i suspect this will be my last post before i leave for hong kong this sat....tomorrow, after the aids convention , i'll be going back to my house, so i won't be able to blog.
anyway , i found this on facebook. dinesh will be pleased.

petition to revoke independence of the united states of america

To the citizens of the United States of America, in the light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories.

Except Utah, which she does not fancy.

Your new Prime Minister (The Right Honourable Gordon Brown MP, for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a Minister for America without the need for further elections.

The House of Representatives and the Senate will be disbanded.

A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium." Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.

The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour'; skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters.

You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."

You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to re-spell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.

Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up “vocabulary." Using the same thirty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "uhh", "like", and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.

Look up "interspersed."

There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary, then you won't have to use bad language as often.

2. There is no such thing as "US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier).

You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents --- Scottish dramas such as "Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.

While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon." If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters.

British sit-coms such as "Men Behaving Badly" or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness. Popular British films such as the Italian Job and the Wicker Man should never be remade.

5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.

6. You should stop playing American "football." There are other types of football such as Rugby, Aussie Rules & Gaelic football. However proper football - which will no longer be known as soccer, is the best known, most loved and most popular. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very good game.

The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.

Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies).

We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by 2008.

You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of North America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders," which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.

7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

8. The 4th of July is no longer a public holiday. The 2nd of November will be a new national holiday, but only in Britain. It will be called "Indecisive Day."

9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap, and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call 'French fries' are not real chips. Fries aren't even French, they are Belgian though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat.

Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.

11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.

12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling "beer" is not actually beer at all, it is lager . From November 1st only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." The substances formerly known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," with the exception of the product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine." This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in the Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.

13. From the 10th of November the UK will harmonise petrol (or "gasoline," as you will be permitted to keep calling it until the 1st of April) prices with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon -- get used to it).

14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.

15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

16. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

Thank you for your co-operation.

the singapore discovery centre is the in place for people who love social studies.... there's a lot of information of singapore history in it as well as info about current affairs on how singapore can improve and stuff.

it was a huge paradise for a 17 year old kid.......who then turned into a 5 year old kid.....in fact , all three of us were little 5 year olds....running around like little kids.

in fact we were checking out the so singapore toons exhibit when trhe worse thing ever to happen to a girl happened:

parrim's phone got stolen.

well obviously, being a person whose past two phones were stolen , i understood how she felt. i really hope whoever took it is so going to deserve whatever he/she gets.

damn him.

but anyway, some more photos!

Friday, November 23, 2007

i want to say a lot of things here.
but now i'm just blinded by anger.
all i wanted was for us to have a class outing. A FREAKING CLASS OUTING.
ONE FREAKING CLASS OUTING.

according to my sources now, exactly five people are going.

i was shaking when i hung up the phone.

i am a failure.
a total freaking failure.
i organized something which NO ONE WANTS TO COME.
it's the highest level of failure.
no one respects you, champa. forget it!

guess tt means a lot of things.
like 1) never get champa to organize another class outing again.
2) always know tt the class doesn't give a fuck over what u think.
3)always expect the class to fail u in every single way.
4)never trust in your class again.
5) dun even think about participating in class activities again.
6) forget about me ever volunteering for stuff again.
7) i lost my respect for the human race. AGAIN.

i dunno what's wrong with me.
i'm so blue today.just drifting in and out of conciousness.
how retarded. i thought i was in control of my life.
now i'm not so sure.
in my future all i see is fog.
daze and confusion
secret soul disease.
it's eating away at me, making my heart turn to the colour of raven feathers.

in a day when i spent with so many people, it only occurs to me now that i am but truly alone.

i'm so hurt.
so doubtful.
so unsure.

who's there to tell me what to do?

emotional words and curses eat away at me.

i do nothing but gaze into the distance,
hoping that the great answer will somehow arrive in front of me.
drifting in and out again.....

i'm so tired.
so very weary of this world.
envy, pride, greed , sloth, wrath, gluttony,lust.
they all but consume me , as i pretend i have everything in control.

so numb.
so cold.
so very melancholic
so very , very blue.

today at drama , dinesh let me have a look on what has to be the best and funniest thing tt i have read so far.

