clar's verdict on herself: she is very unfit.
i just spent ~1h40mins playing squash. oh wait let me rephrase that. -attempting- to play would be more accurate, haven't the foggiest idea how it's spposed to be played so just whacked e ball around btwn e 2 lines on e wall. now i can hardly type properly. and i must admit i spent half the time picking up the ball haha:p
plus e racket's kinda old so the grip's falling apart n i ended up with black hands *big sigh* don't think i can hold a pen for a while haha this sounds like when we were doing tennis for pe module. i wonder how effective this "exercising" was hmm must try more often n hope for results.
besides that. last day of attachment. kinda sad la won't go to the clinic anymore. i hope they liked e presents tho:S or their kids for tt matter haha. and i finally realised that one of the nurses' name was hooi nee not winnie. cos i kept wondering who hooi nee was and whether she quit or sth then i finally realised aft like 5 days *shakes head* v pathetic clar.
anyways. the op was quite gross. didn't noe had to cut thru so many layers of flesh [more like fat.. could see the yellow and stuff gross huh bet candice will love this] and muscles [?] and wat not. and used so many pieces of gauze to mop up the blood [okay it wasn't that much i think caesarian probably wud have more since its a baby and all]
took out e woman's uterus bcos she had adenomyosis. [forgot wat it is shall hafta go check it out.. but i noe it resembles a fibroid. man i was going to type ressembler as in french -groan-]
anyhow for once i was looking at e real thing instead of at the screen w e help of e laparoscope. very interesting. his sewing is so neat haha. quite cool actually. i always wonder how he figures out wat is wat. and then he pulled out a bit of the large intestine to show me haha. gross huh. and stuffed it back in. okay so this description really doesn't do justice to wat he was doing but ah tts the essence of it:p
the uterus looks really tiny. like maybe just slightly bigger than the huge fibroid frm e german lady on wednesday. anyway surprisingly it wasn't so cold in e op theatre today dunno why.
i figured anasthetists have a lot to say during ops to doctors. and they seem quite slack. just sit around and be "back-seat drivers" as on monday. quite amusing. but conversation is interesting. today they were complaining abt sumiko tan. and the anasthetist was saying tt tomatoes are gd for the prostate. and one of them was thinking maybe that's why italians are so horny.
another day they were talking abt finding nemo. and the anasthetist was saying in e tearoom tt she likes watching spongebob squarepants. with no trace of embarrassment or anyth. admirable!:D hardly find adults saying such stuff i think.
hmm i seem to have ready fingers when i start typing. [variation of the "have a ready pen when i start writing"] okies time for dinner soon yay sushi!:)
totally zoned out today dunno why either. like walking in a dream. [not tt it was a very gd dream/bad dream just didn't noe wat i was doing] and i hate standing in front cos i keep getting picked on and i miss weiying! [quick be honoured if u read this] hahahaha. rite.
surprisingly enough i now prefer "have urself a merry lil xmas" to "what sweeter music" when at 1st it was the other way round. bleargh. well.
don't know what to say. thus am eating honeydew. doesn't make sense as usual. oh i was just thinking socialising is so tiring. wat a lazy clar.
hrms. this is 3rd day of work attachment.
3 major things. 1st abortion. hmm. quite horrifying.. he just sucked everyth out with this vacuum curette thingy. and then at the end all tt was left of the 5-week-old [i dunno wat u call it.. embryo?] was this jar of red liquidish stuff.
2nd yay i got to see a delivery! haha. there wasn't that much blood. i thought the whole floor was going to be full of it or sth cos he was wearing sth like wellingtons but well it was quite under control. interesting seeing the way he stitches tho. amazing how he can see wat he's doing cos i'd no idea wat was happening until the end-product was in sight n it was really neat and looked v normal. and the baby was so tiny:) happy parents tho.
