i feel as if i'm looking at the world from the bottom of a well
OR
it could be the monster ballet exam looming VERY VERY VERY close!!! O.O so monstrous is this exam that, despite its already too fast for comfort approach, it insists on arriving sooner than it's supposed to. ms leong just called and told us that the exam in now AN HOUR earlier than expected. as if it being two whole months earlier than i expected isn't bad enough. ish bssh pfftf. have decided to go for math on the day because i need something to take my mind off the nerves. sitting in math class pretending to do math is way healthier for the mind than sitting at home ripping tissue into shreds.
oh we had a free day today which didnt quite turn out to be a free day because i went to college anyway even though i didnt have to go to college today because it was a free day today.
and the mission trip is tomorrow
and i havent packed
oh i bashed my hand on the barre during class yesterday. see what happens when the studio is too small? SEE??? you end up dancing into the wall and running dangerously close to those awfully hard metal bits of the barre. thereby causing grevious bodily harm to oneself. there's a very intensely purple purple bruise forming on my hand now. when i whacked it, it made such a loud kerTHONK that ms leong stopped the music and was "omg are you okay? does it hurt? it sounded like it hurts? are you okay?? it was so LOUD!!" but i couldnt answer her because i was breathless (from dancing) and doubled over (With laughter- it was quite hilarious) oh and we discovered that ms leong is also very very very pleasant when on meds. she kept saying "lovely!" and "very good!". we plan on drugging our examiner next week too. brilliant.
all subsequent mood swings which take place between now and 11.45 next thursday is to be blamed solely on my fragile state of mind which is in turn to be blamed on the demon ballet exam

there will be time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
wtf is microsoft publisher??
Okay ya..this is coming from someone who just only learned how to work Photoshop like..last December. I checked out the program online through some free trial thing and it looks SO COMPLICATED. Maybe not complicated but so restricted. It's like Powerpoint but worse. D: I thought it would be all easy and you could just cough up some paint+photoshop thingo where you have all the articles paint+photoshop-ed into this cool layout like graphic thing. Guess not.
Oh well. Back to square one. Changing my mind about applying and shall hereby remain postless till the end of my college days.
Oh ballet exam is in 9 days. Am still dancing like a spaced out goon. And my ankle still hurts when I point too hard.
Ah screw it

WE GOT CONNED!
Lynn: What shall we study?? *anguished look*
Me: I DON'T KNOWWWWWW *is frantically flipping through random notes*
We decide eventually to study poetry because Much Ado is crazy hard anyway whether or not we study. The next 45 minutes are spent reading every summary of every poem and making emergency notes in our non working copies and committing to memory quite a few very intellectual sounding lines. Ms C arrives and we all trudge into the doomed classroom.
Miss C: Alright everyone. Today we will have your ASSESSMENT...
*killer pause in which people start to notice she says assessmenT and not mentS*
...on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
JENG JENG JENGGGGG!!!!
The whole class screams in horror. And fails miserably. Or at least I did. I so know I did. Why? Because I wasn't prepared. Why? Because I was studying for stupid poetry instead!!! *insert inappropriate word*
Miss C announces at the end that we'll have our poetry assessment sometime next week.
THE NEXT DAY...
Miss C: Right. Take out your text and put away everything else. Your assessment is TO-DAY!
JENG JENG JENGGG!!!
*whole class screams in horror*
*shouts of YOUSAIDNEXTWEEK and IDIDN'TBRINGMYPOETRY and WE'RENOTPREPARED!!!*
Miss C: (very calmly) Well you studied yesterday didn't you. And when will you learn that THIS IS HOW I TEACH YOU (scare students into early deaths)
Us: But! But!! Buttt!!!!
She then made us read poetry (supposedly for the first hour after which our assessment was SUPPOSED to happen). It was a poem about carpe diem-ing and rave-raving against the dying of the light but we all sounded like dead fish. So she made us reread it. And then again, louder. And then AGAIN, with actions. And then once more because half of us weren't doing the actions. By the time she was done having fun class was over thank GOD!
THE NEXT DAY..
Whole bunch of people who decide to give up studying/have finished studying Chemistry sit in the DSA playing a VERY VERY noisy game of Pictionary when..
*people burst in*CHEMISTRY TEST IS CANCELED!! CHEMISTRY TEST IS CANCELED!!!! WHEEE!!!!
*short silence while the news sinks in*
Pictionary Playing People: WOOHOOOOOOHOHOHOHOWWWHOOOYAYYY!!!WAHHOOO!!! *random celebrations*
Elsa: Omg you guys are damn slow =.=
THREE test reschedulings/cancellings/surprisebringforwardings. In THREE days. My nerves are so shot to ribbons.
In other news!! Whee!! (more nerd stuff ahead)
Out of the 2 experiments we did yesterday, one was this super mega cool flame test and the other was this super mega boring experiment about testing for gases which we did like a million times in Wems. There were only 2 Bunsen burners in the kebuk wasaps and like a million eager chemistry students. So what me and Steffie did was we did the second mega boring experiment first while everyone scrambled for the salts. We skipped all the REALLY boring ones like O2 and CO2 and some other gas, I forget and did only like..nitrogen dioxide I think. And then we spent the rest of our time seeing who could make the loudest Hydrogen pop. [more squeaks than pops really- our old Wms ones used to give real fantastic pops] When everyone was gone we had the whole Bunsen burner to ourselves!! Bwahahaha!!! Yeah we were so sniggering about our smartness because I BROUGHT MY CAMERA!! And we got to tke our own sweet time redoing the pretty ones and taking pictures. Whee!! We are such Chemwhores.

