Hello my dear readers!!

My body is aching like crap now....

I believe i'm close to total paralysis (waist down + arms)...

Damn that H3 PE:

That old man with the short-tongue (whatever his name is) made us run like mad dogs around the lovely hall for like 20 plus times. I actually was fashionably late for H3 PE and Mr Shi was staring at me when i pretended to run into the hall :) I said sorry ok!!!

After the pointless run, we were further divided into sub-groups, depending on the severity of your failure... And obviously, i was in the most severe group - failed quite gloriously in 2.4km, pull-ups and sit-ups!!! Pls don't comment/criticize my inability to do sit-ups, cuz u know... fat people can do it better than me.... :( Remember: I'm anatomically actually not that viable! Anyhow, stupid Tits (aka. Timothy Tee) was in my group and was so hell-bent on running instead of doing pull-ups (cuz he could actually do them!) Anyway, i still loved the company ;)

BIGGEST LOSERS got assigned to Mr Shi [i have decided to rename him Shi-Wolf (like the Shakira song) cuz he's kinda bestial?] then he forced the guys to practice pull-ups.... Damn i was not happy cuz me and that metal pole have absolutely no affinity with each other!!! But guess what?? I could hang with my chin above the bar for 10 seconds!!! Only provided i jump and hang on the MEDIUM height bar (my fierce tallness enables me to touch the bar when i stretch my slender hands upwards!) Shi-Wolf commended my great hanging skills and put me (of all ppl) in charge of seeing through the completion of 5 sets of hanging! Naturally, i dismissed everyone and gave them all As for effort!!

Well just when we thought all was said and done, Shi-Wolf then so kindly asked us to run 3 times around that darn 400m track without stopping... Actually i didn't really complain (much), considering I SURVIVED YEN YEN BOOTCAMP (something like I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAMESHOW, but more strenuous!!)

ZZZ...

My poor body is screaming for TLC now!!!

Shall go have beauty sleep now....

Crap, i have so many readings to catch up on..............

Totally dreading Yen Yen Bootcamp tmr.... We'll be doing every possible verb in the dictionary!!! Cross your fingers for my dear life!!!


XOXO

OMG!!!

I seriously CAN believe tmr marks the start of JC2!!!

Damn, i have worked sooooo hard (or not!) for the past 11 years to get to where i am now!!!

I'm soooooooooooo not ready for J2.....

I only just completed my Math Project on TOTO (how lame...) that is due TMR - 5 mark penalty for everyday late!! So that was the only piece of mandatory work due Monday, which is TMR!

As for the MOUNTAINOUS heap of remaining homework (mainly BIO), i will do as and when i like - that is, within next week!!!

Looking back...

The holidays have been 50% constructive and 50% aimless!!! And that's like the best efficiency record over the past 11 years!! :)

Basically my holidays only effectively began when i returned from OCIP - 21 December 2009!!

As a direct result, i had only 3 weeks to get my act together before the start of the new school year!!! And those 3 weeks were spent watching online TV, recovering from 'china cough' and sleeping 12 hours a day!!!

I just realised i have yet to draft out some new year resolutions...

I'm kinda lazy to do it now...

Shall think of them in the coming days!!

Keep y'all posted!!

Anyway good luck to the ppl getting back their O-Level results tmr, especially VS Choir juniors!!! Can't believe it was barely a year ago that i was in that very position... Besides, i was sick on that fateful day so memory is kinda blurry!!


Stay FIERCE!

XOXO

OMG this post is gonna be soooooooo random.

This post is the product of being extremely vexed about this lame-ass yet kinda important 500-word essay that i have to write about what i read about: 1. my research interest 2. the development of geographic thought. The worst part is that i have to hand it in tmr!

As few of you know, i have to complete this hell-of-a-task simply because me, Reuben Su, took on a huge undertaking by applying to do H3 Geography.

Okay, by this time you must be like, "SAY WHAT?!?!" You'll just have to read on.........

And so i am shit stuck trying to think about what i have read... Oh it just dawned on me that i haven't read anything!

Wow, how great is that?

Note to self: Don't panic! Things will get better somehow, as always!

And so i attempted reading a blogpost that Mr Josef Tan soooooo 'kindly' let us reference. And it is damn bloody chim. As in, not sooooo chim but the use of so much technical terms like all those 'isms' and quoting weird and deceased geographers - All of it kinda put me off!

But i always manage to find something that amuses me out of practically everything!

It turns out that the pioneer of modern geographic thought was none other than the father of evolutionary biology, Charles Darwin. It was the idea of Darwinism that sent everyone into instant belief that physical environment, rather than social conditions, determined culture. The term for that was Environmental Determinism. Yeah, that was the mad mentality of 19th-century-ers! So tacky and sad but soooo true....

OMG then i had a brainwave!

