Current status: Sleepy

Hair-colour: Black under normal circumstances, coffee-brown under strong sunlight.
Right or left: Right

LAYER 2: THE INSIDE
My Heritage: Chinese; Hokkien, if you want to delve into dialects and all that.

My Bedtime: Now? 1 AM thereabouts.

McDonald’s or Burger King: Whichever has the better deal, lol.
Single or Group Dates: I prefer going out with a group, if that's what you mean.
Adidas or Nike: I'm a total Adidas girl. Unless Nike has something really pretty.

Smoke: Passive-smoking, yes. Active, no.
Curse: I try not to, but I have been heard swearing on occasion.
Take Showers: -nods- It saves times.
Have a Crush: Shim Changmin counts right?.
Think You’ve Been In Love: I'll echo Azalea and Ruiqi by saying "define love."

LAYER 8: AGE YOU’RE HOPING…
To Get Married: Before I die, definitely. Maybe before 30?

LAYER 9: IN A GUY, WHAT ARE YOUR PREFERENCES?
Best Eye Colour: I have a fetish for guys with red eyes. But it's physically impossible (unless you're albino), so I'll go with brown.
Best Hair Colour: Dark hair. Or that ochre that Yunho and Changmin had on X-man.
Short Hair or Long Hair: Long, as in Tri-Angle era Junsu? Er, no. (Even though I thought he looked cute!) Probably something like Changmin or Junsu's current hair.

my lj writing comm has 110 members. -is very proud and touched-

I. LOVE. MY. READERS.

anyway! purple line dance class, had first session yesterday. it was very very very fun. and now, i've got even more respect for dong bang, because it's a wonder that they can dance and sing it at the same time and not get breathless. i still don't get some of the steps, like jaejoong's wave/octopus move, need to practice. and the entire song is very very fast. oh, and i'm proud to say i've memorised the lyrics to purple line for both the korean and japanese versions. now, if only this power of memorisation would transfer itself to physics and chemistry, that would help loads.

my flu is back with a vengeance.

and i should not be reading loveless manga so early in the morning.

you hold the other line

This is scary. I don’t want to write a diary. As long as your thoughts are on paper, it’s fine. But diaries? A lot of assignments I don’t feel like doing , but this is the first one that makes me want to run. The thoughts I’m having now are bad ones. I can’t write them.

And yet… I have the desire to write the best diary of all.

I want to be good.

Wrong.

I want to be terrific.

Wrong.

I have to be terrific.

And that’s wrong. I can feel that I’m going to pay. Some awful price is waiting for me, like a monster in the dark.

- Juvenilia, Chapter 1

This is the umpteenth time I've felt this way. My morale has been lowered impeccably during the last few days. Not comfortable with sharing, just so you know, it involves a hell lot of drama, relationship problems and disturbing revelations about both my physical and mental health from various sources.

Yeah.

And being sick with the flu today does not help to improve my mood. :/

words lost in the moment

Ahem.

I've returned back to civilisation.

After five days of suffering in OBS at Pulau Ubin.

I am happy.

Following Kerry's style:

I don't have to:

Wake up at 5 am every morning to unpitch tents in the dark. Seriously, I was nearly half-blind in the dark. Okay, not so much when we were at campsite 1 and 2. I'm specifically talking about the Jelutong campsite (screw the spelling, I don't care right now).
Eat squashed food for breakfast and lunch 90% of the time. Our rations were okay, but there was like, an overdose of bread or something. I mean, eight loaves of bread? Kind of overdoing it. Not to mention the last four loaves we had on Day 5 were really really badly squashed. Oh, and don't forget the crushed biscuits and fruit. The food was good though. Chocolate caaaakkkkeeee. 8D
Open cans with a jacknife. I prefer my can opener kthx. My thumb hurt from trying to push the knife into the can, but I finished it, so yay me. ♥
Trek for ages carrying heavy backpacks. No kidding about this one. I was nearly bent over 90 degrees because my bag was heavy. It was like... I think 10kg? Thank goodness for the thunderstorm that hit, at least we got to rest for a while despite being soaked to the bone.
Wake up at 1.30 AM to do sentry duty at a public campsite. It was damn scary. Because there's totally no light except for a few lamp posts and our torchlights (which I lost mine on Day 5, so I'm sad), and there's a possibility of wild dogs and wild boars coming out from nowhere and the sea can be kind of scary when the entire place is SILENT. So yes, sentry duty? Not one of the highlights of OBS.
Suffer from sandfly and mosquito bites. THANK YOU, INSECT REPELLENT (kudos to Kerry for this one). I'd never thought I'd say this, but Tiger Balm helps on those bites. :D
Take showers in under 5 minutes. This is horror, I tell you. You have to literally RUSH for the toilet, or you'll not get a chance to bathe. I washed my hair with shampoo at the washing point after our one-hour kayak session, and ran to the toilet to shower and get the sand and seawater out of me. I still ended up being one of the last. Pffft.
Run 200 metres to the nearest toilet when Nature calls. I AM SERIOUS.
Cook with solid fuel tablets, which emit noxious fumes. Not forgetting that time we burnt the rice.
Kayak for 9 solid hours over a distance of 15+ km. (Plus because we had to go a slight detour). I'd probably do it again if I had to. Because it was rather fun! (: We really kayaked 3/4 of Pulau Ubin's perimeter. It was tiring. Definitely.

