last night was probably one of my more harrowing ones.
whilst writing bailus testimonial and editing mine, my microsoft word suddenly started hanging, so i task-manager-forced it to close, thinking that i'll just open the previously saved copy and add in that one last sentence that makes everything perfect.
except, when i reopened it, it was not the previously saved version. no, it was not even any of my saved versions. everything after the sentence i was editing was completely wiped out, so all that was left of my 5 perfectly written, perfectly edited testimonials was majority of my self-testimonial.
yes, i was devastated. and angry.
after spending some time trying to recover it, but knowing it highly impossible considering the version i had now did not resemble any versions i previously saved, i redid the entire thing.
and then sent it out as soon as i finished with it.

my sister has kindly informed me that the sweet plot of land rgs sits on is worth 2 billion dollars. and is about to be sold to some condo developer or something.
not surprising. with the prices ardmore park fetch, ill pay 2 bill to build a condo on rgs land too. too bad we dont own our own land like hwach does, or we'll be quite rich soon.
i wonder where the new rgs is designated to be though. i sincerely hope its at least larger than our current plot. but i guess i have to agree, a school doesnt really need to be on such good land, we just need to keep our teachers, our students and our own spirit.
which i hope we still would, even with the proximity to our brother schools. it would be a pity if we took this proximity and shared facilities to mean a shared school spirit and system. no doubt, we are all rafflesians, but being an rgs is still miles away from being an ri boy. or even an ri girl. ask anyone.

ive gotten myself out of that stupor, and i dont know if i miss it or not.
maybe.
--
poops ive been so unproductive these 2 days! argh. i hate it how we have so much to cover and all the teachers are like USE YOUR TIME WISELY but i know no matter how wisely we use it it'll never be wisely enough because WE HAVE SO MANY SUBJECTS.
that all decided to test everything.
yay. lets just jump off the ledge now.
--
idk why im not sleepy now. i should be. but i think ive had a bit too much cocoa today.
high~~

betcha paused here for 3 minutes just to listen to the song (at least i did!) its really good omg.
anws, today was such a long day i cant believe its not over yet!
school was blessedly short, since gp is no gp and econs had no teacher, so we were let off at 10.45! went off to adventist for my last visit (although the aunties were all very happy to see me and i felt so bad for not going for so long so maybe ill go once in a while after this) but before that i went to the phoon huat at toa payoh to buy all the necessities and i got myself a new springform pan! cant wait to try it out ^^ i want to make pretty cheescakes!
phoon huat is srsly a bakers paradise lah. anything you would like under the sun, although i didnt find cherry flavouring. but i wasnt looking too hard. but being in that small space filled with possibilities was quite... high-inducing.
wasnt long before i realised that toa payoh hub was literally swamped with rg girls in house tees, and theres only 1 event a year that happens: SPORTS DAY. ran into my sister, even after she didnt pick up 3 of my phone calls (either toa payoh hub is just that small, or we have sister fate lol) and then after that into mr lim! which was a nice surprise. he is not as fat as i rmb (im not sure if mr lim reads this anymore, but mr lim! YOU ARE NOT AS FAT AS I SAW YOU AT OPEN HOUSE!)
after i ran a few errands and finished my visit to adventist i rushed back to beauty world for my other errand and then facial! finally lol. my beautician nearly died when she saw me. and almost begged me to bring a bottle of mineral water to malacca to wash my face.
so im quite happy now cos i feel so accomplished! but i still have like 5 bio topics to clean off, so here i go!

edit: Come Home by OneRepublic is up! i like onerepublic a lot, but ive only noticed today how AWESOME they are. like srsly, their music rocks. this song reminds me a bit of World by Five for Fighting, which is equally good (and has a very cool symbolic mv) but yes, i heard this whilst sleeping in the library and my sleepmuddled brain was so stunned by how nice it was i had to wake up and play it again (Y)
edit2: i realise the vid is not available on youtube anymore ): try veoh!
a blogpost!
now that hasnt happened in a while. properly at least. xD
today was gp! twas... better than ct1s, but we all know gp and its unpredictability. ah wells who cares? its over and i can focus on my other subjects!
soon.

waturf?
i am outraged. you know why i got 730 for writing? you know why?
BECAUSE I GOT 8 FOR ESSAY. which i was originally quite happy with. until i found out. I HAD ONLY 1 BLOODY QUESTION WRONG.
the sats are unfair. the sats are bloody unfair.
all the best for people taking in june. trust me, dont take it lightly.

gorgeous, aint it (:
watched pleasantville last night till late, although i really was supposed to be asleep with the pounding headache and sorethroat, but... its pleasantville!
probably one of the best and most memorable movies ive ever watched. i remember distinctly watching it twice - the first time i was completely freaked out by the idea that david and jennifer went into the tv and couldnt come back, the second time, the captivating storytelling and moving images totally won me over.
its a really old movie, so it brings back lots of memories haha. i looked it up imdb and it was made in 1998! thats how old it is! i think when i watched it we were still using those giant discs!
but yes, its really as good as i remembered it. the whole black and white atmosphere just adds romance to the entire set. a classic if anything. go watch it! i believe warnertv channel's still replaying it.

