ALHEEEENA!
okay. time for an update. lets start from monday. mind you all everything is a summary, so not every detail will be included.monday. report to school early in the morning. very sleepy. so we learnt the mass dance for Mambo Number 5. that part was fun. since the orientation is compulsory for all freshies, even the three months freshies had to join in. i realise something abt mj after hearing what happened at the tpj orientation. the ppl in mj are super 'on' and really united. so part of the orientation slogan is true. 'Unidad De Estrellas'. in other words, unity of stars. the unity part is fine, its the stars part that bothers me. reminds me too much of the major event in prcs in 2002. simply put, i'm sick of stars since then.
thats besides the point. anyways, on monday, we had Know Your Campus (KYC). so ya, ran round the school trying to complete tasks. blah blah. very tiring. in the end my OG (Alhena) came in 4th. thats that, went home and KO-ed late, though i was tired.
Tuesday. again, came early in the morning. this time i was in a super depressed and grumpy mode cos i didn't get enough sleep. talk abt being cranky. so then just aft we changed our OHL started scolding us. said that Alhena should be 1st and that 4th was peanuts. since i was already in a bad mood, it made me even more cranky. then the so-called 'Godfather' of Alhena came to speak to us. Kai Sheng was great, he really lightened the mood up considerably. i felt a lil better but still cranky. we also learnt the steps for the 'Let's Get It Started' mass dance. that one was particularly tricky. aft that we had MMM. that was really crazy. we cheered so much until we got complaints from the residents. i also ran like mad, trying to keep up with Andy, my OGL. we had many many gross stunts to complete (passing peanut butter with our elbows, rolling on the void deck floor while cheering etc etc) and by the last station was completed, i was completely pancit. my back started hurting and i couldn't run. whatever it is, Alhena came in 3rd this time, and the OGLs as well as the OHLs were happy with us. i wasn't bothered abt that, i was more bothered with getting home and into my rest position. i KO-ed around 8 + pm since i was so exhausted.
Wednesday. final day of orientation. so i came early again. reported for wet games. i was one of the wettest. lol. was very funny. the OGLs really kena bullied badly. and i think by the end of the wet games the other OGs thought that Alhena was the mat OG bcos of our weird malay cheers. i like the malay cheers alot, they are really very cool. we came in 3rd again, aft that we had the CCA thing. i signed up for Band (what else, lol) and College Publications. i also found out during the CCA time that there were quite a few students in MJ who know me. i also met quite alot of my former EPPS mates there. namely, Anting, Radheiyah, Izzat, and a few more. most of them are in Arts too. later we had to settle the performance for the campfire. My OG Alhena 5 had the worst job cos we had to do a Bollywood dance and we had no radio to work with. Vimala really did a great job in suggesting the steps. Vanessa, Kelvin, KZ and myself sorta led the rest. but it was really difficult, we had around 1 hr left and we had no steps at all, our members were disappearing and we had no cd player. i talked to Wee Cheng awhile. he sorta gave me some assurance that it won't be so bad in mj, anyways, i'm not transferring to tpjc. we also talked abt how lil ppl there were from prcs that wanted to study in mj. aft that we got our cd player and finally got cracking. i led the dance, being in front, and nearly choked shouting out the instructions and timing. my gdness, i've never had so bad a time leading ppl in my entire life. in the end we did get something together. aft that we had our dry run of the whole performance. the campfire was quite ok, though i nodded off during some performances since i didn't know what was happening or what they ppl were mumbling abt. Alhena was very hyped up and guess what, we came in FIRST for the campfire, but lost to Vega in the overall scores. oh well, at least we got second. Kai Sheng, for one, was a very happy man. i'm happy for him lar, i mean, can see that he really worked his butt off during orientations. and frm experience, i also know that its ALWAYS more tiring for the councillors than for the participants during the orientations. there's alot that goes on behind the scenes, and the council ppl have to always be the earliest to go there and the latest to leave. i think they really did a good job on the orientation. during the area cleaning the Alhenians really lost it. we had the special, and very difficult task of transporting the stage back to where it was taken. so we were cheering like mad, screaming like mad, doing everything very crazily, banging on the wood. lol. like Jasha said ' I think the Alhenians have finally lost it'. i went home really late.
