Curry noodles here I come!

I need food. 

With 3 and a half hours of sleep last night, i need energy to sustain me through training later. 

I am going to sleep early tonight. At least, I shall try. But I need to, cause there is 2.4 tomorrow. :( 

I have gotten used to hearing my voice on the computer

After so many projects which require the use of multimedia. Shout out to the person who posted on our batch group about the easiest way to do math PT. :D

Not feeling sleepy at all. Cause I slept 11 hours last night. But I know that if I don't go to sleep soon I will regret it tomorrow morning. But I have to share these 2 stories:

1. Last thursday, I fell asleep on the bus on the way home. Missed my stop by a lot. Had to take back for quite long. Moral of the story: Don't get into too comfortable a position on the bus. Even if you want to sleep, don't sleep with your head resting against something. Sleep with your head hanging, then you will jerk awake when your head lolls. Haha, been there, done that.

2. Then on Friday, I missed my school bus. Haiz. Only by that fraction of time. I brisk-walked out of the lobby and saw it driving away :(  Cause not only did I wake up late that day, I refused to leave without finding my earphones :p

So, 2 stories that prove my sleep-deprivation is taking a bad turn, but here I am not learning my lessons...

Today's 逗号！

:D  Today started out with a crappy morning. Then my Chinese newspaper arrived at my table. Out of habit,  I will flip to the page where they feature an idol every week.  AHHH. The day seemed so much brighter and I was really really happy every single minute. Well no, not every single minute; Chem was so boring that even the thought of him couldn't cheer me up.

Tmr's NAPFA. Year by year, the number stations I need to worry for are increasing. This year includes shuttle run, IPUs, 2.4. Will be content with a Gold. Not aiming for all As, unlike ahem some platoonmate ahem.

Actually my GPA wouldnt be that bad if not for Chinese. Just go to show how important Chinese is huh. Maybe should actually put in effort for chinese next term. Cause those subjects that I didnt do well in will just not be included in my GPA. Haha :p

It feels quite weird to not be spazzing over Math PT while watching all my batchmates do that on FB.

Shall finish three-quarter of my Physics PT by tmr CES. That includes like 1 and half page of pictures and graphs and 1 and a half page of writing.






                                                                          Awww....

With increased readership, I should increase the frequency of posts

No idea how my parents are surviving out there. The stuffiness is overbearing. Went to my dad's room to use the main com (cause thats the only computer out of 4 with microsoft), was there for about half an hour before I felt like I was gonna sweat through my shirt and suffocate or something. Then I went to my mom's room to get her to sign some form, was there for only a minute, couldnt take it already. She closed her door, shut the windows and let down the curtains. wtp?

And now extension of deadline for physics PT is not approved. Urgh. They don't want to approve, then just don't approve lah. What for get my hopes up on Sunday, then today then tell me not approved. Hmph, if if were not approved in the first place, I might have started on Sunday and be like almost done by now. But nope, that is not happening. Recorded my video just now; me doing a split jump. Then I paced around for half an hour thinking about accuracy of measurements. Even changed into my pointe shoes, wanting to change the whole experiment. Then I realised I can just measure the length of my split and the tracker will help me calibrate everything else :) Don't understand why everyone is complaining about tracker.

Sign up for The Amazing Race IHG! :D Sounds fun right? Haha. Gogogo sign up. Speking of the amazing race (as in, the real tv series), recently started rewatching season14. The seasons before that the quality all too crappy, so I shall just content myself with the recent 7 seasons. I say rewatching because I have already watched everything last year. I like to rewatch and reread stuff :D June hols I plan to reread harry potter, shopaholic, jodi picoult and lauren weisberger, and rewatch hi my sweetheart, no.8 pawnshop, ugly betty, HIMYM. Hmmm that sounds like a lot. Maybe I should say thats the plan for June+Dec hols.

Keep optimistic and carry on

Failed attempt to straighten out thoughts

O.o Why the stats getting scarier and scarier. Yay steph I think I found your blog. Well, it should be your blog. Haha.

