I realised my blog might go into a dead silence again. So here i am to liven it up with my illuminating presence :D
Thursday evening, I had a great skype chat with Ces josie jj and ky. LOL! it was hilarious!!! it was really good to catch up with everyone and i can't believe CEs came online!!! it almost never happens, so that was amazingly amazing! jasper was supposed to come and chat, but that noob didn't have his laptop on him, and downloaded the new skype so no one could call him. LOL! act high tech.
Then! jj josie ky and I played viwawa bridge. LOL! i haven't played bridge for SOOO long. it was so much fun. :D though, i didn't do very well :( i blame it on not having played it for ages.
Today we had a dinner party, and i explored the greatness that is google map. AND! i saw holland road.AND, clementi ave 1 where nan hua is. and omg, the wave of nostalgia that hit me. I MISS NAN HUA! and everyone, even the people who are horrible!
this morning and afternoon i had a shopping spree with sanchia which was really good, and i've spend loads but feel so unguilty about it cuz i bought some AMAZING stuff!!! :D afterall, one has to relieve stress some time! then we discussed debate, which we felt rather pleased about. we're supporting legalising prostitution. so much easier to argue, though maybe morally incorrect.
I have so much work to do and so little time to do it.. its unbelievable. have to find time to write an english essay tomorrow after going to the riverside swimming pool with naomi. we're volunteering to teach disabled kids to swim for our CSLA project. LOL! i haven't swam in ages, probably going to drown and die. :P
AND. it'll probably be really cold. sniffs. i'll catch pneumonia and die. all this death talk is depressing. going to go now
TATA!!!

ARGH
IT's been a rather good weekend! Went shopping with Sanchia before work and then went to Nav's for a sleepover. I ATE A WHOLE TUB OF BEN AND JERRYS. omg. i am going to grow fat and die. But, i do have a lot of blisters :( i am not sure how that balances things out, but ah wells.
I am a little bit annoyed today though. Maybe because i'm over reacting from lack of sleep. honestly, i slept at like 5 this morning and woke up at 9. LOL. though that really my fault. GOt home around 6, desperately neededto sleep, but had loads of work to do. But, i still took time off to try and talk to someone i hadn;t talked to in ages. Though now, i honestly dont think i should have bothered. I don't know how many times I've said this, but I am now officially honestly totally sick and tired of trying.I am repeating myself. BUT. still. this time i am so dead serious. I contemplated blocking and deleting, but that would be a little bit childish, and even after all this rubbishness, i still don't want to severe all communication. (though it probably wouldn't have made a difference). I don't even know if I'm just being not understanding and a hag, but now i don't care anymore. IT'S SO ARGHISHLY DISPPOINTING! i give up.
sorry, i just had a very strong desire to rant or else spontaneously combust from indignance and anger. I would cry if i thought it was worth it. ah wells. Maybe that's what's supposed to happen. maybe everyone wil end up like that in the end. lahdeedah... this is depressing.
ANYWAYS. ermm... really, nothing very exciting's been happening. I got my results back and they were okay. Can't wait for the Easter Holidays though. Need time to sleep relax and catch up with work. (not tomention the fact that when easter comes, i'll be able to eat chocolate!!!) I am not even kidding, i actually do have chocolate withdrawal symptoms. Nav bought like caramel ice cream. and everyone else had to take away the chocolate bits in them before they'd let me eat it. AHHHHH! and i'm not even christian. hmffffffff. next year i'm giving up something easier for lent. like..... eating walkers chips, prawn cocktail flavour specifically. :D but that might be cheating. hee.
i've just finished psychology!! really don't want to get into the shower. my feet are going to revolt and kill me with pain. i have like 3 HUGE blisters on each foot. stupid stupid shoes. They used to be comfortable!!! I was going to burn them. but Sanchia suggested hammering them with a meat hammer cuz it might soften the shoes. ANd it'll be painful for them too. so i'm going to try that. LOL!!!! i'll look half-crazed. but after walking in them for so long. i am entitled, i think. :P

Computers, Men or Women?
A language teacher was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
"House" in French, is feminine -"la maison," "Pencil" in French, is masculine "le crayon."
One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?" The teacher did not know, and the word was not in her French dictionary.
So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because
1) No one but their creator understands their internal logic
2) The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
3) Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later review
4) As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheque on accessories for it.
WAIT, IT GETS BETTER....
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine "le computer") because:
1) In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2) They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves
3) They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem
4) As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer you could have gotten a better model.
and, of course, the women won :D

It was great fun going up to London for V20 interview. even if i don't get in, it'd be worth it cuz it was so fun :D AND i found out that the V20 crew get their own blackberrys, and they organise brilliant events with politicians and celebrities and DO SO MUCH to encourage young people to volunteer. It's too brilliant for words. which is why i'm probably never going to hear from them again.

