tuesday was the final of the inter-house drama competition at AJ. the team i mentored, Cougar House, won Best Costume and the lamer R.I. boy was Best Actor. I was laughing my lungs out when they announced it. the judges actually like lamers. i found out later that it was a split decision. the other boy being considered for best actor was from jaguar house and also an R.I. boy. Best Play award was also a split decision between cougar and jaguar and it eventually went to Jaguar. I'm proud of myself. not bad directing considering i've never acted on stage unlike the other mentors.
O level results will be out on monday. my cousin Aaron says he has only two more days to live. I want to go to cresent girls' school to "help" collect adela's results. i want to kaypo.
A level results. I wonder when they will be released. soon, soon. so i don't have much time to live either.

I found a site that gives you very detailed zodiac sun sign analysis. Some of it appears to be rather true. Most of it is true and very amusing.
Go here and read yours then tell me if it's true http://mizian.com.ne.kr/englishwiz/library/names/zodiac/contents.htm
Here are some extracts
Of the Pisces, the site said:
When Pisces has a feeling something will happen, it usually does. If he tells you not to get on that plane or car, you'd better plan to swim or walk. (If you haven't realised it yet, LL is psychic)
If you need a dime or a dollar, a large loan, or just encouragement that no one else would give, go to Pisces. You'll get no lectures and no glances of superiority. (yes we all know that if you want sympathy and comforting you can go to LL the friendly bugger)
The line forms to the right. And please don't crowd. There may not be enough Pisces women for every man. Take your turn, and hope for the best. Rumors have spread about the charms of a Pisces female. She has her negative points, to be sure, but at first glance she's every man's grade school valentine, with maybe just a touch of a Playboy bunny to add some pepper. (does this explain bing wen and all the other weirdos who tried to go after LL?)
Of the Scorpion the site says:
Scorpio is intensely loyal to friends. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." The Scorpio soldier leaps instantly, instinctively, to brave the bullets and drag his buddy to safety. (here i think of jun and wen who like to invite people thinking of running away from home to stay at their house)
The Scorpio's health is typical of his nature. He can destroy his body with excesses, melancholy or hard work. But he can also built it back at will from a critical illness. Scorpios are seldom sick, but when they are, it's usually serious. A long rest and a change of attitude are the best cures. They can't let well enough alone, and of course, they know more than the doctor and all the nurses. The chief areas of attack for germs and accidents are the reproductive organs, the nose, the throat, the heart, spine, back, circulatory system, legs and ankles. Varicose veins and accidents in sports are common. (If you remember, jun and wen are the ones who have suffered the most spine problems, ankle problems, toe problems....)
One of the strangest patterns in astrology is the death of a relative in the family within either a year before or the year after the birth of a Scorpio. And when a Scorpio dies, there will be a birth in the family within the year before or the year after. (this is weird. any scorpio can comfirm this?)
The female Scorpio has a deep, mysterious beauty. She's magnetic, proud and totally confident. But she has one secret regret. She was not born a man. I didn't say she looked like a boy, nor did I intend to imply she doesn't do a bang-up job of being a female. It's just that, unconsciously, she would prefer to be a man. Less restriction-more opportunity. It's the one secret she even hides from herself, and seeing it exposed won't sit well with her.(as i always say, jun looks like a transversite when she wears dresses)
She can be overbearing and domineering, sarcastic and frigid- then turn as hot as an oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit. She can hate with bitter venom and love with fierce abandon. She can shriek like a furious banshee or whisper like an affectionate turtle dove. (perhaps this explains why the twins are always fighting with each other)
Of the Libra:
Notice the entire effect of the face. It will always wear a markedly pleasant expression. Even when the Libran is angry, somehow he or she will manage to look mild, or at the very least, neutral. Venus voices are typically sweet and clear as a bell, and these people seldom raise them to a shrill or bellowing pitch. A Libran is the only person on earth who can say, "I hate you and I'm going to punch you in the nose," and sound as if he's reciting Browning's "How Do I Love Thee?" (My sister: face of an angel, spawn of the devil)(think of how xinying looks when she is saying things like " i want to kill Miss In. sweet)
She can't seem to make up her fickle mind whether she made a mistake or not. First they'll talk up a storm and monopolize the conversation. Then they'll listen intently, with flattering interest. When others are fighting, theyll play the role of peacemaker, and smooth everyone's ruffled feathers. Then they'll turn right around, deliberately take the other side in discussion, and start an argument for the pure relish of it. (anyone who thinks this does not apply to xinying must be blind and deaf)
The Libra character is made up of equal parts of kindness, gentleness, fairness, plain argumentativeness, stubborn refusal to capitulate, philosophical logic and indecision. It's best to examine these ingredients in detail. The argumentativeness, for instance. A Libran will argue with you about what time it is if he thinks your watch is two seconds off. (With my sister I get this, with xinying, we have experienced this too. recall the xinying vs bao saga)