Today got back a load of papers. Rather happy with one, okay with some, very sad for one. The happy one balanced out the sad one, so I am not feeling that down.

One Part A greeted me on her own today. Awww :)                  

Survived on 3hours of sleep today. New record. Awake at 3am on school night (or should I say morning).

Chem SPA tmr. Anybody else finds it really weird that we have to call the teacher over to observe us titrate drop by drop until we reach the end point?

Extension of deadline for 2 projects. Good or bad? Both I guess.

Just 2 more weeks :)

The last lap

ATC starts on Friday. And starting from Friday 1500 I shall start counting down 45 hours.
Its just like this thing that I want to get over and done with. Yet, at the same time, there is some sort of excitement going on. Actually, I wouldn't even mind it at all if not for the fact that I am missing family chalet and ballet lessons. Happy stuff kept on happening today, so I don't really feel sad or worried. Haha I keep on going back and forth on whether I am happy or sad for ATC.

Lets all be optimistic people! If you are sad, I give you some solutions kay :)
1. Go look at platoon chat on FB
2. Eat a chocolate bar
3. Watch TBBT/HIMYM
4. Or you can just skip all that and look below :D

Saturday morning and I am awake at 6

Surprisingly full of energy, considering that I slept 5 hours last night. Yep, I woke up at 6 today, even though I had nothing on. Don't know whats wrong with me. Laid in bed for a while, watching funny Craig Ferguson interviews. I knew I should catch up on my lack of sleep, but was so pumped I couldnt go back to sleep. Went down for a run in hope to tire my body, but after the usual 2.4km, still felt like I could go on. Came back, bathed, went to the market with my mum, bought so much that I had to call my dad to come and help carry the stuff home, had breakfast, decided to start on Amazing Race 20 cause most of the eps are out alr, finished watching half of the series, stalked people on fb and youtube, stalked celebrities, and now I should probably start on english oral.

I'm here again

Not feeling sleepy at all - can't stop thinking about xiaogui <3 <3 <3 AHHHH

Okay he may have taken half of the space in my heart that used to belong only to xiaozhu. 

爱你们 :D

The TV screen doesn't do people justice

He's so adorable :D So so so so so adorable. Awwww. MUACKS. <3 

I stood there for 1 and a half hours, just staring at his face and those irresistible dimples :) 

I dont really do these type of posts anymore

Physics paper ended at 9am. And I had 6 hours till CCA started.

Spent the first hour hanging out in class. Watching Shiu Jern film her secretive music thinggum (hurhur)
2nd hour in the library. Wanted to do work, but it the really crowded, with no avail tables, and I had a hard time getting a beanbag in a nice and secluded corner (so secluded that Min Yi couldnt find me :P). Watched 1 Show Luo concert documentary (downloaded 5 yesterday :) heh) and started on some work on my mac.
3rd hour drilling holes in boards and putting them up and getting heatstroke.
4th hour eating lunch. With Zek, TMY, Zhang Xun. Monday= Curry noodles day
5th hour back in class with Zek, Bern, Jen. Watched a couple more videos.
6th with Zek. Talked abt random stuff. Listened to radio. Did a bit of Chinese. Then went down for CCA.



Glad that it wasnt company training. Finally starting to appreciate my NCOs after last week :)

Crap talk session just now:
SSG Geyu: I like the second topic. Its called sexual reproduction.
SSG Shan Shan: You will find out a lot more about your body
SSG Geyu: Yeah, and of the other 'species'. You have to get used to seeing the anatomies on your test paper.
SSG Shan Shan: If you are not sick, you will turn sick
Steph: SSG, permission to ask why you like the topic so much.

1リットルの涙

Show Luo mentioned this drama series which is based on a true story and I went to search it up.

1 litre of tears.

Started watching it, and a lot of feelings and emotions are coming in. I really think everyone should go watch it (the english-subbed version can be found on Youtube). Its only 11 episodes long, but the messages conveyed are so meaningful yet saddening at the same time.

This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone. Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walking in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

Yeah, how?

