i'm back. arrived in a blaze of glory.

this morning i was early for school.

which is unusual.

i'm not an early kind of person.

xin yun forgot to bring her physics workbook (oops!) but Mr Eng didn't use it anyway.

CHEM SPA: i'm supposed to draw the solution up straight from the bottle itself but i transferred it to the beaker. and mrs teo had to remind me.

RECESS:

WHAT???

only 2 stalls open, ARE THEY MAD??

the queues were super long and in the end, i skipped recess, looking mournfully at other people's plates.

zhan hao had a hard time slicing the chicken.

"it's so hard, i can use this to break a glass window!"

ew. rubbery food or something?

"what do you expect? it's canteen food!" tuck weng said.

ok, maybe i shouldn't regret not eating anything.

during physics, pc and grace keep critising _________

lol!

NO CHINESE LESSON, WHOO HOO!!

i was so happy when ps told me!

me: "really? are you serious?? YESSSS!!!!"

cuth: "but you see the timetable! tomorrow got chinese."

i mean, really, cuth knows how to dampen my spirits T.T

after school, went bubble tea with pc, grace and ps.

i tried to stuff 4 chopsticks into the thick bubble tea straw.

pc: "i bet you can't."

me: "i can."

pc: "wanna bet? 2 dollars!"

i couldn't. it was very hard. grace helped me and....

SUCCESS!

so, conclusion: 4 chopsticks can be stuffed into a bubble tea straw!

hm, how about 5 chopsticks? xD

25 OCT:

i cut my hair.

the hairdresser started to trim here and there. and i admit, i was quite nervous at the turnout. i'm scared i'd look awful.

but miracles happen. my new 'do was very nice. layered. but i am NOT used to short hair.

it feels...light.

went jogging too!

26 OCT:

church retreat! :D

i teased jacqueline mercilessly. muHAHAHA.

i teased about her and bryan, how they two would make a cute couple.

of course, jacq denied it (laughing while she did so)

me: "hey jacq! let's sit there!"

*points at a distance*

jacq: "why?"

me: "bryan's there." *smiles evilly*

.
.
.
.
.
.
at lunch,

me: "hey do you wanna sit with... bryan...?"

jacq: "NO!!!"

while getting a drink,

mariel: "why are we standing here near the drinks?"

me: "because in case bryan wants a drink and comes here, jacq will see him."

in the freezing cold chapel,

me: "jacq, can i borrow your jacket? i'm cold..."

jacq: "but i'm cold also..."

me: "you can sit beside bryan and share body heat."

denise laughs.

i know. i know. but it's fun to tease. jacq seems alright about it.

and because of that, me, mariel, denise and jacq started talking about...

you guessed it. boys.

denise: "guys with biceps are HOOOTT."

me: "yep. agreed!"

denise: "the thing i notice first is his hair..."

me: "all of him...face, arms..."

mariel: "his eyes."

denise: "huh? why eyes?"

mariel: "OH OH. smile also!"

me: "YESSS."

and the ball kept rolling. haha!

mariel: "how do you know? that you really like someone?"

me: "when he's not around you, you feel empty- and there's a missing piece. and when he's with you, you are so overwhelmed, you can't breathe. you can't think straight. you lose your senses. you-...."

mariel *gasps*: "pauline!! are you...in love?"

haha! lol.

anyway, we shared all sorts of stories about the guys we like(d).

denise's ex-crush wrote her notes and the two of them passed them around.

i mean, whoa. that's sweet.

there's plenty of sharing. and right now, i can't remember all.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

during prayer, i was so spiritually overwhelmed, i started to cry. quietly.

at the closure, they played "One Way".

i screamed. "yay yay yay yay yay!!"

and jumped up and down, smiling like crazy. i love that song! praises to God! :)

============================================================
27 OCT:

2nd day of retreat.

jacq didn't come.

i begged her to. but she still didn't.

church got lonely without her.

denise and mariel came a bit late.

praise and worship, talks etc.

there's also the healing prayer part.

you know, you stand with an adult, ask for any prayer or blessing, and they'll pray for you.

and, if the Holy Spirit is healing you, you'd be so empowered, that you'll fall- and someone behind will catch you.

so i had to wait my turn. while waiting, i saw Naville. he closed his eyes while being prayed over and then he swayed- and fell! like he was in a trance.

someone caught him, and they let him lie on the altar. i couldn't see.

