DEFINE MY MADNESS{all this time}
Labels: love
So, I am officially sixteen on Monday. Just like what I had anticipated, the guys celebrated my birthday in the canteen in the presence of soyabean. Uh... it is chaos. Everything just flew by in a blur and all i could remember is the scene when Jiajia announced to the whole world that it's my birthday today. She even added that she should have screamed louder which obviously, isn't the best idea of course. It is lucky that she didn't use a loudspeaker. However, it amazes me at how a petie chicken like her could release that of sound waves that almost made me go deaf.
Not to deny, I am, of course happy that you guys did not forget about my birthday. In fact, you guys have made it so much like a grand celebration that really made my day. I wasn't really expecting this much, but still, thank you for everything that you guys have done. So here, I shall express my heartfelt thanks to everyone, the 4E peeps, my 2E friends and lovely Sotong and Kim. I really do appreciate it, especially the Soyabean part. Though it is kind of embarrassing with everyone staring at us, it is still a moment of a lifetime. lol.
Eventually, at the end of the day, I trudged home with two big bags of gifts, most of them related to beauty! From the 4E peeps, I received a DKNY perfume, a soyabean toy and a lovely card. While, from the 2E clique, I received a box of Hakubi pills and a papaya shower gel. As I have told you so, I am a beauty junkie. I guess I m stating the obvious, isn't it?
Life goes on, and once again, the weekends were here before we realised it. Night study had officially started on the day of my birthday and the response wasn't too bad. In my opinion, night study could only be considered productive if you were to shoot questions at the teachers regarding all the doubts on the subject and probably, including the going-through of your mistakes made in prelims. Unless that is the case, I don't really see the point in going. So as long as I have arranged a slot with a teacher, I think that it is worth it in staying in school till wee hours in the night.
Something to add on, in the mist of mugging, I have made an unexpected discovery. I saw a totally different side of Soyabean; so mesmerised in doing his work. Aww... SO CUTE!
This week had been hectic and chaotic. Not so much on the studies angle but more on my soyabean matters. Things are just going too fast for me and sometimes I just couldn't believe it. Those obvious stares, those reality look-alike dreams, those confessions and rumours.... are just constantly sprouting in my life. No longer am I lying in a pool of doubts; it is a good sign at least, but sometimes it just worries me. My fairytale is coming true and there from afar, I could see my soyabean amidst the whirlpool of sand reaching out for me. And there I called out "Here I am, Soyabean, here,"
Yes, happy as I am, though this crush that has been existing for such a agonising long time is becoming a reality, worries still bombards me. Now that the 'o's are nearing, studies should my main concern. But both studies and soyabean are my priorities in my life. I m contemplating. Of course, it is obvious which is the clear cut winner but still, I am unable to put it down. Even though the time has not been ripe yet, I think it will soon be a time when I come to that decision, very very soon.
Yes, I'll wait.
For once, I am sure that the time I've taken, is not wasted.
It will be a long time before I release my next post.
Labels: fear factorJust one more day before I crash down; into your world. Uh...I am so nervous and anxious. My palms are sweating and I doubt I would be able to take it tomorrow. Most probably, I would be fleeing away from you and all the others. I know this is so irony but I just couldn't stop it. I want to give you your cookie, Soya.
A week had passed and it's down to 4 weeks before o levels start. Prelims results were announced and I did horrendously BAD. I guess my results are a bit to the extreme sides with me sccoring 3As and 2C6. Urgh...for once i shall say WTF. I had recently learnt this from Kim and Jon.lols.
Labels: Laughter is the best medicine.
Today's maths mock papers ended quite joyfully and with a relief. The papers weren't tough at all and so, many of us were caught prepared even though we did not even revise for it.
Of course, other than this unexpected maths test, there is still more to blog about. Apart from the usual nagging lessons, we had an enjoyable PE lesson which involved all of us learning the Japanese Folks Dance within the 35 minutes break. Probably as this is the first time we have ever had a dance instead of a PE lesson in this secondary 4 life, we were all very enthusiastic and shy at the same time about the thrilling dance module lined up for us. I guess, the awesome-est moment was when some of the guys tried to pretend they are gays and swayed their hips instead of lifting their legs up. Well, unexpectedly, Mr Lim caught them red-handed and announced to the whole class about their "wrong-doings" before the whole room rocked with laughter.
It have been some time ever since we had such a lesson!
Then, after recess, our supposed Chemisty lesson took change for the better (or is it worse?) with Mr Tien flashing our primary school photos to the whole class. No one expected it but for sure, everyone enjoyed the process of playing the 'guess, guess, guess' game. Of course, it was nice to laugh at some of the guy's photos but when it comes to your turn, oh man, that is the worst!
Luckily as for me, Tien did not dwelled much at my photo, and I was saved before anyone could laugh at me. However, not all were so fortunate as me, some of the girls suffered as the inconsiderate guys just literally laugh out loud without caring for their feelings, looking at them like some idiots. Awww...but still, everyone look so innocent and adorable then, haha, we are just ssssooooo cute! Sighs...I bet this is the most unforgettable lesson in my life. This is simply priceless! Not even Mastercard can beat it. lol.
Oh man, it's such an enjoyable day in school today. I love it!

Ok, enough of surprises here!
Today, being the official first day of the sec4's term4 had all of us expecting the dropping of bombshells. Well, this came as no surprise to me, but the real surprise came when we were given back both A/Emath papers.
Just as what we had anticipated, Ms Ng gave out the papers fast and furiously while, following her tradition of announcing everyone's marks. As what I could always foresee, I could imagine myself drowning in embarrassment as Ms Ng announced the worst score ever. So there I was, hoping for the inevitable before I realised that I was actually shaking and sweating profusely. Just then, the words "Jiahui," interrupted my train of thoughts and forced to jump out my seat before the words "60marks...good," trailed off, repeating itself over and over again in my head till I realised that it was a saving grace. For a moment, I was blinded by the truth, like a blind man being exposed to the first rays of sunlight he longed for his whole life.
Are you sure it is a 80-marks paper? I questioned myself doubtfully as I stared at the 60marks written on the paper. To make sure that I wasn't dreaming, I re-confirmed with Jolin and found out that I scored an unbelievable score of 60/80.
Oh well, but it seems like lady luck is shining on me. Good things does come in a series I guess.
So eventually, out of the 4maths papers that were returned back, I received 3 'good' s from Ms Ng which certainly pushed me on.
In conclusion, given the difficulty of the maths papers (esp Amath!), I have performed way beyond my expectations, scoring myself an A1 for Emaths and a PASS in Amaths! And not to forget the A2 for combined science. I could have prance for joy. You could never imagine my degree of happiness. It...it...is just...beyond words of description. Somehow, my hard work have finally paid off!
Ahhh...
What a beautiful reality!

Finally, after such a long wait, I finally lay my hands on the the 3rd book of the series, Eclipse!
It's time to let the story unfold.
Once again, the romantic novel continued with Edward and Bella being together, but this time round in more of a focus on the hatred between the werewolves and vampires. So, poor little Bella was caught in between the cross-fire of the two arch enemies who were equally dangerous to humans. Of course, one side had to give in in order to make Bella happy. And it is none other than Edward. Even though Edward seriously disapproved of bella's perlious friendship with Jacob-the werewolf at first, he eventually got to realise the part of her who yearn for that friendship and soon came to terms with her, allowing the frequent visits here and then by putting aside his personal affairs and his trust he had on her.
Wow, sometimes it just amazes me how the strong the bonds were between Edward and Bella. Alright, I admit that I am green with envy.
Labels: I did it again, OppsOPPS, I'm so sorry that I have accidentally pushed that 'sent' button on my keyboard, Manager Jeffery.
Oh, just in case if you are still unaware of the dire straits you are in, I m pleased to inform you that 3 complaint letters have been lodged on you. For your information, it is sent to the uh...Swenson's headquarters?! Oh... poor lttle thing, don't cry baby.
Just one last advice for you, I guess you should learn to respect students, especially your female customers. Don't think that you are the manager so you could push your luck, we aren't women to be bullied with.
*roll eyes*
Urgh... even after 3 days since this disaster happened, I am STILL very indignant about his horrendous service.
I could feel my blood rising.
If your head don't get back to me with an apology, I shall call/ fax/emailthem! Whatever it takes to let them realise how bad your service is.

It has been 2 days since we are being issued the "freedom pass",however, in just a day's time, this short lived happiness will soon be over. The homework pile awaits for me to touch them ever since I stopped doing that during the prelims. Now that Prelims had ended, it's back to the reality and for me to wipe away those dust that had settled their nest there. Ahh...How I wish time could stop as I lay lying in my bed, dreaming; dreaming about Soyabean. Oh... *takes a deeeeeep breath and sighs*
Ever since secondary 4 life has started, our weekends have never been like one. From Monday to Saturday, 6 out of 7days, we are being reserved for classes. And with that remaining one day off, oh don't mention it, in my case, that is reserved for tuition. Having a undisturbed morning sleep is just impossible.
So...today started off with me going back to school. We were given back the biology mock and prelims paper. And surprisingly, something to celebrate that is: I passed the mock which means that I m the second in the level for comb sci(bio/chem). Oh well...but that is only mock papers! (Hey Kim, you own me a Swenson's ice-cream)Prelims was quite badly done, though it was better than I expected.
