I volunteer to organise the next hkconference gathering! With some others of course.

Anyone for an rj-style party? Where chips are replaced by black forest ice cream, and topics being anything under the world! And more comfortable seats haha.

Whatever it is, black forest ice cream is a must! Amah has revealed that she gets drunk on black forest ice cream - I wanna see it!

Publicity

2007-10-24T22:33:00.000+08:00

Hi all! Hope everyone's still alive. I've not poster here in ages so thought I might use this plae for a little publicity =D

Below is the poster for a January concert. =D

Thanks!

Poh

now that most stuff are over...

2007-10-21T21:17:00.000+08:00

right, with the exams firmly stuffed to the back of my mind and pw's end is in sight (finally!), i can finally start thinking about gathering...

i guess, judging from the lack of objection (or perhaps, simply a lack of activity and visitation to this blog?) that the venue is more or less confirmed at my place, and that some of the activities will be monopoly, bridge and general crapping?

so... which leaves zee most important detail. time and date? bbq or potluck?

i'm thinking about a time frame of between 26 nov and 7 dec. i would prefer potluck since the year-end's weather is uber uber unpredictable. but, yes, we're a democratic society, so please, don't hesistate to speak up. comments and suggestions would be lovely. majority will rule.

so, break out of that shell of silence and comment~~

~amah

2007-10-15T18:32:00.000+08:00

Li Hui's prod made me laugh =\ was it some way to make the blog come alive again!

Anyway, gathering, gathering. I propose early dec, amah's house, bbq, meet earlier to get the stuff. Monopoly afterwards if we're really bored. But mmm, back to basics! Or something.

I'm tired. This may be my shortest post. Hmm...

2007-10-10T22:47:00.000+08:00

The Nanyang Secondary 4'07 exams have ENDED. E-N-D-E-D, ENDED!

I'm high, ooh yes, I'm high. -throws random stuff up into the air- HOORAY.

Anyway, tales! I'm afraid they wouldn't be as good as when I talked about the day it happened... jokes get stale you know. Sadly. (Where's yinghao when you need freshly baked jokes? NOWHERE)

So: LA Paper. We have an SRQ section, in which you compose your response to an article. Yes. So the article was on elitism, and it mentioned how dictionary.com defined it. And a dear friend of ours, was trying to argue that different people perceive words differently. Now, there was a fine selection of words she could have chosen. Mug for one, or perhaps the definition of democracy in North Korea (did I get my facts right...), just something along those lines!

But noooo, the girl had to recall that a fag means a smoke to the british. And then deduce that faggot meant cigarette to the British. And thus write in her essay, "Faggot means gay to the Americans, and cigarette to the British."

Besides the fact that it's the word faggot, faggot certainly does not mean cigarette to the British, or the Americans for that matter. But the greatest problem is...

Her name is on the paper.

You can imagine how much of a stress reliever that incident was. Perhaps it's not that funny, but at that point in time, after the nerve-wracking paper, it was sheer sheer bliss.

Hope the rest of you all are doing fine yep!

2007-09-21T20:18:00.000+08:00

I shall be more sincere than Justin Poh and wish you all good luck with a blog entry!

(See poh, this is called killing two birds with one stone. Wish everyone good luck and increase blog entries count!

But yes people, jiayou!

And if you're feeling sorry for yourself, be glad you don't have a fever right now. Current body temp a fever of 38.2 celsius! Whee...

2007-09-06T13:08:00.000+08:00

Now to all you ignoramus, today's Justin Poh's birthday!

Yes. The hippoh. The guy who's been there for every gathering. The guy who has been the ONLY guy who's a frequent blogger on this blog. Well... quite frequent. Still can't beat me! Ah. Oops. Shouldn't have said that on your birthday. But yea! Only guy who blogs frequently! That's quite an achievement.

Happy Birthday Poh! May the new year bring more mud, more threats to push you into the pool, and a bigger play area! Wheeee.

`Rebecca

2007-09-04T00:05:00.000+08:00

Partly because this blog needs some updating... partly because Jia Xin reminded me about it...

Happy Birthday Wei Seng!

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye".

Have a good year ahead indeed!

And ain't it someone's else birthday on Sept 6 too? Hmmmm. I do wonder who..

Would someone care to give a clue?

whee~ 3rd centennial has been reached! earlier than i expected. guess thats one of the reasons why i totally missed it. heh.

mm... my latest addiction has grown. and grown it has! i'm planning to watch the show again. 12-13 years since i last watched it. and i found a fellow fan! in CY of all people!(no offence, but i just didn't really view you to be a TF fan xD)

oh man.. my mum recently commented, "why are you interested in transformers anyway, isn't it kind of a guys show?"

ahh... guess i prefer action shows to romance, ie guys shows to girls shows. i'd take power rangers over barbie thank you.

o.o ok... another post that doesn't makes sense from meagain. or at least, there's a general lack of coherence.

People, people, people, people
do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
realise what has, what has taken place!
People, people, people, people
(Inspiration from the chorus in "Ruby" by Kaiser Chief)

People, we have all just missed a significant moment in history! "What, what!" I hear you all say. You all have just let the THIRD CENTENNIAL of the blog slip you by! But take heart, there is still a second chance, for it is not too late to celebrate. Yes people, I command you all to dance!

-imagery of mass dance appears in everyone's mind to torture them-

Okay, so maybe NOT dance, but yes people, pop the champagne and pass the chips! It's a joyous occasion... GOAL!

ahem. Yes, before this craziness continue, let's give a short history on how the realisation of reaching the third centennial hit us. So I was just commenting to Poh online whether I should post another light-hearted, but kinda crude story up. His comment was that it was up to me, followed by a remark that it would probably make the blog hit its 3rd centennial, which of course elicited a most surprised exclamation from me. Upon checking, WOW, we have already reached the 302th post -insert girly squeals!-

So now, 302 entries would mean that Poh has made the 300th entry. But then, I recalled that we actually have TWO drafts saved in the blog, one by Poh, and one by me. Upon the epiphany that the count might include those two drafts, I hurriedly confirmed this suspicion, and yes, it HAD!

Now here's the problem. Who exactly made the 300th entry then! Is it Poh, or is it me. Do we discount the drafts or not! I of course immediately subscribed to empiricism here, and said that going by what you can SEE on the blog, the 300th entry was by me and not Poh! On the other hand, we've always been counting drafts. What a dilemma!

Hahaha, but Poh, being the kind gracious gentleman of a hippoh he is, just gave me the honour.

(In truth though, he really thought that it was just quite cool to have the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd centennial posts maker all nanyang girls. Heee.)

But nah, never mind. Going by what we've always done in the past, Poh is the rightful entry-maker, so he can have it. Besides, I think it's cooler to have the record of most entries (don't anyone dare cough, I know it's true =D), yet without a centennial to my name! Wheee!

Besides, if there was one REALLY sad thing, it was this: just as we decided which's the 3rd Centennial post, amah went offline, so we couldn't inform her. HAIYA amah!

4 blogs, are hard to maintain.

Well technically it's only 3 blogs, since one of them has been permanently in "coming soon" mode so far. Still!

But I realised that the entries on my newly created livejournal, are the type of entries I used to type on hkconference too.

Is there some kind of nifty html that would allow whatever I blogged on my livejournal to be shown here in this blog? XD It'll save trouble.

Meanwhile, I think I'll paste my entries from there over! Just scroll down to read if you're feeling bored.

`Rebecca

2007-08-22T23:33:00.000+08:00

So there has been some changes in life.

The use of "some" may be an understatement. But here's a list: New house. (Finally, no more white walls in my own room at least!) New bus to take to school. New dining tables and chairs. New beds. New cabinets. And, an exciting one - a new addition to the my house's family of tech gadgets, in the form of a Sony Vaio.

I'm rather dismayed by the fact that it only has a touchpad, because I am used to using a pointing stick rather than a touchpad to control my cursor. I think pointing sticks are far easier to use too =\ but I'll get over it I guess. Besides it is a pretty sleek notebook. And with windows vista installed too - first time I'm using it, and it seems pretty cool so far. Now to just get my cousin over and I'll question him about the bloatware that is apparently on this computer, and then we're set for a whole lifetime!

Erm. Part of a lifetime at least.

I'm a little enamoured with laptops and notebooks I think. The sleekness of design, etc etc. Sony does its salespitch really really well.. Made one felt so cosy and all. Then again I have not checked out the other brands of computers, but mm. It was interesting to see such tech gadgets being described as people almost - sexy (or in one case "sexy underlip" - I laughed when I saw it), understated, classy, best buddy etc. I'm clogging up my brain with irrelevant useless vocabulary! Oh dear...