THE COMPLETE MILITARY HISTORY OF FRANCE
(OR, WHERE'S LUCKY PIERRE WHEN WE NEED HIM?)

- Gallic Wars
- Lost. In a war whose ending foreshadows the next 2000 years of French
history, France is conquered by of all things, an Italian. [Or, at this time
in history, a Roman]

Moors in Spain, late 700s-early 800s.
-Lost. Even with Charlemagne leading them against an enemy living in a
hostile land, French are unable to make much progress.
Hide behind Pyrenees until the modern day.

Norse invasions, 841-911.
- Lost. After having their way with the French for 70 years, the Norse are
bribed by a French King named Charles the Simple
(Really!) who gave them Normandy in return for peace. Normans proceed to
become just about the only positive military bonus in
France's favor for next 500 years.

Norman Invasion of England 1066 A.D.
- Won. William The Conqueror Duke and Ruler of France Launches the Largest
Invasion in the history of the world no other was as
large until the same trip was taken in reverse on June 6th 1944 William
Fights Harold for the Throne of England Which old king
Edward rightfully left to William but Harold Usurped the throne. Will
fights the Saxons (English) wins and the French Rule
England for the Next 80 Years. then the French start the largest building
and economic infrastructure since the fall of the Roman
Empire the Norman Economy skyrockets and the Normans inadvertently start
England to become a major world Power Vive La
France - Oh dear. We seem to have overlooked some basic facts. Firstly,
Philip the First (1060 - 1108) was King of France at the
time of the Norman invasion of 1066 - William was Duke of Normandy and,
incidentally, directly descended from the Vikings.
William was, therefore, as alien to France as the experience of victory.
Since Philip did not invade England, the victory at Hastings
was Norman - not French. Normandy may be a part of France now but it most
certainly wasn't in 1066. Therefore, William's
coronation as King of England had nothing whatsoever to do with the French.
As usual, they were nowhere near the place when
the fighting was going on. The mistaken belief that 1066 was a French
victory leads to the Third Rule of French Warfare; "When
incapable of any victory what-so-ever, claim someone else's."

- Hundred Years War
- Mostly Lost. Saved at last by female schizophrenic who inadvertently
creates The First Rule of French Warfare; "France's armies
are victorious only when NOT led by a Frenchman." - Burned & Sainted.

- Italian Wars
- Lost. France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars
when fighting Italians.

Barbary Wars, middle ages-1830.
- Lost (Or, Tied by extortion) Pirates in North Africa continually harass
European shipping in Mediterranean. France's solution: pay
them to leave us alone. America's solution: kick their asses ("the Shores
of Tripoli"). America's first overseas victories, won
1801-1815.

India, 1673-1813.
- Lost. British were far more charming than French, ended up victors.
Therefore the British are well known for their tea, and the
French for their whine (err, wine...). Ensures 200 years of bad teeth in
England.

- Thirty Years War
- Tied. France is technically not a participant, but manages to get invaded
anyway. Claims a tie on the basis that eventually the
other participants started ignoring her.

- The Dutch War
- Tied.

- War of the Augsburg League/King William's War/French and Indian War
- Lost. but claimed as a tie. Three ties in a row induces deluded
Frogophiles the world over to label the period as the height of
French military power.

- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough,
which they have loved every since.

Seven year War 1756-1763
- Lost. after getting hammered by Frederick the Great of Prussia (Yep, the
Germans again) at Rossbach, the French were held off
for the remainder of the War by Frederick of Brunswick and a hodge-podge
army including some Brits. War also saw France kicked
out of Canada (Wolfe at Quebec) and India (Clive at Plassey).

- American Revolution
- In a move that will become quite familiar to future Americans, France
claims a win even though the English colonists saw far
more action. This is later known as the, "de Gaulle Syndrome", and leads to
the Second Rule of French Warfare; "France only wins
when America does most of the fighting."

