okie dokes...my first post of yr '07!(:
just to remind my few but precious reader, im not a big fan of blogger photo uploader, even though i really want to share the things here with you. plus, when i blog, i do long and detailed posts, so dont expect frequent updates ^.^ thus, for recent pictures of my days here in nz and a short and funked up version of daily happenings, visit
jamie's blog instead(:
of coz, pls be warned that jamie tends to make me look bad. see, makin fun of me is her new hobby this holiday. so dont believe the jokes abt me on her blog. and those dumb pics of a horrible looking girl with no dress sense?
so not me.
thanks.
ok so on with the post!
alot has happened actually,but not exciting enough to be posted. hmm.basically, the family has decided to join the church badminton club and we play every sunday evening. it's cool coz there are ppl of all age groups, so we can always find someone to practise with. but i just feel soo inferior at the practises. coz, like, all the kids are regulars and they're damn pro. but like jamie says, if we become regulars too, we'll get better and better too!(:
the family is getting on really well, but as i inch closer to college days, dad is startin to get on my nerse.
be an all round student. pls. i play, like, 6 different kind of sports and have read a wide range of books. im sry im not hugely competitive in these areas and yes i havent won any major awards. but im just a jack of all trades, master of none, OK??
do well in school because ppl here pay alot of attn to abilities. oh yea like i havent been doing well enough by gettin into EM1 stream (top in class); 263 for PSLE, thus securing a place in NY special stream; good results into sec 2 that allowed me to enter the IP, BSP and triple sci class. come on, trust me. i may go slack for the first few mths. but i never kid with the end of yrs.
it's not hard to get a scholarship.what, just becoz ur fren says so and all ur frens' kids are gettin scholarships into the Ivy League?I'll get a scholarship if i want to and can. i dont need to get a scholarship for you. You're makin me rethink abt goin to sydney for univ. not good, alright. I've made up my mind abt goin in the media direction. There arent many scholarships for that area. hello. reality check. thats not the usual route for most students.
I dont think im gettin much support here.
Stop reading those childish novels and read the newspaper.Im doing both, dad, and i dont see a problem with "childish novels" like harry potter and deltora. They keep a kid's imagination lively. i dont see why i have to lose my ability to fantasise just becoz im growing up. and yes, im goin to continue watchin my fav cartoons like teen titans and yu-gi-oh.
oh, and abt the newspaper? I tried reading, honestly. but just give me more time. i only learnt today that Bagdad is the captial of Iraq, and i learnt that from the show Beauty and The Geek. see? tv IS GOOD.
You need to be more responsible for the puppy.Dad. pls. puppies require attn ALL THE TIME. and unless i sit next to him for 24/7, he'll just keep yelping. oh why dont u try doin that? and am i not supposed to be studying like u told me to? im doin my best ok. just becoz u dont like poops lying around in the garden and suki barking at nth doesnt mean it's my fault. you're not even lifting a hair to help. JUST - BACK - OFF.
the issues gets worse becoz im finding more guts in me. im startin to talk back, which surprises myself. becoz im not used to talkin back. the old me used to just sit and take it. and i swear this change is not becoz of the new environment. i have NOT gone bad. and i DO NOT have anger management issues. and i certainly am not in an identity crisis.
if anything, im seeing my life clearer now. im seeing all the parts where it's screwed, but at the same time, im beginning to appreciate things i never did before. like helping mum prepare meals. except when i have to wash and chop broccoli into weensy eensy bits to make salad. that just stinks. but apart from that, it's been fun.
oh, and little conversations i have with jamie. we sometimes make joyce laugh so hard dad had to yell at us to shut up. and jamie's sense of humour has seriously grown wicked. see, here's how it works between us.
im usually the lame one.
i'll go, "lalalalalalaLALALA
LA~~~!!!" of coz, i wont hit the highest note. so i'll just stop, beam into the air and say, "I think i have the most beautiful voice."
That usually happenes when we're on long walks or when im super bored in the shower. then jamie will respond in something witty or just ur average snappy reply. which will make me laugh like a donkey and she'll blink at me.
"So funny
meh?"
of coz, we take turns. sometimes she plays the idiot spontaneously and my respond will be
stare, blink, roll eyes. then it'll be jamie's turn to laugh her pants off.
so the other day after an especially moronic episode of Jamie and Her Acts, i told her i dont know why anybody except me bothers to even respond to her and her dumbness.
and she said, yea, i dont know why i do that for you too. you must be darn grateful to me.
ok she didnt actually say that, but sth like that.
so yea. me and jamie. yep. we're building a strong rapport.
hmm ok let's see...what else.
OOOOHHH.
jamie is by the window and she said the sky is pinkish purple right now. as in, it's 11pm here. so thats really unusual.
...
yea it's really pinkish-purple. i went to the window to see. so pretty(:
hmm.
-___-"
jame is outside in the garden, waving at me through the window like a lunatic.
ok enough abt her.
i've started designing blogskins again. my first one for this yr will be up soon. forced to be created by the oh-ever-so-pushy jamie. nag.nag.nag. i've yet to finish it. but it will be soon. thanks to the babbling mouth that never stops yaddering next to my ear.
why is my post today FULL of
Jamiecrap???
God save me.
Just knock me out.
