the last goodbye

2008-11-19T03:19:00.000-08:00

I feel bad about this having like a no-good sendoff about tagging jlee (which I'm not sure I did). so here goes! [I am NOT going to say toodles, a la xxfleurxx.] YES I KNOW THE MUSHY TITLE IS SO AWESOME :D

anyway, goodbye, sentimentalist, I'll miss you ):

okay,

2008-11-18T03:51:00.000-08:00

tagged a lot of people. too lazy to do them anymore D: basically if I didnt tag you GO RELINK LAH.

and jlee I'm going to tag your blog just for the fun of it even tho I know u alr know :D WAHA.

RELINK ME!

2008-11-18T03:30:00.000-08:00

Go x-sweetintoxicated.bs.com, thank you! and relink!

I'll probably tag on your blog. Yah.

and all that jazz

2008-11-18T03:11:00.000-08:00

oh dear, all that jazz is a crazy song.

guy: "is her husband at home?"
girl: "no, her husband is not at home, HARHAR!"

IDK if it's just the version I have, LOL. but it's got a very catchy tune. ruthie henshall is perfect for this. I heard her version before- but she's awfully skinny in the mv for it!

wanted to create a new navi skin but I'm too lazy to correct all the parts that went wrong (a LOT) so I'll create a simple one and use it here :D cos I feel like-

girl: "nobody walks out on ME!"
guy: "sweetheart..."
girl: "don't sweetheart me, you son of a *****!" (oh dear I didn't know this was in the song)
girl: "*mumble* oh dear, I gotta PEE!"

I told you it was crazy. but just the dialogue parts. -.O

anyway. I feel like changing this skin. IDK, I get sick of skins LOL.

bs comp. upcoming

2008-11-17T03:14:00.001-08:00

currently discussing a bs comp with zhongxuan or splatted`. considering: rainbow? sunset? movie/music icons? love?

ashley/vanessa comparisons?

2008-11-17T02:29:00.001-08:00

no, thank you!
as you can see from the happy pic on the left, it's ASHLEY TISDALE and VANESSA HUDGENS!
to be honest, I'm quite sick of seeing 'Ashley/Vanessa: Who's Better?' or 'Zashley' videos on YouTube.
firstly:
they're both actresses and singers who have their own strengths. in my opinion, ashley's a better role model in both aspects, but vanessa's got her strengths too. so we shouldn't be comparing them! it's like comparing Jay-Z with Akon or something. they're both musicians, but they've got their own way of life. no use comparing.
secondly:
ashley's got her own BF. and zac and vanessa chose each other. so we shouldn't intefere with their relationships. it's like if someone comes up to you and says, you shouldn't be dating xx, you should be dating yy. (come to think of it, this zashley thing kind of proves how great an actress ashley is, to come to the point where people believe both of them really ARE a pairing.)

-this has been a crude attempt at posting something that isn't about myself. I think I failed LOL. and as a result posted something that isn't really.. well... good. LOL. I just wasted my time! shucks x_x 1 hour to tuition! AAAAH!-

my day

2008-11-17T02:09:00.001-08:00

not much to talk about.
for art, I started on working with oil pastels, which, if you didn't know, are EXTREMELY hard to wash off. thank goodness they came off in the bath, or I'd have gone around for the rest of my life with orange and blue stains on my right hand.

(sidetalk: 1 hour 20 mins to tuition. GAH.)

for humanities, finished TLP (again). am with christine, alex (*mutter*) and loic for this lit. circle activity thing we're doing. it sounds exciting, but not with group members *koffkoff* who keep asking me what to do. it's your role! not mine! read the directions and just follow them! simple as A-B-C. ;_; sigh. I'm the director thingy, same as pichaporn, but she has better questions (I think). LOL. the only questions I could think of was like what does ___ represent and why. stuff like that.

PE: indoor lacrosse! AWESOMENESS AT ITS BEST :D cos it was not so hot. and we got to sit out sometimes cos we had too many players. yay yay yay. srei sat out twice. out of three games. but she claimed she was sick, IDK.

(sidetalk: YOUUUUU GOT A FRIEND IN ME :D disney songs! sorry :X)

spanish: I NEED ALL MY PICS! BLEHBLOOHBLAH. thanks much to jlee and mich for sending me pics (: (LEEN'S ALWAYS OFFLINE WHEN I WANT THE PICS AAAAH.) I need unblur pics of jeremy and jian chong (who was online just now but signed off- DAMN). I have batch pic but IDK if I can use that. if not I'll just ask jorden to send me his pic if he signs on. or... eh... I shall.... think of some other guy I suppose. or loic! or yongmin. whatever.

blahblahbeedumblahblahdeedumdum.

(bad imitation of rihanna.)

I feel like creating a new blog! but a part of me still clings on to SENTIMENTALIST :D

lalala. oh. coming up: rant about vanessa/ashley comparisons. they irritate me. fuzzfuzz.

btw:
TAG, WILL YA!

carried away

2008-11-16T03:32:00.001-08:00

oh dear, was going to do this image for this hoohaa competition on bs.com but got carried away blog-hopping.

have decided to go read fanfic instead!
OH YAH:

IF YOU HAVE ANY UNBLUR PICS OF JEREMY, MARCUS CHIA, JIANCHONG OR JONATHAN LEE, PREFERABLY IN SCHOOL UNIFORM (SHPS/SEC SCH) PLEASE SEND IT TO ME VIA MSN/EMAIL.

2008-11-15T04:32:00.000-08:00

SkinnyFashion competition skin COMPLETED!

2008-11-09T02:13:00.000-08:00

At long last!
The line art I did admittably isn't the best. The original img has better line art cos of the colour. But oh well! this is AWESOME!

click here to view it! rate and comment please! it's called glamourettes. (yes, I went with using the blackandwhite pic. ;D)

wish me good luck in the competition :X

oh yah:

danielle, you evil person, if you see this, please contact your brother, because he MSN-ed me asking whether I knew who else was at natalie's house baking cookies or smth. he told me you were uncontactable. :X (your poor brother!)

skinny fashion comp. pics

2008-11-09T01:00:00.001-08:00

I want to use the glamourettes one cos it's simpler... what do you think? impression or glamourettes?

this crush ain't going away

2008-11-09T00:52:00.000-08:00

david archuuuuuletaaaaaa! :D

personally, I think david cook deserves the title of american idol more than david archuleta does (if he'd won, that is), because his voice has more power and a better range. but david archuleta just appeals to the young crowd I suppose. and his voice is quite good for a general range of songs (: oh man, I love his song crush.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9wGyZFI3E4
Savannah singing Crush! a leetle fast, but good! cos it's a hard song to sing! ;DD

anyway. I need to code my skin for the skinny fashion competition! on bs.com! got two images cos first one was a leetle too unsimple. (cos the theme is simplicity + fashion.)

pictures in next post!

weekendness!

2008-11-07T03:19:00.000-08:00

Bambadeedoodah, it's the WEEKEND! (:

Tomorrow, I'm endeavouring to wake up early so that we can all go to the floating market, where my dad wants to go very very much but we didn't cos I always ~~overslept~~ (shh)! So I must wake up early tomorrow. Very. Must ask dad what time is early exactly. (Me: "Would 10 suffice?" XD)

Today! was Alternate Dress Day and the dress code was Come in the dress code you want or something. I wanted to wear this colourful stripey babydoll dress I have, but it's a bit too low-cut so I had to wear a shirt underneath. And just my luck today was sooo hot so in the morning I changed plans and wore the original shirt with jeans. And just changed one hair accessory. (Haha yes, I'm RIGHT DOWN TO THE DETAILS :D) No important details for school. Just that for art we're moving on to abstract self-portrait, and my my do I look horrible in that pic Ms Best took of me ):

Tomorrow too! going to Shangri-La for dinner! they're having this murder play thing! where actors act out a murder mystery you have to guess as you eat a brilliant four-course meal! (I think I'd die by the second course. No pun intended.) wanted to go Chatuchak too (turquoise tank tops! nuuu!) but my mother reminded me, with iron in her voice, that I have tuition tomorrow. pfffteesh.

today! my order's screwed. anyway! my mum's cousin and her friend, and my DAD's friend, are coming to dinner! we're having roast chicken with yummy mango sauce. and I need to bathe before they come. needless to say I haven't. so I GTG. this was supposed to be a short post.

OHLALALABEFOREIGO!
I found a lineart tutorial, it's freaky awesome :D always wanted to do lineart! just go to today's SOTD by sofmy and click on the link there. she's awesome. (: (I hope I got her username right.)

buhbyye!

set a goal

2008-11-06T03:39:00.000-08:00

I have a new goal.
I have to be a published author by age sixteen.
If not, all this lifelong wishin' and hopin' has gone to nothing!
Something has got start somewhere.

I'm going to make a man outta you!

