and what about a teakettle?

It was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go, its ignorance bliss, I don't know, but its so painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me?

The tragedy of love (loving), you can't love anything more than something you miss.

Finished reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close for the second time and surprisingly I finished it much faster this time but it left me feeling empty abs hollow and sad esp how Oskar mentions zipping up the sleeping bag of himself I feel like that sometimes when things/ppl hurt/disappoint me and this expression makes so much sense, in a way shutting everyone from yourself, and yourself from everyone or maybe its the minimal form of protection you are capable of? In a way Oskar is a reminder of ourselves I guess he is so vulnerable Grandma is so vulnerable man who does not speak, on the other hand is selfish, Mum is so vulnerable so many layers in this story and no true closure Oskar's dad is dead and nth can change that but that's not the depressing part. Grandma and her failed marriage depresses me so does Oskar and his quest to ultimately, nothing. Honestly if I ever had a kid, I would prolly love him/her more than anything in this world and its obvious that Grandma loves her son and her son loves Oskar and this depresses me too. The fact that Oskar carries his tambourine wherever he goes depresses me too but that's why its such a thrill to read. But I'm having second thoughts approaching Jonathan Safran Foer's other book that I have alr read last year cuz its confusing yet spectacular at the same time. Anyway this was a good book prolly one of the best I've ever read (not that I read a lot) but still.
For some reason I can't finish David Mitchell books he has a consistent theme of connection throughout all his novels though. Alright, flying off to Taiwan on Tuesday, might buy books back.

grr

There's no point worrying now anyway, finding the best, most appropriate school is what matters but that also seems to be an issue. At least he looks alright, maybe a tad disappointed but we can only look forward now can we? And there's no shame in whatever course you are in, apparently some narrowminded shallow ppl do not understand that, honey not everyone has the brains A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER DOES NOT DICTATE YOUR SELF WORTH seriously?! I DO NOT NEED YOU TO FEEL SORRY/SAD FOR ME there is no shame. What about being encouraging for a change? There is ENOUGH cynism in the world and maybe yes, the sad truth is that being academically conscious and relevant does indeed get you further in life, gives you a higher salary a bigger house, etc but what's the point in all these material needs anyway? Does scoring straight 'A's make you a better person than someone else who scores a few 'B's a C and a D? If you feel that this is so then I FEEL SAD FOR YOU. I do not need your pity, in fact I pity you. I pity your blindness, your ignorant oblivion, your shallow nature. I do not need discouraging remarks or sympathetic pats on the back thank you but no thank you. My brother is bright, passionate and carefree HE IS NOT BOUNDED BY EXPECTATIONS BY YOU but of himself and if he disappoints himself, allow him to pick himself and learn. I hate this I really do how can you say this of someone who has so much more to fulfil and live? He is only 12 his life has just started, he has difficulties but they will be conquered.
And one more thing, a certain R****h School is the most biased school there is they fret over their darling gifted students and choose to neglect the other students who do not perform as well, it is a fantastic school for smart kids in the better classes with dedicated teachers however the standard of teachers for the rest of the students are considerably less passionate about teaching its like this R****h School decides to focus on the smart kids and leaves the rest of the kids behind. When it comes to field trips and special courses, the smart kids have the first priority. So what if R****h School produces top scorers but neglects the other students and has halfhearted teachers THAT DISCOURAGE THE STUDENTS seriously? No heart no soul, this isn't even a 'top' school at all, in my opinion (ex-student) this is a terrible almost mirrored version of a scaled down society where the best are thrusted further upwards while the rest are left behind, forgotten. Be not proud of your achievements for they are not yours, but the students.

'not gonna teach him how to dance with ya!'

Prom was better than I expected I was pretty delighted when the night ended hehe. It's fun dressing up and all but honestly after the first few seconds of seeing someone in their outfit you don't actually bother looking again. FEEL SO SAD FOR THOSE WHO SPENT SO MUCH $$ ON THEIR OUTFITS but all the kids looked so gorgeous and charming, we're like the hottest batch (can I get a hola) HAHA but santonio (who is currently on her way to Japan now) and I had orange juice spilled all over us LIFE SUCKS LOL so proud of my dear Sistaa he totally owned the stage AND HE WON THE SECOND PRIZE LUCKY DRAW LUCKY BOY HAHA I BET HE CHEATED HAHA but he got me cold freaking play's live DVD SO YAY YAY YAY YAY kaely and Kenneth sang so well so proud of them both. Wish I took more pictures and I hope that this is a good closure to so many things I really hope it is. Like what Victoria from HIMYM said bout leaving smth as a perfect memory. Honestly I'd rather leave it like that than have any continuity which could possibly turn bad idk, of course all forms of continuity are good but being the realist that I am, I know I wouldn't have the privilege of such. Anyhow, anyway. Oh and I owe my cousin a million for helping me out and everything. LOL A DANCE SEGMENT SHOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO PROM IT'LL BE SO FUNNY esp for kids like me who can't dance x.

