(:/ it seems mildly weird to have posts reflecting the two ends of the spectrum of life right next to each other; granted, perhaps not exactly directly reflecting them, but still!)

i just gulped down a bowl of soup - my favourite kind of soup! - which would have been absolutely good, other than the fact that it was cold, and ice-cold at that. (behold, the miraculous powers of air-conditioners!) D: i think this is what you get when you procrastinate (!!) over dinner, oops. :/

anyway, i = fifteen tomorrow! feels very significant somehow; i don't know, but by some weird logic i have come to regard fifteen as more, momentous than sixteen. Oo as in, 16's the age for a lot of stuff, but i've always thought fifteen as more important. rather weird, really, hurhur. (:

all the same, went down to make my i/c today, & in that instant something felt different - like, i've grown up and all? perhaps it has got something to do with the fact that now you're carrying an ic and stuff - the notion is just so grown-up-ish and all. ohwell, with great uh, power comes great responsibility (joyce, if you are reading this, be glad that you have been quoted! even though we all know you took this from somewhere else -.-), so i'll need to be more mature in the way i think, act and communicate, and also start to truly learn how to stand firmly with my own two feet and not wobble around too much like uh, jelly, or something. (oh but the lady keying in my chinese name almost changed it to 家敏. D: okay as in, to a certain extent i appreciate the effort to simplify my name into something more pronounceable, but really, no thanks. :/ as in, i like my name!)

hmm i thought the year over when 2007 ended, but throughout today it felt as if only tomorrow truly heralds the beginning of something new, of times that would be of a different nature when compared to those of twelve, thirteen or fourteen. suddenly i'm feeling a bit nostalgic, mellow and all; haha if i had to answer mrsleslie's question of 'when did you figure that you were growing up?' (something along those lines anyway, my memory has never really been spectacular for a start), i guess it just truly, hit me today. perhaps not my first realization, but it feels like something of distinct importance, i guess.

!! ooh i have bubble wrap to play with! :D (okay haha as you can tell, there are still times when i lapse into crazy/random childishness. i insist that is nevertheless valid/appropriate okay!)

hmm okay on to matters of a weightier nature - i mean, what with all the pressure they've been exerting on us, please kindly refrain from cringing at the pun - i guess i'm really, beyond thankful for myas and what-not. considering how some of my revision wasn't exactly nicely planned out and that i kinda lost steam and discipline towards the end, i'm truly glad that it all turned out alright. :D (yes, tiff, many things to thankful for!) i'm not really sure if i should go into detailed analyses...? ah but well, briefly perhaps - not full length ones like last year, at any rate. read at your own expense, by the way, i'm going to be rather rambly and disjointed and boring. english was :/, except summary, which was really quite a pleasant surprise, considering how i was totally freaking out when i began with a summary of 130 words. and to put that into context, i'm your typical ramble-like-nobody's-business-and-exceed-word-limit-most-brilliantly kind of summarizer, so suffice to say that i was suitably unnerved by my lack of words. Oo i wish i did better for my term1 grammar test though; now my english mark is hanging rather precariously, yuck. ): chinese = grrrrr at awful cuobiezis! like argh, i got marks deducted for the same word which i wrote wrongly twice, once in the summary and once in the compre! plus most of the words could be found in the passage. :/ okay, my own fault, i guess - so therefore, i need to extend my mantra of 'be careful, don't be careless' to encapsulate both math and uh, chinese. (kidding about the mantra though - main idea stays, but not the cheesy expression, ouch.) my dad sorta predicted that my math wouldn't be fantabulous after he heard my recount as to what happened, and admittedly, i guess i didn't have enough practice for math, so yeah. & well, i sorta slacked off towards the end, a big no-no, so will have to take note about that next time! sciences was, quite alright - physics / chem were rather good for a start, i shall (be ego and) concede that. (: bio was less euphoria-inducing, but well, i've met my target for the sciences, so yup. :D didn't like my context questions for lit; poetry on the other hand was definitely amazing, considering how i didn't have enough time to write down all my points and stuff. but it was a tremendously good poem - haven't been engaged so deeply with an exam poem for eons, no i mean uh, for the three years i've been taking lit hahaha. :D for ss i came out worrying over whether i'd addressed the issue properly, so like i said last year about my eyas, i'm truly quite thankful that i got a teacher who understood more or less the point i was trying to bring across, so yay. (: i need to work on writing more inspired essays though; my essays sound so rigid next to stacey's! :/ but yes indeed, as everyone tells everyone else, there's still that huge 60% left for us to conquer and bring down, so mhmm onward we go. (:

wales/ireland - we're going to visit a writers' museum, trinity college and the ireland natural history museum! :D on a less pertinent note, i'll be rooming with charmie charmie charmie (nyak, the soon-to-be-birthday-girl can and shall exercise her pre-birthday liberties, hurhur) and pristine, and while some people are telling jane to look forward to sleepless nights there, i think i'll need to be mentally prepared for occurrences like that as well. oO i'm starting to get excited about the trip though, yay! (:

more random things: yesterday during rs which we conveniently took as a free block, we started telling each other random, awfully lame, laugh-your-diaphragm-out jokes, including a whole barrage of those (rather stereotypical but nevertheless side-splittingly funny) blonde jokes. xD yay it was good to laugh with y'all, weiqing megan jiaxuan shzehui charmaine! :D choir yesterday was really good too! missed singing during the whole of myas, and as much as our repertoire is going into more complicated / atonal / dissonant grounds, i think it's just as awesome as ever! hotarukoi is good, and i love the piano part for gloria! (save the many problems it gives me.) rather irritating that i'll have to miss 2 weeks of intensive choir prac though, sigh. :/ and today during freeblock was throwing comments to yinleng about the icyl pullover - i like the lime green hahaha. (: oh, and i like the revamped rgs + raffles programme websites; they look so much better, really. :D

alright now, before i turn fifteen, maybe it would do good to finish up all the expo notes and stuff. and aiyeeeee, i have stacks of notes (close to 200 pages thick! D:) on astro / physics to read. ohwell, shall tackle that now. :D

ohyes, special mention to jiaxuan for the awesomely funky & nicely-decorated orange + purple socks! hahaha i'll wear them to wales - and okay i'll take pictures, heehee. (: yay now i have socks in my favourite colours, and on the day(s) when i decide to be wacky i shall wear non-matching socks, one of each pair! thanks a million for the letter too - i'm sure hillary's more than glad to be pk's good friend, and yeah, am honoured to be alex's godma, hahahaha. (: (in case you were wondering who pk / alex are, go look around jiaxuan's bloggie.) but above all, much love for being the amazing friend you are! ♥ and also, thank you 314 for the birthday song - though next time (if there will be one?) i suggest you guys don't sing it while i'm eating. attempts to choke me on my noodles are not exactly welcome, thanks. Oo but of course, no complaints, you guys are fantabulous and entirely loveable, yay. :D of course, charmaine too for your note! (: but honestly, don't turn up with an entire cheesecake tomorrow, really. i will be petrified. D: honestly, you've been such a nice friend (excuse me for the vagueness in langauge use) that i can't ask for more, so yay (:

and to those who forgot about my birthday / have yet to wish me happy birthday, you have until tomorrow - otherwise all of you are evil twits. :E

...just kidding, of course. (: i get my cheescake + coffee fix tomorrow though, hurrah! :D

or zongmin, in english, chinese or - okay, not really otherwise.

lives, writes, sings, plays the piano, and attempts to sound intellectual at times (conclusion: fails rather miserably).

loves music (almost strictly classical, hurhur & inclusive of faziolis!), literature (& also the sciences - no they are not in conflict), making hopelessly lame puns, laughter, white/milk chocolate, cheesecake, the world & the people in it. list not exhaustive, by the way.

wants the world to be filled with peace, joy and love, and also wants (perhaps a little more selfishly) to be happy, plus lead a life of purpose. that would be more than enough. (:

oh, and she likes embarking on her own 'free hugs!' campaigns after exams and the like; not really sure why. D: (at any rate, you can tell that she's random enough.)

very plain, she knows; but this is probably herself in its entirety - nothing more than a compilation of perhaps-boring-to-you little things (and the occasional Important Event), but also nothing less than all the brilliant memories which constitutes her life, and perhaps yours.

also interpreted as an inability to express with other things but words (nothing more, nothing less!), although even words sometimes won't do enough. but she does like orange.

v2.0 (230208): maybe solid grey isn't that fantastic after all. but wordy is good, all the same. she's weird, she knows.

ver. i-pretend-that-it-is-3.0-when-i-know-it-is-not (070608): i am boring, take that. (:

v4.0 (200908): got bored, so cut down on the quasi-fanciful stuff even more. perfectly plain now, though somehow the background still doesn't work on safari / google chrome. ):
