oOps!

Okaye, so i prolly broke swiss cottage's record of having destroyed the most labratory equipment in a day. Was doing titration and everything was going just fine. In fact, I've never broken any lab equipment before. Anw like i was saying, titration was alright, except for the start where my pipette suddenly flew out of my hands and drived itself at jacqueline's pencil case. it didn't break though, so it was no big deal. Went on to do Qualitative Analysis later and placed the boiling tube and two test tubes in the test tube rack. Managed to mix this red-brown powder and a pee-like liquid successfully and got a nice green solution very much unlike jacqueline's luminous green one. Realised that i'd forgotten to take an extra conical flask so i went to the sidebench to get one. That was of course when the most horrid thing happened -i knocked the WHOLE rack of tubes over. Was like -OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG- cos the solution (and gless bits) were all over the floor. Ms Seah didn't realise it at first, until she went over and saw the mess on the floor. Of course i had to clean it up. Thank goodness with a broom and not some dirty, balding mop. I was very traumatised by the fact that i broke three things in one second, and was very very careful after that. Did abit of QA and went to wash the stuff. Oh and guess what? Yup. I broke something -a beaker. Was washing the beaker and at the next moement, it was lying at the bottom of the sink. Of course, the whole class erupted into their usual 'OHHHHHHHHH'.
Anw i didn't finish the QA and had to record my name in this book. Meryl also broke something, but her item (a white tile) was kind of a silly object to break, but HEY, at least she didn't break FOUR items unlike yours truly. Anw, Ms Seah highlighted my name.
......
OMG. How embarrassing. I must be the only swiss student that has her name highlighted or smth. i swear, the only things i've ever destroyed were the ovaries of a poor flower. okay, i have officially developed a phobia for everything in the chem lab -.-

Had a parent-teacher meeting on saturday. Upon stepping out of the hall, the first thing my mom said was
"Do you know how many lights there are in your hall?"
LMAO. Okay, so the vp was so boring that my mom derived greater pleasure from looking at the spotlights. HEH.
Anw, was looking at the subjects for jc and really... I SO DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE SCIENCE STREAM. I mean seriously, math, physics, bio, chem, computing... Like OhMyGoodness, all the regurgitation this year is killing me, and the mere thought of memorising a hundred more tomes really sickens me. Don't think i'd do very well in arts though. Oh well.

Talking about subjects, the CA report is obviously not a very reliable source to gauge one's subjects. I got 79 for physics, i meant WTH?! And i got this really pathetic score of 65 for english. Like OhMyGoodness, this is ENGLISH leh. Oh and i scored 76 for amath, like HELLO, this is AMATH for goodness sakes, and it's even higher than my emath. Wonder of all wonders, i passed chem. I did fail my chinese, but only by two marks. I swear, i'll be so happy if i get this result for exams -.-

On a completely irrelevant note, i think Mrs heng officially hates me; she keeps calling on me in class. ARGH.

Last Night's Concert.

