C'est un truc

Everytime I think I have time on my hands I realise (very unfortunately) that IT IS ALL A TRICK and I don't. because it feels like just yesterday I finished my exams and now I am just 3 days away from my math paper + french o-level orals. I am scared. well, no actually I'm not I think I'm supposed to though.

I am not feeling panicky I have been steadily doing math I don't think I'm very prepared but it's alright, fairly o.k. because my math is beyond rescue anyway. I don't even know how it ended up that way; must've slacked too much this year. I'm not stupid. :( but yes, time is not my friend.

sushi is my friend and companion. especially when i do work. but you can just about see how productive we were. 1) jean's sleepy face 2) joey n her leica 3) 20 pieces of sushi for myself after a smoked burger mistakenly gotten by joey (in terms of size o sushi) because I phrased myself wrongly... on a day we went to jean's place to do math. in the end it was good and i enjoyed myself v much.

in terms of my french I can only feel extremely inadequate because I am lacking in skill. but I am determined to improve that within T-2 days. How? dunno. I am appalled that I cannot function properly in another language (everytime I make this same realisation I thank God I can express myself in ONE language adequately, because goodness knows I need expression). Wouldn't it be great if there was a brain.google.com? or even better: translatejody.google.com. EXTREMELY HELPFUL, IN FACT. (if you're already thinking of all the possible controversies, please just.. don't go there.)

If that were possible though, imagine the amazing things we could do. maybe not websites. maybe just programmes. for a functional human brain.

JodyCT, critical thinker...

you get the idea.

The above were highly undeveloped thoughts I didn't even think of until the point were I typed it out. totally random brainstorming. not very fantastic, but whatever, you come up with something better.

Over the course of my mingling and chit chatting I have also realised I am not a very kind girl. I enjoy listening to racist jokes very much because I find them so hilarious and stereotypes on their own are already so funny, so stereotypes + jokes = zomghahahahahahahalaughfest

That is not to say I am racist. because I am almost certain I am not. I like the jokes, I do not hesitate making them (although I will watch myself here, and around people I am unfamiliar with - okay so I guess that means I do hesitate. but that's just what humans have to do to survive you know). I do not avoid other ethnic groups, in fact, I have many friends who are not chinese. and please, so many chinese jokes around as well (so funny.)

and and people need to appreciate the funny in life. because it is soooooooo~ :-)

I find I am blabbering incoherently because I am probably slightly (only very slightly) tired. I do not have school tomorrow because I have no options and no core lessons hurrah for paper checking. however, I will wake up at the normal time (or attempt to for 15 minutes and wave goodbye to my lovely sis and boyboy) to wish my sis and boy boy all the very very best for their PSLE which begins as of tomorrow. D: kids are very hardworking. these 2 of my favourite kids are extremely hardworking (o.k. boy boy tries) and I hope they find the papers a breezy piece of pie.

Last Saturday I went to Haji Lane with yoke because I have never seen the place and yoke wanted to learn how to navigate a dslr. It was good fun and I will put the pictures up another day because as I speak, my eyes are shutting and the world is disappearing.

Tomorrow I will go to toa payoh library and jean is going to join me (just like old times ;)) and we will do math.

really.

If you had only 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

Funny, I've been asked this before. I think some random stranger on omegle first time I was there. and he said he'd smoke weed while watching the world burn. or was that his answer to "it's the end of the world! what do you do?" ok nevermind. If I had 24 hours I would definitely ditch school and hang out with my family. we would take ten thousand gazillion pictures and I would write goodbye notes to people who mattered (writing notes for the first n last time in my life) and then I'd go on facebook during my last minute and update my status to "is dead" and fall dead clicking the button.

honestly, I don't know. I hope I never have to know when I die.

Ask me anything

I wanna do it again

Today it occurred to me that I am right-down-to-my-very-core kiasu. In fact, many of me (haha many of me) and my friends are. We sign up for every exam available, and I have no idea why. It's as if we want to get ourselves all stressed up and shit. but then again, with every exam being over we get another blast of sweet relief and I think it is this that makes everything worthwhile. The question of why we sign up for all sorts of shit (O levels SATs proficiency tests?!) remains unanswered but I think there are always nuggets of amazing experiences (however teeny) that make stress worthwhile.

On wednesday joey and I went over to jean's place for the first time and I enjoyed myself tremendously whilst all the while doing math. we had smoked burgers (which I adored and unfortunately gobbled down too quick for a picture) and sushi and sang loudly with ipods and phones plugged into a funtastic set o' speakers. I don't think I've ever enjoyed math more than that day.

:-) :-) :-) look three smileys with noses just to prove it.

today is/was children's day, something I am supposed to be too old for, and maybe that's true because I spent it at french class ho-oh. It was the final class oOo I'm glad I went because this marks the end of the 4 years I've been at MOELC learning a fun frisky fantastic fawesome french language. I wouldn't say I'm the best at I am still unbelievably careless and stupid when it comes to grammar but IT IS OK. because. well if I didn't read I'd be shit at english too because I know zero, zip, zilch about the RULES OF ENGLISH. Once again I am so grateful for my teacher because he is cool and does not look down on me (at least I don't think so) and I think I just might do OK for my O-levels!

~~and so I have been spending the past 2 weeks at options (reel reading, the american century, physics myth busters) which has resulted in me having a lot of free time, because my timetable is such that I have a killer monday (all 3 options, yo) a movie tuesday (Reel Reading yay. it's like, film study stuff extremely kewl and exciting) and an o.k. thursday with the other 2 options. I'm glad I did not let myself get influenced by other people because I am lovin' my options and I am getting to know new people; learning more about these people outside my circle.

I'm having so much fun.
