Yesterday's joke:

Dot/Liz: *nattering in the car as we drove towards home where Liz would be dropped off and Dotty would go off to Parkway to pick Mommeh up*

Dotty: Blahblahblah... Koalas eat bamboo.

*moment of silence*

Liz: *indignantly* No they don't! Pandas eat bamboo. *stares incredulously at Dot*

Dotty: Oh yah. *roflmaos* Right. Okay wait wait, Koalas eat...

At this moment Lizzy butts in, as the car comes to a stop in front of our front gate...

Liz: *moment of realization* Eh, I forgot to bring my keys! *looks imploringly at Dot*

Dot then suddenly turns to face Liz, jabs a finger at her and goes...

Dotty: YOU CALIPTUS!!

*moment of confusion ensues*

What is running through Lizzy's head: Is she pissed at me cause I didn't bring my keys? *stares at finger waggling in front of her* Whats a Caliptus?

Split second later.

*both stare*

Liz: OH. Eucalyptus. *realization dawning* Like, Koala food. Oh.

4th August!!!

Charlie! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Johnny Depp! Freddie Highmore! Loads of chocolate and wonkiness for the whole family! XD XD XD *can't wait*

Anyway, had dinner at Big Fish, somewhere along the Siglap stretch, and it was unexpectedly disappointing. Shall give a proper review when I have the time.

What I want to talk about, is dessert!!! :) Ate at Cheesecake Cafe with Sis. Yeah, it was just the both of us and Dad. Liz made the mistake of asking Dad along cause she was under the impression that Mom would be present. However, as our original plans were to go to Megumi (some Jap restaurant along the same stretch), Mom, a fan of few Japanese foodstuffs except wasabi and nuts, decided to go for a.. massage. So yup.

Liz and Dotty got stuck with Dad. Megumi was closed, so we walked down to Big Fish, where dinner was questionable and not worth the $80++ as stated oh-so-shockingly on the bill.

Cheesecake Cafe however, was absolutely yummy. X3
Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake.
Absolutely laavly!~~~ XDD Highly recommended. Good ambience, comfortable chairs, generally homely feel if not a bit too cosy.

It was a pity that there was only two of us, so sharing just that one slice was more than enough for two people to handle. Everything looked so devourable.

They open from 4.30 onwards, except on Sunday where they open at 3.30, I think. And they're open till midnight, 12.30AM on Fridays and Saturdays, so go check it out if you have the opportunity to. *nods head enthusiastically*

Another good food place is Werners.. (Sis says I should just turn my blog into some food column. I might yer know, my area does, after all, offer quite an array of good food.) if you enjoy German sausages, which has to be one of the best edible things life has to offer. *lol* Another good place for 'em big, juicy sausages is Brewerkz, down at Riverside Point or something. Yer know, opposite Liang Court. VERY GOOD. And the beer there, VERY FRESH. =)

Hehe. Okay, shall stop rambling about food.. for now. Up for next week is Carl's Jr burgers, which are reputably good. Mom and Sis want to bring me some place called the Canteen which is highly recommended as well.. Hmm. Yeah, think we're to go to Werner's and Gelare this coming week as well. Lol!!

Alright, but this is of course, Liz and Dot's tentative weekday plans to hang loose after school/work and all that jazz..

You have no idea how much I love my Sis. *sighs contentedly*

Really thank God for giving me a sis like.. well, Sis. She rocks. And she rumaged through my folders! Yewargh! And stole my MSN avatars!
Lol. Still, I love her LOADS AND LOADS AND LOADS.. .


And we've just changed to Digital Cable. Liz feels slightly sua ku. But very cool lei! Can watch channel 56 for 2 weeks. *lol*

Our Sorimachi! *swoons*
Lol.

Well well.

Its days like these I'm glad that I have God.
Because if I weren't sure of where I stood with my Father, I would still be bothered about what certain individuals think about me.

As quoted, "He who cannot understand your silence will most likely be incapable of understanding your words."

Blog traffic has been slow lately. I take that as a positive sign that the gossip mongers have decided to perhaps, get a life or find some other form of entertain to giggle and gasp over.


Shall post pictures of my Bleach figurines later. *loves*
Think we're going out for dinner. Jap! :D:D:D (Lizzy has been having a craving for Jap food lately.)

And Flossy and Krys run oh-so-fast. Like I'd ever get a 13 minute timing for my 2.4km run. (I mean honestly, not that I want it or anything. 15minutes would prove miraculous enough. XD)

OMG SO EXCITING!!

Am back from the Publications meeting, and the revamps for my church's monthly magazine is oh so coooool. *is excited*

Shall elaborate more soon.

Anyway, I have absolutely fallen in love with the toy shop on the 3rd floor of Suntec City. Popped in after the meeting and ended up spending SGD$45 on four Bleach figurines. Hitsugaya(!!!), Rukia, Ichigo and Renji with his hair down. Wanted to get the second series of Bleach figurines, but they were a bit steep. Priced at SGD$50 even though Hobby Point (just opposite this particular shop) sells it for SGD$36. Was raving with one of the shop assistants about Bleach. And he was showing me all the new products and everything. So exciting. Shall get more Bleach merchandise on Sunday.

*lol*

Okay lah.
*bounces about excitedly*
Pictures.
Next time.
w00h00.


[edit 11.40PM]
My goodness! I came across this on someone's blog, and I thought it was so cute. So I just had to post it.

Lord Please Bless My Computer

Every night I lie in bed
This little prayer inside my head
God bless my mom and dad
and bless my children
and take care of my spouse
who brings me so much joy...

God, there's just one more thing
I wish that you would do
if you don't mind my asking
to bless my 'puter, too??