God's power was working among everyone in the chapel.... and i cried like mad. non-stop. i cried rivers, no, oceans.

it was my turn and i made a prayer request. while ella and another woman prayed for me, i burst out crying again.

"it's ok. it's going to be ok. you are healing."

and they gave me a big hug.

james was so frightened (maybe because i was weeping so hard) "are you ok?"

i stood up for another praying over, and i fell, i felt someone catch me...

next thing i knew, i was lying on the altar stairs, feeling light, peaceful.

i was on a cloud. "Get up, my Child. I have taken away your burdens...you're free now..."
God was talking to me. i'm free.

i got up after a while, tears still streaming down my face. denise and mariel were crying hard too. i hugged them both. most of the students were crying.

martina brought plenty of tissues for everyone.

paul said he fell too!!

after that, for some reason, james hung around with us for a while (because of mariel! ;D i think)

heehee. me and denise teased her- haha.

james: "so...where are you heading now?"

me: "er..."

denise: "to the mall!"

mariel: "to eat ice cream. heehee."

i swear i thought i saw james smile :)

anyway, me and denise window shopped.

i still can't find the perfect white dress- crud.

=============================================================

i watched 10 000 BC.

for D'lah to cross almost the ends of the earth, to rescue Evolet, the woman he loves, it's...amazing. wow.

i thought Evolet died in the end! i tried not to cry. but failed. but because of a prophecy, she became alive again.

lol.

=============================================================

28 OCT:

happy birthday moses! :)

went back to school.

everyone noticed my now-short hair.

lots of responses: you look prettier with shorter hair!

really? :)

bio lesson was funny. pin cheng was forced to wear sunglasses with one green eye and one purple eye- he looked like a monster, HAHA!!

after school, went to kfc with pei shan :)

talked about boys. (again? for 3 days straight already! haha!)

tutored my bro chinese for 2 hours.

sigh. i'm really tired right now.

=============================================================

xu tuo called me yesterday.

"where are you? do you know there's CCA?"

me: "yes...but i have...cramps...and i need to go to the doctor for a check up...i'm on the bus going home..."

xu tuo: "HAH?? the rest leh?"

me: "i dunno, they left..."

xu tuo: "before or after you?"

me: "before. i think they've all gone home now..."

xu tuo *sighs*: "nevermind. send them an sms that there's CCA."

me: "but they've all gone!"

xu tuo: "just do it."

truth is, i was out drinking bubble tea with grace.

BUT. i'm not lying. my mum really said that i needed to go for a doctor checkup. so technically, it's not the truth, but it's not a lie either.

me and grace talked about shopping, sleepovers, makeovers. you know, girl stuff.

and i badly want to go shopping again. i love shopping. i fell back in love with it all over again. and i need new clothes! :)

after that, we walked back to the school bus stop and to my horror, i saw xu tuo walking in our direction, head down.

"shit!!" i hissed, i tried to grab grace, to hide, to run away, to get away from xu tuo, far far away but on instinct, xu tuo's head snapped back up, he saw me, and he grinned evilly at me.

caught in the act of lying.

xu tuo: "so....i thought you said you went home to see the doctor?"

he gave me a haha-i-caught-you-now-you-are-so-dead kind of look.

me: "i went back to school." i said lamely.

xu tuo: "really? why?"

me: "because....because...."

i wanted to say to clear my locker but i blurted out...

me: "because i miss you. i wanna see you. i miss you so much, it hurts!"

i batted my eyelashes innocently and smiled sweetly at him.

once upon a time, xu tuo would be happy if i actually flirted with him *mimes vomitting* but yesterday, he wasn't.

xu tuo *rolles eyes* :"don't lie, pauline."

