Swine Flu

Kingdom of Thailand, where my cousins will be this Labour Day, while I humbly celebrate it within the confinement of my 4 walls, grilling information about Britain's NHS, Northern Ireland's conflict etc and that's if only my determination sees me through it. I can't wait to get to Indonesia next weekend although it's just taking one step out of Sg. It beats suffocating here anytime. I need to experience the joy of life again.

Anyway, English MYE tmr, so I shall be good and turn in now instead of continuing this mindless post of no relation to the title which fails to interest even the writer herself, much less any reader. Check out Jason Mraz's for mindful ones. zZZZ.

P.S. I feel like strangling Nate!!! Nvm if you don't get me, you'll when catch Ep 22.

Btw,
Spankin' 16th to Turtle/Fatty/Azimah!!! \m/

Bahrain GP

Hope, hope, hope. It has been brought up so often, more than anything else.
But I don't see it. Once again.
Nothing will ever shake the confidence I've for him. But my worst fear is that all this disappointment is eating into him, at a rate faster than hope is replenished.

It's high time Ferrari WAKE UP, their mistakes and misjudgments are too much for Massa to handle. Again and again, he's being betrayed by technical problems, misjudgments of the team... He paid them all with all the points he deserved.


Hahahaha I feel so much better after typing this out. Just now I really felt like crying when I saw Button lapping Massa. I h8 button like shit!!!! But yes life is never fair, an awesome car with a lousy driver still made it to the chequered flag. Even though turtle said that chances are low, slim, minimal, I'll still choose to believe that it will happen. It's too soon to make any conclusions for the battle of the title. And sad to say, even Kubica is suffering in the same fate. Oh what has happened to our dear world championship contenders!

But in any case, I'm happy for Vettel. Once again, a flawless race.

Happy times, not too far away...

Term 2 Week 4

Pic: Ahhhh HK!!!

Astons @ Cathay with Siya today. Great heart-to-heart. :)

This week past in a flash.

1. V.low productivity and sometimes even zero productivity on certain days. My lethargy and TV addiction is getting the better of me. Yeah, I've also just rekindled an old interest- GG. But I can't be bothered, school is such a bore nowadays, if not always.

2. Experiencing the repercussions of global warming. HOT LYKE SHIT WEATHER gives me bad migraines seriously. I can't even think properly, much less pay attention.

3. New haircut-straight bangs!!! Change is constant, esp when it comes to hairstyles. And I don't look cute= ugly but adorable or like huan zhu ge ge plzzz!

4. Screwed up MT Oral to the max. The topic left me stunned, I was expecting something along tourism, IRs, F1 (haha hopefully) etc. To think I actually forgot Edison Chen in Chinese. Chen Guan Xi foreverxzxz man.

F1:
Tomorrow's Qualifying @ Bahrain. 1900 SG, I guess I'm unable to catch it. Anyway, Ferrari's not expecting a "different picture" from the previous races. If they don't score any points this wkend, it'll be their worst season ever in decades I believe. I don't care as much for Ferrari's reputation but Massa's championship is at stake!!!! I hope Massa does well this weekend, podium is definitely possible like last wkened, after all he's an expert at Sakhir. I h8 Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton even though I admit I feel rather sad for him, the mess he's in. (!!!)

Light On

Free Cone Day was still made possible in the end! Queued for less than half an hr, got our cone and went off like little happy innocent kids. :)

One biggest gift, or rather the many greatest gifts that I'm given in life are my dearest friends. Thank you for always putting yourselves within my reach at anytime, thank you for being able to read me like a book, thank you for always rekindling the dying flame in my heart. I'm really thankful for all of you and I love all of you with my heart.

3 words, 8 letters.

VETTEL FTW!

I'm so proud of Vettel! :) I wasn't wrong 'bt him after all. There he went for his second win in a car without the double-diffusers shit. Brawn might have the best car, but with one near-retirement driver and the other who had more women than wins in his life, it's really hard to go far.

I'm very proud of Massa too! He climbed from 13th to 3rd on the grid in less than half the race. Again, in a car that proved to be far below standard among the competitiors, without the double-diffusers shit too. 100% potential, but sad to say, Ferrari let him down this time round, they ruined him. Alonso was killed by the early pit-stop too. Arghhh! And for the next person to insult Massa, we'll not be talking anytime soon.

I did not bother studying for Chem Mock because it killed my B&J's Free Cone Day and it's gonna be open book anyway. I'm off to watch Gossip Girl and be annoyed once again by the reconcile of Nate and Blair.

V.V.V. Annoyed. Byezzz.

Sbf/ :)

Saturday was bad. The effects of constant insufficient sleep took its toll on me and I was barely keeping awake during the grand 53rd Speech Day. Hit HK Cafe with Kh after the event and the meal was like energy boost haha! Still, every muscle of my body was aching (aftermath of Nafa) and it seriously did not help that my period came. Arghhh. Crashed the remaining of my Saturday and got up to only catch Sixth Sense. I thought the ending didn't quite make sense even though it was a good twist. If Crowe was a ghost right fromt he start, why couldn't he see the other ghosts and why wasn't Cole afraid of him since he was so fearful of all the ghosts at the start?! The other ghosts were in their original state when died, but he had a coat on to hide his wound. Weird. But I like Cole, he's such a brave and cute darling! :)

F1 update:
China Grand Prix.
Rather disappointing for Massa and Ferrari again but I'm glad that Vettel and Alonso clinched podium. Finally!!! Someone from the non-"diffuser 3" teams and 3 at a go!!! I'm rooting for Vettel, Alonso and Massa all the way. Let's hope there'll be a miracle for Massa, for Ferrari tomorrow. And to think I was right at Shanghai Sinopec about 4 months ago, haha it feels so real. :)

I love you, Sbf! :)

Knowing

I promise if you don't contribute to the box office for Knowing, you're losing out and you'll regret it. I thought this was the best of the many recent end-of-the-world movies. I grabbed onto Kh during the few frightening moments and I cried badly when the Caleb left his dad and they did the you-and-me-together-forever thing for the last time!!! The Adam and Eve ending was unique but rather .... religious I would say. Heavy Christianity content there. But for the effects, suspense and plot, it is worthy of a thumbs-up certainly.

Fatty and I both got our hairbands. Hooray!!! Diva's service was way more than satisfying. I love them! :)

Pictures from today:









zzZZZZ

An Uphill Battle

“Conquer anger by non-anger. Conquer evil by good."
Dhammapada, v. 233

I hate myself when I've that lousy attitude and when I can't control it. Pardon me if I remain silent and keep to myself, it's just that I don't want to take it out on anyone. I hate myself when I'm selfish. I hate myself when I'm possessive. Nobody is a saint, but I want to be a good person. Sometimes, I wonder what kind of person am I deep down inside. But no matter what, I will try and conquer the ugly side of me. :)

Stress Is Bad.

6 upcoming tests + mountain-high pile of homework.

You'll never imagine the misery of having pure Literature (entire Whale Rider)+ Physics (entire syllabus) on the same afternoon, with an interval of probably quarter of an hour, unless you too are taking them like me. I feel like screaming out loud to the sky now!!! Oh well, I haven't started on any of those so I'll probably bury myself in books tomorrow. Anyway, I love Chemistry!!! (Idk if it's because of Mrs Chia) Chemistry is easy to grasp, easy to understand, well within control. Physics, on the other hand, spells big trouble.

Weekends are such a bore, all we did was went out for dinner as usual, without my cousins that is. Furthermore, there's no race this weekend. :( Okay, I shall turn to Gossip Girl now. Yes, I'm back at it again, for the dark side this time. Chuck Bass!!! (Hahaha Kamal!) With his limo and lingo. Hahaha.

P.S. Because of the empty life I'm leading now, there are no meaningful posts recently. :(

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Another late-night out with Manda. Caught the movie and stayed at Macs for 'bt 2+ hrs. The chick flick was surprisingly awesome. There were a few touching lines and scenes but the humour content was high. What a great way to end this short and torturous week!

