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.

NEED FREE RECOGNITION?
Then this contest is for (points at your nose) yes, you!

Simply be the first to guess what Jasmine's favourite movie is by 1st August (exactly one month away). It's that simple! Plus, if you're from RGS(S), you will even be congratulated personally by Jasmine herself!

Contest rules:
1. Leave all your guesses on the tagboard.
2. Every participant will be entitled to three guesses.
3. The management will not be held responsible for any injury or loss of life (or worse) suffered by participants during the course of this contest.
4. Prizes may be subject to change. (There may be a mystery prize!)
5. This contest is only for fun and we strongly advise you to NOT spend too much time (or money) (or sleep) in trying to think of movie names. You never know.
6. Any foul play such as blackmail, phishing etc. discovered by the management will result in the participant losing eligibility to participate in this contest.
7. I thought no one read contest rules.

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!


Before and after

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.

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.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry for emoing so much nowadays. School's just been kinda weird.

ORA ORA ORA TOMORROW! BUY PSB JELLY COCONUTS THEY'RE REALLY YUMMY! Trust me :)

OR

OM OM OM GO SUPPORT! The OM people worked really hard so MUST SUPPORT IF YOU CAN ok?

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.

#1 JoHo and Yen Yee can really rap :D

#2 I throw my rope best when I'm thinking about everything BUT gym.

#3 I'm zombie-ing through my life. It's like I'm there but I'm not there.

#5 I love my house. I love my house. I love my house. I love my house. I LOVE MY HOUSE RICHARDSON.

#6 I love 109 and 109 i/cs a lot a lot.
