done instead of whatever i did but 1. i'm too lazy to write them down on paper, 2. too personal to be up here and 3. i should be studying or something to that extent. and all these deserve a "fuck la..!"

wtf i didn't finish the physics practical. not sad enough to cry, not angry enough to scream, just kind of disappointed. oh well.. wish i could have gelato now. and you. mmm meanwhile i'm going to meet clare, looking forward to her company : )

oh YUCK. lessons learnt today:

1. don't buy mushrooms just because they look cute
2. don't buy mushrooms because you overheard an auntie telling her son that they're good
3. if you don't like how they smell, don't put them in your food uncooked
4. don't even try to eat them after you've done the above

anyhow, i need a studying partner. my requirements are simple, doesn't annoy me and is able to stay out till late. i shouldn't annoy the person either haha. takers?

ashley simpson is dope. i'm going to marry her someday.

restless day. have been feeling nauseous without rhyme or reason, gets worse towards the evening.

acjc's vending machine hates me! wanted to get milo from the vending machine, but no one wanted to walk there with me, but in the end christina decided to because she wanted a drink as well. being a gentlewoman, i let her use the machine first. guess what? she got the last packet of milo!!! but it's ok, i could do with something else, right? inserted 60 cents into the coin slot and punched the green tea button, but nothing happens except the tiny screen said 0.00 instead of 0.60. cheated me of my money! we couldn't find my green tea packet, and coin return wouldn't work (btw, by this time, we were laughing like two insane people and i was trying to punch the machine's lights out). somehow, chris managed to find the packet somewhere, but i never got my 10 cents change back.

still felt cheated when we sat back down. THEN i discovered there was no straw! wow. how am i going to drink from the packet? really loathe that machine (i'm sure it feels the same way about me).

sore throat. courtesy of chocolates. argh too painful to speak. makes me blog in disjointed sentences as well.

feeling awfully tired, i don't know why.

simple things brighten up my day though : )

studying and snacking come hand in hand. warning: i might be tipping the scales at 70kg by the end of Os.

hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang
boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay
oh life could be a dream (sh-boom)
if i could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)
if you would tell me i'm the only one that you love
life could be a dream, sweetheart
(hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again)
     sh-boom - crew cuts

am in an utterly pissymood. why?

1. had to attend speech day which lasted four hours, and if that wasn't bad enough, it was full of speeches and hundreds of over-achievers getting their awards.
2. the sun was mercilessly panfrying poor pedestrians like me
3. because.
4. i came back to a very dirty house (courtesy of ginger)
5. i fell asleep for two hours on the sofa
6. when i woke up, i switched on the tv in time to see li jia wei lose the last point (i have a feeling i jinxed her)
7. my dad couldn't find kinder bueno for me even though i told him the exact aisle and location
8. there is nothing on mtv
9. i watched david blaine: frozen in time for the second time
10. i am being distracted repeatedly from doing work

but one musn't forget to look on the bright sight and count one's blessings.

1. the reception after speech day served edible food
2. i made myself a lovely dinner
3. i also had kinder bueno for dessert (which i finished, so i needed more, that's why i needed my dad to get more)
4. less kinder bueno = less calories/fats
5. david blaine's tricks are still impressive
6. there's elmo to message me
7. li jia wei might still win the bronze medal
8. i completed one question for physics
9. ben kept to his word (unlike someone mentioned in the previous entry)
10. i sang to shakespeare in love
11. you just messaged something nice

things aren't that bad after all.. : )

argh really unhappy with some people. especially the one who doesn't want to return me money even though he said he would do so a month ago. it's ok to take your time, but don't say you're going to do something when you're not. keep your words. i'm only asking for it back because i need the money now. unhappy is an understatement but i don't wish to replace the word with anything harsher.

english oral examiners were nice. glad it's over. btw i must say i really don't like walking in the rain. found out i have to be at speech day. honestly, i have no idea what speech day is about. hate sitting/standing through all these functions, and i'm pretty sure this is a boring one. plus going back to school on saturdays is such an unpleasant thought.

longing..

huh what? don't look at me, i don't know either.

english orals tomorrow, hope i don't screw it up. i always run out of things to say. will try to eliminate colloquial language and throw in some big words.

prelims start next friday! argh. reality hasn't hit me hard enough yet. four days of study leave, but have to go back to school every day because of structured studying. ok praying that it'll help, i'll be quite happy if i have the mugging momentum.

