just downloaded some songs from a 11 bands i never knew about. went to Alex's
myspace and saw this comment with a
playlist in it. so i decided to listen to every song in that
playlist and download whatever that is nice.

Madina Lake, Less Than Jake, There For Tomorrow, Thrice,
Saosin. have u heard of them before? i only know The Maine. their songs are of all the same genre. exactly what i love to listen to...
haha. now i don't need to worry about listening to the same songs over and over
again.

april fool's day! (Friday, April 3, 2009 / 8:58 PM)
(pls bother to read this post, i took a long time to post this) OMG! this week was amazing. i have so many things to talk about that i don't know where to start. okay, april fool's day was on wednesday, xenia and i planned to play a few tricks on some classmates. on that very day, i brought my dummy phone. i went in front of ppl and started talking to them, then i started using a whiteboard marker to draw the phone. ppl were like what the hell was i doing. in the end, i showed them the phone. haha, i tricked them. what a great dummy phone, it looks so real and the model hasn't even been launched yet.
during recess, when most of the ppl were out of the classroom, xenia and i switched ppl's pencil cases. it was so fun looking at ppl when they found out the contents in their pencil cases are not theirs. they started blaming other ppl. hong yee was the first to realize. i was laughing i a corner. the first person hong yee blamed was clarence. then he asked joel f. joel said he did not take anything. then when he looked into his pencil case, he realized the contents have been switched. the same happened to shi an and lionel.
after school, jessica, yi qing, LYN, xenia, si ya and i went to pizza hut for lunch. we met qing yi and clarence there. mei ping and candice ate at KFC. everyone was eating the same thing except me. yi qing talked so loud. the lady from the next table was looking at us. so embarrassing! then yi qing, candice, LYN, xenia and i went to si ya's house. we watched 'The Exorcist' it was quite scary. i was the one who made the most sound effects. haha, i was screaming like hell. yi qing was not even watching the movie, she was hiding behind a pillow. later, we played 'The House' it was not that scary as we played it before. but since xenia was the newcomer, we had to play the game. then, we played 'Win a Million' it was interesting. we could not reach a million. oh ya, i was trying to tune si ya's guitar, but i totally forgot how each string is supposed to sound like... haha, i made it worse. si ya's dog was biting on her socks. she thought they were LYN's.

okay... completed my DnT and presented today. i did not prepare my speech, i just went in front of the class and was thinking of what to say at hat very moment. unlike yi qing who had such a long script... ahaha. whether i made it for junior show, i'm not so sure bout that. today mrs ang was on course. i was listening to the song chu yu ning sent me- tracks of my tears. ADAM LAMBERT ROCKS!
watched some music videos with anila. we were watching 'i write sins not tragedies'. speed was like 'stop playing that song, i like it too much'. then he took my phone and turned it to the loudest. then he placed 2 blocks beside and a calculator on top. the sound was REALLY loud. later he put the phone in some tube thing. the sound was really weird.
during english class, we were supposed to do this thing on incident reports. speed buttoned the top of his shirt, pulled his pants up, and combed his hair to the side. he looked so NERD! then during chinese class, speed was making all these weird hairstyles. and i passed chinese! chu yu ning passed too...

CONFUSED!! (Sunday, March 29, 2009 / 11:24 AM)
ARGH! have you ever felt as if your friend has like left you for someone else. i don't know. but, someone u treasure most and always waiting for that person to come to school just so you can talk to him/her?. what if you see your best friend found someone new, someone better than you and left you aside. you see him/her talking away more happily than when he/she is talking to you. you think that you are not as good a friend than that somebody. i don't know if i should still stick with you or move on? i'm stuck, confused. i feel that i want to stick with u but i also feel that i'm not 'best' for u. if i go with other ppl, i feel like i'm 'betraying u' because i've known u for so long. i want to be your best friend, but it doesn't seem that you want me to be your best friend. ever since you have found another someone who makes you 'alive', i feel like you have dump me aside. where should i go from here?

How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light.- Barry Lopez
