Mood: depressed.. but feeling a little bit better now
Songs stuck in head today: Chicago and Never Be The Same both by Ingram HillToday is the reason why I'm down right now. It's been insane. Maybe that's exaggerating, but I really feel that today was such a bad day and it simply dragged on to like now. Heard that for the Bio SPA it was supposed to be the Biuret test.
Great. Why did I have to do the Benedict's solution test instead. ENZYMES!!!! They're supposed to be
PROTEINS. I am such a dumbass. Then during Bio, Mr Peh said that the class average was around 8.5. Out of 20. And he marked it leniently. I'm screwed. Someone shoot me right now.
Well anyway I don't really know what to write or maybe even how to write what's really in my head right now.. so I think the best way to describe it is by posting the song
'Believe' by HANSON:
BelieveI was holding on, now I'm letting go
This is nothing more than a picture show
Everything I knew now I hardly know
Busy keeping less never getting more
One more nickel dime I'm out the door
This kind of life I can't afford
I want to believe there's something to believe
I would live only just to believe
Oh, I'd love to believe
It's not only me that's longing only just to believe
'Cause I want to believe
I want to believe
Can't put my mind at ease with the words I say
Trying to get myself to get out of my way
Birds in the trees just make me depressed
Seeing sunny skies feeling emptiness
Layers of lies just seem to fold
This kind of life is all I know
I want to believe there's something to believe
I would live only just to believe
Oh, I'd love to believe
It's not only me that's longing only just to believe
'Cause I want to believe
I want to believe
Murder wears a friendly smile
Like the perfect end in a plastic vial
No pain
Sorry I can't seem to stay
But this bird was meant to fly away
Layers of lies just seem to fold
This kind of life is all I know
I want to believe there's something to believe
I would live only just to believe
Oh, I'd love to believe
It's not only me that's longing only just to believe
'Cause I want to believe
I want to believe
I will believe
I'd love to believe
I can believe in something
I will believe
I'd love to believe
I can't believe in nothing

Song stuck in head today: Tangled Up In Me by Skye Sweetnam (thanks loads nurul)Ok we didn't get Gold with honours. Neither did we get a Gold. Silver. That's what we got. A silver award. Honestly I did expect it but part of me didn't want to believe in it. We wanted the gold soooo much. And it would have been better if we had gotten the Gold with honours. Partly because we felt we had to prove something to the school that Drama Club isn't 'Bronze material' especially to those with
that notion stuck in their heads due to the previous SYF.
I don't know, I guess we were hoping for something more.. thought we really were going to clinch the gold. But seriously, I think there's something screwed with the judges. St. Pat's only got a Gold? No honours? Now that's wrong. As soon as Riane passed us the message from her cousin that St. Pat's only got a Gold, we were all like,
"Oh shit.." Because if St. Pat's had gotten a Gold with honours, then we wud have had a pretty good chance of getting a Gold. And come on... KC got a Gold? Apparently they made the judges cry.
Great. Because we made the judges
sleep. No I'm serious. A couple of them were sleeping during our performance. But oh well.. enough about that. What's important is that
we know we have done a great job and that we
are Gold material. All I have to say is: Good luck String Ensemble! Hopefully you guys would be able to clinch the Gold with honours for the school.
Anyway, Bio SPA today sucked. As in real bad. I totally screwed it up. Thanks a lot Mr Peh. You are officially my favourite teacher in the school now.
NOT.