“I have to be the next Charles Darwin!”

Yeah, easier said than done.

I mean I sure do GCE A Level Biology and Geography.... I mean like he would totally do it if were reincarnated as a 17 year-old Singaporean student (who might be me... you'll never know). But yet again, I am not vibing with the crazy ass 19^th century shtick about environmental whatever because as we all know that social and environmental conditions both play a major role in determining culture, like duh!

Anyhow, I think my dream of being this century’s next big thing will go up in smoke (it already is at this moment), since there’s so much brilliance and fierce smartness out there trying to beat my bony ass/brain down. So uh-uh, I ain’t gonna be Charles. This is sooooo unfair, like duh! But whatever, I have better things to do, so SUCK IT BITCHES!

Urghh... Poor me.... But i will find the light eventually!

Anyway HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR & MERRY XXX"MAS!!!

HAHA! :)

STAY FIERCE!!!! Posted by reuben~ at 11:40 PM

OMIGOD!

The awful mid-years are finally OVER!!!

Now i can tell exams to SUCK IT!!!

Damn...
In retrospect, i feel that although i personally feel that i have put in my absolute best effort in every SINGLE paper that i did, i have an itching instinct that i will totally FLOP... like seriously! But whatever, if i unfortunately fail in my lame-ass quest to get at least all 'C's (selectively possible in every sense), i shall pull/drag/force with everyone else (excluding close friends, so essentially enemies or insignificant unknowns better watch out) down with moi! I know it's so epic-ly vicious of me to say such NASTY things, but dear-o-dear am i still pissed that i got totally robbed from accepting ANY speech day award!!!! Therefore, bombing others come second nature to my bitterness! It's just like Le Chatelier's Principle (LCP), any external stress (EG, being pissed, getting pissed on...) will cause a shift in direction of the equilibrium position so as as to reduce that change. And i have my ways of doing so! That totally justifies what i'm doing! Hoorah for Chemistry! Who knew such a revolting subject could help me do such amazing things... Only saying so for making feel better cuz i totally messed up the Chem paper... Really badly... Like 'S' or maybe 'F' or 'U' kind of badly! You should totally see my paper, it was like a freakin' warzone in there, i was nowhere close to being on top! (like i always am!) That's so major btw!

I'm living in denial right now... I just hope my invite to Speech Day got lost in the mail or Changda accidentally (or intentionally) threw it away!!! I know i didn't score enough A1s to be invited as VIP... but just give me some crazy-ass, make-belief award puh-leez!!!! EG, 'Biggest Joke Of '08', 'Most Hated Of '08'... Whatever they choose to shove me with, i'll take it gladly and with dignity (as always! :])!!! I'm so totally acting out right now... Blame it on Kathy Griffin, she's thought me so much more than school could potentially offer!!

Hmm... OHHH!!!
I shall now have my OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE (not really) on the issue/cafuffle over Michael Jackson's (MJ) brutal (solely for exaggeration purposes) and terribly sudden death! Here it goes:

It's so unimaginably sad that one of music's most beloved sons has passed on so early in his life. I send out my deepest heartfelt condolences to his family. Like totally and seriously!

But here comes the HOWEVER.

Don't you find it kinda' odd that ppl actually start caring and acting all shocked and all that when they heard the news of his death? I find that so FAKE! Just because he WAS famous doesn't mean that you have to begin grieving and crying ur eyes out. I know some ppl that are like that (not really, just hypothetically!) Anyway, i don't really like the songs he put out early on in his career (which totally ended like 20 years ago)! I think his unofficial title of 'King Of Pop' is rather questionable. His music is WEIRD. It ain't pop, it ain't r&b, it was SOMETHIN' ELSE (like what Marjorie Dawes would say to her fatties)! To some of you (with quite bad taste), his music was considered refreshing, but i ain't to me! I don't really dig old-school yah...

I love that the media gave him such quirky yet totally spot-on pseudo-name, WACKO JACKO. Indeed, he was a nut job. Like a real one. Like all 'geniuses', they would either succumb to an early death or suffer from schizophrenia or some awfully weird and off-putting socio-emotional disorder, or like in many cases, BOTH. Poor MJ had to be one of the many CHOSEN ONES... He goes around singing with his freakish baby voice, 'We are the world, we are the children...' and yet he secretly pinches a child's ass or two... That's so wrong. Oh and the thing about Neverland just creeps me out! That place is like paedophile haven... Just imagine little children possibly toddlers or infants who can't even WALK not even saying RUN away from such predators, play happily in some sick crazy-ass huge hundred over acre, debt-collecting dream land, without having any clue that some mad person would grope their behinds. MJ's so dirrrty!

