A Place Where My Dreams Roam

400th post

2010-08-09T22:27:00.000+08:00

I know, I said I'd be moving on, but I have a final message for two people who kept my Cbox alive.

To Sheryl and HeeChul

What, only one time? No more? Jeez, you guys aren't professional. I've had worse flamers in my time.

Thanks anyway. I'm honoured. :)

Sunflowers.

2010-08-07T23:41:00.002+08:00

There will eventually be a time when you tell yourself it's time to move on and start anew.

For me, that time is now.

I will leave this blog intact for memories' sake, but my thoughts will be recorded elsewhere.

Maybe you'll find out in due time.

Maybe.

GAAAAH!

2010-07-07T12:49:00.002+08:00

Damn it.
I'm stuck in school until 5. It takes an hour or more to get home. I have tuition at 6.

My father is the best dad ever! 8DDD

2010-06-06T16:08:00.000+08:00

Let's see...

I am now banned from watching/listening to/talking about anything Korean when my dad is around cos it's fucking dumb and irritating. Not much difference cos he's never home.

He wants to send me on a one way flight to Korea. Okay, thank you! I can go and audition at SM and change my own money to won if I wanna come home.

Basically, I have to be a nerd and not do anything I want; aka, die of stress, have no social life, be like some emotionless robot, etc.

Thanks Daddy! You're the most awesome dad in the world. 8D

Sapphire Blue Dreams

2010-05-31T16:43:00.000+08:00

Mum and I have both had weird Suju dreams recently.

Mum's dream; Apparently, Kyuhyun was my boyfriend. He picked me up from school and carried my things and brought me to dinner and everything. And apparently kept calling me his princess. o.0

My dream: I was one of several lucky girls who won a backstage pass to some sort of Suju performance and as an added bonus we got to sit in a car with a Suju member on our way to the destination. Lucky me, it was Heechul. And I ended up stuttering at him asking if I could take a picture of him. The best part? I realised, just as the dream ended, that I was speaking English and he didn't understand me.

Expensive oppas. TT_TT

2010-05-24T11:17:00.001+08:00

Super Junior oppas, why are you so expensive? Singaporean ELFs need to pay $700 to $800 just to see you...

2010-05-06T12:51:00.000+08:00

Not many people know what I mean when I say I am sad, or lonely.
Not many people know what I am like when I am truly at ease, truly happy.
Not many people know that my heart is like an endless corridor of locked doors.
Not many people know me for who I really am.

Ugh. . .

2010-05-05T14:57:00.000+08:00

How will I ever recover like this?

Insecure

2010-05-05T08:40:00.000+08:00

It's really horrible.
I keep falling sick, and exams are next week.
My fever shot up to 39.1 degrees Celsius this morning.
It's come down, but I'm scared that it'll go up again.
I'm really scared... Mrs Wong said that studying while sick will kill brain cells faster? Is it true?

I feel 'good' ._.

2010-05-04T16:46:00.000+08:00

Sick with fever that comes and goes every 4 to 5 hours. And having to use a lousy flexible keyboard cos of my stupid O key cover. Feeling horrible right now. :(

Sick :(

2010-05-04T12:23:00.002+08:00

Sick. Again. Fever. Again.

Pig Rabbit

2010-05-01T09:57:00.001+08:00

Dweji Tokki! XD
It's sold at Comic Connection! ㅋㅋㅋ
So cute! *squee*

In sadder news. I broke the cover of my O key. D:

伤心

2010-04-25T12:09:00.001+08:00

也不是我要生病，你为什么要骂我？

家

2010-04-25T00:35:00.001+08:00

爸爸，你的心里还有这个家吗？
你知道我们是多想你吗？难道您忘了吗？
爸爸，请快点回家。妈妈和我都很想你...

Irresponsible!

2010-04-23T00:44:00.000+08:00

I panicked my head off looking for my digital camera. I thought it was lost.
Turns out, Dad borrowed it. Without telling me.
I nearly had a heart attack thinking that I'd lost my new - BRAND NEW. NEVER USED BEFORE NEW - camera.

