Strawberry fields forever

Nianci confessed that she's been googling my twitter lyrics, downloading those songs and liking them! I've found a stalker hohoho. But it makes me happy because I feel influential!

7:53 PM;

The past 2 days I've been practising chinese oral with Court after school. And my chinese suckssssssss.

Court: 你对抛弃婴儿的行为有什么看法 ?
Me: 抛弃婴儿的母亲没有公德心，因为这样做会打扰人们

Court: 你经常使用电子邮件吗?
Me: 我经常使用简讯

OMG ):

I just found out that the teachers of the other chinese classes told their girls that 90% of those who did bao zhang for the o's failed. What the hell please. I bet I was among many in my chinese class who did bao zhang. Yknow laoshi has at least 3 new strands of white hair? I observed yesterday. Damn poor thing!

One thing that never fails to amuse me in school: Ahmandah See, Breanna and Nianci unknowingly walking together in the same manner ie. lifting up and putting down the same feet at the same time. Because they always walk together and they all wear white shoes (of different brands) with blueish-green designs. I'm telling you, it's damn funny!

And now there's a New York New York next to Starbucks at Coronation. Woah so happening! I'm hoping Starbucks will be filled with ugly muggers so that I can go there to study and not get distracted.

Oh yknow today I went for my morning run for the first time in weeks, and got chased off after my 4th round because apparently morning runs are not allowed as part of the H1N1 precautions. Psssh.

I was looking through my school journal, and yknow how I know when I had shitty weeks? When the pages for those weeks are filled with song lyrics. This week alone, I think I clocked in some 70+ song lyrics on twitter.

6:45 PM;

You'd think that because it's the last day of the holidays, and because I've felt like shit for the past coupla days, things will go your way today to make you happier before you step back into hell.

I'm reading chinese oral topics on the computer. Of course I get distracted by everything else to do on the computer. This is damn bad man. I have zero self-control.

And after 3 days of listening to comfort music, I am slightly happier but I still feel like shit.

4:54 PM;

Today, I had my first full proper meal after more than a week. Today, I saw Hensen Beng in church and it made me happy even if only for an hour. Today, I realised that I haven't touched guitar hero at all these hols, which is impressive because I used to play it every week.

Tomorrow, it's back to school dammit. Hate school hate school hate school hate school.

Wait wait I posted that immediately because I was so shocked about Daphne's dad not having Beatles' stuff. Now I'll finish my post.

I need to get rid of my disgusting procrastinating issues, my habit to get distracted easily, my serious lack of time management. And I need motivation for studying. I need someone to motivate me or something. And it sucks that Court is moving in with her grandparents in Toa Payoh temporarily. Because I have no one to start studying with me somewhere along Bukit Timah.

I'm following Roddick on twitter. He's my hot guy no more but I still trust his music taste, apart from Rick Astley. I found out about The Fray in sec 1 way before radio stations started playing them because he recommended it okay! So yeah I trust his music taste and therefore I added him on twitter, now stop laughing at me. No, maybe you can laugh at me some more when I tell you that I got twitter because of Paolo Nutini. Because now he's just gross and I'm disappointed with him.

7:50 PM;

Fuck - a simple word to describe just about everything right now. I feel slightly better than last night, but more shit just came my way. Because Daphne just told me that 4/4 received news that their oral's on thursday. So I'm thinking that mine's on tuesday. And I'm so effing screwed because I've only read 15 topics so far - 5 news issues and 10 sec 1 topics which are so freaking pointless. I'm procrastinating like crazy again, what's new? But it's not just procrastinating this time, I'm getting distractions. Everytime I sit down to read, I think of this one thing. And I really need to get stuff out of my head but don't know how. I want to just stop thinking for a day and be able to concentrate on important things ):

So today I gave up studying, curled up on my mum's bed and listened to my comfort music. It made me feel a lot better after last night, but now I found out about chinese oral and uh, shitttttt.

Wokay Daphne just told me her dad doesn't have Beatles' albums :O

I need to find a comfort song to cheer me up whenever I feel like shit. Just one song that will immediately make me all happy.

