Man, this has been going on for so long, and I can't take it anymore. I'm trying my very best to forget about it. Sigh, how long will this go on?

On the surface, I hope I'm still the same, but I'm so depressed. Right now the only thing i look forward to is PY prac every week, where i hope playing the music will cheer me up somehow. And so I can't wait for this sunday to arrive.

On a lighter note, I'm addicted to hana kimi! Lol. I'm typing this while waiting for YouTube to load (again). I like jing xiu yi! He's so cute! ahaha. and quan looks like some guy from anime. o.o Damn, i want the season to hurry finish, so i can concentrate on other stuff, cos until then, i can't stop watching!

Time after time

If you're lost you can look,and you will find me

Hi! I realised that Hana Kimi is really not bad. lol. Just that I need subs if not I can't watch. So I'm writing this while waiting for the Hana Kimi on YouTube to load. :D

Time after time

I wanna try Zonda reeds! & i want a new mouthpiece and ligature, so I shall start saving!

Allowance: $30/week.
Maintainance spending: $5 for coffee & $5 for others.
=> Remainder: $20.

1 box of Zonda reeds: $14?
Mouthpiece: $125
Ligature: about $100?
Total: $239

So it will take me about 3 months to save up that much. and its three months of INTENSE SAVING. No taking taxis, claim everything else from parents etc. OH MAN.

NVM MAR, ITS ALL WORTH IT.

And I think I shall start today. (OH NO WHAT ABOUT THE CONCERT! :( I hope my dad pays for it. ) Anyway, JIA YOU MAR!

If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Today we had financial literacy workshop part I. We learnt about the stock market, and then we played this game which required us to handle our "money" for 10 "years" by buying stocks, property, and the like. I liked it, but it was pretty boring. :( The trainer kept droning on and on and on.... For the first half I fell asleep tons and tons and tons of times. Then during break I ate my first meepok of the year from the canteen! And it was horrible :( I wish the old uncle was still around... Oh and I drank a packet of milo. Seriously milo DOES NOT GO WITH MEEPOK. I felt so horrible after that. During the 2nd half of the workshop I spent the whole time talking to Jacq about games and ATK and whatever else. I wasn't really listening but I was following what the trainer was referring to from the book and it was quite interesting. Though I doubt I'd ever do things like that in real life.

I came home after the workshop. I was supposed to go for CIP but due to the fact that I "suddenly came down with a TERRIBLE HEADACHE", I had to go home and rest. :) I already have 100+ hours anyway. So yea, I was talking to my mum, and she brought the "JC" subject up. I told her I was fixed on going to SAJC, but she refused.

"NO! I want you to go to TJC!"

"ARE YOU INSANE! Its so far away!"

"I want to move to the east anyway so it won't be far away"

"But I don't WANT to go to TJC!"

"Why?"

"Because I want to join SAJC BAND!!!!!!!"

"Why can't you join TJC band?"

"... I joined PY so i'll at least have a chance to get in through DSA!"

"Ok! you get in through DSA! and then once they accept you, you can reject it! You get your wish already what. You got in!"

"(thinking: WTF!?) ... THEN WHATS THE POINT OF APPLYING?"

"I told you I want you to go to TJC. Why do you want to go to SAJC?"

"Because I want to join the BAND!"

"What else besides that? I'm not going to let you go if you don't sell me the idea"

"Fine, if you don't let me go, I'll just not study and get just enough points to get in."

"Ok, don't study. Its your choice what. If thats how you want to plan for your future, go ahead. Its up to you."

(thinking: IF EVERYTHING IS UP TO ME WHY CANT IT BE UP TO ME TO GO TO SAJC?! NOW WHY IS THAT UP TO YOU? =.=)

So then i shut up, no point arguing. She'll just call me rude and give me a lecture on some crap that I probably don't want to hear.

Time after time

Yea, so I finished up my lunch after that and fell asleep smsing. Woke up at around 6. =/ Practised my clarinet until 7.30pm (including 5 mins for dinner in between) I still have another half an hour to go if I want to complete my 2 hours today, but its kinda late.. K but I still have to solve that stupid part of P&P that I cant play.. Sigh.

