stupid risk i took. spent a lot of time on my couch in front of the teevo. anyways i can't believe i forgot to blog about the practicals. in the holding room before biology.. the conversation goes something like this.

liyana: will they give us mealworms?
stef: yuck i hope not.
momo: hey maybe they'll give us something to dissect..
somebody: dissecting's out of the syllabus.
-momo flips through past years' biology practicals and stops at year 1989
momo: ooh look they can give us prawns!
me: yuck prawns are gross and too expensive.. they won't come out.
momo: heh heh bet it will!
zan: yeah, right. prawns will never come out.. why are you looking at that practical?! it's from 1989! it's 2004 now man.
momo: i can just smell the prawns.. (with some spastic expression)
-deadpan expressions from zan and i
momo: you sure you don't want to look at this practical?
zan + me: no thanks.
me: eh if the bloody prawn comes out, i'm going to throw it at you, momo.
momo: heh heh.
me: no, i'm serious.

well! momo saved her ass by saying "if a prawn really comes out, please don't throw it at me." before we left the holding room. momo's ramblings actually came true. grr. zan elbowed me when we entered the lab, and i managed to turn my loud laugh into a hacking cough. prawns are gross and smelly. just remembered that i forgot to title my drawings! pffft. woke up late for physics practical.. tsk. no more practicals! for now.

taking a risk by staying at home today in hope that i will get some work done. sucks that most people are having school holidays already.. less people to study with. tempted to load more songs into the ipod from CDs and to rearrange all the new pictures but i know it'll take me eons. hmm falling sick. sore throat, cough, phlegm. couldn't have chosen a better time than now.

anyways there was a halloween storytelling at borders yesterday, the girls are adorable! this was my favourite, the scarecrow song, sung to "sing a song of sixpence".

can you guess who we are?
scarecrows all are we
aren't we just the scariest
goblins to be seen?

we can look so sour
we can look so mad
we can scare most anyone
and that makes us so glad

ooh i like this one too. jack-o'-lantern song sung to "oh, christmas tree".

we jack-o'-lanterns march along
though all the night is darkness
we smile as brightly as we can
to scare whoever passes

oh we can jump and we can scream
but it's our smile that is so mean
we look this way and then look that
we even scare the old black cat

happy haunting halloween! : )

polka outing yesterday : ) polkamom and i were rj-wannabes. funny thing is both of us aren't that keen on going to rj (er assuming we can make it for Os). slappable but hey, made us feel smart while studying.

well, i'll be such a happy girl after the Os! i'll be psyched to visit danika, but in any case if tickets are unavailable still, there's still plan B! i want to just sit around drinking chocolate and reading.

why do i keep receiving emails with suggestions on how to enlarge the male member? series of them with subject titles like "CO:CK GRO:WTH". i don't have one, yes. thankfully for the junk mail filter.

argh supposed to wake up much earlier than 10a.m. to go to school, not to mention ripley's believe it or not and the computer distracted me. aye amath genius will saunter to school now! : )))

while studying, we had a very interesting couple next to us. they were an old cantonese-speaking couple (perhaps in their late sixties or seventies) with one of those portable disc players with a screen, headphones, remote control etc gizmos. they sat there drinking coffee and singing. opera style, no less. heehee caused uncontrollable giggles from tables.

anyway i shouldn't have started watching channel 8 drama serials because they get me all worked up! there are several slap-worthy characters in the champion, indisputably, number 1 on the list is yilin. among the list are moses lim's wife and the entire family of tardy queen's.

ok since i've vented my frustration, i am going to sleep soon. toodleloo.

overslept for church for two weeks in a row. zzz.

walked in the heavy rain for the first time in years! quite a refreshingly disgusting experience : ) praises for essential brew! food for tea lovers. yummy. feeling happy these few days. why? good food = happy rachel.

and seriously.. argh. feel like i'm going around in circles.

my favourite couple now is andy lau + sammi cheng in yesterday once more. i love the show! still feel sad about the ending : (

heh heh balls to those who missed fiona xie in the champions on channel 8 today. she's adorable and hot at the same time.. mmm used to hate her when she was acting in that genie show though.

polkamom and polkapop are cool jazz kids (inside joke). <3 polkamom for always accompanying me : )

mark drove us (nigel + xue + me) to simpang for supper. quite amusing watching him drive, trying to park and cursing a lot. tsk these unlicensed drivers. shall stop being greedy and not order food when i'm not hungry.

chemistry practical today was ok.. hopefully i did well. one who has brains will realise that O levels are HERE. unfortunately my brain is AWOL.

we should be allowed to stay in school until 10p.m. samz and i are best friends with the school now. we should stop being such jazz people. btw i did the smartest thing today (yet again). i went all the way to school to realise i've forgotten to bring practically all my work out, so i had to go back home to take it before coming back out again. for your information, i live in pasir ris, and school is near town.

short on funds.

ok i am super tired. good night.

don't see where i'm going with this but i'm finding it difficult to let go. bet it's a piece of cake for you.

farewell assembly today, i realised if i had not deferred in sec 3 from tennis to soccer (for a year), and without any beta records (heh heh i think i have more than ten), i might have gotten some cca thing for tennis! stef woo and min joo got it, but their tennis skills are about a hundred times better than mine. a lot of snapping cameras, gifts, notes and all that jazz.

class lunch was at seoul garden, but we only popped by for a while because we ate at coffee club instead. i'm not a fan of seoul garden, memories i'd rather forget plus it's quite disgusting cooking all the crap. not to mention it's hot and noisy, complete with sticky floors.

i love being in school after 6.30pm. you can have the school to yourself, you can sing at the top of your lungs, you can practically do anything you want to. plus it's no longer hot and humid, but rather cool and breezy. much comfortable walking out of the school at night than when the sun is out because argh you just get all sweaty and sticky in the day. much thanks to warm goose for being my silly companion : )

i don't want to suffer from premature aging, trying to protect my face from my sun as much as possible. also i don't want to get osteoporosis, drink milk everyday! got milk?

lao shi made us herbal soup today!!! but i was the only one who drank it. i like it! had fire drill in the middle of chinese class which was a waste of time and energy, made us all sweaty. i have pretty bad heat rash now and a scaly patch on my left elbow. maybe i'm turning into a crocodile.. yeah, right.

quite psyched up for next week! i can't wait to turn into a mugger! can just envision myself practically living in school. jill, maybe i'll go to mj instead haha because as chah said, distance. i can probably wake up at seven.

on my way home in the train, i couldn't help looking over this lady's shoulder because i noticed she has been smsing non-stop. after a while, i realised she was stuck creating a message for a really long time. she kept deleting her words, rephrasing her sentences and changing her mind on what to say for the entire journey. there was once when she came SO close to sending the message, then she cleared the number and went back to editing her message. by the time she got off at bedok, she was still at it. apparently she is mentally weak and has been referred to a psychologist, and she seems rather uncomfortable talking about it. her boss and colleagues know, and her expenses are paid for by the company. i'm sorry for intruding on her privacy but her phone was just in my line of view. really hope that she gets help soon (as she said she hopes that the doctor will be able to help her). i'm not usually that nosy about strangers.

maylin: hey! leave your blog address for me, ok? study for Os! they start next week (the practicals) grr! i heard you're going to apply for vj? haha glad you liked the chocolates!

moderated results are out, final l1r5 is 14. my l1r5 consists of an a1, four a2s and a c5. feeling sad and mopey because i doubt i'll be able to get into acjc. the acjc group which came down to school said the cut-off for arts was probably 13, science 12 (raw score). and worse, i have only two bonus points, and no sports to appeal in through. but of course i'll look on the bright side, if i go to cj, i'll have mars' company and i don't even need to buy a new shirt because i have it already : ) mer, you'd better join us in cj as well!

spinkie and i got our tamagotchis today, haha the new generation of tamagotchi. quite a waste of thirty bucks, but what the heck, just for the annoyance of a pink electronic device beeping for you to feed it/clean up/play. which reminds me to feed ginger as my mum told me to.

xuezie the pig tempted me to nydc, only had boo boo and chicken noodle (in this order) though. laughing and commenting on silly photos in the yearbook i brought home from the locker.

we got our personalised FBTs today, i didn't know the word would be embroidered on the ass at a very wrong location. nevertheless, it is pretty interesting but i'll feel quite weird wearing them.

i want to watch america's next top model but i have other things to do rahhh.

ogay seems like i have a 15% chance of getting into ac. anyway, school dentists are super cute and nice! <3 them! such adorable geeks.