Sara Bareilles is a genius!
pwetty rite :D
and i also have an awesome vase. courtesy of rgsquash08!
GOOD JOB MYSELF. I LOVE YOU! I WILL REWARD YOU WITH SLEEP!
sorry for the absence! i will surprise myself by acknowledging that this week might be one of the busiest in my entire jc life so far. (and go on to admit that yes. if i think 4 days is an absence then im an avid blogger indeed)
was going to post up pictures of my beautiful flowers in my beautiful vase but my sis brought my pro camera out on some fieldtrip and i dont want to find my noob one so that can wait. they're so pretty they deserve a nice photo!
thank you yus, ram and joho! and shiyin, who wanted to give me a flower and forgot, but i was totally touched you even thought i deserved one ^^
almost everyone ive met so far have asked me "how was your drama last night?" and i honestly dont really know how to answer it. i mean. my role isnt something that even deserves applause, so i cant judge if my drama has been good by how well-received it was. (although yes, the rest of the show was very good!) and i mean, when you have 3 lines, how bad can it get?
so i can only say. i did what was expected of me.
thus ends the 2 years in chinese drama. i think i should say that it was an interesting experience? my perceptions of it has changed, yet remained the same. i maintain that the people in it are very very nice, and if i had tried to be more active perhaps we would have been better friends. im not going to complain about the opportunities either- i dont think i could have handled anything more even if i was capable of it, considering my busy interact life and all. perhaps, i got what i put in, and im satisfied with that. perhaps my greatest take away is the chance to work with all these people, some of whom are really talented and passionate about what they do, and my only regret is being more active in getting to know them.
wed was also last interact gm, which i missed, but interact reflections post will be in another when i have more energy. i need to sleep, but oh Good Lord i have so much work to do. -dilemma-

i think im pretty good at judging my physical condition!
(ok fine. so the swollen lymph node was a clue. but still!)
woke up this morning with a sore throat and a blocked nose. meh. im surprised i lasted this long without falling sick, but im also kinda worried cos i think im not sick enough for this whole thing to be done and over with by today so i may need to take tmr off too which i dont wanna?
but aiyah, im in a better mood at least (Y) sometimes you need to get out of school for a while, just to give yourself some yourself time to make sure youre all in one piece. and thus! NICE SONG.

1. am pissed off. and tired. and about to be sick.
2. since this point is about needing peoples help i shall sound a bit more sincere. hello! if you have any of the following clothing items please let me know! i need them for drama and ill rather not spend my money buying xD
a. Black overalls with straps/ Black overall straps
b. Black flat hat
thank you so so much ((:
3. i need things to.. i have no idea. something needs to happen, or something needs to stop happening. this staticity thing is driving me insane.
4. i just opened my hotmail inbox and i have 2 emails about people trying to pull me and other people to watch their annual performances. im pretty sure next week there'll be 0 people watching me. not that theres much to watch anws.
edit: 5. do you have any idea how helpless you feel, when the whole world thinks youre going to be ok and youre fighting back tears just to prove them right?

its been a while since ive written a "dictates my day" post, so... why not? (:
today i woke up at 7.25am and i took the bus to school. the bus driver was really slow! ): but still i got there nice and early. then we washed cars for many many hours. i like washing cars :D it is very fun plus its exercise plus there is money involved! the hp peeps were there to so there was Perfect Competition, but in the end we reached my target so im really happy :D
im really looking forward to the IU trip! its even got its own countdown timer on my iGoogle page. there are 30 days left! it shall be my first overseas service trip, and im getting to know the people better and they all seem super nice so i am glad :D
after the car wash we went for lunch at S11. mrs ng told us the other day that S11=$ so that is a very cool :D
then i took the mrt back! i was supposed to take with lincoln but he got on the previous mrt and i didnt cos i was slow ): but i met claire on the train i took so that was nice! but when we got to marymount station it was raining really heavily so i had to run in the rain and i got all wet and stinky ): (and then rohan decided to introduce me to his mom. i must have looked very scary )): ) but after that i met up with my mom so that was ok.
my mom says ptm was ok so im happy (: i hope the teachers were being honest in their appraisal of me because its quite encouraging (:
then i came home and had dinner and watched greek. i like greek! i think its a very nice show :D i hope my uni life would be that exciting too haha!
ok this post makes me sound 12. so i shall end it now. (Y)

im a new fan of BBC entertainment. (which i never actually knew i had)
the weakest link, for one, is a great stimulating show that is (double thumbs up now!) hosted by the wonderfully humorous host and nicely timed at dinnertime. and its so fast. plus, British accent anyone?
i may continue to explore some of their other shows when i get to the weekend.

this is my 100th post and IT BE OVER.
now i can finally remove The Official SAT Question of the Day from my Favourites Tab and reset my countdown clock on iGoogle to.... A Levels (D: )
but wtv, i hope i do better this time round! seems like tons of people did it at St Francis this time, a big difference from the last time i was there when it was almost empty o.o
ytd was a great day, despite the antsy 5 hour sit-down. Chicago was good, although comparing it to the movie i do believe it could have been better, but that didnt stop the songs from sticking in my head. plus, there were hot male dancers! and good company minus one (): )
and then i got whisked off into an evening of good food and wine and movie ^^
on another note, its may and this is my 100th post, so i guess im not as prolific a blogger as i think i am. but im pretty happy, its been a good year so far and despite the heavy workload im feeling more stable and loved then ever. (Y) the only thing that drives me nuts it the knowledge that we'll all be separating really really soon, which forces me to live on teeterhooks every day, clinging onto each moment to try to burn those memories into my head.
but. you can choose to mourn, or you can choose to celebrate! so i choose to celebrate each an every second i get to spend with all my beloved friends (: love you guys muchily ((:
