Ju's stupid Dog

My friend has a stupid dog. Take note that I say stupid in an endearing way. Her little silky terrier is this bouncing (literally) furball. You know, kind of like putty covered in long silky hair? Yep, that's Suki. Haha, I've never seen soooo much energy in a living creature! This little fella actually BOUNCED behind me from across the living room to my friend's room! It was pretty hilarious, perhaps Suki's experiencing some sort of identity crisis, unsure of whether it should have been born with longer, fluffier ears and a shorter, poofier tail. Haha... That's dog is really one hell of a jumper! But I must say its really adorable. It's innocent stupidity is what makes a dog a dog. However I just recalled that this silly dog also drooled all over my sock and almost put holes in it, I think I should have just given it to her as a parting gift.

here, I managed to steal a photograph of it from friendster! [Tell me if you don't want your dog displayed ju!]

Awww. She's adorable ain't she. However she really is amazingly dumb at times, haha, kind of like a bimbo dog. =)

Ah! My strings have been snapping like nobody's business, first it was my electric's E string, which isn't so bad since I have a spare pack of strings. Now my cello's A string snapped! And this stupid string costs like 40 bucks? might as well gold plate it la...

Argh. And not to mention my double bassist who keeps breaking G strings and whatever wires he has on the double bass. Never before have I seen such a weak instrument.

Stupid.

Hua Yu Cool! >.<

Jing ran wo men de hua yu kao shi kuai yao dao le, wo jiu jue ding ba jing tian yong han you pin yin lai xie wo de 'post'.

Haha, kidding. You'd have to pay me a million bucks for me to continue! I don't abhore Mandarin, I'd be lying if I said I did because for one, I'm serving in a Chinese Ministry. Secondly, I'm in the Chinese Orchestra, so how can I say I hate Chinese when I've chosen to be constantly surrounded by it? Well, not really chose, having Mandarin lessons 4 days a week definitely isn't my choice.

I actually envy those who are extremely well-versed in Mandarin and I really do feel embarresed when I'm unable to articulate myself properly in the language. Honestly, there is nothing to be proud of if you take CLB or are 'suck' at Mandarin. We are afterall, Chinese and should be proud of our language.

It's not a matter of English being a supposedly more 'high class' language, being English-educated doesn't necessarily put you at the top of the food chain. Why there are plenty of people who come from decent and even admirable Chinese backgrounds. Mandarin just happens to be their first language. I often find myself nit-picking at people's pronounciation and usage of the English Language. Soon I find myself trying to hide my own terrible pronounciation and erroneous usage of Mandarin.

Here's the main point, being inarticulate and incompetant in ANY language is nothing to be proud of. If you want to use it, use it well and don't flaunt what you don't have.

And no this entry isn't directed at anyone. =) CHingchingchCHingCHing!!

The Class of 2007

All right by request of Ow Yong Feifei I shall start rambling some nonsense. Haha, I'm still pretty upset about not being able to score with English. I think I'll really go to China. All right, bring on the Cheena Princes!!

Anyways, as you can see from the title, I shall dedicate this wordy entry to the people who surround me daily - SB6. I initially started out being rather pensive about this new group of people whom I would spend most of my time with. Initial polite nuances and the occasional awkwardness ensued. But week after week, month after month, you learn to accept and love the people for who they are, not who you want them to be. Nobody conforms but simply adapts, (as one of my classmates says) I think that's the beauty of it, that people of such different upbringings and personalities can all accept and have fun with one another. Imagine if there was a class of 25 you's. Urgh, how boring life would be.

So this has been one hell of a week, it was a week full of ups and downs. Downs obviously due to the fact that the WR was due this week and a certain MEMBER in my group proved to be EXTREMELY uncooperative. (I bet my blood pressure spiked several times this week) Plus the ominous looming of our results. (ACJC insisted on releasing ALL our results only at 1430 on Friday) The haze was a mood killer as well, considering that two thirds of our time spent in school was spent rotting in the void deck/cafe/anywhere-else-but-classrooms-and-LTs, (you see the 'pon' spirit is one of the strongest school spirits in AC, haha)

Despite all that, I was still able to find the rose amongst the thorns, the glimmer amidst the darkness, the olive branch amid the tremulous waves... you get the idea. This was, of course, the company of my classmates! I had been pining to Mings and feifei a couple of weeks back that the class wasn't communicating and bonding. Everyone was busy with their own study schedules and were hence left with little or no time or topic to talk about. Life became SERIOUSLY dead. Everyone simply said their 'hi s' and 'byes' and moved on with their struggle with centripetal force and Social Efficiency. I have to say that AC games did a lot for the class. So did the 'communal' rush for PW this week and the long hours spent playing bridge. One can learn a lot through playing cards ok, its important to understand BeHAviOurAL patturns!

It was a bad week, but the shortened bonds between the mates have made all that crap I went through the whole week worthwhile. =) Priceless (as quoted from our ex-Student Council Pres)

Look at our levitations man...

Rock on SB6, no, I shan't label you guys, its an understatement, Rock on you special people you! haha... I love my class, at least we don't have noisy buggers like those inthe next class, or angmoh poseurs from uh-um! certain schools. Yea, we have great balance.

Go Korea Go!

All right this may seem like I have abundant amounts of time to update on the tiniest things, but THIS I have to share with the rest of the world. Some of you may remember the couple of cuckoo Korean Girls on youtube (The ones that had me cracking up like an escape IMH patient each time I saw them) Thinking that it couldn't get any funnier, my cousin just introduced a couple of similar guys. LAUGHING IS THERAPUTIC!! >.< Haha!! And hey guess what, they're friends of my cousin! haha, I think it's more hilarious when you watch people you sort of know doing stupid things on youtube, it humanizes them in some sense. You know that this kind of insanity and ridicule really exist and you're not the only one doing stuff like that in front of your bedroom mirror!

I so love youtube man. Endless entertainment, whatsmore, its free.

Love of my life

There he is. I haven't showed you guys any photographs yet right? But this hunk of expensive, varnished, exquisite, fine-sounding wood is mine. yes mine. Now I'm so not going to die and let any of you have it! Muahaha!! MY lousy camera isn't working and hence I am unable to conduct a photoshoot for him as yet. but trust me, he looks better in real life. Whoo.

Death

This is going to be apretty dreary post despite me ending my promotional examinations yesterday. Obviusly it wasn't a very good end for me, in my whole 3 years of being a science student, my major examinations have always somehow ended with Chemistry, which is a Science I have little confidence in. It started with the swaying ego of my Chem teacher in secondary school. His sexist and egotistical remarks put me off Chemistry quite a bit. So unlike the Chemistry teachers I hear about who engage the students with endless encouragement and fun tidbits, Bak-ar simply shot down any questions which reached beyond the sec 4 syllabus. Moron.

Anyways, that's not the point, I've been wanting to talk about this for a pretty long time but simply never had the pleasure to do so. I've seen so many people die so suddenly and quickly. I even dreamt of someone(I think it was Cynthia Koh) dying yesterday. It was a pretty nasty and depressing dream. Anyways, there was Steve Irwin, a Hildan, another young secondary school kid, my mom's old client.. I probably encountered these deaths on a weekly basis! All of them had one thing in common, the fact that there were no warning signs and that they happened to extremely normal people. It's one minute you're here and the next you're in a wooden box piled with makeup and with chemicals coursing, well, not really coursing, through your veins. I wondered too how life would proceed on should I suddenly die.

Anyways, should I have the unfortunate event of doing so, I came up with my own little will since I'm underage of making a will and my mum's too busy to get one done for me(haha).

The living will and testement of ME

All text books, TYSs, guidebooks etc will go to the school's student welfare section.

All other books I have can be shared amongst Shiyun and the bunch. (you people need to be educated about the brain! hehe)

MY electric guitar will go to the church, the acoustics... man, I can't bear to leave my Ovation, but fine, they'll go to Aiping and Mings who supposedly wants to learn the guitar after Promos.

Cello, it can go to Anli who's cello absurdly got stolen.

All the stuff in the topmost shelf of my white cupboard can go to Nat, she LOVES toys. :D

And all the stuff in the bottom drawers to Cons! Haha...

Ooh! My clothes! (Which aren't much by the way) Ah, have a jumble sale and give the proceeds to my mummy.Hmm, of course my sister can raid and take whatever fits her first.

And of course my diaries.. Hmm... Publish them and I'll be famous like Anne Frank! Only It'll be 'Cuiwen, the Diary of a spoilt Singaporean girl'.

All right you people, aren't you glad you're included in my will? Huh? Huh? Haha... Now, now please, no plans to annihilate me ok!

All right, so by the requests of cerain PERSONS, (haha) I am obliged to add in a few more things so that the one miles away won't die of loneliness and the one I'm going to see in a couple of days won't kill me when she sees me then.

All the softtoys which belong to me can go to Dhabitah, I know she specifically likes stuffed poohs, but I've only got stuffed other stuff, but hey, there sure are a lot of them ok!

And my new, still unopened wall mirror from IKEA can go to Annie since she's such a Narcissist and simply can't take her eyes off herself, haha.. Oh yes dear, you can raid the CDs and MP3s too, haha.. although I've practically burnt half of them for you already, =)

And how can I forget all the gaudy 'costume jewellery' I have! They can be shared amongst the girls now, now, no snatching! Haha..

you know after making this list, I realise I don't really have much besides my gorgeous babies hanging on my walls. Hmm... Aren't I low maintainance? *Grin*

HTML ignorant!

All right people, excuse my futile efforts to put up a sound clip of Nathan Hartono that resulted in a pretty disfigured blog. Hey, at least I've got it uploaded ok. So stop complaining and simple scroll to the end of the page and click on the tiny triangle which will allow a wave of soothing and oh so charming vocal chords to ring at you.

Oh my, it's a crime to allow such a young boy to charm girls off their feet. Ooh!! Sadly I think he's an AC buy, and we all know what kind of ego that packs in. heh..

Ah, I just realised that you can't play it straight from my blog, so I'll just give you the URL