On the topic of new though, there was a new smell in the air when I walked back home. The new smell of damp moist soil being dug out - except in this case it brought with it not hope of a new harvest, as of tilling and sowing, but somberness and a slight depression because it was a construction site, where grass and even trees shall be uprooted, great leafy living branches falling to the ground, and the pouring in of cold hard grey cement.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against progress. I'm not against the building of a new school. And I don't deny the beauty of certain structures - I myself love the dizzy-fying height of tall buildings, of looking down, way down from the 40th floor and seeing everything spread out before you, almost like your very own empire (conqurer's dreams? haha nah I don't think so) It's just.. a little sad. Isn't out landscape full of concrete enough?

Oh well.

`Rebecca

Just for Laughs....

2007-08-12T20:07:00.000+08:00

Eh, Livejournal feels different from Blogger. There's a totally different feel to it, somehow. Impressions impressions. It's a fact that that perceptions of different people vary greatly, and I wonder how many share my views.

It probably really just boils down to the way I've been utilising them I guess. So far Livejournal has been a way to connect with other friends. There's a more casual feel, like a friendly conversation. Blogger on the other hand has always been more structured thoughts - as nonchalant I may seem about my entries on Blogger I actually do care for them quite a lot =\ they're not always good entries unfortunately, but I've always tried to put effort into them. It went through various phrases. Playing with plotlines (that died out quick enough), playing with words, trying to translate emotions into different settings, plain venting in an obscure way, and lately recording snippets of my experiences, episode by episode, and some creative non-fiction (or so I would like to think. Haven't really checked out what the genre really refers to). But yes. Blogger has always been associated with efforts, with careful tweaking, with attention to words and description - in short, with deliberation.

I hardly think I'll take the same path with Livejournal. Shall probably post all my random thoughts here. More casual, more relaxed. Which aha, shall mean that this journal shall end up having more entries than my blog. Now that's a thought. Never mind though! Entries on that blog has always been infrequent. Ah yes. An whimsical journal for sudden thoughts and cravings and a blog for matters closer to my heart and yearnings. That could be the acting distinction for now.

On that note, let's proceed to the thoughts that just hit me!

Things I want to do over the weekend:
1. Go swimming tomorrow!
2. Finish homework ><
-math worksheets
-lit assignment on sons and lovers
-chinese ying yong wen
-math portfolio -coughs really hard-

I'm very very enchanted with the idea of treasure boxes. No no no, not the big burly chest of the pirates type (though on second thought those are quite cool too). But just a little wooden box to keep little trinkets, things I think precious, like little gifts from friends, the little accessories I have, and other little stuff that might disappear if you just place it on a shelf.

Ah, there I go dreaming again!

`Rebecca

2007-08-02T23:31:00.000+08:00

Yes I've succumbed. Yielded to the the desire and curiosity to read those friends-only blogs, those pages that teased you with the words, "friends only". Someone once told me that emotion becomes an influence. I was silent, but it was the silence that comes from agreement, knowing he had put into words what I had been grappling with, and there was no need for me to say anything else.

But obviously influence comes in many different forms. Some come clothed in red, a lusty blood-red, with kissable mouths, plump and full. Their tantalising musky spicy perfume speaks a language of its own - siren calls of thrills and excitements, highs and careless laughter. Naughtily melodious, even deadly some may say. But the wise will discern it as danger, and run far away, back into the arms of the One who can deliver from temptation.

Some dress themselves in black, tightly. So bad it's good to the deluded mind. Rich and sinful, seemingly harmless at first. "It's just a little chocolate!" the little voice utters. "You know you want it. Even with a sorethroat. Even with a cough. You want that richness that bursts in your mouth - and it's so awfully little, so very little, just a little, but so much richness you'll get." Fingers reach out and grasp the little round of brown extravagance, and drop it into the open mouth, where an eager tongue welcomes it and indeed it's rich, it's addictive, the way the sweetness hurts as it goes down the sore raw throat and add another dimension to the taste. Oh! You never knew the taste could become fuller like that, and the hand has already reached out for another because... because, the next time you eat it it would be without a sorethroat and you would have little opportunity to experience that taste again.

Ah well, you reap what you sow. Bitter medicine is the reward.

And then we have this, me yielding to another temptation, my curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat they say. Well I'm not a cat, and even if I was I have nine lives, but really, for the life of me, I can't see where this will lead me to, how this form of indulgent luxury would spin out. Would it stay solely as a portal to the thoughts that weaves itself in other minds? Or shall it become one that has occasional entries too? Or shall it become another part of a complicated mesh of my identity and thoughts, something I consider and weigh as I think about purpose and meaning? The end is unclear... Time's water has always been murky.

But at least, right now, in the beginning, I can declare clearly that really, the incentive for starting a livejournal was to read the journals of others.

Now let that be a reminder, if one day I'm ever lost.

`Rebecca

finally, a breather..

2007-08-02T21:25:00.000+08:00

Finally. A small break, time for a breather. The past week has been so hectic... I'm sleeping later than I've ever had and for the first time, actually falling asleep during lecture >.< bad bad amah. Is going to hafta do a lot of catching up at home.

Life is getting so... terrible? Tests are crashing down one after another. Chem, Math, Bio project, upcoming econs, and preparation for promos. Oh. and not to mention... PW. Damn I really want to just take PW into my hands, crush it, tear it and mangle it to beyond recognition. RAWR.

Oh well, shall stop whining.

Waking up to an inky blackness,
Panic arises that shudders and creaks.
A careless touch, so silent and soft,
Sends me over, exploding and cracking.

An empty shell of memories,
mark the end of time.

My my my! What a dead blog.

My energies are pretty much burnt - I have hardly enough creative energy to compose an entry (not like there was much in the first place). However, a friend of mine has kindly agreed to allow me to post his piece of brilliance here.

Thank Yi Sheng if you found it good. Feel free to throw tomatoes at him if you didn't.

Presenting to you all, "Clown"

Clown

It was a birthday party. A happy, happy party filled with the joy and laughter of those who are involved in this celebratory event. This celebratory event of a centennial birthday in an old folk’s home.

The subject, the key person, the birthday old biddy of the event was sitting in the middle of the room, on top of a worn and torn rocking chair. Grinning a toothless grin, she tossed her mop of white hair, and drooled all over her napkin. Surrounding her were her friends, all sad, lonely old people, clapping their hands to pointless songs in a meaningless language; listening to a tune, beating time to a rhythm that only they know.

There were few others who were present. Two young, innocent, naïve boys helping out in the serving of the food to the helpless old; a couple of adults who stared on proudly at the party which they organized. Little did they know that what they were taking pride in was nothing more than a logistical mess and nightmare. However, they remained blissfully in ignorance.

A clown stood on top of a platform, dressed in a stereotypical clown costume, along with the ridiculous wig and the sloppily painted smile. Blowing large round balloons, he grinned back a lopsided grin towards the old woman.

It was a happy, happy occasion. Nothing more than a usual, normal and stereotypical birthday party.

Then all hell broke loose.

The clown yanked a mike stand towards him and placed it closer towards him. With a grin that spoke of the depths of his insanity, the clown laughed. Not a jolly ho-ho-ho, not a friendly laugh, but rather that of a malicious cackle that seemed to belong to an over-the-top movie villain.

The clown stopped laughing to wipe a tear fro his eye, before proceeding to speak into the mike. A nasal voice that hit the range of falsetto; an unfitting voice for so large a body.

“What’s this I have in my right hand?” The clown grinned, glancing anticipatingly at his audience. A sad bunch of drooling old folks. Better than nothing.

“A balloon!” The crowd roared, thinking that it was a game. Sad, sad bunch of old folks.

“Now what’s this I have in my left hand!” The clown’s grin grew wider.

“A needle!” The crowd roared back, clearly enjoying themselves.

“Now what happens if I bring both of them together!” The clown let loose another barrage of cackles.

“The balloon will pop!” The crowd roared with the satisfaction of a three year old kid finally being able to add one and one to form two.

The clown laughed, “Yes! And When they do… All of you here will get a heart attack!”

“A heart attack!” The crowd mimicked, clearly thinking that this was still part of their make believe game.

“That means you all die!”

“That means we are dead!” The crown yelled. Before a few of them finally realized that something was amiss.

“We are going to die?!” The crowd gasped in disbelief. This clown was threatening to kill them!

“Yes! And what’s better, the cops won’t even know what is the cause of death! So simple and efficient!” The clown cackled once more, apparently enjoying the sound of his annoying voice.

“The cops won’t know!” The crowd grew white with fear. This was a fool proof plan to kill them all! This was a truly evil and devious clown!

“However” The clown said in a smooth, slick, oily voice, “I won’t burst it yet.”

“He won’t burst it yet!” The crowd heaved a collective sigh of relief.

“Unless you people don’t meet my demands.”

“His demands!” The crowd gasped once more. A couple of unfit elderly have already turned blue in their faces.

“All I want.” The clown furrowed his brows, the cogs in his brain whirring frantically. “All I want. Is. Damn. I should have thought of that.”

“He should have thought of that.” The crowd parroted the clown, their brains numbed with the feeling of fear, and the feeling of excitement that they were actually having an adventure for once in their pathetically long lives.