Now I know that it's not normal
to bless a small machine
but listen just a second
and I'll try to explain...

You see, that little metal box
holds more than odds and ends
Inside those small components
rest a hundred loving friends.

Some it's true I've never seen
and most I've never met...
never shaken hands or
ever truly hugged, and yet...

I know for sure they love me
by the kindnesses they give,
and this little scrap of metal
is how I get to where they live.

By faith is how I know them,
Much the same as I know You.
I share in life it brings them,
So if it's OK with you...

Just take an extra minute
from your duties up above...
to bless this little hunk of steel
that's filled with so much love.

So God, Please Bless My Puter...

Alright.

Back from TJC.

We got third, lost to TKSS (1st-runner up) and AHS.

Good job to Ang Simin, Vonnie and Bimzz.. (:
The questions were tough, Mr Ang didn't know 'em answers, and of course, neither did Lizzy by any means...

Got a nicer certificate of participation this year, mostly because its laminated this time around.
Another similar plaque thingy, though this time it says 'Third'. (We were Second last year... not that any of want to be reminded of this aye?)

Moo.
Don't be too sad okay guys? You tried your best, and that matters the most. (:


Mr K. Ang says he's been to my blog.
So uhm, hi Mr Ang! if you actually see this. (Not that I believe any teacher would have the amount of time or energy to faithfully read uninteresting details of their students' lives on a regular basis.)

Come to think of it.
He did ask me a very important question.
"So who is taking over your role as the Bistro's webmistress?"

Hmmm.

ph34r t3h song!

Oh duuuud.

Just rediscovered some old CDs earlier, and mannnn, how I absolutely adore these old Japanese drama serial themes. *hearts*

How I remember the days that Sis and I used to faithfully plonk our butts in front of the telly to follow every detail of Love 2000, Ice World... Ehm ehm.. what was the piano player one? I really loved that one. GTO. Food Fight. KINDAICHI. *hearts*hearts*hearts* Everything. *bounces*

Takashi Sorimachi.
Takashi Keneshiro.
Takuya Kimura.
Jun Matsumoto.

*refrains from drooling all over the tabletop*

Oh yes. Back when we still chased after the fleeting backs of pretty Japanese bishounen and kept handy tissue boxes by our sides lest we found the need for them halfway through the dramatism of the shows, and how we always hid behind the cushions and pretended to read 8Days upside down during the scarier bits of Kindaichi... Be still my beating heart!~

Alas. I can't remember where all the songs came from and their respective titles anymore. ;__; And they are so verily unlabelled on the CD. *nods head ruefully*

Anyway, the only thing I'm quite sure of is that the current one came from the piano playing one. Wargh. If only I could remember the name of that particular serial....
OMGOMGYES!
Long Vacation.
AHA!
*nods head enthusiastically*
*imagines all the horrified look on the face of her blog readers*
*horrified look reads: Who are you and what did you do to Lizzy?*

Just allow me to fangirl occasionally can?
Even Sis still goes ga-ga over Sorimachi. At her age. Much less at mine.



Anyway!
Didn't do much today. Attempted to study but ending up sleeping quite a bit. Shoik can. Wonderful weather. Feel so utterly bouncily refreshed now, so that may possibly account for the excess energy that I'm raving to release right now.
TJC Humanities Quiz tomorrow. Get to leave school at 11.30AM. So early! So technically speaking I'd only be using my brain during one period tomorrow. In technical terms.

First period's Chem, from which I'm blissfully spared. Second's Amaths. Third's Chinese, and you can't really count Chinese, especially not after the Chinese O's. After recess's English, and we're only staying for 25 minutes of that. Make that 20 or 15 minutes, judging by the fact that I've never remembered Mr Ang to be a particularly punctual individual.

Alright, pray for us okay? Lol!
We came in 2nd last year, owing to the fact that there were only four participating teams and two of them were from TKSS. The other was from DHS. *coughCOUGHcough* Do the math.

Presumably there'd be more schools this year, though of course, the response wouldn't probably arrive in droves like that of the VJC quiz, maybe that wotshisname will be there.. Hmm. Gabriel or something. An aquaintance of mine from RI (we used to take German together back in Sec One) who represented his school at VJ.

Alrightehhh, more words of wisdom.

Doesn't feel like a Monday night.

Oh well, perhaps its the fact that everyone's home for once, a rare occurance on weekdays. Not something that happens regularly on the weekends either.

Oh well. I'm absolutely in love with Potterpuffs.
And am seriously contemplating a more stable move to Livejournal since I've been spending such a lot of time there lately.

Once I manage to work my way around the layout system.

Mueh.

Alright, sleep then.

Once again, plugging Kitz's blog. Because the words he's written echoes so soundly in my own head.

I refuse to be kiasu.

I refuse to sacrifice my sleep.

Because I'm not going to suffer. And I'm not going to go through strife.
And I'm not going to rely on my own 'cleverness' to get through the O' Levels.

Whatever brains I have, He gave them to me. And I shall use them for the glory of His kingdom.

He cannot give me anything less than the best, and he will see me through with the straight As that I've already prayed for since the beginning of the year.



(:

Anyway. Had a significantly unproductive afternoon, realized that I've rather forgotten some parts of Kinematics.
Ate at Cartel with Rene. She wanted Thai Express but it was closed. Hah. So we ate at Cartel, which was conveniently next door. Plushie seats are love. Wouldn't have left if Rene didn't want to go home so badly to watch her seven o' clock Chinese show. I repeat. Chinese show.

We were cracking a lot of lame jokes and I very almost nearly hurtled into a drain. Am really full anyhow. Though all I ate was a salad and Rene had some sort of horrible seafood platter with the oiliest selection of munchies ever. And Rene took so much bread. Speaking of which, bread with olive oil = bagus!

