"other than that, i'm fine."

michee: nah i'd always liked sesame street more than barney. haha. as lalit would say, "cricket is the best sport in the world."

may: no no no it's a childrens' show you shouldn't read so deep even though we're lit students and lit rocks =D

simmie: ah, that would be fantastic. i'd never not-study, even for mcq tests like today's, if i had drive. haha.

jx: hahaha. I AM OFFICIALLY A REBEL. anti-michelle's the way to go, man.

may: yea man, lit ppl are cool. haha! i dunno if i'd trust you to mess with time, you may make it such that all we ever see is your patron! hahaha!

jx: hahaha okay! yes, lit rocks. The Real Inspector Hound rocks.

simran: hey...does that mean non-tkgians aren't?! what a thing to say on this blog. haha anyway, why do you want me to update so fast? it's only been three days!

.........................................................

Triple period chem tutorial today wasn't that bad after all. I was trying to study for the redox mcq test and simran was testing me on random oxidation numbers. haha! we have decided to look for a place we can call the cricket girls' place, like the hockey tables, soccer tables etc.

I really don't know what to blog about. I feel like writing a poem, but i don't have time to.

Lit is a fantastic subject. Recently, we did this piece of writing about 74 facts and one lie. It's a list of 74 facts, and one lie among those facts. The facts are about a lady writing about a man she knew very well, almost telepathic, but who didn't marry her. It was like "a twig snapping inside her" when she heard him say he couldn't live without his wife. If you guys want to read it, i won't tell you what the lie is yet. Go to the blog Ms Chia set up [which i've linked] and click on the link to the piece of writing.

Today, we had lit in the treehouse farthest away from the canteen. i witnessed something that really made an impact on me. i was thinking about it the whole day, and it really brought me down to earth. i guess you'd have already heard about the girl who collapsed while running?
i saw her, lying face down, before she was turned over.
i saw her, unconscious, with a whole group of people surrounding her.
i saw her, being shaken by her friends, while mr tan ran to the office and back.
i saw her, with teachers surrounding her, performing CPR on her.
i saw her, as did so many others, without knowing who she is.
i saw her friends crying and praying.
i saw her move slightly at last, after a few cycles of CPR.
and i breathed in.

michee: oh yea..may's the original pres. i love you too, but i have NOT accepted presidency! haha. and hello, i always enjoy my runs okay, unlike you slackers who never do =P

jx: haha i'm still with you! anti-michelle's-law club, man..

may: of course i love you too!! but it's 'shreya' not sherya hahahaha!

raghav: haha you're welcome!

jx: haha i love all of you equally. and yes! cheers to the original [and possibly the most accepted] fanclub!

may: LOL you and your accusations. i love you just as much =]

mia: yea..haha! whoever wrote it kinda got all distressed towards the end. the Big 2 already eh.

michee: i love all of you the same! hahaha. and there always was an anti-michelle's-law campaign! ha! =D

jx: hahahaha LOL how many times do i have to say i love you guys equally? you know, if i support double h's fanclub then you'll kill me and if i don't, michee and may will kill me. so i decline to comment =] and long live anti-michelle's-law club!

may: i'm more loyal than you are cos i'm neutral, which means i love you michee and jx, while you only love michee haha!

subra: isn't it? haha.

.........................................................................

michee's my new accomplice! haha. and simran's my funner-in-crime!
cross country was terrible. but shakura's position is 50+! she's super amazing.

lessons are getting faster now. and i hope i can manage my CCAs well.

sometimes i feel crippled. like when people just expect me to know and be able to do some things i don't or can't. have you ever had that feeling? it's worse than the feeling of knowing you can do something people think you can't.