“Silence!” The clown roared. “I want a pie! A large, cream pie!”

“He wants a pie!” The crowd quieted down, a silent hush that settled upon the room. What could this evil, devious genius of a clown want with a pie! Certainly another evil plan!

An adult organizer spoke up, his voice quavering with fear, his kneecaps knocking with fear. Something trickled down his pants. “W-What? You mean you came her-ere for just a p-p-pie?”

“No! Much more better than a pie,” The clown grinned. “A large, cream pie. Different things.”

“A large, cream pie!” The crowd screamed with fear. This was truly a very evil thing! Very fitting for such an evil, devious genius of a clown.

“Now, there is a kitchen at the back! Start baking for me a large, cream pie!” The clown roared; spit flying out of his large, grotesquely painted mouth.

“Bake a pie!” The crowd gasped in horror. This was forced, manual labour! And at their age!

Many moaned about the continuous aches in their backs, their creaking joints, and their falling hair. All sorts of feeble excuses flew in the ambience of the air, yet to no avail, as they were herded by the clown into the kitchen. The fearsome balloon held in his hand still. The evil clown!

“What do you want to do with the pie?” One old elderly managed to scream out, before passing out with a sickening clunk. Something seemed to have broken, and it was definitely not the floor.

“Aah, since it is harmless to tell you, I shall reveal to you people my evil, ingenious plan! So that you people can bake with a peace of heart, mind and soul!” The clown cackled, a burning fire in his eyes, a burning desire. “I shall have a large, cream pie, this I will fill with my evil clownishness! Then I shall paint cute pictures on top of it! People will not be able to resist! And they shall all taste my pie and fall under my evil command!”

“Fall under your evil command!” The crowd took in a collective breath as they heard of this evil genius plan. It was like something out of a ridiculous story! Yet it was so ingenious! So fool proof! It could only be described as brilliant. The clown was truly an evil genius to have thought of such a plan!

As the adult organizers and the two boys were booted into the kitchen, the door was shut with a clang that resounded throughout the kitchen. They were immediately set to work making the fillings of the pie.

The two boys were named Jack and Jones. Jones because Jill was missing at the current point in time. They were young and courageous! They were defeated! But they were not broken! They were like the stereotypical heroes from a cheap movie!

Jack muttered under his breath, “We have to stop the clown, Jones. We have to. If not the clown will take over the world!”

Jones breathed back his reply, looking out for the bobbing presence of the clown. “But he has the balloon in his hand! He will kill us all! And the pie is almost ready!”

Jack and Jones sighed. Was there truly no way to beat this evil clown?!

Suddenly, there was a flash of light! A sound of drum rolls. And a beam of light fell upon a cheese on the counter,

Jack’s hands quivered as he held the cheese up reverently in both of his hands. Jones gasped awestruck, “This is a sign! The cheese must defeat the clown!”

Jack replied, eyes popping “This is so awesome, that it is like some cheesy plot twist in a story!”

A voice came from the heavens as the clouds outside parted. It was directed towards Jack and Jones only.

The majestic voice blasted down like an explosion, an immaculate chorus of angels. “You two children are stereotypically innocent and are thus induced with the power of ignorance and what-so-ever stereotypical coming of age thing. Damn I lost the script. The cheese you have in your hand is a powerful artifact that has been mysteriously placed on a kitchen counter! Use it to defeat the evil clown!”

Jack and Jones dropped to the floor in awe, and lowered their heads in reverence, holding the cheese above their heads.

“Oh, big, majestic voice from above! How do we use the cheese?” They cried out, their voice shrill and high due to them not undergoing puberty yet.

The voice boomed back, even more majestically than ever, if that was possible. “You must find out for yourselves, young ones. Because the story will be made more interesting this way! Now I really have to disappear in a mysterious fashion. Tata.”

The voice vanished, and the light receded as the clouds closed back in.

“No! You haven’t told us any spoilers!” The two boys cried out.

Just at that moment, the oven gave a little ting and the pie popped out, all ready and completed. The clown rushed over and grabbed hold of it. His eyes glistening with a look of childish delight, as he painted pictures of Hello Kitties and Mickey Mice on it.

“No! We must stop him before he is finished!” The two boys rushed forward, the cheese in between them.

“Fools! I have the evil, large, cream pie!” The clown screamed with delight as he held up the large, cream pie defaced with the decorations of cute little pictures. “Behold!”

“Behold….” The crowd gazed on blankly, entranced by the evil pie. They trundled forward with heavy steps, their heads lolling from side to side.

“No! They have become zombies! We must stop the clown!” The boys scrambled up the stage, their nimble limbs providing them with a clear advantage.

The clown gazed in surprised at the two boys. His mouth twisted angrily as he screamed. “How is this possible? How could you not be affected by my evil, large, cream pie! This is not in my calculations! The author must have hidden this detail from me!”

The boys held up their cheese, which was glowing yellow under the light. “Your time has come, evil clown! We shall now proceed to have an extremely cheesy fight on this stage! We shall now pretend that we do not know the outcome of this fight, and fight on due to the fact that the author has a lot of time to write this crap!”

The clown cackled maliciously and held up his pie. “This pie has now been imbued with the power of the balloon! It is more than a match for your cheese! Die!”

The boys stumbled forward, drawn forward by the amazingly cute pictures drawn on the pie.

“No… The pie is too strong… We are losing!” Jack cried.

“Don’t worry! At this point of time, we will suddenly and miraculously understand how to use the full powers of our cheese!” Jones cried back, his feet slipping against the slick floor of the stage.

“Foolish children!” The clown cackled incessantly. “Now I shall laugh and cackle, and enjoy my huge advantage over you! I will delay your deaths in order to gloat over you! Then suddenly, and ridiculously, and for no apparent reason at all, I shall be stripped of this advantage and I will be defeated!”

The boys cried out. Their pathetic voices resonated with the cheese, and the particles of the cheese got excited and start releasing photons, hence the cheese started to glow brightly.

“It is working!” Jones shouted.

“I didn’t expect that at all! We have suddenly realized how to activate the cheese!” Jack cried with excitement.

“Together now!” They held the cheese above their heads and cried out in one voice. “Using the cheesiness of this whole ridiculous business, we shall exorcise the evil out of you!”

The cheese glowed, jumped out of the boys’ hands and blasted through the pie, hitting the clown in the ridiculously painted mouth.

“Noooo! This is impossible!” The clown roared, spitting cheese everywhere. “How could I possibly lose? I shall now die a melodramatic death and thus end this ridiculous story due to the fact that the author is tired!”

The clown was thrown backwards by the immense impact. With a sickening crunch, he fell down from the stage with a sickening crunch and broke his neck.

“Is he- dead?” Jack peered down below.

“I think so.” Jones peered down too,

“Oh yes children! We are finally free from the evil clown’s clutches! The balloon, and the evil, large, cream pie has been defeated alongside with the evil clown!” The crowd cheered. “We shall now proceed to hail you two as heroes and resume the celebration and end off with some cheesy morals like don’t underestimate the powers of little kids who have yet to undergo puberty!”

The boys laughed out with pure joy and relief as they were thrown in the air, below landing and breaking the arms of a few elderly. The boys were now heroes! They have vanquished the evil genius of a clown! How unexpected!

With a final heave, the elderly threw the boys up into the air, whooping with delight. Suddenly, all of them suffered a relapse of Alzheimer’s disease and walked off, forgetting about the issue of catching the boys.

Thankfully, for the boys, there was a bunch of balloons below them to break their falls.

Pop.

Have a good day people!

Hahaha, what a dead blog. I was planning to send my to-do list for next week to my own email or something, but since this blog was so dead, I decided to post it here instead. Haha, anyone want to give a helping hand? XD

Physics SIA - transportation toy model and write-up

Chemistry:

So yes, even if you won't help by like giving me a possible storyline for my xiao shuo, or helping me think of points to include in the outline, or how better to write the math essay on euler, or how I should make that physics transportation toy, or what I should include in the survey questions, at least, and I mean at least, cooperate with me when I ask you which date you would prefer and if bowling is fine!

And oh, it'll be nice if you could do the survey too after it's composed. =D

Have a nice day!

Hi all.. I know i owe this place a post.. as always.. haha. So i shall do what i like to do: post song lyrics! Hope this cheers ppl up! haha.

Song: Everything
Sung By: Michael Buble.

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And You're the perfect thing to say.

And you play your card, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

ok that's it. Bye ppl!

2007-05-29T22:46:00.000+08:00

I seem to have a knack for accidents.

Like the embarrassing chair moments in Hong Kong, and the need for nice kind Ernest to teach me how to get out of my chair...

Right now I'm looking on at a fresh wound on my right middle finger, above the joint above the knuckles (hahaha). And how did I get it?

Oh by carelessly ramming my finger against the table. Mmmm. I'm a smart girl.

