:/ RIP Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

days till trials: 50
days till SPM: 144

Great isn't it? and I'm still here staring at the computer screen instead of my books. I'll be off to study in a while so don't worry. Trials is important for my future, for any Form 5's future. Our life hangs on that examination. Everything boils down to trials. IF you do well in trials, you basically have a ticket to sail through SPM. Isn't that what we all want? Isn't it? School schmool.

merder

that IS SO PERFECT. :)

na-na-na

That's a picture I did not take. The wonders of Flickr. :) :)

You know something? I have a few "things". As in things which are 'my things'. You know, like I'm good at it [or at least kinda good at it].

(warning.. pompous big headed Grace coming up. reader discretion advised.)

Theatre is my thing.
Talking fast is my thing.
Musical theatre is my thing.
Crapping is my thing.
NOW, I intend to make swimming my thing.

I like swimming. How can you not like swimming? Its such fun being 1/10th lighter in water. I love swimming. So now, swimming shall be my thing. okay? i don't care whether you agree with me or not. -_-

SCHOOL again tomorrow. There's been a reported case of H1N1 in one of the primary schools in Petaling. SADLY, its not my school. or we'd have no school. i like NO school. NO school is GREAT.

Days to trial: 54 (give or take a day)
STUDY people!

I told you I run this town :)

que carlor,que carlor,que carlor,que carlor,que carlor.

Piragua. haha. :D I love that song

***

Let's put some stuff into perspective
1. SPM TRIALS IN 59 days. WOW.
2. Results (mine) are almost the same/slightly worse than first term. I need to see improvement people. lolol.
3. Tomorrow is the OFFICIAL stepping down day as exco. Unlike some people I can't wait. Well most of us can't wait. yay.
4. Study people. no time for games. but there is time for piragua. :) :) :) :)

alright. toodledoo.

boricua bad boy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

backstreet's back

90's music is nice. haha. Listening to Backstreet Boys. remember them? :) 90's had a lot of boy bands and bands in general right?

school schmool.
:/

?

School on Monday. should I be happy or should I be blue? I honestly have no idea. What to do now that SPM is only 3/4 months away. Study and get myself properly organised of course. which is a wonder of what I'm doing here.

PI PI PI PI PI PI

haha. :) :) :) true true. how sad are people?

paradigm shift

I had a heart to heart talk with the most unlikely person in the world. I was shocked and glad that I was able to hear her out for the first time. Its surprising but sometimes the world breaks you (or people do) and you lean whoever is available. THIS is probably one of the memorable times in my whole high school life. in all honesty, wow.

Happy Birthday to Miss Lee Jenn who's been such a dear person to me and to the rest of my circle of friends (harharhar). Congratulations on being 17. :)

And to Katrina, thank you for calling last night. sorry I turned my phone off on you.. i was half asleep since it was school today. SORRY and thanks. I'll live up to my word this time.

On the more serious and thoughtful note, I think my life has sort of come full circle since Form 1. I'm kinda back where I started. Hm, maybe not full circle but a reasonable well shaped polygon. I'm not exactly where I started but somewhere along it with a better head on my shoulders and experiences backing me up.

Just this past few days have broken me down and helped me to see who is who in my life and how messed up my priorities have been lately. I've forgotten the importance of God in my life, I've forgotten who matters. I started my day differently today and it has been different for me. When you look through better lenses to the life you're living, everything is such a different place. Everything is much better and more beautiful that you've known.

wrong uniform. haha.

(pictures are in no particular order)

To Miss Jessica Lee Jenn:

I’m wishing you another year
Of laughter, joy and fun,
Surprises, love and happiness,
And when your birthday’s done,I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to me,
More than you can know.
Happy Birthday and I'm sorry that I messed it up. :/

only hope

I'm watching A WALK TO REMEMBER and seeing the scene when Landon asks Jamie's father's permission to date his daughter makes me melt. That's so nice. :)

WHYYYY can't there be more Landons in this world for the rest of us?!?!
Maybe its because there aren't enough Jamies.

bother

hrm. hrm. hrm.

I don't think I can bring Jess anywhere for her birthday. oh dear. AND I got her hopes up. :( I feel like a horrible friend you know. This sucks. grarr. OH WELL. WHAT TO DO. :/ :/ I'll have to settle for just a present. :/

i'm a bad friend right?

what is this feeling?

goal? obvious right?

:)

LOLOLOL. :D

Wae and Waise

For the record, the previous post wasn't for you. It was for someone else but I guess we haven't talked about us right?

You are my best friend. You're forever my twin sister. I'm you freaking maid of honor!! I insist on it. :) I know we're apart but we're forever right? We're going to have each other forever. I'm sorry I didn't go for your farewell dinner. I'm sorry I didn't meet up last time. Its my fault I admit. I wish I could change that but well, we did have our moment in the rain right? (sounds very wrong and soap opera-ish but that's us right?) I miss having you around. I miss fighting with you. I miss giggling about Matt Long with you. I miss imitating Jess with you. I miss listening to your voice. I miss you so much. Remember POTO? Remember the performance on stage? I couldn't have done it without you. Remember STB? Remember Penguin? Remember being the Wallaby? Remember being joined at the hip? Remember eating mint ice cream from Baskin Robbins and laughing at my 'dripping' hand? I do remember WWotW. I also remember Shuanne-anne-anne-anne-anne Li. Do you? Remember the time we had that fight in Form 2? Remember the Never Ending Story during English club? Remember the chickens with bird flu?

