can't sleep! (Saturday, January 31, 2009 / 11:04 AM)
It is 3am in the morning and i am suffering from severe insomnia.maybe i shouldnt have gone running at 9(heard that exercise increases one's metabolic rate-exercise 3 hours before you go to bed people!),drunk tea after dinner(pu-er,rickshaw brand) and eaten dinner at 6 ( i am damn hungry now,just drank a glass of milk).
well, so i am considering doing something productive,such as blogging.riiiiiiigggghhhhtttt
As such, i shall discuss various ways,as suggested on the internet, on how to make poor insomnia sufferers like i fall into the land of nodnod.
1.Acupuncture
nooo! kitteh!
seems like a relatively painful method,albeit worth a try.i dont feel very sleepy looking at this picture somehow.i have yet to reach that level of sadism :S
2.Biofeedback
Biofeedback, like many other relaxation techniques, is used to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety, ADHD, migraine headaches, and insomnia. During a session, the patient monitors the physiological responses of his or her body — such as heart rate, blood pressure and muscle tension — on a machine and concentrates on trying to control one or more of these responses.
please hook yourself up to the Sleep Relaxation Machine by inserting electrically conductive copper wires up your nostrils and the waistband of your pants.300volts of electrical energy would then be channeled down the uninsulated wires to aid into lulling.your condition would be monitored by hitting your head repeatedly with a pandybat.If you wake up cursing and swearing,your cognitive functions would show to be working properly,congratulations.However, If you do not respond, i am sad to inform you that you are dead.
huh,like this?
sorry,insomniacs are not in a proper state of mind.
doesnt seem very relaxing to me D:

well, i am finally a little sleepy now.shall attempts to lull into slumber.
EDIT: it is 4am alrd.still awake.urhg.
of movies and stuff (Wednesday, January 28, 2009 / 6:11 AM)
integration is killing me.okay maybe it is partially my fault because i didnt go for the lecture...but then it is still really difficult with the 1001 formulas to remember! haixyayaya.
friends and fellow classmates,forgive me if i act irrationally this year.i have a tendency to do so on the year of the final exams..during sec 4, i got easily irritated when my friends appeared unfocused on their studies cos i was chionging like mad myself.
maybe it is puberty,with all the hormones and testosterone and adrenaline spurting out of my endocrine glands.or maybe i am secretly A MAN.O__________O
ok enough with the rubbish.
went to watch inkheart with wenzhen as we left early during cny.dont blame us for that, we thought it would be like last year and we had no idea/received no new that there was going to be a class outing after that.oh well,dont regret it anw,cos we HAD FREE TIX,kudos to my mum who always magicks free movie tickets out of nowhere! and i happen to dislike watching movies alone
.HAHA I DID NOT CAVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE TO WATCH TWILIGHT/PONYO!! XD
actually thats cos it was the only movie left that was watch-worthy.i have no faith in singaporean material.
overall, it was a pretty interesting show,thought not one of the best that i have watched. was quite cool that whatever that you read came to life.but i heard that it was pretty similar to bedtime stories?lol i am not sure i never watched that movie.
till next time when i actually have something interesting to blog about.:)
in the meantime,stare at the egg :

happy chinese niu year!! (Sunday, January 25, 2009 / 7:48 AM)
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
A new blogskin for the new chinese new year,hopefully up by the time you read this.
even though i havent drawn properly in a very long time...i dunno why, i was compelled to pick up my pen and doodle for a bit.i dont really like pencils because they are kind of an impediment to my spontaneous art attacks!
as you can see, i am quite an irregular and irrational person? haha
and dont wear red this year because the bull will come and attack you! haha so stupid lah! it has been scientifically proven that red doesnt particularly excite the bull,it will come if you shake a cloth of any colour at it! :))
lets lao yu sheng!( i hate to eat it btw)WEEEEE!!!!!!!
