Y'know how people say it never rains but it pours.My grandma was warded on thursday and the doctors found fluid in her lungs.So they drained it and run some tests and now she's been diagnosed with cancer.They can't really pin point the source but it's most probably from the lungs and maybe the pancreas.My paternal grandmother passed away from cancer of the lungs too.Except I was too young to understand then.I was only about 4 or something and I had no idea what was going on.But now it's different.It feels so surreal.I'm losing so many people in my life all of a sudden.And it's so weird.It's cancer.It's something that happens to somebody else but never yourself.My grandmother's always been so sprightly.I'd never had dreamed that she'd get cancer.
My mother seems to be taking it quite well but I think she's feeling really horrible inside.She keeps almost crying and then stopping herself.I'm not feeling too hot myself.Even though I can't communicate with my grandmother cos she only speaks hokkien I still really love her.Every time I see her she slips me $50.The money's not the point but rather it's the only way she can tell me she loves me because she can't speak English and even if she could,I don't think people of her generation have it in them to say "I love you".
Yup.So i'm feeling rather confused and upset now.Don't know what to do.


My favourite uncle's going to Canada tonight.He's not coming back to visit till 2008.And who knows when'll be the next time he visits after that.
I'm feeling so constipated.

Family Ties
Unknown Author
Family Ties Are precious things
Woven through the years,
of laughter, love and tears.

Family ties are cherished things
forged in childhood days,
by love of parents deep and true,
by tradition, by family ways.
Family ties are treasured things
and far though we may roam,
the tender bonds with those we love
still pull our hearts toward home.

I feel like bawling.But I cant.


Hey if any of you guys know how to do question 3 of physics worksheet 2-8 on boyle's law can you email me or something.I spent the last 24 hours thinking about it and I've come up with 3 different theories and 3 different answers which are most probably wrong anyway.
I'll post the question here anyway.
The mercury in a barometer of a cross sectional area of 1 cm2 stands at 75cm, and the space above it is 9cm. What volume of air,measured at atmospheric pressure, would have to be admitted into the space to cause the column of mercury to drop to 59cm?
I got 3.52 cm3,2.36 m3 and 15149.3 m3.Damn pissed off.


I feel so stupid to be posting at a time like this.Practically everybody has started shunning their blogs but whatever.
Haven't been doing much work this weekend except for going for 2 tuition classes yesterday.Met VERA SHAW at jiang and she was 15 minutes late.She said she'd been walking around on the 5th floor looking for the classroom when it was on the 4th floor.Haha.Funny girl.
My Uncle's leaving for Canada on the 29th of Sept and my cousins are going on the 30th of October.I really wanted to send my Uncle off but his flight's at 4 am or something and it's LA and Jap exam day.Sheez.I know I've mentioned this like a million times but how can you say goodbye to someone who's known you all your life and grown up with you?Especially once Natalie goes she won't be coming back to visit till Chinese New Year in 2008 and even that's not confirmed since Canadians obviously don't celebrate CNY and school's still on over there in February.At least Nick'll stick around till after JC but it won't be the foursome anymore.Went to their house for a farewell party for my Uncle yesterday and the house was so empty and there were numbered and labeled boxes everwhere which made me feel even worse.
ARGH.The frustration's killing me.


I used to leave bits of rubbish under my desk at moelc like food packages and plastic bags and stuff and one day some prissy girl/guy/thing/freak/alien left me a note on a vomit yellow coloured piece of post it telling me not to litter.Er.Ok.Right.And I suppose leaving bits of paper around doesnt qualify as littering.But whatever.Being the kind thoughtful soul that I am,I stopped my 'littering' for a good few months.Then on monday I accidentally left a biscuit wrapper under the desk.I swear to god I had fully intended to throw it away,but I was having a terrible headache and the thought slipped my mortal mind.Then today when i went back I found 2 pieces of vomit yellow post its on my desk again.I can't remember what the first one read but everything was written in caps,causing me to infer that the prissy girl/guy/thing/freak/alien was highly agitated.Anyway the 2nd piece of post it said "YOU GOT TAKE CME OR NOT!DON'T LITTER!" I had absolutely no idea that girls/guys/things/freaks/aliens out there actually took CME seriously!I should feel so ashamed.*Bad Prongs!Bad Prongs!* *slaps self*
Gosh.What a retard.
Firstly,who the hell cares about CME?!Don't you know it is merely a form of propoganda by the education board to try and trick our feeble young minds into believing it is a perfect world out there,where people help little old ladies across the litle clean street,where Daddies love Mummies who love their children and the Singa Lion will descend upon us in a shower of flowers and singing children?Would you grow up?
Secondly,YOU GOT TAKE ENGLISH OR NOT!I certainly take CME classes,thanks very much for your concern,though they certainly seem to be as ineffective as your English lessons.#1)There is no 'got take'.You take 3rd language lessons at MOELC.One day,you were rather taken aback to find a large amount of rubbish under your desk and thus took the responsibility to admonish the culprit.The MOELC was elated that one of their students had taken up such an ornerous task out of the goodness of her/his/its heart and awarded her/him/it with the TWIT (ToWards Immaculate Tables) award.#2)Despite you horrendous grammar,I have managed to decipher your well meaning message and it turns out that your first sentence is actually a question.Oooh..."What's that?" you ask.A question is a form of expression that requests an answer from somebody.In cases like this,we punctuate the end of the sentence with a question mark.This peculiar little sign looks like a circle drawn 3/4 way,with a short stroke downwards and a little dot below that.Congratulations!You have just completed English 101!To sign up for the intermediate course,please fill in the registration form at our front desk and remember to indicate that you prefer your afternoon milk in a normal cup,unlike our other applicants who are still rather attatched to their milk bottles.
Lastly,thank you for your kind,patient teachings,for being there to push me back in when I fall out of line,for spreading peace,joy and goodwill among men but I live by my own rules,thanks.
Hmm...I have no idea why I wrote that long post,since there's a one in a gazillion chance that Little Miss/Mister Prissy would come across my blog but it was rather fun.Oh well...Just for kicks.


i hate myself.i should be studying now but im blogging instead.im such a twit.im so completely,utterly,irrevocably,incurably lazy.im probably going to fail the math eoy and i'll be kicked out of ip which would be a tight slap across my deserving face.
it's almost the end of the year...time to do some soul searching.so please do my nohari and johari windows ppl!and pls give me your honest opinion.

had flu jab today.er...dont know why peeps like leeqi and vera and lisyn kept screaming and complaining about the pain.it's not painful AT ALL.in fact i hardly felt anything.just felt like there was something on my skin and it was over.it's the most painless injection ive ever had :) mum and dad made me get a flu jab before going to america last year and that was almost twice as painful as this one.so yeah.STOP COMPLAINING PEOPLE :P
today's math lesson was SO BORING...god.i nearly went out of my mind.i did actually.i started singing 99 green bottles and yehui and sicheng got so irritated with me.they were rather immune to it at first but sicheng got fed up at around 80 bottles and by 50 bottles yehui was almost screaming at me to shut up.it's really interesting to watch their reactions cos one part of them tells them if they hear another bottle falling off the wall they'd strangle me and yet another part tells them every round is one less bottle closer to 0.so you can really mess with their minds.and they were really good entertainment :D laughed my head off at them.sicheng was practically freaking out.and when the last bottle finally fell off the wall i started singing the never ending song from the muppets which they were also rather immune to in the beginning.they were probably pretty glad at the change of song but they couldnt stand it after around the 10th repitition.cant remember when i finally stopped but then after that i sang on top of spaghetti and a few rounds of john jacob jingle heimer schmitt.
I suppose i should apologise for making them suffer for 1 1/2 hours.but hey it was either me or them.kidding... :P

"This is the song that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was
And they'll continue singing it forever just because

Jap oral was horrible.first,the waiting.the stupid teachers went into overtime and though im supposed to report at 4.00 and finish latest by 4.30,i only went into the room and 4.50.god...the wait itself was so exahausting i felt half dead when i went in.and then during the convo part i spouted stupid non existent sentence structures and instead of saying eigo no hon (english books) i said eiGA no hon (movie books.yes i know it doesnt make sense).wth.totally blanked out.ARGH.i feel so drained.


i got B3 for chem.dont know if i should be happy or not but im definitely thankful cos ive been slacking off alot.thought i'd get a C or D.oh well.i'll try harder next year.gonna be a straight A student next year :D
ARGH.just got back jap paper.passed but didnt do well at all :( bloody hell.
fausty says at least there's still EOYs.not a particularly comforting thought.

Man I'm so sick of this insomnia thing.GAH.I'm so tired...But I can't sleep.Every night is an inescapable bout of mental and physical torture for me.I swear I've tried everything.Every sleeping position,I've counted sheep,I don't take naps during the day,I've tried the 'close-your-eyes-and-don't-move',the 'just-stay-in-bed-and-you'll-nod-off'.That last one's worst of all.It just gives me a headache.
Hm.Staying up late makes me think too much.
So...there's not much of the holiday left.I suppose there wasn't much of it to begin with,though I can't say the same for the workload...I've hardly revised anything I think.Holidays aren't good for me,they just make me procrastinate.On school days on the other hand,I'll be trying to make use of every spare second I have to squeeze some obscure physics equation into my brain.2 weeks from now I'm gonna look back on this week and regret it.
We never miss the water till it's gone.