There's so much we share together and no one can replace you, nor do I want anyone to. We don't have that much 'talk-time' but when we do we create memories. We come up with sillyness, we ask for advice, we listen to each other complain, we laugh about our celebrity crushes. I hate sharing you too which is why it hurt to see you with Michelle when we were in Form 2. I am selfish in that way so hey, we're a pretty good match right? We'll have best friends in the future, there's no way we won't. But we'll have us. That us that no one can ever change. We have a superglue that does stick us together. I'm glad I've have you as my best friend, my sister. You've changed me in more ways than one. You've helped me grow and opened my eyes to how big the world is. I KNOW I'm not the best friend I should be. Circumstances don't allow us to talk as often as we can but we have ESPN no matter where.

You're my best best best friend forever. Nothing can change that. No number of fights, no MILLIONS of miles or thousands of other friends can change/ will change that.

We're related, remember? Even if we claim to be seperate in the future, we never will truly be. Let's face it, we're stuck together and I'd hate to have it any other way. :)

"A true Friend is the one who holds your hand and touches ur heart "

how can you not know?

i miss talking to u grace, some how i really do. hope ill get in contact with u soon.

Oh dear.

Maybe I'm reading too much into that sentence but I ache to read it. Silly right? But tears did threaten to well up in my eyes. I'm over reacting right? Yeah, I probably am.
Its not that I don't want to. Its not that I don't consider you my friend but I'm afraid we don't have anything to talk about, you know. With you somewhere else there's a gap there. We don't talk about the same things anymore because what we had in common is hardly there. We talk whenever you come back but apart from that we don't communicate because we can't. I don't blame you for it, those are the circumstances. Each time we do talk, I hurt because I miss you. Remember how you call at midnight to make sure you have my full attention? I'd be half asleep when you'd say something stupid to wake me up. Now, I hate how it is. We've been so close since Form 1, you're my closest guy friend but now I'm scared of losing you. Are you?

I miss you too. I do. I remember how we act tough around other people but break down when its just us. I get to be me with you and I hope its the same with you. You're a great friend, I don't deny it. But I'm scared to pick up the phone because I don't want to have an awkward moment. I don't want to lose what we have, well.. had.

glee

Can we have a round of applause for a realistic cast of high school students?

Thank you.

Say HI to Glee, the new television show produced by FOX A.K.A. the television show I can't wait to watch. Glee is about high school students who are basically social outcasts, trying to find their niche. And they do in the Glee Club. Sadly their principal can't wait to scrape it off (seeing as the last director of the club was too busy flirting with the members than doing his actual job). Enter Will, the (CUTE) Spanish teacher, a former Glee Club member. He decides to take over Glee Club and regain their former glory.

Obviously.. there's a tough road ahead.

With a talented cast (Lea Michele from Spring Awakening and Matthew Morrison from Hairspray) Glee is undoubtedly the most realistic portrayal of high school student on television. I am glad to see that the students are regular people (unlike the perfectly beautiful people on other shows *cough* Gossip Girl * cough* 90210* cough* AND don't walk around dropping brand names. Thank God someone sees sense in putting NORMAL people in NORMAL situations that the world can relate to.

I am gleeful to see stereotypes broken and honesty in fictional characters. Compared to Blair Waldorf or Naomi Clark, I can relate to these characters (and I'm not even American). Its nice to see characters that are searching for who they are because they don't fall into typical categories ie: jocks, cheerleaders, etc. I am happy to see a shows where the wheelchair ridden kid, Arty find somewhere to shine without watching a Hallmark production. (No offense to Hallmark, I love Hallmark). Its a different warmth you get watching Glee compared to the desperate need to buy hairbands after watching Gossip Girl.

I did not really enjoy watching High School Musical so me saying that Glee is great is a good thing. We don't really have Gabriella Montez's or Troy Bolton's in this show. HSM was directed at preteens. Here, we have Rachel Berry, a girl who wants to be welcomed by her peers and to be special, and Finn, a jock who wants to be play his sport while enduring his friends teasing because he enjoys singing. High School Musical- cheesyness+ real life+ angst - unrealistic plans to save the day= Glee.

Alright, alright.. there is an essence of a cliche since Rachel is going to fall for Finn (who's dating a cheerleader, Quinn. by the way, Quinn is the head of the Chastity club (you didn't see that coming right?)) but what is life without the little cliches? I think this show is going to be inspiration to teenagers and even teachers who have lost the love for what they do. Why? It's honest. It is not extravagant or pure-fairytale.

It's real.

So what's my verdict? WATCH IT. and tell me what you think. :)

life worth living

Life is nothing without having that fire to do what you want.
Life is nothing without the passion of reaching and achieving those goals that you long for inside.
I know people who live life without that passion.
I know people who just go day to day without love for what they do.
I don't want that for myself or for anyone else.
how can you live without that spark?
how can you breathe when you regret the very breath you take?
Life without that 'amour' for life?
I never want that.

I don't care how hard it is, I'm determined to do what I love for a living.

and I think you should be too.

haha thanks Steph

I stole this from Steph's blog. Its HYSTERICAL. Its the version of Bonnie Tyler's classic based on the video. PLEASE WATCH. :D

please forgive me

To everyone:

I apologise that I'm not the best friend you need. I'm sorry that I'm not the best daughter. I'm sorry I mess up a lot. I'm sorry that I apologise a lot to no avail. I'm sorry I judge before you are doing explaining. I'm sorry I sit on my high horse and claim to be moral axis of the world. I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for not being who YOU needed at the time.

But I hope this time you can forgive me and let me be there for you when you need me from now on.

I'm sorry.