For people who are wondering where the c comes in... uh, it was a cut. Yeah.

Thenn, on the same day, I accidentally hit my leg against my chair, and when err, I guess you can call it pulling my leg back, the metal dug into my skin and peeled a little skin off. Just a little. But it hurts, like a blister ><

Bleh.

2007-05-14T21:38:00.000+08:00

mm... i'm guessing most people are done with their mid-years/tests. so it brings us to the 1/2 yearly subject: gathering.

any ideas?

or should we just stick to the one suggested by (was it yinghao?) in may? the one where we meet at city hall and mass invade a fast food outlet?

OR

would anyone like to volunteer to plan? (this old body would like a long long rest. *nods*)

heh

I've just spent the whole morning changing some elements of this blog template I found (for my own blog, not this blog).

It looks fine when you open it on a normal window. But once you try it on a blogger webpage it just doesn't work out! To someone who knows nothing about html, it is very very irritating to have spent a whole morning on a trial and error, guess and try game, thinking she has finally achieved success, only to have all the dreams shatterrr.

I'm frustrated! Shall stop and go off to do physics hmphhh.

On a "lighter" note, the juniors thinks I look mature, neat and spiffy-looking enough to be a teacher when I dress in jeans and a long-sleeved blouse (sleeves rolled up of course). And well! If I actually manage to pass the librarians test (just walked into the library, librarians looked up, and back down, and allowed me to pass without any questions) I guess I must look quite adult like!

The benefits of height. Ahhh.

2007-05-11T22:29:00.000+08:00

2 more weeks! 2 more weeks to the beloved holidays! I don't care if it means i've to start mugging for block tests (which happens the very day school reopens). I need the holidays. totally burnt, tired, stressed.

i shudder to think how term 3 will be...

*shudders*

Inspired by tags.

The problem with blogging really, is that it seemingly seems to require more stamina. Somehow. That HUGE empty white box, and the feeling that somehow it needs to be filled. Gosh, give me a tiny tagboard space, and I can sometimes just spam a lot a lot (Check Li Hui's blog for prime example XD I spam her blog the most)

But yes, I shall paste my tags out here. The blog is really almost dead, but the tagboard is really quite lively! Hooray for lively tagboards. YES they are part of the blog. To me anyway. So technically, this blog is really still quite alive. It is apparently averaging 2 entries per day! And uh... 15 views per day (this is from the cbox stats). So yes, quite lively!

It just boils down whether you want to leave a mark or not I guess. Comments on tagboard just.. pass with time, like footsteps on sand. While blog entries are indentions on wet cement (which kind soul would find pictures of these two for me and edit my entry? haha). Tags would just disappear along with a wave of time, one wash, and it'll disappear, and only the world who has seen it remembers, but the physical mark is gone. Blog entries on the other hand, stay, until someone fixes it.

And to extend the metaphor, be lame and all, I guess we are all having loads of fun at the o-so-sunny beach. Throw the ball over, will you?

`Rebecca

Hi ppl!

2007-05-03T19:09:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Just a quick one in between my physics mugging.. haha. Got bored of mugging physics after doing so much of it. haha.. Hope everyone's doing fine. Somehow I'm not stressed out over my exams... i'm not sure whether i should be worried or not..... o.O. Aniwae... hope you all are well. Hopefully we can all meet up in the beginning of June after the chinese O lvls for those applicable to take the paper. haha.

Best wishes from the hippoh enclosure!

Cheers!

2007-05-01T12:36:00.000+08:00

undeniably sweet and sunny-

"lovingly smoothing our your clothes
letting your fingers run across the material once again
suddenly overwhelmed by love and taking the pile of clothes to hug and smell
and re-smoothing it"

when rebecca actually types that kind of stuff, you know she's in a really really sweet mood ._.

Yea yea I agree with amah, csm was fun! Though ummm. The time spent yesterday AFTER csm was way way way more fun for me. Why? Well, in short...

great egret, cattle egret, sunbirds, changeable lizard, skink, water monitor lizards, pack of scrawny dogs, white-collared kingfisher, tent spiders (pity yimin wasn't there. greater pity that mel wasn't there -evil grin-), MONKEY and and and

SNAKE!

Just ask me if you're confused aha.

random rant

2007-04-30T23:28:00.000+08:00

PW is killing me. And I haven't started on it proper... *stabs PW*

CSM was fun this year, what with the chasing and prodding of people to buy the food, of course, some people chose to run away the instance they saw me :D Hope it cured the hunger pangs of many people XD

mmm... only sad thing is I missed the precision drill (seriously, it's quite good). The thing that pissed me off was random bo liao people who came to the stall and cracked random comments, like "got bak chor mee or ji fan?"

-_-lll

We sell bread and egg tart. Use your eyes people... use your eyes...

~disorientated amah

2007-04-24T20:37:00.000+08:00

Hmm... I'm sure i did that tag somewhere before. Heh. I'll do it again, but me will not tag anyone xD.

Inspiration to write comes in very weird places
I suffer from fangirlitis, an illness that is not recorded in medical books
I'm a bundle of nerves when it comes to presentations
The above statement is not true for dance presentations >.<
I sleep better when in the car than on my bed
I don't really like to take up leadership positions, but always find myself in them somehow. T.T

2007-04-23T19:59:00.000+08:00

Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

So um hmm. What would consider as weird but not too.. welllll, scandalous.. haha. Let me think. Oh, I've got one.

1) As of now, I'm planning to keep my hair long. (Mel found this so weird she started coughing and choking when I told her about it)
2) Karene may sleep with her eyes open in class. I don't, so that's not weird. But lately when I sleep late, I end up having to sleep on the bus on the way to school, the interlude before school starts, nod off at every single lesson, black out for recess, nod off again for the next two lessons, sleep the whole lunch through, nod off a little less for the next lesson. Er.. yes, I've been caught. Several times.
3) Oh oh I know! Mel finds this AMAZING. I am able to get into a high just like that -snaps fingers- No chocolate or sweets or coffee or anything. Of course, it would be nice if there was. You know, like some kind of special bonus? Especially chocolate =D
4) My mom still goes to the hairdresser with me XD one of my parents follow me to the family doctor whenever I'm sick too for that matter. Yes, I am such a kiddy kid!
5) Apparently I wave very weirdly. I open and close my fingers when I say hi. Apparently others do not do that. They wave. Also, I just shake my hand when I say bye. Apparently that's wrong too. It's only reserved for stars or something. Well, I'm sorry.. BUT! that means subconsciously I MUST be a STAR then!! Hee.
6) I read blogs of strangers? Yep.

Think that's about it. Now for the sabotaging! (I was sabotaged by karene, yep.) I tag,
1. Alvina
2. Justin Poh
3.Li Hui
4. Nerissa
5. Melesa
6. Wei Seng

What a befitting thing to happen for the one-year anniversary...

miss sorrel says:
boo! grow taller please, it's so hard to tell who exactly is taller
[Justin] When all else fails, read the instructions. says:
heh
of course i am taller
miss sorrel says:
it wasn't clear, but I'm gonna just give it to you.. for now!
the next time there's someone to check
ahh
we'll see

Yes, I met Chiam. =D on the bus. Next gathering, you all have to help us check who's taller!

Indeed, Happy Anniversary! Hope you all are doing fine!

I'm taking it as, if Poh does not hand out the link tomorrow, he's gonna get pushed into the pool, or another punishment of some kind. It's not illogical. There was an unwritten contract that you bound yourself to when you agreed to work with amah. Amah has done her part. She gets her reward (lots of hugs and glomps and "wow amah, you're great! that's an amazing surprise!!") You on the other hand, due to the delay has been faced with impatient eager requests of, "hurry up poh!". You yourself set a deadline by when you will give it. So now, you have threatened once before not to give it, but see, that is of no benefits to you. We'll just get upset and wear gloomy sad faces, and you shall forever have the crime of making a whole load of people sad, gloomy, dissatisfied, in pain, dying and.. desperate. And desperate people do desperate things.

=) Just a friendly reminder.

XD

For those people who are worried that this is gonna cause a conflict or something, please don't be. Poh already knows I'm making this blog entry yep.

I'm looking forward to the song! Whee.

2007-04-16T22:52:00.000+08:00

Our story: Lyrics by Alvina aka amah, arranged and composed by justin poh aka hippoh

Verse 1:
Once upon a time,
In wonderland,
I woke to a laugh
And a merry band.

I turn my head,
What do I see?
A great big hill
And the bamboo trees.

Chorus:
It’s a new adventure,
A brand new start.
It’s a blank slate
Where I’ll write our story.
Our story…

Verse 2
The dorm on a mount,
The biting cold.
Remember the feel
Let the mem’ry hold.

*chorus*

Bridge:
The skirts and the pants
And the blazers we wore.
A multitude of colours, but
It means so much more.