3rd operation. the theatre was freezing cold. and had to change into the green garb [as candice calls it] which was freaking thin. so yeah i was standing around freezing for 1/2hr+ at least it wasn't too long.
laproscopy i think it was called? hmm website spells it as laparoscopy anyways for sure its keyhole surgery. and got to see everyth inside like intestines [i think:] e uterus n ovaries n stuff.
tho the cyst was quite gross. lemme try remember e name.. ah just checked. dermoid cyst. like it had hair and pus and stuff. ugh. was quite surprised that the doc just had to tear it frm the ovary.. only one part had to be cut with this instrument [forgot e name] and this woman kept standing rite in front of me n blocking my view.
afternoon. hmm. saw a 134.5kg pregnant lady. she's like.. 3 times my weight or sth. this little boy was so cute he was fascinated with me n offered me a sweet that the nurse gave him. and there was one cancer case which was very depressing.
came home in a rather bad mood dunno why mom is trying to pry some reason out of me so i told her i was hungry [true to an extent] wonder if i shud have decided to go RDA tmr. hmm. or go on fri for the leader workshop. but on fri so many pple signed up! i think they have an excess of volunteers. and they still welcome somemore. sigh.
i want to buy a horse and a dog [preferably a golden retriever/lab or a mix or anyth tt i like haha] but 1st i'd have to be rich. hais. feel jaded. don't feel like doing anyth. n i hate the way half the books i bought have to have vulgarities. maybe i shud get desensitised. sucky crap.
oh. last fri. this couple came in. doc "how long have u been married for?" [femme was 3 mths pregnant] couple "we're getting married tmr" i was so shocked esp when the doc cud just calmly go on with his questioning/congratulating/watever.
k dinner. hopefully i'll be happier aft eating haha:D
clar is super tired. like. really cannot take it anymore. but i got a leetle bit more energetic upon switching on e comp haha. anyways i gotta charge my phone for a while, don't really like e thought of leaving charging for the whole night. yeah.
anyways. yes. i realised today's gala premiere brother bear was quite similar to le papillon. and also to finding nemo. like journey with one crabby guy looking for a destination and then a spastic companion who annoys the crabby guy. yup. very similar. just the characters that they use. like bear, human, fish. haha. quite cute actually. i was even thinking they should go and do a horse one when i remember spirit stallion of the [simarillion?? tt sounds like tolkien's book] anyways i can't remember e exact name but yeah. haven't watched it yet tho.
i must try n remember some quotes frm kai n cheukka frm yesterday. tho actually today lyd was quite silly [as usual;p] forcing poor joon to finish every bit of pasta and admonishing her for every morsel left behind on e plate. hilarious:D -stomachache frm laughing- joon too.
ah. attachment. too tired to type very detailed stuff. ultrasound's cool but a lot of stuff gets quite routine aft a while cos pple either fall under the fibroid/normal check-up [look at uterus/ovaries] or the pregnancy category. which reminds me there was this very cute couple who were so happy over the pregnancy which made me v happy for them too:) and another couple [husb frm rj, wife frm nj] who were absolutely hilarious. e wife sed her husb was nuts and pathetically squeamish and kept making a whole lot of crazy comments.
kk my eyes have been red for quite a while and i'm dead tired so off to bed! -relief-
ooh poor clar's legs are freaking tired. walking frm cine to fish&co glass hse is quite hmm. plus stops at centrepoint and plaza sing. glad i got mommy's pressie hope she likes it:)
woah backgrd is super noisy. father is trying to help resolve some family conflict its quite funny actually if u look at it lightheartedly.. like.. dysfunctional? i dunno. haha he's like taking charge like he's the boss. wielding all e power.
well dinner was quite hilarious. little foursome was so fun:) lovely memories. and silly pple like us:p oww left foot is having pins n needles. anyways papillon was quite funny but heartwarming to an extent too. felt it could have been longer tho.
