Long time no post people xD

Ok. Some funny incidents that happened in the period of non-posting.

During LA it was SUPER HILARIOUS.

We were supposed to do this essay thingo... with each sentence from one person in the class. Mr Kaw gave us the starting sentence.

"It was a day I would never forget."

Ok. Then start continuing the story.

Clarissa: "I woke up at 6am."(by far the lamest sentence... LOL)

Then go into flashback. Couldn't remember what Bernice and Cecilia wrote.

Jermaine: "It was the day when I banged into a rubbish bin."

Ok. Maybe that wasn't exactly what she wrote. But the meaning is the same xD

Then talk about rainy day, in shopping mall, forgot to bring umbrella...

Then have to chiong(don't worry we didn't use that in the compo!!)back.

Then see a...

a...

a...

a...

a...

a...

a...

a

a

a

a

a

...FLYING DUSTBIN OF DOOM!!!

Then see umbrella. Pink and Hello Kitty one. Guess why xD

Then run to void deck. Then dustbin disappear cos they can't stay in dry places xD

Then void deck start leaking.

Dustbin come out again

Charmaine: "I screamed, and they screamed back at me."

LOL.

Then there was this bit when they broke into song I think xD

Then Jin Cheng wanted to end the thingo by saying that it's a dream or something and everyone was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" HAHA.

Then...

The last person was Stella.

Stella: "The end...to be continued"

Cos we haven't ended the story yet.

HAHAHA

109's an imaginative class!

HAHAHA

We are imaginative people! We daydream a lot!

Okok.

Shan't be too “班恋" over here LOL.

So that was the really funny LA lesson.

Hmm. What else.

Oh ya. Our culture lesson teacher switched back to ji lao shi.

And you know how she explain to us?

***

o.0 I just found out there's this monster in maple story called STUMPY!

Ashley...

OMG I really don't want Ashley associated with it :/ it's damn ugly.

***

"另外一个老师,因为有另外另外一个老师,生病了,所以另外一个老师去帮忙代另外另外一个老师的课。"

LOL.

We were like, laughing xD

Ok. That's about all?

Yeah that's about all :/

Then today was CROSS COUNTRY

At Mac Richie :/

3.2km. Can die one.

Luckily I'm still alive and well (: or else this post would be super freaky man.

Then I walked half of the distance. Pro right xD

There are some very what teachers along the run.

Example.

***

I shall censor this so that I won't attract unwanted trouble since there's a high chance of the person I'm talking about knowing my blog address.

Oh and in the morning I took the bus with cao lao shi.

She very lonely sitting there cos no one wanted to sit with a teacher LOL.

Then finally got this person wearing NY T-shirt go sit next to her. Then she started talking xD

I wasn't mean enough to eavesdrop. And I can't even if I wanted to. Inside the bus is like, what, 比沙丁鱼还沙丁鱼.

Packed worse than a can of sardines :/

852 is rickety.

Ok.

After the run I didn't get to drink the packer drink.

LIWEI!!! YOU OWE ME HALF OF THE PACKET!!!

xD

Nvmnvm

Haha

Then the black trash bag was so filled with bags that we couldn't even tie it up :/

And then the valuables bag is also used to put skirts.

We managed to stuff 2 skirts into a super small plastic bag:D

And the plastic bag used to put valuables 彻底完蛋.

2 gigantic rips.

Luckily Clarissa brought extra.

YAY to Clarissa!!xD

Then run start. I'm supposed to run with Clarissa but I lagged behind. The "undulating land" is hard to beat.

Then end up I was with Bernice and Weiyu.

Then I lagged behind and lost them.

Then I overtook Bernice. Weiyu was like far in front.

So me and Bernice ran together.

Then lalala, reach.

Then go KAP with Shi Chen, Li Wei, Yuan Mei, Joyce.

Then Clarissa, Cecilia were already there.

Then more people started coming xD

Very fun time in KAP.

Shi Chen kept on singing those super high notes in KAP.

-.-

I dripped apple pie onto my skirt :/

Hope can wash off lah.

:/

Then third lang.

I almost fell asleep in class and spent the whole of break sleeping.

:/

Ok.

That's all for today.

Byebye!xD

Oh and...HAPPY BIRTHDAY CECILIA!!!

Not sure whether you'll read this though :/

Paiseh forgot to wish you happy birthday during class and french. Was too wrapped up in... uh.... something... HAHA.

heart blue w/ glitter 7:31 PM


Lalala!

Left HMP now.

><

I shall blog about the blocks. Don't mind if there's any repeats(:

Monday, there's History and LA.

Both sucked.

And the two invigilators(ji lao shi and chen lao shi) were pretty freaky.

Ji lao shi invigilated the history paper.

She was looking at my answer -.-

Maybe she wasn't. Anyway whenever she walked past me I paused ><

Then she go that time I start again.

