(1) BRENDA G. LIVES IN THE SAME BLOCK OF FLATS AS MR SEARLE.
I find it sadly amusing, but Yi Ling thinks that it's not good if he finds out. Both of us don't understand why, maybe it's something like October 19 babies, our brains must work differently. Hold on, if we both don't understand it, it makes us the majority, instead of the minority. Maybe her brain works weird.
Do you know what this means? It means that I have some weird connection with Mr Searle, outside of the fact that he teaches me English. D: On that note, I think I bombed my English mock paper. Hah.
(Brenda G. uses those really annoying animation thingies that make it super hard to read what she types. I usually get quite annoyed with them but I love Brenda G. so I'm not going to complain about it.)
(2) Ms Law is a ManUtd fan.
WHUT. D: Why does thou mock me, fate? Why couldn't it have been our Chinese teacher or something? Why must it be the teacher of my favourite subject? D: adlfja;lkdjfadf
I must catch up on Arsenal matches soon.

So I read some post about how Metze needed staples on the pitch for a wound on his head or something (that's about the most that I gathered, the English was not really comprehensible), and I click on the youtube link that was provided in the post where Metze was speaking Spanish.
I was quite astonished because I only just recently heard Metze speak English, and my reaction was something like, "METZE CAN SPEAK SPANISH TOO?!?!?!?!??!!?" Bernice was being a bit blur so I told her, "Apparently he was hit quite hard on his head..." (Is this accurate? I don't understand Spanish! And like I said, that poster's English was not the best D:) and she continued my sentence with, "and then he started speaking Spanish?"

Good stress v Bad stress... from Reader's Digest!
Like I told my dad, "I'm buying Reader's Digest because I want to make a change in my life." (But to be perfectly honest, I bought it because it had a male gymnast and the Olympic rings on the cover, but it seemed like an appropriate thing to say. I mean, it's Reader's Digest!)
And I realised that all the stress I'm under right now is bad stress.
(insert pathetic face here)
Like I really even needed a book to tell me that. But whatever, it serves as confirmation for the cynics.
Serene told Mrs Yeo in class today that she was studying something around 14 hours a day during the holiday, and it elicited much laughter from the class. The idea that someone could devote so much time out of 24 hours to study is honestly, quite ridiculous. I was laughing at it too... until I realised that I was doing the same thing.
I think it's making me a bit desperate to do something drastic after the exams to celebrate my freedom. I was thinking of using the money I've saved to get something nice, but there are just too many things to choose from. A MBMJ watch or a YSL wallet? A new MP3 player or contribute to my mom's iMac fund? A pair of shoes or a pair of Kusbi jeans? And besides, like we just learnt in CME this morning, material objects only bring momentary joy.
So I was thinking, maybe I'll hold a major House marathon with everyone I know who shows even a little bit of interest in House, but that's not exactly too drastic, is it? It's what I do during the holidays when I don't have to study (harhar).
Maybe I'll re-do my room.

