The Biggest Loser Asia auditions are on TV.

Some of those people could have thyroid problems, it's possible.

Last season's The Biggest Loser ended up 5'6 and 116 pounds.

Hello potato has become my signature greeting, I think I picked it after Hello banana was dismissed. Hello potato rhymes better.

Typing in HTML is weird.

Meh watched New Moon with Lek, Dong and Bebe on Thursday hahaha it wasn't very good, maybe too slow for my liking. It was seriously the slowest full length I've ever watched. At the part where Bella confronts Jacob and they're both standing in the rain trying to form coherent sentences I couldn't help myself and burst out laughing because the melodrama was killing me. :D Good thing I stifled it or I would've ruined the scene for everyone else whoops. Haha so Bebe who was beside me heard and went "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" but I was laughing and couldn't answer properly so she joined in(: Awesomeness ttm!

Bebe got a nice fringe she looks really cute now! But it's only gonna last for December. After that it's back to neat Nan Hua plaits and pinned up fringes):
P.S. Phoebe Yip if you're reading this Lek and I have found some blackmail-worthy pictures of you in your house when you were out, and muahahaha.

TI'10 is nearly over! Reading Germ's post made me remember how we all felt when TI'09 was over and I remember all of us in the hallway outside our dorms and all the sec 3s hugging Ben and getting chased back into our rooms by Hong Laoshi and all finding our luggages too small for our stuff and how when we finally got back to Singapore the first thing we did was organize a mass convo which I had to leave because I was burning hot from the sudden climatic transition (if that's a way to say it). So anyways nothing really ever beats TI'09 for real (:

1. I like Scrubs. It's not super funny, but it's... nice.
2. I wanna go back to Christmas Island someday. Maybe see if I could stand living there for a few weeks. Drastic change of pace?
3. I miss living in Suzhou. I don't get why I didn't miss it as much when I first left, but now I really do.
4. I should go to sleep now.
5. Every point before this one was written starting with an 'I'.
6. I think that means I'm self centered.
7. There goes another one.
8. My to-do list isn't of much help.
9. I have 2 films and 2 montages to complete before the holidays are up.
10. I'm being a horrible RICE deputy. Been gone for too long counting crabs in CI, so Evan's been doing a lot D: D: D:
11. Goodbye.

Hello internet I am back from sleepy little Christmas Island. In comparison to that place, Singapore life is a never ending mad rush. Goodness and we see the same people everywhere because there are like 1504 citizens or something so people can hold 3-4 jobs easily. Plus no stress. Everything closes in the early afternoon for lunch, and everyone knocks off at 9pm. Ms Tan said she'd go mad living there for more than a week because life there is too slow.

I counted three people in CIDistrictHighSchool with glasses. Three out of a possible 250. And 80% of Singaporean males aged 18 and up are myopic. D:

I love that place and it's simplicity (: Except for the gazillion Aedes mosquitoes, poor Glace Rim is spotted all over from bites! Yeah and living in the lodge was quite awesome haha singing Mamma Mia/Don't Trust Me/New Perspective with Grace till late at night, playing Tap Tap, crashing Steph and Lynn's room, buying Aussie candy, camwhoring etc. AWESOME :D

And 27th November is officially Two-Ponytail Day! I think we should start a two-ponytail fad sometime and drive the nation wild :D

PSLTC yesterday (: I don't feel like giving details because I'd end up typing another ridiculously long post, and I hate chunks of text. So all I'll say is I hope the J/PSLs did learn what we set out to teach them, and I hope they're excited about the coming year!

Christmas Island in 31 hours! I haven't started packing. Sheesh okay I'll do it... later tonight.

I love classic Disney movies. Not Camp Rock or stuff like that, just the normal 2D animated stuff. Of course the new movies are great too, but nothing beats the stuff from the '90s, especially the music.
Aladdin was just on Disney channel! Lek was over while it was on, she says it's only her second time watching it, I practically know it by heart. Janne says Jasmine is the hottest Disney girl. I disagree, I think Megara is the hottest and Jasmine comes in a close second.

A roll of char siew chee cheong fun is only 65 calories. Remember that.

I've never watched Scrubs. But this song I stumbled upon from My Musical (the episode where this woman who ends up in the hospital sees everything musical-form) is so nice (:





Now I think watching Scrubs would be a fabulous idea.

