Mostly photography.

Better hurry, I'm racing against time. Ten minutes till they cut the internet connection.

I miss these. (Left to right: My Alhambra, my beloved, my dad's bass, my electric, my uncle's super old guitar.)

Surprisingly, I miss CNY a lot now. It's like I'm missing out on all the ang paus and lion dances and good food (though I did bring loads back here).
At my first uncle's house. My fourth uncle is holding my brother in the picture below. Yes, my mum has seven brothers. Have to call them by order of birth.

Oh, and check out the super cute bubbles during our Physics practical on Wednesday.

Media club was fun. Had to go around school during one of the ice-breaking games, looking for things that matched pictures they gave us then taking pictures of the scene right opposite it.
Since most of you guys in Brunei wonder what my school looks like... Up there is the concourse, from the General Office. Down there is the hostel car park.

People talking. Picture was taken from the view of one of the oranges hanging from the trees they put there for CNY outside the hostel gate.
Hostel gate on the right with people on the left. Say hi to the oranges.
And a bit of the path leading towards to hostel from school.
Last but not least, the pizza we ate when it was all over.

Yum. Saved me from hostel food tonight.

It wasn't me, it was noodles.

I'm in the school library now.

I seem to be going from one library to another; I was at the Jurong East Library two hours ago, waiting for Ivy's parents to pick us up. Thank you Ivy's parents.

Why on earth would I be there, you ask?

Ivy, Miao Jing, Cheryl and I felt obliged to actually start our Bio essay (Rania couldn't come; she had a netball match to win).

There was this awfully weird book called "How Animals Do It". I forget the author/cartoonist, but all I know is that he's extremely funny and has an extremely dirty mind to go with it.

I wrote three quarters of a page on the human reproductive system, so we can compare it to that of a blue sea star (or maybe honey bee?) and killer whale (orcinus orca, yo. Man, scientific names manage to make one sound cooler and nerdier at the same time).

It's terribly sickening to write a terribly detailed description of human anatomy (especially the reproductive systems), because, do we, normal people, really want to know what goes on when we do things?

But then again, without this, many babies and women would've died by now. So I would like to say thank you to the sick person who was actually brave enough to investigate this matter in the first place.

I'm writing my BM newspaper report thing now, derived from a newspaper article. I'm doing the one on F1. 'Cause I is still lovin' it to da max (not BM, F1!).

Aisyah and I are doing two articles, one on a library book delivering thing and the F1 one. The one with Kimi's pic.

Heard the MYBs sold ice cream today for charity. That's super cool, guys. Wish I was there.

I miss MS.

But NUSH is all right.

NUSH of Gaming and Entertainment.

I watched American Idol again just now. 

Ms Queenie invited us to her room for CNY. Her only words to coax me into finishing off my Physics graph were "Want to watch American Idol?"

Those words are like magic. The power of wanting to watch ridiculously hilarious television shows (like The Simpsons, House, et cetera) increases efficiency by seventy percent (not accurate). Besides, I work as slow as a snail sleep-crawling. 

I honestly need to start sleeping earlier, but it just doesn't work out any more. Need to re-analyse my sleeping pattern.

Oh, and I just remembered: I posted already just now. 

So what on earth am I doing here?

Being jobless, of course.

Jung Min, Chang Yoon and I thought up of two new schools today. 

The first was NUS High School of Scouting because both of them were given their third choice of CCA: Scouts.  Pretty weird, because their first choice was Robotics.

The second school was NUS High School of Gaming and Entertainment, where it's so terribly cool and awesome. Requirements are a state-of-the-art laptop, gaming keyboard and mouse and plenty of cash (as to pay us, the "owners" of the school).

Then, we would have no exams, and CA would be 100%. 

Continuous Assessment, of course, would consist of the following:

- Game playing.

- Catching legendary Pokémon.

- Leveling up two levels in any one game for homework.

- Assignments would consist of downloading games.

- Group projects would require one to play Wii with your friends and throw a party then "kill the boss" (Chang Yoon's idea, don't look at me).

- Studying would decrease your CAP.

- Exercise is also essential, because exercise is good for you.

- Electives would include Counter Strike, The Sims 3 (in the future), and World of Warcraft (because we say so). And probably Spore as well. Need to buy it when I see it in stores for Mac. 

- Students who want to graduate or pass into the next year would have to win a game against one of the teachers.

- Question papers would have questions like this: "What powers does this character have?", "How much memory does this game take up?" and for Year 6, "Who created this game and who was the first to reach level 100?"

Stuff like that would rock.

Runny nose.

The border between Brunei air and Singapore air is the smell of the plane. Which means I can't compare directly. Though I believe Brunei has a grassier, fresher smell.

Chinese New Year was fun, but I guess it's over (relatively, at least, for me) for this year. Have to wait till next year for more lion dances, pointless games of Monopoly and such.

I've got my guitar here with me. My dad insisted I bring the Alhambra, because he likes it more and he's biased. Well, not exactly, but he says I should use it more often because it's got better resonance and is more expensive.

I've been calling my older guitar "the other guitar". That's so sad. I miss my beloved, I really do. It just needs cleaning up and new strings, that's all. It's a pretty guitar. 

The one I have now is more... how do I say it, darker, deeper and beautiful?

I don't really know, actually.

We had pot luck in class this morning. Miao Jing brought dumplings. Yum. I liked 'em, but my throat's kinda sore and I've got a cough (I lost my voice yesterday morning), so I didn't feel like eating. 'Twas a pity. They were good.

What else?

We boiled water during Physics. Which reminds me, I've got a graph to do and tables to draw. Due before flag-raising tomorrow. Crud.

We've got a CNY thing at Ms Queenie's place after Study Time. She told me we can watch American Idol again. Yay.

I gotta go. Want to practice some songs.

Adieu.

Night of the 30th.

I've been busy, still am, and probably will be tomorrow.

But not too busy to drop by and wish you all 

a prosperous, luck-filled Year of The Ox 

and an angpau-filled happy 

Chinese New Year

from yours truly.

Feels good to be back. 

.....Oh, by the way, I finished my Math assignment.

Finally.

Home sweet home.

Wow. I can't get over the fact that my iMac screen is super large compared to my MacBook. And that I seem to have forgotten how to use the mouse.

I don't think I've got enough time to spend here.

I want to go see the MS peeps, but CNY will take up all my time for now.

Probably be back in March though. Longer stay. =)

Missin' you guys in MS and our stupid jokes.

Brunei air smells good, I tell you. Nothin' fresher in the mornin'. 

I slept through most of my ride on the plane. Hated the bit at the end where my left ear hurt like hell. Stupid pressure in ear wouldn't go 'pop' like it always does.

Went numb for a few days. Got so sick of my hearing being muted that I held my nose and blew in Hua Ho, where both my ears kind of exploded and I could hear again. 

Yay. 

I can't tell whether I'm dreading the plane ride back to S'pore or not. I kind of miss them people at the hostel but I've got no time to dwell upon it. 

Honestly, nothing feels better than home.

Even when it's my messed up, dysfunctional, crazy, noisy home.

Home sweet home is sweet indeed.