WHEE! :D I could do this for the rest of my life and be so happy.

WOAHH!! Check out my snazzy new ankle yo! 8D
Finally went to the physiologist last night [like really late last night] and he bandaged it up. The guy I went to is so awesome. He apparently works from like 8 in the morning till however late the last patient comes. COOL RIGHT! Damn dedicated wei. Like when I got to his clinic it was 11ish and I expected the waiting room to be like..empty..but there were SO MANY PEOPLE THERE! And he was still so cheerful and chatty and stuff. If it had been me God only knows how grumpy and snappy I would've been by then. I'm really impatient o.O He used some medicated oil thing to massage the swollen bit and he was talking to me about college and stuff [apparently his daughter's in help]. Twas so cool. And then he like yanked my foot and my ankle popped!! I was like WOAH COOL!! Yeah anyway..he popped a bandage on and told me to rest it [just like everyone else has] and firmly told me NOT TO GO FOR CLASS TOMORROW [today] which is why I'm still at home now :D
Some chick from Celebrity Fitness just called and said apparently some friend put my name down as one who might possibly be interested in a membership. Ahem. Like HELLO. EVERYONE WHO KNOWS ME SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT I AM LAZY WITH A CAPITAL LAZY AND THERE IS NO WAY IN A MILLION YEARS I'D EVER JOIN A GYM. And besides. I'm like damn fit already right. See
1. I do ballet. Like grade 8 ballet dude. Which is SO not easy *rolls eyes bitchily* Nevermind the fact that I'm flopping around like a buffalo/elephant/hippo *insert enormous animal of your choice* by the end of the 2nd exercise..the point of the matter is I DO BALLET period.
2. I PLAY FOOTBALL!!!! :D :D :D :D bwahahah. No seriously. I do.
3. I jog A LOT everyday! Up the stairs, down the stairs, to the Physics lab in the rain etcetcetc. I jog a lot especially when I'm running late. [pun is too stupid to be intended] and I run late a lot.
PLUS! My room is like 3 storeys up which gives me like bonus jogging points or something
4. I lift weights!! Today I had to lug aroud 9 VERY HEAVY textbooks for Yan plus my bigfatnotebook. I tell you..by the time I got home my arms were falling off [and also very scratched from all the stupid binding]
5. I work out my arms every weekend. You know..Like when I play guitar? Strumming for extended periods of time is tiring ok. o.o
I'd blog some more about my extremely high fitness level but I don't want it to seem like I'm boasting or anything. 2 assesments a test and a project paper due tomorrow. Whoopee fun

warning: the following post is FULL OF BALLET JARGON D:
during plies ms leong noticed my feet looked funny and told me my ankles were rolling inwards. i couldnt support my weight properly on the right one and therefore couldnt hold my turnout properly. and i couldn't point fully dring battemente tendus let alone glisse. i was gripping the barre SO hard everytime i plie-d fondu-ed on it and hanging completely off it whenever we had to rise. was really worried for the centre, especially this one exercise where i step up onto demi pointe on right foot (the twisted one) a lot but i survived somehow. my work was SO bad today because i was being extra extra careful with distributing as little weight as possible onto the right ankle and at first ms leong said i looked "really stiff" [duh]. towards the end when even my character was so awful she concluded that i was just tired and having an off day and let me off lightly for today [thank GOD]. smiling all morning was more of a teeth-gritting affair than a plastic-exam-smile [must smile summore hey]
packing ice on it now, hoping the swelling will go down. my ankles look SO lopsided now. heheh.

