Hee.. have discovered exciting new things about boarding skool life.. Funnily enough i always pictured taking showers in the boarding house as something like a hazard to my mental being. I imagined rushing to the showers only to find that the showers are all taken n me having to wait hours to get into a shower stand only to have the hot water run out on me. Surprisingly, not only was there absolutely no one in the showers when i was there, but there was also plenty of hot water to go around.. cool...~!!
Ahahah.. i must say it is utterly amusing. It would be considered an entirely different world to the one i lived in. Strange having to eat dinner at 5.30pm n then having study time from 7-9pm without going anywhere; just staying in ur room doing ur work for the entire 2 hours. It's highly amazing that I actually did do some work. In fact I did less work in the boarding house than i ever did at home.. cos i tend to usually do whatever I feel like doing regardless of time which means that at times i do end up doing way more than 2 hours worth of work. But not in the boarding house. As soon as I finished doing my Human Biology assignment, it was only 8.30 n so i grew bored.. staring at my teddy bear.. n then decided to take random pics of my room to finish my roll of film from the ball. Even took a couple of my oh-so-cute teddies whose pictures (along with the ones of my room n the ball) will be posted up in a while... Sorry if it takes some time..
Saw Jess's n Raena's pics from the ball as well. Some of them highly amusing especially the one with Jess stealing all our ball partners (all four of them) n taking a picture with them WITH HER IN THE MIDDLE. That, ladies n gentlemen, is a must-see for everyone. All joy n laughter. Every single one of our friends have requested for a reprint of that specific photo. I'm taking it off her when I get home so i can scan it or something.
Che> I have a pic of me n Mr Goh, if u want.. looks a bit odd but yeah, it's him
Well, ttfn.. I miss my room. Woke up at 6 sumthing again to the voice of someone talking on the phone outside my room. Gahh~!! So utterly frustrating..~!! Why make the walls so thin on one side n make the other pure brick? Why not make both brick walls? Then I could get some decent sleep. Almost fell asleep in Applicable Maths today, alongside Steph Seah n Jess.. kekkeek... Time to go.. wanna take shower before dinner time.
Besides, preparing myself to my study time when Jaity n Raena are gonna make their way to my room for "help". Hahz.. n i'm told not to go anywhere after prep too. Ppl wanna come visiting. like we did to valerie yesterday. All in there making noise until we were told that it was time to go to our own rooms..

oh good gawd... i honestly cannot see myself adjusting to boarding life.. but then again, i'm already here so i might as well deal with it. I reckon Sunday nights will be the worst though, for a couple of reasons. It will be the night when I just get back to the boarding house after having a weekend at home, sleeping at whatever time i want to, and going online whenever i want to, not to mention eating whenever n whatever i want to.. it will also be the night when everyone is expected to be in their own rooms by 9pm n supposedly lights-out by 9.30? i think.. at least there's an exception to yr 12's but still... i sort of semi-switched the lights off at 10.30pm n even still there i was lying in the darkness wondering what i should be doing for the next 1.5 hrs while i wait for sleep to bestow itself upon me.. thank goodness it didn't take that long though.. talked to gerald for a while, n as soon as he hung up, i fell asleep. which is great seeing that i almost NEVER sleep early. but the bad thing is that i woke up at 6.30am which is so NOT the point of coming to the boarding house. i was supposed to sleep in later than usual..~!! not wake up earlier than usual... *sigh* but anyway, gerald rang me at 6.50 to make sure i was awake, gawd knows why.. n valerie came in at 7.05.. i honestly wonder how i'm gonna get used to this.
My mum says she's oredi missing me.. hmmph.. funny how u only miss someone when they're already gone but whenever they're around for you, all u wanna do is piss them off all the time.. Tell me exactly, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT? But anywayz, i'm fine with it. everyone's already asking me if i'm starting to regret my decision.. In a way yes and no.. I suppose right now, I would gladly tell my mum that i'm coming home n i'm willing to put up with her picking me up late etc etc but at the same time i don't want to be defeated by the simple minor fact that i don't have a computer, n i can't do as i will all the time. no house phone to call out whenever i have no credit. study time for 2 hours every single night without any choice even if i have no homework.. so what's making me stay? i have no idea... well we'll still have to see how things go before i retract my decision...

And so I enter the world of boarding... Yeowch. *sigh* let's see how it goes. Funnily enough, even though it was my decision, I feel as if I'm leaving something behind. Freedom, maybe? My dog..? I just feel it and I can't put my finger on what's causing it.. Well, yeah i have to go.. Update later