MJ just swims in lies - In his 'Black or White' song, he preaches about racial harmony and equality, yet again he knocks on some fake-ass illegal plastic surgeons door to get some mass bleaching done. Those surgeries were totally botched. Look at the twilight/vampire-ish skin and that scary nose. Urghh. He was also apparently on over hundreds of drugs and pills! (EG oxycontin, slim 10, viagra, cialis, tic-tac...) So shady.

He also alledgedly slept with one of his former nanny (she's so UGLY with a capital U) and created life in the form of 2 children. Yes you heard me, children, his ultimate fetish. Can he even make love in the first place? I thought all that bleaching and pills would have totally messed up his reproductive machines... Maybe i was wrong.

With that all being said, i still kinda admire him to the slightest bit due to his untiring contributions to the music world (not necessarily my cup of tea) and having so many die-hard fans (like i dream of having)! I also feel so sorry for the thousands, maybe millions of fans that purchased tickets for his comeback tour that was scheduled for this month or next. I hope refunds will be coming your way soon! Fingers crossed for you guys!

So i guess thats all from moi.
Till next time a huge celeb dies! (not Katy Perry, Lady GaGa etc whom i love :])

XOXO,
Reuby (aka. the next BIG thing) :)

I know by the end of my 'official press release', i must have garnered a few (much) more haters! But whatever, i guess this is a case of 'what goes around comes around' as i totally believe in karma!

OMG! I have tell you guys about my latest obsession - HARPER'S ISLAND! It's soooo FAB!!! Although the season is coming to an end tmr on Channel 5 @ 11pm, you guys should totally YOUTUBE/TUDOU etc it check out this awesomeness!!! The suspense is like soooo FIERCE!!! The show almost made me cry when my favourite character - Chloe died.... It's amazing what a good TV series can do to you!

I also have new obsessions in the music department that i can't wait to share with you ppl!
The hottest new acts in my book are *cue drumroll!*....
1. V V Brown (Shark In The Water, Crying Blood)
2. Pixie Lott (Mama Do)
3. The Noisettes (Don't Upset the Rhythm)
4. Litle Boots (New In Town)
5. Marina & The Diamonds (I Am Not A Robot)
It's so odd that all of them originate from the lovely UK!!! I guess all the euro-trash music has sunk so deep! I especially LOVE V V Brown!! Love the hair, the style and the music! You should check out her latest single that is set to dominate UK charts, the fabulous song that is... SHARK IN THE WATER!! That bitch is FIERCE on this track!!! I can't wait to get my hands on her debut album which is to be dropped later this month!!! So gonna ship it over to Singapore!!! :]


Quote of the Month:

"After a childhood of buoyancy, GenMe is working harder to get less."
By Jean Twenge, an extract from VJC Mid-Year JC1 General Paper 2009

Such wise words... That brings me to my next point.
Her strong words have made me realise that LESS IS INDEED MORE!
Just think about that.
Moses and I are gonna create a theory/model about it soon.
So keep your eyes peeled yah!

XOXO

OMIGOD!

Hey i'm terribly sorry for letting you lovely and patient ppl wait in grief and pain while stare at at my "OMG I JUST ENTERED VJC" post... Seriously, that post was kinda' lame. It was really one of my spur-of-the-moment moments. I think i was just too excited to surrender my JC virginity. HEHE :)

Personally, i can't believe that i happily dropped my blog in a grave and left it there for 4.5 months to find the light... Sounds soooo sad.

BUT... Aren't you all glad that i'm back??? :)

Random thought...
I feel inspired by TWITTER! You know, that website thingy where you can only post 140 words or less! I have an account... apparently! I set one up for fun and have never looked at it since! Was kinda' embarrassed cuz there was no one i could "FOLLOW"... Technical terms are such bitches. So if u wanna FOLLOW me on TWITTER, well... do so at your own risk yah!

I'm dying at home. I'm evolving into a holiday slave. I live day to day, taking in one thing at a time - like a homeless person living on less than US$1 per day.... I love drawing parallels! Studying should be a crime. It totally goes against all of my moral beliefs. MOE should be sued for child labour. But if i stop studying, i will end up on the streets... Nah, i don't want a pity party!

Lady GaGa should write me a song - Just Study!

Quote of the day ~
When a man makes an opinion, he's a man. When a woman makes an opinion, she's a bitch.

Hmm... when i make an opinion, i'm a bitch.

Go figure!

P.S.: I ain't a girl or a tranny!

XOXO

OKAY...

And so i got tagged by Kenneth Tay to do this lame quiz!!!

LOL!

Rules: once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 20 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 20 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you!

1. I would love to learn Spanish and be as proficient as Dora The Explorer!

2. When i grow up... i wanna be famous, i wanna be a star & i wanna be in movies - just like the Pussycat Dolls!!!

3. I still like Rachael Ray even though she persistently uses copious amounts of EVOO and dairy products and Linus thinks she resembles a botox barbie...!

