You know there are lots of quotes out there bout friends being like angels? Those quotes juz made me think of something.... If i were an angel, my friends would be like the feathers on my wings. Without them i wouldn't be able to fly. Thanks for all those times you all were there for me, to share my joy, sadness. To get into trouble together and do stupid stuff. To ALL my friends.. thanks for being the feathers on my wings!

Went to kap to study today.. not happy with progress agn. Seriously too tired and not exactly in a very good mood. I still have sooo much to study.. and everytime i do physics i get turned off, nothing seems to go right and nothing seems to go into my head. I know i can't neglect it, but at the rate i'm going.. its darn hard. I'm so scared i can't cover everything before Os, so scared that prelims will repeat itself.. afraid of so many other things. Theres only one week left, one part of me tells me to study while the other part plunges me into this false sense of security that its ok not to study. Something is seriously wrong with my mentality! WAKE UP! I can sense one of those nervous break downs.. but i'm not gonna allow it to happen. Please pray for me.

Chem. practical was quite ok.. except for the fact that i dunno whether the cation is aluminium or zinc. The stupid ppt refused to dissolve in excess aq ammonia so i put my ans as aluminium.. but somehow i think its zinc.. oh man! Quite happy with my titration though got 25.0 for both times.Our A math teacher ms lee wrote us each a letter.. she's sooo sweet! Even our form teacher didn't write any for us. Mine was quite funny...
Dear isabel,
It's been an interesting journey with you for the past 2 years.. you've been like in the zombie zone most of the time.. but luckily now you are back in the land of the living.. just kidding. I've seen that you've really have worked hard for your final lap... Cont. to do so and persevere! You definitely can do it and achieve success soon. Remember the following quote. "men are born to succeed not fail. Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal." Mike Ditka
Continue to persevere and persevere! All the best for O lvls and for your future!
Ms Lee C.P '05

Am i childish? haha.. weird qn to ask.. its all that stupid nat's fault lar! He was asking me what is gonfish (for those who are curious juz ask me) and i sd if i told him he wld call me childish.. and yes.. we started arguing over who was more childish.nat: "what?! you hug soft toy to slp?!" me: "cannot is it?" nat: "So big already still like that! THE CHILDISH YOU and the stupid dolphin." me: "so? at least i dun hang stuff toys on the fan." So he argued back that by doing so it shows that he is sadistic and being sadistic is a sign of maturity! -.- I told aiyun and she sd he has a point! Twang aiyun! you better pass better judgement!
So which is more childish? Hugging stuff toys to slp or hanging stuff toys on the fan? Ok.. this is so lame.. =x

Happily sat in the bus til i realised the bus route was weird quickly got off and fnd out it was 176! ARGH!Studying session was quite ok.. not very happy with my progress though. Talked alot of crap. The stupid joanne kept teasing me.. u stupid GUM DUCK.. you better stop the thing bout "supporting friend" before i pluck off yr beak!! Our day was ruined the moment zhenrong stepped into KAP.. lol.. we were all like oh no! Disaster has struck! zong xie already!
Had dinner with joanne at pizzaa hut and we succeeded in silencing ritik over the china stand. Dinner was really fun, we talked bout lotsa stuff.. lol. Later when i was at the bus stop.. i blurly let the 970 bus drive pass me! i was like stunned after realising how slow my reaction was.
Thankies to danielle for the booklet of bible verses! I really really appreiciate it lots! Thanks zhenrong for the jelly beans! =)

I HATE W1, W2 and W3!ARGH! The stupid bio prac!!! Firstly.. the last time i touched anything related to qn 1 was in sec 3! I totally forgot everything, so i started crapping through out the whole paper. Qn 2 was madness.. they gave us a stupid pen knife to cut a stupid carrot. Dunno why can't we use normal knives. The way i cut the thing looked as if i was murdering it. The comparisons were stupid.. the ans my bio teacher put in the report were really lame... like one is purple and one is orange.
List of accidents:
1. Pushing the pen knife too far back that everything flew out.
2. Spilling hot water all over the examiner's bench. I'm so lucky that it wasn't written in the report. Imagine if that went to cambridge..
3. Dunno doing what to the hand lense.
I seriously felt like a sec 3 doing bio prac. for the 1st time. Although it was stupid... we still had fun to a certain extent.. haha.
Went to essential brews to study.. it was joanne's biggest nightmare (she hates tea) as practically everything had tea in it. We supposed to study but we ended up laughing almost the whole time. The ambience was totally destroyed by us, many a time the silence was broken by roars of laughter. I can't imagine the weirdest things ppl can actually do.. lol! will list them when i have time..

Something pissifying happened today. Although it didn't happen to me i'm still very pissed. Dorcas wasn't feeling well today, so she cldn't really stand properly, she accidentally knocked the canteen bench down which fell with a loud crash when she stood up. My sch has a very bad habit of making some stupid noise whenever the canteen bench falls, but there weren't alot of ppl, so nobody really sd anything. However, i heard the distinct sound of spiteful laughter coming from a certain someone frm the other end of the canteen. She laughed so darn bloody loudly and in such a sarcastic manner! Like what is WRONG with "her"?! We did the civilised thing of ignoring "her". Firstly, whats so funny bout knocking down the canteen bench? 2ndly, Dorcas wasn't feeling well. What if she was the 1 who knocked it down and everyone laughed at her, how wld she feel? Why can't some ppl be more understanding and put themselves in others shoes? Anyway that person has always been like that since i knew "her" frm day 1, i really can't stand ppl like "her". The last time aiyun burned her leg, she made a very mean comment, "aiyo! how can anyone be so stupid to spray insecticide and on the lighter at the same time? To think shes frm A class!" So what? When you are in a state of panic, say a leech on yr leg, your 1st reaction is to get it off ASAP. Who wld actually stop and think insecticide + fire = explosion? I think with ppl like "her" she might even try an even dumber method such as yanking the leech off.
The world is filled with ppl who think so highly of themselves and act as if they were the axis of the earth. Somebody pls do something bout "her" EGO!

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled 3 pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the 1st, she placed carrots, in the 2nd she placed eggs, and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them boil, without saying a word. In about 20 min. she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.Turning to her daughter, she asked, "tell me, what do u see?" "carrots, eggs and coffee," she replied.
She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked. "What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity - boiling water- but each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside becam hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am i?
Am i the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do i wilt and become soft and lose my strengh? Am i the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did i have a fluid spirit, but after a trial, have become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside i am bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am i like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavour. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to another levle? How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
