Y'know what? I don't think I'll be putting a blog that only my true friends would see. I suddenly feel a whole lot better now, talking to some of my friends. Thanks.
Recovering from a sudden burst of angstiness. Thanks, everyone. You just brought me back into reality.
On another note, no more netmaze. I may do one when I'm bored though.

True Annoyedness
I'm going to blog, but aie, it's not a happy one, and I'm doing my best not to put it here. And I'm setting this just for my friends. So I'm going to make a netmaze later. I know the people who should read that blog all know how to get past it.
Thanks, Herrick.
Thanks, Herrick.

Jun Yi: Dude I don't post lyrics for nothing
Jun Yi: The lyrics always mean something to me
Herr: Do you realize that everyone would say that?
Jun Yi: You would know what I refer to in the lyrics
Jun Yi: Seeing as I remember telling you.
Herr: Yes, I do >_>
Herr: More and more the songs just sound plain angsty though >_>
Jun Yi: It's teenage hormonal influence

Jun Yi: Yeah okay.

I shan't talk about the argument since it's just plain bias towards both sides (I don't exactly like people posting just song lyrics, but that's just me. Jun Yi has his own opinion, I shan't bother with it >_>). What I find interesting is how the argument completely went off-topic. Aie. And hey, I don't post pure-song lyrics, but I do post chatlogs >_>

Angstiness
*sigh* I just realized I've suddenly become a whole lot more prone to angstiness than I ever have had. I've gone ultra-angsty 2 times this year already. Well, this discludes my P5 year where everything I thought was rather angsty >_> *sigh* I wonder how I can solve this. I suppose it's related to stress. I've been stressed rather more than I usually have. And that's been making me be more rash and mean these days. >_> Sorry if I offended you by accident >_>
I feel like destressing and being my usual nutty self again, so I made the Mini GG Screens. I can draw 35 chibis in 1 page >_> I'm at 23 =)
I've been thinking of my 3rd story for a long time but it's been stagnant just as long. I think I'm going to get the character names down soon (this week) and begin official writing directly after exams. =) That, and continue TNN. MUAHAHA.
Sorry, short blog, because I was really angsty yesterday. I don't feel like making this blog very angsty myself, so keep this blog happy!
"This blog runs on smiles." >_> I'm so bored I edited one of Donald's KH quotes >_>

More lyrics
Argh, I am tempted to post lyrics! Nuuuuuuu.
Xenosaga - Kokoro (Spirit)
I've been watching you awhile
Since you walked into my life
Monday morning, when first I heard you speak to me
I was too shy to let you know
Much too scared to let my feelings show
But you shielded me and that was the beginning
Now at last we can talk
In another way
And though I try, I love you,
Is just so hard to say
If I only could be strong
And say the words I feel
My bleeding heart begins to race
When I turn to see your face
I remember that sweet dream
Which you told to me
I wanted just to be with you
So we could make the dream come true
And you smiled at me and that was the beginning
Now at last we can talk
In another way
And though I try, I love you,
Is just so hard to say
If I only could be strong
And say the words I feel
Tell me what you're thinking of
Tell me if you love me not
I have so much I long to ask you
But now the chance has gone
When your picture fades each day
In my heart the memory stays
Though we rant, you're always smiling
And I will hold it long
-------------------------------------------
Xenosaga - Pain
First we touch, and we hurt each other
Then we tear our hearts apart
We are too close and I can feel the pain
Fill my empty heart
Is this pain too much for me
Can I stay the same
When this pain consumes my heart
Will I be able to hold on to my soul
Kindness is something I don't want or need
The sunshine would just dissolve me into light
Give me a pain as pleasing as your sigh
So I can feel you all the day and night
And keep me from fading away
Even when we behold each other
Somehow our eyes do not meet
And when you hold me in your strong embrace
Still I feel no heat
But it gives me such delight
To feel you closer now
I know I am true to myself
Though it cuts deep into my heart somehow
Kindness is something I don't want or need
The sunshine would just dissolve me into night
Give me a pain as pleasing as your sigh
So I can feel you all the day and night
And keep me from fading away
Kindness is something I don't want or need
The sunshine would just dissolve me into night
Give me a pain as pleasing as your sigh
So I can feel you all the day and night
And keep me from fading away
-------------------------------------------
Both are songs that I really like. Just had to post them, sorry. Bothered to download them again after I lost my other com to junkyardland >_>
Read the lyrics, please =)

