"Wish that you could but you ain't gonna own me."
~Natasha Bedingfield- Pocketful of Sunshine

currently my favourite song.
thought it was a nothing much.
but today threw that thought out of the window.
own me and I'll never have to leave.
doesn't feel right this far.

teachers' day celebrations were kind of boring in school.
ended way early.
couldn't figure if maybe the teachers were supposed to perform like they did last year.
it rained so we ended at like 10+
reached phpps super early.
only the rg ch6-ers were there.
so anyway, the HCI ch6-ers came next.
zheng xuan, ivan, yang yi! kevin, tian jie and and. oh no. memory's failing me.
yeah, they came after brendan.
then christine and the nygh people came.
awesome :D
we talked and did lame stuff.
saw only huang lau shi :D
mrs han has early retirement.
mrs lee left early D:
yeah, then decided for forever.
then decided to go west mall and eat and bowl.
the ching yun and cherie joined us.
was a little awkward at first.
(guess why)
but ended up pretty much ignoring, which was weird.
but heck.
then we ate together(:
just realised how much I miss the company of primary school mates.
they're so different, so homely- somehow, somewhat.
the guys are so different from others.
it's like there's nothing (much) left unknown between.
yeah. gosh, like the brothers I never had.
rah, stupid, I'm comparing.
but between us girls, there's a difference in culture that now kinds of separate us,
which is sad.
but then that's a mediocre problem for now(:

yeah, continuing.
right, we didnt go bowling after all!
-.-
we took forever again to decide what we should do next.
ended up watching Wall-E!
was alright I guess.
as I've said 9843274 times, it has its subtle messages.
and the robots are darn cute(:
coudnt stand them at first though =x
Eve is designed by the guy who designed ipod, did you know that!
no wonder she looks so sleek.
oh yeah, Yang Yi was the only guy who watched the movie with us.
ahhahahahaha.
then, it pretty much came to an end.
most left but a few went to ping zheng's house.
played with her so very amusing dog and watched batman -.-
hahahaa.
moral of today-
don't forget how much you miss your primary school mates.
they beat everyone else out there.
I think(:
ahhahaha.

ohhh, Yang Yi.
I love the duck.
so you'd better take good care of it okay!
(it's been with me for 2 months. was waiting to find a person worthy to give it to. be flattered! LOL )

doesn't feel right this far.

HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY YANG YI!
Love you to bits and pieces.
haha. I'll always be there for you for a listening ear whatsoever.
but I doubt I'll ever find that story not amusing.
<33

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY KENNETH!

hence I shall dedicate this post to Kenneth(:
first things first.
we don't know each other quite so well, in the sense that we can complete each other's sentences.
but hopefully, what I know of you so far is right.
so anyway, Kenneth's reallyreally nice.
I think he's sincere about his opinions and that, mind you, is something uncommon nowadays.
he's one of the humblest guys I know. breaks the trend of egoistical freaks from let's see, ____.
In the 9 months I've known him, I can't deny that I've gotten pissed with him before.
HEH.
for his erm, mannerism.
but then again, I don't really know much about it, do I.
I'll have to keep this short.
so, I'll get straight to the point.
I like talking to Kenneth a helluva lot :D
[that is, when we have something to talk about. ha.ha.]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY<33

"Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."
~Helen Keller

what is there in life that we can't count as an adventure?
so what's an adventure?
I'll say an adventure is a challenge which brings you on a journey of a life time.
and, it's one you can't deny.
------------------------------------------------
hey there.
sorry about inconsistent blogging recently.
shall be more regular once erm, this busy week is over.
I mean a week from now.
I've got history SA and English oral on Monday.
then, English PT due Wednesday.
Monday's totally booked D:
SA, oral, PT discussion, tuition.
*gasps*
focus, Elaine, focus.
darn, why's it always so easy for me to plan to focus but so difficult to achieve it?

I just realised that I like making advertisements, or at least coming up with ideas for ads(:
I cant link something to so many things and do it subtly and stuff.
but I can figure out the link when the picture is given to me.
am I making sense? =x
in short, I can connect concepts, but can't work from backwards, which is link clues to the concepts.
yeahhhh.
making ads is crazy satisfying.
at least thinking of ideas for it is(:

Lit seminar tomorrow!
hhrrrmmpphhs Selene.
I wonder if I'll be late.
wahhahahahahahahahh.
I can't think of anything interesting to say!
everything this week hasn't been even close to exceptionally interesting D:
oh wait, I know!
sitting next to Joie is super fun :D
she's crazier than me! :D
everytime she's high, she go
"ELAINE! WHY YOU SO HIGH??"
rah. haven't thought of a good way to reply that.
some help please?
ahhahahahaha.
and when she's high, she speak weird.
let me give you an example:
"[ELAINE!] YOU SHORT TERM MEMORY VERY GOOD!"
or,
"I THINK YOU NEED TO CHARGE YOUR BRAIN... IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING."
funny right!
both said withing a span of 2 minutes I think.

