Gasp!

Vivian Dawson is so hawt.
Wow, no wonder he won Cleo's 50 most eligible bachelors.
He looks like Utt! Really.
His pecs are *gasp!*, it explains why girls went OH MY GOD *SCREAM* when he did his strip tease for the finals.

Hawt hawty hawt hawt.









Some girls asked Shing Yi to show them his pecs. LOL.
He paiseh XD

Love, baby, it's called love.

8:10 PM


Okay... So here's what you might have missed!

I can't remember much though.

On Saturday, I was walking to Kathib MRT station and I SAW....
Old aunties in tights/ fishnets and heavy makeup dancing to Barbie Girl.
I seriously had problem stiffling my laugh.

On the MRT I saw a tres cute guy(:
American accent, skater hair, asian!, jc, some rugby player.
I like the way he said,' You should have taken the test, man.'

On Saturday night, I read Natural Borned Charmer till 3.30am and woke up at 8.45am! Conclusion, sleep super late, wake up early.

Monday's AMath test was ah-mazing!
I finished the thing in 30 to 35 minutes out of the 50 given and spend the rest checking the paper and looking at people around me. Only Willy and Sheryl were done when I was.
The paper was easy :D Yay!

However, dance was painful.
My lower back aches so bad now. My shoulder hurt. My knees and ankles are starting to hurt. My stomach hurts. Oh, yay.
Hurts so bad when i sit down.

Oral was quite good. I think.
Lucky(: It wasn't difficult.

Today was funny. Spent all the time in lessons laughing.
Went home with Hui Xiang again(: to the library for an hour looking at books in every shelf.

Chinese today was interesting! I totally interesting lesson. Love the story she told surprisingly.
It was very very very... okat it just gets you thinking a lot.
Maybe it was a sin from his previous lives, something he had to atone. Or maybe it was just... meant to be.

When i grow up I'm never going to drink alcohol.
My mother just told me that one of the rules of Buddhism is not to drink, it's a sin. When you past away, they'll pour hot burning water down your throat.
To atone your sins.

I just read another picture book again.

I believe in fate and true love.
When i get married, I don't want a wedding dinner. I feel that it's useless. I mean, it's the best part of your life, why all the big feast? Animals must die to be served as food, I won't feel happy about it.
But I'm going to care a lot about the ceremony. I want it to happen on a beach, open space, white chairs, white sand, white tents by the side. It's going to be a white wedding(: The aisle lined with daisies of every colour. The sky is going to be pure solid blue with not many clouds. It's going to be breezy and not warm. The sea will be damn blue with little waves. I'll employ professional photographers to take pictures of the whole wedding. Oh yay(:
I'm going to go bloody happy when they say,' I now pronoune you husband and wife.' :D

Haha, okay.
Study! I feel so slack.

I've not been blogging

Natural Borned Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips is damn awesome.

My house shot circuit 4 times in an hour during the afternoon rain.

I keep singing Girl Put Your Record On.
I don't even have the song on my computer.
Gosh.


Gracias :D

Many many many many million thanks yous to Jun Xi.
He's so bombdiggity cool for giving me the box of M&M's and Gay City newspaper :D
Totally made my boring lethargic day 10 times better.

Last night, I couldn't sleep. So so so humid!
Came to school, humid again.
English was okay, Chemistry was slightly boring, Math was boring, Social Studies was so boring, Chinese was boring, Physics no teacher.
Did overdue English assignments throughout the whole day.
And also ate glutinous rice thingy and oreos. Amanda said, sitting next to me makes her hungry. My bad!

During Chem, it looked like it was going to rain, and I said,' Please please please! RAIN! RAIN!' And told Yun Chuan,' I'm so excited it's going to rain!' And he totally gave me the weird look.
During Math, I was so frustrated and agitated because I don't have any correction fluid or tape. It was soo soo soo irritating! So I totally stopped doing all my work and sat there and half slept.
During Recess, I raced down to get correction tape. So expensive! But you know what? I can't stand my work being messy, I wouldn't have the mood to even pick my pen up.
During SS, I'll quote Lionel, *points to Miss Ranjini's notes* 'So this is junk?' Totally, explained the whole lesson.
During Chinese, I slept halfway, woke up with a sore and stiff neck. Oh well.
During Physics I did more summary.
After last bell rung, 'Oh my gosh oh my gosh, I'm so excited to go home!' Yun Chuan gave me that weird look again.
On the way to Staff Room, saw Jun Xi. Yeah :D Spoke to him.
Came home and watched Totally Spies for 1 hour and fell asleep for the next hour and did homework.

