HALLOWEEN!
yeahh, it mightnt be a big thing in singapore but hey, i think it's cool. i'm such a loser cos i get spooked easily. but i doubt there'd be anyone on th streets dressing up. & i definitely doubt that anyone would go trick-o-treating arnd my estate. but hey, i think it'd be cool if they did. HOHO.

anyways, i played with that funny makeup set today. i tell you, i was so amused by th aftereffects of makeup. hell. it's halloween. oh & i've cleaned it off. really, i was thinking of wearing it to drumming, but those four are gonna freak. maybe i'll jump off th cliff after feeling guilty & stupid. HAHA. oh, this is also a result of listening to marilyn manson & deadstar assembly early in th morning. your brain goes crazy (in a good way).


AYE. it's crazy. i know. eeks. all that's lacking are th coloured contact lenses & debZ's suggestion of combat boots {dies laughing}.

[edit]
it's 2022 & i just reached home about half an hour ago. stupid traffic jams. joshua didnt tell us he cancelled class. well, whatever it is. i'm feeling pretty fucked up now. & i saw this girl who attempted to look goth at suntec today. i could tell it was only for halloween. she looked more like a clubber than anything else. well, i saw th combat boots for myself & her black lipstick. once again, i dont like rebonded hair. {shivers}
[/edit]

i've been drugged with th emo-syndrome for th past few days. thank goodness it's wearing off now. anyways, these few days had all been about dance, dance & dance. from tomorrow, it'll be drum, dance, piano. talk about flexible schedules..

anyways, mrs lim finished off mouvement libre - dramatique ytd. so confusing. we skipped poetique cos many people were absent. oh wells. th music is chilling. it kinda seeps into your spine & haunts you right there. well, it's not called dramatic for nothing anyways. dance emo. hahaha.

today, i had to hit th snooze button on my phone thrice before finally getting out of th bed. dance rehearsal was funny because of kellie & charlotte. firstly it was when we were supposed to do our warmups. we were expecting th weird music that xu jie usually plays or probably none at all. when th music started, i was like hey! i think i know that song! but knowing xu jie, it cant be anything we know! & when th guy started singing on th audio, charlotte & kellie stared at each other & went WANG LEE HOM! OMGOMGOMG! i was like goodness, charlotte knows th song & i don't &.. I SPEAK PROPER CHINESE! O_O LOL. we saw xu jie mouthing th lyrics whilst going around sitting on people's backs. it was so wrong. none of us knew that he was so.. HIP? hahaha.

then kellie & xu jie had some kind of arguement over their legs. goodness. he was so offended when kellie said his legs were short. he took revenge soon after when he told us to elongate our position with our legs. hell, those two are hilarious. & charlotte, her attempts at speaking chinese. it seemed like all she ever talked abt was a "fixed schedule" for dance rehearsals. xu jie got so exasperated with her & advised her to stick to speaking english alone instead. then we discussed about duration of rehs on wednesday. charlotte said to xu jie : oh laoshi! so it's two-&-a-ban hours la! xu jie stared at her, rendered speechless. we were driving ourselves nuts with laughter.

then after dance, amelia, deanna & i went off for ballet. i was so tired. not sure about th other two but deanna was whining FOOOOOOOD during barre. hahaha. ms ong replied in mock-empathy, aww.. too bad! hahahahahah. th study is so funnnn. seriously, adv-found makes your calves inflate. okay, not inflate, but you get what i mean.

right now, i think i need a ten-hour sleep. on th avg, i need six hours. but i'm feelling so listless. & i cant wait for drumming tmr. but i don't know what on earth we're gonna be doing. guitars will be doing californication. i don't think i'll be doing that either right?

oh did i mention i need manuscript paper? for both piano & drumming. mr ho's stressing on theory work now. i think i'll drop dead re-learning all of those italian, german & french terms. & as for drums, i think i'll just embarrass myself once again with my lack of hand-eye-leg co-ordination.

this is infuriating. oh lord, its emo-day today. i'm quite upset over some posts on th LJ community i subscribe to. like hey, new fans arent all that clumsy. besides, some of us dont even have th opportunity to actually watch AFI's concerts. well, that aside, after all, i think i'm losing my ability to be verbally-vicious.

switch-topic: Dance, this morning.

spare me, i'm merely following ms ong's advise on getting myself out of hsienfa's item before i really hurt my ankle. strengthless ankle. goodness. well anyways, xu jie was in this green&blue get-up. i was going crazy because just this morning when i woke up, i was thinking of wearing a green shirt & blue jeans cos i was bound to freeze on th bus but i decided that i wanted to wear jeans tonight instead. so, in th end, i got out of th house wearing th dance tee & fbt shorts instead. & but of course, i freezed on th bus.

well halfway through stretching, he went to change. when he returned into th dance studio with his new attire, eryn, kelleynne, & quite a lot of us were going omfg O_O he was wearing th dance tee. omfg. i knew i should have been patient in looking for my old dance tee. dammit. it was funny to see him wearing our SCdance tee with that pink pair of printed ballet shoes hanging on th left shoulder.

mrs chan was really pissed when some of us didnt go to hsienfa's side. well, i guess i was part of th reason? well, i tried to explain to her but apparently she turned away before listening to me complete my bloody freaking sentence. lady, i swear, you need to be more patient.

anyways, xu jie's prac at th pri sch hall was intruded by mrs elaine lim. i think she'd make a fine successor of mrs chan if she leaves (which i dont think will be anytime soon). she got us to write our names down on this piece of paper. i volunteered to write. i like seeing tiny stuff. samantha said my handwriting looked neat. gosh, i'm uh.. flattered hahaha, thankyou. then knowing that i'm more like a friend than a senior to jing rong, she went whispering to her eh! your senior's got really nice handwriting! hahaha. kellie complained that my handwriting was too minute, so she wrote her own name. then returned th paper back to me to cont writing th others' names. mrs lim came to take a look & was impressed by how neat it was (actually, everything was sloping downwards if you looked carefully..) then she pointed to kellie's name & attempted to spell everything out. she said it was messy & illegible. oh wells.

