Obscurity. It's there, I can feel it in my bones. But somehow, that thing just never surfaces. Much as I would like it to come out, it doesn't want to. Or maybe it's just shy...

Greenlink and the duties involved are killing me. Proposals, Green Audit, then reached home at 10pm just now from GVN office... Blooiee sooner or later I'll just crumble like a cookie. But heck at least this weekend I'll be overseas so I'll just take it as a form of relaxation.

I'm seriously lagging behind in my tutorials. I keep reminding myself to do my tutorial assignments, but somehow the incentive is just not there. Carrots don't work. Neither do forced persuasion. PIBROCH. Was glancing at Ruth's notebook as she was flipping through it. The word that was most outstanding was PIBROCH. What a lamentation. At least I know I'm not alone... Hee...

Darlie toothpaste... They're probably the only toothpaste that doesn't test on animals.

And the last thing I need to know is that I'm so popular in a particular science class, such that everyone turns their head at the sight of "the Greenlink president"... And I'm supposed to feel honoured when people chase up to me aimlessly... Oh I feel like a celebrity... ^_^

Food wish list: GUMMY BEARS, steamed crabs, pancakes, JELL-O, chendol, TIRAMISU ICE CREAM, ice kachang, prata, YONG TAU FOO, the stuff that Chiew Yee always eat but refuses to give me, PORRIDGE, soya milk, BANANAS, Chewy... Oh gosh my stomach is insatiable...

Hmm... I've almost reached the end of another week... Got back all my Common Tests results. BOEE and a C5. Well, what can I say? Work harder for Promotional Exams?? Oh heck, there's just too many stuff to be done at the moment. But hey, look on the bright side: I've been saying "blooiee" so much, so it's only fair if I get BOEE... And remember what Ms Teo told us?? Her student slept through all his lectures and tutorials and in the end he got BED. So technically speaking if I eat a lot in college I'll get FOOD... Blee this is dumb...

I've decided to make pancakes for myself tomorrow. Was at Temasek Junior College yesterday for a "River of Dreams" talk about Australia's rivers, then after that I went to get the pancake shake and syrup... I got Green's Crêpe Shake and Green's Maple Flavoured Syrup... According to the recipe it didn't seem too difficult to make those pancakes, so yup, pancakes for my meals tomorrow...




Maple Syrup Crêpe
1. Preheat a 20cm frypan and grease well.
2. Shake Green's Crêpe Shake bottle to loosen dry mix.
3. Remove lid, do not discard.
4. Add 2 cups (500ml) water to bottle. Replace lid. Turn bottle upside down, tap lid sharply on bench to loosen mix. Shake well.
5. Pour batter into entire base of frypan (approx 1/4 cup of batter). Cook over a low to medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Add Green's Maple Flavoured Syrup for taste. Serve hot.

Fanny and Shang Lim went back to Hong Kong today. Yesh it was kinda nostalgic to think about this... Atiqah, Beetsma and me met up together to send them off at the airport at around 2pm... Took pictures, hugged/shaked hands, joking around, exchanged our addresses and emails etc... The routine stuff that you do when you're parting ways... Boy was I sad to see them leave. It was only one week with them, but somehow in that week it never occured to me to treasure our time together... I guess departure is the only time that you learn to hold true to the things that are dear in your hearts... Yesh Fanny, being her sweet self, gave all of us a card each, while I've never seen Shang Lim so serious at all for this whole week... But all things have to have a finality, and I suppose this is one of them. Hope you guys do well for your exams! Beets cried, while me and Atiqah were just sad that they're leaving, but somehow still happy for them. All of three of us seriously considered geting a air ticket to HK or to kidnap the two of them...

Hee hee, but oh well... I think I hate the airport. Everytime I go there it's to send people off. Can't someone I know arrive in Singapore for a change?? Oh I want cheese fries. IT'S VERY FATTENING. But heck, I need to gain weight anyway. Oh I'm thinking of making jelly for myself. Maybe I'll prepare it tomorrow, but I need the ingredients first. Oh I'm going to Bekok (Malaysia) from 29th to 31st July for Endau Rompin trip. Going there to help the orang asli kids in the forest, possibly with Shufen and Adrian and Jeff.