Haiti, 1791-1804.
- Lost. French defeated by rebellion after sacrificing 4,000 Poles to
yellow fever. Shows the third rule of French warfare; when in
doubt, send an ally.

1798-1801, Quasi-War with U.S.
-Lost. French privateers (semi-legal pirates) attack U.S. shipping. U.S.
fights France at sea for 3 years; French eventually cave;
sets precedent for next 200 years of Franco-American relations.

- The Napoleonic Wars
- Lost. Temporary victories (remember the First Rule!) due to leadership of
a Corsican, who ended up being no match for a British
footwear designer. - It should be noted that the Grand Armee was largely
(+50%) composed of non-Frenchmen after 1804 or so.
Mainly disgruntled minorities and anti-monarchists. Not surprisingly, these
performed better than the French on many occasions.

Mexico, 1863-1864.
- Lost. France attempts to take advantage of Mexico's weakness following
its thorough thrashing by the U.S. 20 years earlier
("Halls of Montezuma"). Not surprisingly, the only unit to distinguish
itself is the French Foreign Legion (consisting of, by
definition, non-Frenchmen). They were soundly booted out of the country a
little over a year after arrival.

- The Franco-Prussian War
- Lost. Germany first plays the role of drunk Frat boy to France's ugly
girl home alone on a Saturday night.

Panama jungles 1881-1890.
-Lost. With no one but nature to fight, France still loses; canal is
eventually built by the U.S. 1904-1914.

- World War I
- Tied and on the way to losing, France is saved by the United States
[Entering the war late]. Thousands of French women find out
what it's like to not only sleep with a winner, but one who doesn't call
her "Fraulein." Sadly, widespread use of condoms by
American forces forestalls any improvement in the French bloodline. Also
should be noted that France attempted to hide behind
the Maginot line, sticking their head in the sand and pretending that the
Germans would enter France that way. By doing so, the
Germans would have been breaking with their traditional route of invading
France, entering through Belgium (Napoleonic Wars,
Franco-Prussian War, World War I, etc.). French ignored this though, and
put all their effort into these defenses.

- World War II
- Lost. Conquered French liberated by the United States and Britain just as
they finish learning the Horst Wessel Song.

- War in Indochina
- Lost. French forces plead sickness; take to bed with the Dien Bien Flu.

- Algerian Rebellion
- Lost. Loss marks the first defeat of a western army by a Non-Turkic
Muslim force since the Crusades, and produces the First Rule
of Muslim Warfare; "We can always beat the French." This rule is identical
to the First Rules of the Italians, Russians, Germans,
English, Dutch, Spanish, Vietnamese and Esquimaux.

- War on Terrorism
- France, keeping in mind its recent history, surrenders to Germans and
Muslims just to be safe. Attempts to surrender to
Vietnamese Ambassador fail after he takes refuge in a McDonald's.

French-on-French Wars and the Wars of religion (probably should be counted
as victories too, just to be fair):

1208: Albigenses Crusade
- Tied. French massacred by French. When asked how to differentiate a
heretic from the faithful, response was "Kill them all.
God will know His own." Lesson: French are bad asses when fighting unarmed
men, women and children.

St. Bartholomew Day Massacre, August 24, 1572.
- Tied. Once again, French-on-French slaughter.

Third Crusade.
- Lost. Philip Augustus of France throws hissy-fit, leaves Crusade for
Richard the Lion Heart to finish.

Seventh Crusade.
- Lost. St. Louis of France leads Crusade to Egypt. Resoundingly crushed.

Eighth Crusade.
- Lost. St. Louis back in action, this time in Tunis. See Seventh Crusade.

- Wars of Religion
- Tied. France goes 0-5-4 against the Huguenots

- French Revolution
- Won. Primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French. Frenchmen
take to wearing red flowerpots as chapeaux.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The question for any country silly enough to count on the French should
not be, "Can we count on the French?" but rather, "How
long until France collapses?"

"Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an
accordion. All you do is leave behind a lot of noisy baggage."

Or, better still, the quote from the Wall Street Journal: "They're there
when they need you."

if you, having read this part of the post and u are laughing your head off, please say......"aye!" on my tagboard.

more stuff tomorrow! this more or less fills up what i usually write anyway.

i am typing this at 0400 am in the morning.

i'll be screwed , won't i?

