ct1 down
CT2, prelims and A levels to go.

CT1 went better than expected i think. i'll just leave it as that, don't want to discuss it. many things have happened the past 2 weeks, good and bad. thanks to the CTs i didn't exactly have time to blog. so this is going to be a catch-up-on-everything kind of post.

first up, the good things.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY

AMELINA!



and

HAPPY BELATED BELATED BIRTHDAY

ARINA!



sorry this is quite late and sorry i can't join you guys for the celebrations later today! i hope you understand. but anyway, love you guys lots lots! i express my love for you guys on my blog wayyy too often x)

next, zouk! my first time (sort of) clubbing experience. thank you for coming with me Alifiya and Ella! and Bhen, it was really a good show =)



okay i'm not going to blog about the bad things, when i read depressing things, i feel depressed too. and i think making other people depressed would indirectly make me depressed as well. it's all selfish my dears.

but anyway, i did this rather ridiculous-looking personality quiz that Jeryl tagged me to do on facebook: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

the results, i must say, were surprisingly not that ridiculous. it made me think though. think hard.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

try it! you'll be quite surprised too.

if things that are not directly related to me are affecting me so much, i can't imagine how the people who are directly involved must be feeling.

both of you are so strong. i really admire you guys. i hope everything becomes okay soon.




i miss you Nanima.

-JD, Scrubs

i have a loving family and a bunch of caring friends, and i'm grateful.

but sometimes, just sometimes, i feel so awfully lonely.

but i know i mostly bring it upon myself anyway.

there's a hole in my sidewalk
by Portia Nelson

Chapter 1
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…
I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in… it's a habit.
But, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5
I walk down another street.

scissors, paper, stone
i feel like i've playing that with someone the whole week, and I KEEP LOSING. but before we move on to my whining (i will not call it rants because i don't lie) about the week, it was Yen's birthday on the 8th so let me just say

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY


HOTSTUFF!


thank you for always listening to me even though you may (sometimes) be on the verge of pulling your hair out. i'm sorry that i couldn't celebrate your birthday with you =( i feel really bad. thank you for all the times you've made me smile with your hilarious antics and for all the times you've stood by me when i needed it. i seriously doubt i've been half as good a friend as you've been to me, coz you seriously raise the bar so high i find it hard to reach x) and for the last time, YOU DO NOT HAVE MAN ARMS! i love you babe =)

yes so about this week. monday and tuesday went by so fast i didn't even realise it. you know why? yes i was having STOMACH FLU ew gross. and so i was in this state of half consciousness and very very close to complete delirium and spent the 2 days drifting in and out of sleep, clutching my stomach. but i wasn't even having a severe case of this disgusting flu. my poor dad and Bhen (elder sis) were the ones who did actually reach a state of delirium, and even had an extra day of MC from the doctor x) and my poor mom, running after all 3 of us the whole day. i'm sorry mummy =(

and in this psychotic state i did manage to read the get well soon messages from my classmates, so thank you guys! the best, i must say, was Yen's message. i heard from Sarah the next day that Yen was actually quite upset that my response was not as enthusiastic as she had expected. sorry babe! but i guess my mind wasn't working that great. anyway, this is the message:

I just heard a joke.
This duck walks into a bar and asks for grapes. The bartender said no and the duck thanks him and leaves. The second day the duck comes again and asks for grapes. The bartender said "I'm sorry we don't serve grapes, have never served grapes and will never serve grapes." The duck gets a bit pissed. But thanks him nonetheless and leaves. The third day, the duck comes again. The bartender upon seeing him started shouting "You stupid duck! Stop asking for grapes. This is a bar. If you ask again, i'll nail your stupid beak to the door." The duck remained silent. Then asked "Do you have any nails?" The bartender although puzzled, still replied "No." Then the duck asked "Do you have any grapes?"
Cheer up i love you! :)

YEN IS THE CUTEST I SWEAR. i did half snort when i read it, i have to admit x) talking about jokes, i have one:

Yo Momma's so fat, when she fell she created the Grand Canyon.

HAHAHA. don't you think that's funny? well i didn't get a good response from whoever i told it to today. not even hannah (not even after her 2 minutes pause to think about it)! i'm really losing my touch i swear x)

anyway, moving on with this nightmare of a week. i finally returned to school on wednesday, and chem was first block. that didn't go too well, but i shan't speak about it. then this morning, i was supposed to run my 2.4km which was carried over from last week because i had the normal kind of flu. if i didn't run this morning, my 5 items would get cancelled and i'll have to retake my entire NAPFA all over again with the J1s!

so the question is, did i take it?




NO I DIDN'T I HAVEN'T EATEN A PROPER MEAL IN 3 DAYS THANKS TO THE HORRIBLE STATE OF MY TUMMY. and so along with it went my 5 items. crap. and then i decided to stay the entire day of school today because i was feeling a lot better. GP ended earlier so i managed to leave school earlier too. i was dead tired but had tuition at 4. when i reached home at 330, i was thinking, YAY! i shall sleep for half an hour first. when i took out my handphone, my tuition teacher had smsed me saying he's 10 mins away, can we start tuition early?

my conclusion: LIFE SUCKS.

okay la, maybe just for this week. but it does suck. i did another facebook quiz thing!

2 weeks notice
HAH you got it wrong! i wasn't going to say i just watched Two Weeks Notice because i didn't. instead, i was going to say it is 2 weeks to my Common Test 1, and i'm scared, excited and nervous all at the same time. and those aren't even the words i wanted to use, but i can't think of words to express what exactly i'm feeling. let's just say i'm experiencing a gamut of emotions that all boils down to a lousy feeling in the pit of stomach. but well, nothing's happened yet, let's see when the time comes.


that's the wrapping paper i used to wrap Sarah's belated birthday present. i was feeling quite pleased with myself because Sarah said it was nice and i don't exactly make nice choices most of the time.


so i guess you could say i could hear my heart breaking when it was torn open as such x) but i hope you like your present babe! sorry we gave it to you so late =(


that's my classmate Huiwen if you haven't figured x) she said something highly crude upon seeing this picture. i typed it here earlier, but then i deleted it because i'm such a polite person and all that jazz x) but it was something like this:
"i look like an alien that just came out of an... (THIS IS THE SOMETHING I WILL NOT TYPE HERE)"
are you sad? don't worry x) if you ask me personally i'll still tell you. i guess i'm not that polite after all x)

yesterday's GP class was rather funny x) it was a discussion on war and we were given different realistic political scenarios and had to decide what we would do if we were in that country's place. so one of the scenarios that my group was given was something along the lines of a country ruled by a dictator that has been hiding nuclear arms and trade embargoes etc have still not made the country give them up. but the funny part was the end: "what would your country do if it's not long before the crazed dictator of that country might unleash them (the nuclear arms) upon the world?"

HAHA. and so the discussion went on and my teacher mentioned something about strategies used during war when suddenly:
faris: war got strategies ah??
(a moment of silence)
chongkai: eh faris later you play chinese chess with me okay?

HAHAHA. my classmates make life rather, well, colourful. if you know what i mean x) anyway, Siyun tagged me to do this idiocy test on facebook, and she scored a 3.6 GPA for it!! let's see how well, or hopefully, badly i do:
