2006-03-11T08:02:00.000-08:00

actually

what will you think about fish who knock their fish tanks so hard that the glass breaks and they die?

stupid?

i suppose we are doing just it. we throw styrofoam, plastic and bio-undegradable stuff recklessly. and yeah, homo sapiens are stupid. sigh.

imagine this.

a fellow human being tells you how to prepare a human dish and advises you to eat a certain part which he find delicious.

it's scary isn't it? i'd be freaked out.

exploited 'lil fool

2006-03-11T06:38:00.000-08:00

i think my 'disease' has a relapse. i trust people too easily.

and so here i am. suspecting that i have been exploited unknowingly.
thank you very much. i appreciate very greatly that, perhaps, you treated me like a stepping stone, FREE-OF-CHARGE(somemore).

i hope this thing won't cause our friendship.. especially when there is a first time, there may be a second.

don't pretend that nothing has happened, i am open to clarification... and don't say that you didn't cos you weren't sensitive. i think it's obvious enough and you should have taken the initiative.

i feel like a fool. because i was 'foolly' used. i ought to be wary. of you.

detachment is the way of life

2006-03-10T07:36:00.000-08:00

one word: zai

two words: now what?

three words: we are dead.

four words: nevermind, they can handle. (as if)

five words: twenty-seven days is so insufficient.

six words: twenty-seven times twenty-four equals 648 hours.

seven words: sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

HADLEY WON SWIM CARN! O.O ^^ :P first time in 14 years dudes(:

hopefully we win sports fest as usual. and and and we'd be champion house. and pwnpwnpwn!!!

2006-03-09T06:13:00.000-08:00

i found selections from cats!^^

what do i do? my tone sucks): if i get another reed, the qms will kill me.

shite. 28 days.. i think it's killing me too.

the tickets. are. expensive. considering our standard.. i do not hope to shame ourselves and the previous generations of band girls. blah.

and i shall repeat that taking stands is not a concept. 'concept' is an understatement. i prefer it to be called instinct.

my lit and chinese are screwed up. i am dead..

i like trigonometry!!!!!!! yay! 3D rocks! we did it last year! HA.

true or false?

2006-03-08T05:19:00.000-08:00

Every night , someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

At least fifteen people in this world love you.

The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

There are at least two people in this world that would die for you.

You mean the world to someone.

Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

i have received a lot of these. but are they actually true?

the thing about being called joey

2006-03-08T04:58:00.000-08:00

i really really want to know who joey in rj is..

why?

because occasionally, people who come online either ask me if i am joey or they would start blabbering something which i won't understand @.@

he must be really popular i guess..

szemin was telling me about 'the bloody world' knowing don'tknowwhat. and i was like o.O. heh, if i were not as honest (yes, i am honest :P) i would have continued the conversation and started blabbering nonsense about godknowswhat, putting words into his mouth without his knowing :P funn. let's hope another senior comes up to me and talks to joey. then i can say stuff like 'joey loves her or something'.. HAHAHAHAHA

but too bad -.- i missed that golden opportunity. ): no fun, no nothing.

first and foremost (boy, do i enjoy using that as a starting to my whateverthingsiwrite)
WE WERE CHAMPIONS FOR THE SANDWICH-MAKING COMPETITION!!
and as usual i screamed-.- hahaha. i have been screaming for my house since a long time ago. i just keep screaming-.- and yeah, we were the loudest. or maybe i was. :P

the names of our sandwiches:

mr checkered
tuna rolls
sail away
fruit cocktail toast

yumm.

oh i was slightly shocked after recess. so many things happened.. ok, it wasn't a lot. 2 things. but i shan't dare use the word 'only'. i sure hope marissa is feeling fine. was really stressed when i got to know of that. and although i wasn't witnessing the incident, i just felt like crying. and the incident before that(during recess) had already made me pent-up with stress.. i am beginning to respect those teachers even more.. ok that was incident 2.

anyway, i am sure glad incident 1 did not happen to me. if anyone were to do that to me, i believe i may not be able to handle the situation. for i'd be equally aggressive and defensive.
but hey, i am just human and i think with my heart.

but seriously, if she knows what's good for [2]her, she'd better start reconsidering for we are not pushovers.

double damn. i had loads of mistakes in my previous post.. D: good thing nobody realised. ha, cos they don't read close enough! :P i need to get haloscan up... *looks at tagboard.
ha, it's sort of like a compromise. if i don't want my tagboard to die, i shouldn't use haloscan. but ah, who cares.

i love my hover(:

well?