Hello I am back again because as you may or may not know, I tend to write very long posts so to avoid having ugly big chunks on my blog I split my posts. Yes so anyways, after (a)parallel and Meg's "I'm not good at anything" speech I have been thinking about fortes and how it seems most people know their fortes quite well (if you watch HSM you'll know what I mean). Like how my Grandma can sing well and my Grandpa can do business stuff well and my cat can sleep very, very well.
So then I was thinking, do I have a forte? Then I thought maybe not, because I do not have a fabulous singing voice, I cannot run as fast as I would like to, I am not particularly charismatic, and I certainly do not rock at blogging. So I decided to settle for trying to be good, which is...good enough. Or I could be good at being average, if that sounds better. :D

So today me, Giwon, Julia, Persa, Amanda, Verna, Cat, Charm, Chanel and Yufei turned up for school. (That sentence is grammatically unsound but whatever.) That's 33.3333333333...% of 307.
Hooray!
Uhm so the school day was composed of Malay dance, violin and guitar duets, cute Australian song, bridge, Chanel's creative bidding strategies, clay, koping food from sec 2 ACP, screaming, CCA photos, singing aloud and well, all the usual. Life is pretty good.

Oh yes RachelTan and I went to meet Andy again love love love his office yay! And we got Juan Foo as our film mentor! (If you don't know Google him:) Spent an hour and a half reviewing our entry and talking about how to re shoot certain scenes, tidy some stuff up and I got goosebumps watching that piece of work again esp. when Juan un-muted the music because there were so many obvious flaws. I am pretty glad that we get a second chance at this thingum.

My blog is boring TTM so I will say something exciting. HAORONG AND HAOYU ARE COMING TO RGS. Yes, they are. I BET YOU DON'T KNOW THEM. Okay I phail at exciting.
I will say something else that is exciting. I WORE A PRETTY DRESS TODAY. Gawk and gasp all you like, people. Okay fine maybe I'll give up exciting and continue being boring.

Hello so a lot has been happening lately and most of it fun (:

Yesterday was fun! Had PSB Night practice in school at 11 it's gonna be awesomeeeeee and I will NOT bust my shin this year. Oh choir concert was great too, I can't sing like those kids can. They totallaye deserved a GWH!

OH AND AFTER THAT I MET MY MOM AND DONG AND LEK AND BEBEYIP. Dong, Lek and Bebe were swimming at Safra when I arrived and we drove to Seletar Country Club for Brendan Lau's birthday. Imagine a one year old having a birthday banquet in the ballroom complete with blown up banners of himself and WAITERS running around refilling glasses. Cool eh? And guess which crew turned up wearing shorts and T shirts? Nobody seemed to really care, at least.

Then after that drove to Sembawang park where we did monkey bars and the swings plus volleyed a green balloon from the party. Bebe and Lek got addicted to Oven Break on my phone.

Today went to Changi Airport to send the TI people off but guess what I was late so only Germaine was still outside the departure gates ): Well at least I didn't go for nothing! HAVE FUN IN TAIWAN, PEOPLE! GERM REMEMBER THE SARSAPARILLA AND TELL ME ABOUT THE OTHER TI KIDS SO I CAN FB STALK THEM ALL.

Jiayun, TZY, Ben and Ryan were there too, but Ryan had to leave. So I followed Jiayun to the foodcourt to watch Ben and Zhiyuan eat their lunch. Ben says the strange guy who asked me to be his friend the day before was a perv who made the news before.

Jiayun: Different people have different interests. Mine are eating and sleeping!

Dodgeball was fun today! Was supposed to ref but we didn't have enough players so the refs played too. Haha it's like slacking and laughing and screaming and throwing and jumping and more laughing. Awesome IHG. If nobody organises it next year I WILL COMPLAIN (:
And Richardson owned IHGs yay! But I guess it was kinda more for fun this time because it's only among sec 3s so haha just hope everyone had fun today. Winning feels goood though :D
Took some pics with housemates. You know I Never Knew Wanshuen Was In Richardson whoops.

Netcarn tomorrow we're (again) unprepared but can't wait! Netball is fun.

Karaoke was pretty fun. Smrithi was awesome as MJ and Alanna's beatboxing was super cool! Aha and we didn't prepare much but at least we went up there and finished the song?

The less you eat, the more you gain!
Yes, dude, there is a grain of truth in there. So today I made myself eat lunch in an attempt to un-screw my screwed metabolism. I think most of the stuff we do (or don't do) is habitual.

