My mom says the sores on my tongue means I'm getting HFM disease. Ick. This is probably the worst time of the year to get an infectious disease. SO if I'm absent for a long time, you know what happened. Meanwhile, I've been posting too much. So I will go on a 2 week hiatus. Also because I have a lot of stuff to do. Adios :)

Alicia Tan's making me do this. (See tagboard.)

1.Do you like your present school?
Yeah :) But I feel like killing myself when I see all the PTs due this month.

2.What do you want the most now?
The remote Adam Sandler had in one movie that enabled him to stop, pause, etc. time.

3.What type of ice-cream do you want to be?
If I'm lemon sorbet or Cherryberry gelato, I can lick myself. Eww gross. Maybe I should be a flavour I hate so I don't lick myself. Maybe I just shouldn't be an ice cream.

4.Do you hate your friends sometimes?
No. The most I get is secretly irritated. Hate is too strong a word :0

5.Name something annoying your friends do that annoys you.
Talk to me too much at assembly sometimes. Call me a killjoy, I'm not used to talking at assembly.

6.What is your goal this year?
I've got many of them. The most obvious one being become a PSL :)

7.Do you forgive or forget or both?
I forgive all the time and I try to forget but forgetting isn't something you can really control right?

8.Do you believe in eternity love?
Its not "eternity love, its eternal love" And yeah, why not?

9.Have you ever done something for a crush or boyfriend/girlfriend?
No. Do I look like someone who has a boyfriend? Sorry, I'm too feminist right now.

10.What do you enjoy doing the most?
Conducting PSL sessions.

11.Have you done anything for your admirer?
No.

12.Do you like your CCA?
Yup :)

13.Do you cherish every single friendship of yours?
I'd hate to lose any friend. Does that answer your question?

14.Who would you probably spend the rest of your life with?
I have to idea. But like Alicia says, ME. Duh.

15.What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
People.

16.Do you find life meaningless?
Not really. But I have a crazy theory that actually I'm living in a miniature playset belonging to some people and everything is just made up. Like the black hole and WW1 and YOU.

17.What do you live for?
I don't know. I just live. For the rest of the world, I guess.

18.Who do you talk to most in school?
I have no idea. I talk to a lot of people

19.Who is the last person/people you've talked to on msn?
I don't MSN. I sent a file to Violet on MSN a few weeks ago. But we didn't talk.

20.What do you crave to eat right now?
I'm really full and there's a horrible sore on the tip of my tongue so maybe a lemon sorbet can numb it?

Tag 8:
1. You.
2. You.
3. You.
4. You.
5. You.
6. You.
7. You.
8. Cause what's the point of doing this when the person I tag might not read it? But YOU're reading this so HAHAHAHAH!

This is totally unfair. They can totally just arrest undercover agents for invading people's privacy then. WAKE UP WAKE UP WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT HERE, PEOPLE? Arresting the people selling whale meat, or arresting the people reporting the crime?

Two Greenpeace activists who exposed a whale meat embezzlement fraud in Japan -- Junichi Sato and Toru Suzuki -- have been themselves arrested -- for allegedly stealing the whale meat that they turned over to police as evidence.
Demand the Japanese government free the activists

This is the backlash. We've uncovered a scandal involving powerful forces in the Japanese government that benefit from whaling, and it's not surprising they are striking back.

What is surprising is that these activists, who are innocent of any crime, would be arrested for returning whale meat that was stolen from Japanese taxpayers. Theirs are, to date, the only arrests that have been made in the Tokyo public prosecutor's investigation into the embezzlement we documented of millions of yen worth of whale meat.

This was not a police action -- it was an intimidation tactic by the government agencies responsible for whaling -- and the kind of harassment of whistleblowers that a modern democracy should not allow. Our first news that an arrest was imminent came from Japanese television stations. Someone leaked the information to ensure images of Greenpeace activists in handcuffs appeared on news reports in Japan.

More than 40 police officer raided our offices and the homes of the activists, and spent 10 hours seizing cell phones, documents, and computers, despite the fact that we had documented every step of how we obtained the whale meat, turned the full dossier over with the evidence, and made ourselves available to police to help with the investigation at any time. A simple phone call could have brought Junichi and Toru to the police station. Instead, the government made a public spectacle of shutting Greenpeace down.

Don't let Japan shut down the truth. Demand the release of Junichi and Toru and demand an end to the whaling programme in Japan. The corruption of a few bureaucrats who profit from whaling should not be an excuse for harassing those who have exposed it. The domestic and international shame which this scandal is bringing on the Japanese agencies responsible for whaling is just one more reason that Japan should stop its sham scientific whaling programme in the Southern Ocean forever.

Please, take action now and pass this message along to your friends. Let's get Junichi and Toru back with their families, and demand the real criminals go to jail.

Thank you,

The Greenpeace whale team

Talent vogue was SO MUCH MORE than fantabulificent. I don't think I have ever been to a better school concert like WOAH. And I'm so glad I bought the tickets early. It's fully worth the 8 bucks and I betcha next year's tickets would be snapped up in 3 days.

Thanks performers (and guest performers)! You guys were awesome and sexy and TALENTED. And congratulations! Yupp. The Bballers won first prize. I haven't seen that much moshing since me and Cailyn's air guitar thingy we made up at gym chalet! Anyways you guys were fantastic and hilarious and enjoy your BANANA republic, MANGO and APPLE merchandise! (Plus the basket.)

Thanks TALENT TEAM! Thanks for the fantastic hosting, effort and for shamelessly plugging every Thursday. Thursday is the only day I look forward to assembly. Please keep the ads going! Hah but that's a dumb suggestion cause that would be pointless since the show's over.

