had a meaningful talk with huishan this afternoon while crafting / drawing. realized that nowadays i am less judgmental of others before getting to know them well enough. also realized how important making friends is. and how careful we must be when doing so.
deep nights like these i am so glad i have great, great friends. deep nights like these i love listening to the raw, powerful sounds of r. yamagata. |

"I've been thinking everyday about you
Don't fit anywhere into my life, but that's okay
'Cause I think I might be right for you
And because of that, I'm not scared at all
And everyone says I'm crazy
And everyone says I'm a fool
Would you meet me by the water tonight
( 'Cause I'm ready to break all the rules ) |

exams are a funny thing. the past two weeks have gone by both in a blur as well as excruciatingly slowly, and it's not immediately clear how this whole speed thing works. mechanical time, it seems, has decided to floor the accelerator and flash ahead, while the time in your brain is taking its time to stroll on, or perhaps it is trudging along wearily like your eyes on waugh.
speaking of woff, i've found the mothership. on facebook, of all places!
but i digress. studying with the f_________ f___ has been mostly illuminating, but also highly unproductive, where unproductive = hours of pleasure and fun. this mainly involves Giza, that damned pyramid board game which tbh isn't actually all that entertaining, save the fact that everyone is always being biatches and ganging up on someone (mostly mark. OR ME, thanks much). also, as mark very aptly puts it, Swirl is one hell of a money blackhole - although i refrain from quoting "it pwns my wallet" and "shao"/"duo"/"qing"/whatever else he comes up with - and i must've spent, idk, at least 50 smackers at that place in the past two weeks. it's only a gelateria, dammit!
anyway, i might be helluva unprepared for the blocks, but siriusly? whatever, at least i've enjoyed the last holiday i can have in my 6 years of secondary education. i really have done quite a lot of things in this past month and it makes me feel kinda poignant, but also it makes me sincerely hope this is the last time i squander my holidays away. gogogo, A's! (that said, if i see another mention of expansionary monetary policy again... my interest rate would totally drop)
so, pictures.
( recollections from days past )
also, can somebody tell me why i am not revising the sonnets now! D: |

LOSER RENJIE STRIKES AGAIN D: D: I was just sitting by the pool today trying to get some studying done. because singapore is one degree north of the equator the ITCZ never migrates far, so temperature remains fairly high throughout the year, which means the heat got to me and I dozed off :( and because the we are in the ITCZ the sun is at a high angle overhead most of the year, which means insolation was intense, and when I woke up the front half of me was burnt and the back half was normal, so now I have like a contour line around my body, it's like someone splashed reddish paint onto me from the front ugh!
anyway I was sorting out my clothes that i was going to sell at the flea market (THIS SUNDAY COME DOWN PLZ!) and I realized some of my clothes look really old and worn out. which means I won't be able to sell it for as much alr grumph grumph! |

mmrph! whoever that person is who said that cooking is quick and easy... evidently should have a spatula-ful of chili paste shoved up his butt. (that means you, can-cook-yan!)
I am positively exhausted, because I stayed up last night to prepare the food and continued the entire day today. who knew that a single meal could take such massive amounts of time to prepare D: okay but to be fair it was probably the funnest thing I have done in about 2845 years, plus plus plus the food actually tasted great, and no one has died of food poisoning (yet)! and, well, the sheer satisfaction from knowing that everything is homemade, from scratch. eliseus, being the biggest party pooper in history, helpfully pointed out that our judgement of our own food doesn't count. WHATEVER LOR.
and and and even though there were so many hugeass disasters - did you know that avocados turn an unappetizing poo-brown if left overnight? did you know that marinated pork cannot be cut cleanly using a kitchen knife? and did you know that a tub of lychee martini doesn't freeze in four hours? - everything turned out quite smoothly, which makes me Top Chef, obviously.
neways, ( pictures: )
... LOOKS GOOD, EH. maybe sometime soon I can find time to cook for my friends! :) |