2008-11-06T03:31:00.000-08:00

haha MULAN! I'm listening to my disney cd :D yay yay yay beauty and the beast!
anyway!

was going to finish up a hayden panettiere wake-up call bs (it amazes me how paris-hilton like hilary duff and hayden panettiere have gotten! they used to be my all time role models for being so unlike paris hilton and sleazy!) but decided that life wasn't all about bs-es, and what the heck they took ages to make anyway. so slacked, checking my mail and sent an uberlong one to chingying :D

tale as old as time

:D

I feel like starting on a new fan fic!
sometimes I ask myself why I don't write fan fics, but then I remind myself that I would eternally destroy readers' perceptions of how romantic erik and christine can be. :D I love romance, but I doubt I could WRITE it.

okay. MUST GET STARTED ON WRITING. got started last time. was full of happy ideas. ideas died, story died, hands died because of writer's block. WRITER'S BLOCK IS THE WORST CURSE YOU COULD EVER GET.

oriental beauty

2008-11-04T21:32:00.001-08:00

don't ask me why it has with love, love, love, love on it. I couldn't think of anything to write D:
I think I got a leetle carried away with the patterns :D haha I found this uberawesome site with patterns! so I got carried away! IS THAT A CRIME O_O

BARACK OBAMA IS AMERICA'S NEW PRESIDENT!

2008-11-04T20:35:00.000-08:00

CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA FOR BEING ELECTED AMERICA'S (44th?) PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
ohmy, I'm so excited :D my dad called just now and he asked me to turn on CNN, and I was like NO YOU TELL ME, and he was like turn it on! so I said, Obama won, right? because I was so sure he was going to win, Obama's awesome :D, then my dad said yeah okay turn CNN on it's historic so I did. and turned it off after listening to part of mccain's concession speech (or smth) and a crowd cheering "OH-BA-MA!" for like 10 minutes ;_; I wanted to see Obama, but guess I'll have to wait for that...
OH MY THE HAPPINESS :D

frustrated

2008-11-04T20:18:00.000-08:00

I can't remember abby's blog!!
(I remember clicking on some nygh links and somehow stumbled across someone's blog who had a link to hers, but now I can't rmbr what link path I took.)

I just wasted a lot of time.
if anyone knows abby's (PSL. 112ers might know.) blog please leave a tag with the link!! thank you!

*wants to link abby* ):

unleashed upon the world

2008-11-04T19:56:00.001-08:00

view my new skin here. it's based on Taylor Swift's Love Story.

staying home right now cos of block nose and the overall feeling that my head's put on 50kg of weight. not so good, but after having much much rest feel better :D

I feel like creating another skin! yesterday there was no SOTD. again. so it's still xmissyger's. sigh. I must admit maybe I'm getting a leetle too sotd-obsessed :D

haha. but look at it this way: you spend hours on a blogskin, you feel it looks good and so do some people on bs.com, and you get hopeful, and then you find out the SOTD opportunity has been wasted on some unworthy skin. maybe 'unworthy's a little too strong, and I do think xmissyger deserved 99% of that SOTD, but some of them are totally not. like the your love is a lie one. practically everyone said that was so un-SOTD material.

must get to work. just cos I'm sick doesn't mean I should submit all my work late tmr.
woke up feeling it was thurs and got happy. then found out it was wednesday. oh well.

let's see what's due tmr.

oh!
I only have to study for my spanish and science tests. spanish's done, so science. (I hate rocks. seriously.)

other than that I doubt there's anything! :D and on friday the only thing that's due is to study for maths chap 4 test!
awesome!

I need to ask mr huttner about 4-4, tho. my brains are jelly over THAT one. was going to ask him today but since I'm sick... (growls) redo is due tmr so there's no way I can hand it in. but I got a 76% so tt's okay, since redo can only bring me up to 80%. not like I got 40% or smth.

I maxed on 145.

2008-11-03T03:17:00.001-08:00

how optimistic is THAT outlook???

ok, ok, I SRSLY need to bathe before the tchr comes.

"tried, but didn't succeed" is not the same as "failed"

2008-11-03T03:13:00.000-08:00

oh well. tried to create a new skin that had bgs of notebook paper with a heading, dear diary, today I fell in love, but it's all screwed up and I'm frustrated. :X I should have just used trusty old codes and created a cliched skin. at least THEN I would have had some sense of achievement, because the one I'm less-than-halfway-thru now doesn't even look like what I imagined it to be.

oh dear, I'm all but hopeful;

right now need to bathe before tuition, so I get refreshed, quote my mum.
I suppose she's right. my nerves are all frazzled from skinning. I suppose I'll never get an SOTD... I rated today's SOTD yesterday, it was just another slightly cliched skin and the welcome page was so messy!! to me, that is.

I thought that it would cheer me up to visit cy's friend cassandra's blog, cos cy said cass likes my skins and wants to use one of them, but then it turned out she's using a past-SOTD that I faved.
is anyone using my skins??? seriously!

even zhongxuan has had 900 hits.
I bet mine's maxed on 100-200.

*is depressed*

paint your palette blue blue blue

2008-11-03T02:29:00.000-08:00

I FEEL LIKE CREATING A NEW SKIN! (:
it shall be simple.
because I have one hour till tuition starts ;_;
and after tuition it's basically qiong-bathe-dinner-packbag-sleep. no time for skinning- or anything else, for that matter.
thank GOODNESS I finished my hw already. ;D
if I were truly a trabajadora (hard worker) I would do my 4-4 redo. but it's due thurs. SO THERE. ;DDD
there's no pe tomorrow!
there's no pe tomorrow!
didn't have it today either, actually, cos I woke up with a sore throat and blocked nose -ever know how bad THAT is on a monday?- so got to sit at the bleachers or whatever those things are called while everyone else learned lacrosse. whee. it would be better if they were running or smth, cos now I'm behind everyone else on a new sport. damn. esp since tata says it's difficult, tho I heard nicole and christina testifying that it was their now-favourite-sport. O.o

amy, mindy, robbie and win (*cough*) didn't come today. because they were all sick, I think. wonder if there's a bug going around.

bewitched!pride and prejudice new skin

2008-11-02T01:41:00.000-07:00

click HERE! to view the skin that took me two days to complete ;_;

low low low low low

2008-11-01T03:44:00.000-07:00

haha LOW! flo rida ft t-pain! if you think about the lyrics they don't make much sense. "shorty got low low low low low." like wth O.o haha! anyway! they played it at the halloween booha social yesterday, it was so cool! everyone was like jumping around dancing then when it got to the low low low part everyone all went -guess- lowwwww LOL. it's like we were all going low-lower-lower-lower-loweeeest and then jumping up again. ;DD

haha as you can tell the social was kind of fun. the dancing, at least. I'm addicted to disturbia! by rihanna! bum-bum-de-dum-dum-dum-de-dum-bum. ;D they played it last night too. and stuff like I kissed a girl (the beat is nice but I don't like the lyrics). and elevator. and like only two slow songs. in which people like anna (?) and becca slow-danced with guys. like brandon. who was a cowboy. O.o

but other than that... the cupcakes were good ;D the PTA did an awesome job of halloween-theming stuff but other than dancing and grabbing coke and sprite and orange juice and biscuits, (we went to haunted house but it wasn't tt good - except the 40B went to tsunami relief! ;D) there wasn't much to do. it made you want to sit down in a proper quiet environement, drink hot chinese tea and have pizza. or smth. I wanted pizza cos I was hungry but they only had stuff like cupcakes, donuts, biscuits, brownies, etc. (which are totally nice but not for the esp hungry. :X)

oh well. I don't think I'll go to another social. except maybe winter or smth IDK. cos my feet hurt a lot after tt, the bus had some rowdy people (not tt they disturbed me much, thank goodness, unlike SOME PEOPLE *cough cough*), got stuck in a jam and it was SOOOO COLD in the bus! even with my air con off and jacket on! when I got off my specs were ALL frosted and my hands were like shivering. :_:

was halfway thru a bs -PRIDE AND PREJUDICE! MR DARCY! KEIRA KNIGHTLEY! IS THERE A BETTER MOVIE??- using dancingsheep basecodes (WITH PERMISH) when tuition tchr came ._. but now I need to do my catechism postah! about my soontobe name! CHRISTIANNE!

NO, CHINGYING, YOU CAN'T CALL ME CHRISSIE, OR I'LL CALL YOU CHINGAY. I'M SERIOUS. ;D

New Skin! Finally!

2008-10-29T05:08:00.000-07:00

not that it's been long since I made it. it's just that this skin took me about 2 and a half hours to make. and it's still not what I expected it to be.

well, anyway, view it here. it's based on daughtry's what about now, as I promised. (bs.com is being LAGGY!)

GTG. said I'd do hw at 6 and it's 7.12 already. even if the only hw I have is humanities and spanish, I want to sleep early today, I'm kind of tired. (not to mention my eyes are peeling.)

this is love, and love looks good on anyone

2008-10-29T03:20:00.000-07:00

I can't believe someone criticized a skin on bs.com because the creator used pictures of middle-aged people, claiming that young people look better. Sure they do, but the whole point of the skin was love (as is the whole point of most skins, I've noticed), and love's for everyone, not just the pretty and young. If it WAS only for the youthful, would we be here today? Surely our parents weren't all in their teens when they had us.