HEY! i am trying to wriggle my way out of my lie, but failed. miserably.

i always get away with things. that's because i'm such an accomplished actress. i'm so good. until today i got caught.

that's one of the rare times, people. i need to work harder on my acting skills.

xu tuo let me off the hook and grace kept laughing, saying i was jinxed.

maybe i am.

==================================================

22 OCT:

me, kx and wy analysed the lit poem. "The Sick Rose" by william blake, if i'm not wrong. i forgot.

HO! what do you know? it's really horny. about sex.

i initially thought it was about death taking after sickness, but ms rajah intepreted the first few verses.

i didn't know that! whoa.

i want to type the poem out to let you readers see it for yourself (no, i'm not horny) but i don't have it with me.

me: so...what does 'storm' mean?

kx: maybe...action!

i asked ms rajah.

and we were right!! :O

me: ok so the storm would mean...passionate love making....

wy: yes, the sex...

kx laughed.

me: is it me or is lit really interesting?

kx: you're not the only one...

wy: haha. while geog students are learning about...trees...

me: boring...

wy: ours is interesting!

me: yeah! intepreting something which is not what it seems...

that's why i like lit. you have to read between the lines. guess the hidden meaning. like...finding clues for treasure hunting.

i don't want facts like geog...

me: ok "the invisible worm flies into the night" i think that would mean that the man cannot control his sexual desires, he does it immediately? with the woman?

wy: swift, fast movements.

kx laughed.

kx: crimson joy?

me: definitely virgin blood...

wy: the joy?

me: the joy from the man being the first to intrude the woman's body...since she is a virgin

wy: she was untouched, yes.

kx: and "thus thy life destroys"?

me: he takes her innocence. destroys...

wy *finishes*: takes away her virginity.

me: yep.

WE ARE NOT HORNY. but that lesson was interesting. because when i first read it, i thought it wasn't about sex, ok. nothing i expected. (see wen ya's blog)

i let cuth, pc and grace read it. grace got it right the first time.

grace: let me guess. it's about sex?

how did she know? i didn't even know the first time!!

====================================================

23 OCT:

i am not 61 kg. neither am i 165cm.

the slip had typo error. i told mr yong.

mr yong: "HAH?? pauline! wow! 61 kg! you so fat!"

really. coming from my form teacher...

me: "no no no. i am 50kg. this is obviously very wrong. you have to correct it."

mr yong: "this slip is for your future. in a few years time, you will be 61 kg!!"

he is obviously enjoying it. teasing me. he was laughing!

everyone was. i laughed too.

silly error. i mean, it's not embarrassing, or anything.

and, for the record, i will not become 61 kg!

currently, i am exercising to tone up my body for the holidays.

you know, have a great body for great clothes and you'll feel great.

if you're healthy, you're happy. simple.

i watched Iron Man with my sis last night.

i totally understand why joseph likes it so much.

IRON MAN ROCKS!!! despite my girlfriends telling me that it sucks, no! it does not.

reasons why i love Iron Man

1. explosions. weapons. 'nuff said.

2. Tony Stark's blunt, charming remarks. (he just says a few words and he managed to get the Vanity Fair reporter in his bed, like whoa.)

3. basement laboratory.

4. the funny robot which always extinguishes when there is no fire.

5. the fact that super science geniuses are cool and rich just like hollywood celebs. like, Tony Stark goes to gala events too. in a limo.

6. Tony Stark is smart as well as smoking hot. i mean, his biceps are so...

7. the trial and error in building Iron Man. his 10% thrust let him fly and he hit the wall. on his head, OUCH!

8. the fact that Pepper and Tony love each other.