thanks for prayers, those of you who are praying. really really hope it gets better before tuesday. i cant mess up another class o.O
Saturday, March 17, 2007
oh no
i did the SUPIDEST thing today.. i played football for the mini olympics. um. by play football i obviously mean i stood around in the field, kicked the ball a few times, ran a bit and got bashed.
somewere in the second game, my ankle got tangled up a little in someone else's (probably a guy's) made-to-play-football legs.
my ankle is like so busted. it hurts so bad when i walk up the stairs (or down them for that matter). i can't go up on demi pointe because it'll give way when i put any weight on it. i can't point my toes. i can't even fucking plie.
and my ballet exam is in 2 weeks.
shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit
please please please get better.
prayers people.. i need serious prayer =(

yes i am generic
Ugh. This is going to be one of those whiny bitchyfest posts. I can feel it coming. Anyway. This week has SUCKED so far. Kind of. In the small little ways that you don't really notice until they JUMP ON YOU AND SMOTHER YOU WITH A PILLOW RAWWWRR!!! RAWR!!!!! Been feeling very blahblahblah and this and that and whatever and with the mini olympics fast approaching and my ping pong skills still entirely non existent I'm not too optimistic about the weekend either. I need jia shyuan to save me. please? oh we had free coffeefefeefe (starbucks to be specific) today because apparently it's International Coffee Day (!) today.. How come Asher's mom knew that and i didn't? flummoxing. the all kind bringer of coffee, ming han kindly brought us coffee [us=me lynn and steffie rotting away in phillip loh's class halfheartedly doing geometri whathaveyou questions] we were discussing a very VERY pissoffing topic which i will not mention here because it is politically incorrect. actually, it isn't. i just dont think anyone is READING THIS and i am too lazy to type. i just realised. i should have asked ming to grab another free coffee to clear up that stupid stupid STUPID bet i made 2 years ago regarding certain Add Math results. oh well. i got a 74/75 for our maaath tesssst. FINALLY am doing alright in one of my subjects. hahaha. lynnie says i spoiled her winning streak. i mean her top of her class streak. her classtopping streak. something lah. oh i lost my wallet AGAIN [this is the third time] and i don't think it's coming back this time. i dreamt i found it again last night though and when i woke up i was so happy until i realised it was a STUPID DREAM. these are the things i have lost within the last few months:
1. my wallet (found at the in between cafe- containing IC- lost weekend right before driving exam)
2. my Notebook (v.v.v. traumatizing- found in wins' car)
3. my book of notes (not the same as aforementioned notebook- lost many many many times and found many many many times)
4. my pencilbox (wtf)
5. asher's pick
6. all my picks for that matter
7. my wallet AGAIN
which contained
(boring stuff)
Student ID
driving license
IC
ATM card
Dominoes, MPH, times, My Dance Shop, Popular privilege cards
1 fully stamped Coffee Bean card [worth an ice blended]
LRT+monorail cards
(real heartbreaking stuff)
my pledge card
a piece of paper with messages from everyone at church camp 5 years ago
justin's farewell note
another note
pictures
=((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
sigh. and i LIKED my wallet. stupid stupid stupid stupid. went to the police station to make a report and to get my new ic. policewoman was damn bitchy but i was too out of it to be bitchy back. i came home and doodled for 2 hours and somehow ended up with

a demented vespa. it was supposed to be red but i couldnt find my color pencils.
omg this post is really retarded i'll stop here now.
- If I thought my answer were given
- to anyone who would ever return to the world,
- this flame would stand still without moving any further.
- But since never from this abyss
- has anyone ever returned alive, if what I hear is true,
- without fear of infamy I answer you.

