instead, i hope they wind up on the streets, begging for food and a chance at survival. may the sky rain toads on you, may your face be disfigured, may your life be one of misery and sorrow. may lightning strike you, may you fall down the stairs. may you never succeed in anything. may you live a pitiful existance. may your brains rot and the knowledge you've taken so long to learn whittle away. may your tongue be cut off, may your fingers be chopped off. acursed one!
there. haha. serves that crazy person right. i'm nice to nette. she's nice to me. so there!

the whole oral thing was rather scary. or was it because i didn't have much faith in myself? i couldnt really answer the question well, or so i think. i say that only because i dun know what mrs. tian thinks. i really hope they give us our marks, thou i doubt that. especially since i described the picture very well. er, at least i think so. but i couldnt really pronouce "gesticulating".

went to amazon.com to check out the book by ramsland katherine. it's an analysis of anne rice's vampire chronicles. at least she seemed to have written an analysis of the mayfair witches too, but who cares since i dun read that. the analysis covers books 1 to 5. including memnoch the devil. it's pretty good. i intend to go to kino and try to look for it there. if it's good, then i'll fork out the most prob 30++ bucks for it. i am not obsessed with the vampire chronicles. just in case u're wondering. coz i think i might be... since i've started reading the vampire armand. and it continued on. actually, i think I"M obsessed. since i'm going around and trying to find the interview with the vampire, a movie adapted by the book. or something like that. i watched it a while back, quite a while back, and i wasn't really into the whole thing. so now i'm trying to get the vcd.... tom cruise and brad pitt act in it... and i think the vcd might be hard to find, since the movie was produced in 1994.

You are Diet Coke with a twist of lemon. You are
crazy!!! You like doing strange things and you
laugh a lot. You probably hang out with people
who are either completely different to you or
you and all your friends turn up to school in
your pyjamas. You are very funny.
What type of coke are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
well, nette, was reading your blog and i felt...... sad. strange how your personality sorta radiates out and makes people feel your emotions at that point. or perhaps it's just me. but well, just to let you know that you can always count on me too!
i wonder how people view me in general? like, funny? depressed? or wad? if people see me as happy or the time, they better watch it. i swear there's something wrong with you. but then again, if everyone views me as violent, then. there's nothing i can say. you obviously didn't get the real me. me? i view myself as a puzzle. something i myself cant even figure out. advice from me is freely given, it just has to be asked. just like with help. i'm not the kind who would laugh at a person's fears as i have fears too. but yet, i feel as though i have to ask people to share their problems with me. y should i have to ask? dun they know that i care about them too? and y does sonya alway think that i'm depressed whenever i call her? of course, pillay, no offence. but i know why u get the feeling that i'm sad. i sound sad. hence...
it makes me feel appeaciated when people share things with me. it's not sheer curiousity. it goes further than that. i know that people might not want to share everything, but it makes me feel as if they dun trust me as much as i trust them with my problems. this thinking is rather screwed too since i know that some people just dun want to share, and i shouldn't harp on it. it's just how it makes me feel.
it's in chinese, so forgive me since i've got to translate it since some ppl's computer cant have chinese words. it sounds so much better in chinese thou. XP (actually, i dun think i need this list to find out if i'm love with whoever.) but then again, it's just nice. no more comments
8 ways to find out if you're in love. (this is like for people who like someone but well, haven gotten together yet) otherwise, it just wouldn't apply
1. you keep your handphone on even when you're busy, just waiting for him to call. you're in love
2. you like walking with him alone, doing anything. you're in love
3.when you're with him, you'll look at him like you're not trying to. when he leaves your line of vision, you'll look for him. you're in love.
4. when he's sick or feeling unhappy, you'll feel care and concern for him. you're in love
5. when he's close to someone else, you'll feel jealous. you're in love
6. when he puts his face close to yours, and your heart starts beating fast, you're in love
7. when you see his smile, you'll smile too. you're in love
8. when you started reading this and thought about him, you're in love.
and well, for me? let's just leave it as... ...

Today I watched in silence
As people passed me by
And I strained to see if there was something
Hidden in their eyes
But they all looked back at me as if to say,
"Life just goes on.."
The old familiar story
Told in different ways,
"Make the most of your own journey
From the cradle to the grave
Dream your dreams tomorrow
Because today
Life must go on.."
(chorus)
Oh, and there's more to this life
Than living and dying
More than just trying to make it through the day
More to this life
More than these eyes alone can see
And there's more
Than this life alone for me
He takes care of his family
He takes care of his work
And every Sunday morning
He takes his place at the church
But sometimes he still feels the need to search
"Life just goes on.."
At night he lies in silence
Staring into space
Looks for ways to make tomorrow
Better than today
But in the morning light
He looks to say,
"Life must go on.."
(chorus)
Where do we start
To find every part
Of what makes this life complete?
If we turn our eyes
To Jesus we'll find
Life's true beginning
Is there at the cross
Where he died
Where he died
(chorus)
And there's more
To this life
Than living and dying
More than just trying to make it through the day
More to this life
More than these eyes alone can see
i much prefer this kind of worship to that of the adult one, where everyone's so solemn and stuff... no one jumping up and down and clapping and praising God. (after all, they are OLD people, meaning my parents). cant understand why i took so long to go back to the youth service. lazy going home myself i think. coz i really cant picture my parents enjoying themselves at the youth service even if it is open to everyone. not that they wouldn't really like it, but it's just that i dun think they'll be used to that kind of enegetic worship. they went once, and had to stand at the back since the band was way loud... wahahaha... old foggies... *laughs*
and i wonder why i'm not panicking and studying. something's wrong
Saturday, July 12, 2003

