OHMYTIAN I'm finally back home and using the computer for the first time in like 1.5 weeks! Man there's so much I wanted to blog about that I've forgotten it all. And its quite late now, so I guess I'll just say i'm happy to be online now. I shall try to recall some things tmr. For now I'll just show you what goofballs my classmates are :D And you'll see why I love them so much.
MARISSALEE: "Oh no what am I going to do for FAM! If I embarrass myself on stage you guys better laugh okay!" Sure marissa, we laugh at most people who embarrass themselves XD
(After MLee signs Deb, Sim and I out of school at 1150 instead of 1050, we finish lunch at 1150 and are preparing to take the bus home.)
MLee: "Eh this is the time I signed us out! So can we walk back to school so that we'll have spent more than 5 mins outside school!"
(Walking back to school)
MarissaSim: "Hey, where does Spiderman's web come out from? He doesn't have holes in his wrist right?"
Kat:" I think his gloves and suit are detached right, so the web comes out from there."
Sim: " Oh, right. I was thinking it'd be kinda weird if his web came out from his fingers right?"
...
Sim: "But spiders produce web from their mouth right?"
Kat: "Then how to eat?!"
Deb: "Oh I was thinking it could be that kind of recyclable web, yknow, like the sticky thing that helps to grab food and it retracted again?"
...
Sim: "OH so it comes out from the butt la!"
Lee: " Yeah!"
Sim: "But then how come spiderman's web comes out from his wrists and not his butt?"
Lee: "But if the web comes out of his butt, then he'd be hanging like a moron! And he wouldn't be able to move at all!"
HAHA can you imagine Spiderman hanging doubled over, with the strand of web coming out of his ass, and screaming for help! HAHA OMG.
Oh yeah, went to Ace to try out yesterday, and I actually quite liked the place. The people there are pretty nice, and though the program we did yesterday wasn't that hard and I was kinda dying, I think its just cos I'm unfit. I think I'll like the program, but I'm prob going back once or twice more to try out again. We'll see I guess. Jaan's not gone yet anyway. <3
Alright will try to post the pictures of Mayumi's party, my getting cheated at BKmidpoint (whish seems like ages ago), and the random pics of my cousin's 3month old Westinghouse Terrier LIZZIE and other stuff. VVV tired now, and we're playing netball again tmr morning.
Off to clear stuff.

JUST SAW THIS ON MEL'S BLOG and its totally hilarious. Courtesy of Zhixin!
"Dear Diary,
In three months time I will be leaving my beloved secondary school to enter a new phase and passage of horrors, a CO-ED school education! The teachers at school gave us a talk on Friday on "Getting Ready For A Co-Ed Education" during CLE and they showed us some pictures of the Other Species. At that point of time I wanted so badly to raise my hand and ask them a question which had been troubling me throughout the entire talk:
"What, exactly, is a guy???"
because they didn't seem to adequately explain it. Sure, I saw some pictures of rather short-haired individuals mostly who were running with balls and piled on top of each other (which I still couldn't get the purpose of-- it did look rather fun though, if you were looking at them from the point of view of a giant getting ready for his breakfast of pancakes.) but I decided not to ask them the all-so-confusing question in the end because everyone else seemed so sure of what they were and I felt certain that they would definitely laugh at me. When I asked my friends this question they felt sure that I was joking around with them and laughed, and I laughed with them as well so as not to seem like a complete moron, but in the end I still couldn't see what A Guy was because nobody bothered to explain that term to me.
The teacher had several colourful slides on the Other Species and How They Behave. According to her, we couldn't treat them like we treated each other, such as giving gifts and hugs to each other, asking them to go out with us and giving them special attention, because they would get the Wrong Idea and it was Very Very Bad of us to give them the Wrong Idea if we weren't intending to act upon it. Hereforth I was puzzled again; why would doing that to the Other Species give them a Wrong Idea, and what sort of a Wrong Idea was it? I decided that this foreign species must be very sensitive to Ideas because they seemed to take everything wrongly. Maybe they haven't been passing their tests, which might lead to poor self confidence about themselves and thus cause them to think wrongly all along. Poor things, to have been lacking in intelligence all their lives.
According to her this Other Species do not greet each other like we do; apparently they do a lot of grunting and punching each other in the arm. This idea is certainly new to me, to have been so evolutionally unevolved throughout the entire hundreds of thousands of years of our existance! It must take a great deal of effort to remain stagnant in their development, because according to my History lessons primates from the past grunted a lot as they did not have a full set of language devloped. It must be incredible to still grunt even with a full set of language predisposed to our resources. My friends and I tried to practise grunting but we didn't seem to have succeeded. Note to self: I must remember to observe these new creatures to better imitate the primitive sound of grunting.
She also advised us not to take their words too harshly and to heart, because they were apparently more direct and not as diplomatic as we are. They also tend to be more "task-oriented" and even when a person is sick, they will still go on with their projects with no concern whatsoever to the person. This is not to say that they do not care, she said, because apparently underneath they do. This is all very strange to me, because how can they be so machine-like in their daily projects and actions, and not care about the people themselves? Such bolshelvistic thinking. They must be the reason for the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, or the Industrial Revolution in England. These unfeeling, unthinking and primitive creatures are truly a marvel to me.
Before the talk we had a questionnaire, and these are the questions for us to circle yes/no beside:
1. I have male sibling(s).
2. I attended a co-ed primary school.
3. I know how boys behave.
4. I am looking forward to studying in a co-ed environment.
5. I think RI boys are nerdy and bookish.
6. I think RI boys are ungentlemanly and insensitive.
7. I think the boys I meet at RJC will be super-smart.
8. I think the boys I meet at RJC will be considerate and caring.
All of this I did not give an answer because I had no idea what they were asking, seeing that I did not understand the entire notion of "boys". However, when they asked the questions, a lot of hands went up for question 5 and 6 and no hands went up for questions 7 and 8 for "yes". This has made me very fearful of entering Junior College, especially when there is an entire bunch of this Other Species who are nerdy, bookish, ungentlemanly and insensitive, and obviously not very smart, considerate or caring.
I think Junior College would be a terrible experience for me. I am counting down the days to go and feeling the rising dread in me, consuming me from inside out. There is something very wrong in the world if such creatures are allowed to study with us. Perhaps the authorities hope that with our influence, such creatures will grow in intelligence and maturity, and therefore put us into the enclosure with these barbaric animals. However, regardless of whatever reasons the authorities have, which I am sure must be good ones, I still do not think this is fair to us. There must be some form of negative liberty that we have, the rights to movement and choice as to whether we want to be dumped into the cooking pot and fried like kentucky chicken (which I ate three and a half pieces on saturday). The world isn't fair of course-- maybe we aren't included in Mill's Harm Principle as we could still be considered children. I do not think that this is a form of paternalism though, because how can this be for our good??? I think we should start a protest with regards to our rights.
In mortal fear of entering junior college,
September 16, 12.18pm."