my actual intention of volunteering to write th names was partly because i was bored & having been told a thousand & one times that my handwriting is itsy-bitsy, i was hoping to blind th teachers. oh wells. i guess it didnt work.

well xu jie got quite exasperated with lotte, kelleynne & i when he got us to do th eye-thing. goddammit. it looked as though he was teaching us how to do that ahlian-photo-taking pose. eh wait, i'm not trying to discriminate here, but you get th idea how it looked like. th three of us broke out into laughter when we were asked to do it together. of course, mrs lim was disapproving of that behaviour.

well, nianci's th best. human rubber band. all of us were staring in amazement, & probably slight disgust. i mean, it looked inhumanely flexible! she's really really good. she shld have done gymnastics. hahahaha.

xu jie & lotte had a bit of a "arguement" over dismissal time. it's really amusing seeing her speaking chinese with that caucassian accent. well, she kinda won, so we were dismissed at 11 & i headed off for piano.

i tell you, my brother, sister & i are failures at sight-reading for piano. whee.

in th past 12-48 hours, i've been so annoyed with internet connectivity. it seems like IE needs warming up before in use. utterly troublesome. eurgh.

so today was th last day of sch & apparently i'm feeling a tad upset. well, after all, there are some wonderful classmates. when i was saying goodbye to rachel, thoughts were racing in my mind. before my emo alter-ego took over me & had its speech, i said "bye" quickly & hurried away. part of th brain was going to say rachel, it's the end! the END! we've reached the end! it's been wonderful being classmates but we're being pushed to th end! okay. it doesnt make sense. it never does.

anyways, results of th appeal:
higherchinese, depending on secthree CA1 results.
pass - move on, fail - kick ass.

so you get th idea. anyways, there's dance auditions tmr & i'm contemplating whether to go. actually, it shouldnt be a bad idea going, apart from waking up early. well, if i go, at least i'm doing something. i guess i should probably be present.

digression from school-

i've brainwashed my sister to watch Pimp My Ride & Trick It Out over her lousy Martin Mystery & Totally Spies. that's an improvement. in PMR, what was left of this jason-guy's truck was really pathetic. it looked so.. possibly medieval? only th internal structure was left. even cranking of th reverse gear had to be done manually. goodness. i was dying of laughter. as usual, th people at gas made th car pimpin'. hahahahaha. i love watching that. my sis just stared in awe & turned down her favourite cartoon.

the power of MTV.

hehs. are dave(y)s in th US all hair-intriguing or smthn? thr was this guy on PMR who was in charge of altering some parts of th car, i found his hairstyle so.. COOL. it reminded me of felix the cat. you can picture how it stands up. & he's really funny too. with HAIRSTYLES in mind, th next person i'm gonna be rattling on abt is definitely.. none other than Davey Havok (:(:(:

well actually no, i'm not gonna talk much about him. hahahaha.

oh i forgot to mention that it was miss heng's last day too. it's actually quite unbelievable that she can draw. that cartoonish 2D character of her on th flag was actually drawn by her. goodness. we're losing a wonderful school principal here. & i seriously don't like th sound of having a beverlytee's-school's ex-principal.

i'm getting sick in th stomach.

oh my lord. my computer's screwing up on me. i have no idea what's happening but i've problem accessing my own freaking blogs. eurgh.
anyways, i've been rotting away since after th exams. today, we got back our report books. yayyeness for C2. i got th exact choice i wanted. goddammit, physics is so useless. well, today's final enrichment activity was th skills for th unseen thing. before i attended it, i'd alr heard tonnes of negative comments abt it being boring & irrelevant. well, to be honest, i think i kinda enjoyed it! hahaha. it was far better than I&E.
julia's a really nice lady who knew when to be fierce if need be. anyways, it was all about literature. poems, poems & more poems. gosh. i love that poem on timothy winters. but of course, i got all jittery when i saw th word winter on that piece of paper. some of you would definitely know why (: she also read us a poem she had written abt th ppl close to her. guess what. when she was talking abt precious stones, she used jade above all others. i was close to hyperventilating & many-a-time phua had to go oh yi ting! don't start again! well, for those of you who don't know, it's all gotta do with AFI (:
why, who else could it be!
but th real reason behind like th timothy winters poem, was actually more of this line which mentioned that he was dosed himself with aspirin. poor guy resorts to escapism from th tortured life coming down hard on him. hell, is he a druggie? haha. but well, that line impacted me th most. i'm think painkillers. do panadols sound familiar to you? haha. no, i'm not meaning it that way..
okay, so there's been nothing to do at home other than to stone in front of th computer. occasionally, i'll be found hammering keys on th piano. th piano needs tuning. or maybe a new one. you know, that red one i'd seen at esplanade.. HEHS.
oh btw, yous in this blog post isnt exactly referring to anyone. probably you, th one who's reading it.
well anyways, back to th piano. hey, i'm really bored. i actually tried playing more AFI songs. yes, if jiahui & van sees these, they'll think gosh, she ought to be shot! WELL, i spent quite a bit of time listening to Days of the Phoenix & Girls' Not Grey & Just Like Heaven. hahaha, it isnt an obsession! okay, maybe it is, to some of you. but hey, those songs are nice! besides, i play others too! i think i've been annoying my brother with Girls' Not Grey these past few days. heck. i haven't got sick of it. live with it, bro!
okay back to th lit thing today. julia introduced us to uh.. writing our own poems. haha. she got us to come up with a certain someone & focus on details that we could put in this "poem". well, phua & i suggested wondrous miss hilton. oh gosh. yes, i'm on THAT particular person again. i still cant accept what she did to trav & DxH & deryck whibley! goodness gracious! well, julia seemed to have nice things to say abt her.. until i gave her a horrid comparison at th end of th poem. well you'll get it when you see this:

Paris Hilton,
She is hot-pink candy floss,
Sexy, luscious lips,
A diamond, big as.. an eye.
Julia, for one, thought that it was a cool poem. obviously i thought so too. i'm like mocking paris hilton. goddammit, & she thought i worshipped her or something. NEVER! oh btw, it was a horrid experience waking up to her song this morning anyways. gave me th horrors of reliving her music video for Nothing In the World. whilst creating th poem, i'd mention that she made us focus on certain details. when i saw th word "hairstyle", obviously th first few people who'd come to my mind - paul twohill & DxH. come to think of it, i should have written abt him as th subject of person for my poem instead of nadine. his hairstyles are more than enough to fill up half th page. besides, Julia had only wanted us to fufill six lines. now THAT, was pathetic!
well YOU, nadine, be honoured! i wrote about you! over horses & pretty boys, synth-pop beats & spelling tests. well, don't try asking what i wrote. i think you'll drop dead laughing XD
alright, let's jump to what happened after school. apparently i was feeling quite high. as expected, it rained aft that period of highness. i should quit school & be a weather forecaster - well, i'm joking. jiahui & willa wanted to head towards suntec to look for posters. i had nothing to do, thus accompanying to that place with my favourite bus-stop. really, it sounds stupid but i DO have a favourite bus-stop (: well, that's not th point. we actually walked from th bus-stop outside raffles city. had food at burger king's & went through th city link mall. th three of us were naturally attracted to HMV.
it's like music haven, how could anyone resist?
metal, metal, metal. th blasted volume control was kinda faulty. i swear i could have gone deaf if i hadnt been able to turn it down. imagine hearing trivium over earphones 1.5metres away from th actual listener. well, you get th idea. willa desperately looked for jrock albums whilst jiahui stoned at th magazine corner. & i? just continued getting deaf at th metal section. i couldnt hear them talking for th next two minutes. okay, i suck. hahaha.
then we finally made it to suntec. jiahui & i made a head-dive into topshop, leaving willa helplessly swarmed by this group of people asking for donations. she was making a big fuss over abandoning her. jiahui said it was retribution for jabbing her eye & creating eye-juice. gosh, that sounds bloody sick but eye-juice is really just tears. it makes me think onions. why? i don't really know..
oh gosh. reading this blogpost from beginning to here has made me realised that i have done something similar to someone that i've not ever realised. i'm beginning to blog like DxH. well, not as wonderfully imaginative & visual but i'm paragraphing. livejournal screws your style in blogging, i swear. & this ultra long, never-ending, story telling blogpost.
well i'm gonna continue anyways. give yourself another.. five or ten minutes, perhaps?
anyways, thr was this song playing in topshop that got stuck in our heads. jiahui & i, being amazingly annoying to willa, kept humming th patternic guitar riffs over & over again like an unstoppable broken recorder. well, it was really a nice song!
th two of them couldnt get th posters they wanted. while they were making enquiries, being th weird person i have always been, i went oogling at th corpse bride & nightmare before christmas dolls & toys at th shelf in th same store. i love that tim burton guy. his movies are so creepy & haunting yet so oddly satisfying.. i sound like a vampire.
anyways, aft that, jiahui & i decided to do something stupid on th way to th bus-stop. we suggested to head towards that humongous fountain. apparently willa didnt wanna do th fountain thing cos she had just done it last week. th last time i did it was with my mother back when i was in p3. darn, it's been five years alr. i could hear jiahui's wish, despite th fact that we were supposed to make a silent wish. hahaha. i made quite an obvious wish for anyone close to me to know, but i hadnt spoken a word about it. well, maybe it's naivity, but i'm hoping that that wish comes true, & i've heard that disclosing it would not make it come true! that fountain was open-air & it wasnt raining. but in th next three minutes we spent walking to th bus-stop, it started pouring nutshells. well, i got home without an umbrella but i wasnt drenched.. thankfully.
well, i know this blogpost's driving you people nuts.
goodnight then. i'm off to catch TRL on MTV since tmr's a holiday.
:D

happy birthday pot!
& kelleynne (:

hahahaha. hari raya today. no sch. tmr's gonna be th last of th enrichment activities th sch's gonna have for us. thankfully it's a wednesday. a well-deserved 0800-1500 butt-growing, sitting activity. wtf. lol. anyways, it's gotta do with poetry. i desperately HOPE it's useful cos i suck at doing poems for lit.

anyways!

i've got a new earworm. okay. it isnt exactly new.. but i've never realised how many bands & artistes did a cover of th song. AFI did a wonderful cover. wonderful as in - they achieved to sound exactly like th original version. now that is something not everyone can do! compliments to other artistes & bands who did a cover of th song. they sounded nice too, but obviously re-worked on in their own style. it still sounds appealing, no worries. oh yes! i have not mentioned what song it is! hahaha. it's just like heaven orginally done by the cure. th lyrics are so interesting. hahaha.

AFI RETROSPECTIVE ALBUM! okay. so yesterday i got freaked out over th 337/clandestine mystery they had set up & went around saying that i hate them. went out with my parents just now. john little bores me like crazy but at least it was much better than staying at home doing nothing. my father was kinda browsing for a document bag for his green one is getting hole-y-er by th days. then we had lunch at this foodcourt that i'd violently objected against. my father said he wanted to TRY it out. it turns out i was quite right. th food sucked. & i had to choke on fumes from cigarettes whilst entering it. oh gosh, they should ban cigarettes. so after lunch, we were debating whether to go to HMV (heeren) or robinsons (centrepoint). of course i won! HAH. & then i got that album! i was kinda struggling in an internal war over which album to get. in one hand, was the art of drowning & th other, AFI retrospective. well, th latter was cheaper by six bucks. knowing my father, he'd only allow th cheaper one. but of course, they themselves arent cheap. they were abt twice th normal price of a CD. gahs. & my father was pointing to th label that was saying parental advisory: explicit lyrics, saying eh! parental advisory! can try it first or not then decide? goodness. longwinded! then when we left, my parents were naturally attracted to OG. HEHS, now here, i got red & black eyeliner pencils & this box of eyeshadow. goodness. i think i'm going nuts :D:D:D

this sucks.
i'm wasting life away. school is hell boring & there is pretty much of a whole lot of nothingness to do at home. my sister's birthday cake last night sucked. i hate cream. disgusting frothed-up full cream milk. now that explains th sickening stomach discomfort.
today's deepavali. th teevee isnt showing anything exciting. MTV sucks with th lack of AFI. i've just realised that mtvasia is so lack of Davey Havok. i'm gonna sound all stupid & childish saying this but: life sucks. well, that is because i've nothing to do. idling away is so.. blearghs!
i think i might just turn into a pile of dust before school starts.

oh my god.

school holidays are gonna last for two months. WTF am i going to do. omg. this sucks. i want to go shopping. wait, not shopping for fun. i wanna get new clothes. my shirts are like HOW HORRENDOUSLY old. & eyeliner's running out. omg, what will my parents think of this. they're gonna think that i'm squandering money away as though it came easily. gosh. ha, & i want a drumset. oh mann, i wasnt expecting myself to think that way. i know they're expensive. gah.
okay.

boredom is suffocating.

i love drumming.

school was a total waste of time. tt alvin tan guy was okay but th whole course just bored us to shreds. i mean like staying in sch frm 0750 to 1450 just to sit on our asses doing stupid brain teasers?! thought yesterday was much better. th body talk was kinda funny though. nono, it's not THAT kind of Body Talk. this talked abt body shapes & yada. my class' instructor was quite funny.

aft sch, i waited for jiahui at her class for abt half an hour. willa & vanessa had alr left for sch ended at normal time for them. i think on th whole, it was quite a bad day for jiahui today. sigh. anyways, she thought she'd lost her wallet. lailing was nice enough to pass it back to her. haha. she had her chance of passing that good deed forward by reminding ying to pick her wallet up as we left th stone bench at th Newton MRT stn.

a lot of ppl got up on th same bus as we did. danielle, amanda, beatrice, ying, yichieh, kristabelle, jiahui & i were on th bus with ms soh too. anyways, danielle was talking abt her drumsticks being dark brown at how she used it. haha. then we had this huge debate over th travis&paris thing. quite entertaining actually. then everybody in th bus started looking to their right during th bus ride aft i made a comment to jiahui : eh, someone died hurh? why th white bag!? some guy yelled bloody fuck! someone's dead! i thought that was quite amusing? danielle & i had an impression that it was a murder. oh wells, whoever it is, may you rest in peace. but everybody was talking abt it. heads turned & chattering. danielle suddenly stood on her toes & yelled so loudly th whole group of us started laughing : HURH! WHO DIED?! i guess she thought we were talking abt some celebs again. haha.

anyways, jiahui & i were kinda late. willa & van told us tt guitar had been pushed forwards 1hr15mins earlier. of all days. it had to be th day we end sch at three. sheesh. anyways, jiahui & i chose this slice of tiramisu as his birthday cake. reason was simple: we're gonna make him fat :D anyways, it was definitely less amusing than th goldfish, but at least he wouldnt neglect it & it won't die.

so they started on practising th song for talentime {next monday}. joshua asked if i wanted to do DLS along with them. i'm like HURH?! i mean like i've never played th drums seriously before, i don't know a single thing. so i suggested he teach frm th basic stuff first. yeahh right, basic. he even neglected introducing th parts of th drums to me. i only realised that th other three drums were called tom-toms much later during th lesson when he asked me to hit it & i was like hurh? wtf is that?!

gosh.

then he started introducing beats & stuff. he got me to try out this beat which i'd played incorrectly but he said it was okay cos he was going to ask me to play it aft i got th first beat. so apparently, i kinda skipped th first step. lol. then he taught fills, which i got so confused at his explanation. exasperated, he demonstrated instead. then he made a random comment: eh btw, these sticks are good! my intended reply was actually : of course! GINGER FISH USES PRO-MARK! lol! but i didnt say that. hahaha. then aft teaching some of th beats, he said to th othr three: okay, let's start! & he pointed to me & counted & i was like HURH, I'M SUPPOSED TO PLAY WHAT?!

apparently he dived straight into DLS without telling me. gosh. it was fun though. but i tell you, crashing of cymbals makes you deaf. i think it momentarily deafened willa. yikes. it was fun though. getting of th rhythm wasnt as bad as i thought it'd have been. thanks to dance i guess? anyways, jiahui stayed back with me aft th lesson to learn it too. she had a hard time & kinda stained my sticks with blood cos her guitar string had cut her. i could understand why. th string was unusally sharp.

th other two left in a hurry, but we saw them at th MRT stn when we left. th two of us were in such an awkward moment. no elaboration on that. i just accompanied jiahui to PS' yamaha. she went to get th zildjian travis barker sticks. oh wells.

i hate th haze.

& dissers.
fuck you.

post-exam period means plenty of time to fangirl over AFI. HAHAHA. to vanessa, she might think i'm as crazy over AFI as willa is over miyavi & GazettE. right now, i'm watching this vid which is made up of this whole collage of AFI picts. i can tell she's biased to Jade cos there's this whole section dedicated to only his picts & marissa's.

okay that isnt th point of writing this.

i've just returned from my VERY FIRST grade eight class. whoo. demi-character drives me nuts. th steps are complicating. yan siang had gone with me. apparently she got very shocked at th way mrs lim teaches - very different from june lee. oh wells. she's convinced now that mrs lim's a good teacher & is less stressful than her. oh wells. we talked abt how ppl in crestar were doing. she was thinking if us dropouts strutted arnd her compound one day & get spotted by her. dang, it'll actually be quite amusing hurh? i bet she'll be like thinking omgwtf, why are THESE people tother?! & then th words that escape from her mouth would be like aww, how are you girls doing? what a hypocrite

OMG, THIS VIDEO IS DOING INJUSTICE TO TH REST OF TH BAND MEMBERS. they had so little picts of Davey & Hunter. i guess i wont talk much abt th lack of picts of Adam for he doesnt like taking picts. but oh mann, there was this pict of him holding a cigarette in his hand. wow? hahahaha. this idiot who made th vid made it sound as tho th someone in th band died.

DAMMIT, LOUSY YOU!

OKAY, i shall not condemn her any longer.

i cant wait. two more days. i'm gonna put these pro-mark sticks into good use!

Lock him in a cage and then, throw away the key

OMG, I LOVE THAT SONG. HAHAHAHA. it's like stuck in my head. i watched tNBC twice ytd. a second time cos my sis wanted to watch it. mann weeler, i'm gonna try getting my 'rents to buy it. hehs! oh btw, joshua says i can start drums next week.

seriously, i cant wait!

I can't keep up.

okay, school was alright today. maybe a tad too boring? but then again, it's post-exam period. th first half of th day was plain wasted. th 2nd half was spent watching a movie. SY & CO watched coach carter, PR & GR watched take the lead and my class were supposed to watch gladiator with SE. apparently th projector screwed on us, so we crashed in room 99 along with GR & PR. anyways, it's like my 2nd time watching tt movie but i never fail to be enticed by th dance moves. it's like hip-hop + ballroom dancing whereas step up was breakdance + modern ballet. coolness! anyways, aft that, we were made to write some reflection thing on it. actually, i have a lot to write but my hand was cramping up, so it was quite a short & crappy one :D hehs. then aft sch, i headed off to Plaza Singapura with peach & pillar. we ate at macs & then headed off to yamaha. we spent more time oogling at th guitars & basses rather than choosing drumsticks. thr was this orange drumset which caught pillar's attn. hahahaha. reminded us a bit of halloween! lol! then we browsed through th drumsticks. thr was this TRAVIS BARKER one tt peach suggested me getting. i couldnt stop laughing cos she wanted them so badly too. they were like WHITE, so i dont think it's very MY colour. HEHS. so i suggested tt i'd get a pair for peach's birthday next year :D then i saw Vater sticks! something was egging my mind. thr was something familiar abt th name, but i couldnt rmb. anyways, then having no experience whatsoever in choosing drumsticks cos i'm a beginner, pillar & peach decided to test my "fate" with drumming. funny ppl they are! what happened was tt they got me to shut my eyes & spun me around till i was this odd angle & chose to grab a pair of sticks. i guess it was not a bad idea so tt i can actually choose a pair tt i have a feel for th drumsticks (which i later realised is quite important to have when choosing drumsticks). so i felt some of them & made a grab for this pair tt felt quite nice? hahahaha! then i opened my eyes. it was a pair of pro-mark sticks. then i made a run for th counter & asked for assisstance. i asked them to recommend a pair of sticks for beginner drummers. guess what they showed me! TH VERY ONE TT I HAD PULLED OUT! so i was like, oh! IT'S THE SAME! hahahahaha. pillar & peach were like HAH! SEE! you're even fated with th sticks! how can you not learn drumming! it was so corny! so i paid for it & followed peach to spotlight cos she wanted to get some stuff. i was thinking abt th vater sticks on th way to spotlight. suddenly, i yelped. stupid peach had prodded me with th new pair of drumsticks. anyways, i then realised & gasped ADAM CARSON, i think, IS TH ONE WHO USES VATER SITCKS! IT SOUNDS UTTERLY FAMILIAR! but i was still cloudy & then went to spotlight with th other two. we looked at really odd stuff. pillar & peach bought zips & peach got an extra pouch thingy for coins. idea from me i guess? haha. anyways, then i realised i had a missed call frm pot, so i returned her call. & since she was on th comp, i got her to help me check th equippment tt Adam (AFI) uses. GUESS WHAT. HE IS TH ONE USING VATER STICKS. i started wailing & whining to peach & pillar all th way to th cashier. AHHH. confession: i WAS feeling quite upset until i got home. i was looking at th list of drummers using Vater sticks. so MANY bands i knew used them! i got even more upset! then i went to check Pro-Mark's. i felt slightly better when i saw Avril's drummer & Hawthorne Height's drummer using them. & i started going OMGOMGOMGOMG when i saw this: Ginger Fish - Marilyn Manson. I WENT NUTS. ECSTATIC. omgomgomg, he's like my FAVOURITE drummer. crazy guy who learns years of MM's old songs' drums over a weekend! AHHHH. I LOVE GINGER FISH :D:D:D mann, this made my day SO MUCH BETTER. anyways, digression from th drumsticks. higherchinese. i've yet to think of reasons to convince my father that i wanna continue with it. i think i'd better start cracking my brains now.

don't want to talk about marks.
don't like seeing people crying. well, i know how they feel. cos i couldnt help it but to cry when i saw them cry. wtf am i doing mann.. anyways, i've just realised that we've been trying to emphasise on how badly we're doing. yes. even me. i'm ashamed of doing it. isnt it equivalent to a cry of attention for sympathy? that's so lowdown. so i've learnt from tmr onwards, i shall speak not of my marks. depressing & demotivating.
right now, i'm feeling guilty, remorseful & stupid.
haha.
yi ting, you should just go die.

had ballet in th morning :D i'm feeling somehow refreshed after moving about rather than stoning at home. hehs. we did adv-found work today. barre makes my claves cramp. as min yi says: STRETCH-OUT. hahahaha. a lot of rises & releves. oh wells. i had guiltily made willa wait an hour for me to finish ballet cos ms ong ended ballet at abt 1210 & we had a ball to deflate for mrschan but eryn told me tt ballet was supposed to end at 1130 in her sms. so poor willa. anyways, we went to kinokuniya to search for her jap mags for her oh-so-beloved GazettE. visual kei are so COOL. hahaha. but i don't think i'm accustomed to their voices. they've got quite cool music vids though. & then at willa's house, i gave her a taste of a well-written blogpost, or could almost have been taken for a extremely well-written essay! well guess what, it was: davey's posts on myspace. HEHS. willa almost died reading them. obviously his usage of cheem words drove her nuts. HAHA. for every post, she'd definitely go HOW TH HELL DO YOU PRONOUNCE THIS & WHAT TH HELL DOES IT MEAN?! HEHS. anyways, i made her read jade's & davey's posts & made her realise th VAST difference between th two & WHY i like DxH so much :D hahahaha. willa was so amazed by DxH's ability to paint pictures with words. imagery. i bet miss christina chua would love his posts. SHOW, not tell, as she says. anyways, sch starts again tmr. i'm half-heartedly looking forward to it. i wanna see th lousy exam papers but don't wanna show them to my parents. for th past fourteen years of my life, every year it's th same thing - not doing well enough for them. i'm sick of hearing th same thing, but i wish i'd become numb to it. i fail not to smother myself with guilt after receiving every paper & end up getting all psychotic about it. EURGH. i shall not dampen my PIMPIN' MUSIC mood with these stupid laments about results. gonna go myspace-hopping again.

CATS LOVE NIKE SHOES.
LOL, does that make sense?! i just find it plain amusing. instead of being wasted away in front of th teevee & th computer, i went to do something productive - jogging. HAHAHA. well i was really bored & th haze has sorta cleared much more compared to yesterday & th day before. anyways, so i went running arnd th field. then i did a few grand jetes. thr's ballet tmr. i'm half content & half reluctant for class. hahaha. oh wells. anyways, whilst i walked arnd tt patch of green & brown, thr was this cat at th pavillion staring at me with its vivid green eyes. as usual, i left it alone. but when i was hanging arnd at th monkey bars, it came towards me. what's really stupid abt th monkey bar is tt it's so low tt my feet reaches th ground. th last time i was there, i think i was at least a few inches off th ground. well, that must have been a long long time ago. haha. so i got off th bars & became nicely responsive to its mewing. like anyone would have, i'd given it a scratch on its head while it nuzzled my pair of Nike shoes. i hadnt related what i did to this until i came upstairs again & talked to yichieh on MSN:
HEHS. i was dripping with perspiration btw. afterall, it was after running & stuff. but it didnt seem to get worried abt tt. then i was stretching out at th pavillion where it had been when i first saw it when it came again. so again, it enjoyed being scratched. th only thing that both cats & dogs like. hahaha. i bet it was enjoying th attention it was getting anyways. haha. then it jumped from th floor & onto my legs which were on th bench of th pavillion. what i had thought of at first was oh my god, this is scary. i'd never come so close to a cat apart from greyie {priscilla's cat whom i've not seen in YEARS} it nuzzled my shoes ONCE AGAIN & then diverted it's target to my shirt. i was wearing th old SC PE shirt. that was th oddest part. & so i continued showering it with attention. that cheeky little thing gave a grin of satisfaction as it closed it eyes & lay on my legs. & then i'm like oh shit! i need to go back. eeyer. I DONT KNOW HOW TO CARRY CATS. omg i'm a failure, i know. anyways. it tried following me back. i actually said bye to it. i felt so stupid. lol. hahahahaha. come to think of it, my mother shld have let my brother keep that kitten th other day when two of his friends brought it up here but stupidly scratched my sis -.- ANYWAYS.

change of subj.

THE AFI CONCERT AT FESTIVAL HALL, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.
goodness. it's so near compared to japan! japan's like 10hrs flight away but melb is like 6hrs away! my mother came in to interrupt AFI on TRL at youtube today. she said that my father was thinking of going to melb at th end of th year before christmas. first i thought NADINE! then i looked at th screen & was like
OMFG, AFI CONCERT ON TH 16TH OF NOVEMBERRRR.
i think i kinda freaked my mother out. HEHS. i was like WHEN ARE WE GOING?! she said arnd th 20th & i thought, DAVEY'S BIRTHDAY! & i was like omfg, shit, th ocncert's on th 16th! so i was like ma, cant we go earlier?? unfortunately, she didnt give a solid answer! it all boils down to WHEN my brother actually finishes NS. OH MANNN. he should finish on like th 8th or smthn! then th flight can be like on th 12th or 14th or smthn!! THEN I CAN CATCH IT. my mother was like why are you so anxious?! i jabbed at th screen & yelled THEY'RE PERFORMING ON TH 16TH! & she's like who?! my sis answered my question & yelled AFI la! HEHS. I WAS GRINNING LIKE CRAZY. i think i lost a screw there. then my mother gave that whatever look & asked you dare go alone? if i had enough guts, i'd have gone HELL YEAHH. ANYTHING FOR AFI :D:D:D

i just thought this looked kinda interesting. the leaving song pt.2 by AFI with the Nightmare Before Christmas. actually, both goes quite well together? hahahhahahaa. i'm not really in th mood of blogging. i'm wasting my time away on youtube.

anyways, i'm given a task by my father to tuition/coach my sis in her schwork till th exams. for ever mark above sixty for her papers, i get another dollar & if she gets full marks for any of th papers, i'd get $120. eh sixty will be easy la. but th $120 bucks. if i ever get it, i'm gonna request my father to let me join despair faction.