friday: 2 questions of emath, followed by six hours of sleep till midnight, food fest for 2 hours before going back to bed.
monday: reached home, bathed and slept from 7pm to 6am.

had an interesting array of dreams on those two nights. btw i know i've been sleeping too much.

my moods can fit perfectly into points to form a cosine graph, or a wave graph (depends if you prefer math or physics). at its minimum point now.. sigh. i have so many things to say and to ask and to know but it's ok, i can keep quiet.

watched men in black on hbo for the first time in my life. haha alright, so i'm a few years behind.

i'm going to do emath before i fall asleep again.

i'm feeling like i can accomplish anything in the world right now. which is why i'm going to sleep.

elmo + cookie monster : )

chinese O level results were released today, received a distinction for orals (yay) but b3 for the paper. was pretty adamant that i wouldn't take it again at the end of the year but having second thoughts now. expected a b3 or b4 but it's quite annoying because i had an a2 last year (merit for orals). if only i could mix and match. no harm taking it again, right? argh but defeats my purpose of dropping higher mother tongue.

i don't think i've had my mind so infested before. it's scaring me.

colour catastrophe today. i prefer the notebook to a walk to remember, it's lovelier and funnier. as usual, studying eventually evolved to shopping. i am so psyched up about school tomorrow that it might actually excite me more than watching days of our lives.

wow: that's the one i have, coloursplash (in white). i haven't developed my first roll of film yet, so i don't know how the pictures will turn out. think part of the film was exposed when i was rewinding the roll. the lomo is very manual, kind of works like a disposable. but fun to play with : )

feeling (and hopefully, looking) much better now. maybe i'm even happy haha : ) i missed the fireworks and singapore idol! i hope there's a second telecast of singapore idol : ( btw it's quite gay seeing so many people donning red and/or white.

my goal for this week is to pass the amath test coming up on thursday. unlikely though, it's on linear law, kinematics and relative velocity. sorry but they sound quite foreign to me.

wow: as far as i know, there's a shop at lakeside mrt station which sells very limited variety of lomos, kinokunia and a shop at far east level 1 which sells a larger variety. it sells clothes as well, it's a corner shop and a few lomos are displayed in the glass case, which you will see if you keep your eyes near the floor. ask the shopkeeper for information, he's helpful (if it's the same one still).

woke up with largely swollen eyes. perfect accompaniment, to feel and look like a disaster. would you know?

wow: i bought a lomo a few months ago, not the oktomat though, a coloursplash. why? who are you anyways?

do you know what would make me really happy right now? besides the obvious, that is. it's this! tah dah!

WORD VOMIT. please stop me.

things that i should not have eaten

wednesday: gelare's chocolate temptaion
thursday: gelare's double scoop, a pint of ben & jerry's (separately)
saturday: 1/3 of a pizza, three amigos oven-baked pasta, some mudpie, four glasses of water (in one meal)

went for percussive elementz opus 1 because clara was performing, they certainly impressed me.. and i never knew there were so many percussive instruments! all sounded good : ) clara was most adorable.

bummed around at ssc with jo.. i recommend the chocolate eggless crunchy royal, yummy. also discovered that i haven't done any serious homework in a long time (forever, maybe), and that i have to destroy my nails if i want to write without hurting my palm.

why do i ask questions which i don't want the answers to?

what a sea of people in town and cinemas today. caught the village, which was actually different and better than what i'd expected (i had not expected much, to say the truth), followed by shopping. later in the evening, watched collateral (starring tom cruise) with xinyee + janice, give it three out of five popcorns!

just realised that my blog has been unintentionally made patriotic. national day songs are played so constantly, i find myself humming to them subconsciously. please stop me if you hear me do so.

i was a happy albeit plump and tired girl, until an hour ago (this means that i am no longer happy, not that i am no longer plump and tired). it's ok, there are other things to cheer me up, perhaps.

living past her prime, the sickeningly sweet stench of cigarette still lingers.

having some trouble with colour coordination for the new layout, but it suits what i'm feeling nowadays anyways, mismatched and simply wrong.

haha k screw school. love my parents! : ) it'll be an interesting change. instead of being bored at home/in school, i'll be bored onboard the ship. will gladly entertain calls and/or messages from any of my favourite people tonight. maybe i should buy a new book as a back-up plan. well, till i return (tomorrow, sadly) chickas.

unless i decide to change my mind. oh fickle chel.

i'm tired.. in more ways than one. sigh i should be numb to this, it happening in various ways many times over already.. but i'm not. nobody's fault but mine.