Daughtry's What About Now music video is truly inspirational. I think it's not only a music video, it's also a campaign to fight against poverty and to make a difference in the world. There's one part that says, "I'm an average Joe just trying to make ends meet... Can I make a difference?" It just sums up every one of us. And it's amazing how down-to-earth the video is. It's not just another video of a celebrity in gold dolled up and dancing.

I'm thinking of making a music video for it. I'm determined to get SOTD! ;D LOL. I wish the SOTDs were not limited to just the top scorers, as it seems to be currently, with people like !ferris and detonatedlove. I wish some novice would get SOTD. Then it would give people more hope. Currently on DeviantArt, looking for 'matching pictures'.

confirmation name

2008-10-29T02:46:00.000-07:00

on this sunday I need to do a presentation of my chosen saint name for confirmation!!

I have tentatively decided on christianne. for several reasons:

it can be interpreted as "christ" and "anne". anne's mother mary's mother, and also my mother's nickname (which I was earlier considering)- and christ, well, is self-explanatory.
it resembles "christine", which is a name I was earlier considering as well, and "christina"- a saint/martyr who survived many ordeals because of God's miracles. read about st. christine here.

well, only two- but they're pretty close.

hmmm... grace marie christianne?

[you know, I briefly considered victoria, if there's a st. victoria. then victoria (teo) and I would have identical names ;D haha.]

I thought this place was an empire

2008-10-28T05:10:00.000-07:00

I feel like creating a blogskin but need to go for dinner soon, so I'll just post here. (Isn't the picture cute? Got it off DeviantArt, which is a haven for artistic-picture-worshippers like me ;D just kidding!)
Just replied an email from Ching Ying. To quote her, "laughing like you're giving birth." (she was talking about guys' voices breaking.) (I thought people don't laugh when giving birth?)
Eh. Today nothing much excitable to talk about, except no PE. Oh, and this Fri apparently I think is the end of soccer! Which is a reasonably yay thing to think of, but if I'm not wrong the class is going to be split up and one half's going to do cross country. Which is NOT yay-able. In fact, cross country is worse than soccer. Soccer is suddenly the awesomest thing in the world, man. (Maybe Mr. Vaughan is pulling our leg to get us to appreciate the sport. ;D)
Today Synergy was boring. Study-time. I think there's a high chance Mr. G ran out of things to talk about.

sorry for that bit of italic hyperventilating ;D
let's see...
21/100 (or 0.21, or 21%) of the books read!
ain't I awesome :D haha just kidding ;D

well, didn't happen

2008-10-26T03:13:00.001-07:00

that, folks, is megan follows. who is decidably better-looking than paris hilton, lindsay lohan, or many of today's more popular actresses. ;D

I have decided that les miserables is far better than any recent blockbusters too ;D

(it seems I'm in an old-is-best mood.)

just watched making of les miserables: stage by stage. admittably, I'm a bit disappointed. I expected backstage footage of the tenth anniversary dream cast and maybe the making of the 10th anniversary, because isn't that the cd I bought? but instead I got to find out the history of les miserables, which is interesting, I suppose. also got to see the hungarian cast or smth. they're good but I dislike the thenardiers in that version. there's this eponine who was featured -not sure if hungarian- who's quite good. I'm not sure of her name. it might be linzi.

sigh.

have decided on anne for my confirmation name :D 99% sure, at least. firstly because it's my mum's like nickname, and secondly because well.. well... ~~anne of green gables~~ (JK) I've always liked the name anne. and grace marie anne sounds ok. NOT like grace marie antoinette. which my mum jokingly suggested initially. also it's kind of like a coincidence that st. anne was the mother of Mother Mary, and my baptism name (marie) was chosen because of Mother Mary (so was grace- ostensibly so that I'd have the grace of Mother Mary or smth, I think). it's a wonder Joaquim isn't part of my name (that's Mother Mary's dad).

eh.

need to do some research on st. anne for my confirmation presentation thing. adios!

food for afterthought

2008-10-25T04:32:00.001-07:00

eck, GTG.

no signature?

2008-10-25T00:33:00.000-07:00

I realize I forgot to put that little signature thing at the end of every post in the codes. stuff like [grace*] laughed at 7:07 A.M. or something.

oh well. shall add it in another day :D

going, going, dead

2008-10-25T00:29:00.000-07:00

my tagboard's dead!

revive it, people, I'm begging ya

just watched anne of green gables (the first movie) with my mum :D megan follows is loved! I should srsly create a bs for her. and jonathan crombie. who is much much better than zac efron. ~~I dare you to deny me!~~ haha quote the brochure, "every girl who's read anne of green gables dreams of her own gilbert blythe", or smth like that. I so agree! :D haha. he's like, mr. darcy's twin, seriously, except that he isn't stuck-up and pompousy. and rich. LOL.

today's supposed to be my forget-fun-finish-homework-first day, but I broke that resolution already. I'm determined to read some fan fic before doing my maths. which, I think, is my only homework left. lemme check.

yep. maths -2 chapters- and also I need to check panthernet, to see if we really have a follow-up about the consumerism novels. last time I checked mr kenney hadn't updated for larry yet.

screwed widths!

2008-10-24T07:59:00.001-07:00

haha nuuu screwed widths. (and I saved the img on the left all in caps by accident lol.) well I was trying to avoid it. and IDK why it still happens (screwed widths, not saving pics all in caps). I think blogger isn't supposed to have posts where you type randomly all in one sentence. like hahahkabkdilWGEIBRI. cos that was what I did as a tester post and the widths just went poofsplaht. and speaking of poofsplaht -or going there- look at my new tagboard! isn't it awesomely fat and cute :D JK. I just forgot my password and username for my acc so the only thing I can do with my tagboard is to make the widths different -_- haha. if I remembered I'd make it transparent. more versatile. whatever. fan fics here me comes!

transferring

2008-10-24T07:48:00.000-07:00

I think I'll put the new skin here. cos I'm getting pretty tired of pausing the applause hilary duff gets at the beginning of this version of wake up. also, of scrolling down to see the tagboard. LOL.

(yes, call me lazy.)

Finally, a new skin!

2008-10-24T07:46:00.001-07:00

Er, turns out I had a previous post also titled 'Finally, a new skin!' Creepy. Anyway, click here! to view it. confessionsofateenagedramaqueen-based.

It's 9.47. Eek. Who knew coding a bs would take 45 minutes? (Anyway this one would. My original ideaS didn't work out. *curses*)

Is off to some relaxing fan fic. Then check on the bs. Then zzzz. ;D "Big Zs!"

Les Miserables ROCKS.

I want to watch the making of disc tmr. didn't have time to watch it in the hotel- tho I watched the entire concert :D ENROJLAS!
I found out there's enrojlas/eponine fan fic. apparently.

I'm pro-MariusEponine! curse you, cosette. O: JUST KIDDING! lol.

Update!

2008-10-24T04:08:00.000-07:00

I want to create a new blogskin!
and, this time I mean it, I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY WORK ON THE CODINGS!

(each time I say I want to create a new bs, I always get the pic done and look at the codes and go, 'Too Complicated. Next Time, Mate!')

lalalala *edges off* ;D

just came back from huahin! cha-an, actually (how to spell :X), which is like near hua-hin so who cares. :/ stayed at holiday inn! really nice! a lot of jellyfishes tho. small ones. "small, but plenty." also went to singapore! visited ny! yay highness!

(fiona, your post was touching, but kind of mean to ping ghee. :/ she doesn't screech. plus, taking care of you guys is almost like obama's job WHEN he becomes president. which is soon! obama for president! ;D)

OFF TO CODE! *huffs off*
oh and I need to check bs.com to see if THOSE SKINNERS have replied yet (if not: I DON'T LIKE THEM! poo. haha JK)

ZOMG!

2008-10-21T02:17:00.000-07:00

ILOVEYOUMUMMY!:D

my mum went out today to get some cds for my dad, and came back with a load of heart-ed stuff!

-a gold pencilcase-clutch-y-thing!
-a lea salonga cd! :DDDD
-an inspirational-songs kind of cd! :DDDD
-LES MISERABLES 10TH ANNIVERSARY!!!
-ANNE OF GREEN GABLES COMPLETE SET (CD)!!!

hughughug!
and they are all like rare!
as in, the cds.