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

deck the halls with bounds of holly .....falalalalalalalala.....

evidently, even though christmas is in the later parts of december, everyone seems ready for christmas.shopping centres are having toy fairs, supermarkets are promoting their newest christmas products like trees and whatnot, and kids are happier going to stores.

meanwhile.....i'm bored.... and reading more than ever.

i miss school. everyday i face the presence of cousins who dun talk to me and share nearly nth in common with. sure , they read manga and watch anime like i do, but sadly, i am actually one of the lightweights , while my cousins are very much into the games.

to be frank, i can't wait till i'm in hong kong. 16 more days, then i'm away from this hot, somehow exciting but not that much of a country to a country that has more flash and pomp.not to mention more mountains and ocean.gods i miss the city so much.
but then again, i actually like this place....what with more frens here that i can trust and relate to. in hong kong the only ones here are the rich kids and those who are back on holiday. let's face it, the rich kids and i dun swing together. they have a colourful good life out there. i'm not one to spoil things for them by bringing in much needed sacarsm and deadpan wit.

trust me,they benefit this way.

and i am so gonna miss talking online with frens everyday. i can only get internet connection if i go out to internet cafes and let's face it....they are always so crowded....on the plus side, i am so bringing my phone and ipod with me.
my ipod bringing much entertainment to me. and i'll bring both chargers with me too...(beneficial to always buy chargers that are not used by computers.....thank god i bought a charger that can be charged anywhere in the household.)

by the way, just in case u guys dun read the class blog....07a2's class outing is next week! details about it? well.....it's no zoo....but it does have food involved.... so steamboat and bowling at the marina then!*

just a thought...are humans really meant to take over this world as we know it?
or were some other animals supposed to take over?like i dunno....what would happen if squirrels took over this world?

(drools off.....giant squirrel...........)

*now that i think bout it.....if people dun read the class blog...will they even read my blog to know about it in the first place? wow.....

"We victimize ourselves. but when we do so , we disqualify ourselves from the human race."

-Rev. Dr. Ulf Ekman.

these are the words that i have carried with me since this morning's church sermon at City Harvest Church

"How could this be happening?" , screamed the townspeople of timbuktu as the walls of their country tumbled and collapsed."how could champa be visiting a church on a sunday morning?!the world is coming to an end! see even our walls are breaking!!! it's impossible!!"

unfortunately, it's true. not that timbuktu is collapsing. i did go to church today. now before u get all preachy on me, viewers , let's clear the fog around religion.
though my mom is a staunch buddhist and prefers me to be one too, i however , am a free thinker, and am open towards any religion that comes my way. thus, i take opportunities like this to observe religions like christianity and stuff.i happened to stumble upon an interesting sermon, as they had a visiting reverend from sweden to preach today's sermon. todays sermon was about suffering, how it affects us and how as christians should we proceed to deal with it. hm....confusing?

(by the way, rev ulf ekman is a really good speaker. seriously. when he was preaching i gave him a score based on my judging criteria for oratorical. for fluency and articulation, i gave him a 8. content was an 8...well u try taking a subject like suffering and trying to break it down for the general christian public of chc to understand. it's hard! and for stance.....i gave him a 10. he's really good at capturing people attention.but moving back to where i was.....)

being the scattered brain that i am, i couldn't rmbr most of the things he said...("as usual .." says an undisclosed source eating banana fritters in the middle of the living room carpet.) but some parts of his sermon did leave me in deep thought.

one part mentioned that we as humans* should strengthen people's lives through outlets such as forgiving , letting go of grudges and forgetting past misdeeds. as the great rev says," i am not my brother's prosecuter , neither is my brother my prosecuter."

sigh....as much as i hate this....i have to agree he is right. the phrase," an eye for an eye " has been used too long in this world. since the beginning of time, men has attacked people or declared enemies of one another due to vengeance. unfortunately, not only has not much use has been made for it, much of the world has been destroyed thanks to these fights. if u dun agree, ask world war one and its destructive relative, world war two.even though i myself believe in the philosophy that , "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", i have to admit it's not doing me much good. heh....as the wiccan law says," what u send out in the world will come back three times to you."

