phy s in 10minutes' time. dunman hostel annual dinner (stupid, stupid!) in one and a half hours' time. mum's birthday in three days' time.
today: pe in the morning.. the previous leg ache has only recovered last nite, now i'm painfully greeted by a new one as a result of this morning's 2.64k. sighz. why pe can't be painless??
fm test: quite confidence can get q1 and q2 right, buttttt bloody q3, it was a standard question but i couldn't reduce the matrixx... graphic calc, which usually does the job for me, is practically dysfunctional this time coz the matrix involves sum bloody variable :( so sad so sad.
but anyway. was decently happy for the last stats test. so i earn my share of bleach this week yeah.. yay. later.

once upon a day, a friend asked,"what does it mean when a girl gives a guy chocolate?"i dunno why, but it redefines the whole meaning of the word torn for me.don't want to talk about it much, though, so anyway; let's move on to happier things.. like how ALL OF YOU PEOPLE SHOULD GO WATCH
THE ISLAND!!!! it's one helluva good movie! but really, my potterified mind (still halfway through
half-blood prince by now) is not in a very positive state. so this should be all.
happy mugging, all Year Twos! my classmate's msn nick shows it's 43more days to prelims, sorry to remind.

blood donation in school today.
for the first time in my life i actually
wanted to go donate my blood.
so after lunch, i enthu-ly went to the hall to register myself as blood donor.
filled in the super-long-long form.
queued to see the doc.. only to be told that i could only donate on 1st august.
which is exactly three weeks after my fever went away.
haih. just when i have the drive, higher authorities don't let me go and do it.

movies watched in the month of july:war of the worldstom cruise is really cute! hmm, despite short; but sher will find this trait of him appealing even more ;p
anyway. he's a supposedly bad father in the movie, get divorced with his wife, leaving two kids-a daughter and an older son- in the mother's care. the son grew up disliking him, while i suppose the daughter was too young to feel hatred towards her daddy. there were certain scenes where it was shown that the daughter felt closer to her brother instead of her daddy; and such scenes kind of break my heart.. coz.. dunno, can't imagine when i grow up having kids next time knowing that they opt for someone else but me; while i'm their flesh and blood. can't imagine tom cruise's feeling as a daddy, too.
surprisingly enough, what caught me about this movie is the message displayed about family ties instead of the special effects of the movie. but since most people will expect me to talk about the special effects as well (hey after all it's spielberg's movie..), i think the effect was.. hmm, okay lah. average. spielberg-ish. it looks natural, not fake, but there's nothing impressive. except that, like sher, i kinda agree of how they visualize aliens.. sticky thing with realllyyy thin limbs and big heads. higher intelligent beings are supposed to look like these! yeah spielberg rocks after all.
don't really like the ending, coz it was said that the big, spider-like killing machines that were supposed to exterminate human beings "went out of control" by itself without real cause; it was later told that they had no immunity against bacteria on Earth which had evolved and had not been expected by the martians. weird ending. no victory no losing--actually there was hardly any war to begin with.
by the way, tom cruise is still a bad father at the end.
batman beginsexpected this movie to be a darn good one, and yupp it is! the movie began with baffling scene of bruce wayne being a prisoner. me and er were wondering "eh why is he in prison?". the way the scenes move back and forth from the wayne's prisoner days and childhood days were rather confusing, but it was all revealed by the time the movie reaching mid-point, so it was okay.
bruce wayne i.e. batman is cool. he's got no superpower, no superman/spiderman/x-men kind of ability. he's just a man who trained a lot and a scientist who knows how to make full use of technology and human resources he have; thus he could become a batman with all the cool gadgets. could become a hero. hmmm.. hardwork pays off, doesn't it?
the hunk is handsome, too :D er and i were drooling over him throughout the movie!
anyway, can't say much except that i recommend everybody to go catch it if you havent done so!
on a 'deeper' note, it really sets me thinkin. you know sometimes, people do things that aren't right, aren't fair to others but think that certain justifications could actually make it fair? after watching this movie, i am more inclined to think that there's actually
no way one could make such things justified. selfish is selfish, no matter how much you coat it with sugar-sweet reasonings.
fantastic fouri don't really like the movie... hmm..
except that i love some of the lines featured in its radio trailers, such as:
1. dr. doom: let's not fight.
invisible woman: no. let's.
2. human torch: maybe this is some kind of higher calling.
mr.fantastic: like, getting girls and making money??
human torch: is there any higher?
3. invisible woman: look at me.
mr.fantastic: i can't.
4. human torch: now picture this... everywhere!
character i like best: ben a.k.a. the thing. because he's such a sad character with lotsa controversy. like being left by his wife because he turned rocky-ish and ugly. like being trapped by dr.doom into thinking that his friendship with mr.fantastic is bullshit. like being able to pull himself together, sacrifice his perfect life as ben to turn to become the thing again to save mr.fantastic. he's the most real character; most confused.. i mean nobody is actually as idealistic as mr.fantastic, as self-denying as invisible woman or as gamesome and as into merry-making as human torch? okay there is laa, but not most ppl?

