Debate JG quarter-finals yesterday, RGS against RI! We lost, sigh. But gladly not a shamed defeat, because they were strong opponents and our debate seniors were awesome. :D

I mean, visualise this: This person goes up, starts talking without a single stammer, gets POIed tons, never loses confidence, smiles nicely... They looked too scary, trust me. I think maybe it's because they've been training for very long. Like they keep the same competition team for three years, but we switch around frequently. But they debate was really enriching to watch, haha. I managed to pick up a few good tips from there and scribble down two pages of illegible(except to me of course) notes, a fairly commendable effort judging by the fact that me and Ariel ended up with no seats, and we got one only so I sat on the table and these two RI guys arrived when the 3rd prop was making his speech(wtf so late) and started talking to each other loud enough to distract anyone beside them, i.e. me. But this makes me feel so... dunno, inspired? To someday stand up there and broadcast my views to the world. Yeeeah. :D But I think we've got some already-awesome debaters *coughyenjeanandarielcough* so they will be THE FUTURE OF RGSDEBATE. Ooooh. I can only hope to improve, and try doing so for now. *determination grin* XD

Debate aside, let me reveal a horrifying, stupendously-depressing-to-me piece of news: I got below class average for English. *dies* 9/20! NINE! 70% of my class passed too... Gah. I really have to find out what's wrong and study or else I'll never cope in RGS. But the stupidest thing was, if you count all the initially correct answers I'd cancelled away, you'd get 14. :<

So last but not least, today is THE DAY. Earth Hour. Are you going to vote for Global Warming, or vote for our beloved Mother Earth? I'm voting for the latter. The choice is entirely yours, but the consequences are ours. So what will you decide? All it takes is a flick of the switch. If your lights are still on at 8.30 tonight, you've voted Global Warming. If they're off, you've voted for the Earth. Yep, you can go a step further and switch off everything else too: TV, MP3, computer... It's only until 9.30. Sixty minutes without electricity. Light a candle, talk to your family, look at the stars, go for a stroll in the park, go out and enjoy nature with your friends... so much you can do. 

And yes, the old EOC (FYI: my last-year's SL group of environmentalistic people! :D)punchline would be fairly apt to end this post.

Unless we do something, this monstrosity will not stop.
Global Warming is not just a theory.
It is reality. 
If we all do our part, we can do it. 
We will make a difference. 
We will stop Global Warming.

Act now.

Let's just say I'm mildly, no- VERY ecstatic right now. 

I GOT FEATURED ON DA! THANKS TO A VERY NICE REMUS/HOBEE/HOPE CHOW LAURIE WHO RECOMMENDED. AND RENEE, IF YOU HAPPEN TO READ THIS: YOU'RE FEATURED TOO. AWESOME!

End of rant. Ehehe. I shall, I repeat, SHALL do something nice for her and stuffs, just to make an effort to be better and stop submitting haphazard manga people in. Yes, I will. And during the June hols: LEARN SHADING! Soemthing I've always been too lazy to do which results in everything looking positively cartoony. 

Hmm, if I were to describe the March hols in one word, I'd say it was enlightening. I met some greatly-missed friends at Vivo and had the best time of our lives, went on a holiday with two other kids: one really cute P2 girl and one boy who was actually sort of weird but then he was actually autistic, and we turned out to be great friends. Dunno, like we just clicked. They're apparently my parents' best friend's kids. :D And I also went back to my primary school to help in a chinese camp, on the way home discussing what we'd ideally be when we were adults> (i.e. not boring, able to jump around and let loose and such!)

And this week's been a bumper ride. Monday, something happened in the morning. Maths results made me spend $7. Okay, indirectly. I got 18/32. YES. 18. As near-fail as fail can get. And so I started gorging to keep out of depression(like I always do) but my parents were strangely supportive when I got home. I'm really thankful for things like these: parents. Sure, they're mostly naggy and annoying, but it's really such a relief when I dread punishment and then they tell me they're going to support me regardless of how badly I do just if I try. But they're still wanting to transfer me to MGS. So I just pray, hope, wish it won't happen. :x

And so moving on to Tuesday. Drama practice. Maths first period, Mrs Ang was nice and weird and funny as usual. And apparently our classroom is still dusty beyond words. o.o Hehe, we did ratio that day which was easy, thank goodness. After Maths, I ran off for Drama and then back up again to take my clothes to change into, only to bump into 陈老师 and crash her class. Chinese marks: 39/60. ONE MARK. AWAY. FROM 40! *cries* But I was expecting a fail, so I guess I should be thankful for this score already. Not like I used to be good at Chinese anyway. And so, Drama drained the life out of me I could say. But it was great helping out and watching them act, plus we brought tons of snacks and had a feast later so it was awesome! YAY. 