ah i'll post my complaints abt lotr sometime soon i guess. tho i think lotsa pple will be after my neck hehe:p time to watch my french show on central! whee~
clar is in a rather bad mood. haha like rollercoaster. cos while i'm blogging i see my last post which says clar is v happy. anyhow. i don't know. cumulation of little crap. sigh hopefully tmr's dinner will make it all fine:) =looking foward= yay:) -temporarily happier-
wat to do? quoi faire. je pense que j'ai peur de trop. mais ce n'est pas vraiment juste si je le fais. haha oh dear i forgot the french word for worry! the SE verb. crap. i think angoisser is. but the other one. ah! s'inquieter. just checked haha how sad! je m'inquiete trop aussi.
yay clar is a v happy clar today:) i'm $100 richer! haha and $200 more to come!:):) whee~ i guess i kinda get a better deal than e SRP ppl huh ;) haha. just tt i somehow think SRP has more recognition though. but still. hahaha! it kinda paid off
was v glad we managed to get our gold if not i'd feel so bad for breaking prof's tradition [past 3 yrs his grps always get gold] ladida:) haha hope choir was okay.. but if it was fun then i'd have missed it! blah watever. i figured going back to sing for 45mins wasn't very practical. n i'd have to sing in court shoes/horrible skirt/long sleeves
and oh i met a lot of nice pple:) yay:)
was actually feeling quite happy after talking to my ex-piano tcher but after tt all sorts of little crappy things disturbed me quite a bit. ah heck. concert on tues! haha yay will be able to find more nice songs whee~ :)
aiyah i want my finding nemo dvd! .. patience clar .. o well. i shall go watch somemore of my vcds bwaha:) my hols are really.. haha.. hmm.. and suddenly nearing the end of terp i kind of appreciate learning all the extra stuff:) although tts probably cos its nearing the end. haha. and i still hate waiting around in the lab/outside. bleah!:p haha. okay my good mood has kind of returned yay:)
sigh i was actually quite happy upon returning frm terp. cos i managed to find an explanation to sth in the ppt!:) and pointed out sth else. whee~ but.. on getting home.. haha.. forget it.. its quite dumb anyhow. not worth it. plus i'm probably just being me as usual. hate this. sigh. now lemme go find sth nice to watch on tv tonight:)
whee~ i'm currently on a bit of a high. cos i found my vcd!:) am so grateful:) haha. but i guess watching it 2 nights after i watched it for the 1st time wasn't such a great idea. but it was still good:) yay!:) i was so afraid i wudn't be able to find it.. and then poof! decided to follow my mom to westmall n pop into e shop n found it! yay yay yay:) lovely show.
btw does anyone have e vcd for amelie de montmartre? mom taped for me on wed nite [central] but somehow the stupid tape stopped n there was like ~15mins left? so dunno how it ended! so annoying. hais. plus all e flies were attracted to the living room light n landing all over e place. !!
o yes n i wanna buy e vcd for imptance of being earnest! hais. o i was rather surprised my mom didn't like question me why i was buying e vcd today [esp since its like chinese] like the other time when i wanted to buy anna n e king.
anyhow clar's happy for the moment. at least makes up for the sinking feeling that i felt when i woke up. that today's sunday. n tmr's monday. equals terp again. its like tt horrible lab is my 2nd home for e moment. i think i'd rather spend my time in sch.. at least there're more pple there tt i noe:p at least aft sat it'll be over! n then there's ssef nxt yr too. haha.
ah watever.. and work attachment.. n hopefully i can go get my horse cip done yay:)
ooh. just back frm e french farewell party for m dremaux. and from fetching serene n cheukka home. i must admit the funnest part was when we were doing e wrapping. and all tt was missing was yunlei. haha:) brought back so many memories. esp when i was looking at the photos today afternoon.
anyways. the wrapping. so. ziwei n kai-lyn bought a present. and wrapping paper. so we went up to crystal's room [which is really cool! like this attic cosy corner:] to wrap it. no scotch tape to be found in the house! [wow. quite unbelievable] so we'd to figure out some way to wrap it without using scotch tape.
