Green? *skeptical look*

Now the question is, to tan or to go fair? *ponders* What kind of skin tone does greenish go with? Dark? Red? Golden? Bronze? Fair? *wonders*

Rahaha. Today's results weren't as bad as I had expected. I hope they mean good news.

Ah. Nothing beats a good workout. Actually, not really much of a workout besides cycling over to East Coast Park, hunting a long way along the beach for a corner to throw my sarong down and plop down on the sand. Finally found a spot of dry sand and glorious (oh glorious!) sun. Sprayed on Coppertone and taa-daa. Sank down and enjoyed the warmth.

Halfway throughout this little kid splashed droplets of water on me. Haha. Was playing Win, Lose or Draw on the sand. Flipped after every half an hour. But the short time at the beach didn't allow me to get my tan, but at least I am not as horrendously fair as before. My brown parts look browner. I shall continue. *grins*

Tomorrow starts school. *sian*

Was talking to my mother this morning, telling her that if I had the figure I'd go for modelling. Surprisingly, she agreed to the idea, but warned me that the industry is rather dangerous. Well, I suppose she has the confidence that I will not have the figure to even enter this industry. *very amused*

Okay, to start this day off...

WHO WANTS TO GO TANNING/CYCLING WITH ME later in the afternoon!?

I suppose no one. I think I'll go play with the sand, and talk to each little grain. See what the prelims have done to me! *snarls*

Bored bored bored bored bored bored bored.

What am I expecting after the prelims? Hooray let's go and party kinda celebration? What what what in the world do I expect to do? Damn. I feel like an 8-year old under my mother's hands again. Mum for God's sake I am 18. Not 8 anymore. Not your baby girl anymore. I still want my fun without having to think about how you'll feel eating alone at home. But for your sake. I am still coming home for dinner.

Well. To start with. My mum (again) made me late.

That wasn't enough anyway. She had to make me carry out an umbrella (as if it will rain.), a huge waterbottle and everything. And she almost made me wear thights/tights underneath my skirt coz' she scared I will zao geng (!?) Omg. *faints right there and then*


Do you just see that? A whole collection of gowns! Unfortunately, we do not have that in Singapore. Why? Because it is not within our "culture" to dress up so nicely even if we do go to the Esplanade to watch a play/musical/concert etc, whereas in other countries, watching all these is such a big thing that one has to wear something formal for the occasion. I mean, there are some who don't bother at all and wear jeans/t-shirt/bermudas/singlet-lookalike-clothing/whatsoever to Esplanade. I guess evening gowns certainly don't have a place in Singapore until some graduation night/prom night/Gala dinner comes along.

Whaaatever. Foul mood generated by this lousy shop in Marina Square, some chaaat local brand which happened to carry gowns, though they were in terrible shape, for one thing, the cutting at the breasts area makes the breasts look too pointed! Not to mention, those people there had to go "Aiyah, they come here only to try and not buy". Duh. After looking at the lousy workmanship of those gowns and going through such horrible service, of course people tend to try and not buy. Use your brains 'sales-ladies'. -_-

Another of those days when I hate my size. Hate the way I have to be tall and not slim, but big sized and everything. Hate the way my feet are so long just because of my height. Hate the way I can't get nice slippers/sandals just because they aren't my size. Hate the way some gowns look terrible on me because I have big hips. Hate the way I have to really search for clothes to compliment my whatever-figure. Hate the way I can't step into Roxy shops and search through the racks because I simply. cannot. fit. into. their. largest. size. because. Singapore. doesn't. import. large. sizes.

Okay. I have whined enough. You people around me must have gotten sick of this constant whining about me not being the ideal Singaporean size. But thanks suz and hy, for the shopping today. *winks* Love your newest loviest purchase my dear suz! Its soooo pretty and glam!

Ah. Drats. I think. I will. go do some maths. Or play my piano. I will bike tomorrow.

Blah.

Back from Geog S.