Don't people like my father just IRK you? I mean, come on! At least ask for permission or leave a note or something!

Fangirling Mother

2010-04-20T14:32:00.000+08:00

What is this? My mum is fangirling Super Junior M and is actively seeking out videos of them to watch on Youtube. ._.

I'm fine, really...

2010-04-19T22:47:00.000+08:00

Hello all!
I'm posting now to assure my readers (if there are any left) that I'm fine. I've been away from school for quite some time, but rest assured I'm on the road to recovery.

Thank you to Mummy for her never ending patience in looking after me, and also to Sasu and Hina, who somehow discovered that I got hospitalised and were quick to ask if I was okay when I finally logged back into my computer. Thank you guys! :D

._.

2010-04-09T12:45:00.001+08:00

Observation of the day: Based on my prior experiences, if I auditioned for the role of a drug addict or drunkard, I'd probably get it.

Random

2010-04-05T21:06:00.000+08:00

I changed my blog picture. The quote is taken from a translation of Don't Don, but tweaked to fit the blog URL. It was supposed to be something along the lines of

Even when all the dreamers are gone... (something something something)

If I'm not wrong, Hankyung sang that line.
Hannie.... :(
His lawsuit will come to an end in May. I hope he wins the lawsuit. It'll pain me to see him leave Super Junior behind, but it's for the best.
Hankyung hwaiting. :)

Dream

2010-03-31T22:49:00.002+08:00

There are supposed to be song lyrics.

But I can't think of any.

So I'll edit this post with the lyrics later.

2010-03-26T19:35:00.002+08:00

I'm scared.
Somebody please talk to me.

ㅋㅋㅋ

2010-03-26T16:36:00.001+08:00

Hello people. Been in the ward at the hospital all day.
No, I'm not sick. I'm waiting for my mum to get back from the recovery room.
I taught myself how to type in Korean while waiting ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Eg. My name 황시민
황 = G + H + K + D
시 = T + L
민 = A + L + S

Eg. 2 Kim Heechul 김희철
김 = R + L + A
희 = G + M + L
철 = C + L + F

Only problem, I don't know how to read what I'm typing. ._.

How My Mum Differentiates between the Suju and Suju M members.

2010-03-18T20:24:00.003+08:00

Eeteuk = 'Crybaby'

Heechul = Heechul (he's my fave member, duh. )

Hankyung = 'Hangeng'/'Blissful expression'

Yesung = Cowboy (The Night Chicago Died, Super Show 1)

Kangin = 'The guy in the clown suit' (super show 1) / The guy who spat out Coke (Intimate Note)

Shindong = 'Fat Lump' (orz)

Sungmin = 'The poor guy who got spat on.' (Intimate Note)

Eunhyuk = 'the guy in the blue cheongsam' (Intimate Note)

Donghae' = 'Donghai'

Siwon = 'Ugly' (orz)

Ryeowook = 'The guy in the donkey suit'(The Night Chicago Died)

Kibum = 'Black Shirt' (Haengbok MV)

Kyuhyun = 'Ba Toh Yao~' (the episode of Big Brother Returns with Suju M as guests)

Zhou Mi = 'Ugly No. 2' (orz)

Henry = 'Henry' (Cos he's cute)

I think I might be falling sick meow D:
Shouldn't have splashed my face with water during tuition D:
But I would have fallen asleep on top of my notes! DDDD: Stupid boring teacher D:
Boring teachers should be fined for each student who has to wash their face/apply medicated oil to keep awake.
Imma go to bed now. Hope I'll feel better in the morning :(

2010-02-13T12:47:00.001+08:00

So bothersome, sick but no fever ._.

Vampires do not Sparkle

2010-01-25T23:11:00.001+08:00

Vampires do not sparkle,
They have photo-sensitive skin.
Vampires are nocturnal,
This is a must and not a whim.

Vampires feed on humans
Lions and bears just will not do
They're rough and tough and oh so suave,
And they have neat fangs too.

Vampires are very graceful,
They do not walk, they glide.
They age with their thirst, young to old in a burst,
And so much more besides.

Vampires are not models
I sincerely doubt they are.
It's not their looks but their hypnotic stare
That ensnares us from afar.

Vampires – oh yeesh – Vampires.
And I don't mean the Twilight kind.
Whatever happened to good old Dracula,
Who's gone so far from our minds?

Happy birthday Victoria! (in advance)

2010-01-21T17:11:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday to Vic, Happy birthday to Vic, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VI~IC, Happy birthday to Vic!

IN CHINESE!

祝你生日快乐，祝你生日快乐。祝你生日快乐，祝你生日快乐。
IN KOREAN!

No More Fairytales

2010-01-20T22:39:00.000+08:00

Once upon a fairytale, the prince and the princess meet.

Once upon a fairytale, the prince and princess fall in love.

Once upon a fairytale, the prince rescues the princess from mortal peril and they wed.

Once upon a fairytale, the prince and princess become king and queen.

And they live happily ever after.

But that's just a story. There are no fairytale endings for me in my world. The real world.

After all, I'm not a princess. Neither am I Orihime, or Kushinada, the maiden saved from Yamato no Orochi. There is no prince in my future, no Hikoboshi, no Susano.

It has been 3 years since my Fairytale Prince Charming galloped off on his white horse, on a quest on the other side of the world.

5 years since we fell in love.

6 years since we first met.

Feh.

Written down on paper, the figures seem so small. Puny. Minute.

But 3 years - 3 years is a lifetime with nobody to give chocolates on Valentine's Day.

Nobody who gives you presents in return along with a smile on White Day.

Nobody accompanies you to Tanabata.

Nobody's there to hold you when you cry, to wipe your tears away.

Nobody's there to yell at and argue with, and to apologise to later.

Nobody's there.

Nobody's there to love.

I was 12 years old 6 years ago. Yes, I know. I was young. But I had a clear mind, and my heart was true. I was mature. Shocking, I know.

I close my eyes, and I can see my 12 year old self. Dolled up, in my mother's make up. In a new evening dress.

I was to attend a dance for the children of influential families. There wasn't much on my mind. It was a boring night, and a stuffy dance. The other kids were irritating. More times than not, I wanted to punch them.

Then he walked into my life, and poof! My life changed.

I could never settle back into life after he left.

Never.

He was my first love story.

At the rate I'm going, he'll also be the last.

2010-01-20T16:23:00.000+08:00

I waited 2 hours at the polyclinic only for the doctor to tell me to see a specialist and one set of medicine(70 cents, epic man, epic.).

Syncope

2010-01-19T10:49:00.000+08:00

Mum says I need to keep a track of my syncope. So here's what happened on Friday.

Heart palpitations in classroom
Hyperventilated all the way to the G.O
Hallucinated in the sick bay. Saw pillows fighting, talking first aid boxes and a bus drove into the sick bay.

Okay. That's it ^^

Unearth the Past

2010-01-19T10:22:00.000+08:00

Found a set of my old baby photos. I didn't look half spastic. There were photos of me eating, crying, crying while eating, staring at the camera, trying to roll over, being carried(by many different relatives), at my one-month celebration...
And my mum and dad and grandparents looked so different. My grandfather's hair was actually dark grey not light. ._.

Life is all about odd and even.

2010-01-13T22:57:00.000+08:00

I apologise everyone. Recently I've been so upset that I've neglected my blog, and story requests. I truly am sorry.

2010-01-11T22:13:00.000+08:00

I'm sick of acting.
Not acting as in go on stage and recite lines.
I'm sick of pretending. I'm sick of wearing a mask in front of the world every single day. I'm sick of being the 'Crescentian Hyper Happy Overachiever Nicole' and not the 'Normal, Content, At Home Nicole'. I'm sick of being the lighthouse that all the ships flock to but never acknowledge her usefulness. I'm sick of changing every time I see certain people or walk into certain places. I'm sick of being ignored all the time and then being the one who pisses off people when she decides to do something that benefits herself for a change. I'm sick of being seen as the nerdy tall girl who's the English Pro and studies a lot and gets good grades. I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of it all.
I'm sick of this place. This cold, uncaring place where nobody seems to care.
Why can't I be a normal girl who has friends? Why must I be the one who puts up with everything and has to restrain her true self? Why can't I be the one who lets it all go for a change?
Why doesn't anybody try to understand me?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

2010-01-10T13:42:00.000+08:00

IT'S TODAY!