MY WISHLIST EES HAPPEE. :DDDDD

highighighighighighighighighighLOVEEEEE:D

I was riding top down, with my hair undone

2008-10-21T00:03:00.001-07:00

Visited NY today! Oh, the highness (:

First we just kind of stood in a circle throwing Nat's old pig plushie around, then ate some of the awesome porkflossbiscuits I brought from BKK! then then then hung around doing nothing. then played murderer, and mafia, and pass the parcel (for like, 1 minute -.-) then um um um said goodbye. D:

can't wait to visit again :D

viva la vida! haha just feel like listening to it, the beginning is so nice and and and and instrumentalingy. oh, whatever. I KNOW IT LOOKS WEIRD.

oh and I need to check BS.com if them skinners have given them 'permish' yet. :D (I TALK FUNNY. D: lol.) then then then I shall um um um take an impromptu flight to PARIS! <3

There.

2008-10-19T18:51:00.000-07:00

I has edited my wishlist + goals section!

I removed the part about joining middle school dance troupe in 'goals', because the ms dance troupe only has auditions once in a school year, and next school year I'll be in high school already anyway. Also, I removed the part about being a better Catholic, because although I still want to be able to be MORE PATIENT and MORE KIND and MORE TOLERANT, those aren't things you can measure. I can't wake up one day, take out a Cathometer and say "Huzzah! I'm a better Catholic!" besides, doing that would be kind of egoistical, and it's better to be humble. I remember last time my parents and I were kidding around and I yelled (in the car :X haha) "I'M PROUD OF MY HUMBLE-ITY!" and all of us laughed. (yes, I know it's humility. humble-ity sounds nicer :).)

Oh man, my legs look like I've got chicken pox, or something. Had a huge scare yesterday as to whether I had dengue, because my legs and right arm SERIOUSLY have red mosquito bites ALL OVER, but my mum reassured me that I didn't have fever and joint aches, so I was fine. I think by the end of it she was kind of irritated because I had a major case of paranoia.

:/ LOL!

Oh dear,

2008-10-19T18:47:00.000-07:00

Adobe Photoshop doesn't work on this computer (in S'pore) anymore D: it says 'scratch disks full'. scratch you, photoshop! *growls*

fedora_girl's blog is muchly amusing :D I found myself lol-ing while reading it.

have sent off messages to two skinners for permission ("permish"! XDD) to use their codes as basecodes- one for scrolly boxes (I WANT WANT WANT) and the other for navigational sidebars (I WANT WANT).

:D

shall edit my wishlist. have decided to want less stuff. ;D and put more under 'goals'! :D haha. *recalls primary-school-days of being called a perfectionist* oh, whatever.

ALL NY PEOPLE LOOK HERE

2008-10-19T18:09:00.000-07:00

if you are from ny112, pay attention!
I'm visiting NY tomorrow Tues Oct 21st, at your break-time 11.15a.m.. I'll go straight to your classroom. Please do not go to the canteen. If possible, bring your own food to share. I'm bringing some snacks from Thailand as well.
Sorry for the inconvenience! Tuesday is the only day I can make it T_T
Thanks lots! Can't wait to see you guys :D
---
Pishposh. Going to meet Nicki later at Plaza Sing- and Ching Ying as well if she can make it. WHY MUST EDS HAVE A LAST-MINUTE CCA MEETING?? WHY??
Oh well. Must pass CY's present to Nicki, then.

Going off to do some basecode-hunting! :D

am in singapore now!

2008-10-19T05:55:00.000-07:00

and have mosquito bites all over me -_-

bought a new pair of adidas slippers today. they're really soft, because my feet were killing me and the only other shoes I had were sport shoes (which I couldn't possibly wear everywhere) so my dad consented to buy me new slippers. granted, they were 30% off, comfy, and cheaper than the nike ones I originally wanted. (the cheap 19.90 bucks ones were super uncomfortable. who says giselle bundchen can design rubber flip-flops? then again, I'm not sure those were by her.)

going to read some fan fic, then go to bed ;D

suitcase of memories

2008-10-16T02:37:00.000-07:00

Wow, surprisingly good: Ashley Tisdale's cover of Time After Time!

Today had my presentation of blood diamonds (eeyurgh- noah was all 'That was so good! Give yourself four stars for everything!' but I was so damn nervous, I bet my flashcard's all crumpled because I was practically wringing it in my hands) and maths chapter 3 test (which was surprisingly easy except for the last question, which was confusing).

Listen to: Ashley Tisdale's cover of Heaven Is A Place On Earth.

Tomorrow's alternate dress day! The theme is mis-matched/clash, and I was going to wear a pink OP shirt over a no-brand red flowered skirt, but remembered that tmr is actually the day we film our humanities video and there's no way I'm going to film a video wearing clashing colours. I'll probably wear mismatched earrings, and socks for PE [?], cos I'm going to wear street shoes to school. And scarf! :D

I want to join choir.
Haha, random thought.
It's a semester-ly class so have to go to Mr BT this quarter. not sure, though. might drag jusmita/pichaporn/some other choir person friend along with me :D
'person friend' O: bad english!

Watch: Carrie Underwood's I'll Stand By You cover.

Carrie Underwood is an awesome singer :D Just watched Last Name. I like how after she sings about getting married, the chorus changes to I don't even know my last name...

Going to write. Or. Um. Um. Um. Em. Make a blogskin image or something.

Love Like Oxygen Y

I'm Bored.

2008-10-15T04:43:00.001-07:00

Oh dear. I don't really want to study for maths.

HOMEWORK DUE ON FRI.

Spanish dominoes.
Maths 3-4 Redo [IMPT COS I GOT REALLY LOW].
Nothing much I think.

TMR:
Bring pencil sharpeners and white erasers for Art!
Study for maths -.-

I gave up everything I had on something that just wouldn't last

2008-10-15T03:14:00.000-07:00

He who knows good will do good;
She who is wisest, is she who knows she knows nothing.

SOPHIE'S WORLD! :D

lalalala----

oh. my geology -typed geogogly LOL- presentation's tmr. cos the order was nino, then noah, then me, but nino forgot to do it so noah went, and when he finished I plugged in my thumbdrive and mr huttner said okay let's stop here. LOL. ^-^ lucky me, I guess? so tmr nino should do first [IF YOU FORGET TO DO IT AGAIN NINO I'M GOING TO BLAST YOU- just kidding] then me.

lalalala.

em.

OH! reminder to self. if helen comes online ask her about the humanities vid thing.

luckily don't have much hw due tmr -in fact, none, unless you count studying for algebra chap 3 test- but there is quite some hw due on fri so I think I'll try to get some of that done.

oh! go on youtube! and look for emmy rossum's slow me down! it's damn good! the problem with emmy rossum is, you get so entranced you can't do your algebra homework. moral of the day.

I'll probably just slack or something now. OH *remember smth I have to do*

oh well

then fan fics! and emmy rossum videos! (oops) haha. I'm determined to find out which video is it in which she runs in this darkish blue cocktail dress on the streets. I've seen it on a lot of fan videos ._.

Blast!

2008-10-14T05:11:00.001-07:00

BLAST YOU, GEOLOGY PROJECT!

more than 2 hours staring at blood diamond websites = tired. sad. stressed.

(and wanting to kill mr. huttner. JUST KIDDING.)

off to take a break now. probably just do another img for the candle-lit romances thing (the one I did yesterday was like, so-so) or smth.

look at the stars, look how they shine for you

2008-10-14T01:32:00.000-07:00

Tanya Chua- Yellow [originally sung by Coldplay]

Gayle Nerva- Beautiful Disaster [originally sung by Kelly Clarkson] (seriously, why does everyone say she can't sing? she's not the best singer around, but she's pretty darn good! :D)

Jonathan Leong- Chasing Cars [originally sung by... Matchbox Twenty? not sure] (SO much better than the original)

Sorry, just clicking on Singapore Idol videos randomly ;D LOL.

Yesterday during Humanities Mr. Kenney asked me to go to Mr. G's room next door and get my reading log, and I was thinking, 'Isn't that what you asked Kaumudi to do when it was her birthday?' Sure enough when I was at the door I saw Loic look at me and then say something, and when I opened the door Loic was like HAAAAPY BIRTHDAY and then Mr. Kenney grinned and everyone started singing. I was like, Whaaa-? Okay, erm, thanks? lol. and then yongmin was clapping and joanne was singing happily and beaming. and I was like, eh, thanks, but this is SO EMBARRASSING haha. but oh well, it was srsly nice of Mr. Kenney. later pichaporn and helen were like, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME IT WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY??? but it would have been pretty egoistic to go to everyone on MSN and tell them it was my birthday or smth right. ;_;

Paul Twohill- Superman [originally sung by Five For Fighting]

men were made to ride
with clouds between their knees

I HATE fans who keep screaming during songs. SRSLY, you can't even hear Paul's voice at some parts. Yes, we know his name's Paul, and I'm pretty sure he knows it too, so why do you need to shriek it out?

