video call, school very boring, heart-broken

HAPPY SWEET 16TH BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE FOO SHI LING! hahah I'm very nice right.

p.s. if you (Steph) read this: sorry I didn't give you any present YET, I didn't know what to give anyway. hahas! and you never give me present also ok. I'm considering buying you some Indonesian shirt which I gave Celine last time, but it means that you'll only get it next year. hahaha. Or you want mine? I have 2 :D

----------------
(by the way there are 16 hyphens :p)

Hmmm. School has been... just as usual... boring. Sitting in front sucked. Can't do anything apart from listening to the teachers obediently and do the assignments given also obediently. Sighs.

But now I have been moved to the 3rd row, sitting in the middle with Hui Min on my left and Jing Yun on the right. Hello new partners! :D

Come to think of it, they're my 2nd (and also 3rd) partners in these 1.5 years studying in IJ. Hahaha, Steph, it's kinda lonely now without you disturbing me all the time and asking for food everyday. Plus the baseball games. Your singing in class. OMG I'M BEING SENTIMENTAL.

I just tried video call, quite fun, but the internet veryyyy sloooww. Captured some photos but not very nice :(

Hmm what else? Hating the teacher. THE teacher. You know. He's very demanding and quite unreasonable sometimes, like, saying that he won't put us together again (just sit in separate tables) but now what? We sit 3 people together. Right mister.

And a lot of other irritating things. Too irritated to write out.

AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM OFFICIALLY HEART-BROKEN. The love of my life, my boyfriend (he still is), has got a girlfriend. Who is not me. And a GIRLfriend. Why don't you just be gay, for goodness' sake, Dougie dear, what about ME?????????

Yeah whatever. I wanna sleep now. Sobs.

h1n1, school, RIP Michael Jackson

Helllo. I'm back to school now. Giant sigh.

Right. So. Urm.

Let us begin with the beloved H1N1. It is still a big issue here in Singapura, the stupid country which thinks that they could still stop the spread of the flu by quarantining people who just came back to countries which are considered "danger zones", like the US, UK, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, and so on. What a lot of smart people (like me) would say, is that why don't they check the people in Changi airport? Well, yes, the virus need like a week to show symptom and to actually be active, but still. I think it's very foolish to quarantine people, especially in this hostel, where they can go around very easily and without proper watching and all? I mean, one of the hostelites went to Thailand and she was quarantined on the 4th floor, and no one was to interact with her. What did she do? Went to a walk up and down the slope out there, studied in the common study room, and went around the hostel as if nothing happens. Right. So much for cautionary quarantine.

And then, some schools in SG have been closed or extended the holidays because a lot of the students from that school have been infected with the virus. (Un)Fortunately, CHIJ Secondary Toa Payoh does not. Instead, to prevent the spread, they cancelled the assembly, the cross-country event which is actually the sports day (I just knew it today), meaning we bought the house t-shirts to not be worn on any events at school, and also they cancelled the Youth Day mass, or you can say all the meetings and gatherings. Right. And they did not close the canteen, where people gather to eat and a lot of other people would be sitting on the chairs and the tables which have been used by other people, and don't you think that will be a grreat place for the virus to go around and find other victims?

Singapore is a very weird country.

Hmm, and then I can say that I have begun to be a little more diligent and hard-working than before, which is good, cos I know that I've been slacking during the first half of the year and now I am very very afraid that I won't do well in the O's. Cereally. So I'm trying to revise everyday, at least for an hour or so. Let's hope I can hold on to this.

Then, I am really really missing my fam now, which is quite a big problem.

Yeah, so that's it I think. Oh and I am really loving twitter at the moment, I am updating very often there cos it's like, I've got nothing to do, and it's really fun to stalk other people and get updated with stuff like the news and health tips and discount infos. hahas.

Oh and lastly, Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson, your Heal The World is now one of my super favourite song which got me crying on the day you passed away. You are a great man, and the title really suits you. I also want to live in Neverland, I am sure everyone do, and thank you so so much to try to make this world a better place for us to live in. All the best for you, wherever you are now, I am sure you are happy and free, and know that a LOT of people are missing you here. GOD bless. AMEN.

h1n1. twitter. bosan dan banyak lainnya. DENGAN BAHASA INDONESIA

sudah lama tidak mengupdate. ini semua dikeranakan malas. aduh malas pakai bahasa inggris, jadi menggunakan bahasa indonesia saja ya.

di sini sedang heboh h1n1. si flu babi itu. banyak yang baru kembali dari luar negeri. ada yang baru kembali dari jepang, sebagai contoh, salah satu negara dari banyak negara yang terdaftar sebagai negara yang sudah terinfeksi dengan virus h1n1. lalu orang-orang tersebut pun dikarantina, tidak diperbolehkan keluar dari kamar atau berinteraksi dengan orang-orang lain.

sekarang indonesia telah termasuk ke dalam negara-negara tersebut. padahal baru ada 2 kasus orang yang telah positif terinfeksi dengan virusnya. singapura sudah melaporkan ada 220 kasus. bagaimana pendapat anda tentang hal ini?

sekolah-sekolah di singapura banyak yang memutuskan untuk memperpanjang liburan bulan juni ini selama seminggu, untuk mencegah penyebaran virus lebih lanjut. namun, sekolah saya, sekolah menengah chij toa payoh, tidak memperlakukannya. mereka hanya mengatakan bahawa apabila anda baru pulang dari bepergian setelah atau pada tanggal 22 juni 2009, barulah anda tidak diperkenankan masuk ke sekolah. saya kembali ke singapura pada tanggal 13 juni 2009. menyebalkan sekali, bukan? jadi saya harus masuk sekolah, deh.

hmm. khabar lainnya adalah saya jadi senang sekali bermain twitter. seru sekali, lho. saya menggunakan aplikasi tweetdeck, yang mempermudah mengupdate dan juga menerima update dari teman-teman yang anda ikuti. saya jadi mengupdate setiap lima menit sekali atau bahkan lebih, sehingga saya merasa saya seperti orang yang tidak punya kerjaan. memang sih saya tidak punya kerjaan. saya malas sekali mengerjakan pe er. bosan tahu mengerjakan pe er.

hmm. lalu saya juga menjadi suka sekali menonton nigahiga di pipakamu. dia lucu sekali lho. video-video paporit saya ialah mengapa chris cokelat menghajar rihanna, si pura-puraWUHU, anak-anakBop, dan masih banyak yang lainnya. ayo nonton ya, lalu beritahu saya bagaimana menurut kamu.

aduh saya merasa tidak penting sekali nih, menulis dengan bahasa indonesia yang baik dan benar seperti ini. tapi menyenangkan juga. oleh itu saya akan melanjutkannya terus.

hal lain yang ada dalam fikiran saya pada masa ini ialah pesanan disk kompak McFly saya yang berjudul Radio:ACTIVE. pada tanggal 16 juni 2009 saya memesan disk kompak tersebut di ebay.com, seharga GBP9.5. cukup murah, bukan? saya akan mendapatkan dvd (guwa kaga tahu bahasa indonesianya apa), disk kompak berisi lagu-lagunya, dan juga sebuah buku. aduh saya berharap isi bukunya adalah poto-poto tampan daripada anggota McFly. kerana saya sedang jatuh cinta dengan kakak Dougie Poynter, yang tampan sekali ituh. oh iya, kelmarin disk kompak Motion In The Ocean (saya tidak mengubah judul albumnya kerana saya menyukai McFly dan apabila saya ubah itu bererti saya tidak sopan. lain halnya dengan chris cokelat kerana saya tidak terlalu suka dia). saya senang sekali, sampai-sampai saya melompat-lompat dan dilihati oleh orang-orang yang ada di dalam ruangan makan.

aduh, apa lagi ya. ah iya. akhir-akhir ini saya merasa sulit tidur. menyebalkan sekali. saya tidak boleh tidur apabila suasananya terang atau berisik. oleh itu saya mengenakan penutup mata dan penyumpal telinga saat tidur.

jijay sekali ya post saya kali ini. peduli amat ah. sampai bertemu di lain masa. emuah.

nineteen minutes. the world isn't meant to be fair.