Hhehehehhe... just got home from the ball.. exciting, sort of.. i think my expectations are too high. Besides, my mum kinda ruined the whole day for me by insisting on picking a fight with me so yeah, that was a highlight. Hmmph.. well, i did my own make-up which was alright for the first half of the night, right up till we started taking pictures cos then i started to tear from laughing, n i think my make-up kinda smudged.. hehheeh oooppss.. *sigh* i took a look at some of the pictures in jess's camera n i reckon i looked HORRIBLE. what a pity considering i was usually the centre of the pictures due to my bright red dress. Damn, I need to learn how to smile without scrunching my eyes up so that they slant downwards n make me look all demented.. kekekek.. i hope the professional photos turn out alright at least. But again, since the Year 11 Dinner Dance photos turned out very very good, so maybe all my Year 12 Ball photos will turn out disastrous. It only makes sense to have one relli good n one relli bad. You can't have it both ways all the time..
Pretty amusing, actually... Me, Jess n Gerald actually ended up at the wrong hotel at first. Rather embarassing since we were about a street away from the Sheraton, thanx to my parents. Gawd knows how my parents manage to make that hotel mistake. Jess likes to think that they did it on purpose. Hahz.. anyway, doesn't matter cos we ended up at the Sheraton on time so that was fine. Oh, did I mention that our skool sort of planned a little dance, basically similar to the one the students did in "She's All That". Actually come to think of it, it's exactly the same.. the song.. the moves but yeah, at least we tried to do something diff this year. we even have it on camera. the media students were filming it for our leaver's video.. way cool..~!!!
Alrighty then, i'm relli exhausted oredi... I can't imagine how the other girls have the strength to go to afters right now.. I'll put up some pictures.. but only if I can find any decent ones. I relli hope that the professional ones turn out nice, otherwise it'd be rather wasted cos everyone else looked so nice n pretty..~!!! well well, i'm off to bed. update more regarding my week tomorrow. I'm not working cos I have to pack. Beginning my boarding life as of Sunday night.

Well.. fixed up some stuff oredi... dun like the positioning of certain things.. especially since my tagboard is hidden n u have to scroll down to it.. that's bad.. i'm sure ppl will miss it. oh well, i'll fix that next time.
Got my ball dress oredi. Not exactly the one I wanted but my mum wouldn't let me get a dress otherwise.. so yeah.. just accept la.. pretty similar anyway.
Quick update.. as one would expect, i never got around to writing angie's letter. but today seemed fine.. we had chats n all that n she even gave me a call just now..~!! hah what a surprise.. at least things aren't awkward anymore. that's all that matters.
I'm off to bed.. Was actually asleep already but was woken up by Angie, followed by Gerald. Had major "discussion" - I'm using that term lightly - n then I couldn't go back to sleep after being on the phone for an hour.. so here i am trying to fix my little blog n now that i'm done, i shall go back to bed.
Before I forget, I'll most likely be joining my school's boarding house within the next week or so.. woah.. scary thought. at least they're pretty flexible with year 12's. i'll update more about it later. n i'll most likely be doing advanced indonesian as opposed to advanced malay. can't get anyone to tutor me in malay dammit. *sigh*
Anyways, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, everyone.. n thank u Gerald for the watch. It's really pretty even if you didn't intend for me to wear it. =P see u next friday
edit://My dog is dreaming.. He's whimpering n barking in his sleep. highly amusing. oh he's stopped.. only snoring like the world can't hear him now

Hurr... it's already 10 days precisely since i last updated. oopss... but i've just been sooo busy with everything..~!! Despite what Iris says, Year 12 is not fun and it certainly is not easy. Alright, fine. So maybe the cakes for every double period we have is pretty fun, but other than that my whole 2 weeks since I started school has all been about work n doing more work. Utterly exhausted n ready to drop out of school except I dun think my parents would approve of that. So I might just drop Calculus eventually cos I can't afford to put in the amount of time for it when I have all my other subjects as well. Besides, right now I'm in the process of enrolling myself in Tuart College for Advanced Indonesian or otherwise I'll be taking tutoring for Advanced Malay. That'll give me 7 TEE subjects including Calc so I think I can drop it if I'm relli finding it difficult.
Yesterday, I was kinda feeling guilty about the way things were going between me n Angie.. I was finding it so awkward cos we weren't relli speaking to each other very much n the tension was relli bad.. So I was thinking of having a little chat with her to sort it all out since this is our last year n i dun relli wanna spend my last year having such awkwardness when we're supposedly meant to be friends but then she pissed me off in Accounting n *whoosh* all my guilty feelings flew out the window. hahazz..
Anywayz, she dropped Accounting yesterday afternoon for a beginner's French course which I find kinda stupid cos she was second in the year for accounting last year, n i dun associate her with speaking French at all. Her reason she gave to the teacher for wanting to drop the subject was one of the lamest I've heard..
1. I'm scared of you
2. You're tall
3. You have a loud voice
Okay well, firstly, my teacher is not exactly tall. He's of average height. Perhaps tall for an Asian guy but yeah.. n he's nice. Everyone likes him.. she's the only one with issues. Don't you think they're pretty lame reasons?? *sigh* well he was pretty understanding but he did ask her why she wanted to drop a subject that she was doing so well in, for a subject that she's had absolutely no experience in. He also said that she was afraid of failure n that's not gonna get her anywhere in the future. We all agreed but she dropped anyway n now she's doing French *hics*
Went ball dress shopping after skool. Found something in case I don't wanna wear the green one. My ball is next Friday n I'm still looking for a dress.. heheh kinda late minute but nvm.. I'm not that stressed out over it. On the way home, Jess n I were sort of having a heart to heart conversation about all our friends n their faults so then we started discussing each other instead. We pointed out the things we didn't like about each other n surprisingly there weren't that many. Or maybe we just couldn't remember them all. I still remember her saying though, that one of my faults was that I couldn't stand to lose, which I guess is kinda true. =P *sigh* n i said that the one thing i didn't like about myself was the way i talk about others, n the way I talk to others if I dun like a certain something that they've done. Jess said she didn't mind it though, she says I'm just being honest. I call it backstabbing. kekekek
Conversation with Jess has made all guilty feeling regarding Angie come back. Apparently me n Gerald are sitting at the same table as her at the ball so i dun want it to be real awkward then. Might as well solve it now n get it over n done with. Shall write her a letter n give it to her tomorrow. Then she can have the whole weekend to mull over it. Okie dokes, have to get back to my growing pile of homework n assignments. *adds Angie's letter to list of things to do* ciaoz.. dead tired..