Blooiee... I think everytime I say "Oh" I'm being shuffle... Oh [shuffle] I got this from Sheng De's blog...

Your Birthdate: November 21

Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

I'VE REACHED THE END OF THE WEEK... Gosh I'm so glad that Friday finally arrived... This whole week I've been whining and complaining that "I want my Friday", cos my Fridays are my most slack days in school... Whee hee... Anyway, morning was Economics and Literature... Oh I found that I identified with Ted Hughes' poem Pibroch... It's such a lamentation and harbours such a bleak outlook that I think Hughes probably wrote this poem for me... Err okie maybe not...

PE was supposed to be frisbee, but because I failed my standing broad jump so I had to go for make-up PE training... It's highly dumb for me because of all the people there who failed their NAPFA, everybody was either 2.4km or pull-up, but I'm the only lost soul there who failed broad jump... Okay maybe the nearest is Kai Jie who failed his jump AND pull-up, but then again he's capable of clearing his jump it's just that he has a 50-50 chance of passing that station... Blooiee oh and the Hong Kong attachment students joined us for PE too! Oh I haven't explain yet! My school's got this group Hong Kong students who joined us for attachment, then this week there's two of them shadowing our class, yup and I'm the buddy for Shang Lim, then Beets got this girl called Fanny...

Yup, then it was Geography, and during break time Shang Lim gave me this handphone pouch that was in the shape of a cheong-sam, and we took pictures and talked a lot because they'll be going back to Hong Kong on Sunday... then I went to the Oasis to meet Hsiu Tzu and Jun Ying for a Greenlink mini-meeting, then went for Maths and I WAS FREE FROM ALL LESSONS!!

Went home, then I went to Junction 8 to get some stuff, then went for youth service with Cheryn and we played games for the night! Okay I was emcee for the pictionary/charades, kinda lame but still fun... Then my cell group decided not to have cell cos it was quite late already, so we just sat around bumming and listening to Andre and Rachel Kwan arguing... Hee I've never seen Rachel so crazy before... Then went home and here am I... BLOOIEE...

WHAT A DAY... I'm feeling so tired and crappy right now... So far this whole week I'm just dragging my toes around, trying to curl up anywhere and catch up on my lost sleep... Crap I'm surviving on 3 hours of sleep a day, and I want sleep desperately but I just COULDN'T... And I reached home at 11pm today (tonight)!! Yesh was at a meeting at the SEC office with Grant and Grace about green activities for the rest of this year... It turned out more to be a political discussion, but anyway, bottom line is I'M TIRED.

Oh yesh I'm quite happy with Geography... I got a decent grade B!! This despite 3 days of hard work... But dang, Rhoda beat me to being top in class... Bargh but I'm happy... At least being tired has its perks and peaks at the right moments of my life...

SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP...

GUMMY BEARS!! Oh my gosh they're so cute and cuddly and best of all they're available in neon colours which sort of filter the translucent bear when you hold it in light... AAHHH!! And you can just put the entire gummy bear into your mouth and keep chewing on them and you will never get tired of the taste even after you eat three million gummy bears!! WHEE!! Oh if you put them in water, they become very absorbent and swell till those bears look bloated! And I just love to bite their heads off and see those headless gummy bears... AAAHHHH!! I'M GOING TO BUY MYSELF LOADS OF GUMMY BEARS...

Oh crap I've been extremely busy this week... I'm supposed to be checking my email everyday for important documents, but I haven't got the time at all to go online... So now I've got 73 unchecked emails in Gmail and plenty more in Yahoo's (which I don't think I want to check), AND IT'S BARELY 4 DAYS ONLY!! Blee blooiee blee bloo... Oh well here's what else I've done (in point form) for this week:~

Greenlink meeting with Huiling and Junying
-Regarding administrative matters like CCA Best Practices and 2 years worth of Greenlink documents... Gosh that's two thick files worth of paper...

Mini-worship with Faith, Eleanor and Greg
-AWESOME... Played the guitar, never knew a simple song like Heart of Worship could make such an impact...

14 GP article reviews
-Ms Phua haven't ask for it yet (at this moment). Dang if I had known I might have dragged it a bit longer and gotten more sleep... It's going to be an additional 2 next week...

