7:47 PM

We finally got Temasek Times out today, not that it would bear any great significance for any of you. If you do wish to humour/pity us, do pick up a copy from wherever we've made an attempt to distribute it around the school.

Typed this other, really long, rather dreary, rather angry post that is better left unpublished.

I suppose, if I have nothing good to say, I shouldn't say anything at all.

Rather unhappy about certain issues that have to do with Temasek Times. Probably a clash of personalities. Spent quite a lot of time and effort to do the layout and formatting, it's not as easy as it seems as you view the columns within the 12 page July edition. But yeah, whatever, it's already out and done with.

Thank you 33/06 for actually reading it. :D

Was mostly tired in a wearisome kind of way and may have snapped at some of you, I'm sorry.

Rannald attempted to give me a series of his freaky smiles which was to say the least, freaky.

Stood outside History Room with a =___= on my face, holding a box that had big bold letters on it saying: Get your latest issue of Temasek Times here!

Our attempt at another strategy to get people to read TT, no doubt. Unidentified History Teacher waltzed around the corner and well.. it was just another Unidentified History Teacher moment. (Bleached intestines are a reminder.)

Him: *stares*
Me: *glances up tiredly, hoisting box*
Him: You look like you're trying to collect funds for a third-world country.

So.. after the lesson.
Me: *smiles sweetly* *takes copy out of box* Kindly support the cause of the third-world countries. :D
Him: -___O (Insert 'whaaaat?' face here.)


Was probably grouchy through lunch and had to get my Fix. Went to buy those comforting little biscuits we used to eat as children. You know those round ones with green/pink/white/yellow sugar icing in this little swirl on top? (: Yeah. They make the world a better place. Felt considerably better after that.

Anyway was just whinging to God as usual, about how unhappy and disgruntled I was about TT, and when I was done, He just told me, in the way He always does after I've raved and ranted and sulked my way through my own set of arguments, that I was trying to depend on myself again. I had expectations and I was unhappy that other people did not meet them. I let my pride control my emotions and cloud my judgements of other people. In my self-absorbed anger I felt I deserved more credit for what I was doing. Yes, Lizzy being human. Susceptible to everything she tells herself not to be. But yeah, God in his still small voice when I finally quietened down, just said, "It's because you think you can do it. You can't. But I can. And if you let me, I will."

It's so easy to let pride, selfishness just consume my being and believe that I'm good enough, I'm capable enough to handle everything on my own.
But if I was perfect, why would I need God?

Thank you Jesus.. that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness.

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
- 2 Corinthians 12: 9, 10

Another timely reminder for myself. That it is not in my abilities that I want to boast. For I would rather be foolish and weak and rest in Christ, than be strong in myself and trust in own flesh. Because regardless of how strong or good I may ever become, He is stronger still. And He is the most reliable rock, the most stable person I can hold on, cling on to.

Yeah. (:



More Kwotable Kenneth from the past couple of days.

K: So which play are you guys going for? 6pm or 8pm?
L: Mm. I'm going for 8, Sugz and Soefie are too.. Rishik is as well. Yeah, the entire clique is going. (It's not really a clique, it's just the Econs Gang, I suppose, and the occasional Lunch Grouppie.)
K: Oooo. So there's 5 of us, we can be the Click Five! :D
All: *silence*


Kenneth in Econs.
K: *rambles on about world domination*
L: Why don't you just go for a vacation to Hawaii? I think you need it.
K: Hmmm.. Hawaii.. Kawaii (Jap for cute)! You think the Hawaiians could be Japanese? After the Pearl Harbour bombings maybe some of them stayed!
L: No Kenneth, those pilots kamikaze-d.
K: OOOO! Precisely! They Kamikazed, that's why it's Kawaii!
L: .......... (and as though it couldn't get any worse...)
Rishik: Haha! Then you must be Hennetk!