Went to compass and had a Tom-and-Jerry chase with me being the cat and Ellin being the puny mouse. Finally, the chase ended with us huffing and puffing in the moving bus, and that's when I ate my puny mouse. lol, I am just kidding. I represented the reat and gave her the presesent in the bus. Oh...what a celebration!
Then took a nap and headed off to tuition at Hougang before meeting LianZhi and Isabella at Mcds. We took a couple of hours reminiscing the old school days and eventually ended off buying Lian zhi's balloon hat. We paraded off since then, with almost everyone turing their heads to catch the attention-grabbing big bloated hat fitted in his what seems like, puny head. lols.
Reached home at 10 and had dinner. I am too tired but I still have tuition work to rush. URGH!
The trip to Orchard turned out to be what I have NOT expected. It was quite tedious and tiring, actually, during the BIG search for Ellin's present. Though after hours of loitering at Kino, we ended up with nothing and was back to the basics again, considering my only suggestions of buying Kino vouchers. The search for Ellin's present is the worst nightmare ever. Ever did i find shopping such a bore!
Probably because I was anticipating too much for the clothes in Far East, I was utterly disappointed upon seeing those racks of clothes which obviously doesn't suit my taste. Instead, the stores in Wrisma Atria actually carried most of the clothes that I like. Almost every single piece, ranging from dresses to heels to casual-wear T-shirts.... is an eye catching one, Mmmm...Oh gosh,I am head over heels over shopping again.
As usual, because it is such a rare opportunity for us to gather at such a faraway place, we had a big feast on food today, picnicing at a cosy little corner at the fountain with Tako-balls, ice-cream and some mee gorey look-alike.
Though this trip is supposed to be a mission for finding Ellin's present, we ended up doing shopping most of the time, boring the guys with tears. Eventually, we settled for a magnet, Kino-vouchers and a book as presents for Ellin.
Okay then, yawns.... It's time to get some sleep!
Here's the photos we took today!

Labels: neutralYup, I m back with the updated copy of the letter.
Though this seems to be a little overboard, I guess it is only fair that I report the facts with my personal opinions on the poor service. Truthfully, I am really very mad on what he did to us beacause we are students. Therefore, I wrote this letter, stating on the facts with my views which, of course, could be subjected to changes.
Here it is:
Dear Sir/Madam
Complaint on service rendered at Swenson’s
My friends and I have recently patronised the Swenson’s restaurant outlet located at Compass point on 11 September 2008. We have always been aware of the great reviews and excellent service standards provided at every Swenson’s outlet and were looking forward to celebrating a birthday and tasting the top-notch ice-cream that Swenson’s is renowned for. However, we were utterly shocked and thoroughly dissatisfied on the atrocious service rendered by the outlet manager, Jeffery.
The occasion proved to be a disastrous when our initially joyous mood was ruined by the inadequate and disconcerting service rendered to us. We were a large group of about 10 and this could be partly the reason why the outlet manager gradually felt irritated and became slightly annoyed when we settled for a 5 scooped ice-cream and a complementary “firehouse” ice-cream. In addition, during the course of taking our order, he was extremely mindful of our slow decision making, but isn’t it still the customer’s prerogative to take as much time as we need to carefully consider our orders?
Furthermore, out of the blue, he questioned the table and asked whether we were aware of which ice-cream flavour contained alcohol. Though he did mention that he was only engaging in friendly conversion with us, I certainly did not appreciate the question and felt disturbed as it was fairly demanding and rather inappropriate, even if he did have the positive intention of building relations with his customers.
In response, I replied “probably the yummy raisin one,” but was taken aback when he snapped, asserting that Swenson’s only served Halal food and would definitely not sell ice cream that contained alcohol. He even added that I could be sued for even making such a statement. I felt extremely exasperated and furious by the fact that he did not bother to explain why that was so but instead, focused heavily on how we could be sued. Though we understood that he was merely trying to protect the company’s reputation, and had the company’s interests at heart, but he could have spoken in a less harsh tone and possibly help us clear our misconceptions in a friendly manner as we did not harbour any negative intent. Moreover, he was the one that suddenly asked the question, disrupting our conversation. I believe his purpose was to clear our doubts over the yummy raisin flavoured ice cream, nonetheless, he was crude throughout the conversation and made us feel as though he was about to pick a fight.
Later, as we were served the ice-cream, he warned us that only the birthday girl was allowed to eat the free “firehouse” ice cream. Even though he had said that in a light-hearted voice, sounding as though he was joking, in reality, he did check up on us and had once again, disrupted our conversation when he saw my other friends sampling the “firehouse” and “jokingly” said that he would confiscate the ice-cream if we did it again. I do not reckon that such a policy really exists within the company.