oh, there's another time Mr Lau came into class and I kept looking at his nails and couldn't help whispering to Joie:
"Why is Mr Lau's fingernails so shiny?!"
when he was giving out worksheets to us, which means he's standing right in front of me.
I didn't allow Joie to ask at first la!
so she didnt.
then later she said:
"Mr Lau, Elaine has a question to ask you."
then he started going on about his theory about people saying that another person has a question when actually the person himself is the one asking the question.
then Joie said:
"BUT IT's ELAINE's QUESTION!"
hahaha. you should have seen his reaction.
so anyway,
I ducked my head. and Joie said:
"Why(cue giggle)are(giggle)your(giggle)finger(giggle)nails(giggle)so..SHINY?"
okay, not exactly giggling.
Joie doesn't giggle.
she laughs out loud.
so it was much funnier.
shall quote the entire gist of his answer:

"I DON'T BUFF IT! (we don't quite believe!) You're not the first person to ask me and will not be the last person to. I know my nails make a lot of females jealous [cue put hands into pockets] but it's really genetic. I know its long and nicely -shaped and shiny (whoa, who said anything about that?) but I DON'T BUFF IT. It's genetic....."

I happen to think it's hilarious.
as in, him knowing that he has nice nails.
seriously, he shows it off in class D:
so anyway, I'm not jealous, fyi, just curious.
and lanqiao wouldn't let me off about my curiosity.
hmm, come to think of it, WE know who's more attracted to his nails, don't we?

so anyway, Joie, you're (so) funny.
and I know I'll enjoy sitting next to you :D

there's nothing I want more.

"Your fringe is very cute!"
~as said by Sophia, the tenth million time I'm hearing that (or something like that)

rah! I have super short fringe! (not that short, silly.)
Jing Han even said I look like a dolly now.
okay, let me explain why my fringe is cut so unusually short this time.
when my fringe was being cut, I was looking up and if you try that, you'd realise the your eyebrows move up as your eyeballs do!
amazing right! (yeah right.)
okay, so that's how th estimation of the length if my fringe was done wrongly.
ahha. when I explained that to people who commented, they burst out into a hissy fit of giggles.
hissy, cuz I don't get what's so funny =x
heeehee.
i'm fine with it, though I very much prefer me pre-cut bangs!(:

Is Ryan Lochte really gay?
I like him!
ohhh noooo!
Shirlyn and I are grieving over that(if it's true).
and we're coming up with really strange thoughts,
especially cuz he's a world-class swimmer.
try linking swimmer with guy with gay, then you'll know what I mean.
rahh. oh wells, I guess Phelps is still the model one way or the other.

"OHMYTIAN nonono that's so sick!!!! goshzxzxzxzx yarh lorh! hahahahah eeeeeee yuck gross haha ahhh wad a pity! why is he gayzxzxzxzx!!"
~Shirlyn

rah! we still don't know for (very) sure.
but! D:
hmm. I like Eamon Sullivan better now.
and the world knows he's not gay for sure :D
all hopes on Phelps to get his eighth gold!
and we're all super proud of the table tennis players of Singapore.
(guess why.)
for forty-eight dry years on barren ground,
a seedling has finally fought it's way to the top!
who wouldn't be jumping with joy?
:D:D:D:D:D

hmmm, now on to something less optimistic.
my diarrhoea hasn't fully recovered D:
it sucks big time.
like food restrictions and trips to the toilet.
I can only eat plain bread, porridge and drink milo and water ONLY. ONLY!!
I watched my family eating PIZZA HUT for dinner. LOOKED!!
it's just torturous.
JUST.
darnit.
D:
rah. at least i'm gonna eat cake when I recover(:
who doesn't know I'm a sucker for good cake?
nothing beats an awesome cake.
chocolate doesn't even come close.
oh wait, I think think of one thing which I'm not positively sure about though.
fabulous sex.
think about that!

"Your eyes are the brightest of all colours"
~Boys Like Girls [Thunder]

firstly,
CONGRATS to BERN YAU and JASLYN!
they won the elections for Hadley vice-caps `09!
(:
and Wenyuan, will still always be there for you alright!
though you didn't win.
you guys are the bomb <3!

watched The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor Movie
with Alisa (again. haha) after school today.
never did I expect myself to ever watch this movie.
but, against my predictability, I did!
ahhahah.
it was 90% like the other two movies!
like the plot, how the conflict is started, and how the conflict is solved.
yeapppp.
in one of the previous mummies, the entire evil group of troops disappeared without a trace just when the good side is losing the battle.
& it happened in this movie all over again -.-
like dejavu, except predictable would be a more suitable word in this case.
really, from beginning to end.
I think the only thing changed is the son being all grown up.
he was so adorable when he was still tiny!
I remember him still small and huggable and wham! he suddenly grew up, all but huggable.
haha! yeah, so anyway, it's also very Hollywood.
the stunts, plot everything.
but still, for relac watching, it's quite alright(:
pretty much worth the money for me(:
Borders tomorrow Alisa!
wooohooo.

yours truly admits watching far too much of the Olympics for my own good.
it's like one after the other, so how am I supposed to stop?!
haahahha.
I like watching male gymnastics MOST!
they're too amazing.
Horton's my favourite! :D

rah. hate having diarrhea D:
going to the doctor's after dinner.
seeya(:

and it's dejavu, I can't stop thinking about you.
even I know I've lost you, almost to forever.
that, was the first time I fell in love.
too fast, too hard.

