the Joy in Life


Sad.

This is very sad.

How I never seem to be able to keep my blogs alive. Well now that there's twitter and facebook, people don't blog much. (Not that I use either of those that much :P)

You know what, we should go back to the times where writing was in fashion. Seriously, writing letters are totally awesome. HAVE YOU EVER SENT A LETTER THROUGH THE MAILBOX. Omg you know not of the awesomeness of snail mail.

Seriously, it wouldn't take that long, cause Singapore's not that huge. You probably will receive the letter like within the day itself or the next day. And it's so much more sincere than emails. Now you can practically e-anything. YOU CAN EVEN POKE PEOPLE. Which is way weird. I mean where's the awesomness in THAT? ._.

So anyway, WRITE MORE, send christmas cards or sth, I RECOMMEND IT.

Now I'm off to do my seriously overdue R&R. Off to camp tmr and I'm no where near considered 'started'. Crabsticks.

CHEERS! (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME! :D

Haha, I can't believe my birthday's finally here. So I'm taking a break from studying to post my thanks to everyone who has made this year's Birthday for me so special and awesome! (Or I should say sick!) Haha.

1. SHAN & ROZZ from 98.7 came to our school for a talk. THAT WAS SO COOL AND AWESOME. I'm probably their biggest fan in the sense that I tune in to them whenever I can and I've tuned in to all the other shows as well. Its so cool listening to their voices on the radio everyday and actually hearing their voices in our auditorium. THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME. (I know I shldn't be surprised but I am!) And I've never seen their faces either. Their voices match their faces though. It was really cool. THEY ARE  CRAZY TALL! The songs they chose really were completely idiot proof. Wish I went up to the mic, I thought only one person could. SO KNEW THAT GRACE  WOULD SAY BOOM BOOM POW :D Wish I went up to ask my questions too. Like "HOW TALL ARE YOU GUYS  MAN?!" and "WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE ON  AIR AND YOU SERIOUSLY  SERIOUSLY NEED THE  BATHROOM?" I've always wondered what actors/ media people do when they need the loo.

2. THE AWESOME PRESENTS I GOT SO FAR!!! :D Haiyun made a TEAM JACOB shirt for me! ISN'T THAT  COOL!?  :D I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Thanks Yun! I've been staring at all the Team Jacob stuff for ages on the twilight guide! Haha! There are very few nice ones. And she wrote it out herself! SO COOL.

And then GRACE and MUN came to surprise me during recess. I can't believe they managed to sneak up on me! I nearly got a heart attack! :D Their presents were totally awesome too! They gave me a NEW  MOON POSTER! And I've been wanting it so badly for so long! So sick of the stupid twilight poster in my room that used to fall in my sleep! Its like a life-size R-Patz and K-Stew, and NO  TAYLOR LAUTNER! And now I have it :D Then they got me the WOLVERINE ORIGINS DVD. How did they know I LOVE HUGH  JACKMAN!? Haha and WOLVERINE TOO OF COURSE :D And last of all, stamped their present with their trademark star wars craze, a letter in AUREBESH. In case you don't know what that is, just imagine lots of weird symbols, that's exactly how it looks like to normal people! I managed to decode it anyway. They were so retarded. Writing 'I BET YOU CANT READ THIS' in AUREBESH all over the place!

3. And of course my parents have been totally awesome too! I finally have my own com! And lots of other stuff too that they keep saying 'SO THAT'S YOUR BDAY PRESENT  ARH'. They probably forgot how many times they said that! :D And not only do I have a really cool WHITE  NETBOOK, I'm gonna go watch STOMP at the ESPLANADE on FRIDAY! Isn't that totally cool and awesome?! THE REAL STOMP!

Oh and I also got that super nice strawberry shortcake that Claudia got for our team birthday celebration! HAHA :D I bet you guys are so jealous! Don't worry though, I shall bring a slice tmr maybe so you can all have a bite of it :D I'm so growing fat btw. Which is why I will be running everyday after EOYs. LOOK OUT  FOR ME SUNSET WAY :D

4. Oh and I must thank everyone for remembering my birthday! THANKS FOR ALL THE WISHES AND  HUGS! :D JOJO, the very first one who wished me Happy Birthday at 12.30 am! CHINGYEE who greeted me with that when I walked into class. CHERIE and HANNAH for coming to see me in the morning! It was great catching up and gossiping about CHRISTIE :D  My CRAZY  JUNIORS who wished me Happy Birthday a million times! PANDA who came to my class specially, great chatting with you as always! CLAUDIA, NATALIE, and HUIZHEN for the SMS and HUGs. 306 PEOPLE who wished me Happy Birthday too! Haha. ELENA for the hug. CHRISTIE and CHELSEA who (almost) forgot my birthday! JANICE for the most serious birthday wish :D LITING, GERALDINE, PEINING, VANIA for the Birthday wishes, RACHEL who just sms-ed me. Wow. I hope I didn't miss out anybody :D Well anyway THANKS EVERYONE FOR MAKING  MY BIRTHDAY  SO AWESOME! IF I MISSED YOU OUT IN MY  CONFUSINGLY LONG THANKYOU SPEECH, I HAVE A  CONDITION CALLED SHORT-TERM-MEMORY-LOSS, VERY SERIOUS, YOU STILL MEAN  EQUALLY AS MUCH TO ME AND I LOVE YOU GUYS :D:D:D:D:D

Wish I could slack and watch Wolverine Origins again but unfortunately, I HAVE TO STUDY BIO D: SO  GOODNIGHT  IN ADVANCE. Once again, THANK YOU EVERYBODY  FOR THE AWESOME  BIRTHDAY! Actually remembering it despite all this crazy EOY  MADNESS really made my day!  :D LOVE YOU GUYS!

CHEERS! :D
 

Oh man!
Yawn
[info]yellowmnms
Hello! I'm currently taking a short break from studying.

You have no idea how depressing it is to be studying IH. (Well maybe you do know if you're studying it as well) There's so much to cover, so little time, and it only has a 0.5 weightage! But it's not like you can just not study. Grrr! I'm currently doing Jap Identity, which probably won't be that important. And even though it's one of the shortest topics, it's 11.30 and I'M NOT DONE. DEPRESSING! D:

I'm so tired and my back hurts D: There's still training tmr! Since Bones and Ghost Whisperer ended on Star World, and I've given up waiting for the VMAs to show up on youtube, I'm gonna ban myself from all things entertainment. Other than some special ocassions and only during breaks/ meals. I'm gonna mug like crazy especially when it hits the weekends. My last chance to get into the extreme mugger mode.

We watched a movie for today's CC4 session. And we learned that when your body is under a lot of mental stress/ shock you can actually go blind overnight! It happened to a student before. I told Christie and now she's afraid that she might one day wake up and realise she's blind! DON'T WORRY CHRISTIE, first of all it's most probably curable, and anyway you sleep at 12 so it's okay.

Right, now I'm gonna go to the loo, drink some water (ironic huh) and continue my endless typing D:

CHEERS!

Panic Attack!
OMG
[info]yellowmnms
I'm having a Panic Attack! D:

Oh man. I kind of feel like I've wasted my holidays away! D: Tomorrow is Friday! (Or rather today!) And I still have the LA Presentation and Chinese Essays to finish for my holiday homework. Then I still have to prepare for Chapter Exam 9 and Bio quiz. And I probably should do the Bio As too. D: Oh man D: By hook or by crook I have to get it done by tomorrow. I don't care if I won't get to sleep D:

My weekends will be used solely to mug IH. There's so much to remember D: I just dread having to start! And worst still, I don't even think I'll be able to remember everything! I'll just memorise a topic and forget the previous D: 

EOYs are just depressing. I wonder how people actually get through all this! I'm quite sure i've never felt like I was going to fail every single subject! D: And this is the year where you have to do super well. (Well actually that's every year!) Since its the most depressing year of my secondary school life.

And it's just going to get worse and worse and worse! I wonder when I'll ever get a break from all this brain-frying stuff. This is the time where you just wished you had a photographic memory. Can you imagine how much easier this would be? I just have to read through all my notes and textbooks and I'd remember every single bit. I seriously don't mind spending all day reading up on all these if it meant I could actually absorb enough to even pass the EOYs D: 

Oh well, I shall work on my presentation script now. Guess it'll make me feel slightly better doing something more before I sleep. D: Oh well.

CHEERS!


Done!
Russell
[info]yellowmnms
We're finally done!

We're finally done with our LA HERstory project! Haha! And I'm pretty proud of it! I spent like my entire morning-afternoon designing the layout! I know the presentation doesn't count at all. But a pretty thing is always a good impression. It shows effort right? Plus I'm OCD about presentation. There was no way I'd hand it in black and white. Not after we spent so much effort doing the content part. Overall I think it's pretty well done. Hopefully, so will my teacher :D We actually did it completely wrong at first and then we had to redo the entire thing. Which was quite disastrous. Seeing as we spent so much effort the first time. So I really hope our efforts paid off.