2006-03-04T23:06:00.000-08:00

i hope they wake up.

by this time of the year the year before last year, the whole band was enthusiastic. although we didn't really meet the seniors a lot, you could feel the tense yet excited atmosphere. from the looks on everyone's faces, there wasn't a doubt that the concert wasn't going to fail. even if the possibility of failing lingered as an insecurity in some of their minds, it didn't really matter for everyone had faith that they would do well.

during band camp, we were abandoned (for a good cause) - the seniors were off for band prac. for most of the time. i was surprised that we were involved in concert prep as well.. remember the edelweiss flowers?(: that was perhaps the main reason why we felt that we really belonged to the band, in some way or another. the seniors needed not to tell us. and bonding wasn't all about playing/having fun. lastly, spirit wasn't built based on talking and being friendly. perhaps we just knew that this is a commitment and we should do the best for it even if we only helped in drawing the flowers, cutting the cloth, destroying some pieces due to the pasting :P, shifting the chairs.

but blah, what am i rattling on about? some of us have not even started practising some pieces. and also, where is the score? what is the fingering?! o.O

don't even talk about props by band camp.. ):

valentines' day special

2006-02-14T06:19:00.000-08:00

22(I gave myself to him) by EMILY DICKINSON

I gave myself to him,
And took himself for pay.
The solemn contract of a life
Was ratified this way.

The wealth might disappoint,
Myself a poorer prove
Than this great purchaser suspect,
The daily own of Love

Depreciate the vision;
But, till the merchant buy,
Still fable, in the isles of spice,
The subtle cargoes lie.

At least, ’t is mutual risk,—
Some found it mutual gain;
Sweet debt of Life,—each night to owe,
Insolvent, every noon.

this was the poem i picked for poetry tea today ^^ however, i did not realise how good it was until i was told to read it in front of the class-.- and it was only before i began to read that the teacher commented that it was a good poem. phew. but anyway, how bad can emily dickinson be? not like my lit teacher can say she's not good :P butbutbut the point is that the poem is so nice!

note: i thought she got married at 22, which was why the poem was given such an abstract title, until i realised that her poems are just like shakespeare's sonnets-.- all numbered. like OOPS >.<

oh i make(create) new friends everyday(:

we have helpless lee and hopeless lee who can be sisters.

sexual lee and sexy lee who are sisters.

grace foo lee who is the special one with a chinese name.

interesting lee, random lee and modest lee are nice names.

responsy billy tee has a cute middle name.

ok i shall end here. bye

pre-valentines' day special

2006-02-12T04:04:00.000-08:00

Joey, when you're head over heels, you are an Essential Companion.

You respect and value the people in your life, but you also make your romantic relationships a top priority. You are not typically the type to try to impress others with fancy romantic gestures. Nor are you someone who obsesses over your appearance. If that special someone is willing to take you as you are, you will happily do the same for them. And if they're not, chances are you should keep on following your heart to a new love for your life — one that might be right around the corner.
Love does change you. Whether it simply enhances who you already are, or makes you a completely different person, finding someone whose love personality compliments your own makes for the longest, happiest relationships.

decided to take a love quiz to spice up a most-probably-average valentines' day :P

my 'theory'

2006-02-05T05:39:00.000-08:00

when doing maths problems, there is no such thing as:

this number is quite odd.

because there are only odd and even numbers. and 'quite odd' numbers come under neither of the category.

14. When's the last time you saw me?
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
16. Do you think I could kill someone?
17. Describe me in one word.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger, weaker, or staying the same?
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?

"Ok, so be nice and DO IT!" joey dictates.

2006-02-03T19:41:00.000-08:00

Joey, your signature color is Golden Sunrise

No doubt about it. A vivacious, positive force like you needs to be represented by a color that warms up any room. That's why Golden Sunrise is the perfect color for you! There's nothing bland about you — in fact many would say you're a lively presence at any gathering! And speaking of gatherings, few are complete unless you can at least make a cameo appearance, spreading smiles, laughter, and sunshine in your wake. People can't help but light up when you walk in a room, which is the secret to how you get so much done in a day. Your sunny disposition makes you a pleasure to do business with, and that's why you're so good at making the world go around — at least your little corner of it. Nice work, Sunrise! So keep spreading those rays wherever you go!

2006-02-03T18:59:00.000-08:00

Joey, your celebrity smile style is Innocent Like Drew

While we'd never believe she's Never Been Kissed, Drew is sweet and innocent smile is what makes so many women want to be her, and so many men want to be with her. Like Drew, you have a sparkling personality that can light up a room (or a movie set) the moment you walk into it. Accompanied by an easy-going manner, your charming nature tells people that you are trustworthy and ready for a good time.You love to laugh about anything — jokes, pranks, yourself — and you prefer to maintain a childlike sense of wonder and amusement about the world. Even when things don't go your way, your positive attitude always helps you find the bright side of things. Keep on smiling!