And today was normal, the usual Wednesday after-RS starving ritual. I mean, 3  blocks before recess? Oh no. :x Until CLE, when I got my personality report thingy and discovered how low my score was. I think I really need to change as a person, because the report says I have poor management of feelings, I tend to blurt things out anyhow, and I have low self-confidence. What'd you think? o.o But on the bright side, eating Miss Pang's pear made me feel peaceful. Really! I don't know why, but Miss Pang makes people feel happy about life. Hehe. And I got 35/45 for Japanese CA1! Ack, minus careless mistakes and it'd be 41. Honest. Sigh, me and my carelessness. But I'm glad I coursed through this one. Must study hard next time!

To close off this post, I'm just saying I think I'm philosophising a lot these days and delving deeper into religion and such. Sigh, let's just say I know why the philosophers all committed suicide. Some things are... too depressing. 

Below is the supposedly 'ancient' Miniclip game I was fiddling with on the class comp while waiting for 3.00. (shh!) IT EEZ FUN AND NOT LAME I TELL YOU! :D

So today was...CPR.

Yes, CPR as in that CPR, the put-your-lips-to-the-casualty's-lips-and-breathe-for-them one. Although I find it mildly strange why they call it a CPR course. It's actually a FIRST-AID course, but that's a minor detail anyway. And how it was: boring and interesting at the same time. : <

So, first off: the 'choking' part. Denise was my partner, and let's say it went interestingly. So basically we were supposed to feign choking, and I ended up getting tickled so much I started laughing instead of choking. And when Denise was the casualty, let's say I poked too much. o.o Fortunately, I passed that segment in the practical quite okay-ishly. 

And then there was the CPR part, but I don't want to bore everyone who already knows how to do it, so basically it was just pushing on the chest, mouth-to-mouth and such. During the practical, we had to push 150 times in total. OUCH. And for lunch, I queued for 20 minutes just to get nasi lemak(which I *cough*donotreallylike*cough* but had no choice because it was the only food available) and the band people got free food with FRIED CHICKEN! :o Ah well, life is unfair isn't it. And so, that was supposed to be enough to sustain me for four hours. Trust me, it wasn't.

I shall skip to the last test to save time(it's already 12. o.o)! So the last test was about wrapping slings and bandages and all. Gah. Although I got a 19 on the previous one, I'm horrible at doing such stuff so I freaked out totally and the instructor kept prodding me. Sigh. Denise(who was my  partner again :D) was much better, seriously. I think I took near 1/2 an hour but when she said 'you've also passed', I was thinking: "ZOMG. Really?" So thank God we got a nice examiner. And even more, the day finally ended! Though it's useful, I can't exactly say I'll want to go through this again. NO WAY. o.o

So now I'm probably going to hit the sack.  And then wake up at 6 tomorrow and sit a boat for 2 hours to go to some kelong in Bintan. My parents' idea of fun. Hehe. But I don't really mind, except that my chinese worksheet's really 75% done and I have no clue how to do the rest AND I'll only be back on Monday, 12am. Sigh. So I'll probably bring my homework there or something, no choice. 

Ending off with something I think is cute. :D

TODAY=HORRORS.

Let's see... to buy stuff for Bio PT, Ly-shan, Stella(random follower :D) and I RAN THROUGH THE RAIN around ten times, got lost for two hours, got tricked by people, i.e. got led left and then right and then left and then... *you get it* to get to Art Friend. And then when we got back to school, all we did was a bit of research and mould our organisms better. AND THEN when I got back home, I felt so sick that I slept for 5 hours and had a slight fever and skipped dinner again. Aah. Glad I'm okay now, or at least a bit better. I mean, I have strength to blog. :D

And by the way, I have something I wanted to say last Mon but didn't say: I took 4 buses to get home. SERIOUSLY. As in after going to Jurong Point with Stella(don't ask. :P), I took 187 this looooong way ahead, and because I was so drained from SAs and such, I dozed off until WOODLANDS INTERCHANGE! *dies* And then, I took 925 to CCK interchange, then changed to 190 and then 920. :'< Poor $1.80...

ANYWAY. This post is going to seem pretty random because I don't feel like posting and my head still feels like a rock. Heavy, sinking... AAH. I feel sort of emo and depressed for some reason. POETRY! I shall try to compose some poetry to getmy mind off this... :o

Come now, my dear friends
On this journey that'll never end
Deep into the late, late night
Therein we venture with might

Into the darkness and the doom
Of a pile of what is in my room:
Homework! Homework, just too much,
Homework, that'll be done until such

A time does come that day shall break
And when we're all supposed to wake
Here we'll be, eyes black and sore,
By the homework, doing more and MORE.

And then when we're on the bus to school,
Our heads droop, and we being to drool,
For the fatigue has taken over,
And made us snore like a lawnmower.

So now, we have to face our fate,
And open our bag's ghastly gate.
Dig deep inside, in front, behind...
The doomed homework there, you find.

Random much? Aah, poetry feels so nice to compose after a while... I shan't slack now, back to Bio PT then! (MY ORGANISM STILL KEEPS FALLING APART)

P.S: Anyone know what 'symbiotic' means?