How is it that I set up my SS blog last night and it already has close to a 100 views. 20 of which are from countries like us and germany.

When connections to the outside world are lost...

At 10.18pm last night:
Oho great. Now I have no internet. Not even google. How great is this.

And I was in the middle of chatting to my ex-classmate about *ahem* keys in locks *ahem*. I was about to clear my name in a very inappropriate and very disturbing accusation made by him. How much greater can this get.


But I managed to open a link on our class group. Newspaper article: Ms Lim spent 20thousand dollars on her cat Fifi. And she was 28 in 2006.




I cant stand Bio. And no, I am not saying this just because its exam is on thursday. I just cannot stand Bio. I wonder if it has to do with the teacher. Or teachers. Or maybe I should just go and take tuition.

Like, last year, I took 4 Chem tuition lessons, and everything became so clear.

Or maybe I can pretend I am taking Bio tuition, and devote like 2 hours every weekend to sitting in front of a small little table reading textbooks and doing assessments.

Hohohoho then maybe I can pretend I take tuition for every subject (mind you, that is a total of 11 examinable subjects). And there is piano lesson everyday. And ballet lesson everyday. And CCA everyday.

Okay okay. This is getting too farfetched. Cant even stand CCA once/twice a week, and I am talking about EVERYDAY?

But seriously though, I really am going to take pretend tuition for at least the sciences. One and a half hours each. Every saturday. After this term's papers.




Hmph why does my dad still get to game.

Its not my fault kay. He is just too cool.

Life in the 4-days long weekend:

Show Luo.
Bio.
Show Luo.
Piano.
Show Luo.
Homework.
Show Luo.
Ballet.



But guess what. Youtube, Tudou, Youku, Xinmsn got blocked by my dad. And this time round there really are no loopholes. Well, except for two.
1. I have this youtube downloader, so I managed to persuade him to open youtube for an hour, and I downloaded a ton of videos :)
2. I will use his phone's 3G to go on youtube :p


But still, in the past, he either only blocked youtube (and I still have all the other websites to go on) or didnt set password to change the settings.



Don't know how long it will take me to persuade him to open everything back up. This ban can last from until after Thursday's papers till godknowswhen.

I have 3 papers in one week's time. Why are you doing this to me?

I am going through a weird phase in life.

New HOT CUTE HANDSOME FUNNY AMAZING GUY.

WOAH. Just woah.

To understand what I am feeling right now, all you have to do is login into thpowerof10@gmail.com.

Here is my takeaway: Tough we may be growing apart from our seniors, we are growing closer as a batch.

And trust me, both parts of that sentence are important and mean something.

Happy Last Hour of Being Fourteen

So, I will officially be fifteen in less than an hour's time. When people ask for my age, my answer will have to be 15. Gosh.

Fifteen. Fifteen. Fifteen.

Haha, just drilling that into my head.




15 is like 14. They are both connecting ages. Like bridges connecting the park and the road. Like links connecting a elaboration in a History essay to the main point. Like fallopian tubes connecting the ovaries and the uterus. Between celebrating becoming a teenager and having your sweet sixteen, you have to be 14 and 15.

Turning 15 is almost reaching the middle of your road as a teenager. Almost. You have to be 15 and a half to actually be right smack in the middle.




I shall now proceed to wallow in the last hour of being fourteen.

Throw on some clothes and grab a pair of sneakers

Just went out for a run.

It was one of those runs that your brain is occupied with thoughts and you just run and run until you are too tired too think anymore.

It was one of those runs that you can keep telling yourself to push just a little bit more, and you dont even relise how far you have run until you stop.

It was one of those runs that you dont stop until you have reached at least 2.4km, so that you know you at least have the stamina for NAPFA.

I havent been able to run like this for a few months. And I miss it.

Sometimes I think it is worth it to be under all these stress, just so that I can run like I did today, feeling the freedom and sense of achievement, no matter how momentary it is.

Maybe next time

I have tried starting this post so many times. I have written so many different intros, only to delete them one after another. I think today is not the day. Maybe next time.
