Eneeli will...

1) Upload badly taken photos of licensed2play event
2) Do something about new links and the newly-formed class blog
3) Bitch on everything bothersome prior to the vacation break >_<
4) R&R (Rant & Rave) about Japanese Cultural Club Camp (Rocks!) =DDD

...As soon as she gets back from the Photography Club Camp.

I must be sub-consciously masochistic.
To not take precautions and think VERY carefully before I take action.

For briefly losing my composure knowing full well others don't tolerate out-of-stereotype behaviour
For not being cautious enough before taking the stage (Coz no one will point out your mistakes beforehand)
For being unprepared despite knowing how difficult it would be ahead

For joining another CCA when I already have more than a handful (Quite Literally)
For actually daring to still contemplate yet ANOTHER CCA

Thank whoever's-up-there for A good listening ear.

This is the first time I'm absent from school this year. Thanks to a particularly nasty bout of the flu bug. It had been passing around my class (I think) for the past week.

Usually getting to take a day off equates to a relaxing day spent idling at home. Usually.

This time, it was 24 hours spent semi-dazed with constant bodyache and a near-inability to swallow. Ugh.

But at least the doctor was funny. The moment I entered the room. he started on a frazzled spiel about the flu being so troublesome, how busy he is now because of it, asshat patients who refused to go a hospital when they should, etc...

LOL.

I found it pretty amusing.
Then he told me point-blank that I am short.

(And thus can pass off as someone under 16 so I could be sent to KK Hospital should the fever not subside)

>_<

Anyway if my limbs cease feeling jellified, I might return to school this afternoon. I do want a CCA (or a few) after all.



*edited

I didn't go to school after all. Darn. How do you sign up for CCAs after the CCA Open House now? >_<

So basically Life is there, thus shit happens. When Shit happens, someone has to bear it as "The One". Unlike Mr (Neo) Anderson of The Matrix, this reality of "The One" doesn't come fully equip with downloadable knowledge and a wracked-up sense of reality warping. Nor the natural sense of cool (with the LEATHER clothing and whatnot). Nor the simple violent approach of dealing with just about anything. Nor the sylph-like femme fatale love interest. Nor the unthrillingly-cool mentor with the rock-solid, almost blind faith. Nor a motherly seer of the straightforward tellings and the home-made cookies (NOT fortune cookies by the way). ...The best part is that while Neo gets a lot of shit thrown into his life all of a sudden, he also gets to dish it out in generous proportions to said givers in the first place. Lucky dude.

...Ok. So maybe I shouldn't watch EVERY Channel 5 re-run of the Matrix after all. While I'm momentarily fixated on it, the FanGeek Effect is starting to wear off. I used to watch the action scenes with mouth agape and eyes unblinking (thoroughout, mind), during which the only thing I thought about was how AWESOME it was.

But having seen the older Chinese movies of the martial-arts-cum-madcap-comedy genre, Neo suddenly doesn't seem so cool after all.



To those who actually find that cool.

Puh-leeze.

Watch this Jackie Chan compilation instead. It's pratically a whole world of AWESOME up.


I haven't the faintest idea why I'm even mentioning this when I should be finishing up the rest of my event drafts. Damnit.

I Got Tagged!...

I got tagged by: Rosanna~!

Remove 1 question from below, and add in your personal question.
Make it a total of 20 questions, then tag the people in your list.
List them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged. Whoever does the tag will have blessings from all.

1) Have you given your first kiss away?
*Is lost in reverie* Yeah...It was an unforgettable afternoon, nearly six years ago. It was a simple fall, but with much consequence...I lost my first kiss to...

The concrete floor of Mayflower Primary's amphitheatre. I broke half a front tooth damnit! And then lived on watery porridge for the following week after. >_<

2) Spoilt?
Kinda. Some of the loose screws up here has completely fallen out. Replacements anyone? XD

3) Where is the place that you want to go the most?
Dreamland? My own definitive Dreamland, that is.
But Japan comes to a close second. =)

4) If you can have one dream to come true, what would it be?
It would be for Life's major knots and little kinks work themselves out with little effort. A little extra (say...360GB more) of memory space would help a lot too.

