Mamihlapinatapai.

HI EVERYONE, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A STICKY NOTE, WHICH MEANS THAT IT’LL FOREVER BE THE FIRST POST YOU’LL SEE ON MY WORDPRESS. COOL EY? FOR UPDATED ONES, SCROLL DOWN!

(kissez)

Mamihlapinatapai (sometimes spelled mamihlapinatapei) is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It describes

“a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.”

Interesting.

Happens awfully often.

-Boom Boom Pow, Black Eye Peas

hello yellow dirty fellows.
i’m currently at the airport surfing wireless.
and shuchuin is beside me.
and we have less than an hour left to board.
and char tingwei and jiaxin thinks that we are no-lifers and have decided to abandon us.
and boo-hoo.
and “zou le la” says shuchuin.
and that’s enough.

“It’s like a million little stars spelling out your name.”

okay so yesterday was the in-house SC camp. and apparently i forgot to return this charades card i was supposed to act out -.-

1. EZRAH! with melanie, jiaxin, ada, sheena, jinyu, peter, benjamin, yingying, yusiang. so for the first game 酸甜苦辣咸淡 (i think it’s teaching us about 人生道理), our group damn own because i think we all dared to try and take risk (although one spoon of salt made my stomach turn a little) and everyone contributed and volunteered. also i think our group is very weird because we like lemons, capsicums, apples in honey and water. (‘cept wasabi and salt /:)

2.when we went to the field we had to tie our legs together to pick up balls. and i think our group pwned at this game because our strategy rocks sia. we spread out and try to block other groups and when the whistle blew, we chiong as one straight line and picked up all the balls in our path lol.

3. during the night games, i was ‘kidnapped’ from my group (apparently gordon said they took the more ahem ‘vocal’ ones) and locked into a classroom with gordon and both of us were rlly scared because it was rlly dark and my group took quite long to find me.
when they finally found me, they didn’t have a key because it went missing. so immediately we all started panicking because we couldn’t get out, like “how how? die! stuck here forever!” this went on for about 7 mins.
then we realized that the door could be opened from the inside -.-

Cash-Flow Games

Rat-Race. ohwell, none of our group members could get out of the rat race ):

i’m the banker so all the money is mine muahahaha.

serene was very proud that she kenna this and wanted to take a picture.

DOCTOR!

so i guess that’s all for my 2oo9 school year. i think playing ball on the last day was a good epilogue :D ahem right zhen?

“Find a way to cry, but what if my tears don’t dry?”

-Daddy O, Hedley

it’s the last day of school and i’m currently on bus 30. probably the last time i’ll be on it for the rest of the year.

i do this when i’m crying really badly.
but my hot water doesn’t run out.
so i wait for my tears to.
-

i’m amazed that i even made it through Doomsday. i would say more like stumbled, stuttered and shattered.

Bad News.
1. GPA. like shit. i think my parents might want me to quit Council. so really, what’s the point of the position now? furthermore i should live up to my standard as a Councillor and SL and i feel guily bcos maybe i don’t deserve this position at all. and i think i 辜负 a hell lot of people, like my parents and teachers. and probably myself as well.

Good News.
2. CCA Coordinator. really happy bcos i didn’t expect it at all. what with my terribly screwed results and all.

3. Smile. well that ‘hi’ did lift my spirits and exert a little spring in my steps. but only for a while. today meanwhile, i have no mood to smile in the shower and all through sleep.

-

so in conclusion, today is a very bad day, probably -3/10 because altho there were good news, it did not out-weigh the main bad one as it caused the good news to be affected and made them turn seemingly bad in the end.
-

i will now go to bed and turn in early, hiding my report book. have no idea if tomorrow will be better but will deal with the world tomorrow. sadness part deux.

i will also clean up the bathroom floor.

“Screwing up the best thing ever is something you’ll regret forever.”

-Sleepless Nights, Faber Drive

what if i screw it up?
what if i ruin it all?
what if i fail my one and only chance?

currently i’m trembling and thinking way too much. predicting the consequences and outcomes. i’ve never wanted anything as badly as i want this in my whole life.

so so much is happening all at once tomorrow. very much parallel to Judgement Day.

or Doomsday, rather.

i probably should stop thinking about the What Ifs. not doing me any good.

what if i don’t get what i expected?
what if i don’t do my best?
what if. what if. what if.

okay, starting right now.

shingz.

“I’ll send a postcard to you dear,

‘Cause I wish you were here.”

Wish You Were Here. Badly.
its’kay, 2 more days left and i get to see y’all and get to play ball like madness and get my (gulp) report book.

hmm so alrightt, this post’ll be about uhm my shopping adventures? i think there are more pictures that i take compared to the stuff that i buy lol.

Floating market in Pattaya

Streets

Floating market boat

Roasted chestnuts

Do not swim

 

Lights from the stalls

Pick pockets.

okay that’s enough, good bye!

Trick or Treat?

Sooo,
today is halloween! sad to say, i don’t think singapore celebrates halloween, the halloween atmosphere is even worse in singapore than in thailand -.-

-

Silver Lake Vineyard
Pattaya Grape Escape

-

Khao Chee Chan Buddha Mountain

cheryl and i were being awfully lame bcos we didn’t want to face the sun, too bright lol.

Alcazar Cabaret

so i believe you all know J, the guy who can speak chinese;
then he was like jumping and shouting ’shenjingbing!’ to chingyi and me, but unfortnately for him (or us), we saw his underwear and we were like ‘ni de di ku!” so of course he couldn’t understand and tried guessing the meaning. also we tried teaching Au and J stupid in malay which is ‘bo-do’.
J: you want to wear bo-do?
Au: i want to buy bo-do!
and we were wondering how on earth can you buy bo-do and we laughed all the way through the mall until Au told us to stop bcos i was crashing into other people and chingyi’s face was red.

oh and also when i opened my bag, i found thai-style bracelets on a hook  (the kind you see in shopping malls where they hook accessories) i was like swearing i didn’t steal it and J say it’s a gift from heaven and the angels, but i left it on a random table anyway. not taking any chances.

Ripley’s Haunted House, Believe It Or Not, Maze, 4D Movie.

of course, i went for everything other than the haunted house and Au entered the door of the house half-way and last minute decided to run out, which was quite funny.
4D ‘Legend of the White Horse’, story made no cock sense but the effects were cool and chingyi and i liked the galloping of the horse parts and when the horse died, we were quite sad. but the horse revived (wow) so we continued galloping.

i believe y’all know what a cabaret is. apparently this one is more famous than the others bcos all the women are transexuals (with rlly fake, hot bodies) one ticket cost around SGD40+ but i’m rlly sorry to say that i wasted the money bcos i don’t think cabarets are my cup of tea so chingyi and i sort of slept through half the thing, while the guys were wide-eyed and awake -.- 

-

haha my love! i miss y’all omg i sound total mushiness eew.

“Take a deep breath and jump then fall.”

-Jump Then Fall, Taylor Swift (Fearless Platinum Edition)

Waterfalls are really cool, but we don’t have these in Singapore. and even if we do, it’ll be man-made or something ): when i see my thai buddies jump in splashing and carefree, and i look at us touching the water with much hestitation, i wonder how although we are all children, we  have so much differences.

anyway in the end, i did jump in but got swept away by the current so gordon and J had to pull me back in -.- also, standing against the waterfall was the best feeling ever, with the wind blasting at your face and massage by the pressure of the water.

oh yeah and also water from the mountain is damm clean (according to eileen) but i argued with her bcos we’re not at the top of the mountain -.-

-

Airport

hmm yes our funny adventures started from the airport,

1. we saw people scanning bags and stuff, then gordon was like “TERRORIST! BANG BANG BANG!” then the security guards looked at us. cheryl, chingyi and i covered our faces while gordon was smiling at them.

2. cheryl’s bag had a scissors so the security guard asked her whether she wanted to throw or claim, and she said claim so she had to fill in a damn looooong form. for a scissors.

PHAT-THAI. rlly good thai dish- fried noodles. :D

-

Zalaaca Fruit Garden

erm yeah so we took a 2 hour long bus ride to see a zalaaca fruit garden. seems to me that it’s thailand most popular fruit, but it just tastes like durian to me, ‘cept that it has no taste lol.

so we spent 30 mins observing a fruit.
eileen: now we know why it’s called a fruit garden and not a fruits garden.

Khao Khitchakut National Park

rightt, so this is their National Park, had to climb thru steep terrains to the waterfall. hmm had abrasions and stuff, but feeling the wind in your face was worth it i guess.

Mangrove Forest

all the trees below are mangrove trees, srsly. so for once i’m taller than the trees!

-

hey guys, i’m not exactly homesick but i guess i miss class and school. and whenever i think about _________ i get abit jealous bcos i’m not there to see ______. okay i’m talking rubbish, pls ignore and i miss y’all, be back soon!

“And between now and then, till I see you again,

I’ll be loving you. Love, me.”
-Love, Me, Collin Raye

in 2 hours, i’ll be at the airport.
i’ll be missing so much of Singapore.
i’ll be missing blowing of noses blasting resoundingly in my left, right and diagonal (Claire, Zhen, Mel) and daily “yu-parngs”.
i’ll be missing arguing with Clar on random things, laughing with Pearl and Rachel, sleeping with Serene, high5-ing Claire, balling with Tingwei, “childish, immature and hypocritical” (all in one) Mancini.
i’ll be missing Ben and Benghwee’s jokes, Melvin’s stories, Xinyi’s screaming, Sarah’s pro-ness.

Year1 Year2 Interclass

interclass was
fun: and funny to see the some really cool serves and moves hahah.
tiring: to run around finding late or lost groups because they just wouldn’t pick up their handphone -.-
heart-warming: to see how groups hug and jump around one another after a win.

pen, paper, scoreboard, water bottle=
responsible SL :D

getting ready.

score board. this has been my best friend for 3 whole days -.-

加油！

view from me.

yanting and i.

oh and also i learnt the serious consequence of turning the scoreboard wrongly (bcos ms tan was talking to me and i got distracted -.-)

the score was 24-23 or smth then i turned the 23 score wrongly, which is a very serious mistake, bcos that meant deuce. then suddenly hear an uproar from the crowd and players, which was damn ps.

afterwards:
me: hey you think which match more exciting?
clar: hmm the other one.
ben: no no, you turn the scoreboard wrongly most exciting. everybody shout leh! turn wrongly again leh!

math: both failed, ohwells more than half of the level failed. MUST BANISH THAT THOUGHT AND PUT MY HAND TO MY HEART AND REFLECT.

chem: disappointing, a bit more to an A dammit.

chinese: abit more to B, expected.

LA: omg hahah i got highest ever for my compre.

history: well, my only A. and i’m happy that i got at least some marks for every question altho i wrote rubbish :D and full marks 12 for my first essay hahahah.

bio: B, deeply incredibly astonishingly disappointing. maybe i didn’t study hard enough, maybe i couldn’t handle exams, but altho my bio currently sucks to the core of the earth, i still love bio as much as ever :D