Today was a really boring day.

BOO.

I spent the whole day stoning in class and thinking about the PY pieces that we're playing. Because lessons are boring. And our songs are so nice. and hard to play. So the whole day I was looking forward to coming back home and practising. Taking a break now. I still can't tongue properly la =.= Always got the disgusting sound.. not clean.. How do you make it clean... I get so fed-up whenever I can't do things like this. :( :(

OH.
This afternoon I went to orchard Popular to buy some stuff, so I took 171 after school and stopped outside Tangs. Then from Tangs I took the underpass. When I reached the orchard mrt, this guy came up to me to ask for donations (the kind where they make u listen to them for a looong time then ask you to donate). I don't really like entertaining this kinda people cos usually after they finish talking all their crap I find it hard to refuse. Its kinda 'paiseh'. =/ Anyway, I told that guy I was in a rush, so he went,"Oh ok. Nvm thanks." Then here comes the best part. He turns around slowly to face his 2 friends and shout, "KANINA!!" In that irritated, but sort of desperate manner. I wanted to laugh. But decided not to. So went up to Popular, bought stuff, and came down to take MRT. Then, guess what! He approached me again.(Prolly couldn't recognise me)He asked me again to listen to him and I told him that I was in a hurry. "Wah basket. oops. I mean nvm thanks" LOL. That time I DID laugh out loud. Sry, I know I'm being evil but that guy's reactions are super funny. I bet he's been rejected all day or something. Lol. Poor guy.

K, nothing else to say.

EXCEPT... GO HERE! The Impossible Quiz from Newgrounds.com. SUPER DUPER FUN. :D

The best time of my life.

Hey.

& today is the 26th of feb.
I went to watch epic movie, and OMG did it suck. The plot was immensely lame. =.=

On the 25th of feb, however, there was PY prac! And it was so fun. We played Poet and Peasant Overture and English Folk Song Suite. Nicest songs on earth! But also one of the hardest I've ever played. Ok, i couldn't play it at all, but i swear I'm going to practise really hard. It was well worth the challenge though. It being so nice and all.

Oh and I just realised I sent Mr Glosz my email as cloudsteel@hotmail.com.. =.= Talk about blur..

K anyway, I failed both geog AND chinese tests. BAH. I'm going to get it frm my parents... but I DID study k! Just not hard enough.. :( Man, how am I going to get into SAJC at this rate?!

Ah, so there's this problem, and I found a short-term(?) solution to it.. but.. will it stay solved?

I hope so.

Anyone have any idea what ventrilo is? Dar is asking me to join and i duno WTH it is. o.o

& here, i present to you.. John's good deed.

It was a balmy Sunday morning and john was taking a stroll around his estate. He turned his head and saw a couple frantically trying to get someone’s attention. He walked over and they immediately told him their plight. Her cat was very sick and while they were on their way to the vet, a ferocious dog chased her up a tree, their cat was so stricken with fear that it did not dare to come down. They were worried that it might be too late for her by the time someone came.

They begged him to help them and would not take no for an answer. John knew that it was a dangerous task and that only he could decide the fate of the poor cat. So, plucking up all the courage in him and with a determined look on his face, he climbed up the tree steadily but surely. Beads of sweat rolled down the owner’s foreheads, was it too late to save their cat?

Finally, John climbed down the tree with the cat safely in his arms. They all heaved a sigh of relief. They thanked John profusely, hugged their kitten tightly and rushed of to the vet. When he went home and recounted the day’s events to his mother, tears of joy rolled down the ecstatic mother as she hugged him. He had done her proud.

Later that day, John got a phone call, it was the couple. They told him that their cat had indeed been saved. John was elated that his efforts had not gone to waste. They thanked him more and even offered him a generous sum of money for saving their cat. John shyly turned them down because to him, the reward is knowing he had done a good deed.

The next day, to his enormous surprise, he was featured in the Newspaper. Later, he found out that a reporter was nearby and saw everything had happened. From this moment on, John knew that no good deed goes unrewarded.



Now, that was written by my sister. Pretty good for a p6 dont you think?

January 21, 2007

Oh, & something for all to read.