*chorus x2*

That's the half i'm showing you.. you'll get the soundtrack in another post probably next weekend or something.. =P haha... cheers! MANY THANKS TO AMAH FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THESE LYRICS!

Bye ppl! Happy Anniversary!! *raises wine glass*

earth week

2007-04-10T17:01:00.000+08:00

mmm... earth week is nearly upon us again. I hope the NY greenies aren't cracking under the strain yet. You gals seem busier this year than last. *is glad to be out of NYGC already* >.< Do remember to rest k? Don't break down like I just did recently...

You know, it feels weird to be a participant this year. I think I've gotten too used to being part of the organising team. Hmm... Never mind. I shall be an active and ardent supporter! I guess its the most I can do for now.

On a side note, keep the guesses coming! I need some amusement is this dreary life of mine now.

When sleep-deprived Rebecca is just that bit fed-up (in a light-hearted way) by her junior, because the junior keeps saying she does not how to write narrative and express personal opinions.

Reb: "Ok fine, what do you like to do then"

Junior: "Sleep"

End product

I, have a passion for sleeping.

To sleep, is a glorious reality. It is a way I rest, conserve and recover energy, as a way of replenishing my spirits and my tired mind and body. Sometimes, I have wondered, how would it be like to be able to sleep for a whole day, a full month, or even more!

This thought, is not without cause. Afterall, we have the great big grizzly bear, the scaly slinky snake, and the beautiful black bats etc, which go through hibernation, sleeping for long stretches of months in the cold winter days. It has never ceased to amaze me how such different creatures, from big to small are able to adapt, and somehow managed to just sleep for months on. Have you yourself ever tried to sleep and sleep for months? For humans, it is almost impossible! After a good night's rest we are fresh, awake, revistalised and ready for activity, not an even longer period of inactivity. Yet these animals somehow managed to do it.

In the animal kingdom, this is but one common bond we share: we all sleep. We may differ in the amount of sleep we need - the gangly giraffe for example, only needs 2 hours everyday on average. Imagine if humans only need that amount of sleep! We would be able to accomplish so much more. It constantly strikes me as interesting how we are connected, but yet so different.

In the end, no matter the difference, I still feel the affinity for all these creatures, big or small, since we are all connected by sleep!

Snapshots of Rebecca's CCA Life, on 27th March, 2007

1.
Ah eeek! That is such a cute cute cute drawing of the dustbin. Oh man Sec 2s, you all are really really really good. Ahaha. Such cute cute posters. -takes cap off in stunned admiration-

I need a cap.

2.
Hmm? Mrs Wong is imposing? No she isn't la. She just tells a lot of lame jokes, I know, 'cos I used to be in her class -laughs as Mrs Wong suddenly pretends to frown.- But oh, it is true! ... You can't remember what jokes you used to tell? Well, I remember once I was tearing in your class because I was so tired, and tears were coming out when I yawned. And you exclaimed, "are you so touched by my lesson you're crying???" -everyone laughs-

3.
HEY I WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO RECEIVES ALL THE ENTRIES. I don't careee! Let me receive the entries for the competition, let them submit their write-ups and all to me! I wanna see it first! Oh, you want to know what they should say in their write-up? Um um, ask them what would their dustbin say if it could talk!

4.
Hmm? My phone is ringing. Ah oh. Alvina. Yimin, could you pick up the phone for me please? It's from Alvina. ... Oh just take it already, before she hangs up!

...

Hmm, Yimin's phone is ringing. Oh. It's Alvina. Let me take the call. "Hello? ... Huh no I did not change my phone with Yimin! I did not! ...We're at library, fourth floor, geog room. No I did not change my phone with Yiminnnnnnnn"

-amah comes up-

What made you think I changed my phone! No I did not! Too many private stuff! Fine. Call my phone and see! ...See!

5.
So people, what do you all want to do??

...

Oh my gosh, did you all know what the Sec 2s said? They said we could have someone who would act as the rubbish, and then they'll throw the person, exclaiming, "come on, let's throw the rubbish!" Goodness la. They might as well go do the trust fall, and we shall all exclaim, "this is how secure the litter feels when it is thrown into the bin"...

So people, still no ideas yet?? Goodness. What? What do you all want to do! Run about? Shout in other's ears? Jump about like mad headless chickens???

Hey actually that could work. We shall all dress up as dustbins! And then hop around. And announce to the whole school that we are HOPPING MAD DUSTBINS, because no one feeds us!

Heyy, it's a good idea ok!

Fine, if you all don't like it, think of a better one then!

6.
-throws markers at amah- Amah, you lead the cca instead la!

2007-03-26T19:14:00.000+08:00

Oh man, I think the c-curse is on me AGAIN.

Yes yes THE c-curse. C for clumsy. Noooooooooo =( You should see my legs now. Ever since the hols.. bruises, scabs on my legs. And I have been crashing into chairs and tables all over again! Bumping into chairs and shaking the whole table and have a startled and mildly annoyed karene looked up at me. Or crashing into the table as I walk past it, and pushing the table aside and having my friend suddenly looked up at me, realised who it was, and trying to keep back her laugher..

So much for graces camp haha. I'm falling down more often than I've fallen down in a month last year. First Cinderella. Then cycling. Then floorball. Then more cycling.

Come on admit it, who went to curse me againnn. Sooner or later I'm gonna avoid seeing clocks, eating canned food etc. =P

But otherwise, really, my sleeping Cycle is really truly seriously messed up. Poh knows about it I think.. he's the one who happily announces he's going to sleep at about 12 to me =\ haha. I'm sleeping late, going to school, sleeping before school starts, be in a daze and falling asleep during lessons, and then use recess to sleep some more.

I need another hkconference! To get into a normal sleeping cycle at the very least, if anything else XD

Man, I miss those days. Good full breakfast, soup for lunch and dinner. Man the breakfast the breakfast. Take your time to eat and all, and have a nice breakfast. Eggs, sausages, ham, bananas, peanut butter spread. Oh man...

Haiya, Mel was complaining that she could not sign onto blogger lately. After some trouble-shooting from the smart smart Rebecca Yong JiaHui programme, we have found out that the main cause is her stupidity =D or lack of common sense. Choose whicever sounds better to you. Of course, if we give the benefit of doubt, we have a natural Einstein here! Or is it Thomas Edison..? Eh, don't know la! (a fair attempt at being singlish and ah-lian-ish. Let's see how long I can sustain this tone!)

Man, people ah, lately keeping saying I acbc la! Act cute buay cute. Got the nicer people only say I ac, act cute, but still ah, where got la. So so unfair can.

Hmm, I shan't continue with this tone after all. It makes me uncomfortable somehow.. But erm yes! It's unfair, because my voice goes a little more high-pitched when I protest, "no lor! where got" and immediately, they accuse me of whining and say, "still say not act cute" Hmph.

Ha life's been fun for me. Fell fell fell a lot of times. Bruises and scabs and blister on legs and hand. Aha. Cycling and floorball = WHEEE.

But I STILL can't u-turn. I mean, I can! I have had some successful tries. But some times I would suddenly not dare to sustain the hold and then I'll just do a 90degrees turn..

Haha, who wants to guide me in cycling?

A totally random post

2007-03-23T20:37:00.000+08:00

Qn: How will the price elasticity of demand(PED) and the income elasticity of demand(YED) be used to explain the problem of unstable revenue for rice farmers?

Ans: I have no idea.

Argh... what kind of question is that? I really don't get how PED and YED can be related to this. Am I supposed to say that when people's income increases, the demand for rice decreases as they are now able to purchase meat, a luxury good that they were previously unable to afford and that rice is now an inferior good?

Whatever, I bet that paragraph just earned some blank stares.

Okok, lets talk about something more relevant now. Chemistry. Chem lect today is fun. At least cos I didn't fall asleep. Must remember to thank the straws in my bag. Yep. *nods*

Oh... and school is getting more and more complicated now. ~~Why on earth did they change our timetables? I like my previous one!~~ The lessons are getting tougher. Seriously. I've no idea how I'm going to survive this term. If you see me at the next gathering looking zombie-like, you'd know who to blame.

OK, signing off. Need to pia homework so i can enjoy the weekend :D

~amah

2007-03-21T21:53:00.000+08:00

(Argh! will my nose stop running?)

Okok, that wasn't supposed to be the main idea. Founder's day today. Yep. No lessons, cos the high school side had prize giving and many of the high school boys had to go for prize giving ceremony. So... had games day! Haha... It was... relatively interesting la. Well, as interesting as cheering people on can get, since I'm not involved in the games. My faculty rocked in bball girls! Trashed the other facs! Woohoo! haha... We suffered a casualty though. In volleyball. Nothing major, but enough to scare us. Yep...

You know, it just hit me that if everyone posts at least once a day, we'll hit our third centennial by our 1st year anniversary? Can I call on everyone to post? Even a one-liner? Or am I going to be dao-ed again? >< haha, who knows.

okok, ganbatte ne, minna-san!

