today is Good Friday and since morning I've resolved to be a GOOD person this morning, and not quarrel or rather quibble with anyone, not even my brother. (: though i did yell at my mother for putting the damn adapter which can heat up on my piano (!!!!)
oh right after finishing up my conversation with glen and ruiyi last night i went back to my room to sleep, with the lack of the knowledge that my brother turned on the aircon and CLOSED THE DOOR. what happened thereafter was an amalgam of pain, hysteria and retarded laughter.
my brother: you walked into a DOOR?!! a DOOR?!! eh omg it's not even a GLASS door! HAHHAHAHHA.
and being a typical self-amused person i went to spread the incident of stupidity. chingto: congratulations you've joined my long list of friends who walk into things.
but it's okay since it occurs at a very low frequency, approximately once every 7 years. the last time i did such things is in primary 4 when i walked into a glass door. i think i was smarter then,though.
anyway speaking of my family my mother makes VERY WEIRD comments on things.(translated) me: hmm so do you understand what i'm talking about. mom: no. your chinese is like kiam chai.
like WHAT THE HELL who on earth describes the proficiency of a language as kiam chai?!
later in the day... me: eh mommy you say wrongly lah. your chinese also like kiam chai. mom: no it's like rojak.
?!?!?!?!!!!
am very excited at the prospects of a new ipod nano, hm i'm actually dizzy with fantasy and somewhat deluded. but ah wells, i believe with enough begging and whining and promises that I'll try to keep. this will actually come true! (:
didn't do much today, hohum. ): but i'll need to research on PIP(..) , study physics, practise piano, find songs, fix my blogskin in ie, draw a postcard cos i had a sudden impetus to and i promised so. LIFE'S STILL GOOD LAH. (:
i wish i have the luxury of saying that everyday of my life is peaceful, which isn't exactly very far off from reality, because it really boils down to how i perceive my days to be. ah wells God gives me inner peace and motivation for life, which makes me a very contented person at least.
i realised i'm actually doing less retarded stuff which makes me have less things to blog about. but IT'S ALL PART OF GROWING UP AND GROWING OUT OF THE PHASE. (:
and swimming pe was laughing-to-train-abs-time, cos i couldn't stop laughing with bena and while swimming it doesn't stop, so i ended up disorientating myself and toppling over. -.-
anyway i've got actually quite a bit to blog but i'm talking to chingto online and i can't multi task for nuts. so another day then (:
I take solace in the fact that in everything i do i seek not the favour of man, but instead through my actions glorify God and please God because truly He's the one who has plans to prosper me. Dispel all feelings of being unappreciated, because He's the one who sees every little morsel of effort I put in, in relationships or work alike.
Jeremiah 29:11/ Luke 6:35/ Isaiah 40:31
That's my motivation for term 2 hohum, i suppose it'll work better than resolutions (i gave them up long time ago, since i don't keep to them anyway haha.) PW, LECTURE TESTS, CLASS TESTS, WANT-TO-SLEEP-BUT-NEED-TO-STAY-AWAKE-MOMENTS, NAPFA, SWIMMING PE, SCARY ECONS TEACHER, ETC ETC, BRING IT ON. (:
i'm still scared.. but uh whatever haha.
and this time last year , there will be Discover Jesus Week to look forward to,and all the sobbing at altar calls and when i see God extending his hand to us. rahh screw these moments that make me miss MG.
Went to Jeannette's Church thing, pretty interesting, empowering, I teared abit. haha ok it was embarrassing, rather.
And we met Mr Loh omg like SERIOUSLY what's with me and chemistry teachers I met Mrs Tan in Orchard when Vany and I went to watch The Golden Compass; Mrs MM Lim ( sec 2 chem teacher) when I was at Bugis. It's quite creepy come to think of it.
Christmas, New Year and then 2nd Jan -crosses fingers. I'm looking towards school generally, not so much on the part of making friends, orientation and sticking out in a sea of beige and..solid white. On a side note, a certain cough cough refuses to wake up until 7 to go to school early. -_- Sleep owns Excitement. Seriously. I shake my index finger.
I interrupt myself to give myself some time to blog about the birthday kidnap which happened on a sunny afternoon exactly a week ago. (:
Story conversation style. Looking at the photos kind of make me laugh uncontrollably haha.
"HELLO YU LI" Vera greets me with a very conniving smile and swiftly draped wx's emo grey jacket over me giving me no time to react. And look where's Vera's hand? I wanted to pull the jacket but she pushed it back -_-
Ok i was really scared this time around cos I couldn't see a thing! Like I mean in LTC and whatever camps we always cheat cos if you look down you can see something though you are blindfolded? Wx's amazing emo jacket completely obscured my vision la! And I was screaming super loudly " STEP STEP I BET THERE'S A STEP" out of fear that I'll tumble down the steps and embarass myself crazy. o0
Bernice armed with a camera says " SMILE YU LI!" like. for what. -_-
This is the cake. and this is the very happy and surprised yu li. Surprises are coolio man. (:
Bread talk cakes, which eventually ended up in my stomach and converted into adipose tissues under my skin.
