Hi (:

My name is Arathi and I'm pretty awesome.

Sixteen candles on the 20th March '11.

This blog is for my own personal ranting/whining/hypering, its not meant to offend anyone. If you don't like my blog, or what I write, you're free to leave.

Okay, I know I have been seriously neglecting my blog, but I can explain myself! Firstly, I was in India from 19 Oct to 26 Oct! Went for my grandmother's prayers which were really sad and sombre ): I wasn't really close to her, but its strange to think that she won't be there the next time I go with her potato stew and appam. But after the prayers, I got to celebrate deepavali in india! Ohman, it was so insane, you have no idea! I took tons of videos, will post them when I have time (:

Next, my GPA for this year is like really dismal. I was super disappointed, and I could tell that my parents were too, but they were being really nice to me. I started crying in the middle of the conversation, because I just felt like I was letting everyone down, and that I was being an embarrassment to my parents. And I honestly think my mum is psychic, cause she looked at me and went "You do know that we're not ashamed of you or anything right?" which obviously made me cry harder. Ah, my parents are so nice to me. But yeah, I'm not going to be ashamed of myself either. I mean I got a shitty GPA, I didn't cheat on my exam, or get pregnant or something. I studied hard, but it wasn't enough. I just have to take that into perspective and study a LOT harder next year. JC is what really matters anyway.

Moving on, I AM SO TERRIBLY UPSET THAT I COULDN'T GO FOR TALENT VOGUE AND WATCH CHANEL BEING AWESOME )': I COULDN'T GO FOR ICS FAREWELL EITHER. DAMNIT. I've been really sick the past two days D: food poisoning sigh. The food in our school canteen/cafe ah. Fail. FAILLLLLLL.

Friday night was one of the longest nights of my life I swear. I was really sick, and was moaning throughout the night. My dad was an absolute darling I swear. He stayed next to me the whole night, and getting me water and holding my hair up while I emptied the contents of my already empty stomach. And on Saturday too! He came with me to the clinic, and waited an obscenely long time to see the doctor. Hahaha, my dad was all panicky and funny cause I hadn't eaten for like 24 hours. But I didn't really have an appetite. At all. Like the thought of food just made me nauseous. Still does actually. And it sucks cause my mum bought home naan yesterday but I didn't feel like eating it.

Now, I'm just sitting around looking like some hobo. Haven't combed my hair the whole day xD only family can see you like this and still love you, I swear. Sigh. Deepavali dinner was supp to be today, but is postponed to next week. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING GUYS YOU DA BEST.

OH and thank you to everyone who messaged me, or mentioned me on their blogs (yes shimei, I do read your blog) I do appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness, I love all of you so much. I will get better! 

Okay, I haven't posted in SUCH a long time omg. I've just been really busy, cramming for math and all. I honestly never thought I'd ever say that, but its true. I've been studying my ass off for math, the subject I hate with a passion. The Math1 paper was prettyyy bad, because I just blanked out as usual and wrote rubbish. Put +c for definite integrals -.- WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME. Ms Hoo literally strangled me the next day D: D: And the worst part is, this means I actually have to mug for Math2 D: I just reallyreally wish that I wasn't taking math next yearrrrr. But tough luck. I am. This sucks. It feels like I'm betraying myself by willingly signing myself up for torture.

On a bright note, I did well for SS! :D :D :D I was quite disappointed after the paper cause I knew I could have done better, it wasn't my best. But apparently it was enough! I GOT MY OVERALL 4.0 FOR SS! :D okay considering my grades in everything else is shitty, this makes me deliriously happy (: I heard the English compre was horrible (mr angullia was tormenting us with the information) I heard the History SBQ was horrible. I KNOW the Bio paper was horrible. I know Math was terrible, and will be terrible. I have little hope for Chemistry. And my self confidence in Lit was completely crushed last time round soooo..

What's my new haunt you ask? That's right, British Council. HAHA, Shimei has heard plenty about my BC obsession ahahaha. Its just really conducive okay!! Its full of nice angmoh people who smile and you and stuff. And the study area is very quiet and uncrowded. I have several straight buses home, and Tanglin Mall is right next door! Haha, yes I like Tanglin Mall. Its very atas and like cool. Because it has all these interesting shops and I just love walking around and wasting time there ahahah. I'm like super productive when I study there, I'm super proud of myself (: Its going to be my new study place (: And in Clara Poa's words, 'FREE AIRCON!' :D

Haha, oh speaking of Clara Poa, she said that my blog is very commonwealth essay-ish. I was oddly flattered xD I mean, noone has ever said that before but it makes me feel smart and intellectual. HAHA rubbish la, obviously she hasn't read all the crazy RG girls' blogs. They are so smart and cheem. Mine is stupid and bimbo, but whatever.

OH and I watched the new episode of Glee! :D Mercedes annoys me. BUT OMG I FELL IN LOVE WITH MIKE CHANG EVEN MOREEEE (: (: (: AND PUCK SOUNDS HOT WHEN HE SINGS. AS DOES MIKE CHANG OMG YAY (: I felt so happy for him at the end!!! :D I just really love Blaine too omg. I just feel so happy when he comes on (: AND AHHHH DAMIEN IS COMING ON NEXT EPISODE RIGHT!? EXCITEMENT.

Oh, speaking of shows, I started watching Modern Family! Haha, almost done with Season 1 actually. Its pretty good! Not as good as HIMYM but still good (: I love Mitchell hahaha he is damn funny, and I love his ginger hair (: and I love Jay! :D he is very nice and funny hahaha. But omgggg, Phil annoys me like asdfghjkl. He is damn loser and irritating omgggg. He has NO redeeming quality whatsoever. HMPH.

Hm, didn't go to school today cause wasn't feeling too well, and didn't want to risk falling ill (math is next week!!!) so slept a little longer, and it felt absolutely amazing. But right now? I'm craving for really good ice cream. On a cone. Like the rich, creamy kind. Either vanilla or hazelnut or somewhere along those lines. But my area sucks, and the only ice cream on a cone I can get, is from Macs -.- unless of course I drag myself to West Mall. Which I don't want to. Sighhhhh. Okay, I need to make full use of today and do math!! I've slacked enough so far! Slept and watched the new Glee episode.

Oh btw, I WILL GO BERSERK IF KURT BREAKS UP WITH BLAINE FOR SOME STUPID REASON. SERIOUSLY. I WILL JUST KILLLLLLLLL SOMEONE. PREFERABLY RYAN MURPHY. THEY ARE THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW, AND THEY CAN'T DO THAT. Hmph. And and seriously, Kurt looks a lot better this season!! :O shimei and I were discussing it the other day and she agrees! He totally does, but we can't figure out why! I think its because he's a lot less uptight. But dunno. OH and we realized that we rarely see Kurt's teeth!!! :O :O :O so disturbing. But yes, I think so far, this season is pretty good. I love Puck (: (: (:

Okay, so basically, I finally watched 500 Days of Summer! And I'm happy to say that it wasn't as bad as I initially thought it was hahaha. For those of you who don't know, I have tried to watch the movie like 3 times, but never got past the first 10 minutes, but today I watched the whole thing :O It was quite a good movie actually, there are some things I want to talk about!

Firstly, SUMMER IS A HORRIBLE PERSON OMG I HATE HER. Ergh, so frustrating. As in seriously, Tom is like asdfghjkl. I mean, yeah he's a little wimpy, but he's like.. He wants to define a relationship! I love guys who define the relationship. And Summer is just so horrible to him, and I'm sosososo glad that he didn't get together with her in the end cause she's a horrid bitch and he deserves better. I MEAN HE MADE HER A MIX AND SHE DIDN'T LISTEN TO IT. Adhfbgurhbvu. If a guy made ME a mix.. Sigh. Where are all the Toms in the world, and why are they hiding? )':

Secondly, I totally agree with what he said about greeting cards!! I HATE greeting cards. Its so impersonal and fake. I mean, a card should contain personality and memories and jokes and compliments and sincerity, and I highly doubt this can come from someone else's office cubicle. I never give greeting cards to people, ever. Yeah, I'd rather have a handwritten note on a piece of foolscap with 4 sentences than a $5 greeting card. And yes, I'd rather have a long note than a gift. Its just so much more meaningful you know? Oh and you guys know how much I love words.


Did I mention that I love this song? No? Well, I do. I love Beejees. And The Beatles (duh) and Simon and Garfunkel, and Bonjovi, and John Denver, and Kenny Rogers, and the Carpenters. And ah, I just love old songs okay. Like a lot. They just have so much of sincerity. And they're so innocent and good-willed and cute and happy and upbeat and sweet and just.. Ah. Yes. HAHA, Chanel and I were singing Burning Love in Math today hahahaha. And You Give Love A Bad Name (:

OH, and I really love urban photography and art. Idk, I guess I've grown up looking at all these nature-y paintings (my house is filled with Monet) and don't get me wrong, I love them, but I still really love urban sketches and paintings. And photos. Like how they can really capture the essence of the city and and people and the atmosphere. I love it. My future house will have a lot of them!! :D

One is Raffles Marina. Its a dock, and its really far away from my house, but my family and I head there sometimes for dinner. And I adore sitting by the water and seeing the lights reflect off the dark expanse of water. Its so peaceful and serene and I feel so.. At peace there.

There's this place in India which I fell in love with. We were driving, and we crossed this bridge like thing. And on the left was this river, and it was covered with these white flowers, and they were gorgeous. I think they were weeds, but there were so stunning when they were swaying in the wind, and it was just so beautiful. I only caught a glance of it that once, but I've never really forgotten it.

Haha, the next one is pretty close to home! Its the balcony in school! Haha, the one over the amphi you know? On the second floor? Hahaha, last year, I used to go there every morning, before assembly and just mull things through in my head. Its nice there in the mornings, the air is cool, and you can see everyone walking into school. I really thought a lot there, and I used to spend at least 10 minutes everyday by myself in the exact same spot. After which various batchmates will join me and we'll talk about life (: I still go there sometimes, in the morning, and stare out. Its a place I'll really miss when I leave RG, but I promised myself that I'll find my own ulu spot in RJ to muse in the mornings haha (:

Finally, another random spot which I like, is this bridge, on PIE. Its somewhere near the Bedok exit I think. And its so pretty honestly. Its a white overhead bridge, crossing over the highway. Everytime I pass it, I always tell myself that one day, I will go sit on that bridge and look at the highway. Its just one of those things that I really want to do. Absolutely irrational of course, but yes. One day, I will bring someone to that bridge and look at all the cars which pass by and talk about life. And when I bring you there, you know you're special. We're going to look incredibly stupid, sitting there, because people do use it, but whatever. I will sit there, dangle my legs, in the evening, watch the sunset, and watch headlights of cars' at night, cause its something I've wanted to do for a really long time.

I love talking about strange things on my blog. Its like really a part of me, you know? I put a piece of me, into this blog every post, and its here for everyone to read, but I don't really care. Because mostly, its for ME to read. Its for me to put down my thoughts in writing, and to know that even through all this stress and rush, there's still a person inside of me. 

HAHAHA LOL I think this is hilarious. My blog views have like spiked. All because I got a shoutout on Nicole's blog.. Sigh. But I guess popularity (lies, I'm totally not one of those 'pop rg girls') is just expected when you're Nicole Chua's best friend hahaha.

But yes, I feel so stressed now, because everyone was squealing about my last post, and I feel like this one has to match up to it somehow. Which it won't. I'm sorry, but my reflective moments are unfortunately rare. Anyway, I'm really glad that my parents have given you hope! Hahaha, they are really cute, and we should all strive for successful relationships like theirs' okay!

Haha, today was such an epic day I swear. Started off with my classmates fangirling over my parents (okay, thats a sentence I never thought I'd say) and all the prom drama. Hahahaha, I think its hilarious tbh. I mean, I dunno why everyone is making it into such a big deal, guys, its just an event!! I mean, yeah, we all really want to go and have fun, and it would totally suck if it gets downgraded to some shitty hotel (no amirah, not hotel 81) so we're just kinda pissed at all the crazy anti-prom people. I mean, I'm fine if you don't want to dress up, or can't afford it, or have an exam the next day, but if you're one of those people who LOUDLY proclaim that prom is lame, and high-five each other for your similar (asinine) thoughts on how prom is bimbotic and conformist or whatever, STOP IT. You are just being spiteful, and like ruining our night. Is it wrong to be actually excited for our prom, for the last event we're gonna have as a batch, with our classmates, before another species is introduced into our midst?

I mean, we're SORRYYYYY if we want to dress up like normal girls, and camwhore, and squeal and cry with our friends. I'm sorry if that makes us bimbo, and in some complete inane way affects you, but yeah, we can't help it. So stop labelling us and just trying to be spiteful and mean. You can hate us if you want. We know that we didn't do anything wrong la. Oh and if you want to comment on my friends' blogs, please at least have the guts to put our own name. We're all putting up our opinions on the internet, just the same as you are, but at least we're gutsy enough to do it without the veil of anonymity.

Okay, on a somewhat unrelated note, I have been told that I have a 'Mother Theresa Face'. HAHAHA what on earth man. Apparently its my saintly face right before I do something martyr-like. My friends are so random hahaha. Oh, and Shimei, Nicole and I had a long conversation about how we are super stressed for the future!! We all agreed that we need to get married by like 24-26 and have kids before 30. BUT WHAT IF WE CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A HOUSE? Or like pay for all the expenses that are bound to crop up! Everything is so expensive now, and its only going to get worse!! Stress ttm. But yeah, haha I think my biological clock is totally ticking. I'm so excited to have kids!! Yesyes, I know I don't even have my EOY results back yet, but no harm in being excited right!

And as worrying as it is, I've started to care less about my studies (I know, I didn't think it'd be possible either) As in, obviously I want to do well also la (HOW TO BUY HOUSEEEE) but I'm not so concerned about it now. I mean, seriously, how much is your EOY results gonna affect you in the long run? I know that academics are important and all, but there are so many more important things in life. That I'm learning, everyday. And these are seriously x876345387563560 more applicable to us. And will affect what kind of person we'll turn out to be. I mean, I highly doubt my future mother-in-law/boss-of-a-non-math-related-company will care that I failed my math/bio/chem/whatever.

Okay, I just saw this on Tumblr, and I'm just very.. !?! Idk, its just that this person makes it seem that its such a big deal that she "literally stops flirting with others" and it "just shows how much [she] really [likes] that person" and I'm sitting here like.. Whuuuut?

I mean of course la! Isn't it expected? If you really like someone, you'll only have eyes for that one person, you won't even CONSIDER flirting with anyone else, because in your mind, nobody else will ever match up to him/her. I mean, thats what liking someone feels like!! You won't even "somewhat flirt", because it'll feel like you're cheating, even though you're not technically with the person. When you like someone, you hand yourself over to that person, you belong to them. You can't imagine being with anyone else, you won't even entertain the thought. Hell, it won't even be an option.

Haha, okay, so most of you all of you should know that I adore Tom Felton. I mean, who wouldn't! He is a flawless human beingggggg :)))) He is cute, he is funny, he is nice, he is humble, he is pretty hot, he is cute, he is cute, he is cute. And seriously? He plays Draco Malfoy and thats enough for meeee (: Sigh, I love him so much!

Hm, so I haven't posted in a while.. Well, I went to watch Johnny English with Shimei, Amirah, Hengyeng and Stacy yesterday! Grabbed lunch first, at the Taka food hall, had thai food (: after that, the four of us had to walk to the cinema while it was raining like ashfjgjafhd. I didn't have an umbrella, so was sharing with Stacy (not that it helped). Basically we were all drenched by the time we walked into the theatre which meant that we were freezing ):

The movie was sooooo stupid hahahah. It was hilarious cause it was so stupid. Its one of those shows where the main character is soo dumb that you feel very frustrated (pink panther anyone?) But it was still fun cause Amirah, Shimei and I were just spasming in our seats and being loud hahaha. What's new right?

I didn't go to school today, cause of my back ): the doctor diagnosed it as a 'cervical strain'. Basically, my sleeping position/posture is bad, so my back is screwing up. ARGH, its really uncomfortable and irritating cause you just feel sore and achey all the time. AND I'm having terribleeeee cramps too. Put the two together, and death seems like a better option. Seriously, I was writhing in the car seat on the way home from the doctor. It's crazy.

Currently, I'm in bed, trying to watch Glee. The torrent isn't out yet >( so I'm watching online (too many spoilers on tumblr!!) and its taking sooooo long to buffer. Super annoying. But so far, the episode is okay la. I wouldn't say its phenomenal or anything, but its okay. It feels good to see all these familiar faces again ahaha. Oh and also, I think Kurt is better looking this season :O hahaha, I love the fact that we'll be seeing much more of Darren (: Klaine is the best part of the show, hands down. And I just love Darren Criss so much (: It makes me happy to see him in the choir room and all.

I think, for me, other than the obvious things like love, loyalty and all, one of the most important things in a relationship is effort. I feel really strongly about this. When I say relationships, I mean all relationships, not just romantic ones. Even in friendship and filial relationships. There has to be effort from both parties. I mean, no matter how much you love each other, there are bound to be problems and obstacles, and the most vital thing is that you don't give up on the rship just cause it gets hard. That means it isn't worth it anymore. It means that you don't give a damn about the person or your rship with them.

And its just so.. Sad when you're the only one putting in the effort you know? I've been in that position quite a number of times myself, so I can safely say that its a REALLY screwed feeling when you're the only one trying to make it work. Cause its just so futile and your self-esteem just kind of.. Swoops.

So yes, my point is, one of the things I look for most in a relationship is effort. Cause I think a relationship worth keeping is a relationship worth fighting for. And I guess, something I need to learn, is to know when to give up on something/someone. I hold on for way too long, and I care too much. I'm always the one taking the initiative, and frankly? I'm quite sick of it.

Anyway, Hengyeng's birthday was a blast yesterday! HAHAH we had so much fun dressing up, I was the president of the celibacy club, which is totally appropriate I swear.

I love themed parties, they are so much fun honestly. HAHA, I love Hengyeng, I hope she had a great day, she totally deserves it for being so awesome (: yay, I love my classmates! Actually, lovin' all my friends right now, except a couple. But these couple are just making me appreciate my real friends more, sooooo. All's good (:

I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN TODAY. OKAY I AM BLOGGING THIS IN THE HOPE THAT THERE ARE NO GUYS READING THIS (NICOLE CHUA STALKERS SKIP THIS PARA) AHHH I HATE BEING A GIRL SO MUCH. TODAY WAS TERRIBLE. MY CRAMPS WERE SO TERRIBLE THAT I WAS LIKE IN TEARS WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE. AND THIS TIME ITS SO TERRIBLE CAUSE EVERYTHING HURTSSSS. CURRENTLY, MY BACK IS KILLING ME. I THINK I PULLED A MUSCLE OR SOMETHING, I CAN BARELY TURN AROUND. I HATE BEING A GIRL SO MUCH ASDFGHJKL.

Okay, yesterday was like the best day ever. I love 406 so much! I love my friends!! Seriously, we were so noisy and annoying, and we were just running around to all the rides (literally) IT WAS ALL SO GREAT.

Okay, so basically I have only been to ONE theme park: Escape (well, I also went to Genting but it doesn't count cause my bro was sick and we only went to the snow place) yes, so yesterday was the first time I ever went on a rollercoaster!

In the words of Amirah: Arathi is not a rollercoaster virgin anymore. NO I AM NOT. In fact, considering we took the blue one twice, the red one twice, the mummy one thrice and the dragon one once, I HAD 8 ROLLERCOASTER RIDES! It was so awesome really! I was screaming my head off! The worst one was prolly the blue one, in Battlestar Galactica, but my favourite was THE MUMMY RIDE. It was so awesome! Like the music and the lighting (or lack thereof) it was all so awesome!

The waterworks show was so great too! Basically because it was so hot and it felt good to have a bucket of water dumped on you (although the water was totally gross, my arms felt slimy) then when we were exiting, we saw this water fountain thing. And we went and got soaked. It was so fun, cause the water was a lot cleaner, and it was FREEZING. So good (y) After we dried off, we went for the Monster Rock show, where we started singing songs like It's My Life, You Give Love A Bad Name and LOW (thats ma jam!) along with the cast! FUN. Oh, and how could I forget? Clara totally busted her moves with the obnoxious breakdance people! She was SO good! Like her bodywaves were da best out of everyone's.

We ate at MEL'S DINER, the food was quite good, and I just really loved the whole atmosphere (: It felt like I was in one of those 50's movies.

Oh, seriously, I love the whole atmosphere of USS! Its seriously like, you're in another world altogether. And Amirah and I were talking about it, like once we got out, we're leaving this carefree place behind. Like we're going to MRT land once more D: we can't sit n the middle of roads anymore (there are no cars) we can't run around like complete idiots. We can't bask in the theme park atmosphere! Nobody is going to break out into dance/song, we can't go for free shows and rollercoasters and all. SO we just decided to have the time of our lives. WE TOTALLY DID.

But the end was rather sad I'm afraid. I started to feel really sick and miserable. I think my body was really confused tbh. Its in the air one second, and falling the next. Scorched one second, and drenched the next (woah, this sounds like some poem) so anyway, I felt like shit D: so, I couldn't stay for the fireworks D: The journey home was THE LONGEST JOURNEY OF MY LIFE. There was this lady shoving me on the monorail, I WAS SO PISSED. Because I was having this terrible headache and feeling sick, and this women was just PUSHING me. I was THISSSS close to screaming at her and snapping her head off, but I didn't (caution: arathi is dangerous when sick) slept on the bus, and dragged myself home. Checked my temperature and got a mini heart attack (38.7 degrees) so I just texted my dad+friends and went to sleep.

My dad brought home food which he forced me to eat and was all 'I TOLD YOU NOT TO OVERDO IT' sigh. But I regret nothing. Yesterday was so much fun, and I'm so glad to have friends like you (:

Bio Paper today was such a failure hahaha. I was like totally blanking out during the exam. I knew the answers I diddddd (well, except for Q10 and the restriction map) but I was just like so stressed that everything was so muddled up in my head ): but oh well, this was the LAST bio paper I'm ever going to do. In my ENTIRE life. So I don't really care. Hope I pass la.

Studying very hard for Chem now, so that I won't have to count Bio. Sigh, completely no mood, but its just one more day, I have to push on! Then I'll have no more Sciences omgggg. Ah, Universal Studios on Friday with friends, and study date with Benita on Saturday.

As usual I linked it to the MASS MEDIA cause thats what I do every year. HAHA, talked about Glee and Lady Gaga and America's Next Top Model and Mean Girls. Hahaha, my essay was so bimbotic and stupid. But ohwell, as long as it isn't marked by AHEM I should be fine (: I even had time to read through my essay and correct grammatical errors! (y) okay, quite happy with English.

History ahh. Hm, okay la, I think I did fineeeee, hope I can get at least 14 for both! Just felt very sian towards the end of the paper though :O

Came home and crashed cause I was feeling very drowsy and weird (its the weather I swear!) Had a terrible nightmare about a pervy taxi driver. So scared now omg. I woke up with my heart pounding. I'm having the strangest dreams recently. All nightmares  actually.

Sigh, tomorrow is BIO which is like majorly stressful, I still have so much to mug for!! But I'm not going to be TOO stressed. Its my last Bio paper EVERR (ohman it feels good to say that) and I don't want to panic attack and die.

I'm not overly worried about my GPA anymore. I just want to do well so I won't hate myself. So okay guys, I have to go nowzzz, study Bio like some crazy person, will try to get sleep today!

Okay, EOY week has officially begun. My mantra for surviving this week is to 'STAYPOSITIVE'. Freaking out over exams has not helped me in past instances, hence I shall not do it anymore. I'll just study as much as I can, and do as well as I can. The only person I need to satisfy, is MYSELF. And as long as I know I have done my best, I will not let myself down. I don't want to be disappointed with my results because of my lackluster effort. If I do badly, I just want to accept that I am a stupid person, and move on. Being stupid is better than being a slacker anyway.

Lit exam was okayyy today. Shan't say anything more than that. I think I answered the questions okay, don't think it was 'senseless rambling and wild speculation'. Hopefully not anyway! Got back my English FA today, and I did well! Yay, it was a really welcome kind of thing, cause I need to assure myself that I'm not complete shit, I'm still moderately good at something (the something which is hopefully going to be my future) just hoping that I did my compre okayly and I'll do well tomorrow, so I can get a 3.6/4.0 so I can take ELL in JC (Yes, I've decided. MEEL)

Sigh. Worried about some of my friends. Guys, chin up alright? I know its a tough week, and its really testing us and making us feel inadequate, but you have to believe in yourself! Believe that you have prepared all that you can, if you haven't, stay up all night and do it. It doesn't matter if you burn your midnight oil, its really the lastlast lap. You owe it to yourself to do well guys. We have come so far, and its the last leap. Not even a leap, more like a hop. After this we'll only have Math (then it'll be your turn to reassure me) and MT, piece of cake!

STOP being pressurized by all the crazy RI notes going around. I know they're all a lot to take in, and you shouldn't stress yourself out! Use them if you think they help you, if not rely on your own notes!

Have faith in yourself, I do! Special shoutout to AMIRAH (YOU ARE AWESOME PLEASE BELIEVE ME. YOU'LL WORK WONDERS TOMORROW) To everyone else: We have worked hard, you have ALL worked hard, and its time to put our work to the test.

WHY IS BIO NEVER ENDING WHYWHYWHY. ITS LIKE I'M JUST READING AND WRITING AND READING AND WRITING AND THE FREAKING PPTS NEVER ENDDDDD. OMG PPT REMINDS ME OF CHEM. SHIT I'M SO UNPREPARED FOR CHEM. JUST KILL ME NOW OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I HATE SCIENCE 4EVA. BITCH. STUPID PAIN IN THE ASS. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING SO UNPREPARED I COULD CRY. 

Oh dear, I have so much Bio to do, you have no idea, but I'm so sleepy now D: its 2pm, I SHOULD NOT BE SLEEPY. But obviously, my body doesn't care what I think. Sigh. I cannot wait until exams are over so when I feel sleepy, I CAN SLEEP.

This is horrible, I have GMOs, pGLO (I don't even know what this is D:) and mutations to doooooo. Oh, and cloning too D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D:  D: D: D: D: D:

Hm, studied a lot today. Quite proud of myself, I was actually productive at home :O but omgomgomg damn hard to believe that EOYs are next week!!! D: D: D: D: D: I WANT TO DIE ALREADY FREAKINGFREAKING SCARED.

Sigh, on an unrelated note, went to the Borders book sale with my dad tonight, was so useless hahahaha. The books were all damn -.- seriously. BUTBUT I got one book! Which I am super excited about yay (:

ARGH trying my best to study but having hiccups -> my notes look all shaky cause I'm shaking with every 3 words D: D: D: I hate hiccups, and mine are bloody loud. And violent D:

Okay, I'm posting with Blogger's new interface, which is.. Disconcerting to say the least. I've been looking at the same interface for 6 years (woah) now, you can't just expect me to change! So yes, I'm switching back. Right after this post!