2007-03-19T21:37:00.000+08:00

Umm. I'm perfectly sure that Poh's intention was well-meant and all, but somehow.. It makes me feel almost a little guilty for not blogging more often here. Poh ah Poh.. you give us all pressure =P Is sending us off to guilt trips your specialty or something? Tsk tsk.

But aye, in a month's time it shall be the one-year anniversary of the conference. Time does pass quickly. And the group itself is getting smaller isn't it?

"The disinterested/busy bulk with the occasional hellos from the HCI side. The sometimes-here, sometimes-not, but at least quite often there people of ACSI. The rather extreme lack of voice from the CHIJ girls. The over-representation of NY girls."

It brings back loads of memories, to look at the video, and think of that new environment which we soon familarised ourselves with. Ha oh oh, I remember it was really cold the first day we went there. Sitting at the window ledge thingummy and looking down at all the people coming in. Laughing at the ACSI boys (haha, we're sorry.. not! xP) The bird nests, the friends we left in hong kong, the natural environment all around us. Hiking, trekking, like young reckless teens... and really getting rewarded with a view, instead of reaping bad fruits.

Dragonflies, reed paper; technology and sharp sleek modernity contrasted with soft lines of green and the occasional splash of colour.

Documentation, scandals...

... me the poor victim of some. -makes a wry face-

ACS people! Someone think back and try to recall your very first impression of me. I'm kinda curious. Would a plea for CHIJ to do the same be noticed? Ha no idea. HC.. I think I know their views. "Wei Seng Fan Club" righttt lol. Or would someone like to offer an alternate view? Or would Wei Seng like to declare that he was actually quite freaked out when he realised I knew his email address?

So on and so forth I guess..

`Rebecca

11months on..

2007-03-18T22:54:00.000+08:00

Hi ppl.. amah just pointed out to me.. it's been 11months since the conference.. how fast is that? haha.. next month will be the 1st anniversary le.. haha. Aniwae.. hope school's ok for all.. its time to get going again.. haha. Aniwae.. i just realised.. we have 259 posts including this one within the 1 year. if yo uthink about it, this blog should have 25 ppl posting if all were active. That means 10 posts average per person. Then of course, only 6 or 7 ppl were blogging. Isn't that amazing? 6 or 7 not only covered the job of 25 ppl, but posted so often all 25 ppl could have 10 posts each within the year, which is equivalent to each person blogging almost once a month.. haha. So cool...

Aniwae.. i thought i'd show you these lyrics. Hope you like them:

It's Over: Disney Channel Original Movie: The Cheetah Girls 2

GALLERIA
Four voices perfectly blending
Right from the start
Oooooh, I'm afraid that's ending
And my world is fallin' apart

It's over
And I feel so alone
This is a sadness I've never known
How did I let the sweetest of dreams slip away
And I'm afraid the hurt is here to stay

CHANEL
Promises made, not meant to be broken
From a long time ago
Oooooh, so many words still unspoken
Tell me how was I to know (It's over)

It's over
Never thought it would be
Why in the world did this happen to me

CHANEL & GALLERIA
How could I let
The sweetest of dreams slip awaY

CHANEL
And I'm afraid the hurt is here to stay

CHANEL & GALLERIA
I go round and round
and round in my head

Wanting to take back
Whatever I said

No one was right
We all made mistakes
I'm ready to do whatever it takes
Please, Please, Please

CHANEL
Don't let it be...

ALL CHEETAHS
Over!
No, this is not how it ends
I need my sisters, my family, my friends
Don't wanna let
The sweetest of dreams slip away

ALL CHEETAHS
'Cause if it's over
Then the hurt is here to stay
Don't let it be over

You know, I used to complain about integrated math(IM) - how hard and lengthy the question could get. Well, I take my words back, crush them in my hands, stomp on it and flush it down the toilet bowl. Yep, that's about how hard H2 math is. I want IM back!! Give me differentiation and integration any time.

Haha... for my NY juniors, if you're interested (or whoever else is interested), the 1st chap in H2 math is partial fractions, which is easy to do, provided you pay attention in math lesson. 2nd is binomial, where they'll introduce binomial series, where the powers are non-integers and negative values. 3rd is Arithmatic and Geometric progression. 4th chap is where your headache starts. Sigma notation, Methods of Differences and Mathematical Induction. Yep. Its a MAJOR headache.

Ok... shall go back to mug for math class assignment, which unfortunately is counted in CA -__-lll

Sorrow, by D.H. Lawrence

Why does the thin grey strand
Floating up from the forgotten
Cigarette between my fingers,
Why does it trouble me?

Ah, you will understand:
When I carried my mother downstairs,
A few times only, at the beginning
Of her soft-footed malady,

I should find for a reprimand
To my gaiety, a few long grey hairs
On the breast of my coast; and one by one
I watched them float up the dark chimney.

From Sons and Lovers, by D. H. Lawrence,
-somewhere in chapter 8-

"He sat in the kitchen, smoking. Then he tried to brush some grey ash off his coat. He looked again. It was one of his mother's grey hairs. It was so long! He held it up, and it drifted into the chimney. He let go. The long grey hair floated and was gone in the blackness of the chimney."

When the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle falls into place..

How wondrous, how glorious, what a wonderful feeling! To suddenly realise what it means, and see the full story behind it all, splayed out, and to have a deeper rounded meaning when paired with the poem.

Oh unexpected gem of delight!

You know, every time I come to this page, I feel as though this place has now become like a personal blog. Some times, I even wonder how many still do visit the blog. I'm not sure about how others feel, but this place is very special to me. I mean, come on, this blog suffered its fair share of spamming, flaming and of course, the random squeals.

I'm not sure how many still visit this blog, but whatever, I'm going to continue blogging here as long as I have the time. I've said this before. Fate threw us together, how we progress after that, well, it's up to us to keep the friendship and bonds alive and intact.

But that's not my main purpose in blogging now. There's an announcement to make, just in case people don't sign onto msn.

MARCH HOLIDAYS GATHERING IS POSTPONED TO JUNE DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS.

So I guess I'll see you people 3 months later :D Meanwhile, all the best in your studies and life.

In relation to neri's post, I must agree that JC life is a blast (oh, i've got quite a bit of stories to tell! XP). What with all the activities going on. I would have gone to Huang Cheng on sat, if not for the fact i lost my ticket on morning of the show. Argh! I had 2 weeks where I could possibly lose it, but do I? NO.... I lose it on the day itself. *pissed* okok... shall not talk about it any more. It just make my bp go up.

Hols are finally here (thank goodness!) but i still have homework to do... -_-lll

oya, so what happened to gathering anyway? Is it still going on this sat? Yinghao! give us all a reply k?

~amah

2007-03-11T22:31:00.000+08:00

jc life has been a blast. it's super tiring with the whole load of activities coming non-stop at full blast! but at least it's been enjoyable (: and so released of Olevel results came and go and so did the posting of jc. i cant say that im pleased with my Os results but i guess it's still acceptable. got posted to acjc but i appealed back to cjc. haha everyone thinks im crazy but i did not regret my decision to appeal at all! people may have lots of bad impression of the school but it doesnt matter to me cause i know best how the school is! and since im happy there, then that's all that matters! reported to acjc for one day and i knew my appeal back to cj was right. i guess ac is just not for me! and thus ppl if you've been wanting to know, im officially in cjc!

march hols are finally here. after the crazy weeks in jc, its finally time for me to recharge and catch up with old friends! whatever happened to our gathering? heard that yinghao was in charge of it and then the whole matter faded off? haaha.

oh to my dearest juniors, i hope the grace's camp went well for u ppl! please lemme see photosss!!! ((:

-NERI!

2007-03-10T23:02:00.000+08:00

About Graces (the camp, not the virtue)

Because there has to be someone out there who appreciate my willingness to humiliate myself right..? Oh please tell me there is.

I'll zoom in onto just one main event though, the very epitome of stupidity and clumsiness! But there are people who love a Cinderella no? =\ there had better be boo.

Well yes, let's zoom in onto the formal dinner, class parade. Oooh, 406 was the first class to go! Yes yes, that's my class =D And guess who was gonna lead the class down the red carpet! Yes yes, it's your tall girl here with another tall partner! Um well... yes, it was only due to height. No, it was not due to anything else. Let's move on shall we!

So the lovely emcee of the day, a male teacher who taught me language arts in lower secondary announced the entrance of 406! And mentioned my name.. Ok. No no, it's fine mentioning people's name. As long as you don't mess up.

Thing is, the accident-prone remains the klutz! Of all days to be struck! And all I did was sit on a chair, drank from a cup, conversed with a teacher, walked down the red carpet...

So what happened exactly.

