i just realised again how much i've been eating lately. yesterday at my grandmother's house, i polished off (with v little help) 3/4 of a packet of marshmellows.

we did a pretty weird thing today during cathetism. angie gave us pretzel sticks dipped in honey and asked us to eat them while we muse over e bible. i think tt was really very nice! e honey was too sweet but e pretzel sticks were really good. angie gets more erm... creative every lesson. i still remember e peanut incident (of which i shall not elaborate) oh ya... jill, becky and evelyn, i'm really sorry i can't go w u guys to watch e twelfth night musical thing. have to go eat dinner at my grandmummy's house to celebrate (grand)mother's day. but anyway... i'm feeling a little better today as compared to yesterday (as well as during GTE's lesson) but still a bit tired. my stomach isn't feeling too good and i feel a slight bit queasy. which reminds me. when i came home after band, i stepped into e house to see my mother and Mr Ian Snodgrass arguing about fertility cycles ("what happens when spotting occurs? how does e mucous cycle fit in to the Billings method when it has evolve so much?") no wonder my father was eating lunch on e porch outside.

just came back. feel like slapping tt stupid GTE's face. think he's so damn great. because renhui was sitting inside waiting for alison, GTE took e chance to show off his wonderful playing skills. he rarely plays for us, but everytime one of alison's guides friends are inside e room waiting for her, he never fails to show off. decided long ago tt he is e most irritating, boastful and egoistical person i've ever met. but tt's not e worst thing. throughout e whole day, i've been feeling really exhausted. i don't know why. just feeling ...tired. as a whole. not e morning wake up tired kind but more like e brain is saturated kind, no idea wat to do. shld i jog more often? relax more? but so many tests coming up. i hate catheism. shld i skip today? if i do, it'll be my 3rd time, and i cannot skip more than 7 times if i want to get confirmed. !@#$%^&*

yes. i'm typing another entry. tt's because i hate long, loooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggg entries. not really hate. but it's not v presentable (in my opinion). and as i was saying, i am tired. why doesn't e school understand how taxing all these tests are? and e school oso decides to get all self-righteous about it. ya ya they may know alot more than us. and they may know wat's best, but in e words of Morpheus in the matrix "knowing the path is not the same as walking through it". is tt about right? dunno. was reading someone's blog about crusty bread, and had a sudden inspiration to do an experiment - take a piece of bread, butter it, and drop it to see which side it lands on. suddenly feel like trying tt out, but it's such a waste of bread and butter. we all need bread and butter.

i dunno wat's wrong w me. i'm getting so irritable nowadays. mebbe it's e lack of sleep? i really dunno. am v stressed out about e lit play. e money thing. e stupid thing is burning a huge hole in my pocket and i have no choice but to let it be. because i have no right to order someone else to pay up. especially if they claimed to have paid. now i'm not saying there are liars in my class but this trust thing is getting pretty taxing on my pockets. sigh. i've got a long way to go. in terms of... everything. and i dunno why she keeps on saying that. i would have, could have just broke down in front of everyone but of course i din. it's very tiring to just laugh it off and pretend everything's fine. of course i do tt but it's... fake? hmm. as lana lang would say, "secrets and lies just keep ppl apart". it's quite funny to see clark start gulping and swallowing when he heard tt, but then again, i'm just plain mean.

went to eat at lau pa sat after school today w trinetta, evelyn and elaine. hmm. i think i eat too much. spent a total of $4.50.

jogged 3 rounds today during recess. was so tired. i feel tt i've really let myself down because i was initially planning on running 5 rounds. then after jogging for about 200m, jill started saying smthg. i forgot wat it was, but then i started laughing. which was really bad. so i got a really pre-mature stitch. so i said to jill "Jill, let's make it 4 rounds". so she said ok. i think another 300m later, i said again "how about 3". so it was three rounds. and with one more round to go, watched helplessly as trinetta broke away muttering smthg like "must go faster, must go faster". scary. later tt i almost collasped; was so tired. i hate running, especially when it involves more than one round on the track. probably because i have a rather weak mind and i just cannot stop thinking negatively. miss lim is right (yes, u're right, evelyn); it's all in e mind. but talk is cheap, isn't it? but i'm sure no one doubts miss lim can jog 6 rounds w/o stopping. she's scary (in a good way). some mind she has.

went to make IC today. say becky and her mum at e ICA. compared to my mum, becky's mum looks so... young. my mum is positively frumpy compared to her (sorry, mum) and my mum yaks on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. grr. when she fetched me to sch today, she insisted on singing e "spirit wings" song and everytime she either got e lyrics or e tune wrong. so my sister was correcting her. and corrected her again and again but my mum kept on getting it wrong. so irritating. i was exhausted frm getting up early and had to endure my mum's awful singing. i really admire my sis. dunno how she can put up with my mum. but my sis is always so irritable. everytime i ask her for help, she always gives this irritable sulk and answers in curt tones. am i really that irritating? (yes) probably cos she has her A's coming soon and she doesn't want me to bother her w e 'chicken-feet, easy-peasy O level questions. pah!' but i dunno who else to ask. my schedule is too packed to get any more tution, and i sure as hell am not going to ask my mum for help. uh-uh. never. not as if she was damn good in her studies last time? wat can i do? i'm stupid

stole this frm someone. it's not illegal right? i think it's quite fun... alot of ppl seem to be doing this right now.

i don't want to kepp on feeling. but i do. i'm at my wit's end. got back my a maths. and guess wat? i failed. single digit number. physics wasn't good. goodbye A1. goodbye A2. goodbye B3. goodbye B4. goodbye C5. goodbye C6. goodbye D7. goodbye E8. hello F9.

stressed. not studying obviously, going to fail my physics. shall try and rush through my speech, then mebbe can start studying physics at 8. ran 5 rounds today. was feeling pretty ok after two rounds, but e 3rd round was bad, e 4th round worse, and e last round was pure agony. next week is trial run (miss lim taking?! so scary!!!) so i really better buck up. miss lim can make anyone feel bad. like u're-not-trying-hard-enough-kind. initial goal for 2.4 was 11+, but looks like i have to settle for much less (in this case, much more) and hopefully i can run under 13 minutes.

euthanasia is scary. printed 16 pages worth of information (tt's just scratching e surface). can't believe i changed e topic of my speech just like tt but miss praba said e vivisection one wasn't tt global. good grief. i've printed over 50 pages of vivisection research, and also downloaded a few gruesome pictures of animals being experimented on and saved them onto a disk. was actually planning to go to someone's house to do e ppt since i dun have ppt at home. and then all it takes is for miss praba to say tt vivisection isn't really a global issue. so there goes all my effort, paper, ink, disk space, and time.

am trying to research on euthanasia now. and trying to find e stupid pics of e bermuda triangle thing since i din save e file e last time round (note to self: save, save and always save ur work even though it may not seem like u'll need it next time) i'm v stressed. heck care about e science competition thing (sure to get participation) but i'm a bit worried for chem and physics tests. feel quite guilty because i watched e matrix (5th time) and oso just watched x-men for e third time. wolverine is so