4. I have decided against learning how to rollerblade after being totally traumatized looking at my classmates fall and almost fall at ECP...

5.My most frequently used conversation starters are - "OMG!", "HOLA!" and "OI!"... and it made me realize that i'm actually very rude!

6. I think Rihanna's so stupid that she can't even spell her name.

7. People think i'm cuckoo for wanting to do Biology and Geography for A Levels. And i think some of them secretly think i'm incapable of doing so...

8. I still sleep with soft toys even though i'm already 16!! And i'm shameless enough to admit it!

9. I would love to think that i'm a huge Katy Perry and Gossip Girl fan. But the truth is that i haven't even attended any of Katy's live gigs and have yet to purchase a copy of GG Season One DVD...

10. I think MacDonald's Cheeseburgers are actually kinda' delish!

11. I'm still have issues with my stupid 3 A2s i obtained for O Levels. I swear i'm gonna get over them once i enter VJC... if i can even get my ass in!

12. I NEVER did perm my hair!!!! It's au naturel okay!

13. I wanna be a Survivor contestant although others think i can't even last a day on the island...

14. Come to think of it... i've been watching Survivor since i was 8 years old! :)

15. I hate eating pineapples for the fear of it biting my tongue! And i also dislike durians cuz they taste like alcohol! (Hangover alert!) Oh, sashimi is absolutely gross too!

16. I once had a Pringles binge and felt so disgusted with myself after that!

17. I frequent Perez Hilton's blog and i dream of being dissed by him on Hollywood's Most Hated website!

18. My newest favourite phrase is "next level" - i learnt of it from Katy Perry's blog!

19. I prefer english songs to chinese ones. Trust me, you wouldn't want Jay Chou to be on heavy rotation on your iPod - your IQ would be in the negatives after the continuous chanting of senseless gibberish!

20. I read magazines, not books - just like Victoria Beckham!

I actually had fun doing this!!!

Anyway, i got mildly frustrated SMS-ing 4A ppl just now about our Reunion Dinner!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!
This song is the most precious song i have ever ever ever heard! I happened to catch Bride Wars just now and this song was featured in the OST! It almost brought me to tears when i searched the song on youtube... it's sooooo pure and innocent!!

Priscilla Ahn - Dream

I was a little girl alone in my little world
Who dreamed of a little home for me
I played pretend between the trees
And fed my houseguests bark and leaves
And laughed in my pretty bed of green

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing
I had a dream

Long walks in the dark
Through woods grown behind the park
I asked God who I'm supposed to be
The stars smiled down at me
God answered in silent reverie
I said a prayer and fell asleep

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree
I had a dream

(8x)
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Now I'm old and feeling grey
I don't know what's left to say
About this life I'm willing to leave
I lived it full and I lived it well
As many tales I lived to tell

I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now
To fly from the highest swing

I had a dream

Priscilla Ahn is the best! :]

Feet are SOOOOOOOOOO SORE!!!!!!!!!!
Skin is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO ORANGE!!!!!!!!!
Urghh....

That's why i gotta go sleep soon... Have to urgently repair my damaged body in time for CNY!!! Damn.. i think my skin is starting to peel!!! Thanks a lot you vile seemingly spherical ball of red (aka the freakin' SUN!) and your pain-in-the ass cancer-causing radiation that caused my body to be in such a nasty state... Anyway my new shade of skin pigment might bring me more $$ when relatives see that i've taken CNY so seriously and got myself a mandarin orange-esque tan! LOL! ORANGE is sooooo IN! (Edwin will thank me for this! But green is still so much better! HAHA...) Mizz Marjorie Dawes (Little Britain!) will be sooooooo proud of moi!!!!!!!

I'm soooooo ORANGINA-LICIOUS!

You know you love me,

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!

2009 is finally here!

Like seriously, approximately one year ago i was freaking out about 2008 and all the may-jah stuff that was gonna happen! Eg. Rhapsody VIII, O Levels, Graduation... All i really wished for was to do well in everything that i do and peacefully complete the crucial year of 2008! I prep-ed myself for a long and winding rollercoaster ride, surely it was one hell of a ride!!

2008 was absolutely whore-some!!!!

I did achieve many many things that i thought was initially impossible, especially during the end of the nauseating O Levels!!