By the time we finished our desert, it was only noon and the restaurant was still relatively empty, with more than 70% of the seats vacant. Therefore, we decided that staying in the restaurant for a little while more to chat was of no disturbance before leaving. Yet, it seemed like the manager was watchful of our presence in the restaurant and even strolled past several times until we could no longer stand his constant glaring. As we stood up and left for payment at the cashier, we decided to fill in feedback forms we had located, but, upon seeing us do that, he felt threatened and even said, in a threatening voice, “wow, why are so many of you taking feedback forms? To complain me?” We ignored him and left to post the feedback forms, and, at which point, he rushed out of the restaurant and maintained a menacing gaze on the group as though we did not have the right to give feedback on his service.
The manager’s sarcasm and poor service during the meal really made us ponder and reconsider whether to step into another Swenson’s restaurant again. His behaviour has truly left a negative impression on my friends and I and this could cause us to reassess the reputation of the Swenson’s chain and the service standards rendered there. If the manager is said to be the head of the restaurant, it is beyond doubt that he is certainly incapable of establishing a good example to the staff of the outlet with such n uncouth attitude and appalling service standards. I hope that action will be taken to improve the situation, possibly imposing a warning or reprimanding the staff at hand. Thank you.
Yours faithfully
TanJiahui
Labels: get this off my chestIn just an hour's time, I shall be in the heart of Singapore, doing my retail therapy! Whhhoooo... It's indeed a very long agonising wait for this tortuous Prelims to be over, and finally, a chance for me to breathe and relax. This time round, we 4E girls and uh...a few guys are finally out for shopping...wheee...at least not some class outing again!
Erm...probaly also going to the 2e Badminton mayhem at Hougang spots hall with my awkward heels.lols.
I m SO looking forward to it.
I m elated.
I m over the moon!
See yeah guys in the night=) I sahll post an updated copy of the letter again!
Labels: indignant
On this fateful day, we went back for Biology papers, occupying less than half of the hall capacity. Insecurity overwhelms me as I glanced over to the nearest class4I which seemed like they were a thousand miles away from us. I bet we looked like insignificant dwarfs to them because they definitely look like one to me.
But the paper was tough even though I was so confident at first. Soon, as I attempted more questions, my confidence just went spiraling down, all the way down down down, reaching the minimum level. What an unexpected outcome.
Next, we headed to compass under the hot menacing sun while the journey fuelled my dislike for sun rays even more. I have always had a distaste for those bright, threatening sun rays who are definitely capable of adding a few wrinkles and lines here and there, worse of all, stimulating those melanin production in my skin. Ew... it just turns me off. But since the guys insisted in plodding there, I have no choice but to rely on the pathetic hoodie as my one and only defence weapon.
Finally, after what seems like eternity, we reached McDonald's and had breakfast. I have finally understood how small the world has become when I met Shina, Winne and Hui Qi there. Apparently, it's Gu Yue's birthday so they are planing a surprise party for her. Well, at least it is waaaay better then mine. I recalled my "celebration" last year which was held in the chalet after a "short" period of 3 months when my birthday officially ended.
Call it a celebration! I was the ultimate target of those water bombs which they had secretly planned beforehand. Imagine six mad women chasing after me! But luckily, with the gift of stamina and the luxury of not wearing a obvious colour underneath, I am able to escape from the clutches of those evil mad women. Coming to think of it, I believe we actually looked like some insanely mad women living in Hougang chalet. Sadly, though I was able to dodge most most the bombs, somehow, I was still drenched from head to toe, just like everyone. In conclusion, I have only one word to offer: disastrous.
But still...water bombs are still fun to play with, especially when you know the right places to aim. Don't think dirty! lols.
After the blowing of a huge candle on reasonable bite-sized cake, we carried on partying by indulging in Swensons' icecream. The ice cream is, of course, mouth-watering. On the opposite, the service rendered by this manager called Jeffery is horrendous. I'm so furious after the whole incident that I took it to the next level of writing an official letter to the headquarters.
Could you imagine how mad I am, to actually take time out of my hectic life, to write a 710-words complaint letter?! He is just too over boarded.
Wait till and see my true powers, you podgy fat ass! *evil laugher*
Okays here's it:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Complaint on the service rendered at Swenson’s (Compass Point)
On 11 September 2008, my friends and I patronised the Swenson restaurant at Compass point and were utterly shocked and dissatisfied on the horrendous service rendered to us by the outlet manager, Jeffery.
In an effort to celebrate my friend’s birthday, we patronised the restaurant for its famous ice-cream. However it turned out to be a disastrous trip when our joyous mood was ruined by the disrespectful, unsatisfactory and disturbing service rendered to us. Partly because of the large group of 10 people we had, the manager was irritated and extremely impolite when we only settled down for a 5 scooped ice-cream and a complementary free ice-cream “firehouse”. In addition, during the course of taking orders, he was extremely mindful and irritated of our slow decision making, though it is still the customer’s prerogative to take as much time we need to carefully decide on the orders, isn’t it?