Mood: bored as hell
Song stuck in head today: Kiss On by Tyler HiltonI am bored. BORED. With a capital B-O-R-E-D. I feel so bored I can't focus on studying my stupid Lit. book. I'm so bored I feel like going out for ice cream even though it looks like it's going to rain. I'm so bored I'm listening to the song on my blog over and over again. Get my drift? Thank god I didn't wake up early today or I'd have had nothing to do except study. So I decided to just sleep in even though I felt my eyes opening at 8.30am. I just willed myself to stay asleep and lo and behold, I managed to sleep in til like almost 12. And I don't regret it because I think I deserved it. I've been lacking on sleep lately and this sleeping-in oppotunity I greatly welcomed. But now I have nothing to do (No, do not tell me to go study because that's the
last thing I want to do right now). Think I'll go switch on some Tyler Hilton.....
*tick tick tick tick*
Ok have gone to his official site and turned on his media player.(Go on, listen to his songs. They rock!). As I sit here looking at his pictures flashing on the player, you know what I realise? He has the same built as Taylor. Tyler Hilton and Taylor Hanson aren't very muscular-built. Except that Tyler has way bigger hands than Taylor. Tay has pianist hands, and Ty has guitarist hands. Wait, that makes him the same as Ike because Ike has guitarist hands too. Then what about drummers?? Well Zac has hot arms. As in
HOT. Yeah.. drummers rock. Especially Zac and Matt. As in Matt Chambless from Ingram Hill. Yeah.. they rock.
Anyway, speaking of Tyler Hilton I haven't been over at the street team site in ages. I'm such a lousy Tracker.. Gotta keep updated with the latest news and such. K heading over now.. Ciao!

Mood: stressed
Song stuck in head today: A Song To Sing by HANSONToday was really a drag. There was nothing interesting to make the day un-boring. The first lesson was English and yeah.. we all know how that goes. At least I paid attention in Biology today. Mr Peh was explaining reproduction in plants. Finally a theory lesson after so many lab lessons drawing stupid flowers. I swear if we had more drawing lessons I would officially steer clear from flowers. And I can never see the ovaries or ovules or whatever you call them. Even with the hand lens (loads of help
that is). I mean I haven't done still-life drawing in ages and I'm sorry but my drawings look like shit. I only got one 'Good' out of like 6 drawings. I'm so going to fail my O Level practical if flowers come out.
Mrs Liew didn't return us our Chem CA. Now I'm going to have to wait one whole agonising weekend!! I can't take this! Only the short practical cheered me up. We were doing some exothermic/endothermic reaction experiment. And Syikin rocks!! She's the best lab partner EVER. Lol she cracks me up soooooo much.
Syikin: No fair, you got the cool experiment.
Me: Well your experiment is HOT!
Syikin: Haha and your experiment is COOL!Get it, get it??!! Because she added sodium carbonate to water and I added ammonium chloride to water. And so she got hot results and mine were cold. Lol we are so whacked.
Anyway today honestly sucked. Nothing much to blog about. Except that I have this one verse from 'A Song To Sing' stuck in my head over and over.
I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio
So I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me
These blue yonder dreams and second hand shoes
You're so far gone that you live to lose
And it's too late to go home all alone
You're the tar in that old cigar
And the worn out cable on a cable car
And you're too tired to admit you've got to choose
Ok so maybe it's practically the whole song. But it's such a great song with beautiful lyrics. HANSON writes awesome songs. Well I guess that's enough obsession for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. I'll be studying 'King Of The Castle'. sigh.... Wish me luck.

Song stuck in head today: Escape by HoobastankFirst of all, new layout's up! Well technically it's not really a new layout. I just changed the pics to create a UAL theme because Underneath Acoustic Live has to be the best performance video EVER!! But coming from an obsessed fan who will be so completely biased towards the loves of her life, it's probably been exaggerated a tad. Or maybe a whole lot. But thanks so much to
itsincredible.com for the absolutely gorgeous pictures from the dvd. I've been looking for any Ike pics from UAL since forever! And I finally found the perfect pic yay-ness.
I am so frustrated with myself. Imagine losing 6 whole marks on a stupid sketch-the-curve question just because you did not key in the substitution of the x-values properly. Yup, that's what dumbass me did and I got the question completely wrong. And I did not even bother to double-check even though the graph totally did not look like an exponential curve.
Argh! I just hope I can improve from last term's C5 to at least a B4.
And we had our English CA today. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. What a way to start the day right? And I absolutely cannot write an argumentative essay for nuts! I have all these points but it just won't flow. But Miss Ang totally pissed me off this morning. What are our bloody exercise books for if we're just going to fill it up with only ONE CA. Just because a few people didn't bring their exercise books. Which irritating fucking idiots didn't bring their books?! Isn't it like perfectly clear that the exercise book is meant for CAs. Even then, couldn't we have just used the exercise books and those morons can just stick in their CAs or something?
Honestly!
Anyway Elia fell sick today. Which means major "screwed"! Please please let her get better over the weekend. Get well soon Elia! And Jane too! And everyone else who's feeling sick. 4 more days to SYF and we can't let our hard work go to waste. Don't exert yourselves too much all right? Get LOADS of rest.
I had my dental appointment today. The dentist is sooooo nice, I tell you. He doesn't seem scary at all unlike a certain traumatising evil nurse I know. And my wisdom teeth are growing out just fine. They don't hurt or anything, so it isn't necessary for me to take them out. Does this mean I'll get wiser? Lol nurul said that's why I'm so smart. Right... since when does teeth have anything to do with your ability to store and process information?
Anyhoo, American Idol starts in like a minute. Even though I already know who got voted out (No I did not watch the earlier show. People were posting about it on HF.net). What I'm really looking forward to is
'The O.C.' which starts in half an hour. Episode 3 here I come! Adam Brody rocks my socks!!

