And my eyes are burning. Like it's really true: you never know what you're missing til you've crossed the line
And I'm proud to say that I've crossed that little ol' line. Thanks a lot Poh Shu Yun. I decided to go online to find some necklaces and I came across this site that provides link to like hundreds of blogshops and you can pick and choose whichever you want.
And so I decided to pick a few and look through em' and I was like necklace-&-earrings-&-bracelets-struck. There were soooooooo many gorgeous necklaces and earrings and bracelets of assorted colors and shapes and sizes.
So there I was sitting in front of the screen like a deer caught in front of the headlights and I was like Charlie, deciding which chocolate I should choose from fantastic Mr Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It was a sight to behold for inexperienced little ol' me.
But the suckiest thing was that I couldn't find, ANY. big hoop earrings at all. There were only those small ones that didn't appeal to me 1 bit.
Darn it. Plus, I decided to change my blogskin yesterday afternoon and when I copied over the HTML text into the template, it came out all disfigured. My previous posts somehow vanished, and the headings were spread out to a grossly overweight size. So I edited and edited and tried to recall whatever Shoe told me about HTML texts and codes and tried again and again. BUT NOTHING WORKED.
I wasted 4 bloody hours trying to load a silly little blogskin. Then when I tried again in the evening using the same codes and texts that I used in the afternoon, it worked. Like bloody hell. I was irritated.
Mum just told me Grandma's coming from London to visit us on the 29th of August!. Whoo! Haven't seen Grandma since I was probably Sec 2. I love it everytime she comes here. She'll read me bedtime stories, even though I'm not small anymore, and tell me about how Granddad looks like - coz I've never seen him before - and she'll say " He's very tall and wears this big black spectacles and his hair has become white already! Maybe 1 day he'll be brave enough to come and visit Sue and all of you again"
Erm, yeah I don't think that's gonna happen. My aunt showed me a picture of him before though. Now I know where I got the oval shaped face from. But he has the European nose, and so does my mum and sis, which irritates me, because I got the recessive smaller Chinese nose from Daddy.
I WANT THE EUROPEAN NOSE PLEASE. Maybe when I grow older, my nose will shift and move and morph into the desired pointy nose that I yearn for.
Hey who knows, it may happen?
AND I think the stress from all the finals have made me more paranoid about my hair. Seriously I NEED to relax. "Serene, your hair WILL grow back to its usual thickness. It takes time and effort so blame that B**** of a hairdresser who couldn't differentiate between a trim and 5 inches and chopped off your maginificent crown of glory"
Waiting and waiting and waiting. Sometimes, I think that's all we ever do.

Exams are finally over! A weight has been lifted and I feel....free. Yeap.
It seems that many people I've asked are gonna be wroking during the holidays.
But me.
Darn it.
I feel so...useless for not intending to work.
Well I wouldn't mind working actually.
It's just that I don't know where to work and
I have lessons during the holidays since I signed for Global Citizenship
I will be flying offto Beijing on the 29th of March!
I can't wait coz the last I went to China, I was around 7 or 8 years old.
Maybe I can work like part time where I work only for a few days per week?
Hmmmm.
Any recommendations?
It'd be nice to do something useful & worthwhile actually.
But anyway after exams ended I went off to eat lunch with Jess & Linjia.
Nette had a date. Humph!
But I didn't mind =) She went skipping off when her bus came.
Missed her much during the mugging week! And we've planned to go shopping during the hols!
Okay so I went to eat with Jess and LJ at the hawker centre.
AND THEN
Jess SURPRISED me with a Barbie doll!
PLUS it was the exact same Barbie doll that I had been admriring with her when we went window shopping before the Study Week!
Seriously I was taken aback I mean I didn't expect her to buy it, and I felt upset and guilty because I didn't get her anything.
It was so nice and sweet of her!
THANK YOU JESSLYN! I LOVE IT TO THE CORE
I should ask for Barbie dolls for my birthday from now on x)

Was youtubing and watching a drama called Hospital Central, a Spanish version of E.R and there is this GORGEOUS GORGEOUS guy. I went to google him to find a picture but couldn't find anything, so I went to Yahoo! International and went to Spain. Dang I had a hard time reading all the stuff there.
BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO PROCLAIM 2 PHOTOS OF HIM.