Even worse, he took it off and popped out questions, randomly asking us which ice-cream actually contained alcohol. Though he did mention that he was just making a friendly conversion with us, I did not appreciate it and I felt disturbed as it seemed of a more demanding kind of question rather than a build-relations-between–customer-and-staff question. I casually responded “probably the yummy raisin one,” but was taken aback when he snapped, alleging that Swenson only serves halal food and would definitely not sell an alcoholic ice cream. He even added that, just by me saying this statement, I could be sued. Thus, I am extremely annoyed and angry at the fact that he did not explain to us why but instead focused more on how we could be sued. Though we understand that he is trying to protect the company’s reputation and has the company interest at heart, he could have told us nicely and not snapped at our misconceptions. Moreover, it is just a guess and we were not even spreading rumours nor discussing about the yummy raisin ice cream in the first place.
Secondly, since he was the one to pop the question out of randomness, disrupting our conversation, I guess his purpose was to clear the doubts of yummy raisin ice cream. However, from the way he crudely talked and replied, I felt that he actually seemed to be picking a fight.
Then, when the ice-cream was being served, he warned us that only the birthday girl could be allowed to eat the free “firehouse” ice cream. Although he sounded as if he was joking, he actually did check on us and once again, disrupted our conversation, when he saw my other friends sampling the “firehouse”. He even “jokingly” said that he would confiscate the ice-cream if we did it again. I really wonder if there is such a policy in your company.
When we finished our deserts, it was only noon and the restaurant was still rather empty, with more than 70% of the seats empty. Hence, we stayed a while more to chit chat before leaving. However, it seemed that the manager was mindful of our presence in the restaurant and even strolled past us several times before we could not stand the atmosphere of him staring at us all the time. We soon stood up and left for payment at the cashier. It was then, we decided to fill in the feedback forms, but upon seeing us doing that, he felt threatened and even said, “Wow, why are so many of you taking feedback forms? To complain me?” in a very threatening voice. We ignored him but the last straw happened when he rushed out upon seeing us posting the feedback forms. He held a threatening gaze for several seconds as if we did not have the right to feedback on the service.
With that, and his sarcastic humour throughout the whole lunch, my friends and I will definitely ponder before heading down to Swenson’s for lunch again. If the manager is said to be the head of the outlet, I wonder how he is able to set a good example to the staffs with this kind of attitude and service standards towards customers.
From: a dissatisfied customer.
YOU SHALL DIE!

Biology students are so ill-fated! We have to come for school for the next two days while the Physics students need not! Uh...baised school. *sulking*
But at very least, Mr Koh offically announced over the mic just now that Sexy Seah wanted us back on Friday for the going through of papers, haha, at least this time round everyone have to come back. hehe! *evil grin*
I have just came back from the History and Maths paper and it was...awesome! In fact, I think I did pretty well for History as I completed almost all the questions under such time constraint. Thank god=) The hints which Ms Joseph gave were also quite accurate, giving me a huge relief when I set my eyes upon the essays questions. However, I got a shock of my life when I flipped and saw the source based question. What?! Cuban missiles Crsis?! Wow, definitely a crisis for me! Urgh...I ssoooo freaking dead! Probably due to the effects of Rahim voice, I seemed to remember the bits and pieces of Cuban so was eventually saved. Surprsingly, this is the only time that my memory works this well. Erm...I hope the kind of miracle happens in my 'O's. lols.
Unfortunately, source A is hard, isn't it? I don't even see President Ken in the picture, so eventually sort of gave up looking for him and instead started focusing on the minor details. All right, after much close inspection on the picture I am glad to announce that I have found a significant trend in ALL the men.
THEY ARE SERIOUSLY SUFFERING FROM BALDNESS! 
Just in case if you forgot how they actually looked like.
Haha...I was secretly grining to myself upon making this BIG discovery and went on imagining Rahim's face during the examination. Oh well, I was trying my very best not to make any sounds though it is seriously hard. After much effort, I finally settled down and continued with the other questions, hoping to spot some funny traits here and there but to no avail.
Over lunch just now, I announced my BIG discovery and yeah, got the expected reactions of the guys grasping for air and hugging their tummy. Well, I bet it is indeed a Worth-to-mention distcovery. Probably they are so stressed up to the point that their hair falls down literally in the room. I bet the cleaner sure have loads of work to do. HA! All right, enough of my crapping, I shall start my Biology revision soon!
P.s just in case if you need some solutions. Here's it:

Being an earthling for more than a decade, I m embarrassed to confess that I DO NOT know how to eat a crab. All right, I know this is stupid, but I had to rely on my dad to feed me crabs. Don't laugh!
If you have been an avid reader of my bog, you should have known that I have a thing for the combination of crab(sauce)and 'man tous' BUT surprisingly, crabs alone does not gives pikes to my taste buds as what man tous did. What an irony! I know I m one right weirdo here.
So it was dinner time just now, and we had a crab feast. The aroma of the fleshy cooked crabs waffled through our nostrils and was responded by the rumbling of my stomach. But being a noob in eating crabs, nothing is all what I could do. No man tous, no sauce, only those fleshly bits hidden under the hard-like-diamonds, stubborn shells. Oh well,sighs...
So there I was, staring at the plate of crabs over dinner just now, wondering what to do with them.
Option1: Demand my dad to feed me.
Option2: Demand my grandma to feed me.
Option3: Do nothing.
But without a sound, both my dad and ah ma had already sank their teeth into those fleshy, juicy crabs when I was still there, dazed. So I broke the deadly silence and made my confession: " Almighty, I don't know how to eat a crab," CRAP!
Seconds later, I was officially enrolled in my dad's how-to-eat-a-crab class, being the one and only student he will ever have, while he beamed with excitement on coaching me the first step to eating crabs. I started off with pincers, the easiest of all.
After much torment, after ALL the the peeling of shells, phew, I was finally done with my first pincer; in my life! Great! *flashes my million dollar smile and demanded for a round of applause*
Sadly, my effort was washed away in just a swift action of me taking just a REASONABLE bite. It is gone! Oh well, what a spoiler! Being mindful of the torturous process of peeling the crabs, I decided to give it a miss while I continued with the other dishes.
Unexpectedly, my dad reaches out and gave me another pincer, followed by the another, and the another. I, of course, was taken aback, utterly shocked at his weird acts. At first, I acted like a little girl, thrilled at the F.O.C pincers and exclaimed a "yay!" before indulging in those tiny delights. But soon after, it became so much like a never-ending action that I decided not to react. It will sound too much like a radio going bonkers! Imagine... yays, yays, yays...?! Since then, the awkward silence remains. But silently, deep in my heart, I was really touched by my dad's selfless acts. Almost every crab that he tediously peeled was sent to my bowl. I am speechless.
My dad, being a very unassuming guy and a very not expressive guy, has never really expressed his emotions nor feelings well, but these actions made me come to my senses and realised the underlying the so-called family love. My eyes welled a little with tears while I fought them back bravely, hoping that my soft whiffing sounds did not betray me.
The other day, while I was on the phone rambling on about my daily life, feeling kinda bored, I drew a little circle and an exclamation mark on the 22nd of September, in which I wrote a reminder for my family, "the nicest girl birthday". Since then, my dad took it off and sparkled a new nickname for me as "the nicest girl" which was usually followed by the smirk and sneering on his face. I was like, my dad talked!? Worse of all, he had emotions on his face!
Uh...Awesome! *after several seconds*
Once again, I shall confess that I have failed terribly in understanding my dad, despite living under the same roof with him for more than a decade. Since I had once declared him as the lamest guy on earth, I shall now award him the tittle of "the nicest dad on earth". But remember, I am still the Nicest girl. *wink wink*
Labels: self control neededI am feeling so guilty right right now. Instead of using my time to study those Historical characters, I am using my precious time to blog. I am online for 10 mins and yet it felt as if only 5 seconds has just passed. Because of blogging, part of which to type in complete sentences and improve my English, I have become a computer addict. Not so much compared to mirrors. You know, but it is getting seriously bad.
Last night, a supposedly half an hour break stretches to a 6 hour long break. Call it a break?! At 3am, i am still talking about food with Nigel. Sighs...I should have start my History studies yesterday and not till now. Probably, it is Human nature to do stuffs in this way, especially when you have no self control. Lols.
Take a break, have a kit-tat
Next time, when I need a break, I shall have a kit-tat instead.
Just to sidetrack a little, I am actually starting to like the opening song Hot and Cold by Katy Perry. Crush by David Archuleta is not bad too.
Labels: soyabean still as cute as everIs it fate or destiny? I always wonder. You stupid Soyabean! Aren't you tired of running in my mind all day?! You suck! I hate this! Don't smile cause it melts my heart, don't come closer anymore. Don't you ever appear in my dreams again. When did I become like this? You crept into my mind, you crept into my dreams, you crept into my life. Now, you are occupying a whole lot of it. It is an O-S-S-E-S-S-I-O-N.
Sighs...you will always my soyabean, forever and ever, no matter what.
I m writing this in great distress, trembling in fear. I am curious, I m anxious, I m afraid of the future that lies ahead of us. Will we ever...?
You make me wonder again, sicko.

The worst had arrived. Like what everyone has been dreading about, the holidays are over! In fact, it ended in such a swift rate, just like the speed of a heart attack. Everything just happened so... unknowingly that it takes me a couple of seconds to know that I am dying soon. In fact, if I were to choose, I would rather be dead right now, like seriously.
