hahaha I was talking to Gwen just now andwhen she suggested going to catch small crabs tomorrow, I was suddenly reminded of my pet crab Crabby aka Crappy. (yes, I know its a very dumb name) Since poor Crappy died under my inexperienced hands, I think I should give a tribute of its very short life.

Four years ago when I was in Primary Six, Seraphina (my primary school best friend) gave me a tiny crab that she caught from some beach! It was really kind of cute; tiny and grey with six tiny legs. It lived in a Ferrero Rocher box with soil from the beach (later I found out from I-can't-remember-who that crabs don't live in soil but they need seawater or sth) and the box sits on a chair in the kitchen. And guess how I killed it? I gave it fish food which it obviously didn't/couldn't eat! Miraculously, Crappy survived for two weeks in our household with only soil, a man-made pool of water and rocks in its habitat. NO FOOD.

Oh man. I feel so bad now that I think of it.

Nah, I'm not going to catch any crabs tomorrow.

in the name of love.

There's a hope, there's a light
and I see it in your eyes
And I hope you can see it in mine
there's a secret held inside
There's a chance, and a time
that the sky could fall tonight
and I will be at your side ;

Didn't feel like blogging these few days so now its time to recap!

Tuesday. Okay I can't remember anything much. Did our group project proposal after school at nicholas's house. Was quite productive (: Then, since Kit Yeng had to leave for hamoc at around five, me and eunice decided to go get dinner from Coronation. On the overhead bridge, we saw this old guy who was carrying like two bags and limping up the overhead bridge with a stick as support. Super poor thing please. So being the super kind me, I offered my angelic help and oh my goodness, I swear that guy was carrying bricks or gold (or both) in his bag! /: When he handed the bag to me, my face was like O.O and the bag plopped onto the ground. hahaha. Okay fine. So I gay-kiang continued to carry it all the way and the guy was walking along so slowly I could feel all my strength seeping away and my fingers breaking and I was sweating like hell. Finally, after one million years, we reached the bottom of the bridge and kind Eunice, seeing the about-to-die YueQi, swopped with me and to my --, she said it wasn't all that heavy. hahaha excuse me! That bag weighs a TON! Yeah that guy wanted to go to some hardware stall in coro so we went in with him since we wanted to go Ke Ai Ji. haha. So, Good Deed of the Day done! Eunice and I are Angels :D

Wednesday. Assembly was great! Ronin was superlatively good and the lead singer could sing like a dream. Seriously. But their CD cover.. hahaha. Had to do duty for bmdp during break and nice soph accompanied me! Thanks girl! :D We managed to sell quite a few charms so I was like, feeling quite happy. After school went to compile pw with eunice and reihorng then left for bmdp duty again. Home with WaiLum (:

Thursday. Longggg Day in school. Anw, I didn't fail my Econs test! hee hee. 17/25. PE after school was fun cus we played Captain's ball (: ReiHorng and Sean are both damnnnn good pls. and our teacher is cool! ha. Went home after that with strong intentions to chiong my chem ILP. Ended up falling asleep and I didn't finish it til like one am? grr.

Friday. I PASSED MY MATHS TEST! by half a mark! hahaha. Okay these tells us that miracles do happen. HAd our 2.4 too. Oh my goodness after ten million years of not running, I nearly bengkui-ed during my run under the scorching sun (it rhymes) hahaha. At least in Crescent, they make you trial run twice before the actual one and theres Mass Runs every Tuesday and Thursday to sustain your stamina. Ugh. Came in 11th in class /: Recess-ed at highschool canteen and it was slack for the rest of the day. After school went to help Terry with the bio board with Claire and then Siyun and I left for Comm Serve. Was nice talking to that girl (: heeee. Reached there at around five when we were suposed to start at three. Whoops. haha.

Today. Had some lousy LEAP programme in the morning. The first two hours of the Service Learning one was super boring /: Thank goodness for the wonderful invention of BINGO. It was our only source of entertainment in the LT. After that we watched a Helen Keller movie which was real good (: Though I've watched it quite a few times already. Lunched at Curry Walk and we got back like half hour late. Whoops. To our surprise, the trainers were pissed and they cancelled the course. What the hell. Stayed in school to play frisbee and stuff for a while and then headed home with ZhuTing.