In other news, got back our progress report, which has individual comments from every subject tutor and a rating system to tell whoever is signing your sheet of paper whether you've been attentive in class, hands up quality word, meets deadlines and all that jazz. Mine had a fair bit of farny English in it. Another unidentified History teacher harked on his ability to use cheem words such as tenacity, laudible, and what not but got curiousity wrong.

And something I still don't get about 'responsibilties to all responsibilities'. But well, it was on an overal scale, still an AACDDE. ACD A for 3H2 and 1H1 subject. Somehow qualified to attain an interview slot for entry into the Marazin programme, and everytime I see that word all that comes to my mind is marzipan.

Oh well, we shall just see how everything goes. I want to take H3 papers next year out of interests, mostly. Pretty much not interested in scholarships at that level because of the bond that it comes attached with. Judging by how Sis could barely tahan 2 years at her first job after graduation, to me a 4 or 6 year scholarship bond seems rather daunting. She's not even a year into her current one at MINDEF and she's already dreaming of diving and dancing every day.


Mom just called, pouring on more angst. She can get very emo when she's in China and I don't blame her. For some reason she suspects that Sis has been fetching me to school late every day. The ironic part is that Sis, having little reason in the morning to put on make-up and blow her hair into curls, actually gets me to school earlier than Mom ever does when she's around. Oh well.

Still.. Yeah, I don't know what I'll do without the both of them. I love my Mom and Sis much. (:


Probably ought to go and do something productive now, this entire week has past in a fast drag. Know what I mean? When you feel you've spent so much time doing nothing but it's already Thursday. Ph0ar.


In other other news, Von is suffering from jealous best friend syndrome.
Lol. Not unlike yours truly a couple of months ago. Haha.

This is the price I pay:
For an education.
Words that used to mean
Fairytales
Mysteries
Magic
Now reduced to cold print
On the pages of Chemistry textbooks.

This is the price I pay:
For a job that will
Feed me and give me pride -
Or is it? False humility
To face a world that sees
Success on paper.

This is the price I pay:
For growing up and
Leaving behind the
Only thing I ever
Believed in.

This is the price I pay:
To choose logic as my
Master and forsake the
disappointed grasp of
Imagination.

This is the price I pay:
For choosing to take
The road that everyone
Else has already walked.

This is the price I pay:
For not daring to different.

This is the price I pay.
This is the price.
I've paid.


---


Just one of those days.
Artistic temperament.
If I could still dare to call myself a writer.
So much I've stopped myself from doing. So much that's already lost... so many ideas that have come and I have let go. So little that I've actually penned down. So few words of substance. Almost none left of the days when the letters used to flow with gleeful coherency from my fingertips.

Should I grieve the lost of an old friend?
I do not believe it has truly left.
One day I will Write once again.
Write something that shall be worth reading.



And oh.
Happy Birthday 7/Dotty. :D

TJCSB.
First. Open division, National Band Competition 2006. (:

TKGSSB.
Second. A division, National Band Competition 2006. (:
SO PROUD OF YOU JUNIORS! XD You guys surprise me, I'm almost ashamed to say that, but I'm very, very proud of you guys nonetheless.

TJCSB. Woo! Couldn't help feeling nervous as they read the results even though it was mostly the alumni who were taking part.
The mad cheer after they annouced the results. The even madder cheer after they annouced RJ's results. The craziest holler when the top three was annouced.
The shameless singing of the school song.
Another magical moment for the band.
Twain's eupho solo in Second Suite was gorgeous. It really was. In fact, the band sounded really lovely. This is what TJ band is. The best of the alumni, the best of the band.. the quality was.. of a standard that made my insides flutter in awe and admiration. I don't want to try and describe it in words. You have to be there.

A moment I want to have, and much more, with the band next year at SYF.

They'll be playing for the presentation this coming weekend. VCH once again. TK will be playing too. (: Do go, if you can. Tickets are slightly pricy at $15/$20 though (I think).


TJ DRAMA is also performing their SYF piece in the Audi this Wednesday. 6pm and 8pm, just a half hour performance. It's open to the public, pay as you leave. Do come and support them. They're really good, and it's brave of them to want to have 2 shows. The Audi isn't large, but it fits an entire cohort, and to want to fill it for 2 slots in one evening is no mean feat. So do come. (: I was asked to invite my entire family, extended relations and possibly every single individual who exists on my Friendster friend's list. So this is open to everyone I know. Please do come and watch TJ Drama.


Anyway, band. I don't know whether to count it as my fortune that I have such naggy, fanatical seniors like Luther and Mingjie, who are always just around the corner to remind me in big, bold letters the need to get honours at SYF 2007. I really do respect the both of them though, their passion, their committment to this band, their love for it that completely oozes and overflows in everything they do for it. The way they speak of it. Their loyalty for TJCSB.. It's almost scary, to some extent. But I guess in a way I'm glad I have them to look up to.

It's not going to be a long road. Life in JC is too short to even consider the use of that word.
God, let your grace super abound for this band.

It's going to be a good year. (:

Dumdumdum..

Thursday, PESA finals to support Nigel. Got to see the AC people. sw33t. (: Ahnaf was really good.

Due to a miscalculation of time, we got there rather early, and Nigel, Krin and Rishik had the fortune of getting a new cabbie who got them lost in Bedok before finally, by a stroke of genius or pure luck, reaching the YMCA building.


Caregroup's coming anytime now.

Friday, Chinese oral, which PRAISE GOD!, was on a topic that I could actually find enough vocabulary to talk about. Didn't get questioned on anything incomprehensible (to Lizzy) in Chinese like Singapore Idol, boybands, chinese newspapers or whatnot. Had something about 'how should parents bring up their children' or something to that effect.


Ookay they're reaching in 10minutes.


Had to endure lunch with Rannald and Kenneth. Or Rannald and I had to endure lunch with Kenneth, whichever way you choose to look at it. Kwotable Kenneth: I want to stab my umbrella into my abdomen and open it.
He could probably write a book on 101 inventive ways to kill yourself.

Watched PotC last evening with Jason. :D
The movie was... disappointing, to say the least. After having waited over 7 months for it, I guess I definitely expected much, much more.
First, it was 2.5 hours. Then, the plot wasn't even worth 2.5 hours.
I finally have to grudgingly agree with Mr Rajesh and Ms Nanci that Keira Knightly cannot act. She has the same pouty expression in all her movies. Anyway. The story was stretched so thin even Johnny Depp and most of the slapstick humour failed to save very much of it. So it was somewhat funny here and there, but it wasn't even as entertaining as the first, and the ending was tw435w3453j53ethjteoitjoijwerw?! And someone please tell me why Davy Jones spends his nights banging.. no wait, spreading his tentacles across a pipe organ?

And oh.. for those of you who watched Pride & Prejudice, the actor who did Mr. Collins is in PotC as well. And there's a scene with him and Elizabeth (how coincidental) that involves Lizzy pointing a gun at him and them having a snarky, cocky conversation.

Which was, rather disconcerting since the only thing I can envision that actor doing is the shorter-than-Lizzy-loserly Collins. (Well he still is shorter than her in PotC, which made it all the more amusing.)


ANYWAY. Read Soef's blog just cause she's raving mad. I can't believe she dreamt had a nightmare that I married Kitz, divorced twice and had kids at 17. (I mean, no offence Kitz, but really I'll rather not be having your children right now.) Considerably more horrifying than her first dream about me. I am decidedly glad that I never do remember the dreams I have, so as to spare my friends the explicit nature of having to explain it to them. *shudders*


And Kryssie dear has been accepted to SA through DSA. =(
Nooooo. *mumbles* No trying to steal my junior back anymore. Boo hoo.
And Schwal's trying for AC DEP I think. (insert reminiscent thought here)
Okay. Whatever makes you happy darl.