Yay I love how RGS is crazy and exciting and funny! And HEY XJT'07! I want US to perform next year! We can act bimbotic. WITH APPARATUS. That would be cool but insulting to the sport of R.Gym. But still!

Quote of the day:
"They have such tight butts. There's like no flab at all. Laoshi would love them!"

Weirdest conversation of the day:
"Hey! You told me she could sing, you didn't tell me she could mosh!"
"I told you she could dance."
"(Pause) Okay never mind, that was an unfunny joke."
"Yeah. I don't get it."

Howdy

So, what is this mysterious cabbage-like thing hmm? I discovered it while attacking veg to feed Rabby. Apparently if you cut the end of the xiao bai chye (yup, that's how they spell it) where the stalks meet, you get this cute rose pattern. Cool eh?

So well the first day of school was kinda slack and fun. The new History teacher had to go for a photo shoot so we were left in class watching this video but it only lasted 10 minutes so we just hung around for the remaining 50 minutes. Bio was... weird. I'm not sure what we did. It was more contact time-ish. So the rest of the day went on with people going MIA on account of the CCA/leadership boards photo shoots. And I discovered while running down the spiral staircase that the best way to run in court shoes is to run on tiptoes. So that way the heel won't get in the way. The dancers were still in stage makeup at the time of the PSB photo shoot so they looked scary in a nice way :) LD (I don't really like ED. It's like Health Ed.) photo shoot was kinda sad. And SORRY for wearing my culottes and PE shirt!

Oh yeah and PSB applications are out! But I discovered that lots of people still have the impression that a good PSL is a hyper-laughing-smiling-never-frowning person. In my humble opinion, PSLs can come in all colours and flavours and just by being hyper doesn't make you a good PSL. Quote Rachel Miao "Being a PSL isn't about being bubbly and enthu. It takes a lot of patience to be a very good PSL." Gosh, I can remember that from before Sec One Orientation 2008. I think she said it in Pre-Orientation Training? Yeah so anyways, I do notice that PSLs like me tend to be very high and stuff during PSL sessions but we're doing this to keep the mood happy and stuff and not because it makes us better as PSLs. THAT WAS AN INSIGHTFUL INSIGHT FROM JASMINE AND GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE APPLYING :D

Whoops I gave too many clues away. Sheesh. Fine so there are only two things to do now.
1. Give the recognition.
2. Scream and complain.
I'll do #1 first:)

CONGRATULATIONS MS NURUL :) WE(jasmine) HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE A SHOO-IN TO WIN THIS CONTEST ANYWAYS!(Well, not really haha.) WELL DONE! WHOOHOO! AND YOU WERE SMARTER THAN MS CHENG LYNN WHO THOUGHT I LIKED XMEN 3! YOU HAVE PROVED THAT YOU HAVE GOOD MOVIE KNOWLEDGE LIKE TOTALLAYE SO WELL DONE!

You know what? I'm even gonna buy you something from stall 1 just cause I feel like it :) Well done! So you see, reading Jasmine's blog does pay off!

Right, now for the screaming and complaining.

That was not the least bit fair guys! First you guys complain that I don't give clues, and now I give too many clues and you guys guessed the movie in like 2 weeks! You guys should have known that I'm a horrible clue-giver. Did you see the clues I set for my sister when we were playing treasure hunt? Fine, maybe you didn't but URGH! (Proceeds to sulk in a corner.)

Ok fine it was my fault! I'm not REALLY angry :D

Hello my adoring blog readers! (HAHA)

Since no one has made any guesses yet, I will make it much easier by providing all the clues I can think of in one shot.

1. It was in cinemas in 2007.

2. (Forget about the previous clue #2 cause it doesn't help much) There is a hot actor in it that had many RGS girls fangirling for some time! Well actually it depends on perspective, but some people claim that this other actor was also worthy of being fangirled.

3. It came out in May- June (?)

4. It is the third movie of a series. And the most successful one so far, too! (I can't call it a trilogy because I'm not sure if there's another one coming up.)

5. It is not horror because I never watch horror movies. Neither is it animation. (Not that I don't watch animated flicks.)

6. One of the main characters is a struggling theatre actress.

7. The hot guy dies.

8. A quote " ...wouldn't want us living one second with revenge in our hearts. " If you paid attention to the trailers, you would be able to remember this one!

Yup so there you go. Happy guessing! I can't give too much away cause you get 3 guesses already. Use them wisely.

I don't know why, but I feel like deleting my blog, or moving to xanga or something.

Science Investigative is driving me nuts. The proposal is too SHORT! Something must be wrong I betcha. Plus, the rubrics are for the REPORT right? Right? What is missing I HAVE TO PUT MORE STUFF IN and submit in 13 hours but it just doesn't feel like enough yet and how am I supposed to get enough types of simple sugars for the experiment since some cannot be bought from supermarkets all pretty in plastic sacks? I mean, galactose is present in milk but how am I supposed to get it from the milk? Milk the milk?

Argh forget it I'll skip the galactose then.

Dear feet,

My ballet shoes are getting small. Please stop growing.

Thanks
Jasmine

CLUES to the movie-guessing contest!
1. The movie was in cinemas in 2007
2. I don't watch a lot of movies, so I pick carefully

Aha, what could that mean?

Hello

I'm doing up my Integrated Science project proposal now, so you can start heaving dramatic sighs of relief cause I'll make this quick and non-philosophical. Which actually means kinda superficial, but it's a nicer way of saying it.

OW. I ACHE ALL OVER.

That's all for now. I'll go back to doing my work and hopefully I'll be able to finish it before I fall asleep unglamorous-ly on my pretty computer.