On an unrelated note, it irks me how people spell it as "Teacher's Day" rather than "Teachers' Day" (if you did not notice the difference, shame on you!) I mean its not ONE teacher's day right, its teachers in general! So the apostrophe (haha took me so many tries to get the spelling right) should come AFTER the 's'. Yes, pet peeve.

Anyway, Teachers' Day was very fun! Started off with ACES Day, which was superduper epic. Although Clara wasn't there (damnit!) Nicole Amirah and Shimei made a complete fool out of themselves, which amused me to no end (y) After ACES, we headed down to the Amphi for the show! There was like this super awkward silence as we were waiting for the teachers, and the emcees were having a difficult time, so Nicole and I (very kindly) volunteered Chanel and Amirah to go o the front and RAP! It was so good guys, seriously! I swear Amirah tries SO hard to be a black girl xD

Anyway, yes, I've been getting JUDGED for my Slytherpuff post. SIGH guys, you just don't understand okay! MY IDENTITY IS BEING QUESTIONED HERE. But hahaha, I love being in Hufflepuff though, its hilarious. I think Slytherin is crazy cool, and I wish I was in it, but I guess its just like Amirah wishing she was black, fruitless. SIGH. So yes, I'll just have to settle for a Slytherin bad boy then! :D

After the show, went back to meet my primary school friends, hung out at S's house and watched Ju-On 2 which wasn't THAT scary, but I still screamed in the end xD thats only cause B grabbed my hand, I swear. Headed out to Fairfield after that, met some of my teachers. I swear it feels like I'm becoming more and more of an outsider back in Fairfield cause so many people I know aren't there anymore! D: Haha, the best part of the day was slacking at the covered-play-area and reminiscing about our primary school days with Benita, Divya, Nisha and Yvonne. We do it every year, and we enjoy it every year (y)

On Friday, went to Mira's house for HARI RAYA! Omg, was super fun. And I need to say this. AMIRAH'S HOUSE IS GORGEOUS. Seriously, so cool and awesome and bigggg. I swear, next to her house and Claire's house, my house is seriously damn lame -.- anyway, when we walked in, we saw like all these baju kurungs spread out on the sofas, and amirah said that her mum had bought them for us! :O :O :O :O it was so cool!! I felt like we were in some reality show when we went straight to the rooms to get changed!

After that, we ate and watched Glee Project (AHHH I LOVE DAMIEN) (BUT CAMERON IS NOT CUTE PLEASE) which was damn fun because of everyone's reactions xD started watching Chasing Liberty, but didn't have time to finish it damnit, but seriously, if you haven't watched it, STOP BEING LAME AND WATCH IT.

After we left Mira's house, Nicole, Stacy and I went to KINOKUNIYA. Which is awesome in itself, because its a bookshop (duh) Nicole didn't get what she was looking for, but it just reminded me how much I miss reading!!!! I really want to part time in Kino ahhhh. HAHA, anyway, went to Candylicious after that (I hate you Stacy) which was horrible cause I bought Reeses'. Sigh, in my defense, I only ate one of the wafers, gave the other one away. NICOLE AND I ARE SUCH SUCKERS SERIOUSLY. Headed out to school after that for Heartbeat (the YFC concert) the show was pretty good, made friends from UWC hahaha. OH, and I found out that Alpha (my kindergarten/primary one friend) was GREEK. Exciting much?

Oh, on the downside, someone I know lost someone close to them. I'm really sorry, I know how much he meant to you. I can only guess how terrible you must feel, but I hope you're coping well! Take careeee.

Okay, today I got judged in school by my horrible classmates. I'm just being melodramatic, Nicole was just judging me for not studying D: asdfghjkl.

Oh, haha today was the last full day of lessons! Its like almost impossible to believe! Have survived this hellish place for threepointsomething years (I'M NOT GOOD AT MATH OKAY) and soon.. It'll all be over :O idk how to feel tbh. I'm happy for a change, and that I don't have anymore PTs and AAs and CBAs and PPAs and whatever else, but at the same time, I don't want to leave the safety of RGS, the outside world scares me..