If this is how the A-levels are gonna be like, I will declare myself a walking zombie first. It is so mentally exhausting!!! 3 essays to be completed in 3 hours is no joke okay, its like...1st two essays I was still going on strong, but by the time I finished the 2nd essay I had nothing to write because there's only so little left in my brain. Ooh well. At least I'm home and resting my feet up on the table with a plate of bazhang on my hand. *winks*

Going to town to look for gowns later, I hope I find something nice. And hopefully I'll get something else along the way...I can't wait!

Baaah. Rainy day. I hate rainy days, especially when it pours and never stops even for a moment for the entire day. *pouts*

I bought thongs! *otherwise known as flip-flops/slippers whatever you call them, just that thongs is the name for those kinda y-shape slippers*

Later ate at some 5-star Hainanese Chicken Rice at Katong area with G3, suz, it wasn't that bad lah. Though the stupid xiao bai cai was a freaking $5 per plate. Come to think of it, maybe they are organic. *forces a smile* Bought duck rice for my mum, who COMPLAINED AGAIN that she doesn't like this kinda duck rice. I honestly give up buying food for her. So fussy!

Raindrops keep falling my head.
Just like the man whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit, oh
Raindrops keep falling on my head they keep falling...

Went on mountain bike trail today. Didn't know there's one in Tampines area. *amazed*

Nice terrain, nice BMX trail. Or at least I was too chicken to try it until I went 'what the heeeckkkk' and went through the course slowly. I don't wanna risk breaking my neck there man. But the feeling was good. :)

Slacked the whole day, never felt better..was yakking away online with G3, talking about what we are gonna be in future. Suz and her "I am gonna make my first million at 25!" and Xtina's "I'll be married by 25". Hurhur. Talking about opening shops catering to fat people, catering to apple-shaped figures, and catering to tall and long people..rahaha, talking about opening fitness centre..and hy as a model. Rahaha. *amused* I was wondering whether we'll just end up as tai-tais in the future. *amused grin*

Played piano. Probably irritated the hell out of those residents living in the block opposite me, but I don't caaareee!! Lalalala, at least, its better than this girl who lives opposite me, who never fails to play the same stupid piece every night, repeating this particular phrase of the song all over and all over again for a continuous 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS! I probably could memorise what she was playing. And she is still at it. NOW. The funny thing is, it is only recently that I heard the piece improve a little bit. Oh well. At least her hard work paid off. Spare my ears. Now shall be my turn to irritatate her. *evil*

Ooh well. I shall attempt to improve a little on my P.C tomorrow.

Finally, the bulk of prelims is somewhat over. I still have papers, but its unseen for literature and geography S level. Which, I don't plan to study very hard for.

Hmm, went to pierce a second earhole on the right today, yay? *skeptical look* Somehow, I don't feel right. Maybe coz' the excitement has been dampened. Hmm. And what else? I discovered that TJ has e-learning!!

Ooh well. I was bored what. So I clicked on this e-lecture on some physical geog thingy and I see MISS J. Talking on a microphone apparently, facing me. The wonders of technology.

And I think the model for Peel-Fresh Juice advertisment is so so pretty! That is what I call fair and pretty. As in, she will look super nice fair and not tanned.

Floating, falling,
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me,
savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin,
let your darker side give in
to the power of
the music that I write-
the power of
the music of the night...

You alone
can make my song take flight -
help me make the music of the night...


Someday...I will watch the Phantom of the Opera. *dreamy look* The songs, the voices...

And its back to reality again. Tourism!!!

5 essays and 5 DRQs in a day is no joke. My hand is aching, seriously aching.

Discovered this sumo-wrestling game concerning oreos. I smor'd a few. Yippee yay. The ultimate boredom.

And this. Stupidity at its finest. I did feel rather dumb after watching this stupid clip. *rolls eyes*

Sigh. Wrench off my hand now.

I have got Honey Stars! *silly grin*

Yes, some craving of mine again, been yearning for it since I was at the airport studying. Dratted prelims are so so mind-draining and tough. Never fails to remind me how much I have gotta study after the prelims have ended in order to score for my A-levels. Rargh.

