cos i felt like running (strangely enuff) on friday so i went down to the athletics centre but the track was being used so i had to use the dumb treadmill in the workout room. bah.
den i was trying to change the song? but the dumb earphone wire got stuck somehow around my arm and it got all tangled and twisted and it fell and bounced of the side of the tread mill and fell on the floor! =(( poor thing. haha and i couldn't stop running or else i wouldn't be able to start again (cos im weird like that lol) so i din even get to use the ipod and i brought it for nothing except to drop it. sigh haha
oh and the time before that. (like the first time i used e treadmill_) i nearly fell off the dumb thing haha it's so hard to balance okay, seriously.hahah i finally got used to it tho and it's okay now if i don't think about where my feet are or look down. haha but when i get off i still almost fall over cos i feellike im floating*. haha
thank you very much, now.

guess what! the house next to us had a FIRE. =l ( and no, im not sounding excited. i couldn't decide if i should put "guess what!" or "guess what." -- but then i decided that guess what. would sound like i don't care about it at all when i do! lol. anyway, moving on._ ) for some reason tho, im not as paranoid as i thot i'd be. lol like normally when these sorta things happen i get all extra-cautious (lol) but for some reason this time im not as. mabbe the shock of it all hasn't -sunk- in. possibly cos we weren't home when the fire started (apparently the children were playing with matchsticks in the basement. -- tsktsk. there's a lesson to be learnt here.lol)
we were up in charlottesville when all this excitement happened. (not that im happy it happened-just that it's not everyday u see a house catch fire..u noe wat i mean.lol) it was a really boring place. honest. haha my mum dragged us all up there cos she wanted to see the monticello (aka the place thomas jefferson *a president* lived) well okay, i guess that was kinda okay. if u dun include the fact our tour guide wasn't exactly the most..energetic..of sorts. lol but alrite that was okay. but that only look like mabbe an hour of our time and after that we din noe where to go/what to do. haha. and the drive up there was about 3hrs pls. =.- lol anyway we decided to walk around UVA (university of virginia) but we couldn't go in the buildings so we just wandering the grounds for like 15 mins and had nothing to do again so we had a cup of coffee and went home. hahah. what a sad trip.. it made me sad too, for some reason. even now thinking about it im sad =( haha whatever, gill. lol
anyway -- we din have skl yesterday cos it was martin luther king jr day. yay. lol he's like one of the only american heros i noe. haha go me. =)) lol and we din have skl today cos there's smth goin on in ncs. but unfortunately, there wasn't reason enough to close skl the entire week, like i hoped. haha so i hafta go back to that dreadful place to stuff more knowledge into my already-exploding head. heh. at least im looking forward to dance. haha but nothing else, really.. lol how sad. and im really really
jealous whenever i read about ij =(( i wanna be there
so bad! bah. fine. haha sighs alrights.
im gonna go psych myself into thinking skl's not so bad. lol
ta!
no,no,no,no baby no,no,no,no don't lie.i don't wanna be lonely no more -- i don't wanna have to pay for this.
thank you very much, now.