I'M FINALLY 14!

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY YAAAY! XD

1 day

2010-01-09T09:47:00.001+08:00

There's no school today, and one day left to my birthday. Yay for me.

2 days

2010-01-08T10:50:00.000+08:00

5th day of school. 2 days to my birthday.

I have officially resigned from the Best Damn Clique.

Adios.

3 days

2010-01-07T10:48:00.002+08:00

4th day of school, and 3 days to my birthday.

Why must this happen to me? This is the worst birthday present ever.

4 days

2010-01-06T17:21:00.000+08:00

It's the third day of school, and I'm doing Maths homework. Mum is home with aching swollen feet from standing up too long.

Should I do anything for my birthday? It's coming soon (and I'm gonna be 'Birthday Cheer' ambushed during recess).

5 days

2010-01-05T21:27:00.002+08:00

Second day of school, and I'm feeling proud on behalf of Michelle, whose artwork was used for our Student Handbook. Go go Michelle!

And, I've figured out the mystery of GIFs. Aren't I lame? =.=

My New Year's Resolution

2010-01-04T19:47:00.000+08:00

First day of school and I'm tired. Lugged all my books to school. Ugh.

Oh, and I have homework already. Thank goodness it's only a little.

Anyway, sorry for not uploading stories and instead treating APWMDR as my ranting grounds for the past year. I promise to cut down on the rants in future. And I'll try to not be an idiot and get involved with the people who invoke those rants. Of course, I may not be successful...

My New Year's Resolution is to stay away from irritants so as to preserve my good health.

Seven Days

2010-01-03T16:17:00.002+08:00

Happy Happy! :D

Runaway Hamster

2010-01-02T21:43:00.002+08:00

Just now, a neighbour's hamster escaped from its cage and hid in another neighbour's shoe while she was visiting us and talking to my mum. Her son was outside my house, when suddenly we heard him shout "MA! HAMSTER IN YOUR SHOE!"

How we screamed.

F L U spells FLU

2010-01-02T15:55:00.001+08:00

Sick with flu yay =.=

Sneezed so much teeth hurt yay =.=

Stomach hurts.

GRAWR!pissed

2009-12-28T18:36:00.000+08:00

Rawr. Grandparents forcibly cleaned my bedroom-cum-unused study today. Guess what? I got scolded for EVERYTHING. Even when it wasn't my fault.
I got PERMISSION from my neighbours to use their Chinese newspaper while they went on holiday! Why am I getting scolded for bringing them out to do my work?
The clothes on the chair aren't all mine! Why am I getting all the bloody scolding?
WHY ARE YOU SCOLDING ME FOR TANGLED WIRES?! You think I WANT THEM TO BE TANGLED?!?!

^^

2009-12-25T23:09:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas!

Psycho woman

2009-12-22T22:39:00.000+08:00

Saw this psycho woman today while grocery shopping at Thomson Plaza.

There was a car approaching her in the carpark. The driver braked in time to avoid hitting her, but the woman banged on the car hood cos she thought that the driver didn't see her. Her loud 'bang' woke up a little kid in the car and the kid started crying. The driver(another woman) got pissed.
Eventually it turned into a verbal fight. At one point the psycho woman shouted "F---ing woman! COWARD!".
I thought I heard wrong. But I didn't.

Man, what's up with her? Would banging the car hood stop the car? For all she knows, she would have gotten knocked down even after she banged the car hood. Jeez.

Stop emoing, baka-Nicole! D<

2009-12-21T19:55:00.002+08:00

For the majority of 2009, my blog posts have been emo. I have to be more upbeat. Seriously.

RIP-OFF!

