desperado

Oh My GOD. Like I spent the whole of yesterday with Su Xue, Kharmei, Kai Yan, Kai Yi, Li Hao, and Cheng Hui, prom shopping. It had to be the most dissapointing shopping trip in the entire history of my life.

Okay, the twins got their dresses, suxue got a clutch and a couple of prom unrelated stuff, kharmei got a clutch, lihao got a shawl (i think), chenghui and i walked home empty handed. I did grab Maybelline BB cream at Northpoint, but that was it. Pathetic (for me). I can swear I went to every single shop in Far East Plaza, and I still couldn't find a freaking jacket for prom, which is the only thing that I'm lacking. Wisma Atria was another fruitless trip, so I went to Isetan, i found one, but it cost 80 bucks. Crazy. It's 100% cotton, and the material was like so flimsy.

Well, we'll see, I'm going out again today, hopefully it'll be more fruitful than yesterday. I miss shopping with mom, it's like super fun. Hahax. I don't think many teenagers will say that, but i like being with dad and mom, even just talking.

Ok, i'm going online shopping. ciao =)

it's SO over.

OK, so the Big event of the year is FINALLY OVER. Goodbye Os, never come back into my life again. HAHA, it feels good even saying it.

Went for a karaoke session with Su Xue and Calista yesterday, plus dinner and a short walkabout at Causeway Point. Actually i was intending to watch Michael Jackson's This is It alone yesterday, before the plans for karaoke took over. I'm still unsure if i'm ever going to watch it, especially after reading what Veron wrote about the film. Maybe i'll just wait for the DVD or something.

In the midst of packing up my study room, and all the other areas of the house which I have colonised with my books and papers. It's shocking, to see the huge pile of papers I cleared and stacked, for the rag-and-bone man. I realised I only did about like 6-7 of all the Physics exam papers Mr Lee gave. haha... I'm giving that stack of undone physics stuff to my cousin, it'll probably give him the shock of his life. LOLs. Still there is a lot of exavation work to do, and I hope that the study room will regain it's empty look, just as it was at the beginning of the year. It's a bit weird, though, after 2 years of non-stop studying, that suddenly now you don't have to care about Maths, English, Chinese, Or Sciences at all. I mean, it's not bad or boring, just weird that suddenly, it's all just gone. But there's far from a vacuum left behind. Time to make my life, err... ok, time to create a life for myself. Now Marisol cannot tease me for having no life. Ok, ignore my dry humour.

Some entertainment news:
Taylor Swift won FOUR Country Music Awards! Yay =) She has got to be my biggest idol ever, seriously. No one celebrity has ever inspired so much in me.

Demi Lovato's new video, Remember December is out. I don't really love the song, like to me, it's just an Okaayy song, not fabulous, just Okkaaayyy. anyways, here's the vid.

Tmr's gonna be a tiring day. I'm going shopping with like SIX people, to get the remaining prom stuff. The Grad Nite programme is SUPER BORING. with 3 hours of speeches, videos and prize presentations... and only 1 hour of socialising. Argh, far different from my ideal of a Graduation night. If they were going to add all the speech and prize giving thing, i think it would be much more appropriate if they were to make us wear the dark blue robes with the square hat, not a cocktail dress. Ahh, nevermind. Maybe I shouldn't compare or complain too much.

ok, back to the mess of worksheets and books I left half sorted on the floor.

okay... i really have nothing to talk about today. Just find that my blog posts are getting more and more boring, like there is nothing else to talk about but O levels and JCs and education. Argh. A far cry from the previous laments about boy-trouble and heavy metal bands with tongue cleaners.

I absolutely cannot take in one more page of bio. I keep on either drifting off to daydream land or seriously dozing off in between chapters. i'm guessing it's because this is like the hundredth time i'm going through my bio notes, and seriously, i'm getting really tired of staring at the same words again and again. Probably i'll just finish all the 5 yr series mcq I have, and call it quits.

Over the past few days, I've suddenly become like over-obsessed with prom. Haha, like thinking about what my friends will wear, what the place will look like, what hair I should get, should I go with or without makeup, how and what time i'm gonna get to school and what nots. Kinda hoping in the sidelines that maybe the Jonas Brothers will gatecrash our prom and walaah, we have our live band =) hahaha... totally, absolutely, definitely impossible.

I cannot wait anymore... just GIVE me the freaking last 2 O level papers, and let me get them OVER and DONE WITH!!!!

Fort Hood. Remembered.

