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.

Hmm

I'm ranting on my blog a lot. And most of the time I don't wanna give everything away so everything's vague that makes people think I'm emo or took too many panadols or something. And if I'm not complaining, I apologise a lot or publicise or (in the rare event) talk about events or something.

SO I'm gonna do something different. I'm gonna do one of those blog quizzes which aren't really quizzes cause you give answers but there are no CORRECT answers. Actually I've done one before way way back like on May 11 2007. This one's from JoOu's friend Fik's blog. Thanks, even if I don't actually know you personally. I only remember this name cause you're the Richardson sec 4 level co-ord, aren't you?

It's harder than it looks! Copy and paste to your own journal, erase my answers, and add your own.
Use the 1st letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real places, names &/or objects, but nothing made up! Try to use different answers if the person you got this from has the same 1st initial. You CAN'T use your name for the boy/girl name question. And Have Fun With It!!!


1) 4 LETTER WORD: Jump (What I do a lot.)
2) BOY NAME: Jay-Z (Hah!)
3) GIRL NAME: Jamie (I like that name.)
4) OCCUPATION: Jumper (Not the supernatural movie kind, I was thinking more of, long jumper or high jumper?)
5) A COLOR: Jade (I had to look up wikipedia for this because my range of Colour Vocabulary isn't what you'd call impressive.)
6) SOMETHING YOU WEAR: Jumper (Again, not the athlete or movie kind. I was thinking more of a sweater.)
7) BEVERAGE: Juice
8) FOOD: Jalapeno peppers (Not that I eat those.)
9) SOMETHING FOUND IN A BATHROOM: Jelly soak (The stuff you can buy from Robinsons that comes in powder form and turns to jelly when you put it in a tub of water.)
10) A PLACE: Jurassic Park (Or Jamaica.)
11) REASON FOR BEING LATE: Jam on the B.K.E./ C.T.E./ P.I.E./ any other jammable place
12) SOMETHING YOU SHOUT: JUMP!

What is it with me and jumping? Thinking of inter-house long jump too much? Probably. I NEED TO TRAIN. I'M GETTING UNFIT. And reading Feeling Sorry For Celia isn't helping either. Elizabeth (the protagonist) trains like 10km everyday. And she came in TOP 5 in the Forest Hill Half Marathon. Like woah. I really admire her. It's like the first time I've ever found myself admiring a fictional character who never does her homework. But then again, even if she doesn't get an education, she's already adequately smart enough PLUS she'll probably end up becoming a long distance runner anyways. I really love the book. Read it after I return it to the Deborah Tan library.

A FEW MINUTES AFTER I PUBLISHED THIS POST

GASP. I can't believe how similar my answers are to Jo's! But not a lot of words start with J anyways.

I love GMs :) I love GMs :) Open house was fun :) Laoshi thinks we're getting better :) I'm actually READING again :) 30 reasons not to be in a play :)

I hate my url now. Maybe I should change it. Again.

I bought a swimsuit last week. First time in 8 years. For some reason, people just love giving me swimsuits so I don't have to buy any.

Hi, Wen Jia Ying. I am not an emokid. Life just bares its cruel pointed ugly teeth at me. You don't understand. Nobody can understand. Life hurts? Hah! An understatement, don't you think? Fine, I'm joking.

LAST LAST FRIDAY

Me, Maria, and Ting went for lunch at NYNY :) Had an aggression session with Janne at the bus stop first and that turned out kind of weird in a funny way.

Maria: Alright, imagine Jasmine told some horrible lies about you that got you kicked out of PSB
Me(looks appalled): Hey!
Janne(in a sad disappointed angry tone): Jasmine how could you!!

NO(!!) I'm not the evil kind even though Ting suspects me of having secret evil intentions. She says I look like I'm hiding evil intentions inside my evil brain.

Anyways it was great fun :)

PHOTOS!

110th post. How ironic.

RAWRRRR

Not emo, just frustrated. And a little disappointed. Such a pity, cause I had a lovely day today sitting at briefings, scrubbing the class, GOING OUT WITH MARIA AND TINGFANG and SL-ing. Shall post about it when I'm done with the PSB video.

My posts get weirder and weirder. Go for Pangea Day!

Pangea Day is a global day of film that aims to provide viewers to see through the eyes of the other. In a world torn by conflict and opposing views, the creators of Pangea Day have thought it to be immensely important that people should understand the worldview of others, and that film would be the best medium to achieve this objective. On May 11 at 0200hrs SGT, official Pangea Day sites in Cairo, Kigali, Los Angeles, mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, and london will be connected through a 4-hour live simulcast featuring a program of powerful films, visionary speakers and uplifting music.

RJC will be hosting a screening of Pangea Day on May 12th, Monday as well! So come on down after your exams to relax and just enjoy award winning films and listen to the stories told by people around the world!

Venue: Hodge Lodge Time: 2-6pm!
Come on down to RJC's very own student's lounge and enjoy the movie in our mini theatre! Promised to be a comfortable and relaxing experience =)

Venue: Canteen Time: 315-715pm!
Enjoy a refreshing drink as you watch the movies in our canteen! Enjoy the films in the company of friends!

Venue: Amphitheatre Time: 315-715pm!
Sit with groups of friends in the amphitheatre, you can even play a game of Monopoly or other board games while watching the movies!

This screening will definitely be an eye-opener, so come on down after your exams and just...chill out!

For more information one can go to:

Forward this email out to all your friends! Spread the news about Pangea!
This post is for everyone, but especially for my 202 mummy Alicia Claire Tan, also known as ACTooby.

Jasmine
One thing you have to know about this person, is that she may seem very emo sometimes, which is very unlucky for Trina because she's the first schoolmate she talks to (or ignores) in the morning since she takes the same school bus as me. Anyways, we said MAY, because in actual fact, 80% of the time she's just very tired and can't be bothered talking to anyone cause she has to conserve her energy in order to not fall asleep in class in a rather embarrassing posture on her desk. For the other 20%, she's just complaining about her life in her head, about all the things she missed out on or about how she never gets enough time to engage in activites like play with her neglected soft toys. (Sometimes, she'll even complain on her blog.) Therefore, do not worry about her too much because she's soon to try to get everything sorted out, and before you know it, she'll be happy and non-emo again! :)
Hello everyone

MYAs are over. Sad. You know, it's actually been the second-best week I've had so far this year. Sleeping early sure makes a lot of difference to my mood and my level of zombieness. Plus it's cool going home early and getting to take really empty MRT trains home! They're usually so crowded I can hardly breathe. PLUS I realised I can enjoy mugging :O Call me weird.

Oh wow this is my SECOND MYA already. I'm growing old so fast.

I suppose I should stop thinking and saying that I had a bad time in SPS. I mean, yeah, there were a lot of things I didn't like about the school, a lot of uneventful happenings, a lot of other things I wish I could forget about. But there were still people I regarded as my friends, teachers I liked, and some fun times like Sing Singapore and P6 Inter-class Games.

Presenting of scripts was good. I like speaking to an audience. Even if the audience is like my class and I'm making an announcement. But the sec 2s only got to do one piece cause of that NSW International Science Competition that made us late. I liked Tiffany's "Flopsie". My monologue was utterly boring. Maybe I should try another one and email it to Michael Corbridge if I have the time. Thank you to everyone who came to watch!

"When I heard the scream, I came out of the cupboard and slipped on something wet, then I fell on mom. I thought she would catch me, but she didn't. She didn't." - Flopsie
I really really don't mean to be high. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. It's bad cause sometimes I'm not controlling it and it makes people think I'm not to be taken seriously.

I have a lot of nice sensible things I want to say. It's just that I don't always find the premise to do so. That's why I like MGMs I guess. It keeps my high down, and it's keeps my good talk UP.

I'm sorry about GMs. A lot of people= Jasmine forgets to shut up. But really I did mean the teddy bear rubber band thing. And the tape up the homework cupboard thing.

And I just get happy when I'm with the board. I just get very very very happy, cause I love what we do and I love my job and I love everyone.

Sorry world. I will try HARDER to not get too happy. It's annoying, even to me.

The yearbook is super thick. It's inspirational reading on its own. I mean, look at all the awesome award-winning people inside. And look at all the conferences and overseas trips and conventions they send all the pro student leaders and people to. It's kinda funny cause the most inspirational people aren't just those famous ones like Jane Goodall, but fellow schoolmates. Also known as seniors. People who study in the same classrooms as us, cheer in the same amphi as us, and sleep on the same desks as us. It kinda makes you think. There's more to being in this school than just being a student. There's so much more we can achieve, like these people did. And it's not just the leadership positions and awards, it's the differences they made and the legacy they're continuing as RGS girls. Wow. I feel like we have a lot to live up to. One day those people in the yearbook will be our very own batchmates. Wow.

My headache is coming back. Ow I thought it was gone. My mom says I'm gonna get sicker if I don't stop sleeping so late. I hope concert goes well.

Goodbye long weekend. Goodbye June hols.

OHNOOO I feel like my life is screwed again so WATCH OUT GINA cause you'll be sitting next to a crazy emokid tomorrow if I don't stop whining soon.

It's not worth emoing. It's not worth emoing. It's not worth emoing.

Maybe I should go talk to a sec 3 and listen to their complaints. Then I'll learn to appreciate my life better.

Last PSL session today. I was kinda sad but I didn't cry. Wow. I'm still impressed. This is the second time this year when I was prepared to cry but didn't. Which is a good thing :) I mean, can you imagine me crying in front of all my niners?

PSL session was good, but I missed the discussions. Discussions were actually my favourite part of PSL sessions last year. I like discussions, I love MGMs and stuff like that. I just don't show it cause I look very dead as compared to when I'm hyper and crazy. That's my getting-seriouser look, NOT my bored look. I don't smile when I'm thinking too hard. I mean, who does?

But PSL session was still goood! I loved them last year, I love them this year. And most of all, I LOVE MY SEC ONES! They're an absolutely fantastic class, and the reason why I haven't become the petrified forest of Singapore. No, make that the petrified tree. I'M REALLY PROUD OF MY NINERS. REALLY REALLY REALLY. And they're soo sweet! They gave me this cute hallmark mug and stuffed it with notes! I added them to my note collection. (Seee, I keep all your words of encouragement okay!)

Food twister was the highlight of today! Try putting your hands in a jar of peanut butter, and your feet in a jar of kaya, and you see how it's done. Argh but it's so messy cause we forgot to put newspaper below the food! I think I would've been super freaked out if someone made me play too, because I'd hate to have to try to get rid of all the mucky stuff stuck onto me. But it'll still be fun I guess.

It was also good cleaning up after debrief. I think we (109 i/cs) really bonded while mopping the basketball courts. Like, what a way to bond! But yup, it was fun. MGM was good too, even though like I said, I look very blur during discussions. Just something I noticed today.
I WANNA JOIN PSB :)

Yay I finally got my new leotard and jazz pants! I wanted the one Ting has but they ran out of those in my size. Argh. Oh well, but mine is pretty too! Once again, COME WATCH GYM CONCERT!

What a nong nong post.

Sports Fest today! :D :D :D

And sports fest is fun, okay, Yu Jia!

Hmm well actually I wished everyone was louder and that my throat didn't hurt so much. But still, good job everybody! Whoohoo Richard got second! Just like last year. But it doesn't really matter what we get for overall, cause we know that our house spirit is there and it's super strong and VERY LOUD. Watching mass dance was kinda funny. I mean, the dance was nice but it makes you wonder if you looked like that last year. Like "Woah, people could see me all the way over there?" But still, well done sec 1s!

I'm super proud of my fellow Richardsonians for showing so much house spirit! I was kinda afraid that you guys would have become un-enthu but you all DIDN'T! And I'm super proud of the sec 2s and Dharani for going for house dinner. Sharon said that house dinner was usually a house comm- sec 1 thing, but TRADITIONS CAN CHANGE RIGHT? (Think The Whale Rider).

It was great seeing the JC 1 house comm people again. Brings back fond memories of us when we were sec 1s. I MISS HOUSE PRAC. We should be allowed to go for fun, wouldn't that be great? But the poor house comm :( Ada was totally disgusted by the oneohonenians's sick comments and jokes. I don't blame her :) but I'm used to them.

Thanks you house comm! Yesterday was fantastic!

And the only thing that matters,
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 35

If you didn't know, that's from Bowling For Soup's High School Never Ends.

I guess RGS is a very different school in the sense that you don't see so much of the problems the heroes/heroines face in chick flicks. (Where there are these evil cheerleaders and geeks who wear their pants up to their armpits and rebels smoking.) But we face a very different set of problems.

No prizes for guessing what.

I remember that day Irina (I think it was her) said that when you're Sec 3 you just feel like your whole world comes crashing down. And Shze Hui says that sleeping at 1am is very normal. And that answering every question in the Maths paper is Mission Impossible 4. And a whole bunch of other stuff I hear Sec 3s talk about. I feel like I have no right to complain about workload anymore. Can I just stay Sec 2 forever?

Right now I'll just enjoy being a Sec 2 while it lasts.
