i think i get annoyed easily when i'm not feeling well/sick. i get short tempered, and snappy. and yes, i do make the effort to control myself but i guess to people it aint that effective.
paradigma2008 at ajc was good. it was about bridging social divides. and while it was pretty apt, i dont think it's really a biggggg problem or anything. yea. though i guess that's only cos i have education as a priority (dont most of us?) and when school occupies 12 hours of my day (it really does!) i havent much else to do with my time, as much as i'd want to.
guess i'm an example of why mindsets need to be changed. i have to admit that i'm comfortable with my life as it is, and having to adapt to change, alter my day, it's kinda a hassle? and it's kinda irritating to have to really change, change.
anyways, i'm feverish and my gastric's acting up. this week hasnt been awesome, (cept perhaps for the gp compre test results) and the seminar today of course.
thanks daron for the song. it's my song of the week. and it speaks to me.
Little Wonders; Rob Thomas
Let it go, Let it roll right off your shoulder Don't you know The hardest part is over Let it in, Let your clarity define you In the end We will only just remember how it feels
Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain
Let it slide, Let your troubles fall behind you Let it shine Until you feel it all around you And I don't mind If it's me you need to turn to We'll get by, It's the heart that really matters in the end
Our lives are made In these small hours These little wonders, These twists & turns of fate Time falls away, But these small hours, These small hours still remain
All of my regret Will wash away some how But I can not forget The way I feel right now
In these small hours These little wonders These twists & turns of fate These twists & turns of fate Time falls away but these small hours These small hours, still remain, Still remain These little wonders These twists & turns of fate Time falls away But these small hours These little wonders still remain
well, i have a lot of work to do ): i'm going to limit blogging to less than every alternate day. so yea.
and on a random note. i really miss mel.

speechless.
i really dont really like pw ): not because it's hard. but because it's a waste of time! i know i'm ranting, but i'm in a total bleah mood.
i have an hour more to do pw. aaand. there's the geog test on wednesday :/ aaand i have no idea what on earth is going on for gp! aaand there's pw tmr (OH MAN) aaand yea i basically have a lot of work.
actually, i'm fine with everything. it's just the pw. which i cannot handle. cos i'm practically doing it alone. like the most of the work and yeaaaa ):
so anyway. i guess to make myself feel better i ought to list out what i need to do- 1. Get the pw survey settled. 2. Chapter 3 of WR. 3. The emcee script. 4. ART 5. GP AQ
okay. i delegated for pw. but i still feel insecure cos no work is done.
and ): my boyfriend is busy.

i think it's gonna be a lousy weekend :/
Friday, July 25, 2008
busy on the weekends too.
okay. so i guess i've been straining myself. really need a break.
took early leave after the tour today, went to the docs, and ended up with four different tablets to take, and two different creams to apply to my shin and shoulder. also ended up with a two week pe mc.
this weekend- i've got choir tmr. and choir on sunday. and tim's bday party. and i wanna go shopping ! looks like i'm gonna be busy ): sighs.
Persistence.is.key.
Project Work Aim
Project Work is a learning experience which aims to provide students with the opportunity to synthesise knowledge from various areas of learning, and critically and creatively apply it to real life situations. This process, which enhances students’ knowledge and enables them to acquire skills like collaboration, communication and independent learning, prepares them for lifelong learning and the challenges ahead.
Learning Outcomes The learning outcomes identify the key areas of learning of the subject. Four learning outcomes are separately articulated: knowledge application, communication, collaboration and independent learning. While students learn to work in groups, they will also learn independently through self-reflection and evaluation of their own work processes. These learning outcomes exist in dynamic interplay rather than as compartmentalised and distinct categories.
and yes i still carry a school bag with heavy things.

shiny pager (:
today i felt a newfound sense of accomplishment.
daryl, jasmine and i did our ten km in the girls running time of one hour, forty five mins. i was happy. i was so happy. we did it (: i knew we could (: really goes to show that if you believe in yourself, anything is possible.
it was awesome, really. and it was just the trial ! cheering everyone on and everything, awesome. havent felt this way in awhile (:
which is awesome. but i'm tired now ): and i need to do art. shucks! have a good thursday everyone (:
random- i like this video. (:
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
i happen to be extremely worn out and pale today.
went to the doctors at 8.30pm on the way home. right shin contrusion. and it's pretty swollen, yea ):
andrew just messaged me smth totally sweet (: :D (awww.) love you!
Monday, July 21, 2008
tired much.
sometimes i feel like giving up, but i know i cant. i know i cant, not because i'm too weak, but because i cant afford to let others down.
i dont give up, because i push myself. because i remind myself that nothing can be worst. because i remind myself that no matter how much things seem to suck now, they'll get better.
i remind myself that you need me, and because of that, i really cant afford to crash.
in essence, i guess not giving up is about being able to tell yourself that things'll get better, even if you know that they really arent going to get better. and more so, it's about believing that things'll get better, because then, they will.
Sunday, July 20, 2008
i think my anger is generally very shortlived. and sometimes i get myself worked up for small reasons. heh.
i foresee shopping coming up :D (: rachelle sent me songs, yay!
not really looking forward to school tmr, which is weird.
caught Batman, The Dark Knight (: it was freaky and scary at parts, but the whole story line was really good. would have been better if i caught it with andrew, but it was good (: it's also the first movie that i teared at in a long time (:
i wannna find more research for art, but my printer's outta ink ): and so i guess i'm gonna re download itunes so i can add songs to my ipod :D yay. new songs, like finally. lolllll. though it means i have to go find my cds to reupload everything ): damn.