Most of you should have heard about the bloodshed at Fort Hood. It's sad, that these brave men and women died, before they could discover the many more years ahead of them. I pray for them, their families, their friends. May they rest in peace. One of my friends, Derrick is going to serve the US Army soon. A patriotic act, yes, but sometimes as friends we can be a little selfish and wish he would reconsider. Sometimes all these stuff, like war, killings, violence, starvation... makes you doubt the presence of God. Sometimes it causes you to wonder, why can't He stop all these? Why can't He shine His light on the people out there who need it so much more than we do? I wonder what a peaceful world would be.

everyone's buzzing about prom now. Orchid Park Students have it way better than us, they have their prom at Holiday Inn Parkview. Mann!! I hope for our Prom they don't create a giant statue of the Oscar Figurine, like they did in their sketch. The first time I saw that, i thought it was one of the weird statue things you see on Easter Island.

Okay, gotta go now.

THREE more to being FREE

That's right... it's just going to be THREE more paper ones. The O levels just passed like a heavy storm cloud, that didn't even rain on us. Okay, bad analogy. Anyways, I'm just soo soo damn glad the worst is OVER. This O level period has been pretty mundane, just studying and all. I couldn't put my mind to studying Bio at all yesterday... I just kept on thinking and daydreaming of the thousands of things that I would finally be able to do once this is all over. Like Prom shopping with BFFs, playing the guitar, whipping up dinner for the family, painting, sketching a few dresses and singing crazily at the top of my voice to Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Jonas Brothers, Michael Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Boys like Girls, Backstreet Boys.... okay, the list is never ending.

I'm still searching for prom stuff. I don't want to like totally stand out from the crowd, just be unique, but at the same time not blend in too well that no one notices, like i've become part of the walls. I need bracelets, earrings, makeup, BB cream, bling-bling=) (haha), tonnes of bobby pins, a clutch, a jacket and to get rid of the stupid acne and panda eyes (that were part of the O level stress and sleep deprivation package). I simply cannot wait to go shopping for the stuff I need! Oh, and I need to exercise. Definitely. I haven't been doing that for like 2.5 months, which is BAD.

scooting off, to play some games and check out more guitar prices. A Yamaha I shall get.

CHEERS!

it's almost over...!!

this spoof video by Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato and friends made me laugh throughout the O level period... I'd thought I'd share that... hahax. Bounce!

YAY. YAY. YAY.

one more Biology paper 2, and the rest's okay. Can't wait till after O levels. The first thing I'll do is settle my prom stuff, the second thing is to get a guitar and a how to play a acoustic guitar for dummies book. After much research, I've decided to get a Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, a.k.a an acoustic country or acoustic folk. It'll suit the type of music I wanna generate. At first I was so bent on getting a Taylor Guitar. That brand is really good, like most of my friends have that brand, or the Gibson... but it's SO expensive. Like 700 -1000 dollars plus. So I've decided to get either a Yamaha guitar, or a Suzuki. They are like so much more affordable. The quality or overtone won't be the same, of course, but wait i'd better till i learn how to play it well first, before the splurge on a Acoustic Taylor, then a Electric Gibson. Muahaha!! Lols. =)

Geog Paper was quite okay, not like the N level paper. Duck head. Argh... Physics was so much easier than expected! I was overjoyed when I saw the paper. I think I have pretty good chances of a B3 or an A2. Yay! no more stuck in B4.

Nutshell? Today was good. Not fantastic (that would be the last day of Os) but good. =) Ok, i'm just going to grab dinner now... i'm FAMISHED.

Week Two

Week one of the O levels passed like a whoosh. I still can't believe I don't have to bother about maths anymore. For the rest of the year, at least.

I feel like my mind is constantly drifting away from revision. Hell, I spend more time thinking about what I'm going to do after I get my life back, rather than worrying about exams. In fact, I'm not even worried that it's the O levels. It's so damn weird. Flashback to the Prelim days, when i would even cry and panic when I couldn't finish my revision. And Now? My mentality is like nothing great is happening. Like I'm just sitting for a little class test. I'm not even taking the Os seriously, until the day before a certain paper, that is. My dad says its good that I feel that way, like i'm not stressed out or such, but I find me strange.

Social studies paper today was okay for me, I think that i'd be pretty safe to assume that I would get at least a B3 for my comb. humanities, since i'm intending to focus more on Geog than Physics for today and tomorrow (Sorry Mr Lee...). The Chemistry paper was a walker, like it wasn't too tough or too easy, just nice.

I've decided to stay in Singapore for JC education. A levels can't be that bad, right? I'm trying to please my mom here, but, I don't know if this is really the best arrangement. Still unsure of stuff. I just hope to get into an average JC. Nanyang's the best choice for now, it's quite near, given the circle line, and there's affiliation points. Anderson is a straight no-no, unless they demolish the school building and build a whole new campus by next year... which is impossible. The fans in their classrooms are hanging by wires, their canteen looks run-down, and their lecture theatre tables are in desperate need of screws.

11 more days countdown, 6 more papers. Hang in there everyone, it's almost over. We already can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