1. I successfully completed my O Levels!!!!! Results will be out in 2 weeks time and all i can do now is to seriously hope for the best! Hopefully my best will be able to put my ass into VJC!! 6 points all i dream of right now!! :)

2. I passed my first AIDS course with flying colours!!! Now im equipped with all the essential skills and techniques in order to save lives!! Thanx Xiu for introducing this very whore-some course to moi!! Thanx Moses for all the extra help and guidance for the CPR routine!!! :)

3. Rhapsody VIII was a roaring success! It was simply off the fabulousity charts!! I'm very proud of the lovely VS Choir and 07-08 committee members for pulling off a breath-taking display of vocal prowess and performance excellence!!! :)

4. I learnt how to cycle again!!! In a sense, i RE-CYCLED!! LOL! Apart from the small abrasions and cuts, i thoroughly enjoyed myself pedalling through dense foliage and taking in the beautiful scenery of East Coast Park!!! Thanx to Edwin, Pin Che, Yi Wei, Timothy, Wen Nam and Wei Guang (who unfortunately sprained his leg the day before...) for all the support, understanding and encouragement you guys provided constantly while i was struggling in the beginning!! :)

5. My baking endeavours were a success! My orgasmic White & Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding With Irish Cream Sauce was a total hit at my relative's Christmas Party!!! It was super well received and i was sooooo flattered by all the wondrous comments being hurled at moi!!! I shall make myself busy by baking some for you guys to try and i really hope you'll love my fabulous creation! :)

6. My dad invited me and my brother for his company's annual outing!!! And it so happens that the 2008 outing was to Pottery Jungle for a 2 hour crash course on... you guessed it, POTTERY!! It was soooo OMG cuz i really wanted to try it for the longest time!! Anyway, i was kinda' trashy at it!!! I had absolutely zero inspiration and so i sorta' cheated and enlisted the help of one of the instructors to aid me in my time of nothingness! The result was a bowl with wiggly things on the top and some spherical thingies likened to apples...! My bro reckoned mine was second best while his was the best... Whatever! Hopefully his clayey creation will explode in the electric kiln! :)

2008 was also a year filled with sadness too...
I had to say goodbye to 2 whore-some friends...
Ashwin & Tarang!!
I really do hope to see them in the future.. Whenever and wherever!

And so with a new year always comes the time to pen down my very own new year resolutions... DOs and DON'Ts style!!!!

DOs:
1. Be more sociable and make many new friends.
2. Talk less and do more.
3. Organise my books and files and my life all at the same time.
4. Forgive but not necessarily forget.
5. Remain positive and spread more positive vibes.
6. Love more and hate less.
7. Cut my fingernails more frequently.
8. Complete all homework on time.
9. Stay true to my 'One Fast Food Meal Per Week' law.
10. Be a die-hard Katy Perry fan!

DON'Ts:
1. Being over-dramatic.
2. Watch excessive TV.
3. Talking behind people's backs.
4. Eavesdropping on other people's conversations.
5. Reading my bro's SMSes.
6. Start whining and being snappy when i'm having a bad day.
7. Beat around the freakin' bush.
8. Being over-dependent on luck.
9. Spending too much $ on fast food.
10. Laughing at someone rather than with someone.

I hope i'll be able to adhere to my new year resolutions!! Cuz i usually fall out of order during the first few months! I shall keep my fingers crossed for the time being!!

HAVE A BANGING 2009!!! :)
Proudly brought to you by Bangable Airways - Bang! And it's gone!

You know you love me,
X.O.X.O.

OMG OMG OMG!

I'm now a certified first aider!! (news that is 6 days late!)

Technically, i'm not yet a certified first aider cuz the semi-retarded ppl from Red Cross haven't generated my cutesy card-size first aid certification that's gonna look sooooooooo whore-some with my whore-rible mugshot on it!! I really dunno why i'm so excited about it...!!

Anyway, i felt super relieved after the examiner gave me the much desired slip of paper that acted as my certificate collection permit which also indicted my passing of the course!! Congratz to the newly-inducted First AIDS Hall of Fame celebs - Moses & Xiu! Both of whom also passed with flying colours along with the fabulous moi! CPR ain't so difficult after all! I'm so happy that i actually studied for the theory MCQ test until 4am the day itself! Okay, so maybe i was only studying for 2 hours and was shamelessly watching TV while doing so... But that's besides the point cuz i passed the test with full marks!! I finally hit the bullseye and officially killing off my MCQ curse that plagued me throughout my upper sec days!! Damn, i'm good! Just kidding!

Moving on, i tried to channel all my creative energy into the culinary world!! WOW!! I failed quite miserably while baking a Festive Almond Cream Apple Crumble!! And i don't really think it's my fault cuz the damn recipe my bro gave to me was kinda faulty to begin with and my stupid oven had such poor and uneven heating capabilities that resulted in the crumbly part getting charred........!! Whatever... baking ain't my forte!! However, the almond-licious inner filling gave off lovely and sweet aromas and the whole delicacy was deemed edible after removing the upper charred mess!! My bro kinda liked eating it... but kept on criticizing my incompetent baking skills!!!!