finally hostel comp doesn't refuse when i typed in
www.blogger.com...
apologies for the long break of entry yeah folks.. let's do some flashback again (it's getting frequent nowadays!)
thursday, july 7, 2005went to school feeling happy coz i did most of my work.. hmm, except phy S, but that can be settled after school. had our veryyy first PE lesson after the holidays, ran 4 rounds around the track.. wasn't timed or anything, so it wasn't tiring; just ran at our own pace.
after school, stayed in library with pat, sw and yy doing work. hey i could finish my phy s questions in two hours. that was quite 'something' for me :) though some of it turned out to be wrong lol. but the doing was mentally super tiring; i slept right after my dinner.
in the middle of the night.. everything's dark; lights off, fungus's sleeping, all i heard was the blades of the fan moving. i was awake, then something started me coughing. and coughing again. and again. this continued for sometime, and i could only lie on the bed, eyes wide awake, throat burning, and rather gasping for air. it looked like the coughing's got something to do with my lungs, because i couldn't seem to breathe properly. i coughed again. i remembered coughing myself back to sleep..
friday, july 8, 2005woke up with a spinning head, but decided i couldn't just skip school because i had a headache. i went to the bathroom, washed myself, said goodbye to fungus. after bathing, i went to iron my uniform, but felt as if the world outside my room was totally different from the one inside my room. walking to the common toilet (where the ironing board stands) was a chore.. my head was spinning.. stars everywhere. so i went back to my room, sat on my bed and thought, heck with school, i should just sleep. so i did. with wet hair.
at 12pm, i woke up. wondering how come i didn't feel hungry despite no breakfast. checked my phone.. 4 messages received. two from classmates and two from sher and er. the latter asked wheter i was keen on watching
batman begins. i was! i totally was! so, despite my headache, which didn't feel as bad as in the morning by then, i went off to cineleisure, caught the movie (will talk about the movie itself later), came back for dinner, which i didn't eat. i still had no appetite by then. went to comp lab. couldn't take it after about an hour, so i went back to my room, to rest. coughing started again. messaged fungus.. 'porridge please.. for my dinner'.. she said okay, so i just waited on my bed. tried to sleep but couldn't. i felt my body temperature soaring high, tried to reach my thermometer but couldn't, coz i need to climb on a chair to get it. just lied on the bed, body covered with my blanket (for those who knows how i sleep, they'll know i don't usually use blanket).. fungus came with porridge--she was shocked seeing me sick. said she had never seen me lookin that sick. anyway. ate my porridge and tried to sleep.
saturday, july 9, 2005woke up feeling okay except for the headache. lunch was porridge again, coz throat was still not up to harder food. by 5 pm, i thought i was solid... remind me not to think next time, because i actually wasn't okay at all. went to bugis with er and sher for dinner, ate swensens' baked rice and chocolate ice-cream. real yummy, but when one's sick, those food will make him sicker.
so i came back feeling sick once again. curled up on my bed with the blanket once again. coughed again. headache again. everything came back. temperature soaring high one more time.
fungus buggin me to go see doctor about my prolonged coughing (it's been more than a month), so i said yea i'll go on sunday, at which she sternly replied that i've been saying i wanted to go see doctor since a month ago. so i'd better be true to my words this time around, yeah? haha my roommate knows how to get me do things!
sunday, july 10, 2005saw the sissy doctor in tang's clinic. give me loads and loads of drugs.. i gotta take, like 7 pills after every meal? as usual, i'm not happy. i hate taking drugs, it makes me feel dependent on dead things. (which is actually the same as dependent on coffee or smoking, but dependent on medicine has a disgusting, sickly sound to it, i guess..). got a two-day med-certificate, and a one-week off-pe.
tuesday, july 12, 2005GOOD CHARLOTTE: NOISE TO THE WORLD CONCERT
8.00pm
Kallang Indoor Stadium
went there with EH and YH. will blog about it later. that's about the only highlight of the day.
wednesday, july 13, 2005watched
fantastic four with er and sf after school. asih and nadya tagged along, too. will blog about the movie later.
saturday, july 16, 2005hey i'm one of the first in this WHOLE WORLD who owns
harry potter and the half-blood prince. and the paper bag with the book cover printed on it, too! of course, i opt for the kiddy, UK version as usual. heard that the US-version was sold for ten bucks more expensive. and i saw a coloured version of it. wow. the business's getting real good for jk rowling. the book was of 607 pages, 159pages thinner than the previous book. was an applaudable move, because i heard most friends' opinions saying that
order of phoenix was way too thick and too tiring to read. yupp. aha, and i'm looking forward for
harry potter and the goblet of fire: the movie, too, which should be released soon. i've seen its posters around (without date of release, though) cinemas, and i seriously hope it'll live up to expectation, unlike
prisoner of azkaban, the book of which is my favourite, but movie of which is a flop. anyway. haven't started half-blood prince, coz i need to study.. erm, thermochem. i wanna proove myself that even chemistry is doable for me if i study for it. so yeahs..