5) Do you believe in seeing a rainbow after the rain?
Figuratively...No.
Like duh. People who believe/promote that have obviously never been in any serious hardship before.

6) Who/What are you afraid to lose the most now?
My Mum.
The ability to Change as I will. Change is only good if it can be controlled.

7) If you win $1 million, what would you do?
70% - Savings (Inclusive of Family)
5% - Chosen Charity
10% - Investments
5% - Buying Stuff

Well, logically it should be like that.


8) If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
Hell no. Unless it's one of those desperate cliche romance novel situations where he/she is going away for good/dying/starting anew. Then I MAY consider confession.

9) List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
Meticulous, Herself?...Erm...Mindful of $$$?

10) What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
....Y'know, I can create another Tagged! Questionaire from this one alone.
Well, I'll start with the basics.
MUST BE:
- A Non-Smoker !!!
- A Non-Alcoholic !!!
- Open-Minded (Willing to try new things & not judge by stereotype)
- Understanding (Willing to accept the unconventional)
- Patient (Coz I'll still be PMS-ing/tempremental for many years to come)
- Loyal/Faithful/Trustworthy
- Honest (Frankly, I'm more at home with brutally blunt than little white lies & half-truths to "make people happy". Though a person using the pretext of being blunt to insult people...IS UNFORGIVABLE.)

And so on and so forth. Actually, the 2nd and 3rd points must prove a tad difficult to find around here. I have my doubts as to whether there are people out there with all the said qualities though.

11) Which type of person do you hate the most?
Even though it's "The Most"...It still covers a lotta ground.
- Hypocrites. Especially though who act "guai" in front of others and try to play the victim whenever they get into a conflict.
- Backstabbers. An evolved form of Hypocrites.
- Superficial People. I don't mean the vain ones. They irk me occasionally. But what really brings out the murderous impluses are those who judge others based on demeanor and surface appearence. Just because a person hadn't done anything to you doesn't mean she/he hadn't/wouldn't done anything to others. Just because a person acts like she/he is pure of heart doesn't mean she/he is. And just because someone had made mistakes before, it doesn't mean he/she deserves to be condemned in future cases.

12) What is your ambition?
Undecided. I'm still analysing which ambition has the most potential/attainable.

13) If you have faults, would you rather the people around you point out to you or would you rather they keep quiet?
Hmm...Considering the circumstances, I'd rather most people keep mum. Because I can't be entirely sure what they say is free of malice/spite. But for certain people, I'd rather they tell me point-blank. At least these can be trusted on what they say.

14) If you could change the world (or at least do something about it), what would you do?
- BAN SMOKING!!!
- Barr religion/race from having any influence on politics/the way the world is ruled/science?
- Enforce the Death Sentence in USA & the other adament countries with high crime rates & NO death sentences?
- Legalise Gay Marriages Worldwide? =)
- Reduce the Coming-of-Age Age Limit? XD
- Invent datachips which fuses with the brain so we can just load stuff in and out without having to memorize? ;-)

15) Are you a shopaholic or not?
No. I like looking around and all...But the price-tag...Usually the pricey price-tags...Actually, most price-tags. Just puts me off immediately.

16) If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?
Not get so easily angered. Coz high blood pressure runs in my family. It's unhealthy. I wanna be...What's the word? ...Ah. Calmer. I wanna be calmer.

17) What do you usually do at home?
Surf the Net, Read, Day-Dream, Listen to Music, Fangirl...

18) Any weird habits or quirks?
- I do impromptu D.I.Y hair trims whenever my hair misbehaves
- I coat most of my non-sweet foods with heaps of pepper
- I often wonder about living impossibly alternate lives in impossibly alternate worlds
- I shift moods as quickly as a ninja catching a fly with chopsticks
- I think there's nothing wrong with what I am/do as it is completely normal? But others seem to contradict that...

19) How do you think the person who tagged you can change to be a better person ? (It's perfectly fine to leave it blank if you think he/she is perfect).
She wouldn't be her if she did that, ain't it?

