"It was like a dog meowing." - Simon Cowell

Charlene could be right. Boys before puberty have voices far more angelic than any girl, hence they should be castrated to retain their vocal chords.

Hello frog.

By golly, (some) frogs are unexpectedly adorable!

I wouldn't mind them if they're like this either.
Frog's legs taste like a more tender version of chicken. Delish.

"So why you ask me come out all the way here if we're going to do at my house anyway?"
"To discuss the venue. Hee hee."
"..."

Right, Charlene. You made me change my clothes, walk under the blazing afternoon sun for a blazing 10 minutes, just to tell me the best place to do the project is at my house. Brilliant! Marvellous! Ingenious!

Although I haven't done Flag Day myself yet, I have got to opine frankly, that I reckon it's a terrific farce. You literally beg some people to donate to some goddamned association who replies on some forced volunteerism scheme to get some students (who actually don't give a shit) out there to hold cans asking some strangers for some money.

If you request donations from others, then you should be prepared to donate yourself. Likewise, if you are not one to be enthusiastic about dropping coins into those tin cans, then you shouldn't expect others to be, either. The thing is, I happen to belong to the latter group.

I remember thinking a lot, when I see students with those tin cans asking around for donations, that I would never, like these poor chaps, volunteer willingly to do the same. Well, shit happens, and it seems that Flag Day is a compulsory CIP activity for Secondary Four students in my school.

Thus, I have been abominably condemned to carry out execrable, humiliating activities of plebeian caliber.

It's understandable that few will share the same sentiments as me, and instead shall commit themselves with keen, bubbling avidity, reveling in sheer self-satisfaction with the belief that they are so assiduously assisting the less fortunate. However, that is your business, not mine, and vice versa, so allow ourselves to keep it that way.

I have been sleeping at 1.30am and waking up 6 hours later at 7.30pm. Of course I'd like to rest more and wake up at 12 noon instead, but don't tell me to go to bed earlier. That approximately has the same effectiveness as telling the teacher to start the Physics lessons later.

Lest we burn.

Hello everyone I have nothing better to say for now other than I'm melting from the blithering heat of Singapore even though it's twenty minutes past ten at night. Please, would Mother Nature be so kind as to bring back the cardinal breezes and rains so that lower temperatures will ensue?

The dazzling supper life.

For dinner, I had a plate of chicken chop with baked beans, coleslaw and fries, along with a cup of soya bean. Then afterwards I had 1 Kinder Egg, 2 packets of Pocky, 2 packets of Yanyan and Coke for supper.

Kinder Egg. It was my first time trying this. Very nice.

Not my first time, but still very nice.

Quite nice, but Pocky's better.
We aver that those are not the wisest choices for optimal health, but our taste buds tell us to doff off all logic.

p/s I finally got my father to install the actual computer which conked out some time ago and so I am finally able to use MSN again after 4 months. Hallelujah.

Non compos mentis.

The other day, I was on the bus and this bloody uncle with a shiny baldy head coughed right onto the dorsum of my hand, which I then immediately withdrew from the seat handle in front of him.

I was quite sure he had lost a few nuts in his head, when he returned my stare with a disgusting toothy grin. What the?! YOU DON'T COUGH ONTO SOMEONE AND THEN SMILE AND THEM WHEN THERE'S A H1N1 VIRUS SPREADING AROUND YOU SICK OLD LOONY!

It's not only the elderly who are non compos mentis. There was an irascible woman at the cafe who really pissed me off that day a couple of weeks ago because she blatantly decreased the portion size of the spaghetti I ordered to spite me just because she's ruddy deaf. I asked for a Coke Zero but she gave me the normal coke and I said er I asked for a coke zero, to which she replied petulantly, "I thought you said coke".

Of course I had to say 'coke'. What did you expect? Was I supposed to have said, "Hi I'd like a Zero please", or "Hi I'd like zero Coke".

Right, okay. So you've got issues. Why should I ever take responsibility for your own shortcomings? It's utterly ridiculous. Who the hell are you to me? I don't know you. And I know you know that I don't know you.