Anyway, after school, headed out to Harbourfront! To get my receipt from Infinity (They were very nice btw! All of you! Buy Mac stuff from Infinity!!!) And I just felt so happy (:

Cause Harbourfront is totally my favorite mall. Its like Harbourfront is my favorite, closely followed by Vivo. I honestly dunno why I like it, cause there aren't many shops and its quite lame compared to VIVO next door, but I guess I've been going there since primary school (my dad used to work in the offices upstairs) And I just really like the open-ness and airiness and lightedness of it!! Its like JE library. Then again, maybe its just me..

And as for Vivo, haha most of you already know. I spent half my life there I swear. So bloody familiar with it! Cause my brother adores the place, and buys like 93.5675347635% of his clothes from there, so I get dragged along quite often. So yes. Obviously I'm familiar with the place. Always watching movies there. Oh and Keppel Club is right next door, so sometimes I just head on to Vivo after chillin' (okay, I'm lying. I do not chill in the club. My brother drags me there. The most I do is bowl)

ANYWAY, was supposed to head on to Funan after that, but I was too tempted to catch my long bus ride home! Have a straight bus, and I just adore long bus rides! Esp if I'm alone (: so yeah, just went home!

Have to go Funan sometime tmr D: maybe after going to Fairfield or something.. Hm, maybe I can even drag someone along! That's a thought...

Alright, going to go and study now (YES NICOLE I AM STUDYING OKAY) 

Haha so yes, I deleted the post on 90's shows cause my blog was loading at a glacial pace. So for those who managed to catch it and busk in the nostalgia, good for you! For those of you who didn't.. Sorry la.

Okay, Im a total mess right now. Major nostalgia. Like it all started with the TV shows (as you can see from the spam below) and then it led to myscene.com. then it led to disney.go and now I'm itching to play pinball on some old windows com.

I don't want to grow up ohman. I just want to sit around and watch INSANELY AWESOME tv shows, and play myscene.com and waste my time.

Well, today's exams hm. HAHA epic fail. Tamil katturai was like.. LOL. My hand was totally cramping up by the end, I cannot handle 2 hours of continuous writing D: could barely grip the pen towards the end, have no idea if Aasiriyai can read my last sentence xD

LOL, found out that when LavaK called yesterday (I was sleeping) I picked up the phone and called her mad :D :D :D Sorry Lava, completely unintentional! You know how I spout nonsense when I'm half asleep xD

Speaking of sleep, my sleep cycle has been SO screwed recently. Have been sleeping at 10 and waking up at 1/2/3am to do work. Quite productive actually, once I manage to drag myself out of bed. I'm pretty lucid after brushing my teeth and having a glass of milk. And the house is quiet and conducive in the middle of the night so yay (y) although I'm prettyyyy sure that its not good for me D: ohwell, its only for a few more weeks (omg!)

Omg, I'm gonna have a panic attack just thinking about it nuuuuu. So scared, no words man. I really have to do well for this. My MYA marks were all shit. It was crap. Like comical 'omg what kind of shit mark is this?' kind of screwup. And I NEED to do well for this round of exams, because that's the only way I can maintain my GPA! Which isn't even that high to start with D:

But ah, I'm less stressed now than before, because I was bing really hard on myself. I guess there are some things which you are just no good at, and you have to accept that. I am really trying for my Sciences, just that it isn't working out. All I can do, is to work my ass off, study as hard as I can, so that even if my grades are shit in the end, I can just blame it on genes.

Ah well. Oh, on my way back home, in the cab, I called Nikki!! After an incrediblyyy long time! I'm sososo thankful that I called her, was so great to hear her again. I love the way she sounds exactly the same, and its just like how it was before we went to secondary school. I guess thats the thing about best friends, you may not always feel like you're best friends, but no matter what, when you get back together, you'll feel like you never left <3

I miss her so much, its crazy. I remember when my inbox was always just floooooded with messages from her, and she emailed me so much when I was down with chickenpox, and all our fangirling sessions over Draco Malfoy.

Hahaha, I still get a very distinctive NIKKI feeling when I listen to 'When It Rains' which is one of my favourite songs ever btw (: HAHA and my head always whips around when I smell the citrusy Herbal Essence shampoo xD

This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was greatly in vogue in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime. The reasons for these wands’ desirability lay not only in their unusually handsome appearance, but also because they had a reputation for performing best for Seers and those skilled in Legilimency, mysterious arts both, which consequently gave the possessor of a silver lime wand considerable status. When demand was at its height, wandmaker Arturo Cephalopos claimed that the association between silver lime and clairvoyance was ‘a falsehood circulated by merchants like Gerbold Ollivander (my own grandfather), who have overstocked their workshops with silver lime and hope to shift their surplus.’ But Cephalopos was a slipshod wandmaker and an ignoramus, and nobody, Seer or not, was surprised when he went out of business.

This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike. Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