All that weighing can drive a person simply wild. It can drive the Libran himself into a state of constant indecision. Even the most controlled Venus men and women dislike making instant decisions without taking all the possibilities into consideration. Fairness can be a fetish. (has anyone ever gone shopping with xinying or my sister before?)
It's amusing that Librans will always immediately deny their Indecisiveness. The first thing they'll say when you're describing their Sun sign will be, "I'm not indecisive at all. That's not accurate. It certainly doesn't describe me." (how very true)
Ok, here's what the site says about Sagitarius:
Sagittarius is completely free of malice. He blurts out his shockingly direct speech in total innocence. Don't judge him too harshly. He means well. Not that he needs your sympathy. Under his tactless manner is an extremely clever mind and high standards. His unique combination of wit, intelligence and fiery drive usually brings the archer straight to the winner's circle. Both male and female Sagittarians are oblivious to their own blunt speech. They are truly convinced that they are the most diplomatic souls in the world. In fact, everything they do is done honestly. Pretense and deception appalls them. ( hee hee it's so amusing. somebody who knows me, tell me if this is true)
Look for a fairly large, well-shaped skull and a high, broad forehead. The features will be open and cheerful, inviting friendship and the exchange of ideas, and the movements will normally be rapid. They make wide, sweeping gestures, which may be dramatic and vigorous, but not very graceful. Sagittarius can wave his arms to make a point, and upset the ketchup. He'll stride purposefully forward, head high, and trip over the curbstone. (ahh.. i remember how i once made the whole shelf of hammers collapse in the D.I.Y. store with one toilet sucker)
Sagittarians are normally restless. They hate to sit or stand still. The archer is physically conspicuous, if only through his obvious confidence and his disregard for conventional behavior. He walks as if he's really going somewhere. There's no halting or hesitating. ( me! me! me! so this is why everybody is always asking me why i walk so fast)
What is on the archer's mind and heart is almost instantly on his lips. He's as frank and earnest as a six-year-old. (freudian slips are part of everyday life for me. recall the time i shouted "kao beh kao bu" to some kids with the parents nearby and almost got into trouble. opps!)
High-spirited Jupiter people can't stand to be accused of dishonesty. But after a fiery display of temper, the Sagittarian will feel remorse and make amends. He'll black your eye and put you in the hospital, but he'll shower you with flowers and sympathy the next day. The archer usually speaks and acts first, and considers the consequences later. ( yes i hate liars and i like to whack people up)
Life seldom defeats these people permanently. They believe that tomorrow will be better than yesterday, and today is pretty interesting. Moody spells are gone almost before the clouds have a chance to obscure the sunshine. (yes. it's good to have a bright tomorrow. always look on the bright side of death)
She will probably live alone. Sagittarius girls are very independent, and both sexes have a strange aloofness to family ties. Maybe it's because they travel so much. Even if they only travel to the movies and friends' houses, they're restlessly on the go. (i told you i need to travel)
She pals around with many men. Since she's so scrupulously honest and aboveboard, she may be a little careless of her reputation and contemptuous of the hypocrisy demanded by society. If you question her about it, she'll be plain-spoken. (the time i quarreled with LL over why i wasn't allowed to go to jason's house to play, this is probably what happened)
The typical Jupiter girl has a large appetite. She likes good food and wine, nice clothes, and when she travels, she likes to go first class. Sagittarians are extravagant by nature. The travel bug will always be nearby to give her a case of wandering fever. ( yup so true!)
Sagittarius girls are acutely bored by the confinement of dusting and mopping. No sooner does she make a bed than it gets unmade. Her cooking? Well-you can never tell. Maybe you'd iust better eat out. (refer to blog entry on my stint as a housewife)
The Jupiter girl may go through a tomboy stage, and you'll always be reminding her to "act like a lady". She has her own ideas of what makes "a little lady". It starts out with honesty. Naked, unadorned, brutal honesty. They will refuse to be docile little slaves, meekly obeying every 'parental whim. (my parents found this out the hard way)
Both sexes probably enjoy school. Their multiple-faceted intelligence and great curiosity will make learning a fascinating game, if their bright interest isn't squelched by too much dull, boring routine and too much insistence on strict regulations and rigid study habits. (yup, i was lucky to have had interesting teachers most of the time)
There may be a deep and very serious interest in religion. As they grow older, they'll question dogmas, perhaps change faith and church membership, searching eternally for truth. (there was a time i seriously thought about studying theology in university. i even asked teachers for advise. and i don't go to church because i find most of them too fake)

Last night, I watched Hotel Rwanda with LL, jun and wen. It about the genocide in Rwanda and this hotel manager who saved a lot of people. We were quite sickened by the stuff in the show. The Rwanda genocide was one of the great failures of the UN. You all should do a Google on it and read about all the sickening stuff that happened. Maybe somebody can stop such things from happening again.

