I SAW THIS SUPER HOT GUY AT MACS. Faints. Amirah and I were crapping away, when this SUPER HOT GUY came past our table, and I don't know what the hell he was doing, but he picked up my milo, and shook it. OMG. He's so cuteeee! We all want a piece of him. And what's more? He's a musician. -faints.
According to Edwin, he's very guai lan. But it's all right, he was cute. It made up for everything! (: And no, the milo did not boil due to his hotness. Edwin, let's see you vapourise the milo!
Was burning three candles a few minutes ago. Felt a little down so I decided to just watch it burn. Believe it or not, the candles were actually talking to me.
I think I managed to capture nice shots when the candle was just about to die out. The pictures tell my story. If you don't get it. Nevermind. And the candle dies.
Here's my point of view about this really sticky and complicated issue on homosexuality. Right now, I speak from an ordinary teenager's point of view. If my 18 April post had led you to question my orientation, question no further. I'm just a crush-less teenager.
If teenagers were to say "I'm a homosexual." Can you trust it? Can you doubtlessly accept that statement? Not me.
Under what circumstances do teenagers have a right to say "It doesn't matter. And I love him/her." Are we mature enough, have we seen the world and lived through everything the society has to offer us?
Many of the older ones say, "Don't worry, they'll grow out of it." And I agree with that.
Homosexuality has developed into a trend in many schools all across Singapore (even in co-ed schools), and it is, definitely without a doubt, a growing trend. This 'homosexuality' might or might not last. It really depends.
Looking at this from a much 'older' and assumably wiser point-of-view, there are much more things to deal with.
If you've read The Straits Times (Home section) on Monday. Homosexuality: Govt not moral police but it's mindful of people's concerns.
(Clip above) I quote MM Lee Kuan Yew, "Singapore needs a practical and pragmatic approach and adjust without upsetting segments of society and their sense of propriety of what is right and wrong." "If in fact it is true, and I have asked doctors this, that you are genetically born a homosexual - because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes - you can't help it. So why should we criminalise it?"
The ministry of Home Affairs said homosexuality was not widely accepted here, but added that it would not be 'proactive' in enforcing this law against consensual acts that take place in private.
I've heard many adults around me talking about this issue, maybe because I'm surrounded by adults who LOVE to talk about current issues. They talk about how they have really TALENTED open homosexuals in their office, and they're really FUN to be with.
I've interviewed 60 people aged 16 to 29. All with different backgrounds and religions. The mode age was 19. And through this, we can see that society is absolutely more liberal than before, where people are (allow me to use chinese) 老化.
These homosexuals, too, are just human. We perceive them to be 'freaks of nature' just because they don't think the way society terms as 'accepted'.
Don't we realise that they have talents too? They might just very well be one of the future leaders of Singapore. When we reject them, they flee elsewhere where they will seek for that acceptance. We are losing TALENTS. All because we don't advocate their decision to be a homosexual.
Some people are ultimately disgusted by these homosexuals. Could it be because of the association we have for gay behaviour with some sort of bad undisciplined unconservative behaviour similar to drug abuse??
However, I also believe that no one wants to voluntarily emerge as an outcast of society. No one deserves to be treated abnormally because of who he or she is. Let's look at it this way. In Singapore today, if a child was disowned because she happened to be born female, a huge hullabaloo will occur. After all, she was "born that way". Yet it is not unheard of for many gay Singaporeans to have been threatened with tears and emotional blackmail after "coming out" to their familes. Numerous counselling sessions. Trying to find out the "cause" of their homosexuality. Trying to change them, to remove them from the "perversion".
It's really up to one to decide what's right, or not so right. I make no decision for you.
I thank YouTube for their videos. And the 60 youth I've interviewed.
SMSS CHOIR. You guys taught me something that I could never have learned elsewhere, and that is, trust.
To the choir, although I've been with you guys for less than 2 years, I've seen us grow together, musically, spiritually, and mentally. You know it, I know it.
Silver. It's just an award. Deep down. It's the gold we deserve.
Dream on choir! Make us proud the next SYF. Make us proud.
We've made the BEST MUSIC today. I simply can't thank you guys enough. For giving me that gift.