IP3 camp groupings are out! i realised i've never really talked to the people in my group. guess it's a good chance to know them better. i'm really looking forward to this camp, especially the night walk! and also because this is probably the last time the whole cohort is going somewhere together, and it's a pity some people can't make it.

have i mentioned that i love s43 to bits? i do. i love s43 just as much as i love v14. and that's a lot.

i realise that nowadays i don't post poems any more. maybe it's because i don't have the time to, and maybe because i'm running outta ideas. the things i post about nowadays are definitely more down-to-earth, i think, but i realise that the things i mention or talk about are so disjointed. it's like i'm just typing out everything that comes into my head at the moment. it makes the whole post seem like a mess. i don't think i mind, though.

it as raining in school yesterday evening. i wish i could have stood in the rain, but i was going to SAJC after the IP3 briefing to watch an indian dance, song and fashion competition. i like rainy days, especially if im not carrying anything with me and can get wet.

shakura once asked me what super power i would choose to have if i were given the chance, she said she would choose to be able to stop time. i said i would like to read people's minds. but i take that back now. all those thoughts would be too much for one person to handle and people would feel like i'm intruding on their privacy, but being able to stop time would really be interesting.

just think about it.

Avoid the Bluffers!

As seen on a notice warning residents not to sell their property for less than what it's worth:

"The purpose of this notice is several uninformed owners have been cheated by unscrupulous property agents because many owners do not know how to calculate valuation. Value of property is derived from location, not how old the building. For a $ 1M condo unit, building cost is less than 20%. The main value is the land location, and East Coast land its sea view, minutes to Changi Airport, 8 minutes to Casino, 10 minutes to Orchard Road, with many good schools, is prime.

For example, you own a $ 1.5 M diamond but its box looks old fashion. Clever businessman engage a bunch of thieves to bluff you, buy from you at $0.8M, re-package and re-sell it for $ 2.0 M"

I was quite shocked when i read that, especially the second paragraph.

anyway, Happy Chinese New Year!

"when you think the world has turned it's back on you, take a look."

Trustworthy

Today was the first day I actually got people stuff for Valentine's Day. When i made a list of people to make cards for, it came to more than 60! I only started making them at 11.30pm yesterday, so i obviously couldnt finish all. i went to sleep at 1.30am and got up at 4.30 to finish as much as i could [which wasnt much, only about 20 cards] and now i'm gonna try finish the rest.
The ICS guys made my day, they stayed up until 4am today to finish making the girls notes for today =] it's really sweet of them.
Thank you to everyone else as well, who gave me stuff today, especially henry, who gave me my belated birthday present today! haha.
Today was the CNY concert rehearsal, and i love the ICS guys for putting up such a good performance. The girls need to touch up, and today's practice was very productive. After practising, dhevy, akanksha, serena, amoudtha, sarvesh, reuban [and nivedh for a while] were sitting and talking about so much stuff. Secrets and rumours spread so easily.
Anyway, Happy Friendship Day to everyone, ALL THE BEST TO THE CRICKET GUYS FOR THEIR TOURNAMENT! and raghav, if you're reading this, all the best, for everything! haha.

shake, shake it, shake it

Clayton says i should think hard before making any decisions.

Michelle and Sha say i should go for it.

Henry says i stress myself too much.

hmm..

This week passed so fast, i was shocked when it was Friday already. I'm behind in my work, [quite badly] and there are chem and physics tests next week.

But apart from the nagging feeling incomplete work always gives, school's been good. Today, i got myself into the koi pond. Voluntarily, not because i was dunked. Yesterday, laura and i walked around the outermost track foot by foot, counting the number of feet it takes to complete the round. Yesterday and today, laura, michelle and i counted the number of tiles in the canteen.

Think House Comm.

I just hope i'm making the right decision.

Today, after school, michelle, jia xin, may and i went to the treehouse to see zonghe play hockey. We were calling out to him from to treehouse to say hi whenever he passed, till the poor guy got kinda embarrassed.

then, the ICS gang [at least the tamil part of it] went to NJ to support the debate team for the first round of debate, against RJ. We won =] and we're up against NJ next.

i don't know what to say. it's one of those mind blocks again. i know i want to say something but i dont know what it is. but im sure ill remember once i shut down the com.