waaah. im scared =(
the wind here is really scary.
HAHA
but no, seriously!
cos my room is like at the corner of the house and there's this huge tree right outside my window and these winds are seriously strong. i heard the tree knocking against my bedroom wall last nite and i was like " omg omg don't let the tree come crashing thru the roof on me" hahaha not to mention my windows like.. not shattering but making weird noises. and the wind is soo strong i can hear it like.. eee. haha
im SCARED!!
it sounds almost like a tornado. haha! ok mabbe im exaggerating a teensy bit.
but it IS way scary okay. *sticks out tongue. bah. haha
thank you very much, now.
exams are OVER!!
grins!! im soo happy. haha
i finally got my hair cut too!
okok so mabbe it looks like..almost exactly the same. hahah.
but i have a shorter-kind-a fringe. haha
and i dunno what she did. but my hair's so ..PUFFY again. i think it's cos she blow dried it. so hopefully it'll like. flatten out after i sleep in bed awhile tonight. haha
and i finally saw memoirs of a geisha!
watanabe!! haha i luv saying his name. haha watanabe. watanabe. watanabe.
haha sorta like my obsession with swathi's name!
( i luuuuv her name! it's so cool! swathi eswaramuthi!) lol
anyhoo. i have visibly suffered from my exams.
my face is breaking out. =( *hides. haha
i sound like some bimbo. haha
"like, whuteeva.." lol
anyway im back to my hair *haa.
i didn't dye it in the end cos i wasn't sure what colour to get..
but the nice lady told me about this 'beige' thing
and at first i was like "beige..?:S" haha den she said it's not the colour beige.
but it's like. in some lights it looks red and in other lights it looks brown.
which is precisely what i want! but i just assumed it wasn't possible and that i had to choose between red and brown. HEH. im so happy. haha so now i wanna go back and dye it soon haha=P
oh and i just got this facebook account on wed. sigh all this 'peer pressure' nonsense. haha
it's like the american version of frenster la. it actually started for college students. but now it's spread to high skls. la. but i only have like 46 contacts. i feel so pathetic. haha and i hav elike.. 8 testis. =l lol
hokie pokie.
im gonna go slack now. haha
ta!
thank you very much, now.
well if anyone actually reads my blog faithfully, u'll realize that this's like e 3rd time im breaking my vow about not blogging til the end of exams. haha but shuush! hu cares. haha
i'm resigned to fate (as ms shanthi says) that im going to fail my maths to i've decided not to stress til thurs nite. haha!
anyway about geog and eng exams.
well geog was on mon. and it was seeriously funny okay. hahah
as in the paper.. i still think i failed, which is nOt funny. but like at the bottom of every MCQ page they put like a joke? hahah and it was sooo corny i almost burst out laughing in the middle of the exam. hahah a few ppl did actually. it was kinda distracting at first becos i was so stressed out i din even realize there were jokes haha until later i saw
Q : "Which is smarter, longitude or latitude?"
A : "Longitude. becos it has 360 degrees. "
HAHA i was like fighting so hard not to laugh until i almost teared. hahah. the jokes were really corny la. and then like, halfway thru the geog mcqs, there was suddenly this question.
"In comparison to a proton, what is an electron?"
a) similarly charged with a smaller mass
b) oppositely charged with a smaller mass
c) oppositely charged with a larger mass
d) i don't need to know this until thursday.
haha. i was soo tempted to put d okay. haha but i thot mabbe they'd give extra points if i showed i studied in advance (haha.) so i put the rite ans la. lol but it was so weird okay. i must've read the qn like 4 times before i trusted my eyes. haha
sigh and we had an eng exam today. not v gd. haha it was even tougher than geog, if u can imagine. haha i never studied for eng so hard in my life okay! i had problems with grammar. =(( sob and i think my essay went a bit the out of point. haha but. hopefully if i doo reaaallly badly it might not affect like..thaat much. haha hopefully. i stress. cos like the exam's only 20% of total grade. so. *crosses fingers. haha
(small disgression..)
-i luuvv blessid union of souls!!- Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understoodThat there's a time to draw the line when things are going goodBut you just kept on giving beyond the call of loveAnd he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of your heartLike that part that made you giveAnd the part that made you weakWhen he would softly kiss youAnd tell you that he missed youI know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say is trueBut it's not the end of the worldIt's not the end of the lineYou know there's more to loveYou know there's more to lifeAnd I know there's more to youWell I can't help but think about you in the middle of the nightI know it's kinda lonely but you have to win this fightI just wish that I could hold you and tell you it's allrightBut it's not the end of the world
and i keep hearing about the new ij building!
and im SO upset.
i must've paid for at least like, half a bench and 1cm2 worth of paint and probably even some whiteboard markers/chalk (what're they using?). not to mention some of the air coming out of the air con. and now i dun even get to sit on tt half a bench or admire that square of paint or play with chalk or breathe the air! =(( haha mabbe tt's going a bit far. but im still jealous!! *bah.

hello! New York was really.. i dunno how to describe haha
anyway on new year's nite my sis was sick ( prob cos of all the travelling and stuff )
so it just ended up as my mum and dad and i again ( boredom. haha ) but anyway we were planning to go to Central Park to see the fireworks, thinking we were being clever by avoiding the crowd at Times Square. haha but guess again. We obivously made our way to the wrong place cos we ended up squashed at the back of the crowd at like the edge of central park which was down the street from Times Square so we could still actually see the ball. a bit. haha it was about 1cm in diameter from where we were.haha but there was this big screen anyway so we just stood at the back (being pushed) and waited for like 2 hrs to see this ball of lights roll down a pole. ( excitingness.. ) i was honestly bored. haha i din think it was anywhere near as worth as the 7hrs we spent at harry potter and the crowd was way worse. haha well it was about what, 4 mins or less worth of excitement and i was actually not really excited at all cos i had frostbite in my toes and my butt. it wasn't exactly the most happiest of new year's but oh well. haha i managed to get a couple of pics on my cam but i ran outta memory =.- sigh so i spent my first few seconds of the new year fiddling with my stupid camera. hahah anyway so we just went home after that and i fell asleep. haha okies i betta go now. i have this strange feeling i have a jap test tmrw but im not sure. haha but i reaally don't feel like studying. =l haha okie bye!
happy new year! =))
sheesh im old. im sec 4?! (in s'porean terms)
ack.
thank you very much, now.