Argh this foreign number called and I accidentally rejected the call and was blur enough to call back WITH MY HANDPHONE only to find that it was some (assumed) person from China who called the wrong number D:

Emily, Gloria and Zi En are at AMK hub eating durian pancakes haha.

Okay I admit I have nothing interesting to tell the world as of now.

HELLO BLOGGER. I AM BACK!

For those who don't know, I went on a blogger/msn/fb ban before the EYAs. To end on November 1st. So here I am (:

Oh dear it's like November already aren't we all getting old? I was in the car the other day and I concluded my childhood was prematurely and forcefully ended with the onset of something called SECONDARY SCHOOL. RARR.

Yeap so Penang was pretty okay but since mom was there playing property agent I didn't do anything much but mooch around and provide free labour. First step to taking over Eunikem haha nah kidding. Oh and Jillian is cute TTM! Her favourite words are Mama, Papa and WHEEE. Like when we're sitting in the car she'll randomly go WHEEE. And once she put a wool scarf under one foot and discovered how slidey (not a real word) it was to walk like that so she went WHEEE while tottering around the house. And everyone says I looked and acted just like her when I was 2 too haha.

Me: She's such a happy little baby (: (:
Mom: You were like that once, until you turned into this tired old lady.

Aw.

Julia is 6 but she wears the clothes I wore when I was 10. Oh and she's smart, you can tell she learned how to speak watching Playhouse Disney because she says things like "There you go again!" which is pretty funny-amusing.

Karaoke tomorrow! Oh dear. Aha have very little prepared but last minute work is always the best. At least for me. 307!

EYAs coming soon!

Oh no physics physics physics = die ): Hopefully can scrape through with a 2.8 at least. It's not that awesome but it's okay considering the state of my physics grade right now.

If I didn't go for TI, I think I'd hate Chinese, but I did so I don't hate Chinese. I mean, isn't it better to like something you're struggling with than hate it? :D

Haha went to extra at the TI'09 meeting at the flagpole (: feels good to be a generation ahead. With the backpack, too.

Credits to Ryan Seah for nudging me to update.

OK I know I've been ignoring this blog (:

IHG cheer cum dance was awesome! RGS Cheerleaders are cool. And and you can really see they're enjoying themselves up there despite the smallish audience.

Lynn: We are BOOMZ dynamite
We are not RAD, or KHAKI, we are BLUE

Haha, Lynn (: You're a great capt even with your evil plans and stuff! Oh yeah and Richardson had a good crowd! Plus I think the biggest house comm. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR COMING<3


And today on the 980 I met Shen Laoshi. I was like trying to remember the last time I saw her, and I realised it was LAST JULY. JULY 11. GYM COMP. Wow.

She said hi and stuff and asked me how I was and I struggled to gather my thoughts and express them in borderline-understandable Chinese. I was half waiting for her to tell me I got fatter since last comp (because I think I did) but it never came and I was strangely disappointed but then realised Why would she even say that in the first place?

And I really really really miss all the gym people that I haven't seen for so long e.g. awesome IJTP gymmers ): And I remember I thought Shen Laoshi was scary the first training with her in E block but of course that never stuck (:

Today was a good day

Ah gosh just came back from j8 where we attempted lit PT (: Key word: attempted. Hey at least we tried!

And I'm gonna leave the house in 15 minutes for piano at CCK oh man I can't believe exam is Monday and I'm not freaking out.

And I'm a wreck right now all because I didn't cool down after running yesterday. Like my feet were burning hot and I had to stick them in ice water. And my hands were trembling at dinner. But it's all good now. Almost (: I don't wanna go for piano. But I must. So bye.

Today was a good day (:

Met the TI kids again but this time there were only hmm 9 of us? So spent most of the day at Bishan Active where the guys played basketball for most part. I got 2 blisters from the monkey bars. One is broken and ouch it hurts like crazy now. Not to mention how gross it is. AND I NEVER GET BLISTERS FROM ROPE. Wow. Did a bit of practice shooting. Phail rate was like 95% whoops gotta do something about that. Oh then Jiayun came.

jia yun is awesome (:

Jia yun says: (8:42:20 PM)
u are too of course
jasmine says: (8:44:00 PM)
yay!

