A Touch of Humanity
In case you're wondering why I'm still updating on kpop @ this point in time, it'd perhaps be a scintillating revelation that I'm actually not a robot which can be programmed; the term 'which' suggesting that unlike machines I'm a piece of human being and I need an outlet to unwind so that my brain, having been subjected to multiple degrees of radiation, doesn't start sizzling and cracking furiously like a miserable old plastic pot that's unable to withstand an influx of evil boiling liquids like those corrosive chemicals you see in intimidating Science labs (which I haven't stepped into for years). I swear Science labs are evil.
SO ANYWAY...
Ye Sung's pet turtle that costs a few hundred dollars!!!
Ye Sunggiee, please wear this outfit for the rest of your life. Please alternate it with the pink polo that you totally work in Neorago.
I just watched Suju's sorry sorry live @ 20th Golden Melody Awards. They're still buckets and truckloads of awesome despite how I've watched their MVs over and over and over and over again. And, I'm starting to adore shinee too; their newest release "Ring Ding Dong" is fantastic elastic :D Never thought much about this group of juniors but I'm beginning to think they're going to make it even bigger in time to come! AND LEE TAEMIN WHY'RE YOU ONLY 16 YEARS OLD {?!}
Taemin c:
I like his features very very much.
I don't regret going for GP today although the class was almost dysfuctional with only 6 people present. But Mrs Noordin mentioned something during the period which awarded me an engagement in introspection of something important. Something that I've been thinking about since exactly a week ago, to the extent that it's been bothersome, even inundating. At least we now have some of that cleared up and out of the way, don't we?
TO END OFF, LET ME SHOW YOU THIS PRICELESS PIECE OF TREASURE THAT I FOUND:
TAEMIN AND YESUNG {!!!}

God Speed Your Love To Me
disclaimer: if you're allergic to pink please refrain from scrolling down; this post will blind you
I love my class. I'm missing it already. Being in 05/08 has taught me so much, given me so much; I cannot cement all my thoughts and feelings into anything tangible or concrete now. From Bangla-Mat-Picnic Day to Nerd Day to Goggles Day to Happy Ears (Teacher's) Day to Sparkly-Aida Birthday to Farewell-concert-Korean-Crazy-Dance Day, we've grown so much as a class, learning how to respect (WHOLE LIFE RESPECT), appreciate and understand one another.
It doesn't bother me how much more retarded and daring we've become over the 2 years; all that I remember are puny wannabe nerds with long skirts alongside tucked-in blouses, a random picnic plagued with insanity in the school porch to celebrate the class birthday, attempts at scuba diving replete with goggles on land, funky cool animal ears coupled with premature christmas carols, blatantly noisy sparkles &smoke on a second floor balcony, and a Final Act of Defiance that our civics tutor dared us to stage on the last day of school.
Of course, along the way many teachers have expressed their disappointment, exasperation, chagrin @ our heck-carish attitude and inherently rebellious nature, and @ how we were just aimlessly floating around and perpetually playing the fool while others were racking their brains feverishly in the academic arena. Not to forget how even Miss Nansi was so fed up with us because there were only 19 days in the whole of the 2008 school year that 05/08 actually had full attendance. Of course, we only ever have full attendance on days with special occasions/events like CNY carnival etc. Monday was no exception; save for Xiu Qing who didn't turn up, the rest of the class was present! Which is a rare event that follows a Poisson distribution.

Gee Gee Gee Gee
Eunhyuk & Hangeng looking super solid
I like this photo very very much!
Yesung needs to wear this cutting more often!
Today, I caught a glimpse of Lee Min Ho @ the airport. God, t'was crazy. Singaporean fangirls are definitely capable of tearing the whole of Terminal 3's departure hall apart just by running amock and screaming their lungs out. (I think it's MORE WANTON than Gwyneth chasing LMH around Singapore the whole of yesterday) &they say Korean fangirls are a hundred times wilder. I cannot imagine how mad that'll be {!} seeing how I was already so highly disturbed today by all the screaming, screeching, yelling and shoving. Even the female staff @ the airport were desperately straining and craning their necks to get a glimpse of Min Ho{!} Okay admittedly if Kim Ye Sung were to discover that Singapore actually exists and decides to make a trip here, I will go nuts. My heart will shoot sparks and my limbs will detach themselves from me, all ready to embrace his arrival c:
Well contrary to popular belief I wasn't @ Changi Airport to see LMH off, I was there to have my innocent brains fried while studying the history of the global economy for my History A'level syllabus. But Minho was pretty much a good distraction in the end :} To think I was just watching him again on BOF last night @ my grandad's!
Minho looking smart as usual
Very cute.
/Oh and on a side note, I saw Sze Yen & Tag (coincidentally) at Killiney today and caught up with the former quite a bit. It's always good to hear from Primary school friends. I hope we have another Primary 6 chalet @ the end of the year.

