Whippeeee!
Yesterday after dance practice, we went to west mall to get new glasses and contact lenses. My new glasses are purple, with a blue wavy line. Bad news is that my sight has increased by 100 degrees for each eye. My sight is now 625 and 675 for each of my eye. Bleahhh! And my astigmatism has increased also. It is very very very high. I also needed to ge new contact lenses. This is because for my SYF performance no glasses are allowed. I had planned to get daily disposables, but my sight was way too high for them. I had to get monthly disposable. Sooooo expensive. So, my dear classmates, dont get freaked out if you see me with no glasses(I look pretty wierd without them.)

And today, was the NAPFA 2.4km run. Just wanted to say thanks to all my classmates and the other people for encouraging me to run faster. Today I ran faster than usual and got a timing of 15.20 seconds, a 'B'. Yay! I never knew my classmates were so encouraging, you know?

Also, today bio was very boring. I was on the brink of sleeping. But then, I was saved by the very interesting foolscape conversation me, Wei Shuen and Audrey were having. We just wrote whatever we wanted to say on a piece of foolscape paper and then passed it around, like a written converation. Wei Shuen was being very, very sick, that is why we were like so shocked and were unable to hide our reactions of disgust and surprise whenever we read them. So, to my classmates, i hope this explains why we were acting so wierdly in class.(people were staring at us)

LOL! yesterday i was so caught up with the book that i forgot about the bio ecosystem project thingy outing.

Since it was a Saturday, Kelvin and Angela had math Olympiad training while I had dance practice. My dance practice ended early, 12 ‘o’ clock instead of 1. So, I could go out with Kelvin and Angela to McDonalds to have lunch while killing time while waiting for 1.40 to come so we could take the train to Lakeside MRT station to wait for Andreea, Audrey would be meeting us at 3. So we ate at McDonalds, and we were talking about some very funny stuff. We even used French fries to spell out something on the tray and took a photo of it(I will NOT mention what was written. It is censored for unreliable content). After eating, we had half an hour to kill, so we went to the shopping mall. To torture Kelvin, we dragged him into ARIES, a jewelry shop. Then, we went to catch the train to Lakeside.

After reaching Lakeside, we blasted music from our phones while waiting for Andreea. Ironically, all three of us were wearing the bright blue orientation t-shirts. And were sitting side by side so we looked kinda like weird people. As we were walking towards the lake, we decided that Angela was our mother, Andreea, Kelvin and I were her children, and Audrey was our auntie. LOL, happy family. So for around half an hour we walked, looking for all the plants and animals and stuff like that. We also saw a monitor lizard. Cool right?

Then, we went to the children’s playground. The playground was kinda cool (no, actually it was very, very hot). There were these rope structures to climb, slides, a turning wheel, skateboarding stimulating thingy, and this rope structure which looked kind of like a trampoline. Me, Kelvin and Andreea had a race to see who could climb the rope the fastest. I obviously lost. Then all 4 of us jumped on the trampoline thingy. It was soooooo fun. After playing like for an hour, we waited for Audrey. Then we finished up the food web, took a photo, and then went home.

So it was a very fun day.

OK, now i am close to tears. wonder why? coz i came back from the excursion for the bio project and read a book. now, i completed the book and am feeling like crying coz the story is so sad. wonder what the book is? it is the book MY SISTER'S KEEPER, by Jodi Picoult. it was the book i was talking about in my previous post. since i like the book so much, i am going to write the whole story here.

disclaimer - don't read this. it is a spoiler. read my previous post for a gist of the story. i would rather you not read this post but to read the book. so don't read this! read the book! but if you are too lazy, well then, just read this

*clears throat*

Intro:
like i told you in my previous post, this book is about a girl called Kate, who suffers from a very aggressive form of leukemia. when her parents learn about it, they decide to genetically modify an embryo and give birth to her so that she will be perfect match as a donor for Kate. the girl who is born is called Anna. whenever Kate has a relapse, Anna donates her blood, and once she even donated her bone marrow.

Development:
However, now, Anna has grown up to be 13 years old and being a teenager, she begin to doubt about her existence, whether it is for herself or for Kate. So she takes a life-changing decision. she decides to file lawsuit against her parents for medical emancipation, as now Kate's kidney has failed and they are asking her to donate a kidney. she hires an attorney, campbell and they fight the case. (as you read about the court case you are forced to think for yourself and wonder whether Anna should have rights to her own body and in the course, cause the death of a sister she loves or whether she should just let her existence revolve around that of Kate and whether or not she have her own life.

Climax:
as they fight the case, one day, when Anna is in the witness box, she breaks down and reveals the true reason she filed a lawsuit. Kate asked her to do it. Kate told Anna to kill her as she hated living between the line of life and death and just wanted it to be over. that is why, Anna files a lawsuit. She also files a lawsuit partly because of her greed. but, Anna does not hate her sister, and she is not a greedy girl
In due course of the court proceedings, Anna is granted medical emancipation from her parents so that she can decide whether she wants to be a donor. also, her power of attorney is given to campbell (her lawyer) so after signing all the papers of the contract, Anna is given a lift by campbell to go home. on the ride back home, she reveals to campbell she wants to donate her kidney after all.

Ending:
unfortuntely, on the ride back home, the car Anna and Campbell are in meets with an accident. she is hospitalized. Later, the doctor says that Anna is brain dead and that there is no point in keeping her alive. Instead, they could donate her organs. Campbell, knowing that this was her last wish, agrees to it (he has the power of attorney to her medical stuff, remmber?)
So, Kate has a transplant and she makes an unexpected recovery and becomes hale and hearty.

Sad isn't it,? it is even sadder if you read the book. As you read the book, you get so close and involved with the characters. that is why everything is so sad

I seem and feel that i am strong on the outside,
but actually on the inside i am weak,
even though i can be weak sometimes,
most of the time i am strong,
heck, i don't even know who or what i am

this a random thing that came into my mind after i read the book. hope i have left you all depressed after reading this. rememer to borrow the book, okay?

ok fine, my dear sister, the incantation to kill people by a jet of green light is not adeva kedava, but adavra kedavra.

anyways, guess what i did today? i came back home at 2.30, started reading the book sister's keeper(it is about this girl whose sister suffers from a very aggressive form of leukemia, and her parents create her by IVF and they modify all her genes so her bone marrow will be a perfect match. now, she is grown up, and she starts thinking about why she is here and whether her parents really love her. so, she files a lawsuit against her parents against them as they are forcing her to donate her kidney. so from here the story starts) so yeah, i started reading the book and then totally got immersed into the book. i had lunch but i could not remember that i actually had lunch and i did not even change out of my school uniform till 4.45. now tomorrow i have a geog test(this week is common test week) and i actually suck at geog. i dont understand a single part of the notes. my mind goes into a state of inactiveness during the geog lessons. so typically it is like i am learning my geog all over again. i have to memorise everything i was supposed to memorise over 3 months in 3 hours. all the best to me and bye!

You know, my favorite books are twilight and the harry potter series. J.K Rowling is an absolutely amazing writer. She writes wonderfully and she also has a super-interesting storyline. Though I used to spend hours on an end reading harry potter(I read sorcerer’s stone – 7 times, chamber of secrets – 9 times, prisoner of Azkaban – 5 times, goblet of fire – 13 times, order of phoenix – 10 times, half-blood prince – 11 times, the deathly hallows – 15 times) I was never obsessed with it in the way like I thought that everybody were wizards and would jump up and pull out a stick and suddenly scream *ADEVA KEDAVA*

However, after reading twilight(I have read it only 2 and a half times and I never read the other books in the series) I am so totally obsessed with. I have a feeling that everybody can hear whatever I am speaking in my mind, stuff like that. So whenever I am in class, I waste time thinking whether the person next/near to me can hear my mind, and then realize that I am being stupid and that if the person could really read my mind he/she would laugh at me. That proves he/she can read minds. So yeah I just waste time thinking about crap like that. So I wonder if there is any treatment to this illness which I call OTD – Obsessive Twilight Disorder.

Ok... I just broke my favourite cup. It's this very cute kinda cup, it is blue, a 'toy story' cup. The thing that is most special about this cup is that it has a straw kind of thing. It is this tube which which starts at the bottom of the cup and spirals up to the top, so it is like a built in straw. You can drink your water by sucking on the straw. I bought somewhere in orchard road, 2 for $5. I regret breaking it. I really liked that cup coz it was so different from other cups.

This is how i broke the cup. i was at my study table, revising my bio and drinking from this cup at the same time. then my mum came into the room to ask me a question. i turned to answer her, accidentally knocking the cup to the floor. That's it. BHAM! such a simple action and that was the end of my cup. After that i kept wishing i could go back in time and undo that simple action. I know it sounds ridiculous, but i just kept thinking that.