Hi. I found this quite meaningful, so something for yall to read.


When I came to Cleveland and joined The Orchestra, I was eighteen years old,
and I thought I was a finished product. Now I had arrived. All the hard work
was behind me.

You know how it is at ten when you think you'll never get beyond the first
position, at thirteen when you can't cope with ten minutes practicing
before school and two hours after it,­ at sixteen when you're working 25
hours a day for the big competition,­ and then, for me, at eighteen. It was
all over. Finished. I had A Job.

And how little I know! It was only the bare beginning. It is so easy in
music to forget that we are doing something we love. Sometimes it's easy to
forget that we even love it as deeply as we do. It's so difficult when
you're young that, with as much passion as you have, it seems impossible to
imagine ever playing well enough. It's so difficult as you get older to
realize that this feeling will never go away.

I am fifty now. The young students I played with at summer string camp are
fathers and grandfathers. And I am still touched and amazed when playing
with distinguished colleagues of my own age to realize that, as well as
they may cover it up, they shake with stage fright before walking out, and
sometimes even in performance. The doubts, the insecurities, the anger at
the space between the dream and the achievement: these never go away.

There is never a moment in music when you can say, "This is it. Now I have
arrived." It is a journey with many stops. There are frustrating pauses,
whirlwind acceleration, and sometimes, just a sense of having got
seriously lost.

I see now how ironic it was for me that only a year after I got to Cleveland
with the feeling that I could now sit back and enjoy things.­ that I had the
worst time of my whole musical career. It seemed to my old colleagues -
many of whom were still in music school then - that I had it made. I had a
regular salary (enough to keep a man and family, after all) and I with
only myself to take care of. I had concerts all over the world with one of
the greatest orchestras of all time,. who, from the outside, could possibly
have guessed the desolation and emptiness that I felt. Was it all for this?
Was this the magic? Here I was on the third stand, never heard and never
noticed. I felt invisible - it began to feel like a boring, terrible, slow
death. Forty years of this, how was I to endure it?

The problem was, of course, the total lack of a good, true education. In
those early days, I never listened to my colleagues. I just stared at the
page and played along with everyone else. One of the herd. Then one day,
George Szell, clearly frustrated beyond belief at my donkey-like
sleepwalking, told me to stay back during the intermission of a rehearsal.
He grabbed my right arm and started to play as I should play out. It was a
terrible, terrible noise, but the passion was there again, the commitment.
He was furious with me. He barked at me: "You don't contribute. You don't
know anything. You're not prepared. You just float along down the stream.
You never know how the music goes." It was a tirade - and it amazed me. It
had simply never entered my self-pitying state that this could all be my
fault. That if I was bored, it was because I wasn't trying hard enough.
Music isn't boring; people are.

So he told me about studying the score, about practicing music not just
technique; about learning to hear the rest of the music... to study
beforehand the architecture of a piece, the lines weaving through it in all
the individual instruments. Above all, he dared me to have pride again in my
playing. It wasn't to be the old pride - narcissistically and aimlessly
self-delighting in the trivia of instrumental playing. But to get immersed
into the whole psyche and personality of a composer. He taught me respect
for the creative force behind a great piece of music. He taught me respect
for my fellow musicians: bullied and scorned by him, I was forced to open up
and listen to the great musicians who surrounded me. I was over-awed by a
horn sound that my wretched cello could never match; a clarinet legato that
defined the word for me at last; the silvery shimmer of beautiful flute
playing. George Szell opened my ears to the musical inventiveness of fine
oboe playing. He taught me humility and, through it, he brought me joy.

It's so interesting for me to look back. When I was made principal cello of
The Cleveland Orchestra, I was probably the same age as most of you. Many of
my friends then, I still see and play with. Or, actually, not too many.
That's the rub.

When I went into the orchestra, most of my old Juilliard and Curtis
classmates wrote me off as solo material. That was me out of the fray, out
of the running, for a lifetime. There were big talents, big stars-to-be,­
and I was no longer counted among them. Or, perhaps, never was. And I would
have put my money on other cellists than I for a solo career, quite frankly.
There are people I can still see in my mind's eye who seemed incandescent:
tall, good looks, flashing fingers; the right mentors; competition winners;
stunning self-confidence. And most of them - if not all of them, actually
- you wouldn't have even heard of. I had no idea at twenty-one what a
long, long journey it is.

