Cleo... ='(

I must be outta my mind. I actually missed the -art is blind- exhibition. I think I'm getting too plucky for my own good. Probably too obsessed with the study skills course. Ah what the heck. I GOT MELVIN AND RAMESH'S AUTOGRAPH! Me and Shumei kinda started a 'trend'. We were the first to ask them for the signature. Some girls saw and all of them were crowding round them for one too. Soon everyone was queuing up for autos. Gab went up to speak. I'm prouda her. She actually had the guts to go up and say what her heart felt in front of all parents. I'm proud of you man. Rock on! =D

Anw, when I came home the dog had already arrived. If I didnt say, my parents agreed to get one, a Shih Tzu puppy. Its really cute. But when I let her smell my hand to get familiar with me, she actually turned around and lay down with her back to me. She was taking really deep breaths, and I could tell she was crying. It really broke my heart. I really wonder how terrible the puppy must have felt. I feel really awful whenever I was to be away from my family for a couple of days, and if the puppy were to stay, she wont be able to see her brothers and sisters or mother ever again. But in the night she got abit attached to my grandpa as she slept at his feet last night. So. Ya. I hope she gets used to the house and new people soon. But my grandma changed her mind bout letting her stay on just a couple of minutes ago. I think she thinks taking care of the dog is too much work. Mom told us it was a good chance to practise responsibility. I hope grandma changes her mind bout sending the dog back. Its only a one and a half feet long, and so cute. We even named her together last night. Her name's Cleo. Short for Cleopatra. Mainly because my grandma's old dog was called Caesar. So thats like.. Yeah. Anw.. I hope grandma's mind will change and she'll let the dog stay on. Probably cos its not toilet-trained. She got rather pissed last night.

Mmm. Anw I gotta get going. Hafta study for a humans retest and prove owster wrong. He keeps saying I talk so much, bout how I am so motivated after the course, and yet I still failed my test. Agh! Beaver Ow, watch out! I will prove u wrong!

Mom probed bout Isabelle. I told her everything that happened. I couldnt keep it to myself any longer. I needed to get some adult advice. But she was also stumped. She said Isabelle was too gullible. She also included that if she carries on like this, she has no idea how her life will be like. Isabelle is slowly srewing up her life. But if she doesnt care, why should I? Makes sense?

Havent been updating lately. Been burying myself in books and stressing out every hair on me. That is like, rather alot considering I'm quite hairy for a girl. I dont like my hair.

I have this art exhibition and talk scheduled tomorrow and I dont even know the time I'm supposed to be in school. Gah. I'd rather be listening to Ramesh and Cherie crack jokes. Maybe I'll give the talk a miss. But its really if I can or not. Mdm Lim will have my hide if I dare miss it.

Speaking of Mdm Lim, she has been nagging in my ear for the past few days. Everytime someone doesnt do what is required of him or her, she would come to me and convey her messages to the slackers through me. And she keeps nagging! Argh!

OH MY GOSH!! I cant believe what my dad just said to me! He told me that I should actually stop studying!! Muahaha. I never got that in my life! That was the first time someone ever said that to me. He told me to go outside to watch abit of tv. And guess what I said - no.

I was at my table doing work ranging from chinese homework to maths homework to geography homework to studying for chinese to studying for chemistry. I told my dad to bring me home straight from church, and I sat down on my table from 1 till now, thats like, 5-6 hours!! And I actually want to carry on studying my chemistry! Ohmygosh. I didnt even stop studying cept to talk to people who talked to me on msn. I cant believe it. That course turned my life around 180 degrees so that I was pointing in the right direction.

I nearly gave up on my geog homework becasue I couldnt find the answer anywhere. And when I was about to close my book I remembered what Ramesh said, "do everything 100%" and I flipped the book opened and tried again. This time I looked at the text more carefully, and soon I found the answer. I'm so happy today. That course changed my life. I even find that I enjoy studying. Once you like it and put your mind to it, it comes so easy. You find you can understand everything. I can almost see myself passing chemistry and chinese. Well. Not that far-fetched I guess. Slowly lar hor. But I'm real glad. The feeling of being praised is awesome. I never want this enthusiasm to study to end. Cos I know it'll benefit me. I hated studying last time, I dont know why. I'm so inspired and proud of myself. I may cry.

I'm not superstitious or anything, and I dont wear four-leave clovers, carry horse-shoes or rabbit's foot around. But I think this bad luck thing is rather catching.

My phone was taken home. My phone was used to sms someone using my name. My phone was used without my permission. I scolded that person out of fury. That person is angry with me. That person doesnt think she is wrong at all. All my messages gets erased. I never got to see my received sms that were meant for me. I accidentally whack Sherlyn across the face. I forgot to study for my Physics test. I failed my maths by 3 marks. I didnt study for the re-test. The re-test turns out to be harder than the previous one. I lose my temper at a friend. We dont talk anymore. Isabelle comes online and tells Jonathan she is angry with me and Weilong. There's mural and I hardly did anything. I get a back ache from washing up. My shirt gets more stained with paint. I forget to take off my skirt and paint gets on that too. I had to walk up 3 levels because no one wanted to get the scrapper for the paint. When I come down with it it gets taken away and refused to be given back. There is still abit of mouldy paint smell lingering. And I h a t e the paint smell! Its totally revolting and I have study skills for three days for 14 hours in school for each day. Arg.

This isnt my day. Or rather, week. Nothing's going right.