I went to cut my hair yesterday. When I came home, there was hair all over my clothes. I went to the rabbit cage and shook all the hairy stuff over them. Revenge! Sweet revenge! For all the times they shed their rabbit fur on my clothes.
Walked past Zhonghua secondary school and Yangzheng primary school today. The students walking out from the secondary school had things like roses and balloons in their hands (the girls). Valentine's day is a day of exorbitantly- priced flowers. I'm always amused to see how much people are willing to pay for dying plant parts.
A boy was walking out from the primary school. He was shouting some parting words to a girl. "I wish you good luck when you go to his house later! You can go to bed with him"
Valentine's Day celebrations in secondary schools are apparently more towards the puppy love, romance type while those in primary schools are more physical.

This month, i'm helping out back at AJ. Together with 2 J2 StAJeworks members, I'm mentoring cougar house's representative for the inter-house drama competition on 22Feb.
There's this RI boy in my group who has a classic case of the Lamer's syndrome. I haven't seen a case as serious as this outside of the lame ol' RGS family. Let me tell you some of his lame cracks. You will want to kill somebody.
The guy who typed the script did it with many typos. "Surgery" became "Suregery". R.I.Lamer said, "It's a typo? I thought it was supposed to a a play on words! Like SURE-gery." We all killed him.
The girl who plays the nurse has this line where she says, "I am a Nurse. Can I help you?" R.I.Lamer suggested that she pronounce "a" as "ay". The line would go like this: " I am ay Nurse. Can I help you?" Ay nurse= anus. Get it? We killed him again.
R.I.Lamer plays a dentist who has to pull out some other guy's rotten tooth. He is supposed to examines the tooth and pronounce it rotten. He informed us today that he had a brilliant idea for a new line which goes like this, " I can see the tooth! It's so rotten it's blue. It's a bluetooth!" We didn't allow him to use the line. And killed him again.
Is lameness a contagious disease that originated from the founder of the Raffles Schools? Or did he get it from his happy, gay buddy Mr W. F***quar? This might be a significant historical discovery.
Other than being Lame, RI boy is also weird in other ways. He is allergic to bright lights which worries me because firstly, I might be befriending a vampire and secondly, how is he going to act on stage with all the fiendishly bright stagelights?
Earlier, I took RI boy aside to a sunny spot to help him with his lines while the other mentors worked with the other actors. So it was just the two of us. While he was saying his lines, the sun came out from behind the clouds and he went, " ah! ah! so bright! my eyes are tearing!" Made me a little uneasy. Like I was all alone with a real vampire. No choice but to move to a shady spot. Then, after we had finished working on his lines and were sitting around waiting for the others to call us back to the room, RI boy suddenly asked,
"Do you have my handphone number?"
(my heart was bob-bob-bob-bob. i was wondering if the innnocent little kid was actually a freaky, weird psychopath)
I said, "No. Why?"
He said,"Oh, that's ok then, cos my mother confiscated my phone"
(wah... I phhheeeeeeww. luckily not a psycho)
And the conversation proceeded to more familiar and comfortable grounds.
"Why did she do that?"
"My mother is Anti-ME"
"Oh really. How interesting"
Kids nowadays, some of them are really strange, you know. Funny and rather interesting. But Strange. Very strange.
Then again, who am I to criticise? Anyone who remembers how I went around guzzling ketchup and terrorising children would know that I have no right to call most other people "weird".

on the morning of the first day of lunar new year, i woke up at the unearthly hour of 6.30am , had a one hour shower and went to food dist. I could't believe the amount of stuff they were giving the old folks. each person recieved two big bags full of stuff like toilet paper, soy sauce, salt, soft drinks, maggi mee, 3 jars of new year goodies, lots of caned food. it's unhelthy but who cares as it's new year. unlike normal saturdays where the old folk came down to the void deck to collect the stuff, we delivered the goods to the doorstep of every receipient. i went with xinying whose arm almost broke due to the unbelievable weight of canned food. even my fingers almost broke. i couldn't carry more than two bags in one hand. (normally i'm cool with four)
after food dist, i proceeded to my grandmother's house to get hongbao money.
new year is just great. you get to have both money and good food. although the angbao harvest isn't as good this year as in previous years, i'm thankful. I tried to sneak angbaos meant for my absent sister but my mummy strangled them out of me. damn. i was hoping i could have double happiness this year by taking adela's angbaos. now i console myself with the thought that she is facing starvation down under as her homestay auntie's cooking tastes like crap and she has no momey to but good food.
the food this year is as superb as it has always been. teochew people(father's side) make good yusheng and cantonese(me mummy's side) make good vegetarian dishes and tidbits. yesterday, i went to some relatives house where i had tidbits for lunch. stuffing things like bakwa, egg rolls and assorted junk into my mouth. i never thought that you could make a meal of such things.