It was alright. Just very tiring, got a bit high (not as high as joyce was though). Think i played alright. At least i had tai feng, fwahahaha.
The only thing i had to gripe about was the fact that i got pushed so far in. Heck, my friend even texted me, exclaiming how come the arrangement of the co was so messy that a pp had to sit all the way inside and complained about the fact that she had to crane her neck so much. Was very annoyed at the sudden change in the seating arrangement at first, but i kinda got over it later cos i realised that people wouldn't be able to notice it if i made any mistakes.
Had a blister on my index finger and thumb, but they only made their appearance during co practice. Exerted too much pressure during the rehearsal yesterday and a blister on my blister. Rushed to joyce right before the concert started to get a band-aid and she called me a ding-brain -.-
(For the uninitiated, ding is a universal term which can be used for anything and everything. i.e:
Don't be such a ding!
Will you stop ding-ing away?
I got ding-ed!
You are such a ding-ie
On the hindsight, the pronunciation of the term dingie is not to be confused with that of the word dingy.)
P.S: I think joyce and jasmine were quite amused reading the above. That shows their level of intelligence....or the lack of. HEH.
Anw, lotsa people said that the atmosphere 'was there', and that they could sense some sorta teamwork-chemistry-thingamajig going on.
My mom said that i had a very short attention span cos my eyes seemed to be travelling around during a few songs. One of them must be tian long ba bu cos i was in the zone, sitting there contemplating about life. When all of a sudden, i realised that the people around me had started playing -.-
Was Mr Chua's last night, was kinda shocked cos i thought it would be the coming saturday. Guess i'll probably not go back. Hmmm. Oh and Mr Chua, i hope you weren't offended by the "I didn't write my message there cos i didn't want it to be under your armpit." comment, hahaha. We'll miss you.
Didn't get to do that whole tea ceremony thing with jasmine and the two gong-gong's ))):
Oh and i am so not amused by the fact that wk and merv didn't know that i was a pp till yesterday. bah.

The Annual School Cross Country.

Otherwise dubbed as The Swiss Cottage Big Walk by waikit. Okay, so it's happening next friday and i am really not looking forward to it (even though i'll definitely be one of the strollers). I shall have to brave the sweltering heat and hope that i don't get another allergy outbreak. NO, i'm not allergic to the sunlight. Just went to the doctors yesterday cos i've angry-looking, rash-like patches at a few parts of my hands and feet. And before you jump to conclusions like the very ignorant auntie behind the counter it is most definitely NOT the HFMD, OKAY. I mean for goodness sakes, the hmfd doesn't even itch and mine itches so much i'm almost beginning to scratch myself like a dog with fleas. Anyway, the doctor (who was of course much more informed), said it was probably an allergic reaction from some insect bite.
......
Liew. The insect must be rabid.

On to other stuff. I can't believe i'm gonna step down so soon. it seems almost surreal. Clarrissa, joyce and i were discussing about the ugly black co tee we were wearing on saturday, when joyce suddenly said that it would be the last time we were gonna wear it. The darn tee=shirt suddenly seemed so appealing. Which made me wonder how i'd react on the last day of co practice. I mean yeah, being sad is one thing but the only emotions i ever show are happiness or angst (whicih i happened to be showing alot today, but shall elaborate later). Anw, i'm the least likely person to cry. I mean seriously. Hmmm. Guess i shall wait and see.
Oh btw, lotsa people are quite sad by tha fact that Mr Chua's leaving. Funny how people take things for granted. Oh well, i'm sad too but we really can't do anything about it ))): Think the sec4 strings' members won't be returning all that often since it'd be rather weird to face the new teacher.
Had Co today. It was not a good practice. I was pms-ing having one of my very extreme moods swings and looking all sullen, and unintentionally diao-ing a lot of people. This affected the sound from my erhu A LOT. I became rather violent and was kinda rough with my erhu ))): Had another mood swing halfway into the practice and was really chirpy. Was even holding hands with yongmei and swinging them back and forth. I mean, omg, it was just so weird.

What a Motley Bunch.