Joey, you're an Extraversion Medium!

Openness To Experience

Your high score in the Openness category means that you probably have a strong creative streak. Your broad intellectual curiosity and your interest in the various arts set you apart. Some people may consider you somewhat of a dreamer, and your taste for variety often means moving quickly on to the next experience. This tendency makes you appear a bit flighty and inconsistent. But these elements of your personality simply reflect a character full of new ideas and charged with emotions.

Conscientiousness

Your medium score in the Conscientiousness category means that you have achieved a solid balance in your outlook towards responsibility. You are probably somewhat organized, with a little room for improvement. Your priorities probably reflect a mix of work and play. Thoughtfulness characterizes your thinking style, so you give gravity to important decisions without making a big deal out of minor issues. You are probably serious about achieving success, but do not feel completely driven by this motivation. All in all, you've got a very healthy perspective on work and duty.

Extraversion

Your medium score in the Extraversion category defines your social identity. You are probably comfortable in either a crowd or by yourself, and spending time alone or with company is equally enjoyable. When among others, you tend to stand in the foreground, although you may not always wish to take the position of a leader. Instead, you seem to prefer moving between the role of leader and follower, as the situation requires. You probably keep a moderately active social life; you're generally on the lookout for excitement, but certainly don't require it. You tend to keep a fairly positive emotional outlook, and people can usually count on your for some good cheer.

Agreeableness

The Agreeableness category refers to your social disposition. Your high score indicates your tendency to forego your own desires for the sake of others - sometimes to a fault. You are probably known as a kind and modest person who is willing to overlook your own needs for the interest of the group. You believe in creating harmony among people, to the point where you can sometimes act a bit dependent. With your straightforward style of communication and your sentimental nature, this isn't hard for you. You tend to see the world by the light you cast - as honest and genuine.

Negative Emotionality

Negative Emotionality refers to your emotional reactivity. Your medium score means that you're someone who negotiates your emotions depending on your situation. Sometimes you may feel quite sensitive and emotional, while other times you may remain resilient to outside pressures. This quality of adaptation best describes your emotional character. You maintain a rational outlook, which is moderated by feelings. For example, you can sometimes feel sad, stressed, worried or embarrassed under the weight of a situation, but you are able to act quite calm and reserved, without yielding to the stress. Responsive, without being overly reactive, is the best way to describe you.

cny was pretty nice. i met yihui(: she's my j1 niece. coughs. and i thought i was talkative enough :P ok wait, i am talkative around people i know pretty well.. yeah, makes sense.

oh oh and i like ye4 qu3!! everyone should listen to it :D it's nicee!

ok math. was. cool. it was really really cool(: it's undoubtlessly my favourite subject.
i didn't know the fibonacci sequence actually makes so much sense until today. the AP thingy is quite nice as well.

my aesthetics module is a disaster. why can't they build an aesthetics block in school with 10 kitchens?! then everyone can cook together and get it over and done with.. -.-grumbles

oh and i have to announce that simjoo is SO sick.. -.- although we came up with a new meaning for the acronym CLE together, continuous love ********, she came up with the gross part which i thought was highly appropriate since she said 'let's do it'.
ok so it went,
simjoo: let's do it
joey: do what?

my splitting idol

2006-01-27T02:15:00.000-08:00

watched 'i not stupid too' just now. bleah.
wasn't disappointed because i didn't have expectations for it in the first place :P um.. that movie is just good for killing time, i suppose..

oh oh and i want to be able to split really soon(: as in the front-back split! it's so so satisfying :D yup, and so my 2nd idol is sherry!! [the drater!] splitting is really fun and i find it amazing that i can split despite my size [i am fat and ugly]. ok people, just give me two months and i should be able to split by then. was trying to stretch at lido until zeslene saw me. oops : badness. fortunately that place wasn't exactly crowded with people. i think. i am so oblivious to my surroundings. not half the time, but all the time.
presently i think i am >5 cm off the ground.

anyway, since 'i not stupid too' totally bored me [i was lying down in my seat during the show] i didn't have the mood to take neos and stuff with yun, ada, peixian, guoling and amanda loke. so i ended up leaving them for home.

oh and we all know that sim joo is sick especially based on how she intepretes things..

piano allergy

2006-01-22T01:20:00.000-08:00

hi
shall talk about piano now.
the passion in me for piano is so not burning bright. i prefer the clarinet(: even though i am supposed to be better at piano.
sigh. it's such a sad case. i have been playing piano since i was four. i've been playing it when the present primary 5s are borned. whoo-.- that was a loong way back.

i want to just take grade 8 and probably dip. and just forget about the whole thing.. well, i never used to be so grossly practical.. considering that i took grade 2 at primary 2 and went on a hiatus until i took grade 3 at primary 6 i think. and then hiatus again until last year grade 5. bleah. so sickening. the only way i can stop going for class is to finish the whole business.. since it'd be a waste to just quit halfway through without accomplishing anything..