i'm serious.

as i said i'd been squandering my time away on youtube. had been watching some clips from Live Freaky! Die Freaky! i think i might just barf imagining DxH saying those lines for he voiced Hay, th gay hairdresser. too much sexual conotations & description. filthy. yet so oddly hilarious. oh wells. & i saw other clips of Smith & Jade too. smith is such a funny guy. he never seems to get hurt. even aft getting hit by a truck. like wtf! & i saw jade&marissa pictures. wait till i tell yichieh this :D

i don't think i'll do a long post. i went out with jia ying today aft piano. mr ho called jia ying & asked her to come with her mother cos her mother was having class after me. hahaha. aft her mother was melda's turn. it was quite funny that melda mistook jia ying for my sis. hahaha. anyways, we watched john tucker must die at cine leisure. we wanted to watch tt cos it's like aft exams & we wanted a really brainless movie to watch so that we could go nuts. i guess this is smthn tt i wont be able to do with th people in SC? jia ying was less.. withdrawn{?} - without ruici around. that, i guess, was because of an obvious reason which only th two of us & li zhi would know anyways. oh yes, li zhi was supposed to be pulled along. but apparently he had a chem test & didnt come. hahaha. he said tt my phone was on divert because he tried calling but instead of me picking up, a guy answered. if i'm not wrong, th phone got diverted home & my brother answered th call. oh wells. i don't know what-th-heck went wrong with my phone. jia ying & i did a lot of walking. HAHAHA. she'd actually wanted to get tt the nightmare before christmas cup for my super-ultra belated birthday present but forgot it when i decided to go to her house. HAHA. btw, th movie wasnt all-that bimbo. it wasnt as brainless as we'd expected it to be. there wasnt exactly a lot of bitching about. it was quite a smart comedy actually. john tucker's stupidity is beyond hopeless. talk abt creating a trend for men in thongs. jia ying & i were howling in laughter along with th rest of th audience. oh god, i think th last brainless movie we watched was the white chicks. LOL. anyways, i went to her house aft th movie. it's been two years since i've been there. hmm.

THE END OF EXAM-ANXIETY

but still, yesterday was really bad. i gave up on symphony 92.4 & played MM's CD instead. i fell asleep. but woke up again aft th CD ended. so i got annoyed that no music was being played, i had to go back on relying on symphony 92.4. & then i fell asleep again. until that annoying end-transmission that sounded aft midnight. SO, i woke up in irritance again & tried listening to 987FM & power 98. th songs were so grossly sweet-sounding, for they were playing mainstream pop, i got even more annoyed. plus, th aircon wasnt helping. it was spewing hot air {okay, it wasnt. i'm exaggerating, but it wasnt cold enough. you get th idea}. aye yie yie. i got so pissed, i got up at 0100 to change th CD in th CD player to Sing The Sorrow. AFI works wonders. i fell asleep soon after & all th way till i was kicked in th shin as a wake-up call.

i felt so stupid during HCL paper. i thought i heard mrs quek say that th paper was to end at 0926. so i furiously rushed through th cloze passage, four comprehensions & a summary question. gah. then finally when i looked up at th whiteboard : 0756 - 0956. OMFG. i was gonna tear my hair out. i rushed out & panicked for nothing. but then again, it was good for me so tt i could actually re-attempt th questions. blah. i felt quite annoyed {once again..}

anyways, aft th paper, yichieh & i left for orchard. we alighted at far east. so here goes what happened:
before. after.

hahaha. because we were released from school early, th shops weren't even open yet. we were kinda hoping to look at goth outfits. apparently, we could only find coorsets. oh wells. i think yichieh's leggings were so cool - they were red&black (:

hmm. then we were at missha's looking at nail polish - again. hahaha. actually, we were looking at th eye cosmetics too. it's like my sudden interest in these black eye make-up. whooo. then we walked over to galleria cos she needed to get a cheque wallet for her sister. {actually, at th end of th day, we couldnt find a single appropriate one} then from there, we walked to takashimaya. over there, i saw adria, keejia, kelleynne, weiqin & minyi. being a deaf person i am to ppl who call out my name, i never noticed they were yelling at me frm th fountain until yichieh told me. hehs. so i said hi. & then i said bye when yichieh & i finally finished contemplating about whether to eat aunt anne's pretzels/bagels.

as usual, i oogled at stuff in topshop & topman & warehouse. stupid expensive stuff, yet so nice. bleh. aft walking arnd & looking at stuff at wisma atria & takashimaya, we walked towards HMV. obviously i was super excited about it. third day in a row visiting HMV. whoots. then we started fangirling over AFI's CDs. i didn't wanna leave th 2nd storey but yichieh was kinda bored. oh wells. hahahah. aft looking arnd at th boring shops in heeren, we decided to take a bus down to city hall/raffles city.

by then it was alr lunch hour for those who were working. we had lunch at subway. turkey & beef. so meaty. i couldnt stand th cashier lady though. she was being so impatient with me. hey you, i dont patronise subway often, i don't know how to order stuff, couldnt you like guide me through! eurgh. because of busy lunch hour, some two other adults squashed in th table which yichieh & i had dominated at first. but we left soon after anyways.

as usual, yichieh has this queer liking for th city link mall. once again, we visited th HMV there. mann, in one day, we visited th only two HMVs that are existent in Singapore. that's amusing. whilst walking towards HMV, thr was this guy clad in black in front of me. yichieh asked if tt was goth, i decided tt it was more emo than goth. & i was proven right when we saw him again in HMV. yichieh said she kinda caught sight of a slivery stud in his mouth for a moment. hahaha! must have been a tongue stud! i was browsing through stuff in th metal section & blabbering all sorts of stuff to yichieh & then browsed th rock/pop section. i noticed th CDs th guy was gonna buy: the poison by Bullet for My Valentine & define the great line by UnderOath. HOW COOL. i went crazy seeing th two CDs, really really good CDs! hehs.