Still, life goes on.
Despite the occupation of monday blues in me, I still dragged my feet to the school, facing the inevitable Prelims. Sighs...though given the long break, it is (probably)reasonable to expect a little more from us, as in results. But I seriously feel that the teachers shouldn't carry too much hope. Supposedly, this week-long break is the LAST AND ONLY break-through that we could make, however most of us STILL remained as lazy bums and did not really make full use of this 'luxury week'. To put it simply, we are still unaware of the dire straits we are in.
History repeats itself and once again, I am overwhelmed with regerets. The only difference is that, this time round it happens at a later date, at a diiferent timing, at a different scenario but of the same reason- I m slacking too much. For people like Jon, it is the computer games addiction. For people like Kim, it is the addiction to television and probably horny magazines?! lols. However, for me, it is none of the above. It is something out of the ordinary but definitely queer.
It is my obsession to mirrors. And uh...probably Soyabean!?
Truthfully, everyday without fail, I would stand in front of the mirror for hours (uh...probably not this much. maybe an hour at most) and stare at the mirror, looking for imperfections. Sometimes, even in the course of studying, I would just stand up suddenly and look at the mirror closely, looking for flaws. Even a strain of stray hair gets on my nerves! I know it is getting just too much but I couldn't stop it. My obsession to perfection and flawless skin is just getting overbearing. If this goes on, I know that 'O's would definiely be a big problem to me. And this, would be the biggest obstacle to my success.
In just a matter of time, in fact with in 22days' time(my own schdule) it will soon be the starting of the 'O' levels. From this moment on, especially after the prelims, it will be a mayhem. Time would fly in the speed of sound. Nothing would be able to stop it and soon, with each passing day, it simply means the closer I am to the deadline, my death. The 'O's will arrive in no time and there lies my coffin. This could happen, face the music! My future lies in my hand. Only I, ME and MYSELF could be able to change my fate.
I must avert my attention to studies. I must! I must! I must! ROAR.ROAR.ROAR. Concentate and persevere is the key! Studies first, Soyabean second.
Sighs...
Labels: A torturous day without soyaToday, I shall declare my dad as the 'LAMEST GUY EVER' *round of applause please*
Stating the obvious, knowing me as a friend for a probably two years?! I guess it is quite distinct that I am a very lame person, in fact probably a random person as well, as what Kim has always been saying. But...the pathetic thing is, staying in the same house for a period of decade and even more to come, I failed to understand this person. That is none other than my dad! I never knew he possess this kind of humour?! Wft.
Listen closely. My dad called the house in my house! wft. Could you imagine it? Oh well, how lame could he get.
I was like 'Hello, who are you looking for?'
dad: YOU! Come down right now?
me: where? You mean like downstairs?
Dad: Then? and he started mumbling a list of places like wad poi chai, oh wadeva *roll eyes*
Me(could not believe my ears): You mean the kitchen? You mean you are calling from the kitchen?
Dad: yes! U r deaf!
I am like what the hell? Oh gosh, guess what? If that is the case, you could jolly well imagine my house as a massive gigantic palace with a thousand over maids serving us, and not to forget those dozens of lifts in my house. OK STOP IMAGINING! The reality is it is not! My house is just a pathetic tiny house in the corner of the road. Oh well, probably with just an additional staircase but... BUT it is still very very odd and very queer indeed, to reach me by a phone, worse of all, it is calling from my house to my house?! Oh well, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!
Well done daddy! Probably it's time to fix a couple more phone lines. Just imagine, four lines in my house?! Oh...Sarcasm is in the air. Haha.
*Please take note: this is a post written on the 5th, Friday*

The day that we have all been waiting for-Thursday, has finally arrived. Yays!
Why?
Because it's a soyabean mission day! I am glad that soyabean turned up, aaww...he is still so very cute after almost a week of not seeing him!
4DEFH were expected to be back for History lesson in the meeting room today, but definitely not all were well-disiplined enough to head back to school. Fortunately, most of the 4Es returned back. Surprising enough, it is not quite a drag. Uh...probably just a litle ( I really mean little! ) boring sometimes. It is quite a bit hard on rahim through. You know, his voice hasn't been very good and he literally have to scream at his top of his voice in order to complete with the noise level in the massive meeting room. Sighs...he almost blow his top, yeah, almost. Poor Rahim! I guess he just got a little too fed- up with the noise pollution that he started issuing quite a number of "yellow" cards. That is when red means you are offically invited to scram! Lols.
Anyways, that duration of an hour in the meeting room turned out to be a disturbing, disasterous, sickening lesson since Eunice was right behind me. Constantly throughout the lesson, she was disturbing a group of innocent young girls like me, Olivia and Jolyn by trickling us with her fingers or what-so-ever (feathers, maybe?), sweeping her fingers down to our spine, calling us darling or Honey. Oh well, just in case if you are living in the dark in your life, this is Euince.