the whole scene reminded me of the farewell for the french correspondants too.. when we [me cheuk kai yun] were at kai-lyn's corresp's flat wrapping kai's pres [i think] and kai was "boasting abt her superb scotch-tape cutting skills" [quote yun] and yun herself was boasting abt her own superb gift-wrapping skills. which ended up really funny.
so. after many failed attempts to wrap it we finally somewhat succeeded with some cooperation. and kai-lyn's suggestion during e gift-wrapping "let's wrap it up with a telephone wire!" [after seeing e wire lying about in crystal's room] typical kai-lyn crap.. which i kinda miss actually;p haha
therefore the gift was wrapped. but the flap wudn't stay down! kai's brilliant solution: use glue! [and it refused to stick] so it was like a self-opening present. ah some things can't be adequately described in words but it was hilarious:) n really fun:)
mme faussat's son is so cute! n she n m quenot are hilarious:) n "drunk" jireh in denial. and deprived liangsi. haha so crappy. anyhow. must have tt outing real soon. after all e memories start coming back.
aiyahs i thought i'd forgotten abt french but after reading other ppl's entries on yest's paper i'm like.. crap.. wat if i really screwed up.. esp when i think i'm one of the very few who actually ventured to do the passe simple qn.. but i don't remember using much passe simple.. mostly description [therefore imparfait] and flashbacks to stuff tt happened in the past of the past [therefore plus-que-parfait]
someone reassure me i didn't screw up the paper. sigh. and hearing liangsi complain a lil abt how she forgot it was remplace par [i got it wrong too] made me a lil more depressed. n i felt like wanted to give up after the 1st 1/2h.. stared at compre qns.. din noe how to rephrase.. had no ideas for compo.. fabricate some pathetic narrative or go find arguments for the other one? hais
anyways. enough of french. now about pw. i have so many grouses i dunno where to start. haha. n i don't think i'll feel v happy if i bitch abt everyth i want to here cos.. well.. not nice. yeah. presentation. haha. watever. hope i didn't screw it up too badly. and the Q&A! e way they were nodding aft i finished seemed like "okay.. she can't give u anyth better.. forget abt asking anyth more"
and the file! very dissatisfied.. sigh sometimes i wonder if lyd was right.. abt how it wud be v diff if it were done in rg. i don't noe. somehow i don't really remember our projs being of exemplary quality.. *shrugs* can't remember.. maybe it wasn't though.. somehow i always felt that watever grp i was in we weren't v productive.
and i wanted to go join candice n siewjin n yaozong n junming for lunch or watever it is they're doing but no.. i have terp.. and then the presentation is nxt sat.. so more stress.. and tt also means reading up on PLASMA and FARADAY CUPS for the whole of nxt week.. i hate Q&A..
basically i've no free time. hardly enough. why do i get myself into so much freaking crap is a mystery to me. n i think i complain a lot.
just had listening. think it was okay:) hopefully:)
so. last paper tomorrow. in a last-ditch attempt i've been swamping myself in frenchy stuff until i almost feel like i'm in france! hais. so i'm taking a break for now. since i've just finished a paper. it has also made me extremely hungry.
hmm. so. 5 years of french. i can't really remember much abt sec1. mme gwee. besides e fact tt i sat w chris till she quit. n 1/2 e time i cudn't really figure out wat was happening so i'd just copy off her:D and i remember serene sitting with linda and they always made a whole lot of noise:p
sec2 n 3. m. yong. super nice. but lotsa weird stories:p n sometimes got a bit boring. and his roleplays! left me quite sian at times haha:) didn't really like them cos they were so crappy. but so nice of him to send postcard:) oh!! and his end-of-the-yr games and prizes.. i think e 1st french book i owned was frm him:) and all the feasts too haha yummy:)
oh and he went off to france for a while n m quenot came in.. he was hilarious:D n ser w her crush [rite? if i remember correctly] his horrified expressions at our pathetic french n freaky ideas [like locking sb into e cupboard until he confessed] n joon's command of e language:p still remember some phrase to do with a valley n joon kept giving the wrong preposition, one of which caused e valley to be climbing up the mountain or sth:p
and also tt time when we were throwing notebooks/dictionaries across e room behind his back n making a whole lot of noise
sec4. mme faussat. oh no wait actually i was assigned to m dremaux's class but the beginning was really horrible. like. cold envt. and french names.. virginie??!! was i glad i managed to escape to mme faussat's class. haha. altho tt was the super-power class.. with all the french shen2s..