I must thank my group members of course. Everyone for contributing excellent ideas. Haiyun especially for the Harry Potter Info, Eleanor for working so fast even at last minute notice and for always contributing to ideas, and Christie for doing all the technical stuff. THANK YOU! (:

I just realised that my family is OCD about something. My mum is a 100% OCD at like everything you do. My Dad is only OCD when it comes to precision of making stuff or sth (cutting, pasting, drawing all that sorts), I guess cause he's an architect. And I'm OCD about end products of my work, especially presentation. My bro? I have yet to find out. (:

Well hopefully tomorrow will be more progressive. I need to finish my work so I can dedicate the rest of my time to studying IH. I'm really worried for that. Everything else as well. And especially Chinese. These two are the ones I'm failing D: And I really want to do well for my end of years, since I haven't been doing very well throughout the year. Ordinary results, not what they expect from a MST student D: I wish I could get the better side of being put under pressure or having extremely high expectations dumped on you. I just need to find that drive and motivation, enough of that so that I'll actually produce good results. You can't just work hard and do your best and all that (like everyone says), you really have to produce results. Sometimes I wonder whether that kind of advice is actually helpful, I'm sure everyone knows they have to work hard and do their best and everything. If only there were a step by step instruction manual to help you produce good results, become successful. If only it were that easy to even follow those instructions. Maybe you'd spend so much time reading the manual you don't have time left to follow the instructions :P Anyway, most people don't bother reading instruction manuals in the first place!

Well life's like that. It's a curvy, narrow,  upside down inside out, goes north south east and west kind of path. Not a nice broad and straight kind of path. The kind where even the clutziest of people can go through safe and sound without difficulty. And I'm talking about people who can't walk across a perfectly level platform without tripping over their feet, or finding something else to trip over.

Wow. Guess its true that girls have terrible mood swings. Though I think it's safe to say I've never PMS-ed before. (As far as I know) Its amazing how it starts with me feeling all accomplished and happy but not now kind of drained.

Oh well. I must think happy thoughts! Nothing works if it doesn't feel right to you. That's the best kind of motivation you can get I think. And it all comes from you.

Went for a YOG briefing today, and as expected it lasted longer than an hour. One disadvantage about SPs, we are extremely rowdy :D In a good and bad way. So its like we're almost never silent. We just keep making jokes and all that :D They''re all really fun people, I'm really glad and thankful I got into this. It's nice being a part of something big. Even if the sport I'm hosting isn't the most popular one. Chels, Vicky, Sanjeev and I kept volunteering each other for the performance during the meet-the-media session. It's hilarious being with them. Amazing how they can tease, quarrel and say all sorts of funny things non-stop. They kept drawing attention to me! With all the pointing and SHE CAN DO IT and the whole calling my full name thing (Thanks alot Vick!) They almost got me into cheerleading and dancing. I've never even had any professional training! And I seriously can't dance. I probably could act like a cheerleader with my Bimbo-acting degree, but obviously I don't have the technicality to do a good job. Oh well, if they seriously need help I guess I could do some choreography for them, since I watch so much of it. But I'm sure they'll do find. they're all professionals anyway. Chelsea and I almost wanted to do the Nobody dance with that Wonderguy! HAHAHA (: And I'm gonna have to be a mascot! D: Cause the rest of my team members are too short, other than Sanjeev of course. The only good thing I can think of is getting to meet famous athletes and acting crazy, but seriously, the cons outweigh the pros by alot! Oh well.

Hmm, feeling kind of hungry now. It's all because of that stupid gastric thing! D: Oh well.

Looking forward to tomorrow's IH lesson? Haha at least it'll finally start my brain up! I MUST REMEMBER MY SKIPPINGROPE. Usually when I write down these kind of things or I ask someone to remind me, I actually do remember! Reverse Psychology (:

CHEERS!

WOW
OMG
[info]yellowmnms
Yes, yes, yes!

I think I really wow myself with this technodumbalism thing! I finally realised that there were different categories for templates and I was only looking at one! LOL. This was the nicest I've found so far, but all my userpics disappeared from the posts D: Dang Flabbit! I must find a way to add my own finishing touches, if that is even possible D:

CHEERS!

Hello!

I just realised that my LJ page is pretty ironic, since its all red but its called YELLOWmnms not REDmnms. Haha (: Well this was the nicest template they offered me!