I walked around with my paper bag saying Gay City.
People were staring, buzz off! Grrrr

I spent the first two days of school sleeping. So not healthy.

I love the Hershey plastic bags. Yay yay.

I love Friends.

Back to Math homework. Feeling super tired. Maybe I have a symptom called lethargicness.

Wrap it all up.

Saturday, March 21, 2009 10:33 PM
Tres tres major post.

Tuesday.

So, Lene asked me out for like 2 hours and asked me to dress to surprise her. I felt so overdressed for the ocassion.
I was walking out of my estate then my phone vibrated, beep beep. Looked at the new text. 'CAROLINE: omg I just saw you.' I started looking around me into the shops. No Caroline.
Texted back,'Where are you?'
It just happened that she was on the bus and it passed by my estate. How could she recognise me from so far? I do not know. Maybe it was the scarve.
Then, Car was so cool to wait for me at Yishun and we took the last cabin on the MRT together. She had clips on! I should have gotten a picture!
At ang mo kio, Car went down and Lene came on. But she did not know where the last cabin was so I saw her at the Bishan platform.
We roamed the library!! Horny Lene had her fill looking at book cover pages.
After about an hour in there, we went to Hagen Daz! So expensive, but I loved it. On the escalator up, this guy and his girlfriend was standing in front of us. When he walked away, I said, 'Nice shoes.' Lene went, 'Nice butt.' XD And she went into denial XD
We went down to eat a some KFC after that. Fries! Ugh.
And we parted ways):

Wednesday

I think I said,' I'm going to be so bright you'll need to wear sunglasses in the night to look at me.'

Thursday

Slacked off
Watched Sleeping Beauty on Disney channel.

Friday

Slacked off.
Watched Sleeping Beauty repeat again.
Watched Kingdom of Heavens. Orlando Bloom sure is hot! I wanted to watch LOTR, but no one wanted to):

Today

Tuition in the morning, then came home. Watched Meet the Robinsons on Disney Channel. So nice(: The ending was touching.
Dance. We learnt to tie the maiden hairstyle and i went around with it the whole day. Many thanks to Aleithia and Zena :D
I know, and at Thompson, I saw the Math HOD. Mrs Ong or Mdm Ong or something. She didn't recognise me, she came to pick her son up.
Saw Vel, and I was like, 'Don't comment on the hair, it took a lot of effort!' XD
On the train back about and hour and a half ago, people were staring at my hair. And they started staring at my Beatles bag. I'm going to quote Georgia Nicholson,' they were agog like two gogs'.

That's it.
I'm reading Georgia Nicholson again. Gosh, she's so funny.
Finally got book 4! And you know what? I want to read the whole thing again!!! Yes yes, oui!
She's my current favourite teen series. Because it's not full of elites and sex and drugs. It's just funny, and very funny.
I can't wait for book 10!

Sean's laughing a little too hard now I guess.

I sang a lot of Sex and Drugs and Don't Trust Me today. I can't get the songs out of my head.

OH and by the way John, I didn't need to camp in the toilet.
Maybe I have a bond with stupid-expired-by-so-long-packet-stupid soya bean milk :D

I want my Flickr views to hit 10,000.
So far away. Kinda. Well, it depends.

And I thought I posted this. But it was resting in my tabs.
Bleah.

FLICKRMAIL IS SO ADDICTIVE

Don't trust me!

Friday, March 20, 2009 1:45 PM
- 3Oh!3

Omg, I'm addicted to it.
I embeded the song there ->

The guy who did that video is a genius!
It's like 10 times more awesome than the original video.

Okay, speaking of the song. It's about a prostitude and that's it.
But it's so addictive! Like Sex and Drugs!
I can't stop singing it now.


Black dress, with the tights underneath.
I've got the breath of a last cigarette on my teeth.
And she's an actress, actress, but she ain't got no need.
She's got money from her parents in a trust fund back east.

T-t-t-tongues, always pressed to your cheeks.
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girl's teeth.
T-tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian, and I ain't fucking scared of him.


She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust `cause a ho
won't trust me.

She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, woah-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust
`cause a ho won't trust me.

X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands,
And the set list, you stole off the stage,
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page.

Br-br-br-bruises, cover your arms.
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm.
And the best is,(best is) no one knows who you are,
Just another girl: alone at the bar.