And the sound of her high heels can be quite irritating.

Chen lao shi was much worse. She kept going to the back where I was sitting and reading the newspapers strewn at the sushi bar at the back of the classroom.

So throughout the whole paper except some bits I could hear newspaper rustling loud and clear while trying to figure out the guy's character and how effective the ending was. -.-

Ok that was monday.

Tuesday. Geog and HCL.

HCL first. Invigilated by Mdm Yick.

Not so bad, she didn't walk around so much during the exam.

But after the exam she told us to sit properly next time.

And after HCL I could hardly open my fingers.

That was how much my hand hurt.

And my butt was numb from sitting on one of the folds of my skirt :/

Well that's probably the aftermath of a long paper.

But I remember during the FMPS math paper which was 2h 15min, my hands didn't hurt so much. Maybe I didn't need to write so much then.

I kinda think I screwed my chang wen suo duan.

Just got this feeling.

Then after HCL was Geog.

Ji lao shi.

This time she walked around a LOT and the sound of her high heels really irked me. Couldn't really concentrate :/

And there was one instance it was SUPER embarrassing and 尴尬.

I had to look at the clock halfway through the paper because my watch is not accurate and I don't know to how many minutes. I didn't realise ji lao shi was at my table there.

Then I looked up to see the clock.

Instead I saw her face blocking the clock.

That moment was SO 尴尬.

So I leaned to the right to let her know that I'm looking at the clock.

WTH.

><

End up I was so shocked for like five minutes or so.

Maybe that's why I couldn't finish checking the paper. I left two words haven't finished writing when she said pens down. So I quickly steal the two words :/

Now I feel a bit ><

Because it might, just might be considered cheating. So my marks I won't get it 甘心-ly.

><

Knowing myself I'd 愧疚 for a super long time, based on past experience. I'm still emoing about that incident.

Ok. On to today.

Math.

Totally sucked.

I don't know how to do the last question ><

The dots and lines one.

I used the cheat method for the drawing bit.

I just counted the number of dots I added, cos I know it should be 15 based on the pattern.

Then just anyhow add, add until look somewhat like the previous diagrams.

For the formula thingo I think I'm dead.

It's something to do with the Guass Formula, I'm totally sure. But at that point I had brain block and COULDN'T REMEMBER THE FORMULA.

End up I die for that question.

><

And I got bonus question wrong too.

Because I'm like super careless. Didn't see the qn correctly. Should be $z MORE, not $z per hectare.

><


So here's the sad story of my block tests.

One more on Friday. HMP.

I'm so going to die.

I still have trouble following the scores ><

Especially for those fast string quatet/orchestra one.

><

Argh.

I'm so going to be dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead.

Oh yeah I haven't done FPS yet.

><

Screw it.

Gtg dinner. Byebye people(:(wow the only smiley face in this post!xD)

OHMYGOD.

HOW UNLUCKY CAN A PERSON BE?!

Ok. *Deep breath*

*Calms down*

Ok.



Blocks today: History and LA.

I screwed both.

For history...

The stuff I 辛辛苦苦 go bei DID NOT come out.

Instead the stuff I DID NOT BEI came out.

So you got how perfectly pathetic I was in the exam.

I totally forgot about oracle bones :/

There was this question about how Shang kings go and predict the future.

I put by observing nature, oracle bones and astrology.

I think the last one's wrong. But they DID have astrology in ancient china. Not sure when it actually started though. But period of Warring States got le:/

I hope I elaborated enough.

AND JI LAO SHI TOTALLY FREAKED US OUT DURING AND AFTER THE EXAM OK.

She was like walking around the classroom LOOKING AT OUR ANSWERS.

Like give people some peace while doing their papers can or not -.-

And AFTER THE EXAM.

SHE WENT TO DROP A BOMBSHELL ON OUR ALREADY DEAD BRAINS.

SHE SAID THAT 4 MARK QUESTIONS NEED 2 POINTS.

WALAO.

LIDDAT EVERYONE DEAD LE. WE ALL USE MR MAC'S WAY TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS YOU KNOW!!!!!

><

Deaddeaddeaddeaddeaddead.

R.I.P.

No should be R.I.T.

Rest In Turmoil.

Rest In Troubles.

Ripped in Turmoil.

Ripped in Troubles.

-.-



Ok on to LA.

VERY .

I DIDN'T FINISH THE PAPER.

AND I DIDN'T WRITE CONCLUSION.

I was crapping and crapping for the last question. Then I HAD ONE MORE POINT TO WRITE ><

Then I had to quickly stop because there's no more time.

I'M SO SCREWED I DIDN'T WRITE CONCLUSION.

And chen lao shi also very freaky ok.

I'm sitting at the back and she kept on walking to the back to read newspaper. -.-

AHHHH

THIS TIME I'M SO DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD><

LA.