So, i began to reflect on consequence's of life's simple actions(yes i know i am getting all philosophical) and was wondering. Simple stuff like these happen in our life all the time. sometimes we just never think about what we are doing and end up regretting it later.

So the moral of the story is....umm..... i don't know........ just dont' do stupid things

as usual i have been wasting time. i was watching SYF videos for like 1 hour or something. i think these two dance just simply rock and i hjave like no words to say. just search for them on youtube. you MUST, if i can, i will try to find a way to add them to my blog

1) crescent girls school syf dance 2007 vitality
this dance simply rocks! the dance is very beautifully choreographed and the dancers fulfil their steps beautifully. they are very synchro and their every move is identical. even though there are a lot of dancers on stage, it does not look messy. i seriously love the song.

2) TJC syf 2005
this dance is marvelous and very lively. the dancers have a very nice style of danceing. i love the way they move and do the turns, it is super graceful. the dance gets much more interesting from 1.20 onwards. their costume is also very nice. i love the song too

HEY! my previous post was in hindi. in direct translation it would be:

wow! this is wonderful! i never thought that i could write in hindi on my blog!
ha ha lol

अरे यह थो कमाल है! मैंने यह कभी नही सोचा था की हम ब्लॉग पर हिनिद मैं लिख सकते हैं!

ha! i have done my math corrections, almost done my physics practical and have wasted around 8 hours during which i could have done something productive like study for bio exam!!!! it is funny how i say that i will do something but i never really get around to doing it. maybe i should really start i think.

*takes a deep breath, braces herself to do the thing she was meant to do since she was born and then clicks PUBLISH POST*

ok, so now just to let you know, i still have not done my physics practical and my math corrections. and... i still have to revise for the common tests. being the lazy girl i am.. i will only revise for math and bio(yes i know i am already very guilty dont make me even more guilty)

yesterday after dinner, around 11.30, we went to west coast park along with family friends and my cousin. the total of 8 of us drove there, went to McDonalds, bought ice cream, and then went for a walk around there. west coast park is kinda fun. there are a lot of 'games' you can play there. like there is this thing you stand on and it goes round and round and round until you are green in the face. my sister and i tried to emotionally blackmail my dad into trying those, but he did not. then there is another thing which is like a board balanced on spring and you just juump on it, like a cross between a trampoline and a see-saw.

after that, we went to NUS for fun, to see my uncle's university, the building where he studied. i wanna study there you know, the a*star research centre was also nearby(scholarship!!!!) the place is kinda huge. i wonder how students can survive travelling between buildings without transport.

ya so that is it. came back home and slept, then ate toast with extra-extra butter. then started writing this post. now, i will finish my hoimework then revise for bio.

Bye!

now dance practice is finally over for the week! am relieved, but not so happy....dance practice is fun! but, i need time to revise for tests and finish homework. yesterday for practice we had pizza! it is like dance cum party like that... first we dance until like xiao like that and then after that, we have food! on the second day we had chocolate brownie cake, then third day we had mango jelly cake and then on the last day of practice we had pizza! hahaz so nice. we had like lots of fun. there are only girls there, so it is something like girl's day out. in our dance, we have this rolling step, so many people bruise their feet and knees and shoulders and so on.... luckily i am not doing that step. ha ha

so just now we went out to look for a study table for my sis. our family friends came along. while they were there, i went to the playground with their daughter(she is 7 years old). it was fun. i was swinging after a long time. haha. i am very good at swinging. i can swing super-high, you know. this time i was eating strawberry pocky(you know, that biscuit stick with cream on it?) while swinging. thanks to auntie for remembering that i did not like chocolate pocky. ya so i was having fun! but, now iot is time to study, enough of fun already.

bye! all the best for your common tests (again)!
p.s. i am listening to teardrops on my guitar

You have always been there for me
Good times or bad times
Rain or shine
I could always count on you
To be there for me
To divide my sorrow
Lessen my grief
Share my happiness
Join in my joy
I know sometimes I neglected you
Hated you for being so different
Sometimes, I never took care of you
But, you never complained and bared with me
You stuck with me
Protecting me when I slept
Went out or did anything else
I really love you and will miss you
I want you to know that i am really proud of you
Even though you are no longer a part of me
You will still dwell in my heart forever
A memory of the time we spent together
My childhood, the transition into my teenage years
Difficult times like during PSLE
But you and I, together got through them all
Will remember you forever, Pari

a dedication to my long, long hair.

i will really really miss it,
all the memories of me trying to tie it by myself, knotting it all up, my mum tying it up in the moring, my hair coming in the way during dance, seeing my relative's awe when they saw my super-long hair, playing with it, whacking my sis with it, washing it, leaving my hair when I went to parties, feeling special and different from everybody beacuse i had long hair and they did not.

*SIGH*

Okay…so now I have finally cut my hair. I guess I did not tell many people that I was going to cut my hair. I wanted it to be a surprise, see? I cannot wait to see the look on my friend’s faces when they see my short hair. Especially my prisch friends. They have been telling me to cut my hair since p5. I don’t know why I actually cut my hair. I think it was because I was kind of bored of it. And partly because of SYF, I think. *SIGH* now that I think about it, I think I will kinda miss my hair. The long, long feeling of it, the weight of it on my head, tying it every morning, all the messy, messy hair. Hmm, anyways, it is time for a new style! My classmates will get to see my short hair on Monday when school reopens for term 2.

All the best for the common tests!

i think my life would have been a whole lot easier if dance practice was not in the middle of the day. it is from 1-4 so it divides the day into two. that it why i cannot do much academic stuff. but, i should not complain. dance is important also.

Jia Yuo to all SYF members! Let's get that gold. The dance is coming out really nicely, we just have to be more synchro and do all the steps correctly. Less than a month is left! let us all work hard in this time okay?

here is my to-do list for the week

1) do chem assighnment by today.
2) dance practice, the last three hours for the week
3) continue and try to finish chem assighnment after practice
4) try finish physics practical after clearing my doubts with Angie
5) try not to cry because i wasted sooooo much time in the past week
6) go for geog project tomo. am wondering if i will be back home by 6pm. then maybe can try finish remaining homework like my math assignment 3 corrections.
7) saturday and sunday is revision time! i cannot waste any time at all. must do all the math tutorials and stuff, revise for the bio exam. must revise for chem, physics and geog. but i am kinda like hopeless for the geog so ya....i am planning to spend most of my time on bio coz it is an exam!

so this is my super-jam-packed schedule for the week. *SIGH*

hey.. i have been listening to lovestory by taylor swift and i sooooooo love it. I also like crush by david archuleta and memories by within temptation! XD

Ouch! My stomach hurts! I think it is because I ate much….. Ouch again. If eating a cake, fries, vegetarian big mac burger, coke, apple pie, two Cadbury chocolates, one pancake and some other snacks whose names I do not know, in a span of 30 mins is not called overeating, then I do not know what is.
You must be wondering why I ate cake. It is because, today we were celebrating the belated birthday of lao shi!!!!!(our dance instructor). Actually, yesterday we ate a brownie cake too (it was to motivate us for the upcoming SYF). It was made by Gaya, Nar, Aisha and Natalie (the first three are dance club members, the last is a friend). It was super yummy and I had like three slices even though I don’t really like chocolate. Anyways, our lao shi told us that her birthday was on 9 march. So, we decided to plan a belated surprise birthday party.
So, today some people went and bought a cake (it was a super yummy mango jelly on top cream cake). Our teacher gave us 30 minutes to warm up, so during these 30 mins, we were blowing the ballons and decorating the room. But, mind you, we were not totally wasting time ok…. we were like warming up while blowing balloons. It was funny. Imagine this scene. You go to this dance room where everybody is doing splits, and at the same time, they are blowing balloons. Anyways, when our teacher came in, she was like so surprised to see everything there. Ta Da! One successful surprise party!

Ok, so now I am like seriously nervous. I mean like really, really, really nervous. I just came back from dance practice and just for the fun of it decided to search for videos on SYF 2007. BAD choice. But, I suggest you guys go look for them too. Unless you are going to take part in SYF too, I think you will really enjoy them. the dances are like super nice and all the dancers are so graceful and so synchro. Now, I am like wondering whether I can perform up to that level. I mean it will be like my first participation for any international dance in a competition. That too, it is this BIG SYF competition. I am like really worried whether I will muddle up or even forget any of my step. Oh No!

Ok, so now I am about to go for dance practice again. Ouch, my muscles still hurt from yesterday’s practice. Anyways, yesterday what happened was that I did not take my wallet. I just put my e-z link card into the phone pouch and left. So now, I had no keys, no money, and no access card(for the school back gate). It was raining like crazy so I quickly ran from the bus stop to the gate and then realized that i had no card. Sh*t. So I was waiting in the rain like a crazy girl for somebody to open the gate. I tried to shout to the people in the school canteen to open the gate for me, but my distressed pleas of help fell to deaf ears, grrrr. Finally, some nice hostel girl came and opened the gate for me. Finally! So I ran to the dance room, shivering because my clothes were wet and was ticked off by my instructor for being late.
Then, after practice, I went home. I knocked on the door, but nobody opened it. Then I called my mum and found out that she was at woodlands, while I was stuck outside the house, with no keys. I was like super hungry, super tired, but I had no money to buy any food, and could not get into the house. So, I stood outside the house and waited for my sister to come home. She had gone for tuition and was supposed to come home in 10 minutes time. So, I waited for my sister. Finally, she came home. However, my happiness lasted for only two seconds when she realized that even she did not bring her keys. @#$%! Anyways, a short while later, my mum came home and both of us could finally get into the house, and no longer had to bear seeing any of our neighbors staring at us like they thought we were thieves or something . YAY!

I just came back from dance and I am like super-duper-duper tired. 3 hours of continuous dancing with only two 5 minute break is seriously a killer. Oh, and I am also feeling like really, really, really guilty. I have like wasted the first three days of the hols doing nothing, absolutely nothing. Now, I have suddenly realized that there are only 6 days left, 4 projects to do, hindi, chem, physics homework, and I have to revise for all my common tests. Not only that, out of these 6 remaining days, 3 days are gone for my dance practice, one day is gone for the geog project. So, in essence, I have only 2 days to complete the three remaining projects, the 2-3 pages long chemistry thingy, the physics practical and to revise for all my common tests, including one exam. Dang, now I am feeling like seriously stress and am sooooo regretting spending the first three days doing non academic stuff (like creating this blog). Shoot. But now, I cannot waste time regretting. I have to spend my time more wisely. So, now I am going to stop writing this pointless post and start doing my homework! BYE!

So, now is time for a super - long, random post(just few minutes after my previous one), but this one is about this totally disasterous cooking disaster i had. :D

My parents had gone out somewhere and my sis was in OBM, so I was this poor, hungry girl stuck all alone at home. I was like absolutely famished so this poor, hungry girl decided to cook all by herself! First I searched the fridge and found a packet of dosa batter. For those who do not know what a dosa is, it is this Indian dish which is similar to pancake, only more crispier. You put the batter on a pan, and then after it gets cooked, turn it around and cook the other side.

Disaster #1: First I took the batter out. Since it was in a packet I had to transfer it into a box first so that I could use the ladle to transfer it to the pan. While cutting the packet, it slipped and fell *SPLAT* on to the ground and spilt all over the floor. *SIGH*I cleaned it up with a mop.

Disaster #2: I put the pan on the gas and lighted it. While waiting for it to heat up, I happily went to read the book lord of flies. And after 20 minutes I finally remembered the pan was on the gas and ran to the kitchen. It was freaky… the pan was smoking and smelled seriously burnt.(and it was burnt)

Disaster #3: When I poured the batter onto the pan, it came out like half dried cement… I forgot to thaw it and so it was like only half thawed and half liquid and like totally lumpy.

Disaster #4: Since it was only half thawed, I had to let it thaw for some more time. But I was impatient so I decided to add water instead. So I poured a little water. Ok……. probably not a little….. just a bit too much. I put it on the pan again but it was like too watery and was like running all over the pan. Anyway, I finally made a successful dosa. Well…. Not really successful…I mean it is supposed to be circular… but it turned out to be in some vague shape. If you threw an uncooked egg on the floor and it broke, the shape of the spilt ‘eggie liquid’ would be something close to the shape of my dosa. And ya.. like half of the dosa was stuck to the pan.

Disaster #5: Finally I could eat something! So I sat at the dining table and began eating. I took one bite, and almost spat it out. I forgot to add salt! It tasted something like fried paper. So, I decided to make another dosa, but this time I added some salt. But, as expected, I added too much. 3 heaped spoonfuls of salt I think.

This was like the most salty thing I had ever eaten. It was like so totally inedible! I had to chew some two spoonfuls of sugar to get the salty taste out of my mouth. So, finally the hungry little girl learnt her lesson and bought fried rice from the hawker centre below her house and took like 45 minutes to clear up the whole mess I had made in the kitchen.

*SIGH*

Yay! So, I created a blog! Now i have no idea what to post. So, I will just post some super random stuff for the heck of it, like this post, which i dont even know why i am posting. Ta Da!

hey!first post!=)