i had a very weird dream last night. weird, but nice :) i think it has something to do with one of my best friends's presence here in singapore, because everything was pretty and peaceful... hmm, just like last time?
won't share it here, though, coz some people don't like to know what others' dreams are like :p
besides, i'm too lazy to type... what with this hammering headache (coz it feels like someone hitting hammer to my head) since i woke up from that dream. and the sore throat. damnnnn i know this is a sign.. the last time i fell sick, these were the symptoms.. :(
to sher and er: yea yea i'm a slacker la...
but to jack: no no i'm a mugger..
actually i'm just one confused person.
btw: i've just seen some photos on friendster.. new ones.. and it made me feel happy :p photos of an old friend, that is.

sucky sucky my exam results are sucky.
ta-daaaa, in descending order.
maths 67
physics 55
fmaths 31 (and you'll think that it'd be the lowest i could hit, but...)
chem 28
of course my chem is lower than my fmaths! since when it'll ever be higher? chem, no matter what, is difficult. so is mechanics.
if i ever said my maths is 70+ or my physics is 60+, guess what, that was a bluff! teehee. that's why.. don't push me la.. i'll say if i want to say..
Hmm.. so i suppose it'd be B, C, F, F?
2Fs, 2As, must be seeing principal already lah. nevermind. maybe could give me some push. i need a drive.
but
die die i'm not dropping fmaths ya. hey it's not my worst subject, so i drop for what? and the chem tutor is a bit against me dropping chem. so... nah, not dropping whatever p/vp/ct/friends say.
stubborn me?
but i guess i need this failure. i somehow have it in me that without failures, i will never learn; i will keep thinking "can chiong", i will keep slackin, i will think that someday i'll master mechanics or stuff but it isn't like that. hmmmm.. been foolin myself? yeah maybe.. but it's not too late to change, rite? i have two whole months before prelims. and four whole months before the real 'A's.
okey! i can do this! i can do this! i can do this!
hmmm.. how about no "bleach" unless i get above 70% for a test? yupp that shall be the way..