PHOTOS STOLEN FROM SHERILYN ON THECITYSONG.LIVEJOURNAL.COM (:
oh on saturday i saw these at aljunied mrt, where they were having major reconstruction.
"not design for human load." "out of ordeer" "please mine your head."
wow apparently there isnt such a problem in the construction sector, but they ought to do some quality control on the output of the english department.
bleh sometimes i feel unappreciated. ):
OH OH THANK YOU TO THOSE WHOEVER WHO WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY! on my blog, a shoutout, sms, friendster etc etc. thank you thank you (:
thank you sherilyn, jevon, val, wini and wx & brother, vera, elaine, bernice for 2 birthday companies!
haha i remembered how i taught vera how to address wx and her brother!
vera: wx.... wx's brother.... me: why dont you try wx's brother's sister.
I realised talking to juniors can actually get quite fun, albeit the fact that I get lost sometimes and end up getting bullied cough deborah cough and have to throw in some random comments to make my life a whole load easier.
&'nicole: dvorak? deborah lin died: ahhaah d9 when out of insp: is d9 supposed to be a smiley? &'nicole: D9!! &'nicole: D5 &'nicole: and D6 when out of insp: what's d5 d9 when out of insp: is it like durian or something. deborah lin died: symphonies xD deborah lin died: HAHAHA deborah lin died: gosh nicole! hahaha quote her!
how would i know that D9 would stand for Dvorak's Symphony No.9. It's like terms of the new era and I belong to the old one.
(10:15 PM) when out of insp: wow (10:15 PM) when out of insp: nicole's really slow.
(10:15 PM) &'nicole: whattt. (10:15 PM) &'nicole: WHO IS SLOW. (10:15 PM) &'nicole: when out of inspiration use splatter brushes. says: what's d5 d9 when out of inspiration use splatter brushes. says: is it like durian or something (10:15 PM) when out of insp: haha (10:15 PM) when out of insp: sorry la. (10:15 PM) when out of insp: this is called detached from society
they decided to turn my weakness against me.
well last night i spent 3 hours consolidating my creative juices and conjuring up the programme booklet cover for "clique de musique" which is the mg strings concert in 2008. I'm pretty satisfied with the result I must say, and apparently so do those that I showed it to, except for cough cough my debate with nic and deb over whether the violin should be red, or green. T.T
I still have the ticket to do and ticket's pretty much a headache I think. :x
yet another pathetic attempt to keep me photoshopping. I WILL MAKE IT LAST! PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE. see i made 3 headers in less than a day, that's a very good start. i'll consider if i want to move to livejournal another day, too much to take.
EDIT. VINTAGE IS GOOD. like really good. not cos i'm a wannabe who just says "vintage is looove" for the sake of saying it but vintage is hilarious, comical, nostalgic.
and the image right up there is under the creative commons license! not cos i licensed it, but well, some of the stocks are under the license. but the main reason of licensing it is just to make my site look all cool and professional.
and i really like the texture from hybrid-genesis! the top left faded rainbow thing in the background! it's so pretty. haha and i spent almost a day on this layout (sorry inspiration drought), i think it's my favourite out of the three layouts i have here : DD lyrics from candyman by christina anguilera. i never learnt how to spell her surname :x
AND i like my green gingerbread man. (:
/EDIT
TSHIRT
SWEATSHIRT.
'
front and back.
haha oh guys if you seriously want the brown/ green you have to find the printer that can do it cos the brown and green arent very common.
MY BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS THE MOST AMAZING THING ON EARTH. (:
right after some self-realisation that i have 3 mugger papers next week i decided that i was going to sleep at 10.30pm last night, and kk i'm going to wake up at 6.30 am this morning but instinctively i woke up at 4.30am! cos usually for school i'll sleep at 12.00+ and wake up at 6.30.. so you can kind of see my sleep hours. AMAZING RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT!
i know (: but that's no guarantee that i'll stay awake. -.- -.- -.-
on the other hand, my whole family's sleep pattern is screwed. my brother sleeps at the time i wake up, my mother's sleep hours are defined by me, the time i wake is the time she wakes, and my father leaves the house at 5.30 for work. like, crazehh as if he works in indonesia or sth.
i need to finish plant reproduction by 9.00 am go me!
and flickr has ALOT ALOT ALOT OF STOCK IMAGES. must must must must must resist (x
AFTER EXAMS I'M GOING TO EAT SASHIMI. but for today i think i shall eat instant pasta for lunch.
i am a very blessed person. -nods. cos i have pretty nice hair. -nods even harder.