Xerxes..that gay king in that blah 300 movie is the same one who MARRIED ESTHER IN THE BIBLE!!!
I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D
So strange how they made him so unbibly in the movie and so unmovie in the bible.
Although I suppose the Bible would have to be right. whole movie was all crap anyway. Should've gone to watch Pursuit of Happyness instead =(

eh the school is damn ugly now la.
anyway.
God is seriously so so so so SO good and merciful and kind and gracious. I SO didn't deserve what I got but He gave it to me anyway. Hehehe. Thanks God =) The most amazing part of the whole thing is
I GOT AN A1 FOR BIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIOBIOBIOBIOBIOBIOBIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIOOOO!!!!BYEOHHHHH!!!!!!!
I seriously couldn't believe it when I saw it. After two whole years of trying VERY unsuccessfully to get my Bio grades past a C I was SO prepared to just give up on it. But I studied. Properly this time. And like really hard. And..yayy =)
I'm more hyped about my Bio alone than my overall results. =))) Wheeee!
THANKS GOD!!!

Dear God this is Sarah..
If it so pleases You, do work Your miracles and reach into the WMS office and change whatever's written on my results slip. Preferably so that the A's outnumber all the other nasty grades. But if You feel like I don't deserve it, please watch out for me tomorrow so that when I do get my results, I don't cry myself blind, trip over a stone, fall over and crack my head open on the floor. Please make sure my dad doesn't have a heart attack. Or my mom. Please let my friends understand that I don't want them to feel bad for me when I do worse than all of them do, I just want to be happy for them and forget about my own results. Please let the entire season 2 of Grey's Anatomy appear in my room tomorrow so that when I come home I can watch them all until I'm happy again.
Amen

The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lacked anything.
"A guest," I answered, "worthy to be here":
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"
"Truth, Lord; but I have marred them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you no," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down,"
George Herbet
Found this poem in our Anthology and fell in love. The T.S. Eliot one kicks major ass but it's sooo long.
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
-T.S. Eliot
the genius who wrote CATS 8)

Crazy Schedule Item #1:
Replacement Lit class for FOUR hours first thing Saturday morning. In which I completely FLUNKED an assessment [read 30% o.O] Ms Caroline played an episode of Black Adder for us which was mega funny. Also spotted: Ms Caroline's son :DD
Crazy Schedule Item #2:
Rush home to shower and figure out how to organize all my stuff so as to produce minimal lug-around-ing and maximum leave-in-church-ing. Also handwrite lyrics for worship songs on notebook paper as am supposed to worship lead but TOTALLY FORGOT. Realise last minute that am ALSO doing icebreakers and panic head off.
Not-so-crazy Schedule Item #3:
Hop off to Bangsar to go present shopping for Steffie with Asher who happened to be there too. Was quite relaxing as only involved walking around [not rushing around] and looking at pretty things. Not even much talking involved. Lovely. Go to CG early [first one there] to sit down, recover and wrap Steffie's present.
Pathetic Schedule Item #4:
No one turns up for CG except me [leading worship and icebreakers] and Ying [leading word] *MAIMS ALL VINYLIANS*
Random Schedule Item #5:
Me and Ying ditch CG and go downstairs to help Angie and Edmund put up random CNY decorations. Involved lots of sellotape, climbing on chairs and..golden peanuts. The last of the Freddos are dished out.
CRAZY Schedule Item #6:
Halfway through YF Asher messages to say he's TEN MINUTES AWAYYYY DDDD: [he was supposed to message upon leaving his house so as to give me sufficient time to CHANGE] Dash upstairs and change in record time out of jeans, random shirt and flip flops into skirt, random top and heels [which I put on on my way downstairs] Bugger off to Shang and fall asleep in Asher's dad's car quite a few times.
Happy Schedule Item #7:
Steffie's loverly birthday dinner at Shang! Yay =)) was nice and small and cosy with zero mortally embarrassing activites [ie: dancing, singing] Was hilarious too, once we all got slightly tipsy/high.
Really Really REALLY weird Schedule Item #8:
Found out that Asher+dad are in Reliance after morning service and after much much MUCH persuasion and hanging-around-on-steps-ism, pop in to help choose. Which was. Weird. Like REALLY weird.
Crazy Schedule Item #9:
Lunch at McD's followed by jamming in which brother irritated PQ in the same manner I used to piss Li Yenn off at chapel. Har har. Everything runs in the family. Jam jam bo bam. Angie suddenly turns up and major clearing up ensues.
Crazy Schedule Item #10:
Hop into Angie's car and join the rest to go help Choi Wan's mom move shop. Hehe. Was pretty fun [in a sweaty, smelly sort of way] and we were rewarded with juice! Yum. Teng was telling me about the emailing job Soon Wei initially offered me [bloody COLLEGE] and how it's not really as jobless a job as I thought it was. Encountered two cockroaches one dead and one right next to me and very much alive.
Cheng Jin: Hey Sarah.. *points*
Sarah (me): *looks down* OH SHIT!!%##$^$ *runs away*
*Teng screams*
unfortunately, in such situations I do not [as most normal girls do] scream. I swear instead. Sigh. Must kick that habit.
Crazy Schedule Item #11:
At 4, after much much box-lifting/moving and stair-climbing/descending, hop back into Angie's car and head back to church for Sunday School. Am unfortunately very late and have missed run through with Jade the Pianist and therefore am left to impromptu all the songs just by watching Jade's fingers. Just like good old chapel. Ah how I miss it.
Not-As-Crazy Schedule Item #12:
Momster turns up to take me home but at the last minute she decides to go pasar malam so I go off to Cats Whiskers to look at all the stuff on sale. LOOK. Am on a v. strict no shopping diet till I save up enough to buy my phone. Barely 15 mins into browsing, momster calls and tells me to get back to the car NOWNOWNOW because it's starting to rain. Went aaalll the way back to lucky garden through the non rain and FINALLY go home. Halfway home we switch places and I drive the BIGASS ESTIMA the rest of the way [without crashing] wheee!!
And now, I just got back from EnLi's grandfather's memorial service where I was very much surprised to see Ming Han. [was really really REALLY confused for one second before I remembered why he was there] Heehee. Heard many many many embarrassing childhood stories from En about Ming. Muahahah.
Twas exHAUSting. Phew.
EDIT: (because some people apparently get confused) Popped in to help pick ASHER'S specs. Not his DAD'S specs. o.O Duuuude. I'm not that weird

