How unlucky can unlucky get?! i'm not supposed to be blogging because tomorrow's my el + cl P1. but i've already studied and now i'm waiting for dinner.after those papers, i have normal lessons for the whole of next week before the start of the mid-yrs next monday.
so...why the title,you may ask. this morning i was rushing my tuition work because i had a three-hour a-math-chemistry tuition marathon later. i was gonna refill my correction tape for the exam tomorrow. and you know how sharp the edges of a correction tape are. it was stuck so i pulled and pulled and suddenly my hand slipped and i cut it on the sharp edge. i didn't even realise it. it was only when i saw that my correction tape cover was smudged with blood that i looked at my fingers. i plastered it up. so, the point is, HOW are i going to speed-write tomorrow? and WHY did this have to happen on today,of all days? bad luck has befallen me.
anyways, i haven't managed to keep to my study schedule. today after tuition i went to kovan to change my calculator's battery. when i returned home, i went downstairs to study. all in all, i changed the venue thrice. those kids are really noisy.
so..mid-years. not as important os prelims, but would you forgive yourself if you failed to perform to the best of your abilities? so its mugmugmug. then make or break.
ciao! your super cool friend, Clara.

after so long, i'm back!! but they say absence makes the heart fonder. how true.
mid-years are 2 weeks from now. and yes,i am intending to mug real hard. my wish: to be right behind the china scholars, breathing down their necks. (in position,i mean.) 2 weeks.many subjects. and the race begins now.
so i'll be taking an on-off hiatus from blogging until the mid-years are over. i may come here to destress sometimes though. (and that means angry,loud posts.) seriously,there's no point in blogging when i'm tired and stressed out. i'm sure you all want funny,intellectual posts. and also you'll all be studying too so no-one will be reading anyway.
but if you do pop in for a visit, do remember to tag. i love it when people tag. it makes me feel loved.
i'm kind of sick right now, raging flus coming and going.
my desired outcome of the 'O's is to go to Temasek Polytechnic and study media communications and management. and,unfortunately,i have no Plan B. so its make or..break.
i'm gonna study now! see you all after the 11th of may. you all had better come back!! i do promise that i will post maybe.. 2 times during this hiatus?
till we meet again, clara xoxoxo (what are you still doing here?GO MUG NOW!!!)

i apologise for the vulgarity of this otherwise wonderfully meaningful song. i guess i have been used to the safe, censored version in singapore. i cringe everytime i hear a foul word. haha.
today has been a long day and i'm absolutely beat.these few nights i've been sleeping at 11+. its doing me no good at all. anyways, today was the combined sports meet between temasek,chung cheng high main,dunman high and ngee ann. the weather was really cool today. the only problem was that it was drizzling occasionally. school began as normal. at 10 45,we were dismissed and we were given till 12 45 to have our lunch and reach Lakeside mrt. when i heard the location i was thinking what the hell? i've never even heard of such a station before. it turns out to be the 2nd last stop on the east-west line. the stadium's seats were wet. thank goodness i had chinese newspaper with me. so flornce and i tore a section into half and sat on it. it turned out that were sitting on the obituary page. many people were poking fun at us. heh. for once, i cheered for my school. i mean.its the last year. so i screamed my lungs out. i doubt i'll be able to speak tomorrow.
the whole thing was finally done at 6 15pm. imagine that. then hh,mingyue,phoebe,raymond,florence and i decided to go to jurong point for a quick bite. we waited for the bus.and waited.and waited. after such a long time, we decided to walk to the nearest mrt station. halfway through,we finally caught a bus to jurong point. we ate there then florence and i left for home. it took us both about an hour on the train. the nearest mrt station to jurong point was Boon Lay. and that's the last station on the east-west line! i think that if i never went for this sports day, i would not ever discover this part of singapore.
my dad picked me at at the pick up point at hougang station. i had a sudden craving for bubble tea so i went to buy lychee ice from sweet talk. its awesome! alright...gonna shower soon.. Happy Good Friday in advance!! Clara. xoxoxo
why am i always able to single you out in a crowd?