Tony: "you know, every superhero has a girlfriend who knows their secret identites. and she always worries about his safety, but, at the same time, she is proud for him for being who he is...which makes her more crazy for him" Tony tells Pepper.
something like that.

i want a superhero boyfriend too! haha.

my sis's party-dinner-night-out at Swensens.

sadly, i'm not a huge fan of the restaurant. probably only for the ice cream.

i ordered salmon. "i suppose....it's nice," i said grudgingly after i tried a few bites.

ok, look, fine. it was very nice. delicious. i didn't want to give in to the satisfaction that it was right to pick Swensens for dinner.

since it's my sis's birthday, the staff went up to her with free firehouse ice cream and a balloon and they sang a birthday song.

my sis felt humiliated.

"i'm NEVER going out to Swensens EVER AGAIN!!!" she hissed.

my father said it was nonsense, all she had to do was stand up for less than a minute to hear a birthday song sung and she'd get a free ice cream. "i don't know what's wrong with that. you are overreacting."

"grown ups don't understand the younger generation!!" she was exasperated.

i take no sides. both my parents and sis were right to a certain extent.

yep. definitely teenager phase. i mean, i've been through it too.

i'm totally mature now. *coughs*

i so am. *coughs harder*

===============================================================

21 OCT:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIN YUN AND BELATED FOR KE XIN! :D

we went to a new classroom and i sat beside grace :)

lessons per normal.

the physics SPA trial after school was so....oh faggard.

i didn't know what the heck was going on. i read the instructions and i went, WHAT??

i looked around, apparently everyone knew what to do, except me.

crud crud crud crud crud.

it took a while for my brain to process the gist of the experiment- and i rushed through everything.

if it was the real O level SPA, i'm so dead. dead meat. dead as in body in the grave, decomposing with maggots.

after that, everyone said it was hard, so that meant everyone didn't get it like me.

haha.

ps. guan zhong said the reason why both of us didn't win the model pupil award (unlike ghee kian and khoon hwa who, not sursprisingly, did win it) was simply because we were too good to clinch the prize.

this is about the only thing that me and gz can agree on.

i CANNOT believe my chinese beat my english. at all. no. i am dreaming.

and chinese listening compre i wasn't listening (at all...maybe to some extent) i was daydreaming, i scored the highest mark: 7/10

this girl showed you she can beat you in a small aspect in chinese.

and i misread the gong han. but i still passed!!

===============================================================
17 OCT:

it was zhan hao's birthday and i gave him a present.

and we had school clean-up. me and grace were drawing on the whiteboard.

i mean, we already finished sweeping, you know. we didn't slack.

ok, maybe a bit. but still...

i could tell daniel was impatient. he kept telling me to mop up the walls or something. sorry!!

after school, CCA meeting. we went to the playroom and i immediately fell on the couch and slept. i could hear mr tan come in and say "so there's the 3 of you..."

and then pei shan said, "no. there's 4. pauline's sleeping on the couch."

mr tan, "oh i didn't see. so well camouflaged!"

he was talking about open house. yep i could hear the important discussion at the same time i slept in the couch. amazing.

time to leave, so i got up and mr tan said (a little sharply): "what have you done to your eyes??"

i rubbed my eyes consciously. are they red with puffiness?

mr tan: "did you go to korea for plastic surgery?"

me: "um...no..."

mr tan: "did you put something on your eye?"

me: "you mean eyeliner? no..."

mr tan: "cause your eyes are naturally dark around the edges. long eyelashes. so exquisite."

at least, that's what i think he said. i was half-asleep, standing.

yea. su fen too asked whether i applied eyeliner and i said, no.

i went home and observed my siblings eyelashes. both long, like mine. and dark at the edges.

which is really cool. long eyelashes run in our family then.