oh no! (Monday, January 19, 2009 / 12:08 AM)
skipped school today because i was feeling pretty pms-sy and moody the day before and had a horrible sore throat. i really should cut down on my ponning habits but i feel like the motivation for me to go to school is dwindling.anyway todays lessons were pretty useless (gp and math) so all the more i didnt want to go! haha
and yeah, i was out with my aunt yesterday when i excused myself to go to the toilet.and there was this absurdly long queue,so being stupid, i went to queue along with them.then i noticed there were 3 empty cubicle doors, so i walked forward,wondering if the toilets were choked/full of shit/spoilt. but no,there were functioning normally,just that they happened to look like this:
sometimes i really cannot understand girls.squat to pee then squat lo.it is not like there is anyone to watch you do something so unglam, if you are worried about that.Admittedly,i prefer the sitting toilets (dunno what theyre called so i shall call them sitting toilets),but then is it worth queueing so long for?
i wonder if the same thing happens in guys toilets.
okay off with the toilet conversations in case it totally grosses people out.
by the way,because my life is so boring,there is barack obama's swearing in ceremony tommorow.(the previous 2 statements totally no link, but whatever) but what i see actually are speculations about his wife, michelle's dress and who is gonna design it(showing support for the failing american economy by using an american designer such as calvin klein blah blah how tall and slim she is blahblah).oh great can the americans be any more materialistic. i mean ,who gives a damn what she wears as long as her husband does a good job?
then singapore can go back to relying on america's economy instead of implementing useless measures such as hua yu cool! to suck up to other countries! (: oh wait, now china is struck by the melamine scandal!!! what shall we do!
oh yes, i finally got the balls to sign up for the safari zoo run 2009!$48 okay!!!:( actually it was supposed to be $38 but then they last minute asked me if i wanted the finishing certificate which cost another $10.then i was caught in inner turmoil for about three seconds before i agreed cos i wanted something to remember this by. i guess it was worth it for the experience, but then now my wallet is crying :( will have photos next time xD too lazy for now.
so paiseh, i was signing up when they asked me
volunteer: are you signing up with your friends?
me: no...none of my friends run.
they are lazy otakusvolunteer: *gives a symphathetic look* well it must be hard for a girl like you to run 6.2km alone..
me:oh, thats an okay distance for me.*runs away*
here is the route,i wish it was a loop though, so i could go a second round to take photos or something.it is on a saturday, i hope i am not too tired after chinese orchestra to go for the run! haha..
of the start of school (Saturday, January 17, 2009 / 4:57 PM)
been having a crappy digestive system lately,feel very bloated after a meal and i cant skip meals as often as usual or else i will get extreme gastric pain... not very sure why..could it be IBS?O____o noo
for those not sure what it is,here is the wikipedia definition:
In gastroenterology, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also called spastic colon, is a functional bowel disorder characterized by mild to severe abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alteration of bowel habits. oh no, my intestines are retarded!and NO, i was not the one that farted in class!
been having a packed schedule lately, with running,Co, my enzyme project which i have put on hold lately and increasing amounts of homework.. i find that my rest days are occupied by just stoning around or walking aimlessly.omg,this proves to be a
serious depletion of brain cells!there has been pressure for me in certain areas,such as CO cos i only learnt my instrument last year and the speed is way too fast for me to catch up -_-guess i will have to practise more then.it helps that kaijie is there during practice ( strings n cello sit quite close tgt) to entertain me by copying my bored face during rehearsals.eh, the stupid instrument very sian okay!i guess it has grown on me eventually after i have become better,but then...