-DFO! The land of cheap branded stuff!! Seriously..some of the branded stuff at DFO was cheaper than the random made in china stuff at Paddy's. Mega cools. On the other hand..I loathed how everything SEEMS cheap but once you converted it, it turned out to be so mega expensive. Like this one skirt that was like 20 AUD..I was like "WOAAH!!! 20 bucks!!! =DDD *realizes that's actually SIXTY ringgit* oh yeah... =(((" My math got super good though. At least my multiplication skills did.
-Streets are really confusing. Like on our first day at Sydney the rents went for lunch with all their old Aussie friends [who apparently watched me grow up for like a year o.O] and after lunch dadster made me
-Brothers went to Taronga which I passed up for Paddy's. That plus our trip to the Aquarium equals lots of cool pictures of random animals on my camera.
-diving ROCKEDDDEDEDDDD!!!!!!! Apparently it was the wrong time to go diving because the winds were so massively strong which meant the seas were massively choppy which meant i was massively throwing up on the boat. Like aalllll the way to the first site. So I missed out on the briefing which meant I couldn't go for the first dive and I would have missed the second dive too if the guy hadn't been nice enough to give me a one to one briefing. And thank GOD he did. Diving was AMAZING. It's seriously soo peaceful underwater which is incredible because if you look up you can actually see the waves bashing about right above your head and you can't feel anything except a slight current. Was slightly nervous and panicky at first but after a while you can't help but relax. And diving was really the only time ever there was NOTHING on my mind. Absolutely no random thoughts running through my brain. It was so cool. The Great Barrier Reef was freaking beautiful. *hearts diving*
-I don't know why everyone raves about hot Aussie dudes because..they aren't all that hot. Ok so they're blonde and like..idk..blue eyed? Some of them? But so what. But Aussie GIRLS are like SO SOOOO HOT. It isn't fair I tell you. Hmph.
-All in all we spent about 30 hours travelling; 20 in the plane, 7 driving up and down from Sydney to Hunter Valley and Cairns to Port Douglas and 3 on the AWFUL AWFUL boat ride. Twas insane.
-They had grey's on the plane!!!!!!!! SWEETNESS!! ^.^
-To my
Few more pics and I'm off. Aussie time is catching up with me again zzzzz