well anyways she was really very hilarious.. i think every lessons i cud find a quotable quote from her.. tt also cos of crystal [lee]'s and ningqi's conversations with her.. but also remember she got pissed at us in the beginning cos we all weren't talking.. oh and she was also saying she'd become deaf in the moelc classrooms, just a matter of time:D
and in the middle of last yr we had the 4.30 class thanks to spastic rg's extra classes.. back to m. dremaux.. and with more french names.. ugh.. at least this time we cud choose..
so skip to this yr. straight 2-hr lessons. with m dremaux. well. wat can i say. at 5.30.. when i'm usually half asleep.. no matter wat time i sleep at nite.. o well..
oh. yes. and immersion. it was so so fun:) which reminds me.. oh dear.. still haven't met up to exchange photos! sigh. anyhow. i'm not sure i got along v well with my correspondant. but. besides tt.
well. guess tts all e reminiscing i'll do for today. hopefully i spelt tt correctly hmmm.. haha.. heck.. more french! tmr's gonna be freaking busy. 2h45 paper, to sch for pw, to ntu for terp. no lunch. well.
i'm in a freaking bad mood. hah. 1st. pw. 2nd. french crap. don't noe la.. i think its mostly pw tho.
okay. so we didn't rehearse b4 presenting in front of mrs cheong. given tt i added all tt stuff last nite.. a bit bound to get into trouble yeah. and given tt zj only had a cursory look at the presentation b4 we started. so of cos the clicking was terrible. esp for mine since i added stuff. and then somehow the animations were totally screwed up, such tt the points came out in halves [miraculous huh] which was actually quite hilarious at first but after tt i was wondering how it happened.
n i totally screwed up the question-answering. somehow just blurted out the wrong thing n had to attempt to save myself [rather unsuccessfully i mite add, just ended up confusing mrs cheong]
yeah. so given tt the whole op was a fiasco and it was spposed to be better than the 1st one.. um.. yay? esp all tt freaking time i spent last nite.. so annoying
oh one funny thing. when we [my pw grp] n matthew [frm e other pw grp] went to look for mrs cheong in e staffrm, matthew thot his grp disappeared when they were actually waiting outside. so later when both our grps were at the classroom junming got a msg frm mrs cheong "we're at 2-6. matthew is with us." given tt we were ALL at the classrm n she wasn't in sight tt was quite funny:D
anyway. so it didn't help tt ser called me twice for fun [and my batt was running low] and my mom was asking abt e op when i had low batt. n later ser didn't reply to my smses asking where they were so i'd to call her n ting [who both didn't pick up i mite add] got rather annoyed. but at least aft i met them it was fine for those few hours.. at least.:) thanks for a great time:) tho SOMEONE as usual kept whining abt SOMEONE else. bwaha:D diaoing time! but i've probably done enough of tt today.
so. french. n i thought no problem with french class n pw on monday cos usually french is at 5.30. but no! dremaux says tt he has invigilating in e morning n classrms are all occupied in the evening so we've to have class in the library which closes at 5. um. yay? since i've to be at pw oral presentation frm 12.45 to 4.30. so i got quite pissed off again cos its like.. hmm.. this is partly my fault i haven't started revising/anyth.. n i really need help for essays esp which he's doing on mon. SUCKS.
wat with
1)pw
2)terp
3)french ao's
4)cip form in by fri n the real cip to do
5)work attachment
how is tt possible tt post promos seems as stressful as pre promos?
