thirteen reasons why

I went to the library yesterday and I borrowed THREE books.
By today, I had already finished 2 books. :D An accomplishment!!!!
Anyway, I MUST MUST MUST tell you about this book, "TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY".

"Clay Jenson doesn't want anything to do with the tapes Hannah Baker made. Hannah is dead. Her secrets should be buried with her. Then Hannah's voice tells Clay that his name is on his tapes -- and that he is, in some way, responsible for her death. All through the night, Clay keeps listening. He follows Hannah's recorded words throughout his small town... and what he discovers changes his life forever." (quoted from the cover of "Thirteen Reasons Why")
This is an extremely touching and fascinating story. The tapes and the people she mention are all so real, in some ways. The fact that you find some of them similar to you is eerie. The way Hannah says her feelings, like when she wants to die, is so truthful and heart rendering. I had some of the emotions mentioned in the book before, and I find it scary that she can actually say out exactly how I felt at that point of time. This book would teach you a true lesson about trying, giving up and lastly, hope. All the people who have heard these tapes are forced to reflect on what they have done and think about how did it affect Hannah. I strongly encourage everyone to read this, it is a book in a million.

chaos

Haha. It was before the exams during ACC lesson....
It was a prefectly NORMAL day until....
The three muskerteers made chaos.
Seriously, I think our class should stand for....
K-haos
Get it? Chaos got a pronounciation of K at the starting.
Haha.
The three guys started moving chairs and stacking them.
Krystal says, "They are concentrating on this more than their studies."
I laughed.
It was kinda true.
They were actually DISCUSSING which place to put the chair so it wont fall.
-.-
That was my expression.
But I could not help being amazed at the stack of chairs.
They look like abstract art.
Though they look nicer in real-life.
And poor Boning is being scolded indirectly for letting the boys play a fool.
He then sets off to control them.
Joelle comments, "老师的话深深的伤到了他的心。"
I laughed again.
Laughter is good.
Natural medicine.
It was fun. :D



~funny times

Mooncake

Hiie!!!!! Sorry for the lack of posts! It has been the exam period so I have no time....
Anyway, a belated HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL to everyone!!!!! :D :D :D
My bro was obviously basking in the holiday mood and wanted to go down to play. Haha. So, my mother, bro and I went down. I took some pics to put at the blog as well as for keepsake. :)

Anyway, my school had some activities as well. We celebrated Mooncake festival and it was damn fun!!! We were hesitating to wear our class tee though as u know what happened... But we wore it over the school uni so its like double layer with the collar showing. Quite nice. It makes up for the blank and plain front. :)

^This was before we brought it into the darkness...

^The flame inside...

^Amazing!!!! It is shining soooo brightly!!! :D

^Our lanterns!

^The moon is shining brightly... :)

~time passes and you do not notice

sick

I AM SICK!!!

Argh, down with flu and cough...
I feel suffocated.... Eh, sick?
Argh, I hate being sick.
Being sick is sick-ish.
It is an irritating feeling that keeps bugging me.
And I have to destroy trees too,
By using so many tissue papers.
Argh.
Thats the third time I said that.
Haiz.
I should go sleep now.

Hiie! I was waiting for bus 86 when I came up with some designs.
For.... Miss Singapore Universe's national dress. :D
Funny how inspirations come to you. :)
Anyway, there are descriptions underneath about what is it about. :)
Copyright, k??? ;D Thanks.

^ The orange fur thingy around the dress is based on the lion. :D This is more of a kind of like gentle look. :)

^ This is based on the Miss Vanda Joaqium. :D It is more of a kind of girl look. :D

^ This is based on the lion too. The orangey fur. :D This is more of a sexy and dangrous look. The slit at the side indicates the elegance and beauty of a lion :D

Yay!!! This is so cool!!!!!! :D

Night Safari

Yesterday, my family and I went to Night Safari. I had great fun!!!!! :D

First, we ate at "Ulu Ulu Restaurant". I saw the 'food court' there. And boy, look at the prices!!!! I think that they charge about 3 times as much! One cup of kopi is FOUR dollars!!!!!! Wah~~~~ Obviously I never buy -.- I went to eat buffet which I think is a much more better choice. :D Halfway while eating, some tribe men came in dancing and beating drums. They were like half naked. So quite scary... XP I was damn scared that they would ask me to go and dance. Haha.

Then, we went to watch "Creatures Of The Night" show. The show was damn funny and interesting. There is one cat which is called Snowy I think. It has black spots on its body. It was supposed to just like parade around and go back. But apparently, Snowy refuses to go back and found herself attracted to grass. The emcee joke, "Snowy, you are NOT vegetarian." and "Her five minutes of fame is over." Haha. Real funny. Then some otters are supposed to like demostrate about recycling. But one otter wanted to inspect the metal can and did not want to put it in the recycling bin. When the trainer push the can to put it in, the otter would whimper. So cute~!!! :D Haha!!!!

Then, we sat on the tram that took us to look at the animals. Afterwards, we walked the Leopard Trail and saw LOTS of nocturnal animals. I took some photos too!!!!! :D We went to look at the bats. They were quite scary. XD Then, we sat on the tram again. After which, we took a taxi back home. :) The trip to Night Safari was FUN!

Some photos:

^I think this is a raccoon or something....