Well, Cinderella climbed the stairs up to the stage and her white (she decided not to wear glass because they were too shiny, and her pink crystal flower choker, so kindly loaned by amah was more than shiny enough!) heel slipped off. But the shoes goes on, so she had to kick off her other heel (what did you expect, the heel is high enough for me to be unbalanced if I don't wear the other ok..) and did her pose barefoot. The Prince Charming picked up the heel for her but this is a not-so story, in other words, he was not the Prince Charming, but the witty emcee who remarked something along the lines of, "this feels like a fairytale".

I was later informed that some people at the back never realised that my heel had slipped off, until he made that comment and they asked around.

Sigh.. thus ends the story of the first Cinderella of the day. -laughs- yes there was some more Cinderellas throughout the course of the dinner.

A long overdue post

2007-03-02T20:18:00.000+08:00

Hi ppl, long time no see (or blog). Sorry i've neglected this place for ages. Been so busy getting things done the last couple of weeks. Tests, projects, assignments.... its still there btw, just not as many. L-sc symposium over today so its just SSEF to go and i'll be done. Except for ISO fair which is like nothing after you've done SSEF. haha... and I may or may not throw the project into biotech fair oso.. depends... see how lor..

Aniwae, hope everybody is still alive. I wouldn't expect everybody to be fully alive but must be alive enuf to recover once activities die down.. haha

Aniwae, I shall go enjoy my long awaited slack time now.. :D

C ya!

Interesting facts

2007-02-28T17:46:00.000+08:00

Hmm... how to start? Whatever I'm going to talk about later is on the topic of clothes. Not just ordinary clothes. Clothes that you spend more than 1/2 a day in - Uniforms! XD

I've noticed some interesting things about my uniform. (Don't get me wrong. I like my uniform. Really, I do.)

For starters, its waterproof! Next time you see me, I'll demonstrate it to you XD

Erm... and how about this. The guys can wear coloured socks and no one will know. Cos they pants are long enough to cover it. Girls... well... we're wearing skirts. So you do the math ><

yep. that's about it. gotta go finish my tutorial =D

Problem 5: I'm Only Thinking Of You!
Divisions I, II, III & IV
For this problem, teams will create and present an original humorous performance that includes a Self-Centered Character (SCC) and a surprise. The SCC will take advantage of others three separate times. Two of the three times it will successfully convince others that it is being helpful and will say, "I'm only thinking of you," or something similar. The third time it will fail to deceive others into believing that its self-centered behavior helps them and its true nature is revealed.

Was checking Odyssey of the Mind and saw this.

For some strange reason I am really really amused by it. I guess it's because I do it way too many times? Mel can testify to this. Not that I'm self-centered, but I would tease people mercilessly and then twist it to say that it's for their own good.

Really! Just ask Mel to tell you about Lotte-lee and me. How I was trying to choose a nice lovely UNIQUE name for her. Aww, so nice of me ain't it? To give her a nice affectionate name.

But you know I'm just having loads of fun when it starts becoming things like, "scarlet salad".

More next time people!

Heeding the call of the old-

(PEOPLE! POST LEH!)
Orh. -yawns.

Today in Nanyang, Secondary 4 girls attended a crucial talk that marks a milestone in their lives: "The Fundamentals of Dressing" by Ms Veronica. A lovely lady. Yes.

Halfway through the talk...
Friend beside me turns round, tugs at my hand, agitated. "Let's just wear dress pants!"
This comment was repeated twice or was it thrice more times?

Towards the end of the talk... After listening to talk about how we should enhance our assets...
Another friend besides me: "the thing is, I don't even know which are my assets."
Me: -after turning to look at her- "well, you've got long hair"
She: -flings hair back to hit my face on purpose.
Me: Ow! (thinks: so much for trying to be nice)

Though yea, the things just went in through one ear and out from the other. Only one thing stayed, "try not to wear flats but something with a bit of a heel". Bah. Should I really go wear one-inch heels?

And the lingering afterthought: I have no idea what to do to get my clothes now. It doesn't help that my mom is more lost than me on stuff like this...

Mel was threatening to bring me to go shopping and force me to buy a dress or skirt. Man, if it gets it settled, the idea actually sounds a little tempting. =\ At any rate, I can trust her sense of clothing rather than my own.

Basically, they're forcing us to be a lady.

To think yesterday I was just telling my friend, "yes I'm still a girl!"

Oh yes. We're supposed to get our own cosmetics too.

Have I ever mentioned, my mom never wears make-up, not even a natural look for work? Only for formal events like wedding dinners and stuff.

Rebecca is so dead..

Otherwise, to end on a lighter note, here's something I've been wanting to post but keep forgetting to. So yeah, it's long overdue. Never mind though.

Presenting! The reason why I laughed while doing my chemistry worksheet few weeks back (while I was sick and all)

Mmm, thanks for brightening my day.. it felt good to laugh when I was sick and cheer up a little.

CNY celebrations

2007-02-20T14:13:00.000+08:00

I miss NY's celebrations! It's much much more fun. The only things that was fun for my CNY celebrations were the street market and the fac dance compeition. =D Sadly, my fac didn't win. But hey, we put up a good fight and that's what matters =D You can find the videos on youtube.

Went back to NY after that only to realise the teachers were having staff lunch. It was so quiet... super scary. XD Went to KAP after that with lihui for lunch. Following which she came over and I was teaching her fac dance! WHEEE! APOLLO RULES! hahaha

The one thing that's marring my hols is that I've got a test and presentation when school reopens... So despressing.

Okok... shall go and study now...

Blood Donation and results

2007-02-09T19:26:00.000+08:00

There was a blood donation drive in school on thurs. Went for it and waited for 2 hrs before it was my turn. It was quite an experience really, watching the blood flowing from your arms and into the tube. But it was super pain. The needle used to draw the blood is huge. Much much bigger than normal *shudders* My hand is still aching now... ouch

And Yinghao, why do you always like to niao me? Huh huh? In HK it was so direct... now it goes through Rebecca... T.T

-the effects of sleep deprivation and illness.

giddy giddy spin spin. labourious steps. shuffle shuffle. ginger steps down the steps.

climb climb up. sit in chair. "are you alright rebecca? you look dead" shake head.

listen listen, with a drugged and numbed brain. feel the words enter and dissolve.

speak, and find it difficult to breathe. hear your own voice slowly ebb away, hear it dissolve to just the hiss of air after a long sentence.

laugh, but silently, only letting the laugher rock your body because it hurts to laugh out loud.

sleep, catching whatever break is given. close the weary eyes, but feel no rest coming, only the aches and soreness at the throat and lungs.

sleep daze, slumber, half fits of sleep and wakefulness.

wow. my head is spinning from this.

aye aye, I'm tired alright.

`Rebecca

2007-02-06T20:32:00.000+08:00

I am sick.

Cold, sore throat, slight temperature. Sniffling like some pathetic little creature of a person. And sleep-deprived too. Black eye circles. Really really bad ones.

And my pe teacher thinks I'm a little anemic. >< And she managed to guess what kind of vegetables I don't like to eat! Like, three in a row!
"You don't like carrots?"
"Um yea"
"Ah they're good for you, you know! Vitamin.."
"A"
"Yep. And I guess you don't like bitter gourd too?"
"Yea, I don't like it."
"And you don't like lady fingers too."
"Well.. yes.."

I shall blatantly say here that I want lots of comforting and consoling comments to cheer up my poor depressed sick self! xP

in the mood for something sweet

2007-01-26T23:20:00.000+08:00

I shall copy and paste from karene's blog!

"During 大堂课, We (ChunHing+Cherylong+Yongji+Shion+ME) went to LT early enough and decided on the corner seats, so that we could have headrest against the padded walls. Then Justina decided to join us. And Rebecca and Zeena and Marissa.
And we all ended up in this sitting arrangement...

KARENE SHION CHERYL
YONGJI CHUNHING REBECCA
MARISSA ZEENA JUSTI

When Jiaying came in she was like,"You guys look like a SUDOKU set! Or maybe a keypad.. Why am I sitting alone?"
HAHA so we decided to number ourselves.

KARENE(1) SHION(2) CHERYL(3)
YONGJI(4) CHUNHING(5) REBECCA(6)
MARISSA(7) ZEENA(8) JUSTI(9)
NO-ONE(*) JIAYING(0) NO-ONE(#)

If you suddenly decide to call the police, press JUSTINA 3 times.
If you wanna call school, call [REBECCA-YONGJI-REBECCA-REBECCA-CHERYL-SHION-MARISSA-CHUNHING]"
copyrighted Karene

Hahaha! We're a crazy bunch. Hmmm. Bold and beautiful? Alliteration! That's alway good.

I feel all sweet and happy and nice today. You know, that um umm, induced(??! goodness, can someone think of a better word) sweet feeling you feel when there's a nice surprise to cheer up a gloomy tiring day, that wakes you up and makes you go, "ah..", the feel-good because someone cares. Yep. That's it. Ahh

As a side-note, my chinese teacher thinks that counting out 999 bougainvillea flowers is romantic. And cheap. To him, spending one thousand plus dollars on 999 rose-buds arranged in the shape of "I ♥ U" is just a plain waste of money.