And then Yinxin came some time later on so Jiayun and Yinxin and I talked a lot. YES HAHA JIAYUN YOU ARE AWESOME (: AND YINXIN IS ALSO AWESOME (: And oh yes it was freakishly hot today. Like now my arms are a little red, but not burnt. And I stubbed my toes against the walls of my sneakers a lot so now they hurt too. Lousy sneakers D:

Sooo later on went to J8 to eat. At this point in time Yinxin and Jiayun decided to pangseh me and Zhiyuan joined in. And Marcus got his present! That giant plastic milk bottle thing with a monkey inside (:

Uh okay so after that we split.

edit:
Jotdan wants to be awesome too so Jotdan is awesome! Haha kidding I know it's you, Jordan. How on earth did your finger slip to the T on the keypad -.- Anyways since you (indirectly) asked for that
YES, JORDAN IS AWESOME TOO(:

Oh and just so everyone else (who is not Jiayun or Yinxin or Jordan) doesn't feel left out
YOU'RE AWESOME TOO(:

Holidays! As expected, the to-do list has been growing and growing at a healthy rate (: Or maybe ):

I don't know. Both?

So I have a lot of math to catch up on considering I missed another all-important lesson (aren't they all?) on Thursday and I spent most of Friday's struggling to copy all the worksheet answers down (the relief teacher writes amazingly fast on whiteboard). Yeah and doing rubbish with Emily and Zi En like going "I UNDERSTAND! HAH!" and then finding that the time you had taken off to exclaim your ecstasy significantly set you back for the next question. Emily says specs make me look intellectual.


And and I hate that I ran so much today but I don't feel accomplished AT ALL because I could've gone faster and as a result of my slackness I don't even feel like I ran at all. In fact, I think I just let myself jog most of the time ): Shall go read Pearl Izumi's Running Preservation book for motivation for tomorrow(: http://www.wearenotjoggers.com/home#/book/
That's really good stuff.


"A long time ago, I was on the verge of committing suicide when a guy came to the roof to have lunch. He saw me climbing over the railing and asked me to share his lunch with him. After receiving my puzzled look, he explained, “everyone should die happy. or at least with a full stomach.” We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last month. GMH."
Wow.
In case you're wondering, GMH=Gives Me Hope (http://www.givesmehope.com)


I love how Motion City Soundtrack can actually perform lyrics that wouldn't otherwise have looked like lyrics. And make them really good. So much better than Breaking Free, which couldn't really hide the strange lyrics as well. I mean, it sounds good if you don't pay attention to the way the lines don't really flow like how they're supposed to but if you do it's pretty ...
So anyways I liked Hold Me Down by MCS. If you look at the video on YouTube the comments section has become a breakup advice help forum haha which is pretty cool. And which also proves how great MCS is at writing songs.

I'm sorry that you were asleep when I wrote these words down
You'd think I ought to be used to that by now
Save for a few of those late night episodes, missed opportunities, And I don't cares; There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share or talk about
I'll have my brothers stop by this Saturday to pick up my things
Just make sure you're not there
This may sound bad and don't take it the wrong way

I mean, does this LOOK like a song to you? And yet it sounds sooo good! Or maybe just to me (: Now I finally understand why breakups make for such great songwriting material. Separate Lives, Goodbye Love etc. all great breakup songs.

Haven't seen my SPS friends for such a long time. Saw SIX of them today (: Beckham, Dillon, Jason, Jiaqing, Rachel and Wenxiang (in alphabetical order!). We went to Causeway and stuff. The movie couldn't play so now I have 2 free tickets wheeee! Maybe I'll go watch Up cause Yao Yuan said it was awesome. Who's with me?
Yeah so now all the guys are taller than I am. Sad, right? But if it was the other way round it'd be even sadder. But everyone's pretty much the same. Rachel says I've acquired an accent. And my Chinese is still weird as ever haha actually I think it got worse since I went to RG.
And Beckham lost her iPhone! So we went back to the empty theater to look for it thank goodness iPhones don't have silent, only vibrate! Dillon felt the seat vibrating and pried the cushion off and ta-dah there it was. The epitome of awesomeness. Don't we all love happy endings (:
Apparently I'm already pretty tall for a girl and RGS girls are not accurate gauges for girl height. But I still have to catch up with Nerd and Jordan at least! 4cm more!

On Wednesday, a bunch of Zien's debate juniors decided I had the dao look and that it was likely that I am a basketballer.

HAHAHA IT'S OKAY GO AHEAD AND LAUGH I LAUGHED TOO (:

Seriously, nobody's ever told me I looked like a basketballer in my life! Plus, I bet the fact that I was wearing a black hoodie influenced my dao factor significantly. But then again, it was a PSB hoodie with a big pink heart and a pink girl in front.