And after kayaking for nine hours straight:

Biscuits, buns and muesli bars save the day. They gave me the energy boost after my arm DIED in the first two hours of kayaking.
You do your business in the sea. No kidding. You hop off your kayak, get into the cold water, and pee there. Gross, but to quote Mingxuan, "excellent team bonding session, peeing is."
You get sunburnt very very easily. Because your hands keep dipping into the water when you kayak, the sunblock is washed off really easily and you get burnt so much that you look like a lobster. >| (Ergo, mine)
Your arms ache like crazy during and after the expedition. My arms were going to break at any moment. And yes, blisters were my good friend. And not to mention, the kayaks were heavy like shit.
You desperately want to shower. But you can't since you have to wash all the kayaks and get rid of all the rubbish inside. So, you settle for hosing yourself down with the water that's supposed to be for the kayaks.

Highlights of OBS:

Rockclimbing. Funnnn. :DDDD Because I got over my fear of heights. Somewhat. And the teachers were there too, on the second day! They're too free without having us to turn all their hairs gray.
Outdoor cooking. I think it's the most fun of all the food-related stuff I had to do, being food IC. Especially on the last day, omg.
Theresa's apple crumble. THAT WAS THE BEST DESSERT EVER IN OBS KTHX.
Getting to sleep. I needed every single SECOND of that much needed 6 hours.

Memorable moments:

When the teachers came to visit on the second day. We all went "Ohmytian, really? They're here?! EVEN SIOW JUNIOR?!" Hahaha. I think we all went hyper and everything. But then again, the teachers must have been really free to come and visit us. Must be because we aren't there to drive them crazy for the entire week. Yeah, so they watched us rock-climb and everything.
During the kayaking expedition. My arm died in the first two hours, and then I had attention from the instructors and everything because I was at the back of the fleet, even behind the sweepers. Then I switched partners, ate a kaya bun, gulped down half my remaining water, and chionged all the way to the front, just behind Sam Low and Zanita, who were leading the expedition. Very very fulfilling. ;D And then Syahirah and I maintained our position, all the way to the end and we were the third kayak after Sam to reach the shore. We da coolest, yo.
Souvenir shopping! I have never spent so much in my life in one go. Minus that time I was at Kinokuniya. I bought one polo tee, one sleeveless tee, two photographs and one notebook. Huichee, Regina and I spent like $96 in one order form. 8D
Finally reaching civilisation. When we saw the MRT tracks at Punggol, we all cheered and laughed like crazy. Heartwarming, indeed.

Quotable Quotes:

"Guys, there's Singapore. Let's look over there, and feel sorry for ourselves." - Kerry C. (at Jelutong while washing up. Slightly edited because I can't remember exactly.)
*Massive cheering when the MRT track comes into view*
"Woah, you girls act like you never see MRT track before ah! Don't embarrass me can in front of the bus driver can?!"
*Some more cheering and laughing*
"Aiyoh, you girls very scary. I got one magic word for you: MacDonalds."
*Cheers even louder* - Mr. Poon and us (During the bus ride back to CGS)
"On Tuesday, you have to check your papers..."
"BURN THEM." - Mr. Poon and us (Also dring the bus ride back to CGS)

More to be added when I can remember them.

After OBS:

I will never ever take proper toileting facilities for granted. Ever again.
I will never ever take home-cooked food and drinks for granted ever again. I started treating coffee like a luxury already :/
After being deprived of music for so long, I am determined to sit through my entire iTunes library at least once.

The first thing I ate after OBS was proper home-cooked fried bee hoon by my grandma, who made it specially for me. I felt so loved. :'D And I was grinning like an idiot at the living room while watching a movie with my brother. It was almost pure heaven. AND I DRANK proper water. Not those chlorinated and seawater-esque water you get from the taps at Pulau Ubin. Drinkable, but it tasted all chemical-y.

And then I took a full half-an-hour to shower, and I made sure I got out EVERY single bit of sand and salt from my body. Bliss. I say again, utter bliss.

I suddenly feel like sleeping for 15 hours straight, which I think it's kind of impossible considering that I woke up at 5 am today. Again. D:

ARMSTRONG, FTW. CAMP 2 ALPHA, WE ROCK.

Haydn essay = mid-years.

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:34:13 GMT

I shall chiong home immediately after O level music mid-year practical tomorrow to work on my Haydn essay. I'm completely rewriting it, since I feel it's totally crap and doesn't flow very well, since I copied-and-pasted most of my entire essay.

Ergo, my CD of Haydn's symphonies is with my dad's friend.

I am so screwed.

Damnit, can I pon tuition tomorrow?

But somehow, I think chiu laoshi's going to be mad at me. Okay, not mad, but very disappointed.

OH SHIT. I FORGOT TO PRINT EMATHS 2005.

LYNETTE, YOU HAVE TO LEND ME YOUR PAPER OR I'M SCREWED x 10000000000000 to infinity.

Yup.

-dies-

Aigo, mid-years officially start tomorrow.

Yay. Note sarcasm kthx.

And the seeds are sown;

Title ripped from TheCherryOnTop.

Dad, I only have one word to say to you.

STFU.

I know I'm in the wrong, but whattheheck, do you HAVE to harp for 20++++ minutes about the issue?

DAMNIT, just move on.

Now, I'm pissed, you're pissed.

It all works out.

Yay. -sarcasm-

I really should be mugging.

But guess what?

I'm not in the mood to anymore.
