i feel quite accomplished. but for the wrong reasons. i've managed to complete the entire power series tut as well as homeostasis+liver tut. why? cos i wanted to put off doing the pc essay as long as possible. i just dunno how to start. gd news is, the monsoon season will soon be officially over!!!! yay!!! okay, mebbe it isn't such a big deal in s'pore cos we're hardly affected anyway, and it's no longer so rainy and everyth... but end of monsoon season = can go diving again! problem is how to find the time. now i realli gotta start on the essay.
just when i managed to get my parents to pay for the lit trip, i am told tt there will most likely be a grade requirement. looks like i wont be going after all... dammit. for once i wish i had loads of relatives in s'pore so i can visit them and get $$$$. unfortunately wishing will not make dozens of generous and wealthy relatives materialize. i have only 1 grandmother on my mom's side, my dad's in hk (he's the onli one who'd be willing to give me loads of money and spoil us all) and all my cousins and other married relatives are in m'sia and we visited them not long ago and frankly, even if they lived nearby i'm not sure i'd like to see them again. they'd just be forcing their sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits on my sisters and i and we'd end up several pounds heavier or worse. plus, they speak mostly chinese. if u've heard me speaking chinese,u'll know wat i mean. shudders the size of earthquakes. lots of ppl i noe have baked loads of cookies and stuff like tt. not me. unless my sis is bighearted enough to do some more baking, looks like we'll be either buying or going without CNY food. which is terribly oily and artery-clogging anyway. at least the fridge is well-stocked with fruits. no, strike that. well-stocked with oranges. not mandarin oranges, but oranges. last wk we bought 30 oranges. 30! wait. i checked. i've eaten so many tt there's less than half left. tonight the market will be open till late/when they sell everything. who's gonna get up at 2am to buy groceries that can hardly be fresh after an entire day and night? on the topic of oranges, ytd's bio pract had sth to do with oranges. a quarter of an orange, to be exact. but, seeing how my table always seems to be the slowest to complete the pract (and proud of it =p) we had no time (and cldn't be bothered) to do the orange juice part of the expt. i did, however, want to eat it. but since the knife wasn't washed before cutting it, i left the pathetic quarter of orange lying on the table. the prac was realli a stupid waste of time. dumped more than 60 drops of 4.0mg/cm3 acid in the DCPIP and still cldn't get it to decolourise. wonder how the tchrs cld've gotten their results of 1 drop. okay i realli shld get started on my pc essay.
:::::PADI Diving Society Inaugural Event: -4 Days/4 Nights liveaboard to Similan Islands, Surin Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock -12 dives with full board and meals -Full dive equipment rental excluding dive computer rental -3 Days hotel stay in Phuket -Feb 18-25 -$$ :::::Lit trip to UK: -$$$$$ dammit why
height and weight today during pe. why issit tt girls seem to worry so much abt weight-taking? some ppl actually go on a diet just so the numbers on that one sheet of paper will be slightly smaller. besides, weight is not the perfect indication of one's fitness. knew this girl who was totally fit n athletic but who was overweight and got put on some health program. all cos she had more muscle mass. being light does not mean healthy. cld be mostly fats. i grew 1 cm! anyway... no bio s today. and since andrea dint get a reply abt pc lesson, the sch day ended at 2 today! yay dance exam in 7 wks time. my hair how? still way too short to tie a bun. quote ms tan: 'look at her pony tail! i mean, mouse tail.' during dance i use countless hair pins just to keep the hair up so it wont flop ard my face when i jump. i realli realli wanna go on lit trip. it sounds so nice. and it's actually v worth it. but 5k is still 5k... according to farah, the desaru trip to see an ostrich farm can be an alternative to the lit trip, as 'there are no ostriches in london'. weird logic, but it is 100 times cheaper...