The key is simple: You just have to keep going. It isn't a competition;
it's only about yourself, about one practice day after another, about
keeping going, and above all, forcing yourself to understand that you never
understand it all. The English have a term which I have just discovered.
It's called DINTISM. "How did he get that job?" I asked about a
colleague. "Oh, dintism," came the answer. Dintism? It is (it was
explained to me) by sheer dint of doing it. Of doing it, with all good
will and effort day after day, year after year. Of not giving up.

I'm often asked whether or not I get bored of carrying the Dvorak Concerto
around the world. Bored? They must be joking. I, who thought I knew
everything I needed to know about the Dvorak Concerto when I was twenty, am
still discovering new things every single time I play it. I hear someone
else play it and that goes for my students too, and in their
interpretation, I'll hear a phrase, a note, an unfamiliar turn of musical
gesture, and there will be a new discovery for me.

I'll never forget my encounters with Marcel Moyse, the legendary French
flutist, at the Marlboro Festival. In his eighties, he kept tripping over
his words in his passion, his eagerness to tell you of a piece of music. As
much toil and work as music demands - it is also our brush with
immortality. I heard Pablo Casals play when he was so old that his fingers
and technique could hardly be recognized as good cello playing - and yet,
it was the most moving and dynamically powerful music-making you can
imagine, so alive was the soul, so strong the belief in the music.

What, you may ask, has all this to do with you who are just about to go into
the world? Well, I am here as a scout. I am here to report back on what it
looks like down the road. And I can tell you that the journey at the
beginning, and the journey to the end are no different - music is one and
the same journey, and it always continues.

I meet young musicians in their early twenties who are already turned off;
they're bored; they're cynical. "It's all politics," they'll say. But
I met them thirty years ago, too, like that - and those are the talents who
disappeared. Only the music remained, and those who in delighting in the
music; in never failing to find refreshment in it; who rejoice in their
gift,­ those are the musicians who have lasted, whose way has been lit by
this special lantern of our art.

It's hard to remember that now, perhaps. Most students I know graduate with
the full weight of student loans on their shoulders, cars in need of new
transmissions and gearboxes, rent that's due, freelance jobs far and few
between.­

But I came here today to say, "Keep going." Magical things have happened
to me. Magical things have happened to many of us, and we're all
surprised. I have colleagues who are much older than I who teach at The
Royal Academy of Music in London, and I feel the bond of being in this
amazing and magical circle together. They don't have the international
chances that I do - but the music, and the delight in it, is the same.

Franz Schubert is dead, but his music is alive. It almost breaks my heart
that I never knew him. But what truly breaks my heart are the musicians I
meet on my path who are alive - but somehow dead.

Go out and join the living.

Joy and good fortune to you all.
AH bloody hell. my post so screwed up.

Heartache.

Hey! I'm back again. sorry for the long period of time betw my last post and this one. Dammit so much school work.

So lets see. How many weeks have passed? 2/3 weeks? Alot has happened since Christmas. More good times than bad, thank god.

Things that happened:

1. School started. - HELL BROKE LOOSE in my life. The workload is OMGWTFDIE. However, I'm trying my best best best to cope with it. So I hope it works out. However, I can't seem to get it into my head that I SHOULD BE STUDYING FOR THAT DARN CHEM TEST NOW INSTEAD OF POSTING. The total idea of chem totally repels me from all the notes and TYS and whatever. UGGHHHH.

2. I went for PhilYouth Auditions! - & wow. Totally screwed up man. Screwed until cannot screw more. But WTH i still got in. I LOVE MISS LEONG! ♥

3. I got a new phone! - Its a Nokia 7390. White & pink! This is the black and brown one. But mine's loads nicer (:
















4. 17th Jan was Max's & Ccs's Birthday! - Spent another boring and loooong wednesday at school. Then I went over to Max's place after he was done with band. Brought along Takopachi and 2 Fondants from taka! Hope it made him happy. Went with Max's mother & brother to Sushi Teh to have dinner. :D It was YUM. Oh oh and since his dad couldn't make it, I went over the next day too and they brought me to Lawry's for dinner. Trust me, I haven't eaten anything so expensive in my LIFE. But it was DAMN cool.