Of course Rene prefers butter.. *makes a face*
You should try olive oil. Its very pleasant, very nice, and significantly healthier.

[edit 11pm]
Okie Rene says to stop making her sound like a pig. Rene is not a pig. Lizzy just tends to be excessively critical of things that come served on platters. *beams*
And Rene is not fat. She merely has all her curves in the right places. *nodnod*
[/edit 11.01pm]

Do I sound like some sort of health freak? I'm just very fond of veggies. And salads. Salads aren't horrifying slices of lettuce, tomatoes and pathetic slabs of cheese you know. I had mine with chicken, and it tastes good. Mm.

And I'm fond of bread as well, and would have walked over to Werner's to pick up some nice wheaty loaves had Rene not plonked such an almight chunk of Cartel's free-flow bread selection in front of me.


SOOO!
Food recommendations.
Sis says the cheesecake at The Cheesecake Cafe, which is in Siglap, not more than 200m away has good cheesecake. And a friend of Sis was actually appalled by the fact that we, having lived in this area for a good, thirteen, fourteen years, have never eaten much of the food that surrounds our immediate neighbourhood.

It is said that the Jap restaurant, further down near Pasta Fresca, is good. Any word on it? *glances around*


Still. Anyone wants to make a trip down to The Cheesecake Cafe anytime soon? They only open in the evenings and night. Lol.

Okie dokes.
I leave you with a few wise words.
Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweek!

Sermon was great today. (:

Tell The World

Don’t want to stand here and shout Your praise
And walk away and forget Your Name
I’ll stand for you if it’s all I do
Cause there is none that compare to You

Cause all I want in this lifetime is You
And all i want in this whole world is you

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that he died for them
Tell the world that he lives again

No longer I but Christ in me
Cause it’s the truth that set me free
How could this world be a better place?
But by thy mercy and by thy grace

C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You

Tell the world that Jesus lives
Tell the world that, tell the world that
Tell the world that he died for them
Tell the world that he lives again

C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
Tell the world that
Tell the world that
C’mon, c’mon we’ll tell the world about You
Tell the world that
Tell the world that
About You



Alright, I'm sure no one wants to know about my little shopping idiosyncracies, Cedele Depot lunch or traumatizing cycling experience at East Coast.


Good things are happening.
And I know I'm blessed. (:

So I'd let my words be few.
Jesus I am so in love with you. (:


And I'd standddd.. in awe of youuuuu, Jesus.


Dumdumdum!
I have no idea what I'm high on.
I'm quite sure I didn't have all that many doses of chocolate today other than a quarter of Rene's MacD's sundae. After the O's I doubt I'd ever want to step into any more fastfood joints till school reopens or something.

Anyway I might be missing prom cause we might take an earlier flight to LA.. Mom promised that we could go to Tokyo so that Lizzy could indulge in a little shopping spree. Anyone want to take orders? Lol. But thats tentative. Some rescheduling has been in order lately and we might be going to Hong Kong instead.. Anyone want anything from there?

L.A.! Happifying. Lots of theme parks = TONS AND TONS OF ROLLER COASTERS! = VERY HAPPY LIZZY. X)

Like Sis says, "So exciting, haven't book already so excited."

HAPPY!
Lol. Haven't been overseas since our 2003 trip to Scandinavia. But ever since our Florida trip in 1999, I've been aching to go back to the US and all the bee-yew-tee-ful roller coasters the States has to offer. *___*

Lol. Alright, I'm just being nutty. As Mel seems to imply.

*waltzes around the room*

Will attempt to be sane later tomorrow.

Am listening to United Live's More than Life album right now. All the songs are so r0x0r that I almost couldn't decide on one to play on bloggie. *pats her 'ickle blog affectionately*

United Live - All Day

I don't care what they say about me
It's all right, all right
I don't care they think about me
It's all right, they'll get it one day

I love you, I'll follow you
You are my, my life
I will read my Bible and pray
I will follow you all day

I don't care what it costs anymore
Cos' you gave it all and I'm following you
I don't care what it takes anymore
No matter what happens I'm going your way

Chorus:
All Day
All Day now
All Day
I'll follow You

Bridge:
Anyone around can see
just how good you've been to me
For all my friends that don't know you
I pray that you would save them too

Hmmm.

Two years ago I vaguely remember Kitz writing an entry, on one of his older blogs, about saying goodbye to his Chinese tuition teacher, who had been with him for quite a number of years, and unknowingly having reached the end of his secondary four life realizing quite suddenly, that he was actually going to miss his tutor very much.

Well, I've just finished the last official session with my tutor till the results are out, which will then decide whether or not I will ever see her again for a very long time.

Its been three years.. and no matter how many times during these recent months I wished so hard for Chinese to be, at least for the moment, out of my life. All the sessions I dozed off in, not paid attention to, wished so dearly to end... I tried to make tonight's last for as long as I could, even if it was only an hour.

*smiles ruefully*

Oh well.
Its been very good having her, and I will miss her very very much.


Alright, so here are the grades for the block CA, I'm not devastated or anything cause I know I didn't quite do any sort of proper mugging, but its never nice to see such unglorious grades anyway...

English - A2
History - A1
SS/Lit - (Not gotten back lit yet, but since SS was a ridiculously pathetic 10/25, even a 20/25 for Lit would only scrape me a B4.)
Biology - C5
Amaths - C5
Emaths - C6
Best L1R5 manageable (*cringe*): 23


And yup, thats it. Its finally dawned on me on how important it is that I score for everything since its quite apparent that I've only seven subjects left after having pleaded with the school to allow me to drop that abhorrence called chemistry. And of these seven subjects, six are needed for a prettiful L1R5 and the seventh subject is Chinese. (See my point here, anybody?)