So o's are finally over I'm pretty thankful for everyone's support. And Thank God. And I shall put everything into his hands. On a side note it hasn't sunk in that o's are TRULY over. Weird right...
Anyway one thing I noticed is that alot of couples on Twitter like to put their significant other's Twitter name in his/her bio followed by a heart. THIS IS JUST ANNOYING. SERIOUSLY. a Twitter bio is for you to IDENTIFY YOURSELF. YOU INDEPENDENTLY W/O ANY LABELS JUST YOU. YOU HAVE AN IDENTITY SHEESH. you are A PERSON. WITH OR W/O ANYONE ELSE. why would you want to be known as Someone Else's when you could be known as uniquely, yourself. Seriously. Overly attached ppl are annoying. How do you get to know someone if you don't even know yourself? And one more thing, it IRKS me when ppl post song lyrics or retweet song lyrics THAT THEY DON'T EVEN LISTEN TO CUZ THE SONG LYRIC CAN BE EASILY MISINTERPRETED AS A SAPPY LOVE QUOTE THAT TEENS DIG. like really?? The emotions and pain invested in the song FAR OUTWEIGHS THEIR SILLY IDEAS it undermines the original message of the song AND PAINS ME SO. PAINS ME DEARLY. looking forward to lunch+ showcase with the besties tmr <3 and not exactly prom on Tuesday, mum's bday on Wednesday and Tim's results on Thursday. And then choir camp and Mrs Yeap's anniversary on friday... Aye. Heart is pretty heavy. Anyway I'm currently learning My Heart Will Go On on Brentz, missed him so much but my fingers are getting stiff so gots to practice! Cya soon homies x.

yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?

WASSUP YALL ytd was eventful I think did more stuff in the whole of ytd than the past week anyway I finally went swimming ytd morning and yes I can't swim and coincidentally there were swimming lessons going on at the same time and those kids.... Darn..they are good. They were doing all sorts of fancy stuff like back strokes and butterfly and there I was clinging on to a kickboard FEELING SO ASHAMED OF MYSELF pls kids, learn how to swim. And then in the late evening I went to my cousin's bday party at Costa Sands AND IT WAS SO EVENTFUL I WOULD WRITE ALL ABOUT IT BUT THERE ARE THINGS I RATHER NOT SAY. I'm blessed with wonderful extended family members but after last night it dawned on me that I HAVE FUTURE FAMILY MEMBERS TOO. And I got pretty worked up for reasons I shall not reveal but if my future family members are nasty I will not hesitate to bite back. Not at all. I love my clan and I'll protect them meow! But this isn't the main point
THIS IS THE MAIN POINT I've been addicted to watching Ellen and so last evening 'mah homies' and I decided to dance dare unsuspecting poor beach-goers. And okaye we're pretty bad at it but WATCH OUT MY NINJA DANCE MOVES WILL LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS (I have this, um, signature move which is very innovative LOL thank you) for now back to Cloud Atlas its getting interesting after that torturous first chapter

WASSUP YALL havent been blogging in ages I might have lost all my loyal readers (by that I just mean myself and the USA readers that I convince myself with) BUT ANYWAY O'S ARE MOSTLY DONE WHOOHOOOOO these days have been chilly seems like whenever I'm mugging my thoughts tend to drift away to far flung countries with everything SG doesn't have (typical grass is always greener mindset) but to some extent its true isn't it? Anyhoo I'm thinking of revisiting my mortician story IT'S SO EMBARRASSING I STOPPED WRITING FOR 2 YEARS hopefully I'll gain new insights. Anyway George mentioned last night to launch a webshow thingy after o's cuz the other time we planned to do it after psle but OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN SO BEING RETARDED AND SILLY AND ALL WE MIGHT DO THE WHOLE WEBSHOW IDEA AND BECOME FAMOUS YOUTUBERS JUST WATCH OUT YALL. I'm already thinking of using the name we came up with.... Sweaty Lobster IT SOUNDS LIKE A PERFECT BAND NAME FOR SOME POP PUNK GROUP RIGHT (i think its just me)