5. Guitar Hero 2 came into my life! - and now all this time, I'm SO obsessed about rock songs, esp the ones from GH2. & from GH2 i found a new favourite song! BEAST & THE HARLOT - AVENGED SEVENFOLD!

Haha & now, some random things. Like pictures of Max's noticeboard & the weird stuff i drew
there :






<--DOIS drew this! I thought it was cute. & poor keith.















<--- pure vandalism. & isnt the cheese cute!

Okaaay! Thats all for today. When i get more pics I'll post them! :D

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity.
Their domain name… wait for it… is

All I want for Christmas is YOU. (:

HEY GUYS :D

REASONS WHY IM NOT THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD

  1. Darling's in US for Christmas. :'(
  2. My mum's being a total BITCH.
  3. I have a WHOLE LOAD of unfinished holiday homework. And somehow I cant find the ones that I actually completed. WTH.

Haha. Alright. Now for the explanations. My mum was being a bitch earlier on today. My dad couldn't find her a Christmas present because she kept saying that she wanted a present that was over $1k. Den my dad obviously thinking like WTF where am i gona get that kind of money. Den my mum KNN say that he never put in effort to look for a present for her. Actually, he look everywhere alr juz tt duno wd to buy. He scared buy smth she dun like because she will complain like hell. That time her waterbottle broke, so my dad bought her a new water bottle for her birthday. DEN SHE SCOLDED HIM LA. she say he never put in effort buy such a cheap thing etc. Den my dad retort say tt her waterbottle spoil so he buy her a new one cannot meh. She reply, " People dont give replacement for presents la. If my iron spoil u buy me a new iron for my birthday present isit?" Den he juz keep quiet cos so fed up alr. I wanted to say, " Wasnt that what u did to me. My track shoe spoil den u buy me new one to replace for my present also right. " But I didnt dare to say cos it'll be rude. But KNN lah why she muz liddat one. My dad so poor thing already.

On a lighter note,

The X-mas Files

THE X-MAS FILES

57 ELM STREET BETHLEHEM,
PA. 11:51 P.M.,
DECEMBER 24TH

We're too late! It's already been here. Mulder, I hope you know
what you're doing.

Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir, truncated,
mounted, transformed into a shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly; stockings
hung by the chimney, with care.

You really think someone's been here?

Someone, or something.

Mulder, over here -- it's a fruitcake.

Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal.

It's O.K. There's a note attached: "Gonna find out who's
naughty and nice."

It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list.

Who? What are you talking about?

Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel at
great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once each year, near
the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the heavens to reward
its followers and punish disbelievers with jagged chunks of anthracite.

But that's legend, Mulder -- a story told by parents to frighten
children. Surely you don't believe it?

Something was here tonight, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this
gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was massive
-- and in a hurry.

It left crumbs everywhere. And look, Mulder, this milk glass has been
completely drained.

It gorged itself, Scully. It fed without remorse.

But why would they leave it milk and cookies?

Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wielding.

But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and
windows were locked. There's no
sign of forced entry.

Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace.

Wait a minute, Mulder. If you're saying some huge creature landed on
the roof and came down this chimney! You're crazy. The flue is barely six
inches wide. Nothing could get down there.

But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions at once?

You mean, like a bowl full of jelly?

Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this, but when I was a child
my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white shanks of
fur surrounding its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red and
white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away, and when I looked back
it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father.

Impossible.

I know what I saw. And that night it read my mind. It brought
me a Mr. Potato Head, Scully. It knew that I wanted a Mr. Potato Head!

I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of
physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars
across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen to
what you're saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this
gets out, they'll close the X-Files.

Scully, listen to me: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows
when you're awake.

But we have no proof.

Last year, on this exact date, SETI radio telescopes detected bogeys in the
airspace over twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a Condition
Red.

But that was a meteor shower.

