eeeeks. promos are coming! i guess it hit all of us pretty hard today after getting back progress reports and stuff. sighs. according to dr chan, less than 25 academic school days to september hols, and considering i'm missing 2 weeks, that's only 15 academic school days left. i think i should start panicking :)
*
oh a much much lighter note, bio selection test can be easily summarised! disastrous! brought back days of being in rg science team, where we'll just walk into the various jc quizzes (usually it's me and val and sunny) and bring a coin in and start tossing :) was too lazy to get out my coin today, and besides there were 4 choices, so how to toss right? that relegated me to closing my eyes and waving my pencil around and landing it on the paper, choosing the answer that my pencil was pointing to. serious. well, for questions that i was totally clueless about anyway. which made up a HUGE majority of the questions *grinses* ah well..i guess there goes bio olympiads huh :)
*
anyways...we bought a cake for kai today! and celebrated right in the canteen with everyone around us staring at all 11 of us behaving weirdly, what with all the cream-smearing-on-face activities going around *beam* i love you, 412 :) oh and jen's bday celebration the other day was fantastic as well...fantastic service (best ever yet, considering how i still remember how LIPS cafe had this steel wool from a sponge thingee in their pasta), and very nice staff :) food was great, price ok (since when did this particular group of us enjoy affordable food right...but nevermind :) value for money) totally enjoyed myself, and got to see jen, ad and cris too! sighs. seems like yesterday we were all mugging together during recess in our beautiful blue classroom, and going down for recess together to buy food up to class to steal a few bites, as well as eat openly during social studies class *grin* sighs. did i mention that i love you 412? *grinses*
*
lessons in 3L are getting more and more hilarous day by day. maybe it's just the effect of over-stress us, or perhaps it's just us :) tendencies to burst out in laughter almost every lesson...erm and not to mention certain lectures too *laugh* fun, supremely fun *grinses* rj's getting more and more interesting day by day indeed...wouldn't enjoy myself as much if not for this entertaining class :) of course, it's different from 412 in that there is non-existent gossip, but who says we have to survive on gossip and gossip alone? there're so many more things to do and talk about, like jerold's suaning of girls and our dis-affinity with 3D trigo (hrmph...i'll get trigo one day i swear), yihan's and shane's interjections during chinese (and gp, and chemistry, and....*grinses*), julie's and caroline's never-failing, always present "mo qi" with mr lee :)

i can't get it out of my head.
flipped through the rgs yearbook, saw her photo, and the whole thing just struck me all over again. it's just too tragic, i don't even know what to say. each time i think about how perhaps if she just talked to someone, perhaps if a friend had made a call at that very crucial moment, perhaps if a family member had chanced upon her in time, perhaps then, all these wouldn't have happened. but perhaps will never happen here. and each time i think about the irreversibility of death, about how she will be forever gone, about how no one will ever see her in school again, i feel this ache in my heart that won't disappear. i can't imagine how people who knew her are feeling now. i pray that they will get through this ordeal with god's help, and i pray that everyone will recover from this painful incident, those close to her, and those who have just been affected some way or another by this.
perhaps.

just like that.
surreal.
sadness tinged with so many questions.
school was just terrible today. lousy atmosphere...couldn't concentrate on any lesson at all. bio pract...just sat there and stoned. sat at the canteen during break just silently thinking. realised that a lot of people i knew were affected, felt really bad. went into maths tutorial with tutorial undone...just stared at mrs lim working out the solutions..didn't understand a single thing she said. chinese was horrible too..when they started talking about it, couldn't help but start crying :( physics..what can i say. finished the experiment as fast as i could, and was the first one to leave the lab..went to the library to just get away from it all, but he whole library had this eerie silence that was unnerving, i left after a while. not that it really helped actually, since the whole school had the same quiet eerie feeling to it. sighs. felt marginally better after stepping out of school, though disbelief's still there.
i really can't believe this could happen.

心真是一团乱. 有时候, 什么都非常清楚, 其他时候又有些模糊. 我难过的是...也不知道. 真应忘了你. 但就没办法这么做. 你对我的笑容, 能让我忘了想忘掉你的一切, 你的笑声天天都给我带来幸福和快乐, 你所说的一切我都深深的记住, 仿佛是实在无法忘记. 一天又一天地看着你, 陪着你, 心就是另一天地更被动, 脑里却越来越糊涂.

argh!!! i don't believe this...after hoping that i'll get an invitation to speech day, and getting it at long last, i won't be able to go for it cos of the france trip! i can't believe everything seems to fall on 23th august this year (cai and me's birthdays..) sigh. going back would have been such a great birthday present...cos every year, when u sit there waiting for cca awards, or just being a passive audience, then seeing the J1s go back and collect their awards...was just so inspiring to me...always hoped one day that would happen to me too. of all the days to have speech day! argh! urgh! sigh! nah not really complaining i guess..just that *hai* it would be great if i could make it for both france and rgs speech day, but i guess this is the best-est example of "you can't have your cake and eat it." =[
inter-school aquathlon competition on august 16. eeeeeeks. 800m swim and 5km run at Sentosa. I can't believe hon persuaded me into it. got to start training now if i want to survive the whole race. but yaaay. fun :)

pw is evil. pw is evil. pw is evil.
let's prove that by mathematical induction!
Let Pn be the statement.
Pn = pw is evil.
Let n=1.
Then P1 = pw is evil. (since there is no x value..erm actually i'm getting mixed up already..sheesh)
Assume Pk is true for some values of x.
Then,
Pk = pw is evil. (since there are no x values to sub k into)
Pk+1 = pw is evil + (k+1)th term = pw is evil. (since there are no k values)
Pk is true implies Pk+1 is true.
Therefore by mathematical induction, Pn is true for all real values of x.
gosh. life would be almost perfect if not for this thing above. sigh.
oh dear. i had something to say, and i forgot in the span of proving the actually-quite-obvious statement. erm...ah well. glad that val revived her blog, and it's super nice. sighs. wish i had one like that, simply so pretty :) haven't gone out for ages, haven't wanted to go out for ages actually. urgh.