==============================================================
18 OCT:

do NOT drink bubble tea while riding in the bus.

it makes you feel bloated and sleepy.

chris and i tried that.

we were supposed to go hai sing by train but then she said by bus and we bought bubble tea.

we drank inside. and we were late. for my church youth rally.

quite fun, actually :)

i made new friends, including genevieve.

she aspires to be a writer someday and when i told her i'm pretty good in writing fiction stories, she jumped on me and said, "let's do a co-.....co.....co...."

me: "collaboration?"

genevieve: "YEAH!! let's!!"

yeah, in case you readers out there don't know, i write stories. but i never got to finish any one of them, which is quite sad, really. a shame.

at least, when i write songs, i complete them.

SHARING SESSIONS.

there was one question: "do you get along well with your siblings?"

everyone in my group raised their hands except jerome.

then marcus and i laughed.

because, well, james and jerome are twin brothers my age and they constantly fight with each other. everytime there's cathechism class, arguments break out.

which is a lot fussy and annoying.

luke said if it gets serious, both of them would kill each other and the murder would appear on the newspapers.

luke: "and when you see the front page, 'brothers kill one another', you'll say, hey! those two are my classmates!"

that's why marcus and i laughed.

i get along pretty well with my sister.

my brother hates it when i rain kisses all over his cute pinchable face. he pushes me away and growls. haha.

then another question: "do you acknowledge the cleaners in hawker centres?"

chris and i said yes, we say thank you. marcus said, "ya. i acknowlegde them by calling them to clean the dirty tables!"

T.T

praise and worship! all of us were singing 'amazing grace"

then we ate dinner and roamed around hai sing school.

then we took the bus to toa payoh sports hall.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

FREAKING COOL. i love rock bands. whether christian songs or not. still COOL.

youth rally was awesome. i'm so glad i went!!!!!!!

there's praise and worship, then there's a talk by the bishop himself, there's a hilarious drama skit...

and this brave guy came up to share his experience in a gang and how he turned over a new leaf.

before that,

guy emcee: and brandon will share us his story...

girl emcee (shireen): OH OH OH!! is he CUTE????!!!

guy emcee: shireen! are you a shallow creature?

anyway, brandon came up. and i heard the girls behind me squeal. ohmigod he IS CUTE!! hot....quite handsome...see that?.....wow...

geez. it's just a guy.

ok, i looked at the screen and i admit he's good looking. but not really.

i mean, you don't see my swoon, right?

this is one of the few times i don't go mad seeing a good looking guy. wow. record.

a filipino bishop was there. he is SO FUNNY!!! mariel and i were laughing like mad.

he was talking about how previously in the past, when children in the philippines were born, they were named after the saint's feast day.

bishop: "but now, there are all sorts of funny names. like, hi, sweet-apple... hi,......hi.... even hi mcdo!"

in case you don't get the joke, mcdo is mcdonalds in short (in the philippines).

WAHHAHAHAHA. some people in the world out there are called Mcdonalds??? their parents must be.....nuts.

mariel: 'haha!! hi, jolibee!!'

me: "hi chow king!"

chow king and jolibee are filipino fast food restaurants. HAHAHA!! i laughed till i cried and my stomach hurt.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

i was rocking with the music. as in, jumping up and down, pumping my fists, shaking my thang, singing, screaming and sweating.

it's been a long while since i danced crazy with music. since...the ASEAN prom? i miss that.

i should dance more, since i am like, danced-deprived.
.
.
.
.

denise couldn't find jacq. "do you think she's lost?"

i highly doubt so. jacq wouldn't possibly take so long in the toilet. can she?

a forbidden thought crossed me. did she sneak off with a guy?

i laughed. can't be. not sweet, innocent, non-boy-crazy jacq.

ok i was right. after the next song, i spotted her with brian and david.

ok fine. i have creepy psychic thoughts.

i called to her, "jacq! have fun..." and gave her my trademark evil grin.

caught in the act. but no, she wasn't making out. just hanging out. talking and laughing. but she ditched denise! we all went frantic looking for her!

haha. must be fun to sneak off with a guy, i never tried that.
.
.
.
.
.

.

the band didn't play "One Way" so sad!! me, denise, mariel were looking forward to the song!!

anyway, went home at 11pm. i was so tired.

===============================================================
19 OCT:

went to suntec with my family.

we went to the fountain of wealth to make wishes!!

the instructions said, "go around the fountain 3 times" but as usual, my brother did not pay heed and ran around the fountain, 5 times.

hah. i don't think his wishes would come true anyway, since he defied the rules.

i told my sis i wished for world peace. she said i was crazy and that i should stop trying to be Miss Universe.

which is so not. what do you want me to wish for? money money money? i don't want to be dependant on material things. that's wrong.

but i do need a new wardrobe makeover...

i need a white dress. seriously. as in need it. for confirmation.

i WILL NOT wear my mum's white dress. it looks like a towel robe. ew, no.

i would be caught dead in that.

============================================================== 20 OCT:

my sis's birthday. i gave her her present and she liked it.

well, she should. i picked it. a pair of earrings, a big toy keychain and a nice black hairband.

it costs more than what she spent for me on my birthday present.

she went off to cycle with her friends.

i dunno why you cycle on your birthday...so weird. *wrinkles nose disapprovingly*

haha.

i was at the airport coffee bean helping cuth with his english corrections.

why didn't mr toh post the answer key instead of making everyone guess the correct answer? we can't guarantee it's correct in the first place!

cuth has a PSP.

i gasped. "i must be dreaming....you? PSP!!!??"

cuth: "pinch yourself. you aren't dreaming"

fine i wasn't. it's like imagining khoon hwa going lan!!!! i nearly fainted when i heard. like, whoa, unbelievable.

i was on the bus with cuth, trying not to throw up because i had motion sickness.

lesson learnt: do NOT drink white chocolate dream or any coffee before being dragged into the bus home. i felt sick. very sick.

12 OCT:

went to church.

for the special needs class, the children were making clay guardian angels. aww...

Auntie Audrey asked, "who here thinks they have a guardian angel?"

i was very tempted to raise my hand, but i didn't.

but she continued "whether you know it or not, every person has a guardian angel. but you can't see them. we have two types of guardian angels. real ones in our lives and the ones we can't see sent by God."

it's so awesome. making clay angels, i mean. it's so fun, i feel like a kid again.

knead the white clay and apply paint and knead again. i helped jessie and my hands were stained yellow. hahaha :)

i asked Tania about it and she gave me the location of the shop outlet where she bought the clay. it's not just any clay you know. you mold it into an angel (or whatever shape you want in any colour) and it'll harden in 3 days.

SOOO COOOL. a total DIY. i'm asking lynette to come with me to Novena to buy some and we might go to my house and make!

during cathechism class, i chatted with mariel and jacqueline.

after Mass, my family and i went to Pizza Hut (i had a bad feeling...)

turns out the staff got our order wrong (twice!) and we had to wait for an hour or so?

my parents' temper was running high. me in the meanwhile remained calm and serene.

i was cam-whoring. got pictures!! :D

but the pizza hut staff were nice. they gave us compensation (free flow of coke and chicken wings. but secretly, my mom wanted ice-cream, but oh well.)

also went jogging with my dear parents! who ever knew exercising was fun? :O

13 OCT:

went out with boy 8 :)

14 OCT:

no exam scripts. but we drew anti-drug posters, did online surveys and had an assembly.

went bubble tea with grace and pei shan.