Alright, now that I see the horror of my EMATH marks.. 36.5/70. Horrorhorrorhorror.
Lizzy has decidedly woken up to the fact that yes, she needs to study. *fakes a horrific sniffle*

Oh well. Didn't think I did that badly for someone who studied about four times as little as most of the people who didn't do as 'well' as me, no offence to the people who studied. o_O;;

Just that, well yes, Lizzy realizes that its time to study.

God give me the strength and peseverence. AND SELF-DISCIPLINE.. to sit down and not fall asleep. Lmao.

Ooooo this is so terribly annoying!

I promised myself (and Mellymooo) that I would make Bio notes for fast, efficient last-minute revision and whatnot (you are welcomed to roll your eyes at this point of time) but its not working!!!!!!

*scowls*

Lizzy's only idea of studying has long been 'reading the textbook' which is well, a method that works on most occasions when she bothers to read properly. But.. notes! Notes!

HARRUMPPP.

NYERR..

WARRGHHH.

Am in love with Hillsong's latest album, God He Reigns.

Track 11. All For Love

All for love the Father gave,
For only love could make a way.
All for love the heavens cried,
For love was crucified.

Oh how many times have I broken your heart,
But still you forgive, if only I ask.
And how many times have you heard me pray,
Draw near to me.

Everything I need is you,
My beginning, my forever.
Everything I need is you.

Let me sing all for love,
I will join the angel song.
Ever holy is the Lord,
King of glory,
King of all.

All for love a saviour prayed,
Abba Father have your way.
Though they know not what they do,
Let the cross draw man to you.


I think the lines of this song are really beautiful, especially the last stanza. The lyric compilation might be somewhat off cause I typed it directly from the CD booklet. Apparently their latest album is so new that I have been unable to find any of the lyrics for their new songs online.

Other songs that haveeft a particular impact so far are Salvation is Here and What the World Will Never Take, the latter being a slightly older song from a previous album, but still fiercely close to my heart.

Track 14, What the World Will Never Take
With all I'm holding inside,
With all my hopes and desires,
And all the dreams that I've dreamt.

With all I'm hoping to be,
And all that the world will bring,
And all that fails to compare.

You say you want all of me,
I wouldn't have it any other way.
I've got a saviour, and He's living in me.

Whoa!
I wanna know you,
I wanna know you today.

You're the best thing that has happened to me.
And the world will never take,
The world will never take you away.

Woo hoo. Think I'd remove the HBP spoilers after this, I'm done marring everyone's preciously unspoiled eyes. xP

Grades are well, as expected.
So far..
Hist - 80%
SS - 40%
Bio - 57.5%
Amath - 55%

EL, Emath and Lit left.
Ohwell.


Anyway, time to plug some perfectly adorable links!

Potterpuffs! These have to be the cutest things to have emerged from the Harry Potter fandom lately. *Squeeeee*~

Hp_Sticks. Another equally brilliant artist who makes doodling look real good.

And this following link is especially for Kitz, with whom I spent an hour speculating over the events that will take place post HBP. For those who do not wish to be spoiled, do not click on the link. *grins sweetly*

Uhmmm. Well, yes.

On to other things.

Rumours.
They spread fast.
And human as I am, I cannot help but feel slightly amused and just a little bit annoyed over the fact that these rumours hold a spectacular amount of untruths, and/or are highly exaggerated.
Still, I cannot stop anyone from opening that wide gaping hole that rests innocently above their chins and spouting out unsubstancial words that hold as much weight as balls of frivolous cotton candy.

Comes to show the mentality, and possibly the general god-given gift of sight these people fail to possess, since more often than not, they appear to see things that not only do not exist, but have never before been called into existence.

I sincerely hope that you have your fun engaging in the most fascniating of story-telling monstrosities, and will be quite glad when you realize that Lizzy does indeed, have a most publicly uninteresting life. So much so that certain individuals have to weave creatively spell-binding tales to make my life seem like something worth poking one's nose into.


I bid thee all good day, for Lizzy feels sleep creeping nastily upon her and she wishes to take an afternoon nap. (:

Love to all.
Goodbye.

Currently listening to Molly on the Shore, a very cute piece that was Tokyo Kosei's encore piece of the evening. Well, one of their encores anyway. They played quite a good number of very classical pieces, most of which was responsible for the reasonably unentertaining repetoire but still, nevertheless, outstanding performance.

Tokyo Kosei is, as my sister puts it, almost technically flawless. The balance was wonderful, the tone rich and very in sync with each other. Technical wise, very, very good and worthy of their reputation.

A more exciting repetoire would have made for a more enjoyable night, but it still served to flood my mind with great longing for my beloved Selmer, of which I can no longer brand as my own seeing that my dearest junior Anne has taken over my role of being the the resident tenorist. *wipes a tear* I so dearly miss my lau gong. Anne had better be looking after him very well with the most precious, delicate of attentions and regular polishing sessions.

Oh well, does anyone know if Anne has already moved from her humble abode to one of greater flourish? For indeed I still owe her a rabbit after kidnapping Ammonia, which thankfully, has since been renamed Floppy.


Now I would very much wish to blog about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, if not for the fact that I am dimly worried that I might spoil JK Rowling's sixth installment for a good number of unfortunate Harry Potter fans who might chance upon my humble blog.

HARRY POTTER SPOILER ALERT AHEAD.
BEWARE. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE... SPOILED.












*coughs politely*
The identity of the Half-Blood Prince would have been easily apparent to the observant reader, one confides that with Potions, it is easy to put two and two together and come to a worthy conclusion.