--

Managed to get Gayle Nerva's Leave (Get Out)! from her blog.
(Click on the Media tab. Wanted to download her other songs, but the links didn't work. :/)
I've tried to get it on YouTube for ages but nobody had a really good quality version, and this one is quite OK. ;D

Grace's homework for today (due tomorrow)
Art Get white eraser(s)
Maths 3-3 Redo
Science Geology PPT
Spanish Worksheet

Need to go get started on the Science PPT, because that's the most urgent one.... May have to present tomorrow :X But I doubt it, cos I'm no. 9, and if each presenter takes 5-10 minutes... 8 people will take anywhere between 40 and 80 minutes, and that's about a period. So unless Mr. Huttner decides to chop maths period as well for presenting (please no), then I'm safe ;D

!Hasta luego!

178th post- New blog created

2008-10-13T03:57:00.000-07:00

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE NEW BLOG THAT I HAVE CREATED AND SOON WILL BE MOVING TO.

This blog now has 178 posts, which is probably more than what xxmiss-txx.bs had when I 'abandoned' it (aww). I'm trying to figure out when I should move ;D like I said on the new blog, prob. when I have a new nice skin done, or when I'm properly satisifed with one of my current ones :D

Isn't it sad? I've created so many but few have turned out to be what I wanted them to be. Those few include On My Own and... and...

and...

I don't know. I suppose On My Own is probably one of my favourites. *sigh*

You've Intoxicated Me.

2008-10-10T21:51:00.000-07:00

The picture is so Snow White esque right ;D Got it off DeviantArt during Publications one day. (Yes, during Publications.)

Today was supposed to go on boat ride on the Chao Phrya river (how to spell??) and then visit a temple, but I didn't know we had to leave before seven, and I was so tired from last night that I slept all the way till like ten. (Oops. ;D)

So apparently we're going to try out this kway teow place. I want to go MBK ;_; and wear good ol' hiking boots so I can shop till I drop. Just kidding.

My mother says I'm the perfect example of consumerism, or something like that. Go figure ;DD

Ohhhh well.

Need to upload my Meg Cabot pics soon!!!

Optimism

2008-10-10T03:49:00.001-07:00

LOL TATA!!

"He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring... and said, 'Hey, can you help me hold this for a sec, I need to tie my shoelaces.'"

that poor girl ;_; LOL.

I am cheered up by certain thoughts.

And by randomly visiting blogs.

I'm happy to say:
JOHN, I'M DIGUSTED BY YOUR DEVOTED-NESS TO LISA KOH (: in a good way, of course. LOL.

;D

and zx is attached! apparently!

why are all my friends getting hooked up with people ;_; LOL.

Oh, Look

2008-10-10T03:00:00.000-07:00

Oh, look, SOMEBODY's being irritating.

My birthday was yesterday!

Woke up at. 7 something. I think.

Had a groggy breakfast, and qiong-ed out to ISB for my student-led parent-teacher conference. Turned out we were early by like fifteen minutes, so we hung around and then went to Mr. Huttner's room. Forgot what extrusive rocks were. (Was forgiven, since we aren't done on the rocks part yet.) And my mother thinks I can stretch my brain further in maths. Oh dear.

Then had Spanish. Watched my video, and died of shame, because I looked so weird and made a few mistakes. But my parents were all gushing about how much Spanish I knew. Oh well. I guess since they don't understand Spanish they didn't spot the mistakes, but Senor E did and he said it's OK since I spotted them, which is the whole point, and according to him speaking Spanish is uber hard anyway, esp for a beginner.

-sorry to break the monologue:
seriously, you're being damn obnoxious. you don't get so much stuff, and you come up with the WEIRDEST reasons and explanations for what you do. you keep changing the truth so much, I don't know what to believe anymore- and thus I've decided just not to believe you, at all. you get obsessed over the strangest things, and you just don't understand even the simplest things I try to explain. I'm telling you I hate him, and I'll never like him, and I wish he was never born, because he's so irritating, and obnoxious (just like you, in fact), and, wait for it, you haven't even MET HIM before in your ENTIRE LIFE. and you insist that we were both made for each other, or something, even to the point of creating a marriage certificate, which was grammatically incorrect and was totally fake-looking, and you keep harping on it even though I've told you countless times to drop it. looks like the three of us weren't meant to meet. because now I feel like bawling out my brains, and digging out yours- wait. does it even exist?
no, I don't think it does.
oh well.

-back.

sorry for that flame, I just feel like screaming my throat out and bawling my brains out with rage. not with sadness.

because I'm damn irritated.

back to birthday details.

mr kenney talks a lot.
I must read more non-fiction. and chimmer stuff, other than romances and realistic fiction stuff, aka stuff where girls are social misfits and finally get asked out by popular hot guys.
(read: meg cabot and co.) and I must speak up: more, slower, louder. (ditto for maths, science, and spanish. OOPS. my teachers were all like, "of course, she doesn't have to. maybe it's just her personality." and my mother coughed really loudly. :X LOL)

then we popped in to dr. e's (dr e is so nice! haha yay).

then we met ms baker and exchanged the basic hi how are you ish kinda stuff, and then we went ... home. I think. for lunch.

then I went on the computer.

then we went to centralworld.
meg cabot was supposed to come at 6.00. she came at 6.2oish, had an interview with journalists, and finally turned up for the book signing at 7.00 ish. managed to get my book signed first. AVALON HIGH! it's my fave meg cabot book :D my only deep regret is that I totally forgot to take a head-on pic. so I've only got pics of both of us looking down. and there's one of her looking up at me, but in that pic she kind of looks WTH-ish, in a weird way. LOL. *sniffs sadly* ah well.

then had dinner at limoncello, with dad and mum and uncle and aunt, and got presented with hue bottles of L' Occitane shampoo and conditioner from uncle and aunt :D from dad got a really cool turquoisey dress watch (I wanted this white sporty one with rainbow stripes and they knew it, but they said it was too like my current one and I can't wear it to formal occasions and stuff. oh well). from mum got 2 purses! one wallety one and one cute soft clutch. :D *runs around happily*

today was a mammoth day. am slightly tired :X poofedout. lol. but got new running shoes cos my old ones pinched a bit. reebok! wanted the adidas ones but they were a leetle more expensive, albeit on sale. oh well. they're cute too I suppose :/ but now my dad's saying we might have to exchange them because they're too narrow or not made for my kind of running or whatever. not suited to me, in other words.

WHYYY. D:

oh well.

shall edit wishlist.

Count to 10

...

the thing is, things at Siam Paragon are like expensive. if I don't get to see meg cabot on fri cos I'm not the first 100, there's nothing there to cheer me up! this equals travelling more and more around. and being depressed. on my birthday. this is only equalled by that time when my great-grandma was hospitalized on my birthday and everyone was being sad.

oh wait.

*is cheered up*

never mind. ;D

I HATE KINOKUNIYA

2008-10-08T04:02:00.000-07:00

Tiffany Jo Allen's Take a Bow.

I hate Kino, man. I mean, they say the first 100 to sign up will get Meg Cabot's autograph. Does that mean that the other people don't get it? It's so mean! 100 is like so little. And the other bookstores don't have this limit. It's so unfair. I'm going tomorrow to check out more details at their Siam Paragon outlet, but come on. I have one whole day for my birthday, and what do I get, time wasted because of some stupid company saying we have to sign up just to get an autograph. IT'S SO MEAN.

So much for birthday eves.

This one sucked, pretty much. Strong language, but it's true.
THIS IS SO HORRIBLE.

Jorden: It wasn't my fault! I just kicked the ball and she was standing in the way.

taa-daa! phew. the middle one -the masks one- took me AGES to do. it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to cos photoshop -or at least, the little of photoshop that I know- wouldn't let me. oh well. I hope that you can at least tell it's meant to resemble drama masks. ;D

Four Days To...

2008-10-05T00:35:00.000-07:00

4 days to my birthday!
Last night went to Shangri-La with my uncle and aunt and parents for dinner at their Italian restaurant, Angelini. They have this awesome jazz singer there, and I was like only distantly aware of her singing the happy-birthday-song, then all of a sudden she came up the steps and I'm like, WTH? Someone Else Has A Birthday? and then this cake comes out of nowhere and my jaw drops to the floor LOL.

So cool! haha much love to all Angelini staff and my uncle and aunt and parents! :D we haven't eaten the cake though. cos we were all stuffed. :/

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Good morning son
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt

Still Fighting It rocks. It's so sad and emotionally POWERING! Haha, yes 'powering'.

I'm going to make more pics for the cyber bullying thing. Only got one so far, but got more ideas. Even if one IS a bit scary. (The tagline's going to be 'Cyber bullying is murder. Do you want to be a murderer?' :/ LOL. IDK if I'm really going to do that though.)

Hello.

2008-10-03T04:18:00.000-07:00

6 DAYS TO MY BIRTHDAY!
*starts dancing*

just finished reading my latest PotO fanfic- A Lifetime of Love (yes, another waytoointoerik work ;D he/she's a genius ;D lol). sadly I have to rate this a 3.5-4 out of 5. the best one so far has to be Lessons in Love. it set a high bar for all other waytoointoerik fan fics ;D haha.