^This is the flying squirrel which was kind enough to let us take a picture of it. :D

^The toilets I passed by while walking to the amphi-theatre. XD


^A porcupine. :D


^ A bat, but it is blurry.


^Some ox with really HUGE tusks.


^ A leopard :D

~oh, the wonderful times...

jiayou

Hey guys! I made some jelly on the day before. Then, I ate it yesterday. And it turned out to be abit soggy. Cuz I added 100ml more water in case it was too sweet. XD I will rmb not to add too much water next time. :)

I just realised that I have only... 18 days left to my EOYs! I thought I still had like one week plus... :( I have to chiong sia. Haiz, I should have started earlier... Really regret. And I was having all kinds of trouble trying to type my history essay as I had brain lag... Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, just here to say.... JIAYOUS TO EVERYONE FOR END OF YEAR EXAMS!!!!

18 more days to EOY~

new blog

I feel like creating another blog, ya know? Like another one which shows the other side of myself... Meaning, like when I feel totally depressed... I can like write crap on the other blog. Cuz... (to my parents just in case they reading) I like cannot say my REAL feelings here. When I totally feel like scolding bad words or wadeva, my parents would come and see and then, lecture.... so yeah...

Yeah, lately, I have been feeling DEPRESSED.... I like... I feel like as if everything that I do is so meaningless and the results I get are bad, so, what's the use? There was once (a confession) when I felt like DYING. Scary right? Well, coincidentally, I had my period then and I lost 2 of my precious stuff. My softball glove (but found it in the end) and my wallet. My wallet was during the BBQ when I wrote bad stuff on this blog. Remember? I was crying when I was bathing. I felt life was damn meaningless and that it was only for us to suffer.... Yep, sounds kinda like depression. I even thought of the ways to die...... Kk, now I am freaking myself out too.... And to my parents if they see this: PLEASE don't give me some prep talk. Thanks. But I got over it. However, sometimes, I would still get that feeling...

My softball throwing is not good, so I am like feel like as if I am the black sheep of my team liddat. I feel like as if I am dragging them down. Actually, I need not be in the team cuz there is already enough team members.... And, yeah. But then, my friends are like always encouraging me, so that keeps me going. :D Thanks u gals.

Today, I made pizza using bread, sausage, green pepper, cheeze, tomatoes and the tomato paste. :) Was a great breakfast I must say so myself. Very fufilling. Lunch was chao kway teow. I think that that was an achievement. Today was one of the best days with my family I guess. Usually, I just dont feel like talking to them. Sometimes I find them irritating. XD But today was nice. :) Love it today! I suddenly feel like going to Genting this year!!!! :P

Oh yah, almost forgot. HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!!!!!!! My school celebrated on Friday. Was soooooo fun!!!! But the concert, the centrestage finalist is like.... err... not good. I think her tune is okay but her voice no strength and she pronounciation no clear. I was thinking, "How did she win???" and Valen was at the back kicking my chair. D: Haha, but after I kept ignoring him, he stop. XD My belief: To deal with these kind of people, just ignore them. XP

This life is an instance in our immortal soul~

green

I dunno why... but I have taken a sudden liking to the colour GREEN. Example, my new water bottle is.... GREEN. Yep, and the colour is kinda nice~ I have also had a coincidence with the colour as my pri school house colour is GREEN. Omg I feel like Geronimo Stilton whereby the word will have colour etc, heehee. :D

Here are some reasons why I think green is nice now:

1. Seems appealing to me now
2. Gives me a cool and calming feeling
3. Seems kinda groovy
4. Associated with nature and nature is BEAUTIFUL~
5. My new water bottle is green :D
6. I kinda prefer green to purple-like colours now
7. Green makes me feel SPECIAL

Heehee. XD Haiz, maybe I can like both green and purple??? LOL.
Tomorrow got softball... :'(

ikea.giant.courts.

Heyo! Went to Ikea, Giant and Courts on Saturday...

And here is the list of food I ate:
11.30am - Ate mee pok at Giant
1.30pm - Ate chicken wings at Ikea
4.30pm - Ate subway sandwich at Courts
7.30pm - Ate stingray, kangkong, kailan and fish, prawns

IMAGINE THAT! I ate 4 meals in 8 hours.
= 1 meal every 2 hours

Haha, no wonder when I reach home, I got stomachache while watching Boys over flowers. XD

Yesterday, my cousins and auntie came to my house to make jiao zi and siew mai!!!! :D Was so fun! We spent the time making siew mai and jiao zi of all kinds of shape and sizes. My bro made some SUPER skinny ones and we kept laughing. He made a siew mai containing ONLY carrots. But in the end, it was too dry to eat. :P

Then, I played cards with Iris and Ivy. I won only once. The rest of the time was focused on arguing with Ivy on whether Jihoo or Junpyo is more handsome. I asked Joelle today and she said Jihoo. Ha! (Ivy, I told ya!!!!) :D

Then, after eating curry with chicken (yummy) and the siew mai and jiao zi we made, we went to watch TV. Ivy showed me some videos of BOF's new series abt Anycall. LOL. Jihoo is so damn funny and cute. :) Then I took pics of Ivy and accidentally got flash. Ivy's expression was so funny that I kept laughing. Took some more pics and I commented on them. Most of them showed her looking fat. XD jkjk.

Played netball with some 1k gals today. Discussed some strategy etc. Excited for the interclass games!!!!!!!! :D
