Snails see the benefits.

The beauty in every inch.

Oh my gosh haha my mom mentioned something about Korea during dinner and my brain immediately went into Social Studies Mode: Korea = Nuclear = ASEAN = Bilateral agreements = Malaysia = Singapore = geopolitics = innate vulnerability etc etc.

Another week gone!

I had chem diagnostic earlier this week and the math test today. Both were okay: I felt a little cheated studying so much for chem when it resembled the FA they gave us, but I was just relieved it was manageable. Got a bit freaked out at the beginning of the math test and stared blankly at the paper, but returned to it later and miraculously found the working.

But in the midst of studying and working I suppose I still had fun. (: It's really something to see our class get so hyped doing class deco, amusing (and vaguely disturbing) to see Bek getting high over gay-fying our class with pink flowers and then fight to participate in a class discussion, which is unprecedented. Well I can't say I dislike this aspect of our class. :D

So - some thanks are in order, I think.

Biscuit - for being encouraging and nice and patiently helping me with chem and math and making everything seem so much clearer. Also, for your Presence which calmed all of us (I think) greatly when we stayed back to badger you with questions - or there'll be chaos and we'll run around like headless chickens. o:

Chiow SM, Clarice, Shiing, Tricia, Jazzu - for complaining and doing math together with Biscuit and just having fun in the midst of studying, haha! Shiing's question really made my day, as did her face when I pointed out the mistake to her.

Si Rui - for always helping to the best of your ability

Lishan - for conviniently sitting in front. (:D)

Mak & Xinle - for being nice seatmates and amusing me greatly on occasions.

Jessica & Sam - for being Weird and naughty and poking me (you guys need to stop that)

413 - for being in one location and panicking over various things and complaining and being dead and alive and then dead again

Darren & Nellie - for hearing my endless and slightly delirious comments and encouraging me greatly

Karen: for listening and being knowing and not-so-subtle. ;)

Sarah, JX, Gracey, Nancy, Nana, Cheryl, Muni - for being what you are always best at: my friends <3

And all those who have helped me in some way or another: Thank you so much for getting through the FIRST OFFICIAL TEST OF THE YEAR. So hard to believe it's only second week when there's so much to do!

The wisdom of a fool won't set you free.

Phwoah, first proper week is over. OVER, PEOPLE. D'you hear me the first time, or must I repeat myself?

So for this whole week, my MSN has been set to permanently busy and my body in permanent Sick-Mode. Apparently it decided to upgrade itself and pushed it to Sick-And-Contagious-Mode because today Mak got sick and had to go home halfway. I hope you get well soon! I hope Xinle doesn't get it too.

And I have a whole load of things to do, including homework and revision, and I'm just glad that my aversion towards homework/studying has not started itself although I can feel my motivation waning, which is not good. Come back, Motivation! We're not over yet!

Our teachers are...interesting, and I've got a pageful of Teacher Quotes to prove it. Hopefully more will follow, although some express it through actions instead of verbally.

Example:
A. Chia: ...and what if I say, every time Mr Chia opens the door, it will rain? -strides over to the door, flings it open dramatically and startles RGS girl walking by-

A. Chia: I'm not one of those people who get frightened by cockroaches. I don't go, "Eeeurgh, cockroach!" -mimics a sissy frightened leg-comes-up move-

Gosh, I wish I could've caught those moments on video. Jess and I were laughing so hard.

Okay, more Physics. I'm exhausted. I have been exhausted every single day.

I'm going to be posting more things on my LJ instead of here, so in time to come this blog may be completely gone.

And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,

It's the heart of every man.

Didn't go to school at all on Monday because I was dreadfully sick: couldn't sleep at all on Sunday night, and the half-sleeping pill that my mom gave me only lasted for two hours. I had a weird vivid dream involving loads of red and a guy named Warren and a girl named Alice and we were in a shop together and I dreamt that they suddenly packed up, said goodbye and left, and then I was awake.

Woke up at 2am (after Warren and Alice left), walked around the house, dragged my pillow and blanket out into the living room and read my Bible, finally decided to text Tricia to tell her I'll not be going to school and then wrote a four-page monologue. I sound pretty delirious inside it. o: After that I laid on the sofa but my back complained like an old man, and finally at 5am dragged everything back into my room and went into a semi-sleep, waking up every twenty minutes or so.

The doctor's now had this scanning thing which measures your temperature instead of the previous stick-into-your-ears thingummy, so it's pretty cool. Diagnosed with fever and flu, so I got home, ate my medicine and conked off for several hours. Woke up and voila, Biscuit was online and it finally hit me that the amount of work that I have to do is staggering. Applaud, people.

Sigh. Proper school is so ):

Trend-breaking. I will remember. Trend-breaking.

(sohardtodo argh stop it I will make this work.)

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
And the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagle takes to flight.

With not much to lose, but so much to gain.

So - first day of school. Feels like the oldest new beginning of the four years. Everything is so familiar: you walk into the classroom and nothing has changed, the people are still the same, the conversations are so familiar, Biscuit still calls me ______. (Pffft.) I wasn't nervous, not really. Managed to sleep quite peacefully the night before, and I seemed to have gotten sleep-paranoia, because I went to sleep really early and actually woke up on time! I'm proud of myself.

Our form teacher is so PHWOAH. A few of us were wth-ing outside the CLC. Well - not a bad wth, just one of general astonishment. And then we dashed back to class and - ta daaa! There she was, in the flesh.

It's strange. When I've finally stopped being afraid/nervous of the first day of school, it so happens to be the last first day of school in RGS. Everything seems to have the word LAST stamped upon in red ink: CCAO, first day of school, house talk etc.

Oh - well! What to do?

I'm going to be completely cool and composed. It's totally the in-thing this year! (But oh, so weird. Even I found it weird. And Currency pointed it out to me, and it was weird and very laughable. She had a smirk on her face during recess today. )

Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on
Is trying to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Happy new year, everybody! :D

Spent the last half-hour or so of 2008 on the computer. I completely meant to countdown, but then I heard bangs and then cheers and whistles outside my window so I ran outside and - surprise surprise, fireworks! Miniature fireworks exploding between the flats, but fireworks all the same. And then when I returned to the computer all my MSN convos were flashing and I realised that it is, officially, 2009.

music when the lights go out is a heathen says:
'When was the last time you had some sleep?' 'Last year.'
LOL.

Innit tho.

When I staggered to bed at 1.40 AM, people were still whooping downstairs.

And tomorrow there's...school! Unbelievable. I can't seem to get that notion in my head. I'm still trying to pretend that I can afford to wake up at a late-ish time, and that I won't have a few tests awaiting me the next week or so.

Well obviously that delusion is going to be destroyed in the next 12 hours or so, but I'll live it out as long as I can.

So let the zombifying/massacre of brain cells begin!