我发誓今生今世我跟你势不两立。

Ok.

Jiayous for geog and chinese tomorrow.

I bet I'm gonna be dead.

Howcome this term so unlucky can.

Hellos people xD

Crystal's at my house now.

She woke me up from my afternoon nap.

Actually it's when I fall asleep on my bed.

And I missed da chang jin D:

Lala.

Okok. How long have I not blogged.

Anyways these three days got some fun stuff!

Ok.

Wednesday

Ok. This day I'm super pissed with our relief PE teacher.

She came in during LA I think and said there's no PE, no need change.

So everyone happily went for break.

Then turns out there WAS PE, but no need to run.

-.- Next time instructions clearer can or not -.-

Diao.

And well during LA we were doing this Jamacian English explanation. It's so super fun xD

Hello, yu still wid me?

Haha.

Lala.

So that was LA lah.

I can't remember anything else on wednesday :/

Oh ya third lang!

So fun xD

We were doing fruits. She gave us stuff to sniff then she ask us what fruit it is. And we were supposed to say what Ca sent (fruit name).

So fun

And we learnt that "pineapple" in french is "un ananas" pronounced as ah-na-na

And me and cecilia were going like, "anananananananananana~~~" during break

LOL.

IT'S THE CUTEST WORD BY FAR xD

Then french passed very quickly and it's the first time I wasn't sleepy during French xD

Ok.

Then chionged bio when I got home. The petition came out damn funny xD

I shall post it here.

Dear Mr Brain aka my DEAR boss,


I’m the nucleus. Do you still remember me, this poor, round, thing sitting in the cytoplasm? I bet you’ve forgotten me, you’re so busy everyday. Well I’ve now written this letter, to 1) Let you remember me again and 2) Raise my salary which is super low compared to the other employees in my sub-company such as the mitochondria. Oh yes, as my dear postman is keeping track for me, this is the 123545th letter I’m sending you via Spinal Post, with the absolutely the same contents except the counter.

First, I have to tell you that running a cell is seriously not easy. I am producing enzymes every half second to tell my employees what to do. They’re not slackers, yes, but they are seriously stupid. I need to draw up every step for them! So you should get how tired I am now, what’s more with that teensy salary you’re giving me daily. How can you expect a poor, over-worked nucleus survive on that little bit of energy you spare me with every day? Think about it, boss.

Boss, you might think that a nucleus is all about swimming around happily in the cytoplasm, lazing around and sending random enzymes messages? You are certainly, absolutely, totally, and most of all, absurdly wrong. For your information, I control the mitosis of the cell also, which as your super intelligence should be able to infer that, it is vital for growth. That means making you, my boss, become bigger and more intelligent. And IF I die, and worst of all out of exhaustion, there would be NO MORE ADDING TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE. So, boss, my dear, intelligent boss with enough discretion (I hope), please raise my salary!

Oh yes, those are just the two major functions I carry out. There are more! Boss, let me list it all down to you! Then I would trust it to your intelligence to figure this out.

Here goes:

1.Site of transcription
2.Regulates metabolism
3.Organise genes into chromosomes for mitosis
4.Transport regulatory factors and gene products via nuclear pores
5.Produce ribosomes
6.Organise the uncoiling of DNA to replicate key genes
7.Contains proteins that make up, well, a lot of stuff and it’s too long to list it here
8.Regulates production of enzymes
9.Contains genetic material

Nine functions in total.

Boss, just LOOK at the number of tasks I have to do! Oh yes, I will attach a picture of the current me with the letter. Do get shocked when you see it. Finally, boss, PLEASE BE REASONABLE AND RAISE MY SALARY!!

Thank you,

The Nucleus

P.S. Sorry for the capital letters, I was so sleepy I mixed up shift with caps lock.
P.P.S Sorry sorry boss, I can’t seem to find a recent candid photo of myself. I’m going to ask the Spinal Postman to tell you how I look like then.

Lala it's a bit retarded.

Haha.

Moving on!

Thursday

Chinese lesson was a hit xD

Well the lesson material was boring.

And shi chen was like, going, like, "wow~~~... weee~~~~ wooo~~~~" during the lesson and she's sitting beside me. So I ended up laughing during the lesson and I was like right in front of ji lao shi. -.-

And then we were supposed to do some retarded worksheet. On wan qing yuan. Of couse we all silently complain lah. Supposed to copy to microsoft word and do and end up cannot highlight from the web. So we all printed. AND END UP THERE'S NO BLACK AND WHITE PRINTER INSIDE LAB 2. -.-

So paid extra.

AND THEN THE PRINTER KENNA JAM HALFWAY LOL.

But I printed my copy already so nevermind lol.

And then the com lag lag de.