Mood: tired.. very tired
Song stuck in head today: Over by Lindsay LohanIsn't it weird how the day can change your perspective of things? How you go out the door having this feel-good feeling, and thinking,
'Today's going to be an actual "ok" day.' Well how else am I supposed to feel? It's Wednesday, we have one less subject today, and we're having full dress rehearsal for SYF. But nooooo.. things just had to screw up somehow. First it was our History CA paper. We finally got it back after say.. 3 weeks? Yeah, and I know how people said 19/25 was good and all, but I just feel that I could have given it so much more. I studied for it really hard and I expected myself to write a better essay. But oh well.. I'm really grateful for getting the mark I got since like more than half the class failed.
Anyway, our final full dress rehearsal went ok I guess. But we exceded the time by like 2 mins. And I don't know if the play should be within 20 mins or the whole thing including setting up and taking down of the set needs to be within 30 mins. Because at the moment, the props team have been able to set up well within the given 5 mins, and that goes the same for the taking down of the set too. So hopefully we will be able to give some "extra time" for the performance. But I felt there was something seriously lacking with today's rehearsal. I don't know.. I just felt it wasn't fast-paced and that it was kind of draggy. But that could just have been me. I mean, after hearing that band only got Gold (not Gold with Honors like usual) I'm really getting worried and nervous for Drama. But yeah.. like Mrs Lopez said in her "poem", as long as we have done our best we should celebrate it anyway.
Okies sis needs to use the computer for her research. I'm really sorry if this post had been extremely boring but I guess the words aren't flowing at the moment. I think I need a nice long hot shower. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day, even with the argumentative essay writing CA tomorrow. I suck at that. I'm seriously screwed..

Mood: A.math sucks. 'Nuff said.
Song stuck in head today: still I Don't Wanna Be by Gavin DeGraw (I'm just so hung up on this song, aren't I?)Today was a typical Monday morning no different from any other Monday mornings. I was almost late to school, the first lesson was A.Math and we read the newspaper during English. Seriously, could this get anymore routine? Because at this rate I can practically memorise the timetable for Monday. Odd AND Even week. The only burst of excitement that set apart today from every other Monday was the fact that it was Jia Wen and Faryhin's birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!! You both rock my socks and I love you lots like jelly tots.
*MUAHZ!*
The A.Math springtest really really really (did I say absolutely?) sucked. I couldn't answer any questions. Not one! I won't be surprised if I don't get any marks for this paper. And it's out of 20!!
Fudgin hell!! And Mrs Liew said I didn't get the highest in Chem for the CA.
What the freaking shit?? I mean Congrats to whoever got the highest (Mrs Liew wouldn't say who) but yeah.. it kind of sucks not to get the highest for Chem. And thank you so much Mrs Liew for making me wait an agonising 4 days for my Chem paper. We have like 4 days of Chem on Odd weeks, but only 2 on Even weeks??!! The timetable structure is seriously screwed. Eg. on Tues odd week we have A.Math, PE, CA, and Bio, Chem and Physics after. And on Wed it's Humanities day: we have SS, History and Lit. It's a conspiracy!!
Well anyhoo (that's become a favourite word of aint it?) I really got to go. 'Desperate Housewives' starts in like 15 minutes and Gabz just came online. Ciao!

