Come Josephine in my flying machine

Hmm, I suddenly remember some things. Like how during Infocomm Orientation I was talking to Sze Ning and she asked me why I spoke so fast, and I ended up telling her that I didn't speak fast, and she told me I spoke fast, while speaking to me at the same speed that I was. Which she says it's due to the fact that she has to speak like that to understand me, which makes a little sense. Only a little. And although staff says I don't speak quickly, Sze Ning tells me I speak quickly and she says staff doesn't speak quickly. So I was thinking, wait, what?

MY GOD I JUST SPENT THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON SLICING APART SONGS AND PUTTING THEM TOGETHER AGAIN UGHHHHHHHHH COMMONWEALTH ESSAY.

IWBA, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW. And that's why the WB stands for 'will be', which goes to imply that it's in the future. Now is not the future. Which is why we will need IIA, where I will stand for 'is'. One day. One day it'll come true.

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away

The sun comes up in China, The lights go on in Rome, oh

It feels kind of weird that when I read other people's blogs, they're all so... non-specific and it makes me feel so glaringly obvious and the fact that I almost sort of give everything into this blog makes me imagine myself in neon green and orange and pink in the middle of a crowd of people in black and white with a spotlight shining at me.

... ooh, four line rant.

Anyway, today was class lunch, and Mrs Wong sponsored us Pizza Hut. It was quite good. Well, I mean, what can I say? I learnt more about some of my classmates today than I have in eight weeks. I miss 209'10 a lot. Seriously. The class dynamics were a lot different from right now and I feel so awkward in 301 because heck I am generally an awkward person. I also miss having conversations with Julia and Ka Ying and Ker Rui and Louise and Yee Ting and occasionally Joelle Chong like our last year Mid Year Exams (remember geog blocks!) and geesh everything. I also miss lower sec a lot.

I feel kind of insecure, in a sense.

Like, IWBA...

Right?

P.S.
WHAT THE HELL I WANT TO BE 160 LIKE RIGHT NOW D: THAT IS JUST UNFAIRRRRRR. (I am 158.5! SO CLOSE YET SO FAR ):.)

And the wind blows Through an empty hall

I recall seeing the name Candice Bergen around somewhere recently, and the first thing I thought was, "isn't that who Pal Shazar once described Michael Steele to be 'similar in profile' to?" And then I went to check and then GUESS WHAT IT WAS RIGHT. I had a good laugh.

Anyway! Am attempting to do SS now, but I don't understand how I am supposed to write my essay and how I am supposed to 'define the meaning of undermine' or something like that. TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.

Also, I find it very very amusing how people always think of 'bisexual' as 'gay', because, they are completely different and it's just so amusing and gah I swear something is wrong with me. Too little sleep perhaps? (To add on to that, "saucier" is not a word you generally would use to describe... basically anything, actually.)

My internet is being crappy to me. Die, computer.

Edit: and omg I just saw the dumbest thing ever WHY THE HELL DID MY FRIEND SEND IT TO ME?!

When you held me last night Were your words really real

Because sometimes, you just need something to believe in.

And sometimes, you just need that confirmation.

For english we did some 6 word thing (you know, the "your love story in six words" thing).
So, I said, "it's you that I dream of", which is from Summer Rain, or anyway, the first line of the chorus (where it goes "Oh my love, it's you that I dream of").

Also, as a footnote:
Memorise Specs Creed.
WELL. (I SERVE WITH PRIDE AND DEDICATION is six words too!)

Are you just using me Or do you feel like I feel

DO YOU FEEL LIKE I FEEL!

Okay that was random.

I am trying to persuade myself that I will be better, and everything, jeez. Also, I am trying to persuade myself that IWBA.

(It will be, right?)

You and I on runaway horses, Ooh, baby hold on tight

I liked training today, weirdly enough. It was like, well good. I like theory. It's something that's nice and definite. Also shermaine and I were leading the run today and it was pretty epic because, well, you know.

I think I'm succeeding in a few of my new year's resolutions.
1) To smile more
2) To laugh more
3) To learn to get over things faster

(I am also proud of myself for memorizing four things today! And that's just for NCC.)

The night that we fell under the spell of the moon

Okay today was freestyle. I mean, there's only so much we can say about it right?

And anyway this is damn screwed but ARGH I AM BLOODY ANNOYED (yes kaiyan, WTC!) because it applies so much-ishly.

ALSO, I FOUND OUT THE OXIDATION STATE OF RHENIUM IN RHENIUM DIBORIDE I AM HAPPY! It's rhenium (IV), by the way. And the same goes for rhenium with oxygen and rhenium with sulfur too.

I listen to the radio, All the songs we used to know

Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers -
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price - almost free

All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted; it's really just a question of your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity

Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price - almost free

"For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall and concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen."

Today, was epic. Because. I was chatting with this guy (or girl, I don't know) on omegle about marvel comics.
And he/she went like "Do you read X-Men?" So I told him/her yes, and asked which was his/her favourite story arc, and his/her favourite characters.

And he/she told me Wolvie, Scott and Betsy, and they loved the Planet X storyline. It was pretty amusing because, really, Wolvie, Scott and Betsy? They're all so different! And then they asked me the same questions, so I said Emma, Ororo and Raven Darkholme, plus I think the Phoenix story arcs and Divided We Stand are good. So this person was like, Emma, Ororo, and Mystique?! And I went "yup." Gosh, it was so funny when it actually happened. I'm a terrible narrator.

And yes, ruitong, you should never say anything you don't mean in front of me. Or behind, for that matter.

ALSO, ZOO ANIMALS ♥♥. And yes, I do have a reason for saying that.

As a footnote for staff if you're reading this (I have reason to think that you are, by the way), THEY SAID IT WAS CATERPILLAR CRAWL, AND NEVER MENTIONED WORM. ._. But anyway the point is that even if it is phased out, it still did/does exist. JEEZ.

Oh and yeah my torrents are finally being slightly faster I am secretly quite happy, but. Also, my sister has finally decided to learn how to play card games and I am happy because now I will have someone to play with! And I have two new decks of cards and I love them. :D

Okay freestyle tomorrow and heck, I don't understand anything. I'm going to die, thank you.

Oh I'm in love, oh I'm in deep

I think, I love my cousins forever. No, really.

It's like, especially on my mother's side, the age gap between my cousins and I can be freaking huge, because I'm the youngest, and my oldest cousin is ten years younger than my mum. So when ever we all go out together people think that we're like some large dysfunctional family. Which is kind of strange, because people automatically assume we're a nuclear family, and we're like NO WAY IN HELL, THEY'RE MY COUSINS. And the best thing about this is that we all have the same mock-horrified look on our faces when we say this, so it's just kind of amusing.

Also, it's kind of amusing how people describe (and compare, even) Mick Jagger and Belinda Carlisle, because I've heard people say that they both look like anorexic monkeys. And still.

OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION. I earned eighty bucks yesterday playing poker with five of my cousins! I was just damn lucky with a royal flush and three other people with all in. :D

I DINNAE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EMAIL IS ABOUT ARGH D: Never mind! I will ask someone to ask so as to attempt to make my life easier, and I'm supposed to be doing homework now argh bye!

[Edit: I NEED A NEW SKIN. A white one this time, please, and plainer, no navigations.

Also, I wanted to say that people put too much emphasis on goodbyes. Sometimes not saying goodbye means that things won't be resolved, and sometimes you just don't want them to be resolved. Goodbye ends it all and it's just like not giving yourself and the other person a chance. There's still a possibility, right? When you end it, you denounce that possibility and make it final. So saying goodbye is like ending your possibility of your own volition.

As a final note, I notice I end up typing much more than I actually intend to in the /edit sections or the footnotes, which is kind of scary, but not really I guess since I tend to ramble on and on and have long run on sentences such as this. /BREATHES]

Oh my love it's you that I dream of

I hate how people throw around words that mean the world to other people. Words like 'I love you'. You can say that to someone and not mean it, but when you leave that person feels the whole world crashing down on them because of your insincerity. So what can I say, don't use words like that, that mean something important to the ones of the receiving end of them, easily.

And that was basically what I wanted to say.

Also that I have busted about an eighth of my SMSes for the month today, in about four hours or so. It doesn't matter so long as it isn't everyday, actually.

[edit: Also, I just saw the line 'It's just another Manic Monday' somewhere and suddenly Manic Monday is on autoplay and loop in my head ARGHHHH. Also, as a side note to my post, I don't believe in true love or even uncoditional friendship for that matter. Yes, I know, I am cynical.

... to add on and be random, I'm now absolutely convinced that freestyle drill is the most ridiculous and lamest thing that's ever happened to us this year, because, hell yeah, it's just hilarious and EVERYTHING.]

The helpless heart just can't resist their power

Inform 7 is really informative.

As in, you specify place. then you specify directions and axes relative to everywhere else. Then you specify stuff in room. Then you give description of room. Then you give description of stuff.

...something like that, or at least theoretically anyway.

And no, I am not in Math RA. No way in hell am I in Math RA. I'm kind of, how should I put this, averse to Math. Maybe because of the terrible teachers I've gotten so far, but really, jeez. Chem is more my type! Because Science is so awesome.

-copied, pasted, and edited from my lj-

Staff says I speak at a normal speed. I mean, finally! Someone tells me I don't speak too fast!

Today, we had freestyle. It was epicly hilarious, because by some weird coincidence I realized I live quite near Vivian. It's kind of creepy. And ohmygod my head is spammed with arm movements which I sure as heck can't remember. And anyway YES OMFG I REMEMBERED IT. It is one heck long string of movements. But I can't do it fast enough Miracle is way to fast. People are going to tell me to practice._.

Oh and yes staff: People in front, don't turn around. Look at the people beside you. Use the side of your ears.
Then she pauses for a while before noticing she said ears.
Staff: NO NO NOT EARS I MEAN EYES EYES EYES. THE SIDE OF YOUR EYES.

To think that I even thought Love Like This was fast in the first place. D}: < Compared to Miracle I am screwed over by about a million times or something, I swear.

Oh and slow marching. I keep on feeling like falling over. It's like forward, 2, 3, down, next, 6, 7, down, etc. That's how it sounds like in my head! I will probably end up walking like that tommorrow in HPPS just to practise. Hurhur.

WE ARE ALMOST REACHING THE END! :D Hooray! But Freestyle is on 12 Feb (it was pushed up by a lot from March) which for some reason sounds like a really familiar date but I DON'T KNOW WHY.

-end of excerpt-

Anyway I am off to play Interactive Fiction so I can get ideas for stories for my RS project if Ngee Ann accepts us! :D Anyone can suggest a good biochem project? I need one just in case the IF one doesn't get accepted and we do have a pretty good guarantee to get a mentor if we do biochem, because Esabella's cousin's fiancé is in the biochem department and he can probably get his colleagues to mentor us... right?

Edit: I use my LJ for rants. And private stuff for platoonmates. WHICH IS WHY I AM BEGGING YOU NOT TO STALK ME PLEASE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Oh, and xiaoyun? I was reading your lj old post and I want to say this, I REFUSE TO LET GO I WILL CLING ON AND I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE DISSUADE ME ABOUT SO. Because you see, it has changed. It's changed to a more... dampened (?) thing. I guess it's all a part of growing up, but you know, dolphin will always have a special place in my heart.