CPR Test
By suggestion of Sergeant Fate, I have decided to blog about SJAB!
After skipping SJAB for like, what, 5 weeks? due to OM, I have finally managed to go to SJAB for once. Of course, I was expecting to be screwed over since I didn't manage to submit my excuse form (Mentioned in a blog further down) and surprisingly I was not. >_> I had asked Sheu Zhi for CPR notes on Wednesday but he didn't bring it (I forgot to remind him) so basically I was noteless >_> And extremely stressed becuase fail CPR = fail, and that I heard a whole lot of people failed many times before passing. Like Michael Wee (Whom I usually hear is ultra-on) failed 4 times because the chest wouldn't rise in his dummy o_O Then he switched dummies during the 5th try and passed >_>
I asked Kevin Wong for notes, and he started getting really annoyed at me because he's going into NCO Camp and I'm not >_> (He's been trying to kill me for a while now because he says I'm more 'on' than him and he's going into NCOC, not me >_>) Anyway, he lent me Teik Siang's notes so I was fine. I just needed to remember the minor mistakes and I should be fine... that's what I thought. So I head for SJAB with my 1.25l waterbottle.
But wait! I had a meeting to go to regarding the Public Speaking Competition! So I head over to Mdm. Susila first. And she talked and talked UNTIL IT WAS FRICKING PAST 2! Kevin Wong and I were ultra-stressed after it went past 1.30 >_> Why? We didn't study for our CPR >_>
So we went over to SJAB a few minutes late. Luckily we informed Ms.Tan that we'd be late so we weren't punished or anything. Then we head over to the Language Rooms for our CPR test: Me, Kev Wong, and Boey. Dheeraj comes later. Anyway. We go into the lang room and see Staff John. B. he tells us that we'll fail if we have 1 major mistake (Skip any step of CPR) or 5 minor mistakes (Any minor error, seriously.). Should we fail once, we get one more try. Since major errors are obviously easy to prevent, I started to ask Kev for what the minor procedures were. And I learnt some of them.
Kev heads in. He fails. He forgot 2 ventilation breaths. IOW, 1 major mistake.
Boey goes in. He fails. He forgot 3 steps. IOW, painful.
Dheeraj goes in. 7 minor mistakes. He fails.
I go in.
"LCP Herrick, take this antiseptic tissue paper and clean the dummie's mouth. If you do not do this properly the SJAB Committe will not be held responsible for any illness you might receive. Then, please adjust the dummy in any position you may choose. Oh, and, LCP Herrick, congratulations on your OM."
"o_O uhh... *snaps back to reality* Thank you, Staff."
I proceed to fail for forgetting to check neck injuries >_> 1 major mistake, 5 minor mistakes.
Kev goes in again and passes. Staff didn't ask him to go back to Bus Bay so he stays and chats with us >_>
Boey goes in. Takes an ultra-long amount of time. Ms.Tan pops by and heads into the Lang room to check it out. Watches Boey. Bet she was giggling >_> Ok, maybe not. Anyway, when he came out, turns out that he failed two times at the very start so Staff John. B. decided to give him more chances. So he passed in the end. Yay.
Ms. Tan comes out and chats with us a bit about Psc. Advantages of having your Psc Teacher as one of those teacher ICs.
Dheeraj goes in and passes. Whee, my turn.
I go in. Just before giving initial breaths I get a cramp >_< so I ask Staff John. B. to wait a moment since I had a cramp. He helps me into recovery position for cramps. So I go on. I made 3 minor mistakes and no major mistakes. I pass! Yay.
We go to bus bay and see Sergeant Keith Chua and Sergeant Jeremy Ee. We report to Sergeant Keith. Keith wants us to go join the people doing jumping jacks. Wondered why they were doing punishments. Jeremy comes forward and says to take Dheeraj and Boey and let them join the people doing jumping jacks. He told Kevin Wong and I to join the people marching (the people who weren't punished) since apparently we were very on. o_O So we join them and march. o_O
Jeremy Ee was in a good mood. He didn't shout at us much compared to usual. In fact he was staring at the Canadian International School's students play Tennis and was commenting on how much they sucked >_>
After Drill = PT! Sheu Zhi ran against Keith Chua. Lost by a small bit though. Didn't need to run the 2.4 after that because 'Sheu Zhi has initiative!' so we ran 2.4. Bleh, bad idea to run when you are sick. I nearly died >_> So I gave up doing PT on an illness and told Officer Edward that I was sick. He let me rest. Kev Wong got the illness from 2.12 too, so he also told Officer Edward he was sick. Bleh. Sucks to be sick >_>
Went for dismissal at 6.30. Yay! No more SJAB this term. Can focus on OM and Midyears.
----------------------------------
OM Celebrations. (Figured I might as well blog about this)
First Celebration (Directly after OM Competition): Headed over to Gid's house to eat chips and pizza and watch House of Flying Daggers.
Lesson learnt in watching House of Flying Daggers: Gideon is a cynic when it comes to movies and he does an extremely good job at it. He somehow manages to point out every single little mistake we never seem to catch. Like how in the snowing scene absolutely no snow fell on the cast. >_> Now I know that if you watch a movie with Gid, the movie instantly becomes a bad movie, unless it's extremely good like Phantom of the Opera (Which I didn't manage to see. MY LIFE ROCKS! *sigh*)
Personal review:
Bleh. Love story. Fighting. WHAT ELSE IS THERE? This movie didn't exactly make me satisfied. I mean, plot twist! *10 minutes* Plot twist! *10 minutes* Plot twist! etc. After a while the story just fails to let you be happy. For all bad writers reading this blog this means that plot twists don't make a good story. =)
OM Celebration no.2:
Went over to Ms.Loh's house. Zhang and Kev were there already. Ms.Loh asked me if I wanted any drinks so I asked for Green Tea >_>
Then we listened to Dick Lee. Zhang keeps laughing for reasons unknown. Then by my request we listened to classical music. All hymns.
The condominium which Ms.Loh stays in is beautiful. The scenery is nice. The architecture is nice. Her house is nice too. >_>
Job and Gid came after that. Peaceful listening and satiscation --> UTTER CHAOS! When Gid came. He took out Running With Scissors by Weird Al and made Ms.Loh listen to Albuquerque. Lol, Even Ms.Loh laughed. Josh came, then Isaac and Henry. Then we began our discussion about OM.
Ferdinand Quek came in while we were having our discussion. Completely interrupted the flow, and interrupted what Ms.Loh said too. Was near 6 then, so I didn't think I'd get to eat anything >_>
Then I realized I got 1 missed call and 1 message from Dad. He'd pick me up at 7! Yay. So at 6.15 or so we head down to the barbeque pits. It's next to the exercise parks so we played around a bit. JOSH CAN DO 4 PULLUPS! I think Isaac can do pull ups too. I could only do 2 =( No one else could do pullups >_>
Then we played around and managed to find a basketball. JOSH CAN SHOOT FROM HALFCOURT! ARGH! and my basketball skills have seriously detiorated. So we play some more. Argh. It is near 7. The barbeque fire isn't up because Gideon threw leaves, paper and Al into the fire. *sigh* So all I could eat were pre-cooked pork ribs. So I ate 3 pork ribs and went to Grandfather's place. Whee.
Well, that's all, folks! Muahaha. >_>

1000 Visitors
Whee, 1k visitors! Well, I considered the least I could do is continue blogging. >_>
I don't know what to blog about, actually. Life is pretty decent over here. Nothing particularly out of place or what for me to blog about. Hmm. Sorry. I just have no idea what to blog about. Post something for me to blog about on the tagboard and I'll blog about it >_>

OM Champions
"We are the champions, my friends..." - We are the Champions
OM has been the most tedious thing I've done so far but also definitely one of the most rewarding. Back then I was talking about all my SJAB profeciency badges being lost? Guess what? I don't really care much about that right now.
Let's talk about pre-OM first. On Thursday, I suddenly forgot to pass the SJAB Excuse Form to Ms. Tan Boon Chui. IOW, screwed for SJAB. On Friday, I decided to pass it to her since I had Psc Prac anyway. Then everyone in OM was excused from school. So I decide to put it on Kev Wong's table and write "Please pass to Ms. Tan Boon Chui. Thanks. Demelong" and I forget that Kev Wong wasn't at school. Oh well, I think, Boey sits next to him. Should be fine. NOT. Boey is an idiot and decides to put my nicely-filled out excuse form on my table. I = Screwed for SJAB. *sigh* I feel quite humiliated this is how I get AWOL for SJAB.
Anyway, back to nicer subjects.
For Spontaneous: Name a Silly Holiday and the Silly ways people celebrate it. For example, you might say "Today is Onion-cutting day where everyone just cries all day." Verbal Question (Isaac and Job sits out)
Order: Gideon, Kevin, Henry, Joshua, Watashi.
Gid: Bhangrah Day where everyone screws a lightbulb with one hand and pats a dog with the other.
Kev: Sunday, where people eat 10-tons of Ice-cream.
Josh: Saturday, where we sit around and go urrrrr.
Me: Vesak day, but no one actually knows what it meant anyway.
Gideon: Monday, where everyone goes "Heyman, whatchadoinman, etc"
Kev: Surprise Day, where everyone goes AROOOOOOOOOOOOOGA *Trademark line*
Henry: Pirate's Day, where everyone starts going "Pirates at 2 o'clock!" *Trademark line*
Josh: In reality, we don't know what Vesak day is, because Vesak! *Teamwork*
Me: In reality, on Pirate's Day, everyone goes around making Arrrr-rated jokes. *teamwork*
More memorable lines of the lot. We shoulda asked if we could continue. I bet we woulda trashed everyone very nicely if we could.
Long Term was even better. At 7 when we came, Ms. Loh and Mr. Quek were working on makeup for us. And also the hairdo. The hairdo looked pretty nice. I liked my first hairdo over my 2nd though. *Btw, this is the 2nd time in my life that I used hair gel. I wanna keep that figure low. 1st time was last year's GEP Enrichment camp.* Anyway. Just before the actual thing, I noticed my singlet was not in the box. I think wth. I say it to Henry, who thinks GREAT. He instantly checks the boxes and realizes there is an extra one in another box. I think phew. I check again. Turns out the 'extra singlet in another box' was in my box all along. I checked Isaac's by accident. Hehe, sorry Hen for working you up so much >_>
Apart from that, Job forgot that I only flip the backdrop when I come back. So he was like "The backdrop, Henry!" and Henry was like "Oh noez!" and I was like in front going "On the first day of Autumn a leaf fell on me..." And I came back and flipped the backdrop over. Tada, problem solved.