I think it'll be more romantic if it was 999 ixora flowers.

And 999 blades of grass would make me laugh, but be treasured. Just er, put it in some nice container! Haha. (My friend scoffs at the thought though of 999 blades of grass though. -shrugs-)

Shall end this (with a poem) before I reveal too much!

A Blade of Grass

You ask for a poem.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You say it is not good enough.
You ask for a poem.

I say this blade of grass will do.
It has dressed itself in frost,
It is more immediate
Than any image of my making.

You say it is not a poem,
It is a blade of grass and grass
Is not quite good enough.
I offer you a blade of grass.

You are indignant.
You say it is too easy to offer grass.
It is absurd.
Anyone can offer a blade of grass.

You ask for a poem.
And so I write you a tragedy about
How a blade of grass
Becomes more and more difficult to offer,

And about how as you grow older
A blade of grass
Becomes more difficult to accept.

I think anyone who has been talking to me the past few days would realise that I've been gushing about my fac dance. (Good grief! It's really super cool!)

Yes, I know it's hard, but the effort is really worth it, especially when it looks really really good. What with all the flashing and crumping. Haha... Seriously gives you a great work out. Haha

I'm actually aching all over due to fac dance AND PE... Ouch...

Ok, got to go and sleep. Take care people!

[Justin] May today be better than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow. - song without words

Mendelssohn- songs without words

First thing I noticed when I saw Justin Chiam's nick was his personal message. And how similar it was to another friend's nick of mine.

Which is quite good, because it proves my mind is still, you know, working, and relatively agile. And I need that. A lot. One) Because I do need an agile working mind to keep up in school. Two) As reassurance that I can still work.

Of course, what a great calamity! I actually fell asleep! So tired I was that I fell asleep the moment I allowed myself to close my eyes on the bed. At 8.30pm roughly. Till 10pm. -dismayed look.

But mm, I feel relatively high today. Relatively. Yes, that means I tried to not let myself get too high. But there's good things, good things happening.

Or or, am I just deluding myself, and I'm actually just in a conscious daze (a side-effect from my late nap), and this post is all just nonsense really. Well.. the latter does seem highly probable.

Off to do my homework. >< wish me luck. Pray I'll survive. Pray I won't sleep in class.

No wait, seems like I'm gonna get a review of the Humanities Programme in HCI from a student taking it. Wheee. Go me. Seems like it'll be a late night.

How to avoid giving your siblings spelling...

1) Agree to give them spelling. See the happy joyous expression on their face.

2) Continue in a relatively lazy drawl, "but you go learn first ah. learn already then come back. then, if one word wrong, I get one can drink. two words wrong, I get one bottled drink that costs 1 dollar. three words wrong, I get one bubble tea or bottled drink that costs 1 dollar 20 cents. four words wrong, I get a huge one litre bottle of drink. five and above wrong, I shall just mix and match according to my liking based on the previous system, in either (1+4), or (2+3) or (1+1+3) etc etc."

3) See that shocked horrified expression in their face as their eyes slowly widen a little, and their mouths drop open a little.

4) Look right back at them.

5) Get back to eating dinner as they go ask someone else instead.

I did this to my sister, who went to ask my brother who refused to give her spelling, a while back. Today my brother came to ask me to give him spelling. Same conditions. He gaped at me. And then went to find my sister.

My sister said if he got 5 words wrong he has to pay her 20cents.

Otherwise, some websites which I came across today: Your Personal Diamond. You know... for whenever you do get married and all. Don't forget to blog here announcing who's the unlucky person you're engaged to. Mm.

For the greenies... Extinct Dolphins... =( Yea I know.. ><

For those sick of school and wishing to dream, Democratic Schools. I was informed by my friend that in Singapore, the closest to this would be a polytechnic or a university.

Till next time then.

I finally decided to get off my lazy butt to post a small update here. Or rather, it's because I'm home early for the 1st time in 2 weeks...

Lessons have started and I must say that I definitely prefer staying in a classroom then moving around all the time. So much less confusing. So those in Year 4 or Sec 4, treasure it well...

Classes so far have been ok, not really that hard to understand, yet. Math is fun though, what with the introduction of the Binomial Series. Series is different from theorem, but I shall not say a thing now. Don't want to get people confused. Haha.

Another gripe I have is the $$$... I've paid close to what, must be 60-70 bucks in less then a week. Like, WT? Going to go into negative already... -_-"

Oh, another thing. Must bring jacket to classes, unless of course, you've got sleeves, then can heck care la. I forgot today and was freezing my arms off. Thank goodness for the PE shirt that was not used. =D

Ok, shall stop here for now, need to go and understand the Binomial Series le...

Orientation was super fun! Had a free mud bath yesterday when we had to go crawling around blindfolded in the field. I was lucky as I was wearing a brown tee, so the mud stains not obvious XD Went to shower right after that. Everyone emerged from the showers soaking wet. We were dripping water every where we went (very easy to find us). And horrors of horrors, we had to play with flour next. Wet+flour=MESSY!

NY mass dance is slack compared to JC. Seriously. But I was scarred during mass dance. Totally scarring.

Went out for OG dinner as well and some idiot suggested Bishan. Bishan! Of all the places, why there? So far! By the time I reached home it was past 11. By the time I parked my tired self into bed, it was past 12. So tired now... Shall go catch my zzz...

on a side note, we may need to update our blog a little, since some of us are no longer in the sec school... of course, we can leave it as it is.

But a soft toy giraffe would be nice too. Then I can call it Grouchy Giraffe! Wheeee. Aim for this Jan: Save money for it.

=D Hopefully I'll be able to buy it by end of this Jan! With extreme scrimping by not eating lunch at school but head straight home for it, it should result in enough money! But ah, how am I going to explain to my parents? =\ It'll be for myself!

Guys would get really agitated, but I'll try to calm down, cool down.. *hands slowly clenched into a tight fist, eyebrow starts twitching, blood vessels at the forehead starts contorting... I need a brain freeze.*

So mm yea. School's restarting no? And I think everyone's filled with a certain dread about it.. oh come on, I can't be the only one dreading it. Days of work, stress, pressure, fear, trepidation.

But, the ingenious part is that they tweaked it in such a way that still made you go "Brillant!" and "I may just watch this again!"

I won't say more, otherwise I may end up revealing spoliers for those who wishes to see it.

everyone seems to be on MIA status, including me. life's been pretty boring for me for the pass few days n i believe for many others, for the fact that it rains from morn to night and 24hrs each day. just by looking at the rain i dun feel like stepping out of the hse. speaking of hse, im not even at my own home! been staying at my cousin's hse since last thurs and this has thus limited my online time. since its not my hm i dun have the piority over the comp!

its 4am n im feeling bored. i used to be known for sleeping at timings like 3+ 4+ and 1am is considered early. however, that was the june holidays. ever since the june hols ended, sleeptimes were adjusted to 11+pm. it lasted till after Os which was only a month ago. n till now i have not adjust back to my late/early 4am sleeps. i start to get sleepy at 2am. n so do all my friends! they contribute to my reason for earlier sleep times too. ok enough of my crapping. im just trying to keep myself awake. u may think im crazy but there's a reason why i dont wish to sleep. at least not on the bed which ive been sleeping on for the past week. here goes the reason:

this evening, i was napping peacefully on the bed with my head on the comfy pillow. when i finally woke n got out of bed, guess what i saw?! almost immediately after i stood up n switched on the lights, i saw a lizard scrambling across the bed!! gosh ive been sleeping with a lizard?!!!! im utterly disgusted. then the lizard crawled towards the pillow n the blanket which was folded nicely under the pillow. urghh. nownow, i have no idea where the lizard gone to and if its hiding in the blanket and i have no wish to take the risk to sleep with the lizard! i hate lizards! disgusting slimey mass of thing. rahh. therefore, im attempting to not sleep tonight since i would have to sleep on the sofa outside. its not exactly a nice thing to do when its raining outside n the house is cold and dark =( so here i am with no one to talk to n leading to the ranting here.

if u've read till here, u must be pretty bored hehe. this would be a great time to figure out html codes since i cant sleep but since a new layout is on the way, frm reb, i shall not strain my tiny puny useless brain! it's only 4.07am now. all the best neri for ur attempt on staying up the whole night.

anyway, i would be off to hk frm 22nd-25th. who goes on such a short trip =.= i will reach there on the 22nd midnight then next day go disneyland then the following day go shopping and then the next i would be back in spore. what a trip. but since its fully paid for, why not? its actl a trip by my mum's company. hotel + airticket+ disneyland entrance fee all fully paid for with additional allowance to spend there. so why not? im going back to the place where it all started but with totally diff ppl n diff feeling. how sad. im gonna miss every single one of u when im there since everything there brings back loads of memories. as for now, im gonna find stuff to keep me occupied.

signing off at 4.12am,
neri