i am kind of looking forward to chinese new year, if only for the money? haha.gary neo did warn us that we would be mugging during chinese new year n never fails to remind that block that is only about roughly a month away..wtf??? even if use one week per subject also not enough...however the gravity of the situation hasn't sunk in much yet
As for the lessons that have resumed,the teachers are more or less the same..a notable difference would be the changing of our ct teacher from pereira to Mr FOO.omg, i tell you he totally
OWNS man.at first we thought that he would be the bully-able type from the way he was clueless about how things work,but during his lesson we found out he was really blunt la.he would go "i left XXX school because i dont like XXX!(authority figure) and actually, i dont like XXX even more!" LOL, it is hard to find people as straightforward as that nowadays.
plus i dont think i left a very good first impression on him by barging into the classroom halfway( i had lit lessons before that so i was slightly late),stoned for a bit and was like "er, hi.",waved, and proceeded to the seat of the back row -_-not sure why the class found it quite funny LOL.
i havent been talking to my overseas friends lately, i guess it is because of time constraints and a lack of stuffs to talk about..
me:hey, hows life?
tock:sucks/boring/doesnt reply because his com has hanged
*OFFLINE*
me:dude, i wish you a better connection for the new year *signs off*
blogging from school computer,sweeet (Wednesday, January 14, 2009 / 6:21 PM)
only hours away from the impending chemistry test and i feel as if i havent studied at all for it.
oh crap,not a way to start off the first test of the year by flunking it.i understand that they are pressed for time but why do they have to include so many chapters in one go?so many structured qns some more :(
i dont know whether i want the year to be longer or shorter.TORTURE>.< it is even stressful to be in class sometimes.to have to watch the way i act and present myself to others so as not to offend people accidentally with my naturally gross self.haha.. i just want to enjoy myself this year.open up to more people.i am not isolating myself,seriously,and i wont let anyone do that to me.i just dont know what to say,how to act, in a manner that would please people.i cant make everyone like me,but i dont want to have any enemies either.
oh no i abhor emo-ing ..-_-...despite my growing sado-masochism.
hahahah was freaking tired yester..reached home at 9 from CO pratice,ate dinner,read a bit of chem n totally fell asleep on the bed. ding xiaoyan (our conductor,also known affectionately as bell little swallow,directly translated)went mad yesterday and stayed back with the entire tanbo(strings) section until 8pm++.then the guzheng guy came to
seduce practise with her. and we had to solo some parts -_- oh shit must practise more.
so ends my utterly boring day.my timetable sucks man,i'd rather they eradicate thehours and hours of break that we have n let us go home earlier.
and oh yeah,does anyone have the feeling of something vibrating in their pocket and dig around to find that they are only your wallet and keys inside?and that your hp is inside your bag?
omg i have become so attached to my hp that it has become integrated with a part of me.nooooo...i vibrate spontaneously!
better return back to my chem notes, then,wish me all the best!return me my brains,someone,As dont grow on trees!
NanYang Junior College Immersion Programme(teasers) (Thursday, January 8, 2009 / 3:31 AM)
I just realized how much i missed SYC when instead of typing Ny immersion programme i typed SYC instead -_-no shit ^^
nvm Immersion was still an experience,tt type which you whine about for days but then in the end u end up not regretting going for it.not that i reallly reallly loved it or anything..but it was..an experience which i wouldnt pass over
I was an ogl for the camp mind you, which means that i had to be high agn D: really lah, ever since i have come into NYJC ive become one of those more enthu people??but then due to lack of energy reserves sometimes i will stone(or as stupid jon alwz say i emo)
Sometimes i wonder what is the purpose of blogging.i mean,who cares what happens in your life? you have better things to do anyway.It is just opening up your life for retarded people to spam and attack you(bad experience).
First Day
in my group,Melman 4,only 8 people turned up ,with only one lone,unenthusiastic marist guy in the group of gals.some of them were quite enthusiastic to the point of screaming like mad but some were so quiet i had to ask them for their name three times before i could catch what they were saying -_-.but overall a pretty manageable group.