*bouncy*
tomorrow's the youth service youth thingy... hope basilia can wake up <-- she's always such a sleep head. :P and grace has better not be late...
CO had their SYF today... wonder if they'll get the gold?

i think i'm starting to crack up under the strain of the tests. day in, day out. and i know i'm not the only one. hmm, rather old news this, but i got quite high for my eng compo mock. 33/40... and i was pretty surprised, come to think of it, i was shocked. after all, ms heng never gave me more than 28? i think that was the highest. so anyway, i'm going to type my essay here... just in case i lose the bloody thing. the title's water, i have to write an essay on water. after this, i'm going to write an essay about fire... when i'm free that is. pardon any mistakes in spelling or grammer... me is going to type quickly.
water
water. the source of life, the very thing that sustains the human body. no one really knows and understands the need for that percious substance until it is denied from us. the teenager sitting close to the wall in the corner of the darkened room was beginning to understand water's significance.
he could not move. frost lay there, near the air vent, his arms and legs bound together, tied to a water pipe. his thirst beginning to grow, he stifled a groan. he could not see, it had taken his eyes a while to get used to the darkness of the room in which he was imprisoned. frost looked around and gave a hollowed laugh that echoed arounf the entire room. no surprise there, as the room was a bathroom and extremely small and cramped. he felt rather claustrophobic.
he tried wetting his lips but his mouth was too dry. the "drip drip" of the water coming out of the tap that had not been closed properly made his predicument all the more unbearable. his hands strained forward, trying unsuccessfully to get a drop of the water. of course it was impossible, he was too far away.
footsteps echoed in the hallway, soft, but deadly. they stopped outside the door. keys jangled. there was a click, and the door swung open, revealing the beady eyes of frost's boss. the light was oin, and the boy blinked in the suddeness of being able to see again. for a few minutes, all was silent, only the thumping of frost's heart could be heard. then, the boss spoke.
"this is all your fault, you know. you only have yourself to blame. i warned you, boy. i did. curiousity kills the cat, and that is exactly what will happen to you. meddling in my affairs, for what? trying to prove something? fat chance!" the tirade went on. his boss grew hysterical, his voice reaching a feverish pitch. it seemed as though he was coming apart at the seams, unable to deal with the situation.
"i promise... i'll never tell!" frost croaked out, hours without food and water taking a toll. if only he had not been so curious, he would be safe home by now.
the boss's eyes glinted with insanity and suddenly, like a veil covering his innermost thoughts, his eyes glazed over, as though looking at frost but not seeing him.
"no, you will tell. and you'll take the secret to your grave. i have worked too hard to get to where i am today and no one is going to take away what i have. i'll leave you here, until...," his voice trailed off. he turned away from frost, then giving one last look, repeated, "i'll leave you here, until you die of thirst."
the boy knew that he would never see daylight again. his throat was burning up, it would not be long. he smiled, resigned to his fate, at least the torture would be over soon.
"i thought things like that only occured in movies," he sighed. his boss was a well-respected man, no one would accuse him of kidnapping and ultimately, murder. no one would suspect corruption. the boy knew, things were never black and while, there was an underlying layer of grey in everything.
the thirst never slackened, every minute, pure agony. he gazed in dispair at the puddle of water near him. if it had been closer, he would have discarded his dignity and lapped at the puddle like a dog. his hands clawed the walls, and he fought off wave after wave of thirst. he never knew thirst could kill.
after a few hours, his eyes lost its focus. the word "water" clung to his brain like a mantra, going around and around until he lost it. a scream tore from his throat, despair quaking in his voice. whatever ray of hope he had left vanished. his mind only focusing on the need for water. his head spinning, frost lost consciousness. he awoke only the next day. his stomach runbling, demanding food, and his throat throbbed in pain, requesting life preserving water
as frost lost track of time, he lost all logic and rationality. the thirst burned deep within him, threatening to eat hime alive. his lips moved, mouthing the word "water". it was torture he had never known before, maybe it was penance for all the illegal things he had done. he prayed, sending a prayer to any entity that would spare him from the torment. slumped beside the bathtub in the toilet, he had long lost the will to live.
in his hazy state of mind, he did not notice the door opening, a "tsk tsk, he's still alive, better hasten his death,'' and footsteps going closer to him. the sound of rushing water, or was it his imagination, filled frost's mind. he was lifted, barely a shadow of the strapping teenager he had once been. his last thoughts as his face rushed towards the bathtub filled to the brim with water was, "salvation".
-end-
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
-Robert Frost
and life is complete.