Going Escape tmr! then Sentosa! (: I'm gg to suffer the consequences when school reopens. ):

Your Love Life Secrets Are

Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love.

You've been deeply wounded in the past, and you're still recovering from that hurt.

It's important to you that your lover is very attractive. You like to have someone to show off.

In fights, you love to debate and defend yourself. You logic prevails - or at least you'd like to think so.

Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high.
Your Love Life Secrets, Revealed


I'm just bored.

Watching the candle flick around, in the the evening glow
I can't let go
when will the night be over?

My academics are suffering and what makes me feel worse (after talking to soph) is that there is no reason whatsoever why it should be when I have all the time in the world! What I lack is the big D word. Discipline. Apparently, I only have the drive to study when I know there is a test or exam like the next day or sth. So you know, I've never really studied unhurriedly before in all ten years of my schooling life, because as far as I'm concerned, unhurried studying will somehow turn into slacking /: Such a sad piece of truth. And this leads me back to the memory of cramming the whole geog and bio textbook into my overheated, minute brain the day before each O'level paper. Pure hell.

Argh. I'll never learn.
Okay after this, I'll go do my econs tutorial (:

Went to school quite early today and I had to report to the beloved Mrs Lee. She took one look at me and said "Hmm your hair is much neater now!" Like obviously. The hairdresser chopped half of my hair off! And so, the whole morning, I was whining and whining to soph and complaining to everyone who asked, "oh my! what happened to your hair!?"/ "ooh you cut your hair?!"/ "gasp! yueqi is that you?!" accompanied by

a) a horrified look
b) an amused look
c) a sympathetic, its-not-so-bad-lah look or,
d) All of the above

Aww. HAHAHA.

School was fine and there was a sad but welcomed interruption halfway through lectures. Tmr is a tutorial day again /:


I didn't mean to fall in love with you,
and baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

Saw this somewhere and its kinda cool! (:

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Heh. I like the dishwashing one!
This is so out of point! :D

Now that the lines have been broken,
I'm too afraid to just look back
The pages have left an empty space,
You were all that I had ;

in the name of love.
9:03 PM

I think I need some time, by myself
Without anyone around
I just need to unwind
In my Time Machine.
I need to go far away,
a few years back will be okay,
I just need to unwind,
in my Time Machine ;

I'm currently addicted to this song! (: It's so cute! haha.

And so, yesterday marks the end of the horrible DW aka Dooms Week! (quoted from YiWei) NAPFA was disastrous cause I got A for everything except my incline so don't talk to me about it. Maths test was as horrible as I had expected it to be so don't talk to me about it also. Okay. Skip skip!

Played frisbee with class after school and I nearly died of laughter! The sight of Terry and Shueli chasing after the frisbee is enough to send everybody rolling on the ground. HAHAH! After that we rushed to the Audi just in time to hear AVIS play "Sweet Child of Mine" (: Super nice!

Left for Comm Serve together with Sean, Siyun and Nicholas at some after-school care place at Bukit Ho Swee where we are supposed to tutor the kids there and help them with their school work. One word to decribe the little kids there is er,.. quite fierce! And a bit scary. haha. At first I was tutoring this nine-year-old boy called Benedict and he's kinda cute. But he keeps making conversation and telling me one hundred and one things about everything when I'm explaining and in the end, he told me in exasperation (omg wth) that I cannot teach! (!!!!!) ahhhh! hahahaha.

Okay so this Primary Four little malay girl dragged me over to teach her instead and I was quite doubtful I could handle her cus she is really really fierce plus hyper plus violent coupled with an attention span of as long as a speck of dust. When this old guy was teaching her, she kept coming over to where Benedict and I were and banging on the table asking Benedict to do his work faster faster faster and then from time to time, she will whip out her scissors and wave it around /: But surprisingly (andd thankfully), she didn't spring around much and actually listened to me quite amiably! :D I think the way she says "ZehZeh" is kinda endearing (: haha. Yeah on the whole it was a pretty good experience lah. Told the kids I'll be back on Friday. I better go buy some sweets to motivate them or sth.

Dinner-ed at Adam's Food Centre and all of us ate yummy prawn noodles before rushing back to school for Pulse concert! (: Anyway, AVIS was great! and so were all the other bands! I think District is damn cool too! Yeap went home pretty late and I was about to die of fatigue.