but i decided to share my blessing.. WITH THE HAIRDRESSER BY ALLOWING HIM TO HACK HALF OF IT OFF. (: well i've been contemplating to cut my hair for really long but i guess i never dared to, and seeing half of 4e chop off theirs i made up my mind to go ahead and jump on the bandwagon, i must say i'm quite satisfied with it. he's super nice he was slowly snipping my hair a little at a time like an artpiece, and in total he spent around 50 minutes WOW.
and the amount that went on the ground if donated to the recycling company could have fetched ALOT of money. haha. oops ahwell.
and no vera you cant kill me i shall arm myself with a penknife tmr haha. i kid.
miss chuah is amusingly interesting, on my cme essay she actually drew this weird ass looking tree with a sloth hanging from it. the last point of her comments was "is my drawing of a sloth nice?' or sth like that. vany seow and i laughed damn hard over it. 1st time was "well done yu li keep up the good work!" on my 28.5/50 compre I DONT KNOW WHAT'S NEXT.
thank God for my physics mark(not that it's fantastic), yes i may have some sort of foundation but i dont think it's even possible if i leaned onto my own strength (: my mom was like ok la ok good enough.
that we shouldnt exactly demoralise ourselves by saying 4e is the worst class in the A band, i mean like yes we may breed only 1 a1 for physics, but realise that half of the other classes are made up of scholars that WAHA GIVE US AN INFLUX OF GENIUSES WE'LL CHANGE HISTORY. not good for class spirit, not good -shakes head. i like my class this way, CANNOT MEH.
our cohort broke the record for the worst chem results in mg history. that maybe one shouldnt really inflict what one doesnt want on another person, that one person cant really have her cake and eat it, at the expense of others, that one has to be appreciated for one's efforts , no matter what the results. i saw so many things unfold today, i think i just grown a white hair wiser. hope it dawns on you too, one day, somehow. (:
there's nothing much to blog about today just that jun told me that like "oh yu li i might not go hc/ac/jc( HAHA RHYMES) i might consider the poly route" today though just that that's shocking news in itself. going poly crossed my mind too yesterday -recalls hacker aspiration- BUT I THINK I PREFER BEING A LIFEGUARD IN A JC HAHAHAHA.
fear makes you scared, but it doesnt move you to work. and sucks when it has to coupled with EVERYONE'S EXPECTATIONS of you.
but anyway, just surrender everything. (:
sometimes my blog needs an emo post too (:
and that eclipse is not going to hit kino or borders by tomorrow, cos 7 august is us time or sth, yes go study for your prelims instead. there must be a reason why it comes out only after prelims (i bet it's more than a coincidence) neh neh! FOCUS EVERYONE. (:
well so founder's day rehearsal was the boring shizzzzzz. and i realised that subject prize winners get only 20 dollars voucher! school's so stingy it's pathetic.
me: eh jun you know subject prizes you get 20 dollars times voucher only? jun: WHATTTT ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
which really is a very sad case, and it's not even borders, mind you.
after school i went to get my wallet! just as i was walking out of ac i was thinking "wow that was easy." and thought that for once my expedition/field trip will be as smooth as fann wong's skin but NO!
my foot la smooth.
i took 33 in the wrong direction, just when i thought it was going in the direction towards fairfield towards NUH, it went towards NUS and terminated at this freaking ulu terminal!
SERIOUSLY OHMYCOWWWWWWWWWHAT THE BBQ SAUCE HATE ULU PLACES.
but luckily however desolate that place was it had 151 sooo saviour bus took me back to school. ((: ugh major detour wasted my time though.
Lose your sense of direction your life will be as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride. just like mine.
after olevels i'll exercise to generate muscles! heehawwww. [:
but the point of this post is not to let you hear me fuss over my bmi and fats and muscles and what the pe department says, instead, it is to tell you that ALL YOU GUYS HAVE TO READ THE FOLLOWING AND MEMORISE IT! if you arent going for founder's then for once i'll say you're lucky.
“I’ll be there for you.” (edited)
So we all knew that it was gonna be this day. the crossroads reached, from here we’ll go our separate ways. It's like the start of something that’s brand new, but no matter what life brings, you know we’d make it through.
cause, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
We say “homework’s a drag, I wish school began at eight.” But memories, friends and even teachers they’ve been great. Its times like these we see how much that we’ve got, “with loving hearts” come on, everyone sing along.
And, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
MGs a special place we’ll keep in all our hearts though time may pass us by we’d never really be apart. Some things in life you’d always keep with you, “we owe the love we hold to our dear” school that’s true.
It's like the start of something that’s brand new, but no matter what life brings, you know we’d make it through.

everything's in your email i sent it out already! you have 2 options one to master it, to go on strike and tell manda it's impossible haha.
