Ohman swimming was baaaad! you never really know how unfit you are until you try swimming along the length of the pool and back with that stupid styrofoam thing between your legs. I HATE THAT STYROFOAM THING GRRRR. haha and now my thighs and arms and general upper body are aching. right after the lesson the muscles that connect my shoulders to my arms died!!!!!!!!1111 I know the ache'll be worse tomorrow though. :(

I have math four days out of five I don't know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand most of the stuff miss emma's teaching us I learnt in singapore. On the other it's MATH who the heck likes MATH. 'Specially when even pressing calculator buttons makes your arms feel like they're about to drop off. Oh and in carren's immortal words, "brain no work good" hahaha

Ohoh I just finished shona's avatar! Here it is, HUZZAH

I had the weirdest dream last night. I dreamt me gareth jingying and someone else from tanglin were in a palawan-like beach at night. There was this pontianak-y ghost haunting the female toilets/changing rooms, and I can't really remember much else, 'cept that near the end gareth inexplicably started going out with me o_O I woke up feeling all warm and fuzzy and loved, till I realised that it was a dream and I don't have a boyfriend :(

In other news, people seem to really like gareth's avatar hahaha! This one person favourited it, and another commented on how it's so cute.

Oh here's gareth's avatar :)

Jingyi thinks I used to eat ex ex ten dollar wanton mee at classy foodcourts and hawker centres in singapore HAHA so cute!
Anyway the girls for guitar outing's been postponed till I next come back, DECEMBER. Hopefully everyone'll be free by then :)

Man my knees sting. In pe two days ago we were doing basketball, and eventually I fell down and skinned both my knees. And long, being such a nice guy, apologised, even though he didn't cause me to skin my knees! :) Haha and zia made sure our group wasn't the last with his cool basketball moves and long soccer socks.
I managed to catch a wild ball and throw it to zia and someone shouted, "Go chia lynn!" hoho.

I have this insane urge to get bjork's album medulla. 'Cos today in art while looking for collage material in an old magazine, I read an interview by her. Half the interview was on her new album Medulla. How it's completely a capella though there are people mimicking instruments on it. The interviewer remarked how the 'instruments' sounded like emotional voices. How each track has a plot (rising action, climax, that sorta thing) and THAT'S when I was hooked.
Yea and I want this album so bad, I've decided not to download the songs one by one off limewire and BUY the album instead! The sad thing is, I have yet to see a cd store here, and I think I'm going to have to wait till I visit singapore, ie all the way in december. :(! I might not be so excited to bjork by then.

HAHA sorry I just had to put this here. I almost forgot how fun it is to talk to kenaldi. :)

School's gotten better! MISS BEE IS SO CUTE HAHAHAH I want a british sense of humor tooo :( Well there are so many to learn from I'm sure I can figure it out by the time I leave BIS.
Science supplies are loads better here. We just got a new supply of neat bunsen burners! Though we use matches to light them, not that clicky thing we used in singapore. It's way exhilarating. Haha and I'm totally a matchstick pro now, I can make a living as an arsonist.

Okay Michelle got quite a bad deal, what with her avatar not being as cute as the later ones (says someone) so I've made her a new one! Say hello to Michelle 2. :) cuter, AND with new improved hairstyle! Hahaha

I've just joined www.last.fm! SOMEONE STOLE MY NAME CHIALYNN GRRRRR HISSSSS SNARRL so I had to use chiabuns. Everyone join also and add me! I put up the chart on top of the tagboard, check it out.
Haha but I still think launchcast's best. It's the most user-friendly. Plus I keep finding loads of nice songs, and nostalgic songs I heard in my childhood (the stuff my siblings used to listen to), and songs I liked but didn't know what they were titled. :) hooray!

Haha sarah from pp's really bo liao! She told me she googled my name and got lots of entries about me.

ahhhh pooppooppoop I got school tomorrow and art homework to do but I don't know what exactly am I supposed to do I'm going to have to wing it so my new teacher doesn't get that bad an impression of me and at least I'll have done something yeah thank merlin I've managed to finish reading business studies two chapters a day babyyy hoho I am 73h l337 5h17 WOOHOO okay I'm gonna go make a collage on singapore in my spanking new gargantuan sketchbook now byeee.

I just heard Swing Swing on launchcast! Oh maaan it reminded me of last year's uh, school thingy, where there was this mahd band who did swing swing. They were pretty good, except for the VOCALIST, who SUCKED EGGS. Out of tune and everything. So I was thinking, " Daaang, we shoulda done that this year before I left!" :( Haha 'specially since tanglin doesn't seem to care about singing ability at aaa-all (the one other band's vocalist was OUT OF TUNE TOOOO!!!!!!!!!11111), so I'D definitely not get boo-ed offstage if I go flat at the swing SWING swing. Hurhur.
So. I know people who can be guitarists, and I can be vox, but WHO CAN BE DRUMMER. :(

I haven't been doing anything this whole week! I found a way to force myself to study business studies though. I shan't reveal how lest you all take advantage of me!

Oh that reminds me. School starts next monday for me! Boooo. Hisssss.

Haha and today my mum was like, " Let's go swimming at six in the morning tomorrow!" Since the vietnam sun goes to work early and the sun always rises around six.