She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust cause a ho won't trust me.

She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust
'Cause a ho won't trust me.

Shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.

She wants to touch me who-oh.
She wants to love me who-oh.
She'll never leave me who-oh, who-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust
'Cause a ho won't trust me.

She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a ho.
Never trust a ho.
Won't trust 'Cause a hoe won't trust me.x2

What time is it?

11:01 AM
I wanted to take pictures this morning.
I actually got up at 8am? Then I somehow, and don't kno why, went back to sleep and just woke up. At 11am!
Having dance soon, so I can't take anything. Maybe when I get back.

More updates later about yesterday I hope.

Sad day.

Monday, March 16, 2009 10:33 PM
Why?

1. Utt was kissing Fiona Xie. *swears*
2. Hayden Christensen is getting married to Rachel Bilson, he proposed. *cries*

See?
And I had to take this two news within an hour. *sobs more*
It's worse than Aleithia finding out that Prince William is balding.

And I just had just google it.

Hmph, let's not care about that anymore shall me? We shall(:

Dance was tiring today.
Because I kinda watched Matrix last night.

Omg, it was so so so fun! Mega(:
Keanu Reeves was so drop-dead-perfectly gorgeous. Let's ignore the fact he's 2 years older than my Mummy, and focus on his perfect features.
Like Christian Bale's.

Dance ended early! I came home and fell alseep till 7.30pm where we started watching Red Cliff 2. It was good!
Good movie.

I forgot to hand in Physics today!
Sorry Mr Ng): Don't hate me.
I saw Tian Ning today, haha, yeah they came back yesterday!

I want to take pictures tomorrow morning. But, I need to wake up to get the fog. I don't know if it'll happen, because I'm probably sleeping late tonight.

I don't know what to do now. I want to read actually.
I'm so in love with the telly now though.

Meeting Lene tomorrow :3

I'm listening to Westlife.
Hehe.

Factory girl.

Sunday, March 15, 2009 9:57 PM


Hey, I just finished watching Factory Girl.
Oh man, damn, I loved the movie.
That's Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick in real life.

Although it was awfully sad, touching, I did not cry. Phew, although i would if you make me watch the show again.
Edie Sedgwick's true story is just... so sad. I don't know what to say. Her life was so messy.
She and Bob Dylan (in the movie they called him Billy Quinn) were so meant for each other!

Hayden Christensen and Sienna Miller were so compatible!
But the erm.. erm.. *erherm* sex scene *erherm* was cut out, so my eyes are still very pure, although the movie was rated 15 and above.

Anyway, it really reflects what people would give for popularity.
I loved the graphics in the movie, the whole vintage, black and white thing. Totally amazing.

It's a movie worth watching, unless you're those people who like actions movies more, then I think you won't like it.
You can like symphatise with Edie, like you can feel her sadness, the pain. I really want to read her biography now, I need to look for it.
She's so pretty, and Sienna Miller looks very much like her.

Sienna is really pretty. She looks so much like Kiera Knightley. And guess what? They even acted together in a movie, the edge of love, as sisters and they look so alike.

I think if Keira acted as Edie Sedgwick, it would be good too.

Man, I love the show. They'll be a repeat at 2am, but sadly I can't watch because there's dance tomorrow.

Oh oh! Today I was at Astons and Mrs Koh and her family sat next to my table!!! Major weirdness! I was hiding behind my mum XD It felt so... awkward to see her there.
Oh and you can see my house from Astons! How cool's that(:

I watched so much TV today and I still wanna watch Matrix.

Hey Monday is a great band.

I feel so inspired by Factory Girl I want to write a something.

And I watched Coraline trailer today. I can't wait to watch it! Maybe after SA1 because that's when the movie is out here.

Okay, I still love Factory Girl. And Hayden Christensen a hell lot(:
Yay for Hayden! <3
The part when she was taking drugs and drinking so much, she was so weark.. it was so sad! And she loved the guy so much but she chose her job instead. And he married another woman. She was poor, no one likes her anymore, everyone laughs at her. It was heartbreaking):

My sister is so irritating.
She just got home at 10.30pm coz she went to a friend's house. What the hell? I can't even do that.

I watched so much TV today.

And so I ran.

Friday, March 13, 2009 9:13 PM
X country was not bad(:
IT fair wasn't all that great. But I touched the 450D.

Now I don't know what to say now.

Tomorrow will be so rush.

I'm happy my fringe is longer now.