And I was like gesturing furiously at the computer. And ji lao shi halfway through a sentence was like, "干吗?". So I damn 够呛. Lol. Then I was like, 没事没事+ rapid hand movements.

Diao.

Then doing doing doing. One of the questions the answer cannot be found on the website lah. So me and shi chen went to baidu to find -.-

Then end of the lesson she gave 苦差事 to jermaine: call up the website manager and ask them to change. GOOD LUCK JERMAINE lol.

Hahaha.

Oh ya and when I was doing my worksheet right

I turn and ask shichen a question(pestering her in fact).

Then turn back.

And found myself looking at ji lao shi who was reading my answer on the worksheet.

Then I was like, "Whoa" very loudly.

And she actually laughed. -.-

FREAKY.

It's damn freaky for a teacher to sneak up on you. I mean they're supposed to be 光明正大 right? End up so 鬼鬼祟祟 for what.

Ok no offence.

The other fun lesson is LA haha.

We were supposed to...

1)Make a singlish dictionary
2)Make a chat speak dictionary
3)Make a teen-lingo dictionary

AND THE CHOCOLATE RULE IS LIFTED FOR THE WHOLE LESSON!~~~

SHUANG.

So everyone was like sprouting chinese, singlish, and even FRENCH...

I was being extra by telling him that niece in french is "捏死".

Haha.

We found some really funny stuff.

Like there's this singlish word called "Ngeow" which sounds so like "Nigel". And Mr Kaw's full name is Nigel Kaw. LOL. Means "cat" in hokkien or something HA.

A fitting pair! Mr Kaw loves cats o.0

Once a kitten ran over his keyboard and instead of "12." he typed "12ff" during the scarlet ibis comprehension. HAHA.

Oh and the meaning is "Someone who is overly meticulous, nit-picky or tries to find fault." Sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlish_vocabulary.

FITS HIM!!!

HAHA.

Well he hates Hello Kitty though haha.

Ok that was LA.

Then geog. There was an OPEN-BOOK ASSESSMENT.

Which I went siao.

Really!

And I a bit 本末倒置.

4 mark description question I wrote around 8-10 lines.

3 mark analysis questions I wrote like ONE FULL PAGE OK.

I even went to talk about the industrial revolution like wth.

-.-

Then everyone said I went siao. And I really DID go siao.

Skip skip skip.

Xiaozu!

Laoshi was being nice by letting me and Keng Fang eat cos we both didn't eat lunch.

xD

My 音色 was better after I've eaten LOL.

And then we talked more than practise. And it was damn sick, some of the chats. I shan't reveal them here.

Then laoshi was doing 循环换气 for us. And OMG he held for like FIVE MINUTES PLUS!!!

OMG.

Pro siah.

Actually he breathes with his nose then come out via his mouth. Keng Fang doesn't believe it -.- trombonists do it also what -.-

Oh ya and on thurs morning there was a RAINBOW over school!

I shall post the pics later since I'm charging my phone now.

PRETTY~~~

Really lorh, that time was history, Mr Mac not there, we were like -ing in the classroom. Then everyone went out to see the rainbow xD

Haha xD

Les arcs en ciel!

And oh there were like TWO!

One was very faint larh.


Friday

I've suddenly realised that I can't remember any of the Fairfield hymns. Except the school hymn and Over the Mountains and the Sea.

:/

Eeek.

Oh ya and Amazing Grace.

I once almost cried over it.

And everything's going against me today.

Geog. I have to reorganise the whole file and correction tape the entire content page.

Chinese. I bet I absolutely SCREWED that yi lun wen.

Break. Was standing outside the staff room for ages waiting for ji lao shi -.- some yellow shirt guy was talking to her.

HMP. I can't remember anything from the video.

LA. Nothing, except the fact I almost fell asleep during lesson.

Lunch. Whiled the time away.

Math. KENNA CALLED BY MS TENG TO GO UP AND PRESENT MY SOLUTION AGAIN--WHICH WAS WRONG. I saw the qn wrongly -.- and some more I WAS THE ONLY ONE TO BE CALLED UP AGAIN. Wth. And I forgot to buy the stupid math notebook again. I've been surviving on the small half page I've got left for 2 weeks already.

CCT. The only not unlucky period today.

Then went to the library with shi chen. End up I forgot to bring my library book -.-"

Then I waited for the bus until like 3.40+

Then I was reading on the bus until I wanna vomit le :/

Then I read again at home

And fell asleep on the book

When I woke up it was already around 5pm

And then I got 2 hours of piano

And dizi chang yin.

Piano not much success :/ Except I learnt the first page of the Haydn piece, with slow playing? And suddenly my trill doesn't work.

Dizi is the worst lorh. End up my chang yin hasn't improved NOT EVEN A TEENSY BIT after swimming 5 laps in the swimming pool(mind you it's the longest I've ever done) during the weekend. :/ I think it's even shorter than last time.

