born serene oh but not old.
nicknamed the old one now.
i stress, i am not old.
i would prefer to be called, mature.

It's not a dream if it came true,
but we exist to dream.
Make a wish,
I'm your faithful genie that doesn't have much patience :)

i can do silly things for an acquaintance. and it's only a 2 hour acquaintance. haha. once in my lifetime only. okay fine. twice. call me silly but i really admire and respect this acquaintance. always.

out.
taking a little break from mugging now. i have completed log and functions. actually, should be i gave up on functions. it's worse than greek lah. it's practically alien language! haha. xueping is so going to puke blood tomorrow when she tries to teach me. sorry cus!

okays. anyway, decided to write this now because i just saw something amelia wrote on my first set of maths notes. it's dated 09Jan06. then, i came upon realisation that i have known her for a really long tun. till today, it's been 8 months and 20 days. like wow. it's approximately 260 days already. wow. i have sorta lost contact with ame but not with jj and cherylin. good thing. for the past 260 days, we have been meeting up on a weekly basis. seeing each other a lot especially jj cos he is just a class apart. like wow. nothing can express my love for these people. love them too much!

just yesterday karen wanted us to thank someone during civics. i couldn't think of anyone but my H2 chinny people. didn't thank them though, but thanked all my friends instead. a very generic answer. haha. after reflecting, i realised that i should have thanked jj and cherylin, cos they are so important to me. i might no be as important to them but they are really important to me. so i'm going to take this chance now to say,"thanks cheryl and jj. thank you for all the wednesdays. thank you! love you guys to the sun and hope to come back in one piece! there might not be anymore wednesday meetings next year but i still hope we can meet up on a weekly basis."
(:

and BEV, no matter what, you remain in my heart. <3!
i have a dirty little secret, and guess what? i'm not going to tell you. jjaa.
((:

alrights people. i'm like in post exam mode already. haha. just because i finished one chinny paper. haha. i am really enjoying myself, which is really bad for health, studies and finances. haha. i bought 3 comics in 3 days. like hellos. haha. oh wells.

and yes breakfast club! i can't wait for monday to come. good food good food good food. yays! maybe we can miami vice after that. hmm. a happy serene leads to a happy serene leads to a maybe will be happy jonadab. haha. but one thing for sure, an emo jonadab leads to an emo serene lead to an emo serene. we should rename as emo breakfast club instead. haha.

what else? serene loves her comics a lot so for her big day in october, do get her comics. you are welcome to refer to the receptionist to get more details. by the way, the receptionist is serene. oh. and if you are thinking of getting serene something that is blue and round, do consider again. because serene is complaining that her room is so blue and round that even her mom buys her mooncakes in that character. oh wells. the main part should be, if you are even getting serene anything. hahaa.

one last thing. i love wei xiao. and my dongy. hahaaaa. love love love. and graceh, you are allowed to have some feelings for him too. hmm. as for mich, okay lah. permission granted cos we are good partners. hahaaa.

okays. off to my tv! bye!
i missed you so.
ohohs. i can'tseemtogetyououtofmymindagain. likeneverableto. dang. iamthinkingwayyyytooomuchhh.
okays. i have so much to say during the period that i wasn't online (laziness is the reason). haha.

firstly, i forgot to mention the fact that i thoroughly enjoyed the forbidden city towards the end cos i can connect with the characters and feel for them. the loneliness and helplessness. yah. okays. i finally said it. yays!