Firstfew of the many boring lectures to come..the collection of consent forms and money was kind of a MESS -__- i still feel that it should have been organized in a much better way.
some more that idiot louis keep ponning cos he is really very busy,got skit and stuffs to do.but being the naturally high n retarded person,he kinda set the momentum for more interaction.but ni bu yao yi wei ni mei you tou fa jiu hen li hai la.haha!
and yes the council skit was funny somewhat xD..it was Madagascas themed.i felt that the giraffe and the penguins were quite cute.the council mass dance was nice too but seemed a little hard(noob dancers like me lah)
Next up was the NY trail.basically played games sted by some CCAs..for example CO (musical chairs(WOOOOOOO!!)),dragonboat(tug of war) and council ( some lame mat flipping thing),choir(some treasure hunt like game..)
After that had a few games..yada...stoned,played,slacked,insulted people...xD
when i got home i totally,fantastically fainted on the bed (after doing a little homework)
Second Day
Boring lectures in the morning.people were either sleeping at the back or doing their homework.ryan,being the disgusting person he is,of cos finished all n was revising math.yucks.
but then omg the nandwani dude was so damn funny.he started screaming n talking about the singapore govt at one point on how we should deal in the economic recession.then boonbin shouted "CUT CIVIL SERVANT WAGES!!!!"
that was damn funny. i think i laughed the hardest tt day.
CO performed.i think i will get smacked for saying this.although the pieces were fairly nice(i think) most of us were in the canteen eating as they were performing during lunchtime.Hence, it was barely heard and quite a waste of them to perform.even though they have been practising for this.hmm..must slot in more bonding time for CO.oh yeah there will be cos there is practice on sat.which i will suck at.sian la.
and oh yes,the food was edible,but quite sucky.
there was this PW fiesta
Third Day
Yet to come lah
NYJC immersion programme briefing (Monday, January 5, 2009 / 7:08 AM)
changed my skin agn.just for the heck of it.
went for the nyjc immersion programme briefing today.initially i thought it was only gonna b a boring verbal briefing but guess what???there was a dry run as well where we had to run around school doing activities organized by each cca.then my partner,louis,pangseh-ed me to do some orientation thing so i sort of stuck ard with the other ppl.
choir
some game where we have to look for people from a clue (their body part) and do the task we were assigned to do.quite lame la,actually,cos we had 2 do things like,run 3 rounds around the fountain??do 5 star jumps??.....i hope they have better stuff for the actual immersion,but otherwise it was pretty okay.
NYCO- WOOO!!! WOOO!! WOOO!!!WOOOOO!!!WOOOO!!!WOOO!!! haha!i wanted really really really badly to be able to play with them,
fk being an ogl, i havent played for ages.they were being retarded as usual by commending my excellence in musical chairs(got into the top 4)play already can go home already lah,not like me have to stay whole day.
dragonboat-some tug of war competition..typical -_-the winning team would vs the dragonboat team! O_O EPIC FAIL LA.but then,we WON anw cos we had a couple of male db-ers on our side n the other side had only 2 guys.haha.NYCO was shifting instruments back to the CO room (which was near the gym) back then,so they went to er,cheer me on.NYCO vs NYDB tug of war competition..who'd win?of course us la.(jx + zhiyang sit on rope/melanie's magnetic field =pwnzz db team.LOL WTF)
floorball-we realized how bad we were.nil-nil.need i say more?
council (i think)-some competition where each of us tie a piece of paper to our foot n try 2 step another persons paper off.exercising innovation and creativity,people tied the paper to their thigh/calves,but when we were told the paper had to touch the ground,they went to tie it to the bottom of their foot -__- obviously that game is totally fail-we just sort of stoned around we the referee called start!!LOL
and all the other ccas that i have not blogged about, you are either too insignificant to represent the face of nyjc or you are so insignificant that i have forgotten about you.or maybe i was just sleepy.