T_T

Then I just remembered that bio RAFT is due on thurs and I haven't even researched on the thing yet.

And OHMYGAWD I have the WHOLE HMP SIA due on week 10. Including music analysis.

1 concert journal and 3 listening journals and 1 music analysis. Oh and one more 1000-word research paper which I haven't started on yet.

Talking about research. I still have the chinese SIA presentation thingo to work on. And I have absolutely NO IDEA on what to present on.

I feel very pathetic :/

And I screwed the geo properties quiz today. I didn't get to finish the questions.

1 MORE QUESTION.

It's so much easier to just vandalise on the diagram itself and drawing arrows.

And oh I've got around 4 marks minused already lo. Congratulations.



Ok. Shan't be too zi4 lian2 here.

I think I shall talk about the yi lun wen.

I think mine is just shi li and not much yi lun. And the organisation is crap.

And shi chen says that organisation is the most important thing in a yi lun wen. :/

I'm gonna fail for this.

Like, seriously fail.

I think that dream about qing compo might come true on that yi lun wen.

:/

Ahwell.

Lets search for something funny that happened today.

Oh ya.

Today during yi lun wen(again), someone not from our class was like, screaming something like OHMYGOD like right outside our window.

Even ji lao shi looked up and her expression was damn funny.

And FYI it's damn hard to make her look up from her work even if there's a whole noisy class bustering outside the classroom, from past experience during zuowens and li jie.

Ok. Skip on to LA.

MR KAW DOES NOT OBEY HIS CHOCOLATE RULE AT ALL. TODAY HE SPOKE FRENCH LIKE FOR THE DUNNO HOW MANYTH TIME IN LA LESSON.

He was like, "Le stump." and the "le" is obviously french. By the way he's talking about Ashley (no offence, Ashley xD). And he calls Ashley "Stumpy" during LA lessons.

Global tales is boring. I can't bear to look at it.

And it's very clean you know.

Haha.

^^

Ok suddenly I feel better.

Gosh I have such mood swings.

Gtg gotta do my maths! Byebye!

Wow. It's currently 11.23pm.

AND I'VE FINISHED MY LA PATCHWORK 4!!!!

Shall post it here cos I too happy le xD

Contrasts



The hacker crouched, hidden in a corner of the room. He looked around the room. All clear. He stood silently. Time was ripe for revenge. He went to the main computer beeping in the room, transmitting and receiving electronic messages sent by the NeuroBrain owners. He walked to the computer, and tapped on the keys fervently. Once in, he inserted a program code into the computer’s base code system. He smiled to himself, a smile of victory.

***


Saphira strolled down the streets in the 2030 A.D. city. The wondrous sights of floating Zephyrs did not disturb her; neither did the towering skyscrapers, nor the fantastic neon displays that dominated the cityscape. She did not care, as she was not a part of this world, just because she did not own a NeuroBrain, an electronic brain that enabled you to gain abilities beyond the reaches of a normal human. Owning a NeuroBrain was an identity, proof that you are from this age. She could only stay as a mere clerk in the NeuroTech company because of that mere reason, but she was more knowledgeable on the inside workings of the NeuroBrain than the person who designed it.

She walked past a giant plasma television display. The newscaster was commenting on the NeuroBrain. “A NeuroBrain, aside from providing you with super intelligence, lets you communicate telepathically. All of them are linked, so you can share absolutely everything with other people. It’s the greatest breakthrough of modern age!” The newscaster spoke enthusiastically. Saphira grinned to herself, wondering if he had written all those pretty words by himself.

She looked down at her shoes. It was of a 2007 Nike model. She was not proud of it – it was considered as a total antique in the city. Nevertheless it was the only pair of shoes she had. A man walked past her, and pushed her out of the way. She looked at him, and got a shock. The man’s eyes were blank, like those of a wax figure. Then she noticed that everyone’s moments were synchronized, even their breathing. All that unnerved her. Something was definitely wrong.

As she walked on she noticed many unusual sights. She knew that a virus was injected into the NeuroBrain, and it was controlling the people’s actions, having read about the brain itself through the years. She tried to ignore the signs. After all she had no feeling for this city, even though she had lived there for half her life. She never loved the cityscape; she never loved the citizens. They were hostile to her. She did not belong there.

Gradually she realized that she was the only one with in the city with a mind of their own. She had never thought about it before, but now she was the only one to…save the world? Even the thought of it sounded ridiculous. She seemed so small, so insignificant. What could she do? She did not even know where he was!

Never mind where he was! Saphira knew if she went to the control tower of the NeuroTech Company she can get everything back to normal by reversing the code the hacker had placed in the Main Computer. The police could do the rest.