I met kor again in the morning. Was busy loading in my statistics formulas until I nearly missed that familar walking style of his. Those type walk walk walk, 'gelek gelek' slight (notice, its only SLIGHT) jaunty way of his. *winks*

Maths was an ultimate disasssster! *whines* How am I ever gonna pass? Not to mention at least decent grades for the other two to make up for the lousy grades in maths, I think, I can forget about it. I wonder how that woman did it previously. 89 for C-math, 93 for F-math. Omg. Aggh!

Utterly slackish day.

I couldn't do anywork at all, because of the horrible sickish feeling I have in me since I woke up. I should have known I couldn't survive with so little sleep, slept at 3 woke up at 8. So, I had to nap the entire afternoon due to lack of sleep, and the horrible "gonna-have-fever" feeling I feel within my body. Bah. Not to mention its LNG day 1. *sian*

Jokes. After lunch I popped over to Cristofori Music School to get an application form for teaching piano after my A's. Was dressed in my super chaat huge Nike t-shirt and shorts along with the scruffiest looking sandals around, and the manager was like giving me this totally horrified look when she asked "Are you the one applying? How old are you?" Hurhur. Yeah I was.

"Sorry for the lousy attire. Just popped by for lunch and thought I'd collect this at the same time. Graduating at the end of the year, 18 years old." At least the horrified look disappeared. But that didn't stop her from looking up and down, up and down at my horrible attire. *amused* Nevertheless, filled in the application form right in front of her (at least she came over and helped me with it), and I was telling her I will pop by to hand in my certs. She told me to do it during the interview, which she said she will contact me after my A levels. I hope this gets through. *prays hard* Ooh well. I hope she was satisfied with my qualifications at least.

Ooh lala. Haven't done any work yet. I am screwed.

Saturday. 9.40am. And I am feeling sleepy.

Darren and Aaron looked downright cosy at the airport yesterday, was rather tempted to sit up through the night studying with them. Oh well, my mum would have yelled at me, so went home and got back slightly before 11. Sometimes I wish I have someone to drive me home so that I can stay out as late as I need to. Blaghz. Empty wishes.

Gonna eat at Jack's Place later with my mum. I so can't wait to abandon my books. Though I have yet to even come close to finish studying. *sigh* Made this promise to myself to study harder after the prelims, aggh. But funny, I wonder why mummy is being so nice, bringing me to Jack's Place to eat 2 days before the prelims start. The usual her would have forced me to stay at home to study. Maybe she just wanted me to help her carry back everything from the market after lunch. *mumbles* Hmmm. *wonders*

Exam paranoia. I seriously have no idea where I am heading to with this kinda chapalan revision. Abit here and there and not everything sounds pretty bad. Yikes. I seriously have no idea how I would fare in this time's prelims. Everything seems fine on the surface, but when I attempt to dig down deeper, I feel hopelessly lost. As if I haven't learnt anything these 1 & 1/2 years in TJC.

Ahhhhh. :)

Back from biking, as well as a nice warm bath. Thanks kor, for lending me the bike, brought back my love for biking around again, coz' I can cover longer distances now as well as terrains rougher than the normal pavement and tarred road surface. Yippe yay. Headed over to Pasir Ris Park today, coz I wanted the sea-breeze. Not too bad, got lost halfway on the way there and had to cycle over like a whole field of grass, which, not being mowed for probably eons, hid away sudden gradient changes and left me plummenting into soft soil and stuck there. Thank God it didn't rain beforehand.

Oh, and the playground there has sprouted some new stuff! *grins* Quite a few of those things that turn by themselves based on your weight, then you just turn and turn and turn faster and faster, until I collapsed (literally) to the ground because I was too dizzy. Very fun to play. Not to mention a new slide which seems to be miles and miles long, but lousy surface. Too much friction and I ended up walking down. How embarassing.

On the way back decided to bike by and say hi to Suz, but unfortunately, remembered the wrong block, and stood there yelling her name like an idiot while looking at this particular 6th floor unit. Only when I called her did I realise it was the block next to it...aggh. Me and my bad memory, anyway. Yes, saw Miss Susie and headed back for dinner! Although I was made to crawl into some canal with the bike because some smart ass thought it was a short cut. Rargh. But fun nevertheless!

RRRRRaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrGGGggggggggghhhhhhHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

There. I feel like the lady in the paperjam advertisment. Except, I feel 10 times better now. Managed to clear up 2 topics of previously what seems unknown-maths to me. Yay. I feel a slight sense of achievement. Not to mention that I discovered a bo-chup attitude (to a certain extent) will lead me through a better life. Less frowns! Though the prospect of not scoring very well for prelims still lurk around the corner.

I love the idea of someone with a great bod wearing long-sleeves. Mmmm. Then again, not. You have to have the shoulders. Back to exercise regime to carry off a bikini properly. Rahaha. *winks*

I don't know why I am feeling so physced up despite such a nice cooling weather (which some people may find cold but I don't?), maybe because I can't wait to go cycle later. Then again, maybe its because I am keeping to my last minute timetable of this week. Ooh well. Take it easy girl. I can't afford to have my brain die on me again.

Hoookay. Back to the notes.

Studying Shakespeare's "Othello" led me to memories of the competiton piece that brought my ex-school's band to the Top Band of 2001. For that competition piece was "Othello" as well, a piece composed as a background music to Shakespeare play, "Othello". As I read through the scenes, analysed the lines, the music nevertheless came floating back, memories of my grueling band practices flash through my mind.

"Othello", the music that brought our band through the SYF, from the Central Judging to the Finals, and finally to the Top for 2001. And now, I am studying "Othello" for my A-levels. If I were given a chance to attempt to conduct that song, I will.

5 movements, 5 acts.

Ah. Debating whether to go run later. I feel so nua.

That's it. After lamenting about how much I have to study blah blah blah, this just has to happen to me. I'm freaking sick. Spent all day in a daze, sleeping, waking up, sleeping again, wake up for medicine, and back to sleep again.

Finally realised how it feels like for those people who freeze to death. Last night's air-con temperatures were at a 26 degree celcius and I was covered with a thick sweater and shivering away under the blanket. Found it so hard to lie down and breathe easily, let alone sleep. Spent an hour feeling like that, breaking out in a fever yet shivering and wondering why since it was 26degree celcius. (?) Admist all the breathing difficulties and delirious fever I was experiencing, for a moment I thought I was infected with SARs. *gulp*

Finally managed to fall asleep, sweater blanket and all while I thaw myself out after I switched off the air-con.

Woke up in the morning with a throbbing head, had no choice but to fall back to my pillows again. *sigh* Dragging myself to the bathroom to wash up was a chore itself, had to get a chair to sit down while brushing my teeth for fear of falling over. Muscles and bones and everything have that tingling sensation. I hate falling sick. Especially during this study break. But maybe I could use a break. Yes, and finally got down to the doctor, after managing to puke out my breakfast along the way. What a waste of bread. Stumbled back home, and slept (yes sleep again!) for another 4 hours, and now I'm up for lunch. Feeling better after this rest, and I think I am gonna sleep, again after blogging this.

Damn. Screw the prelims.

Lost. Lost the motivation to study. My progress is getting slower day by day, yet I can't pick up the momentum I had last week.

Starting to feel really frightened about the upcoming prelims, as in, really freaking out. Yet people don't seem to notice how insecure I can be in my grades. I don't know how I did it before, I can't repeat it again. Can't seem to have it within my control to study. All I do is to freak out every night when I realise how much I have yet to cover, hoping to start the new day afresh, but my mind betrays me instead.

As for you, get off my back. Stop calling me, stop sms-ing me, stop inviting me out to lunch with you, because you're plainly disturbing me. I had to ask my mum to take my calls, so that I won't have to talk to you. Why must it be you and not him instead? Why do you have to do this to me when you know I am feeling my worst now? You don't have to abuse your status as a friend, because I can't take it. Stop pressurising me.

As for you, why don't you ever have anything to say to me? Do I know you that well after all? *sigh*

As usual, I wasted another day. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - wasted. At least 36 hours wasted in all.

Ooh. Josh Groban is so cute. His voice is fantastic. Another Russell Watson.

If he could just sing a song to me..I'll fall in love with his voice. *dreamy look* To Where You Are., by Josh Groban.

His voice to keep me going (in maths) through the night. The brillance of a tenor voice, to warm the cold, desolate and aloof feeling left floating around me.
