oh woooo got back from bangkok yesterday. bought lotsa stuff =) they were all so much cheaper compared to singapore stuff, now that im back, i think everything is expensive. haha. i took a photo of the roadside hawker!! cuz like, how often do u see real hawkers hawking their hawkery ware on the streets of singapore? apart from roasted chestnuts. heh. i didnt really like roasted chestnutsies at first, but now that im well, more acquainted with their burnt taste, i think they're passable =p just your average nut.
of course, i didnt go right up to the guy, stick the camera in his face and snap away. it would have been infringing on his privacy. haha. i sneakily took a shot of him from inside the van thing on the way to the airport. the girls are pretty and the guys are dishy! so not fair =p like, every turn you make, there's a pretty girl/good looking dude round the corner. its as if everyone works in a modelling agency. there's so much beauty around them. haha.
the computer's all cranky, its so laggy and the words are appearing so slowly, but im a lazy bum, cant be bothered to restart the thing..haha. well, the exams were sucky, i must say. if i even pass math, i swear i'd jump over the moon and circle the universe a thousand times. i have a sinking feeling im gonna fail. im SO gonna be kicked out of alpha thingy. there was this impromptu workshop thingy today, at 9am, when all was still dark and favourable for sleeping in. but NOOOOO i had to spring out of bed at the wail of my alarm and dash to get ready. actually, my alarm is one of those clock radio thingies. the workshop was fun, except when i had to speak on this dumb topic. i sucked, anyway. =p impromptu speech is NOT my forte. the guy talked about pronunciation and all that. like what miss ow used to do with us. you know, the same stuff about udders and others and all. in sec 3, miss ow once made us say 'the other brother' one by one. REMEMBER, ALCOTT PEOPLE? and ever since then, ive become conscious of my 'th' sounds =D
i have this splitting headache now caused by i dont know what. i got home, bathed and SUDDENLY, i get this headache. a splitting one too. in fact, my head's already partially ruptured. its being held together by a single vein. THATS how bad my headache is. until last year, i never knew what a headache felt like! never really had one before. until now. but no worries, not when i ve got my handy dandy..axe brand medicated oil! heehee i used to love watching blue's clues, even until um, primary 6. *hides her face in embarrassment* i used to wonder what the guy really was like in real life. i mean, he couldnt go prancing around acting all kiddish with his adult friends right? i also used to marvel at the courage the high five guys had. like, to sing all those kiddy songs and dance those kiddy moves, it must take more than money to get em to do it. haha.
oh yeah, i kinda had fun writing my chinese compo! haha. weirdo, freak, whatever =p i havent written a narrative for such a long time, i miss doing em. of course, i'd rather be doing the entire thing in english, but hey, u cant have everything. i didnt read the first two topics, the expo-ish kind which i feel is boring and sianish. narratives give you the opportunity to describe scenes, people's expressions, thought, actions in vivid detaiL! i really wish gp had narratives again. like, what about budding young authors?! should we really quell all that writing talent and creativity just to develop expository writing ability?!!!! SHOULD WE?!!! god i hate retorical questions.
i just read bobby's and liying's blogs and i really feel the same way as they do bout the class. simply put, it has NO CLASS SPIRIT. we will never have the kind of on-ism and cohesion similar to that of 1805. its SO segregated right now, its like a school with different classes in it instead of a whole class. i dunno whether its cuz the majority are girls are there are many cliques or what. but thats not really true! i mean, pp from girls' schools bond just fine. is it because the second intakers feel like they share more in common with each other than us? or do they feel that we're not receptive and approachable enough..its just so natural for the class to be distinctly divided into first and second intakers. no offence to the second intake pp in my class who read my blog. honestly, i dont think there are any! except for liying, but like, liying's very sociable, she goes with everybody, and thats cool :)
i guess when 25 people are thrown into a class together and they all come from different schools (mostly), its easier for them to bond, cuz its like, everyone's on level ground and no cliques have been formed yet, so its like a do or die thing. make friends or be forced to live your school days in solitude. and everyone just..clicked with everyone else! i must admit, we had more chemistry back then than now. so far i only know of bobby and liying who feel like this, from their blogs, but i hope that we wont dwell too much on the differences and segregation within the class. i do hope class spirit is something that can be fostered with time. the situation may not be to our liking right now, but we can adapt, change, and make an effort to MAKE it right.
i have to do my chinese book review now. which SUCKS!! but the chinese teacher already has a black mark on me..its not wise to accumulate too many black marks too fast, you know. because of this, in order to protect myself from other black marks, i think ill do it later today =( procratination is NOT wrong.