the next part he brought up was the fact that people ask, if there is a god, why does he let bad things happen? why does he seem to bless your good neighbour but not you? thus, they blame a lot of things, from the neighbour to god himself. his view was that we as humans* see ourselves as victims and always victimize ourselves . but by doing this, we are disqualifying ourselves from the human race eg. not acting in our best capabilities to contribute more in the world. thus, the best way? when things get bad, dun blame your neighbour, dun blame your circumstances, dun blame god, but of course dun blame yourself. the best thing is to find a way to get out of your situations by finding new ways or solutions, instead of using the same old solution again and again...

wait....that was who moved my cheese?.

once again he is right. when in times of situations or fights, many blame many things, from people to the stars to even the gods above.

take this verse from edmund in act 1 scene 2 of king lear:

This is the excellent foppery of the world, that,
when we are sick in fortune,--often the surfeit
of our own behavior,--we make guilty of our
disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as
if we were villains by necessity; fools by
heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and
treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in,
by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion
of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish
disposition to the charge of a star! My
father compounded with my mother under the
dragon's tail; and my nativity was under Ursa
major; so that it follows, I am rough and
lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am,
had the maidenliest star in the firmament
twinkled on my bastardizing.

heh...basically( to those who dun understand shakespearean language like me , my classmates and those who did king lear.): when we are in bad fortune, which is often the fault of us, we blame our fortunes on the moon, stars and fortune.

some humans fail to recognize that the fault is theirs, prefering to blame others and the elements for their misfortune. this perhaps may be due to their state in denial.however, this is a stupid idea, cause 1) denial is something which only u can't see. thus. when u are the one in denial, u are the one looking stupid. unfortunately, it is also easy to fall in the other way, by blaming you and you alone. which is not good ytoo....you'll sink into an earlier depression and by the time u get out of it, you'll most probably be some 45 year old spinster with 5 cats who lives alone.thus .....stop living in the past! stop blaming youself !neither should u blame others! find another solution to your problem and then sail free!!!

thus, my decisions.....

1) i will not be a vengeful person. this means that the vengeance i have accumulated over the years will be dropped, slowly and gracefully. i will not be the one who becomes a bitter person in her 40s who forgets how to have fun just because no one likes her. but this will hAve to develop slowly, cause i'm not good at dropping revenge just like that.

2) i will not become a self pitying person. i have slipped into that stage once or twice and i shall move on from all the things i couldn't fix. that thing with marco? gone, that thing with YR? gone. that thing with HIM now? well.....that'll be gone too. i'm gonna live for myself now, and i won't fall so easily to what i thought was love again..

thus, this meant that champa is currently running out of time to relay what she did today. ah well, dun worry, fyifyi's blog has the details. anyway, i am falling sick now.......going to try to sleep it off.

ps. a funny thing happened yesterday. while trying to sleep , i resorted to watching avril lavigne's "when you're gone". now even though i did not suffer from any depressing stuff earlier that day, somehow i just started crying while watching the video.perhaps a way of telling me my emotional problems, currently on a standstill, is hurting me?

note to self: dun ever cry during the sad videos again. it's hurting yourself.and your rep as a tough girl.

list of things people should never have to go through.

10) i/c renewal.

let's afce it. you queue up, u wait ten years, u take a photo and after the ordeal is over, u still have to go through the waiting for the stipulated time to get the damn card.

9)role as a bridesmaid/flowergirl/best man/ whatever goddarn impt role.

u go through all the trauma with the fitting of the dresses and rehearsal of the roles for what? so that everything u prepared for is over in a day? not to mention the humiliation of the dresses not fitting you and stuff. oh yes, as if that weren't enough, all the relatives have to come up and say," oh look at the pretty girl, see how tall she has grown?" when all u wanna do is play with the other kids.

8)boredom.

boredom. in all it's mind stuffing relativity.need i say more?

7) frens that keep breaking u down bit by bit.

have u ever have one of those frens that keep giving u snide comments about u and how u look and stuff? not the joking joking one, of course, but really subtle snipes?honestly, it just makes u wanna come up to them, scream ,"I DON'T CARE!" and run off into the sunset.

6)people that keep bringing up things that were OVER years ago.

have u ppl ever gotten that? HAVE YOU ?

5)people who complain when u get all bitchy.

well, guess what! i get to be bitchy once in awhile cause i've been too goddamn nice to u ppl!!! for that matter, i hate it when ppl ask me to chill. especially when all i'm doing is being enthu. hm.....let's see, why can't i be the enthu one? is it wrong? IS IT?

4)receiving no call or message from a fren u have been hoping will help u get through the crisis.

i hate these ppl. nothing can be worse than them. excuse me, some ppl are so miserable that they wish u can help them and u dun reply or call to check on them when they are clearly in a bad state?! what is wrong with u ppl? i think, i have other problems or stuff like that may be reasonable, but excuse me, taking some time out may help.

3)people who ignore u or your suggestions.
excuse me, i wanna talk too! but does anyone care ? NO! guess that means i'm too nice to you ppl, sometimes, when i know it's polite not to interrupt ppl,that does not mean, u get to override the person giving suggestions.and sometimes it's even worse...

2) people tearing apart your room.

when the people surveying your air con tear apart the wall to get it, u can be sure that there will be no computer time for you. or peace for that matter.

and the number thing ppl should not have to go through

1) BEING IGNORED BY AN ENTIRE CLASS.

NO HELP, NO FEEDBACK, NO SUGGESTIONS, AND NOBODY CARES.

most people would say, "wow, aint she just a bitch."

well guess what? i am a bitch when i want to.

i hate being in an artistic family.

everyone is so much more artistic than i am.

damn it.

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

*much later*

i went to jurong point to get otomen (finally)!

heh, the whole book is all pink and sparkly....perhaps i should consider never reading anymore girly shojo.......

but tt's impossible! cause the most funny comics are sometimes shojo!

sigh....

anyway, i just went to chan wan yi's blog and i got a surprise cause she had documented her pri school reunion with the guys without me , or angeline for that matter.....

thus , i would like to take the opp to say.............

THANK YOU, CHAN WAN YI! U FINALLY COMPLIED WITH WHAT I WANTED AND DID NOT INVITE ME TO ANOTHER PRIMARY SCHOOL REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I'LL MAKE SURE I'LL SEND U OFF WHEN U GO TO AUSTRALIA!!!!!

ps- i am not being sacarstic in this post. u ppl out there know how much i hate reunions.so u can at least comprehend my happiness.

by the way, i helped fyifyi edit this article and with her permission , i am submitting it here :

I am extremely flabbergasted and utterly disgusted by the behavior of European tourists.
I am not referring to them generally, but to some whose behaviour corrupts their country’s reputation
and tarnishes the country’s image. Recently, I saw a video clip regarding three British men bullying
an old trishaw operater who operates a trishaw in Singapore. These people serves us as examples
of people who do not have values for the welfare of elderly and are sadistic enough to even to go the extent of
verbally abusing old working people.

Before i go on, let me reiterate once more that i am not trying to stereotype all British males , for there is
no proof that all males from Britain behave this way, and i am not trying to discriminate the whole barrel of apples
just because of a few bad ones.But truly, the three males in this case showed no respect to the country they were visiting
instead merely showcasing how big a disgrace they are , not only to their fellow peers back in Britain, but also to the
human race. What they did was seriously cruel and there was no show of sympathy at all to the trishaw puller.

Let's view it in this way , shall we?

Old trishaw operator = about 60+ years old

Objective= cycle 3 big-sized men for a distance late in the night.

Total weight of the three men= 200 odd kilograms

(Take into account not only the age and size of the trishaw, but also the energy the trishaw operater needed to cycle)

Conclusion: Apparently, judging from the size of the old man who is stocky ,he does not have the energy to cycle quickly due to his age.
Ironic, because there is an expectation from the three men for him to move quickly.