15 OCT:

my heart was beating so bloody fast. i was hyperventilating. physics reults? i'll do horribly.

turns out OK. *breathes out sigh of relief* got 69 but calculation errors edited to 70.

i scraped through an A. wow. me? physics?

cuth was complaining that i was worrying too much. well, it's a natural hormone body reaction right? i can't control what i feel! if i'm scared, then i'm scared!

chem was shocking!! lots of failures!! what the-...?

the paper was easy, yes, but they marked so strict!! most of the marks taken away.

so outrageous. no A for me. 1 more mark to an A. freak.

pin cheng cheered me up by urging me to sample the cream puff. and yes, it tasted like heaven for a few moments. i fell in love with it.

i screamed (with delight) when i saw my bio paper. an A!! whoo hoo.

i yelled at xin yun, "did i mention i love miss alexis lim? i do i do i do!!"

yep. drama queen moment. a little nutty me.

lots of people queued up to ask teacher to re-check and had a fun time joking with tuck weng and zhan hao.

i laughed till my stomach hurt! :D

BREAK. went down with pin cheng to buy more cream puffs. nil. nada. no more. store closed. we were wailing like hungry kids. HAHAHA!

and due to complicated reasons, somehow i ended up owing Mr Mubarak Starbucks drink.

illegal to possess more than one, although several can be maintained at different locations as long as specimens do not come in directcontact with each other.

haha. but, just to say, i can't blush, no matter how hard i try. you know, genetics.

i wish i could. not tomato red like michelle's but soft pink like shahirah- who is very pretty when she blushes :D

on the down side, blushes betray your emotions. haha.

my mom let me do the honor.

so i gripped the edges of the exam timetable paper pasted on my wall and ripped it apart. and threw it into the dustbin.

I'M FREE!!!!! i have my social life back!!! no more mugging!!! slacking all the way, whoo.

EXAMS ARE OVER! so i'm saying goodbye exams, HELLLOOO freedom.

oh yeah, i was dancing in the shower, you know.

================================================================

well, the week passed so fast. it only seemed like yesterday i was squealing with agony, praying exams would be gone in a blink of an eye.

el compo: i don't feel confident for this.

el paper 2: ok.

ss: bye bye passing mark. bye bye A. i left a question blank !#%&(&^

lit paper: ok

bio paper: darn. i left some questions blank. not enough time...

chem: ok

e maths p2: ok

physics: easier than i expected, thankfully.

a maths: f#!$#%$#^%&.

i wanted to cry with frustration. it's bloody hard. i was restlesss, tired, hungry and my brain was frying.

and that 8 mark question on equation on circle??!!! how to solve??!!!

i had this sudden urge to rip my paper, grab my stationery and walk out of the hall.

but that would cause a scene (good) but i'll probably get scolded (bad) so i forced myself through 2 hour 30 minute of mathwork.

hopefully can pass. at least a B.

e maths p1: easy-peasy.

oh chinese LC was crap. i wasn't listening, OH NO!!i was daydreaming. about what to do with my hair, sleepover with lynette? what ice cream flavour i shall eat... and then....

HUH?? the recording finished?? i didn't hear!!!!

i am so dead. it'll be embarrassing if i failed.

which reminds me, i dreamt i failed physics but had distinctions for the rest. (like that will happen)

things to do after exams!! yay. a LIST.

1. get a totally new hairstyle.

2. SLEEPOVER WITH LYNETTE (I HOPE!!) we shall watch Orlando Bloom movies or any movies with hot guys in it and we will squeal everytime they appear on screen. or we would drool. or both.

3. buy presents!

4. shop for new sports shoe and school bag.

5. wake up every weekend morning to jog with my sis at the park.

6. manicure (only after November first two weeks...)

i was eating peacefully. initially, that is, until something brushed past my leg.

i swiped it away and resumed.

again something brushed.

"wha...?"

my brother came running into the kitchen, shrieking "ARRRGGHH!! flies!!"

he looked like he wanted to cry; i bit back my laughter, because my mom threw me a warning glance.

seriously. just flies. no reason for a boy to cry, much less my brother.

too late. a fly dropped in front of me, missing my plate by an inch.

this time, i was up (i nearly stumbled back onto my chair) and let out an ear-piercing scream.

yes it was ear-piercing. my ears were ringing. my dad glared at me.

well, our house was invaded with flies for the past 2 days. and i have no idea why.

my house is spotlessly clean, i tell you. so clean you can see your reflection on the white marble tiles. i'm not kidding. ask grace.

my mom said it was probably construction that brought the flies. we had to switch off most of the lights so the flies won't be attracted.