In fact she had even told Kim about how she wish Kim could, ahem, strip her bra in the night. Oh man, she is looking for trouble telling this to horny Kim. Oh well, I guess you could never stop her when she gets too hot. Hahaha.
Soon after, we left for compass and started the JiaRui's present search. It turned out fine, just that because most of us were broke, a small problem cropped up and we couldn't buy much cause of that.
As usual, we surprised him with gifts and sang a birthday song at KFC, discreetly, since we did not buy any cake. After the celebration at KFC, me and Jolyn headed to Jack's place for student meal and it was yummlious! Whhhooo...I love Jack's place! Ok fine, don't ever start me talking about food because you could never stop me talking about them.
Alright folks, that 's all for today.
Off to watch some That 70's show!
Labels: soyabean still as cute as everHi everyone, I am back.
It's been quite a while since I have blogged and I know lots of you have been complaining how dead it is. I have been occupied with quite a number of things recently and since then, has kept my posts really short.
It is Wednesday already and there shall be history class tmr. The September holidays are so coming to an end. Urgh... Time really flies.
Achievement during the weekends: I completed New Moon! Yays!
Actually, it is not that I m busy doing some intensive revision or what-so-ever, it's the Twilight series (in this case, the New Moon) that had kept me so occupied these days. The book is just so inviting and each time I opened it, it never fails to keep me occupied for at least an hour or two. Seriously, I never thought I would be so addicted to books. I have never like reading since young but under the growing influence of readers around me and the need for me to improve my English standards, I decided to give it a try and it works!hehe. Once again, Bella and Edward has reunited after a small break up. I am so glad they are back together again! This time round, the story is kind of dry in the starting but when the story is coming to an end, you never know how it just sets my heart beating, especially when Bella is in the rescue mission to save Edward. It is just so...thrilling.
Moving on, on the first day of September Holidays- Monday, I woke up at 8am and did some Geography and Biology before heading down to Jumbo for dinner. The food standards there has improved but this time round, we ordered black pepper crab instead of Chili crab. I m not quite a fan of crabs but you just never know how great a combination the sauce of Chili crab is when coupled when 'man tous'. Sighs...I was sulking the whole thing through. You should never give the chili crabs a miss when you patronise Jumbo, seriously. Don't forget to pack some for me! just kidding.
The funny thing is, ha, my brother ridiculously gobbled down the plates of food so much that he felt like vomiting. My mother was like hovering around him with a plastic bag just in case he vomited in that pathetic 3 min interval from Jumbo to my home. Because of that, my mum decided to skip the trip of going to Chomp Chomp for deserts and ever since,I fell into abyss of depression. I looked at the ever crowded chomp chomp dwindling at its size while my dad sped like some F1 racer, it just hurts so much. Nooo....my deserts! Nah..I am just kidding, I m just feeling slightly annoyed.
Oh yea, and without realisation it is Tuesday! OMG! The combined science students went back for practical before heading down to Olivia's surprise party. Let the pictures do the talking then.
Say cheese!
Mei Jun busy sampling those F.O.C samples at counters. Uh well who is that girl, do I know her?! *run for life* haha.
Wow...presents! A whole lot of food!
Bite it off!
Woo...earthquakes. The dried ices seemed to have melted.
The party ended at swensons but some of us continued the sort of party at Kim's house watching THAT 70's SHOW! I just could not stop grasping for air. It is hilarious esp that Fred, Ahhh...I need air, I need air...
However It is such a pity as we could not expose Kim's dirt secret. You know...those ahem magazines. Hahah. She must have hide it under those beds. I could so well, imagine that horny look on her face... Uh...better run before she hits me again! Look out, Kim!
Realisation dawned on me.
Uh-oh, it is already in the mid of September Holidays, Wednesday. I fumbled for my books and pens and did some intensive revision...which sort of,... failed. Firstly, it is not intensive. I went munching for food within those study sessions since my attention span isn't quite long. Secondly, I took a total of three naps cause my bed just seems so inviting. My blanket just seem to be pleading for me to cuddle it, my pillows just seemed to be screaming for my company and my Lama(that is my sheep) seems to be speaking to me, nah just kidding. Hallucination, hallucination. In short, it FAILED cause the weather is so cooling. Blame the weather! HA.
Ok fine, this holiday does not seem to be that productive after all. I know we are meant to study and mugged till our nose bleeds but...without motivation, without those uh... stress levels, things just don't get struck in our heads. Darn it, get in! whatever semen, oesophagus, villi, just get in and never come out! Roar. I m just kidding, esp the semen part. Don't think dirty Kim!
Off to study that moustached guy. who else?
Hilter.