storms make trees take deeper roots (:
school today was good (: generally it is, i am after all very optimistic.
(the shorter posts are cos live updates on my life, i've realised, are unnecc.)
Wednesday, July 16, 2008
i am proud to be part of the 21st Student Council and glad to serve (: invest was in a word, AMAZING.
everything since then has been amazing. sometimes it seems so surreal, but pressure and worthwhile feelings makes it all real.
makes me see how much i've bounced. awesome really. and i'm very glad.
(i am very busy, hence the short update.)
Thank you everyone who has been there for me, encouraging me, and having faith in me. and congratulating me. i love you all (: -group hug ! i know this might seem insincere cos it's like a mass thanking. but you know, i really really do appreciate all your handshakes. thank you. i wouldnt be where i am without your support (:
Monday, July 14, 2008
because i love this song so much. and i think it suits me, singing wise and lyrics wise too.
today's rehearsal after six was awesome. art today was awesome too :D and andrew was sooooooooooo sweet :D almost made me cry! lol. loves.
invest tmr is going to be awesome ! i cant wait (: 21st, all the way ! p.s. andrew's nervous, hehe.
Rushing and racing and running in circles Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning Getting nowhere
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it Try to appear like I've got it together falling apart
Save me Somebody take my hand, and lead me Slow me down Don't let love pass me by Just show me how 'Cause I'm ready to fall Slow me down Don't let me live a lie Before my life flys by I need you to slow me down
Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear In the blur of fast forward I faulter again Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep getting nowhere
All that I've missed I see in the reflection Passed me while I wasn't paying attention Tired of rushing, racing and running falling apart
Tell me Oh won't you take my hand and lead me Slow me down Don't let love pass me by Just show me how 'Cause I'm ready to fall Slow me down Don't let me live a lie Before my life flys by I need you to slow me down
Just show me slow me down,slow me down
The noise of the world is getting me caught up Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it Just need to breathe, somebody please Slow me down
Sunday, July 13, 2008
slow me down.
invest is coming up. tomorrow's going to be a very long day - school until 6pm. rehearsal from 6pm until late.
tuesday's invest :D pretty exciting, and i'm looking forward to the response.
for now, i have alot of art hw to do, and i have SEVEN periods of art tmr ! so i think i better do my homework now. and on second thought, i think we wouldnt have so much art corrections to do for myes if the whole class was consistent and thorough and if miss kwa could see a collective effort in our work. yea.
so yea, i have three essays to write out in point form, and three sketches to do. oh joy.
this week i'm looking forward to- 1. Invest :D

andrew and i waited at the pit while tingyi and the others went to get the food (: then jeremy and andrew started the fire, while me, tingyi, linghui and huimin went down to the beach to take photos :D miss ong came to join us too, and we took jumpshots, HAHAHA. the photos turned out pretty nice, i'll post them once linghui sends them over (:
then once the guys were done, the girls took over with the cooking :D the food turned out pretty awesome ! the salmon was yummy, yummy ! and miss tan brought bacon wrapped around crabstick (: which was yummy yummy. the satay was yummy too (:
and kudos to tingyi for doing an awesome job with ordering the food, cos the amount was perfect! the only thing left over was CORN. lol. and kudos to jeremy and jun long for getting drinks, cos the amount was perfect :D there was loadsa ive left too, so we put it over the mesh when we were done bbq-ing, pretty cool ! seeing the water droplets trickle. and it sounded like rain (: then sarah, tingyi and i started to lame and see who could throw ice the furthest ! LOLLL.
it was getting late, we took a few class photos, then keagan had to go home ): so we said our goodbyes, and the rest of us slacked around, and talked crap as usual :D
then it was getting lateee, so andrew, me, tingyi, sarah, sam and teresa left the place (: took a bus to pasir ris, but by then it was already 10.30pm. andrew and i cabbed home (haha, it really does sound like we live tgh, but nah) and i got home at around half and hour late, lol.

Sterilization saves lives.
"but i just want to help my friends."
(: the week's flown by (: seems like only monday when we got exco results!
this weekend's going to be a nice break for me. I'm pretty much done with all my hw, cept the sketches which i have to do for art, and the references i have to find for my sculpture. i'm prolly going to do smth on consumerism and how it affects us.
ytd was a good day (: i'm so proud of the 21st Student Council and so glad to be a part of it (: you guys make me smile a big smile with all your efforts, really ! (: 21st !!! :D

i've got choir later, and we're singing Come to me for mass ! :D which is my favourite hymn, ever !
there's the class bbq for keagan tmr (: which the bf will be going for too, yay!
results wise, i've only gotten maths back, missed an A by Four marks (: but i'm pretty pleased with that grade.

i think it is horrible and extremely shocking how man exploits the environment for economic benefits.
the ice caps are melting, the polar bears are suffering, the sharks are dying, excessive amounts of fish are snatched from their homes unnecessarily, wild animals are being poached and forests are being burnt.
one word,
appalling.

confidence & standing up for what you believe in.
today started out not so good, but ended off pretty alright (:
stayed back to revise the monopolistic market sys until i understood it (: and knew what i didnt know (:
i guess i am a happy girl cos i did what i was skeptical about (: and that's relieving (:
i have no hw for today (can you believe it?) and since i studied earlier, i think it should be safe if i went to bed early (:
