Oohhh scareyyy.

Scary are the days ahead. yeah i'm quite dreading every single minute that goes by. truncated lessons are indeed torturous. we go home even later now, even though we end at 1. mehh.

and the teachers are like rushing through everything. like a frieght train racing down the tracks. but i guess it's for our own good (: we should be really giving it all right now anyway, which reminds me - i shouldn't really be blogging now eh?

yet, though the next few weeks will be tough but i know God will be there to help me through it, like He did with prelims. (: so i'm not as scared now as i was. i can do it, we all can do it. jia you!

looking through my results again, i have to admit i really do thank God for it. it may not be the best but yesterday, after doing a feedback sorta thing, i actually realised that i improved a fair bit and i'm feeling pretty good about it now. i've taken a big step towards what i wanted to achieve and that's all that matters.

did a bit of cleaning up. (: yeah books all over the floor, everywhere... but the funny thing is, now my desk looks the exact same way it did before. don't know why i went through such trouble to clean it up. the only thing is now i can actually find me notes (:

post-prelim presents!!! NOT. ahha. nahhh they're just stuff i got after prelims. my auntie got me a Adidas bag! just about time! my old and fake one just went kaput - no more zip, strap broke off entirely, etc. can u believe that this is actually the first time i actually owned a real 'branded' bag? yeah i'm not for materialistic-ness but just a random fact. the album is Mcfly's Radio:active, which has been mentioned by me way to many times (sorry! was kinda crazy for it). it was ordered exclusively from the UK okay! so happy it finally came! one of the many precious things i own - which isn't alot. and i only know one other person who has it here in Singapore. so cool.

then we suddenly got so many new albums. my aunt bought the avril lavigne, jesse mccartney and westlife ones from china. haha. but 2 aren't mine, the jesse Mccartney and westlife albums, they're hers. but she gave me the songs (:

can you guess what kind of product these labels came from? bet you can't! they're so cute!

and another thing: what do you think a microgolf oven is?

hope it rains! i'm feeling motivated.

janice: haha! actually it hasn't been long since u last tagged lol! yeah truncated is intense. mr wee sweats more and more each day! he goes so so fast

Rachel is smiling.

loads of people have been getting mood swings lately. including me.

ahhh marks marks marks, grades grades grades, aggregate and points and VJC and wahhhhh i'm going to go mad.

today, VJC principal and vice principal came to talk to us. we watched a soccer match? the talk was quite cheery and quite fun until he mentioned the cut-off point: 4. *jaw drops*

i was like "okay, OUT!" haha. no VJC for me thanks. there's NO WAY i'm getting 6 points. absolutely no way. yup yup. MJC FTW!

yeahhh. my rollercoaster of emotions did a loop-the-loop from sadness, satisfaction, slight shock, disappointment to joy, excitement, enjoyment and just happiness.

yeah came back to find Radio:active in the hands of my sister and started to jump for joy. FINALLY! then me and my sister beat my brothers in soccer, 3 goals to 1, while my parents played badminton. good fun.

i'm so enjoying now, awesome new songs blasting from the laptop (:

TRUNCATED STARTS TOMORROW! be ready...

see youuuu later.

Not dead, just yet

you know, it's quite weird but if you stare at a word long enough, or say/write a certain word many many times, don't you often go " hey, actually that's a funny word and i wonder why it's spelt like that?". No? maybe just me then. haha. cause i wrote my name down on a piece of paper and ended up staring at it. then i was like " My name is actually 'Rachel' ? really? that's such a weird name" maybe exams are driving me nuts. but yeah sometimes i think we do take words for granted.

yesterday, today and tomorrow we have been/will be getting back papers and marks and yada yada yada. Me? Marks? don't ask. haha! seriously i much hate talking about my own marks because i always cringe and wince over how terrible they are. I know most people will like spill out all their marks on blogs and stuff but not me, for safety reasons - later i cause people to faint or something because they're so terrible! okay, joking! still, if you really wanna know ask me.(this sentence is redundant because it's not like anyone is dying to know my marks anyway)

i think my standard is like pure rubbish. i mean, today i was calculating a predicted aggregate for myself, being already super lenient in giving myself 4 A2s ( which i assure you will never happen) , and i admit i was quite happy that it came up to about 16. i wanted to punch myself. 16??? there's absolutely nothing to be happy about getting 16! i should be happy if i get like 10 and below, not 16! thats atrocious! sigh, see how far behind i've fallen, such that i'm convinced that 16 is great. *makes self chat "must get below 10" *

BUT i am quite chuffed about my social studies - got a B3 surprisingly, though i thought it will like flunk. i know a B ain't much but i think it's pretty good for me, considering how i ususally fail bad bad. oh! and chinese. got a D7 again but i think it's quite okay since i TOTALLY did not study one bit of chinese and i had absolutely no clue what the passages were on about. ah there i go again, i really shouldn't be celebrating these lowly achivements

and i have a week and abit to decide on my future...i hate these kind of decisions.

my room and desk is in such a horrid mess. how on earth i study like that? i also dunno. can't find a thing in that mountain. correction: make that 3 hills, i recently split the mountain ^

my brother that hangs out under my desk. don't ask me why

the brothers have been baking O.O two boys in the kitchen = disaster. but whatever...cookie anyone?

heh. okay back to work

later alligator.