last time i blogged was few days ago... still not fully recovered, but at least no more vomiting and less freq trips to the toilet. decided tt fridays r my least fave day out of all the days on our timetable. bio lect, bio tut, then bio s. how horrid is tt? and today since there was no xtra lit lesson after pe i had to waste away 2 hrs waiting for bio s to start. at least i managed to finish the bloody huge amt of mcqs for ecology tut. bio s was also a waste of time, altho it did make me regret my choice even more. oh well. and for gp: gotta read tt unbelievably long article and do an AQ on it. why why why why? i alr did aqs for other articles. why tt one of all the articles to choose frm!? tgif
went to see the doc again today (mom insisted). got a whole new batch of medicine. urrgh. and had to wait for ages. yy2 baked 3 whole batches of cookies - oatmeal, peanut butter n choc chip - on saturday and I do so wanna eat AND enjoy them but no luck! still no oily/dairy products for me. i did try a few of the cookies, tho, and had stomachaches after each time, but they're real gd. another difference btwn yy2 n me: budding cook vs. home-econs dropout. haha, i dint actually dropout but u get the idea. ytd was kinda hoping the entire s'pore wld flood n sch'd be cancelled but turns out i dint need to hope cos i ended up not having to go anyway. yy2 had better agree to bake some more when i get well so i can fully enjoy the fruits of her labour :-p
this sux. haven't gotten proper exercise since, like, forever. at least a week. i miss going swimming. ytd during pe i was exempted (MC, not 'parent' letter! for the 1st time i think :-p) and the onli 'exercise' i got was catching the ball during captain's ball, which hardly counts cos all i did was hop ard and wait for the ball to hurtle towards me. if i've lost any weight, it wont be just due to the vomiting n diarrhea, but also cos my muscles have all atrophied, or sth. but then again who'll have the energy to run/swim if her diet has consisted of nth but watery porridge, plain bread and other non oily, non-dairy, not-cold food (doc's orders). whenever i eat anyth solid i either feel like vomiting or get a terrible stomachache after. i'm alr tired after typing up to here.
been eating nth but plain porridge and plain bread since sunday. my appetite has yet to return. even tho i realized today tt there's realli a Subway in rj, i had no appetite to eat anyth frm it. the medicine i've to take realli sux. so terribly sweet. arrgh at least i dun need to make such freq trips to the toilet now. rushed thru the entire bio tut when i returned frm sch. finally done! the essay qns are such a waste of time. nth but copying frm the notes. and so repetitive. how's this s'posed to help? took a look at the timetable today n realized tt there's a huge time gap btwn PE on fri and bio S. which means i'll have to wait hours for a subj i'm not sure i even wanna take now. spotted q a few sc ppl today. most of whom i recognize as yy2's sec 2 classmates. oso heard a lot of the sc b-ball team got into rj too. wonder why the bballers frm my batch chose hc rather than rj.
I've never felt less productive during any sch hols. can no longer be bothered with GP. or bio. or chem. or math. plus, currently suffering from a mild case of food poisoning. don't ask. [sick and tired]
Just returned from Malaysia. Again. Anyway this time we went to visit relatives on my dad's side. Stayed over at my cousin's house and got to see all my cousins, nieces/nephews, grandnieces/grandnephews and also my uncle. my eldest cousin (i think) is 50 years old. One of my nieces is my age, and a few of my cousins have grandchildren. cos i see my relatives so infrequently I can't begin to keep track of who is who. also went to one of my cousin's stepbro's house and it's HUGE AND CHEAP compared to s'pore prices. enough land for a swimming pool :D. looked like some Columbian drug lord's villa or sth, all bricky with palm-trees and wood and steps. some other houses in the neighbourhood had enuff space in the driveway for abt 4 cars, and still had leftovers. this morning after sending my dad off at the senai airport we went straight down to jb customs and it was practically EMPTY! it's been the 1st time since I can rmb tt i dint haf to queue for ages. tmr's the last day. loads of unfinished stuff arrgh after the monsoon season |
