For the record, I think the Writer's Ink competition thing was fun, despite it being tiring and all. But the facilitators and all were really good, despite some problems at the start.

It felt good to stay in school overnight - lots of talking&all, plus lots of brainstorming and writing, a little hysteria resulting from the fatigue of thinking&staying awake - but that's what made it fun in the end (and what else do you expect to do, if you join a writing competition, other than to write? I think it was cool that they made it interesting&planned non-writing-related stuff too).

Everyone was super shagged in the morning, all having minimal hours (some didn't even have an hour) of sleep cos we were all trying to write and make our end pieces as good as we can. On top of being shagged, we were all rather grimy and sticky cos it was quite a humid night (the fans that were blowing at me when I slept gave me cramps k, but I was too tired to be bothered to reach for something to cover myself with).

Overall, it was cool(: Yay Writers' Ink!

this is so related to the lit books that we do right. so-very-Nica-like.

speaking of which, i really should be doing my essay now, but all that thinking has left my brain in a big mess of tangles. (which makes me think of "swing swing from the tangles of my heart...").

"Like being in love," she said, "for the first time."

PMS.

I like how I can blame things like my mood swings and hyper-eating on biology. On the other hand, zits are waging war on my face, which kinda spoilt my Good Hair Day. Having to tie up my hair kinda spoilt it too.
Oh well, cest la vie.

Today was a long day. History was ultra bad, and Econs tutorial was too, especially because of my horrible moodswings. But we survived! With some comic relief coming by way of Bong's inspection of Jeremy's pencilcase (which was full of inkless pens&pen parts, like carnage or something) and a non-demoralizing Lit lesson (for a change/finally), we lived through today.

Bring on the homework-filled long weekend! I shall, obviously, focus on the latter. I know there's like a month off after next week, but long weekends are rare and therefore to-be-treasured.


Shall top up the water bottle then settle in bed with a nice book(:

If I wasn't sure before, yesterday proved it-

Rachel Attracts Weirdos.


oh well.



On to better things: I met up with Dee yesterday after heaven-knows-how-long, &it was nice. I basically unloaded my life story (the chapters that she's missed out on these few months) on her, as she listened. She's a really good listener- interested at all times, injecting laughter or comments or her own stories at certain junctures. I miss hanging out with her.

And, I've said this many times but what the heck, I totally approve of her bf. He's such a nice guy, &they're so happy together, it's really so sweet! (:



Have I mentioned that I'm extremely screwed for tomorrow's MSA? yeah, that.

Another day's gone past.

Another day of secrets, some revealed, some not.

Okay, can't think anymore- 1. inexplicably too tired 2. Sara Bareilles' Love Song is running through my head.

head underwater
&you tell me to breathe easy for a while
breathing gets harder
even I know that.

Coolshiatzz.

WE MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!

Woah it was so cool, seriously. I only caught like the last half hour of it (by rushing out of lit lecture&cabbing down), but it was so good! I would recount what happened, but aiyah it's better to watch. The atmosphere was damn shiok, everyone was cheering like nuts, screaming our lungs out, with Mr. Soh's rallying cries of "Come on Saints! Cheer for them!!!" gosh it was good. Made me think of last year where we would go down to (seemingly) every match, so cool.

All the teams are doing really well this year, it's so cool. I'm not even playing but I feel so friggin' happy- can't imagine what they would feel.

*would put up a nice picture I took, but I misplaced the cable*

GO SA!(:

MAS TAGGED ME.

Instructions:
A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people. (I won't do this, so no worries.)


Questions!
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
lots of anger&hurt, but I would want to find out why (and in the process of finding out, bodily harm him in some way).

2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
I suppose it would be to be able to say I led a fulfilling life&left a positive impression on people.

3. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Taking the A Levels are pretty much a certainty, but as for everything else, the answer would be a resounding YES,

4. What's your ideal lover like?
Ooh, you're in for a long answer. He must be (in no order of preference): funny, quirky, friendly, gorgeous smile, romantic, understanding, sweet, tall enough for me to wear heels&not dwarf him...(broad shoulders,tanned skin&some musical ability would definitely be a plus!)

5. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
It depends- I think it's more blessed to be able to love someone you thought you never could, but being loved is definitely blessed.

6. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
If he decides for sure (with lots&lots of certainty) that he doesn't like me, then it's time I move on!

7. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
I'd do my best to move on.

8. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
Yes, actually, mostly to do with school&school-related stuff, which I will not elaborate upon.

9. What do you want most in life?
I want to find joy in the work I do, so I can say that I've lead a fulfilling life.

10. Is being tagged fun?
If the questions are interesting, yes.

11. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
WHACK THEM! But seriously, my reaction would be similar to question 1, except that the intensity of emotions would be far greater. Oh gosh, I hope this never happens to me!

12. Who is currently the most important person to you?
Everyone in my life that I care about is important to me, just in different ways.

13. What kind of person do you think I am?
I assume it's referring to Mas, so...She's my bestest girl friend&I have no idea what I'd do without her in my life. Her life parallels mine in so many ways, it's almost freaky! But really, people like her really get me, &they help balance me out, &I owe them BIG TIME for all they've done for me (((:

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
That's not a fair question! Happiness needs to be included in the question for me to make a choice.

15. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you, what would you do/how would you react?
I suppose I would like try to queue up at the same place&get my friend to shout my name from somewhere so that he would be like "Hmm, who's that they're calling so loudly?", turn around, &see me!

16. Would you give your all in a relationship?
I'll only get into one if I'm sure that we'd both give our all. So, yes.

17. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?
Neither.

18. What type of friends do you like?
Woah, I don't think I can define the friends that I like. I like all kinds of friends, but I love it when we can think on the same frequency.

19. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
I only play harmless pranks, so...I'd laugh my ass off! &give the poor dude a hug for being such a good sport.

20. If you could change one thing in your life, what would it be?
Nothing. I'm a strong believer in the "everything happens for a reason" thing, &it's worked out so far, so I wouldn't change anything.

Not going to tag anyone, but anyone that wants to can go ahead! Leave a message on my tagboard if you are, cos I want to read the answers!

Hello.

Past few mornings have been rather shitty, really. But I suppose at least things are only bad in the mornings, maybe it helps me appreciate the rest of the day better? Don't know, shan't think about it.

I know it's not just me that's realised that these few weeks have been like some sort of "Secret Sharing/Confession Period". Huddled groups in the cafe, extremely funny reanactments, whispers behind cushions (that are found out anyway), secret typing on handphones, long walks around school grounds...

I wonder how much of my opinion I can subtly publish on a blog for it to still be subtle. Not much, I think, so I'll leave it to one-on-one conversations. But I will say that Secret Sharing Period has been interesting, &I like how I'm growing closer to people&squashing some sad thoughts that I initially had about JC. (:

-

Met up with Mas&Asraf after school yesterday. (love these two, don't know what I'd do without them.) Went to Coffee Bean (against their wishes, heh! next time we'll go to NYNY k?), walked around whilst catching up, devising stupid party themes...oh, watched a movie too! Mas had to leave early, so I made Asraf re-watch Iron Man because I wanted to. Talked quite a bit before that, &it was insightful, I suppose one could put it that way.

-

I really do like Secret Sharing Period- not so much for the gossip, but for the closeness.