She ran to the control tower of the NeuroTech Company. As a clerk in the NeuroTech Company, she had access to all the rooms. She walked boldly up to the now intimidating office building of NeuroTech Company, scanned her retina, and went into the office building.

Nothing blocked her way, yet she knew she was being watched. Security cameras were everywhere in the office building, to prevent workers from stealing valuable parts from the factory. The NeuroBrain users had lost all thought of moral values through the years, and there was no doubt that the NeuroBrain itself was causing the damage. Saphira smiled sadly, and continued down the deserted hallway.

She reached the control room. Something was amiss. No beeping sound came from the computer locked within the steel doors. She took a deep breath and placed her finger on the touch pad. The door clicked open.

She did not see anyone in the room. She walked to the computer tapped on the keys. A series of codes flashed up the screen. She had to find the harmful one, delete it and replace it with the correct one. Too absorbed with her task, she did not notice a black figure rising from the floor. It was not until she heard a hoarse cough that she whirled around, alarmed. From the poor lighting, she could just make out a black figure, and that he was a man, a teenager no older than her. She could not see his face in detail, but she could tell that his face was finely crafted, as if shaped by a sculptor out of stone. His face was indeed like a block of stone – cold, emotionless. There was an odd gleam in his deep blue eyes. He spoke.

“So, you’re the person without the NeuroBrain, aren’t you?” He asked. His eyes belied his curiosity. He moved towards her. Saphira was not sure if he was as scared of her as she was scared of him. She could hear his laboured breathing clearly.

Saphira plucked up the courage to ask him, “Why would you want to do this? You’re destroying all of mankind!” He laughed a bitter laugh that echoed through the room. Then Saphira saw something gleaming in his eyes, shining in the light from the screen of the computer. She knew that it was not the usual twinkle that any living creature had in their eyes. It was tears. He started recounting his story, and it came out like water rushing out of a broken dam.

“I was born, by parents whom I never knew. You see, I was abandoned since young. My parents regarded blue eyes as “a sign of the demons”, and thus abandoned me in a rubbish dump. I didn’t know how I survived. The only thing I knew was that I didn’t have a NeuroBrain installed. I never bothered to register for one, and never could. Then I came to this blasted city, seeking for a better life.” He glanced out of the window with hatred and revulsion. “I was not accepted by anyone, as they all had a NeuroBrain and in some way, ‘superior’ to me. I was bullied for fifteen years. The most common thing I heard them saying to me was that I was not human.”

A maniacal grin spread across his finely carved features, contorting it and making it look grotesque. He looked back at Saphira and continued his story. “Oh yes, girl, I am not human. I am beyond any human that was ever created! Look what I did to them, they who bullied me for fifteen years! I controlled them! Never thought that there would be this day, huh?” He shouted to the streets through the open window. A mad laugh escaped him.

Saphira was stunned. This person standing right in front of her was of the same plight as her. Abandoned, lost, lonely, looked down upon, pride trampled beneath high-tech shoes. Those feelings and experiences were familiar; they were a part of her life, her history. Her past whirled before her eyes, images from her past that sickened her. The flow was endless, and she could not stem it. She felt pity for this stranger standing in front of her. She could just walk away now, and not care, and she would live a better life. An argument raged silently within her, threatening to tear her apart.

An angry roar broke her thoughts. The person suddenly pounced on her. He missed, and went right out of the window. Falling through the swirling mist, he screamed, “I am beyond…” He did not have time to finish his sentence before crashing to the ground a hundred meters below. His last shout echoed though the narrow alleyways, a shadow, telling of a man’s tragic story and, with it, the true face of this age of prosperity.

Saphira stared at the open window. She did not dare look down, fearing what she would see. She sighed, and went to the computer. She found the code and removed it.

She wondered if she had done the right thing. Giving back the people’s minds would thrust her back into the world of discrimination she had known the moment she was born. She made a mighty effort to pull herself away from those thoughts. Even though if she sealed her fate with this, the people she was saving was her kind, even if they did not treat her so. She felt no regret in doing this.

Just then, the computer regained its steady beeping sound. For an unknown reason, she felt an infinite sadness originating from deep within her.

A crystalline tear rolled down her cheek.


YAY :D It's 1483 words long!

Oh yeah and last night I had a very very freaky dream.

About the qing compo, can you believe that? And it's not a good one.

I dreamt that I got back my qing compo. And then the ping yu was(translated) something like, events not powerful enough, doesn't give the reader a deep enough ying xiang...

Then ji lao shi was there also(wth why she always appear one -.-). She was like so damn disappointed and I remembered her saying 你到底怎么搞的 in my dream.

Freaky.

And then the marks was also super horrible. I remembered seeing a 28/70 on the paper.

@_@

I seriously hope this dream doesn't come true ><

Or else I'm so dead.

Even if my parents and ji lao shi don't murder me I think I'll commit suicide if I get that kind of mark.