Officially. Two days ago, eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished
from the National Zoo, in Washington, D.C. Nobody -- not even the zoo
keeper -- was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know
about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist the
public will stop spending half its annual income in a holiday shopping
frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully, they cannot let the
world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake. They'll do
whatever it takes to insure another silent night.

Mulder, I ...

Sh-h-h. Do you hear what I hear?

On the roof. It sounds like a clatter.

The truth is up there. Let's see what's the matter.

Tune in next year to see what they found!

Thankfully, he doesn't look as gay as he sounds. (OMG NO OFFENCE MEANT KW, NO OFFENCE MEANT.) Yep. Watched ERAGON today!! Wheeee.

May 22, 2005

I feel like crying now.
Sometimes, I just feel like letting it all out.
Letting the tears flow, like a river of sadness, all the way out into the vast expanse of sea, where they mingle with other drops of tears. Only then, will I know, that I am not alone.
Sometimes, talking and sharing my problems just makes me feel worse.
I wouldn't want to burden you with my problems.
I just need someone I can trust to be beside me. Just to keep me company, and listen to my silent complaints.
I guess no one really cares what I write in here, since anyone barely reads it anymore.

May 18, 2005

screwed.

oh man. i miss him loads. and its only wednesday. ahhhhh! nvm. gonna see him tomorrow. jia you, marissa, jia you.

I haven't blogged for a really long time....i dunno... not really in the mood i guess. and i'm even more not in the mood now.I just miss him a whole lot. :(

May 05, 2005

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

love makes the world go round and round and round and round ((:


okay. that was random.Well, I haven't really blogged these few days because I have nothing to blog about. It hasn't really been a interesting three or four days for me. I think the one thing I remember most from these three to four days would be... um... - i can't think of anything >.< - practically nothing. Because, nothing profound has actually happened. And guess what! It's two days to saturday, and one a few hours to tomorrow! Besides the horrible inevitable fact that there's art tomorrow, WE HAVE BAND! Woo hoo! (uh oh... i'm learning from Kerwin. hmms. i shall not say woo hoo, or boo hoo for that matter, anymore. so there.)

Well, went to church today for Ascension mass and saw Rachel, and that eccentric guy whom I used to see in the 317 bus all the time in primary school. CREEPY. Oh, and Louisa sang the responsorial psalm! Now I have reason to tease her on Sunday, if she's even coming for Cat. Class. Speaking of church, while I was taking this bus to Tampines in the afternoon after school, I saw this guy from my Cat. Class last year, but I kinda forgot his name. Daniel, was it? No clue. So I kinda decided to me dao and not say hi. After all, he was kinda far away from me. You wouldn't expect me to shout "hi!" to this guy whom I don't even know the name of... It would just be plain weird. AND spastic, not forgetting. He probably couldn't remember my name either, seeing as I hardly said more than ten words each cat class last year. Kinda pathetic, I know, but I hardly knew anyone there. And the teacher... THE TEACHER WAS KILLING ME. He was so damn boring. =X. Not saying anything more.


In my opinion, American Idol is not worth watching anymore. Because crowd favourite(and mine, too) Constantine is out. However, I think all the remaining five finalists deserve to be where they are now. (except maybe Anthony Federov) I think Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice are gonna be Top 2. Carrie is chio. Haha. My sister wanted to say that Carrie looked like a Barbie doll, and ended up saying she looked like Bubblegumm. wahahaha. Okay I'm waiting to see who would be the next one out of AI. It's taking a long time... Oh well. I shall go do stuff now. ((:

April 23, 2005

Wheeee.

Okay Suzy. Don't say anything about my last post. There is NOTHING to say. You know it, I know it. Yay-ness. I have decided to incorperate caps into my posts, but there's this one little flaw: whether I actually will remember to put them after this post. Nothing I can do about it right now, except read this post before writing every entry, which if sufficiently lame for me not to describe.


I don't really have much to write here, since nothing remotely interesting's happened. Yea. Ooh. I'm looking forward to church tomorrow. Three guesses why. (: Haha. I guess you don't need three, for those of you who know me well enough.


xoxo-marissa
I'll love you forever, always.