10:34 PM;

Hello folks. I'll be skipping school on the 30th of july because my dentist requested for a morning dental appointment from me. I think he said something about finally removing the stuff from my lower teeth, but I can't be too sure cos I didn't pay attention while he was talking to me. I was in a super dreamy mood because I had to wait 1 hr 15 minutes to see him today, and I was equipped with nothing but my phone and my imagination. My imagination took full control over me during the whole period. I love dreaming and playing songs in my head, don't you?

Now I have super gross yellow braces, it's the worst colour ever. Luckily I only have to deal with this colour for a month. Hopefully no hot guys come my way and I won't feel embarassed about anything. Oh yeah, speaking of embarassment though. My stomach growled really loudly for a long time while I was in the dentist's chair. No one said anything afterwards, embarassing much. I can only hope that the dentist and the nurse didn't think it was a fart.

I can't believe the hols are fucking ending. Because I've done nothing of use this month, I just wasted my whole time away. I feel useless. Semester 2 will be total shit. I'm so freaking unprepared for prelims/o's. Someone shoot me now.

I'm so out of touch with tennis that 10 minutes ago, I found out that Del Potro's the 5th seed for Wimbledon. But nothing seems to have changed from how I remember it to be because Hewitt's leading the match and the crowd's cheering Hewitt on. And I'm still a loser who supports Roddick after all this time even though he's my hot guy no more.

9:39 PM;

Ryan Star and David Cook are touring together. I think it's damn cute cos I used to like them both.

I can't stop taking breaks from chinese oral. Yeah I've finally finished my homework and moved on to chinese oral. But uh, finishing my homework meant leaving 3/4 of amaths papers blank, half of chem and phys papers blank, and 1/5 of emaths papers blank. I am damn jealous of Mao because she has so much time that she plays stupid computer games. But no, I won't play stupid computer games too - I'm still 3 episodes away from the finale of GG and I missed the last 90210 that starworld showed. Anyway, my point on chinese oral: I can't concentrate on reading chinese and trying to study chinese again when the o's are over, sucks.

Who do you think of when I say "footballer with long hair"? I think of David Seaman and I miss my old Arsenal. Who do you think of when I say "hottest footballer"? Contrary to popular belief, I don't think of Torres, I think of Jamie Redknapp who is now retired ): I brought up football because I used to love it. Now I hardly watch football no more because of the lack of time. Maybe I hardly watch football too because no one else watches football and because most of my favourite players are gone. By gone, I mean retired or out of epl (it's damn hard to watch to serie a/la liga/ucl matches nowadays ):). But my point is that I wish I could go back in time. Not just to watch good old Arsenal or my favourite players again, but because everything was much simpler back then. No need for studying, nothing to worry about, so much time you could sleep/watch tv/check out music all day long.

I sound stupid for saying that I don't wanna grow up, but I hate growing up and the responsibilities/commitments that come with it.

My appetite still sucks, the only thing I really eat is yoghurt. My sleep is getting slightly better, but I wake up damn early every morning because of some crazy-ass drilling from upstairs. PSSSSH.

If my lack of sleep and appetite continues when school reopens, I'll die because school's getting more hectic. And my time management issues have gotten worse with the june hols. Suckssss. If I die a premature death from stress, I want sunflowers at my funeral please thanks.

I have a disgusting bruise the size of my computer mouse on my knee. I have a fetish for cute small boys and cute old men. And I need a haircut.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH Courtney Kheng likes my music! Shit I should've converted her earlier cos I've missed 2890785976907 concerts already.

I found Nylon at Holland V hoho. It's a music issue and guess who's featured omg: PASSION PIT!!!

Holland v and kap with Court today for Chinese oral practice. Major failure cos we only did like, 8 oral passages and didn't start on convos. Half the time I was trying to introduce her to good music. Chinese sucks ):

Last confi for the '93 batch at St Joseph's yesterday! Or the last one I'd be attending anyway. Left for St Joseph's from St Mary's with Gwen, Ahmandah See and Yining. (Sunflowers from near St Mary's are damn cheap!) Gwen and I were missing St Mary's badly ): I was damn bored at St Joseph's because there was no aircon and I didn't know most stuff and I couldn't people-watch. According to Court, Archi repeated the homily from my confi. I realised that I'm a horrible person who never listens to confi homilies, or most homilies for that matter.