Song stuck in head today: I Don't Wanna Be by Gavin DeGrawThe internet has finally been connected as of 12 noon today. I think it's time to bring out the champagne, don't you think? *pops the champagne bottle*
Cheers! You wouldn't believe how agonising it is not to have the internet connection. It's been more than a month. I believe that's a record worth knowing about lol. I watched
'The Grudge' today and
'Duplex' yesterday. Yup, rented those movies. It's kind of an interesting way to spend your Saturday night if you plan to stay at home instead of going out like all those other normal people out there. But I guess that leaves me 'abnormal'. But since I'm supposed to be normal, does that make those other people 'abnormal'. If you're already confused by this, I just thought I should let you know this is my lame attempt at trying to increase my post length because I think my posts are way too short. You can take this piece of information as totally uninteresting and absolutely freaky, and just press that little 'x' in the corner. Or you can just click on one of my links. But if you pick the latter, make sure you head onto the Ingram Hill official site or the Tyler Hilton one because they are great musicians who deserve just a liiiiiitle bit of promotion and publicity going their way (That's ok guys, you can thank me later by giving me free M&Gs at your next concert).
By the way, to those of you who bother listening to the song on my blog, you would have noticed that I do not have a HANSON song on anymore. It's sad, I know. But the site where I got my songs from suddenly doesn't have HANSON songs anymore. And my web host simply would not let me play song files which have been ripped from the CD. So now I have Gavin DeGraw on my blog. *cheers and applause* I think this song absolutely rocks! (Can't say the same for One Tree Hill though)
Anyhoo.. I've got to go off now. My school books are becking to me to go pack them, and I have to finish my A.math homework. Ciao!

Mood: still in a reverie
Song stuck in head today: Hotel Paper by Michelle BranchOk as riane has pointed out that oh-so-blatant fact, I have not updated in ages. But hey, what am I supposed to do when the internet at home has been disconnected, and I can't get a computer during recess due to the over-excited-with-the-comp-lab Sec 1's? But here I am now at an internet cafe (I swear this has become a permanent to-do on my agenda every weekend) and I am finally updating after say, 2 weeks? Seems more like an eternity to me. Believe me, I know how much it sucks not having the internet at home. After all that's what I'm going through right?
Anyhoo, it's been going quite all right for me. Quite the same as usual. If I'm not busy studying, I'm busy sitting in the studio waiting for SYF rehearsal to finish. If I'm not busy doing that, then I'm busy studying. You get the picture. My life basically revolves around these two things at the moment. I welcome any opportunity to just slack off and relax. That's why I jumped at the idea of going to watch
'Twelfth Night' last night. The play was good. Could have been better. I was so expecting those Elizabethan costumes with those stockings and gorgeous dresses with bodices so tight I wonder how the women could have allowed their diaphragms to expand. But the play was set in 1940- not one of my favourite eras, but I tolerated it all the same. And Feste simply rocks my socks. He was always my favourite Shakespearean character. His character is just so hard to fathom. And last night, I fell in love with Feste even more. Many thanks to Paul Hamon (sp?) for bringing the character of Feste to life, what with the singing and the witty remarks. I shall be looking forward to all the Feste scenes when I read the text again for O Level revision.
Right now it's been a busy time for the Performing Arts people basically because of SYF. Malay Dance should so have gotten
Gold. They rock and everyone knows it. But because of a few "setbacks" they got Silver instead. I mean, honestly, who uses props or sets to make their dance better?? Would someone please explain to me the rational behind that? Until then I'll just stick to my belief that the judges (or maybe one particular judge) had something against TKGS. Now I'm getting worried for Drama. Would we be able to clinch the Gold? I certainly hope so. And I certainly hope I won't get any dreams about it, because I dreamt that Malay Dance would get Silver. But just call it coincidence because I know I'm NOT psychic or whatever you call it.
Ok now before my fingers get so frozen I have to amputate them, I better log off and be on my way. Hopefully I will be able to update again soon. And I'm almost to the end of my playlist on my mp3. That means I've been in here long enough. Ciao!