Hmph.
Okay, back to work on Temasek Times. So much for spending so many hours layout-ing the last draft. I have to redo everything again.

And hope Rannald doesn't come after me for PW. Lol. =x

Since I wish not to embarass myself by typing out long, incomprehensible rubbish in my current almost comatose state of existentialism, I shall do myself the favour of going to bed.

More tomorrow.
About the Interesting Things that supposedly took place during the course of watchinf PESA 2006. And.. stuff.

Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing

So. Finished my two boards today.




I really did put more effort into my band one, it just doesn't really seem to show.



And this one's empty cause Heidi's supposed to be the one putting stuff on it.. Anyway you can't tell but the Temasek Times one is twice the size of the band one.


Going for the PESA finals tomorrow, surprisingly I know 4 of the finalists. Nigel, Ahnaf(sp?) from VJ, Emmanuel from SR and of course.. LEIGH-ANN from AC. They're all really good, but of course, the TJCian in me will be rooting for Nigel, although Ahnaf is really a joy to listen to and Leigh-Ann is a dear friend. Okay I shan't make it sound like I'm being forced to support Nigel, I know he has it in him to do well for PESA. :P

Speaking of debaters, I went out for dinner with them today after realizing that I haven't for a very long time. And then as conversation burst forth I realized why I hadn't. Lol. They can be so totally senselessly crappy sometimes.. but yes, as Rishik says, I probably do love them somewhere deep in the unexplored depths of my soul. xP


Oh yes, really, really big thank you to Rishik and Soef for spending your lunch hour helping me to finish the Temasek Times board, especially Rishik cause he had to go for Council dialogue session immediately after that and couldn't even make time to eat. And also because although I have grown somewhat taller I couldn't reach the top and you guys had to do it for me. Thankyousososomuch. =)

Blogging for the sake of blogging.

No. Not really.

!AlmostEmoLiz tonight.

Why? Because her eyes feel slightly crossed/blinded/whatever from staring at brightly coloured paper all late afternoon/night.

Soefie is almost psychotically scaring me. I realize my name appears in every other blog entry she makes. And the last one was especially odd. I need a protection order. =x (Kiddin. Yeah, you know I love you. Hur hur hur... *thinks about how Soef is going to read this and do one of her big exaggerated WHAAAT? Me? *outraged expression* scenes.)

Uh, yes, okay. JCT grades...
I guess I should be glad for my ABCCDD before moderation.
If you just count the H2 subjects, it'll be a BDD.
But anyway I know there are people who would love to even have a BDD. So I'll just appreciate the fact that I technically didn't really fail anything..

Finally got hit by the realization of how sucky it is to get crappy grades. When I got back my Econs marks yesterday, and honestly.. we all did study for Econs, we just did stupendously bad for it. I was seriously appalled to the point of giving myself a headache.

But anyway, the horrors are over, time to pick up the pieces and keep moving forward till I hit a AAAAAC (C, undoubtably, stands for Chinese.)

And oh, as it is probably commonly realized, TJ has a minority of VJ rejects who throughout their entire stay in this lovely green land, live in a constant state of denial.

More than one desk I have come to use in this school has markings such as this:


Anyway yeah you can't really see what it says because its so blur..

"VJC!"
add: sucks!
add: I love VJ too!
most important addition: Get over it losers.

So yes, self-explanatory on most levels. And no I'm not dissing VJ. I repeat. I AM NOT DISSING VEEJAY. =X I didn't write it. It just plagues my Monday PW classroom.


Oh yes, forgot that I was supposed to be !AlmostEmo.

Random thoughts ahead.

Soefie says I'm a docile eater. Well I suppose I can't really be expected to chew arms off all the time.

Soefie says I'm motherly. Sugu says I'm motherly. Even Kit, who has known me for 4 years, with no connection to either of my friends, says I'm motherly. Rene calls me Mummy. That's it lah. I should just go have 2.1 kids and make the government happy. I should muse no further over why track records have reflected clingy members of the male species then.

Speaking of wimpy excuses for men, Nick Lachey's song What's Left of Me is one of the wimpiest songs I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. If every guy was like that I'll start worrying for my half of the human population.

What's this? The definition of a sensitive new age guy? It's pitiful.

Anyway, it's late, and the school general office was mad enough to call me just to tell me that I have to take a National Environmental Agency survey tomorrow afternoon.


Oh yes, Sugz and Soef came over today and I introduced them to the genius that is Douglas Adams. Watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the nth time. Still loving it.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

So.

Reeling from the devastating effects of our sad GP and Econs grades...
Some of 33/06 just had to go for therapy.


Ice-cream, is good.

Econs, is bad.

Quotes of the day:
"Do you think I can kill myself with my graphic calculator?"

"Maybe I should swallow the batteries."

"Time for rat-poison ice-cream."

"How many inventive ways can you think of to die?"


Econs was the worst subject to come back for our class. The highest is 48%, and I guess I should just be thankful I even got that.

GP - C
Lit - D
Econs - D
Hist - ?
H1 Math - A
Chi - C

Lit is undoubtably the lowest at 46%. Woohoo.

Anyway.
Went out for dinner with Himi and Rish after the longest, longest time of not doing so. HAVE MISSED THEM MUCH. Finally exchanged birthday presents with Rish. (We were both born in February.)


X-Worship 2006 CD, in this nice CD jacket that says this.
Thanks guys.. =)

Ate at Marina Square. Azabu Sabo.
Great Japanese desserts! Which was mostly what we ate.



Chibby couldn't come. :( *points to top left corner of photo*
And no, the pasta in the bottom right was dinner at the food court.

Himi's phone is blinged and Rish still has a monstrous regiment hanging off hers. Lol.
We've grown up a bit, but I'm glad I still have them in my life. *hugs*
Life wouldn't be the same if I hadn't met you guys.

Sooo.. More soon because it's past 12.35AM and there's school tomorrow.
Joy.

..Alright. So Liz decided to be good and head down for Cosfest, despite Darry's "It's shitty down here." warning.

Sooo.. Went down past 5.30PM after service, just to see everyone on stage during the finale.. didn't bother taking many pictures, although cosplay events are ironically The place to be taking pictures. It would just be like every other year, just swap the faces of cosplayers and costumes.



Took a shot with Totchi, who did Jack Sparrow.


Him: You'll better try and shoot me first because I'm going to hug you!

Sparrow's cool, nevertheless. Totchi is too, he always does the weirdest stuff... *remembers previous years* Sparrow suits him, in any case.

And Sarah C.


!PinkRanger.

Said hi to the few people I still knew.
Elmo, who's still buff. Ter, who looks like every other NS guy now with the bald head, black-rimmed specs and number fours. The Ultimate Duuuuuuuude gang: Totchi, Kuro, Salad and Zio. Tama, whose books are STILL with me after 3, 4 years. And everytime he sees me that's all he asks for. Darry and c0w, c0w has happening hair now seh. Mana, Nevar, Xrysx... all people I've guiltily not been in touch with.. and the most important people, the very individuals whom I've called best friends for so long yet on my own part not been keeping in touch with..

Himi, Rish and Chibby.


(Taken last year in September, Himi's birthday, Singapore Zoological Gardens.)

(Today. End of Cosfest after Rish changed out of her costume.)


SIGH. I look at the THEN and NOW... like not much difference lei.
Okay la my hair grew longer. That's about it. Facial expressions also the same. *facepalm*

But I really do love these people, even though I've not done my duty as a good friend and tried to stay in touch with them. Going for dinner with them tomorrow. Will probably be in full TJ glory. Horrors.


Still decidedly don't like events. I heard more expletives being exchaged in that one hour at Cosfest than I have for the entire year put together. It's one big politcal affair, and everyone's favourite pasttime is bitching about other cosplayers. But that's how it always was, and I was there once.


