Tml's teacher's day. Then it's holiday! better still, there is NO homework (unless you count Mr Tan's)
Today, lugged all my books and stuff under the table back home.
Then came back and had fun with 2hrs ++ of anime! (:
Ichigo rocks.
Incidentally, today, for english lesson, we were let off early, as we finished watching Remembering the Titans le.
It's a really cool movie. Almost went sniffing at the last part...it was like such a nice, touching movie---and to think it really happened!
yaryar. but then, because of Bio, we need to stay for another hour or so? Agar plates and more. haiz.
and to those people out there, please get the facts right. There are many more who got higher, just that they were surprise cases. never thought they made it right? ChecK, don't base ideas on one person only.
and I still don't get why you are angry with me, can't we start over?
anyway, poem time!!!
SidewalksThere are places out thereWhere you would never goWhere the grasses are dullWhere flowers don't growThere is a placeWhere the sidewalk endsWhere the unknown laces to truthsAnd there we find the blends of yesterdayLet's leave this place where smoke never turns whiteAnd streets are never bentAway from the calling lamps shining blightlyPast the patches screaming lentWe'll walk a walk measured and slowUntil and until we reach the placeWhere traffic lights don't glowWhere painted arrows don't pass baseTowards the place where the sidewalk ENDs.Once and for all.

Just been super duper stressed by a paper that's due on wednesday. Totally scratch, literature review left undone. and worse still. It's like graded? I want that gold!Just because they wanted it to be graded, they extend the dateline by a week, without even considering that it's difficult to cite sources for every fact you take a leaf out of others' papers?
Yucks!
Today, english period watch movie! Sure didn't expect myself to be so interested to watch "Remembering the Titans", a show revolving around FOOTBALL. and of course, the racism issue between blacks and whites. dots...
Anyway, on a happier mood, there's little homework to be done...and I've got a sheepskin to sit on (:
Blehhs---currently on a break from reading those papers. better get back to that research paper, before I realise it's bedtime...talk/type more the next time...
hey.Sometimes, there is no need to be a one sided figure.It's not as though I'd eat people.Popping out of nowhere, asking stuffs.Then ignoring people, all over again.LoL.What kind of attitude is that?

As the world progresses, suddenly we people of secondary three get plonked into a mess. Now, we seemingly have the stress to do well in order to gain certain scholarships. Today, we had like all the entry requirement booklets passing around. Saw the ones for universities in Oxford and based on their entry scores, it looks easy to get in, but there'll bound to be alot of competitors...
Anyway,
*Can't comprehend anymore*
Got your marks, good or bad, don't compare, just make sure you have done your best and maybe met your standards-Pris's motto, but now, I'm a believer too (:
It's the basic we can do to remain happy always...Scholarships are just the bonus or reward for hardwork...
Ok. maybe I'm just consoling myself or what, but I kind of think that this is the way it should go. Do well not because you want to win others, but because you want to prove to yourself that you can get better...that's the spirit!
ok. Let's just move on to other happier stuff!
o.O POEM TIME!!!
whoa. It's been a uber duper long time since I've produced a nice good one! hahas...so yea, here goes! I'm writing this one from scratch so I don't know the end result yet. I'll think it as I write...
Thinking about ThinkingsYou know that somehowPeople grow as they liveDid you ever wonder whilst aliveHowever did it allow?Chorus:
I'm thinking about thinking
Knowing that it's not to my choice
It's all about manipulation
And why on earth you are fol-low-ing blindly?
When was the beginning
When was the start
Was it the flower
Or was it the bud
No end to this enlightening world
Shall cease this chapter
We cannot know the burr
Within thy essence latter
To think of time
To think of distance...away
Of all that speculation
Who can know what lives ahead?
Can you start the day
Believing that gloom
Is made by yourself
In peace
In the evilest of towers
The pale face of the witches cracked
A drip from the tops
A drip from the pops
The rivers, along meanders
Screaming that there'll be a fiesta
But who can assure that this will work
They say. They say. Who's to prove it?
Groping for keys by the sundial
Writing letters by the candlelight
A guest in a jail
Smiling at the ironical things of life bright
Oh it's ironic, ironical.
Time is upon us as we deny
The mortality and sanity bequeathed by pasts
Destroyed.
In fragile strands
We know all about time and the turnings of thinking
Dumbledore was thy
Zooming from nought to 100
Wasn't he naught?
As people creep and moan and sigh
The thinker of thinkers
The thinking of thinking
Has been chosen and proven as us.
**this poem requires serious reading through/between/above/below the lines---none of the above is literal, but rather it hides deeper meaning. Seek and you shall find.