"Oh oh Only For You"
I like how Mr Mikhail Gorbachev looks as if he couldn't care less about shooting this ad; as though the only things weighing his mind are STILL the Soviet Union's domestic problems and the Soviet Union's domestic problems.
And then I decided to look up all the American presidents tonight, and yes {!!!} I knew Reagan would be the most goodlooking :D
I can't believe Gorbachev and R.R visited Disney Land together; I think it's the most exciting thing that ever happened in history. Okay no, I'm kidding. My favourite component in History is still reviewing the limited successes of the United Nations. Ohdear please do not lambast me. But someone shake me alive?
Yesterday was 05/08's dearest CG Rep's birthday! Aida- the awesome supergirl who has been patiently and ungrudgingly taking in all the shit for our class; really the most responsible and enthusiastic CG rep I've ever met in my life. I think she deserve's our whole class's respect. (Inside joke haha) Anyway, we went crazy as a class and played noisy screaming shooting sparkles on a second-storey classroom next to the DM's office =\
Lots of smoke, screaming and love.
Also, Coco and I did the most insane, absurd, earth-shattering thing in our entire lives yesterday.
What am I to do w/o this class?

Cross Stitches
I just realised I've a thing for guys who do this. =\ But while I'm a sucker for these I only enjoy watching them if they're done by people I like.
Weiyi has been enlisted into Police for 2010 and I think his family's really happy about that, haha. I'm happy for him too and I hope he learns to become a protector of good and stops terrorizing me. c:
Friday night was spent attending Coco's art exhibition with Nicholas. Was pleasantly surprised to see Dodo (Coco's 9-year-old sissy) there too, 'cause I haven't seen her in eons BUT the first thing she yelled when she saw me was: "Uncle Thomas!!!" =\ I still love her though, she's thoroughly wanton and adorably unrestrained &never in my life will I forget what happened @ Coco's birthday party {...} That aside, I also confirmed my worst fears of being absolutely unable to converse in Chinese anymore. Coco's Dad asked me what subjects I was presently reading and I couldn't answer it in Chinese, at all. The same thing happpened when the toilet janitor asked me when my A'levels were starting. I don't think I'll dare to tell people I'm from Dunman High; it's such a disgrace to my alma mater! &very much a pity too, considering how I'd previously taken part in both Chinese and English oratorical and story-telling competitions, both group and individual.
Last night, I dug out some old poems I penned 1-4 years ago when my emotions were always fluctuating; tantamount to a full-steam roller coaster ride, to the unconventionality of a tangent graph. I couldn't help but edit several of them because I'd just found better ways to express myself. For a few of those I'd previously written, I found partial difficulty in identifying with the sadness, agony, unhappiness, desolation and loneliness that I used to feel at that point in time, and I suppose that just indicates that I've very much been liberated from these discomforting emotions. Either that, or I'm a poor writer myself.
On a more casual note, Someone enlighten me on how any boy can be so pretty? I've never blogged about Hee Chul 'cause I've taken little interest in Super Junior's first-rate attention-whore, but I came across some stunning photos of him which deserve to be shared globally. These're not exactly the most stupendous photos but oh well.

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now
Oh,my,god. I really really really like how he's working this polo.
Somehow, I felt as if there were a hundred daggers plunged right into the nucleus of my heart. How can anyone's General Paper ranking drop from 23rd position in the level to 112th when her absolute score has only declined by 2.5 marks? It's very, very, very painful and self-defeating. Almost humiliating to have my percentile drop by more than 10 and ousted from the top 5%-10%. {?!} Yeah somehow my ability to accept failure is still...I was just pissed off the entire day because I missed by 1 mark to the next grade for GP, Math and Econs. I've witnessed relative improvements in Literature and History, though, but it's still not enough.
The implication is right there; stamped in black and white- that many in the cohort have improved by leaps and bounds for GP whilst I'm still basking in my own laid-back world oblivious to the radical changes until I was hard hit yesterday. Mrs Loke saw me in school today when I submitted the class attendence list for Aida in the GO and talked to me for awhile. She asked about my results, and upon my response, said "I think we can expect more from you...keep the faith!"
Anyway. Today @ the airport, I bought a piece of (very very cute) toy bread from Minitoons. It had has an incredibly endearing smile which seemed to squeak: "Please buy me?" so I slid it off the shelf and bought it. I've decided that it will be my source of encouragement for the rest of this arduous journey fraught with multiple obstacles. It will be my only consolation when I'm upset and angsty and jaded, and upset and angsty and jaded. It will be my new friend. I know it's kinda sad to have only a piece of (toy) bread as a friend but it kinda works for me I guess. I've even given him a proper tupperware house to reside in and I hope he likes it albeit it being slightly crammed.
My mood was highly volatile tonight; in between talking to Brad (the name of my new bread friend) I found myself with a "sinking, sickening of the heart" and I put my hand to my eyes and realised they were damp...
What's eating me?