secondly, wow. i realised i know a lot junjies. as in a lot! like 5? not a lot? who dares say that man! haha. okays. some kinda monologue (i stress yet again, i can't spell). anyway, back to the topic. isn't 5 a lot? and the best part is, 4 of them were from my primary school years. now now, ain't that shocking? haha. okays. here comes the junjie list. ong junjie, kelvin soh junjie, ng chunkiat, tan junjie and junjie. haha. confession time, i can't remember the surname of the last junjie or even he is called junjie. i think is something kit. but i really cannot recall what kit. yah. can't blame me. he transferred out in P3. yah. one thing i am sure though, i can still remember how he looks like. he's cute. haha. that's why. opps. heehee. okays. so except tan junjie, the rest are from kbps. as for jj, he's from sa. yeah.
how come parents my era, like to call their sons junjie? it's a question worth giving a thought. there seems to be a lot of junjies amongst the boys born in the 1980s. hmm. and guess what? i might just want to call my son junjie too! haha. cos by the time (should i ever) i give birth, there shouldn't be that many, or even any, junjies around. hee. why? the simple logic of not wanting to name their sons like everyone else's or like their friends' name. ((:
so my son (should i have any) shall be named (hopefully) andrew ____ junjie. nice one. haha. can't believe i'm going with such an old-fashioned chinese name. haha. actually right, josiah is a nice name too. but of cos, andrew is of a higher and better standard. but things are hard to say years down the road. =D

thirdly, we went for learning journey on wednesday. nothing much to mention about. but it is kinda fun cos we get to see the miniature structure of buildings and marina area. hey ning! i saw your house! i could even point out the block but i forgot the floor. so no luck in locating the actual unit. yeah. that's about it.

fourthly, my chinese test is like..urgh! haha. everyone was stressed on thursday cos they had spa and i, my chinese test. horrible. i studied throughout econs tutorial and lecture (lecture cos i forgot to study about the characters). wasted. i hate missing econs. especially tutorials cos ms hon rocks. anyway, it didn't turn out good. the old lady twisted and mixed everything up and asked in such a not obvious way that we have to think of what to use to answer. and the best part was, the things i studied didn't really come out. dang. i spotted the wrong parts. ahh. okay fine. i picked the easiest and shortest parts to study for. oh wells. it's only a test. a stepping stone in studying for promos. think positive. (:

fifthly, chinese excursion on friday!! yays. went to the nonya place. woohoo. club harah to the rescue. haha. actually is, club harah to the pigging. haha. we ate like everything they gave us on the table and even koped food from the next table. haha. we had so much fun eating and crapping and laughing lah. haha. now we can be called Fat RSTs. haha. why? cos we have felicia, roxanne, serene, serene, sally and terrena. haha. and we ate damn a lot. haha. fun fun fun!

sixthly, went back for gp on saturday. wow. woke up at 7 by serene's sms. supposed to be in school by 8. i rock right. haha. made it in time for breakfast still cos parents sent me to school. hee. had to do a mock comprehension before peer-marking. it was horrible. i just wasn't functioning. oh wells. it's over. wanted to go to macs and study but decided to come home and sleep first before going over. supposed to wake up at 4.30 but decided to go back to sleep and only woke up at 7. wow. so much for wanting to try and study. haha.

seventhly, today, i tried to go to macs and study again. went this time round but came back pretty fast cos my beloved orange marker LEAKED! like i have no idea how did the cap come off. but i am pissed. my pencil case got soaked, some pens stained, jacket stained, econs notes stained and my pretty colourful bag stained too!! ahh!! like damn sad. especially my pencil case. my pretty pencil case. now the purple jesus word is partially orange. dang.

eighthly, i want to say i love my dar! haha. dar is always so cute lah. wishing me happy birthday beforehand. last year was a month earlier, then a few days after my 17th birthday, he wished me for my 18th. then on tuesday again. haha. say he scared later he forget to wish me. haha. i rather he focus on studying for prelims and a's man. haha. oh. and i saw him the other day. wednesday i think. yah. was with mellie and merv at macs and before seeing mellie board the bus and went off with merv. think dar dropped from the 76 mellie boarded. anyway, didn't manage to talk to him other than saying hi cos with merv lah. so weird to throw merv alone and go up to dar and start talking right? like so rude. oh wells. haha. one more thing. i seem to have become better/good friends with merv already. like i saw him 3 times in a week? wow. haha. mellie, i can only say you are one lucky girl to have found him. hahaa.