is your heart
is your love
is your touch
yet it sometimes
seems too much to ask
too much to give
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He Leads beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul, He guides me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you
are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the
days of my life, and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23

all quotes come fron harry potter and the order of the pheonix. the page numbers to the quote is found in the brackets.
"Panting, Harry fell forwards over the hydrangea bush, straightened up and stared around. There were several faces peering trough various nearby windows. Harry stuffed his wand hastily back into his jeans and tried to look innocent." (10)
"What d'you mean, I'm not brave in bed?" said Harry, completely nonplussed. (14)
"Ah well...wand still in your jeans?" (53)
"There was a groan of bedsprings, and Harry's mattress descended a few inches as George sat down near his feet.
"So, got there yet?" said George eagerly. (100)
"Quite astonishing, the way you contrive to wriggle out of very tight holes." (154)
...and Fred, George, and Ginny were doing a kind of war dance to a chant that went "He got off, he got off, he got off...." (156)
"He's having a go at my mother!" Seamus yelled. (218)
"Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this." (343)
"I thought not," said Snape, watching him closely. "You let me get in too far. You lost control." (535)
"Yeah, Montague tried to do us during break," said George.
"What do you mean, 'tried'?" said Ron quickly. (627)
-_-;;; ok, dun come running to me asking me about the "wand" bit thingy. if u think a little more into it... you'll get it. there are lots of references to it. so er. go ahead and find them all! @_@

You are a very social individual, and it is important to you to have a relationship. You require closeness and togetherness. You want the object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good-looking. You see your lover as a friend and companion. You are very sensual, Needing someone to appreciate and almost worship you. When this cannot be achieved, you have the ability to hold out on affection until you receive this.. You are an expert at controlling your desires and doing without.
hmm... really? sounds rather true. i would believe it if it weren't for the fact that other people's names that start with other letters dun coincide with their personalities.

You represent... angst.
You have an extremely cynical outlook on just about
everything. It's okay to sulk and be
depressed, but life is short, and you only get
one. It's only what you make it, and only you
can make it improve.
What feeling do you represent?
brought to you by Quizilla
A 20 minute ride from home,
Still to my school but everything’s changed.
I would be in a whole different section,
A whole new world.
Queasiness invades, again and again,
Nothing to lose, so much to gain.
If only I can quell my fear,
To gain the knowledge I sought so dear.
No longer the predator,
But the prey.
Entering the school,
So lost, so alone.
To the hall my shaky legs proceed,
How? My mind screams. Why?
A sea of faces greet me,
So different, yet so alike.
No matter how much they claim not to be,
Each one of them share a twinge of fear.
It shows so obvious on some faces,
Though hidden deep inside some.
No longer the predator,
But the prey.
I spot a few of my friends,
Dread courses through as I wave to them.
All of them were in different classes,
Why couldn’t I have been in theirs?
There’s no one in mine
Whom I actually even like.
I sit down silently,
Staring glumly at the ceiling.
No longer the predator,
But the prey.
-Cheryl Ong 1D (23)
hmm... good? i thought it was rather good, ingenius really. especially, the last few lines of no longer the predator, but the prey. guess she meant that she was no longer at the top of the food chain in secondary school... but she was at primary 6.

"And now I´m just annoyed," said Draco. "Weasley, keep your oafish hands away from that potion. That´s my soul you´re messing about with, you know. It´s my life essence, it´s my being, it´s--"
"A fabulous new cleaning product!" announced Ron, looking down. Where the potion had fallen, it had eaten a hole right through the rug, and partway into the stone beneath. "I´ve never seen anything like it. It´s completely toxic."
They all stared curiously.
"I refuse to consider this as a reflection on my personality," said Draco, looked at the charred rug.
-chapter 3, Draco Sinister
"Then you'll know that I'm not lying when I tell that you look completely ridiculous," said Ron. "Leather trousers, Malfoy?"
"They are flame-retardant dragon hide and extremely useful," said Draco, aiming his nose into the air. "Besides, I look really hot in them."
"Nausea..." said Ron, weakly. "Building...inside me. Must...be sick in bucket."
"You have no taste," said Draco, to him, coldly, and turned to Harry. "You think I look hot, don't you?"
"There is absolutely no way for me to answer that that would not get at least one person angry at me," said Harry diplomatically.
Draco smiled smugly. "You fear your love for me," he said. "I understand."
Harry rolled his eyes. "I think I might need that bucket when you're done with it, Ron."
-chapter 4, Draco Sinister