Grace's Resolution. not to let yongmin copy any more of my work! and not to help him with his work anymore!

haha, I know I'll break it on monday or something. ;_; I am a compulsive homework-helper in humanities. damn. LOL.

finished beastly today! by alex flinn. it's an awesome book. basically a modern beauty and the beast, from the beast's point of view, about the most popular guy in school who asks an ugly girl out to the prom just to humiliate her, only to find out she's a witch. O.o scaaaarrryyyy.

today was like a chao bad jam after school lah. arrived home only at 5. normally I come home at 3-3.30. that bad. and some people just couldn't keep their mouths shut. so irritating.

lalalalala waytoointoerik [heart]ed! :D

anyway.

erm erm erm erm . erm erm erm erm .

IDK what to write ;_; haha.

oh yah oh yah oh yah NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY [cos of the parent teacher student conference thingum... and mine's on thurs so I don't have to come on fri] and MEG CABOT IS COMING ON FRIDAY so I want to ask my parents if we can go book-signing ;D

We won't stop till somebody calls the cops
Even then we'll just pretend nothing ever happened!

LOL.
juno soundtrack [heart]ed.

Thou Shalt Do The Dance!

2008-10-02T02:20:00.000-07:00

lalalalala.

tho I checked for details and discovered that MAYYYBE it would be higher if mr kenney updated powerschool more often :X really.

sigh.

having slightly headache. I think.

TGTF! aka Thank God Tomorrow's Friday. ;D

feel like randomly singing a song or reading fan fic or something.

"SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

2008-10-01T04:34:00.000-07:00

Watch your thoughts,
They become your words.
Watch your words,
They become your actions.
Watch your actions,
They become your habits.
Watch your habits,
They become your character.
Watch your character,
It becomes your destiny.

isn't that so cool? got it off a poster in mr banks's room. ;D

GOT MY HAIR CUT JUST NOW!
I look like a china doll, I kid you not, with my straight fringe and layered shoulder-length hair.
I feel like putting a cheongsam on and going around saying Ni Hao to everyone.

;_____;

my parents say it looks good. in fact, everyone who has seen me thus far says it looks good.
I Beg To Contradict.

finished The Princess & The Pauper today. it's a damn good book by... by... lemme see... kate brian. not a name you might have heard before but you should consider looking for this book. it's awesome.

CATCH ITS REVIEW HERE ON BARNES & NOBLE!

;DD

need to bathe now. currently reading 24 Girls in 7 Days by alex bradley. it's not an egotist book. it's about a nerd whose friends play a prank to get him a date for the prom which is a week away, which explains the whole 7 days thing.

oh well.

nos vemos!

And the years go on;

2008-09-30T04:27:00.000-07:00

I love this song: Ben Folds' Still Fighting It!

it was featured in the cyber bullying video we watched in synergy today. I love the song!! :D

finished my homework already. (all that's due tomorrow, anyway.) I need to pack my suntan lotion but I'm not TOO sure where it is. lemme check if it's near my bag. (I think it is.)

awesome, it is.

MISS PRICE SUPPORTS OBAMA!
as do I ;D

but my dad supports mccain. oh well.

teeny weeny random flame message:
I'm not your homework machine. You're old enough to do work by yourself. You need to grow up -desperately need to grow up- because you can't go on being like this. Not everyone will help you. You need to be independent and more matured. You can't depend on others all the time. The world won't be like this forever; you can't live on others' help. So please, please, digest what I've been telling you, and actually learn from it, because you don't seem to be doing so right now. Please. It's irritating me to high heaven, the way you can't do anything by yourself. Or much, anyway. And the way you don't even care.

sorry for that leetle flame D:
anyway.

today was an average day. tomorrow's soccer! oh, shoot, I liked team handball :/ sigh.
made like two careless mistakes in spanish today. *headdesks* LOL. hmmm. nothing else much to say, I suppose. :/

oh well.

read fan fics; now blogging; need to do my spanish homework and maybe get started on the ISB anti-cyberbullying competition thing.

oh yah, important news:
MEG CABOT IS COMING TO BANGKOK IN OCTOBER!

MEG CABOT!
MEG CABOT!
I am so going to the book-signing. Hopefully my parents will let me.

She's supposed to go to Singapore too according to one website I read, but her official website only mentions hong kong and bkk D:

MEG CABOT!
MEG CABOT!

p.s. shawnie thought all-american girl was a friendship-bracelet book. -.- LOL!

But You're Not Really Here

2008-09-29T03:11:00.000-07:00

I just had to forget there was Spanish homework over the weekend! I just had to!
finished it during maths/science anyway, after I'd finished the test, but it's still late! oh damn. my grade will go down so. and I wanted a higher grade! shoot.
checking powerschool now. ahaha I'm so ~~kiasu~~! ;D

oh. my GPA's still 3.85. pffft. it USED to be 3.88. ever since I got my PE grade it's gone down. oh well. at least my pe grade isn't an F. I thought it would be.

LA is still A! damn. I WANT A+ LAH. GO ON MR KENNEY, PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE? O: lol haha. but still! few more points! *.*

Waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this draught- useless, and disappointing.

The Many Faces Of...

2008-09-26T04:40:00.000-07:00

somehow it doesn't look that nice. I don't really feel like blogskinning now. I guess I'll do some homework. :/ oh well.

spurt of ... of... ideas!

2008-09-26T04:09:00.000-07:00

what do you say I start a blog to write in? like a light-hearted chick novel thingy? (yes, I know, it sounds horribly degrading. but sometimes when you're tired you don't feel like writing about the suppressive Tejer and the bright heroine lead Kate, you feel like writing, "She strode in those strong impressive Christian Louboutins, diamonds glistening at her snow-white neck, raven-
black hair hanging sleekly down the back of the blood-red Gucci dress." Isn't it?)

TAG REPLIES!
HUIRAN! hello dear angel senior :D haha remember when I thought you were wenxin. how horribly embarrassing O: ANYWAY HELLO!
NATNATNATALIE! sorry I just felt like typing that rofl ;D (roflmaozedong! oh, whatever.) I remember the ghost stories in a negative aspect, though, cos I was trying to sleep. :/ aah.
SHER:D haha no need to get paranoid :/ I did pacer test in nanyang too lol although you might have heard of it as 'beep test', they're the same. you run laps to this audio thingy, which goes, "begin at the word 'start'. Start. *beep* One. *beep* Two." and if you don't finish the lap by the time the beep sounds, it counts as 1 'penalty' thingy; once you missed two laps then you're out. at least in ISB that's how it is. and your score is the number of laps you managed to do. a.k.a., the number before the one you missed. the lap's not very long lah don't worry. not like one lap round the track or something.
JLEEO: donch insult YMCA! anyway anyway no she's not peeing! that's so mean! it's a stalks brush. aka eg flower stalks, not creepy paedophile stalks stalk. O.o

that sounds funny.

ANYWAY! adios. photoshopping eye goes. ;D

Photoshop Pic!

2008-09-26T04:04:00.000-07:00

isn't this so cool? the words actually say 'when they say it's all over'. and the little black squiggly stuff at the cameras is 'sweet.intoxication'. obviously too small to see. oh well.

EYE LUBBXX EET! haha, I remember all those times maddie and natalie followed me to the bom sac duty and we (well, I mostly :/) wrote twittalk on the white board, much to maddie's amusement/horror, because a lot were like MADDIE LUBBXX DEWEI or something. DEWEI! I'd forgotten about him. my ex-scrabble opponent, whose age I am still unclear of.

oh well.

That girl was a one-time teenage drama queen

2008-09-26T03:48:00.000-07:00

Finished Tell It To Naomi by Daniel Ehrenhaft today. It was a surprisingly good read, considering that I found it by chance: craning my neck and pulling out the first book that caught my eye in that particular shelf in the library. It's about Dave, this guy who's starting high school and isn't cool at all because he lives in a house with three females and no other males at all so he's kind of feminine-er than the others (not in a creepy way, though), and he has this crush on a high school sophomore girl. so he tries to get her to fall in love with her by writing an advice column, pretending to be his older sister naomi, but everything gets screwed up. It's cool! :D

At this rate, you know why by tomorrow my reading log will have 21 books written down.

And pretty soon, 22, cos Little Women -considerably- isn't a very hard book to read. Just a little bit weird at first, cos they all talk and act in a very old-fashioned way. :O LOL!

My Internet was pretty screwed just now :/ so I photoshopped before restarting. created a pretty awesome pic! not using any brushes. :/ LOL on this computer I only have 2 brushes. stars and city skylines. which didn't apply to the picture I was creating. shall post the picture in the next post so I don't have to drag it all the way down :X

EEYER!

2008-09-24T02:53:00.000-07:00

Sorry, I just felt like saying that. 'Eeyer!', that is.

Just finished How to be popular by Meg Cabot just now, over cereal with coffee milk. (Yes, coffee milk. It was an experiment, you might say. :/ Results: OK OK. :O LOL.)