shit, if I weren't so busy with life I would totally set up a food blog and cook all day and blog all day :/ cooking is so gratifying, mostly because you get to eat what you have been carefully toiling over for the past hour or so, and oh my god, maybe I should just become a chef when I grow up :O
so instead of being a studious hardworking renjie I was being foodie mess-up-the-kitchen renjie, and these are the results of my labour over the past two nights:
roast red peppers with dill, feta & olive oil
SHUTUP ELI AND ERWIN DON'T SAY ANTH STUPID. on a side note I really don't get why people hate feta so much it is damn super super omg.
caramelized pears
'NUFF SAID, THIS WAS FOODGASMIC. although I probably should've browned it more, plus the next time I'm going to do a red wine reduction instead so my dad won't find it overly sweet :)
heehee! these are exciting times. i've always wanted to make an entire meal, & I hope my mum will be taken in enough by the surprise to not notice that I've dirtied the kitchen :/
wish me luckkkk pepulz! |

allow me to indulge in pointless photography:
( bloomingdales )
as you can see, I am myself pretty surprised how my plant is still surviving - and flowering! - even after one and a half months. if only I could say the same about my the geog and lit tests today, though :/ |

A supernumerary nipple (also known as a trip nip, third nipple, triple nipple, thripple, accessory nipple, polythelia or the related condition: polymastia) is an additional nipple occurring in mammals, including humans. Often mistaken for moles, supernumerary nipples are diagnosed at a rate of 1 in 18 humans.

I THINK I HAVE A THIEF DEMON HANGING OVER MY HEAD D:
i keep losing things from under my nose! last time it was the ipod and now it's my house keys T_T yesterday night i opened the door after coming back from dinner at my aunt's and this morning as i was preparing for school i couldn't find it. barring the unlikely possibility (but a possibility nonetheless) that i left the key hanging at the door and someone ran away with my monkeys, it must be in my house. and it must be BLOODY WELL HIDDEN because i've been searching for the past half an hour without finding anything :/ it's times like these when you wish you could call your keys and find it vibrating under your pillow!
uhm and not just that: attached in the same key ring were the keys to the luggage i used for cambridge and japan. now that my mum wants to use the luggage, well. she can't. and at the thought of not having a suitable bag to use, she has now triumphantly announced that IF I CANNOT FIND THE KEYS I SHALL NOT EXPECT TO GET ANY ALLOWANCE, ANYMORE?!?!?
is this all part of the karmic retribution from the time eliseus helped me steal a pack of jewels from spotlight?? (and by 'helped me steal' i really mean 'quietly sneaked into my bag') because IT'S NOT ME, IT'S HIM D: |

okay whoohoo am sick on kellie's birthday! i win at life.
yesterday i was feeling nauseous in school so i went to the toilet to puke. then later i took a cab home, and the ride was really bumpy so i felt like puking again, but to make matters worst the driver kept burping?? and waves of garlic/cauliflower/rice gas kept floating in my direction, so i told the uncle to stop burping and he said "okay" but kept burping anyway, so after a while i couldn't take it and puked into a ziploc bag. the horrified expression on the uncle's face was priceless.
anyway i went to the clinic later and they made me wear a mask and sit in a corner because i was running a fever D: the nurse asked me whether i had a temperature and i said yes and she stuck a thermometer into my ear and said "wah. your fever very high leh". she repeated that, i don't know, four or five times, i felt like punching her and shouting OF COURSE I KNOW I HAVE A FEVER JUST LET ME SEE THE FUCKING DOCTOR NOW. except i would puke all over her face, not like it mattered anyway because she was dressed from head to toe in scrubs.
something about puking is really cool though, your stomach clenches so hard and your mouth is locked open and all the acidified chyme (pH 2) comes gushing out of your mouth, your eyes tear and your nose is runny and your brain is in panic mode. it feels good that all the nonsense poison is coming back out, but that also meant i was dehydrated and the doctor had to give me dehydration salts lol.
so i have h3 exam later, i hope i don't pass out while writing. 3 essays in 2 hours, and each essay must be 3-4 sides long?? unless the foolscap paper has 10cm margins i am only going to be able to write half a page in that amount of time > |

uhm, i am in deep trouble D: my SATS are <5 days away and i just did one math sample paper and i scored 18/50 on it - that's 500!!!! NUUUUUUU someone save me pls D:
on another note, today has been a notgood day of mishaps: first i topple over my ice lemon tea just before econs, which not only meant that i had to clean it up with toilet roll, but also that i had no ice lemon tea to last me through barnard D: D: then later i go back to the fishtank to get my replacement ilt and as i hand the dollar coin over the counter to the uncle i drop it and it promptly sinks into an apple lattice. at least the uncle wasn't mad at me, but i think it had to do with the fact that i said "nevermind nevermind, they don't know the coin dropped in".
okay byebye : |
