& That great wall of resolve which I took years to build infront of myself is now being taken apart brick by brick. Now, I can look over this wall of mine. (And I'm pretty short too) What I see is not those beautiful gardens they describe. Instead, I see barren land with no vegetation.Today was a bad day.
Anyway thank you WenMan for the Mika CD (:

Well hello, holidays have been unproductive. So much for my sickening schedule which I didn't stick to so well yeeeah. It's saturday and school reopens the day after tomorrow.
): (: :?
Spent tonight watching Tuck Everlasting, I couldn't resist. Y'know, I've always wondered why guys with blue eyes are always so good looking. I wonder if I should watch Bruce Almighty tomorrow, tempting, but I know I really shouldn't. Urgh I don't know.
MEP Practical on Monday ):
Violin exam 26-8
=
18 days away ):
End of years 27-8
=
19 days away ):
I think I won't be blogging much when school reopens. I should ban myself from the computer some time soon though I just can't bear to do it. Alright, back to Physics.
To hear your voice above the noise,
& know that I'm not alone.

I was so sick of studying. You know, when you try your best and yet you see no results? I've done like don'tknowhowmany chinese cloze passages (Okay 19 to be exact) and yet I fail or barely pass them still. What's more, I don't do them for the sake of doing them. I check up the words, find out their meaning, differentiate the different options etc. Yeah fine whatever, say goodbye to A for Chinese Os :/
Anyway I was looking for inspiration in this 7 habits of highly effective teens book, and I saw this poem. Well, it's not inspirational but it really reflects the prejudices in our world.
The Cold WithinSix humans trapped by happenstance, in bleak and bitter cold,
Each one possessed a stick of wood, or so the story's told.
Their dying fire in need of logs, the first man held his back,
For of the faces 'round the fire, he noticed one was black.
The next man looking 'cross the way saw one not of his church,
And couldn't bring himself togive the fire his stick of birch.
The third one say in tattered clothes, he gave his coat a hitch,
Why should his log be put to use to warm the idle rich?
The rich man just sat back and thought of the wealth he had in store,
And how to keep what he had earned from the lazy, shiftless poor.
The black man's face bespoke revenge as the fire passed from sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood was a chance to spite the white.
The last man of this forlorn group did naught except for gain,
Giving only to those who gave was how he played the game.
Their logs held tight in death's still hand was proof of human sin,
They didn't die from cold without - they died from cold within.Okay I'm going to play badminton now, am so going to make sure I study when I get back.

Crap it's tuesday already and all I've got done are my physics worksheets and chinese newspaper review >:( I have no self-discipline and I totally keep digressing. But I'll fall asleep without music (which unfortunately has to come from my laptop, I don't have a mp3) and who can resist the temptation of the internet?
& now I'm contemplating whether I should go for the primary gathering on friday or punish myself by cooping myself up at home.
Nevermind, I'll plan what I have to do this week:
Wednesday:- History chapter 2
- SS homework
- 5 Chinese cloze passages
Thursday:- Geography *Plate Tectonics
- Geography TYS
- Geography WB (Rivers)
[I am really cruel to myself /:]
Friday:- Chemistry *AcidsBases&Salts
- 2 Chinese cloze passages
- Physics *Light
Saturday:- Geography *Weather&Climate
- 3 Chinese cloze passages
- MEP homework
Sunday:- File all worksheets / handouts / notes / homework
- FOR GOODNESS SAKE JESSICA DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR VIOLIN >:(
- DON'T NEGLECT PIANO; PREPARE REPERTOIRE!
I feel much better now, let's see how long I can stick to this schedule. Got a premonition that I won't last further than wednesday though /: Oh well whatever.
I'm everything I am,
Because you loved me;

There was no school yesterday due to massive power failure hahaha. So I went to Amanda's at like an ungodly hour of 7.15am, to "study". In the end I just sat on her bed and browsed through her books :D I suggested neatening up her room for her! But stupid Amanda insisted it was
homey to have your room
messy.
Then we took bus to school to meet WengJun & then went to the playground where there were SWINGS! Teehee, then we walked a really long distance to get to the prata shop ast Upper Pierce. Can you imagine, from StNicks to upper pierce! Cassandra, I swear I'll take a bus there next time :D Anyway prata was good, shared a really
cheesy cheese prata with Cassandra and stole a sausage from WenMan's sausage&cheese prata (: Thank god, we took the bus back to AMK hub. I got the inspirational cards (I couldn't find inspirational posters. But I guess these will do) for JoHsi Joey and _____! Anyway yesterday was a fun day
but I was a naughty girl and didn't do any work at all >:(Went to my aunt's house after AMK hub, and I was recommended this
"A Knight in Shining Armour" book. I was really skeptical about it at first, I'm not accustomed to reading romance books, I think them useless. But I read it anyway, it was better than doing physics worksheets! It was really sweet, and now I know where Clown gets her tears from hahaha.
Somehow I don't know why, what really drew me in was that the characters were associated with Elizabethan history (=> stuff about Queen Mary & Queen Elizabeth I) I really like Elizabethan history, is there such a field of profession? Anyway, it was a good read, I took the entire day to read it. If you're interested, it's by Jude Deveraux I think.
I woke up to the sound of my brother annoucing that it's
pig-out-as-a-family-day today hahahaha. So we went to IMM and ate korean cuisine! We attempted to shop for clothes after that, but all of us weren't interested.
Hahaha, sister suggested going to Giant for food, and it was a huge success :D In view of the fact that we'll probably be stuck at home for the entire week of holidays, my brother and I totally helped ourselves to the food. Look what I have to eat while I study for the week:
- 30 small packets of Cheese Rings
- 4 chocolate doughnuts
- 1 tub of chocolate icecream
- >6 croissants
- 1 bottle of peach tea
- 1 pack of tapioca chips
- 1 seafood pizza
- 1 chicken sausage pizza
Okay forget it, I shall just put ETCETRA.
Total amounted to $8_.92 :)
There's 13 going on 30 later, I'm so going to watch it yay (: But I must finish my SS chapter2 mindmap first. I think this is a very long post.
You said it was okay, you know I did my best. I didn't expect that from you, but I'm sorry I'm such a disgrace. Why don't you yell at me, I think it's better off that way. Much better than sitting in a little corner at night thinking that you're the worst ____ on earth. It's my fault, not yours, I'm sorry.