Singapore dreaming's a pretty good film :) Don't go in expecting any Jack Neo antics though.A bit draggy in the front and a whole lotta people who can't chill and go screaming like headless chickens in the middle.But you really empathise with them.Dreaming about the typical 5 Cs.Oh and there was one part some random Mum says to her young kid:"I heard Jeremy got 100 for his spelling.How come you only got 95?Next time how to get into NANYANG PRIMARY?" HAHA.Well...I guess it's nice to know that your alma mater is...er...appreciated...Come to think of it I kinda miss that place.Haven't been back in a while.I suppose when you look back you realise it wasn't such a bad place afterall.
Yeah anyway,bought popcorn and this HUGE tub of blue cotton candy from the concession stand.And I'm having a slight headache now so I think I'm on a sugar and sodium high.

I really want to talk to Steve Irwin.I wanna tell him he rocks and he'll always be my special hero and may he rest in peace.
I have low tolerance for intolerance.HAHA.Kidding.general stupidity.


OMG.OMBFG.STEVE IRWIN IS DEAD.BLOODY HELL.OM*&^%$G.
wth.i cant believe it.and he was only 44 years old.oh my god.ive been watching him on tv since i was a young kid and now he's gone.oh man.when you watched him on tv,he seemed almost invincible.he could do everything.crocs and snakes and all.oh my god i nearly got a heart attack when my sis told me.he got stung by a stingray.i seriously cant believe he's dead.after seeing him wrestle crocodiles and tangle with venomous snakes and get away with it all,it just strikes me how human he really was and how fragile life is.in a split second tv lost one of it's greatest personalities,a woman lost her husband,2 young kids lost their dad
and i lost my hero.



today has been a fantastic day :) woke up at 10.30 while the rest of my family just went on dozing in bed which means i was able to hog the papers and read them in peace which always makes me happy :) watched child star confidential on e! which is the crappiest,most entertaining channel in the world.then we had my mum's wonderful tau you bak and lor neng for brunch just the way i like it with sauce dribbled all over the yolk.then i surfed the net,played games on the com,studied jap,considered napping and then my mum came and dragged us all to the botanic gardens for some exercise.walked around the entire botanic gardens.so i managed to work up a pretty good appetite for dinner at the taman serasi food court which is a ridiculously overpriced tourist gimmick but whatever.as long as there's bak chor mee :D and the coffee's pretty good as well.better than some coffee shops.then came home to have the longest,hottest bath of my life before curling up on my bed with a good book and the computer blasting love songs.i swear ive never felt more clam and at peace with the universe.and the best part is i dont feel guilty at all for not studying :)


yesterday was slightly more fun than what i anticipated.the food at the class party was...er.well.sparse.but oh well.no one ate much anyway.and i didnt know i had it in me to win musical chairs.i dont think ive ever won a single game of musical chairs since i was a kid.but the forfeit wa genius man.i loved those frogs.they were so cute.i really wanted to take a couple home but the last time my sis brought hamsters home without permission my mum screamed so i figured she'd get a heart attack if she saw frogs.and i dont have any place to house them anyway.and finding food for them will be a problem.but when i get a garden im definitely gonna put a couple of frogs in the pond.
the celebration was quite fun too.but the 108 dance for we're all in this together was so disappointing.especially the wildcats part.that was just wasted on them.wth.the fastest nicest part of the song and all they do is walk around.and the chorus part sucked too!we can do so much better!!ARGH.bloody unfair.just because we didnt have enough people at the audition.have this bu4 gan1 yuan4 feeling.we didnt do justice to vanda's fantastic dance :( but other than that it was alright.the local delight uncle and aunty were hilarious man.they were so cool!seeing old people dance always managed to amuse me.
after the celebrations i went to the nz adventure programme talk.68 of us split into 7 groups and i'm not with eunice sera jacqueline miaoran leeqi or chen xi.what are the odds,i ask you??bloody hell.a few recognisable people like ariel chaiping and jasmine in my group.but i really did hope to be in the same group as sera at least.
why do so many weirdo freaks from china keep adding me to their msn contact list?!ok.that sounded quite prejudiced.ive nothing against their being from china.but i just keep getting invites and they keep asking me to go to some stupid msn group or something like that.and i keep seeing pictures of girls with long hair and who dont get anough sunshine.it's not porn or anything.just pictures on some msn thingum.i dont even know you spazzes.ive blocked like 10 of them already.
ok that was very random.i know.but they're really starting to annoy me.

When I hear my favorite song
I know where we belong
Oh you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me