The sixth book also does, indeed satisfy a good number of canons, and even H/D fans would adamantly be able to scrouge the lines "Harry, however, had never been less interested in Quidditch. He was rapidly becoming obsessed with Draco Malfoy." to satisfy their wonton needs for something slashable within the confines of JK Rowling's (assumingly) innocently penned words.

A great deal of unecessary snogging took place in this sixth installment, I must say, and Ron/Lavender is a sickly concocted eyesore. Dear me. I need to wash my eyes out. Tonks/Lupin was also another excessively questionable one. Rather abruptly made, I must say.

The ending of the book was as horrible at the fifth's, and let me say that the Order of the Pheonix was one of the most undesirable novels to come out of the Harry Potter series.

Still, as clearly stated in the newspapers, the sixth book is a must read for all Potter maniacs. Although it appears that JK Rowling seems to have gotten just minimally complacent about her well deserved reputation as a brilliant children's author and the technicality of the novel was not as magically woven as the first four had been.

Again, as duly stated in the Straits Times, plot has always been Rowling's stronger virtue and by the time this series comes to an end, she could be writing in grammatic spittle and it wouldn't matter as long as us, the fans, can comprehend the plot. Which had better be good by the time she finishes the seventh and presumed last installment of the Harry Potter books.


In any case, being a rather big fan of Severus Snape, I stand stubborn in my decision that he is in fact, innocent and will eventually be proven to be on the side of the Order. *nods head adamantly* I refuse to be convinced otherwise and no one can prove otherwise till the seventh installment is released, which would be a good many years ahead when I've already begun to embark on my tertiary education.

Oh yes, and since all of us at TK with the exception of the Sec Ones have access to today's copy of the Straits Times, let me proudly show off my friends who currently grace the cover of Life!

Rish, Sarah C, Jessica and Xeno (kid), decked in their bee-yew-ti-ful Hogwarty robes. (:

Am going to keep it. Muehehehe.


And this shall be the end of my Potter spoiler, do inform me if it has marred your pretty eyes and Lizzy might actually decide to make amends by removing the above paragraphs. *Grins*

End Spoiler. (:

Okie dokes.
Got back two of my Block CA grades this fine, chilly, blissfully rainy day.
Check out the irony of this.
History - 80%
Social Studies - 40%

*chuckles to self*

Can't say I actually studied for SS though, so the grades weren't particularly unexpected. Still, that means a 20/25 for the Literature component if I want to even smell a B3 for a combined humanities.

All of Percy Grainger's compositions are making me terribly sleepy. *yawns* Though I must say they pleasantly revolve a lot around really killer woodwind semi and demi quavers at seemingly inhuman speeds.

Alright, this is pretty much enough for now. More later perhaps, if I remember anything worth saying. (:

Tired lah.

POTTER. Haven't finished this. Thanks to the hectic monstrosity of my overrated schedule.

At page 470. AHHH. Less than 200 pages to go.

The sixth book would make a horribly boring movie. All thats going on so far is talk talk talk and more talk. When's the 'Something Big' going to appear?

Oh well. I've been eating a lot lately. Must lose weight.
MUST.

Hrmp.

And I went running today. Horror of all imaginable horrifying things. I ran to East Coast Beach while Sis happily strolled there. Sat down for a grand total of ten minutes before Mom called to complain that she had gone marketing without the house keys expecting us to be home to welcome her and that we were absolutely nowhere in sight. So Lizzy abandoned her Bible-reading sister at the beach and ran all the way back home again to open said door for Mommy and her bags of vegetables and my adoringly wonderful breakfast.

Let me just say that the best breakfast anyone could dream of having is...
TAU HUAY~
TAU HUAY JU~
AND TAU SUAN.
:D~~~

Roughly translated as soya bean curd, soya bean drink and some other sort of beany dessert. LOL.

And I had tau geh for lunch an hour later. With mushrooms. And steamed fish.

'Tis was heaven.

When was the last time I had a home-cooked meal that was not one of Lizzy's lazy evening concoctions to satisfy the gnawing grumble in her stomach, I can scarcely remember.

Oh well. And just celebrated my gran's birthday at Suntec's NUS Guild House. Made a point to note that banana and chocolate cake actually goes down very well with my tastebuds.


Fooood. Too much of it is a bad thing.
Lizz shall make an attempt not to eat in excessively quantities.

Alright, tired, and want to finish Pottah. Despite the fact that amaths lies mournfully untouched in the dusty confines of my bag.

Goodnight to one and all.
*dramatic flourish of hand*


And Lizz ponders, half in bemusement and the other in exasperation, over a certain group's obsession with The End of the World. *raises a delicate eyebrow*

Oh man.

Bitching with Melanie now about the new school librarian.

LOL.
LOL.
LOL.
*wheezes*
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I don't know how many of you have visited the library in the recent week and have come upon the horrifyingly fascinating new addition to the TKGS Staff, but I shall attempt to be polite as I speak of her more interesting virtues and unique capabilities.

...

*thinks otherwise*
Okay, I shal not be rude. But I must say I'm glad that my Chem free periods for the even week timetable will be spent in the IT Resource Room with dear Mrs Geh, who is on a general scale with no bias intended whatsoever, a more pleasant adult to be isolated with.

Honestly, we're not even allowed to read the newspapers in the library because it doesn't fill our brain with enough Bio facts to fill an essay paper. Or something to that effect.


o_O
Anyway.. preview of my new layout.


The quote reads, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Pablo Picasso.

The only people who would understand the crude artistic nature of this upcoming monstrosity would be my dear classmates. (Hey I even followed the same colour combination!)