am in a state in between wooziness and soberness. too much wine consumed during my neighbour's surprise birthday party at the bowling alley. me thinks i've bowled enough today to last me for another year of non-activity in bowling..i can feel my fingers cramping up again as i type this. was consistent today though, in my play. consistently lousy, that is :)
rehearsal at esplanade tomorrow, then rush back to school hopefully for chem and maths tutorial, then rush to 3rd lang centre, then rush back to school for chorale practice until 10 (!!)...somewhere along the way, homework got lost in the midst of all that. whoops? :)

yay changed the url to http://altruisticgifts.blogspot.com
though i can still see posts on the old url. weird.
anyway...i can't believe how lucky i am! out of so many project work groups in RJ, my group was "fortunate" enough to be randomly selected for external validation! whee..how exciting. this just means more late nights in a bid to rush out materials for a substantial file to be handed up in 4 days. highlight of my life indeed...though i don't know where i'm going to find the time to do up the contents page, and the materials, and the summarising of materials, especially with chorale going on almost every day until 10/11pm now...argh quite screwed i am, come to think of it.
sighs. common test results are taken ages to come back to me...what's the point of knowing the mcq without the other papers? oh then again, the marks in the rest of the papers are so low, i guess the mcq mark is a rough estimate of the total already *grinses*

今天真像一个不知所措的小孩, 心里想的只是你, 想见的人只是你, 想听的声音只是你一个. 虽然心知你不在, 但还是忍不住而情不自禁地在人群中找索你. 虽然看不到你, 但所做的一切都让我想起你的一举一动, 你的每一句话, 你的一切, 仿佛你就在我身边一样. 虽然如此, 但心里还是空空的, 很不自在. 没有你会这么样, 我终于了解了, 但我宁愿没有这种难受的经验. 真希望日子会过得快一点, 真希望你回到我身边, 真希望恢复有你的快乐日子.

yay school's starting for real tomorrow. finally we're going to learn new stuff, even if it's reaction kinetics (sigh). Hopefully my note-taking skills haven't deproved, and i can persevere with neatness for at least the next 2 weeks.

i can't wait for 21st august to come...finally received a mail from the french person in charge telling me to go for a briefing on the france trip, and suddenly, everything seems so real and that this is really happening. before that, france trip wasn't exactly there yet, but now everything's falling into place, with forms to be filled out, and air tickets to be reserved and so many things to pack and plan for. getting all excited about it all over again :)

不想和你说再见
i feel kind of lost. saying goodbye to you was hard, and the minutes and seconds just ticked away too fast as i waited and waited for the inevitable. it's on occasions like this that we realise how time really is relative. how an hour of waiting just passes too quickly, but how the separation is too slow and long and unbearable.

erm haha. i did say a few hours ago that physics couldn't possibly be worse than chem right? well. i guess i'll have to eat my words this time. died a slow death in the exam room today. each time i turned the page for the next question, it was just another stab in the heart. sheesh. urgh. sighs. oh yes, and i was "isolated" from my class (sat at the back) during the exam today cos my temperature was erm, 37.6. *laughs*

common tests
a waste of time and paper i declare. handing up almost completely blank sheets of papers...what's the point? as cai very aptly put it *grin*, i "might have gotten more marks if i hadn't written anything. at least, the person marking wouldn't have to suffer through my scribblings". absolutely right. maths was ok, chinese was reasonably hard but we couldn't have studied for that anyway, chem was a horror. sat there for 2 hours staring at some of the questions in disbelief while everything i had learnt just chose that inopportune moment to fly out of my head. oh and if that wasn't enough, those that i did know how to do, i chose that moment to be careless too. hmm.
physics is in 3 hours, and it might be the best paper of the three, seeing how nothing can go below chem in terms of screwy paper. *grin* so that's a comforting thought at least.
sighs. this sort of reminds me of Os actually. although the stress isn't there (like what am i doing posting now rite?? =]), the last minute preparations, last minute crammings are somewhat the same. though it seems strange that less than half a year ago, i was actually worried about O-level papers which have since gone down ten^infinity notches in my opinion in terms of difficulty of paper, now that i have fantastic RJ chem papers right on top of the scale! *grinses*

我的世界 变得奇妙更难以言喻
还以为 是从天而降的梦境
直到确定 手的温度来自你心里
这一刻 我终于勇敢说爱你
一开始 我只顾着看你
装做不经意 心却飘过去
还窃喜 你 没发现我 躲在角落
忙着快乐 忙着感动
从彼此陌生到熟 会是我们从没想过
真爱 到现在 不敢期待
要证明自己 曾被你想起 Really？
我胡思乱想就从今天起 I wish
像一个陷阱 却从未犹豫 相信
你真的愿意 就请给我惊喜
关于爱情 过去没有异想的结局
那天起 却颠覆了自己逻辑
我的怀疑 所有答案因你而明白
转啊转 就真的遇见 Mr.right
我的世界 变得奇妙更难以言喻
还以为 是从天而降的梦境
直到确定 手的温度来自你心里
这一刻 也终于勇敢说爱你
