Gold, baby!

Friday, August 29, 2008

Oh, Oh, Oh! I finally, finally, finally, FINALLY got a medal! I mean, the first in my secondary school life & I am already in secondary 4. UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE! (: It's exciting, really. I got, GOLD! I've never really gotten a gold in my entire life, so it is exciting. Teacher's day celebration yesterday was FAN-UBER-TAS-TIC! (: I'm currently listening to Westlife. Basically, reminiscing. N' levels are here. On Tuesday is the start of N' levels. Malay Paper 1 & 2.


"Just a smile and the rain is gone
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
There's an angel standing next to me
Reaching for my heart

(: I'm so sleepy. I've got tons of homework to do. My N' levels is in 10 days & counting. Oh, yeah, Uncle isn't even going to America. He's currently in (of all places), India! Oh, the joy! (: It's so shocking because Uncle has never really been to India. Maybe Grandfather is lying. Oh well, I don't really know, now do I? I'm so annoyed that I had to come home kinda later than usual today because of Economics. I know that my Economics Prelims 2 is coming, but it's just that I really dislike it when classes start an hour and a half after school ends. It's too long. I was actually lost as to what to do because I could not go to the library, which is under construction. Oh well. So, I ended up spending the time with D. I like her because she's really straightforward in a nice way. She is after all, the President of the Student Council (SC). I'm aware that she will get far in life since she is a determined person. Anyway, I've done enough posting about someone else.

This week has been pretty mundane, to say the least. We went through all our Prelims paper. I passed all except, (obviously!) Math. Maybe I posted it before. Oh well. I need to pass my Math seeing that it is related to practically everything. Like everyplace you see/ look, numbers are surrounding your space. From the time, to the date, etc. So, I cannot really escape from Math, therefore, it is essential for me to ace it. Really ace it. (: Oh well, all the best in that as I honestly suck in Math. This doesn't mean I won't try my best to pass it. I'm really not one to give up so easily. So, I will give it my all. Oh, the determination!

My parents are out, having dinner (probably). I think I'm going furniture shopping tomorrow. All the old furniture have finally moved out. A distant relative of mine took it. At least it's not all gone. I was actually sad that I did not get a chance to bid farewell to the furniture that have been there since I was born. It was kind of hard for me. It's just furniture, but it's something I've relied on for so long for the comfort it gives. Sounds so twisted! Mirs was also sad that she did not get to bid farewell. I'm not the only one, okay!

It's way past my bedtime. I should be going off, but I do not think I would. It's Friday for crying out loud! Maybe I should wake up early tomorrow so that I would be able to finish all the homework on Saturday, then study on Sunday instead of cramping it all on Sunday. What a fabulous idea! (:

p.s: The highlighted phrases are supposed to be sarcastic. (:

Ohmy, Ohmy, Ohmy! I so badly want the iPhone. I'm not sure when I'm getting one, hopefully soon. Oh well. I'll be able to make it to Secondary Five with the results & grades that I'm getting. That's a plus. Still, I'm disappointed in my results because I barely passed my Chemistry paper. That reminds me, I've got to check my school's website. Hold a moment, yeah?


Ah, I checked it already. Well, I basically did badly for my Prelims exams, though there's an improvement in my POA & Combined Sciences. (: I just need to pass my freaking Math. Just give me a B3- C5 & I'll be satisfied, for now. Going to be short because I really want to study.

Toodles & Take care! (:

Earle Swensens is awesome! (: Yeah, I had a blast there. It was my first time there, like the rest of my family. We went with my Uncle & Aunt. Apparently, it's the higher end of Swensens. Anyway, I ate Lobster with Black Pepper Pasta. Oh, man, was it delicious. (: Since my meal was entitled to a Salad Buffet, I went to eat salad. I felt very healthy. My food took a while, so I munched on salad.

By the end of my meal, I was stuffed like an elephant. (: The food was uber fantastic. After our meal, 10.30 pm, we walked around. Gosh! was the place humongous. It was actually boring because most of the shops were closed. With no shops opened, the whole family went back to my Uncle's place. Might as well, I was all getting sleepy. After each meal, I'm bound to head to bed. Only I didn't when we got to my Uncle's place. My sisters & I watched the Tennis match between Spain & Serbia. Obviously between Rafael Nadal & Novak Djokovic.

I so wanted Djokovic to win. I mean, let him win! Nadal has won too many tournaments already. Oh well. (: At least he'll be playing against James something for the Bronze medal. Still.. so depressing.

Gosh! I'm so so so absolutely tired today. Thank God there isn't any major plans. (: Let my body system recharge itself. I'm still full because of last night. Gosh! Help me! (:

The morning seemed to drag.. Last night I couldn't sleep because of my maid. She was talking on the phone like no one's business. Her irritating handphone kept ringing the whole night. If that wasn't bad enough, the horrendous clock started ringing. And that was at 4 am! The only reason I was sleeping with her is because I'm sick. I should actually blame this on Mum, for ordering me to sleep with her, despite my protests. Oh well.. I've been awake since 10 am, I have yet to take a bath (you could prolly smell me from wherever you are:)).

I surprisingly (or not surprisingly) had no unusual dreams. Maybe I'll take a bath after posting this. (:
Meanwhile, I have yet to recover. Slowly, but surely. My throat hurts. Drinking water & sucking on Strepsils isn't going to help much. Oh well, better to listen to Mum's instructions.

Anyway, I've been trying to come up with a new blog name. www.nutsdarling.blogspot.com appears to be.. dumb, for me. (: After coming up with many names, I'll eventually stick to this one. Oh well, might as well be, cause I've run out of ideas. (:

I should be meeting my mate around 2 or 3 pm. That leaves me with loads of time to myself, which is a good thing.
OMGosh! I've been asked if I would want to watch Love Guru. Sorry F, but I disgust movies like that. Too much of a slap- stick.
Oh & I dislike Mike Myers. Jessica Alba should know better than to act in such a movie. Plus it's kinda controversial. It's rated NC16 because of Sexual Humour. Eeeewwww. Movie critics rate it below 2/5. Why bother? The critics probably have much more experience that we do in such movies & even they think this movie stinks. Oh well. No pun intended, though.

"Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?"

Daughtry - What About Now? (:


I so love this song, because it's so touching. (:

I am going to meet one of my mates, F tomorrow. It's been a while since I last saw her, last year. Both of us have always wanted to meet each other, but our schedules make it impossible to do so. Now, we finally have the chance to meet each other. This should be exciting. (: With any luck, Starbucks wouldn't be full. Evidently, that is where our get- together would be held.

There is an influx of posts because I've got loads of time to spare. Since there's no school until Monday. It makes me deliriously euphoric to think so. My days of toiling are halted, for now. It's the best time to mentally prepare myself for the N' levels that is ahead of me. Let me think of it as another obstacle that I can obviously overcome, but how well would I actually overcome it? Would it be good enough for me to go to secondary five?

I know this is not the time for me to start questioning myself. I cannot help it. Oh well. (:
I'm going off, to watch the Basketball match, Argentina vs. Croatia. (:
I shall not choose sides, because I don't know the strengths of the teams.

p.s: It's finally Friday (Movie Marathon!).

| 9:45 PM |

All right. I've just realised that my posts are getting shorter & shorter. Oh well..

I'm recovering from my bout of fever, which is a good thing. Fever reminds me of the colour yellow. My throat still hurts, though. I had the best sleep & the weirdest dream last night. Which I have yet to ponder over. I did however, manage to conclude that it's uber farcical. Might as well let it be, because it'll only cause me to lose many sleepless night ruminating on the peculiar dream.

I woke up fully satisfied, although I wouldn't mind a few more hours of sleep. I woke up at an unearthly hour, 12.30 pm. If it wasn't for my maid, I'd sleep through until God! knows what time. (: I procrastinated & finally took a bath at 1.30 pm. Can't help it.

I am currently listening to Big R Radio ^ The Mix, it's an internet radio station (for those living under the nutshell). The song that is being played is Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love. I changed my radio station to Big R Radio ^ The Hawk. Song playing is Alicia Keys - No One. (:

No one's really online. It's getting boring, except for the fact that the songs being played are my favourites. It's also fun listening to new songs. This'll help me expand my musical tastes, making me more well- rounded. "Loosen up my buttons, darling"  Sounds so wickedly naughty. (;
That's actually the whole purpose.