After that, i dragged my bro into the kitchen to commence a new culinary endeavour by making a White & Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding with Irish Cream Sauce!!! The end result was totally WHORE-SOME!! Like seriously, it was the best bread pudding that i've tasted in my very substantial 16 years of life!!(not that i've tasted many many bread puddings...) I'm so happy i found this wondrous recipe while desperately scanning foodie websites for the perfect Christmas dish! I'm really thinking of displaying my regained culinary mastery to all my relatives at the upcoming Christmas Party!! I shall make all of them speechless!!! :)

Oh ya, did you ppl watch the Miss World Festival 2008 held in Johannesburg, South Africa?? Miss Russia won to nobody's surprise!! She was the obvious choice lah! But i really thought Miss South Africa was gonna win due to some homeground advantage!!! Singapore's representative was kinda mediocre....! Amazingly, i have the ultimate fool-proof suggestion on how Miss Singapore could at least enter the final round of the pageant:
If you have at least watched one of the pageants in recent years, you would have noticed that the pageant has 5 fast track events that would secure each winner of the specific event a spot in the final round! The events are: Beach Beauty, Miss Talent, Miss Sports, Beauty With A Purpose and Top Model. So organisers and judges of the Singapore version should select a Miss Singapore that is for sure able to win at least one of the above events!!

Beach Beauty: Go to East Coast Park, West Coast Park, Siloso Beach.... and scout for shameless girls sun-bathing and risking skin cancer and eye cataracts in their skimpy bikinis.

Miss Talent: Organise Singapore's Got Talent (for girls only), a cheapo spin-off of the hit American competition. State that the prize is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent Singapore for the prestigious Miss World pageant.

Miss Sports: Go to Planet Fitness, California Fitness or whatever yoga, pilates, weight-lifting centre to find a butch-like athletic girl with bulging muscles.

Beauty With A Purpose: Grab a social worker or an Oprah-wannabe.

Top Model: Organise Singapore's Next Top Model and offer the same prize as Singapore's Got Talent.

The organisers can thank me later!! OMG, I'm such a genius!!!! :)

On another note, Survivor: Gabon - Earth's Last Eden concluded on Monday with Bob emerging as the sole survivor!! Bob really deserved to win over Susie and Sugar! I really wanted Ken to win but Miss Sugar screwed up the whole game by conspiring and eventually eliminating Crystal, Ken's greatest ally, in the previous episode!!!! This season of Survivor was kinda boring... the episodes before the merge were so dry!! Only when blindsiding was at its peak and fake immunity idols came into play was the game getting interesting! Nonetheless, i'm looking forward to the next season, Survivor: Tocantins - The Brazilian Highlands that's gonna air 12 Feb 2009 in the US!!! As you all very well know, i'm a super big fan of the show and have been wacthing ever since its debut back in 2000 when i was just 8 years old! My greatest dream is to be a contestant on Survivor and i shall make my dreams turn into reality in the near future!!! I swear i'll make Survivor history... somehow!!!

I'll be RSVP-ing to tmr's class outing! We'll be cycling at ECP in the morning and maybe catching a movie or BOWLING (Eugene!!) later on! I really dunno if i still have the ability to cycle after approximately 6 years of not pedalling anything.... Dang! Wish me luck!!

XXX'mas is in 7 days time!!!!

You know you love me,

HOLA AMIGOS!

DORA REUBEN HERE!

And so Ashwin left for Kathmandu. Sadness.

And my lovely laptop officially crashed. More sadness.

And i'm kinda' bored. Total sadness.

LOL! Sorry to bore/annoy/irritate/agitate/horrify (whore-rify!)/infuriate/mystify you with my inevitable overwhelming sadness!

Anyway, somehow i also feel kinda' whore-some (awesome!) and so fabulous! Dang, i'm gonna be sooo bipolar really soon...!

Moses & I were persuaded by Xiu to enroll in a Standard First Aid Course (SFA) conducted by Singapore Red Cross Society Training Centre! At first it seemed quite harmless cuz i really thought i would be only learning about how to perform CPR and apply some bandages and basic stuff like that...

BUT i was soooo wrong! My heart skipped a beat when i downloaded and read the course syllabus! It was totally OMG! I was friggin' biting my nails while scanning through 3 pages worth of syllabi! Plus, at the end of the course, we have to sit for an examination comprising of a 30 minute 30 question MCQ test and a practical test involving 2 scenarios spanning 10 minutes each! DANG! PANG SAI OVERLOAD!

How did i get myself into this.... 3 days (8 hours per day) worth of life-savingness!!!!

Strangely, i felt secretly happy! I could finally relive my Grey's Anatomy fantasies! Well not really lah, cuz they don't play paramedics in the show... At least i'll be putting my ass into the world of medicine! I'm super grateful that i actually learnt some stuff from watching excessive TV and studying O Level Biology - i understood some terms that were highlighted in the syllabi that the common man would have been scratching their heads bald to figure out!! Examples: anaphylactic shock and hypoglycaemic coma! OMG, i'm not that clueless after all! I'm so proud of myself...!
Shall stop self-glorification...