ALOHA
SLEEPY SLEEPY SLEEPY!!!
anyways, today during break. Ms Nimmo (our head of sixth form) told us that next year summer we're gonna have a sixth form trip to NEW YORK. ain't it cool :D LOL!!
no, i can't quite do the country western accent, but ah wells.
I THOUGHT, with ces' three long tags, I'd better reply in a post for fear of overloading cbox with my long long long long rants.
I think it's more likely everyone's going to leave me in England. Apparently liwen's eloping with Josie to NUS, and abandoning me :( the evil person. Not called dark side for nothing i guess. AND! disney on ice!!!! They look so pretty skating. Though i have to say, I;ve never watched an actual ice skating performance, but i bet it'll be AWESOME. Please do not complain about the weather in Singapore. Until you come to england, you do not understand what horrible weather means. The weather here is so bad that people use it all the time to start conversations. A normal conversation with a stranger/someone u don't know well starts like this in England: UGH. awful weather isn't it? or "ugh, it's raining again" or "AH, it's so cold!". LOL!
honestly, want a pinch of good weather? England's not the right place. It's lovely and wonderful in lots of different ways, but definately loses out on the weather aspect. I told my friends here how sunny and warm singapore is and they were like: wow. paradise. :D Honestly, loads of them want to come to singapore now.
I need to go eat dinner now :D

YAWNS
I am literally going to keel over and die. Just got home from quiz and cheese. Basically it's like a general knowledge quiz with parents, teachers and students. we were one of 5 sixth form teams. It was rather fun, didn't know much,but ah wells. LOL! pigged out loads though. BUT! Katie brought Rocky Road. and omg. they looked gorgeous. Fabulously chocolatey dreamy choclate with spongy chewy marshmellow. why why whywhy. WHY DID I GIVE UP CHOCOLATE?honestly, i nearly gave up. everyone said i should. but no. i shall stay strong. like a strong person. yes, i'm very good at description, metaphors and imagery. LOL!
going up to London on saturday for a V20 interview. Basically,V is a voluntary organistion that sort of co-ordinates and manages voluntary work around the country. V20 is it's youth advisory board made of 20 people across the country who make the big decisions and direct the organisations. It sounds pretty cool. i saw it online one day and was like woah! They get to do really cool stuff like organise voluntary workshops/courses/residentials and Gordon Brown (the british prime minister) had lunch with them. AND, the organistion building is in the same area as all those government and big organistion areas (westminster). REALLY EXCITED!!!! sent in my application for fun, didn't actually think i'd get in. THEN when i got the letter, i was like. O. M. G. IT's quite scary though cuz i have to do a task, a 3 min presentation about myself and an interviewww.. ahhhh. wish me luck xD
Last night, i went to the theatre with Sanchia to watch J.P Priestly's : AN INSPECTOR CALLS. it was quite brilliant. At the point where all the characters realised how horrible they were, the house they lived in literally fell over and all the plates on the table broke. It was very very dramatic. I can't quite explain it. It was like a HUGE doll house that opened up. AND THERE WAS SUCH A HUGE TWIST IN THE TALE. i suggest everyone should read/watch it. I have become an avid theatre-goer. It is brilliant! Sanchia and I have already planned our next theatre visit: Waiting for Godot. Don't really know what it's about, BUT! it has ian mckellen is in it, AND patrick stewart. A cast like that is to die for. For those who are wondering who Ian Mckellen is,(i was until i saw his picture!) : GANDALF. YES. GANDALF :D AHHHHHHH!!! I Am GOING TO SEE GANDALF!!! :D
OH! and today i found out one of my friends actually interviewed STEPHEN fRy. OMG. STEPHEN FRY!!! LIKE U NOE, QI!!! JEEVES AND WOOSTER!!! AND OMG. ALL THE FUNNY LOVELY SHOWS EVER. STEPHEN FRY. okay. i shall have to calm down now.
btw, just now, just a second ago, my IE just closed down for no apparent reason, and i was like omg omg omgomg. CUZ I HAD TYPED SO MUCH!! and I thought i'dlost it all. and i was about to kill blogger and never ever blog again. BUT THEN. THIS WONDER THING ACTUALLY AUTO SAVED MY POST... AHHHH!!! I LOVE BLOGGER. IT IS BRILLIANT :D whoever invented autosave is the best thing since sliced bread! I don't even know why people use that phrase. sliced bread isn't that amazing. bread is okay, but i could always slice it myself. though, there is a point in that if a piece of bread isn't sliced properly, it can't be toasted. THEN AGAIN, someone could always invent better toasters. I don't know. Its 3 minutes to 11pm. I am dead-beat. ANd i think i should go to sleep before i embarrass myself further!
GOODNIGHT ALL. XXXXXX