today. lectures. i missed AO Math since i came late but when i collected the notes i realised that i din have to attend it at all since it was all really easy. the A Math stuff that i CAN handle, as in, simultaneous linear equations, venn diagrams. so i waited with Jasha in the library until 11 for the Geog lecture. for now, i think Geog is one of the coolest subs that i take. the lecturer reminds me alot of Mr Chua Chye Hock, my fave sc teacher which makes it even cooler. its weird, i could swear they are relatives or something. so anyways, we learnt Coastal Geomorphology. (is that spelt right) waves. and i thought i had escaped physics. apparently NOT. but still, i'm thankful Mr Collin (aka Mr Very LAME) taught me well, esp on the waves topic. so i could catch things quite fast.
the Lit lecture was very fun as well, esp when she told us we're doing King Lear. i've read it before and its sooo nice. so glad that we're confirmed on that one. the Gothic part sounds interesting as well, but i'll have to wait till i really get down to work before i can say anything.
Econs, now that was a horrible lecture. sure i could understand, sure i could grasp the concept. i just didn't like the delivery of the lesson. the lecturer spoke to us sounded as if he though that we were a bunch of potatoheads or something. darn it darn it.
the last lecture of the day was PW. that was the most hilarious one. Vanessa and me were laughing away with the rest of the LT. lol. but i shan't bother explaining, it was really funny if you had been there.
and now i'm home, waiting for 11. till next time, nitenite

horrible dream
i'm starting to think that this is soo not my week.most of you prolly know by now that i was posted to mjc. fine. or at least i thought. that very aftnoon i went to the cc to play badminton as one of the cc's exhibits for some visitors frm china. it was very fun, 3 hrs straight with pei shan, yun fang, eldora, jassamyn, chai yun david, adeline and mastura. ( i hope i din leave anyone out) but my heart fell when i found that no one else was posted to mj with me but rebecca, and even she was posted to the sc stream.
so yea, i was kinda disappointed. on wednesday i happened to be early to go to mj. and i felt super uncomfy when i saw the amt of ppl stare at me. its normal, esp in singapore, but this time, i really felt very uncomfortable. darn it darn it. so i checked my orientation group and then proceeded to hang around a pillar. i stood just where no one could see me. but someone did. i'm so happy that she did. charlyn, my primary school friend. she came over, and we stuck together for a while. and i saw from afar, a prcs uniform. so i squinted, trying to make out who it was. and i did, it was none other than rebecca, and she came over. so then charlyn, myself and rebecca were hanging around there, and rebecca told me that wee cheng was in that school and that he was posted to the arts stream.
the OGLs for my grp Alhena were super cool. they were really enthu frm the start. but us being us, the enthusiasm did not rub off on us. just as we were heading up to introductory lectures, i saw wee cheng and said hi. aft that pt, things started getting really really depressing.
so basically all the lecturers said that ppl like me, who did not or could not turn up for the 3 months, were not going to make it. every single one. except the lit one.
it was very hard to swallow. i mean, i know, i haven't done the 3 months, but i haven't even tried and they tell me that i can't make it. me and rebecca were bummed aft the whole day when we took the bus together. i can't begin to imagine how wee cheng made it through the first three months. kudos to him man, really.
my mom told me that its fine if i appeal for tpjc, so i did. see how it goes, if i'm still left in mj, then so be it. i'll try my best to prove them wrong. if not, then i'll be doing the same in tpjc. and that makes me wonder, how come, since i put tpj as 3rd choice (arts) i din get in, and got posted to mj instead though it was a later choice. oh well, nvm. what will be will be.
thats over with the terrible first day part.
last night i had the worst dream. i dreamt that eric yelled at me. my gdness, so far, we haven't even argued once in the this friendship. i hope it stays that way. when i woke up i was so relieved it was a dream. the closest 2 friends i have now are eric and huda, and i can't imagine if even one of them were taken away for something bad happened to them. or even if we argued. that dream really shocked me out of my sleep. hope something like that NEVER happens.
i'm still aching bcos of badminton. but aching bcos of badminton rocks. lol.
till i find something cheerful abt today ~

pics
ok, some pics that are loong loooong overdue. yep, the last of the pics from my trip to finland. finally i dug them out and got them scanned.