On another note...
Sorry Eugene, i can't stop Dora from having excessive and extensive shopping mall meet-and-greet tours and sexcapades! I really dunno where she gets so much resources (hint hint: Sarah Palin) to stage public nuisances along with her partner-in-crime Diego, her STD-laden nasty man-whore! I know she's a pain in the ass but you'll just just have put up with her crap until Nickelodeon cancels her show or Starhub realizes her trashy show is inappropriate for young children! Meanwhile, you can always avoid PP, one of Dora's heavily frequented haunt! I also suggest you join petition groups on facebook regarding the eradication of Dora from our TV screens and from our tortured lives! BTW, Dora's bangs are so HOT!!! (and you can't deny that! soooo dora-licious and whore-some!)

I shall embark on my medical journey in 2 days time! Wish me luck! Hopefully i will pass the exam and be a certified first aider! (or whatever you call it!) Dora dear, please bless Moses, Xiu & i with the magical power of your fabulous bangs!

ADIOS BIATCHES!!!

Fly Bangable Airways, have a whore-some time with us!

You know you love me,
X.O.X.O.

You must click HERE!!
* could not embed video from youtube and myspace...!!

You guys must check out the fierceness that is Leona Lewis' new official video for her cover of Snow Patrol's classic smash hit, Run!!

OMG Leona Lewis has really outdone herself!!

I'm speechless!!

The video is totally breathtaking! It was shot in South Africa!! Even though i'm not a big fan of covers, I was literally on the verge of tears when i saw the video!! (which is a great thing!)

I have high hopes for her with this awesome single!! Thanks to Moses and my brother for introducing this fabulous song to me before the official release of the video!! I do believe she will chart another no. 1 finishing in the weeks to come in the UK and hopefully achieve international domination!! Best of luck, Leona!!!! :)

Anyway, my trip to Bangkok was cancelled... It was due to the political unrest that scared the crap out of my family and I, enough to make us stay in Singapore!! I'm so glad that my family heard the news of the protestors storming the Bangkok airport at around 11pm, the night before our flight which was due to take off at 7.10am the following morning!! (which was actually the first flight out to Bangkok following the invasion of protestors!) I feel so blessed to be safe in Singapore rather than being stuck in Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport bitching about the Thai government along with the yellow-clad pro-king protestors or being left clueless at Chiangmai or Phuket due to flight diversion!! I'm soooo happy that Tiger Airways is gonna give a full refund to 'unfortunate victims' like moi!!

I shall act like i'm currently in Bangkok! (as instructed by my mum!!)

OMG HEY HEY!!

So far, life after the big 'O's has been rather enjoyable!! I literally went out everyday since the last paper with the exception of today whereby i put myself in self-imposed confinement! I've been out and about - 4A class chalet, adventures with Moses & Xiu, job hunting...!! I love how i've been trying my very best to spice up my post 'O' life! However, at the rate i'm going, i think i'm gonna fall sick soon... Let's all touch some wood right now!!

Okay, post 'O' life comes with its very own drawbacks - UNEMPLOYMENT!! I seriously hate that word... it's like soooo... negative! I know i have to conquer the concrete jungle someday... Why not start now? My classmates and I went out to find temporary jobs at job agencies! I really dunno whether i'll secure any job right now... The staff at the agencies didn't seem very interested in helping us find jobs... It seems that they do not wish to help us find jobs maybe cuz we are too inexperienced? I hate this negativity that they constantly shroud us in!! It's super demoralising! Furthermore, they make us fill in forms and some made us register online onto their database. I feel wary of these practices... maybe i've watched too much Crimewatch and Tyra Show or something! Agreeing to their terms and conditions or whatever felt like i've just sold my body and soul to them! I feel empty after technically signing on to the agency. Sometimes i think that they think that we are wasting their precious time!!!!! All in all, finding employment opportunities is definitely a difficult task especially when the world is in the midst of an economic recession... Let us all cry tears of great economic sadness.... Dear Fairygod Obama i need you to magically turn whatever remnants of the sad economy into a booming and fiery one!! :)

I just love being involved in 'naughty' activities (pls don't think sick!)
The drama at the 4A Class Chalet made me realise how some retarded trivial prank could go super awry!! But i'm so lucky to have come out of that nasty experience of 'POSSESSION' relatively unscathed!! However, someone just had to get back at us and revenge is all i seek now!! I shall not elaborate as it's really embarrassing and emotionally taxing!!!!