2009-12-15T22:10:00.000+08:00

I SAW A MANABU YUKAWA WANNABE ON A DRAMA ON CHANNEL 55 D<
CURSE YOU STUPID DOCTOR! WRITING IN THE AIR, GIVING A COMPLICATED EXPLANATION, EVEN USING THE SAME HAND SIGN! D< D<

RIP-OFF!

Scholarship, scho~~~~larship~

2009-12-14T17:47:00.000+08:00

I goooot a scholarship, I goooot a scholarship~

Okay, so it's an Edusave scholarship and not the bursary that I got and didn't qualify for for the past 6 years... BUT IT'S STILL A SCHOLARSHIP!

Say, according to Mr Tham, a scholar is a shi right? Does that mean I'm a 'shi' now? o.o

How to deal with Free Riders - For all overworked students out there :D

Something I am sure we have all faced at one point in our lives. Enjoy. :D

"Did you know you're sort of beautiful?" "... How hard did you hit your head?"

2009-12-09T23:01:00.000+08:00

So, it finally happened. I finally - finally - went to go watch New Moon with my mum.

My verdict?

First of all, so I don't royally piss off any Twilighters/Edward fangirls/Bella wannabes, let me say this.

EDWARD CULLEN MINUS HIS SHIRT IS UGLY. Not just ugly.

REALLY, REALLY, WANNA-GOUGE-MY-EYES-OUT UGLY.

If you are offended by this statement, please leave now and refrain from flaming/spamming my blog. Much ♥ and thanks.

Disclaimer ends here.

Okay, on to the real review. :D

First of all. No comment on plot, cos that's the same as the book.

Second. Jasper! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!??! YOU LOOK WORSE THAN CONSTIPATED! WHY?!?

Third. Jacob with long hair looks gay. The heads of the Volturi all look gay. Marcus looks old and constipated. Caius has the face of a youngster. Aro has this twitchy rat gay madman look that had me wide eyed.

Okay. Parts that I liked.

Jacob! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ He has almost all the epic lines in the movie.

The scene where Mike was puking his guts out in the toilet.(epic WIN)

"If you're sick, you should be in hospital. Do you want me to PUNCH you into hospital?" - a very pissed off Jacob

Seeing Felix brutally beat up Edward. Whoo! Go Felix! Go go! 8D SLAM HIM INTO THE STAIRCASE! WHOOO! :DDD *hides from any fangirls who didn't leave*

The pack 'exploding' into their wolf-form. That was EPIC.

One scene in the beginning where the class was watching Romeo and Juliet.

Screen shows Jessica, looking slightly sad.

Screen goes to Angela, looking very sad.

Screen goes to Eric, who is crying. Very obviously.

That part was EPIC.

SGIDOL - Gender-biased?

2009-12-08T22:30:00.004+08:00

Singapore Idol sucks. I've lost complete faith in it. Never watching it again.

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU KICK OUT TABITHA? HER VOICE FREAKING ROCKS!

If the guy wins, I seriously think that SGIDOL is GENDER-BIASED.

OR the voters are all brain dead fangirls who see any random guy off the street and go 'OMG HOT MUST VOTEZZZZ'

God. What is Singapore coming to? I swear, if I had CGS, CFPS and all my friends out there voting for me, even with my tone-deaf singing, I can become Singapore Idol too. AND CLINCH MAJOR CONTRACTS.

Dude! Tabitha FTW! STUPID GUY WHOSE NAME I DON'T BOTHER TO REMEMBER!
AND STUPID FANGIRLS!

I am as light as a loaf of bread.

2009-12-01T22:19:00.000+08:00

Fantastic Mr Fox the movie sucked, don't watch it. There were like 5 people in the theater. Awkward much?

Meow. Please save the poor kitten.

2009-11-26T23:54:00.000+08:00

HIIIII! 8DDD
I'm on a 'The Lion King' craze now, which is very obvious from my current Messenger screen name. 8DDD

Oh, and important announcement. Cheery's friend's friend found a poor cute abandoned kitten. This poor kitten is in desperate need of a new home. Kind souls out there, please help us by adopting the kitten and giving it a good home!