"Where there is charity and Love, God is there." Ubi caritas et amor.
The word 'evolution' reminds me of Biology, and how natural selection is the consequence of evolution.
In 1999, BLOGGING was such a huge hit. Everyone wanted to know what you did today.
"This morning, I ate a blueberry waffle my mommy made. It was awesome!"
In 2004, PHOTOBLOGGING was the in thing.
"AH! Look at my wonderful blueberry waffle! Look at that rich filling!"
In 2005, YouTube came into our lives!
"Whoo! Look at the video of my mom making the blueberry waffle! She was so nice to give me extra filling!"
Right now, 2007, we have Twitter!
"09.08am: I was hungry. I begged my mom to make me some breakfast." "09.13am: My mom finally agreed." "09.20am: I can nearly taste the waffle. SO CLOSE." "09.27am: Yay! The waffle is right in front of me now." "09.28am: I've taken the first bite. HEAVENLY."
I think I'm still living in 2004. Haven't really gotten into the habit of making videoposts. And what's worse. I can't sit myself down the entire day, and update every single minute what I'm up to.
12midnight: I'm really sleepy now. 12.01am: Oh man, I need to sleep. 12.02am: Please save me, I can't go on like this.
Q: What does a Career Guidance fair do to a student?
A: Make them study overnight, and realise that the Os are coming.
SAJC VP, Miss Mabel Chia, came down to speak to us, promote SAJC a little. I FELT BRAINWASHED. It's all right, I'm going to get my 6 points, and I'm going to CJC.
But shit, at the back of my head. That little voice screams to me: AC. SA. Anything but CJ.
YEP. The big O is coming. Chinese particularly. I'm going to get a BIG FAT F.
School today was pretty fine, other than the fact I wanted to cry during my Chemistry practical... I was just so sick of washing test tubes with precipitates that were so stubborn. ESPECIALLY IRON (III) PRECIPITATE.
Enough of that shit. I managed to get some Ben & Jerry's ice cream! Went down with Chloe And Ethel!
Mann, the queue was long, I waited.... And waited.. Nearly there.
And I FINALLY GOT MY CHUNKY MONKEY (: I didn't wait forever. I waited for 4 minutes and 38 seconds (yes, I timed the queue)
Awesome flavour. And, guess what? My friend was at the cashier, AND she gave me an ULTRA HUGE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM (:
And a picture speaks a thousand words. BOY WAS IT YUMMY.
Ice cream wasn't enough, wanted to eat the donuts at the Donut Factory, but decided against it. Queue was WAY TOO LONG. Ate at Chippy's! (:
There's free Ben & Jerry's TMR! Join them at 8 selected Scoop Shops for free cones on *Tuesday, 17th April from 12nn-7pm. - White Sands - Downtown East - Vivo City - United Square (Opp Toys R Us) - Suntec City *(Tower 4) - Great World City - The Cathay *(there'll be live bands!!) - Raffles City
If a single serving doesn't deliver enough of a sugar rush, join the queue again for seconds or thirds!! (I think it SHOULD BE POSSIBLE)
It's to say thanks to loyal fans, spread awareness about taking care of the environment, and raise funds for charity.
I'm not going to be neutral, neither am I going to be pro-government and go "All Hail PAP".
Coming from a below average income family like mine, seeing all this shit about the pay hike just twists the knife in the wound.
This is what I can envisage them saying in their minds.
"WE, the government of Singapore truly care about you."
"WE, the government of Singapore have been working EXTREMELY hard in an attempt to narrow down the growing income gap. WE have faced many obstacles and difficulties along the way. In the end, we have decided to increase the G.S.T. by 2% to aid the narrowing of the growing income gap. Also, after the G.S.T. rise, we have also decided to have a pay hike for civil servants. And I'm proud to announce that the income gap between us and the top earners such as the doctors and lawyers has been narrowed. Who says we don't care about the widening income gap?"
I DID IT. I studied for a SOLID SEVEN HOURS in the cold blistering library. Managed to complete some Biology and Chemistry.
Ha, now you teachers can't say stop wasting time blogging can you?!
Anyway, met up with Daryl to study, he left early. He probably was too cold or too tired or something like that. Used him as a subject to improve on my camera shots. HELLO. *Blur* He's so fascinated with his bandages looking like a watch and a ring. I drew that retarded watch by the way.
Oh yes, Legion meeting in the morning was heartening. Many people came for meeting. And I made everyone do stupid things.
If you've been to Raffles City Marketplace, you might have seen a donut shop with a SUPER LONG QUEUE. Well, I'm really craving for a donut from that place NOW.
And I like the view at esplanade (took it last week)!
Right now, I'm awfully tempted to just rant on about how time flies, and how much we've not used our time well to study or do the things we resolved to do every new year. But what's done is done. What do we do? Sit there, cry like a baby, and suck our thumbs/toes?
一寸光阴，一寸金。 寸金难卖，寸光阴。 My mom used to tell me that when I was much younger.
Many teachers have brought this up in class, many might have taken it as a passing remark, but it hits me pretty hard every single time they say it.
''Girls, you should start studying. Don't waste your time, on the internet, chatting on msn, watching television, or BLOGGING!''.
It's not just blogging. It's a form or self expression, it's an art. It's BLOGGING.
Daohui brought it up in class: If teachers have always encouraged us students to keep a journal/diary. Why then can't we keep on online journal? Oh, the irony.
It's 12.40 a.m. now, so technically it's Sunday. I've been sleeping the entire time ever since I came back from choir yesterday. Woke up at around 11pm, I've been mugging.... Till right about NOW.
I was just looking through all my post labels, and I saw the magical word... "SHOPPING". It has definitely been a long time since I went shopping. Looks like I won't have the time to do so until the exams are over.
List of things to shop for: 1. A new top from Forever21. 2. A new bag from ____(Don't know where yet). (I realised that everyone started buying Zinc bags after I blogged about it. OH MAN) 3. Pasta, sauces, ingredients.
That's about it, should be around 70 bucks. Just earn the cash through tuition or something.
You must be wondering why the hell I put so many letter "S"s at the end of the word 'day'.
Had a really long day today, left school at about 7.30pm. And I've been leaving school around the same time every single day for this entire week. Not very interesting but oh well.
The days may be long, but since I've got a new camera, my days are never boring! Been snapping away at everything I find interesting.
Had choir gown fitting just now, which is pretty much why school ended so late for me today.
My brother came down to my school just now, and I was so bored while everyone was getting their uniform altered by my mommy (my mom's the tailor by the way).
Went to school with the most retarded hair EVER. Never kept hair any longer than this before by the way. No particular reason for posting this picture, felt bored, and decided to cam whore a little.
By the way, above's a picture my retarded fringe that I cut not too long ago.
The picture's a little blur. Can you guess what it is???
It's vapourised Iodine extracted from Potassium Iodide with an Organic solvent (Carbon Tetrachloride a.k.a. Tetrachloromethane). The vapourised Iodine looked so squishy.... SO CUTE. Thanks PAM! For the awesome green background. For sacrificing your skirt (:
Too bad it's a really bad picture.
I LOVE WEDNESDAYS. We get to play with chemicals all the time. (:
School was quite fun today! The feeling of slack-i-ness was looming around, so it was quite safe to be happy-go-lucky today. Finally, A SLACK DAY.
Yeps, I didn't do my English weekend homework (along with a whole bunch of others), so we all got sent out of class to complete it. WE WERE RACING AGAINST TIME. No joke man.
Had elective Geog common test, think I can do quite well. Was tested on Environmental Management, one of my more passionate areas of study. Yes, I actually like to recycle. B3 at least? Considering I didn't study much.
Stayed in school till about 7pm. Was mugging real hard. Yeah, exams coming. BO BIAN (english: NO CHOICE) Haha, I didn't pose for this picture ah! But it's quite interesting, I actually look quite retarded writing with my left hand. Recessive genes.
I'm into the mood of studying already! (: Have you guys gotten into the mood too?
I love my aunt to the MAXIMUM. And I can't describe how fun she is. HIP, COOL, and PURE FUN. Went over to my grandma's house for lunch, and cam-whored a little. These pictures were taken using the Sony Cybershot DSC-W70.