And possibly anyone else who has had the horror of seeing my class notice boards.

Lol.
Okie dokes.
Back to the layout.

I don't know how things are going to go.

My apologies to everyone who has been subjected to my screaming, wailing, and crankiness.


To the four of you.
I know words don't mean a thing.

You guys.. I was never really close to anyone in TK till I met you.
I never got so attached to people till 3e6 happened.
I love the class.
I love the four of you.


Know that no matter what happens from here.
For better or for worst.
Wanyun, Yvonne, Melanie and Serene.
You guys are people I treasure deeply in my heart.
And still continue to hold dear.


Thank you. For everything.

"To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and on-one elese can fit. Why would I want them to?"

Alrighteh, the cosplay bits of this will be x-posted to LJ.

Anyway, with regards to the last entry, which has been heavily edited at someone's request, news travels fast and as much as I cannot stop any of you from passing on information to other people who for some obscure reason are actually interested in the mundane cycle of our lives, please kindly do not make any apparent moves to bug her about it or you can kindly face the wrath of my fist.

The reason for the last entry was not to feed the gossip circle who clearly, have too much time on their hands and should just stick to concentrating on the fact that life nonchalantly slips by them while they oogle at someone else's misery, not that I am, feeling particularly miserable or anything.

Especially to the curious onlookers from secondary four, do realize that our uninteresting lives isn't soap opera and will not surpass a thousand episodes a la Days of our Lives.

In any case, what Lizzy wishes to say is that as much as she wishes that she has superhuman powers, she does not and she has a most apparent tendency to make mistakes. Sometimes you do what God doesn't want you to do. Even when you can hear his prompting and you choose to ignore it.

If you have any queries, do feel free to approach me, I promise not to bite. *grins wolfishly* But it would be greatly appreciated if you leave her out of this, because she is in no mood to deal with people whose noses are generally the longest part of their anatomies.

Remember, Lizzy is human.
She relies on God's strength.
And she doesn't understand why people feel demoralized because as far as I remember, you were always better than me at quite a number of things. Like sports. *shudders involuntarily*


Okay.
Cosplay.
Yesterday was Lexay's nth birthday (he refuses to let me know his exact age), gave him the baka-est plushie I could find at Action City.
Yesterday was also Michelle's 16th birthday, which I'm most apologetic over the fact that I conveniently forgot. Lizzy promises to get you a present ASAP. *grins sweetly*

Cosfest was a lot better this year than previous years. The crowd was generally more enthusiastic, the number of cosplayers increased greatly, and the standard of costumes has been greatly improved. Thumbs up to the organizers and participants for making it a success. Even the MC was better this year, at least he didn't make Jap words sound like Greek this time around.

Lizzy did Kairi from Kingdom Hearts, aka "Aye? Lizzy you not cosplaying today ah?"
Pictures are all up HERE.

Was going to do a photo log but have decided that I'm too lazy to edit photos at the moment. *grins wryly*

Still, love goes out to the following cosplayers...
HIMAAY!
RISHAAYYY!
Mana da jie, Manana's friend Dee(?), Xrysx, Nevar.

Everyone else.

My favourites.
THE FANTASTIC FOUR (minus the Thing). OMGOMG. XDDD
The Nightmare Before Christmas team. :D~~~
The male Urahara. OMG~ r0x0r.
The Abarai Renji was cool.
Xrys' KON!!!!
The Aizen was very nice too, whoever that was.
Kaika's Rukia.
Reiko's Hitsugaya hair was a very good attempt.
AND SARAH'S LUNA LOVEGOOD! XD


Alright. Seriously.
Sometimes I think its really ironic that many people dream of being popular, of being wanted by another, of being loved. And I am neither popular, neither do I yearn to be wanted and I already know I'm loved by Him, so I don't really see what people see in me. Other than God, I mean if they see him in my life then thats good. I just don't get the emotional parts of it.

L posed a question last night. "So when will you agree to be my gf?" Possibly never. It just isn't going to work out. I cannot date a guy whom I have known for three years yet knows so little about me and to top it off is older than my 25 year-old sister.

Lord give me the strength to keep away from relationship issues till I have the maturity to approach them accordingly.


Okie. Liz is sleepy. Its now 3.45PM.
A nap would be good.

Woo hoo.

Back from Cosfest. Took a cab home and the driver was the kind that you would expect to land up in the emergency room with. I was petrified that I'd get home in three pieces, with him swerving at 100km/h down the street, elicting frantic honks from fellow road users and scrambling pedestrians.


Anyway, am too lazy to blog more.

More tomorrow. And pictures. ^_^ Took 111 shots today.

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?


But you're not the one.


Read the bible for the first time today in a good while. And finally dared to talk to God.
Took Mom's Faith Food Devotions by Kenneth E Hagin. Its a good daily devotional to use, and somehow it always tells me exactly what I need to hear.

Opened the book, and the first entry I turned to just happened to be the devotional for March 14.

Shall be typing out the whole thing, blessings are best when shared.

[start excerpt]
... And much people followed him [Jesus], and thronged him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years... When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. - Mark 5:24, 25, 27

To receive her healing, this woman had a number of obstacles to overcome. In her religious tradition, a woman with an issue of blood was considered in the same catergory as a leper. She was not supposed to mingle in public. If anyone came close to her, she was to cry, "Unclean! Unclean!" In fact, the women in ancient Israel didn't have the same rights and privileges to mix freely in public that most women in the modern world have.

You could say that a multitude of people stood between this woman and her healing. Public sentiment and her own religious teachings stood between her and getting to Jesus. But she overcame all obstacles. She got into the very midst of the crowd and she reached through to touch Jesus' clothes.