A million thanks to all! ~

Close your eyes, take that step.

2009-11-24T22:37:00.000+08:00

Sorry. I haven't posted in a long time.
I've decided that I have an inferiority complex. In a bad way. A really bad way.
Maybe I'm losing it or something, I don't know. But I do know one thing.

I'm human too.

When tomorrow comes, you will no longer be with me

2009-11-13T22:45:00.000+08:00

What would you do if I suddenly disappeared? Not as in, poof and you can't find me. You can see me, but no matter how you try, I won't respond to you. I just go about doing whatever it is I'm doing. It's like I've disappeared in the way that my link to you is gone.
What would you do? How would you feel?

Keep it up... Keep fighting...

2009-11-10T15:17:00.000+08:00

Ugh. Break between plasticine torture sessions. So horrible.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

THIS IS MY 333rd POST. AIN'T THAT COOL???? 8DDDDD

Oh, and Mr Ng finally got married yesterday.[IT'S PAST 12 O:] Congrats Mr Ng! :D

=.=

2009-11-07T19:09:00.000+08:00

Aghh. My body aches all over. I feel sick.

Tick tock tick tock, even as time flies...

2009-11-07T00:20:00.000+08:00

I felt faint and dizzy today. Gaaah. Stupid low-rice diet doesn't work.
SO DON'T BELIEVE MY DAD. Eating less rice DOES help you lose weight but after a week or so, you start to feel like crap.
You know, I actually 'fainted' today. I lost control of my body and fell BANG on the floor. So kids, learn from my example.

The Sleeping Lily prt 1

2009-11-02T13:50:00.000+08:00

Hey all. Just a story. I have nothing else to post. ._.

Once upon a time, there lived a princess by the name of Yon. She lived peacefully with her family in their castle. She was a kind, warm-hearted princess, who was well-loved by her people, and also the object of affection of many boys - including one redhead scribe-in-training. She was also well-versed in the useage of blades and daggers despite being a girl. She excelled in her studies as well, so it was no wonder that jealousy would take root.

Dark times befell the land when an evil warlock grew fearful of the princess's potential. He lad forth his proposal; either the princess would join his side, or suffer a fate worse than death. Yon, being who she was, boldly refused his offer and - by doing so - doomed her castle. The servants were ordered to leave immediately, lest they too were affected by the warlock's curse. However, despite all attempts on the princess's part, only two people were able to escape; the scribe-in-training and the gardener's son, both of whom had been evacuating their colleagues. They had barely made it out of the gates when an eerie silence befell the courtyard. Turning back, they saw that the crowd who had been behind them had fallen to the ground in a deep slumber. Even as they watched, vines that overflowed with thorns started growing, sealing off entrance into the castle.

Falling to his knees, Lavi the scribe let out a long, heartbroken scream.

At this, Kanda Yu - the gardener's boy - strode forward and whacked his friend firmly on the head. "Get a grip on yourself, baka usagi. Crying won't solve anything." His gaze softened as he stared at the vines bitterly. "Not now."

"Then what do we do?" Lavi looked up from the twisting vines. "What can we do?" He dropped his gaze back to the sealed doorway. "Princess Yon..."

This earned him yet another whack. "You idiot," snapped Yu, "did you think I don't have anybody I cherish in there? What about my father? What about Aiko?"

Aiko was the princess’s personal attendant. Heaven knew that the two had been in a relationship for quite some time. She had been tasked with the job of persuading Yon to evacuate, but evidently, she had failed. Now she too was among the sleeping…

Yu’s eyes narrowed. “We train. We fight. And then we save them.”

At this, a single feminine voice rose from behind them.

“I am sorry, but… may I help?”

A strawberry blonde girl stood behind them. She was of a small build – 8, maybe 9, Yu reasoned. She wore tattered robes that had seen better days, with a bright orange cloak over the ensemble. “My name is Alex. I’m a Spellcaster from the Black Guild. We were informed of the Earl’s curse on the castle and I was sent here to help.”

“What help can you offer?” snapped the samurai-esque teen.