Dumdumdum! Anyway on a seperate note, a discussion in the car today.

*driving to Downtown East, rain comes splattering down outside vehicle*
Mom: Eh girl, you better take umbrella.
Me: Carry the whole big umbrella? Don't want lah. So orh-beet (you know, orbit? yes? yes?) Imagine me carrying that around the place talking to my friends.
Sis: *driving, laughs* So orbital!
Me: Yeah lor. *pauses* Eh Mom, orbit is a Hokkien word is it?
Mom: Huh, yeah. It means off-beat.
Sis/Me: HUH?! But you said it was Hokkien!
Mom: Yah, that's how Hokkien people pronounced off-beat.
Sis/Me: OMGZ. You mean all this time we've been using it thinking it actually meant something, and it was a mispronunciation of an English word?!

So. Horror of horrors.. After all these years of thinking orbit was a real word. *feels cheated*


And oh, did a long, interesting meme/quiz/thingy, but since blogger finds the code so very disagreable, you'll just have to do it from my LJ.

Sunday morning.

Really don't feel like going for Cosfest later. Knowingly, I'll be missing all those people but after about 20 minutes of being there, I'll just want to leave. That's how I always feel at events, the general overwhelming aura of oppression just hits me real hard, and it's the emotions that radiate off people that leave me taken aback.


Had one of those little family reunions at my second aunt's place last night cause my two cousins were back from the US(the SAF pilot) and Aussie(the med student). Spent it sitting at the dining table having a discussion with 3 other TJCians and 2 Victorians, the older half of cousinhood that weren't stuck watching Singapore Idol in the living room. The pilot, who is married to his chio, similarly Victorian wife, and the med student, who is most verily quite fond of his TJCian girlfriend. And sis, of course. Lol.

The TJCian pair are so.. endearing. It's the typical kind of couple you'll expect to come waltzing out of TJ. Almost. She's so absolutely adorable. She's bubbly, mischievous, innocent, sweet and blur all rolled into one. And she's a scholar, so yes, once again, there's hope. And my cousin is just, well, your typical Chinese boy. Playful at times, stoic at others, responsible.. and even though they're both only 21 their relationship looks so blissfully stable. She's not sticky, and gets along very well with all the cousins. The younger ones love her to bits. And the adults think very highly of her. Gaaaaaah. They just look so cute together.

And family reunions are just convenient excuses for all the mothers to start sharing embarassing tales about their offsprings, especially with the latest addition of Natalie (born Dec 2005), I realized I miscounted yesterday and my generation on my mother's side has a grand total of 10 individuals.

How we all grow up so quickly. Heh.


Oh yeah, did about a third of the board yesterday in the heat of the afternoon, you can just read Nick's blog for details, lol.

Contemplating which service to go for later, and whether to turn up for Cosfest at all. It's not that I don't miss Himi, Rish, Lex and the entire long list of good friends I've made while being part of that world, but... Zzz.

Wheeeeee.

Alright.

Came home today with an entire schedule for myself.
But ended up sleeping past 9.00PM.
Was shiok anyway. Don't know why I've been so tired these past couple of days but I'm glad that fatigue is finally gone.

Blood donation drive in school these past couple of days. Gobok always looks so cheerful. Is it even normal to smile that much all the time? The bright yellow jersey he wore today only served to further accentuate his sunny disposition.

Oh yeah, today was TJ's attempt at promoting our vibrant culture by allowing us to wear our favourite soccer jerseys.

They're gonna screen the finals in school as well, TJ's always so rahrah about sports. Lets see them show the same level of enthusiasm for the arts. I mean, nothing wrong with sports..

Napfa training has started. They haven't put us through the 3km uphill route yet.

My mind's functioning the way a mind does after it's just been woken up from a really long nap.
Ho.

Sooo. Wanted to donate blood, or at least, contemplated it after seeing how gross it was to have your life sucked from your veins into this little plastic bag. But everything was pretty much not in my favour, cause for one I'm an alpha thalassemia carrier, which absolutely affects me in no way whatsoever, but I asked anyway, and this is the reply I got in return..

