TODAY, the

Thirty-First of July

Year 2 0 0 7, is J.K Rowling's birthday!

and ALSO,

Harry Potter's Birthday!

okay. i know you don't really care. only tiff and i seemed to care in school today. anne marie knew, but she doesnt really care. well... at least she knew!! therefore i conclude the only two harry potter fanatics in ohsixSfifteen are tiff and i. she wanted to find some form of celebration. and isn't it cooler that daniel radcliffe's birthday is just 8 days before? yeah, i know you don't care.

take it as i'm going crazy. because i really am. i'm cutting off from a lot of things. and the whole nj's stressing the j2s out. jc life sucks. but i have no choice.~

Her Last Three Words:

All was well.

That sums up the whole harry potter series. And i'm sad to see it go! Meanwhile, i took 3 days to complete the seventh book and i must say that JK Rowling is brilliant. how she ties up all loose ends... and how she links everything all the way from the second book. simply brilliant. for those who dont read, you're missing out on something really good. ah. that's your loss anyway.

I'm about to start an anti-spoiler movement, i know tiff will support me. Anne marie and i had to run away from people on monday simply because we havent read the book and didnt want to know the ending. while the others just wanted to spoil it. what's the point of reading if you know the ending already? first it was justin and darren during lecture, then it was zuojie during lecture. i almost murdered him for telling me what happened! my book's been loaned out, and there's still a long queue. wonder when's the next time i'll see it. and it better come back in the same condition as i lent it out! or else i'll strangle everyone.

bye for now. more than 80days left to A Levels. Harry potter rocks.~

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name~

okay. confirmed sucky grades, ABCDE. don't ask me which is for what. it makes me more depressed. and yes. the worse i've ever done in jc (and dont expect me to get a U for anything. i'll totally break down) you can say that you've done much worse than that but hey, my expectations are higher than yours. basically the whole j2 batch did the worse in the past 1.5 years in jc... and i think we even broke the record for the most number of failures for physics or something. no one in s15 got an A for physics or chem, As for math were on the low end and no one got higher than a C for econs. bad? worst! i PRAY hard that prelims wont be that bad.

anyway, been going crazy over harry potter again. kinda like the time after o's when we went to watch GOB and i re-read the whole series again. couldnt wait to watch the new movie... think i was going to have a nervous breakdown if i didnt get to watch it ASAP. and naturally, the earlier the better. so since the guys were free and wanted to watch, we booked tickets. and i got scolded by peiyi for abandoning my class girls. oops. haha.

so about yesterday... went to vivo city to watch with edwin, raf & shafik... was there with edwin first.. and he talked the whole way from srgn to harbourfront. he really can talk! edwin wanted to eat sakae, but there wasnt, so he wanted to eat sushi tei ('teh' was how he pronounced it and made me laugh). he said he and i should treat ourselves to good food. lols. but we ended up at macs with raf anyway... and the worst thing was... he had to read out the fat content. haha. met up with shafik who was much quieter than normal... think he was really sick.

went into the cinema... and totally went beserk when the movie started. was disturbing edwin... and i think raf was glad he wasnt next to me... and edwin wanted to change seats. cldnt disturb the sick one. lols. well... i must say... not as nice as the past few... but still nice to me! the action was so short compared to the previous movies. shant discuss it here. in case people complain of giving too much away. raf and edwin kept talking during the movie. bleahs. so i got my wish. seen the movie.. now the book!! argh!!

walked ard at the roof top for a while. raf wanted to ride the horse thing for kids. lols. edwin was looking for girls again. but for the first time he helped look out for hot guys for me. ha! funny people. went back soon after... managed to catch the last ep of shen diao xia lu.

dont know when's the next time i'll get to see them again... or even the clique in 4a2. gotta start studying hard before i totally screw my prelims. well.. the start of another busy week of piles of revision WS and scoldings. how i hate jc life.

bro drove me to church today. from now on, i dont have to take a bus to church! yes! wake up later! whEeEe.. pastor talked about looking for spouses today. and he said that looking for someone of the same faith narrows the range to about 30% of the whole population. that's really depressing. but ultimately it's only within this 30% that i will choose from. for now... it's concentrating on A's!~

my whole life sucks. my grades suck, school sucks, nothing is going right. whatever. everything sucks. and who is there to help? NO ONE.

Let go, Let God.~

burnt, tired and aching. these two days of enrichment week is already enough to kill me.