Ladies and gentlemen. This. is Mr Ivan Sanchez. Isn't he a sight to behold? Oh my gosh I was INSTANTLY attracted to him, especially that nose of his! People like feet, so I like noses. Coolness. AND this guy's a model! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I shall now search for more pictures of him.

Its my prerogative to say that our education system is screwed up and disgusting and downright unfair.

Someone please STAB me in my gut and save me from the horrors of finals.

Zack just asked me why I sent him an expletive message on Monday morning, and I was like " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Because seriously I so did not send it, AND I so do not do retarded crap like that. I must have been PMSing or something because once Zack said that, tears started welling up and I was seriously going to cry.
I mean I was really afraid that he'd hold it against me . Plus I was getting ready to defend myself because honest to God, I do not, do gross things like that.
It's so unsophisticated & unfeminine --> so NAWT my style !
BUT lucky he didn't! He was like "It's okay. I know you don't do things like that, I trust you!"
WHEW. For a moment, I thought I would have lost a funny friend!
BUT how come "I" even sent a message like that in the first place? I was sleeping when he mentioned the time I sent it to him. Maybe it's my brother who decided he wanted justice after ratting out on him?
Or my mum?
Damn it!
I'm sooooo never going to forget this like til the day I fly off to America.
I hope Zack won't remember a thing about it. Because. I'm a paranoid person and I'll be really hurt if anyone breaks our friendship because of some alleged action.
But Zack doesn't hold it against me. So, I. AM. RELIEVED. i think.
ZHI SHEN IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THANKS FOR TRUSTING AND AND FORGIVING ME & BELIEVING ME, BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER SEND CRAP PIG-ASS MESSAGES LIKE THAT TO A FRIEND AND I'LL KILL WHOEVER DID DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, IF I EVER DO FIND OUT.
thank you God, for blessing me with such good and blessed friends who believe in me! You are my Father and You watch over me =)

Weird.
Like we only went through the quiz answers and that's about it.
Plus we gave us like litte nips and tips about the exam, which I thought was weird, coz its like we're not even SUPPOSED to know what's going to come out for any exam in the first place.
Period.
Well. HSS teachers are kind.
Scenario 1:
Was in the train this morning on the way to school, and I was standing in front of the double doors. The train stopped at Potong Pasir. AND.
Lo and Behold, ladies & gentlemen.
In walked this tall and GORGEOUS, dashing. European man. He strolled in and stood behind me and I froze. Like a deer caught directly in front of the headlights of the car. Like every nerve and neuron in body was reacting to this exotic and gorgeous creature. He was like towering above all the other men in the train, which was a sight because it made me stand out even more.
That pointy nose! Sweet. That lush blue peepers! Heaven. He wore a light blue work shirt, rolled up to the elbows, revealing that great nice set of muscular and toned forearms, and formal black pants AND the best thing?
He wore cologne! He smelt of rich and expensive cologne that made my head dizzy with excitement. And he looked squeaky clean and fresh and cool, like he just came out the shower.
My heart was like POUNDING all the way as he made his way behind me. I tried to NOT look at him, but unfortunately, the double doors of the train bore his reflection so I HAD to glance up and take a quick peek til I reached Boon Keng
Great. My instincts are acting up prematurely. Again.
Scenario 2:
Took the same bus with Jesslyn today and we cut through the market to get to Boon Keng station AND I spotted a pair of cute European tots in a stroller, peeking out into the world. I shrieked and grabbed Jess' arm and was like " Jess! Jess! Look! European babies!"
They were so cuuuute! They had this big big innocent brown eyes and brown hair and really fair skin. Even Jess agreed with me.
Scenario 3:
Walking to my dance class just now at around 7. And bus 73 came. And.
Lo and behold, ladies and gentlemen.
Out walked this GORGEOUS dashing and suave European man. He wore a white muscle tee, that showed off his perfect toned arm muscles. AND he had blue peepers too! OH MY GOSH. I was instantly awe struck. Plus, he had a knapsack, which reminds me of those guys going on some hiking trip.
So I was like looking at him like he was some sort of an addiction. And I kept looking and looking and walking and walking and watching him cross the road to get to the opposite block.
And I walked straight into the pillar.
Shit. My head still hurts. There was this old woman who saw me and she looked at me like I was some sort of a retard. A retard, who even with spectacles, can walk into a pillar.
Right.
BUT ALAS! SAID EUROPEAN MAN VANISHED INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE BUILDING.
Oh my god. Like. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. Every European man I see I stop what I do and stare at one of God's gorgeous creations of all.
My guess? It's the hormones.