I'm serious ><

Bleah.

Why can't I have better dreams that I can remember instead of horrible dreams that I ALWAYS remember? I can't remember the good times yet I can let myself stay in the bad times.

-.-"

Okok. Chuck that commit suicide thingo.

Maybe I won't be so extreme.

><

Ok.

Feel better after posting that freaky freaky dream.

Byebye people(:

heart blue w/ glitter 3:30 PM


You know, now I feel very lucky(:

The qing compo I've(and the rest of 109) got the whole holiday to do it and some people needs to chiong it out.

The chinese SIA I've got A1 while some people got very close to A1.

I've found my book Eldest.

I've finished my LA scenario writing except for cutting down on the number of words.

Mr Kaw lost my crappy essay and I ended up redoing a better one.

I'm drinking coke now.

Now it's only 3pm and I've only got geog and LA to do.

There's no school tomorrow and I can finally sit down and revise.

I've finished the xiao ke.

I've got a cut on my arm and I didn't know how I got it.

There's 6A'07 chalet in DECEMBER:D

I've got shi bing tu ji to watch when I'm bored.



Lala!

Sorry if I've offended anyone(:

I definitely feel very lucky now xD

But a lucky person still has headaches D:

Over LA.


Everything has 2 sides(:

Perspective and attitude are linked.


And right now I want to rest a bit, watch shi bing tu ji xD

Lazy bum ain't I.

But you need a rest after completing a 1800-word LA essay! Before headaching over it to edit it of course.

YOUTHDAYFUNFAIR!!!

So fun!

I totally HAVE to blog about today!

Well I reached sch at the usual time wearing class tee. Hehs. Then Liwei also wore class tee! Hahaha. Momo was the only one who did not wear class tee. She wore the camp tee HAHAHA. LOL.

The funfair did not start very smoothly... we had a series of problems...

Then shichen me and xinyi went to buy ice for the ice boxes. At the 7-11 near NY. Feel very weird going out of the school during school hours without teacher's consent :/

Man the ice was... COLD.

Ok. That was extra.

Anyway we made it back there in time. Then I had to carry Qianyi's yogurt to the canteen. Then had to lump the ice in. Then music start le ma, no time to chunk the ice into little bits and dump them inside, so me and hilary just dumped the whole huge chunk above the ice boxes. Have to say thank you to a 209 senior who helped(: I dunno her name. Haha. Then had to rush to quadrangle just when music going to end. WHEW we made it there before national anthem started. When I reached the row ji lao shi was like surveying my class tee(as you know me and shichen were the ones who forced her to wear class tee). She didn't scold hehheh LOL.

*The language of the post isn't very alive here, because the author had just woken up from a deep sleep since 4.15pm.*

She didn't even book me as late. HAH.

I was all sweaty. And the class tee isn't too helpful in absorbing sweat. It sticks to you.

And ji lao shi complained wrongly about the hugeness of the class tee. It fitted her just alright. BUT SHE ISN'T WEARING SKIRT. Nevermind.

She looked nice in it(:

Then after national anthem me xinyi clarissa rushed to take care of the ice.

Have to thank that senior again(: we were using qianyi's blue ice to chunk the ice into bits cos we did not have any scissors or something.

And someone in my class forgot to bring the ice box.

So me and xinyi ran around looking for ice boxes or styrofoam boxes.

End up borrowed from 1/13 which was right beside our class. -.-"

THANK YOU 1/13:D

Then went to buy coupons and found out that I've only got 5 dollars. -.-"

Spent it on bubbletea, pizza bread, and the other 1 dollar forgot where I spent it on.

Ahwells.

Feel very paiseh for people I qian-ed to go to their stall and buy.

><

Then Fennie was like, WHY YOU RUN AWAY FROM NYCO PERFORMANCE?!?!?!

Lol.

Then yixuan liwei xinyi and me were playing this retarded game of trying to touch each other's foreheads. LOL.

Then debrief in the hall.

But JI LAO SHI WON FOR THE TEACHERS' FASHION ROJAK!! LOL.

I think arh no one else wanna waste coupon on teachers except our class :/

She helped us to get our mian zi back LOL.

Then I was like, 石琛!!!是你要跟她说话的啦!!! Ok that wasn't exactly what I said, but nevermind. Then shichen was asking her where she bought her korean costume. -.-"

Then go home, I came home then I was sleeping like a pig until 6.15pm. 2 hours. Wow.

I'm crying over you
It's like I've lost my soul
No I can't let go
It's in my very soul

When I walk past you
In a crowded place
You saw me, I know
Yet you never notice

I wrote a thousand letters
All addressed to you
Decorated with a thousand pink hearts
Yet they never reached you

You never noticed
Did you? Don't lie
However hard I tried
Yet you just took it in your stride

One phrase is all I need
Something really simple
And that phrase is all I seek
That day did not come

Oh it's time for me to tell
That phrase that was kept for long
That phrase that had given me hell
Speak it to me and I'll be gone

That phrase is, love,
"You were something in my eyes"
That is all I desire
Of you, my peace dove


Ok that was seriously emo. Go guess the meaning for youself!:D

Lala. About today.

