SHAWN IS MR MUSCULAR! declared during bio lesson against ryan(:
anyways, mel's EMO. mel's PHAT. mel's SHORT. stubs are short and PHAT. therefore mel's a STUB. i'm applying what i learn in english. see, mr kevin! i made you proud=X okay, he taught us to argue against those type ohwells, i'm upset now VERY VERY UPSET. mel has no more meaning in life no aim to not hit mighty 50 no aim to hit 160cm all thanks to a horrid school all thanks to a pe teacher who messed up everything i was warming up and he was like, go! and i stared at him then i realised he already started timing forget it. another teacher let the students jump a million times me? ya, twice. WTH is wrong with the pe dept?! so much for all their talk on being fair TRASH.
explanation by mel's ohsoperfect boyfriend:mel's emo-ing coz she's experiencing the PHAT syndrome that majority of the girls experience at some point of their life. all they got to do is find a perfect boyfriend who can brainwash them. they'll beieve that hugging can make them slimmer.
HAHAHS. i burst out laughing! SHAUN! you retard, you just make me laugh and roll around in the mud lahs. i'm going to miss you eccentricity, if there's such a word. and no, i do not think that hugging makes one slimmer. GUYS HAVE A WAY OF THINKING OUT OF THE BOX(x any guys out there who support a poor little boy's argument? hahahs. mel's really really emo. see, she's even typing as a 3rd person. STOP EATING MEL! STOP EATING ICE CREAM! STOP EATING GOOD FOOD! STOP SNACKING! STOP EATING FROM THE CANTEEN! STOP TAKING THE LIFT! what else can mel do to reduce her PHATNESS]: stupid school made me SHRINK. now my target of 160 is even further away]:

things took a turn today, but i wont emo, i'll be happy, i'll wish you all the best, i hope that you'll be back here soon.
lastly, to someone who was once my friend but somehow, things changed for the worse. you chose it, you wanted to avoid it, but dont tell me not to talk to someone just because he's your friend. fyi, i'm not getting close to him to get updates on you. honestly, i dont do such lowdown things and i'm long done with the past. i wish i didnt have to share such a good friend with you, but since you knew this friend before i did, then lets just leave it that way, we both have the same close friend, but we still do not cross each other's path. thanks a million, dont torture me, dont spite me, i'd rather you continue hating me.
okay, so that wasnt the last. i just got up from some good deed sylar and i did! we are such nice people. we are the interactors(x

I'M home on a friday evening(: surprising rights? hahahs. no trng today, tmr going ferr training(:
i got home today and started digging for things like some scavenger. first it was the durians, then i realise, eh, where's my collegeboard results? so i turned my whole house upside down before i found it asleep soundly in the nus high camp file. hahahs. i merely wanted to make sure that my mommie didnt make any mistake. hahahs.
okay, i realised that many people have posted their views about mr toh's 'speech' that day. more of a lecture to the level? anyways, i guess he was effective since so many people responded. i felt that it was about time to say such things but maybe, in a more tactful way? its like, he told people to be tactful about their words but here he is not leading by example. honestly, i must say that this kind of things wont really stay in my head for a long time but i have been blog hopping and so many people are insulting him and all. in my opinion, he's a nice teacher, a teacher worthy to be respected, or else i wouldnt have tried to do well for chinese. however, maybe not everyone in our level looks up to him and thats what our level needs. someone we all look up to, before such statements can be effective. i honestly think that spending more time telling the younger years such things is more worthwhile than telling us(hard to crack people). i guess instead of trying to regret and make amendments for not making us think the right way from the start, maybe the school should work on ensuring that our juniors dont turn out to be like us. thats all for today before i get lots of comments and objections and get shot in the brains and i wont survive through a level chinese. hahahs.
LOVES!