During dance today we learnt about dance from different times, and watched the video of our performance. ZOMG I REALLY REALLY SCREWED UP BIG TIME MAN :X It's safe to say I'm probably one of the worse dancers.

:/

AAAAAH!

Anyway.

The jitterbug is cool.

MOVIN' ON!

Going to download the following happy dancey songs. You know, the upbeat kind that you just need to listen to to cheer you up (:

YMCA! By Village People. Listening to it now. It's so great. (If you wanna know, I danced to it in kindergarten for our EOY concert. Or something.) WATCH IT HERE, MAN.

NEW AGE GIRL! By *wink* Deadeye Dick, as every 112er should know ;D from the movie 'Dumb and Dumber' or something.

IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE YMCAAAA... anyway.

SHOW ME THE MONEY! by pete pablo, or something. from STEP UP soundtrack! step up rocks our socks off! all of 'em!

NEVER LEAVE YOU (UH OH)! by lumidee! it's on my newest skin. LOL. It rocks. from CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN. ;D

um um um um um

oh

ALL FOR ONE! for memory's sake ;DDDDD LOL.

obviously, from HSM2.

slash, NY Sec 1 talentime ;DDDDDD 112's awesome performance!

To come off the highness. A little. In PE we were supposed to take our yearbook pics but it was rescheduled to tmr (thank goodness. I forgot and my hair looked horrendous. Like in my P1 ezlink pic. :OOO) so we did the pacer test (*curses*) and some team handball practice. I improved on the pacer test by 4! which might not seem like much but trust me it is. :/ jorden is so pro he got to like 90? I think. :/

If you want to know, I got to 20. He did like 70 more than me. I can't even DO 70.

This is so... depressing. MOVIN' ON!

mr. kenney just HAD to read out the number of books some people read, right? :/ mr kenney's nice. really. but he had to type out, KUDOS TO THESE PEOPLE FOR THEIR READING LOGS, and put me right at the bottom, after all those people that'd read like 3-5 books, and my name there, GRACE: 18.

the class practically fell silent. and everyone was staring at me. (I was staring at the screen, wanting to die.) and there was like this echo around the room. "Eighteeeennnn..." like reading 18 books in like 2 months is everything anyone's ever ever wanted to do ever so much. :/ it was kind of embarrassing.

I read another book today. and I'm still reading little women. (yes, I read 3 books in between LW. :/ sophie kinsella 2, meg cabot 1. easy, lighthearted romances.)

sigh.

tomorrow, I shall make a point to stick to jo and meg and marmee, and abandon meg cabot and her world of unpopular high school girls.

:/

MAKE A BLOGSKEEEEENNNNN!

oh wait. I want to do this follow-up for humanities first. cos it's due on friday. and I'm a bit paranoid about forgetting to do it/not bringing it (like what I did for maths. THANK GOODNESS I can do maths formulas in 10-15 minutes and... get 18/20?? amazing. well, it was super easy. thank goodness).

Oh Shoot.

2008-09-23T03:10:00.001-07:00

I'm definite that my Science dropped by 3 marks. And I'm pretty sure the Language Arts dropped by 2. Both are still in their original letter grades, but it means I'm closer to dropping one O:

OH DAMN I NEED TO WORK HARDER.

WORK HARDER, GRACE.
WORK HARDER, GRACE.
WORK HARDER, GRACE!

Dude,

2008-09-23T02:55:00.000-07:00

It's not like I'm going to send you all my notes and everything, right, and allow you to copy my work. Chill. People have different interests. You need to find your own, and stop following or asking about mine.

To: Another Dude

Can you please, please, just acknowledge that not everyone fancies you and not everyone wants to be your best friend? Okay, maybe in your old school all the girls fell at your feet in blatant worship, but they're not like that here. You've gotta learn how to leave a girl alone when she tells you to.

made a new skin! view it here!

finished reading shopaholic and sister by sophie kinsella today; finished confessions of a shopaholic yesterday. it's so sad that the library only has those two books in the series! and they're not even consecutive! O: I guess I just... have... to... hike... down... to... the... bookshop. *__* eyes gleam. ;D

It's kind of a slightly less bimbotic version of Meg Cabot's Guy Meets Girl and all that. For one, it's not all about making out.

anyway!

rate and comment on zee blogskeen plees! ;D

and to zhongxuan: OSTICKEN! (did I spell it right. =.=)

and and and!
I've found out john is xxxxxx xxxx ;DD and happy for him! yay! (no, the Xs don't stand for kissin' jlee ;D or chia. or yong. YOU GET THE POINT. ;D)

shall go check powerschool.
NOW I'm getting a leetle paranoid about that test we did today during humanities. it was semi-difficult, but I was sleepy and foggy-brained so it didn't really hit me that much as it would have if I were in a full focus-then-panic state. ;D

but does that mean I fared worse?

oh no.

let's go see, shall we?

lalalala I suddenly feel like creating a blogskin with fancy fonts! I must try out my Photoshop. Dang. haven't gotten round to doing it.

I think I am addicted to fan fiction. worst still, addicted to certain fan fiction works, such that I can practically reel off some sentences, just like I am with the Harry Potter series. and A Ring of Endless Light. I read them all so much.

I mean, the E/C fan fics are always so sweet! ;D

ANYWAY.

(snorts to self)

TOMORROW IS EARLY-RELEASE DAY! TRALALALALALA!
anyway.

today we had this Freedom From Chemical Dependency talk thing. kind of shocking in a passive way. I mean, the speaker was in rehab TWICE, and her sister's an alcoholic! I've never met an alcoholic before. I mean, she looks like the secretary kind. NOT the kind to ever, ever get addicted.

O.O

amazing.

really proves the point that alcoholics look like you or me, right.

update from mr. vaughan: I need to stop being a graceful dancer. I need to be more AGGRESSIVE!

this is so amazing. he was like, Grace, I know you're probably a graceful dancer and everything, but you need to be more aggressive! Look, Tata's being more aggressive! [is thrown a ball]

isn't that so cool-in-a-weird-way.

MANAGED TO RUN A (nearly) MILE RUN WITHOUT (1) STOPPING AND (2) BEING THE LAST ONE TO FINISH!

isn't that awesome.

I am HOPING that my fitness will improve by the time I return to singapore. O:

okay. here's my Resolution:

I NEED TO BATHE AT 6.00 AND NOT DELAY IF NOT MY TUITION TIMETABLE WILL GO KAZOOM. AND IF NOT I WILL BE TERRIBLY SLEEPY THROUGHOUT. AND IF NOT I WILL COLLAPSE INTO A GRUMPY DON'TTALKTOME STATE AFTER TUITION. I NEED TO BATHE AT 6.00 PRECISELY.

I hope I got the point across to my inner brain, or conscience. Wherever it is. O:

I'm blabbering.

Okay. Fanfic or photoshop?

Photoshop.

Why do I have the feeling I will end up fanfic-reading soon?

*shrug*

PS Finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic today! it was sooo good. (I checked it out today. I must stop bad habit of reading voraciously in a moving bus.)

chingying:

ahaha yes when I went back to singapore I had a srsly extensive WMP library and hilary duff -whom I hadn't listened to in ages- was part of it so I had to make one ;D
well, don't dig it when you're thinking, it's worse :/ JUST KIDDING
haha here we don't have A*, it's just A-, A, then A+, zenith. ;D yes, the A+ is really elusive D:

brigette:

yay link me! :D

yay, done. I need to find a chim chim topic to write about. O: LOL. how about my essential question?

does conformity affect our ability to form opinions and stick to them?

actually it should be something like, how does conformity affect our ability to form opinions and stick to them, because without the how, it's a Y-N question, kind of like a lab report problem question O:

anyway! I don't think conformity affects our ability to form opinions, because conformity is kind of like an outside thing, a facade, that doesn't penetrate the heart and mind extensively; but stick to them- yeah, I think conformity affects that ability. Conformity is kind of like a glue; you can think of the outside but you can't reach it or stay there cos you're glued to conformity.

O: CHIMNESS!

chimness looks nice on a blog. O.O

I'm blubbahring.

I should install my photoshop! Toodles, y'all. ;D

I just realized Miss T had 191 posts when I 'abandoned' it and this one has like 142 already O.O I intend it to last till the last of my ISB years! O: how will I survive. I already want to create a new blog O: although IDK about the URL. www.sweetintoxicated.blogspot.com? LOL. ;D or www.teamaresiempre.blogspot.com LOL it means 'I will always love you'. Te amaré siempre. In Spanish, duh. But then nobody will remember my URL. It looks like tea mare siempre. O.o

I always thought that if Ping Ghee and I merged accounts we could name it sweet-intoxxiqated. ;DD Hmmm. Thinking of names is fun. Thinking of cool names is a mean feat. I came up with this one in the middle of a particularly boring maths sabbatical and drew it all over my -ahem- notes. ;DD

About School

2008-09-19T04:18:00.000-07:00

I have decided to give an update about the classes I have.

