ok i must blog abt studying at swirl@crown ctr (ice cream parlour) with nat, aaron and quek last fri before cell. first, there was this irritating bunch of primary sch students (nyps i presume cos one of them wore the pe shirt) all of them had handphones (newer and nicer than mine btw, then again, almost every other phone is :( blasting music, asking each other if they had heard the song before...you know the way pri sch kids are (no, im not one of them) and they had the money to buy lotsa ice cream (not cheap okay, 1 scoop there is like $3) aft that they played taboo at the top of their voices, and i was quite irritated cos the kid behind me kept pushing her chair against mine grrrr. the only memory i had going out after pri sch was going to steph saw's house aft sch to play with her kid sister, or carmen's aft sch to play neopets/cycle, or joy's to borrow archie comics, or xinwei's to make up stories with stuffed toys. and the only memory i have going out to a public place during pri sch days was the empress to watch a $5 princess diaries show. kids nowadays. aft they left, then came in this huge bunch of nj j1s. even more irritating, they were playing pictionary, and speaking chinese at the top of their voices, and laughing at almost every single thing, cant blame them cos everyone has the right to make noise but stilllll. yeah ok thats it
oh and ive also been studying with amanda and nat aft church on sundays. not bad, we start ard 11 aft service and stay up til 7pm when it gets dark and we're the only ones in brmc on a sunday evening. i quite like it there actually, pretty serene. haha i love talking to amanda abt anything at all, its like, shes the only person i know who uses words like 'insidious' and 'ambivalent' (learnt it from ms chua) in her daily speech, even simple words like 'hug' become 'embrace'. she has the best blog because its the kind that i have to open dictionary.com as a separate window when im reading (not bad can expand my vocab) haha she's full of wit and sarcasm and cheemness that its interesting and funny. hahaha cant wait for our oprah marathon at her hse aft the As (>18 hrs of oprah winfrey!) the pressure of performing becomes higher everytime im in a conv of uk/uni aps (can u imagine how many essays they have to do and trouble they go thru to submit this and that online and by postage...im still in awe) or lost in a conv of abbreviations (LNAT/LSAT/SAT/CAT/BMAT; different uk/us tests) with rafflesians (the only abbreviation that is bugging me how are GCSE A's) lol quite amazing actually how they cope with so much while im still struggling with basic (relative to their standard) maths and chem. haha but really, they're quite an inspiration, lol motivation to study harder i guess
ok im quite lazy to put photos up (if i do it'll be from kris anw right) haha and still havent gotten photos from nat so will be after As when i do so. wow almost two yrs have passed and i think ms chua is right, we'll only feel it aft the As. im starting to feel it alr though (or so i think) cos going back for mocks's as good as going back for lessons everyday. anyhow, i'ld DEFINITELY miss 06S29 cos i think we're the most happening class! ok ild miss everyone bullying me (i think, HAHA) ok LOVE YOU ALL!
im too scared to countdown, so. study hard y'all