YAYY! i'm a genius to come up with such a stretegic plan to actually do such a thing: to sleep after rowcall as the internet is SLLLOOOOOWWWWW to the max. woke up at 1.45am(: well, i suppose to wake up at 1am but i snoozed my hp a million times. hahahs. mao most probably got irritated and i hope i didnt disturb my toilet mateees]: i feel quite bad.
ELEPHANT, EHLEPHANT! oh what should i call this oh so pretty white elephant. hahahs. andand, i dont mind you commenting on my post but right, i know my post was full of fallicies, whatsoever but so is everyone else's! everyone's doing this random posting of topic and you choose to comment on mine. not that i mind or anything but you're trying to not reveal my identity by putting a link to my blog? a bit conflicting don't you think. i'm going to post on seriously random topics like barney and butterflies and spectrum from now onwards and see how people are going to comment. actually, not that i mind but i'm just a bit uncomfortable with it. i'll get used to it, no worries, and i'll try to improve my posts, with lesser fallacies and one day i'll look back and say, thanks for correcting me(:
RANDOM TOPICS BELOW! DONT READ IF YOU HAD DRAGGY WASTE TIME THINGS TOPIC: Exercise
Exercising, something that society deem good for health but is neglecting by the majority of people, somehow. In the Singaporean context, every student after a certain age have to experience a physical fitness test. There seems to be this observable phenomenon; about 2 to 3 weeks before the actual assessment, students tend to start practising, traning intensively jsut for the hope to obtain a pass, silver or gold. Maybe people have started to treat this like some sort of theory type examination, and thus starting preparation a few weeks before hand. However, we realise that exercising should be a constant habit, something that happens over a longer period of time to get into the pink of health. This is why we also can notice the slight increase in absentee or injury rate during this period of time due to the sudden increase intensity of training that our body is unable to cope with.
I believe this system was in place to emphasize the importance of exercise. However, with such habit as stated above, I se the success rate of this assessment to be considerably low, unless exercising for a certain period of time in one year is considered to be healthy enough. I think that this sort of assessment ought to be a monitoring system thorughout the year. Such a system is in place for majority of the schools, but the minority, such as mine, ought to follow such programmes accordingly if they want to see more healthy, non-obese people walking along the streets. Some may argue that it is a total waste of time in which that short hour or so of exercise can be spent more meaningfully on something that can benefit them. Well, if this physical fitness is monitored evenly throughout the year, then this will provide more room for teachers to aid those who do not meet the basic health guidelines for their specific age group and gender. Currently, the short time frame in which students start preparing for this assessment is almost defintely not sufficient to make drastic improvements.
Especially for the guys, they will be the ones who defend the people, the country. If they do not meet the basic health guidelines, our frontline of defense the drastically disadvantaged. Over the years, statistics have shown that the awareness for healthy lifestyles by exercising has became more widespread which proves to be a good thing. Hopefully, in the near future, this will also be placed as a priority, something in which everyone will find it meaningful, just like how everyone considers education to be a top priority.

I realised that this is going to be super like some thankyou speech after someone receives a grammy award. at least it aitn as scary as the presidential speech. no more ferr me til my handover(:
anyways, yupps, i thank all my teachers who have taught me in the last 2.5 years in nus high, my 8 years in mg, my 3 years in mcik. i had the bestest teachers. starting from mcik, some teachers that i remember. mrs low, mrs ong, mrs tay, ms tan, ms lim, ms tan, ms ham, mrs tan, mrs lee, ms yeo, mrs ong, mrs sim, mr lim, mrs chan, mrs tan, mrs kuah, ms chau, mdm lau, ms cheng, mr sukandar, ms teo, mr chai, mr ng, mr tan, mr lee, ms koh, dr seah, dr tang, ms feng, ms lim, mr ang, ms chua, dr wong, ms tan, mr toh, mr lim, ms sim, mr chong, ms chan, mr valles, ms lam, mr ku, mr soh, i guess i should include pe teachers. okay, i cant remember all offhand. i just realised that most are from nus high. well, i think that i've grown a lot, a lot in this school. i've learnt to be more independent, more mature, more prepared to enter society, i hope. this school is harsh, i admit, which is most probably why we all detest it. after looking back, it really stretched my potential, made me push myself further than i thought i could go. i made friends that i hope will last for a lifetime, i had many ups and downs, i've cried, i've laughed, i've had the most unglam and most glamourous moments in this school. maybe the way this school works is this way. we'll look back and be proud to be a student of this school after we realise what the school have done for us over the years that we've suffered. like what people say, whatever doesnt kill you makes you stronger. honestly, this year i thought, it seems like a big jump from year 4 to year 5. i felt like a senior, and i actually was so scared to leave the school, leave this comfort zone within this school. we spent more than half our day in this school, it becomes a 2nd home.
i look back at the 8 years in mg, maybe you can say i got over it, i moved on. i think i had great times there too, in the sense i had fun, real fun. i made a very good friend, her name is grace lim ci en. we started out bickering like enemies, screaming at her for droppnig my scientific calculator, screaming at her for dropping my mathematical set. started out on the same school bus, she sat at the back of the bus emo-ing while i mixed with the kids in front. somehow we are now such good friends that we can overcome any obstacle that threatens our friendship. we went kap together, we tried to study together, she dug my fridge alone, we laid down to talk about everything and anything for hours when i was leaving mg coz we were so scared we were going to drift apart. THANKS GRACE LIM CI EN FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE!(: really really appreciate you for who you are and for accepting me even though i've been changing so much.
anyways, this was suppose to be for my teachers who helped me to pass with flying flying colours(: yes, chem ap, math ap, thanks a lot(: now i know what it means to suffer first so that you will treasure the joy, the rewards that follow even more.
i'm glad i chose to come to this school, that i didnt choose to go to shanghai to study. i dont know what would have happen but i know that i do not regret my choice of staying in singapore, to com to nus high(: though life is tough, though i've become more spastic than before, i enjoy what i'm doing. i dont want to think about my future, i want to treasure what i have right now, do what i can instead of wasting my prime years hating the school just to look back and realise that i actually quite appreciate the school for what it has done ten years down the road.
BYE!(:

Elitism, its the attitude, the 'pride/conscience people from 'the better schools' have about themselves. Maybe, just maybe, if those students in 'the not so good schools' decided to work much much harder, as much as the elite students do, maybe they will be just as accomplished. maybe it is because these elite students are so caught up with being the cream of the crop, they do not realise that amidst all the efforts they put in to get good results, they neglect the other aspects of life. Maybe that is why many very elite students sometimes complain that others, who are not as elite, compared to them, can get the job in society while they cannot. Those not so elite, though do not invest on their time on those very thick books, they, on the other hand, get to do a lot of hands on work, thus gaining experience, in which that is what most companies probably look for after looking at our paper qualifications. Maybe amidst all the elite students' complains about how their life sucks like crazy, they do not realise that this is actually what they brought upon themselves, to choose to be regarded as the people with potential because they are the elite, they are the special ones who can achieve way more. I'm not implying that no prodigy exist but it needs to be accompanied with hardwork.
I think that the not so elite students are not so caught up with whether they're top in school, but they just want to have serious fun, as in seriously, they engage themselves in the things that they have to do, but in a fun way. They find ways around a boring responsibility of theirs and bring the best out of it. Maybe, this is the kind of attitude elite students ought to adopt, this is the attitude that allows this elite students to actually really bring forth their full potential, when it is accompanied with serious fun, passion, hardwork. The fact that elite students are usually complaining about workload, how life is just so terrible, simply proves the point that they have not found much joy in what they are doing. Maybe some day. but the bulk of them most probably dont, even if they seem like it. Its all about wanting people to perceive them in the 'right way' rather than the weakest link of the elite.
The elite always want to be different, want to be the outstanding people. However, we realise that maybe most of the time those that stand out are those that made a great improvement in their lives or to the lives of others. in other words, they serve with a heart, they put others before self. They find meaning behind their actions, they know more about what they want, rather than just study study and study even more. If we have no purpose, how do we contribute back to society, make a change that will be beneficial to society if we are so caught up with studies and not bothered about the happenings of the society? Maybe the elite ought to take some time to stop and reflect, reflect on their direction,whether they are doing things for themselves or for others, are they loving the life they live. To be outstanding, you ought to be yourself, enjoy your life to the fullest, that way, people see your true self, you never need to worry about putting on a fake front, trying to please people. To make a difference, you dont need to be an elite, all you need is a dream, some creativity and determination to carry out your dream until it turns into reality to benefit this society.

I'm here once again, nothing to do and i know i'm going to have a lot of things to say. in the last, ten hours or so, a lot of things happened. things that made me feel like this whole hostel life was going to get really messy, then something else happened, just when i was thinking about this person, this person came over to do something that, iono whether to believe or not, but i'll just hope its sincere. lets call this person bibi.
anyways, i really really really thank God for salvaging this friendship. i hope its for real, i hope there will no longer be misunderstandings. i missed our friendship, i hope it wont get strained once again. today what happened, i think its worse than what happened between us. i just hope know that you've changed a lot, a lot. i'm trying my best to accept, so lets try to move on and pick up the pieces okay? i'm really quite happy things are settled between us, i hope.
okay, another friend, lets call baba. i know you kind of hte me, think that i cheated your feelings or something, i really didnt mean it, but you never really got the hints i dropped and so i gave up, gave in. i havent heard from you in a really long time, i sincerely want to still be your friend alrights? i mean, you still msg me, say hi, but i can tell how you're protecting yourself from me. i'll be careful not to give you false signals anymore.
also, RYAN GOH! i'm really sorry about what happened, you may not have read it(something that i doubt you'll ever read), but i just hope that somehow things will change, and i hope you somehow find that something that was meant for your eyes only. i doubt you'll even be here, but if you pop by, dont think too much. i guess its no longer impt whether you read it or not. iono whether you've changed, but if you havent, then i dont think you'll be able to analyse why i did what i did. dont think too much, jsut assume it is just as what i said. i want to say a lot a lot of things, about how sorry, i want to tell you why i did it, but life just wont go on as i want it to if you found out. sorry, hope you'll still go to church, your religious believes, your priorities, its up to you to decide, no matter what i say, its nothing powerful enough to help you. this is spoken from the status of someone who used to be your friend.
LEE SONG HENG! HAPPY SWEET 16(: hope your oral examination went fine. you'll always be the first person i want to talk to(: i'll try my best to get a gold ferr napfa and make my sms coach proud! hahahs.
thats all before i leave, i want to leave without having thoughts held back from such an eventful thursday.