Woke up feeling feverish today so I didn't go for Interact ): Meaning I wouldn't be running for Interact EXCO anymore ): Felt better in the afternoon so I went to settle my hair for Monday's inspection. (!@#$%)


Don't even dare try to ask me how my hair-cut went.
): ): ):

I'm going to wear a wig to school on Monday /:


So why should I take your hand, when you can't promise happy endings?

I've never been so relieved to get home, not since the last training camp maybe? (And even then I wasn't as happy cus I miss camping) Yeah. Was feeling quite hyper in the morning probably cus of the coffee I forced myself to drink but the effects have worn off and now, I'm so damn damn tired. Which explains what I'm doing here at eleven in the morning. I left school early! hee hee.

Bio test was a big fat killer. Now I know the true meaning of what TWO structured questions is in hc. The question numbers - 1) and 2) IS ONLY FOR SHOW because there are like ten million questions that are totally unrelated under question number ONE. The only thing they have in common is that they are all DIFFICULT. WAHLAO cheat feelings one please ): I didn't finish half the paper and the other half I did was fos. Full of Shit. I'm going to get murdered by Mrs Foo.

Got caught by a Mrs Lee for my attire today also. Yikes. A big fat sorry to Nicholas cause he had to stand there and wait while she finished criticizing me and I finished squriming under her crticisms. Hahah. Okay I feel damn bad cus she asked me where I was from and I have to pass her inspection on Monday before she lets me off /: Oh well.

There's a math test tmr! Everyone who knows me well enough knows how much I love maths and how I never fail to excel in it. Yeah, so tmr will be a happy happy day!

Talk about sarcarsm ): ): ):

I can't wait for tmr to be over.

I AM GOING TO TEAR MY BIO NOTES INTO AS MANY PIECES AS THERE ARE THE NUMBER OF ORGANELLES IN ONE CELL WHICH, SO TO SPEAK, IS ABOUT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILLIONNNNNN AHHH

How the hell did I manufacture 6X10^13 cells in my body when I cannot cram the details of one into my brain?!

Let'e evaluate the productive-ness of my day:

Woke up at eleven. Bad.

Slacked til two. Worse.

Studied five pages of my notes. Good.

Nothing went in. Bad.

Decides to take a break. Okay.

Another page of notes. Good.

Still, nothing went in. Bad.

Gives up. Bad.

Tries again two hours later. Commendable

Concludes that I'm going to die. Bad.


Yeah. You get the picture.

I feel her, slipping through my fingers
now she's gone, I'm sleeping with the light on
And sharks swim through my veins now, that she's gone,
I'm sleeping with the light on ;

ALOT of sleep + coffee = WONDERS!

I feel so alive today! Like I can hop around forever! haha


But this, indirectly means I couldn't stand being confined to the space between my study table and my chair.

As I'm blogging right now, I can't help but feel like DANCING around cus the next three days are holidays! :D :D :D aha. Yeah, I'm seriously sleep-deprived! =.= zzz.

haha right. Had Sports Heats today after school and its surprisingly quite fun! esp the 8X200 relay! :D I've never really ran a race since like primary school so I was like, damn scared lah! I swear my legs were like jelly and my heart was going to hop out of my mouth or sth. HAHA. Anw, I declare that the guys in our class run at the speed of lightning! Esp people like Yong and WahToon and Robert and ChrisSeah and Sean and aiyah, basically ALL OF THEM LAH! (: Super cool! AND Samantha the piao-piao girl! :D And Rui Horng the spring! hahaha. Seven-Five is such an enthu and united class! (:

Yeah before the Heats it was like damn funny cus all of us were moaning and groaning about everything and trying to imagine our worse fates possible. Or rather, I was. hahah! Claire and I were totally whining during Econs and she was like wanting econs to end but not wanting the heats to start. HAHAH! Wanna be stuck in time man. And guess what! There's another Heats on Tuesday /: Oh goodness.

Deal of the Day at Crescent's FunFair!: Twenty-four boxes of tic-tac for A DOLLAR! (: hahah!
And, being the auntie us, ShaoJian and I grabbed three sets of twenty-boxes and..