My Archuleta craze hasn't died. "He's so cute!!!" is such a shallow statement but Archuleta is really cute 'cause he is a very nice and sincere guy, even though he rose to stardom at 16. :) :) :)

Jessica has a crush on David Archuleta!!!

I'm not exactly a big fan before, but I'm definitely one now! :) Archuleta's not your George-Clooney kind of suave, he's just CUTE. Haha CX said she has never heard me referring to anyone as cute since we have been friends. But he seriously does justice to the word "cute".

Yesterday was crazy, the entire mall was jam-packed with his fans and I've 2 crazy friends who were first in line because they started queuing from 10am in the morning. But I bet it was worth it. His smile kills. Well, I guess this is more than a good compensation for missing Kaiser Chief's.

P.S These are the clearest and most up-front videos I found on youtube but they're definitely not half as good as hearing him live.

P.S.S. Everyone reading this, comment below if you think David Archuleta's cute too! :) Hahhaa.

Malaysian Grand Prix

How much do 4 soft tyres cost?
Definitely not more than precious championship points which Ferrari has yet to gain any I reckon. And in order to scrimp on them plus of course overconfidence on their part, Massa retired in Q1, 16th on the grid position. Well nevertheless, Massa managed to change things and he climbed to the top 10 positions on the grid. He said that the rain would be like lottery, a chance, a hope to change the situation, so we prayed hard for rain. But what came was a storm! And the red flag was waved for the race to be suspended with 23 laps to go. Only never to be restarted again. Tada all hopes were dampened, Massa ends up 9th with no points at all. Is this fate or what?

Raikkonen hit top 5 during the first part of the race, but he landed up 14th in the end. A big joke too. He was so certain that the race would never be resumed that he changed into his polo, bermdas and slippers and got out to get ice-cream while the others were still waiting patiently in their vehicles, refusing to budge. Hahaha that was quite hilarious.

Despite all that, it was an really exciting race in the front, just that it ended abruptly with the least exciting results. None whom I support finishes with championship points. Massa, Vettel, Nakajima, Alonso. How sad. :( Haha but I wonder if Rosbeg is happy with his 0.5 pt, it's really hard to decide how to feel when you're in that position. But oh well, 0.5 is better than none.

------------------------------------------------------------

Ham Ham is an expert in winning, but he hasn't learned anything about losing, has he?

"I am not a liar or a dishonest person. I am a team player. Every time I have been informed to do something I have done it."

That was just another lie. What about then when he refused team orders to let Alonso pass him in Hungarian GP 2007? It simply shows how much integrity he has in him, having allow himself to be manipulated by the team when in previous incidents, he showed that he has the ability to defy orders. "Lying world champion", "Lying for a podium", "Pinocchio"- I can't decide which one sounds the worst for a headline, well maybe he can.

------------------------------------------------------------

Enough of the F1 craze, off to have dinner and start on the pile of chinese homework. I shall buck up because passing my own Mother Tongue by mere 3 marks is not just having to stand the teacher expressing his disappointments, but a big disgrace on my part. Especially when I have already given up Higher MT, this kind of results should be the least expected.

Step-Down

So proud, so proud of everyone.

Quivered a little during the speech, was kinda overwhelmed. I love Tracy's poem though, it was indeed what was expected of an A1 Literature student yo!!! Hahaha anyway, after the session, all of us went for dinner at HK Cafe and made a lot of noise. Manda and I missed HK like !@#$^$%#@! All right, I love these peeps alot.

> Manda!!!









Sbf= Childish

It's Goodbye Now.

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
------------------------

CCA step-down tomorrow. I wonder how it would be like.

I hate separation.
I hate the end.
I hate goodbyes.
But everything will eventually come to an end, all we can do is to treat the end like another start. But honestly, I hate new environments, changes and when all the good things come to an end so quickly. I must say I have looked forward to tomorrow many times during the past few years but I have never thought of this day to come so quickly. Time really flies. It's inevitable feeling sad but I guess I have come out stronger after all that I've been through, and it's time to move on.