P.S look what this site told me:

 

Mega-dorky light-weight nerd? haha! thanks alot. i'm no dork okay, at least i'm not that nerdy XD

jinyi: yeah! my sister just bought it but i dunno how much it costs. (:

cyn: nawww! u didn't what! u beat me in quite a lot of subjects okay!

Rip-off

Greed. seriously sometimes the greed of Man is really sickening - people do anything and everything just so it can benefit just purely themselves, without any regard for others at all. really disgusting. sometimes i really wonder what we've become, money grabbing, inconsiderate people. i mean with China's melamine-in-milk case, it's like come on, plastic in baby milk? i bet they didn't even think about how it'll affect babies - like kill them. And why? i sure they just wanted to cut costs of protein to put in the milk just to pass the standards. Grrrr.

anyway, today got ripped off at lunch as well. with all these people cutting costs left right. we went to eat laksa and porridge on mountbattan. to be honest the laksa was still alright, thought the portion was seriously reduced. but the porridge was like...ughh. first yes the portion was also severly reduced and it was like diluted beyond anything. really, 80% of the spoonful of porridge was pure water. does rice costs so much nowadays that they have to cut cost until like that?? and the price was absolutely the same and still pretty high.ah it won't be a national crisis but it sure affected their business. i'm not going there again. 

okay. rant over.

tomorrow. yes, i'm going to start dying tomorrow. haha. it'll either be because of the screaming from teachers and parents because of my horrid disgustingly terrible marks OR because when i see those horridly disgustingly terrible marks i would mug myself into my grave anyway. punchline: i really really don't wanna get my marks back tomorrow. yikes. thinking about it and how close The-terrible-Os are nearly gave me a nightmare yesterday.

but nevermind, today is still today so i'm going to cherish it while it lasts. yes. and i'm feel very queer rather cos though i'm dreading tomorrow and the days to come, there's still stuff to look forward to. for instance, Brisingr is OUT! yes, the last book of Eragon. i'm not a huge fan but still i reckon it's a good book. my sister is bound to buy it anyway (she's more a fan than me). ANNDD... RADIO:active (the album i've long awaited to buy) is coming to me. yes! i ordered it and it has been dispatched and on the way to Singapore. Hurrah! Cant wait for it.

sorry about my ramble. i'm going to try to study bio. *note the word try* Happy Sunday Y'all!

--

Cyn: yes! i wanna go again! haha.meanwhile u wanna go roller blading? then you'll become a pro! haha

daniel: yeah, horrid predicament... i'm so dreading it

jamie: no it's not bad! haha means i've been taking wayyy to many breaks in between studying to do what i want. so now i've nothing left to do. ahhh i'm going to fail all tomorrow... T.T

cherie: it's funny cos no one else knows what u meant by that tag! LOL. and i didn't say they were ' motivational posters' i only said they were funny! XD

Funny-ness.

it's very weird and funny actually. the whole of last week, the week before and the week before before last, all i was looking forward to was these 4 days to do what i want, and take a gooood hard earned break. then, the whole of last week i'm sure i took way too much breaks than i should, just because i wasn't supposed to.Then now, i've finally come to my lovely breaktime, and i'm already bored out of my skull and i've realised - i've run out things to do. strange huh.

worse come to worse, i'll just go study.

on and lighter and certainly more livelier note, i very much enjoyed ice skating yesterday! went with Jamie, Cynthia, Yug Han, Mark, Jermaine, Tate and Ying Tai. it was Brill! yeah. i've never been before so yesterday was awesome. skating on ice is generally the same as rollerblading cept' it much more slippery and you tend to slide sdeways and sometimes fall down. we had the whole rink (is it rink or ring?) to ourselves besides some pro figue skaters. haha! we all must have looked very funny, like a bunch of clowns - the pros were so graceful as they twirled and jumped while there we were in the back teeter-tottering, then falling down. hilarous! i fell once, got my jeans all wet haha! but whoa it was immense fun. Definitely gotta do it again. and the next time i gotta remember to get my camera out.

todays random note(s):

• i've got an epic song stuck in my head. that's just stupid.
• i have realised that while i always say i have nothing that i hate, there are actually quite a number of things that i do hate. Hmmm.

so, those with things to do, enjoys doing the things you are doing. i'll just get back to wandering aimlessly around the house.

Smile, just smile.

You don't have to have money,
To make it in this world.
You don't have to be skinny baby,
If you wanna be my girl.
Oh you just gotta be happy,
But sometimes that's hard.

Just remember to smile smile smile
And that's a good enough start.