today was.. quite fun too!:) yay. watched matrix revolutions. [for those who haven't watched n don't want me to spoil the show, skip the nxt 2 paras]
i still prefer the 1st matrix somehow. well. reloaded didn't live up to expectations. revolutions. mm. i dunno. how could they kill off the hero n the heroine! tt was so tragic. hmph. i wud have wanted to see them fight somemore. haha. tho i thot the fight btwn agent smith n neo was quite dumb actually. since when do pple fight and rise in perfect spirals.
thought their "APUs" [watever they stand for] are quite funny n cool:) tho during the scene where they just showed the nice formation of APUs n watever machines i was quite amused n was like "hmm.. okay.. pretty formation.. yay.. watever.." and haha at least they didn't have much time for love scenes. tho i thought just for that scene where one of the captains [or commandos or sth?] was slashed across the face by lotsa sentinels, they mite have rated it nc-16. haha. it was so gross.
speaking of which, after i read some stuff online i find tt some stuff was cut out of reloaded? either that or i forgot [which is actually kinda fast] cos they had something about a "ghost" [whom i have no idea who it is] and niobe kissing persephone [is tt her name?]
ah. then went pooling. which was kinda fun cos i haven't pooled in like.. 6+months. how sad. and actually found somewhere which doesn't mind having u in wearing sch u. so much easier than changing. bwaha:D my aiming is quite pathetic haha. with me n siewjin against her, grace only narrowly lost.. so we were like.. go join shaun n dasheng.. can promote her to major league liao. n siewjin n i took like 1/2h to finish one game how sad is tt. haha.. she was like.. "cannot make it.." the whole time
hols = pw, french aos, terp, work attachment, cip, dunno wat else [in chronological order] bleargh:( wish i weren't so busy. doesn't seem v attractive to me. but again if i didn't have stuff then i'd probably be super bored. aah. but at the moment, bad mood cos its like 12+ i'm tired i wanna go sleep but i've to fake stupid grp evaluation of sources by tmr n i think my minutes are quite horrible:(
ooh. quite a nice day:) actually i dunno why also. haha. i was kinda surprised mr toh made me sing sop1 for the song but tts fine by me.. although my voice was in quite a horrible condition today didn't sound the way i wanted it to. relegated back to the front row. how tragic:P o well.
and during e break i ran over to visit my mom [who happened to be talking to mrs cheong] bwaha. trust my dad to rant on and on abt chorale.. it was rather hilarious actually later mrs cheong was telling me she's glad she's not e chorale tcher.. who wud have to face his tirade.. and sed he got very worked up [sigh] typical daddy. o well. hopefully she accepted my explanation n doesn't like go n pass on my dad's complaints or sth. i guess if she waters it down it wudn't be so bad.
somehow i think the car breaking down was quite amusing:D like suddenly.. oh! no more car. haha. so i was hanging around sch n sort of catching up with ppl e.g. jiahui selene mingjing. quite fun:)
and it was also very interesting hearing abt wat e tchers said. i mean like. hmm. with abbb i'm considered a "strong student". by mrs cheong. haha. okay. watever. at least she was nice:D and ms tan's "heart-to-heart talks" with pple who won't be able to take chem s but want appeal. erps. hmmm.. -quizzical- and mr chan [ter yue] sed i'm hardworking [or a gd student or sth to tt extent] compared with last semester's "looks dazed and lost in class" .. HMMM.. very suspicious..
and mr chan [cheow hwa] who says he only remembers me asking him ONE question n nothing else [well tt was only bcos no one else in e class knew how to do] and my dad sed he was v pitiful cos he was saying nobody answers him in class when he asks if everything's alright.. tt kinda happens during every class just tt i guess the rest of the tchers gave up or sth.