This woman didn't pray that God would overcome the obstacles; she did something about them herself! You, too, will have to do something about the obstacles that confront you. Too many people expect God to do everything, leaving no part for them to play in receiving his blessings. But we do have a part to play. Receiving from God is a faith proposition.

Confession: I am a believer. I am not a doubter I have faith. I am an overcomer. No obstacle to the blessings of God can stand in my way. I overcome all obstacles by faith in God's Word!

[end excerpt]

When I read this, it struck me that all this time, I just kept sitting around moping and waiting... hoping that God will drop a miracle into my lap. But thats not how it works. Its not a fairy tale, things aren't gonna become magical overnight.

But I can overcome all obstacles by faith in God's Word.
And nothing that stands in my way can succeed, because God is providing for me every step of the way.

If God does something for me, he does it the Royal Way. I don't have to stoop to grovelling for God to play a part in my life.

He will give me strength to see things through. The obstacles will still be there, but so will God.
Alright, its really 11.07AM now.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By faith we understand that worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." Hebrews 11: 1-3

dearest sister in Christ,do cont to put ur faith in e Lord,n seek Him in all aspects of ur life. just wanted to encourage u with the few verses frm provs. God is ever willin to guide one as to how one may please Him in his life if one submits to Him.. n with e attitude of submission, of wantin to please God n honor Him in life, comes much blessin. not tat one shld make this one's reason fr pleasing Him, after all, we seek to do so coz we love Him. But tat He takes our meagre offerings n multiplys it abundently fr His purposes, He is pleased to bless n even return to us manifold wat we haf humbily given up to Him. even though we may not see it happening immediately, do haf faith in His promise, n also that, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Roms 8:28

Alright.

Sorry for the long absence but Lizzy just got too lazy to blog.

Initial D r0x0r.

Eye-candy galore. *happy fangirl face*

Listening to the soundtrack now. Some of it is decent. Its semi-techno that I (*gasp*) actually find pleasing to the ear.

In any case its just been a normal school week, I don't see how exciting school can become when you're sec four and all your teachers care about is scaring you into submission.

I love Mdm Hassan. And Mrs Geh. *nods*



Okey, the time now is 9.11PM. Honestly, *stares at blog* I'd find something exciting to blog about soon. *grins wryly*


Came home today and glanced at the kitchen dustbin, idly wondering in amusement who managed to completely torch two slices of bread into charred oblivion. Apparently, according to sis, Mom was the surprising culprit.

Neat, meticulous, picky Mom was the culprit who managed to forget about the existence of her toasting bread. Mom. Mom. Unbelievable. The reason for having done so was even more hilarious - she was busy rearranging the magnets that graced the refrigerator doors, so much so that she forgot that nary a metre away from where she was engrossed in her task, her bread was slowly turning into a spontaneously combustible crisp.

*giggles*

Right.
Gah.

Well is there anything you'd actually like to blog about? *yawns*
9.26PM.
Boredom calls.

Hmmmm.

Vonnie says I 'hmm' a lot these days. I blame it on the overactivity I've been putting my poor 'ickle brain through. Said brain is not, on a regular basis, accustomed to large volumes of information being disseminated across my neurones and synapses.

Lizzy realizes that she has been consuming a great deal of green tea products, and tiredly acknowledges the fact that green tea has now replaced her the better appreciated flavour of mint. Green tea ice-cream, green tea mochi, green tea lao po bing. My mom has gone to the extent of buying green tea toothpaste, which is something I do not highly recommend because it fails to do anything more than leave a slightly bitter aftertaste which could be dubiously mistaken for the fact that you did not brush your teeth.

Hmmm.
The current song is dedicated mostly to the SBA, but also to my dearest besties Rish and Himi, and to the Gang back at school.

Alright, the following would just be messages out to the band folk, so do feel free to skip it if its not applicable to yer own persons. :P

Cheryl, Olivia, Amanda - Right, you three are about the only flautist I talk to, other than your sec four seniors to whom I probably talk to even less than the three of you add together. Work hard, stay bonded.. Know that no matter what is thrown your way, stand your ground, and hold on tight, because band is one hell of a ride.

Cheeri, Wee Shan- Thanks for the flowers, for one. Work hard as well, Cheeri I know you practiced hard for your solo, so good job on not screwing up noticibly on the 1st. Keep persevering and keep your spirits up. You guys are the 'oldest' now, so set a good example for your juniors and remember the goal. Honours for 2007. Not ours to achieve, but you can definitely point the juniors in the right direction.

Peck Hong/Pei Qi- You two are crazy. Tenor sax lessons? Haha. Alright, there isn't much I can say that every other senior has already said. Work hard, persevere, work hard, persevere.

The bassoonists - Okay I know I'm horrible but I can't remember your names off the top of my head at the moment. Stay crazy. And don't stare at the saxophonists. Tsk tsk. You're always staring freakily at my score.

Flora - Not much I haven't said to you dahl, keep your chin up. =)

Trumcorers - Stay enthusiastic. You'd need it when 2007 rolls around the corner.

F.Horns - I've always loved the horn section. Dilly's a good leader, she's brought you guys far... Keep the standard up, I know you guys will do well.

TKGSAX'06 - Okay.. Its up to you guys now. I love you all so so much. Sorry the sec4s weren't in much of a mood to have supper with you guys that day. But I promise we will go out one day, because yup, I'd miss you guys too much otherwise. Know that you can achieve anything you put your mind to, if you believe in yourself. I believe in you. We believe in you. So believe in yourselves. LOVE YOU!


Hmm. Okay yup, if I've left anyone out I'd remember to add said person in later. But this is about the gist of everyone I wanted to shout out to. I know I didn't cover all the sections, I had no intention of doing so anyway.