Frivolity works in mysterious ways.

June's second week.

I cannot believe I completely and utterly forgot to make a birthday wish on my birthday. There wasn't any cake, which I don't quite mind, by the way, but god damn it I forgot to wish for the number of As I want for my 'O' levels and my eternal happiness and prosperity and the rest of it god damn it!

As for my holiday resolutions, I resolve not to go out to often, and complete all of my holiday assignments by the third week (har har). I shall also resolve to blog at least once every other day so as to prevent my command of English from plummeting down to deplorability. I shall try.

I don't think I like Orchard road very much. It's pretty far from where I live and I hate crowds. Allow me to repeat myself, I hate crowds. Do you not detest it when people flock together and block every single damn path of yours in sight? Do you not wish to decimate those impertinent herbivores in front of you? Do you not think, how dare they, how dare they impudently breathe the same air and tread the same land as you?

I'm just japing. Half so, I'm serious about not enjoying crowds at all.

Anyhow, back to why Orchard road isn't all that great. There are too little trees, the ERP rates are too high, too much sun, things are too expensive, the food there is too expensive, the ice cream there is nice but too expensive, the bubble tea there is the worst and too expensive, it's hard to find a free seat, and there is seriously too many people. Hence, I only go there on average once a year only because of Irene.

Jeslyn's barbecue on Sunday was rather agreeable, the food delectable. It was nice talking to ex-classmates about weird people and their oddities. Honestly, some of them are genuinely spastic.

The Incentive trip to Sentosa on Monday was quite alright save for the scorching heat and the budget meal. Due to the eternally inadequate budget courtesy of the penny-pinching principal, we only had one meal for the 10-hour trip which originally was to be in a restaurant but ended up as a Subway Oven-roasted Chicken Breast $5.90 Value Meal. Not that I have any violent protests against it, since Subway is one of my favourite fast-food restuarants. Mcdonalds can go to blazes.

Fort Siloso was uninteresting and left us under the mercy of the sun, Images of Singapore was awesome because it was air conditioned throughout the gallery, the Sky Tower was a total bore, the Luge was fun but too short, I had to hold up a slipper which my friend dropped early on all the time I was on the Skyride, the plot for Songs of the Sea was rather lame but I liked the lasers and fireballs.

Vanessa's barbecue was on Tuesday. The satay and seafood needed a lot of time to cook so thank god for potato chips and mars bars. The water bombs were scary. Some didn't care that they were in normal clothing and jumped into the pool and swam in it, much to the exasperation of the security guards.

On Wednesday there was a Social Studies class but I didn't go. I did for the Thursday Social Studies/Geography class, though. For lunch I had my first meal at BBQ Chicken. The food was very gratifying but the waiting time lamentable. Nevertheless, it's a place I'll revisit.

Thus ends abruptly my recount for the previous days. Hurray, it's the longest post I've had for a long time. Hallelujah!

Orchard bubble tea = fail.

Never, ever buy bubble tea from Sweettalk at Orchard. It's atrocious. You might as well be drinking tap water from the kitchen sink. The Chocolate Milk Tea was horrible. It was a cross between cat shit and bitter gourd. Or something along those lines.

Anyway, my point was that it was really diluted and very oddly, had brown bits in it that tasted bitter. The drink is a total failure. I'll never patronise any bubble tea shop in Orchard ever again, I promise. You shouldn't either.

It completely and utterly slipped my mind, I having to write the question numbers for my 'O' Level Chinese Paper 1, that is. Considering how it is a major national examination, that is most unsettling. It might have been for the greater good that they used English along with Chinese as a medium of instruction for the front page. It perturbs me so, that I, along with several others, might well be penalised heavily for this damning lapse of memory. We, the forsaken ones, are told that we may only pray or hope, but such ineffectual acts I blatantly refuse to rely solely upon.

Thank you Gina and Jingjing for the birthday presents, they were perfectly delightful and your kind efforts shall be appreciated tremendously for ever. The very best of luck for your Biology SPA!