My inner 'Dora The Explorer' was channeled when i went on escapades with Moses & Xiu at Toys'R'Us!! Totally fun!!! I just love how we are able to make the most out of each outing and enjoy maximum fun and buckets of laughter!!! Our current craze is as mentioned earlier: Dora The Explorer!! I just love those hot BANGS that exude so much [sexual] charisma!! I'm so glad we found her hidden in baskets filled with clones of her dear boyfriend!! FYI, her BF also has BANGS!! DDDDDDora's style is soooo ghetto owing to her fierce weave and sizzling hot bangs to complement her whole self-styled ensemble!! Being kind ppl, we wanted to give DDDDDDora [plays theme song of the show..] a makeover!!! I mean like who doesn't love makeovers!! She needed to spice up that dated look she's been having since... forever!!






As you all can see, we also granted her a driving license and a criminal record!! She needed a driving license cuz she wanted to visit her [fictitious] twin sister Pora The Pornstar in Patpong, Thailand! We're such nice ppl!! Due to my pathetic phone camera (not my photography skills), you might have trouble reading from the pictures above, so here's the typed version:

Animal Alley Police Department:
CRIMINAL RECORD belongs to
DDDDDDora Guacamole Portobello Bangs

Miss Bang's new look is totally EPIC! She's as hot as a Jalapeno pepper!! Her makeover with us was ultimate fierceness!! We accessorised her with a Hannah Montana sling bag, dumping away her massive and gross magic purple satchel! She was also given a High School Musical Party Bowl to act as a helmet protest her perfect bangs! A toy hammer was provided to fend off nasty creatures that might ambush her while she is driving! To prevent dehydration, she was given a HSM water bottle (which was empty... !) We also made her pants shorter, exposing her white virginal knickers!!
Girl, you better work that hot new look!!! Cuz we took the time and effort to assemble it onto you!!!

Oh ya, i'll be heading to Bangkok, Thailand on Wednesday with my family for a short 4D/3N holiday!!! It'll be my second visit to Bangkok and third visit to Thailand!! Ahh... i wanna see how much things have changed in Bangkok since i roamed the city 5-6 years ago!! However, i'm kinda' scared to go there due to the political unrest the country's facing.... I shall just stay away from the royal palace region and occupy myself in the peripheral areas trying to burrow deep into my pockets!!! Anyone wants anything from there???

To end off my post, i shall announce some depressing news....
Dear Tarang is leaving for the US of A tmr... Sadness!!! I wonder if he's coming back to S'pore to receive the 'O' Level results or the school is sending it to him.... Anyhow, it's still really depressing to see a good friend leave your side and know that you can't see him for the next couple of years!!! I wish Tarang best of luck and please kick those American's arses!!! See you someday!! ;)

This is pure EUROPOP HEAVEN!! (as quoted from Perez Hilton!)
Introducing my newest pop fix.... THE SATURDAYS!
They are like the future of brit-pop and will be the next great Sugababes and Girls Aloud!
AWESOME!!
They really made my day, my last day i'll be spending as a 15 year-old!
The Saturdays - Up


I'm totally stoked b'cuz i'm finally gonna be old enough to watch NC-16 movies(burn after reading.. such crapiness!) and can catch Avenue Q as suggested by Xiu!! Turning 16 is really a big deal and a giant stepping stone for me! I'm finally entering my next phase of development (not that i'm undeveloped/under-developed!) So the song being posted up also relates to how i feel right now, getting ready to leap and go up, up and away towards greatness......................!!! And no ain't b*tches gonna stop me!!

Hmm... i feel SOOOOOO relieved that SS is finally OVER!!!

YES B*TCHES!!! (i feel so rude today!) SS and i have officially ended our 2-year tumultuous relationship! No more SBQs and SEQs ever again for my entire life!! Say goodbye to government propaganda! TATA D&D, Globalisation, Venice, Governance, Healthcare, Bonding S'pore and the ever-so-lovely Sri Lanka & Northern Ireland!! I will miss y'all so dearly... (and i start tearing up... AS IF!)

Liberation never felt so great!! Anyway the paper was easier than expected! However, the last source given was kinda' hard to interpret... Anyhow, it's all over and i can only hope for the very best!! I must get an A1!!! :)

CL papers are on Wednesday and i'm freakin' jittery about it!!! I have been SOOOOOOO disconnected with my mother tongue that Ding Ni would be SOOOOOO disappointed with me.... At least i have my B'DAY to figure smth out! And i'll be going out with Moses and Xiu Qi to resolve all our Chinese issues! Tmr is CHINESE DAY ppl!!

华语 cool!!
NOT!!

Hope you guys enjoy THE SATURDAYS! And have a great Saturday ahead! (though it's like 5 days away!)

HAPPY SUPER SWEET 16 to MOI!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I'm gonna wish for good results for moi and you guys taking the 'O's!!
加油!!