"good. we can save electricity at the same time anyway," she said.

whatever. pesky flying freaks. i had a fright when one landed on my eye!!

my sister was laughing. it wasn't funny (ok, maybe it was...) it was wriggling on the tip of my long eyelashes!(ever since then, i have to shade my eyes when i enter a brightly lit room for fear of flies.)

so well, nights were spent navigating in the dark hallway. i used khoon hwa's flashlight.

(remember khoon hwa? during the science symposium thing. my flashlight in the goodie bag was faulty. i asked him to switch with the goodie bag beside him but he refused because he says its wrong. you know, in case the person beside him realises his flashlight is faulty, since its mine and all. but kh was nice enough to give me his in exchange for mine. he says "like we'll ever use this" waving the flashlight.)

if he was here now, i thought. i'm totally using the flashlight. i was using the flashlight in my own home- not due to a blackout, but by flies. idiot.

my dad reasons "why, they also have a right to live!" the flies, he means.

haha. yeah right. i mean, what life do they have? they just fly around and annoy people by getting entangled in innocent girls' eyelashes.

i squashed 6 yesterday and 1 today.

i don't care if i'm gonna wipe out the entire fly population- i'll be glad to do so anyway.
========================================================

"which reminds me. i owe you lunch."

"huh- oh yea! i forgot. where are we eating?"

"you said subway."

"oh no! not subway. my sis says i eat very messily there...you know, i bite...and the stuff everywhere..."

"i don't mind people's table manners....it's not like you have no manners like that..."

"oh you mean, bad manners as in, i might talk with my mouth full, spraying food on your face?"

"yea...or burping. you should know better."

"err...i still don't think we should go subway."

"why? do you eat that messy?"

"you know...loose veggies...the stuff fall out without fail everytime i bite..."

"so it's...unglam, you mean?"

"yeah!"

i swear i thought i heard him snort.

and i pictured myself without table manners. it'll be 'unglam' and uncivilised. me wearing cave-woman rags holding a club spraying spit when i talk.

and i laughed and laughed till we reached the bus interchange.

=====================================================

i tried the sunshine bread buns. cuth's idea.

there's filling inside. i picked the chocolate.

he said "so fattening." and he picked the strawberry.

i wrinkled my nose. "oh, i'm a chocolate person."

actually, i tried to drag him all the way to Hans to buy a chocolate muffin but he didn't budge. no surprise.

"if last time you asked me, whether i loved to eat, i'd say yes, but now i just eat to live," he said.

and that's when it hit me. i'm a live- to- eat person.

i mean, let's face it. if i don't like the food, i'd be unhappy. i always make sure my tongue and taste buds get the best- because i deserve the best.

something like that. eating good food is like...a necessity.

you can't just be contented with mediocre food. not say i have high expectations for food or anything. but i love chocolates, any dishes, any cuisine. Indian, Malay, Chinese, Italian, French, Western, Filipino....

i'll try whatever with ketchup, tartar, chilli or whatever sauce you've got.

grilled, fried, steamed....anything.

I LIVE TO EAT!

i love food. i really do.

=====================================================

1. i must study.

2. i shall not eat unnecessarily.

3. i should stop playing Paris Hilton's Diamond Quest game in my handphone.

4. i should stop cam-whoring for fun because i'm bored.

5. i should probably capture all the flies in my house, put them in a jar, breed them, then drown them like my sis's friend Berenice. (which is a totally psyched idea!)

6. i should stop singing Christmas songs because it is not Christmas yet.

7. i should stop thinking about what to do after exams. like getting a manicure. getting a new hairdo. ice-skating. hanging out. getting some Starbucks frappacino. must stop daydreaming.

8. i should stop staring into space. aka. stoning.

9. i should stop blogging. now. coz i seriously need to study or else i am in deep shit.