I haven't been sleeping much since the last time I blogged and my appetite's in a mess too. I don't know what's wrong with me ):

Oh yeah Twitter's slowly turning into another blogging thing for me cos I kinda broke my song-quoting thing.

There's a brand new Academy of Rock at Holland V! I'm damn happy because it's kinda nearby plus I've been thinking of going to Academy of Rock instead of Yamaha when I take up drums again in jc. Academy of Rock I can't wait! I'm gonna learn every Beatles' song there is to learn hoho.

I got Passion Pit's Manners!!! Daphne Tay, stop commenting on my music because we've already established the fact that you hate my kinda music! (Eh why are you interested in Keane man?)

And Borders sucks because they didn't have Nylon.

10:59 PM;

Here I am blogging at this unearthly hour because I have this huge-ass headache which leaves me nothing to do except to go on the computer. I slept less than 10 winks last night, I shit you not. My hyperactive brain was on full mode til' something like 3+ last night. And then I managed to fall asleep here and there until almost 6. Afterwhich, my hyperactive brain switched back on to full mode again. I blame it on teenage hormones, hot weather and hunger pains. Believe it or not, I was actually starving throughout much of the night. And believe it or not, my thoughts even jumped to Hensen Beng at one point in time. That's my VEH cute first ever drumming teacher whom I occasionally see at St Mary's (: But I don't think I've seen him since january, sad. HE'S MY (SINGAPORE) IDOL.

So anyway, I gave up trying to sleep slightly after 7, went to grab a bite and tried to go back to sleep again. But who I was kidding man, my brain refused to shut down. Also I realised that if I did miraculously manage to fall asleep after a while, I'd be late for my threading appointment later on at noon. So now I'm blogging and listening to Passion Pit (my new passion!) because I can't do anything productive like homework (which I'm severely lagging behind in), what with my ginormous headache. This is bad I tell you. I've had this sorta nights a few times this year, including the night before my emaths and chem papers - not a good sign.

I found out that my Mystery Jets album had a hidden track. AWESOME. But I hafta wait a long time for it. Mmm music blogs make good friends.

Lastly, Keane is coming down (: But shit i bet you anything better acts will come down during the O's period.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that my last confi sunflower is gone too ):

I miss my tv shows. Nowadays, the only show I keep up with is 90210. Gone with Gossip Girl, House, Heroes. Even Grey's cos they don't show it on tv anymore. It's sad, I don't know why I stopped watching them. I used to be addicted to the tv and had at least one show to watch every night. And much more to watch online. Now my addiction is facebook and twitter, all of which are useless crap if you think about it. I miss my favourite tv characters. But most of all, I miss the music. I used to check out music from every episode of OC and One Tree Hill. And in later years (I make myself sound old), Gossip Girl and 90210. I love tv music, I swear they're the awesomest music sources ever.

I'm really damn sad they got rid of OC. Seth Cohen + good music ): And I wish I had time to dig up all the past/current episodes of my tv shows. Life sucks, why can't we choose how we live our lives freely? Instead, we're always bound by certain people/institutions. In my case, a shithole known as school. And that's why during the school holidays, we're given stacks of homework to do and on top of that, expected to start revising for the O's. I want/need time.

OMG DAVID VILLA MOVED TO REAL MADRID TOO ):

My daddy bought chinese newspapers for what I think was the first time in his life, and told me it was for me. Smart thing is, my chinese O's are over.

Who knew chocolate potato chips existed?

“You give me butterflies. Not the bad butterflies, but the ones I love to hate because they’re from you. When you smile, I smile. My god, just the thought of you makes me smile… Oh, it’s one in the morning and I can’t stop thinking of you. I still don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. But as of right now, it doesn’t even matter to me because thinking about you has brought nothing but smiles across my face. I think you are completely and utterly amazing… I wish I could tell you all this, I really do. But I’m too shy for my own good.”

My 400th post (: OMG THIS BLOG HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST FIVE YEARS!