okays. now i should end my nagging and crapping and blogging. haha. byebye!!
guess what? i missed you a lot today. a lot.
hellos!! i went for the FORBIDDEN CITY yesterday!! ahh!! it rocks my socks. haha. gosh. i love it alrights. like totally.

my second time watching it and it only made memories fonder and closer to the heart. this time round, i got one of the "best" seats which happens to be on the fourth floor and by the side. it's called restricted view, so i can only see half the stage, and that's after bending over the railing. oh wells, at least i managed to discover some new theatre stuff. like i can see the whole orchestra and their conductor, i can see the people in charge of the sound, and of cos, my favourite lighting technicians! haha. they are totally great. it's a very different feeling observing all these stuff as compared to watching the play proper. it's also a good thing that i've watched it before so i can afford to miss half of the play and only listen to the singing. love the songs. they are so captivating. i have to say this,"well done dick. it's a beautiful job, cleverly done." now, that line sounds weird but heck it. it's not a gp essay or exam. haha.

out of curiousity, jj and i went to suntec city to take a look at the security because of the IMF meeting. wow. i tell you, they planted really beautiful sunflowers and some purplish flower by the side of the road and it's really beautiful. it doesn't feel like the way to suntec at all. and the security is really tight, with soldiers(?) holding snipers(i think so. is that what they are called?) walking around within the fenced up area. wow. totally cool. even the security at city hall mrt is tightened. you guys should go and take a look if you are free. especially you poly people and a'level people whose prelims are ending soon. it might be a once in a life time scene. hee.

okays. anything else to add? not for the time being i guess. except one fact, econs rock! haha. we are so into econs now that we speak the economic language in all classes. haha. power eh.
((:
serene is not a happy girl when someone make a comment her beloved polka dots!! not happy!!

what is wrong with ST? what is wrong with it!! how can they do such a thing? putting the results of a poll on the cool and uncool uniforms on a national paper, how can they?

i think this is humiliating, to be named the top on the list of uncool uniforms. don't they ever spare a thought for others? come on. ask anyone who has worn that uniform before and they will tell you they love it. ST did clarify by saying that 84.5% (i think) of the girls love the uniform, which is good. but still. do we have to care whether our uniform is uncool in others' eyes? seriously, i am so proud of my polka dots that i would do anything to wear that now, and not that set of pretty unifrom from sa.

then again, i tried to look on the brighter side. polka dots are our trademark and we stand out because of it. only st margs girls will understand the pride of being dressed in polka dots and learn to love the history behind the uniform, behind the school. only st margs girls have the right to be dressed in polka dots and never be a fashion faux pas. only st margs girls are able to identify each other through the love of polka dots. only st margs girls have this priority. only st margs, only polka dots.

here's an extract from my chabo's post.

It's not how the uniform looks. It's how you feel when you put it on. Those polka dots are what binds generations of St Margs girls together. Yes, it may look ugly and disgusting but those are what make you stand out from others. Because after you leave the school, and you meet another St Margs girl, the first thing you would talk about is wearing the uniform and all it's conveniences(and inconveniences of course). Surviving 4 years(or 5 for some. maybe less for others.) in that uniform is somewhat like NS. You have something in common to talk about. It's an identity and it's part of the St Margaret's identity.

Yes I Know, it's not the best thing to camoflage in when you're walking down Orchard Road but when you're in a whole bunch of polka dots(ie in school). the conveniences of the unifrom are uncountable. Just to name a few:
1) It's nice and cooling! Need i say mroe people?
2) You have a fan attached to your unifrom. (the tie lah! though it's fake)
3) Hands up to those of you who take about 10 seconds to put it on in the mornings!
4) It is how easy to change out of. Especially in class. Right 4/5 '05? ;)
5) People don't ask you which convent you're from(sorry IJ girls.)
6) Though this may never happen again, but during first three months, your ex-schoolmates are easy to spot.

What more can I say? It's the school spirit that counts, not the school uniform. Never judge a book by it's cover.