Wheee
It's nearly 11 o'clock, and I should really go to sleep. am going to wake up at like 6 am tomorrow to get to the forum at 7:30 to set up our stall for young enteprise. It's gone a bit messy, and i've spent the whole week trying to clear it all up, and it's bloody irritating cuz i haven't done any school work :(
Anyways, went out today with Katie to watch Shopaholic. OMG. it's amazing. i'm never going to date until i meet that brandon person. LOL!!! actually, i might just never date, fullstop. :P
ANYWAYS. it's lent. On shrove tuesday we ate loads of pancakes and nearly died of pancake-overdose. BUT. i'm giving up chocolate for lent. i know. omg. omg. omg. CHOCOLATE? i'm not sure if i'll make it. what if i suffer from withdrawal symptoms? It's just that people tell me during lent, people usually give up something they really like (something that might not be all that healthy and a bit indulgent), and i thought about what i really really like and want to eat everyday, and then i said CHOCOLATE. and then it was too late. So, I'm not going to eat chocolate for 40 days. It's so sad. the sick thing is, that day I had a snicker bar, and I had to give it to Priya :( the lucky girl. AND THEN, after that, during our further Maths class, kirsty for some strange reason had decided to bake this brilliant chocolate cake with chocolate stick and chocolate icing. it looked fit for a cafe. and the pieces were HUGE. she brought them for the further maths people... and.. everyone had one :( except amy and me. Amy had given up cake. LOL!! but, having given up chocolate, i couldn't have it. it was horrible. if i could imagine hell, that'd be it. Mr. Perry made a big show of enjoying it, the horrible man. AND NAVEEN! she didn't even eat her piece, she just left it on her table, SO I HAD TO SEE IT ALL DURING THE LESSON. i know. apparently she was saving it for break, but honestly. the agony.
but, my grandma's given up all alcohol except wine and grandpa's given up ice cream. i am determined that on Easter, I am going have a chocolate fondue. then die of chocolate-overdose, if that's possible. can one have too much chocolate??? hm...
TOMORROW is the february market, and We're selling mothers' day mugs that we nicely made with lots of great stuff in it. AND our hoodies. it's going to be brilliant!!! weeeee. and next week is Quiz and Cheese! and then Inspector calls, sanchia tells me its a wonderful play, and I am going to watch it with her. so exciting week ahead.
LOVE U ALL,

Gap Year
I've just completed my work experience placement in John Lewis, and it was so much fun. It was rather sad to leave actually, but the Registrar actually called me to her office and told me if i wanted a part time job at John Lewis during my holidays, I should apply and mention i did work experience there. so that's my summer job sorted. LOL!!!
EAST ANGLIAN CHAMBERS replied with an acceptance! I HAVE OFFICIALLY GOT LAW WORK EXPERIENCE XD how cool is that. and because its the chambers, i'm guessing they have barristers there too. whooopeee
Anyways, I think i'm going to take a Gap year. meaning after sixth form, i'll be taking off for a year and then go to university the year after. it does mean that it'll be harder to get a place, but ah wells. I'm planning to apply to deloittes on their scholars scheme. It's pretty cool. you work for them with no strings attached (don't have to go back after graduation), they give u pay and money to travel. Then at ur university, you have to publicise them, and then work for them for a while during some of ur holidays. But it's really hard to get into. ah wells. AND THEN. i hope to go to Ghana and do Law and Human Rights. Basically, fight for women's rights, children's rights and create awareness. well, either Ghana or Ethiopia, and either law or journalism. But i think i'm pretty set on human rights :D it'll be great!
BUT! of course, I'll come and visit dear Singapore, and China as well!
WHOOTS. it's all planned out. but with my luck, it'll probably fall apart some time soon. yawns.
need to go for lunch and then my volunteering work at BHF. which reminds me, I'm meeting the youth coordinator of voluntary norfolk on tuesday to discuss how i can volunteer and maybe even the possibility of a voluntary residential to complete my duke of edinburgh award. whoots.
went to look for camping stuff as well for my expedition. but couldn't find nice things.THEY'RE ALL SO BIG. :( and the thing is... i've put on weight :( AHHHHH. no more eating. well... except for lunch now. i mean, u'd die without lunch. right? LOL!!!

AND THEN. i hope to go to Ghana and do Law and Human Rights. Basically, fight for women's rights, children's rights and create awareness. well, either Ghana or Ethiopia, and either law or journalism. But i think i'm pretty set on human rights :D it'll be great!
BUT! of course, I'll come and visit dear Singapore, and China as well!
WHOOTS. it's all planned out. but with my luck, it'll probably fall apart some time soon. yawns.
need to go for lunch and then my volunteering work at BHF. which reminds me, I'm meeting the youth coordinator of voluntary norfolk on tuesday to discuss how i can volunteer and maybe even the possibility of a voluntary residential to complete my duke of edinburgh award. whoots.
went to look for camping stuff as well for my expedition. but couldn't find nice things.THEY'RE ALL SO BIG. :( and the thing is... i've put on weight :( AHHHHH. no more eating. well... except for lunch now. i mean, u'd die without lunch. right? LOL!!!

work work work
just got back home from my work experience at John Lewis Publications (otherwise known as the chronicle). The guys there are really good fun, and it's rather relaxed and funny XD so all's good. I'm nearly done with my article, and it's looking good :D i've found the amazing-ness that's quark, AND the John Lewis Partners' Dining Room. the food is good!!! :D and that's one of the most important things ever. food.
I've been taking photos, editing, writing articles, and designing the magazine pages. and i have to say, it sounds like a lot, but we always manage a lot of spare time where we sort of don't do anything at all but mess around. which is good :D
EXCEPT, the hours are like 9 -5 so i seriously haven't got time to do work :( need to write essay!! ahhh...
gotta go for supper. :D it smells good! yay!