Project Work Oral Presentation Workshop
-The instructor was superb! All of us have to present a speech while they videotape us, and let's just say that I look really weird when doing a public speech... Are you sure that's me?? Oh I was camera-man

NJ Band Etude XXX
-Venue was Victoria Concert Hall... It was quite good, but not really exceptional... For me the best band concert is Catholic High Symphony Band!!

1st Greenlink EXCO meeting
-Hmm, settled most of the admin matters too, everyone turned up, new teacher in Greenlink (Ms Wong), everything was smooth and okay... Again I felt weird speaking so much... And from the looks of it they DO have high expectations for every Greenlink president...

Practical Criticism and Mathematics Common Tests
-Flunked them both. I got 21.5/50 for PC, and my maths was 43/100 which was a O7... I'm depressed...


Cheerios to me-self. I made it through another week.

Whee ha! I watched the Wimbledon 2005 men's final between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick last night. And it was superb! I meant the match... Somehow or rather I thought Samuel was the best tennis player I ever witnessed playing good tennis... Yesh yesh maybe I'm a bit too shallow, after all Sam is still only a JC-student playing for NJ's tennis team... And Federer is WORLD NO. 1 and Roddick was NO. 4 I think...

Roddick didn't stand a chance. Federer was obviously just too good, making Roddick run all over the court and smashing and squeezing out winners from tight spaces... OH GOSH IT WAS SUCH A CLASSY MATCH!!

OH OH OH and I think Roddick is good-looking!! VERY VERY!! And Federer's not too bad off either... I think he's got the flamboyant-n-hip look and looks sexy! Blee I'm going nuts... But the two of them are just sooo cute!! AAAHHHH!!





CUTE!! AAHHH!! SOO CUTE!!!! [No I'm not gay...]

I just discovered my crazy obsession with words ending with "-ee"!!! AAHHH!!! Words ending with "-ee" are just simply wonderful and brilliant and awesome!! OH MY OH MY OH MY !! You see, there's Hasee Bounce at Neopets and they're simply adorable! Go play their game and listen to their soundtrack!! I'm trying to upload their soundtrack, but couldn't cos it's a Macromedia Flash file... BARRGH, then I'm always laughing hee hee hee instead of the more conventional haha-s, because hee hee hee sounds so much better! And Peiying and her blee-s, crap I'm starting to catch it too!! OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR... Then I created a bloo which was supposed to be in counter-response to Peiying's blee, but along the way it slowly evolved into blooiee, which is so much more adorable-sounding!! I drank coffee this morning! And I like to say eeyer when there's something disgusting, and eew when someone is being disgusting (Yesh there is a difference)... Biru is a Tweety Bird! I just created a Kacheek! When I'm excited I go whee! And there's even the surname Luke/Mark Wee!! The world's just full of "-ee"... If I had my way my name will be Guan You-ee!!

Oh my gosh I totally forego my sleep in trying to study for Literature... Last night, or rather early morning, I stayed up till 4.30am? I was trying to find any King Lear study guides on the Lit notes websites, well wasn't too successful, then I tried looking for notes on Ted Hughes "larger-than-life" poems and bling! Loads of essays on loads of his poems... He's a nut, he really is. Nobody asked him to see things in such a weird view anyway, but it was kinda fun studying for Lit...

And the paper was not too bad! Okay it was bad in some ways, I crapped most of what Lear and Kent were supposed to be doing or what I think they're doing, then Hughes' Hawk Roosting was relatively okay and my Practical Criticism was a load of junk but I found out later that Ruth wrote most of the same "junk" as me, so I can't be too far off right??

Oh I went to Suntec with Siew Peng just now after Lit... Our project work group was supposed to be phone-interviewing the person at IDA, but somehow all we got was his answering machine... So me and Siew ended up going to Suntec because she had to meet her friend there, walked around hee-hee-ing around then I got home... Going out to eat butter crabs with Cheryn and Andre and Dora and Yan Peng and goodness know who else... BUTTER CRABS!! Doesn't that sound a bit like Ghost-Crabs?? BOO!

Oh, Neopets haiku of the day...