20) What would you be doing if you were not taking this quiz?
Reading fiction/doujins, attempting to finish up blog drafts...Day-Dreaming...

Yeah. I didn't know what to say for some of those questions. But I shall respond with another TAGGED! Questionaire soon.

I really shouldn't be blogging now. Really.

It's less than 3 days to the Big Os. And I really shouldn't be dl-ing stuff anywhere wthin a 5m radius of my PC. But to show this blog and its owner ain't dead...

Anyway, the Farewell Assembly has long passed. I've yet to upload/edit my photos, but a vid of the Teachers SINGING is up. There was a particularly irritating matter in which some supposedly victimised people played up their role and created a storm in a doll teacup...But it went okay I guess. A more detailed blogpost of the Farewell Assembly shall follow up next month.
Teachers Singing "My Wish"

The dreaded O'Levels Practical Exam has also gone by...I spent nearly that whole day complaining/bemoaning it, so I shall fret no more.

What happened then? ...Hmm....
- My Test-Tube Peg caught fire and I thought it was the glowing splint within that ignited...By the time I realised the wooden peg was aflamed (and half-blackened), the fire was like this far ---> <---- from my hand.
- Somehow or other, I spilled the unknown salt with the highly reactive Potassium element in it on my hand, skirt, exam paper, workplace, etc...With the bunsen burner still lit.
- The given distilled water bottle behaved like an asmatic walrus having a heart attack. It heaved and squeaked and huffed thorough the whole damn thing, hindering the clean-up process. T_T

All in all...Haiz...Screw the practical man. I'm gonna pin thy hopes on the Paper III.

On my way back yesterday, I met the two patchy black cats which hovered around my block again. They had really nice eyes, those sooty kitties. One of them had brilliant emerald eyes while the other's were of the brightest gold. However, the one with the golden eyes seemed odd last night. It fixated its gaze on me and stared as I walked to the lift lobby, its eyes now a deep amber. Then the light reflected off those eyes and I felt like I was in those creepily cheesy B-Grade Chinese horror movies whereby the ghosts are neon green and enter the scene with much fanfare, dry ice smoke & looped scary music...

Black cats crossing my path...Hmmm....An omen of sorts perhaps?

And on a final note, because I can't bring myself to continue typing....Here are some more quizzes/blog thingies.

The class picture for the yearbook was released today!

Frankly, I thought it was rather cute with the array of Chibi figures all around. I especially liked mine (obviously).

Kinda reflects my soul stealer self candid shots hobby. =)

Though there were other distinctive ones such as Jolid's Black-Haired Kakashi-Lookalike with his trademark PSP, Money-Faced Liangui (Literally) painting $ signs & Jun Yan drowning in his own crap (Not Literally). If possible, I'll post the pics up.

I wanna post the whole yearbook piece, but since Luo Min has already done so @ her blog, you can go there to view it.

Many to the trio (Hwee Ying, Koon Ling & Luo Min) who slaved over this. And who still bothered making of a list of amendments some of the class wanted to add/erase.

Anyway, after grousing/grumbling/bitching for nearly a whole day, I feel a tad better about the lost EL marks I could have gotten but never did for a reason not entirely my fault alone. Yeeeeah. I DO FEEL A TAD TAD better. Either way, I don't really want to dwell on it since those involved aren't going to be bother their non-existent consciences by dwelling on it either. Yeah. Once and for all, repeat after me;
It is Not Your Fault, It's Not My Fault(unless you're Little Miss/Mr Always Right coz my results say so)

And two words for myself & the fellow stressed ones sharing the same sorry boat.. RELAX. FOCUS.

Onto the next random thought.
X-Men (Marvel comics) have one sure thing in common with the Pokemon franchise:

Their characters get uglier more unattractive and weirder as time goes by.

Recently, I borrowed this issue of X-Men from the library.


Basically it's set in this alternate universe (due to a freak accident by another freak superhero team member who went berserk but the story is getting complicated so let's not care about the background) whereby 90% of the world's mutants reverted back to human beings and lost their powers. Thus Xavier's School (X-Men HQ) become some sort of a refugee camp for those who weren't converted.

Within the camp, there lies a hidden danger in the form of this mutant (I think) with a tentacle monster living in/on his chest.

Apparently his identity is a total mystery hence his name as of now is "JOHN DEE".


The gross tentacle monster eats bits of DNA (e.g. Hairs, Blood, Fingernails...) & produces mini-voodoo dolls of the DNA's owner. The dolls can be controlled by John Dee himself and can end lives at an instant.
By the way, that fleshy thing is his finger holding the hair from the previous pic. John Dee plunges the hair bits (& his finger) into the tentacle monster's mouth. What Were You Thinking?!

Then he pulls a clam-shaped pod from the tentacle monster's mouth. And wala! The Mini-Voodoo Doll is made. (He should consider starting a business in New Orleans with this ability; it's like VooDoo for Dummies.)


Screw setting up a business. John Dee has already begun his career as a travelling salesmen.

The way he can command the voodoo dolls is just plain...perverse.

Here's a fine demonstration of how the Mini-VooDoo Doll works.
1) Tie looped thread round Doll's neck & Pull.
2) Watch intended victim perish by strangulation.

The Mini VooDoo Doll is disposable too. After one has no more use for it, just flush it down the loo.

But seriously though. A Tentacle-Monster Man who's Mutant Power is VOODOO?! Marvel must be running out of ideas. Long were the days of the Beautiful Ones of the X-Men whereby the mutants look remotely presentable regardless of the mutant ability. Nowadays, you get new mutants like Mammomax (some elephant man with acid saliva) & Peepers (Think Yoda with his eyes wide open). Haiz...

Not that I detest the new variety of mutants & their abilities. It's just unfathomable. And downright random (& kinda useless) , not to mention illogical at times. As with the Pokemon series, I want the first few generations back!




Yeah. Random thought. Just another random thought. I'm supposed to be studying, not ranting on the present X-Men. T_T

Ultimate Frisbee Izza DANGER When I'm There

When I grow up, I'll probably need therapy but I wouldn't go for it anyway.

The past few days was a troubling mental tsunami. Each marked Pre-Lim paper brought with it a fresh wave of despair and destroyed my feeble attempts at positivity. Ack. And so I spent the last few days being over-sensitive (I think) and moping whenever I could. Which technically was a waste of time that could have been spent studying but at this point, I don't feel like caring. At least Tamaki (Ouran High) grew mushrooms whenever he retreated to his damp dark emo corner.

As you may know, Excessive Mood Fizzes are detrimental to one's mental state. I could scarely focus on the matters at hand. And when I finally do so, I can't remain aware of my surroundings much. Which pretty much led to today's accident during PE where I literally almost knocked out the competition.

Mr Ong took over our class today, so PE was a tad different. He introduced some exercise called the BackStretch which reminded me of a certain Medival Age torture machine. Coincidentally resembles the modern day exercise machine.

You put a soon-to-be victim on it and tie his/her limbs to each end of the rack. Then you pull both ends at the same time and cause excruciating pain to said victim (as the joints dislocate, muscles tear & pores in the bones widen). Although the survivors of this torture are said to have longer limbs when they got out. So those with Height Obsessions CAN try this. No pain, no gain after all. XP

Anyway, the BackStretch involved you flopping up and down like a dying fish. But I digress. Mr Ong later grouped the class for a game of Ultimate Frisbee and seperated some from their usual groups. My group members were Charis, WenQi, HuiYing, YinYao & LiangYi. We played against Dan Hui's group which had two guys, BoonHao & ZheHao on their side.

I know what you're thinking. Two guys VS an All-Girls team? Not a chance, you say. But there was slightly more active participation now. I was for once, not locked from the game due to someone else's monopoly of it. So I had been reeeally focused on the frisbee. To the point that I had my eyes on the frisbee and nothing else. And thus slammed my arm into poor Boon Hao's mouth. And topped it off by knocking off his specs. I hadn't really noticed I actually hit something until he started to groan. Oops. O_O"
A laughing fit promptly overcame me right there and then (I blame that streak of Schadenfreude within) coz laughter's infectious so much so that everyone laughed. Yeah. I couldn't apologise properly =X

Honestly, I'm sorry for whacking his mouth. But after that, maybe coz of the much-needed laughter, maybe coz of the violence therapy...Hopefully the former...I felt much better than I did in a long time.