Crap it all... Fantastically outraged by recent incident. hmmph..~!! utterly insulted, may i add. I was in the car on the way home from Jess's house when i decided to bring up my classes for advanced malay again.. but woah did it blow up in my face. Mum was totally against the idea, claiming that it was such a waste of time to be learning Malay in Australia.. My stepdad was trying to stay out of it. Told them I really needed the marks that it could possibly offer me cos I have the basics so that I at least have a chance to getting some decent marks. If i dun take it then i'd totally be relying on English for my humanities subject which i can't afford to do since english ain't my forte. Anyways at one point i told my mum, "You're asking me to take Bachelor of Commerce/Science, which has a TER of 97.5.. There's no way in hell am I gonna achieve that the way I'm going now~!" n my stepdad said, "What? 97.5?
Jenn's response to all this: That's crap. 90s are kinda average already. Stupid jackass. So he doesn't think I'm good enough to make it in life. Today at orientation they were asking what our goals for the year was n they mentioned that our parents were gonna write letters to us, speaking to us as their precious daughter. *sigh* no comment on that. i dun think i wanna read it. i know what they think of me anyway. my sis didn't even open hers. i relli respect her for that. gawd, i think i'm gonna skip dinner n have a nap. maybe when i wake up i'll feel a lil bit better.. hmmph..~!!

Hmmph.. 1st of Feb liao.. not feeling good. missing home again. *sigh* trying not to let it get to me, holding it off for a couple of days.. besides, i'm seeing Jess n the rest tomorrow so maybe the company will help even if its only for a couple of hours. Better than being alone with my thoughts. Stop me from missing a certain someone *sigh* grrrr... bet that someone isn't missing me, stupid fella who always has so much fun.
Yesterday was a rather amusing day, I reckon. Arrived at work to discover that the door of the shop wouldn't open properly so we had to deal with a half-open door the whole day.. akakka.. i dun think my parents were pleased. *hics* n then the phone rang.
Lady: Erm.. i ordered a book last month.. n i was wondering whether it's come in..
Me: Okay, sure. What's the title of your book, please?
Lady: Erm.. Great Sex? I'm not sure.. can't remember
Me: Right..okay.. (starts searching on comp for anything called Great Sex)Oh... u mean The Great Sex Guide by Ann Hooper? Well it's already on order n should be in anytime soon..
Lady: Hmmm.. well I hope it comes in before the fourteenth...
Me: *hiccup* yeah I'm sure it will...
Eeekkkk... ahahha i get the hint. u didn't have to tell me all the details. yech.. guess who's gonna be having fun on the 14th...? *shivers*
And in the afternoon, Jim my stepdad comes barging into the back office asking about a book by Brad Branson called I Lost My Virginity
My response: ..... er.. i think it's "Losing My Virginity" by Richard Branson
Jim: (in background to customer)Yeah, yeah I know exactly what u mean. He's a great guy. Terrific book that one is!
I have no comment about that. He's never picked up that book is his whole entire life. Just likes talking about it as if he's read it. akakka.. steph, i know exactly how u feel. pity u have to work alongside him n i dun.. kekekkek
What's with ppl n their nicknames in msn?? I'll give u some examples..
"sweeling. thats me. and i love dogs. those female ones... i call them bitches! YEAH! i love sticking my dick in their furry vagina :)
sicko.. can't believe i have friends like that. gawd... well, here's another:
Daymn girl, ur a fine ass piece o meat
alrighty then.... i have weirdos for friends.. i can admit that now
Well, have decided on lovey-dovey theme for February. kekekek.. all thanx to v'day. sort of not looking forward to it. have also decided to settle down a lil n quit fooling around. hehehe.. new years resolution? i think not.. more like guilt over the years. *sigh* no more flirting...*sob* ahhaha i'm kidding.. not that way no more. =)
Okie dokes so i'm gonna start planning my layout. n maybe get ready for tomorrow as well. Year 12 orientation in the morning n then Gerald arrives in the afternoon. No way am i gonna see him anyway. His mum probably wouldn't allow it. so I'll see u whenever i see u, hey? kekekke... oh crap, have to see angie tomorrow.. at least i bought her something.. *hics*