aft getting shocked at an Eminem t-shirt, we left HMV for th underground thing before esplanade. dance dance & dance. it's such a dance-y place there! there was like this couple of people dancing at th other end of th place. looked choreographed though. quite cool. th guy looked as though he was trying to keep a mohawk. coolness. aft like dont-know-how-long of dancing there, all sweaty & hot, we headed for esplanade! hahaha.

we were looking at th wire art exhibit. mannnnnn. it's like damn coool! those people who made it were like so pro. th contours of th muscles of th body were so detailed & accurate. it made us feel so ashamed of tt stupid wire-art piece tt we had to do in mrs canham's art lesson last year. ours were so pathetic compared to it.

anyways, aft that, we were just walking arnd, when this shop with acoustic guitars hung up caught our attention. so we walked in for fun. apparently this woody-red piano caught my eye. i practically went crazy over it. DUH OF COURSE, IT'S RED, MANN. then th saleslady was really really nice. it turns out tt she's doing diploma too! it was cos she asked me to try out th piano {which was very very very good btw!} & i randomly played a bit of thj gradeeight piece & she was like grade eight?! i'm like hurhur, last year. so she went oh! so you're doing th same grade as me! dips too! i'm like COOL. HAHAHA. yichieh was so amused though. then she tried so hard to brainwash me to try persuade my parents to buy th piano. apparently, she said she'd try brainwashing my parents if they came down to talk to her. HAHAHAHA. coolness! i don't mind having tt piano! th colour matches my bedroom door anyways!! OH MANN, NOW I WANT THAT PIANO SO BADLYYYY. & th best of all, it works, sounds like th grande piano & & & has th third pedal tooooo. IN YOUR FACE MR HO, YAMAHA ISNT TH ONLY PIANO (:(:(:

okay. so yichieh & i became bored & th toilet became our hangout. HAHAHAHAHA. lameness!
OMG, LOL. HEHS.
yichieh having fun

okay, say i'm bored. aft tt, we walked all th way back to city hall & then to th bus-stop to get home. i felt so.. hmm.. missing AFI? HAHA. took a random shot with th phone. & i'm suprised to say tt when i saw it, th first thought was..

"kiss my eyes & lay me to sleep" - Prelude 12/21 by AFI
& this.. kinda reminded me a bit of love like winter (AFI) & personal jesus (marilyn manson). th overly long eyelashes. EH, NO MASCARA INVOLVED. i don't know how th screwed up camera came up with that shot.

OH WELLS.
i cant wait to go out with jiaying tmr & to rub it in mr ho's face tt yamaha isnt th only piano maker tt makes upright pianos with three proper pedals!



IN YOUR FACE

tired.

i dont know what's been happening. i've been sleeping early & waking up at normal times, but yet i still feel so drained. if i say it was because of th exams, i dont think it really makes much sense does it? anyways, everybody initially thought that th history paper sucked. quite a few ppl couldnt complete it. some lost over ten marks for not being able to finish it.

but that was th mindset until th next day.

& i thought i hadn't studied enough for everyone else was still writing feverently on their paper whilst i was already stuck doing paper one of maths. nothing seemed to be processed. th questions seemed like a whole bunch of black squiggles, momentarily bolded. i was so sick of doing th paper alr. things got worse in paper two. i was alr stumped by th first question itself. it looked so crappy, i just gave up on it. out of th whole of paper two, i think th only question that i was truly confident in, was th last one - graphs. i was alr on th edge of my seat, about to scream & yell in Room100. aft th papers were collected. thr was a lot of commotion, & not to mention, tears. i couldnt cry. wanted to, but alr knew it was hopeless, so what else could i do? it was almost like a soap opera. as i walked along th corridor, almost every other girl was breaking down. i didnt know what to say or do. i just hope that th teachers void th paper.

that was cruelty.
& we thought history sucked?!

geography wasnt as bad though. & i guess i felt confident of it. also probably considering i dreamt of DxH & Jade last night. wonderfully calming. anyways, i couldnt wake up today tho. i really HAVE NO IDEA WHY i felt so tired. well at least th exams are finishing. aft tmr's HCL paper, i'm free. until i get them back for parents' signatures.

eurgh.

okay, yesterday, after th horrible math paper, i went off to HMV. you can call me lazy & not knowing how to prioritise. my aim was to buy Evanescence's the Open Door. in my opinion, it's better than Fallen. anyways, aft i'd paid for th CD, i routinely went to look at th magazines. having no intention to buy them because i'm not loaded. i saw amy lee on a cover of one of th mags & silently thought i bet they dont have AF.. & th next thing i knew, i was holding th Rock Sound magazine in my hands with AFI on it's cover. i was contemplating whether to buy it cos it was like sixteen bucks & once again, i'm not loaded. what made it worth it, was th free sample CD which had eighteen visions & other rock bands that i've never heard of. great exposure i thought, so i got it in th end. i gave my huge paramore poster to debZ cos i knew she'd like it. of course, i was so hyped abt having AFI on its cover & stuff, i just oogled at their pictures. yichieh got so high aft i showed her th mag today.

naturally, either of us would.
after all, it's AFI.

hahaha. so after fangirling for i-don't-know-how-long, i went to study at th poolside {once again} with th intention of preparing for geog. th next thing i knew, was that i layed sprawled over th mag & geog notes & textbook - asleep. really cant decipher how & why i became so tired. oh wells. for now, i shall watch th DVD i'd borrowed frm yichieh. & then probably try to catch a nap. i think i really need it.

oh yayeness, i'm gonna screw HCL paper tmr. th final paper.

die, leongyiting, DIE.

FOUR MORE FREAKING DAYS.
hallelujah.
& goodbye exam anxiety!