I am currently reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I was tempted to read the book because of its opening paragraphs:

"In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five.
Nineteen minutes is how long it took the Tennessee Titans to sell out of tickets to the play-offs. It's the length of a sitcom, minus the commercials. It's the driving distance from the Vermont border to the town of Sterling, New Hampshire.
In nineteen minutes, you can order a pizza and get it delivered. You can read a story to a child or have your oil changed. You can walk a mile. You can sew a hem.
In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it.
In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge."

And then the story goes.

Basically, it's a story about a boy named Peter who is bullied, who takes a revenge by committing a massacre in his school, killing those people who were mean to him. And then, because he committed a hideous crime like that, he is being jailed, I think for life. I haven't finished reading everything (I took a peek to the last part. Shh.).

The troubling issue that I just thought about and decided to jot it down here is:
The boy killed the people who picked on him in the past. But he is the one being punished. They were the one who started it, were they not?

It's like, those people did something bad to him, so he does something bad to them in return. But what he did was murder, whereas what those people did to him was maybe, making fun of him, sneering and jeering at him all the time. You can call it making life hell for him.

Why is a murder worse than those things?

A lot of people who are abused, being beaten up everyday, enslaved, or suffering from an excruciatingly painful terminal illness may say that death is more appealing than living in this world with these burden being put on their shoulders. Death is peaceful, it is even easier to die than to fall asleep (a saying from Remus Lupin or Sirius Black from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I forgot who said it, and the exact words).

Why were the people who made life hell for Peter never get punished? Whereas Peter, who did what he thought he needed to do to stop the torment, get to be punished? The suffering Peter experienced during his life continued without anybody preventing it from happening to him. Even his mother can be considered as doing the wrong thing to make him able to stand up for himself (by threatening to punish him if he didn't fight back). What he wanted was that the torture stop, so he can live in peace and happiness.

I thought. It is not fair. Peter suffered for don't know how many years, and now he get to be jailed for life because he stopped the bullying towards himself, forget about how he did it.

What is wrong, I think, is how people ignore the suffering other people may be experiencing. What comes out in the headline is when the tormented person does something in order to protect himself, sometimes to extreme measures, eg. what Peter did. The things they do to him are never acknowledged, right? They just let it go without offering a helping hand to the bullied, instead sometimes some people helped tormenting him.

If only someone helped Peter get out of the bullying, they all can live happily ever after. Everyone can.

Help those female suicide bombers in Pakistan, please, someone. Before they become martyrs.

the earthquake model is finished. stupid dreams. tmr is chem spa (O lvl)

I have been dreaming. About things that I might want, at the same time I do not want. The thing I deny. It is wrong. But I want to see those dreams. Because I know it will not happen in real life. I want it to happen in real life. But it is nearly impossible. Maybe it is possible. But if I try, I am scared that everything will fall apart. I feel very bad. But this is what I want. AND THE SONG I AM LISTENING TO NOW IS NOT HELPING AT ALL. Bipolar - Bowling for Soup.

I think I'll screw physics. AAARGH it was hard, yes it is the standard of the usual secondary 4 mid year paper, but dammit, a lot of the questions are not very clear when you think in a complicated way. I dunno. I hope I can still get an A, so that I can use it for DSA. I can just hope.

On the bright side, WE'VE FINISHED OUR NATIONAL EARTHQUAKE CHALLENGE MODEL!!! Hahah. Want to see our building?



our proud building :D





















with Mr Rashid, a D&T teacher in school






















Joey Hwang helped us with the tying of the strings
Thanks a lot! :D




















Woohoo. So today we went to Singapore Polytechnic again to submit the model. Ours was the 2nd model to be submitted. The first one, which I saw, I dunno it was from which school, it was very very simple. No nothing. It was just square-shaped, with cross-bracings on the 2 sides. I am rather certain that we will somehow win, but yeah. Aim high, but not too high.

Now I'm supposed to study for chemistry SPA for tomorrow. It is the actual O level but I am very very lazy to study. No one is in the mood for studying now anyway.

Okay I'll try to revise... Wish me luck.

after emath and chem midyear paper. phew.

The e.math paper was okay, I finished but I didn't have time to check. I was doing it rather leisurely, I didn't rush at first. But then near the end I was like, "what, so fast?!" then started rushing a bit. hahahah. A bit confused at the matrix question but was ok.

Then after e.math was break. The e.math paper started 1 hour later than scheduled, cos we had temperature taking exercise because of the stupid swine flu, and we're now having it every day, twice. Goodness.

So in the schedule we're supposed to have
e.math 0800-1030
chem 1400-1530

But, because of the temperature taking thing, it's moved 1 hour later. We thought the chem paper will stay at 1400, but then we were wrong. It started at 1500 and finished at 1630. what the hell. They think we have a lot of time to study lit.

And the chem paper was a bit confusing, but I found it do-able, even though I dunno the answer for some questions for certain. But whatever. I hope I'll get 75. :)

And I wasn't angry. I dunno why. Ok maybe I know why but it's irritating. My plan didn't go as planned. Hmph.

Ok, gonna go down to have dinner.....

"too bad"

we are threatened to not be able to go home during the June holidays.

I've bought the air ticket and there's no way I'm gonna be quiet if we're not allowed to go out of Singapore in June later. all because of the stupid swine flu. Not only that I've paid for the ticket, which was S$65 (ok maybe this is not very expensive, but still, this is money), but it's just that I just realized that I miss them.

Really, really miss them. :'(

So I really, really wanna go home later. Cos it's the last time I can go home before the big O's. I want to relax, with them, for the last time before the big thing.

AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS FEELING.

Well, yes, cos you have your family here and not being able to go out of Singapore in June doesn't affect you at all. BUT I DON'T HAVE MY FAMILY HERE AND I WANT TO MEET THEM. NOT ONLY FROM THE STUPID WEBCAM THROUGH THE LOUSY INTERNET CONNECTION M1 PROVIDED HERE.

I wanna go gome. please, please, please let me go.

great weekend.

last friday my mom came to singapore to check on me. she got here at around 12 maybe?, then at 2 she went to my school and then we went to toa payoh to eat & also buy some things. then we went to the apartment (tan tong meng apartment), rest for a while, then go back to the hostel to put some things, take a bath, then go again to school, to have the parents' night.

parents' night: a repetition on 2008 O lvl results, points needed to go to JCs, and a lot of other stuff we already know. which moms don't seem to be interested in. I ended up borrowing a pencil and play games with my mom. :) and also sms-ing during the talk with Steph, who sat just behind me. hahah

then after that we were on our way back to the hostel & my mom to the apartment, we waited for taxi at toa payoh. IT WAS SO LONG. it was like an hour or so.

on the next day, at around 10 I walked to the apartment. then we went to vivo to eat & shop. I got a new jacket from esprit. :) my mom bought 3 shirts from clubmarc and 1 sleeveless from marks & spencer. the sleeveless was S$110 but because she was a tourist she can redeem or something like that, so we got a S$20 voucher which we used to buy a bodylotion (for my mom) & deodorant (for me). and I just knew that if I bring my passport to vivo I can get a lot of discounts from many shops. we just need to get the tourist pass from the customer service & there you go. discounts everywhere. woohoo.

after that we went to church in the cathedral (we arrived late; we came when the priest is giving homily), then later we had dinner in bugis, crystal jade xiao long bao. thus on that day I had xiao long bao twice. which is so nice. :)

on saturday night I stayed out with my mom at the apartment, then that night when we were sleeping I did the thing which I do everytime I'm going to part with her. :'(

on the next morning, I woke up at 9.30. hahahha so nice to at last wake up late in singapore. then we went to novena to have lunch, then rush back to the hostel to prepare for hostel performance.

at 1 we had the performance. I was a total bimbo, and was so disgusting (I was holding a lollipop mirror, & I attached a pink paper-flower to the badge. I also wore a hairband with pink things stuck to it. eww). hahahhaha. then after the performance I accompanied my mom to get the taxi, then she went by herself to the airport. on the way up to the hostel I did the thing again. :'( but only a little. hehe.

then for dinner we had pasta, with 2 sauces, cream & bolognaise. then we had ice cream. :D and took a lot of photos. I don't think I'll post it on facebook.

then I just knew today that tomorrow I'll have a chem test on electrolysis. I didn't knew that we're having it, so I left the textbook at school. and dammit, I just don't understand electrolysis. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