Arsenal v Twente and Arsenal v Newcastle
4-0, and 3-0!
That makes it 7 goals in 2 games whilst maintaining a clean sheet! Pretty good after the Fulham match. :) This morning Robin scored two and Denilson got his first league goal! :D I haven't watched the matches yet (thank you, exam period), and I so very smartly forgot to record the Newcastle match. But what the hell Robin?!?!?! Arsene says that he's going to go for an x-ray to see if his ankle is broken. I'm going to pray like hell that it isn't, but knowing Robin...
The People report that Arsene is interesting in loaning Metze from Real! My heart says yes, since I love the man and I would love to see him at Arsenal, but my head tells me that he gets injured too much. We don't need a good defender who is going to be Rosicky II, but then it's Metze! D: Great.
Oh yeah! How wonderful is it that Starhub is finally playing the Bundesliga? :D Because of it, I just realised that Kehli is the captain of Borussia Dortmund! And that Dortmund's stadium looks freaking HUGE!
Anyways, the reason I didn't watch the match yesterday was because I was out the whole day and I felt damn guilty about not studying for the exams at all. D: In the morning I had this Expanding Your Horizons talk thing which I am sure that is to convince us to join Seagate if we decide to pursue a career in engineering or something. Then I had Subway for lunch, watched an episode of House, and went for AGI at Dunman. Which was around the Buona Vista/Holland Road area, which brings back terrible memories of being half-awake and trying and failing to use a mircopipette successfully.
My mom said that she wanted to go to Dinner at Suntec after AGI so I brought along a dress and heels to change into. Which, if anyone has half a brain can tell (I obviously didn't), presented a problem in itself BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE WOULD BE IN THEIR T-SHIRTS AND SLIPPERS OR WHATEVER AFTER AGI. And I just had to decide to wear heels to afdl;jal;fdkja;sldf Why not Chucks or flats, for goodness sake? Heels. Vanity is a bitch, I tell you.
But I braved weird stares and Yuan Yee and Joan trying to not-so-sneakily take pictures of me and rushed out of Dunman after changing to find my papa. Then he said that Suntec was super crowded so we decided to go to Holland Village... which was also super crowded. The story of my life. But my dad had a genius idea left and we went to this place quite close to Holland Village THAT IS THE BEST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO.
That place is so freaking awesome. The tables were softly lit with candles and there was a fountain and real frogs croaking and it was under the stars and everything. It wasn't too cold or too hot and oh yeah, did I mention?, the food was AMAZING. It literally had us moaning in pleasure (take that whichever way you want to)! Everything was superb -- from the foie gras to the main courses to the deserts. Bernice and I finished the salad, and we both pick out taugay from our food -- what does that tell you?
And I don't even know the name of the place, hahaha. I'm a genius!
AND JUST BECAUSE MY INTERNET IS NOW FIXED, HERE ARE SOME PICTURES. (You cannot imagine how much I've missed Photobucket.)
Matthew Mitcham
I'm still unhappy with Starhub for cancelling the Men's 10m platform diving. >:( Who wants to perv at women's diving?
Casey Taylor
Urgh, he's so gorgeous, but come on, hanging out with Lindsay Lohan? Nobody's perfect.
Matt B. (with Casey in the background, whoo)
Lars!
Belinda: I shall try my best not to die of jealousy.
Bernice: POOMPAH! That's the sound of you combusting.
Lars + Aston Martin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christian Bale!