The day grows cold with the new air of dawn. In front of the computer sits one. In the silence of the morning, a car rolls outisde.
Though the morning is still young, though the birds have yet to come, the one in front sits in gloom...
It's been close to one week since my last post. Yet, many things have happened, many things which are unplanned, uncertained.
I've taken back chinese test papers, geography test papers, physics test papers, and soon enough, the chemistry test papers. I've even done a biology presentation.
Yet, somehow I feel I've let myself go wild, let myself down. How come I just simply can't do this properly?
haiz...
This weekend, the teachers haven't been nice. They've been piling homework. It's not helping that there are CID stuff and guides stuff to do...
I thought august was supposed to be the better months. It seems otherwise. and the November and December holidays are starting to be packed full again, even when it's 3 months away. What is THIS?
I really don't know what is the world coming to. Glum and Moody.

we-ell...today's monday again, and it's time to chiong for the week ahead...
1st up: Wednesday: Chem calculations test, Physics practical test, then NRP meeting
2nd: Thursday: Biology presentation and English Test
wow.
anyway, we are most probably going to get back those chinese papers soon...all the rest of the classes are getting their's back already. I really don't want to see it. Cause I think I failed it.
and anyway geography. honestly, I didn't think I'd do THAT bad. oh wells. At least I'm not too bottom yet. I didn't fail. To those out there who did, jiayouxx! I believe you all can pull yourselves up again...
and maths. 3 qn. Mr Ong said if we could do them, we learnt finish logarithms. WooHoo. I'm proud to say I solved it. In school somemore! (:
I also cannot believe that I actually kicked the VitaSoy habit. I'm just ok now with once-per-week or something like that. I finally can live without it!!! ahhas. but I'm still on milo (: [[OKOK. I know that it sounds as though I'm on steriods or something. LoL.milo IS addictive ok...]]
Oh. and here's my inner thoughts.
You thought that you could kill our spirit?
Friendships are stronger than anything.
Kinship is stronger.
Now I've got that out, it's bedtime. Nites everyone!
***to beryl...storytime maybe over the weekend (:***

Aww...Look...here's hassie (white one) and helter(black one) together.
Was so bored today that I actually went to edit their picture...
How Sweet right?
Ahhs. here's the irony. Hassie may look calm and demure, but in real life, she's a running cheetah, always trying to rush away from human life, then creeping slowly back to the cage later to get a sunflower seed or two.
Helter. Ahhs. Helter's been dubbed as the 'biting' one. nibble nibble nibble. In the past week, my fingers will not even suffice to count the number of times I've been nibbled. Now I've resorted to using a pair of rubber gloves when handling her. Rough and Wild, Helter is.
Well. Life's good at home with the Princess (Hassie) and the Pauper (Helter). Just came back from playing with them and taking photos of them. Gee...they are SO cute (:
On a HIGHER note, Val's won the speech contest. Whoohoo. (:
and there is marching tmr! how fun!
and there is a 5day National Day Holiday lined up from wednesday to sunday. Can't wait!
Current mood is SUPER HIGH (:
So yea, I'll stay cheery, coz there is no homework today too :P

I just don't really know how to phrase this, but it really seems as though suddenly, everything doesn't matter at all.
I look at the biology paper. I feel no pain, no feelings at all. I look at the chinese paper. I laugh it off. I look at the physics paper. I don't seem to care what happens anymore.
As one experiences the meaning of life, suddenly all these tini-tiny little things don't matter at all.
Back to the million dollar question. What is life? What is it we live for?
Reading a book I just came across suddenly jerked me alive. What do we live for? These ideals of life are hidden in almost everything we do. Ichigo claims that we live to protect the others. Enid Blyton books claim that we live to collect friendship. Catherine Lim books claim that we live to make the best of everything, although troubles almost always occur.
So. What is life for me? That was the question I've asked myself many a times. I came up with this conclusion. I live my life to achieve my goals, to think positively and live life to the fullest, for I've been given the chance to live.
This past week has been filled with endless stuff, both good and bad. My only hope is to push myself to the fullest and live a fulfilling week this week.
For as a famous man once said, "You cannot change the past, but you can control your future..."
Mixed Feelings
Billion years ago
I left you as the wind soared
Sometimes I asked myself
Why on earth I let you go
Why I didn't care
Why I didn't know
What have you done
Looking about the ways around
Keeping calm as the waves
Knowing I can
The traffic lights down the streets
Turning blue of tomorrow
Shining glitteringly on the mirror
The tiny island in the distance
Will the storms remember the sun
Will the beasts trampled us past
Will the world spin higher
Will the people's names ever ring fast?
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the melting doom
For whether we are here or there
We can creep down and change the world
So long as we believe
Mixed nuts rising up the shore
Big nuts dropping to the floor
Peanuts crying "I don't know!"
Nuttiness engulfs the world
A broom is sweeping up those pieces
A pail is holding all yesterday's rain
But somewhere, sometime,
Feelings don't exist anymore
Creeping yells sala-dah-dooda
How can I change the words of yesterday?
How can I make the ships change bay
How can I ensure I don't repeat?!
I've just got this post dramatic thing
Don't know what I'm saying
Just know I've got this tattoo from the past
Telling me I've gotta live and dream...
I'm living and dreaming
Shooting for the stars
But somehow somewhere
Feelings are mixed and gone
Dooda-Doodi-Da
I've got only the shell in my dreams
But I'll be shooting for No.1
Climbing the ropes to success
doodaadoodeeay Somehow, I don't get it and somehow I know I gotta try. Maintaining that positiveness. Forever.