With a scowl, Alex pulled a book from her satchel, opened it and started to chant. She then held out her right hand, and fire started spinning around it, dancing in merry spirals.

“I can help you retake the castle and break the curse. I can train you to fight.”

Yu snorted. “Pah. Magic? It’s too flighty to be of any use.”

This earned another scowl. “I wasn’t talking to you, feminine face. You don’t even have an affinity to magic.”

Alex tapped Lavi on the shoulder. “Hey, you. Do you want to save your princess?”

GOING TO YUNNAN OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

I don't believe it I'M GOING TO YUNNAN NEXT YEAR OMGOMGOMG *hyperventilates*

2009-10-31T21:53:00.000+08:00

Okay. Um. Hi.
Today's Halloween, and like every other year, I didn't celebrate. Nobody living near me wants to celebrate Halloween anyway. The last time I tried, I didn't even dare to go trick-or-treating. That was what, in primary 2? Or was it primary 1? Ugh, I don't remember anymore.
I don't have much to say anymore. Have you noticed? Unless I'm sad, mad or emo, my blog posts are getting shorter and shorter. My stories - or at least the ones I post here - have slowed to a mere trickle. No, maybe worse than that. A mere drop per many many days, on an irregular basis.

Turn your face away from the garish light of day

2009-10-30T21:20:00.000+08:00

I forgot to ask.
How do you like my new blogskin? I wanted one where the music player wouldn't malfunction in Internet Explorer. Thanks for letting me use your basecodes, Sasu! 8D
Oh yeah, feel free to browse through the tracks on the music player. I'll add more as time passes. For now, may I recommend Bei Ji Xing De Yan Lei and Guang Yin De Gu Shi? 'No One Like Me' by Super Junior is good too.
Yes, I'm actually listening to Chinese and Korean songs. 8D

School's out~~!

2009-10-30T20:11:00.000+08:00

School's OUT! 8D
Finally!
No more rats and twits! WOO HOO!
FREEDOM! AT LONG BLOODY LAST!

I'm off the clock, the pressure's off

2009-10-29T19:17:00.000+08:00

School ends tomorrow. After that, FREEDOM.
Hmm... Should I plan an outing for tomorrow? *thinks*

Do the HAPPY dance! 8D

2009-10-29T15:14:00.000+08:00

I GOT SECOND IN CLASS! GO ME! 8D

Hmmm.

2009-10-28T22:48:00.002+08:00

I'm slowly recovering. Oh well. At least I'm not struck with H1N1. That was a close call. Thanks for scaring me, doc. =.=
Well, I've taken to listening to a mixture of random songs - some are K-Pop, some are the ones I always listen to, some are theme songs for random shows... Oh, and I listen to Chinese songs from my mother's time. They're nice songs.
If anybody has 'Guang Yin De Gu Shi' by Sylvia Chang/Zhang Ai Jia or Liu Wen Zheng, could you send it to me?

EDIT: SONG SOUNDS LIKE THIS. The video is being screwy, click here to listen.

Coffee and medicine do NOT mix. They just give you a bloody headache.

May this be a lesson to all of you, from the girl who learnt it the hard way.

2009-10-26T14:56:00.000+08:00

Hey guys.
I'm sick.
Doc says that if I don't recover soon, I may have contracted H1N1. Or a new strand of it.
Yay me.
On the bright side, I managed to interview Mark Waid. Oh well.

If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass us by?

2009-10-23T21:42:00.000+08:00

I have mixed feelings about writing to Ms Ong to ask for a chance at being a peer leader.
(I had actually been nominated, but I declined because of my pigheaded father)
Being a leader gives me leadership points, so it'll help me in the future. I'll get a chance at refining my leadership skills and whatnot. I wanted to be a leader back then. My dad just didn't let me apply.
But what if my dad is right? What if - when I become a leader - my grades drop? What if I can't handle the stress?
What should I do?
What can I do?

Looking back on my recent posts, I haven't been happy about anything for a long time. Meh. Wonder why.
Not.

Oh well. It's just my life I guess.