3 X 24 = A whooping 72 boxes!

Went back to distribute them and ShaoJian and I took a set each (: Sounds very good right? Yeah. But, that was before ShaoJian called me at night to tell me to take a look at the expiry date /: Crap. It expires on this coming Wednesday!! Like wth! So, anyone who wants mint Tic-Tac, please come and look for me. Hahahah :D

; ; ;

Yeah Crescent Funfair was actually quite boring but I was so damn happy to see everybody again! I missed them all so much lah! (: heehee. Its like so, AHHHHHHH to see and hug everyone! ((: Walked around looking for the RedCross stall but I can't seem to find it and Shazwani they all seemed to have disappeared into thin air so I rotted at the Netball court and yakked with Joanne, Dawn, SiYing, HuiXin, YanTing and Yaoen! (: After that Shaojian, JiaHui and the S2 people came over and sj and I decided to pig out. Hahah! Left at around six plus and I finally found Shaz they all again! They were like scolding me for abandoning them! EXCUSE ME! hahahahah :D

After yesterday, I realised once again how important the bunch of wonderful friends I made in Crescent was to me and its like real sad that we have so little time to spend together now that everyone has moved on to different JCs. Its so difficult to meet up and I know as time goes by, I will feel detached from everyone in Crescent already. And, its probably largely my fault ):

Anyway, I think I need to apologise to some people for always not being able to meet up with them. I'm really really sorry eh. Firstly to my bestest squadmates, I'm still sorry I didnt got for squad outing that time! Lets go mug together at BengHui's house! =D

And then to Shaojian! hahahaha our Kenny Rogers date! We are supposed to meet at the middle of the overhead bridge between hc and nj but so far, WE HAVEN'T.

AND of course favourite friend aka janessa! I'm seriously so damn guilty ): I know you wanna smack me already haha. I promise I'll meet up and give you your very belated present the next time you msg me! And I'm sorry I dao-ed you online lah! I really wasn't at the com!! hahahahaha. I know you very nice one lahhhhh, so stop saying you are gg to dao me forever! :D

and lastly to yinyee! haha I think your hair is damn funky! (: hee. Okay we also go out soon okay.

Oh yes. and SOON YINING! I didn't see you at all at the funfair! Where did you disappear to? I wanted to pass you a letter and I didn't know where you fly to already ):

Yeah okay that's quite enough. Lastly, I want to thank the constants in my life- HUIXIN, DAWNNIE AND JOANNE! (: I love you guys, really.

Will we ever take a step forward?

" Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offence and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.


I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others.


It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make.
In every way, a walk to remember.


In front of God and everyone else, I'd promise my love and devotion, in sickness and in health, and I'd never felt so good about anything.
It was, I remember, the most wonderful moment of my life.


It is now forty years later, and I can still remember everything from that day. I may be older and wiser, I may have lived another life since then, but I know that when my time eventually comes, the memories of that day will be the final images that float through my mind. I still love her, you see, and I've never removed my ring. In all these years I've never felt the desire to do so. "

If eating Nerds faithfully can turn me into one, I think I have a pretty good chance (:

Anyway, I just read ZhiTao's blog and I swear its hilarious! HAHAHA! See for yourself!

Description: The name says it all. Dull grey in colour, it resembles the colour of concrete pavement and walls and over the years, this impression is stuck in nearly everyone's head. Nowadays, when people see the uniform, they think of walking pillars. In essence, they think it sucks. yet, there's a positive side which most people choose to overlook. Thickness unrivalled by any other uniform, it provides excellent protection in dire situations. Experiments have shown that it takes approximately 8.52 seconds to burn a hole through a new piece of uniform-- the perfect outfit to have, especially in cases of fire(touch wood, of course). Now, imagine you have to spend 2 hrs below the air-con in the lecture theatre. Who needs jackets, windbreakers or extra clothes when u have such thick uniforms?

The uniform also enables you to camouflage in urban areas. All you have to do is to remove the buttons, paint your face grey, and then stick yourself to the wall/pillar/pavement. chances are, those on your heels will mistake you for an oddly shaped hump.

Want to look like a mugger? No problem. Wear the uniform and you WILL look like one. After all, one of the most famous stereotype is being a mugger school.

Rating: 5 stars. I mean, where else can u get such a flexible and useful product?

HAHA. I hope he doesn't kill me for adapting this from his blog. BUT, I THINK ITS REALLY SUPER FUNNY!, don't you? :D

STJ later! And we have a 73 senior-junior outing coming up! (: Can't wait!