I miss you.

I never realised
I could miss you this much.


I have no idea what's going on with me lately.
I feel so alone in this world,
not having you beside me.
It's like there are so many different paths stretched out before me.
I don't know which way to turn,
which direction to go.
so lost without you.


okayy. I really need someone to talk to right now, preferably someone who knows me in and out, thanks. But really, anyone would do. (:


xoxo-marissa
I'll love you forever, always.

To Whoever It May Concern

Why

I can tell you my deepest secrets;
knowing that you'll keep them safe.
With you, I'm not afraid to be myself.
I can say something stupid,
and you'll be there to laugh along with me, not at me.
You believe in my dreams,
however silly they may seem,
just as i believe in yours.
There was never a need to do something special,
We'd have fun anyway.
You've seen through my imperfections;
and accepted me for who I am.
Just by looking at me,
you'd know how I was feeling,
Even though I try my best to hide my emotions.


You know me better than I even know myself.


Whenever I went through times of trouble, times of need;
you'd be there for me.
Whenever I was in danger;
you'd be there to protect me, to keep me safe from harm.
Whenever I needed a listening ear, someone I could trust;
you'd always be there, waiting for me to pour out my sorrows.
Whenever I cried;
you'd be there to wipe away my tears, to tell me everything was gonna be alright.


I owe it all to you for this,
for sharing the laughter and the tears;
the joy and the pain;
for being there when I needed you most.



The times we spent together;
they've become memories,
ones that I'll never forget.


Remember;
Whatever happens,
even if things take a turn for the worst,
you will always have that special place in my heart.



xoxo-marissa
i'll love you forever, always.

Wednesday

heyy peeps. I'm gonna change my blogskin again. But i just realise i need more colour. this one is so dull. haha. yupps. but i like the notes. (: lol.

kk today we went to watch the debate Y14s.. we won against NYGH! hahah. Susannah was pro man.. haha. wells anyway. My mood got from so 'high' to so 'low' today. y'know that at the start of the day everyone was so sian. and i was sleepy. hah. yea so the day didn't really start off on a high note. But anyway I did the living will thing with Carine, Amelia and Denise. I got so high cause i was really excited about the debate, and i realised that the AMD had to do with euthanasia, which was really cool, since the debate motion was THW legalise voluntary euthanasia. yupps. then Denise changed the topic to music, and carine said she wanted to start a band, so i was like, hey! why don't we start a band together! You should have seen how excited I was lol. I would have started jumping if it weren't for the space constraint. Yea so now Tessa's keyboardist. haha.. we need a drummer & and one more guitarist, so i'm asking all my friends now. Yea, so I can't possibly be keyboardist for keef's band, Colleen. sorry... yupps. Oh yes! I'm doing pathology for my career choice. I think it's damn cool!!! haha.

You don't appreciate me at all. I was just trying to help damnit. You tell me that RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, when you know I was just trying to help. YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT I TOLD HER. So can you actually BOTHER to ask what I told her before saying something you know is SO UNTRUE right in front of my face??!! I don't even know why I bothered trying to help you. It's obvious that it didn't come to anything. Like i should stop talking to you altogether. omg. i can't stand it anymore. SUZY IS SO RIGHT. for once. =P.

And yes, we have a new pope. Benedict XVI.

omg omg omg. SYF is tmr. and i'm sick. AHHHHHHH.
lol.. 2 weeks just flew merrily past and i didn't even notice. Oh well... I'm sure we have the potential to get Gold for SYF. We can do it! YAY! lol. sorry i'm being kinda retarded at the moment.. I think the aircon in the library is affecting my brain and affectiny my fingers' ability to type fast. They're all numb now. ARGH. okaay. the week so far.. has had ONE good thing.. the rest has been total crap. like getting back all sorts of results. And realising that I got a bloody B for math. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! Half a mark more and I would have gotten an A. Dammit. Imagine if i did any worse for my pledge, I would have just stop breathing there and then. Ok let me tell you what the good thing was then, since i think you'd hate me if i went on any more about my rotten results (Hey! Alliteration!) KK. I SACRIFICED my geog and science test results to go to the RJC concert on Monday. (yes i know i shoulda stayed home to study.. but.. couldn't resist. lol.) Wheee. And I'm glad I went. haha. My.. AHEM... friend went with me. Don't get the wrong idea. lol. whatever you're thinking. haha.. then Grace was sitting 2 rows in front of me. Wonder if she noticed me.. NAH. Who would notice a person like me anyway.. Haha.. i saw Eunice and Peace there too!