Beautiful and True

2009-10-15T23:43:00.000+08:00

Changed my blogskin background again. This one was done when I was listening to 'Any Drean Will Do', the prologue of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat'. It's a nice musical. You should watch it.

Any dream will do...

Exams are over.
FINALLY.
YAY!

Someday I'll be Saturday night

Hello people...
Taking a short break from revising History. End of the EOYs is coming soon... And we have one week off after that, which is good. Break from school plus break from irritants. I have one week to let myself fall apart, then pull myself together.
Oh well. Ganbatte...

I can still hear her say...

2009-10-09T22:13:00.000+08:00

So hi people.
I've been emoing a lot recently, so I didn't update my blog. Sorry. > <
I'm just going through a rough time in school. Hell, my entire group is going through a tough time in school. What with "I HAD A TOUGH CHILDHOOD OHNOEZ PITY MEEEEEEZ" and the breaking down and the crying and the pissed off me screaming so loud that Karl Ann heard me across the canteen.
And the rats. Loads and loads of rats.
Plus, doctor thinks I may have a psychological problem. Because I'm upset and (unconsciously) suppressing my emotions, it comes out as another form of pain. Or something like that.
Bah. Adverse side effect of being the permanent actress I am.
Come to think of it, does anyone here know my true self? Other than my family and I of course. I guess you wouldn't - I've been acting ever since the end of P3. I should be good enough now that nobody knows who I am, deep down inside.

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

Exams end Wednesday. Should I organise an outing? What if they come along too? I don't want everybody to suffer because of two miserable people who feed off our good emotions. It's horrible, treating everyday like another day at war. Fending off the vampiric spells of the two who seek to suck us all dry and then toy with our souless and lifeless bodies.

It's horrible.

I feel so hollow. So empty.

Why did I let myself believe miracles could happen?

2009-10-08T15:28:00.000+08:00

A mixture of good things and bad things. More bad things than good.
Sigh. Oh well. Exams end next Wednesday, and I get days off on Thurs and Fri.

What They Said, a performance poem. [Written by yours truly]

2009-09-30T16:11:00.000+08:00

Parents and teachers,
Our seniors in age
But now we are doubting their mental state
All the time they nag and scold,
Just like ALL seniors – or so we are told.
Each of us here has a tale to tell
Of parents, teachers and whether they’re well.

Is this your room or a dustbin?
A pigsty perhaps?
But then when I clean it
You stop, stare and gasp.
“Are you MENTAL?!”
You cry.
“Are you losing your head?”
But you told me to clean it! That’s what you said!

And then stuck in traffic, here’s what you say;
“*******! ********! *******!” [censored]
Every single day.
I’ve told you this once, and I’ll tell you again –
THEY CAN’T EVEN HEAR YOU! Are you going insane?

And here are some lines from our “inspiring” teachers
Whose words sometimes make us doubt whose teaching us.
A fishball memory?
Pin up a non-existent fringe?
Relax, meditate. Take a deep breath.
Hello, G2? Anyone there?

“Go work!”
“Revise!”
“Don’t slouch! Sit up straight!”
“Don’t laze about! Revise!” you say!
Even when you predict that I’ll drop out of school,
We just want you to know
That you guys are still cool.

So sick...

2009-09-21T15:10:00.000+08:00

I'm sick and tired of it all.
Why do I even bother with it?
Trying to be nice.
Trying not to yell.
Acting all the time.
Who am I, really?

Hi. I hate you. 8D

2009-09-19T17:45:00.000+08:00

I'm sick and tired of it all.

Why can't you get it in your thick skull?

WE REALLY REALLY WANT YOU TO LEAVE US ALONE, AND WE WOULD DEEPLY APPRECIATE IT.

I hope that - if you find this - you aren't thickskinned enough to come up and ask me who I'm talking about.

The picture is self-explanatory

Once Upon a Time

2009-09-18T16:33:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Nicole.
She was betrayed by friends in primary school, but she naively believed that things would change.
Her hopes were shredded and trampled on.
Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Nicole.
Now that girl is gone.