helloo. its been too long! there're so many things that i'm thankful for :the 2.4km run is postponed to next week so i can practise more, the geography test today was purely common sense(i didn't study) and english vocab test is postponed! and much more.
since my previous post was kinda emo, i shall deal with something light-hearted today. btw,i'm currently hooked onto jason mraz's geek in the pink and under pressure by the used ft my chemical romance, two awesome bands. anyway,today's post will be circulated around a belief: When you have been around a person or animal for too long,you look like him/her/it. is it true? the truth is,i have no answers. but i'll try to rationalise it out. i'm supposed to be doing my homework now. uugh.procrastinate,procrastinate. what you can do tomorrow,don't do today. so anyway,evidence. couples look alike, pet owners look like their pets, and this certain uncle who sells fish soup looks like a sea bass.honestly. and recently.. my aunt and my best friend said that i look like rainbow. geez..really?! i don't think so.... but take a look anyway: http://www.parrots-at-play.org/images/MrApr04.gif oh my. an entertaining thought nonetheless. i look like a bird. wait that doesn't sound right.
personally,i don't think that this saying is true. my reasoning is that when two people or whatever other combination have been together for a long time, people begin to associate them as an item. more as a 'we' instead of'him and her' or 'him and it'. get what i mean? so that could be why others think they look alike. because somewhere in their brain they have begun to see the pair as an item. does that make sense? i hope so. of course,in life, due to the sheer number of 'pairs',there will definitely be some coincidences. such as this: http://www.redwoodcoasthumane.org/images/KoolSun.jpg i think they do bear a resemblance. but of course, there may be people who select pets/partners who look like themselves, because they would be comfortable around the other party. that is also a possibility. we often feel most comfortably around ourselves. hence,the choice.
here's a nice quote i saw outside of a church: Strength in prayer is more important than length in prayer.agree?
gonna sleep soon. you should see my dark circles. clara.
will there ever be a time just right for love at first sight?

friday night. possibly my favourite time of the week. its been a trying one,too. physics test and chinese test. i have so much on my mind right now, but i'll try to put it all down in words yea?
the first thing i really wanna get off my chest. i absolutely loathe my air rifle coach. today was supposedly florence and mines' last air rifle session. and somehow, before the session, i kept playing with these words in my mind. 'and she just had to make the last session the worst.' and it came true. you see, we were sitting down there waiting for our turn. we had to leave by 4 as we had something up. however,due to a late dismissal, we had no choice but to sign up for detail 2. so..we waited and waited and waited. coach told us to follow the sec 1's schedule. the sec 4s and 3s were taking an extremely long time to complete their rounds. so at 3 55,florence and i had to leave. we didn't want to tell coach, we just wanted to walk out and rub our names off the board. but in the end we decided to tell her. and guess what? she scolded us until......... everyone was looking at us. she was like accusing us of stupid little things. she complained that we were reading (too intellectual for you,hag?) and that florence was listening to the radio. (er,hello.underground.no tranmission.so--no radio.dummy) and we even said that we would replace back this session on tuesday or monday. but right now i'm so pissed that i never want to see her again. ever.so goodbye and good riddance you scummy freak.
there.that felt really good.
mid-year exams are just round the corner. and i promise,i really wanna do well, like top 10 in class,behind the scholars. but somehow there's just no time to study.seriously. its not an excuse. we have been getting truckloads of homework. my teammate did a good job of pointing that out during a skit we did for english. that plus 3 tuition's work. its no joke.
and probably the matter which weighs most in my heart; 4I, my class. how many teachers and students have we reduced to tears? countless. such that every friday during contact time its like a booster motivational session. everyone comes up and gives such nice wake-up calls. but i think that that's never going to work because many people are simply happy with where they're at. they have no specific goals in life, and thus they have no driving force. its sad to say this,but we(yep the whole class) have proven to be nearly impossible to wake up from our deep slumber. maybe what it takes is for something really really bad to happen before all of us are fully awake. a good teacher is currently threatening to put us back with some other teacher under which our class's grades would fall. all this frustration has been built up ever since the beginning of this year. i pity our form teacher. its the first time that she's placed in charge of a class, and a graduating one at that. imagine how much stress she is under. there's only so much that we can do to help the class. as for the rest,well,you'll just have to learn the hard way.
and lastly, the sleeping beauty in chinese class. i would never say this to your face, because you'll go all emo on me. but you are beyond help. honestly,who are you to argue and throw tantrums on our chinese teacher? can't you have some empathy? all you do is sleep. even when other teachers try to wake you up,you'll just ignore them. get out of your whimsical fairy tale world where you're a pathetic victim, waiting for someone to pull you up from the pit that you'll fallen into, by your own choice. you're rude to trainers,teachers,students, even friends. and all you do is go all emo and yell,'how can you help me if you don't know my problems?!' oh puh-lease. you've got a lot of growing up to do. you're not the only one in the world with problems,m'boy. hey,i've got issues too. but the difference between you and other people is that they deal with it,get over it and MOVE ALONG. what about you? you're still waiting for your problems to be solved. i say,keep on waiting.that'll never happen. you act like you have got realllly big problems. but people around you are suffering much more. some people are worrying where their next meal's gonna come from.other's are wondering if they'll be alive tomorrow. you're one of the most narrow-minded and shallow person i've ever met. you're as shallow as a swimming pool for ants. and i just know that if you do not attempt to change,you'll live to regret it, starting with your O' level cert. we'll see, shan't we?
well.i'm done.such an angst filled entry. but that's what teenagers are all about huh? angst.
rather strangers than 'just friends'.