PE was hell. Ran like, SIX rounds in total ok.

My poor knee. It hurt this morning until I almost couldn't get onto the bus. My right knee almost gave way.

Hahahaha

Oh and today morning we were chionging the math SIA until ji lao shi appeared.

Then we quickily packed up and entered the classroom after her.

She was wearing this black shirt with satin sleeves. Wow. -.-" Show off. LOL. Jkjk.

Okok. So math was slack.

Then break ate lunch during break. The sushi almost made me vomit but I guess it's because I'm already bloated cos of the beef don. :/

Then was HMP.

FOR THE MODULATIONS THINGO I ONLY GOT LIKE 18/30.

AND ONE QUESTIONS FROM AUGMENTED 4TH I GO COUNT UNTIL DIMINISHED 4TH. -.-"

-.-"

Dun dwell on that le larh.

Then after lunch was chinese!<3

Haha.

And for the FIRST TIME I felt sleepy in chinese class. Towards the end of the lesson. 'Cause yi lun wen is just too dry and ji lao shi was like recapping on what we've learnt for the past few lessons on yi lun wen. Which I've like memorised already. -.-"

And ZOMG we're going to write our first yi lun wen next week! D:

I have to look for stuff to write man.

About ou xiang again.

-.-"

You know I think our class a bit different leh. I asked mo(from 107, dun worry it's just her nickname) and she said that they did si han on 自我介绍 and another zuowen on 我的偶像.

Their zuowens are so much slacker man.

-.-"

Like ZOMG.

WE DOING YI LUN WEN THEY DOING XIE REN DE JI XU WEN.

-.-"

Walao.

And you know it's damn retarded.

During the lesson the powerpoint was talking about what 释迦摩尼, pronounced as "shi1 jia1 mo2 ni2" as one of the 事例.

Which is the same prnounciation as my name.

Wth. People were laughing there.

And ji lao shi was like, 你们这个都能扯到一块儿啊.

I guess she's a buddist. LOL.

Hahaha!

NOT FUNNY.

Even though I was laughing silently for some reason.

After that was class contact. Briefing on what to expect if you're a PSL.

Eh I dunno whether I wanna be or not.

As a PSL LESSONS ARE MISSED OK.

SO NOT THAT AFFORDABLE.

><

T_T

Not sure larh.

D:

Lala.

Okok.

After that was CIP!!!

Pre-performance nerves. And I know I've not mastered liang xiao yet, what do you expect, me only getting the score for like THREE DAYS and shichen jincheng sining getting their score like A MONTH PLUS AGO?!?!

Haiz.

END UP DIZI COVERED LIKE ALL THE 3 ERHUS.

And I blowed lousily.

Missed a lot of notes.

And can hear the old people talking talking down there.

T_T

SORRY SHICHEN, JINCHENG, SINING!!!!! D;

T_T

No breath also.

I swear I'll swim every week and run in the morning for all weekends.

O:

ANYTHING TO IMPROVE ON MY QI.

T_T

D:D:D:D:D:

Okok.

Then on the bus to meiling centre we were playing bomb.

Minghui go bomb ji lao shi.

And you know what ji lao shi said?

"谁在bomb我啊?"

Minghui cum cum. LOL.

Nah she didn't scold.

NO FUN DE.

Then on the bus trip back we were like, 1/9 BOMB, 1/9 BOMB, 1/9 BOMB TO JI LAO SHI BOMB!!!

Then ji lao shi replied, in ENGLISH,

"1/9 should bomb to 1/10 not to me!"

LOL.

没劲儿

Well she bombed to 1/10 in the end(we had some 1/10 students with us to do CIP also)

But 1/10 never reply. So bad de:D

Haha.

Ok that's about all for today. I feel like it so I shall write another emo passage in CHINESE THIS TIME!

Hahaha!

Ok here goes!

他看了我一下,在那同时,我也看了他一眼。我们四目相对。我的心,想触了电一样,突突突跳了起来。他的眼光充满了。。。我无法形容他的眼神里透露着什么,但更无法形容那时的感觉。大概是快乐吧,但快乐中夹带着一些伤感。说不上来那伤感是从哪儿来的。可能是从我和他永远也不能在一起的缘故吧。可是,在那刹那,我注视着他的眼光时,那几秒钟是幸福的,一天中最幸福的时候!

Go guess the meaning! Hahaha.

Ok. AH STILL GOT MATHS. GTG NOW BYEBYE!:D