frm where else, but the linnotus. its the orthodox church. from outside, it looks pretty shabby, since its quite old, if i'm not mistaken. but frm inside its supposed to be breath-takingly beautiful. i don't know, i've never been in. but it sure is true that most orthodox churches are very grand. saw some pics and a feature on them on tv during my stay.
more from linnotus. both of the above pics belong to the church.
well, i think you would've guessed by now that its from, where else, the linnotus. yep yep, its beautiful up there.
outside the linnotus. this pic was taken by that creepy madman, before i knew he was a creepy madman. besides being senget, i don't think it was too shabby a job in taking pics.
the building where majurska is situated.
inside majurska. in case you have forgotten and have started to thing that its a home, i'd like to remind you that its a coffee shop/kahvila. i know i know, it looks startlingly like someone's home, but its like that. extremely cozy with many many interesting pieces of art and furniture to look at while enjoying your coffee.
who else can that be but the owner of majurska. love her outfit, it makes the place even cozier. she manages everything herself, and everything is made with her own hands.
yay, thats the IB class i was with for a brief spell in lyseo. see if you can guess which one the teacher is...lala
my saipapeli lippu/ice hockey game ticket. still remember that game vividly. SaiPa won. wheeee.
shots of the game itself. i dunno whose head is that blocking the view. bleah
so there, the pics, at last. till next time~

darn it darn it darn it. i hate junk mail. double darn. thank goodness i don't get as much as isi does in the mail. now his mailbox is consistently a mess due to loads of SPAM. yep. hate spam.this day isn't looking good, its only 12.42. darn it darn it darn it.
1. my hair is a mess. no girl likes a bad hair day. especially me. hair oh hair of mine, will you please obey me?
2. its very hot outside. damn the hot weather. and it hasn't rained in ages. and its so humid. you come out of the shower, get dry and dressed and when you step out of the home it loks as if you haven't dried yourself off at all. bleah. if only it would rain for 3 straight days without stopping. i miss winter! wish i was back with Kati my snow sister walking around town and enjoying the cold. for now i have to bear the heat. i wish the rain clouds would come again. *marlz sighs*
3. my mom and bro are hogging the tv and watching, of all things that i do not appreciate on a hot day, a soccer match. a soccer match is fine at night or in the wee hrs of the morning when its LIVE, not when its a hot noon, and when the match is not live. darn it darn it darn it. *marlz grumbles*
4. i can't go out. why? i dunno why, ask my mother. sheesh.
5. the jae posting results are out on wednesday and i'm nervous. why does it have to take so long?

band prac
had a really interesting day today. woke up so early, around 7.30 am. (yep, 7.30 is considered early for me. aft all those days of enjoying my sleep. i got up ok anyways) huda called to tell me that she was going to late bcos she overslept. (duh expected her to do that) in the end we met at around 9.why bother to wake up so early in the morning and meet a senior? cos we headed down for band. it suddenly feels so weird to be in school as an ex student. everyone starts looking at you cos you aren't in uniform and you stick out. then you find that certain things have changed. certain people have left. sigh. oh well, things always change, ppl come and they go. what can i do? nothing. so i just have to make the best of the situation.
so i popped by in the band room. they were running through the syf pieces. so i checked the clarinets cupboard, wondered what kind of state it would be in. i always made sure the clarinets cleaned the cupboard and kept it in tiptop shape. imagine my surprise when i found cup noodles in the cupboard. yep. CUPNOODLES. really ar, so shocked. but its a good sign. shows that the clarinets are still keeping tradition alive. what tradition, you ask? the tradition of being the craziest, most hip, most gerek section. so its a bit messy, nvm. let them run things the way they do. i just hope that they don't lose that crazy part. not for the moment, still can see that its gila down there.