Procrastinating against studying is fun
Well, not really, because I always feel damn guilty about wasting time, but doing stuff on the computer (like blogging and watching Matthew M. videos!) is fun.
It figures that one of the hottest guys at the Olympics is gay and taken. Ruth was so disappointed when I told her that. "WHAT?!?! MATTHEW MITCHAM IS GAY?!?!?!?!?! WHY ARE ALL THE GOOD-LOOKING ONES EITHER GAY OR TAKEN?!?!" <--- or something to that effect. Ruth, my sister and I are all of the opinion that just because a guy is gay doesn't mean he's not good-looking. We're just sore that he's not there for the taking.
My sister came up with a stupid theory because she could tell at first glance that Matthew M. (must write Matthew M. or Matt M. because there's Matt L. and Matt B. too and when I come back to read my posts a year later I don't want get confused and be all "WTF WAS I WRITING?!") was gay and I couldn't. And it is that smart people, those people with high IQs and thus who can think with their brains instead of their sexual organs have perspective, and therefore have good gaydars. People who are perverts have terrible gaydars because they don't have perspective, plus they naturally assume that everyone is there for their taking. (Perspective here obviously refers to a person's ability to not visibly drool at the sight of a gorgeous person.)
She obviously thinks she's smart and that I'm a pervert. (sigh) And she backs up her theory with the fact that I recognised Matt M. in some video because I remember his blond head connected to the swimming trunks that had "AUSTRALIA" printed on the back. In my defence, it was his defining trait amongst all the other divers!
And it's not my fault that the Olympics taught me to look at men this way:
(1) Look at his body. (This works especially well if it's an event that involes the wearing of tight-fitting outfits, such as diving or gym. Is it really that big a coincidence that I enjoy watching diving and gym? Probably not.)
(2) Watch the athlete's performance.
(3) If you enjoy both, then look at his face.
So, obviously, this is how I noticed Matthew M.:
(1) "Look, another random diver whose name I cannot register or process! Oh gosh, his six pack is beautiful/divine/a work of art (NOMNOMNOM). Okay I know he's Australian not because the commentator's going on about it but because AUSTRALIA is printed on the back of his swimming trunks."
(2) "WOAH. DUDE. THAT WAS AN AWESOME DIVE."
(3) "Oh my, he's cute. Really really cute".
THE 10M DIVING WILL BE SHOWN TOMORROW ON CHANNEL 1/THE PREVIEW CHANNEL AT 10A.M. FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY MATTHEW M.'S CUTENESS. WTF STARHUB WHY DID YOU JUST CANCEL IT AND REPLACE IT WITH WOMEN'S SYNCHRONISED 10M DIVING?!?!?!?!?!?!??!! THE PROGRAMME AFTER IT IS WOMENS 3M SYNCHRONISED DIVING! WE DON'T NEED SO MUCH WOMEN'S DIVING, GIVE US SOME MAN MEAT, KTHNX. (I actually have a theory about why it was cancelled. Ask me! It's so fun that I probably shouldn't, and won't, post it on a public webpage.)
(Okay I really must get back to mugging. I'll try to follow this up with a nice picspam & info post if my stupid internet finally allows Photobucket to load.)

Best day in school
I know it's not common to put the words "best" and "school" in the same sentence without a negative, but the 27/8/08 was THE best day of school. Ever. (<-- Not sarcasm) If school were like that everyday then sign me up! I'd probably be the first to arrive in the classroom... or something like that.
You know why school was so enjoyable?
Because we watched A Midsummer Night's Dream for English Lit. The one with Christian Bale in it. Yes, the one where he appears naked near to the end of the moive. (Even though the most of what I remember of the movie is his beautiful face), it actually helped me to separate Demetrius' and Lysander's lines. So this proves that watching interesting (coughs) movies aids in learning!
Just think about it. We could watch Fight Club in English (there would be SO much to talk about, omg), Shakespeare in Love in English Lit, and so on! It would be kinda hard to fit something into Math, but Math (for me) is pretty fun anyways.

HOUSE SEASON 4!
IT'S HERE.

AS;LDFJAS;DFLJASL;DKFJASL;KDJFASL;JFDA;LSKDJF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Along with Prison Break Season 3 but I'm really disappointed that it's only 13 episodes. What the hell I want to see more of Wentworth's beautiful face!)
I was expecting it around mid-September or early October but :D :D :D :D :D I'm so happy! But then I got to study for EOYs and shit and ARGH D: At least the holidays are coming and I can afford to spend more time in a half-awake half-asleep state to watch my DVDs. Quite obviously, I need to get my priorities in order.
Other than PB and House, the past few days have been pretty good as well. On Friday (the last day of the IMCB thing, thank goodness!), I saw this really gorgeous guy at the MRT station, and I was smart enough to follow him into the same carriage! :D I guess there is no need to state that the carriage was nearly fully packed :D He looked like Panayiotis, omg.
And on Saturday, on the way home from doing our Service Learning at Henderson Community Centre, I saw a Lamborghini! That takes my tally up to two Lamborghinis seen in Singapore! :D :D And in front of it was a Jaguar, which is pretty darn awesome. I was making so much fuss over it that I caused this old man to turn around and look at what was going on, hahahahahaha!
I have tons of pictures to post by my mom set some security thing on the computer and I can't access it or hotmail now. Great.
WTF ARSENAL. FULHAM?!?!?!?!?!