Bodycombat (5/7)

it was at california fitness at bugis... the five of us, me, yiling, ghis, fel and stella, went there after the uni talks. oh... i'm quite sure by now that i want to go into engineering in the uni.... unless i'm really that stupid. anyway, we had almost an hour to kill there. so went to walk then went for bodycombat. the instructor, june was so hyper. gosh. i wonder how she conducts 3 classes in a day. we learnt the basic punches and kicks before starting on a 10-track exercise, with breaks only after 3-4 tracks. it was tiring but fun! and it was great help to shout at every kick and punch because it'd make you forget that you're tired. really sweated it out after like... 1 month of studying. and gosh... the toilet was so nice! we all went to shower there, shampoo, soap and towel all provided. so cool! it was such a nice bath. and we were taking our time to dry our hair and make it nice. lols. ghis took the longest to come out... as usual.

went to buy tako pachi after the refreshing bath... so i think all the calories burnt earlier was gained back. lol. took a train back to srgn to meet raf... whom i think was rather bored cuz hewas on holiday. sat down and talked to him for a while an waited for edwin, but he ended late and i had to chiong 23 case studies so i went off first.

ok... talking about 23 case studies... what the **** is wrong with nj econs department?! during the holidays we didnt get any econs homework AT ALL. and now we get 23 case studies to do in a week? how can that get us an A? and how can we bloody take it seriously when we have to rush it within a week? we'll just end up doing it for the sake of doing and not for studying purposes. ergh.

Ropes course (6/7)

had to wake up early early in the morning to go all the way to upp bkt timah for the ropes course. sat at the bus stop for quite long cuz i was early. the last time i went there i was sec2. so after stella and yiling came (anne marie was sick), we went in... tgt with 32 other people... we split into 2 grps (mostly guys and girls in one grp)... and then proceeded with what i have loved to do since i joined np. the girls (and 4 guys) did the ropes challenge first... we were under instructor carrie... and she was so funny. forgot how to belay a person already (because atf doesnt work on belayers).. so i slacked. hahas. went up the tight rope one first... and she made us cross the rope within 10sec. so funny. but it was seriously much easier than atf. i freaked out many many times during atf. haha. then we did the net one... just to cross it... i was more tired than scared up there.

then to the zip-line! still wasnt as exciting as the double zip-line in atf (i cant help comparing). but the exciting part was really the intial jump off... because it almost felt like free fall and my heart totally dropped out. haha. if i knew more people there i'd probably have screamed my lungs out for the fun of it. we went for lunch... then rested in the dorm for a while. almost felt like sleeping.

went back to do abseiling. this one was much higher than the sec3 alpha camp's... and i was certainly more afraid. this girl kept screaming... it was funny... but also made us more afraid. haha. when i finally did it it was ok... but i held on to the rope so tightly. lols. then stella and yiling came down. proceeded to the platform for the jumping thing. we didnt do the lone pole one... because i'd have freaked out if we did it. had to jump from the platform to reach a bar...like the trapeze in a circus. freaky!! but i managed to catch it! and the damn rope hit my right ear... which made the last hole bleed like crazy. haha. inst carrie kept asking if i was okay. she wanted to tell mr menon... but of course i wldnt let her! haha. she had 3 ear holes too! so now i know why it's very dangerous to wear earrings for this kinda thing and i finally understand why i have to take out earrings during every np trng session. lols!

although it wasnt as freaky as atf... i still enjoyed myself because i may never get to do it again. but i still miss atf. lol. and i enjoyed the company of the 2 instructors who were so hyper and mad.... haha. really made us laugh. after that stella and i went to the salvation army shop to look ard. the clothes were really weird. and the shop was really weird too. haha. took a bus back home and on the way edwin called to ask to go out for dinner.

went home first to rest for a while... and realised that my nose was burnt and so were my two arms. went out to meet edwin and raf at gardens. ate at chomp chomp. our usual hokkien mee, sting ray and sugar cane and my chin chow which i cldnt finish. haha. went to macs to stone and talk. edwin told a lot of stories.. and raf was enjoying it everytime i argued with edwin. haha. moved outside and raf and i started a singing lesson with edwin to make him sing in tune. hahas. left ard 11pm. i was really tired.... raf kept saying i was a drunken fish cuz half the time i didnt know what i was talking about. haha.
well, i just want to say that both of them and the others whom we hang out with are special to me (and even special-er to me than other aquaintances). i do care what they consider me as.. but i just want to say that each of them hold a special place in my heart. =)

came home feeling the pain of the sun burns... and pain in my ear hole. arghs. how am i going to last the next two days?! haha. oh... happy green earth day! no global warming!!~

*why is it so easy to give up on something that i shouldnt give up on, and so difficult to give up on something that i should?-

-I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just wanna sit and stare at you
I don't wanna talk about it

I don't want a conversation
I just wanna cry in front of you
I don't wanna talk about it
Cause I'm in love with you...