That DOESN'T MEAN that I'll make it a habit of whacking people to relieve stress. This time was purely an accident, I swear.
And I'll know how much a mouth injury hurts, coz my first kiss had been with the concrete floor when I was tripped up fell and chipped off half a front tooth back in P4.

Anyway, the spirit of Schadenfreude is strong within society. So I guess I shouldn't be too bothered about it. After all I have other things to do. Like angst over the Pre-Lims, angst over the O's, angst over the newly-bitten mouth ulcer (retribution for elbowing people in the face perhaps?), etc, etc, etc...

I'd love to play Ultimate Frisbee again though. It's one of the few sports that doesn't threaten to rip my neglected & overly long fingernails off when I catch something with my undersized hand.


P.S. What on earth do the teachers do in the staffroom? The essay I handed to Mrs Anum came back with a mysterious brown stain on the edge which smelled strangely chemical. The kind that makes you want to bolt right away. Urine doesn't even smell half as bad.

The Pre-Lims are Tomorrow

Time passes really quickly now. One moment I was making New Year resolutions and suddenly I find myself stressing over the Pre-Lims and more importantly, the O levels.

Slightly emotional, prone to frequent(but sometimes subtle)mood swings and a sheer loss of enthusiasm for what I revolved my life around (ANIME).
Although not exactly good for my mental health, it seems to be the perfect mental state for studying. Yeah. Ironically, I study better when I'm feeling somewhat emo.

Anyway, my plans for this year's Be Yourself Day seem to have vanished. One of my seniors planned to make a bang for his last Be Yourself Day by dressing as Darth Vader. And created quite a commotion, but ended up with the first prize anyway.

(He looks kinda drunken here though 0_o...)

Anyway, Clara & I did plan up a storm for this year's Be Yourself Day. But as usual, we underestimated the stress level & time insufficiency of the Pre-Lims...I guess my last year'll go out quietly then..
Nevertheless, I shall revive the passion for cosplay soon. The Summer Matsuri is coming up [Though I'll have to forgo the Natsu Matsuri =(].

I'll probably be blogging less now (so much for reviving this blog). But as soon as I have appropriate pics, I'll post 'em. We did a veeeeery nice card for Mdm Yau. And I've finally discovered that blindingly colourful notes help me study better. Charis agrees. She prefers my geog notes to the text or teacher. =)

What I learnt today...Hmm...Copper(II) Chloride, like Copper(II) Sulphate, turns the Bunsen Burner flame a lovely shade of emerald. I found out when I had traces of Copper(II) Chloride on my lighted splint.
When you dip filter paper in Copper(II) Chloride solution and burn it, the flame will blaze green and or fiery blue. Burn it at the correct angle and you'll get a green flame with a blue centre. But beware though. The burning gives off a unpleasent smell.

Thanks to HweeYing for recording this!

Adios for now.

I has lost teh ability to write

It's just five days to a three-month absence from this blog. With a whirlwind of activities during this period, I have much more to say but absolutely no motivation whatsoever to put it in words. Especially when I realised how many events are desperately in need of preservation on my online memory space.

1] S'pore StreetFest 2008 - D'J Party
2] NOMAD Preview
3] S'pore StreetFest 2008 Band Performances
4] S'pore StreetFest 2008 - WoW! Band Finals
5] NOMAD Fringe Festival
6] Superheroes Songs @ Esplanade Flipside
7] Miyuki Red White Animation Song Battle
8] S'pore Toy & Comic Convention
9] NOMAD @ AMKSS
10] Cosfest @ D'Marquee

And let's not forget the Common Tests Rant, Pre-PreLims Peeves & the Emo Speeches. (There's the miscellaneous Life happenings; that'll be left aside)

......Dear Heavens, on account on this blog, let my perpetual Writer's Block disappear so I can get my EL homework done on time for once so my precious memories'll be preserved here.

Tis rather fitting eh? I wonder what Singapore's one would be...?