Its now 10.00AM. Going to go change and head out.
Getting contacts today. (har har, yes, call me vain.)

Hope it won't be hellish poking 'em into my eye, though I've worn coloured ones a couple of times for cosplay. And those times it was hellish poking them into my eye. Speaking of which, I'm doing Kairi at Cosfest this Saturday. Kingdom hearts. Purple. Goodness. Purple. Lol.

Mmmm..

Okay okay I'm being pressurized to blog. :p

I have so many things to say that I have absolutely no idea where to start.

Perhaps I should begin by mentioning that the number of hits I've received today is scarily suspicious.

Pictures galore.

There have been so many things going on all at once, and Lizzy has been left slightly breathless by the current turn of events that have left her feeling well, I don't know. But Lizzy has a good feeling about things.

30th June 2005.
Hmm. Yeah. Go figure. :P


Thanks to everyone who has been a constant pillar of support in my life. :)

I love y'all.


The first of July came and went too quickly for me. My last performance with TKGSSB ever. The last time I was ever going to play with TKGSAX, with SBA, under Ms. Sia's baton in my green band uniform which I by the way, fancy a lot.

Live your story...
Faith hope and glory,
Hold to the truth in your heart.

If we hold on together,
I know our dreams will never die.
Dreams see us through to forever...

Remember us... even if we were the most pathetic batch of secfours ever.. And our last performance was so crappy and Ms. Sia cut out all the solos that I wanted to play. And I screwed up the only solos that I got to play. And the last piece I ever played with TKGSSB was Under the Double Eagle March *makes a face*.

Firstly, thanks to my section.
My juniors, my beloved sec2s, sec3s, and my sec1s who actually came. I'm honoured.
I'm really glad to have spent 2005 with you guys, and know that no matter what happens, stick together and stay bonded, because we know that you won't let us down.

SBA...
This was it.
This was our last chance...
And though it didn't quite go the way we wanted it to.......
I still love you.
No matter where we go from here, know that the ten of you will always hold a special place in my heart.

To everyone who gave me flowers...
I can't remember all of you, so I'm sorry if I left you out and do feel free to smack me on the head if you did give me something and I didn't remember.
I had sixteen stalks of flowers, not counting my pretty little bouquet. :)
Vera, Baya, Cheeri, Wee Shan, Mel, Rene, Marsha, Yi Hui, the sec1s, Chermaine, Peck Hong.. ehmm, if I left you out do tell me. And the one who gave me the bouqet, of course. I wouldn't dream of leaving you out. :P

To everyone who's still at TKGSSB..
Work hard, make us proud.
But do it not only for us.
Do it for yourselves.
Enjoy band.
Learn to live with the criticism.
Learn to realize that its not always about you.
Watch out for your tone.
Balance.
Love your bandmates.
Be responsible for your own actions...
And remember to stick together.

I know you'd bring back the honours in 2007. But no matter how well you guys do, know that as long as you've put in your best, I'd still be proud of you.


Memories.. so many of them.
I couldn't bear to keep my sax yesterday.
I couldn't bear to leave the third floor knowing that I'd never stand there again at that ungodly hour in my band uniform staring at the night sky and watching everyone haphazardly packing up around me, sharing lame jokes, exchanging last minute presents, taking photos...

Sigh. But I did leave, after hugging every damn one of my beloved section whom I'm going to miss like heaven.

I already miss my lao gong... My beloved tenor sax.
I kept the last two performance reeds I used.
I can't believe I'm never going to perform with it again.
I shall go back and polish it nicely because it'd be a while before Li Yin, my sec1 tenorist gets to use it.


I LOVE YOU TKGSSB. I LOVE YOU MS SIA!
Thanks for making my band life bittersweet.
But the memories will always be etched in my mind, and I know that no matter how badly she thought of me.. or how much she disregarded my existence.. I know my time in TKGSSB has somehow been worth the while.





Alright. On to everything else I've been wanting to blog about.
There's just too many things and everything else seems to wane in importance at the moment.
But.. Hmm.
How am I supposed to blog about this? o_O
Oh well. To everyone who knows, there's a reason you've been told. And secrecy ranks rather high on the priority list, but I trust you guys, and thats why you've been entitled to the information to begin with.

Hmm.
Alright. Pictures. Clicky here! (Just TKGSSB pics.)
Have I mentioned that its about, ten minutes to twelve right now?
Some random shots below.


This is what happens when you've seen one too many anthers, stamens, stigmas, petals.. sepals... (My apologies to whoever gave me that flower, but by the time I reached home, this was all that was left of it.)


Presents! (:


And of course... ^^


Random picture at Macs today.


The grasshopper in my garden.


Alright, yup, for all TKGSSB related pictures, do refer to the Kodak Gallery. :D

And have I mentioned the fact that I had to crawl into my mom's boot earlier tonight in a bid to search for her missing diamond ring which was then only located when we managed to literally displace the entire backseat and haul the upholstry off?
Not fun, car boots. Very uninteresting unless you're dead, bloody and on the set of CSI.

Anyway, took some neos today but they're too small to show up properly on the cam.
We shall take nicer ones.
Alrighty.
This post has gone on for long enough.
It is now 12.23PM

I bid thee all goodnight.

Hmmm. The morning after.

Normal blogging schedule will resume today or maybe tomorrow, at the rate that I'm going. This was supposed to be a nice long entry but I've to go out and buy a couple o' stuff for people and I've to be in school by 2pm to have lunch with SBA.

Hmm. Yup. Okay. =_=

No time to blog now. ;___;

Am not done making stuff for people. *totters off*