And I think I have a pimple on my chin. =(

I "scrubbed" the wall with my bare hands like what Jinli did to blend in the colors, to get the right tone. Rub till some skin on my palm got rubbed off. Ouch. And when I was ridding the tables of paint with thinner, some went into that exposed skin. That hurt purty bad too. Had ta wait to stop the stinging.

And now I've got a darn cold. Shit. Feel like crap. Of all days why did I get sick when the hols start?? And I'm going out on Tuesday, too. With Weilong, the larb lady and Jon. They want to watch "The Village". But I dont want to!! So scary.. I'd probably cry in there. haha. Nah, just joking. I want to watch something nicer. My mom said I know I'd be scared after I watch it and regret it later, so why even bother. Yeah. Maybe I'll try to persuade them to change the movie.

And I have batik on Wednesday and I have not started sketching my final piece yet.. And I got some inspiration from the internet. But its gonna be real hard and confusing to draw and I'm too lazy to get started. Maybe tomorrow, yeah? I'm gonna sleep the whole day away today. I want this darn cold to go away and I cannot feel my hands.

Isabelle, Xiu Feng and I combed the whole of Tiong to find suitable presents for Sherlyn and Jonathan. Why must their birthdays be so close?? Its only a day apart. Had to go get money. Sighhhh. But when me and Isabelle found ideal presents we screamed and slapped hi-5s. Jonathan and Zhengyong joined us later. It was rather fun, all five of us. It was like old friends reuniting. haha. Nola just joking. But it was fun. We played the barbaric version of "scissors, paper, stone". I played with Jonathan. His knuckles were so hard that when I hit him once my thumb bruised. Geez. But it was fun. We crapped and all. That was when I felt the happiest. I would always feel the happiest when Jon's around. Yeah.

Shucks, I think I failed my humanities test. Beaver said so. Haisss. But who's to blame but myself. I didnt study enough. Oops. Speaking of studying I didnt study for my chinese test tomorrow!! Oh no oh no oh no!! Sigh. Die sia. Gonna fail two tests. Grrr.

And I just read Gab's diary. Her personal one. Very, very, very personal. She let me read and after I read it I was rather speechless. Her journal brought me into a world of the uimaginable. Geez. Her journal told me the hidden story of the sister I thought I knew. I found out many things that happened. And, yeah, I was rather shocked.

I know God can determine who suffers and who doesnt. I wish He'd transfer all of Gab's to me. Mine's alot, so some more wouldnt matter. I wish Gab wouldnt "suffer" like that. Sigh. All the love probs concerned her best friend too. Best friend. Sighhh. Poor Gabby.

And Isabelle has my handphone!! *weeps. She took it home by mistake I guess. She was at Outram in her dad's car when she sms-ed Jon. Sigh. When I called her she couldnt seem more reluctant to come back to Tiong and return it to me. When I told her to give it back to me tomorrow I thought I heard a hint of relief in her voice. Puh-lease. Her dad has a car and she's only at Outram. Thats what, one stop away from Tiong with the MRT. With cars it'll be even faster. Hope she doesnt use my phone. The sms rate will shoot to the ceiling and when the bill comes it wont be the only thing to hit the ceiling. My mom'd freak. And I feel like something's missing without my phone to tote around. =(

Yeah and I guess Joshua has a new girl. He isnt my ex but Isabelle kept insisting that it was. Hey, who was his "ex"? Who knows better? You probably dont even understand what "annul" means. Sheesh. Stop assuming stuff bout my life, kay? Its getting on my nerves. And only a few are left. The others are squashed flat by you already. Keep it up, you're getting there. Note the sarcasm. Yeah so Joshua has a new girl. So whats new?

Because of some stupid mural Mdm Lim wont allow me to play in the interclass that is going to take place on Thursday. I thought I was able to go for the interclass as all CCA were cancelled because of it. Assuming I was free from badminton and mural to take part in the Captain's Ball, I agreed and Xiu Feng put my name down. Now? Mdm Lim wont let me take part. Rubbish. She say let the reserves play. Why are reserves down in the first place. They dont want to play so they are down as reserves. The girls wont play at all. What she want me to do then.

And that Isabelle. Will use my handphone everyday without fail. To call her dad or sms her Alson. If I'm with her and I put my phone down, she will definitely assume that I would lend her the handphone, so she didnt even bother to ask. And today. She took my phone and called her dad. Her dad dun pick up and she keep frowning and keep saying that her dad very idiot, dont pick up the phone. Please. Maybe he was busy or something. And she keep calling and calling. I think total 4-5 calls. Not your handphone you wont be annoyed lar. You think its free just because its a friend's? Think again. I made a deal with Xiu Feng a couple of minutes ago. If she does something that is annoying to others but not to herself, we will correct her till she is corrected. If she doesnt correct herself soon when she grow up she will not have any friends at all. Lucky for her me and Xiu Feng has high tolerance. If the both of us had high blood pressure, I think the vein in our temple would have burst. Aaron and Sherlyn doesnt have that same high tolerance as us. But now I've had it up to here. I'm not sure about Xiu Feng though. And I think if we correct her for every mistake we'd go nuts. Ah well. I have to conserve fuel for tomorrow and the rest of my time with her.

And I hope I pass my essay.

I would give an accound of yesterday. But I already talked about it in my other diary. Too lazy to type here.

It was fun, overall. Funfairs arent so bad after all. Sigh. Back hurts from the tennis balls. Toopid sister and her toopid friend. Dunno how to aim and end up hitting my back. Pain you know.

Okay lar thats it I guess. See ya another time. Ciao.