me and huda sat chatting at the back, doing the 'do you remember the time when' stories. that scarred ceiling. ya lar, mr goh's bright idea what. stick cartons on the ceiling. till now the duct tape is there. lol. and the egg cartons are on top of the cupboard. ya, was nice chatting. listened to the band. i still prefer Tales of the Sea ( i never thought i'd be saying this 3 years ago. during that period of time, i was sure i would burn it up aft syf) over Singapore Rhapsody. certain parts of this year's syf piece is too abrupt for my liking. and as if was the previous syf, the set piece is the weaker one for this band. the opening and the ending are the parts that will make an impression. and quite frankly, i think they ought to fine tune those parts a LOT more. the sound is quite decent, but crestwinds now lacks that togetherness that the previous syf band had. if one section got scolded, all of us felt it. we felt for each other. now, it seems as if the band has broken up into different groups. they don't listen to each other,they come in at different times, fade off at differend times, and they have their eyes fixated on the score and not the baton. its quite infuriating to witness it. basically, everybody is doing their part and their part alone. they couldn't be bothered abt the others and listening to their parts as well. our (huda and me) prediction? a bronze, or they might just scrape by and get a silver. but just only.
aft that chatted awhile with masri and the three crazy clarinets (my tribe, lol), jon, haz and fateen. they are the ones lar, stocking cup noodles in the cupboard. talk nonsense, crap around. aiyah, the usual lar. played my dearie yamaha for awhile. been a long time since i touched it. i lost touch already. aft a while i left with huda at around 1 pm. then i came home and slept. zzzzzzz....
still feeling sleepy, have to do some stuff also. later ppl

problem
problem : sleepless nightscause : thinking instead of sleeping (more often than not, thoughts about school. i think i'll never stop thinking about it. not until i enter the workforce)
solution : scribbling long long entries onto pieces of paper that disappear mysteriously the next morning when i look for them
last night was a particularly interesting one. i couldn't get to sleep because i was thinking of english. these thoughts that occur to me in the wee hours of the morning (read 'wee hours of the morning' as 'marlz's bedtime') are not there by choice. neither is that niggling feeling that i have to scribble down (in terribly untidy handwriting) exactly what i'm thinking of, in an organized manner. first, write down the topic. give the exact definition of the term. expand and develop on it. go through every possible aspect of the problem or topic in question. then come to a conclusion. if you're thinking that it sounds familiar, then you are right. its the same as planning for an essay, which i did countless times in secondary school. only after i have done all of the following can i get some sleep. i have also discovered that if i'm too lazy to get u and turn on the light, i will not only take ages to get to sleep, but my sleep will be fitful throughout the night. is it me, or am i going bonkers?
so well, last night was about english, or rather, what i call the 'singapore slang'. Singlish. a fusion of english and a number of other common languages used by locals. something that you'd probably hear everyday. i mean, admit it, EVERYONE in singapore uses at least a little Singlish in one point of their stay here or another. it makes you fit in with everyone else. and since most people want to fit in, they end up using this 'language' native to singapore when they come here. not only is it an efficient communication tool between singaporeans, it gives singaporeans a common identity and lets them mingle among the races.
however, one problem has arisen due to the use of singlish. people have forgotten that it isn't the proper form of english and that foreigners might not understand it at all. i recall during my stay in finland when my classmates asked me to demonstrate how i speak with my peers in singapore. some said they couldn't understand at all what i was trying to say, others said they could make out a few words. others just stared at me in amazement and asked 'you call that english?' in other words, it sounded very much like a foreign language to them.
so obviously, the government steps in and tries to think of some solutions. the solution? trying to break singaporeans out of the habit of speaking singlish.i was thinking, is it really that necessary for the singapore government to try get rid of Singlish?
i know it isn't really right that we speak it in place of proper english. in my opinion, there are some benefits that singlish has to offer. take, for example, schools these days. sure, most schools have a good mixture of all races. reason? promotion of racial harmony. students of different races and religions study together and play together. or so most teachers claim. as soon as the recess bell rings, all you have to do is to stand in the canteen and you'll observe it is clearly not the case. most students of the same race clump together during recess. and the reason why students like to stick to cliques of their own race? simple, they rather converse in their own tongue and not english. (which obviously leaves the 'half-breeds', like yours truly, out) they want to stick with people that have something in common with them, particularly language. it isn't very often that two people of different races are best friends. and lets face it, though inter-racial marriages are accepted more these days than in the past, most parents wish that their children wed someone of the same race and do need some convincing before they approve the marriage.
so what is my point, you may ask? well, my point is that singlish gives most poeple in singapore a simplified version of english to communicate with, that also mixes in some of their own language. its become a common tongue, thus encouraging mingling of races.