Overall the skit was? Perrrrrfect. Honestly. The only thing we need to do for the world finals is change the props to fit world-standard. Everything else is perfectly fine. =)
I'll kinda miss doing OM till 9pm in lieu of everything. Since I'll have to go back to 3rd lang again. *sigh* Oh well, on May 15th... =)
I wanna go back to focus on my studies again, but at this rate? Ouch, schoollife just hits back hard.
Other ACS(I) teams mostly did well for the competition. All teams got 1st except for Mrs. Sharon Woon's team. I pity that group, it was really unexpected. The day before their structure could hol dup to 80kg+ weight. On the actual day it collapsed at 30. Can you believe it? And they won Spontaneous and their skit was amazing too. Honestly, what a drag.
Aah, the nicest feeling was during the prize presentation. None of us had watched the Div 2 RGS team for our problem, so none of us knew how good they were. All we watched was the Div 3 RGS team, and they were amazing. What could we do but assume Div 2 was just as good as them? Good thing they weren't. =P Everyone in my team was so worried we'd lose *we didn't get tops for Spontaneous as we lost to Louistine by a few points hence we didn't know our positions* and we all thought we screwed up Spon as well, since well, all the teachers looked so emotionless and none laughed when we made good jokes. However, turns out they were so emotionless 'cause they were concentrating on whether to give us 3 or 5 marks. Lol. The irony, huh.
Anyway. We were all extremely worried, except me. I don't know why. I just felt really nonchalant towards the entire thing. That was on the outside. Inside I don't know, I must've subconsciously felt very nervous, since my pulse and heartbeat was the same as Henry's (he was darn nervous). We all jumped up in joy when we heard that we won. Even me. Man, I felt relieved. I don't know why, it was all so subconscious. Aah, that felt good though. Praise the lord. =)
One definite thing I learnt from OM though: PASTA GUNS ARE FUN!
To make a pasta gun:
Grab a piece of raw spaghetti.
Grab a piece of raw macaroni. Ideally not very curved. But not too straight either.
Push the spaghetti through the macaroni. If done correctly the bend in the macaroni causes the spaghetti to snap, and force it out. Tada, PASTA GUN! =)
Jarrel and I will soon go into taking a look at how Delay Shots are done (Enables really big bullets), and also what the ideal macaroni for distance is.
Kev hates us for overplaying around with it though >_>
OM has been the most tedious thing I've done so far but also definitely one of the most rewarding. Back then I was talking about all my SJAB profeciency badges being lost? Guess what? I don't really care much about that right now.
Let's talk about pre-OM first. On Thursday, I suddenly forgot to pass the SJAB Excuse Form to Ms. Tan Boon Chui. IOW, screwed for SJAB. On Friday, I decided to pass it to her since I had Psc Prac anyway. Then everyone in OM was excused from school. So I decide to put it on Kev Wong's table and write "Please pass to Ms. Tan Boon Chui. Thanks. Demelong" and I forget that Kev Wong wasn't at school. Oh well, I think, Boey sits next to him. Should be fine. NOT. Boey is an idiot and decides to put my nicely-filled out excuse form on my table. I = Screwed for SJAB. *sigh* I feel quite humiliated this is how I get AWOL for SJAB.
Anyway, back to nicer subjects.

Being sick
Here I am at home, sick when I should be at school doing my other subjects. Skipped OM yesterday to go see the Doc' at Clementi Polyclinic. I forgot to tell her of my exposure to mosquitoes so I'm not sure if she considered the possibility of Dengue. Oh wait, just checked symptoms of Dengue. She asked me for joint pains which I don't, so I should be a tad fine. Besides, if I still have my 38 degrees fever by Friday I need to check with the Doc' again, so I hope I'm fine by then. Besides, I need to go for OM.
The medicine I have seems to be working somewhat. My mucus decreased by my phlegm didn't. I guess this is 'coz I already had so much phlegm inside my throat in the first place.
Would blog more, but my head isn't working too well right now. Sorryz! Cyaz.

OM
OM is seriously getting stressful now. Yes, it is indeed ironic that I of all people are saying this instead of anyone else in the group, since I after all really made the least contributions on my own. What I did do, however, was help out here and there giving help to anyone who needs it, or running little errands like taking props here and there. I suppose I'm the type who's both a leader and a follower at the same time, eh.
Interestingly, I have the least contributions in the group, but I get shouted at less often by Henry than for people like Gid >_> Then again, like I said last year, it's the leader-follower thing. Both of them made contributions to the team. But the problem? Both are loggerheads. >_>
The one single time I did more than either of them was when I was cleaning up while both of them were arguing about who contributed more to the team. Whatever the case, I contributed less than them. Tell me, what have I contributed? o_O Well, I guess it's the thought that counts >_> Why can't we just be fwiends? =)
Ms. Loh doesn't want me to use that tricoloured dress-like garb with two strings of cloth tied to my hands for Spring. I hope I get to wear a dress instead of what she has in store for me, because what she has in store for me can't be anything good. It's most likely something overly revealing like Henry's miniskirt >_>
Speaking of Henry's miniskirt. Now Henry has to go about being the evil queen instead of the evil king in the last scene. And he has to act ultra-girl stereotypish, like looking at his nails, walking like on the catwalk, etc.
Henry: *Does a flirtatious look at me, winks.*
Herrick: *Collapses in agony and psychological damage.*
Kin Ming and Kevin Low: Henry! Remember that you are still male!!!!!
Henry *In a high pitched voice*: Is that so?
Kin Ming and Kevin Low: *Collapses in agony and psychological damage*
All 3 of us: Ma'am... get Henry to stop being so girlish...
Ms.Loh: He's just being 'in character'.
Henry: *winks again*
3 of us: Urghhhhhhhh...........
To think that for OM we'll have to stay till 9 each day and Henry's going to act like that all 6 days *Tomorrow included*. This. Will. Be. A. VERY. Looooooooooooooong. Week. Sigh.
*Will never look at Henry and Josh the same way again*
----------------------------
Shaman King is interesting. Especially since Amidamaru (http://www.ponju.com/External/amidamaru.jpg) and Yoh ( http://www.digital-shadows.de/images/reviews/sham/shamanyou.jpg) act exactly the same. Just look at them, dangit.
Last Exile is also rather interesting, but I already knew that. Dio is scary, but he has the best line ever I've heard.
"Vanship #5, Report Current Status."
"Wakaranai! =)"
G-SEED Destiny is cool. Freedom Mk.II! Justice Mk.II! Destiny Gundam! Destroy Gundam... urgh. >_> Don't wanna talk about it.
---------------------------------
Life is at a standstill. Normal. Everything. Far too normal. I would continue. However this style of writing is just plain hard to do correctly. SO I SHALL STOP! Muahaha.
No random stuff to write on apart from the above, so ta ta!
*Note: I will not post for the entire next week until Friday because of OM. *sigh**

IB
Sorry I didn't post. Yester-yesterday I was feeling EXTREMELY angsty (Yes, so unlike me.). I woulda posted an angsty post, but I switched off the com anyways. What it was about? I shan't tell you, because I felt perfectly normal the next morning >_>
Anyway.
OM is getting to its climax point now. All of us have put in our effort *Cash is a different matter >_>* and after some statistics changing of Henry's $60 used on 2m cloth into $3 (The price Gid, Ms.Loh and I managed to get) for 2m, we have $150 used up from a $200-250 budget (Change from US, so I'm not sure). Anyway. We've all done much in each little aspect. But Ms.Dharma says we can jazz it up some more. So WE WILL! Muahaha.
Went for the IB talk. Everything there seemed pretty hard, ESPECIALLY ToK AND PoD. Then again, that's what happens when you deal in philosophy. Worst thing is that we have to pass that or we won't get the diploma. Anyway. I wonder whether I'll be able to get in. If I don't that's a REALLY bad sign. I hope I get in. I already can skip the psychoanalysis test anyway since I'm in the GEP. And I pay $12 per month while others pay $300+ per month because I'm on the GEP scholarship =)
I wonder what subjects I'll take in IB, though. There's only 6 choosable subjects, ToK, 3rd lang, and if I'm not wrong CASL. That's 9. Well, I think by then I should be able to take it.
Kiddy Grade has ended. The 2nd last episode was really sad. I was sniffing a bit. But that was the front part of the story the part after that was rather heartwarming. And I don't put on a cold front when I'm watching anime >_> It's interesting how both Eclair and Dverg act in nearly the same way when it came to their children. It's... touching, I guess.
Shaman King comes after Kiddy Grade. 1st Ep: Interesting. Amidamaru in the ED looks very weird though. >_>
Homework is stressing me rather badly, since I HAVE TO DO WELL OR I WON'T GET INTO IB. And especially since I had a mere B3 average of 65 when Jar and Gid both had 68. I must definitely do better on my Lsc and Geog. And my English and my Chinese.
Zhang was feeling really sad because he got 6th in class (without counting 3rd lang. 3rd lang included, he's 2nd.). I got, I dunno, 10-15th? That's around the average I guess. I was really annoyed at him for being sad for getting an A1 grade. I mean, if he's annoyed for getting an A1 grade, what should I be? Crying on the floor begging for forgiveness? Please. I don't understand angst that goes on really long. Actually, I do, because I just got a taste of it. And I will admit it nearly drove me mad. Well, I survived. =)
I'm still addicted to Destiny by Nami Tamaki. Pity I don't understand the lyrics.=(
Anyway.