my room door is closed on the pretext that i'm doing my work but i'm blogging.and typing reeally slowly to lower the noise level. lets keep quiet about this alright?
so.i'm multi-tasking right now. 1)blogging.er..duh. 2)looking through my undone(gasp!) ss hw. 3)listening to music. 4)looking at the orion sonstellation's red star. i finally found it!its at the top right hand area of those three stars in a row. it may look white,but you'll see flecks of red passing through.colours have something to do with the varying temperatures of different stars. there's white,yellow,red,blue. boo.a cloud just drifted over it.
so anyway, today we had the 4 stations of n a f a test. (which i absolutely do not see the point of) inclined pull-ups,A sit-ups,A sit and reach,B (i've lost my touch.lol) standing broad jump.175cm.dunnoe what grade that is.its already considered a miracle though. i'm training for 2.4km. i wanna do well. but please can i have silver-plated gold? i don't like gold. my stomach is hurting so much from the sit-ups that i feel as though a wild bout of laughter would cause me to have internal bleeding and die. how morbid.
today 4 U,N,I had the booster session of the motivational workshop. i had so much fun. then after the session which ended at 6, hh,mingyue,florence and i were making our way to the lockers. something incredibly funny happened. i shan't say what. so we were all laughing,even the victim. the victim,strangely,was laughing the loudest. then the slut club just had to walk past and the 'leader'(which just means that she's the greatest idiot) said something to make us look bad. i was really pissed but i managed to shut her up with a clever comeback.all delivered in an impossibly polite way. take that,you snivelling little weasel. Slut Club - 0 Normal,innocent people -1
overall,today was interesting,for a monday. i hate tuesdays the most though. wonder whether i've ever mentioned it before. fridays and weekends rule.totally. i actually look forward to mondays because i'll be able to see all my best buds again. but tuesday,TUESDAY the truth sinks in. the is the conversation that my brain has with myself every tuesday morning. BRAIN: Darn it.do you know what day it is?! ME:Errrr............ahah! Tuesday! BRAIN:You've got a whole week in front of you,do you know that?! A whole week of boring lessons! and you've already seen your friends yesterday!!!! ME:*mumbles and sighs* so yeah.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE SAD THING? my birthday falls on a TUESDAY this year, right smack during the O' levels.
life is a vacuum cleaner. it sucks. but honestly,nothing can spoil my happy mood today, except for the fact that i have not done my ss hw and studied for the ss test tomorrow AND i want to sleep by 10 15pm. gotta run.fewer posts this week, i've got many tests coming up.