Aaaaanyway, I've made one more avatar! This avatar-making spree I've gone on seems to be reaching saturation. :(
Here it is, it's cute! And it's ANDREA'S. :)

Charmaine's dad has confirmed my suspicions. TALKING ABOUT GOD IS ILLEGAL HERE! THE coc here is UNDERGROUND. But apparently I can still read my bible in public and they can't catch me. Hohoho! *thumbs nose at government* Haha charmaine you better be sure they can't catch me, or this time next week I might be in jail. o_O
samuel lim jia wei's parents are here! So we've been doing lord's supper with them. :)

Lookee all the cool avatars I've made since michelle's! :)

Carren's

Cassandra's

Karen's

Olivia's

Kent's

I'm mentally kicking myself over and over for making karen's avatar cuter than mine. :(

Kay it's finished. Check it out. look at the full view, everyone! Hahahah!!!

Here's the rejected one

rejected 'cos it draws attention from the slit wrist and the fact that she's holding a razor.
......But darn cool right?!?!?!?!

and here's my animated GIF avatar
HAHA OMG IT'S SO CUTE LAAAA :)))))

HERE'S one commissioned by michelle!

check out her taut tush!
what do y'all think of this? The final thing will NOT have purple background.

Yesterday was good. I learnt probability from karen! Surprisingly fast, too. I was sure it'd take the whole afternoon, but it was much shorter. Before that I bumped into some 3e1 girls at the station and followed them to pizzahut and stuff.

Later I followed karen home and she made my spiffy new pencilcase out of part of an animal-patterned ikea showercurtain. Being a shower curtain, it's waterproof! Hurrah! She knows how to use a sewing machine o_O I asked her why she isn't doing home economics, and she said rgs doesn't allow. :/ I suppose there's a price you've got to pay to be considered the best.
I showed her Hope Is Emo and freakazoid episodes on youtube. Haha, or maybe I'll give myself a boobjob with a rusty butterknife and two water balloons.

Her dad fetched me to ginza and I got my hair cut! Woohoo! This bald dude who blew my hair dry (and looked like he was queer) asked me whether I liked having curls, and of course I said yes, and he said that was good, 'cos lots of girls that go there say they hate their hair. :) Haha and it was so straight bouncy and horrible afterwards, as if I'd been wearing a bandana all day, that I had to cab home. :P

Today I met hingying felicia and rach at plaza sing. We walked around in marks and spencer and I kept going, "Felicia that's your wedding dress!" whenever I saw white tops or skirts. Then I came across this long white skirt and went, " Great, now you can wear one on top and one below!" Hahaha. We ogled at wedding and evening gowns at this place called (something)bliss. It really is too bad I won't be going for prom at the end of sec4. :(

At five, by carefully checking the boonkeng mrt maps, I managed to find my own way to charmaine and nehe's house!!! Only to find out from nehe and valmond that charmaine had gone to the station to look for me -_-'
I LOVE SINGAPORE, WOOHOOOOOOOOOO.
I find the 'home' lyrics pretty darn applicable to my life, what with the there's a place that will stay within me where ever I may choose to go lines. Yay. CHARMAINE'S CAT IS MUCHOS CUTE! Haha but he's also very unloving to her. And he likes to wink at me! :)

Today was my last day of church till I return to Singapore next! Haha and it was the first time since I came back that I was actually on time for church. :) So I didn't hafta sneak in with my head bowed in shame. Charles did lessons, he's pretty good.
So anyway, I gave out hugs to all and sundry! Everyone knows they won't see me for a long, long time.

After church me, andrea, CHARMAINE (yes, charmaine!!!), shawn, chenyi, irvin, matthew and one other guy whom I can't remember went to fareast and ate at one of the weird coffeeshops at the toppest level and ate fried mars bars after that. I thought it would be all chocolatey and hardish and overly sweet, but it was TASTY.

We went to lips (or cheeks?) design, otherwise known as The Shop Selling Mat Things On The Third Floor Of Far East. Me and one of the malay girls working there have so totally bonded lah! She recognises me each time I come, and we talk :)

Haha then we went to take NEOPRINTS, funny funny neoprints, TWICE. :) The second machine was hilarious lah. When we were all, finished already ah? someone screamed, IT'S TAKING ONE MORE BELOW!!!!!!! And we all dropped to the floor and grinned wildly at the camera. We were a split-second too late to make nice faces though, so that particular photo was horrible, who cares.
I sabo-ed everyone with lion manes and bunny ears and stuff, I gave shawny shiny eyes, hoho. Then charmaine sabo-ed one picture of ME, that I shall cherish always :) Hahahahahaha!!!!!!

Later everyone had to go off 'cept charmaine, so I gave andrea an extra snuggly goodbye-for-5 months hug, and me and charmaine walked all around. And tried to find an arty exhibition, but didn't know which part of ngee ann city it was in, so eventually we just gave up. And took the mert back.

And I met this REALLY STRANGE old man who grinned toothlessly at me and gawked at whatever I was doing (scrolling through my playlist, looking at my neoprints, looking at my namebadges also wanna stare!). He got off at jurongeast and said something in chinese to me that I didn't understand, but he seemed nice.

It's the saddest thing ever. But I don't think I'll be able to go for church camps anymore. :( School for me now doesn't have any holidays in june. And after my equivalent of j2 I'll be going for FURTHER STUDIES. And if I start going after further studies I'd be as old as kelvin! And not as cool a young adult. I'd be an auntie.
I think somewhere in the back of my mind I KNEW it'd be my last. That's why I signed up for games and took as many pictures as there was space in hannah's camera. That's why I refused to miss camp for my horrible throat (haha consequently everyone got infected) and even at the risk of my voice getting worse, bellowed oh you can't get to heaven on the bus from sembawang CoC.

Though there's hope. There's La salle and apparently nus has a design school? :) I'm not counting nafa though, it's government owned. :/

Tip your waitresses.