"I am never afraid of what I know."

got my black beauty 04/08/08!(:
homygosh. why do I sound so corny?!
hah. anyway, it's gonna be my partner for the next 4 years at least.
loves it to pieces.
//till death do us apart!
hahahahha(:
yesssss! I love my darlinggg 980(:

okay.
besides my phone<33.
went out with Alisa like almost everyday the last week?
(cca days included since we have cca together outside of school?)
yeap!
i remember Wednesday best(:
after we came back from the NE aviation trip(which was amazingly interesting, fun and eye-opening), we went to like Starbucks which was opposite far east around there at 5.30+ to study MOV.
was so productive, truth be told, if I didn't open the book after revising with her, it would not have made a difference to my performance in the quiz at all.
yeah, most of the questions that came out we had went through them with emphasis.
like how I remembered about 'men at their death bed have great _______'
(or sth like that)
so I tested Alisa that and she could not remember the word.
so I was telling her about how I remember the word by this man at his deathbed and then suddenly a light bulb above his head lights up.
yeah, the word is inspirations by the way(:

ohhh. which reminds me, I just recently found at that i love coffee especially mocha fraps after Alisa has been dragging me off to Starbucks like at least 2-3 times the past few weeks(:
butbut. tcc's coffee's still better(:

hmmmm. natl' day eve.
went out with Alisa (again) to Plaza Sing.
was overall amusing/intellectual/nutsy.
yeah. Alisa can spend 98475 hours in one shop.
jeez.
practically had to beg her to gooooo!
ahhaha. spent at least 30 minutes in Sembawang looking for nothing.
oh, which reminds me, Alisa Toh bought an ipod shuffle eventhough she already has a nano.
yes, there IS something wrong with this girl.
she's spoilt and she knows it and is proud of it?
okay I don't know about the last part. but she doesn't seem to mind.
(I told you she's weird that way)
hahaha.
which is why she's so erm, strange!
hahahah.
sorry Alisa.
oh yeah, we spent like 3 hours at PS Starbucks mugging.
and I kept staring at soem guy wearing a beanie and drawing.
he's fascinating.
takes 2 hours to draw one cartoon character.
(but then again, I can't even draw one nicely =x)
mmmhmmm.

yaye Olympics!
two words-
highly addictive.
yeah, it's just one after another and another.
never stops.
SYNCHRO DIVING WAS THE BOMB!
and there's fencing on 5 tonight.
might watch if i'm done revising.
D:

rah. math, chinese, geog tomorrow.
3 in 1.
never liked that combination.
but oh wells, I'll bring myself to like it for once.
wish yours truly a helluva lot of luck.

you're a challenge I'm never gonna stop taking.

WHY?
there's always more to me then what I show.
what is obvious to you, is just not to me.
and you say you want me to talk, to tell.
but when I do, you're not listening.
I'll come back when you start listening.
I hate you.

BREAKING DAWN IS OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!

guess we all know what that means to me right?
I SIMPLY CAN'T WAIT.
I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN/JACOB BLACK!! (:

ps. Alisa, please remember to bring those books to lend(:
pss. gonna camp out at Borders! <33

"About Three Things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him-
and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-
that thirsted for my blood.

And the third, I ~~was~~ am unconditionally and irrevocably
in love with him."
~Twilight<33

I re-read Twilight.
It's just too bittersweet.
for if love a pure would be, I'd have died and gone to heaven.
I want an Edward Cullen.

rahhhh! Melee's TODAY!
missed them D:
oh wells, Melee's the greatest British rock band ever <33
if you get me their merchandise/autograph, I'd be eternally grateful.
Melee FTW!

I shall blog about yesterday.
had PFT.
but I stopped doing at like first of 5 stations:
sit-ups D:
did 2 and started to have this slight aching feeling at the base of my shoulder blades.
then after 15, the pain became a sharp, sudden one.
then I just stopped cuz it was really uncomfortable and strange; but a good sign.
Mrs Anis forbid me to continue D:
pfffft. wasted!
like the last time of mass-retake.
I had like MC for the last few and now I can take, I can't take.
which means, I have to take myself again.
hmmm, always had a problem with sit-ups but not this bad.
my mom was super upset when I told her.
we spent a bomb trying to stabalise/cure my scoliosis problem.
ohh wellls.

hmm. talking to Alisa makes me feel erm, small?
I shan't use demoralising words on myself =x
yeah, she may only be able to talk describe _____ as 'hot'.
but then, when she speaks of lit, I'd go omfg! what on earth are you talking about?!
yeahhhh.
and when she talks about beauty stuff, (*&^%$#^%$#%@
okay, but the latter is no big deal.
I'm lazy to wash my face sometimes, not to talk about using lip exfoliator!-.-
hahaha. but if you start talking science, it's an entirely different matter (:
one, which by the way, I'm proud of.

started watching The O.C again.
as in, continuing.
me still thinks Seth and Summer cutest couple ever! :D

Edward Cullen<33!