It's finally over! Prelims, that is. Though the N' levels are still etched at the back of my mind. Oh well, at least I can finally recover properly from my fever. That's actually a nice thought. I've got no school from today until next week. Bloody fantastic, no? My voice (if you could hear) sounds like Mickey Mouse. Or maybe Bugs Bunny. (: Sick, right? Today's Math Paper 2 was OMGosh! doable. I was actually happy that I could do most of it, except for the ridiculous equations.

Yesterday's POA Paper 1 was fairly simple & hard. I know I didn't study it properly because I was so sick. Lame excuse, I know! Though it seemed inevitable that I would fall sick. It's always been like that. Maybe I was subconsciously stressing my mind out. Might as well get it over & done with. Hopefully I don't have any major sickness during my N' levels or O' levels. Yes, I'm such a special student that I get to do both N' & O' levels at the same time. If only I was more hardworking, I'd get to skip N' levels altogether. No worries, though. I'm fine with this whole thing.

L & me are getting amusingly closer. Which is weird, by all accounts. I don't mind though, not that much. Anyway, I want to go out with E & K during this short 'break', but I highly doubt that I'd be allowed to. Oh well, they're not really my close friends. If I do eventually go out, I'd mentally prepare myself of the many misfortunes that may befall upon me. Sounds so literature- ish.

I feel so much more calm than I was last week. (: I want to study like hell for my N' levels, but the devil in me doesn't really respond well to me studying. Who am I to complain? It's the devil we're talking about.

I'm currently reading Christopher Paolini's Eragon. You should know, that there are many scenes cut out from the movie. For example; Eragon's uncle Garrow, isn't killed by the Ra' Zacs as shown in the movie. Another example; It took a while for Eragon to find a suitable name for the it (dragon), eventually settling on the name Saphira. Those are among the many things that have been taken out to fit the movie. Oh well, I cannot really say anything because I'm no director/producer.

Monday, August 11, 2008

I woke up early today. Too early for my liking, 9.00 am. Gosh! You cannot believe this, I think I'm going to be sick. I cannot afford that to happen right now, not when I've still got to sit for 2 papers tomorrow. POA Paper 1 is tomorrow. Math Paper 2 in on Wednesday. I know, no time to fall sick. Well, except for Thursday & Friday. Oh, the conspiracy. (:

This is becoming so random. Life is so random. Oh well, might as well be or I'll die of routines.
My eyes are tiny. I could hardly see what I'm typing. I couldn't sleep, hence the early rise. (: Now, my head's a little dizzy/ giddy.

Y & me are planning to watch a movie, The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Hopefully, I got it right. Oh well, I want to watch it, it's just that I don't think I would be allowed to go. It's worth a shot, I guess. Coming from the fact that I should study right now so that I'll be ready for tomorrow's paper & be allowed to go.

I'm logging off, now! (:

| 11:22 AM |

dumb blonde!

OMGosh! I didn't realise that I could actually do anything else to this post. Other than type maniacally on it. I could do this, "Hello, you!" add colour! Oh, the revelation! (:

Sunday, August 10, 2008

This is why I'm up this late on a Sunday.
- there's no school tomorrow.
- I think I'll watch the Olympics.
- still chatting to a few people. (conversations never seem to die.)
- curiosity. (see who's online.)
- listening to my iTunes.

Someone from my past life came online. Oh, how I missed him. He's not even from here. He's from across the world. A full 24 hour plane ride from here or maybe more than that. Go figure! Anyway, I miss him. Shan't reveal any more details about that. All I can say is his initial is D. (: I'll call him D from now onwards. Which I have been doing to all my mates (initials, that is).

The time is now 12.00 am. Hello Monday! The only reason the blog has not been posted since 11.30 something is because I'm chatting with everyone else. I'm currently Aunt Agony to someone. So, if you want me as your Aunt Agony, please do leave a comment. (: Gosh! You can either take it as a joke (a rather lame one, that is) or you can take it seriously (which is dumb, by all accounts). I'll go off now, I think.
I can barely see what I've typed. (:
POA Paper 1 on Tuesday.

I'll be seeing D online tomorrow, webcam (hopefully!).

Saturday, August 09, 2008

I know! I'm blogging on a Saturday. (:

Last night's Olympic Beijing 2008 Opening Ceremony was kick ass! (: It was uber fantastic. I mean, OMGosh! it was beyond what I actually expected. I think it's beyond words. I wanna watch it again. I wish I was actually there to really experience the atmosphere. I mean, it comes once every four years, so in my lifetime, I wanna experience at least 5 Olympic opening ceremony. (: That was random.

Anyway, Connect S'pore was such a waste of time. I was actually going to give it a chance, but the other school was such a pain. In the end, my area didn't even recite the pledge or anything. The chain was broken because the other school kept on moving back & forth. Shit, right? Oh well, could've just went home & slept. The sacrifices that students make.

Yesterday's Geography Paper was challenging. It was! I'm already bummed because of it. I came into the exam venue 10 minutes late. The reason, I didn't wear school socks. Then the vice- principal came & lectured those who didn't wear school socks. Actually, quite a number of my mates didn't. Oh well. I couldn't really be bothered, because it was kinda dumb. You've probably heard the lecture a million times, in different versions. (:

| 3:44 PM |

Thursday, August 07, 2008

OMGosh! BOO-YA! My team, won the Netball Inter- Class Competition. In view of the coming Olympic Beijing 2008, my school dedicated this week to sports. I guess it's to encourage us or something. Maybe fair-play, etc. What do I know? The game started off quite badly, though. Too many mishaps. Honestly. Oh well.

Firstly, one of the team- members kinda fell when a ball hit her face. So, she felt so giddy. Stopped the game for a while so that we could get her off the court.
Second mishap, it rained! Yes, rained/ drizzled. No big different, now is there? Oh well.
Third mishap, someone sprained her ankle. That someone was from my team! Panic, no? Might as well.

It ended an hour earlier than it was supposed to. (:
Oh & the best part is, tomorrow's my Geography Paper! (: Then that reminds me, today's Chemistry Paper was so freakishly hard! Physics Paper was so much more easier to do! And I revised for Chemistry more than Physics, okay. Like whatthehell, right?

Tomorrow is the eve of the National Day. Tomorrow is also the start of the Olympics Beijing 2008. Cool or what? Anyway, since it's the eve of National Day, my school will be participating in the Connect Singapore. Apparently, it's the first of its kind in history. So that means, we'll be part of an important milestone or something. Oh well.

Let me tell you a little something about Connect Singapore. There'll be many schools participating in this. You're supposed to hold hands to the person beside you. Then, we'll be reciting the pledge. If I'm not wrong, sing the National Anthem too. (:
The Guest-Of-Honour is... (drum roll, please) our very own President, Mr Nathan! (:

All right, back to studying. (: All the best, yeah.

Sunday, August 03, 2008

Oh Prelims have finally started. Maybe I blogged it on Friday. Still, it does no wrong to blog it again. I'm multi- tasking. Blogging, chatting & singing along to Mika's Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)

This is going to be a short one cause I can't multi- task for a long time. I went to Geylang on yesterday to buy my Baju Kurong. Kinda nice, but I prefer the white one with a different design. I didn't get to buy it because it was dirty. It had spots on it. Too bad, because I so fell in love with it. Tomorrow's paper is Social Studies & Mathematics Paper 1. You should also know, the quality of my Social Studies is getting worse. Which is sad, because I love the subject loads. Oh well, I hope I do this well this time around.

Dad's coming back on Tuesday! That's something to be happy about. Mum feels better already.

Keep your fingers crossed! (:

| 8:42 PM |

Friday, August 01, 2008

Mum's sick. Really sick. The usual fever sick. So, I guess it's not all that bad.

Yesterday's English Prelim Paper 1 & 2 was hard. Actually, Paper 1 was hard. Paper 2 was not as hard, but hard. I kept in mind what my English teacher told me about my mistakes. Now, I'm scared that I 'lifted' the answers a lot. Darn! Just when I thought I'd really pass this one with flying colours. Paper 1 is over 60. I plan to get at least more than 49 marks. (: Paper 2 is over 80. I plan to get a lot more than what I got for MYE. Honestly! (:
Hopefully, I'll be able to achieve that.

I miss Dad. He's away. Wonder how he's doing. Hopefully he's fine. Yesterday he called, but I didn't get to talk to him because he was in a rush. Only Grandfather & Uncle did. Oh well..

I've still got loads more papers to finish before the Prelims is over. A lot more. Gosh! It sounds so depressing.

Well, tonight's movie pick is (drum roll, please) AKEELAH & THE BEE! (: Oh, do I so love this movie. It's so funny. (: Ah well.. I'm watching it NOW! Good- bye.