Pd 1- Maths 8, Mr Huttner, A.
So far we're at Unit 2-6 of Algebra. It's quite manageable. Every period we just sit down, exchange homework to grade, then start on a new topic, and we're assigned our homework for the new topic. It's a routine I've become used to. It's a great way to spend the lesson. Starting on a new topic involves Mr Huttner explaining the basics, then giving examples and either calling people to solve them, or asking all of us to solve them- in which case he goes around to each desk and corrects us.

Pd 2- Science 8, Mr Huttner, A-.
So far we're learning Rocks & Minerals. Our test is next Friday. We've learnt chromatography and fingerprints already- both as part of a Forensic Science unit. Science is also quite manageable. Nowadays we're doing labs on identifying minerals. My lab partner's Amy. :D

Pd 3- Publications, Dr. Everett, A+.
This is a fun class. It's slacky, with the understanding that you're allowed to do whatever you want as long as you know that you're responsible for your own grade at the end of the day. Some people can be jealous at the amount of articles *some* people (:/) have published, but it's really just down to the fact that if *they* stopped playing computer games during lessons they could get an A+ too. It's not like we don't have the time to achieve it. Quarter's not over yet and I've already written -and published- 20 articles. We have slightly over a hundred in total. Check out the LITM link to read the articles!

Pd 4- Dance- Intro to Modern/Jazz, Ms Price, A.
We just had our performance during the assembly today! The energy was so contagious as we rehearsed and then squirmed in our seats while waiting for our turn. In dance, we do warm-ups (a dance), stretches (including 40 crunches!), and finally, practising a dance- which we finally performed today. It's called the Yes/No dance, and it's kind of like a combo of hip hop and modern dance. It's so cool- tiring but fun.

Pd 5- PE, Mr Vaughan, no grade (yay).
That's Mr Von for you, not Vog-an, like I originally thought. LOL! PE is ok as long as we don't have to run a mile, which we do once a week. I've already improved on my timing but it's like hell :/ When we're not running we do basketball, except today was supposed to be the last lesson before we embark on team handball.

Pd 6- Spanish 1 (Espanol Uno), Senor Ethridge, A+.
This is the awesomenest class that ever existed.
End of story.

Pd 7- Humanities Language Arts, Mr Kenney, A.
Slightly boring, but liveable, and the activities we do are interesting enough. Yes, I know, I appear to be contradictory. But go through the lessons yourself and you'll understand. ;D

Pd 8- Humanities Social Studies, Mr Kenney, A-.
We're doing Economy now. Most recently, Essential Questions, which are like questions with no definite yes-no answer. Or something like that. Mine was, Does conforming affect our ability to form our own opinions and stick to them?
;D

Oh my, a long post. O.O

Yellow Ribbon Project

2008-09-19T04:16:00.000-07:00

THE YELLOW RIBBON PROJECT! Find out more.

I find it heartbreakingly meaningful and am glad my mother donated money last Sunday when we visited Singapore. I have the yellow ribbon with me now. It's really sad how society discriminates against ex-convicts who are, really, just people who have made mistakes, just like all of us have. The Yellow Ribbon Project's tagline really pulls at your heart-strings: Help unlock the second prison. It's hard to realize that even when some are let out of physical prison they're still in emotional prison hell, because their family and friends might not let them back into their lives.

NEW BS! :D

2008-09-18T02:28:00.002-07:00

firstly, I'd like to say:
THIS IS NOT A NAVIGATIONAL SKIN!

that aside, hope you like it, cos I do :DD
it's already up on BS; I just decided to change my skin and was too lazy to create a new one, so taadaa!

hilary duff's wake up is heart-ed! I thought the version playing was cool and wondered why there was like this man's voice going on at the same time, then I played around with the windows and discovered the man's voice was coming from an ad on myflashfetish O.o

LOL

:D isn't the iPod cute? they have an iPod Touch player too but this one's nicer :D

TAG LAH :D

lol, now most of my posts have like two GRACEY sign-offs O:

buhbye!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence

You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convincing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

This is like, insulting, lol:

You Are 52% Interesting

You are a fairly interesting person. Many people find you to be intriguing.
You have a dynamic, adventurous life... a life that others envy.

You are genuinely interested in and open to the world.
You love making new friends, and you're always up for an unusual experience.

Like everyone else, you can get a bit boring from time to time. That's normal.
But unlike everyone else, you can pull yourself out of a rut. You don't stay boring for long.

Are You Boring or Interesting?

Cool, halfpoint O:

You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it!

How Weird Are You?

Your French Name is:

Destinee Evrard

What's" Your French Name?

IKNEWIT LOL :D:

You Are An Intro-Extrovert!

Sometimes you're social - sometimes you're shy
You've got a bit of an Introvert / Extrovert split going on
You enjoy all sorts of situations. Parties, small groups, and alone time.
Too much of one, and you'll long for the other. You need variety!
Chances are, you've got both serious and fun friends - and they don't get along.

Are You An Extroverted or Introverted Girl?

Maths- A. This is a slight improvement, but I'm not too sure about the number grade.
Science- A-. Damn. The A eludes me still!
Publications- A+, 100. Nothing I can do about it.
Dance- A, 94. NOTHING I CAN DO TO RAISE IT! ARGH! It's been 94 for AGES.
Lang Arts- A, 96. WHAT DOES AN A+ TAKE?? D: I want an A+ in LA so.
Social studies- A-. Dang. D: The A eludes me too. For science and social studies. (alliteration!)

Thankfully we don't have a grade for PE, or I'd be like a C or D. Or F. O.o MSG 3.880! WHOOHOO! 0.0- I mean, 0.120 to a perfect MSG! work harder, Grace! :D

today during publications, which is a quarter class, my friend was like SHE'S WRITTEN ENOUGH TO COVER A YEAR. then I said, not a year, maybe a semester; cos for semester to get A+ you must write 18. and I'm like, I haven't even written 18. then I counted.

oh, 19.

LOL!

fanfiction here I come!
I tell you I'm mixed up with all my eriks and christines (yes, I ONLY read E/C PotO fanfics; they're the best and they're the whole point of PotO fanfics). there's erik lavonne and christine daae, the ORIGINAL love of music pair who first got me hooked anyway, so kudos, they're the sweet pair; there's erik saint-michel and christine dickerson, who're the drama but damn loving pair in lessons of love; there's erik everard and christine dailey in heal my heart who're also drama but damn loving (cos it's the same author LOL); and finally there's.. there's.. OH DAMN WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES. erik something and christine decker. OH YAH, NEUVELLE or something. they're cool ^-^ they're from.. time for love.

^-^
yes, I've finished all those fanfics. top would be lessons for love tied with love of music, followed by heal my heart, then time for love. :D

AND POTO IS AS GOOD AS EVER (:

35 minutes to tuition, I'll just relax and read PotO fan fictions. you know what, the sad thing about them, is that they always leave me daydreamy and wishing that there were more nice guys in the world.

oh, there are nice guys, but they don't talk much.

sneak peek

2008-09-09T21:43:00.000-07:00

@ the story I'm writing! progress is currently limited; words are crawling. I'm stuck at 4 pages. ah well. main character is kate sinombre, (sinombre is a word I coined from the spanish term for 'no name') and she lives in tejer, a place which is famous for weaving, and which is going through political turmoil, as it subtly overtakes delabraume. also vital to the story plot is guezon, a group which fights for the freedom of delabraume.

first paragraph:

The girl sat at her window sill, hugging her knees to her chest and tracing
a heart on the frosted window. Snowflakes slowly drifted past her gaze,
falling ever so gently to join the white, unblemished blanket that covered
the pavements. Curfew time had fallen. The evening sky was slowly
darkening, and lights around Tejer were flicking on as people sat down to
their looms and began their work in a fluid, almost simultaneous motion.

something from the next few pages:

Kate had never known her real parents. She had been found, bundled in a thin,
grey material, coughing from the harsh cold winds of a Tejer winter, at the foot
of a government building, where the young Señor Blanco, fresh from his days in
an English university, had found her, and brought her home to his delighted
Spanish wife, who had been longing for a child for years, to no avail. Kate
loved the couple she called her parents, but sometimes when she was alone she
would rest her hands on the loom gently and think about the man and woman who
had brought her to this world. Were they from Tejer? And why –the unsaid
question burned Kate’s tongue and heart- why had she been abandoned?

The heart she had traced an eternity ago on the window had been filled up and erased from its easel. Kate got up, abandoning the work she had been doing, and sat on the windowsill again, as she tended to do whenever thoughts of her real parents occurred. Gently and quietly she retraced the heart, and thought, Do they love me? She shook her head violently to get rid of the ugly thought. It felt like
black ink –negro, the colour of the Guezón’s heart, the colour of their
intentions, the colour her papá’s face got when the Guezón troubled him- seeping
through the pristine white snow, disturbing her.

how is it? :D
♥GRACIE!