A trishaw is meant to be ridden SLOWLY, and the three expected it to be FAST which is , in many cases,
impossible, unless the trishaw operator happens to be the Flash.

After a distance, they decided to get off the trishaw and get on board with a cab.However, despite
the trishaw trip costing a mere sum of ten dollars ,they refused to pay up the sum .
Worst still, they recorded the entire scenario on tape and posted it on YouTube, thinking that the situation was hilarious,
thus attracting the people of the virtual world to view the recording.In my opinion, people who do things like this
are more or less failures in their lives , hoping for glory and their 15 seconds of fame through actions such as this.
It also shows how much more the British education system has to go to inculcate civics and moral education for
as we can in the above situation discussed, it did not seem to get into their heads. In the end, the poor old man was scoffed at
and mocked at in English. When it was apparent that he did not understand a single word of what they said , they left in a cab
leaving a disillusioned old man.

When the reporters interviewed the old man, he revealed that the three ‘ang moh’ men were despicable
and they had refused to pay up the sum of money for the ride despite repeatedly asking them several times.
He, as well as many other people in this world, whether old or young are just trying to make a living in this world
so i believe that they have a right to get the money they earned, thus i fail to understand just what it was that made theses three young gentlemen
unable to pay up the price of ten dollars, unless the pound dropped drastically and they were actually poor as church mice.
Thus, it is to my conclusion that they were deliberately making a mockery of the old man, knowing very well that he did not
understand English and ,due to his age , not enough strength to retaliate against them, putting the cherry on top when they decided
to take a cab ,leaving the old man in despair.

The above situation only shows the cold hearted-ness of some humans. Unfortunately, Singapore is not the only country that faces situations
just like this and this case actually applies to situations of other countries as well. However,this situation is more prominent due to the lack of
filial piety and respect to the eldery , which is a direct strike against our own values, thus stirring up the emotions of our fellow people. We empathize
with the old man because we have sympathy, unlike the three gentlemen who have no sympathy for the old man. With this in mind, it is of my opinion
that there should be legal prosecution of these three men and compensation towards the trishaw operater .After all, in a society like Singapore, actions
like this are a direct hit against our values and cannot be let off lightly.

"Feeling Good"

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
blossom in the trees you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you
know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

damn muse for making a good song . damn laurent for sending me this song. damn me for getting addicted and falling in love with this song.

i just realized that i suffered utter humiliation at melvin's party at first.

it was decided i'll walk out first so that i can act as the darn bodyguard or something

so there i was , 1.66m tall, swaggering with confidence and gutso that could only be found in the walk of a warrior,only to walk in the completely wrong direction.

i do this all the time. either when i look supremely cool i will fall or trip over something , thus losing my coolness, or i look good......then no one notices me!!!!

i hate being ignored.

perhaps i shall do a list of what i hate.

TOP LIST ON THINGS CHAMPA HATES.

1. being ignored
2. dirty water. you'll understand.
3. running around a track for NO REASON. excuse me, i believe 2.4 is no such excuse for running.
4. people who keep trying to persistently convert me towards their faith. i have a mind u know.that mind tells me....for now no religion.
5. insects that are unusually big for their species. i hate giant ants. i hate giant grasshoppers, i do not fancy praying mantises.
6. people who do not recognize that sunday is a day of relaxation. what part of r and r do u guys not know?
7. dead bugs. dead humans i can handle, deadlines i can handle. squashed bugs that are dead? NUH-UH
8. people who insist that screaming in my ear is allowed. i'm going deaf as it is, and u want to make it worse? what's wrong with you?
9. people who think it is alright to insult me in front of people. i mean, joking insults is okay, but to sulk while doing it? you're messing with the wrong person, chica.
10. bicycles. i dun really hate them, it's riding them i hate. i can't ride a bike.
11. people who make promises without intention to keep them. oath breaker.
12. people who insist i wake up early even when there is no reason to.
13. ultra boring lessons.
14. people who keep looking at me with dirty glances
15. people who hate me.
16. people whom i hate
17. constraint of people.obstruction of freedom.
18. people who keep insisting i'm wrong
19. eggplant
20. beans

well, this is what i have so far.

the reliable conclusion, i hate people, not things.

says it all really.

to rescue myself from boredom, ive been researching on my fav. cartoon Daria that used to play on MTV, except i dun have cable, so i could never watch it and even worse, the dvd of this show is MISSING. i blame the numerous songs they used on the show that has caused them to be unable to find copyright releases.

thus, i present to u, a taste of Daria Morgendoffer's Rules to Follow in School:

MTV's Daria Morgendorffer, that sarcastic, slacker chick we all know and love, gives up her secrets for a successful school year. Use them at your own risk.

1. Never make eye contact with a teacher who utters the words "school spirit" or "extra credit."
2. If something seems really stupid, it probably is.
3. Avoid dating guys whose names are verbs, such as Rip or Slash.
4. It's okay to swap outfits with your friends... but not during class.
5. Whatever that smell in your locker is, it's not going to improve with time.
6. Never accept a collect call from a prison inmate, unless it's one of your former teachers.
7. Teachers prefer book reports that are neatly typed on a computer over those scrawled in lipstick on a supersized Mr. Goodbar wrapper.
8. Nail polish is meant to be applied externally.
9. Avoid after-school jobs that involve mopping up blood.
10. No matter what pressure is brought upon you, avoid the Salisbury steak.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.....i love that girl. she's one of the only few character's i can really relate to . heh. guess it's the resemblance? but then again, she's more deadpan and monotonous than i am, being one of the few that can really do extreme moodswings. daria on the otherhand is more of the.......stuck in one particular mood at a time kinda girl. but then again, i love her very witty quotes that i try to use once in awhile.

take this , for example:

Helen: Daria, your father's trying to tell you not to judge people until you know them. You're in a brand-new school in a brand-new town. You don't want it to be Highland all over again.
Daria: Not much chance of that happening... unless there's uranium in the drinking water here, too.

Ms. Li: As you can see, our Lawndale high students take great pride in their school. That's why you'll each be taking a small psychological exam to spot any little clouds on the horizon as you sail the student seas of Lawndale High.
Daria: S.O.S., girl overboard.
Quinn: Nobody told me about any test!
Daria: (sarcastically) Don't worry. It's a psychological test. You're automatically exempt.
Quinn: Oh. All right.

Mrs. Manson: Now, Dora, let's see if you can make up a story as vivid as your sister's.
Daria: It's Daria.
Mrs. Manson: I'm sorry... Daria. What do you see in the picture, Dara?
Daria: Um... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.
Mrs. Manson: Uh, there aren't any ponies. It's two people.
Daria: Last time I took one of these tests they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever I wanted.
Mrs. Manson: That's a different test, dear. In this test, they're people and you tell me what they're discussing.
Daria: Oh... I see. All right, then. It's a guy and a girl and they're discussing... a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free across the plains.

Quinn: It's not a mall, it's the super mall! The Mall of the Millennium. Shop there forever!
Daria: If you play that John Lennon song backwards, it says: imagine all the people...browsing in a mall. Isn't that weird?

Helen: Daria, you can't live in that box forever!
Daria: I can once they put in my high speed Internet connection.

heh.....these are just a few quotes, but already they are so funny that i couldn't help but chortle.

anyway....people out there! this show's really nice! if i hear anything about you guys slamming th show or something equally bad as that....i'll hamtum you people for
sure.

crap, now i sound like max. not funny.

i've just realized something.

I HAVE GROWN SHALLOW!!! ARGH!!!!!!!

i mean compared to all the other blogger's and writers out there, i dun brood about life, or muse about my past. i have become what i swore i will not become!!

i'm no writer, i'm just a recorder!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FEEL SO SHALLOW!!!
AND DIRTY!!!!
ARGH!!!!!!

WHY CAN'T I WRITE ABOUT MY FEELINGS ABOUT LIFE AND STUFF! ALL THE OTHERS CAN? WHY CAN'T I!!!!!!!!