This refers to jacqueline, jasmine, vanessa, mervyn, waikit and myself.
Met merv and wk at Cck bus interchange and took the 190bus to town. Was supposed to call jasmine to let her know that we had boarded the bus but i forgot. Only remembered at the first stop, and jasmine coincidentally called me. Jasmine wasn't at the stop so we had to get down -i shall hereby clarify, that the time the bus took to travel between the interchange and the first stop would be barely long enough for jasmine to dash from her house to the polyclinic, before she pushes the blame to me. fwahaha.
Anyhoo, we got down at the next stop and walked back. Feeling not too comfortable with the numerous akward silences, i casually remarked that there was a lot of bird poo (both dried and fresh) on the ground -there really was. i mean, the whole ground was spattered with white splotches. A few steps later, mervyn and i were hit with bird poo. Naturally, we weren't too happy about the liquified missiles, but we continued walking to the next bus stop with me screeching in rage. Found jasmine and we got up the bus. Someone (wk/jas?) cheerily announced that bird couldn't control their bowels, hence the gift from the gods.
Jacqueline was nice and went down to the bus stop earlier unlike certain individuals to prevent us from having to alight because of her.
Went to Cineleisure. We had actually intended to watch Final Destination, but chose Date Movie instead. Date movie was really enjoyable cos there were lotsa spoofs of other movies like Kill Bill and Mr and Mrs Smith. The parody of the advertisemet Paris Hilton did for Carl's Jr. was funny too. It was also full of perverse jokes. But seriously, i'd rather it be boobies galore than the blood&gore-filled scenes of fd3. Lest you accuse me of being horny -which i most obviously am not (didn't you hear that angelic ding of a halo?), i'll make it known that i just can't stand mindless massacreing and blood-spattering.
After the movie, we met vanessa at Marina Square. Spent a long time contemplating on where we would have lunch. Finally decided on having buffet at a japanese restaurant. The food wasn't really nice, but we had fun playing with the food. vanessa wasn't supposed to be eating anything since she wasn't paying but she did anyway. After the meal, we found one of those questionnaire-thingies at the side of the table. Incidentally, there was this part asking us to grade the Attentiveness of the staff. I promptly gave them the lowest possible for not noticing that vanessa had filched some food. Of course, i think they were just being nice and keeping an eye closed.
Went back to orchard after that. We didn't really do anything except walk about the stores. Decided to unlease the geek within and visited a few bookstores. Wanted to buy a few books from Kinokuniya, but i wasn't carrying enough cash on me. Couldn't find the book i wanted at Borders. pah. For such a large bookstore, they have even less books that i like than Kinokuniya.
The highlight of the day: Courtesy of mervyn
I kid you not. This was taken at Topshop, not some random picture i googled off the net. Forgot how much it cost. There were other interesting products too. Hmmm.
Being very full cos of the buffet,we decided to have a late and light dinner. Walked around for ages before we decided on where to eat with mervyn recommending us to eat curry puffs from Old Chang Kee. Gee, what a great sutggestion. Settled for NYDC cos Billy Bombers was really expensive. After we were seated, everyone suddenly realised that the food was just a costly. Jasmine suggested that we leave. We didn't want to in the beginning, but after a short moment, six figures strode out of the cafe hurriedly. Went to Swensen's after that. The price was about the same too [-.-] Vanessa, mervyn and wk shared a plate of fish and chips. They also shared two ice creams with jasmine. Yup. That was how pathetic we were.

The Three Horrors.

Jasmine: Sits in front of me. Has a tendency to just grab my hole-puncher (is there even such a term??) and hog it for ages. Can never walk stairs without almost tripping. Says that i am short though she's only one cm taller. Is therefore, almost as vertically-challenged as i am. P.s.: I swear she must be infatuated with her dance instructor. heh.

Mervyn: What did i do to deserve to sit next to him?! The self-proclaimed 182cm-guy is an auntie sorry, i meant lady-killer *ChokeGaspDie* Has the female teachers swooning at his feet. eg. Ms Seah, Mdm Tang, Mrs Heng (okay, maybe not her). His head is a whirpool of perverse notions. Can you believe that he can even construct a disgusting sentence with the word 'Hoick'?

Waikit: Sits diagonally behind. Has thick skin. Just called merv and himself attractive. eurghhh. Takes great pleasure in correcting Mrs Heng's english. Another pervie, though he always denies it. Waikit, we know your secret! Has no qualms about reminding me of the fact that i my pituitary gland doesn't secrete much hormones.


I wonder what i did to accumulate all the bad karma that caused me to end up with these goons. Bah. I swear now they're gonna pick on Jacqueline and I cos we aren't as aye-mah-rish (ah-mah-ish) as them.