maylin's birthday party on friday night. meixiu and i waited for 45 minutes for a cab, made us quite late and my godiva chocolates for her melted a bit : ( saw the real keith oh there, so to the impersonator in the guestbook, grow up please and my friend didn't even kiss him.

samz and i wanted to die while watching the exorcist: the beginning. for some reason i've never thought the first one was scary. it was nice walking around fullerton/esplanade area yesterday and finally settling down at haagen dazs for ice-cream.

going to die for O levels man, i did one chapter of bio for the entire day which happens to be diffusion and osmosis. grr.

that was funny/weird. in an interesting way.

i am extremely upset because i can't find the witch hat i really really really want. both toys'r'us at forum and tampines don't have it : ( grr. i'll rip it off the kid's head if i ever see it.

the best thing about wounds is that you can pick the scab. then you go "OUCH!" and realise it's not fully healed.

i was too tired and lazy to roll out of bed today, slept all the way till near noon. found out that samz skipped school as well, so met up with her : ) pavilion's kfc had jamie yeo blasting away in our ears argh went to the library in the end. i used to visit that library every week when i was still living in tampines, and i'll lug tons of books home. anyway, i can't borrow any books from the library now because i still owe them money. heh i think i haven't paid them in years.

this happened about a week ago. i was eating crab nuggets from old chang kee, and eunice her curry puff. i liked curry puffs with chicken (lagoon curry puffs!), so i asked if there was chicken in the puff. anyway we continued walking around, when suddenly, eunice turned to me and said in a very serious tone, "rachel." i replied, "huh what?" and continued chewing on my nuggets. "are you a vegeterian?"

how smart can eunice get! one of them is a vegeterian and for some out-of-the-world reason she thought it was me (after eating countless of subways, old chang kees, and things with meat together).

of going to school, pros: there are lessons; cons: there are lessons.

hot cocoa grande and a whole box of wheat crackers kept my tummy filled but i just had to buy a crunchie cone and encounter motion sickness in the cab home from holland village. worst thing is i can't even puke so i am just feeling nauseous nauseous nauseous.

actually i just thought of the cause of my nausea. i can't really down anything from coffee clubs (cocoa, mocha, espressos) without feeling nauseous and restless after that. oh what a pity i really like the hot cocoa.

m: any of those roads in thailand with two thousand shops selling things from sea cucumber to marijuana badges should have at least one shop selling the disco balls. who are you anyway?

taxi driver broke rule 3 (not knowing how to get to the destination), and took wrong routes, resulting in us circling tampines twice and me reaching church late again.

i've had enough of guys who have one-sided conversations with themselves and don't realise i am not replying at all (because i don't feel like it), and girls who are paranoid or oversensitive or insecure and needy. pamela i'm-wailing-like-it's-the-end-of-the-world-because-i-got-80plus-for-lit ng also brings out the mean and intolerant side of me. only have one thing to say to them: STOP IT.

sorry, really needed to get that out.

argh i don't want to go to school tomorrow. assembly and lessons and teachers and sitting still, they all just bore into me.

finally developed first roll of lomo shots which look quite bad, hopefully i'll improve with time and experience.

have you ever wanted everything and nothing at the same time? do you know what it feels like to want something badly and yet want to give it up as well?

i think the phrase "beating around the bush" has an underlying sexual reference. which reminds me, zan has to stop relating everything to sex! everything she says has to have some kind of sexual connotation. samz and i are attempting to give her a clean education. boy, will it be impossible.

m: 13 points to get into sajc. harder to get in than acjc.
shuzhen: i think i remember you, you're from ij right?
daph: bet i won't have to treat you after moderation. i'm not studying, i'm learning..! unlike 90% of rgs, my l1r5 is not contained in a single digit.

rashes and pimples and eczema patches. i need a skin graft.

singapore idol, in all its glory, is not comparable to american idol. still, i'll support maia and sylvester : ) watching singapore idol makes me want to do something about the state of the studios, its equipment etc. sub-standard, really.

it doesn't help if i sit down the whole day and complete about six questions of math. efficiency, please!

watched ghostbusters this morning! haha haven't watched it since forever. watched it a few hundred times when i was younger, will always remember the giant stay puft marshmellow man.

do i mean anything?