HAPPY 18TH JIA =)
Relatives came over today for tea. Bobby is frightened by my youngest cousin. My dad said that once she beat him. Now he's traumatized. He attempted to dig and scurry his way into the small cupboard where we stored the rice and cookers and refused to come out.
Mum had to remove all the stuff inside to get him out. I put him in my room til they left.
Am sick. Have a flu. And now I can't savour the sweet of the chocolate of Ferrero Rocher.

So I/O presentation, French and APIP critique are done! Hoozah! Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Tomorrow. I/O presentation. French Role Play.
I/O should be okay. But FRENCH. MHD apparently still has trouble with the lines. GOD PLEASE GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO LET THINGS FLOW SMOOTHLY FOR ME TOMORROW.
Took the same bus with Nette today and we had a talk about said relationship with my mother. I think she's really lucky to have a mother whom she can talk to at any point of time w/o feeling embarrassed or anything.
I'm jealous.
Conversation I had with my chereographer after dance:
Serene: Where do I buy the veil from?
Teacher: Oh okay you can find it at the street stalls. You been to Chinatown?
Serene: Nope.
Teacher: Arab Stret?
Serene: Nope
Teacher: Little India?
Serene: Nope.
Teacher: Are you Singaporean?
Then everyone in the dance room bursts into peals of giggles and I'm like +_+
I fully intend to go to Little India to purchase essential oils for the hair, and to Arab Street to buy accessories. Chinatown? To buy, erm..
?
Never mind.
I shall now rehearse through my I/O presentation slides and my French role play script for tomorrow. I'm gonna be a tourist, looking for the museum who stops to ask a student from TP directions.
I am sorely tempted to watch Tears of the Sun right now. But. No. Stop. Publish post. Stop blogging. Get offline. Stop. Go. Now. Serene.
Bye.
Wait.
Dedicated to Poh Shu Yun:
Now hush little baby, don't you cry.
Everything's gonna be alright.
Stiffen that upper lip up little lady
I told ya Serene's here to hold ya through the day.
I know Luck's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise, everything's gon' be alright
Hope you feel better now Shoe =) I'm always here to help, just like when you were my sounding board for maddening times when I was feeling wacky & weird.

The setting - Home; Serene's room
The theme - Serene attempts to ignore hurtful comments
The plot - Escape the spurs of verbal abuse and insults by keeping quiet, a bad idea.
The resolution - " Sometimes, I think I hate my mother."
Will my poisnous relationship with my mother radiate negative effects on my future parenting skills and the way I bond with my children, should I have any?
One thing for sure: I will NOT let her near my kids, should I be blessed with them, let alone BREATHE near them.
Did this survey on Youths and Relationships during APIP lecture, with questions about interpersonal life with friends, family and romantic partners. I brought 1 set home for my Sis to do and I peeked at her answers.
Both of us feel that our mother does not encourage us to share our thoughts/difficulties, we do not share our difficulties with her, nor do we think that we can rely on her to get a load off our chests.
Why am I not surprised?
I realized from this survey that I do not possess a very healthy and strong relationship with my parents. I do not relay my thoughts and difficulties to them and neither do I feel I can rely on them for emotional support whatsoever, despite being a secure baby 16 years earlier.
Was eating dinner with Sis in the kitchen and I casually brought up the subject of applications to universities & then asked her " Jie, what's your GPA?"
And she looked up at me, her eyes stripped with caution & suspicion and questioned my question. So I was all I heard NTU takes in students with at least GPA 3.0.
Seriously my sister's face turned black and she got all defensive and was like "No la! Sure they take in some with lower that 3.0. I can get in la" And we close the subject.
5 minutes later : " I think I should be able to get in"
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
10 minutes later "Aiyah, think can la"
ha. ha. ha
Wednesday = I/O Psych presentation + French role play.
Bugger.