Thursday

Yes, I should be doing my hw, I know. But, kinda taking a break. Break from what, I wonder.I haven't really done anything so far. So I was just thinking, should I change my blogskin again? I'm apparently not contented with this one. Though I think the strawberries in the pic look good enough to eat! Tell me if that's not true.
Well anyway, these few days have been one of the most[ummm...] hectic? [Is that the word?]It's just that I think the stress of the past few weeks have started taking it's toll, and I think the late nights are not really paying off either, since I'm still doing so badly in all my CTs. I'm trying to do something about it, but as you can see, I'm not really [self-]disciplined enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't be BLOGGING in the first place. I think I need tuition for practically every subject. My grades have been slipping, and the best thing is, it's only April! I wonder what would happen if I carried on like this until the end of the year. It would probably be suicide.
I'm really excited about this Sunday though.
[10 Apr.]
`))Church - Entrance Ritual [DO NOT ASK ME WHAT IT IS ABOUT. I have no idea myself. =X]
-Catechism (: [hooooray. hah.]
`))Taekwondo Grading - brown2 [i can't believe it. I'm finally catching up with my sister. I hope she'll stall for another 3 months after this grading. Then I will be able to take brown1 exam BEFORE her and become junior black belt first! WAHAHAH. I doubt that will happen, because chief will ask me to teach her her pattern. And SHE is the one who knows the pattern. She's brown1 already, just that she's not going for this grading. HAH. She has been stalling at brown1 for half a year already. Let's hope she stays there. X) I'm so evil.]
`)) ShuFang's Birthday! [Happy birthday!]

Sunday

`Sometimes i wonder, just how many people in this world out there hate me. Kinda hard to think of the positive side of that sometimes, y'know?
Well, to tell you the truth, i don't of myself as all that great. You think you're great? I don't freaking care. Y'know, sometimes people tell me not to care what people think, so sometimes i don't care, and sometimes i do. But I think the most despicable act is to let that person know that you don't like the way they are by your actions. I mean, what the hell, you could just tell me straight out. For example, you could say,"Hey marissa, i think you're _______________. Could you tone it down a little?" What the hell, I could take a little constructive criticism. What do you think of me as? An ass with no brains? Perhaps so, my friend, if i could call you that. Like all people, I have a limit. You irritate me too much, i break down and i shout. You talk to me in that kind of tone, i get pissed. And well, you won't wanna know what happens next. I ain't gonna condone your crap. I try to be nice to you, and I'm not expecting anything much in return, JUST A LITTLE COMMON COURTESY. Couldn't you just give me that? I think my life is screwed up enough without you in it, so don't mess it up even more for me yeah? You don't like me, TELL ME. I won't hate you for it. PROMISE. If you don't have the courage to do that, then what can I do mann, it's your life. You can continue hating me for the rest of your life for all I care, just don't let it show in front of me. And those people whom I already know don't like me, gawd don't act like you like me.[in a platonic way, of course] It makes me sick, y'know. Ugh. I hate myself. I hate the way I've been born to be. Because apparently, some people don't like it. And I like to please people, who doesn't? Yes, and cut the lecture. Life isn't fair, I KNOW THAT BY NOW.
`Let me list you some of the things that I think of myself as, or some people think of me as:
1. A snobbish know-it-all.
2. A poser.[ ohho. i know who thinks i'm this. It's so obvious.]
3. A despo.
4. A show-off.
5. A bitch.
6. A freak.
7. A hopeless socialiser.

`I'm sure there's more to the list. So give me some more and I'll add on to it yeahh? How fun.
`Right now the only close friend I have is Susannah. I've not forgotten bout the rest of you. I just can't confide in you. You won't understand me okay?
` SIGH.