Last week, I was at Court's house and we were doing stupid things on her computer, one of which included signing up for Twitter. Twitter's really stupid and pointless especially since no one has Twitter, but I like it. Yknow how I put down random lyrics in my school journal, on Facebook and as my msn display names? I hate it when people ask me about them, especially if they're random things like Mushaboom or if they're near-emo stuff. So now I have Twitter to put them on! Plus I can rant about life or bitches or whatever. Hopefully Twitter doesn't spread around too much. But for now, I only have Courtney Kheng which is also a tad sad.

Anyway, I think Paolo Nutini sounds damn gross on his new album ):

Kaka and Ronaldo for Real Madrid, no shit. Federer won French Open, no shit. Pretty soon, Real Madrid will dominate the football world again with their number of world-class players (remember the time with Zidane, Raul, Figo, Roberto Carlos?) and Federer will dominate the tennis rankings again.

So my parents dragged me and my oldest sis out to town today for lunch and dinner. It was a waste of time because I didn't get anything apart from food which only makes me put on weight. But then anyway right, we were at Billy Bombers and our table had this awesome jukebox on it! And I was happily flipping past the song pages. Then my sis told me that of course it worked. So I put a one-dollar coin in and happily chose Mrs Robinson and then we found out that the stupid thing was just a display thing and didn't work!!! Omg I was so sad ):

And then we were walking along somewhere and this group of mahts were just sitting on the ground and singing Help! while playing guitars and tambourines. And they were damn good, I was so impressed! Mmmmm I'm a sucker for people who can play the guitar and sing/make happy music.

Nuhhhh yesterday was the first day of the holidays that I didn't have to step in to school and I spent the entire day on music! So far, I've spent today entirely on music too. Tsk, so much for planning to get my act together this school hols and study whatever I've failed to study for the mid-years. The worst thing is that I've also forgotten most of what I actually did manage to study for the mid-years. PSSSSSSSSSSH.

Omg singfest got postponed! I am damn sad because what if they pushed it to the O-level period?! ): I'm totally expecting a kick-ass line-up of either indie or alternative acts this year because '07 already saw punk/power pop acts and '08 had mostly songwriter stuff. I hope they push it to the end of the year and brighten up my festive period (:

Please don't laugh at me after you read this, but at the beginning of the year, the school asked us to list 5 careers we were interested in so that they could plan for the career seminar. So I listed down events planner as one of them because I thought it'll be pretty cool if I could bring good acts down to S'pore and watch them live. But then, I didn't really take my 5 choices down seriously. Until we did some DISC personality profiling thing in school and I got events planner under my list of suggested careers, then I was like woah maybe I should name this as my ambition whenever people ask me instead of telling them that i don't know. But omg now ): I'm trying to arrange for this surprise-visit on someone and it's super hard because only 5 people replied me but then we can't even find a day and time where all 5 can make it. This sucks because I think we won't be able to surprise that someone and make her happy plus my little ambition will crash and burn.

And the confi gifts keep on coming. I got more sunflowers from Su Lin and Beatrice today. And a fake flower from Joyee (: Su Lin and Beatrice, being thoughtful, broke off more than half of the sunflower stalks cos apparently they were huge. My friends do funny things (: Anyway this brings the total number of sunflowers to 8! I wish I could build a sunflower field. Imagine the joy it'd bring! Sunflowers are the coolest, most awesomest thing ever :D (I haven't used this face for damn long)

Omg I'm reading my old posts and doing this at the same time and I found this:
Quiz question no. 54. what song do you want played at your funeral? a song dedicated to sunflowers. [daphne tay, i don't care, i still want sunflowers for my funeral, you better buy me sunflowers for my funeral, then i'll haunt someone to get purple orchids for yours]

SUNFLOWERS ARE THE LOVE, Y'ALL.

I'm being stupid and I need to get you out of my head.

Extra lessons are like ): They're like normal school hours, which is the worst thing ever. I don't know why they bother when no one's in the school mood and no one really listens. Bah humbug.

Anyway, Mao told me that I'm the best-looking girl confirmant in St Mary's! And i quote her blog, "Arielene looked really pretty!! I liked her hair." Whoooo whoooo thanks Mao! My ego is on the verge of bursting!