SIGHSIGHSIGH. people were grade 5/6 at primary 6 can.. -.- as in the normal people.. the abnormal ones :P HAHAHA complete grade 8 at primary 3? so zaided :D my lovely idol!
ok wrong mood.

so from now on i shall push myself and not waste time. and if my passion returns, then i may go on a hiatus again :P and say go for piano until university? haha funny and weird. quite rare too.
hopefully mozart can inspire me(: i like mozart's songs. they are simply nice. though quite hard to inteprete according to my teacher..

2006-01-21T02:26:00.000-08:00

i am so lazy to blog nowadays...
oh anyway,

WELCOME BACK PEOPLE!

it's so nice to see everyone back,

all black.

haha it rhymes!

nancy is like dark chocolate with pink strawberry patterns

and qian wei, milk chocolate.

and peixian, roasted chocolate [hahahahahaha] with overflowing strawberry. think along the lines of burnt scalp.

sherry looks like white chocolate with pink strawberry patterns.

generally, a whole group of chocolates came back. i want to be a chocolate too!

considering that

I CAME BACK AS A MARSHMALLOW WITH RANDOM STRAWBERRY PIECES.

hmph.

but after all this while, i still don't feel like blogging about obs. shall try now.

DAY 1; super slack. we did belaying since it was cat. 1 weather more than half the time. it was the first time we used ponchos and i pledged that it will not be my best friend for the whole of the course..

DAY 2; PT in the morning was fine. phew. i thought it'd kill me... then we kayaked till the afternoon. funfunfun. when the tide was coming in, a stonefish started lingering around fangzhou's legs.. scary. capsizing drills were so fun(: we did it with sui sen. it seems as though we had a lot of fate with our sui sen buddy since we kept on banging into each other and we rafted side by side. so naturally they were our capsizing drill buddy(: nice.

oh yeah, i think i should stop blogging about such stuff. it'd not be fair to sec 2s if they read this.

anyway a fish jumped into my kayak during sea expedition i was so freaked it was so scary and all ahhhh so i stopped paddling and poor sim joo didn't know what was going on behind and both of us freaked out and she wanted to see the fish so badly i am glad we didn't capsize stupid fish-.-

you realise i didn't put punctuations for that part. yeah it's supposed to be read in one breath.

dhanabalans didn't lose anything from the store. :P we pwn you.

thought of this while trekking, which means that i had 10 kilos worth of crap in my bag then. yeah and it'd be great to use this to comment on your obs experience(: so if you have anything to add on after obs, do comment. it'd be updated. don't be mad and comment any suggestions before obs -.-

being sec 3

2006-01-08T06:34:00.000-08:00

so what are my views on becoming sec 3?

shrugs. i seem to have begun to hate more things nowadays. ok, more like dislike. hate is so extreme. but ah. i am so sickened by school already D: what the hell. it's like only one week past the new year? pukes

and my blogging style is changing again. look at all the words i have used up there man. it's total badness and wrongness. and i seem more vulgar or something? i don't know. oh and i have also a bad habit of speaking like that. 'this is zee pencil. i am zee best." ^^; funnyy.

jiayun just asked me to settle things for her when she's at obs. haha. confusion. in fact it's really pretty much confusing. like only 10, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are going for obs first. and 12 will be going next week. band pracs are going to be so quiet. and i'd be so lonely... think along the lines of joey being the only one in her sb for band pracs next week and SECTIONALS. urgh. oopsness. the 3rds are so going to die :P oh yeah, which means sam, rathi, latha, qw etc won't be around! urgh.

que sera sera,
whatever will be will be
the future's not ours to see
que sera sera...

ok random song.

i know i broke my promise :P

2006-01-06T07:19:00.000-08:00

ah i know that i was supposed to post the 300th post on my previous blog before starting a new one. but who cares :P anyway, today was a day i have enjoyed the most ever since school started(: never felt more relaxed this year.

and and and i have found a new idol :D hahahaha from now on i shall idolise yan ru and she shall be our (peixian and i) source of motivation! yo. it's amazing how her fingers slide across the piano just like that. snaps fingers. >.<

shall blog till here for now(: bye.