and mrs lim!! hahahaha.. her comments were e most amusing.. apparently when my mom sat down she sed 'oh!! u look so much like clarissa [or maybe its the other way round i forgot] demure, cultured, soft-spoken, gentle, etc' u get the idea. i was laughing my head off in the car. i'm "well-behaved". dunno wat else.
one of them sed i'm usually v quiet in class but once in a while will start whispering to my frens and start talking a lot. somehow i bet tt was ms jeanne tan n its probably serene's fault cos she always talks so much. she sed i was weak in organic chem [i don't think so!!] and energetics [yeah this one i admit i somehow can't do e qns during exams]
french yesterday was quite funny. yes jireh shuddup abt my pathetic rephrasing will u :p i still like e avocat thingy:p
after listening compre
liangsi "wat was that avocat thing?"
m. dremaux "avocado?"
jireh "oh so he hired an avocado to represent him in court?"
so my mental picture was this huge fruit [like those cartoon fruit thingies] with hands and legs and eyes holding a briefcase striding into court.
hmm. today's "class breakfast as bonding activity" was quite hilarious. given that it was in place of a phys tutorial cos most of us forgot to bring tys [i really really thought we didn't need tys haha.. just remembered to bring e tutorial only] so someone suggested we have bonding activity [brought over frm e civics EQ thingy bwaha:D]
and mrs cheong seemed so set on making sure the class bfast thingy materialised.. -amused-.. anyways i think we needed it la.. the way we're so segregated most of the time.. heard so much stuff frm her it was quite interesting:) and i can't imagine why she doesn't want to let us know her bday.. weird.. oh and i [okay my whole class]
speaking of bdays, didn't noe ms tan's bday was yesterday! ahh.. quote eunice: "we should have made her happy instead of pissing her off" and no wonder she was wearing contacts. haha.
argh. now i dunno wat to do abt job attachment. don't know if i want to go. don't know what i should do abt choir. don't know about holiday. help. :( decision making time! my worst nightmare. blah. oh and i would gladly drop bio for french a's just that i think my french has been deteriorating steadily since beginning of e yr!:( and it mite not work out v well either. bleah:(
bah. not very satisfied with results. keep feeling like i haven't reached my full potential. or maybe i'm just getting stupid:S or my class pple [esp e guys] are phenomenally smart. [which is true but that's kind of besides the point]. put it this way, i believe i'm capable of better. throughout the whole yr i've never been satisfied with any marks.
ah i sound like this super-competitive exam-crazed maniac. forget it. somehow ABBBB3 just doesn't cut it. esp when i missed A for chem by 1 mark! *screams n pulls hair out* bah. annoying. n maths was full of careless mistakes.. hopefully phys wasn't another whole lot of rubbishy mistakes as well. cos i thot i could get a higher b instead of a mid one. watever. n i feel like dropping bio.. its so tedious to study and so hard to get results [for me anyway] talk about a very lazy clar.
i should just thank god i can take s papers. yup. but its just expectations of myself from myself. was falling asleep during french. was thinking it'll be quite cool to study in france and come back and be able to speak french fluently like a native! like.. total immersion.. not like last yr's thingy when we could fall back on english most of the time.. but the price to pay.. haha.. learning everyth in french? mmm.. hmm... haha..
haha i love gerald durrell's "my family and other animals".. was laughing like mad last night while reading it.. his family members make the most hilarious remarks! my mom must have thought i'd turned into a hyena.. practically howling with laughter every few minutes:D nice stress relief
pleasant surprise today!:) i had a great time tonight.. had dinner w leeting n xuwen n hannah n grace n guanzhen [whom i didn't noe was going to appear actually haha] and it was hilarious.. wat with ting buying a happy meal [oops hopefully pple won't think the worse of her for that:p] n us all having lotsa fun with the little car haha;D and xuwen stealing food + drink from everyone cos she had mac's for lunch
and after that ting xuwen hannah n i went on to westmall.. none of us possessed a pen, of which ting was quite anxious to get so she could pen something on pam's photo. so we decided to go to popular. and had a hilarious time there. partly cos of ting's silly remarks and my sarcasm [or ridiculous remarks made with a straight face] whichever way u choose to look at it. i guess it encompassed both.