I am terrible at this anyway, or rather terrible at all things techno. You see, I was diagnosed with this disease called technodumbalism, like a few years back. Basically, I'm technically-impaired. Yup, a very sad thing but, anyway I'm managing. I can give you really really good examples.

A) I have no idea how to use anything on LJ except posting. In my defense, this is all new to me, and you know about my illness
B) I got tagged to do this note thing by Grace, and I have no idea where my notes are! (its for facebook) Despite the step by step instruction given by my friends. In my defense, even grace thought my page was weird, since it didn't have everything needed to do that notes thing.

But anyway, I've given up on that, for now at least.

I just remembered a Wizards of Waverly Place episode where Max faked this illness (NOT THAT I'M FAKING MINE! I DO ACTUALLY HAVE TECHNODUMBALISM), where he couldn't see all things orange. Lol. And then some celebs like Dwayne Johnson and this Missy person (I have no idea who she is) heard about it and came to find him to cheer him up. Maybe if Taylor Lautner sees this he'll come and see me! HAHAHAHAHA (: In my dreams.

Yes, yes. I know it is shocking, but I'm not in love with Edward Cullen like most of the girls on this planet are. I'm completely and totally 100% TEAM JACOB. (GASPS) Accept the fact and leave it. PLUS Claudia thinks Taylor Lautner is way cuter than Robbert Pattinson! HAHAHA (: I still think it would be extremely funny if Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift became a couple! Haha, TaylorSquare. It would be really cute (Maybe?) but extremely weird at the same time. Imagine having the same name as your boyfriend! That would be hilarious. Oh and did I mention? I'm actually a TaylorSquare fan! Not as "them being a couple" but more of "I so happen to like them both". I mean Taylor Swift is really really pretty! And her music is what I call "feel-good music" , and easy to sing along. Plus I guess they're both more teeny. (Teenage-y Taylor Lautner is 17! He's younger than my brother! Taylor Swift sings teeny songs) So we relate better? Anyhoo, we'll see how it all plays out in the movie "Valentine's Day" where Taylor and Taylor play love interest! PLUS, MCSTEAMY AND MCDREAMY ARE IN IT TOO! So Grey's Anatomy fans, be sure to catch it! There are a whole lot of other stars too, but either I can't remember or I don't know them.

Speaking of Taylor Swift I wonder if all her songs are based on real life experiences. If they are, she has a really sad life. Cause her music is either about an awesome guy or an awesome guy who broke her heart. But she seems relatively happy I guess. Anyway, we shouldn't pry! (SHOO!)

I feel bad cause I haven't really started studying. I'm gonna follow XiaoEn's advice and allow myself to panic for five minutes before getting on with my work. XiaoEn played Babarella during the TDP, I can't wait to bump into her so i get to tease her for that. I'll mimic her and call myself "Mozzarella" ! :D

Today's my parents' anniversary so we're going out for dinner again. I'm gonna grow fat D: Went running this morning though. Wanted to skiprope too, unfortunately my skiprope blended in with the wall and I forgot to pack it D: Oh well, next training then.

I MUST AIM TO FINISH AS MUCH WORK AS POSSIBLE AND START ON MY IH STUDYING! GO YELLOWMNMS!

CHEERS!

Finally!

[info]yellowmnms
I'M GETTING CONTACTS! Like finally! (:

Before I get to that part though,
I must mention the slow-pitch softball carnival I went to yesterday! (:

It was pretty fun, considering the fact that all I did was run. You see, in case you don't already know, my entire family plays softball, except me of course. So every year they have this slow-pitch carnival for anyone to join. (as long as you have a team of course) So my parents are part of this team called Sunrays, that consists of ex-softball players. And they're mostly old people! Like 30+ to 50+? I think the age average is like 45? But that's because my brother brings down age average! Haha! They're pretty good you know, which is really amazing. The only problem is, because they're so old, they can't run bases! Which is quite funny, so they get runners, myself and Crystal (the Captain's daughter) to run for them! (: It's my first time, and its actually pretty fun. Crystal's done it for 3 years already. We won one match and lost one as well. There're two more matches this sat to determine whether we're in the finals. But I have NYAA! D: So I'm hoping I can arrange sth with Claudia so I can go. We even have a jersey you know! Pretty cool huh! But somehow I think the guy printed it wrongly, cause the name doesn't spell sunrays, it looks more like either "Sunrage" or "Sunrags" or "Sausage" :D

They had to play in the rain mostly, because it was pouring like mad yesterday! So the matches got pushed back and we ended at 4.30! D: Plus everyone got super dirty cause it was extremely muddy! D: Thankfully though, it was only drizzling during the matches :D My brother's school team is actually in the carnival as well. We're playing them next week. And my brother was being teased about where his loyalties would lie (: Overall really fun, the match against the La Za Bos (LZB) was quite unfair though, since it was made up of ex-national team players and even current national team players. They should have played competitive instead of intermediate. But we're all pretty happy still, its all about having fun anyway. (:

Went to Auntie Carol's house for dinner. Great food as usual. And we watched Camp Rock and Princess Protection Programme, it was on disney. I watched it before, but anyway, since I'm on a disney movie roll. Whcih reminds me, the Hannah Montana movie was pretty good (: Really funny parts here and there. And Lucas Till is really cute. He's like a blond Zac Efron! :D (Not that i fancy Zac Efron though) But his (Lucas's) voice completely does not match his face, my mouth fell open when I heard him talk! Haha! Taylor switch and Rascal Flatts got a cameo too! Which was pretty cool (:

Now to the contacts thing! yes I'm getting contacts! Haha like finally. I told my parents I need it for YOG, so i'm getting it! Unfortunately, my curvation of my cornea is extremely steep/small. D: So I have to custom make my contact lenses D: Plus they're gonna be permanent ones (Meaning "yearlys") cause the smallest one they have for monthlys aren't small enough D: So I'm gonna need to take really good care of my lense D: But oh well, like Claudia said, "That's the price you've got to pay for vanity!" NOT THAT I'M VAIN! It's more for convenience actually, I'll be able to wear it in gym too. It'd be nice to finally be able to see! Plus its a chore to wear specs after wearing make-up, not that I've tried but its already a chore to wear make-up and a chore to wear specs so put them both together and you just have this ultra huge chore. (:

Well the weekends were my holidays, so now that its Monday its time to start work! I hope to finish as much homework as I can today, and plan out my study schedule for my remaining 3 weeks of studying D: Thinking about EOYS just about freaks me out D: And Christie's all like "But its only in 3 weeks!", smarty skirt that girl is! Haha.

CHEERS (:
 


POPCORN
Yellowmnms
[info]yellowmnms
I MENDED A POPCORN MACHINE! (:

Hello. Went to the Salvation army for NYAA this afternoon as usual. And it was their 7th Anniversary. So they had quite a lot of cool stuff going on (: Which Claudia and I helped out with.

First of alI, I must express how annoying it is to take bus alone. I can't see the bus numbers! D: And I swear the trees at my house are out to annoy me! And since I don't have the best of eyesight, I can't see round them D: Anyway, it took forever for my bus to come as usual, and the traffic near KAP is extremely slow (It took like 5 minutes or longer to get to the PeiHwa bus stop from right-next-to-it!) So I was late, by 15 min D: And Claudia for once was early! Cause her mum fetched her there!

So anyway, I was stationed at the kids corner, trading coupons for candy floss, lollipops and popcorn. Which is kinda sad, I mean with all the candy floss and candy and popcorn, why on earth would I want coupons right? Anyway, it was pretty slack work, PLUS I got to watch Ice Age 3 and Wall-e! Cause they were having a movie screening there (: Sadly I only caught glimpses since I was working as well. But still it was nice (:

Well after we finished everything, (And we got lots of free stuff too! (:) we went around looking at the salvation army items. It's got quite a range of stuff I must say. We were looking through all the dresses and almost (almost!) went and try them on in the fitting room for fun! :D They have really really funny looking dresses there. Like fairytale dresses! You know those kinds that are rented to little kids for parties or photoshoots? Just enlarged to adult size (: Seriously. Except you probably won't get like the wigs and jewels and wands and things (:

Overall it was pretty fun but tiring. (I stood for a very very long time) But the worst thing that happened was that I got burned by the popcorn oil! D: Now there's this disgusting thing on my hand D: It started out as like this small patch of stretchy skin (Like when you pull a plastic bag) and then it bloated up into this weird thing. (Apparently something to do with white blood cells crowding or sth) It looks like a bubble except its harder and unburstible and gross-coloured (urgh!) And the worst thing is I can't do anything about it! D:

Oh well, I'm disappointed that they didn't show the Hannah Montana Movie since they had it there. SO! I'm off to watch it on my bro's com. Apparently he downloaded it and watched it already. I swear my brother has an inner girly side.

CHEERS!