"Oh, sure! We'll take it, but we won't take all the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets and only use the plasma."

Sooo. Strike one. Then they said that Mom's verbal consent was insufficient and I would need a signature, and she obviously wasn't going to come down just so they could they could take this, so.. maybe next time. Soef says they'll.. be back in 3 months? Lol.


Hmm.
Sooo, we were going for lunch as usual today.



And came across one of my favourite individuals. It's there almost every day, in some visible part of the path we take to hawker centre, and it never fails to amuse me.. because...



It's just too cute.



No it's not dead. It just sleeps this way, every time I see it, it's in some funky sleeping position.

And here's another of it as we were heading back to school.


"Noooo~ It's too bright! Go awaaay!"

Too cute.
Hehe.

This is turning into a good bad good habit.

TKGSSB concert last evening, on a Wednesday of all days, lovely time to meet up with the seniors. In fact I suppose it's the only time I ever get to see people like Hippo, Armstrong, Yenn Weii and Jia Ying these days.. AlexPhut is another story. That girl's insane.

So! It was.. well. It wasn't bad by any means. Definitely better than the last concert. Sharyn had quite a number of solos.

And I just hate it that they had to play If We Hold On Together for encore. I guess that's when it really hit how much I miss being a part of TKGSSB. The quote that we used to be our mantra. "If we hold on together, I know our dreams will never die." Bad to get sentimental. :P

How many times we used to repeat that to ourselves, how many times as SBA. How we laughed, how we cried. How we sat on the Esplanade rooftop at night. How we made a promise, one I'm almost afraid we can't keep.

And TKGSSB is what brought me to TJCSB. Even though it's going to be a unpaved road from here. The J2s have left. Sarah and I are struggling. I've asked Amanda again. There were quite a few saxists who came to try out for DSA, hopefully those who don't get it will be able to get in by merit, and we'll have a nice comfortably sized section. God... you see the needs of this band, and the inabilities of your daughter. Sigh.

But Lord, thank you that I know that my flesh was crucified on the cross with Christ, and this life I'm living now.. It is not I who lives, but Christ who lives in me.

For if by the one man's (Adam's) offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
Romans 5: 17


GOD WILL GET ME THROUGH THIS!

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5: 1-5

Yes.. It shall all be well, including my less than examplary results that have been coming in.

7 hasn't been tagging lately, but anyway... if you're reading this, I can almost feel a smug ounce of sad, ironic triumph to tell you that I failed Lit for the first time in my life. Even my Chinese grade is higher. And oh, I passed Chinese. zomg. Thank you JESUS. Lol. He even gave me 5 free marks when by divine intervention (or in layman's terms, tyco) I got all the questions in the '4 choose 1' section of a particularly ridiculously difficult close passage right.


And well.. I'm sure there was more I wanted to blog about.
Oh yeah.

Quote of the day:

"*stares* I can't stand those drawstrings of yours, it's like someone bleached your intestines white and they're falling out through your navel." ~ An unidentified History teacher.

Self-explanatory. :D



And ohhhh.. One more thing.
VON IS LOVE!
Haha.. Okay so this dear girl blogged this a few days ago...

"Lizzy!! I have something for you! Haha, it's this green little thing that looks exactly like you. HOHO. Even my elder sis agrees."

And I thought to myself.. 'Green may indisputably be my favourite colour, but there is no way anyone can find a 'green little thing' that looks anything like me.'

So.
I was wrong.



Say hi to the Green Little Thing keychain.

*hugs Vonnie* Thank yoooooou. XD XD XD
Classmates found it very agreeable with Von's analogy that it 'looks like me'. Though Soefie said it would be more characteristic if it wasn't holding a heart (implication of Lizzy's apparent heartlessness). :P I would say it would be more characteristic if it wasn't so cute.
Thanks babeeee.. =)


Blood donation drive at TJ today/tomorrow. Anyone feeling particularly healthy do go and support the Cult Leo Club's cause. Can't call it the Cult anymore since Gobok and Samantha are Pres and Vice-Pres. Hahahaha.