So if you aint good looking,
Don't you let it get you down.
And if you're love life ain't cooking baby,
There'll be more fish around
Oh you just gotta stay happy,
So put away that frown.

So just remember to smile smile smile,
And turn the world around.
So just remember to smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
C'mon show us your teeth and what you got underneath

Cause everyones got troubles,
Cause everyones got troubles,
Thats the way the story goes.
You dont have to use hubble baby
To see what's underneath your noes.
Oh cause if you're feeling happy,
That's the way to let it show.

So just remember to smile smile smile
So everybody knows
And it will make things so much better,
When you're feeling low.

Just remember to smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
C'mon show us your teeth and what you got underneath.
Smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
Smile smile smile

You gotta smile smile smile
Just remember to smile smile smile
And turn the world around
Yeah

janice: haha! yeah. we 4A ppl work very hard. don't worry, i doubt u could have screwed prelim up as bad as i did :P

Collapse.

i am absolutely positively KNACKERED right now. Oh my gosh, 2 maths papers in one day after a night with little sleep is not funny. my brain couldn't function the ENTIRE day.

A MATHS = EPIC FAIL!

YES. oh wait, make that everything else too

Prelims = fail fail fail >.<

what's worse, we still have bio tomorrow. i'm gonna die later man. i'll die of exhaustion. i seriously cannot study bio right now. i'll just try.

"my mind is set to overload, it's a time bomb and it's set to blow..."

happy bio-ing you lot! (:

Dan: i know, but then is if said "november 12" it wouldn't sould like the song anymore. lol! but yeah, specifically november 12.

Well gutted.

yeah, i'm pretty gutted, pissed, irked and peaved. managed to fail both exams today. well judging from what i wrote today i won't be surprised if i do fail both geog and chinese. chinese no doubt really. haha. it'll be miraculous if i do pass. *hopes for a miricle*

ah well. what's done is done. what's over is gone. one hurdle over, 7 more to go.

sigh, i just realised i've missed, or couldn't watch it for that matter, the BEST football match ever. i mean, 2 of your favourite things in one match? totally awesome. BUT I DON'T LIVE IN UK! bahh. that sucks big time... *cries*

argh, whatever. think chemistry and amaths.

good luck for tomorrow!

Today will soon be gone.

Gone, like yeterday is gone,
Like history is gone,
The world keeps spinning on

and When Monday comes around, hah...it all starts. the utter madness. ohhh. Wake me up when September October ends.

but grasp the moment. enjoy it while you can.

weeeheee. i'm getting more boring by the day. and i just had the BEST steak ever for dinner. :)

Arrivederci! and goodnight.

Hello thursday.

i think i've slagged myself off pretty bad in the last post. hehe. i'm not that much a slacker. i guess i was really feeling mad at that point. still, i blame me and the wonderful internet.

i haven't done very much though. and it's already a little past mid week....blahblahblah

you know what? i actually don't have anything to say. i'm just tired, bored stiff of amaths.

just for the record, i think Back to the Future is a way cool film, despite it being really old - like 1985 old.

basically it's about this guy, Marty Mcfly (Mcfly! haha) who accidentally travelled back in time to 1955 cos his friend, some Doctor-mad-scientist guy built a time machine. yeah so he's stuck in 1955 and finds his parents who were young then and tries to make them better, getting them to meet and make his dad stand up for himself...etc (his dad's a total geeky wimp) and at the same time trying to get back to 1985. i enjoyed it quite a lot cos it's pretty cool, cute and funny at the same time. and the name "Mcfly" was mentioned only a gazillion times. hehe (: the story's awesome too.

apparently it was quite a big hit and i know quite a few songs that were written after the movie and of course not to mention there's a whole band named after the character's name... *big smile*

talking about songs, i wonder how my dad will react when i tell him i wanna buy $60 worth of music online... O.O i'm scared he won't allow me to. awww man.

okay. i'll let you get back to your books.

adios amigos...

ZW: i know lah! haha. of course i have. have you? slacker lol!

i hate me.

i'm supposed to be doing maths. but the blank maths paper is still staring up at me, even now as i type this out, which i shouldn't be doing.

gah, when will reality come and kick me full in the face? when will i wake up and say "hey! there's so little time, i need to study". i'm slipping into a fantasy, where stupid Olevels don't exist and where i am free to explore the very depths of the cyber world.

something's wrong with me. i just cannot register that theres only so little time till the final exam. and that now there's only 6 days standing between me and the rest of the prelims. oh help.

geez, i really need to lock up this computer. there's just so much you can do with the internet, with stuff like blogging, youtube, google... i don't know if i should thanks the makers of the internet or hate them. they sure have overly-distracted people like me who are supposed to be studying with the endless possibilities of using their wonderful network. or is everyone else studying and not getting distracted? yes? okay, then it's just me.

ahhhhhh. someone kick/pinch/slap me please and scream into my ear about prelims and exams and studying. maybe then i'll wake up.

i think i shouldn't allow myself to watch Back to the Future later. :|

see you soon.