Just watched two episodes of friends <3
I love that show so much. And I can't believe it's NC 16 in Singapore! Season One is still really fun. I wonder if I'll last till season 10!
Oh and in the breaking down barriers talk yesterday, friends was in the list of media that influence young teens into sex? Please! The show's SO pure compared to Gossip Girl and stuff. And Gossip Girl is only 14+.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I last watched GG. The previous time I only remembered it ended when Nate was kissing Jenny all over the pavement. Sick, he's 8 years older than her! (fyi she's only our age).

Sex and drugs is still a very addictive song even how wrong it sounds.

Sean is a naughty boy. Teaching people bad bad words.

Breaking down barriers yesterday was lame. I was predicting all the next words she'll say.
Aleithia told me this very disgusting thing about what she heard from her class's breaking down barriers talk.

OH! Willy went round saying that they have came back from NY.
HAHAHA, he got pranked by Jerome XD

I'm blogging lame things now. And saying lame things.
Stop stop stop.

Now, I'm laughing. Watching Fred videos are so entertaining(: Plus the fact the Lucas Cruikshank is really hot and he's our age too and only and so successful.
Smosh is really funny now.
And I watched Levi Beamish, I want to watch him live again!!!

I'm bored.

Desire.

Wednesday, March 11, 2009 6:55 PM
I think we really need to buck up on our dance, guys.
Like seriously. It's our only SYF opportunity and that one only result is permanent.
And I really agree with the feedback given today, what Xin Lin and the teachers said.
Yeah.

You don't need to really watch the dance to know the dance is messy. You can already tell when you're dancing it.

Someone hit me with the fan.
I have now a bruise in the shape of a line on my knuckles.

I don't really enjoy Miss Ranjini's lessons.
I prefer Mr Kamal TONS more, because history isn't a subject you can study through just some slides. It's really something you need to understand. And i really enjoy lessons with deep information, like Mr K's.

Ran 3 rounds around the school for PE.
I did okay. But the stitches were horrid, adding on to the uncomfortably pain feeling I've been having in my stomach since yesterday morning. It just won't go away.

I slept for 30 minutes in Math.

Van Helsings was pretty damn fun last night.
I watched it alone(:

I feel like writing a poem.



It started with a song,
well, everything started with a song.

The song about peace to joy, war to sadness,
of all the Gods and their individual greatness.

Or perhaps the song about the universe,
about the start of something so diverse.

But there were greater songs out there,
songs that told stories through time, even from places elsewhere.

To be sung to those who were willing to listen,
or simply to those who believe that they were different.

And it then -of course- ended with a song,
a song that everyone could sing along.

A song that summed everything up,
a song that was found in this little tea cup.


Doesn't make any sense.
I just felt like writing that.

I had visions, I was in them,..

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 8:56 PM

Tele-vision.

Yeah, black and white.

Shirlene is going on camp tomorrow):


Black and white is the new thing.

6:45 PM
Kinda have lots of ideas for black and white pictures.

I don't have any very high A's which suck.
3 A1's, 4 A2's, probably 1 B3 (ENGLISH) and 1 c5 (CHINESE).

Bio was so demoralising.
To feel better, I built a pen circuit with Yun Chuan on both our tables during Bio lesson because there wasn't any lesson. Everyone was crowding around Mr _____ asking for marks. (I'm still not sure what his name is, the substitute teacher.)
Wing Sang played it. Xian Long took a picture of it.

Daddy told me to meet Mummy at IT Fair after Cross Country on Friday.
Life owns.
Mummy's bringing me to make contacts too.

Tomorrow is UCC Hall rehearsal.

Abdu and Lionel ain't pure thinking guys.

We played scrabble today. WenJie, Abdul, Aleithia and I.
I lost because all my letters were either vowels or consonants.

I filtered my Flickr.

It's getting dark out.

A study in Emerald by Neil Gaiman is good.
I just borrowed one of his youth books.
And I found Pretty Little Liars 3.
And I borrowed this mystery fantasy book.

I feel like studying.

Math! Oh math.

Sunday, March 8, 2009 11:18 PM
I CAN'T FINISH STUDYING MATH! GASP!

They're in the airport now to NYC.
I want to go so badly I feel very bad now.

I watched a little bit of Tomb Raider when I was eating dinner.
I like it :D Lucky I have the DVD, gonna watch it after exams!
And a whole lot of other movies I have in mind.

I watch the Oscars this morning while eating breakfast.
Slumdog Millionaire won SO many awards. One of the guys started crying because he was so touched he won an award!

I can't find my 20cm ruler.
Under my books somewhere...

My books are all over my table.
And the laptop placed on top of the gigantic stack of books ;D

I did sec 1, 2 and 4 Emath.
I hope it helped.

I have 2 chapters left! Gosh!

Sepia.

Saturday, March 7, 2009 11:50 PM

In the life of Janice

Friday, March 6, 2009 8:32 PM
I just finished reading Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and it was damn damn freaking amazing!
SUPERB!
Like seriously. It's one of the best books I've read. Because the whole book is so exciting! Like the other books I've read by Neil Gaiman and he ALWAYS give his character cool names like Door, Shadow, Spider ;D

Neil Gaiman is a very talented author, I must say. Very inspiring one too.
The way he writes is so convincing and addictive. It just feels like you're in the other world and you're living it too! Like walking through the start of the world, the world of the gods, the prison cell. It's just... wow.
And the kind of hatred and sadness and happiness written in his books are real, you can link with it too! He's going to be an author worth remembering.
And did you know he wrote the screen play for Beowulf too?

I listened to his audio books snippets today. I love them.

Today during Chemistry practical, Jerome and I did the Copper (II) Sulphate experiment 2 times again because the colour was real nice and we did all these layers of different tones of blue.
He tried to make me say that he's smarter than me. In your dreams Jerome!

Oh my goodness, everyone scored distinction for Chemistry in my class. 45 A1's and 2 A2's. Oh my. I wonder what I'm going to be up for next!

I think Zenn's a stalker.

My mummy bought me the most amazing cheesecake.

I love my mumy (:

Must. Pass. Physics. Graph.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 8:17 PM
Yes! I NEED TO!
Or I won't get an distinction for Physics.

I went to argue with Mr Ng till I was given two more marks! Hehe :D

In Chemistry, Miss Yep told us about teachers sacrificing their parenthood for their students. Then, we started teasing Miss Yep,' Mr Ng made Miss Yep lose a PERIOD!'

Miss Shamiliah did not come today. We gave Wen Jie a manicure.
He destroyed my pretty tree of my finger. He destroyed the one I drew for him too.
He didn't allow me to write 'Happy Wenjie kissed a tree!' It ended at Happy Wenjie sadly.
Hmm.. And he started using Abdul's phone to take pictures of me and Aleithia? LOL. Aleithia deleted it all. Ha.
It's not fair that he has longer fingers than me):

We danced in the Indoor Sports Hall today!

I hope I pass A math tomorrow with a 30/40. Then it would be an A1! :D
I doubt I can pass E math on Monday.

Love and peace, y'all :D

I don't know what to think of it.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 8:20 PM
It's either a very beautiful night gown or an average looking dress.
I've got to try it on.

I went on a youtube spree today.
I laughed like a mad banana.

I want to go out with Shirlene.
I want to go out with Caroline.

Dan just showed me a competition.
I'm having cool ideas.
I need to the holidays. And an early morning to have it done. Either the field or the forest. I'm having doubts.
Plus the weird looking dress I got. From someone. It's new though. And tailor made. So it shouldn't be so bad.

I'm waiting for the applications from Dan or something.
Man, he sure is one amazing friend.

Maybe the dress isn't weird.
I just have to try it on.

I'm not doing my homework.
I think that's bad.

Why is life unfair?

Monday, March 2, 2009 8:39 PM
It's the question we live to answer in our journey of life.
Says Mr Kamal.

Biology sucked. Physics sucked.
My life sucks.

I've been talking to BaoHien a whole lot lately.
So yeah, she's meeting Steffi and Yaneli soon.
Going to spend photography camp with Skye in Maine.
Lives in the same town as Antionette and Lindsey.

Click on their names!
What they have in common? They all live in Texas, except Skye who lives in New York. And they're all Asians or Mixed blood, except Yaneli and Skye.

See why life sucks?

Yeah, pracitcally all the teens I know on Flickr come from USA. ):
Life is unfair.

I'm so happy I only have A Math left!
:D yay!

And Caroline just showed me more of the story.
Dan just sent me awesome songs.
Mummy just bought me more chocolate.

Maybe life doesn't suck after all.

once there was me
I'm Janice, sixteen, but really, I'm three. I live in my own fantasy of endless imagination. I like the smell of new books and the wonders a camera can do. I laugh way too much.
And this, is my life.
