Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,
it's about learning to dance in the rain. --Unknown--

Independence day speech in Japanese accent (English Lesson)
Hee hee hee. This is damn funny especially when he says (or attempts to say) the word 'survive'. Extra credit for being so enthusiastic though *note the fist pump*

So. Three events since the last time I blogged. 1) O level Orals : I made them laugh! Yay! Picture was so utterly screwed. And with conversation, it was way better than prelim orals. The topic was shopping~ only Singaporean's national pastime. Conv. Q1: Describe the last time you went shopping. I just made up some bullsh!t about going to Parkway with my mum (Damn popular choice. Most of us either said Parkway or outing with ours mothers) Made them laugh when I said something about my mum going to Marks and Spencer's to get my dad clothes because apparently men can't buy their own underwear. I felt like giggling madly too. A little stereotypical but both examiners were women so I thought they'd be able to relate to it.
2) Prelim papers (SS, HMT, Eng) : I saw the merger question and I was going "YES YES YES!" and pumping my fist. Actually everything I spotted except Venice came out so I was lucky in that sense. I heard that a lot of classes knew that Birth of Nations was coming out and not Venice, oh well. HMT sucked. I did some compo about courage and I thought it was quite good. Turns out I didn't read the question properly. They asked for a narrative essay and I gave them a discussive(and a little bit of narrative) essay. Fucking stupid man. I wanted to give myself a good tight slap but that would have seemed odd so I settled for whining. The way I'm whining now. English..well...I liked my essay. I did "Prejudice"-got a good feeling about this. But summary was...killer. It really was. I'm used to having 20-30 minutes after finishing everything to take a nap or check through my answers over and over again but this time I was scramblingtill the last second. Hopefully the marks for my essay will help even things out. Getting an A1 for English is essential. It's not even an option for me.
3) Teachers' Day : One word really. Overrun. Thought it was really poorly organized as compared to last year. Aces workout was damn fun even though I was quite irritated by the unenthusiastic person in front of me. Like hello? I just asked you to move a few steps forward so I wouldn't have to worry about accidently hitting you. I didn't ask for anything drastic like cutting off a finger. Get a grip..seriously.
Singapore Idol :JOAKIM IS OUT! FINALLY!Singaporeans have regrown their ears~ It's amazing! On a sadder note, Ryan (The Dark Horse) Star was booted off Rockstar Supernova. Damn. He was one of my favourites. At least there's some consolation found in the fact that the contestants left in that competition are extremely talented.
Wrote another poem yesterday. This one is in a format I've never really tried before.
Drowned
I am drowning now... can anyone hear me? I am dying somehow... will someone miss me? Gasping desperately flailing, clawing, futile hands Wailing silently there's too much I don't understand. Lingering bubbles of air From here, everyone looks so minute Lungs collapsing there my gurgled screams seem mute The water rushes in I know not what to do It fills me from within Has the life I've led been true? Red dots are exploding... here inside my mind Thoughts are retreating... I'm running out of time I wish I told him how I feel I wanted to be more than a friend Now it'll never happen, never be real at least the agony will end Final moments have arrived the time to live has passed So this is the end of my life now peace will come at last.
Edit//: Argh. Blogspot won't let me do it in the format I typed it out in. Ah what the hay. Read it as it is, then read the odd and/or even alternate lines if you have nothing better to do.

ZOMG. Saw Li Nanxing andZoe Tay filming at my condo area~ Went to my balcony to watch a little and Li Nanxing spotted me, smiled and waved! Ah so embarassing--I was still in my nightgown~ Luckily only the upper body was visible. What to do? I just waved back and retreated.
LNX kept going: "你神经啊？我是说你搬到我家来住。(Are you crazy? I meant for you to move to my house) ZT: something something..你还欠我三百块！(You still owe me 300 bucks) then she stormed off I'm quite happy. The King and Queen of Caldecott Hill haven't starred together in a Channel 8 drama serials since...a long time. The last one I can remember was 'The Unbeatables III' but I didnt watch it. Soo...I think I might actually watch theirs! From a rough guess I'd say it will come out either the end of this year or next year- just a heads up!
This isnt actually the first time my condo has been chosen for filming drama serials. Fann Wong came by a few years ago and I got her autograph. It's already lost by now though. My maid has actually spotted them filming at other parts of my condo. Perhaps if they come by again, I'd get their autographs..
Of course, I won't be wearing my nightgown then.

zany
Had a heck load of fun at ECP today. 4e9 won the Zany Parade! Woo~ everything came together nicely and it's great to know that we didn't stay back for 3 days just for nothing.
Loved the cheer but I especially loved these 2 portions. SH: We're gonna bring you down down down down down ... (Cue villains flailing our arms and bending our knees inThe Matrixstyle and plonking down our butts unceremoniously onto the grass) 4e9~~~DIVINE NINE!(Diagonal "Heil Hitler" Double-Handed Salute. Ms Saffiah'd better be proud of us. )
The prize sucked but that didn't matter much. Kudos to the runners who tried their best even though the positioning was so screwed up. Double Kudos to the talented people who choreographed and made up the cheer~ For some strange reason, I kept obsessing over the eyeliner...lol. Let's just leave the thick eyeliner to the Malay girls- they looked great.
Got a lift back from Bhavna (who got so frigging high for her MT paper) 's dad. Managed to walk back in time thankfully. Cause two minutes after passing through the door, it started to pour in earnest. I find it rather sad that this was our last Zany Parade. The only time we can humiliate ourselves publicly and not give two hoots about it...The last time we can have fun as a school before the dreaded exams. The ZP is probably one of the best ideas TKGS had ever had.
Was being in a reflective mood in a recent A Maths Class and that means....a poem~ Not a personal fan of this one though. It's repetitive and rather cliched and the flow sucks but oh well.
Runaway
I'd run away from the world today Escape into the sky It would be better than hearing News where the innocent die
I'd run away from the world today Escape to who-knows-where It would be better than dealing with Life that's so unfair
I'd run away from the world today Escape to places never traipsed before It would be better than witnessing The results of mindless wars
I'd run away from the world today Escape to wherever truth could still remain It would better than knowing people kill Each other again and again and again
I'd run away from the world today Escape and never look back It would be better than distinguishing The fiction from the fact
I'd run away from the world today Escape - the dream eluding my outstretched hand It would be better if the horrors of the world remain something I could never understand
P.S: WE WEAR RED RED UNDERWEAR!