Laughing to myself again.
Gosh. -_O

More 33/06 goodness, bad(ness), lameness. *pats Gorgeous affectionately*

OKIE.
Things I wanna go for!
In general, Theatre Studio Season 2006! Soef wants to go for The Red Room, which looks fairly cool.

AND. I definitely want to go for this, ACSian Theatre and TJ Drama are performing their SYF pieces in that same slot. I WANNA GO! I know it's a Saturday, and there'll probably be Caregroup, but I really want to watch both schools. I still feel strongly attached in some way to AC, and I want to go and support everyone I know in TJ Drama, which is a healthy handful (I would think).


ANYWAY!
Spent my Youth Day sitting in Starbucks reading Pride & Prejudice while Jason studied physics. I LOVE AUSTEN! She may take an entire 6.5 hours to finish telling the almost predictable, repeatedly plagerized story that has been bastardized way too many times by every serial drama scriptwriter in almost every imaginable language, (AND SIS IS BADGERING ME FOR THE COM insertscowlhere) but the book was absolutely lovely. *beams in satisfaction* So yes, I finished all 61 chapters in one sitting (and three toilet breaks), much to the amazement and disbelief of my classmates who don't even want to consider what a lie I must be telling, finishing P&P in one sitting indeed!

AHHHHHH! Elizabeth Bennet is so cool. The wit and humour of P&P is so.. beautiful. I wish want to be able to write prose as beautifully as Austen. And Darcy is so.. (inserthappysighhere). You can either take this to be a bimbo or fangirl moment, whichever traumatizes you least.

But yes, there's Bingley, your typical amiable, accomodating, pleasing character. Wickham, the jerk disguised as a gentleman. Collins, who is such a sad excuse for romance that I shan't even try describing him. And of course, Darcy, who's totally hot. He's got the attitude, the character, the mannerisms, the epitomy of nearly perfect, as stories go, of course. Though Soef prefers the Bingley type. Bwahaha.

And the female stereotypes as well. Jane, sweet, all endearing, all mild-mannered, pretty and kind, who inevitably ends up with Bingley. What Rishik said was quite true though, two nice, accomodating people together make a very boring couple. Sweet, but boring. Lizzy Bennet, unafraid to have her voice heard, little regard for what deserves the least of her attentions... so totally cool with words. So totally meant for Darcy. (Squee!) Charlotte, plain and boring, who ends up with Collins. Lydia, the foolish, embarassing excuse for a sister who elopes with Wickham... and Kitty and Mary who are nearly not worth mentioning. (Not quite boring, just aren't interesting enough for me to want to write about them so early in my digestion of the novel.)

I really hope studying P&P's going to be as enjoyable as reading the book. Sometimes too much of a good thing is bad. It would be too dear if I ever were to be sick of it.
Now to read Shakespeare's The Tempest for Mr Rajesh's class. *insert determined, almost laughable expression here*


And oh! SAW DISHY ON THE BUS TODAY! XD XD XD
MISS YOU BABEEEEEE! *hugs and squeezes and chokes to near death*

Time for Sissy to take over Cyberspace I think.
Raaa.

JTS (Junior Treat Senior) tonight. Lizzy has generally been trigger happy since she's had Gorgeous.
(Mostly because it's so convenient to just upload everything onto my computer with this wonderful device Nokia was always too stingy to provide known as an USB cable.)


Played pool, at last... Haha.. have yet to go play with Rishik and wonder if we actually will anytime in the near future if you take into consideration our mad schedules and what the remnants of our (his) free time will actually spent doing.. :P


Gosh.. I want to blog properly again, like you know all those objectionally long entries which everyone never wants to bother finish reading.

But for now... *nuas*
=X