totally conked out on the bed the moment i reached home cus i didnt have much sleep the previous night.woke up,ate and proceeded to call the people i had to babysit,oops,be ogl for xDnot that i am not looking forward to it lah.used like about 50 sms and 34 phone call,mosstly wich were not picked up(now i realize how annoying it is to chase after people for stuff)
from the schedule we seem to have quite abit of free time..well, i am not particularly excited(it pales in comparison to pre u sem n syc) but i hope it will be fun,especially for the future j1s that are joining us! now i am only afraid that we will chase them away haha.
randomly thinking (Sunday, January 4, 2009 / 4:37 AM)
This post consists of paragraphs and paragraphs of totally unrelated topics.so dont waste your time reading this ^^ hahahhah
hmm. i really should be doing my work right now.just cant find the motivation.when i think of the year ahead, i just feel that i am really not up to it.guess i just have to push myself. i am wishing for 2009 to be over already! when i think of the mug-a-thons ahead..i just wanna sleep LAH.GRRR RETURN ME MY BRAINS!!!
bio promo packs is nearly complete, but when i look at all the substandard work i had done.i just dont really feel shiok la.but then it is much better than being thrown out of class by gary neo.on this note, i highly recommend that next years batch avoid taking bio cos it is highly unlikely tt you will get this fantastic teacher xD
i still miss syc alot,really. i talk online to them sometimes but it is not the same as being physically tgt.theyre really nice people,sincere,friendly and warm.something that i havent seen in ages. it really touches me you know.i still treasure the memories tt we shared tgt.OH NO you wont catch me saying mushy stuff like this too often!i got a few smses from them on new year...from tock (u rich ass! u better come to singapore for the youth olympics!and i havent gotten your autograph yet so i can sell it when i get rich >D) and xiaowei(actually i smsed him first..nvm) n a very very late one i just got today from monaz.i really miss miss miss all of you!thanks lots!i promise i will visit when i can!*i am typing this in pink on purpose.heh.tml i need to go for the immersion thing.ohcrapireallydontwantodothis.some more it is organized by the studentcouncil.mass dance.oh no.i think i will call security...y our school so extra got this thing la!!!co has some performance thing going on too..have to perform "perhaps pehaps perhaps" (slut song)and canon.obviously being noob newbies i play a minimal role, but then i think i would enjoy being in CO abit more.been missing alot of practices cos im so busy with stuff.i STILL WANT MY LAST WEEK OF HOLIDAYS! ARGH.
and finally you will seldom see me emo-ing on my blog.i believe a blog is not an avenue to attack people(even anonymously,f, it is still obvious),cos it is not your blog to type whatever you like.this is exposed to the WORLD WIDE WEB, you blind,blind,self absorbed people and i can pretty much get you sued for that.im not a perfect person,but i try,we all try.
hope i can stick to my new year resolutions.haha~

HAPPY ?? YEAR
it is supposed to be a COW.. -_-
ack i havent finished alot of my homework! in the midst of my bio promo pack,realized that i have to restudy everything again.The thought of that makes me cringe, but ohwell, not really much of a choice.how i yearn for 2009 to be over and for the backpacking trip that awaits me...
went back to school for enzyme project today.seriously, i am quite sian of it already, but the prize of $8000 keeps me going i guess.(it was the MAIN MOTIVE that me n jon joined! haha..besides the sgc of course).It is like another wr(3000 word written report) cum project for me..i expect to be doing the bulk of the editing,but i am more or less grateful for the more or less contributive groupmates who keep things interesting.
for those who are interested ( i doubt youll be though, it is fairly dry), our project is based on this
http://garbageenzyme.com/ thing,which is sort of a fertilizer/multipurposeliquid/detergent.
I cant remember which teacher it was, but once we were doing it and he ( i think it was a he) told us that human waste was the best fertilizer because of its high nitrogen content and we should go collecting it from each of the science teachers.that was totally one of the WTF moments of that year.but i doubt you would want to use stuff made from human waste (i refuse to say shit because i am highly civilised) to wash dishes,wouldnt you?D:
