I am rude so what?
To recap the entire week, I had a nice enriching week, with a lot of homework.I found out from talking to Dr teo ho pin and Mr Lim from alumni, that you dont really have to be such an overachiever in JC. Try to have fun. I guess to some point it is quite comforting, that there is life after a levels, even if you dont get the 4as. But then my mom, had to go and burst the bubble of nirvana - some people just have it. You know, that person who seems to have it all to make it through life, the luck, the looks, the uncanny ability to meet the right people. So you will have to work doubly hard to get anywhere, while they dont. They are not "bad" people, sometimes, they are really nice people, who make you think that they deserve their luck. You cant really plan to be that way, it either happens or it doesnt. The balance of life.
I suddenly realised that I havent spoken to my father for weeks/ages. It should be about 2 weeks. Not a single word. I suddenly just realised that. That's why I hate everything about my life that takes me away from family - it is just not worth it. To think, if i didnt get into IP, I would probably be in some international school in China, doing ahem, IP-ish stuff, and not having to go to J1.Life is not so bad you know, take the SATs and hopefully get into a good college in America. So yes, the j1 life have made me realised how BLOODY lonely i am, I have no one at all. At home, I have no one at all. At co, I refuse to be with anyone. Saving grace would be council. And I have decided not to be the loser who runs 3 times, but the up and coming council seems better, more in tune with whatever the mandate was.
Anyways, tomorrow I am going for my niece's 1 month celebration on earth, called man yue. Her name, hold your breath, is called Anya chloe ________ __________ desilva. (Insert indian name.) I am really thankful that my parents decide to call me ____ _ ___, short, sweet, easy to write, easy to spell. Anyways, I have already came up with names to call my sons and daughters.
Daughter - Eeze, Ethene (came up with it during chem last year), Emma (the most used name in America), Effie (dreamgirls)
Son - Elijah, Elliad, E0(stands for E-not, dont you think it would be cool, and my boy would have like a 30s lead during tests), Eefe (if i name the girl effie,i can name the boy eefe)
chinese names - for the husband to decide or the parents. Either ways, the child is going to have a really funny chinese name.
HAve a GrEAT weekend.
it'll be over in a minute

Pineapple tarts, kueh bangkit.
I am going to devote whatever energy is left of me to trying to make the perfect pineapple tart. And sell it. So my dearest mother wont have to spend $1 per pineapple tart. And I can make it in acceptable batches, not like 1 box, who is going to eat? I end up eating everything. And I am going to make the goodies that only I want to eat, so I wont have to stuff my face with random goodies. Worse off, some of them are made in china. So...dont want to think about that.School should be fun, I tried my hardest today to have fun.But I ended up falling asleep.
And yes, then there is valentines day. Woo hoo, I have decided to be extra big budgeted this year. And bake for like everyone! And just go valentines day crazy! And I hope my cookies will be really pretty, toying with some ideas that does not require chocolate but lots of flour.

I really hate J1.Okay so there is no point calling it IP3, cause it doesnt mean anything to me. It means something to be called IP2 and IP1.
I really really hate J1.
7 reasons why J1 sucks
1) The screwed up timetable.
I would like to state that I really admire and have pure respect for the timetabling committee but the timetable really just sucks. Free periods = waste time. And I have alot of those.
2) The common lunch break
IP3 + J1s = sluggish, uncomfortable,warm lunch
And yes, the food gets sold out so fast that there is really little left to eat or rather no choices to choose from.
3) The teachers
I know, I know, dont judge me, but the teachers treat us like kids. It is so frustrating that they dont get us. IP people are supposed to go against the flow, but there is going against the flow and then there is just pure tiredness.Pity the 2 always gets confused. The teachers think we are being rebellious but really...we are just suffering from exhaustion.
4) The lack of general warmth
I spent most of my time roaming around school alone. "Class" is just a word used to group of people together, I dont spend anymore time with anybody else. I understand the need for MP3s to fill the void. We dont talk to much in our tutorial groups, cause the end of lesson chatter is replaced by the panic to get out of the classroom to go to the next lesson.
5) The floating system
I just float by. Just float by. I am not going to complain about the distances, but it is really lonely and not fun.
6) The no nonsense attitude
It really sucks away everything. I feel so depressed,I feel so defeated everyday. I understand why people want to pon school, why someone would join a gazillion ccas. Because it is so freaking boring!
I hate it, I really do, everyone in my class hates it. I miss you, I hate only seeing you at the busstop,I hate missing you for lunch,I hate wondering around,I hate not looking forward to school,I hate being too tired for council.I hate it. I really really do.
I hate my subject combi - ok, i finally realised why people should be interested in whatever subjects they take.
Anyways, I will try to give myself new hope and adapt...because as to quote from Grey's anatomy
CAUSE THAT'S WHAT JESUS WOULD FREAKING DO!

my head hurts really bad.really really bad. I would feel better if it was a fever coming down or something. But no, I just checked and dang, I have a headache.A really really bad headache. I had it since yesterday during mel's party (Happy 17th Melly: thanks for letting me poke your thingy and thanks for being a great sitting partner).
Spent a day, well half of it the other half I was sleeping, studying chemistry. Spent whatever was remaining checking mail,I dont plan to do any council related stuff till monday. So I have like 2 more hours to go.
Orientation was same old same old. I cant really go out and proclaim: Orientation is damn fun man! I did so many new stuff I have never done before. Ok, this is probably the first orientation where everything was wet weather, so i guess that is something new. I cant believe tomorrow I start my first lecture - damn I feel so grown up and I get to wonder around school, around and around. Something tells me that we would spent more time than we should in the library. Ok, and another thing, I would be spending tons of time in school, sucks siah. only free day, thursday and sunday.SUCKS SIAH.
Anyways here's to 2 years - lets get it over and done with and get out before we get too overly attached. (which sad to say, I think i am) looking forward to adult fare transportation. looking forward to getting driving license, but not the car. looking forward to looking forward.
My head hurts really bad.
I would like to thank the 39th student council for their hard work. And Ideas committee for being so kind and loving to the packages and to station games.To the rubbish comm. for the ultimate sai kang. To zhiwei for clearing up the vomit in the girls toilet. (Some asshole girl seriously missed the toilet bowl. To the boon lay zone masters: chor hwee,fazial,ernie for being great company and teaching me how to buy textbooks.(haha)
Here's to the last orientation of MY JC life.

A day of ultimate slackness
I slept really early last night, like 5 to 8. It was after walk in rehearsal and OG lunch. Then I couldnt fall asleep till 1. I woke up at 1030, ate breakfast, went up to read harry potter!Ate lunch and watched CSI/One Tree Hill - i like to change the channels. Then read harry potter, did a mask(haha, I am addicted to masks, my new year resolution remember?)I slept somemore.Then went to research on UNIs and the various things I need to do for uni application.Bathed,ate dinner.Checked email,council stuff.Watched catch me if you can/desperate housewives/some chinese show.Great Day! I know it sounds super boring but it is actually super exciting! For a tv addict anything is great when she/he is at home.
Tomorrow I return theodora's prison break.
Glad to have a common show interest with dad,I really dont mind watching half of season 2 with him again. Reading harry potter was competely random choice it was between - some medical book, the bible and harry potter the order of the phoenix. So i choose harry potter.
Anyways, I have decided to throw away my obsession with wentworth miller. Though I really admire him: He is from princeton. For ten years, he temped and while struggling with acting! I mean I wouldnt wait as long as he has.
Tomorrow is walk in! Second time round, I feel so much more scared, but I dont feel the heavy heart of worries at all. Last year, i was super happy when walk in was over. I think I still suck at counting music.
watch gimlim when he dances - he's like super hot!He shakes and everything.

Me and my prison break.If you havent heard I am addicted.
My favourite episode of season 1 would be "My brother's keeper". Yes, the one that just showed on channel 5. Followed by " English, Fritz or Percy".
Got scolded my Stacy Tan for talking about prison break with sarah. I know as an exco member an all, my behaviour is supposed to be exemplary.
Sadly the only thing i am looking forward next week, would be seeing some seniors coming back. Hopefully, they would be too caught up in slacking or working. I really miss them.
The funniest thing today?
Me: Jon what do you know about SATs?
Jon: Nothing, just type in SATs on google.
Me: OK ...(cold laugh)
I know it doesnt really sound funny, but...if you know jon...
wentworth miller isnt gay!!!!

The worst first day of school ever!
Today, as the title says: Is the worst first day of school in my entire life. To be fair, it is not really in a new and exciting environment, but rather a old and well, droopy one. But it was quite cool to see everyone, yes i mean everyone, and chit-chat, slack and eat, which may I mention is what I dont want to do for my JC life, cos I know a lot of people do it. And yes, I did what I did best gossip! Anyways I have made some observations between JC and IP, we are quite hyper and the JC people just seem so tired and droopy all the time. We talk really fast like hundred miles per second and they reply at a slower much more calming speed. But it ticks me off lah. I was telling myself to speak slower but I could control it, I was so excited that I was going to burst!Spent my time in the German Room. Attended my first mock econs lesson. Yup, that sums up the day. Went home at five. The best thing that happened today? I realised that theodora had prison break season 2 and she's going to lend me the disc tml!
My internet is kinda down, I can only access blogs and email. The rest super lag, or the window cant even open. So yes, I was checking out my dream unis, to decide whether to change my subject combi. And I cant! I only got through half the list. And the list wasnt long. Anyways what i realised was that most of the top universities offer some form of financial aid. So maybe I can apply for that if I can get in. Then money wont be the issue. And nope, deicded against changing my subject combi, I will try my hardest to love PCME. My hardest. I actually think it is not the P,M or E that will give me problems, but rather my C.
So i plan to go down this week to ern sheong's and mr tan's favourite store in the world: POPULAR to stock up on some much needed assessment books and reading material. I know so mugger right? I plan this year to be the ultimate shamless mugger,I'll be so pro in mugging that I have no choice but to reclaim my throne back as the "Mugger President". Sadly, you might think that my new year's resolution is to get like 4As or something. But I actually aim to be pimple free this year, to lose weight, to exercise more, to grow taller, to eat healthier.
OK but most importantly not to get too stressed. (some of you may think that I am overly concerned, but trust me it is valid) When I get stressed i get:
- pimples
- rashes
- constipation
- sick
-stomachache
It was escalated this year. I think mainly because of council - the rashes were like no joke. And yes, sad to say, being stressed makes me cry. Which may I recount to why i cried during physics paper last year, it was because it was so bleak. I had to stop work at 11 to start stressing about council comm. allocation and then an early morinng meeting. I had headache and everything and to totally conk out during physics, to stare at the paper blindly and to feel so trapped it was just sad lah. But i didnt fail, which I think it is a miracle lah.
All the best for 2 weeks of O week.
Ok i know i cant say this because i am a councillor and stuff. But i really want to feel how it is like to pon school. Like to just walk out without a care in the world. Or to goto estivo or something.