anyways. 1stly she forgot to bring my present. of which the only thing she would say was that it was "made of goblin's silver" and had something to do with "the quiet sound of cats' footsteps", watever that meant. and accused me of not having read enough children's storybooks to noe wat she meant. sed she got it from some goblin's book. in which i replied sarcastically tt it was SO obvious which book she got it from. so i wandered over to look at enid blyton's books. and actually found a book entitled the goblin's workshop or sth like tt. ah basically we were just having lotsa fun being silly.
and after that i decided to measure my height from this hanging chart [which obviously wasn't at the correct height] and happily sed "oh look! i'm 1.6!" so leeting took the chart off and positioned it somewhere at my waist and sed "oh come on u're 2.something!"
so. we wandered from children's books to teenage fiction. and then leeting walked into the chinese children's section n sed she needed those books cos her chinese was deteriorating terribly. in which i sed i consoled myself with the fact tt at least she turned to her left instead of the right. ["preschool books" was on the right]
ah actually after typing all tt out it sounds quite dumb. nvm for my own amusement:) so later we ended up at shop n save. n then leeting wanted to buy some dried satay fish thingy. n xuwen didn't want to buy for herself cos she wud get sore throat. so hannah was like "oh pw issit" and leeting asked "ur pw is about sore throats?" the look on xuwen's face was priceless. [in fact she gave quite a few priceless looks thruout the night] so she patiently proceeded to explain that "for my pw presentation, unlike yours, my group has to open their mouths and speak. so, if i buy that i'll just eat and eat and might get a sore throat, which would somewhat affect the quality of my presentation". something to that effect. i forgot the 2nd part of wat she sed so tt's a summary. rather poor one tho.
think there was somemore hilarious stuff but can't really remember. its been a really long time since i've laughed so much on an outing.. must be something to do with orchard road.. haha.. tho actually i think i've laughed a lot during some lecture or another.. with serene.. well anyways i never knew xuwen was so sarcastic/ridiculous too. despite being in the same sec 3 n 4 class. n i enjoyed myself so much seems like there hasn't been a time as good. but again it always seems so at that point in time.
anyway what matters is that i had tons of fun!:) its quite surprising how u can manage to have a great time with pple whom u least expect it with. not that i was expecting to be bored/anyth but yeah just didn't think it wud be as fun as it was:) so clar is happy!:) and on a high. even with the thought of terp tmr. haha.
heh. i'm quite sick of open house actually. maybe i should have gone to join OH team. don't know. hardly see anyone around except chorale pple. not that they're not nice. but well. seems like its a pure-choir week or so.
and it was a v pleasant surprise!:) my book! haha.. quite amazing how candice could buy the exact book [okay not the exact book but the author anyhow] tt i wanted/was planning to buy.. quite cool:) made me happy anyway
oh n it was also a pleasant surprise tt mr toh praised sops for being the most prepared/confident among the sections.. kudos to val n tiff!:) bwaha
anyway i think i sound like i've gone mad but i'd rather hurry up n get results back.. the wait seems interminable.. but again if i screw up everything i'll probably be very unhappy n wishing tt i nv got results back. aiyah.
oh i must make sure i watch all the dances [dance club, rhythmic gym performance] and every faction's cheerleading! :):):) after being deprived of the cheerleading cos of choir prac [still remember it was e day b4 finals tt why cannot pon] i must see it tmr! whee~ hope it'll be a nice day
n i must buy all e books i want by this weekend yay:)
my poor legs are so tired from ~5hrs of standing thanks to choir [sectionals in a TS without chairs; combined in LT standing in front of mr toh w/o chairs] i had to come home n lie on the bed n recuperate. still very tired legs.
oh n i forgot to add, jireh's n amogh's emceeing = hilarious n so crappy.. ah well.. at least it's fun:)