i'm not saying that singlish doesn't have any cons. obviously it does. (as i've found out personally) the use of proper english is important. its the common tongue of the world. thus learning the use of correct english is crucial for relations outside singapore. however, if singlish gives us all something common, then is it that bad after all?
think of it this way, everyone has what i call a 'home language'. something that they speak only at home, or to those whom they feel comfortable with. its usually simple and the main point is to make sure you are understood. however, you wouldn't use the same language with, for example, a visitor or a stranger. then you would use proper english. singlish, is somewhat like our 'home language'. for use in singapore only.
perhaps we should stop with the 'don't speak singlish, speak proper english' and change it to 'speak singlish at home only, speak proper english everywhere else'. not really a very good slogan, i know, but at least, it gives us a chance to not only be comfortable, but also remember that we do have to practise speaking proper english from time to time.
even my blog has informal language from time to time. its because i think of this area as my personal space. a space where i can be comfortable and be myself. but i also try my best to keep my entries grammatically correct. that way, i don't have to be prissy and perfect, but i also remind myself that being articulate is important at the same time.
they say 'the ways of england are the ways of the world'. i say 'the ways of singapore are the ways of singapore. period.'
terribly unplanned, my entry here. but well, i'm just typing it on a whim. ppl, remember to do your planning before writing your essay! (this advice is going out ESPECIALLY to my sister, whose lack of planning has made her essays disorganised)
going to catch forty winks.

Hematochezia
hematochezia. in short, bright red stools, which, of course, indicates that there is BLOOD in it. there has to be at least 3-4 (around there lar, i can't really remember) tablespoons of blood in the stool before it qualifies as hematochezia. (wonder who will go and measure the amount of blood in their stool *marlz wonders*). note, black or tarry stools are NOT considered hematochezia. causes of hematochezia are numerous. on eis a gastointestinal ulcer which is bleeding. another cause is rectal bleeding. to save words, just take hematochezia as a signal that something is wrong in your digestive system. hematochezia can also be accompanied by vomiting of blood (read : very dangerous) blood in stools also can be an indication of a tumour (read : very very dangerous) which, in turn, is an indication of colon cancer (read : more dangerous than you can ever imagine). this, of course, depends on the type of stool. more often than not, hematochezia is indicates hemorrhoids, which is enlarged veins in your rectum, or more commonly known as piles. however, if you ever have bloody stools, especially if it lasts more than a day, then GO AND SEE YOUR GP IMMEDIATELY. get that?most of you will be grossed out by now, or if you aren't grossed out then you're just wondering why i'm talking abt hematochezia. been really crazy these days. give me a lil word or some term that i've not heard and you see me online looking it up. hematochezia is one of them. and whatever you do, don't get me started on scaphoid fractures. just a friendly warning ya.
i thought my stomach pain went away, but NOOOO, its back. i wonder if my tummy wil ever get well. its been sometime since i last blogged anyway. i was feeling better but then my stomach has gotten worse. oh well.
been doing some crazy stuff at home. dictionary has become my favourite books. pick words out of it that no one has heard and call my siblings names using those words. i even picked out a word for myself to tease my mother.
wunderkind - origin, German wunderkinder, wonder child.
i prefer wunderkinder though. lol. so i use that word on myself and compare myself to the other children, saying that i am the wunderkinder and they are part of yakuza. haha. i found many other words too, which i shall not list here.
i went out today to tm as soon as i woke up to see my mom and AK. acherlie i met them at the library and then went to TM. actually went to look at prams for my new cousin, Nurifka. but knowing us, we looked at everything else as well. saw alvin and huimin. hehe. i changed my watch strap since the old one is broken. now my watch is wearable again! then aft that we went to AK hse to lepak. AK wanted to make bingka ubi so i helped her grate the ubi. so fun. i love grating jobs. Adaweya was at home already, laughing like a banshee. then Farid came home, followed by Faqih. was very farnie lar.
mummy and me took a taxi home but i decided to go to the library instead. so i borrowed some books and bought mummy's margarine and got home. kinda tired. was already 8+ pm when i got home. sigh.
remember kids, always tell your mummy and daddy if you notice you have hematochezia.
nitenite everyone
